A forest garden in the palace.
There was a faint light burning in the pavilion, and Li Shimin was waiting there.
Phew~~
A breeze blew by, and Yuan Tiangang knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang, please see me."
"Get up, no need to be polite."
Li Shimin said calmly: "Yuan Tiangang, you have the ability to place the head. If you have anything you want, please tell me."
"This is what I should do, I don't dare to ask for anything."
Li Shimin smiled lightly, then took a deep breath and said:
"I have figured it out. You proposed to me before to establish a secret organization to clean up the chaotic parties. I refused because I didn't think too much."
"The locust plague now shows that there are many chaotic parties outside. Do you know what I mean?"
When Yuan Tiangang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He did ask Li Shimin for instructions to establish an organization to clean up some things that were apparently not allowed to be done.
But at that time, Li Shimin refused without even thinking.
Now he wants to establish it again. It seems that he still cares about reputation.
"I am willing to establish an organization for Your Majesty and the Tang Dynasty. I will not give up even if I die!"
"good!"
Uh-huh!
A token flew out from Li Shimin's hand, and Yuan Tiangang raised his hand to catch it.
This is a jade plaque made entirely of jade, with brocade patterns engraved around it and three characters engraved vertically in the center.
【Bad guy! 】
Behind the brand, there is a row of small characters engraved.
[Tiankuixing, Yuan Tiangang]
Then there are three big characters in the center.
【Bad handsome! 】
"Bad guy...Bad guy..."
Yuan Tiangang read softly.
Li Shimin said: "It's said that the bell continues the cloud, and the policemen are responsible for arresting crimes. Since everything they do is dirty and messy, it is bad." "
"I take the Thirty-six Tiangang as my rank, and order you to be the commander. You will personally organize the team and gather the other people from the Thirty-six Tiangang to work for me."
"I believe that with your ability, the person you find will definitely be extraordinary!"
"Thirty-six Tiangang..." Yuan Tiangang read in a daze.
Suddenly I remembered that during dinner today, Li Yunxiao once said that if an organization was to be established, it would be best to name it after the Thirty-Six Tiangang and the Seventy-two Disha.
And if something like this happens at night, is it possible that Li Yunxiao can also do divination and predict unforeseen events?
"Are you willing?"
Li Shimin called him back from his thoughts. Yuan Tiangang knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, bad commander Yuan Tiangang, take your orders!"
Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction, and then threw out another jade token.
The front of the sign still says "Bad Person"
Behind the brand, there is a row of small characters engraved.
[Di Kuixing, Li Yunxiao]
After that, there are three big characters in the center, which are also "Bad Handsome!" 】
"this...."
Yuan Tiangang looked up at Li Shimin with some confusion.
Li Shimin smiled lightly and said: "You are in the dark, and Li Yunxiao, I think he is a malleable talent, and he is your brother, so his strength must not be weak."
"I ordered him to search for the seventy-two evil spirits to complement you, one in the light and the other in the dark, to work for me!"
"Don't let outsiders know about this matter for the time being. After the locust plague is resolved, I will announce that he will become the bad commander of the Seventy-Two Earthly Evils. The people who are looking for him will all be school captains. They will see the first level of the official and see the commander's order. Such as I’m here in person!”
Yuan Tiangang was stunned!
The official position of a school lieutenant is not a big one, but if it is a rank higher than that of an official, what does that mean? Doesn't it mean that except the emperor and some special people, everyone should be afraid of his bad people?
How could Li Shimin give him such great power after just meeting him once? Just because the locust plague was solved?
Or is it entirely because of himself and Li Chunfeng?
Yuan Tiangang's guess was correct. Li Shimin really praised Li Yunxiao for the sake of the two of them.
In addition, Li Yunxiao's impression on him was somewhat unclear, and he always felt that the other party was not a mortal.
He trusts his instincts very much, and he would rather kill the wrong person than let go. He will never tolerate unknown things or people being out of his control.
Yuan Tiangang looked at Jade Commander and sighed.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order."
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Are you rejecting me?!"
Yuan Tiangang replied: "I don't dare. It's just that Brother Yunxiao doesn't like official affairs. If we force the arrangement, I'm afraid it won't meet His Majesty's expectations."
Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang calmly.
After a moment, he waved his hand.
"That's all, let's put this matter aside for now. Just keep this token. If Li Yunxiao wants to do something for me someday, there's no telling."
Yuan Tiangang thought for a moment, nodded, and put away the two jade tokens.
Later, Li Shimin invited Yuan Tiangang to take a seat.
"Yuan Tiangang, do you think there is anyone immortal in this world?"
Yuan Tiangang, who had just taken his seat, didn't know how to answer when he heard this question.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Tiangang said: "Heaven is born with water, and humans are the same as nature. The kidneys are the pivot of the North Pole. They feed on everything and nourish all the bones, relying on which they can live forever."
"It is possible to prolong life, but there is no such thing as immortality in this world."
Li Shimin sighed: "What a fine food for all things, nourishing all bones. This is Sun Simiao's method of maintaining health."
"Yuan Tiangang, it's so hard for you to hide this from me. You have such attainments in medical skills, why didn't you tell me?"
Yuan Tiangang replied: "Your Majesty didn't ask, how dare I show my embarrassment?"
