Crown Tang emperor

Taking advantage of this sudden situation, Wu Zetian determined the defeat of the Western Expedition with lightning speed, leaving no room for future troubles.

But this does not mean that the matter is over, because the natural disaster and earthquake just happened is also not good news, and the aftermath may be more serious.

Facts have proved that Wu Zetian's judgment is correct.In the evening, related disasters were sent to the city. A violent landslide occurred in Taizhou, located between Chang'an in Xijing and Shendu. A mountain moved hundreds of steps across, directly congesting the river and flooding the river. Submerged hundreds of miles around.

In addition to landslides and floods, the strong aftermath of the earthquake also spread widely. The shock was felt so strongly in Shendu City hundreds of miles away, but it would only be worse near the epicenter. Tongguan, the military city in Taizhou, was affected by the earthquake. More than half of it collapsed, the river was turbid, and countless fish and shrimp were killed and injured.

In the next few days, related disasters continued to spread to the city of God.The aftermath of earthquakes was frequent, sometimes even several times a day, causing panic between the two capitals, and correspondingly, rumors arose everywhere.

No one can always be strong, and Wu Zetian is no exception, and soon she tasted the consequences of her domineering behavior before.That is, when discussing the basic issue of disaster relief, they all encountered perfunctory constraints. Even when the disaster victims had poured into the vicinity of Shendu City, the imperial court still did not discuss a specific disaster relief plan.

The heroine is coming to court, or she may be sophisticated and ruthless, but when natural disasters and man-made disasters break out one after another, Wu Zetian's weakness is also fully exposed.

Although she has just taken down the prime minister Zhang Guangfu and several governors from other states, the administration of Taiwan Province is almost paralyzed. In terms of real governance, the cruel officials she relies on are useless!

And the more critical issue is that some people in the cities have linked the ensuing natural and man-made disasters.The so-called mountains are moving by themselves, there are soldiers in the world, the country is destroyed, and there are people who move from the mountains.

What can make people strong will eventually bind people.Wu Zetian plotted revolution, advocating Furui induction, and even made a big splash last year to welcome the treasure map and Bailuoshui.

So when this series of theories of prophecy and destiny came out, they soon became loud and powerful.It even quickly spread from the countryside to the court hall. A censor directly wrote a letter saying that since the arch, there have been continuous mountain disasters and ground subsidence between the two capitals. , The mountain has become a disaster, please ask the queen mother to cultivate virtue sideways, return to the government and be the master, in order to answer the punishment of heaven!

Under such a situation, even if Wu Zetian made some concessions, and showed the presence of Emperor Li Dan by honoring the emperor Li Longji as the heir of Chu King Li Longji, it did not receive the slightest effect at all.

Now that the crowd is turbulent, it seems that they are no longer satisfied with Wu Zetian's slight concessions, but plan to make a full effort to directly sweep Wu Zetian out of the court.Especially at the end of the month, another case of rebellion broke out outside the city of Shendu, and some rangers recruited exiles, preparing to go south to Fangzhou to welcome back Luling King Li Xian.

After all, even if the emperor returned power to Emperor Li Dan, the only beneficiaries would be those scholar-bureaucrats in court.As for the people at the bottom, if they wanted to stand out, they would naturally need to make special contributions. Welcome back the deposed emperor Li Xian, which was obviously much more meritorious than supporting the current emperor.

"Could it be that heaven really hates the heroine?"

Wu Zetian walked all the way from the Ganye Temple, naturally there is no shortage of toughness in her character, but the turbulent human relationship and the anxiety of external affairs in front of her have shaken her heart.

"Your Majesty, the Divine Emperor, don't think so! All kinds of diseases in front of me are just treacherous people taking advantage of the situation to make trouble..."

When Wu Chengsi and other members of the Wu family heard what Wu Zetian said, they were panicked for a while, and bowed down one after another to persuade them.

Wu Youning put it more bluntly: "The current situation is too small to back down! Now, all the people in the court are looking for His Majesty the Emperor, and all the people in the field are thinking about the King of Luling. Whoever owns the national weapon, there will be riots. Your Majesty The favor has been accumulated for a long time, and the crowd is still raging like this, no matter who the two choose, can they decide quickly?"

With so many pros and cons to weigh, Wu Zetian naturally thought more thoroughly than her nephews. She just complained a little because she was depressed for a long time.

However, the effect of these nephews on her was limited to words, but in terms of real affairs, the help was really not that great.It is safe to have her in the city, but there are turbulent public opinion inside and outside the city, and the left and right Jinwu Guards are in name only.

