Chapter 669: The Ambitious Monk (I)

Liu Yu didn't care about how the fire started with Wu You, and first showed Wu You the proverbs that Liu Liniang brought, Wu You looked at the words on the paper, and did not show due caution, on the contrary, he looked careless after reading it, as if he had read a joke.

"How?" Liu Yu looked at Wu You's demeanor, couldn't see why, and asked, "Don't say that these words are already within your calculations, they are not a heavenly opportunity?" ”

Wu You raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu curiously, "You kid mean that this is a heavenly machine?" The sentence doesn't make sense, which is the genius? Oops, my head hurts, you let the little old man go back and solve the firefighting matter first, and then come over and tell you this, okay? ”

For some considerations, Liu Yu didn't plan to tell Wu You the source of the content on the paper, but now he didn't know what to say. If Wu You is pretending to be confused, then he really can't do anything about Wu You.

"According to your understanding of Master Wu, can this paragraph have a special meaning? I mean, with so many years of experience in astrology or divination. ”

Wu You frowned and looked at it, and said, "Maybe it means that there is a big fire, where is the fire, and who wrote it, you can ask whom." ”

Liu Yu knew that Wu You was perfunctory to him, even if Wu You didn't know the source of this text, he should have thought of it from "Trouble in the South" to something related to his prophecy. Usually these god sticks care a lot about the opinions of other god sticks, just like Wu You deduced some content and always wanted to discuss it with Master Wuding. Maybe at that time, Master Wuding had already shown Wu You this passage in the Book of Heaven, and he read it now, and he didn't say anything more than denying it.

"Master Wu, you can disown it. But I want to remind you. The indefinite teacher has a political purpose in itself. And you can be detached. It's not that I don't get involved in the matter, but I don't want to worry about some things, if you continue to work for the tiger, then don't say that I don't talk about friendship. There are some things, I will also take care of them! ”

Liu Yu said in a threatening tone, brushed his sleeves and left. Liu Yu himself is in a bad mood, and now Wu You is tantamount to playing sloppy in front of him, and Liu Yu sees it as Wu You shielding Mrs. Wuding in disguise. He was in a worse mood.

Back at the palace, Liu Yuxin wanted to find someone who knew the art of Xuankong to inquire, after all, it was not only Wu You and Wuding Shitai who could tell fortunes, but also various small and medium-sized magic sticks. When he arrived at the inner court, he happened to see Qi'er playing with the little stammering Wu Shuo, Liu Yu's heart moved, although Wu Shuo's words were not good, but the fortune teller was a good hand, Liu Yue clearly remembered that Wu Shuo helped the fourth princess Su Bi play tricks in Zangyunfang, and the fortune teller came to calculate the Tibetan hook.

"Miss Wu. Rare guests. Liu Yu stepped forward and directly replaced Qi'er. Pushing Wu Shuo, who was swinging, pushed Lao Gao, Wu Shuo was having fun with Qi'er, and suddenly felt that the swing seemed to fly into the sky as if he didn't obey the call, and shouted in surprise, even Qi'er looked up at Wu Shuo who was panicked and flew to Wu Shuo who was flying high with the swing, and when the swing swung down, Wu Shuo held the rope and looked at Liu Yu with a kind smile in a panic.

"You, you...... Kill someone? Wu Shuo's pupils were still open, frightened, but he was also a little dissatisfied and said.

"Seeing that you guys are having fun, I really don't know what to do." Liu Yu said in an unkind tone, "Little stammer, I heard that you can tell hexagrams, I don't know if it's true or not, I think it's probably your great-grandfather who is talking nonsense, and you may not be so godly." ”

Wu Shuo snorted lightly and said, "Who is who, who said me, I won't?" ”

What Liu Yu wants is Wu Shuo's unyielding attitude, first "offend" her, force her, and then provoke, and sure enough, Wu Shuo got into the trap.

Liu Yu took out the paper, handed it to Wu Shuo, and said, "Then look at it, what does this text mean?" ”

Wu Shuo took the paper and looked at it for a while, her expression seemed to be very focused, Qi'er looked at the words on the paper curiously, and then looked at Liu Yu who still had a smile on her face, she also didn't understand why Liu Yu wanted Wu Shuo to read such an inconspicuous text.

"Little stammer, what do you see?" After waiting for a long time, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask.

