Chapter 292: Looming

Because it was to play in the Imperial Garden, Li Yuan and the others were all light and simple, and there was no huge guard of honor.

When Li Yuan arrived with Yuwen Lingxin, Guanyin and others, the palace province had already set up a tent in the open space in the cherry orchard, and the guards were on guard outside the imperial garden.

In the cherry orchard, there were only Li Yuan, Yuwen Lingxin, Guanyin and six children, as well as some close servants.

------

Yuwen Lingxin and Guanyin first led a few children to greet Li Yuan.

Then, the whole family sat on the ground in the tent, and Li Yuan, Yuwen Lingxin, Guanyin and the children talked affectionately.

The tent is covered with felt mats, drinks, and food, giving people a camping feeling.

------

Li Chengqian is six years old, Li Tai and Li Yuanjia are both five years old, Huainan princess Li Chengxia and Changle county lord Li Lizhen are four years old, and the nineteenth prince Li Lingkui is not yet one year old, so he has to be held.

A few older children, attracted by the red and bright cherries in the garden, have already flown outside the tent.

Li Chengqian, Li Tai, and Li Yuanjia are slightly older, and under the teaching of their mother and the Royal Academy, they have learned etiquette.

Huainan princesses Li Chengxia and Li Lizhi are relatively young, although they also understand some etiquette, they still can't sit still.

------

Li Li saw that her mother Guanyin had been talking to Ah Weng, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her little face and asked Guanyin who was sitting next to her softly, "Ah Niang, when are we going to pick cherries?"

Guanyin put her arm around her, looked at Li Lizhi with a smile, and comforted, "Good, don't worry."

Li Yuan understood the children's minds very well, and said to Guanyin and Yuwen Lingxin, "Let the children play happily, let's talk while picking cherries."

------

Although the children are young, they all know that Li Yuan is the emperor, because they are not often with Li Yuan, they are a little reserved when they see him, unlike ordinary children who are as close to their fathers and grandfathers.

Li Yuan stood up and walked out of the tent in the lead, and Guanyin and Yuwen Lingxin led the child to follow behind.

When they got outside, Guanyin and Yuwen Lingxin respectively instructed the children's nurses and the palace maids to take a few children to pick cherries.

------

When the children left Li Yuan, Guanyin, and Yuwen Lingxin, they regained their nature and began to chatter and laugh together, cheering and rejoicing one by one.

In an instant, several children were hidden in the cherry forest with the nurse and the palace maid, and although they could not be seen, there was a cheerful laugh from time to time.

------

Guanyin and Yuwen Lingxin also took the prepared bamboo sticks and bamboo poles tied with iron hooks, and accompanied Li Yuan to pick cherries.

Kids have kids' fun, and adults have topics that adults care about.

Li Yuan held a bamboo pole with a hook in his right hand, hooked a branch full of cherries, and gently bent the branch.

Then hold the tip of the branch with your left hand, hand the bamboo pole to Yuwen Lingxin, and free your right hand to pick the cherries on the branch.

------

Li Yuan put the cherries he picked into the bamboo flute served by Guanyin, and asked Guanyin with a smile, "Awu, your small character is Guanyin, and you are a jade girl who serves Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you believe in Buddhism?"

He stopped picking cherries and looked at Guanyin with a smile, waiting for Guanyin's answer.

Guanyin smiled and said, "Ah Wan doesn't believe in Buddhism, only in those practical scriptures."

------

Li Yuan asked with interest, "What kind of classics are they all practical about?"

Guanyin brought the bamboo flute to Li Yuan, "Grandpa will taste it first, let's walk slowly."

Li Yuan pinched a few cherries from the bamboo pipe, turned around and walked forward slowly, Guanyin staggered half of her body and followed Li Yuan's side.

------

Guanyin replied to Li Yuan's question, "Ah Wan has been reading scriptures and history since she was a child, and she has studied the "Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in the Book of Scriptures", "Guiguzi" and the Art of War."

"Those who believe in Buddhism are resigned to fate, believing that fate is arranged by God; What she believes is that she will do her best to obey the destiny of heaven, do what she wants to do, and in the end, no matter what success or failure, she will have no regrets in her heart."

"Those who believe in Buddhism are waiting for the gift of God; Auntie takes the initiative to act, plan and then act."

"Just like Grandpa shoots an arrow, choose the target first, gather the strength after finding the target, draw the bow, aim, and wait for the best time to shoot the arrow. After the arrow is fired, there is no turning back, and there is no regret for hitting or not."

------

Li Yuan nodded while listening, he stopped, turned to look at Guanyin, "Grandpa is reasonable, aren't you afraid that Grandpa will say that you use conspiracy?"

Guanyin replied calmly, "Whether it is a conspiracy or not depends on everyone's position. Like-minded people will say that Ah Wan is resourceful, and opponents will say that Ah Wan is conspiring."

------

Li Yuan laughed and said, "Grandpa said it well, Grandpa is really afraid of you and Erlang, and will treat Grandpa as an opponent."

