Chapter 35 Gathering the Drums
There are good things and bad things, and most of the time he represents bad things, but Li Chengqian laughed and said that if something big happened, at least it showed that this matter was very beneficial to him.
After Li Chengqian finished saying this, he shut up and sold Guanzi, drank tea slowly, and wanted Yun Ye to guess by himself, this was a kind of enjoyment for him, as the secretary of the military department, Yun Ye should know more news than Li Chengqian, if it is a political matter, maybe it is possible, if it is military, no matter what, he can't get around himself as the secretary of the military department.
The rebellion in Hailing County was just a trivial matter, and it did not reach the level of Cheng dΓΉ who made Li Chengqian say that it was a big thing.
"Wang Xuance!" Li Chengqian saw that Yun Ye was puzzled, so he prompted three words, hearing this name Wang Xuance has done a lot of things over the years, and the same kind appeared in front of him, he is not only the pride of the Tang Dynasty, but also the pride of Yushan Academy, and the legendary story of one person destroying a country is deduced by Wang Xuance.
In the fifteenth year of the Zhenguan reign of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the king of Magadha, the king of the kingdom of Jieri, sent a letter to the imperial court after Xuanzang's visit to the country. In March of the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Er sent Li Yibiao as the chief envoy and Wang Xuance as the deputy envoy, accompanied by the Indian envoy to report for employment, and arrived at the royal palace city of Magadha in the first month of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, and returned to China the following year. In the twentieth year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance served as the chief envoy and sent an envoy to India with the deputy envoy Jiang Shiren.
"Wang Xuance has been studying the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and he found that compared with the influence of the Tang Dynasty on Tubo, Tianzhu seems to have a greater influence on Tubo, so he transferred his interest to the country of Tianzhu, and asked Master Xuanzang many times about the customs of Tianzhu, accumulated very deep knowledge, and learned Sanskrit.
This time they went to the territory of the King of the Sun again. As a result, the king of Jieri died, and the new king detained them, and Wang Xuance escaped on horseback, borrowing 3,000 soldiers and horses from Songtsen Gampo, who had already submitted to the Tang Dynasty, and destroying the country. The king who captured them, of course, this record is not yet on the table. β
Li Chengqian paused again after saying this, looked at Yun Ye suspiciously, and asked, "Yezi, tell me honestly, is there really a method of immortality in this world?" β
Yun Ye didn't understand why Wang Xuance had something to do with immortality, recently Li Er always asked himself about the jade card, and he was annoyed by his question, so he asked Wutongue to take the jade card into the palace to teach Li Er and his wife how to strengthen their bodies, could it be that Wutongue boasted about the ability of the jade card too much, giving the royal people an illusion?
"There is a way to strengthen the body. There is no way to live forever, absolutely not, if anyone says that they can live forever, you will immediately cut off his head, and you will never kill the wrong person, this person is a liar out of ten. β
Hearing Yun Ye say this, Li Chengqian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and whispered to Yun Ye: "The big thing I said is this, Wang Xuance brought back a monk from the territory of the King of the Ring Sun. It is said that it has lived for more than two hundred years, and it is truly more than two hundred years. It is not two hundred years according to the day of Jiazi.
The old monk claimed to have studied the art of immortality for two hundred years, which can not only make people immortal. It is even possible to soar in the daytime, I have seen the old guy today, the face is extremely ancient, the treasure is solemn, and there are laws for action, sitting and lying down. After a few conversations, the old monk was extremely familiar with the Peacock Ming King's method, and even had many wonderful explanations, even Master Xuanzang felt admiration. For this reason, my father and queen mother specially fasted and bathed for seven days, preparing to listen to the holy monk's lectures. Since the beginning of today's son, I heard that not only the scriptures, but also the holy monks will also cast spells for my father and queen mother, I just have doubts, so I will ask you and ask you for verification. β
"Why didn't I hear any wind?" Yun Ye asked Li Chengqian in shock.
"My father said that you don't respect ghosts and gods, don't believe in Buddhism, he just wants to listen to Buddhist scriptures, see the great monk's method, and don't want to listen to your sophistry, so I don't allow me and Qingque to sue you, since you said that there is no such thing, I am also relieved."
Yun Ye's face was very pale, he finally remembered this monk, if I am not mistaken, Li Er gave his life to this monk.
When people are nervous, their brains will become very good, and he can even remember the name of this monk, Luo Yi Suopo, that's right, it should be this name, this is a foreigner name destined to appear in the history of the Tang Dynasty, the only reason why it can appear is that he poisoned Li Er alive with the elixir......
Thinking of this, Yun Ye's hands trembled involuntarily, and he grabbed the teacup twice in a row without grabbing the teacup, Li Chengqian found that something was wrong with Yun Ye, and he also became nervous, could it be that this monk really has anything special?
called Yun Ye twice before pulling him out of the trance, Yun Ye barely put a smile on his face, and after two words of haha, he bowed to Li Chengqian and left.
