Chapter 59: The Covenant
Seeing that this Chang'an City suddenly changed, countless forces came here one after another to check, and the divine thoughts of the Yuan Shen characters swept by, Su Ming knew in his heart that it was because he brought out the immortal seed that caused the change. Looking at the dark clouds in the sky that were slowly receding, Su Ming faintly felt that the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Seed had not completely passed, and he was afraid that there would be many twists and turns in the future.
Put away the immortal seeds, slowly walked down the street, and after half an hour, Su Ming had already felt in his heart that a familiar person was waiting for him in the inn.
After entering the inn, he walked straight to the private room, pushed the door and entered, and inside was the original Confucian Li Yu, who is also the current prince Li Heng.
When Li Heng saw someone coming in, he looked at it and saw that it was Su Ming, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Brother Su, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”
Su Ming saw Li Heng, only to see a faint golden light appearing on his top, turning into a dragon shape, obviously a person with the spirit of the Son of Heaven. It's just that the dragon is still in the form of four claws, and it has not achieved a five-clawed golden dragon, and it is also because it has not ascended the throne and has not yet become the ninety-five supreme. In a flash of light, he understood Li Heng's identity, smiled slightly, and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Li was actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, but it was disrespectful." ”
Li Heng smiled bitterly again and again: "Brother Su, don't laugh at me, with your current cultivation, even if you see my father, you will be on an equal footing." When he walked the rivers and lakes, he had to take a pseudonym, which made Brother Su smile. ”
Su Ming smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li is here, but is it for the sake of He's family?" ”
When Li Heng heard this, he didn't flicker, he was frank and open-minded, and said: "Brother Su is not bad, it is for the sake of He's family." ”
Su Ming said indifferently: "The He's Bi is a collection of the luck of all the people, and the royal family will definitely gain wings like a tiger." But as far as I know, since the Anshi Rebellion, the life of the royal family has not been very easy. When He's Bi is in his hand, he may not be able to hold it. ”
Li Heng smiled bitterly: "Naturally, I can't hide it from Brother Su." After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "Since the Anshi Rebellion, many feudal towns have been divided, and the power controlled by the royal family is very limited. In the imperial court, Confucianism and Legalism attacked each other, and the soldiers seemed to be detached, but in fact they were secretly competing. ”
Su Ming suddenly asked: "After I entered Chang'an City, I felt the breath of three primordial gods, one Confucianism, one law and one soldier, can Brother Li tell me who these three people are?" ”
Li Heng pondered for a moment and remained silent.
Su Ming smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, but it doesn't matter, in my place, even if it is a Yuan Shen figure, it can't be explored." ”
"Okay, I'll just talk to Brother Su." Li Heng seemed to have made up his mind and said: "The Yuan Shen figure of Confucianism is actually Zheng Wenxu, the ancestor of the Zheng family, one of the five great families. He was originally in Xingyang, but a few days ago, for some reason, he suddenly came to Chang'an, but I am afraid that he also came because of Brother Su. ”
"The Yuan Shen figure of the Legalists is an outstanding figure of the Legalists in the post-martial period, called Han Mu. This person is rumored to be a descendant of Han Feizi and has achieved the success of the Legalist family. Although he did not participate in the government, his influence on the Legalists naturally goes without saying. ”
"The Yuanshen figure of the soldier family is actually the descendant of Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, who got the method of the soldier of the Duke of Weiguo, and achieved the Yuanshen figure, called Li Zongguo."
When Su Ming heard this, he was also taken aback, and said, "The descendants of Wei Guogong? Since he can achieve the Yuan Shen figure, the original Wei Guo Gong ......"
Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, is a legendary figure in his own right. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, his military exploits were prosperous, he was the first person in the military, and he was known as the god of the Tang Dynasty! He wrote many books on the art of war, but they were all lost to later generations. His descendants can all achieve the Yuan Shen figures, and the Wei Guogong himself can be imagined.
Li Heng said: "It's not a secret, at the beginning, Wei Guogong actually achieved the Yuan Shen character. It's just that later he didn't like to participate in the court, so he gradually faded out. It is rumored in the world that he was seriously ill and died, but in fact, he disappeared with his wife, and he didn't know where he went. ”
When Su Ming heard this, he remembered that Li Jing's wife, Hongfu Nu, is also a legendary figure, and it is described in many strange or folk customs, and obviously the origin is also extraordinary.
When Su Ming heard the origin of these three people, they were all extraordinary, thought about it for a while, and said, "The attitude of these three people is ......."
