Chapter 6: The Gift of Names
Liang Cheng is dressed in ink-colored clothes, kneeling in front of the window, holding Buddhist scriptures in his hand, with long hair splashed with ink, casually holding a white hosta, the hairpin has no trace of patterns, but it is clear and lush, in the thin skylight, glowing with warm and moist brilliance, just like his elegant and delicate side face, two rows of long eyelashes occasionally flutter with the turning pages, leaving a moving silhouette on the jade white face.
At this time, An Xiping opened the bamboo curtain and walked in, leaned in front of Liang Cheng with a sad face, and lamented: "Your Highness, the feeding time has passed now, why hasn't this snow fallen yet?" ”
This day is the third day after praying for snow, An Xiping has been in a panic all day, from time to time to open the curtain to look at the sky, or jump into the courtyard with his hands folded, chanting in the direction of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, Liang Cheng has already said that the snow will not fall until the sun sets, and he is still restless.
Liang Cheng sighed helplessly, put down the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, pushed open the screen window, and looked at the sky. The west wind is getting stronger these days, and although the day is still full of winter sun, at night, the moonlight is often obscured by dark clouds.
At this time, the sun is twilight, the sky is getting thinner, most of the sky has been covered by the clouds blown by the west wind, the twilight is low, and the heaven and earth are gloomy and solemn.
Liang Cheng calculated the time and said with a smile: "It's almost there." ”
As soon as the words fell, he felt the tip of his nose cold, An Xiping suddenly widened his eyes in front of him, looked at the tip of Liang Cheng's nose ecstatically, and shouted: "Your Highness, it's snow!" ”
Liang Cheng was stunned, stretched out his hand and brushed the tip of his nose, and his fingertips suddenly stuck to a small snowflake that had melted more than half, he turned his head to look out, a little bit of crystal fell from the void, more and more floated, fluttering, submerged into the pond, flew into the plum forest, and the world gradually became vast.
It's ahead of schedule......
Does that mean...... In this life, he will have a different ending......
A big stone fell in his heart, and Liang Cheng couldn't help but chuckle.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the ground is soon covered with a thin layer of white, Liang Cheng is physically and mentally comfortable at this time, seeing that Baimei is becoming more and more icy and jade in the snow, he can't help but walk out of the meditation room, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and come to the plum forest.
Bingrui jade branches, staggered horizontally, Liang Cheng gradually went deeper, suddenly heard the ethereal sound of the piano in the distance, Liang Cheng closed his eyes and listened carefully, only to feel that the sound of the piano was chic and casual, quite a Qingshan Yuan did not move, and the floating clouds came and went.
Liang Cheng couldn't help but be attracted by the sound of the piano, brushing flowers and avoiding branches, and came to a courtyard, where there was no living in the book, the font was strict, but it was secretly soft, just like the Buddha, with a compassionate heart, and a thunderbolt method.
Liang Cheng didn't want to disturb the master Yaxing here, so he stood quietly at the door of the courtyard and silently enjoyed the sound of the piano, and suddenly a sound came into his ears, like a wild goose in the sky, with a trace of silence in the distance, without a trace of fireworks in the world.
"Why don't you see it when you're in Hanliao?"
Liang Cheng was slightly stunned, then smiled happily, and said "I'm sorry", before he stretched out his hand, the courtyard door opened without wind, but he saw the monk who met by chance in the plum forest under the moon that day, dressed in moon white, with a leisurely expression, sitting cross-legged under a red plum tree, playing the piano freely, white snow, red plum, fluttering and sprinkling, not like a person in the red dust.
This person seems to be a little different from that day, the cold and noble body is as cold and noble as the first glimpse of the flowers that day, but at this moment he is a little more chic and wanton.
It's even more unbelievable.
The sound of the piano "Zheng" stopped abruptly, and Liang Cheng suddenly came back to his senses.
Realizing that he was stunned by a man, Liang Cheng suddenly felt a little annoyed and ashamed in his heart, he quickly lowered his eyelashes, and saluted: "I have seen the master, it turns out that this is the pure place of the master, and the disciple is disturbed." ”
Yi Nian is a disciple of Wudu Zen Master, and his identity is two generations higher than that of the abbot, Liang Cheng calls himself a "disciple" in front of him, but he can't be more polite.
"Sit," Yi Nian casually pointed to the opposite stone platform, and said, "No need to be restrained." ”
Liang Cheng looked at the stone table and stone platform, at this moment, it was clear that there were snowflakes, and there was no snow in that place, thinking of the sound of the piano that seemed to involve people's hearts, thinking that it was when the master stroked the qin, it was really a rotation, so that the external objects around the body did not invade.
