It was Sima Chengzhen who came, he belonged to the type who looks like a real god at first glance, from every angle, he looks like a fairy.He is after the Sima family of the Jin Dynasty, even if the Sima family is a mess as the emperor, in this respect, the old Zhao family can stand upright in front of them, but in terms of demeanor, the people of the Sima family are influenced by the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The edification of the atmosphere is definitely very handy.
Sima Chengzhen was dressed very plainly, just in a cyan Taoist robe, just like an ordinary Taoist priest. He didn't come here as himself. To be honest, Buddhists are staring at him closely now. After all, Wu Zetian is so old , Although looking at the body is still healthy, but the emperor, once he feels the signs of aging, one by one will naturally want to seek longevity and immortality.This kind of thing is also human nature, and it is the same in future generations. Many elderly people, when they are older, their living conditions are better, and their lives are enjoyable, they start to maintain their health, hoping to live longer. What terminal illness, even if they know it will cost a lot of money, but no one wants to die, they will try their best to treat it.And when the living conditions are relatively poor, many young people will give up treatment when they get terminally ill, let alone the elderly. I'd rather die.
Even if the common people are like this, as emperors, they are in charge of the power of the world, and they are aloof. People like them are even more reluctant to die, wishing to be a thousand-year-old 8-year-old tortoise!Although Wu Zetian has never shown such signs before, she will be seventy in a few years, and seventy is rare in her life. Why are Li Tang's fans tolerant of Wu Zetian's backdoor listing? Do you think that at Wu Zetian's age, it is estimated that he will die after getting too addicted?That's all to let her shine for a few years!
But people who are old and mature naturally know that after Wu Zetian really takes power, he will only be more unwilling to die!Therefore, she must also want to live forever.And Buddhism is really lacking in this aspect.Like the Buddhism in Xianxia novels, one by one said that they value the physical body so much that they must create some kind of indestructible body, and they always talk about the golden body of Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism still says that, the flesh body It's just a skin, and theirs is not this at all.Because the very core point of Buddhist teachings is reincarnation, so they will not pursue longevity. Death is just the beginning of the next life.
But Taoism is different. Taoism doesn’t cultivate the afterlife, what they cultivate is this life. Therefore, Taoism has been seeking immortality since ancient times. What about the practice method?Everything is for longevity.Even if the Taoism has been so far, it seems that the people who have gained longevity in the Zhenger Bajing are all in legends, like the kind where the king of Huainan ate the golden elixir and lifted his house and flew up, and even brought chickens and dogs with him. A little further away is the Yellow Emperor Ascension, Lao Tzu left Hanguan in the west, Ziqi came [-] miles east, and then the matter of ascension... In short, many times, it is said that so-and-so has lived forever and become a fairy, that is just a legend.However, Taoist sects don’t worry about this now, among other things, Sun Simiao, who passed away a few years ago, was said in the propaganda that he was born in the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to this calculation, Sun Simiao is a hundred years old!
In addition, among Taoist sects, those famous and surnamed guru-level figures, as long as they are not the kind who swallow the golden elixir with nothing to do, living to the age of seven or eighty is a basic operation.Therefore, for princes and nobles, Daomen is the group of people who have mastered the code of longevity.
Wu Zetian wanted to consolidate his authority. Buddhism is really good at building momentum, but after Wu Zetian's position is stabilized, the role of Buddhism will be negligible. They can't help govern the country and the world, and Wu Zetian has to give money to others. Therefore, it is very normal for Wu Zetian to seek help from Taoism in private.
Under such circumstances, the Buddhist sect naturally has to be on guard. Therefore, the key figures of all the Taoist sects are more closely watched.
Therefore, after receiving the greeting card sent by Li Yue, Sima Chengzhen was ready to come and visit in person.Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there is a saying of Fulongting.Back then, Buddhism supported Yang Jian. During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, the power of Buddhism rose sharply. As a result, there was a shrewd Yang Guang, who was not someone who would be fooled by Buddhism. But the many benefits that Yang Jian promised to Buddhism were canceled by Yang Guang.
Therefore, Buddhism turned around to support the Li family. Who knows, whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, they are the kind of people who turn their faces faster than turning over books. inside.As for the Daoist sect, they also put in a lot of effort in the process of being in charge of the Li family. Among other things, in the Daoist sect, many masters at that time were from everyone, and they turned around from it. Under Li Tang's command.However, at that time, the people who led the Taoist sect were the vanguard of destroying Buddhism. Therefore, after Li Tang was established, they desperately exerted influence on Li Yuan and Li Shimin to suppress the Buddhist sect.
In the current situation, Taoist sects in the Central Plains naturally have to dormant obediently, and even Sima Chengzhen is thinking about giving up Songshan temporarily. After all, Shaolin Temple, the ancestor of Zen, is in Songshan, and Sima Chengzhen is not as good as Shaolin Temple. There are so many people, so many things can't be done under the eyes of others.
As a result, after accepting Li Yue's post, Sima Chengzhen came up with a hexagram on a whim, but it was the hexagram image of a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss.
Sima Chengzhen suddenly couldn't sit still. Compared with Buddhism, an outsider, Taoism actually didn't have much pioneering spirit. To be precise, before Buddhism was passed to the Central Plains Dynasty, Taoism was not a religion, but a typical school, but because Because of Dong Zhongshu, the obvious learning had to become hidden learning and even metaphysics.
Regarding how Taoism preaches, everyone is actually having a headache. They want to be down-to-earth. Without a suitable opportunity, they can't modify their own teachings. In other words, they have actually revised it. , the Taoist sect is going to make a god to save suffering, but the problem is, they will distribute it!The Daoist side can't say with the cheek that as long as you believe in it, you can become a fairy!It's so easy to become a fairy, what kind of Tao do we cultivate?
