"Towering buildings, vast nine days of emptiness. ”

In the palace of King Zhao - Yang Xin, an old eunuch dressed in a blue and black python robe was gently placing a cup of freshly brewed fragrant tea on the bookcase covered with black gold silk. The old eunuch looked cautious, and did not make a sound from beginning to end.

The old eunuch's complexion was fair, and although his face had the wrinkles left by the years, it was still ruddy and luster. I think it must be a way to maintain health, but at this moment, his white face is full of worry!

I saw him hesitate for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to say: "Your Majesty, let's take a sip of hot tea and rest." ”

Hearing the words of the old eunuch, King Zhao just nodded habitually, and continued to watch the music in his hand carefully! While watching, he stretched out his hand to grope for something on the case. When the old eunuch saw it, he understood it and hurriedly moved the teacup to King Zhao's hand. King Zhao took the teacup, and continued to be busy with the fragrant tea, obviously the old eunuch's previous advice, he listened to half and forgot half of it!

After a while, under the expectant gaze of the old eunuch, King Zhao finally put down the music, his straight waist slowly relaxed, and he closed his eyes against the dragon chair and rubbed his sour eyes.

Seeing that there was a look of unbearability in the eyes of the old eunuch, he hurriedly put down the dust in his hand, walked behind him, stretched out his hands that were maintained like women, and gently fell on King Zhao's shoulders and kneaded and massaged.

But for a moment, King Zhao exhaled slightly, and then his tired face added a little relaxation, and he couldn't help but smile and sigh: "Jien! Thanks to your wonderful hands, the widow can manage every day! Your hands are really a wonderful hand, hahaha~..."

Although the old eunuch Wang Jien's massage techniques are a hundred times stronger than that of the eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo. But as far as Wang Jien is concerned, he doesn't dare to accept this praise from King Zhao! As the chief eunuch beside the king, although his status is detached, he is also cautious and knows the subtleties! As for the struggle of the court, he has seen countless things in the wind and rain. Now he can win the favor of the king, thanks to this cautious and indisputable character.

Today's Wang Jien is seventy and two, Xu is well maintained, his face is ruddy and white, his lips are red and his teeth are white, especially those well-maintained hands, even many mothers and concubines sigh when they see it, and often ask for advice on maintenance. Now, if it weren't for his gray temples, people would only be considered to be in the age of not being confused at first sight, which shows that he has a good way of maintaining health.

Wang Jien knew that he had the trust of the king, and that was because he had served two generations of kings. And Zhao Yi, the king of Zhao, is even more like him growing up, and his feelings far exceed the feelings of master and servant. Of course, the most important thing is that he never interferes in government affairs, which can be said to be a strict observance of his duty.

If he has any expectations, it is that he hopes that Zhao Wang will be healthy and healthy, and that he will no longer work day and night, even if it is good to rest for a while. But he also knew that his master's diligence was far superior to that of the previous king. The king's diligence is the king's righteousness, and it is the blessing of the subjects of the world, and it is inconvenient for him to be a slave. But it's so hard to do...... In short, the old eunuch Wang Jien's heart is always entangled and contradictory.

Not much to say, seeing the king's praise at this moment, Wang Jien smiled and said: "Serving the king, that is the duty of the old slave, and doing well is where the duty lies, and the king deserves such a reputation." ”

Listening to the words of the old eunuch Wang Jien behind him, King Zhao knew in his heart that this was Wang Jien's heartfelt words, and he didn't open his eyes and only relaxed, but he stretched out his hand and pointed at the old eunuch Wang Jien behind him and scolded with a smile: "Jien, you, everything is good, it's this person... It's too rigid. ”

Wang Jien listened to the good king say that he was rigid, not only was he not angry, but he smiled, but his hands were not idle, and he replied happily: "The old slave is old, and this character can't be changed~ I have to see Tian'er thinking about how to make the king's body good, and the other old slaves don't understand and don't want to understand." ”

When King Zhao heard this, he said happily: "Hey~!

