Chapter 205: His Royal Highness the King of Qin is destined to be priceless
Two major events have happened in Chang'an City recently.
The first thing is naturally the fact that Laojun frequently shows his holiness in Chang'an and randomly refreshes the fairyland passage in Chang'an City. The second thing is that His Majesty proposed to collect from the whole society what title to give Laojun.
Needless to say, the matter of the Immortal World Passage goes without saying. It is a public matter and everyone in Chang'an knows about it.
Because of this incident, more and more people are sleeping on their roofs or in their yards at night. There are also many people who stay up at night and run around despite the curfew, just hoping that they will be lucky and when Laojun descends to earth
Just by his side, he can easily slip into the passage of the immortal world, become an immortal, live freely and forever from now on.
There are also some practitioners among them.
News came out from Pingkangfang that a monk and a man in red had a fight on the spot in order to grab a good spot waiting for the passage to the immortal world. The sound was like thunder, and the kindness of many people who came to Pingkangfang to care for women who had stumbled was wiped out.
Everyone was so frightened that they fell into disarray.
But the strange thing is that this incident did not have any impact on Hualou’s business...
In fact, because there are people competing for it, everyone thinks that the probability of a passage to the fairy world is relatively high here, so it becomes even more crowded.
As for the second thing, it is even more exaggerated.
Because Tang Jian, the Vice Minister of Zhongshu, carried out His Majesty Li Yuan's wishes to the letter, he not only required all officials of the ninth rank and above in Chang'an to express their opinions on this title, but also asked officials of the seventh rank and above in all places to also
We must come up with our opinions on the title of Laojun. Even Taoist priests, great Confucians and other opposition figures in Chang'an City and even the whole world can also put forward their opinions.
But it must be well-founded, and you must state what you think the title should be, and what kind of meaning each word in it has...
One argumentative essay per person is required to be at least 500 words, and no plagiarism is allowed!
As soon as the order came out, all the civil servants were relieved, but the illiterate generals like Kakashi immediately became paralyzed.
So in the past two days, the Taoist priests who were literate in Chinese characters and proficient in the Tao Te Ching became the favorites one after another. Today one post will be posted, and tomorrow someone will send someone to invite them, hoping that these Taoist priests can help them think about it.
How should I get this title?
With the shortage of Taoist priests, even the worth of scribes is now rising.
As the new star Taoist priest in Chang'an and the head of Qingdu Temple where Laojun personally manifested his sainthood, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Kong Qing himself also received many invitations, but most of them were rejected by Kong Qing, including
Including invitations from many princes...
There was no way, His Majesty Li Yuan had granted too many princes himself, and inherited many princes from the Sui Dynasty. As a result, the Tang Dynasty was now overrun with princes. Four people were killed in the court hall with a brick, and three of them were
The Duke of the country, and the remaining one is the Duke of the county.
However, there are some people whom Kong Qing cannot recommend, such as His Highness the King of Qin.
However, His Highness the King of Qin did not seek Kong Qing because of this title. After all, the King of Qin, who had eighteen bachelors, had no guilt at all about such literal matters.
"Qingwei, you came just in time."
As soon as Kong Qing walked into the gate of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, he saw His Highness King Li Shimin of Qin coming out with a large group of people to greet him. His Highness the King of Qin even smiled and reached out to grab Kong Qing's arm.
"Come, Rong Gu will lead the way for you."
Kong Qing silently controlled his Qilin Arm, and it took a lot of effort to block King Qin's hand without reflex, and give him a counter-grab.
After all, in the Tang Dynasty, one person holding another person's wrist and interlocking their arms was a sign of intimacy, which was also known as walking arm in arm.
His Royal Highness the King of Qin's "Walking Arms" was placed in Journey to the West, which is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by the younger brother.
After entering the hall and the guests and hosts were seated, Li Shimin began to introduce his right-hand men to Kong Qing.
"Qingwei, this is Gu's brother-in-law, Changsun Wuji."
"oh……"
Kong Qing looked at the round-faced young man in front of him, who looked kind and even a little shy. There was really no way to connect him with the famous Lao Yinbi in history.
Could it be that this is the most awesome Lao Yin Bi, who often has the most harmless face?
Kong Qing did not dare to neglect such an old man, he bowed his head and looked serious.
"Pindao has met Shangdang County Lord."
"It doesn't have to be like this..."
Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Qingwei, just call me brother eldest grandson."
"..."
"I don't need to introduce this one..."
Li Shimin pointed to the scribe sitting under Changsun Wuji.
"certainly!"
Kong Qing smiled and nodded at the scribe sitting under Changsun Wuji.
"Fang Gong is as angry as a dragon and a tiger, and he will definitely be a great minister in the future. Naturally, the poor man will never forget him."
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Fang Xuanling waved her hands repeatedly, with a look of sincerity and fear on her face.
"A certain person is just a long-time historian of the Prince of Qin's palace. I don't dare to think of someone who is a very famous minister."
"Xuanling is too modest..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said unceremoniously.
"Isn't it true that my long history, Li Shimin, is not as good as those people in the court who are sitting on a plain diet? Gu and Qingwei have the same view, Xuanling..."
As he spoke, Li Shimin glanced at the confidants present.
"...There are also Wuji, Keming, Shubao and others. They are all temporary talents. Why can't they be able to become ministers of the highest rank?"
After hearing what Li Shimin said, the eyes of those present suddenly shone and they were very excited.
Kong Qing, who was sitting aside, watched coldly and found that the people present were very used to what Li Shimin said. Normally, His Highness King Qin would often feed these people chicken soup.