Sima Chengzhen thought that there might be a turning point for Li Yue, so he sneaked down the mountain while everyone's attention was on Wu Zetian's enthronement, and then ran to Li Yue's side.To be honest, this is actually a bit impolite, after all, it is already very late.According to the normal social etiquette of this era, most of the door-to-door visits will be in the morning, at least before noon, that is, those who have a very deep friendship can ignore this unspoken rule.However, Sima Chengzhen could only do it brazenly when encountering such a matter related to the future of the Daoist sect.
However, Li Yue was not that particular about etiquette, he asked Yang Yao to rest first, changed his clothes quickly, and went to see Sima Chengzhen in the study.
Sima Chengzhen was also a sensible person. Before Li Yue could speak, he got up and saluted, and said, "It's really impolite for the impoverished Taoist to visit. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Yue hurriedly said: "Why is the real person like this? It's me and other ordinary people who disturb the real person's tranquility!"
Sima Chengzhen didn't play any nonsense with Li Yue, he shook his head directly and said: "What is quiet, these are all deceiving people who don't understand, like the king, the way that should be done, how can this dispute of orthodoxy be tolerated?" You have to say the word quiet!" At this point, Sima Chengzhen secretly sighed again.He is indeed devoted to Taoism in his heart, and his heart is full of the matter of his attainment of Taoism and immortality, but he shoulders the Taoist lineage of Shangqing, and is one of the leading figures among the various branches of Taoism. Even if he is a little younger, his qualifications A little superficial, but since his master became immortal, he has to take on this responsibility.Therefore, he had to participate in the orthodox dispute.
Seeing that Sima Chengzhen is also a straightforward person, Li Yue was also relieved at the moment. He was afraid that he would meet the kind of person who put on airs and put on a look that he was really an extraordinary and real god, whether it was pretending or not. I really think so, for Li Yue, such a person is the type that is difficult to deal with.With Sima Chengzhen being so forthright, the chances of cooperation increased.
Therefore, Li Yue didn't hide it, and directly stated his plan: "The real person should also know that in the past few years, the lonely king is going to officially transfer the seal to Ryukyu. Due to various reasons, the immigrants from Ryukyu are now , either the Yue people, or the Yi people in Tiannan, and some are the Tubo people who migrated from the plateau. As for the Han people, the proportion here is really not that high! Each ethnic group has its own Belief, for the lonely king, these beliefs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and some of them do not conform to the wishes of the lonely king. The fleet of Tianzhu, aside from Tianzhu, Buddhism is on the decline there, and the main believer is Brahmanism, while on the Tianfang side, the monotheism they believe in will inevitably be distorted due to various reasons in the process of spreading. There will inevitably be some conflicts in Ryukyu and other places, so the lonely king thought of asking for help!"
In fact, Li Yue has thought a lot about religion these days. Just believing in Haotian and Sanqing is actually not enough, because their personalities are too high. Groundedness, like Haotian, has always been a belief at the national level. The imperial court sacrifices to heaven every year, and it is Haotian who sacrifices. As for Sanqing, it is also the supreme god of Taoism.But for Li Yue, he still thinks that some more down-to-earth gods are more reliable, such as the Land City God. If Li Yue's territory needs to vigorously develop maritime trade in the future, it is best to add a sea god to the object of worship.Now the belief of Mazu has not yet appeared, so just get a sea dragon king!
These beliefs are definitely impossible in monotheism. Buddhism is very inclusive. Even heretics and monsters can become Buddhist guardians in their teachings. In the era of pioneering and enterprising, in this way, one can only rely on Taoism.
Therefore, Li Yue simply said: "The lonely king plans to set up land in various settlements in Ryukyu, and set up city gods in each city. Go, the only way to meet this need is Taoism!"
The priesthood of the Land City God did not appear at this time. In fact, the first City God was established by Liu Bang. In order to save him, Ji Xin disguised himself as him, and finally died on the battlefield. Liu Bang was grateful for Ji Xin’s contribution. After he ascended the throne, he enshrined Ji Envelope as the city god of the capital and enshrined it in Chang'an plastic temple, and even asked other places to build town god temples to worship Ji Xin. However, after the fall of the Han Dynasty, Ji Xin's faith also declined. Chang'an still has some.The same is true for the land gods. They used to be called the gods of the society. In the Shinto system, they were still relatively high-ranking, but they have been continuously degraded, and now they have become small gods at the grassroots level in various places.
But this kind of belief was not looked down upon by Taoists in the past. For example, the belief of the land god, under normal circumstances, there would not even be temple blessings.
And Li Yue's idea is to formalize the god of the land, just like the Japanese kingdom of later generations, where the god of land is in charge of the burial of the local people. Of course, it will not be a mass cemetery. If you are too old, you should set up a spiritual seat in the land god and replace it with a small spiritual card. After passing through the land temple, the process of death is considered complete.In addition, the land god's main job should be harvesting, and other things like marriage and childbirth should also be managed, which can easily crowd out other beliefs.
When Li Yue told Sima Chengzhen what he thought, Sima Chengzhen was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, his eyes lit up. Isn't this the best way for the Daoist sect to sink to the grassroots level?No matter how good the Buddhist sect is, it is impossible to snatch it into the village. A village cannot afford a temple, but a temple or something like that, a temple is enough to take care of it, and at most one or two boys, three people, or even There is no need for the believers below to offer anything more. A temple property of [-] to [-] mu is enough for the normal operation of the land temple. In addition, the villagers have to offer some things such as weddings and funerals. Therefore, Enough to take care of the earth temple.
Thinking of this, Sima Chengzhen immediately got up, and gave Li Yue another Daoist gift: "Thank you, the king, for your advice. I am grateful to the poor Daoist. If it is useful for Daomen, Daomen should do the work of dogs and horses!"
