When Hu Xiaotian heard about this incident, he immediately understood the fake emperor's intentions. Firstly, he wanted to expose himself in front of Abbot Tongyuan, and secondly, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to retaliate against himself and vent the bad breath in his heart.
Before discovering the identity of the old emperor, Hu Xiaotian certainly did not dare to argue with him. Now that he knows that this guy is a fake, of course there is no need to be so polite to him, but thinking about it, there is no need to break up with him in front of the abbot. He said respectfully
: "Your Majesty, I am completely thinking about your Majesty's safety."
"Asshole! Even if an assassin infiltrates, it's because you didn't defend well. What does it have to do with the monks of Tianlong Temple? You searched everywhere and made people panic. You thought I didn't know. You just wanted to divert my attention and shirk your responsibility.
." The false emperor was aggressive, spoke harshly, and his bastard spirit was at an all-time high.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have worshiped Buddha and burned incense for Your Majesty in Riyun Valley, and then been responsible for Your Majesty's meals in Wuguan Hall. As for Your Majesty's personal defense and protection, Liu Huchan and others are responsible for it. If they had not been negligent, Your Majesty would have also
I will not allow you and this group of guards to enter Puxian Yuan."
The fake emperor was shocked. Hu Xiaotian dared not to accept his blame. Did this kid really see his flaw?
Tongyuan was also surprised. Although he was from outside the country, he also knew that there was a difference between the emperor and his ministers. If the emperor asked the ministers to die, the ministers had to die. He had never heard of the emperor scolding his ministers and the ministers dared to retaliate.
This kind of thing was seen by him today.
The fake emperor angrily shouted: "You bastard, do you believe that I will have you dragged out and beheaded right now?"
Master Tongyuan said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down." The pure land of Buddhism cannot kill people casually.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor does not need to lose such a big temper. I am also considering the safety of the emperor. If the emperor wants to kill me, there is no need to go to so much trouble. I will go outside and kill myself now to apologize."
When Tongyuan heard that this kid actually wanted to commit suicide in his own temple, it was not a big deal, so he hurriedly said: "Master Hu, you must not do this!"
When the fake emperor saw the situation in front of him, he knew that he was most likely exposed. If he continued to show the emperor's reputation in front of Hu Xiaotian, he might really fall out with him, and then they would break up and no one would be able to.
It would look good. Thinking of this, he snorted and said, "Did I say you can't?"
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Of course your Majesty can say that you have to die if you ask me to die. I don't want to be disrespectful to your majesty, but I have to say something clearly. It is not a pity for me to die. I just don't want my brothers to follow."
I have been wronged together." When did he become so loyal?
The fake emperor took the opportunity to end it and said: "You go out, remember, you will never act recklessly without my order in the future. If I know that you dare to disturb the monks of Tianlong Temple again, I will definitely take you for granted."
"Yes!" Hu Xiaotian retreated.
Tongyuan felt unbelievable when he saw the scene before him, and made a calculation in his mind. He thought that the monarch and his ministers were most likely making a show in front of him. Tongyuan secretly sighed in his heart that the emperor was hypocritical. Without his order, how could Hu Xiaotian dare to act arbitrarily? Everyone is doing it.
People who understand, why should they put on a show for themselves? After Hu Xiaotian left, he whispered: "Actually, the poor monk also has to bear some responsibility for what happened last night. Thanks to your majesty's care over the years, Tianlong Temple has become what it is today. Your majesty
If something goes wrong in the temple, the poor monk will really be ashamed of the trust he has placed in the court over the years."
The fake emperor said: "I have already said it. What happened last night has nothing to do with Tianlong Temple, so you don't have to blame yourself." He was quite polite to Abbot Tongyuan.
Tongyuan said: "Although the poor monk is a foreigner, he is also a subject of the well-off society. If your Majesty asks the poor monk to do something, he will definitely do his best." The reason why he said this is tantamount to telling him tactfully.
Your Majesty, you don't need to resort to so many tricks. If you have any requests, just say them directly.
The fake emperor nodded and said: "I know that your loyalty is commendable. During the time I came to Tianlong Temple, I have been taken care of by the monks of your temple. I am very grateful. I don't have any other requirements. But Master Tongyuan said this
.I just remembered one thing. In the past, Emperor Taizong personally copied a copy of the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" which is said to be stored in Tianlong Temple. I have long wanted to see the original work of my ancestor with my own eyes. I wonder if Master Tongyuan would be willing to do it for me.
Is this convenient?"
Tongyuan clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty may have had wrong information. The "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" was indeed stored in the Sutra Pavilion of Tianlong Temple at the earliest time. However, an incident that happened three hundred years ago has been revealed since then.
The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra has disappeared. In fact, the Heart Sutra has always been regarded as a treasure by this temple, and all the monks are eagerly hoping that the Heart Sutra can return as soon as possible."
The fake emperor said: "If Master doesn't want to, then forget it."
Tongyuan couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he heard what he said. The Heart Sutra was indeed not in Tianlong Temple, but they didn't know where the old emperor got the news. They also heard that the Heart Sutra was stored in the library of the palace, but Tongyuan didn't have it.
