Chapter 251: Your Highness, that is the prophecy of Laojun
Kong Qing stood in front of the Qingdu Temple, looking at Cheng Yaojin's retreating back, with the dust in his hand fluttering.
Although Cheng Yaojin tried his best to coerce and induce, Kong Qing never gave any accurate words. He only said something mysterious at the last moment.
"On the day when King Qin becomes the crown prince, he should enter through the Xuanwu Gate!"
When Cheng Yaojin left, he was still confused and had no idea what being a prince had to do with joining the Xuanwu Sect.
After the puzzled Cheng Yaojin returned to Tiance Mansion, he found that not only King Qin was waiting in the hall, but also Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others.
"Zhijie..."
After seeing Cheng Yaojin return, Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.
"Did Qingwei tell you when Gu will become the crown prince?"
"this……"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his head with his hand.
"The little Taoist priest was determined not to say anything. Finally, he was forced to say something by his ministers."
"What did he say……"
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the side, continued.
"Zhijie, you might as well repeat it to me."
"He said……"
Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth without hesitation and said what he had been repeating.
"...On the day when King Qin becomes the crown prince, he should enter through the Xuanwu Gate!"
Listening to Cheng Yaojin's retelling, Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a strange smile.
"If Gu really becomes the crown prince and sits in the East Palace, he will naturally go through the Xuanfu Gate and the Xuanwu Gate when entering the palace. Isn't what Qingwei said nonsense? Zhijie, when you left, you swore that you would get one.
Zhun Xin, in the end, Qingwei used such nonsense to fool you back?"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, Fang Xuanling twirled his beard with his hand and spoke.
"No! Your Highness, what Qingwei said should have profound meaning."
"Deep meaning..."
Li Shimin cast his doubtful eyes on Fang Xuanling.
"Why didn't I see it? Please tell Xuan Ling in detail."
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Shimin sitting in the middle of the hall, nodded slightly and said.
"The meaning hidden in Qingwei's words can only be understood more clearly by connecting it with some of the words that Lao Jun said when he appeared as a saint."
"Should his words be connected with the words of our distant ancestors when they appeared as saints?"
Li Shimin thought seriously for a while, but finally shook his head.
"What does it mean to be lonely or unexpected?"
"The way of heaven is like stretching a bow! Those who are high suppress it, and those who are low lift it up; those who have more will lose it, and those who have less will make up for it..."
Fang Xuanling stood up, cupped her hands towards Li Shimin, and calmly said the first sentence from the Tao Te Ching that Lao Jun had spoken to Li Shimin before sitting down and speaking.
"This was the first thing Laojun said to His Highness."
"That's right!"
Li Shimin nodded, with doubts on his face.
"I remember, but I still don't understand."
"His Highness couldn't figure it out at that time, and neither could I."
Fang Xuanling looked serious and answered seriously.
"So whenever I had free time during this period, I was trying to figure out these words. It wasn't until the recent events happened that I finally came up with some ideas..."
"What?"
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin touched the curly beard on his chin with his hand and asked eagerly.
"Xuanling, you actually understood what Yuanzu meant. Tell me quickly, what is the meaning of those words that Yuanzu said back then?"
"Your Highness is wrong. What I said does not need to be taken into account at all, because I simply gave your Highness a prediction of what will happen next."
Fang Xuanling seemed to have been thinking about it for a long time, and now he was talking eloquently as if he had a pearl of wisdom in his hand.
"The so-called heavenly ones naturally refer to saints. This sentence is what Laojun tells your highness what the saints will do next. For example, everyone knows the original words of the superior ones, so who fits this sentence?"
As soon as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the people present unanimously turned their attention to Qin King Li Shimin.
"hehe……"
Li Shimin laughed to himself and figured out something in an instant.
"Yes, my father indeed feels that standing alone is too high, so what the inferior person is referring to is robbing the third lady of her contribution and giving it to the eldest brother, right?"
"good!"
Fang Xuanling nodded.
"If the prince's trip to Hebei can be said to be because the saint wanted to give the prince a chance to prove himself, then it is an obvious move for the saint to snatch Princess Pingyang's merits and support the prince."
With that said, Fang Xuanling looked up at Li Shimin and continued.
"Your Highness, do you still remember what question you asked Lao Jun and why Lao Jun answered you like this?"
"Of course I remember..."
Li Shimin seemed to have the same memory as Fang Xuanling of what happened when Lao Jun appeared as a saint, and answered without hesitation.
"I asked my distant ancestor, what should I do to make Aye Ligu the crown prince..."
When he was halfway through his words, Li Shimin was suddenly speechless, with a look of horror on his face.
"turn out to be……"
"Yes, His Highness must have thought of it too..."
Fang Xuanling stood up again, clasped her hands into fists, and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin.
"The two words Lao Jun said at that time were to tell His Highness that no matter what you do, it is impossible for you to become a prince, because the saint has no idea of changing himself for the prince."
After hearing what Fang Xuanling said, Li Shimin's face was filled with mixed emotions.
"Haha... So this is what our distant ancestors meant?"
"Exactly!"
Fang Xuanling bowed down again, then turned to look at Cheng Yaojin.
"This time Zhijie asked Qingwei this question, which made me even more certain. We all know that Qingwei is definitely a wise scholar. He must have foreseen all this, so he was determined not to follow Zhijie.
Tell us when your highness will be crown prince."
"Oh I got it……"
Changsun Wuji, who was sitting on the side, said thoughtfully.
