In Prince Qin's palace, a certain Erfeng was sitting in the study, looking at the documents sent by Hou Junji with a look of surprise on his face.
"Surprisingly, overnight, countless ghosts dreamed that Zhang Daoyuan had become the Lord of the Underworld in Chang'an. This is really..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at a fat man with a round face sitting near him.
"Auxiliary machine, didn't Zhijie say that Fu Yi became a god after his death? Why did he become Zhang Daoyuan again?"
"this one……"
Changsun Wuji touched the short beard on his round face with his hand and said with some uncertainty.
"Perhaps the Taishi Bureau also took away Zhang Daoyuan's soul after his death, and then they became gods together. After all, Qingxiazi was the first to arrive when Zhang Daoyuan was assassinated."
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Du Ruhui on the side nodded.
"What the auxiliary machine said makes sense, that's how it should be!"
"Alas! That Qingwei is so unjust..."
After hearing this, a certain general named Cheng who was sitting on the side with his belly muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Good things like becoming gods don't come to us, our own people, but to some unscrupulous people."
"Hahaha……"
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the side, stroked his beard with his hand and laughed.
"Zhijie, you are joking. Fu Yi and Zhang Daoyuan were both conferred gods after death. Do you want to die now?"
"You are not joking!"
Cheng Yaojin said with a serious face.
"It's just a precaution. Forget about scribes like you. Generals like Ru and Shu Bao may die on the battlefield. If they know they can become gods, they won't have anything to worry about..."
"impossible!"
Sitting on the other side, Qin Qiong, whose face had returned to rosy, looked at Cheng Yaojin with a teasing smile.
"No one in the world can kill Qin on the battlefield."
Cheng Yaojin, who was choked severely by Qin Qiong, glanced at Qin Qiong with a depressed expression.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Uncle Bao, you are invincible. No one can kill you on the battlefield. But as a soldier, how can you live forever and never wait until your own death?"
After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, those present and even King Qin Li Shimin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, can these people be immortal?
After a while, Hou Junji, who was standing in the corner, spoke tentatively.
"Your Highness, I actually think what Zhijie said makes sense. For example, if I know that I can become a god after death, then even if the task assigned by you, Your Highness, is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will dare to rush in without hesitation, but
If this had not happened, even though I would obey His Highness's orders, I would inevitably be afraid."
"Hou Junji is right!"
After Hou Junji finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stroked his beard with his hand and said carefully.
"Before, I didn't know how people could become gods after death, but now that there is a precedent, then..."
"Um!"
Du Ruhui also nodded and echoed.
"Although I don't know if Qingwei can canonize other people to become gods, your Highness should still get closer to him."
…
In a restaurant in the West Market with a sign bearing the name Zhao, an old man with a mother-in-law face had a smile on his face, his head tilted, and his eyes aimlessly staring out the window of the restaurant, as if he was in a trance.
Opposite the old man, there is another old man of similar age sitting at the table. Beside the old man is a beautiful man dressed in white. At this time, she is holding a wine bottle with a smile and puts the wine in front of the old man with a mother-in-law face.
The wine glass is filled.
"Holy..."
Before the beauty dressed in men's clothing had finished speaking, she saw the old man who seemed to be in a trance raised his hand. Without looking, his fingers accurately pressed on her lips, blocking what she was about to say.
"Fourth Lady, you made a mistake again."
"Ah! Yes..."
An embarrassed smile appeared on the face of the woman dressed in men's clothing, and she raised her hand and gently pushed the old man's hand away.
"The slave made a mistake, he should be called Alang!"
"Actually..."
The old man with a mother-in-law face followed the woman's jade hand, withdrew his fingers with a smile, stroked his beard, and the index finger that was pressed on the other woman's lips rubbed under his nose very obviously, and said with a wink.
.
"Fourth Lady, you can call me husband if you want!"
The beauty in white turned her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, as if she was very shy.
"Alang is joking, Alang is rich in the world, how can he look down on a vulgar fan like the Nu family?"
"I... I'm not joking."
The old man picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"The fourth lady is so beautiful and can be said to be the beauty of the country. How can she be called vulgar?"
The old man sitting at the table opposite the two of them looked at the affectionate interaction between the two in front of him, and silently picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
Sure enough, things still slipped towards the place that I least wanted.
This good friend of mine still has a crush on my cheap niece who has a lot of problems...
Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince has finished handling the affairs in Hebei and is on his way back to Chang'an. Pei Ju, who is accompanying the Crown Prince, will soon be back, so he will be able to throw away this hot chestnut soon.
Even if something goes wrong with this cheap niece, it will be Pei Ju's responsibility.
Anyway, my good friend has dragon energy to protect his body, so there should be no problem... right?
In Pei Ji's random thoughts, he heard his cheap niece Pei Xinru say.
