Chen Lun was so frightened that he crawled to the ground and ran away. Chang Gun sat blankly in his seat, quickly assessing the impact of this incident on himself.
The prince gave the impeachment report to himself instead of returning it to the Yushitai, obviously implying that he concocted the incident to frame and slander the minister.
Chang Gun felt regretful in his heart. Only then did he realize that he had gone too far for the sake of the Zhang family, and he might have shot himself in the foot this time.
Chen Lun also hid the truth and concocted a false impeachment report just to please himself.
What should we do now? What the prince said about dealing with justice clearly meant something.
Chang Gun sighed. In order to protect himself, he could only let Chen Lunlai be the scapegoat, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the prince.
Chang Gun suddenly hated the Zhang family very much. He had to pay such a heavy price for their family's trivial things.
Chang Gun took out an appointment letter from the drawer. This was the official document appointing Zhang Wenlong as the magistrate of Lingwu County, pending his final approval.
He picked up a pen and wrote on it, 'This person's moral character is inconsistent and he is not suitable to be an official!'
If you let a bastard like Zhang Wenlong go to Lingwu County, he will kill himself sooner or later. It is better to let him go home and farm.
Chang Gun immediately sent people to find Cui Huan, the censor Zhongcheng.
Not long after, Cui Huan hurried to Chang Gun's official room, bowed and saluted, "See the Prime Minister!"
Chang Gun handed him the impeachment memorial written by Chen Lun, "I feel that there are many falsehoods in this impeachment memorial. You should investigate carefully. If it is true that Chen Lun used his power to deliberately frame the minister, the Yushitai must punish him severely!"
Cui Huan was stunned for a moment. Isn't Chen Lun Chang Gun's confidant? Why did Chang Gun think of dealing with him, or was he just pretending?
He thought for a while and said: "I will investigate first. After finding out the situation, I will report it to the Prime Minister in a timely manner."
The best way to deal with it is to find out the matter first, but it is still up to Chang Gun to decide how to deal with it in the end.
"Okay, please investigate thoroughly for me and report to me within three days!"
Since Chang Gun decided to give up his car to save the commander-in-chief, he simply acted harshly and gave the prince an explanation.
There is a very exquisite teahouse in Xuanyangfang called 'Feng Wu'. This teahouse is very famous in Chang'an. The reason why it is so famous is that it only accepts female customers. The teahouse includes the shopkeeper, waiters, etc.
They are all held by women, and the ladies of Chang'an like to come here to gather, chat, drink tea or eat snacks.
This teahouse was opened last year, and the proprietor behind it is Li Wenyu. Of course, the proprietor is not only Li Wenyu, but also 30% of the people are Li An. Li An is the chief executive of Huangshang. He is just an investment agent. The real
People who invest money will not be recorded by the government.
In fact, Li Wenyu knew that the other investor was the Crown Princess Wang. She was very interested in this women's teahouse, so she took out a precious gem and converted it into three thousand guan as her investment.
Mrs. Wang loves gems very much. She is a regular guest of Jubao Pavilion. Li Wenyu personally delivers gems to the East Palace every time. The two have always had a good relationship. When Li Wenyu said that she wanted to open a women's teahouse, Mrs. Wang also had a great idea.
interest.
At this time, in an elegant room on the second floor of Fengwu Tea House, Li Wenyu and Xue Tao were sitting opposite each other. This was the third time they drank tea and chatted here. Xue Tao also liked it very much. It was very close to her home, only fifty years away.
Step, there is another women's teahouse. She often comes here to read alone. Li Wenyu gave her a jade sign, and she can come to the store for free.
Xue Tao didn't want to take advantage of this, but she liked the atmosphere and fragrant tea in the store, so she had to wait until later to return the favor.
"Ms. Xue, it seems you haven't been here for a while. Is there anything going on at home?" Li Wenyu asked with concern.
Xue Tao nodded, "My uncle is getting married. My mother and I went to Luoyang and came back the day before yesterday."
Li Wenyu was startled, "You actually went to Luoyang?"
Xue Tao said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I only went there for half a month and only stayed in Luoyang for three days. Most of the time I was on the road. I really should tell Sister Wen Yu."
"It doesn't matter. I've been too busy all day long. So tomorrow I want to relax and take a boat trip to Qujiang. Do you have time to go with me?"
Xue Tao hesitated and asked: "Brother Zhang, are you going too?"
"Don't worry about him, I'm just asking you if you want to go?"
Xue Tao thought for a while and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I didn't go for an outing this spring, so I'll make up for it tomorrow."
Li Wenyu was overjoyed, "I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning."
In the Qingxu Palace, Guo Song knelt down in front of the physical statue of his master Mu Zhenren, clasped his hands and recited silently: "The master's spirit may be at peace in heaven. The disciple has carried out the master's legacy and served the country. In the blink of an eye, several years have passed. He fought bloody battles with the Hulu and won the victory."
The borderland is peaceful. I hope that Master’s spirit in heaven can continue to protect the disciples and do their best for the Tang Dynasty.”
At this time, the sound of footsteps came downstairs, and the head of Jinshen Pavilion, Wu Ning, Alchemist Wu Ning, said: "Li Jishi is here!"
