Xuanzang is a leading figure in contemporary Buddhism, since Tianzhu returned from the scriptures, his reputation in Zen Buddhism is even more prosperous, so that in Buddhism can almost respond to the figure, Li Zhi will not let go easily.

"I remember that there seems to be a Zongshan Temple in Taiyuan, and it just so happens that there is still a lack of an abbot master, so if the master goes to Taiyuan, he might as well live in the Zongshan Temple for a while."

Without waiting for Xuanzang to refuse, Li Zhi's words changed, and even Xuanzang's place of residence after arriving in Taiyuan was determined, as for whether Zongshan Temple really lacks an abbot, it doesn't matter anymore, Li Zhi's words go down, the abbot of Zongshan Temple is not lacking.

"This ......" Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, then bent over to agree, "In this way, thank you to the emperor!" ”

"I also hope that Master Xuanzang can recover as soon as possible, this Temple of Mercy and Grace is indispensable for Master Xuanzang to sit here......"

The two of them walked along the bluestone path on the ground, saying that the monks and guards around them had avoided it early, after all, today's matter was a matter of confidentiality, and the less people knew about it before the sacrifice of the eldest grandson, Empress Shotoku, the better.

"Huh?" As he walked, Li Zhi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but look at the courtyard gate in front of him, where a familiar figure was bowing and waiting.

"Isn't that Tian Yuan, why did he come back and find here?"

Recognizing the identity of the person who came, Li Zhi couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, if the watermelon from Taiyuan was transported back, it should be Li Siwen who came to report, although Tian Yuan was a guard, but it was not his turn to report to the next level.

And before coming to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, Li Zhi had already instructed that he should not be disturbed if he had to do something, how did this Tian Yuan come in? Didn't they encounter something in Taiyuan?

Raising his hand and beckoning to Tian Yuan, who was not far away, he called him closer, and Li Zhi asked softly, "When did you come back?" What about Li Siwen, why didn't he come to see me? ”

"Back to the emperor," Tian Yuan replied respectfully: "My subordinates just rushed back, and I heard that the emperor rushed over directly in Ci'en Temple. As for Commander Li, he is still in Taiyuan and is expected to return in three to five days. ”

Li Zhi's eyebrows furrowed and he asked, "Then why did you come back early?" I was in such a hurry to see me, but what happened? ”

"Tang Gongzi was assassinated in the mansion, and his subordinates rushed back to report to the emperor on the order of Commander Li!"

"Tang Xiu was assassinated?!" Li Zhi and Xuanzang's brows were both furrowed, "How is Tang Xiu now, can he be injured?" ”

Tian Yuan replied: "My left arm was shot by a hidden arrow and I was slightly injured, and my subordinates were fine before they came back. ”

Li Zhi's face softened slightly, and he nodded: "Also, I am a little concerned about it, Tang Xiu himself is very good, and the Tang Mansion is even safer than my palace, how can there be anything?" ”

"However," Li Zhi turned his head to look at Tian Yuan again, "If that's the case, it doesn't seem like there's any need for you to make a special trip back, is there anything else hidden in this?" ”

"This ......" Tian Yuan opened his mouth to speak, but after turning his head to look at Master Xuanzang, he lowered his head and closed his mouth.

"It doesn't matter." Understanding what Tian Yuan meant, Li Zhi shook his head lightly and said lightly: "Master Xuanzang is not an outsider, and there is no need to shy away from what people say, but it doesn't hurt for you to talk about it!" ”

Usually at this time, Xuanzang will take the initiative to avoid it, but this time because it is related to Tang Xiu and whether his future treatment in Taiyuan can be smooth, so after beating the Buddha trumpet, Xuanzang still has no intention of leaving to avoid.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Before Xuanzang left, Li Zhi said something that did not need to be avoided, and Tian Yuan spoke again: "Because the identity of the assassin needs to be investigated." ”

"The sleeve arrows worn by the assassins are still military, and they are ......" Tian Yuan looked up at Li Zhi cautiously, and continued: "Moreover, the arrows of the sleeve arrows are also smeared with the poison of soul-breaking incense, because the matter is so important, Commander Li does not dare to draw conclusions lightly, so he ordered his subordinates to bring the assassin's body and those evidence back to ask the emperor for instructions!" ”

"Soul Breaking Incense?!"

Li Zhi was shocked in his heart, and then his brows began to wrinkle deeply.

Soul Breaking Incense is a forbidden medicine, because there is no antidote, even Li Zhi, the emperor, does not dare to order it to be used easily, because it has been used very little over the years, so there is no new medicine prepared, only a little remains in the treasury of the Praetorian Guard, how can there be remnants of wandering?

Was it deliberately stolen, or was the recipe leaked and obtained?

If it's the former, it's okay to say, as long as the thief is found out and strictly guarded in the future, but if it's the latter, doesn't that mean that the soul-breaking incense may be used on a large scale?

"Your Majesty, what ......is this soul-breaking incense?" Xuanzang asked softly, looking at Li Zhi's expression, this kind of ** called Soul Breaking Incense seems unusual.

Li Zhi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "It's a secret poison for the Praetorian Guards, and you will die if you hit it, and there is no antidote." ”

"No cure?" Xuanzang said: "Then Tang Jushi is ......"

Tian Yuanfang just said that Tang Xiu was hit by the Hidden Arrow, doesn't that mean that he was also poisoned by this soul-breaking incense?

Seeing that the emperor and Master Xuanzang all looked at him, while sighing in his heart that Tang Xiu was able to arouse the concern of the two big people in front of him, he replied softly: "It is said that Tang Gongzi's grandfather seems to have found a way to suppress the poison of the Soul Breaking Incense in his old age, so Tang Gongzi was temporarily spared, and finally succeeded in expelling the poison." When his subordinates came back, Tang Gongzi was indeed fine. ”

"It turned out to be Wangchuan Gong, so it's no wonder."

Li Zhi and Xuanzang nodded at the same time, Tang Wangchuan's reputation in Chang'an was not ordinarily loud back then, and it seemed that it was not difficult to understand that he could develop a method for suppressing the soul breaking incense. Xuanzang didn't know much about the joints, but Li Zhi knew that this soul-breaking incense was from Tang Wangchuan's handwriting, and it was reasonable that he could find a way to suppress the poison of soul-breaking.

"However," Li Zhi's face suddenly sank, and he said angrily: "Someone dares to violate the ban and use the Soul Breaking Incense without permission, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" ”

"Xiao Lao!"

"The subordinates are here!"

Hearing Li Zhi's call, Xiao Lao appeared in front of Li Zhi in a flash and stood with his bow.

"You are personally responsible for this matter!" Li Zhi said sharply: "No matter who it is, check it to the end, don't have any scruples!" ”

The loss of the soul breaking incense is not trivial, no matter what the situation is, it indicates the extraordinary means of the people behind the scenes, if it is not strictly investigated, and a definite result is not found, Li Zhi is afraid that he will not even sleep peacefully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiao Lao resolutely accepted the order.

"Tian Yuan," Li Zhi turned his head to look at Tian Yuan again, and then ordered: "You go to Taiyuan City again quickly, and see if you can get the suppression method of Soul Breaking Incense from Tang Xiu's hands." If he can, he will get it no matter how much it costs, and if he can't, make sure he doesn't show it to others. ”

"This ......" Tian Yuan's face turned pale, and he responded bitterly: "Yes, the emperor, my subordinates do their best......"
