The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 299
This matter, to be honest, is not too dangerous.

Even if he refused, Tang Ruizong Li Dan would not make things difficult for him too much. The political struggle in the Tang Dynasty was bloody and bloody, but when it came to these trivial matters, he was extremely lenient.He couldn't be thrown into prison as soon as he, the new champion of the department, passed the first place.

But... Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, Tang Ruizong Li Dan is weak, but he is facing Princess Taiping and Li Longji. Although there are many scruples about him, a ninth-rank school scholar, who knows if he will be silly.

"Father said that he wants to recruit you as the captain-in-law..."

"The poems you wrote for me in Youxianguan have been spread throughout Chang'an, and everyone knows... You and I have a secret love affair. Therefore, although it is a bit reluctant to recruit you as the son-in-law captain, it is also within reason... "

Princess Jinxian blushed and said in embarrassment.

After she finished speaking, she took a cautious look at Bai Gui's expression, seeing that he was not surprised and angry, she felt a little relieved.After all, the marriage of a royal princess is an honor for ordinary people, but for a champion like Bai Gui, it is really rare.

Who doesn't love beautiful men with Pan Anzhi's looks and Song Yuzhi's talents? !

Right now, Bai Gui's poems and calligraphy are the best in Chang'an. It is difficult for ordinary people to compare civil and military.

"The sage thinks so, so... what does the princess mean?"

"You are nineteen years old, your parents died early, if you get married, the elder brother will be the father, you have to ask your elder brother..."

When Bai Gui saw the delicate and charming Jinxian princess, dressed in a female crown, her plain face was flushed with red, and the affection in her eyes seemed to drip water, which made people's hearts sway.

It's just that he calmed down and thought of the disadvantages of being the captain's son-in-law.

Just put it mildly.

Parents to enrich people.It's not so simple for a big family to make an engagement, they must ask both parents in advance, and his parents died early, so he needs to ask his elder brother Baihuang to see what his opinion is.

There are very few people from aristocratic families who are willing to marry a royal princess, and his elder brother Baihuang probably will not agree.

"Brother Daoist Bai is more talented than Chang'an..."

"There is nothing to be picky about Jinxian, as long as Daoist Bai doesn't dislike it."

Princess Jinxian hesitated for a while, and boldly confided.

"But you and I have already conferred the talisman, and we are cultivators. What we expect is nothing more than the word longevity..."

"According to what my master said, the poor Taoist is expected to become a fairy in this life, but what about you, princess? If you stay with the poor Taoist elder, and when the princess is old, even if the poor Taoist treats you as before, isn't the princess afraid of other people's eyes?"

"20 years, 30 years, 50 years, a hundred years later... the princess is just a pile of bones!"

"Do you want to stare at the tombs in vain and become sick from love?!"

"Forgive me for not being able to do this!"

Bai Gui took a deep breath and asked.

After cursing, he got up and flicked his sleeves, leaving only a back, with his back to Princess Jinxian, and then silently looked out of the Xuan window.

The cold moon is like a hook, and the night wind is silent.

He definitely can't refuse this marriage directly. Once he refuses, Tang Ruizong Li Dan may ask him to blame, so only the elder brother can come forward.But if the elder brother Bai Huang came forward, it probably wouldn't be good.

So the best way is to let Princess Jinxian "repent" and go to Li Dan to intercede.

Prepare with both hands, grasp with both hands.

"Yes!"

"Brother Bai Dao is expected to become a fairy in this life!"

"I am now three years older than Daoist Bai. Even if I have good looks and youth forever, what will happen to me at 60 or [-]? Brother Daoist Bai is still so young, and I have become an old woman..."

Princess Jinxian's face turned pale, and she felt cold sweat protruding from her back.

Now even if Baigui is recruited as the captain of the consort, he can only keep the joy for decades. When she is old and has no face, can the concubine still treat her as before?Thinking about it, I feel that this matter is very suspenseful.

Moreover, Bai Gui is not an ordinary person. It is estimated that his appearance will not change much in a few decades.

She is a royal princess, she is said to be a nobleman, but she is undoubtedly inferior to the real fairy.

"Brother Bai's words are justified..."

"Last year, my father wanted to recruit a son-in-law for me and Yuzhen's sister, but we were pushed away by the fact that we practiced Taoism since we were young, so my father ignored the advice of his officials and spent a lot of money to save me and Yuzhen. My sister built Jinxian Temple and Yuzhen Temple, and there are many rewards, so as to make up for what I owed to the two of us."

"If you suddenly regret it now, it will inevitably be unbeautiful."

"Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and report back to my father. In this life, I will concentrate on cultivating the Tao and not caring about worldly affairs. This is considered a fulfillment of the contract."

Princess Jinxian calmed down and said.

Her words are true.

Originally, according to her status as a princess, she and Princess Yuzhen should have settled down on her husband's family long ago, and there will be no consort and marriage contract until now.

The age at which women in the Tang Dynasty got married was generally around fifteen or sixteen.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict stipulating that men of twenty and women of fifteen or more must marry.It was just because of various reasons that cultivating the Tao was the way to protect oneself, so the marriage was delayed. Later, after Tang Ruizong ascended the throne, she was going to grant a marriage, but she refused, so she decided to continue practicing the Tao.

This delay has come to the present.

It's really not good to talk back.

Of course, if Bai Gui agreed at the beginning, he would backtrack if he backtracked.The ministers would not be ignorant enough to persuade the emperor to let the princess not marry.

I would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage.

Encouraging marriage and remarriage has always been the main purpose of feudal dynasties, and it is impossible to violate this point.

……

Princess Jinxian also knows who her father Li Dan is, and it is difficult to persuade her alone.Therefore, the prince Li Longji was asked to go to the palace to face the saint together, to clarify the matter, and to say that he was determined to practice Taoism in his life and refused to marry.

Although Prince Li Longji loves his younger sister, the twisted melon is not sweet. If Princess Jinxian is willing, Bai Gui will twist the melon. He forced his sister to marry.

So after coming and going, this matter was silent, and no one mentioned it again.

Bai Gui is also the same as before, when he should go to the secretary province to clock in, he goes to the secretary province to clock in, and the rest of the time is to go to Haotian Temple to be a Taoist priest to do his homework, learn the rituals of offering sacrifices, fasting rituals, etc., and learn a Taoist priest in Louguan all kinds of knowledge.

He will not underestimate this sacrificial ceremony, its existence must be reasonable. In a world without demons and lawlessness, the sacrificial ceremony and fasting ceremony are probably useless, but now that there is Taoism, this ritual and fasting ceremony must be of great use.

In addition to going to Haotian Temple and the Secretary's Office, he will also spare three days in January to teach Liu Jinyuan the responsibilities of being a good gentleman.

In this way, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the second year of Xiantian, which is also the first year of Kaiyuan.

About a year and a half has passed.

Tang Ruizong Li Dan was in Jingyun for three years, that is, the first year of Xiantian, because of the appearance of a comet, Zen was located in Prince Li Longji, and he established himself as the Supreme Emperor.

Baoningfang, Haotian Temple.

backyard.

"Take advantage of the righteousness of the heaven and the earth to guard against the debate of the six qi."

"The six climes refer to yin and yang, darkness, wind and rain, and debating the false to change characters. The righteousness of heaven and earth refers to the rules of the universe. For more than a year, I have been specializing in the change of wind and rain, and the change of wind and rain is also the best way to start. One of the two qi..."

"It can take advantage of the wind and rain to rise, and it will not fall after thirty breaths..."

While Bai Gui was speaking, he sprinkled several drops of rootless water from his sleeves.

This rootless water is the rainwater from the sky that does not touch the ground, and it contains the inspiration of wind and rain, so it is most suitable for casting spells.

When Taoists practice Dharma altars, they also often use rootless water, thinking that this water is the best water.

In a short while, he was riding the wind, and there seemed to be invisible steps on the soles of his feet. He stepped up and walked more than [-] steps.

"Junior brother, it seems that you have mastered the three yin, three yang and six qi."

"If you can stay in the air for thirty breaths today, you will be able to stay in the air for a long time in the future."

A young Taoist priest approached from the corridor, saw Bai Gui falling from the sky, chuckled and said.

This person is Zhou Wenxuan, Hou Shaowei's first disciple, and also Bai Gui's senior brother.

"Senior brother is absurd."

Bai Gui turned his head and saluted.

That day Hou Shaowei asked him to choose the three-volume Taoism. The reason why he chose "Guishan Strategy" was not only because the Taoism "Ziyun Miaozhi" was not suitable for him, but also because he was worried that his senior brother Zhou Wenxuan was practicing it. "Purple Cloud Wonderful Purpose".If the choice is the same, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels. Afterwards, it is exactly as he thought. Zhou Wenxuan was included in Hou Shaowei's conception since he was a child, and what he practiced was "Ziyun Miaozhi".

The two have different choices of Taoism, so there is no core conflict, so they get along happily.

