The voice is sincere and every sentence makes sense.
Although Yuan Zai was in the position, he was quite afraid of Li Changyuan, the "White Mountain Man" who served as Emperor Xuanzong's assistant, assisted Emperor Suzong, and protected the current saint. Therefore, he used his power to let him out of Jiangnan Province.
, so as not to stay in the court and hinder him.
At this moment, he saw that although Li Changyuan held his hands in greeting, he was still neither humble nor arrogant. His words were not only reasonable and well-founded, but also specifically mentioned His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace, which made him have to think about it. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Master Changyuan's words are reasonable. Since we all want to speak for the saint.
Even if we share worries and concerns, we agree by coincidence. Why do we have to compete for those who have high achievements and low achievements?
According to my wishes, I will bring this 'Water Sword' back to Chang'an on another day and present it to the saint. As for the loyalty and bravery of the two princes, I will show it to the saint and will never pretend to take the sword.
How about the merit?"
Although Tian Chengsi and Ge Shuyao had already thought that Yuan Zai also came to seize the sword, when he said this in person, their hearts sank. But if they wanted to disobey Yuan Zai, they would even fight with the guardian
The Yingwu troops around them never dared to take action!
Li Changyuan saw the two people's concerns, and immediately summoned all the East Palace guards beside him, and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in Luoyang recently, and he only stays in Ziwei Palace and Shangyang Palace every day, handling government affairs, and paying his respects to you.
Man. I saw the silver dragon in the east sky today.
After entering the ground, he ordered Pindao and others to make predictions each. After learning that a heavy treasure had been born, he sent the servants of the East Palace to come here with Pindao and others to find out. Now that the 'Rushui Sword' has been born, it should be left to the prince.
I'll serve you soon, and I hope Prime Minister Yuan won't make things difficult for us."
Brother Shu Yao and Xiao Jing on the side couldn't help but feel relieved when they heard this. But after hearing this, Tian Chengsi frowned even more:
Just now, everyone was fighting and refusing to give in, but they didn't know that everything had been planned by Yuan Zai. Only after they had lost their troops and lost their generals, did they "belatedly arrive" with two groups of heroic troops and a group of monks and nuns, and they were easily defeated.
Pick the "fruit" away.
Ge Shuyao and others have been in the two capitals for a long time, and they are all internal ministers. Even if they can't compete for the merit of presenting the sword, they only need to write down today's events in the memorial to report it as auspiciousness, and they can also get a share of the pie.
On the contrary, a governor of a feudal town like him was guarded and jealous by the imperial court officials, so how could he be willing to give him even a small part of this credit? It would be kind to not take the opportunity to accuse him of seizing the artifact and plotting evil.
Just when Tian Chengsi frowned but remained silent, Yuan Zai had already got off the shoulder carriage. He clasped his hands behind his back, stared at Li Changyuan and sneered: "Master Changyuan, since you know that this 'Water Sword' is famous all over the world, then
You should know that this sword is not only a magical weapon that can prove the supreme swordsmanship; it is also a sword of luck that can achieve eternal achievements!
His Highness the Crown Prince is already the Crown Prince, so why bother to seize this sword? Do you want to learn the invincible swordsmanship? Or do you want to ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible and show off your great talents? Haha! I'm afraid you deceived the Crown Prince and deceived him.
Let’s take the lead of the East Palace Guards so that I can find a reason to seize the sword!”
After Yuan Zai finished speaking, his eyes were cold and menacing.
After hearing this, Ge Shu Yao and Xiao Jing couldn't help but look at each other. They secretly called Yuan Zai a vicious and cunning man. Not only did they pour a pot of dirty water on Li Changyuan, they even hinted that His Highness the Crown Prince was eager to ascend the throne and intended to usurp the throne.
.If these words are spread by those who are interested, they will inevitably spread rumors and three people will become tigers; if they spread to the ears of the saint again, I am afraid that not only Li Changyuan will be killed, but also His Highness the Crown Prince's position as the heir apparent will be shaken!
However, Yuan Zai is now in a high position and monopolizes the affairs of the government. The important officials of the six ministries still pay attention to him, and they are silent. What's more, they are far away from Chang'an and stay in the eastern capital. They are more and more afraid to be angry and dare not speak out.
When Li Changyuan saw that Yuan Zai was so domineering and ignored His Highness the Crown Prince at all, his chest heaved and he was so angry that he could not speak for a long time.
