The Sanqing Palace was empty and silent. Except for Zhao Ran and Zhuge Jiaguang and Yang Fuwen who were holding Ruyi and holding a fly whisk behind him, there was no one else, which made it seem even more unfathomable.
Li Hong walked forward slowly amidst the faint sound of Taoist music, stopped in front of the worship mat, bowed his head and wished Abbot Zhao a safe future.
Zhao Ran stretched out his hand: "Qingyuan-kun, there is no need to be polite, sit down."
Li Hong stood up, and a futon flew down from nowhere, pushing the worship mat under his feet to the corner next to the main hall.
Li Hong said hurriedly: "There is no seat for the little king in front of the abbot."
Zhao Ran waved his robe sleeves lightly, and a strong force came to him, gentle but irresistible, pulling him into the seat from a distance of more than three feet.
As for this skill, it is impossible to achieve it without cultivating at the Golden Core Realm. There are also people in the Goryeo Palace who went to the Ming Dynasty to study and learn. Most of them joined the casual sect. After cultivating at the Huangguan Realm, they can return to their hometown and be accepted by all parties.
To worship, it is rare to see a scholar in the whole country.
There are also a few people who are lucky enough to be accepted into the Xuanmen authentic sects such as Guange, but they have no time or interest to return home in glory.
Therefore, as the younger brother of King Li Xian, it was rare for him to see Gao Xiu. He was immediately shocked by Zhao Ran's move and did not dare to make any mistakes.
Zhao Ran asked Qingyuan Lord Li Hong about his life in Beijing like a spring breeze. Li Hong replied: "The heavenly country is graceful and the streets and streets are extremely prosperous."
Zhao Ran asked him again what his wish was for paying tribute in person this time. Li Hong knelt down and kowtowed: "I came to the country now, firstly because of my surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and secondly because I made a special trip to pay homage to Abbot Zhao."
The first sentence talks about the meaning of waiting for the Ming Dynasty to be canonized. King Li Xi of Goryeo died of illness the month before, and his brother finally succeeded him. Li Xi took over the throne. However, the succession must be canonized by the Ming Dynasty to be considered legal, so he came here to ask for the title. The title has been sealed to this day.
He has not yet been killed, so Zhao Ran still calls him Qingyuan Jun.
The second sentence is more straightforward, without any roundabout twists, and makes it clear that he is here to pay a visit to Zhao Ran.
"Although Xiao Wang was in Goryeo, he had also heard about the great deeds of the abbot. He led the army to quell the rebellion and re-established the imperial court. This is an immortal feat. Xiao Wang sincerely admires him. Xiao Wang also heard that the abbot had no talent or qualifications.
You may also be brought into practice by the abbot, so I took the liberty to come here in the hope of being able to teach the Dharma."
Zhao Ran muttered: "My martial art needs to be rooted in the fertile soil of faith, otherwise it will be half the result with twice the result."
Li Hong said: "Although Goryeo is located in a remote place, people's hearts are devoted to the Tao and they admire China."
Zhao Ran nodded and asked Yang Fuwen next to him: "What was the credibility of Korea last year?"
Yang Fuwen replied: "1.1 million Gui."
Zhao Ran fell silent for a moment.
Li Hong was immediately ashamed and anxious: "It is a small country with few people. After all, they have little knowledge and insufficient understanding of the Tao, so their faith is somewhat lacking. However, the big families in our country are all Taoist believers. They pay homage every morning and dusk, and pay homage every year."
, I would never dare to miss it, and I hope the abbot will notice clearly."
Zhao Ran was still silent, and Li Xiang's mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately said: "Xiao Wang is actually worried about this. This time he came to the country with an unkind invitation. He hopes to invite some high-ranking scholars to go there.
I am conducting sermons in the lower country and enlightening and guiding the ignorant people of the lower country. I wonder if the abbot can be accommodating?"
This statement made Zhao Ran speak again: "Qingyuan Jun is interested. How about Pindao making an agreement with Qingyuan Jun?"
"Please abbot, please recommend some Taoist masters. The young king will treat you with the courtesy of a national teacher."
"Qingyuanjun can discuss with Daolu Secretary in detail when going to Goryeo. This is not Pindao's responsibility. What Pindao wants to agree with Qingyuanjun is that when Korea reaches two million Gui, Pindao will tell Qingyuanjun
For every first-level skill that goes up to two million guine from now on, Pindao will teach you the next level, okay?"
