Sun An left, taking two young eunuchs and a few guards with him, and left the Qianqiying Yamen Office.
As soon as the old eunuch left, Chu Qing no longer looked like that playful smile.
He was certain of two things.
The first thing is that Huang Laosi was not curious at all about why this Taoist wanted Tuobale. He asked Sun An to come over to ask about Taoist Feng's details.
The second thing is that he doesn't know if the eldest princess is his mother, but he is sure that the fourth child thinks that the eldest princess is his mother, or at least doubts it.
"Chu Qing." After Tao Ruolin sat down, her expression was full of confusion: "Elder Princess, is this your mother?"
Chu Qing was stunned: "How do you know?"
"You didn't just pop out of a rock. Of course you have a mother, but the world has never seen your mother. Sun An just mentioned the nobles in the palace and changed his face when he mentioned the word eldest princess. Your color has changed, and when you were in the academy, Chang Chengyou called you Chu Qing, the honest Bajiao. After a pause for the word "honest", you should be called Lao Shi."
This is where Tao Ruolin is smart. She can tell something in just a few words. When she was in the academy, she felt something was wrong.
Chu Qing had nothing to hide from Tao Ruolin, and said with a wry smile: "My father has a painting of my mother wearing a Taoist robe. I peeked at it once, and several times my father shouted "Fu Ling Fu Ling" in his dreams. name…"
Tao Ruolin's eyes lit up: "Fu Ling is indeed the nickname of the eldest princess, the Emperor's favorite sister, and Chang Chengyou's aunt."
"Yes, they all have the same name. How could it be such a coincidence? That's why I always suspected that my mother was the eldest princess. When the name Fuling was mentioned for the first time, Huang Laosi and the old eunuch were both shocked and behaved erratically. Very weird."
"Then why don't you ask Chang Chengyou?"
"I feel like they are not sure either." Chu Qing shook his shoulders and felt that the pain in his back was not so bad anymore. He sat up on the bed and leaned on the soft cushion: "And my father, my father probably doesn't know that my mother I can’t ask about my identity, I think after Huang Laosi investigates clearly, he will take the initiative to find me.”
"I know a few things, but most of them are unconfirmed."
"What's up?"
"Bihua has been different from ordinary people since she was a child. She is extremely powerful. In addition, she has practiced martial arts. Although she is a girl, there are very few people in this world who can defeat her. At least I have never seen her. Even so, Bihua said , if she encounters this Taoist alone, she may not be able to defeat him, and among the countless Taoist temples in Zhongzhou, there is only one temple that practices martial arts."
"The Three Hidden Gates of the State Religion back then?"
"Yes." Tao Ruolin nodded and said: "The founding emperor was helped by the Three Hidden Sects. After the founding of the Chang Dynasty, the Three Hidden Sects became the state religion. According to rumors, Taizu Chang made an oath to the Three Hidden Sects after the founding of the dynasty. , every generation of princes from the Chang Dynasty will definitely choose one person to worship him among the three peaks."
This was the first time Chu Qing heard about this: "What then?"
"In the ninth year of Pingsheng, there were treacherous ministers in the Chang Dynasty and troubles caused by barbarians and Liang thieves outside. The Chang Dynasty was almost destroyed. It was rumored that Emperor Mingsheng had only one male heir, a prince, and could not worship the third prince. In the Daoyin Gate, the building was about to collapse, but Emperor Ming Sheng was suffering from a serious illness and had not been in court for nearly a month. According to rumors, Emperor Ming Sheng left the palace and traveled across mountains and rivers with only a few servants to enter the Three Daos. Mountain Gate.”
Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The country is almost gone. It's impossible for the emperor to ask for help from a Taoist. How generous is this?"
"I don't know whether it is true or not. I only know that more than a month later, the prince disappeared. Emperor Sheng of the Ming Dynasty appointed the son of King Zhou as the prince. The whole world was in an uproar. But not long after, the Liang army in the north died down and retreated, and the south rebelled. Many of the leaders of the Fanman tribe died violently one after another, and even the evidence of the crimes of the courtiers who formed factions for personal gain were spread to the world, and the nine tribes were executed, and the country no longer had internal or external troubles."
