Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 330 Immortal?monster?
East Palace, Mingde Palace, Li You, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenwen, Zhang Xuansu, Xiao Rui, Chu Suiliang, Zhai Changsun and others sat in rows. Did I go wrong.

Heh, except for the emperor, Li Chengqian has never seen anyone who can bring so many "immortals" together.Afterwards, under Li Ke's vague explanation, Li Chengqian realized that it was Cen Wenwen who specially invited these people here after he found out the reason and consulted with Changsun Wuji.

After ordering Heng Lian to serve you some refreshments, Li Chengqian sat on the steps and said with a light smile: "Since I became the crown prince, this Mingde Hall has been rarely used. If you didn't come here today, I would have almost forgotten about it." What does the tea taste like?"

Hehehe. Hearing what the crown prince said, all the officials in the hall laughed, especially Changsun Wuji, who stood up and paced, and said to the officials: "Dear colleagues, did you hear that, His Highness the Crown Prince? It's a pity, he thinks that the minister waits to eat less, come here, everyone, don't be polite, use more, and see if His Highness will feel distressed."

Changsun Wuji was famous for his alertness, and under his teasing, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became more harmonious.There is no way, the courtiers in the palace belong to different forces, and it is not an easy task to have one heart and one mind. .
"Your Highness, I will let the minister open this end today." During the conversation, Cen Wenwen also deliberately nodded to Changsun Wuji: "The person His Royal Highness checked is Baozhi, the queen wizard of Xue Ju Department, according to Xue Ju Department's The generals said that this man is very good at strategizing, understands Yin and Yang, and understands world affairs."

Cen Wenwen told everyone in the hall in a deep voice that this Baozhi was not only a mastermind, offering advice on military and political matters, but his main task was to help Xue Ju monitor the civil and military officials under his command.

Speaking of surveillance, this guy's method is not unimaginable, he can change anyone's appearance at will, and sneak into the officials to inquire about news.

Once someone has dissatisfaction and resentment, he will quietly record it after returning home, and confront him with a handwritten letter the next day.Xue Ju's subordinates were all panicked, and they dared not speak freely even to their own wives and children. .
"Then why didn't Xue Ju's subordinates resist, wouldn't it be enough to kill this monster?" Li You was fascinated by what he was listening to just now, but this is not a strange thing, Xiang Xiang is just curious about everything at his age age.No, just as Cen Wenwen finished speaking, he asked his own question.

"His Royal Highness Qi asked a good question. It is very simple to kill him, but who knows what face he appears in?" Cen Wenwen pointed to Zhai Changsun who was sitting below: "General Zhai was killed at the time. It is the internal history order of the Western Qin Dynasty, and even a high-ranking official like him has never seen Baozhi's true face in Mount Lu."

Afterwards, Zhai Changsun continued Cen Wenwen's words, the Zhai family was a big family in Longxi, and Xue Ju specially gave him such a vacant position as Neishi Ling in order to consolidate his power.After listening for a long time, he and Cen Wenwen came to the conclusion that Baozhi is a monster.

After contemplating for a long time, Li Chengqian, who sat on it and listened to it for a long time, finally spoke: "Cen Zhongshu, are all of us here just to discuss whether he is a monster? Isn't there someone in the world who would use special makeup to disguise his face?" Is it? I just want to know the specific identity information such as his native place and origin, does Mr. Er have this information?"

Li Chengqian is a staunch atheist, he believes that everything is traceable.However, this Baozhi can be considered to have a few tricks, so that even those close to him can't see the flaws.

"Your Highness, Jingren and General Zhai are all talking about Baozhi's stay in the Western Qin Dynasty, so I will answer your Highness's questions." Changsun Wuji stood up in good time, cupped his hands and replied to Li Chengqian.

However, his words did completely subvert Li Chengqian's three views. Zen Master Baozhi, also known as Baozhi, was an eminent monk during the Qi and Liang dynasties in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a native of Jincheng, and his common surname was Zhu. .The scriptures say that the description of his face is: the face is square and clear like a mirror, and the hands and feet are like bird claws.

When Baozhi was seven years old, he became a monk following Sengjian and was good at practicing meditation. In the early years of Liu Songtai, Baozhi's whereabouts suddenly became strange. Hold a tin stick, hang scissors, fans, mirrors and other objects on it, and parade in the streets and alleys.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan believed in Buddhism, especially Master Baozhi, so he was invited to the palace to be raised at the beginning of his succession.

Later, Emperor Wu of Liang invited Zhang Sengyou, a famous master of painting at that time, to paint a portrait of Master Baozhi in the palace.On the spur of the moment, Baozhi asked Emperor Wu of Liang, "Do you want to draw a picture of the skin, or do you want to draw a picture of the law?"Emperor Liang Wu immediately replied that of course he had to draw a picture.

But a horrifying thing happened. I saw Baozhi gently turn his fingertips towards the facing door, and a face was immediately split into two, split to the two sides, and what appeared in the middle was the face of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva .

This piece of Avalokitesvara is divided into twelve, with beautiful faces, benevolent or compassionate, different faces, changing and changing, so mysterious that Zhang Sengyou, who is known as the first painter of Buddha statues, could not write a pen. (Characters are taken from Tang Shu·Yiwenzhi)
Be good, according to what Changsun Wuji said, isn't this Baozhi over 400 years old, and he is actually looking for a monster who has lived over 400 years old.

No wonder Changsun Wuji invited so many people to come. He and Cen Wenwen were afraid that they also wanted to live forever, and if they went to encourage the emperor at that time, there would be no peace for the country.

Seeing Changsun Wuji's worried expression, Li Chengqian explained to the ministers why he was looking for Baozhi. Who would have thought that a person 400 years ago would be the man behind the Anzhou Rebellion and the robbery of Gongyin? Woolen cloth.

"Your Highness, it is impossible for a person to live that long. It must be someone who wants to confuse the public. Speaking of painting, in fact, Zhang Sengyou still painted a painting after returning home. It's just that Liang Shi kept it secret and few people knew about it. Minister I also found it after searching through my father's study, and this is the one you see." After speaking, Xiao Rui opened the box next to him and showed the painting inside to everyone.

After a while, Chu Suiliang said with doubts: "Your Highness, I can assure you that this is definitely Zhang Sengyou's authentic painting, but is this painting a person?"

"Whether it's a real person or an impostor, I'm so lonely that I have to find this pretender and send him to Dongshi to be hacked to pieces so that he can tell the soldiers and civilians who died in Anzhou."

As soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, Li Ke, who had been silent all this time, stood up with a violent look on his face: "Brother Prince is right, we have to find him and kill him. Duke Qiao died in vain."
