Xianzun becomes a showman as soon as he loses his memory

"You mean... His Majesty canonized an unknown national teacher on the altar in front of all civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty?"

Inside the walls of the Imperial Palace, a middle-aged woman dressed in fine clothes and dignified was walking leisurely on the path of the imperial garden, her slender fingers fiddled with the flower buds along the way, while turning her head and casually talking to the maid beside her .

This middle-aged beautiful woman looks to be only 36 or [-] years old. She has a graceful appearance and luxurious clothes. Her black hair is pulled up with steps, her well-maintained nails are long, and she curls up slightly when she speaks. She looks exactly like the Empress Dowager of Qingyun Kingdom.

As the leader of the party who once covered the sky with one hand, the queen mother is naturally not an ignorant woman raised in a deep boudoir. Since the general's party power has become more and more powerful, she has turned from light to darkness, and she has never let up on the little emperor's secret attention .

Now, Qingyun Kingdom's position of national teacher, which has been vacant for a long time, has been settled. Although she couldn't see such a major event with her own eyes, she still knew about it as quickly as possible through the envy outside the palace.

In front of her, her confidant maid lowered her head, softly reporting the news she had found from outside the palace.

"Empress Dowager, it is absolutely true that your slaves dare to risk their lives. At that time, when countless people saw His Majesty praying on the stage, an immortal suddenly descended from the sky and performed miracles. It was a clear blessing. Your Majesty was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately worshiped the immortal National Division."

The queen mother picked off a red-core peony lightly, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly, then threw the peony on the ground, stepped on the flower plate with the tip of her embroidered shoe and rolled it, as if filled with hatred Like resentment, the flower juice from the trampling soon stained her embroidered shoes with some color.

"My son is really promising!" She narrowed her eyes and said in a cold tone, "He was able to turn against the general at such a critical moment."

"The position of the national teacher has been vacant for 53 years. How can a fairy pop up so easily in the world? Isn't it like Xie Jiang, who found a liar Taoist priest with some strange skills everywhere, and put him on the altar. Pretending to be a fairy who descended to earth, he casually coaxed those ignorant and foolish people."

The little maid was frightened by her queen mother's cold tone, she didn't dare to say more, so she had to lower her head even more.

After the empress dowager got angry, Fangcai let out a long breath, regained her previous grace and demeanor, raised her skirt and lifted her feet away from the peony that was trampled into a puddle of mud on the ground, and said with a soft smile: "After being the emperor for so many years, finally It’s a bit of progress, knowing that you can no longer be arbitrarily held in the palm of your hand.”

"He dared to fight Xie Jiang face to face, which really surprised the Ai family, but I don't know, even if the wings are hard, it is not known whether the bird can fly out of the palms of those rebellious officials and thieves..."

Speaking of this, the Empress Dowager's eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to straighten the hair on her temples, but the smile on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged: "After all, the great general Xie Jiang is also a rough man who was polished on the battlefield, not like Aijia With such a motherly heart, she will never hold back from His Majesty."

Although she was smiling when she said this, there was no smile in the depths of her eyes, only cold guard and indifference remained.

Although Bai Ziyun was her own son, the queen mother had already tasted the taste of power after controlling the court for so many years. Naturally, she always hoped that her son would be a qualified puppet and shield, and did not want him to have his own ideas.

Now, although Bai Ziyun slapped Xie Jiang in the face in public, after the initial gloating, the queen mother became wary of her own son.

After all, just like what she said, the chick's wings are gradually becoming stronger, and she is no longer willing to be manipulated by others. If she can slap Xie Jiang in the face today, she will naturally disobey her mother tomorrow.

Of course she didn't want to see that day.

Seeing the cloudy and sunny complexion of her own queen mother, the little maid waited on her carefully, and after a long while, she found an opportunity and suggested: "My queen mother, it is rumored that the new national teacher is really like a fairy descending from the earth, and he injured the old lady again. General Xie Jiang may not be the charlatan His Majesty found..."

