Chapter 181: Scripture on the Southeast Wall
Ziyu stared at Li Junqi quietly, not knowing whether he was afraid of him or a little unfamiliar. Now, he has accepted this new master, and he no longer misses Li Junqi, who disappeared without a trace in the past, and gradually silently accepted the facts in front of him, after all, he can't change it, and he can't do anything about it, whether Li Junqi went to another world in the past, or he has already died and disappeared, it is not something he can control.
It is the real important thing to be on an errand in Prince Wen's mansion and assist the new Prince Wen to sit firmly in the seat and ensure the safety and prosperity of himself and the palace.
The carriage staggered to a remote inn, Li Junqi and Ziyu got out of the car, carefully looked at the left and right no one to follow, slowly entered the backyard of the inn, opened the door of the firewood room, and walked along the passage into a remote and dark basement.
On the way, Xiao Er and the miscellaneous people who met the inn seemed to know about Li Junqi's arrival, and no one stopped them, let alone dared to ask anything.
Bunches of torches are placed on the walls around the basement, which brightens up the otherwise dark basement, and the furnishings inside are simple, a table, a few chairs.
The only difference is that the walls on all four sides are carved with various patterns, which look very complicated, as if they are some kind of secret method of mental determination.
"See Prince Wen." A woman dressed in a strange costume respectfully blessed Li Junqi.
"Get up." Li Junqi glanced at the woman, and then froze on the picture on the wall.
I saw that the woman's face was charming, a pair of big watery eyes were round and round, a high nose bridge, a pair of beautiful nose rings hung on the right side of the nose, the ears were wearing golden rings, the five black buns were wrapped in a thin gauze scarf, and the remaining long gauze scarf was flowing behind her, which had an exotic charm.
Her voice was melodious, like a yellow bird singing in spring, "Your Highness, according to the little woman's speculation, these four walls record the past and the future. If you look at this side, you can see a huge fire that reduced an entire mansion to ashes.
Immediately afterward, the royal family was in turmoil, and the traitor reigned, and the courtier in the picture led a young child to the throne.
Immediately afterwards, the Western Regions attacked, and there were no soldiers fighting, and only the dead and wounded were killed. Soon the imperial city was captured, the young king was killed, the dynasty fell, and the Western Regions occupied the land. ”
Li Junqi tightly locked his brows, according to his inference, this young child should be the little prince, and the person who assisted him was Prime Minister Lund, could this be something that would happen in the future? Which mansion was destroyed by the fire?!
"What else did you find?" Li Junqi asked coldly.
The amorous woman pointed to a wall next to her and said slowly, "This picture seems to be another ending, a piece of jade pendant, divided into two, half of which is in the hands of a woman, and the other half is in the hands of a man.
Four people competed for the throne, and one of them was very small and looked like the emperor in the previous picture. He was the first to lose, followed by the defeat of another man, then two men were crowned kings at the same time, and finally one of them was killed, and the other became the true emperor, and he was the man with the jade pendant. It's a pity that I didn't tell about the other half of the jade pendant woman, I don't know if it's joy or sorrow. ”
Jade pendant?
Divided......
Li Junqi thought of the half jade pendant hanging around his neck, wasn't it the same as Tang Anxia!? He crossed over that day and arrived in this world, and it was with this piece of jade pendant that he had an incredible experience.
So...... In the end, he is the king who rules the country!? This is too exaggerated, he never thought that one day he would inherit the throne! Sitting on the country! All he thought about was the glory, wealth, peace, and peace of the prince's palace and the general's mansion. How is it possible to become an emperor?
Of course, Ziyu didn't know about Yu Pei, only Li Junqi and Tang Anxia, and the maid Fang Yan knew about it.
Ziyu asked suspiciously, "Strange! There are only three princes under the emperor's knees, why are there four people vying for the throne? Is there still one who hasn't appeared? This thing may not be accurate! ”
The woman shook her head, "The little woman doesn't know. ”
Li Junqi looked at the other two walls, which were also painted with strange patterns, similar to some secret technique, and asked curiously, "What are these?" Tell me about it. ”
The woman pursed her rosy and full lips, her tone was slightly helpless, and she said apologetically, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, wait a little longer, the little woman's skills are limited, and she can only read the scriptures on the southeast wall." As for the two northwest walls, I'm afraid it will take a while to study it, and when the little woman figures it out, she will definitely tell Her Highness the truth. ”
Li Junqi didn't embarrass her, her unruly cheeks were as cold as heaven and man, and her tone was faint, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Tourmaline girl!" You have come from all the way from the Western Regions, and you are traveling all the way, so it is better to stay in the inn for a few days. ”
"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the little woman is proficient in all kinds of secret techniques in the Western Regions, she is home to the four seas, she settled in the western suburbs for a few days, and met His Royal Highness by chance, it is fate, I can get His Highness's trust, and take the little girl to study the scriptures, and I am extremely pampered! The two little women have already received it, and they don't dare to bother Your Highness anymore! ”
"There are still many places to ask you for help in the future, you can live with peace of mind, and this king will not treat you badly." Li Junqi warmly invited.
