If you want to save Fourth Master Xiao, Bai Congjian has to agree to this request. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Emperor Wan Qi did plan very well.

No matter how things turn out, he can stay out of the way and not cause the slightest gossip.

No one could have guessed that this had something to do with him.

"I knew there was going to be a day. Mu Bairan smiled bitterly, "My father was able to stop His Majesty for a while, how could he stop him for the rest of his life." ”

Whether it is Emperor Wentai or Emperor Wanqi, they both believe in Taoism very much.

Emperor Wentai still knew how to retreat, and when he came to Emperor Wanqi, he had the intention of suppressing Buddhism.

Back then, Emperor Wan Qi had the idea of slaughtering all the monks in the capital, but fortunately he was stopped by his father Wen Tianrui in time.

And Emperor Wan Qi gave birth to this thought, just because of a woman.

Mu Bairan remembered that when his brother resigned, he once said to him, "I can't save it." ”

Mu Bairan wondered why his brother said such a sentence at the time, but now that he thinks about his brother's words, it is so appropriate today.

Emperor Wanqi, there is no cure.

Although he knew that there was no way to change Emperor Wan Qi's mind, Mu Bairan's heart still felt sad, as a doctor, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep because he saved someone, and even went to touch those medicinal herbs that would eat back against him, and became a witch doctor. He thought that he could save many people, but now he had to watch the people of Da Chu struggle in the flames.

He didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, there would be a sea of blood in front of him.

"Sir. Mu Bairan was silent for a long time before he said, "You agreed?"

Bai Congjian smiled faintly, "Do you think I will agree?"

Hearing this, Mu Bairan breathed a sigh of relief.

The master is the master, and he will not sacrifice the lives of countless innocent monks just because he wants to save someone. This is also the reason why he and his brother are willing to follow the master.

This person deserves their respect.

Over the years, Emperor Wan Qi was somewhat afraid of the Bai family, because Emperor Wan Qi always believed that although the Bai family chose to engage in business, they held a force in their hands that could not be placed on the surface, which was enough to confront the imperial court.

Even Emperor Wentai once thought so.

They wanted to punish the nine clans of the Bai family, but they were afraid that doing so would shake the foundation of the country. I want to move, but I can't...... And there was much resentment.

These resentments are enough to make the head of the Bai family step on thorns with every step.

Privately, Mu Bairan also tried to find out if the Bai family really had this power. However, Mu Bairan listened for many years, but he didn't gain the slightest.

The only thing I know is that this young master of the Bai family has a good reputation in foreign regions and rivers and lakes.

"The master didn't agree. Zhou You'an, who was on the side, interjected in a low voice, "So Your Majesty is angry, let me teach the master some lessons." ”

Mu Bairan said uneasily, "What lesson?"

"Every year on the master's birthday, the master will go to the White Horse Temple to stay for a few days. Zhou You'an said slowly, "The lotus pond in the back mountain has always been taken care of by the master, and these lotus queen mothers also like ......."

Zhou You paused for a moment, and only after half a sound did he squeeze out a sentence, "Your Majesty instructed me to set fire to the lotus pond in the back mountain on the day of my master's birthday." ”

Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger.

Emperor Wan Qi's idea is actually not simple.

There are many lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the mountain behind the White Horse Temple, which were planted by Princess Danyang and the previous Queen of the Xiang Family. The first emperor favored this queen, and after her death, he personally gave her the nickname Minghui.

Emperor Wentai left a glimmer of life for Buddhism in the past, and it was also because of this Empress Minghui's belief in Buddhism.

Empress Minghui gave birth to a total of one son and two daughters to Emperor Wentai, and these children are the current Emperor Wanqi, the deceased Princess Danyang and the still living Princess Chuxing.

Emperor Wentai fell in love with Empress Minghui, and even asked Emperor Wan Qi, who was still the prince at the time, to marry a woman from the Xiang family.

Xiang Jia saw that there were about to be two queens, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

It's just that the more beautiful it is, the more it will be an eyesore. This was the case with the Bai family and the Wen family back then, and the same was true with the Xiang family.

After Emperor Wanqi ascended the throne, he was tired of the Xiang family's control over him, he didn't like his queen, and he doted on Concubine Xian, so he had a lot of quarrels with the queen. It's just that Concubine Xian is a blessed person, and the more Emperor Wan Qi dotes on her, the sooner she will die.

After the death of Concubine Xian, Emperor Wan Qi's temperament changed greatly, and he even killed the queen Xiang and named the Jiang family, who was supposed to be the concubine, as the queen mother. He made such a counterintuitive move only because Concubine Jiang was Concubine Xian's aunt.

It's just that Xiangjia is Xiangjia after all.

Emperor Wan Qi ascended the throne back then because the Xiang family was able to gain a firm foothold, and he is doing these things now, which naturally makes the Xiang family angry.

Later, I don't know what happened, Emperor Wan Qi and Xiang Jia chose to compromise at the same time. The Xiang family no longer pursued the matter of the Jiang family as the queen mother, and Emperor Wan Qi also selected another woman from the Xiang family as the queen.

And this woman is the current queen Xiao Xiang.

Xiang Xiang no longer spoke to his family, and the rest of the court chose to shut up.

The current Empress Dowager is the Jiang family, and the Jiang family is the happiness of Emperor Wanqi, so Empress Dowager Jiang's heart is naturally towards Emperor Wanqi.

Over the years, Empress Dowager Jiang has also been very tired.

In order to let Xiang family relax their vigilance against herself, she declared that she believed in Buddhism to the outside world, and she was very happy and happy like Queen Minghui back then.

Emperor Wan Qi wanted to teach Bai Congjian, who was not controlled by himself, and Empress Dowager Jiang naturally wanted to help, so she sent a message asking Bai Congjian to come to the White Horse Temple in person to take care of these lotus flowers.

After Bai Congjian came to the White Horse Temple, Emperor Wan Qi wanted to give Bai Congjian a 'birthday gift'.

At that time, Bai Congjian would personally watch the lotus flower carefully cultivated by his mother, Princess Danyang, burn into ashes in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of mood he felt in his heart.

Emperor Wan Qi was warning Bai Congjian, and he was also warning Xiang Jia, he could burn the lotus pond or take their lives.

After that, he was going to refine these elixirs.

Emperor Wan Qi didn't want anyone to stop his actions.

"Crazy?" Mu Bairan figured out this, and immediately exclaimed, "Your Majesty is really crazy." ”

Suspicious and scary.

Maybe even the Jiang family, Emperor Wan Qi didn't believe it.

Otherwise, Empress Dowager Jiang would not have kept the Eighth Prince by her side, hoping that the Eighth Prince would protect herself in the future.

"What is his purpose?" Mu Bairan gritted his teeth, "It's just a lotus pond, why is he unwilling to let it go?"

Bai Congjian said lightly, "The monks of the White Horse Temple can't even protect a lotus pond, this is a sin." ”

After the fire, Emperor Wan Qi pretended to be heartbroken, so many monks in the White Horse Temple would be implicated.

If something happens to the White Horse Temple, how can the other temples in the capital be safe?

Emperor Wan Qi's idea is indeed very good.

Mu Bairan gritted his teeth, "Master, you won't let this fire burn, right?"

"Nope. Bai Congjian replied, "I hope this fire burns as big as possible." ”
