Chapter 147 Congratulations to Prince Jin on his wedding
Chang'an City, Prince Jin's Mansion.
A solemn but not grand wedding is in progress. Today is the wedding day of Li Zhi, King of Jin of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Chan, the "Three Holy Mothers".
In the land of Guanzhong in April, there is still a hint of coolness in the morning, but by noon the sun is already shining, and the sun is as hot as fire.
If the wedding ceremony of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty was carried out according to the grand ceremony, why would he have to go to the "Da Ming Palace" to inform all the civil and military officials, and the whole world would congratulate him.
Li Zhi refused, and just held a few banquets in the "Prince Jin's Mansion".
However, the news of King Jin's wedding still spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.
After so many years, "Prince Jin's Mansion" has long become a holy place in the hearts of Chang'an people, and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
Now that King Jin is getting married, it is naturally inconvenient for them to go there to "make trouble". Many people spontaneously went to various restaurants and tea shops in Chang'an City to celebrate King Jin.
After Li Shimin heard about it, he directly asked the old eunuch Zhang Anan to lead his people, in the name of King Li Zhi of the Jin Dynasty, to inform the whole Changan of the places where people could eat and drink, and all the expenses today would be charged to the accounts of the royal family.
When a Mingjun is in power, the people naturally love him. Li Shimin's move demonstrates the emperor's great kindness. How can businessmen from all walks of life really be so "ignorant of praise"?
Everyone came up with their own special skills. Anyone who congratulated His Royal Highness on the wedding was free of charge, and even celebrated for three days in a row.
In the "Prince Jin's Mansion", not many people can come in on weekdays, but today is an exception. The big shots in the court are all trying to squeeze in.
As soon as he arrived, Li Zhi was kicked out by Chang Sun Wugou to greet the guests.
With Li Zhi's current status, there is no need to be like this. The emperor and empress are living in his own home. What kind of guests are really worthy of him welcoming him at the gate?
It's a pity that Li Zhi couldn't defeat his mother after all.
There is no way, if it were his father Li Shimin, Li Zhi might still bargain a bit, but for the Empress Dowager Changsun... Haha, he can only obey her orders.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here——"
Li Zhi just stood at the gate, and Qin Huaiyu, who was accompanying him, reminded him in a low voice.
During Li Zhi's wedding, Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong were the two busiest people. The "Prince Jin's Mansion" had very few manpower available, and the two Cheng family brothers were left behind at the pass in northern Xinjiang.
Nowadays, Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong are considered "old people", and Bai Suzhen and Xue Qian can follow suit. As for Bai Zhi...
Well, Lao Bai has the highest level of cultivation among them, and is now at the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian". It would be okay if he is allowed to fight and do these things that are needed to welcome him.
Let’s not embarrass a simple and honest big white bear.
"Brother, you have improved a lot after a long time. Your 'mind' has actually reached the level of Xiaocheng? It's unbelievable——"
Li Zhi greeted him first. Li Zhi now had no grudge against the prince's brother, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to give him all the "Physical Techniques" and "Heart Dao".
Li Chengqian is also an anomaly. When others get these two exercises, they often prefer "Ti Jue". After all, the practice of "Ti Jue" is more visible to the naked eye.
Whether it is physical defense, attack, or strength, the increase in these attributes is the most obvious. Most of those taught by Li Zhi are young people, so naturally more of them are keen on "physical skills".
But Li Chengqian was not like that. He practiced both "Physical Jue" and "Heart Way", but he was more fond of "Heart Way".
"Haha, Pheasant Slave is just making fun of Big Brother. In front of you, can Big Brother still show off his meager tricks?"
After more than half a year, Li Chengqian seemed to have completely come out of his previous state of mind. He even took two steps forward and held Li Zhi's hands together.
