All Heavens: Start by guarding the light at night

Chapter 97 The King of Tang meets with Ning Que
Chang'an City is like a treasure box, preserving the beauty of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

That kind of magnificence seems to be like the city of order, able to transcend time and space and exist eternally.

The reason why it can produce such a sense of beauty is naturally because there is the Jingshen Formation in Chang'an City, and there are academies and masters outside Chang'an City.

The strongest formation in the world, the strongest unknown place in the world, and the strongest person in the world.

The three strongest ones created an empire that never fell, the Tang Dynasty.

On this day, a father-in-law walked out of the palace and came to Lin 47 Lane, to Lao Bizhai, and then to the academy, taking the trouble to do so.

If he was a big shot who had been hanging around the palace all year round, they would definitely recognize that Eunuch Lin was a popular figure around the emperor and had a very high status.

Eunuch Lin, who had such a high status, did not show any anxiety when handling this matter.

He was ordered by His Majesty to come to the academy to pick up someone.

Ning Que heard the message and came to the father-in-law.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, waited for Ning Que for half a year.

Ning Que didn't know why and asked the father-in-law why he came.

Mr. Lin asked openly: "Did you go to the Imperial Study Room one day last spring?"

Ning Que remembered something. He also had the identity of a secret guard of the Tang Dynasty. He had also written a calligraphy in the Imperial Study Room.

His Majesty, the King of Tang, is going to question himself?Probably not. He is now not only the disciple of Master Yan Se, but also a disciple on the second floor of the academy. This small crime should not be weighed on his head.

Today's His Majesty, even if he is really found, he will hold it in silence. Why would he suddenly send someone to the academy to look for him?

Ning Que didn't deny it either.

Eunuch Lin looked at Ning Que with a smile on his face, and gently stroked his hairless chin.

"As expected, it's you, that's great. This matter is of great importance. To confirm before entering the palace, I asked His Majesty a question."

"what is the problem."

"Your Majesty asked, what is the previous sentence of "flowers bloom in the other side of the sky"?

"Fish leap into the sea right now."

In the palace back then, the Flower Blossom stickers were the redemption of His Majesty, and the Yuyue stickers were also the redemption of Ning Que.

Trapped in the bottleneck of being unable to practice, Ning Que felt very desperate.

After writing the post about blooming flowers, Ning Que's state of mind also improved to a higher level. This is why, in the later days of the academy, Ning Que insisted on going to the old library to see things that non-practitioners would never be able to understand. thing.

Later, it was the same reason why Ning Que was able to stick to his original intention on Zhuque Street and not be swallowed up by the fire of Suzaku.

Fish leaping into the sea at this time, this post is also very important to Ning Que. Without the fish leaping post, Ning Que's mood would not have expanded, and the flower blooming post would not have been born.

"Everyone Ning, let's go?"

The word "everyone" is a recognition of calligraphy, and since the father-in-law is old, he must be a big shot in the palace.

His Majesty the Emperor used calligraphy to find this secret guard who he had never met before. At the same time, with the academy and his relationship with the number one Talisman Master of the Tang Dynasty, Ning Que could be said to have stood at the pinnacle of his life. Expect.

Jin Wucai looked at the royal carriage outside the academy with hesitation on her face. She heard the conversation outside the academy and murmured:
"Your Majesty has been waiting for half a year? What on earth is going on? And the author of Huakai Post is actually Ning Que?"

There was a time when Huakaitie was very famous, because His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty mobilized the whole court to find the author of Huakaitie. I heard that this post gave the Emperor Datang a lot of inspiration.

In the past six months, many orders have been issued from the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty.

The Yulong Gang in Chang'an City has not been reorganized, and no new force has been born.

However, Tang Wang transferred the original power of the Yulong Gang to other places, and it began to take root.

The name of this plan is Qianlong Chuyuan.

At the same time, the power of the Tang government was used to continue to suppress the Guangming Chamber of Commerce from the outside.

Although the Guangming Chamber of Commerce occupied a large number of shops, Datang's tax revenue also increased a bit.

