Returning to Haoran, Chen Ping'an immediately used his magical power to put away the huge dharma image that represented the heaven and the earth. His body gradually shrank, like a big mountain, like a mountain peak, and finally condensed into a one-foot-long golden body.
As his figure floated above the sea of clouds, Chen Ping'an and the Confucian sage sitting on the sky of Aquarius Continent bowed and saluted, "I left in a hurry earlier and didn't have time to report to the master. I'm sorry for this junior."
The old master waved his hand and said with a smile: "What happened? I didn't see anything."
Xie Gou’s eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. Is this okay? Our mountain master is such a big statue, so he flew all the way in front of your eyes. What didn’t you see?
Chen Pingan laughed dumbly. He originally thought that the old master would be polite and not follow suit. Chen Pingan was silent for a moment, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, junior."
The old master nodded and understood.
Xie Gou, who had gained experience, felt that he still had to stay with the mountain master and learn a lot of things.
The old master kept a straight face, suppressed his laughter, and said nothing. He just gave a thumbs up to the new Grand Master of Da Li. Well done!
He is worthy of being a close disciple of the old scholar. He is truly better than his master.
At that time, the old scholar just ran to the border between the two worlds, stretched his neck and threatened to let Yu Dou chop him. But the student just carried his sword and went to Bai Yujing to chop people.
He never lives alone, and either makes great achievements on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, or goes to the Qingming world to show off his power. Such young people are fortunate to be our Confucian scholars. How happy.
Xie Gou bowed to the old master and said goodbye. The old master was stunned and said frankly: "Bai Jing, don't learn this. You are comfortable, but I am awkward."
Xie Gou laughed loudly and took out a booklet from his sleeve, "I must be very knowledgeable, I beg you to help me with my eyes..."
As a result, the owner of the mountain held down his mink hat, so Xie Gou had no choice but to put the booklet back into his sleeve, clasped his fists and said, "The mountains will remain green and the water will flow forever. We will see you in the future."
The old master nodded and said with a smile: "I have nothing to give as a gift, so I wish fellow Taoist Bai Jing to make further progress."
Xie Gou wrinkled his nose and scratched his face, "Now I know how uncomfortable Master feels."
The old master smiled and said: "It is more difficult to deal with scholars. I don't know which words will offend the scholars, and I don't know which words will make them understand."
Xie Gou nodded vigorously and looked back at her landscape travel notes. You can borrow this, but you must borrow it.
With a flash of golden light, this extremely refined golden body of more than ten feet passed through the layers of clouds and returned to its true form in an instant.
Chen Pingan, who was wearing court uniform, walked out of the empty hall, crossed the threshold, took a deep breath, and looked back at where he was standing.
Previously, Xie Gou was told to return directly to Luopo Mountain. Chen Pingan habitually walked alone on the way to the imperial study with his hands in his sleeves.
Today's Imperial Study Room Umrah was more crowded than before, with many chairs already sitting next to adjacent chairs.
Wu Wangcheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, who had just qualified to participate in the small court meeting, could find very interesting clues just by looking at who put both arms on the handle of the chair.
When the Imperial Master Chen Ping'an took his seat, there was only one empty seat in the Imperial Study Room, and it belonged to Luo King Song Mu.
Song Mu came to the capital of Dali temporarily from the wild world. By coincidence, intentionally or unintentionally, the most powerful vassal king of the Dali Dynasty missed the celebration and court meeting.
Emperor Song He asked: "There is news from the Qintian Prison, is it true that the Imperial Master is already here?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "We have reached the Ascension Realm."
All the important officials in the room were all breathing heavily.
What's going on, just by participating in the morning dynasty, it turned into an ascension state?! Although it is impossible to find out the truth, it doesn't matter, it's a great thing, we, Dali, are really blessed with a double happiness!
Song He was the first to stand up and congratulate, and naturally all the ministers followed His Majesty the Emperor to congratulate the young Imperial Master.
Chen Ping'an stood up, and when His Majesty the Emperor sat down, there was a member of the Song clan who had rarely attended a meeting in the Imperial Study Room in recent years. The old man subconsciously followed him and sat down, but suddenly realized something was wrong, so he bent down and used the corners of his eyes.
Just look at the young Imperial Master who was slowly sitting down. After the latter sat down, the old man slowly sat down, intertwined his fingers, palms facing up, and put his elbows comfortably on the handle of the chair. However, he found that Chen Guoshi was looking at
When he came over, the old man calmly lowered his elbows.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Your Majesty, let's continue with our previous agenda."
While speaking, Chen Pingan glanced at Xu Tong, who was sitting next to the old man of the clan. The left minister of the Ministry of War hesitated for a moment, but still raised his left elbow and placed it on the handle of the chair.
Chen Ping'an pulled on his court robe and crossed his legs.
Emperor Song He said with a smile: "Last time I invited Mr. Chen to become a national advisor, Mr. Chen was sitting like this. Well, the boots have been changed. Last time they were cloth shoes, and this time they are court boots."
The room burst into laughter.
Formal discussion.
Compared with the silence above the main hall, Chen Ping'an was more talkative here and rarely made any conclusions. He would also carefully ask the reasons for some questions and often exchange questions and answers with others.
Cui Chan was sitting on that chair back then. Although he could not be said to be sitting upright or smiling, Cui Chan rarely showed others the kind of... tolerance that Chen Ping'an did.
Every time Cui Chan talks about something, he is always clear and coherent, with precise wording. He often talks about both the overall situation and the details, explaining the steps of a thing in a coherent and clear manner.
Everyone, including His Majesty the Emperor, knew very well that the embroidered tiger was trying to accommodate them.
If he's in a good mood, Cui Chan will occasionally make jokes that others would have to think through several times to figure out.
