"Hiccup! Feel good!"
"I and Empress Sanhua took advantage of the female hero again."
"I also said I was taking advantage of you." Wu Nuxia said, shaking her head.
"We are old acquaintances. Let's not talk about this. Just eat as much as you want."
"It's so relaxing."
"Thanks to you for your good craftsmanship." Wu Xia burped again and said, "People like us are very satisfied with a meal of boiled rabbit meat in mushroom and chicken soup. I don't know that the emperor always What kind of delicious food do you eat every day?"
"Maybe it's not that delicious."
"How can it be?"
"Guess."
"I'm leaving, please clean up." Wu Nuxia stood up and left. Song You watched her walk out of the room. Although she had drunk some wine and her face was red, her steps were steady and her tone was calm as usual. It would take one to be very careful to notice a little bit of drunkenness in her words, just like she was thinking happily. Back to the time when Yizhou was free and at ease.
Song You shook his head, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw a figure on the street outside the door. A lame middle-aged Taoist priest was saluting him.
The Taoist smiled and stood up to salute. It's finally here. ... After clearing the table and chairs, the two of them sat across from each other.
"This place is simple and shabby, and there is no good tea. Please be considerate of the Imperial Master." Song You was respectful and polite.
"The mountain is not high and the water is not deep. The place where the Taoist friends are is the place where the dragon is subdued." The national master lowered his head and said,
"It's a poor man's luck."
"The Imperial Advisor is here for the Taiwei?"
"The Taiwei did not want to die and sought a way to prolong his life, but he went astray. The Taiwei's son bullied the people based on his birth status, and was punished by the gods and masters, which greatly pleased the people." The Imperial Master said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all. People who were willing to discuss the rights and wrongs of this matter and didn't care about the Taiwei Mansion just sighed,
"After this matter spreads, I'm afraid there will be another rumor about the immortal in the capital."
"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
"Your Majesty has already issued an order to restrain the noble children of Changjing, but no matter how wise your Majesty is, how can you take care of all aspects?" The Imperial Master sighed, as if he was also helpless.
"Everyone in the world says that the whole world is not the land of the king, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. But to put it bluntly, this world is neither the world of the common people nor the world of His Majesty alone."
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense."
"If one day, there is a world that truly belongs to the people of the world, then it will be a truly prosperous age."
"The national master is a true Taoist." Song You had a little more respect. This was not something that the royal nobles of this era could say.
"Speaking of the fact that your Majesty is in charge of this dynasty, it is the most peaceful time for the nobles in Changjing." The Imperial Master paused as he spoke.
"But firstly, His Majesty is busy with government affairs, and secondly, His Majesty cannot control too much. Some people may think that the Chu family does not want to share the world with them. This time, Taoist Taoist friends have intimidated the group of powerful people in Changjing, both for the country and the people. Italy. Your Majesty is a wise emperor. Last night he was telling me that I would like to thank you fellow Taoist." After hearing this, Song You just smiled without saying anything, and then asked: "Isn't this why the Imperial Master is here? Something happened and you came to me specifically, so what’s the matter?”
"Your Majesty is so strong."
"That's it." Song You smiled again. The Imperial Master spoke simply.
"But in addition to being strong, Your Majesty also admires the grace of immortals and seeks the way to eternal life and freedom." The Imperial Master added,
"I had heard about Taoist Taoist's deeds before, and I admired him endlessly. I also knew that Fulong Temple was connected with the royal family. I had long wanted to invite Taoist Taoist to the palace as a guest. However, I knew that Taoist Taoist might not like to be disturbed, so he dissuaded His Majesty. Now I just happened to listen. Your Majesty felt deeply ashamed that Taoist Taoist was offended by the dandy of the Taiwei Palace, so he asked Pindao to make a special trip. He wanted to invite Taoist Taoist to be a guest in the palace and drink and talk at night." He paused and added: "Your Majesty knows that the descendants of Fulongguan like to be free and easy. If fellow Taoists don't want to, you won't force it." The imperial master quietly looked at Song You, already prepared to be rejected.
But I only heard the young Taoist ask: "Are you going today?"
"Of course not."
"When are you going?"
"Let's see when it's convenient, fellow Taoist."
"Is there a palace banquet?"
"Haha, of course there is. What do the immortals of Fulongguan want? As long as the palace can get it, they may be neglected?"
"I have had some leisure time recently." The imperial master was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Then it will be scheduled in three days. Even if it is just drinking and talking at night, the palace must be prepared."
"good."
"In three days, the poor Taoist will come to invite fellow Taoists."
"Can I bring a cat?"
"nature."
"Trouble the Imperial Preceptor." Until he left this place, the Imperial Preceptor still looked puzzled. Based on what he knew, he guessed that this person was indifferent and casual by nature, and did not like trouble and care. He would probably say thank you to His Majesty for your kindness, but he declined politely, but he did not expect that he actually agreed.
There are still many pedestrians on the street at night. The Imperial Master was thinking as he walked. Could it be that he is aware of the relationship between His Majesty and the reincarnation of the underworld and wants to test it?
Or do you think there are some problems in Dayan today, such as the corruption of the scholars in Changjing, the domineering nobles, the continuous conquests in the north and the lack of food for the people, and the sudden increase in the world's population, and want to criticize or remonstrate?
The descendants of Fulongguan are different from generation to generation. Some people will do such a thing, and some will not. The national master is not sure at the moment.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out. You don’t just want to see the palace, do you? ...Three days later, the Taoist entered the palace.
It was evening at this time, and the setting sun was like gold, adding more magnificence to the already majestic palace city.
Two Taoists walked slowly among them. There is also a calico cat beside me. The palace is extremely quiet today.