Li Hong sighed secretly. It was indeed a pity that he could not be taught the technique right away. But on the other hand, thinking about it, today's visit was actually a blessing. He got the promise of teaching the technique.
At this moment, I immediately started thinking about how to improve the Taoist sect's trust in Goryeo.
After coming down from Jilong Mountain, Li Xi told his entourage waiting at the foot of the mountain: "Apply to the Daolu Department as soon as possible, and I want to pay a visit." He briefly stated Zhao Ran's request.
The accompanying right-hand member of the Uijeongbu government quickly agreed and asked the officials of Honglu Temple to lead him to the Daolu Division first.
After getting on the carriage, the people in the living room followed the same carriage and supplemented the records of some of the details that had just been missed. After recording, they couldn't help but feel a little angry: "The Cock Cing Temple is a bit overbearing. One million Gui's credit is not enough. I, Goryeo,
With Goryeo’s system, even the True Master Hall doesn’t dictate things like this, right?”
Li Hong said: "Since you respect your country as the master, how can you make your own calculations? Don't play with these little tricks. The gains outweigh the losses."
Seeing that there still seemed to be a look of dissatisfaction on the face of the man from Se, Li Hong said nothing more and directly issued an edict in the evening, banishing him from the fourth rank of the Uijeong Government to the sixth rank of Gangwon Province as an inspector.
You Zan carefully inquired about the matter, and Li Hong said: "This man is not broad-minded, and he seems to have resentment towards the country. If he stays in the capital, he may damage the political affairs. Unfortunately, he has great literary talent, so he is sent out to write poems."
Then he said to the left and right: "I want to worship Abbot Zhao as my teacher, and pass the decree back. Whether I will enter the Tao this year or next year will depend on the efforts of the ministers. Whoever prevents me from entering the Tao, I will not let him."
towards!"
In mid-October, Li Xun finally received the imperial edict of canonization approved by the court, and the emperor was canonized him as King Shunhuai to take charge of the state affairs of Goryeo; his wife Shen was conferred the title of Princess Renshun, and his son Li Min was conferred the title of Crown Prince Shunhuai.
After being entrusted with the title of Huagai Hall, Li Xian was finally able to secure his position as the leader of the country. Even if he stayed in the Ming Dynasty for another ten or eight years, no one would threaten his position and power.
When a banquet was held to celebrate him in the imperial garden, he looked relaxed and asked Emperor Longqing for his experience in merit cultivation. The emperor said: "This is simple. My Longqing Fund is expanding its shares. If King Shunhuai wants to know more, he might as well join
One point, after I finish my studies, I will set up a Shunhuai Fund when I go back. I will start practicing quickly! I was taught the Dharma by the abbot last year. To be honest, my cultivation talent is not high, but guess what?"
Li Hong joked: "Your Majesty, please tell me quickly, I'm going to be very anxious!"
The Emperor smiled and said: "I entered Taoism two months later than others, but within five months, my Taoist realm has been perfected!"
Chatting and laughing, Feng Bao handed over two finger-long emerald dry tobacco. Li Hong took it and was waiting for the eunuch to light the fire. Suddenly, Emperor Longqing stretched out his right hand in front of him, rubbed his middle finger and thumb, and a burst of flame suddenly appeared from his fingertips.
, luckily it didn’t burn Li Hong’s eyebrows, and he was so frightened that he shrank his head back. He understood instantly, lowered his head quickly, and lit the fire to light the smoke.
The emperor apologized: "I'm sorry, my cultivation level has been rising recently, and I can't control the fire..." He flicked his fingers again, lit up his dry smoke, took a beautiful puff, and said with emotion: "The teacher said, I will be able to do it by the end of the year.
I will go into retreat and hit the realm of Taoist priests, and then I can also learn how to practice the ball."
Li Hong complimented: "Your Majesty's entry into the country in this way is, as far as I know, the fastest and fastest in our country in Goryeo, unparalleled..."
The emperor sighed: "But I have to go into seclusion. You said that I am not ready for this, so I suddenly have to go into seclusion. Alas... practicing is not easy..."
Li Hong was so envious that he stretched his fingers under his waist and subconsciously imitated the emperor to snap his fingers, but he only heard the sound but did not see the fire.
In the midst of admiration, I saw that the emperor had already approached several cabinet bachelors at the pavilion by the pool: "Don't be formal, your Majesty is waiting for me."
Feng Bao handed over a few more emerald dry cigarettes. The Emperor snapped his fingers and lit a few for them. Several bachelors repeatedly expressed "fear", and for a while, the pavilion was filled with smoke.
