Chapter 53: Dao Heart 4
Yu Xuanzi is the focus of today, and the emperor and empress are all there for him to leave the country. His Royal Highness the King of Jin was late and didn't say anything, and he knocked him unconscious, making people look like they were in the soup.
The hundred officials, Taoist priests, and the emperor and the queen prince suddenly looked at Feng Chen together, one was the disrespect in Yu Xuanzi's tone, and the other was because of the things said in these words, and even took Bai Jinyu to accept these surprised glances.
Everyone was wondering if Feng Chen had really done such an outrageous thing, he had already crossed the crowd and said to Yu Xuanzi: "Offended." ”
Yu Xuanzi snorted, hugged the abbot, and cried in a loud voice: "Senior brother, senior brother, you have to be the master for me!" It's been a long time since I've been back to Xifeng Mountain, so I'm thinking about going around early this morning. Who knows, on the shore of Weiming Lake, I bumped into His Royal Highness the King of Jin and his princess playing in the lake and kissing me, junior brother, I kindly stepped forward to dissuade me, and His Royal Highness knocked me out with a palm! ”
Bai Jinyu was dumbfounded, this jade Xuanzi really did what he said!
He said that if Fengchen forced each other, he would tell them about bathing in Weiming Lake, and he really said it.
A monk is full of words when he tells lies, and he is not weak at all. Bai Jinyu can be regarded as an eye-opener.
The more Yu Xuanzi cried, the more angry he became, and complained to the abbot: "They hugged and hugged, and there was a violation of morality in the pure land of my Xifeng Mountain, and they ruined the reputation of my Xianshan Mountain, abbot, this time you have to be the master for me!" ”
Such an exaggerated description, Bai Jinyu and Feng Chen were stunned when they heard it, Bai Jinyu's face was even more red and white, and she felt that the gaze on her body suddenly became hot and sharp.
Yu Xuanzi cried sadly and sincerely, and the abbot comforted him as if he was holding a child, so that a large part of the Taoist robe on his body was wet by him.
After a long time, Yu Xuanzi finally ended this gushing accusation and grievance, and the abbot raised his head to confirm to Fengchen: "Your Highness, this ......"
Feng Chen wanted to explain, but Yu Xuanzi had already grabbed the white: "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is unique, and everything can be reasonable, Your Highness, if you dare to tell everyone if there is such a thing!" ”
Feng Chen closed his mouth.
Seeing this, the queen seemed to be unable to stand Yu Xuanzi's indiscriminate planting of Feng Chen, she glanced at him with her eyebrows, and said with Feng Chen: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always been respectful and courteous, and he is a model for the clan, why does Daoist Yu Xuanzi use such unbearable words to slander him?" ”
Yu Xuanzi immediately pushed away from the abbot, looked aggrieved, and pointed to all the statues in the hall and said: "Queen Mother, so many heavenly officials and immortals are here, how can Poor Dao frame His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" Absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing! ”
Yu Xuanzi dared to be so sure, the queen hesitated for a while, and glanced at the emperor in front of her, Feng Hua, at a loss.
Feng Hua's brows were tightly locked, his face was really bad, and he was obviously annoyed by the farce in front of him.
Today, he sincerely led hundreds of civil and military officials to the departure view, which was to do a serious thing for the benefit of the society. What was originally a serious and solemn matter has now been made into this tone.
At present, the queen and the ministers are silently waiting for his fate, pushing him to the front of the people, he is even more annoyed, so he said to Fengchen in a solemn voice: "King Jin, if I ask you, you just need to answer yes or no, no need to say more. ”
Everyone heard the emperor's displeasure, and they were as quiet as cicadas. Feng Chen nodded.
Feng Hua said: "Did you and Lihua bathe together in Weiming Lake?" ”
Bai Jinyu looked at Feng Chen worriedly, with her understanding of Feng Chen, she already expected how he would answer.
Sure enough, Feng Chen was silent for a while, and said frankly: "Yes." ”
Everyone present let out a low cry, and Feng Hua unexpectedly showed suspicion on the ground.
When Yu Xuanzi heard Feng Chen's admission, he couldn't hide his interest, and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, when I bumped into you, were you hugging the princess?!" ”
This naked question, the eyes of the audience scorched and heated, but the air was condensed on the contrary.
Bai Jinyu subconsciously stepped back, she had never experienced a more embarrassing scene in her life, she only felt that no matter what happened after that, she and Feng Chen had been firmly nailed to a kind of shame.
Suddenly, her hand was grasped backwards, and the fingers spread out to meet her palm.
A touch of warmth came from the palm of the hand, along the arm, to the heart.
She heard Feng Chen reply to everyone, "Yes." ”
When the words fell, everything fell silent.
Bai Jinyu couldn't help but clench Fengchen, and only in this way could she withstand the dense gaze at this moment.
"King ...... Jin" Feng Hua was incredulous, so disappointed that he didn't know what to say.
All the clans and officials present seemed to be disgraced by this answer at the same time, and they all bowed their heads in front of the Daoists, ashamed.
