Li Chaoge cheered up immediately and asked, "What did you find?"
In fact, Li Chaoge has been wondering for a long time, even if Yinghuo Shouxin?, the sky is in chaos, and the monsters in the Eastern Capital are too frequent during this time. It is now August of the twenty-fourth year of Yonghui, and it is also the first year of Jingming. According to the experience of his previous life, Li Chaoge did not come to Dongdu for the first time until November this year. Therefore, Li Chaoge thought that she hadn't experienced these two years in her previous life, so she didn't know the Raksha bird, the ghost, the black cat demon, etc. Monsters, but gradually, Li Chaoge felt that something was wrong, until she came back from the Wushen Temple, Li Chaoge finally confirmed , there is a problem in this life.
Many things around her are different. Some of them happened in the previous life, but the trajectory of this life is different, and there are also things that did not appear in the previous life at all, but caused a huge disturbance in this life.
In his previous life, Li Chaoge had seen the record of Tubo's entry into Beijing in the history of the country, but he hadn't? Heard of Feitiantu. Moreover, during her lifetime, the relationship between Tubo and Datang was always tense, and there were many frictions on the border. Therefore, Li Chaoge guessed that most of Lou Sheng released Fei Tian in his previous life. Unfortunately, no one retrieved those Fei Tian. The Tubo national treasure map had an accident in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The Tubo envoy was very angry, and the two countries turned against each other.
The black cat demon is the reincarnation of Concubine Xiao Shu. Concubine Xiao Shu died at the hands of the Queen of Heaven in both lives. Moreover, someone in the palace had seen a black cat five or six years ago. But after Tianhou came to power in the previous life, she raised cats publicly, and Tianhou didn't seem to be afraid of cats. It can be seen that the black cat in the previous life didn't have much influence on Tianhou. Then, why is it suddenly so strange in this life that it can even scratch Li Chaoge's arm
Apart from these monsters that have changed greatly, there are still some that just popped up out of thin air in this life. Li Chaoge had read the annals of monsters in the Eastern Capital in his previous life, but there was no record of the Raksha bird and the spirit ghost. The son does not talk about strange powers and gods, and the official documents of the court are extremely taboo about ghosts and gods. Li Chaoge doesn't know whether these two things are nothing, or didn't happen at all. However, based on Li Chaoge's contact with the Pei family, Pei Chuyue didn't seem to have experienced a ghost marriage, and when everyone in the Pei family mentioned Biao Gongzi and Pei Chuyue, they didn't seem to shy away from it. Coupled with the marriage letter that Li Chaoge saw, Li Chaoge was basically sure that the ghost marriage was an accident brought about by "Gu Mingke" in this life.
After all, according to the trajectory of the previous life, "Gu Mingke" was going to die of illness in October this year, but Li Chaoge didn't look like he was going to die of illness from the look of his son-in-law. Li Chaoge had an inexplicable intuition that the dark marriage was mostly caused by him.
Pretty people are a real disaster.
If Li Chaoge, the previous monsters, still doubts, then she can guarantee that it must be a new occurrence in this life. Datang officials record the local weather, geography, population, and incidents every day. If a major accident such as the destruction of the entire village occurs, it will definitely be included in the record, but Li Chaoge has no impression. It can be seen that there must be something about Guibei Village and Wushen Temple? It's tricky.
Why is there such a big discrepancy between the two worlds? Li Chaoge thought for a long time, and found that the biggest difference between the two lives lies in Gu Mingke.
The disturbing factors in this life include the reborn Li Chaoge and Pei Ji'an, and Gu Mingke with a mysterious background. Li Chaoge and Pei Ji'an are also in the game. Li Chaoge can't make trouble for himself. If Pei Ji'an can do such things as tame the cat demon and bring the dead back to life, he won't be forced to a dead end by Li Chaoge in his previous life. After thinking about it, the only one who has the possibility and the ability to make such a big battle is Gu Mingke.
