Chapter 20, Crown Prince Tomeng, Talking About Demons
Of course, it is definitely impossible to directly ask Li Shimin for his dreams. He can only choose to save the country in a curve and attack indirectly.
"Although the best choice is the mother of the eleventh prince, since she is not favored, she must not speak enough, and more importantly, she is still locked up now. Even if she takes the initiative to ask for a meeting, it is hard to say whether Li Shimin will not see her or not, if someone will help her communicate.
"Then find Empress Changsun? She is enough, but is it not good to find concubines in the harem to dream? Otherwise, it's better to find other princes. The one with the most weight here is Prince Li Chengqian...
"And he is not very old now, nor is he as crazy as he did later. He probably still has some brotherly feelings for his younger brother who is not threatening - even if he doesn't, he will think he has it.
"If I send him a dream, he will tell the people around him that the people around him will definitely suggest that he tell the emperor about this so that he can win the impression of brothers and brothers and respects, so that Li Shimin can know it."
However, even if Li Shimin knew about this, Shi Zi was not sure that he would come to him.
So he had to make other plans first and be prepared for any trouble.
For example, if you create a little vision and attract attention, you will show your sage in front of others and pretend to be a good person.
However, Shi Zi still doesn't want to use this method. After all, the movement will be bigger and may attract other people's attention.
Although those gods, Taoists and Buddhas probably only pay attention and will not interfere, it is not a good thing for Shi Zi to get too much into their sight.
Of course, I had to go to the inn to rest at night, so now I'd better go back to the inn to rest, and then think about where else to go to Chang'an.
Having said that, he seemed to have ignored a little before.
Chang'an is the starting point for the pursuit of scriptures, but it is also the end point for the pursuit of scriptures. Since Hongfu Temple, which is the starting point, can be signed in, theoretically, another place as the end point should be possible.
However, Shi Zi couldn't confirm which place was. Even if he returned to Chang'an, he still had to meet the emperor in the Tang Dynasty Palace?
Or, when the Tripitaka scriptures are copied and announced later?
In the end, he could only travel around all the temples of all sizes in Chang'an in one afternoon. Moreover, because of the experience of Hongfu Temple, he didn't dare to stay and leave for a while. At least he had to go around first to see if there would be another belated sign-in.
This delayed the time, and Chang'an Buddhist Temple has always been prosperous. Not to mention the other things, the eight major temples in Fanchuan alone were enough for Shi Zi to run away.
Moreover, he still asked the way while looking for places, which was very inefficient.
It seems reasonable that there is no gain in an afternoon.
"It's almost dark, forget it and come out tomorrow..."
Anyway, he can expect to stay in Chang'an for at least one month, and first of all, he has to verify whether Hongfu Temple can become a fixed sign-in place in the future.
This bad system doesn't give me more tips, he can only rely on himself.
So that night, Shi Zi fell asleep in the inn guest room, but in fact, the soul left his body and put his body into the mysterious space. Then the soul floated to the prince's mansion next to the North Garden of Chang'an City.
As Li Shimin's eldest son, Li Chengqian may be noble because of his mother. After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was soon made the crown prince and has been crowned for five years this year.
Li Shimin did train him as his heir. He not only let him leave the palace early to open the palace, but also arranged for him to teach him the confidant ministers such as Wei Zheng.
Now that his legs have not yet been ill and his mentality has not collapsed, Li Chengqian has not disappointed Li Shimin's eager expectations and has a good reputation both inside and outside the court and the country.
Not only is he a kind person and listens to both sides, but he is also very capable, and is often praised by teachers and courtiers.
Although he is still young, he already has a certain moral character. Even Li Shimin plans to let him officially participate in political discussions after he is a little older.
At night, the prince’s mansion was strictly guarded, but this was not difficult for Shi Zi.
The body of the soul is not a practitioner who cannot see through it at all, and the prince's mansion obviously does not have that kind of person. Even if there is one, it is still a low level and it is impossible to see through Shi Zi's practice.
Then he used a wonderful method to pull out Li Chengqian's place from a confused guard, and then walked straight to the study.
With a father like Li Shimin on his head, Li Chengqian, as the crown prince, is under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, he is doing well at the moment, but perhaps because of his paranoid personality, he still has high requirements for himself.
So it was so late that I still insisted on studying hard in the study and studying memorials.
This is the homework left to him by Wei Zheng, one of the teachers. Wei Zheng also has strict requirements on him. It seems that he wants to make up for the regret of not being able to successfully assist another prince ascend to the throne from him.
Li Chengqian didn't think there was anything wrong. Having someone supervising him would also help him maintain pressure.
Shi Zipiao looked quietly in the air, but he didn't notice anything and was still doing his own thing seriously.
