Chapter 867 Earth Altar (Happy Children's Day!)

gold stone.

royal palace.

Daliang Garden inherits from Dasong Garden, with one step at a time, one view, the heaven and the earth in the garden, and it abandons the delicacy and gentleness of the Song Dynasty Garden, making it appear majestic and magnificent.

The middle-aged Zhang Jushi was wearing a purple official uniform, walking among the gardens, he felt that he had forgotten everything, and for a while, his expression could not help but be in a trance.

He thought of the exhortation of his mentor back then - to be loyal to the king!

I also thought that I started as a small official, finally climbed up step by step, and had a chance to meet the emperor.

At that time, the little emperor, who was still a boy, asked, "King Chu Lie didn't sing for three years, but he died when he sings, why?"

King Chu Lie was an ancient king who was also controlled by powerful ministers in the country at that time. After he ascended the throne, he only watched politics in silence for three years, and then launched a coup in one fell swoop.

But it failed... The little emperor was killed directly!

At that time, Zhang Jushi was ecstatic, because His Majesty read Confucian books, and this King Lie of Chu is also a Confucian story!

Immediately, he replied sternly: "Scholar rebellion, if you fail in three years, how about thirty years?"

This is also a Confucian saying, which emphasizes that a gentleman needs to lie dormant, hide his weapons in his body, wait for the time to move, and wait silently for a good opportunity.

At that time, His Majesty did not respond much, so he asked Zhang Jushi to retreat, and he has not been summoned much since then.

However, he did not turn against the prime minister at that time, but silently accepted the prime minister's request, ascended the throne as the emperor, and abandoned the title of emperor!

But Zhang Jushi knew that he was already in the emperor's heart!

The clear proof is that I have been promoted several times, but I have not been hindered!

To be honest, there are actually very few people who are lucky enough to advance in the officialdom, and most of them are those who have merit but cannot be promoted!

Zhang Jushi didn't receive special care, but he made contributions and got promotion, which is the treatment that many people dream of.

It was also because of this that he was able to join the cabinet at such a young age, and at the same time defeated his biggest competitor - Lu Xiaoyi!

‘Mentor, this disciple has finally avenged you! '

Zhang Jushi came to the imperial garden, outside a small pavilion, he saw a general striding out.

Zhang Jushi immediately gave way to the side of the road: "Old Ming Ge!"

It was Si Yunming who came, and when he saw Zhang Jushi, he just said politely: "Mr. Zhang is also here..."

Immediately strode away.

Although they all entered the cabinet, Si Yunming took advantage of the opportunity of the prime minister's retirement to develop vigorously. His disciples' acquaintances were all over the navy, and even the emperor could not move him easily. This is his confidence!

Zhang Jushi knew the gap between himself and these big guys, and he smiled all over his face: "It's exactly..."

Watching Si Yunming leave, he stood up straight, his eyes a little dark.

At the same time, a purple-robed eunuch came over: "Your Majesty, pass on an audience to Elder Zhang Ge!"

Zhang Jushi straightened his posture immediately, entered the small pavilion, and found that there was actually a third person in the pavilion besides Daliang Renhuang!

This man is fat and fat, with simple and honest facial features, he is not too aggressive or too yin, but too harmonious!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the 5,000 Divine Fire Army has been fully trained, complete with Divine Fire guns and shells..."

Taihe bowed and said.

"That's right, I will make an order to reward the Taishang Daoyuan!"

Xiao Liang had two small moustaches, he looked heroic, and he walked like a dragon and a tiger, which was heart-wrenching.

Seeing Zhang Jushi coming at this time, he smiled slightly: "My grand scholar is here..."

He just waved his hand and asked Taoist Taihe to step back.

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Jushi, who is in charge of the Hongwen Pavilion University Scholars position, took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Taoist monks are good at using different techniques to pretend to be gods and ghosts, so it's really not suitable to get close to them..."

What's more, this Taihe also has a direct master-student relationship with that Xu Lingzi!

"Needless to say, the Taishang Taoist Academy has done meritorious service in researching steam engines, divine fire blunderbuss... and even Dao power and Brahma power over the years!"

Xiao Liang waved his hand disapprovingly.

"I'm afraid it's not just the study of Taoism and Sanskrit Law..." Zhang Jushi took out a memorial from his sleeve, knelt on the ground and presented it to Xiao Liang.

Xiao Liang stretched out his hand to take it, and looked carefully, his expression changed.

On the memorial, it is impressively recorded that some researches of the Taishang Taoist Academy have not only involved the supernatural power of the Dao-Fan family, but also studied the dragon energy and even the destiny!

There are even rumors that some dragon seeds have been captured in the north and are being held in secret bases for research and experiments!

"this……"

Xiao Liang clapped his hands, and Zhang Jushi suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him became much chillier.

Knowing that there must be royal masters guarding and ambushing all around...

