Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

Feiyu Fairy Palace.

Characters and customs of Baoxiang Kingdom, Lanyue Kingdom and other countries.

and an endless variety of physiques.

Including the fate of Ouyang Pan'an, a butterfly-phoenix body, and so on.

Although Xu Xing did not pay attention to modifying some of his words, with his knowledge, the stories he told were like a storyteller's story. They were told in a interesting way, with ups and downs. In a few simple sentences, he outlined a great world of spiritual practice.

"I didn't expect that Miss Ouyang would also seek immortality like you."

"Emperor Chongming was still in power at that time. Brother Ouyang and I were good friends. One time I went to visit his home and heard rumors that the young lady of the Ouyang family was missing, so I wanted to inquire more..."

"I never thought that Brother Ouyang would also hide this from me."

Academician Su shook his head, looking slightly disappointed.

Thinking of this, although his interest in poetry waned, his poetry flourished. So he took out the tea from the tea cup and wrote on the Eight Immortals table:

"Drinking wine and being gentle with yourself, relationships turn upside down like waves."

"Prime Minister Bai still presses his sword when he knows it, and the wise men of the rich family laugh and flick their crowns."

"The grass is all wet with drizzle, and the flower branches are about to stir in the spring wind and cold."

"There is no need to ask about the floating clouds in the world. It is better to lie down high and eat more."

After Xueshi Su finished writing the poem, he felt depressed. He shouted to the waiter and ordered a plate of beef offal and a plate of braised pork ribs.

If you don’t write poetry, you don’t write for the rich and powerful.

Poetry, the official path of the imperial examination, is no longer regarded as a means of making profit.

A literary giant like him, who speaks well, does not need to deliberately compose poetry, but can write articles casually and skillfully.

At this time, he was composing poems over tea at the Eight Immortals table. He regarded Xu Xing as a friend, rather than the aloof Emperor Tiande and other powerful people. Therefore, this poem is written naturally, and there is no fear on the face at all.

"Zai Zhi Ouyang, you have been an official for a long time after all."

Seeing this, Xu Xing shook his head.

Ouyang Pan'an entered Feiyu Immortal Palace more than three years earlier than him. Not long after he occupied Guanxi Road, Ouyang Pan'an was taken away by the transfer envoy from Feiyu Immortal Palace and entered the sect.

And a big living person disappeared in vain...

Xuexi Su and Ouyang Shuda are close friends. They have known each other for a long time. Xuexi Su and Ouyang Pan'an also know each other. Seeing that Ouyang Pan'an was missing, Xuexianshi Su naturally wanted to ask a few questions.

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Shuda deceived Master Su once.

According to the regulations of Feiyu Immortal Palace, what Ouyang Shuda did was certainly excusable. But Xuexiang Su and Ouyang Shuda have known each other for many years, and it is inevitable that they will be deceived and feel disappointed.

"Master Xu..."

"My niece is not bad in nature. You should be more tolerant of her. I remember that when she was sixteen years old, she said something, marry a general in war and marry a scribe in prosperity. She is also a strange woman."

The poems disappeared as the tea dried up.

Xuexiang Su suddenly realized the trouble he might cause to the Ouyang family after writing the poem, and quickly added a sentence in an attempt to regain Xu Xing's feelings about the Ouyang family.

After all, they are family friends.

A single thought from the emperor may end the Ouyang family's career in Tiande.

And with Xu Xing's current position in Feiyu Immortal Palace, even if he just expressed a casual attitude and had a slight tendency, it would be enough to make Ouyang Panan's life difficult.

This kind of thing is not a fantasy.

It is not uncommon for the likes and dislikes of the superior to cause the destruction of the family of the inferior.

Although he was dissatisfied with Ouyang Shuda for hiding it from him, he didn't want the younger generations of the Ouyang family and Ouyang Pan'an to be implicated in this matter.

"She is a strange woman."

Xu Xing nodded and praised.

While talking.

The teahouse waiter carried a mahogany lacquered plate and served a plate of beef offal ordered by Xuexiang Su, as well as a plate of braised pork ribs. Both dishes are tough dishes. The beef offal is covered with a layer of chili sauce, and the braised pork elbow is also stewed until tender. A large spoonful of gouda is poured on the bottom of the plate, and some red and white shreds are sprinkled on it.

The two began to eat.

Although eating whole grains will affect your spiritual practice, just one meal is not harmful.

What is taboo in practice is that daily eclipses of ordinary things will affect your practice.

The sun goes up to noon.

It took about a quarter of an hour to eat.

Two plates of meat dishes and a pot of spiritual tea were all eaten by the two of them.

"Store..."

"Settling accounts."