Yuan Zai was so satisfied that he raised his hands to Abbot Lingche and other monks and nuns who had been standing aside for a long time and said, "I'm sorry for this trip, all Zen masters! I thought it would be necessary for a few people to take action, but I didn't know that Abbot Lingche had such magical powers! He can easily connect people.
We will capture them together with our swords. Now, I ask you all to follow me back to Yingchuan, open the box and get the swords together, and enjoy them together. As for these two bandits, I will hand them over to your Shimen for disposal as agreed. Hahahaha!"
Zen Master Lingche put his hands together and bowed, then turned to look at the monks and nuns who came with him: "Zen Master Kuzhu, Zen Master Huicong, Junior Brother Lingzhen, Junior Brother Buxie, Master Miaoheng, Master Miaojing! That day, the God
The monster in the capital garden that used its magical power of 'eyes as charming as silk' to embarrass us has been captured here. Let's just follow the instructions of Prime Minister Yuan and take him to Yingchuan to leave the industry first, how about we make further calculations later?"
"Amitabha! I sincerely obey the decree of Senior Brother Lingche." Several monks and nuns responded in unison.
Even the sleepless monk, who had been "in coma" for a long time, got up from the ground, led the Zhaojue monk, and joined other monks and nuns who had arrived. At this time, he was standing on the left side of Master Miaojing, walking out with everyone.
He responded with a gentle voice, while staring straight at Master Miaojing's pink cheeks, staring at her with embarrassment.
There was tangled grass under me and mud on all sides.
Yang Zhaoxi and Liu Xiaomu, who were trapped in the net, were lying on the grass nest on the edge of the canal bank. The rainwater that had been pressed to the ground made their skirts and robes cold and wet.
While several parties were quarreling with each other, Liu Xiaomu said nothing and raced against time to try his luck.
A faint red mist floated slowly from all over the body, but within a few breaths, most of the wounds caused by the "Yunluo Sky Net" had healed.
Yang Zhaoxi and Liu Xiaomu's backs were pressed against each other, tied together, and they could always feel the warmth from her body, as well as the refreshing scent of powder. While feeling uneasy, there was also a hint of uncontrollable heat in her heart, and she wanted to move from time to time.
He seemed extremely uncomfortable when he moved his body.
Liu Xiaomu's pretty face slightly condensed: "Little Taoist! Why are you twisting around like an insect? This fishing net of old dog Lingche is unusual. Not only is it not easy to break, but it also gets tighter and tighter, and the tighter it becomes, the more uncomfortable it will be. No matter how much you try,
Twist it a few times, or you may even break your legs and feet."
Yang Chaoxi stammered, and after a long while she replied: "If the path is too close to you, it always feels like blasphemy, so...Miss Xiaomu...you, don't you feel pain anymore?"
Liu Xiaomu's cheeks were slightly hot, and he spat, "Bah! I'm already eating fish meat. I still have these strange thoughts. I'm really dizzy. When the old dog started fighting with the man just now, I had already started to move the inner breath and heal him.
Healing the wound, things are much better now! If you want to escape, you need to think long and hard... Remember to hold the sword box tightly and don't let anyone snatch it away!"
Yang Chaoxi nodded silently. Then he remembered that Liu Xiaomu was back to back with him and couldn't see him at all, so he could only open his mouth and said: "Of course! It was so easy to get it back, how could it be unreasonable to lose it again?"
At this time, Abbot Lingche's "Ten Directions Brahma Sound Technique" had already been put away, and everyone was still immersed in astonishment.
However, Liu Xiaomu had keenly discovered that among the Zhaojue monks who had been sitting in the south watching the tiger fight, the sleepless monk who had been beaten "unconscious" by the Silla people suddenly jumped up and headed straight to the south. A moment later.
, Zhaojue monks separated to the left and right, making way for a passage. Riding on a shoulder cart, Yuan Zai, the richly dressed Prime Minister of the Sheng Dynasty, led a large group of people.
Yang and Liu knew that they could not escape, so they simply turned their attention to Yuan Zai who suddenly arrived, along with everyone else, trying to figure out his purpose.
Sure enough, after a few verbal exchanges, everyone was still fighting for the "Water Sword", and they were quarreling and tense. However, everyone was afraid of his power, until Zen Master Lingche and several monks and nuns surrounded him and wanted to kill Yang and Liu.
