The candle flame in the study was dim, Li Chunfeng was still a little uncomfortable when he stepped into the study in a daze, and when he saw Li Hong sitting on the chair in the study, he was busy giving a salute, but was stopped by Li Hong and said, "Is it Li Langzhong?" No need to be polite, you can sit down! ”

Li Chunfeng didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be so easy-going, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Zhao Hongskirt served the tea, Li Hong invited Li Chunfeng to take a sip, and then asked, "I heard that Li Langzhong has studied yin and yang quite deeply, I don't know if I can teach him?" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Li Chunfeng said modestly, "As long as His Highness has any questions about Yin and Yang, the old minister will definitely give His Highness a detailed answer if he can answer it." ”

Li Hong was quite satisfied with Li Chunfeng's answer. Just now, he deliberately learned about Li Chunfeng's situation, and the information he got was

Li Chunfeng was known as a "prodigy" since he was a child, he was well-read under the influence of his father, especially fond of astronomy, geography, Taoism, yin and yang, at the age of nine he went to Henan Nantuo Mountain Jingyun to worship Yuan Daochang as a teacher.

At the age of seventeen, he returned to his hometown, and was recommended by Li Shimin's friend Liu Wenjing to become Li Shimin's adviser and participated in the anti-Sui Xingtang uprising. When Li Yuan called the emperor Li Shimin the king of Qin, he became the secretary of the Qin Palace, and joined the army. In the first year of Tang Zhenguan, Li Chunfeng entered Shilang directly into the Taishi Bureau. In the Taishi Bureau, which is in charge of astronomy, geography, calendar-making, and history revision, the current emperor's secretary is Ge Langzhong.

Therefore, Li Hong also admired Li Chunfeng, who was keen on his career and could mix like a fish in water in officialdom, and could fully display his talents and have worked hard for almost forty years, Li Hong also admired it in his heart, so he asked bluntly, "Li Langzhong said this, and he didn't hide it." "But the old man should rule, Li Hong should come out, and there are many people in the world who return to the Tao, and those who call Li Hong are years old." 'The true monarch, Muzi bows, the king rules the world, and the world is happy. May I ask Li Langzhong, do you ever know the meaning of this sentence? ”

Li Chunfeng suddenly heard Li Hong chanting these two sentences, and his expression suddenly became much more serious, "Your Highness, did Your Majesty tell you these two sentences?" ”

Since he decided to talk openly and honestly, Li Hong didn't want to hide anything from Li Chunfeng anymore, so he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, it was my father who told Gu." But the father only told Gu these two sentences and didn't say anything more, so Gu would ask you to know more about the situation. ”

Li Chunfeng saw that the crown prince did not hide himself and said it very frankly, so he didn't have many worries in his heart, but said in a solemn tone, "Your Highness, the first sentence you said came from "Lao Junyin Reciting the Commandments", and there was an explanation behind it, saying that there were many people who called Liu Ju, and there were many people who called Li Hong. ”

What do these two sentences mean?" Li Hong asked puzzledly, "What is the connection between Lone's name and these two sentences?" ”

"It means that if King Li Hong rules the world, the world will be peaceful, and the people will be able to enjoy great happiness." Li Chunfeng explained, "That is to say, in the future, His Royal Highness will be the emperor and will be ruled by prosperity." ”

"In this way, my father gave Gu such a name, and his expectations for Gu are very high!" Li Hong said with emotion. It is no wonder that Gaozong has always been very fond of himself, and when he was just thirteen years old, he ordered to go to Guangshunmen to review the performance and deal with government affairs.

However, when Li Hong saw Li Chunfeng's embarrassed look when he said this, he was a little puzzled, isn't that so? Could it be that there is still some secret in it?

asked sincerely, "Li Langzhong, is there anything hidden in this sentence?" ”

"Your Highness, there is a sentence in the back that says that there are many people who call Liu Ju." Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment, but still spoke,

"Lao Jun Changing Wuji Sutra" said: Lao Jun changed his body shape, and he made the true scripture in Huzhong,...... Hu Er is angry and angry, and he can be transferred to the Western Han Dynasty at any time, and Muzi is surnamed Gongkou, and he lives in Chengdu Palace, Shu County. It means that the person called Li Hong is the reincarnation of Daojun Laozi. And for hundreds of years, there has been a constant struggle between Taoism and Buddhism, and Taoism has produced a Li Hong who was born from Lao Tzu, how can Buddhism not move? They selected a person named Liu Ju to oppose him. ”

Speaking of this, Li Chunfeng took a sip of tea and continued, "Therefore, as long as Li Hong is born in the world, Liu Ju will definitely come into being. The two hate each other, fight and fight, and never die. ”

Because the prince's name is Li Hong, Li Chunfeng didn't dare to say it too bluntly when he explained, so although he made a vague explanation, it was still difficult for others to understand.

But Li Hong understood, he understood the meaning of Li Chunfeng's words, and asked in a cold tone, "With Li Langzhong's meaning, the ten ** who assassinated the Lone King this time are people in Buddhism?" ”

"Not all Buddhists." Li Chunfeng shook his head and said, "It's a part of the Buddhists who are around Liu Ju. ”

"Liu Ju?" Li Hong's eyes were full of murderous intentions, and through Gaozong's subtle communication, as well as Li Chunfeng's explanation, he now knew that it was only a person named Liu Ju who assassinated him in Chang'an City, and they were still a group of Buddhists who only operated in secret. is such a group of people who dare to assassinate themselves in Chang'an City, and also infiltrate their strength into the Chang'an County Ya and Nan Yawei. Then Li Hong is a little worried, how strong are such a group of anti-thieves now?

