Chapter 44: The Source of the Hidden Pavilion

Wu Zetian shook his head and said.

"Otherwise, when Di Renjie served as the secretary of Dali Temple, within a year, nearly 20,000 people involved in the case were punished, and everyone was convinced, and none of them complained about wrongs, which caused a sensation in Beijing."

"However, in my eyes, such behavior is just a capable official, not a minister."

Wu Zetian took the piece from Shangguan Wan'er's hand and patted it gently.

"And this destruction of 1,700 obscene shrines is the work of the court officials."

"I have such a minister, and my heart rejoices, so I laugh."

Shangguan Wan'er was surprised and said: "What is the truth of this, Wan'er is ignorant, and I ask the queen of heaven for advice!" ”

This obscene shrine is not a literal temple dedicated to the god of lewdness.

Rather, it refers to temples of orthodox deities that are not officially recognized.

It refers to the temples that were spontaneously formed by the people to worship all kinds of strange gods.

There are a number of spontaneous temples in various parts of the world.

There are especially many temples of various wild gods in the land of Wu Chu.

What is Xiang Yu Temple, King Tongshu, King of Chenfu, Emperor Wuxian, King of Linsi, Emperor Baihe, King of Chen, King Liu Penzi, King Lu Ma Xianggong, Emperor Douxing, etc......

The people worship whenever they want, completely out of a utilitarian nature.

These temples do not have any religious spirit and philosophy of life that guide people to goodness.

In this way, it will not only involve the issue of some gods taking advantage of the opportunity to accumulate wealth and use superstition to do evil, but also the issue of faith.

At that time, however, there were not many attempts to engage in political activities using religious beliefs.

It is not obvious, but if this kind of religious practice is allowed to flourish, it will inevitably lead to great trouble.

Back then, whether it was the Five Dou Rice Sect or the Taiping Dao, was it a big chaos that affected the whole country?

The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty advocated Taoism and Wu Zetian advocated Buddhism.

It is not because he knows the enormous power of religion and uses it.

From Wu Zetian's vision, of course, he can see how important the political significance of Di Renjie's move is.

In her opinion, Ping a few unjust cases are just a capable official, who can clean up the source and determine the king's degree.

is the ability of the court officials.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said leisurely.

"When the imperial court is employing people now, Di Gong is in Jiangnan Province, but it is a bit overkill!"

Shangguan Wan'er's heart suddenly moved when she heard this, knowing that Di Renjie was about to recover.

Di Renjie's official family, his grandfather Di Xiaoxu, Zhenguan was Shangshu Zuocheng, and his father Di Zhixun was the governor of Kui.

Di Renjie himself passed the Ming Jing examination and the first Jinshi, since he became an official, he has made outstanding political achievements and his career has been smooth sailing.

However, when Li Chong, the king of Langya, raised troops against the armed forces last year, Wu Zetian sent Prime Minister Zhang Guangfu to quell the rebellion.

Di Renjie asked Yuzhou to clean up the mess, but there was a conflict between the two.

Zhang Guangfu was proud of his achievements, and saw that Di Renjie took over a large amount of materials left by the rebels after he took office.

and demanded bribes from him.

Di Renjie did not agree, but angrily scolded Zhang Guangfu for not killing and surrendering soldiers in order to invite war exploits.

Zhang Guangfu held a grudge, and after returning to the court, he found a crime to impeach Di Renjie.

He is in a high position, as the chief assistant of the current dynasty, and has the merit of quelling the chaos, Wu Zetian had to demote Di Renjie to Jiangnan for the sake of the meritorious service.

Now it seems.

Di Renjie's move won the hearts of the queen, and he had to reuse it again.

Wu Zetian muttered to himself, of course, he didn't say it casually, but he actually told her through it.

If Di Renjie wants to return to the court, of course, he needs someone to sponsor and build momentum.

And these things need to be carried out by her to arrange suitable courtiers.

Whether Shangguan Wan'er has done well or not, whether the opposition forces in the DPRK and China are strong or weak, can the queen of heaven make further decisions.

If the opposition is too strong. She is also so calm.

Shangguan Wan'er is extremely powerful, this is a manifestation.

Even if Shangguan Wan'er is very well-behaved and does not deliberately gain power, whether she is willing to work hard when helping you operate can also determine your official position.

Once you've decided on a position, it's hard to get promoted.

Sometimes, there are people who stay in this position for the rest of their lives until they retire.

Shangguan treats the edict as if he is an internal minister.

It's for these reasons, unconsciously. She will be able to influence the government and influence the promotion and demotion of officials.

"And the saucer of the inner court came to report, this obscene temple that was exterminated by Lord Di gathered together, and the remnants of Xu Siye's rebels, they gathered together......"

At this time, someone came in to report.

"Queen of Heaven, the Lord of the White Horse Temple asks to see you!"

Wu Zetian'e raised her eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise.

"Huaiyi is here? Let him in. ”

As he spoke, he put down the piece in his hand.

Shangguan Wan'er waved her hand slightly, and the palace ladies and eunuchs waiting in the palace retreated one after another.

Shangguan Wan'er said to Wu Zetian.

"Wan'er will wait under the porch."

"Hmm!"

Wu Zetian nodded, his eyes flashed, and he saw Xue Huaiyi striding in and breaking in.

"Shangguan is waiting for the edict!"

For this close minister of the Son of Heaven, Xue Huaiyi did not dare to be rude.

He stopped and bowed to her.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Master Huaiyi! ”

Wan'er smiled, full of charm.

Xue Huaiyi didn't squint and saluted.

He took a step forward and put his hands together.

He bowed solemnly to Wu Zetian.

"The poor monk has seen the queen of heaven!"

