Chapter 1895 A Few Traces of the Cloud

Daqi Linzi, Donghua Pavilion.

It was originally a warm pavilion for resting, but it gradually took on extraordinary significance because today's emperors often read, discuss, and meet with their ministers here.

The emperor sat in court for fifty-eight years. He sat in the Ziji Palace, practiced in the Lu Palace, and studied in the Donghua Pavilion. It was almost a constant practice.

People at that time said: Those who often come in and out of Donghua Pavilion are in the Sacred Heart of the Emperor.

A rickety old man wearing a ragged fur hat and coat, carrying a white paper lantern, walked in unluckily. The golden melon warrior standing at the door seemed invisible.

Han Ling, the head of the internal officials, stood silently beside the emperor.

Li Zhengshu, who is nicknamed "Donghua Bachelor", sat with him unhurriedly.

It was quiet inside the pavilion, with warm lights and only the steady footsteps of the blind old man.

Emperor Qi put down the scroll he was reading, raised his finger, motioned to the palace maid to bring a big chair, and said kindly to the old man: "Thank you for your hard work, sir. Please sit down."

The old man is not sitting.

Carrying the white paper lantern behind his back, he bowed and saluted the emperor: "Although I have received great love from the emperor... But I don't dare to be grand in my clothes."

Emperor Qi didn't force himself, he just sighed and said with some regret: "When was the first time I met you, sir?"

Zhu Sui thought for a while and replied: "This will be your Majesty's first year as crown prince."

"What did you say then?" the emperor asked.

Zhusui replied: "The old minister avoided the table and said that he was patrolling the night with a lantern, and the white paper was ominous."

"Then what did I say at that time?" the emperor asked again.

Zhu Sui said: "Your Majesty said, 'Lights that shine in the long night not only illuminate the underworld, but also show the way forward. Why is it so ominous?'"

Under the warm light, this blind old man talked about the past many years ago. Li Zhengshu didn't know about this, and neither did Han Ling——

"Then His Majesty stretched out your hand and said to the old minister, 'This is Gu's hand.' He turned his palms downward and said, 'This is ominous,' and then turned his palms upwards and said, 'Good luck to the world.'"

Li Zhengshu's handsome face was silent.

To hold down the palm of the hand is a bad omen for the world, to raise the palm of the hand to bring good fortune to the world, what a courage!

When His Majesty was still the Crown Prince of the East Palace, he already had the ambition to dominate the world and had the ability to realize it.

Zhu Sui is the leader of the Daqi Night Watchmen and Watchmen organizations. He is a strong man who has been guarding the Jiang Dynasty since the time of Wu Zu.

In the first year after becoming the crown prince, His Majesty went to see Zhu Sui, and this conversation happened. What does this mean?

It shows that when the emperor was still in the East Palace, in the first year after becoming the prince, he had already taken control of the world, controlled both inside and outside the court, and even the most intimate power of the emperors in the past dynasties began to be taken under his control.

The succession of imperial courts in the past dynasties has inevitably led to bloody events. And it’s no wonder that when the emperor succeeded to the throne, there was no disturbance at all!

What made him even more silent was. He, Li Zhengshu, was known as the "Bachelor of Donghua" and also the "Doctor of Common People". He often sat with the emperor to study, played chess and discussed politics. He was considered one of the emperor's most trusted people.

But he didn't know anything about what Zhusui said.

The heart of the emperor encompasses the universe.

The emperor is like a dragon, with only his scales and half of his claws outside the clouds.

After quietly listening to Zhu Sui's talk about that year, Emperor Qi said with emotion: "I never think of my husband as a bad omen, he is the one who cures bad luck! How can I rest my head without my husband watching the night?"

Zhu Sui lowered his head: "I am scared."

The emperor asked again: "How about Marquis Wu'an?"