Seeing this, Yu Xuanzi burst into tears, grabbed the abbot and said, "Senior brother, look, I didn't lie, he and Princess Yuhe knocked me unconscious!" ”
Immediately, there was a whisper.
"This Jin princess is not Princess Yuhe!" The abbot reminded Yu Xuanzi in a low voice.
Yu Xuanzi said stupidly: "Really? ”
Feng Chen glanced coldly at Yu Xuanzi's performance, and looked behind him over the crowd
The crowd automatically separated from each other, and after a while, a thin and steep figure strode into the gate of the temple, and walked towards the center of the Lingguan Hall with his hands raised.
"We're looking at the saint." Xie Yao knelt down in front of Feng Hua, the queen, and the crown prince, raised his hands in front of his forehead, and said no more.
Everyone rushed to watch, only to see Xie Yao holding two stained coats in his hands. One is a purple brocade robe, embroidered with nine chapters of group pattern, it is a first-class royal dress, and the other is a women's purple veil, which is bright and gorgeous, auspicious and shining, and it is not a thing that ordinary women can use. Both clothes were stained with a few white stains, and at a glance it was clear who it was.
Everyone immediately turned their heads and covered their noses, and instantly guessed what was probably happening. Feng Hua's eyebrows stretched and waved his hand to signal Xie Yao to retreat.
Xie Yao immediately closed his shirt, stood up and retreated. The whole process, except for the first salute, did not say a word from beginning to end, and it was so cold that it was suffocating.
At this point, the officials seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if they were very glad that the name of King Jin had been preserved.
At this time, an old minister with a strong figure and domineering eyebrows said to the abbot in a strange tone: "Abbot, Daoist Yuxuanzi can misunderstand His Royal Highness the King of Jin." He especially emphasized the word "misunderstanding", which made people think that it meant "planting" and "framing".
Bai Jinyu recognized this person at once, this person was the one who supported Feng Hua with Feng Chen seven years ago, and now he has the power to lean towards the government and the opposition, and is in charge of the six Shangshu Ling, Qin Jian.
Among the ministers, there was a thin and swarthy Confucian scholar who then said to Qin Jian: "Exactly, we will fast for three days and burn incense and bathe in the Holy Commandment, and we dare not be the slightest bit lazy. His Royal Highness must have been soiled because of his clothes, so he temporarily went to Weiming Lake to wash, Weichen thought that this move was not only harmless to Xianshan, but also should show His Highness's devotion to Taoism! ”
Bai Jinyu didn't know this person.
A young man in green in the crowd stroked his palms and said, "Daoist Yuxuanzi must not have thought that even if His Royal Highness Fengchen respected the holy oracle and did not say a word, even then he would be able to prove his innocence. "The one who spoke was none other than Yan Luo.
After he reminded him, everyone noticed that Feng Chen really obeyed the emperor's words, and only answered "yes" or "no", nothing else.
Seeing this, the people present couldn't help but help Feng Chen clear his name.
Bai Jinyu's heart fell slightly, so he gently shook Fengchen's hand back and thanked him. Feng Chen felt this, and Yu Guang glanced at her slightly.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, is Nell unwell on the way, the last time I rode with him, he vomited once."
Bai Jinyu only felt that this voice was quite familiar, and followed the sound.
I saw that the speaker was in his fifties, with white skin and sparse eyebrows, a beard of a goat, dressed in a three-grade suit, and a three-beam jinxian official on his head, it was none other than Su Lihua's father-in-law, the Ministry of Works, Su Ce.
Hearing him mention Nair's vertigo, Fengchen nodded at him to confirm that this was the case.
Seeing that Feng Chen was still silent, Feng Hua smiled with relief and said, "King Jin, you can speak now!" ”
Fengchen let go of Bai Jinyu and thanked the emperor, and then said: "Yes, back to Your Majesty, this morning's journey was bumpy and bumpy, and the child committed a dizziness on the way, which made me and Lihua's clothes dirty together, and the two of us were inevitably filthy and disrespectful to the gods, so I went to Weiming Lake to wash." ”
"I see." The queen nodded knowingly, her eyes as if she had expected it.
Feng Hua nodded, and then turned to the abbot and Yu Xuanzi and said: "Abbot, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, and now that the King of Jin has told the truth, it is indeed a last resort. Please forgive the abbot and the Taoist chief! ”
The abbot said: "Where is it, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has a noble character, and the poor road is expected to have a reason for this." Now it's open," he glanced down at Yu Xuanzi, who had been silent, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry about it anymore!" ”
"I don't know why King Jin knocked out the Jade Xuanzi Daoist?" I don't know who among the Taoist priests suddenly said this.
Suddenly, Yu Xuanzi was stunned, and Feng Chen was also silent.
After a while, Feng Chen solemnly said to Feng Hua: "Holy Lord, please let Brother Xu Chen take care of this matter, and at present, it is still important to focus on business." At the end of the day, Feng Chen's eyes lit up and glanced at Yu Xuanzi, who was already nervous to the point of stiffness.
