Chapter 59
It is said that the time has come, but it is still far away.
The matter of Yaxian came to an end, the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony was completed safely, Zhang Taifu's disaster relief also spread the news of success, Yang Tinglong was overjoyed, and rewarded all the people in the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Yang You went to Yang Ting in private, saying that he didn't want a reward and wanted to exchange something with his father.
The alertness in Yang Ting's eyes was swept away, and he sat lazily on his seat and said, "Oh? What do you want?"
Yang You just took out a small square stone from his bosom, which looked like a seal, which he specially searched for from Zhuo Xinhong, and Yang You presented the stone to Yang Ting.
Yang Ting held it in his hands and played with it. The color of the seal stone was gorgeous, the texture was fine and pure, and the white background was dotted with pink. A little moved, he leaned forward and asked, "What does this mean?"
Yang You said with a smile: "I often play with Zhuo Jun, a colleague of Taichang Temple, so I asked him to give me a piece. This stone is called Shangrao Stone, which is produced in Jiangxi Prefecture. It is an excellent material for seal carving, but unfortunately it is extremely difficult to mine. There are very few in the world..."
Yang You seemed to hear Yang Ting heaving a sigh of relief, "So, you came to ask me for ore veins?"
"How can it be?" Yang You said one by one the arguments he had prepared, "Mountains, forests, and waters are all belongings of the state government, so what right do I have to ask Father for it?"
Yang Ting was coaxed by his words, "You are still sensible, just say what you want."
Yang You courteously said: "Jun Zhuo's sect is Jiangxi Jingming Taoism, I want them to help me collect some folk stones, but it is very difficult for Taoists to get famous outside..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Ting picked up his pen and wrote a note, "It's easy to handle. You take my note to the Ministry of Rites and let them do it for you. The number of names you want is just a matter of one sentence."
Yang You took the note respectfully, and it was considered a success.
Yang Ting suddenly frowned and asked, "Don't you usually play with living things, why are you suddenly interested in stones?"
Yang You patted his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the second emperor's brother's banquet last time, and everyone looks like a coquettish person, are you ashamed of yourself?"
Yang Ting snorted coldly, "You just learn from the superficial."
Yang You chuckled, turned around and stuffed the note into the Ministry of Rites, which was considered to have solved the biggest resistance to Jingming Dao activities.
At that time, it is only necessary to give Yang Ting a few seals of Shangrao Stone from time to time.
He counted with his fingers, and after a few days, Zhuo Xinhong's uncle Master Hong Guang arrived.
Daoist Hongguang wants to face the saint, so naturally he needs to have some real skills. Yang You remembered that there is still a magic stick living in his house, and he doesn't know what the two people's skills are, so he simply let the two meet for a while .
Daoist Hongguang didn't bring anything, only a dark blue Taoist robe, and the dust whisk in his hand was spotless.He is about forty years old, with a pale face, a tall figure, a gentle smile, and a refined temperament. In terms of facial features, he has long been lost to the passage of time. Neither the fine lines nor the spots on his face can be called perfect. Look old.
Yang You thought that his face was rare in the world, and he often looked at Ao Chen, and after getting used to the appearance of heaven and man, he thought that he would not be easily swayed by people's appearance.
Daoist Hongguang really surprised him.
Ao Chen's beauty is aloof and aloof that does not belong to the human world, while Yang You's beauty is from the unscrupulous youth, radiant and dazzling.
As for Master Hongguang, what fascinates him is the mixture of a worldly Confucianist and a worldly hermit, and the temperament of a wise man after struggling in the world and reading thousands of sails. People can't help but feel admiration and yearning .
This is something that Ao Chen will never have, and Yang You does not have now.
Daoist Hongguang walks peacefully, the dust under his feet is not moving, his eyes are radiant and introverted, and he salutes Yang You respectfully: "The poor Taoist has seen the prince!"
This ceremony actually made Yang You feel apprehensive and apprehensive, as if he was offended, he hurriedly said: "A real person doesn't need to be polite, Xiao Wang is a common man, he can't accept a big gift from a real person."
Hong Guang took a look at him, and saw Yang You standing where he was, apparently in his palace, and he seemed very rigid!He swept the whisk in his hands, and said with a hearty smile: "My lord, I don't have any other skills except a face that can bluff people. Don't follow me!"
His demeanor was the same as that of Zhuo Xinhong when he was joking in normal times, which made Yang You feel very familiar, and the two gradually became acquainted.
According to what Zhuo Xinhong said, Hong Guang was born in a famous family in Jiangxi Prefecture. More than twenty years.
Zhuo Xinhong had already roughly stated Yang You's thoughts, and Hong Guang also knew that he had a mission. Since he was favored by others, he wanted to repay it. Jingming Dao will get an emperor who supports the spread of religion.He has practiced Taoism for many years, but he has always failed to make progress. His senior brother said that he has too much heart, so he sent him to help Zhuo Xinhong.
Hong Guang knew that he would definitely be involved in Bo Yun's treacherous struggle this time when he went to Beijing, so he was not afraid, so he asked straight-forward, "I wonder what the lord's plan is for the poor?"
Yang You froze for a moment, looking at Lu Shanjian who had been standing beside him silently.
