You won’t be afraid if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and cultivate immortality

The civil and military officials of the late dynasty were bustling with people, and those on duty must have gone to the Yamen to clock in and fish for work, while the lords who were holding false posts were just streetwalkers, shouting to see you later in groups, and getting into their carriages to drink. A cup of already cold tea was served to moisten the throat, and the groom, who had been waiting for a long time, drove to the house step by step and skillfully. After all, the master is very likely to go to a small party later, have a drink, listen to some songs, and talk about the mountains.

Yes, it is such a simple and unpretentious life. It relies entirely on the merits saved by the ancestors to allow the descendants to live a life without worries about food and clothing. The monthly salary is not low. As long as the lords who are in vain do not commit suicide, they will not die.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they have a certain status and power. In fact, these people get up earlier than chickens every day, wear gorgeous official uniforms and belts that symbolize status, and come to the court to listen to politics and discuss affairs. Of course, this is all in the background They just collect people's heads and do the job of staring at people, unable to truly participate in the decision-making of national affairs. However, being able to hear about the major events and plans of the court can occasionally earn you some hard money. After the court meeting is over, these street guys start their colorful lives.

First, they will return to their mansions, take off their seemingly gorgeous official uniforms, and put on casual casual clothes. Anyway, the tedious affairs in the court have nothing to do with these streetwalkers.

Some people enjoy the warmth of family to the fullest, spending time with their wives and children, teaching them how to read and write, and cultivating their character and talents. At the same time, some people also invited some literati, relatives and friends to come to the house to gather, drink tea, talk about Taoism, recite poetry and paint, and spend a pleasant afternoon together.

In addition to cats living a leisurely family life at home, these streetwalkers are also keen on social activities. We often attend various banquets and gatherings and make friends from all walks of life. On these occasions, they will show their talent and grace and win praise and respect from everyone. Sometimes, they will also organize some artistic performances that are suitable for both refined and popular tastes, such as opera, dance, playing and singing, etc., to present a visual feast to the guests.

They have too much free time, and these street guys also have a lot of hobbies. Some like to ride horses, archery, and gallop on the battlefield; some love music, chess, calligraphy, and painting to cultivate their temperament; some are obsessed with martial arts, and dancing with guns and sticks is quite intimidating. There are also people who are keen on health preservation and seeking immortality. They will find fun in these hobbies and enrich their spiritual world.

Of course, not everyone's life is a happy one. In the court, they may be squeezed out and suppressed by some powerful officials, or even framed and put in jail. But in addition to accepting your fate, these things include not blindly seeking death in a hot head, keeping your eyes open and not standing in the wrong team. After all, you are just a street kid because of the blessings of your ancestors.

Of course, it was different today. These streetwalkers changed out of their court uniforms and gathered in the same place. That was the Eighth Prince's villa on the outskirts of Beijing. Take the burly bearded man who spray-painted Hubu Zhang Youwei in the court hall of the Government Palace as an example. He came on horseback and waited for him to arrive. At that time, there were already many carriages parked on the road outside the villa, and many familiar servants gathered under the big tree to brag and spank. Judging from the bad laughter that these people gave out from time to time, I guess They were talking about some topics that men liked, either whose wife was pretty, or the prostitute in the alley who still had the charm. We are no longer surprised by these things.

What kind of master there is, there will be what kind of servant. Although the status is different, the hobbies are the same.

The man threw the reins to the porter and stepped in. I heard that this courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing was given to the eighth prince as a coming-of-age gift by his uncle. Although the layout of the courtyard is not elegant, it occupies quite a large area. Although it is not located near the Imperial City, where land is at a premium, the suburbs of Beijing are still within the capital. This villa covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres, and is adjacent to a hill. Although it is not high, it is fenced and some ornamental trees are planted and raised. Some jackals, tigers, leopards or flowers, birds, fish and insects that are very ornamental, but they also have a unique flavor.

This villa is surrounded by green mountains and green waters, with pleasant scenery. Although it is far from the bustling scene of the palace, it gives people a sense of tranquility and distance. The Eighth Prince has not been interested in reading and power since he was a child. He only likes to wield swords and guns, attract cats and dogs, and so on. Therefore, the designation of the high chair has nothing to do with him. In the future, he will undoubtedly be a vassal king who is waiting for death. Therefore, the country His uncle specially built this villa into a look he liked and gave it to him as a coming-of-age gift.

The door to the courtyard is closed, and there is a winding path in front of the door, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants growing on both sides. Passing through the path, you can see a majestic and magnificent hall. The furnishings in the main hall are simple, but they reveal a royal atmosphere. There is a huge mahogany desk in the hall, with some military books on it. There are many swords hanging on the wall behind it, and the weapons rack is also full of swords, guns, swords and halberds. In particular, a leather armor inlaid with fine iron was placed in the middle, giving it a chilling air.

In addition to the main hall, there are many exquisite cabins in the courtyard. These cabins are used to raise various rare and exotic animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects. The Eighth Prince had a special liking for these things and would sneak out of the palace to take care of them every once in a while.

In the southwest corner of the courtyard, a lotus pond was dug. At this time, the lotus flowers were withered, but there were many lotus pods. There were many colorful fish swimming in the crystal clear water. Several willow trees were planted next to it. The willow branches swayed in the wind, and various flowers bloomed next to it, just like a beautiful picture. The Eighth Prince used to take a walk here when he was tired from practicing and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In the northeast corner of the courtyard, there is a spacious stable. There are many horses in the stables that have been acquired at a great cost and favor. They are all good horses selected from the royal stud. Whenever he had time, the Eighth Prince would ride these horses on the post roads outside Beijing and enjoy the fun of horseback riding.

Although this villa is not as prosperous as the palace, it has its own unique charm. Here he can stay away from the troubles of the world and live the life he longs for. And those rare animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects have become his best companions in this courtyard.

Since then, they agreed to form an alliance with their half-brothers, the third and fourth brothers. This courtyard far away from the imperial city has become a gathering place for their group. They don’t even need to shout, just look at them, and the courtiers who come close to support them will I knew that after I retired to the lower court, I would come here to discuss some things and advance and retreat together.

One after another, nearly twenty civil and military ministers from the DPRK and China have gathered in this other courtyard. They are all carefully served by their maids, drinking tea, chatting, communicating with each other, and waiting to figure out how to reach a consensus with the three princes.

After waiting for another half an hour, several more courtiers came. The tea served to these adults was also of the highest quality. The tea was fragrant and refreshing. They went back and forth to brew and drink several pots of it, but there were still three princes coming together. , usually this point should be early.

Just when many people in the hall went to the toilet to relieve themselves many times, the three princes appeared after being called out for a long time. Not only did they bring two colleagues with them.

These people all stood up and prepared to salute. As a sign of sharing weal and woe, they were almost like grasshoppers on a rope. When the third prince waved his hand, everyone also bowed their hands and said hello. After sitting down, the third prince gave everyone a brief explanation.

"Master Li and Master Lu are all acquaintances, so I won't introduce them further. I met these two adults on the way here and we had a very pleasant conversation. Starting today, they will also join our small group. I hope that you will be in the same boat." , create brilliance together.”

The people in the hall couldn't help but weigh it up again and again. One of these two people is from the Ministry of Etiquette. He is mainly responsible for the etiquette during the New Year and festivals. This is not too important and is optional. But the other one is from the Ministry of Personnel, and this one is responsible for the promotion assessment of officials. If this person joins the official career of himself and his family members, I dare not say that it will be twice the result with half the effort. At least he will know where the shortcomings are, and with a little attention and preparation, he will most likely be promoted next time. The problem is not big, especially for some official ranks that are easy to get stuck and require seniority. Noono can solve the problem casually.

"Yes, Brother Huang is right. As long as you all work together, people will make plans and God will make things happen. Don't worry, no matter which of the three of us brothers takes that seat, I can't guarantee that all the adults present will be crowned princes and prime ministers. I can't guarantee that they will be promoted. That’s the lowest level, so I think it’s okay to work hard to get to the first level! Brother, do you think so?” As the fourth prince, I have to quickly build relationships.

"Well, Brother Chen is right!"