Zhusui paused for a moment, cleared away all irrelevant emotions, and then said: "Marquis Wu'an killed Yu Guangyuan, defeated Ao Huangzhong, and invaded the Dingmao realm into a human camp. He chased and killed Aohuang Zhong all day and night. He stopped before the army formed an ambush. On his way back, he took the initiative to attack and joined forces with Qin Zhen in Diao Hailou to repel the Blood King Yu Xinzhou. Later, the Great Prison Emperor Zhong Xi took action and retreated. "

He told Jiang Wang's experience in the Lost World in full without adding any subjective thoughts.

The emperor repeated with satisfaction: "The talented sage Yu Guangyuan, the young famous general Ao Huangzhong..."

He actually accurately stated the characteristics of Yu Guangyuan and Ao Huangzhong.

You must know that he has a vast eastern territory, including Southern Xia, and has a majestic view of the offshore. His territory is more than ten thousand miles away, his subjects are far more than hundreds of millions, and the affairs he has to deal with every day are as big as mountains and seas... yet he can actually deal with any fake king in the Mysterious Realm. All so familiar!

Li Zhengshu was filled with admiration in his heart when he saw the emperor looking over with stern eyes: "Qi Xiao said that Marquis Wu'an's troops were insufficient, of course it was her judgment. But in matters like war, in the final analysis, the outcome still depends on the outcome. Generations of the Li family have been "Jiangmen, what do you think of Zhengshu?"

The issue is dangerously tight.

Either he disobeys the Holy Will, or he collides with Qi Xiao, he still ignores his conscience, and risks the reputation of the Li family as a general for generations.

Smart people never make choices.

Li Zhengshu replied sincerely: "The Li family has indeed been a general for generations, but the Marquis of Destroy the City is my younger brother, not my minister. I have been studying Confucianism since I was a child. As for military strategy... I really can't get in the way."

Although he was not involved in the officialdom, he still held the casual post of Wen Linlang. Because he had the reputation of discussing politics, he could still be called a minister.

The emperor said with a smile: "It's just a small talk, why are you nervous?"

The more relaxed Emperor Qi's tone became, the more serious Li Zhengshu's tone became: "How can we ask laymen about important military and state matters? It's okay for me to play chess and discuss history, but about the military affairs... Oh! I can't speak! Otherwise, I should go and see the soldiers. Who's in the office?"

"You old man!" the emperor cursed. He turned back and looked at Zhu Sui: "Sir, why do you think Zhong Xi took action?"

Zhu Sui said calmly: "He said he received an urgent letter from the blood descendant Ao Huangzhong to stand up for the younger generation."

"Do you believe it?" the emperor asked.

Only then did Zhusui express his thoughts: "Believe half of it."

The emperor's tone was calm: "The tsunami is coming, it depends on how Qi Xiao navigates the boat."

Zhu Sui stood at the foot of the steps, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Sir, do you have something to say?" the emperor asked.

Zhu Sui considered it carefully and said: "Ever since His Majesty delivered the ruins of Kurongyuan, I have been in charge of the Dharma body. For decades, I have never left a step. This time I went to sea, for the sake of Marquis Wu'an, I had to use my top combat power to deal with it. So he said The body, Dharma, and body are in harmony, and they follow the wandering world.

Although the ruins had been swept away before leaving Beijing, it was still difficult to feel at ease.

Now this is just a Sambhogakaya, there are still some omissions in getting a few Xiaoxiao, sitting in Kurongyuan... I might not be able to catch him. "

"Chaocangwu" says: The Dharma body must be combined with the Dao body to achieve the expansion of the Dao.

It is talking about the key steps from Dongzhen to Yandao.

After reaching the level of Yan Dao, the Dao body is practicing all the time. Most of the most powerful people usually only use the Dharma body to walk in the world. Only at the critical moment when life and death is needed, the Dharma body and Tao body are combined to show the ultimate combat power.

Of course, if the Dharmakaya walks alone, it is not strong enough after all, and there is also the risk of being damaged, which is a great evil to the path. The specific circumstances are all up to each person's choice.

As for the Sambhogakaya Zhu Sui mentioned, it was his own magical power. It is not named after the Sambhogakaya, but is simply referred to by him using this Buddhist term.

