When a bowl of soup was finished, the heart of Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian gradually returned to normal. With the help of Gao Yanfu, he staggered towards the bedroom behind the imperial study room, lay on the bed, closing his eyes to rest.

"What did Guer do today that made the emperor so angry? She has always been a filial child. Since she was a child, she knew how to please you, a father." Wei Wushuang, the Queen of Shuntian Yisheng, also slowly followed in, sat by the bed, took Li Xian with one hand, and asked gently.

"She went to Zhang Shaojian's house to force someone else's life-saving pills!" Li Xianyu was still angry and frowned, and responded unhappily, "I also said that she is the king and the other party is the minister. If the king needs it, I should serve it with both hands!"

"This kid, I really don't know the rules of speaking!" Wei Wushuang was stunned. The figure of Princess Anle hurriedly leaving in front of her eyes quickly flashed in front of her, and then she smiled and helped to explain: "But she should have been in a hurry and spoke nonsense. Zhang Shaojian refused to sell it and refused her. Why did she sue the sued him again?"

"She was not in a hurry, that's what she thought. She always wanted to be the second queen!" Li Xian glanced at his wife and shook her head powerlessly, "Don't always spoil her! Her appearance will sooner or later cause trouble!"

"With the Master here, who dares to touch her at all!" Shuntian Yi Sheng Empress Wei Wushuang immediately raised her eyes like a python touched by a reverse scale, and her handsome face was filled with cold air, "Your Majesty, would you allow it? For us, she had just finished sacrificing herself to marry into the Wu family!"

In the second half of the sentence, the lethality is extraordinary. The face of Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian immediately showed an unconcealed look of pain. His breathing had just returned to his steady state and became short and heavy.

He was re-established as the crown prince by his mother and Empress Wu Zetian, and he was in danger of being deposed for the second time at any time. The loans borrowed from Buddhism were almost exhausted at that time. At the critical moment, it was Princess Anle and the Queen's favorite nephew Wu Chongxun who was pregnant before marriage and married into the Wu family with a child, which made the Wu clan completely relieved him as the prince.

In other words, Princess Anle helped him stabilize the position of prince with his whole life. Otherwise, he would have been deposed by his mother a long time ago, and he might have died tragically under his mother's butcher knife like his two brothers.

This matter has always been regarded as a great humiliation by him. Every time he thinks about it, he feels sorry for his daughter. Therefore, no matter how irritating or willful Princess Anle is, he is reluctant to give him any punishment. Because in his heart, half of his throne was exchanged for his daughter with his body, and he has never paid off this debt for his father for several lifetimes!

"Besides, how could he be the second Queen of Zetian with Guer's identity?" Wei Wushuang clearly saw the pain on Li Xian's face, but she was still unwilling to let go. "She only relies on your favor to be more willful. When you reach the throne a hundred years later, the prince will ascend the throne, where can there be any place for Guer to speak in and outside the court?"

This was the second scar in Li Xian's heart. After being deliberately poked by his wife, he immediately felt so painful that he could hardly breathe.

He and Wei Wushuang had a deep love, but they only gave birth to one son. Moreover, when he was 19 years old, he criticized Zhang Yizhi, the queen for being executed together after drinking, because he was two of his sister Li Xianhui.

Therefore, after a hundred years, no matter which prince ascended the throne, he would not be born to the same mother as Princess Anle. At that time, Princess Anle's status and treatment will inevitably plummet.

"Qilang, Guer's life is miserable. He didn't even have a piece of clothes when he was born." Wei Wushuang's voice suddenly became gentle and sad. "You should tolerate her more. If you make a fool of yourself, how can she go to a girl's house? It's just closing the door and daydreaming at your own home."

"Oh" Li Xian's heart was sore and painful, and she sighed, and tears slowly flowed out of the corners of her eyes. "Of course I can tolerate her, including the elixir. If I get angry again, will I give her the same thing in the end? But if she is so willful and treacherous, which prince can bear the throne? If the two brothers and sisters cause disaster to Xiao Wall..."

Four white fingers quickly pressed on his lips. Queen Wei Wushuang gritted her teeth and shook her head with a smile, "Master, why don't you be the emperor? As long as you are the emperor, you will not be afraid that Bu'er will pierce the sky!"

"How is that possible?" Unexpectedly, the cruelty that had just flashed in Wei Wushuang's eyes, Li Xian closed his eyes and shook his head tiredly, "Since ancient times, everyone has called long live the emperor. But who has ever seen an immortal emperor?"

