The back garden of Zhennan Bo's Mansion is quite large, and there are more than one, one big garden and one small garden. Xie Zhenqing went to the big garden and walked around in a circle. If you go slower, it can take less than half an hour.
Although he looks healthy, he still walks in a leisurely manner. Walking is really a kind of enjoyment for him.
Not far away, his maids saw his maids in the corridor and felt that there was a handsome man walking with an umbrella in the drizzle in the distance, which was an unexpected surprise for them.
"Look! It's the Crown Prince!"
"The prince is becoming more and more noble. Among the handsome young masters mentioned outside, who can compare to the prince in our house?"
"That is, if a few years ago, the prince was in good health and went out to be seen by those people, how could there be any other princes in the capital?"
The maids felt a sense of indignation when they thought that none of the famous young masters in the capital had a heir apparent.
In their opinion, the prince's appearance, talents, knowledge, and temperament are all outstanding. Even his temper is good most of the time. He just has to recuperate on weekdays and rarely comes out. This makes those who are not as good as the prince
Get a good reputation.
Hongdao helped Xie Zhenqing walk up to a small pavilion with a stone table and four round stools. He put away his umbrella, and Hongdao wiped a round stool for Xie Zhenqing before letting Xie Zhenqing sit down.
Xie Zhenqing smiled and sat down, looking thoughtfully at the flowers in the rain, with pattering raindrops, and suddenly turned to ask Hongdao, who was waiting with his hands down: "The elixir you placed on the fourth floor of the Long'an Emperor's Mausoleum has not been noticed yet.
?”
Hongdao was stunned and replied in a low voice: "Sir, the tomb of Emperor Long'an has been inspected several times. If it was placed too shallowly, it would arouse suspicion, so it was placed deeper and it has not been discovered yet."
Xie Zhenqing looked at him with a bit of disgust and said speechlessly: "It has not been discovered for so long, so it is buried too deep."
"It didn't matter if it was slower in the past, but now at the critical moment of dragon energy's transformation, we can't let it go."
After thinking about it, Xie Zhenqing said: "I heard that Yu Qianzhi's situation is not very good. Please ask Yu Qianzhi to go to the Long'an Emperor's mausoleum to take shelter from the wind. When he arrives, he will naturally discover the elixir by chance."
Hongdao agreed without much expression. Yu Qianzhi was originally one of his own, and he got to this position thanks to his own support. However, people will naturally change their minds as the tide rises. In recent years, he has lost his enthusiasm, but he has not broken up with each other.
, now that the young master wants to use it, naturally he can help.
Xie Zhenqing asked again: "How is Prince Qi's palace doing now?"
Hongdao replied: "There are already several people available. They are not the ones who have been inserted now. They have been in Prince Qi's Mansion for a long time. Now they have been promoted and can get close to Prince Qi."
Xie Zhenqing was quite satisfied with the infiltration into Prince Qi's Mansion.
Xie Zhenqing nodded, but before he said anything, he suddenly stared at a place and said "Huh".
That direction seems to be...
He couldn't help but stand up.
A Taoist temple in Beijing
This Taoist temple in the drizzle is quiet and simple. Even because of its strong Taoist architectural style, shrouded in rain and fog, it seems that it is not a place that should be in the world. However, this Taoist temple clearly stands in a place in the capital.
, only here is a little quieter on weekdays.
In the side hall of the main hall in front, Liu Zhan was receiving guests, and the aroma of tea overflowed.
This guest was also wearing a monk's robe, and his temperament was a bit mean and unapproachable. His face had no expression, and he had a gloomy look that even ordinary people could easily detect and be afraid of.
It was none other than Huo Wuyong, the alchemy Taoist priest employed by the emperor.
"Have you heard? Yu Qianzhi intends to meditate for a period of time?" Liu Zhanzheng asked about this matter.
Huo Wuyong naturally heard about it. Not only did he hear about it, he also saw it from a distance when Yu Qianzhi left.
Yu Qianzhi left in a hurry and seemed to be trying to avoid the limelight. However, if he was just trying to avoid the limelight when leaving Beijing at this time, it was not Yu Qianzhi's behavior.
Although Huo Wuyong seemed to only know how to make alchemy, but he was able to stay in and out of the palace and hang out in front of the emperor for so long. Huo Wuyong was not a simple person, and he would not think of Yu Qianzhi as a simple person.
Yu Qianzhi was involved with the former King of Lu, and this matter was not a secret.
"Perhaps it is to atone for sin?" Huo Wuyong said, "This will make the emperor less angry with him."
As a Taoist living in the capital, offending the emperor is not a good thing and is not good for practice. It is not incomprehensible that Yu Qianzhi wants to atone for his sins.
After saying that, Huo Wuyong looked tired again and sighed: "We have basically collected the medicine for making the Great Return Pill. Unfortunately, we are missing the last ingredient. We have searched all over the capital, and none of them can be used."
He added: "There are a few candidates in other counties, but unfortunately their identities are a little hard to tell. More importantly, they haven't really entered the Tao yet, so now they are just staring."
As he spoke, he mentioned the names of several people.
Liu Zhan was silent for a long time and sighed: "I have come into contact with most of these people. Not only do their family backgrounds not be simple, but they are all destined to be outstanding people and have some connections."
And they are all young talents under the age of thirty. They are expected to break through the limits in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and martial arts. If you choose one, you can become a pillar of the imperial court in the future. Even if you cannot be an official, you can still make achievements in the field.
, will last forever.
It is really... such a pity for such people to end their lives and use their hearts to make medicine for the old emperor.
There are also a number of injuries.
Huo Wuyong smiled bitterly: "There is no way. If the emperor wants to use it, no matter how good his life is, he has to fill it. Even if he knows that given time, he can contribute to the court and benefit the country, but what can he do? Can it be compared with the emperor's life?"
Both of them have been in official circles for a long time, and they know in their hearts that no matter how talented the person is, they will die even with just an imperial order. This is the terrible thing about power.
And to be honest, the country and the country are like mountains and seas. Although these people are considered outstanding people, it will not be a big deal if they are lost. It is really too much to think that if one of them is missing, it will affect the artifact.
Do not look back more than ten years ago, even if you were a prince, you would be dead if you died.
Only when the country is at a critical moment are there people who are irreplaceable for a short period of time, and only for a short period of time.
There are no heroes who conquered the world, even famous generals and military advisors who are famous in history. Once the world is pacified, can they be killed like chickens?
This is when the critical moment has passed and it is no longer irreplaceable.
When the two of them talked about this, they remained silent and just drank tea. After a long time, Huo Wuyong got up and walked around the room. He looked at the old man sitting opposite him for a long time and asked: "I shouldn't ask you this, but you
After all, I have some friendship and have worked together for many years. Is it too conspicuous for you to help Dai Wangfu?"
Liu Zhan was silent and smiled for a long time: "How could I not understand what you are worried about? Don't worry, I have reported it to the emperor and obtained his consent before I went to help the king."
"You old fox!" Huo Wuyong also laughed after hearing this.
Since he was not blinded by Conglong Zhigong and knew how to measure, there was nothing to worry about, so he smiled. Suddenly, their expressions changed at the same time, and they both looked at one place. 1603415194
