Li Er had followed Li Yuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty when he was young. He had been fighting on the battlefield for nearly ten years. Old Li was used to seeing life and death and those martial arts masters. Although Xuan Qing's strength was very high, Li Er was not afraid that he would suddenly attack in the Sweet Dew Hall. Firstly, his own martial arts were quite good. Secondly, Zhao Song and Li Zexuan were in the hall. Thirdly, he did not believe that Xuan Qing would suddenly attack and assassinate him in the Sweet Dew Hall!
Since ancient times, only tyrants would be easily assassinated. Li Er had always been kind to the people ever since he ascended the throne. He had never done any evil deeds that angered the heavens and the people. As a member of Dao, there was no reason for Xuan Qing to assassinate him. Thus, Li Er did not mind that Xuan Qing carried the sword case in!
Back then, he often met some generals who wore armor and carried weapons here. Why would he care about Xuan Qing bringing weapons into the hall? Li Er still had this little bit of tolerance!
"I am Xuan Qing. Greetings, Your Majesty!"
After a while, Xuan Qing came to the hall. After standing still, he bowed to Li Er and said.
Li Er said politely, "You don't have to be so polite. Come, give him a seat!"
No matter what, Xuan Qing entered the palace this time representing the Celestial Master Taoism of Longhu Mountain. Li Er should give him the corresponding respect.
Not long after, a chamberlain brought over a chair. It was an old-fashioned wooden armchair. With one look, one could tell that it was a "pirated version" that Old Li ordered people to copy from Li Zexuan. Xuan Qing had seen this kind of chair in Li Zexuan's house last night, so he didn't show much surprise. He cupped his hands towards Li Er and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then, he sat down leisurely.
Li Zexuan secretly curled his lips. He was also from the Celestial Master Taoism of Longhu Mountain. Why did he never enjoy this kind of treatment in the Sweet Dew Hall? Old Li was trying to discriminate between the two!
After Xuan Qing sat down, Li Er smiled and said, "The Celestial Master Taoism has been the leader of Taoism in the world for hundreds of years. I have always wanted to go to Mount Longhu to visit the leader of your sect, Daoist Fenglingzi, and discuss the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth together. I did not expect Daoist Xuan Qing to come to Chang 'an. I am very happy!"
Under Li Zexuan's persuasion, Old Li had given up the fantasy and pursuit of "immortals". However, it was hard for Li Er not to pay attention to the arrival of such an important figure of Taoism like Xuan Qing. Besides, it was inevitable that Li Er had some "improper thoughts" in his heart!
After all, the Celestial Master Taoism was the oldest Taoist sect in the Central Plains. It could also be regarded as the sect closest to immortals. Its founder, Zhang Daoling, was respectfully called Celestial Master Zhang by the world. In the history books, Zhang Daoling was a real immortal who had achieved immortality. This also covered the Celestial Master Taoism with a layer of mystery. Li Er was still somewhat in awe of the Celestial Master Taoism.
In the face of Li Er's "enthusiasm", Xuan Qing was unmoved. He sat on the armchair, cold and arrogant, and said, "Your Majesty is too kind! Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the world has been peaceful and the people have been prosperous. The Tang Dynasty has been thriving in Your Majesty's hands. The head of the sect has admired Your Majesty for a long time and has always wanted to come to Chang 'an to pay respects to Your Majesty in person. However, due to the busy affairs in the sect, he could only send me to Chang' an to pay respects to Your Majesty! "
Although Xuan Qing's face was cold and arrogant, the meaning expressed in his words was the goodwill of the Celestial Master Taoism to Li Er! There was no other way. This was the task given to him by Feng Lingzi. Even if he was unwilling, he had to complete it!
Hearing this, Li Er was really happy. He said with a smile, "Haha! As the 14th Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Taoism, Feng Lingzi's Taoism is profound. I have always admired him in my heart! "
According to the historical records, the first four heads of the Celestial Master Taoism in Longhu Mountain, including Zhang Daoling, had all received the Taoism of the Taishang Laojun and became immortals. The current head of the Celestial Master Taoism, Feng Lingzi, whose real name was Zhang Cizheng, was the 14th successor of Zhang Daoling. He could be considered to be from a famous family!
Seeing that the pleasantries were almost finished, Xuan Qing went straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty regards Taoism as the religion of the Tang Dynasty. All the disciples of the Taoist sects in the world are grateful to Your Majesty. As the leader of the Taoist sects in the world, the Celestial Master Taoism wants to lead the disciples of the Taoist sects in the world to help Your Majesty stabilize the country. This time, I came down the mountain under the instructions of the head of the sect. I want to ask Your Majesty for an order to let the Celestial Master Taoism enter the world to save the common people! In addition, the head of the sect also asked me to bring something for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will kindly accept it! "
After that, Xuan Qing took out a book with a blue cover from his sleeve. Li Zexuan, who was standing at the side, curiously stuck his head out to see what the book in Xuan Qing's hand was. However, Xuan Qing seemed to notice his action. He directly put the book into his sleeve and turned around, saying, "Xiaoxuan, I have something important to discuss with Your Majesty. You go out and wait for a while. After the discussion is finished, I will leave the palace with you!"
"… Yes! Uncle! "
It was obvious that Xuan Qing had something to hide deliberately. This made Li Zexuan very confused. He secretly wondered what the mysterious content of the book was. Why did he have to hide it from him? In his impression, Youngest Uncle had never hidden anything from him.