People say that 'the king is widowed, and the high place is not cold', loneliness is the best description, and the same is true of King Zhao. But the old eunuch Wang Jien is different!

It is true to say that he is a popular person around King Zhao, but those who understand the past know that this old eunuch is a 'daddy' level who has accompanied King Zhao from childhood to adulthood and brought King Zhao up! If you can talk about everything with King Zhao now, it is not the queen and the princes and princesses who are outspoken, but the old eunuch Wang Jien, who is over seventy years old!

Although the old eunuch has this status, he is still kind to others! No matter how noble or low he is in the palace, he is respected and praised, and even the most willful and reckless eldest princess Zhao Yingnuo is polite to him, which shows his weight in King Zhao's heart.

At this time, Wang Jien saw that King Zhao was in a good mood, and he was also happy in his own heart, and said with a kind smile: "The king feels warm, and the old slave is also happy." ”

King Zhao nodded and sighed: "Ji'en, the widow understands your mind, and the widow also wants to relax, but this country is not easy to come by, and it is even more difficult to keep it." Although my Da Zhao is said to be vast and rich, his literary style is prosperous, and he has produced many talents, which can be described as outstanding people. However, the Northland Yan Kingdom often has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, and sometimes has the intention of swallowing whales. Although there has been a lot of peace in recent years, there have been constant disputes on the border...... The widow can't be the short-sighted king. As the saying goes, people who have no foresight must have near-term worries, and besides, the few sons of the widow who are not successful ~ ...... The widow can only be diligent in political affairs and strive to strengthen the country, and the country can be strong without worry. ”

Seeing that King Zhao was so worried about state affairs, Wang Jien had no good way to relieve his worries, so he was relieved.

Wang Jien saw that King Zhao was so worried about state affairs, and said with relief: "The king is diligent and the old slave is indeed a virtuous king, but the old slave does not understand state affairs, but he has heard a sentence, I don't know if the king is willing to listen to the old slave's nagging?"

When King Zhao heard that this rigid old butler had actually learned to hang his appetite, he immediately became interested and curious: "Oh? hehehe~ Let's hear it." ”

And Wang Jien saw that the king agreed, so he changed his gesture and changed it to pinch, and at the same time saw that the king was back to enjoy his face, he smiled and said: "The old slave often said a sentence in the play, called 'The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth', and the old slave wondered, is there no one in the Manchu Dynasty who can share the worries of the king?"

After the old eunuch finished speaking, King Zhao seemed to think of something, and slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to signal the old eunuch to stop and press, and sighed: "Hey~! A few days ago, the widow did meet a person, and when he heard his words, he knew that it was the person the widow was looking for, but it was a pity... Hey...!"

After hearing this, Wang Jien suddenly thought of the palace test that day, and the king often mentioned Luo Yu, so he naturally understood what the king was referring to, so he asked: "...... Wang Shang refers to the champion of the new department, the late Wenqing Hou Luoyu?"

King Zhao sighed and said, "It is indeed Luo Yu, a widow...... Huh?!"

"National Teacher ~ Guanglongzi Meet!" And while the master and servant were chatting, a sudden announcement sounded outside the hall!

As soon as the words fell, I saw a dark figure coming casually, the shirt was open and the feather fan was swaying, and the corners of the mouth were smiling.

If you want to say that this national teacher, Zhao Yan and both countries have it, it is an immortal outside the square! This 'immortal' is the honorific title of a mortal for a monk. Zhao Yan and the two places also rarely knew about the existence of cultivators, and most of them appeared in the form of legends, and only a few people really knew.