Scholar Su took out a brass teething stick from his cuff and put his right leg on the long bench. He is very similar to the leper on the street, and not at all like a great writer with a world-wide reputation.

"I, Mr. Su, can still afford to pay for a meal for Mr. Xu."

"You treated me to several meals in prison."

"I've already repaid the favor, but I don't want to owe it again."

"Of course, the money paid to me as a storyteller by the Night Watch Division is not considered as money owed to you. After all, I also made up stories for you and boasted about you for a while. It's rewarding for your hard work."

Seeing that Xu Xing was about to get up and pay the bill, Xuexiang Su stopped Xu Xing.

He took a brown money bag from his belt.

This brown money bag is about the size of a fist, the mouth of the bag is tightly tied, and there are bulges inside. Then Academician Su picked up the opening of the money bag and shook it to show that he had money.

When copper coins collide, they sound like silver bells.

"No more debt!"

Xu Xing nodded, stood up, bowed to Xuexiang Su, and then strode out of the teahouse.

The two met over a meal.

And friends are gone...

It should also be a meal.

This mortal encounter was just a chance encounter. Logically speaking, neither the emperor nor the immortal would pass by Fangshikou and listen to the nonsense of a storyteller.

Xia Yu in Shenjing.

I don’t know when it came. At first, it was a drizzle like ox hair, but before I could wait for a few breaths, the rain crackled on the bluestone street. The wind and rain kept coming.

Rain curtains were hung on the eaves of the teahouse.

When the wind blows, it dances like a silver snake.

The sky turned yellow and dark, and my slow footsteps stopped on the eaves of a three-story wooden building beside the road. The drizzle of rain fell on him and was blocked by the invisible air shield. Then it gathered into water flow and flowed into the channel along the street along the roof tiles.

Soon, Scholar Su blocked the rain with his big sleeves in one hand and ran out of the teahouse in a hurry, holding a "Storytelling" flag strung with a bamboo stick in the other hand.

However, the rain on the roadside was too heavy.

Not long after he blocked it, he was soaked all over.

He simply stopped shielding himself from the rain and walked slowly step by step with a bamboo stick in hand.

The streets and alleys here are bustling markets, and the bluestones on the roads have long been rubbed smooth by the soles of people's feet. When it rains, it becomes even more slippery. After walking for a while, Academician Su accidentally jumped up and fell to the ground.

"The world calls me the Immortal of Poetry..."

"I laugh and others can't see through it."

"Heavy taste, heavy salt and heavy spices, fat chicken and beef offal."

Academician Su laughed wildly and spoke incoherently.

Thunder roared incessantly.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky.

Following the lightning, there was also an escaping light. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ

…

…

Shenjing, the imperial palace.

Palace of Eternal Life.

The sky outside the palace was dark, but inside the palace it was brightly lit.

In the corridor, rows of long-bright lamps are lit.

After finishing the government affairs, Zhao Yunniang took a phoenix chariot and came to the Palace of Eternal Life despite the dissuasion of the palace officials.

"Empress..."

"It takes just one day's work."

"If Your Majesty knew about Your Majesty, you would feel sorry for Your Majesty instead of blaming Your Majesty. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs and has to come to the Hall of Eternal Life every day to pray for Your Majesty... As time goes by, Your Majesty's body and bones will not be able to bear it. "

The person accompanying Feng Jia was not anyone else, but Xiulan, Zhao Yunniang's former confidant.

After Zhao Yunniang was canonized as queen, Xiulan's status also increased. She first became the steward of Kunhua Palace and a third-grade female official. Later, after Zhao Yunniang became the regent, Xiulan also became the chief steward of the harem. Her official position was the second-rank internal secretary. This position was comparable to the ministers of various ministries in the court.

"The corridor is slippery, just in case..."

Xiulan opened the curtains of Fengjia and gave another advice.

"No need to say more."

Zhao Yunniang is sitting upright in Fenghu, her posture is graceful and luxurious, and her phoenix eyes are more majestic than before. Her voice was soft and soft, and no emotion could be heard from it. But after these words, the female officials nearby lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say anything. They just followed Feng Hu silently and walked towards the Palace of Eternal Life.

In the third year of Tiande's reign, Emperor Tiande complained of illness and could not see his officials.

Later, in the fourth year of Tiande's reign, Zhao Yunniang ordered craftsmen to open up the northwest corner of the palace and build a palace, naming it the Palace of Eternal Life. The name of the palace, as the name suggests, is to make Emperor Tiande immortal and stay in the world forever.

The Hall of Eternal Life is divided into multiple halls dedicated to different gods and Buddhas.

This is a prayer for Emperor Tiande.