Li Shimin shook his head helplessly, and then said: "If I can achieve immortality, who in the world can stop me!"
"Decades are too short. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to fulfill my long-cherished wish, to become an emperor through the ages, and to respect the Tang Dynasty for eternity."
"Yuan Tiangang, since you are proficient in medical skills, you must also be able to make medicine. Sun Simiao's immortality Gu can delay the aging of appearance. If appearance can be delayed, why can't age?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and replied: "I don't know."
"I don't know? It's possible if I don't know!"
"I order you to develop the elixir of immortality for me within twenty years!"
Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but raise his voice a bit and said: "Your Majesty, there is no immortality in this world."
"I know!"
"But what I want is to delay aging. Do you understand?"
As if he felt that his tone was too strong, Li Shimin stepped forward and put his hand on Yuan Tiangang's shoulder and said:
"What you do for me is for the people of the world, and it is for me, the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Tiangang, don't betray my trust in you!"
After Yuan Tiangang heard this, he no longer refused, stood up, took two steps back, and knelt on one knee.
"My lord! Take the order!"
"good!"
"Here comes someone!"
The eunuch came running quickly from a distance.
"Pass on my decree and notify all officials immediately! From today on, Yuan Tiangang will be my Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty! Keep the ceremony simple and let them send the gifts."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
After the eunuch left, Li Shimin looked at Yuan Tiangang with a smile: "Go and rest."
Yuan Tiangang saluted: "My lord, please retire!"
After watching Yuan Tiangang leave, Li Shimin snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
Immortality is so mysterious, he doesn't know that there is no immortality, but if he can find a way to slow down his aging, then he can do more things!
Yuan Tiangang walked slowly on the road.
National Preceptor is just a title, and strictly speaking it does not have a lot of power.
Usually, the Imperial Preceptor is very popular with the emperor and specializes in preaching mystical methods, divine power of destiny, immortality, etc.
Not only Li Shimin was like this, there were many imperial advisors among the emperors in the past dynasties.
And Yuan Tiangang was a little upset. Although he could spy on the direction and know the fortune telling, what he hated the most was destiny.
He has always believed that man can conquer nature, and the reason why he learned these things is to fight against the so-called fate.
That's why he and Li Chunfeng, a man who advocated acting in accordance with destiny, became brothers and quarreled with each other constantly.
Now that he has become a national master, he will study this elixir whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or Li Shimin.
"Ah."
With a slight snort, Yuan Tiangang shook his head helplessly.
"Eternal life...it's really ridiculous."
....
The next day.
At dawn, thousands of people gathered early at a high platform in Chang'an City.
In front of rows of civil and military officials, there were long tables.
On the high platform, an ordinary seat was placed on it, and there was also a small square table in front of it.
The officials all stood upright below, looking at the table in front of them, all a little confused.
They received a notice to dine with His Majesty, but they didn't know what they were going to eat. They wanted to find out, but found that everyone who knew was silent.
Next to Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and others asked in a low voice: "Yaojin, you look so excited, you must know what His Majesty wants us to eat, right?"
"Yes, yes, I know."
Cheng Yaojin took out the wine he brought from his pocket, put it on the table, and nodded in reply.
Hearing Cheng Yaojin say this, several people were relieved. This guy is a foodie, and if he thinks it's delicious, it won't be a big problem.
Li Yunxiao had dark circles under his eyes, looking like a zombie, standing close to the high platform with Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang.
He watched Li Chunfeng's Stargazing Art all night yesterday, and now his mind is filled with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Li Yunxiao's idea is very simple. Diligence can make up for clumsiness. Since he is not a genius and has little knowledge, he can make up for it with diligence.
Li Chunfeng looked at Li Yunxiao and secretly smiled twice, then looked at Yuan Tiangang and whispered: "What about Brother Yuan, did His Majesty ask you to establish an organization?"
Yuan Tiangang's dark eyes flashed slightly, then nodded and said: "That's right."
"Your Majesty asked me to form a group of bad guys, under the name Thirty-six Tiangang, to deal with some troublesome matters secretly."
At this point, Yuan Tiangang stopped talking. He hid Li Yunxiao's identity as a bad commander in the Seventy-Two Disasters.
When Li Chunfeng heard this, he smiled lightly and said: "Brother Yunxiao seems to know something. Didn't he mention the Thirty-Six Tiangang and the Seventy-two Earthly Evils last night?"
"That's right."
Li Chunfeng asked again: "Then since the thirty-six Tiangang guesses are correct, what about the seventy-two earth evil spirits?"
Yuan Tiangang said calmly: "There are no seventy-two evil spirits."
Li Chunfeng was startled for a moment, and then said with a half-smile: "Someone is really not suitable to lie, so he just has the words "I'm lying" printed on his face."
Yuan Tiangang sighed, couldn't help but glance at Li Yunxiao, and stopped talking.
Li Yunxiao didn't want to get involved in officialdom. Now that he was a brother, how could he force him to do something he didn't want to do? Let him rot in his stomach.
Li Chunfeng glanced at the two of them and began to guess.
Just as he was guessing, a Xixirui shout came from the distance.
"The Holy One has arrived!!!"
As the words fell, Li Shimin, dressed in a dragon robe, got out of the sedan and slowly came to the half-meter-high platform.
All civil and military officials knelt on the ground, along with the people around them.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