Alchemist Wu Ning is the eldest disciple of Brother Guo Song, Gan Feng. He is in his early thirties, has good martial arts skills, and is in charge of the Golden Shen Pavilion.
Then someone asked: "I heard that your junior uncle is back, is he there?"
"Li Qishi is so impatient, my junior uncle is inside."
Guo Song was startled, who is this Governor Li?
He got up and went downstairs, only to see a tall and thin middle-aged man standing at the door. He was about fifty years old, with a clear face and a pair of particularly bright eyes.
When he saw Guo Song, he quickly saluted and said, "Excuse me, are you Guo Shijun?"
"I am, may I ask who you are?"
"I am Li Mi, the governor of Hangzhou. I have heard of Guo Shijun for a long time."
Guo Song was shocked. It turned out that this middle-aged man was Li Mi, the famous commoner prime minister in history. He was the one who had long admired the name.
"It turns out it's Governor Li. I've heard about his name for a long time. Does Governor Li have something to do with me?"
Li Mi clasped his hands and said, "Can we talk about it?"
Guo Song nodded, "Please come to the second floor and have a seat!"
Guo Song invited him to sit down in the outer hall on the second floor, and asked Wu Ning to serve tea. Li Bi leaned over and smiled and said: "I used to be a frequent visitor here. Last year, I was sent out as an official. I just returned to Beijing to report on my work two days ago.
I was looking forward to meeting Mr. Guo, but I didn’t expect to see him today. I’m so happy!”
Guo Song smiled slightly and said, "Why is Governor Li so looking forward to seeing me?"
Li Mi pondered for a while and said: "I want to know about the situation of Lingji Cave in Kongtong Mountain. I went to Kongtong Mountain three years ago. Unfortunately, Lingji Cave was destroyed, but someone told me that you were the only one who knew about it, so I met the envoy
It has always been my long-cherished wish.”
Guo Song was stunned. He thought Li Mi wanted to talk to him about world affairs, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to ask about Lingji Cave. This really surprised him. Lingji Cave seemed to him like it happened in his previous life.
.
After a long while, Guo Song asked: "Who told Li Governor that I was related to Lingji Cave?"
"Zhang Chunming, the master of Jingle Palace, Guo Shijun should be familiar with him!"
Guo Song chuckled, "It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhang, no wonder."
He asked Li Mi again, "What does Li Cishi want to know about Lingji Cave?"
Li Mi was silent for a moment, then spoke two words from his lips, "Immortal way!"
It's a bit funny to Guo Song that Li Mi, who is famous for his self-cultivation and governance of the country and the world, actually worships the way of gods so much.
But it's not surprising. As a Taoist believer, he has a strong interest in the weirdness of gods and immortals. He often holds Huang Lao's theory of ghosts and gods, and often regards himself as an outsider. He should be unfazed by honor and disgrace, and be aloof from the world.
above.
He was not only a follower of Taoism, but he was also proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Mencius. Qi Zhiping's theory of Confucianism and Buddhism, Taoism and spiritual cultivation were cleverly integrated and complemented each other, which enabled him to become an official and govern the country when he advanced, and to forget the secular world when he retreated.
Seek immortality and seek enlightenment.
In the end, he achieved the historical reputation of the commoner prime minister.
Now that Li Mi was suppressed by Chang Gun and forced to become a local official, it was not surprising that he had a strong interest in immortality when he was hiding from the world.
Guo Song thought for a while and said: "Lingji Cave does exist. I lived in it for a full year and dug niches for my master. I know the situation inside very well. I think what Li Governor is interested in is not Lingji."
The cave is the twenty-one incorruptible persons who have emerged in it since the Wei and Jin Dynasties."
Li Mi let out a long sigh, "Twenty-one people whose bodies are incorruptible, how come Lingji Cave is not a cave of immortal spirits? It's a pity that it was still destroyed."
He asked again: "Since Li Shijun has lived in Lingji Cave for a year, have you discovered the special features of Lingji Cave?"
Guo Song smiled and nodded, "Lingji Cave is indeed a bit strange. Below it is a pool, which should be a place of dampness and rot. But on the contrary, the top is very dry and has poor air circulation, which is conducive to the preservation of the body.
Over time, it gradually turned into a dry and hard state."
Li Mi's face showed a look of disappointment, "What does Guo Shijun mean to say is that those whose bodies do not rot are not immortals?"
Guo Song shook his head and said: "You can't say that. After all, there are more Taoist priests turned into bones. What I mean is that Lingji Cave itself is not the reason for attaining the Dao. Whether he can attain the Dao depends on whether he can see the Dao in his heart.
, whether we can understand the true meaning of the unity of heaven and man, and whether we can truly understand what eternal life is, instead of being obsessed with things outside the body like a cave."
Li Mi looked thoughtful and asked quickly: "What does Commander Guo think of eternal life?"
Guo Song smiled lightly and said, "To put a strong and brilliant mark on history, let history remember his name forever, and let future generations look up to him and respect him. I think this is eternal life."
Li Mi was stunned for a long time, and was no longer interested in discussing immortality with Guo Song. The two of them were simply wrong. A bitter smile appeared on Li Mi's lips. He stood up and saluted, "I will discuss the eternal life with you again when I have the opportunity."
