The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Others don't know the situation of King Rong, but as the emperor, he knows it all.

Since the last time when King Rong was besieged and suppressed Pudu Cihang, he forcibly used the secret method to temporarily heal himself, and his injuries have been compounded. Now he can't even walk except for talking.

To say that under his command, the only one who can really come in handy now is the old eunuch beside him.

However, this old eunuch cannot be separated from him as his bodyguard for a moment.

Therefore, Yang Heng is the only one who can sit in the capital and shake the world.

But for a great practitioner like Yang Heng, although he is an emperor, he can't be too reluctant.

The old eunuch beside the emperor saw that the emperor was in a dilemma, so he leaned into the emperor's ear and offered advice quietly.

"Long live, I have two precious orbs here, and these two orbs can be connected even across thousands of mountains and rivers. As long as one of the orbs is given to Daoist Yang, when we have something to do in the capital, we can call Daoist Yang to come here at any time." .”

Emperor Shunde's brows stretched when he heard this, which is really the truth.

Daoist Yang has already been promoted to Earth Immortal. If something happens in the capital, he can use the orb to summon him. From Xiangfu County to the capital, it will take only an hour and a half, so there shouldn't be any delay.

"Well, since Daoist Yang is determined to return to his hometown, then I will not force him, but I still hope that Daoist Yang will contribute more to the court for the sake of the people of the world."

"Thank you for your grace, Xiaodao must not dare to forget his family, country, and world."

The civil and military officials below were also relieved to see Yang Heng voluntarily leaving the capital.

Therefore, they didn't have much hostility towards Yang Heng. After all, isn't a national teacher who is not greedy for power exactly what they want.

Emperor Shunde waved helplessly, and then announced his retreat.

Yang Heng left the Jinluan Hall with all the civil and military officials, but just as he walked to the Wuchao Gate, he found that the old eunuch beside the emperor was waiting for him there.

For this old eunuch who fought side by side with him, Yang Heng still has a minimum of respect, so he stepped forward and took a few steps to salute first.

"Xiaodao met the old man."

The old eunuch quickly stretched out his hands to help.

"Why does Daoist Yang need to be so polite, it really frustrates this old slave."

After the two of them saluted, Yang Heng hurriedly asked: "The old man is at the gate of Wuchao, did he come here specially to wait for Xiaodao?"

"It really caught Daoist Yang's expectations."

When he said this, the old eunuch took out a jewel from his bosom and handed it to Yang Heng.

This orb is radiant, with a little bit of golden light in it, which is constantly scattered, and it can be seen that it is priceless.

For such a valuable thing, Yang Heng dare not accept it.

"Old man, what does this mean?"

"Don't misunderstand Daoist Yang. These orbs are a pair. Each of them takes one of the orbs. No matter how far they are, they can communicate immediately. The emperor is also afraid that something will happen in the court, so he gave this orb to Daoist Yang. When something happens in the court, Daoist Yang can come back in time to help."

It turned out that this was the case, so Yang Heng put his heart in his stomach, then took the orb and looked at it carefully.

Looking left and right, Yang Heng didn't find anything strange about this orb.

The old eunuch smiled slightly, then took out another orb from the sleeve barrel, and flicked it in front of Yang Heng.

Following the crisp sound, the bead in Yang Heng's hand also made the same sound.

At this point, Yang Heng believed that the beads in his hands were indeed a pair of treasures.

When the old eunuch received Yang Heng's receipt of the beads, he cupped his hands and turned to leave.

And Yang Heng also hurried out of the Wuchao gate to go home to pack up his things and go back to Xiangfu County.

To say that this is indeed a prosperous place with everything that one expects to find, but Yang Heng always feels that this prosperous place is not his long-term residence.

He still misses his neighbors near the Taoist temple in the small county.

Besides, the old eunuch returned to the emperor's bedroom, but before he could enter the door, he saw a young eunuch scrambling and running out.

The little eunuch saw the old eunuch as soon as he went out, as if seeing a savior, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, knelt forward and crawled a few steps, hugged the old eunuch's leg and didn't let go.

"Old ancestor, you are back. The emperor is waiting inside. If we don't see you again, the little ones will lose their legs."

The old eunuch gently kicked the little eunuch who was holding his leg.

"It's such a panic over a little thing. I usually teach you how to raise qi, and I have learned it from the dog's belly."

The little eunuch quickly let go of the old eunuch's legs, stood up, then stood there with his head down, silent.

The old eunuch sighed and shook his head. Now it’s really not as good as the next generation. Originally, he wanted to find someone with good qualifications to pass on his skills, which can be regarded as a backup for the royal family. In the end, he found dozens of people. None of the years fit.

Chapter 414 War

When the old eunuch entered the hall, he saw the Emperor Shunde circling irritably, and the young eunuchs standing around all lowered their heads, afraid of being seen by the Emperor Shunde.