But the terrible thing is that not even a word of this 'reactionary speech' has been spread.
Your Highness, King Qin, governs a government as well as an army.
Next, Kong Qing met Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Li Daliang and others under the introduction of Li Shimin. After everyone present almost recognized them, Li Shimin raised his hand
Cup, and bowed to Kong Qing.
"Everyone, please drink this cup to the full!"
Everyone, including Kong Qing, raised their wine glasses.
"Drink victory!"
After drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively. The generals began to stumble around and toast each other with cups, while the scribes whispered to each other in a gentle manner.
"Hey!"
An unfamiliar voice sounded, and Kong Qing raised his head and saw a dark-faced strong man holding a wine glass, standing swaying in front of him.
"Little Taoist priest, I've heard your name before, and it's said that you are very good at fortune-telling..."
"Mr. Su Guo has given me the award..."
Kong Qing nodded slightly at the strong man in front of him.
"Actually, Pindao's divination skills may not be better than Brother Li Chunfeng's."
The surname of the Duke of Su was Cheng. Yes, he was the famous Demon King Cheng Yaojin. He was also one of the Dukes of Li Yuanfeng.
But the story about the Demon King and the Horse is all nonsense in the novel...
Cheng Yaojin was not poor at all. He did not use an axe, and he was very good at fighting. When he was fighting against Wang Shichong, he rode alone into the battle to save Pei Xingyan. After rescuing Pei Xingyan, his pursuers rushed up and pierced his body with a spear.
, he was able to endure the pain and kill the enemy, he was an absolute tough guy.
"Li Chunfeng can't..."
Cheng Yaojin held the wine glass and waved his hands carelessly.
"When someone asked him to tell someone's fortune, he always resisted. He was not happy at all."
"Yi Zhen..."
Li Shimin shouted to Cheng Yaojin from above.
"Don't mess around!"
Yes, Cheng Yaojin's nickname is Yi Zhen... But for some reason, when Kong Qing heard Li Shimin call Yi Zhen, he didn't feel at all that he was calling Cheng Yao Jin.
What's even more frightening is that even Cheng Yaojin himself didn't realize that Yi Zhen was calling him. He even shook the wine bottle in his hand and said to Kong Qing unsteadily.
"How about it? Little Taoist priest, can you do the math for us?"
Then he saw Li Shimin wink, and Qin Qiong on the side immediately stood up, walked over and dragged Cheng Yaojin away.
"Go back, Yaojin. Your algorithm is to ask others to calculate when you will get the money. No one wants to calculate it for you."
After hearing Qin Qiong's words, Kong Qing blinked silently.
When can I find the money?
If he could calculate it, wouldn't Pindao pick it up himself?
"Don't pull me..."
It seemed that Cheng Yaojin's wine was not very good, so he struggled desperately in front of Kong Qing.
"I want to do fortune telling. I heard that this little Taoist priest can do fortune telling very accurately."
But it was obvious that although Cheng Yaojin was also a strong man, he was still far inferior to a super strong man like Qin Qiong. No matter how hard he struggled, he was still dragged away by Qin Qiong.
"Young Master Yi, you don't have to be like this..."
Kong Qing stood up and smiled, as if the spring breeze was blowing on his face.
"Since Duke Su wants to do the math, let him do the math."
"Look, the little Taoist priests all agreed..."
Cheng Yaojin shook off Qin Qiong's hand, stood up straight, and said loudly, a cunning look flashed in his eyes.
"Little Taoist, please do the math. Has the Supreme Lord chosen His Highness King Qin to be the Emperor of Taiping?"
As soon as Cheng Yaojin said these words, everyone present fell silent instantly.
Looking at the uniform movements of the people present, Kong Qing understood. Whether it was Cheng Yaojin who drank too much and pretended to be crazy, or Li Shimin pretended to stop drinking, or Qin Qiong came up to take people, this was all discussed in advance by them.
of.
It's hard to say whether King Qin's purpose was to give confidence to his confidants, or whether he wanted to stand on his own side.
But Kong Qing actually doesn’t care about this matter...
Putting aside the issue of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's ability, the mere fact that Li Jiancheng's butt was always sitting next to the monk made Kong Qing feel very bad about him.
Putting aside the opposition between Buddhism and Taoism, Kong Qing will definitely continue to fight with the Fahua Sect, and finally avenge the parents of this body and send away the monks of the Fahua Sect who instigated Meng Rang's rebellion behind his back.
dead.
But can Li Da allow himself to do this after he comes to power?
"Mr. Su Guo, you are such an amateur..."
Kong Qing smiled and waved his fingers towards Cheng Yaojin.
"How powerful is your Majesty? How can I tell if this old man has chosen the King of Qin with his meager deeds?"
As soon as Kong Qing's words came out, he saw Cheng Yaojin's face darken instantly, and other people in the hall looked at him strangely, especially the military generals.
"but……"
Kong Qing raised his head and showed a bright smile to everyone around him.
"Although I don't know whether Laojun has chosen His Highness King Qin to be the Emperor of Peace, there is no doubt that His Highness King Qin has a purple aura rising into the sky and is destined to be extremely valuable in the future."
"ha!"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, everyone else in the hall also recovered their smiles, and the face of Cheng Yaojin standing in front of him quickly became brighter.
"You're right,"
Cheng Yaojin raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly.
"The King of Qin is destined to be extremely noble in the future, and he will be victorious!"
Everyone present raised their wine glasses and echoed loudly.
