"It's just that I and a few others haven't seen the true body of Lingyun Daoren, how did Brother Dao know about it?" Qing Zhenren asked Qinghua Zhenren.

Qinghua Zhenren said: "This is a heavenly opportunity, and it is not good to share it with my junior brother." But since the two junior brothers know, only the three of us know, it's not enough for outsiders!"

The two of them naturally know the severity, if this matter is said, it will not be good for themselves, but it will be a lot of unnecessary trouble, and they both said at the moment: "Don't worry, the two of us will definitely keep their mouths shut!"

Qinghua Zhenren nodded and sat down.

The two elders then took their leave.

Qinghua Zhenren sat on the couch, closed his eyes and sat silently for a moment, but his mind recalled the events of three nights.

It turned out that night, Qinghua Zhenren was in a dream, and suddenly it was time for him to have a dream.

I saw a white-haired old man in a gossip suit, carrying a dust, and appeared in a dream.

Qinghua Zhenren took a closer look, but it was very similar to the golden body enshrined in the Taiqing Hall on the Sword Casting Peak, knowing that it was the ancestor Taishang Laojun, he hurriedly bowed down.

Taishang Laojun just said lightly: "You don't have to panic, I have a word, I am here to divide the teaching, you can listen to it." ”

Qinghua Zhenren hurriedly bowed again: "Patriarch, please command, disciples must keep it in mind!"

Taishang Laojun passed down the verses at that time, and at the end he instructed: "That Taoist, you should do something in the future, and you also have some fate with Shushan, and the disciples of Shushan should also know how to cultivate themselves and cultivate their spirits, so that there can be no disasters and no disasters, you must not be lazy." ”

Qinghua Zhenren hurriedly said: "Disciple remember, never dare to slack off!"

He still has to ask about the root, and Taishang Laojun has already hidden.

Qinghua Zhenren woke up without any abnormality, but he remembered Taishang Laojun's words, and hurriedly calculated, but he couldn't figure out the root cause.

He also wondered in his heart, he had already become the body of Da Luo Jin Immortal, the Heavenly Heart of the upper body, it stands to reason that there should be no dream, and a dream is an omen.

But the Taishang Sect Master is a saint of the Three Realms, how could he easily enter his dream, but when this Taoist appeared, he let himself get the Taiqing Divine Rune, so he was suspicious, and he couldn't figure out why, so he had to secretly observe the progress of things.

Until today, he believed in the affairs of the Taiqing Palace, and after thinking about it, he knew Wukong's identity.

"This person used to be a scourge, but now he has to come down to the sect master to say it, it is really a good chance, but it is good, whether it is a friend or an enemy, and there is no hindrance. Qinghua Zhenren said secretly in his heart.

He naturally has no worries in his heart, after all, he helped Wukong, he also got the magic weapon, and there are disciples to ignite Li Shimin, as long as the emperor is included in the door, and there is the Taiqing Divine Rune to control the mountain gate, then the luck of Shu Mountain will inevitably be prosperous, and the status of the human world will be improved.

Moreover, he saved the other party and befriended the monkey Monkey King, and if something happens in Shushan in the future, he will not be able to stand by and watch, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

Ren is Wukong would never have dreamed that he had managed to conceal his identity, and he had tried his best to save his life for a while, but in the hands of the saint, it was still worthless, and he revealed his true body in a word.

Wukong was in the bamboo forest, condensed the six reincarnation flags overnight, and when it was dawn, he collected the magic weapon, and walked back to the Lingyun Pavilion by stepping on the clouds, and fell asleep, not mentioning.

Let's say that in the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, since the last time Wukong had a dispute with Patriarch Bodhidharma and others, several palaces were destroyed into ruins, and several people such as Cheng Biting Jin and Yu Chigong personally arranged for rebuilding in the city, and they were busy for more than half a month, and they were finally restored, and they were built more magnificent than before.

Li Shimin was naturally happy in his heart, and he was not an emperor, he was just waiting for the cultivation of immortals, and he would not be old in life.

passed the throne to his most proud son, Prince Li Zhi, who was over twenty years old, and he sat on the throne of the emperor peacefully and enjoyed the blessings.

The ministers knew that this matter was a sure thing, so they had nothing to say.

Half a month after Li Zhi ascended the throne, he changed the name of the country to "Xianqing", and the whole country celebrated at that time.

