This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 64 Scare the Officials
Standing beside the Runan County King, Lu Sen was in the spotlight.

But he appeared calm.

When he was in college, he lost a bet with his roommates, and then he was dragged by them to sign up for the show together, and danced awkwardly at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. At that time, the whole school was full of laughter.

Since then, Lu Sen has not been afraid of being stared at by a large number of people.

To be honest, participating in such a group activity once or twice is quite a good exercise.

After chatting with the Prince of Runan for a while, the palace door opened, civil and military officials filed in, and on the way to the Daqing Hall, they adjusted their positions by themselves.

Lu Sen stayed by the side of Runan County King. This time, the old husband escorted him all the way, but he didn't have the feeling of being at a loss when he first arrived in a large group.

After entering the Daqing Hall, I waited for another half a column of incense, and finally waited for Zhao Zhen to go to court.

Although the fat man looked a little tired, his expression was very excited. He sat on the dragon chair and smiled when he saw Lu Sen standing beside the Runan County King.

And Lu Sen was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Zhen.

When he got married, he saw this fat man among the guests.

It turned out that at that time, it was a private visit, no wonder.

"Thanks again to all the Aiqings for getting up in the dark and working on state affairs in the morning." Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair, saluted with both hands, and smiled: "If you have something to do, please play."

No matter what Zhao Zhen's level of governance is, at least his attitude of treating and caring for all officials makes many people feel very comfortable.

No one is listed.

Because they know that the protagonist this time is not them, but someone else.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one had started the court ceremony, Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Sen and said with a smile: "Since there is no report, then I will talk about other important things. Lu Zhenren, I have invited you into the palace. "

The civil and military officials tacitly divided them into two pieces to the left and right, freeing up the space in the middle, and then they turned to look at Lu Sen.

And Lu Sen walked to the middle, clasped his fists and saluted Zhao Zhen on the dragon chair, and said calmly, "I have seen the official family. I don't dare to be called a real person. I am just a latecomer who knows a little about the technique."

"A few days ago, I asked Runan County King to quietly take me to the wedding banquet of Lu Zhenren and the youngest daughter of the Yang family." Zhao Zhen said with longing: "It's winter now, and the world is cold, only the low mountains have fairyland. It is as warm as spring, the flowers are in full bloom, and there are colorful butterflies dancing to the fairy music, it is really a fairy palace on earth."

In fact, almost everyone in Bianjing knew that Lu Sen had supernatural powers.

After all, Bao Zheng had endorsed him before.

And now, Zhao Zhen has endorsed Lu Sen again, raising the credibility to the point where almost no one doubts it.

At the moment, many people looked at Lu Sen with burning eyes, thinking about how to have a good relationship with this person.

There are only a few people like Bao Zheng, who are a little worried that Lu Sen will bring the entire Song Dynasty into the fanatical atmosphere where all beings are looking for immortals.

"That's the way of the cave." Lu Sen said what he had thought about in the past few days.

In fact, Zhao Zhen just wanted to know the content related to cultivating immortals. In his opinion, all of Lu Sen's unreasonable things were the external manifestations of immortality.

"What is the law of the cave?" He asked excitedly: "I read a lot of rumors about the ghosts, all of which say that immortals live in caves in the mountains."

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Sen, and what Zhao Zhen asked was what they wanted to know.

"The formation of the spiritual energy of the mountain is called a 'hole', and a small world of its own is called a 'fu'." Lu Sen said slowly: "The so-called method of the cave is a place where you can practice and escape after you have succeeded in the technique. No cave dwelling, no immortal cultivation."

There is no cave mansion and no immortal cultivation?

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all had different expressions.

Most people believed it, and only a few looked suspicious.

"What nonsense!"

Just after Lu Sen finished speaking, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe came out from the dark on the right side of the hall.

The face is like white jade, with black beard and collar.

Holding Fuchen in his hand, he lifted his legs higher than the average person while walking, leaned back slightly, and looked at him with a peculiar aura of an outsider.

He walked under Zhao Zhen and pointed at Lu Sen with his fingers, and said angrily, "If you don't eat qi, if you don't eat pills, how come the immortal qi is close to you. This cave dwelling is the residence of the immortals, and there are immortals before there are cave dwellings. And this monster surnamed Lu, actually first in the cave, and then in the immortal, upside down, it's unbearable."

Everyone looked at this man and nodded slightly.

The Eight Sages and the others were even more mocking.

Even Zhao Zhen was full of impatience.

These people have seen it with their own eyes, and even stayed in Lu Sen's yard for a few hours.

Lu Sen said that it was Dongfu, and they absolutely believed it.

