Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 356 Some things will never pass if they don't find out the truth

"Disability?"

Faming thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "As far as I know, this person is not disabled, and he is also a prominent figure in the court. If he has a disability, others will more or less have an impression."

Li Yan's face returned to calm: "I'm the one who is anxious, please start from the beginning, Master."

Faming organized the language, and the first thing he mentioned was an unexpected and reasonable person: "Li Jiyi knows that when Master Sanzang was translating Buddhist scriptures in the past, he recruited great masters from all over the world, and one of them was named Bianji. .”

Li Yan frowned slightly. Master is often called a respectful title. Those who can be called Dharma Master are those who understand Buddhism and can guide all living beings to practice. The status in Buddhism is quite high.

Since Faming still called Bianji a master, he also nodded and said, "I have heard that Master Bianji is charming and talented. When Master Xuanzang returned to China to open a translation workshop, he was one of the nine masters who wrote texts. Later, he paid homage to Xuanzang."

Faming was a little surprised: "How does Li Jiyi know so much about Master Bianji?"

Li Yan explained: "I like "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" very much, and I heard that Master Bianji compiled the materials of Master Xuanzang's travels in the Western Regions into a great work, so I know something about it."

Xuanzang and Bianji were the authors of many editions of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" in later generations. In this way, Li Jiyi really has a predestined relationship with my Buddha."

Li Yan thought that when I collect taxes for Buddhism, it will be more destined. Of course, what he hates is the atmosphere of Buddhism as a whole. The Taoist guide nodded and said: "Although I don't understand Buddhism, I respect Master Xuanzang very much. What I saw in Shaolin Temple this time is really heartbreaking. I must take it as a warning to avoid damaging the reputation of Buddhism..."

Faming was delighted: "Li Jiyi cares about my Buddhist sect, and this little monk is deeply moved!"

Reverting to the topic, Li Yan asked: "What the master just said, what is the relationship between Master Bianji and this matter?"

Faming's joy disappeared, and he sighed, "In the [-]rd year of Zhenguan, Master Bianji was involved in an evil incident, unfortunately died, and his reputation was tarnished. He was an important minister in the court, and he helped him to rectify his name. Master Sanzang also accepts this great kindness..."

Li Yan suddenly showed curiosity.

The [-]rd year of Zhenguan was the last year of Li Shimin's reign. According to historical events, wouldn't it be the time when Bianji had an affair with Princess Gaoyang, cuckolded Fang Yiai, was finally discovered by Li Shimin, and was killed in rage?
This incident is widely known in later generations. After all, the topic of Fengyue is much more popular than the translation of Buddhist scriptures.

But whether this matter is true or not is a question mark, because it does not appear in the "Old Tang Book", but when it appears in the "New Tang Book", there are still contradictions in the records.

The biggest discrepancy is that one said that Princess Gaoyang was disgusted by Li Shimin because of the matter of defending the machine, and in "Zizhi Tongjian" she added a detailed description of Gao Yang's sorrowless face when Li Shimin died, and the other said that Li Shimin died before Li Shimin died. The relationship between father and daughter is still good, and the princess shows no signs of falling out of favor.

However, the "New Book of Tang" is too advertised to delete the complex and simplify it, and contains too many miscellaneous historical records. Many researchers in later generations have questioned the affair between Bian Ji and the princess, suspecting that Ouyang Xiu was seriously anti-Buddhist. Ye Ji's smearing of Bianji was included in the official history.

After all, the attitude of this master of history is that I like to keep what I like and delete what I hate. Ouyang Xiu hates parallel prose and deletes parallel prose when he sees it. In line with Confucian ethics, the Spring and Autumn writing style is used when recording, and private goods will inevitably be mixed in.

However, as far as Bianji and Gao Yang's affair is concerned, apart from many contradictions, there is still no definite evidence to the contrary. Staying at the questioning level, it cannot be said that it must be false.

Now listening to Fa Ming's words, I don't know whether Bian Ji is Li Shimin's cheap son-in-law, at least there is no official record. Li Yan asked: "Which important official in the court is the one who helped Master Bian Ji?"

Faming was a little frightened, after all, that name has become a taboo for many people, but he still said: "Former Zhao Guogong, eldest grandson Fuji."

Li Yan's pupils shrank slightly. He had already concluded that they belonged to the Changsun family. Open the altar to teach the Fa, and the former Zhao Guogong is also here?"

Fa Ming nodded: "That's right, the former Duke of Zhao had already stepped down from his important position at that time, and with the persuasion of Master Sanzang, he intended to escape into Buddhism..."

To put it bluntly in terms of stepping down from a heavy duty, Changsun Wuji had already lost power at that time, and Xuanzang thought about his old love and wanted to help him enter Buddhism.

Li Yan shook his head secretly, Changsun Wuji's prestige is too high, Li Zhi can't feel at ease if he doesn't die for a day, this Zhao Guogong should also know this: "He didn't choose to become a monk, did he?"

But Faming gave an unexpected answer: "No, the former Zhao Guogong was willing to become a monk, and he asked with a smile if there was a dharma name in the temple, but he returned to Chang'an only after something happened. .”

Li Yan raised his brows: "The name of Zuo Ming? That's right... Indeed, no one is more suitable for Zuo Ming than Changsun Fuji."

Zuoming means someone who assists the Mandate of Heaven. Before they heard this title, they all thought that this person was going to rebel.

But if it was the self-proclaimed Changsun Wuji, it couldn't be more accurate.

From the advisers of the generals in the Qin Palace in the early years to the planner of the Xuanwu Gate Change, Li Shimin later ascended the throne, and his meritorious deeds ranked first, and the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion ranked first.