If the situation continues to be so chaotic, Wu Zetian is worried that even if Xue Huaiyi's army, who has high hopes, returns to the capital, he is afraid that if he turns around, he will become some kind of "King's righteous teacher".

"How is Qiu Shenji's life recently?"

The nephews were not capable enough, Wu Zetian couldn't help thinking of his former confidantes, and thought of using them again, but he hadn't made a decision yet.

But when she asked this question, she saw that the faces of her nephews changed slightly, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, and then said: "You don't need to worry about power when you enter this place of fame and fortune. Be loyal and diligent.”

After saying this, Wu Zetian dismissed a few more people, picked up a pen instead, and ordered Di Renjie, who was about to return to the capital, to transfer to Taizhou and immediately take over the relief work.

Of course, she also understands that disaster relief is a comprehensive problem. Without the support and material assistance from the Taiwan Province, it would be difficult for Di Renjie to use his clever tricks.

The biggest problem right now is people's ulterior motives. The reason why Wu Zetian dispatched Di Renjie was not because of his ability, but because of Di Renjie's accumulated virtue and reputation. He hoped to comfort the victims, at least not to let these victims flood in without order. Heluo, adding to the chaos in the capital of the gods.

Afterwards, she pulled herself together and began to deal with the backlog of memorials in the next few days, but most of them just made her more upset.It's just that when she kept flipping through the pages, a memorial suddenly lifted her spirits. She glanced at the content in a hurry, and then looked at the ending, only to find that it was actually the memorial of Hedong King Li Shouyi.

"Are there any memorials from the King of Hedong in the near future? Get them quickly!"

Wu Zetian's eyes were fixed on the content of the memorial, but he said hurriedly.

Seeing this, the imperial female officer did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly went to Neizhi hall to ask, and sure enough, she brought several copies of the memorial.After Wu Zetian finished reading in turn, his brows and eyes were relaxed, and he burst into laughter and said, "Fortunately, there is such a beautiful grandson! The Chinese envoy is dispatched, and the King of Hedong is urgently called to see him!"

Chapter 0158 lack of people at the banquet, Wang can make up for it

This time, the riots that spread to the whole city were also unavoidable in Luxinfang.Even because Fang District is located in the remote southeast corner, the impact may be more than other areas.

Probably because Zuojin Wuwei street gangsters gathered around Luxinfang before, a group of thugs mistakenly thought that there was some kind of armory in Luxinfang, and suddenly stormed the gate of Luxinfang one night.

Zuojinwuwei street gangsters were severely lacking in resilience. When they heard the news and rushed to this place, more than a dozen thugs had already climbed over the walls of the workshop and fled into the workshop.

Although the palace has its own personal guards, in order to avoid suspicion, it can only strictly guard the gate of the mansion.It was not until Li Jingyi, the magistrate of Hegong County, came to the door to ask for help, that Li Tong sent the palace to help the county government officials and the Jinwu Guards sweep up and capture the thugs roaming around.

"Those thugs are really whimsical. They want to conquer Wuhou's shop in the square, collect the equipment and rush out through Yongtongmen, and gather people from outside the city to go south to Fangzhou..."

Yan Yanfan, who was in charge of helping to arrest the thugs, returned to the palace to report the situation after escorting the criminals to the county.

After listening to it, Li Tong also had mixed feelings in his heart.On the one hand, it is natural to worry that people in the city are uncertain, and the situation will be in danger of getting out of control.On the other hand, I am also emotional. Those courtiers who are interested in Li Tang naturally look forward to the emperor Li Dan in the palace, while these market heroes who want to make great achievements are eager to welcome back the King of Luling.

Regardless of the sensitivity and danger involved, Li Tong wanted to ask these thugs, why didn't you settle for the second best and choose to support the young king of Fangli?Is it because you want to grab credit and take a self-driving tour by the way?

But I have to admit that even if the current situation in the hearts of the people is chaotic, it is just a situational game between Wu Zetian's supporters and her two sons. As for the others, they are still so cool.

Due to Li Tong's black hands, the riot in the first year of Yongchang was quite different from the original history, and Li Tong was also quite worried.Although the group of trash from the Wu family took over the city defense forces of the left and right Jinwu Guards, they couldn't do it at all and were in chaos.

Li Tong was most worried that if the situation continued to deteriorate, maybe his grandma would choose to use Qiu Shenji again.Once Qiu Shenji regains power, the situation will be even more unfavorable to their family.

