Prison Dragon

Chapter 124

The next morning, Yang Ting did not go to the early court and asked Zhong Shuling to preside over the court affairs.

Whether he goes to court doesn't have much impact on the country, and the ministers don't expect him to solve the problem, and Yang You doesn't take it seriously. He has long felt that according to Yang Ting's usual habits, he can bear it until today. Chao is good enough.

As usual, he went back to chat with Ao Chen, and told everything he saw in the ice room.

Ao Chen felt very bored, "I thought there were so many interesting things about your royal family, but it turned out to be so boring."

They're all commonplace prayers.

Yang You let out a long hiss. He remembered that Ao Chen had been in the palace for a very long time, so he asked: "Do you know Emperor Wu and his male favorite? It's the painting without portraits. Do you know their story?"

Ao Chen smiled and shook his head.

Yang You said, "How long have you been asleep?"

Ao Chen said: "Life is just a big dream, so what does it matter who wakes up first?"

Yang You smiled and said nothing.

Yang Ting didn't come to court for several days, Yang You realized something was wrong, he couldn't help but look at Yang Ren who was standing beside him, Yang Ren's expression was calm and he couldn't see anything.

After coming down to court, all the ministers surrounded Yang Xiu and asked non-stop. He was in charge of investigating affairs and had the closest relationship with the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu kept silent, his mouth was tighter than anyone else, and he just whispered to Yang You, "You recently sent some green paper to His Majesty."

The Taoist priests of the Qi State all used blue paper to draw symbols. What Yang Xiu said meant that the emperor practiced Taoism in the palace?

Yang You hurriedly sent Lu Shanjian to prepare the blue paper and brought it into the palace.

The Taoist temple built for Master Hongguang is still in full swing, and the emperor is practicing with Master Hongguang at Wangxiantai.

It happened when Yang You went, they had just finished exercising for a week, and the emperor was watching Hongguang making alchemy.

Lu Shanjian had taught him a little Taoism before. The Hongguang school believed that the heaven and earth are like a cauldron, and all things are born from the mixing of yin and yang, and human beings are the spirit of heaven and earth.

If a person wants to achieve the unity of nature and man, he must practice alchemy from both inside and outside, which are inner alchemy and outer alchemy.

Inner alchemy regards the human body as an alchemy furnace, reconciles yin and yang through the movement of qi and movement, and opens up meridians; outer alchemy uses a furnace to refine medicine.

Yang You saw all kinds of gold stone medicines on the small table beside him, sulfur, saltpeter, cinnabar... and many other things he didn't know.

Can the food refined in this way really be eaten?

Yang You had deep doubts, but he dared not speak out in front of the excited emperor.

The emperor asked: "Why did King Jing come to me for something? Could it be that there was a problem with the court this morning?"

Yang You replied respectfully: "The world is safe and peaceful, what's the big deal? My son just heard that the father is practicing internal and external alchemy, so he brought it to present the best green paper. I hope that the father will refine the energy and become immortal soon." .”

The emperor didn't look at the blue paper he presented, and said happily: "You child has a heart."

Yang You smiled shyly.

Hongguang ground sulfur and saltpeter into powder and put them into the furnace, and lit the fire with saponins, and the fierce fire suddenly lit up.

Yang You was so frightened that he took half a step back.

Hong Guang said with a smile: "This is the method of subduing fire, which can eliminate the poison of gold and stone."

After the fire was extinguished, Hongguang stir-fried it with raw and cooked charcoal orchids, which was regarded as a blind medicine.

Yang You reluctantly nodded and smiled.

Hong Guang reminded, "Your Majesty, it's time to offer incense and concentrate."

The emperor nodded and walked into the inner room with three pillars of fragrance. Hong Guang pulled Yang You out of the room and closed the door.

Yang You said in a low voice: "Master Taoist, I have something to say to you."

Hong Guang followed him to a quiet place, and Yang You said straight to the point: "Master, does Emperor Father really want to take that elixir?"

Hong Guang smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have sent people who have practiced Waidan for many years, and there are even people who have cultivated alchemy and become immortal..."

"Your elixir will affect father's body?" Yang You knew from Ao Chen that there is no way for a mortal to become a fairy in the world. He half believed what Hong Guang said.

Hong Guang looked at him with a smile, his eyes pointed.

Yang You quickly understood his hint, and his face sank, "Master, I think you have misunderstood, I don't need to use this method to achieve my goal. Yang You still can't do such a thing of murdering Tianlun .”

Hong Guang straightened the whisk between his elbows, "I didn't do this kind of thing for His Highness, I just did what I wanted to do."

Yang You sneered, lowered his voice and said, "You are killing the king!"

Hong Guang said calmly: "The king treats his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard him like a bandit. Has Your Majesty ever put the world in his eyes? I want to eliminate evils for the world and restore the world's clarity."

"You bastard!" Yang You frowned angrily, and there was indescribable anger in his lowered voice, "No matter what your majesty is, he is also a king. You are just a commoner with a foreign surname. How dare you do something like killing the king? Eliminate fraud in the world?"

"His Royal Highness King Jing!" Hong Guang argued, "Is it true that the world should belong to the royal family? All the people in the world, and the officials in the court, which one of them has paid more for the world than the royal family? Those who should be eliminated."

"According to what you say, if I were a faint king, you would kill me too?" Yang You said angrily.

Hong Guang nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Your Highness is kind to me, if one day I lose to Wan Min, I will."

Yang You looked at him in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"

Hongguang shook his head, and said some deafening words, "The world is not the world of the Yang family, but the world of the people of the world; the history of the country is not the family tree of the Yang family, but the stories of the people of the world."