When the emperor saw the old eunuch coming, his eyes were delighted, and he quickly reached out his hand to beckon.

"Come over here quickly, companion, take a look at this memorial."

While speaking, Emperor Shunde casually pointed at the ground, and a young eunuch next to him quickly knelt and crawled forward a few steps, picked up the memorial, and dragged it into the air.

The old eunuch took a few steps forward, took the memorial from the young eunuch and opened it, looked carefully, and then frowned.

It turned out that the memorial was sent by Governor Li, and the content was: The White Lotus Sect was besieged to defend Jinan City, but it was very well prepared. The officers and soldiers were besieged for such a long time, but they could not take Jinan. Now the officers and soldiers are a bit short of food and grass, so I want to ask the court to Order a temporary withdrawal of troops, wait until there is enough food and grass, and then destroy it.

When the Emperor Shunde saw that the old eunuch had finished reading, he immediately said, "Look, the imperial court has spent so much effort to suppress the momentum of the White Lotus Sect. Now that it's the last step, he actually wants to retreat."

The emperor of Shunde did not continue with the next words, because this Dugong Li was the confidant of his trusted eunuch in front of him, and he was considered his own, so he saved some face for him.

The old eunuch also sighed, just now he said that he has no successors, and now it is true, this little Li is his most promising child, and the result is also anticlimactic.

"Companion, what do you say?"

"If you go back to the emperor, we must absolutely not withdraw our troops now, otherwise, the White Lotus Sect will revive immediately, and it will be even more difficult to cure at that time."

"A companion's words are deeply in my heart."

Emperor Shunde said this, and then asked: "But now that the imperial court has gone through the Pudu Cihang Rebellion, it has no money to support the front line. What do you think should be done?"

The old eunuch thought for a while, and finally said helplessly: "It's better to let the old slave go to Jinan to help the officers and soldiers take down the White Lotus Sect in the shortest time."

After Emperor Shunde heard this, his eyes lit up first, but then dimmed immediately.

"Banban, if you leave the capital, who is in charge here?"

The boss and eunuch thought about it for the same reason, but after thinking about it, none of the people under his command could surpass Dugong Li.

Now even Dugong Li can't take Jinan City, so who can they send?

But the old eunuch has a solution as soon as he turns his eyes. Since his own people are not good enough, then he will find foreign aid.

"Long live, isn't Daoist Yang, the national teacher, going back to his hometown? Why don't you let him go to Jinan City on the way?"

Emperor Shunde's eyes lit up, this is really a good way to get the best of both worlds.

The old eunuch was able to stay by his side and help him suppress the capital, and Yang Heng went to Jinan to smoothly resolve the matter of the White Lotus Sect.

"Companion, this method is good, let's do it like this."

Emperor Shunde said a word, and then hurriedly added.

"Daoist Yang should be leaving soon, we can't delay, you immediately go to Dengtian Temple to pass the decree, let Yang Daoist go to Jinan City to supervise the battle between the two armies, and we must take Jinan City and destroy the White Lotus Sect within a month."

"Old slave obeys the order."

Besides, now Yang Heng has returned to his Dengtian Temple in the capital.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of yamen servants talking to Erya respectfully.

"Little Fairy, we have already found almost all the things lost in your Taoist temple. Let's see if this is the case."

"Forget what? Look at what you found. They are all miscellaneous daily necessities. Do you know how much these things are worth? I lost nearly 100 taels of silver, not counting my senior brother. , if you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice’s office and sue you.”

Following Erya's words, several Yang Heng's apprentices beside him also began to help him.

"My father is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. Why don't you go to my father directly to save trouble with them."

"My father is an imperial envoy. If he can't do it, let him take a copy of Tianfu. I don't believe it. We lost so many things and no one cares about it."

"You guys are too slow, why don't you just let the elder brother go to the emperor directly, he is the grandson of the emperor, he can see the emperor at any time, if the emperor makes a decree, I don't believe that he can't get back the things."

The three or four yamen servants standing in front of Erya were already sweating when they heard the chatter of these young grandpas. They had already inquired before they came, and there was no one in this Taoist temple to be trifled with.

If these little ancestors are allowed to make trouble, let alone them, even the governor of Shuntian Prefecture will not be able to afford it.

The leading yamen servant hurriedly lowered his head, and said cautiously: "Xiao Xiangu, don't worry, I will definitely find the things for you within three days. But please hold your hand high and don't make matters worse."

Er Ya raised her head high, then glanced at the other party out of the corner of her eye, and then said: "Not for three days, I will see Yin Zi tomorrow."

The yamen servant gritted his teeth when he heard this, and finally said: "You don't need tomorrow, I will send the money back to Little Fairy tonight."

Erya looked at the yamen servant in surprise, could it be that the other party is really so efficient?