After listening to Zhu Sui's worries, Emperor Qi just waved his hand: "I am sensible."

Zhusui then bowed and said, "I take my leave."

The Kurongyuan was razed to the ground in the 29th year of Yuanfeng. Time flies, and it is now the fifty-eighth year of Yuanfeng.

A full twenty-nine years have passed, but there are still troubles in Kurongyuan?

As the eldest son of the Shimen Li family, Li Zhengshu knew what happened back then. It’s just that I don’t know how the twenty-nine years passed in the ruins after Kurongyuan was razed.

He looked at his palm prints silently, only listening but not speaking.

The emperor quietly looked at the rickety back of the blind man holding the lantern, and watched him leave Donghua Pavilion.

The tattered coat on Zhu Sui's body hid some warm light. So much so that in this warm spring-like Donghua Pavilion, he also had some ups and downs.

Until the figure disappeared, Han Ling, who stood aside and remained silent, said softly: "Master Zhusui is simple and simple, so his actions are effective. People at night watch like to wear them like this."

This Han Ling doesn't know who is carrying him even if he blows the wind! Li Zhengshu was a little annoyed and looked at the stitching on his sleeves.

I could only hear the emperor saying: "I often think about Wu Zu's heroic strategy."

Just this.

The stitching is really beautiful, the thread is in the hands of a loving mother, and the clothes are on the body of a wanderer!

Li Zhengshu's mother died young, and he was brought up by Mrs. Li since he was a child, and he regarded her as his biological mother. Feeling a little homesick at the moment.

Qi Tianzi sat there in silence for a while, and suddenly repeated softly: "Repulse the Blood King Fish Xinzhou..."

He picked up a memorial next to him and dusted it off with great satisfaction: "When I was in Delu Palace, I asked him how he would repay me. He said that I, the proudest man in the world, could win the most arrogant man in the world, and now my victory reaches beyond the sky."

The emperor has a keen eye for people, and he saw early on that Marquis Wu An was extraordinary, so he was extremely wise.

But...don't miss Qin Zhen!

The Blood King was not defeated by Jiang Wang. He was just a side drum at most. What are you proud of here?

I, Mr. Li, dislike exaggeration the most in my life. Although I have a close relationship with Marquis Wu'an, I cannot bear to show off my reputation and receive false reputation!

The emperor's hand holding the memorial paused in the air, as if waiting for something.

Li Zhengshu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty's words are ridiculous!"

"oh?"

"The Holy Emperor has a vast empire and encompasses all realms. How can he appear alone in this world? From what I can see, the winner of Marquis Wu'an is still the pride of the world, just like the preface of Delu Palace!"

"Jun Yulang, Jun Yulang, this person..." The emperor reached out and tapped his Donghua bachelor, but didn't say anything else.

Then he opened the memorandum in his hand and said, "There is one more thing that you should discuss with me."

Li Zhengshu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, give it a try."

The emperor looked at the memorial and said: "Qi Xiao's comment on Hou Wu'an's military strategy included another sentence, saying that she took action to erase the disaster on Hou Wu'an, but the disaster on Hou Wu'an didn't seem to be serious in the first place... What do you mean by what she said?"

Li Zhengshu did not hesitate this time and replied directly: "Shuai Qi is telling Your Majesty that she already knows about the fact that you asked Lord Zhusui to protect Marquis Wu An."

"anything else?"

Li Zhengshu said: "With Qi Shuai's style, Master Zhusui will definitely be used."

Always by your side, when to protect yourself wisely and when to show your heart. The heat is very difficult to grasp.

There were many ministers who entered Donghua Pavilion, and many accompanied the emperor to play chess and study. Why was Li Zhengshu alone called the "Donghua Scholar"?

That’s also a lot of real skill!

"This Qi Xiao." The emperor was a little helpless: "Does your appetite have that much?"

