Daochang Liu and Daochang Deng comforted Zhao Guizhen and said: "Daochang, we can delay for a while, and the Holy Lord is really urging him tightly, so we will temporarily deal with it with the method of 'five stone scattering'." ”

Zhao Guizhen said unhappily: "If the saint is so easy to fool, he is not a saint." The saint is shrewd and heroic, and it is not something that we can easily prevaricate. ”

Wu Zong often called Zhao Guizhen over, discussed with him in Zen, and asked about the progress of refining pills by the way.

Every time Zhao Guizhen met the saint, he was weak and short of breath and sweaty. His embarrassment was known only to him and the two Dao Masters beside him. What outsiders see is Wu Zong's reliance on Zhao Daochang.

Zhao Daochang can often accompany Wuzong's side, and the monarchs and ministers talk harmoniously. Zhao Daochang was a close minister of Wuzong's side.

People with a heart see it in their eyes, and make friends with Daochang Zhao to build their own promotion path, which has become a shortcut in the eyes of people with a heart.

Cui Shen and Du Yi went to Zhongshutang to find Prime Minister Li Deyu. Li Xiang treated him courteously, "Lord Cui, Lord Du, please take a seat." ”

The official poured tea for the three adults and withdrew. Du Yi and Li Deyu are above the court, because they have great differences on whether to fight Zhaoyi Town or not, and they often fight-for-tat.

There are some issues on which the two disagree, but both are motivated by public intentions. It does not affect the personal relationship between the two.

Cui Shen also can't tolerate sand in his eyes, jealousy and hatred, and often takes Li Deyu as a benchmark in his heart.

Du Yi frowned, "Pavilion Elder, the two of us have something to discuss with Pavilion Elder. ”

Li Deyu picked out a few copies of the copywriting at hand and pushed them to them, "Look at it, this matter has a big reaction." ”

The copy is all about the frequent reports of Taoist priests and official interactions. Cui Shen looked at it and said angrily; "Elder Ge, Master Du and I are here for this. Taoist priests are good at demagoguery. ”

Du Yi echoed; "If Lao Zhuangzhi said it, he would not participate in political affairs. He has long lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests to cultivate his self-cultivation. But look at the so-called Taoist leaders in the palace, who are more laymen than laymen. ”

"The old man is also worried about this matter, and the Holy One is diligent in government affairs, wise and decisive. But a lie is told a hundred times to become the truth, if the demon road is allowed to run rampant in the palace, nonsense is supplied. The old man was worried that the saint would be bewitched by the demon way. ”

Du Yi is worried: "I am not only worried about this. I am worried that the lessons of Emperor Xianzong will be repeated. ”

Cui Shen: "What Lord Du is worried about is exactly what our ministers are worried about. I heard that the Holy Lord asked several Taoist priests to hurry up and refine the elixir. Where in the world is the art of immortality? It can be seen that the demon path bewitches the saint, so that the saint cannot distinguish right from wrong in this matter. ”

Li Deyu said in a deep voice: "As a courtier, I will try my best to persuade the Holy Lord to stay away from traitors, I am afraid that the old man's rhetoric will have little effect." But I will try my best to persuade you, even if I touch the dragon's face, I will play the heavens and listen. ”

Du Yi: "The elder of the pavilion takes the lead, and the two of us will follow up and make suggestions to the saint." "Food

The next day, after the Shang Dynasty retreated, Li Xiang, Du Yi, and Cui Shen followed Wuzong to the Zichen Palace.

