"When my great-uncle was still alive, he served as a guest under the prince's family, and later moved to the prince's post. His uncle also served as the prince's servant, and then to the lower official... Therefore, after the prince died of illness, both my ancestors and my father asked the lower official to have to Stay in the Crown Prince's Palace until His Highness the Crown Prince is buried, and then you can leave!"
Walking in the deserted palace alleys, Lai Sui briefly explained the reason why he still stayed in the palace.
Li Xuan suddenly came to his senses.
Laisui's great-grandfather was the former Sui general Hu'er.
In the 14th year of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Wenhua and Jiangdu rebelled. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was killed, and Lai Huer was killed together.
At that time, several sons in Lai Hu'er's family were killed at the same time. Only the eleventh son, Lai Heng and his younger brother Lai Ji, survived because they were young.
During the Zhenguan period, Lai Ji took up the posts of Tongshi Shiren, Zhongshu Shiren, Zhongshu Shilang, Zhongshu Lingjia, Tong Zhongshu's third rank, inspector of the Ministry of Officials, and guest of the prince. , Tired of being demoted to the governor of Tingzhou.
In the second year of Longshuo, the Western Turks entered Kouting Prefecture, and Lai Jili was killed in battle.
The second son of Laiji came to Qingyuan. In the second year of Longshuo, he served as Prince Sheren and is now the governor of Runzhou.
Laisui's grandfather, Laiheng, had a smooth official career before the Xianqing year. However, after the Xianqing year, his career began to be bumpy. It was not until the second year of Longshuo that things gradually improved. Now he is appointed as the Minister of Huangmen, with only one shortcoming. The first step is to reach the third rank of Tong Zhongshu, the position of prime minister.
Li Xuan said softly: "It's not easy to be here. If I remember correctly, I will be an official in three years?"
Lai Hengsheng was born in the fourth year of Daye in the former Sui Dynasty, which is sixty-seven years ago. He was two years older than his younger brother Laiji.
"Yes, actually Twenty-Seventh Lang doesn't know something. Our ancestor wanted to retire early more than once, but His Majesty didn't allow it!"
Laisui didn't pay attention to Li Xuan's presumption, and whispered: "In the court today, the left prime minister is already seventy-four, and Hao is one year older than his ancestor. And I'm afraid that in two years, your majesty may not be the same." It will make him become an official."
"The court!" Li Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Liu Rengui, the left prime minister, had already assumed office four years ago. In less than a year, he was forced to return to the post of governor of Longzhou due to the defeat of Dafeichuan. The prince Zuo Shuzi, the general manager of Jilin Dao, and even the current ministers Zuo Pushe and Tong The third grade of Zhongshu sect.
There are so many white-headed men in the court, how can a newcomer take over the power?
"Both you and I know that King Yong's temperament is defective, and he needs the help of his distinguished ministers... Maybe you and I can survive that day." Lai Sui didn't say anything, but Li Xuan could clearly understand the meaning behind his words. mean.
"Brother Lai is very transparent, and everyone in the world can understand the affairs of the world. Maybe in one or two days, it will be the time for you and me to take the stage!" Li Xuan admired Lai Sui's vision very much.
As expected of the descendants of officials who have passed down from the Sui Dynasty to the present and have held important positions in the court many times, they have a thorough understanding.
If Lai Heng could go one step further and serve as the third rank of Zhongshu's family and the position of prime minister before taking office, the Lai family would have another prime minister, who would be no worse than the Dai family.
"This way, Mr. Twenty-seven, please!" Laisui turned a small corner in front of him, and at the end of the narrow palace lane was a small ordinary palace courtyard.
But outside the palace, under the high wall, dozens of Forbidden Army guards wearing bright light armor and holding sharp swords and guns stared at Li Xuan and Laisui with cold eyes the moment they appeared. ….
Laisui hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands to a forty-year-old Forbidden Army general and said, "This general, Your Majesty the Prince, is Laisui. This is the Prince of Nanchang and a disciple of Master Xuanzang. I am here hoping to meet Master Xuanzang!"
"No, no one can enter, stand back!" The Forbidden Army general grasped the hilt of his sword fiercely and stared at Li Xuan with his fierce eyes.
When Laisui wanted to say something else, Li Xuan grabbed him fiercely, shook his head, and then looked at the Forbidden Army general: "General, I don't want to see anyone, and I don't need the general's help to pass things in. It's just troublesome." The general brought a message to my master, saying that my disciple Li Xuan is waiting outside the door to meet me, and my master should have something to tell you!"
