That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 815

The imperial capital, Oasis Palace.

"The ancestor of Taoism said that to do nothing, to do nothing, to have no taste, to be tasteless." Xiao Bai walked with his hands behind his back, "What's the explanation? Not pursuing is pursuing, not moving is moving, doing nothing is achieving. The so-called inaction is governing , because there was nothing before, and there will be nothing after.”

Wei Wuji followed behind Xiao Bai, silent.

Xiao Bai continued to move forward, "I do nothing and the people transform themselves; I am quiet and the people are upright; I do nothing and the people are rich; I have no desires and the people are simple. What do you mean by this? The said truth is that the ruler does nothing, and the world will be at peace, but the father did not understand this truth and left the imperial capital without authorization, so he ended up in such a situation."

Wei Wuji said softly, "Your Majesty is wise."

Xiao Bai stopped in front of the emperor's throne, and said again: "The government is boring, the people are honest, the government is inspected, and the people are lacking. People's confusion is also permanent. It is lenient and wrong. Yan Yimi. Those ministers usually wish that the Holy Son of Heaven would rule, but today, they think of me again."

Sitting on the emperor's throne, Xiao Bai said with a smile: "There is nothing that can be done without doing anything, and the only thing you can do is not to fight, so nothing in the world can compete with it."

cabinet.

Han Xuan sat on the chair, and Fu Zhongtian stood in front of him.

Han Xuan said slowly: "Everything in the world is like a chessboard. If you divide it vertically, you and I are not of the same way. I am a civil servant, and you are a secret guard. But if you divide it horizontally, we are one generation. He is also the oldest person in this court."

Fu Zhongtian said softly: "Please tell the old man clearly."

Han Xuan smiled, "Why did I lose the first time and win the second time in the so-called Blue-Han party struggle back then? I didn't figure it out back then, but now I do. The reason why I lost back then was because Prime Minister Lan was the one." The real pillar of the imperial court, the imperial court at that time could be without Han Xuan, but it must not be without Lanyu. If you want to choose one of the two, it is undoubtedly Han Xuan. But why is the old man winning the second time? It is because of the emperor Your Majesty no longer needs the Blue Party, but lacks a replacement for the Blue Prime Minister, so the old man stepped forward and won the victory."

"If you haven't experienced anything, you don't know the difficulties. In the past, the old man was Lan Xiang's deputy, and he didn't know the difficulties of Lan Xiang. Now that I think about it, the second in command is actually the most comfortable. If one person is under ten thousand, he can't stand much hesitation. The sky is falling." There is a tall man standing on top of him, so there is room for both advancement and retreat. But when you are in the top position, there is no such thing as wise and safe."

"Now that Prime Minister Lan has resigned from his post, the old man has become the chief assistant of the cabinet. Da Qi belongs to His Majesty, and the old man is at the helm of Da Qi. There are many things that the old man has nowhere to hide, and there is no reason to escape, so today I invite Mr. Fu Come to the cabinet for a talk."

Fu Zhongtian said again: "Please enlighten me, Mr. Ge."

Han Xuan said calmly: "There is no such thing as right or wrong in this world. Even if there is right or wrong, you don't have to do the right thing, and you don't have to do the wrong thing. There are three realms for a minister, namely: Shunjun Obedient to the people, rebellious to the emperor and obedient to the people, and obedient to the emperor and rebellious to the people, there is no distinction between the three, only because of the current situation. Today, it is impossible to be obedient to the emperor and the people, and we can only choose one of the latter two. "

Fu Zhongtian asked cautiously: "What does Ge Lao mean?"

Han Xuan said softly: "A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peaches and plums, and a lamp for ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes. Since His Majesty is unwilling to do it, then we can only reluctantly do it."

……

After Xu Beiyou and his party left the territory of Runan Mansion, they continued to go north, and when they were about to reach the border of Yuzhou, it was exactly at noon and the sun was rising.

Suddenly, a series of thunderclaps sounded in the clear sky, accompanied by the thunderclaps, a flying sword shot towards Xu Beiyou and others several feet away from the road ahead, and penetrated two feet into the ground.

There is a posture of slashing immediately.

Zhang Baisui looked at the flying sword, and said with a sneer, "The visitor is not kind."