In order to get rid of the constraints of the academy, the King of Tang directly gave up using practitioners and sent many ordinary people to various parts of the Tang Dynasty to investigate matters about the Guangming Chamber of Commerce. He also used the power of the local government to spread news about the Guangming Chamber of Commerce back to the capital. .

King Tang firmly believed that even the power of ordinary people could still make practitioners tremble.

Ning Que enters the palace.

The King of Tang wanted to meet the owner of the flower patch. He wanted to know what a person with such a state of mind was like.

In the eyes of the King of Tang, Ning Que was a mature and prudent middle-aged man in his 30s to 40s.

From being unable to practice to being admitted to the academy, it only took one year. It was truly a legendary life.

Li Zhongyi also thought about joining the master's sect and becoming an idle prince.

He knew very well that after his brother became emperor, it was his death.

Li Zhongyi failed, which was inevitable, because the Master did not lack a disciple like him. For ordinary people, Li Zhongyi was really too ordinary.

This is a world of practitioners. If it were not for the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power would be really weak or even insignificant.

Xiling, Southern Jin, Yuelun, Dahe Kingdom, Song Kingdom, and even the grasslands, most places are decided by practitioners, and the people's operation system is also created by practitioners.

But the Tang Dynasty was a special place. The people were mostly ordinary people, and the status of practitioners was suppressed.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty were in charge of the power of life and death, but most of them were ordinary people, and most of them were worshiped by practitioners.

In an era when ordinary people are in power, it is natural for ordinary people to take charge.

In addition to the first few generations of the Li family, the subsequent Tang kings all adhered to this idea.

The Academy doesn't care about this matter. The Li family seems to be born to be emperor, and every generation always produces a few talented people.

Even if they are the strongest masters in the world, they have to admire these people.

Giving birth to a royal son is like raising a gu.

Only the strongest Gu can survive, and the struggle for power is their mission from birth.

They don't seem to be doing anything wrong.

Unfortunately, this idea of ​​equality between ordinary people and practitioners is destined to not be realized.

This is the world of practitioners, and the vast majority of ordinary people must obey the practitioners.

Even if he is the king of Tang, he still has to be constrained by the academy.

Ning Que sat on the carriage again and entered the palace. His face was not as nervous as before.

This father-in-law would never dare to raise any personnel issues with him.

"You are very proud of yourself. Now that you have become Master's disciple, what are your plans?"

"I don't have any plans. I'm just a small soldier from Weicheng. What plans can I have?"

"How did I hear that you once assassinated retired high-ranking officials in Chang'an City?"

"I am a disciple of the academy. How could I assassinate a retired high-ranking official? It was those people who forcibly labeled me."

Eunuch Lin smiled and did not expose Ning Que, why did the military department label him a soldier from a remote town?

"Is that so?"

This involved a case in the first year of Tianqi, and Eunuch Lin did not dare to say too much.

There are some things that a eunuch cannot say. The reason why he said that was to give Ning Que a warning.

Things in Chang'an City can never escape the eyes of those big shots.

If he was targeted, Ning Que would have committed a capital crime, so it would be possible to kill him first and then punish him later.

Even as a disciple of the academy, before he has grown up, there may still be dead soldiers who attack Ning Que.

Ning Que heard this meaning, so his face was not pretty.

"May I ask my father-in-law, what is the reason why Your Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

"Don't be nervous, His Majesty loves your calligraphy."

"Father-in-law, are you really sure that His Majesty summoned me to the palace because he liked my words, and not because of anything else?"

Eunuch Lin was startled. He thought he had scared the noble man on the second floor. He quickly said: "Of course it's because of that calligraphy. Don't you know how much trouble your painting of Flowers Blooming on the Other Side has caused in Chang'an City?" What’s going on?”

Of course it's not just because of the flowers blooming, but there are some things that a eunuch like him can't say anything about.If he violates the taboo, the King of Tang will definitely be displeased. For a person like him, the emperor is the heaven in his heart. Even if he disobeys Haotian, he must not disobey the King of Tang.

