Chapter 51 The Birth of the Tang Door God
"According to legend, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was not hesitant. He threw bricks and tiles outside his bedroom door, and screamed with ghosts. The six courtyards and three palaces were silent at night. Taizong was afraid of this and reported it to his officials. Shu Bao said: 'I kill people in my life like cutting up melons. , pile up corpses and gather ants, why fear monsters! I would like to stand up with Jingde in military uniforms to wait. 'Taizong can play it, but there will be no warning in the night."
The above is from "The Encyclopedia of Searching Gods from the Origins of Three Religions".
Although he was explaining the origins of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, Fang Ying just noticed that Li Shimin looked sleep deprived, so he offered a suggestion with the attitude of giving it a try...
The result is naturally good!
This can be seen from the deep appreciation in Li Shimin's eyes.
But Fang Ying did not guess that the reason why the allusions are allusions, not historical records, is naturally different from the actual situation...
Just ask.
Li Shimin killed too many people and was afraid of ghosts in the middle of the night... How could he openly tell the officials about such things that undermined the majesty of the emperor?
Therefore, in the whole world, only Yuan Tiangang knows about it.
Now, Fang Ying, who has traveled through time, has deduced this from clues, so he launched his affectionate offensive...
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, so my son-in-law will leave first."
Fang Ying gives up when he sees good things. When dealing with people like Li Shimin, going too far is not enough. All he needs to do is to make some mistakes, and the other party will naturally remember the benefits.
Sure enough, Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, I'll ask Ananda to take you out of the palace!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fang Ying bowed and clasped his fists, turned and left.
"My consort, you are so loyal and filial!"
Li Shimin looked at his back and sighed: "I have so many children, but no one has noticed any clues... Only Ying'er saw the disease after seeing me once. This kind of filial piety is stronger than that of my son." !”
"Congratulations to the saint, for being helped by the chosen one!"
Yuan Tiangang smiled and bent down to congratulate.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Shimin was in a good mood, burst into hearty laughter, and asked: "Master, in your opinion, is the Prince Consort's method feasible?"
Why doesn't it work?
This is the method I figured out originally!
Yuan Tiangang's heart was in turmoil, and he bit the bullet and said: "Sage Qi, my generals in the Tang Dynasty are so murderous that they can frighten all evil spirits. This method... is feasible!"
"Okay!" Li Shimin ordered: "Then let's call Qin Qiong and... Forget it, Duke Yi is ill, so call Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong."
"Yes, I know it."
Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment and said: "Sage, when I was investigating the assassination of King Wei, I discovered something else."
"Oh? Something else?" Li Shimin's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "National Master, don't have any scruples, tell me quickly!"
Yuan Tiangang took a step forward and whispered: "Before King Wei was assassinated, Princess Gaoyang and the consort Yiai were hunting nearby..."
"What?!" Li Shimin's face immediately darkened, "Could it be that Qingque's assassination was related to Gao Yang and his consort?"
"Whether it is related to it or not, there is no conclusion yet...Pindao is talking about another thing."
Yuan Tiangang continued: "During the hunt, the princess was exhausted and needed to rest, so she found a thatched cottage... In this cottage, there was a monk named Bianji who often studied Buddhist scriptures here!"
"Master Bian Ji?" Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, "I've always heard that this Monk Bian Ji is an eminent monk, handsome and elegant..."
Speaking of which.
Li Shimin seemed to suddenly think of something, stopped talking, and his face suddenly became ugly.
"According to what the guards of the Princess Mansion saw, Princess Gaoyang was pleased with the opportunity to debate and took her tent to her house..." Yuan Tiangang paused and added: "The two closed the door tightly and were alone for an hour..."
"Asshole!"
Li Shimin was furious and roared with red eyes: "Monk Bianji, how dare you collude with the Princess of the Tang Dynasty! This is an unforgivable crime!"
"And Gao Yang!"
"I had good intentions and asked her to marry the son of the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. She would have a house and a family to protect her children and grandchildren for three generations. But she...she met a monk secretly!"
"It's so stupid!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down..." Yuan Tiangang sighed and said, "The worst thing is that the prince-in-law Fang wins. Perhaps in order to appease the prince-in-law, the princess gave him two beautiful maids while they were discussing the matter."
When Li Shimin heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over: "How outrageous! Gao Yang acted like this, and the face of my royal family has been completely embarrassed by her!"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious." Yuan Tiangang sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, the prince-in-law was here to prevent this matter from being spread."
"What? Winner?"
Li Shimin's expression changed and he asked hurriedly: "Could it be said that Ying'er knows about this?"
Facing Li Shimin's confused gaze.
Yuan Tiangang explained: "In the middle, the consort Yiai broke into the thatched cottage, suspected of discovering something, and injured the monk Bianji."
"Qingye, a female official of the princess palace, knocked on the door to check, but was blocked by the consort, preventing her from entering. Then... Qingye was killed by an assassin before she could spread the news."
"I see!"
Li Shimin had a complicated look on his face, and said guiltily: "I didn't expect that the prince-in-law would suffer such a shame and humiliation, but for the sake of the royal family, he chose to endure the humiliation..."
"I, the Li Tang royal family, owe him so much!"
Speaking of which.
Li Shimin paused and narrowed his eyes: "Now that he has presented a sacred object such as a horseshoe, what should be rewarded to him?"
"Your Majesty, the Three Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xing of the Wu Dynasty..."
Yuan Tiangang looked at the stars in the sky and spoke slowly: "Since the prince-in-law is the chosen one and blessed with good luck, why not let him... take the surname Wu!"
Li Shimin's eyes shone brightly.
