Tianyi

Xue Yi glanced up furtively and continued: "Later, His Majesty calmed down the trouble in the palace, and the female officer was pardoned and went to Wangji Temple to become a nun. The monk was not a monk at that time, so he took advantage of no one knowing about it. Go quietly and meet the nun. Twenty-three years ago, before His Majesty ascended the throne, the two of them had a daughter out of wedlock."

Emperor Xuan's face became even more ugly.

Xueyi said again: "But that monk was actually a heartless man. After he escaped from the palace, he gradually fell in love with someone else. At that time, my master didn't know his origins, and he was pursued hard by him. He was soft-hearted and got along with him for a while. After giving birth to his daughter, the monk ignored the nun. The nun was angry and threatened to find an opportunity to report him to His Majesty. In anger, he I lied to Your Majesty first that it was the Wu clan's eldest son who had an affair with a nun, and the two gave birth to a daughter. As a result, His Majesty became furious and executed the Wu clan's entire family."

Emperor Xuan suddenly slapped the imperial case and shouted: "Nonsense...how do you know these things?"

Xue Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, these old secrets are extremely difficult to leak. If the monk hadn't told me personally, how could I know?"

Emperor Xuan's expression was uncertain. After a while, he made a gesture, and all the eunuchs and guards in the Golden Palace withdrew in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Xuan stood up, walked to Xue Yi, stared at her and said: "You tell me clearly all the causes and consequences. If I hear even half a lie, I will have someone beat you to death." Bolognese and throw it out to feed the dogs.”

Xue Yi bravely raised her head, looked at Emperor Xuan, and said: "The women of the people dare not. The women of the people only ask His Majesty to investigate clearly and no longer be deceived by traitors. Then the great revenge of the women of the people will be avenged and the Holy Emperor will be safe." A stable country is a blessing to the people, and the women of the people can live in peace and have nothing else to ask for."

Emperor Xuan smiled slightly and said: "You are right. I promise you that if you can make me believe what you said, I will ensure that you live in peace in this life."

Xueyi lowered her head and slowly said: "Your Majesty, Minnu is the disciple of Madam Tianyi. Because my master once had a favor for that monk, so for a long time, Minnu also trusted that monk very much. After my master died of illness, more than three years passed. The monk said that someone wanted a folk girl to make clothes at home. The folk girl followed without raising any suspicion. But when she got there, she only said a few words. After gossiping and eating some snacks, the folk girl fainted. When she woke up, her waist was paralyzed and she could no longer walk. Although she was diagnosed and treated by doctors, her life was fine, but the strange poison that the folk girl had been poisoned was difficult to get rid of. Became a useless person."

"After that, the monk came to see the girl. He said frankly that he was responsible for the poison and that he had the antidote. If I was willing to obey his instructions, he could make me walk again. The girl was so angry that she was unwilling to suffer. He threatened, so he began to pay attention to the monk's origins and searched around for information. It didn't take long for the girl to guess his identity, and he admitted it himself. "

"The monk personally told the girl that he was the eldest son of the loyal emperor, and that he faked his own death and escaped from the palace. He also told the girl that your Majesty actually knew that he was not dead a long time ago. However, your Majesty is kind-hearted and extremely serious. The brotherhood not only allowed him to live freely in the world, but also gave him a gold medal, allowing him to enter and leave the palace freely."

Emperor Xuan gritted his teeth and hummed: "How brave! He even told the secret of this gold medal. He really failed me... Just keep talking."

Xue Yi said: "Yes. The monk also said that because of his mother and aunt's chaos in the government, His Majesty is extremely afraid of smart and capable women, especially women named Wu."

Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Confusing right and wrong... you say what you want."

Xueyi said: "I would also like to ask your Majesty to forgive me first. The words of the monk relayed by the folk girl may make His Majesty unhappy. If I make His Majesty angry, it will be the fault of the folk girl."

Emperor Xuan said: "I forgive you for not being guilty, please continue."

Xue Yi continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty. The monk told the girl that about twenty years ago, the Holy Emperor had two grandnephews serving as officials in the court. Your Majesty had a grudge. Because of the conflict between the two brothers, the two brothers were killed. She was demoted to another place. At that time, the monk had become indifferent to the nun in the temple, and she could not raise her daughter secretly by herself. Because she had some friendship with Da Lang of the Wu family when she was in court in the past, she entrusted her daughter to him. Lang took her away and recorded her in the household register as the daughter of the Wu family."

