I am a boss in the Three Kingdoms [System]
Chapter 36
Regardless of the objections of the courtiers, Zhang Bao will drive away evil spirits for the ten permanent servants in front of all civil and military officials in the court hall two days later.
The emperor was coaxed into ecstasy, and even pulled Mi Ren after he came down to court and said: "Mi Aiqing, fortunately, I didn't listen to those sour scholars and give up the ten permanent servants, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait for Zhang Tianshi today!"
He seemed to have imagined that after Zhang Bao expelled Xie Chong, the ten permanent servants would return to court and surround him, and his mood improved a lot.
When Mi Ren was released by the emperor to return to the Tianshi prison, Zhang Bao had been waiting for a long time.
He asked his attendants to take out Mi Ren's Longjing green tea, made himself a pot of tea with his purple sand pot, and said with a smile: "Master Mi's green tea is really a rare treasure in the world."
In fact, Zhang Bao didn't necessarily think the tea was delicious, but he heard that only noblemen and doctors could drink it, which was a symbol of status.In addition to tea, the porcelain, gold jade, colored glaze... and even beauties visited in the palace are all rare treasures among the people, but they were so dazzling on the way he walked that they completely dazzled his eyes.
No wonder his elder brother Zhang Jiao wants to be emperor!He wants to be one too!
Zhang Bao's heart was very hot, he wished he could finish exorcising evil spirits for Shi Changshi immediately, sit on the position of national teacher, and then join forces with his elder brother Li Yingwai to take down Jingluo.
At that time, Zhang Jiao will be the son of heaven, and he will be a prince, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"What dares to drink tea from my celestial master?" Mi Yan looked at him as if looking at something dirty, full of contempt.He suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, drink it. Take it as the decapitated tea that my celestial master is kind enough to invite you to drink. Anyway, after tomorrow, you will be ruined and have nothing."
These eyes and words deeply hurt Zhang Bao, reminding him of his humble past in his hometown before he became famous.He gripped the teacup tightly with five fingers, and the smile on his face was still solemn: "Is Mi Tianshi jealous?"
Mi Yan sneered: "What are you jealous of?"
His expression suddenly became strange: "Zhao Zhong is seriously ill, so what if Zhang Tianshi can get rid of Xie Chong, isn't he alive for a few days?"
"Could it be that Zhang Tianshi's talisman water also has the life-extending effect of centuries-old ginseng, ganoderma and other natural materials and earth treasures?" He said contemptuously, "If it really has such a magical effect, ordinary people will not die."
Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth deepened after he came back to his senses.
Before he came, Shi Changshi told him in every possible way, telling him that Mi Yan is a cunning and cunning thief, and he must be careful not to fall into this man's way.But when I saw him today, this person was young after all, but only mediocre.
He didn't have these medicinal materials, but there were plenty of eyes and ears of the ten permanent attendants in the imperial court, and he could definitely pass them on to the ten permanent attendants.
Centuries-old ginseng and ganoderma, will Shi Changshi not have it?
"There is no need for Mi Tianshi to worry about this, we will see the outcome in two days." Zhang Bao put down the teacup in his hand, "But Mi Tianshi should be careful, wait for my Tianshi to exorcise the evil... huh."
He said this, as if he suddenly discovered some new fun, and glanced up and down at Mi Yan with lewd eyes.After a while, he smiled mysteriously and went to the side hall to rest.
Mi Rian suppressed her displeased expression, returning to her usual calm.He called his attendants, pointed to the purple sand teapot and said, "Throw it away."
Although most of the facial expressions just now were fake, but there is one thing that is true.He hated this Zhang Bao and didn't want to be in the same room with it.
He paused, and walked out.
My eyes are dirty, I should ask Wen Ruo to wash them and ask for some comfort.
Xun Yu has just finished sorting out the four treasures of the study for the emperor, and is thinking about the problem.Seeing Mi Ren, she stood up to greet her, "Zi Su."
Mi Yan looked at his face, raised her hand and tapped her cheek, and smiled: "What is Wen Ruo thinking about, so focused."
Xun Yu said: "I'm worried that something bad will happen if Zhang Bao exorcises evil spirits for Shi Changshi." Although they discussed this matter when Zhang Jiao was recruited by the imperial court, Mi Yan also had a way to resolve it, but he still had some worry.
Seeing that the person didn't understand what she meant, Mi Yan raised her hand and gently wiped away the ink spots that were accidentally stained on his face: "It's okay, I know what I mean, Wen Ruo doesn't have to worry."
