As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 609

The prince did not expect that Emperor Xuanwu would directly hold Yun Qi accountable. His heart sank and he spoke slowly: "From the beginning of the Baiyun Temple incident to the present, A Qi has never intervened, and he has no reason to take Taoist Qiu's life."

"He doesn't make sense?"

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the prince with bright eyes in his turbid eyes, "Did he secretly interfere in the migration and settlement of the people in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"He also disregarded my will and re-intervened in the affairs of the government, and punished corruption with cruel methods - he was not convinced by me at all, and he never even took it orally. You raised a good son!"

"..."

The prince was very angry.

It is true that Yun Qi sometimes took the wrong approach, but now Emperor Xuanwu also listens to others' beliefs.

The prince defended Yun Qi: "My son asked him to interfere in the corruption matter. My son's body... is not strong enough for his purpose."

"Your body?"

Emperor Xuanwu sneered and said: "I am your father, and I have not yet been able to do my job because of my physical weakness. Why do you find such an excuse to excuse Yun Qi? Call him here, and I will ask him face to face what he wants to do!"

The prince saw Emperor Xuanwu's expression and guessed that Yun Qi would definitely not stop calling him today.

He took a deep breath and said, "Father, I met a person on the road before entering the palace today. Perhaps it would not be too late for my father to meet him first and listen to what he had to say before making a decision?"

"Who?"

"Lu Ci, Lu Jingrong." The prince said, "It's the fairy who helped my grandson-in-law Xie Zhaozhao read her fortune. The one my father liked very much."

Emperor Xuanwu was slightly startled.

He had also heard that Lu Jingrong had entered Beijing before.

But at that time, he liked Qiu Ziyang very much and only trusted Qiu Ziyang, so he had no intention of meeting Lu Jingrong again.

The prince added: "Mr. Lu has successfully practiced the five arts of Taoism. Maybe my father can ask him about today's matter... What happened today is really strange. I checked it again and again before starting."

"Officials from the Ministry of Rites also said that everything was safe, but something happened. I don't know if there was anything done improperly."

Emperor Xuanwu's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his skinny hand: "Send him a message."

"Yes."

After the prince responded, Li Lu quickly asked the young eunuch to go out and summon him.

After a while, Lu Jingrong, wearing a blue cloth gown and his hair tied casually with a green headband, stepped into the main hall.

He did not kneel down and salute Emperor Xuanwu like all civil and military officials.

Emperor Xuanwu liked him very much. When he walked around the palace before, Emperor Xuanwu exempted him from kneeling down.

At this time, Lu Jingrong walked up to Emperor Xuanwu and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty must have failed to follow my doctor's orders. You don't look good."

Before Lu Jingrong left Beijing last year, he checked Emperor Xuanwu's pulse and carefully left medical instructions.

At the beginning, everyone around Emperor Xuanwu took careful care of him and reminded him to always follow medical advice.

But then Qiu Ziyang appeared.

Emperor Xuanwu refused to listen to the advice.

That Qiu Ziyang suggested that Emperor Xuanwu should give up his desires, cultivate his mind, and be calm.

Among them is the saying of cutting off appetite.

Emperor Xuanwu has been fasting from the beginning of the year to the present, and he no longer takes decoctions when he occasionally feels unwell.

However, Emperor Xuanwu was so stubborn that no one around him dared to persuade him.Emperor Xuanwu was startled when he heard what Lu Jingrong said, and hesitantly asked: "Do you look very bad?"

Qiu Ziyang said that his complexion was getting better day by day.

Nowadays, diseases are caused by one's own disease energy. As long as we insist on giving up desires, the disease energy will disappear on its own...

Lu Jingrong raised his hand and said, "I will diagnose your Majesty's pulse."

Emperor Xuanwu hesitated, but finally trusted Lu Jingrong a little, "Yes."

Li Lu quickly helped Emperor Xuanwu sit down on the dragon throne, raised his wrist, and said to Lu Jingrong: "Mr. Lu, please."

Lu Jingrong nodded and walked forward, placing his fingers on Emperor Xuanwu's wrist. After a moment, he sighed softly, "If you don't take medicine well, hey..."

"Please tell me how to treat your father's body." The prince asked quickly.

"Well, let me think about it." Lu Jingrong frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "The emperor's body is not suitable for taking a lot of medicine now. I have to prepare some food supplements. Once the food supplements are prepared, I will bring them to His Majesty."

Emperor Xuanwu's gray eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were slightly suspicious, but he said nothing.

The prince said: "There was an accident in the Baiyun Temple just now. Mr. Lu happened to be at a free clinic nearby, so he took a look."

"Yes."

Lu Jingrong nodded, frowning slightly, "Building Taoist temples and guarding the dragon veins is a good thing that benefits all people, but the Taoist priest seems to have neglected some things, which led to today's disaster."

"Oh?"

Emperor Xuanwu asked: "What's missing?"

"Building mountains and building pagodas is blessed by God. We need the right time, place and people. We can't just rely on manpower to do it overnight. Although the Double Ninth Festival is a good day, it is not a day for great roads. In addition, the Baiyun Temple Tongtian Tower was selected to be built..."

"Not just anyone can build the Tower of Babel. Stepping into the Qiankun position also has extremely stringent requirements for a Taoist's fate."

"This Taoist Qiu is not the chosen one. He insisted on doing this, which is why there was such a bloody disaster."

Emperor Xuanwu frowned and asked: "Then when is the day of the great road?"

"I don't know, I need to figure it out by chance."

"Then who can preside over the construction of the Tower of Babel?"

Lu Jingrong didn't say much, but shook his head.

Emperor Xuanwu's expression became more complex and deep. He looked at Lu Jingrong, seeming to be pondering the truth or falsehood of his words.

Lu Jingrong was very magnanimous, "To reach the sky means to reach the heaven. No ordinary person in this world can reach the sky. Building the Babel Tower is really an outrageous idea. If you have to do it, I'm afraid it will be punished by God."

Emperor Xuanwu's face suddenly turned gloomy: "How presumptuous! Do you dare to say that I have acted against nature and will be punished by heaven?"

All the slaves serving in the main hall knelt on the ground. Li Lu, who was holding Emperor Xuanwu's side, turned pale and trembled all over. The prince looked solemn and looked at Lu Jingrong solemnly.

However, Lu Jingrong remained calm and spoke slowly: "If your Majesty feels that what I said is exaggerated, you can ask what the situation is like among the people and everywhere since the decision to build the Tower of Babel to now."

"When Your Majesty understands clearly, it will not be too late to ask me about my crime."

"But even if His Majesty wants to ask me about my crime, there are some things I have to say——"

"Your Majesty has excellent fortune. He is the destined emperor with the spirit of a true dragon. His ability to overwhelm all other forces and bring peace to the world is his destiny."

"But there are invisible laws between heaven and earth. No one can forcefully reverse it. Even Your Majesty, there are some things that you can't do anything about."

"Since your Majesty has followed the Taoist practice, you should know that 'water benefits all things without fighting, and humans do not fight, so no one in the world can fight with it.' This is not empty talk. The correct answer is to comply with the reality, comply with public opinion, and follow the trend."
