Chapter 367: Enlightenment together
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Xuannv Temple.
Li Longji looked at Yang Yuhuan with a eager eyes and asked, "How can we comprehend the great way with sincerity?"
Yang Yuhuan answered seriously: "It's all in my heart."
"It's all in my heart?"
Li Longji stared at Yang Yuhuan's beautiful face, as if inspired and fell into a state of contemplation.
Yang Yuhuan felt Li Longji's hot eyes, his expression calmly and stood with a smile.
The two of them had their own ulterior motives and hoped to temporarily stabilize the other party with no nutritional scenes. In fact, the purpose was very simple... Li Longji was to avoid being swept out by Yang Yuhuan, while Yang Yuhuan hoped not to reveal her shortcomings of being unable to show miracles. Thinking that Yang Yun was not by her side, she felt unsure and just pretended to be deep in front of Li Longji.
After a long time, Li Longji broke his silence: "Then the immortal, can I... understand the Tao with you...?"
Yang Yuhuan glanced at Li Longji. She didn't quite understand what Li Longji meant by "understanding together". She turned around and walked into the hall, leaving a sentence with a faint expression: "You are willing to stay, please do whatever you want."
After saying that, he returned to the apse room to rest by himself, leaving Li Longji alone.
Li Longji walked into the Goddess Hall and wanted to break directly to the place where Yang Yuhuan rested behind the hall, but he was afraid of offending Xuannv, so he stayed in the hall and knelt down and "comprehensively" the Taoist Dharma in front of Xuannv statue.
...
...
Li Longji studied under the influence all night and never saw Yang Yuhuan again.
Until the morning, he couldn't help but be hungry and sleepy, and got up and came to the outside of the Taoist temple. Gao Lishi was even more miserable than him and blew the cold wind outside for a night.
"Your Majesty, you...?"
Gao Lishi thought that what he was most worried about had happened, and Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan had accomplished good things.
Seeing Li Longji's tired look, like a ghost who had come out of a concubine's bedroom in the middle of the night, Gao Lishi thought the road was already done.
Gao Lishi was secretly sad, but he heard Li Longji say, "I want to rest when I return to the bedroom. I will come here to understand the Tao later. You must use your original intention."
Gao Lishi was very puzzled by what Li Longji said... What's wrong with the emperor?
It looks a bit illegible!
If you look closely at Li Longji's outfit, he looks a little messy, and he seems to have never untied his clothes, let alone achieve good things.
Gao Lishi wondered: "Did Your Majesty really practiced Taoism all night and nothing happened?"
Gao Lishi had no flaw in his clone? He looked back at Guanzan reluctantly, and then followed Li Longji. He could only hope that after the emperor rested, he would find an opportunity to come and ask the female official in Xuannv Temple.
But after this night, Gao Lishi was also very tired and sent Li Longji to the bedroom to sleep. His eyelids could no longer be opened? His head was dizzy. He was panting even after a step of movement, so he had to find a place to deal with it.
When Gao Lishi woke up here, it was already two minutes later. He asked the eunuch to come and ask, and then he found that Li Longji had woken up at noon and ran to Xuannv Temple again to understand the Taoist Dharma. He could only rush to Xuannv Temple without stopping, and found that he had already entered the Taoist temple by one step late.
It is impossible for Li Longji to come out halfway? Just as Gao Lishi was upset and wondered whether to stay outside, his confidant eunuch ran over and reported to him the confidential information he had just collected.
"Duke Gao? I heard that General Zhang sent people to rescue two Hu generals from the death row? It took thousands of guan just to manage the relationship. Who knew that on the way to the north, someone was killed..."
When reporting, the little eunuch's face was full of fear.
Gao Lishi was a little surprised: "The people from Youzhou Jiedushi dare to openly deceive the emperor and rob people in Luoyang City? Why are they intercepted and killed halfway after being rescued? Could it be the smoke they emitted by themselves?"
Gao Lishi felt that since Zhang Shougui dared to rescue people, the arrangements on the road must be carefully arranged so that there would never be any accidents in the middle of the story. It was hard for him to believe that someone would commit crimes against the governor of the town for the so-called justice.
"Return to Mr. Gao, I don't know anything now." The eunuch couldn't find out more detailed information.