Gu Mingke won't harm people, but his origin is a mystery, who knows if there will be? The enemy's old friends can't understand him, and deliberately make trouble for him.
Recently, the word Kui frequently appeared around Li Chaoge, and Qianyuan Sword and Wushen Temple echoed each other. Li Chaoge's first breakthrough point was Emperor Kui.
Emperor Kui is a dead person, and the Kui Kingdom does not know how long it will be destroyed. The history books are blank, so we can only start with the dead. Fortunately, singer Li Chao has Mo Linlang, she asked Mo Linlang to ask the ghosts. After asking for a long time, finally got the news today.
Mo Linlang replied: "The ancient times are too far away from the present. There are not many people who know Emperor Kui. I found a fox ghost and asked him to inquire in the clan at the price of sending him incense candles. When he came back, he said that this Kui Emperor The emperor must not be provoked. The elders in their clan heard that it was inquiring about Emperor Kui, so they were so frightened that they immediately alerted it, saying that they should not get close to any place related to Emperor Kui. There was once a ghost that strayed in accidentally, and never came out after that. Pass."
Li Chaoge asked, "Do they know where the tomb of Emperor Kui is?"
"I don't know." Mo Linlang shook his head truthfully, "It's just a rumor. It seems that among the monsters, they all know that things related to Emperor Kui should not be touched. They say that Emperor Kui is the fate of the emperor, and if the dragon's veins are suppressed, whoever gets it will die."
Li Chaoge felt a little regretful, she thought she could learn the location of the imperial mausoleum from ghosts. Li Chaoge asked again: "So many emperors have died since ancient times, why are they only afraid of Emperor Kui?"
Mo Linlang said: "Because the Kui Kingdom is prevalent? Witchcraft, there are always all kinds of weird secret arts in the tombs related to the Kui Kingdom, and after Emperor Kui ascended the throne, he has been asking immortals, looking for the elixir of life, There are more organs in the mausoleum than others. The Emperor Kui is the only one who respects himself and hates others to break into his territory. It is said that Emperor Kui built an underground palace for himself, in which countless gold and silver treasures were buried. At the beginning, some people stared at He wanted to steal treasures from his tomb, but no matter whether it was a living person or a wild ghost, anyone who entered his tomb would not die well after they came out, and even the descendants would not be spared. According to the saying, people from extinct families, ghosts who died unjustly, and the tomb of Emperor Kui, the three should not be touched."
After hearing this, Li Chaoge pondered, and asked: "Since Emperor Kui is so powerful, should we keep him? There are many descendants. Why all? There are only Emperor Kui in the legend, but no? His descendants?"
"The fox ghost said that after Emperor Kui came to the throne, he pursued longevity, and he had few heirs. After his death, he had no children, and he was beheaded in the second generation. His son did not leave any blood, so there is no descendant of Emperor Kui."
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, so miserable? The rumors were full of bullshit, and Li Chaoge thought that Emperor Kui was so powerful, but in the end, what happened behind him was so sloppy.
When Li Chaoge asked other questions, Mo Linlang didn't know anymore. Li Chaoge asked Mo Linlang to go back. After they left, she walked slowly to the window, staring at the shade of trees outside the window.
The records about him in the history books are vague, and the legend of the Martial God Temple is too mysterious. Li Chaoge combined the news he heard from various sources, peeled off the cocoons, and roughly restored the life trajectory of an ancient proud man.
Stripped of the myth? Color, this is a story of a proud son of heaven killing all directions. He was born as the son of the kingdom, and was divined by the high priest as the natural king's life. His parents took it seriously and devoted all their efforts to cultivating him ever since. This young man also strives for success. He has shown intelligence far beyond his peers since he was a child. From the perspective of the emperor, Li Chaoge felt that he should have noticed that the existence of the high priest greatly dispersed the royal power, so he showed an attitude of pro-god and sacrificial worship, so that when he ascended the throne, politics and religion could be united, and the royal power and The power of the gods is all in their own hands.
