Great Sui Guoshi

These eight words are not clichés such as prosperous business and abundant wealth, but to make the store pay more attention to the way of hospitality in the future, and not to persuade the store to deceive others.

The shopkeeper picked up the paper, looked at the eight characters on it, his face was flushed with excitement, and he bent over and nodded. ,

"Mr. Xie's suggestion, Mr. Xie's persuasion, I will be hung up in the most conspicuous position in the hall!"

After sending it to the door, after another bow, he quickly called the staff to find the best paper maker in the city, and then entered the inn, looking around to see where it would be the most suitable place to hang.

......

On the long street, the bustling pedestrians were still talking about what happened just now. Lu Liangsheng took the old donkey from Lu Pan and walked not far away with the guards. There was already a carriage waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Lu, please get in the carriage."

"No, the nine people behind me will come with me, how can I go ahead by car alone."

Declining to take the carriage, Lu Pan led the old donkey and walked to the front. Lu Pan laughed a few times, patted the shoulder of the head of the guards, and quickly followed the eldest nephew with the burden on his shoulders.

Old Sun naturally followed closely behind, waving at the guard: "Don't look, hurry up and lead the way, the Mr. Lu you are talking about is this virtuous, boring person."

That's what he said, but he has known Lu Liangsheng for many years and has not left. It is also because of Lu Dashu's behavior that he is convinced. If he were someone else, he would have gone out of the world long ago.

The leader of the guards sighed, and instead of getting on his horse, he called his subordinates and the carriage over there, and followed them through the bustling long streets to the palace.

The sun is slanting, and the reddish afterglow shines on the ancient city wall from the west.

woo-

Soon, the majestic and majestic sound of the horn resounded through the four corners of the imperial city, echoing over the sky at dusk.

Chapter 433 Jade Seal

The palace walls with red walls and yellow tiles are extended, and the palace halls of the imperial city are unfolded row by row.

The banners were fluttering, and in the sight of the guards standing on duty, the eunuch proclaiming the decree stepped out of the Hanyuan Hall with small steps, stood on the side of the gate hall, and shouted outwards.

"Please invite Qixia Mountain to show the real person—"

On the square paved by Baiyan, Lu Liangsheng patted the anxious old donkey to keep it from running around, turned around and told Lu Pan, Lao Sun and others to wait here, and then, just like this, dressed in a blue shirt and white robe, bathed in the setting sun Yu Hui walked up the stone steps step by step. The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty standing on both sides knew who the opponent was, but they were surprised by the age of the opponent. They couldn't help squinting slightly at the walking scholar.

When we arrived at the gate of the palace, the two little yellow gates who were waiting came up to search, when we heard the emperor's voice from inside.

"Don't be rude!"

They quickly bowed and stepped aside, this was their duty, Lu Liangsheng smiled and nodded at the two, lifted the hem of his robe, and stepped into the hall.

In the Hanyuan Hall, one can hear people's breathing quietly. Among the civil and military officials standing on both sides, many people cast their eyes on the scholars who walked into the hall. Most of them have only heard the name, and even Some people just found out, only to find out that they are more than double ten, and the green shirt and white robe look too young.

Naturally, Lu Liangsheng could sense the gazes from both sides. He hadn't seen any scene before, and his steps were neither too fast nor too slow. He spread his sleeves and arched his hands.

"Lu Liangsheng in Qixia Mountain, met the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty!"

"Sir, there is no need to worship. I have said before that if you are right or not, you will be given a high seat in the hall." Yang Jian raised his hand, and a guard brought a big chair and put it on the lower right side of the Longting.

"Mr. Lu, please!"

The emperor stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation. The scholar standing in the court arched his hands, glanced at the big chair, turned around and walked to the other side of Yang Su to stand still.

This made all the ministers look at each other in blank dismay, and some people stroked their beards and nodded in appreciation.