Shen Shen, the minister of the Ministry of War, is already an octogenarian. He is indeed very old. He knows that he will not sit in this chair many times. Xu Tong and Wu Wangcheng are involved in the affairs of the Ministry of War. There can be no mistakes, so the old man remembered some things.
Stories about old friends that happened here but are destined not to be spread. For example, the old owner of that chair, Xiuhu, once asserted that Dali needed to be prepared for a last-ditch battle in advance. Either Dadu in the middle, or Bao
The vast sea between Pingzhou and Beiju Luzhou. The implication of Cui Chan's words is very obvious. Not only Laolongcheng in the southernmost part of Yizhou and Dalipai in the middle need a vassal to guard it, but also the emperor
His Majesty also has
He may have to guard the capital and a place in the far north... When Cui Chan said these words, there was an indescribable self-confidence in him. No, it was called arrogance. It was probably because of this that others dared to rest assured.
After the small court meeting, the emperor walked a long way with the imperial advisor.
After that, the important ministers returned to the Yamen respectively. Shen Chen suddenly quickened his pace, took Chen Ping'an's arm, and said with a smile: "National Preceptor, we have agreed that the first one to come to the door must be our Ministry of War Yamen."
Chen Ping'an gently patted the back of the old man's hand and said with a smile: "You must keep your word."
Shen Chen suddenly raised his voice and said: "Everyone, please listen clearly. If anyone dares to be so cunning as to cut off Hu, I will block the door and curse in the street. After cursing the shameless person, I will go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to continue cursing. Faithless."
Behind them, Xu Tong and Wu Wangcheng, the two ministers, looked at each other, both feeling a little...sad.
Dong Hu, the Minister of Rites, smiled and said: "Shang Shu Shen, your Military Department has done a great job, and our Rites Department has also worked very hard. The key is to get a few steps closer to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion..."
Without saying anything, Xu Tong just said, "Honestly, I'll be ranked second."
Dong Hu said: "Second? That's okay!"
Ma Yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, clicked his tongue and said: "Isn't there an old saying that says rituals first and then soldiers? Has the Ministry of Rites become so cowardly?"
Chen Ping'an ignored their jokes, stopped, turned around and said something, which made the important officials of the Great Li Dynasty all widen their eyes and even breathe quickly.
"I was walking with His Majesty on a country road earlier. His Majesty asked me a question, but I never gave an answer. I just happened to ask you guys to hear your opinions."
"If we, the Great Li, want to compete for the top ten dynasties in the world, do we need to reoccupy the entire Aquarius Continent? If we do, what should we do? If we don't, what should we do?"
When the Imperial Master has gone far away.
All the ministers seemed to wake up from the shock.
Changsun Mao, who had just been promoted from the General Affairs Department to the Minister of Civil Affairs, reminded: "Although it is nonsense, I still want to say it, the old rules."
The old man said that all confidential affairs of the court should not be brought back to their respective official residences, especially not brought casually to the wine table.
Ma Yuan smiled but continued: "Then let me add another nonsense. The old rules are the old rules. I hope that next time the Umrah will be held, there won't be an extra empty seat for no reason."
Shen Chen couldn't help being silent for a long time, and turned around with a smile. The old man rubbed his chin and looked at Xu Tong, whose eyes were shining, and Wu Wangcheng, who was already blushing.
Xu Tong elbowed Wu Wangcheng beside him, "Looking at the posture, Shen Shangshu is not planning to retire and return to his hometown. What should we do? How can we get promoted?"
Shen Chen pointed at them with his finger and cursed with a smile: "Two bastards."
In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Song He stood at the window, looking out at the blurred backs of the civil and military ministers.
Chen Pingan returned to the Imperial Prefecture.
Because Rong Yu had warned him in advance, no one dared to leave the house without permission and say congratulations.
When he finally entered the yard, Song Yunjian stood under the peach tree and said with a smile: "It's amazing, it's amazing."
Chen Pingan waved his hand and walked straight to the study without any polite greetings.
Rong Yu was asked to bring a large map of Likan and a large stack of maps of prefectures and counties. Chen Pingan drew circles on the map with place names.
Let the fish discover that it is a route.
Stopping his writing, Chen Ping'an suddenly asked: "Does the Imperial Master's Office have a complete set of Flower God Cups?"
Rong Yu shook his head and said: "There is no preparation here."
Although Cui Chan often drank, he didn't pay any attention to the wine and drinking utensils, so the Imperial Master's Office naturally followed suit.
Furthermore, if Cui Chan is willing to invite anyone to drink at the Imperial Master's Mansion, it is the greatest courtesy and honor in itself, and there is no need to add glory to it with the Flower God Cup.
Rong Yu said: "But there must be some stock in the Dali treasury, should I go and get it right away?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, "Don't go to such trouble. I'll go to the Flower Temple to meet the foreign guests. Those who are near the water tower can just buy a set of imitations temporarily."
Rong Yu was about to speak but stopped.
Of course, the Imperial Preceptor's Office had received definite information about the visit of Plum Blossom God Luo Fumeng and Blessed Land Flower Master Qi Fang to the capital of Great Li, but Rong Yu did not feel that they were worthy of Chen Guoshi's personal reception.
When Cui Chang entertained guests, whether they were from the mountains or from official circles, he usually chatted with them in the hall, or at most he would ask people to go to his study to discuss matters secretly.
There are only a handful of times that Cui Chan has stood on the doorstep waiting for guests. If anyone can make Cui Chan meet him, walk out of the door, and step down to greet him, it is unprecedented.
Because Rong Yu's memory is so good, she remembers everything very clearly. Although Chen Guoshi's decision cannot be disputed and must be based on his planning and weighing, deep down in her heart, she really doesn't want Chen Guoshi to make too many exceptions.
