Chapter 22 Let him cover it up heavily

Moonlit night, quiet Chang'an. The lights in the city have long been extinguished. Only the majestic palace complex in the north of the city is still lit up and the voices of people are endless. This is the royal palace where the son lives today.

The palace under the night is immersed in the bright and clear light, and the cornices, the palace roof, the lacquer pillars, and the carved railings all flow out of a layer of silver, and the brilliance is charming. The heavy buildings and palaces are layered on top of each other, looming, as if extending to the edge of the vast starry sky, although it has lost a little of the grandeur of the day, but it has added a bit of softness.

The moon is in the middle of the sky. The palace was still brightly lit, but there was not a sound to be heard, and all the people were afraid that they would be shocked by the good dreams of the present.

The moon hangs high at night, and the stars are like a brocade. The soft night light sprinkled through the roof of the glazed hall of the Hanging Jade Palace, leaving speckled light and shadow on the white jade ground.

On the white marble ground of the Hanging Jade Hall according to the direction of the Nine Palaces, there are eight whirling and coiling waterways, and the ivory bed in the middle of the main hall is guarded. The underground spring enters the temple from the northwest, circles around the ivory bed for a week, and then quietly exits the temple due south. The four corners of the main hall each stand a bronze beast tripod, the Bitan agarwood burning in the tripod has the effect of relieving the heat and repelling mosquitoes.

Although the weather is extremely hot and humid this night, it is cool in this hanging jade hall, and there is no suffering from mosquitoes in the summer heat.

On the side of the ivory bed lay a man, with a slight sound, who was asleep.

With the sound of small footsteps, a young chamberlain walked along the white jade path, knelt down at the entrance of the hall, and after hesitating for a moment, Fang whispered, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

On this ivory bed, the one lying on the ground is the son of heaven, the Ming Emperor Longji!

Emperor Ming snorted impatiently, turned over, and fell asleep again. The chamberlain had already broken out in a cold sweat, but although he was young, he was quite timid, and he had the courage to call: "Your Majesty......"

Emperor Ming woke up suddenly, furious, and shouted: "Who is noisy, disturbing my dreams!"

At the moment of Tianwei, the inner attendant was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, touched the ground with a sound, and said while kowtowing: "Emperor Bing, Sun Zhenren, the master of the Xuanguo Kingdom, has a very urgent matter to see!"

Emperor Ming stretched his waist, turned over and sat up, finally came to his senses, and said, "Sun Zhenren, what is the important thing to do so late?

A moment later, Emperor Ming had already put on his clothes and got up, and sat in the Yichen Palace. The attendant brought in a Taoist priest with a baby-like face from outside the hall and retreated to the side to wait.

This Taoist priest was born white and fat, with a pair of fine eyes and five long beards, just like an ordinary middle-aged Taoist. If it weren't for the white, red, blown face, I really couldn't see anything strange.

After entering the hall, he did not bow, but just bowed to the Ming Emperor and sat in the chair on one side. The chamberlain was not surprised by the rudeness of this Taoist priest. Emperor Ming is good, the world knows, in this Sun Guoshi is extremely courteous, not only respected as a national teacher, but also half a disciple ceremony. Sun Zhenren can enter the temple without worshipping, and there is a seat for deliberations, which shows the glory of holy grace.

Sun Zhenren had a sad face at the moment, and after sitting down, he bowed his hand to Emperor Ming and said: "Holy Lord, recently, the ministers have watched the sky at night, and saw that the stars of the Central Plains have changed, the yin and yang are hanging upside down, and the filth is soaring to the sky, and the Lord Luoyang has a catastrophe born. Thirty-five days ago, Luoyang was still the spirit of the Yellow Dragon, the main saint was born, and the gods appeared, but the auspicious signs of these days have all turned into a catastrophe. I couldn't figure it out, and I have been concentrating on calculating until today, when the filthy gas of Huangquan appears, and I have gained something. This matter is very urgent, and it is to worship in the starry night, hoping that the saint will calm his anger. ”

Emperor Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sun Zhenren has a glimpse of the heavens and helps me to win the fortune of the country, why am I angry? Luoyang is considered to be a disaster, and if there is a real person to protect the country, it must be able to dissolve into invisibility." ”

Sun Zhenren's face was even more worried, he first sighed, and then stopped, as if he was in a dilemma.

