Chapter 743: The Emperor’s List Spreads All over the World, and the Heart Is Restless

"Absurd, ridiculous."

Three nights later, Yu Ziye was sitting at the door of his study drinking, and while drinking, he kept saying some ridiculous things.

The publication of "Four Seas, Mountains and Rivers" is undoubtedly shocking, and the most shocked person is obviously the Dayong Emperor, but the direction seems to be a bit wrong. At this moment, his desire for immortality and immortality is also aroused in his heart.

In other words, today's Emperor Dayong is used to living a life where he can get whatever he wants. Today, he is more eager for the elusive immortality, especially when his health has been deteriorating in recent years.

In the small court meeting two days ago, which was the morning after the Qintian Supervisor Sima Xiao had finished talking with the emperor, the emperor directly stated that he wanted to announce to the world that he wanted to post the emperor's list.

But the emperor's thoughts at that time were different from the day before. Not only did he post an imperial list to invite the Heavenly Master to come back, he also planned to recruit talented people from all over the world to share the emperor's worries. Will be drawn up on it.

During the Lingzong period, the world was in turmoil, and the announcement of the imperial list could still attract many capable people.

Nowadays, the world is peaceful and prosperous, and the current emperor, who realizes that he has made extremely high achievements in civil and military affairs, certainly believes that more capable people and strangers will come!

How could the officials not understand what the emperor meant? It was so sudden. Even Yu Ziye, who had been well prepared, thought it was ridiculous at the time, let alone others.

The factional struggle between the DPRK and China is now very cruel, but when the emperor's proposal came out, a group of officials headed by Shangshu Zuopushe immediately opposed it, while officials from another group took advantage of the situation and suppressed it.

A dispute in the court had no result, but what the emperor had determined could not be changed. On the contrary, it was the officials of the old chief minister who made the emperor really angry.

Although Yu Ziye's official position is one of the three departments of rites, officials, and households under Zuopushe's charge, he has always been considered by the officials to be biased towards another department. He should be happy, but obviously he is not happy.

The last bit of wine was poured into the cup, and then Yu Ziye drank it all in one gulp. Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, he raised the wine bottle high and then let go.

"Pa~~"

The wine bottle was smashed to pieces.

Yu Ziye, who was already leaning on the chair and half drunk, squinted his eyes and looked at the ground, seemingly looking at the wine bottle, but in fact his heart was not there. He knew that the balance in the court, the balance he had tried to maintain over the years, had been broken.

"Prime Minister Chu. The lower officials are incompetent."

The servant, who was startled by the sound of the wine bottle breaking, came over and saw Yu Ziye already sleeping on the chair.

After a while, the servants found Mrs. Yu. She arrived in front of the study door and saw Yu Ziye covered with a big cloak. She couldn't help but sigh and shook her head.

"Take him back to your room."

It's not like Mrs. Yu has never seen someone like this before, but as soon as it gets light the next day, everything will be as normal for her husband.

Sure enough, this time was no exception. In the early morning of the next day, Yu Ziye became the same as before, as if everything yesterday was no trouble. Of course, he couldn't change anything immediately.

——

Once the emperor's decree was issued, it was sent to all parties step by step. How fast the envoys from the capital traveled, how quickly the imperial list spread.

In less than twenty days, the imperial list had been posted on several notice walls at the gate of Mingzhou City. The content was very simple, with two main points.

The first point: The examples of various merits and virtues of Heavenly Master Dayong and the various compliments on him show that the emperor is aware of these merits and wants to reward Heavenly Master highly. At the same time, he also hopes that Heavenly Master can relieve your worries, and Some other reasons include strange dreams at night and sadness in my heart. In short, I just hope that the Heavenly Master will return to Beijing.

The second point: Recruit all the wonderful people from all over the world to share your worries with you. Anyone who has the skills to prolong life and stay in good looks may even be able to obtain the wonders of immortality. Those who may pray for the emperor to bless the world will enjoy glory, wealth, and be canonized by the emperor. You can even establish a religion and preach

The notice was posted early in the morning, and Tan Yuanshang's old servant returned to the Mo family about a quarter of an hour after the notice was posted, and told his master who was still here.

At this moment, in the dining hall in the early morning, there was not only Tan Yuanshang, but also Mo Yiming and the children and grandchildren of the Mo family.

When they heard the old servant clearly repeating the contents of the imperial list, everyone present showed expressions of astonishment.

Mo Congxian couldn't help blurting out a sentence.

"Your Majesty, are you going to seek immortality and pray for immortality? Isn't this the ancient Hunjun's favorite thing to do?"

Mo Congxian didn't realize what he had said as soon as he said it, and quickly covered his mouth. However, there were all understanding people in the room, so he was obviously not the only one who thought this way.

"well"

Mo Yiming sighed and said nothing, while Mo Xiaorong scooped porridge from the porridge basin for his father.

After finishing talking about the imperial list, the old servant of the Tan family added another sentence.

"The official is repeatedly reading out the contents of the imperial list to people passing by. I guess it's not just Mingzhou."

Tan Yuanshang couldn't help but sneer.

"What Second Master Mo said is right. This is what Hunjun liked to do most in ancient times. It's almost the same today!"

Mo Congxian was sweating profusely on his forehead.

"Mr. Tan, don't say this nonsense. I just made a mistake."

Tan Yuanshang glanced at Mo Congxian with a smile, shook his head and said.

