All four hundred and six chapters Xuangong Master

Suppose that the situation at that time was not so smooth, if Xiao Fuzi really died at the hands of the six edicts, then what serious consequences would have happened?

First of all, with the support of Chengjianxi, the six edicts will quickly stabilize, and then if Li Zhen expected, the stabilized six edicts will definitely follow Chengjianxi's preparations and attack the transportation line from Nanyang to Tianzhu - don't think that the six edicts will not listen to them, not to mention that the six leaders are puppets supported by Chengjianxi, just say that the six edicts have occupied the six southwestern states of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and also killed the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty, they have offended the Tang Dynasty to death, once the Tang Dynasty eases up, How can the six edicts stop Datang's crazy counterattack?

So if they don't want to die, they can only let Datang die, and in the current situation, as long as Datang's transportation line to Tianzhu is cut off, then Datang is really a dead end.

Because once there is a problem with the transportation line, coupled with the rebellion of Hou Junji in Nanyang, Nanyang will not be able to open up a second road for a while, then the 250,000 troops fighting in Tianzhu will fall into the point of running out of ammunition and food - it is not impossible to transport from the sea, in fact, the transportation of materials has always been parallel by sea and land. The problem is that the materials of Datang to support Tianzhu are concentrated in Nanyang, of which the sea materials are placed in Fuchun Port, which is less than two hundred miles away from Hou Junji's lair. If the land route is cut off again at this time, the supply of Tianzhu's hundreds of thousands of troops will really be over.

In such a situation, as long as the Nantianzhu Alliance comes to make an impact, the 250,000 army will have to be at least 100,000 or more - then things will be fun, Li Zhen will definitely be responsible for this matter, his reputation is completely stinky, and the brothers who stayed in Chang'an will be active again, maybe his position as the crown prince will be lost. Combined with the economic crisis that has begun to emerge in the Tang Dynasty, perhaps the entire empire will collapse.

In fact, Nan Tianzhu did exactly that, and they almost succeeded, but they didn't expect that Datang would actually shoot down a cavalry from the Tubo Plateau, because they missed this move, so it was a failure, so that Datang reacted again and stabilized the front again, plus the six edicts fell into chaos again, the land logistics supply line was opened up again, and the morale of the Tang army was restored, and they lost this only opportunity.

So in a way, Xiao Fuzi's actions are equivalent to saving the Tang Empire, and this kind of credit is even greater than Wang Xuance's one-person destruction of a country.

Seeing that Xiao Fuzi was still trembling, Li Zhen said again: "Besides, what you did well this time is really good, if it weren't for your identity, just by virtue of your merits, this palace would have to be like Wang Xuance to ask your father for a governor to be in charge." ”

Xiaofuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, he has been by Li Zhen's side all the year round, and it can be said that he knows him better than Li Zhen himself, and knows that he can say such things, which proves that Li Zhen really didn't take this matter to heart.

"Huh...... The slave doesn't want to be a governor, the slave just wants to serve by His Highness's side for the rest of his life. ”

"Don't talk about that." Li Zhen did not pursue too much in this matter, but continued to walk forward - don't look at the previous experience so much, in fact, it is only a short two-step effort in the outside world, although the monk of Yuntian Temple said that he blocked the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, it is actually located in the square outside Wuzhuang Temple, and there is no real kind of blocking in front of the door to prevent people from passing.

There are only three hundred monks in Yuntian Temple, this time it can be said that there are old and young, the youngest is only more than ten years old, the oldest is the old man sitting in the front, the white eyebrows have covered the eyelids, the face is full of wrinkles, the lips and cheeks are deeply sunken, obviously because there is no tooth support - to put it mildly, this is an old monk who does not have a few days to live.

Although the appearance is ordinary, Li Zhen does not dare to slack off on this person, because this old man is Master Xuangong, in the Lingnan Buddhist world, both in terms of generation and status, and his prestige is even higher, and in the hearts of ordinary people, he is simply a reincarnated living Buddha, such a person even Li Zhen has to endure three points.

"I've seen Master Xuangong, Master, you are old and old, why do you want to get involved in this matter? It's not a good trip to the muddy waters. Li Zhen's courtesy was very thoughtful, but his tone was very unkind, this incident disrupted his plan after all, although he would take this step after all, but the lack of intermediate links made him delay a lot of time.

"Amitabha, the poor monk is forced to do so, please forgive your Highness." Master Xuangong finally opened his eyes, only to see that his eyes were cloudy and blank, and his vitality had almost dissipated, which showed that this time the rush had really completely cut off his vitality, and he didn't need to be checked by a doctor at all, Li Zhen could see that he was already in a state of exhaustion of oil and lamp, and now he could live with a breath in his heart, if this breath in his heart dissipated, then he would really die completely.

