Chapter 300 Entering the Palace
Although the carriage prepared by Tao Yeshuo, the crown prince of Xia Kingdom, does not look gorgeous on the outside, the interior is very luxurious. The spacious carriage is covered with woolen carpets, and the seat cushions are wrapped in satin embroidered with gold thread. The curtains of the carriage windows are made of two layers, one layer is also made of brocade, and the other layer is made of brocade. Embroidered tulle. The top is carved like a caisson, and colored paint is applied to outline the gold edge. A spiritual stone lamp hangs in the middle, and the external metal components are also painted gold.
"Why do you feel that the Lingshi Lamp has become something like a luxury product?" Yang Yuyao looked at his idea. The lighting artifacts transformed by He Qianqing and Mu Yuan seemed to always be regarded as a symbol of financial resources. , feeling a little subtle. He knows that the internal components of the spirit stone lamp are relatively difficult to process according to the processing level of this world, so the labor cost is expensive. But this world can also produce jade carvings like the Wanxiang Ball... It seems that precision processing and skillful workmanship cannot be completely equated.
"Luxury goods?" He Qianqing, who received Yang Yuyao's message, thought about the meaning of luxury goods and said, "Absolutely, those who come to order Lingshi lamps are either rich or noble."
"Xiao Yao likes this spiritual stone lamp?" Tao Yeshuo also noticed that Yang Yuyao was looking at the lamp on the top. It was daytime, so naturally there was no light on, but the golden shell was spliced together with crystals, and it was transparent. The sunlight passing through the gauze curtains illuminates the lamp, which scatters iridescence and looks like an extremely beautiful handicraft. "I will take it off and give it to you when we get to the palace."
"No, thank you." Yang Yuyao refused quickly. Even if a spiritual stone lamp was nothing to the prince of a country, he didn't know where to put this obviously customized and gorgeous version of the spiritual stone lamp. suitable. And I just received gifts and so on after meeting... The key is that I designed this thing myself...
"He doesn't need this. Xiaoyao himself is the designer of the Lingshi Lamp." He Qianqing said calmly, but when he said such content at this time, it really sounded like he was showing off.
"Huh? But the spirit stone lamp appeared on the market ten years ago, before Xiaoyao started practicing." Tao Yeshuo was a little skeptical of He Qianqing's statement. His nephew is only seventeen this year. He was only seven years old ten years ago and is not yet old enough to practice. How could he come into contact with such things as the design of magical weapons?
"So my disciple had just mastered the theory of formations at that time, so the formations he designed were relatively simple. Now he can design more complex formations." He Qianqing said. Yang Yuyao looked at He Qianqing and felt that his disciple Something's not right with you now.
"Xiao Yao is so awesome!" Tao Yeshuo praised with a smile, but Yang Yuyao always felt that this smile seemed to be deliberately squeezed out, and Tao Yeshuo and He Qianqing seemed to be competing with each other, which made the atmosphere in the carriage The tense situation made Yang Yuyao, who felt uncomfortable, have the idea of jumping out of the car.
But if Yang Yuyao is bound to the mind-reading skill that automatically turns on, he will know that his master has a sense of crisis because his family has a good attitude towards him. He would also know that his uncle Tao Yeshuo's praise of him was sincere, but when he was praising him, Tao Yeshuo had been secretly cursing in his heart that all his subordinates were trash, and such important information was not collected.
Yang Yuyao doesn't have the passive skill of mind reading, and he doesn't want to use this type of technique to explore other people's inner thoughts at will, so he doesn't know this. At this moment, he just wants to cast a selfless technique on himself to let himself Become a transparent person with no sense of existence, and then disappear quietly.
However, he finally resisted the urge to jump out of the car and hide himself, and chose to let himself go. Yang Yuyao didn't know how long he had been wandering in the world. When he came back to his senses, the carriage had already arrived at the palace. The prince's carriage can naturally enter the palace. After accepting some inquiries, Yang Yuyao and the others didn't even get out of the car. The carriage drove through the palace gate and into the palace. However, even after the carriage entered the palace, they still had to walk a distance to see Tao Zhengxi, the current emperor of Xia Kingdom.
In the Xia Kingdom's imperial palace, the ground outside the palace was paved with pure white stones. There was no vegetation anywhere where they were walking. Yang Yuyao vaguely remembered that when he saw a tour guide in the original world introducing the existing royal palace in their country, the tour guide said that there were no trees in those areas of the palace, and the reason why the ground could be seen through at a glance was to prevent assassins from hiding in them. Therefore, Yang Yuyao believed that the similar design of the Xiadu Palace should have the same intention.
