Everyone's spiritual energy cultivation seems to be improving slowly, but in fact it has been extremely rapid. You must know that practicing qi is a slow skill. For a person who is a qualified qi practitioner, if the mental method of practicing qi is not very mysterious, he will go from the light red cave god to the deep blue cave. It takes at least 30 years of unremitting practice, so most of the people who practice qi in the common dark blue hole are in their forties.
The promotion of the Deep Blue Hole to the mountain lilac is no longer something that can be overcome by hard work. It depends more on whether the talent is extraordinary or whether the Qi training method is mysterious. Therefore, more than 90% of the Deep Blue Hole will spend their whole life. Nor can he be promoted to live in Mountain Lavender.
The reason why people's spiritual energy cultivation can improve so quickly is not only because of the mysterious method of practicing energy, but also because of the blessing of energy-replenishing spiritual objects. To put it bluntly, it also benefits from the blessing and assistance of money.
Changsheng offended many people when he was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai. Therefore, after leaving office, there were few visitors to the palace. Only the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Minister of Dali Temple Yang Shuyun came to visit a few times.
Everyone knows the principle of people leaving for tea. It is not surprising that few visitors live forever. Not only do they not feel lost, but they feel more at ease. The emperors of all dynasties were most afraid of forming cliques. After serving as an official, they were not widely known. Connect in series and form parties for personal gain.
It is not wrong to say that he has never been selfish at all. When Mr. Shi came to visit, Changsheng mentioned Su Pingcuo, the governor of Suzhou. He did not ask Mr. Shi to secretly support this person, but asked Mr. Shi to protect him a little, unless there was no serious fault. , don’t transfer it easily. The reason why he mentioned this person was because his senior brother Batulu was now settling in Suzhou with this person. If Su Pingcuo was convicted and resigned, Batulu would also be affected.
Another half month later, a mysterious visitor came to the palace. According to the concierge, the person who asked for an audience only said that his surname was Zhou. He also said that as long as he said his surname, Changsheng would definitely come out to meet him.
Changsheng knew few people with the surname Zhou, so when the concierge said this person's surname, he immediately guessed that the visitor was Eunuch Zhou from the palace.
When they went out to meet each other, it turned out to be Eunuch Zhou. It was sunset. Eunuch Zhou was wrapped up tightly to resist the cold. This was only one of the reasons. The main reason was to hide his whereabouts and deceive others.
Eunuch Zhou was one of his own. When he saw him arriving, Changsheng immediately invited him into the inner house. After sitting down, Eunuch Zhou once again thanked Changsheng for his kindness to the house before, and then got straight to the point.
Eunuch Zhou is the person close to the emperor, so he accompanies the king every day and naturally knows everything. After entering the twelfth lunar month, there are many more articles about impeachment of Changsheng. , the emperor would throw it aside whenever he saw it before, and he never even finished reading it. But when encountering such excerpts in recent times, the emperor will read them all, and even ponder them after reading them.
First, and secondly, recently the emperor no longer stays up all night to deal with government affairs. He will go to the harem after sunset, and sometimes even in the afternoon. Previously, important government affairs were handled by himself, but now most of them are handed over to the harem. Menxia Provincial Department and Zhongshu Provincial Department will handle it on your behalf.
After hearing what Eunuch Zhou said, Changsheng frowned and pondered, silent for a long time. The emperor had not even read the excerpts about participating in his own performance before, but now he would read them all. This showed that the emperor's attitude towards him had undergone subtle changes. As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If you have seen too many slanderous words, the emperor's impression of him will inevitably be affected by those officials.
Furthermore, the emperor's visits to the harem have been increasing in recent times and his stay has been getting longer and longer. It cannot be ruled out that the court has temporarily overcome the current difficulties and the emperor has relaxed a little. But the most likely possibility is that there is a concubine in the harem that the emperor is obsessed with.
On that day, Sasaki once said that there was someone of theirs in the harem. Although this person did not have spiritual energy cultivation, he was proficient in the art of bedclothes. The emperor's blood was strong, and the other party could easily gain the emperor's favor because of his calculations but not his intentions.
"Your Majesty, this old slave belongs to the palace. He cannot be out for too long, so he is leaving now." Eunuch Zhou stood up and said goodbye.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhou," Chang Sheng thanked him with his hands raised, and then asked, "Eunuch Zhou, may I ask which concubine the emperor has favored more in recent times?"
"Concubine Li," Eunuch Zhou said in a low voice, "Concubine Li's surname is Tao and her name is Xiuli. She is a beautiful lady who just entered the palace this year. She was originally a ninth-grade concubine. She was favored by the emperor. She was promoted successively in a few months. At the beginning of this month, she unexpectedly I am happy to be pregnant with the dragon species. The Emperor is very pleased with the dragon's appearance and has granted me the title of Second Grade Concubine."
Hearing Eunuch Zhou's words, Changsheng's heart suddenly trembled, "Is this person already pregnant?"
Eunuch Zhou nodded, then bowed his hands and saluted before turning around to go ahead.
Changsheng followed him to see him off. Eunuch Zhou was frightened and waved his hands frequently, asking Changsheng to stay.
Seeing this, Changsheng had no choice but to stop in front of the corridor and watch Eunuch Zhou bow his head and leave.
At this time, it was snowing lightly in the sky, and Changsheng stood in the courtyard in a daze. This Tao Xiuli was most likely the spy Sasaki mentioned. His judgment was not without basis. First of all, this person was promoted too quickly. In just a few months, She was named a concubine. People often use the term "three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines" to describe the emperor's group of wives and concubines. In fact, there are not that many concubines in the harem, because the concubines are the second-rank concubines, and above them are the first-rank concubines and the first-rank imperial concubines. , the number of concubines usually does not exceed four, and the imperial concubine is equivalent to the deputy queen, there has always been only one, and the number of concubines is not many, no more than twelve at most.