When Li Yue thought of this at the beginning, he knew that the Daoist sect would definitely agree, so he also laughed: "If that's the case, then I will have to trouble the real person to help lead the way!"
"This is the duty of a poor Taoist. Your Majesty is too polite!" Sima Chengzhen could hardly keep his temper at the moment, and his face was full of joy. If it weren't for the time, Sima Chengzhen Chengzhen can immediately order someone to send a message to Zhongnan Mountain and other Taoist tribes.
After reaching a consensus with Sima Chengzhen, Li Yue chatted with him for a while, but he was confused by the mysterious truths Sima Chengzhen said, and suddenly couldn't sit still!Li Yue can still know a little bit about materialism philosophy with the other party in vernacular, but for a person like Sima Chengzhen who can almost establish a sect in the Taoist sect, Li Yue, a half-assed person, naturally can't talk about it. Now, he regrets that he didn't practice his words on the Internet in his previous life, otherwise, even if he doesn't understand, he can say a few words!
Li Yue ordered his servants to arrange for Sima Chengzhen to rest in the outer courtyard, and he went back to the main courtyard. Yang Yao was still waiting for him. Seeing that Li Yue came in with a relaxed expression, Yang Yao stood up and asked, "It seems, Did it go well?"
Li Yue nodded, and did not call the waiter. She changed her clothes, then wiped her face with the towel that she asked someone to prepare, sat down beside Yang Yao, and said, "Originally It's a matter of mutual benefit, Ziwei is not a fool, so naturally he is willing!"
Yang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I just thought that Ryukyu is a land of alienation after all, so it inevitably made them have some doubts!"
Li Yue chuckled and said, "People from the Buddhist sect have spread their preaching to the grasslands and plateaus of the Western Regions. If they don't want to make progress, they will just guard their own one-third of an acre of land, and they will soon be forced to go to the mountains by the Buddhist sect. !Although there are many emperors who seek longevity, relying on the master, although they can prosper for a while, but the emperor's longevity, I read the history books, except for the yellow emperor who is not sure whether it is true or not, who else? It’s just a mirror image, and if something goes wrong like Taizong, it will be even more troublesome! So, instead of thinking about the elixir all day long, it’s better to go out honestly! Besides, the Ryukyu side Now it is also the territory of Zhuxia, why is it a land of alienation? To be honest, it is much stronger than the grassland and plateau!"
Seeing Li Yue's happy words, Yang Yao also laughed: "Anyway, this matter is finally done, so it's also a matter of concern! Originally, we said that we would go to Songshan Mountain sometime after the Empress ascended the throne. For those who paid a visit, now that Master Ziwei has come over in person, that will save such a thing, so when shall we return to Quanzhou?"
Li Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "As soon as possible, we don't want to get involved in those messy things. If we stay in Chang'an, we will inevitably be involved. So, after a few days, we will write a letter to say goodbye, just say we are not at ease. Two children!"
After hesitating for a while, Yang Yao asked again: "What about Taiping?"
Li Yue suddenly had a headache, and said helplessly: "After all, we are just uncles and aunts, and we can't make decisions about peace matters!"
Yang Yao sighed lightly, and said, "However, Xue Shao and several other children are with us!"
Li Yue exhaled and said: "In this kind of matter, the main thing to consider is peace. If she insists, then what about His Majesty? His Majesty is certainly decisive, but she has always intended to protect her daughter. !"
Yang Yao lowered her voice and said, "I heard people say that His Majesty wants Taiping to reconcile Xue Shao and marry Wu Youji!"
Li Yue was stunned: "It shouldn't be, Wu Youji already has a wife and children!"
Yang Yao snorted and said, "For Your Majesty, this is nothing! She can make peace and separation, and naturally Wu Youji can also make peace! Wu Youji's first wife is not from a family background, but from the Wu family. Men, if you can be a real princess, what is it to sacrifice a wife!" Yang Yao looked down on the Wu family very much.
This matter is really very possible, Li Yue thought about it for a while, then shook her head secretly, if Xue Shao died, this marriage might still be possible, the problem is that Xue Shao is still alive, and he is not on Wu Zetian's territory, She couldn't find a hostage even if she wanted to blackmail her daughter, so she couldn't still use Xue's family to blackmail Taiping, that would be too lowly.
But this matter is not certain, Wu Zetian has always done things by unscrupulous means, she thinks it is for the sake of peace, so she will definitely stick to it to the end.
"Forget it, let's go back and ask what Taiping's idea is, don't let us be filled with righteous indignation and wishful thinking, but Taiping has other ideas!" Li Yue shook his head and said.
Yang Yao nodded and said, "That's true. After all, the queen mother has become the emperor, and now Taiping is about to catch up with the emperor's successor. Maybe Taiping has other ideas!"
Neither Li Yue nor Yang Yao believed that Taiping would really be indifferent to that position. If this opportunity had never occurred, then Taiping would naturally not think too much about it. However, since he had already had this opportunity, it was hard for Taiping not to have the corresponding thoughts. Come on, under such circumstances, whether Taiping will still miss Xue Shao is still a question.
However, that was Taiping's own choice, and neither Li Yue nor Yang Yao would intervene.
In fact, Taiping was indeed shaken. When she watched her mother step by step step by step to the supreme position in all her attire, Taiping was greatly shocked.In the past, everyone took it for granted that women could only be in the auxiliary position. Since the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, all the emperors have been men, even women like the Empress Dowager Xuan and Empress Lu can only play an auxiliary role. Appearing, of course, when they were in power, they were indeed taking the lead, but after all, they didn't really take that position.
As for the two so-called empresses before, one is just like a joke, and the other is nothing, that is, my mother, who has truly become a female emperor.