"Then...Alang, what were you thinking about just now? You were so absorbed in it."
"Oh, I'm not thinking about anything,"
Li Yuan, who was 'visiting privately', looked down at Pei Xinru, who was holding a wine bottle and refilling his drink, and said casually.
"I just occasionally heard someone talking about something next door, so I didn't feel like I was distracted."
"oh!"
Before Pei Xinru could speak, Pei Ji quickly asked from the side.
"I don't know what I'm talking about that makes you so entranced?"
"This thing is a strange thing to say..."
After hearing his good friend's question, Li Yuan immediately said enthusiastically.
"Just now, the man next door said that he dreamed last night that his dead parents came back together and told him that Zhang Daoyuan and Zhang Qing have now become the gods of Chang'an and are in charge of the entire underworld of Chang'an. He asked him to go and worship Zhang Qing this morning.
Incense, so that his Aye can be a minor official in Zhang Qing’s underworld... Hahaha, this dear man must not know that Zhang Qing never accepts bribes."
"What, Zhang Daoyuan has become a god?"
When Pei Xinru on the side heard the news, she was instantly shocked.
"How can this be?"
"yes!"
After hearing Li Yuan's words, Pei Ji also showed surprise on his face.
"Zhang Daoyuan has actually become a god, and is still in charge of my Chang'an underworld... How is this possible? Is this delusional man confused by his sleep, so he is talking nonsense?"
"I thought so at the beginning..."
Li Yuan continued enthusiastically.
"But the guy who said this said that when he went to Qingdu Temple this morning to offer incense to Zhang Qing, he found that the entire Qingdu Temple was packed with people. When he asked, he found out that all those people died at home.
My elders told me in their dreams that Zhang Qing has become my god in Chang'an, so they went to offer incense to Zhang Qing."
"Qingdu View?"
After hearing the name, Pei Ji blinked silently.
"Why is it this place again..."
"yes!"
When talking about the Qingdu Temple, Li Yuan also thought of a Taoist priest in white among them, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"It feels like a lot of things have happened in Qingdu Temple this year."
Unlike Li Yuan and Pei Ji, who regarded this matter as a show of excitement, Pei Xinru, who was sitting next to them, was shocked when she heard the news.
"That dead ghost Zhang Daoyuan has actually become a god. What should I do?"
At this moment, as a gust of fragrant wind drifted by, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, who had tidied up neatly, walked in from the outside holding a tray with three cups of something like soup on it.
"The altar is open and the fragrance of meat is wafting around, and the Buddha hears abandoning Zen and jumps over the wall. Dear guests, this is the latest new product in our store, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"
"Um……"
Li Yuan shrugged his nose, smelled the aroma coming from the air, took a swallow of saliva, and said with a smile.
"Before, I just heard from you, Pei Qing, that Buddha jumped over the wall. Now when I see it, it is really fragrant and makes people want to eat. It is indeed a delicious food."
"of course!"
The eldest lady of the Zhao family said proudly.
"There are countless precious ingredients in this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, including delicacies from mountains and seas, including birds and animals. They are soft and tender, rich in meaty aroma, meaty but not greasy, and have a savory taste. If this Pei Lang hadn't been a regular customer in my shop, it would be like
The three of you who came so late won't be able to buy it at all."
"Hahaha……"
After hearing what Mrs. Zhao said, Li Yuan laughed happily, and then looked at Pei Ji.
"So, I have to thank you, Mr. Pei. I didn't expect that this time I went to...Chang'an, not only did I hear anecdotes about Zhang Daoyuan, but I also got to eat such delicious food."
"Zhang Daoyuan?"
The eldest lady of the Zhao family placed the three pottery cups on the tray in front of Li Yuan, Pei Ji and Pei Xinru one after another, and said casually.
"Are these distinguished guests talking about the servant Zhang who was assassinated not long ago? He was really a blessing in disguise. He became a god in one step. After his death, he was directly appointed by Taishang Taozu as the City God of Xijing, and he has jurisdiction over all the ghosts in our Chang'an City.
Ghost."
"Yeah?"
After hearing what the eldest lady of the Zhao family said, Li Yuan suddenly became interested.
"Madam, how do you know that Zhang Daoyuan was appointed by Tai Shang Yuan... Dao Ancestor to become a god?"
"Of course I know..."
After putting down the last pottery cup, the eldest lady of the Zhao family straightened up and said with a proud face.
"After all, Qingwei, the leader of the Qingdu Temple, calls the Nu family sister, so the Taoist priests in his temple don't hide anything from the Nu family."
"oh!"
After hearing this, Li Yuan, who had a smile on his face, frowned for an instant. Then he raised his head and took a serious look at the neatly dressed beautiful woman in front of him, and his face became a lot gloomier.
"This Qingwei is still doing these things outside after having my third wife!"