"Pheasant slave, today is your wedding day. Although my eldest brother holds the title of 'Prince' and has found some so-called rare treasures, none of them are worthy of you now." "Years ago, a monk from Baima Temple in Dongdu occasionally presented a orb. Whenever my eldest brother practiced, he would put the orb aside, but he found that his practice progressed rapidly."
"No, I brought you this orb today. It is the most magical thing around my brother."
As Li Chengqian spoke, he took something out of his arms, but it was a box made of sandalwood. It was antique and should not be something that is just around the corner.
"It's such a rare thing, I can just keep it and use it, why bother..."
Only then did Li Zhi discover that Li Chengqian's cultivation at this time was already in the early stage of "Xuanxian". In other words, he had been raised from the middle stage of "True Immortal" in the past half a year?
Li Zhi was still a little shocked by this discovery.
You must know that the "Physical Techniques" and "Heart Dao" taught by Li Zhi to everyone are easy to get started. If you want to practice to a small degree, you must have at least a "True Immortal" level of cultivation.
These two magical powers cannot be regarded as instant skills, but the situation of the elder brother in front of him makes Li Zhi a little puzzled.
"According to Big Brother, is it the orb in this box that makes your great progress in cultivation?"
Li Zhi originally wanted to refuse, but now he became somewhat interested and reached out to take it.
It was quite heavy to get, but it didn't look like an ordinary bead. When the "Breaking Golden Eyes" was used, Li Zhi's face darkened.
"Pheasant slave, is there anything wrong with this orb?"
Li Chengqian could clearly see the changes on Li Zhi's face, and he knew that there must be something wrong with the orb in the box.
In fact, Li Chengqian had similar thoughts before, and the "satisfaction" of being with him reminded him more than once.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. "White Horse Temple" and Li Chengqian are not close relatives. Could it be that he sent someone to deliver such a precious orb just because he is the prince of the prison country?
For practitioners, this orb is no less than a "cheating device". With this orb at your side, one day of practice is enough to equal three or five days of hard work for others. This is why Li Chengqian entered
The reason why the environment is so fast.
"Brother, your realm has been upgraded to 'Xuanxian'. Do you feel any physical discomfort?"
Discovering the strangeness of the orb in the box, Li Zhi looked at Li Chengqian in front of him again.
It's a pity that even though the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" have been stretched to the extreme, Li Zhi still failed to notice the strangeness of Li Chengqian. Maybe he was too worried.
"That's not true. My elder brother is also worried that his cultivation will advance too fast and his mental state will inevitably not be able to keep up, so he has increased his practice of the 'heart way' taught by you."
"Not bad..."
Li Zhi muttered something silently in his heart, but he felt even more disgusted with those people.
"Brother, I have accepted this pearl. It is indeed a treasure, but it has not been polished carefully. The father, queen and mother are waiting inside. Please go in quickly -"
Li Zhi didn't even open the box, he threw it into the sea of consciousness and said in a voice.
"Sister Bailian, please help me extract the energy of this bead——"
It turned out that the so-called orb given to Li Chengqian by "White Horse Temple" was actually a Buddhist relic.
Unfortunately, the quality of this relic is a bit different. The original owner was at most a member of Taiyi, and he seemed to be a demon clan?
One-third of the energy contained in the relic has been absorbed by Li Chengqian, and half of the "Buddha power" contained in it has also entered Li Chengqian's body.
Fortunately, with the "Tao of Heart" donated by Li Zhi, Li Chengqian miraculously was not disturbed by those "Buddha powers", but instead improved his cultivation to the early stage of "Xuanxian".
......
"Okay then, it's been a while since eldest brother came to pay his respects to his father, the emperor and his mother. I'm going to be busy first. I'll definitely have a few more drinks today."
Li Chengqian was also a man of quick thinking. When he saw Li Zhi acting like this, he knew that there must be something to do with it.
However, since Li Zhi is unwilling to let him know, it means that the relationship here is not something that Li Chengqian can handle.
