Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 422 Taizong presents fine wine, a pot for 100 years
Facing Li Shimin's expectant eyes, Li Daoxuan was moved.

To be honest, he thought that Li Shimin would win him over, but he didn't expect it to be such a big deal. The leader of Hidden Dragon is in charge of the world's ghosts and gods. He has such great power that everyone from the emperor's relatives to the local county magistrate must cooperate unconditionally.

The most important thing is to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to help him practice, this promise, any monk will be tempted.

Although cultivating the Tao seeks freedom and detachment, it also pays attention to the law, wealth and land. The wealth in it refers to the resources needed for practice. As the saying goes, being poor and rich in martial arts is even more so in cultivating Taoism, which is even more expensive than practicing martial arts. .

For example, the bigu pill needed for practice contains many precious medicinal materials, which are more expensive than gold. Back then, Li Daoxuan took over the work of the Huang family master and met the mirror ghost because of lack of money.

Later, when he was no longer short of money, he discovered that many natural and earthly treasures were priceless. For example, medicinal materials that were more than a hundred years old rarely circulated in the market, and were often offered only for special purposes.

This is also the reason why Li Daoxuan obviously has many demon inner elixirs, but he is unable to refine the dragon and tiger golden elixirs. He really cannot gather so many precious auxiliary medicines.

But these problems will disappear with Li Shimin's words.

As long as he agrees, from now on, there will be inexhaustible treasures from heaven and earth, and he can refine spirit pills as much as he wants to increase his cultivation, help him break through, and step into the Yangshen realm in the shortest possible time.

This is definitely a huge temptation!

But Li Daoxuan did not speak for a long time.

Li Shimin looked forward, and said: "Tai Chong, I know your ambition is to become an immortal, but this does not conflict with my great cause, and even coincides with it. The stronger the Tang Dynasty in the future, the more people who can help you many!"

"Being the leader doesn't mean you have to run around all the time. There are bad people guarding each state. If they can't deal with it, they will report it to Zhelong. There will not be any restrictions, as long as you don't leave the territory of Datang frequently."

Li Daoxuan sighed softly, the emperor is already sincere enough, if such kindness is spread, no one would dare to believe it.

In fact, this is also Li Shimin's big gamble. If Li Daoxuan has the intention of rebellion, he will fall into a very unfavorable situation, which is equivalent to creating a terrible opponent for himself.

But Li Shimin still made this decision, and resolutely put all his treasures on Li Daoxuan, which shows his courage.

"Tai Chong, are you worried about Longhu Mountain?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although the ancestor didn't say it clearly, but he sent me to participate in the Longmen Fairy Association, and his intention is very obvious. Longhushan is willing to support your majesty."

The old master had rejected Li Shimin's invitation to come out many times, because he experienced the Sui Dynasty's prosperity and decline, and witnessed the sudden collapse of a peak dynasty, so he became more cautious and waited and watched.

Facts have proved that this wait-and-see is correct.

During the change of Xuanwu Sect, some Taoist sects stood in the line of Prince Li Jiancheng. As a result, soon after Li Shimin ascended the throne, those sects that had supported Li Jiancheng quietly disappeared.

After the change of Xuanwumen, the old heavenly master has been quietly observing the young emperor, and finally made a decision to send Li Daoxuan to participate in the Longmen fairy meeting.

This is a very important signal.

As the emperor, Li Shimin had already seen this, he was puzzled and said: "In this case, Taichong, why do you hesitate?"

Li Daoxuan stared at this long scroll, as if seeing the magnificent rivers and mountains, he suddenly asked a question.

"Your Majesty, this Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation sounds very beautiful, but spreading the dragon energy in the world will weaken the dragon energy in Chang'an. This is where the emperor lives. If there is no dragon energy guarding it, wouldn't it be dangerous? "

Empress Tsing Yi silently raised her eyes and stared at Li Shimin.

This question was actually what she wanted to ask, but she just said it through Li Daoxuan's mouth.

Li Shimin was startled, he thought Tai Chong had some concerns, but he didn't think it was because of this.

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Actually, I have thought about this question a long time ago. At that time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were also hesitant about it. Later, the Queen woke me up and she said a word."

"What?"

"If you can't protect Datang, what's the use of Chang'an?"

Li Shimin sighed: "The queen is a woman with such a heart. As the emperor, how can I worry about gains and losses?"

Li Daoxuan secretly lamented that he deserved to be a famous generation of virtuous empresses in history. Empress Changsun is not only kind, but also has a magnanimity and a mind that ordinary women cannot match, which is admirable.

In history, when Li Shimin wanted to make mistakes many times, it was Empress Changsun who insisted on admonishing her. Her methods of admonition were often ingenious and full of wisdom, and were praised by historians many times.

Therefore, some people say that if Empress Changsun hadn't died so early, maybe Li Shimin wouldn't have become fatuous and advocating pleasure at the end of Zhenguan period.

Li Shimin patted Li Daoxuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Taichong don't have to worry about me. As you said before, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies. If Chang'an can become a barrier to protect the people of the world, it is worthy of the name of the capital of God. !"

Li Daoxuan exhaled lightly, and a surge of pride arose in his heart.

That being the case, let's create an unprecedented Tang Dynasty together!

When he ascends into the sky and cultivates to become an immortal in the future, what he hopes to leave to this world is an incomparably glorious and prosperous age, a splendid dynasty that will never be forgotten by the future Chinese nation!
Maybe the Tang Dynasty will be in decline in the future, maybe there will still be the Anshi Rebellion, the Huangchao Change, maybe hundreds of years later, today's efforts will still become a cloud of dynastic change, but Li Daoxuan doesn't want to think so much at the moment.

However, he did not immediately agree, but instead asked a completely irrelevant question.

"Your Majesty, I am poor and good at wine. I heard that there is a superb wine in the Imperial Palace. I wonder if Your Majesty can part with it?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Tai Chong said this sentence suddenly.

But he immediately ordered Gao Quan to fetch it, and after a while, Gao Quan came to the hall with a jug of fine wine.

Li Shimin handed the altar of wine to Li Daoxuan, saying: "This wine is the best in the world. It is said that it was brewed by Du Kang himself, the god of wine. It is rare in the world. After drinking a cup, it will make your bones numb and soft, and you will feel as if you are in heaven!"

Such a jar of wine is worth a thousand gold.

But Li Daoxuan shook his head and said: "It's too little, not enough for poor people to drink. I wonder if Your Majesty can give a few more altars?"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to signal Gao Quan to continue to get it.

In fact, he is also a good wine man. There are only five altars of this kind of excellent wine in the entire palace. Although he is usually an emperor, he only drinks a few glasses during grand festivals. He is afraid that it will be gone after drinking. .

Gao Quan brought two more altars.

Li Daoxuan continued to look at Li Shimin and asked, "Your Majesty, are there any more?"

Li Shimin coughed and said: "It's too strong, there is not much left of this wine, can you save some for me?"

Li Daoxuan nodded and smiled, "Of course."

After a pause, he swept over the three altars of fine wine with a flick of his sleeve, put them all into the gourd, and said with a smile: "In the past, King Wen invited Jiang Shang to pull a cart for 800 steps, and Ziya would ensure the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty for 300 years. Today, Your Majesty Donate three altars of wine, I am poor and have no talents, I wish to protect the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty for [-] years, so as to repay the emperor's kindness."
