It is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go...
An idea flashed through Li Shimin's mind, but when he came to his senses, he could no longer give it up.
Regardless of whether what this old man said is true or false, since you have heard such words, how can you, as the king of a country, ignore them?
Li Shimin frowned and asked in a low voice: "From what the Taoist Master said, do you already know who the so-called demon star is?"
"Naturally." The old Taoist stroked his long beard and gradually calmed down.
"Who?" Li Shimin asked again.
"Yongxing College Bai Song."
"Bai Song?!" Li Shimin was shocked. Hearing Bai Song's name again, he didn't expect it to be at such a moment.
Li Shimin was already familiar with the name of the Bai Song Dynasty. He was not only someone whom Yu Shinan valued, but he also wrote the famous poem Shui Tiao Ge Tou, which made him famous in Chang'an City.
When he first met Bai Song, Li Shimin felt that this boy was different. He had not met Bai Song much, but for some reason, he still remembered this boy freshly since he met Bai Song.
In addition, I just heard Bai Song's name again from his father yesterday.
This boy not only has outstanding literary talent, but also has amazing medical skills. He is also knowledgeable in some mundane matters. In all his performances, he is superior to other people in the world.
Furthermore, if this person can make the father propose to let the princess remarry, this person's energy is extraordinary.
At first, Li Shimin was a little confused. He didn't know where such a boy got the charm and ability to do so many extraordinary things.
Now I heard an old Taoist say that the so-called demon star came to the world, and it turned out to be the Bai Song Dynasty!
For a moment, Li Shimin felt a coldness on the soles of his feet, and an unprecedented feeling came from his heart.
If I had only one point of trust in what the Taoist said before, after hearing Bai Song's name, my one point suddenly increased to seven points.
For some reason, Li Shimin felt that the name Bai Song was very consistent with what Lao Tao said.
All the incomprehensions and doubts about this kid in the past suddenly became reasonable in an instant.
The reason why he is so different from ordinary people in every aspect is that this kid is the demon star chosen by God!
Sweat dripped from Li Shimin's forehead. He stretched out his hand to wipe it gently. He felt that his palms were moist, and his heart was even more trembling.
"A boy who is no more than twenty years old actually makes me feel a little afraid. This boy has such energy, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep him."
Several people in the palace felt a little worried when they saw Li Shimin's strange expression. The eunuch thought in his mind, saying that he had never seen the emperor like this before. Could it be that the words of this veteran really made the emperor change his mind?
The old Taoist was good at observing words and expressions. When he saw the change in Li Shimin's expression, he knew in his heart that wealth was coming. He endured the joy in his heart and spoke again: "Your Majesty, what the sky has shown must be dealt with as soon as possible. The demon star has been rampant in the capital for a long time. The old Taoist needs guidance from heaven, so he came here.
Telling the emperor is to maintain the stability of the world. I heard that the emperor opened the Tianjian for Li Chunfeng. I thought that the emperor had a lot of connections with Taoism. However, Li Chunfeng was still young and had selfish motives, so it was difficult to preserve the fortune of the Tang Dynasty. He was an old Taoist but not talented, and he had practiced in the Immortal Mountain for decades.
Year, this birth is just to protect the emperor and stabilize the country of Tang Dynasty."
"Taoist Master, are you recommending yourself? Do you want to serve me?"
"Those who practice Taoism should take it as their own responsibility to promote Taoism. It is their lifelong wish to stay with the emperor and spread the teachings."
"I wonder what position you want, sir?"
"I don't need to hold a real position for you, I just need the emperor to pretend to be a 'national advisor'."
"National Preceptor...the preceptor of a country is an empty position. Can the Taoist Priest bear it?"
"I must be able to bear the burden of helping the emperor to break the demon star's troubled times and protect the Tang Dynasty forever."
"Since the Taoist Priest is so confident, I think he is somewhat capable, but I don't know if Chang Jin has ever calculated his own fortune. Is seeing me this time a blessing or a curse for the Taoist Priest?" Li Shimin said with a hint of sneer.
The Taoist priest was slightly confused after hearing this: "What the emperor means..."
"The monster's words are misleading the public! How can I believe you? Come here, get the oil pan and blow up this monster!"
"Wha...what?" The old Taoist was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this. He was fine just now. Why did the emperor suddenly change his face?
The guards on the left and right in front of the palace were also stunned.
Li Shimin said coldly: "What? Do you want me to say it again?"
The guards quickly accepted the order, no longer being polite to the old man, and directly dragged him out of the palace.
The old Taoist struggled desperately, and the golden whisk fell to the ground, but he still screamed heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, spare your life..."
Li Shimin sneered: "If you really have a way, ask yourself how to survive first!"
"Lord Changsun, Lord Changsun, save me!"
The old Taoist knew that he was in danger, so he placed his hope in Changsun Wuji, who had never spoken.
How could Changsun Wuji dare to say that?
He was the one who brought this person here. Now that he has committed the Holy Wrath, he is also responsible. He quickly knelt on the ground, bowed his head and remained silent.
