Chapter 484: Morning Court

"What about the salary?"

A three-yellow plum!

If it is given to Yu Qingyi, maybe Yu Qingyi can break through to the Xiantian realm!

He still loves the three-yellow plum.

"The precious medicine is distributed monthly, and someone will deliver it to the mansion of Marquis Jing'an. The three-yellow plums can only be distributed after the harvest in October!" Lei Qiang said.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes flashed, "Where is the three-yellow plum?"

"Three Valleys!" Lei Qiang said directly without any intention of hiding anything.

"Oh!" Yang Zhengshan showed a look of surprise again.

In this way, this three valleys is still a paradise, no wonder the court chose three valleys as the residence of Xiantian warriors.

Then Yang Zhengshan left the room with the Xiantian Order.

After coming here, he got a Xiantian Order, but this Xiantian Order is still very useful.

You can enter and exit the Canggong Pavilion and the Three Valleys freely.

Yang Zhengshan walked out of the Fengxian Hall, thought about it, and walked towards the Canggong Pavilion.

The Canggong Pavilion is located to the west of the Imperial City, just to the west of the Wuying Palace. It is a four-story pavilion with a separate courtyard and can be entered directly from the Xihua Gate.

· Yang Zhengshan held the Xiantian Order and easily passed the inspection of the personal army and entered the Canggong Pavilion.

"This is the Marquis of Jing'an, right? Our Wang Shu has met the Marquis of Jing'an!"

As soon as Yang Zhengshan stepped into the Canggong Pavilion, an old eunuch came up to greet him with a smile.

Wang Shu! This name seems to take advantage of me!

Yang Zhengshan complained in his heart, but smiled on his face: "Hello, Eunuch Wang!"

"I dare not, I dare not, please, Lord Marquis!"

"This is the first time for Lord Marquis to come to the Canggong Pavilion. Do you want me to take Lord Marquis around!" Wang Shu was very enthusiastic.

"I couldn't ask for more, then I'll trouble Lord Wang!"

"Haha, no trouble!"

Then, Wang Shu took Yang Zhengshan to visit the Canggong Pavilion.

There are many books in the Canggong Pavilion. One of the first floors is for the body-building realm. There are countless kinds of exercises, up to tens of thousands.

The second floor is for the acquired realm. There are much fewer acquired realm exercises, only more than 800 kinds, but there are many cultivation experiences here, all of which are cultivation experiences left by predecessors.

The third floor is for the innate exercises, only 92 kinds, but the bookshelf on the third floor is still full, because there are more cultivation experiences here.

"What kind of exercises does the Marquis practice?"

After browsing the third floor, Wang Shu asked.

"Yi Mu Changchun Gong!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Wang Shu walked towards a bookshelf, "Marquis, these are all books about Yi Mu Changchun Gong. Yi Mu Changchun Gong is divided into eight volumes, and there are 183 volumes of cultivation experiences left by predecessors!"

"Wait, there are eight volumes of Yi Mu Changchun Gong?" Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's eight volumes!" Wang Shu looked at the books on the bookshelf and said, "These are the eight volumes!"

Yang Zhengshan quickly took out one of the volumes and started reading.

Because he only had four volumes of Yimu Changchun Gong, he always thought that Yimu Changchun Gong only had four volumes.

The four volumes are body forging, strength training, meridian penetration and qi condensation.

His method was given by Ningguo Mansion, there should be no mistakes, but why are there only four volumes?

Wang Shu saw Yang Zhengshan checking the method, and did not interrupt him, but stood quietly beside him waiting.

Yang Zhengshan read all eight volumes of the method, and then he understood why Ningguo Mansion gave him only four volumes of the method.

Because the last four volumes are controlling qi, mystery, entering the subtle, and entering the Tao.

The first four volumes talk about how to break through to the innate realm, and the last four volumes talk about the method of cultivation after the breakthrough.

At that time, Yang Zhengshan had not touched the threshold of the innate realm, and even if Ningguo Mansion gave him the last four volumes, it would be useless, so he only gave him the first four volumes.

But this gave Yang Zhengshan a misunderstanding. He always thought that cultivation after the Xiantian realm had to be explored by himself, and he never thought that there would be a method to practice later.

In fact, the last four volumes are not about an accurate path, but the skills of cultivation.

For example, controlling Qi, what is controlling Qi, what are the effects, in fact, there is no need for special methods to explain, because controlling Qi is a way to use the Xiantian true Qi.

It does not have an accurate path, it is just a direction. As for what kind of path you can take, it depends entirely on your own perception and understanding.