Wu Shuo asked rhetorically, "Where did you come from?" ”

"This is a good thing, it was calculated by a certain Tianzhu master, and it is said to represent the highest level of Tianzhu country, oh, Tianzhu is a country in the south of the Shun Dynasty. If you can't, go find someone else. ”

Wu Shuo pouted, his face flushed, as if he had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Qi'er looked at Wu Shuo, who was anxious, she understood her little sister's problem very well, that is, the more excited she was, the more she couldn't speak.

"Yaya, what do you see, tell me, I'll tell Xianggong." Qi'er was very considerate.

Wu Shuo nodded, put it in Qi'er's ear and said a few words, Qi'er nodded, and told Liu Yudao: "Yaya said, these four sentences are wooden hexagrams, I don't know what they are, but Yaya seems to say that there will be a fire in Chang'an City, it is a fire disaster." ”

Liu Yu thought to himself, is this talking about the fire in Chang'an City a few days ago?

"Little stammer, you are hindsight, Chang'an City has just finished the fire, and you said that this hexagram has a fire, which is difficult to convince." Liu Yu said sarcastically.

Wu Shuo said: "Who is Zhuge Liangliang?" ”

"Oh, a wise man, I don't know what to say when I tell you, so I still don't say it." Liu Yudao.

Wu Shuo's face was red again, Liu Yue could see that Wu Shuo was very strong, and he was most afraid of being looked down upon by others.

"That's that...... It's not ......."

Wu Shuo became excited, don't say a word, he can't even say a few words well, and he turns things upside down. In the end, it was Qi'er who stepped forward, it was amazing to say, as long as Wu Shuo didn't speak in public, she could speak very fluently, Liu Yue looked at her when she spoke in Qi'er's ear, at least one sentence came out in a row.

Yaya said, that fire is not the fire in this hexagram, there is still a fire in Chang'an City, it should be in the near future, not the end of the year. It's terrible, a fire can't be burned, and ah......"

The last fire cast a shadow on Qi'er's heart, and she heard some rumors that it was because she ascended the throne as emperor. will lead to the fire in Chang'an City. That was God's punishment for her. Qi'er is pure and kind-hearted. I always feel that I am sorry for the people of Chang'an City.

Liu Yu nodded, thinking to himself, this should be in response to the prophecy of the "Qinglou Fire".

"Where is the Qinglou?" Liu Yu asked.

Wu Shuo pinched his fingers and calculated, and asked Qi'er to convey: "Yaya said, Qinglou is a place with many buildings, and it should be the highest place in Chang'an City." ”

"The highest place in Chang'an City?" Liu Yu thought about it, the highest place in Chang'an City was in Nanshan in Jinchangfang. And the commanding height, is it the Big Wild Goose Pagoda?

Thinking of what Wu You and Master Wuding mentioned before, there are some cats in the Great Ci'en Temple, Liu Yu is cautious. After all, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, and all the signs seem to say that something will happen in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

"What else have you come up with?"

Wu Shuo shook his head and said that there was no more.

Liu Yu sighed, although Wu Shuo couldn't explain the entire four sentences in detail, but he also gave him a warning, that is, some things. Or is the word following some kind of preset track. His appearance, albeit a small episode in history. But history may have the ability to heal itself and prevent some butterfly effects from being derived.

Liu Yu didn't continue to ask Wu Shuo, he returned to the inner court first, locked himself in the study alone, and saw no one. He first looked at the internal structure of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, then read the list of hundred officials that Han Sheng had given him before, and then looked at the list of new court officials, and it was an afternoon until Han Sheng came to the palace with some official business.

Liu Yu received Han Sheng in the Yaqian Palace, and Liu Yu at this time was a little depressed, on the one hand, because Su Yan's departure made him feel that a danger was approaching, and the bigger factor was because he felt that his fate was restrained by the wheel of history. His own fate and the taste of being controlled by others made Liu Yu feel very unhappy.

"Little Brother Liu, I heard one thing, saying that the envoy of Tianzhu Kingdom will come to Chang'an City in the next few days. How are you going to receive it? Han Sheng finished his business and asked directly.