On the Dragon Court, Yang Jian frowned slightly: "Sir, why are you doing this?"

"His Majesty!"

Lu Liangsheng, who stood in front of the general, arched his hands and said, "I am not only practicing Taoism, but also Confucianism. Your Majesty is a wise king. How can you sit with him in the palace?"

Lu Liangsheng's 'ladder' made Yang Jian feel comfortable. However, he was born in Prajna Temple and was brought up by nuns. In addition, the queen advocated Buddhism and knew the Shamen's theory of worshiping Sakyamuni and not kneeling to the king. I don't think so, now that you are the emperor, that's another view.

"Haha, I forgot, the real person is also a scholar who has read through the classics of saints."

The laughter was heroic, and he no longer entangled in the question of whether to sit or not. Yang Jian stepped down from the dragon chair, and the eunuch under the imperial steps waved to the side knowingly. There is yellow silk on the top cover, and nothing can be seen, but one of them shows a square outline, which is probably a kind of jade seal.

The eunuch in front of the hall cautiously stepped forward, put his hands in his hands, and uncovered the yellow silk on it, revealing a crown of hair, and a neatly folded black and purple gold-rimmed robe behind it.

"...a heavenly crown, a robe with black strands bronzing and water patterns, and a pair of purple gold auspicious cloud shoes."

Registration continued, and at the last item, the eunuch took out a mahogany copper button box from under the yellow silk, turned around with a bent body, Yang Jian came down from the court, and reached out to touch the wooden box, "Mr. Lu, this is what I want to entrust." For you."

The wooden box was slowly opened, and the emperor took out a jade seal of jasper and green onions from the inside. The jade carving on the top showed a lin beast raising its head and hooves, and there was a jade toad on one side. It was exquisite and rigorous. .

"...Mr. Chang Guan was carrying a big toad, and he was accompanied by a lin beast, so he was carved on it." Yang Jian took the jade seal, turned it over to reveal the bottom, and engraved "Sui Guoshi Seal" on it. With one word, he solemnly put the jade seal in his hand and handed it over: "Mr. Lu, I entrust the well-being of the Sui people to you!"

Looking at the jade seal handed in front of him, Lu Liangsheng took a deep breath, took a half step back, took it with both hands while bowing, and touched the seal with his fingertips, a wave of warmth flowed down his palms to his whole body, converging on the jade seal. Entering the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, it seems that there are countless voices buzzing in the dark speaking words, and then fell silent for a moment.

Could these voices be the appeals of the people in Kyushu?

"Mr. Lu?"

Yang Jian's voice came to his ears, and Lu Liangsheng, who was holding the jade seal, suddenly came back to his senses, only to find that in the hall, all the civil and military eyes were looking at this side.

Glancing at the jade seal, Lu Liangsheng said to them with a smile: "Your Majesty entrusted him too much. Lu Liangsheng lost his composure just now, which made His Majesty and other civil and military ministers laugh at him."

"Hahaha--"

Yang Jian also laughed, the jade seal and robes of the national teacher had been handed over to Mr. Lu, and he walked up to Longting in a good mood.

"By the way, I have decided to allocate a palace in the imperial city for you to use as a residence for blessings and rituals..."

"His Majesty!"

Below, Lu Liangsheng put away the jade seal, cupped his hands and snatched the words: "There is no need to dial the palace. I am used to being carefree. I am a little restrained in the imperial city. I think the Furong Pond in the southeast of Chang'an is still good, and it is good with the Northeast." Mount Li is close, so the National Teacher should be standing there."

The surrounding officials, both civil and military, had no objections. Furong Pond was originally a gap in the southeast corner of Chang'an City, and it was mostly a place for the children of the city to go outing on weekdays. Relatively living in the imperial city, they had to go there.

They cupped their hands and bowed one by one: "The ministers and others seconded the proposal."

"Forget it, that place is still close to Lishan Mountain. I think it will be of great benefit to my master's cultivation, so I won't force it."

