Ma Laodao is none other than the old ghost Wang from Qingshan Camp who is in charge of Taoshan County...
Wang Laogui never thought in his life that he would have such a chance to soar into the sky!
Although it is still considered a deception, it can be regarded as meeting the real high-ranking officials and powerful people after all. Who is Gao Qiu? Although Song Langjun Song Wen seems to be quite cold, he cannot deny that Song Wen and most of the people in Qingshan Camp have grown up in the past two years.
He likes to travel around the world or deal with the government under the banner of Captain Gao.
Old ghost Wang didn't know that the gang of thieves who caused trouble in Bianliang some time ago were Xiao Fuzi and Qingshan Ying. Otherwise, he would not dare to come to Bianliang to deceive and kidnap him.
Today, Old Ghost Wang is still breathing in a small courtyard with a fairylike air. His white beard and hair are moving in the wind, and he looks very intimidating...
A housekeeper pushed open the door and walked in. He couldn't help but breathe nervously... These days, the belief in otherworldly masters, gods and ghosts is very popular, and the fear of ghosts and gods is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Master Immortal, Commander Gao Dian has invited you!"
Two Taoist boys with a calm demeanor appeared instantly, bringing Old Ghost Wang back to reality instantly... How could he be an outsider? He was just a liar instructor from Qingshan Camp!
"Well, there's no need to be polite, housekeeper! Pindao is not an immortal master. Calling Taoist Ma will make Pindao feel at ease..."
"Master Immortal is so polite. I also ask Master Immortal to accompany me to see Gao Dianshuai!"
"Okay! Xuancheng... you go with me. Master has already asked you to make the lamp that day. It will be more convenient for you to explain some matters to Gao Dianshuai!"
One of the handsome Taoist boys bowed and saluted: "Disciple, I obey!"
~~~~~~
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the official Zhao Ji held a banquet for all the ministers in the palace! It is said that even Cai Jing, who was ill and was recuperating at home, was carried into the palace in a sedan chair. But among the ministers' whispers, there was some gloating...
Something happened to Wang Fu.
This sycophant who quickly rose to power was supposed to be proficient in pleasing the emperor, but he stumbled over a small matter.
Wang Fu shyly and timidly reported to Song Huizong a few days ago that a jade mushroom actually grew from the pillar of his family! It was indeed a good omen, and Fang La died and the Manichaean religion was torn apart... Zhao Ji ran out of the palace and came to Wang Fu's home as soon as he was happy.
Enjoy Yuzhi!
It doesn’t matter whether that thing is real white jade Ganoderma lucidum or some deceptive trick created by Wang Fu... The emperor only needs to approve it! The pillars... the pillars! The pillars are born with jade ganoderma, which shows that the master has both talent and virtue and is the king of the Song Dynasty.
The pillars of...
Fortunately, in order to please Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu's house was chosen next door to Liang Shicheng!
Liang Shicheng wanted to be optimistic about the emperor and did not live much at home on weekdays. However, Wang Fu secretly opened a small door in the wall for the convenience of Mr. Enfu.
To be honest, this small door has not been opened a few times in the past two years. It is difficult to say whether Liang Shicheng knew this, but Wang Fu's move was somewhat inappropriate.
I don’t know if someone told Emperor Zhao Ji in advance, or if Zhao Ji discovered it accidentally! In short, after Zhao Ji saw the small door on the east side of the garden with his own eyes, his face immediately turned cold...
One of the prime ministers of the current dynasty...a bachelor of the cabinet, actually interacts with me in this way with my most trusted servant? How can we communicate privately through a small door! Whose eyes and ears are we trying to avoid? What is the purpose of avoiding people's eyes and ears?
Even if you have 10,000 reasons to cultivate trust, even if you have 10,000 abilities to please the emperor! Once you make the emperor feel that there is anything wrong with his power and throne, you are committing a capital crime!
Emperor Zhao Ji remained calm, but declined Wang Fu's invitation to have a banquet... Although Wang Fu prepared two stunning beauties for the occasion, Song Huizong still quietly left and returned to Genyue.
