Yipin Tang

Chapter 254 Confession
After getting two satisfactory sketches, Li Er was in a good mood, and asked the maid to bring some snacks such as dried fruit cakes, and asked Chen Gui to bring Wang Xiang a small bench.

Now Wang Xiang has no complaints about sitting on the small bench. He knows that it is a rare honor to be given the small bench by the emperor, and besides, there is no one else here.

He just felt that he couldn't stretch his legs and feet while sitting on a small bench, but he was the only one who felt that way. The others were all respectful in front of the emperor, who would stretch their arms and kick their legs if they were fine.

The little son was held in the arms of the eldest grandson empress, eating with relish a bunch of candied haws made by the royal chef in the palace, while Li Zhi sat on a small bench like Wang Xiang.

"Wang Jiancheng, when I was looking for you, I passed by Lu Guogong's mansion. I heard that Old General Cheng is also a fairy descended from the earth. Is it true?"

A kid of his age is most curious about the theory of ghosts and gods, especially when two door gods appeared in the Tang Dynasty yesterday, and even his father admitted the door god's theory, so he became even more curious after hearing the news.

Li Er was teasing Xiao Si, and immediately looked at Wang Xiang after hearing Li Zhi's words: "Old Cheng is also a god who descended to earth? Did that fortune teller say it again?"

Wang Xiang nodded awkwardly.

"Oh?" Li Er asked with a half-smile: "Then the fortune-teller said that Lao Cheng is some kind of god descending to earth?"

"Um... said to be the Great God of Confusion."

Li Er was taken aback when he heard the words, he was still a god in the world, he was much more majestic than a door god, how awesome is Lao Cheng?Then, as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am I not...

Before Li Er could finish his thinking, Li Zhi spoke again: "But I heard it wasn't this one, I heard it was a marshal, it's very majestic."

"Huh?" Li Er glanced at Wang Xiang suspiciously.

"This... In fact, the Great God of Confusion also has another title, called... Marshal Canopy."

Wang Xiang was sweating in his heart. Fortunately, he had adapted it when he talked about Journey to the West, and he never said that the second senior brother was originally the Marshal of the Canopy.

"Yes! It's Marshal Tianpeng!" Li Zhi said excitedly: "I also heard that Marshal Tianpeng is the immortal marshal in charge of the 30 Tianhe army in the sky. The tablet of Marshal Canopy was set up."

Depend on!Do you want Lao Cheng to do this!When he was in his residence earlier, he didn't even bother Yuchi Jingde to show off with the name of the door god, but he didn't expect that not long after he left, he would actually show up with the tablet of the marshal of the canopy.

The ancients studied hard in the cold window, and what was the purpose of fighting in the battlefield?In addition to power, wealth, and glory in the family, it is for the sake of being famous in future generations. Qin Qiong is so low-key, but the people in his house still publicize his status as a god, which shows how much the ancients valued fame.

Li Er's heart also became hot, coughed and asked calmly: "Since Lao Cheng is the Marshal of the Canopy, you have already asked about it, how about the matter I asked you to ask yesterday?"

In fact, Li Er didn't believe in fortune tellers at all at first, and guessed that the so-called immortals descending to earth were mostly made up by Wang Xiang himself, but first of all, he needed this kind of "fortune teller" fairy tales, ordinary people really can't make up such a logical way, Secondly, the two portraits of door gods painted by Yan Liben really played an extraordinary role. He can still clearly remember the images of Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong falling from the sky in a dream in which a golden light flashed, plus Yuan Tiangang, the number one great master. It is speculated that Li Er, who is wise and mighty, is also a little bit surprised.

In addition to making sketches and portraits, Wang Xiang knew that this matter must not escape, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty is not a fairy descending from the earth."

"What!" Li Er, who was still calm, suddenly raised his voice, and looked at Wang Xiang with burning eyes.

Empress Changsun and Li Zhi were also very surprised. Even Lao Cheng came down to earth as Marshal Tianpeng who was in charge of the 30 Tianhe army. How could Li Er not be a god?

Sensing Li Er's dissatisfaction, Wang Xiang smiled wryly and said, "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. In fact, the so-called fairy tales are all made up by myself."

Li Zhi opened his mouth in disbelief: "Ah? Did General Cheng come down to earth from Marshal Tianpeng? Did General Qin and General Yuchi come down to earth as door gods?"

Wang Xiang whispered: "I also made it up."

Li Zhi was instantly disappointed. He was still excited to see the gods before, but it turned out that it was all fake.

Wang Xiang secretly glanced at Li Er and Empress Changsun, seeing that the two of them were just surprised, but they had calmed down at this moment, and sighed secretly: they are worthy of being the wise kings and empresses in history.

Li Er was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I thought you would make up a more powerful fairy to please me."

Wang Xiang was surprised and said, "Your Majesty already knew?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "What about a fortune teller, can you still deceive Your Majesty with this little trick?"

Li Er snorted softly, and Wang Xiang quickly put on a smile and said: "Your Majesty is wise, so it turns out that His Majesty already knew that I made it up."

"As soon as you roll your eyes, I can tell what you're thinking. What you said at Duke Yi's mansion yesterday was just a temporary idea."

Wang Xiang smiled awkwardly.

"However, the two portraits of door gods painted by Yan Liben are quite similar."

Seeing Li Er looking at him with flickering eyes, Wang Xiang knew that the two door god portraits he took away yesterday must have played a role, and now he wanted to explain himself.

"Phase is born from the mind. If you believe in something, you will have it. If you don't believe it, you will not have it. All illusions are caused by the confusion of the mind. When the mind is at ease, you will be at ease."

At this time, Wang Xiang really looked like a magic stick. Li Er didn't bluntly say that the portrait of the door god made him get rid of the nightmare and fall asleep peacefully. Wang Xiang's explanation was also vague. Knowing what they were talking about, his frail heart was still sad because the fairy dream was shattered.

After listening to Wang Xiang's words, Li Er and Empress Changsun were thoughtful, and after looking at each other, they both felt a sense of enlightenment.

Hearing Wang Xiang's confession that the so-called fairy tales were made up by himself, Li Er felt inexplicable in his heart. He hoped that the fairy tales Wang Xiang said were true, but he didn't want the fairy tales to be true. , the emperor's mind is so complicated.

Wang Xiang didn't know Li Er's emperor's mind, he just felt that after confessing, the whole person felt a lot more relaxed. There is a saying that is true, one lie needs countless lies to cover up, it is really too tiring.

When the hall fell silent, Chen Gui suddenly walked in with his head down, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Old General Cheng has come into the palace and asked to see His Majesty."

Old Cheng is here?Wang Xiang was surprised, didn't he throw a big banquet in the mansion, why did he leave the guests and come into the palace?

Li Er was also a little surprised. At that time, Lao Cheng had just entered the palace to worship, so why did he enter the palace at this time?
