Chapter 1895 Only scales and half claws are outside the clouds
Daqi Linzi, Donghua Pavilion.
It was originally a warm pavilion for resting, but it gradually took on extraordinary significance because today's emperors often read, hold small discussions, and meet with their ministers here.
The emperor sat in court for fifty-eight years. He sat in the Ziji Palace, practiced in the Lu Palace, and studied in the Donghua Pavilion. This was almost a constant practice.
People at that time said: Those who often come in and out of Donghua Pavilion are in the Sacred Heart of the Emperor.
A rickety old man wearing a ragged fur hat, a ragged coat, and carrying a white paper lantern walked in unluckily. The pumpkin warrior standing at the door seemed invisible.
Han Ling, the head of the internal officials, stood silently beside the emperor.
Li Zhengshu, who is nicknamed "Donghua Bachelor", sat with him unhurriedly.
It was quiet inside the pavilion, with warm lights and only the steady footsteps of the blind old man.
Emperor Qi put down the scroll he was reading, raised his finger, motioned to the palace maid to bring a big chair, and said kindly to the old man: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please sit down."
The old man does not sit down.
Carrying the white paper lantern behind his back, he bowed and saluted the emperor: "Although I have received great love from the emperor... I dare not show off in my dirty clothes."
Emperor Qi didn't force himself, he just sighed, somewhat sadly: "When was the first time I met you, sir?"
Zhu Sui thought for a while and replied: "This will be your Majesty's first year as crown prince."
"What did you say then?" the emperor asked.
Zhu Sui replied: "The old minister avoided the table and said that he was patrolling the night with a lantern. The white paper is ominous."
"Then what did I say at that time?" the emperor asked again.
Zhu Sui said: "Your Majesty said, 'The lamp that lights up the night not only illuminates the underworld, but also shows the way forward. How can it be ominous?'"
Under the warm light, this blind old man talked about the past many years ago. Li Zhengshu didn't know this part, and Han Ling didn't know either——
"Then His Majesty stretched out your hand and said to the old minister, 'This is Gu's hand.' He turned his palms downward and said, 'This is ominous.' He turned his palms upwards and said, 'Good luck to the world.'"
Li Zhengshu's handsome face was silent.
To hold down the palm of your hand is to bring bad luck to the world, and to lift your palm to hold the world to be blessed with good luck! How courageous!
When His Majesty was still the Crown Prince of the East Palace, he already had the ambition to dominate the world and had the ability to realize it.
Zhu Sui is the night watchman of Daqi, the leader of the watchman organization, and a strong man who has been guarding the Jiang Dynasty from the time of Wu Zu to the present.
In the first year after becoming the crown prince, His Majesty went to Zhu Sui and had such a conversation. What does this mean?
It shows that when the emperor was still in the East Palace, in the first year after becoming the crown prince, he had already taken control of the world, controlled both inside and outside the court, and even the most personal power of the emperors in the past dynasties began to be taken under his control.
The changes in the imperial court in the past dynasties were inevitably accompanied by bloodshed. No wonder that when the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was no disturbance at all!
What made him even more silent was that he, Li Zhengshu, was known as the "Donghua Scholar" and also the "Buyi Doctor". He often sat with the emperor to study, play chess and discuss politics, and he was considered one of the emperor's most trusted people.
But he didn't know anything about what Zhusui said.
The heart of the emperor encompasses the universe.
The emperor is like a dragon, with only his scales and half of his claws outside the clouds.
After quietly listening to Zhu Sui's talk about that year, Emperor Qi said with emotion: "I never think that my husband is unlucky, he is the one who cures unlucky! How can I rest my head without my husband watching the night?"
Zhu Sui lowered his head: "I am scared."
The emperor asked again: "How about Marquis Wu'an?"
Zhu Sui paused for a moment, cleared away all irrelevant emotions, and then said: "Marquis Wu'an killed Yu Guangyuan, defeated Ao Huangzhong, and invaded the Dingmao realm into a human camp. He chased and killed Aohuang Zhong all day and night.
