The great victory of the Western Army attracted the attention of the Tang people. They no longer acted aggressively, but sent people to the Hengshan area to find out the strength of the Western Army.
It caused a war, especially between the two great powers of the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was by no means just about the two countries, but it shocked the Six Dynasties.
If we cannot cut through the knot quickly and fall into a quagmire, other forces will intervene.
Chang'an, Tai Chi Hall.
Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon throne, feeling very good.
Since the proposal to build the Daming Palace for his father Li Yuan to live, the gossip in the court and among the people has been reduced by most. Don't think that the emperor can't hear what officials and people say. The royal family keeps so many eagle dogs, and they are not used as bodyguards.
In the palace, Yu Shinan, who was sitting on a chair, looked very pleased with Li Shimin.
Ever since he went to Bianliang, he felt that his emperor was an example of a wise king. He really wondered why he always disliked him and always wanted to find fault with His Majesty.
"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, did not look like a human king, and the prime minister Cai Jing and his like were not virtuous ministers. I thought that the day of civil strife in the Song Dynasty was not far away. It is not appropriate for our dynasty to send troops at this time. Once we send troops, the Song Dynasty will
People may be able to put aside their internal fighting spirit and instead share the same hatred with the enemy, which is not good for me.”
Li Shimin pondered and said: "I have always asked the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty, who were weak and incompetent, and often used 'year coins' to seek peace. I have recently built the Daming Palace for the Supreme Emperor, and the national treasury is somewhat tight. Can you intimidate the people of Song Dynasty and solve my urgent need?"
Yu Shinan nodded and said: "This is not difficult!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed. He had been short of money recently and even thought of cutting corners.
But once someone discovers it, he will probably be punished verbally and verbally.
Although Li Shimin was an emperor who cared about the people and finances, in the original time and space, he really spent a lot of money to build the Daming Palace for his biological father.
The location of the Daming Palace is also very particular. It is adjacent to the Royal Forbidden Garden and the Weishui River to the north, to the north of Chang'an City to the south, and to the northeast corner of the palace city to the west.
A mountain plain symbolizing the dragon's veins runs north from Fanchuan in the southwest of Chang'an and spans sixty miles. When it reaches this place, it is called the "Dragon's Head". Because of the high terrain, it is called the Dragon's Head Plain.
Such a huge palace complex would of course cost a lot of money. After Li Shimin came to power, he governed the world with civility, practiced strict economy, encouraged farming and mulberry cultivation, and achieved recuperation and peace for the country and the people.
The rebellious Tibetan tribe in Xiwudong costs money;
There is a severe drought in Fengxiang County. It takes money to relieve the victims and resettle the people;
Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, and Liu Deyu, the general of the Youwu Guard, rebelled and needed money;
It costs money to build water conservancy projects, build bridges and roads, and prosper trade routes.
Building such a palace was obviously at odds with his administrative policies. It would be great if the Song Dynasty was willing to take advantage of this.
It's a pity that Li Yu was not captured. I heard that he built the best garden in the Song Dynasty for the Song Emperor in three days.
The garden's cornices and arches were extremely luxurious, which just met his requirements. The key was that he didn't need money, and he didn't need to waste people's efforts. Although Li Shimin came from a noble family, he was still quite frugal after becoming emperor.
He secretly thought that if Li Yu was captured and brought to Chang'an, he could give him thirty days as long as he quickly built a Daming Palace.
Even if he wants to write off old debts, it is still a worthwhile deal. Although Li Shimin worships Buddhism, his worship of Buddhism is for political considerations, not his original intention.
Therefore, he didn't have much hatred for Li Yu. The reason why he insisted on arresting him was just to give an explanation to the Chang'an Buddhist Sect.
Otherwise, if Li Yu really touched the Tang emperor's evil side, he would not be able to live so comfortably.
The national power of the Tang Dynasty is no joke. There are countless "eagle dogs" in the palace. If they were really released to cause trouble for Li Yu, even ten serious sects would not be enough.
"Don't worry about anything. Don't bother me. If you love me, don't bother to go to Bianliang again. This time I only need to ask for 800,000 coins and 1 million pieces of silk next year. It will be considered a success."
Yu Shinan smiled inwardly, it was obvious that His Majesty was not acting on a whim, he had done his homework.
The annual coins given to the Khitan by the Song Dynasty were a little more than this, and should be within the acceptable range of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.
To be able to calculate the number so accurately and blurt out, it seems that the emperor of his own country has been thinking about the treasury of the Song Dynasty for more than a day or two.
"I obey the decree."——
It’s another year, and the city of Bianliang is decorated with lanterns and colors to celebrate the new year.
Li Yu looked at the deserted mountain gate and felt a little uncomfortable.
Many people in the Zhengjing sect have already served in the Western Army, and it won't hinder their cultivation anyway.
