Chapter 270 The Secret is Exposed (2)
"May I ask your Dharma name, Master?" the yamen runner asked.
"My Dharma name is Bian Ji!" Bian Ji put his hands together and said,
"Then please come with us. We at the Dali Temple have something to ask you. Please cooperate!"
"This jade pillow belongs to Princess Gaoyang. It was given to her as a dowry by His Majesty."
"I'll have to trouble Master Bian Ji to go to the Dali Temple and explain why this jade pillow is in your hands." The yamen runner said.
Bian Ji was panicked. After all, his affair with Princess Gaoyang was not something that could be exposed. Once it was exposed, he would be expelled from the sect.
"Bian Ji, what's going on?" Xuanzang was a little annoyed. He was very optimistic about Bian Ji and even planned to let him inherit his legacy in the future.
"Master! This jade pillow was given to the poor monk by Princess Gaoyang. Let me go to the Dali Temple to explain it clearly." Bian Ji said to Xuanzang.
"Buddhism has no private wealth. How can you hide the donations of the donors?" Xuanzang said.
"Master, let me explain this to you after I come back from the Dali Temple." Bian Ji said.
"I wonder how long Bian Ji will accompany you to the Dali Temple. I still need him to translate Buddhist scriptures." Xuanzang asked. He was a little partial to Bian Ji in his heart.
"It's hard for us to say this. Everything needs to be decided by the higher-ups. How long he stays is not something we can control." The yamen runner said.
"Master Bian Ji, please come with us!"
Bian Ji followed the yamen runner and left Hongfu Temple to go to the Dali Temple to explain the origin of the jade pillow.
As a result, the affair between him and Princess Gaoyang was exposed. The Dali Temple was shocked. They could not handle such a big thing, so they had to report it to Li Er.
Let Li Er decide. As for the debate, he had to stay in the guest room of the Dali Temple for the time being. After all, they had not received any news about how to deal with him, so they could not put him in jail.
"Everyone! The Dali Temple just reported! There is a big thing to report to you!" Wang Yuan said to Li Er.
"What big thing?" Li Er asked. His health condition has started to get worse recently!
Wang Yuan immediately stepped forward and whispered something in Li Er's ear. Li Er was immediately furious.
"Are you serious?" Li Er asked, glaring at Wang Yuan.
"Everyone! The Dali Temple has confirmed it again and again. The evidence is solid and it is absolutely true." Wang Yuan said.
"It's really outrageous!" Li Er was furious, slamming the table and saying, how could his daughter have no shame to hook up with a monk. It
was simply a disgrace to the Li Tang royal family, which made Li Er very angry. He usually doted on Gao Yang, but he didn't expect her to do such a shameful thing.
"Everyone! How should the Dali Temple deal with this matter?" Wang Yuan asked.
This matter is related to the royal family and the princess, and it is not easy for them to handle it as a general case.
What's more, this is not just a simple theft, but also mixed with the princess's romantic affairs.
"Tomorrow at noon, take that monk out and behead him!" Li Er said angrily.
"Yes!" Wang Yuan took the order and went to convey Li Er's order to the Dali Temple, and beheaded the debater.
At the Fang Mansion, Fang Yiai knew that Princess Gaoyang had an affair with Bian Ji, and was very angry, so she went to question Princess Gaoyang.
Instead, she was ridiculed by Princess Gaoyang, like a quail, and was scolded by Princess Gaoyang. She dared not even fart, and finally left in disgrace.
In this regard, Fang Yiai is simply a good-for-nothing, compared to her husband Dou Fengjie, who also had a Hohhot prairie transplanted on his head.
Fang Yiai is a scum, at least Dou Fengjie dared to kill Princess Yongjia's lover Yang Yuzhi, and Fang Yiai would be scolded even for questioning Princess Gaoyang.
It can be seen how low Fang Yiai's status is in the family.
Donggong.
"Oh! Is this true?" Li Chengqian asked.
"My dear! This is absolutely true! It has spread! Who wouldn't know that Princess Gaoyang found a monk as her lover?" Wang Quan said.
Only in the open-minded Tang Dynasty could women be so unrestrained. If it were after the Tang Dynasty, married women who dared to do such immoral things would have been put in a pig cage long ago!
Li Chengqian naturally knew about the affair between Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji, but he just didn't expose it. It would be exposed sooner or later if it fermented naturally.
"Let's go! Let's go to the palace!" Li Chengqian stood up and said.
"Yes!" Wang Quan immediately arranged for people to prepare the baton, and carried Li Chengqian into the palace, just in time to meet Princess Gaoyang who was in a hurry to enter the palace.
"Gaoyang!" Li Chengqian shouted loudly.
Princess Gaoyang heard someone ask her to stop and look at Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian stepped down from the steps, came to Gaoyang and said, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Brother! Please forgive me! I have something important to see my father, I will visit him another day!" After saying that, Princess Gaoyang was about to leave.
She was in a hurry to plead with Li Er to save her lover's life, and she really didn't have time to say any more nonsense with Li Chengqian.
"You are in a hurry to plead for Bian Ji! With the temper of the emperor, do you think it will be useful for you to go now?"
"You and I know very well that Bian Ji is dead! The emperor will not change his decision for you." Li Chengqian said.
"I don't care. I will save Bian Ji no matter what! He is my man." Princess Gaoyang said. No one could stop her from saving Bian Ji.
"It will be useless for you to go there. Father will not allow you to do anything. Listen to my advice. Go back now and I will pretend that nothing happened." Li Chengqian said.
"Humph!" Princess Gaoyang snorted coldly, ignored Li Chengqian, and went straight to find Li Er.
"Let's go! Go to Dali Temple!" Li Chengqian said as he looked at Gao Yang's receding back. The group changed their route and went to Dali Temple.
After Princess Gaoyang saw Li Er, she cried directly, hoping that Li Er could control her.
"Gao Yang, you are the daughter-in-law of the Fang family now. When it comes to control, it is the Fang family that controls you. There is no reason for your family to interfere." Li Er said.
"Father! As the emperor, don't you have the final say?" Princess Gaoyang said.
"Shut up! Because I am the emperor, there are some things I cannot do as I please, otherwise my country will be in danger!" Li Er said.
"So what do you think we should do now?" Princess Gaoyang asked.
"Now the whole court, the whole capital, and even the whole world are talking about you, and this matter cannot be changed." Li Er said.
"Father, are you really so cruel? Are you warning me or the Fang family?"
"If you want to warn the Fang family, I can ignore it. If you want to take this opportunity to warn me, I will make a big fuss in Chang'an and make Chang'an City restless!" Princess Gaoyang said.
"Nonsense!" Li Er slammed the table and roared: "Look at what you are saying now. For a bald donkey, what have you become?"
