Chapter 1,129 Xiaoqian begins to retrieve her memory
"Retreat!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
When Lu Fang's rich and slightly sharp voice echoed in the Huangji Palace, hundreds of officials bowed down, shouted "Long Live Long Live" three times, and retreated outside in an orderly manner.
On the way, they still didn't dare to be disrespectful and talk too much. It wasn't until they left the Meridian Gate that the ministers started talking in twos and threes.
"I conferred the title of Dragon God. If the weather can be smooth in the coming year and there is less money for disaster relief, all the ministries will be much more relaxed!"
"It's best to pay back the salary you owe..."
"Then...I'm afraid it's a little difficult!"
"More gods need to be resurrected, and gods don't need salaries!"
"What are you thinking? There will be more money to build the temple!"
"Will the meeting still be held this morning?"
The theme of most officials is money.
Many officials had regrets on their faces.
Although the protection of gods is important and has real benefits to the country, the thoughts of court officials tend to fall more on political affairs.
Since the Strict Party took control of the government, it has been crazy about catering to the holy will, and traitors have been exploited at every level. The deficit in the national treasury has become more and more alarming. Nowadays, the officials in the various ministries and yamen in the capital have begun to lose their salaries, and it is even more conceivable that in various places
.
Therefore, Jiajing did not go to court for twelve years, but finally held a court meeting once. Officials who are not members of the strict party naturally hope that your majesty can maintain it and no longer let the cabinet act as an agent of government affairs. The subjects can have more direct communication with the emperor and change the current situation.
The Strict Party faction has reaped all the benefits, but they do not want this 95-year-old to return to the court and cause the political situation to undergo major changes.
However, at this stage, it seems that nothing will change.
Because Jiajing emphasized two things in the following court meeting.
The first thing is to repair the Dragon Temple for "Zhao Ling Peize Pu, the God of the Dragon King".
The second thing is to "keep quiet and cultivate the true essence to condense the essence to achieve the real person" to cultivate the real person's house.
Officials from various ministries took the opportunity to report many things, especially making various insinuations about the lack of money. Then they found that His Majesty was completely absent-minded. As he talked, he returned to these two things, so he could only hold back temporarily.
"I'm old... I'm really old!"
Yan Song saw this and felt relieved, but after all the hard work before, his energy was obviously low. After leaving the Meridian Gate, his legs began to tremble, as if he had taken the elixir given by the emperor.
Seeing this, Yan Shifan stopped riding in the sedan chair, called a carriage, and helped the old man inside to lie down and rest. Then he heard an old and deep voice ringing in his ears: "The Ministry of Industry must keep an eye on the Dragon Temple and Zhenren Mansion.
Don’t be careless!”
Yan Shifan's current official position is the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He knew very well what his father meant, which was to stop him from getting too involved in these two projects, so he immediately promised: "Father, don't worry, the child knows how powerful it is!"
The most conceited thing about this little pavilion boss is that he can guess the thoughts of the Emperor of Heaven. Of course he knows how much Jiajing cares about this time.
If you really want to raise the cost of another room for a concubine in this kind of project, you will definitely have endless troubles.
What can be greedy and what cannot be greedy can still be clearly distinguished!
Just thinking of the huge profit inside, Yan Shifan felt a little regretful after all. He clicked his tongue and said: "I really didn't expect that Li Shizhen could make Long Shenyan obey his orders. I underestimated him before. It seems that it is not easy to ask for medicine.
!”
Yan Song squinted his eyes and said slowly: "The appearance of this person may cause great changes in the situation of the court. We must take precautions early..."
Yan Shifan paid more attention to it, but did not go to that extent. He felt that his old age and worries were a bit unfounded: "Father, there is no need to think highly of him. Tao Zhongwen has been favored for so many years precisely because he is not involved in political affairs. Li Shizhen is no exception. Taoism
As they fight over internal affairs, how can these Taoist priests and doctors interfere with the political affairs of the court?"
Yan Song shook his hand, said no more, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.
…
Compared with the carriage of Yan's father and son, which was traveling smoothly towards Yan's mansion, Tao Shien felt an unprecedented bump in the sedan while sitting in it.
It was like his heart was in a state of turmoil, never settling down for a moment.
After finally getting out of the sedan chair in front of the house, Tao Shien couldn't wait to rush out. Looking at the Tianshi floating out, he said in a trembling voice: "Father!"
Tao Zhongwen glanced at his son and walked forward without saying a word.
The two of them entered the blessed place in the mansion one after the other and came to the retreat. Tao Zhongwen waved his dust fly and sat down calmly: "Is this urgent?"
Tao Shi'en came to the futon in front and knelt down. He actually calmed down a bit. He lowered his head and said, "My child has not been tempered enough. I am ashamed of my father's expectations..."
Tao Zhongwen looked at his dejected look and frowned: "A mere real person has beaten you into this state. You should be ashamed. Even without Li Shizhen, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on to your destiny until you become your father."
His career as a teacher is not even comparable to that of Lan Daoxing!"
Tao Shien was ashamed, but he frowned: "My father must have underestimated me. Then Li Shizhen has wisdom from the past life. He can even confuse gods and dragons. What does Lan Daoxing mean?"
Tao Zhongwen's tone was filled with disdain: "Does Ao Xue deserve to be called the Dragon God? If she didn't have the Dragon King of the Four Seas as her father, how could she be able to serve Guanyin Bodhisattva? Now the tribulation energy remains, nothing more than an appearance!"