Li Zexuan, who was puzzled and a little uncomfortable in his heart, responded and cupped his hands to Li Er, saying, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!"
Although Li Er did not understand why Xuan Qing had to do this, he was more curious than Li Zexuan about the content of the book in Xuan Qing's hand. Hearing this, he "couldn't wait" to wave his hand and said, "Yes! Then Marquis Yong 'an, you can leave first! "
"Damn it! Old Li is a classic example of getting rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness! How unkind! "
Li Zexuan scolded Li Er for being unkind in his heart. However, he said, "I will take my leave!"
With a complicated feeling of curiosity, doubt, and disappointment, Li Zexuan reluctantly left the Sweet Dew Hall. Actually, if he looked carefully, he would be able to see the deeply hidden awkwardness on Xuan Qing's face!
… … …
Outside the hall, Li Zexuan, who was angry, wanted to leave the Imperial Palace and return to Yun Mountain. However, he remembered that this was Xuan Qing's first time in the Imperial Palace. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be easy for him to get lost. Li Zexuan could only wait patiently outside Tai Chi Palace.
It was almost ten o 'clock in the morning. Li Zexuan thought to himself, "The Academy should be having their final exam right now, right? I hope that group of children can do their best and live up to Old Teacher Wen Ji's expectations! "
After returning to Yun Mountain, Li Zexuan knew more and more about the attack on the Academy that night. This included Li Gang's passionate and righteous words when he faced Wu Jie.
"This old man was originally a scholar. I know the Four Books and Five Classics. I am familiar with the" Records of the Grand Historian "and the" Book of Han ". I only have a few plain clothes and no money. I only have a few hundred students. This is this old man's greatest asset. This old man respects the heavens and the earth, respects morality, and fears the people. You are just a barbarian. How can I be threatened by you? This old man knows that your martial arts are strong and invincible, but I want to see what you can do to me today. "
Thinking about these words now, Li Zexuan could not restrain his entire body from trembling, his blood vessels pulsing. His chest was filled with literary knowledge, his mind was as deep as a valley, his belly was filled with poetic and scholarly spirit. Li Gang's heart was filled with awe-inspiring righteousness, therefore, he was not afraid of ghosts and serpents, much less the Tujue's Imperial Preceptor, who was highly skilled in martial arts!
Li Zexuan admired Li Gang even more for his courage and magnanimity. Fortunately, Li Zexuan successfully pulled Li Gang back from the gates of hell. Otherwise, Li Zexuan would still be in deep self-reproach.
"Little Xuan, let's go! Back to Lantian! "
At some point in time, Xuan Qing walked out from the Taiji Palace and stood behind Li Zexuan.
"Little Martial Uncle?"
Li Zexuan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked in surprise, "Junior Martial Uncle, you've finished your discussion with His Majesty so quickly?"
"Yes!"
Xuan Qing faintly replied with a "hmm" and did not say anything more.
Li Zexuan didn't want to "let go" of Xuan Qing. He asked, "Little Martial Uncle, the book you gave His Majesty, what's the content in it?"
Xuan Qing paused and didn't say anything.
Li Zexuan suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "Could it be that the book recorded the martial arts secret of the Celestial Master Sect? Little Martial Uncle, did you give His Majesty the secret of Taixuan Sutra? "
Facing Li Zexuan's wild guess, Xuan Qing's face turned red. He finally couldn't help but say angrily, "It's not a secret martial arts secret, and it's not Taixuan Sutra. Little Xuan, stop guessing! Go back to Lantian County quickly! Little Martial Uncle has something to discuss with Priest Sun! "
"Oh!"
Seeing that Xuan Qing was unwilling to tell him the content of the small book, Li Zexuan gave up and had to agree. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, "Little Martial Uncle, how was your discussion with His Majesty just now? Did His Majesty agree to the request of our sect? "
Hearing this, Xuan Qing's face immediately returned to normal. He nodded and said, "His Majesty agrees that the Celestial Master Sect and your medical school will jointly set up joint medical centers in all the counties of the Tang Empire. The cost will be borne by the imperial court!"
"That's great!"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan immediately forgot some of the previous unpleasantness and said happily, "With the help of our sect, the joint medical centers of the Tang Empire can be set up in all the counties of the Tang Empire in the shortest time. By then, the people will have no disease that is difficult to treat!"
The biggest obstacle to the implementation of the joint medical centers of the Tang Empire was not the problem of money, but the lack of talent!
The Tang Empire had a vast territory, with a total of more than 360 counties. If the joint medical centers of the Tang Empire wanted to cover the whole Tang Empire, how many medical talents would they need? Now that Old Li had specially allowed the people of the Celestial Master Sect of Longhu Mountain to join the joint medical centers, this was undoubtedly good news. Because the people of the Celestial Master Sect had taken the lead to set an example, in the future, there would be more and more Taoist priests from other Taoist sects who wanted to join the joint medical centers of the Tang Empire!
This was a snowball effect. Taoism had developed for nearly a thousand years, and there were more than tens of thousands of disciples. Most of the people in Taoism were good at medical skills. If more than 30% of these people could join the joint medical centers, the problem of the medical centers being short of people in the early stage would be solved easily!