Guanyin smiled suddenly, "Don't you dare, my methods are all small tricks in Grandpa's eyes. Grandpa has been following Grandpa for more than ten years, what did Brother Shimin and I do, how could I escape Grandpa's eyes?"

Li Yuan sighed, "It's because you two have been with Grandpa for the longest time that you know how difficult Grandpa is. In the past, Grandpa had something to do, but he could ask you for advice, but now he can't, and now the two of you have to avoid suspicion."

Guanyin bowed her knees to Li Yuan, and said solemnly, "Grandpa, don't worry, Brother Shimin and Grandpa won't cause trouble to Grandpa."

Li Yuan nodded meaningfully, as if they had understood what each other was thinking.

------

After picking cherries, Li Yuan played with the children for an hour, taking this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with the children, and then returned to the palace separately.

Although Li Yuan felt comfortable in his heart, he was still thinking about what he had arranged for Zifu to do.

He asked people to call Zifu, leaving her alone in the hall to reply.

-------

Zifu brought fragrant tea, knelt down beside several cases, poured tea for Li Yuan, and then listened to Li Yuan's questioning.

Li Yuan asked Zifu, "What I asked you to inquire about can have a result."

Zifu had a difficult look on her face, and replied cautiously, "The slave didn't dare to ask openly, but just inquired privately. The palace people in the East Palace are very knowledgeable about the rules, and their tone is very strict, and they usually don't talk about the affairs of the Prince's Mansion outside."

"The people in Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu's courtyard, the slaves and maids don't dare to ask more, for fear that the bad questions will cause Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu to be careful."

------

Li Yuan seemed a little dissatisfied, and he then asked Zifu, "Isn't there a result?"

Zifu replied timidly, "There are results, but they are all things that everyone knows."

Li Yuan said, "Tell me, see if I know?"

So Zifu will Li Jiancheng worship the king of Bishamen, the monk Falla often goes to the East Palace to teach Buddhism, it is rumored that Li Jiancheng is the incarnation of the king of Bishamen, Zheng Guanyin is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, etc., and made a report to Li Yuan.

------

Li Yuan listened to Zifu's report quietly and did not interject.

In the end, Zifu talked about Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu going to the East Palace to worship the Buddha, "Concubine Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu always go to the East Palace every three or five days, sometimes alone, sometimes two people go together."

"The slave maid also heard that now the king of Qi also believes in Buddhism, and he also goes to the Buddha hall of the East Palace every three or five times to burn incense."

"As for whether these things are true or not, the slave and maid have only heard about it, and there is no way to verify it."

------

Li Yuan had heard most of the things Zifu said among the harem concubines, but Li Yuanji believed in the Buddha and went to the East Palace to burn incense, and Li Yuan heard it for the first time.

Li Yuan is scheming, and in his memory, Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Yin Defei, and Zhang Jieyu have not said good things about Li Shimin in front of him for many years.

As Li Yuan's concubine, it is normal to say bad things about Li Shimin once or twice, but if you say it for a long time, and it echoes Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, it is not normal.

------

Now, as a result of Zifu's inquiry, these four people were connected to the Buddhist hall of the East Palace, and Li Yuan was basically able to conclude that the four of them had an unclear relationship.

Li Yuan's biggest characteristic is that he can calm down, he can not be impatient when he is alive and dead, although he has an idea in his heart about the matter between Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Yin Defei, and Zhang Jieyu, but he has nothing to do.

Li Yuan said calmly to Zifu, "It seems that King Qi is getting older and more sensible, and it is good to believe in Buddhism, so that you can restrain your mind."

------

In the end, Li Yuan picked up the fold on the case and said to Zifu, "You go and get busy, I will review the fold for a while."

Zifu added some tea to Li Yuanzhan, stood up, picked up the tray containing the tea set, bowed to Li Yuan and exited the hall.

------

The content of Zifu's report to Li Yuan was all discussed by Qin Lan with Zifu according to Guanyin's explanation.

Guanyin explained to Qin Lan that when Zifu reported to Li Yuan, she couldn't explain the matter too clearly, first, she couldn't expose the matter now, and second, Zifu explained everything clearly, which would arouse Li Yuan's suspicions.

If Zifu heard the matter clearly, Li Yuan would think, how can you, a female official in charge of the Shang Sleeping Bureau, be able to make the affairs of the East Palace so clear?

------

These things are not clear without a complete intelligence network.

If Li Yuan asked where Zifu had heard about it and who told her, Zifu would not be able to answer.

If Zifu didn't tell Li Yuan the source of the news, Li Yuan would suspect that Zifu had ulterior motives and was disloyal to him.

If Zifu told Li Yuan the source of the news, the "Hedong Six Women" would be exposed in front of Li Yuan.

Therefore, Zifu can only be specious when she reports to Li Yuan, there are shadows of Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji, Yin Defei, and Zhang Jieyu colluding with each other, but she can't catch it.

------

This year, Li Yuan has decided that he will no longer go out of Chang'an to escape the summer, and he will take advantage of his health to settle the things behind him.

He will have a series of big moves in the coming months.