Xun Yu was taken aback.
His thoughts were completely disrupted, and his mind went blank. It took him a while to recover his voice: "...Gong, Gongda and the others should have arrived in Jingluo."
Mi Yan looked at his flushed cheeks, tilted her head and smiled: "Yes, I just invite them to have a talk tomorrow."
Next is the holiday.
Three talents recommended by Xun Yu came to Mi Mansion.
The first one is Xun You, whose expression is Gongda.He is Xun Yu's nephew, actually six years older than Xun Yu.His appearance is rather handsome, and he looks a little weak, but in fact he is precocious and has hidden wisdom;
The second is Zhong Yao, whose characters are often.He is good at many kinds of calligraphy, especially famous for italics.Originally the magistrate of Yangling County, he resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown a few years ago, and made friends with the Xun family;
The third place is He Yong, whose name is Boqiu.He is talented and knowledgeable, and he has commented on many people sharply.Affected by the disaster of the party, He Yong kept his name incognito in the city, but in the past few years, he has been quietly traveling between Nanyang and Jingluo, paying close attention to state affairs.
Compared with Xun You and Zhong Yao, He Yong had actually heard Mi Ren's name very early on.
When Mi Yan first entered Jingluo, he happened to be in Beijing with Yuan Shao to protect several persecuted party members and chivalrous men, and he had seen Mi Yan from afar.At that time he said to Yuan Shao: "Although this young man entered the court by buying an official, but his eyes are clear, I am afraid that he is not the lucky person that everyone thinks."
Not long after saying this, He Yong bid farewell to Yuan Shao and returned to Nanyang.At the beginning of October, I received a letter from a friend in Beijing and China, which mentioned that Mi Ren said that he had changed his reputation when he entered Beijing, and now he has won the praise of the gentry officials.
He Yong smiled slightly.
What he is most proud of in this life is his own eyes. Since he became famous, he has never made mistakes in matching people.The change of Mi Yan's reputation is just a fulfillment of his words.
He put the letter aside without further inquiry.It was also the pride at this moment that made him miss the good opportunity to get to know Mi Ren.
It will take some time for the story of Jingluo to spread everywhere.In November, Xun You, Zhong Yao, and He Yong were all shocked when they heard that Mi Ren had forced Zhao Zhong to donate food to the disaster with his own efforts.
It was also at this time that they received letters from Xun Shuang and Xun Yu, inviting them to enter the Mi Mansion for a talk.
It's a story, but the three of them know that this means recruiting followers.The three hesitated again and again, and finally decided to trust Xun Shuang and Xun Yu, and quickly packed their bags, took their wives and children, and embarked on a trip to Beijing.
The closer they were to Jingluo, the more deeds they heard.
Rumor has it that Mi Rian is deeply loved by the emperor, to some extent even surpassing the ten servants, which arouses the jealousy of the ten servants.He planted a kind of rice brought back from Jiaozhi in May, which matured in September, and improved a lot of planting tools.This is a major event that benefits the country and the people and should be promoted, but Shichang's attendants obstructed it and pointed out that rice is grass.Later, Zhao Zhong forced Mi Yan to donate rice, but Mi Yan resolved and forced him.
The twists and turns of the plot made everyone fascinated by hearing it, and they were fascinated by Mi Ren who argued with Zhao Zhong in the court that day!
Soon the three of them got closer to Jingluo, and heard that Shi Changshi used natural disasters and man-made disasters to frame Mi Rian for practicing witchcraft, but Mi Rian saw it through. All 12 people were dismissed from office.
The three of them were so shocked that they couldn't even close their jaws!
Is this really something humans can do?
Leaving aside whether the matter of heaven is true or not—obviously they thought it was false when they heard it for the first time—the ten permanent attendants with power in the government and the public were actually killed by a young man with no foundation who had been in Beijing for less than half a year?
He Yong was even more shocked!
He knew early on that he was extraordinary, but when everyone thought this person was rat shit, he thought this person was a plate of porridge and a bowl of side dishes, but how did he know that he was actually a table full of delicacies, gluttonous feasts? !
How many surprises this person has is beyond his guess!
The three entered the capital in a trance, and heard that the gentry in Beijing were talking about "Master Mi Xianshi", and said that he persuaded the emperor to lift the scourge of the party...
Is this the hero they are about to serve?It sounds like it's a little bit more powerful...
