"My lords, Yuan is just asking for an edict and some books to win over the Xia Dynasty. How excessive is this?"
Yuan Sheng saw that he was ascending to the hundred-foot-high domed arched hall in front of him. When he looked at the temple, all the princes were in panic. They only stood halfway up in the sky with their hands behind their hands, tilting their heads slightly, and there were many doubts in their expressions.
But when Yuan Sheng finished speaking, all the princes in the palace finally came to their senses. Looking closer, I was even more horrified to realize that the man of God was only a few hundred feet away.
At such a distance, the hearts of the temple masters felt as if they were being pinched hard by a hand, and they felt that if they hesitated even a little bit, the black sky would come crashing down behind the god!
All the people in the hall looked at each other in astonishment. The god and man took three or five breaths after he spoke, but no one in the temple dared to speak.
"In the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, everyone says that you are the most powerful person in the world. Tell me, am I asking too much?"
Yuan Sheng saw that all the princes in the hall were speechless. He also saw that the old man who had previously said that Yuan Sheng and Wang Anshi were colluding collapsed on the ground, and then turned his attention to Zhao Xu who was sitting on the golden throne.
Zhao Xu's face was pale at this moment. Hearing the words of the god, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead. How could he look like an emperor at all on his face?
But when the god-man asked himself, when he saw the god-man turning his back on the black sky and bowing to the imperial power, it took Zhao Xu Ai Ai a while to gain some strength, and his lips trembled softly.
"The two things a man of God desires are not too much..."
It was rare for Zhao Xu to be able to speak at this moment. The god was only a hundred feet away from the black sky. Zhao Xu could vaguely see the outline of Bianjing City in the distance through the vermilion gate of the Chui Gong Hall.
Under such circumstances, how could Zhao Xu not know that the Jinluan Palace under his seat might be in the high heavens. If it offends the gods and men, the hectares of space in the palace and the Jinluan Palace might become indistinguishable from each other.
To be able to generate the energy to tremble softly is already extraordinary for Zhao Xu!
"Then, can I ask the official to point me to the location of the library in the palace?"
Yuan Sheng listened to Zhao Xu's words, and his face only showed a pleasant look. If you ignore other things and only see the smile on Yuan Sheng's face, it can really make a person become a god. He has great mercy, for that true Taoist immortal.
But in front of you, you can only see the hundred-foot-high arched hall rising into the sky, and behind the god and man, the dark sky is pressing down on the imperial court. All the princes in the hall have panic-stricken expressions. How many people in the hall think that the god and man are compassionate and immortal people?
"Please ask the gods to collect their magical powers, and let Jie Fu take the gods there!"
In front of the vermilion gate of Chui Gong Hall, Wang Anshi still bowed and worshiped. When he listened to Yuan Sheng's words again, Wang Wengong caught a glimpse of the princes in the hall and saw Zhao Xu behind him, speaking so softly.
"good!"
Yuan Sheng listened to Wang Anshi's words and just nodded with a smile. When Yuan Sheng finished speaking, Wang Wengong suddenly felt as if he had become an immortal.
But in an instant, Wang Wengong seemed to have attained the immortal way, and flew towards the god with his fluttering clothes. Seeing this, all the princes in the palace looked at each other with confusion and confusion.
Wang Anshi himself knew that such action was done by Yuan Sheng, but the princes in the temple were just surprised and wondered why Wang Anshi soared into the sky. In the eyes of the princes, they could only see Wang Anshi speaking softly in front of the god.
When Wang Anshi nodded with his finger, he saw the god's smile getting even bigger. Then he heard the hustle and bustle in Bianjing City. The princes in the temple raised their eyes and saw only the god and the prince behind him. Several pavilions and pavilions rose out of thin air.
The common people in Bianjing City could only see the pavilions and pavilions in the imperial court soaring into the sky, but the princes in the temple could see clearly that those pavilions and pavilions were not the attic where scriptures and classics were stored in the imperial court!
But at this moment, these pavilions and pavilions that store scriptures are just suspended in the sky. If the black sky behind the god is replaced by a blue sky and white clouds, from a distance, these pavilions and pavilions really look like the scenery of an immortal family's heaven.
But such a scene, coupled with the dark sky behind the god and man, and seeing the pavilions and pavilions hanging high in the sky, ordinary people would be more frightened than amazed.
Wang Wengong also saw Yuan Sheng's magical powers. After only passing through the mountains once, he was not surprised by such a scene.
