Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 197 That's right, the old man is Li Boyang

"Fang is the Son of Heaven, and I wish to love myself."

Kong Qing didn't know the status of this sentence in Li Shimin's heart, and even Wang Yuanzhi who said this sentence didn't know how much this sentence meant to Li Shimin.

Back then in Luoyang City, Li Shimin, who was full of ambition, was ignited by Wang Yuanzhi's words that ignited the flame in his heart.

That's right, compared to my eldest brother, I am undoubtedly more capable and able to do more things, and I just captured the two kings in a battle, and made a feat far surpassing that of the eldest brother of the prince...

I fought so hard, raised my head and went through life and death, is it just to make my eldest brother the emperor?
Why?
The country that I have laid down by myself must also be governed by me myself!
I must let my Aye see that I am more outstanding than my elder brother Jiancheng, and more suitable to be a prince.

So Li Shimin was more active in campaigning around, winning people's hearts and gathering talents... As a result, he never expected that because what he did was so outstanding, it aroused his father's suspicion instead.

Especially after coming back this time...

Although on the surface, Aye is still very affectionate to him, but he never gives himself a chance to make meritorious service. He would rather trust Yuan Ji, and even hand over the army to the third sister, than let himself take the lead.

This shows what?
Li Shimin felt very depressed, and even wondered whether Wang Yuanzhi was fooling himself at that time.

But today, when I met this old Taoist priest who was obviously an outsider, he actually said that he could be the emperor of Taiping, which immediately gave Li Shimin a little bit of depression and depression a shot in the arm.

Under the excitement, Li Shimin even selectively ignored the condescending tone of the old Taoist priest when he talked to him, and he denied his immortality.

After all, his goal now is to become a prince, and then become an emperor. As for longevity...

For His Majesty King Qin, who is in full bloom and full of vigor and high spirits, it is a matter of luck and loss.

Don't you see that since ancient times, how many smart people who were amazing and brilliant when they were young will indulge in asking immortals, or making alchemy, taking medicine, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha when they are old...

It is because after they reached that age, they realized that their days were numbered.

This is the commonality of human beings!
The so-called "chattering, the sorrow of time and time" refers to the feeling of middle-aged and elderly people watching themselves step by step towards death, and there are still many things they want to do.

And young people will not understand this mentality, just like Li Shimin now.

So he asked enthusiastically.

"The Immortal Elder, what do you think Shimin should do so that Aye will want me to be the prince?"

"Hahaha……"

The old Taoist laughed and shook his head.

"His Royal Highness King Qin was joking. Only today's sages can decide who to be the crown prince. How can someone like Lao Dao be able to say that?"

"The Immortal Elder is too modest..."

Li Shimin said sincerely.

"Although Shimin doesn't know how to cultivate, looking at you like the fairy elder, Shimin feels that you have advanced cultivation and are well-versed in world affairs. You can definitely teach Shimin."

"Ha ha……"

The old Taoist still shook his head, raised the teapot in his hand, added another cup of hot cocoa to Li Shimin, and then spoke slowly.

"However, the old Taoist is also familiar with the Taoist scriptures. I don't know if King Qin is willing to listen to it?"

"Of course!"

Li Shimin said excitedly with hot cocoa in both hands.

"Shimin is very willing!"

The old Taoist nodded, stroked his beard with his hand, and said slowly.

"The so-called way of heaven is like drawing a bow! The high ones suppress it, and the low ones lift it up; those who have excess damage it, and those who lack it make up for it...Does His Highness King Qin understand the reason behind it?"

Li Shimin frowned.

He understood very well what the old Taoist said. After all, their Li family recognized Li Er as their ancestor, and they must recite the Tao Te Ching, otherwise, if people know about it, it would be unfilial!
But he had been figuring it out for a long time, and he couldn't figure out how to make Aye the crown prince from this sentence.

So he tentatively looked at the old Taoist...

"Xianchang, I still don't understand. How about explaining it carefully to Shimin?"

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, the old Taoist smiled and shook his head again.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has an aura in his heart, so why bother to talk about the old way? The so-called way of heaven is to win without fighting, to respond without speaking, to come without calling, and to be scheming. !"

Li Shimin frowned again.

This old Taoist didn't speak briskly at all. He didn't understand the meaning of the sentence just now, but now the other party said another sentence, what is good at winning without fighting, responding without saying anything, and coming without calling... …

Could it be that the throne will fall on his own head if he doesn't do anything?

Just when Li Shimin was in a daze, Fang Xuanling on the side stroked his beard with his hands, and nodded slightly, as if he had gained something.

After seeing this scene, the old Taoist stroked his beard and shook his head, and looked at Fang Xuanling on the side.

"The old man has heard the name 'Fang Mou Du Duan' for a long time. When I saw it today, it really is under the prestige, but it is actually true. Come, please!"

With that said, the old Taoist picked up the teapot and refilled Fang Xuanling with a cup of hot cocoa.

"Where, the fairy elder's words are too flattering to Fang Mou!"