"Haha, for sure, maybe we can really drink some good wine today. Brother, please keep your belly and don't get stuffed with the tea from Father."
The two brothers joked with each other, as if what happened just now was easily overturned.
"Huaiyu, go back and find a few reliable people to keep an eye on the Prince's Mansion. It's not to monitor the elder brother, but to see what weird people will come to the door, such as monks, Taoist priests, etc...
."
Li Chengqian had already entered the "Prince Jin's Mansion". Even though he was the Crown Prince, he was not able to bring a single entourage in. A few personal guards could only find a teahouse next to the "Prince Jin's Mansion" to wait.
"Your Highness, are you suspicious?..."
Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, according to Li Shimin's request, have entered the "Li Jingmen".
Yan Chixia, the leader of "Li Jing Sect", is also an open-minded person, and all the secrets in "Li Jing Sect" are open to these two people.
There are only four errands assigned to Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong, mainly to pass on information from elsewhere. The remaining staffing depends on the wishes of His Highness the King of Jin.
Where can Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong go to find someone?
Li Zhi regretted that he should not have left Heishan and Wuhai in Beiju Luzhou. If these two people were here, everything would be much easier to handle.
When there was really no one available, Qin Huaiyu even recruited Bai Suzhen and Xue Qian through Li Zhi.
Even though these two are women, what are their cultivation and combat prowess? Looking at the current Tang Dynasty, there seems to be nothing that they can't settle.
"No need to doubt, just send someone to keep an eye on it, especially within the past six months."
Li Chengqian's pearl came into Li Zhi's hands, and he had already given it to the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus for disposal. Li Zhi didn't believe that the person who gave the pearl couldn't notice it.
As for his eldest brother Li Chengqian, Li Zhi doesn’t have to worry about what tricks he will do. As the saying goes, strength determines everything.
Even if he really harbored evil intentions and got into that position through trickery, couldn't he, Li Zhi, take it back?
What's more, Li Chengqian has now practiced the "Physical Technique" and "Heart Dao" he sent. Being able to send such a magical orb as a gift just proves that Li Chengqian is no longer what he used to be.
......
The second wave of guests arrived, but they were several important officials in the court.
The leader was none other than Fang Xuanling, the Xian Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. This old man was devoted to government affairs. It can be said that he alone accounted for half of the contributions of the courtiers.
The current level of cultivation has just reached the "Nascent Soul" stage.
This was because Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty saw that his old man was working too hard, so he couldn't help but send some good things from the "Prince Jin's Mansion" to him.
Following behind were Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda and others. The only general was Li Yaoshi, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, but behind him stood three middle-aged men.
"Several elders, because of the pheasant slave matter, they have delayed the government affairs of several elders today. Mr. Xuan Cheng will not use this to impeach the king, right? Hahaha..."
Wei Zheng was a famous "critic" in the Tang Dynasty. When his temper was hot, he didn't even give in to Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
He was even a subordinate in the crown prince's womb, but because of the disaster relief incident in Henan Province, his inner balance gradually tilted.
"Hahaha, Your Highness, Prince Jin, is not making a good joke. If I dare to impeach Your Highness for this matter, I am afraid that there will be no place for me, Old Man Wei, in the entire Tang Dynasty."
In order to show their respect for Li Zhi, these big bosses from the Tang Dynasty did not even ride in sedans or ride horses, but walked over calmly.
In Chang'an City, in every street and every square, countless people spontaneously celebrated, and they all saw it.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, today is your wedding day. We, the old people, don't have any gifts to hand out, so we just came here with a head on our shoulders. We won't be without good wine and food to greet you, right?"
/p>
Kong Yingda came over while the Imperial Academy was offering wine. This old boy relied on being Li Zhi’s teacher, and when Li Zhi was weak, he made an exception and sent out his family’s “Song of Righteousness”. To this day, he still considers himself a “teacher”.<
/p>
"Haha, what Master Kong said, it would be the best gift for you all to come over and have a glass of water and wine on my wedding day. Just a few random gifts will be fine."
