Stabbed to the sky.

Yang Shuen is really not a vegetarian.

The status of Jingjiao in the Tang Dynasty is not low, ranking third seems to be inferior to Buddhism and Taoism, but after all, there are hundreds of thousands of believers, and when they entered the Tang Dynasty, they were ceremoniously welcomed by Taizong and the prime minister.

This kind of weight is not comparable to ordinary courtiers, and Yang Shuen, as the head of the Jingjiao sect, naturally has the right to face the saint.

After leaving from Ganjingzhuang, Yang Shuen immediately returned to Chang'an and entered the Taiji Palace to face the saint.

Obviously, kneeling in front of Li Zhi and crying bitterly, otherwise Li Zhi would not have sent eunuchs to recall him back to Chang'an.

The Son of Heaven has an edict and does not dare to disobey.

After receiving the order, Li Qinzai immediately ordered the preparation of horses, but before leaving, he also gathered the elders in Zhuangzi, gathered the strong men in Zhuangzi, patrolled the village entrances in all directions, and left two hundred parts in the courtyard, and he only brought a few people back to Chang'an.

Galloping back to Chang'an City, he entered the Taiji Palace.

In the Anren Palace, Li Zhi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Li Qinzai coming, Li Zhi sighed and beckoned him to step forward without courtesy.

"Jing Chu, you just made a great contribution and stabbed a hornet's nest, I wonder if you did it on purpose, could it be that Jing Chu was afraid of criticism from the DPRK and China, and deliberately defiled himself to protect himself?"

Li Qinzai blinked: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't have so many eyes, and there is no other purpose for poking a hornet's nest, hey, it's just fun......"

Li Zhi smiled angrily: "You just have a hard mouth, what did you do yesterday, I don't need to remind you, right?" Nestorian Yang Shuen begged to see me early in the morning, knelt in front of me and burst into tears, saying that you harbored Jingjiao traitors, lost your morals, and maliciously provoked Jingjiao......"

Saying that, Li Zhi paused and said: "Yang Shuen said that I listened to it, and I always felt that there was a suspicion of adding fuel and vinegar, and I never listened to it and believed it, so I urgently summoned you back to Beijing today and wanted to hear your explanation." ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, most of what Yang Shuen said is true. ”

Li Zhi was stunned, looked at him in disbelief, and said slowly: "Jing Chu, I have known you for several years, and you are not the kind of person who is rampant,...... Ahem, maybe it used to be, but since I got to know you, I've never seen your domineering side, why is this the case today? ”

Li Qinzai looked hesitant.

The matter of the new grain seed should be completely said at this moment, and at the same time assuring Li Zhi's heart, it also made him happy.

As long as Li Zhi knew that he had discovered a new grain seed, even if Li Qinzai led people to kill people and set fire to Chang'an City, Li Zhi would presumably forgive him.

The good news of this level is enough for Li Zhi to burst his blood vessels once.

However, the matter is completely uncertain, Li Qinzai doesn't even know whether the new grain species that Yi Duo said exists, and he didn't get a definite answer from Yi Duo's mouth, Li Qinzai really can't say this matter at this moment, otherwise he will be guilty of bullying the king for no reason in the future, which will be even more detrimental to himself.

Regarding this matter, Li Qinzai himself is just a gambler who is not sure, and before everything is seen, there is no need to forcibly pull Li Zhi to the gambling table.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Qinzai decided to endure it first.

Looking at Li Zhi's disbelieving eyes, Li Qinzai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a hard time. ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Of course, there is a reason for this, with Jing Chu's person, he must not have a grudge with Jingjiao for no reason, nor will he shield the traitors of Jingjiao for no reason, so I want to know the reason." ”

Li Qinzai was silent for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, the minister can't explain it today. ”

"Why? You and I are both kings and ministers, and friends, what can't we say calmly? If you don't say anything, how can I explain it to you in front of Yang Shuen? ”

Li Qinzai sighed and said: "Your Majesty should be proud of your merits, the minister's hardships are really unspeakable at the moment, if the matter is undecided and the words are vain, the minister will not be able to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Zhi frowned.

"If Jing Chu doesn't explain, Jingjiao won't let you go, Yang Shuen is in charge of Jingjiao, and there are hundreds of thousands of believers in the sect, if he instigates it against you, even I have to be jealous, if you provoke unreasonably, I can't protect you."

"Because the followers of the Nestorian Sect are not only among the people, but also among the courtiers, and many of them are already ministerial and provincial officials, if they launch the impeachment of the imperial history, do you know what the result will be?"

Li Qinzai smiled: "The minister is not afraid of impeachment, because the minister has a clear conscience, and if His Majesty wants to punish the minister's sin, the minister is willing to accept the guilt." ”

Li Zhi was stunned again, this product took the wrong medicine today? Why did it suddenly become so rigid?

After being silent for a long time, Li Zhi sighed and said: "A Jingjiao traitor, life and death don't matter, it's not a big deal, what I'm afraid of is that someone is determined to make a big fuss, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"The minister understands, and the minister is ready."

Li Zhi shook his head: "No matter how much preparation you make, you can't bear this matter." Nestorianism...... It is the third major religion of the Tang Dynasty, during the Zhenguan period, the first emperor and Prime Minister Fang Xuanling personally went out of the city to greet the Jingjiao envoys, a foreign sect, do you know why the first emperor greeted them so ceremoniously? ”

"It is about the first emperor to be virtuous in the world, treat foreign sects with sincerity, and make the world return to the heart outside the territory?"

Li Zhi smiled and shook his head: "It's not that simple. ”

"During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty placed the Anxi capital in Xizhou to protect the smooth trade routes of the Western Regions, and for the first time since the founding of the country, our royal division was placed in the territory of the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions were De.

"At that time, in the Western Regions, all the countries were unwilling to be the Tang Dynasty's vassals, and after Hou Jun destroyed Gaochang, the countries were shocked, and Jingjiao happened to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty that year."

"The first emperor courteously treated Jingjiao because the headquarters of Jingjiao was in Persia, in the Western Regions, and there were many Jingjiao people who were proficient in Chinese, and the Tang Dynasty needed them to translate Chinese and foreign books and languages, serve the Anxi Protectorate, and use the local religion to support the people of Anxi."

"This is the purpose of the first emperor to treat a foreign religion so politely, and today, with the Tang Dynasty taking control of Tuyuhun and driving Tubo back to the plateau, the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty are connected to the right Guanzhong."

"We need the Jingjiao people to play a role in translating and disseminating them, spreading the scriptures and righteousness of the sages of our Central Plains far and wide, so that the countries of the Western Regions will obey our king and return to the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhi sighed and said: "I actually don't like this kind of foreign sect, especially in recent years, the people in the Jingjiao sect are uneven, and there are many bad deeds in Chang'an, but as a monarch, I can't be rash, although I don't like it, I have to use them." ”

"Now that you have offended the head of the Jingjiao, everyone has sued me, and if you change others, I may still be able to favor you a little, but the Jingjiao ......"

Li Qinzai nodded: "The minister understands, Your Majesty does not have to be embarrassed, if someone participates in the impeachment, then do it according to the rules, dismiss the official or cut the knight, the minister has no complaints." ”

Li Zhi said angrily: "I have been talking for a long time, but in vain? Did I say I was going to be dismissed? I want the truth! If you tell the truth, I have the confidence to help you speak, and I am quite awake, why am I suddenly stunned? ”
