It rained in Luoyang, the weather quickly cooled down, the trees were desolate, and winter entered in the blink of an eye.
The town monster's uniform was changed to a quilted one, and Bai Qianhe sat by the fire, reading Li Chaoge's masterpiece while keeping warm. Holding Li Chaoge's memorial in his hand, he was amazed: "I really can't see it? Come on, the conductor made you have such a literary talent."
Li Chaoge is embarrassed, this is not written by her, the person with literary talent is Gu Mingke. Li Chaoge said: "I asked someone to give me advice, and I purposely changed it according to the form of the memorial. I showed it to you so that you can study hard and don't waste my time with nonsense paper next time."
Bai Qianhe closed the folder, curled her lips and said, "What Gu Shaoqing wrote was Zhilan Yushu, and what I wrote was bullshit. Oh, I understand."
Li Chaoge paused, and said, "Isn't Zhilan Yushu used like this?"
"Understand the meaning? That's good." Bai Qianhe bumped into Zhou Shao, "Do you understand my idioms?"
Zhou Shao didn't understand what words he said, but he understood Bai Qianhe's meaning strangely? The only few laborers in the town demon division lowered their heads, afraid to speak due to the majesty of their superiors. Who did Li Chaoge turn to for advice? It's really hard to guess.
A strange silence spread in the East Hall. Li Chaoge coughed, forcibly interrupted the atmosphere, and said, "I want you to learn as you go, and don't grind around. I will give you ten days to recite the whole text. After ten days, I will recite the whole text one by one. Spot check."
God? Oh, Zhou Shao and Bai Qianhe all showed expressions that life would be better than death. Mo Linlang was the only person present who studied seriously. She put away the memorial with great care, and planned to ask Mrs. Xun to explain it word by word when she went back.
In the past few days, Mo Linlang has been learning to write with Xun Siyu. Xun Siyu didn't want to accept an apprentice at first, but when she first came to Luoyang, she had no livelihood, and Mo Linlang was obedient and quiet, with a pitiful background, so Xun Siyu couldn't bear it, so she accepted this apprentice. Later, Mo Linlang wanted to find a new house, so she persuaded Xun Siyu to move with her to an alley in the west of the city. That alley was quiet and quiet, the law and order was excellent, and the rent was very cheap. Xun Siyu was persuaded and moved there.
Both of them are single women and live next to each other. Firstly, it is convenient for Mo Linlang to study, and secondly, they can take care of each other. Mo Linlang didn't tell Xun Siyu that Zhou Shao had found these two houses for them, and it was Zhou Shao's fault that no one around them dared to harass them. However, Mo Linlang felt that even if she didn't say anything, Xun Siyu knew it in her heart.
Otherwise, Tangtang Dongdu? Where can I find a clean and tidy house with a good location and such a cheap price
When Bai Qianhe thought that he was going to memorize the literary scriptures, he felt very unhappy all over his body. Bai Qianhe said: "The Dali Temple next door has been so busy these days? Why are we so free and still have time to recite memorials?"
These few days? Dali Temple is indeed very busy. It seems that there is a murder case in the city. Fanbang congratulatory team will enter the city immediately. Li Chaoge glanced at Bai Qianhe lightly, and said, "Stop thinking about it, and you can recite it if you ask me to. But having said that, these days? You all? Pay attention, the foreign team is coming soon." , I heard that Tubo also sent their national treasures. When it comes to the Yan Zong of the Tang Dynasty, we must not make trouble at this juncture."
Bai Qianhe and the others nodded, they understood this truth. Bai Qianhe was curious and asked, "What country? Treasure?"
"I don't know, it seems to be a picture." Li Chaoge is not too clear about this matter, she heard it from the people around her in the palace, but she didn't ask for details. Li Chaoge said: "For foreign affairs, Honglu Temple is in charge. No matter what kind of treasure it is, return to Honglu Temple to worry about it. It has nothing to do with us. During this time, when you are patrolling, keep an eye on foreign officials. Don't let the ghosts and monsters make trouble. It is enough to last until this group of foreign envoys leave."
Bai Qianhe and the others nodded together. The end of the year is approaching, and the imperial court will be on holiday. This period is the busiest time for the people, and at the same time, it is also the busiest time for security departments such as the Forbidden Army, Yamen, Dali Temple, and Zhenyaosi. Especially at the end of the year, there are foreign envoys in the city, and the difficulty of public security has increased several degrees.