While speaking, Eunuch Lin looked at Ning Que with a meaningful expression and told Ning Que with his expression that it would be good to have peace of mind as long as there are advantages and no disadvantages.Ning Que understood this expression and calmed down a little. Regarding the cruelty in the deep palace, he had read countless stories about the cruelty in the deep palace, whether in his past life or in this life. In his eyes, the palace in Chang'an was like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Now Ning Que only entered the second floor for the first time, so he had such an idea.

When he has established his foothold on the second floor, he will naturally no longer take the palace in his eyes. He will even despise himself today for actually feeling fear when entering the palace.

The second floor of the academy represents the power that is above the imperial power. Even the current Emperor is still his junior.

"Besides practicing cultivation since childhood, I have always loved getting promoted and getting rich. If I had known that His Majesty the Emperor would like my writing and still work hard to find ordinary people, I would definitely go straight to the imperial city with the most wonderful book I have written in my life. If you shout that I am who I am, haha, I am afraid that I will be beaten out by the guards."

Ning Que used a half-joking tone to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Eunuch Lin looked at the giggling Ning Que and responded with a smile, "If you really rush into the palace with the scroll in your hand, the imperial guards will definitely not let you in. How can the guards beat you? I have heard about you as a secret guard. With your identity, those guards will not only not beat you, but they might even help you."

Along the way, the two chatted wordlessly, which made Ning Que understand the truth. The palace's news network is very wide.

Maybe someone had already found out about Huakai Tie, but due to Ning Que's embarrassing identity, he didn't tell him.

Ning Que is a secret guard and a disciple of the academy.

If His Majesty were to find out, it was the secret guard who entered the imperial study.

This suspicious majesty will probably have to clean up the minions among the dark guards.

Being a student of the academy is indeed not easy to figure out, but for His Majesty the Emperor, who is the leader of thousands of people, it is only a little troublesome.

Some people did not dare to disclose the information to His Majesty because of the senior management of the Dark Guard. Therefore, as for the identity of the author of the Flower Blossom Post, they could only find out that this person was not there.

Now, Ning Que has become Yan Se's disciple and even climbed to the second floor.

The status is so high that it is no longer the same as before.

Even if he collided with the King of Tang in person, he could still escape unscathed because he was a disciple of the academy, an academy that was above the imperial power.

Not only will Ning Que's writing about Hua Kai Tie not cause trouble, but it will also bring the relationship between Prince Tang and Ning Que closer.

Entering the palace from the side door is a smooth journey.

The route was the same as last time, but Ning Que felt more at ease.

Standing in his current position, the inner courtyard of the palace could no longer make him feel the slightest awe. He could only regard it as an ordinary luxurious building.

Arriving in front of the Imperial Study Room, he looked at the high threshold in front of him with no expression in his eyes. After adjusting his clothes, he stepped inside.

Looking at these long-lost pens, inks, paper and inkstones, smelling the scent of mud and ink hidden deep in my memory, I remembered what happened here last year.

At that time, Ning Que was just a commoner. However, he followed Chao Xiaoshu into the palace and received an identity. However, he accidentally stumbled into the imperial study room and even used His Majesty's pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a calligraphy.

If he didn't have the identity of Yan Se's disciple and the second floor of the academy, he would probably be thrown into death row.

Breaking into the royal study without permission is a capital crime and may even involve the entire team of dark guards.

After all, this is the emperor's territory, and the emperor's words can make the difference between life and death.

There was a middle-aged man standing in front of the bookshelf, with his back to the main entrance of the imperial study. He was wearing a plain thin cotton shirt. He was tall and thin, but he had an aura of looking down on the world.

Ning Que could guess that this is His Majesty the current Emperor.

Eunuch Lin did not give any instructions, and did not even enter the imperial study room.

Ordinary people will kneel down when they see officials, and they will naturally kneel down when they see the emperor.

If it were before, Ning Que would definitely not hesitate, he would definitely kneel down, because he took his life very seriously.