"The Great Sage Empress Zetian lived to be eighty-two years old, and the emperor will definitely only live longer than her." She quickly waved her fingers to dispel the smell of medicine in her nostrils. Empress Wei continued to gently unravel, "I have already lit a long-lived lamp for the emperor in Shengshan Temple in Luoyang. There are monks who recite scriptures in turn to protect her. Every year the light lasts for one year, it can add one century to the emperor's life!" (Note: One Chronicle, twelve Years.)

"Wu Shuang has trouble!" Li Xian glanced at his wife and nodded with a smile.

He has always been skeptical about the monks' trick of increasing longevity. However, his wife can do so much for him, which still makes him feel very warm.

In this life, he was despised by his mother, betrayed by trusted people, bullied by powerful ministers and relatives. He can be said to have experienced all the coldness of the world. His wife never despised him or let him down. He always followed him in storms and shared hardships.

"The Great Sage Empress Zetian killed so many innocent people, but she could still live to 82 years old because she was very sincere in worshiping the Buddha." Knowing that Li Xian did not believe in the effect of the Longevity Lamp, Empress Wei thought about it and whispered to add.

This is too persuasive, and Li Xian couldn't help but think deeply without closing his eyes.

Whether from the perspective of a son or from the perspective of a king of a country, the Empress Zetian of the Great Sage in his eyes are all rare tyrants in ancient and modern times! Compared with Jie of Xia and Zhou of Shang, they are not inferior to each other! However, he has to admit that Empress Zetian of the Great Sage far exceeds his grandfather and great-grandfather, and even left his father without a trace.

If there are really any good deeds, I can offset the murder of the Great Sage Empress Zetian, it is probably a matter of worshiping Buddha. After all, to the point of sending monks with no experience in leading troops to become the commander of the army, Emperor Wu of Liang would probably be reluctant to be at a disadvantage. (Note: Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan believed in Buddhism and became a monk many times. During the Wu Zetian period, Xue Huaiyi, the head of the White Horse Temple, served as the chief marching officer many times, leading troops to resist the Turks.)

"In the afternoon, Huifan sent his junior brother Huizhong to visit his brother, saying that when he was building Shengshan Temple in Luoyang, the good men and women donated 40,000 yuan in merit money, and wanted to offer it to His Majesty as a New Year gift." Seeing that the preparation was almost done, Empress Wei shook Li Xian's hand gently and reported in an extremely low voice.

"Don't take it away. Shengshan Temple has just been rebuilt. There are almost more temples in Luoyang than in the streets!" Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian frowned quickly, opened his eyes, and refused decisively.

"He did not make any request this time, but he sincerely offered the gift to the emperor." Empress Wei was not disappointed, and smiled, his voice as gentle as before.

"Didn't make any request?" Li Xian couldn't believe his ears, because his wife's statement was obviously different from the previous behavior of Yonggong Huifan. However, he soon linked the actions of the monks with the recent major events, frowned again, and asked in a low voice: "The incident and assassination of Baima Temple have been spread to Luoyang? It is impossible. Even if it was spread, Huifan would not have time to send his junior brother Huizhong over for such a short time! Unless he and Huizhong have been staying in Chang'an recently."

"Maybe there is some secret method in Buddhism!" Empress Wei smiled and took over the conversation and explained in a low voice, "Who knows? There have always been many magical powers in their sects that they will not easily show to others."

"Yeah!" Li Xian felt nervous when he heard this, and he sneered and shook his head again: "Don't accept it. I'll just accept this intention. Also, you will pass on a verbal order to Huifan and Huizhong in the name of the queen, so that he would restrain the Buddhists recently and not make trouble. Setting up an altar at my doorstep will really not exist in the court?"

Although he said it seriously, in fact, letting Empress Wei give a sufficient face to give Huifan, Huizhong and others as his personal identity. However, Empress Wei Wushuang was not very satisfied, slowly put away her smile and whispered: "Sage, Baima Shande Temple, but it was burned by the fire last night..."

"It has nothing to do with military weapon surveillance, the arsonist poured a lot of hot tinder oil!" Li Xian rarely took a serious look in front of his wife, sat up, and added solemnly, "I have sent someone to investigate the family extermination case in Baima Temple, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Qing. Who did it? You will be clear when you summon Guer to your side and ask."

"The White Horse Temple family annihilation case is related to Gu'er?" This time, it was finally Empress Wei's turn to be surprised once. She widened her almond eyes and looked in disbelief.

