Even though the Dao Palace is a transcendent place, the hierarchy still exists. The elite disciples share the first floor, the ordinary disciples live together in one pavilion, and the handymen can only live in caves. The elders of the Dao Palace have independent houses.
As the most distinguished guest, Lin Ze was naturally assigned to live in an independent house based on the treatment given to the Taoist palace elders.
The house is not big, and the courtyard and attic total about three acres of land. It is far less than the mansions in Chang'an City, but it is rare for a Taoist palace that is more than tens of thousands of meters high.
After Xuanming sent Lin Ze to this guest house called "Song Guest Room", he called four Taoist boys to take care of Lin Ze's food and daily life.
Lin Ze, on the other hand, was used to being served by others in Chang'an City, so he accepted the request.
Shao Siming, who was assigned to another house, also moved here at Lin Ze's request.
For Lin Ze, no matter what the attitude of the palace is, now that he and Shao Siming are living here as guests, they are natural allies.
Well, Lin Ze admitted that he was still a little worried that the Taoist Palace would not forget those sixth-grade treasures and specially hired Shao Siming to protect him.
In the final analysis, his martial arts cultivation was still too weak, Lin Zeru thought, and then started practicing with enthusiasm.
…
The atmosphere in Chang'an has become increasingly strange since Xu Fu's almost public escape. Emperor Qin rarely held court meetings, and most important court affairs were handled through memorials.
According to the incomplete statistics of the chamberlain, the number of memorials reviewed by Emperor Qin every day slightly exceeded 500, and they were sent to the Yangxin Palace in baskets one by one.
On that day, after reviewing a basket of memorials, Emperor Qin asked in the air: "Did any of the masters make any unusual movements during this period?"
Da Siming emerged from the sky and paid homage to Emperor Qin: "According to the news from the secret guards, Shangdang Hou Feng Quji is secretly contacting the Goryeo Kingdom, while Longchuan Hou Zhao Tuo is living in seclusion, even with Nanzhao.
The war is also left to a group of lieutenants to take the lead."
"The barbarians in the north are preparing to gather and go south again. Lord Zhongxinhou Meng Ao has already set off for the north. Countries in the Western Region are about to make a move, and Lord Wu Cheng is leading troops to suppress them."
"Prime Minister Li Si plans to launch an official inspection. It is said that Taiwei Wei Liao left the city and went to Huangzhuang. He plans to recruit more recruits to fill the vacancies in the five major mansions."
After hearing this, Emperor Qin had a sneer on his face: "Haha, you all want to escape? Have you asked me, one by one?" Then a ruthless look appeared on his face: "Without my permission, none of you can escape."
After Emperor Qin waved his hand to ask Da Siming to step aside, he called Zhao Gao and said, "Go and call Li Si. I have something to tell you."
Zhao Gao bowed and saluted and was ordered to retreat.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Si hurried to the Yangxin Hall, saluted Emperor Qin and said: "Your Majesty, Li Si, pays homage to your Majesty. I wonder why your Majesty summoned me here?"
Emperor Qin said calmly: "Li Si, do you remember how many years you have been my servant?"
Li Si was stunned for a moment, then replied respectfully: "I have been your Majesty's long history since the second year after your Majesty ascended the throne. It has been four hundred and forty-two years."
Emperor Qin sighed: "They are all ministers who have made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty. I can only repay them with a lifetime of wealth."
Li Si quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, Miao Zan, this meager contribution of this minister is nothing compared with your Majesty's great achievements."
Emperor Qin was silent for a while and said: "It's time for you all to enjoy the glory and wealth of the Qin Dynasty. I want to call all the other princes back to Chang'an. What do you think?"
Li Sixin raised his voice immediately and sighed secretly: It really is not that simple.
Li Si replied sternly: "Your Majesty has good intentions, and I know a little bit about it, but now the four directions are not peaceful, so you rashly summoned all the princes and princes who are in charge of the four directions, which is not good for the safety of the Qin Dynasty."
Emperor Qin said coldly: "Why, without a group of princes and princes to lead the army, my Qin soldiers and generals will not be able to fight?"
