Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Wudu, a rural courtyard.

In the chicken coop in the yard, a few chickens pecked at the rice non-stop, and a dog wandered around, and when it wanted to pee, it went to the edge of the vegetable garden, raised its leg and peed.

"Old Zhang, your moving is more shabby than the last. This yard doesn't match your status!"

An old man was playing chess with a young man.

The old man was the most respected elder in the Wu Kingdom.

The young man was a rising star in the Wu Kingdom, a "favorite minister" impeached by hundreds of officials.

The chessboard was carved by the old man on a stone table.

The chess pieces were carved by the young man casually when he had nothing to do.

"What status do I have? Just a commoner. At most, I have more cultivation. Besides, people are so old. What's the use of a big mansion? I'm going to get lost."

Mr. Zhang Lu, the old man, dropped a white piece.

"I heard that His Majesty is recently trying to make you the prime minister?"

Xiao Mochih shook his head: "Prime Minister Fang is unwilling."

Mr. Zhang laughed: "Why do you think he is unwilling?"

Xiao Mochih shook his head again: "Anyway, it's not for the so-called power."

"Hahahaha..." Mr. Zhang pointed at Xiao Mochih and scolded with a smile, "Do you want to be the prime minister for that power?"

Xiao Mochih smiled without saying a word.

"Isn't the power of the Zhongshu Ling enough for you to handle things?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"Not enough." Xiao Mochih dropped a piece, "It's still far from enough. Even with His Majesty's support, it's very troublesome. I didn't feel it before, but now it really is, a higher rank really crushes people."

"It's you who want to crush others." Mr. Zhang gave Xiao Mochih a white look.

Xiao Mochih just smiled without saying a word.

"Then unless you promise Fang Ling to do that one thing, otherwise he won't step down." Mr. Zhang said, stroking his chin.

Xiao Mochih shook his head: "I respect Prime Minister Fang. I also want to do what Prime Minister Fang wants to do, but the problem is, how easy is it to do what Prime Minister Fang wants to do? It's even more difficult than my reform."

"Then there's no way. Just bear with it. At least Fang Ling hasn't caused you any trouble yet. You should be secretly happy." Mr. Zhang picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, "I heard that His Majesty has let that kid Xu Ming follow him?"

"Yes."

Xiao Mochih finally didn't have to shake his head anymore.

"Xu Ming is both civil and military, talented and intelligent, and he is also a son of a concubine. He is still young, and His Majesty only has one daughter. Everyone knows what His Majesty wants to do."

"How did the officials react?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"Most of them support it." Xiao Mochih replied.

"Indeed, Xu Ming is famous all over the world for his "Butterfly Love Flower: Gift to Zhu Ci Ci". As the son of a concubine, at the age of ten, he won the first prize in the provincial and metropolitan examinations. The civil officials have a good impression of him.

Later, Xu Ming entered the Blood Floating Pagoda and entered the Heroic Soul Realm at the age of thirteen, which is one of the few in the world today. The military officials like those guys again.

Although His Majesty is in his prime, he can no longer have children. If Xu Ming can have two babies with the princess, and directly cultivate the imperial grandson, the foundation of the country will be there."

"It would be great if it were really that smooth." Xiao Mochih sighed, "I'm just worried that when His Majesty bestows a marriage, Xu Ming will not accept it."

"If Xu Ming accepts it, the Xu Mansion and the Qin Mansion will not have a good life." Mr. Zhang said.

"Yes."

Xiao Mochih also had the same opinion.

"Now the Xu State Mansion and the Qin State Mansion have talented people, and with the protection of their ancestors, the network of relationships in the court is not bad. If Xu Ming is made a consort, and even Xu Ming's child will be the future Wu Kingdom Lord.

Everyone is worried that the Xu and Qin kingdoms, especially the Xu kingdom, will be too arrogant.

His Majesty will definitely find a legitimate reason to deal with the Xu and Qin kingdoms, or find a way to separate Xu Ming from the Xu kingdom.

Anyway, Xu Ming was a son of a concubine before, and his connection with the Xu kingdom was not very deep."

Mr. Zhang took a sip of tea: "Let's not talk about this. The Rootless Secret Realm is about to open, right?"

"The Rootless Secret Realm had a little accident and needs to be postponed for two and a half years." Xiao Mochih replied, "And according to the prediction of Tianji City, this opening of the Rootless Secret Realm is likely to be the last time."

"When a secret realm collapses, the opportunities are often the greatest. Many dynasties and sects should be eager to try, right?" Mr. Zhang said with a smile.

"Yes, but this time, the various dynasties and sects need to consider it carefully."

Xiao Mochih brushed his sleeves.

"The Rootless Secret Realm is coming to the end of its life, and the laws in the secret realm must be disordered. Before the secret realm started, you could make a talisman according to the laws of the secret realm. If you suffer a fatal injury, you will be withdrawn, but the next time will be different. The next time will be a real fight. If you die, you die. There is no second chance."

"The more dangerous and chaotic it is, the greater the opportunity will be. The great world is about to come, and there will be a great reshuffle between heaven and earth. If you don't fight, you will only perish."

As he spoke, Mr. Zhang sighed.

"By the way, who will preside over the next triennial examination? Is it still Minister of Rites, Wang Xiazi?"

"Lord Wang will be ill seven months later." Xiao Mochih showed a smile that everyone understood, "His Majesty said, let me preside over it."

Mr. Zhang: "Hahaha, His Majesty is using this trick to pave the way for you. The next triennial examination will be very lively. It will be a year of harvest after the imperial examination is opened. There will definitely be many talented people. At that time, you will be their teacher."

Xiao Mochih: "Then Mr. Zhang, which of the well-known scholars do you think are worth paying attention to?"

"Aren't you familiar with the ones worth paying attention to? A pair of brothers." Mr. Zhang glanced at Xiao Mochih.

Xiao Mochih was stunned for a moment and smiled: "That's right."

A rare look of anticipation flashed in Mr. Zhang's eyes:

"To be honest, the Xu Ming and Xu Pangda brothers, one doesn't look like something in a pond, and will stir up the Wu Kingdom and even the world. The other is diligent and conscientious, like an old ox. When he becomes an official, he will patch up the mess you people have made."

Xiao Mochih fell into thought: "It's very, very difficult to be a repairman."

"It's quite difficult, but that little fatty can do it." Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, "By the way, have you heard of one thing?"

"Huh?"

"Zhu Ci Ci went to Bailu Academy. She just turned fifteen a while ago. The lords of Liang and Wei proposed marriage to the Yunyi Marquis Mansion, with the specifications of the crown princess."

"And then?" Hearing this anecdote, Xiao Mochih became interested.

"That girl spread incense all over her door, and then put the jasmine flower core on the incense."

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard.

"That word 'Ming' is connected to 'Ming'."