Xu Beiyou stepped out of the crowd and walked towards the flying sword.

Although the sword energy of this sword is strong, but in terms of realm, it is still slightly inferior to Qiuye, Qingchen and others back then, and it is about on par with Murong Xuanyin and others.There are only a handful of swordsman masters in the world today, Xu Beiyou is one, Xiao Shen is one, and there is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun from the Taoist sect.

The swordsmanship of the three can be regarded as coming from the same lineage of the Sword Sect, Xu Beiyou has learned the most comprehensively, Xiao Shen has practiced this way for the longest time, and Bingchen has the highest level of cultivation. It's hard to say which one is stronger and weaker.

Among them, Xiao Shen and Bing Chen still have a master-student relationship. It might be difficult for outsiders to detect the difference in sword intent between the two, but it is not difficult for Xu Beiyou. He said softly: "The person here is from the Taoist sect Taiyi saves Ku Tianzun Bingchen."

Xiao Zhinan frowned after hearing the words. Now that Xu Beiyou and Zhang Baisui are sitting together, Xiao Zhinan doesn't think that a single Bingchen can stop the entire team, and besides Xu Beiyou and Zhang Baisui, in the current team, There are also Xie Suqing who has been hiding for many years, and her Highness Princess Daqi holding the Imperial Seal. If Bingchen comes here alone, even if she has recovered from her injuries and returned to the peak state of the [-]th Floor of the Earth Immortal, it will be the same. It's hard to please.

Unless Bingchen came hand in hand with other Taoist masters, this was what Xiao Zhinan was most worried about along the way. After all, the Daoist sect claims to have thirty great masters, and the most indispensable thing is a master.

Zhang Baisui is an old man who has experienced ten years of competition. He knows the secrets that many young people don't know. The Dao heart was broken, so that the realm stagnated for many years. Later, I was bewitched by Qingchen, leaked the whereabouts of Emperor Taizu, cooperated with Qingchen, and led to the change of Yuqing Palace. In Yuqing Palace, I almost died by accident, but in the end it was a blessing in disguise. I was photographed by the real person Tianchen who went to Yuqing Palace for rescue and taught him the alchemy formula. In the final analysis, I would also like to thank Bingchen. If it wasn't for her, there would be no Zhang Baisui today. "

Zhang Baisui paused, and continued: "Actually, she, like me, should be grateful to the former teacher, the Daoist Tianchen. If the first teacher hadn't abolished her cultivation base of being incomparable, how would she have a chance to stand up from behind?" , how can there be such an elegant demeanor of the eighteenth-floor sword fairy today."

Zhang Baisui looked down at his palm, there was a very faint sword mark on it, and said softly: "When I received her sword on the East China Sea, this woman not only recovered from her injuries, but also had a good cultivation level." So diligent, I have to say that some people have a great fortune. As long as they don't die, they can fight to support the fight, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. Among the few younger generations today, not to mention the emperor's son-in-law, even that Zhao Tinghu has signs of this."

Xiao Zhinan jokingly said: "Can Zhao Tinghu compare to me? I haven't practiced for a day, but I have the realm of the twelfth floor of the earth immortal. Wouldn't it be enviable to everyone in the world."

After hearing the words, Xu Beiyou laughed at himself and said, "Similarly, I am able to have today, in the final analysis, because of the shadows of my predecessors, but since I carry the shadows of my predecessors, I should take up the burden left by my predecessors, this is called the passing of incense. "

At this moment, the edge of the sky was suddenly stained with a layer of purple, and this purple was still expanding rapidly.

Purple Qi is coming from the east.

Xu Beiyou let out a hesitation, stretched out his right hand, and stretched out his five fingers.

The sword box behind him opened by itself, one sword after another came out one by one, hovering in front of him in formation.

The next moment, a purple sword light suddenly lit up hundreds of miles away, sweeping countless purple qi, and flew straight towards the place where Xu Beiyou and others were. At the same time, the purple qi in the sky became more and more intense. , It's all purple and Yingying.

Its momentum is so great that it already has a bit of the purple air coming from the east when Zichen, the old head teacher of the Taoist sect, came down the mountain.

Xu Beiyou reached out his hand again, and held Zhu Xian who was slowly rising from the sword box.