It is inevitable for Taiping to ask himself, if he is himself, is he capable of sitting in that position?If Li Hong was still alive, and even Li Xian was in Luoyang, then Taiping would not think so much. The two Li Hongs have always been better. Not very mature, in fact, he has some abilities, but Taiping compares himself with Li Xian and Li Dan, two brothers, and immediately feels that I can do it too!
Therefore, when Wu Zetian summoned Taiping and asked Taiping to reconcile with Xue Shao and marry a certain Wu family, Taiping directly expressed his opposition.
In fact, most of the time, Taiping is still able to understand some of his mother's thoughts.Wu Zetian was in a more active position most of the time, and she was never willing to be manipulated by others. Therefore, her relationship with Li Zhi was often dominated by Wu Zetian.Of course, at that time it was mainly Li Zhi who was willing to cooperate. Li Zhi belonged to the kind of people who could give in a little bit for the sake of face. Besides, he also needed his wife to help him take the blame, showing that he was a little weak. In the current situation, it is because the queen is too strong, and there is nothing I can do!
Therefore, Taiping directly stated at this moment that since he is the daughter of the first empress, his identity as a princess is actually no different from that of a prince. Why should he marry since all princes are concubines? !I already have a husband, this is my original wife, and I don't plan to divorce, this is not good for the children, after all, if this is the case, will these children be counted as the sons or concubines in the future?Even if he wants to marry again, it can only be said to accept another side husband. If the Wu family is willing, they can choose a young hero to be their side husband!
To be honest, Wu Zetian didn't expect Taiping to use this as an argument, she was speechless for a while, and then she appreciated it, and she soon realized that there was nothing wrong with Taiping's idea.That's right, she is the emperor's daughter now, and she also has the right to inherit. Should she marry the Wu family and make a wedding dress for the Wu family?Even with Wu Zetian's heart, she would not want to use her daughter to perfect her natal nephew who is not very close!
However, Wu Zetian also told Taiping bluntly that as a woman, she needs a lot of supporters if she wants to get to her own level, and now, those courtiers support either Li Xian and Li Dan, or the brothers of the Wu family. She can tolerate another queen, so if she can't marry the Wu family, then the road ahead will be very difficult.
Taiping didn't hesitate, and said directly: "If I rely on this to get to the end, then I will definitely be constrained later on. At that time, I have a title, so what else?"
Wu Zetian felt that she needed to look at her daughter with a more fresh perspective. She always thought that this daughter was smart, but it was inevitable that she was too affectionate.For a person like her, the love of children is too superfluous.Was it because she really loved Li Zhi that she approached Li Zhi back then?There may be some, but this is only a small part.She was just trying to save herself at that time. After all, she was young when she entered the palace. At the beginning, she still had great ambitions. She felt that she could replace the position of the eldest grandson empress. The queen is really affectionate. After the death of the eldest grandson queen, the only child born in the harem was Li Ming, born of Concubine Yang.She is beautiful, but compared to the smart and introverted eldest grandson queen, she is smart and aggressive, which is definitely not in line with Li Shimin's aesthetics. Therefore, she was only favored for a short while, and then quickly fell out of favor. In terms of doting, it is far inferior to Xu Hui who entered the palace with her.
Without love, without children, if there is no other way out, she can only be a young Buddha in her youth.Wu Zetian didn't come here to visit the palace. In the long run, she wanted to show off her intelligence and talent. In the immediate future, she wanted to win over her mother and sisters and take revenge on the Wu family.In this way, she must save herself.Therefore, she chose Li Zhi who had been canonized as the prince.
In the beginning, Wu Zetian really just wanted to have a child so that she would not be sent to Ganye Temple after Li Shimin's death, but as the relationship between Li Zhi and her deepened, Wu Zetian had more love. idea.She pretends that she loves Li Zhi so much that she cannot extricate herself, but in fact, she has always kept a clear conscience. She is herself first, and then the person who loves Li Zhi.
Wu Zetian has always had a clear goal and a firm mind, which is why she is now the empress.She had always felt that Taiping was confused by love, and her mind was full of her little family, but now she found that, whether it was because of the stimulation she received before or the intuitive influence of her ascension, this daughter matured at an unusual speed Woke up, which made Empress Wu quite satisfied.As a woman, she naturally hoped that her successor would still be a woman, not her two cowardly and incompetent sons, and her nephews from her natal family who were just mothers if they had milk, who followed the trend and had mediocre character.
With Taiping's words, Wu Zetian immediately had an idea. She nodded and said: "In this case, I will give you this opportunity. You have to prove to me that you have this ability, otherwise, you just have to If you can choose someone from the Wu family to marry, you won't be able to protect yourself when I leave!"
Taiping wanted to say, if he married the Wu family, could he be saved?At that time, you will only be splinted, and you will not be happy at both ends.However, Wu Zetian's original intention was actually for her own good. Therefore, Taiping didn't quarrel with Empress Wu. Instead, he agreed honestly: "Mother Emperor's heart, I understand, and I will definitely not let Mother Empress down." expectations!"
Waiting for Taiping to leave Ziwei Palace, Wu Zetian sat in his seat, looking at Taiping's back, but his expression became a little unfathomable.And when Taiping left, Xue Huaiyi walked in from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Wu Zetian showed a smile. No matter what happens afterwards, at least so far, Xue Huaiyi has been in line with her wishes. He is young and energetic, knowledgeable and interesting, and can help him in some aspects. As for other things that are not so reliable Well, Wu Zetian just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, not to mention raising a male favorite, even for the officials below, it is normal to take bribes and pervert the law.Wu Zetian now feels that Xue Huaiyi is fresh, so she is happy to pamper him, not to mention his current appetite for ideas is simply not worth mentioning to Wu Zetian, so let's just treat him as a joke!