Shi Zi also felt a little sad when he looked at a half-aged boy who was actually only twelve years old, just like an adult, who didn't sleep at night and was reading memorials seriously.
Especially when I think of his final outcome, it is time and fate.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
After all, he is not someone's nanny. It's like this one, and he can do something, but he can't stay in Chang'an forever, and he can't help Li Chengqian change his fate.
Next, he quietly approached Li Chengqian and put a sleepy bug on him
When it comes to this sleepy bug, it is also a common trick used by Monkey Brother.
Shi Zi didn't have the chance to use it before, but now it's just right.
Not long after, the prince, who was studying hard, lay on the desk and fell asleep. He couldn't even control the pen in his hand that had a piece of ink stained with paper.
Shi Zi on the beam of the room smiled secretly, and then his soul directly entered Li Chengqian's dream.
In the world in the dream, Li Chengqian has become the lord of the Tang Dynasty.
At this time, Li Shimin was obviously dead. He ascended the throne and became emperor, sat on the dragon throne and read the memorials, and then reported to all the civil and military monarchs and ministers below.
Then the picture changed and it turned into a scene where he came to the harem and played with the female officials and concubines.
Good guy, that scene is just a little worse than the wine pool and meat forest.
This sudden turn almost made Mr. Shi Zi's waist flash. I didn't expect you to be like this.
Fortunately, he felt that this guy was a serious person before, and it turned out that he was pretending.
It is said that dreams are the opposite of reality. In fact, dreams are often a reflection of the inner thoughts. So since Li Chengqian has such a dream, it means that he usually has this idea.
But for various reasons, I restrained myself.
His behavior in his dreams will not lie, and he obviously enjoys such a life.
Unfortunately, if in reality, even if Li Shimin can tolerate this, his ministers would have opinions.
However, Shi Zi didn't care whether he was a consistent person or not, but was even more happy. Such a situation might be more convincing.
So he smiled strangely while slowly approaching Li Chengqian.
Because it was in a dream, the people around him were just NPCs, and for Li Chengqian, he didn't realize at first that there was something wrong.
But after passing the eunuchs, Shi Zi continued to move forward and had already reached the warning area in the hall, only a few steps away from the playing emperor and concubines.
This is a dangerous distance, and Shi Zi's uncovered actions finally attracted Li Chengqian's attention.
At first, Li Chengqian only thought he was a passerby, but seeing how he looked, it was obviously different from what he imagined, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Shi Zi was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he asked straight to the point: "You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty?"
Li Chengqian's expression changed slightly. Since he was the emperor in his dream, everyone around him would only respect him as His Majesty. How could he call himself the prince?
Years of influence and teaching are still useful. He reacted quickly and immediately asked: "Who are you and why are you in a lonely dream?"
Seeing that he realized that this was a dream, Shi Zi smiled faintly and said, "I came from the realm of nothingness. Because I was guided by the ancestors, I came out to experience the mortal world. I heard that Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty and was very prosperous, so I came here to visit.
"But I didn't expect that after this, I saw the demonic aura over Chang'an City, and there was an evil demon. And the place where the evil demon was was in the palace..."
To be a qualified lobbyist, you must first know how to exaggerate.
It’s like those who laugh three times when they meet and then say “You’re in trouble”. If they start to calm the other party, they can master the rhythm of their words and make the other party feel convinced without knowing it.
However, at this time, Li Chengqian obviously did not believe him immediately, but asked back: "According to the Taoist priest, what is this evil demon? Is it a palace servant, prince, imperial concubine, or... emperor?"
At the end, he actually sneered.
Shi Zi couldn't help but say, "If you grow up like this, how can Li Zhi have anything to do in the future?"
Although Li Zhi is also very awesome...
Faced with Li Chengqian's doubts, he shook his head and said, "This evil demon is naturally an alien, so what does it have to do with the people in the palace? But I only know that this evil demon has now harmed a prince and is still hiding in the palace.
"If you let it continue, there may be more than one prince, others, even the emperor, who may be killed."
Li Chengqian's face changed slightly, obviously thinking about Li Jian's incident.
He didn't know whether he knew the reason, but at this time Shi Zi said: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe in me, I can only help me. I just blame me for being too shallow in my actions to kill demons for the Tang Dynasty.
"But if you meet the prince, if there is any danger in your life, I will be reborn and reborn for the prince..."
After alarmist words, they play hard to get.
Of course, Shi Zi is not talking nonsense. Later, Li Chengqian was indeed tortured by illness and suffered two serious illnesses in a row, until it affected his legs and feet, becoming a cripple. Since then, his temperament has changed drastically, which has eventually led to a big mistake.
