Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

How high is Lin Lingsu's Taoism?This is actually a difficult question to answer. When Daojun Emperor Zhao Ji met Lin Lingsu, he once asked: "What skills does the Taoist priest have?"

Lin Lingsu's answer was very mysterious: "I know the heavenly palace from the top, the world from the middle, and the underworld from the bottom."

To be honest, in Ximen Qing's view, this sentence is completely like farting, and it has no practical meaning at all.

But Zhao Ji was overjoyed. It was said that Lin Lingsu looked the same as someone he knew before, so he gave him the title "Mr. Tongzhen Daling" and gave him a big gold medal, allowing Lin Lingsu to come and go from the forbidden area at any time. .

Since the last time Lin Lingsu's secret refining of Wushisan was almost uncovered by Ximenqing, he had no choice but to set a fire and burn the Shangqing Baolu Palace to a state of disrepair. The Shenxiao Yuqing Longevity Palace is built in, which shows the favor of Lin Lingsu.

However, the Imperial City Division never stopped monitoring the Shenxiao faction and Lin Lingsu.

With the experience of fighting with Qiao Daoqing, in Ximenqing's view, Lin Lingsu's Taoism may not be able to beat Qiao Daoqing, and it is even worse than Gongsun Sheng.

The last time Ximenqing sent someone to cheat Lei Gongshi, Ximenqing still remembered it; as long as this thing is there, Lin Lingsu has no possibility of winning.

As for how to expose Lin Lingsu, we can only take one step at a time.

However, since Ximen Qing fought with Qiao Daoqing, Lei Gongshi seems to have a new function, that is, it can see through the opponent's mana circulation and strength. This is Ximen Qing's confident trump card.

Lin Lingsu picked a good day. October 25th is an auspicious day for marriage, crowning, offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, praying for heirs, and offering sacrifices.

Although Ximen Qing didn't really believe in these things, when he got up in the morning and looked at it, it was indeed a sunny day. The early winter sun shone warmly on people's bodies, but they didn't feel hot.

The Grand Opening Ceremony is not about opening the gate on the spot, but for everyone to gather and hold a celebration.

Of course, the day before Jia Wang Zhao Kai ordered someone to send a list, which was a bit like a program list, allowing Ximen Qing to know in advance when he would arrive, the dress requirements, when the ceremony would be held, the content of the ceremony, and so on.

King Jia Zhao Kai, as the envoy of the Longevity Palace of Shenxiao Yuqing, entered the palace early to prepare to go; the key point is that the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji will also watch the ceremony, so I can't let Lao Tzu wait for his son.

Crown Prince Zhao Huan did not believe in Taoism, but Buddhism, so he simply did not appear on the list of spectators.

Ximen Qing thinks about it, Zhao Ji's father is really pathetic, he believes in Taoism, but most of his sons believe in Buddhism, so Ximen Qing can understand why Zhao Ji secretly asked him to try every means to persuade King Jia Zhao Kai to convert to Taoism.

The list specifically reminded everyone not to wear official uniforms, but to wear regular clothes; this was a kind of relaxation for Ximen Qing, so he simply put on an ordinary white robe under Pan Jinlian's service, and the appearance was also good Although the white fox fur is not as good as the one-of-a-kind piece that Meng Changjun presented to the King of Qin and later stole it back, it is still very eye-catching.

Ximen Qing was good-looking in the first place, with the jade tree facing the wind, suave and suave, and under the background of the white fox fur, he was even more personable, which made Xueer and other women's eyes straighten when they saw it, and Hua Yuerong clapped her hands in applause.

Just when Ximen Qing was complacent, all the girls bit their ears for a while, and with Pan Jinlian as the head, they said to Ximen Qing: "Master's clothes look good, don't forget to buy one for our sisters too."

Although the white fox fur is expensive, it is not difficult given Ximen Qing's current wealth. When Pan Jinlian said it, she naturally agreed, and all the girls cheered, leaving many lip marks on Ximen Qing's face. Rinse with clean water and wash your face again.

This little episode made Ximen Qing feel more relaxed, humming a little tune, got into the sedan chair, and came towards Donghuamen.

"Bang bang bang bang! bang bang bang bang!"

Lin Lingsu's fate will be reversed today, at the hands of my brother!

Ximen Qing got off the sedan chair from the Donghua Gate, and the officials from the Huang Gate had come to greet him long ago. After walking a few steps, a rich voice suddenly came from behind.

"Is the Ximen Imperial City Envoy in front?"

Ximen Qing was dumbfounded, the vain position of the Imperial City Envoy was won by King Jia Zhao Kai for him, and it only took a few days, ordinary officials still greeted most of them as "Ximen operatives".

Slightly surprised, Ximen Qing turned his head to look, and saw a tall and burly person behind him, wearing a purple uniform; his complexion was dark, his skin and bones were as strong as iron; he was over sixty, his eyes were still piercing, A sparse beard grew on his chin.

When the Huangmen officer next to Ximenqing saw this person, he hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Taiwei Tong."

Seeing this person's appearance, Ximenqing immediately remembered his name, and bowed: "So it's the Taiwei."

The man returned the gift with a chuckle: "The envoy of the imperial city is being polite, but you are here to watch the ceremony today?"

This person is none other than the famous Tong Guan in history.