"The poor monk is unwell and can't get up to salute, so I ask His Highness to forgive his sins." He is not a person who does not know what to do, on the contrary, monks like him generally understand the etiquette in great detail, and cultivate the humility and forbearance of Buddhism to the extreme - the reason why Li Zhen does not like Buddhism is because there are too many fake monks in Buddhism, full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, there are male thieves and female prostitutes behind the scenes, if the monks all over the world are like people like Master Xuangong or Master Xuanzang, Li Zhen will not only not ban Buddhism, but will also take the initiative to promote Buddhism...... Well, of course, the premise is that the monks must get married, otherwise no matter how good Buddhism is, if the whole world goes to be a monk, then the human race will really become extinct.

"......" This old man is a little interesting.

This is Li Zhen's first impression, others will never say it so blatantly even if they have to, after all, the person who can make him have no choice but to have a status absolutely above, since such a person has already listened to his orders, of course you have to do things for him wholeheartedly, where will you directly tell others about your hardships?

However, Master Xuangong is different, except that he is high enough to give no one face, even if he comes to besiege the palace this time, the main reason is for the Buddha's tooth relic, not to listen to some people's orders. Another reason is that Master Xuangong has little time, and he may not be able to go back this time, he can be regarded as dying for the affairs of Buddhism, and those high-level people of Buddhism will never be blamed for this incident, on the contrary, they may also be guilty of guilt, and more benefits to Yuntian Temple may not be necessarily.

"Since it's a last resort, why do the mages have to come?"

Master Xuangong took a few breaths, it can be seen that just a few words have consumed a lot of his energy, with the help of the two little monks, he finally took this breath evenly, and then continued to whisper: "It is because I have to come because I have to." ”

Without waiting for Li Zhen to speak, Master Xuangong said again: "Your Highness, if you don't want to make a big fuss, please respond quickly, the poor monks are just the vanguard, and there will be more Buddhas coming to meet in the back." ”

Master Xuangong's words were not threatening Li Zhen, but sincerely reminding him - Master Xuangong is good-tempered, and he is only here for the Buddha's tooth relics, but if those monks come, and even after forming a certain general trend, will they be insatiable and ask for something else, then it is difficult to say.

Li Zhen stood up: "Okay, this palace knows what the mage means." Originally, according to his father's intentions, the Buddha's tooth relic is a treasure, and he planned to enshrine it in the palace, but since you have come forward, the old master, this palace can't help but give you this face. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, the poor monk is grateful." Master Xuangong didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he smiled, and was about to dissipate the breath in his heart, but Li Zhen's next sentence made him bring up that breath again.

"It's just that there are thousands of temples in the world, but there is only one Buddha tooth relic—since this matter is the main palace that you persuaded the old master, I don't know which temple the old master thinks this Buddha tooth relic should be enshrined in?"

"This ......" Master Xuangong was just stunned, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "The poor monk knows that this matter is not so simple......

Of course, things are not so simple, as I said before, there are many Buddhist sects, and there are eight sects of Mahayana Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty alone, which are still big sects (in fact, there are far more than eight Buddhist sects in the Tang Dynasty, but they have long been unexaminable, and now according to the later generations), there are also some small sects that are not included, in addition to the Hinayana sects are not mentioned.

There are so many sects, which are all disciples of the Buddha, of course they want to protect the Buddha's tooth relic, but the major sects are not the same heart, and even different temples of the same sect have their own minds, no matter which one gets the Buddha's tooth relic, it will be attacked by the rest of the sects and the rest of the temples, if the imperial court provokes it again, the consequences will ...... It is likely to cause chaos in the Buddha world.

Li Zhen saw Master Xuangong's worries, and said with a smile: "Old Master, don't worry, this palace has not done so much, not to mention that the chaos in the Buddhist realm is not good for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Are you kidding? The next Buddha realm must not be chaotic, Datang has just crossed the critical point, if Buddhism is in turmoil at this time, it will definitely give Datang who has just recovered a breath of vitality a hard blow, and no one knows what the consequences will be when the time comes, but it is absolutely not good for Datang, this is certain.

"The poor monk is even more worried, but ...... It has nothing to do with the poor monk anymore...... Amitabha, good and good......"

Master Xuangong smiled bitterly, the breath that he had just barely lifted in his heart was finally completely cut off, he slowly closed his eyes, and then lowered his head.
