Chapter 202: The Gambling Covenant of the Dragon King of Jinghe

Li Shimin was confused and ethereal, and seemed to have left the Taiji Palace, out of the Daming Palace, and arrived at a temple. He looked around left and right without seeing the palace maids and eunuchs, looked at the intersection of the gate and the court, and did not see the guards, and shouted angrily: "Who is driving today?" Can there be a guard? ”

When the words fell, no one answered, Li Shimin was shocked, walked to a high platform, looked into the distance, and finally saw no one, and hesitated: "Where have I been?" ”

"Your Majesty, is this in a dream?"

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this, looked around, but only heard his voice and couldn't see him, and asked, "Who is talking?" ”

"Poor monk Tang Sanzang."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Tang Sanzang? Oh yes, I remembered, it was the monk who went to Tianzhu five years ago and asked, "Why are you here?" Why did I dream of you again? ”

"Brother Huang, the poor monk passed by the Heishui River, heard about a secret matter, and was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he cast a spell and met in a dream."

When Li Shimin heard this, a wave of anger rose, and he said in his heart: "Such a bold monk, a small envoy, dare to call me the imperial brother, huh...... Like, when he was leaving...... Yes, at that time, in order to buy people's hearts, I made him do my best, and I did say that I would become brothers with him. Hmph, I don't know how thick the sky is, if you give a little sunshine, you will be brilliant, you really dare to call me Brother Huangdi! If you want to say that, I will also call his father Chen Guangrui godfather! ”

Li Shimin shouted: "How dare you disturb my dreams? Why don't you show up? ”

Sanzang said: "I am not very familiar with the spell, I can't show up, Your Majesty, wait a minute, I'm casting a spell to try." ”

After that, he didn't speak for a long time, and when Li Shimin and the others were impatient, a Buddha light exploded, and a Buddha-like monk walked out.

Li Shimin looked through the Buddha Hui and saw Sanzang's appearance, so he put aside the dusty memory in his heart, and said with a kind face: "That monk...... Royal brother, it's really you. ”

Sanzang performed a Buddhist ritual and said, "Tonight, I rushed to dream, because I had an important matter to ask. ”

Li Shimin was skeptical and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sanzang said: "The poor monk passed through the Heishui River in Xiniuhezhou yesterday, saw the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe, and talked about a past. ”

"Wait."

Li Shimin was shocked, for him, this Jinghe Dragon King has a much deeper memory than the Sanzang monk, and shouted: "Is his son going to take revenge?" ”

Hearing his words, Sanzang exclaimed, "Your Majesty really knows the Dragon King of Jinghe. ”

Li Shimin did not respond, but only asked: 'Does his son want to come for revenge?' ’

Sanzang said with relief: "Definitely." The dragon treated us very politely, and definitely did not come to seek revenge, so Your Majesty does not have to worry. ”

"That's good! That's good! Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief.

Sanzang said again: "Since Your Majesty knows the Dragon King of Jinghe, it seems that he also knows about his gambling contract with Yuan Shoucheng, and knows about Wei Zheng's beheading in the heavens?" ”

Li Shimin was full of doubts, the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe and his resurrection from the dead were all top secrets of the royal family, except for a few cronies, it was impossible for outsiders to know, if the officials and people of the Tang Dynasty knew that they had died, there would definitely be chaos again.

Thinking of this, he said sharply: "Royal brother." You know about the beheading of the Jinghe Dragon King and the Soul of the Underworld, but you must not spread it? ”

Sanzang was shocked when he heard this: "What? Your Majesty once wandered to the underworld? ”

Li Shimin was stunned, good guy, he said the wrong thing!