Seeing the three or five pavilions hanging behind Yuan Sheng, Wang Wengong looked hesitant. After being slightly entangled, he finally said something else.
"Why does the God treat Jiefu so favorably?"
The god said that he came here because of the slanderous remarks made by the ministers in the temple, but when Wang Anshi looked at Yuan Sheng in front of him, he felt that the god seemed to be cheering him on.
This feeling was wonderful, but when he thought about the dilemma he faced in the temple, and when he was criticized verbally and written, the gods would come down, this thought arose in Wang Anshi's heart and became like a river overflowing and could not be let go.
"Why did the prince say this?"
Yuan Sheng listened to Wang Anshi's words, but showed a look of confusion, as if he was surprised why Wang Anshi had such thoughts.
"Yuan just heard that the Gongun princes in the temple said that I was colluding with you, and he was extremely angry. How could he be kind to me?"
After Yuan Sheng showed a look of surprise, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but he looked at Wang Anshi in front of him with a smile and said these words.
"It's true that the gods treated Jiefu favorably..."
"Jiefu remembered that when the god was in the mountains, he said that he wanted to establish a Taoist lineage and open a sect of immortality. There may be three or two people in the world who are amazingly talented and talented, and can become Taoist friends of the god."
"In the eyes of the gods, Jiefu is one of the three or two future Taoist friends of the gods?"
Wang Anshi lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head. Such thoughts came to his mind while his thoughts were rolling.
After all, Wang Anshi really didn't know why Yuan Sheng treated him so favorably. He felt that he was not special, let alone what his virtues and abilities were, yet he actually asked a god to come across mountains and seas to speak a few words for him.
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. In the future, there may be those three or two Taoist friends in the mountain, but I think that Your Majesty will not be among them."
"I said I'm treating you well, but why did Yuan know you as the only one in the court?"
"Besides, I am a stingy person. I don't like it when others say bad things about me."
"Previously, I only said that I was colluding with you. If Yuan doesn't show up again, those people are afraid that they will make more and more ugly remarks. Of course, I will show up to scare them."
Seeing Wang Anshi's firm tone, Yuan Sheng did not hide that he was indeed trying to help Wang Anshi in front of him.
"But for the prince, what Yuan is looking forward to is not to become my fellow Taoist. He only expects the prince to return to the court, rectify the situation, make the officials clean and clear, and the people live in peace."
"At the same time, Yuan also doesn't want to see an idealist perish."
"I just think that if a person like a prince is in the temple, there may be things that will leave his name for eternity under this mountain!"
After Yuan Sheng was told the truth by Wang Anshi, the smile on his face became even bigger.
Maybe it wasn't just Wang Anshi, but all the Gonggun princes in the temple should have seen that the god walked out more like he was standing up for Wang Anshi, right?
As for why?
There are so many reasons, but Yuan Sheng remembered that he had memorized Wang Anshi's article. He was just a rare acquaintance of his. If he didn't take care of his acquaintances, how could he take care of strangers?
In addition, Yuan Sheng also wanted to see how many interesting things would happen down the mountain if someone like Wang Anshi returned to the court.
In his eyes, Wang Anshi was an idealist who wanted to eliminate the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty.
He didn't want to see such an ideal person perish, and he also wanted to see the characters he had only seen in books, and write an eternal history in the land of Zhuxia.
For Yuan Sheng, immortality is just within easy reach, but what about after immortality?
Do you just care about the mountains and rivers all day long, or live a life of seeking Taoism like an ascetic monk, practicing hard day and night on the road, like a prisoner?
No, no, no, that is not the life Yuan Sheng wants!
Living a long life, cultivating the great path is the main thing, but it is not everything.
He is also a human being, and he also has likes and dislikes, but his likes are different from others.
He likes praise but hates words. He likes to meet talented and famous people, likes fishing, visiting friends, and beauty. He likes to see talents in the world blaming Fang Qiu and performing famous events through the ages. He also likes idealists to burn all generous deeds for their ideals.
In Yuan Sheng's view, Wang Anshi was a talented person who criticized Fang Qiu.
He gave Wang Anshi mountain dates and sacred tree tea to extend Wang Anshi's life by one or two. He didn't just think that Wang Anshi would return to the temple after coming down from the mountain and perform a famous deed for the good people through the ages.
Some people are greedy for what they have in the cup, some are fond of vomiting clouds, some are fond of beauty, and some are greedy for money and power.
Yuan Sheng considers himself a fake immortal, but fake immortals are also human beings.
