Under the gaze of Chengyang and Xue Qiang, Li Hong vaguely told the two of them what happened in the palace while eating, and the two of them spent a long time finally understanding the ins and outs of the matter, so they looked at Li Hong, who didn't care and was still stuffing chicken legs into his mouth.
"You careless little thing, are you trying to scare your queen mother to death? No wonder you hid out, alas...... Why are you so uneasy! Chengyang's face was a little bloodless, and he forced himself to calm his tone, and he still spoke with obvious trembling.
This matter can be big or small, in her opinion, it seems that in the court, this matter seems to be a big matter and a small matter. But if Wu Mei wants to do something in the harem, or if the little guy in front of her wants to go further, it is inevitable that someone will not take this turmoil out to talk about it in the future. At that time, even if his father wants to help him, if he faces the public opinion of the courtiers, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven.
Chengyang and his husband Xue Qian glanced at each other, the two have also been husband and wife for many years, and there should still be a tacit understanding, and they instantly understood each other's thoughts.
Xue Qian opened his mouth and said, "You just have an idea." ”
"Okay, let's help this little guy once, who called this little thing to make me like it in my heart." Chengyang nodded helplessly, sighed and watched Xue Qian get up and leave.
Then he turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be angry, he and his husband were in a hurry to discuss his affairs, and the little thing was still stuffing things into his mouth without care, and the sleeves of his own maid on the side were all used as rags by him, and they were all greasy, and he was sitting next to him, letting the little thing wipe her hands with her sleeves.
Chengyang suddenly became angry, got up and grabbed Li Hong's ears and gritted his teeth and said: "You unconscious little thing, my aunt is anxious for you, you are good, and you still have the heart to eat and drink here, tell me, where is your cleverness?" Don't you know how serious this is? It's still a month, where are you going to find such precious and rare things in a month? ”
"Oops...... It hurts, auntie, can you let it go first, oops, Hong'er's ears are about to fall off. The meat in Li Hong's mouth had no choice but to spit it out wastefully, and he bared his teeth and begged Chengyang for mercy.
"It hurts, it hurts, you don't have a long memory, every time your mother mentions you, she sighs, but you don't know how to fight, it's really hard for your mother to work so hard for you in the harem!"
"Oh, auntie, you and my mother are better, you don't need to work so hard to teach me for her, I said that I know it's wrong." Li Hong felt that Chengyang's hand was loose, and his ears didn't hurt so much.
Chengyang let go of Li Hong's hand, and saw Xue Qiang, who had just left, walking in with a valuable wooden box, and said to Chengyang: "I have already sent someone to inform Princess Lanling, it is estimated that I should be able to rush over in a while." ”
"Did the husband tell her to bring her things?" Chengyang slapped Li Hong's ass hard, and the little guy began to wipe the grease on his hands with his maid again.
Chengyang took the box in Xue Qiang's hand, and Li Hong looked at the expressions of the two people strangely, as if someone had cut the flesh of the couple.
"Here you go, take it back and give it to your father, you can say whatever you want from your father, even if you say you picked it up, don't say it's your aunt gave it to you." Chengyang instructed the maid to clean up the remaining food on Li Hong's desk, and put the wooden box on the bright desk and pushed it to Li Hong.
"What is this? For me? Why didn't you let your father know? Can my queen mother know? Li Hong asked several questions.
Li Hong's harmless and well-behaved baby expression made Chengyang, who was originally pretty, laugh angrily, and said with a sneer: "The Duobao Pagoda you fell today, the Persians gave you a gift to your imperial grandfather, when your aunt got married, your imperial grandfather gave one to your aunt, and the other one was given to Lanling by your imperial grandfather." Don't worry, my aunt has already informed you of Aunt Lanling, and she will bring her to you in a while. ”
When Li Hong heard this, he immediately shook his head and shook his hands, and said anxiously as if he was swinging: "Don't, don't, it's too precious, you better keep it, this was given to you by the emperor's grandfather back then, I don't dare to ask for it, if my father knows about it, he won't break my legs." ”
"You still know that you are afraid, now that you know why you are afraid and break your anger......."
"Wait a minute, auntie, you said that this was given to the imperial grandfather by the Persians?" Li Hong suddenly remembered something, interrupted Chengyang's words and asked.
"yes, what's wrong, what's the problem?" Chengyang asked strangely.
Li Hong opened the wooden box and saw a multi-treasure pagoda lying inside, which was the same as the one he smashed in the Linhu Temple, so he asked strangely: "Isn't this unique to the Guizi Kingdom?" Why did the Persians have it? The country of Guizi also sent these to the Persians? ”
Xue Qian smiled, carefully took out the Duobao Pagoda inside, and wiped the dust that did not exist on it, if it wasn't for Chengyang to give it to Li Hong today, he planned to pass it on to his family.
