Wu'an Hou Tianfu was seven feet tall, not very tall, and even shorter when he bowed his head to flatter others.
But now he slowly raised his head, even letting others lower their heads in front of him and look up at his height.
The reason for this is simply because he finally got through it.
His status as a newly created marquis was not his true distinction, and having two marquises in his family was not enough to establish a solid footing. The Empress Dowager's younger brother was his real strength.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager pressing on his head, Tian Fu felt that his tail could reach the sky.
"Queen Mother, what do you think of this hexagram?"
Tian Fu was in the Empress Dowager's Palace at this time, watching the fortune teller invited by the Empress Dowager to make predictions based on two pieces of tortoise shell, frowning from time to time, and looking sad from time to time, which made him puzzled for a moment.
"Don't worry, Yao Xiangshi is a man of heaven, and his fortune-telling should be accurate!"
The Queen Mother looked at Yao Xiangshi in front of her.
She met each other more than twenty years ago, but when she saw him again more than twenty years later, he still looked the same as before.
Twenty years ago she didn't understand, but twenty years later she has seen so much.
Her ability to become the wife of Emperor Jing and then the empress dowager was inseparable from the other party's calculations.
The Qin Dynasty once severely cracked down on fortune tellers, but now that it is the Han Dynasty, they no longer follow the laws of the Qin Dynasty.
And physiognomy is indeed a useful skill.
Once again, the other party was invited to come for divination, and the Empress Dowager also hoped to get corresponding advice.
She seemed to have unlimited glory at the moment, she belonged to the Han Dynasty and the whole world had the same mother, and her brothers had gained wealth through her, but the Empress Dowager was not at peace in her heart.
All her current glory is tied to the new emperor. Only if the new emperor can stabilize can she be stable.
"Master Yao, what do you think?"
After waiting for a long time, the Queen Mother finally asked.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty's emperor's star is shaking and it's hard to say it's stable." Yao Xiangshi finally said: "If I'm not careful, this... I don't even dare to say it!"
"What are you afraid to say?" The Empress Dowager said with a serious face: "Does the Empress Dowager have a fourth ear?"
"Speak quickly," Tian Fu shouted: "Don't be sloppy in front of me. If you use fake magic to deceive me, I will let you know... Hehe, I don't dare to say it in the Queen Mother's Palace!"
Tian Fu gave a low laugh and also responded to Yao Xiangshi's words.
"It is difficult for a fortune-teller to take his own life, but it is very easy to take his own life." Yao Xiangshi raised his head and looked at Tian Fu and said, "You have a life of wealth and honor, but it is not a good death!"
"You old man, how dare you curse me!"
Tian Fu's city was destroyed by Yao Xiangshi with one sentence.
He doesn't mind being said by ordinary people, but the fortune teller's words really put great pressure on him.
"Here comes the knife...hum!"
The magic power in his hand was concentrated, and a dark blue long knife with a faint purple light appeared from his right hand, ready to slash at Yao Xiangshi.
But as the empress dowager coughed, Tian Fu couldn't help but snorted, and the long knife shattered in his hand.
"Yao Xiangshi, don't blame my brother. He is also so eager to do this. I hope Yao Xiangshi can interpret the hexagrams," the Empress Dowager said solemnly.
Whether Tian Fu died well is important, but what is more important is the new emperor's affairs.
If the new emperor is unstable, it will be difficult for them to end up well, and their wealth will be just a passing cloud.
"I have a bell here that the Queen Mother can wear around her waist. The bell contains the birth date of Your Majesty. If you encounter a nemesis, the bell will sound. The Queen Mother will also know who will defeat Your Majesty!"
Yao Xiangshi did not speak directly, but took off a Bagua bell from his waist.
He counted the cinnabar and gave it to the Queen Mother.
"You mean His Majesty's people are in the palace?" the Queen Mother asked.
"You will know if you walk around the Queen Mother's palace more often!"
Xiangshi Yao nodded and did not want to go into too much detail.
When the Empress Dowager personally presented a square of spiritual jade and a hundred taels of gold, Yao Xiangshi couldn't help but frown.
"Where's the dragon blood?" Yao Xiangshi asked doubtfully: "What I want is the inherited dragon blood, not the spiritual jade!"
