Zuodao Changsheng: I can transfer the price

Chapter 23 Don't ask the common people
In the 16th year of the Yongli calendar, on the third day of April, at the Meridian Gate of the imperial city.

Yushi Zhongcheng Zhong Yunyi, knelt on the stone steps, his tongue was bright and thunderous, and his words were heroic: "The imperial court is spending too much, the government is rampant in corruption, the people are in dire straits, the sky is angry and the people complain, disasters and famines continue for years, and wars are frequent."

"Now the national treasury is empty, but His Majesty wants to build the Ziyang Taoist Palace, and thunder and fire are sent down from the sky in anger. This is a warning from the sky!"

"Severe drought in the north, great floods in the east, and earthquakes in the west, this is the unfavorable location!"

"In the southern provinces, farming has been converted to mulberry, food prices have skyrocketed, victims of disasters have changed their sons to eat each other, and rebel uprisings have emerged one after another. This is unharmonious!"

"The sage said: the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. If all three are lost, the country will be in danger!"

The words were passionate and echoed throughout the center of the Meridian Gate.

Zhong Yunyi raised his head and looked into the imperial city, but there was no movement from the high gate.

A group of eunuchs came out from the side doors on both sides, the leader blushed with anger, and pointed at Zhong Yunyi with trembling fingers: "Who taught you to say these things to the Holy One?"

Zhong Yunyi disdained to be with eunuchs, his body was full of righteousness, as if he was about to burst out again.

Seeing that Zhong Yunyi refused to enter, Zhang Changshi sighed helplessly, took the imperial decree from the little eunuch behind him, and proclaimed sharply: "Zhong Yunyi, the imperial censor, slandered the superiors and attacked the government. The court staff is twenty, and I will think about my mistakes after being dismissed!"

"Zhong Zhongcheng... No, it's Mr. Zhong. We admire you as a great Confucian, but you really shouldn't slander Your Majesty. Your Majesty has not closed his eyes for several days because of state affairs. Such behavior is really not like a minister."

"These twenty court rods, I hope you can understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts in them!"

Zhong Yunyi didn't resist at all, and let the eunuch pin him down on the ground, his eyes were lost and his face was pale.

Zhang Changshi beat Zhong Yunyi fiercely with his court stick, and there was a look of joy on his face.

The next day, Zhong Yunyi was disheartened and wrote a letter begging for the bones.

The emperor granted permission, but ordered Zhong Yunyi to enter the palace for a narrative before saying goodbye.

That night.

"Does Zhong Qing have any regrets?"

The emperor was wearing a gorgeous Taoist robe, sitting on the dragon bed, with a completely lazy posture.

"The guilty minister dare not, the minister is old and overwhelmed, I hope His Majesty will allow you to return home when you are old."

Zhong Yunyi's lips were pale, and he recited these words without any emotion.

"Hmph, why don't I know what you said? But is it all my fault? If all the officials are thinking about how to be considerate of state affairs and avoid corruption and perverting the law, how can the situation be so corrupted!"

The emperor scolded coldly.

Zhong Yunyi's lips trembled, and he said: "Your Majesty has ignored the government for more than ten years..."

"Bold!"

Zhang Changshi shouted suddenly from the side.

The emperor raised his hand to signal Zhang Changshi to be quiet, and then said: "I also have my own difficulties. I also know that Zhong Qing is dedicated to serving the country and the people, but the situation is like this. I can only use those treacherous and loyal people. I feel wronged and wronged Zhong Qing."

Zhong Yunyi closed his eyes in pain, the world is filthy, and it is his fault to be awake alone.

The emperor sat up straight, but asked another question in a soft voice: "How far is Zhong Qing from the holy master of the third realm?"

Zhong Yunyi sneered and said: "If you don't have a clear mind, you won't be able to reach the realm of a holy teacher in your old age. If you have a clear mind, you can become a holy teacher sooner or later."

The emperor closed his eyes and sighed: "Except for Zhong Qing, there is no one in Confucianism who can step into the second realm."

"Those who are treacherous, or straight, if they can enter the great Confucianism, Confucianism will perish." Zhong Yunyi laughed.

The emperor nodded slightly, looked at Zhong Yunyi again and said, "Zhong Qing sees if I have a chance to enter the Supreme Realm?"

Looking at the hopeful emperor, Zhong Yunyi didn't speak.

