At dusk, it rained lightly on Tianjie.
A team of twenty fast horses galloped across the slippery Qingshi Street, the water was not stained. The leader was a young lieutenant who led the crowd to the martial law city gate, where a line of soldiers was on duty.
"Open the door!"
The captain waved the token, the soldiers didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly opened the city gate to see the twenty riders leaving in the rain.
Now the wars in various places have basically subsided, and the order has been greatly restored. What's more, the capital is an important place and has not been affected. Along the way, they saw a large number of farms and fields, with smoke rising from the kitchen, and a scene of peace.
"Hoo!"
After traveling for tens of miles, the captain reined in his mount in front of a manor, turned around and said, "Everyone, the Bieyuan is here, and the master is inside."
"Thank you, little general!"
The nineteen people bowed their hands in unison, quite saving face.
There were already people waiting in the Bieyuan, leading everyone in. Gu Yu looked around and saw that the style was very simple, not like a place for leisure and play, but like an office outside the city.
The words show that the war between Yu and the national teacher has only been fought for more than two months. With the help of the generals and the masters, the national teacher was outnumbered and defeated for thousands of miles. In the end, he was even besieged by several masters and captured alive.
Now that the war is over, those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. The nineteen of them are the most outstanding group, and they were ordered to enter Beijing five days ago.
"Everyone, please wait here..."
Everyone came to a spacious hall, which was probably used for entertaining guests, so it was a little more elegant. There were big chairs on the left and right, a screen in front of it, and a small door behind the screen, leading to the inner room.
"jingle!"
After waiting for a short time, I first heard the sound of the ring pendant, followed by the floating fragrance, and a figure flashed out from behind the screen, like a fairy in a painting.
Among the women Gu Yu saw, Tuoya was heroic and domineering, Xun Yu was gentle and approachable, and Lu Xuanying was all black when she peeled off her skin... each had its own characteristics. But this person's characteristics are very clear, just one word, beautiful!
As soon as she came out, everyone quickly got up, "I've seen your mother!"
"You don't have to be polite, please sit down!"
Mingyu was wearing a light green gauze skirt with a thin layer of powder, like a crisp wicker folded on a chair, but the words in her mouth were definitely not what the little girl said.
"With the help of all of you, the civil strife can be quelled so quickly. Now the national teacher is being escorted back to Beijing. After ten days, the three divisions will hold a joint trial, and then leave it to His Majesty to decide..."
"It's up to His Majesty to decide? Can't the empress make the decision?" One person frowned.
"The national teacher is a first-rank Taoist official who is in charge of Jinglu in the world. No one is qualified to punish him except His Majesty." Mingyu laughed.
oh…
Gu Yu suddenly realized that all the people here are smart people, and they understood the meaning of the words.
Yan Zhou has never been able to stay in seclusion, and now something big has happened, as the ruler of the country, it is time to show up and deal with it. This should also be the reason for the general's temporary compromise.
"Okay, these idle things have nothing to do with today..."
Mingyu clapped her palms and said with a smile: "I was originally a subjugated person. I have been in the deep palace for a long time, like walking on thin ice. Thanks to your help, I am very kind. Today is a private banquet. I hope you can drink and enjoy yourself."
Saying that, everyone moved to another room, and the servants brought out a series of delicacies, such as spiritual wine and delicacies, which were rare even for monks.
The nineteen people were of different ages and genders, and even their origins were from the north and the south, but Mingyu's reception was perfect, as if she was born to be suitable for this kind of scene, she was exquisite and delightful at first sight.
Shao Le didn't care about it, and ate it all, which was a bit moral.
A meal lasted until late at night, the host and guest had a good time, the food and wine were removed, and tea and pastries were replaced. Mingyu held a cup of spiritual tea that was hard to change, and said: "The nature of this war has been determined in the court. The national teacher is actually a national traitor, intending to seek power and usurp the throne. You are all meritorious ministers, and the court will not treat you badly, but That's a state matter, for me, no thanks is not enough, I'm grateful in my heart... "
She paused, and then said: "I have nothing else to repay, but I have some research on the law of heaven and man, and I would like to share it with everyone."