If the legend of the village of the undead is not exaggerated, then he was only twelve years old when he did this. He has this kind of consciousness at the age of twelve, which is worthy of the name of precocious wisdom.
It is indeed the material to be an emperor.
Later, the son gradually grew up and began to fight everywhere. Li Chaoge actually doesn't understand why his parents let him go out to fight, carefully cultivated and given him high expectations, if something happens to the heir on the battlefield, wouldn't it be all? Efforts will be in vain? But he went out, and if there is any help, his record is outstanding, and there are even rumors among the people that he is a god of war. It is not known whether the royal palace contributed to Li Chaoge's actions, but military exploits are medals for any emperor, and no one would refuse such a reputation. Later, the folks even turned him into a mythical image of a god with three eyes and eight arms reaching heaven and earth.
Looking at the statue of the Martial God Temple, this young master used Qianyuan Sword when he was fighting abroad. No wonder Sheng Lanchu said that it was a fierce sword with a very murderous aura. It was an ancient sword that had been on the battlefield and slept for an unknown number of years.
The sword is the king of all soldiers, the longer the time, the more people you kill, the more fierce the sword becomes. Moreover, in order to enhance the fortune of Qianyuan Sword, Kui Kingdom even used human sacrifices to this sword. From this point of view, Li Chaoge was not wronged when he died under Qian Yuan's sword in his previous life.
After that, there is very little news. Li Chaoge only knows that he unified the nations and proclaimed himself emperor. Years of long-cherished wishes come true, it should have been a high-spirited time, but the direction of his life after that is a bit confusing. I won't say anything about my son's life, he himself is obsessed with searching for immortals and asking for immortality. The most important thing after years of fighting was to cultivate his health, but he was buried with enough gold, silver and jewels to empty the national treasury. Looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, Emperor Kui also found many living people to be buried with him. These practices are really not wise.
It's not like the behavior of a monarch who knows how to check and balance at the age of twelve.
Li Chaoge thought of the rumors about the Undead Village. According to the legend, Emperor Kui was enlightened and ascended by the gods. Is this because the emperor was obsessed with seeking immortality, and the common people made rumors about fate, or did it really happen
Li Chaoge stared at the shadow of the tree and thought, when someone came outside suddenly, saying that the Queen Mother had summoned him.
Li Chaoge entered the palace, and now the Queen of Heaven has been promoted to the Empress Dowager, and the palace has also been moved from the Wencheng Palace to the Longevity Palace. The palace maid is sending a message outside? Is there no queen? Turn around and say, "Tell her to come in."
Li Chaoge entered the Hall of Eternal Life and bowed to the Queen Mother: "I will see the Queen Mother."
Tianhou stood inside the screen and waved to Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge walked around the screen and entered the inner hall. Tianhou showed Li Chaoge the painting scroll in front of him and asked, "Chaoge, what do you think of this picture?"
Li Chaoge looked up, and there was a Bodhisattva in the picture, with a solemn treasure, kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Li Chaoge's knowledge of Buddhist scriptures was limited, so she looked at it for a while, but she really didn't recognize which Bodhisattva it was.
Li Chaoge said: "I have little talent and little learning, so I dare not speak falsely about the Bodhisattva. The golden body of a Bodhisattva has immeasurable merit. How did the Empress Dowager study Buddhism?"
The Queen of Heaven smiled? Walking out of the inner hall, Li Chaoge followed the Queen of Heaven and sat down with the Queen of Heaven. Tianhou picked up a string of Buddhist beads, fiddled with them, and said, "No wonder you can't recognize it. This is the goddess of pure light in the "Da Yun Jing". open."
Li Chaoge responded, and asked, "So that's the case. I don't know what Buddhist teachings are taught by the Great Cloud Sutra?"