They stopped before the army was ambushed. On the way back, they took the initiative to attack and joined forces with Qin Zhen in fishing sea tower to repel Xin Zhou, the blood king fish. Later, the prison emperor Zhong Xi took action and I retreated."
He told Jiang Wang's experience in the Lost World in full without adding any subjective thoughts.
The emperor repeated with satisfaction: "The talented and wise teacher Yu Guangyuan, the young and famous general Ao Huangzhong..."
He actually accurately stated the characteristics of Yu Guangyuan and Ao Huangzhong.
You must know that he has a vast eastern territory, including Southern Xia, and has a majestic view of the offshore seas. His territory is more than ten thousand miles away, his subjects are far more than hundreds of millions, and the affairs he has to deal with every day are as big as mountains and seas... yet he can actually deal with any fake king in the Mysterious Realm.
All so familiar!
Li Zhengshu was filled with admiration in his heart when he saw the emperor looking over with stern eyes: "Qi Xiao said that Marquis Wu'an did not have enough soldiers. Of course it was her judgment. But in wars, in the final analysis, it still depends on the outcome. Generations of the Li family have been
What do you think, Jiangmen, Zhengshu?"
This issue is dangerously urgent.
Either he disobeys the Holy Will, or he collides with Qi Xiao, and he still ignores his conscience, and risks the reputation of the Li family as a general for generations.
Smart people never make choices.
Li Zhengshu replied sincerely: "The Li family has indeed been a general for generations, but the Marquis of Destroy the City is my younger brother, not my minister. I have been studying Confucianism since I was a child. As for military strategy... I really can't get in the way."
Although he was not involved in the officialdom, he still held the casual post of Wen Linlang, so he had the reputation of discussing politics, so he could still be called a minister.
The emperor said with a smile: "It's just a small talk, why are you nervous."
The more relaxed Emperor Qi's tone became, the more serious Li Zhengshu's tone became: "How can we ask laymen about important military and state matters? I'm playing chess and discussing history, but it's OK for me to talk about military matters... Oh! I can't speak! Otherwise, I should go and see the soldiers.
Who is in the office?"
"Old oil man!" the emperor cursed. He turned back and looked at Zhu Sui: "Sir, why do you think Zhong Xi took action?"
Zhu Sui said calmly: "He said he received an urgent letter from the blood descendant Ao Huangzhong to stand up for the younger generation."
"Do you believe it?" the emperor asked.
Only then did Zhusui express his thoughts: "Believe half of it."
The Emperor's tone was calm: "The tsunami is coming, let's see how Qi Xiao navigates the boat."
Zhu Sui stood at the foot of the steps, wanting to speak but stopping.
"Sir, do you have something to say?" the emperor asked.
Zhu Sui considered it carefully and said: "Ever since His Majesty delivered the ruins of Kurongyuan, I have been in charge of the Dharma Body. For decades, I have never left a step. This time I went to sea, for the sake of Marquis Wu'an, I had to deal with it with the utmost combat power. So he said
The body, Dharma, and body are in harmony, and they follow the wandering world.
Although the ruins had been swept through before leaving Beijing, it was still difficult to feel at ease.
Now this is just a samurai body, and there are still some omissions in getting a few night boys, and I am in charge of Kurongyuan... I might not be able to catch him."
"Chaocangwu" says: The Dharma body must be combined with the Dao body to achieve the expansion of the Dao.
It talks about the key steps from the path of enlightenment to the path of expansion.
After reaching the level of Yan Dao, the Tao body is practicing all the time. Most of the most powerful people usually only use the Dharma body to walk in the world. Only at critical moments when life and death are needed, the Dharma body and the Tao body are combined and embodied.
Extreme fighting power.
Of course, the Dharmakaya walks alone. After all, it is not strong enough, and there is also the risk of being damaged, which will seriously harm the path. The specific circumstances are all up to each person's choice.
As for the Sambhogakaya that Zhu Sui mentioned, it was his own magical power. It was not named after the Sambhogakaya, but was simply referred to by him using this Buddhist term.