Just when he was considering whether to use some more drastic means to attract his grandma's attention, the palace envoy finally arrived at the palace in Luxinfang under the escort of a team of imperial guards.

There is nothing to be too long-winded next, Li Tong hurriedly changed into his uniform, and brought a few utensils prepared during this time, before leaving, he ordered Li Shouli to take care of the house, and then hurried to the senior expert under the guidance of the palace envoy .

When the team reached Waifang Street in Nanshi, Li Tong saw a group of soldiers escorting some prisoners towards Nanshi, so he asked, "What's going on?"

The palace emissary naturally didn't know, but they still asked people to inquire, and came back shortly after and reported: "So the Hengshan King's family is involved in conspiracy..."

Hearing this, Li Tong felt awe-inspiring, and his face became a little ugly.After seeing this, the palace envoy stepped forward and said, "May I ask the king, do you order the prisoners to stay away temporarily..."

Li Tong shook his head when he heard the words, he didn't want to argue with the dead, but he just ordered: "Turn to another street."

This idea is definitely not a sarcastic comment, but it is more sensitive to the cruelty of political struggle.The Li Jue who was being sent to Nanshi for execution was far more noble than Li Tong in terms of status. He was the eldest grandson of his great-grandfather Li Shimin and the son of Li Chengqian.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, all under the power and position are dead.Before life and death, there is no distinction between noble and humble.It is the most precious portrayal of the scene in front of you to die to leave bones, and to be born with tails painted in the middle.

When he got off the car in front of Duanmen, Li Tong's thoughts were still immersed in the scene he saw outside Nanshi, and then he walked through the imperial city and entered the palace under the guidance of the palace envoy.On the way, it was inevitable to meet some officials in various government offices who were waiting for an edict. When those officials saw Li Tong entering the palace, they were very curious, and they stood on the left side of the road to watch and discuss.

Walking to the back bedroom of the Ming Hall, the palace envoy arranged Li Tong in a side room, and then hurried back to report.Sitting in the room, Li Tong waved his hand to decline the eunuch's food and beverage service. He was sensitively aware of the frequent visits and departures of the nearby palace officials, and it is conceivable that his grandma must be very busy at this time.

Originally, Li Tong thought that he would have to wait for a while, but not long after, a palace servant hurried in and said respectfully: "His Majesty the Emperor called the King to see him."

The palace maid who came to report was not the Wei Tuan'er he knew, which made Li Tong slightly relieved.He was not disgusted with Wei Tuan'er, and even had a sense of gratitude all the time, but he also had a headache because of that enthusiasm, and dared not show any intimacy.

Especially every time he sees his grandmother Wu Zetian, Li Tong's heartstrings are tense, as if he is facing an enemy.

Although he can also guess that his grandma is quite helpless in the current urban situation, and the shortcomings of her ability are clearly exposed, but the weakness that cannot be used to actually attack the opponent is not a weakness at all, and these shortcomings are not enough to make him look down on his grandma. The reason, how one's life is still in one's mind.

After arranging his robes a little, Li Tong took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down, and then walked into the hall under the guidance of the maid, not daring to raise his head to look around wantonly. Said: "Chen Shouyi respectfully obeyed the edict, walked in hastily, and paid homage to His Majesty the Divine Emperor."

"The cabinet's private room, the king doesn't have to be polite, just get up and speak."

Wu Zetian's voice was a little hoarse, but after seeing his grandson with a handsome appearance and a respectful posture, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

When Li Tong slowly stood up and stood with her hands down, she didn't make any more greetings, and directly raised the memorial in her hand and said: "Wang recently presented several chapters, and I will see you today when I have time. What kind of scriptures are these sayings in the Sutra?"

Hearing Wu Zetian's straight-forward approach and direct question, Li Tong also quickly replied: "The Ciwu Terrace will be completed soon, and I feel regretful that I want to support my son, but I don't treat my relatives well. Taiwan, to feel the soul and to be comforted. Although mediocre and knowledgeable, with this little sincerity, I am not afraid to show my superficiality. I frequently visit Weiguo Temple to ask the Dharma Master for advice, pick up Buddhist principles and good words, and recite the scriptures hard. I also invite all the members of the palace to visit the countryside in Luli, and occasionally get a stone building with broken scriptures at Longmen..."

"Have you brought the Sutra?"

Wu Zetian interrupted Li Tong again, and asked a little eagerly.

