Chapter 409: The Monk Who Committed Suicide
When I saw that the other party was drunk, it was useless to talk so much to a drunk, so I simply didn't bother with him and didn't care about him.
As a result, the former prince slapped him on the back and said angrily: "What? Default, right? What to pack! ”
Then he walked forward in a rage.
The first two princes opened their mouths and wanted to chase after him, but in the end they didn't go, so it was better to let him be calm and calm alone.
The former prince stumbled away in a rage, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
The palace was originally his, but now it is occupied by Li Xingchen.
Not only that, but his favorite woman, Chu Li, also became the queen and gave birth to a child.
Damn it! Damn it! Why!
It was all meant to be their own! Why did it become Li Xingchen's?
The former prince gritted his teeth, and hatred was pervasive.
As long as you don't die, you still have a chance.
Li Xingchen, I will take all this back, and I will return the shame you brought me.
The Imperial Study.
Li Xingchen ordered the secret guard to strengthen the supervision of the two former princes, especially the people they have been in contact with recently.
For several days in a row, the capital became more and more lively.
The convening order of the Daomen to go out recruited Taoist priests from all over the world.
Buddhism is also not far behind, learn from them to widely distribute Buddhism orders, for a time, the capital came and went a lot of Xuanmen people.
And the believers on both sides came together.
With the convening of the ceremonies of the two sides, they are full of tricks, and they invite wealthy families, such as a certain family, a certain magnat, a certain high-level, etc., and the two sides seem to be intending to fight, and the ceremony is scheduled on the same day.
Li Xingchen received invitations from both factions at the same time, but he didn't plan to go, and he didn't reply to each other.
Because he pretended to be deaf and dumb, a group of high-level officials, royal relatives and relatives were not sure about their attitude, and they did not dare to participate.
Of course, there are also people who are loyal to their beliefs, such as the former prince, Zhou Yuetian and others.
Zhou Yuetian went to Buddhism, the former prince went to Taoism, and he went with the old department of the former court, Li Xingchen turned a blind eye and let it develop.
On the day of the ceremony, the two factions marched in the main streets of the capital.
I don't know if it's deliberate, the two factions came opposite each other, and no one let anyone, and finally fought.
Fortunately, Qianniuwei strengthened his precautions that day and took action in time to pull each other apart, otherwise it would be out of control.
After the ceremony, the competition between the two sides became more and more fierce, and various leaflets of their own sects were distributed to the people to collect believers.
In the process of competition, Buddhism was quietly suppressed, and Taoism was silently supported.
Specifically, when the yamen took action to bring back the brawlers, the people of the Buddhist sect not only tortured them severely, but also detained them for 15 days before releasing them.
And the Taoist priests were released after some ideological education.
This kind of treatment is not visible to ordinary people, they just think that the court is fair and just, and it teaches the two major Xuanmen to live in peace and not fight.
What is the case? No one knows this better than anyone in the two religions.
So, the bald donkey of Buddhism couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to wash away the shame with blood, and shouted with Li Xingchen.
One day, in the middle of the night, not far from the main gate of the palace, twenty monks in yellow robes sat on the ground.
Looking from a distance, I lowered my head, not knowing what I was doing.
When I got closer, I found that there was blood all over the place, and the monk had already lost his breath.
Dare to commit suicide at the main gate of the palace, or a person in the Buddhist gate, it is the first time in the past dynasties.
The soldiers guarding the gate gasped and quickly sent people to block the scene and report to the commander of the forbidden army.
The commander of the forbidden army received the news as soon as possible, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure it's a monk?" ”
Asked, quickly rushed out, reported that the soldiers ran along, panting and nodding, "Yes, wearing robes, wearing Buddhist beads, and shaving heads." ”
rushed to the palace gate and saw the monk, and the leader's pupils shrank sharply.
Buddhism stipulates that the four colors of the robe are green, yellow, red and white.
The dead bald donkey was dressed in yellow and had a high status, but I don't know if it was a fake monk or not.
Committing suicide openly outside the palace gate is a provocation by Buddhism to the imperial court.
"Send someone to investigate, and investigate their details as quickly as possible." The Commander said in a deep voice.
The day is about to dawn, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is coming to the morning court, and if he does not deal with the problem well, he will be seen by them, and it will cause a series of troubles, and he cannot afford to take responsibility.
The commander observed the facial expressions of the twenty monks, and they were very peaceful, and they didn't even wring their eyebrows in pain, and they were committing suicide at first glance.
Looking at the ring scar on the top of the monk's head, it is very old, and it should be a real monk.
It was almost the point of the early dynasty, and the commander had to order, "Quickly, thousands of kilometers away from here, close all the checkpoints, and the ministers of the upper dynasty in the future will be blocked, and they will be blocked with full power, and don't let the people pass by here."
Unless ordered by His Majesty, no matter who says anything or takes anything out, is not allowed to come close. ”
"Yes."
Soon, a group of forbidden troops were ready to fight.
Buddhism's provocation of the imperial court is a major event, and it must be handled with caution.
In the palace, Li Xingchen yawned and came over to prepare for the morning court.
Halfway through, a little eunuch hurriedly came over to tell him, saying that the commander of the forbidden army had something important to report.
Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows, "Let him have something to do, let's talk about it after the morning court." ”
"Your Majesty." The eunuch hurriedly said, "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have been blocked outside, and the commander has said something big." ”
Li Xingchen was surprised, and when his mind turned around, he realized that the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs must have been stopped by the commander.
Dare to do this, it proves that the situation is urgent.
"Hurry up and let him come."
"Your Majesty, the despicable duty has been dealt with." In the distance, the commander hurriedly shouted and ran, and quickly rushed to Li Xingchen, blurting out without caring about saluting.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, there are twenty monks who committed suicide outside the main gate, they are wearing yellow robes, and they have been dead for a long time.
The lowly officials have sent people to urgently investigate their identities, and blocked all major intersections to prevent the ministers from going to court, hoping that His Majesty will decide. ”
Li Xingchen's face sank like water.
Blatant provocation? Buddha Dog really doesn't take imperial power seriously.
"Let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple join forces to investigate, lift the ban, and let civil and military officials in." Li Xingchen ordered one after another.
A few bald donkeys committed suicide, and they still want to disturb the order of the court? Just kidding, the more the blockade, the more the Buddha dog will think that the imperial court will take it seriously.
The commander was surprised, he didn't expect him to be so calm.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Commander is gone.
Although he rushed out of the palace, there were still some ministers who arrived early, standing on the periphery, curious about what was going on inside, why they didn't let themselves go in to the early court.
"Strange, is there a rebellion? It's the first time I've encountered a situation where you won't give way.
When asked, the forbidden army didn't speak, like a dumb man. ”
"Wait for the prime minister to come, they have great power, and they will definitely be able to ask for useful information."
"Will there be chaos in the palace?"
The officials below the third grade who came early were full of discussions.
A number of ministers arrived and noticed the situation and asked what was going on.
