Anyone who can become the prince and secure this position will certainly not be a fool. Otherwise, even if the emperor likes him and the ministers support him, he will not really elect an incompetent person to be the emperor.
Of course the prince can understand what his father means, but understanding does not mean that he agrees. What kind of person is his teacher, what kind of person is his friend Yin Zhong, including what kind of person is his brother-in-law Yin Qing. The prince asks himself what kind of person he is. Very clear. He could understand the importance of the Imperial Art and the need for a balance between factions in the government and the opposition, but he still felt uncomfortable.
The emperor looked at his son without speaking for a long time. Of course, the latter did not dare to talk back. The two just looked at each other speechlessly. After the silence, Yang Hao suddenly said leisurely with emotion.
“The Yin family is indeed loyal and has strict family training. It can even be assumed that the young Yin Chi and Yin Dian and even Hu’er’s children will still be loyal, because Yin Qing and Hu’er are here, but one day they will What if he is no longer here? Yin Qing can be loyal to the third generation, and can be loyal to the fourth generation, but what about after the fifth and sixth generations?”
The prince looked at his father and waited for him to finish speaking.
“What about the Xiao family? The Yushitai oversees all officials in the world. Although the Yushitai is not as prestigious as the teacher, it is still very powerful. They are much dirtier than the Yin family!”
The prince stopped talking about this, but the implication is obvious. Since the Xiao family can always be trusted, why can’t the Yin family, who are loyal to the country, also? The commotion has reached this point, but it has not spread yet. If it spread, wouldn’t the loyal people in the world be disappointed? Of course, his father did not do anything to persecute the Yin family, but not supporting him was a signal.
Yang Hao snorted coldly when he heard this. How could he not know the situation of the Xiao family? But the Xiao family is a dog of the Yang family. As long as the person in power is not really an extremely imbecile, he can manipulate the Xiao family at will if he has the leverage. But the Yin family It’s different, because the Yin family is too “upright”.
The prince’s words were considered a contradiction, and the emperor was slightly angry, which showed on his face with a cold look in his eyes.
“Then if you wait for Gu to abdicate and sit on Dazhen’s throne, should you support your teacher in liquidating the members of the Xiao family and all the stubborn people in the court?”
The prince was also angry, and almost said “yes” to his father, but fortunately he was still calm in his heart, and at the same time a little depressed, he lowered his head and shook his head slightly.
“No…”
“Huh?”
The emperor narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt that he could not see through his son. Then he saw the prince raising his head and sighed.
“Father, teacher’s body, I can’t wait any longer…”
As soon as the prince said these words, Emperor Hongwu also trembled in his heart. He couldn’t help but exert a little force on his hand holding a book on the table. After a long time, he let out a long sigh.
“I’m getting old…I don’t want to live forever, and I don’t expect to find a god. All I care about is my Yang family and the world of Dazhen!”
With that said, Yang Hao stood up from his seat, walked around the table to the prince, patted him on the shoulder, and then slowly left outside. Although he had just taught his son a lesson, he had to say that he Why don’t you like this son because of his personality? The emperor’s family is the most ruthless, but the emperor’s family is also thirsty for love.
Yang Hao walked to the door and looked at the gloomy sky with continuous rain in spring.
‘Teacher…’
After sighing in his heart, he left the East Palace.
An old **** carefully wiped his sweaty face. After the prince saluted, he followed the emperor and left.
It wasn’t until his father had left for a long time that the prince let out a sigh of relief. His back was feeling hot just now.
……
Yang Hao walked out of the East Palace, looked back, then got into the car and said to the old **** beside him.
“Go to Si Tianjian.”
After the old **** bowed and said “yes”, he raised his spirits and declared his order.
“The Holy One has decreed that the driver should be the Heavenly Supervisor!”
The avant-garde opened the road and set off. The emperor’s chariot left the palace all the way. After traveling in the imperial city for more than a quarter of an hour, it arrived outside Sitian Prison in the north. Before the emperor got out of the car, the old **** had already announced in a loud voice. Drink.
“The Emperor has arrived~~~”
A moment later, the grey-haired Jian Zhengyanchang and his subordinates came out to greet him and saluted the emperor’s frame.
“I respectfully welcome Your Majesty!”
Yang Hao walked out of the car, said “no courtesy”, and then walked inside surrounded by Si Tianjian officials and entered the Ziwei Hall.
Unlike his father, Yang Hao has come to Si Tianjian very rarely, and this place is relatively new to him. Most of the places where officials from other ministries are located are tables and papers, and a lot of officials are correcting and discussing, while Ziwei Hall is Otherwise, the overall tone is darker, but not that dark. In addition to some necessary desk tables, there are many star charts and even some star models, made of copper and placed in the center.