The old Taoist had been dragged away. Li Shimin walked down the steps, looked at the golden fly whisk, stepped on it suddenly, and tore off a piece of gold foil.
"Changsun Wuji, you are still in your prime, yet you are so old and confused. How can such a crooked liar win your trust?!"
Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to answer.
But he knew that the golden whisk was fake, but the old Taoist had some skills, maybe not inferior to Li Chunfeng.
It’s just that there is no point in explaining it now. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the emperor killed this old Taoist to silence him. As for whether he believes Yaoxing’s story or not, it depends on the emperor’s subsequent actions.
…
Outside Chang'an City, the carriage going out was stopped.
Li Chunfeng opened the curtain and looked at the middle-aged man and the little Taoist nun blocking the road, and asked, "Why are you blocking the road?"
The middle-aged man is Yuan Tiangang. Looking at the red-faced and handsome Li Chunfeng in the car, he can't see any Taoist bearing.
Yuan Tiangang frowned slightly, and then asked: "Are you Li Chunfeng?"
"Exactly!"
"I am Yuan Tiangang."
Among the Taoists, Yuan Tiangang has a very high reputation. With just his name, Li Chunfeng knew where he was coming from. He quickly got out of the car and handed over his hands: "It turns out to be Taoist Yuan. I have admired him for a long time."
Although Li Chunfeng was the head of Si Tianjian, he was awarded the fourth rank by the imperial court.
But when the Taoist disciples want to meet, the comparison is based on seniority and seniority.
Yuan Tiangang relied on his age and did not respond. He directly asked: "Where are you going?"
Li Chunfeng frowned slightly: "This is Li's private matter. I'm afraid there is no need to explain it to Taoist Yuan."
"Bai Song is my student, and I am here for him today."
When it comes to Bai Song, the two of them understand each other tacitly.
After Li Chunfeng got off the car, he looked around and found a tea stall on the roadside, and motioned Yuan Tiangang to go sit and chat at the tea stall.
After sitting down at the tea stall, Yuan Tiangang asked directly: "You left the capital to let Bai Song get rid of Karma?"
Li Chunfeng cupped his hands and nodded.
"Then Bai Song has been busy for half a month to save your life. Is it enough for you to simply leave the capital?"
"Taoist Master, this junior has been willing to live and die for Doctor Bai for half a year. Isn't this enough to repay his kindness for half a month?"
"Hmph!" Yuan Tiangang sneered, "Are you really not understanding or are you pretending not to understand? If you are really as powerful as the rumors say, you should know clearly that just leaving the capital is not enough. I figured out what you did last night.
It is the key to resolving the disaster of the Bai Song Dynasty. You must leave something behind before we can let you go!"
After hearing this, Li Chunfeng was greatly surprised. He stood up slowly and bowed his hands to Yuan Tiangang: "Taoist Master Yuan is really powerful. He has reached the ultimate level in the use of Lianshan Technique. He can actually predict that Li has formation knots..."
"Don't stay here, mother-in-law, you and I are both sensible people, there is no need to play riddles. Please tell me how you can resolve this matter when you return to Bai Song Dynasty!"
"Daozhang Yuan, since everyone is sensible, you should also understand why Li didn't say anything. If Li helps Bai Song to resolve this disaster, I'm afraid that the sixteen-word criticism may really come true. Then the world will be in chaos and dynasties will change.
How many people will be displaced? We as Taoists should stabilize the world and promote Taoism, rather than causing chaos in the world."
"Don't pretend to save the world and save people. That's a pretense that only Buddhists can do! We, as cultivators, should follow our true intentions. The general trend of the world has its own arrangements. How can it be your turn to intervene? You are under Bai Song's responsibility to save your life.
Well, you know that you are dead and don't remind others, you know that there is a way to survive, but you pretend not to know. How do you repay people for saving your life?"
Li Chunfeng frowned after hearing this, holding a cup of tea and did not answer.
Yuan Tiangang continued: "As shown by the stars, the difficulties in the Bai Song Dynasty must be caused by those sixteen words of criticism! There are not many Taoist disciples in the world, but there are also not a few people who can detect God's will. I am afraid that the emperor has already known it.
As the head of the Si Tianjian, it is already a capital crime for you to not report the sixteen-word criticism. If Bai Song dies, you will not be able to get away with it! Only by trying to keep Bai Song safe and making the emperor disbelieve that criticism, can you
There is a glimmer of hope."
Li Chunfeng continued to meditate, thinking that Yuan Tiangang was right.
The reason why he had to leave Beijing for half a year was because the matter involved him. Perhaps after half a year, the emperor would lose his temper and stop pursuing it.
But Li Chunfeng himself doesn't know whether half a year is enough, and he doesn't really know.
"What? Could it be that Li Daozhang is someone who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world? Then Yuan must really admire him."
Li Chunfeng was restricted by Yuan Tiangang in every way, and felt dissatisfied. He said in a low voice: "I left Beijing this time to refine the elixir of immortality for the emperor. When the elixir is refined, I will save my life."
