Chapter 202 trouble Chang'an (six)
Because the fire was too fierce, even the palace could be seen clearly. Li Yuan didn't care about the prince and Monk Konghai at this time, and hurriedly ordered someone to check what happened.
At first, Li Yuan thought that there was a rebellion in Chang'an City when he was disturbed by evil spirits and lost his soul. He ordered the Imperial Army to enter the palace to guard the imperial city, and when he was messing around here, news finally came in. Two explosions were caused by the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple in the city who accidentally exploded the alchemy furnace while refining elixirs. I don't know what was stuffed in the alchemy furnace. The explosion was extremely powerful and had moved the Taoist temple to flat ground. He also burned the surrounding houses. When he saw the first thick smoke, the smoke was burning from the houses around the Taoist temple.
The officials who reported to Li Yuan about the accident were obviously reserved. Such a large sensation of smoke could not be emitted by fires in several private houses.
The second place of explosion was the Imperial Guards outside the palace. The reason for the explosion was unknown. There were only a few people left in the two thousand garrisons, and the official dared not hide it. After hesitating for a while, he said hesitantly: "The broken limbs that were blown away have splashed into the palace. A few generals of the Imperial Guards have already gone there to investigate except those who were summoned to the palace. Now there is a news that a monk entered the military camp before the explosion. A big explosion occurred just after the monk entered..."
"Monk..." Li Yuan looked back at Guangxiao and continued to say to the official: "Let the painter draw a portrait of Monk Konghai and send it to the surviving people for the surviving people to identify it... Regardless of whether this monk is Konghai or not, all the temples in the city will be blocked from now on. This matter has not been revealed for a day, and these monks will not be able to come out of the temple for a day. If you see monk wandering on the street, you will be killed immediately!"
After saying this, Guangxiao's brows were already frowning. He immediately pronounced the Buddha's name and then continued to say to the emperor: "Your Majesty, a monk breaks the law and all the monks are innocent. The monks enter the military camp and cause an explosion is just a rumor of foolish people. Your Majesty must not believe it."
"Master Guangxiao, the incident happened next to the palace. Last night I lost my soul, and this strange thing happened outside the palace today. Is there such a coincidence? This incident came for me and also for the heavens. How can you make me feel at ease? Even if it is a rumor of the foolish people, I will offend the monks in the world once." Now Li Yuan has recovered his original energy. He was originally a refined person, otherwise he would not have won the world.
However, Guangxiao was also a great monk who Li Yuan could not afford to provoke. After slapping it, he immediately stuffed the monk's mouth with sweet dates. The emperor summoned the secretary and eunuch beside him and said, "Remember, the eminent monk, Zen Master Guangxiao, was well-versed in Buddhism. He saved me from embarrassment. In order to preach Buddhism, Zen Master Guangxiao was appointed as the Dharma protector and the Holy National Master..."
"Congratulations to the guardian of the Dharma and the Holy National Master." Li Yuan had just finished speaking, Gui Bugui, who was on the side, continued with a smile: "Guangren was also a national master back then. Unexpectedly, Feng Shui changed, and it was finally Guangxiao, you are the national master. Not only did you do a big favor, but now you are a national master, which is really gratifying..."
Guangxiao is also in vain now. He just returned to the Big Buddha Temple for a night. How could such a sudden happen? Originally, he thought that it was the half-demon Lu Wuji who came to the palace to vent his anger. But now it seems that it is not the case. Lu Wuji is so meticulous, how could he do such a reckless thing?
Looking at Gui Bugui behind Li Shimin opposite, he looked at the lively posture of "seeing" the fun, Guangxiao frowned slightly. He actually thanked Li Yuan, and then he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the two explosions outside the palace are of great significance. Your Majesty is right. A evil spirit disturbed Your Majesty last night. Now, such a strange thing happened outside the palace. Someone must be making trouble. If you don't find out this matter, you may be afraid that the world will be uneasy. The monk dared to recommend His Highness to the King of Qin to thoroughly investigate the matter. At the beginning, the King of Qin was a meticulous person in Taiyuan City. Now, the King of Qin is more cognitive and good at using it. With His Highness to thoroughly investigate, you will definitely find out the truth."
