Chapter 14 Please be virtuous and green sheep

"Ananda, do you have eyebrows?"

Li Zhi has been in the palace for more than half a month, except for greeting Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wujian every day, he is staying in his "Lizheng Palace".

However, now Li Zhi's court life is not boring, but there is an eldest grandson Huanting next to him.

Since the last "assassination" incident, the eldest grandson Huanting has not only played the role of "maid" and "scholar", but also has become Li Zhi's daily sparring partner.

Li Zhi lives comfortably there, but Li Shimin is busy here, he has always been strong, how can he tolerate someone making trouble under his nose?

However, neither the "Lijingmen" nor the men sent by Zhang Ananda could find any new clues, and it seemed that there was really no other accomplice except for the dead little eunuch and the four assassins.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is incompetent, within a hundred miles of Chang'an City, he has been carefully searched several times, and he still has no clue."

"Moreover, there is no shortage of bows and arrows in the East Palace, and on the side of the Wei Palace, the old slave can basically judge that it is impossible to meddle in this matter at all, so he ......"

After more than half a month of investigation, he did not find any clues involved in the case, but excluded the first two suspects, which made Zhang Ananda very depressed.

Why didn't Li Shimin suffer from this?

As the person with the highest status in the Tang Dynasty, the power he controls is stronger, so he can contact or know more external forces.

If it is really a struggle for the throne between those sons, although Li Shimin is sad, he can basically control it.

Now, the results of all aspects made him feel a little powerless, and even a little fear in it, and he seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy.

"Forget it, I haven't found out for so long, and I don't have to waste any more time, if King Jin goes out of the palace again in the future, there will be at least two or more congenital masters to protect him secretly."

Li Shimin was also a little helpless, if it was really done by those hidden sects, he might not be able to stop it, did he want to let the great master of the "martial arts god" go to protect the pheasant slave?

The more Li Shimin thought about this matter, the more bored he became, so he simply took advantage of the fact that the weather was still early and left the palace in micro-clothes, accompanied only by Zhang Ananda.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?"

Out of the Suzaku Gate to the south, after the "Kaihuafang" turned to the east, saw that the "East Market" again, and then went forward, about to go out of the "Chunming Gate" to the outskirts of the city, Zhang Ananda couldn't help but ask.

"I was a little bored in my chest, and I wanted to ask for a hexagram in the 'Qingyang View'."

Hearing Li Shimin say this, Zhang Ananda understood that this was to find the master who lived in the "Qingyang View" to solve his worries.

"Qingyang View" is ten miles east of Chang'an City, this is a very inconspicuous small Taoist temple, few people come on weekdays, Li Shimin and the two arrived when it was already past noon.

As soon as the two of them got off the horse, the courtyard door that was originally closed in the "Qingyang View" was opened with a "squeak", and a handsome Taoist boy in a green coat and a green hat walked out of it.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the family teacher said that there are distinguished guests coming to the door, and the special order trail is waiting here, I guess it is the two of you who are waiting——"

The boy snorted and recited the Dharma horn, staring intently at the outsiders.

"Haha, Daochang Yuan is really a master in the world, and he asked the little fairy child to go and tell him, and said that Li Er of the Tang Dynasty came to pay a visit——"

In front of these real masters, Li Shimin has never taken any shelf, not to mention that the one who lives inside has also given himself guidance back then.

"The master once said, please come in directly when the distinguished guests arrive, no need to pass through, please come with me."

The Taoist boy in Tsing Yi led the way in front, Li Shimin and Zhang Ananda followed one after the other, and the two war horses were tied to the stakes outside the gate.

The "Qingyang View" is not very big, and there are two layers of yards before and after.

Qiannan Kun North, past the mountain gate, in the center is a "Sanqing Palace", enshrined in the Taoist Sanqing Tianzun.

There are also side halls, guest halls, dining halls, etc., and the backyard is the living and practicing place of the Taoist priests in the view, and outsiders generally will not let them pass.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Li Jushi has been absent for a long time-"

In front of the "Sanqing Palace", a Taoist with white hair was waiting there with a whisk in his hand, and when he saw Li Shimin's appearance clearly, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Haha, Yuan Zhenren has been absent for a long time, has this been for fifteen or six years, right? Some time ago, I heard that the real jade toe arrived in Chang'an, and the people of the world should have come to visit as soon as possible, but they were entangled in mundane affairs, so they dragged it out to today. ”

Without waiting for the old Taoist to come over, Li Shimin took two steps to the front and respectfully saluted the other party.

"Your Majesty can't be like this, you were a hidden dragon in the abyss back then, and now you are the supreme of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the world, how dare you accept this gift!"

Although the old Taoist chief said so, the old god was standing there on the ground and did not move.

This old Taoist priest is not someone else, it is Yuan Tiangang, the most prestigious phase master in the Tang Dynasty, and his name is not under Sun Simiao.

"Since you're here, the people of the world will first put incense on Sanqing Tianzun——"

"Sanqing Palace", as the name suggests, is naturally the Taoist Sanqing Tianzun, that is, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun.