"Hahaha... It's ridiculous. Li Chunfeng, you are a genius who has not been seen for thousands of years in the Taoist sect. You actually believe in the lies about immortality? There is no immortality in the world. It is just a dream spun by the Taoists who seek glory and wealth! Emperors of the ages,
Pursuing everything, you are just using this matter to seek wealth!"
Li Chunfeng shook his head: "If the current saint only seeks immortality for himself, Li will definitely not serve him. There is a hidden secret in immortality..."
"Not for yourself? Humph, who can believe it?"
Li Chunfeng clinked cups of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then continued to answer: "The Taoist Master is unaware that Empress Wende is suffering from a stubborn disease, which is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. The emperor loves his wife very much, and I would like to ask if Li can
Is there an elixir that can cure it? Li looked at the Taoist books in the world and found that only the medicine of immortality can cure him. Therefore, the emperor tried his best to find the ingredients for the elixir of immortality for Li. Li felt deeply for her and was willing to try it for Queen Wende.
Regardless of success or failure, you should try your best.”
"..." After hearing this, Yuan Tiangang looked stunned. Apparently he had never thought of such a thing!
"This is a secret in the palace. Please tell the chief not to spread it outside." Li Chunfeng said, and suddenly sighed heavily, "Hey, since the matter has come to this, let Li tell the chief what is in his heart. Then the accumulated information
The disease is incurable, but Dr. Bai's medical skills are extraordinary, unlike other doctors in the world. If he can enter the palace to treat Queen Wende, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, as long as Queen Wende gets better, the emperor will definitely become the emperor.
I am grateful for his kindness. At that time, another Taoist priest will prove to Bai Song that Bai Song is not a demon star, but a lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, so that it can be reversed."
"The secret in your heart is Queen Wende's accumulation of disease?"
"Exactly."
The so-called accumulation disease is what ancient people called "cancer".
As ancient medicine has shown, it is impossible to identify the cause of cancer, but there is obvious accumulation of flesh in the early stages, so it is collectively called accumulation disease.
Cancer is difficult to conquer in modern times, but it was considered incurable in ancient times.
Yuan Tiangang also knows medical skills, so he should know the difficulty of this accumulated disease. Even if he knows this and asks Bai Song to treat the queen, can it be cured?
Yuan Tiangang was worried and felt that this was not a complete solution.
Li Chunfeng had already stood up, raised his hands and said: "Master Yuan, that's it. Whether Bai Song can escape this disaster depends on his luck. Maybe it can also be regarded as the luck of the emperor and the queen. Li said goodbye and had no choice but to stay in the capital.
It only brings disaster."
Yuan Tiangang did not stay any longer. When Li Chunfeng left, he was alone with his tea cup in his hands and meditating.
Lingzhu stepped forward and asked: "Master, even if Mr. Bai can cure the queen, the emperor already has a grudge against him in his heart. How can he safely let him go to see the queen?"
This is exactly what Yuan Tiangang thinks. He can calculate and deduce, but he is not just planning and deploying.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Tiangang said: "Tomorrow we will go to the village again and tell Bai Song everything. Bai Song is good at calculations. It is about his own life. He should come up with a complete solution."
…
the next day.
Two major events happened in the capital.
One is the Qingyuan Poetry Club.
The second is that Princess Runan is getting married.
Early in the morning, the college arranged a carriage to pick up the students back to the city to attend the poetry meeting.
After two days of farming, life in the small village has already worn away everyone’s enthusiasm.
Compared to working hard in the fields all day, going to the poetry festival is simply a great honor.
Everyone was sick, the convoy was no longer as lively as when it came out, and no one spoke during the journey.
Bai Song had already made a decision and wanted to take Shu Wang to Yizhou to visit after the poetry meeting.
Firstly, it is to avoid some dangers, secondly, it can meet Li Jing early to propose marriage, and thirdly, it can be regarded as taking my wife on a sightseeing tour.
Bai Song didn't know that not long after his group left the village, Yuan Tiangang and Lingzhu arrived at Qinghe Village.
After asking, I learned that everyone in the college had already taken a car to the city.
Lingzhu was a little anxious: "Master, why is it so unlucky?"
Yuan Tiangang looked up to the sky and sighed: "There is God's will in the dark. The so-called doing one's best and obeying God's destiny should be like this, right? You and I will follow him to Beijing and go to the Poetry Society to find him. I hope there won't be any more accidents along the way."
…
Today's big wedding, Li Xiangnan is in a panic.
After returning from Xingqing Palace, I had been confined for three days. I said I was preparing for the wedding, but I didn't expect that the wedding would be so soon.
The wedding was so hasty that Li Xiangnan felt something was wrong.
I asked the maids and eunuchs around me carefully, but I couldn't get any news.
[The author has something to say]
There is a 4,000-word chapter. I will try my best to write more in the July update. I have indeed written very little this month. Sorry!
