Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 16 Four Sentences of Hengqu
Lu Yuanming's expression shook.

Gu Shen's words opened a door for him.

Lu Yuanming's eyes were dazed, and he muttered to himself, "A great chivalrous man serves the country and the people."

Gu Shen said: "You didn't do anything wrong by setting up refugee shelters outside the city and saving thousands of refugees' lives, but the fault lies in your lack of cooperation. You, a scholar without an official status, have done such a great act of kindness, and you have brought the court to court. Where are the lords of Dagon placed? If the name is upright, the conduct will be smooth. If the name is not upright, the consequence is the current situation you are in."

Lu Yuanming frowned and thought, this was the first time he heard Gu Shen's words.

He wasn't stupid at all, but he didn't think about it, he didn't think that people's hearts are so sinister.

Hearing Gu Shen's argument, Xia Yuanlu, the former Minister of the Household Department in Cell C[-] next door, subconsciously opened his mouth to refute, but the words came to his lips, thinking of the behavior of his colleagues in the past, he didn't say the words of refutation When I came out, I had to turn my head away, feeling depressed.

Lu Yuanming looked at Gu Shen, and asked in a questioning tone, "Do I want to join the officialdom?"

Gu Shen looked at the absent-minded eyes in front of him, and knew that Lu Yuanming was not asking him, but asking himself.

Gu Shen slowly shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just know to follow my heart."

Lu Yuanming didn't speak, he lowered his head and fell silent.

Gu Shen pursed his lips, and said: "I once heard Taoist You Fang say something that a great sage from another country taught his disciples, and I will tell you today, just listen to it."

Lu Yuanming raised his head and looked at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen thought for a while, and said: "Build a heart for the world, build a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

After Gu Shen finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yuanming who was on the spot in a daze, then turned and left.

Gu Shen didn't know how much impact he had on Lu Yuanming and Xia Yuan Road next door after he said the four sentences of Heng Qu, it was like a thunderclap in the ear, and the soul was shocked.

After a long time, Xia Yuanlu jumped up from the thatched grass, with a ferocious expression on his face, he wanted to squeeze his head out of the crack of the fine iron railing, and wanted to call Gu Shen, "Little brother, little brother."

It's just that there were too many shouts in the prison, and Xia Yuanlu's voice could not be heard very far, so Gu Shen naturally did not come back.

Lu Yuanming did not lose his composure like Xia Yuanlu did. He sat cross-legged on the thatch of the prison cell, and the four words Gu Shen just said kept echoing in his mind, "Build a heart for the world, a life for the people, and a legacy for the saints." Absolute learning, bring peace to all generations."

The expression in his eyes gradually became firm.

Xia Yuan Road next door also slowly quieted down. After pondering what Gu Shen said for a while, he felt more and more that this little jailer was not simple, but rather a strange person hidden in the city.

Xia Yuanlu originally thought that he would probably die in this imperial prison. He knew Emperor Xuanhe, and he was so angry that he would definitely kill himself to make an example to others.

But now that Emperor Xuanhe is dead, he doesn't have to die.

And maybe not only do not have to die, but also return to the court.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanlu looked at Lu Yuanming, who was in cell No. C and No. [-] next door, and shouted, "Scholar."

The death of Emperor Xuanhe has no effect on Gu Shen, he is still living his life happily as usual.

It's just that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion can't go.

During the death of the emperor, all entertainment venues across the country were closed, including Goulan and brothels.

half a month later.

The crown prince ascended the throne, and his reign name was Chongning.

The new emperor ascended the throne and amnesty the world as usual.

Many prisoners who did not deserve to die in the Imperial Prison managed to survive and were released from the Imperial Prison.

With the torture in the Imperial Prison, even if the crime committed is not a capital crime, but since entering the Imperial Prison, it is difficult to save a life after several times of severe torture.

Therefore, this amnesty for the world is really a fluke for many prisoners in the imperial prison.

During Emperor Xuanhe's reign, he ignored government affairs, worshiped Taoism wholeheartedly, built Taoist temples wantonly, and the power of the people was withered. The prisoners in the imperial prison always cursed Emperor Xuanhe. One time people gave thumbs up.

Both Xia Yuanlu and Lu Yuanming, former ministers of the household department, were released. When Lu Yuanming left, he even told Gu Shen to separate.

Of course, not everyone was let go. Prisoners who committed heinous crimes were not included in the amnesty, such as the three leaders of the Yanzhou rebels in the No. A prison.

Many prisoners left, and the prison became much deserted for a while.

After delivering the meal, Gu Shen went back to the Eight Immortals table and sat down.

The few targets he was staring at before were also among the prisoners.

This inevitably made Gu Shen feel a little regretful, because there were two targeted prisoners, who committed the death penalty. Before they were caught, they harmed the people. Gu Shen felt at ease by absorbing the black substance produced by such people after death.

But it doesn't matter, because Gu Shen can feel that the shackles that were extremely difficult to break through are now riddled with holes, and it takes only a few days to break into the fourth-rank realm.

In the next few days, the court took action.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, all the Taoist temples ordered by Emperor Xuanhe to be built were stopped.

A group of Taoist priests in Chengtianguan were all arrested, and all the backbones were thrown into imperial prison.

Ji An, the envoy of the Imperial City Division, took action personally, and arrested Master Tongxuan, the master of Chengtian Temple, and put him in the No. [-] cell.

Because he was in the Imperial Prison and well-informed, Gu Shen understood the reason why Chengtianguan destroyed his family.

Master Tongxuan of Chengtian Temple is the guest of Emperor Xuanhe, and the two often talk about the scriptures all night long. A few days ago, Master Tongxuan presented Emperor Xuanhe with an elixir, claiming that after eating it, it can cleanse the body Cut marrow, strengthen body and bones, fill qi and blood, prolong life.

Emperor Xuanhe ate the "elixir", and felt full of energy all over his body. Emperor Xuanhe, who had never slept in the harem for more than a month, had several daughters at night, and he was still at the court meeting the next day to make an order to expand the Chengtian Temple. With Xia Yuanlu being thrown into imperial prison.

It's just that in the middle of the night after Emperor Xuanhe played and sang songs every night for several days, blood spurted from his mouth and died on the spot.

After Emperor Chongning came to the throne, he thoroughly investigated the death of the first emperor, and found the "elixir" and Chengtianguan's head.
