There are good things and bad things. Most of the time, he represents bad things, but Li Chengqian laughed and said that something big happened, which at least meant that it was very beneficial to him.
After Li Chengqian said this, he shut up and drank tea slowly, letting Yun Ye guess for himself. This was a kind of enjoyment for him. As the Minister of War, Yun Ye should know more information than Li Chengqian. If If it's a political matter, maybe it's possible. If it's a military matter, no matter what, I can't get around myself, the Minister of War.
The rebellion in Hailing County was just a trivial matter, not enough for Li Chengqian to call it a major event.
"Wang Xuance!" Li Chengqian saw that Yun Ye was puzzled, so he prompted three words. When he heard this name, everything Wang Xuance had done in these years came to mind one after another. He was not only the pride of the Tang Dynasty, , is also the pride of Yushan Academy. The legendary story of one person destroying a country was performed by Wang Xuance.
In the fifteenth year of the Zhenguan reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Magadha, King Jiari, sent a letter to the court after Xuanzang's visit to the country. Li Er ordered Yunqi Lieutenant Liang Huaizhu to report back, and King Jiari sent envoys to China accordingly. In March of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Er sent Weiwei Temple Prime Minister Li Yibiao as the chief envoy and Wang Xuance as the deputy envoy. They accompanied the Indian envoys to apply for employment. They arrived at Wangshe City in Magadha in the first month of the 19th year of Zhenguan and returned to the country the following year. In the 20th year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance became the chief envoy. The envoy, together with his deputy envoy Jiang Shiren, went to India.
"Wang Xuance has been studying the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the Ministry of Rites for many years. As a result, he found that compared to the Tang Dynasty's influence on Tubo, Tianzhu seemed to have a greater influence on Tubo, so he shifted his interest to the country of Tianzhu. He first consulted Master Xuanzang about the customs and customs of Tianzhu, accumulated a very profound knowledge, and learned Sanskrit. Because he knew Sanskrit, he became our deputy diplomatic envoy to the Tang Dynasty at a young age.
This time they went to the territory of King Harsha again. As a result, King Harsha died and the new king detained them. Wang Xuance escaped alone and borrowed 3,000 soldiers and horses from Songtsen Gampo, who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. We defeated that country and captured their king. Of course, this achievement cannot be put on the table."
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he paused again and looked at Yun Ye in confusion and asked: "Yezi, tell me honestly, is there really a way to live forever in this world?"
Yun Ye didn't understand why Wang Xuance was related to immortality. Recently, Li Er always asked him about the jade tablets. He was so annoyed by his questions that he asked Wuji to bring the jade tablets to the palace to give to Li Er. The couple went to give lectures on how to strengthen their bodies. Could it be that Wu Ji exaggerated the power of the jade tablets too much and gave the royal family an illusion?
"There is a way to strengthen the body, but there is no way to live forever. Absolutely not. Anyone who says he can live forever, cut off his head immediately. You will never kill the wrong person. This person is 100% a liar. ."
Li Chengqian seemed to be relieved when he heard what Yun Ye said, and whispered to Yun Ye: "This is the big thing I'm talking about. Wang Xuance brought back a monk from King Harsha's territory. It is said that he has lived for more than two hundred years. , it is a real period of more than two hundred years, not two hundred years calculated according to Jiazi days.
The old monk claims to have been studying the art of immortality for two hundred years. Not only can people live forever, but it is even possible to ascend during the day. I saw the old guy today. His appearance is extremely ancient, his appearance is solemn, and he can move, sit or lie down. We chatted for a few words, and the old monk was very familiar with the teachings of King Maurya. He even had many wonderful explanations. Even Master Xuanzang admired him. My father, the Queen, and my mother specially fasted and bathed for seven days to prepare to listen to the holy monk’s lectures. I have been reading the sutras since I was a kid today. I heard that not only did they lecture on the sutras, but the holy monks also performed magic for my father, the emperor, and my queen. I just had doubts in my heart, so I asked you for confirmation."
"Why didn't I hear anything?" Yun Ye asked Li Chengqian in shock.
"My father said that you actually do not respect ghosts and gods, and do not believe in Buddhism. He just wants to listen to Buddhist scriptures and see the great monk's teachings, and does not want to listen to your sophistry, so Qingque and I are not allowed to tell you. Since you said there is no such thing
It’s okay, so I’m relieved.”
Yun Ye's face was extremely pale. He finally remembered this monk. If he remembered correctly, Li Er had put his life in the hands of this monk.
When a person is nervous, his mind becomes very good. He can even remember the name of this monk, Luo Ersuopo. Yes, that is the name. This is a foreigner who is destined to appear in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
The only reason why the name appears is that he poisoned Li Er to death with the elixir of life...
Thinking of this, Yun Ye's hands trembled involuntarily, and he grabbed the teacup twice but failed to pick it up. Li Chengqian noticed something was wrong with Yun Ye and became nervous. Could it be that this monk really had something wrong?
A place for people?
After calling Yun Ye twice, he pulled him out of his trance. Yun Ye barely put a smile on his face, said a few words of haha, then bowed his hands to Li Chengqian and left.