Xue Huaiyi didn't know that in Wu Zetian's eyes, he was actually a funny thing. The longer the time, the more he felt that he was indispensable to Her Majesty. Can Her Majesty be truly satisfied?Therefore, now he is getting bolder, Wu Zetian doesn't want to raise a quail, Xue Huaiyi's affectionate appearance is also very suitable for Wu Zetian's appetite, so he doesn't mind it, and even occasionally calls Xue Huaiyi Xue Lang, this made him almost get carried away.
Xue Huaiyi came here now, on the one hand, to please Wu Zetian, on the other hand, he was actually bribed by the Wu family, and wanted to inquire about news.Xue Huaiyi used Xue from the Xue family in Hedong, which is the surname of Xue Shao and his family. There were rumors before that Xue Shao worshiped Xue Huaiyi as his adoptive father or something.In fact, Xue Shao didn't recognize this matter. Whatever his identity, it would be too embarrassing for him to recognize a street gangster as his adoptive father.However, Xue Huaiyi really regarded himself as an elder of Taiping.The Wu family is also eager to marry Taiping. After all, the Wu family had an unpleasant quarrel with Wu Zetian back then. The Wu family hopes to have a closer relationship with Wu Zetian. After all, when it comes to blood relationship, the biological children are naturally closer. After all, it was one level away, but if she married Taiping, it would be different. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that among Wu Zetian's children, Taiping is the one who loves her the most.In the long run, even if the Li family is returned to power in the future, with a daughter-in-law Taiping, the Wu family can still be prosperous and prosperous.
Everyone else thought that Xue Shao was dead, but the Wu family knew that Xue Shao was not dead, he was rescued by Taiping and brought to Quanzhou.This made the Wu family a little uncertain. Everyone knew the relationship between Taiping and Xue Shao. When a person died, no matter how much Taiping missed him, he could only miss him. But when he was still alive, it was different.
Xue Huaiyi ate some snacks with Wu Zetian and coaxed her to be very happy. Then he tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, what is the agreement between the princess and Xue Shao?"
Wu Zetian glanced at Xue Huaiyi casually. If it wasn't for this person who was on her mind at the moment, Wu Zetian would have turned his face at that time. However, she is still a little patient now, and just said: "What else can the rules be, this girl, now I have a big temper and big ideas, don't say anything else, what are you thinking about those children, if they really reconcile, the children will not be able to get along with each other, so you are stubborn with me!"
Xue Huaiyi didn't feel Wu Zetian's thoughts, he said carelessly: "What kind of character is the princess, how can Xue Shao, a criminal minister, be worthy of the princess? According to my opinion, he should have been killed at the beginning, once and for all!"
Wu Zetian laughed softly: "If I do something, it will inevitably cause Taiping to be separated from me. I am just such a daughter, and it was nothing before. If I do it again, I will be a bit unable to do it..."
Xue Huaiyi consciously heard the meaning behind the words, and immediately his eyes flickered slightly, and then he began to serve attentively again.
Sima Chengzhen was dressed very plainly, just in a cyan Taoist robe, just like an ordinary Taoist priest. He didn't come here as himself. To be honest, Buddhists are staring at him closely now. After all, Wu Zetian is so old , Although looking at the body is still healthy, but the emperor, once he feels the signs of aging, one by one will naturally want to seek longevity and immortality.This kind of thing is also human nature, and it is the same in future generations. Many elderly people, when they are older, their living conditions are better, and their lives are enjoyable, they start to maintain their health, hoping to live longer. What terminal illness, even if they know it will cost a lot of money, but no one wants to die, they will try their best to treat it.And when the living conditions are relatively poor, many young people will give up treatment when they get terminally ill, let alone the elderly. I'd rather die.
Even if the common people are like this, as emperors, they are in charge of the power of the world, and they are aloof. People like them are even more reluctant to die, wishing to be a thousand-year-old 8-year-old tortoise!Although Wu Zetian has never shown such signs before, she will be seventy in a few years, and seventy is rare in her life. Why are Li Tang's fans tolerant of Wu Zetian's backdoor listing? Do you think that at Wu Zetian's age, it is estimated that he will die after getting too addicted?That's all to let her shine for a few years!
But people who are old and mature naturally know that after Wu Zetian really takes power, he will only be more unwilling to die!Therefore, she must also want to live forever.And Buddhism is really lacking in this aspect.Like the Buddhism in Xianxia novels, one by one said that they value the physical body so much that they must create some kind of indestructible body, and they always talk about the golden body of Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism still says that, the flesh body It's just a skin, and theirs is not this at all.Because the very core point of Buddhist teachings is reincarnation, so they will not pursue longevity. Death is just the beginning of the next life.
But Taoism is different. Taoism doesn’t cultivate the afterlife, what they cultivate is this life. Therefore, Taoism has been seeking immortality since ancient times. What about the practice method?Everything is for longevity.Even if the Taoism has been so far, it seems that the people who have gained longevity in the Zhenger Bajing are all in legends, like the kind where the king of Huainan ate the golden elixir and lifted his house and flew up, and even brought chickens and dogs with him. A little further away is the Yellow Emperor Ascension, Lao Tzu left Hanguan in the west, Ziqi came [-] miles east, and then the matter of ascension... In short, many times, it is said that so-and-so has lived forever and become a fairy, that is just a legend.However, Taoist sects don’t worry about this now, among other things, Sun Simiao, who passed away a few years ago, was said in the propaganda that he was born in the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to this calculation, Sun Simiao is a hundred years old!
In addition, among Taoist sects, those famous and surnamed guru-level figures, as long as they are not the kind who swallow the golden elixir with nothing to do, living to the age of seven or eighty is a basic operation.Therefore, for princes and nobles, Daomen is the group of people who have mastered the code of longevity.