If one day Yuan Sheng only searches up and down the road and turns a blind eye to the scenery along the road, then in Yuan Sheng's own eyes, he will be just a prisoner of spiritual practice.
They seem to have infinite scenery, but in fact they are just poor people trapped on the so-called road.
It is human nature to like praise and hate words. Yuan Sheng is not big-minded, so it is fine if no one is around and others say bad things about him. If it falls into his ears, he will inevitably have to argue.
A talented and famous person, Yuan Sheng really wanted to meet that person who was famous throughout the ages.
Good fishing, this is the way of playing games, it is by no means playful and does not accept refutation!
Meeting the talented people in the world is just to prevent Yuan Sheng's heart from becoming as silent as a rock. Seeing more of the scenery and great things in the world is enough to make Yuan Sheng's heart agitate and his heart not to grow old.
As for those who are happy to see ideals, they actually act without hesitation, and Yuan Sheng was also greatly shocked by what he saw.
What he lives is the joy of eternal life, and he is even more worried that one day his heart will be sick, and he will live until he sees mountains, rivers, and the world as boring. At that time, even though he has immortality, everything in the world will not move his heart, how is it different from the mountains and rocks?
"The gods want to see Jiefu finish what he has not yet done, but who knows, Jiefu is half-hearted!"
"In the ninth year of Xining, the eldest son, Wang Yushi, was thirty-three years old. He died of illness in front of Jiefu. The white-haired man had already sent the black-haired man away. Jiefu was always desolate."
"At that time, the reform had reached a point where it was difficult to return. After half a lifetime of hard work, there were only a lot of complaints in the world. When the eldest son was newly mourned, Jiefu begged for his body and returned to his hometown."
Wang Anshi had a wry smile on his face. He had never thought that the God would value him so much, but after seeing the court today, he had no intention of returning to the court.
"God extended my life and spoke for me. Jiefu is extremely grateful."
"But Jiefu's body is so disabled that he really doesn't want to return to the court again!"
"I'm just an old man, and I've long been discouraged."
"I just ask the gods to have mercy and take Jie Fu with me when I return to the mountain."
"If the man of God does not give up, Jiefu thinks he still has some knowledge, so he can become an old servant with the man of God, sitting alone in the sutra pavilion in the mountain, and withering away his life!"
Wang Anshi listened to Yuan Sheng's words with a wry smile on his face. When he was standing in the temple, Wang Wengong had this thought even more. When he saw Yuan Sheng again, he spoke frankly and said everything in his heart.
He is no longer a teenager, how can he have the spirit of a teenager?
Yuan Sheng guessed a thing or two about what he thought, but his heart was already old. People may live another ten or twenty years, but people with an old heart can only wait to die.
"this……"
Yuan Sheng listened to Wang Anshi's words in front of him and bowed again when he saw Wang Anshi. He was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, Yuan Sheng saw Wang Wengong in front of him again and sighed softly.
"Old servant, there is no need. If the prince is willing, just follow me back to the mountain. The prince will be watching in the scripture pavilion in the mountain. Yuan will be overjoyed!"
"Go and have a rest! Go and have a rest!"
Yuan Sheng was dumbfounded by Wang Anshi's words, but after the silence, he burst into laughter again.
When Yuan Sheng finished speaking, he raised his finger to the palace, and the golden sword returned to the imperial court on the 100-foot high platform.
Wang Anshi followed Yuan Sheng. Seeing Yuan Sheng's movements, he first saluted Yuan Sheng in front of him, then turned around and bowed three times in the direction of the hanging arch hall.
These three bows are to bid farewell to all the princes and bid farewell to the official family Zhao Xu in the Jinluan Palace.
After Wang Anshi bowed three times, he stood quietly beside Yuan Sheng. The two of them had the black sky above their heads, and behind them there were three or five pavilions hanging for a long time. They just walked towards the sky in the distance.
When the two people walked out of Bianjing City, the black sky hovering above the two people's heads suddenly dispersed, and the golden light could be vaguely seen on the bodies of the god and Wang Anshi.
The princes in the Jinluan Palace were still frightened. They had not yet recovered from what had happened. When they looked back, they saw Wang Anshi bowing three times, and after three bows, he followed the god and the man in the sky.
Only Zhao Xu in the Jinluan Palace could see everything, but it was not until this moment that he finally realized anything.
No longer caring about the Tian family's demeanor, he rushed to the vermilion gate of Chui Gong Palace and shouted at Wang Anshi's back.
"My dear, Jiefu, Jiefu! You have won immortality, don't forget me, don't forget me, the official!"
