Chapter 504: Yudi is an eminent monk with an extremely gentle temperament; rumors kill people more than swords
Royal brother.
Did you think of this momentarily, or did you say it on purpose?
Fortunately for Fa Hai, after all, this matter has nothing to do with him.
The martial artist on the side almost lost his footing and knelt down on the ground, kowtow and begged for mercy.
Because I don’t know if His Majesty has seen any clues or just has suspicions, and now he is taking the opportunity to test.
She didn't even doubt the possibility that His Majesty just said it casually.
Because...if given the chance, she was really not sure whether she would do anything with His Highness the Crown Prince.
Although this kind of thing is commonplace in the Tang Dynasty, especially among the Tang royal family... There are quite a lot of love affairs between brothers taking in younger brothers and sisters-in-law, and nephews taking on uncles and concubines.
After all, our Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is considered a master in this... It is said that there is a concubine in the palace who was the concubine of the then King of Qi Li Yuanji, and she can be regarded as inheriting the legacy of Wei Wu.
Whether Li Shimin said such words on purpose or accidentally...it frightened Wu Cairen enough.
Whether she allowed or even refused at this moment seemed inappropriate.
If she refuses, it will not only appear to be a cover-up, but also appear to be shady. In addition, it is really difficult for her to find a suitable excuse in a short period of time...
Therefore, she decided to remain silent and not express her opinion on this matter. Whatever His Majesty said, that would be the case... But in the future, when she came to Daci'en Temple with His Royal Highness, she would try not to behave alone.
.
As of now, it can only be like this.
Fahai, who came from later generations, naturally knew that the marriage between Wu Cairen and Prince Li Zhi was definitely in the marriage book... But there is nothing simple in the harem. After all, Prince Li Zhi is also there now.
The Crown Princess is in the East Palace.
So the question is, will the Crown Princess let Wu Cairen take over so easily?
Fahai did not listen to Li Shimin's inner voice with his mind. As the "Holy Tripitaka Tathagata", principles still have to be spoken.
Fahai actually didn't care too much about whether Li Shimin knew about the matter between Wu Cairen and the prince, and he didn't want to know... He had always been reluctant to get involved in such "household affairs".
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and it is difficult for a holy Buddha to sort out family affairs. After all, "home" is not actually a place of "reasoning" in many cases.
But after all, this matter involves the royal family, so it is naturally not an ordinary "family matter". After all, he is the emperor's younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, and there are some things that he really cannot turn a blind eye to... For now, he can only do his best to make things as easy as possible.
develop in a bad direction.
This is also the reason why Fahai did not refuse Li Shimin's request for Wu Cairen and Prince Li Zhi to come to him to study Buddhism.
Rather than letting the two of them go to other "private meetings", it would be better to do it right under their noses. Presumably they don't have the guts to do anything extraordinary in their own place.
Seeing that his younger brother agreed to the matter, Li Shimin didn't stay much longer and left with Wu Cairen.
After leaving Daci'en Temple, the two got on the carriage. After walking for a while, Li Shimin suddenly looked at Wu Cairen and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you are a little uneasy?"
Wu Cairen:...
What to say?
Although she is naturally intelligent, she has not yet reached her peak growth... In addition, with the presence of Queen Changsun in the harem, everyone has always been peaceful, and Wu Meiniang's talent and potential have not been redeemed.
In addition, what happened today had a huge impact on her. When she heard His Majesty asking her such questions again, she didn't know how to respond. However, she had to answer His Majesty's questions, so she had no choice but to answer.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Master Tripitaka's gaze is like a torch. My concubine seems to have no secrets in front of the Holy Buddha. Therefore, I lost my mind for a moment and I still can't calm down... It made Your Majesty laugh."
"Hahahaha -" Li Shimin laughed a few times, "Not to mention you, even me, and all the gods and Buddhas... How many of them can keep a calm mind in front of my emperor?"
Looking at the entire Three Realms, not many people would object to this.
Especially those gods, bodhisattvas and monsters who have dealt with Master Tripitaka know better the oppressive force when facing Master Tripitaka.
In this regard, Lingji Bodhisattva and Silver Horn King have the most say.
"You don't have to worry too much about this." Seeing that Wu Cairen did not dare to answer, Li Shimin smiled and comforted her: "When you come here a few more times and get familiar with Yudi, you will know that Yudi is not actually
It seems so inhumane.”
