The reason why Wang Xian finally agreed to the prince's participation in the Dharma Assembly was that early this morning, Xue Huan led the escort and arrived in Yuncheng by boat. Early in the morning, Wang Xian ordered Xue Huan to lead his troops to disembark and stand by several miles away from the county seat.
So when the Buddha's mother invited the prince to come in, Wang Xian did not act rashly, but ordered Zhou Yong to quickly mobilize his troops!
The prince, Wang Xian and others, escorted by the army, returned to the ship half an hour later and hurriedly sent the imperial physician Wang Xian for diagnosis and treatment.
"Your Highness, I am indeed fine." Wang Xian smiled sheepishly, stretched out his hand and pulled open his outer robe, revealing a piece of soft armor underneath. He then opened the soft armor, and there was also a close-fitting treasured armor inside... This guy knows
I am a desperado, so I have always been unambiguous in my work to save my life.
"That's great..." The prince breathed a sigh of relief, "But let's take a look and see if you can rest assured."
Wang Xian couldn't resist the prince, so he had to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him. After a lot of inspection and examination, he also tried a lot of pushing and activating the blood. When all the trouble was over, it was already dark.
Wang Xiangang felt a little hungry, so Ling Xiao came in with a bowl of hot white porridge and offered to feed him with a smile.
How dare Wang Xian let this little aunt take care of her? It was no better than being tortured... But Ling Xiao got excited and ignored his repeated protests. He wrapped Wang Xian's hands tightly in the quilt, leaving only his head exposed.
Outside, Wang Xian watched with horror as Ling Xiao scooped up a spoonful of gruel and brought it to his mouth...
Wang Xian quickly shut his mouth tightly.
"Be good, open your mouth..." Ling Xiao persuaded with a smile, but Wang Xian still gritted his teeth.
"I told you to open your mouth!" Ling Xiao tried to persuade him several times, but Wang Xian remained indifferent. The little girl rolled her eyes and reached out to brush his ribs. This time she gained some inner strength, and Wang Xian felt a huge itch.
I couldn't help but open my mouth and laugh.
Ling Xiao took the opportunity and quickly put a spoonful of gruel into Wang Xian's mouth.
Wang Xian's smile stopped suddenly, and he felt that there was a piece of red coal in his throat! His face suddenly changed, and he spurted out. Lingxiao couldn't avoid it, and white porridge was sprayed on his face and hair!
At this moment, the door opened. Deng Xiaoxian looked in, but did not see Wang Xian. He first saw the white puddle on Ling Xiao's face, and was startled. "I didn't see anything!" He hurried out.
Shut the door with a bang.
"Damn it! You killed me!" Deng Xiaoxian glared at Zhou Yong at the door, gritted his teeth and said, "You will kill me to silence me!"
"Ah?" Monk Zhou Yongzhang was confused.
"Get the hell in!" Wang Xian's voice came from the back room. Deng Xiaoxian scratched his head, opened the door slowly, and went in again.
As soon as he entered, he saw Wang Xian pouring cold water and complaining to Lingxiao: "I knew something was wrong! You are going to burn me to death!"
"I was in a hurry, so I brought the porridge over as soon as it started..." Ling Xiao explained with a smile while wiping his face with a handkerchief.
"Hi..." Deng Xiaoxian saw that he had lost his mind and scratched his head with a silly smile.
"You're so ridiculous!" Wang Xian rolled his eyes at him, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and said angrily: "Did you catch someone?"
"No, those White Lotus cultists have no marks on their bodies. They can't be caught among the common people." Deng Xiaoxian shook his head. He came back to resume his life. It turned out that as soon as Wang Xian and the prince left, they ordered the arrest of the White Lotus cultists, but this order was not given at all.
The law was enforced... There were more than 100,000 ordinary people, and we couldn't arrest them all. We could only arrest some who were not pleasing to our eyes. When we came back for an interrogation, they all said they were ordinary people who came to join in the fun. When asked what their names were, and where they lived, they were all from the local area.
Man, I can't find the problem...
"Trash." Wang Xian actually knew the result in his mind, but now he couldn't express his emotions or anger, and his thoughts were completely unpredictable: "If you can't find out, don't leave."
"Ah..." Deng Xiaoxian was dumbfounded for a while, and then listened to Wang Xian's instructions: "You take people to stay, while tracking the whereabouts of the Buddha Mother, while secretly investigating the situation of the White Lotus Sect." Deng Xiaoxian finally understood that it turns out that the master has a mission.
Leave it to yourself.
Wang Xian gave him a few more instructions, then the door opened and the prince walked in.
Deng Xiaoxian hurriedly stood up and left. The prince sat next to Wang Xian and asked softly: "How do you feel?"
"No problem." Wang Xian smiled and made some gestures to prove his words. However, he accidentally pulled his back and felt a sharp pain.
Seeing him like this, the prince was filled with guilt and sighed: "It's all my fault that I am too willful to cause such a dangerous incident."
"Your Highness is implicated," Wang Xian shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Didn't you hear that? The devil has a grudge against me."
"Do you know each other?" the prince asked softly.
"I don't know..." In Wang Xian's mind, there was a vague figure, but he would never say it until he was sure... I'm afraid even if he was sure, he still wouldn't say it. He laughed at himself and said: "
I have so many enemies, some of whom I don’t even know.”
"The identity of this Buddha Mother must be found out." The prince said solemnly.
Wang Xian nodded and said with deep understanding: "She is very likely to cause a big chaos."
"Yes..." The prince sighed deeply and said, "For most of the day, my mind has been filled with images from the Dharma gathering. The scene of so many people going crazy and crazy is really chilling."
