Chapter 332

Zhou Yuan went down the mountain and returned to the capital before he got the position of head, and went down the mountain and returned to the capital after he got the position of head, which represents completely different meanings.

He was a young hero before. Although he had great potential, he still needed the support and protection of the Wei Dynasty.

At this time, he was the head of the Qingyuan Branch. Although his strength was unknown, he could increase the fortunes of the Wei Dynasty.

In fact, after the Wei army's western expedition and the Danzhou War broke out, exploring hidden secrets was no longer important.

Because there are many secret realms in one state, far more than Zhou Yuan’s dedicated exploration.

Therefore, the Great Wei Chaotang shifted its focus. While defending the Chu State, it wanted to subdue the Yu State as soon as possible so as to regain the coveted land of Danzhou.

Under this situation, the Emperor of Wei and Prince Qi had not received documents from Zhou Yuan for some time.

The latest news is that Li Si, the headmaster of Qingyuan, sent a letter saying that Zhou Yuan entered Taoism and practiced Taoism. He was highly valued by the three real people who taught Taoism. If he devoted himself to practicing Taoism, he might be able to inherit Qingyuan Taoism.

At that time, they felt that Zhou Yuan was extremely talented and that he might be able to lead Yanshan Qingyuan Temple in another twenty or thirty years.

I never thought that they were still too conservative, but the fact was that they learned about the Taoism in May and became the leader in early June.

When Qingyuan headmaster Li Si conveyed the latest changes and returned to Beijing, it was difficult for the Emperor of Wei to imagine what Li Si had gone through during this time.

Yes, he was not curious about the potential of Zhou Yuan's innate Taoist heart, but worried about whether Li Si could still remain stable at this moment.

After all, Li Si had been operating the Qingyuan Temple in Yanshan for many years. In the end, not only did he fail to achieve the true elixir, but he was also completely surpassed by a boy who had only been in Taoism for a month.

It is too sad that talents cannot be compared, hard work cannot be rewarded, and authority has not been cared for.

For this reason, the Emperor of Wei immediately responded to Li Si's letter after receiving it.

"Gong Li has many legal affairs, and he is lonely and involved in government affairs, so he cannot visit him more often to express his admiration to his descendants.

It would be a great blessing for you to come back to Beijing. I will arrange a family dinner to wait for Mr. Li's arrival. "

"Please also ask Li Gong to tell Zhou Yuan to escort him with the imperial guards to ensure that no trouble occurs on the way."

Emperor Wei did not mention Zhou Yuan throughout the whole process, and promised to invite him to a family banquet, in order to balance Li Si's heart.

Finally, he mentioned Zhou Yuan's name and wished him a smooth journey. He also pointed out that he knew about Qingyuan Temple and that both of you should return safely.

For the Emperor of Wei, Zhou Yuan, who had unlimited potential, represented the future of the Wei Dynasty, and Li Si, who had extraordinary strength, was one of the foundations of the founding of the Wei Dynasty.

For this reason neither of them can be lost, let alone fight with each other because of the preference of the people in the secret realm.

Li Si naturally heard what he meant and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. It's only about thirty miles from Yanshan to Fengjing and we will reach it today."

After hearing this, Emperor Wei smiled with relief, God bless Wei, the pearl will turn into a star.

Prince Chujun Qi, who was sorting out military reports, saw this and knew that his father was very happy. He had to ask about the good news before he could share the joy with his father.

"Why is my father so happy? But the battle in Danzhou went extremely smoothly."

"No, I am happy that the inheritance of the Wei Dynasty is in order. You have always been polite, wise and diligent, and can bear the fate of the country.

However, I have always worried about how you should use the new noble to suppress the meritorious old ministers after many years. Now I finally have the answer.

Those noble heirs have not yet grown up, and Shaoyu Linlang is still gathering strength, but Xinyuan Wukui Zhou Yuan has signs of becoming a star. "

"He has an innate Taoist heart, a pure heart, and profound merit. He has been recognized by the Qingyuan Taoist lineage and has been awarded the position of head of the branch.

In time, I will be able to help you lead the court and make our Wei Dynasty prosperous and continuous. "

Different from ordinary dynasties thousands of years ago, a brave country like the Wei Dynasty could not secure the throne with just an imperial edict.

For this reason, since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has been a tradition of kings visiting the dynasty, that is, the emperor governs and the prince assists in government.

All this is to give the prince the power to fulfill his promise as soon as possible, so as to gain the following of some young talents and courtiers.

