The closest attendants to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty turned out to be the eyes and ears that monitored the Emperor.
This is of course extremely ironic.
What is even more surprising is that the person who arranged this spy turned out to be the Master.
The Master is a great master of his generation and the leader of Confucianism today.
For such a person to actually do something like inserting ears and eyes, this naturally made She Yue feel quite disdainful.
But she was also confused in her heart. The Master was the head of the Confucian sect, but he arranged his eyes and ears around the saint for the sole purpose of monitoring the emperor's every move.
But what is the purpose of doing this?
Why does the Master want to spy on the Emperor?
Yuan Fengjing obviously knew the details of Changsun Meier for a long time, but why didn't she reveal it until now?
She knew that before last night, Yuan Fenjing was still passionately devoted to the saint. Logically speaking, the saint had the ears and eyes arranged by the master. Yuan Fenjing knew the details and should have informed the saint long ago. However, he did not do so and instead allowed his eldest grandson to do so.
Mei'er, the chess piece, has always stayed by the saint's side, which is obviously a bit strange.
At this moment, Chen Xun's voice was heard: "Master, we are leaving the city!"
She Yue immediately opened the curtains of the carriage and found that the palace carriage had indeed left Mingde Gate. It was now traveling on the official road, with an endless wilderness in the distance.
After all, Tantai Xuanye did not dare to mobilize troops to contain him.
Chen Xun continued to drive south, perhaps to take care of the many fellow disciples on foot behind him. The speed of the carriage was not fast, and dozens of Taoist priests from Yutiantai followed behind him with light steps.
Yutiantai was a place for the imperial court to observe images and calculate calendars, but the Taoist priests there only obeyed the orders of the Great Celestial Master and were considered disciples of the Celestial Master.
Not long after the current saint entered the palace, the Great Heavenly Master was recommended to the palace by the Queen.
At that time, the late emperor loved the current saint so much that he even removed the Qintian Prison and directly established the Yutiantai according to the Queen's wishes. Yuan Fengjing entered the palace to sit in the Yutiantai and led the Yutiantai for nearly thirty years.
Many of the Taoist priests at Yutiantai have been following the Great Heavenly Master for more than twenty years.
The most important task for these people in Yutiantai is to practice Qi and practice Taoism. Although not everyone is talented in martial arts, with the guidance of a great master like Yuan Fengjing, most of them are not weak in cultivation. They follow a group on foot.
A carriage is not too difficult for everyone.
Changsun Meier was obviously a little nervous after Yuan Fengjing exposed her.
"What is the purpose of the Master sending you to spy on the saint?" She Yue asked.
The eldest grandson Meier shook her head and said: "Your Highness, Meier dare not hide it. Meier really doesn't know what the master is up to. You know, Meier has two days off every month and can leave the palace on her own. I will do it regularly.
I met the second gentleman at the right place and roughly explained the situation in the palace. The second gentleman will tell the master on his behalf."
"Where is the master now?"
Changsun Meier hesitated for a moment and looked at Yuan Fenjing.
Yuan Fengjing said: "You know what to say, so there is no need to hide it for that old guy."
"Master is at Zhimingyuan!"
"Zhimingyuan?" She Yue frowned and said, "Where is that place?"
There are not many academies in Kyoto, and Zhiming Academy is not a famous one, but She Yue has never heard of it.
"It's a small academy in the capital." Changsun Mei'er said, "Master has been at the academy these years."
She Yue thought for a moment and then asked Yuan Fengjing: "She doesn't know that Master Dao is in the capital?"
Yuan Fengjing shook his head and said: "The great hermit is hidden in the city. Very few people know the master's whereabouts. No one would have thought that he is right under the emperor's nose."
"Then why do you know?"
"He wants to monitor not only your mother, but also me." Yuan Fengjing smiled slightly and said: "Others don't know his whereabouts, but he wants me to know that he is by my side."
Hearing this, She Yue was even more puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Why?"
Yuan Fengjing did not answer. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Are you serious that you don't want to go to Qingcheng?"
She Yue nodded and said: "I will never watch Tantai Xuanye take Jiangnan into the middle of the river. Although Jiangnan suffered heavy losses, I am still there...
If we have the foundation, we will try our best to prevent Tantai Xuanye from getting involved in Jiangnan."
"The Li family's affairs will naturally be taken care of by the Li family." Yuan Fengjing sighed: "If you continue to be involved in it, it will not be easy to get out."
She Yue said: "I have never thought about escaping. You said that I can do whatever I want and no one will stop me."
"I said it." Yuan Fengjing said: "So I won't stop you."
"You said the Li family's affairs are in charge of the Li family's affairs. What do you mean?" She Yue was very alert. She noticed something in Yuan Fengjing's words and asked, "Besides Changning, who else would care about the Li family's affairs?"
?”