Others went to Yang Zhi and participated in the containment of Fang La. After all, this was the life and death enemy of our sect.
What Li Yu fears most seems to be the Ming Cult, because they are just like him, elusive, and their methods are strange and powerful.
So far, the thing that has driven Li Yu into the most embarrassing situation and the closest to death is Fang La taking action personally and fighting Li Yu in the ancient temple, forcing him to pretend to be dead and escape.
Buddhist Li Yu is not afraid. They have already started civil strife and probably have no time to deal with him.
As for Southern Xinjiang, Li Yu is not afraid. Although they seem to be the strongest on paper, Southern Xinjiang is so big and the various tribes are independent. They are not as efficient as the Ming Cult in enforcing orders and prohibitions.
Secondly, I took Qiong Ying's Yuan Hong, which is invulnerable to all poisons and can be transformed by hundreds of poisons. I am already immune to most of the attacks from the Witch Temple.
In the bamboo forest in the back mountain, Li Yu sat cross-legged under the tree, strengthening the many formations he had set up as usual.
A faint breath of fresh air lingered above his head, and a line of light flickered from his fingertips from time to time.
Li Yu is not very worried about himself now, he is more concerned about the safety of his disciples. After tempering his body with witchcraft power, Li Yu's body has become a hidden skill for him.
But in the Zhengjing sect, all the elites are out, Lu Lingqi is not there; Yang Zhi is not there; Li Jun is not there; Shi Jin is not there
Basically, those who can fight are not there, only some Huang Xin, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian and others are left.
He turned his hand over, and the Panlong crutch appeared in his palm. Li Yu inserted the crutch of the Antarctic Immortal into the earth beneath him.
Since he didn't come looking, there are two possibilities. One is that the noble man in Antarctica forgets things and doesn't remember his dragon crutch;
The second is that he is afraid and does not dare to make trouble in the human world.
No matter which one it was, Li Yu no longer cared about it. He stretched out his hand and patted it, and the halo of his palm fell on the exposed top of Panlong's crutch.
This crutch began to slowly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a boundless wood spirit and injecting it into the main formation of the Zhengjing Gate.
The Antarctic Immortal, using the power of the wood spirits of heaven and earth, condensed the crutch into its original form, and returned to this land.
Then Li Yu took out the flame crystal, took out a drop of dragon's blood, and dripped it onto the light shield.
The arrogant power of the dragon clan surged in the formation and quickly spread throughout the formation.
The disciples of the Zhengjing Sect raised their heads curiously, feeling that the sky was a bit strange today. At this moment, these disciples did not know that from today on, they would hear a dragon roar from time to time.
Li Yu stood up with satisfaction, looking at his results, feeling proud.
Even if someone wants to deal with the Zhengjing Sect, the disciples in the sect have a way to defend themselves. If this set of chain formations is used properly, it can withstand dozens of masters.
He was just about to brag, but when he looked around, there was no one there, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Good formation."
A Taoist priest walked out of the bamboo forest and smiled as he walked.
"Palace Master, why are you here?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
When Lin Lingsu walked up to him just now, he realized that it seemed that Lao Lin's strength was much higher than his own.
Li Yu, who was a little complacent just now, was immediately beaten mercilessly by reality, which made him sober up a little.
There are too many powerful people in this world, and I am nothing.
When Li Yu was comparing in his mind, Lin Lingsu was looking at the bottom of the mountain. There was only a formal gate, but there were eighteen large formations and thirty-six small formations.
The power of the five elements is used for convenience, which is willfulness.
He coughed lightly and said, "Last time you asked me about my vaginal body, now I have some clues."
"Oh?" Li Yu suddenly became excited and even blushed, "What's the explanation?"
"An old friend of mine came to pay New Year's greetings. During the conversation, he occasionally mentioned that he had listened to Patriarch Chunyang's sermons in Huashan Mountain, and he mentioned that he had a solution."
"Lingbao real person Lu Dongbin?"
Lin Lingsu nodded.
Li Yu sighed and said: "He is a land god. He is unpredictable. Where can I find him? And even if I find him, people may not teach me."
"Anyway, that's all I know. The rest is up to you."
Lin Lingsu rarely gossiped for a while, then coughed and said, "Are you really not afraid of Zhou Yu and Sun Quan?"
"What does it have to do with them?"
"After all, you are my concubine and the emperor's wife."
Li Yu scratched his head and said: "They are all people who are doing big things. They shouldn't care about these little things like the love between children, right?"
Lin Lingsu laughed and said: "Back then, Sun Ce went to Jiangdong, broke through the Lujiang River, and kidnapped the two daughters of the Qiao family. Outsiders thought that they were responsible for the sisters' beauty, but there were also rumors that the Qiao family had a big secret that related to the entire family.