"Buddha's relics are precious, and the ministers dare not reveal them privately. They are contaminated by common dust and enshrined in the Buddhist hall of the mansion. The monks and nuns of the Weiguo Temple are invited to worship day and night, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to ask and appreciate them. In order to identify the Buddha's words Deep meaning, a few slices..."

While Li Tong was talking, he respectfully presented the brocade box he was carrying with him. After Wu Zetian took the brocade box presented by the palace maid, he quickly opened it, looked through the rubbings in it, and first praised the craftsmanship of the rubbings. It's just a compliment to myself, thank you respectfully.

The content of the rubbings is not much, but it has all the necessary elements. The content is mixed with Chinese and Sanskrit.The time, place and characters are all available, clearly pointing out the rationality of Wu Zetian's heroine ruling the country.

After looking through these rubbings, Wu Zetian's eyes were full of joy, but she still looked at Li Tong and asked seriously: "These relics, although they are the main entrance of Buddhism, are regrettably devastated by the years, and there are many defects before and after. With broad knowledge and insights, why did the king say that this is the legacy of the previous Buddha's "Precious Rain Sutra"?"

"Buddhism is profound and beautiful, but mediocrity is difficult to carve. It is a pity that it cannot go deep into the subtlety. The only thing you rely on is the heart. I am fortunate to have this Dharma statement, and I have extensively read the scriptures in the Weiguo Temple. I compare the shape to the meaning, and the effort is worthwhile." Those who are interested, finally compare and select the original version of the isolated Mahayana Buddha Treasure Rain Sutra in the Sanskrit version..."

Wu Zetian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but laughed again after a while: "Praise this 'heart'! There are many people in the world, who are entrusted with tasks, either rely on their talents, or rely on their ingenuity, how many people can be self-defeating?" Do you try to trace the source? Wang Neng painstakingly searched for the source of the Dharma, is it worthwhile? This is clearly a blessing that pays off! The Sanskrit scriptures are in the Weiguo Temple? Please Fa Ming and other great scripture translators enter the palace as soon as possible, and we will discuss it together!"

The palace official led the order and hurried out of the palace. Wu Zetian was in a good mood, and then looked down at King Hedong who stood respectfully in the palace. His brows and eyes were full of kindness and kindness. Take a closer look!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's gentle tone, Li Tong couldn't react for a while, and subconsciously looked up, but saw Wu Zetian's eye sockets were sunken, and her hair was gray and messy. What I saw before was obviously old, so I couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and when I realized it, I hurriedly bowed my head and bowed down.

"I was lucky to see the beauty of the sky a few years ago, and I felt the prosperity, so I lost respect and self-preservation. Why did I lose my alertness today?"

Wu Zetian took this scene into his eyes and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I came to Jufang, only then did I realize that the human affairs are difficult and the situation is various, and it is far from being able to tell the best with clever words. You, I have deep feelings, and I can't choose words to express them. Please forgive me for the crime of aphasia!"

Li Tong dropped his head to the ground, and said in a slightly heavy tone.

After Wu Zetian heard the words, she stood up from the seat, walked out of the imperial case slowly, raised her hand to signal the palace man and said: "Hurry up and help the young king up."

While speaking, she had already walked in front of Li Tong, carefully scrutinized the young king's face, and said after a while: "The entanglement of the situation is the trouble of ordinary people. My grandson, you shouldn't be troubled by it. Love, don't worry about it." Proclaim it in words, but it can be attached to things. I have many sons and grandchildren, and those who can praise goodness and goodness are among them."

"I'm honored and apprehensive..."

Li Tong hurriedly bowed his head again, avoiding Wu Zetian's scrutinizing gaze at the same time.

Wu Zetian took a step forward, caressing the top of his hair, and her tone became softer: "The lord of the world, although he is not trapped by vulgar sentiments, but he is sad and regretful when he sees that there are no people in front of his knees when he is free. Wang Neng It’s not a fluke to make up for this.”

Chapter 0159

Wu Zetian was also very satisfied with this grandson who was able to offer Buddhist teachings at such a critical moment.

She already had a good impression of the young king, and now she is full of love for him. Therefore, during the time waiting for the monks of Weiguo Temple to enter the palace, she did not neglect this grandson, but sat at the same table very rarely, with him Li Tong chatted about some gossip.