Chen Pingan said with a smile: "Elder brother is certainly a very proud person, but he is definitely not a person who would put his arrogance and contempt on the surface. The reason why he seems to be so repellent is to save time and try to eliminate the red tape.
Reduce it to the minimum, preferably not at all. The second is to deliberately let
The threshold of the Imperial Prefect's Office seems to be higher, which can make the successor easier to behave. Of course, the current situation is not yet ready for anyone to just lie down and enjoy the blessings. It is too early to say that the world is peaceful, but there is no such thing as the senior brother back then.
It's so urgent, so I can be relatively casual...more calm."
Rong Yu felt guilty and happy at the same time, and said softly: "The Imperial Master doesn't have to explain this to me."
Chen Ping'an said: "You can invite the monks from Changchun Palace to come and sit in the Imperial Master's Mansion in the near future."
Rong Yu nodded and became the first Xianjia sect received by the Imperial Master. This move was of great significance, and everyone on Yizhou Mountain was watching.
Changchun Palace deserves this opportunity.
If the Changchun Palace had not helped the Dali Dynasty survive the most difficult period, it might not even have been able to maintain its status as a vassal state of the Lu Dynasty.
Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and then changed his mind, "We'd better find an opportunity to visit Changchun Palace."
Rong Yu was convinced.
Although Changchun Palace is not yet the Zongzitou Immortal Palace, Rong Yu is sure that it will be soon.
Chen Pingan said: "I will go to see the guests first. You ask Cao Qinglang of the Hanlin Academy to come and wait here."
Rong Yu followed the order and left, hearing the young Imperial Master say something very meaningful.
"In the field of history, we have to wait and see whether it will be rice or tares."
Rong Yu was thinking alone as he walked. When Song Yunjian heard this, he touched his palms and said, "Of course!"
Chen Ping'an left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and went straight to a courtyard of the Flower Temple, where he used magic to change his appearance.
Not long after, Rong Yu stood at the door of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, silently counting in her mind, waiting for the Imperial Preceptor's proud student. When Rong Yu saw that figure, Cao Tanhua appeared a little slower than she expected.
After leading Cao Qinglang to the backyard, Cao Qinglang thanked her again. Rong Yu left without saying a word and smiled.
Cao Qinglang quickly walked to the door of the house and bowed solemnly outside: "Cao Qinglang pays homage to Mr. Lin."
Lin Shou bowed in return, but in comparison he looked more graceful and elegant. He smiled and said, "We are of the same generation, so there is no need to be formal and polite."
If they were members of the Wen Sage lineage, they were indeed fellow disciples and brothers.
However, Cao Qinglang regarded Lin Shouyi as his elder.
In any case, both of them are beautiful and have the aura of a noble gentleman. They are more like scholars than someone else.
Lin Shou stretched out his hand and grabbed Cao Qinglang's arm, and together they crossed the threshold and went straight to the desk, "I have accumulated some questions, and I want to ask you for advice."
After all, Cao Qinglang has long been the crown prince of the Dali Imperial Examination.
He is worthy of being the one with the best and highest reputation in the imperial examination among the literary sages.
Since Lin Shouyi aspired to take the imperial examination, if he regretted failing, he would not mention anything. But if he was in high school, then Cao Qinglang should be Lin Shouyi's senior in the examination room.
Cao Qinglang was a little embarrassed. Lin Shouyi pressed Cao Qinglang's shoulders and asked him to sit down. He stood up. Cao Qinglang became more and more restless. Lin Shouyi had already opened the book and seriously consulted with Cao Qinglang about the secrets of the imperial examination.
Cao Qinglang asked softly: "Mr. Lin, why don't you discuss this knowledge with my husband?"
Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "He Chen Ping'an knows what kind of imperial craftsmanship he has."
Cao Qinglang didn't know how to answer the call for a while.
Lin Shouyi said: "He only needs to manage the imperial examinations of a country."
————
The celebration has ended, but the Flower Temple is still bustling with activity. The dignitaries of the capital, including the princes and grandsons, who usually come here to play, can be led around by the temple priest and help explain the origins of the Flower Temple and the stories of the painted statues.
Yes, today is difficult.
The temple blessing of the Flower Temple is named Ye Man. She wears a long skirt with wide sleeves. She is a beautiful woman with an orchid and jade hairpin. She has an elegant temperament and looks more like a well-educated lady.
However, there was a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, which made her suddenly become particularly charming. There are some rumors about Ye Man, for example, some said that she was hidden here by a certain minister, and some said that she was actually from the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers.
A certain flower god can attract bees and butterflies when he walks in the garden. In short, it is either fragrant and charming, or it is a deed of gods.
Ye Man was walking at the front today, leading a group of well-deserved guests to a flower temple. They walked through corridors and around beams, changing scenery as they moved, and finally walked through a moon cave door and led them to a tea room.
The house and the courtyard outside the house are filled with shadows of flowers, and people walking in it are filled with fragrance. It is really a good place to find tranquility in the midst of the bustle, and to have a unique paradise.
Walking beside the Phoenix Flower God, the blushing lady said from her heart: "Don't be nervous, it's not the first time to see him."
The young flower god said timidly: "It was fine at first, but when you said that, I became nervous."
Mrs. Yan Yan gave a charming look and said, "Forgot? What Master Yin Guan said last time, when you are nervous, tell yourself to just be nervous, and you will not be afraid of anything."
The young flower god thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, "Yes, it makes sense!"
Last time, it was Mrs. Blushing who helped introduce me to Master Chen Shanzhu, who is both a swordsman and a martial arts master. He is good-tempered, easy-to-talk, and profound in knowledge. He really can’t be judged by his appearance.