"Look at his cold face now. In fact, before he left the Tang Dynasty, he was a monk with an extremely gentle temperament... It must be because he has seen so many dangers in the world and the suffering of all living beings in the past fourteen years...
It will be so.”
"Peace of mind." Li Shimin patted Wu Cairen on the shoulder, then closed his eyes to rest and stopped talking.
call--
Seeing that His Majesty did not go into details but stopped here, Wu Cairen breathed a sigh of relief, but she would not relax because of this.
The reason why she has been uneasy...is not because of Master Tripitaka, but because of His Majesty in front of her.
She had never had such a long time alone with His Majesty in the past, but what happened today made her even more afraid of His Majesty.
Because she couldn't see His Majesty's mood or anger at all. The more she tried to guess His Majesty's thoughts, the more confused she became. And for most smart people...when facing the emperor, they couldn't guess or guess.
It would be a very scary thing to guess where the Sacred Heart is.
Wu Cairen is undoubtedly a smart person, even the smartest among smart people... Therefore, after experiencing the initial panic, she quickly calmed down.
No matter what Your Majesty thinks, as long as you stay calm and don't make mistakes, nothing big will go wrong.
East Palace.
When Li Zhi heard the news, he felt even more mixed with joy and sorrow... Li Zhi knew best what his father's methods were.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He even suspected that his father was warning him to put away those little thoughts that he shouldn't have as soon as possible... But soon, Li
Zhi felt that something was not right.
After all, I have never done anything out of the ordinary with Wu Cairen, and I have never interacted with him in private... When I meet in front of others, I am polite and have no arrogance.
Except for the occasional bold glances that lingered on Wu CaiRen, what he was thinking in his heart had never been revealed to the outside world.
How could the father know?
Um!
Li Zhi clenched his fists and said to himself: Except for me, no one else in the palace is very interested in Buddhism. Naturally, I am the only one who can go to Daci'en Temple with him!
Isn't this fate?!
As for the fact that Wu Cairen is his father's concubine... Li Zhi even complained that his father was not honest.
In terms of age, Wu Cairen was only fourteen years old when she entered the palace. She was more than enough to be the daughter of her father... She could obviously marry the prince, but she still wanted to be included in the harem herself.
It's okay to be included in the harem, but I'm not favored...
Although Li Zhi was a little bit dissatisfied, he was happy to see this scene. After all, his mother was the empress of the dynasty, so he naturally did not want other concubines to be favored by his father.
Li Zhi even hoped that Wu Cairen would remain in such a state of being ignored. It would be better if his father could never remember her.
But today, when he saw that his father had left Wu Cairen behind, and only the two of them met with the emperor's uncle, Li Zhi still felt an inexplicable pain in his heart... Even after returning to the East Palace, he was worried about gains and losses, and was out of his mind.
But after receiving the order to go to Daci'en Temple with Wu Cairen three times a month to study Buddhism with Master Tripitaka, it can only be said that there is a bright future, and the dark clouds in my heart were blown away in an instant.
Manna Hall.
"Obey the etiquette."
"His Majesty."
A general of the Forbidden Army appeared in front of Li Shimin in response.
Zunli is the character, his surname is Li and his given name is Junxian.
Originally a subordinate of Li Mi in Wagangzhai, he later became Wang Shichong's hussar. Because he was disgusted with Wang Shichong's character, he led his subordinates to join the great ancestor Li Yuan... After the emperor Li Shimin came to the throne, he was appointed as the Zhonglang General of Zuowei Prefecture.
He made great contributions in the battle against the Turks, and was later changed to Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General, was granted the title of Duke of Wulian County, and was stationed at the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace.
It’s the Xuanwumen that changed in Xuanwumen.
In the 22nd year of Zhenguan, a folk rumor spread to the palace that "the heroine Wu Wang rules the world"... It happened to be a banquet. Li Shimin hosted a banquet for all the military attachés, made a drinking order, and asked them to tell their nicknames.
When it was Li Junxian's turn, he claimed that his nickname was "Five Niangzi"...
In addition, Li Junxian's official position at that time was General Zuo Wuwei, who was titled Wulian County Duke and belonged to Wu'an County... There were five of them, and there was also a "lady" son among his nicknames, which would inevitably make Li Shimin suspicious.
.
Originally, according to Li Shimin's idea, he wanted to find a reason to demote Li Junxian out of Chang'an and then see the consequences.
