The Lord who use immortals as food

"Two Ho Kyungs?"

"Yes." Li Xizhou pressed his hand on the pavilion railing, "Xu Chuo said that you have made up some poetry books in the past few months. Can you teach you to read the Book of Songs?"

"…Never."

Li Xizhou said in a manly voice: "Hao Jing and Hao Jing overlap, fish and birds accompany each other; if we meet the beautiful wandering girl in the sky, our longing for each other will never end."

"Please forgive me for being humble and ignorant. The connection between what Your Highness said and the current situation is..."

"Two thousand years later, dynasties changed, Haojing fell, and the place was renamed Chang'an." Li Xizhou said, "In the thirty-third year of the last emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a man named Jiang Yan took a boat and anchored at the Chang'an ferry. Because of poverty, he He didn't go ashore to rest, so he slept in the boat all night. It was a stormy night, and the Weishui River was turbulent. The next day, the river was covered with yellow leaves. It took the boatman a long time to wake him up, and they headed south. ”

"Jiang Yan was not well-known in the past and his official career was in trouble. However, after returning to the south this time, he thought about poetry and wrote many poems that have been handed down for generations. As a result, his official career has been prosperous." Li Xizhou still looked at Taiye Ice Pond, "In San More than ten years later, in his later years, Jiang Yan told others that he logged in in his dream that night. After entering the spiritual realm, the spirit monster gave him a five-color pen. When he was about to die, he took a boat back to the bank of the Wei River. He still slept alone in the boat for one night. When he woke up, he told his children and grandchildren: "I borrowed it from my dream in the past." I have returned the pen now, but I wish I could not stay in this wonderful scene and return to the mortal world."

"He inserted what he saw in that night's dream into many poems - 'The spiritual realm is flooded with letters, and the enjoyment is not in vain.' 'The blue barrier flows around, and the golden pool is always clear.'" Li Xizhou lowered his head and lifted his sleeves lightly, " Another thousand years later, it was the time of the Tang Dynasty.”

Pei Ye listened quietly.

"In the twenty-seventh year of Yufeng, Liu Gong received the edict from the saint of Chang'an and went to Beijing from Yongzhou. This recovery was very important to him, just like Qianyuan Zhenyu. However, on the eve of arriving in Chang'an City, He disappeared for two whole nights.”

"No one could find him, no one knew where he had gone, and two days later, he appeared inexplicably at the inn."

"He didn't tell anyone where he had been in the past two days, not even his wife and children. This time he returned to Beijing and was still not reused. He was relegated to Liuzhou. After leaving Beijing this time, he frequently set foot in deep mountains and ancient pools, walking with a stick to find The coldness off the beaten track Qingjing is located in a remote place, and there is no record of what he was looking for in the historical anecdotes. It was just a distraction for a frustrated man," Li Xizhou said quietly, "He only wrote in his poem to himself, 'Spiritual Realm. It’s so shameful that it’s hard to find forgiveness for the ghost.’”

In this narration, Pei Ye once again experienced the coolness when he visited Zihuang on that rainy night, a kind of loneliness that was so bright and magnificent that it was not like the human world.

Li Xizhou folded his hands in his sleeves: "Over the years, Xianrentai has visited mountains and rivers and read ancient books. What he has sorted out so far is such an intermittent line. It may be called a clue or far-fetched. In short, now, it has arrived. It’s on us.”

Pei Ye raised his head.

"Look," the woman raised her hand and pointed towards the other side of Taiye. Although her face was covered by gold and iron, her indifferent voice still seemed to outline her expression, "Have you seen that palace?"

Pei Ye looked around and saw that the mist had dissipated. On the opposite bank, a lonely palace was located there. It was hidden by trees. Thick snow could be seen in the distance. The trees in that area were taller and crooked than elsewhere. If it is twisted, the bare branches will be messy and look like no one has pruned them.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a lonely place in the palace.

"The empress Wei Qingju is my mother. That is the palace where she lived during her lifetime, called Mingyue Palace."

"..."

"Have you ever heard anyone talk about her?" Li Xizhou's voice became softer.

"…Only, very few people have heard of it."

"Then let me tell you."

Li Xizhou said softly, tilting his head back slightly: "Come up."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, then bowed, went up two steps, and stood beside His Highness, with soft red gauze ribbons flying in front of him.

"Actually, I have never actually met her. I only heard about her from some old friends. Xu Ji said that she was extremely beautiful and gentle, with her eyes looking beyond the sky, and hiding secrets in her chest that no one could explain; Li Mian said , she is insightful and decisive, and quirky. When she smiles, others will worry whether they have been teased by her again... When she was in the back position more than 20 years ago, there were no rotten roots and silverfish in the court, and there were five aristocratic families with five surnames. All gnashing their teeth in the dark.”

