Wuhou stood outside the temple door, knocked on the door and shouted loudly: "Lao Xiao, are you in there or not?"
Xiao Gui, Zhang Xiaojing and Dai Wang each stood guard by the door with weapons, and asked Lao Xiao, who was guarding the temple, to go out to contact them. The two chatted for a while, but Wu Hou didn't seem to notice anything unusual, so he turned and left the temple gate.
Wu Hou took two quick steps and ran back, and whispered excitedly: "Shangguan, you are right, there is someone else in Lao Xiao's temple, I will go and notify the Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets."
Li Siye crossed his arms and nodded, leaning against the corner and waiting, squinting at the dark night sky.
Not long after, Wu Hou led his soldiers to the outside of the Buddhist temple. He saw the courtyard door wide open and immediately rushed inside to fight with Xiao Gui and others. Unexpectedly, there was a loud noise in the courtyard, flames began to rise, and at the same time, swords and swords were fired.
The sound of hitting each other was loud.
If he rushes over at this time, he may get unexpected gains and rescue the saint from their hands. Of course, this is not his main goal. The person behind the plan has not yet been revealed, and the other party will definitely not be able to bear it.
Jump out. He has to know who this person is.
The fighting in the ruined temple has ended. It seems that the few people summoned by Marquis Wu have been wiped out. They will definitely move the emperor away.
But after waiting for a while, Zhang Xiaojing and others ran out of the temple and began to retreat separately, but the saint was not among them.
"what happened?"
They moved forward in two directions. Dai Wang stood at the base of the wall and stayed for a moment. Xiao Gui at the front turned around and shouted: "Dai Wang, follow us!"
After they disappeared at the entrance of the street, Li Siye quickly walked to the place where Dai Wang stayed, squatted down and took out the fire stick, pulled out the cap and blew it gently. The light gradually dimmed, and he could clearly see the writing on the wall.
"The emperor ran away? He ran to Pingkangfang?"
It was easier for Li Siye to move in the light. He ran out of the gate of Shengyefang and quickly headed towards Pingkangfang.
When he arrived at Pingkangfang, he saw a group of people looking for the pig thief, and Li Siye followed them quietly into the houses deep in the street.
He stood sideways next to the pig pen, standing on tiptoes and looking inside the wall. A black pig was lying inside, sleeping happily, and there was no sign that anyone had been there.
There was a carriage rolling by not far away. Li Siye quickly moved to the wall and saw the people in several shacks greeting them. He shouted, "Mr. Zhu is back!" The carriage stopped in front of a wooden house.
The couple on the bus led their children out of the car, and an old man emerged from the carport. He stood on the shaft of the car facing the wind, looking at everything around him with strange and novel eyes.
The only person who can have such an expression is an emperor who is indifferent to all aspects of his body and food. He looks so embarrassed that no one can believe that he is the emperor.
Li Siye walked around the back of the house and stood in front of the window to hear the voices of people inside. It turned out that this street was an unapproachable slum in Pingkangfang near Beiqu. The people living in the shanties were all poor children and disabled or lonely people.
Mr. Zhu is an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he kindly helps the elderly and children here.
He stood outside and smiled. The old emperor didn't see the suffering of the people. He thought that his family in the prosperous Tang Dynasty had pigs, chickens and white rice for every meal. Let him experience life here.
It's a kind of re-education.
He meditated against the wall panel and listened to the sounds coming from inside. A child named Zhu Xuan took the zodiac wandering instrument from a Sogdian. The emperor recognized the object and asked the child what it was.
"This is the Zodiac Parade. In the ninth year of the lunar calendar, Liang Lingzhan joined the army and taught himself astronomy and mathematics. He spent all his spare time building it. At first, he just made a wooden model. When the sage found out about it, he praised it greatly. The sage then ordered a group of masters and Liang Lingzan to make it together.
It was changed to copper.
The child was extremely intelligent. He told these past events clearly and eloquently, which aroused the laughter of approval from the two adults in the family. The emperor took over and said: "Use it to measure the angle of the twenty constellations from the extreme north of the celestial sphere...