Li Si quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The humble minister made a mistake. If you want to transfer them back, you need to arrange for reliable people to guard them."
"If Marquis Wu Cheng returns to Chang'an, who should guard the countries in the Western Regions?"
Emperor Qin said calmly: "Wang Ben, the son of Marquis Wucheng and the commander of the imperial guards, is extremely brave. He is led by his father's elite soldiers. Is it possible that he still suppresses those vassal states that cannot become a state?"
Li Si agreed with his face: "Your Majesty is wise, this arrangement must be reliable."
Emperor Qin said calmly: "Can't the Prime Minister think of ways to properly arrange other places?"
Li Si felt cold sweat break out from behind, and said resolutely: "Your Majesty's words have given me inspiration. As a court captain, Meng Tian, the son of Zhongxinhou, has some shortcomings. It is better to send him north to attack the barbarians. Young people are worse than others." The old man is more energetic, so maybe it can be decided in one battle."
Emperor Qin smiled and nodded: "Good."
Seeing this, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "There are many good generals in the Southern Conquest Army. As far as I know, the deputy general Ren Xiao has excellent strategy and can succeed Longchuan Marquis as the general."
"Can."
Li Si even guessed what Emperor Qin meant, and went on to say: "Yang Duanhe, the son of the late Qin general Yang Xiong, used to fight for the Qin Dynasty. Now he is idle in Chang'an. Your Majesty can let him sit in the northeast and intimidate the Goryeo Kingdom."
That’s enough.”
"What the Prime Minister said is true to every word."
Li Si racked his brains and said: "To Your Majesty, the East China Sea is just a place for treasure hunting. Why does a general sit in command? It is better to divide it into several partial armies and go to sea as scheduled. I will not avoid relatives when I recommend talents. I would like to recommend my son Li Youwei."
A partial general."
Emperor Qin Congshan Ruliu said: "The Prime Minister's arrangement is very good. Let's draw up the decree according to this and let suitable candidates succeed you. Within three months, I will have a banquet with all the great heroes in Xianyang Palace. I also ask the Prime Minister to make proper arrangements.
This matter."
Li Si bowed and replied: "Wei Chen obeys the order, Wei Chen resigned." Then he slowly exited the Yangxin Hall.
In midsummer, the breeze came slowly, and Li Si actually felt a bit cool.
…
In the Dao Palace, Linze's pipe boy asked for a large piece of dried meat, then set up a large pot in the courtyard, put the dried meat and a sixth-grade earth treasure into it, and added other spices and sweet snow water.
The fire simmered for half an hour, and the strong aroma of the meat almost spread for several miles. A large pot of tonic soup was ready.
Lin Ze first ate the animal meat and the sixth-grade earth treasure into his stomach, and then drank the whole pot of tonic soup. A stream of extremely pure vitality emerged from his stomach.
Immediately, Lin Ze tried his best to run the God of War Illustration, turning the vitality into his own true energy, and stored it in his Dantian.
In fact, for the current Lin Ze, taking a sixth-grade earth treasure with a fourth-level martial arts is actually a bit wasteful. Even if he has Xiaojin to assist in the absorption, his body's vitality saturation is far from being able to absorb a whole earth treasure.
Completely digested.
Although doing so was a waste of resources, Lin Ze's martial arts cultivation progressed extremely quickly. To put it bluntly, the speed of condensation of true energy was extremely fast, and the seemingly endless dantian was being destroyed bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
full.
If it were still the same Lin Ze, he might not be willing to waste resources in pursuit of martial arts advancement. However, he recently obtained a large number of treasures from Fusu, another batch from Mengtian, and today he even obtained them from Taoist Palace.
Two hundred sixth-grade earth treasures are quite sufficient in terms of resources.
From Lin Ze's point of view, it would be a real waste if the resources are in hand and not turned into his own strength. Moreover, ever since he practiced knowing destiny, there was always a thought in his mind reminding him to speed up his cultivation progress.
Lin Ze ran the God of War catalog faster and faster, until suddenly there was a warning. Lin Ze slowly opened his eyes, smiled slightly and said: "The peak of the fourth level is done."