When the two were dragged away, no one dared to stop them.
"Wait a minute!" Following a cold shout, a strange sound of horse hooves came from the west.
The horse's hooves came flying, and everyone got a clear look. It turned out that a sudden rain stopped, and the bank of the canal was covered with grass, puddles and mud. A tall, snow-white horse came first, and the horseshoe stepped decisively on the grass.
The puddles and mud actually blocked most of the sound of hooves. Instead, the crisp sound of water and the sound of splashing mud combined together, which sounded very strange.
The person who came had a golden crown, purple robe and silver belt, slightly raised eyebrows, and a jade-like complexion, but he was a well-dressed and elegant man with an extraordinary bearing!
I saw him tightening the reins, and the white horse's front hooves were raised high. When it came down again, it had stopped in front of Yuan Zai. Immediately, a whip stick more than three feet long, covered with gold and jade, tapped Yuan Zai, and said in a clear voice
: "Prime Minister Yuan has been in the court for a long time and is busy with everything. It's strange to see him in Luoyang today!"
Before the man finished speaking, a group of good Uighur horses came one after another. Each horse was led by a strong-armed East Palace Guard, who rushed forward and divided into two teams to protect the man in the center.
Yuan Zai did not dare to make a mistake, so he quickly stepped forward, and together with other officials, including Ge Shu Yao, Tian Chengsi, Xiao Jing, Li Changyuan, who followed closely behind him, they bowed their hands and saluted: "I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The person who came was none other than Prince Li Shi. He glanced at the mess of broken limbs and broken arms on the bank of the canal. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Prince of Xiping County, Yin of Henan! Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is where Chengping lives, how could it explode?
Such a major case of wanton killing? If it hadn't been for the close servants who came to report it, I would not have known that such a tragic thing would happen in this bright world!"
Ge Shu Yao and Xiao Jing exchanged glances and bowed respectfully. Then they stepped forward, singing and singing, and the vision of "like a water sword" coming from the sky was revealed today, attracting all parties to compete here, and even going to war.
Select the key points and report them one by one to Prince Li Shi.
During this period, the words, deeds, and actions of Yuan Zai, Tian Chengsi, and others were inevitably mentioned. They were so shocked that several people stepped forward and explained in detail the ins and outs of why they came here.
Prince Li Shi sat firmly on the horse and listened to the chatter for a long time. Then he pinched his forehead and suddenly said: "It turns out that Yuan Xiang came here for the marriage of the third son Ji Neng, which is very gratifying! If it weren't for the great relationship between this sword, I would have to be good at it."
I make the decision to give this sword to you in the Yuan Mansion as a gift from my East Palace!
As for the Prince of Yanmen County, he is also a lesson in loyalty! His father has repeatedly entrusted him with important responsibilities, and even married Princess Yongle to his son. Because Tian Gongshi is the leader of the three towns in Heshuo, if Heshuo is peaceful, the northern border will be safe!
It's just that there is only one "Rushui Sword". If you are given Weibo Town, it will become a virtue. The two towns of Youzhou will inevitably feel resentful and feel that the imperial court favors one and favors the other. When the three towns are at odds with each other, how can they work together to prosper our dynasty? To defend Northern Xinjiang?"
After Yuan Zai and Tian Chengsi heard this, their faces turned blue and white. In fact, both Yuan Dang and Wei Bozhen had been planning to seize the sword today for a long time. At this time, if they were dissuaded by a few words from Prince Li Shi, they would If you abandon your sword and leave, you are naturally unwilling to do so; but if you openly disagree with the prince and spread it to the ears of the saint, you are obviously asking for trouble!
Moreover, today's saints are diligent in government affairs, working day and night, and do not cherish the dragon body, so that they sometimes suffer from illnesses. If the saint accidentally dies in the middle of the road, and Prince Li Shi ascends to the great treasure, then the first important thing is probably to settle the matter and His discordant minister.
After hearing this, Ge Shu Yao, Xiao Jing, and Li Changyuan smiled knowingly. The worries that they had felt just now were all gone. Even the gazes they looked at the "male and female hegemons" became much softer.
At this moment, Yuan Zai suddenly stepped forward, angrily pushed away the two East Palace guards, fell to his knees, and said in shock: "Your Highness, no! You must not!"
Prince Li Shi's originally indifferent face could not help but flash a look of surprise: "What does the Yuan Prime Minister mean by being like this?"
