The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 430 Taoist Performance
Gongsun Qing took the initiative to come to Weiyang Palace today, which surprised Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty met with Gongsun Qing in Qilin Hall.

Ever since he tested Gongsun Qing at Mount Tai last time, he had completely trusted Gongsun Qing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had previously suspected that Gongsun Qing might be deceiving him. He deliberately told Gongsun Qing at the foot of Mount Tai that he had a dream of assassination.

It was just to verify whether Gongsun Qing had deceived him. If Gongsun Qing was deceiving him, someone would definitely assassinate him. Not to mention the assassination, there would definitely be commotion outside.

But the result was the opposite of what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought.

Naturally, he had no dream of assassination at that time, it was just to test Gongsun Qing.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said to Gongsun Qing: "Do you have anything to do with me, Master Gongsun?"

Gongsun Qing first bowed respectfully, and then said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, there was a warlock from the Western Regions recently who said he had developed an immortal method."

"You are going to visit my Wuliang Taoist Temple tomorrow. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment and said: "Immortal magic? Are you here to compete with me?"

Gongsun Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just an exchange. I haven't seen the secrets of heaven yet, so how can I understand the magic of immortality?"

Gongsun Qing replied to Emperor Wu of Han honestly. He would never pretend to be cool like Li Shaoweng and use stupid methods to deceive Emperor Wu of Han.

Once the method is exposed, the end will be tragic.

Gongsunqing was smarter. He never said that he knew any immortal magic in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He only used his thoughts to cater to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and pursue the idea of ​​immortality and immortality.

No one will ever be able to expose these things.

The only thing Gongsun Qing is worried about may be Jiang Chong. Now the only one who knows his details is Jiang Chong.

Zhao Jieyu is dead, and now only Jiang Chong is there.

It's not that he didn't think about getting rid of Jiang Chong, but he didn't know how many people Jiang Chong had told about his details, so he kept Jiang Chong under control.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay!"

"Then I will go to Wuliangdao tomorrow to have a look. I am very curious about what magic skills this Western Region Warlock knows, haha."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had already determined that the other party might be here to deceive, so he didn't take it to heart.

Gongsun Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave first."

After Gongsun Qing left, Weining happened to bump into him head-on.

Gongsun Qing saluted Weining respectfully and said, "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Weining nodded, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said nothing more.

He didn't have a good impression of Gongsun Qing, but he didn't dislike him too much either. The development of Taoism might not be a bad thing.

But the only thing that worries Weining is whether Gongsun Qing is really taking advantage of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Ning came to the Qilin Hall with his hands behind his back. When he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he asked, "Father, I saw Taoist Gongsun outside just now. Is there anything wrong with him coming to see you?"

A few days ago, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had allocated 100,000 yuan to Gongsun Qing to build Taoist temples and search for ancient books. Who can know how much of this money was embezzled by Gongsun Qing?

This was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's own internal money, and the civil servants of the outer court could not control it. After all, there was no transfer of department accounts.

Weining didn't say anything. He couldn't tell me not to spend money randomly.

He was just worried that Gongsun Qing was greedy and came to ask Emperor Wu of Han for money again today.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "He told me that a magician came from the Western Regions and said he knew the magic of immortality. He asked me to go to Wuliang Taoism tomorrow to see it."

Wei Ning frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Father, I also want to experience the magic of immortality. I might end up like Li Shaoweng, and use some deception to deceive you."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "I didn't take it seriously. He didn't come to deceive me. I just went over to watch the fun."

"Okay, you will come with me to have a look tomorrow morning." Wei Ning nodded and said, "Okay."

He didn't stay at the Qilin Hall for long. After leaving, he went to find Huo Qubing and asked him to organize the imperial army. He would go to the Wuliang Taoist Temple with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning.

Wei Ning got up early, found Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and followed him outside the palace.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at the imperial troops led by Huo Qubing and said, "What are you doing with such a big formation?"

Wei Ning said, "Just in case."

After arriving at Wuliang Taoist Temple, the imperial army surrounded the place to prevent anyone from harming Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Mainly because Wei Ning, a warlock from the Western Regions, didn't know much about him and didn't know his intentions.

Although it was Gongsun Qing who came to tell Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it may not have been the warlock who colluded with Gongsun Qing to murder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Although these things were unlikely to happen, Weining had to be careful.

After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived at Wuliang Taoist Temple, he followed Weining to the backyard of the Taoist temple and found Gongsun Qing.

An old man was sitting next to Gongsun Qing at this time. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived, the old man stood up and said, "Little Renqi, I have met His Majesty the Han Dynasty."

Nowadays, names with only one character are relatively rare. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked suspiciously: "Descendants of the pre-Qin Dynasty?"

During the Warring States Period, human names were relatively random. It was not until the Qin and Han Dynasties that the surname system began to be standardized.

For example, Confucius. Normally, Kong is his surname and Zi is his surname. Confucius should be named Zi.

Qi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty has profound knowledge, and I admire him."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty nodded and said, "Then why did you go to the Western Regions?"

Qi opened his mouth and said: "In order to avoid the war, our ancestors set up an out-of-this-world village in the Western Regions and never heard of worldly things."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said, "You said you know the magic of immortality?"

Qi opened his mouth and said: "The villain knows the magic of immortals because he is taught by the immortals."

"For example, the villain's hands have been enchanted by an immortal to withstand high temperatures."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked curiously: "How can it withstand high temperatures?"

Qi asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "May I ask, Your Majesty, can the oil pan be heated?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Hot!"

Qi opened his mouth and said, "Young people can wash their hands in the oil pan."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't be ridiculous, wash your hands in the oil pan. Do you still want these hands?"

It was true that he had never encountered a warlock deceiving him before, but no one had ever had the courage to use self-mutilation to prove his awesomeness.

Qi calmly said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "Your Majesty, this is the immortal method that the villain said, the method taught by the immortal. I have tried it at home, and nothing will happen to my hand."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still didn't believe it and tried to dissuade him: "Forget it, there is no need to use this ridiculous method to verify the immortality. If something goes wrong, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in no mood and did not want the other party to be harmed.

But Qi insisted: "Your Majesty, the methods of immortals can often do things that humans cannot, so they can be called immortal methods. If ordinary people can do it, then how can we talk about immortal methods?"

"Your Majesty, please trust me and give me a chance. I will show you to Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't resist him, so he nodded and said: "Okay, if you are not afraid of something happening, you can do it."

Wei Ning, who had remained silent, looked at the old man with a half-smile.
