"I and Empress Sanhua took advantage of the heroine again."
"I also said that I was taking advantage of you." Wu Nuxia said, shaking her head, "We are old acquaintances, let's not talk about these things, just eat as much as you want."
"It's so relaxing."
"Thanks to you for your good craftsmanship."
Wu Nuxia burped again and said: "People like us are very satisfied with a meal of boiled rabbit meat in mushroom chicken soup. I wonder what kind of delicious food the emperor eats every day?"
"Maybe it's not that delicious."
"How can it be?"
"Guess."
"I'm gone, please clean up."
Wu Nuxia stood up and left the place.
Song You watched her walk out of the room. Although she had drunk some wine and her face was red, her steps were steady and her tone was calm as usual. You have to be very careful to notice a little bit of drunkenness in her words, just like she was thinking happily.
Back to the time when Yizhou was free and easy.
Song You shook his head, and just as he was about to look back, he suddenly saw a figure on the street outside the door.
A lame middle-aged Taoist priest was saluting him.
The Taoist smiled and stood up to salute.
It's finally here.
…
The table and chairs were cleared and the two of them sat across from each other.
"This place is simple and shabby, and there is no good tea. Please take care of me." Song You was respectful and polite.
"The mountains are not high and the water is not deep. The place where the Taoist friends are is the place where the dragon is subdued." The national master lowered his head and said, "This is the luck of the poor Taoist."
"The Imperial Advisor is here for the Taiwei?"
"The Taiwei did not want to die and sought a way to prolong his life, but he went astray. The Taiwei's son bullied the people based on his birth status, and was punished by the gods and masters, which greatly pleased the people." The Imperial Master said with a smile, as if he didn't seem to care at all.
He was willing to discuss the rights and wrongs of this matter, and did not care about the people in Taiwei's Mansion. He just sighed, "After this matter spreads, I'm afraid there will be another rumor about gods in the capital."
"I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"
"Your Majesty has already issued an order to restrain the noble children of Changjing, but no matter how wise your Majesty is, how can you take care of all aspects?" The Imperial Master sighed, seeming helpless, "Everyone says that the whole world is not the land of the royal family.
The people on the shore of the land are not the king's ministers, but to put it bluntly, this world is neither the common people's world nor the world of His Majesty alone."
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense."
"If one day, there is a world that truly belongs to the people of the world, then it will be a truly prosperous age."
"The national teacher is a true Taoist."
Song You had a little more respect, which was not something that the royal nobles of this era could say.
"Speaking of the fact that your Majesty is in charge of this dynasty, it is the most peaceful time for the nobles in Changjing." The Imperial Preceptor paused as he said, "But on the one hand, His Majesty is busy with government affairs, and on the other hand, it is not easy for Your Majesty to overdo it.
, some people may think that the Chu family is unwilling to share the world with them. This time, Taoist friends have intimidated those dignitaries in Changjing, which is of great benefit to the country and the people. Your Majesty is a wise emperor, and he was still talking to Pindao last night about what he wanted to do.
Thank you so much, fellow Taoist."
After hearing this, Song You just smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he asked, "If the Imperial Master didn't come here for this matter, why did he come to me specifically?"
"Your Majesty is so strong."
"I see."
Song You smiled again.
The Imperial Master spoke straightforwardly.
"However, in addition to being strong, Your Majesty also admires the grace of immortals and seeks the way to eternal life and freedom." The imperial master added, "I had heard about Taoist friends' deeds before, and I admired them very much. I also knew that Fulong Temple was related to the royal family, and I had long wanted to invite Taoist friends to go.
I was a guest in the palace, but I knew that Taoist fellow Taoist would not like to be disturbed, so he dissuaded Your Majesty. Now I happened to hear that Taoist Taoist was offended by a dandy from the Taiwei Mansion. Your Majesty felt deeply ashamed, so I asked Pindao to come here specially to think of it.
Invite fellow Taoists to the palace as guests, where we can drink and talk at night."