"At that time, she lived in the Mingyue Palace, which was the only palace with a royal pond. The emperor dug a 'scenery pond' behind this palace. Every moonlit night, the surface of the pond was like a mirror, filled with waves and jade. It was A view for the Queen alone.”

Yes, this queen ascended to the throne of God with the current saint. She has the real power along the way, and she should also have her own control over the temple... Pei Ye suddenly remembered what she felt when she first entered Xu Xiangshulou. Shi Xuchuo told him that Yuan Zhao was promoted by Xu Ji, and he couldn't help but wonder why Xu Ji got the position.

Now it seems there is an answer.

But how could such a queen suddenly fall so quickly, leaving no trace behind?

"But she only stayed in this position for four years." Li Xizhou said.

"On a spring night in the fourth year of Lock Lin, Wei Qingju, who had just given birth, suffered an unexpected assassination in the dormitory of Mingyue Palace. The assassin's sword came out of nowhere and cut into her heart. Afterwards, the assassin escaped. , which triggered the two government bans Army, and in the rainy night in front of everyone... the blood on the murder weapon ignited a blazing golden fire, "Li Xizhou said, "This is the 'Lin Blood' that turbulent the entire Shenjing and even the Tang Dynasty twenty-three years ago. The outbreak of the Queen's Scourge."

The pavilion was quiet for a while, with only the passing morning breeze.

"That kind of fire is called 'Qilin Fire'. Only the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can inherit this bloodline."

"..."

"Six hundred years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty." Li Xizhou looked at him from a distance, "The true blood of Qilin is growing. The Qilin blood of the five surnames is not passed down from generation to generation, neither increasing nor decreasing. Only the blood of Emperor Li Zhilin blends with the blood. If you are born as Lin'er, you will become Zhengshuo when you ascend the throne. In this world, there is only one Zhengshuo with five assistants and six meridians. This is the unshakable cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty and its strongest bone."

"Tell me, can it change?"

Of course not.

Pei Ye stood behind His Highness. Even though he had only been in Shenjing for three months, he knew that this must be the deepest and most untouchable evil in the Tang Dynasty.

You can reform the imperial examination system, you can raise the old army, you can recruit Jianghu, you can fight for politics, you can seize power, and you can even really re-discuss heaven and earth.

But you must not...touch my Linxue.

The change of Tianlu only affects the course of the Tang Dynasty; the loosening of Linxue changes the person at the helm.

If everyone can possess the blood of Qilin, then what is the uniqueness of the five surnames, and what is the legitimacy of the Li family's throne?

"Yes, so once this huge disaster was revealed, it could not be annihilated. Shenjing was in turmoil, and the five surnames were almost extreme in panic. They got up and entered the capital one after another. The courtiers and generals who were close to the Wei Dynasty suffered the most cruel treatment overnight. Cleaned up. Wei Qingju stole Lin's blood and punished her with the title of Demon Queen. She was removed from the throne and died in her own Mingyue Palace a month later."

It turns out that the queen did not die in that assassination, Pei Ye thought.

"This is the reason why this case has been pending to this day." Li Xizhou said, "In the real turmoil of that year, it is too difficult to trace how the assassination was launched on that spring night. In other words, after that, the truth itself has not been What’s the point? It’s an old disaster that no one wants to mention.”

Pei Ye was silent.

"Except for me." Li Xizhou turned around.

She stood on the two steps and looked down at the young man below the stage: "Even though twenty-three years have passed, I still want to know everything about that spring night. It is for this wish that I transferred you to the palace this time."

She looked at the young man seriously, and Pei Ye indeed felt a cold majesty from these eyes that he had never seen in Xu Chuo. He remembered the etiquette he had learned, lowered his head and clasped his fists:

"I will never give up my humble duties."

Li Xizhou raised his hand and handed an old case file in front of him, with the seal of Xianrentai Jiuyuan hanging on the seal.

"Then I'll leave this to you, Pei Yanjian." The woman looked at him, "I think it's just right."

Pei Ye took it and it was thinner than he expected. It was indeed a file that was more than 20 years old. The shape was quite different from the current Xianrentai case file. Pei Ye stroked it lightly... there was a strand of hair dyed on the edge of the page. The black mark is the blood that has been deposited for a long time.

"This is the last case file Yue Muzhou wrote for Xianrentai. After that, he resigned from the position of He Inspector and left with his seal."

Pei Ye suddenly raised his head.

"The queen was weak at that time, so even in the deep palace city, she never neglected to guard her." Li Xizhou said, "On that rainy spring night, it was Yue Mu who was sitting in front of the steps of the Mingyue Palace holding a sword and guarding her. Boat."