Li Heng sighed: "It's ambiguous, if their attitude is obvious, my Li family won't be so embarrassed." It is precisely because their attitude is unclear that Confucianism, Legalism, and military are a mess, and they are still chaotic. ”
When Su Ming heard this, he suddenly felt something. Previously, in the Taoist temple, Yuan Qimo once said that between heaven and earth, there is a fixed number. Thinking about coming to the Li Tang royal family, it is also one of the fixed numbers. These three primordial figures deduced the heavenly opportunity, and naturally understood that Datang would continue like this, with only nearly a hundred years of life, because they didn't want to get involved.
But if you bring the immortal seeds out and disturb the heavens, the number of days has changed, and the attitude of these three may not be impossible to fight for one or two. If the three parties work together, and the royal family regains the peace family, the general trend of the world may not be able to change.
Su Ming smiled slightly and said, "In your royal family, there are naturally capable people, and the reason for the unclear attitude of these three people can be understood if you want to come." The blessings and misfortunes of people and the luck of the country are not a secret in the eyes of the Yuan Shen figures. ”
When Li Heng heard this, he said bitterly: "I naturally understand, but I'm not reconciled!" I have been familiar with the classics since I was a child, and I have been proficient in all of them. I also know that since my grandfather, as long as the people of my Li family sit on the throne, it is difficult to live more than forty, but I am not reconciled! ”
"In this world, the world is gradually chaotic, and the people are not happy, and I, the Li Tang royal family, should rise up and reproduce the prosperity of the past. Why can the so-called heavenly machine, the so-called number of days, wipe out the efforts of countless people and destroy the hopes of countless people? ”
Li Heng became excited, looked at Su Ming, and said, "There is a great power that has seen it for me, Brother Su knows how long I live, and it is less than thirty years!" ”
"Thirty years of life, I don't care, if I can see the world unified, prosperous, the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, then even if I fall into the eighteenth layer of hell after death and suffer endless suffering, I am willing!"
At this time, Li Heng seems to have changed back to the original Confucian Li Yu again, he is familiar with the scriptures and history, knows the morality and righteousness of the world, and the suffering of the people is in his heart. At this time, he invisibly merged with the Confucian Haoran righteousness, the spirit and spirit were emanated, and the heart of a pure child was visible.
Although he was excited, his aura was covered by Su Ming, and he would not leak a single bit.
Seeing this, Su Ming said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't get excited, this world is not a matter of one day and one day. The longevity determined by the number of days may not be true. Since Brother Li has this heart, I should help you. ”
When Li Heng heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "With Brother Su to help, why worry about this matter?"
Su Ming said: "But I have one thing to explain in advance, in the future, if you or your descendants, after ascending to the throne, act arbitrarily and ignore the suffering of the people, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless."
"In my eyes, this world does not have to be Li Tang, as long as the people have enough food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment, no matter which family or surname, I don't care."
When Li Heng heard this, he was silent for a long time, and seemed to remember many past events, and sighed for a long time: "In the past, the ancestor Taizong once said that the people are like water, the king is like a boat, and the water can carry a boat or overturn a boat. At that time, if the people really suffer and the people are not happy, I am afraid that without Brother Su's help, all the people in the world will make my Li Tang Jiangshan cease to exist. ”
When Su Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "Since you have this idea, then it's the best." But there is no basis for empty words, it depends on your actions. ”
Li Heng laughed and said, "This is natural." And said: "I don't know what Brother Su has planned?" ”
Su Ming said: "Brother Li, look." Two golden ears of seedlings were taken out of the sleeves, and although they were small, they looked like they were finely carved.
Seeing this, Li Heng said curiously: "Brother Su, what is this?" ”
Su Ming said lightly: "It can protect Li Tang's hundreds of years of things." ”
Li Heng's cultivation is excellent, even if he doesn't believe it, he doesn't show it, anyway, he said: "Please give me advice from Brother Su." ”
Su Ming was concise and said: "This is the condensation of the peasant master's painstaking efforts for thousands of years, this rice and wheat, after planting, the yield of one mu can reach as much as two thousand catties. Brother Li, do you understand? ”
When Li Heng heard this, he was shocked, and the shock in his heart far exceeded that of Su Ming at that time, and it was difficult to even speak: "Brother Su...... You're really ......."