Although the cultivation realm is extraordinary, it also needs to be passed on from generation to generation, and a wide range of qualified disciples and disciples are accepted, and this is the importance of the mortal world! Therefore, it is an unwritten rule that the mortal realm of the Divine Continent and the cultivation realm do not interfere with each other. However, there are also a few monks who know that they cannot break through the barriers of the realm, so they simply break the jar and give up the immortal path and become the guests of the throne of the nations! As for these individual cultivators, in the eyes of the cultivation realm, they have fallen and deviated from the Great Dao, as long as their influence is not too much, they naturally disdain to ask about them.

Although these monks are spurned by cultivators in the world, in the mundane world, the status of the national teacher is a transcendent existence! It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that one person is below ten thousand people, and this Guanglongzi is one of them, and his cultivation has entered the middle stage of immaculateness, and for mortals, it is like an immortal. Just look at the fact that now he only made a report, and then he entered casually, which shows that his status is extraordinary!

When he got closer, Guang Longzi smiled and said casually: "Minister Guang Longzi, meet my king." ”

King Zhao has long been accustomed to such a frivolous behavior of the national teacher Guanglongzi. From his point of view, the immortals outside the square act recklessly, and they can't be forced, and they don't intend to be more profitable, so it's better to do what they like.

Seeing this, King Zhao also smiled and said: "The national teacher should not take care of those red tapes and give a seat." ”

After that, I saw the old eunuch Wang Jien behind him, looked at Guanglongzi with displeasure on his face, and put a futon on the left side of King Zhao's left hand, and then left the heart hall with a calm face.

Seeing that there was no one around, Guang Longzi changed his kneeling to sitting cross-legged, and then the smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes became serious!

I saw him ask: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Superior intends to re-investigate the case of the disappearance of Luo Yu, the champion of the new department?"

Listening to the question of the national teacher, King Zhao's eyes showed regret and entanglement, and he sighed and said slowly: "These days, there are many martial arts Chinese and martial arts, and they all say that the champion of the new department has been robbed and killed, and it is even more mysterious to disappear, and it is a loss of national prestige...... , so the ministers all advised to investigate the case thoroughly. ...... This case is not only full of suspicions, but also the disappearance of the new champion for no reason has hurt face, and the country of the Northern Yan barbarians has also sent envoys to mock the widow...... Can... If you continue to investigate, if you annoy the Xuanmen immortals, and ask the widow to explain to the subjects of this society, it is really difficult to choose!"

Looking at King Zhao, who was in a dilemma and sighing, Guanglongzi was even more bored in his heart, and said in his heart, "Ben Shangxian is a national teacher here, so happy and happy." If I provoke the Five Elements Sect and cause trouble, then the life of the Heavenly Immortal of the National Master will not come to an end? Moreover, the master will not let me entangle this matter anymore, so I will quickly calm down this matter and plot to ...... big things. ’

Thinking of the horror of his master, Guang Longzi's heart shuddered for no reason, and saw that King Zhao was still entangled and troubled at this moment.

Guang Longzi pretended to be profound, shook the dragon feather fan, shook his head with a smile, and said: "What the king worries and thinks is the virtue of the Ming Jun, but it is not the posture of the Holy Monarch. ”

King Zhao was not annoyed when he heard this, but he was puzzled for a while, and secretly said, "Isn't this Ming Monarch a Holy Monarch?

Seeing the puzzled look in King Zhao's eyes, Guang Longzi understood that at this moment, the timing was just right.

I saw him holding a feather fan in his hand, and said with relief: "The king doesn't need to be confused, wait for Ben Xiu to come slowly." This virtue of the king has already been practiced, so there is no need to say more. You must know that if you want to become a saint, you need to have the ambition to swallow the world and include the heart of the United States. Emperor Ming Wangu, want to be a monarch for ten thousand years, and rule for ten thousand years, so that he can be a holy monarch!"

When King Zhao heard Guang Longzi's words, he nodded slightly, and he agreed. However, when it comes down to doing and doing, there is a world of difference between the two. Thinking of this, he still didn't know how to choose. And what King Zhao thought, thought, and worried about, it is naturally not difficult to speculate with Guanglongzi's Taoist experience.