Not long after, Feng Chu stopped outside the Changsheng Palace.

A famous palace lady filed in and lit the candles in each hall of the Changsheng Palace. In the pitch-black Palace of Eternal Life, within a moment, the lights shot straight into the sky, illuminating most of the palace walls.

"His Majesty……"

"Ms. Yun is here to see you."

Entering the palace, Zhao Yunniang retreated from the female officials and palace maids around her, leaving only Xiulan by her side. She knelt on a futon in front of a bed of eucalyptus, with tears in her eyes as she spoke her mind.

"Today Yu Ci, the Minister of Punishment, once again launched an attack, saying that the Palace of Eternal Life is a waste of people's wealth and anointing, and demanded that the lights of the Palace of Eternal Life be abolished. The reason is that the Heavenly Family should be frugal to serve as a model for all people..."

"But I know that what Yu Ci wants is not the Tian family's frugality, but seeing that Your Majesty has not come out for a long time, and wants to force him into the palace. Closing the Palace of Eternal Life is an excuse for him to force us, mother and son, to abdicate."

She twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hands, crying and wiping her tears.

Even though she has some backup skills left by Xu Xing.

But now the imperial court is still fighting but not breaking.

Not to the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken.

The officials of the imperial court were cutting flesh with soft knives, instead of forcing her and Xu Zhang to abdicate openly with hard knives. And no matter how good she is, the queen's involvement in politics is not justified.

It's okay to act temporarily, but if you always listen to politics behind the curtain...

How can all the people in the world obey her?

The empress dowagers of all dynasties relied on filial piety and righteousness to listen to politics behind the curtain. The emperor is the master of the young, and the mother listens behind the curtain and takes charge of the country's affairs temporarily. There is no reason to criticize. But the queen was a little worse after all.

"Zhang'er doesn't make any progress either."

"Even if I want to give up power to him, he can't accept it. A few days ago, Zhang'er had a quarrel with me, saying that he wanted to take charge... Zhang'er is sixteen years old..."

"Once Zhang'er takes charge, he will definitely change the Yuan Dynasty and the dynasty."

"Wouldn't this mean that Your Majesty has passed away..."

"His Majesty……"

Zhao Yunniang fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

regent…….

Her son complained that she was in charge of too much, and all the officials hated her.

The court forced her, her parents and children forced her, and she ended up with all the enemies in the world. And all she wanted to do was to protect the family fortune left by Xu Xing and prevent it from perishing in her lifetime.

It's not that she doesn't want to leave the country in Xu Zhang's hands, but Xu Zhang hasn't become a great person yet. There is no way he can plot against the vassal king surnamed Xu and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Moreover, Xu Zhang's taking over the throne means that Xu Xing "died". By then, these outsiders will no longer have any scruples, and the emperor may lose his country in this short moment.

With Xu Xing, Emperor Tiande, as his wing, the vassal king surnamed Xu was his wing, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were loyal ministers.

But after Emperor Tiande died, it was hard to say!

"Empress..."

"Grief hurts the body."

"The empress's body is bound to the country, so her body must not be damaged."

Seeing that Zhao Yunniang was heartbroken, Xiulan hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Yunniang and began to persuade her.

Xiulan knew that what made Zhao Yunniang heartbroken was not the pressure of officials, but Xu Zhang's ignorance.

How could Zhao Yunniang, a woman, take away this beautiful land?

Xu Zhang was the only son of Zhao Yunniang and the only son of Emperor Tiande. As long as Xu Zhang keeps to himself, when the time comes, the position of emperor will naturally fall into Xu Zhang's hands.

But Xu Zhang's persecution greatly hurt Zhao Yunniang's mother-in-law's heart.

"Xiulan, I know."

Zhao Yunniang wiped away her tears and sighed: "This is a joke for you."

"My dear, please don't say that..."

Xiulan quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is also a human being. She works hard outside. When she returns home, she will naturally cry to His Majesty. Your Majesty's cowardice is only for Your Majesty, not Xiulan."

After many years in the palace, Xiulan, a servant girl, also learned to be sweet-tongued.

"That makes sense."

Zhao Yunniang nodded slightly and agreed with Xiulan's remarks.

Then, she warned: "If the prince asks you for some information, you must remember not to tell him. He has made many bachelors in the East Palace. Although these people are all talented people, the prince is not as good as his father, the prince." If there are too many, it will be difficult to control them. On the contrary, they will be induced by these bachelors to do wrong things."

After staying with Xu Xing for several years, Zhao Yunniang also learned some of Xu Xing's ways of doing things. ,

We know that it is too narrow to judge officials based only on loyalty, traitor, good and evil. Although some officials are more inclined to be loyal or treacherous ministers, as long as they know how to serve their subordinates, such treacherous ministers can also be loyal ministers...

