Everyone's spiritual energy cultivation seems to be improving slowly, but in fact it has been extremely rapid. You must know that practicing qi is a slow skill. A person with average qualifications who practices qi, if the mental method of practicing qi is not very mysterious, from the light red cave god to the deep blue cave

It takes at least thirty years of unremitting practice, so most of the people practicing Qi in the common dark blue holes are forty years old.

The promotion of the Deep Blue Hole to the mountain lilac is no longer something that can be overcome by hard work. It depends more on whether the talent is extraordinary or whether the Qi training method is mysterious. Therefore, more than 90% of the Deep Blue Hole will spend their whole life.

Nor can he be promoted to live in Mountain Lavender.

The reason why everyone's spiritual energy cultivation can improve so quickly is not only because of the mysterious method of practicing spiritual energy, but also because of the blessing of energy-replenishing spiritual objects. To put it bluntly, it also benefits from the blessing and assistance of money.

When he was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Yushitai, he offended many people. Therefore, after leaving office, there were few visitors to the palace. Only the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Dali Temple Yang Shuyun and others came to visit a few times.

Everyone knows the principle of people leaving for tea. It is not surprising that there are so few visitors. Not only do I not feel lost, but I feel more at ease. The most feared thing of emperors in the past dynasties is forming cliques. Although they have been in official positions, they have not been widely connected.

, forming cliques for personal gain.

It is not wrong to say that he has never been selfish at all. When Mr. Shi came to visit, he mentioned Su Pingcuo, the governor of Suzhou. He did not ask Mr. Shi to secretly support this person, but asked Mr. Shi to give him a little protection. If there is no serious fault,

Don't transfer him easily. The reason why he mentioned this person is because his senior brother Batulu is currently settling in Suzhou with this person. If Su Pingcuo is convicted and resigns, Batulu will also be affected.

Another half month later, a mysterious visitor came to the palace. According to the concierge, the person who asked for an audience only said that his surname was Zhou, and that as long as he said his surname, he would definitely come forward to receive him.

I didn't know many people with the surname Zhou, so when the concierge said this person's surname, I immediately guessed that the person coming was Eunuch Zhou from the palace.

When we went out to see each other, it turned out to be Eunuch Zhou. It was sunset. Eunuch Zhou was wrapped up tightly to resist the cold. This was only one of the reasons. The main reason was to hide his whereabouts and deceive others.

Eunuch Zhou was one of his own. When he saw him arriving, he immediately invited him into the inner house. After sitting down, Eunuch Zhou thanked him again for his kindness in gifting the house, and then got straight to the point.

Eunuch Zhou is the person close to the emperor, so he accompanies the king every day and naturally knows everything. After entering the twelfth lunar month, there are many more articles about impeachment, and most of the people who publish the articles are Qing gossip officials. Regarding these articles about the impeachment, the emperor

In the past, whenever he saw it, he would throw it aside without even reading it. But recently, when encountering this kind of excerpt, the emperor would read it, and even ponder it after reading it.

First and second, recently the emperor no longer stays up all night to deal with government affairs. He will go to the harem after sunset, and sometimes even in the afternoon.

In the past, important government affairs were handled personally, but at this time, most of them were handed over to the Ministry of Menxia and the Ministry of Zhongshu.

After listening to what Eunuch Zhou said, he frowned and pondered, and was silent for a long time. The emperor had not even read the excerpts about participating in his own performance before, but now he would read them. This shows that the emperor's attitude towards him has undergone subtle changes.

As the saying goes, three people make a tiger. If you have seen too many slanderous words, the emperor's impression of him will be affected by those officials.

Furthermore, in recent times, the emperor has been going to the harem more and more often, and his stay has been getting longer and longer. It cannot be ruled out that the court has temporarily overcome the current difficulties, and the emperor has relaxed a bit. However, the most likely possibility is that the emperor has appeared in the harem.

The obsessed concubine.

On that day, Sasaki once said that there was someone of theirs in the harem. Although this person did not have spiritual energy cultivation, he was proficient in the art of bedclothes. The emperor's blood was strong, and the other party could easily gain the emperor's favor because of his calculations but not his intentions.

"Your Majesty, this old slave belongs to the palace and cannot be out for too long, so he is leaving now." Eunuch Zhou stood up and said goodbye.

"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhou," he said with cupped hands, then turned to ask, "Eunuch Zhou, may I ask which concubine the emperor has favored more in recent times?"

"Concubine Li," Eunuch Zhou said in a low voice, "Concubine Li's surname is Tao and her name is Xiuli. She is a beautiful lady who just entered the palace this year. She was originally a ninth-grade concubine. She was favored by the emperor. She was promoted successively in a few months. At the beginning of this month, she was unexpectedly

I am happy to be pregnant with the dragon species. The Emperor is delighted with the dragon's appearance, and has been granted the title of Concubine of the Second Grade."

Hearing Eunuch Zhou's words, my heart suddenly trembled, "Is this person already pregnant?"

Eunuch Zhou nodded, then bowed his hands and saluted before turning around to go ahead.

Following each other to see him off, Eunuch Zhou was frightened and waved his hands frequently, "Please stay."

Seeing this, he had to stop in front of the corridor and watch Eunuch Zhou bow his head and leave.

At this time, it was snowing lightly in the sky, and he was standing in the courtyard in a daze. This Tao Xiuli was most likely the spy Sasaki mentioned. His judgment was not without basis. First of all, this person was promoted too quickly. In just a few months, he became the spy.