Wu Zetian wanted to consolidate his authority. Buddhism is really good at building momentum, but after Wu Zetian's position is stabilized, the role of Buddhism will be negligible. They can't help govern the country and the world, and Wu Zetian has to give money to others. Therefore, it is very normal for Wu Zetian to seek help from Taoism in private.
Under such circumstances, the Buddhist sect naturally has to be on guard. Therefore, the key figures of all the Taoist sects are more closely watched.
Therefore, after receiving the greeting card sent by Li Yue, Sima Chengzhen was ready to come and visit in person.Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there is a saying of Fulongting.Back then, Buddhism supported Yang Jian. During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, the power of Buddhism rose sharply. As a result, there was a shrewd Yang Guang, who was not someone who would be fooled by Buddhism. But the many benefits that Yang Jian promised to Buddhism were canceled by Yang Guang.
Therefore, Buddhism turned around to support the Li family. Who knows, whether it is Li Yuan or Li Shimin, they are the kind of people who turn their faces faster than turning over books. inside.As for the Daoist sect, they also put in a lot of effort in the process of being in charge of the Li family. Among other things, in the Daoist sect, many masters at that time were from everyone, and they turned around from it. Under Li Tang's command.However, at that time, the people who led the Taoist sect were the vanguard of destroying Buddhism. Therefore, after Li Tang was established, they desperately exerted influence on Li Yuan and Li Shimin to suppress the Buddhist sect.
In the current situation, Taoist sects in the Central Plains naturally have to dormant obediently, and even Sima Chengzhen is thinking about giving up Songshan temporarily. After all, Shaolin Temple, the ancestor of Zen, is in Songshan, and Sima Chengzhen is not as good as Shaolin Temple. There are so many people, so many things can't be done under the eyes of others.
As a result, after accepting Li Yue's post, Sima Chengzhen came up with a hexagram on a whim, but it was the hexagram image of a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss.
Sima Chengzhen suddenly couldn't sit still. Compared with Buddhism, an outsider, Taoism actually didn't have much pioneering spirit. To be precise, before Buddhism was passed to the Central Plains Dynasty, Taoism was not a religion, but a typical school, but because Because of Dong Zhongshu, the obvious learning had to become hidden learning and even metaphysics.
Regarding how Taoism preaches, everyone is actually having a headache. They want to be down-to-earth. Without a suitable opportunity, they can't modify their own teachings. In other words, they have actually revised it. , the Taoist sect is going to make a god to save suffering, but the problem is, they will distribute it!The Daoist side can't say with the cheek that as long as you believe in it, you can become a fairy!It's so easy to become a fairy, what kind of Tao do we cultivate?
Sima Chengzhen thought that there might be a turning point for Li Yue, so he sneaked down the mountain while everyone's attention was on Wu Zetian's enthronement, and then ran to Li Yue's side.To be honest, this is actually a bit impolite, after all, it is already very late.According to the normal social etiquette of this era, most of the door-to-door visits will be in the morning, at least before noon, that is, those who have a very deep friendship can ignore this unspoken rule.However, Sima Chengzhen could only do it brazenly when encountering such a matter related to the future of the Daoist sect.
However, Li Yue was not that particular about etiquette, he asked Yang Yao to rest first, changed his clothes quickly, and went to see Sima Chengzhen in the study.
Sima Chengzhen was also a sensible person. Before Li Yue could speak, he got up and saluted, and said, "It's really impolite for the impoverished Taoist to visit. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Li Yue hurriedly said: "Why is the real person like this? It's me and other ordinary people who disturb the real person's tranquility!"
Sima Chengzhen didn't play any nonsense with Li Yue, he shook his head directly and said: "What is quiet, these are all deceiving people who don't understand, like the king, the way that should be done, how can this dispute of orthodoxy be tolerated?" You have to say the word quiet!" At this point, Sima Chengzhen secretly sighed again.He is indeed devoted to Taoism in his heart, and his heart is full of the matter of his attainment of Taoism and immortality, but he shoulders the Taoist lineage of Shangqing, and is one of the leading figures among the various branches of Taoism. Even if he is a little younger, his qualifications A little superficial, but since his master became immortal, he has to take on this responsibility.Therefore, he had to participate in the orthodox dispute.
Seeing that Sima Chengzhen is also a straightforward person, Li Yue was also relieved at the moment. He was afraid that he would meet the kind of person who put on airs and put on a look that he was really an extraordinary and real god, whether it was pretending or not. I really think so, for Li Yue, such a person is the type that is difficult to deal with.With Sima Chengzhen being so forthright, the chances of cooperation increased.
Therefore, Li Yue didn't hide it, and directly stated his plan: "The real person should also know that in the past few years, the lonely king is going to officially transfer the seal to Ryukyu. Due to various reasons, the immigrants from Ryukyu are now , either the Yue people, or the Yi people in Tiannan, and some are the Tubo people who migrated from the plateau. As for the Han people, the proportion here is really not that high! Each ethnic group has its own Belief, for the lonely king, these beliefs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and some of them do not conform to the wishes of the lonely king. The fleet of Tianzhu, aside from Tianzhu, Buddhism is on the decline there, and the main believer is Brahmanism, while on the Tianfang side, the monotheism they believe in will inevitably be distorted due to various reasons in the process of spreading. There will inevitably be some conflicts in Ryukyu and other places, so the lonely king thought of asking for help!"
In fact, Li Yue has thought a lot about religion these days. Just believing in Haotian and Sanqing is actually not enough, because their personalities are too high. Groundedness, like Haotian, has always been a belief at the national level. The imperial court sacrifices to heaven every year, and it is Haotian who sacrifices. As for Sanqing, it is also the supreme god of Taoism.But for Li Yue, he still thinks that some more down-to-earth gods are more reliable, such as the Land City God. If Li Yue's territory needs to vigorously develop maritime trade in the future, it is best to add a sea god to the object of worship.Now the belief of Mazu has not yet appeared, so just get a sea dragon king!