After that, she was extremely nervous and confused, and found Zhang Wenqian, who was under Su Zi's sect. The old master frowned sometimes, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. The old gentleman nodded sometimes, and she felt a little relieved. In the end, the most serious one was
The old master was silent, and her mind went blank. She only remembered Chen Jianxian's words: be nervous when you are nervous, and don't be afraid of being nervous.
Zhang Wenqian asked: "How did you come up with these words?"
The Fengxian Flower God... sold Master Chen Shan. It wasn't that she didn't follow the moral principles of the world, but it was Master Zhang's stern face that was too scary.
While the girl Flower Goddess was thinking to herself, Chen Jianxian, I'm sorry, Mr. Yin Guan, you have a lot of things, she told Zhang Wenqian truthfully that it was the solution she asked Chen Jianxian of Luoluoshan.
The old master still had no expression on his face and said to himself: "Unexpectedly, the literary sage lineage, which is the most rigorous in scholarship, would sincerely recognize our lineage of knowledge and get close to Su Zi. It is unexpected and unexpected."
From the old man's point of view, you could say that several disciples of the Literary Sage lineage, regardless of the depth of their knowledge and cultivation, only talked about their temperament. It can be said that they each have their own arrogance and even arrogance.
But we must not misunderstand that they are informal, open-minded and bold people like Su Zi. Absolutely not.
In fact, even in Bai Ye's poem, Chen Ping'an could only euphemistically say that he only felt magical when he was drunk.
That's why Bai Ye, who was in Luolu Mountain at that time, learned about this and said with a smile, "It seems that you, the mountain master, have been drunk very rarely in your life."
According to the agreement, Chen Jianxian received her a bag of Guyu money in advance, and she would refund the money if things went wrong.
The girl had already made up her mind that even if things didn't work out, she would be self-defeating and the old master would hate her and scold her, she wouldn't want her money back.
Meeting in the rivers and lakes is fate, and if business cannot be done in a righteous way, neither of us should blame the other.
In fact, the blushing lady advised the girl not to be nervous, so why wasn't she herself nervous?
The Lord Yin Guan first became the head of the Shang Sect. She originally thought that they were all a family anyway, but finally they were able to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared. As a result, he became the master of the Great Li Kingdom again.
The young flower god admired in a low voice: "Sister Xiangyan, you are so courageous. You are not afraid of anyone you meet."
The blushing lady smiled awkwardly.
The young flower god silently encouraged herself in her heart. Although she was not sure whether she would be able to meet the upright and upright Chen Jianxian during this trip to the capital of Li, she still brought a bag of impatiens seeds as a thank you gift. The gift was not appreciated by many people.
Weird.
This time, Mr. Bai Shan, Zhang Yi, and Zhou Fuqing co-chaired the selection of blessed places. Previously, she had been worried about whether she would fall directly to the ninth grade and one life.
If the flower god's destiny drops to the lowest level, once it falls to the lowest level, the blessed land will replace the impatiens with a flower god. If it is still the lowest in the next selection, the impatiens will be withdrawn from the ranks of flowers, and the flower gods everywhere will
The temple has to move out the statue of the Goddess of Flowers.
As a result of this selection, her flower god's destiny is still seven levels and three lives, neither rising nor falling. She is already very satisfied. In this review, the competition is so fierce. If she can not fall, it means she is very strong.
There have been many plum trees in Mount Jiuyi since ancient times, and they naturally have a close relationship with Luofu Meng, the god of plum blossoms.
Narcissus, who is also one of the flower gods, often exchanges letters with the water king of the five lakes.
As for her, haha, I have never met many big shots and old gods in my life.
The girl Flower Goddess has already thought of a strategy. For example, when she met the new national preceptor, she would find the right opportunity and pretend to ask tentatively: Chen Jianxian, do you still remember me?
It is said that noble people often forget things. If the other party cannot remember her, it would be best. She boldly introduces herself a few words and thanks her, and then she can listen to the flower owner and the others talk about business. If Chen Jianxian still remembers her, the flower owner may
Sister Luo would most likely reprimand her not to be rude, and then she could rest assured that she would be a mute... It was a good plan indeed! The young flower god lowered her head secretly and grinned.
Ye Man stopped near the steps, turned around, gave a blessing, and said softly: "We're here. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll be waiting outside."
Next to this temple blessing, in addition to Qi Fang, Luofu Meng, and Fengxian Flower God from the Land of Flowers, there are also Mrs. Nian Xin and Blushing Lady. All of them are good-looking women.
However, they all used a cover-up trick, otherwise they would "reveal" their true appearance to the Flower Temple and spread the news from one to another. What's going on? Could it be that they want to steal the limelight from the new national master?
Luo Fumeng took a deep breath, finally meeting the famous young hidden official.
The young flower god quickly touched the bag of impatiens seeds in her sleeve to make sure again that she was not visiting empty-handed, so she was no longer so nervous.
Regarding the story of that year, why he helped her, Twisting Heart found out from Qi Fang. In the Blessed Land of Hundreds of Flowers, a woman in the world is just a flower, either in a flower bed, in a vase, or in the wilderness.
, among the mountains and forests.
Ye Man moved to the side room, crossed the threshold, and did not close the door. She held her breath and stood near the door with concentration. There was a sign hanging on the wall inside the room, "Guests come for tea and wine."
Over the years, she has always wanted to ask for a calligraphy from a certain famous master, such as Zhao Duanjin, the Minister of Rites who founded the Daliguange style.
Just write a small line of small words, "Nothing to do today."
Ye Man sighed quietly, but it was a pity that Zhao Shangshu never came to Huashen Temple and had no chance to meet him.
I don’t know the distinguished guest in the room who must have an unusual identity. How about the handwriting he wrote?
Ye Man still recognizes the first-class peace card issued by the Ministry of Punishment of Dali. Is it possible that it is a fake? In today's capital of Dali, who would dare!
