Taoist help me live forever

Chapter 42
The dull time always flies by.

In the early morning of this day, Yu Xian pushed aside a lotus root arm in front of his chest, looking up all the way, he could see a touch of whiteness and a little bit of tenderness.

But he was expressionless and calm as water.

Without it, get used to it.

Yu Xian got up in his cloak, opened the window, and the breeze was blowing, still carrying a trace of dryness at the end of summer, followed by a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus.

It turned out that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard was in bloom, dotted with dark yellow, elegant and fragrant.

Only then did Yu Xian suddenly realize that he had been in the palace for more than a year.

He looked down, and a simple panel appeared in front of his vision.

【Name: Yu Xian】

[Cultivation level: Qi training level nine (18/550)]

[Tao Companion: Magnolia (1/1)]

"It's been more than a year of penance, and it's getting closer and closer to foundation establishment."

The corner of Yu Xian's mouth couldn't help but swayed into a smile, who would have thought that the self who exhausted his savings and came to retire in the ordinary world would make such great progress in such a short period of time.

In the blink of an eye, foundation building is expected.

"I heard that ordinary qi-training monks want to break through the foundation-building realm. If there is no foundation-building pill to protect the body, once the breakthrough fails, none of them will survive. I don't know if I can succeed again?"

Yu Xian didn't know anything about how to build a foundation, he could only say he looked confused.

The information about the Foundation Establishment Pill was that an auction was held in a small town near him, and it was said that a single Foundation Establishment Pill was sold for a high price of tens of thousands of spirit stones.

This group of low-level casual cultivators were envious for a while, talking about what would happen if they got the Foundation Establishment Pill.

The typical plan is to plan how to spend 500 million before buying a lottery ticket.

It would be difficult for him to do some kind of foundation-building pill and foundation-building. He didn't have the money or the courage.

So we can only look at the power of hanging.

After all, the golden finger shouldn't be such an inconvenient thing, and the establishment of the foundation still depends on external things, do you look down on it?

Yu Xian began to think wildly again.

Eunuch Li, who was tall and fat downstairs, came over at some point, and when he saw Yu Xian leaning against the window blowing the wind and admiring the flowers, he was also in a daze, inexplicably familiar.

The last time he came here, Yu Xian was still a heavenly priest who had just entered the mansion, and his reputation had just risen. Now he is the head of the palace, and he can only be his deputy as the head manager.

"Director Yu."

Eunuch Li called softly.

Yu Xian came back to his senses: "Eunuch Li, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Li squeezed out a smile: "Lord Zhai, Lord Cui, and General Di, came to the palace to discuss matters with your majesty, and your majesty asked me to invite you to come too."

"What did they come to discuss with the empress?"

Yu Xian jumped directly from the window.

Eunuch Li was taken aback, but fortunately he calmed down quickly, and said with a wry smile:

"Not long ago, the Guangnan rebel army conquered three cities, and now the army is only less than a hundred miles away from Changning County.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of victims gathered outside the city, and riots may occur at any time.

They wanted to ask the empress to issue a decree in the name of the palace, to escort the king, and order the surrounding cities to send people to defend the city and repel the rebels. "

"The rebels came so fast?"

Yu Xian was surprised.

He still remembered that when he first heard about the chaos in Guangnan, less than a year ago, the rebel army was thousands of miles away from Changning City.

As a result, after such a short period of time, the rebels were not only not suppressed, but also grew stronger, and they all hit the doorstep.

Eunuch Li sighed: "Nowadays there are more and more people following the rebels, and I heard that many cities were not fought much, so the officials who guarded the city volunteered to offer the city.

There are also many masters in the rebel army, some of the main generals were assassinated without knowing it, and they couldn't organize an effective defense at all.

The court's response was slow, and now the rebels are sitting in the three counties in the southeast, which has become a climate, and it is difficult to check and balance. "

"Cough cough, I'm sorry Director Yu, our family has talked too much, Director Yu, please go to see your mother first, your mother is just not sure right now, and I want to ask you for advice."

Yu Xian nodded: "I'll go now."

……

Chamber.

The concubine was sitting behind the curtain with her little prince Jiang Heng in her arms, and there were discussions in front of the three giants of Changning City's military, politics and law.

"Mother, they are so noisy, I want to go out and play."

The little prince, who was only a few months away from turning nine years old, was nestled in the arms of the princess, unable to understand what the adults outside were arguing about.

"Heng'er, you are the prince now, everyone is looking at you, you can't be like a child anymore."

The concubine whispered in her son's ear: "Your master is coming soon, you should be good now."

"Master!"

Jiang Heng's eyes were full of horror, and he touched his butt reflexively.