Li Chengqian stood under the pillars with a gloomy expression on his face. His clenched hands loosened and then opened, and then clenched again. He seemed to be making some difficult decision. When his eyes came into contact with the thousand-year-old cypresses in the courtyard, his expression changed.
He became indifferent and walked into the hall with his hands behind his back. He had already made up his mind, so there was no need to think too much. When things get tough, you need to be bold. This is what my father often said...
Yun Ye was preoccupied and did not return to the Ministry of War. He went directly to the palace, but was stopped in front of the inner palace. The guard said that the emperor was listening to a monk's lecture and no one would be seen today and tomorrow. He also specifically noted that Yun Ye would not be seen.
Yun Ye looked up to the sky and sighed, and then asked to see his eldest grandson. The answer he got was that the emperor and the empress were listening to the holy monk's sermon together. They had fasted and bathed and could not be disturbed. In the palace, Yun Ye could only ask to see these two and the rest of the concubines.
The concubine was being rude, and her repeated requests for permission were sternly rejected.
In desperation, he mounted his horse and hurried back to Yun's house. He needed to sort out his thoughts and think clearly about the cause and effect of the whole thing.
This is the darkest thought. You can't see the sky from above, and you can't connect to the ground below, so Yun Ye sits on the swing. This is an old habit. Whenever he encounters something difficult to decide, he will go to the empty room with a swing.
Meditate in the house. Since she sat on the swing for three days last time, the old lady has specially reserved such a room in the house as a place for meditation for the head of the house.
The Yun family is a large family with complicated affairs. It is not a simple matter to calculate the pros and cons in a short while. If you really want to think about the overall situation, three or two days will not be enough. The entanglement of interests
, the connection of human relationships. How should the Yun family respond if Li Er dies? How should the Yun family respond if Li Chengqian successfully ascends the throne? If an accident occurs, what kind of backup mechanism should be in place? We must think clearly about these.
When dynasties change, a large number of nobles have always been buried with the late emperor. This has been the case since ancient times for the emperor and his courtiers. This is also a universal truth. If the emperor does not see him, he has no way to prevent this from happening. So.
You need to do the next best thing and save the Yun family. No matter how good your relationship with Li Chengqian is, if something goes wrong at this juncture, Li Chengqian probably won't have the slightest hesitation in dealing with the Yun family, because at that time, Li Chengqian's name was
Son of Heaven.
Within three days, Yun Ye had to go to the palace three times without being able to enter the inner palace, and the period of menstruation lectures for nine days in a row still did not pass.
Three days were enough for the Yun family to do a lot of things. Xin Yue didn't dare to ask, but he started to panic when he saw her husband starting to summon retainers to discuss matters, especially when he saw Lao Jiang, who had not recovered from a long illness, appearing coughing.
She was even more frightened when she was in the meeting hall.
Lao Jiang is in charge of the Yun family's secret passage mechanism. He usually hides in the wine shop and never leaves the house. Now that he is here, it means that the Yun family is likely to use the secret passage.
Yun Ye returned home at sunset, looking exhausted. This time it was even more outrageous. It was just that he couldn't see the emperor and empress. Why couldn't he even see Li Chengqian? This was the first time he was rejected in the East Palace.
Without taking a shower or eating, Yun Ye lay on the bed with all his clothes on, trying hard to get himself to sleep, but his eyes opened wider and wider, and the entanglement with Li Er appeared in front of him scene by scene. From the first time he met Li Er
Husband and wife, until now, this relationship has turned into a concept similar to chaos. It feels like a big stone is pressing down on my heart, and tears are streaming down my face without even realizing it.
Xin Yue walked in and saw the tears on her husband's face. She didn't comfort her or say anything. She just curled up in her husband's arms. At this time, having a warm body next to her was more useful than saying anything.
.
Yun Ye shed tears for a long time before he fell asleep unknowingly. The third watch drum had just been beaten. He didn't know that the palace was already in chaos at this time, and the guards' armors were everywhere.
There are torches and lanterns everywhere. The Qianniu Guards have all climbed up the palace wall. Countless old eunuchs in purple robes are closely guarding around the Wanmin Palace. Not only that, there are also figures flashing on the top of the Wanmin Palace.
The sound of gold and iron clashing resounded through the Tai Chi Palace. Countless men in black were jumping and tumbling among the crowd. They were agile and fierce. They were covered in blood but fought fiercely. Unfortunately, there were only a few people, so they were driven to the open space. Their bodies were covered with blood.
The Qianniu Guards in bright armor held a huge shield, and the gaps between the shields were densely packed with spears. They slowly pressed towards the man in black with each step.
The leader of the men in black shouted wildly: "Be loyal now!" After shouting, he turned the knife upside down and stabbed it into his waist and ribs without any hesitation, and then fell to the ground. The other men in black
People also follow the same example and die in a matter of seconds...
The gathering drum sounded in the palace. This was the first time for the Zhenguan Dynasty. Countless red-feathered envoys carrying small flags jumped out of the palace and dispersed outside the dark Chang'an City. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature
