Only then was the shopkeeper completely relieved, and hurried to the back kitchen to bring out a few plates of small snacks.

There was no one else in the private room, so the address naturally had to be changed.

After the shopkeeper knelt on the ground and made a big salute, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, these are our family's signatures, and the young master has praised them!"

Li Er's eyes lit up.

"Liu Bai has praised you?"

He twisted a mung bean cake, put it in his mouth, and kept nodding.

"The taste is really good, Guanyin servant girl, you should try it too!"

Concubine Yang had been vegetarian all her life, and saw that the mung bean cake was a bit greasy, so she didn't go to get it.

The shopkeeper whispered: "Your Majesty, you can use some. Our dim sum is never meaty, and the best tea is added in it. I think you like it."

Concubine Yang twisted up a piece in doubt, took a bite, and couldn't stop talking.

Seeing this, Li Er said: "These snacks taste really good, let's send some to the palace!"

Great joy for the shopkeeper!

With Li Er's words, the reputation of this newly opened restaurant has been established!

thump—

But at this moment, there was a loud noise, which sounded like it was from the private room on the second floor.

The shopkeeper's face changed, he hurriedly made a complaint, and ran out to check in a hurry.

Liu Jin was also taken aback, and subconsciously stood in front of Li Er.

Not long after, there was an angry shout, which sounded much closer than before, and it was even possible that the person had already arrived outside the private room!

Li Er frowned, "You don't need to guard, go outside and see what happened!"

Chapter 424 What a pure place of Buddhism, what a group of people who are not contaminated by the world

The sound of swords colliding came from outside, it should be the Jin Wuwei dressed as ordinary people made a move.

The shouts are getting louder, but it sounds like there are not many people on the other side.

Li Er was very calm, and even had a leisurely heart, eating the mung bean crisps on the table.

He has experienced too many storms and waves in his life, and today this is just a small scene.

Empress Changsun didn't respond either, she was always comforting Concubine Yin and Concubine Yang who were a little flustered.

"It's just some young people, nothing to worry about."

As soon as Li Er finished speaking, the voices outside also stopped.

Liu Jin opened the door and walked in, bowed her body, and said, "Your Majesty, the thieves have been caught, they are four great monks!"

Li Er was very surprised by the thief's identity.

"Monk?"

"The Jinwu Guards have escorted them to a secret location for interrogation, and it won't take long for the results to come out!"

Li Er thought for a while, and said: "Call a group of people to send the queen and two noble concubines back to the palace! Take me to have a look!"

Empress Changsun suddenly said: "Your Majesty should not take risks!"

Li Er shook his head.

"If what I expected is correct, they were fooled and found the wrong target!"

People in Buddhism, it's too late to curry favor with Li Er, how could he come to assassinate him?

Besides, the news of Li Er's departure from the palace is extremely secretive, so how could people from the Buddhist sect know about it?

He went out of the palace to play happily, but was disturbed by others, Li Er was extremely upset.

He had to find out the truth and take good care of those great monks before he could relieve his hatred!

After watching Empress Changsun and others go back to the palace, Li Er, led by Liu Jin, came to a small courtyard at the end of Zhuque Street.

This small courtyard is Baiqisi's temporary stronghold, specially used for some shady things.

Few people know that Li Er stayed in this small courtyard for one night before he planned to attack Xuanwu Gate!

Coming here again, Li Er felt a little bit embarrassed.

Went through several houses in a detour, and came to a secret room located underground.

Although Baiqisi was based in the Tiance Mansion during the Wude period and was affiliated to the military, the organizational system was quite different from the military.

They form a small team of 50 people, and each team does not know each other's identities. They are directly under the eight Sima, and above the eight Sima, there are four assistants, as well as two commanders.

Standing in the secret room is the commander of Baiqi Division, Qian Shi'an!

When Qian Shi'an heard that Li Er had been assassinated, he broke out in a cold sweat. Pegasus rushed to this small courtyard, and just after asking about the origin of the incident, Li Er came.

"See Your Majesty!"

Qian Shi'an took seven or eight members of the Baiqi Division and knelt on the ground to welcome Li Er's arrival.

"Do you understand?" Li Er asked expressionlessly.

Qian Shi'an and Liu Jin were old acquaintances, and secretly raised his head to glance at Liu Jin, seeing Liu Jin shaking his head imperceptibly, knowing that Li Er was not frightened, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Report to Your Majesty, it has been found out that these four great monks are from Yunlin Temple!"

Li Er was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Yunlin Temple is far away in Hangzhou, how could he come to Chang'an and assassinate himself?

"reason!"

Qian Shi'an turned his head and glanced at a member of the Baiqi Division.

