Chapter 40 Festivals
"What does the matter between the Cao family have to do with Xianjun Lin?" Xu Xian asked strangely.
"It doesn't matter. People outside don't think so. After you left, the three of them shot and killed two zombies and didn't want to tell the government clearly. They saw that the officers and soldiers were about to arrive and left. But there was still a zombie that had not been burned before they could burn it. The officers and soldiers hunted it and sacrificed two soldiers and a yamen runner. Brother, it would be fine if these evil creatures appeared elsewhere, but this was at the foot of the emperor. This incident immediately caused a sensation."
"It's not bad."
"In order to protect you, Lord Cao did not ask you to go, but said that he saw a sneaky appearance. You saw that you were injustice and used a knife to help. Later, the three of them were even more so. But the noise that night was too loud, and Vajra and that strange flame appeared in the air."
"That Vajra is a powerful soul traveling at night."
"Yes, I know, but how many people understand? There are countless talented people in the capital who can perform, but who can indulge them in the capital to fight, and they are also officials of the court. This is the main reason why the Crown Prince impeached the Immortal Lord Lin."
"I still don't understand that this kind of soul-cultivation technique is not only Taoism, but also the Buddhist family. The Vajra that appeared that day was the King of Guangmu of the Buddhist family."
"Although the Shi family has it, the Shi family is not favored. So how dare you?"
"It's OK...but I still don't understand. Hasn't Cai Jing always had a good relationship with Lin Xianjun?"
"Where, because you have a good relationship with my cousin, I will tell you the inside story. Lin Xianjun came to the capital because of Xianggong Cai. But he did not ask him to pay homage to the emperor, but arranged him to Taiyi East Palace. His intention was not to recommend the Xianjun, but to help him create the Nine Cauldrons."
"Nine Dings?"
"The Lord is dedicated to the Tao, but for more than a hundred years, I have never heard of anyone breaking the void and ascending to the fairy world. Therefore, Xianggong Cai gathered the powerful alchemists in the world and used the Qi veins of the Song Dynasty to refine the nine tripods. One is to consolidate the rule of the Song Dynasty to protect the Song Dynasty for thousands of years, and the other is to help the Lord go to the fairy world... I don't know what's specific. So Xianggong Cai brought the Immortal Lord from Sichuan to the capital."
"Qizhi...Nine Cauldrons..." Xu Xian seemed to have thought of something, but he still couldn't understand it again.
"Originally, the Immortal Lord and the Master have no interaction, but good materials will come out over time. The Master is lucky to Taiyi East Palace. He saw a Shenxiao Song and was very happy to see the wonderful words of the gods. He asked who Xu Zhichang who wrote the Taoist record. Xu Zhichang then led the Immortal Lord and the Master to see it, and there was a green bull speech, which soon became effective. In order to promote the Taoist sect, the Immortal Lord recruited disciples and was favored by the emperor, he established Taoism and appointed his children and doctors ten, including me, and he also obtained a Chengjie Lang."
Don’t take this official position seriously. From the last official position of the ninth rank, it is still a false position, but you can enjoy some treatment from state officials.
"Although the Immortal Lord is favored, he is still cautious, but the emperor is becoming more and more favored. Although the Immortal Lord does not want it, power will follow. Therefore, some people call the Immortal Lord a secret prime minister. So Cao Gong repeatedly framed the Immortal Lord secretly. When the capital was in full swing, the Emperor asked the Immortal Lord to pray for rain, but did not respond. Cai Gong reported that the Immortal Lord had to force his attack, and the Emperor had to take action, and the Immortal Lord had to forcefully take action, and the Huang mud rain was raining heavily, and he couldn't stand some of the actions of Cai Gong. He was at the banquet hall of Taiqing Tower and caught a glimpse of the Yuanyou traitor party monument listing Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, Qin Guan and others. He bowed his head and bowed. The Emperor asked him strangely. The Immortal Lord said that the people on this monument were all stars in the sky and wrote a poem. Su Huang did not make an article guest, and Tong Cai became a minister of the country. The three sites have no conclusions in the past year, and I don't know who the traitor was."
But Xu Xian's view on this is very objective. Su Huangqin and the other two have outstanding articles. However, when it comes to being officials, compared with Wang Anshi and others, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and may not be stronger than Wang Anshi. I can only say that it is stronger than Sima Guang, who has a strong selfish heart, but is Sima Guang's article worse?
His views on Tong Guan and Xu Xian were also very objective. It is not necessarily known that Lin Lingsu said that he was Su Dongpo’s book boy. Tong Guancai was truly born under the Su family, and later he entered the palace and became a eunuch before he gradually became favored. However, this person made great achievements in the northwest battlefield.
As for Cai Jing, it is worse than Sima Guang. If you look for advantages, you can only say that he writes well, and nothing else is useless.
Lin Lingsu cannot say that he is a good person. In order to promote the Taoist sect and build a large number of constructions, the money comes from the people's wealth and wealth. Not to mention outside, even in the capital, many people's lives are getting worse and worse.
The words come from Chen Ling's mouth, and they can be more likely to be gilded with Linling Supplement.
"The next day, the emperor's poem was told by the emperor, and the emperor was ashamed of his own, begging for his own leave. The emperor did not make the right decision. Since then, the contradictions intensified. The emperor has a huge power. The immortal king does not want to harm others, nor does he want to be harmed. He built a secret room in the Shenxiao Palace with two windows, front door and back walls, which are very strong. The emperor is suspected that the Nine Cauldrons are just now and there is no need for Xianjun Lin anymore. He sent a secret agent in the eight-chamber, and he would block the secret room when he saw that his secret room was out and no one was allowed to enter. Even if the emperor arrived, he would not lead the room. From the gap between the eight-chamber, there was a yellow tent, which was sold with golden dragon beds and vermilion red chairs and tables. He reported to the emperor. The emperor immediately came to the Shenxiao Palace to question, and the immortal king led the door into the room, opened the lock, and only saw two pink walls, bright windows and two chairs and tables. He also reported to the emperor that in order to prevent someone from harming him, the emperor was extremely frightened and kowtowed to apologize."
