Chapter 16: Divination on behalf of the heavens (Happy New Year!) )
Li Xin's character is a lazy person, otherwise he would not have put such good resources away, and he would really spend a few years idle and not ask questions in the court, but laziness is laziness, and he will still do what he should do.
As early as the three years of Chengde's westward expedition, he had some precautions against the high Son of Heaven, otherwise the Hanzhou Mansion would not have been deliberately made into such a situation by him, since he had a defensive heart, then he could not have been eating and waiting for death in the capital for five years, and he had to slowly make himself stronger.
This force hidden in the shadows is Li Xin's achievements in the past five years...... One.
This dark force was formed by Li Xin with the help of Shen Gang, and in the past few years, he has recruited a lot of people, and now, this force buried deep in the capital has been very considerable.
Li Xin established this force, on the one hand, to facilitate his own inquiry, but the investigation of information is only secondary, and his main purpose in establishing this force is very simple, that is...... If he turns his face, this hand hidden in the shadows must have enough ability and means to send him and his family out of the capital.
This goal is very difficult to achieve.
For this goal, Li Xin has spent an unknown amount of money in the past few years, just to make this force grow stronger without attracting anyone's attention as much as possible.
After Shen Gang listened to Li Xin's words, he bowed his head deeply: "Master Hou, who are you looking for?" ”
Li Xin said indifferently: "A person named Li Xing, a native of Bashu, if he remembers correctly this year, he should be about to be forty years old. ”
"That's all you know, you go look for it first, don't act rashly if you find it, come and inform me immediately."
Shen Gang said respectfully: "I understand my humble position. ”
Li Xin was silent for a while, and continued: "Whether you can find it or not, don't make a large-scale move, so as not to attract the attention of others." ”
Shen Gang said respectfully: "I understand my humble position. ”
After speaking, he slowly withdrew from Li Xin's study, then hugged his fists at Chen Sixteen outside, and walked away in the night.
After he left, Chen Sixteen walked into the study, bowed his head to Li Xin and said, "Master Hou, it's time to see that it's going to be ugly, it's time for you to rest." ”
Li Xin got up and stretched, and said, "Got it, let's go to sleep." ”
…………………………
These dark things are destined to be unknown.
However, in comparison, some major events on the bright side are very eye-catching, for example, seven or eight days after Li Xin received Mu Yingxin, rumors began to circulate in the capital.
The younger brother of the legendary Chunyang Zhenren, a Yangzi Zhenren from the Taiyi Palace of Zhongnan Mountain, is about to enter Beijing to meet His Majesty in the near future.
The story of Chunyang Zhenren, there are stories of Li Xin who had almost no loopholes back then, coupled with the spread of Mr. Storyteller and various forces over the years, it has become well-known in Dajin, especially when the imperial court also came forward to shape the golden body of this Chunyang Zhenren, the folk belief and worship are even more uncontrollable, and in just five or six years, he has become a god known to almost everyone in Dajin.
The influence is close to the old man Ye of the Great Jin God of War.
It is precisely for this reason that the Daomen, which were originally in decline in this dynasty, have become a lot more prosperous in an instant, not to mention anything else, at least the incense of Taiyi Palace in Zhongnanshan has never been cut off in recent years.
In the past, the Great Jin Dynasty as a whole was biased towards Buddhism, after all, the Great Jin royal family preferred to eat fasting and chanting Buddhism because of the fact that it was in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years, and Taoism was once suppressed to the bottom, but because of the sudden emergence of such a god in the Taoist Gate, it prospered all of a sudden.
Right now, the junior brother of Chunyang Zhenren, Yiyangzi Zhenren, is about to enter Beijing to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and the people in the capital are boiling for it.
The younger brother of the immortal is naturally also an immortal, which is a matter of course, so this Yiyangzi real person from Taiyi Palace in Zhongnan Mountain is regarded as an immortal by everyone in the capital.
Except for Li Xin.
In this world, no one knows better than Li Xin how the pure yang real person came to be, and how this so-called immortal junior disciple Yiyangzi came to be.
Pure Yang Zhenren is a story made up by Li Xin according to the template of Lu Jianxian in another world, as for this Yiyang Zi Zhenren, he is the head of Taiyi Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, and he used nearly ten carts of medicinal materials to make a deal with Li Xin.
Although he knew that this was a scam, Li Xin was not ready to expose anything, anyway, everyone took what they needed, and there was no need to embarrass others.
However, Li Xin didn't want to provoke this Yiyangzi Zhenren, but Yiyangzi Zhenren found Li Xin.
Just when it was still rumored in the capital when Yiyangzi Zhenren would enter Beijing, a fairy-like Taoist priest with a white beard and hair was already sitting in the living room of the Marquis of Jing'an, smiling at Li Xin.
"Hou Ye Li hasn't seen him for a long time, and his demeanor is better than in the past."
Li Xin glanced at the old Taoist priest.
Nonsense, at that time, Lao Tzu was tanned in the southwest and was embarrassed, but now that Bai is back, it is naturally better than in the past.
"It's better to worship Your Majesty when you enter the capital, what are you doing in Benhou's mansion?"
After Li Xin took a sip of tea, he asked without being salty.
"One is to thank Hou Ye for his salvation back then, and the other is to ask Hou Ye for something."
The old Taoist clapped his hands, and several middle-aged Taoist priests next to him immediately sent the prepared gifts, including pearls, jade, and the "pills" that these Taoist priests had blindly refined.
Li Xin sighed with emotion.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and the real person seems to have become wider."
Yiyangzi lowered his head and smiled: "It's all the blessing of the Hou Ye, and our life in Taiyi Palace is a little better." ”
Li Xin blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "The things Benhou has accepted, but the real person entered the capital, and instead of seeing His Majesty, he came to see Benhou first, so the etiquette system is not in line?" ”
The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, the old Taoist has already met His Majesty, and it is precisely because he has seen His Majesty that he has some things to ask the Hou Ye for advice." ”
Li Xin put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly.
"Real person, please speak."
The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, this time the old Taoist entered Beijing at the invitation of His Majesty to calculate the fortunes of the Great Jin Dynasty." ”
"In a few days, Your Majesty will worship the heavens on the outskirts of the city, and when the time comes, Lao Dao will ask for the mandate of heaven for the Son of Heaven and ask for a hexagram from heaven."
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest stood up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.
"Master Hou, although Lao Dao has come into contact with many dignitaries in recent years, he still knows very little about the court, please give me advice, this hexagram ...... What ......should I do?"
Li Xin glanced at the old Taoist priest deeply, and then smiled.
"Dao Chief, you should ask the heavens about this, why did you come to ask me?"
