Chapter 1188: The duck is in hand, is it necessary to let it go?
After finishing the discussion about the jade seal, Emperor Tianxi picked up the Zhentian Bow.
The civil and military officials immediately understood what was going on.
As expected, Emperor Tianxi declared loudly, "The Third Prince Xuanyuan Jin is valiant and has won first place in this hunt. I bestow upon him the Heaven-shaking Bow!"
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, Xuanyuan Jin immediately stepped forward.
"Thank you, Father!"
After saying that, he took the Sky-shaking Bow with both hands.
A fierce murderous aura, accompanied by a majesty that made people submit, came towards him.
Emperor Tianxi clenched his hands.
"Buzz..."
The Sky-shaking Bow seemed to emit a heavy roar.
Emperor Tianxi showed a look of surprise on his face and couldn't help rubbing his ears.
Then, he patted Xuanyuan Jin on the shoulder and said earnestly, "This bow is said to have been used by Emperor Kaiyuan in ancient times to suppress rebellions. It can shock evil spirits and kill thousands of enemy soldiers. I hope you will not let its reputation down!"
"Don't worry, father. I will live up to your expectations!" Xuanyuan Jin said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
Emperor Tianxi nodded with satisfaction.
"Congratulations, Third Prince..."
Civil and military officials came forward to congratulate him, and no one dared to object.
At the same time, no one had any doubts about the selection of the crown prince anymore.
The emperor's attitude is simply too obvious, isn't it?
Tang Bao glanced at Xuanyuan Jin's high-spirited look, and then looked at the picture of ten thousand Buddhas in Nanny Chen's arms.
The Empress Dowager will probably enshrine this painting of ten thousand Buddhas in the Tianlong Temple.
Tang Bao was not wrong.
After the hunt, the Queen Mother did not return to the palace, but went directly to Tianlong Temple with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture.
Tang Bao thought of her master Yu Zhilan, who was discussing scriptures and doctrines with the abbot in Tianlong Temple, so she said goodbye to Su Laowu and followed him to Tianlong Temple instead of going home.
Upon seeing this, Xuanyuan Jin immediately expressed to Emperor Tianxi that he wanted to escort the Empress Dowager to Tianlong Temple.
Emperor Tianxi naturally would not stop it, and sent many more troops.
It was to protect the Empress Dowager's safety and to prevent the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture from being lost.
In Tianlong Temple, Master Zhiren received the news, clasped his hands together and chanted "Amitabha".
Then he went to the tower in person and rang the Hongming bell in Tianlong Temple.
"Dong-dong-dong-dong"
The sound of the bells seemed to resound through the sky.
Even the people far away in the capital could hear the bells coming from Tianlong Temple.
"What big thing happened?"
"Isn't that the bell from Tianlong Temple ringing?"
"It sounds like..."
All the people who heard the bell stopped what they were doing and looked towards the direction of Tianlong Temple.
The bell of Tianlong Temple will only ring when something big happens.
"Oh my God! Something terrible has happened!" A well-informed man said mysteriously, "You haven't heard yet, the Emperor's seal has been stolen..."
"ah!"
"hiss!"
"Really?!"
Exclamations, gasps, and questions rang out one after another.
Seeing this, the man's desire to show off seemed to be greatly satisfied.
He added, "Of course it's true! My uncle works for the Emperor and had the honor of accompanying him on hunting trips..."
Before this person could finish his words, he received a wave of envious glances.
"Come on, your uncle is just a horse breeder!" Someone said with a smile, "You make it sound like your uncle is a favorite of the emperor."
"Hahaha……"
The people around also started laughing.
The man's face flushed.
Then, he stiffened his neck and said, "So what? My uncle serves the emperor's royal horse!"
At the end of the speech, his face was full of pride.
At this time, someone said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, is the emperor's jade seal really lost? The Hongming bell suddenly rang, could it be..."
The man's voice lowered.
I was so frightened that I didn't dare say it out loud.
The imperial seal is lost and the Hongming bell is ringing. Could it be that the dynasty is about to change?