In fact, the Lin Cai dispute also had the promotion of powerful ministers such as Wang Fu and a few Qing ministers. Zhao Ji himself wanted to use the technique of balance, but it was not something Chen Ling could know.
"Why did the crown prince make enemies with the immortal king?"
"Brother, the crown prince was born to Empress Wang. Empress Wang was not favored by the emperor during her lifetime. She died for many years. Although the crown prince is noble, she is actually not favored by the emperor. On the contrary, the more he takes the title of the crown prince, the more dangerous it is. Now his position as the crown prince is in danger. If Mr. Cai helps him, would he be happy? Furthermore, the immortal king once said that Concubine Liu was the reincarnation of Concubine An of Jiuhua Yuzhen. She was originally the daughter of Concubine Liu Zongbao, the capital bartender, and after entering the palace, she was the maid of Concubine Liu. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by Concubine Liu. The next year she was promoted to Concubine Mingjie and Concubine Wen, and now she has several children. Once Concubine Liu has a stable position and her favor will remain strong, and she is only 30 years old this year, and the priest is also in the prime of Spring and Autumn Period. How can the crown prince handle himself ten years later?"
Xu Xian completely understood.
But it is still not that simple. Cai Jing would not really help the crown prince stupidly. This is the biggest taboo position of powerful officials. Whoever touches him will die. It is just that the crown prince is stupid and was fooled by Cai Jing as a gun.
"If you had asked me before, I could do it calmly. At this critical moment, how dare I ask the Immortal Lord?"
Xu Xian smiled bitterly. He used to look for him, but before he only had ten taels of gold on him. Will two hundred guan coins make you moved?
"Brother Xu, if you want to ask about Chunyang Dan, you have to wait."
"It's okay, please give Master Chen a chance."
Chen Ling said the past and left worriedly.
The key is to fight the Temple of Concentration. If Lin Lingsu wins the Holy Pet, he will still be there. If he loses, the Nine Cauldrons will be cast, and Lin Lingsu will be driven out of the capital. This has little impact on Li Zhong and the others, and although he has no benefit, it has little impact on Chen Ling and other personal disciples. Even if Cai Jing wants to vent his anger, he can arrest them and imprison them.
Xu Xian hoped that Lin Lingsu would fail.
If you lose, you will lose your power, so you will have more opportunities to approach and even beg him to refine elixirs for you. Instead of now, it is impossible to even get close to you.
However, Li Zhong was also a little uneasy.
This manager is comfortable to do. He can get some salary every month, sell herbs in private and earn some extra money. Lin Lingsu lost power, so where can he find such a good thing?
He looked at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian said: "Manager Li, don't worry, you have to believe the skills of the Immortal Lord."
"Why is it so big?"
"It's not that it's so big, but because the two sides have deep grudges, even a spark can ignite a prairie fire. Their fight has nothing to do with us, even if it's Lord Cao, it's nothing to do with him."
...
On the banks of the Caishui River, it is still lively. To the north is the Tokyo Night Market. From dark to the fifth week, the lights are bright and bright as daytime, and there are many pedestrians. It gradually dissipates until the fifth week. However, even further south of the night market, although there are countless shops and restaurants, the level here has decreased compared to the commercial area around Xiangguo Temple.
There were even a group of gangsters on the street fighting on the Caishui River.
Just in a restaurant by the river, the two of them put their wine.
The two of them were talking softly.
At this time, two women walked up, with graceful figures. However, in order not to attract attention, they were all wearing thick silk like Qin Su'er.
When he walked to the table of the two, the woman in front said, "I heard that General Han is going to the northwest. I came here to welcome him, wishing General Han another great achievements."
"I am just an eighth-rank deputy lieutenant. Madam Cui must not use the title of general in the future."
"But in my heart, General Han has long been a general."
With his military merits, not to mention the eighth-rank rank, the fifth-rank rank was given a real title long ago, but his contributions were too great to believe, so Tong Guan had to be promoted one level after another.
"I will sing a song to see you off for General Han."
The maid behind put down Yaoqin. There were women singing in every restaurant in the Song Dynasty. However, the higher the restaurant level, the more outstanding the appearance of the women coming. Everyone is familiar with it, and few people pay attention.
The woman sang: "In the frost, autumn morning, purple blocks are in the old tide, and yellow clouds are in decline.
The Han horse neighs in the wind, the geese beside the moon, and the iron clothes on the Longshan are cold in the morning.
The sword song is tragic and heroic, and the words of your kindness must be repaid.
The joy of the subway is full of grace and the golden sect is young, Shanxi is young.
Talk and laugh. Be confusing and fighting, and beating, bringing peace and waste time.
The Holy Lord is worried about the border, his power is far away, and the arrogant enemy is still widespread in the sky.
The years are blooming and the night is sad, who thinks about the old man in Yuguan?
It’s peace and joy, don’t cherish the golden cup falling frequently.”
The northwest is very bitter. Cai Ting's passionate and majestic song "Xi Qian Ying" is sung by a woman's voice. It feels a different feeling when he hears the Duwei of Han.
The restaurant was also silent.
Although I can't see her appearance, I may hear her voice, her singing voice is crisp and penetrated into the sky, which is definitely not something that the vulgar fans used to sing.
Suddenly, there was a loud roar outside: "Who dares to capture me? I am a child of Shenxiaoguan."
