Da Wei Chun

Chapter 432
There is a huge sun in the sky, but it is snowing brightly on the ground.Like countless colorful ice crystals floating in the sky, rippling and grotesque.

With a sound of "wow", the imperial guard opened the umbrella cover, covered the emperor's head, and protected him as he boarded the chariot.Yu Wenfu of the Central Guard Army (the commander of the guards on duty) shouted a few times, and the wrestlers and the guards quickly laid out the guard of honor.

Yuwen Fuyuan served as General Pingdong, and helped Li Chong defend the Lianghuai for many years, and he was quite famous.But he is already four out of fifty, and after years of fighting, he has been injured many times, and his health is getting worse every day.He has asked many times to return to Beijing, but the emperor has not allowed it.This time, I borrowed Li Chengzhi's light and swapped with Yuan Ji, the former general of the left guard.

In addition to succeeding Yuan Ji's Zuowei general, Yu Wenfu also served as the imperial servant.When Li Chengzhi rescued Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu from Hexi, and when he was killed, he also dealt with his youngest son.

Yuwen Yuanqing was the captain of Dianmu at the Hexi Racecourse at the time. After robbing the Hu merchants, he gave Li Chengzhi several carts of gifts to seal his mouth...

It can be regarded as a long-time spiritual friendship, and Yu Wenfu has a honest and honest personality, so Li Chengzhi gets along quite well with him.

In addition to Yu Wenfu, there is also Yuan Xi, the general on duty (rotation) and the son of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying.Counting it, Yuanxi also borrowed Li Chengzhi's light to succeed Hou Gang as General Wuwei.

There are powerful men holding umbrellas and sticks to clear the way. Yuwenfu and Yuanxi each ride a big horse, one on the left and one on the right, serving on both sides of the imperial chariot.

The man driving the chariot is Feng Chenglang, although he is just a coachman, but his official rank is right from the fifth rank, one rank higher than Li Chengzhi.

Liu Teng sat at the back of the car.

Seeing that Li Chengzhi didn't get in the car, the emperor opened the rear curtain and asked a little dissatisfied: "Since there is a warm chariot to ride in, why should we suffer from the wind and cold? How about getting in the car and riding with me?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty... I am the servant of Wuqi. It is my duty to serve you, and I dare not exceed it..."

Li Chengzhi returned to the middle distance, but he kept muttering in his heart: forget it quickly!
A lot of money has been thrown out, and the rich and powerful have made a lot of friends, but the rumors that he is "comparable to Zhao Yan and Ru Hao" are still raging, and from time to time there are censors who "exceed the etiquette system" .

This is going to ride in the same carriage with the emperor, and not be sprayed to death?
Seeing that Li Chengzhi had scruples, the emperor didn't force him, but just sneered: "Then it's up to you, let's freeze...".

It's two miles away, and it will be there in half a minute.There have been rumors from the Yellow Gate for a long time, and when they arrived at Qingquan Palace, there was a whole place standing outside the gate.

There are only seven or eight monks and priests, but there are more than ten noble ladies.In addition, there are quite a lot of servants serving Hu Chonghua, and there are forty or fifty servants brought by the wives.

No wonder the emperor put up such a big battle without leaving the palace?
Seeing the emperor descending from the chariot, everyone cheered together and shouted "Holy Body Ankang"!
"No courtesy, let's enter the palace!"

Yuan Ke waved his hand lightly, and the palace servants, attendants and other idlers dispersed on their own, and a group of wives surrounded the emperor and entered Qingquan Palace.

Li Chengzhi scanned carefully and found that he recognized quite a few.

The leader is the first emperor's younger sister, Princess Chen Liuchang, Yuan Ke's aunt.

According to folklore, she was once Gao Zhao's mistress, but I don't know if it's true or not.But what is interesting is that the year after the death of Princess Chen Liuchang's second horse, she was married to Zhang Yi, Marquis of Pinglu, by Yuan Ke.But shortly after the wedding, Zhang Yi was framed by Gao Zhao, and has been suspended since then...

There are also a number of noble ladies of the clan, including Yuan Yi's concubine Luo, Yuan Yue's concubine Lu, Yuan Ji's concubine Lu, Yuan Yuan's concubine Wang and so on.

The rest are Yuan Ke's concubines: Sima Xianzi, the first noble concubine (below the queen, one of the three wives, similar to the noble concubines in Ming and Qing Dynasties), Guihua Wang Puxian (below the first noble concubine, The third wife is ranked second), Jieyu Li (the first of the nine concubines) and so on.

These three were all descendants of the southern courts. There were seven or eight Han women like this in Yuan Ke's harem, but there were only two Xianbei concubines.

Since Emperor Taiwu, the harem of several generations of emperors, the princes and princes, and the wives and concubines of the Zong family have roughly the same ratio, which shows the determination of the Yuan family to Sinicize.

