The next day, when Wu Yi left the inner courtyard with Li Gu to meet other disciples in the outer courtyard, he went out of the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard was completely another heaven and earth, with lanterns and colorful ribbons everywhere, and objects containing the meaning of happiness and longevity were everywhere.

In the capital Taoist temple, the monks who really step into the door of cultivation practice in the inner courtyard. In the outer courtyard, they are ordinary registered disciples who do not know the true dharma and do not understand the sense of Qi. There is a big difference between the capital Taoist temple and other Taoist temples, that is, this Taoist temple is built in a densely populated place, unlike other Taoist temples, which are far away from the city and few people, Like Wu Yi's view of Liucheng, the back mountain is full of fierce animals and poisonous insects.

However, pilgrims often come to the capital Taoist temple, including many royal relatives and relatives. Even the emperor has to hold the event of sacrificing heaven and establishing his own line after being sealed, which should also be held by people in the capital Taoist temple, so as to reflect the influence of one valve on the country and stabilize the status of the state religion. Compared with other Taoist temples, the requirements in this regard are not as strict as those in the capital. They just come forward to solve some things that can not be solved in the ordinary world.

However, the Taoist temple is a place outside the square after all. For example, even the emperor's birthday has not changed in the inner courtyard. The outer courtyard often receives pilgrims. Naturally, it should be well dressed. Even if many disciples come and live here, they are just not allowed to let pilgrims live. They are still allowed to come to pray.

Seeing Ge Yunyi and other disciples again, Wu Yi turned a blind eye to their envy and walked into their team. At this time, these disciples gathered outside Lingchen hall, the main hall of the outer courtyard. There was a large open space, which could accommodate thousands of people. Daewoo had 36 counties and more than 100 Taoist temples. This time, more than 2000 disciples came and filled the whole open space.

The disciples of each Taoist temple have their own positions. Even the Taoist robes are unified blue and white, with the wind of elegant dust. Although they are not as neat and upright as the mortal army, they are forbidden by orders, and appear scattered, there is no situation of walking around. Leaders of Taoist temples like Li Gu stand in the front of each Taoist temple and have the responsibility of rectifying discipline.

Next to the bronze and gold inlaid gate of Lingchen hall, Bai Yu, the leader of the capital Taoist temple, wears a five mountain crown, wears a purple gold painted eight trigrams Taoist robe and holds a dust brush. He looks like an expert.

"All of you, since the reign of Gengshi emperor, we have been enjoying a good night's sleep and reviving the dynasty. The sea is clear and the river is clear. The world is settled. Today's Lord's birthday is celebrated all over the world, and we celebrate together." Bai Yu's full voice spread all over the hall, and everyone heard it clearly.

However, Wu Yi thinks of Wang Qichen's speech as if he were speaking beside you, while Bai Yu completely relies on real Qi to spread the sound wave. As a person close to him, Wu Yi feels that his eardrum trembles endlessly, and there is even a moment of loss of sound. Of course, such a comparison is naturally unfair. After all, Wang Qichen is only talking to more than 100 people, while Bai Yu is talking to thousands of people.

However, after all, Wang chuanchen is in control of the road of sound, which should be better. Wu Yi said. Now he was so bored that he thought about these boring things in his heart. There was no other reason. After making a beginning, Bai Yu talked endlessly about how each disciple should be on his birthday. Everyone practiced all day in the Taoist temple. Even when they went out of the cave, they mostly went out to listen to teaching and explain Taoism. They were rarely constrained. It was up to their own mind to practice and rest. Now this can't be done, That won't work. How not to bore them.

Not only Wu Yi, but also other disciples had the same attitude. They just photographed the professor standing in front of him. It was not easy to pass the time and express their dissatisfaction. They had to droop one by one, listless and wandering outside the world.

Bai Yu didn't want to be like this. There's so much nonsense. Don't say that he is a disciple, even a professor like Li Gu. The foundation building friar at the first level is also very dissatisfied, but what can he do? Behind him, there is a white eyebrow old Taoist. This real man is from Ping family. He has to coax this one to be happy.