"Where is the Chief of Youzhou who came to give gifts?"
Gao Lishi thought of Zhang Zhong who had given him a generous gift before.
The little eunuch shook his head and said, "I should go back to Youzhou."
Gao Lishi was anxious, afraid that Li Longji would find out about Zhang Shougui's bribery, so he thought that he secretly helped Zhang Shougui and let go of death row prisoners who could affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
He secretly complained in his heart: "Why did I get obsessed with the ghost at that time and went to the emperor for the person surnamed Zhang? Now something happened. Once your Majesty learned the inside story, he would have to suspect that I had ulterior motives! Is it true that the existence of these people would affect the fate of the Tang Dynasty as Xuannv foresaw that day?"
"Let's go with me to meet the people from the Ministry of War."
Gao Lishi knew that Li Longji had entered the Xuannv Temple and might have to wait for the next morning to appear again, so he could have waited until the ugly night tomorrow.
The emperor did not say that he had to be with him. The worst case here was that Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan did a good job, but that was something that happened in the Taoist temple, and he had no ability to stop it.
Then Gao Lishi took the little eunuch away from Xuannv Temple and headed straight out of the palace.
...
...
The situation in the capital suddenly became subtle.
The crown prince fell, Wu Huifei died, the position of the crown prince was suspended, the emperor was obsessed with Taoist affairs, Zhang Jiuling's prestige in the court did not rise but instead surrendered, and Li Linfu took the opportunity to win people's hearts and prepare to take office.
At this time, everyone was trying their best to get a high position. Gao Lishi, who was almost the second-ranked figure in the court, was also worried about the rapid rise of the Yang family. However, after Yang Yun left Luoyang, he began to focus on dealing with other political enemies.
For Gao Lishi, it is unwise to directly confront Yang Yun and Yang Yuhuan.
This is when the emperor trusts the Yang brothers the most. If one or two words are not appropriate, the emperor will be furious. Before no one proves that Yang Yuhuan’s identity as a fake, the status of the Yang brothers the status cannot be shaken.
Gao Lishi had experienced many storms of palace struggles and knew that as a slave, he could not fight with his master. Before, Wu Huifei was powerful, and Gao Lishi basically did not fight directly with him, so this is the case.
Because Wu Huifei is half of his "master".
Yang Yuhuan's situation is basically the same as before. Yang Yuhuan is a legitimate concubine of the Tang Dynasty. Once Yang Yuhuan confirms this position, Gao Lishi feels that he has lost the ability to compete. If he is not a righteous person, he will not be as good as he is not a good person. It is better to get rid of those in the court who are in trouble first.
Just as he was carrying out intriguing political transactions and struggles in the capital, and even a great purge, Yang Yun took a group of little loli to stay away from the center of the court and enjoyed the ease of the holiday with peace of mind.
This time he came out, his goal was to go north and cross the Yellow River to Hedong Road.
Zezhou in Hedong is the birthplace of Chinese culture. The Gaodu ruins, Tashuihe, Xiachuan and other sites were left behind 20,000 years ago. They are the birthplace of myths such as Nuwa repairing the sky, Yugong moved mountains, Yu chiseled stone gates, Shang Tang and other myths. They are also the world-famous "Iron Capital". They began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties and were prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the development of thousands of years, Japan's fine moons and moons were advanced. The "Yanga Ancient Sword" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was produced in Zezhou.
The Zezhou area had abundant coal and iron reserves, but until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, only a few iron ore were mined, and coal was not the mainstream fuel. The coal in Zezhou was of good quality, accounting for more than a quarter of China's anthracite reserves. Zezhou's coal was crystal clear and bright, and it was neither sticky nor coated when touched, and it was smokeless and odorless when burned. It was a good product for industrial use. Later generations were selected by the British royal family as a fireplace special coal. It can not only replace coke and be used directly for metallurgy, but also an ideal chemical raw material.
Yang Yun explored the terrain and landforms all the way. When he encountered delicious and fun cities along the way, he would let a few little loli get off the carriage and enjoy it, and his life was extremely comfortable.
