Early the next morning, the Wanxiang Shrine caused a sensation by offering relics, not the relics themselves, but the appearance of two Maitreya relics.

Emperor Li Dan presented a Maitreya relic to her mother, the Holy Spirit Emperor Wu Zetianjin, as a birthday gift.

At the same time, Wu Chenghei, the king of Wei, also presented a Maitreya relic to the son of heaven, Wu Zetianjin, as a birthday gift.

And the two relics are from Tocharo, the set of letters is exactly the same, causing a sensation in the Manchu Dynasty, these two relics must be true and false, so who is the real relic?

There was a lot of discussion about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and this matter has quickly replaced Di Renjie's case of offering poison and has become the focus of attention of the government and the opposition.

In the dormitory, Wei Tuan'er was carefully combing Wu Zetian's hair, and said with a smile: "The slave maid also made a bet with the big official today, which relic letter is true, we bet five times!"

As she spoke, she paid attention to the changes in Wu Zetian's expression, and no subtle change could escape her eyes.

A trace of anger flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and then disappeared, and he asked with a faint smile: "Then whose relics are you betting on is true?"

"The big official bet the king of Wei first, and the slave had to bet the emperor's heir. ”

"Do you all think King Wei is real?"

Wu Zetian turned his head, glanced at Xue Huaiyi who was standing next to him, and smiled lightly: "Why does the big official think that King Wei is real?"

Xue Huaiyi has a majestic figure, a big nose, a leopard head, and is full of a man's wildness, he laughed and said: "It's very simple, the emperor's heir can't leave the East Palace, he believes what others give him, I'm afraid even he doesn't know whether it's true or not." ”

"Oh, does the big official know who gave him the relics?"

"Who knows?"

Xue Huaiyi pretended to be careless and said: "Maybe it's a foreign minister! Anyway, I heard that he often has private contacts with foreign ministers, and it's normal for him to get relics!"

Wu Zetian smiled and asked Shangguan Wan'er who was standing at the door, "Wan'er, you should know a little bit of news!"

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and saluted: "Wan'er read the book of dedication of the emperor's heir, it seems that the king of Shouchun County sent someone to Tocharo to ask for it and present it to the emperor's heir. ”

Li Chengqi, the king of Shouchun County, is the eldest son of the emperor's heir Li Dan, he is seventeen years old this year, has opened a mansion, and can make friends with foreign ministers.

And Li Dan, who lives in the East Palace, is absolutely not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers, so what Xue Huaiyi said just now is actually implying that Li Dan is guilty.

Wu Zetian didn't seem to care, she nodded, "In that case, let's open the two boxes of relics together, and let us directly distinguish between the real and the fake." ”

"Wan'er obeys!" Shangguan Wan'er saluted and turned around.

At this time, Wu Zetian glanced at Xue Huaiyi's strong chest again, and her heart began to ripple, so she asked, "What time is it now?"

The reason why Wei Tuan'er is favored is that she knows Wu Zetian's mind too well, and when she combed Wu Zetian's hair, she touched her earlobe.

Now that he asked the hour again, Wei Tuan'er immediately knew it, and laughed softly: "It's still early before the time of the last dynasty, why don't you rest for a while?"

Wu Zetian laughed, "You bad girl, okay! Just listen to your advice and rest for a while." ”

Her heart-wrenching eyes were given to Xue Huaiyi, Xue Huaiyi understood, and immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The little monk is willing to give Zen to the saint!"

Wu Zetian put a hand on his shoulder, and his eyes were full of spring, "Then I will listen to the Zen lecture of the senior monk Huaiyi again!"

She helped Xue Huaiyi slowly into a small garden in the middle of the palace, Wei Tuan'er hurriedly ordered the palace maid to retreat, and she stood at the door, serving the saint and the big official from a distance to practice meditation.

The drums outside the dormitory were beating, muffling out the sound of something, but the eunuchs and ladies in the palace knew what the drums meant during the day.

The palace maids lowered their heads, and many of the guards were also uneasy, and no one dared to move anymore, so they knelt down one after another

The affair of the Taichu Palace did not alarm the courtiers of the Vientiane Divine Palace, and at this time, Li Dezhao, Su Wei and other Xiangguo were leading the ministers to look at the two relics set of letters placed on the Qilin white jade table in the lower hall.

