To The Land of Nevernight

Yu Chao was born in Youzhou to take over Tang Shen's job.When Wang Qin came to Youzhou, he was handing over to these two people.Now that the handover of errands is over, Wang Qin and Tang Shen set off back to Shengjing together.Because Tang Shen was injured, the two stayed in Youzhou for a few more days.Waiting for Tang Shen to recover a bit before setting out on the road.

Because Tang Shen was injured, in order to take care of his body, the carriage did not move fast.They stop and go, but also look at the scenery along the way.In this way, it took ten days to reach Shengjing.Wang Qin first sent Tang Shen back to Tanhua Mansion, and after getting off the carriage, Tang Shen stood in front of the carriage and said helplessly to Wang Qin, "Brother, do you consider this a public weapon for private use?"

Wang Qin was surprised: "What are you talking about, little brother?"

Tang Shen: "The itinerary originally only took five or six days, but we spent twice as many days. This is probably the rumored trip at public expense."

Wang Qin was taken aback: "Travel at public expense? This word is new." He smiled slightly: "The sky is full of yellow sand in the northwest, and there is no blue sky. When we approach Shengjing, we mostly take country roads, and official roads rarely come from the town. Let's go. I didn't know that my junior brother likes to travel in such a deserted place, and it's quite interesting."

"what?"

"I will definitely satisfy you next time."

Tang Shen: "...?"

What did you say? !

The two are separated.

After returning to Shengjing, Tang Shen did not immediately go to Qinzheng Palace to resume his post.He went to Youzhou to inspect Yin Yinsi, and he went there for four months.It is now June, and Shengjing is extremely hot. Tang Shen has to go to the Ministry of Officials to report on his work first, and then he can go to the Hall of Qinzheng after several review procedures.

When he was in Youzhou, Wang Qin once told him that Shengjing had changed, so Tang Shen needed to "change his clothes" and not be the same as before.

But after returning to Shengjing for a few days, Tang Shen didn't notice any changes.Shengjing City is still bustling and bustling, and the Qianmen Street, which starts from the Grand Canal in the west, is full of people.Tang Shen also took time to visit Baibao Pavilion, which was regarded as a "private visit in micro-service".The passenger flow of Baibao Pavilion gradually stabilized, and thousands of people from Shengjing came to Baibao Pavilion to buy things every day.At the same time, Don Juan also opened up a "customization" business.

Since last year, Baibao Pavilion has sold glazed mirrors.This glazed mirror can perfectly illuminate people, and it is cheaper than the silver mirror, so it became the darling of the rich and powerful families in Shengjing within a day.However, glazed mirrors are not the real high-end products of Baibao Pavilion. When Tang Shen opened Baibao Pavilion, he got Zhao Fu's order to replace all the windows of the palace with glazed windows for Zhao Fu.

Naturally, the emperor would not take advantage of Tang Shen, and he paid all the wages that should be paid.But this job is really hard, Baibao Pavilion has been working for half a year before finishing this job.Only from then on, the crystal clear glass windows of the imperial palace became signboards with movable type.

Princes and ministers, who can not see the clean and tidy glazed windows after entering the palace?

These windows are extremely exquisite, and the powerful officials immediately found out that these windows were handcrafted by Baibao Pavilion, so they sent people to Baibao Pavilion to order custom-made glazed windows.All of a sudden, among the senior officials of the second rank and above, except Zuo Xiang Ji Wengji, who was born in a poor family and had a clean hand, the rest of the officials came to order windows one after another.

This is a big order, enough for Tang Juan and Yao San to be busy for a whole year!

Two days passed after Tang Shen went to the Ministry of Officials to report on his duties. Before Zhao Fu summoned him to the palace, a big event happened.

Gao Ming, the supervisor of the Yushitai Procuratorate, wrote an excerpt and played it.In the booklet, Gao Yushi listed seventeen crimes in a row, sued Li Xiaoren, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, and sued Li Xiaoren's apprentices and grandchildren.In the early morning, Gao Ming, the supervisory censor, criticized several Taoist priests for their misdeeds in their hometown and the evil deeds of ignoring human lives, and asked the emperor to uphold justice and eradicate villains.

Li Xiaoren, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, was a fourth-rank official, and he was also in the Zichen Palace at that time.Li Xiaoren was so frightened that his legs went limp on the spot, and he almost knelt down.But Song officials didn't have to kneel down to the emperor, so Li Xiaoren trembling his legs, cried and said that he had never heard of these things, and he didn't know that his apprentices did such evil things.

This is not a big deal, Gao Yushi mainly reported Li Xiaoren's apprentice, not Li Xiaoren.Although Gao Ming really wanted to overthrow this flattering fake Taoist priest, but he didn't grasp Li Xiaoren's handle, he could only start with Li Xiaoren's apprentice, and charged Li Xiaoren with being unfavorable in teaching.

Zhao Fu listened to their quarrel for a long time with a gloomy expression. He coughed lightly, causing all the officials to look up at him.

On the throne, Kaiping Emperor Zhao Fu said quietly: "Qin Tianjian Supervisor, is there such a thing?"

Li Xiaoren's face trembled, and he stepped forward: "I don't know about it, but if it really happened, I will definitely not tolerate it."

Zhao Fu asked Gao Ming again: "Gao Aiqing seems to have conclusive evidence, according to what Aiqing saw, how should we deal with it?"

Gao Ming really wanted Zhao Fu to deal with Li Xiaoren, but judging from what Zhao Fu meant, it seemed that he had no intention of doing anything to Li Xiaoren.Gao Ming had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty listens to what your Majesty has to say."

