Chapter 613 The court and the celestial phenomenon
Zuodu Yushifu.
Cen Wendao, who was on the hospital bed, had a slight smile on his lips.
Everything is going according to his original plan.
Every step was carefully calculated by him, and every small link was completed perfectly.
This strategy of his seems to have achieved quite good results.
Although he suffered some pain for this, in Cen Wendao's opinion, it was completely worth it.
Because at this moment, he has completely thrown the situation into chaos.
Under the premise that the government situation is in chaos, Cen Wendao can achieve his goal of fishing in troubled waters.
Prince, Prince, although you have thought carefully, you never imagined that I would use such a move against you, right?
Cen Wendao came up with this strategy after thinking about it for a long time, and the effect can be said to be quite good.
As long as the strategy is used properly, the results will be quite perfect.
At this point in time, Cen Wendao has indeed achieved his expectations.
Of course, he really didn't know what Emperor Xianlong would do next.
After all, Emperor Xianlong is the Son of Heaven, and the emperor's mind is the most difficult to fathom.
Emperor Xianlong could make some incredible decisions, because he was the emperor, so any decision he made was reasonable.
As a minister, you cannot question your father's decision, you can only obey the imperial decree.
But there is still a lot of space that can be utilized.
In fact, Cen Wendao has always been playing games in these small gaps and spaces, striving to achieve the results that are most beneficial to His Highness King Qi.
As the leader and mainstay of the Qi Wang Party, Cen Wendao must shoulder his own responsibilities as much as possible.
The fight for the throne has always been extremely cruel and unrelenting.
For Cen Wendao, operations within this time period must ensure that no problems occur.
Because whenever he reveals any flaw, it will be fatal if his opponent catches him.
No one can withstand such tremendous pressure, not even Cen Wendao.
As the Yushi of Zuodu, he was in charge of the Yushitai and commanded a group of Kedao Yanguan.
In fact, these politicians rely on words to criticize political opponents.
Although sometimes the evidence is slightly insufficient, it does not matter much.
Because of the custom of this dynasty, the Yushi Yanguan could hear the news and report the matter.
What is rumor?
This means that officials can be impeached without factual evidence.
This gave the censors great power.
Once you have this power, everything becomes quite simple.
As the censor of Zuodu, Cen Wendao knew very well how huge this power was.
As long as he is willing, he can rely on this power to cause a huge blow to his opponents.
Of course, there is still a prerequisite for this, which is the emperor's approval.
As long as Emperor Xianlong releases an obvious signal, the sensitive Cen Wendao can catch it immediately and send his capable generals to take turns to impeach the prince Li Xiankun and the court officials of the East Palace.
It is impossible for a person who is an official in the court to say that he has no dirty information at all.
No matter who you are, there will always be some dirty stuff.
It just depends on whether you want to catch him and beat him to death.
No matter what the situation, Cen Wendao always has his own set of rules of conduct.
As long as he is willing, he can achieve good results.
After so many years of ups and downs in officialdom, Cen Wendao understood a very important truth.
That is, never show your weaknesses to others easily.
If possible, be sure to hide your weaknesses.
In this case, no matter what kind of duel, you can have a certain advantage.
Although this may seem a bit difficult at first glance, the actual results achieved are actually quite good.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the King of Qi and the Prince are tit for tat.
The members of the Qi royal party and the princelings were also fighting fiercely.
At times like this, what actually matters most is the details.
A single mistake in detail may completely ruin an otherwise good situation.
So the time has come to test Cen Wendao.
As the leader of the Qi King's Party, he must come up with something unique.
Cen Wendao possesses this strength and also possesses this powerful power.
As long as he puts his mind to it, all these things can be done with just a few clicks of his fingers.
but...
Again.
Everything depends on Emperor Xianlong's attitude.
If Emperor Xianlong still does not make his position clear, it will be difficult for Cen Wendao's next plan to continue to be implemented.
He will not take action blindly, because the effect of taking action blindly is very poor, and it is also likely to set him on fire, leading to an irreversible end.
This is unbearable for ordinary people.
Cen Wendao has experienced so much and has long developed a very patient temperament.
For him, what he gained at this point in time was enough to make him more comprehensive and cautious.
Cen Wendao's success today is inseparable from the support of King Li Xiang of Qi.
So he risked his life to help King Qi win the throne.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Cen Wendao's mouth.
In his opinion, all this was within his plan.
As long as there are no more accidents, there is nothing to worry about.
Let’s wait and see what happens next. Cen Wendao firmly believes that the princelings will not be able to hold on.
...
...
Emperor Xianlong sat cross-legged on the futon alone and entered a state of meditation.
If you want to quickly improve your cultivation realm, it is obviously the best and fastest way.
After entering the meditative state, Emperor Xianlong was able to block out his distracting thoughts instantly.
In an environment of absolute emptiness, he could only think about spiritual matters.
In his vast sea of consciousness, Emperor Xianlong could roam endlessly.
This is what he most wants to see.
Emperor Xianlong was obviously more willing to practice spiritual practice than the complicated and trivial matters in the court.
Because practicing can help him increase his strength and help him move towards a higher realm.
If you could ascend to fairyland, everything would change dramatically.
At that time, Emperor Xianlong no longer needed to worry about anything, and he could start his new life to his heart's content.
Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, he can reach the state of unity between nature and man.
Compared with truly becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality, compared with ascending to transcend tribulations, this may be the most convenient way.
If Emperor Xianlong couldn't even master this method, he would basically never meet an immortal.
But with his character, he will definitely fight hard for it.