Lu Shanjian's bald head still hasn't grown well, he looks like a monk at a glance, Hong Guang also follows Yang You's gaze, and he probably guesses after just one glance that Yang You specially wanted to test him ability.
He didn't refuse, and bowed to Lu Shanjian, and reported himself as his master, "Poverty Dao Hongguang, under the tutelage of Master Miaolian, only roughly learned some strange numerology. I don't know the eminent monk..."
Lu Shanjian returned the gift with a smile: "The villain's name is Daoyu, and he is a disciple of Abbot Faji of Thanksgiving Temple. His master came from the Taoist line of Huangshi, and he also learned some numerology. I wonder if I can ask the Taoist priest for advice?"
Hongguang was surprised when he heard Abbot Faji, and shook his head with a wry smile when he heard Huangshi's name, "The Huangshi lineage is the pinnacle of sorcerers in the world. Since the prince already has an eminent monk, it's better not to bring out the meager skills of the poor." It's embarrassing."
He suggested to Yang You, "Why doesn't your lord recommend an eminent monk to His Majesty?"
At first Yang You didn't want to let the monk out because what he said would bring trouble on him, but now seeing Hong Guang, he understood why he never thought of letting Lu Shanjian deceive Yang Ting at all.
Because Lu Shanjian has no face...
Yang You had to admire the vision of Zhuo Xinhong's recommender. With the appearance of Daoist Hongguang, others could believe him when he stood there. If he didn't speak, he would really think that this is a person who is about to become a fairy.
But he couldn't say it clearly, he could only chuckle: "Your Majesty loves looks very much..."
Hongguang: ...
Lu Shanjian: ...
He seems to understand why he has been locked up in the mansion by Yang You.
Yang Youdao: "The Taoist priest will stay in the mansion first, and I will arrange for the Taoist priest to enter the palace when the time is right."
Hong Guang replied: "Thank you so much, my lord. I have an unfeeling request from Pindao. I hope I can live closer to Master Daoyu. I can bother Master Daoyu more and ask for some yin and yang spells."
This is not a big problem, Yang You agreed with a smile.
Yang You asked Hongguang for some information. Hongguang's master, Master Miaolian, practiced medicine all the year round to save people.Hong Guang not only learned the art of mathematics, but also learned a whole body of medical skills. Not only that, he also did not lag behind Jing Ming Dao's martial arts.
After a few days, the emperor felt that the autumn and winter seasons were hot and dry, and his body was unwell, so Yang You took the opportunity to dress up Hongguang and send him to the palace to work as a doctor for the emperor.He prepared a number of feather clothes and star crowns for Hong Guang, and countless white dust whisks and feather fans. Hong Guang was also smart. At the beginning, he only treated the emperor's body and did not talk about teachings. He only taught Yang Ting some Taoist recuperation methods from time to time.
Seeing that he had no other intentions, Yang Ting used him with confidence.
Hong Guang not only helped the emperor to heal his illness, but he also took the opportunity to visit various princes and important ministers. I don't know how cleverly he spoke. In the end, although he was recommended by Yang You, no one suspected that Yang You had ulterior motives. People in Hongguang trust him very much and think that he is an expert who is beyond the world.
Therefore, in the atmosphere of prohibition of religion in the world, a group of Taoist priests were strangely active. They rushed to the disaster area to treat diseases and distribute food.
In the heavily guarded palace, there also appeared a magical Taoist priest in feather clothes. Apart from helping the emperor to recuperate his body, he sat in meditation all day long.The Taiyun Pavilion, where the fourth prince lived temporarily in the capital, was built by Yang Ting's father in order to seek immortality. Now that Yang Shi has his own mansion, Taiyun Pavilion is vacant, and Yang Ting places Hongguang in Taiyun. Court.
As for the Shangrao stone matter, Yang Youquan left it to Zhuo Xinhong.Zhuo Xinhong dared not speak out.
The matter of Jingming Dao in this side was completely resolved, and Cui Jue in that side was entangled with him again.
Cui Jue didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken, so he wanted to be his assistant.
From time to time, they would send people to give some news from inside the Cui family, and they would keep posting messages wanting to join Yang You and their cricket gathering.
Yang You has a big head, the Cui family is not an ordinary family, the nobles of the fourth generation and the third father are not a joke, Cui Jue is still a legitimate son, in charge of the imperial army, and he is not a dude on weekdays. If Cui Jue got involved, all his years of pretense would be in vain.
However, he couldn't stand Cui Jue's fierce pursuit. Even Shang Luo reminded him to solve Cui Jue's problem as soon as possible.
Yang You had no choice but to ask Cui Jue to have a meal alone. After drinking for three rounds, seeing that Cui Jue's eyes were hazy, and it was just when the wine was getting dizzy, Yang You took the opportunity to ask, "Why does General Cui bother Yang so much?" You, Yang You is just an idler with no ambitions, why bother to be persistent?"
Cui Jue looked at him with drunken eyes, and showed his white teeth with a smile, "You are not idle, you..."
He said inarticulately: "You are...a liar...a big liar...you pretended to fool everyone, but you couldn't fool me...I know you...you...hiccup..."
Yang You's back felt cold, and he immediately covered his mouth, checked around the room, and sat down beside Cui Jue after making sure that no one was eavesdropping.