"Heng'er is good, Heng'er listens to mother."

For this master who had just recognized him for a few months, Jiang Heng was really scared in his heart.

He was also a well-known little overlord in the palace. Whoever saw him had to get two big mouths, and everyone had to give in to him and spoil him.

Only his master.

Master beats people for real.

On the first day they met, the master gave him a candy with a smile, and he slapped him away, and asked the master to lie down and be a horse for him to ride.

Then his butt broke into eight petals.

Jiang Heng remembered that his voice was hoarse from crying that day, and later he complained to his mother, but in the end, his mother spoke for Master.

So he cried and yelled to find his father, and made his mother cry in anger.

Then his eight-petal buttocks turned into sixteen petals, and the pain was so painful that he even forgot to cry.

Then, the master asked that doctor Huang, who smelled like medicine, to apply medicine to his buttocks. It was cold and his buttocks healed quickly.

As a result, he was disobedient the next day and was beaten again.

Jiang Heng recalled the days when he got along with Master, it was simply a history of blood and tears in his ass.

Now that he heard that the master was coming, Jiang Heng straightened his body so that the master would not find a chance to spank him.

In the hall, the debate among several adults came to an end, and a middle-aged official with a beard bowed towards the curtain.

"Mother, the rebel army is close at hand, and the victims have also changed. Please make a decision early!"

The concubine recognized that it was Zhai Run, the governor of Changning County. When the prince was around, he was a respondent, and he did what the prince said.

As a result, just a few days after the prince left, he began to perfunctory the orders of the palace.

The rebel army broke through the city, causing a large increase in the number of victims. Now they flocked outside the city and wanted to enter the city. He actually wanted her to order the dispersal of hundreds of thousands of victims outside the city in the name of the palace.

If you really dare to make such a decision, you will be condemned by thousands of people in the future.

But thinking of the destruction of Changning city, the palace will be the first to bear the brunt. If the victims are not dispersed, the city defense is at risk of falling.

The princess suddenly had difficulty making a decision.

"Cui Changshi, what do you think?"

She looked through the bead curtain at another civil servant in the field, it was Shi Cui Qingyuan, the Chief of the Palace.

Cui Qingyuan cupped his hands towards the princess to show respect.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Master Zhai's words are reasonable, the number of victims is large, if we don't deal with it as soon as possible, it is very likely to cause a civil uprising.

However, violent expulsion is not allowed. It is better to give porridge to appease them first, and then divert them to nearby prefectures and counties in batches. This will also prevent disaster victims from entering the city and causing disasters. "

The princess was immediately moved.

This seems to work fine.

Zhai Run sneered and said, "Master Cui is really kind-hearted, let alone whether the rebels will attack us in the near future, but they just want to give porridge for disaster relief, where does the money come from?

That is hundreds of thousands of victims, not tens of hundreds of people. Even if they are given gruel for one meal a day, at least tens of thousands of shi of grain will be needed.

There is also where the manpower to divert them comes from. Now is the time to employ people, and the defense of the city is not enough. Isn't Master Cui doing this to weaken our defense force. "

"The Yinzi Palace can come out."

The princess almost blurted out.

Prince Fu's Mansion has been running Changning County for many years, and it is really not short of this little money. If she can hold the city, she is willing to pay for a little more.

Even the power of the palace is given up at her will, not to mention a little money, a typical cub who sells his father's land doesn't feel bad.

"Thank you, Madam, on behalf of the people outside the city!"

Zhai Run, who had objected just now, immediately changed his mind. He could at least get [-]% of the money.

"In addition, Cui Changshi has the full authority to replace the edict of the royal palace. This palace is a female stream, with little talent and learning, and you need to rely on a few adults for the defense of the city.

From now on, there is no need to ask Ben Gong about these matters. "

Behind the bead curtain, the princess sighed.

"I'm a little tired, you guys go back."

"Your Majesty is wise, the next official (the last general) will resign."

Several people bowed and bowed, almost unable to hide their joy.

It was a fruitful trip for them.

Not only got the money and food from the palace, but also allowed the princess to completely delegate power. Now the whole Changning City can do whatever they want.

After a few people leave.

The concubine looked at the other side and asked, "Director Yu, why do you want me to agree to them?"

Yu Xian walked out from the shadow, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has no intention of fighting for power, why don't you stay out of it completely and let them make trouble.

If he really can't defend the city in the end, it's also due to his luck, and Yu will be sure to protect Niangniang and Heng'er to leave Changning City. "

The princess froze for a moment, looked at Yu Xian's confident appearance, touched the head of the baby in her arms, and said with her jaw:

"Everything is up to you."