Standing at the door of the main room was a handsome young man with a yellow hat and blue shoes. He had a gentle demeanor and looked like a kind-hearted person who was easy to get along with.
He turned sideways, clasped his hands into his fists, smiled with everyone, and said, "My young master is already waiting for you in the house."
He knocked on the door symbolically, opened the door gently, turned sideways, and waited until the guests entered the room before gently closing the door.
The sun was just right between heaven and earth, and the golden light shone through the window and fell on the man with a warm smile.
Standing up, Chen Ping'an smiled and explained: "I'm still talking about things in the royal study room of the palace. I'm sorry."
Qi Fang smiled sweetly and said: "The Imperial Master is too polite."
During the last meeting at the Confucian Temple, the two sides could only meet from a distance, so this was the first time for Qi Fang to have such close contact with Chen Ping'an.
And she knew more truths than Luofu Meng, for example, he was the monk Haoran who first said "then fight".
This kind of secret cannot be told to anyone. It must be kept in the heart and cannot be said a word. It is actually very uncomfortable.
Just like a drunkard who is greedy for drinking but cannot drink a glass of wine. The taste here is not enough for outsiders to understand.
In fact, Chen Pingan is already very considerate.
Originally, Baihua Land had something to ask for, so Chen Pingan could just ask them to wait in the capital.
Qi Fang is a very common name in the market, especially when used on her, it is even a bit tacky.
But if you really want to talk about the meaning, there are some, such as a hundred flowers blooming and thousands of flowers blooming together. In this way, it seems to be a very good name.
The tea sets were already placed on the table, so naturally, Mrs. Blushing took over the task of making tea and serving the guests. She opened the tin can, took out the best Mingqian tea this year, and took a quick glance at the signature on the bottom of the tin can.
Chen Ping'an looked at the Phoenix Fairy and Flower God, and asked with a smile: "We meet again. We were at Master Zhang's place before. Was everything going well?"
The girl groaned, her tactics seemed to be completely ineffective.
Fortunately, seeing her dumbfounded, Luo Fumeng not only reminded her but also helped to smooth things over, "Wu Qi, don't be rude, the Imperial Master is asking you something."
Look, it turns out that there is indeed such a saying as "Don't be rude".
The girl Flower God suddenly lost her nervousness and said: "It went well, very well. Chen Jianxian's clever trick is very powerful!"
She subconsciously wanted to give a thumbs up, but luckily Luo Fumeng held her arm down early. Just because Wu Li would definitely follow up with a comment...
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "That's good, I can keep that bag of Guyu money. Making money from other people's pockets is the hardest, and having to pay it back immediately after you have earned it is the most uncomfortable."
He told a joke that could be considered a joke, but the room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Maybe it's because Chen Ping'an's joke is very common, or maybe it's because they don't dare to laugh casually.
Perhaps this is the so-called secular power. It is not always dictated by the superiors, or it may change from noisy to quiet as soon as you open your mouth on any occasion, nor may it be the pomp and circumstance when traveling.
Power is like an invisible spider web. The greater the power, the more spider threads can spread longer. The circle of spider threads at the edge of the spider web can trap more money, women, seats, and other people's lives.
The joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of life, and the small ups and downs that appear in the center of the spider web are the joys and sorrows that expand outward layer by layer, gradually evolving into their stormy waves, honor and disgrace, life and death, wealth and destiny.
Mrs. Yan stared at the stove filled with mountain spring water. The water boiled and made a boiling sound.
Putting away his thoughts, Chen Pingan said slowly: "Apologizing is nothing more than what you say with your mouth, what you think in your heart, and how you do things."
It was because Qi Fang had not seen Aunt Feng before, so Luofu Meng calmed down and said: "We have discussed with Lord Qi Hua. First of all, within a hundred years, the size of the Dali court from the capital to the prefecture and county level will be determined."
The expenses for the official residence and all the garden flowers and trees are covered by our blessing. We are willing to provide people, money and efforts. Secondly, every day
Throughout the year, we will dispatch dozens of flower gods to the Flower Goddess Temple in Dali, doing our best to add a little charm to the mountains and rivers. If you feel that sincerity is still not enough, Chen Guoshi and Aunt Feng can try again.
Ti, before you are satisfied and we have not settled the matter for one day, Master Qihua and I will stay in the capital of Great Li for one day."
Da Li is no ordinary dynasty. It occupies half of Aquarius Continent. This expense is really not small.
If it extends further down to the official residence on the first floor of the county, it's not that Blessed Land doesn't want to be extravagant, it's really impossible. It's difficult to raise enough money from the gods, and it's even more difficult for Blessed Land to mobilize manpower.
Unless the entire Baihua Paradise is relocated to Aquarius Continent, all the flower gods will be determined to spend hundreds of years in the Great Li Dynasty to have a certain degree of certainty. However, such a thing is of course unrealistic.
Chen Pingan thought about the matter and did not rush to say yes or no.
Qi Fang suddenly asked in her heart: "Yin Guan, is he okay?"
Since she called Chen Ping'an like this, it was clear who "he" was, the criminal officer Hao Su who had been hiding in Baihua Paradise in the past.
Chen Pingan replied from the bottom of his heart: "Haosu's cultivation in Baiyujing Shenxiao City is going smoothly. His level is high enough, and his several shots are of sufficient weight. In addition, his status is aloof. After all, he has a former criminal officer.
Title, not only does Hao Su walk sideways, but also walks diagonally in Qingming World. Even if it is a bit chaotic now, even if Hao Su goes out to travel, no one will take the initiative to provoke him. It is completely unnecessary, so together
Flower owners can rest assured."
Qi Fang couldn't help but laugh. Yin Guan's words were humorous. When he thought of Hao Su's "walking sideways", he found it even more amusing.
The faint sadness between her eyebrows seemed to be swept away.
