Chapter 1477: The Conspiracy Emerges
Three months is much stronger than three years, and the heavenly scale in His Majesty Li Er's heart suddenly came to the side of the Buddha Gate, and said, "Okay, then I will wait for you for three months!" Right Protector Mage, as long as you can grow into an immortal pill, I will definitely reward you! ”
"Amitabha, the poor monk is a person outside the party, and he doesn't ask for a reward! But I beg your majesty one thing! ”
"What's the matter?"
"Recently, there have been some fallacies and heresies circulating in the capital. What "Journey to the West", what "Buddha is the Tao". These variations are all nonsense and slander my Dharma. Even if the poor monk can endure it, the Buddha can't bear it! When the time comes, I am afraid that it will hinder His Majesty's alchemy plan! ”
Guo Ye sneered: "According to what you say, the immortality pill has been refined, and it is all the credit of you, the great monk!" If you can't practice it, it's because of these fallacies and heresies! I said, how can you be sure of the March alchemy, it turns out that you have this backhand! Your Majesty, this old monk has what he said, but he is blocked at both ends! Don't take it for granted! ”
The great monk Xuanzang finally played his role and said: "Amitabha, the monks don't speak, Master Luo Erpo, please be cautious!" ”
His Majesty Li Er said: "Master Luo Ersuopo, if "Buddha is the Way" still has some disrespectful meaning to Buddhism, but "Journey to the West" is very respectful to the Buddha, you say that the Buddha will be angry, why can't I figure it out?" ”
Luo Ersa shook her head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, although "Journey to the West" has some praise for the Buddha, but it is all nonsense. It can't be fake, what can't be true, how different are these hypocritical boasts from slander? How can I be happy when I hear this? ”
Guo Ye said: "Great monk, don't come to those false ones, I'll ask you a word, if Your Majesty really issued a holy decree to ban these two texts, can your immortal pill really be refined within three months?" Don't make any excuses to deny it when the time comes! ”
"Amitabha, what the poor monk said is from the bottom of his heart, and every sentence is true!"
His Majesty Li Er hesitated and said, "Master Luo Suopo, because of the two changes, will I make a little too much of a fuss about the next holy decree?" If you want to think about the effect of this holy decree, then my middle decree will not work, and you will have to have a formal holy decree. This reason for seeking longevity...... I'm afraid it will be refuted by the Ministry of Disciples! ”
Luo Er said: "The poor monk is an outsider, and the affairs of the court cannot be ignored." Please also ask Your Majesty to judge! After finishing speaking, the old monk closed his eyes, stopped talking, and hung His Majesty Li Er there!
Under the temptation of immortality, His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and moved: "Okay! As the Protector said! ”
Ten birds in the forest are better than one bird in hand. Since there is hope for immortality within three months, His Majesty Li Er has no interest in Xuanzang and Guo Ye, and after asking a few words, he sent the two out!
Guo Ye thought of a clever plan, but before he could show it, it was a failure!
He had never suffered such a big loss, and when he returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but look depressed.
Xuanzang did not return to the temple, but went back to the Qin State Mansion with him. Seeing Guo Ye like this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "Brother Guo, why are you so sad?" ”
"Alas! Does this need to be asked? Today, our brothers can be regarded as defeated by Luo Ersapo! Not only did it not let Luo Ersa fall out of favor, but our text change was banned by His Majesty! This is completely stealing chickens and not losing a handful of rice! I kind of know why Zhou Yu was angry with Zhuge Liang, this taste is really uncomfortable! ”
"Zhou Yu was angry with Zhuge Liang? How come the poor monk has never heard of it? Where is it found? ”
"Uh......" Guo Ye then remembered that in the Tang Dynasty, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had not yet appeared, and this story naturally had not been passed on!