These beliefs are definitely impossible in monotheism. Buddhism is very inclusive. Even heretics and monsters can become Buddhist guardians in their teachings. In the era of pioneering and enterprising, in this way, one can only rely on Taoism.
Therefore, Li Yue simply said: "The lonely king plans to set up land in various settlements in Ryukyu, and set up city gods in each city. Go, the only way to meet this need is Taoism!"
The priesthood of the Land City God did not appear at this time. In fact, the first City God was established by Liu Bang. In order to save him, Ji Xin disguised himself as him, and finally died on the battlefield. Liu Bang was grateful for Ji Xin’s contribution. After he ascended the throne, he enshrined Ji Envelope as the city god of the capital and enshrined it in Chang'an plastic temple, and even asked other places to build town god temples to worship Ji Xin. However, after the fall of the Han Dynasty, Ji Xin's faith also declined. Chang'an still has some.The same is true for the land gods. They used to be called the gods of the society. In the Shinto system, they were still relatively high-ranking, but they have been continuously degraded, and now they have become small gods at the grassroots level in various places.
But this kind of belief was not looked down upon by Taoists in the past. For example, the belief of the land god, under normal circumstances, there would not even be temple blessings.
And Li Yue's idea is to formalize the god of the land, just like the Japanese kingdom of later generations, where the god of land is in charge of the burial of the local people. Of course, it will not be a mass cemetery. If you are too old, you should set up a spiritual seat in the land god and replace it with a small spiritual card. After passing through the land temple, the process of death is considered complete.In addition, the land god's main job should be harvesting, and other things like marriage and childbirth should also be managed, which can easily crowd out other beliefs.
When Li Yue told Sima Chengzhen what he thought, Sima Chengzhen was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, his eyes lit up. Isn't this the best way for the Daoist sect to sink to the grassroots level?No matter how good the Buddhist sect is, it is impossible to snatch it into the village. A village cannot afford a temple, but a temple or something like that, a temple is enough to take care of it, and at most one or two boys, three people, or even There is no need for the believers below to offer anything more. A temple property of [-] to [-] mu is enough for the normal operation of the land temple. In addition, the villagers have to offer some things such as weddings and funerals. Therefore, Enough to take care of the earth temple.
Thinking of this, Sima Chengzhen immediately got up, and gave Li Yue another Daoist gift: "Thank you, the king, for your advice. I am grateful to the poor Daoist. If it is useful for Daomen, Daomen should do the work of dogs and horses!"
When Li Yue thought of this at the beginning, he knew that the Daoist sect would definitely agree, so he also laughed: "If that's the case, then I will have to trouble the real person to help lead the way!"
"This is the duty of a poor Taoist. Your Majesty is too polite!" Sima Chengzhen could hardly keep his temper at the moment, and his face was full of joy. If it weren't for the time, Sima Chengzhen Chengzhen can immediately order someone to send a message to Zhongnan Mountain and other Taoist tribes.
After reaching a consensus with Sima Chengzhen, Li Yue chatted with him for a while, but he was confused by the mysterious truths Sima Chengzhen said, and suddenly couldn't sit still!Li Yue can still know a little bit about materialism philosophy with the other party in vernacular, but for a person like Sima Chengzhen who can almost establish a sect in the Taoist sect, Li Yue, a half-assed person, naturally can't talk about it. Now, he regrets that he didn't practice his words on the Internet in his previous life, otherwise, even if he doesn't understand, he can say a few words!
Li Yue ordered his servants to arrange for Sima Chengzhen to rest in the outer courtyard, and he went back to the main courtyard. Yang Yao was still waiting for him. Seeing that Li Yue came in with a relaxed expression, Yang Yao stood up and asked, "It seems, Did it go well?"
Li Yue nodded, and did not call the waiter. She changed her clothes, then wiped her face with the towel that she asked someone to prepare, sat down beside Yang Yao, and said, "Originally It's a matter of mutual benefit, Ziwei is not a fool, so naturally he is willing!"
Yang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I just thought that Ryukyu is a land of alienation after all, so it inevitably made them have some doubts!"
Li Yue chuckled and said, "People from the Buddhist sect have spread their preaching to the grasslands and plateaus of the Western Regions. If they don't want to make progress, they will just guard their own one-third of an acre of land, and they will soon be forced to go to the mountains by the Buddhist sect. !Although there are many emperors who seek longevity, relying on the master, although they can prosper for a while, but the emperor's longevity, I read the history books, except for the yellow emperor who is not sure whether it is true or not, who else? It’s just a mirror image, and if something goes wrong like Taizong, it will be even more troublesome! So, instead of thinking about the elixir all day long, it’s better to go out honestly! Besides, the Ryukyu side Now it is also the territory of Zhuxia, why is it a land of alienation? To be honest, it is much stronger than the grassland and plateau!"
Seeing Li Yue's happy words, Yang Yao also laughed: "Anyway, this matter is finally done, so it's also a matter of concern! Originally, we said that we would go to Songshan Mountain sometime after the Empress ascended the throne. For those who paid a visit, now that Master Ziwei has come over in person, that will save such a thing, so when shall we return to Quanzhou?"
Li Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "As soon as possible, we don't want to get involved in those messy things. If we stay in Chang'an, we will inevitably be involved. So, after a few days, we will write a letter to say goodbye, just say we are not at ease. Two children!"
After hesitating for a while, Yang Yao asked again: "What about Taiping?"
Li Yue suddenly had a headache, and said helplessly: "After all, we are just uncles and aunts, and we can't make decisions about peace matters!"
