After returning from Qianqing Palace, Imperial Concubine Li ordered people to investigate Daoist Master Qingfeng and Qingchenzi.
On the other side, Feng Sheng didn't miss the opportunity, and ordered Zuo Yi to create momentum for King Hui outside.
Naturally, it is a good trend. It is said that King Hui's favor is not fading, and in time he will return to the position of prince. Adding fuel to the fire in Prince Wei's mansion, and on the day of the winter solstice, Emperor Jianping really took King Hui with him and asked him to stand one step back on the right behind him.
This is the position where the prince can stand.
It made this momentum intensify, and it seemed to make this cold winter a little more angry.
At the same time, why King Hui was able to regain the favor of God has been discussed in private.
A few of those who were able to hang out in court were fools, and King Hui's actions often fell into the eyes of those veteran officials.
It is also mysterious to say that after the prince was abolished, in order to force Emperor Jianping to establish a crown prince, there were not a few ministers who brought up the restoration of the prince. At that time, King Hui felt that he was favored by everyone, and the courtiers were optimistic about him, but he had no favor.
Now that he has the favor, but his actions are criticized by the courtiers, but at this time he doesn't care, because the previous experience told him that the Sacred Heart is everything.
He didn't know that many things complement each other.
As long as there is a sacred heart, the hearts of the people cannot be lacking.
King Hui is in the middle of the game and can't see through, but if he can't see through, it doesn't mean that others can't see through either. It's obvious that someone is cheating on King Hui secretly, and King Wu and Zhao Wang will naturally not miss this opportunity.
Under the "favored by all", the title of King Hui's favor was confirmed, as if he was the first among the princes, but at the same time, the word "Ning" was also attached to him.
In comparison, Wei Wangfu is obviously much bleak.
At the end of the new year, it is a time when all the houses are busy, good friends give New Year gifts to each other, and the disciples below come to give filial piety, not to mention all parties fawning over officials.
The end of the year was the time for officials to return to Beijing to report on their duties, and it was the best time to send charcoal and ice to pay their respects. In previous years, the Wei Palace was full of fire and cooking oil, but this year it was strange, and the family was very cold.
The servants in the mansion were not used to it, and even Dequan, who had always been prudent, seemed hesitant to speak when he saw Feng Sheng several times in a row.
Feng Sheng knew what he wanted to say, but pretended not to know, and only told him to let the people below guard the door and behave in a low-key manner.
I don't know when, there are rumors circulating in private, saying that the King of Wei has fallen out of favor.
Isn't it falling out of favor, so that Emperor Jianping didn't even mention a word
As for the situation in Shanxi, other disaster-prone places are discussed every day in court, but no one mentions it in Shanxi, so it seems that there is no such thing.
Even the Ministry of Household Affairs managed to get a batch of relief food, but was quarreled by the ministers in the court hall, and the cabinet was discussed and divided up by various places. It happened several times, and there was nothing wrong with Shanxi.
Maybe it really fell out of favor, but who cares.
It's like Qingfeng Taoist priest of Jingshengzhai, no one cares now.
Ever since Qingchenzi entered the palace, Taoist Master Qingfeng was completely forgotten by Emperor Jianping. The usually smoky Jingshengzhai was smoked by Taoist Master Qingfeng and even his pretentious dislike. Now this kind of fireworks is really missing. Only after getting angry, did I realize that it was better to be smoky.
Daoist Qingfeng also pretended to beg to go, but Emperor Jianping turned a deaf ear to him.
Helpless, he could only hold back his energy and start the alchemy furnace, only hoping that the alchemy he made would be better than Qing Chenzi's. It's a pity that his skills are not as good as others, but he also offered the elixir to Emperor Jianping. Emperor Jianping ordered people to accept it, but he didn't take it, but put it on the shelf.
It was Qingchenzi who told Daoist Qingfeng about this, and deliberately showed off in front of him to ridicule him.
Since then, the charcoal sent to Jingshengzhai has become less and less, and there is not even enough to start the furnace. Qingfeng Daoist can only stay in Jingshengzhai without moving a step, wishing to get tired of doing it and defeat that despicable villain Qingchenzi .
Until he saw the noble person who came to enlighten him.
Today, Daoist Qingfeng specially ordered the Daoist beside him to help him clean up.
The original greasy bun was broken up and cleaned, and turned into a single bun again. Wearing a pure yang scarf and a Tai Chi Taoist robe, he looked like a fairy.
Most of the Taoist priests have good looks, white hair and childlike face, flushed face, and they don't see the previous decadent and depressed appearance.
Emperor Jianping was reviewing the memorials in Dongnuange, and when he heard that Taoist Master Qingfeng asked to see him, his long eyebrows unconsciously frowned.
Seeing this, Fu Lu secretly sighed in his heart, he shouldn't be soft-hearted and help Taoist Qingfeng to pass on the pass.
It's just that he couldn't figure out what Emperor Jianping was thinking, and seeing that Taoist Master Qingfeng begged His Majesty to refuse, he thought that His Majesty deliberately kept Qingfeng for other purposes, who knew that he seemed to have misjudged the sacred intention
But it's too late to regret it now, so I can only bite the bullet and let it go.
"Come on, call him in."
Fu Lu was taken aback for a moment, and before he had time to think about it, he hurried out.
Not long after, Taoist Master Qingfeng was ushered in.
"Your Majesty." Taoist Master Qingfeng stood still and saluted.
"What's the matter, Daoist?"
It's not the first time that Taoist Master Qingfeng has dealt with Emperor Jianping, and he has a fairly good understanding of the emperor's disposition.
Others said that His Majesty doted on him, but he didn't feel that way at all. Many times when he met Emperor Jianping, he was the one who insisted on boasting, and His Majesty's attitude was dark and inexplicable.