Accompanied by Yuan Tiangang, Li Shimin respectfully put three incense sticks on Sanqing Tianzun, especially for the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, and was even more in awe.

According to legend, Taiqing Daode Tianzun is the Taishang Laojun who is familiar to the mortal world, and Li Tang has always claimed to be the descendant of Lao Tzu Li Er, and Li Er is one of the doppelgangers of Taishang Laojun.

In this way, this high-ranking Taiqing Daode Tianzun can also be regarded as Li Shimin's ancestor.

"Why did Your Majesty get to the 'Green Sheep View' of the poor road?"

After a visit, Yuan Tiangang invited Li Shimin to the guest hall on the side, and the little Taoist boy came to offer tea, while Zhang Ananda stayed outside the door.

"Has Yuan Zhenren ever counted the intentions of the people?"

Li Shimin did not rush to say the purpose of his trip, he was already in a complicated mood, which could not be explained in three or two sentences.

"This ...... Hey, let Your Majesty smile, more than ten years ago, His Majesty's life was originally poor and could still be calculated one or two, but when I saw His Majesty again, I found that His Majesty's life had changed greatly. ”

"The dragon qi above Your Majesty's head has actually risen by three zhang, and even the Golden Dragon of the Tang Dynasty's national fortune is a lot stronger, this is too unbelievable, and the poor Dao can't see through Your Majesty anymore......"

Yuan Tiangang was a little disappointed, as a physiognomy master, especially a person like him who had learned the "Qi Technique", he couldn't see through a mortal for the first time.

Li Shimin was stunned after hearing this, Yuan Tiangang was in his eyes, it was also the existence of a half-immortal body, and he said everything right, but he said these words today, and it should be on his body?

"Why did Yuan Zhenren say this? The people of the world are just ordinary people, even if they are emperors in the world, they only have a lifespan of more than a hundred years. ”

"If the people of the world choose again, maybe they won't take the road they have now, but it's better to go with the real people, and it will be better to cultivate immortals and practice the Tao for a lifetime."

I don't know if it's true or false, when Li Shimin said this, he looked at Yuan Tiangang very sincerely, and the corners of his eyes were already moist.

"Haha, why did Your Majesty do this little thing? Everyone has their own way to go, Your Majesty has become the lord of the Tang Dynasty and the emperor of the world, this is the will of God, how can it be disobeyed by man? ”

"Although Poor Dao can no longer see through His Majesty's life, it is much more noble than in the past, perhaps...... Haha, there are enough things to say today, and the secret of heaven must not be revealed-"

The afternoon sun, through the thick ginkgo tree in the courtyard, dappled into the living room, is shining on Li Shimin's face.

"Yuan Zhenren, there are indeed some things that the people of the world want to ask the real people for advice here......

In front of Yuan Tiangang, Li Shimin seemed to have completely withdrawn his precautions, and talked about the things that had happened over the years, especially those things that bothered his mind, in detail.

Li Shimin was saying, Yuan Tiangang listened carefully, and gently swayed twice with the whisk in his hand from time to time, which turned out to be maintaining the temperature of the tea in Li Shimin's cup.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, thank you for your trust, this tea is the 'Mengding' treasured by the poor Dao, Your Majesty can taste it and try it."

Yuan Tiangang was not in a hurry to solve Li Shimin's doubts, but picked up the teacup on the desk.

"Good tea, just such a small sip, Shimin seems to feel that his realm is a little loose, is it really fairy tea?"

Li Shimin is also an elegant person, the palace has a lot of treasures, and there are naturally not a few good teas, but it is far from being as refreshing and fragrant as the cup of "Mengding" in front of him.

"Haha, Xiancha? How can the poor road have that opportunity? However, this tea is also extraordinary, and the poor road has a few pieces of fate, and today the real dragon can show its treasure only when it comes here! ”

Yuan Tiangang didn't look like he was saying polite words, he took a small sip of "Mengding" tea there, and closed his eyes and meditated from time to time.

Li Shimin was infected by him, and he also learned the same, as if his body and mind were completely relaxed, and there was no boredom in his chest.

"I just listened to what His Majesty said, it's nothing more than some royal stories, but it's just mixed with some people behind the scenes who are stirring up the situation."

"The momentum of Datang's strong rise is irreversible, no matter how big a setback it encounters, it will only add some tribulations to Datang, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much."

"It's just that after listening to what Your Majesty said so much, Poor Dao carefully reflected on the meaning, it seems to be more or less related to His Royal Highness King Jin, right?"

Although Li Shimin's statement has taken out Li Zhi's "unusual" as much as possible, Yuan Tiangang still heard the clues.

"Haha, that's the ninth son of Shimin, named Li Zhi, whose name is Pheasant Slave, but it's a pity that he was born with a 'Heavenly Leaky Body', and he can't write or martial arts."

"Shimin came this time, in addition to wanting Yuan Zhenren to explain, the most important thing is to invite real people to join the 'Taishi Bureau' and set a certain feng shui for the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin was reluctant to say more about Li Zhi, and after drinking the "Mengding" tea, the boredom in his chest disappeared, and Li Shimin said the real purpose of the trip.