Even if there was only a glimmer of opportunity left, Emperor Xianlong would not miss it.
The control of these details is enough to make Emperor Xianlong more powerful.
Compared to the beginning, Emperor Xianlong entered meditation much faster now.
And he can also face meditation in a more indifferent way.
At this stage, Emperor Xianlong could expand his sea of consciousness wider.
This way he can enjoy the whole process more.
Easier said than done.
Even for such a small change, Emperor Xianlong made great efforts.
However, after coming to a new realm, Emperor Xianlong discovered that all this was still very simple.
In this process, he is constantly strengthening his knowledge.
Emperor Xianlong now somewhat understood what Master Huiyan said to him.
The general rule is no pain, the general rule is no pain.
Sometimes Emperor Xianlong would feel that some of his acupuncture points were very sore. That was because he had not completely opened up the meridians, so he had this painful feeling.
But after he opened up the meridians and his breath became smoother, there would be no more pain.
Emperor Xianlong at this stage has obviously been sublimated. Although he is still far from being a figure like Master Huiyan, for him personally, it is actually a great breakthrough.
In practice, constant summarization is very important.
If you only know how to practice silently, you will not be able to obtain very good results.
Even though Emperor Xianlong was the supreme emperor, this point still needs great attention.
Otherwise, everything will become very difficult after falling into a dilemma.
After some breathing and conditioning, Emperor Xianlong immediately entered a state of fugue and trance.
In this state, he can feel an ecstatic feeling to the greatest extent.
He felt like he had an out-of-body experience.
Although this feeling was not that strong, Emperor Xianlong still felt it.
Not bad, as long as we try our best to grasp this feeling and carry it forward in the future, then Emperor Xianlong is still very hopeful that he can go further.
The road to spiritual practice is long and certainly not an easy task.
But in Emperor Xianlong's view, this was not that difficult.
As long as he is willing to work hard, it is still possible to break through his limits.
Emperor Xianlong was always trying.
Ever since Master Huiyan gave him instructions, Emperor Xianlong had already learned some tricks.
Although it is inevitable that some deviations will be taken, overall it is still within the controllable range.
If something really went wrong, Master Huiyan would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it.
With just a few gentle instructions, Emperor Xianlong could deal with it calmly.
This process is actually quite simple.
Emperor Xianlong had reached a very peaceful state through his accumulation of advantages. For him, all he needed to do during this period was to maintain stability.
Seeking progress while maintaining stability is the experience summed up by Emperor Xianlong during this period.
As long as he gets rid of distracting thoughts, he is still likely to achieve improvement.
As for the miscellaneous matters in the court, Emperor Xianlong really didn't care that much.
In his opinion, the prince's fight with the King of Qi did not touch his bottom line.
So Emperor Xianlong didn't need to worry about anything.
Just let all this proceed naturally.
When it was time for Emperor Xianlong to intervene, he would certainly do so without hesitation.
...
...
Qin Tianjian.
Yuan Tiangang is observing the sky.
In fact, he doesn't really like doing it.
Because observing astronomical phenomena requires taking great risks, if you don't do it right, you may suffer backlash, or even be punished by heaven.
Once he is punished by God, he may end up in a state of despair.
This is something that any practitioner may face.
Even if you are a powerful master, you still cannot escape this risk.
After all, in front of God, even the most powerful practitioners are no different than ants.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang would not easily start to spy on the sky unless he had to.
This does require taking a huge risk, so you must be cautious.
The reason why he had to take huge risks today to observe the sky and get a glimpse of the way of heaven was actually helpless.
Because this is the decree issued by Emperor Xianlong.
Emperor Xianlong's imperial edict was very sudden and left no room for negotiation.
If it was just an oral instruction, Yuan Tiangang might still be able to shirk it.
But this time it was a serious imperial edict. If Yuan Tiangang resisted the edict, he would have slapped Emperor Xianlong in the face.
So no matter how reluctant he was, Yuan Tiangang could only do it.
His apprentice Li Chunfeng waited respectfully on the side.
In this way, even if any accident occurs, Li Chunfeng can respond immediately.
This is actually very important.
Because no one knows what will happen, not even Yuan Tiangang himself.
There is nothing wrong with planning for a rainy day.
Yuan Tiangang looked at it very seriously. What he saw at first was a black cloud.
All he needs to do is see through the dark clouds to see many key things.
This feeling of clearing the clouds and seeing the sun is actually quite magical.
Yuan Tiangang's Taoism is very profound, so he has encountered basically all kinds of situations.
He can protect himself very well when faced with threats.
This is also the reason why he can be in charge of the Taoist sect for many years.
Another person might not be able to achieve such an achievement.
For Yuan Tiangang, all the efforts he made at this point in time were for Taoism.
Especially when Buddhism from the Western Regions invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, the living space of Taoism has actually been greatly squeezed.
Therefore, Yuan Tiangang has to work hard and forge ahead.
If he is unable to maintain the Taoist sect's basic base through his own efforts under such circumstances, the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions will become even more confident in the future.
This is what Yuan Tiangang does not want to see anyway.
Therefore, he must maintain a basic cooperative relationship with Emperor Xianlong at this point in time.
It is not necessary to kneel down and lick like Master Huiyan, but at least you have to face it.
Otherwise, it is likely to lead the Tao Sect into the abyss.
When you sit in Yuan Tiangang's position, you can't just think about yourself.
Yuan Tiangang must have a big mind and a big responsibility.
So he can make compromises when necessary.
It's just that he also has his own bottom line. If his bottom line is exceeded, he will never take another step back.
