Chapter 24 The mud boat crosses the sea and recites Rokko 16
.
The high priest was also very human, angry and angry, but soon came to his senses. Thinking that Li Bai was still alive and did not die in the samadhi fire two years ago, I was both puzzled and surprised in my heart. Thinking about the battle a few months ago, and the two dragons and two phoenixes, the high priest was stunned, his eyes were frightened, and he said in his heart, "If I hadn't used magic to protect the vital veins of my life, I'm afraid it would be more than just being crippled." ’
When he thought that he was not Li Bai's opponent, the high priest gave birth to this trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, and wanted to borrow the hands of the people to punish Li Bai. After making sure that Zheng Bucheng succeeded in instigating the people, the high priest quietly sneaked to the Buddha Palace and laid out a powerful formation, whether it was an immortal or a god or a demon or a ghost, as long as he entered the Buddha Palace formation, there would inevitably be only a dead end.
The high priest's trick can indeed be called perfect, and it is accurate that Li Bai will not harm the people, and that Li Bai will not have any suspicions. This method can be said to recognize its weaknesses to attack it, fast and accurate, a fatal move to see the difference, do not leave any room for killing.
But unexpectedly, after all, it was still difficult to escape the secrets, and the high priest never expected that he would be defeated in the use of people. Zheng Bucheng, judging from the name alone, I know that this person is unreliable, he was originally a Turkic person, because he likes Tang culture, he found a fortune teller and begged each other, and gave himself this well-known peerless name, Zheng Bucheng, it can't be done.
Zheng Bucheng looks very arrogant and fierce on the surface, but in fact, he is strong on the outside and strong in the middle, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and cowardly; This, perhaps, is why the fortune teller gave him this name. Although Zheng Bucheng's family has a lot of money, no matter what he does, he has no success, and now he has lost his family to the point that there is very little left. No, today I brought someone to say that I was going to make trouble in the Li Mansion, but it didn't work out, but I put in seventy or eighty acres of long-lived beans, and I didn't deduct a family.
Therefore, the high priest actually did not lose unjustly, but blamed the people she used for being too incompetent, and Li Ke bluffed him in a few words. If you want to change to other ruthless people, you don't have to say a word in the morning to rush into the Li Mansion to rob it, anyway, there are many people, even if there are hundreds of Li Ke stations together.
The most annoying thing is that after Zheng Bucheng left the Li Mansion, he went home directly, jumped on the bed, jumped into the quilt, and played sparrows with several Fusang women with their heads covered, playing and singing. Leave the high priest alone in the Buddha palace, ignore it, ignore it, ignore it, and make her miserable; The heart said, 'Why hasn't this grandson come yet?' Isn't it Li Bai's way? No, I'll have to check it out. ’
Then the high priest hurried like the wind and hurried to see it, but unexpectedly, he saw that the building was empty, and there was no one to be found. Immediately, the high priest performed a search spell, found Zheng Bucheng's mansion, and found Zheng Bucheng's house.
When he saw Zheng Bucheng actually having fun in the boudoir, he was so angry that he stepped forward and wanted to pick him up and teach him a hard lesson. Unexpectedly, Zheng Bucheng actually regarded the high priest as a Fusang woman, and after saying 'Come on, beauty', he grabbed the 'baby' with his backhand, and dragged the high priest into the futon to play with sparrows, blow out candles, pull fingers, play brains, and sing no.
It's terrifying!
It is said that the ancient emperors had a ritual system of sacrificing the day in spring and the moon in autumn. Continuing to the Tang Dynasty, many princes and generals, literati and scholars or ordinary people began to follow suit. Gradually, it gave birth to the customs of sacrificing the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers, drinking osmanthus wine, etc., and set the fifteenth full moon as a festival, called mid-autumn. Influenced by the Tang Dynasty culture, the foreign countries of Cyprus also learned this festival, worshipping the moon, chasing the moon, playing with the moon and so on.