"You go and ask her, and ask again, who did she ask for life-saving pills for? You will understand!" Li Xian glanced at his wife and shook his head with a serious face. "The monks in the White Horse Temple in Qujiang are indeed seeking death. This case involves Anle's reputation and the martial arts family, and it is difficult for me to investigate. But I cannot easily let go of the case of the monks assassinating officials in the street. Even as you said, there will inevitably be dead branches in big trees, and the dead branches must be cut off, instead of just throwing out a few rotten leaves and trying to get through it."

"Will someone deliberately set fire to Shangshan Temple not be pursued?" As for his favorite little daughter, Empress Wei was in a mess, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to seek "justice" for Buddhism.

"Someone tried to muddle the water. The Baiqisi is still pursuing which one it is!" Li Xian looked at him again, his face extremely ugly, "But this cannot be a reason for me to give up the assassination. It is not a reason for the monk to take the opportunity to cause trouble! I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The monk blocked the doorsteps of the fifth-rank official's house. No official would be happy. I cannot keep all the memorials, nor can I hide, and I will not see the officials!"

"Master, I obey the order!" A bright smile suddenly appeared on Empress Wei's face. She left the chair and squatted to Li Xian mischievously, "Master does not allow me to accept Huifan's New Year gifts. If I don't accept me, why should I keep my face so tight, as if I have made you angry?"

"It's not that you are angry with you, but that you hope you will be far away from those monks in the future. You are the mother of a country, with majesty and status from me and the court, not Buddhism." Realizing that he spoke to his wife just now, Li Xian smiled apologetically and slowed down his voice to explain, "And, they should restrain themselves. It is true that they have kindness to you and me, but I cannot turn the Tang Dynasty into a Buddha's country!"

"Of course not, Your Majesty is wise and powerful, how could he be at the mercy of Buddhism?" As if coaxing a child, Empress Wei followed Li Xian's tone, but she was very dissatisfied with the warning he made. "I have sent someone to pass on oral instructions to Huizhong tomorrow. But..."

She deliberately made a hesitant look. She pondered for a moment before adding softly: "Is it too early for Your Majesty to let the monks withdraw from the altar now? This little thing should be left to the local area to deal with, and it should not alarm the emperor. Besides, the monks just asked Zhang Shaojian for trouble, and Your Majesty was eager to support him. He was so young that he would inevitably become arrogant in the future! It would be better to make him feel uncomfortable for a few days. When he was forced to be desperate by the monks, Your Majesty would pull him again so that he could completely return to His Majesty!"

A few words happened to capture Li Xian'er's weakness in his soft heart. He immediately made the latter hesitate.

To be honest, there are so many officials in the fifth jail of Jiu Temple. A fifth rank in prison is in trouble, and it is indeed not worth disturbing the Dragon Emperor Li Xian! The reason why he was anxious to stop the monks was simply to avoid the trouble getting bigger and bigger and let himself face more trouble to deal with it. (Note: Li Xian handles the problem differently from other emperors. According to the Zizhi Tongjian record, the censor Cui Wan impeached Prime Minister Zong Chuke to accept bribes. His solution was to make the two brothers.)

"Master, the way to control the minister is to use his kindness and power. I have always heard of this person. I am indeed extraordinary. I am not in vain. The emperor is very proud of him. However, he is also arrogant, as if no matter how courtesy His Majesty gives him, he is worthy of it. Therefore, taking this opportunity, Your Majesty might as well "decorate" him!" Seeing that Li Xian was already moved by his own words, Empress Wei smiled and continued to add softly, "If the emperor is not at ease, he will send the Hundred Cavalry to keep an eye on him. Whenever there is any situation, report to the Emperor at any time. Maybe if he is forced to be cruel by the monk, he can show more real skills to give the Lord a surprise!"

"Yes" Li Xian was moved when he heard this, and he nodded slowly while pondering.

As his smart and considerate queen said, in his heart, Zhang Qian is indeed a rare talent, but he is really too arrogant and unrestrained in his character and lacks enough respect for anyone, including himself, the emperor. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to polish his character, otherwise, it will be difficult for anyone to control him in the future!

"Master, it's late at night, it's so warm here. I don't want to go back!" My wife's voice came again, gentle and sweet, as if the cat's meow in a spring night.

"If you don't want to go back, just stay. This is mine and yours. I promised back then, and I will keep my word!" Li Xian immediately understood it, quickly grabbed Empress Wei's hand, and pulled the other party into his arms with force.