After speaking, he paused and added:
"Your Majesty is well aware that the followers of Fulongguan like to be free and easy. If fellow Taoists don't want to, you won't force it."
The Imperial Master quietly glanced at Song You, already prepared to be rejected.
But I only heard the young Taoist ask:
"Going today?"
"Of course not."
"When are you going?"
"Let's see when it's convenient, fellow Taoist."
"Is there a palace banquet?"
"Haha, of course there is. Whatever the immortals of Fulongguan want, as long as the palace can get it, they may be neglected?"
"I've been having some leisure time recently."
The Imperial Master was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It will be scheduled in three days. Even if it is just drinking and talking at night, the palace must be prepared."
"good."
"In three days, the poor Taoist will come to invite fellow Taoists."
"Can I bring a cat?"
"nature."
"Trouble the Imperial Master."
Until he left here, the Imperial Master was still puzzled.
Based on what he knew, he guessed that this person was indifferent and casual by nature, and did not like trouble and worries. He would probably say thank you to His Majesty for your kindness, but he would politely refuse, but he did not expect that he would actually agree.
There are still many pedestrians on the street at night.
The Imperial Master was thinking as he walked.
Could it be that he is aware of the relationship between His Majesty and the reincarnation of the underworld and wants to test it? Or is it that he feels that there are some problems in Dayan today, such as the corruption of the Changjing scholars, the domineering nobles, the continuous conquests in the north, the people's lack of food, and the sudden increase in food supply for the world's population?
There are issues such as not enough, and you want to comment or give advice?
The descendants of Fulongguan are different from generation to generation. Some people will do such a thing, and some will not. The national master is not sure at the moment.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out.
You don’t just want to see the palace, do you?
…
Three days later, the Taoist entered the palace.
It was evening at this time, and the setting sun was like gold, adding even more magnificence to the already majestic palace city.
Two Taoists walked slowly among them.
There is also a calico cat beside me.
The palace is extremely quiet today.
Song You looked left and right from time to time, and the cats around him also stopped from time to time, stretching their necks to look around. The accompanying eunuch quietly took a look, but did not even dare to remind the cats not to run around.
Changjing has been the ancient capital of several dynasties intermittently. The palace at this time was built by the previous dynasty and is still used by this dynasty, but with some expansion and renovation. Over the hundreds of years, it has gone through several ups and downs, ups and downs, and most of the time
It determines the fate of all people in the world and affects the entire world.
This is the center of power in the world.
Song You also visited the imperial palace in his previous life, but at that time the Forbidden City had become a tourist attraction. There were only scattered tourists in the palace square, and there was not much solemnity.
It seems that it has been abandoned by the times and died naturally.
The very different palace in front of me is still alive.
Not only is it alive, it is full of majesty. Forbidden troops can be seen everywhere. The dark armor is thick and majestic. The face is also blocked by the mask, only a pair of eyes are exposed, like a ghost. Occasionally, the palace maids and eunuchs are walking in the palace square.
He lowered his head, took small steps, and did not dare to make a sound.
This kind of palace is completely different from what we have seen in previous lives.
At this time, when I raised my head and looked at it, I felt very strange.
I wonder if every descendant of Fulong Temple has been here. Based on Song You's guess, his master most likely has never been here.
I don’t know what the other masters thought when they came here. In short, when Song You came here today accompanied by the national master, his feelings were very unusual.
What you see is naturally not all the exquisite architecture, nor the grandeur of the palace, but also other things.
As the sun sets, the light moves in the palace. There is a clear line on the square-tiled palace square. One side is illuminated by the sun and turns golden, while the other side sinks into the night little by little. After a while, only the glazed tile roof is left in the sky.
It was slightly up, reflecting the sparkling light.
The world gradually darkened.
Everything in Anle Palace was pure and peaceful.
There was no singing, dancing, shengxiao, or clouds of palace maids. There were only bright lights like daylight, a few banquet tables for guests and hosts, and a few imperial guards.