The queen mother sneered coldly: "A fool is a fool, do you believe this kind of fooling?"

"If there really are gods in this world, why didn't they just take a small step to teach Xie Jiang a lesson, but didn't send down Nine Heavens Lilei on the spot to kill that sycophant?"

"It's just this liar that His Majesty found. He is better at fooling people than the Taoist priest Xie Jiang found, and he fooled all the fools present."

As soon as the little maid was scolded by her, she immediately looked embarrassed and continued to hang her head, not daring to speak anymore.

Fifty-three years is too long for a mortal with a short lifespan. Those who are still alive, especially those who hold high positions of power like the queen mother and the general, can be regarded as young.

None of them had seen the ability of a monk with their own eyes, so they couldn't imagine such a powerful person in the world. They could only cling to their own little power and classify all people who exceeded their expectations as charlatans.

Low-ranking people and ordinary people like the little maid, they are still willing to believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, but now in front of the queen mother, the little maid dare not say anything.

After scolding her subordinates for a while, the queen mother finally calmed down, and a false smile appeared on Duanfang's glamorous face again, and she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "But even if the national teacher is fake, he It is also very good to injure the courtiers around His Majesty in public."

"Those sycophants held a bit of military power in their hands, and they threw away all their loyalty. It was like shaking the sky. Now that a clever liar has come and can teach him a lesson and give him a warning, Aijia is not to mention how happy he is. .”

She waved her hand to let the little maid come over: "Pass down the decree of mourning the family, and reward the national teacher with ten pieces of gold, beads and jade, and twenty pieces of silk."

The little maid realized instantly - the Queen Mother was trying to buy people's hearts, and wanted to dig the national teacher out of His Majesty's hands.

Obviously, even if the empress dowager thinks that the national teacher is a liar, he is also a clever liar with means, and it is worth her to win over the power of the general.

but……

The little maid didn't dare to say much, but hurriedly kowtowed, and then ran to deal with the matter, but there was still a faint sadness on her brows.

The way the queen mother treats charlatans is to use gold, silver and jade to win people's hearts, but if the master of the state is really... really a high-ranking person, what should I do if these condescending and vulgar rewards annoy the state teacher?

With these unspeakable worries in mind, the little maid didn't dare to stop, and left in a hurry.

……

Qiu Chenzhi stood on top of a tall pavilion, looking at the scenery in the distance rather speechlessly.

This is the capital of Qingyun Kingdom, this is the most prosperous place in Qingyun Kingdom, here...

The gap with the Shanhai City he had seen before was too big!

Shanhai City is a city jointly created by monks and human beings. It accommodates the advantages of both parties. It has both the noise and prosperity unique to ordinary people and the cleanliness and tidiness of monks.

But the current Qingyun Kingdom, although it is one of the four great kingdoms of mortals, the prosperity of the capital is less than one-tenth of that of Shanhai City.

Most of the streets in the capital are roads paved with loess, which will be full of mud whenever it rains. Only a few main streets are built with bluestone, and most of them are in a dilapidated state at this time. Will stumble.

Judging from the clothes and appearance, most of the people in the capital city are considered well-off, but there are still a lot of beggars sleeping on the streets, with ragged clothes and disheveled appearance, begging for food from passers-by all day long.

Most of the buildings in the city are old green brick dwellings, small and dilapidated. Except for a few magnificent restaurants and some exquisite rich and noble courtyards, the whole capital city is gray in color.

Looking around, the towering attic under his feet turned out to be the tallest building in the entire capital. Standing on it, one could have a panoramic view of all the scenery in the capital.

Qiu Chenzhi silently moved away from the window sill, feeling a bit reluctant to speak for a while.

He knew that there would be a gap in civilization between mortals and monks, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.

If it continues to develop like this, I'm afraid that the two parties will become more and more divergent in the future, as if they are two different species.