On the way, they saw the palace maids and eunuchs responsible for cleaning from a distance, but they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look here easily. These people are all mortals. But yes, no matter how many monks there are in the Xia Kingdom, the palace needs so many manpower, and it must be ensured that these people have reliable backgrounds, and it will definitely not be possible to use monks even for the lowest-level palace maids and eunuchs. Even if there are indeed monks as palace maids, they should be senior palace maids who have reached the management level. As for eunuchs... people who can become monks wouldn't want to be purified themselves, right?
After all, the great eunuchs who directly served the emperor, like Eunuch Tan who led them, were all mortals, and it was even less likely that the ordinary young eunuchs would be willing to be served by monks.
When Eunuch Tan brought them to the door of the Imperial Study Room, Yang Yuyao looked at the plaque above and was stunned. Unfortunately, his shallow knowledge about ancient emperors prevented him from judging. Would the emperor choose to meet guests in the Imperial Study Room? But then again, the emperor has the final say in the palace. Where does he want to meet?
"Your Majesty, our family has brought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and two guests here." Eunuch Tan opened the door of the imperial study and said with a respectful salute. Even the eunuchs serving at the emperor's side, Eunuch Tan could not know in advance. Who were the two guests with the prince that the emperor asked him to pick up. But those who can achieve this position are all human beings. When he saw the young man's beautiful face, Eunuch Tan had already made a guess in his mind. Since His Majesty currently wants to conceal the identity of the guest, he will just pretend that he is not aware of it.
"Okay, you can leave." The man in the yellow dragon robe said. He had handsome features, but was slightly weathered. But it also makes him look more commanding. After Eunuch Tan left, he looked into Yang Yuyao's eyes with a loving expression.
"Xiao Yao, come on, let grandpa take a good look at you." Tao Zhengxi walked to Yang Yuyao and patted his shoulder. He probably planned to pat him a few more times, but noticed that Yang Yu Yao's posture was stiff, so he stopped his hand in time the second time. Then he rushed his son to move a chair and pulled Yang Yuyao to sit next to him. "You've grown so big after so many years! She's even prettier than your mother now."
"Father, you scared Xiaoyao!" Tao Yeshuo said unceremoniously.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't I know how to behave?!" Tao Zhengxi glared and cursed. Without anyone else around, the two of them got along like an ordinary father and son. "Xianqing Qianqing, sit down, sit down, don't be polite. Since Xianzun is my dear grandson's master, he can also be regarded as our relative, so there is no need to be so polite. It seems that you and I are also destined. In the past, your master You were still a young boy when I brought you here, but now your cultivation level is so high!"
He Qianqing sat down on the chair next to Yang Yuyao, feeling a little embarrassed. He did visit Tao Zhengxi with Nanshan Immortal Master more than two hundred years ago. Not long after he started practicing, his family was He was still there, and his homeland had not yet been annexed by the Xia Kingdom, but Tao Zhengxi was already the emperor of the Xia Kingdom at that time. Although Nanshan Immortal Master did not introduce the origin of He Qianqing, Tao Zhengxi probably knew about his origin at that time, otherwise he would not have lamented that the He family had a good minister, but it was a pity that they were not his subjects. At that time, Tao Yeshuo, the prince, seemed not to have been born yet.
The Xia Kingdom was a country founded by monks. Its emperors did not have the three thousand beauties in the harem like the emperors of other countries. Although they were emperors, they only found one monk to become a Taoist couple like regular monks. Only two of them were emperors. In addition to the queen who is a Taoist concubine, there are two or three other concubines. According to the unofficial history, it was difficult for the two queens to conceive, and they were too fierce and capable, so the queen took the initiative to find sisters to share the burden.
The extraordinary physical ability of the monks is indeed one of the factors that restricts them from opening a harem. The king's harem is full of beauties. In addition to the emperor's own love for beauty, the role of these women who join the harem is actually to win over the ministers and stabilize his rule. neighboring countries. In addition, in order to be able to give birth to more royal blood, although the prince born by Bin Fei may not have the chance to become the emperor, more children also means that the emperor can better select the best among the best. Select a more suitable heir under suitable circumstances. And the princes also need to do things for their ministers, and even need to lead troops to fight. More heirs mean that more power in the court is in the hands of the royal family.
However, many mortal emperors could only visit one concubine every night, which was almost the limit. However, most of the concubines raised in the harem were weak, and they were just fine with an emperor who was not very good at it. But if the emperor is a monk, then mortal women will basically not be able to bear it. Those who can bear it are either because the monk's realm is not high, or he is just addicted, but is actually a silver spear with a pewter tip. Therefore, for the sake of both parties, it is best for a monk to find a monk.