Emperor Ming said: "Real people have something, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!"

Sun Zhenren sighed: "Thirty-six is the number of Tiangang, and the Yellow Dragon auspicious omen has been reincarnated for a week but turned into a Huangquan robbery...... Alas, originally Luoyang's evil omen lord a demon of Huangquan was born, this catastrophe should make one party miserable, and natural disasters in the Central Plains are still frequent, but it is not irresolvable, and it is also unhindered in the fortune of the holy country. But this catastrophe was born by the Yellow Dragon rushing into the sky, and I calculated it, but it was a different matter...... I really don't know whether to talk about this. ”

Emperor Ming saw that Sun Zhenren said seriously, his face became solemn, and said, "Real people don't have to worry!"

Sun Zhenren nodded and said: "Daji has been turned into a great tribulation through the reincarnation of Zhoutian, but there is a yellow dragon qi appearing, this kind of sign, the world is in turmoil, and within twelve years, Luoyang will become the imperial capital!"

With a snap, the tea bowl in the hand of Emperor Ming fell to the ground and shattered!

The waiter hurriedly knelt on the ground, saw that the tea bowl was broken, hesitated, and finally knelt behind the Ming Emperor's chair, cleaned up the broken porcelain, and then withdrew from the palace.

Emperor Ming stood up and paced around the hall, restless. He suddenly stood still, a pair of phoenix eyes overflowed, staring at Sun Zhenren. Sun Zhenren also stood up, met Emperor Ming's gaze, and nodded slowly.

Emperor Ming's expression was solemn, knowing that Sun Zhenren meant that his own calculations were correct. He pondered for a moment and said, "If this is the case, what do you think of the relocation of the capital to Luoyang?"

Sun Zhenren immediately shook his head and said: "Absolutely not! Your Majesty has been prosperous in the world for 20 years, and it has been integrated with the luck of heaven and earth. If you leave Chang'an for a long time, there will be a big disaster!"

"Then what should I do!" Emperor Ming shouted angrily. After he drank it, Fang Jue relieved some depression in his chest, suddenly remembered something, and frowned: "What does the real person mean, Ang Li?"

Sun Zhenren's expression did not change at all, and he said slowly: "Shouwang Fierce Star is in his life, and he has the appearance of a hero." He is resolute and daring, unscrupulous, and according to the calculation of the poor road, King Shou's palace is stained with blood, which may be related to the violent death of King Yu. ”

"Stop!" Emperor Ming was angry again, and walked around the hall, saying as he went: "My nephew is smart, good-natured, and loyal, and he is a blood relative to me, how can he do such a great rebellion? Not to mention that even if he wants to rebel, how many military horses in a small Henan Province belong to him, how can he be the enemy of my hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops?

Sun Zhenren still said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is related to the great fortune of the country and the safety of Your Majesty, and you must not take it lightly. Poor Dao heard that King Shou has received a lot of monks with great backgrounds in recent years, and his mind is far more than just longevity and longevity. ”

Emperor Ming went around the hall dozens of times before he dissipated his anger and frowned and pondered. Sun Zhenren was very anxious when he asked to see him, but he was not in a hurry at this time, just stood aside, waiting for Emperor Ming's decision.

Emperor Ming finally stood up in the heart of the palace, and said in a deep voice: "Someone!"

The young chamberlain outside the hall immediately entered the hall when he heard the sound and stood aside.

Emperor Ming said in a deep voice: "Spread my secret decree, and Yang Guozhong of Xiangguo immediately secretly checked King Shou to see if there is anything inappropriate." ”

The attendant was busy preparing pen and ink, recording the will of the Ming Emperor, and holding his hands high above his head for the Ming Emperor to see. Emperor Ming swept it at a glance and saw that there was nothing wrong, so he took the private seal cover from his waist and said to Sun Zhenren: "Since it is without further ado, I also ask the real person to exert his magical powers and send this decree into the hands of Guozhong." ”

Sun Zhenren sighed secretly, took the secret decree from the hands of the inner servant, and said: "At this moment, Luoyang is full of filthy air, isolated from inside and outside, the siege of the city has been completed, and the ordinary Taoist method is no longer enough. However, His Majesty can rest assured, Poor Dao will leave for Luoyang and personally send the secret edict into the hands of Yang Xiang. ”

Emperor Ming said happily: "If there is a real person going, I can rest assured." ”

Sun Zhenren saluted again, and then went out of the palace.