Li Chaoge is very careful, and strictly restrains the demon boss, and refuses to cause any trouble during this period of time. However, she didn't cause trouble, but things did trouble her. On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, when the annual holiday was about to begin, Li Chaoge suddenly received a message from the servant, saying that the sage had summoned him.
The call came suddenly? After Li Chaoge rushed over, he found that people from Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment were all there. Gu Mingke followed the minister of Dali Temple, and there were a few foreigners mixed in the crowd. Li Chaoge only took a glance, then looked away, and bowed to the emperor calmly: "My minister sees the saint."
The emperor waved his hand wearily and said, "Chao Ge, you are here. Please forgive me."
Li Chaoge knew something had happened when he saw those aliens. As expected, he heard the emperor say: "The Tubo envoys came to the Eastern Capital to present treasures, but during this period of time, something happened. ? Something went wrong."
Li Chaoge's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the treasure map of Tubo's kingdom was lost? If you lose the picture, go to Honglu Temple, what do you want to do with Zhenyaosi? Isn't the demon town of Dongdu? Urban management, what kind of trouble? Go to the town of demons.
Li Chaoge didn't like it a hundred times. The last thing she wanted to do was involve foreigners. If she did well, she should, and if she did anything wrong, she would become a sinner. But when the emperor spoke, Li Chaoge had to tell Mr. Z., asking, "Is there such a thing?"
Those Tubo people dressed in Fanbang got excited, and they spoke Tubo in a jabber, with very excited expressions. The official of Honglu Temple translated: "The Great Gong Theory says that the Feitian map is their national treasure. It was brought to Tubo by Princess Chidu and has been enshrined in the Tubo Temple for many years. Zanpu admired the elegance of the Tang emperor, Wishing to have eternal friendship with the Tang Dynasty, so I specially brought the national treasure map to present. But unexpectedly, I encountered such a strange thing in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo is dedicated to friendship, please Tang Emperor and ?All of you, give Tubo an explanation."
Li Chaoge was speechless, that's why she hated to meddle in Fanbang's affairs, she was always promoted to the country? Li Chaoge said: "The Tang Dynasty is a tolerant country. If it is a friend who comes from afar, the Tang Dynasty is willing to welcome it with open arms. If it is a wolf, the Tang Dynasty will not tolerate it. The saint is kind and loves the people like a son. If? If the Tubo envoys really encountered injustice, the sage would definitely uphold justice. I just don’t know, what happened to the Tubo national treasure?”
The officials of Honglu Temple translated Li Chaoge's words to the Tubo people. After the Tubo people listened, the leader-like man who was just called Dagonglun clapped his hands and motioned for people to bring things up.
Li Chaoge saw? The scroll on their plate, the heart? Want to fly? Isn't the picture still there? Why did the Tibetans say it was lost? While speaking in Tubo, Da Gong Lun untied the scroll, and opened the national treasure map in front of the emperor and all his courtiers.
The officials on Datang's side cheered up slightly, but when they saw the blueprints, everyone was stunned.
The scroll turned out to be a blank piece of paper. There was no flying apsaras at all on the Z, but there were dense seals around it, including the Tubo Imperial Seal. The seal cannot be forged, this is the real picture of Feitian, but the characters on the Z are gone.
The emperor sighed and rubbed his eyebrows secretly. Today, the Tubo envoy entered the palace early in the morning, saying that something strange happened to their national treasure. The emperor immediately summoned his ministers and sent someone to call Li Chaoge over, but the emperor didn't expect it? The strange thing was even weirder than he expected.
The blueprint is still there, but the characters on Z? are gone.
Li Chaoge knew why the emperor asked her to come here. No one was willing to take over such a weird thing except her. The officials on Datang's side chatted in low voices, and one of them asked, "Da Gonglun, what was originally drawn on this blueprint?"
The Dagonglun spoke a lot of Tubo language. None of the emperors and prime ministers present, including Li Chaoge, could understand Tubo language, so they could only concentrate on listening to the translation from Honglu Temple. But the voice of Da Gong Lun was very loud, and the translation from Honglu Temple was intermittent, and there were many Buddhist names in it. Li Chaoge tried hard to listen to a long section, but felt that he didn't understand anything.
To sum up, this picture is very precious, and it tells the scene of the Buddha's banquet. The Buddha saved all sentient beings, gave fire to the world during the banquet, flew around the sky, and made fun for the heavens. But now, Buddha is gone, Feitian is gone, and there is only a blank sheet of paper left.