"After a year, the monk returned to Beijing and broke up with the nun. He wanted to take his daughter away and give it to my master to raise. The nun refused and claimed that he would report his love to the imperial concubine when she came to the temple to offer incense. The monk was afraid of losing His Majesty's holy family, so he took advantage of it and lied to Your Majesty that the nun had an affair with the Wu family and had a daughter. He also told Your Majesty that the Wu family favored women over men. I want to raise a second powerful woman to follow the example of the former Holy Emperor and compete with His Majesty for the throne in the future."

Emperor Xuan stared at Xue Yi and said slowly: "What you said now is exactly the same as what he said to me back then, just like you saw it in person. It's impossible, you would guess so Accurate, right? Huh, this proves that these words can only be told to you by him himself, so you go on."

Xueyi said: "Your Majesty is wise. The monk said that your Majesty has always believed in what he said. Therefore, in his rage, your Majesty ordered that all the members of the Wu family be executed. The one who went to convey the secret order was the monk himself. He said, He originally thought he could secretly rescue his daughter before the officers and soldiers went to slaughter the family, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened and he arrived a step late, and his daughter was beheaded by the officers and soldiers."

Emperor Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Yi said: "That monk has hated Your Majesty ever since. He originally wanted to use Your Majesty's hands to hang the nun and destroy the Wu clan who knew about it. He didn't really want to kill his own daughter. As a result, But when he failed to do so, he had a desire for revenge. On the one hand, he took advantage of the opportunity to enter and leave the palace at will, spreading rumors in the palace that a daughter of the Wu family had escaped, and wanted to take revenge on His Majesty. On the other hand, he wanted to I pretended to be the daughter of the Wu family in the rumors, borrowed my master's name, and waited for an opportunity to enter the palace and cooperate with him to assassinate His Majesty."

Emperor Xuan looked at Xue Yi carefully and said, "You have to be careful what you say...Then the monk can freely enter the palace, so why do you need to cooperate?"

Xueyi bowed his head and said: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The monk was very cautious and only wanted to plan everything. He said that Your Majesty is an unparalleled wise master. Although you have great trust in him, you are by no means defenseless. Therefore, he It is impossible for me to have the opportunity to do it. And since I am already disabled and a young woman, Your Majesty may be negligent and wish to see me alone. That monk may take advantage of His Majesty's negligence and suddenly assassinate me...for example, now."

Emperor Xuan was startled and stepped back hastily. He was about to open his mouth to call someone, but suddenly he calmed down.

He stood still, looked around, and then returned to Xue Yi. His eyes were full of admiration: "Your mouth really shouldn't be underestimated. I really saw you alone. Could it be that you have fallen into that monk’s trick?”

Xueyi said: "Your Majesty has been destined by fate, how could a common girl dare to do such a treasonous and unethical thing? But the common daughter and the monk could not fight. He had already told the common daughter all the secrets. If the common daughter refused to agree to him, then he would She was about to be poisoned. She had no choice but to make excuses and agree first. However, the monk's original plan was that there was no way that His Majesty would be willing to have a secret conversation with the girl alone the first time he met her. He planned to have a private conversation with her today. After that, I will go into the palace to inquire about the news from His Majesty, provide support from the side, and persuade Your Majesty to summon the daughter of the people alone."

Emperor Xuan couldn't help but nod his head and said softly: "It does seem like something he would do..."

Xue Yi pushed away the soft cushion, bowed down and said, "The daughter of the people has been harmed. Even if he uses the antidote as a temptation, the daughter of the people is not willing to help the tiger. So today, the daughter of the people risked her life to see His Majesty, and what she said Every sentence is true. However, His Majesty is so wise and blessed that he is willing to listen to the performance of the girl alone today, so that the monk will never have any chance. It is really the luck of the girl, and even more so in the world. Fortunately, it shows that the law of heaven is clear and the law of heaven lies. Long live your majesty, long live your Majesty!" Emperor Xuan walked back to the imperial palace, sat down, pondered for a while, and said: "You said it very clearly. But, before you come to see me, I once told Master Sun that if you only listen to one side of the story, you are afraid of raising tigers and causing trouble... What you are saying now is also one side of the story, is there any evidence?"

Xue Yi was still leaning on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Yi's injuries were caused by that monk. This is proven evidence. Your Majesty, please send someone to Sian Chai Temple in Fujian to find an old sweeping monk named Pu Yi and ask him Then you’ll know.”

Emperor Xuan asked no more questions, called people in, lifted Xueyi up, and took him back to Dali Temple for further detention. He specially ordered Xueyi to be treated well and not to make Xueyi feel any discomfort. He also asked doctors from the Tai Hospital to go there. Check Xueyi's physical injuries.