"The palace was stolen a while ago, some treasures were stolen, and the bottle of dragon blood was also missing." The Queen Mother replied: "It's best that I only have this spiritual jade here."
"in this way?"
Yao Xiangshi murmured a low question, and without repeatedly questioning the Queen Mother, he went directly out of the gate of the Queen Mother's palace. A puff of white smoke rose from the soles of his feet. When the white smoke dissipated, Yao Xiangshi had disappeared.
"Queen Mother, this old guy must be a cheater of food and drink," Tian Fu said anxiously: "His methods are just fake magic from the world at first glance."
A hundred taels of gold is nothing, but the spiritual jade is a treasure that even Tian Fu is jealous of.
Tian Fu does not expect to use the spiritual jade to practice, but if he can use the spiritual jade properly, it is not an exaggeration to say that he will have one more life.
When he looked at the reward that Yao Xiangshi took away, he couldn't help but feel very distressed. He felt that the other party had exchanged too much for a broken bell.
As for the dragon's blood the other party mentioned, Tian Fu was only glad that the Empress Dowager kept the bottom line and gave whatever the other party asked for.
"Don't talk nonsense, Yao Xiangshi is a man of heaven!"
The Empress Dowager stopped Tian Fu from complaining about it.
Her ability to become a queen and empress dowager is related to Yao Xiangshi's fortune-telling skills. If this is considered a liar, then the liar is too capable.
The Queen Mother felt that Tian Fu was too suspicious.
"If I had known that you would be so virtuous after you became successful in practicing martial arts, I wouldn't have taken you to see Yao Xiangshi for divination!"
With the support from time to time from the Empress Dowager, the salary from the court and the wide open door of convenience, Tian Fu finally entered the realm of supernatural powers after practicing for many years.
This realm is not considered to be the top monk, but it can be considered as barely squeezed into the upper class.
If you add some treasures, Tian Fu can be regarded as a master among the civil servants of the imperial court.
I wanted to bring Tian Fu to gain some insights, so I asked Yao Xiangshi for some advice. The Empress Dowager did not expect that Tian Fu was defeated by Yao Xiangshi's words.
Tian Fu and Yao Xiangshi broke their harmony, and Yao Xiangshi naturally couldn't do divination for Tian Fu, even if Tian Fu was willing to pay a big price.
Thinking of the results of Yao Xiangshi's casual fortune-telling to Tian Fu, the Queen Mother couldn't help but give some advice.
"My life is fine!"
Tian Fu groaned.
He solemnly bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and left the palace, while the Empress Dowager clutched the bronze bell and frowned.
After thinking for dozens of seconds, she finally put the bell on her waist, then called the maid to start patrolling the palace.
The new emperor was undoubtedly the first person he wanted to see.
At this time, the new emperor was practicing his sword, making every move majestic and majestic, practicing the methods of opening and closing.
This kind of swordsmanship lacks variety, but as long as the strength and speed are in place, it is difficult to defeat any swordsmanship.
The Empress Dowager took a look and saw the attendant holding "Zhang Zhong's Sword Skills Experience", "Chong Da's Sword Skills Experience" and "Nie Zheng Yao Shu".
The former Zhang Zhong and Chong Da were both top swordsman masters in the Han Dynasty decades ago, while the latter was a top assassin hundreds of years ago, and their knowledge was also used by Emperor Jing.
The new emperor obviously does not want to follow the old path of Emperor Jing's quick success in combat, but the difficulty of this new path will be beyond the new emperor's imagination.
To achieve the desired strength and speed, the new emperor will need to practice hard for many years, and during these years, the new emperor's swordsmanship will inevitably be restrained.
If the new emperor can maintain a positive attitude despite repeated defeats, this kind of swordsmanship may be a late success.
The Empress Dowager did not stop the new emperor from practicing this kind of swordsmanship at this time. If he was frustrated too much, he would always turn around and make another choice.
She looked at the new emperor for a while from dozens of meters away, and then changed the direction of her walking without disturbing him.
As usual, she went to Changle Palace to visit the Empress Dowager every day.
The Empress Dowager moved her steps, and after walking for half a quarter of an hour, she was already standing at the entrance of the Changle Palace.
Before she could enter the palace, the bell on her waist began to make a crisp sound.