At this level, except for the national teacher Xu Lingzi in his heyday, I am afraid that no Taoist monk can approach and eavesdrop...

Only then did Xiao Liang ask: "Why is there still a flood dragon born after ten years of my great beam?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my capital crime before I dare to speak."

Zhang Jushi kowtowed again.

"I'll spare you, tell me." Xiao Liang frowned and said.

"My Majesty, kings have always had a destiny, but Your Majesty has not... This is really because someone has robbed His Majesty of his blessings. Therefore, even if the world has been ruled for more than ten years, there are still snake seeds in this world!"

Zhang Jushi said firmly.

"Blessings? My father was told by Taoist Du Longzi that he had the life of a king, but in the end..."

Xiao Liang smiled wryly, thinking of his father, he couldn't help but think of Taoist Du Longzi.

Since the death of King Jin, Taoist Du Longzi has also been practicing in the Dulong Temple, and he doesn't often communicate with him.

Coupled with the fact that my aunt gave up her life to enter Taoism, this emperor has no one around him to talk to.

Seeing this, Zhang Jushi knew that the time had come, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's choice back then was very correct... If there was no prime minister's support back then, even if the prime minister retired, there would still be arrogant soldiers who would be difficult to subdue, maybe there would be a mutiny... Back then not only The prime minister needs your majesty, and your majesty also needs a prime minister, but now, the world has changed and things are different."

"It's not the same, that's a good word."

Xiao Liang took two steps, and suddenly sneered: "The elders of the three pavilions in the army...Tang Xun is still respectful and courteous, but Si Yunming and Zheng Fang have placed people one after another, and even found their own successor... Where are I? But at this moment, I still need them... There is no doubt that that person was deeply embedded in the army back then, and although they have been cleaned up several times, the army cannot be trusted, and the only ones who can use it are the navy!"

"I would like to put my heart and soul to the ground for His Majesty."

Zhang Jushi's eyes were red, and he said in his heart: 'Master...have you seen it? The day has finally come. '

Although Daliang still does not use the Four Books and Five Classics to select scholars, the officials who can be promoted have not yet broken the famous teaching in their hearts.

Before they knew it, they gathered towards Zhang Jushi, forming a huge potential force.

In fact, this time he and Lu Xiaoyi are not only fighting for the cabinet, but also for the identity and the right to speak of the famous preacher!

The bloodiness and treachery in it are really not enough for outsiders to understand.

Fortunately, he won in the end.

With the support of the famous teachers, both himself and the emperor are gradually full-fledged, and can challenge that mountain.

"Let me think, let me think..."

Xiao Liang took two steps back, appearing to be struggling.

After all, the national teacher is really kind to his family, and his aunt is still cultivating the mind.

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Jushi wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Xiao Liang wave his hand, he couldn't help but retreat.

When I left, I was thinking in my heart: "Your Majesty is still too deeply influenced by Xu Lingzi. This is not a blessing of the famous teaching... Xu Lingzi has done little to expel the Tartars... But for the sake of the world, I still have to kill... '

'Fortunately, His Majesty still has children, the position of lecturer in the East Palace is very important, and our people must get it! '

...

Xiao Liang watched Zhang Jushi leave, but remained silent.

After a long time, he left the imperial garden and came to a side hall.

This palace seems to have been abandoned for a long time, the courtyard is full of weeds, and it looks like no one has lived there.

But when Xiao Liang came to the main hall, he discovered that there was another universe here.

From a passage opened on the floor, one can go all the way down to a huge space.

In the underground palace, there is an altar.

The altar is divided into three floors, engraved with wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the country of the four seasons, picturesque scenery of mountains and rivers... It is indeed an altar for offering sacrifices to heaven!

Since the national teacher ordered the human race to strive for self-improvement, the title of Son of Heaven was abolished, and the emperor was only called Renhuang, the folk rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth have gradually decreased.

If it was discovered by others, that the Human Sovereign was also secretly offering sacrifices to the heavens, it would definitely cause an uproar again.

Xiao Liang looked at the Temple of Heaven, but didn't say much, he just ordered his confidant eunuch to present the tribute himself, and he twisted three sticks of incense and inserted them into the incense burner.

In the darkness all around, a figure appeared faintly.

There were gusts of gloomy wind blowing directly from the ground, and there was a voice mixed in, which seemed to be the voices of dozens of people overlapping into one: "Not enough... not enough... Emperor, you must openly lead all officials to sacrifice to the heavens, in order to make the world stand up! The fate of the country forms a pillar of heaven, reconnects with the sky, and has the sympathy between heaven and man, so you have your destiny... Do you know why the world is fixed, but there are still dragons everywhere? Because you have turned your back on the sky!!!”

"..."

Xiao Liang was silent for a while.

He already knew about this kind of thing.

But it is really impossible to do public sacrifices to heaven!