"The six qi are the soul of the five elements, and the five elements are the soul of the six qi."

"In Suwen, Gui Yuqu said that cold, heat, dampness, wind and fire are the yin and yang of the sky, and the three yin and three yang are enshrined above. Wood, fire, earth, gold, water and fire, the yin and yang of the earth, grow and store, and respond to it. The sky is born of yin. Yin grows, and the earth kills Yin with yang..."

"Master taught you the method of controlling the six qi, not just the way of controlling the sky."

Zhou Wenxuan lightly pointed to the dead wood on the side. In an instant, the dead wood was in spring, and the old branches twitched, which was miraculous.

But after he withdrew his Taoism, the dead tree died again.

"Last night, I watched the Ziwei star shine brightly, and the stars shifted. The saint may make some moves recently."

"Junior brother, you are now a member of Zhongshushe. This is a confidential task. You can't escape it. You need to make plans early..."

he said slowly.

"Senior brother saves it."

Bai Gui nodded.

What Zhou Wenxuan said was correct. In a few days, it will be the time when Li Longji launched an attack on Princess Taiping, a political opponent. According to historical records, this coup was called the Xiantian Zhengchang because it happened during the Xiantian period.

After Princess Taiping was put to death, it will be the period of the real Kaiyuan prosperity and Li Longji's efforts to govern.

And because he had a good relationship with Li Longji and couldn't tell the truth with Princess Jinxian, Jane was in the heart of the emperor, and he was promoted rapidly, from the school secretary of the ninth rank to the secretary of the sixth rank, and then to the middle rank of the fifth rank. Shusheren.

The people in Zhongshushe also did secretarial work, in charge of the drafting of imperial edicts, edicts, and seal book orders.

Compared with others, Li Longji trusted him as a "sister-in-law". After all, he and Princess Jinxian and Princess Yuzhen were from the same mother. Once Princess Taiping gained power, his lineage would have nothing to eat.

Although the promotion is rapid, it is also within common sense.

Secretary Lang is from the sixth rank, and he is the boss of Secretary Provincial School Book Lang. If the school book Lang is promoted, he will be promoted to Secretary Lang.Secretary Lang and Zhongshu Sheren of Zhongshu Province have similar official positions, one is from the sixth rank and the other is the fifth rank, but the former generally does not work as an engineer, while the latter is the emperor's confidant.

"As long as you know."

Zhou Wenxuan nodded. He is quite satisfied with this junior brother. He does not fight or grab. He is indifferent and has a lot of power in the court. He naturally makes good friends with such a person. He thought for a while and said: "You always have your own opinions. Yes, it’s not easy for a senior brother to say much, but you need to remember that the law does not add noble people, and when things change, you can’t do the law if you can.”

"But it's not true that we can't kill the rich and powerful, but that all the rich and powerful are accompanied by purple energy. If you kill them rashly, it will inevitably break your own morality..."

He patiently told.

The dignitaries are all rich and powerful, and when a disaster turns into a calamity, killing a dignitary will definitely cost a lot more than killing an ordinary person.

If you want to become a fairy, you have to accumulate virtue.

Unless it is a heinous person, killing him will definitely have consequences.

"Junior Brother, I am a member of Zhongshushe, and I am not a fighting general. It is not my turn to kill people."

Bai Gui couldn't help laughing, and shook his head.

……

Innate two years, July.

Princess Taiping plotted a positive change and seized power with the Yulin Army from the north and the Nanya Army from the south.Li Longji, together with Guo Yuanzhen, Wang Maozhong, Gao Lishi and others, took the lead after being reminded by Bai Gui and others. It was falsely reported that the Supreme Emperor summoned Prime Minister Dou Huaizhen and others, and led five hundred feathered forest troops to kill them.

Princess Taiping fled to Nanshan Buddhist Temple when she saw that her party members had been killed.

The Supreme Emperor Li Dan interceded, but was rejected by Li Longji, who gave Princess Taiping Bai Ling and Jiujiu, and gave her death.

Chang'an Imperial Palace, Zichen Hall.

"Meihe, most of the members of the Taiping faction have been executed now. Shi Chongxuan is Princess Taiping's disciple and is now Jinxian's master. It's not easy for me to make a decision on this matter. You and Jinxian... have a very close relationship. Go and persuade her."

Li Longji sat on the throne, hesitated for a moment, and said.

He still cares more about the relationship between brother and sister, and doesn't want to make too much trouble.

But Shi Chongxuan has a very deep relationship with Princess Taiping, he is a famous follower of Princess Taiping, and relying on Princess Taiping's power to become Honglu Qing, now that Princess Taiping is under execution, Shi Chongxuan must also be executed.