Yang Jian tapped his fingertips and looked at the bowed figures. He didn't know what the courtiers meant. It was indeed something wrong for a young person to live in the palace, so he nodded and settled the matter.

After speaking, the court meeting is over, and he stood up and waved to a group of civil and military personnel: "Come on, let me and the national teacher take a look at Furong Pond, let's talk about what we want to build, another day, we have to go Let's listen to it and make a big sacrifice."

"Yes!"

All civil and military officials said in unison, and quit. Min Changwen went out with the crowd, looked back at the scholar who was walking with the emperor and the Duke of Yue, chuckled twice, shook his head, and left with his colleagues.

Lu Liangsheng bid farewell to Yang Jian for the time being, it was impossible to ride in the imperial chariot, and when he left the Hanyuan Hall, he asked the Taoist priest to lead the old donkey, and led Lu Pan and eight people to go there first, while he himself had to go with the Duke of Yue.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

"Duke Yue, please!"

The two boarded the carriage of the Duke's mansion and followed the ministers to Furong Pond in the southeast.

bang bang bang~~

The shaft of the carriage ran over the long street, one or two carriages left Danfengmen, passed Yongxingfang and Dongshi, and there was a carriage behind with the curtain down. Yang Su looked back from the street scene, poured wine, and handed it to Lu who was sitting opposite him. Good life.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know why His Majesty asked civil and military officials to accompany you all the way?"

"I don't know? Please ask Duke Yue to clarify."

"Your Majesty called the ministers, hoping that after a while, fellow daoists can come up with some skills to silence those who have objections."

Perhaps thinking of what happened to the scholar back then, Yang Su suddenly chuckled, put down his glass, and explained: "Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand, it's not a trick."

Hearing the old man's words, Lu Liangsheng understood the meaning. In fact, he didn't take what happened back then. After thinking about it, he probably knew what to do.

In the sleeve, a thin scale slipped down the palm, and then squeezed tightly to transmit the mana.

The carriage slammed forward, Lu Liangsheng took back the thin scale, and looked at the corner of the curtain that was blown by the wind from time to time. In the glow outside the gap, pedestrians flocked. The wish made many years ago was unexpectedly realized here.

"I remember the first time I saw such a bustling street scene in a big city, it was when I was in Tianzhi. At that time, I wanted to do something and live up to my teacher's teachings."

"Hehe." Yang Su lightly smiled and brushed his long white beard, looking at the young man looking at the street scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's all Huaxia, and it's the same here."

Chapter 434 The Purple Mountain View Falling from the Sky

The Furong Pond in the southeast corner of Chang’an is as big as three or four workshops, shaped like a broken vase, and several water channels are connected to the Wei River and the Jing River. The lake is meandering, and there are reeds growing on the shore. Birds land on it and sway gently.

The sky is tilted, and a piece of residual red is shining from the distant city.

quack~~

In the rays of the sun, the water surface undulates to reflect the sparkling light, the wild ducks are wandering, and there are gifted scholars and beautiful ladies embracing each other in the gazebo in the distance, whispering love words, and then... a few loud donkey brays broke the atmosphere , an old donkey was happily jumping along the river bank with its bald tail on its back.

The embracing man and woman separated quickly, straightened their robes and came out, the man wanted to go over and argue, but the woman beside him pulled him back, and quietly pointed to a group of nine people who were not far from the old donkey.

"...He is not a good person at first sight, Zhao Lang, let's go quickly."

"Well, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let's go."

Over there, Sun Yingxian watched the pair of men and women in the gazebo leave in a hurry with a grass root in his mouth, and spat out the grass root: "I have no eyesight."

Lu Pan, who was carrying a burden on his back and carrying a knife and gun, looked around, pointing stammeringly at the Hibiscus Pond sparkling in the setting sun, and the nearby land.

"My mother, from now on, we will all belong to the good students of our family?"