The charming and innocent girl named Wu Yi, the Flower Goddess, held it in for a long time. When no one spoke, she finally came up with some words that she thought were polite and appropriate, and put down the flower in her hand that happened to be painted with impatiens.
Flower God Cup, clasping fists with both hands, "Congratulations, Chen Jianxian and the Great Li Dynasty have joined forces."
Qi Fang was a little helpless, while Luo Fumeng was a little nervous. When discussing things with a big shot like Chen Ping'an in the same room, you must be careful with your words and deeds. Be careful, because you don't know which words will break the taboo.
Not only are words separated from the face, but the heart is separated from the belly, it is simply a deep city, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
On the way here, Luofu Meng had specifically reminded Wu Qi that when he met Chen Guoshi, he should adhere to the purpose of not seeking merit but seeking no faults, and speak as little as possible, preferably not at all.
The blushing lady quickly lowered her head to make tea, but the toes inside her embroidered shoes were all hooked up. It was really embarrassing.
Luofu Meng has the same understanding as most of the monks on the top of Haoran Mountain. You can say that Chen Ping'an is prosperous, or you can say that he works hard to live up to his destiny, but he must not be regarded as a simple-minded person.
If it is said that life is like a fence with thousands of mountains, each mountain releases a mountain barrier. Walking on the road, you are constantly breaking through barriers. Isn't this the same for Chen Guoshi, who is in a high position at a young age?
In my hometown in the past, I met Qi Jingchun from Cliff Academy, Cui Chan, the embroidered tiger, and the old scholar. When I arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was the boss of the swordsman, and the sage of rites who returned to the vast world, Zheng Juzhong...
What was unexpected was that instead of being expressionless and turning a deaf ear, Chen Ping'an didn't even smile politely. Instead, he also clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I'll lend you some good words, I'll lend you some good words."
The girl scratched her head, she was too sincere, and said with a shy face: "Chen Jianxian, I am not a good flower god, and my Tao power is very weak. There is a huge gap between the saint's mouth and the heavenly constitution, and the realm where the real person can follow the law."
It's eight thousand miles away. Chen Jianxian may not be able to lend me the auspicious words he borrowed from me, ha, ha, ha."
Chen Ping'an laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Don't be surprised if you give too many people, and don't have too many good words."
Luofu Meng felt relieved and saw that Chen Ping'an's expression and tone did not seem to be fake. Could it be that this girl Wu Li is really a fool who has a fool's fortune?
Generally speaking, those who have been in a high position for a long time are either superficially domineering or restrained and have deep authority.
For example, when Luo Fumeng first saw Chen Pingan at the door, she felt extremely stressed, and her mind even went blank for a moment.
Nian Xin was a little curious and asked in her heart: "Why are you so nice to the little girl?"
Chen Ping'an laughed in his heart and said, "There's no big reason. It's just that in my hometown when I was a child, there was an impatiens tree in front of Liu Xianyang's house. The flowers were so colorful that Gu Can and I both thought they were beautiful."
Mrs. Yan handed them porcelain cups one by one. Seeing that the two sides were chatting well, she felt relaxed.
Chen Ping'an took the tea cup and said, "With these two conditions as the foundation, I don't think it's a big problem. However, I can't guarantee anything now whether Aunt Feng will make one or two additional small requests."
Chen Ping'an turned to look at Nian Xin and said, "Nuan Xin, later you go to the Fire Temple with Master Qi Hua and the others to visit Aunt Feng, and tell me that I have no objections."
Nuxin nodded.
Wu Li didn't know if it was his imagination, but at this moment, the whole room seemed to light up.
Qi Fang chatted about the two seals and asked Chen Guoshi if he had any private rubbings and whether she could be lucky enough to borrow them. It turned out that there was an immortal mansion in Aaizhou with excellent business experience, and they selected the ten best seals in the world in the past millennium.
Once printed
As soon as it was published, the sales volume at the foot of the mountain was astonishing, let alone on the mountain. The Twenty-four Flowers Trade Wind Seal Book was ranked ninth. It was written by a certain Taishang Keqing from Baihua Blessed Land. And Chen Ping'an personally compiled the sword
Immortal Seal Pu ranks third.
It is a pity that the Jianjianxian seals on the market are not original hand-rubbed copies after all, and cannot fully reflect the Fengshen spirit of those seals.
Chen Pingan shook his head and said that he didn't have any extra hand rubbings on hand.
The atmosphere of chatting became more and more relaxed, and Mrs. Blushing was completely relieved, so she took her time to relax and muttered a few words in her heart.
To entertain all the Flower Goddess, I actually used a counterfeit Flower God Cup.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the things produced by the people's kilns are of poor quality in the eyes of the immortals.
The glaze color is dull, the hand feels rough, the flowers are dull, the fonts are weak... in short, nothing catches the eye.
The blushing lady couldn't help but murmur a few words in her heart, "Yin Guan, you are so short of money that you are so short of money. Do you have a lack of heart?"
Qi Fang took the initiative to make a joke and mentioned the Flower God Cup. She said that it would be inappropriate for the Imperial Master to use fake Flower God Cups to entertain guests next time. She must go back and send some sets of genuine Flower God Cups to the Imperial Master's office.
The blushing lady looked at the hidden official from the corner of her eye. What should I do? Are you ashamed?
It's a pity that she underestimated the second shopkeeper's face.
Chen Pingan smiled and said that he had been waiting for this sentence from the flower owner.
Qi Fang seemed speechless.
The blushing lady clicked her tongue softly.
Xiao Mo stood quietly outside the door and glanced at the deserted side room.
The temple blessing of the Flower Temple is a monk, but her realm is not high. She is in her forties, and she is just a caveman who has taken a shortcut.
