283. The old man who practices Taoism (14) (1/2)

The emperor left the palace again.

Yes, after being assassinated outside the palace for the second time, he left the palace for the third time.

Along the way, he held his little kitten in his arms and smiled under the frightened gazes of the guards, until he entered the courtyard and saw an old man who looked fifty years old but looked younger than Mr. Wei.

The emperor was immediately shocked. His original hesitation and hesitation disappeared without a trace after seeing this young and handsome face.

The old lady and the old god said that they could help the emperor relieve his daughter's fragrance.

The emperor immediately refused, hugging his precious milk cat as if he were holding some treasure, "I have never had such happiness since I was born. With it, even if it is approved for a day and a night, there will be no such joy." It's not a bit tiring. Since the Marquis also said that this daughter's fragrance has no other harm than making me like her, why should I untie it. "

"If those women who are liked by the ministers were not sent by the King of Liang, I would not order them to be killed. I came to Lord Marquis today just to ask if there is a way to extend the life of this cat so that he can always be with you. With me.”

Wei Mingyan was not surprised at all when he asked this. He just sat on the stone bench and made a pot of tea for the emperor.

"Your Majesty is destined to get this cat. Cats are born with wealth."

The emperor took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I am rich all over the world and my treasury is abundant, so I don't need this wealth."

"Your Majesty said so."

Wei Mingyan chuckled lightly and refilled the tea for him. He raised his eyes slightly and smiled at the fair face of a young man who didn't look like he was fifty years old at all. "Your Majesty wants to keep this cat alive for a long time. The problem is that the theory of becoming a spirit may not work as expected. "

The emperor was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it would be good if he could keep the cat alive for a longer time, so he still had the patience to hear what he had to do to keep his obedient companion with him for a long time.

"National Pulse?"

"Exactly." Wei Mingyan stretched out his hand and touched the milk cat that was eating on the table the dried fish that the chef in the royal kitchen had made last night. "As long as your majesty agrees, I can tie the national line to it, and in the future , As long as my country of Ye is alive, this cat can live for a day. If the country of Ye is prosperous, it will be strong. If the country of Ye is destroyed, it will die."

Although the emperor loves cats, he is still the emperor of the Ye Kingdom. He pondered for a moment and asked directly, "What if the Ye Kingdom is still there, but it has an accident?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The purpose of tying a thread of the national line to it is just to prolong its life. If someone really does anything to it, at most it will only be returned after its death."

Seeing the hesitant look on the emperor's face, Wei Mingyan urged, "One more thing, if something happens to our Ye country, whether it is a natural disaster or a riot, as long as it affects most of the people of Ye country, the national lineage If it is damaged, the cat will also change according to the national lineage, for example, it should not be older. "

"If His Majesty really wants to extend its life, Ye Guo cannot make any mistakes."

It sounded like he hadn't said it before. He was the emperor of Ye State. How could he still watch something happen to Ye State?

He just heard it in the emperor's ears, but in his heart he changed the words 'Guomai can continue his own life' to 'He can continue his life'.

Without any further hesitation, the emperor quickly made his decision.

In the future, even for his obedience, he must keep his spirits up and protect Ye Guo.

After touching the cat's head, Wei Mingyan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, cats are born with wealth. Why don't I write a few words and let it choose one?"

The emperor had agreed to such a big thing as the national line. It was just a matter of choosing a word. There was nothing to avoid. He agreed. Wei Mingyan called someone to write down the four words southeast, northwest and northwest and cut them into notes for the cat to choose.

The white cat stepped on the table, holding something written on it in its mouth, and folded it under its body.

At this moment, the emperor was watching his darling being cute and well-behaved no matter what he did. He saw that he seemed to like the piece of paper very much, lying on it and biting it non-stop. His expression was gentle and loving, and he thought that he would wait until he returned to the palace. I must get a box of paper for him to play with.

Wei Mingyan over there stood up, counting something with his hands.

Finally, he came to the conclusion, "Your Majesty, can you send someone to go west, keep going west, encounter mountains and mountains, encounter water and take a boat until the thirtieth day, dig in that place, and you will definitely find treasure."

He said with such certainty that the emperor's original intention of teasing the cat settled down.

"Okay, I'll send someone right away."

After he left the yard, Mrs. Wei, who had been waiting for her, dared to come to the father-in-law, "Father, the matter about Yan Niang..."

"What's wrong with Yan Niang?" Wei Mingyan collected the papers on the table and asked softly, "Didn't you already see her yesterday?"

Mrs. Wei wiped her dry eyes. Yesterday, she finally saw her sister. She had grown up, taller and looked very beautiful. The two sisters were affectionate and talked all night.

Although her husband was terribly frightened and had been hiding in the study, Mrs. Wei was very satisfied with the feeling of being able to see her dead sister.

But my sister said it was time for her to go.

She couldn't bear it.

If only, it would be great if Yan Niang could always be by her side...

"There is no such thing as giving up or not, only good and bad."

Wei Mingyan stood up, "Yan Niang has been lingering for too long. If you are really doing her best, let her go."

"It's the best choice for her to leave tonight."

Mrs. Wei cried so hard that she couldn't stand still. Finally, she bowed and returned to her courtyard.

"Yan Niang, why don't you stay with your sister and paint a picture?"

The pale woman sat shyly and smiled shyly.

***

Wei Mingyan was drawing an umbrella, which was in full bloom and looked like a flower.

After finishing the painting, he threw the paper into the fire, and when he turned around again, he had a white umbrella in his hand.

"Use this to pick her up."

With tears in his eyes, the shadow in front of him took the umbrella, blessed himself, and turned around to leave.

She held an umbrella and kept walking forward.

Walking through the streets and alleys, passing every living person.

