The Western Capital is in a stormy Chapter 2: Dragon Royal White Horse
The eldest princess Li Jin was assassinated on the first day she returned to Chang'an, how not to make the emperor angry? didn't have the heart to read the long-winded notes written by the ministers in the imperial study, Li Zhiwu threw the notes aside, took the head of the inner court Fei Yi out of the palace gate, and went straight to the White Horse Temple.
"Who is so bold that you can find out?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that it was a scholar, who was rescued by the master of the White Horse Temple, it stands to reason that this person has been in a coma for several days, and I don't know why he will appear in the hall of the Third Buddha."
Emperor Li Zhiwu stopped and looked at Fei Yi, "Are you excusing this thief?" ”
Fei Yi's body shook and replied, "The old slave doesn't dare!" ”
"Humph! I hurt my precious daughter, I have to kill him! ”
"People can't run, Your Majesty should go and see the eldest princess first, I heard that the eldest princess is frightened, Your Majesty will go over, and the eldest princess will be more stable."
"Let's go, go see Jin'er."
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Fa Ming led a group of monks to kneel on the ground and salute, Li Zhiwu just glanced at Fa Ming, then snorted coldly, and pushed the door and walked in.
Fei Yi turned around and stood at the door, looked at the monk Guan Ming, and said: "The eldest princess of Taiping was assassinated in the White Horse Temple, Your Majesty is furious, and the monks will kneel here to reflect on it. ”
"The Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent, and more than 800 monks in a temple of Lao Gao Dai are grateful for the holy grace of the Son of Heaven."
"Okay, Fa Ming, you said that you didn't care about receiving the eldest princess, let people take advantage of the loophole, this is good, you must pray that the eldest princess is safe and sound, otherwise, hum."
"That's what Grandpa Fei said."
How to not mention it outside the wing room for the time being, Li Zhiwu came in the door, and saw Si Qianru and Gui Mama kneeling on the ground, their faces were ugly to death, they snorted, and said, "Get up, tell me what's going on with Jin'er?" ”
Si Qianru turned around and knelt down, facing Emperor Li Zhiwu, and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor came to diagnose and treat him, and said that it was okay, he prescribed some soothing soup for the princess, and the princess had already taken it, and she was sleeping soundly at this time." ”
"When will I wake up?"
"The doctor said he would wake up at 10 minutes of sunset at the latest."
Li Zhiwu waved his hand, sat on the edge of the bed, just looked at Li Jin lying on the bed, and said softly: "Xiao Jin'er, I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm here, what kind of ghost, ghost, snake god, I will help you block it, whoever dares to bully my daughter, I will cut him with this Son of Heaven sword!" ”
Si Qianru turned her head and gave Mama Gui a look, Mama Gui understood, and the two of them got up secretly and slowly retreated out of the door.
Only Li Zhiwu was left in the room to accompany Li Jin, and the father and daughter spoke softly and listened quietly.
"It's been three years, Jin'er, you've been gone for three years, even if your father is sorry for you, but you are too ruthless, when you go back to Chang'an, you don't go to the palace to see me, and you don't go back to the princess's mansion, but you come to this monk's temple, let me say what you do." Alas, don't say it, I don't say it, I know, you don't like to hear this, I, as the emperor, have already bowed down to apologize to you, how can you forgive me. ”
Li Zhiwu seemed to be talking to himself, and he didn't care if Li Jin could hear it or not, he poured out all the grievances of the past three years, and he didn't dare to say when Li Jin woke up, he wanted to maintain the majesty of the emperor and the stability of his father, who should he tell him about this heart?
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Zhiwu was sitting at the small stone table in the courtyard and drinking tea, when suddenly a figure flew down beside him, and Fei Yi behind him just raised his eyelids, and continued to pretend to be a wooden man quietly.
"How's it going?" Li Zhiwu put down the teacup and asked.
"There is no place to hide in the main hall, and no murder weapons have been found inside and out, and the offering table in front of the Buddha has been overturned, as if it was unconsciously touched, but it is just ......"
"Just what? Say. ”
"Your Majesty, it's just that a pair of eyes of this Buddha Lord are missing, Your Majesty has carefully examined the eyes of the Buddha Master, there should be something inlaid there, not one with the golden body."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Fei Yi, invite Master Fa Ming."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Fei Yi turned around, Li Zhiwu looked at this person and asked, "Is there anything else suspicious?" ”
"It's gone."
"Bastard! Didn't you say you caught an assassin? Why, this person is not suspicious? ”
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has diagnosed and treated, this person, this assassin has a hole in the chest, I don't know what kind of murder weapon wound it is, the person is extremely seriously injured, it is impossible to wake up and it is not good for the princess."
"Then why did he appear in the princess's worship hall? Someone didn't do that on purpose, did they? What is the purpose, you have to check them one by one, you can't do anything well, and I want to teach you how to investigate the case? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty thinks that this matter should end here."
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"Your Majesty, this matter not only involves the White Horse Temple, but even the eldest princess is also involved, the White Horse Temple is the Huguo Temple, and the princess is the pearl of His Majesty's palm, both of which have a decisive weight.
"You mean you don't check it out?"
"You must check it."
"Straight up, what should I do?"
"Secret check!"
Li Zhiwu thought for a while and said, "What about that assassin?" ”
"It's better to ask the eldest princess what she means before dealing with it."
