0060 Only hope for life, not for death
At this moment of nonsense with Xue Huaiyi, Li Tong also weighed a lot in his heart.
The first thing he needs to be sure of is one thing, it doesn't matter what kind of character Xue Huaiyi is, this monk himself can't talk about any independent personality, just a vassal of Wu Zetian.
In other words, Li Tong didn't expect to be able to fool Xue Huaiyi and seek any benefits at all. Especially at this stage, Xue Huaiyi is equivalent to Wu Zetian to a certain extent.
For example, for now, although it is not yet certain, the reason why Xue Huaiyi came to Renzhi Yuan is most likely to avoid Princess Taiping's call for help. The Xue family is not unkind to this godfather who was born as a wild medicine dealer, and what else should you do if you write your name on the family tree?
As a result, he really encountered difficulties and wanted to help, and Xue Huaiyi didn't dare to let go of one. If you really want to exceed Wu Zetian's wishes, this guy can't count on it.
Although he had a big brain, he was worried that he would be cleaned up by the ancestors of the Li family when he arrived in Huangquan after his death, but Li Tong didn't want to use this to play with him.
Not to mention that this is originally a very boring inner drama, taking a step back, the county official is not as good as the current management, at least before he dies, he still has to beg for a living in front of Wu Zetian. Li Tong really dared to do that, the old boy's mouth was loosened and his grandmother knew, maybe Li Tong rushed to Huangquan to deepen his relationship with his ancestors.
But this matter can't be said to be completely meaningless, at least with Xue Huaiyi's relationship, the distance between him and Wu Zetian to dialogue has been unprecedentedly shortened. What needs to be considered now is to coax Xue Huaiyi first and maintain this level of relationship. What can be done based on this has to be tested continuously.
"I'm short-toothed, but I'm also endangered. Those who can tell Master Xue are nothing more than the vulgar talk of the sick man, who only wants to live, not death, longevity, and the great desire of people, and there is nothing else to ask for. ”
When Xue Huaiyi heard this, he pouted and laughed again: "It's just a mediocre gossip, why do you need to come to me." Immortality is a great joy for the living, how many people can achieve it? Think too much, useless behind you. ”
"Dare to argue a little, what Master Xue said about immortality is still different from what Shouyi said after all. Master Xue is rich in spring and autumn, full of glory, strong physique, there is no danger of pinching his fingers and waiting to die, and even thinking about immortality is nothing more than an idle story. ”
Li Tong sighed and felt self-pity: "As for Shouyi, it is different from Master Xue, the body that has been sick for a long time, the delicate quality, the wind is strong, and the wind is strong, and the labor for a long time is injured." Born in me, I am a driftwood for the drowning, Ganlin for the thirsty, looking forward to this, and I am not idle to talk about death. ”
What do you want me to say, you elm pimple? You don't feel deep when you're young and strong, and someone needs it urgently! Go to alchemy, offer medicine, and feed your old concubine to death.
However, this idea is only a good wish in the bottom of my heart. Although Wu Zetian worshiped Buddha in the early days, when he really completed the revolution and gradually consolidated his power, his position was different, and his ideas and practices naturally changed.
For example, the monks are now summoned and Xue Huaiyi is asked to preside over the revision of "The Great Cloud Sutra Divine Emperor Conferring Righteous Notes". However, in the year of the Holy Calendar in 699, he created the Crane Prison and ordered the two Zhang brothers to organize the scholars to revise the "Three Teachings and Zhuying", so that the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism could be integrated.
No way, it's okay for monks to chant sutras and eat fasting. But to govern the world, we need to use scholars, and we need to rely on Taoist priests for longevity. No matter how well you recite the Buddhist scriptures, you can cultivate the good retribution in the next life, it is not as good as my alchemy and health, and the imperial power will be consolidated for a long time.