"Okay, you go down, give Zhong Yunyi a hundred gold, and five pieces of silk and satin."

After Zhong Yunyi left, the emperor sighed desolately.

"Zhang Ren, go ask Prime Minister Song how the deal with the West is going."

"Weiwei!"

……

On April [-]th, Juzi finally brought Lin Shou his first prey, a boa constrictor in the [Enlightenment] state.

This boa constrictor is also a fairy, and Lin Shou refined it without much effort.

On the altar in the body, the [Wooden] stele was once again filled by one-fifth, reaching two-fifths in total, and the amount of true energy went up to a higher level.

He also got another spell, [Looking at Qi], which can detect people with good luck.

With that [Sealing Luck Technique], Lin Shou's practice in the second realm can be regarded as a clue.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Shou walked on the street refreshed and went to a tea shop to have some breakfast.

Seeing the continuous flow of passers-by on the street, all walking in one direction, Lin Shou was a little puzzled, and called Lao Liang.

"What day is it today, why are you running there?"

Lao Liang looked at Lin Shou's remaining pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, picked one up and put it in his mouth with a smile.

"Today, April [-]th, is the Jade Spring Festival, and we all go to Chenghuang Temple to burn incense."

Lin Shou nodded to express his understanding, and said, "It's interesting. Pindao has never been to the Temple of the City God, so he should see it."

Lao Liang smiled and said, "Daozhang Lin really should go to pay his respects. Your house is indeed somewhat evil. Those two brats told me, but I still don't believe it, but it seems that Daochang Lin is really a master. pay a visit to."

Lin Shou smiled lightly, he went to pay respects to the City God, could the City God stand it?

But he still said: "Then I will sweep the couch to welcome you."

"By the way, Lin Daochang, what do you sell in your shop? If it's a talisman or magic weapon, I can still support it."

Old Liang narrowed his eyes, and he had his own scrutiny. The people who lived in it safely had never lived for five days, but Lin Shou lived in it for half a month, but he was safe and sound. It seems that he has some real skills. Buy a few amulets It can also be regarded as peace.

Lin Shou chuckled, "It's better not to flatter you, Pindao sells coffins."

Old Liang choked suddenly, then smiled and waved his hands: "Then I really can't praise you, hahahaha."

Lin Shou laughed loudly, stepped out of the tea shop, followed the flow of people, and walked towards the Temple of the City God.

Lin Shou used the [Qi Wang Technique] all the way, but found that most people had plain white luck above their heads.

The few green ones are all rich and noble families in Chinese clothes.

Lin Shou was not discouraged, after all, there are so many people with great luck.

Looking at the Town God's Temple, there are a few thin green clouds and a blue cloud inside.

Lin Shou guessed that the blue cloud should be the City God, and the others were all ghosts.

Outside the Town God's Temple, there was a crowd of people, and Ri Youshen stood aside, with a smile on his face finally.

But at this moment, Ri Youshen's face froze, and he saw an unexpected figure.

From a distance, Lin Shou saw Ri Youshen smiling and cupping his hands, and walked into the Temple of the City God.

The people next to him saw Lin Shou clasping his hands in front of an open space, they were startled, and hurried away with their companions.

There was a constant flow of people in the main hall of Chenghuang Temple, those in front burned incense, and those behind urged.

Most of these people worship the God of Wealth, the God of Sending Children and the like.

But Lin Shou could see it naturally, the lingering fragrance finally floated into the statue of the City God, and then distributed evenly to the body of the City God's Yin Division.

He is a good city god, Lin Shou commented in his heart.

Seeing that today is a very fruitful day for Chenghuang Temple, Lin Shou decided not to disturb the other party, and chose another time to inquire about the Lin family's extermination.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw a side hall, which did not enshrine the God of Wealth, etc., but a statue of a Confucian saint was erected alone.

In the side hall, there was a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe, looking at the statue alone and muttering to himself.

"Poor at midnight, I don't ask people to ask ghosts and gods."

Lin Shou was a little curious when he looked at the aura of righteousness lingering on the other party. He had never seen a Confucian monk before.

Applying the Zhanwang Qi technique, purple clouds hovered over this person's head, Lin Shou's face was filled with joy, isn't the person with great luck coming?

Walking into the side hall, Lin Shou smiled and asked, "Your Excellency is from the capital?"