"Your Majesty, I am a member of Zhongshushe, not a lobbyist. Please don't make things difficult for me, Your Majesty."

Bai Gui flatly refused.

He is not afraid of Li Longji.

Li Longji wants to be a good emperor, and now is when Li Longji's foothold is not stable. He has contributed a lot in this positive change, and he can be regarded as a great contributor to Li Longji's group. would care too much.

If he cared too much, he would not be Tang Minghuang.

As an official, as long as you don't get confused about major issues, you will be fine.

And the reason why he is willing to be an official in the court is to show his talents in the Kaiyuan rule, so as to seek more Taoist merits.

It is easier for the powerful to accumulate good deeds.

If Li Longji was really narrow-minded, he would abandon his official position and return to Zongsheng Temple to continue practicing Taoism. Anyway, whether he became an immortal sooner or later, it was not a big deal for him.

"you……"

"Forget it, you draft an edict for me, and if I speak in person, it won't destroy your relationship with Jinxian."

"No! No! I'm a good person who will do it to the end, and find another person from Zhongshushe to draft an order."

Li Longji was in a hurry, but after thinking about it, Bai Gui was right, he was not in his position and would not seek his own affairs, so he had no choice but to reply.

In his heart, he regarded Bai Gui as one of the future virtuous ministers.

Compared with persuading Shi Chongxuan, Bai Gui's "uprightness" is more appreciated by him.

Bai Gui drafted the imperial edict.

In the evening, when he returned to Jinxian Temple.

"The historian was in the Taiqing Temple, and was captured by the sage and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"I should have thought of this matter a long time ago. Princess Taiping is against the saint. There will be such a day sooner or later. Fortunately, the saint won, and Princess Taiping failed this time..."

In the Golden Immortal Temple, Princess Jinxian looked a little haggard, seeing Bai Gui coming in, she said.

Shi Chongxuan is the master of Taiqing Temple in the capital.

"Shi Daochang relied on Princess Taiping to gain power. Now that Princess Taiping is gone, the purple energy in his luck has been exhausted, and the way is blocked, so it is difficult to escape. Otherwise, with Shi Daochang's Taoism, he may escape and ascend to heaven."

"Princess, you should take this as a warning."

Bai Gui sighed and said.

Although Shi Chongxuan didn't have a deep relationship with him on weekdays, but seeing Shi Chongxuan like this, he couldn't help but have some sad thoughts.That's why he categorically refused to listen to Li Longji's intention and persuade Princess Jinxian.Not only the scruples about the relationship with Princess Jinxian, but also related to this matter.

Shi Chongxuan's Taoism is actually similar to his. When he reaches the realm of raising a holy fetus, it is similar to the realm of raising a fetus for ordinary pregnant women. "Holy fetus", at this level, although there are supernatural powers and Taoism can be used, but it is impossible to achieve the disaster of the sword.

At this stage of cultivation, he is also very fragile. When Princess Taiping loses power, he is like a rootless duckweed. The purple energy dissipates, and he can no longer support the Xuantai.

Only at the latter stage, that is, the alchemy, and the condensed golden alchemy, can it be regarded as having a foundation.

"When the three families meet and form babies, they know that Taiyi contains the true qi, and the fetus in October will enter the holy foundation." —— "Wu Zhen Pian"

"Brother Bai is right."

"Although Jinxian is a royal princess, if she loses power, she might not be as good as ordinary people... Cultivating the Tao and self-cultivation is the right way."

Princess Jinxian came back to her senses and nodded.

"It's good that you understand that."

Bai Gui was relieved to see Princess Jinxian was fine.

However, this was also within his expectations. Princess Jinxian said that she worshiped Shi Chongxuan as her teacher, but she really didn't have a deep feeling for it. The conferment was only two or three years ago. Before that, Princess Jinxian was imprisoned in the deep palace. How can I get in touch with Princess Taiping's followers.

Say sad, after all get along for some time.

But it's really not so sad that it can't be added.

Otherwise, Li Longji would not be so decisive when dealing with Shi Chongxuan.

"Thank you brother Dao for calling this matter."

Princess Jinxian thanked her.

Being able to see clearly the fame and fortune in the world after experiencing this incident, she felt that her cultivation of character had improved a little bit.

"You and I are Taoist couples, and we support each other."

Bai Gui held the whisk in his hand, shook his head and said.

The two entered the back courtyard and inner courtyard, shielded the left and right, and asked in the Xuanxuan.