Liu Yu said in a flat tone: "How to receive it, now the Turkic envoys have just arrived, the matter of receiving foreign guests, it is not complicated to say that it is complicated, it is not simple to say that it is simple, with the current national strength of the Shun Dynasty, even if these envoys are neglected, they will not have any opinions." ”

Han Sheng said suddenly: "Little Brother Liu, there is one more thing, there has been a rumor outside, saying that the northern Turks are now suffering from internal and external troubles, and some small countries and small tribes in the north, such as Tiele and Goryeo north of the Bohai Sea, have the ambition to annex the Turks. And to the north of the Turks, there are also new tribes that have risen to the point where the Turks can no longer survive, you see...... What do you think about this military dispatch? ”

Han Sheng cautiously asked, and Liu Yue felt that Han Sheng was afraid that he would agree to send troops and then damage the national strength of the Great Shun Dynasty. Over the years, the Shun Dynasty has not raised troops internally and externally once or twice, and Han Sheng, as the chief steward of the Shun Dynasty, is very stingy, and he also hopes that Liu Yu can cherish the hard-won stability and not fight again.

"Brother Han, can you not send troops, or not send troops, as for the small countries of Goryeo and Tiele, we can use the Turks to contain them for the time being. The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, even if the Turks are now in internal and external difficulties, but it is not those small countries that can be bullied casually, we should give the Turks some policy support, this is enough, their own troubles, of course, they have to solve their own problems. ”

When Han Sheng heard Liu Yu say this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that Little Brother Liu thinks so. Ha Lu Ha, good thing. That day, I will arrange for someone from the Ministry of Rites to be in charge of the envoy of the Zhu Kingdom, Brother Liu, there is nothing else, I went first, I was busy all day, and I wanted to go back early. ”

Liu Yu glanced at Han Sheng, his expression was a little weird. Suddenly, the old friend in front of Liu Yu suddenly fell in love with life.

Liu Yuzhi said that Han Sheng's change is related to Han Sheng's recent reception of Aunt Xuan, who taught dance to the house by the Han sisters. In the past, Han Sheng always felt that there was nothing to love in life, but now that there is a woman at home, he has even become a man who loves family.

Liu Yu sent Han Sheng away, and suddenly felt that something had been ignored by himself. Han Sheng is already an "old horseman", sixty or seventy years old, so how could Aunt Xuan be so obsessed with Han Sheng? Liu Yue thought about Aunt Xuan's demeanor, she was also a very attractive woman, and she felt envious of Han Sheng's "charm", and at the same time he remembered one thing in his heart, he had never investigated Aunt Xuan's origin, only knew that she was a teacher in the song and dance workshop, and later heard Sima Xuan'er say that Aunt Xuan was not an official person. It's external. Because she dances well. was invited to the singing and dancing workshop as a teacher.

Liu Yu suddenly felt that he couldn't let an important court minister like Han Sheng have the possibility of being co-opted by the "enemy". He knew how important Lu Dao's position in the court was now, and if there was a problem with this position, the entire court might be paralyzed.

Liu Yu called Qu Zhu and asked Qu Zhu to investigate the matter.

When Qu Zhu arrived at the Yaqian Palace, the Qu Zhu that Liu Yu saw no longer had the graceful demeanor he had when he first met. Unruly, in the past two days, in order to investigate the envoys of the Tianzhu Kingdom and the remnants of the Three Puritans, Qu Zhu can be said to be anxious, his eyes are red, and he doesn't know how long Lu Dao has not rested well.

"Lao Qu, rest more, you can't stay up like this." Liu Yudao.

Qu Zhu sighed: "The general doesn't know that the remnants of the Three Puritans have been doing evil recently. The subordinates have to arrange the detailed work, and they also have to communicate with the military department and the yamen. In addition, the envoys of Tianzhu are coming, and there is really no time to rest. ”

Liu Yu wanted to say that he would give him a holiday, but suddenly felt that he didn't have a holiday, and giving Qu Zhu a holiday was to find something to do for himself.

"How is the investigation of the matter of the envoy of Tianzhu?" Liu Yu asked.

"The subordinates sent people to the south to inquire, it is reported that the prince of Tianzhu and the monks of Tianzhu and his entourage, to the Nanzhao country, there is no special situation, and the country of Nanzhao is a country that believes in Buddhism, so the prince of Tianzhu and the monks and his party were also courteous in the country of Nanzhao. After they arrived in the territory of the Shun Dynasty, the local yamen did not embarrass them, but they ......"

Liu Yue saw that Qu Zhu wanted to speak and stopped, and felt that something should be wrong.

"Just what, to put it bluntly." Liu Yudao.

"According to investigation, the prince of Tianzhu was driven out of Tianzhu by the king of Tianzhu Kingdom, as for why, it has not been investigated. This matter has yet to be clarified. ”

Liu Yu smiled, this is really extraneous.