It is said that Tong Guan is famous because he has repeatedly set records, and he can be said to be the No.1 eunuch since ancient times.

According to Ximen Qingneng's recollection, there are roughly:

The eunuch with the longest holding time since ancient times.

The eunuch with the greatest military power since ancient times.

Since ancient times, the eunuch who has won the highest title in the world.

Since ancient times, he was the first eunuch to represent the country as a foreign envoy.

Of course, since ancient times, eunuchs still have so many beards, and they haven't had the consciousness to shave them off. Instead, they kept them carefully. This is probably the only one.

However, Ximenqing also knew that this Tong Taiwei was not as incompetent as described in the novels of the Water Margin. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and suppressed Liangshan, but was killed and fled back to Bianliang alone; in fact, Tong Guan was deeply trusted by Zhao Ji and guarded the western border. For many years, there were victories and losses. Objectively speaking, Xixia's attack was blocked, and they did not defect to the enemy and misuse the country.

In fact, it was also a few years later that Fang La's rebellion was suppressed by the Tong Taiwei's army.

But Tong Guan's biggest problem in his life was greed for merit. When he fought with the Xixia people, he greedily advanced. Tong Taiwei's last idea was to discuss with Jin Bing, and the Jin army would take down Yanjing, and then redeemed Yanjing for a million coins from the Jin people.

This kind of trick can only be played once. After Jin Bing went south, Tong Guan could not escape with Song Huizong. Once Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he would be used to win people's hearts.

But shouldn't this guy be guarding the line of defense, why did he suddenly appear in Bianliang?

Ximen Qing nodded slightly, and showed some surprise appropriately: "Exactly, why did the Taiwei also come to watch the ceremony?"

"How could a certain family not come on such an occasion?" While laughing, Tong Guan squeezed something in his hand and handed it to the Huangmen officer next to him: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the imperial envoy, if it weren't for Tian Hu and Bai Ying Those rebels were wiped out in time, and a certain family suffered from the enemy, but it was not so easy."

Ximen Qing's eyes were sharp, but Tong Guan casually handed out a jiaozi to the Huangmen official, so he knew that this guy was indeed a bit bold as rumored; the Huangmen official might not necessarily be familiar with him, he just saluted and got a jiaozi ;Looking at the officer from the Huang gate, he saluted Tong Guan with a thousand thanks, but this guy just waved his hand, obviously not paying attention.

"Bai Ying must have news from Xixia. Maybe Xixia will make a big move in the near future." Ximen Qing reminded, and slapped lightly on the way: "The west has not been peaceful, and there is a Taiwei. Keep guard, and the official family will be safe!"

Tong Guan obviously enjoyed this flattery very much, he said it in his heart, he laughed and said: "There is one kind, Erliu, Xixia can't make any big waves, as long as it doesn't suffer from the enemy, what's the matter? On the contrary It’s such a grand opening ceremony, it’s a pity not to come.”

Ximenqing knew that Tong Guan's "one and two Lius" referred to the three generals including Zhong Shidao, Liu Fa, and Liu Zhongwu, all of whom were well-known and feared by Xixia people; The "opening ceremony" returned to Bianliang from the front line to watch the ceremony. The reason is self-evident, because Zhao Ji attached great importance to this "opening ceremony" and came here to flatter.

Ximen Qing nodded and said: "This kind of palace opening ceremony has been rare since ancient times, it's really a pity not to come."

This remark caused Tong Guan to laugh in agreement, and suddenly asked: "Is there a whore in the imperial envoy of Ximen?"

Ximen Qing was taken aback, this guy was too courageous, and he just got acquainted with him, so he suddenly burst into foul language; but seeing Tong Guan's face, he was still smiling, and the Huangmen officer next to him pretended nothing happened, with a smile on his face, Ximen Qing immediately knew that he wanted to go wrong.

"This...of course there is."

Ximen Qing responded casually, and suddenly realized that what this bastard asked was not a "bitch" at all, but a "table word"!

This guy wanted to show how close he was to him, so he asked for his name so that he could call each other!

But speaking of which accent is heavy!

"The next official name is Qing, and the name is Fuxue."

Tong Guan's eyes lit up: "What a beautiful word! What a blowing snow!"

Ximen Qing's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself: "Tong Taiwei, Tong Taiwei, can we remove the word '表'?"

Tong Guan was completely unaware of his accent, and had already made a lot of jokes, he laughed and said: "This early winter season, it fits well with the word Chuuxue Xiandi!"

"The subordinate dare not."

Ximenqing doesn't want to be called "good brother" by the 60-year-old Tongguan. Doesn't this make people old?

"Why don't you dare!" Tong Guan said with a smile: "At present, who can make such military achievements in the court, besides the virtuous brother, who else? The old brother has a nickname called Daofu. Using the nickname, it seems that we two brothers are very close." .”

"Your servant should call Tong Taiwei." Ximen Qing still had a smile on his face, but he even had the intention to kill this guy with Tiangang Wulei rectification method. Whoever calls an eunuch brother and brother is still affectionate!

Tong Guan was a little surprised that this Ximen Qing actually refused in person... If it was another one, he might have hugged his thigh and called him "old brother".

This Ximen Qing is really like in the legend, a little unpredictable, but luck is so good that it is outrageous.

Tong Guan rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle: "As you go! As you go! Seeing that the time is coming, let's go in quickly!"
