Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 139 Seeking Immortality Is a Dream After All
It was late autumn, in the imperial study, the warm pavilion was already in play, the imperial case was full of folds, and the emperor in a robe sat quietly on the dragon chair, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be in a daze.
At this moment, his attention was not on those twists and turns, his eyes were always inseparable from the grass and fish on the imperial case, and his thoughts were surging, and after a long time, he only heard a sigh.
Immortality, immortality, is nothing but a dream.
Within a few days of stopping the elixir, the Emperor's face was full of haggardness, and the more this happened, the more the Emperor trusted his judgment. Although the reason for some things is not clear, this Mr. Hu must be an out-and-out liar.
Although His Majesty the Emperor is physically and mentally exhausted, as a diligent emperor, even if he is unwell, the emperor will not be lazy in political affairs, which is the duty of the emperor and the right of the emperor.
But the more diligent he is, the weaker and weaker the emperor's body becomes, and the weaker he is, if he doesn't want to let go of the power in his hands, this has almost become an unbreakable knot.
As for Mr. Hu, the situation at this time is not very good, people who have been out of the world for too long, there will always be some miscalculations about the hearts of people in the world.
For example, there is actually only one emperor who cherishes feathers. Most of these officials in the court are pragmatic, and they don't care much about face or anything.
On that day, Mr. Hu left the palace, and at first, many officials invited Mr. Hu to the palace for a banquet, but when these officials came back to their senses, there was gossip from the palace as evidence, and the situation changed.
To Mr. Hu's surprise, it only takes one day to go from the mansion to the door.
They are all old people who have been in the court for many years, and a monk who has not been born for a long time still wants to use them as a shield, which is too whimsical.
Immortality is important, but compared to one's own career, it remains to be considered. What's more, to put it mildly, if you can really live forever, according to our majesty's character who has been begging for immortality for many years and can't, we can't offer this person, how can the two of them fight evil?
People like Mr. Hu who are messing around and want to make a big deal are actually very simple to deal with, and they only need to be treated cold.
Originally, Mr. Hu also had some reputation among the princes and nobles, but these people were all demons and monsters who had been in the officialdom for many years, and if they wanted to borrow from them, Mr. Hu's officialdom was not enough.
As for ordinary people, it is a serious matter to have surplus grain in their own jars and silver hidden under the stove. What about the profound mana of the Dao Master? Which loser is not good at work, and he still wants to ask for immortality, and he must not be beaten to death by his own mother.
The defense of Mr. Hu's mansion was also officially taken over by the Jinyi Guard, and so far, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have already seen it clear that one day, this Mr. Hu will evaporate from the world and go to heaven to find immortals. It's just curious whether this Mr. Hu is also like those Taoist priests, pursuing some way to become an immortal.
Without the hope of immortality, after a sigh, I still have to continue to worry about political affairs. The courtiers seem to be respectful, but in fact they all have a very good idea, but when it comes to their own interests, they will not bow their heads easily.
No, the treasure ships are complete, and it is clear that it is a foregone conclusion to send envoys to overseas countries, but there are still officials there who are noisy, saying that the ancestral system cannot be violated, and it may be a disaster if it is violated.
Joke, if the ancestral system is perfect, then why did the former Han Dynasty perish? If the ancestral system cannot be violated, how can there be this new Han world.
I really want to send all these people who are talking and tongue-making to Saibei to shepherd sheep, but the law does not blame the public, and if you really want to investigate it, I don't know how many people can't escape from it, and there will be no one to work in this court.
Put down this one and open the other one, it was written by Lu Yan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard. This brother Yan obviously has the right to play directly in front of the court, but he still wants to write a recital, and the martial artists learn some literati practices, which is nondescript.
The content of the twist and turn is naturally this calculation against the rivers and lakes, these so-called Jianghu sects, gathering people to practice martial arts, are very large-scale, and they are instability.
What's more, if these chivalrous men have some good behavior, and they still know how to care for the people around them, if they don't have behavior, then they are really relying on their own force and causing trouble.
The evil incident of killing the court officials on the street also occurred in the former Han Dynasty, although the later court had more control, but now, there are signs of gradual emergence.
Corrupt officials and corrupt officials have their own court laws to punish them, when will it be the turn of these chivalrous people to do the right thing for heaven.
Moreover, corrupt officials may also be able officials, and in the final analysis, the court needs people who can do things, not gentlemen who only know what they know all day long.
These rangers don't have the foresight, they only know that they act recklessly, which really adds a lot of trouble to the imperial court. Take 10,000 steps back and say, if the Manchu Dynasty is as they wish, all of them are gentlemen, and this new Han world is afraid of suffering from the misfortune of the old Han.
Because of this, he instructed Lu Yan to plan this operation, and several people in the cabinet also knew it, but they were noncommittal. After the will went on, they did not interfere with it, but they still wanted to protect themselves wisely, and there was no cause and effect.
Look at these sects that have fallen into the trap, most of them are small sects that are not even known by their names and are hidden in the countryside, and the sects that really have a background are all forbearance.
What kind of joke, who would put their heir in danger? Sect Master Lin's family is just this one son, and there will be no trouble with his brother Yan Wall.
Sect Master Lin has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, relying not only on that pair of iron fists, which seems to be bold and uninhibited, but in fact he is an extremely cautious master.
There are also people from several temples in the list, and the emperor thought that no one in the three sects would make a move, but after all, there were still people who couldn't hold back.
As far as the imperial court is concerned, the people in the three religions have their own strengths and weaknesses. Confucianism advocates the support of the dragon, but it competes for power in the court; the Taoist teacher is natural, and there is always a worry about maintaining power; and the Buddha persuades people to be good, but in fact hoards wealth.
These monks, why can't they live in peace for two days, and want to ignore them, but they always jump out to find a sense of existence.
As for the bait this time, Lin Chongming's only son, Lu Yan's plan is also to kill it quickly. Lin Chongming has a lot of rebellious behavior, and the reason why he has tolerated him until now is not because he wants him to be a nail in King Yan's side.
When his son was killed, even the Lin Sect Master, who was in the rivers and lakes, could no longer remain calm, and when the time came, King Yan would have to fight to the death with the Demon Sect, otherwise, with the power of one person, this Lin Chongming would not be able to take revenge for the rest of his life.
After the compensation for King Yan, the money can be more, and King Yan's command must no longer have such a number of soldiers and horses, and it will take more thought to control Shuntian Steel.
At this point, without military power, the Yanwang Mansion is not at the mercy of others, as for the northern border, there are naturally other heroic and warlike veterans guarding it.
Following Lu Yan's recital, the emperor thought about it divergently, if everything goes well, the time to cut the Yan King will come, but there is no latest report yet, and the result is still unknown.