"Is there only one explanation?" Li Hong restrained his murderous intent and asked Li Chunfeng again. Since Li Chunfeng was invited to the East Palace today, he was ready to ask everything he didn't know.

Actually, Li Hong asked Li Chunfeng like this, and there was another meaning.

At that time, Li Shimin asked Li Chunfeng in secret that how long the Li family could protect the world, and when would anyone occupy the throne of the country in the future.

Li Chunfeng replied, the minister looked up to the celestial phenomena to look down on the fortune of the earth's veins and divination, and after counting, he dared to tell His Majesty the truth. The usurper is already in His Majesty's palace, and is only thirty years old this year, and he will replace His Majesty's dynasty on the throne and will kill all His Majesty's descendants.

After hearing this, Li Shimin was so angry that he killed all the men and women of the same age in the palace, and Li Chunfeng heard it and admonished Li Shimin that his omen had come true, and the people ordered by heaven could not achieve his intentions. If His Majesty kills all the people of the same age in the palace, not only may he not be able to get rid of the life of the emperor who is destined for the future, but the fears will kill more innocent and precious lives and create more evil, and the divination of the ministers now shows that this lord will appear in thirty years, when this person will be nearly sixty years old, and it is believed that his heart has gradually become merciful, and the disaster will be shallow. If Your Majesty kills the young and strong people in Shanghai today because of this, or I am afraid that there will be more resentment, it will inevitably cause a lot of harm to Your Majesty's descendants. It was because Li Chunfeng advised him so much that Li Shimin sanitized his desire to kill. But at the same time, he also sent the Empress Wu to the Ganye Temple.

Therefore, Li Hong felt that if his name was really related to the reincarnation of Daojun, then Gaozong might not just want to rule the world by giving him this name, and there must be another secret in it.

"This-" Li Chunfeng hesitated when Li Hong asked this. Because Li Hong is the crown prince and a party to this matter, he should have told him everything he knew.

However, this matter was very important, and without Gaozong's order, he was a little hesitant at first.

Seeing Li Chunfeng hesitate like this, Li Hong knew that there was a bigger secret hidden in his name, so he got up and walked in front of Li Chunfeng, bowed down and bowed, "Please also ask Li Langzhong to tell me the truth!" ”

"Your Highness, what are you..."Li Chunfeng hurriedly got up to support Li Hong, he looked anxious, and he didn't know what to do. Li Hong bowed again, "Li Langzhong, please also tell Gu the truth." ”

Li Chunfeng saw that the prince insisted on knowing the truth, and seeing that the prince's attitude was so sincere, he hesitated a few times, struggled in his heart for a moment, and then made up his mind and said, "Since His Highness wants to know the truth, then the old minister will no longer hide His Highness, just tell you the truth!" ”

"Thank you, Li Langzhong." Li Hong said happily.

"Your Royal Highness, in fact, when His Majesty welcomed Niangniang into the palace from Ganye Temple, he was opposed by many ministers, including Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, the ministers of Gu Ming at the time of Taizong, so it can be seen how resolute everyone's attitude towards refusing to welcome Niangniang into the palace at that time, and their opposition was also very sufficient, that is, a proverb about Niangniang, saying that she would replace the Li family." Li Chunfeng said carefully.

Seeing that Li Hong's expression remained unchanged, Li Chunfeng continued, "Because this proverb comes from the mouth of the volcano order and has been calculated by the old minister, Taizong is convinced of it, and His Majesty also believes it very much. ”

Because Yuan Tiangang served as a volcano commander when he was in Taizong, Li Chunfeng called him that.

Li Hong was surprised when he heard this, since Gaozong believed in the proverb that Empress Wu would replace the Tang Dynasty, then why did he insist on marrying Empress Wu into the palace? Do you want to crown her queen?

"But Your Majesty's feelings for Niangniang are very deep, and he doesn't want to ignore his feelings with Niangniang because of a proverb, so he secretly asks Lao Chen and Volcano Ling how to solve it." Li Chunfeng said this, glanced at Li Hong, and continued, "Lao Chen and Volcano Ling calculated for a long time before they came up with a solution, which is to name the prince of Niangniang's arms Li Hong, and let him come into being, so that after he ascends the throne, the king will rule the world, so that he can replace Li Tang with the Mandate of Heaven who bans Niangniang." ”

When Li Hong heard this, he suddenly realized.

With Li Chunfeng's explanation, all the questions blocked in Li Hong's heart were explained at once. No wonder Gaozong pampered himself so much, pampered himself so much, let himself participate in politics so early, and also made decisions and dealt with some small things. It's no wonder that his mother, Empress Wu, pays attention to herself everywhere and guards herself like this.

There is a reason for all this!

Thinking of this, Li Hong couldn't help but sigh. Because according to Li Chunfeng's intentions, he came into being, and he was the one who was to prevent the Empress Wu from replacing Li Tang Jiangshan. Then, there will be no possibility of peaceful coexistence between him and Empress Wu, and their destiny determines that they will fight to the end and never die?

"This is Lone's life?" After being silent for a long time, Li Hong suddenly asked Li Chunfeng, "Isn't there a good way to solve it?" ”

"Nope." Li Chunfeng replied very simply, "His Royal Highness came into being, named Li Hong, and it is the emperor's destiny of the Daojun!" There will be endless disputes with the destiny of the mother. There is no other solution. ”

Li Hong was silent.

Hearing Li Chunfeng say this, he clearly knew his future fate and path -- there was no compromise, only killing and moving forward bravely.

Because, he doesn't want to die!