Without waiting for Tourmaline to refuse, Li Junqi instructed Ziyu, "You take the tourmaline girl, book her the best room, and instruct the store to absolutely ensure her safety and not be lazy." ”
"Yes, Tourmaline Girl, please!" Ziyu led the tourmaline out of the basement one after the other.
This remote inn was originally built by the regent to entertain guests from afar.
After all, he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and he knows many close friends, and they come to the imperial city to play as guests, one of which is inconvenient to be placed in the palace, so as not to be discussed by the courtiers, saying something that is not there, causing the emperor's suspicion.
Second, they all came quietly and left quietly, not wanting to make a big noise everywhere and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, there are famous inns in the imperial city, places frequented by dignitaries and nobles for a long time, so naturally they can't go.
So, the regent built this inn, in the most corner of the imperial city, with an ordinary appearance, ordinary people, and occasionally some passing businessmen.
Fortunately, neither the emperor nor the prime minister knew about the existence of this place, and after the regent was killed, this place survived. The basement was built to prevent anyone from noticing, so that important close friends could hide in the basement and escape.
I don't know when it started, the soil on the basement walls fell little by little, and then it became a large area. The shopkeeper thought that it was dark and damp and that there was no sunlight all year round, which led to this phenomenon, but they never imagined that the walls of the basement would reveal many strange scriptures.
The store couldn't understand it, so he had to report it to Li Junqi and ask him to take a look. On weekdays, Li Junqi doesn't come, for fear of attracting attention.
Ziyu said that these scriptures seem to be the pattern of the country of the Western Regions.
The Land of the Western Regions is known as the birthplace of arcane arts, and it has many things that ordinary people can't understand.
Li Junqi originally planned to wait until he got rid of the prime minister, settled the competition for the harem of the former dynasty, and ensured the safety of Prince Wen's Mansion and the General's Mansion, he personally went to the country of the Western Regions to find a talented person who knew the secret arts, and brought him back to study it.
As a result, in the days when I was investigating the prime minister in the western suburbs, I met a woman in strange clothes, and she came from a remote place at first glance.
She and Li Junqi live in the same inn. A stout man took a fancy to her beauty and approached her and did something to her.
The woman just raised her hand and lightly tapped the tip of the man's nose, only to see that the stout man was bleeding from his seven orifices as if he had been poisoned, and fell to the ground and died.
This scene successfully attracted Li Junqi's attention, and he was very sure that the woman was not poisoned and did not use a hidden weapon.
So, Li Junqi talked to the woman politely, and revealed his true identity, and sincerely invited the woman to come to the imperial city.
The woman's name is Tourmaline, and she is a warlock in the country of the Western Regions, who travels all over the world and cultivates her skills. She was curious about the scriptures in the basement of the inn and decided to take a look.
Li Junqi gave her a token of Prince Wen's mansion and asked her to set off first, go to the inn to stay for a while, and wait for her triumphant return.
Just in case, Li Junqi secretly sent seven dead soldiers and seven secret guards to secretly follow her all the way. On the one hand, it is to ensure her safety, and on the other hand, if she is a traitor, or after reading the contents of the basement, she secretly escapes, Li Junqi orders the dead soldiers and secret guards to kill without mercy, and absolutely leave no one alive.
Fortunately, Tourmaline stayed in the inn honestly, except for holding the palace token and going to the basement to take a look, he didn't even take a step towards the door of the inn, and he was really sensible and obedient.
Li Junqi stared at the pattern on the southeast wall, recalling all the strange things that happened when he just came to this world, as well as Tang Anxia's strong reaction, is it ...... Is the fire the Tang family? The dynasty of the previous life suffered a demise, which led to his time travel in this life.
So the jade pendant was broken into two halves, and Tang Anxia and him each held half of it, so in this way, did he really come to be the emperor?