Even so, Emperor Wei still felt that the prince's reputation was insufficient and he needed to be recognized by more factions in order to inherit more national power.

In this way, Zhou Yuan, Xinyuan Wukui, who represented the new rich in the army, the poor people, the Qingyuan Taoist sect, and the Huaizhou faction, was very crucial.

His political background enables him to communicate with various factions. In addition, with his outstanding talents and extraordinary strength in the future, he can become a high official and important minister of the successor king.

Upon hearing this, Prince Qi quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"My son will live up to his father's trust and is willing to devote all his efforts to prosper our country."

The special character of the dynasty made it impossible for King Qi to say anything to evade, let alone to say that he was afraid of not doing well.

That would not only disappoint Emperor Wei, but also cause changes in the Wei clan.

In a country like the Wei Dynasty, the prince cannot be afraid and shirk, otherwise he will not be able to entrust the great cause, and he must be elected as a person with a rock-solid heart to bear the responsibility.

"It's good if you have this intention. I want to hold a family banquet to entertain Qingyuan Li Gong and Zhou Yuan. You can bring your wife and children to the banquet."

"My son, I have received my order. I will go to the Wenhua Palace to call my son over."

Zhou Yuan didn't know yet that Li Si was treated like attending the emperor's family banquet.

When they arrived at the Deyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, accompanied by Wei Baijiang and the Forbidden Army, they discovered that although the banquet was small, it was one of the most expensive state banquets in the Wei Dynasty.

Probably because the three young men were sitting solemnly and the five children were chatting secretly, the emperor and the empress took the main seat, with Prince Qi and his wife as assistants.

As soon as Zhou Yuan and Li Si entered the palace gate, Emperor Wei greeted Li Si and King Qi greeted him.

The scene was like the handover between the old and the new, the elders had more virtues, and the young gentleman had new friends.

"I haven't seen you for many days, General Zhou, and you are a bit more powerful. My children also know your reputation, and they are all clamoring to see you, this young hero who is independent and independent.

Come sit down with me and I will introduce you to a few children. "

"I am ashamed to accept this. Thank you for your care and giving me the opportunity to attend this noble banquet."

During the banquet, the Queen and the Crown Princess chatted freely, and the Emperor of Wei and the King of Qi assisted them. They were not majestic and just talked about family matters.

The Queen said that Princess Anren had entered the State of Chu. She didn't know what the customs of the State of Chu were like and whether they would treat the princess of the Wei family well. Her worry showed that she was a kind mother.

As the head of Nian Qingyuan, Li Si had participated in the Three Mountains Dharma Assembly many times. He had a good relationship with the Qianyuan Sect of Jintan in the State of Chu and had a lot of festivals with them. Naturally, he knew about the affairs of the State of Chu.

The topic started from here, and the Emperor of Wei pretended to be ignorant and asked him to introduce the customs of the State of Chu.

He denounced the State of Chu without hesitation, and said that the royal family of the State of Chu had a good reputation in Yingdu and was a family with etiquette and laws, so they would not look down on Princess Anren.

The Queen might not believe what the Emperor of Wei said. After all, the marriage between the two countries was mostly political affairs, so how could they take into account the preferences of their children?

But Li Si's words were somewhat credible. After all, he was a man of Taoism, and he would not just talk about the advantages without mentioning the disadvantages.

Compared with Li Si's leisure, Zhou Yuan had a lot of headaches.

What could the Crown Princess do at the banquet? Naturally, she would examine the talents and wait for the opportunity to introduce some daughters of the royal family, and she often wanted to be a matchmaker.

Zhou Yuan pretended not to understand, and waited until the family banquet was over before explaining the reason.

"Your Majesty, I have a sincere Taoist oath that I must not be trapped by lust before I can make the elixir, otherwise it will be difficult to make the real elixir and practice the Tao."

Li Si had previously told Emperor Wei that the Taoist oath would seek the heart, and he also knew that Zhou Yuan also had a Taoist oath, so he did not mention the matter of getting married at a young age.

"Let's stop with this matter, and there is no need to mention it again in the future.

True feelings are a concern, but false feelings are a burden. I want to use your talent, how can I block your way."

After Emperor Wei finished speaking, the Queen of Wei, who was over fifty years old, said gently and lovingly.

"It's good for young people to be ambitious and not troubled by emotions. If you meet someone you like in the future, please bring him to me.

Your parents died early, and there is no one to take charge of the important affairs. As the mother of the country, I will bless you to get married."