To be honest, Li Chaoge actually suspected that the Tibetans blackmailed them. Maybe this picture was originally blank, but Tubo Zanpu printed the national seal on the edge, and used it to touch porcelain in the Tang Dynasty. There were not a few people present who had the same idea as Li Chaoge, and the Minister of Rites remained calm and said, "Feitian? What happened? This old minister is very sad. I have studied Buddhism a little, so I don't know if I can transfer Feitian? Give it to the old minister, let the old minister take a closer look?"
After Honglu Temple relayed the words of the Minister of Rites, Da Gonglun didn't hesitate much, and happily handed over Fei Tian? Tu. All eyes on the scene immediately turned to the Minister of Rites. Li Chaoge stared closely at the Minister of Rites. He saw the Minister of Rites holding the picture to watch carefully, chatting with others, and finally nodded slowly to the emperor.
Both the jade seal and the official seal are real, and there is also the national seal of the mudra on Z. Forty years ago, Princess Chidu married from Navala to Tubo, bringing with her a golden body, a Buddha statue and a picture of flying apsaras. Even if Tubo could forge the Zanpu seal, the national seal of Nivala could not be forged. In other words, this picture is real, and the characters on Z? really disappeared.
The emperor frowned, fighting back the headache. This year is really an eventful year. At the beginning of the year, we frequently encountered demons and ghosts. Black bears, raksha birds, and ghosts one after another. By the end of the year, such strange incidents still appeared. The emperor has lived for such a long time, but he has never heard of such a strange story that the person in the painting ran away.
Li Chaoge gave up. With her last sliver of hope, she asked, "I don't know what is painted on the picture? I know it's Feitian? I mean? What does the specific figure look like?"
According to Honglu Temple, everyone in the Tang Dynasty pricked up their ears, ready to listen to the long lecture on Da Gong Lun, but in the end, Da Gong Lun only uttered one or two words. Li Chaoge thought that the Tubo language is different from the Chinese vocabulary, and a short sentence can represent a lot of meanings. As a result, after the people from Honglu Temple translated it, there were indeed only two words: "Many flying days?"
Complete word Z? Meaning? On, a lot, Flying Apsaras
Li Chaoge thought that this explanation would be better not to mention it. Could it be that she couldn't guess it on such a big piece of paper? Did she draw a lot of people? But after Honglu Temple asked again, the Dagong theory couldn't say anything? What. Tubo is different from the Tang Dynasty. Everyone from the royal family to the common people has faith. When they see Feitian, they must bow down devoutly and make a pilgrimage. They are not allowed to look directly at the appearance of Buddha and Feitian. Dagong can tell the story of Buddha's reincarnation for three days? Three nights, but if you ask him what the Buddha and Gandharva look like, he can't tell.
Everyone here at Datang is suffering from a headache. There are many things to do at the end of the year, but what is this kind of strange situation
If such a thing happened to a good national treasure of Tubo in the eastern capital, Datang really should give an explanation. The emperor looked up and said, "Where are the Dali Temple and the Demon Lord?"
Li Chaoge froze, and Gu Mingke came out almost at the same time. The voices of the two were different, but they overlapped strangely: "The minister is here."
The emperor looked at the two of them with satisfaction and asked, "Which of you can solve this case?"
After the emperor finished speaking, he waited expectantly for the two to answer. However, neither Gu Mingke nor Li Chaoge moved. The field Z? was extremely quiet for a while, and Li Chaoge had a headache. She was about to say something to smooth things over when she heard Gu Mingke say: "The minister recommends the conductor, Princess Sheng Yuan."
Li Chaoge cursed in his heart at that time, Gu Mingke is not a man! Today it was Pei Ji'an's turn to be on duty by the emperor's side. Hearing this, he also looked at Li Chaoge.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Chaoge really couldn't kick the ball back. Li Chaoge bit the bullet and said, "Thanks to Gu Shaoqing for looking up to me. I am willing to try my best."
Gu Mingke nodded, as if he didn't hear it? It seemed that Li Chaoge was talking ironically, and said: "Commanders don't need to be humble, and it is the duty of ministers to choose talents and talents."
Gu Mingke didn't refuse, but because he felt from the bottom of his heart that this was a matter of ghosts and ghosts, and it really should be under the control of the demon town chief. The functions of the two institutions are clearly stated. Dali Temple is in charge of prisons, and it handles civil and criminal cases. If the "Feitian" picture is lost, it is theft and it will be under the management of Dali Temple. But the person on the picture is gone. Obviously, this is not within the scope of ordinary people's abilities, so naturally, it is under the control of the town demon.
