Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Oh? You've been practicing that immortality pill for almost a year. I don't know when it will be cured?"

"Just within three months!"

Guo Ye was taken aback when he heard this, and thought that Nima is not in compliance with the rules!How can a liar keep his words to death and not leave a way out for himself?Within three months, what if you can't hand in the elixir of immortality? Wouldn't it be all revealed?

Or is the old monk sure that His Majesty Li Er will not be able to pursue it?

Think carefully!

Chapter 1477 The Conspiracy Begins

Three months is much better than three years, and His Majesty Li Er's heart immediately reached the Buddhist side, saying: "Okay, then I will wait for you for three months! Master You Huguo, as long as you can continue to grow up Immortal Pill, I will definitely reward you!"

"Amitabha, the poor monk is an outsider. He doesn't ask for a reward! But I ask Your Majesty for one thing!"

"what's up?"

"Recently, in the capital, there have been some fallacies and heresies circulating. What "Journey to the West" and what "Buddha is the Way". These Bianwen are all nonsense and slander my Buddhism. I can't bear it! At that time, I'm afraid it will hinder His Majesty's alchemy plan!"

Guo Ye sneered and said: "According to what you said, it is all thanks to you, the great monk, that you have made the pill of immortality! If you can't make it, it is because of these fallacies and heresies! I said how can you be sure that you can make pills in three months? Save this backhand! Your Majesty, this old monk can say something, but he is blocked! Don't believe it easily!"

The Great Monk Xuanzang finally played his part and said: "Amitabha, monks do not tell lies, Master Luoer Sapo, please be careful with your words!"

His Majesty Li Er said: "Master Luoer Sapo, if you say that "Buddha is the Tao" is somewhat disrespectful to Buddhism, but "Journey to the West" is very respectful to Buddha. You said that Buddha would be angry, why can't I understand it? "

Luo Er Sapo shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Although "Journey to the West" has some praises for Buddha, they are all nonsense. The truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true. What is this hypocritical flattery and slander? Different? How can I be happy when I hear this?"

Guo Ye said: "Grand Monk, don't come to those fake people, I just want to ask you a question, if His Majesty really issued an imperial decree to ban these two Bianwen, can your elixir of immortality really be refined within three months?" ? Don’t find any excuses to deny it then!”

"Amitabha, what the poor monk said is from the bottom of his heart, every sentence is true!"

His Majesty Li Er hesitated and said: "Master Luoer Suopo, because of the two changes in the text, is it too much of a fuss to issue an imperial decree? If this imperial decree wants to have an effect, then my central decree will be No way, no matter what, a formal imperial decree is needed. This kind of reason for seeking longevity... I'm afraid it will be refuted by the subordinates!"

Luo Er Suo Po said: "The poor monk is an outsider, so you can't comment on the affairs of the court. Please also ask your majesty to order!" After finishing speaking, the old monk closed his eyes, and stopped talking, calling His Majesty Li Er Let it hang there!

Under the temptation of Changsheng, His Majesty Li Er gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just like what the Protector of the Country said!"

One bird in hand is worse than ten birds in the forest.Since there is hope for longevity within three months, His Majesty Li Er lost interest in Xuanzang and Guo Ye, and after asking a few words, he sent them away!

The ingenious plan that Guo Ye had thought up had not been executed at all, and he was completely defeated!

He had never suffered such a big loss, and when he returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but look depressed.

Xuanzang did not go back to the temple, but went back to the Duke of Qin's mansion with him.Seeing Guo Ye's appearance, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "Brother Guo, why are you so sad?"

"Hey! Is there any need to ask? Today we brothers were defeated by Luoer Sapo! Not only did Luo Ersapo not fall out of favor, but our Bianwen will be banned by His Majesty! This is completely unreasonable Lost a handful of rice! I know why Zhou Yu was so pissed off by Zhuge Liang, this feeling is really uncomfortable!"

"Zhou Yu was mad at Zhuge Liang to death? How come the poor monk has never heard of it? See it in He Dian?"

"Uh..." Guo Ye just remembered that in the Tang Dynasty, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" hadn't appeared yet, and naturally this story hadn't been handed down yet!

