140 140: Covering Hands for Rain (3)
In the meditation room of Lingyin Temple, Li Chen sat on the desk in it, holding a brush in his hand, and was transcribing the scriptures stroke by stroke. arrive
Probably because Princess Yongchang is lawless, and now she has become the eldest princess, and the same is true. Since the death of the first emperor, she often goes in and out of Lingyin Temple, and every time she goes, she is dressed in white clothes.
In the past, in order to show her identity, she would wear purple men's clothes. Later, the first emperor died, she was all dressed in white men's clothes, handsome and innocent Langjun image, a noble body, but she was taller than ordinary women, if you don't look at it in detail, it is really male and female.
Master Wuyun approached the meditation room slowly, clasped his hands outside the door, and said to Li Chen: "The princess coming to Lingyin Temple is really to make Lingyin Temple shine, if the princess comes in next time, don't let the female pilgrims see it, then it will be better." ”
Li Chen, who was copying the scriptures, didn't raise his head, "They are willing to put a few more pillars of incense in Lingyin Temple and contribute more sesame oil money, but the master is not happy?" ”
Wuyun had a bitter face, "The Buddha Gate is pure, if good men and women come here to make incense and make wishes, it is naturally okay, but if the female pilgrims are inquiring about Xiao Langjun's news, it will not be good." ”
At this time, the folk customs are more open than before, and it is normal for the little ladies to see their favorite Xiao Langjun and inquire in private. Princess Yongchang has a good appearance again, it is a good appearance for men and women, and there is no fat powder in men's clothes, but it is also faintly heroic, sultry and invisible, and the pretty little ladies like it very much at first sight. Therefore, they all privately asked the little novice princess who was guarding the door who was the little Langjun, and the little novice smiled and took the reward money given by the female pilgrims and said that the monk didn't know, but Master Wuyun was worried every day that the little novices of Lingyin Temple would be moved one day, and all of them would go to return to the vulgar.
Li Chen smiled slightly, copied the last word of the scriptures, and then put down the brush and walked out to sit with Master Wuyun in the meditation room on the other side.
The master himself brewed a pot of tea from the broken teapot of Lingyin Temple, and then sat opposite the princess. He didn't know where to conjure up a letter, he put it on the desk, and then pushed it forward to Li Chen, "This is the letter sent back to the princess by General Li, the British duke." ”
Li Chen was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on the letter.
Master Wuyun has great ambitions, and he used to just think about it, but since he followed Princess Yongchang, the master has become more and more aware of what it means to have money to make ghosts grind. Although Princess Yongchang can't be said to be rich enough to rival the country, if her family background is really taken out, it will be able to make the imperial court count for several months. In addition, the princess's Buxian Garden launches a limited number of new teas every year, and dignitaries compete to buy it, which is very valuable.
The master who follows is rich, and the people under him are naturally doing well. The princess spent a lot of money and secretly gave the master a lot of tickets so that he could do things conveniently. And after the death of the first emperor, there seem to be a lot of people like Shu Ye's brothers and sisters under the princess for sending, those people are usually not sharp, and they are probably inconspicuous when they walk on the road, but they are all capable, and the master thinks that if the princess suddenly wants to take this team of people up the mountain to be bandits one day, she may really be able to cause trouble.
Master Wuyun is a fake monk, born in the world, just to be appreciated, can he do something to show his presence? In the past, when the master followed the princess, he was indeed loyal, but now he is dead.
He can't do it if he doesn't want to give up, he's afraid that one day he will make a slight move, and before he can react, he will be moved by the princess's secret guards for his head.
Wuyun: "General Li went well in the frontier, after he and General Pei arrived at the frontier, he fought with Tubo twice, both times were victories, and the defeat of Tubo was just around the corner. ”
Li Chen picked up the letter and opened it, looking at ten lines at a glance.
Li Jingye's letter did not say anything special, but said that the first emperor died, and Princess Wanwang took care of her health. Then he seemed to want to make Li Chen happy, at the end of the letter wrote some local customs and customs on the border, because the border is the junction of the two countries, there are often people who hunt wild food, so there are often bandits infested, General Li ingenuity, usually when he is not fighting, he takes his men to fight bandits, cultivate his combat experience, and then General Li also lists some strange things seized from the bandits at the back of the letter, saying that if the princess likes it, next time she can let the people of Lingyin Temple bring it back to Chang'an.
Obviously, the first emperor died and the new emperor ascended the throne. Based on General Li Jingye's understanding of the princess, he thought that the princess would not do anything to the new emperor at such a time, so he was very willing to put aside the speculation and conversation in Buxian Garden that day, because it was too disturbing.
However, Li Jingye did not say a word about Cheng Wuting's trip to the frontier.
Li Chen put the letter away, and probably had some score in his heart.
Cheng Wuting is his mother's person, and he has a very close relationship with Pei Xingjian, otherwise his mother would not be at ease to let him go to the frontier. Cheng Wu has reached the frontier, he and Li Jingye are in-laws, I am afraid that Li Jingye knows everything about Chang'an now, but he didn't say anything.
Li Chen thought that to this day, Li Jingye still didn't regard her as an object to talk about these things.
That is to say, even if General Li now knows that the imperial court is turbulent and the queen mother is ambitious, he has no intention of responding to the question that Li Chen threw out in Buxian Garden.