Emperor Ming's face was gloomy, obviously still depressed in his heart. He paced for a long time, but he was not in a good mood, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he sighed. He swept his gaze, and suddenly saw that the chamberlain was still kneeling outside the hall and waiting, looking clear and beautiful, and he was very talented. Emperor Ming remembered the purpose of his ghostwriting just now, the words were silver hooks and iron strokes, strong and powerful, but it was a rare good hand, and others were also well-behaved, so he asked: "What is your name?"

The servant was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said, "The slave's surname is Li, and his name is Fuguo." Now follow Gao Gonggong's work. ”

Emperor Ming nodded and said, "Well, it's good, you have to work hard in the future." Spread my will, now drive, go to Huaqing Pool. ”

Not far west of the palace, stands a magnificent Taoist temple. Although this Taoist temple does not occupy a wide area, the buildings are towering, and the halls are towering, which is not comparable to ordinary Taoist temples. Take a closer look, this view is bright and beautiful, the eaves are new, and it is obvious that it has not been completed for a few years. Look at the plaque of the mountain gate, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters "True Martial Arts". This Zhenwu Temple was built by the order of the Ming Emperor, and it was built only five years ago, and it was thought to be a Taoist temple dedicated to Sun Zhenren.

The pattern of the True Martial Arts Temple is not much different from that of the ordinary Taoist Temple. There are four mountain gate pillars erected in front of the mountain gate, and the pillars are painted with immortal beasts, which are exquisite and detailed, lifelike. The mountain gate is facing the main hall of the three Qing halls, and there is a side hall next to the main hall. There were several small halls after that. Each hall has a cloister, which folds forward and communicates with each other. However, because it is a royal edict, every brick and tile is a rare thing, and it is not comparable to ordinary Taoist temples.

At this time, in the dead of night, the thirty guards escorted Sun Zhenren's car all the way to the gate of the True Martial Temple. Sun Zhenren got off the car slowly, waved the dust, the guards and iron horses spread out to both sides, the main hall of the Zhenwu Temple was brightly lit, and sixteen Taoist priests came out, greeted Sun Zhenren, and slowly entered the hall.

In the main hall, the four Taoist priests were already standing there, each holding a jade plate in their hands, on which were placed the magic robes, Taoist shoes, fairy swords and jade talismans. Sun Zhenren changed his clothes under the service of his disciples, and after a while, he finished dressing, and instructed a disciple beside him: "Send someone to report to Sima Tianshi, saying that Luoyang has a monster in the world this time, and it is likely that there will be a divine object accompanying it." I went ahead and asked him to answer later. ”

The disciple said: "Luoyang is dangerous, master should bring his disciples on this trip." ”

Sun Zhenren glanced at the disciple, heyed, and said: "Luoyang is already besieging the city, I want to break through the siege this time, you are not good enough, you will only die in vain if you go." ”

The disciple's face was ashamed, and he didn't dare to say more.

Sun Zhenren chanted the true mantra, and then shouted, a dragon groan was choked behind his back, and the fairy sword was released, unsheathed by itself, and floated in the air. He volleyed into the air, stepped on the fairy sword, and disappeared into the vast night sky in an instant.

The main hall of Luoyang Wangfu is brightly lit, with light singing and dancing, and the sound of swallows and warblers, which is a scene of singing and dancing.

In fact, at this time, there was still a round of scorching sun hanging high in the sky of Luoyang, and there was no need to light lamps in the hall at all, but people were used to it, and hundreds of red candles were still burning.

In the center of the main hall sits Li An, the king of Luoyang, regardless of his status and title, he is respected in the hall at this moment, so he has to sit in the middle seat. On the left side of Li An's head sat Yang Guozhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, and on the right side sat a eunuch, with a high hat on his head, tall and tall, born white and clean, and extremely well maintained. Although his clothes are not high, he also has to be ranked next to the two hot magnates of the dynasty, sitting like Mount Tai, without any restraint.