Li Zhi is also a great talent, knowing that the way to govern the country lies in loving the people, winning the throne, he did not dare to slack off at all, emulated his father, implemented benevolent government, observed the hearts of the people, and did everything for the people, from the civil and military officials to the people of Li, a peaceful scene, but no one was unconvinced.

On this day, Li Shimin had breakfast with Li Zhi, and Li Zhi wore a dragon robe and gold clothes and went to the court.

Li Shimin sat down in the apse and looked through a volume of "The Book of Saving People", with a happy face.

It was past noon, and Li Zhisan turned back to the apse, but his face was a little ugly.

When Li Shimin saw this, he asked: "Zhi'er, what's wrong, the court is not going well, why are you bothered?"

Li Zhi sat down a little annoyed, and said to Li Shimin: "Father doesn't know, above the court today, the child listens to Huang Jinzhong's performance in that class, the small country in the Western Regions, the Hu people are in charge, and they are a little impatient, and they seem to have ambitions, so they are a little troubled." ”

"Hu people from the Western Regions?" Li Shimin wondered.

The Western Regions is a thriving place for Buddhism, called "Hu people" by the Central Plains, it is a small country under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, since it was included in the Tang Dynasty, it was originally nothing, when Li Zhi was the prince, he also heard that there was turmoil in the Western Regions, and he only thought it was a trivial matter, but it seemed to be recent and restless.

In particular, when he received a tip, he knew that there were still many Buddhist soldiers stationed near the city of Ziluo Country, and he had contacted many small foreign countries, and his power had become a large force, so he gradually became disobedient, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers were strong, so he did not dare to make a big show.

Li Zhi originally wanted to send troops to exterminate him, but several ministers dissuaded him, and even Wei Zheng met him, so he was dissuaded.

Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin was puzzled, so he said: "Now that Ziluo City has a rebellion, the child intends to send troops to the west, so as to deter the people on that side and kill the momentum of the Buddha Gate, so as not to make it bigger and difficult to clean up, does my father think it is feasible?"

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and said, "This is the best, but don't be too loud, so as not to make the people uneasy." ”

Li Zhi nodded yes, nothing happened at the moment.

The two fathers and sons sat down on both sides, asked the palace maid to hold the chess game, and worshipped, Li Shimin said: "My son is in an impetuous mood today, why don't you play a game of chess with your father, so as to nourish your spirit and calm your mind?"

Li Zhi was overjoyed, and the two were playing against each other at the moment, and the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo sounded in his ears, so he was at ease.

As the saying goes, there is no father and son on the chessboard, and the father and son soldiers are used in battle.

After playing the game for a while, I saw the situation.

Li Shimin was calm in his heart, and Li Zhi's mind gradually let go, but after all, he was young and vigorous, and he was not as calm as Li Shimin, and it didn't take long for him to distinguish between superior and inferior.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Does Zhi'er know who is the king, and who is the people?"

Li Zhidao: "My father once said that the monarch is the boat that carries people, and the people are the water that carries the boat. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. ”

Li Shimin pinched one, put it on the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." But you have to remember that it is easiest for those who rule the world to win the world, followed by winning the hearts of the people, and the most difficult thing is to keep the hearts of the people!"

Li Zhi was puzzled and asked, "What is the will of the people?"

Li Shimin said: "This is also the way to govern the country. The people are like horses, and the world is like horses. And the one who rules the world, standing high and facing the world, is like sitting on a horse, only slowly, step by step, not impatient, let alone whipped with a horsewhip, otherwise, the horse will be injured, and the heart will not be lost, and the same is true of marching and fighting, the heart is peaceful, and impatience must not be impatient. ”

Li Zhinai is a delicate person, and as soon as he heard this and figured out the sound outside the strings, he already understood the deep meaning.

At that moment, he said: "Father rest assured, the child knows." ”

Li Shimin smiled, took another son, and put it in the position of Tianyuan on the chessboard.

Before he could say more, a soldier came in and knelt on the ground to report: "Long live Lord Qiyu, Your Majesty the Emperor Taishang, three people suddenly descended from the sky, each dressed in Taoist clothes, saying that the disciples sent by Shushan have come to the palace and want to see His Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "The Taoist priests of the Shushan Sect, how did they come here?

"Back to Your Majesty, the three of them just said that they had promised the Emperor Taishang, and today they were specially ordered by the master to come down to meet with the Emperor Taishang, so they can talk about it. The soldier hurried to report.