Probably because he was afraid of being exposed to the wind and cold, Mrs. Hu did not go out of the palace to meet him.After entering the palace, I saw that it was held by two maids, looking extremely fragile.

Before waiting for Mrs. Hu to bend down to give a blessing, Yuan Ke waved his hand casually: "Forget it!"

Mrs. Hu thanked His Majesty, then looked back, and saw Li Chengzhi standing behind the emperor, a few traces of anger appeared on his face.

Li Chengzhi raised his chin slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be saying, "Come and bite me?"

Hu's face turned blue with anger, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Yuan Ke noticed something different, but when he turned around, Li Chengzhi had already put on a serious look.

Look, that's it, Hu Chonghua couldn't even sue the emperor: Could it be that he told the emperor that Li Chengzhi was smiling at her?

As long as the two had an enmity, the Hu family would not be pleasing to the eye when he saw Li Chengzhi, and the emperor didn't care: "Don't you want to preach the scriptures, let's start!"

After speaking, he sat on the main couch.Hu Chonghua wanted to accompany him, but he didn't want the emperor to point at Sima Xianzi.

Hu Chonghua was shaking all over.

Li Chengzhi couldn't stop laughing secretly: No wonder after Yuan Ke's death, the Hu family, who was the new emperor's biological mother and had the right to face the court, could be emptied by Liu Teng and Yuan Yi and imprisoned for five or six years?
If you don't look like this, there is no one else: why don't you think about it, your title is just Chonghua, the last of the nine concubines, and your status is lower than Li's, and no one can get your turn when it's your turn.

Thinking about it now, today's battle is so big, it's nothing more than Hu's fox pretending to be a tiger, and inviting so many noble ladies into the palace under the guise of the emperor's name.

The original intention should be to show how much the emperor favors him, why would he want to lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot?

Not seeing Princess Chen Liuchang, Yuan Yi, Yuan Yue, and concubine Yuan Yuan's eyes showed deep meaning, and they kept looking at Li Chengzhi: Who told him to be Gao Zhao's niece-in-law, the queen's cousin-in-law...

Yu Wenfu was old, and the emperor sympathized with him and gave him a seat.Yuan Xi and Li Chengzhi stood behind the emperor like two door gods, one on the left and the other on the right.

Just like a banquet, the rest of the people were seated on both sides, and the middle was reserved for the monk who taught the scriptures.

Today's lecture will be given by Luo Jie, an eminent monk in Baima Temple. The Gaozu is an eminent monk in Kucha, and Kumarajiva is regarded as one of the Eight Patriarchs by Buddhism.Luo Jie became a monk when he was middle-aged, but thanks to the shadow of his great ancestor, the Buddha's reputation in Beijing is extremely prosperous.

It was about the "Da Pin Prajna Sutra", although it was a Mahayana classic, but it was translated by Kumarajiva and taught by Luo Jie, so the emperor didn't pay attention to it, but listened to it with great interest.

Li Chengzhi was drowsy, just like listening to a lullaby.

After finally finishing Yipin (similar chapters and lessons), Li Chengzhi regained some energy when he heard the "ding" of the Buddha bell.

Since Gong Eyu, the emperor, concubines, noble ladies, and monks and Taoists offered hot soup to moisten the throat, Yuan Ke just took a sip and put it on the side of the table.

Seeing the presence of the old god Li Chengzhi, Hu Chonghua immediately made up his mind: "The food in the concubine's palace is ordinary, and the skills are all ordinary, so it must not suit your majesty's taste. The concubine often hears that your majesty likes bean curd soup very much, and I also heard that Li Shilang Ding The essence of Zu is unparalleled in the world. How about letting him make a bowl?"

Hearing the bean curd soup, Yuan Ke's appetite was instantly aroused.One is that I don’t have enough lunch, and the other is that I haven’t eaten for a long time.But Li Chengzhi didn't need to do it himself. After all, Yuan Ke relied more and more on him, not to mention cooking, and he rarely even let him do the work of serving medicine.

But I can let Li Chengzhi give pointers...

The emperor was about to speak, but Li Chengzhi said first: "The nobleman has an order, and the lower officials should obey it. But I just don't know, when this soup is served, will there be fishbone or something hidden in it..."

Which pot is this, which pot is not opened?
All the concubines and noble ladies stared at Li Chengzhi in disbelief with shocked expressions on their faces.

This is clearly asking Hu Chonghua: You won't be able to frame the queen, so you framed me instead?

Hu Chonghua's face turned green: "Let's go...presumptuous..."

The emperor's face sank: "If you don't do it, you don't do it. Why are there so many strange words?"

"The minister is reckless!"

Li Chengzhi accepted it as soon as he saw it, "I'll go now!"

