Chapter Ninety-Six: The Way of Heaven (Three Watches)
When the Queen Mother married Su Yu and Ji Yuan, she actually wanted to find Master Jingyi, but he was not in the capital at that time.
There was still a little mist in the mountains that had not dissipated, and it was slightly moist on the man's cloak.
In order to avoid people's eyes, Ji Yuan went up from the mountain gate behind him, and a little monk was standing there waiting early. "Donor, Master has been waiting for a long time."
"The Master knows I'm coming?"
"Squeak", the wooden door let out a muffled snort. While guiding the way, the little monk said, "Master only told the little monk that I am afraid that some distinguished guests are coming to the door today." asked the little monk to wait for the distinguished guests here, and the side did not elaborate. β
Quiet and quiet, outside the meditation room is also tall and verdant ancient trees, in the air, sandalwood and the fragrance of plants and trees are intertwined.
It makes people consciously hold their breath and dare not speak loudly.
"Donor, please." The little monk turned sideways, as if to stop there.
"There's Master Lao."
The little monk recited the Buddha's name and walked away slowly. Lie Zhan and the others were also outside the courtyard and did not enter.
"Here we are." Shizuichi was still wearing the somewhat worn robe.
Ji Yuan didn't see it, and poured himself a cup of tea.
"You know I'm coming."
"People with knots will naturally come. Outside of the truly transcendent things, you don't have to step into this empty door. Shizuichi landed the white child on the chessboard and smiled.
"The master might as well speak up." Ji Yuan picked up the sunspot and landed a point.
When I looked at it, my eyes lit up. "Good down."
"Your Highness's heart knot is nothing more than two things, the same is a red dust affair, and the same is the life of the people in this world."
"What's the explanation?"
"There is no solution. Break off love, and people return to their souls. Or, landslides and earth cracks, changing dynasties. β
In the last eight words, when I thought quietly, my heart was also trembling.
Ji Yuan was silent for a while.
Shizuichi refilled his tea.
"There was no solution in the past, but there is no solution now."
"I want to hear about it." Ji Yuan didn't have the heart to play chess for a while.
"On that day, Lao Wei actually looked at the lives of two women, and there was a woman who was a phoenix."
"Who is it?"
"If nothing happens, it should be His Highness's fiancΓ©e, the girl of the Su family."
"What's the change?"
"The person destined by His Highness is not the woman with the life of a phoenix."
If you want to become a true dragon emperor, you must give up your beloved. If you refuse to break off your love, you will give up that supreme position. It is fate.
Ji Yuan didn't reply, looked at the clear yellow tea soup, and looked at it for a while.
"Your Highness, do you want the supreme position, or the one who is destined?"
Ji Yuan's thoughts were complicated, as if he had returned to the summer of many years ago, "Brother Prince, do you want to eat sugar?" β
The girl's smile was still yesterday.
When he turned around, the tea soup was out of heat.
"How can a king be a good king when he is out of love?" Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "I'm just afraid that I'm guilty and it's difficult to face the ancestors." β
Quietly clasping his hands together and peeking into the heavens is really a move to lose his life. It's really a cause and effect.
"If I have no way, I don't want this world, even if I don't let others, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep." Ji Yuan said in a deep voice, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face, "But I am conscientious and conscientious, and I dare not be ashamed of the world." Why did the master say that it was fate? β
"Your Highness is loyal, filial, benevolent, and righteous." Jing Yi sighed, "If the first emperor is alive, he will also be satisfied." β
"Master?" Ji Yuan was puzzled.
"It was really an unsolvable problem before." Jing Yi smiled slightly, "It's just that the one who has the phoenix life now is not the previous girl of the Su family." β
"What does the master mean?"
"Miss Huo is indescribably expensive, she was a fog before, but now it is gradually becoming real." Jing Yi clasped his hands together, "It's just that whether you can be the phoenix lord of the world depends on Your Highness." β
"I hope the master will guide you."
"The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and it will be nine days."
Jing looked at Ji Yuan's realization, "What Your Highness wants to do, just do it." But for the people of the world, do not seek to be famous. β
The last two sentences are what Ji Yuan said when he was playing with him. He slowly got up from the couch, "The flowers planted by the old man are going to be watered, Your Highness is at your own disposal." β
"Thank you, Master."