Wang Fu was so smart, he immediately realized that the emperor must be angry! After thinking about it carefully... Finally, Wang Fu stood in front of the small door that he had almost forgotten, and his face was as pale as earth!
It’s over…
Gao Qiu didn't care about the fate of people like Wang Fu, but it was said that some admonishers were already preparing to substantiate his misconduct in bending the law for personal gain, and his dismissal seemed to be a certainty...
The greatest advantage of Gao Qiu is that he doesn't get involved in things that he shouldn't, and he doesn't worry about things that he shouldn't!
There is no Gao Qiu among the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty. It is really not an oversight... Gao Qiu is greedy and useless! But Gao Qiu will not worry about the endless power and status... It is to make the emperor happy and make the emperor feel at ease with himself!
Gao Qiu's way of being an official is the foundation of being a human being!
After listening to the words of the little Taoist priest in front of him, Gao Qiu felt relieved... "Not bad, not bad! Thank you for your hard work, Taoist priest. Here comes someone! Give the little Taoist priest a hundred taels of silver to make some Taoist robes..."
"Yes, sir."
The little Taoist priest Xuancheng gave a Taoist priest... "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord! Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief is serious. It is the blessing of the little Taoist to do good things for the court and to stabilize the people's hearts! Master taught us that becoming a monk does not mean staying away from the world and prosperous times.
Taiping is also a paradise for Taoist disciples to practice..."
Gao Qiu chuckled and said: "Yes, yes, this is the style of a master outside the world! Then tonight is already fourteenth, can you first light up the sky lanterns in the village outside the city? This way I will have some confidence, and I can give you some advice."
Your Majesty has given an explanation!"
The words were spoken to the old immortal Taoist Ma on the left side of the Xianfeng Daogu. The answer was still the little Taoist Xuancheng, while Taoist Ma closed his eyes slightly and looked like he was wandering in the world... Maybe all the masters in the world are like this?
The little Taoist priest Xuancheng looked at his master. The old man nodded slightly and uttered one word... "Good!"
Gao Qiu immediately felt relieved. It seemed that the sky lantern had really been built. He finally did not lose face to the emperor. Song Wen was also able... Such an expert could be invited from the rivers and lakes, so he was established.
What a success!
In the afternoon, Gao Qiu and a dozen of his followers first inspected the main camp of the South Camp Forbidden Army. They reprimanded a few generals who were lazy and did not lead the troops to drill in person.
The confidant got the news and left angrily.
It was night, and Gao Qiu did not return to Bianliang. Instead, he went directly to a farm outside his city. The new sky lantern carefully crafted by the young Taoist Xuancheng under the guidance of several juniors was placed here!
Gao Qiu was actually a little scared, not afraid of anything else... What if the sky lantern made by Taoist Xuancheng was exactly the same as the sky lantern set on fire by the Manichaean rebels? He couldn't imagine Song Wen setting fire to rebel, but what if
Is the official Zhao Ji suspicious?
It can be seen that the moment Gao Qiu saw this sky lantern, not only was he not relieved... he was also full of horror and anger!
In the backyard that had been closed for a long time, a straw hanging basket the size of two bathtubs was neatly placed, and a huge silk satin was hung on the shelf next to it... Strange things made of bamboo were connected to the bottom of the silk satin, faintly.
You can tell that there is something unknown painted on the silk satin, and there are some patterns and writings on it...
"You... I also saw the Manichaean sky lantern with my own eyes that day! The lantern was as big as a house and shone brightly that day... What... is this thing? It's like a discouraged turtle... This thing can also fly.
Can't you get up? If you dare to deceive the prince of the dynasty and deceive the emperor... be careful of all the lives of your family!"
When Xuancheng faced the anger and doubts of the current Taiwei, Taoist Xuancheng did not panic at all... "Infinite Heavenly Lord! Why are you so angry, Taiwei? The sky lantern can only fly into the sky after it is lit! This thing has not been ignited yet.
How can you fly?"
Gao Qiu was doubtful and asked: "Can this thing really fly?"
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, just give it a try!"
Taoist priest Xuancheng clapped his hands, and several Taoist priests from a distance came over and bowed to salute... "Infinite Heavenly Lord... I have met senior brother Xuancheng!"