"The Great Cloud Sutra records that Jingguang Tiannv listened to the Great Nirvana Sutra next to the Buddha. The Buddha told Jingguang Tiannv that she would become a Bodhisattva and reincarnate as a human being in the female body. It is a queen, and later generations sacrificed their heavenly bodies and became kings in the body of a woman, and finally their merits and virtues were consummated, and they became a Buddha with great freedom."
Li Chaoge showed an appearance of being educated, but he was thinking in his heart, how many Buddhist classics did Tianhou search to find such a rare Buddhist scripture from a corner. Anyway, Li Chaoge has never heard of Jingguang Tiannv, let alone? I have seen people enshrine the "Great Cloud Sutra".
Buddhism believes that the soul of a person is immortal, and if he accumulates virtue in this life, he will enjoy blessings in reincarnation. Therefore, past and present lives are all experiences of one person. The Pure Light Goddess was the wife of a king in her previous life. After reincarnation, she will become a king to rule a country, and then she will become a Buddha. This story is so pleasing to the queen.
The first half is the queen's experience, and the second half is the queen's dream. Tianhou is the emperor's wife. If Tianhou is the reincarnation of the Jingguang celestial girl, shouldn't she obey the destiny and ascend the throne as emperor
Li Chaoge understood that Tianhou was trying to test her. Smart people never need to talk too much. If they talk to this level, they should have understood it long ago. After Li Chaoge listened to the story of the Jingguang celestial girl, he nodded in admiration and said, "The Jingguang celestial girl is so supernatural. My minister has been taught today."
The Queen of Heaven smiled, her eyes fixed on Li Chaoge, and said: "Our Central Plains promotes Confucianism and Taoism, which is very different from Tianzhu. In Buddhism, there are female Bodhisattvas and queens, but Confucius and Mencius said that the hen is like the morning, and the only way is home. If Jingguang Tiannv devoted herself to the Great Tang, she might not be able to become a Buddha."
Li Chaoge looks calm and casual, but what he says is careful: "The most important national affairs are the most taboo? No change. Confucius and Mencius respected Zhou etiquette, but if Zhou Tianzi governed the country in the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it would not be appropriate." Governance must keep pace with the times, even if Confucius and Mencius had great sages, they could not predict all aspects of future generations."
Tianhou's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes showed satisfaction. Li Chaoge breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, and Tianhou smiled and said to her: "Chaoge, you say you have little talent, but in my opinion, your understanding of Buddhism is clearly very high."
Li Chaoge lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The Empress of Heaven is absurd, my son's class is messing with the axe."
Tin Hau waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about? I had a dream a few days ago. After I woke up, I couldn't forget it."
Li Chaoge heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and then said: "I don't know what dream the Empress had?"
The Queen of Heaven said: "It's mysterious. I walked to Luoshui in my dream. I saw fish jumping and flying by the side of Luoshui, and a dragon pulling a chariot. A golden man came down from the cloud chariot and handed it to me. A picture, and told me that this picture is a secret, and it records the strategy of governing the country. But when I woke up, I couldn’t remember the content of the picture.”
Li Chaoge blinked, vaguely understanding something. Tianhou leaned on Pingshi, tapped the center of her eyebrows, and said distressedly: "Look at my memory, God and man bestowed pictures, how could I forget it."
Li Chaoge lowered her eyelids quickly, then she raised her head and said to the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, Empress Dowager? Hurry up, since you saw the treasure map by the Luoshui River, I will go to the upper reaches of the Luoshui River to look for it, maybe you can find it." turn up."
Tianhou nodded and said, "That's fine. After all, it's a gift from God, so don't be careless."
Li Chaoge raised his hand and bowed slightly empty: "I understand."
Bai Qianhe leaned against the window, squinted his eyes, and yawned long. I don't know why, but he is very energetic on weekdays, and he can't help but feel sleepy when he enters the demon town.