Therefore, in the later period of Wu Zhou, Wu Zetian was taking pills, and it is not even ruled out that she is taking pills now, after all, she is old and it is common for people to eat some health products. But this elixir didn't seem to be very toxic, and it still allowed her to live to the year of the Divine Dragon.
Li Tong said this, and also had the intention of encouraging Xue Huaiyi to increase his efforts to offer Dan, but even if Xue Huaiyi didn't listen, he didn't care.
In particular, I want to warn this old boy not to talk about Huangquan and Difu every day, for fear of being retaliated against by the ancestors of the Li family after death. The main reason is that naturally he still doesn't want Xue Huaiyi to entangle him with these topics anymore.
After Xue Huaiyi heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but then he stretched out. He is not a person with a clear mind, even if he is a little dexterous, Tai Ban has to use it to deal with women, and he will not ponder Li Tong's words in one turn and three turns.
And Li Tong was jealous of Wu Zetian behind Xue Huaiyi, many meanings could not be expressed too straightforwardly, and when they communicated with each other, they were naturally inefficient.
The atmosphere was dull for a moment, Xue Huaiyi stood up from the seat, shook the purple and red wide monk's robe and paced to the door, as if he was planning to leave, but seeing that the sun was still high, his face hesitated slightly.
Li Tong guessed correctly, Xue Huaiyi came to Renzhi Courtyard today, indeed to avoid the entanglement of Princess Taiping.
Xue Huaiyi did not doubt him, so he followed the eunuch to the forbidden place, but the eunuch passed through the Xianju courtyard and did not enter, which immediately alerted him, and only after questioning did he know that it was Princess Taiping's fake god emperor token to see him.
Godnephew Xue Shao suffered, Xue Huaiyi naturally knew about it, and even this case was supervised by his godson Suo Yuanli, so he naturally knew the depth of the water. Xue Huaiyi would not be stupid to see Princess Taiping, so he simply turned around halfway and rushed into the Renzhi Courtyard.
When I arrived at Renzhiin, I remembered the rumors that King Yongan had come back from the dead. Xue Huaiyi is very interested in this, and in addition to hunting for curiosity, he is naturally also worried, after all, in addition to supervising the construction of the Ming Hall, he was also ordered to edit the "Great Cloud Sutra Yishu", even if he does not understand Buddhism, he occasionally turns around to take a look, and listens to those monks talking about the reincarnation of life and death, and his heart is more or less panicked.
However, this King of Yong'an didn't know how to lift, and his speech was too unpleasant, and he failed to live up to the word "righteousness" in his name, which naturally disappointed Xue Huaiyi.
Seeing that Xue Huaiyi seemed to have the intention of leaving, Li Guangshun couldn't hold back a little, and stepped forward to salute: "I take the liberty of asking Master Xue, the Empress Dowager has issued an edict to build Ci Wutai, and I don't know how the fortifications are prepared?" ”
After Xue Huaiyi heard this, his brows furrowed, and he replied casually: "Mingtang is a great gift of the country, and heaven is about to be built again. The king is a famous and noble race, and he is still so ignorant? ”
Hearing this answer, not only Li Guangshun's face was full of disappointment, but even Li Shouli looked anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to argue, but was stopped by Li Tong with his hand.
He knew that Wu Zetian had an indifferent attitude towards their family, and he was not surprised by Xue Huaiyi's answer.
"Master Xue, slow down, please move a little, yes, this is it."
Li Tongxing stepped forward and pushed Xue Huaiyi, asking him to stand back to the area where the sunlight was shining into the hall, and then he felt that his eyes flashed, and the gorgeous monk's clothes and shiny skull were really shining in the sun.
Xue Huaiyi looked at Li Tong with some suspicion, and saw that he was just looking at his head in a daze, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable: "What does King Yong'an want?" ”
"Keeping righteousness and enjoying health, good Xuanyi, and also shallow in the method of looking at qi. Xue Shiyin Hall, the red light gathers in the dark, or the red light, or the fierce light, and he doesn't dare to say anything. ”
Li Tong took a small step back and spoke. Can it not be red, not to mention the contrast of the purple and red monk's robes, the old boy wiped his head with the palm of his hand no less than a dozen times in Xiguang.