The Taoist watched the couple run away in a carriage, snorted and squatted on the ground, staring at a group of ducks swimming past the lake, and tapped his fingers a few times, as if counting them.

"What is that? As long as the emperor doesn't go back on his word, the descendants will be the same for generations. If you want, Qixia Mountain can be named Lu..."

The eight people looked at each other, and Qiqi yelled at him.

"Qixia Mountain was originally named Lu!!"

The Taoist was a little stunned, and was about to refute, when the sound of galloping horseshoes came rumblingly towards this side, and in the red glow, several teams of imperial city cavalry rushed over, holding their weapons and shouting: "People here, hurry up!" Separate, don't get close to Furong Pond for three hundred steps!"

The knights had already dispersed the people who were outing nearby, or the officials' children, and set up a safe distance. Soon, hundreds of carriages came slowly and orderly, and under the command of the soldiers, they stopped nearby one by one.

After a while, officials, big and small, got out of the car and chased each other. They clasped their hands together, chatted and laughed a few times, and walked to the open place together, looking at the scenery while waiting for His Majesty to come over.

"I've been to this place a few days ago, and it's considered one of the nicest places in the city."

"Unfortunately, there are too many mosquitoes, it's not as comfortable as listening to music in the attic..."

"By the way, what do you think of this national teacher?"

"Of course it's good, it doesn't matter what His Majesty likes."

"...But my lords, don't you think this person is too young?"

"Indeed there are some. According to His Majesty, this person knows spells, but the Duke of Yue can also do it. Could it be that he is even more powerful than the Duke of Yue?"

"That scholar rushed into the Nanchen Palace and smashed Chen Shubao's Golden Palace! The Duke of Yue is incomparable..."

"That's the truth... Hey, no, even if Duke Yue could compete, he wouldn't dare."

In the distance, Taoist Toad quietly opened the small door, slid down from the bookshelf, and walked to the side of the squatting Taoist with his flippers on his back.

"Where are those people doing?"

"What else can you do, wait for your precious apprentice." The Taoist picked up a stone and threw it into the water, and in the ripples that opened, the civil and military people who gathered and talked over there shouted loudly: "Duke Yue's carriage is here, your majesty!" It's probably coming soon."

Sun Yingxian, Hamo, and Lu Pan turned their heads, and a carriage drove up on the road ahead, and the driver stopped nearby with a whimpering sound.

Yang Su shook his wide sleeves and came down to salute with the surrounding officials. Behind the stroking car curtain, Lu Liangsheng followed and stood on the car. The shimmering lake greeted his eyes with flocks of wild ducks.

'is a good place. '

After getting out of the car, I met and greeted all the officials who came over one by one, and smiled when I saw Min Changwen in the crowd.

"Master Min, long time no see."

In terms of officials, if it was in private, it would not be an exaggeration for Lu Liangsheng to call him uncle, but now that there are all officials, it is easy for Min Changwen, who has always been neutral in the court, to say this clearly.

The old man naturally understood this, he just smiled and cupped his hands, and exchanged a few words with Lu Liangsheng.

"Then Master Min is talking to his colleagues, I will leave first."

Talking and chatting with Han Qinhu, Shi Wansui and others who have met once, they are not as cold as the worldly masters, but like a casual and easy-going son Pianpian, towards the Taoist by the lake, Lu Pan Wait for someone to go.

"Master, how long have you been here?"

"It's been a while, Liangsheng. As a teacher, I think this place is good, with lake water and reeds." Taoist Toad stared at a few gray wild ducks swimming by not far from the water, "It's... quite wild fun."

The frog web patted the Taoist next to him, and the latter pulled the Taoist robe: "If you want to eat, grab it yourself, haven't you recovered your Taoism? You can't catch a few ducks?"

"This old man doesn't want to use the demonic power in the city, so as not to attract the city god and cause trouble for the good students. If you catch it yourself..."
