Chapter 24 The Troublemaker
Li Shiming felt particularly energetic these days. Not only was he good at handling government affairs, but he was also good at bed matters. Sometimes, he even had to visit several concubines overnight.
"Your Majesty has been extremely vigorous recently. ChenQie can't take it anymore.”
The Guanyin maid was being caressed by Li Shimin as she cried out shyly.
Li Shi Min was the first to react, and then he fell onto the soft bed and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
"I've indeed been very vigorous recently. I think it has something to do with the peaches of immortality in the Taoist temple.”
Li Shi Min thought for a long time and locked his eyes on the Peaches of Immortality.
"The Peaches of Immortality in Spirit Peak Temple are indeed magical, and that young Daoist must be extraordinary as well. Your Majesty should treat him well."
Empress Zhangsun drew a circle on Li Shimin's chest and advised him kindly.
Empress Zhangsun would never have believed that her body, which had been ill for a long time, had recovered just from a peach of immortality. But now, she believed in such a miracle.
Therefore, Empress Zhangsun's attitude towards Gao Xuan was extremely good!
Li Shi Min nodded repeatedly. He had been an emperor for many years, and he knew that some capable people were quite proud. This was inevitable.
However, Li Shiming knew the art of the Emperor better. He believed that Gao Xuan would be able to subdue him and obediently move the Taoist temple to the foot of the palace. Every day, he would obediently send the Peaches of Immortality for the Emperor to enjoy.
Gao Xuan couldn't help but sneeze and curse softly,""F * ck! Which son of a bitch is scolding me again?"
"Taoist priest, there are more and more visitors now. You should be careful with your words.”
Pei Min quickly reminded Gao Xuan out of kindness when he saw Gao Xuan cursing.
Gao Xuan nodded. He glanced at the ant-like pilgrims, who were about to crush the Taoist temple.
Now Lingfeng Temple was completely famous in Chang 'an. Countless dignitaries, nobles, and ordinary people came here to pray for blessings. Many people from other cities would also travel hundreds of miles to come to this Taoist temple.
The royal family was very efficient. In just a few days, the mountain road was repaired. It was enough for four carriages to drive side by side. It was very spectacular.
There were more than a hundred carriages parked outside the Taoist temple, and there was an endless stream of devotees. The number of hawkers and swindlers also began to increase.
Spirit Peak Monastery was a prosperous scene.
It was a pity that Gao Xuan and Pei Min were not made for a Taoist temple. Anyway, the visitors brought their own incense. The Taoist temple did not provide vegetarian meals or even hot water. However, with its reputation, there was an endless stream of visitors.
When Gao Xuan thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He felt that the ancient Huichang Temple and the Buddhist Light of the Great Ming Temple were simply ridiculous.
"Taoist priest, can this peach make my wife pregnant?”
"Of course, it can cure all diseases. Don't worry.”
Thump! Ten taels of gold went into the Merit Box, making a loud thud.
"Taoist priest, can this peach cure my husband's eye disease?”
"Well said, well said. It can cure all diseases.”
Thump! Another ten taels of gold went into the Merit Box, making even louder thumping sounds.
With the Empress and the Crown Prince's strength as witnesses, the Peaches of Immortality were indeed able to cure all diseases. Many rich and noble families would pay 10 taels of gold without asking about the price.
It was the celebrity effect! To be able to eat the same thing as the Empress and the Crown Prince, this was a great honor in itself. A mere ten taels of gold was not worth mentioning.
"Nephew, my Duke has been looking for you for a long time.”
Gao Xuan was standing under the peach tree and explaining the benefits of the peach to the nobles when a deafening roar came from afar.
Then, a fat and muscular man holding a horse lance strode towards Gao Xuan.
Nephew?
Gao Xuan looked at this guy he didn't know at all, his face full of black lines.
"I just started to make a name for myself. God, don't mess with me."
Gao Xuan thought to himself, but his tone was rather grand." I'm Gao Xuan. Who are you looking for?"”
"This is my father!"
Just as Gao Xuan was puzzled, a head appeared behind the robust man. It was Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chuliang's father, wasn't that Cheng Yaojin?
Gao Xuan understood that this guy in front of him was the legendary nine thousand years old, the most blessed general in history.
"Haha, nephew, you have a good relationship with my son. It's not too much for me to call you nephew, right?”
Cheng Yaojin patted Gao Xuan's shoulder and smiled.
Gao Xuan had been affected by the Taoist temple for days, and his physique had improved many times. He did not feel any discomfort under Cheng Yaojin's heavy pat, and his body did not even shake.
An extraordinary expression appeared in Cheng Yaojin's eyes. He understood that this Taoist temple really had a great way.
"Not too much, not too much. Why did Uncle Cheng come to my Taoist temple?"
Gao Xuan asked with a smile, but when he saw Cheng Yaojin's sly smile, he felt that something was wrong.
"Nephew, to be honest, my health isn't good.”
Cheng Yaojin pretended to cough a few times." So I want to borrow your peach tree. Is it convenient?"”
Looking at Cheng Yaojin's greedy eyes, Gao Xuan was unhappy. This Fatty Cheng couldn't be thinking of bringing the heavenly peach tree home, right?
"Don't worry, there will be people coming to dig the tree. You definitely don't have to worry. I wonder if it's okay for the sake of my reputation?”
Cheng Yaojin walked around the peach tree several times and nodded in satisfaction.
Is it okay? Fine your sister!
Gao Xuan immediately cursed in his heart. Fatty Cheng actually wanted to dig up the heavenly peach tree that even the emperor didn't dare to.
Although Fatty Cheng dared to call the Emperor brother, there was no reason for him to act rashly in Spirit Peak Temple.
