Chapter 1,060 is a liar

Zhao Xu asked: "What does Mingrun mean? Do you mean that Warlock Jiang is trying to deceive me?"

Su You went out and greeted a small Huangmen, said a few words, and then went to the Xiaohuangmen.

After returning, Su You said to Zhao Xu: "Let's make some preparations first. Can your Majesty let me see the sorcerer later? I will know if it is true or false."

Zhao Xu said: "There is no problem with this. Every morning and evening between classes, the Taoist priest also has a period of time to rest."

After a while, a Taoist priest came, wearing a wide-sleeved silk robe, with a beautiful face and white hair, high energy and a free and easy attitude.

Seeing Su You, the Taoist priest waved his whisk and said, "Jiang Shu, a mountain man, has met Shaobao of that time."

Su You recognized the thick accent: "Sichuan people?"

Jiang Shu Jishou: "The mountain people are from Zhongzhou. Due to the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty, they lived in seclusion in the mountains and have not been exposed to the world for three hundred years."

Su You nodded: "It turned out to be a god, Su You was disrespectful. Then why did you dare to ask the chief, why did you join the world?"

Jiang Shu said: "Speaking of which, this is also a predestined relationship with Shaobao."

"Zhongzhou was under the rule of Kuizhou. The mountain people watched the sky day and night and saw the stars shining in the Kui Gorge. After counting, they knew that there was a wise minister coming to Kui, so they decided to come out to help."

"Oh?" This was a bit interesting. Su You asked: "Then what... Xianchen, are you talking about me? Why haven't I seen the Taoist priest? Otherwise, I will burn incense and pay tribute, and please come to the state government office to worship him.

.”

Jiang Shu acted like a master: "Between cause and effect, if there is a cause, there may not be an effect, but if there is an effect, there must be a cause."

"Shanren are people who have escaped from the world. They cultivate good causes and occasionally bear good results. If everyone knows everything, then they have entered the lower vehicle."

Su You also followed suit and said: "It turns out that when I was in Kuizhou, I was taken care of by the Taoist priest. Su You is ignorant. Please give me some advice from the Taoist priest."

Jiang Shu smiled without any trace of fireworks: "Does Shaobao still remember the incident about the white fox in Kuizhou?"

Su You was shocked: "When I governed Kuizhou, the people were poor, and many were sick and had no money for medicine. Later, I invited the white fox from Chai Duo into the government office to save it from the hardships of wind and rain. After that, there were white foxes in Kuizhou.

The supernatural legend of medicine application.”

"Could it be...that white fox..."

Jiang Shu smiled and nodded: "That white fox is a spiritual beast that was enlightened by the mountain people when they were living in seclusion and bored. Sending it out of the mountains to relieve Wenxing from his troubles is just a matter of effort."

Su You immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Jiang Shu: "The gods are compassionate and merciful. What they did was not to help Su You, but to help the people of Kuizhou. Su You thanked them on their behalf."

Jiang Shu waved his fly whisk and said: "This is just a trail, but moving Yanlidui underwater so that the Xiajiang River will no longer block it will really cost a lot of mountain people's Taoism."

Su You's eyes widened in surprise: "Yanlidui disappeared from the Xiajiang River, and the Kui people attached the myth to Su You. I repeatedly published lists and wrote articles explaining that it had nothing to do with me, but the people didn't believe it... It turned out that he was also a Taoist priest.

What merits do you have? Master Taoist, please accept Su You’s obeisance again.”

After saying that, he stood up and said, "By the way, why did the Taoist priest come to help me instead of helping Liu Yan back then?"

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment by his sudden words, as he obviously didn't know this person.

Then his expression returned: "Hahaha, not everyone has a predestined relationship with Shanren. When Wen Xing was in Tiangong, he had a few drinks with Shanren. As for Liu Yan, what kind of virtue is worthy of my help?"

Su You was a little surprised: "Liu Yan is the governor of Zhongzhou. The immortal lives in Zhongzhou in seclusion. When he suffered misfortune, you didn't know?"

Jiang Shu smiled and said: "My government has clear discipline and strict legal system. Since I have suffered misfortune, I must have violated the national law."

"If he engages in evil deeds and seeks immortality, the mountain people will intervene. It's the law of the country..."

After speaking, he shook his head gently.

Su You had a look of admiration on his face and nodded repeatedly: "I see, I understand."

At this time, a small yellow gate came in with a plate of silver ingots. Zhao Xu said: "Taoist Master, these are the mithril collected in the palace. They were refined by Taoist alchemists in the Tang Dynasty. However, over time, some of them have been turned into copper.

.”

"As I said the day before yesterday, if this method can be restored and the copper in the inner treasury can be turned into silver, the country will no longer be unable to make ends meet, and the Taoist priest's merits will be great. I will not hesitate to invite the Taoist priest to enter Taiyi Palace as the palace master.