He leaned half asleep for a while, and there was the sound of entering the door outside, and people greeted one after another: "Commander." Bai Qianhe opened one eye and saw Li Chaoge striding back from the outside. She was wearing plain clothes. , completely white with no decorations, walking in the sun, almost blinding people's eyes.
Bai Qianhe stretched out his hand to cover the sunlight in front of his eyes, changed direction, and planned to continue sleeping. But Li Chaoge didn't? Slow down, she walked straight to the East Hall, and said, "Bai Qianhe, Zhou Shao, Mo Linlang, get ready to pack up and leave Beijing with me tomorrow."
Mo Linlang was sorting out the files. When she heard this, she stood up in surprise: "Going out of Beijing again? Did something important happen outside?"
Zhou Shao also stopped his movements, and the three of them were called away together, presumably it was a very serious case. Bai Qianhe reluctantly opened his eyes, stretched his waist and asked, "That's right, what happened again? I haven't heard of it recently? A monster."
Li Chaoge didn't go into details, but said in one sentence: "Is there? I have to leave it to you. We are going to Luoshui and get ready for a change of clothes. We will leave on time tomorrow." After returning to the princess mansion, the maids heard Li Chaoge was about to leave Beijing again, so he couldn't help complaining: "The princess just got married, and she will have a happy birthday in a few days, so she has to leave Beijing again."
"Yeah, the princess is busy, and so is the son-in-law. The princess and the son-in-law go out early in the morning and return late at night. They live in the same mansion and don't see each other often. Now that the princess has to go out of Beijing, there is even less time for each other."
Li Chaoge was a little embarrassed, and quickly glanced in Gu Mingke's direction. She and Gu Mingke got married by agreement, and they had agreed to live their own lives after marriage and not to disturb each other. At first, Li Chaoge was still worrying about how to separate in a legitimate way, but Li Ze passed away on the second day of the wedding. In this way, no one has to be embarrassed. Gu Mingke moved to another courtyard in the name of keeping filial piety, and each lived in his own house. , but also live in peace.
The two of them had an agreement long ago, but the maid in the princess mansion didn't know about it. Seeing that the princess and the son-in-law just got married, they were "forced" to sleep in separate rooms. They were so anxious that they tried every means to make the two meet each other every day. You can't sleep together, but you can always eat together. The maids insist on pulling Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke together so that they eat together every day.
Gu Mingke didn't? He objected, and this matter was tacitly accepted. Unexpectedly, Li Chaoge just asked the maid to pack the luggage, and they said these words at the dinner table
Li Chaoge endured the embarrassment, and scolded the maid, "In the face of important national affairs, how can you allow children's private affairs. It is the Queen Mother's order to leave the palace, so don't talk too much."
Li Chaoge was especially afraid that Gu Mingke would misunderstand and mistakenly think that she was restraining him in the name of marriage. After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and explained unintentionally: "The maid makes her own decisions, so Shaoqing doesn't need to care."
Gu Mingke put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and said, "In the princess mansion, the princess still calls me an official position?"
Li Chaoge was dumbfounded by his question, she got stuck, and couldn't help saying: "Otherwise?"
"I don't really care, but if other people listen to it, I'm afraid they will doubt the relationship between you and me." Gu Mingke put down the veil and added, "Of course, I'm not blaming the princess, she can be called whatever she wants."
Li Chaoge thought about it again, although the two of them agreed to get married, they always had to put on a show in front of outsiders. If other people heard that the two of them called each other official positions as if they were in the court, they might feel suspicious, and it would be bad if there were extra problems. Li Chaoge nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, then what should I call you?"
"My word is Bingheng."
Bingheng, Li Chaoge read these two characters silently, and asked casually: "It seems that I have never heard of the Pei family picking characters for you before."
Gu Mingke's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I took it myself."
Li Chaoge responded. It is normal for a man to choose his own characters when he is an adult. She didn't think too much, and said, "Then you don't have to call me princess, you can call me by my name."