The method only records some cultivation techniques, and they are some relatively simple cultivation techniques. Rather than saying that this is a method to guide your cultivation, it is better to say that this is some explanation that allows you to better understand what controlling Qi is.

In contrast, some cultivation experiences will give you more detailed cultivation techniques.

These cultivation experiences are the experience summarized by the predecessors. Each cultivation experience represents a feasible path, but whether it is suitable for you depends on your own choice.

To put it simply, the cultivation method is just a textbook, while the cultivation experience is the explanation and exercises. You can only learn some formulas and basics from the textbook, but the cultivation experience can help you deepen your understanding of the basics and provide you with ideas for solving problems.

So the four volumes of the method are actually not very useful, but these cultivation experiences are even more rare.

Yang Zhengshan read three volumes of cultivation experience in a row and benefited greatly from them.

"This experience was left by a senior named Qingmu eight hundred years ago. It is said that he has reached the realm of subtlety and can make the true qi change in thousands of ways and be lifelike!" Wang Shu waited for a long time, and seeing that Yang Zhengshan wanted to continue browsing, he couldn't help but speak.

"Old Man Qingmu!" Yang Zhengshan was very interested in this person.

"There are many legends about Old Man Qingmu. It is said that he lived to be 280 years old." Wang Shu said.

Yang Zhengshan showed a surprised look again.

Wang Shu smiled and said: "Practicing Yimu Changchun Gong can prolong life. This old man Qingmu lived to be 280 years old because of practicing Yimu Changchun Gong!"

"What level did he reach in his practice?" Yang Zhengshan continued to ask.

"I don't know. Some say he has entered the Tao, and some say he has only entered the subtle. But there are clear historical records that he really lived to be 280 years old!" Wang Shu said.

The time is too long, and many things cannot be verified. Only the dynasties with orderly inheritance can record accurate and true historical books.

Three hundred years ago, Darong overthrew the rule of Dasheng and inherited the inheritance of Dasheng.

So now we can find some old historical books, but the records in the historical books often tell a person's life in just a few strokes, and many information is not detailed.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and put down the experience of Old Man Qingmu's practice.

This book of cultivation experience is very good, but unfortunately it is useless to him now, because it talks about the cultivation experience of entering the subtle.

He has not even reached the level of controlling Qi, let alone entering the subtle.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the sky outside. He was so engrossed in reading just now that several hours had passed unknowingly. Now it was almost dusk, so it was no wonder that Wang Shu came to interrupt him.

Yang Zhengshan asked: "If I want to copy some cultivation experience, what should I do?"

Wang Shu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, just tell us what cultivation experience you need, and we will ask the young people in the Canggong Pavilion to copy it for you!"

Yang Zhengshan laughed, this service is still very thoughtful. Not only can you browse at will, but there are also people to help copy.

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave first, and I'll come again tomorrow!" Yang Zhengshan said.

"Your Majesty, take care!" Wang Shu sent him out of the Canggong Pavilion.

In the following days, Yang Zhengshan came to the Canggong Pavilion every day and stayed there for three or four hours every day. He read through all the cultivation experiences of Yimu Changchun Gong and copied down some cultivation experiences that were useful to him.

Not only the cultivation experiences related to Yimu Changchun Gong, he also read a lot of cultivation experiences of other exercises.

For example, he also found the art of holding breath in the Canggong Pavilion and asked someone to copy down some cultivation experiences.

Time slowly came to mid-April, and it had been eight days since Yang Zhengshan received the Xiantian Order.

That day, after Yang Zhengshan returned home from the Canggong Pavilion, Wu Hai came to report: "My Lord, today the eunuch Fengyu of the Duzhijian came to inform you that you are invited to the court tomorrow!"

"Go to the court?" Yang Zhengshan asked: "Did the person come to say anything else?"

The eunuch Fengyu was the eunuch in charge of summoning the emperor to meet with someone. The eunuch Fengyu would go to invite the emperor to meet someone.

Since coming to Beijing, Yang Zhengshan has never attended the court.

It's not that he can't go to court, but he's too lazy to go.

Why would he go to court with an idle position?

"No, the person who came just said please go to court, don't miss the time!" Wu Hai replied.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and probably thought that the matter of Nansheng had a result.

"Then you should prepare, don't miss the time when the time comes!"

The morning court of Darong is not held every day, but once every five days, that is, it will be held every five or ten days.

The morning court starts at Mao, and officials have to enter the imperial city at about Yin. After the morning court, officials can go back to sleep.

Yang Zhengshan is reluctant to go to court because it's too early.

Damn, get up at three o'clock to go to the imperial city, and have a meeting at five o'clock. Even cattle and horses can't do such a harm.

...

April 15th.