He thanked him, sat on the stone platform, and when he looked closely, Liang Cheng found that the master was a fairy and a bodhisattva, and he couldn't help but admire it more and more.
At this time, as soon as he raised his eyes, Liang Cheng met the pair of abyss-like eyes, only to feel that his soul was about to be sucked in, and two suspicious blushes appeared on his face for a while.
Then, the other party suddenly leaned over, stretched out his hand to stroke Liang Cheng's forehead, a touch of sandalwood and plum fragrance mixed with a faint fragrance wafted into the nose, there was a burst of warmth on the forehead, Liang Cheng looked at Yi Nian's eyes in a daze, and the thought that slipped in his heart was that the master's hand was warm, it turned out that it was not a Nine Heavens Immortal, and the ice and snow were made of bone for muscle jade, and like him, it was also made of flesh and blood.
"What's wrong here?"
The teacher's nice voice was in his ears, and he could still feel a warm exhalation on his cheeks, Liang Cheng felt that his whole person was dizzy, and he couldn't help but show a trace of grievance, "Knocked." ”
"This is condensation incense, newly made, which can be used as an incense and as a muscle-building incense."
I don't know when, a thought has returned to its original sitting posture, Liang Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
How did he ...... Why such a gaffe?!
Liang Cheng's face was crimson, he lowered his head and thanked him, and put the condensation incense into his sleeve, not daring to speak.
Yi Nian didn't seem to notice Liang Cheng's embarrassment, a rare smile on the corner of his mouth, and said gently: "Have you ever had a number?" ”
"No...... I never ......"
A thought hooked his lips, "How is the clear heart?" ”
Liang Cheng was startled, and when he looked up, he saw the master's smile, but this time he quickly gathered his mind, solemnly bowed his head, clasped his hands together, and thanked: "Thank you for the master's gift, the disciple likes it very much." ”
In this way, I missed a thought, and there was a pity on my face.
"The body is like glass, clear inside and out, pure and flawless; The light is vast, the merit is towering, and the body is good and settled. A thought said: "You can make a living for the people, so that the Buddha can fulfill, and you can see the clarity of your heart." ”
"The master is too famous," the corners of Liang Cheng's mouth couldn't help but rise, I don't know if it was for the teacher's commendation or for the teacher's name, "The disciple is just keeping his heart." ”
"Keep your heart, how many people in this world can keep your heart," Yi Nian suddenly sighed: "Recording the common people, most of them can't even see through their own hearts, you are very good, you can come often in the future." ”
Liang Cheng's heart was overjoyed, and his eyes smiled like a moon bend, "That disciple will be more disturbed in the future." ”
……
At the same time, within the walls of the palace, Emperor Ming Yuan closed his eyes and sat in the palace, and he was going to stay at the queen's place tonight, and he was coming out of the manna hall at this time.
Suddenly, an exclamation came not far away, and Emperor Ming Yuan frowned, and heard a voice "It's snowing, it's snowing."
Emperor Ming Yuan was startled, signaled to stop the sedan chair, just stepped down from the imperial chariot, a snowflake fell into his palm, he looked into the distance, snowflakes, like poplar flowers, scattered into the world.
…… It was truly fulfilled.
The same scene is happening in every corner of the Eastern Capital, even those who had doubts about the prince's so-called Buddha's dream before, they can't help but be agitated at this moment.
Daqi worships Buddha, the people are more prosperous, this time it is really snowing in the sky, not only ordinary people, many families are secretly speculating, is the prince really the reincarnation of the Buddha, specially to protect the people of Daqi.
In the Qingning Palace, Empress Li had already prepared the imperial meal, and she asked the Ninth Emperor Prince Liang Ji to come to her and told him to behave well in front of his father.
Liang Ji is nine years old this year, it is the age of jumping out, but he is unexpectedly precocious, calm and calm, methodical, and appropriate, only in front of Liang Cheng, he often shows that children should be playful and lazy, and occasionally does some pranks, but every time as long as he is coquettish, Liang Cheng can't take him.
Empress Li entered the palace for five years, still not pregnant, she took every precaution, only the princess was born in the palace, but she still let Concubine Jiang De take the lead and gave birth to the eldest prince, fortunately in the fifth year, she finally conceived a dragon son, I don't want to give birth to a monster that is not male or female, she is no longer a young girl, she has already recognized that Emperor Qing Yuan married her back then, but for the power of the Li family, better than King Teng to resist, the emperor to her, and there is not much husband and wife affection, while wooing the Li family, on the other hand, and be afraid, if Emperor Ming Yuan knows that she gave birth to a monster, I am afraid that it will be used as a plan, Weaken the power of the Li family.
