Chapter 510 The Emperor's Son
At this time, in Kyoto, in the Evil Suppression Division, a figure looked at the letter in his hand, and then ran straight into the palace.
In the palace, Emperor De was branding a memorial in the imperial study. Suddenly, a eunuch walked in and whispered:
"Your Majesty, the head of the Evil Suppression Division is here to see you!"
After hearing this, Emperor De put down the memorial in his hand and said:
"Xuan!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, a majestic figure walked in.
"Your Majesty, An Yunnan, I am from the Evil Suppression Division. I am here to see your majesty!"
After hearing this, Emperor De smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said:
"My dear An, please stand up. It's so late. Why do you come to the palace to see me? What's the matter?"
Upon hearing this, An Yunnan immediately stood up and said:
“Your Majesty, I have received a secret letter that involves the possible origins of those evil spirits.
There is still one person, so I am undecided and come to ask for advice from Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Dedi immediately became interested and said:
"Oh? The origin of the evil spirit is interesting. Come on, bring it here for me to see!"
After hearing this, An Yunnan glanced at the eunuch who was serving on the side. Then, Emperor De understood the reason and waved his hand, asking him to leave.
Then, An Yunnan handed the envelope over.
However, when Emperor De saw what Captain Liu wanted to investigate, he immediately said:
"Do you want to know where those evil spirits were a hundred years ago? It would be best if you also know what happened there?
There is no problem with this matter, just leave it to him and see what he can say in the end."
However, when Dedi saw the last thing, he suddenly stood up from his chair.
He looked at the envelope in his hand excitedly and said:
"Is what it says here true? Did you really see a little baby who looks very much like me?"
After hearing this, An Yunnan nodded and said:
“Your Majesty, this should not be wrong. After all, Captain Liu, although only a captain, is our elder.
If it weren't for the fact that my Suppression of Evil Division is really short-handed, and if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the Suppression of Evil Division is at least innately skilled, Captain Liu would be more than just a captain.
Moreover, Liu Tong also holds a title, he has met Your Majesty, and he has fought with Taizu to conquer the world, so it is absolutely impossible that he is wrong."
After hearing this, Emperor De became excited, and he walked around the meeting, constantly speaking:
"Good, good, good! That's great, it's really great, I found it, I finally found it after nine years, a full nine years, I finally found it!
An Yunnan, you make arrangements immediately. I... no, tell the prince to go there!"
When these words were spoken, even An Yunnan was shocked.
"Your Majesty, this child, could it be true?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor De was silent for a moment, and finally suppressed the throbbing in his heart, stood up, and said:
“This matter is actually my royal family’s business, so it’s okay for me to tell you about it.
If this child is really a member of my royal family, then he must be the second son born to Queen Nian'er nine years ago.
You also know that although I have many concubines in my harem, the only one I truly favor is Nian'er.
However, Nian'er was in poor health. Since giving birth to the prince, she had only given birth to a son and a daughter nine years ago.
As for other concubines, I did not give them the right to have children. This is also to prevent the messy things that happened in the past.
However, just nine years ago, when the child was just one year old, His Majesty Taizu suddenly appeared and said that he would take my youngest son to a place to inherit the Taoist tradition.
But it didn't tell us where to take the child.
However, this is what His Majesty Taizu said after all, and we dare not disobey him, so we can only let it go.
Later, the Queen missed the child, and I went to ask Taizu, but Taizu just kept shaking his head and refused to say anything.
I never expected that my child would be sent to a small, dilapidated Taoist temple near the border."
However, after hearing this, An Yunnan seemed to have thought of something and said directly:
"Your Majesty, perhaps I know why?"
As soon as these words came out, Emperor De immediately looked up at him.
An Yunnan: "Your Majesty, the reason why Taizu didn't want to tell you is probably because he was afraid that after you knew about it, you would refuse this matter and take the child back.
That place is Xuanqing Temple, which helped His Majesty Taizu in the past. However, because it is a Taoist temple, it is almost impossible to pass it on. After all, our dynasty now prohibits the existence of such temples.
However, His Majesty Taizu also promised to allow Xuanqing Temple to be passed down, perhaps for this reason?
His Majesty Taizu has just selected one from among your descendants to send over.
After all, he is too old to be willing to go there, and given Emperor Taizu's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to order other people's offspring to be sent there.
Therefore, this kind of thing happened, probably to prevent His Majesty from taking the child back directly!"
Hearing this, Emperor De fell silent. How could he not know that what An Yunnan said was true?
In fact, after he heard about the Taoist temple, he thought about bringing the child back.
However, he didn't say it directly.
At this moment, An Yunnan suddenly said:
“Your Majesty, this may not be a bad thing. After all, the crown prince has been established. Although the child grew up in the mountains, according to Captain Liu, the child has already mastered some Taoist magic.
And it could also be the legendary thunder method, which is a method that has been in the legend for hundreds of years!
Although there have always been people boasting that they can use thunder magic, they have never learned it.
But the child has learned this strange skill. It is said that it can effectively restrain those evil spirits. In the future, if the child becomes stronger.
Perhaps I can enter this evil suppression department, and then…"
After hearing this, Emperor De's eyes sparkled, and he said:
“Give orders to investigate various places where strange things happened, and have them send over the events that happened a hundred years ago.
Also, have someone send the prince over there to see if it is him...
If it is really my bloodline, I will take it back first. As for what will happen after it comes back, I will ask His Majesty Taizu!"
Hearing this, An Yunnan immediately said respectfully:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it right away!"
...............................
On the other side, Xuanqing had nothing to do here, so he was meditating and practicing in the yard, looking leisurely and comfortable.
However, Captain Liu arrived here the next afternoon.
"Master, I have already checked the situation here. As for the situation in other places where evil spirits are, it will take some time to mobilize them!"
Xuan Qing heard this, smiled lightly, and said:
"Hahaha, it's okay, they are just minor problems. Tell me, what is the situation here? Where was this place a hundred years ago, and what happened?"
Captain Liu: "According to my investigation, the place where this evil spirit is located is originally a dilapidated courtyard.
However, a hundred years ago, that courtyard was not simple. It was a villa of the local county magistrate at that time.
I heard that this place is very gorgeous, but the county magistrate at that time was not a good person.
The son he gave birth to was not a good person either.
He often assaults decent women and rapes common women.
Moreover, every person who was snatched back was placed in this villa, and dozens of people died.
Later, the county magistrate was killed, and his concubine was not much better off and was also killed.
Here, everything inside was looted and it became abandoned over time.
Until now, it has become like this!"
