Yan Dynasty forbids cultivating immortals

At a moment's notice, Li Shouwen came back from court, and several ministers were waiting in the upper study room to discuss matters. The chief eunuch Wang came over and sent a message that His Highness the Second Highness would like to see him.

Today, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry are choking again. The emperor can't act casually because of his face, so he is angry in his heart.The eunuch Wang saw that the emperor didn't say anything, so he asked the little eunuch to report to the second highness. Today, Longyan is unhappy, so he waits outside the palace first, and he will mention it to the emperor when the emperor is happy.

Therefore, Li Jingcun waited outside the hall for an hour. When Eunuch Wang came to meet him in person, he saw him standing in the snow and complained that he didn't take care of his body.

Li Jingcun was extremely polite to him, chatting with him as they walked, and when he entered the entrance of the hall, he said that the thousand-year-old ginseng given to him by the emperor last time was still useless, and he would not need it for a while, and Luo Sheng would send it to him when he returned.

Eunuch Wang had a kind face and kind eyes, and after two or three shirks, he accepted Shan Ruliu, his eyes sparkling.One of the two is benevolent on the outside and scheming on the inside, while the other is extremely flattering to the top but vicious and vicious to the bottom.

The hall was clear and bright, and several ministers had already retreated.Li Shouwen leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyelids, the little eunuch beat his back attentively, Li Jingcun waited for a while.After about an incense stick of time, Li Shouwen opened his eyes after resting enough, and dismissed everyone with a flick of his hand.

Li Jingcun is very respectful, his face is as deep and sharp as a knife and an axe, he is naturally rebellious, and his actions are evil and insidious, but he loves to put on a show, everyone knows what kind of guy he is in his bones, but sometimes he insists on pretending to be a cotton sheep So come.

Hypocrisy is so similar to Li Shouwen, but Li Shouwen still cherishes the face of his Mingjun, while Li Jingcun doesn't care and acts recklessly, but the heart of tiger and wolf is exactly the same, so that there is a subtle hostile relationship between father and son .

Li Shouwen played with the paperweight in his hand, and slowly walked out from behind the table, "I heard from your mother and concubine that you have gone out again recently?"

Li Jingcun respectfully said: "I traveled to the Qinling Mountains, and recently I dreamed of going there again."

"Is it around Zhongnan Mountain?"

Li Jingcun replied: "Yes."

"When Gaozu ruled the world, cultivating immortals was banned on a large scale. Do you know why?"

This is a well-known fact in the world. "When the Yan Dynasty was just established, a thousand wastes were waiting for prosperity. Gaozu knew that the cultivation of immortals in the previous dynasty was prosperous and the people's livelihood was in decline, so he immediately ordered the cultivation of immortals as the first taboo after he ascended the throne. , The effect of this move is remarkable, and 20 years later, the people will be rich and live and work in peace and contentment, so Taoism is forbidden to add to the legislation of the Yan Dynasty."

The emperor asked: "Then do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Li Jingcun thought for a while, "I don't believe it."

"Then Jinan Mansion's invitation to the evil god caused a lot of trouble, how can you explain it?"

Li Jingcun didn't know how much his hypocritical father knew this time, so he could only remain silent.

The emperor also said: "There is an anecdote that when Gao Zu was a poor boy, he was exiled in Zhongnan Mountain. One day, he met a fairy who had attained the Tao, and gradually fell in love with the fairy. In a fit of rage, Taoism was banned." The emperor sighed after telling the story.

Li Jingcun recalled that in his dream Zhongnan Mountain was filled with fog, swaying and shadowy, a weather-beaten stone tablet flashed in front of his eyes countless times, winding cracks crossed the inscription on the stone tablet, and when the fog cleared, the two broken inscriptions were—— - "Zhong Nan"!

"Isn't this written in a folk drama? The one-fold drama called Hate Fengchun has been circulating for a long time."

Li Shouwen smiled meaningfully: "Sometimes the truth likes to be wrapped in rumors. Similarly, I think I can hide it from the world, but when pieced together bit by bit of rumors, I can piece together the general outline of the matter. There is no exception throughout the ages."

Li Shouwen walked slowly to his second son, and took a closer look at the second son. He had the appearance of a tiger and wolf, but he kept pretending to be a sick sheep, like a sleepy lion, tossing around with those who couldn't get on the stage, But if he is really awakened, he will jump up and swallow the person in one mouthful.

Really, the ferocity and brutality are a little scary.

"Father, are you saying that what is said in the play is true? My ban on Taoism is only caused by Gaozu's selfish desires?"

"It's not true, there's no way to verify it, believe it or not, it's been so many years, why? You still want to abolish this law?"

Li Jingcun hurriedly said: "I dare not."