Fang Xuanling picked up the teacup with both hands, and asked the other party to fill him with this strange thing respectfully.

"Fang is just a mediocre."

"Ha ha……"

The old Taoist laughed inexplicably, and then continued.

"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, didn't you Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui already knew from a ghost named Wang Wenang that they would definitely be prime ministers in the future? Being too humble is not a good thing..."

After hearing the old Taoist's words, Fang Xuanling's eyes narrowed instantly.

That's right, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui did encounter a ghost once, and learned from the ghost that they would become prime minister in the future, and the ghost's name was Wang Wenang.

But neither he nor Du Ruhui mentioned this matter to others, and the old Taoist priest in front of him actually knew about it.

"A fox's ghostly words are unbelievable. Somebody is a scholar..."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head slightly, and said modestly.

"As the saying goes, strange powers and chaotic spirits, what you don't say!"

"Ha ha……"

The old Taoist looked at Fang Xuanling and smiled.

"Whether you believe it or not, the old Taoist is very clear in his heart, and I believe you are also very clear. Don't worry, you will definitely get what you want, but the old Taoist has something to say."

After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Fang Xuanling's heart skipped a beat.

"Immortal Elder, please tell..."

"Although you have had a smooth life, a successful career, and ruled the world, but..."

The old Taoist took out a blue whisk from nowhere, held it up, and lightly poked Fang Xuanling's chest.

"You are too negligent in the education of your children. The old man has already seen that your eldest son Fang Yizhi and your second son Fang Yiai are both unsuccessful, and even in the future..."

The old Taoist shook his head slightly.

Although Fang Xuanling didn't show it on the surface, he was actually very shocked in his heart.

Because his newly born son was named Fang Yizhi not long ago, and although the second son said that he is still missing, Fang Xuanling, who is good at planning, has already made many names in his heart, among which he is the best. The name of Xinxin is Fang Yiai.

So, will my child have accidents in the future because of education problems?
It seems that I can't leave the children's education to my wife as I thought before.

But when he thought about how to tell his wife about this matter, Fang Xuanling felt guilty for a while.

"Ha ha……"

The old Taoist looked at Fang Xuanling again, and laughed twice, which made Fang Xuanling feel strange for a while, as if the old Taoist had seen through his thoughts.

"Xianchang..."

At this moment, Li Shimin shook his head with a look of regret.

"After thinking about it for a long time, Shimin still doesn't understand the meaning of what you said."

"Ha ha……"

The old Taoist still didn't answer, but turned his head and looked in another direction.

"Hey, the younger generation came back very quickly today, and even brought some lychees. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin and Fang Xiang are blessed people today, and they can eat fresh lychees."

With that said, the old Taoist stood up, shook the whisk in his hand, and nodded towards the two of them.

"By the way, please ask the King of Qin to overthrow the Son of Heaven on behalf of the old Daoist, saying that the dragon veins of the Tang Dynasty are in the land of Chang'an, and it is absolutely not advisable to move the capital!"

As he said that, the old Taoist nodded again, and then the white air gushed out from his feet, and the clouds and mist were self-generated, and then his body flew up so lightly, just when Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling had just reacted, his body had already It floated to the eaves of the main hall next to it.

Li Shimin stood up in a hurry, and shouted at the old Taoist who flew up.

"Shimin hasn't asked the fairy elder's name yet?"

"Are you asking the old Taoist's name?"

The old Taoist priest who was flying in the air stopped in the air, and then turned his head. Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling saw almost at the same time that a bright halo like the moon appeared behind the old man's head. There is also a dragon that is flickering.

Under this halo, it seems that this old Taoist against the background is going straight to the gods and descending to the mortal world.

Under the background of the halo, the old Taoist smiled at the two of them and spoke in calm words.

"Old Dao is the national surname of Datang, named Boyang!"

"what?"

After hearing the old Taoist's words, both Qin Wang Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling were stunned.

Who is Li Boyang?

It is Li Er, that is, Lao Tzu, who is also the ancestor of the Tang royal family appointed by the sage Li Yuan a few years ago.

In the next moment, Li Shimin had lifted his robe, knelt down on the ground with a bang, and said sincerely.

"Miao descendants of the Li family, have seen distant ancestors!"

"Hahaha……"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, the old Taoist in the air laughed, and Li Shimin who laughed was a little embarrassed.

After all, I still know who my ancestors are.

But what the old Taoist said next made Li Shimin ecstatic.

"After all, the old Taoist is also surnamed Li, and he is almost two thousand years old, so it is not too much to receive a gift from you."

As he spoke, the old Taoist nodded gently towards Li Shimin.

"King Qin, Fang is the Son of Heaven, and I wish to love myself."

After finishing speaking, the old Taoist stepped on the clouds and rose towards the sky. Just after his figure passed the eaves, a white light suddenly rose, and then the old Taoist rose slowly in the white light , and then disappeared without a trace.

"turn out to be……"

Li Shimin looked at the white light that suddenly appeared in the sky, and suddenly realized.

"This white light is the ladder for the ancestors to go up and down the heaven!"