Yang You was speechless.

Hongguang continued, "Changing the surname to the name means the subjugation of the country, tyrannical government cannibalism, benevolence and righteousness, the people are like grass and beasts, and it is the world that perishes. Those who protect the country are sought by the king and his ministers. And there is no responsibility."

"You..." Yang You was held in place by his words, "Why do you think like this? Holy kings, sages..."

The people are rough, so the emperor obeys the order of heaven to educate and educate the people, so that the people can live in peace, and chooses talents to replace the emperor's herdsmen.He has only heard of saints governing the country, but he doesn't know that every man should also shoulder the responsibility of the world.

To Yang You, Hong Guang's idea was really unimaginable and unheard of.

If everyone thought like Hong Guang, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

However, Yang You couldn't think of a way to refute Hong Guang's words.

Hong Guang obviously didn't want to argue with him again, "Even if you don't do anything, Your Highness, do you know how your majesty's health is? No one in the Tai Hospital dares to say it, but I dare say that your majesty is strong in the outside world, enjoys pleasure in wine and sex, and has already lost his energy." It's exhausted, just another illness..."

He paused, "Lidu is cold in winter, and His Majesty may not be able to survive the winter. Everything must be prepared before His Majesty falls ill."

Yang You asked: "Father's body is exhausted, master dare to say that he has nothing to do with it?"

Hong Guang said with a smile: "It is His Majesty who wants to practice spells, and it is His Majesty who wants to refine the outer elixir, and His Majesty eats the medicine himself. Who would dare to disobey the order of the emperor? I just didn't persuade him. My lord, I advise you , even if you tell His Majesty now that I want to harm him, will he believe me or you?"

Yang You was stunned. According to the emperor's character, it was most likely Xin Hongguang. After all, in his opinion, Hongguang had nothing for him.

Indeed, Hiromitsu just wanted his life after all.

Hong Guang said: "Your Highness, just pretend that you don't know anything."

Yang You suddenly recalled, "The last time you told Lu Shanjian that the stars would come out on the ninth day of September, did you also calculate that something might happen to your father's body later?"

Hiroshi nodded.

Yang You stood there silently thinking for a long time, and finally said: "In short, don't feed your father those strange things again. I don't know, of course I don't know, but if I know, you can't do it again. And , you find an opportunity to talk to father, so that he will not be obsessed with clouds and rain."

Hiroshi nodded.

They waited for the emperor's incense ceremony to finish, and went into the house together. Yang You handed the letter written by Wu Yizhi to the emperor. He read it in advance, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Hongguang also took the opportunity to remind the emperor that performing Zhou Gong's rituals would damage his energy, and practitioners in the world should restrain their desires and let him stop thinking about other things.

The emperor seemed to agree sincerely.

Yang You didn't know if Hong Guang's words would work, he just hoped to delay for a while.

Before leaving, the emperor asked Yang You to buy him training materials.

Yang You wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded his head in agreement.

The emperor seemed to be happier, he finally got a powerful person to support him in cultivating immortals.

Yang You came back disappointed, thinking about the words Hong Guang had said to him, and on the way back home, he raised the curtain of the car.

But outside the car is a bustling street scene, with hundreds of workers in Guizhou, each with their own life, running around in the world, unremarkable.

"My lord, do you want to buy flowers?" A little girl rushed to his carriage and ran after him, holding a bouquet of sweet-scented osmanthus in her hand.

Yang You asked the driver to stop, and asked softly, "How much? I'll sell it to you."

"Four big coins! You look so good-looking."

Yang You didn't have any copper coins, so he asked the coachman to give her five coins, and took the sweet-scented osmanthus from her hand.

Yang You saw her bouncing around to find her family. Her father carried the burden to buy some groceries, and the father and daughter happily hugged each other for a few copper coins.

He saw the father touching the girl's head appreciatively.

Although inconspicuous, he lives extremely seriously.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor held a palace banquet and praised Yang You for serving him and cultivating immortals in front of everyone.

Yang You stared at Yang Ren's expression, Yang Ren smiled like a spring breeze, and those who didn't know thought he was the one being praised.

Yang You knew in his heart that the prettier Yang Ren's smile was, the darker his attacks would be. This time he took advantage of Yang Xiu and Hong Guang, but next time he would be wrong.

The palace banquet was naturally peaceful, Yang You was drunk a lot by the ministers, and when he returned to the palace, he was already drunk and unconscious.

Yang Yuchun came over to help Ruifang serve the people, undressed and wiped his body for him.

Ruifang was afraid that Yang You would vomit in the middle of the night, so she went out to find a water basin for him.

Yang Yuchun sat by the bed, carefully arranged Yang You's loose hair, and raised his hand to touch his face.Suddenly, he looked around sensitively.

It's this feeling again!It seems that someone is staring at him, but there is no one else here except Yang You.

He is a person with very sensitive intuition, so many times he has relied on his intuition to survive the dangers. He can feel that someone is watching him, which is the kind of straightforward and undisguised observation.

Who is it?

He always noticed this gaze around Yang You. Could it be that someone was watching Yang You?

Could it be an assassin?Since he is an assassin, why hasn't he done anything?

He couldn't figure it out, so he shook Yang You's hand for peace of mind.

Yang You woke up once in a dream, and squinted his eyes to see Yang Yuchun sitting on the edge of the bed watching over him, Ao Chen was sitting on the bed with his shoes on, looking straight at Yang Yuchun, as if he wanted to cut him open for careful study generally.

What a strange dream.

Thinking about it, Yang You turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