Zhao Fu waved his hand: "Then order Dali Temple to find out the truth, and deal with it as it should."

Originally, this was just a trivial matter, but Li Xiaoren was fined by Zhao Fu to suspend his salary for three months, and he thought about his mistakes at home.But no one could have imagined that one day later, Zhao Fu suddenly found a monk from Dingguo Temple.This monk is named Shan Ting, and he has only reached the age of [-], but he is a well-known eminent monk in Dingguo Temple, rumored to be the next abbot candidate.

Zhao Fu never believed in Buddhism, but only believed in Taoism. Li Xiaoren lit the everlasting lamp for him and refined elixir for him.Suddenly, Zhao Fu began to believe in Buddha.

Others believe in Buddhism and Taoism, they all believe in one thing, Zhao Fu is different, he believes in both.

The Shanting monk was taken to the palace to guide the emperor.But he even helped the emperor refine the elixir.The so-called money can turn ghosts, Buddhist monks never touch those Taoist things, but the object is the emperor, and he will do what the emperor wants him to do.So Monk Shan Ting and Li Xiaoren concocted the elixir together, and taught Zhao Fu the art of immortality.

Zhao Fu still went to the morning court every day and never left behind, but his character became more and more elusive.

On this day, Wang Qin was summoned to Dengxiantai, where he saw Zhao Fu sitting in the middle of the hall, surrounded by three bronze alchemy furnaces.He took off the complicated and luxurious imperial clothes, and put on a light Taoist robe.In the three alchemy furnaces, the cauldron was cooked with a raging fire, and the breeze blew into the room from the open glass window, brushing over the row of ever-burning lamps in front of Zhao Fu, making him look more like a Taoist priest with a pale face.

Wang Qin stood aside without saying a word, waiting for Zhao Fu to finish cultivating immortality.

However, this time, after Zhao Fu cultivated the fairy, he did not go back to the harem, but took the cattail leaf fan himself, and went to the three alchemy furnaces to make alchemy.He raised his hand and called Wang Qin.Pointing to a pill furnace, he asked, "Does Zifeng know what is being refined in this cauldron?"

Wang Qin's voice was clear and smooth: "I don't know, I hope His Majesty will let you know."

Zhao Fu said with a smile: "This is the Nine Turns Pill that Shan Ting gave to Zhenlian. After eating one every day, I feel refreshed, as if I were ten years younger again. Would Zifeng want to try it?"

Wang Qin raised his head with surprise on his face: "I am overjoyed."

Zhao Fu decided to take a look at him, shook his head and said, "Hey, this kind of elixir is only one a day, and I am reluctant to give it to you." Years ago. You stood together with Yu Chaosheng in the Zichen Palace. I named him as the second place and you as the champion. Now that I think about it, it has been so long. I have been on the throne for 12 years, and I have seen ten champions. I only give you the word 'Zhuangyuan Wushuang', do you know why?"

Wang Qin moved his fingers, and he said calmly, "I don't know."

"Because, I think, seeing you young people, it seems that even I look young!"

The next day, Zhao Fu summoned Tang Shen.He didn't see Tang Shen in Ascending the Immortal Terrace, but called Tang Shen to the Chui Gong Hall.

Tang Shen changed into a brand new official robe, and followed the little eunuch into the palace.He kept his head down, thinking about what Wang Qin said to him last night.At this time, only a kind laughter sounded: "Jing Ze went to Youzhou for a trip, why did he become cautious. Raise your head and see me."

"Yes." Tang Shen raised his head, and the moment his eyes touched Zhao Fu, he froze suddenly.But he reacted so quickly that no one noticed his astonishment, so he returned to his normal expression.

I saw Zhao Fu sitting on the throne in the bright and resplendent vertical arch palace, he still had an elusive smile, but he was old!As if a night of vicissitudes, he has many gray hairs on his temples.Ordinarily, at Zhao Fu's age, it is not uncommon for him to have gray hair.But what shocked Tang Shen the most was the sudden loss of life in Zhao Fu's eyes.

In the past, Zhao Fu was always full of vitality.He seems to feel that he is still young, and he has never felt that he is old.So he built three official roads, and he opened the Yinyin Division.He felt he could do a lot more.But all of a sudden, he seemed to really have the old age in line with this age.

Tang Shen thought to himself, Wang Qin visited late at night yesterday and specifically told him that Zhao Fu was easier to get along with, but also more difficult to get along with.He didn't understand what Wang Qin meant at the time, and in the face of such a life-and-death matter, Wang Qin naturally wouldn't play riddles with him again.But after Tang Shen asked, Wang Qin was silent, and only said: "If the younger brother sees it, he will know."

Only after actually meeting Zhao Fu did Tang Shen realize that this feeling was really beyond words.

What changed Zhao Fu?

Tang Shen thought hard, but could only guess that it was the Queen Mother's death.The queen mother died, and the emperor was hit hard, so he became a little depressed.

Looking at Zhao Fu like this, Tang Shen felt mixed feelings and couldn't tell what he was feeling.

Zhao Fu: "Jing Ze went to Youzhou, did you see anything interesting?"

Tang Shen thought for a moment, then said: "I am from the south of the Yangtze River. It was my first time to go to the Northwest, and I saw the scenery of the desert. Youzhou is different from my place next to the Song Dynasty. The scenery is magnificent and bright. Such a good place, The minister lingers and forgets to return, but the errands have been done, so I have to come back."

The author has something to say: Zhao Fu: Knowing that I love F4, why do they all look so good-looking?Because seeing them is like seeing me when I was young!I look good too!