"After all, he is an expert in striking the blame," Gui Bugui smiled and continued, "But I'll see, there are many people who can find out about this. The King of Qin is meticulous and can just protect His Majesty. To prevent what happened last night..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but this matter is still reasonable as Master Guangxiao said." Li Shimin didn't care whether Guigui was frowning or not. After pausing for a moment, he continued to say to Li Yuan who was a little relieved: "Shimin is willing to share the worries for Your Majesty and investigate the explosion outside the palace. The matter of guarding Your Majesty will be handed over to the fourth brother and the prince..."
"Okay! You know the general idea. I will appoint you as the Chief Officer of the Chang'an Thief. From me, no matter who you find, even the prince, the prince can let you give it." After a smile, Li Yuan continued to reward Li Shimin: "Add a crown of the King of Qin, a jade belt, a gold medal, a ceremonial guard, and a double-time king's tribute." The thing that had just been pulled from the prince was added to Li Shimin.
After the enthronement was completed, Li Shimin turned to Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and others and said, "Several Immortal Masters, this matter is related to the comfort of hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City. I hope that the Immortal Masters can accompany Shimin to investigate the two explosions just now. If the explosion just now happens a few more times, the first one to be affected will be the people in the city."
"Your Highness, you don't know that you think you are a good disciple handed over by Guangren..." After beating Gui Bugui, he continued to say to the King of Qin in Wu Mian's direction: "But you have to suffer any more. As long as the person who is sure of us here nods, I'm easy to deal with."
When Gui Bugui talked about this, Wu Mian was already thinking about walking out of the bedroom. The old guy and Li Shimin shouted several times before hearing Wu Mian's answer without looking back: "I'll go out for some breathing, even in the place where the explosion just now is much better than here..."
After hearing Wu Mian's words, Gui Bugui smiled slightly and said softly, "Hard-mouthed..." When he said these two words, the old guy covered his head and kept hiding behind his cheap son. It was like he was guarding against the lightning that would suddenly slash off his head.
Originally, Li Xuanba wanted to go with him, but after the scene last night, Li Yuan had become a frightened bird and said that Li Xuanba would not be allowed to leave his sight. Although the national teacher Guangxiao is by his side now, Li Yuan would rather believe in his son more.
Li Yuan gave a special order and prepared to get off the carriage in the palace, allowing a few of them to leave the palace in a carriage. Not long after, the carriage that the few people were riding left the palace. When the carriage came out, the imperial guards who were waiting at the gate of the palace led the carriage to the Imperial Guards, where the second explosion occurred.
After arriving here, he saw a tragic phenomenon. The original location of the garrison site had a large pit, and the broken limbs and flesh could be seen everywhere. People were surrounded by people watching the fun. Li Shimin asked his soldiers to catch them and ask, but they were not the ones who saw the explosion with their own eyes. Although they had not seen the explosion with their own eyes, these people all said that they saw a monk wearing a cassock walking out of the deep pit of the explosion. Gui Bugui asked himself that the appearance of the monks mentioned by these people was the missing monk Konghai.
The military camp was already bombed to a bad appearance. After walking around, no valuable clues were found. At that moment, Gui Bugui suggested going to the Taoist temple where the first explosion occurred. Perhaps there were still some unexpected clues left in it.
However, the Taoist temple was even worse than the military camp, and the entire Taoist temple had been bombed and nothing was left. That's not all, the connected houses around the Taoist temple were also moved to the flat ground, and the fire later broke out to clean the neighboring houses. Just when Gui Bugui thought it was impossible to find clues, some people behind him who were watching the fun suddenly shouted: "Monster...there are monsters!"
