Chapter 113: Never Forget
Emperor Tang opened the list submitted by Wei Zheng, and read the names of these senior monks imperceptibly in his mouth.
"Xuanzang...... His name too?"
Emperor Tang only pronounced Xuanzang's name out of his voice.
Wei Zheng heard that the emperor read Xuanzang's name, and hurriedly reported it according to the truth.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this list was carefully selected by the ministers, the Imperial Servant Qing, and the Zhongshu Ling, the two Lord Zhang, these five monks are all virtuous monks who are well-known in our dynasty, and Xuanzang is the youngest of them. ”
"Xuanzang?"
Li Rong'er on the side listened to the conversation between the two monarchs and ministers, and felt that the name "Xuanzang" seemed to be very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it for a while.
"Your Majesty, there is also a booklet of the origins, origins, and deeds of these five senior monks, please take a look at them. ”
After that, Wei Zheng presented the brochure introducing the five monks to the Tang Emperor.
Emperor Tang took the brochure introducing the five monks, and casually put it on the desk, "Aiqing, you have worked hard to recruit senior monks. In this way, I will take the time to read this list and the introduction of the five monks, and then consider it carefully. ”
So the minister retired first. Wei Zheng bowed and bowed and exited the imperial study.
"Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, you looked so serious and majestic just now. Li Rong'er laughed.
"You girl..."Emperor Tang pointed at Li Rong'er and smiled heartily.
"By the way, Uncle Huang, you just said that you would make decisions for Rong'er. Li Rong'er tilted her head and asked playfully.
"Rong'er's marriage is on your uncle and aunt, although you are not my biological daughter, but I treat you as my own daughter, you lived with the queen for two years when you were a child. Tang Huang quipped.
"Uncle Huang, you have to count when you speak. Li Rong'er stretched out her crooked little finger and made a hook look.
"Uncle Huang, I am the Son of Heaven, and my words are naturally counted. Emperor Tang pursed his lips and disagreed.
"Uncle Huang, then I'll just say, you have to make decisions for Rong'er. Well, also, don't laugh at me. ”
"Okay, you say..."
Li Rong'er poured a cup of tea for Emperor Tang, and then spoke eloquently.
"Uncle Huang, when my niece often lived in Zhenjiang Mansion, there was a place called Jinshan Temple...."
"Jinshan Temple, well, I've heard of this temple, it's a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Tang said.
"Yes, Jinshan Temple is famous in the local area. My father believed in Buddhism, and often went to Jinshan Temple to pray for incense, and he became acquainted with the abbot of Jinshan Temple, Elder Fa Ming, and his niece often went to his temple to play when she was in Jiangnan......"
"Oh..."Emperor Tang nodded, he also knew a little about his cousin Li Xuanming's situation.
"There is a little monk in the temple who is a few years older than me, he is a monk since he was a child, the monks of Jinshan Temple say that he has no father and no mother since he was a child, and he drifted all the way down the river to Jinshan Temple, and was fished up from the river by Elder Fa Ming, so his name is called Jiang Liuer. ”
Picking up the teacup in front of her, Li Rong'er took two small sips and continued:
"I was a playmate with Jiang Liu'er when I was a child, I called him Jiang Liu'er brother, when I was a child, he often took me out to play, such as flying kites, catching fish and loaches, climbing mountains and trees, he loved me very much, and always protected me like a brother. ”
"Once, when we were playing in the mountains, we encountered a big snake, and in order to protect me, Brother Jiang Liuer hurriedly picked me up and ran down the mountain, and my body and face were scratched by the thorns on the mountain in many places. Li Rong'er tilted her head sideways, her eyes full of scenes from the past.
Tang Huang turned the teacup in his hand, just quietly listening to his niece's interesting past, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Ten years later, we have all grown up, and Brother Jiang Liuer also learned about his background from the abbot. Uncle Huang, guess what, you can't figure out what his original origin was..."
"Hehe! It turns out that there is a story here, so what is your background as Brother Jiang Liu'er?" Tang Huang asked with a smile.
It turned out that his father was once the champion of the dynasty, and his mother was the daughter of the military department. What's more, his father was murdered by the wicked when he went to Jiangzhou, but his mother was occupied by the wicked and looted to Jiangzhou......
"Wait, wait! Rong'er, the story you said doesn't refer to the affairs of the Yin Kaishan family, right?"
Emperor Tang interrupted Li Rong'er's story and asked in surprise.
At that time, Tang Emperor Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and now he still vaguely remembers: At that time, Yin Kaishan, the secretary of the military department, once reported to himself, accusing the thief Liu Hong of occupying his daughter, and personally mentioning the matter of 5,000 soldiers and horses killing Benjiang Prefecture.
"Ahh Li Rong'er was stunned.
It turned out that this Jiang Liuer was Yin Kaishan's grandson. Emperor Tang sighed in his heart.
Here, Li Rong'er continued:
"Well, later, I came to Chang'an with Jiang Liuer's brother and found his grandparents, his grandfather Yin Kaishan led troops to capture the wicked Liu Hong, and cut him with a thousand knives, avenging Jiang Liuer's parents....."
"Well, your imperial uncle also knows these things. ”
"What will you ...... later?" said this, but Li Rong'er's voice was low.
"What happened?" asked Emperor Tang curiously.
"Later, Jiang Liuer's brother returned to Jinshan Temple from Chang'an, and became a monk in Jinshan Temple...."
At this time, Li Rong'er's mind couldn't help but think of the scene at that time, Jiang Liu'er's brother became a monk, but he was heartbroken when he witnessed it. Thinking of this, Li Rong'er's tears filled her eyes.
"I know, it turns out that you like this Jiang Liu'er, don't you?"
"Hmm!" Li Rong'er wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief and nodded.
"You like that Jiang Liu'er, does he know?"
"Of course he knows. ”
"Does Jiang Liu'er like you?"
"I guess, I can't say it either, he doesn't hate me anyway. Li Rong'er blinked a pair of big eyes and looked at Emperor Tang with expectant eyes.
"What about your father? Does he know about it?"
"Yes, but my dad he... He wasn't very supportive of me. At the mention of this, Li Rong'er's expression suddenly felt a little lonely.
"There are thousands of men in the world, why are you so persistent as a child?" Tang Huang shook his head, "What's more, he's still a monk!"
"Rong'er, because you are the lady of my Li Tang royal family, with your appearance, what kind of man in the world can't be found?"
The Tang Emperor was filled with pride in heaven and earth.
"No, the monk can be vulgar, my niece just thinks he is good, Uncle Huang, you have to be Rong'er." ”
At this time, Li Rong'er had a little daughter's demeanor, looking unrelenting.
"You kid!"
Emperor Tang was a little speechless, and said secretly in his heart: "I know this Li Rong'er's temperament best, and I can make my Li Tang family's Rong'er so fond of it, I want to see who he is!"
"Someone!"
"Your Majesty, please command. The eunuch on the side hurriedly bowed down to obey the order.
"Hurry up to Jinshan Temple and inquire carefully about this monk named Jiang Liu'er. ”
"Yes. The eunuch took the order and left.
After giving the order, in order to avoid the extremely expectant eyes of his niece Li Rong'er, Emperor Tang copied the booklet submitted by Wei Zheng and flipped through it.
The booklet introducing the five eminent monks is very thin, and the content is actually not much, and when he turned to the last page, Tang Huang's eyes suddenly widened, with an unbelievable expression.
"Uncle Huang, what's wrong with you?"