Yuan Fengjing still did not answer, but looked at the eldest grandson Meier and said: "Tantai Xuanye used you as a threat to force the eldest grandson Yuanxin to use you. Now that you have come out of the palace, Tantai Xuanye can no longer use you to ask for eldest grandson Yuanxin."
Xin, he also guessed that you will definitely meet up with the eldest grandson Yuanxin."
The words awakened the dreamer, and the eldest grandson Meier's delicate body trembled, her beautiful face turned pale and she said: "Great Heavenly Master, if this is the case, then isn't my brother's situation very dangerous?"
"The eldest grandson Yuanxin holds the military power. If he has no worries, he may point the blade at Tantai Xuanye." She Yue is extremely smart. Of course, she has already thought of the key and frowned: "The moment we leave the capital, Tantai
Xuan Ye must be worried that Changsun Yuanxin will fight back, so he doesn't dare to let Changsun Yuanxin continue to hold military power."
Changsun Meier said: "So Tantai Xuanye will send people to do harm to my brother?"
"We must rush to Xuzhou as soon as possible." She Yue said: "Mei'er, did Tantai Xuanye send someone from Kyoto to Changsun Yuanxin before?"
She has been under house arrest in the Pearl Mirror Palace and doesn't know much about recent events outside.
Changsun Meier has been serving the saint, so she naturally knows more information.
Although the saint has been controlled by Tantai Xuanye and was even placed under house arrest in the Imperial Garden, he is obviously not completely imprisoned. Tantai Xuanye still needs to use the saint for many things, and the saint is also very knowledgeable about many things.
"Yes." Changsun Meier nodded as expected: "Although Tantai Xuanye ordered his brother to lead the troops to attack Xuzhou, he was cautious. Not only did he send the supervisory army there, he also sent several trusted generals there, just to use it.
Monitor and restrain my brother." After a pause, he said: "If Tantai sends people to Xuzhou again with an imperial edict to seize my brother's military power, my brother will definitely be in trouble."
She thought about the situation of her eldest grandson Yuanxin, and her worry was palpable.
She Yue thought for a while and finally said to Yuan Fengjing: "I want to ask you something."
"you say!"
"Can you take Chang Ning to Qingcheng with you?" She Yue said: "Xuzhou is in chaos. I can't take her with me to take risks."
Although Chang Ning is only a few years younger than She Yue, he suffered from a serious illness when he was young, but after recovering, he left sequelae and his thinking was like that of a child.
She Yue knew that if she went to Xuzhou this time, she would definitely be involved in a huge storm, so she really didn't dare to take Chang Ning with her.
Yuan Fengjing nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to take her to Qingcheng. You don't have to worry."
"Thank you." She Yue felt a little relieved and turned her head slightly. Seeing Chang Ning sleeping peacefully, she felt pity in her heart. She thought of something and said, "I????????????????still want to find him?"
You can borrow someone to help convey the message."
"Going to the Northeast?" Yuan Fengjing obviously guessed She Yue's thoughts, "Do you want to tell Qin Xiao about the situation in the palace?"
She Yue nodded and said: "Yes. I am worried that Tantai Xuanye will be unfavorable to him. I want him to know the situation in the palace and no longer be controlled by the court."
Yuan Fengjing smiled lightly and said: "Do you want him to be independent in the Northeast?"
"Only in this way can he have a way out." She Yue said: "To restore Li Tang's country, we must rely on his strength. If I can gain a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, I can echo him from the north to the south and fight against thieves together."
Yuan Fengjing thought for a moment and suddenly said outside: "Stop the car!"
Chen Xun immediately stopped the carriage, turned around and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Chen Xun, you and the four great Lingtai Lang will escort the princess to Xuzhou and follow the princess' instructions." Yuan Fenjing ordered: "Let the two warlords and others escort Princess Changning and rush to Qingcheng in central Sichuan to watch her day and night."
Chen Xundao: "Disciple, accept the order!"
She Yue knew that both Lingtai Lang and Jianhou were officials in Yutiantai. Yuan Fenjing made such an arrangement, which made her wonder: "Then why don't you go to Qingcheng together?"
"I also want to meet an old friend." Yuan Fengjing said: "You just take this car to Xuzhou. Tantai Xuanye will think that I am with you and dare not act rashly." After a pause, he said warmly: "Chen Xun and Si
Dalingtai Lang's cultivation level is not low, and he can escort you to Xuzhou safely. If you want to see me, I will wait for you in Qingcheng."
He didn't say much. He stood up and was about to walk out of the car. When he opened the curtain, he paused and didn't look back. He just asked: "Are you really not going to Qingcheng with me?"
She Yue also stood up, bowed slightly and said, "Take care of yourself!"
Yuan Fengjing shook her head, sighed, then opened the car curtain and got out of the car.
Soon, a voice was heard from outside the car, and a group of people said in unison: "Best farewell to the Great Heavenly Master!"
She Yue opened the curtains of the car and looked out, only to see the Great Heavenly Master leaving alone under the respectful greetings of everyone, heading towards Kyoto.