The prince of Tianzhu Kingdom visited with a group of monks, but he was still a political refuge? Since the prince of Tianzhu was driven out by the Tianzhu Kingdom, how could there be a group of high-ranking monks following him? What is the purpose of the prince of Tianzhu's visit to various countries? Could it be that he was inciting countries to send troops to help him regain the throne?

Liu Yu had no answer in his heart, so he could only let Qu Zhu continue to investigate.

"Lao Qu, don't be too anxious about the envoys of Tianzhu Kingdom, anyway, they will arrive in Chang'an in a few days. You first go to check the matter of Aunt Xuan in Han Xiang's mansion, this matter must be carried out secretly, you know how respectful Han Xiang is in the court, you can't let outsiders know about it. ”

Qu Zhu received the order and was about to leave, when Liu Yu added: "Even the guards...... What about now? ”

Qu Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Even the guards, he is still in prison, and Liao Du Yushi has interrogated him twice, I heard that ...... ...... torture was used."

Liu Yu frowned, although he had long seen that Liao Mingsheng and Lian Husheng had long been unable to look at each other, but he expected that Liao Mingsheng should not be so bold and dare to declare a personal vendetta.

But now, Lian Husheng just killed a few students, and everyone saw it, so he didn't need to explain anything, why did Liao Mingsheng move the punishment?

"Okay, you go first, just pass on something directly."

Waiting for Qu Zhu to leave, Liu Yu directly summoned Liao Mingsheng into the palace and asked about Lian Husheng's case. Liu Yu's idea was to end the matter as soon as possible, and in order to avoid the limelight, he was going to temporarily transfer Lian Husheng to the army outside for some training, and then come back to be of great use. After all, even Husheng is loyal to him, and in the past few years, he has been born and died to protect his safety.

Liao Mingsheng entered the palace with an edict, and when he arrived at the Yaqian Palace, before Liu Yu could speak, he held a copy of the book and handed it to him and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates have important things to do." ”

Liu Yu took the notebook, opened it and saw that the pages on it were densely packed with words, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Liao Mingsheng said cautiously: "The minister has found the whereabouts of an old minister of the former dynasty and the former president of the Imperial Forest Army, Yang Lie!" ”

Even though Liu Yu was already very open to some things, when he heard the name of "Yang Lie", he immediately stood up, because Yang Lie was a very unhappy thing for him. When he was in exile in the Western Regions, he gradually felt that there should be someone around him who betrayed him, otherwise Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng would not have framed him so easily, and when he returned to the army, he didn't expect that this person would be Yang Lie, the head of his intelligence agency, and even trusted Yang Lie. It wasn't until Liu Yu returned to Chang'an City that he gradually discovered that Yang Lie was eating inside and out, and then in the back, Yang Lie simply disappeared, and he couldn't even find a figure.

Originally, Liu Yue thought that Yang Lie was bribed by Su Yan's family at that time, and even used torture to inquire about this matter when he sent someone to detain Yuan Bolang, the right minister. It's just that Yuan Bolang was indifferent at all at that time, not to mention what he had to do with Yang Lie, and after Liu Yu ousted Su Yan from power, he also looked for clues about Yang Lie, but he didn't find anything at all. From then on, he felt that Yang Lie should be a spy that Su Zhe and his party had been arranging by his side, first provoking the relationship between him and Su Yan, causing the relationship between the master and apprentice to deteriorate gradually, and then being detected, he could only abscond. Liu Yu later learned that Su Yan's woman in the palace, Cao Yi had a lot of tips, and even he couldn't know about it, although Cao Yi didn't know who was behind Lu Dao who provided her with information, but Liu Yu guessed that this person should be Yang Lie.

Liu Yu now even thinks that the current Yang Lie is still responsible for investigating intelligence for Su Zhe.

"Yang Lie? Where are you present? ”

Liao Mingsheng said: "The minister found out that Yang Lie's ambition has always been to endanger the imperial court, His Majesty and the prince's ......."

Liu Yu said angrily: "I asked you where he was!" ”

Liao Mingsheng was yelled at by Liu Yu, his heart was timid, and he hurriedly replied: "The minister found out that this thief turned into a monk and hid in a Buddhist temple in the capital, and even his appearance was modified. But the minister still found him. ”

"Which Buddhist temple?"

"Back to the prince, in the ...... Temple of Mercy and Grace. (To be continued......)