Song You looked left and right from time to time, and the cats around him stopped from time to time, stretching their necks to look around. The accompanying eunuch quietly took a look, but did not even dare to remind the cats not to run around.
Changjing has been the ancient capital of several dynasties intermittently. The palace at this time was built by the previous dynasty and is still used in this dynasty, but with some expansion and renovation.
For hundreds of years, it has gone through ups and downs, ups and downs, and most of the time it has determined the fate of all people in the world and affected the entire world.
This is the center of power in the world. Song You also visited the imperial palace in his previous life, but at that time the Forbidden City had become a tourist attraction. There were only scattered tourists in the palace square, and there was not much solemnity.
It seems that it has been abandoned by the times and died naturally. The completely different palace in front of him was still alive.
Not only is it alive, it is also full of majesty. Forbidden troops can be seen everywhere. The dark armor is thick and majestic. The face is also blocked by the mask, only a pair of eyes are exposed, like a ghost.
Occasionally, palace maids and eunuchs would walk in the palace square with their heads lowered, taking small steps, and not daring to make a sound.
This kind of palace is completely different from what I saw in my previous life. At this time, I looked up and looked at it, and it was a wonderful feeling.
I wonder if every descendant of Fulong Temple has been here. Based on Song You's guess, his master most likely has never been here.
I don’t know what the other masters thought when they came here. In short, when Song You came here today accompanied by the national master, his feelings were very unusual.
What you see is naturally not all the exquisite architecture, not all the grandeur of the palace, there are other things.
As the sun sets, the light moves in the palace. There is a clear line on the square-tiled palace square. One side is illuminated by the sun and turns golden, while the other side sinks into the night little by little. After a while, only the glazed tile roof is left in the sky. It was slightly up, reflecting the sparkling light.
The world gradually darkened. The Anle Palace was pure and pure. There was no singing, dancing, shengxiao, no palace maids like clouds, only bright lights like daylight, a few banquet tables arranged for the guests and hosts, and a few imperial guards.
There was an old man sitting at the head, dressed in black and gold clothes, in good spirits, and got up to greet the visitor. Song You followed the Imperial Master, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but look at him.
This emperor is really no ordinary emperor. If we talk about emperors, except for a few puppets, most of them are the Nine-Fifth Emperor. It is difficult to find anyone with higher status and more power than him in the world. But in fact, among these Nine-Five Emperors, there are also many mediocre people. .
This man is by no means mediocre, if not supremely capable. Dayan is really the most powerful dynasty in history, and this is also the period when Dayan is at its most powerful. No matter how much credit belongs to this emperor in such a prosperous era, he is destined to be famous throughout the ages, and will be often remembered in history by future generations. I saw a name.
"I have met Your Majesty." The Imperial Master stepped forward first and saluted, and then said: "Finally, I have lived up to Your Majesty's trust and invited fellow Taoists from Fulong Temple here." Song You also immediately bowed and saluted: " Fulongguan visited Song Dynasty and met His Majesty."
"Hahaha, Immortal Master, no gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Beside the Immortal Master is..."
"This is Empress Sanhua who travels the world with me."
"It turns out that this is Empress Sanhua. She is indeed beautiful and magical. No wonder some people have bad intentions." The emperor said and laughed.
"But daring to use the title of Queen is also bold."
"It made His Majesty laugh."
"Please take a seat, please take a seat." The emperor asked two people and one cat to sit down, and then said: "I have long heard of the name of Fulong Temple, and I have also heard of the immortal master's deeds. It is my great fortune to finally meet him today."
"Don't dare."
"Immortal masters don't have to be restrained. Speaking of which, when Dayan was founded, it was thanks to the help of the founder of Fulongguan. Decades ago, when Dayan was weak, it was also thanks to the advice of the immortal master of Fulongguan. Whether it is in this world or in the world, The imperial family of Dayan cannot live without Fulong Temple." The emperor complimented him.
"This encounter can be considered a fate. I will first pay a toast to the immortal master."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome..." Song You quickly raised his glass and faced it from afar. Then he looked to the other side. A tall man was already sitting there. The emperor stood up before, and he also stood up, but did not speak.
"This general..."
"This is the now famous General Chen Xin and Chen Ziyi." The Imperial Master said with a smile.
"I wonder if you have heard of the general's name?"
"Like thunder piercing the ears!" Song You said and cupped his hands to General Chen: "I have admired him for a long time."
"Chen has met the Immortal Master before." Chen Ziyi also raised his fists and returned the salute, then narrowed his eyes, looked at him, and asked: "The Immortal Master looks familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
"When the apricot blossoms first bloomed, outside the East City Gate, the general had just been recalled to the capital. I also happened to come back from admiring the flowers in Changshan. I was fortunate to have met the general once." Song You still felt strange at this time, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Just like the people in the rumors, now they were sitting face to face with him, drinking tea and talking.
"That's so! No wonder the immortal master looks familiar!"
"The general only feels familiar to me below, but to me, the general is very familiar to me."
"oh?"
"I like to listen to books. Not long after I came down from the mountain, I stayed in Yidu and listened to the general's stories in Goulan for half a year." Song You said,
"After traveling for two years, I often heard about the general's deeds."
"The world exaggerates, but Chen doesn't dare to take it seriously." Chen Ziyi said modestly,
"Chen, on the other hand, has long heard about your deeds. He is like a god and has always admired you very much. This time I heard that His Majesty was hosting a banquet for you, so I had the nerve to ask for a seat. I want to come and see the world. I hope you won't be offended."
"How dare you..." The emperor was in front, so the two couldn't say much. As the emperor invited Song You and the Imperial Master to take a seat, Chen Ziyi also sat down and soon returned to silence, eating food, drinking wine, and listening to a few people chatting.