The carriage is not moving fast, so it will not make the little loli too tired. Moreover, these little loli have superpowers and their physical fitness is much better than ordinary girls. After more than ten days, they are full of energy and do not look tired at all.
Along the way, people from the Mi family contacted Yang Yun.
At first, it was only the person sent by the Mi family to help contact him. Later, Mi Ying also set out from Luoyang and brought people to chase Yang Yun and took care of him along the way.
Mijia now changes its industrial focus from licensed goods to production and sales.
From a big businessman to a businessman.
They knew that they had to support the political power in the court, and the Yang family now had a very high status. Although they were just a vain national teacher at present, they could speak well on Li Longji's side. In addition, Yang Yun's identity as a censor was not deprived, which means that Yang Yun is now both a court official and the emperor's most trusted consultant, and a leader of the Taoist sect in the world, with an extremely respectable status.
By early June, the weather became hot, and Yang Yun had completed the exploration of several iron ore and coal mines, preparing to find someone to buy land and then organize mining.
In order not to attract the attention of local officials, everything must be carried out in secret.
At this time, he learned that Zhang Jiuling was impeached one after another in the court, mainly because Zhang Jiuling failed to handle party disputes in the court, favored and protected officials of the faction, cracked down on dissidents, and attracted criticism from competitors. However, because he was not in Luoyang City, he could not verify the rumors, so he had to wait until he returned to Luoyang before inquiring about them.
At this time, Gao Lishi also sent someone to inform him to return to Luoyang earlier. The emperor was about to return to Chang'an and wanted to take him, the national teacher, with him. Yang Yun had no choice but to calm down for the time being and rushed back.
...
...
In the eastern capital Luoyang, Li Linfu is also paying attention to Yang Yun's movements.
When he learned that Yang Yun crossed the Yellow River, crossed Yuntai Mountain, and left Henan Prefecture to Zezhou, he finally felt relieved and focused on joining the team impeaching Zhang Jiuling, secretly joined forces with Niu Xianke, Han Xiu, Li Shizhi and others, and stumbling to Zhang Jiuling from different directions.
Zhang Jiuling's biggest problem is that his party thinking is too serious and he dislikes all kinds of officials who rely on the shade of officials and officials.
As Li Shizhi, great-grandson of Li Shimin and a member of the Tang Dynasty, he also served as an official with the status of a royal relative, and was naturally in opposition to Zhang Jiuling.
In order to get to power in the morning, Li Shizhi and Li Linfu joined forces to deal with Zhang Jiuling, and gave Zhang Jiuling a strong medicine among the royal relatives and nobles, openly claiming that Zhang Jiuling is not suitable to be the left prime minister.
At this time, rumors about Zhang Jiuling's character were also spreading wildly in Chang'an and Luoyang. Many people even believed that Zhang Jiuling was responsible for the failure of Zhang Shougui's troops.
Although Zhang Jiuling was not a pro-war faction, it was rumored that it was because Zhang Jiuling firmly opposed the war and repeatedly obstructed Zhang Shougui's troops, and the supply of food and supplies was seriously insufficient, which led to the subsequent defeat.
Originally, Li Longji could still understand the situation in the court, but recently he was in a bad state and threw the affairs of the court aside.
Furthermore, Li Longji has frequently changed prime ministers in recent years. After Gao Lishi's instigation, he also believed that although Zhang Jiuling was very capable, he could not be impartial in handling interpersonal relationships, so he also had the idea of changing prime ministers.
So Li Longji wrote a letter and asked Gao Lishi to send it to Zhang Jiuling's mansion to ask how Niu Xianke, who is now the right prime minister, knows about politics?
It's like the emperor asking his ministers to let others take your place, what do you think?
Zhang Jiuling has always looked down on officials like Niu Xianke. He ignored the hidden information behind this matter and directly submitted a letter to Li Longji, stating Niu Xianke's various shortcomings, and suggested that Niu Xianke should not only not be promoted, but also be demoted, so that all the civil and military officials in the court could convince the people and military officials.
What's even more terrible is that some people in the court who were in love with Zhang Jiuling jointly submitted a memorial after Zhang Jiuling made a memorial.
It seems that he cooperated with Zhang Jiuling and wanted to completely defeat Niu Xianke, but he didn't know that he had committed a taboo.