Li Zhiwu nodded, "Go ahead, I'll leave this matter to you." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty will retire."
When Fei Yi came over with Fa Ming, the man in black had already left.
When Fa Ming came to salute, Li Zhiwu held the person and said: "The master doesn't need to be polite, I was worried about Jin'er's injury before, and there was a lot of negligence, so the master should not be responsible." ”
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can there be mistakes? It's all the old man's negligence that caused such a disaster, Your Majesty doesn't blame us, it's already merciful, how can you talk about responsibility? It's a shame on the old man. ”
"Although the master and I are not monarchs and ministers, we are also half-teachers and half-friends, come, I don't have to be polite here, I have a doubt here, I am anxious to wait for the master to solve my doubts."
Li Zhiwu supported Master Fa Ming, and the two sat at the stone table, and Fei Yi added new tea to each of them and stood aside.
Li Zhiwu opened his mouth and asked: "Master, the guards just came to report that in the hall of the three Buddhas, the eyes of the Buddha Lord have disappeared, what is the situation?" Was it dug up, or was it in disrepair and fell somewhere? ”
The Buddha beads in Fa Ming's hand paused, and replied: "Your Majesty, the old man does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, there is a pair of jade dragon double beads in the eyes of the Buddha, which is the relics of the past Buddha and the future Buddha, although the golden body of the Buddha has been repaired several times, only this pair of jade dragon double beads has been in the eyes of the Buddha since the temple was built, and today the old man has not paid attention to the assassination of the princess, if it is really gone, but it is also a good thing." ”
"What's the explanation?"
"This pair of Kodama Dragon Double Beads is quite spiritual by the Buddha's master, and it cannot be obtained by its owner, even if others get it, it will inevitably cause disaster."
"When the master said this, didn't he say that this jade bead ran away on its own because its owner appeared?"
"It's ridiculous, but it's true."
"Thank you, Master, for your doubts."
As soon as Master Fa Ming left, Li Zhiwu had a seizure, he slapped the table fiercely, and said: "This bald donkey bullying the king is so high-sounding, what kind of jade dragon double pearl, baby-like thing, and he still recognizes the master and runs away?" What a ridiculous thing! ”
"Since Your Majesty doesn't believe Fa Ming's words, why did you let him go?"
"It's not to worship my godson, persuade me not to startle the snake, they are secretly investigating Jin'er's assassination."
"It's a secret investigation, whether you have checked it, how to check it, there is a set of rhetoric, if Your Majesty turns around and asks, they will also answer correctly."
"Huh?" Li Zhiwu's heart moved when he heard Fei Yi's words, and then pressed the thoughts in his heart and said, "Didn't you say that at sunset, my Jin'er will wake up?" Why hasn't there been any movement for so long? Come with me and take a look. ”
The imperial doctor is really skilled, saying that it is sunset, it is not bad at all, after Li Zhiwu entered the wing, the eldest princess Li Jinzheng opened her small mouth, presumably she had woken up.
"Don't move, I'll feed you water."
"Father?"
"It's me."
"Is this the Imperial Palace?"
"It's still in the White Horse Temple, don't worry, I'll protect you."
"Buddha statue! Father, take me to the Great Hall of the Third Buddha! ”
Li Zhiwu watched Li Jin kicking the quilt in a hurry, quickly picked up the quilt covering her, put it aside, and asked, "Jin'er, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”
Li Jin was anxious and said: "The reason why my daughter is in a coma is because I saw some light in an instant, there must be some magical place in that hall, father, take me quickly." ”
Li Zhiwu's eyes lit up, can he see the light? That's a good thing! Since the death of the first queen five years ago, Li Jin has been completely unable to see things, originally just can't see clearly, and can vaguely see the figure shaking, that time, she cried for half a month, and Chang'an also followed the heavy rain for half a month, as if her tears gathered into rain and fell on Chang'an, this time, the people of Chang'an completely knew the grief of the eldest princess, and it was also at that time that Li Jin was completely blind to cry.
In the second year, Li Jincai was officially canonized as the eldest princess of Taiping, and had been called the eldest princess for more than ten years, but this name is not in line with the etiquette law, the emperor's sister, or the queen's concubine is eligible to be named the eldest princess, Li Jin is from Concubine Yang, but because of Li Zhiwu's love is called the eldest princess, and she is not really canonized, just because the ministers are against it, even so, she is also the first princess to be named Princess Taiping just after birth, which shows the degree of favor.
A year after the death of the queen, the ministers publicly recommended the virtuous and virtuous Concubine Yang as the queen, Li Zhiwu obeyed the proposal of the ministers and straightened Concubine Yang, and Li Jin naturally canonized the eldest princess, and the ministers could not say anything that was not in line with the law.
Now that I heard that Li Jin saw a glimmer of light, how could it not make people excited? Li Zhiwu hurriedly hugged Li Jin out of bed and said to Fei Yi: "Go, let someone guard it, I and Jin'er will arrive later." ”
"Yes."
"Let's call Mama Gui in, it's very tiring to be held like this by my daughter."
"I haven't helped you for a long time, let me accompany you, can I meet this request of my father?"
"The father is always the father of the daughter, even if the daughter resents you and hates you, she can't give up this father-daughter relationship."
"Jin'er can think like this, I am really comforted, let's go, I will accompany you to have a look."