Buzz buzz!
Once this remark was made, the audience instantly became excited. Some of them were indeed looking for official positions and wealth, but most of them were looking for this elixir of longevity. The atmosphere was suddenly quiet, with more than a dozen eyes staring at her, for fear of missing a word.
"When the idea of existence was born, we don't know, but at least it has been hundreds of years. In these hundreds of years, not to mention ascension, even the power of heaven and man has been very few. The reasons are, one is The mysteries of heaven and man are in the hands of the royal family, and the second is that it is too difficult to cultivate, and the threshold is difficult."
"Collecting energy, concentrating, leaving the body, and wandering, these four realms all have specific thoughts, so the world thinks that there must be exercises in the realm of heaven and man, which is a big mistake!"
Mingyu sighed, and said: "I was by Father's side in the early years, and later accompanied Yanzhou for many years. I can tell you with certainty that there is no cultivation method at all in the realm of heaven and man!"
boom!
The pot suddenly boiled in the field.
"How can it be?"
"Without thinking, how did they break through the realm?"
"Also ask the empress to express it clearly!"
"..."
However, Gu Yu and Shao Le's hearts moved, and they vaguely got some clues.
Sure enough, Mingyu continued: "If you want to break through heaven and man, it doesn't lie in the exercises, but in understanding the heaven and the earth, understanding the mind of the Tao, communicating with the universe, and determining your ultimate goal. To put it bluntly, the exercises are created by yourself, and you have to think about it." Your Dao Xin communicates with the heaven and the earth, and if you get the approval of the Dao, you will naturally be promoted to heaven and man. And follow this path, and continue to make up for it until you ascend!"
Hiss!
The faces here are all different, or confused, or surprised, or suspicious, or suddenly enlightened. Gu Yu and Shao Le looked at each other, but they both understood.
From the gas production period to the fugue, each stage has a fixed idea of saving. This is the case from Cunxiang flying waterfalls, to Cunxiang black turtle watching the sea, to Cunxiang swimming apes.
But in the realm of heaven and man, what you think about is not other things, but your own Dao Xin, an existence derived from Dao Xin! More stream of consciousness than before, more subjectivity...
Everyone was in a turbulent mood, and it took a long time to calm down, and one of them asked: "Your Majesty, what is your Majesty thinking about?"
"I don't know."
"Then what are you thinking about..."
"Um?"
Mingyu glanced at him with a half-smile, but the man knew he was talking too much, so he shut up resentfully.
…
Back from Bieyuan, Gu Yu has been thinking about the so-called law of heaven and man.
In reality, he also seeks longevity and you, so what is it in the small world? After traveling down to earth, I never thought that I could have something to do with Dao Xin.
This thing is so abstract!
Dao Xin Dao Xin can actually be interpreted as: Why do you practice Taoism
Of course he cultivated Taoism for the sake of ascension, but from the perspective of his own will, ascension is to perfect the three realms and promote to the earth immortal. Does the will of this world conflict with the will of this world
Others don't make it either!
Ten days later, the imperial city.
The common people in the capital got up early and huddled in the streets outside the imperial city, discussing in full swing. There is no way, beheading and eating steamed buns with human blood are the common hobbies of people in both the East and the West.
After waiting for a short time, someone suddenly shouted: "Come! Come!"
brush!
The audience was silent, Qi Qi turned his eyes to the end of the street, and saw dozens of riders in front of him, all of whom were out-of-body masters, escorting a prison cart in the middle, and inside was an old Taoist, the national teacher.
He has a miserable face and a discomfited figure, his cultivation has been sealed by several great gods, he is no different from an ordinary old man.
A group of people just came out of the government office, and the three divisions will interrogate and enumerate the crimes. Now they are going to the back mountain to ask the king to make a decision.