There are countless famous ministers and generals in Taizong's dynasty, but the one who can be called Zuo Ming and assist Tang Taizong Li Shimin to fulfill the destiny, Changsun Wuji is the most worthy of the name.

But so far, it seems that it is not enough for Faming to flee from Famen Temple to Shaolin Temple in fear. Li Yan asked: "What happened later?"

Faming swallowed his saliva, became visibly nervous, and said slowly: "In the fifth year of Xianqing, Master Kui Ji also came to Famen Temple to teach the Dharma. According to an old monk, he once saw a monk accompanying Master Kui Ji walking around. The posture is very similar to that of the former Duke of Zhao...but that year, the former Duke of Zhao should have committed suicide, and the accompanying monk disappeared later..."

Li Yan's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and he listened attentively, and after confirming that there was no one else inside or outside, "Master's intention is that the eldest grandson auxiliary machine faked his death and escaped into the empty door?"

Fa Ming said: "My little monk also thinks this idea is very absurd and cannot be trusted, but Li Jiyi's investigation of this old matter is related to a major case in Beijing. The little monk dare not miss the clues, and he is really afraid, so he avoids Famen Temple and comes here. here..."

Li Yan comforted: "It's not your fault. This matter is too ridiculous. If the former Zhao Guogong was still alive, he would be nearly [-] years old. Can this person become 'Zuo Ming' and cause trouble everywhere?"

In the last half sentence, Li Yan frowned, almost talking to himself.

According to the information of "Sa Ming" obtained now, according to Ashina Huan's previous description of this person, he is undressed and robed, with a mask on his face, and an old voice. It is to avenge the tragic death of more than a thousand people in the Changsun family.

Therefore, Li Yan was not sure whether this person was disabled, after all, it was concealed very well.

At present, the biggest suspect is the eldest son, Sun Chong, who can inherit the eldest grandson Wuji Yu Ze.

But if Changsun Wuji didn't die, it would be terrible.

Changsun Chong and Changsun Wuji are existences at different levels, so there is no comparison.

Li Yan lost his mind to stay, got up and said: "Master Faming, you should rest well and recuperate in Shaolin Temple for a while, this place is actually a safe place now."

Fa Ming clasped his hands together: "Thank you Li Jiyi for your concern, I understand."

Li Yan left the house, pondered for a moment, returned to his room, and drew a pen to summarize.

Beginning with the death of Bianji in the Zhenguan period, Changsun Wuji was kind to Xuanzang;
Eighteen years ago, Changsun Wuji's power began to fall apart. He discussed Buddhism with Xuanzang at Famen Temple. He had the idea of ​​escaping into Buddhism, but he asked with a smile if there was any Dharma name. Perhaps his ambition was not extinguished. Due to the lack of witnesses, Unable to say what emotions were at the time;
In the next two years, Changsun Wuji completely lost his power. In the fourth year of Xianqing, he was forced to commit suicide for the crime of treason. Not only did thousands of people in his clan be exiled to Lingnan, but he also involved a wide range of people, and many nobles in the pass were suppressed;

In the fifth year of Xianqing, Xuanzang's direct disciple, Kuiji, was in Famen Temple, accompanied by a monk suspected of being the eldest grandson Wuji;

In the future, perhaps the line of events will reach Lingnan. The Changsun family suffered from "epidemic disease". Years ago were all burned by a fire;
It is certain that most of the Changsun family lost their lives, but it is very likely that there are fish that slipped through the net. The "Zuo Ming" who is now causing chaos in the Tang Dynasty may be its survivor.

This person is proficient in all kinds of strength methods, and he used the power of consciousness to kill Jia Sibo. His party members planted spies in Longyou, secretly contacted various ethnic groups in the pass, secretly planned a rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and had contacts with foreign ethnic groups such as Tubo, Silla, and Turks. There is also an old man from the former internal guard under his command...

For example, among the Shanggong sisters, there is one who is biased towards the Changsun family and has witnessed many incidents.

Yang Zaiwei's Hongnong Yang family has often lost children in recent years. It is not unrelated to the Yaren organization under Shang Gong's command.

After finishing sorting, Li Yan circled the names of Shang Gong and Kui Ji.

Needless to say, Shang Gong will be interrogated severely when he returns to Luoyang tomorrow, maybe Qiu Shenji has already been tortured.

As for Kuiji, Master Xuanzang has passed away, and the person who knows the most about the events of that year is the direct heir, among Xuanzang's many disciples, the only one who has practiced Vigorous Consciousness to great success.

But after hesitating for a while, Li Yan wrote another clue on the back, which he has been haunting.

That's what his uncle Xie Zhangshi said. In the fourth year of Xianqing, Li Dejian, the Duke of Wei, took him who was only two years old, and went out to do something, which directly caused his whereabouts to be unknown. Later, he grew up in Liangzhou.

And that year happened to be the time when Changsun Wuji was killed.

Will Li Dejian also participate in it?

Li Yan thought of the marginalization of Duke Wei's mansion before he appeared, and shook his head slightly.

wrong……

With the grouping of nobles in the pass, if Li Dejian participated in a huge conspiracy, there is no need for him to have no status.

But he picked up a pen and circled Li Dejian's name, and after making up his mind, put it on the candle.

Watching the paper turn into ashes, Li Yan's eyes were deep.

Some things have passed, and they will pass, so there is no need to get to the bottom of it.

But the effects of some things never pass.

The tragic death of thousands of members of the Changsun family...

Is "Sa Ming" worthy of its name...

The conspiracy and revenge of chaos...

Since he is a great detective of the Tang Dynasty, he must investigate it to the bottom!