In addition, this person's name is also one of the reasons why he is suspicious. The emperor's surname is Li, and this person's surname is Tao. There has always been a saying in China that peaches and plums are all over the world. The emperor can easily associate this person with peaches and plums all over the world, which is both festive and festive. It is also auspicious, but in fact, this person is probably not named Tao, let alone Tao Xiuli.
Furthermore, the women who enter the palace are all racking their brains to get the emperor's favor. In order to attract the emperor's attention, every woman will do whatever they can, but this person can actually break out of the encirclement among many opponents. He must have his own extraordinary skills. If nothing else, he is very powerful in some aspects as Sasaki said.
After standing for a long time, Chang Sheng sighed and turned around, returning worriedly. Not to mention that he was just guessing and inferring without any real evidence. Even if he had, there was nothing he could do to stop the change, because this person was already pregnant with a dragon seed, and the emperor had too many women. You may not care about one of them, but it's a different matter when you're pregnant. This woman is no longer an outsider, but the mother of her own child.
At this time, Miss Bai already weighed one hundred kilograms and had a wingspan of nearly two feet. There was no room for her in the house, so she had to temporarily build an eagle house in the back garden. Her food intake was also increasing. In order to train her to hunt on her own, the big head was So they fed them with live animals, causing chickens to fly and dogs to jump around in the back garden, and pigs to run around and sheep to bark.
A few days later, the emperor received another reward. As the new year was approaching, the reward this time was extremely rich. There were two large carts, all of which were tributes from various places, including food and clothing.
Among the many rewards are two huge red lanterns, each with five dragons embroidered on them.
While Datou and others were instructing the servants to carry the rewards, Changsheng stood at the door without saying a word. Seeing his gloomy face, Datou asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
At first, Datou and others were not used to the change of address, but as time went by, they gradually got used to it. Because the prince's status was much more noble than that of the officials, calling Chang Sheng "sir" all the time was equivalent to belittling him.
"Let them move, you follow me." Changsheng turned around and went first.
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, Da Tou became more and more confused and hurriedly called Yang Kai and Shi Xuanming to follow Chang Sheng to the main hall. He also called her out when passing by Yu Yi's residence.
When the four of them entered the main hall, Changsheng had already sat down from the main seat in the north, with a gloomy face and a gloomy expression.
When the four of them saw this, they looked at each other in confusion, then took their seats and turned to look at Changsheng, waiting for him to speak.
"Take some time to clean up. Let's leave Chang'an tomorrow." Chang Sheng said in a deep voice.
"So urgent?" Datou was stunned.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yu Yi was also surprised.
"I've been staying in Chang'an for a long time, and it's time to leave." Changsheng said casually.
"The New Year's Eve is just a few days away. Let's leave after the New Year." Datou discussed.
"I'll leave tomorrow." Changsheng said expressionlessly.
Changsheng rarely showed such a serious expression. Seeing that he had made up his mind, Datou nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go back and take care of things right away."
Several people were all confused, but no one dared to ask questions. In the end, Yang Kai took the lead and asked, "Did the Japanese take the lead?"
Changsheng shook his head and sighed, "The emperor has issued an order to expel guests."
Hearing Chang Sheng's words, the four of them were shocked and looked at each other.
"When?" Yang Kai asked.
"Just now," Changsheng raised his hand and pointed south, "did you see those two embroidered dragon lanterns?"
Chang Sheng spoke to Da Tou in a somewhat serious tone before, so Da Tou did not dare to speak casually. In the end, Yang Kai answered, "I saw it, what's wrong?"
"When were the lanterns used?" Changsheng asked.
"Shang Yuan Festival," Yang Kai said, suddenly enlightened, "I understand."
Not only Yang Kai understood, Datou and others also realized that it was not the New Year yet, but the emperor had already rewarded the lanterns used for the Lantern Festival. On the surface, it was a reward in advance, but in fact it was a hint of the Lantern Festival. At that time, everyone was still in Chang'an, and there was indeed a disguised urge.
After saying this, everyone went back to pack things up separately. Changsheng stayed up all night writing notes of gratitude and farewell.
The excerpt was written that night, but Chang Sheng did not send anyone to submit it. He did not send someone to submit it until the afternoon of the next day, when everyone set off.
It was snowing lightly in the sky, which was not suitable for a long journey, but Changsheng did not delay. He felt uncomfortable with the emperor's disguised order to expel guests. Leaving in the snow was actually telling the emperor that he understood what the emperor meant. It's not a big deal to embarrass the emperor, but leaving immediately after seeing the lantern doesn't really mean to save the emperor's face.
Changsheng got on his horse from the front of the palace, shook the reins and went ahead.
Yang Kaiyu released Xuan Ming's horse and whip, followed closely behind.
Miss Bai carried the big head and flapped her wings and chirped into the air.
The five people did not hide their whereabouts. They left the city from the south gate and headed south quickly under the astonished gaze of the people on the street.
Changsheng was in a bad mood and remained silent all the time. Datou and others wanted to comfort him, but could not find a chance to speak.
Half an hour later, everyone was more than two hundred miles away from Chang'an.
Just as Changsheng reined in his horse and looked back, a proud laugh suddenly came from the top of the mountain in the south, "Hahahaha, you have made all kinds of preparations these days, do you really think you can show off your skills without Chang'an?"
"Situ Honglie?!" Datou exclaimed.
As soon as Datou finished speaking, Dongfang Chen's cold snort could be heard from the top of the mountain on the east side, "Don't worry about showing off your skills, I will let you die before you leave today..."
