Lin Qingxue also changed into an ancient costume. In fact, the most important change was her hairstyle. At first glance, Lin Qingxue was wearing a green dress and her hair was rolled up. She really looked like a lady.
This made Lin Qingxue feel very novel.
Lin Qingxue was full of curiosity about Tianzhou, but Chen Yang did not intend to take Lin Qingxue around. He only wanted to walk around in the Imperial City. Because relatively speaking, the Imperial City was the safest.
After taking a shower, Chen Yang, Lin Qingxue and Qiao Ning got on the carriage. Biyue and Bi Tao also accompanied them, and a special groom came to drive the carriage.
Chen Yang is considered a well-known person in the imperial city, so all the configurations are quite complete.
On this day, both Chen Yang and Qiao Ning accompanied Lin Qingxue. First, they went to the best Dongyang Tower for a meal, where the drunken fish tasted the best. After that, they walked around, such as the ruins of the Great Mie Temple and the Sifang Stone Forest.
, as well as Xipohu, and other places of interest.
In the evening, Chen Yang even received an invitation from Emperor Xuan Zhenghao to attend a banquet in the palace.
Xuan Zhenghao's information was extremely terrifying. Knowing that Chen Yang had brought Lin Qingxue here, he asked Chen Yang to bring Lin Qingxue into the palace.
"Ah, I want to see the emperor." Lin Qingxue suddenly became anxious after hearing the news in Shaowei's mansion.
That's the emperor!
"Brother, I think I don't have to go. I don't know any etiquette about this! Do you want to kneel down?" Lin Qingxue backed down.
Chen Yang said: "Well, you shouldn't have to kneel down. But you have to do it a little bit. This is also respectful. After all, this is the custom here. When we go to a place, we must respect the customs of a place. Don't worry, the emperor knows that you are from
He will understand that you have come from all over the world. He wants you to go because he wants you to see more. This is a good intention, so don’t miss the opportunity."
Qiao Ning also said: "Yes, Qingxue, Sister Ning is here. You don't have to be afraid of anything!"
Lin Qingxue said: "Okay then!"
The imperial city at night is brilliantly lit.
In Tianzhouli, we are not in the age of science and technology. Many cities are very quiet at night, or even dark. This is an inevitable phenomenon in feudal society. Even in the wide world, this is the case in some counties.
But as the symbol of the Dakang Dynasty, the Imperial City's grandeur at night could be compared with some first-tier cities in the world.
Chen Yang once asked Xuan Zhenghao if he had ever thought about building a modern socialist country.
Xuan Zhenghao shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it."
Chen Yang also knew that even if Xuan Zhenghao had gained real power, there would still be great risks in making rash changes.
Xuan Zhenghao's answer is that it is not that he is afraid of risks, but that Tianzhou and the Great Thousand World are different. The reason why the Great Thousand World has reached this point is that it has experienced countless nirvanas and is protected by the way of heaven!
Although high technology also exists in other worlds, the social system of Tianzhou has been formed, and the Dakang Dynasty is surrounded by wealthy wolves. Once Xuan Zhenghao makes a wrong move, it will lead to disaster. So.
, Xuan Zhenghao will only develop in magic, but not in high technology.
Furthermore, there is an even more important point.
High technology destroys the aura of the world. In Tianzhou, it is the monks who hold the power. To destroy its aura is to shake the foundation of the monks. If Xuan Zhenghao develops high technology, he will be against the monks again.
This is just like in the history of the world, those emperors rashly tried to shake down some aristocratic families, and later met with disaster.
One of the important reasons why Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty perished was that his actions such as opening the imperial examination shook the foundation of the family.
And what Li Yuan represents is a powerful family member!
Although later generations have reported that Yang Guang was in a bad way, it is obviously not credible. Because slandering Yang Guang is a historical inevitability. If the new dynasty overthrows the old dynasty, it will naturally have to go through all kinds of crimes. Otherwise, how can it be called a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?
Neither Shang Zhou nor Sui Yang Emperor could escape this fate.
Of course, this does not mean that they are good people.
It's just not that unbearable.
In this history, how can the emperor be judged by the word "good man"?
Chen Yang and his party entered the palace smoothly.
Xuan Zhenghao did not have a banquet with the ministers, but met with Chen Yang and his entourage in the Yuqian Hall together with the queen.
The empress was called Yongle, and Xuan Zhenghao and Yongle had a very good relationship. Yongle was the master of Yongle Palace back then, and Xuan Zhenghao wanted to wipe out all the sects in the Kang Dynasty. Yongle led the entire palace to surrender, and she herself sacrificed herself.
Yu Xuan Zhenghao.
Regardless of whether it was true or false at the beginning, now, Xuan Zhenghao and Yongle are very much in love and have a child.
Yongle was also impressed by Xuan Zhenghao's talent and was willing to be his woman.
The Yuqian Palace is luxurious and elegant.
Eighteen palace maids in white attire stood aside.
Xuan Zhenghao, wearing a bright yellow robe, sat at the top with Yongle, who was extremely beautiful and dressed in palace attire.
When Chen Yang and others came in, they wanted to kneel down and worship.