Lu Sen smiled lightly: "Please ask for the long name."

"Yang Yuanqing, the son of Taiyi Palace, the Taoist name is Liyang." The middle-aged Taoist priest held the whisk and said coldly, "I dare to ask where the young man is from and who is the master?"

"Master's surname is in the name system, and the Taoist name is Fengling. The master bestowed himself the Taoist name Moon Shadow." Lu Sen said with a smile: "As for the origin of my sect, I don't know either. Dare to ask."

Daoist Liyang sneered twice, then turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Guanjia, this young man didn't even say what his teacher was. It's either a liar or an evil way."

"I and the Eight Sage Kings, Bao Xiren and other Aiqings all ate Lu Zhenren's banquet, and we saw the fairyland on earth, which is the cave dwelling in Lu Zhen's mouth." Zhao Zhen still had a smile on his face, but his face It was obviously unpleasant: "Daoist Liyang, you should step back first."

Is he suspecting that he is blind and deceived?Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that the Taoist Liyang, whom he had trusted in the past, seemed a little untrustworthy.

"but……"

"The official family, please step back." Liu Chuanzhi took Daoist Liyang's hand and walked back without a word.

Seeing that Daoist Liyang was stronger than Liu Chuanzhi, he could not escape the restraint of this father-in-law, and was gradually dragged away.

The civil and military officials looked at the Taoist Liyang so embarrassed, and almost all made a faint laugh at the same time.

In fact, the previous Daoist Liyang was the 'Heavenly Master' of the Taiyi Palace and participated in the court proceedings.

Although he won't make any comments, the fact that a Taoist can appear in the courtroom itself is a sign of favor.

But now it seems that this Taoist Liyang will be kicked out of the palace in the future.

After Daoist Liyang disappeared, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I disturbed Zhenren Lu. You just said that the cave is the foundation of immortal cultivation, so that means, as long as there is a cave, anyone can cultivate immortals?"

Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can escape the knot of death, only the immortals and gods are detached.

As long as there is a chance to become an immortal, who does not want to fight.

What is a dragon chair?
Lu Sen shook his head: "Impossible. The conditions for cultivating immortals are extremely harsh. Among thousands of people, it is difficult to find one person."

At this time, the Eight Sage Kings, who had been closing his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "That is to say, Lu Zhenren thinks that only one genius in ten million people is born?"

"Yes." Lu Sen answered without hesitation: "This is not what I said, but what the master said."

The Eight Sages immediately shut up and stopped talking. If Lu Sen said so himself, others could say he was arrogant.

But this is what the other master said, so it's not easy to criticize.

Insulting one's teachers is worse than insulting one's parents.

The civil and military officials were extremely curious about the matter of cultivating immortals, and they were a little unhappy when they heard the interruption of the Eight Sages.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the Eight Sage Kings, and then asked, "Zhenzhen Lu, why is it so difficult to cultivate immortals? Only one in ten million people can emerge?"

"It's actually very simple. The Dao of Heaven is vast. Life, old age, sickness and death are all God's will, and most of the lives of life are in the net of God's Dao." Lu Sen slowly said the settings he had thought of before: "Occasionally, there are fish that slip through the net. Such a person, whose fate is not in the records of the Tao of Heaven, has the opportunity to escape from the Tao of Heaven, and only then has the qualification to cultivate immortals."

This is the first time everyone has seen such a 'strange' statement.

Before, they also asked the monks and Taoists how to live forever.

And the answers of these people are the same... What kind of immortal fate, what kind of dishonesty, what kind of elixir has not been refined, and so on!
This is the first time they have heard the saying of a fish slipping through the net.

At this time, a young civil official took a step forward and asked, "Zhenzhen Lu, wouldn't Tiandao take care of you who slipped through the net and caught them back?"

Lu Sen had expected someone to ask such a question.

He smiled and said, "Let me use an analogy, an old man buys an ant nest to go home and wants to make black ant wine, and occasionally two or three ants fall on the road. Do you think this old man will make a special trip to the street to find two ants. come back?"

This analogy is real, and everyone understands it as soon as they hear it.

Zhao Zhen was overjoyed: "Zhenzhen Lu, do you mean that as long as you can get out of the trap of heaven, you can cultivate immortals and live forever?"

Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even the other civil and military officials were moved. It was the first time they heard this kind of explanation that was considered a more 'reliable'.

"Theoretically, it is possible." Lu Sen suddenly said with a serious face: "But it is best for the officials not to think about it."

All the officials were stunned, and even Zhao Zhen was stunned.

"Why can't I think about immortality and longevity?"

It was the first time he had seen that a Taoist persuaded the official family not to cultivate immortals.