Although the topic was light, Li Tong answered cautiously.To be honest, he was not very happy to have this kind of communication with his grandma. It was not a normal grandparent-grandson relationship, and Wu Zetian was sensitive and suspicious. Even if he asked a very relaxed question, Li Tong had to think carefully when answering. It is very tiring to maintain this kind of human harmony.

According to Li Tong's thoughts, I have done you a big favor this time, you can quickly add an official to me, and then hurry up and go about your own work, and you don't have to think about sending care and warmth to orphans. Brain, I can unravel myself.

But he also understands that it doesn't matter what he thinks. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king. It is right for his grandma to ignore him before, but now he can only accept the enthusiasm and care.

In fact, regardless of the embarrassing current situation and their respective identities, Li Tong thinks that Wu Zetian is also a very attractive person. When chatting, he has a wide range of topics and delicate human sophistication. When chatting with such a person, there is no need to worry about topics. Scarcity and silence, even if it is an ordinary incident, can make people feel full of wit and humor.

For example, the topic we talked about just now extends from the fanbai harmony used in his earlier expansion of "Vientiane" Daqu, to the stories of Chen Si, Wang Cao Zhi, and even the characters of the Six Dynasties. He has quick thinking and clear organization. I feel that I can't keep up with his grandma's topic line of thought.

For this, Li Tong also had to sigh with emotion, his grandma's personal quality is really strong, if there is such an outstanding parent in the family, if he can restrain his desire for power a little bit, but choose to be dutiful to his children and grandchildren. Teaching is definitely a blessing for the family, and all descendants who have the qualities of a middleman will be able to produce talents in large numbers.

At least Li Tong was chatting with his grandma for a period of time, and felt that his vision had broadened a lot, and he had a more thorough understanding of some issues. Being able to listen to the hadith at the meeting, I realized more deeply that I am shallow, my thoughts cannot be followed by one or two, and I feel that the previous years' knowledge is barren..."

After Wu Zetian heard the words, he laughed: "Those who can benefit others may not necessarily be knowledgeable. At your age, you are already lacking the accumulation of time. If you are more knowledgeable than the elders, isn't that humiliating yourself? The quality of a person does not depend on The amount of knowledge depends on whether you know the righteousness or not. Ten thousand volumes of rotten words are not as good as true knowledge. The old Confucian scholars with white hair also open their mouths to beg for food. When a young deer takes shape, it needs to scream for milk. It can be seen that although all things have different forms, they are not only pretentious, There is also a law from a..."

For such metaphysical and ideological topics, Li Tong did not dare to answer easily, but listened respectfully.

No matter how he has no bottom line, he is too embarrassed to open his mouth and say that licking my grandma is my true knowledge patriarchy. Other than that, any answer is a bit inappropriate.Even if I nod and agree that my values ​​are highly consistent with grandma's, the forms of all things are pretentious, and they can be used as playthings by grasping the gate of life.Wu Zetian really wants to ask, do you think the same?I was dumbfounded at the time.

So this kind of chatting is really tiring, and Li Tong just listens less and talks more. Taking advantage of Wu Zetian's happy mood and not defending himself, he can spy on his grandma's true mood so that he can respond more accurately in the future.

Although it was an urgent order from the God Emperor, going to and from Weiguo Temple had to traverse the entire city of God. When the monks from Weiguo Temple arrived, more than an hour had passed.

The monks of Weiguo Temple entered the hall and brought the Sanskrit version of the Baoyu Sutra collected in the temple.Wu Zetian showed the rubbings and ordered to read the Buddhist scriptures immediately. Sure enough, in the first volume of scriptures, many coincidences were found in the shape and meaning of the characters.The monks translated the Sanskrit of the relevant chapters when they were in the temple, and the content was indeed similar to that on the rubbings.

This is also a matter of course, no matter how ignorant Li Tong is of Buddhist principles, he will certainly not make mistakes in such a small detail if he wants to do this kind of thing. The content of the scriptures he fabricated was originally based on this Buddhist scripture.

As for the meaning of the translation of the relevant scriptures of the Precious Rain Sutra in the Sanskrit version, it is not important. If the content cannot be translated to suit your wishes, what use is it for the country to support you monks?

Here again, I have to say that the so-called compilation of Buddhist scriptures is originally a process of adding, deleting, and tampering.The spread of Buddhism to the East has continued to grow and develop since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, especially in the troubled times of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there were deeds of emperors and Buddhas in both the north and the south.

From another perspective, this is because the Confucian classics of the Han Dynasty have reached this stage, and there is not much room for further development, and the right to interpret the classics has basically formed a monopoly. The so-called elites are to some extent scholars. valve.