He was indeed afraid of falling into Hu Chonghua's poisonous scheme: This woman is not very clever, but she has many tricks and ruthless methods, and she may fall into the trick if she is not careful.

Simply point it out directly, if there is any problem at that time, the emperor will not be able to blame him.

Yuan Ke felt very tired.

Not to Li Chengzhi, but to Hu Chonghua.

It is not enough to be framed. After all, the Qingquan Palace today is like an iron bucket, and Liu Teng carefully selected it. It is impossible for Li Chengzhi to say that there are "thorns in the soup" and other things.

But nine times out of ten this woman wanted to humiliate Li Chengzhi. After all, as a courtier, how could she ask him to cook?

Just as the emperor was about to say "That's all", Li Chengzhi stopped by himself.

At this time, he had already arrived in the hall and walked behind Luo Jie, as if attracted by something, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

It looks like a book, but the whole body exudes a dazzling golden light.Upon closer inspection, the cover and book scroll seem to be made of pure gold.

"Dare to ask the mage, what is this thing?"

The monk was not very old. Hearing Li Chengzhi's question, He Shijishou said: "This is the golden scripture, and I want to dedicate it to the nobleman!"

"Written by real gold?"

"Tan Yue was joking, how heavy is real gold? It's just that the cover is pasted with gold leaf, the bones of the book are made of gold scrolls, and the rest are all high-quality mulberry paper."

Li Chengzhi was only slightly suspicious.

He just saw that the color was wrong, there was a hint of blue, as if it had been mixed with bronze.

But gold mixed with copper, should it be pink?

Li Chengzhi didn't care if the monk just slapped his face to pretend to be a fat man, and took copper as real gold to fool Hu Chonghua.Just as he was about to step over, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the monk trembling, and his heart skipped a beat.

Just out of curiosity, what are you afraid of doing?
By the way, from the beginning to the end, this monk never raised his head, let alone looked at him...

Li Chengzhi stretched out his hand: "Can I take a look?"

"Nothing is impossible!"

The monk responded, picked up the scripture book, and raised his hand to Li Chengzhi.

Still half a foot away from Li Chengzhi, the monk raised his head abruptly.

Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat: it should be ruthless in secret, the monk gritted his teeth tightly, and his facial features were almost twisted into a ball.The corners of both eyes trembled violently, as if they were loaded with springs.

With a flash of golden light, the monk opened the golden cover.However, Li Chengzhi seemed to have been electrified, a coolness rose from the tailbone, and spread to all limbs and bones in an instant.

The monk pulled out the book scroll, and a bronze dagger shining with gold pierced out from under the book, stabbing straight into his lower abdomen, like a poisonous snake spit out a letter.

The hidden sword in the scriptures?

After eight lifetimes of bad luck, how could he be broken by himself?

Li Chengzhi is not bad at martial arts, and he is also very agile. If he wants to hide, he may not be unable to dodge.But he turned a blind eye to it, not only did not retreat, but stepped forward to meet it.

The waist knife is too long, it is already too late.Li Chengzhi's right hand penetrated into his left sleeve like electricity, and in the blink of an eye he took out a short knife and stabbed straight down.At the same time, he yelled loudly: "Escort!"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Why did the monk who answered the question suddenly become an assassin?
It wasn't until there was a soft "chi" and a gust of blood burst out that the lady screamed.

The dagger with a six-inch blade was stabbed straight down by Li Chengzhi.The monk had no time to hide, so he could only turn his head.But the knife was like lightning, just like a butcher slaughtering a pig, Li Chengzhi stabbed the monk's neck, and it didn't hurt.

The tip of the monk's knife also pierced Li Chengzhi's lower abdomen. After piercing his clothes, there was only a light ding, and he couldn't get any further.

Unexpectedly, grandpa even wears armor when he sleeps...

With a little force from Li Chengzhi, the dagger, which was only as wide as a thumb and less than one point thick, was pulled out.Taking another step back, he was actually faster than the blood arrows, and his body was not stained at all.

Looking back, Yuan Xi had drawn a knife in his hand to protect the emperor.

At this moment, the emperor exclaimed: "Yuanxi, save her..."

Looking back, another monk jumped out from the front row, holding a chopstick-thick spike in his hand, and pierced Hu Chonghua's lower abdomen.

Hu's face was so pale with fright that he even forgot to exclaim.

Li Chengzhi really wanted to scold his mother.

He scolded both the emperor and Yuanxi.

At this time, shouldn't it be the Emperor Gu?
And Hu Chonghua, who is full of intrigues and tricks, are you using them now?

Cursing in his heart, Li Chengzhi stomped his feet, and like a leopard, he rushed towards Yuan Ke like lightning.Raising his right arm at the same time, the dagger in his hand flew towards the assassin as fast as lightning.