So he struck the railroad while it was hot: "Your Majesty, you are the king, and the king's order is heaven, how can the subjects disobey it? If you obey the will of the people, you will be a benevolent monarch, and if you take care of the overall situation, you will be a wise king? Therefore, the king does not need to scruple too much, you must know that the people in the immortal gate have vast powers, and with a wave of your hand, the land can collapse and the blood will flow into a river! If you anger the immortals of the Xuanmen, I am afraid that even the ministers will not be able to protect the king! Between the pros and cons, the way to weigh is which is more important and which is less important, and the king will definitely know which is the other. ”

Hearing this, King Zhao was frightened in his heart, and secretly said, "How can this immortal outside the party have such great powers?" Luo Yu is important, but if it is because of one person, the society is in danger of being tired, then it ......!"

Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up, looking at the national teacher with rare serious eyes, at this time, although he had decided seven or eight in his heart, he still asked reluctantly: "National teacher, the widow naturally understands the trade-off, but every time I think of Luo Aiqing, I am always reluctant to give up, so big can be described as a rare encounter in a thousand years, is there no way to do both....."

Hearing King Zhao say this, Guang Longzi knew that the ending had been decided, and secretly said in his heart, "Look at me to add fire, so that you can give up this matter with satisfaction." ’

Thinking of this, Guanglongzi feather fan shook lightly and pretended to be profound, and smiled calmly: "Hahaha... What's so hard about that?"

Zhao Wang Zhao Yi was sighing with regret, when he suddenly heard that the national teacher suddenly laughed, and he had a slight doubt in his heart and frowned slightly. But when he heard the second half of the sentence, his eyes flashed, and he asked anxiously: "Can the national teacher solve the worries of widows?"

But Guang Longzi nodded and smiled confidently, signaling King Zhao, who was looking forward to it, to be calm and impatient, and then said: "The king forgives the ministers bluntly, the king is a fan of the authorities." ”

Seeing that the national teacher Guang Longzi said this, King Zhao asked curiously: "Oh, how can you say this?"

But Guang Longzi smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, when the palace test was taken that day, Luo Yu was not the only one who shone brightly!"

As soon as King Zhao heard this, he knew that the words of the national teacher were referring to Tao De, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, and said in a flat tone: "Although Tao Qing's talent is also rare in a hundred years, Luo Yu's talent is better than anyone else's. ”

Hearing what King Zhao said, Guang Longzi also nodded in agreement, and then continued: "My king is wise, and the minister also agrees, but... The minister has some superficial opinions, I wonder if the king is willing to listen to it?"

Seeing King Zhao's inquiring eyes, Guang Longzi shook his feather fan leisurely, looking like a master in the world: "First, Taode's theory is well known, although his talent is slightly inferior to Luo Yu, it is not far behind; This is like Qionglou Yuyu is desirable, but it is only a dream of vanity, but the oilcloth umbrella in his hand can shelter from the wind and rain; third, Tao Debi's Luo Yu is better than loyalty! It is more conducive to my king, so the minister thinks that Sai Weng is not a blessing?"

When King Zhao heard this, he was puzzled: "Oh? The national teacher said that Tao Qing is more loyal than Luo Qing, where do you start?"

Looking at King Zhao, who was puzzled, Guang Longzi smiled mysteriously and asked intentionally: "Dare to ask the king, do you know about Tao De's speech and behavior, and all kinds of things in the past?"

This question, King Zhao recalled the scene of that day, and it was not difficult to judge with Tao De's life experience, so he affirmed: "According to the widow's observation, Tao De should be a loyal person, but what does this say?"

Looking at King Zhao with a puzzled face, Guang Longzi suddenly said solemnly: "King Tao Dezhong knows himself, and how Luo Yu is, just refusing to marry from the front of the palace can reflect a little!"

King Zhao asked suspiciously, "Which point?"

