Chapter 253: Confession

After getting two satisfactory sketch portraits, Li Er was in a very good mood, so he asked the maid to take snacks such as dried fruit cakes, and asked Chen Gui to bring a small bench to Wang Xiang.

Now Wang Xiang has no grudge against sitting on a small bench, knowing that it is a rare honor to be given a small bench by the emperor, and there is no one else here.

It's just that he feels that his legs and feet are a little unstretched while sitting on a small bench, but only he thinks so, everyone else is respectful in front of the emperor, who will stretch his arms and kick his legs if he has nothing to do.

The little son was held in the arms of the eldest grandson, holding a string of sugar gourds made by the imperial chef in the palace and eating them with relish, while Li Zhi sat on a small bench like Wang Xiang.

"Wang Jiancheng, when I went to look for you, I passed by the Lu Guogong Mansion, and I heard that General Cheng was also a god, is it true?"

A little kid of his age is the most curious about the theory of ghosts and gods, especially when the two door gods just appeared in the Tang Dynasty yesterday, even his father and emperor admitted the statement of the door gods, and he was even more curious when he heard the news.

Li Er was teasing the little son, and after listening to Li Zhi's words, he immediately looked at Wang Xiang: "Lao Cheng is also a god?" The fortune teller said it again? ”

Wang Xiang nodded awkwardly.

"Oh?" Li Er asked with a smile: "Then the fortune teller said that Lao Cheng is a god descending to earth?" ”

"Uh...... It is said to be a god of the mixed world. ”

Li Er was stunned when he heard this, he was still a great god, and when he heard it, he was much more magnificent than the door god, Lao Cheng was so awesome? Wouldn't I, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, ......

Before Li Er finished thinking about it, Li Zhi spoke again: "But I heard that it's not this, I heard that it's not a marshal, it's very majestic." ”

"Huh?" Li Erhu glanced at Wang Xiang suspiciously.

"This ...... In fact, the god of chaos has another name. Call...... Marshal Canopy. ”

Wang Xiang sweated in his heart. Fortunately, it was adapted when I first told Journey to the West. didn't say that the second senior brother's original identity was Marshal Tianpeng, otherwise I don't know if Lao Cheng would have come to the door with a kitchen knife if he knew.

"That's right! It's Marshal Tianpeng! Li Zhi said excitedly: "I also heard them say that Marshal Tianpeng is the immortal marshal in charge of the 300,000 Tianhe army in the sky, General Cheng is very happy, and he also asked people to set up a tablet for Marshal Tianpeng in the mansion." ”

Depend on! Lao Cheng wants to be like this! When he was in his mansion before, he still disdained Wei Chi Jingde to show off the name of the door god everywhere, but he didn't expect that not long after he left, he actually came out of the tablet of Marshal Tianpeng.

The ancients studied hard in the cold window, what was the purpose of the battlefield fighting? In addition to being powerful and wealthy, the glory of the family is to be famous for future generations. Qin Qiong is so low-key, but the people in his mansion still go around promoting his immortal identity, which shows how much the ancients attached importance to fame.

Li Er's heart also became hot, and he coughed and pretended to be calm and asked: "Since Lao Cheng is Marshal Tianpeng, you have asked, how did I ask you yesterday?" ”

In fact, Li Er didn't believe in any fortune teller at all, and guessed that most of the so-called immortals were made up by Wang Xiang himself, but first, he needed this kind of "fortune teller" fairy saying, ordinary people really couldn't make up such a head, and secondly, the two portraits of the door gods painted by Yan Liben did play an extraordinary role, and he can now clearly remember that in his dream, a golden light flashed the image of Yu Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong falling from the sky. Coupled with the speculation of Yuan Tiangang, the number one great god stick, Li Er, who was wise and martial, was also a little surprised.

In addition to making sketches and portraits. Wang Xiang knew that he would not be able to escape from this matter, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is not an immortal. ”

"What!" Li Er, who was still calm, suddenly raised his voice and looked at Wang Xiang with burning eyes.

Empress Changsun and Li Zhi were also very surprised, even Lao Cheng was the Marshal of Tianpeng who was in charge of the 300,000 Tianhe army, how could Li Er not be an immortal.

Feeling Li Er's dissatisfaction, Wang Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "The minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, in fact, the so-called immortal theory is all made up by the minister himself." ”

Li Zhi opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous: "Huh? Is General Cheng made up blindly by Marshal Tianpeng? So what about General Qin and General Wei Chi who are door gods? ”

Wang Xiang whispered: "I also made it up." ”

Li Zhi was instantly disappointed, he was still excited to see the immortals before, but it turned out to be fake.

Wang Xiang secretly glanced at Li Er and Empress Changsun, and saw that the two of them were just taken aback, but at this time they had calmed down, and suddenly sighed secretly: It is worthy of being the Ming monarch and queen in history.

Li Er was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I thought you would make up a more powerful immortal to please me." ”

Wang Xiang was surprised and said, "Your Majesty already knew?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun on the side smiled and said, "What kind of fortune teller, can you still deceive Your Majesty with this little trick?" ”

Li Er snorted lightly, and Wang Xiang hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Your Majesty is wise, it turns out that Your Majesty has long known that it was made up by the ministers." ”

"As soon as your eyes rolled, I knew what you were thinking, and what you said yesterday in the Yiguo Mansion that the gods guarded the house to ward off evil spirits was also a temporary idea."

Wang Xiang smiled awkwardly.

"But the two portraits of the door gods painted by Yan Liben are quite similar to that."

Seeing Li Er's eyes flickering at him, Wang Xiang knew that it must have been the two portraits of the door gods he took away yesterday that had played a role, and he had to explain it to himself at this time.

"Mutual origin is born from the heart, there are some things that are believed, and there are none, and all illusions are caused by the disturbance of the mind, and the mind can be at ease."

At this time, Wang Xiang really looked like a magic stick, Li Er didn't say anything about the portrait of the door god to get rid of the nightmare and fall asleep peacefully, Wang Xiang's explanation was also vague, Li Zhi was confused, he didn't know what they were talking about, his fragile heart was still sad because of the shattering of the fairy dream.

Li Er and Empress Changsun were both thoughtful after listening to Wang Xiang's words, and they both had a feeling of sudden realization after glancing at each other.

Hearing Wang Xiang personally confess that the so-called immortal theory was made up by himself, Li Er had an indescribable feeling in his heart, he hoped that what Wang Xiang said about the immortals was true, but he didn't want the immortals to be true, the emperor's mind was so complicated.

Wang Xiang didn't know Li Er's imperial thoughts, he only felt that the whole person was a lot easier after confessing, there is a saying that is true, a lie needs countless lies to cover up, it is too tiring.

Just when the hall was silent, Chen Gui suddenly walked in with his head bowed and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Cheng Lao has come to the palace and asked to see Your Majesty." ”

Lao Cheng is here? Wang Xiang was surprised, didn't he have a big feast in the mansion, why did he leave the guests and enter the palace?

Li Er was also a little surprised, Lao Cheng had just entered the palace to worship, what was the matter with entering the palace at this time? (To be continued.) )