Everyone talked about it, of course there was only one relic, so who was real and who was fake, which made them full of curiosity, but contrary to the bet in the inner palace, most of the courtiers hoped that the one of King Wei was fake.

Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, was really uneasy in his heart, he never dreamed that Li Dan would actually take out a relic, and even the set of letters was exactly the same as his relic.

It turned out that there were two relics, one true and one false, and it was only at this time that Wu Chengsi faintly felt that he might have been deceived by Wu Shun.

Wu Shun must have hidden a lot of things from him, Wu Chengsi couldn't wait to crush Wu Shun's bones and scatter ashes, but hatred is hate, how should he pass this level in front of him, and sacrifice fake relics, which is the crime of bullying the king.

There is still a glimmer of hope in Wu Chengsi's heart, that is, his relics are true and Li Dan's relics are fake.

At this moment, several guards shouted outside the lobby: "His Majesty the Holy Spirit Emperor has arrived!"

The courtiers returned one after another, bowed down together to welcome the arrival of the Tang Emperor Wu Zetian, in the sound of the ring, wearing an ochre gold dragon robe, wearing a crown of cupola Wu Zetian slowly walked into the lower hall under the escort of eight palace maids holding long-handled fans and dozens of guards with knives.

Liang Wang Wu Sansi shouted loudly: "Bow down to welcome His Majesty into the court!"

The courtiers also shouted: "Bow down and welcome Your Majesty into the court!"

Wu Zetian's face was ruddy, her spirit was radiant, and she looked very delicate, she sat down on the dragon couch, and Shangguan Wan'er, the inner housekeeper, stood on her side to serve the edict, Wu Zetian glanced at the courtiers, waved his hand and said: "Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you!"

At this time, Wu Zetian's gaze fell on the relics set of letters on the two unicorn white jade tables in front of the jade steps.

At this time, the copper box on the outside of the relic set has been cut open by the craftsman with a special tool, and the gold coffin and silver coffin inside are packed into two jade boxes.

One of the two jade boxes is green and the other is white, the green jade box is the relics offered by Wu Chenghe, and the white jade box is the relics offered by Li Dan.

Wu Zetian nodded, and said to Xiangguo Li Dezhao: "You can distinguish the relics!"

Li Dezhao shouted loudly: "Please enter the temple!"

In the melodious sound of the bell, two monks from Tianzhu, Bodhi Liuzhi and Bao Siwei slowly walked into the main hall with their hands on their staffs, and these two Tianzhu monks had witnessed the relics of the Little Atuo Temple.

The two elderly monks saluted Wu Zetian, "Long live my emperor, may your majesty be long live!"

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "The two eminent monks, please be exempted, I want to ask first, is it possible that the two relics are true?"

Bodhi Liuzhi clasped his palms together and bowed and said: "There is only one Maitreya Bodhisattva relic in the Little Atuo Temple in Ashu City, and the poor monk witnessed it ten years ago, if these two sets of letters come from the same place, then only one can be true, or both are shadow relics. ”

"Okay! ”

Bodhi Liuzhi and Bao Siwei two high monks and treasures solemnly sat in front of a white jade table, at this time, all the courtiers approached the white jade table, with a deep neck, even Wu Zetian couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, standing on the Dan steps to watch.

The two monks carefully took out the gold coffin and silver coffin from the jade box, opened the silver coffin, and opened the gold coffin, inside were two hollow ivory balls, which were fixed in the gold coffin, through the hollow gap, you can clearly see the relics inside.

At this time, Bodhi Liuzhi clasped his palms together and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the white jade letter is a true relic." ”

There was cheers in the main hall, and the imperial heir Li Dan knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Wu Zetian again and again, "This is the birthday gift that the son of the minister dedicated to His Majesty!"

Wu Zetian nodded and smiled: "It's rare for the emperor to have such filial piety, I am deeply relieved!"

Wu Zetian's gaze fell on the green jade letter again, and his face gradually became grim, and at this time, countless pairs of eyes fell on the other set of letters, since the white jade letter is true, then there is a problem in the green jade letter.

Wu Chengsi was sweating profusely, his legs trembled, and his eyes showed a look of despair, at this time, the senior monk Bao Siwei clasped his palms together and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the green jade letter is a shadow relic!"

The hall was suddenly silent, Wu Zetian snorted heavily, and glared at Wu Chenghe, "Wu Chenghei, you dare to bully the king!"