Make offerings every day and don’t dare to make any mistakes.”

Jiang Shu took off the silver ingots from the small Huangmen plate and looked at them for a while. Sure enough, those silver ingots were a mixture of silver and copper.

Putting the mithril back: "The Taoist smokes mercury to make elixirs. What they do is to live as long as the heaven and the earth. Yellow and white things are not liked by mountain people."

"When the mountain people of this skill occasionally come into the world, they will refine it in a pot and use it as long as it is enough. If you get greedy, you will be punished by heaven."

"And it is not difficult to refine it outside the world and have abundant spiritual energy. But to do it in Bianjing City, you need a high-grade alchemy furnace, medicinal materials, mercury, and red copper, and it takes a long time."

"If the emperor wants to do it, how about he and the mountain people cart the materials, and the mountain people carry them into the mountain, and return the silver to the emperor after a few months?"

The little yellow man suddenly said: "Don't believe me, this man is trying to deceive you!"

Jiang Shu stood up and said: "Immortal Lord Immeasurable, a small Huangmen, is so disrespectful. It seems that the relationship between the mountain man and the emperor is over..."

Zhao Xu sneered: "No, please invite the Taoist priest to the Imperial City Department to explain the cause and effect, and the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Jiang Shu's expression changed: "What does the emperor mean by this?"

Zhao Xu waved his hand in disgust: "You won't take it with me yet!"

Tong Guan came in with several Tianwu sergeants, pushed Jiang Shu to the ground, and dragged him out with his hands tied.

Jiang Shu was still shouting: "Your Majesty, you treat sorcerers lightly and trust Confucian ministers, so you are severing the road to immortality... You don't want to see the Emperor... Uh huh huh..."

There was silence in the side hall.

Su You stood quietly, while the little Huangmen next to him had his eyes rolling.

After a long time, Zhao Xu finally let out a sigh of relief: "Liu Yan, the governor of Zhongzhou in the Dezong Dynasty, didn't even know about it, and he still wanted to pretend to be an ancient person."

Liu Yan, courtesy name Shi'an, was an outstanding economist and reformist figure in the Tang Dynasty.

He was talented at a young age, known as a child prodigy, and became famous in the capital. After becoming a Jinshi, he was promoted all the way to the Minister of Household Affairs, where he managed affairs such as paying bills, coining money, and salt and iron.

The implementation of a series of fiscal reform measures such as the Yanyan Law, the Water Transport Reform and the Changping Law increased central revenue and made important contributions to the economic revitalization of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion.

Because of his meritorious service, he was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tongping Zhangshi, and was granted the title of Pengcheng Bo. He was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs Zuopushe.

In the first year of Jianzhong, Liu Yan was slandered by Prime Minister Yang Yan and demoted to the governor of Zhongzhou. He then committed suicide at the age of sixty-five.

Although this historical figure is not popular, if this Warlock Jiang was really a Chungju native of more than 300 years old, he would have been in his thirties or forties at the time, so it is impossible that he did not know about Liu Yan.

Zhao Xu actually didn't know Liu Yan, but when Wang Anshi and he discussed reformist figures in history, he highly praised Liu Yan and believed that if he had not died, there might still be hope for the Tang Dynasty, so he was deeply impressed.

There were white foxes in Kuizhou and Yanlidui disappeared. Su You had long told Zhao Xu about these things as a joke. At that time, he was also afraid that Zhao Xu would really think that he was supernatural, so he tried his best to make himself just an ordinary person in the eyes of the emperor.

It's just that Zhao Xu believed that Shintoism was beneficial to the stability of the Yi and Han people in Kuizhou, and the use of explosives had to be kept secret at the time, so he did not publicize it deliberately.

Now that Taoist Jiang has deceived people and deceived the person who started it, it would be strange if he is not exposed.

Looking at the little yellow door, Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh: "You really are pretending to be something, Mingrun, what was your idea?"

"Your Majesty also cooperated well." Su You immediately flattered him: "Even the Xiongnu envoys could recognize Wei Wuzhen as a true hero. Cao Wumu could recognize Yuan Hao at a glance as 'really magnificent', and Taoist Jiang claimed that he was an immortal.

, but they can’t see clearly that Xiaoyi is the son of a dragon and a phoenix grandson pretending to be a grandson, and he is really not good enough.”

"Hahahaha... maybe Xiaoyi dressed up too obscenely?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, he gritted his teeth and said, "These evil spirits are really worthy of death."

Su You bowed and said: "The thought of pure filial piety is certainly not your Majesty's fault. There may be some way to immortality, but I have never heard of it being possible in this complicated world."

"Your Majesty, with the Constitution of Heaven in his mouth, educates all peoples, and considers the world as his home, how can he break away from the worldly relationship and get close to the way of heaven?"