Yang Hao walked towards a large model in the middle. It seemed to be as high as two stories. It was wrapped in many ring-shaped copper bars and looked extremely complicated. There were many small copper **** representing the stars on it. The seven copper **** were the most conspicuous, and the inscriptions on them should be the Big Dipper. Yang Hao saw a handle on the copper ring near the bottom, which seemed to be pushed by someone, so he looked to the side and Yan Chang followed suit.
“What is this, can it be pushed?”
Yan Chang answered respectfully.
“Back to your majesty, I call it the star instrument. Your majesty can try to turn it. You can see the changes in the stars without much effort.”
Yang Hao nodded and gently pushed the copper ring handle. The next moment, the entire model began to rotate, the stars everywhere began to change, and the top seven stars were also rotating.
Words always point upward.
“Your Majesty, please look at it. Above it are the Big Dipper stars. Among them, the purple star has the smallest change. It is the master of the stars and symbolizes the imperial power in the world.”
If there was someone who knew a little bit about astronomy in the world of Jiyuan’s previous life, he would definitely sneer at the common statement, because Ziwei Star is the North Star and should be fixed, not as shown on this instrument. Although the changes are small, they are not static, but now Ji Yuan knows that what he often says is right.
The emperor looked at it for a while and then said to Yan Chang.
“What about Master Du Tianshi who has returned to Beijing? Tell him to come and see him.”
“Yes, Wei Chen will send someone to find him now!”
Yan Chang quickly ordered people to leave, and then asked the emperor to sit down where he was handling affairs.
Unlike the Daxiu Dynasty, which only respected the Celestial Master, the so-called Celestial Masters of Dazhen were actually all under the name of Si Tianjian. They were considered a small department under the Si Tianjian. The title of Celestial Master sounded big. In fact, the official position was very small, almost from the sixth rank, and had no real power. The summary of the official position was that in addition to obeying the emperor’s words, he mainly assisted Si Tianjian in his affairs.
Not long after, Du Changsheng hurriedly followed a Sitianjian junior official who came to summon him to the Ziwei Hall. Although he felt that he was now somewhat righteous, he did not dare to show off in front of the emperor. I know that Emperor Yang is a great person, but I am a murderous man who dares to order the beheading of even a true immortal.
As soon as Du Changsheng entered the Ziwei Hall, his eyes locked on the emperor sitting on the main seat in the center, and he quickly bowed and saluted.
“Weijun Du Changsheng, pay homage to Your Majesty!”
Yang Hao looked at this old man who was wearing loose robes and looked like an immortal. He actually had some impression of this man. He remembered that he had seen him when he had just ascended the throne. He thought he should have died long ago, but he didn’t expect to come back now. Beijing.
“Master Du Tian, excuse me. I heard that you have achieved success in practice?”
“Uh, I don’t dare, I don’t dare to claim that my practice is successful.”
The Heavenly Master was an old man at the beginning, but now that Yang Hao is old, he still has the youthful appearance, and Yang Hao is more interested.
“I heard that your master is an immortal from this world. Is it possible that you have gone to practice with your master these years since you left the capital?”
Du Changsheng quickly saluted and bowed his head again.
“Your Majesty, these words are all rumors from the outside world, and Wei Chen dare not admit them. In fact, Wei Chen’s original words were that the method practiced by Wei Chen was obtained by a real immortal who thought he was a master of Taoism in his early years, but he passed this method on to me. It’s just because of fate, it’s not about accepting me as a disciple.”
“Oh, so that’s it.”
This Du Changsheng speaks in an orderly manner and is so humble. He is somewhat different from the Celestial Masters in Yang Hao’s impression who only know how to brag and gain benefits. It seems that he was indeed a bit general at the time, and he was not the so-called Celestial Master. Everyone is good for nothing.
“Master Du Tian, let me ask you, do you have some real ability?”
Du Changsheng took a deep breath, raised his head and said.
“I don’t dare to deceive the emperor by making false claims. Although I cannot be called a cultivator, I am still a cultivator of immortality, so I naturally have some abilities.”
“Show me your hands.”
If anyone else had spoken to Du Changsheng with this kind of trick-or-treating attitude, he would have ignored it, but the emperor had no choice but to say so. He didn’t say much. He waved his hand while waving his sleeves, and a mist surrounded him. The side appeared and gradually transformed into an identical Du Changsheng.
The two heavenly masters saluted the emperor together and spoke in unison.
“Your Majesty, let’s see Wei Chen’s demonstration!”
While talking, the two Du Changsheng cast spells together, and a mist reappeared in the middle. The two people walked left and right, and the mist became wider and wider, gradually spreading to the entire Ziwei Palace.
The hall gradually darkened, and the mist seemed to turn into a roiling sea, with the sound of wind and tidal waves rising, and then turned into real sea water.