The three were full of emotions, and waited for a few days in the mansion arranged by Mi Ren, and finally saw Mi Ren.
The famous Immortal Master Mi seems to be just a young man with a crown, but he is extremely good-looking and has an extraordinary bearing. He doesn't look like an "immortal master" who can easily overthrow the ten servants.
But when he raised his eyes and looked at him, others would be completely attracted by his eyes, forget their previous guesses, and surrender to the deep sea of stars.
The three of them sat upright, not daring to look down on them in the slightest.
They chatted with Mi Yi for half a day, getting a preliminary understanding of each other's knowledge and temperament.Listening to the meaning of rejuvenating the country and bringing peace to the country leaked out of Mi Ren's words, and seeing that he has practical plans in all aspects rather than just empty talk, he is [-]% or [-]% convinced.
As for the rest, the three of them still need to think carefully before deciding whether to stay or not.But judging from their performance today, there will be no twists and turns in the matter of retainers.
Mi Ren smiled and said: "You three don't need to worry, I have written to His Majesty to arrange duties for you, don't worry about whether this matter succeeds or fails."
That's the end of the conversation.
Because of the gentle respect and just right leisure, the three of them felt relaxed and happy in the second half of the conversation.
Mi Yan kept them for dinner before he sent them back home.
After he announced the recipes, although Jingluo and the surrounding counties have become popular, the time is still short, and most of the cooks are not good at cooking and measuring.In addition, the three of them lived in their hometown with their wives and children during this time, and they didn't have much spare money to support servants. This was the first time they had such a delicious meal.
The three of them almost lost their posture in front of the dining table, and the scale used to measure in their hearts tilted more and more.
After the dinner was over, Mi Yan saw the three of them off.
Looking at his handsome face like an exiled immortal, Zhong Yao finally asked: "Dare to ask the immortal master, is there really evil worship among the ten permanent attendants?"
In the whirring of the night wind, the immortal young man looked over with calm and calm pupils, and said affirmatively, "Of course they are all evil spirits."
Seeing the faces of several people straightening up and humbly asking for advice, he said slowly:
"Everyone has desires in this world. Some people love money, some people love sex, and some people love power...including you, me, Shi Changshi, everyone."
"Desire itself is endless and difficult to completely satisfy. When you get something, will you be content with the status quo or will you breed new desires? Will you restrain from it or keep chasing it again and again?"
"Desire and dissatisfaction is extremely painful. It drives us to throw away our morality, plunder the interests of others, and trample on the laws of the country...until we are completely destroyed."
"It is because a person must have a bottom line and a method to control desires. If he surrenders to desires, he will often be dominated by desires in the end, and he will become an evil cult that corrupts morals and tramples on the law."
"It's not just Shi Changshi." His eyes were far-reaching, as if he wanted to see the unreachable stars through the night, "I hope I will encourage you all."
After speaking, he ordered his attendants to send the three of them back to the mansion.On the carriage, the three of them were a little silent.
When he reached the mansion, Zhong Yao said, "Dare to ask Boqiu what he thinks of... Mi Tianshi?"
"The appearance of a fairy, a peerless genius." He Yong sighed, "I can't make more comments on him."
Mi Rian is very different from others.
He is not like a young man, but more like a vast sea, when people think it is calm, he makes a huge wave; and like a vast starry sky, mysterious and unfathomable.
"A person cannot choose his own birth, but he can decide the path he will take in the future. Obviously, although he was born in a merchant family and bought an official to enter the court, he knows exactly what he wants."
"I only dare to say that the lord has the world in mind and has an extraordinary mind. He will definitely help the Han Dynasty to stabilize the country and prosper the country." He Yong made a decision, "I would like to follow the lord, but what do you two think?"
Mi Rian returned to the court the next day.
Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood quietly in the hall, silently looking at Zhang Bao, the celestial master in the front, and the ten permanent attendants who hadn't seen each other for a month.
Most of the ten permanent servants have been reduced a lot, and this meeting is complaining to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, I have seen you! I miss you so much!"
Seeing this, Liu Hong was also filled with emotion: "Hey, it's great that you are all fine."
When his eyes fell on Zhao Zhong, he was completely shocked: "Mum, what's wrong with you?!"
Most of the ten servants came in by themselves, except for Zhao Zhong.He was lying on the sickbed and was carried up by the attendants.
Zhao Zhong tried his best to open his eyes, and said with all his strength: "Return to Your Majesty, minister, it's all right..." After just saying these words, he collapsed on the couch and gasped heavily.