After Wuzong sat down, the three of them knelt down, and Li Xiang said earnestly, "Your Majesty, forgive the old minister for being blunt, Zhao Guizhen is a sinner in the Jingzong Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to get close to this person." Cultivators advocate self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but now Zhao Guizhen and other Taoist priests do not have the character of a born person at all, impetuous. ”

Wu Zong said disapprerovingly: "Aiqing is too worried, I have known Zhao Guizhen for a long time, but I didn't know that he was Zhao Guizhen at that time, I just called him Zhao Lianshi." In fact, Aiqing exaggerated. Zhao Guizhen did not make any big mistakes in the Jingzong Dynasty. I talked to Zhao Guizhen, but it was just to expel boredom. As for military affairs, I naturally discussed with Aiqing and other courtiers, so why ask the Taoist. Don't say one Zhao Guizhen, even a hundred Zhao Guizhen can't confuse me. Aiqing, even if you put a hundred and twenty hearts. Zhao Gui's true existence will not be as you think, I will be deceived by him and become unconscious. ”

Li Xiang then stated: "Your Majesty Shengming, will not disturb the audio-visual. But according to the minister's understanding, there are many snobs in the court, and when they saw that Zhao Guizhen was favored by His Majesty, they attached themselves to him like moths to a fire. There was an endless stream of doors in front of Zhao Guizhen. Your Majesty, Li Xun, Zheng Zhu and others are in power, and the front door of the government is like a city, and the lessons of forming parties and running for personal gain and harming the government and government cannot but be wary. ”

Wu Zong's face sank, Li Xiang's words were like duties, he was dumb and couldn't distinguish between right and wrong. His elder brother Wen Zongchao had more than enough heart but not enough strength, which caused the ministers to seize power.

The grand occasion of the first dynasty proved that he could become a generation of Ming monarchs, but Li Xiang compared the situation of his brother when he was in power. Wu Zong didn't like to listen to it, and looked at Li Xiang with a cold face.

What I said was too direct, and I should have been tactful. The knife poked and poked the ground, and it was not to blame His Majesty for being angry. Li Xiang knelt on the ground, glanced up at Wu Zong, and quickly lowered his head.

Du Yi and Cui Shen saw that Wu Zong was angry, but they still decided to stick a knife in both sides. It was agreed in advance that they could not use Li Yuan's gun, and they escaped from the battle.

"Your Majesty, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, Zhao Guizhen's fallacies confuse the public, and incite what kind of immortality. If there was really a technique of immortality, he would not have to stay in the palace, he would have already lived in seclusion in which immortal mountain and became an immortal. ”

Cui Shen bowed his head and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Lord Du said. I think that the first emperor raised the strength of the whole country and sent people from outside the country to lead the people to the sea to find the immortal mountain on the sea, but in the end there was no gain. Feathered Flying Immortal's immortality is just a good wish of the world. I hope that Your Majesty will think twice before acting. ”

Wu Zong's face was dark and gloomy, and his heart was devoted to the Taoist doctrine of attaining the Tao, but it was useless in the mouths of these ministers.

Du Yi and Cui Shen never raised their heads, and said their heartfelt words in one breath. They were afraid that when they raised their heads and saw Wu Zong's face, they didn't have the courage to speak out.

Wu Zong doesn't smile on weekdays, giving people an unfathomable feeling, if his face is dark, he can't see the whole thing, it's too shocking.

Wu Zong scolded sharply; "I remember that you have been loyal to the country all the time, and I do not care about your disobedience and outspokenness today. There can be no two things, if you don't like longevity, even if you are admonishing on this topic. That's all I say, and you can do it yourself. I'm emphasizing this question once, and I don't want to hear it a second time. ”

Wu Zong got up and brushed his sleeves away. The three ministers kneeling on the ground looked at each other. They spoke bluntly and offended many times around Wu Zong, and this time His Majesty Long Yan was furious, and his words were not polite at all.

Du Yi and Cui Shen looked directly at Li Xiang, wanting to get instructions from him for the next step.

Li Xiang shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do about it. Wu Zong is obsessed with immortality, what can you do!

Wu Zong returned to the dormitory, sat in front of the table and sulked, he was a dignified son of heaven, but he believed in Taoism, which is also wrong? also organized a group to give him advice, and he was an important minister he relied on on every day.