So he explained to Li Hong: "This multi-treasure pagoda is indeed from Persia, not Guizi, Guizi took out such a valuable treasure to offer His Majesty this time, I am afraid that he has something to ask for His Majesty, as for whether this multi-treasure pagoda is made by Guizi Country itself, it is a big question, it is said that Persia gathered the craftsmen of this multi-treasure pagoda in a secret place, and never allowed them to contact with the outside world, the purpose of which is to maintain the uniqueness of the texture of the multi-treasure pagoda." ”
Li Hong didn't look at the Duobao Pagoda carefully in the Linhu Palace, but at this moment, he took it from Xue Qiang's hand, carefully looked at the carved portraits on the Duobao Pagoda and said: "How do I feel that this Duobao Pagoda does not seem to be made by craftsmen from the Western Regions, but more like it is made by my Tang Dynasty craftsmen?" ”
Xue Qian smiled and said firmly: "Impossible, this is the pride of their Persia, all the craftsmen and production are the secrets of Persia, and it is impossible for them to be made by my Tang Dynasty craftsmen." ”
Li Hong stared at the Duobao Linglong Pagoda, then looked up at the Chengyang couple, scratched his head in annoyance, and said suspiciously: "Since you are so sure uncle, then you can explain to me, the Sumeru seat depicted on the base of this tower, as well as this lotus pedestal, as well as the octagonal thirteen-layer dense eaves, and the twenty-four Buddha shrines on each floor are more like the meaning of Tang Buddhism?" ”
Xue Qian was stunned, and Chengyang was also stunned, this ...... How is this possible? Why has no one ever questioned these? Now, after being reminded by Li Hongyi, and then carefully studying the carved picture on the Duobao Linglong Pagoda, it suddenly seems that there are indeed many flaws, and everything on this tower is indeed in line with the Tang people's understanding of Buddhism and depicted.
Li Hong looked at the two of them with a somewhat stunned expression, and continued: "Also, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda built by the Emperor Father, don't you think there are too many similarities with this Linglong Pagoda?" If you look at the words engraved on the four sides of this base, why is it not Persian, but the text of my Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Hong flipped the Duobao Linglong Pagoda, and said slowly in his mouth: "The front of this tower is engraved with the words 'Wanshou Tower', and this side is the south, so the east side must be engraved with the four words 'Calm Emperor Map', the north side is naturally 'Zhenci Hongfan', and the west side must be 'Huiteng Sun and Moon', aunt, do you remember what my father said when he first ordered the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in order to commemorate my imperial grandmother?" ”
Chengyang was shocked by Li Hong's explanation and was speechless, snatched the Duobao Linglong Pagoda in Li Hong's hand and looked through it carefully, and the four sides were indeed engraved with the fifteen characters, which were the words that Li Zhi wanted to engrave on the base of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda back then, which was used to commemorate the queen mother.
"...... this?" Chengyang looked at Li Hong blankly, he didn't expect that such a multi-treasure pagoda would still hide so many secrets.
"Obviously, these pagodas are made by my craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. One very small possibility is: 'Unless this is something they made specifically for my grandfather, so they engraved these Chinese characters.' But how can we explain that it is engraved with the fifteen characters that my father said? Obviously, there is only one possibility, this is made by my Tang Dynasty craftsmen, and even the first batch of craftsmen who built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda back then! Li Hong put the Duobao Pagoda into the wooden box, covered the lid, and also made a definitive statement about the origin of the Duobao Linglong Pagoda.
Xue Qian closed his eyes and pondered, what Li Hong guessed was even completely correct, this tower was made by craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, but why did it never appear in the Tang Dynasty, but came from distant Persia?
"This matter may only have to be asked by the Ministry of Works or the person who will be the supervisor, as long as you find the list of the first batch of craftsmen who built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, you can know who made this tower." Xue Qian opened his eyes and said.
Chengyang was dumbfounded, obviously caught up in the memories of the year, and it wasn't until Li Hong's little hand waved in front of her eyes that Chengyang's soul was summoned.
Chengyang slapped Li Hong's little hand that was shaking around, and said angrily: "What's the use of thinking carefully about this?" Could it be that you can still glue your broken tower together? You still have to think about it, after your Aunt Lanling comes here for a while, will your little butt be beaten by Lanling. ”
"No, I said the result of my guess, just to let my aunt not worry about me, maybe we Datang will be able to find this same Duobao Linglong Pagoda." Li Hong lazily lay on the desk, put his chin on the wooden box and said.
"Princess Lanling has arrived." The home sent a loud voice in from afar through the door.
"I'm going to meet my aunt, don't go." Li Hong hurriedly got up from the desk, in order to prevent his little ass from being beaten, it was necessary to curry favor with Lanling, who had always been simple.
"This is the number of courtesies, Lanling is here, and I, as the master, can still sit upright." Chengyang took Li Hong's little hand and walked to the front yard, Xia Zhi followed Li Hong on the other side, after leaving the palace, the responsibilities of several of their personal palace maids and eunuchs suddenly became heavy, and it was their real duty to protect the king.