The cries of vendors, the shrill laughter of children, and the sound of a person talking.

So is this place so lively?

A smile appeared on her pale face, she held an umbrella, gently opened her feet, and stepped into the palace.

Once inside, the bustle outside seemed to be cut off. Even the servants were doing their work silently, not daring to say a word.

Yan Niang didn't look at them, but walked all the way to a courtyard.

It is full of strong medicinal smell. The woman in front of the window has just released the carrier pigeon. The carrier pigeon will fly to the palace, and in the hands of her imperial uncle, she will expose the crimes in this huge palace.

She was wearing a middle coat, and when she turned around, her face was still beautiful even though she was pale.

She was not surprised at all when she saw Yan Niang holding an umbrella, and even smiled with surprise. She walked a few steps quickly, took Yan Niang's hand, and said softly, "Yan Niang, come and pick me up. ”

Yan Niang nodded and rested her head on her shoulder.

She hugged Yan Niang like a child, patted her back gently, and said warmly, "He thought he could imprison me and threaten me with the people in my courtyard, but he forgot , I am a member of the royal family, the daughter of the eldest princess. I have handed over the evidence of his crime. His son has also become a eunuch. He is so stupid. The prince is not my biological son. Why should I kill you? I just thought that I wouldn’t do anything to the prince, and even he himself would be decapitated.”

"Yan Niang, I have avenged you."

"Don't be afraid, no one will hurt you again."

"In the next life, will you be my daughter?"

Yan Niang nodded, held an umbrella, and went out with her.

The sun was scorching hot. The two women walked under the umbrella and left the palace step by step.

Not long after, a maid came into the house carrying a medicine bowl.

"Princess, it's time to take medicine...Princess??Princess??Someone is coming, someone is coming!!"

Before the news of Princess Liang's death reached the palace, thousands of elite soldiers surrounded Prince Liang's mansion.

The list of people who participated in the rebellion was quickly reviewed. For example, the Prince of Liang and the Prince of Liang were tortured and directly pushed into the execution ground and beheaded in public. The accomplices who were implicated were required to eat well. After a lot of suffering, they would choose a day to behead them together.

Mr. Wei's subordinate, Han Yuan, was tortured for two months.

He is also a rare tough guy. No matter what he said or did to force a confession, he was bitten to death without knowing it. He stayed in prison for two months and committed such a serious crime as rebellion. He would have been dying long ago. Even if the emperor really If he lets someone out because he refuses to admit it, he probably won't live long.

Han Yuan gradually regretted why he had hooked up with Prince Liang and why he wanted to frame Wei Ziqing, who had always regarded him as his best friend.

He was really jealous of Wei Ziqing.

His father was a marquis, and he was appreciated by the superior officials and admired by the people below him. Even if he only worked in silence all day long and he tried his best to please everyone, everyone would praise Wei Ziqing instead of Han Yuan.

What's so good about Wei Ziqing? It's just that his father is a marquis. This is how the world is. No matter how well he does, as long as others know that he is a farmer's son, they will never have a close relationship with him. There is only one Wei Ziqing who is stupid. He was nice to him, but the nicer he was to Han Won, the more jealous Han Won became.

Why?

Why is it that he is not the son of the Marquis? Why is it that he is not the one appreciated by Shangguan?

Therefore, when he learned from the crown prince that there was even a gold mine in Wei Ziqing's home, jealousy quickly filled his heart.

After learning about his daughter's fragrance, he took the initiative to suggest that Wei Ziqing should be tainted with his daughter's fragrance so that he could obtain gold mines for the King of Liang.

He wanted to watch Wei Ziqing, who was praised by everyone, turn into a female yes-man from the land of fireworks.

But in the end, why did it become like this...

The jailer outside was chatting, his voice full of envy, "I heard that Mr. Wei donated a gold mine to the emperor, and now he is named a marquis. He is a double marquis. Why can't such a good thing be shared with me? body."

Han Yuan was stunned immediately. His hands were full of blood scabs and he rushed to the door desperately, "Wei Ziqing, are you talking about Wei Ziqing?"

"Eh? He has been here for two months, and he still knows Master Wei."

Wei Ziqing...

Is it really him? Has he been named a Marquis?

Because of that gold mine?

Han Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and he knocked on the door in a hoarse voice, "I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty, I have something your Majesty wants to know!"

Han Yuan, covered in blood and stains, was finally dragged in front of the emperor, and Mr. Wei happened to be there too. He glanced at the embarrassment of his former subordinate with a complicated expression. Not only was he not relieved, but he felt a touch of melancholy in his heart.

"Your Majesty!" Han Yuan knelt on the ground in embarrassment, "I am reporting Wei Ziqing. Report him. He has known about the gold mine for a long time and tried to embezzle it for himself."

Mr. Wei: "Ah?"

The emperor hugged his darling and only glanced at the confused expression on Mr. Wei's face below to know that he was indeed unaware. He spent his days dealing with officials who had become elites, how could he not even look at Wei Ziqing? through.

What's more, the emperor looked down at the white cat sleeping soundly in his arms, his eyes full of pride.

That gold mine was clearly found by him.

"Okay, you don't have to drag around anymore. Look at Ziqing, does it look like he already knew it? Someone, pull him down and chop him down."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!! Wei Ziqing!! You can fool others, but you can't fool me!! No matter how much you pretend to be ignorant, you have already known about the gold mine!!"

"Your Majesty!! Wei Ziqing is very scheming. He is deceiving you, Your Majesty..."

Han Won's voice gradually faded away.

Mr. Wei: "..."

This Han Yuan unexpectedly hated him to the point of making up lies.

If he had known about the gold mine for a long time, would he still have to live such a miserable life every day?