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and quickly stood up.

Li Zhi was about to ask, but Li Shimin smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's here, just about to come!"

After that, he said to the soldiers, "Go down and ask someone to entertain those three Taoists, and I will arrive later." ”

When the soldier went, Li Zhi said, "Does my father recognize that person?"

Li Shimin said: "I know that it was the Taoist priest who was in the temple that day, and you were also present at the time, but I don't know if it was him!

Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin was so excited, he thought about it carefully, but he knew.

In the past two months, he has changed from the crown prince to the emperor of the dynasty, and he has changed too much, but he forgot it for a while.

At that moment, both of them came out of the apse and met the three of them head-on.

These three people are Yuan Tiangang, **, and Zhao Ziqiu.

Then they all went to the imperial study, each sat down, Li Zhi drank the attendants, and the Zhao brothers and sisters reported their own numbers.

Li Shimin asked Yuan Tiangang, "Dao Chief, why don't you see Dao Leader Lingyun coming?"

Yuan Tiangang was unhappy, but he didn't dare to be rude, so he had to smile and say: "Daoist Lingyun, at this time, I am meeting with the elders in Shushan, and I have no time to come here, so I will come." ”

Li Zhi said: "Oh, why did the three of them come?"

Yuan Tiangang was just about to speak, and Ziqiu preemptively saluted Li Zhi and said: "Your Majesty, I waited down, but I was ordered by the master to come down to invite the Emperor Taishang to go to the mountain gate with us, and I have seen the ancestor of the head of the family, and after fulfilling the emperor's wish that day, I will become an immortal!"

When Li Zhi heard this, he was a little angry, his father was a long live body, where is there a reason to go to see others by himself, even the head of the immortal family, he should not have such a big breath.

frowned tightly and said: "My father is a long-lived body, how can I go with you, Ziqiu Daogu is only afraid that this is inappropriate!"

"You ......"

Ziqiu grew up in Shushan since she was a child, but she knew very little about secular etiquette, which angered the emperor.

She didn't care, she was reprimanded, her face was slightly red, but she was unhappy in her heart, and she wanted to fight back immediately, but she didn't know what to say.

was pulled by ** The corner of his clothes was pulled, and his eyes were made again and again, and then he stopped.

"The emperor forgives me, my sister is coming down the mountain for the first time, and she doesn't know etiquette, please don't be surprised!"

Li Zhi was silent, but Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled: "Hey! Ziqiu Daogu said the same, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang in person, and only after visiting the thatched house did he succeed, Zhuge Zhi's virtue should be learned, not to mention that it is to ask for immortals and ask, to seek the Tao, how to come to the door? It should be so, it should be so!"

Li Shimin's Taoist heart was determined early, he couldn't cultivate Buddhism back then, and he finally got a chance to become an immortal, no matter which ordinary man is dreamed of, Li Shimin will naturally not let it go.

Although Li Zhi was reluctant, he didn't want to disobey his intentions, and when he heard this, Li Zhi was naturally speechless.

After Yuan Tiangang was reprimanded by the head of the house, he also learned to be obedient, and immediately said to Li Shimin: "The Emperor, but do you want to cultivate immortals?" Li Shimin nodded: "This is natural." ”

Yuan Tiangang said again: "Then there is still a matter of red dust? Cultivators must seek the Tao wholeheartedly, and there are no unnecessary worries before they can float out of the dust, so please be cautious Your Majesty!"

After all, Yuan Tiangang has practiced for many years, although his heart has not been reached, but he has not forgotten the instructions of the master, this wants to explain the righteousness of the immortal way, so he naturally wants to speak by himself, and he can't let the junior disciples open his mouth, and watch the play by himself, right?

At the moment, Li Shimin was speechless, and everyone was silent.

Li Zhi summoned all the ministers, and Li Shimin ascended the Jinluan Palace to order things.

After staying with Yuan Tiangang and the three of them for a few days, Li Shimin went to talk to the people in the palace.

Only three days later, Li Shimin left the palace with the three of them.

Li Zhi, along with all the ministers and concubines, were in tears and sent straight out a hundred miles away, so they said goodbye.

Li Shimin followed everyone to step on the breeze and go towards Shushan.

Li Zhi and the others stood in place, watching Li Shimin wearing a red suit floating in the wind, being wrapped in clouds and mist, and his figure gradually drifting away.