"If these words of Laojun are simply prophecies, it would be easy to explain. Then the next thing that will happen to those who are left behind should be that the monks of the Fahua Sect were eliminated by the Sha, and then the saint confiscated a large amount of property.
."
"Yes, what Wuji said is true!"
Fang Xuanling nodded.
"Buddhism has been prosperous for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot of wealth. The Fahua Sect is the largest sect in Buddhism and is even more powerful. According to someone's knowledge, the property and land acquired by the saint Shatai Fahua Sect this time is estimated to be enough
There are tens of millions, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have a surplus."
"correct!"
Cheng Yaojin on the side suddenly said with a look of enlightenment.
"I heard Qingwei say this time that in addition to the property confiscated by the saint, the monks of the Fahua Sect also have a lot of gold beads and other frivolous wealth that they want to secretly transfer out of Chang'an. The amount should be no less than one million."
"A million gold beads..."
After hearing this number, even Li Shimin was a little surprised.
"There are really so many. I thought it would be a lot if there were more than 100,000..."
"I see!"
Changsun Wuji on the side stood up, his slightly round cheeks glowing with excitement.
"This is a gift from heaven. Since Laojun personally predicted this to His Highness, it means that Laojun thinks that Your Highness is the one who lacks. The so-called "what is lacking" means that these millions of gold beads are given by Laojun.
Your Highness, this is your thing."
"As said..."
Fang Xuanling nodded and continued.
"Your Highness has been fighting for many years, so his savings are not abundant, which is exactly what Laojun said is insufficient. Therefore, these million gold beads are what Laojun promised to His Highness."
"Although this thing is indeed a gift from God to King Qin."
Du Ruhui said on the side.
"But there is another problem in getting this thing..."
Li Shimin listened to the discussions of his counselors and nodded slightly.
He was naturally aware of the trouble Du Ruhui mentioned. The money from the Fahua Sect had already fallen into the eyes of his Aye. If he took it himself, he would inevitably have to confront Aye, which would definitely make Aye even more unhappy.
"Didn't Laojun also say something about this?"
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"The way of heaven is to be good at winning without fighting, to be good at responding without speaking, to come without being summoned, and to be silent but good at planning. The net of heaven is vast, sparse but not lost!"
Bang bang bang...
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui on the side were just stunned for a moment, then they raised their hands and applauded in praise.
"Lao Jun is indeed a great man, yes, this is what should be done!"
"etc……"
Cheng Yaojin looked at the three people present blankly, his big face full of confusion.
"I still don't understand what's going on and why you started clapping."
"This sentence does not need to be explained. It is just some specific steps when taking action. Those are insignificant matters."
Changsun Wuji waved his hand casually.
"Don't be anxious, Zhijie. I will tell you what to do after I discuss it with His Highness."
Seeing Changsun Wuji's attitude that you have a low IQ and just do as you are told, Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth silently and glanced at Changsun Wuji with a threatening look.
OK!
Now let me be arrogant!
If you miss this moment, watch how Naoweng comes over with a sack to beat your sap.
Fang Xuanling on the side did not pay attention to the little actions of Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin, but continued to speak.
"Having said that, I can tell you, Your Highness, what Qingwei and Zhijie said."
As he spoke, Fang Xuanling twirled his beard with his hands and said with a heavy expression.
"However, this matter is unusual. Your Highness, please step aside..."
Seeing Fang Xuanling's solemn expression, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to signal the maids in the hall to leave temporarily.
When there were only a few of them left in the hall, Fang Xuanling stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall and prostrated himself directly.
"What Lao Jun said is that those who have more than what is left are damaged by the saint Shatai Fahua Sect, and those who are deficient make up for the deficiencies. The deficiencies originally referred to today's saints, but since Lao Jun told His Highness, he acquiesced that His Highness and the saints became necessary together.
Those who are deficient in nutritional supplements.
In other words, the land and property of the Fahua Sect are replenished by the saints, and the remaining wealth of the Fahua Sect is made up by His Highness. But if you want to get the remaining wealth of the Fahua Sect, Your Highness must snatch it from the saints and get it from the hands of the saints.
it……"
Fang Xuanling knelt on the ground and said loudly.
"This is the deep meaning of what Laojun said to His Highness at the beginning. Those who are high should suppress it, and those who are low should raise it. These two sentences are what Laojun told Your Highness. The saint has no intention of becoming a prince for Your Highness, and those who have more will lose it, and those who have less will make up for it.
These two sentences are to tell His Highness that whether His Highness wants the golden beads of the Fahua Sect or the position of the Crown Prince, he must snatch them from the hands of the saint."
As soon as Fang Xuanling said these words, Li Shimin, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, was immediately shocked.
Steal it from your own Aye...
To be honest, Li Shimin has not thought about the need to use force against his father and brothers in the end. All he is thinking about now is how to impress Aye to give him the position of prince. So when he suddenly heard that Fang Fang
After Xuan Ling's words, he suddenly felt frightened.
At this time, Fang Xuanling, who was kneeling on the ground, continued to speak.
"Looking at it from this perspective, Qingwei's sentence is easy to understand..."
As he spoke, he raised his head, looked at Li Shimin, and spoke word by word.
"On the day when Your Highness becomes the Crown Prince, you should enter through the Xuanwu Gate!"
Snapped!
Li Shimin suddenly reached out and overturned the cases in front of him, and stood up excitedly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, his whole body trembled slightly, and finally squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.
.
"Xuan Ling, please don't say any more. This is the end of today's meeting. Let's all leave!"