This answer is similar to what the emperor expected. The emperor nodded and said to Li Chaoge: "Okay, since? You have confidence? Then I will leave it to you. During the investigation of the case, this picture should also be kept by the Zhenyaosi."
Li Chaoge grinned in his heart, yes, she has to keep the national treasure for Tubo. If it gets bumped, gets dirty, gets burned, it's all her responsibility. Li Chaoge sighed secretly, but still stepped forward generously, took the blueprint and said: "I obey."
The emperor was not in good spirits, and after such a toss, the headache became more and more severe. Seeing this, the servants sent all the ministers and Tubo envoys out. Before the ministers were repatriated, the emperor deliberately kept Li Chaoge down, saying: "Chaoge, the Tubo Kingdom? Bao Feitian? Tubo has something to do with the two countries? Make good friends, and we must solve it as soon as possible."
Li Chaoge sighed softly, raised his hand, and replied neatly: "Yes. Don't worry, the saint? My son will never fall into the face of the Tang Dynasty."
What did the emperor say to Li Chaoge again, and he sent Li Chaoge away. After Li Chaoge left, the emperor finally couldn't bear the headache, showing a deep fatigue. Seeing this, Pei Ji'an persuaded him in a low voice: "Saint, Tubo is a land of barbarians, so there should be no danger. Don't overwork yourself, the most important thing is to take care of your health."
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, border troubles have been very serious. Especially in Tubo, the two countries have been at odds for a long time, and there are conflicts on the border every year. This time Tubo Zanpu sent a prime minister to show his favor, not only Tubo valued it, but even the emperor attached great importance to it.
The emperor's headache became more and more serious, but the prince was always soft-tempered and weak. The emperor really didn't want to start a war with Tubo at this juncture.
It is better to be able to make peace or make peace. At least wait until the emperor lifts up the prince, so that the Tang Dynasty will not have no successors.
There was no one in the hall, and the emperor sighed to the courtiers around him, "I hope Chaoge can resolve this matter satisfactorily. This year has been an eventful year, and there will be no more turmoil."
Mentioning Li Chaoge, Pei Ji'an felt embarrassing and complicated, but also had an unspeakable pride. Pei Ji'an said with certainty, "She will definitely."
Li Chaoge was left by the emperor to speak, and when he came out, the others had already left. Li Chaoge returned silently to the Town Demon Division. She hung the picture of Feitian in the side room of the main hall, and stood in front of the picture, looking at it silently.
Seeing that Li Chaoge shut himself in the main hall as soon as he came back, Bai Qianhe was very curious and ran over to see, "Commander, what did the saint tell you to do?"
"You're here." Li Chaoge, eyes still fixed on the blueprint, sighed and said, "Call the others over."
Zhou Shao and Mo Linlang will arrive soon. They noticed that Li Chaoge was uncharacteristically silent today. They stepped forward and saw Li Chaoge staring intently at a piece of white paper, wishing they could stare a hole out of the upper Z? On the other side, Bai Qianhe was still shaking his head, and couldn't help admiring: "Good painting, really good painting."
Mo Linlang was surprised, she looked at the paper carefully again, her expression gradually began to hesitate: "Is there something on Z?"
"Yes." Bai Qianhe asked in an unbelievable tone, "You can't see it? Oh, by the way, only smart people can see this painting?"
Mo Linlang was stunned. She herself has yin and yang eyes, and can see ghosts that other people can't see, so when Bai Qianhe said this, Mo Linlang believed it without much doubt. Zhou Shao couldn't see it, so he slapped Bai Qianhe on the back of his head: "Listen to his nonsense, this is a blank sheet of paper."
Zhou Shao was born with divine power, and Bai Qianhe was almost slapped into cerebral palsy by Zhou Shao's slap. He rubbed the back of his head in pain, and said angrily: "What blank paper, didn't you see it? Is there a stamp on the side? This is a painting, you don't know how to appreciate it, don't accuse me. This is called art, art!"
Zhou Shao looked back at the blueprint, looking at it, he still felt that it was a piece of white paper, a piece of old and not very clean white paper. Zhou Shao shook his head, giving up appreciation of art.
The three of them were fighting, and Li Chaoge folded her arms and kept silent. At this moment, she suddenly said: "I heard a story before."
When the three of Bai Qianhe heard this, they immediately restrained their movements, and waited for Li Chaoge's next words with a straight face. Li Chaoge's voice was languid, and his tone was flat, full of the air of a wise man talking about ancient times: "A rich man held a painting competition and said that whoever won would inherit all his property. Those who were capable flocked to him. A scholar handed in a blank paper, and the rich People asked him, why are you perfunctory to me. The scholar said no, he painted the cow grazing, the cow ate the grass, the grass was gone, and the cow left, so it was blank. The rich man thought it was very good. Then declare the scholar to be the winner."