“Wow, wow…”
The waves beat and the water rolled, and the surrounding area darkened. On the sea surface, stars appeared little by little. Then the moon rose and the moon set in the sky and turned into dawn. The light returned to the Ziwei Palace, and the fog gradually faded.
The two Du Changsheng saluted Yang Hao again.
“Your Majesty, the demonstration is over.”
After getting up, the two heavenly masters walked toward each other, and finally merged into one person. Only the mist around them remained, but it added to the immortal essence.
After Yang Hao was stunned for a while, he stood up from his seat and became slightly excited.
“The Heavenly Master is so capable! Is this the method of an immortal?”
Several emperors of the Yang family have searched for immortals and left some special records, but none of them were as shocking as what Yang Hao saw today, which far exceeded his expectations.
Du Changsheng did not dare to brag too much, and said respectfully with a certain amount of pride and a certain amount of restraint.
“Wei Chen was just an illusion transformed by Yu Shui, and cannot be called an immortal’s method.”
Yang Hao laughed, nodded and looked at the heavenly master, okay, does the heavenly master know the art of divination and healing people?
Du Changsheng was very afraid that the emperor would ask him to get the elixir of life or find a real immortal, so he said very cautiously.
“Weak ministers are of a lowly nature, they are only slightly involved, but their level is superficial and it is difficult to reach the level of elegance!”
“Yeah!”
Yang Hao was very satisfied with Du Changsheng’s performance. After looking at Yan Chang who was stroking his beard and thinking, he continued to talk to Tianshi.
“If the Heavenly Master hadn’t figured it out, could there be a way to cure Yin Aiqing’s body? Dazhen cannot do without him!”
Du Changsheng was slightly startled, and looked at the emperor and the frowning Yan Chang beside him. He saw the latter’s serious face. Although he didn’t understand political affairs, he knew not to talk nonsense, but what Du Changsheng was thinking was that he was afraid that he would not be able to cure himself. Good to be blamed.
“Back to Your Majesty, I have heard that Xiangguo Yin was born as a star of Wenqu in the early years. This may be a rumor, but one thing I still know is clear. Xiangyin has a great and righteous energy, and there is no dark light in the sky. Throughout the ages, there are people with this aura. It is extremely rare, and it is the sign of a virtuous minister through the ages. Such a virtuous minister should be free from all diseases and be protected by ghosts and gods, but if the fire is weak… I am afraid, it may be God’s will…”
“God’s will…”
Yang Hao was a little absent-minded. After muttering, he slowly came back to his senses and looked at Du Changsheng seriously.
“The words of the Heavenly Master seem to have a profound meaning?”
Deep meaning? What the **** do I mean? I just can’t talk anymore…
“Your Majesty is overly worried, the minister has no deep meaning…”
With a panic in his heart, Du Changsheng was not as calm as before when he spoke. Although there was no chaos, there was obviously a sense of erraticity. How could Yang Hao, who had been the emperor for decades, not feel this? Looking for a book Yuan www.zhaoshuyuan． com frowned, sensing that this Heavenly Master was afraid of saying something.
“Master Du Tian, if you don’t want to hide your words, just speak out if you have any profound understanding! I’ll let you speak!”
In-depth understanding? What the **** do I know?
Du Changsheng had sweat on his forehead, and he thought hard about the wise ideas in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
“Uh…Your Majesty, actually I don’t have any deep meaning, but if you must say a few words…”
When Du Changsheng said this, he raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then lowered his head slightly.
“It is not an exaggeration to say that a wise minister like Yin Xiang will never meet again in a thousand years. It is a sign of good fortune in a prosperous age. However, mortal life is limited after all, including birth, old age, illness and death, and Prime Minister Yin is no exception…”
Hearing such timid words, Yang Hao was furious. The Heavenly Master clearly didn’t say what was in his heart.
“I want you to tell me what’s in your heart, instead of making excuses like this, tell me——!”
When the emperor was angry, the pressure on Du Changsheng was overwhelming. The so-called danger of accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. At this moment, he truly understood the danger, and he was also very frightened.
Du Changsheng lowered his head and looked sad, almost wanting to cry. This emperor, don’t listen to good things, why should you say bad things…
I would have known where I would go back to! Thinking of Yang’s ferocity, Du Changsheng could only feel relieved and said bravely.
“Back, back to your majesty, as Wei Chen said just now, Prime Minister Yin’s order may be God’s will. The virtuous ministers of the ages have come to the world to bring the prosperous scene to God’s will. This may also be a warning. We monks have The sentence is called: The devil rises and the Tao disappears…Wei Chen, Wei Chen can only say so much…”
Du Changsheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat slightly, while Yang Hao looked at him blankly.
“The magic rises and the road disappears…the magic rises and the road disappears…”