Mi Yan stood aside, raising her eyebrows slightly.
He had heard that Zhao Zhong was so distressed by the 1000 million yuan and grain and grass that he was so angry that he fell ill. Later, he was frightened by the matter of asking the heavens, got caught in the rain, was dismissed by the emperor, and had a high fever the night he returned to the mansion. People almost burned out.
However, in just one month, Zhao Zhong's black and oily hair turned into hoarfrost, his eye sockets were dark and black, and his eyes were cloudy and gray; A skeleton frame; the most terrifying thing is his skin, shrunken and wrinkled because of being too thin, hanging empty on his body, making him look like a ghost.
Now even if someone casually points at him and calls Xie Chong, no one will object.
Zhao Zhong once wrote a memorial that he was seriously ill and asked for an interview.Mi Ren saw it, and thought that he was referring to the rice as grass, so she used his own way to treat him.
He advised Liu Hong: "Chang Shi Zhao is too ignorant. If you are sick, you should go to the imperial physician. What is the use of seeking His Majesty? You don't know medical skills, so you have to be careful not to get sick when you go. Minister, I must be reluctant to put His Majesty in danger."
Hearing this, Liu Hong was very moved, and sent several imperial physicians to treat him.
Seeing Zhao Zhong's ghostly appearance now, Liu Hong felt both regretful and fortunate.
He regretted that he didn't go to see Zhao Zhong for so long, and he was glad that he didn't go, otherwise he might really be overwhelmed.
After hesitating again and again, he finally didn't dare to go over, but couldn't bear to say in the seat: "Grandma, you have suffered!"
Zhao Zhong burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I am not suffering at all...cough cough cough!"
How could he not be bitter? This month, he was murdered by those quack doctors several times and stepped into the gate of hell.Being able to live to this day is entirely supported by the desire to see the emperor again, and to see Mi Ren, a bitch with a decapitated body.
He couldn't help looking at Mi Yan with resentful eyes.
Then I saw the young man who had been careless before, raised his eyes and looked over slowly as if he felt his malice.He was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble all over, and quickly looked away, pretending that nothing happened.
All the officials also looked at Zhao Zhong in horror.
——Is this person really Zhao Zhong?
Has Zhao Changshi, who is so high above him, become such an old man who is dying? !
All the officials were shocked, and some people showed expressions that could not bear to look directly at them.But more of it is hatred and joy, wishing to look up to the sky and laugh three times to express the agitation in my heart.
Liu Hong looked at Zhao Zhong sadly.Seemingly remembering something, he turned his head to look at Zhang Bao and said, "Master Zhang, please exorcise Zhao Changshi first!"
Zhang Bao glanced at Mi Yan, and said calmly, "Okay."
Yesterday, he and the ten permanent attendants guarded against death, worried that Mi Rian would make trouble for him, but he would be terrified at every sign of trouble.Unexpectedly, nothing happened from morning to night, and I was lonely from beginning to end.
He grinned grimly in his heart:
Mi Yan, Mi Yan, what you said earlier, I will return it to you intact!When this celestial master finishes exorcising evil spirits for the ten permanent attendants, he will defeat you with Taoism and ruin your reputation!Only by begging my celestial master can I survive!
As he thought this way, the expression on his face became more and more holy.An attendant behind him handed over a wooden box, and he took out a talisman paper from it, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.
Then Zhang Bao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was like a torch.
A servant brought an oil lamp.He actually stretched out his hand, grasped the flame in the center of the oil with incomparable precision, and lifted it away from the oil lamp.Then with a snap of his fingers, flames flew away from his fingertips and burned the talisman paper in front of him.
"This is the rootless fire," Zhang Bao's sacred and solemn voice came to mind in the hall, "Only the talisman paper ignited by the rootless fire can drive away evil spirits."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but let out a startled sound.
Zhang Bao quickly put the lit talisman paper into the jade bowl.When the talisman paper was burned to ashes, he ordered his attendants to fetch the "immortal water" he had prepared and poured it into a bowl together.
After a while, a bowl of talisman water that can exorcise evil spirits was prepared.
Zhang Bao said neither sad nor happy: "Zhao Changshi, please drink."
The attendant took the talisman water and fed it to Zhao Zhong.Zhao Zhong couldn't wait to open his mouth wide and took a sip.