Guang Longzi said slowly: "Personal affection is greater than loyalty!"

King Zhao: "......"

After Guanglongzi finished speaking, he looked at King Zhao, whose face suddenly became cloudy, and sneered in his heart, and secretly said, "Hehehe~, the national teacher has long known that you ordinary kings care most about whether your courtiers are loyal to you or not. And suspicion is the common problem of those of you who claim to be holy kings, hum... ’

Guanglongzi is not a loss of being well-informed, and now it seems that this ability to speculate on people's hearts is indeed far greater than his cultivation. And what happened next was as expected, as King Zhao's eyes continued to flicker and change, although the last frowning eyebrows had slowly loosened, those bright eyes became extremely firm.

At this moment, King Zhao smiled and said: "After the national teacher solved the doubts, the hearts of the widows suddenly opened up. ”

Guang Longzi smiled and said, "Thanks to my Wang Yingming." ”

After receiving King Zhao's reply, Guang Longzi naturally felt comfortable, "I can finally give an account to the master, but before that, I have to enjoy it first~~~." ’

And just when Guanglongzi was smiling evilly at the corner of his mouth, fantasizing about all kinds of bliss in his heart, King Zhao suddenly asked with an expectant expression: "National Teacher, I don't know when Yingnuo will become an immortal?"

Guanglongzi's heart was suddenly interrupted, and there was a sudden burst of annoyance and abuse in his heart, "Immortal? hum~ Under Ben Xiu's body, he is happy like an immortal, and he is almost hehehe... A mortal woman can be the forbidden body of this cultivation, and it is her blessing to receive the rain and dew of this cultivation...... Do you still want to become an immortal? ’

No matter what Guanglongzi thinks in his heart at this moment, or how dirty he is, his face is full of confidence, and he is determined to promise nonsense: "Don't worry, the king, this first step into the immortal gate is the most difficult, and now the ministers will go to teach carefully every day, and the eldest princess's talent is not bad...... Hmm~ wait for the minister to calculate. ”

After speaking, Guanglongzi stretched out his fingers in a matter-of-fact manner, pinched his fingers and calculated, and there were words in his mouth, and his expression kept changing, sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching his .......

Seeing that the national teacher's expression was so uncertain, King Zhao was even more uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "The national teacher has such an expression, could it be that the situation has changed?"

Guanglongzi seemed to have a rich expression, but in fact he secretly observed King Zhao, seeing that he was so worried, he knew that his goal had been achieved, so he slowly opened his slightly closed eyes, and said seriously: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king!"

Suddenly hearing the congratulatory words of the national teacher, King Zhao was stunned at first, and then Long Yan Dayue urged excitedly: "The national teacher quickly said, is it that Yingnuo is about to become an immortal?"

Seeing that King Zhao looked excited, Guang Longzi also nodded with pretended relief and said: "Your Majesty, Fang Caichen has calculated for the eldest princess, two years for the fast, three years for the slow, the eldest princess will definitely be able to break through the cage and enter the ranks of the immortals! The minister will teach him what he has learned all his life, and then the king will have two immortals in charge, and he will no longer be afraid of the vulgar country of Beiyan, and the hegemony will be worry-free!"

Seeing the words of the national teacher Guanglongzi, King Zhao was overjoyed, thinking that in the future, he Zhao would have two immortals! He could Chen soldiers to the north of Qingqiu Mountain, wait for the opportunity to force the barrier of the Heavenly Bridge, and then occupy Northern Yan Cangzhou with the power of thunder. At that time, with one state in the north in hand, he will be able to attack, retreat and defend, and the national strength of the land with four states will increase greatly,... The day of winning the world can be expected!

Seeing that King Zhao had begun to indulge in the 'Wang Tu Hegemony', he Guanglongzi was too lazy to spend time daydreaming with King Zhao here, so he got up and excused himself to teach the eldest princess to cultivate, and said goodbye and left.