None of them brought any entourage, but no one came empty-handed. After all, they were all practitioners, so no one really had anything good.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, today is your wedding day, and I have the nerve to come and have a glass of wine. These three boys have been with me for a few years, and I want to come and see them today. I don't know..." At this time, Pharmacist Li, who had white hair and beard, walked over, followed by the three middle-aged men, who also followed step by step.
"You are so polite, Mr. Pharmacist. Looking at the dignified appearance and reserved spirit of these three people, they should be three high disciples. I wonder which of these three is Su Dingfang, Hou Junji or Pei Xingjian?"
In fact, Li Zhi was able to tell who the three of them were by looking at their temperament. What surprised him was not that Li Jing had brought these three people, but that he was surprised by the cultivation of these four people.
The first is Li Jing. When he was in heaven, Li Zhi met "that person" and even had a deeper "intercourse" with his two sons.
However, the way of "relationship" is a little different. One has become a brother of the opposite sex, but the other wants to cut him off every time he meets him.
Perhaps to hide something, Li Jing seems to have had a "white beard and hair" image for many years, but now he is at the peak of "Xuanxian". Is he determined to hold on to the position of the Military God of the Tang Dynasty?
Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and Pei Xingjian, among the three, Su Dingfang and Hou Junji are all in the early stages of "transcending the tribulation", while Pei Xingjian, the youngest, seems to be about to break through to the "celestial being" realm.
"Haha, I didn't expect that His Highness, Prince Jin, is such a person, he actually knows the names of the three of them? Why don't you three come over quickly and pay tribute to His Highness, Prince Jin——"
"Su Dingfang has met His Royal Highness Prince Jin——"
"Hou Junji has met His Royal Highness the King of Jin——"
"Pei Xingjian has met His Royal Highness the King of Jin——"
The three of them lined up one after another and saluted Li Zhi one after another.
These three people have completely different looks. Su Dingfang is tall and tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he is over forty years old, he does not show any signs of weathering. He does not seem to be a member of the military.
Hou Junji is the smallest among the three, with a somewhat thin and dry look, and a pair of bright eyes. What surprised Li Zhi is that this man was born with a pair of scuds?
Even after coming to the world of gods and Buddhas, this was the first time Li Zhi saw such a person.
"Scud", as the name suggests, such people are born with very thick hair on their feet and legs. Even ordinary people who have never practiced Buddhism can walk a thousand times a day and eight hundred times a night.
If a person who has completed "Foundation Building" starts running with all his strength, ordinary "celestial beings" flying on the clouds may not be able to catch up with him.
But now, Hou Junji, who was born with "scud", has actually reached the early stage of "transcending the tribulation", and Li Zhi suddenly had the urge to test his speed with him.
The last one is naturally Pei Xingjian.
If he had not appeared here, but in the Imperial Academy, dressed as a gentleman, no one would have suspected that he was not a scholar.
"Haha, it's true that famous teachers give birth to great disciples, Lord Medicine Master, are these three practitioners the 'Great Immortal Technique'? Sure enough, the Zhongzheng is peaceful, the weather is endless, and the 'Golden Immortal' can be expected——"
Li Zhi had always been respectful to Pharmacist Li in front of him, but he felt distant in his heart.
Li Zhi also understood that this man, like Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Wei Zheng, was sent down from above and would eventually return after completing his mission.
Qin Qiong is a special case, and now he has been completely retained by Li Zhi. As for Wei Zheng, Li Zhi has always been unsure. I wonder if Old Wei has no memory of "past life" at all?
However, Li Zhi is 100% sure that the pharmacist Li in front of him is the clone of the one in the sky. Li Zhi cannot even guarantee whether the two people will change their identities from time to time.