Tao Shien was startled: "What my father means is that this Dragon God...Dragon Girl doesn't have much ability?"
Tao Zhongwen said flatly: "Of course I can't. How can a powerful god be controlled by a mortal?"
Tao Shien's eyes lit up, but when he thought about it carefully, his face became ugly: "But it is really true. Li Shizhen controls the Dragon Girl to seduce His Majesty. Wouldn't it be more difficult for us to deal with it?"
"That's the key!"
Tao Zhongwen nodded slightly, his expression completely restored to indifferent: "Don't you always want to see the Heavenly Master's Orb?"
Tao Shien straightened his back and became inexplicably nervous: "My child was just thinking that as a little Heavenly Master, he should know more about the Heavenly Master's Orb..."
Tao Zhongwen opened his five fingers slightly, and a round, golden orb rose up, illuminating the room instantly: "This is the relic of the Buddha. It has boundless light and can easily eliminate karma. If you can inherit the position of a heavenly master,
, this treasure will be passed on to you."
Tao Shien was bathed in the boundless light, feeling an indescribable sense of peace and comfort, and even subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to touch it.
However, Tao Zhongwen grasped it with five fingers, the orb disappeared, the light dissipated, and darkness crawled out from every corner again, filling the indoor space.
Tao Shi'en sighed in despair, and praised sincerely: "What a wonderful treasure! If my father has this treasure, he should make the dragon girl abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and join my side!"
Tao Zhongwen said: "Some stupid things may not know what is good or bad, and those who have residual tribulation energy cannot reason with common sense."
Tao Shi'en always felt that his father's tone when commenting on Dragon Girl was a bit too derogatory. After all, he was a god, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only say: "What does father mean?"
Tao Zhongwen said: "I will teach you how to use the orb. When the Dragon Temple is built, you can intensify the disaster on Ao Xue. Listen carefully..."
Tao Shi'en listened, and after a while he said in admiration: "It can both resolve calamities and create calamities. With this treasure, who can shake my position as the Heavenly Master of the Tao family?"
"Your Majesty has decreed the title of Dragon God and the real person. The honor and disgrace of Li Shizhen and Dragon Girl are tied together. Once Dragon Girl reveals her true face, Li Shizhen will also be inseparable!"
"Please rest assured, father, I will definitely take advantage of this period of time to practice this technique hard and give them a serious shock when the time comes!"
Tao Zhongwen waved his hand, said no more, closed his eyes, and quickly entered into practice.
…
"Grrrrrr!"
On the deck of the Kagura treasure ship, the dragon girl sat on the floor, her cheeks bulging, and a few dates rolling on her tongue.
Li Yan glanced sideways: "Don't follow Ruyi Baozhu, this is a bad habit."
The wishful pearl was about to fly over. After hearing this, she carefully drew an arc to avoid this place. The dragon girl did not follow suit anymore. She lowered her head and spit out the date core into the palm of her hand, preparing to take it back to the soil and plant it again: "No.
When will the second batch of spiritual fruits be planted? There are too few, not enough to eat..."
Li Yan also felt that there was not enough food, but he knew that with the current round-the-clock workload of ginseng fruit, producing a batch of spiritual fruits a month was already the fastest speed, and he would start from other aspects next.
His sleeves were slightly opened, and Xiaoqian floated out, rubbing the corners of his clothes: "Master, I am ready to retrieve my memory!"
Li Yan said gently: "You should always make the decision on your own affairs and not let outsiders decide. Even though you have come to the capital, I don't want to force you to search for the past. Don't be nervous."
Xiaoqian was a little embarrassed: "I'm scared when I think about going to the palace..."
Li Yan said: "You really have to be on guard against one or two."
There are endless legends about the palace. For example, the dragon chair we saw before is said to have a caisson on the top, with a dragon in relief, a ball in its mouth, a hollow copper body, and mercury coating on the outside. It is called "
Xuanyuan Mirror".
Rumor has it that it was made by Emperor Xuanyuan and hung on the throne of the emperor. It can distinguish the true and false emperors. If the person sitting on the dragon throne is a usurper of power, the "Xuanyuan Mirror" will be smashed down.
It is precisely because of this that during the enthronement ceremony, Yuan Shikai was afraid of being smashed to death, so he ordered the dragon chair to be moved back three meters. Later, because the dragon chair was high and his legs were short and it was difficult to sit on it, he ordered the dragon chair to be removed.
Change to a large chair with a high back and a very Western style.
The dragon chair was thrown into the warehouse. It was not found by the staff of the Forbidden City until ten years after the founding of New China. After restoration, it was put on display.
There is no need to believe similar rumors in the secular world, but in this kind of world, it is really hard to guarantee that they will not happen. Xiaoqian's memory has not been restored, and entering the palace rashly is equivalent to trespassing. Li Yan thought for a while and said: "Before, from the stomach of the leech
What happened to the two souls released from the bag in the picture scroll?"
Xiaoqian took a look: "That Jin Yiwei is very powerful. He is currently training a ghost team and has already entered the top four in the Merit Competition. That eunuch, he hasn't passed the novice level yet..."
Li Yan said: "Call Chen Hong out and give the Governor of Dongchang one last chance to perform meritoriously!"
