"You still have a lot of clever ideas. Can you attract so many Taoists with just one name?" Li Shimin smiled at first, and then started to think seriously.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Taoists are very persistent about ranking. Taoism is different from Buddhism. Taoists are very competitive. A false name is enough. Look at Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang. They both say they don't value fame and fortune.
, but in the end, isn't it because of the position of the chief officer of the Qintian Prison? If the emperor is still worried, he can still appoint a false official position, and he will be named a 'national preceptor', and he will have an overview of the fortune of the Tang Dynasty. In fact,
Just a casual job."
Li Shimin pointed at Bai Song, shaking his head, a little angry and a little funny: "I'll leave this matter to you, just tell me if you need anything."
"Please ask your Majesty to immediately draw up a statement and send it to the surrounding areas of Chang'an, announcing that the Alchemy Conference will be held in seven days. I will leave the rest to the ministers."
"Seven days? Isn't it too hasty?"
"Cut the mess with a sharp knife, and this matter should be done sooner rather than later."
"Would it be impossible to choose the most powerful Taoist in the world?"
"As long as the emperor declares the number one in the world, countless people from this world's orthodoxy will come to the capital to challenge him, and the real number one in the world will be selected sooner or later."
…
This is how the Alchemy Conference was decided.
Seven days is a bit urgent, but Donghuang Pavilion is hidden in Chang'an, so failure to remove it as soon as possible is always a hidden danger.
As soon as the news came out, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang found Bai Song one after another.
Yuan Tiangang came earlier. As soon as he arrived at the house, he asked, "Bai Song, what the hell did you do? Who asked you to hold an alchemy conference?"
"This...this is of course the emperor!"
"That's nonsense. How could the emperor have such thoughts?"
Bai Songqian smiled and touched his nose. He had already had a premonition about Mr. Yuan's attitude.
The biggest threats to the Alchemy Conference are naturally Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
They had a deep foundation inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, and their current status was achieved step by step.
Now, the sudden holding of an Alchemy Dao Conference is like holding an imperial examination among Taoists, giving some people a chance to reach the sky in one step. How can these two superiors be satisfied?
Bai Song knew he was in the wrong and said with a smile: "Sir, don't get angry in a hurry. It's just an alchemy conference. With your ability and knowledge, how can anyone else beat you in alchemy? This alchemy conference is not for competition.
First, it is mainly to promote communication among Taoists. This is a rare exchange meeting. Don’t you see that there are Buddhist temples everywhere now, and the living space of Taoism is becoming increasingly narrow, and students are also for the development of Taoism.”
"You're full of lies. Don't think I don't know that you show temples for Buddhism every month in Youzhou. Hundreds of Buddhist temples have been built in a few years. Are you doing it for the development of Taoism? What are you doing?"
"Building a Buddhist temple is for the original agreement I made with my predecessors. As for the Taoist tradition, students are really fond of it. I really do it for the development of Taoism, and of course, also for the emperor to live forever sooner."
"For the longevity medicine?" Yuan Tiangang frowned, "Do you also believe in immortality? Has there been a change in such a short period of time?"
Bai Song nodded: "Why not? I thought about it for a long time after the last conversation. If I can really live forever, but my wife and family can't, how painful it would be. So this time, I really hope that I can live forever."
Make a medicine for longevity."
These words convinced Yuan Tiangang: "Hey, you should discuss this matter with me before deciding."
"Don't worry, sir, he is my husband. I have already arranged a suitable position for him. We are mentors and do not play with the players. Even if a player does become the best in the world, he is still his apprentice."
…
News of the Alchemy Conference spread to the people of Chang'an, and the city's restaurants and teahouses also became lively.
There has been no similar activity in Chang'an for several years.
The last time there was a similar event was three years ago, the Tang Dynasty Poetry Conference.
Although a few years later, the poetry competition champion has disappeared and is no longer as popular as before.
But the people in Chang'an are yearning for the atmosphere of the past. The whole of Chang'an is discussing one thing, which is the entertainment activity that the people are most looking forward to after achieving a stable life.
Although it was the emperor who announced the news, it reached the ears of some people, and they could tell at a glance that the person who really came up with the idea was Bai Song.
Because this proposal is too vain.
"Brother Bai is Brother Bai. Chang'an has been boring without him for a long time. As soon as he came back, Chang'an immediately became lively."
At this year's Plum Garden Poetry Festival, Yu Ji looked at the plum blossoms in the garden and said lightly.
The Meiyuan Poetry Festival is held every year, but the number of participants changes every year.
But Yu Ji is a frequent visitor to the Poetry Society. As a contemporary literary saint, he will always be the most important guest in the Poetry Society.
There were many poetry societies in Chang'an, but only those poetry societies where Yu Ji appeared were truly recognized by literati.
At this moment, although Yu Ji's eyes were full of plum blossoms, he felt like he was feeling cold at the top.
After becoming a saint at a young age, even the famous beauties in Chang'an City did not dare to show even the slightest bit of admiration for Yu Ji. The only thing they could express was respect and admiration.
In the plum grove about ten meters away from Yu Ji, there were about twenty young men and women with severe strokes in Chang'an City, laughing and playing with each other, and occasionally reciting poems to each other.
Yu Ji only has a younger sister.
She just said something, but her sister didn't react at all. Yu Ji sighed: "Hey, in this wonderful poetry gathering, we have become decorations. When others see me, they treat me like an old man who is seventy or eighty years old. However, the only sister who can talk is still
There is no one to talk to."
"Sour, what do you mean?" Yu Qingqing glared and raised her lips.
"You really don't want to see him? If he doesn't come to you, you won't go?"
"If you don't go, you won't go!"
"I heard that Mr. Bai is a very busy man. He is busy organizing some alchemy conferences now. I'm afraid I won't have time to think about you."
"You still said it! You still said it!"
The little girl angrily picked up the wine bottle and drank a full mouthful of wine for herself.
"Bastard Bai Song, he has completely forgotten about me. If he doesn't see me, there is no way for me to see him!"
"Hey, you don't drink wine like this! If someone wants to see it, Wen Sheng's sister is so ignorant of etiquette, which will damage my reputation."
"You'd better become notorious so you don't have to ask me to accompany you to such a boring place."
"Really? Are you going to the Alchemy Conference in the next few days? Your brother and I have received an invitation. If you don't want to go, then don't go."
The little girl's eyes lit up: "When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
"I heard that not everyone can go to the Alchemy Conference. Except for the court ministers, the rest are all prominent figures in the capital. If a little unknown girl like my sister can receive an invitation, then
That’s just weird.”
"Brother...my good brother, if you want to take me there, you must take me to see the world."