Thanks to this serious illness, he has been taking medicine these days, and from the talisman water, he drank ginseng soup, ganoderma lucidum water, licorice... a series of medicinal materials, and drank the talisman water with peace of mind.
After drinking this bowl of talisman water and resting for a while, Zhao Zhong felt much better.
He gathered strength all over his body, his eyes were clear and he was refreshed, and he even stood up to salute the emperor: "Your Majesty, I feel that I am well!"
Liu Hong watched his transformation in surprise: "Is this true?!"
Seeing this, Zhang Bao followed the trend and said, "Your Majesty, Xie Chong has been eliminated, and Zhao Changshi has recovered."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mi Yan triumphantly, as if this foretells Mi Yan's miserable future.
Zhao Zhong bowed and bowed, weeping bitterly: "Your Majesty! The minister is finally healed!"
Liu Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Great! Congratulations to my mother, I will hold a banquet later to celebrate my mother!"
All the officials were surprised when they saw this.
Everyone saw Zhao Zhong just now, but he just drank a piece of Zhang Bao's talisman water, and now his face turned red again. Isn't that bowl of talisman water a magic elixir?
They all looked at Zhang Bao, their eyes bursting with surprise.
Although the talisman water has been drunk, Zhang Bao still has a lot of talisman paper in his hand.Who can not get sick, who can not grow old?If one gets one, wouldn't it be invulnerable to all poisons and immortal? !
Everyone was a little eager to move, and Shi Changshi looked at Zhang Bao with bright eyes, expecting that he would be the next one to drink the talisman water.
But at this moment, a sudden change happened.
Zhao Zhong, who was talking to the emperor, suddenly lost his voice.
His face became more and more red, and four streams of blood slowly overflowed from his ears and nostrils.Before it was over, he suddenly shook his body uncontrollably, spit out a big mouthful of blood with a wow, and fell to the ground without saying a word.
He just fell silent!
But his eyes were still open, and he just fell down to face Zhang Bao's direction, and he couldn't stand his eyes!
Liu Hong was dumbfounded.
Facing Zhao Zhong's death directly, he still maintained the posture of reaching out to help someone, standing there without moving, as if he had completely lost his soul.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also stupid.
They stared at Zhao Zhong's body stupidly, and didn't respond for a long time.It is unknown who in the crowd shouted "Guardian", and all the people suddenly came back to their senses, protecting the emperor away from Zhang Bao with pale faces.
The scene was chaotic for a while.Only Mi Yan stood behind everyone behind Shi Shiran with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Zhongjing once said that emptiness cannot be replenished, presumably it was Zhang Bao who listened to his nonsense and used too many treasures from heaven and earth to make up for the extremely weak Zhao Zhong at once.
interesting.
After he came to Jingluo, there were only a few people who were dizzy and sick with anger, but this treasure was even more powerful than him, and he directly killed one person.
He looked around, seeing the mournful emperor, the terrified ten servants, all the officials with different descriptions, and the panic-stricken Zhang Bao...
Not only was there no fluctuation in his heart, he even wanted to laugh a little.
The emperor was coaxed into ecstasy, and even pulled Mi Ren after he came down to court and said: "Mi Aiqing, fortunately, I didn't listen to those sour scholars and give up the ten permanent servants, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait for Zhang Tianshi today!"
He seemed to have imagined that after Zhang Bao expelled Xie Chong, the ten permanent servants would return to court and surround him, and his mood improved a lot.
When Mi Ren was released by the emperor to return to the Tianshi prison, Zhang Bao had been waiting for a long time.
He asked his attendants to take out Mi Ren's Longjing green tea, made himself a pot of tea with his purple sand pot, and said with a smile: "Master Mi's green tea is really a rare treasure in the world."
In fact, Zhang Bao didn't necessarily think the tea was delicious, but he heard that only noblemen and doctors could drink it, which was a symbol of status.In addition to tea, the porcelain, gold jade, colored glaze... and even beauties visited in the palace are all rare treasures among the people, but they were so dazzling on the way he walked that they completely dazzled his eyes.
No wonder his elder brother Zhang Jiao wants to be emperor!He wants to be one too!
Zhang Bao's heart was very hot, he wished he could finish exorcising evil spirits for Shi Changshi immediately, sit on the position of national teacher, and then join forces with his elder brother Li Yingwai to take down Jingluo.
At that time, Zhang Jiao will be the son of heaven, and he will be a prince, wouldn't it be beautiful?