Dozens of dancing girls in the hall are wearing only a light veil, naked as white as jade, delicate and beautiful lotus feet, are dancing from Manman, pink arms and snow legs flickering, for a time it is really infinite spring. They flutter to the soft music, their smooth skin shines with a moving light, and the uneven curves swing with the waist posture. Whether it's looking back, pausing your feet, twisting your waist, or swinging your hips, every action is dizzying and bloody.

However, it was supposed to be a night banquet for everyone, but almost everyone was sad. Whether it is a musician, a dancer, or a maid serving food and pouring wine, it is all like this, but the three people sitting in the hall have happy faces, as if they have not seen the difference outside the hall.

Yang Guozhong looked at the faces of the dancing girls one by one with great interest, and exclaimed: "Lord Wang, this is really a peaceful and prosperous world!"

Li An laughed and said, "Doesn't this all depend on Yang Xiang's support in the DPRK?"

Yang Guozhong said with a smile: "Where is the prince's words! Guozhong is just a cloth cloth, how can it compare to the bloodline of the prince's son of heaven, and the grand plan is rough? Not to mention that Guozhong has to have today, and it is all thanks to the support of the prince and Gao Gonggong, drinking water and thinking of the source, Guozhong does not dare or forget. ”

The eunuch said softly: "Xiangguo has been promoted! Our family will have to be supported by Xiangguo in the future!"

This eunuch, that is, the powerful eunuch of this dynasty, is deeply favored by the Ming Emperor, and his power is also hot.

For a while, the three of them praised each other, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and they didn't take the robbery outside the palace seriously. After a while, Li An laughed in a low voice: "Yang Xiang looks at these singers in the Little Wang's Mansion, can you still look at them?"

Yang Guozhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help nodding and said: "The prince chose it, then it needs to be said, it must be good!"

Li An smiled and said in a low voice: "It's rare that Yang Xiang is satisfied, and after a while, Xiao Wang will let them all go to Yang Xiang's residence and let Yang Xiang choose." ”

Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up, and he smiled a little murderously, and said: "Since the prince has a heart, then Guozhong is disrespectful!haha!"

Gao Lishi on the side also laughed, but he laughed a little awkwardly. Ang Lee naturally knew how to make him happy when he talked about women in front of Colliers? It's just that Ang Lee has prepared a heavy gift, so he doesn't have to worry about his dissatisfaction.

At that moment, Li An waved his hand, and all the dancing maids and waiters quietly retreated, and for a while, only the three powerful people of the dynasty were left in the main hall.

Yang Guozhong's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "Lord Wang, this big change in Luoyang, everyone is caught off guard. Fortunately, before this trip, Master Nangong gave him a Baruiding military vehicle, which was parked in the palace, and whether it was auspicious or robbed, it could not be invaded within the car of 36 zhang. But this is only a temporary expedient measure, and it cannot be long-term. Luoyang, the eastern capital, is the prince. After the saint learned about this, once he was angry, the prince would be the first to bear the brunt, so he had to think about it in the long run. ”

Li An hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang is also deeply worried about this matter, and everything has to rely on the guidance of Yang Xiang and Gao Gonggong." ”

Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi looked at each other, coughed, and said solemnly: "I heard that there are quite a few monks in the palace of Prince Li, and the courtiers have criticized a lot about this matter, and Sun Guosun Zhenren has been waiting for an opportunity to make a big fuss about this matter. The Luoyang Tribulation was originally a matter of immortals and demons, and it had little to do with people in the world like us, and it was not something that we and others could do. Since there are many capable people around the prince, you might as well blame them for all the causes of this great change, so that no matter what, you can be regarded as having an explanation in front of the saint. ”

Li An pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I understand what Yang Xiang means." There are two guests in this king's mansion, who are from the Daode Sect of Xuanshan Mountain in the west of the world. I heard that this Daode Sect is one of the most famous monastic sects in the world......"

Yang Guozhong smiled lightly and said, "The prince is really wise! If the two of them can fight and lose both, then of course it is the best." If you can't, you can just borrow the hand of the Daode Sect to get rid of the true martial arts lineage. ”