"Two royal brothers, don't take me with you. I don't want to sit in that seat. What's the point? I'm tired from reviewing memorials every day. I sleep later than a dog and wake up earlier than a chicken. Even if I just want to hug the beauty, When you sleep, there will be a eunuch watching you next to you. I feel so panicked just thinking about it. I don’t care who of you two sits on which chair, but I have one request, which is to give me my fiefdom. Just don’t be too remote, don’t be like Lao Shi. Hey, I’ve heard that that guy’s fiefdom has a very beautiful scenery. It’s a horse ride away from the capital. It would take more than a month to drive non-stop every day. It’s estimated that a round trip by carriage would take less than half a year. .”

The Eighth Prince curled his lips and reiterated his position.

"Okay, if Third Brother, I become the emperor, I will let you choose the rich states by yourself." The Third Prince assured the Eighth Prince, patting his chest.

"Okay, third brother, don't talk about these useless things. This time Xiao Shi has been crowned the king. According to the emperor's wishes, he has been excluded from the candidates for the throne. If I had known this, I shouldn't have used those offerings to pursue him last time. Those cultivator friends who killed him are now well. All the worshipers on our side are dead and injured. The remaining two are not very good casual cultivators. They can't even fly in the air. We have to do it for them. Find some cultivation resources to support yourself. I heard that you need to break through the level." The fourth prince reminded him a little bit that he couldn't bear it.

"What the fourth brother said is reasonable. Fortunately, the boss also lost five worshippers last time. I heard that there is only one immortal master who can fly with weapons. I have already asked for help. I have already asked for help. There may be someone in the near future. Good news." The third prince's heart ached when he thought about it now. The trump card of serving delicious food and drinks was unexpectedly lost by one inadvertent move.

"I really blame the younger brother for being reckless. I didn't expect those three to be so powerful. Who would have thought that even the Great Immortal would capsize in the gutter." As the culprit, the Eighth Prince quickly emphasized his fault again. It's bad luck that so many immortal masters who are usually coaxing can't even deal with people three levels below them, and in the end they even risked their lives. Although this happened more than half a year ago, what can be said? I can only curse silently, I deserve it.

"Okay, eighth brother, I don't blame you for this. No one expected this. I asked the great immortal when he left the city, and he categorically said that killing those three people silently would be like killing an ant. Simple, besides, the combat power and number of people are several times that of the opponent. If the opponent counterattacks and kills me, it may be because the opponent has hidden its strength. Fortunately, we don’t have to face this matter for the time being. When Third Brother and I sit on that chair, I will appoint a replacement. That's what you said." The third prince really knows how to use every opportunity to win people's hearts.

"The last thing we talked about this morning was Dongwei. I heard that my father meant to find the princes and concubines for the three unmarried men? Why do I feel that this matter is not that simple!" The fourth prince directly made this mess without clearing up the matter. The topic ended and a new topic started.

"I think so. Sirs, you can speak freely. Let's put it all together and see what the meaning is." As the third prince, although he has thought about it, he still wants to hear the analysis of these people present.

"To report to the three princes, I feel that the emperor is making arrangements for his funeral." An old man with white temples and a long beard was the first to speak.

"Oh! How do you explain this? Sir, please tell me quickly!" The third prince held the person up with interest.

"Well, I venture to guess that the emperor has three intentions. The first is to give priority to King Jin'an, who has no hope of taking the throne, to arrange an escape route. The second is to arrange marriages for the three unmarried princes to fulfill the emperor's responsibility as a father. The second is to arrange marriages for the three unmarried princes. After the wedding of the three third-class princes, it is very likely that they will establish a prince and heir apparent. People say that when you start a family, you start a family and a career. The family is established first, and then the career is established. Then the remaining princes will be crowned kings, and finally the vassal king will leave the capital. The emperor's body is still strong. After two or three years, the crown prince who takes over will be able to do the job even after a year and a half of assistant training. The crown prince will be passed on, and the current emperor will be the Supreme Emperor. Then he will be able to live a long life and enjoy happiness. "Old Man. The Taishi's words were not surprising and he kept throwing out three meanings.

"..." These people in the hall were all whispering and discussing with each other. After all, most of them were military generals. Although these people probably knew it, they really didn't expect such a deep meaning.

"Master Lao is worthy of being an important minister and veteran of the two dynasties. After careful consideration, what he said is absolutely correct."

"exactly!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

…………,

Someone in the hall soon joined in and began to flatter him. Who is to say that this old master is the grandfather of the fourth prince according to his seniority!