Jiangdong."
Li Yu's face looked ugly.
Lin Lingsu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Anyway, you should be more careful."
"fine."
Li Yu said firmly: "In the worst case, we'll have to fight with them."
Zhou Yu and Sun Quan have nothing to be afraid of. Soochow has offended Yan Shi. At worst, they will take a detour in the future. How dare they come to Bianliang to kill me?
They don't dare, right?
They shouldn't dare
Lin Lingsu saw Li Yu's uncertain expression and knew at a glance that he had frightened the child. She asked with a smile: "Are you still going to find Master Chunyang?"
"Look, what am I afraid of?"
"He's a man!"
Li Yu chuckled and said: "With the Palace Master protecting me, if you and I join forces, the children of Soochow have nothing to be afraid of."
"Why does this still have my business?" Lin Lingsu waved her hand and said: "Zhou Gongjin of the Eastern Wu Dynasty was a high-ranking figure in the Six Dynasties. He held a high position and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. He once showed great power in the battle of Chibi, and was poor.
Dao is just a Taoist priest who makes elixirs for His Majesty, but he is really powerless."
Li Yu laughed and stopped talking about the matter. He was afraid that he would scare himself so much that he would not be able to stand up when he really had the chance to face Xiao Qiao.
Just when his thoughts were endlessly divergent, Lin Lingsu looked around and said: "Isn't your serious sect very lively? Why is it so deserted this year? When I first came here, I thought I was at Yuanmiao Mountain."
Li Yu sighed and said: "Everyone has something to do and everyone is busy with their own affairs. I also have to prepare and go to chat with Lu Zu."
Lin Lingsu glanced at Li Yu. This man was really hopeless. He was greedy for money, treasure and sex. Everything seemed to be more valuable than his life.
But if you think about it carefully, although he is greedy, there are really no critical moments where his life is on the line. Every time, he dances on the tip of the knife, pulls chestnuts from the fire, and still escapes intact.
"Although Lu Zu often helped the world and saved people, everyone from high-ranking officials to beggars and prostitutes received his enlightenment. But he actually had a cave, which was located between the Blue Water Dan Mountain and was known as the Nine Peaks."
"Then I'll wait and wait?"
Lin Lingsu smiled and said: "He has been away for eight or nine out of ten years. If you want to wait, go and try your luck."
"Forget it, I've never been very lucky." Li Yu said, "Where else does he often go?"
Lin Lingsu pondered for a moment and said: "Lu Zu has a close relationship with the Fuyao ancestor Chen Tuan, and the ancestor Chen Tuan sits in Huashan all year round and never goes down the mountain. You can go there to have a look and pay a visit to our Great Song Dynasty Taoist Gate.
This is the mountain rock."
"This is more reliable." Li Yu said with a smile: "Fuyaozi is also an old man. His cultivation should have reached the realm of Sanxian, right?"
Lin Lingsu nodded and said: "Fuyaozi has four great spells, which are used all over the world without a single defeat. They are: Zhixuan Tu, Xiantian Tu, Xiantian Tu, and Wuji Tu."
Li Yu secretly thought in his heart, it seems that he practiced Jindan and Fuzhuan, two of the three major Taoist arts, except for the room, all others have reached the realm of enlightenment. No wonder Lin Lingsu admired him so much, and even regarded him as the Taoist gate of the Song Dynasty.
.
This kind of old loose immortal who has been famous for a long time has bottomless cultivation and can kill heavenly immortals at every turn.
"What should I bring?"
"What's the meaning?"
"As the saying goes, if you go into the temple to pick up a pig's head and visit an old-timer like Fuyaozi, do you go empty-handed?"
Lin Lingsu frowned, squinted at Li Yu, and asked, "What did you bring with you when you went to Yuanmiao Mountain?"
Li Yu smiled and said: "Palace Master, please stop joking. I was very poor at that time. I had nothing but my life. Where can I find treasures to honor you, old man?"
Lin Lingsu chuckled and said: "You don't need to bring anything. Fuyao likes to give guidance to the younger generations. You have achieved such a high level and have such cultivation at such a young age. He definitely wants to meet you."
."
"Really or not?" Li Yu was not fooled by these words and asked with doubt on his face.
"Haha, even if it's fake, he will still meet you just because of your identity as the successor of Taiping Tao."
"I'm not too"
Halfway through the words, Li Yu couldn't say anything anymore. Isn't the quasi-great sage the successor of Taiping Tao?
I have learned all the Taiping Qing Ling Shu, but just because Old Man Zhang doesn’t allow me to become a disciple, I am no longer a Taiping Taoist?
To be honest, my identity as the successor of Taiping Dao is more upright and popular than that of Old Man Zhang himself.
Besides, it would be hypocritical to say that I am not from Taiping Dao.