Li Shouwen patted Li Jingcun on the shoulder, "Jing Cun, although father is busy with government affairs and neglects to discipline you, father naturally knows your heart and nature. There are some things that father doesn't say, and you know what father means. This country belongs to the Li family. Jiangshan, you are my emperor, so I will not let you be in danger, but there are some things, the time is not right, so don't act rashly, father always appreciates your calmness, so don't let father down .”

Li Jing made a second thought, knowing that Li Shouwen already knew about the affairs of the Jinan Mansion, he was not surprised. As long as Xu Shilang died, he would definitely know that he had nothing to do with him. If he knew that the prince secretly wanted to expose the old case, then He immediately knew that it was him who did it, so it seems that the joint investigation of the case by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials is just a cover. It should have found something, but they just suppressed it and didn't release the news. Rotten in the brocade robe.

Li Jingcun knew that it was Li Shouwen who blocked trouble for him again, and there was no warning in his words, it seemed that he was happy to see him and Li Jingren fight, so he said sincerely: "I would like to listen to my teachings."

Li Shouwen is no longer young. Li Jingren and Li Jingcun are like hyenas waiting beside the cheetah. As long as the cheetah shows a little fatigue, they will pounce on him and tear him up immediately, but Li Shouwen can't keep these two With all the hyenas killed, his Li family still needs fierce heirs to guard the country, pick out the most vicious hyenas, and save himself from being slaughtered.This is the survival rule of the royal family, blood is the enemy, cannibalism is the way of survival.

As for these two hyenas, he bet on Li Jingcun from the beginning.

On the way back to Chengqing Palace, Li Jingcun deliberately took a few extra steps, Luo Sheng was at his side, with Li Jingcun's fox fur under his arm, and he didn't say much.

The snow is fresh and the sky is clear, the world is elegant and clean, and there are groups of eunuchs on the road, nervously clearing the snow from the palace road.Seeing the two people walking towards them, they consciously lined up on both sides, held their breath, and knelt down to salute. Li Jingcun turned a blind eye and walked slowly past.

If you look carefully at the air in front of the two faces at this time, you will feel that it is abnormal. Liyi is to the north, and it is very cold in winter. When people walk on the road, they will not consciously breathe out the heat, and they will breathe out a large cloud of white mist. As long as they are alive, they can exhale. It was hot, and Li Jingcun and Luo Sheng had walked for a long time, with no shield in front of their faces, but without the slightest white breath, as if... they were not breathing.

"I heard people in the palace call you the white-faced ghost in private, saying that you are the reincarnation of Bai Wuchang."

Luo Sheng replied: "Ordinary people can be reincarnated, but impermanent ghosts are ghosts from hell, so they shouldn't be able to reincarnate."

Li Jingcun seemed very interested, "Oh, so you also believe in reincarnation?"

"Since you can live forever, then reincarnation may be true."

Li Jingcun stopped and brushed the snow on the green pine needles with his hand, "Father told an interesting story, saying that Gaozu banned Taoism because he became a fairy because of his infatuation. What do you think?"

Luo Sheng thought for a moment: "Gao Zu has deep affection."

Li Jingcun raised his head and laughed, "What is the deepest affection? If I were a great ancestor, I would not only be unable to restrain Taoism, but also to promote Taoism in the world. I can always find the way to live forever. If my life is as long as the sky, I am afraid that the fairy will be single-minded. Xiangdao? Just spend your whole life chasing after him, if you don’t follow, even if it’s going against the way of heaven, wouldn’t it be fine if you come back as a captive?”

Luo Sheng said: "Your Highness is indeed courageous."

"It's a pity that Gao Zu fought all his life and was defeated by a woman."

"Seven emotions and six desires are the true nature of human beings. Gaozu had countless women in his life, and all the beauties in the world could be in his arms, but he was so infatuated with one woman that he didn't change, so he became angry from shame, which prevented future generations from cultivating immortals for hundreds of years. It's not the same, Gao Zu is also true temperament."

Li Jingcun stopped and looked at Luo Sheng sideways: "You are quite petty, anyway, if you don't let the practice of Taoism hinder you who play with bugs, right?"

"Just seeing the daughters in the market feeling so emotional, I can learn from it to His Highness."

Li Jingcun laughed even more wildly, "Why don't you seek the way of longevity, and see that the change of dynasties is like the cycle of four seasons, and the ages will be ashes!"

Li Jingcun couldn't stop laughing wildly, Luo Sheng waited quietly, there were people walking around in the palace, they hid away when they saw the Second Highness going crazy, when he had laughed enough, he stopped his tears, and went back to slowing down all the time Then look like a calculation.

"Father mentioned something about the Jinan Mansion, it seems that it is not clean enough."

"It's the gangsters who are messing up the situation, so they can't stop."

"I'm not afraid of them disrupting the situation, I'm afraid of being caught by them and causing trouble."

"This...Your Highness don't have to worry, I will let Luo Cheng go to Jinan Mansion to find out what's going on, to make sure everything is safe."

"Well, do what should be clean, and that's it."
