Greetings, Ninth Uncle
Chapter 363
Cheng Yujin didn't struggle. No one is an iron wall, a body of King Kong, no matter how powerful Li Chengjing is, there will be times when he is vulnerable. At this moment, he must be in great need of comfort.
The emperor finally brought down the two mountains, Yang Fucheng and the Empress Dowager Yang. For the first time since he ascended the throne 25 years ago, he felt what an emperor should be like. He holds the power in his hand, and I am the only one who is the only one, and is waiting to show his strength, but his head disease attacks from time to time, holding back a lot of the emperor's energy. Naturally, he has no time to display his grand ideas.
The emperor was very annoyed at the head disease, but what was on his head, even the most virtuous imperial medical team could do nothing. Acupuncture, drinking medicine, and massage have all been tried, but the effect is limited. When a headache occurs, it cannot be relieved at all, and you can only get through it on your own.
The emperor gradually stopped believing in the imperial doctor, but placed his hope in some divine and Buddha techniques. He wants health, and more longevity.
The second prince listened to the advice of his staff and introduced some strange people to the emperor. Among them, there was a Taoist priest, Taoist, thin and slender, with a Taoist name of Chongxu Sanren. He said that after saving a white deer in Zhongnan Mountain, he was rewarded by the deer and gave it a longevity medicine. He went into the mountain to trace the traces of the white deer, After living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain for 200 years, he finally found the Dao.
Chongxu Sanxian Daogu Xianfeng, the appearance of an expert outside the world, does look like a secluded and escaping style. The emperor was immediately attracted by the other party's bizarre encounter. The emperor asked Chongxu Sanren for a long time, and after listening to him talk about his experience in cultivation, he was convinced and named Chongxu Sanren as the guest of honor.
From then on, Chongxu Sanren frequented the palace and taught the emperor how to prolong life. I don't know what he ate for the emperor, but the emperor felt that the headache was greatly relieved after taking it, and even his body became lighter. Therefore, the emperor was more convinced of the vain people, and built the Yinghua Hall in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, dedicated to the immortals, and asked the immortals.
The Yinghua Hall was filled with smoke, and the scriptures were recited incessantly. The emperor stayed in the Yinghua Hall every day, with no intention of foreign affairs, and he was not allowed to disturb others when he was cultivating. Because Chongxu Sanren was recommended by the second prince, and the second prince was obedient to the emperor, and the second prince became one of the few people who could enter and leave the Yinghua Hall at will.
A good emperor has gone to practice Taoism, and the ministers are very bad. It may be true to save the deer from the emptiness, but they have lived for two hundred years, and they absolutely do not believe it. But who made the emperor believe that even if the officials were anxious, they could only bear it.
Because of the frequent access of alchemists, the heavily guarded palace suddenly became smoky. Li Chengjing didn't believe a word of those Taoist priests, but because of the emperor, he couldn't say anything.
The emperor originally placed his hope in the gods and Buddhas because the headache could not be cured for a long time, and he was disappointed with the medical skills. If Li Chengjing blocked the emperor's request, it would seem that he had other intentions. Li Chengjing admits that he has been very forbearing, but those Taoist priests are not enough to search for gold and silver jewelry, so he slowly turned his attention to the power of the imperial court.
Everyone is like this, it is impossible to be content and happy. When you have money, you want power.
Chongxu Sanren knew that the prince had a very high prestige, and he had a deep reputation both in the folk and in the court. He didn't dare to explicitly target the crown prince, but only said that a White Deer Terrace would be built. According to him, when Kuafu opened up the heavens and the earth, the clear qi ascended, for the heavens, and the turbid qi descended, and for the earth, practicing in the place closest to the heavens can achieve twice the result with half the effort. And the Chongxu Sanren's cultivation of Zhengguo is entirely dependent on the guidance of Bailu, so a towering Bailutai must be built. Maybe this way, the deer of the year can be attracted back and granted the emperor's longevity medicine again.
The emperor was immediately persuaded, and immediately ordered the construction of Bailutai. Because what the Shenlu looks like and how to attract the Shenlu back are all decided by Chongxu Sanren alone, so how Bailutai should be repaired is entirely up to Chongxu alone.
The people in the six divisions were already dissatisfied with such a big project, and the group of Taoists still pointed fingers, saying that this is not right today, and tomorrow they will accuse that person of sabotage, and their arrogance is very arrogant. The officials of the six divisions were all orthodox jinshi who had entered official positions. Those who could stand here were all outstanding scholars. But Taoist priests are not classy alchemists. In the past, Taoists didn't even have the qualifications to meet them. Now, these gangsters are stepping on their heads and pointing fingers and criticizing their opinions. How can the civil servants bear it?
People kept coming to complain to Li Chengjing. Li Chengjing could bear it at first, but when he saw that the emperor planned to use his national strength to build a high platform, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and went to the emperor to react to the absurdity of the matter.
Just last year, there were floods and plagues. At this time, it was time to recuperate and reduce taxes. As a result, the emperor wanted to build a lot of construction, just to build a useless Bailutai. It is not extremely absurd. However, how can the emperor listen to such words now, especially Chongxu Sanren has been inadvertently chanting in the emperor's ears several times these days, saying that the prince deliberately blocked Bailutai because he did not want the emperor to ask for the elixir of life.
The Prince's intentions are very subtle.
The emperor was already suspicious. After listening to Li Chengjing's admonition, he was furious. The emperor angrily reprimanded Li Chengjing, stopped the crown prince's power to assist the government, banned his feet in the East Palace, and transferred the assistant government affairs to the second prince. In addition, the second prince was pure filial piety and loyal, and was solely responsible for the construction of Bailu Terrace.
Kunning Palace.
When Empress Yang heard the report from the palace maid, she hurriedly greeted her: "Jun'er."