"As the Son of Heaven, I am summoning you and I hope Master Qi will return to Beijing as soon as possible to face the Holy Spirit. Even if Master Qi is still in the world, I'm afraid it won't work."

No matter how much whitewashing or euphemism the first item on the imperial list contains, it can be expressed in a straightforward manner, which is exactly what Tan Yuanshang meant.

This is really absurd, but compared to the first point, the second point is even more absurd.

"But this second item. After all, it was Emperor Dayong who issued the decree. I'm afraid there are many people in the world who are following it like ducks."

Mingzong and Wuzong can be said to be the two emperors of Dayong, and the foundation they laid for Dayong is too solid and heavy.

Today's Dayong may not be as good as before in terms of officialdom, and there are many dirty things in the world, but the background is still there. For many years, all the peaceful countries in the world have come to the dynasty, and they are already the dynasty of heaven. The dynasty is more powerful than before. and.

As the Emperor Dayong, who holds the power in the world, once the imperial list comes out, there will definitely be no shortage of people in the world who will respond, whether they are deceivers or people with real abilities.

"well!"

Tan Yuanshang also sighed. Not to mention him, even the Mo family could already imagine the smoky scene.

Just as Tan Yuanshang said, when the Imperial List is posted all over the world, everyone who sees it will talk about it, but there are only a few people who are moved by it, and there are also a few who take action.

But what Tan Yuanshang doesn't know is that in the eyes of some beings, apart from the so-called glory and wealth, the weight of the four words "canonized by the emperor" is heavy.

The emperor did overestimate himself, but Emperor Dayong's imperial list would not be underestimated.

On the banks of rivers, in ancient counties near mountains, in old frontier cities, in prosperous places

Imperial lists were posted all over the country one after another. I don't know how many people were shocked and then turned to ecstasy when they saw it.

Some look like Taoists, some look like monks, some are gorgeously dressed, some are plainly dressed, some are alone and usually frown, some are two people together with joy flashing across their faces, and some are in groups of three. Demonic spirit, ecstatic face

On a small mountain road outside a small county town, a young man wearing an old gray Taoist robe was running up the mountain, and then rushed into a dilapidated temple, shouting as he ran.

"Master—Master—"

Although the Taoist temple is dilapidated, it is small and well-equipped with all the internal organs. There are front and rear halls, kitchen and wing rooms in the Taoist temple. There is even a place besides the kitchen where smoke is curling up, which is the alchemy room in the Taoist temple.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, some statues of gods are enshrined, but in the center are some tablets.

Other people in the temple heard the sound and came out one after another, and followed the returning people towards the main hall.

When the disciples outside shouted and came out, the old Taoist priest in the main hall was offering incense to the Patriarch. When he heard the shouting, he angrily shouted outside.

"Whatever you shout, how do you behave appropriately——"

The disciples outside ran to the main hall and immediately stopped talking, while the fellow disciples who came around came closer and asked in low voices what happened, but the man did not dare to say anything for the time being.

The old Taoist priest inside was mumbling something while putting a lot of incense in the incense burner in the temple. Then he knelt down and bowed in obeisance. For a while, the room was filled with smoke.

There are many tablets in front of the incense burner. If Yi Shuyuan were here, he would be able to recognize the name on the first tablet. It is the alchemy sorcerer Jiao Zengping who he met at the abandoned inn with Shi Sheng.

After a long time, the old Taoist stood up and walked outside the hall, where he saw more than a dozen disciples outside.

"What's up?"

The disciple who had just returned could not suppress the joy on his face.

"Master, the emperor has posted an imperial list to recruit strange people from all over the world to come to the capital to meet the saints and seek ways to stay in this world and prolong their lives. He promises to fulfill people's requests. He also promises glory, wealth, and official titles!"

"What?"

The old Taoist's face showed surprise.

"You read that right, is it really the imperial list?"

"Master, it's absolutely true. There are still officials studying there. Who dares to fake the imperial list?"

The muscles on the old Taoist's face trembled a few times, and he gradually showed joy. It was obvious that he was also a little excited.

After practicing for so long, I feel that I have achieved something, but unfortunately there are not many opportunities to apply what I have learned, and there are too few treasures to cherish.

And as soon as this imperial list comes out, the glory, wealth, high official, and salary are beckoning to him, and he may even be canonized as Dayong Celestial Master as in the folklore!

When the time comes, I will enjoy endless blessings, why do I need to stick to this miserable place!

"God-given opportunity, God helps me! Where is the imperial list?"

"At the city gate!"

"Okay, okay, let's go, take me as my master quickly, let's unveil the emperor's list!"

All the disciples in the temple became excited and followed the master down the mountain one after another.

In Dengzhou City, where the Datong River is lush and lush outside the city, there is a notice wall with an imperial list posted on it. Officials are reading it loudly, while a large number of people gather outside.

For ordinary people, there is a lot of discussion after hearing the contents of the imperial list, and perhaps it will be mentioned frequently after dinner.

But outside the crowd, there was an old scholar with a clear beard who was also looking at the imperial list, but no one else seemed to notice his presence.

If someone could notice the old man and see his appearance clearly, he might find that he resembled the Prime Minister of Chu in the Chu Gong Temple.

At this moment, Chu Hang just shook his head slightly.

"Hmph, ridiculous!"

However, Chu Hang just said this, and then turned around and left. When he stepped out, the water on the Datong River surged, and the figure of the old Confucian was no longer on the bank.
