Chapter 318, Clear Stream
Imprisoned, Li Chengjing is the first time in his life, especially when he enters this kind of legendary prison full of various interpretations and biographies.
He found that the conditions here were many times better than those in the prison in Yizi County.
Although there were no bedding, tables and chairs, the straw was dry, and the air around it did not smell the unpleasant stench of a civil prison.
The jailers who came and went were stopped by the prisoners, and they barely shook their faces, their posture was very low, accompanied by a smiling face.
Li Chengjing, who watched it, was amazed.
"The general looks like he's going out soon!"
The prisoner who was the first to talk on the side chuckled at Li Chengjing and said.
Li Chengjing looked at this person and asked, "This brother, where did you say this?" ”
The man pointed to the armor on Li Chengjing's body and said, "Look at you, you haven't even taken off your armor, it's not like you've been detained for a long time. ”
Li Chengjing laughed, arched his hand and said: "Li Chengjing, the official of Yizi City, has seen Brother Tai, but I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" ”
When the man heard this, he was taken aback, looked Li Chengjing up and down, and asked, "Isn't the official of Yizi City called Li Changming?" ”
"You actually know me, that's just my pseudonym, and my real name is Li Chengjing."
"Not to mention the good news that came back some time ago, it is the two dragon corpses you sacrificed, so that everyone in the Manchu Dynasty knows about the civil and military affairs, and no one knows about it. This official has only been in for a few days, so how can I not know your name. It's just that Li Zhaoguan, why is he also in this prison. ”
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, the official is the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, Guo Xiaoqian."
"I've seen Guo Yushi!"
He was polite to Guo Xiaoqian, but Li Chengjing's mind was already turning.
In front of Emperor Qing before, Emperor Qing clearly looked like he didn't know himself at all.
But now it can be seen from this Guo Xiaoqian that his name has long been spread throughout the Manchu Dynasty, how could Emperor Qing not know who he is.
It seems that there is only one explanation, Qinghuang is pretending to be crazy and stupid.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Chengjing looked at Emperor Qing with admiration.
Before Li Chengjing thought about it, the immortals were separated, with the attitude of Xuanmen towards mortals, although Emperor Qing was powerful, it was still difficult to cultivate his own power on the mountain, even if some casual cultivators who were greedy for the wealth of the world were willing to risk the disapproval of the world and be the lackeys of the human emperor, it was difficult to make any big achievements.
But now, it doesn't look like this.
Emperor Qing obviously already knew the news that he was taken down by Wuxiang Temple, so he could make this acting costume so perfect.
At the same time, I was also shocked by the power of the Wuxiang Temple.
In order to deal with Wuxiang Temple, even the dignified emperor had to put away his temper and act for Wuxiang Temple.
This is enough to show that the Wuxiang Temple is powerful.
As for Longhu Mountain, it was just a coincidence.
"Li Zhaoguan, you just arrived in Kyoto, I'm afraid you don't know that your reputation has long been spread crazy in the capital. In the streets and alleys, many storytellers are saying that you led three hundred horsemen, in the hinterland of Yan Kingdom, come and go freely, and even broke more than a dozen cities, and beheaded Qian Lingyuan, the general of Yanguo Town, is about to be praised to the sky......"
Li Chengjing said with a smile: "It's just a false rumor, but it has disappointed the people of the capital!" ”
"Li Zhaoguan is too humble, it is indeed not like the invincible general, but more like us who read more, in the future in the imperial court, you and I will have to work together, and we will need more support from Li Zhaoguan in the future!"
"It's just a recruiter, how much can you do. Maybe, in the future, I will have to rely on Guo Yushi to help! ”
"Well said, well said. Li Zhaoguan, although the imperial court regulates and recruits officials without asking about the government, no matter how you look at the military exploits you have made this time, it is impossible for you to just serve as a small recruiter. If the official's guess is correct, I think that this time His Majesty should let you recruit you into the army, or the court will stay in office and take up a real position. It's a pity that this official is now in prison and can't go to court, so it's really hard to determine. ”
Li Chengjing pretended to be bright, and said very excitedly: "Then borrow Guo Yushi's auspicious words!" ”
The two of them sat on the ground, across the aisle, and talked for a while.
The surrounding jailers did not dare to come and disturb them.
Through chatting, Li Chengjing learned that this Guo Yushi had heard about it before, and impeached the eldest son of Qin Zhengren, the head of the dynasty, and seized the people's land.
provoked the emperor's anger and was thrown into prison.
However, as an imperial historian, this is all commonplace, and in a few days, when this matter subsides, he will be reinstated and go out from here.
As for whether it will be an accident, Guo Xiaoqian laughed and said: "It's a good accident, this official wishes that the emperor cut off my head, that official is famous in history, maybe he can get a reputation of iron bones and die well!" ”
When Li Chengjing heard this, he immediately realized why the emperors had such a headache for these gossip officials.
This is a group of crazy people who are not afraid of death, and they even wish that they would be executed by the emperor for his words.