Speaking out these words, Tongyuan said: "Your Majesty, the Heart Sutra is indeed not in the Sutra Pavilion. This poor monk has never told a lie in his life. This is true for ordinary people, let alone your Majesty."
The fake emperor nodded slowly and said: "Since you're not there, forget it." He closed his eyes and made it clear that he no longer wanted to pay attention to Tong Yuan. Tong Yuan also understood the world's ways and stood up to leave.
When Tongyuan came to the door, Hu Xiaotian greeted him: "Master, how is the emperor's mood?"
Tong Yuanxin said that it was you who caused the emperor's bad mood. You saw everything clearly just now, so why bother asking me pretentiously? People in this world are really cunning, and said calmly: "I'm really not good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts.
."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's right, the master is an outsider, how can he pay attention to such small things."
Tongyuan said: "Your Majesty said that he did not let Mr. Hu go to the Sutra Pavilion to search."
Hu Xiaotian took out the imperial edict from his belt, unfolded it and showed it to Tong Yuan: "The imperial pen personally approved it. Although it is not stamped with a jade seal, I dare not imitate the emperor's handwriting."
Tongyuan's eyes glanced at the imperial edict, and he became more and more convinced that the monarch and his ministers were colluding to put on a show for him.
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Master, you don't know how hard we have worked. We have endured hardships and been burdened first. We have to bear all the infamy and sins. There are endless grievances and endless bitterness. Alas! It's okay not to talk about it!"
Tongyuan said softly: "I'll take my leave first!"
Hu Xiaotian watched Tongyuan leave with a smile on his lips. It seemed that Tongyuan must have had great doubts about the purpose of the old emperor's trip. If anything happened to Tianlong Temple in the future, he would definitely be the first to suspect the old emperor.
On the emperor's head.
Yin Zheng's voice came from behind again: "Your Majesty, the Emperor invites you to come in."
Hu Xiaotian nodded, turned around and walked into the Zen room.
The fake emperor looked at Hu Xiaotian secretly and said coldly: "You bastard, aren't you afraid that I will chop off your head?"
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the pure land of Buddhism. It is not appropriate to be too murderous."
"Do you still have me in your eyes?" The fake emperor's voice suddenly became stern.
Hu Xiaotian said without fear: "Wei Chen always puts the emperor first in his heart. Even the imperial edict given to me by the emperor, I studied it over and over again and found that this document is somewhat different from the past.
It’s the same.”
The fake emperor was shocked and glared at Hu Xiaotian, but his eyes were not so firm.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I understand the emperor's difficulties, but does the emperor know about my hard work?" He took a step forward and said with a sly smile: "Your Majesty should understand what I mean."
The fake emperor felt guilty at this time. Hu Xiaotian had obviously seen through his true identity. He whispered: "How dare you be rude to me?"
"It's not me who is rude to the Emperor, but someone else. Your Majesty, why don't you roll up your right sleeve and show me if the birthmark is still there?" Hu Xiaotian was just making nonsense, and he had never served him before.
The old emperor, who knows if the old emperor has a birthmark on his body?
He didn't know, and neither did the fake emperor. He was stunned for a moment.
Hu Xiaotian could tell from the stiff expression on this guy's face that he was definitely not the old emperor himself, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of crime should someone face if he falsely conveys the imperial edict?"
The fake emperor didn't answer him, and secretly screamed that something was wrong. Hu Xiaotian was indeed difficult to deal with, but he didn't know when he found out his identity. Could it be when he asked about Lingxiao Palace in Piaomiao Mountain?
"The crime should be executed!" Hu Xiaotian's murderous voice made the false emperor tremble. He glared at Hu Xiaotian. At this time, he could only use this method to cover up his fear and uneasiness.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I also understand some things. For the sake of the emperor's safety, if the emperor doesn't nod, some people will not dare to do such treacherous things. But if the things here are leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar in the world.
Not only the monks of Tianlong Temple, but even the people of Dakang will feel that they have been deceived, and will turn their anger on the emperor. What will the emperor do then?"
The fake emperor was silent and his eyes began to soften.
Hu Xiaotian said: "In other words, I would definitely kill that bastard who made me lose face and made me laugh at the people. Regardless of whether I promised him at the beginning or whether I sent him out personally, the emperor thinks
right?"
The fake emperor said: "Since you understand everything, why do you need to cause such a big disturbance? What good will it do to you if the matter is exposed? I'm afraid you and your guards will not be able to escape the involvement if the matter is exposed, right?
"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Well said!" He lifted up his monk's robe, revealing the five-color dragon gold medal hanging around his waist. The bright gold dazzled the fake emperor's eyes. Hu Xiaotian patted the gold medal and said, "This is
This gift from the emperor will save me from the death penalty. Do you have such a treasure in your hand? Why don't you show it to me?"
"Well……"
Hu Xiaotian bowed down and put his face close to the fake emperor: "Face is given to each other. You and I both work for the emperor. In front of outsiders, I respect you and give you face, but you have repeatedly opposed me and made it difficult for me."
I am intolerable and intolerable. Believe it or not, if you make me angry, we will be destroyed together."
