The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty did not need eunuchs. He had his own private team and private financial system, which was enough to compete with foreign dynasties!
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs began to be used on a large scale in the palace.
These eunuchs replaced the original team...
Of course, there are also reasons why the emperor's personal team was corroded by Confucianism and by foreign dynasties.
As for the eunuchs who live alone and are slaves to the emperor's family, it is impossible for them to join the Confucian trend of foreign dynasties!
In this historical process of Yu in this world, although the difference between internal and external dynasties is constantly shrinking, the power of eunuchs continues to grow.
But the emperor still had a personal team besides eunuchs.
And Taishitai is a very important part of it.
People here collude with Confucian scholars and foreign dynasties, which means they are cheating on others.
And no organization will be merciful to such a pickpocketing guy!
The Feng family is doomed!
…
"Luck is the most mysterious thing!"
Tao Xiaowu couldn't help but sigh.
Last time, I spent about one-fifth of the Hou Mansion's energy to practice, and as a result, I immediately encountered a catastrophe.
Fortunately, he had a warning sign, otherwise if he had used up a few more points of luck, he might not have been able to avoid the disaster.
It’s no wonder that the high-spirited Taoists of all ages have been involved in the power struggle in the human world, and few of them have been able to escape unscathed!
Most cultivators want to avoid the world of mortals and practice pure practice.
At this moment, Tao Xiaowu could clearly feel that with the help of the powerful, although he could get protection and many benefits, it would also bring more dangers and troubles.
For example, Tao Xiaowu originally relied on the power of Yang Fuhou to protect him in order to deal with the threat of the Hengting ghost uncle.
But when he came to Yangfuhou to make wine as a sacrifice, he offended the powerful Confucian sect.
It can be seen that being involved in the power struggle in the world is extremely dangerous, just like sailing a boat on the angry sea. If you fail, the boat will be destroyed and everyone will die!
But then again, having this kind of luck also has great benefits.
For example, as soon as his luck skyrocketed, he immediately sensed danger, so he used the sacrifice technique to survive this disaster!
If it weren't for this kind of induction, thinking that the fate of the Hou Mansion could protect him, then he might not even know how he died when he died!
At the same time, Tao Xiaowu gained a deeper understanding of luck.
He looked at the light wheel of luck in Niwan's domain and murmured to himself: "This is not the luck of the Marquis, but my luck.
Well, this is like a salary given to me by the Hou Mansion. Since it is given to me, it is mine!
Moreover, this luck is not given out all at once.
The difference is that the salary is paid on a monthly basis.
But luck is not distributed on a monthly basis, it seems to be only given during the New Year...
Therefore, I can actually use some luck to practice and strengthen my soul.
As long as it's not too much, there's no problem.
Well, one-fifth is too much, and may even cause a crisis. So I estimate that if one-tenth is consumed, it shouldn’t be a big problem..."
As long as you become a ghost immortal, you can initially escape from the physical body and live freely.
Even if you are really in danger, you can still abandon your physical body, disintegrate your body, and escape your soul.
However, Tao Xiaowu felt that although he had consumed one-tenth of his luck, it would not cause any chain reactions.
However, he thought about it and held back and did not take action.
The reason is very simple, it is better to be still than to move.
Although I am 70 or 80% certain that there will be no problem, what if there is really trouble?
Besides, with Tao Xiaowu's current soul strength, he can almost barely practice the water and fire internal refining.
It seems that it is better to practice the internal refining technique of water and fire as planned.
No matter how many faults Tao Xiaowu has, he does have one good thing, that is, he has strong mobility and can do whatever he thinks of.
Immediately, I started setting up the Dharma altar, preparing rituals, and practicing.
Originally, when Tao Xiaowu was training those Yin soldiers, many things were improvised and used as they were.
But now I am practicing internally and strive for the best in everything, without any negligence.
It is even more impossible to replace the pools and fire marshes with copper tripods and other things, but they must be built according to rituals and procedures.
First of all, the pool must be made of stone on the day of Rengui. The inside is square and the outside is round. The lower center is called Kan Gua, with a radius of five feet, and a talisman is chiseled inside.
As for the fire marsh, it must be made of Bingding sun, carved in stone, square on the inside and round on the outside, with Li Gua in the lower center, with a radius of three feet wide, and runes carved into the pool.
Gaiyin belongs to water and Li belongs to fire.
Rengui belongs to water and Bingding belongs to fire!
In addition to creating this pool of water and fire, there are also many details about the water and fire.
To get real water, you need to go to the east well at dawn and get the first bucket of water every day that has not been used by others.
The real fire is to use poplar charcoal and bitter bamboo facing the sun at noon, and use incense to ignite it.
Although these things are trivial, they are also troublesome.
However, it is actually not too troublesome for Tao Xiaowu.
There are so many people in the Marquis Mansion, so he can be ready with just one sentence!
These things had been ordered and prepared by Tao Xiaowu many days in advance before Tao Xiaowu even started internal refining.
At this point, it was already ready.
More importantly, Tao Xiaowu does not plan to practice the fire refining technique for the time being, but only the water refining technique.
Just like when Tao Xiaowu first refined the Yin Soldiers, refining by fire is too dangerous, and Tao Xiaowu is not too sure yet.
The only way is to refine it with water first to cleanse the impurities, and then wait for the soul to become stronger and stronger, and then refine it with fire.
So now that Tao Xiaowu is practicing, everything is ready.
The first thing is to become real water...
Although it is according to the French method, the first bucket of well water in the east at dawn is regarded as the real water.
However, even though it is said to be real water, it is actually just ordinary water.
Only by guiding the moonlight to descend and mix it into the water can ordinary water be transformed into real water!
The same goes for true fire, which must lead the sun essence to transform into true fire.
Of course, Tao Xiaowu doesn't need real fire now.
Tao Xiaowu was already quite proficient in these things when he took Rijing Yuehua on a daily basis, so there is no need to say more.
As the sun and moon were guided to lower the true water and true fire, the pool of water rippled with layers of clear waves, as if there were circles of moonlight.
And the flames in the fire swamp seemed to be dyed with a layer of gold.
However, it was nothing more than that, and no bigger vision appeared.
As the legal domain expands and covers everything, it's completely different!
The pool that originally looked like a slight change in the mortal world changed in the realm of law and turned into a vast ocean.
The ocean was black, as if it were extremely deep and bottomless, but there was light like silver fish rippling and spreading between the slight ripples, and it started to move.
It is the so-called water that mixes with Tianyuan, and the jade liquid is filled with golden waves. The true water falls from the knot, and there is a lot of clear and wonderful Qi.