Mo Linlang and the other three listened with indifference. Bai Qianhe rubbed his arms and asked, "Do we need to laugh?"
"I'm not kidding." Li Chaoge pressed the center of his eyebrows, and sighed, "This is the mission entrusted to us by the sage."
Bai Qianhe was used to making jokes, so he was dumbfounded at this moment: "What?"
"Find the cow and grass in this painting."
The three of Bai Qianhe and Z? showed no expression, and slowly made a question mark: "?"
Li Chaoge put down his hands, strode towards the outer hall, and said: "The envoys from Tubo sent their country's national treasure - the flying sky picture. This picture is the dowry of Princess Nibrachidu, and it tells the important story of the Buddha's reincarnation. The Buddha was sympathetic to the heavens and the people, and gave fire to the world with his finger as a guide. The gods? Gandharva surrounded the Buddha and made fun for the heavens. Gandharva is Sanskrit, and in Chinese, it is called Feitian? "
Bai Qianhe looked at the pair of white papers hanging in the inner hall, then at Li Chaoge's back, and suddenly had a bad association: "Could it be..."
"That's right." Li Chaoge nodded, and said with torch-like eyes, "This is the picture of the flying sky. The Minister of Rites and Honglu Temple have confirmed together that the seal on the Z? The flying sky? It's gone."
Zhou Shao and Mo Lin Langdu frowned, Bai Qianhe covered his face in pain, and howled, "What's this called? Why do we even leave this kind of thing to us?"
Li Chaoge was really unwilling to accept it at first, but she knew that wealth and wealth are in danger, and only when she solves problems that others cannot solve can she truly enter the core of power. In any case, Li Chaoge is in charge of the Feitian? missing case.
Li Chaoge ignored Bai Qianhe's howling, and said calmly: "The Prime Minister of Tubo said that they checked it on the way, and they were sure that the Feitian map was still in good condition at that time. But after entering the Eastern Capital, they were afraid of the country. The treasure was stolen, so it has not been opened for a long time. Seeing that the first day is approaching, they planned to present the treasure to the emperor at the court ceremony. They opened it yesterday and checked it. Unexpectedly, there was only a blank picture scroll left. Datang is worthy of all nations? The glory of coming to court can withstand the provocations of demons and ghosts. Since something happened to the treasure map of the Tubo Kingdom in the Eastern Capital, then we must find the Feitian map in the Eastern Capital. The matter of presenting the treasure involves two For diplomatic relations between countries, at the end of the first lunar month at the latest, Tubo must publicly present maps. Therefore, we have one month to recover the lost Feitian map.”
All right, everything? I took it back, so what's the use if Bai Qianhe doesn't want to accept it? Bai Qianhe slowly accepted the reality, and asked: "What are the characteristics of those flying sky? Dongdu is so big, and it will be New Year's Eve, New Year, and Shangyuan Festival soon. Even if we are looking for things, we must have a direction."
Li Chaoge sighed: "This is the hardest part. The Tubo envoys don't remember what Feitian looks like, they only know that there are many Feitians, and they are very beautiful."
Bai Qianhe was stunned. After a long time, he asked back in disbelief: "What?"
Li Chaoge spread his hands: "This is what they said. Many, very beautiful."
Bai Qianhe fell silent, Zhou Shao and Mo Linlang were also speechless. A few of them pondered? For a while, they were still clueless and in a mess.
Bai Qianhe looked at the pair of white papers, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Commander, you think Z's seals are all complete, why don't we draw a picture for them, anyway, this picture is also a gift. It’s for Datang, don’t you need it? There are so many things to pay attention to…”
Li Chaoge looked at Bai Qianhe coldly, Bai Qianhe's voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared into silence. Li Chaoge took a deep breath, resisted the urge to peel off the crane's skin and cramped its tendons, and said, "Fei Tian is the god of music in the Western Regions Buddhism, chasing the heavens, and he is a court trickster. I don't know why these things Fei Tian? Will escape from the painting, but since? They are tricksters, after escaping, they will most likely be inseparable from dance and music. Now you bring the tokens and sabers of the demon town, and follow me to the music workshop to search. All the beauties No one can let go."
The author has something to say: Gandharva is a trickster of the heavens, chasing after the heavens and making fun for the heavens. — "Theory of Great Wisdom"
