Speaking of which, Zhang Cong was very impressed by Lan Daoxing's "Taoxing", so he put away his further test and directly expressed his purpose of inviting him to come.

Unexpectedly, when Taoist Lan heard that he was going to find dragons and point acupoints for Jiajing's biological father, Emperor Xingxian Zhu Youze, his expression changed and refused: "I have a shallow cultivation and cannot take on this great task. Lord Zhang should ask Gao Ming for another person."

As the saying goes: accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.

Although the job of helping the emperor find a cemetery is very glorious and the rewards are definitely extremely generous, the risks are immeasurable. If you are not careful, you will lose your head. No matter how much you earn, you will be in danger.

An old fox like Zhang Cong naturally understood Lan Daoxing's concerns, and then put a high hat on Lan Daoxing and suggested that the emperor intended to enthrone a national master. The Lan God was indeed moved when he heard this. After pondering for a moment, he agreed. From this point of view, the so-called "god" also escaped the word "fame".

Seeing that Lan Daoxing agreed, Zhang Cong said happily: "The emperor attaches great importance to the relocation of Xianling, and I dare not slacken at all. I dare to ask Lan Shenxian how long it will take to determine the location of the Jikui?"

Lan Daoxing stroked the long beard under his jaw and said slowly: "As the saying goes, three years of searching for dragons and ten years of tapping acupoints, ordinary people are like this, let alone the imperial tomb. This is not urgent."

Hearing this, Zhang Cong silently picked up the teacup and took a sip!

Lan Shenxian was indeed not in a hurry to relocate Xianling, but Zhang Feng was in a hurry. If he found a "pit", it would take several years to settle it. That would be a big deal. Mr. Zhang was still counting on it to get to the top.

Wu Deyou naturally had this idea. Although the relatives of the outside world cannot be an official, isn’t he good at titles and salary? I’m looking for a treasure land of Fengshui in Tianshou Mountain. When the emperor was happy, the reward was not big!

Wu Deyou coughed lightly and said, "Yan Xian Lan, even though that's the case, it can't be too long. Besides, we can wait, but the emperor may not be able to wait. Do you see if you can work hard? If you need to prepare something, just speak up and this marquis will definitely be satisfied."

Lan Daoxing smiled and said, "The father-in-law is at ease. I haven't finished speaking yet. Tianshou Mountain is the place where the dragon veins are, so the step of finding a dragon can be avoided. My Ming Dynasty's saints are all here, so there is a method to click acupoints. Let's do this. I observed the celestial phenomena last night and expected that there would be wind and rain within two days. Then I decided to enter the mountain in three days. It would be half a month or three months later. There would be a sure faith."

Zhang Cong and Wu Deyou looked at each other happily and said in unison: "Then we will wait for the good news of Lan Shenxian."

After the matter was settled, Zhang Cong ordered his servants to open a banquet for entertaining Lan Daoxing. It was not until the banquet was over. Wu Deyou ordered someone to drive a carriage and send Lan Daoxing back to Chaotian Temple.

After Lan Daoxing left, only Zhang Cong and Wu Deyou were left in the living room. The former couldn't help but ask about Lan Daoxing's search for dragons to the Wu family.

Wu Deyou is already a little drunk at this moment, and he is even more ignorant about what happened back then.

"When it comes to this fairy Lan, I didn't have much fame at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford to hire someone else, but according to the uncle of my clan at that time, I just found a piece of land to bury my father. But my mother disagreed, so I found the auspicious cave that Lan fairy helped to set up. Fortunately, my mother insisted, otherwise there would be no such glory as my Wu family today."

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "Lingtang is a person who looks at the long term."

Wu Deyou nodded: "A few years ago, my mother left, so I specially asked the old couple to bury them together. Last year, the cemetery expanded when I was repairing the grave. It was originally out of filial piety. Unexpectedly, if something happened, even the title was cut off and the child was imprisoned. Then I woke up that the fairy Lan told me not to move the cemetery, for fear of ruining the Feng Shui, and I regret not being able to do it!"

Zhang Cong hurriedly asked: "What happened later? Is there a way to remedy?"

Wu Deyou immediately showed a look of awe and continued: "I woke up Lan Shenxian and ran to Chaotian Temple when they said that year. After begging for a long time, Lan Shenxian moved to the scene. Fortunately, Lan Shenxian said that the feng shui damage in the cemetery was not very serious, and after returning to its original state, it was arranged a little. Now, it took only a few months for the ancestral tomb to be repaired, and the queen heard good news... Hehe, what is happening to my Wu family now? Lord Zhang has witnessed it."