But in the final analysis, they belong to human beings. Mortals are like the roots of monks and the source of new blood for monks, just like monks are the source of new blood for immortals.

If the three deviate from each other in the future, I am afraid that the immortals and monks who have lost their source will gradually stagnate and be eliminated by other species in the end.

And without the protection of monks and immortals, mortals would be quickly eliminated by other species in this world of comprehension where there are many intelligent species.

For a while, Qiu Chenzhi was a little caught up in this rather philosophical question, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

After regaining consciousness, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and pointed his slender fingers on the center of his brow.

Since he absorbed that broken fragment, although he only recovered a little fragment of memory, it has become more and more easy to fall into various thoughts of worrying about the country and the people recently.

Just because he glanced at the cityscape of the capital, he started to worry about the future of the entire human development!

What was he doing before? The future of the entire human race has something to do with him?

He didn't even get his memory back, so he started to worry about whether he had something or not, Qiu Chenzhi rubbed his eyebrows, he didn't know what to say.

"National teacher! National teacher... Look, this is the Guanxing Pavilion where previous national teachers lived. Are you satisfied?"

Just when he was powerless to complain, Bai Ziyun, who had been following him like a little tail, spoke with sparkling eyes.

He graciously led Qiu Chenzhi around the attic, and kept his mouth open: "Zhaixing Pavilion was originally built by Qingyun Kingdom to welcome successive national teachers. It has not been inhabited for 53 years. , Ever since you came, the national teacher, I hastily ordered people to clean up this place..."

"and many more."

While the little emperor was chattering endlessly, Qiu Chenzhi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he raised his hand to stop his words.

Bai Ziyun shut up immediately, and looked at him expectantly: "National teacher?"

Qiu Chenzhi took two steps, reached out and took a thin invisible black silk thread from his shoulder.

Seeing this black thread, Bai Ziyun was really stunned.

"What is this thing, when did it land on my shoulder..." he said incoherently.

Qiu Chenzhi looked at the faint black air lingering on his fingertips, and the corner of his mouth slightly curled up: "No, maybe someone is coming after me."

Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest in white who had almost ascended to the position of national teacher before was underestimated by everyone. He was not an ordinary liar, but a real talent.

How dare you cast a curse?

"Curse... what curse?" Bai Ziyun opened his eyes wide after hearing his words, "Who?"

Qiu Chenzhi squeezed the black air and was about to speak when he suddenly heard a commotion from the attic.

He frowned slightly displeased.

Immediately, the little emperor Bai Ziyun was even more angry than him, and immediately ran downstairs "boom-boom-boom", summoned the attendants who had been dismissed by him, and said angrily: "Didn't I say before that no one is allowed to come here?" Are you disturbing the pure place of the national teacher?"

"Go and find out, who dares to come to Zhaixing Pavilion to make a scene?"

The attendant took the order to leave, but came back soon, with a strange expression on his face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the person who came is said to be someone close to the Empress Dowager..."

After hearing this, Bai Ziyun couldn't help frowning: "What is the Queen Mother sending someone to find the National Teacher at this time?"

Attendant: "...there are people sent by General Xie Jiang to make an apology."

Bai Ziyun: "???"

The attendant's face was horrible: "Both parties came with gifts, and they just met in front of the Star Picking Pavilion."

Bai Ziyun: "!!!"

The relationship between the general and the queen mother has always been in a tense relationship. At this moment, when the two parties meet together, you can imagine what will happen with your toes.

However, what worried the little emperor even more at this time was something else.

Sure enough, he knew that his national teacher was so good that he would definitely attract a bunch of people who wanted to poach him, but he didn't expect it to come so soon?

Although Bai Ziyun has always been very timid when facing the Queen Mother Party and the General Party, but at this moment when he thought of the national teacher behind him who might be poached away, he raised his breath and walked down the pavilion , to face the storm of the two parties.

No one can poach my national teacher away!
