Unparalleled Concubine

His influence is close to that of Old Man Ye, the God of War of Jin Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this reason that the Taoist sect that was originally in decline in this dynasty suddenly became more prosperous. Among other things, at least the incense of Zhongnanshan Taiyi Palace has never been cut off in recent years.

In the past, Dajin as a whole was biased towards Buddhism. After all, the royal family of Dajin preferred to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha because of their preference for hundreds of years. .

Right now, Chunyang Zhenren's younger brother, Yangzi Zhenren, is going to Beijing to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and the people in the capital are excited about it.

It is a matter of course that a god's younger brother is also a god, so this real Yiyangzi from Taiyi Palace in Zhongnan Mountain is regarded as a god by everyone in the capital.

Except Li Xin.

In this world, no one knows better than Li Xin how Master Chunyang got here, and how this so-called immortal junior, Yi Yangzi, got here.

Chunyang real person is a story Li Xin made up based on the template of Lu Jianxian from another world. As for this Yiyangzi real person, he is the head of Taiyi Palace in Zhongnanshan. business.

Even though he knew it was a scam, Li Xin was not going to expose anything alone. Anyway, everyone got what they needed, so there was no need to embarrass others.

However, Li Xin didn't want to provoke the real Yiyangzi, but the real Yiyangzi found Li Xin.

Just when there were still rumors in the capital when the real Yiyangzi would enter the capital, a fairy-like Taoist priest with white beard and hair was already sitting in the living room of Jing'an Hou Mansion, smiling at Li Xin.

"It's been a long time since Marquis Li, and his demeanor is even better than before."

Li Xin gave the old Taoist a white look.

Nonsense, at that time I was tanned in the southwest and still in a mess, but now that I am back in vain, it is naturally better than before.

"It's better to pay homage to His Majesty when Yiyangzi enters the capital. What are you doing at Benhou's mansion?"

After taking a sip of tea, Li Xin asked indifferently.

"One is to thank Lord Hou for his kindness in saving the teaching back then, and the other is to ask Lord Hou for advice on something."

The old Taoist clapped his hands, and several middle-aged Taoist priests next to him immediately brought up the prepared gifts, including pearls, jade, and the "elixir" that these Taoist priests made by themselves.

Li Xin sighed.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but Zhenren seems to have grown richer."

Yiyangzi lowered his head and smiled: "It's all thanks to Lord Hou, our life in Taiyi Palace is easier."

Li Xin blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "I have taken the things, but the real person has entered the capital, and instead of going to see His Majesty, he came to see the Marquis first, isn't it in accordance with the etiquette?"

The old Taoist smiled and said: "To be honest with Lord Hou, the old Taoist has already met His Majesty, and it is precisely because of meeting His Majesty that I have to ask Lord Hou for some things."

Li Xin put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly.

"Really, please tell me."

The old Taoist hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "To tell you the truth, Lord Hou, this time the old Taoist came to Beijing at the request of His Majesty, to divination the fortune of the Jin Dynasty."

"In a few days, His Majesty will sacrifice to the heavens in the outskirts of the city. At that time, the old Taoist will ask for the fate of the emperor and ask the heavens for divination."

Having said that, the old Taoist stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

"Master Hou, although the old Taoist has met many dignitaries and dignitaries in the past few years, he still doesn't know much about the imperial court. Please advise Master Hou, how this hexagram... should be divination..."

Li Xin took a deep look at the old Taoist priest, and then smiled.

"Daozhang, you should ask the sky about this matter, how did you come to ask me?"

Chapter 657 Ominous Weapon

At this point in time, the emperor asked these "religious people" to come to Beijing, and at this juncture to offer sacrifices to heaven and divination, the intention is actually very obvious.

He wanted to find an excuse for this war.

To put it more bluntly, the current emperor wants to push the responsibility for this war to the illusory God.

After all, unless it had to, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely took the initiative to attack. Only when it was unbearable, or when there was a conflict of interest related to the lifeblood, the Central Plains Dynasty would massively raise troops and attack foreign enemies.

At present, none of the Yuwen tribes in the north has met these two conditions.

First of all, in the past three to forty years, these disabled people have been fairly honest. Although there have been occasional conflicts on the border, there have been no large-scale wars after all, and the Great Jin Dynasty has not suffered much loss.

Secondly, after the Yuwen tribes withdrew from outside the Jimen Pass, they had no territorial conflicts with the Central Plains Dynasty. After all, the land outside the pass was not suitable for farming. To be honest, the Ji family had no interest in that area.

Therefore, if this war is to be fought, it will be purely for the reputation of Emperor Taikang alone, or as Emperor Taikang said, it is to eliminate disasters for future generations.

But this kind of reason is not very convincing to the people. Officials in the court can use their authority to subdue, but the public opinion of the people in the world is not so easy to calm down.

Therefore, the emperor is going to use these religious people to guide the thoughts of the common people. Just imagine, if the head of the Taiyi Palace, who has become famous throughout the Jin Dynasty, the junior of the Chunyang Immortal, Yiyangzi Zhenren, said when divination, that the northern If there are hidden dangers that need to be calmed down, or if war is about to break out in the north, then the matter of the Northern Expedition will be in the public opinion, and there will be no pressure.

Yiyangzi sat across from Lord Jing'an, glanced at Li Xin, lowered his head slightly, and asked cautiously, "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "Master Taoist, who do you ask for divination?"

Yiyangzi was a professional in this area, so he answered without hesitation.

"Of course I asked Yu Tian."

Lord Jing'an nodded, and said, "Master Daoist, God's will is unpredictable."

Yiyangzi frowned, lowered his head and said, "What Hou Ye said is true."

Li Xin continued to smile and said: "Master Dao, God is high above, no one can say that he can really understand the old man's mind, even if the priest can read it and say it, but others can't read it, they may not believe it. "

"What do you mean by Lord Hou?"

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Old Daoist, God can't speak, but God has an eldest son in the world, but he can talk. When the old Taoist divination, if God doesn't answer, you might as well think about it." The thoughts of this son of heaven, after all, their family is always similar."

The first son of heaven is naturally the son of heaven.

Yiyangzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed his head respectfully: "The old man can understand what Hou Ye said, but the old man doesn't quite understand... What is this son of heaven's son thinking?"

Li Xin glanced at Yiyangzi, then smiled.

"Then what should Benhou give you?"

Yiyangzi got up and gave Li Xin a deep bow.

"Old Taoist, thank you Lord Hou Ende."

………………

After dismissing the magic stick and leaving, it was almost noon, Li Xin had lunch at home, and then set out to head for Chen Guogong's mansion.

Today is a special day, not only Yiyangzi, an old master, came to Beijing, but another acquaintance in the capital wanted to rush back.