Xuan Zhenghao knew that Chen Yang and his party did not like to kneel down, so he waved his hand first and said: "We are all members of our own family, so there is no need to be polite. Come and take a seat!"
Chen Yang and Qiao Ning no longer knelt, but still bowed to show respect.
Lin Qingxue also followed suit. What she did was not very standard, and people couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
After that, we sat down separately.
The banquet consisted of each having a tatami coffee table, with fine wine, fruits and vegetables, and meats placed in front of them.
Next, naturally there was another polite exchange. Xuan Zhenghao welcomed Lin Qingxue and asked Yongle to take Lin Qingxue around.
Qiao Ning was afraid that Lin Qingxue would be constrained and uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to invite her and said, "Your Majesty, I will also go shopping with your empress and Qingxue."
Xuan Zhenghao smiled slightly and said, "That's okay!"
After that, Qiao Ning, Lin Qingxue and Yongle left the Yuqian Palace.
The crowd of maids in palace attire were also waved away by Xuan Zhenghao.
In the rainy hall, the light is soft.
The delicious food in front of Chen Yang was full of color and aroma, and the aroma wafted into his nose.
"I heard that you came to see me during my retreat," Xuan Zhenghao said.
There are many people under Xuan Zhenghao who are more powerful than Chen Yang. But Xuan Zhenghao only looks up to Chen Yang now, which makes the officials in the court not understand.
But Chen Yang understood why. It was because of his special destiny. Moreover, his rapid rise in the past few years really made Xuan Zhenghao look at him.
In other words, Xuan Zhenghao is optimistic about Chen Yang's future.
Moreover, Xuan Zhenghao also benefited a lot from Chen Yang.
But despite this, Chen Yang always treated Xuan Zhenghao respectfully and did not dare to show any arrogance.
No matter how close the relationship is, you still have to understand the art of the emperor. What's more, the relationship between the two is not close yet.
At the end of the day, it's just mutual benefit.
At this time, Chen Yang was no longer as anxious as before, so when Xuan Zhenghao asked now, Chen Yang was not in a hurry. This was mainly because Yuan Jue's words inspired him.
"The general has indeed come to see the emperor." Chen Yang said.
Xuan Zhenghao said: "I can probably guess why you came to me."
Chen Yang couldn't help but be amazed and said: "You know"
Xuan Zhenghao said: "It's about the spiritual master."
Chen Yang was surprised and said: "You actually know about Ling Zun?"
Xuan Zhenghao laughed and said: "This matter is indeed very secret, but the Spirit Lord has actually set up a stronghold in Tianzhou. A long time ago, I found out some of their details through the magic book. It's just that they thought they still had it.
It’s just perfect.”
Chen Yang said: "Your Majesty, since you know about Lingzun, you know that they have a big conspiracy. What do you think about this?"
He wanted to know Xuan Zhenghao's attitude.
Xuan Zhenghao smiled playfully, and then asked: "If you were me, what would you do?"
Chen Yang was stunned, obviously not expecting Xuan Zhenghao to ask this question.
"This" Chen Yang couldn't answer for a while.
Xuan Zhenghao said: "You have to know that human beings are greedy animals. This kind of greed does not only belong to mortals. Whether it is mortals, us, or immortals in the fairy world. As long as we are human, we can never let go of this kind of greed in our bones.
greedy people
What kind of people are forced into a desperate situation and can still ignore the enemies outside and continue to fight in the nest? So, you tell me about this matter, what can I do? I will unite the Yuntian Sect, the God Clan, and the Yuhua Sect. Do you think they
Will we unite?”
"They won't!" Chen Yang said honestly.
Xuan Zhenghao said: "If I face the Spirit Lord alone, believe it or not, they will soon attack me later."
Chen Yang said with some frustration: "I believe it!"
Xuan Zhenghao said: "I have read such a fable a long time ago, called A Drop of Honey. The story tells that there was a traveler walking alone on the desert, and suddenly a group of hungry wolves appeared behind him, chasing him to pack up.
He was so surprised that he ran desperately, fighting for his life. The hungry wolf was close at hand, and he was almost exhausted. At this moment, a well appeared in front of him, and he jumped in without thinking about his life.
When he thought he was saved, he didn't know that not only was there no water in the well, but there were also many venomous snakes waiting for a delicious meal to be delivered to his door. He was so frightened that he reached out randomly, hoping to catch something to save him.
Fortunately, God followed his wishes. He grabbed a small tree in the middle of the well. Although there were hungry wolves above and poisonous snakes below, he was trapped in a dilemma, but he still managed to escape.
safe.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, a strange sound suddenly came from the other end of the tree root. He looked around in shock and saw a group of mice biting the root of the tree with their sharp teeth. This tree was his life.
The little tree's days are numbered. In this life
At the moment of death, he suddenly saw a drop of honey on the leaf in front of him, so he forgot about the hungry wolf above, the poisonous snake below, and the small tree that was about to be bitten by mice. He closed his eyes and stuck out his tongue.
, lick that drop of honey with all your heart.”
After Xuan Zhenghao finished speaking, he said: "Everyone has a drop of honey in their heart. This drop of honey is greedy human nature!"