"What dares to drink tea from my celestial master?" Mi Yan looked at him as if looking at something dirty, full of contempt.He suddenly smiled and said, "Forget it, drink it. Take it as the decapitated tea that my celestial master is kind enough to invite you to drink. Anyway, after tomorrow, you will be ruined and have nothing."
These eyes and words deeply hurt Zhang Bao, reminding him of his humble past in his hometown before he became famous.He gripped the teacup tightly with five fingers, and the smile on his face was still solemn: "Is Mi Tianshi jealous?"

My eyes are dirty, I should ask Wen Ruo to wash them and ask for some comfort.
Xun Yu has just finished sorting out the four treasures of the study for the emperor, and is thinking about the problem.Seeing Mi Ren, she stood up to greet her, "Zi Su."
Mi Yan looked at his face, raised her hand and tapped her cheek, and smiled: "What is Wen Ruo thinking about, so focused."
Xun Yu said: "I'm worried that something bad will happen if Zhang Bao exorcises evil spirits for Shi Changshi." Although they discussed this matter when Zhang Jiao was recruited by the imperial court, Mi Yan also had a way to resolve it, but he still had some worry.
Seeing that the person didn't understand what she meant, Mi Yan raised her hand and gently wiped away the ink spots that were accidentally stained on his face: "It's okay, I know what I mean, Wen Ruo doesn't have to worry."
Xun Yu was taken aback.
His thoughts were completely disrupted, and his mind went blank. It took him a while to recover his voice: "...Gong, Gongda and the others should have arrived in Jingluo."
Mi Yan looked at his flushed cheeks, tilted her head and smiled: "Yes, I just invite them to have a talk tomorrow."
Next is the holiday.
Three talents recommended by Xun Yu came to Mi Mansion.
The first one is Xun You, whose expression is Gongda.He is Xun Yu's nephew, actually six years older than Xun Yu.His appearance is rather handsome, and he looks a little weak, but in fact he is precocious and has hidden wisdom;
The second is Zhong Yao, whose characters are often.He is good at many kinds of calligraphy, especially famous for italics.Originally the magistrate of Yangling County, he resigned due to illness and returned to his hometown a few years ago, and made friends with the Xun family;
The third place is He Yong, whose name is Boqiu.He is talented and knowledgeable, and he has commented on many people sharply.Affected by the disaster of the party, He Yong kept his name incognito in the city, but in the past few years, he has been quietly traveling between Nanyang and Jingluo, paying close attention to state affairs.

That's the end of the conversation.
Because of the gentle respect and just right leisure, the three of them felt relaxed and happy in the second half of the conversation.
Mi Yan kept them for dinner before he sent them back home.
After he announced the recipes, although Jingluo and the surrounding counties have become popular, the time is still short, and most of the cooks are not good at cooking and measuring.In addition, the three of them lived in their hometown with their wives and children during this time, and they didn't have much spare money to support servants. This was the first time they had such a delicious meal.
The three of them almost lost their posture in front of the dining table, and the scale used to measure in their hearts tilted more and more.
After the dinner was over, Mi Yan saw the three of them off.
Looking at his handsome face like an exiled immortal, Zhong Yao finally asked: "Dare to ask the immortal master, is there really evil worship among the ten permanent attendants?"
In the whirring of the night wind, the immortal young man looked over with calm and calm pupils, and said affirmatively, "Of course they are all evil spirits."
Seeing the faces of several people straightening up and humbly asking for advice, he said slowly:
"Everyone has desires in this world. Some people love money, some people love sex, and some people love power...including you, me, Shi Changshi, everyone."
"Desire itself is endless and difficult to completely satisfy. When you get something, will you be content with the status quo or will you breed new desires? Will you restrain from it or keep chasing it again and again?"
"Desire and dissatisfaction is extremely painful. It drives us to throw away our morality, plunder the interests of others, and trample on the laws of the country...until we are completely destroyed."
"It is because a person must have a bottom line and a method to control desires. If he surrenders to desires, he will often be dominated by desires in the end, and he will become an evil cult that corrupts morals and tramples on the law."
"It's not just Shi Changshi." His eyes were far-reaching, as if he wanted to see the unreachable stars through the night, "I hope I will encourage you all."
After speaking, he ordered his attendants to send the three of them back to the mansion.On the carriage, the three of them were a little silent.
When he reached the mansion, Zhong Yao said, "Dare to ask Boqiu what he thinks of... Mi Tianshi?"