Being named a concubine, people often use "three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines" to describe the emperor's group of wives and concubines. In fact, there are not that many concubines in the harem, because the concubines are the second-rank concubines, and above them are the first-rank concubines and the first-rank imperial concubines.

The number of concubines usually does not exceed four. The imperial concubine is equivalent to the deputy queen, and there has always been only one. The number of concubines is not large, with a maximum of no more than twelve.

In addition, this person's name is also one of the reasons for his suspicion. The emperor's surname is Li, and this person's surname is Tao. There has always been a saying in China that peaches and plums are all over the world. The emperor can easily associate this person with peaches and plums all over the world.

, both festive and auspicious, but in fact this person is probably not named Tao, let alone Tao Xiuli.

Furthermore, the women who entered the palace were all racking their brains to get the emperor's favor. In order to attract the emperor's attention, every woman would do whatever they could, but this man was actually able to fight his way through many opponents.

He must have his own extraordinary skills. If nothing else, he is very powerful in some aspects as Sasaki said.

After standing for a long time, he sighed and turned around, returning worriedly. Not to mention that he was just guessing and inferring without any real evidence. Even if he had, there was nothing he could do to stop the change, because this person was already pregnant with a dragon. The emperor had too many women, maybe

I don't care about any of them, but it's a different matter when I'm pregnant. This woman is no longer an outsider, but the mother of her own child.

At this time, Miss Bai already weighed one hundred kilograms and had a wingspan of nearly two feet. There was no room for her in the house, so she had to temporarily build an eagle house in the back garden. Her food intake was also increasing. In order to train her to hunt on her own, the big head

So they fed them with live animals, causing chickens to fly and dogs to jump around in the back garden, and pigs to run around and sheep to bark.

A few days later, the emperor received another reward. Since the new year was approaching, the reward this time was extremely rich. There were two large carts, all of which were tributes from various places, including food and clothing. ??

Among the many rewards are two huge red lanterns, each with five dragons embroidered on them.

While Datou and others were instructing the servants to carry the rewards, Datou stood at the door without saying a word. Seeing his gloomy expression, Datou asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

At first, the big head and others were not used to the change of address, but as time went by, they gradually got used to it, because the prince's status was much more noble than that of the officials, and calling him "sir" all the time was equivalent to belittling him.

"Let them move, you follow me." Turn around and go ahead.

Hearing the words, Datou became more and more confused and hurriedly called Yang Kai and Shi Xuanming to follow him to the main hall. He also called Yu Yi out when passing by her residence.

When the four of them entered the main hall, they had already sat down at the main seat in the north, with gloomy faces and gloomy expressions.

When the four of them saw this, they looked at each other in confusion, then took their seats and turned to look, waiting for him to speak.

"Take some time to clean up. Let's leave Chang'an tomorrow." He said in a deep voice.

"So urgent?" Datou was stunned.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yu Yi was also surprised.

"I've been staying in Chang'an for a long time, and it's time to leave." He said casually.

"There are only a few days until the New Year's Eve. Let's leave after the New Year." Datou discussed.

"I'll leave tomorrow." His face was expressionless.

He rarely shows such a serious expression. Seeing that he has made up his mind,

Datou nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll go back and clean up right away."

Several people were all confused, but no one dared to ask questions. In the end, it was Yang Kai who took the lead and asked, "Did the Japanese take the lead?"

He shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty has issued an order to expel guests."

Hearing the words, the four of them were shocked and stunned, looking at each other.

"When?" Yang Kai asked.

"Just now," he raised his hand and pointed south, "did you see those two embroidered dragon lanterns?"

The tone of the previous conversation with Datou was a bit serious, so Datou did not dare to speak casually. In the end, Yang Kai answered, "I saw it, what's the matter?"

"When were lanterns used?" asked rhetorically.

"Shangyuan Festival," Yang Kai said, suddenly enlightened, "I understand."

Not only Yang Kai understood, Datou and others also realized that it was not yet the end of the year, but the emperor had already rewarded the lanterns used for the Lantern Festival. On the surface, it was a reward in advance, but in fact it was a hint of the Lantern Festival.

At that time, everyone was still in Chang'an, and there was indeed a disguised urge.

After saying this, everyone went back to tidy up and spent the night writing notes of thanks and farewell.

The note was written that night, but no one was sent to submit it. It was not sent for submission until the afternoon of the next day, when everyone was leaving.

It was snowing lightly in the sky, which was not suitable for a long journey, but he did not delay it. He felt uncomfortable with the emperor's disguised order to expel guests. Leaving in the snow was actually telling the emperor that he understood what the emperor meant. To say that this move was

It is not a big deal to embarrass the Emperor, but leaving immediately after seeing the lantern does not mean to save the Emperor's face.

He got on his horse from the gate of the palace, shook the reins and went ahead.

As soon as Yang Kaiyu released Xuanming, he rode his horse and raised his whip, following closely behind.

Miss Bai carried the big head and flapped her wings, chirping and lifted into the air.

The five people did not hide their whereabouts. They left the city from the south gate and headed south quickly under the astonished gaze of the people on the street.

He was in a bad mood and never said a word. Datou and others wanted to comfort him, but they couldn't find a chance to speak.

Half an hour later, everyone was more than two hundred miles away from Chang'an.

Just as he was reining in his horse and looking back, a proud laugh suddenly came from the top of the mountain in the south, "Hahahaha, you have made all kinds of preparations these days, do you really think you can show off your skills without Chang'an?"

"Situ Honglie?!" Datou exclaimed in surprise.