Li Xuan earnestly handed over his hands, then stood up, and then pulled Huai to his side, and the two stood side by side.
Seeing this scene, the Forbidden Army general frowned slightly, and he stared at the two people standing side by side.
one
One is the current king of the county, and the other is a disciple of the prime minister. Moreover, Li Xuan only asked for a sentence, so it was not too difficult.
But after just thinking for a moment, the Forbidden Army general said with a cold face: "This is a forbidden area in the palace, don't... don't trespass here without permission, wait here!"
After saying this, the Forbidden Army general immediately walked into the courtyard. Li Xuan quickly handed over his hand: "Thank you, General!"
Lai Sui, who was standing aside, raised his eyebrows and pulled Li Xuan's sleeves.
The Forbidden Army general just wanted to reject them, but suddenly changed his tune, as if someone had given an order secretly.
Li Xuan shook her head slightly, signaling Lai Sui not to interfere.
He came here today originally to find out the hidden identity of the Thousand-Faced Buddha, but after failing to go to Chengshendu Garden, he immediately changed his goal.
Li Xuan has been practicing for a long time to break through the innate true seed. For further practice, although he has a practice method and does not delay daily practice, but if he wants to increase the speed of practice, he needs one more important thing...
After a while, the general of the imperial army walked out of the palace courtyard quickly, walked up to Li Xuan, looked at him with some surprise, and then handed over a roll of paper.
Although the paper was rolled up, you could tell at a glance that the content inside was freshly written.
"Thank you, General!" Li Xuan bowed her hand deeply, and then respectfully took the roll of paper with both hands.
Looking at the roll of paper in his hand, Li Xuan nodded slightly to the Forbidden Army general again, then decisively turned around and walked quickly in the direction he came from.
Lai Sui looked at Li Xuan's expression in surprise, but he hesitated for a moment and followed closely. After a while, after turning the corner, Lai Sui couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what's inside this..." If you are in trouble, forget it, Twenty-Seven Lang!"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Li Xuan held the roll in one hand, slowed down his pace, and raised the roll in his hand slightly.
The sun shines through the roll paper, leaving a black shadow.
Following along, although Lai Sui couldn't clearly see the lineup of rolls, he could clearly see the horizontal and diagonal lines reflected on the rolls.
"What is this?" Laisui looked surprised. This was not a letter or copywriting at all. What kind of riddle did Li Xuan and Wei Xuanzang come up with!
"This is the Jiujiang Pulse Map!" Li Xuan glanced at Lai Sui calmly and revealed the truth in one sentence...
"Jiujiang Meridian Diagram." Lai Sui looked at Li Xuan with a surprised look on his face: "You practice the Jiujiang Meridian True Water Sutra?"
"You are the first person to call out the full name of this set of exercises. What I practice is indeed the Jiujiang Xingmai Zhenshui Sutra." After a slight pause, Li Xuan read out a poem: "In the past, I was on Jiujiang, looking at Jiuhua Peak in the distance. .The Milky Way spreads over the Beidou, and the power of the human world changes."
"Jiujiang Meridian, Tianhe True Dharma!" The source nodded and said, "Although this is not the Immortal Scripture, it is still quite remarkable!"
"It's a pity that Tianhe's true method is not complete." Li Xuan showed a wry smile and then said: "Unless people like you and I give up all fame, fortune, wealth and splendor, otherwise, those secret methods of immortality will not be available to you and me at all. !」
Qingyang Palace in Sichuan, where Li Xuan's teacher Wei Xuanzang lives, has its own secret method of immortality, such as the "Innate Spiritual Sutra".
It's a pity that even in Qingyang Palace, only a few people can teach this secret method.
What Li Xuan practiced was only the "Jiujiang Xingmai Zhenshui Jing" which was above average.
The "Tianhe Zhenfa" was incomplete, and the elders of Qingyang Palace created a "Jiujiang Xingmai Zhenshui Sutra" from it.
This set of exercises was indeed second-rate when it was hundreds of years ago. According to rumors, it could even be cultivated to the golden elixir at most. In the ancient times when you could cultivate the soul and become an earthly immortal at will, it was really nothing.
But in today's era, when even golden elixirs are rare to see or hear, "Jiujiang Xingmai Zhenshui Jing" is not inferior in power.
And even if there is a so-called golden elixir soul that can be immortal under countless long bows and crossbows, it must always stay away! .