The man Langsheng said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, these four great monks originally intended to assassinate Yuan Tiangang, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, but they mistakenly recognized the wrong person!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, Li Er immediately understood.

Some time ago, the news that Xuanzang was about to return to Chang'an was widely circulated.

The Taoist disciples in Chang'an City couldn't sit still for a long time.

Later, with the help of Shangguanyi, a student of the academy, he made up a few stories, and the believers did not lose a lot.

Because of this, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has become more and more irresistible.

It's better in Chang'an City, but in other places, Buddhist disciples and Taoist disciples have already caught fire.

It is not uncommon to beat people's brains out.

It seems that those four great monks are the 'dead men' sent by Buddhism.

Li Er smiled coldly.

"What a pure place of Buddhism, what a group of people who are not contaminated by the secular world!"

Those who are familiar with Li Er will know that he is really moved and angry!

In other places, no matter how fierce the Buddhist disciples and Taoist disciples fought, Li Er didn't bother to care.

He regards himself as the god of ordinary people. To put it bluntly, he covers whoever pays him taxes.

But Buddhism and Taoism not only do not produce, but also occupy a large amount of land.

If Liu Bai hadn't seized almost all the farmland from both sides of Buddhism and Taoism, Li Er would have done something to these two families long ago!

But now, they have all come to Chang'an City, how can Li Er bear it?

Most importantly, these great monks really did the assassination!

"Liu Jin!"

Liu Jin leaned forward.

Li Er said lightly: "Go and find out, has Yuan Tiangang been to that restaurant too!"

No need to check, Liu Jin has already inquired about it.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang had already reserved a banquet in the restaurant to entertain the Taoist elders from other places. It was the private room you entered. It was only because yesterday, Your Majesty ordered the Qintian Supervisor to judge whether it will be sunny or rainy tomorrow. did not come!"

Li Er nodded, pointed at Qian Shi'an, and said, "Take me in to have a look!"

Qian Shi'an quickly pushed open the door of the secret room and led Li Er in.

This night, Chang'an City was like a grand carnival.

But behind the scenes, I don't know how many undercurrents are quietly surging.

People who are well-informed, although they don't know about Li Er's almost assassination, they also heard that Buddhism and Taoism have engaged in a lot of tricks.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has reached the point where there is no end to death!

In order to compete for believers, they abandoned the indifference of monks, and even senior monks and Taoists began to move around.

And when Liu Bai got the news, he just glanced at it and burned the secret letter.

In the study, only Wang Shouren sat opposite Liu Bai.

"Master, our plan has worked!"

Liu Bai sneered and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that group of stupid bald donkeys to go out of their way to assassinate Yuan Tiangang, but it's their bad luck that they bumped into His Majesty."

He pondered for a while, and said: "Let our people withdraw. Looking at the current situation, the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism no longer needs to be intensified. We just need to wait and see the good show, and reap the benefits of fishing at that time." ,Will suffice!"

Wang Shouren took the order and left.

Liu Bai stayed alone in the study, quietly looking at another secret letter spread out on the table.

The signature of this secret letter is impressively followed by Xuanzang, all the way through the Western Regions, to Tianzhu's Jinyiwei hundred households, Zhou Cang!

The whole piece of paper is only a few words.

"Tomorrow, at three quarters of the hour, Golden Light Gate!"

Chapter 425

The prediction given by Qin Tianjian was not accurate.

They said that the sun should be shining brightly on the day of the queen's birthday, but the reality slapped Daomen in the face.

In Chang'an City, it was snowing heavily!

The emperor was not angry, nor did he blame Qin Tianjian.

Just because the empress said, 'Concubines like to see snow scenes the most', no one dared to touch the snow in the entire palace.

The Chang'an government office only cleaned up the snow on Suzaku Avenue, and kept other places as they were.

Before dawn, the common people in Chang'an City spontaneously walked out of their homes.

With Suzaku Avenue as the center, the markets on the east and west sides were also crowded!

But the strange thing is that with so many people, the order is not chaotic.

At other times, the common people would be mobilized in large numbers, which would definitely attract the attention of the palace.

Jin Wuwei will definitely take over Chang'an city defense to prevent mutiny!

However, the palace was exceptionally quiet.

What should the Jinwu guards do, what are they still doing, even the inner guards on the palace wall did not feel the slightest surprise.

The sun in winter always comes out later.

Until the hour of the hour, the genius was slightly polished.

Both sides of Suzaku Street were already crowded with people.

Occasionally, a few children could be seen running out of the crowd, but they were soon caught back by their parents.

There are at least nearly 10 people on Suzaku Street alone!

Although many people were talking in low voices, their gazes always looked towards the city gate from time to time.

At two o'clock in the morning, the sky is bright!