For monks, the relationship between Taoists and Taoists is not entirely the same as the relationship between husband and wife. Although Taoist couples can also do things as husband and wife, the relationship between Taoists and couples is higher than the ordinary relationship between husband and wife. Taoist couples are each other's confidants and people who can help each other improve their cultivation. In the general view of monks, unless they are practicing evil ways, it is impossible to maintain a relationship between multiple people through serious mutual assistance and improvement of cultivation. So how can a monk who does this purely to satisfy his lust and deal with a few people all day long really put his mind on cultivation?
Therefore, for monks, expressing their intention to become a Taoist couple is to say that I hope that we can be each other's only one. The identity of a Taoist couple is so special that many monks fail to find a Taoist partner throughout their lives. Even the heads of many cultivation families dare not say that they are in a Taoist couple relationship with their wives. Therefore, it is very strange for the emperors of Xia Dynasty to be like this.
However, if we look at why emperors were so eager to leave heirs, these emperors of the Xia Kingdom did not have to be as anxious as ordinary emperors. In terms of lifespan, Xia's emperors are generally at the stage of transformation into gods and above. If they die without accidents, they will live for at least a thousand years. Almost no emperor of Xia dies. They all die after being emperors for a long time and leaving the throne to their children. So he and Queen Qinqin went into seclusion together. Maybe the first emperor of Xia Kingdom, Tao Xia, is still alive today. The long lifespan meant that the Xia Emperor did not have to worry about leaving heirs, and the Xia Emperor was not very afraid of assassinations. There were few assassins who could rival the Xia Emperor, and the assassins might have been killed before they could get close to him. Even if you manage to get close, if your level is low, the knife may not be able to penetrate.
Therefore, these special characteristics of the Xia royal family made them have different emotions towards blood relatives. If the emperors of other countries, even the emperor and the prince, would be suspicious of each other, as for the princess's children, they would be like outsiders, with little family affection. But in the Xia Kingdom, the emperor and the prince could still tease each other like an ordinary father and son in the presence of outsiders, and it was rare for a Xia Kingdom princess to marry outside. People like Yang Yuyao's mother, Princess Luofang, Tao Yulian, who married a general in Zhenguo, basically still lived in Xiadu for a long time, and they could often bring their children back to the palace to live there.
From this point of view, Yang Ningxiu's words are not too exaggerated. Tao Zhengxi really likes Yang Yuyao, his grandson. Like other old people who have not seen their grandchildren for a long time, he exchanged greetings with Yang Yuyao for a long time. After a while, Yang Yuyao gradually relaxed from the initial stiffness and unnaturalness. It was only at this time that Tao Zhengxi formally asked Yang Yuyao about wanting a piece of land to use.
But the first thing he asked was not what Yang Yuyao wanted to do with the land, but which place Yang Yuyao had chosen. He summoned another eunuch from Ruan, took the map of Xia Kingdom, spread it on the table, and asked Yang Yuyao to point out the selected places to him. When Yang Yuyao arrived near the former site of Jade Toad Palace, Tao Zhengxi frowned slightly.
"Why choose such a remote and desolate place? There are no people living nearby now." Tao Zhengxi said, "Isn't there any place you like around Xiadu?"
“There are a lot of open spaces here, which is convenient for construction without moving nearby residents.” Yang Yuyao replied.
"Well, Xiaoyao, that's the factory you want to build... Well, this is the name of the sect you plan to build? Why such a strange name?" Tao Zhengxi should have got part of the information from Yang Ningxiu, but Somewhere in the information transmission link there was a problem, which caused Tao Zhengxi to misunderstand that Yang Yuyao was building a sect called "Factory" at the site.
"No, it's not a sect. A factory is a factory, well, it can be understood as a larger-scale workshop. I want to use it to produce Xunlian and other magical weapons." Yang Yuyao explained.
"Ah, Xunlian! Ning Xiu said it was a communication weapon made by you, Xiaoyao? Can you show it to me?" This time Tao Zhengxi got the correct information.
"Of course." Yang Yuyao immediately took out a new Xunlian. In order to make the land declaration smooth, he naturally prepared several Xunlian product samples for experience, so that relevant officials could concretely feel the Xunlian It was extraordinary and he saw its value, but he didn't expect that this sample would be directly given to the emperor. "This is Xunlian's new product that has not been used yet. Can I add my father and them to you and let you chat with them?" Yang Yuyao asked.
"Okay, okay!" Tao Zhengxi's eyes were full of anticipation, and Tao Yeshuo on the side also showed a greedy look, as if he also wanted one, but he didn't speak for the time being.
So Yang Yuyao added the accounts of Yang Ningxiu, Yang Yuxuan, Yang Li and Tao Yi to this new Xunlian and sent a message to them all. After all, he didn't know who would be free at this time to reply to the message immediately. After completing this operation, Yang Yuyao taught Tao Zhengxi some basic operations and wearing methods of the Xunlian, and then handed the Xunlian to Tao Zhengxi.