Sitting at the top was an old man, dressed in black and gold attire. He was in good spirits and stood up to greet the visitor.
Song You followed the Imperial Master, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but look at him.
This emperor is really no ordinary emperor.
If we talk about emperors, except for a few puppets, most of them are the Nine-Fifth Emperor. It is difficult to find anyone with higher status and more power than him in the world. But in fact, among these Nine-Five Emperors, there are also many mediocre people.
.
Even if this person is not super capable, he is by no means mediocre.
Dayan is really the most powerful dynasty in history, and this is also the period when Dayan is at its most powerful. No matter how much credit belongs to this emperor in this prosperous era, he is destined to be famous throughout the ages, and will be often mentioned in history by future generations.
I saw a name.
"I have met Your Majesty."
The Imperial Master first stepped forward and bowed, and then said: "Finally, I have lived up to your Majesty's trust and invited the Taoist friends from Fulong Temple here."
Song You also immediately bowed and saluted: "Fulong Guan Song You has met His Majesty."
"Hahaha, Immortal Master, no gift."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Beside the Immortal Master is..."
"This is Empress Sanhua who travels the world with me."
"It turns out that this is Empress Sanhua. She is indeed beautiful and magical. No wonder some people have bad intentions." The emperor said and laughed, "But it is bold to dare to use the banner of empress."
"It made His Majesty laugh."
"Please have a seat, please have a seat."
The emperor asked the two people and the cat to sit down, and then said: "I have long heard of Fulong Temple's name, and also heard of the immortal master's deeds. It is my great fortune to finally see it today."
"Don't dare."
"Immortal masters don't have to be restrained. Speaking of which, when Dayan was founded, it was thanks to the help of the founder of Fulongguan. Decades ago, when Dayan was weak, it was also thanks to the advice of the immortal master of Fulongguan. Whether it is in this world or in the world,
The royal family of Dayan cannot live without Fulong Temple." The emperor complimented him, "This meeting is considered a fate, so I would like to toast the immortal master first."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome..."
Song You quickly raised his glass and faced it from a distance.
Then he looked to the other side.
There was already a tall man sitting there. When the emperor stood up earlier, he also stood up, but did not speak.
"This general..."
"This is the famous General Chen Xin and Chen Ziyi today." The Imperial Master said with a smile, "I wonder if you have ever heard of the general's name?"
"Like thunder!"
Song You said, "I have admired you for a long time, and I have admired you for a long time."
"Chen has met the immortal master."
Chen Ziyi also cupped his fists and returned the salute, then narrowed his eyes, looked him over, and asked: "I see that the immortal master looks familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
"When the apricot blossoms first bloomed, outside the East City Gate, the general had just been recalled to the capital. I also happened to come back from Changshan Mountain to enjoy the flowers. I was fortunate to have met the general once." Song You still felt amazing at this time, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
Just like the person in the rumors, now he is sitting face to face, drinking tea and talking.
"That's so! No wonder I feel that the immortal master looks familiar!"
"The general only feels familiar to me below, but to me, the general is very familiar with me."
"oh?"
"I like to listen to books. Not long after I came down from the mountain, I stayed in Yidu and listened to the general's stories in Goulan for half a year." Song You said, "After traveling for two years, I often heard about the general's deeds."
"The world exaggerates, but Chen doesn't dare to take it seriously." Chen Ziyi said modestly, "On the other hand, Chen has heard about Mr.'s deeds a long time ago. He is like a god and has always admired him very much. This time I heard that His Majesty was hosting a banquet for Mr., so he had the nerve to ask for one.
Seat, I want to come and see the world, I hope you won’t be offended, sir.”
"How dare you..."
The emperor was in front, so it was difficult for the two of them to talk much.
As the emperor invited Song You and the Imperial Master to take their seats, Chen Ziyi also sat down and soon returned to silence, eating food, drinking wine, and listening to a few people chatting.