A few days later, a eunuch suddenly came to deliver a message, saying that Xue Yi had made meritorious service and was ordered to be rewarded. He would be exempt from the jurisdiction of the government in this life, and he could make a living independently and live in peace. No one was allowed to harass him.

This bright imperial edict has since become the talisman of Tianyi Courtyard.

Everyone in the government and the public were amazed. Sun Ruoyu went to tell the story of his savior to Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Xuan agreed to allow him to send Xue Yi home.Sun Ruoyu took the chicken feathers as command arrows and went to find Tao Duanping and Lan Shuo to lead the troops to escort them. They went all the way and made a grand gesture of returning home.

All the sisters and Lao Che were all surprised. No one expected that Xue Yi entered the capital alone and obtained such an imperial edict. They all looked at Xue Yi with expressions filled with disbelief.

Xueyi did not explain the process in detail to everyone, but only deposited the imperial edict in the side room and went to rest.

After that, it seemed as if a storm had subsided and disappeared.

Xueyi ordered Chiyi to start re-embroidering the number plate, and news spread that Tianyimen continued to take cases. Not long after, tents appeared again in the countryside outside Tianyi Courtyard, and they were still the same. Crowds of people.

Suddenly, more than a month passed.

It was midsummer, and there was nothing to ask on this day. In the evening, there was no one outside the courtyard, and suddenly a monk wearing a bamboo hat came.His monk's robes and sandals looked a little messy and worn, and the rattan basket behind his back was also a little crooked. He looked as if he had been exhausted for a long time.

Lao Che saw him through the crack in the door and immediately opened the courtyard door.

The sisters were all ready. Xueyi sat in front of the flower window of the wing, the screen was clear and transparent.

The monk stood outside the courtyard and said in a loud voice: "The master of the sect is ruthless, and I have become a key criminal in the holy order. It is not easy to escape here now. Can you allow me to enter the courtyard for a brief explanation?" , I must have the sect master personally promise me that he will let me go after I finish speaking."

Xueyi said: "I know that Master must come here and have been waiting for many days. I promise you that I will let you go. This Tianyi Courtyard was originally built by you. Even if I want to take it from you, I will never borrow it." The power of Tianyi Xiaoyuan.”

The monk nodded, walked into the courtyard, and stopped when he reached the courtyard.

Lao Che was behind him, carefully closing the courtyard door, holding the door fastened, and guarding one side.

The monk asked: "What on earth did you say to the emperor? If he refuses to listen to a word from me again, he will only impose a strict ban on me. If I dare to appear in the palace again, I will be killed. He also spreads the documents in Dali Temple across the sea to capture me." The painting and image spread all over the world, and it was clearly stated that it was not necessary to capture him alive, but to be beheaded first and then reported. The document of the sea capture said that anyone who can take my head to report, whether he is an official or a bandit, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. In an instant, I became Everyone calls him a thug."

"Although I am physically strong, I am not a master of martial arts, and at this age, I have been evading arrest all the way. Fortunately, I still have some brain power, and I finally got the chance to escape here. Strangely, I I can't figure it out. I obviously thought about the emperor, and in order to prevent women from causing chaos in the government again, I took precautions in the bud. How could the emperor kill me after hearing what you said? "

Xue Yi said calmly: "Master, how do you know that I will definitely answer your question?"

The monk replied calmly: "Because I know that you also have questions that you want me to answer."

Xueyi nodded and said: "Master is indeed a sensible person. Even so, I might as well say it bluntly, because when I spoke to the emperor, I told some details that only the emperor and master would know. The emperor naturally believed that these details were all You told me personally, Master... Your Majesty also believes that there are some other details that Master did not tell me. In order to prevent Master from leaking secrets to me again, of course, I have to kill him before I can rest assured."

The monk thought: "Details? Could it be that you can guess what I said to the emperor?"

Xue Yi nodded and said: "I guessed everything that I should have guessed. I deliberately said it wrong if I shouldn't have guessed it. I told the emperor a perfect story. Not only did the emperor believe it, but he also mistook it unintentionally. , gave answers to some of my guesses."

The monk put his hands together and said, "I would like to hear the details. If the master of the sect can understand my confusion, I will also understand the confusion of the sect master."

Xue Yi said calmly: "I guessed that the master would be able to enter and leave the palace freely, so the emperor must have given the master a special gold medal. I also guessed that the master would go to bewitch the emperor, saying that he should beware of women from the Wu family who may cause chaos in the government. But I deliberately said that it was the emperor who thought so. The emperor said angrily at that time, confusing right and wrong... This naturally meant that I guessed it right. I also guessed that, in fact, the person who was really unfaithful to that female official was me. The current emperor. However, I deliberately made a mistake on this point."

The monk stayed there in shock.