Aren't all Taoists and monks trying their best to fool emperors and immortals?
"Because you are the Son of Heaven, you have left a name in the Heavenly Dao." Lu Sen looked at the dismayed expressions of the surrounding officials, and continued, "Heavenly Dao is the father, birth, old age, sickness and death are the set rules. It is not filial to walk in the sky, and this move may have great difficulties."

This is actually a bit too much to say.

At this time, unfilial piety is a very serious crime.

And it is still unfilial to the 'day'.

However, Lu Sen decided to continue adding some more drastic information: "The Emperor Qin sent Xu Fu to take [-] boys and girls out to sea to seek elixir. Soon after, Emperor Qin died suddenly outside the palace."

If Lu Sen said just now that Emperor Xiu Xian was unfilial, then the 'connection' of Emperor Qin's sudden death was like throwing a boulder into the small lake, blowing everyone into a daze and confusion.

Especially Zhao Zhen, his face even became ashen.

After the shock, the civil and military officials began to discuss, and their voices were as noisy as a vegetable market.

Zhao Zhen paused for a while before saying, "What Lu Zhenren means...I can't cultivate immortals?"

"Yes, the emperor can't cultivate immortals." Lu Sen said firmly: "As long as the emperors who eat elixir and practice immortality, none of them will end well."

Zhao Zhen's face was distorted and became extremely ugly, and he said unwillingly: "Lu Zhenren, are you trying to persuade me, so you are threatening me."

"The official family and the ministers are all people who are familiar with the history books. They recalled what was written in the books, and asked the gods and gods, how many people died in good health? Not to mention the two emperors of Yan and Huang, who were already human saints during their lifetimes are not the case."

After thinking about it, they all shook their heads, as if they really didn't.

Zhao Zhen rubbed his forehead uncomfortably.

He is a fat man, born with high blood pressure, so when he is excited, he is prone to headaches.

Bao Zheng was in the crowd and looked at Lu Sen, a little surprised, and finally nodded with a smile.

Zhao Zhen's head hurt so badly, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this is the end of the morning, all the Aiqings will go home and rest first."

As he spoke, he stood up without waiting for the others to reply, and with Liu Chuanzhi's help, returned to the harem.

And the officials left in sevens and eights.

Lu Sen followed Runan County King and walked out.

At this time, many people came to greet him, all wanting to have a relationship with Lu Senpan.

Even if you can't get the method of cultivating immortals from Lu Sen, you can mix your face with familiarity. If you feel uncomfortable in the future and get serious Qing, you can also ask Lu Sen for help.

Because too many people came to say hello, they had to stop every few steps, so Prince Runan and Lu Sen walked for half an hour before they walked out of the palace.

After leaving the palace gate, Prince Runan directly took Lu Sen back to his home. In the study, he sighed and asked, "Other Taoists are thinking, how can the officials believe in immortality? You are good, you have punctured the official family's thoughts."

Lu Sen chuckled lightly.

Seeing that he didn't care, the Prince of Runan also smiled and said, "It's alright, it's fine to pierce it. Anyway, it doesn't hinder the major event. Instead, the virtuous son-in-law can attack and defend in the future, because you are not flattering. Officials, this is very important."

Literati don't like Taoists very much.

Afraid that they would take the crooked official's family to seek immortals and ask, they will ignore the affairs of the court from now on.

And this time, Lu Sen directly broke Zhao Zhen's thoughts, which made them have a high degree of goodwill towards Lu Sen.

"Actually, I didn't think about it that much. I just said things. It is estimated that the officials have no interest in me." Lu Sen explained.

"That won't happen." Prince Runan looked out the window and thought for a while, then said, "Actually, he also knows that as an emperor, it is almost impossible to cultivate into an immortal. And you are the only real person at present. There is no substitute for someone who has great supernatural powers, and when the official family's mood relaxes, they will definitely seal your official position."

Lu Sen nodded when he heard this.

"The most troublesome thing now is how to make the virtuous son-in-law have real power." King Runan said with some embarrassment: "According to the past practice, Taoists are given some virtual positions. Although they are of high rank, they have no real power."

But even a Taoist who has no real power, as long as he has the trust of the official family, and then leads the official family in a crooked way, he can still cause the whole country to become a miasma.

The Duke of Runan thought for a while and said, "I don't know if you have any ideas about the position of 'Supervisor'?"

"Well, the supervisor?" Lu Sen was a little surprised.

The Duke of Runan nodded and said, "As far as I know, the Zhe family and the Chong family in the northwest will soon use troops against Xixia at the same time, and it is bound to send a supervisor to supervise the battle."