Half a month later, the Turkic, Mid-Autumn Festival arrived. The monarch worships the post, feasts the civil ministers and military generals, and the famous families in the country in the emperor's palace, admires the moon and eats the moon, drinks for joy, and enjoys with the people; In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to carry out imperial techniques, win over and consolidate the forces of all parties, and buy people's hearts.
The Li family is at ease.
Because of Li Bai, Li Ke and Yuewa have to be on top, higher than the military generals of Wenchen, and sit next to the monarch. Soon, on the osmanthus wine, the moon cake plate was brought out, accompanied by the singing and dancing of the Hu people, and everyone talked and laughed, so lively.
"Come, I'll salute you!"
"Respect to my king!"
Although this monarch is only in his early twenties, he is really powerful, and he is good at understanding the imperial art of imperial people's hearts. On such an occasion, he did not call himself 'king', but called 'me', and this call alone won the hearts of many people, who felt that he was a benevolent monarch and should be embraced.
"Today is the Moon Festival, so you don't have to be restrained." As he spoke, the monarch turned to look at Li Bai, and saw that he was eating moon cakes with relish at this time, engrossed in it. Then, with a smile on his face, the monarch said to Li Ke: "Li Dashan, thanks to your son's rescue a few months ago, otherwise my Turks would have perished." Taking advantage of this festive reunion, I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to walk close to your son and drink a cup of wine for him to toast? ”
The monarch really wanted to pour a glass of wine for him personally, but the reason was not out of admiration, but because of the imperial technique. Now, Li Bai is a god in the hearts of the people, and as long as the monarch holds him alone, it is equivalent to holding the people of the whole country.
Li Ke didn't think much about it, he was only good at business, not at emperors. Hearing this, the monarch was a little flattered, and immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "The king is serious! Heaven and earth are the teachers of the country, there is no home without a country, and it is the responsibility of every people to protect the country. Although my son had some chances, everything was the right thing to do. Now the king toasts, it is a great fortune for my son's three lives, so the king pleases. ”
As soon as Li Ke said this, Yuewa pulled Li Bai to stand up with interest, ready to greet the monarch. But Li Bai was already fascinated by the Turkic moon cakes, and he didn't hear the conversation between Li Ke and the monarch, so after Yuewa pulled him up, he was still eating with an osmanthus moon cake in his hand, and he didn't mean to deal with the monarch at all.
"Thank you Li Dashan for your understanding!" The monarch didn't care, waved his hand, called the servants, and said, "Someone! Take a light wine, go to the jade cup, and pay homage to the living Buddha. ”
There is something in the monarch's words, light wine is not strong, such as sweet wine, not intoxicating; The jade cup is precious, exclusive to the royal family; In particular, the last three words 'respect for the living Buddha' are meant to be heard and understood by everyone in the banquet.
Not long after the monarch said this, a maid stepped forward with a light wine cup and came to the side. The monarch didn't think much about it, and immediately smiled kindly, and stretched out his hand to take the light wine jade cup on the maid's plate. But unexpectedly, just picked it up, and before she could retract her hand, the maid suddenly raised her head and glanced at him. When he arrived, the monarch couldn't help but feel frightened in his heart, and when his hands trembled, he saw that the shallow wine and jade cups fell to the ground one after another, making a 'clang' sound, splashing all over his body.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and both sides saw that they quickly raised their swords and stepped forward, protecting the monarch and surrounding the maid. The military general Wenchen asked what was going on, and the monarch was stunned for a while, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, waved his hand and said: "Don't make a fuss, I accidentally dropped this jade cup, it's none of her business, let's step back!" ”
"Yes, King!"
The guards responded, and then dispersed, and the maids retired.
"I've frightened you, forgive me!" The monarch swept away the panic and smiled, but his hand was still trembling, and he said, "Wait a little longer, you guys, and I'll go and change my robe." ”
The monarch said, no matter what the looks of the people were, and immediately hurried back to the dormitory. As a result, as soon as he entered the door, the maid suddenly flew from behind him, and without saying a word, she raised her sword and fell, and directly cut off the heads of more than a dozen people guarding him on both sides. Then, the blade of the sword was bloody, pointing at the monarch, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a crying voice, and said: "Queen Mother, I was wrong! ”
