The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times......

Li Qing sorted out the long-abandoned vegetable garden, sowing seeds, watering and weeding...... The sun rises, and the sun rests;

Sometimes I would go to hunt pheasants and hares, just like the rhythm of life when I first started with Master in the small Taoist temple......

The air in the mountains is fresh, the mountain spring water is sweet, and he lives well alone.

That's what he thinks......

Time flows, and the years are quiet......

Winter goes to spring, and spring is blooming.

The dilapidated small Taoist temple, under Li Qing's repair, is decent again.

On this day, Li Qing took down the only object in the Taoist temple that has never been replaced - the plaque!

The plaque has decayed, and the vigorous and powerful characters of the past are also blurred, and it is vaguely recognizable that there are three big characters written on it-

"Wudang Dao".

Li Qing remembered that when he first met his master, the little old man threatened to open a mountain and establish a faction, be a majestic founding patriarch, and make him a senior brother.

At that time, Li Qing only felt that the little old man was unreliable, and he was purely fooling him into working, so he didn't care about it.

The little old man was lazy, he was lazy, and he was poor at the time, so he never made it......

Li Qing carefully brushed off the dust on it, and whispered to himself: "After resting for so long, some things are going to be put on the agenda......

In fact, now there is a Wudang faction in the Ming Dynasty, which was built in the name of Zhang Sloppy, and even has a considerable scale, but to be precise... This is not the credit of his master Zhang Sloppy, but ...... Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di's appeasement was successful, Zhu Yunwen's whereabouts were unknown, and the weak-hearted Zhu Di asked Hu Hui to look for Jianwen everywhere in the name of looking for the immortal Zhang Sloppy.

In order to be persuasive, Zhu Di paid for the construction of a Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain in the name of Zhang Sloppy, in order to seek the favor of the immortals.

At the same time, in order to flaunt his orthodoxy and help consolidate the imperial power, Zhu Di said: He was martyred because he was ordered by Taizu; The complete success of Jingnan was blessed by Emperor Zhenwu...... Wudang Mountain is dedicated to the Emperor Zhenwu.

But...... These are all political reasons, and they are not Master Li Qing's original intention.

Huaxia Taoism has a long history, and Wudang, as a rising star, is not very famous, whether it is Zhengyi Religion or Quanzhen Religion, it is not comparable to Wudang Taoism.

Li Qing felt that it was necessary for him to carry forward "Wudang Dao".

But then again, all Taoism taken together is nowhere near as good as Buddhism.

In terms of popularity, Taoism is a younger brother in front of Buddhism!

There is no way, the Elysium depicted by Buddhism is too gripping to people's hearts, believing in Buddhism can lead to rebirth in Bliss, believing in Taoism......

Li Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, muttering: "Since ancient times, the true feelings cannot be kept, only routines can win people's hearts; Taoism is pragmatic, but it also suffers from pragmatism. ”

However, Li Qing felt that Taoism may not be able to regain its glory, and now that the Ming Dynasty is extremely prosperous, people have become pragmatic and no longer so obsessed with ethereal......

Li Qing put on a brand new plaque, still named "Wudang Dao", and hung it above the Taoist temple.

Then, he went down the mountain to find workers and expand the temple......

……

~

Kyoshi, Imperial Palace.

The maid of the first palace looked down at her bigger and bigger, and she was about to be unable to hide her belly, and she was very distressed.

She didn't expect that an unexpected encounter that shouldn't have happened would have made her pregnant.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing, because she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Ming Emperor.

However, she did not dare to speak out.

The emperor favors Wan Guifei alone, the queen has not been able to give birth to an heir, and the eldest son of the emperor has not been favored by Concubine Xian, she doesn't think that she can turn over with this, and may even cause trouble......

She privately heard from the slaves and maids that the emperor's heirs were scarce, and it was possible that Wan Guifei was bad.

The emperor had a lot of opportunities, and it was not something she could see at all, in fact, she had not seen the emperor since that time.

She felt that once the news of her pregnancy spread, Concubine Wan would definitely know about it before the emperor, and then ......

She has been in the palace for so long, she knows too well what the people in the palace are like, almost all of them are snobbish, and they tend to be inflammatory.

But the belly is so big, and it is impossible to keep it hidden.

How difficult is it to secretly give birth in the palace...... It's comparable to ascending to the sky, and you can't hide it from people at all.

This can make her worried, she doesn't dare to expose it, but she can't hide it, what should she do?

Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

"Miss Li, where's the key?"

"Huh? Oh..."She hurriedly got up, and when she saw the person clearly, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "The slave has seen her father-in-law." ”

"Excuse me," Wynne waved his hand, "the key to our house." ”

"Yes," Miss Li took the key and offered it with both hands, she wanted to say something, but she saw that Huaien was followed by dozens of fathers-in-law, and swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Wynne was in a hurry to withdraw the money, but he didn't notice her strangeness, and after taking the key, he took out the one on his body and opened the door of the inner library smoothly.

Only then did he turn around and say, "Miss Li, you can also come in and watch, you are the female official in charge of the inner treasury, and we still have to reconcile the account books at the end of the year." ”

"Yes." She nodded, and followed her into the storeroom.

In the past two years, the state's fiscal revenue has soared, and the treasury is full, which is very gratifying.

