Chapter 356(1/2)
Taizong traveled to the underworld, Wei Zheng dreamed of slaying a dragon...
Such a familiar plot...
Is it possible that this kind of plot can also produce projection mapping of creation?
Chen Yi's thoughts flashed through his mind, and his interest in this world became even stronger.
Not to mention heaven and earth, the water in this world is much deeper than he thought.
Listening to the emperor's angry thoughts, the night passed like this, and Chen Yi heard many secrets of this world from it.
This is difficult to know among the people.
Only the royal family can master so much information.
This reminded Chen Yi.
In addition to being an opportunity for him to enter the game, this emperor is also an undeveloped treasure!
If nothing else, the vast collection in the palace is a huge treasure!
Thinking of this, Chen Yi showed a kind smile: "His Majesty the Emperor..."
…
In the past few days, the city of Chang'an suddenly became lively.
From high-ranking officials to low-ranking peddlers, everyone was talking about it.
The hottest topic was the sudden announcement that the emperor, who had just ascended the throne, would appoint a prince.
That's normal. After all, the earlier a prince is established in a country, the more reassuring he is to his subjects.
Moreover, the crown prince to be established is the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Guangling.
Regardless of his status or reputation, this prince makes people feel reassured.
At least on the surface, it can be regarded as what people want.
It's just that there are rumors in the market that the emperor appointed the prince because he didn't want to do it anymore!
Give up your pick!
This is an unprecedented anecdote.
There are still people who want to give up their jobs as emperor?
This makes people have the desire to gossip, the kind that cannot be extinguished even if they are attacked.
Someone from some gatherings or pubs heard some adults scolding a person these past few days.
It is said that it was that person who made the emperor want to abdicate.
It is said that the man was a monk with profound Buddhist teachings. He was an Arhat from heaven who came down to earth specifically to save the emperor.
It was because of this that the emperor wanted to abdicate and follow the eminent monk to meditate and chant sutras.
As I said, he is a very handsome monk. The emperor does not love the country but loves "beauty"...
Anyway, privately, everything is said, and it is spread in a decent manner.
Among the several parties involved, the Prince of Guangling, who was about to become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was the most confused.
This county prince originally lived in the palace outside the palace, but in the past few days, he was suddenly ordered to move to the Prince's East Palace.
Although he has not yet been announced to the world and officially appointed as a prince, he is already a prince.
It can be said that he has firmly secured his position in the East Palace.
"What's going on?"
This would-be prince was born handsome and handsome, and showed great talent.
He was also quite majestic in his actions.
Even in the majesty at this moment, there is still a trace of confusion.
The prince, who was also looking confused, was bowing down below, sweating profusely, and did not dare to raise his head under the gaze of the would-be prince.
He was really confused too.
That day, he indeed followed the order of the county king to help the emperor.
Although the prince's words were high-sounding on the surface, he would never do such a treasonous act.
But he knew very well that the prince had a good calculation and wanted to bet on both ends.
No matter which side succeeds or fails, he is the one who ultimately benefits.
He did almost complete the task, and at the same time he satisfied his own selfishness and got the Commentary on the Taoist Scriptures.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he was assassinated by some shameless person who had killed a thousand people.
I don’t know what kind of plot was used to plot against him, but he was instantly transformed into a Xuanyin corpse. His body was stronger than steel and he fell into a coma. His head was still swollen and painful...
What puzzled him even more was that when he woke up, he was in an alley next to the palace, and the Taoist Commentary was still there.
He would definitely not dare to say such embarrassing things.
This Lord is going to be a prince now and will be an emperor in the future.
At that time, as long as he has mastered the manuscript of the Taoist Scriptures of the Patriarch Heavenly Master, who else will be given the position of National Master?
As a former disciple of Longhu Mountain, he knew that practicing cultivation in the human world was nothing more than receiving the help of the imperial dynasty.
Otherwise, throughout the ages, Buddhist and Taoist monks, who have always been afraid of trouble and lazy to move, would go out one after another to curry favor with the emperor and compete for orthodoxy?
"Your Highness, I heard..."
The Grand Priest carefully looked at the expression of His Highness the Crown Prince and said, "His Majesty was frightened that night and became disgusted with the world. He wanted to become a disciple of a monk and become a monk to practice."
"absurd!"
The prince-to-be slammed the table: "It's just a matter of time for people in the market to say this, but you actually said it in front of me?"
The Tai** priest bowed his head and said yes.
The prospective prince suddenly said: "I heard that the monk is very handsome. Have you seen it? Is it true?"
"Uh... Your Highness, please forgive me, I have never seen this before."
The Tai** wiped away the cold sweat.
Don't say you haven't seen it before, even if you have seen it, you wouldn't dare to talk nonsense about it...
"However, Pindao asked the palace servants to inquire and said that since that night, the monk has been living in Hongwen Hall and looking through the collection of books of all dynasties. Except for yesterday, he went to Daci'en Temple and met Master Zhizhou. The rest of the time,
Not a single step was taken."
"What?"
The Crown Prince-to-be was surprised: "Master Zhizhou actually met him in person?"
Don't blame him for being surprised, it's because Zhizhou is not an ordinary person.
He is one of the few venerable Buddhists in the world.
It is rumored that Master Zhizhou lived during the reign of Emperor Gaozong and is now nearly two hundred years old.
Most of the monks in the world call him Patriarch.
He even studied under Master Xuanzang back then.
That person is like an immortal Buddha.
Back then, even someone as domineering as the Wu family did not dare to be disrespectful to that mage.
"Who is this monk? How can he be trusted by my father so much, and how can he be treated so differently by Master Zhizhou?"
The prince-to-be looked surprised.
It was actually because Master Zhizhou had been in solitary confinement in Ci'en Temple for many years. The late emperor had asked to see him several times, but he had never received his wish.
If she had not known that he was in seclusion, Ju Wenzhen would never have dared to secretly communicate with the underworld to murder the emperor.
The prince-to-be was also afraid of this old monk who had been sitting in Chang'an City for more than a hundred years and was like an immortal Buddha on earth, so he thought of hedging his bets.
Otherwise, he would just pretend to be stupid and reap the benefits, so why bother getting involved in this muddy water?
"Um……"
The prince-to-be pondered for a while and said to the prince: "Go find out quickly and come back to report the orphan."
"yes!"
Tai** was actually extremely reluctant in his heart.
Although he didn't know the rumored monk, he couldn't be a good person if he could be related to that old guy Zhizhou.
That was a figure of the same era and level as the previous Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. How dare he provoke him?
But now that the leader was in the limelight, he really didn't dare to disobey, so he had to agree first.
…