Sanzang didn't wait for Li Shimin to speak, and asked: "The poor monk just noticed that there was a conspiracy in the matter of the Dragon King of Jinghe and was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he tried to come back and tell him." Don't want Your Majesty to ever suffer? I don't know if this matter has been resolved, will there be any disasters in the future? ”

Li Shimin hesitated: "Probably not." ”

Sanzang hurriedly said: "The Dragon King of Najing River has 9 sons, I don't know what they mean, I don't know what plans Wei Zheng, Yuan Shoucheng and others have, and I don't know if there are other villains." I also hope that Your Majesty will tell me about the events of the year, and the poor monk will infer one or two inferences to Your Majesty. ”

Li Shimin saw that this monk was full of anxiety, not like a fake, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The things of the past are strange, and no one will believe it if ordinary people say it. Since the royal brother has already known the son of the Dragon King of Jinghe, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it. ”

Sanzang nodded.

Li Shimin continued:

"It was the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, I was dreaming of going out of the palace gate, stepping into the moon, and suddenly saw a dragon king descending from the clouds, standing on the ground in the form of a human, and kneeling down to worship me in a few steps. Cry out, 'Your Majesty, save me.' ’

I asked him who he was, Dragon King Yun, I was a real dragon, he was a karmic dragon. Because of the violation of the rules of heaven, Wei Zheng should go to the heavens on the second day to behead him, so he came to beg me, hoping that I would save him!

I said that since Wei Zheng was imprisoned, I could save him. He rejoiced and thanked him.

When I woke up from my dream, I thought about it in my heart. At five drums and three o'clock, the court was set up, and two groups of civil and military officials were gathered, but Wei Zheng was not seen, and he immediately passed the decree to announce Wei Zheng's entry into the court.

Wei Zheng was already ready for the heavens, and he did not dare to disobey Chi Zhen's order, so he had to enter the court to pay respects. I summoned Wei Zheng to Jinluan, summoned him to the palace, and first discussed the strategy of Anbang and the strategy of determining the country. Towards the end of the end and the beginning of the afternoon, the people of the palace took the big chess and played with him. Wei Zheng didn't dare to get out, so he had to thank him and play against me.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, before the end of the game, Wei Zheng suddenly crouched on the side of the desk, snoring and sleeping. I let him fall asleep, let alone call. After a short time, Wei Zheng woke up and prostrated himself in the tunnel, hoping to forgive him for the sin of the slow king.

I naturally forgave him for his sins, and I had to chat with him to drag him down, but Qin Shubao, Xu Maogong and others hurriedly entered the palace, throwing a bloody dragon head in front of me, and the dragon head fell from the clouds.

When Wei Zheng heard this, he turned around and kowtowed, saying that he had been killed in a dream.

Since then, I have been full of guilt, fatigue, and physical restlessness. At the second watch of the night, when I was sleeping in a hazy room, I saw the Dragon King of the Jing River again, holding a bloody head, and shouted: 'King Tang will return my life!' Give me my life! You promised to save me last night, why did the anti-propagandists come to kill me at dawn? You come out! I'll go with you to Yan Jun to fold and discern! ’”

Sanzang listened quietly for a long time and interjected:

"This Jinghe Dragon King doesn't know what to do, he begs someone to do something, and it is already a favor for others to accept it, so why did he come to His Majesty to ask for his life?"

Li Shimin sighed and continued: "Who said it wasn't? ”

Sanzang asked, "What happened?" ”

Li Shimin said again:

"He grabbed me and yelled, I couldn't speak, I only sweated all over my body. At that inseparable time, I saw that the fragrant clouds were swirling in the south, and the colorful mist was fluttering, and a Jurchen person stepped forward, waved the willow branch with his hand, and the dragon of the Jinghe River rolled three times, and the dragon cried sadly, and fled to the northwest. It turns out that this is Guanyin Bodhisattva, leading the Buddha's will to go to the east to find the scriptures, this lives in the land temple of Chang'an City, and hears the Devil Cry God at night, and comes to drink the dragon of retirement and save my life. ”

Sanzang was shocked when he heard this: "There is still something about Guanyin Bodhisattva here?" ”