Ye Man actually knew very well that the people in that room were either rich or noble, and they were all immortals, so it was unlikely that anyone would ask her to do any chores. But she still had to wait patiently.
After all, he is the national advisor of a country, and it is understandable that his affairs are heavy. He cannot keep chatting, just when Qi Fang was about to stand up and leave.
Chen Pingan put down his teacup and said, "I have a suggestion. You might as well listen to it."
Qi Fang's heartstrings immediately tightened and she said, "Master, please speak."
Chen Ping'an said: "We have more than 100 states in the Great Li Dynasty, which correspond to the blessed land of hundreds of flowers. Each state can have its own state flower. If a flower temple is built in the state seat, a certain flower god can enjoy incense and worship. This type of
The flower temple does not need to be too large, so as not to overwhelm the guests. You only need to provide drawings of the blessed place, and the appendix contains the personal preferences and interests of the flower gods. As for the related construction costs, you do not need to pay for it. "
"Da Li still has thirty-two vassals that have not yet abolished their national titles. In the same way, you can choose your own national flower."
"If you think this is feasible, then whether it's the state flower or the national flower, it also depends on whether you are in harmony with the local states or vassal countries. You can't just shave your head and choose one. The issue of incense and sacrifice cannot be deceived. No matter who is wishful thinking.
, the incense cannot last long. So it may be necessary for the flower gods to visit the territory of Dali in person. At that time, the Ministry of Rites of Dali Capital and the accompanying capital
, as well as the garrisons in various states, there will be relevant officials responsible for escorting the Flower Goddess of Blessed Land and selecting promising states and vassal states. The number of such officials will not be too many. If necessary, the Dali court can temporarily
If you set up an yamen, for example, with a state academic administration leader to handle specific affairs with you, this yamen will be abolished immediately after a period of at most one year."
"Please give me a conclusion as soon as possible. If you think it is not feasible, don't think too much. It will definitely not affect the previous resolutions between the two parties."
"If you think there is no problem, then I will directly mention this matter to the royal study room at the morning meeting."
Sitting at the far end, Nuxin always closed his eyes and meditated except for raising a cup to drink tea.
Mrs. Rouyan was greatly surprised. In his early years, Lord Yin Guan was known for being "destroying flowers with ruthless hands", wasn't he? She only said that she had learned a lesson in the means of defeating the autumn wind during a trip to the Plum Garden in the past.
Qi Fang was silent. Although she was in a state of excitement, the matter was so important that she couldn't help but weigh it repeatedly. Luofu Meng was slightly shocked, how could such a good thing happen?
The Phoenix Flower God was stunned. Could it be that he could build a separate temple outside of the Paradise of Hundred Flowers?
Mrs. Yan Yan glanced at Lord Yin Guan, who had a calm expression. Previously, she thought that if he became the Grand Master of Great Li, Baihua Blessed Land would definitely be tied up, and at least he would be a guest of the Supreme Being, which would be difficult to discuss.
Unexpectedly, Chen Pingan's next words shocked Qi Fang and the others, "This is still a small matter. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not."
As soon as these words came out, even someone as big-hearted as Wu Li would subconsciously sit upright.
Chen Pingan said: "This matter is related to the unfinished road in Tongyezhou."
Not to mention Qi Fang, Luo Fumeng and the others, even Twisting Core is completely confused. They can't just be the lions opening their mouths and trying different ways to borrow money from Baihua Paradise, right?
When Tongyezhou Dadu is completed, it needs to be "canonized", and then the saints from the Confucian Temple must be present in person.
It just so happened that the old scholar had a favorable geographical location in the three continents, and Tongyezhou was one of them.
Qi Fang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master. It would be a great honor for us at Baihua Blessed Land to be able to participate in this grand event."
Chen Pingan shook his head and continued: "I want to invite you to go over there and create a trail of flowers in Tongyezhou that has never been seen in the world for thousands of years."
The blasphemy of flowers!
No matter how difficult it is to promote and do this well, it is not as great as carving out a brand new road, which is literally made out of nothing.
Once completed, it will be an "icing on the cake" that has never been done before or since.
By stabilizing the transportation of mountains and rivers, drought and flood disasters can be reduced on both sides of Dadu, and more land of plenty will appear, where people will have abundant harvests and be warm and satisfied every year.
Luo Fumeng no longer cared about his manners, reached out and grabbed Qi Fang's arm beside him, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Flower Master, you must never hesitate again!"
Qi Fang is full of energy, surrounded by hundreds of flowers! Just imagining the picture that will appear in the world in the future, with hundreds of flowers blooming all over the mainland, she is fascinated by it!
"In addition to your false reputation and good reputation, the Chinese Confucian Temple will also remember your real merits."
Chen Ping'an just looked calm and said: "This is my reward, nothing more. But if you are too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for credit, or it is you who brought it up, and the merit from the Confucian Temple is less than expected, then I
I will go to the Chinese Confucian Temple in person to help you reason and ask for justice."
The blushing lady stared blankly at this familiar yet unfamiliar man.
"What if the Confucian Temple teaches unreasonable principles?"
Chen Pingan paused and laughed at himself: "What can I do? There is nothing I can do."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "How can you do big business without taking risks?"
How could Qi Fang hesitate or hesitate this time? He did not hide his excitement and said categorically: "National Master, I can make a decision for you now. There is no need to return to the blessed land to discuss this matter. If I don't agree to this matter, I will miss it."
, then I, Qi Fang, must be a sinner in the Paradise of Hundred Flowers!"
“No need to talk about money!”
If Qi Fang misses this incredible wealth, she can immediately step down as the flower owner.
"National Master, this is what we have decided?!"
Not only Qi Fang, but also the flower gods of the entire blessed land, all have unspeakable knots in their hearts.