Do Tang Anxia know all these truths, everything that happened in his previous life?
Could it be that she knew everything and didn't tell herself frankly?
Li Junqi decided for the first time that he wanted to test Tang Anxia.
……
Bright Moon Hall.
The arrival of Lund and Manwen surprised the subordinates, and they didn't dare to stop them easily, so they had to run quickly to tell them.
"Moon Princess! Oh no! The Prime Minister is here! And the princess of the little prince! ”
Mingyue lazily stood up from the soft couch, patted the slight folds of her skirt a few times, and her tone was as calm as water, "I knew that Jing Guiren's cheap maid would move the rescuers, except for the prime minister, she couldn't find anyone to help!" ”
The personal maid Zi Chen had a sad face, "Princess, what should we do?" ”
Mingyue's charming face did not show any tiredness or fear, and she said unhurriedly, "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, will my eldest princess of the royal family still be afraid of a courtier?" ”
After that, he swaggered to the main hall, and saw that Lund and Manwen were already waiting there, and Yingying Yanyan smiled and said, "Oh, what kind of wind is blowing?" The Prime Minister will come to my Bright Moon Palace? ”
Lund arched his hand and said, "The old minister has seen the princess, I haven't seen her for a long time, the princess looks very good, it can be seen that there will be happy events soon!" ”
"Oh? The prime minister also divination? Mingyue jokingly mocked, and a pair of Danfeng eyes smiled like a crescent moon on the horizon, "So, please tell me about it, what kind of happy event is it?" Hongu is very curious! ”
Then, Mingyue raised her face and motioned for Zichen to serve tea.
Lund sat on the official hat chair next to him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "The princess is also at the age of getting married, and she should marry her sweetheart soon." You are the emperor's favorite daughter, and now the emperor's body is not as good as day by day, and he will definitely look forward to the princess getting married as soon as possible, and having a home, so that he can feel at ease. ”
The smile on Mingyue's face stiffened slightly, "When will it be the prime minister's turn to interfere in the family affairs of this palace?!" The previous dynasty was the prime minister's world, and the harem is not under your control! ”
"Think twice, the princess, the old minister is for your own good, what if...... What happened to the emperor, princess, if you don't get married, you have to go to the royal temple to keep filial piety for three years, and when you come back, you will not be as majestic as you are now. If you want to find Ruyi Langjun again, it will inevitably be even more difficult. The old minister is loyal, and please understand! ”
Lund said bitterly, with righteous words, and he really thought about Mingyue.
Mingyue didn't answer immediately, she carefully calculated what Lund meant, if the emperor died, she would inevitably keep filial piety, and when the time came, how could she know Li Junqi's situation?! Once a son of heaven and a courtier, who knew that Li Junqi stayed in the imperial city at that time? Or is it like the eldest prince, sent to the border to be a prince?
Lund saw through Mingyue's thoughts, and said, "Princess! What are your plans, of course the old minister does not dare to interfere. It's just that now you have to think about lifelong events, don't be like the little prince! He's just a yellow-haired kid, where do you know the rules of a princess!? You have to work hard with him, so it's better to plan for yourself early.
The little prince is the emperor's heir, if you treat him well, maybe he will help the princess in the future. You must know that without the emperor's backer, your status will be much worse than before, and your royal brother and brother will be your next dependent.
Of course, if the princess marries a good husband, it is also a good destination. The old minister knows that you have secretly enveloped many courtiers, but they are more afraid of the princess than loyal, so please ask the princess to plan for her own future! ”
Mingyue raised her eyes and looked at Lund coldly, secretly scolding this treacherous and cunning thing in her heart! Even what Hongu has done for so many years is clear!
No wonder he has never been able to find out the handle and mistakes of the prime minister, it turns out that he has already taken precautions!
Lund knew about the Bright Moon Palace's methods a few years ago.
Mingyue raised a guard named Eagle. Send them to secretly investigate the ministers of the court, catch their handles, take the opportunity to control them, obey the princess's orders, and if there are disobedient people, they will shake out the ugly and wrong things, and make the courtiers ruined.
Originally, the ministers didn't believe it, but it wasn't until the two courtiers really died from the princess's methods that they began to be afraid and didn't dare to disobey the princess.
Using this method, Mingyue attracted a group of people in the harem, they nodded to Mingyue on the surface, and did things for her, but behind the scenes, they were very angry, because the emperor's eldest princess, the only favorite daughter, did not dare to sue the emperor, and endured it so far.