Wan'er swayed her sleeves lightly and retreated.

Wu Zetian gently stretched his waist and reclined on the Hu bed.

He looked at him with a smile and said.

"Why did Huaiyi come here at this time?"

At this time, the freshness that Xue Huaiyi's Kong Wuli brought to Wu Zetian was no longer so strong.

Since Wu Zetian has opened this opening, there is no longer any taboo.

When Xue Huaiyi led his troops to defeat the Eastern Turks.

Empress Wu took a fancy to the imperial physician Shen Nanqi again.

This Imperial Physician Shen is elegant and elegant, and his demeanor and temperament are very different from those in the market like Xue Huaiyi.

Although it is not as powerful as Xue Huaiyi's martial arts, it has a kind of elegant Swen.

So he became Wu Zetian's new favorite.

But as Wu Zetian's first face, he has shared the bed with her for so many years.

In Wu Zetian's heart, his feelings for Xue Huaiyi are still very deep.

Xue Huaiyi's status in her heart is still the highest, and the most favored by her is still Xue Huaiyi.

This is far beyond Shen Nanyu.

Xue Huaiyi laughed, walked over and sat down on the edge of the couch.

One hand was placed on Wu Zetian's soft waist.

Gently stroked.

"The queen of heaven, Huaiyi is here to report the good news to the queen of heaven."

Wu Zetian put his cheeks on one hand and closed his eyes lazily.

Grabbing his hand and gently moving it to his chest, he exhaled comfortably.

"What's the big deal?"

"Your White Horse Temple, but what happened to it?"

Listening to her tone, I am afraid that all kinds of auspicious things appear everywhere in the world.

Either it's a chisel or a chisel attached.

Either it's a fraud.

She actually knows it all.

It was impossible to hide these things from her.

However, these things are necessary for the creation of things.

It is something that countless grass people in the world believe in.

So it doesn't matter if she believes it or not, her attitude must be serious and welcoming.

She has done too much of this kind of drama, she can't refuse, but she is inevitably tired in her heart.

Therefore, if someone else comes to him at this time, even if it is a thug on the street, and says that he has found some auspicious end, the martial queen will make a very believing and very happy appearance.

But in front of her own man, she showed her true attitude.

Xue Huaiyi smiled.

"Xiangrui? Not bad. It's auspicious! ”

"It is the biggest auspicious rui in the world, and it is even bigger than the Luoyang Divine Stone."

"Does the diva like to hear it?"

When Wu Zetian heard it, it was indeed auspicious again.

It's very boring in my heart, but I don't want to ruin my lover's interest.

It was lazy and authentic.

"Let's hear it."

Xue Huaiyi said triumphantly.

"Queen of Heaven, Huaiyi has been awarded the title of Lord of the White Horse Temple since the Queen of Heaven."

"Read the scriptures every day, and read the classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."

"I unexpectedly found that the queen of heaven is the master of the world, and the Buddha Shakyamuni has already revealed it to the world in the scriptures!"

He said.

While gently caressing Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian closed his eyes and enjoyed his caress comfortably.

He also rested his head on his lap.

But when these words came into his ears, Wu Zetian sat up suddenly.

His eyes lit up with surprise.

"Is that true?"

If you want to seek the world, of course, you need strength.

But to sit firmly in this world, strength alone is absolutely not enough.

Without people's hearts, the strength of the strength will gradually change the hosts and the hosts.

Wu Zetian now wants to sit in the world, and she has enough strength, the reason why she is not allowed to persuade people to enter.

The reason why she is still patiently waiting at such an advanced age is because she has not yet built enough momentum.

Not enough people have grasped the hearts of the people.

At this time, Xue Huaiyi actually said that he found the basis for himself to be the emperor in the Buddhist scriptures.

How can Wu Zetian not be surprised, how can he not be happy?

Xue Huaiyi saw that Wu Zetian was moved, and said proudly.

"Exactly! Huaiyi flipped through the "Great Cloud Sutra", which recorded that there was a pure light goddess who once listened to my Buddha talk about the Great Nirvana Sutra, and later gave up the heavenly body, was born as a daughter, and became a lord of the country to protect the Dharma! ”

"Since there was a celestial maiden who was reincarnated and became the lord of a country, then you can naturally be called the emperor of the queen of heaven."

Wu Zetian was first overjoyed when he heard this, thought about it carefully, and shook his head again.

Xue Huaiyi couldn't help but be apprehensive and said busily.

"What, isn't that right?"

Wu Zetian thought about it for a long time and said.

"Huaiyi, such a story is too obscure to play a role in educating the world."

Xue Huaiyi racked his brains to come up with such a good idea to compliment Empress Wu.

Hearing that Wu Zetian denied this idea, he couldn't help but be disappointed and said.

"This ...... Isn't it enough to be the proof that the queen should be the emperor? ”

Wu Zetian smiled, touched his bald head, and said softly.

"Huaiyi, you are so attentive to me, I am very happy."

"I'm not saying you can't use this story."

"I'm saying that you don't understand it right, and you don't say it clearly enough!"

Xue Huaiyi said blankly.

"The queen of heaven thought ...... So how to say it? ”

If it is to others, Wu Zetian only needs a hint and a look, and the other party can do things well, such as Shangguan Wan'er.

But for Xue Huaiyi, a rough person, she can't sell it at all, she must speak very straightforwardly, so that Xue Huaiyi can understand.

Wu Zetian said.

"Huaiyi, you think, the Tang royal family believes in Taoism, and among the three religions, Taoism is the first."

"I believe in Buddhism, and it is since I came to power that Buddhism has been able to raise its eyebrows and faintly override Taoism."

"You say, is this just guarding the Fa-rectification?"

Xue Huaiyi pondered.
