The Prince and the Demon Monk [Rebirth]

"Uncle, I've made up my mind. Don't try to persuade me any more. Now that the deal is done, there is no turning back."

Liang Cheng stared into Li Duqiu's eyes without blinking, his eyes were clear and calm, and he said the last sentence.

Li Duqiu's lips were pursed into a hard arc, and he remained silent for a long time. Finally, he took out a white tiger jade pendant from his bosom, pushed it down in front of Liang Cheng, and said, "Take it. If you want to employ someone in the future, you can take this token to the nearest office." The Hongwei Escort is looking for Mr. Accountant, and someone will come out to welcome you."

The corners of Liang Cheng's eyes were already flushed, he solemnly accepted the white tiger jade pendant, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

He was afraid that he would lose control, and made a trembling sound.

Li Duqiu sighed secretly, and stroked Liang Cheng's hair with a big calloused hand, and said, "Uncle is going back to the border after the Chinese New Year. I'm alone, so take care of yourself."

"Hmm..." Liang Cheng nodded, quickly lowered his head, and pressed his palm tightly against the jade pendant until he forced back his tears, Fang raised his head and said, "Don't worry, Uncle, Cheng'er will definitely take care of herself, and you too... All things are precious.

The corners of Li Duqiu's resolute mouth curved slightly, his eyes softened, and he said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Liang Cheng's face immediately relaxed a lot. Thinking of Liang Ji outside the courtyard, he couldn't sit idly by after all, "I am a monk this time, and the forces in Beijing may have to be washed again. Ji'er is still young and can't go to court. For the time being Not a threat, Father, in order to contain the second and fourth princes, will not let Ji'er get into trouble right now."

Li Duqiu sneered, "Although I'm not in Dongdu, it's not so easy to touch your brothers."

Liang Cheng shook his head, "My concern is not with the other princes, but with Marquis Mengliu of Wuyang."

In his previous life, Mr. Mengliu used tricks to prevent him from becoming a prince, just to cause civil strife in the palace. Now that he has advanced this step, Mr. Mengliu will not remain silent. He is not in Dongdu right now, but in a few days, he will know about the prince's renunciation Therefore, based on Meng Liujun's accumulated hatred for Emperor Ming and Yuan, he will definitely take the opportunity to provoke and incite one of the factions of the second and fourth princes, causing disturbances and breaking the balance that has been maintained for many years.

But Liang Cheng was most afraid that one of them might do something to the Ninth Prince, and then put the blame on the other, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

Li Duqiu was puzzled, "Aren't you and Wuyang Hou very close friends?"

Liang Cheng bit his lips, "Uncle, it has been rumored that the father is not..."

"Be careful!" Li Duqiu shouted, interrupting Liang Cheng's words, his face seemed to be frozen, "How can you believe such nonsense?!"

"It's true!" Liang Cheng took a deep breath and said firmly, "The rumors are true. Father is not the son of the late emperor, and has always been deeply in love with Aunt Yuehe. When the son-in-law fell off the horse and died, it was... it was the father. The hands of the emperor, Meng Liujun has endured humiliation for many years, and planned all the time, what he did was to use the hands of the princes to get rid of the father."

Liang Cheng knew that what he said this time was difficult for his uncle to accept for a while, but he was afraid that in the future, he would regret it because of his foresight and hesitation at this time. Although he couldn't explain to his uncle how he knew all this, but even if his uncle loved him again, he would be born again. After all, what happened was too shocking, so he could only hide it.

Li Duqiu's eyes were dark, and he let out a breath slowly, "Since you already know, uncle has nothing to hide, your father... is indeed not the late emperor's son."

Liang Cheng was startled, and accidentally knocked over the teacup on the desk. The tea dripped down the corner of the desk and onto the wooden floor, making a "tick-tick-tick" sound, making the meditation room eerily quiet.

"Uncle, you...you already knew..." Liang Cheng was so shocked that white waves rolled up in his heart.

Li Duqiu got up, walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at a slanting plum branch across the window, and said: "Even your mother didn't know about this, and your uncle also confirmed it by accident. The Holy Majesty didn't know about it, otherwise You can't tolerate me even more, don't mention this matter again in the future, I will attract people's attention in Wuyanghou, you don't need to worry."

Liang Cheng wanted to ask again, but Li Duqiu didn't speak to him, "I know you are confused, I don't want to talk about the past, you just need to remember that he is now the emperor of Daqi, and it's still you Father Emperor."

Liang Cheng was silent, and said, "I see, uncle."

"Okay." Li Duqiu turned around and said, "I still have official duties, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time."

Liang Cheng understood, and re-skinned the cloak with Li Duqiu, and went out of the Zen room together. Liang Ji was kicking the court snow that the little novice had swept up into a pile, when he heard the sound of the door opening, his eyes lit up, and he let out a cheer. He jumped up to Liang Cheng, raised his hands high, and said, "Brother, Ji'er's hands are so cold, they are turning red from the cold."

I saw a pair of hands that had lost some of the soft flesh that is characteristic of a child approach Liang Cheng's chest. The joints were indeed red from the cold. Liang Cheng knew that Liang Ji had already started practicing the Bodhi Heart Sutra. Said, couldn't help laughing, "After the new year, I will be ten years old, and I will even wear a cloak. I can't be so reckless in the future, and make fun of my body."