Gu Mingke nodded lightly, he seemed to think of something, and said, "In fact, I have wanted to ask for a long time, your name is Chaoge, is it Song of Morning, or the capital of Shang Dynasty?"
"Ducheng Chaoge." Li Chaoge had almost finished eating, she put down her things, and gossiped while cleaning her hands, "Back then, Tianhou named me, and specially chose Shangdu. She said that the country's capital would be the only way to suppress good luck. "
Gu Mingke nodded, that's true. The maid removed the things, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the princess and the son-in-law. Li Chaoge actually wanted to leave, but Gu Mingke didn't move, and asked, "Where does the Queen Mother tell you to go?"
Li Chaoge hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Luohe."
Now that they are husband and wife, they are one in the eyes of outsiders. That being the case, why avoid him in everything? It's boring.
Gu Mingke didn't? Asked Li Chaoge what he was doing in Luohe, he raised his head and looked at Li Chaoge quietly, and said, "Pay attention to safety, and put yourself first in everything."
Li Chaoge is in a daze, is Gu Mingke telling her? Li Chaoge felt a little surprised, he was startled for a while before nodding: "Okay."
·
In September, Li Chaoge took people out of the capital. However, the town demon department was always elusive, and Li Chaoge spent more than half of the year outside Luoyang, so the people in the palace didn't take it seriously, and only thought that Li Chaoge went out to investigate the case.
Pei Ji'an entered the palace and asked, "Where is the saint?"
All the court ladies saluted together: "Go back to Pei Sheren, the saint is in Lingbo Pavilion."
When Pei Ji'an heard this place, his heart tightened and he hurried over.
It stands to reason that Pei Ji'an and Li Changle divorced, and Li Huaizuo, as Li Changle's closest brother, should always be a little distant when seeing Pei Ji'an. But the elder brother's position is different from that of his father. Li Ze is angry with Pei Ji'an and insists on retiring the engagement, but Li Huai misses more about the friendship they grew up with. What's more, some time ago, Li Huai was appointed the crown prince in a hurry, and everything he did was a mess. It was Pei Ji'an who helped Li Huai get used to everything. Now that Li Huai is enthroned as emperor, he naturally values Pei Ji'an a lot more. As for his sister's pettiness, it is not worth mentioning in Li Huai's eyes.
Pei Ji'an's assisting Li Huai was not speculative, he really hoped that Li Huai could secure the throne and prevent Empress Wu from usurping the country. Pei Ji'an remembered that after Li Huai ascended the throne in his previous life, he angered the Queen of Heaven because he misbehaved with a court lady next to her. Tianhou reprimanded Li Huai in front of the courtiers for being unworthy of being an emperor, so she abandoned Li Huai and imprisoned him in Miyagi. Tianhou came to the court as the empress dowager, and it didn't take long before she established herself as emperor.
It is a big stain for children to insult their mothers and maidservants. Although the Queen of Heaven abolished Li Huai's throne, although the courtiers were not angry, they had nothing to say. Who made Li Huaizhen get caught.
Many courtiers took turns to rescue Li Huai, and finally rescued Li Huai outside the palace. After the day, Li Huai was restored to the title of King Zhao, and Li Huai became the prince again from the emperor. Although Li Huai's life was safe, he was scared out of his wits by this encounter. Since then, he has lived in the shadow of his mother and has been trembling all the time.
Pei Ji'an was close to Li Huai and Li Changle in his previous life. He once heard Li Changle complain that Li Huai was not disrespectful to his mother and maid, but was wronged. The truth of the matter is that the maids around Tianhou liked Li Huai and intended to throw herself into her arms, but Li Huai, as the emperor, had never seen any beauties before, so he disdained that mediocre court lady at all, and his tone was not very nice when he refused. The maid held a grudge because of this, and later she deliberately said that Li Huai forced her, and the queen was furious and abandoned Li Huai.
Pei Ji'an had a vague impression that the place where the maid recommended herself to Li Huai as a pillow mat was Lingbo Pavilion.