Jing Yi left with a smile, what is the way of heaven, he has realized his life, traveled all over the country, and has not understood the mysteries. It's just that love and hate are obsessed, chasing fame and fortune, maybe they still can't escape the retribution of good and evil, and the reincarnation of cause and effect.
Buddha does not cross, everyone crosses by themselves.
Ji Yuan looked at the tea soup in the inner room for a long time, suddenly smiled, and drank it all, the initial bitterness, and the aftertaste was sweet.
The man laughed heartily and strode out of the meteor, he was freshly dressed and angry, but for the people of the world, he did not seek fame.
"Master?"
"Tell the head of the household to come to the East Palace to see Gu immediately."
"Yes."
The mist is gone, and the mountains are light.
The sun gradually came out, and the sun made people's heads dizzy, and Lord Tobe Shangshujing waited here all morning, and beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead, submerged into the tightly knit official uniform, and soaked his back.
"Lord Jing. Please. β
"Thank you." Master Jing was afraid that his face would be in trouble, so he staggered a few steps, took a square towel from his sleeve, gently wiped the sweat on his head, and put the sweat towel back.
"I don't know ...... Your Highness" He wanted to ask Ji Yuan how he was feeling, but swallowed his words back.
Facing Liezhan's confused face, Jing Shangshu explained, "Nothing to do. β
The attendant of the East Palace has always had a very tight mouth, and he is afraid that he will not tell him easily. It's just that Jing Shangshu is really worried in his heart, where did the money allocated by the court go, this has to explain to him, hey.
In the midst of the entanglement, I suddenly realized that it had arrived.
"Lord Jing, Your Highness is waiting for you inside."
"There is labor."
"I don't dare."
Jing Shangshu stabilized his mind and walked in calmly.
Liezhan gently closed the door.
"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Even with his mental preparations, Jing Shangshu's voice was still a little imperceptibly nervous.
As if he hadn't heard, Ji Yuan looked at the case to himself.
For a moment there was just silence.
The sound of the pen resting on the pen stand was particularly crisp, and it also made Jing Shangshu's heart tighten.
"Your Highness."
"Master Jing, have you ever eaten grain bran?"
"Minister, I haven't tasted it." Jing Shangshu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the opening statement to be like this.
"The earth dragon of Shu was born, there was a great famine, and the disaster relief money of the imperial court was eaten by villains with ulterior motives." Ji Yuan said coldly, "The people don't have anything to eat, they don't have to live, and those who feed their hunger with grain bran are already considered good. β
"Lord Jing is clothed and fed, how do you know the suffering of the people in front of you?"
"The minister is frightened, the minister is ......" Jing Shangshu buried his body on the ground, shaking like chaff.
......It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that the power of officials is like a net, offending this is like offending that, each of them is intertwined, and they cover each other.
If he says this person today, tomorrow the family will probably be torn apart and swallowed alive!
But Jing Shangshu looked up at Ji Yuan like a killing god again, and he was even more scared in his heart, if he didn't say it today, I am afraid that he would also die, it is difficult to be an official, and it is even more difficult to be a household Shangshu.
"Is there something unspeakable about Lord Jing?"
"I don't dare."
"The father and the emperor issued an edict for their own crimes, and the imperial grandmother and queen mother set an example by leading the six palaces to be frugal and reduce expenses." Ji Yuan stared at him, "Even the people of the capital, there are many fundraisers. β
"You are greedy for the money of the treasury! The money saved by the royal family, you greedy! Even the money raised by the people spontaneously, you are still greedy! β
"The moth of the country, the thief of Great Xia!"
"Your Highness!" Jing Shangshu fell to the ground and shouted, "The minister will never dare to have such a thief's heart." β
"Lord Jing dares to swear by his wife and children, hasn't he taken a penny?"
"Minister...... The minister ...... "Jing Shangshu fears ghosts and gods, the youngest grandson is only six years old, he doesn't dare."
"You don't want to say, Lone also knows the reason."
These people, all rotten in their bones, ventilate each other and cover each other. Officials protect each other, corruption and corruption!
However, Ji Yuanyuan didn't plan to serve them here, and the account had to be calculated slowly.
"If they can forsake you today, they will forsake one another tomorrow. Lonely is not in a hurry, lonely is waiting. β
I have to take stock of my family property so that I can raid your house, right?