After listening to Zhu Sui's worries, Emperor Qi just waved his hand: "I am sensible."
Zhusui then bowed and said, "I take my leave."
It was the 29th year of Yuanfeng that Kurongyuan was razed. Time flies, and now it is the 58th year of Yuanfeng.
A full twenty-nine years have passed, but there are still troubles in Kurongyuan?
As the eldest son of the Shimen Li family, Li Zhengshu knew what happened back then. He just didn't know how the twenty-nine years passed in the ruins after Kurongyuan was razed.
He silently looked at his palm prints, only listening but not speaking.
The emperor quietly looked at the rickety back of the blind man holding the lantern, and watched him leave Donghua Pavilion.
The tattered coat on Zhu Sui's body hid some warm light. Even in the warm spring-like Donghua Pavilion, he was also a little dim.
Until the figure disappeared, Han Ling, who stood aside and remained silent, said softly: "Master Zhusui is simple and simple, so his actions are effective, and everyone at nightfall likes to wear them like this."
This Han Ling was carrying someone even in the wind! Li Zhengshu was a little annoyed and looked at the stitching on his sleeves again.
I could only hear the emperor saying: "I have often thought about the great strategy of Emperor Wu."
Just this one word.
The stitching is really beautiful, the thread is in the hands of a loving mother, and the clothes are on the body of a wanderer!
Li Zhengshu's mother died early, and he was brought up by Mrs. Li since he was a child. He also regards Mrs. Li as his biological mother. At this moment, he feels homesick.
Qi Tianzi sat there in silence for a while, and suddenly repeated softly: "Repulse the Blood King Fish Xinzhou..."
He picked up a memorandum beside him and dusted it off with great satisfaction: "When I was in Delu Palace, I asked him how he would repay me. He said that I, the proudest man in the world, had defeated the most arrogant man in the world, and now my victory reaches beyond the sky."
The emperor has a keen eye for people, and he saw early on that Marquis Wu An was extraordinary, so he was extremely wise.
But...don't miss Qin Zhen!
The Blood King was not defeated by Jiang Wang. He was just a side drum at most. What are you proud of here?
I, Mr. Li, dislike exaggeration the most in my life. Although I have a good relationship with Marquis Wu'an, I cannot bear to show off my reputation and receive false reputation!
The emperor's hand holding the memorial paused in the air, as if waiting for something.
Li Zhengshu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty's words are absurd!"
"oh?"
"The Holy Emperor has a vast empire and encompasses all realms. How can he appear alone in this world? From what I can see, the one who wins the victory of Marquis Wu'an is still the pride of the world, just like the preface of Delu Palace!"
"Jun Yulang, Jun Yulang, you are this man..." The emperor reached out and nodded at his Donghua bachelor, but said nothing else.
Then he opened the memorandum in his hand and said, "There is one more thing that you should discuss with me."
Li Zhengshu raised his hand and said, "My lord, let me give it a try."
The emperor looked at the memorial and said: "Qi Xiao's comment on Hou Wu'an's military strategy included another sentence, saying that she took action to erase the disaster on Hou Wu'an, but the disaster on Hou Wu'an seemed not serious in the first place...
What do you mean by what she said?"
Li Zhengshu did not hesitate this time and replied directly: "Shuai Qi is telling Your Majesty that she already knows about the fact that you asked Lord Zhusui to protect Marquis Wu An."
"anything else?"
Li Zhengshu said: "With Qi Shuai's style, Master Zhu Sui will definitely be used."
Always by your side, when to protect yourself wisely, and when to show your heart. The heat of the moment is something that no one can grasp.
There were many ministers who entered Donghua Pavilion, and many accompanied the emperor to play chess and study. Why was Li Zhengshu alone called the "Donghua Scholar"?
That’s also a lot of real skill!
"This Qi Xiao." The emperor was a little helpless: "Does your appetite have that much?"
Li Zhengshu said: "I am not good at military affairs, but occasionally I can play with small money. There are rich ways of playing, and there are poor ways of playing. Generally speaking, the richer you are at the gambling table, the more money you can win."
