Chapter 182(1/2)
As the emperor was dragged into the hall, what was greeted was not the bright room, and the hideous blood of Master Lingzang.
The doors and windows were opened, and the strong wind blew, and rows of candlelight were blown out instantly.
The emperor's eyes were then covered with a layer of black veil, and the heaven and earth were immediately dim, and even the sound of fighting in the distance gradually faded away, and finally disappeared.
He didn't even know what was going on. After shouting twice but it was useless, the emperor realized that he was now under control.
The dignity of the emperor made him suppress all the excitement and fear, and silently gritted his teeth and kept silent.
The emperor felt that both sides of his arms were loosened, and the power to control himself suddenly disappeared. He pulled off the blindfolded black veil without saying a word.
It's still dark in my eyes.
The emperor turned around and couldn't tell where this was.
When darkness obscures everything, there is no difference in where it is.
The sharp sobs seemed to be there and nothing, like the crying of the unjust soul floating over the other side of the underworld, gloomy and dark, arousing the deepest fear and sorrow in people's hearts.
The emperor did not try to take a step, and he knew that in this case, it was the best not to move.
If the enemy sets traps around, all active actions may bring danger to themselves.
The enemy does not move, he does not move.
The emperor could hear his breathing, even his heartbeat.
My heartbeats get faster and faster, and my eardrums are bulging.
He swallowed his saliva and found that his mouth was full of dryness.
This silent torture lasted for a long time, and the emperor could no longer bear the patience that he claimed to be good.
When he finally couldn't help but want to make a sound, someone blew a breath into the back of his neck.
A gentle sigh echoed around him.
The emperor froze.
"Who is the monster? If you have any grudges, you might as well show up and face it. Pretending to be a ghost is just a villain's plan, and it's just a laughing stock!" He shouted in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty's demeanor of Mount Tai collapsed before his face, I really admire you."
The other party's voice was soft and slow, which was in sharp contrast to the emperor's harsh words and expressions.
There was still no light, but the other party seemed to be able to see his every move. The emperor was about to move sideways and his body could not move.
"Who are you?" He calmed down.
"Xiao Lu." The other party did not go around in circles and directly reported to the house.
"Which landlord on the 13th floor of Yunhai?" The emperor was a little surprised, but not very surprised.
"It seems that Your Majesty has heard my name a lot from Fengxiao and Cui Bulu." Xiao Lu said with a smile.
Xiao Lu snapped his fingers.
A little light lit up right in front of the emperor.
The halo gradually expanded into a light ball, and a few more scattered.
The surrounding scene is vaguely visible.
The emperor saw Xiao Lu standing opposite him, and also saw the girl standing beside Xiao Lu.
The owner of the 13th floor of Yunhai is young and handsome, and the girl is the perfect match.
It is hard to imagine that it was this young man with a gentle and kind face and a smile on his lips who established such a huge force in just a few years, gathering all kinds of experts to cooperate with the Turkic Southern Dynasties and even Goguryeo. Although it has not yet posed a positive threat to the Sui Dynasty, it is already a big stumbling block in open and secret.
But the face of the girl was so familiar to the emperor.
"Yuwen Eying?" He was shocked.
Even though he was not happy with the origin and surname of this granddaughter, for the sake of his daughter Princess Leping, the emperor asked himself that he had never treated her harshly.
Who would have thought that she had already secretly colluded with Yunhai Thirteenth Floor to attempt to subvert the Sui Dynasty secretly?
The girl smiled: "Your Majesty, my name is Yuwen Yihuan. You must have heard that the princess gave birth to a pair of twin daughters back then."
The emperor suddenly realized: "You are the child who died prematurely? You are not dead!"
Yuwen Yihuan nodded: "Fortunately, my righteous brother saved me, otherwise I would have become an unjust ghost in the spring."
Since it is a human being, it is not a ghost, so there is no reason to be afraid. The emperor is ashamed of Yuwen, but Yuwen Yihuan.
His expression quickly calmed down, and his words had returned to his usual majesty.
"Thank you, Master Xiao, for saving Huanniang. I didn't know about Huanniang's existence before. Now that I know, there is no reason to let her stay away. Master Xiao has the kindness of raising Huanniang, and I will never be stingy with gold, silver, wealth, and high officials and generous salaries. Why do you have to go against the court everywhere, harm others and not benefit yourself?"
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worthy of being Your Majesty. He turned his back on defense and attacked him so quickly, and turned to win over Mr. Xiao? Do you really want to give me any reward?"
The emperor realized the trap in this sentence and said calmly: "It depends on whether I can afford it."
Xiao Lu laughed: "Your Majesty is rich all over the world. What can you afford to give me? It depends on whether you are willing to give me or not. You must not agree to the throne, right?"
Emperor: "The nobles of the nine fives, those with virtue are here."
Xiao Lu showed mocking: "De? Is there any gain in the Southern Dynasty's Master Chen today?"
The emperor said lightly: "His ancestors were virtuous. If they were not both virtue and talent, and at the right time, how could they get the throne? After they get the throne, if they do not cultivate virtue, the heavenly fortune will naturally not last long."