Once done, it represents a public break with the national teacher.

Although that person retreated to the edge of Xuanwu Lake, even Xiao Liang didn't dare to make a conclusion about how much potential power he had in the dark.

"Hee hee... are you afraid?"

The voice sounded again, but it was dominated by a woman's voice: "What are you afraid of? Once you officially worship the heavens, you will be the son of heaven, and you will be accompanied by hundreds of gods when you travel... We will help you."

"What's more... Once you worship the heavens and restore the title of Son of Heaven, Xu Lingzi will definitely die! He is using your original emperor's life to survive! Hee hee... every moment he lives, he is eroding your fate !"

"Xu Lingzi, I really hate..."

"Xu Lingzi, kill, kill, kill..."

The voice kept overlapping and began to change again.

One moment like a strong man, one moment an old man, and then a child again...

"It's started again... These ghosts and gods are not in the right state, why are they like crazy?"

Xiao Liang cursed in his heart.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to fully cooperate with these ghosts and gods.

Long-term experience made him understand one thing, to stand beside the winner!

No matter how gaudy these ghosts and gods say, they are all losers!

"Forget it, it seems that today I can only wake up for this period of time..."

Xiao Liang walked up to the palace again, and when he was leaving, he saw a maid in front of him, who seemed to be passing by unintentionally.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

This court lady was so beautiful, it seemed to be a coincidence, she quickly prostrated herself by the side of the road, and there was a body fragrance like orchids and musk deer.

"Baby maid, how dare you spy on my itinerary?"

Xiao Liang was suddenly furious: "I drag you down and die with a stick... Besides, once this matter is investigated to the end, everyone involved will be arrested and tortured... There is no need for such caring people by my side!"

"Obey!"

A purple-robed eunuch next to him suddenly took orders, and ordered the maid to be dragged down.

I was still shaking my head secretly in my heart: 'If you are too smart, you will die... Can you inquire about this secret, Your Majesty? It's a pity...whether you wanted to climb onto the dragon bed or something else, now you can only beat him to death...'

After venting for a while, Xiao Liang handed a kit to a young eunuch next to him: "Go...send it to the Poison Dragon Temple, and tell Taoist Priest Poison Dragon that I miss him."

The little eunuch received the order and left the palace all the way, riding a fine horse and galloping with his guards.

It didn't take long to arrive at the Poison Dragon Temple.

The Poisonous Dragon Temple and the Mind Cultivation Temple can be said to be bright for a while. They are both places of pure practice. There is no incense and they look lonely.

The little eunuch went up and knocked on the door, and seeing a Taoist boy open the door, he handed over a gold medal.

Dao Tong saw him, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome the angel.

The little eunuch went all the way without hindrance, and when he came to the back of the Taoist temple, he saw a jasper-like waterfall falling vertically, and the poisonous dragon was lying on a bluestone, as if sleeping leisurely and soundly.

His beard and hair are all white, but his face is red and full of energy.

"Meet the real poisonous dragon."

The little eunuch stood aside and waited for a long time, until Du Longzi got up, then he saluted and presented a kit: "Your Majesty said that he misses the Taoist priest very much!"

"Your Majesty's meaning, the old Taoist already knows it all, please go back and tell Your Majesty that Du Longzi is old and can't be used anymore, he just wants to bury his bones in the mountains and forests..."

Du Longzi took the kit, but waved his hand.

When the little eunuch left, he looked in the direction of Jinshi City and sighed: "The fluctuation of dragon energy is very violent... I hope His Majesty will not do anything unbearable!"

It's just that he, who has become a real person, has already successfully escaped from this muddy water and is not going to fall into it again.

After all, the king of Liang proclaimed himself emperor, and he helped the dragon to achieve great success, and the two parties got both money and goods.

Even if Emperor Liang died at this time, the backlash would not be on his head.

‘The old Taoist helped Liang Wang and his son to become real dragons, and he is already worthy of this family. Is the old Tao stupid to pay for the position of a real person that has been cultivated so hard? '

Du Longzi said to himself, and rolled his eyes: "A few days ago, I went to the emperor's mausoleum to look up, but I felt that it was not as good as the original dragon's lair... and although the graves of the ancestors of the national teacher were left unattended, there was a faint sense of grandeur." ...'

'It turns out that not only the dragon's lair makes a king, but the real king can become a dragon's lair by himself! This feng shui technique is of no use at all! Ridiculous, ridiculous! '

'Masters and senior brothers before the old way...the death is really wronged! '

...

"Master, what about this kit?"

Seeing that Du Longzi was dumbfounded, Dao Tong next to him couldn't help asking.

"Burn it."

Du Longzi sighed: "Besides... the old man wants to go deep into the mountains to collect herbs, so you keep your eyes closed and remember that no matter what happens outside, it has nothing to do with us!"