The emperor is impermanent, in this cannibalistic harem, the biggest reliance is not the emperor's favor, but a strong mother's family, only in this way can he always maintain his honor.
Therefore, she concealed Liang Cheng's physical problems and dealt with all the palace maids and midwives she had come into contact with that day.
She was anxious to have a normal son to consolidate her position, although Liang Chengfu was named the crown prince as soon as he was born, but his body was always a barrier in Empress Li's heart, so before her body was recuperated, she was pregnant with another child, but this time it was a baby girl.
After a series of production, and did not want to be left in power, her body was so corrupted, she could only knock out her teeth and swallow blood, and concentrate on recuperation, until the fifteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, she gave birth to a baby boy who was alive and well, that is, Liang Xun, the ninth emperor.
Originally, there were nine princes, and Empress Li wanted to get rid of Liang Cheng, Bishan Autumn Hunting, and the White Tiger attack, which was her handiwork, and then blamed the second prince, which was killing two birds with one stone, but Liang Cheng's life was big, and he didn't die, and the people she arranged around Liang Cheng also folded in.
The only consolation is probably that Emperor Ming Yuan only found out about the Jiang family, but unfortunately the Jiang family was originally used by Emperor Ming Yuan to check and balance the Li family, so this matter was suppressed by Emperor Ming Yuan, Concubine Jiang De was fined and confined for a year, and several junior children of the Jiang family were demoted and reprimanded, and then the vacated official positions were arranged for their own henchmen.
A prince assassination, in the end, Emperor Ming Yuan became the biggest winner.
And what she did was learned by her brother and was severely reprimanded by Li Duqiu, Li Hou was angry for a while, and revealed the prince's body secret, but Li Duqiu always loved his little nephew, but warned Li Hou not to do anything to the prince again.
Later, she calmed down and felt that it was not impossible to let Liang Cheng continue to live, Liang Ji was still young after all, and before he grew up, he let Liang Cheng become the target of the public, and then the prince and the rest of the princes would lose and lose, and her child, the son of Emperor Ming Yuan, would benefit from the fisherman.
Now, a wishful thinking has been muddyed by the prince, and she has broken many tea cup ornaments in the past two days.
Thinking of this, Empress Li felt bored, and she couldn't help but say to Liang Huan: "At present, your father has not issued an edict to strip your brother of the crown prince, but if it really snows heavily in the past few days, it will be the fulfillment of the Buddha. ”
Liang Ji's face was calm, not like a nine-year-old child, and his voice was still full of childishness: "The queen mother doesn't need to worry, my father is in the prime of spring and autumn, and his mind is unpredictable, but the royal brothers are all older, and my father should have other plans." ”
"My son is smart, it's the queen mother who is too anxious," Empress Li lovingly brushed the forehead on Liang Ji's head, and there was a look of satisfaction in her eyes, this is the blood of her Li family, and she is by no means mediocre!
Liang Ji lowered his eyes and suddenly turned his head, "Queen Mother, Ji'er wants to visit her brother." ”
A trace of disgust flashed in Empress Li's eyes, and she didn't show it in the end, but after thinking about it, let the Nine Emperor Princes and Liang Cheng maintain their brotherly feelings, in the end, it will be beneficial and harmless, and her emperor will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, in case of any natural disasters, Liang Cheng may be able to help one or two, so she said softly: "Your uncle will arrive in Beijing tomorrow, let him take you with him then." ”
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the hall, and Empress Li said unhappily: "What's the noise?" ”
The maid of the first palace bowed down and walked into the hall, kneeling and said, "Niangniang, it's snowing!" His voice was full of excitement and joy.
Empress Li was startled, her eyes flashed with heavy thoughts, and she ordered the palace maid to retreat, turned back to Liang Ji and said: "Go to your brother tomorrow, bring him some clothes for the queen mother, and a string of prayer beads, the queen mother is inconvenient to go out of the palace, you ask him for me, but what is missing, alas, now your brother's family is indispensable, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see in the future." ”
After saying that, Li wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "What's wrong with Cheng'er...... It's so hard! ”
Liang Ji took a step forward, hugged Empress Li's arm, and said in a soft voice: "Don't be sad after the queen mother, your son will be filial to you for your brother." ”
"Good boy ......"
……
On the second day, the holy decree was officially issued, the prince was the protector of the country, the merit of the world, the protector of the country, the monk was given the name of the national teacher, the name of the law was clear, and he entered the unworthy minister, and ascended the palace to give a high seat, which can be seen in the holy grace.