If people are lucky, no matter how big the problem is, it is not a sin, they are unlucky, and it is heinous to take a breath.
In the early years, there was a genius Fu Youyi, enthusiastic support, within a year from a county master book to Luantai Shilang and worship the prime minister, within a year of green vermilion, number for the four times Shi Eun. But in the second year of Tianzhu after the Wuzhou Revolution, Fu Youyi dreamed of ascending the Zhanlu Hall and died of treason.
According to the momentum of this old gentleman's soaring sky, don't say that Mengdeng Zhanlu Palace, what about Mengqi Wu Zetian? The monk sleeps, I can't sleep? It's nothing more than imminent fulfillment, Wu Zetian himself is also out of balance, and he feels ashamed to look back after the indiscriminate reward, so he just uses an excuse to cook.
Li Tong was lucky or unlucky, and naturally it was only in Wu Zetian's thoughts.
If even such an ambiguous can make Wu Zetian's liver angry, he doesn't have to bother with any operations, wash up and wait for Qiu Shenyun to collect his head, and by the way, frame his fourth uncle Li Dan. The degree of activity he has so far has also been tested little by little by the front arch.
But when Xue Huaiyi heard this, he immediately became alert. In the final analysis, he still regards King Yong'an as a strange person who can penetrate the mysteries, otherwise he would not have grabbed the other party and asked endless questions as soon as they met.
What's more, he had flipped through the books about King Yong'an stored in the Internal Department, and knew the origin of the poem "Ciwu Poem". Even the Divine Emperor was convinced of this, and showed the important ministers of Taiwan Province all over the province. Xue Huaiyi didn't believe it either, but he would never doubt the God Emperor, and the God Emperor did this, which shows that King Yong'an is indeed extraordinary.
Moreover, no matter how big his nerves were, it was not easy for him to ask the God Emperor about this confusion.
Because of this, when he heard King Yong'an say this, he was more or less apprehensive in his heart, and the arrogant posture that had just been revealed suddenly retracted, pulled Li Tong and lowered his head in front of him, and said: "Wang take a closer look, is it Hongguang or fierce light?" ”
"I'm only scratching the surface, and I don't dare to believe in myself, let alone boast of fraud and invite favors. It is expected that Master Xue's grace is deep, and it should be more Hongguang. But I still suggest that Master Xue can visit the moral master, and what he sees and says is naturally more credible than mine. ”
Previously, Li Tong's words were secretive, and Xue Huaiyi was too lazy to ponder, but now that it is related to himself, he vaguely understands it. Without him, when he was selling wild medicine in the wilderness, this kind of rhetoric was not unfamiliar, ambiguous, let you taste it.
He himself is naturally foolish, but whether King Yong'an is or not, he is really not sure. But Xue Huaiyi also decided that he must find some moral mystics to look at him for a while and divinate the momentum.
Li Tong couldn't get a glimpse of Xue Huaiyi's heart, but he could guess that what he wanted was that you were suspicious. When you go to visit other people, it is nothing more than sycophancy, and even if you do some prayers, it will only extort your goods.
But only I can say that you have the misfortune of blood and light of swords: who would have thought that such a straw bag general would really be able to lead a large army on an expedition one day?
Next year, the Turks will invade the side, whether it is an accidental event is difficult to say. But even if Wu Zetian already has the idea of solving the general's problem now, he is expected to tell Xue Huaiyi more than half a year in advance, and it is really difficult for this big mouth to keep secrets.
Otherwise, one day Dao Zuo met Zhang Guangfu, and they stared at each other, maybe the blood surged and pointed at each other and scolded: Old boy, be careful, I will kill you in a few months!
