Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

For the next month or so, Li Chengqian maintained a state of happiness and pain.

Speaking of being happy, it was because Li You promised that as long as he obediently followed Duanmu Rong's instructions, his legs would recover.

But when it comes to pain, it is real pain.

Because he was afraid that the painkillers would become addictive, Li You stopped prescribing Mafeisan to Li Chengqian after the operation, and the painkiller effect of ordinary golden sore medicines was not enough.

And because Duanmurong was afraid that Li Chengqian's disturbance would affect the growth of the bones inside, he was even more strictly ordered not to get out of bed.

As a result, Li Chengqian's life became even more difficult.

Perhaps the only thing that made Li Chengqian feel lucky was that these days because of his injury, he and Su Xishui spent longer time together.

As an intern under Li Chengqian, Su Xishui now works in the East Palace every day.

Every day when Su Xishui was around, Li Chengqian felt that the time passed very quickly, and the pain seemed to be a little less.

Knowing that Li Chengqian's feet can return to their original state, the most excited person is of course Empress Changsun.

Due to Li Chengqian's limited mobility, Empress Changsun would come to see him every now and then.

Seeing Li Chengqian enduring the unspeakable pain, Empress Changsun felt the same pain and joy in her heart.

She even blamed Li You a little bit.

She knew that Li You had a good anesthetic in his hand, but Li You refused to let Li Chengqian use it on the grounds that using too much of it would be bad for his health.

Regarding such an answer, although Empress Changsun could understand, every time she saw and thought of Li Chengqian's painful appearance, Empress Changsun felt that her heart was about to break.

But for such a situation, neither Duan Murong nor Sun Simiao had a particularly good solution. The two of them said the most was to ask Li Chengqian to bear it and think about the expectation of walking like ordinary people in the future.

On this day, after returning to Lizheng Hall from the East Palace, Empress Changsun was worried about Li Chengqian's pain again.

At this time, a court lady said: "Empress, although the prince's leg hurts, it is also an opportunity for recovery."

"The empress should be happy for the prince."

"The empress made a great wish for the prince at the Dazongchi Temple before, and now that the prince's foot has been cured, why don't we go out of the palace for a walk, and go to fulfill the wish."

Upon hearing this, Empress Changsun nodded.

She is a Buddhist believer, and she did make a wish for the prince at the Da Zongchi Temple in Yongyang Square, southwest corner of Chang'an City, and now is the time to fulfill her wish.

And she heard that Daoqiu, the mage of Da Zongchi Temple, is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has outstanding achievements in medicine.

The people nearby often go to the temple to ask for medicine when they get sick.

Thinking of this, Empress Changsun immediately brought people to Da Zongchi Temple.

After burning incense and fulfilling her wish, she begged to see Master Daoqiu and told about Li Chengqian's current situation.

After Daoqiu thought about it for a while, he had some other thoughts in his mind.

Although Buddhism is still prosperous today, the situation is not as good as before.

As early as when Tang Gaozu Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan, the well-known Taoist Wang Yuanzhi used the method of secret transmission of talisman to seek refuge with Li Yuan, and said that Li Yuan would appoint Chengtian as emperor, thus gaining his trust.

After Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and established the Tang Dynasty, Ji Shan from Taiyuan told Li Yuan that he saw an old man riding a white horse on Yangjiao Mountain who claimed to be the ancestor of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. year emperor.

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and thought that this old man was Li Er, the Supreme Old Monarch in Taoism.

For this reason, he built Laojun Temple in Yangjiao Mountain and confirmed his kinship with Li Er.

Li Yuan not only admired Taoism, but also wanted to attack Buddhism several times, intending to abolish Buddhism.

Since the fourth year of Wude, Fu Yi, who understands Li Yuan's thoughts, has been playing "Please Abolish the Table of Buddhist Laws", requesting the abolition of Buddhism.

If it hadn't been for the then prince Li Jiancheng's remonstrance with the three vehicles and eight righteousness of Buddhism, it is estimated that the law to abolish Buddhism would have been promulgated long ago.

Although Li Yuan did not abolish Buddhism, he still adopted Taoism as the state religion in the eighth year of Wude, and went to Guozijian to officially announce the status of the three religions: Taoism first, Confucianism second, and Buddhism third.

Originally, the monks thought that even though Li Yuan believed in Taoism, after Li Jiancheng, who believed in Buddhism, came to power, Buddhism still had a day to come.

But they did not expect that after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne.

Li Shimin is also a person who obeys Taoism.

Li Shimin, who was still the king of Qin at that time, returned to Chang'an after defeating Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the Central Plains. Zeng Yifu made a special trip to visit Taoist Wang Yuanzhi with makeup.

Wang Yuanzhi told Li Shimin face to face, you will be the emperor of Taiping in the future.

Therefore, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin specially built a Taiping Temple for Wang Yuanzhi in Maoshan to show his respect.

In the overall situation, it is even more respectful of the Tao and the Buddha.

At present, although the influence of Taoism is still not as good as that of Buddhism, according to this trend, it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed.

For the prosperity of Buddhism, Daoqiu decided to take a gamble.

After thinking for a while, Daoqiu asked Empress Changsun to wait a while, and he went to the pharmacy to get the medicine by himself.

Back at the pharmacy, looking at the dusty medicine bottle, Dao Qiu still hesitated.

The bottle of medicine came from Daqin, and was called "Diyejia" by the locals, and it was the antidote with the best curative effect.

It is said that these "diyega" are made of a mixture of six hundred substances. The effect of this pill-shaped medicine can relieve all toxins.

When he got this bottle of medicine just now, Dao Qiu also regarded him as a fetish.

But soon, the person who gave him this bottle of medicine told him that the main ingredients in these medicines are poppy, ambergris, sage, nutmeg, cinnamon, etc., among which the most important ingredient is poppy.

It is precisely because of this that although taking "Diyega" can make people forget the pain and achieve the feeling of being intoxicated and ecstatic, at the same time, it is also extremely toxic.

Once taken, it is difficult to stop, and the physical condition will go from bad to worse.

And Daoqiu was going to use this method to control Li Chengqian, so as to control Empress Changsun, and he even wanted to control Li Shimin.

At the beginning, he just thought about it, but now, when this idea gradually became a reality, his heart became wild all of a sudden.

"Buddha, please forgive me, this disciple is doing this for the sake of thousands of believers in the Tang Dynasty!"

After making an excuse for himself, Daoqiu handed the medicine bottle to Empress Changsun.

"Queen, this medicine can suppress pain, just ask the prince to take one when he is in pain."

"One pill at a time, don't eat too much."

Daoqiu knew that this medicine was not only addictive, but also poisonous.

Now that Li Chengqian is still young, if he eats too much at one time and dies, the whole Buddhism will be affected.

After getting the medicine, Empress Changsun was naturally very grateful, and after leaving a large amount of offerings, she hurried towards the East Palace with her people.