When they came in, the little eunuchs began to carry out the silver, one box, two boxes, three boxes......

Miss Li carefully checked the number of silver taels, recorded them in the book, and devoted herself to her work, forgetting her thoughts for a while.

Seeing that these fathers-in-law were moving endlessly, she couldn't help but be curious, "Father-in-law, take so much money at once, but ......?" ”

"Alas, it's not four. Sichuan's capital is starting to be dishonest again, and the emperor is ready to send troops. Wynne said casually, "Hey, why are you telling you this, you just keep the accounts." ”óΠъ.oяＧ

"Yes, the slave is speechless." Miss Li nodded yes and continued her work.

lasted for nearly two hours, and it was not until the end of Shen Shi that the little eunuchs who moved the money finally stopped.

Huaien returned the key to Miss Li and was about to leave, but Miss Li hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law, can you come back tomorrow to get the money?" ”

"No, you can't let the inner treasury pay all the money." Wynne smiled, "There are so many mouths in the palace, you can't starve people, right?" ”

He glanced at Miss Li and said in surprise, "It's all summer, why are you still wearing it...... Isn't it hot? ”

Miss Li looked outside, the little eunuchs were tired and panting, squatting on the ground to rest, no one looked this way, and said busily:

"Father-in-law...... Borrow a step to speak. ”

Wynne was surprised, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"It's about the emperor...... The father-in-law came with the slave and the maid. Miss Li looked anxious.

Wynne's eyes froze, and he hurriedly followed her a few steps inside, avoiding the sight of the little eunuch outside.

"What's the matter with the emperor, make it clear." Wynne said solemnly.

Miss Li looked out and made sure that no one could see it, then pointed to her stomach:

"Father-in-law, the slave is pregnant."

"Huh?"

Wynne almost bit his tongue: "Where is this, I'm a eunuch...... Hiss~ Wait!

He lost his voice and said: "Emperor, emperor, emperor? ”

"No, no, what else?" Miss Li was frightened by him and stumbled when she spoke.

Wynne was stunned, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses, and his expression became serious:

"Did you deceive us?"

"How dare a slave?" Miss Li shook her head, more aggrieved, "If your father-in-law doesn't believe it, you can ask the emperor." ”

After a pause, she said nervously: "Please also ask your father-in-law not to tell anyone other than the emperor." ”

She has a very good impression of Wynne, this father-in-law treats people kindly, and her job is arranged by Wynne, which is very relaxed and comfortable.

"It's nature." Wynne nodded slightly, he hadn't completely shaken off the shock, "When?" ”

Miss Li's face was flushed, but she also knew that now was not the time to be shy, and replied:

"Last winter."

"Okay, okay, our family is ......" Wynn paused, his tone became more and more kind, and with a hint of respect, "Miss Li, you have to take good care of your body, and the wealth of the sky is waiting for you." ”

Miss Li didn't care about this, she just instructed: "Father-in-law, remember, you can only let the emperor know." ”

"Huh? This is a great thing, there is no need to hide it...... All right. Huai En didn't want to have a bad relationship with the prospective mother, so he nodded and promised: "Our family only tells the emperor alone, and we will never talk much." ”

"So, there is Father-in-law Lao." Miss Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Wynn was also polite, said some auspicious words, and then walked out.

…

Qianqing Palace.

At the end of the busy day, Zhu Jianshen was ready to relax and reward himself, but unexpectedly, as soon as he left the palace, he met Huai En, who came in a hurry.

Zhu Jianshen stopped and asked, "The silver was taken out?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wynn bowed, and then said, "Your Majesty, slaves... Slave ......"

He couldn't find an entry point for the topic for a while, and he was afraid that he would be deceived by that girl.

"Your Majesty, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhu Jianshen frowned: "What happened?" ”

"Please also ask the emperor to fulfill it." Wynne said stiffly.

"Hmm...... Go in and say. Zhu Jianshen reflexively walked back to the main hall, and Huai En hurriedly followed.

It wasn't until he entered the inner hall that Zhu Jianshen frowned and said, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

Huai En considered the wording and asked cautiously: "The slave dares to ask the emperor last winter, has he ever been to the inner library?" ”

Zhu Jian was deeply angry: "Presumptuous, can't I go to my inner house yet?" ”

"The emperor forgives the sins." Huai En was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to explain: "The emperor has misunderstood, how dare the slave and maid have such thoughts, the slave and maid are saying, did the emperor go to Neiku to see Miss Li in the winter last year?" ”

After a pause, "The slave also saw Miss Li today." ”

"Last winter, Miss Li ......" Zhu Jianshen repeated, suddenly remembered something, and said: "I remember, her surname is Ji!" ”

"That's the case, Li and Ji in the barbarian are ...... same sound" Huaien explained halfway, and suddenly shut up, people are pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, but they can't say the word 'barbarian' anymore.

Huai En is as good as a stream: "Your Majesty, Miss Ji... Pregnant, now pregnant. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Jianshen's mouth was wide open, and his jaw was about to dislocate.

Don't blame him for being so, it's really ...... I've worked hard with Zhen'er for so long, but I haven't gained anything, and this is only once...... And there's a harvest?

It's a virtuous concubine...... That's not a day's work!