After that, countless literati and writers would do everything to praise and praise their kind of people.
If he is lucky enough not to harm his family, then his descendants are loyal ministers, not to mention walking the world unimpeded, but all those who sell their fame and reputation will help.
In time, as long as his descendants are not that kind of waste, it is only a matter of time before he makes a comeback.
If there are still a few virtuous descendants, a small family can be formed.
With his own life, in exchange for the glory of future generations, as long as the dead do not feel at a loss, then what deal is comparable to him.
For this kind of counselor who is not even afraid of death and still occupies righteousness, as long as he doesn't want to be a faint king, even a tyrant will have a headache.
Li Chengjing immediately gave up his thoughts of having a deep friendship with this Guo Xiaoqian.
For this kind of person, they have their own righteousness and thoughts, once there is a conflict of interests between them, they can still call you dad one second, and they will stab you the next second, and there will be no hesitation.
And the rumors of refining zombies, cholera, and various evil demons and foreign ways from the Xuanmen will not be concealed, and when the time comes, these officials will definitely be like sharks that have asked about the smell of blood, frantically pounce and bite, and never die.
Some people may think they are unreasonable, but this is the meaning of their existence and the law of survival.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qinghuang's Qi cultivation kung fu that Taishan collapsed in front of him and did not change color in the past seems to have been broken today.
The chapter had no intention of looking at it anymore, pacing back and forth in the imperial study.
Dai Mao had already been escorted down, leaving only a few eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting for him, accompanied by the silk.
It was only after dark that the great eunuch hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Qing hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the big eunuch and asked, "Big Companion, what's wrong?" ”
Emperor Qing's palm was extremely powerful, and the shoulder bones of the pinched eunuch crackled.
But he didn't dare to cry out for pain, so he could only endure and say: "Back to Your Majesty, you have become younger, you have become younger!" ”
A look of ecstasy burst out in Emperor Qing's eyes, and he asked in disbelief, "Really? ”
The chief eunuch said, "It's true, Your Majesty, the slave and maid found three people, who were sixty, seventy, and eighty years old, and gave them each a pill. After half a day, they have all become more or less four or five years younger, and they are still changing until now, and the slave maid is afraid of making His Majesty anxious, so he came to report first! ”
At this time, Emperor Qing couldn't sit still anymore and said, "Let's go, I want to see with my own eyes!" ”
As he spoke, he followed behind the great eunuch with the silk and rushed all the way to a secret side hall of the palace.
At this moment, outside the side hall, it has long been surrounded by the forbidden army, and before the silk got close, he exclaimed in surprise and shouted: "Your Majesty, the aura of the soldiers is too heavy, I can't get close!" ”
Emperor Qing still had the heart to care about this, so he only left a sentence to return to the palace by himself, and entered the side hall without looking back.
It seems to have long been uninhabited, dilapidated, and weeds growing through cracks in the rocks are everywhere.
Emperor Qing walked through the grass and entered the room, and saw three ordinary people kneeling in it tremblingly, not daring to move.
Emperor Qing saw that the three of them were really different ages, the youngest was in their fifties, and the eldest was seventy or eighty years old.
He didn't say a word, sat on a high seat, didn't speak, just stared back and forth at the three of them all night.
The next morning, a hearty laugh rang out from the side hall.
Then there were three screams.
Emperor Qing dropped the blood-stained sword in his hand, took the porcelain bottle from the hand of the great eunuch, and carefully poured the pills inside into the saucer.
There were four earthy yellow pills rolling in the saucer.
As soon as I thought that this treasure medicine had been eaten by three mortals, I immediately felt heartache and couldn't breathe.
Emperor Qing carefully pinched one and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but was hurriedly stopped by the great eunuch.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"What did you say?" A majestic killing intent erupted from Emperor Qing's body.
The frightened eunuch's feet were weak and he was limp to the ground.
A fishy smell came from his body.
But he still held back his fear and said, "Your Majesty, although this elixir has been proven to restore people's youth, you also know that those Taoists on the mountain say that this elixir is against the way of heaven, and it is unknown to take it, and it will add calamity. You can't take it rashly. Isn't the alchemist in prison, Your Majesty can ask if there is anything evil about this medicine, and it's not too late to take it! ”
Hearing this, Emperor Qing took a deep breath, looked at the pill in his hand, and finally put it down, put away his murderous aura, and said with a smile: "It's my wrong companion, what you said is reasonable." ”
He looked at the sky and said, "The morning dynasty is approaching, wait for you to go to the heavenly prison and bring that Li Changming, no, Li Chengjing to the court." I'm free to arrange! ”
The big eunuch hurriedly responded.
"Clean!"
Emperor Qing put the pills into the porcelain bottle of the pills one by one, then carefully put them in his arms, pressed them with his hands, and walked out of the main hall.
The great eunuch wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, the power of the emperor is too terrifying, like the ancestral dragon in front, fear is born from the bottom of his heart, and he can't be afraid!
Some people died, but not completely......