Li Zhengshu said: "I am not good at military affairs, but I occasionally play with small money. The rich have a rich way of playing, and the poor have a poor way of playing. Usually, the richer the gambler, the more money he can win."

"Qi Xiao wants to use a white paper lantern to light the way forward, wouldn't he put Marquis Wu'an in danger again?" The emperor said: "He came back from the demon world with difficulty and should have rested for a year and a half, but now he hurriedly went to the lost world again. But it’s all my intention.”

Li Zhengshu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

"Come on, the general will have his own opinions outside." Emperor Qi put down the memorial: "Since I have assigned Qi Xiao to military affairs, risking his life and death, and using his courage and strategy, how can I sit in the court and point fingers?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Li Zhengshu shouted loudly.

The Emperor looked over and said, "Then what do you think Marquis Wu An should do?"

Li Zhengshu bowed his head: "I think your majesty has already made plans, I dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor looked out the window, the old osmanthus tree on Fushan Mountain, which was so big that five people could hug it, had not yet seen the autumn colors. He said leisurely: "Yu Shangqing wrote a poem a few days ago, and it was well written."

Li Zhengshu said: "The Peach Blossom Fairy is a romantic figure."

"He has been enjoying the flowers in the garden for more than a year, so he can go out and relax." The emperor said: "He also drank with Wu'an Hou, didn't he?"

Han Ling bowed lightly, and his figure had disappeared in Donghua Pavilion.

…

…

People come and go, and the world remains the same.

When it comes to drinking, only gourmets drink wine, while most vulgar people drink for personal relationships, and some vulgar and indecent people drink for emotions.

Wu'an Hou wanted to have a banquet with his friends, so Dingmao Fudao naturally moved all the cellars, of course it was not much better. But it was strong enough, and it was enough.

Fang Yuanyou came upstairs with a big wine jar in his arms, and just happened to hear his own master casually saying that he had met the Blood King Yu Xinzhou.

His hand trembled, and he almost broke the wine jar.

Fortunately, the whole restaurant was very quiet, and no one noticed him.

"Ah?" Zhu Biqiong was not as good as Zhuo Qingru after all, and she didn't know how badly Jiang Wang was injured. When she heard that it was related to the Blood King, she couldn't hide her panic: "How are you?"

Jiang Wang raised his hand and pressed it, his tone calm and confident: "No problem."

Zhuo Qingru used tea to cover up her shock, and couldn't help but re-examine this great Qi Tianjiao.

But Jiang Wang didn't really lie, just said: "Fortunately, I was with Master Qin at the time, and she helped to block it."

"Which Master Qin?" Zhuo Qingru asked.

Jiang Wang said: "There is no second Master Qin in the world of confusion at the moment."

Zhuo Qingru's eyes flowed, and he glanced at Zhu Biqiong without a trace. The terrifying magical power of the Blood King is not easy to block. Ordinary cultivators will die if they can't even see him. Is it so easy for the real person of Diaohai Tower to help? Especially for a genius of Qi?

Zhu Biqiong breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Qin doesn't care much about worldly affairs, and may not know you well enough... uh, I mean, I mean, she, she..."

Her mood fluctuated too much, and she was tongue-tied for a while. The more she wanted to explain clearly, the more unclear she was, and she was so anxious that she wanted to use the Eight Sounds to Burn the Sea. She was not the indifferent and serious senior sister she usually was.

Zhuo Qingru kindly helped to summarize: "You said her eyesight was not very good, and her heart was blinded by lard."

Zhu Biqiong glared at her.

"When I first came to the maze, someone told me that the human race in the maze are all comrades. Master Qin also thought of this." Jiang Wang took over the conversation: "Fellow Daoist Zhu, do you have any way to contact the sect? Master Qin is injured now, and the Yan King of the Sea Clan is probably chasing her-"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhu Biqiong got up immediately.

Turning around, he saw Fang Yuanyou standing there with a huge wine jar.

He turned around and pulled Zhuo Qingru up: "Senior Sister Zhuo, I don't remember the way, please accompany me!"
