Oiran son

"Actually, I came to Master Tianyi today because I want to ask you something."

Master Tianyi's calm and unwavering eyes had a slight ripple, as if he had a premonition of what Emperor Jing wanted to say next, but he didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to continue.

"Three years ago, I was poisoned by the spies sent by the Yan Kingdom. If the master hadn't rescued me at that time, I'm afraid I would have gone to see the ancestor Li Zong. On that day, I was afraid that I would not be able to survive, and I knew that the master Knowing the art of divination and astrology, I asked the master a question, did the master remember?"

Master Tianyi recited a sentence of the Buddha's name, and then slowly replied: "On that day, the Holy One asked the poor monk, whether the prince can provoke the great task of revitalizing the Xia Kingdom."

"That's right, but the master didn't answer my question at that time, he only said that he tried his best to cure my illness, and I survived. These days, I often recall the scene of that day, and I understand that even though you didn't answer directly , but already gave me the answer, right?"

On that day, Emperor Jing only thought that Master Tianyi didn't want to get involved in the royal dispute, so he refused to answer his question.But ever since the crown prince was grounded and he wrote, directed, and acted that bitter trick at the hunting conference, he suddenly realized that Master Tianyi had actually given him the answer that day.

In the past, he doted on the prince, knowing that the prince had done a lot of unrighteous things behind his back, but he didn't take it seriously.Until the crown prince was exposed to persecute Zhu Ye, the mistakes he made before also emerged one by one, so that he could no longer turn a blind eye, ordered him to ground his feet, and eliminated his henchmen.

Regarding what the prince did, Emperor Jing was both disappointed and sad, but more confused.He found that among his many sons, none of them seemed to have clean hands. In order to climb up, they did not hesitate to frame each other, completely disregarding the interests of the country.

After so many things, Emperor Jing knew that the crown prince must not be able to bear the heavy responsibility, but among so many sons, he didn't know who could take on the heavy responsibility. In desperation, he thought of asking Master Tianyi for his opinion.

Before, Zhu Xu thought that Emperor Jing drove his brothers to Huguo Temple to practice because he was worried that they would threaten the prince and be jealous by Emperor Jing.In fact, Emperor Jing asked them to come to Huguo Temple to practice, but he wanted Master Tianyi to observe them and choose a suitable successor from among them.

"Although Master Tianyi detoxified me three years ago, over the years, I know that my body is getting worse day by day. I know that as the king of a country, I am not a competent monarch. Similarly, as a father, I also Not a good father.

However, I want to choose a Mingjun for the Xia Kingdom, a monarch who can lead the Xia Kingdom to prosperity again.Master Tianyi, please divination for the people of the Xia Kingdom and find a wise king for the Xia Kingdom. "Speaking, Emperor Jing stood up and wanted to bow to Master Tianyi.

Master Tianyi hastily stopped Emperor Jing from saluting, "Your Majesty must not, the poor monk can't afford it, and the poor monk is willing to divination for the Holy Majesty."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Emperor Jing didn't insist on saluting, and sat down again, waiting for Master Tianyi to bring the divination tools.

Master Tianyi took out a tortoise shell, put a few copper coins into the tortoise shell, shook it a few times, and poured the copper coins on the table.

"How is it?" Seeing the serious expression on Master Tianyi's face, Emperor Jing asked nervously.

Master Tianyi pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "If the Holy Majesty's hexagram is occupied by the people of the Xia Kingdom, then congratulations to the Holy Majesty, you will definitely get what you want. In the near future, the country will usher in the Holy Spirit." The monarch, lead the people of the whole country to destroy the old and usher in the new, and move towards prosperity."

Hearing this, Emperor Jing's face turned into a flower with a smile, and the depression that was suppressed in his heart was swept away at once.

"Great, Xia Guoyou is saved, and I won't be afraid of being blamed by my ancestors in the future."

The excited Emperor Jing casually decreed that the Huguo Temple will be built in the near future, so that Master Tianyi can make any request.

"Thank you, my lord, for your grace." Master Tianyi thanked him neither humble nor overbearing, stood up, and respectfully sent Emperor Jing to leave.

Walking to the door, Emperor Jing suddenly stopped as if thinking of something, turned around and looked at Master Tianyi.

"By the way, Master Tianyi hasn't told me yet which of my princes can win this great task."

Master Tianyi lowered his eyes, sighed secretly, and was almost able to fool Emperor Jing away.However, if he didn't want to answer the question, even Emperor Jing couldn't dig the answer out of his mouth.

"The heavenly secret must not be leaked, please forgive me, the poor monk has already said everything he can say."

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, originally he was just asking casually, but the more Master Tianyi refused to answer, the more he wanted to know.

"You don't want to answer, is it true that among my princes, none of them can be a great leader?"

Facing Emperor Jing's questioning, Master Tianyi just kept silent, but Emperor Jing already understood the meaning of the other's silence, his heart sank suddenly, and the expression on his face instantly became terribly ugly.

"Bold Tianyi! How dare you fool me and treat me like a monkey? Do you really think that I dare not treat you and Huguo Temple?"

Seeing that Emperor Jing was angry, Master Tianyi stopped putting on airs, and said innocently: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, how dare this poor monk fool you?"

"Do you still dare to quibble? Just now you coaxed me that there will be a wise king to appear, so that Xia Guo will have hundreds of years of prosperity, but when I asked you which emperor's son can be the great leader, you refused to say, it is because you can't lie ?”

Emperor Jing acted like you can't fool me, if you can't explain clearly, don't blame me for being merciless.

Master Tianyi sighed, knowing that if he didn't give an answer that satisfied Emperor Jing, he and Huguo Temple would have trouble living in peace.After clearing his throat, he raised his eyes and looked straight into Emperor Jing's eyes.

"The secret must not be revealed, and the poor monk is not a person who is greedy for life and fears death, but the poor monk also understands that the original intention of the Holy One is to make the country and the people better, so the poor monk has to take the risk to reveal something to the Holy One." As he said, he Taking two steps forward, he leaned into Emperor Jing's ear and said something.

Listening to Master Tianyi's words, a look of astonishment flashed across Emperor Jing's face, because he was so restless that he didn't even know how he left Huguo Temple, and when he came back to his senses, he was already sitting in the imperial study.

"Holy?"

Facing Shang Shuangxi's worried eyes, Emperor Jing noticed the tea cup handed over by the other party, reached out to take it, drank it down, wiped his face with his hand, and let out a long breath.

"What time is it now?"

"It's already Xu time." Shuangxi looked at Emperor Jing worriedly, but hesitated to speak.

Emperor Jing glanced at him, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shuangxi smiled coyly and said, "The servant is only worried about the Holy Majesty. The Majesty has been absent-minded since he met Master Tianyi just now, so the slave is worried that Master Tianyi said something that made the Majesty unhappy."

Recalling what Master Tianyi said in his ear, a complex look flashed in Emperor Jing's eyes, he pondered for a while, and asked Shuangxi to polish the ink for him.

After grinding the ink, Shuangxi, who stood by and waited on Emperor Jing, saw what Jingdi wrote in the imperial decree, his face flashed with astonishment.
