358, the Qing people are self-cleaning (seeking full order)
"You don't need to blame yourself..."
"After this period of time, if you still want to marry me, senior brother will grant you your wish."
Bai Guidao.
Logically speaking, those who practice Taoism should not care about these worldly things.
But it's not.
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.
Even if you become an immortal and attain enlightenment, you will still have your own worries and worries, and everything will not go as planned.
The immortals in the world of mortals are also immortals.
As he said this, he walked up to Yang Yuhuan and touched her head.
Yang Yuhuan's pink cheeks were flushed. She didn't resist, but was like an obedient cat.
He leaned close to her.
"It's getting late now, would King Lu want to stay overnight?"
"I will send my servants to clean up King Lu's room now..."
Yang Xuanyan was beside him and reminded him softly.
Although he felt a little disappointed when he saw the scene between Bai Gui and his own daughter, he was still satisfied overall. After all, Bai Gui had changed his mind and agreed to Yang Yuhuan.
From now on, as the two of them spend more time together, they will naturally develop feelings for each other.
It doesn't matter whether you agree or not.
"No need, it is inconvenient for me to stay overnight in the Yang Mansion to avoid misunderstanding in the court..."
"Furthermore, the Wuhous of various quarters will not dare to stop me because of the curfew."
Bai Gui said casually.
Now he is no longer the ninth-grade scholar who just entered the officialdom and needed to borrow the power of Princess Jinxian to leave the city during the curfew. Instead, he is the majestic King Lu, the emperor's father, and the curfew can't even stop him.
Likewise, he was still in charge of the deployment of military power in each branch of Wuhou Pu.
There is another reason. Once he stays at someone else's house, something will inevitably happen, so it is better to be cautious.
Yang Xuanyan obviously didn't know about Bai Gui's passive skills. He laughed and said, "King Lu is right. How dare these Wu Hous stop Wang Jia? They might be afraid of him when they see King Lu."
Bai Gui smiled and said nothing more.
Stop talking.
We talked about a few other things.
Everyone in the Yang family sent Bai Gui off to the door of the mansion. Finally, Yang Yuhuan and Bai Gui said goodbye with a look of nostalgia.
…
Time flies.
Two spring and autumn years passed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Gui successively handed over military power to the young emperor Li Hao and the ministers of the court.
However, he was well versed in the art of checks and balances, and did not entrust all military power to one person. Instead, he restrained each other to maintain balance.
From then on, everyone in the world knew that Bai Gui, a powerful minister who was responsible for Yi Yin and Huo Guang's affairs, did not cling to power and did not use it to advance or retreat, but was truly a noble and upright leader for the ages.
As long as he doesn't do anything reckless in the end, no matter what he does, with such merit, he is worthy of the world's praise.
In addition, Bai Gui is not like Zhang Juzheng, who has criticized crimes, such as abusing power for personal gain, cheating in examinations, living extravagantly, etc. He advocates frugality and has no relatives to protect him. He is simply a perfect person.
Although there is an elder brother Bai Huang in this life, Bai Huang entered the official career earlier than Bai Gui, so naturally there is no protection.
It's just... Just like Zhang Juzheng and Empress Dowager Li were widely rumored to have an affair, after Bai Gui, the powerful prime minister, abdicated, some people also spread rumors that Bai Gui stayed on the dragon bed and had an affair with Empress Dowager Wu.
Some good people even wrote: "White beauty and harmony, beauty and disharmony, the black-hearted prime minister is lying on the dragon's bed."
(The original couplet is Ai Zixiu's couplet mocking Zhang Juzheng: Ai Zixiu, self-study, don't repair, the white-faced scholar carries the tiger list. Zhang Juzheng, if he is not upright, the black-hearted prime minister is lying on the dragon bed.)
Because Bai Gui's word "Meihe" is taken from "The Analects of Confucius", and "harmony" is taken from "Knowing harmony and disharmony, do not treat it with etiquette."
This sentence was taken out of context. It means that you know that sleeping on a dragon bed at night is wrong and your reputation will be ruined. Now you are so disrespectful of etiquette...
However, the pure will become clear by itself, and the turbid will become turbid by itself.
Bai Gui just smiled at the rumor and ignored it.
If he ignores it, he will lose.
This little stigma is nothing to him. Similarly, even if he takes it seriously, the world's mouths and roads cannot be stopped.
Prince Lu's Mansion, study room.
Bai Gui Nian Jue, Huang Ting Jin Dan shines like a pearl, generous and bright, then his lower abdomen shrinks slightly, leads from the abdomen to the throat, and spits out a breath of turbid air.
"The earthly immortal will become a small Zhoutian without leakage body, and the heavenly immortal will become a big Zhoutian without leakage body..."
"Logically speaking, I have been practicing Taoism for a long time. Even if the waste gas is discharged from my body, it still smells musky and sweet. But at this moment, the turbid gas is discharged, but it is smellier than before..."
"It seems that this is getting rid of the turbidity in my root nature, and my cultivation qualifications are slowly improving."
He looked slightly happy and thought.
Cultivation does not say that qualifications are static. Every time you reach a realm, your cultivation qualifications will increase accordingly. And in the realm of Jindan, the speed of improvement is undoubtedly the fastest.
Because if the body of Little Zhou Tian is flawless, it will be the golden elixir of flawlessness for one’s own body.
If it is to be flawless, it is inevitable to wash the essence, cut out the marrow, and change the shape of the fetus, so as to fill in the gaps and make the white wall flawless.
"When I first condensed the golden elixir, I reached the fifth level. After more than ten years, I only reached the sixth level. Although they are slightly faster than Master, but if I want to reach the ninth level..."
"It takes at least fifty years of cultivation!"
He stood up and sighed.
Today’s Taoist practice has been completed.
His golden elixir combines the divine power of Fuxi and Nuwa. The potential of the golden elixir is much higher than that of ordinary golden elixirs. Therefore, after the elixir is completed, the golden elixir is stable in nature, and it is more difficult to return the elixir with jade liquid than ordinary golden elixirs...
The maid comes in on time.
Today's breakfast has been prepared.
Very simple.
A bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes.
But this porridge is made from spiritual rice that he specially sent people to plant on the border of Shushan Mountain. The water is also not simple, it is made from the melted snow of Kunlun Mountain.
The side dishes are also made from some medicinal materials, which can replenish the essence.
Bai Gui finished eating slowly.
"King Lu..."
"The Queen Mother has come to invite you to the palace today to reminisce about the past. What do you mean?"
The maid finished clearing the dishes.
Asked in a low voice.
"Rejected!"
"I practice Taoism now and don't care about worldly affairs. If the Queen Mother has anything to talk to me about, I am a man and it is inconvenient for me to walk in the harem. I used to do it for government affairs. Ahem...but now...no need..."
"The Queen Mother is just an ordinary person who hates seeing each other... A few days ago, a snow lotus was delivered to the house. The snow lotus is good for beauty. Please give it to the Queen Mother for use..."
Bai Gui wiped his mouth and said smoothly.
Concubine Wu Hui did not have the blessing of cultivating Taoism, and she was already quite old. Even though she was still beautiful, in the eyes of Bai Gui, the golden elixir master, she could not conceal her decline.
But because of his spiritual practice, his appearance remained unchanged and he became more prosperous.
A few days ago, Concubine Wu Hui came to see him specifically and wanted to answer questions in the hall to see if she could practice Taoism.
Bai Gui was also extremely annoyed by Concubine Wu Hui, so this time when Concubine Wu Hui came to invite him, he flatly refused.