Zhang Cong couldn't help but sigh: "It's really so magical!"

Wu Deyou said proudly: "Or you think I dare to recommend it casually. If this matter is not good, it will be a loss of mind."

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "Fortunately, I would not know where to find such a master. If things settled in the future, I will definitely be rewarded by the Marquis. Come on, I will respect the Marquis for a cup."

Wu Deyou had a drink and felt happy. He didn't know that Zhang Cong was so scheming that the reason why he asked Wu Deyou to recommend the candidate was to leave a way out for himself to save his life. If there was anything wrong with moving to the tomb, Jiajing would pursue it and his father-in-law would be in front of him.

I believe that as long as it is not a crime of rebellion, Jiajing should have let Wu Deyou go for the sake of Empress Wu and the eldest son of the emperor. Then Zhang Cong naturally has no worries about his life, so the deal is quite cost-effective. However, Zhang Cong did not expect that Wu Deyou actually recommended a Taoist priest who "seemed" to have real skills this time, which is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Deyou was about to get up to say goodbye, but suddenly remembered something and said unnaturally: "Mr. Zhang, I recently heard that a court official reported to the emperor and requested to transfer King Xu Jin of Beijing to the capital?"

Zhang Cong nodded calmly and said, "This is true, and it has been decided. The emperor's imperial edict has been issued today."

Wu Deyou's expression changed slightly and he blurted out: "Why didn't Lord Zhang stop that?"

Zhang Cong asked back: "Why should we stop it? The war in the Western Regions is over. It is impossible for a prince to have troops all year round. My Ming Dynasty has no such precedent."

"As he said that, if Xu Jin returns to the capital, I am afraid that you and I will not benefit from it." Wu Deyou said in a muffled voice.

Zhang Cong's eyes flashed, and he said with deep meaning: "I think it would be better for Xu Jin to return to Beijing at this time."

"How do you say this?" Wu Deyou asked in confusion: "The emperor has always favored Xu Jin. This time, the emperor must favor him even more. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid Lord Zhang will have to retreat!"

Zhang Cong smiled faintly and said, "The greater the credit, the better. Haven't the Marquis heard that the great achievements shocked the master?"

Wu Deyou's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Zhang Da means that the emperor has become suspicious of Xu Jin? Well, it must be, otherwise the emperor would not have summoned Xu Jin back to the capital so happily."

Zhang Cong shook his head and said, "That's not the case. According to the observation of this official, the emperor still trusts Xu Jin very much unless...!"

Wu Deyou subconsciously looked forward and asked anxiously: "Unless what?"

Zhang Cong looked around and leaned into Wu Deyou's ear and whispered: "Unless there is something that can cause a crack between their monarch and his subjects!"

Wu Deyou was secretly surprised and lowered his voice and said, "What is Lord Zhang's pointing to?"

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "There is one thing right now, so it's a good thing for Xu Jin to return to Beijing at this time."

Wu Deyou suddenly realized, but immediately said suspiciously: "Xu Jin is very cunning and seems to have never stood in the party ceremony. I am afraid he won't get involved this time."

Zhang Cong said confidently: "He can do it!"

"Why?" Wu Deyou asked.

Zhang Cong's eyes flashed: "The emperor had the idea of ​​moving the divine lord of Emperor Xian to the Taimiao, but he suddenly stopped mentioning it. The official was puzzled at the time, but later he realized that Xu Jin was probably the only one who could make the emperor change his mind."

Wu Deyou suddenly said, "So that's it. Then, Xu Jin will definitely persuade the emperor to give up this idea this time when he returns to Beijing."

Zhang Cong sneered: "This time is there, and the country is now at its peak. As a generation of heroes, the emperor's determination to establish the lineage of King Xing as the orthodox royal family is as solid as a rock. Even Xu Jin can't persuade him. Now, no matter who it is, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish, Xu Jin is no exception. If Xu Jin is not jealous, and his achievements will be so great that he will shock the master... Hey!"

Wu Deyou couldn't help but feel warm when he heard this, rubbed his palms and said, "What if Xu Jin didn't get involved?"

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "If Xu Jin became a turtle, then Hu Shining and others would be disappointed with him. From then on, Xu Jin's reputation in the Shilin will plummet. In the future, I will not be able to lead the Qunren again. What does it have to do with us as a wealthy prince at home for the rest of his life?"

Wu Deyou couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Great!"

Boom...

Lightning flashed past the window, and after a moment, it started to rain heavily. Zhang Cong and Wu Deyou looked at each other and said in unison: "Great!"
Chapter completed!