Today was different from the past, he didn't want to kneel down.

After becoming a practitioner, when he looked at ordinary people, there was a different emotion in his eyes.

It was so fragile that it even felt like death if touched.

Ning Que knew very well that this was very bad and had deviated from his original intention.

But he has already embarked on the path of spiritual practice and will never give up.

In half a year, he went from being a waste who couldn't practice all the way to the cave. His realm was like flying on a rocket.

The middle-aged man in front of the case had turned around and saw Ning Que.

Li Zhongyi saw Ning Que's embarrassment, smiled and said:

"It's not an altar ceremony, there's no need to kneel."

After listening to the middle-aged emperor's words, Ning Que developed a slight liking for the emperor. In his imagination, emperors were all majestic and dominating the world, but the emperor in front of him looked gentler.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I heard that you are my secret guard?"

"Yes."

"You are too secretive as a secret guard. Even I don't know about it."

Li Zhongyi took out a bookmark from the bookshelf, stuck it in the book he was looking at, and then asked: "How did you get into this room last year?"

Ning Que was greatly affected by the gentleness of the Tang Prince, and felt a little disappointed in his heart, and said softly:

"Last year, students received their errands and were brought here to wait."

"Why did you enter my imperial study room as an errand? No one saw you at that time?"

"No one should know."

Ning Que did not reveal the person who gave him the secret guard badge. Although the person scolded him, he was really kind-hearted.

If Commander Xu is revealed, it will probably cause a bloody storm in the palace.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, everyone is smiling, even the emperor who looks so cheerful now, who knows what kind of person he is behind the scenes.

The royal family has never been a fuel-efficient lamp.

"You have a good character. No wonder Chao Er thought highly of you."

The two chatted and gradually became acquainted. Li Zhongyi expressed his yearning for the academy and envied Ning Que for being admitted to the academy.

Ning Que wondered why the Emperor wanted to talk so much nonsense to him.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sitting on the most fertile land in the world, has the most people in the world, and can decide the life and death of countless people with one word. He is definitely not a sentimental person, and it is impossible for him to talk so much with one person. nonsense.

"come here."

Li Zhongyi spread the calligraphy on the table and asked, "Did you write this calligraphy?"

"It is indeed a ridiculous thing the students did that day."

"Not ridiculous, not ridiculous at all. I like your words very much."

Li Zhongyi was very satisfied with the young man in front of him. Even though he was a disciple on the second floor, he could still speak to him patiently without being arrogant or impetuous.

He really likes this calligraphy very much. The calligraphy is good, the artistic conception is good, and the person is even better.

Flowers bloom on the other side of the world. These five characters helped him survive the darkest moment and allowed him to regain control of his rights in the world.

Of course, the power in the world is controlled by mortals.

"I worked so hard to find you."

"The fish are leaping into the sea now, and the flowers are blooming in the sky on the other side. What an artistic conception this is. When Master Yan Se read this sentence, he also said it was very good. He even felt that his realm had made a breakthrough. It can be seen that this sentence It's not easy."

"Now that you are here, why don't you complete this poem? Let me grind the ink for you."

After hearing this, Ning Que quickly waved his hands and said: "How can this be done? As for the two couplets of the fish leaping into the sea at this time, it was originally obtained by His Majesty's skillful hand, and the student was just a copying method. Thank you again today. Your Majesty has precious gems in front of you. How can the student dare to hide his clumsiness?" "

Li Zhongyi was very satisfied with having one student at a time. His disciples also called him teacher. What an honor it was.

Thinking about the other disciples in the back mountain, all of them looked aloof and did not take His Majesty the King of Tang seriously. The Ning Que in front of him made Li Zhongyi think that he was a piece of cake.

King Tang did not talk about any cooperation, nor did he make any promises.

Just use words to get closer to Ning Que.

He wanted this person who had just entered the back mountain of the academy to do something for him.

As long as you can help him at the critical moment, then all the courtesy today will be in vain.

　I'm sick. If you want to thank me, I'll write it tomorrow.