"That's not important," he said. The point is that we have suffered a big loss today! ”
Xuanzang shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't see it that way, why do I think we have taken a big advantage this time?" ”
"Yo, I don't see it, you're quite comforting. However, it is useless for you to say that, losing is losing, and winning is winning. I, Guo Ye, am willing to gamble and lose, and I can afford to win and lose! ”
"The poor monk is not comforting you, but he really thinks so in his heart. Brother Guo, you are also a fan of the authorities, and if you jump out of the game, it is not difficult to come to the same conclusion as the poor monk! ”
Guo Ye's eyes lit up and said, "Since you say so, then I really have to listen to it!" ”
"The poor monk asked you, what did we suffer this time?"
"The text changes we worked so hard to make will be banned by His Majesty, this loss is not big enough?"
"Then the poor monk asks you again, do you say that there is anyone in Chang'an City who has not heard of these two texts?"
"I'm afraid it's not much!"
"That's it, since everyone knows it, then Your Majesty can't help it, what's the difference?"
"That'...... And outside Chang'an City? ”
"Don't forget, Duke Qin, in order to ban these two texts, the conditions put forward by Luo Er Suo Po are to refine the elixir of immortality within three months. If the alchemy fails within three months, Your Majesty will naturally not ban our text change again! After three months, if we refine the elixir of immortality, you say that our text change ban will never be stopped, is there any point? ”
Guo Ye nodded and said, "That makes sense!" But you say that we have taken a big advantage, what do you say? ”
"The old monk has been refining Dan for more than a year, and he has always been vague about the time of Dancheng. Now he suddenly set the Dancheng time within three months. What does this mean? It shows that your text has forced him to retreat, and this is his desperate fight! Hmph, within three months, see what he does! ”
Guo Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said, "Maybe he doesn't have to explain at all?" ”
"You mean the old monk is going to run away?"
Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "He got a lot of money from His Majesty, if he wants to go, he can leave at any time, why does he propose the March Covenant again?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"I'm afraid that after three months, Your Majesty will no longer be able to trouble him!"
Xuanzang was taken aback by Guo Ye's inference and said, "You mean, he ...... He wants to kill the king? This...... How is this possible? If he committed such a big crime, would he still be able to live? ”
Guo Yedao: "I think Your Majesty killed the prince at the beginning, and now he is still the emperor!" ”
"This ...... How can this be the same? ”
"It's different, but it's pretty much the same. This old monk is not that simple! Thinking that His Majesty had canonized a monk who claimed to understand the art of immortality as the Right Protector Mage, no one in the court objected! Isn't that ridiculous, you say? ”
Monk Xuanzang was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said, "You mean to say that the courtiers are all in collusion with Luo Ersa Po!" No way! No way! ”
"Of course, it is impossible to collude with all of them, but they are all influenced by the forces behind Luo Ersa Po, and it is very possible. They thought it was harmless for them to do it, but they didn't expect it to be part of a huge conspiracy! ”
"This ...... It's all your guess! Although the poor monk couldn't find anything wrong, he still couldn't believe it! ”
Guo Ye sighed and said, "I don't want to believe that this thing is true. I also hope that Luo Er Suo is a simple liar! To be the enemy of such a big force, I, Guo Ye, am not willing to do so. But...... The next thing is to verify whether my guess is true or not! ”
"What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty's decree prohibiting the two changes has no basis in the law, you can see if it can be promulgated smoothly. In the imperial court, there are seven or eight ministers who have the power to refute, look at what they say! ”
As Guo Ye expected, His Majesty Li Er's holy decree was promulgated unusually smoothly, and those important ministers once again remained silent!
Guo Ye was so frightened that there was a chill in his spine, and ordered Lijingmen to strictly investigate Luo Ersuo's past, and at the same time secretly ordered Lijingmen to strengthen the monitoring of hundreds of officials in the imperial court. However, this operation did not go smoothly and was obstructed intentionally or unintentionally by bad people!
Could it be that Zhang Liang was also involved in this conspiracy, how much did he know?
