Chapter 73: Saving Lives
Li Shimin and himself became brothers in order to sever the relationship between himself and Gao Yang, Jiang Liu knew very well.
From the perspective of personal emotion, Jiang Liu's heart was naturally unwilling, but he couldn't say these words.
From Li Shimin's point of view, he has done a good job, in addition to being a father, more importantly, he is also the emperor of a country, responsible for all the people in the world.
Besides, because of himself, the locust plague broke out everywhere, the people were struggling to make a living, and Jiang Liu's heart also felt very guilty.
The so-called heavenly way is fair, unbiased, but also heaven's will is like a knife, ruthless and unjust!
Li Shimin stood on the prayer platform, and also quietly looked at the river, these days, he has also tried all means to save Gao Yang, but it has no effect, in Li Shimin's opinion, Gao Yang is certain to die.
He accepted Xuanzang as his royal brother, and there was no substantial damage to him, but he was able to save this unprecedented locust plague, which was the best way he could think of.
Of course, if Gao Yang still has a glimmer of life, and he beats the mandarin ducks with his own actions, Li Shimin may still have a little guilt in his heart.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness!", Jiang Liu also looked at Li Shimin quietly, and after being silent for a moment, he bowed to Li Shimin and said.
After leaving these words, Jiang Chuan turned around, walked barefoot, and left the venue of the prayer ceremony.
The civil and military officials and the people who knelt down looked at Jiang Liu and thanked them without saying a word, then turned around and left, all looking at each other.
This scene is obviously dissatisfied with the emperor, right?
Some military generals have already put their hands on the hilt of their swords, looking at the emperor, as long as the emperor is angry and gives an order, they will be the first to rush out and take down this thief who despises the imperial power.
Regardless of what kind of holy monk he has twelve rings, in this Tang Dynasty, it is naturally the emperor who has the final say.
"Hey......", looking at Jiang Liu's departing figure, Li Shimin didn't look angry, but sighed secretly in his heart, he could naturally understand the dissatisfaction in Jiang Liu's heart.
Intellectually, Jiang Liu did not resist the identity of the royal brother, but emotionally he was naturally very resistant, and he did not refuse in front of the world, which was already the greatest restraint of himself.
Otherwise, with his crazy energy that dared to swear to the sky to marry Gao Yang, who knows what would happen to him?
"Okay, let's go back", the matter has come to this, the matter of praying for heaven and the ceremony has ended smoothly, Li Shimin said happily, under the chanting of the eunuchs, he sat on the dragon and went back to the palace, and the civil and military officials and the people also dispersed.
What happened at this prayer ceremony, the emperor's benevolent act, and the fact that he and Master Xuanzang became brothers with different surnames, naturally spread like a hurricane, and it quickly spread.
"Hey, God's will makes people, and there is no joy in the identity of the royal brother, wealth and fame are like smoke, presumably Master Xuanzang is extremely bitter, right?", above the Moon Palace, Fairy Chang'e quietly held the jade rabbit in her hand, stroked it smoothly, and her voice was faint.
I don't know why, since Master Xuanzang swore to the sky that day, Chang'e has paid more attention to what is about to happen to him.
"There are really strange men in the world, that Princess Gaoyang, how lucky, how unfortunate ......", tens of thousands of miles away from Chang'an, in the fairy cave, a colorful fairy bird peacock turned into a beautiful woman, her eyes were full of distress and emotion.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you?", in Chang'an City, an official eunuch's house, since the prayer ceremony, their daughter has been closed, and even the maid has sent a word, saying that the sobbing sound of the young lady can be heard in the room, and the parents directly let the guards crash into their daughter's boudoir and break in.
"Father, mother, you go out, go out, your daughter is all right......", in the boudoir, the young lady leaned over the dresser and whimpered.
"Daughter, what's wrong with you, why are you crying?", looking at the appearance of her daughter, crying on her stomach for no reason, parents feel distressed.
"It's okay, my daughter is not crying for herself, she is crying for Master Xuanzang and Princess Gaoyang, God's will makes people, God is really ruthless to Master Xuanzang."
......
Before, Master Xuanzang, as a Buddhist disciple of the twelve precepts, openly swore that he was willing to marry Princess Gaoyang as his wife, and this matter spread all over the Three Realms and Six Realms, and his behavior made people feel crazy, but the women of the Three Realms and Six Realms, whether they were people, gods, immortals, demons, etc., felt moved.
This time, His Majesty the Tang Emperor accepted him as the royal brother, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the possibility between her and Princess Gaoyang, and then listening to Master Xuanzang being bowed down by hundreds of civil and military officials and all the people, his status is respected, although he did not refuse, but he left with a cold expression.
This reaction instantly seemed to stab the softest place in the hearts of these women, and these people were moved by the pain in Master Xuanzang's heart.
If someone asks the women of the Three Realms and Six Realms to vote at this moment, who is the most infatuated man in the world, I believe that Jiang Liu will definitely get the highest votes at this moment and be rated as the most infatuated man in the Three Realms and Six Realms.
......
Jiang Liu naturally didn't know about these things, his mind was all on Gao Yang's body, and after leaving the venue of the prayer ceremony, Jiang Liu walked barefoot and returned directly to Gao Yang's dormitory.
On the other side of the hall, after returning from the prayer ceremony, Li Shimin sat on his throne, and in front of him, Yuan Tiangang stood quietly, concentrating on his calculations.
But after a while, Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes, met Li Shimin's inquiring gaze, and bent down to salute: "Your Majesty, good news, the locust plague in this world is slowly subsiding, and it won't be long before the change will disappear completely."
"That's good, that's good......", hearing Yuan Tiangang's answer, Li Shimin let out a long breath of turbidity, relaxed, and finally succeeded in stopping the locust plague.
These days, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including him, the emperor, have been exhausted by the locust plague.
"Your Majesty ......", it's just that Li Shimin's breath hasn't completely relaxed, and suddenly, a palace maid hurriedly ran over.
"Huh, are you Gao Yang's maid, what's wrong, is something wrong with the princess?", looking at the palace maid who ran in, Li Shimin's breath that had just been relieved lifted up again, sat up a lot straighter, and asked urgently.
"Xuan, Master Xuanzang, he, he hugged the princess and walked ......", this palace maid Xu was in too much of a hurry, and her speech was intermittent, and she finally finished a sentence.
"He hugged Gao Yang and left?", hearing this, Li Shimin Huo Ran got up and chased outside.
At the gate of the palace, Jiang Liu was dressed in white, walking barefoot, holding Gao Yang in his arms, and walked out of the palace gate.
The guards at the door did not dare to stop them, and knelt down and saluted.
The emperor said, seeing the royal brother is like seeing me.
Jiang Liu's footsteps did not stop, and he continued to move forward, but where he walked, many people secretly covered their noses.
The whole body is almost rotten, Gao Yang is up and down, and there is already a foul smell, others dare not approach, only Jiang Liu, held in his arms, even if there is a lot of pus and blood stained on his body, he doesn't care.
"Royal brother, wait ......", but in a moment, Tang Emperor Li Shimin hurriedly chased after him, and behind him, there were many guards following him.
Jiang Liu's footsteps paused slightly, but he did not look back or answer.
"Brother Yu, you, where are you going?", smelling a foul smell, Li Shimin was also distressed.
"I'm going to save people", replied, and Jiang Liu continued to walk away.
Tang Emperor Li Shimin stood in place in amazement, looking at his figure holding Gao Yang away.
Saving people? I tried everything to no avail, where to save people? Who can save her!?