…”
Li Siye muttered in a low voice outside: "Why are you talking about astronomy again?"
Maybe the emperor felt the simplicity and kindness of these people, maybe he thought he knew the truth - this was just under the emperor's feet, and it was far from the truth. The lives of the people outside Chang'an were even more difficult. He actually started to seal the
The official made a wish to support all the poor people on this street, and also made Zhuci a minister of household affairs, and asked his son to study in Hongwen Hall.
It's not impossible at the moment. It's not a big deal for the emperor to support a street person and promote someone to be the Minister of Household Affairs. It all depends on whether they can survive the emperor's disaster.
Let Kunpeng see the result of the ant's life. Either Kunpeng's wings were broken, or the ant was crushed to death by it.
The two men inside did not laugh, but were silent for a short time. It seemed that they had recognized the emperor's true identity.
Li Siye decided to get into the bottom of the carriage in advance to prevent them from entering the palace rashly. However, he could not appear in front of the emperor. The thoughts of the ancients were most difficult to guess, especially the aloof emperor. People who saw a phoenix falling into the dust would not necessarily die.
, but it will definitely not bring any good results, and it will not fit in with his future development plan.
This may be the reason why An Lushan used Dai Wang to encourage him to come to Chang'an. Wouldn't it be a great achievement for him to come to the rescue himself? How could this fat Hu man be so kind as to take advantage of himself? Just imagine, a man who sees the emperor in such a state of desolation
How could people in the dirt be reused, and how could they meet in the court in the future? In the past, Yan Ziling avoided the light of Emperor Liu Xiu. Wasn't it because of this consideration?
Zhu Ci's family and the saint were sitting in the car, and they seemed very restrained. The driver was pulling the car in front, and felt that the horse was moving slower, so he couldn't help but muttered: "Why is this car so heavy today?"
Zhu Ci sat cross-legged on the wall and said, "Our car cannot enter the Daming Palace."
The emperor spoke up: "Others need fish bags to enter the palace, but I don't. I can get in with my face, hahaha."
"You can't enter the Daming Palace." A pinched voice came from the bottom of the car.
Li Longji raised his head, looked around, and asked loudly and vigilantly: "Who? Who is outside? Don't be sneaky!"
"I am Beidou Navigation."
"Bei, what's wrong? He's a man and stands up to talk to me. Where are you hiding? What are your intentions?"
"A saint does not need to know who I am. A saint lives in the ninth heaven. Do the soldiers on duty outside the Daming Palace also know your face? The saint has heard that the white dragon fish is in danger of falling into the abyss. If you fall into the mortal world, you will be different from ordinary people.
How can there be any safety at all?"
The emperor was unexpectedly not angry, but opened his eyes in confusion and asked: "In the opinion of the hero of the north, where should I go?"
"Turn ahead and go to the Yang Mansion in Xinghuafang. You should know the road. There is the mansion you gave to the Yang sisters. The best way is to let someone who can enter the Daming Palace take you into the palace."
"Where have I been? Since they were granted residence in Chang'an last year, they have often entered the palace, but I have never left the palace to see them."
Zhu Ci hesitated for a moment and began to admonish the emperor. He told the emperor that nearly half of the more than 10,000 officials in Chang'an City were paid, the organization was bloated, they did not do practical things, and the local officials exploited the people. This Zhu Ci is really a good official, but it is a pity.
His words of advice will have no effect.
A group of thieves were standing in the distance, they had already taken out their murder weapons and were preparing to intercept them, but unexpectedly the carriage turned a corner at the entrance of the alley.
The group of people were surprised and confused and said: "What's going on? Aren't they going to enter the palace? Why did they turn in the direction of Wubenfang? Are they going to enter the imperial city?"
As soon as the carriage reached the side street of Wubenfang, a large number of soldiers rushed towards it. Li Siye shouted loudly from the bottom of the carriage: "Turn around!"
Just as the coachman was about to pull the horse's head across, Li Longji got out of the carriage, raised his nose and said with a heroic voice: "No need to turn around, these are my soldiers, I am the saint of the Tang Dynasty!"