Li Chengqian stood under the pillars with a cloudy face, his clenched hand opened after he loosened, and then he clenched it tightly, as if he was making some difficult determination, when his eyes came into contact with the thousand-year-old cypress in the courtyard, his expression became indifferent, and he walked into the hall with his hands behind his back......
Yun Ye was so worried that he didn't go back to the military department, and went directly to the palace, but he was blocked in front of the inner palace, and the guards said that the emperor was listening to the monk's lecture, and no one would be seen today and tomorrow, and it was specially noted that Yun Ye was not seen.
Yun Ye looked up to the sky and sighed, and then asked to see the eldest grandson, and the answer he got was that the emperor and queen were listening to the holy monk's lecture together, and they had already fasted and bathed, and they could not be disturbed. Yun Ye in the palace could only ask to see these two, and seeing that the rest of the concubines were rude, he repeatedly asked for a general ceremony, but he was sternly refused.
In desperation, he got on his horse and hurried back to the Yun family, he needed to sort out his thoughts and think clearly about the cause and effect of the whole thing.
This is the darkest mind, you can't see the sky above, and you can't connect to the ground, so Yun Ye sits on the swing, this is an old habit, as long as he encounters something difficult to decide, he will go to the empty house with a swing to meditate, since the last time he sat on the swing for three days, the old grandmother specially left such a room at home as a meditation place for the head of the house.
The Yun family's family is huge, and the affairs are complicated, and it is not a simple matter to figure out the pros and cons in a while and a half, if you really want to think about the overall situation, it is far from enough to have three or two days, the entanglement of interests, and the collusion of human feelings. If Li Er dies, how the Yun family should respond, if Li Cheng Qianshun ascends the throne, how to deal with the Yun family, and if there is an accident, what kind of backup mechanism should be in place, these must be thought out clearly.
There have always been a large number of nobles who followed the martyrdom of the first emperor to change the dynasty, and the son of heaven and a courtier have been the same since ancient times, which is also a universal truth, the emperor does not see himself, and he has no way to prevent this from happening. Then you need to settle for the next best thing, keep the Yun family, no matter how good the relationship between yourself and Li Chengqian is, if you have a business trip at this juncture, it is estimated that Li Chengqian will not have the slightest hesitation to deal with the Yun family, because Li Chengqian's name at that time was called the Son of Heaven.
Within three days, Yun Ye did not enter the inner palace three times, and he still did not pass the menstrual period for nine consecutive days.
Three days was enough time for the Yun family to do a lot of things, Xin Yue didn't dare to ask, but he only began to become frightened when he saw her husband start to convene the retainers, especially when she saw Lao Jiang, who had been ill for a long time, coughing and appearing in the council hall, she was even more afraid.
Lao Jiang is in charge of the Yun family's secret passage organs, and he can't get out of the door once he hides in the wine shop on weekdays, and since he is here, it means that the Yun family is likely to use the secret passage.
At sunset, Yun Ye returned home, looking tired, this time it was even more outrageous, it was just a matter of not seeing the emperor and empress, why couldn't he even see Li Chengqian, this was the first time to eat behind closed doors in the East Palace.
Without taking a bath or eating, Yun Ye lay on the bed with his clothes, trying to let himself sleep, but his eyes widened wider and wider, and the entanglement with Li Er appeared in front of him one by one, from the first time he saw Li Er and his wife, to now, this feeling has become a concept similar to chaos, and his heart is like pressing a big stone, and he is already in tears before he knows it.
Xin Yue walked in and saw her husband's face full of tears, she didn't comfort or make a sound, she just curled up in her husband's arms.
Yun Ye's tears flowed for a long time before he fell asleep unconsciously, and the drum of the third watch had just been beaten. He didn't know that the palace at this time was already in chaos, there were guards everywhere with their armor rattling, torches everywhere, lanterns everywhere, Qianniuwei had all climbed the palace wall, and countless old eunuchs in purple robes were tightly guarding around the Wanmin Palace, not only that, but there were also figures flashing on the top of the Wanmin Palace.
The sound of gold and iron resounded throughout the Taiji Palace, countless black-clothed people jumped in the crowd, churning, nimble, fierce, covered in blood but did not retreat, helpless in numbers, or driven to the open space, full of bright armor Qianniuwei held a huge shield, the gap between the shields was densely covered with spears, one step at a time, slowly pressed towards the black-clothed people.
The man in black at the head shouted wildly: "Loyalty is at this time!" After shouting, he turned the horizontal knife upside down and stabbed into his waist and ribs without the slightest hesitation, and then fell to the ground, and the other black-clothed people did the same, and died cleanly between breaths......
The palace sounded the drum of the generals, this was the first time in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and countless red feather envoys jumped out of the palace with small flags on their backs and scattered outside the dark Chang'an City. (To be continued......)