"Gududu, Gudududu, Gududu..." The water in the pipe was boiled by the water stove again. It rolled up and down in the specially made pressure relief box, scattering the thick mist and spring all over the room.

Outside the door, the snow fell harder and more urgent.

…………………………

It snowed all night, but there was no accumulation of any of them on the ground. Before the sun came out, all the snow particles turned into ice water, making the places inside and outside Chang'an City muddy.

It seemed as if I was afraid that the pedestrians would be offended, but after the sunrise, God suddenly blew the north wind again. This move was too fierce. The wet water vapor was blown by the cold wind and almost everywhere, making people's face turn blue and snot flow. The outer robes and underwear on their bodies were cold and hard, heavier than armor!

Such bad weather is definitely a test for good men and women who believe in "The Endless Buddha Dharma". The number of people coming to watch the altar opposite Zhangjiazhuang, who release animals and help is three-quarters less than yesterday. The monks who sit around the altar chanting are also significantly weaker in the voice. And every half an hour, they have to change to the altar to cook fire, so that the monks themselves will not be able to get sick before they can get rid of the demons opposite the river.

When the news came back to the palace, the Emperor Yingtian Shenlong Li Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The officials who had already shared the same hatred with Zhang Qian found that the weather was so bad that the monks might make a big joke and no longer rushed to urge Yousi to disperse the monks as soon as possible. Some young officials even started a gambling game with a smile, seeing that Zhang Qianxian could not stand the monks' chanting, or the monks could not bear the wet and cold weather first.

This gambling game was very boring. The temperature was hot and cold for three consecutive days, and the number of good men and women near the altar also increased and decreased with the temperature. However, no more changes occurred in both the monks chanting on the south bank of the river or the Zhang family on the north bank of the river.

The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding between each other. You recite your scriptures, I raise my wounds, and do not interfere with each other. On the morning of the fourth day, in order to avoid conflict between the people and the good men and women, Ren Quan, the chief steward of Zhangjiazhuang, actually led a large number of servants to pry up the bridge boards on the wooden bridge and take them away. Let the two sides want to have a relationship again, at least ten miles more, which is equivalent to completely cutting off the possibility of an armed fight.

"What do you want to do? My Senior Brother Zhang? Do you think you can stop the monks from touching you in the middle of the night?" Luo Huaizu, who had changed his body to the accountant, rushed to the study room and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Master!"

"Uncle Master!"

Under Zhang Qian's guidance, Guo Nu and Ren Cong, who used thick paper and black powder to make medicine twists, both stood up and bowed to Luo Huaizu with great respect.

Because of this person's preparations, Guo Nu and Ren Cong have led their servants to defeat three times of infiltrating poisoning and assassination in the middle of the night. Therefore, both of them admired the sudden appearance of Master Qi Mo. They wished that this person could help him get an idea as soon as possible and beat the bald donkeys on the other side of the river.

"It's cold weather, the bad people guarding the bridge have worked hard. After removing the bridge board, they can go back to the Jingzhao Prefecture Office to pay the bill!" Zhang Qian's performance was as calm as the night before. He just kept holding a wooden spoon and put black powder on the paper cut in advance, as if the powder was made of gold, and he was afraid that he would accidentally spill a little of it.

"They don't have to work hard, but if I want to cross the river and fight back, I have to go around in a big circle!" Luo Huaizu was so angry that his nose rolled up and gritted his teeth. "I don't know how to cross the river with one reed. It's all a trick made up by monks. There is a wooden stake under the water. If you need to smash the wooden stakes in advance, the further you take a detour, the easier it is to startle the surrounding eyeliner."

"I have said everything, I won't bother Master Uncle. Just give me some advice!" Zhang Qian smiled, put the last spoonful of gunpowder on the note, and signaled Ren Cong and Guo Nu to put their thoughts back on the medicine.

"Then you listen to my ideas. If you give you the advice, you either don't listen or make a mess." Luo Huaizu was angry and anxious, and stomped his feet and complained.

"Uncle Master, drink tea!" Zhang Qian put down the wooden spoon and poured a cup of tea for Luo Huaizu and himself with a smile. "Although he changed his ideas slightly, he still followed the meaning of Uncle Master. I told you in advance that we, Qin Mo and Qi Mo, have been separated for more than a thousand years, and the way we do things is very different from each other."

"You..." Although he knew that this sentence was perfunctory, Luo Huaizu had no choice but to do anything. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Zhang Qian's body and his brows quickly frowned, "Your legs are fine? You can stop relying on crutches today? Could it be that you Qin Mo, you, have a way to fly over the river, so you deliberately broke down the bridge to show weakness?"