It has to be said that in the hearts of ordinary people, the jade seal has long been endowed with mythical color.
Only an immoral emperor would lose the imperial seal.
The people around looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.
Only the uncle's "grandson" had a flicker in his eyes.
"How could this be false? My uncle said it, so it can't be wrong! The emperor himself admitted it!"
When the man said this, he looked around carefully, creating an atmosphere as if he was about to reveal a big secret.
The people around pricked up their ears, with expressions of nervous anticipation.
The "grandson" was very satisfied with this situation.
He lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the jade seal has spiritual power and is a divine object bestowed by heaven. Only the emperor to whom it is destined will have the jade seal recognize him as his master. Otherwise..."
When the "grandson" said this, a meaningful expression appeared on his face and he shook his head.
People around: "..."
Could it be that the Emperor is not the one chosen by Heaven, so...
The faces of the people around showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
"Stop yelling!" A burly man walked over and said loudly, "The Hongming Bell is ringing because the Phoenix Seal, which pairs with the Imperial Seal, has been obtained by the Empress! The Emperor works diligently to govern the country and loves his people like his own children, so Heaven has bestowed the Phoenix Seal upon the Empress. This is a great event for all to celebrate, so naturally the Hongming Bell is ringing!"
When the people around heard this, the expressions of surprise and doubt on their faces turned into shock and disbelief.
"Oh my god! Phoenix Seal!"
"Isn't it said that the Phoenix Seal has been lost for a thousand years?"
"The Empress actually obtained the Phoenix Seal..."
People were talking about it all, forgetting the fact that the imperial seal was lost, or rather, the fact that the emperor was unworthy of his position.
The burly man threw out the explosive news, changed the style of the painting, and looked at the "grandson" of his uncle.
The "grandson" also showed a surprised expression on his face. When he saw the big man looking at him, his eyes couldn't help but avoid.
Then, he slipped into the crowd.
The big man rushed over, ignored his "grandson's" resistance, put his arm around his shoulders, as if very affectionate, and took him away.
This scene was soon repeated in many places in the capital.
One by one, the "grandsons" were thrown into the Ministry of Justice prison.
In the capital, the doubts about the emperor caused by the loss of the imperial seal were completely replaced by the explosive news that the phoenix seal had reappeared.
However, secretly, a bloody storm began.
In Tianlong Temple, Master Zhiren rang the Hongming Bell, naturally not because of the Phoenix Seal.
"The Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture has returned to Tianlong Temple. All monks, please follow me to the mountain gate to welcome it respectfully!"
After Master Zhiren finished speaking, he led all the monks in Tianlong Temple and walked quickly towards the gate.
Yu Zhilan thought about it and followed slowly.
He must carefully observe this masterpiece.
If you have the opportunity to copy it, that would be the best.
only--
This painting of ten thousand Buddhas was brought by King Xiao of Northern Qi.
If his little disciple doesn't marry someone, he will have to return the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture in a few days.
Yu Zhilan pondered secretly.
Are we going to let this duck fly away after we’ve already got it?
Otherwise, I should discuss it with my little disciple and exchange her for this Ten Thousand Buddhas Painting...
Tang Bao had no idea that her master was planning to sell her out.
"Miss, slow down."
As Shi Liu said this, he helped Tang Bao down from the carriage.
Tang Bao looked up at the towering mountain gate and the seemingly endless white marble steps, and once again marveled at the grandeur and majesty of Tianlong Temple.
It really deserves to be the number one temple in the world that has been passed down for thousands of years!
The Empress Dowager held the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture in both hands and refused the sedan chair.
Step by step, he walked up with a pious look on his face.
Xuanyuan Jin and Tang Bao followed the Queen Mother side by side.
Master Zhiren came hurriedly with hundreds of monks to greet them.
"Amitabha."
Master Zhiren bowed and chanted the Buddha's name to the Empress Dowager.
Then, suppressing his inner excitement, he looked at the picture of ten thousand Buddhas in the hands of the Empress Dowager.