"Yes." Wang Xian responded softly. To be honest, he was really shocked.
"You said..." The two were silent for a moment, and then the prince said quietly: "What do they mean by those words they chanted together?" Then he recited softly: "The mud comes from the beginning of chaos, and the white lotus appears and flourishes!
When the golden rooster sings, fire from heaven descends! When fire from heaven descends, the devil's palace is burned!"
"When the devil's palace burns, the white lotus blooms. When the white lotus opens, the Holy Mother comes! When the Holy Mother comes, the devil is destroyed! When the devil is destroyed, the world is prosperous!" Wang Xian recited.
"That's right." The prince nodded and said softly: "These few magical words hit my ears and I can't go away."
"It's not surprising that these cults like to make some weird prophecies." Wang Xian comforted him softly.
"No," the prince shook his head and said solemnly, "I feel there is some meaning here... Do you still remember what the Buddha Mother said, those who know know themselves, and those who don't know will know when the time comes." He looked at Wang Xiandao.
: "When... exactly will it be?"
"The mud comes from the beginning of chaos, and the white lotus appears and brings prosperity to the world." Wang Xian repeated slowly: "When the golden rooster sings, the fire from heaven falls! When the heavenly fire descends, the devil's palace is burned!" After speaking, he pondered for a while and said: "When the golden rooster sings, it refers to the
Morning, right?"
"Maybe..." The prince nodded doubtfully: "Then what are they going to do?"
"It seems that they want to burn down the emperor's house..." Wang Xian said softly: "In the eyes of Demon White Lotus, the people in the court are all demons. The emperor is naturally the demon king, and the palace he lives in is the demon palace."
"It is possible to compare the emperor to the devil and the palace to the devil's palace." The prince said, but he became more and more disbelieving: "However, the palace is so heavily guarded and guarded by thousands of imperial guards. The White Lotus demon has no idea.
No chance of arson."
"I hope I'm wrong..." Wang Xian said with a wry smile: "Let's stop guessing and wait until they get more information."
"That's all." The prince could only nod...
After the shock in Yuncheng, the group did not stop for the rest of the journey and arrived in Tongzhou at the end of September. Further north from Tongzhou, there is the Tonghui River that can lead directly to the capital, which is half a day's waterway. However, according to the emperor's decree, the prince
He had to stay in Tongzhou for more than ten days and had to wait until the sixth day of October to enter Beijing.
"Why aren't we allowed in when we arrive at the gate of the capital?" Ling Xiao was very puzzled and asked Wang Xian privately.
"The sixth day of October is an auspicious day for Qin Tian to watch." Wang Xian ate grapes boredly and lay on the recliner. After this period of recuperation, he has recovered as before, but his laziness is still incurable and he is still in pain.
Under the guise of recovering from illness, he sabotaged his work as much as he wanted. "Besides, the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, has to prepare for the ceremony, which will take time."
"Grrrrrrrr, what's wrong with Grandpa Emperor?" Lingxiao peeled off a grape with her slender fingers and brought it to Wang Xian's mouth. She even naughtily touched his lips with her fingers. "Why are you so polite to your own son?
.”
The little goblin didn't know how ecstatic he was just now. Wang Xian swallowed helplessly and swallowed a grape directly, almost choking him to death. He rolled his eyes and said: "You are the emperor?"
Are you so kind? This is putting His Royal Highness on the fire!"
"What do you mean?" Lingxiao didn't understand these twists and turns, and asked in confusion: "Can you explain it clearly?"
"The matter of moving the capital has become a hot topic. At this juncture, His Highness the Crown Prince has come to Beijing in response to the imperial edict, which is particularly arousing to people's imagination." Wang Xian smiled and said: "From His Highness's standpoint, of course, the lower profile the better, and it is best for anyone to do so.
He didn’t come to greet you.” He sighed and said, “But the Emperor has made it clear that he will use the most solemn ceremony to show that the Crown Prince has moved to Beijing! In the eyes of the world, doesn’t this mean that His Highness the Crown Prince has agreed to move the capital?
"
"That's it!" Lingxiao nodded her head. Although she still seemed to understand, it didn't affect her understanding. She looked at Wang Xiandao with admiration and said: "Xiao Xianzi, you are so awesome!" As a reward, she wanted to feed Wang Xianda again.
Xian eats grapes.
"Don't come!" Wang Xian was determined not to dare anymore. If others feed him, he will only die if he feeds him. This girl feeds her and she doesn't even know how she died...
In the blink of an eye, on the sixth day of October, before dawn, the officials of Shuntian Prefecture protected the Datong River Pier outside Chongwen Gate in the capital. They also sent people to clean it up and spread out red carpets. As soon as Mao hour passed, the forbidden troops from the three battalions came
They came in formation with neat steps, and around the pier, there were majestic formations on both sides of the red carpet. Under the golden sun, the mighty Imperial Guards and soldiers were in bright uniforms and neatly lined up, and the majesty of a great country came naturally!
At Chen time, when Taisun, King Zhao, and the ministers in Beijing arrived at the dock, a group of officials and musicians from the Jiaofang Department of Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites were also in place.
Although they were mentally prepared, the princes were still startled by this posture. Some people couldn't help but whisper: "It's just to welcome His Majesty, but that's it..."
"What do you know?" Some knowledgeable people nearby immediately added: "This is a full set of gifts to welcome the crown prince, and it is still different from welcoming the emperor." Seeing that King Zhao was also listening, the man hurriedly smiled and said: "What do you mean?
Right, Your Highness?"
"Haha," King Zhao laughed and said with a smile, "I can't tell."