Therefore, when facing Pharmacist Li, Li Zhi did not hold back at all. Instead, he faced him head-on. Not only did he tell them that these three people were practicing the "Grand Immortal Technique", but he also revealed Yaomaster Li's little thoughts. p>
Li Zhi was not sure about Pharmacist Li's thoughts and arrangements, but he could see that there was something wrong with the "Great Immortal Technique" practiced by these three people.
After all, Li Zhi has been in heaven for so long, and Yang Jian, Yang Chan's brother and sister, and Sun Wukong all know the "Great Immortal Technique". Li Zhi just hasn't practiced it himself.
Can "Golden Immortal" be expected?
He bluntly said that Li Yaoshi was hiding his secrets and did not teach others the complete "Dapin Tianxian Jue".
"Ahem, Your Highness Prince Jin is overly praised. You are really gifted with a pair of discerning eyes! However, today is the wedding day of His Highness Prince Jin. I think you might see some 'big shots' at the banquet, right?" p>
"Although I have no connections, I am not here empty-handed today. Please accept this small gift from His Highness the King of Jin. You three, what are you waiting for?——"
After Pharmacist Li finished speaking, he saw Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and Pei Xingjian standing respectfully aside. They looked at each other, lifted up their clothes and knelt down on the ground.
"We are willing to worship at the door of King Jin, lead our horses and let them ride, and let you drive them——"
These three, placed in the Tang army, are also well-known general-level figures.
As early as more than ten years ago, they were sensitive to the changes in the Tang Dynasty. If they stayed in the military as before, they would probably be eliminated by the entire era.
These three people unexpectedly submitted their resignations to the imperial court.
Of course, just because of their age, these three are now middle-level or above figures in the Tang army, and they are still being tried hard by the Tang court to retain them.
In the end, both sides could only give in. Whenever the Tang Dynasty was in danger, they would definitely step forward.
In this way, Su Dingfang, Hou Junji and Pei Xingjian all became disciples of Medicine Master Li almost at the same time and began to practice real practice.
According to their cultivation progress over the years, they are only one step behind everyone in the "Prince Jin's Mansion". Compared with other people in the Tang Dynasty, they are much higher than others.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Unexpectedly, Pharmacist Li, who has worked hard to cultivate them for so many years, would be willing to give them out as a "congratulatory gift" today?
Seeing the three people kneeling in front of him, Li Zhi was filled with doubts.
It is true that the Tang Dynasty today is no longer the Tang Dynasty he is familiar with. The competition is far beyond the civil and military significance.
However, after all, these three are also famous figures, just like three minions, being given over as "gifts"?
"Mr. Pharmacist, I wonder what you mean by this?"
Not only Li Zhi was confused, but even the experienced and knowledgeable bosses on the side didn't understand the purpose of Li Yaoshi's move.
"Haha, His Highness King Jin, if I say that I just want these three apprentices to have a good future, do you believe it?"
At this time, Pharmacist Li had changed from his previous "decadent" appearance. His appearance was still the same, with his "white beard and hair", but Li Zhi found that his figure seemed to be much taller?
"Mr. Medicine Master, with the current cultivation level of the three master disciples and the contributions they have made to the Tang Dynasty over the past many years, it is not a problem to be granted the title of Duke or General, so why should they condescend to the palace of this prince?"
Naturally, Li Zhi would not believe what Li Yaoshi said.
"Haha, what if I just want to make friends with His Highness Prince Jin?"
Pharmacist Li took two steps forward and was only one foot away from Li Zhi, but his voice became deeper.
Li Zhi felt a bit of pressure, but he also saw an intriguing smile in the eyes of Pharmacist Li in front of him.
"Oh, it's quite lively. Your Highness, Prince Jin, I, Old Cheng, didn't come late -"
At this moment, from the corner of the street "Prince Jin's Mansion", a person came on a flying horse.
"Sa Lu Zi", one of the most proud horses of Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, has now become a "magic horse". When it runs, its hooves are as stable as Mount Tai.