Su Ming said: "It is because of this thing that the farmer has not dared to appear in the world for many years. I went out with this thing, and thunder fell. The so-called twists and turns, now it is only the first catastrophe in the past, and there are still two behind. As long as the three tribulations have passed, this thing can truly promote the world and benefit all people! ”
Li Heng looked at the two small seedlings, and many thoughts flashed in his heart, and he said after a long time: "Before I came, I heard that the heavens were chaotic and the number of days changed, could it be that this is what happened?" Such a divine object should never be extraordinary, it should be a heavenly thing! ”
After a while, he stood up, bowed to Su Ming, and said solemnly: "If this thing can be done, as long as the descendants of future generations are not too mediocre, Li Tang Jiangshan will not be lost." Brother Su's great kindness, Li Heng has nothing to repay, he can only remember it. In the future, as long as it is not harmful to the society and does not violate the morality of the world, Li Heng is duty-bound. ”
Su Ming accepted his salute calmly and said, "It's not a good thing that He's Bi is returned now, and the royal family is easy to become the target of public criticism." You should be prepared for what to do. Now that Chang'an City is mixed with dragons and snakes, it is inevitable that your trip will fall into the eyes of those who care about it, and I will erase all your whereabouts on this trip. ”
When Li Heng heard this, his heart was settled, he exhaled a breath, and said: "With the help of Brother Su, the blessing of the world and the blessing of the common people." ”
Su Ming smiled slightly and said, "Brother Li, go and prepare, when it's time for me to appear, I will appear." ”
Li Heng laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go." ”
Su Ming watched Li Heng leave, the brilliance flashed in his eyes, and then he reached out and grabbed all the aura that Li Hengyi exuded in his hand, and then the clear light flashed and dissipated, leaving no trace.
After Li Heng went, he didn't mention it secretly, but said that the cultivation world noticed the change in heaven, and they all acted secretly, and the disciples of each faction went down the mountain. With the help of the cultivation world, the strength and arrogance of the many divided feudal towns have increased dramatically. In contrast, the imperial court seemed very calm, which puzzled many well-intentioned people.
In the decades after the Anshi Rebellion, although the Li Tang royal family was weakened, it also had the heritage of two hundred years of founding. Now deliberately, in silence, the spies and shadows arranged by the rest of the forces have been eliminated one by one. Two or three months passed, and many forces realized that the huge Daming Palace seemed to be empty, and it seemed to be pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
"What the hell are they trying to do?" Countless people were puzzled, but they didn't know what the Li Tang royal family wanted to do. Especially now that the heavens are in chaos, it is impossible to calculate.
Su Ming was like a man walking in the dark, and no one could detect his whereabouts. He is like a chess player, standing outside the chessboard, but controlling every move of the chess pieces inside.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed, and it is July and August. Su Ming's heart moved, and his figure disappeared into the room. Almost at the same time, his form appeared in an extremely hidden valley.
This valley is a hidden place in the mountains outside Chang'an City, and several small hot springs bring out a strong geothermal atmosphere, turning the long canyon within a radius of more than ten miles into mist, humid and hot, just like the south.
In the valley, Li Heng personally took the most elite soldiers to guard, and stepped down from various formations, with the background of the royal family, it is the Yuan Shen figure who came, and it was impossible not to show any traces.
Such a valley is not uncommon in the north, and the reason why Li Heng is here in person is nothing else, it is a paddy field in the center of the valley with a size of about two acres, in which rice plants are planted, and the developed root system spreads all over the paddy field.
These rice stalks are the thickness of a thumb, and from top to bottom they are full of golden ears of rice, densely packed, and full of ripeness, as if there is a thousand pounds hanging down, but they just can't press the rice stalks, as if the rice stalks are not plants, but cast in gold.
At this time, Su Ming's figure was revealed, and he was immediately discovered, Li Heng waved his hand, and the soldiers quieted down again, with a restrained temperament, like sculptures.
Li Heng stepped forward and said to Su Ming: "I have been experimenting here for half a year, and this is the successful planting. Two acres of land can produce more than 4,000 catties in total. There are still some places that have not been taken care of, and if there are professional old farmers, it is not impossible to have 5,000 catties. I also planted wheat, right next to it, the yield was about the same, and the planting conditions were much more relaxed. ”
"If it is promoted, not to mention the current population, even if it doubles by a hundred times, there will be no shortage of food, and everyone can truly have food and clothing."
Su Ming raised his head and looked at the sky, and said, "The farmer has cultivated such an immortal seed, but he does not dare to be born, which shows that this thing is indeed jealous of the sky, and if it is planted, it will inevitably be a disaster from the sky." However, if you can get through it, you will naturally be recognized by heaven and earth. I have stayed here for the next few days, to see what calamity is. You better go back to the palace first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
Li Heng said with a smile: "With these things, we have the foundation to bring Confucianism, Legalism, and soldiers closer." Since you're here, then I'll go back to Daming Palace and wait for good news. ”