Seeing that An Xiping was wearing Liang Ji's cloak, he asked An Xiping to wrap it around him.

Liang Ji waited for a long time, but he didn't see Liang Cheng wrapping his hands around him and rubbing them back and forth like before, and he didn't wrap a cloak around him himself. His eyes turned red. He put down his hands, waved away An Xiping who was walking forward, and rushed towards Liang Cheng. Roar, as if to vent the depression of the past few days: "If you don't want me, just say it! What kind of Buddha is dreaming, lying! You just don't want to go back to the palace, so you deliberately become a stinky donkey! If you don't want it, don't, Ben The king doesn't want you either!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to run, but was grabbed by Li Duqiu's collar.

"Let go of me! I'm going back to the palace!"

"It's not big or small, who taught you to do this!"

Li Duqiu yelled angrily. Liang Ji was afraid of his tough uncle since he was a child, so he didn't dare to act like a monster. He stood upright and turned around, but he didn't look at Liang Cheng, and his mouth was tightly pursed. Tight.

Liang Cheng really couldn't believe that such a younger brother would have anything to do with An Xiping's death. Meng Liujun's words could be taken as sowing discord, but what about Xiping...

Could it be that there is some misunderstanding?

The body preceded the thinking, Liang Cheng held Liang Ji's hands, and the child made a gesture of twitching, but he didn't make much effort, and a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.

Liang Cheng's heart softened, he squatted down, and said: "My brother didn't want Ji'er, it's my brother's fault, Ji'er don't be angry with my brother, okay?"

Liang Ji hesitated, seemingly reluctantly said: "Okay, my lord has a lot, so I will spare my brother."

Liang Cheng laughed, wrapped Liang Ji's hand, brought it to his mouth to breathe lightly, rubbed it for a while, and said with a smile: "It's warm now."

Liang Ji smiled slyly, put his hand into Liang Cheng's neck with a strange cry, and laughed loudly: "Haha, it's the warmest here."

Liang Cheng was caught off guard, and was so excited that he shuddered, but he didn't dodge, allowing Liang Ji to move, covering his neck, not wanting Liang Ji to make an inch, and retracting his hands into Liang Cheng's lapel, flesh to flesh The ground stuck to Liang Cheng's chest!

It's a pity that Liang Ji didn't succeed for a long time, and Li Duqiu grabbed his collar and slipped aside again, "Go back to Zha Mabu for an hour!"

"Ah, uncle don't want it, Ji'er knows it's wrong."

"Isn't it 'my king' now?" Li Duqiu said quietly.

"Brother..." Liang Ji turned to look at Liang Cheng pitifully.

Liang Cheng was disturbed by Liang Ji, his clothes loosened a lot, and his fair chest was faintly visible. It was inconvenient to tidy up at this time. After all, he had to untie the side skirts and rearrange his jacket, so Liang Cheng tightened his cloak to cover his collar. He took the cloak from An Xiping's hand, put it on for Liang Ji, then pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "Brother also thinks that Ji'er should take a good stride and set his temper."

Liang Ji's face fell, and he responded wearily.

Li Duqiu said: "Okay, I've seen you before, and you have brought all the clothes your mother asked you to bring, let's go."

"So fast?!" Liang Ji begged, "Uncle, can I..."

"No." Li Duqiu said incredulously, "Have you finished your homework today?"

"Alas." Liang Ji poked his head into Liang Cheng's arms with a bitter face, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, do you have to become a monk? I can't do my homework, so I can't ask you. The queen mother wanted to show you Girl from the aristocratic family, find me a sister-in-law, why do you have to be a monk, you can't even ask for a wife."

Liang Cheng listened to Liang Ji's rambling, and smiled wryly in his heart, Prince Da Qi wanted to appoint a concubine since he was sixteen or seventeen years old, but unfortunately with his body, the empress mother found a virtuous monk from nowhere, and ordered the prince to be weak before the crown It is not suitable for marriage, so this matter has been suppressed, and now the empress mother's remarks like this, I am afraid it is just a casual statement.

He touched the back of Liang Ji's head, and said softly: "When you leave the palace to build a mansion, you can come and see brother anytime."

"Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey..."

Liang Ji intends to be more sticky, but Li Duqiu has limited time, "If you continue to act like a little girl, it will add another hour to the horse's stance."

"Okay, brother will take you out." The back of the child in his arms stiffened, Liang Cheng patted him on the back in a funny way, took Liang Cheng's hand, and sent the two of them away from the temple.

After walking out of the plum grove and bypassing the lotus pond, Li Duqiu stopped, "Just send it here, let's go back."

Just as Liang Cheng was about to say goodbye, he saw Li Duqiu's momentum suddenly changed, he turned to look at an ancient pine tree with strong branches, and raised his voice, "I don't know how disturbing Master is here for meditation."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a monk fluttering down from the vigorous ancient pine. He was dressed in plain clothes and green shoes, spotless, with a leisurely and distant look, and the charm was quiet. The west wind blew from the plum grove, bringing white plums like falling snow, not like ordinary scenery.