Da da da! Da da da! After the sound of horseshoes went away, the gate of the imperial city was slowly closed, and the people on both sides suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
"What's wrong with the national teacher, saying it's a rebellion? It's unbelievable!"
"How did I hear that it was the national teacher who had an affair with the empress, and later turned against each other, and then provoked the war?"
"What's the matter? It's easy to say, let's apologize to the people of the whole country!"
"Hey, when it comes to apologizing, I think of the story of Monkey King three times beating the bones to apologize to Tang Seng. At the beginning of next year, Journey to the West co-produced by China and the United States will officially start..."
Let's say that a group of people pressed the national teacher to the back mountain, and just outside the gate of the retreat place, Mingyu, the general and all the important officials were all present.
The expressions of the crowd were very delicate, with some anticipation and some fear and panic. Mingyu was the calmest, her gaze towards the mountain gate was cold and calm.
Even those servants became nervous, Yan Zhou had been in seclusion for seven years, without any movement, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. Although this person is extremely powerful, with him around, the court and the people will have a wonderful sense of security.
A civil official held the confession and read aloud the various crimes committed by the national teacher. The old man was in the prison car, he couldn't stand or sit, he could only half squat, but his expression was extremely mocking, as if he was watching a group of clowns performing.
Immediately afterwards, the general knelt down and said to the mountain gate: "Your Majesty! The national teacher is ambitious and intends to rebel... After the interrogation by the three divisions, he has all confessed. Please go out and make a decision!"
"..."
"His Majesty!"
"..."
thump! thump! He yelled twice, but there was still no response from inside. The civil servants and generals at the scene simply knelt down together and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please leave the customs!"
"..."
The mountain gate was closed tightly, silently. Everyone's hearts were cold, could it be that something happened to Yan Zhou, otherwise, he would not come out for such a big event
snort!
Mingyu, who was the only one standing, couldn't help sneering, and after the general and the others shouted hoarsely, he said: "Don't waste your energy in vain, His Majesty doesn't seem to be coming out. Instead of wasting time, it's better to deal with the matter at hand. How to deal with the old thief?"
"From the point of view of my humble minister, it's better to be imprisoned in the sky prison."
A civil official said, and the rest of them agreed.
"Imprisoned in the prison? The chaos has subsided, and there are still remnants of the old thief everywhere. If you leave him alive, you will not be afraid of the night's long dream? In my opinion, just kill him!"
Puchi!
The knife fell from the hand, blood spattered three feet, a head rolled on the ground, and the eyes were still wide open, full of disbelief.
"No!"
The general was a step too late, seeing Mingyu chop off the head of the national teacher with a single knife, he couldn't help shouting: "Mother, you have exceeded the rules!"
"It's a pity that you are still a military general, but you are so pedantic, and your cultivation is in the stomach of a dog!"
Mingyu ignored it at all, lifted the head with one hand, and said: "The old thief is dead, the next step is to confirm that His Majesty is safe."
As she spoke, she actually walked towards the mountain gate.
"Ma'am!"
"Young lady, you can't do it!"
A group of people yelled, but no one stopped them this time. After all, they all wanted to know about Yan Zhou's situation, but they were afraid of its power and dared not move.
"Your Majesty, you have been in seclusion for many years, and my concubine misses you so much!"
"The old thief confers the head, the head is here, why don't you come out and share the reward with your concubines?"
Mingyu was wearing a gorgeous palace attire, full of jewels, as beautiful as the Virgin of the Heavenly Palace, but she was holding a bloody human head in her hand, forming a great sense of contrast.
She stepped up the steps step by step. Three fingers were cold and two fingers were hot. In fact, she was more nervous than anyone else.
"Squeak!"
Just as she stepped up to the last step, the wooden door opened.
The rising sun shone from there, and a tall figure appeared. Although it was extremely tall, it did not appear burly, but became more and more tall and straight, with a majestic bearing, like a born emperor.
"Queen!"