He said: "That's not important! The point is that we suffered a big loss today!"

Xuanzang shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't think so, why do I think we have taken advantage of this time?"

"Hehe, I didn't see it. You are quite good at comforting people. However, you said that is useless. If you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win. I, Guo Ye, am willing to bet on losing. If I win, I can afford to lose!"

"The poor monk is not trying to comfort you, but he really thinks so in his heart. Brother Guo, you are also a fan of the authorities. If you jump out of the situation, it is not difficult to come to the same conclusion as the poor monk!"

Guo Ye's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since you said that, then I really have to listen carefully!"

"The poor monk asks you, what have we suffered this time?"

"The Bianwen we have worked so hard to create will be banned by His Majesty. Isn't this a big loss?"

"The poor monk would like to ask you again, do you think there is anyone in Chang'an who hasn't heard of these two Bianwen?"

"I'm afraid this is not much!"

"That's it. Since everyone knows it, what's the difference if His Majesty forbids it or not?"

"Then... what else is there outside of Chang'an City?"

"Mr. Qin, don't forget that the condition that Luo Ersuopo put forward in order to ban these two Bianwen is to refine the elixir of immortality within three months. If the alchemy fails within three months, His Majesty will naturally not ban us again Bianwen! If you refine the pill of immortality after three months, what’s the point of saying that our Bianwen can’t be forbidden?”

Guo Ye nodded and said: "That makes sense! But you said we took advantage of it, so what do you say?"

"The old monk has been practicing alchemy for more than a year, and he has always been vague about the time of alchemy. Now he has confirmed the time of alchemy within three months. What does this mean? It means that your Bianwen has forced him to retreat Lost evidence, this is his desperate fight! Hmph, within three months, let's see how he confesses!"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Guo Ye's mind, and he said, "Maybe he doesn't need to explain at all?"

"You mean the old monk wants to run away?"

Guo Ye said with a wry smile: "He got a lot of money from His Majesty, and he can leave anytime if he wants to. Why should he propose a three-month agreement?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid that after three months, His Majesty will not be able to trouble him again!"

Xuanzang was taken aback by Guo Ye's deduction, and said, "You mean, he...he wants to kill the king? This...how is this possible? How can he still survive after committing such a big crime?"

Guo Ye said: "I think His Majesty killed the crown prince Jiancheng, and now he is still the emperor!"

"This... how can this be the same?"

"It's not the same, but the reason is similar. This old monk is not that simple! Thinking back to when His Majesty conferred a monk who claimed to know the longevity technique as the protector of the country, no one in the court objected! Do you think this is absurd?"

The Great Monk Xuanzang was in a cold sweat and said, "You mean that the courtiers are all in collusion with Luoer Sapo! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Of course it's impossible to have collusion, but it's very possible that they were all influenced by the forces behind Luoer Sapo. They thought they did this harmlessly, but they didn't expect it to be part of a huge conspiracy!"

"This... These are all your guesses! Although the poor monk can't find anything wrong, I still can't believe it!"

Guo Ye sighed, and said: "I don't want to believe that this is true either. I also hope that Luo Er Sapo is a simple liar! I, Guo Ye, am also unwilling to be an enemy of such a powerful force. But... One thing that comes down can verify whether my guess is true!"

"what's up?"

"Your Majesty's imperial decree banning the two Bianwen has no basis in the law. You can see if it can be promulgated smoothly. In the court, there are seven or eight ministers who have the power to refute it. Let's see what they say!"

As expected by Guo Ye, His Majesty Li Er's imperial decree was promulgated surprisingly smoothly, and those important ministers kept silent again!

Guo Ye was so frightened that chills ran down his spine, and he ordered Li Jingmen to investigate Luo Ersapo's past, and at the same time secretly ordered Li Jingmen to strengthen the monitoring of the court officials.However, this operation did not go smoothly, and was obstructed intentionally or unintentionally by bad people!

Could it be that Zhang Liang also participated in this conspiracy, how much does he know?

Chapter 1478 Losing the Seal

Although Guo Ye was scared to death, he knew in his heart that there must not be many people who really participated in this conspiracy.