But because he has awakened the power of human blood, and as the emperor, he can use some human power to a certain extent... It is precisely for this reason that when he used the power of humanity to explore Li Junxian's background, he discovered that he
There is no Ziweixing aura in him... Let alone the truth or falseness of the rumor, even if it is true, the person is definitely not Li Junxian.
Therefore, Li Junxian, who would have been unjustly killed as a "scapegoat", is still alive and well.
Not only was he not killed by Li Shimin, but he became one of Li Shimin's confidants. Now he is General Zuo Yu Lin Wei, in charge of the Imperial City Guards, and is only responsible to Li Shimin.
However, he has to handle some of the dirty and dirty work.
"Let's put that matter aside first."
Snap!
Li Junxian immediately knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and did not dare to say a word.
That thing?!
Of course, Li Junxian knew what His Majesty was talking about. It was nothing more than the rumor that "the female protagonist King Wu rules the world".
He almost lost his head because of this incident back then, but His Majesty's heart was as clear as a mirror. Instead of blaming himself, he used him more and more. This made Li Junxian, who was already loyal, even more convinced of His Majesty.
only...
Although His Majesty believes in his innocence, Li Junxian himself is not indifferent to this matter. After all, as long as the "rumor" is not confirmed, or the real "female protagonist Wu Wang" is not found out, sooner or later he will
Someone put the pot on their head.
If he wanted to prove his innocence, Li Junxian had no other way.
But as the years passed, he was like looking for a needle in a haystack, without gaining anything at all.
Now His Majesty suddenly asked him to put this matter aside. How could he not be worried?
Seeing Li Junxian kneeling below, his expression changed drastically for a while, and finally turned pale. Li Shimin said to himself: He is also a fierce general on the battlefield, but he still loses his composure because of these rumors...
It can be seen that sometimes, killing someone does not necessarily require a knife.
Rumors kill more people than swords... But I am a "wise king", and I am different from those foolish kings who believe in rumors and kill loyal people.
This is what Li Shimin, who considers himself a "Mingjun" and wants to be an emperor and a holy emperor throughout the ages, thinks of this.
"Get up first." Li Shimin called him.
"The general will not dare."
"Get up." This time the tone was more serious.
Li Junxian had been following Li Shimin for many years, so he could naturally tell what was good and what was bad. He didn't hesitate at this moment, so he stood up immediately, bowed his head and stood to one side.
"There are only two reasons why I won't let you continue to investigate this matter." Li Shimin said solemnly: "You are also a smart person, so you might as well guess for yourself."
"Well..."
Li Junxian, who had forcibly calmed down, was still able to analyze the situation at hand, and in front of His Majesty... there was no need to hide his clumsiness, because His Majesty knows people well and loves virtuous talents the most... Those who deliberately hide their clumsiness will only end up...
You will hide yourself.
As for "being afraid of the worthy", His Majesty would not have such an idea. He would only say: All the heroes in the world are under my control.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, if there is no real material, how can you let His Majesty trust you to leave the errand to me?
Li Junxian, who was not a fool, figured it out at that time, "Actually, there is only one reason for His Majesty...that is, His Majesty has found the 'female King Wu'."
"And for the general, it's nothing more than whether that person is himself or not."
"The general can still talk to His Majesty face to face at this moment. Come to think of it..." Li Junxian finally let go of his worries for many years, and his originally pale complexion became much rosier: "That person is indeed not the general."
Bang bang bang!
Li Shimin clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Not bad."
...
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were sitting across from each other in the Taishi Bureau, looking at each other.
"When will Your Majesty be able to mobilize the power of humanity?" Yuan Tiangang asked Li Chunfeng.
"Not sure."
As the spokesperson of the People's Religion, Li Chunfeng should have full say in this matter, but he was kept in the dark by Li Shimin. That is, when they met Wu Cairen by chance in the Imperial Garden that day, the two of them learned from His Majesty.
Some clues can be seen in the strange fluctuations coming from the body.
The power of humanity.
The reason why the human kings back then were able to traverse the three realms was that, in addition to the power of their own bloodline, it was also very important to be able to control the power of humanity... In other words, if they could not control the power of humanity, they were not qualified to become
The king of men.
This is why those "civilian officials" back then were all extremely ferocious, but they could only be civil servants.
After hearing Li Chunfeng's answer, Yuan Tiangang was silent for a while and then said: "Fortunately, your Majesty can only use a little bit of the power of humanity..."
"What's good?" Li Chunfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang with some doubts.