Feng Hua silently savored Feng Chen's expression and words, and immediately understood the urgency of the timing in his words, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "That's right, come here, announce the holy decree!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the eunuch Wang Gonggong, who was in charge of the palace, stepped forward with a roll of brown cloth in both hands.
Bai Jinyu looked at Yu Xuanzi, under his messy hair like basil, his face was as white as paper, the abbot pushed him a few times but did not respond, and finally pulled him to his knees.
A group of Taoist priests who left the country also knelt down, and the eunuch Wang Gonggong in charge of the palace flattened the yellow silk, and preached in a loud voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor Zhao said, the Taoist Yu Xuanzi of the departure view is meticulous in morality, respects the heavens and loves the people, and is specially sealed as the Yuxuan Zhenren with the Zhi of Kou Zhenzhi, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is revised, and the Hun Tian calendar is revised." Chin this! ”
It turned out that Feng Hua's departure view this time was to bring Yu Xuanzi into the court as an official!
Bai Jinyu was taken aback, and then he understood why Yu Xuanzi kept saying that he wanted to return to the vulgar, to dive to escape from the departure view, and to beg Fengchen to let him go in Weiming Lake.
At the same time, she also understood why Feng Chen didn't let him go, and even took him up the mountain even if he was stunned.
Ministry of Rites?
Yes, due to the leakage of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites was dismissed, and this position has been suspended. However, he didn't expect Feng Hua to appoint a Taoist priest to take up this position this time. Although there was a precedent for the Great Zheng Dynasty to have a Taoist priest acting as a regent for the Ministry of Rites, it was seventy or eighty years ago!
Now that the Taoist priest is used again, there must be a reason for it, and it is obvious that Feng Chen understands Feng Hua's thoughts very well.
"Yuxuan Zhenren, please follow the saint down the mountain and enter the court!" The prince put the holy decree back away, bent down and handed it to Yu Xuanzi, who had a demented face and a face like ashes.
Yu Xuanzi's eyes were stunned, his expression was like being struck by lightning, and he looked really depressed.
He didn't accept the decree for a long time, all the officials stared at him, the abbot glanced at Yu Xuanzi silently, grabbed his hands and reluctantly took the holy decree, and thanked him.
"No way!" Yu Xuanzi suddenly got a needle and jumped up: "I can't go down the mountain now!" ”
This remark is tantamount to a boulder throwing into the water, and the whole hall is shocked. Dare to resist the decree in front of the emperor, it is really unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is really impatient to live.
When Feng Hua's color changed, Yu Xuanzi Demon was stunned and shouted: "I still want to refine the pill!" ”
"Alchemy?" Countless people were suspicious.
Yu Xuanzi stuffed the holy decree to the abbot, walked to Feng Hua on his knees, and said urgently: "Shengshang, poor Dao has traveled around Shenzhou for several years, and has obtained an immortal prescription in Penglai Mountain, which can prolong life and immortality." Poor Dao returned to the Departure View in order to cultivate this, and I implore the Holy Lord to give Poor Dao another period of time, and wait for me to refine this elixir of immortality, and then enter the court as an official! ”
As he spoke, he ran all the way to the altar, lifted the incense burner, pulled out a piece of paper from underneath, and ran back with a roar and knelt down to hand it to Feng Hua.
Feng Hua said: "Immortal Pill? ”
Bai Jinyu raised her eyebrows, feeling that Feng Hua was interested in this question.
Sure enough, Feng Hua continued: "It will take a few days for the Dao Chief. ”
Yu Xuanzi buried his head, grabbed his fingers and calculated: "At least ten days, more than fifteen days, I hope that the saint will be fulfilled, and when the poor road is refined into this pill to dedicate to the saint, it is not too late to fulfill this holy decree!" ”
There was silence in the hall, and the matter was quite a turning point.
Feng Hua thought for a while, and cast his gaze on Feng Chen: "What does His Royal Highness King Jin think?" ”
Feng Hua still replied rudely: "Returning to the Holy Lord, immortality has been a fallacy since ancient times, it is better to let Yu Xuan Zhenren go down the mountain as soon as possible to the Prime Minister's Ministry of Rites." ”
"His Royal Highness King Jin!" Yu Xuanzi was so anxious that she almost jumped up from the ground.
His face wrinkled for a while, and he continued to turn to Feng Hua and said earnestly: "It took several years of searching for the poor road to get this recipe, and if you don't practice this pill, you can't get it, but after more than ten days, I beg His Majesty the Emperor for permission!" After speaking, the kowtow was like pounding garlic, and it was banging.
Feng Hua sighed, bent down and held Yu Xuanzi down: "That's it, ten days will be ten days, I can afford to wait." After refining this pill, don't delay any longer! ”
Yu Xuanzi was immediately overjoyed, shouting long live and clasping his head repeatedly.
"King Jin." Feng Hua looked at Feng Chen.
Feng Chen said: "Brother is here." ”
Feng Hua said: "You stay in the departure view to accompany Yuxuan Zhenren to refine the pill, and after he is refined, they will go down the mountain and return to the dynasty together." ”
"Ah?!!h Yu Xuanzi turned his head suddenly, and his face collapsed.