Buddhism, as a kind of theory, was first carried forward by the monarchs of the Hu regime, and accumulated a considerable mass base.In the subsequent rise and fall of the royal industry, many emperors keenly discovered that the use of monks can effectively avoid many ideological restrictions, and naturally it is inevitable to use them to varying degrees.

This kind of trade-offs, in layman's terms, is to open up a new battlefield, bring in traditional intellectuals and elites, and then defeat you.A group of masters who practiced hard punched Nanshan and kicked Beihai, but they raised their hands and shot you.

Now that Li Tong not only pointed out the source of the scriptures, but also provided a simplified translation version, it is conceivable that this group of monks are willing to write "Da Yun Jing Yi Shu" such politically speculative things, they are all unscrupulous goods, even if the classics There is no such content in the text, so they have to figure it out!This is the benefit of having the power of interpretation in your own hands.

"Since there is this Mahayana Buddha's words, why didn't you and other monks make offerings early?"

When Wu Zetian saw these exhibits spread out, he was delighted for a moment, and then became furious, pointing at the monks of Weiguo Temple with a halberd, his expression was already full of unkindness.

It should be noted that the direction of "Buddha Says Precious Rain Sutra" is much clearer than that of "Da Yun Jing Yi Shu". Continent, but the scriptures themselves do not have such detailed records, which can be said to be undocumented and far-fetched.

However, the scriptures in the "Buddha Says Precious Rain Sutra" clearly stated that this goddess of pure light will be transformed into the emperor of Maha Kingdom in the northeast of Nanzhanbu Prefecture 500 years after the Buddha's Nirvana.

Faming and other monks felt like crying after hearing this, because the Buddhist scriptures in the Weiguo Temple itself were overwhelming, and even the most knowledgeable monks would not dare to say that they had read all the scriptures and memorized them by heart. The Precious Rain Sutra itself is not a great classic. Before today, even most of them had never heard of this scripture.

Seeing these monks were so anxious that they were speechless, with sweat dripping from their heads, Li Tong was also secretly happy.He had long seen that this group of monks was not pleasing to the eye, and the asking price was too dark, tens of thousands of dollars for a single transaction.He went back and forth several times just to find this Precious Rain Sutra among those Buddhist scriptures, and sent in 10,000+ money.

But right now is not the time to take the opportunity to beat this group of monks. After all, his workmanship is still too rough, and these monks will continue to improve in the future.And more importantly, he wanted to use this incident to completely kill Qiu Shenji.

So he stepped forward and said: "This negligence is not the responsibility of the mages. I recently went to and from the Weiguo Temple and looked through the scriptures. Most of the scriptures I saw were only the titles and were lost in the volumes. Therefore, I asked the wise people in the temple to know about the temple. There are also many difficulties. Weiguo Temple is a famous temple in the country, a resort of Shamen, and its Dharma treasures are even richer than that of Daci'en Temple in Xijing. Many wealthy families in the city have borrowed scriptures and have not returned them for a long time, and they dare not rush to ask. Feeling this, I dared to write a letter a few days ago..."

Hearing what Li Tong said, Wu Zetian immediately connected the previous events.After all, this grandson is cautious in his speech, and the number of times he wrote letters is not many. Before that, she had read the relevant memorials in the recent period, and she was naturally impressed by this.

"This "Precious Rain Sutra" is just in the sequence of return. Only by searching the scrolls can I find the scriptures. Otherwise, even if I get the scriptures by chance, I am afraid that the isolated traces will be difficult to prove, so I dare not take the liberty to present it with suspicious traces Pet."

Wu Zetian first praised King Hedong for his prudence and thoroughness, and then he couldn't help reprimanding these monks for their sloppy and careless work. Which one will not return the borrowed scriptures? Submit the excerpts quickly! The Dharma Collection of Great Virtue is for the salvation of all sentient beings, and it is stored in private rooms. If you violate the law and make mistakes, you should not be lightly forgiven!"

When he finally got to this point, Li Tong no longer concealed his purpose, so he bowed down again and said: "The mages are busy compiling the scriptures, so I am afraid they don't know about such trivial matters in the temple. I have been tied here for a long time, and I often stand outside the scripture hall to treat you poorly." Going back to the scriptures, I searched them day by day, and I got a little impression. On the day I got the scriptures, there were two families who returned the scriptures, the son of the temple, the good man Qiu Sicheng, and the believer woman..."

"These two? Just these two?"