"The appearance of a fairy, a peerless genius." He Yong sighed, "I can't make more comments on him."
Mi Rian is very different from others.
He is not like a young man, but more like a vast sea, when people think it is calm, he makes a huge wave; and like a vast starry sky, mysterious and unfathomable.
"A person cannot choose his own birth, but he can decide the path he will take in the future. Obviously, although he was born in a merchant family and bought an official to enter the court, he knows exactly what he wants."
"I only dare to say that the lord has the world in mind and has an extraordinary mind. He will definitely help the Han Dynasty to stabilize the country and prosper the country." He Yong made a decision, "I would like to follow the lord, but what do you two think?"
Mi Rian returned to the court the next day.
Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stood quietly in the hall, silently looking at Zhang Bao, the celestial master in the front, and the ten permanent attendants who hadn't seen each other for a month.
Most of the ten permanent servants have been reduced a lot, and this meeting is complaining to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, I have seen you! I miss you so much!"
Seeing this, Liu Hong was also filled with emotion: "Hey, it's great that you are all fine."
When his eyes fell on Zhao Zhong, he was completely shocked: "Mum, what's wrong with you?!"
Most of the ten servants came in by themselves, except for Zhao Zhong.He was lying on the sickbed and was carried up by the attendants.
Zhao Zhong tried his best to open his eyes, and said with all his strength: "Return to Your Majesty, minister, it's all right..." After just saying these words, he collapsed on the couch and gasped heavily.
Mi Yan stood aside, raising her eyebrows slightly.
He had heard that Zhao Zhong was so distressed by the 1000 million yuan and grain and grass that he was so angry that he fell ill. Later, he was frightened by the matter of asking the heavens, got caught in the rain, was dismissed by the emperor, and had a high fever the night he returned to the mansion. People almost burned out.
However, in just one month, Zhao Zhong's black and oily hair turned into hoarfrost, his eye sockets were dark and black, and his eyes were cloudy and gray; A skeleton frame; the most terrifying thing is his skin, shrunken and wrinkled because of being too thin, hanging empty on his body, making him look like a ghost.
Now even if someone casually points at him and calls Xie Chong, no one will object.
Zhao Zhong once wrote a memorial that he was seriously ill and asked for an interview.Mi Ren saw it, and thought that he was referring to the rice as grass, so she used his own way to treat him.
He advised Liu Hong: "Chang Shi Zhao is too ignorant. If you are sick, you should go to the imperial physician. What is the use of seeking His Majesty? You don't know medical skills, so you have to be careful not to get sick when you go. Minister, I must be reluctant to put His Majesty in danger."
Hearing this, Liu Hong was very moved, and sent several imperial physicians to treat him.
Seeing Zhao Zhong's ghostly appearance now, Liu Hong felt both regretful and fortunate.
He regretted that he didn't go to see Zhao Zhong for so long, and he was glad that he didn't go, otherwise he might really be overwhelmed.
After hesitating again and again, he finally didn't dare to go over, but couldn't bear to say in the seat: "Grandma, you have suffered!"
Zhao Zhong burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I am not suffering at all...cough cough cough!"
How could he not be bitter? This month, he was murdered by those quack doctors several times and stepped into the gate of hell.Being able to live to this day is entirely supported by the desire to see the emperor again, and to see Mi Ren, a bitch with a decapitated body.
He couldn't help looking at Mi Yan with resentful eyes.
Then I saw the young man who had been careless before, raised his eyes and looked over slowly as if he felt his malice.He was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble all over, and quickly looked away, pretending that nothing happened.
All the officials also looked at Zhao Zhong in horror.
——Is this person really Zhao Zhong?
Has Zhao Changshi, who is so high above him, become such an old man who is dying? !
All the officials were shocked, and some people showed expressions that could not bear to look directly at them.But more of it is hatred and joy, wishing to look up to the sky and laugh three times to express the agitation in my heart.
Liu Hong looked at Zhao Zhong sadly.Seemingly remembering something, he turned his head to look at Zhang Bao and said, "Master Zhang, please exorcise Zhao Changshi first!"
Zhang Bao glanced at Mi Yan, and said calmly, "Okay."
Yesterday, he and the ten permanent attendants guarded against death, worried that Mi Rian would make trouble for him, but he would be terrified at every sign of trouble.Unexpectedly, nothing happened from morning to night, and I was lonely from beginning to end.
