If I had known earlier, I would have gone out to see it openly, but in this way, I would have embarrassed myself.
He calmed down and walked slowly outside the official office.
Zhang Wen frowned slightly when he saw a young Taoist priest coming out of Taishi Ling's office.
He glanced at Yu Xian and stopped looking. He turned to Taishi Lingwang and asked, "Who is he? Why is he in your official office?"
Wang Li turned back and glanced at Yu Xian, and hurriedly explained in a low voice, "General Zhang, this is the new Imperial Master Yu Daoist. He must have come here for the purpose of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Zhang Wen sneered after hearing this, "National Preceptor? Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has never been any national preceptor. At that time, Zhang Liang was so great, but he still lived in the mountains and plains. Dong Zhongshu dismissed hundreds of schools and only respected Confucianism, which was only in Jiaoxi.
The King's Prime Minister. How virtuous and capable is that little Taoist priest? He dares to be called the Prime Minister."
Wang Li didn't dare to accept this.
In addition, Yu Xian was nearby, so Wang Li was afraid of arousing the Taoist's anger.
He could only persuade him in a good voice, "General Zhang, be careful, this was appointed by Dong Xiangguo himself."
Zhang Wen became even more disgusted after hearing this.
He patted Mo Qilin and walked away directly.
Wang Li was embarrassed, and Yu Xian also felt a little bored.
He came out to meet Zhang Wen, but he didn't expect Zhang Wen to be so arrogant.
Wang Lisheng was afraid that Yu Xian would be embarrassed, so he could only soften his words and said, "General Zhang is not usually like this. Maybe something went wrong today."
There was no emotion on Yu Xian's face, and he just said lightly, "It doesn't matter."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the official office.
Wang Li saw that Yu Xian also wanted to leave in anger, so he could only secretly cry out that it was bad luck.
He couldn't afford to offend either of these two people. Now that the two of them were causing trouble in their own land, he just hoped that they would not take their anger out on him.
Yu Xian returned to the official office and asked Wang Li straight to the point.
"Yesterday I heard that Tai Shi Ling was proficient in astrology and had a "Lingxian Book" and a "Lingxian Map" in his hands. Is this possible?"
Wang Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he had to ask cautiously.
"The "Lingxian Book" and the "Lingxian Diagram" are both secret methods that drive the armillary sphere. This is a secret in the palace. How did the Imperial Master know about it?"
Yu Xian was very frank, "Li Su told me."
Wang Li secretly said that this Li Su was an important general of Xiliang soldiers. Now that most of the palace has been taken over by Xiliang soldiers, it would not be surprising to know this.
Wang Li had no choice but to say in embarrassment, "Master, it's okay if it's something else. But the Armillary Sphere is the center of the ban in the palace. Once something goes wrong, it will be very harmful. Although I am willing to help the Master, these two things are not
Cannot be borrowed."
After hearing this, Yu Xian pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Are you just perfunctory with me? I heard that when Yuan Shu broke into the palace that day, most of the restrictions in the palace were destroyed. Now the armillary sphere is just a decoration, right?"
"
Wang Li shook his head repeatedly, "That's not the case. Although some of the array patterns were damaged that day, they were all repaired. Even if there are still some areas that are not running smoothly, the humble position is re-deduced every day to change the position of the restricted flaws. There are also
If the guard personally guards the place, there shouldn't be anything wrong."
Yu Xian suddenly realized why Zhang Wen came here.
It turns out that after the formation restrictions in the palace were repaired, there were still quite a few loopholes.
In order to avoid being discovered, Wang Li had to adjust it every day, changing the position of the restriction flaw from time to time, and asked Guard Zhang Wen to deliberately guard that position.
When Yu Xian thought of this, his heart moved.
In this way, wouldn't the place where Zhang Wen is located be the corner with the weakest restrictions in the palace?
Even if Zhang Wen is here and it is difficult to break through, as long as Zhang Wen is lured away, it is still a good way to survive.
When Yu Xian saw Wang Li pushing back and forth like this, he knew that the matter could not be accomplished, so he had to sigh deeply.
"Among the methods learned by Pindao, there are secret techniques of communicating with one's mind and body on a whim. If one can refer to Taishi Ling's stargazing technique, there may be some benefits. But I don't want to have this blessing."
After Wang Li heard this, he hesitated again and again.
The art of stargazing is a secret skill of the palace and cannot be spread to other people. I am afraid that this person will be offended this time.
Wang Li was worried, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he whispered to Yu Xian, "If the Imperial Master is really interested in this way, there is nothing that can be done."
"Oh?" Yu Xian was a little surprised.
His threat to learn stargazing was nothing more than an excuse to cover up his original purpose, but he didn't expect that he would actually gain something.
Wang Li lowered his voice and said, "Cai Yong has a daughter who is born with wisdom. She has always been interested in astronomy and stars, and she has discovered many methods on her own. Although it is not the right way, it is quite impressive. If the national master wants to learn, you can go
Let’s ask Cai Zhonglang.”
Yu Xian's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Isn’t Cai Yong’s daughter Cai Wenji? This girl is also in Luoyang now?
Seeing Yu Xian's move, Wang Li added, "Li Su, the general of the Tiger Guard, has promising skills and may be able to help the Imperial Master."
Yu Xian looked at Li Su who was pretending to be confused at the front steps of the hall, but he didn't have much hope.
Yu Xian's original plan was to get the "Lingxian Book" and "Lingxian Diagram" so that when Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and retreated to Chang'an, he could take advantage of the chaos to take away the Armillary Sphere.
At that time, Sun Jian happened to be attacking. It was so chaotic that no one might pay attention.
Yu Xian could take this treasure as his own without knowing it.
However, Wang Li was obviously more vigilant than Yu Xian thought, so Yu Xian could only focus on the imperial seal first.
He calmed down and asked, "By the way, I have lived in the mountains for a long time and don't know any etiquette. I wonder if Tai Shiling knows something about the process of offering sacrifices to heaven."
Wang Li felt relieved after hearing this question. He smiled and said, "What a coincidence. This time the sacrifice to heaven happened to be hosted by the official. When I confirm the auspicious day, we will take a bath in advance and fast, and go to the altar on the outskirts of the city. Arrive.
On that day, the minister will first read out the astronomical table, and then the imperial master will go to the altar to worship. Given the great trust that the prime minister has in the imperial master, it is expected that many civil and military officials will come to watch the ceremony."
Yu Xian frowned slightly. If he took out the imperial seal on that day and made too much noise, he might not be able to hide it from everyone. This is also a big problem.
Once someone discovers any clues, I'm afraid that I will be unable to eat and walk away.
Yu Xian chatted with Wang Li for a few more words, and then left the imperial city with Li Su with full harvest.
Yu Xian looked at the sky and saw that the sun was already heading west.
He whispered to Li Su, "Let's go to the north gate and have a look."
"North Gate?" Li Su was surprised.
He quickly stopped him and said, "Beigong is not something we can enter without permission."
Yu Xian comforted him, "Don't worry, I just went to the North Palace Gate to have a look, and I have no intention of entering the palace."
Li Su didn't persuade him any more.
The two of them got on the carriage and walked around the imperial city. It took a lot of time to arrive near the north gate.
It's also a coincidence.
Yu Xian had just raised the curtains and looked out, when he saw a magnificently decorated carriage parked at the gate of the palace. The guarding soldiers opened the curtains and took a look, then let them go respectfully.
Yu Xian looked at Li Su and said calmly, "If you can enter the palace by car, the Princess Yangping must be in the car."