Therefore, she did not rush to dismiss the ministers in Prince Xu Zhangdong Palace, but only gave Xiulan a few words to prevent the affairs in the palace from being leaked.

"Everything is well organized."

"Mother Yun, I chose you to be my queen, and I made the right choice!"

When Xu Xing, who was standing on the beam, heard the words, he jumped down and praised him. When he left the outer city for the palace, he did not meet Zhao Yunniang directly, but first inquired about some palace news.

When she learned that Zhao Yunniang was going to the Palace of Eternal Life to pray for him.

He stood on this beam, waiting for Zhao Yunniang to come.

Every word Zhao Yunniang said fell into his ears.

Including the treatment of Prince Xu Zhang...

If the East Palace team is abolished, it will prove that the queen Zhao Yunniang is really ambitious to control the government. Instead of abolishing the East Palace team, it proves that Zhao Yunniang is only temporarily holding power on behalf of Xu Xing and Xu Zhang. When the time is right, she can return the power to Xu Xing and Xu Zhang.

The words fell.

Zhao Yunniang and Xiulan were surprised at first, and then hurriedly bowed down to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"Why are you here?"

After Zhao Yunniang saluted, her pink face turned a little red.

Xu Xing happened to hear her confide in her heart. No matter how much she had gone through ups and downs, she was still unfazed by favors and humiliations, but now she was in a state of embarrassment. But she was Xu Xing's wife after all, and after a moment of shyness, her expression became normal.

"I have achieved some success in the immortal world, so I return to the mortal world to see my relatives."

Xu Xing did not hide the truth from Zhao Yunniang and told the truth.

"this……"

After Zhao Yunniang heard these words, she was immediately disappointed.

She could hear the implication of Xu Xing's words.

This time I only returned to Fengxi Country temporarily. After visiting relatives, Xu Xing will return to the Immortal Sect instead of staying in the secular world.

"Zhang'er just made a mistake in doing things temporarily."

"He still has a good heart."

Suddenly, Zhao Yunniang remembered what she had just said, so she quickly explained to Xu Xing to restore Xu Zhang's image in Xu Xing's mind.

Unfilial piety is a grave sin!

Don't say that the emperor's family, even the common people's family, will not tolerate unfilial sons.

"It's a small thing."

Xu Xing waved his hand without paying much attention.

He has more emotions for Zhao Yunniang than for Xu Zhang. After all, Zhao Yunniang and him were close to each other and spent a lot of time together. Xu Zhang spent very little time with him.

During the three years in Kansai Road, he practiced in seclusion.

In the three years after capturing Shenjing, he also practiced in seclusion.

There is no time to take care of this son at all.

In addition, Xu Zhang's "rebellion" and "unfilial piety" are not the basic qualities of an emperor. If an emperor doesn't even dare to have this idea, how can he rule the world?

Is an emperor without any ambition still considered an emperor?

But... Even so, in Xu Xing's heart, he was still dissatisfied with Xu Zhang. It's just that he doesn't have much father-son affection for Xu Zhang, so he suppresses this dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Xiulan..."

Seeing that Xu Xing was deep in thought, Zhao Yunniang quickly winked at Xiulan and asked Xiulan to exit the palace and not to disturb her and Xu Xing in the palace.

Just now, she saw that Xu Xing had a hint of lust for her.

"Yes, concubine."

Xiulan realized later, exited the Hall of Eternal Life and closed the door.

…

It's not tea time.

In the Hall of Eternal Life, Yan Hao's voice came.

A group of palace maids waiting outside the palace suddenly looked surprised, with an inexplicable look on their faces.

They glanced at each other and realized what they were thinking.

No wonder the queen came to the Palace of Eternal Life in such a hurry. It turned out that she was in the Palace of Eternal Life...

Why didn't they notice it before?

"Be bold!"

"Come here, pull these people down and slap them."

Xiulan, who is a second-grade female official in the internal affairs department, has been in the palace for a long time, so she doesn't know what these palace ladies are thinking about. With an angry look on her face, she directly ordered the punishment of these maids.

Although the crime of abdominal slander is harsh, if these palace ladies really talk nonsense.

No matter how innocent the queen is, there will inevitably be dirt on her body.

In addition, punishing them as soon as possible is also good for low-level palace ladies like them. If rumors really spread, these palace ladies will definitely lose their heads.

"Lord Nei Si, please spare my life..."

The maids knelt down and begged for mercy.

But not long after, a group of female officials took them to another palace and imposed punishment.