Later, seeing that His Majesty favored Qingchenzi, he only thought that his skills were inferior to others, so Qingchenzi was not as favored as Qingchenzi. But every time he saw His Majesty, he deeply doubted, is such an emperor really a person who believes in the art of longevity
It's just that Taoist priests like them, if they only enjoy incense in the countryside, it doesn't matter, but if they want to flatter the king, the only means available is longevity.
Even if you know that this is a lie, you can only bite the bullet and hypnotize yourself first, and then speak boldly to be fooled day by day.
After all, if you really don't get fooled, you may not be able to survive even a day.
After thinking about it this way, Taoist Master Qingfeng gained some confidence again, and interpreted the words that the nobleman had passed on to Emperor Jianping in his own words.
Maybe it's because he's used to being deceived by people, only seeing Taoist Master Qingfeng's boasting, he really can't see that he is talking nonsense.
At least Fu Lu really admired him.
Does this Taoist Master Qingfeng not want to live anymore
"According to what the Taoist priest said, there is really a Penglai fairy island in the East China Sea, and there is an immortal medicine on the island?"
Daoist Qingfeng stroked his long beard, and in order to emphasize his affirmation, he straightened his waist and said: "It is said that there are no waves without wind, and there must be reasons for things to happen. As the king of a country, His Majesty must know the ancient and modern collections. There are not a few books about Penglai. If you say that your own words are still false, so many people have mentioned this matter. Is it true? It can only be said that people with great luck and good luck can see Penglai Xianshan.
"Let the poor Taoist say that His Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, respected by all people, that is, the person who has great opportunities and great luck. There is no chance that others will not be able to meet him, and His Majesty will definitely meet him. Pindao was originally a Taoist in the mountains. The world, because he was rewarded by His Majesty, he was able to enter the palace to serve, but he failed to make meritorious service for His Majesty, and he felt so ashamed. Now there are fellow Taoists in the palace who are helping His Majesty to solve problems, so I have to think about it, in order not to be in vain. For His Majesty's favor, Pindao decided to go to sea to search for the Penglai Fairy Mountain for His Majesty, and only hope that one day he can find the elixir and come back, so that my emperor will live forever."
With that said, Taoist Master Qingfeng bowed down.
He boasted that he came from a Taoist school. A Taoist priest is an outsider who is free from the five elements and is not bound by the dogmas of the world. This obeisance at this time seems to be sincerely ashamed of not being able to serve Emperor Jianping, and intends to find another way to regain favor.
In fact, thinking about it, Qingchenzi is now in full swing in the palace. Although Emperor Jianping behaves in a low-key manner, anyone with eyes knows how much Qingchenzi is favored by His Majesty now.
The favor was taken away, no wonder Taoist Master Qingfeng jumped the wall and came up with such an idea, wanting to regain the favor.
This was Fulu's idea, but Emperor Jianping was sitting behind the dragon table, looking at Daoist Qingfeng prostrated on the gold brick ground with dim eyes inexplicably.
After a while, a deep voice came from above.
"You are faithful."
"Although Pindao is an outsider, there is no king in the world, and the king's subjects on the coast of the land. Pindao also wants to do his best for His Majesty."
"Going to sea? Looking for Penglai Xiandao?"
Obviously he was just muttering to himself in a low voice, but a series of beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of Taoist Master Qingfeng. Fortunately, he was lying on the ground, so people couldn't see what happened.
The gold-plated three-legged and double-eared nine-dragon incense burner emits fragrance quietly, and the earth dragon in Dongnuange burns extraordinarily warmly, making people feel warm and harmonious.
a long time-
"Well, since the Taoist priest has the heart, I will agree."
Daoist Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En! Pindao will definitely do his best to find the fairy island and the immortal medicine for His Majesty."
After Taoist Qingfeng left, Fu Lu was full of confusion, looking at Emperor Jianping hesitant to speak.
"What? Have something to say?"
"Your Majesty, this, this..." Fu Lu smiled dryly, hesitating.
Say? say what? The emperor's heart is like the sea, even if Fulu has been with Emperor Jianping for decades, and has been serving him since he was the prince, he dare not say that he can understand the emperor's heart, who knows if saying this will violate the taboo
Your Majesty is indeed wise and martial, but the first emperor is also wise and martial. No one in the past who can become emperor is wise and martial, but there are not a few people who believe in the art of longevity in their later years.
So, what to say
"When did you hesitate so much when speaking in front of me?"
But to put it lightly, Fu Lu suddenly broke out in a lot of cold sweat on his forehead and back, and his waist bent down heavily.
"The old slave just thinks that this Qingfeng Daoist is a little..."
If it is said that in the early days, the navigation technology was not developed enough, but there was Zheng He in the previous dynasty who traveled to the West and brought many rare gadgets to the former dynasty. One per person, but it is no longer rare.
Those barbarians traveled across the ocean to bring things from their own country to pay tribute to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If there really was a Penglai fairy island, those barbarians and pirates would have discovered it long ago, and it would be Qingfeng's turn.
I don't know why His Majesty would believe this? !
Fulu's face was full of lawsuits, how could Emperor Jianping not know what he was thinking.
He chuckled with an unclear attitude: "Since he wants to go to sea, let him go to sea."
After hearing this, Fu Lu suddenly realized.
really. Since he wants to go to sea, let's go to sea. This may be difficult for others, but for the king of a country, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
So, what is he struggling with.
"Let's see what he wants to do."
This whisper, as light as floating dust, made Fu Lu immediately return all three souls and seven souls, and suddenly realized that things seemed not simple.
"Go to Sun Mingye and ask what's going on in Shanxi?"