In fact, there is no need to respond, the death of the father is inevitable, and the mother's ascension is inevitable.
No matter what Li Jingye's thoughts are, no matter what he decides so far, it will definitely not affect his career and future prosperity. Because Cheng Wuting went to the frontier to buy Pei Xingjian for his mother, and Li Jingye, a young man who was born after him, would join the army in the frontier in the short term to eat sand and fight Tubo and fight bandits part-time, even if his uncle Li Siwen is now a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he is already in the camp of the new emperor and is really preparing to fight with the Queen Mother and the Minister Pei Yan, it will not affect his head.
In the imperial court, in addition to standing in line for profit, there should also be some people who are really willing to ask for the people's lives, and there should also be some people who are really willing to fight on the battlefield and stabilize the country.
Wuyun secretly looked at Li Chen's expression, and saw that she was very calm, and she didn't see the slightest hint of wind and grass, and was a little surprised in her heart.
He was secretly shocked, but he didn't ask.
The monk stared at the cup of tea with white smoke in front of the desk and said, "Princess, there is an abnormality in the Zhou Guogong Mansion. ”
Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at Master Wuyun, "Is it because the position of the original Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites should have been Wu Chenghei's, but the matter that Li Siwen was promoted by today's sage?" "Zhou Guogong is Wu Chenghei.
Master Wuyun: "The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was already in the bag for Zhou Guogong, but now that Li Siwen was killed halfway, he was naturally angry in his heart. ”
When Li Chen heard this, he sneered: "There are many things he doesn't resent about, but he just relies on my mother's power to show off his power and form a party for personal gain." ”
Wuyun: "He has been in and out of Zhongshu Ling Pei Yan's mansion recently, probably for the Queen Mother. ”
Wu Chengsi hadn't come out for a long time, and even when his father was seriously ill, he was still quite peaceful. And because of his improper discipline of the children in the clan before, when his mother wanted to arrange benefits for him several times, he was pushed back by Song Jing's mallet.
Now that my father has died, my mother has done a lot of things before the new emperor officially ascended the throne, winning the hearts of the people to buy ministers, and almost emptying the power of the new emperor.
Li Chen picked up the cup of warm tea on the desk and took a sip without speaking.
Master Wuyun continued: "The sage did not want to appease the clan, but promoted his relatives, this move not only did not win the hearts of the clan, but also made Pei Yan dissatisfied with today's Zhongshu, within half a month, several prime ministers under the Zhongshu Province have met in Pei Xianggong's mansion three times, and the monk believes that the situation between the DPRK and China must change in the near future. ”
Li Chen lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup on the desk for a long time, and suddenly asked without a horse's mouth: "What's the movement over there in Bazhou?" ”
"As the princess expected, after the news of Erlang's madness came back to Chang'an, the Queen Mother secretly sent Qiu Shenji, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, to Bazhou. Master Wuyun said, with a rare smile on his face, "But later, General Qiu was chased and cut by Erlang with a sword all over the courtyard, and almost the crown of his hair was cut off, so I had to believe that Erlang was really crazy." ”
When Li Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc, and he smiled very sarcastically, "These people, don't they know that in the world of madmen, he is the biggest?" Why didn't my second brother hack him to death at that time? ”
For a person like Qiu Shenji, Li Chen wished that he would die as soon as possible, and if Li Xian killed him with a sword, it would be even better. It's a pity that he still left him with a dog's life to come back to Chang'an to continue to be powerful.
Master Wuyun was choked by the princess's straightforwardness, and then turned the wooden bead in his hand, "Amitabha." ”
Li Chen glanced at the master with some scare, and was about to say something, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark figure walking from outside, and there was a small novice in front of him.
Song Jing?
Didn't he go to the Imperial Observatory early in the morning today to discuss matters? Why did you get here?
Master Wuyun also looked out at this time, and saw Zhilan Yushu's horse with his hands behind his back, pacing into the courtyard in all directions unhurriedly, looking very casual, as if he had made a special trip to Lingyin Temple for a walk.
The master's eyebrows raised slightly, and his gaze fell on the princess, who looked a little stunned.
The princess quickly put away her surprise, and cursed secretly in her heart, Song Jing's mallet has really become more and more elusive recently, and she doesn't know what he is thinking.
At the moment when the princess and the master were slightly distracted, Xiao Shami had already rushed up and said to Master Wuyun very respectfully, "Abbot, the colt is here. ”
Master Wuyun said "um", sent Xiao Shami to get busy, and got up to greet Song Jing.
The horse is as cold as ice and snow in the face of the powerful in the court, but he treats the people and these born people like the warm sun of spring, warm but not scorching, which makes people have an unstoppable good impression of him.
When he saw Wuyun coming, the smile on his face was very warm, and he took a step ahead of the master and said, "The master doesn't need to be polite, Jing is here to pick up the princess and return to the house." ”
The colt's words were addressed to the master, and his eyes were indeed on the princess. Usually when the princess wears men's clothes to Lingyin Temple, it is usually the concubine who has already gone to the Yushitai office, and when he returns home, the princess has already gone back to change out of men's clothes, so in fact, the princess has seen the princess in men's clothing very few times, so now that he sees it, his eyes are bright, and he can hardly take his eyes off it.