Wu Chenghe's legs were weak, he fell to his knees, and kowtowed again and again and wept: "Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know whether it's true or not!"

Next to him, Wu Sansi also knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, the copper box was originally sealed, if it is not opened, how can King Wei know whether it is true or false?" He really wants to pray for His Majesty's blessing and birthday, and I hope that His Majesty will spare him this time for the sake of his sincerity." ”

Wu Zetian was furious, and said coldly: "It may also be that he faked it himself to deceive me!"

Wu Chengsi trembled with fright, and cried and explained: "This is the minister's fake son Wu Shun, and the minister was also deceived by him." ”

"Where is this Wu Shun?" Wu Zetian asked after forcing Wu Chenghe.

"He's already committed suicide in fear of sin. ”

Wu Zetian was suddenly furious, and shouted: "Beat him out with a stick!"

More than a dozen guards rushed forward, and drove Wu Chengsi out of the main hall with sticks, at this time, Wu Zetian's anger calmed down a little, and said to the ministers: "Temporarily welcome the Maitreya relics into the White Horse Temple for worship, and I will hold a grand ceremony to welcome the relics!"

She said to Wu Sansi again: "This matter is the sole responsibility of King Liang." ”

Wu Sansi hurriedly saluted, "Weichen obeys the order!"

Wu Zetian waved his sleeves heavily, "Retreat!"

She got up and walked to the side hall, and the ministers in the main hall were talking a lot, all saying that this time King Wei was buckled up with the big hat of bullying the king, I am afraid it will be difficult.

Wu Zetian returned to the dormitory angrily, her phoenix eyes burst out with complex feelings, and her heart was uneasy.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Xue Huaiyi, and Xue Huaiyi slowly stepped forward and knelt down, "Weichen thanks His Majesty for sending the relics to the White Horse Temple for worship." ”

Wu Zetian glanced at him, the resentment in his heart calmed down a little, and said: "I only hate Wu Chenghei for shirking responsibility, and actually pushing the matter on the head of the fake son, which is extremely absurd." ”

Xue Huaiyi remembered Wang Daoyuan, who was killed by Wu Shun, and couldn't help sneering: "Wu Chengji is actually still deceiving His Majesty, and Weichen heard that his fake son did not commit suicide in fear of crime, but was killed by someone." ”

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment, and asked again, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, Wechen knows that this matter is not simple, Wu Chengsi actually knew that the relics were fake, and deliberately dedicated them to His Majesty, and the specific matter Wechen didn't know very well, but Wechen knew that Wu Shun was killed, which involved the competition between the two relics. ”

Xue Huaiyi killed two birds with one stone, not only to avenge Wu Shun's killing of Wang Daoyuan, but also to make Li Dan's sacrifice of relics come to naught.

Wei Tuan'er next to him was in a hurry, and stepped forward and knelt down, "King Wei is His Majesty's nephew, it's too late to please His Majesty, how can he do something to bully the king? Just as King Liang said, the copper box is sealed, if you don't open it, how can you know whether it's true or false?"

Wu Zetian is a person who can rub sand in her eyes, she didn't listen to Wei Tuan'er's plea, waved her hand to let everyone retreat, and immediately ordered: "Xuanlai Junchen came to see me!"

She paced back and forth in the room with her hands in her hands, her eyes thoughtful, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, Lai Junchen hurriedly arrived, knelt down and said, "Lai Junchen see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian said slowly: "How is Di Renjie's case progressing?"

"Back to His Majesty, Di Renjie refuses to admit that he poisoned the Buddhist scriptures, and Weichen plans to try the case again the day after tomorrow, so be sure to get his confession!"

Wu Zetian said lightly: "This case is temporarily transferred to Zhou Yunyuan, the middle of the imperial history, so you don't care." ”

Lai Junchen was startled, and was about to explain again, but Wu Zetian waved his hand, "I have already decided, I will leave another matter to you." ”

Lai Junchen had no choice but to lower his head, Wu Zetian took a few steps with his hands down, and said to him in a low voice: "I am very interested in the death of Wu Shun, the false son of Wu Chenghei, I will give you ten days, and Lai Qing must investigate this matter to the bottom of it." ”

"Wechen obeys!" Lai Junchen was really disappointed in his heart, and as a result, many of his plans fell through