In the middle of the night, Yang Zhengshan got up and changed into his regular clothes, wearing a black gauze hat, a bright red round collar shirt, a gold and jade belt around his waist, and a unicorn embroidered on his chest.

After putting on his clothes, Yang Zhengshan rode to the imperial city in the dark, accompanied by four personal attendants.

He was not allowed to ride into the imperial city. When he entered the imperial city, his personal attendants would lead his horse to the Zuojun Dudu Mansion, where they could also rest.

After more than ten years as an official, this was the first time that Yang Zhengshan went to court. Before, even though he was a marquis, he did not attend the morning court, but just followed the temporary court meeting.

After entering the Meridian Gate, civil and military officials were waiting for the court meeting, standing in groups of three or five and chatting.

Yang Zhengshan found the Marquis of Changping. It was still chilly in the early morning in Kyoto in April. Liang Chu put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the wall.

"Do you know what the court meeting is about today?" Yang Zhengshan approached and asked.

The Marquis of Changping shook his head slightly, "I don't know, it may be related to Nansheng's affairs, but Nansheng's affairs should not be discussed in the court!"

Although Nansheng's affairs were very involved, they actually had little to do with the court.

Such as the Secret Guards, the Twelve Guards of the Imperial Guards, and the Twelve Battalions of the Imperial Guards, these are all independent military guards outside the court.

So even though the Nansheng incident was a big deal, it did not have much impact on the court.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a while and asked again: "Can you help me introduce your grandfather to your family?"

"Grandpa!" Liang Chu was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "You mean my grandfather! I can't introduce him!"

"Why?" Yang Zhengshan looked at him dissatisfied.

We are in-laws, just an introduction, and you don't help.

Liang Chu smiled helplessly, "I haven't seen my grandfather for two years, I don't know where he went!"

"Uh! Lost!" Yang Zhengshan was stunned.

"It's not lost!" Liang Chu was full of black lines on his head. What does it mean to be lost? How can a congenital warrior who has lived for more than a hundred years be lost?

"Then where did it go?" Yang Zhengshan still wanted to ask this person for advice.

The cultivation experience he copied in the Canggong Pavilion is almost enough. In the next few days, he will ask some seniors for advice. He can ask An Yuxing for advice, and he also wants to ask the one in Changping Houfu for advice.

"Grandfather likes to go to Wanshanling the most. He often doesn't return home for three to five years. So if you ask me to find him, I can't find him!" Liang Chu said with a headache.

Wanshanling is a mountain range that spans the entire Darong, starting from Suzhou Town in the northwest of Darong in the west, passing through Longxi, Longyuan, southern Shanhe, northern Jiangnan, and ending at the eastern coast of Darong.

The entire Wanshan Ridge has countless mountains and spans the northwest, central and eastern regions of Darong. There are countless natural treasures growing in it. It can be said that Wanshan Ridge is one of Darong's largest treasure houses, providing Darong's warriors with countless training resources.

In addition to Wanshan Ridge, the Jiujiang Mountains in the southwest of Darong are also Darong's treasure houses.

However, the Jiujiang Mountains are far away from Kyoto. Wanshan Ridge is just south of Kyoto. Starting from Kyoto, you can enter Wanshan Ridge 300 miles south.

It is understandable that the ancestor of Changping Houfu likes to run to Wanshan Ridge.

Yang Zhengshan and Liang Chu chatted for a while, and then heard the sound of whips. Civil and military officials hurriedly lined up to enter Fengtian Gate and headed to Taiji Hall.

Emperor Yanping yawned and accepted the worship of all officials.

Then the morning court began.

The first to come out to report was Sun Wenjian, the Minister of Revenue. "Your Majesty, the drought in Liaodong has been alleviated this year. Shanhe, Jizhou and other places have sent the affected people back to Liaodong. Pingyuan Provincial Administration Office requests the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 800,000 dan of grain to provide relief to the victims!"

"Approved!" Emperor Yanping said casually.

Sun Wenjian continued: "Pingyuan Provincial Administration Office also requests to exempt this year's tax grain of 150,000 dan and tax silver of 100,000 taels!"

"Approved!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Wenjian returned to the queue.

The drought in Liaodong has ended this year. Since March this year, Shanhe Province and Jizhou have begun to repatriate refugees, but now even if the refugees have returned, they are still short of food, and the court can only allocate grain for relief.

After this disaster, Liaodong is estimated to take ten years to recover.

There is nothing to be done about it. Natural disasters are the most ruthless. A severe drought has killed millions of people. In addition, Yang Zhengshan settled millions of refugees in Chongshan Town, which has almost halved the population of Liaodong.