"Real or false?" Chu Qing was shocked when he heard this: "You mean that when Emperor Ming Sheng saw that the country was about to be destroyed, he followed the old rules and sent his only male heir to the Three Hidden Gates, and then the three Daoyinmen comes out of the mountain..."
Chu Qing didn't know what to say, and Fu San said with suspicion: "Even if the Taoists from the three hidden sects are extremely skilled, they can assassinate the Fanman leader, but they still can't make Liang Rong retreat."
"It's all rumors. When I was a child, a royal doctor in the palace had a good relationship with my father. After he became an official, he visited his home and said these things after getting drunk. I overheard this. I also heard what the palace servant said, whether it is true or false, there is no way to verify it."
Chu Qing felt that this was complete nonsense. If it were true, then Emperor Mingsheng more than sixty years ago would have been too good to slip away.
What the king of a country should do is to sacrifice everything to protect his country and make the country rich and prosperous. Even if it is going downhill, he must still struggle and struggle with all his strength instead of looking for some Taoist priests. If you have this It is better to donate travel expenses to children in disaster areas than to seek help from Taoist priests.
It's not that Chu Qing doesn't have a good impression of Daoism, on the contrary, he feels that Daoism is more than a little bit better than Buddhism.
But even so, it is impossible for the Taoist sect to influence the rise or fall of the country. It is possible for the aristocratic family to rise or fall, but it is not a rise, but a decline.
"It is unknown whether the chaos subsided that year was related to the Three Hidden Sects. However, after Emperor Zong Xiao came to the throne, through seven dynasties, in each generation, there were princes whose whereabouts were unknown, except for one."
Chu Qing looked confused: "All these princes have become Taoist priests?"
"That's how it should be. I worshiped through three hidden doors until..."
Chu Qing said: "Until the generation of the Supreme Emperor, the eight sons were busy fighting to death, but no one disappeared, which means no one became a Taoist priest, right?"
"That's not the case. Although the eight princes are here, there is one princess whose whereabouts are unknown."
"The eldest princess."
"yes."
"That's not right." Chu Qing rubbed his forehead: "Then why didn't Huang Laosi know about this? When he mentioned the eldest princess at that time, he was very surprised. This kind of shock obviously meant that he doubted my relationship with the eldest princess. Since he is stunned, it means that he does not know the whereabouts of the eldest princess at all, and since he does not know the whereabouts, it means that he does not know whether the eldest princess has entered the Three Hidden Sects."
Tao Ruolin turned around, opened the closed door, and smiled: "If you ask the truth, that person is probably from the Three Hidden Doors."
Without any hesitation, Chu Qing nodded to Fu San, stood up with the latter's help, put on his boots and left the house.
Tao Ruolin did not follow.
She knew too much about the affairs of the Tian family, even those trivial matters, and was not overly interested. If Chu Qing wanted to talk to her after asking, she would just listen and not tell, and she would just pretend she didn't know anything.
Without letting Jiang Yuesheng and other Tan Ma follow, Chu Qing only took Fu San into the dungeon that was being expanded.
It was expanded during the day, but no one was there at night. Several cells could still be used, and the Fengdao people were detained in the innermost part.
Feng Daoren's body was covered with chains, and there were six locks alone. Chu Qing even doubted whether the person who locked them could open them. The chains were as thick as a thumb, and the Hulk had to curse when he was tied up like this. .
Feng Daoren was already awake, wearing trousers and sitting cross-legged in the corner, as if he was asleep.
Hearing the footsteps, Feng Taoist showed a serious smile.
"You can't hold me down, Old Tao, I will escape sooner or later, but you can't hold me down, Old Tao!"
Feng Daoren's tone was very calm, as if he was saying an ordinary fact.
Chu Qing stood outside the cell and rolled his eyes: "Then I'll just kill you and that's it. Why should I be locked up anymore?"
Feng Taoist couldn't laugh anymore and opened his mouth. After a while, his tone was a little weak: "There is no deep hatred, it won't happen, it won't happen."
Chu Qing: "..."
Feng Taoist added: "The old Taoist has never had any murderous intention towards you."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "I still like you when you were unruly before."
None of the Feng Dao people were embarrassed to say anything.
I want to continue to be unruly, but the problem is that I am less than 100 kilograms in size and hang on a 180 kilogram iron chain, how can I be so unruly?