The oath meeting lasted more than half an hour until the sun turned to the center. Bai Yu stopped talking and asked everyone to attend the banquet.

The vast disciples of Taoist temples travel in three or four streets. When they see these Taoists travel, even if there are enough gaps between Taoist temples for other pedestrians to cross the street, no one dares to cross. Even ordinary people know that these are real practitioners and should not be insulted.

After all, it's the birthday of the Lord of the country. It's shocking and offends the imperial power. Wu Yi and them are not allowed to easily use Taoism in the capital, nor are they allowed to drive the clouds to get angry. However, even so, at the speed of Wu Yi's progress, ordinary people can't see the change of steps, but they see the shadow of their feet, the shadow of their front and the shadow of their back. They are dazzled for a moment, and their hearts are even more awed.

When Wu Yi and his entourage were weak, they were also the peak of four changes in Qi refining. Their feet were not weak. That's why they walked for half an hour outside the state hall of the guest banquet.

When you get to the place, you still need to stand at the designated position. At this time, all officials, bureaucrats and ministers arrive, and countless gold armor soldiers stand on both sides with knives. They all get up early in the morning before dawn and wait in the cold wind. They dare not let the Emperor wait. In contrast, Wu Yi, a group of Taoists, is the latest group to come.

The time is coming. Wu Yi and others hurriedly stand at the designated position under the guidance of the master of ceremonies. Wu Yi and others wasted too much time and talked about too many useless things before Baiyu, which makes them so flustered now, but they haven't opened their eyes to tell them now.

In order to stand up as soon as possible, they couldn't help but exercise their aura. They were surrounded by white fog and accompanied by the breeze. Coupled with the carefully prepared sky blue Taoist robe, they looked more elegant. When all officials saw that the people in the Taoist temple came so late, they were dissatisfied. At this time, they only dared to bury them in their hearts and didn't dare to whisper and complain in private as before.

Seeing the admiration of all officials, Bai Yu closed his eyes and meditated as if there were no one else. He didn't mean to do it now. It's not empty talk that religious power is superior to official power. Even if he tried not to evolve supernatural powers in the capital in order to maintain the majesty of imperial power, it's still necessary to let these officials who have a high habit understand what's up and down.

After the Taoist priest stood, the Gengshi emperor came late accompanied by a group of palace maids. If you look closely, you can find that the Gengshi emperor's pace is unstable and often goes in the wrong direction. It is the support of the queen around him that didn't fall down and make mistakes.

The empress has curved eyebrows and plump cheeks, bright moth eyebrows and teeth, wears a dragon and Phoenix pearl crown, a red large sleeved dress, a Xiayu, a red Luo long skirt, a red Beizi, a dragon and Phoenix ornament on her head, and a woven gold dragon and phoenix pattern embroidered on her dress. Looking forward to her, she was very noble. After the death of the husband and wife of the Gengshi emperor, she continued to marry in her 60s. At that time, it was a political marriage, She is the daughter of the Lord of Linxia, a neighboring country of Daewoo.

The name of the state of Linxia is not preceded by a big character to show respect. Its national strength is naturally inferior to that of the state of Daewoo. However, its people are long in the bitter and cold land of the northeast. They live by fishing and hunting, are good at fighting and cutting, and have leveled many border aggression for the reform emperor. Even many people of the state of Linxia are still honoring generals in the state of Daewoo, ranking on the top of ministers and relying on the power of their mother country, The queen was able to firmly control the state affairs of Daewoo after the emperor Gengshi could not handle the government, so that the crown prince who was not born of her fetal blood had to ascend to the throne with the help of the power of the Taoist door.

According to her age, the queen is in her forties, but she is still radiant, charming and lovable. However, whenever a man sees the arrogance in his eyes, he will be ashamed and dare not look up.