Although he had never seen Yuan Tiangang make a move, based on his intuition alone, Li Shimin concluded that this person must also be a master, and his realm was at least far above himself.

Although Datang is strong, if you meet a real master, you will still compete with the top combat power, and now in Chang'an City, there is only Li Jing who is a "martial arts god".

"This ...... Anyway, since His Majesty's destiny has changed, Datang's national fortune is inexplicably much stronger, and he simply re-enters the red dust and refines his body and heart. ”

Originally, Li Shimin didn't have much hope, but he just didn't want to miss this master, but he didn't expect to be invited, and the other party agreed directly.

"The people of the world thank the real person, if there is a real person entering the Tang Dynasty, he will be able to ensure that the Tang Dynasty is smooth and the country and the people are safe——"

Li Shimin hurriedly stood up from the futon, bowed to Yuan Tiangang again, and saluted respectfully.

Since ancient times, there must be an attitude of inviting virtuous people, and Li Shimin feels that he is slacking, what kind of great sage is this Yuan Daochang!

"Haha, Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, Your Majesty's safety alone is related to the well-being of tens of millions of Li Shu in the Tang Dynasty, there is a long way to go, and the poor road can be a little thin, which can be regarded as a kind of red dust experience."

Yuan Tiangang finally returned the salute and started a friendship between monarchs and ministers that had never existed.

……

East Palace, Prince's Mansion.

"Prince, I heard that there was a flood in Henan Province, and the request for relief has been sent to the 'Lizheng Palace', I wonder if His Highness is interested in fighting for it?"

It was Wei Ting, one of the right-hand men of the crown prince Li Chengqian, who spoke a few days ago, and when there was something in the family a few days ago, he deliberately took leave to go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, so he missed a good show.

No, as soon as he came back, he came to the East Palace, and as soon as he came, he made a suggestion to Li Chengqian.

It is good to say that it is good to win the "relief and disaster relief" mission, in fact, he wants to profit from it, this kind of good opportunity to make "national trouble", Wei Ting and an old gate valve naturally do not want to miss it.

"Lone has also heard about this matter, and the father intends to let the fourth brother take over this matter, is it a little childish for Lone to fight again?"

In fact, during the deliberations, Li Chengqian also fought for Wei Zheng, but Wei Zheng is now Li Chengqian's teacher, and he also has a post in the East Palace.

If he can win the errand of "relief and disaster relief" for Wei Zheng, he naturally does not need to worry about it with his ability, the most important thing is to do the errand well, which is recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

At the same time, he can temporarily transfer this stinky and hard stone away from Chang'an City, at least for a few months without facing his stereotyped and boring face.

Unexpectedly, it had already been preempted by the people of Li Tai, the king of Wei.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this matter has not yet been finalized, and there is still a chance to fight for everything."

"Do you know, now that Your Majesty has just left the city, the direction should be to the 'Qingyang Temple' in the east of the city, why don't Your Highness also take a trip?"

"In the court, it is a monarch and a minister, and in the opposition it is a father and son, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can go to the 'Qingyang View', maybe Your Majesty will be able to change your mind?"

Wei Ting changed his old days of cherishing words like gold, and actually gave Li Chengqian so many long speeches.

"Oh, why is Doctor Wei so sure that if you go to the 'Qingyang View' alone, your father will be able to change the holy will?"

Wei Ting's words still aroused Li Chengqian's interest in the end, or rather, he originally intended to fight here.

"His Royal Highness Li Chunfeng of the Taishi Bureau knows, right? This person owes a favor to a certain family, if His Royal Highness gets up and goes to the 'Qingyang Temple' now, he will immediately go and ask Li Chunfeng to go with him. ”

"Li Chunfeng is the apprentice of Yuan Tiangang of 'Qingyang Guan', with this relationship, he went there to say two good words for His Royal Highness, especially through the words of 'hexagram', Wei believes that he will succeed immediately."

Seeing that Wei Ting said the Tao, Li Chengqian was finally moved.

"Okay, Dr. Wei will go to find that Li Chunfeng, and he will rush to the 'Qingyang Temple'."

Li Chengqian is not a person who drags mud and water, since he has decided, he will leave immediately.

"Your Highness, do you want to wait for Commander Chengji to come back, so that I can accompany you over?"

Before going out, a confidant beside Li Chengqian persuaded him.

"Haha, no need, do you think Lone is a pheasant slave? Besides, didn't Lone already bring four guards? ”

Li Chengqian didn't think about it, from the East Palace to the "Qingyang View" in the east of the city, it is only a dozen miles at most, and in broad daylight, will there be a strong man in this Gyeonggi land?

Five people and five fast horses, the same micro-service went, and the same "Chunming Gate" went out of Chang'an City.

Li Chengqian and his entourage had just left Chang'an City, and from the corner not far from the "Chunming Gate", a person walked out.

This person is not an outsider, it is Wei Ting, the imperial historian who was talking in the East Palace.

At this time, Wei Ting no longer has the shrewdness and wisdom of Fang Cai, and his eyes are more revealing of lewdness.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the left and right, he reached out and gently touched his face......