He grinned grimly in his heart:
Mi Yan, Mi Yan, what you said earlier, I will return it to you intact!When this celestial master finishes exorcising evil spirits for the ten permanent attendants, he will defeat you with Taoism and ruin your reputation!Only by begging my celestial master can I survive!
As he thought this way, the expression on his face became more and more holy.An attendant behind him handed over a wooden box, and he took out a talisman paper from it, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment.
Then Zhang Bao suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was like a torch.
A servant brought an oil lamp.He actually stretched out his hand, grasped the flame in the center of the oil with incomparable precision, and lifted it away from the oil lamp.Then with a snap of his fingers, flames flew away from his fingertips and burned the talisman paper in front of him.
"This is the rootless fire," Zhang Bao's sacred and solemn voice came to mind in the hall, "Only the talisman paper ignited by the rootless fire can drive away evil spirits."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but let out a startled sound.
Zhang Bao quickly put the lit talisman paper into the jade bowl.When the talisman paper was burned to ashes, he ordered his attendants to fetch the "immortal water" he had prepared and poured it into a bowl together.
After a while, a bowl of talisman water that can exorcise evil spirits was prepared.
Zhang Bao said neither sad nor happy: "Zhao Changshi, please drink."
The attendant took the talisman water and fed it to Zhao Zhong.Zhao Zhong couldn't wait to open his mouth wide and took a sip.
Thanks to this serious illness, he has been taking medicine these days, and from the talisman water, he drank ginseng soup, ganoderma lucidum water, licorice... a series of medicinal materials, and drank the talisman water with peace of mind.
After drinking this bowl of talisman water and resting for a while, Zhao Zhong felt much better.
He gathered strength all over his body, his eyes were clear and he was refreshed, and he even stood up to salute the emperor: "Your Majesty, I feel that I am well!"
Liu Hong watched his transformation in surprise: "Is this true?!"
Seeing this, Zhang Bao followed the trend and said, "Your Majesty, Xie Chong has been eliminated, and Zhao Changshi has recovered."
As he spoke, he glanced at Mi Yan triumphantly, as if this foretells Mi Yan's miserable future.
Zhao Zhong bowed and bowed, weeping bitterly: "Your Majesty! The minister is finally healed!"
Liu Hong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up: "Great! Congratulations to my mother, I will hold a banquet later to celebrate my mother!"
All the officials were surprised when they saw this.
Everyone saw Zhao Zhong just now, but he just drank a piece of Zhang Bao's talisman water, and now his face turned red again. Isn't that bowl of talisman water a magic elixir?
They all looked at Zhang Bao, their eyes bursting with surprise.
Although the talisman water has been drunk, Zhang Bao still has a lot of talisman paper in his hand.Who can not get sick, who can not grow old?If one gets one, wouldn't it be invulnerable to all poisons and immortal? !
Everyone was a little eager to move, and Shi Changshi looked at Zhang Bao with bright eyes, expecting that he would be the next one to drink the talisman water.
But at this moment, a sudden change happened.
Zhao Zhong, who was talking to the emperor, suddenly lost his voice.
His face became more and more red, and four streams of blood slowly overflowed from his ears and nostrils.Before it was over, he suddenly shook his body uncontrollably, spit out a big mouthful of blood with a wow, and fell to the ground without saying a word.
He just fell silent!
But his eyes were still open, and he just fell down to face Zhang Bao's direction, and he couldn't stand his eyes!
Liu Hong was dumbfounded.
Facing Zhao Zhong's death directly, he still maintained the posture of reaching out to help someone, standing there without moving, as if he had completely lost his soul.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were also stupid.
They stared at Zhao Zhong's body stupidly, and didn't respond for a long time.It is unknown who in the crowd shouted "Guardian", and all the people suddenly came back to their senses, protecting the emperor away from Zhang Bao with pale faces.
The scene was chaotic for a while.Only Mi Yan stood behind everyone behind Shi Shiran with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Zhongjing once said that emptiness cannot be replenished, presumably it was Zhang Bao who listened to his nonsense and used too many treasures from heaven and earth to make up for the extremely weak Zhao Zhong at once.
interesting.
After he came to Jingluo, there were only a few people who were dizzy and sick with anger, but this treasure was even more powerful than him, and he directly killed one person.
He looked around, seeing the mournful emperor, the terrified ten servants, all the officials with different descriptions, and the panic-stricken Zhang Bao...
Not only was there no fluctuation in his heart, he even wanted to laugh a little.