The emperor and queen took their seats, and the ceremony officially began. The master of ceremonies began to list the achievements of the Gengshi emperor since he succeeded to the throne. In addition to those who spread all over the world, there were a lot of small things, and the splendid articles expanded into a large series.

Wu Yi suddenly understood why so many professors and deacons refused to do this. Even Wang chuchen looked impatient. After a long time of cultivation, the constraints in his heart gradually disappeared, leaving only the persistent pursuit of the avenue. Where would he be interested in these trivial things.

Wu Yi didn't want to listen to these praises. He recognized the sound and practiced it himself. Naturally, he didn't dare to completely calm down. He just meditated and accepted. Like many other disciples, most of the disciples in the Taoist temple were like this at this time. The master of ceremonies didn't blame him. He continued his recitation and announced the beginning of the banquet after reading the lengthy ode.

All officials and ministers bowed down together, while Wu Yi and other Taoists made a head check and said flattering words of eternal life.

The state altar is a place for singing praises, not for feasting. The place for feasting is in the attics behind the state altar. After the emperor and queen left, all people also went to the place they should go with the master of ceremonies.

The descendants of the dragon, the descendants of the dragon, the emperor's relatives and relatives, the literary ministers and CI ministers, the military generals and warriors, and the rest are the Taoists Wu Yi.

Before leaving, Wu Yi, with sharp eyes, saw a young man who seemed to want to help the emperor of Gengshi, but was scolded by the queen. He didn't dare to help him any more and retreated.

Wu Yi doesn't know who the young man is, but combined with his four clawed Golden Dragon suit and his movements, it's not difficult to guess that he should be the prince.

Such a thing happened in front of all the ministers. It can be seen that the external rumors are not groundless. Wu Yi said.

The relationship between the crown prince and the queen is also complex. The great reason why the crown prince can become a crown prince today is the support of the queen. The emperor Gengshi married the queen in his 60s, which may not be inhumane, but it is impossible to continue to reproduce children, which also leads to the fact that the queen has no children behind her.

However, the fact that the queen has no children does not mean that she has no other choice. The emperor Gengshi married and gave birth to a son before her death. It is the current Prince Ping yunce's policy. It should be noted that she was in her forties at that time. Many people inside and outside the court believe that the first queen died because she tried hard to give birth to this son.

The first empress gave birth to three sons and a daughter. The first two sons have long been adults. They are not happy about the birth of the third brother. Apart from the royal family's struggle for power, the brother took their mother's life as soon as he was born, so he has never been seen. Even the emperor of reform does not pay special attention to him. If there are no accidents, he will spend his life in a muddle.

But the accident came. Now that the queen came, she knew very well that she might not be able to have children at the age of the emperor Gengshi. On the one hand, she asked a famous doctor to try to have children, and on the other hand, she brought the peace policy of losing her mother in infancy to raise herself. Give the outside world a virtuous and virtuous image, not to mention, you can also leave a way back for yourself.

Finally, the queen did not have any children. Naturally, Ping yunce was raised by her as her own son. Then, through all kinds of pressure, she removed Ping yunce's two brothers from the throne, far denounced them for resettlement, and helped Ping yunce to the throne of the east palace.

If Gengshi emperor's body is still sound, naturally nothing will happen, but suddenly Gengshi emperor's body collapses. Who will hand over the power? There are two factions in the court, and they are extremely unbalanced. The Ping Yun policy, which originally thought it would get more support, found that almost all the forces in the court are the power of the empress mother. He can't pour a drop of water at all. It is some old ministers of Gengshi emperor who support him.

Therefore, Ping yunce will find another way to find Ping's ancestor and beg for the help of extraordinary power.

The empress scolded Ping yunce and left, which was the last thought of a peaceful solution.

He bowed his head, like a child who did something wrong, but no one found the complex look in his eyes, unwilling, reluctant, regretful and resentful, but in the end, they all became fierce, like a hungry wolf, with green light in his eyes.