But then again, it doesn't matter where he finds the silver, as long as he doesn't lose it.

"Okay, I'll listen to what you say. If I don't see the money at night, I'll never end with you."

Erya just finished saying this, when she saw Yang Heng approaching from a distance, she hurriedly left the yamen servant aside, and jumped in front of Yang Heng in two or three steps.

"Senior brother, you are back."

Erya then saw the imperial decree held in Yang Heng's hand, and reached out curiously to get it.

As a result, Yang Heng raised his hand and knocked her outstretched hand away.

"This is the imperial decree of the emperor, don't touch it."

The big apprentice Shouming who was following Yang Heng hurriedly came to Er Ya at this time, and said flatteringly: "Master, the emperor has appointed my master as the master of the country, and what the master holds in his hand is the imperial decree."

Erya and the other apprentices were overjoyed when they heard this, because if Yang Heng climbed up steadily, their status would also rise significantly.

And the few yamen servants who were standing in the distance, poking their heads here, turned pale when they heard these words.

If it was in the past, they might just be afraid of the backgrounds of Yang Heng's apprentices, but now it's different, Yang Heng himself is the national teacher, is that someone they can offend?

Think about how arrogant and domineering the former national teacher Pudu Cihang was some time ago. The Daoist Yang of this Taoist temple is also a first-class figure in Pudu Cihang. If they are small people who can afford to offend, they are probably their immediate bosses. The governor of Shuntian government office is also low-key and small.

When thinking of this, these yamen servants already hated the people who stole things from the Taoist temple.

Naturally, Yang Heng would not deal with these small yamen servants, he just took a look at them, and then went straight into the main hall, leaving the rest of the matter to Erya.

After Yang Heng left, Er Ya became arrogant again. She walked up to a yamen servant, stretched her neck, stared and said, "Uh huh, you heard it too, my brother is now a national teacher. You handle things carefully, and solve the matter for me as soon as possible, otherwise you will have no good fruit to eat."

After finishing speaking, Er Ya ignored them, turned around and entered the hall.

These yamen servants looked at Er Ya's back helplessly, and seeing that she didn't look back, they turned their attention to the disciples of Yang Heng.

But these people also lost a lot because of the theft of the Taoist temple, and that one would speak for them, so they squinted one by one, bypassed a few yamen servants and followed into the main hall.

In the end, these yamen servants had no choice but to leave the Taoist temple dejectedly.

After leaving the Taoist temple, a small yamen servant said to the head yamen servant: "Brother Wang, do you really have a way to get them back before night?"

"What can I do? I just want to fool that little girl first. I didn't expect the owner of this Taoist temple to be appointed as a national teacher by the emperor. Then we really have to be careful."

While talking, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to several other people: "Go and find all the snakes around here. They should be the most aware of the things lost in this Taoist temple. Let them take care of them." Someone will find it for us to compensate for the loss, or else the money will be paid by them, anyway, we have to get things done before night."

"Boss, isn't the time too tight? They just have some eyeliners. I'm afraid the person who stole something would have already run away if he knew the seriousness of the matter. It won't take a day and a half to catch him back. Can you allow a period of time?"

The yamen servant surnamed Wang turned his head and looked up and down the yamen servant who said good things.

"Little Qian, don't be confused, this matter is not something you can stand, don't put your life on the line just for a few money."

After saying this, the yamen servant surnamed Wang ignored him, turned around and walked directly to the street.

The person surnamed Qian was also a little annoyed, but after all, his arms couldn't move his thighs, and he still had to obey the orders of the servant Wang, so he could only leave with his head downcast in the end.

Besides, Yang Heng came to the Sanqing Hall and sat beside the altar in the hall. Several of his disciples stood on both sides, and Erya stood beside Yang Heng.

Seeing that everyone was here, Yang Heng coughed, and then said: "You have heard just now that the emperor appointed me as a national teacher, but I don't plan to stay in the capital for a long time, and I plan to go back to Xiangfu County. If any of you I don’t want to go, and I don’t force it.”

These few words of Yang Heng were addressed to several disciples, they were all dignitaries of the imperial court, especially the senior disciples, who were even relatives of the emperor and state, with golden branches and jade leaves.

These people have grown up in honey jars since they were young, and they don't know if they can follow him to endure hardships. It's better to make it clear first and let them choose for themselves, so as to avoid any unmanageable things when they can.

Chapter 415 Ready to Leave Beijing

Er Ya's eyes lit up when she heard Yang Heng's words. In fact, she didn't want to stay in this capital for a long time. Although the food and drink here are good, it is too dangerous. They didn't live here for long. After being imprisoned, I don’t know how much I will suffer if I stay here.

However, Yang Heng's disciples are a bit concerned. After all, they are used to living in the capital. Even if they are not favored at home, it is because they have not been favored in terms of political resources. no difference.