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "So, Your Majesty claims to be both talented and virtuous, and is the destiny of heaven?"
The emperor talked freely: "I have been curious about you for a long time. I think what you do is a hero. Being able to gather a group of masters means that you have the ability to let them obey orders. With such talent, why not be on the right path and have to be these shameful traitors?"
He was born in a wealthy and could have been a prosperous life, but he had great ambitions. In addition, Emperor Wu was suspicious at the time, which made him advance instead of retreating and gradually embarked on the road to seize the throne.
But since he ascended the throne, he has been in power and pacified the people, and has been at peace with the outside world, and has changed his stupidity in the first dynasty. Even if he is sorry to the Yuwen family, he is worthy of the people of the world.
Facing Xiao Lu, the emperor naturally had the confidence to question him.
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "What is the right way? It's just that those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis."
The emperor looked serious: "You don't have to always use this to arouse me. I admit that the Yuwen family's country has indeed been taken away by me, but if Yuwen Yun works hard to govern and only uses his talents, why would he give up the country? I guess the illusions I saw before were all done by you? Even if you are dissatisfied with me, Master Lingzang is innocent, so please let him go."
Xiao Lu said: "Of course we will not do anything about monks who are pure in the six senses, but no matter how much your Majesty delays, it is useless. Do you know where this is?"
Emperor: "Not yet asked for advice."
Xiao Lu: "In the Buddha's belly."
The most famous Daxingshan Temple is the Main Hall.
There is a huge Buddha statue in the hall that is more than five feet high. It was cast in the Jin Dynasty. It survived the destruction of the Buddha during the reign of Emperor Wu. Now after ascending the throne, the temple was renovated and the giant Buddha was shaped with a golden body.
The emperor once looked at the Buddha statue up close in the temple, but he did not expect that it was so spacious inside and there was an entrance to enter.
If the evil man has been lurking in the Buddha statue, then even if the temple is martial law a few days ago, searching it inside and outside, and not finding suspicious, it would be normal.
The emperor even thought that if they did not come in from the outside, would it mean that there was another passage under the Buddha statue that could come in from the outside?
Xiao Lu looked at the other party's expression and smiled and said, "With Your Majesty's intelligence, I must have thought of the key."
Emperor: "Even if you have a surprise soldier hidden here, you can't go out of the hall quietly."
Xiao Lu: "Your Majesty misunderstood. The sound of fighting from the backyard just now was not my people, but yours, who were killing each other."
The emperor blurted out: "How is that possible!"
Now, it is meaningless to hide it anymore. Xiao Lu kindly told him: "There is a gu in the ginger soup. Also, there is a secret saying under these Buddha statues. I asked someone to light a hallucinating fragrance under the Buddha statue. These fragrances float out of the holes of the Buddha statues and are mixed with the sandalwood that can be heard everywhere in the hall, which is difficult to detect and identify."
The emperor looked down: "So, did you even harm Master Lingzang to break the precept?"
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "What Your Majesty sees is all false. The four elements of the Spiritual Gathering are empty, and the mind is free of worries. Those incense cannot work for him. I can only let the master lie quietly for a while. After all, my goal is Your Majesty, you."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side, facing the darkness.
"Are you ready?"
The emperor also subconsciously looked in the sound.
In the darkness, one person stepped out.
The emperor suddenly opened his eyes wide.
The man's face and figure, from clothes to style, was exactly the same as him!
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "How long does Your Majesty think it can be delayed?"
The emperor had been asking questions just now, but he did not interrupt and answered questions. This was to allow this fake Sui emperor to capture the details of the other party's joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness in the emperor's words and deeds.
"It's almost done, the poster asked him to say a few more words." The other party said.
Even the sound is already 70% or 80% like.
The emperor was both shocked and angry, but he never expected that the other party would have such a trick.
Xiao Lu said regretfully: "If you want to blame, you can only blame Your Majesty for being too strict in the palace. Once my people infiltrate these days, they will soon be caught by the people of Jiejian Mansion. They have no choice but to make this decision. But don't worry, once this person becomes you, he will definitely properly place the Yang clan before he abdicates his throne, and will not let your reputation go to waste. In the future, the evaluation of Your Majesty in history books is still the wise emperor who held the imperial examination and quelled the Turks."
The emperor had already made up his mind to die and didn't speak, but he couldn't help but hear this-
"Do you think anyone will believe it? Don't treat the queen and all the ministers as fools!"
Xiao Lu smiled and said, "Firstly, Liu Fang and Zheng Yi, who supported you ascended the throne and forged an edict for you, died, and then there was a solar eclipse. This is not obvious that God also believes that Your Majesty is guilty and should not usurp the Yuwen family. Your Majesty repented at Daxingshan Temple for three days, and realized great enlightenment. He decided to follow the example of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty and become a monk and give way. What's the harm if the empress does not believe it with the ministers? It's okay if the people believe it. His Highness the King of Qin has secretly contacted the commander of the imperial guards and won the hearts of the military power. Queen Dugu's condition has not recovered, so I should continue to recuperate."