"No, it's just that the pain is not so bad!" Zhang Qian looked at the injured part of his thigh, shook his head with a smile, "I still can't run away, nor can I fight with people. There are indeed many ways to fly over the river in the master's sect, but I can't use it now."

"Is there really a way?" Luo Huaizu was shocked and decisively ignored Zhang Qian's contempt towards him over the past few days, and urged in a low voice, "Tell me, how to fly. If your method is feasible, I will go to the other side of the shore tonight. This time, don't you pay any reward."

"I can teach you the method, but you don't need to help me take the risk of assassinating the monk. Uncle Master, just think of a way to help me find a way to divert the attention of the hidden stakes around the village for a period of time." After dealing with this person for a long time, Zhang Qian had gradually figured out a practical way, thought about it, and bargained.

"That's not simple!" It turns out that he has a specialty in his profession. In Zhang Qian's opinion, Luo Huaizu gave a solution in one sentence. "When needed, let your housekeeper take his servants and hold the dog to prevent the monk from making trouble, searching around. The reason why the hidden stakes are hidden stakes cannot be exposed to the open. In order to avoid your servants and hunting dogs, they naturally have no time to focus on the village."

"My solution is also simple!" Zhang Qian smiled and grabbed the carbon strips and drew a huge triangular wing on the white paper. "The master's sect is called this paraglider. This is the keel, and this is the handle. It is especially suitable for a person with high martial arts skills like Uncle Master. Use bamboo for keel, and use thick silk cloth on the surface of the wings to paste several layers. It is definitely not possible at the beginning, but as long as you practice more, let alone the small river at the entrance of the village, it will not be a problem to have a big river that is twice as wide as a large river."

"Zhuzi, I treat you sincerely, you actually deceive me again?" Luo Huaizu was furious and widened his eyes and roared loudly. However, he found that Zhang Qian's face had not changed at all, and the anger in his heart quickly plummeted, "It's really OK? Why have I never heard of this thing before?"

"There are similar things in the "Magic Map of the General Administration of the Mohist Party". It's just that you didn't think about it carefully!" Zhang Qian smiled and marked the approximate size on the picture and explained in a low voice.

He was actually not sure whether the paragliding could be made of bamboo and silk cloth. But with Luo Huaizu's martial arts and reaction speed, even if the test flight failed, he would definitely not die. Therefore, if there is such a master around him, of course, he cannot be wasted. It is also considered that he can do his best to try some dangerous projects for him!

Of course, it would be even better if the test fails one day and the old guy falls to death. The cooperation between the two sides is originally a tyranny. When the old guy has the opportunity to cheat him, he will never waste it easily!

"Then I'll try it another day! However, this time you took advantage of me again. The map was lent to you by me, but you took my stuff to trade with me." Hearing that there were similar patterns in the "Map of General Administration of the Mohist Government", Luo Huaizu's suspicion immediately dropped sharply. While recalling the specific content on the map in his mind, he stepped forward and put away the sketch Zhang Qian had just drawn.

Zhang Qian had no time to argue with him, so he turned his gaze back to his two junior brothers, "I will talk about the key points again. After igniting the twist, run and run as far as you can."

"Remember!" Ren Cong and Guo Nu agreed in unison, and both turned their eyes to the bronze bell placed in the outer room.

The three bronze bells were installed on a wheelbarrow according to Zhang Qian's requirements. Any adult man could move freely when he pushed them. However, just by relying on these three bronze bells and the things stuffed in the bell, he could break the altar on the other side of the river? The brothers Guo Nu and Ren Cong were really unbelievable.

"Then go back and rest and wait until it's dark!" There were no outsiders present, and Zhang Qian did not hide his plans. He looked at the sun just above his head outside the window, and smiled and ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky suddenly became dark. Then, the big goose in the yard screamed wildly, and the dog also opened its throat and barked wildly.

He was stunned and held the teacup, and quickly ran towards the windowsill. He pushed open the window and looked at the sky. He saw that there was no dark cloud in the sky, but the sunlight became extremely dim.

"It's broken, Tiangou swallows the sun!" Luo Huaizu's voice rang behind him, nervous and hoarse. "The monks' real killer moves are hidden here. It's fake to recite scriptures. They calculated that there might be Tiangou swallows the sun in the past few days. So first put the demon's hat on your head, and after the Tiangou swallows the sun happens, you can take the opportunity to confirm your name as a demon!"
Chapter completed!