"Qi Xiao wants to use a white paper lantern to light the way forward, wouldn't he put Marquis Wu'an in danger again?" The emperor said: "He came back from the demon world with difficulty and was supposed to rest for a year and a half, but now he hurriedly went to the lost world again.
But it’s all my intention.”
Li Zhengshu pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Come on, the general will have his own opinions outside." Emperor Qi put down the memorial: "Since I have assigned Qi Xiao to military affairs, risking his life and death, and using his bravery and strategy, how can I sit in the court and point fingers?"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Li Zhengshu shouted very loudly.
The Emperor looked over and said, "Then what do you think Marquis Wu An should do?"
Li Zhengshu lowered his head and said, "I think your Majesty has already made plans, so I dare not speak nonsense."
The emperor looked out the window and saw the five people hugging Fushan Laogui, who had not yet seen the autumn colors. His voice was leisurely: "Yu Shangqing wrote a poem a few days ago, and it was well written."
Li Zhengshu said: "The Peach Blossom Fairy is naturally a charming character."
"He has been enjoying flowers in the garden for more than a year. He can go out and relax." The emperor said, "He also drank with Marquis Wu'an, didn't he?"
Han Ling gave a slight salute and disappeared into Donghua Pavilion.
…
…
People come and go, and the world remains the same.
When it comes to drinking, only gourmets drink wine, while ordinary people mostly drink because of their sophistication, and some are not vulgar and indecent, because they drink emotions.
Marquis Wu'an wanted to have a banquet with his friends, so Dingmao Floating Island moved out all the treasures. Of course, it was not much better. But it was strong enough and managed enough.
Fang Yuanyou walked upstairs with a big wine vat in his arms, and happened to hear his Lord Marquis talk lightly about meeting the blood king fish Xinzhou.
With a shake of his hand, he almost broke the wine vat.
Fortunately, the whole restaurant was quiet and no one paid attention to him.
"Ah?" After all, Zhu Biqiong is not as sharp as Zhuo Qingru. She doesn't know how injured Jiang Wang is. When she heard that it was related to the Blood King, she couldn't hide her panic: "How are you?"
Jiang Wang raised his hand and pressed it softly, speaking calmly and confidently: "It doesn't matter."
Zhuo Qingru concealed her shock by drinking tea, and couldn't help but re-examine this great genius of Qi.
But Jiang Wang didn't really pull the wool over the tiger's skin. He just said: "Fortunately, I was with Master Qin at the time, and she helped block it."
"Which Master Qin?" Zhuo Qingru asked.
Jiang Wangdao: "There is no second real person named Qin in the Mysterious World at the moment."
Zhuo Qingru's eyes were flowing, and he glanced at Zhu Biqiong without any trace. The blood king's terrifying magical power is not easy to block. An ordinary monk will die if he can't even take a look at him. The real person in Diaohailou can help so easily.
Is that so? Especially for a talented person from Qi State?
Zhu Biqiong breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhenren Qin doesn't pay much attention to worldly affairs, and maybe he doesn't know you well enough... Uh, I mean, I mean, she, she..."
Her mood fluctuated too much, and she was momentarily clumsy. The more she tried to speak clearly, the less clear she became. She was so anxious that she wanted to burn the sea with eight notes. She was completely different from the indifferent and serious senior sister she usually was.
Zhuo Qingru kindly helped to summarize: "You said her eyes were not very good, and her heart was clouded by lard."
Zhu Biqiong glared angrily.
"When I first came to the Mysterious Realm, someone told me that all human beings in the Mysterious Realm are all noble. Qin Zhenren also had this in mind." Jiang Wang took over the words: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you have any contact with the sect?
Is there any way? Zhenren Qin is injured now, and King Yan of the Sea Clan is probably chasing her——"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhu Biqiong stood up immediately.
Turning around, he saw Fang Yuanyou holding a huge wine jar and pestle.
Then he turned around and pulled Zhuo Qingru up: "Senior Sister Zhuo, I don't remember the way, please stay with me!"