That is the reputation of Zhuhai Cave Heaven and the reputation of the Lady of Qingshenshan. In the vast world, it will always be higher than that of Baihua Blessed Land.
During the last meeting at the Confucian Temple, Mrs. Qingshenshan also attended. Qi Fang looked at the latter's extremely indifferent attitude towards everyone from a distance. Qi Fang was jealous, admired, and even more disappointed.
Luofu Meng can completely imagine that this "Desecration of Hundreds of Flowers" will definitely become one of the top ten scenic spots in the future!
Chen Ping'an said calmly: "Don't talk too much yet. Whether we can drink enough to celebrate the victory, or whether we will give up halfway and break up on bad terms is still open to debate."
As if a bucket of cold water had been poured on her head, Qi Fang was shocked and forced herself to calm down, at least to make Chen Guoshi think that she was someone he could work with.
Chen Ping'an said: "It's better to say ugly things first than to pretend to be a good person. It's time to do something. There are bumps and bumps here and there. They are all problems and bad people."
Qi Fang nodded and said: "It must be so."
Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes and said: "When it comes to doing practical things, we in the Great Li Dynasty claim to be second, but no one in the entire world dares to say that we are first. So the two of us really want to cooperate. After complaining or even quarreling once or twice, I
I understand and fully accept it, and there must be a tacit understanding between both parties.
It's a process. But I don't want you to come to me again and again to complain and sue me. Since we want to do practical things, especially if there is a chance to get a good reputation as 'the work is done in the present time, the contribution will be made in the future', then the Great Li Dynasty is also a good thing
, it’s a paradise of flowers, none of us should be too squeamish.”
"If it's just Luo Luo Shan Chen Ping'an doing business with you, of course he can be more polite and not afraid of losing money. He can explain it as 'it's a good intention after all'."
Chen Ping'an leaned back, exhaled softly, and said softly: "After all, I only need to be responsible for the genealogy monk of a poor mountain. If I make mistakes or make mistakes, I am confident that I can still cover up."
"But as the Grand Master of Da Li, I am responsible for the entire Da Li Dynasty, and I am also responsible for the people on both sides of Dadu in Tongye Continent."
Chen Ping'an straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Qi Fang and Luo Fumeng opposite him, "Who makes it difficult for me, especially makes me regret the decision I made? Who takes away something that could have benefited everyone?"
If a good thing suddenly turns into a complete mess, I will let him know what it means to have three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, and every day is a sad end of the year."
Xiaomo outside the house has gentle eyes.
The female nun in the side room is still considering whether to take the liberty of asking the guest for a calligraphy. If the calligraphy is average, she will hang it in the side room. If the calligraphy is good, she will hang it in the main room.
inside the house.
Wu Li is a little afraid of the current Chen Jianxian.
The blushing lady seemed a little absent-minded.
I don't think there's anything wrong with twisting the core.
After the context was clear, Nian Xin knew that this deal had a long history. Chen Pingan didn't actually say it clearly, but I believe that Baihua Paradise also understood that Chen Pingan wanted to take advantage of Baihua Paradise's influence in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and this
The emergence of Baihua Zhidu,
Over hundreds of years and thousands of years, more mountain monks will continue to be driven to Tongye Continent. When people have gone, there will be a way to make money, popularity and financial resources, and then the dilapidated Tongye Continent will gradually become a
With a burst of vitality, a continent's mountains and rivers are like... a dead tree blooming with spring.
Perhaps this is the greatness of his senior brother Cui Chan's military service and knowledge?
Qi Fang stood up, took three steps back, and bowed in salute, "On behalf of Baihua Blessed Land, I would like to thank Mr. Chen for his teachings!"
Luo Fumeng, Wu Yan, and even Mrs. Blushing stood up at the same time and sincerely thanked the man.
After that, Chen Ping'an took the lead to walk out of the house. Perhaps it was because of the glare of the sun, he put his hand between his eyebrows to cover his eyes.
Xiao Mo followed the young master with his hands in his sleeves. As they walked down the steps, the female cultivator from the temple quickly walked out of the wing and said softly: "Your distinguished guest, please stay."
Chen Pingan stopped, took out his hands from his sleeves, and asked with a smile: "Is something wrong?"
Ye Man asked softly: "Can I take the liberty of asking, what is the name of the guest?"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Chen."
Ye Man seemed a little regretful and said with a shy face, "That means I recognized the wrong person."
Chen Ping'an didn't ask why, he just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter."
Leaving the Flower Temple, I walked with Xiaomo on the still lively street.
Chen Pingan was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked: "Xiao Mo?"
Xiao Mo, however, had a clear understanding and knew what his young master wanted to ask, so he replied: "Young master will also be a good person in the future."
Xiaomo added, "We are all following."
Chen Pingan held the back of his head with both hands and murmured: "That's it."
One of the roots of senior brother Cui Chan's merit and knowledge is reward.
If you want to tempt people with fame and wealth, you should give them enough promotion and wealth. If the official title is big enough, give them a posthumous title, let them establish official histories, or let them see real money.
If you want to attract people with benevolence, righteousness and morality, you have to give them a way to express their ambitions, whether it is Lin Qingyu, a famous scholar in the literary world, or a vision to govern the country and bring peace to the world, you have to give them.
To lure them into the path of immortality, you need to provide them with enough heavenly and earthly treasures, spiritual books and secrets, and important weapons of the Immortal Family, so that they can steadily break through the realm step by step and climb the mountain step by step.
Satisfy their ambitions and desires and give them the freedom they long for.
The second reason is to make everyone fear and respect me, and always see me as "the unknown".
The third root is... walking alone, being lonely. Probably the real solitary person is either a beast or a god.
As she walked, she saw Ning Yao standing not far away, nibbling on a bunch of candied haws with a bunch in her hand. She raised her hand, shook it, and waited for Chen Ping'an.