Yang Yao sighed lightly, and said, "However, Xue Shao and several other children are with us!"
Li Yue exhaled and said: "In this kind of matter, the main thing to consider is peace. If she insists, then what about His Majesty? His Majesty is certainly decisive, but she has always intended to protect her daughter. !"
Yang Yao lowered her voice and said, "I heard people say that His Majesty wants Taiping to reconcile Xue Shao and marry Wu Youji!"
Li Yue was stunned: "It shouldn't be, Wu Youji already has a wife and children!"
Yang Yao snorted and said, "For Your Majesty, this is nothing! She can make peace and separation, and naturally Wu Youji can also make peace! Wu Youji's first wife is not from a family background, but from the Wu family. Men, if you can be a real princess, what is it to sacrifice a wife!" Yang Yao looked down on the Wu family very much.
This matter is really very possible, Li Yue thought about it for a while, then shook her head secretly, if Xue Shao died, this marriage might still be possible, the problem is that Xue Shao is still alive, and he is not on Wu Zetian's territory, She couldn't find a hostage even if she wanted to blackmail her daughter, so she couldn't still use Xue's family to blackmail Taiping, that would be too lowly.
But this matter is not certain, Wu Zetian has always done things by unscrupulous means, she thinks it is for the sake of peace, so she will definitely stick to it to the end.
"Forget it, let's go back and ask what Taiping's idea is, don't let us be filled with righteous indignation and wishful thinking, but Taiping has other ideas!" Li Yue shook his head and said.
Yang Yao nodded and said, "That's true. After all, the queen mother has become the emperor, and now Taiping is about to catch up with the emperor's successor. Maybe Taiping has other ideas!"
Neither Li Yue nor Yang Yao believed that Taiping would really be indifferent to that position. If this opportunity had never occurred, then Taiping would naturally not think too much about it. However, since he had already had this opportunity, it was hard for Taiping not to have the corresponding thoughts. Come on, under such circumstances, whether Taiping will still miss Xue Shao is still a question.
However, that was Taiping's own choice, and neither Li Yue nor Yang Yao would intervene.
In fact, Taiping was indeed shaken. When she watched her mother step by step step by step to the supreme position in all her attire, Taiping was greatly shocked.In the past, everyone took it for granted that women could only be in the auxiliary position. Since the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, all the emperors have been men, even women like the Empress Dowager Xuan and Empress Lu can only play an auxiliary role. Appearing, of course, when they were in power, they were indeed taking the lead, but after all, they didn't really take that position.
As for the two so-called empresses before, one is just like a joke, and the other is nothing, that is, my mother, who has truly become a female emperor.
It is inevitable for Taiping to ask himself, if he is himself, is he capable of sitting in that position?If Li Hong was still alive, and even Li Xian was in Luoyang, then Taiping would not think so much. The two Li Hongs have always been better. Not very mature, in fact, he has some abilities, but Taiping compares himself with Li Xian and Li Dan, two brothers, and immediately feels that I can do it too!
Therefore, when Wu Zetian summoned Taiping and asked Taiping to reconcile with Xue Shao and marry a certain Wu family, Taiping directly expressed his opposition.
In fact, most of the time, Taiping is still able to understand some of his mother's thoughts.Wu Zetian was in a more active position most of the time, and she was never willing to be manipulated by others. Therefore, her relationship with Li Zhi was often dominated by Wu Zetian.Of course, at that time it was mainly Li Zhi who was willing to cooperate. Li Zhi belonged to the kind of people who could give in a little bit for the sake of face. Besides, he also needed his wife to help him take the blame, showing that he was a little weak. In the current situation, it is because the queen is too strong, and there is nothing I can do!
Therefore, Taiping directly stated at this moment that since he is the daughter of the first empress, his identity as a princess is actually no different from that of a prince. Why should he marry since all princes are concubines? !I already have a husband, this is my original wife, and I don't plan to divorce, this is not good for the children, after all, if this is the case, will these children be counted as the sons or concubines in the future?Even if he wants to marry again, it can only be said to accept another side husband. If the Wu family is willing, they can choose a young hero to be their side husband!
To be honest, Wu Zetian didn't expect Taiping to use this as an argument, she was speechless for a while, and then she appreciated it, and she soon realized that there was nothing wrong with Taiping's idea.That's right, she is the emperor's daughter now, and she also has the right to inherit. Should she marry the Wu family and make a wedding dress for the Wu family?Even with Wu Zetian's heart, she would not want to use her daughter to perfect her natal nephew who is not very close!
However, Wu Zetian also told Taiping bluntly that as a woman, she needs a lot of supporters if she wants to get to her own level, and now, those courtiers support either Li Xian and Li Dan, or the brothers of the Wu family. She can tolerate another queen, so if she can't marry the Wu family, then the road ahead will be very difficult.
Taiping didn't hesitate, and said directly: "If I rely on this to get to the end, then I will definitely be constrained later on. At that time, I have a title, so what else?"
Wu Zetian felt that she needed to look at her daughter with a more fresh perspective. She always thought that this daughter was smart, but it was inevitable that she was too affectionate.For a person like her, the love of children is too superfluous.Was it because she really loved Li Zhi that she approached Li Zhi back then?There may be some, but this is only a small part.She was just trying to save herself at that time. After all, she was young when she entered the palace. At the beginning, she still had great ambitions. She felt that she could replace the position of the eldest grandson empress. The queen is really affectionate. After the death of the eldest grandson queen, the only child born in the harem was Li Ming, born of Concubine Yang.She is beautiful, but compared to the smart and introverted eldest grandson queen, she is smart and aggressive, which is definitely not in line with Li Shimin's aesthetics. Therefore, she was only favored for a short while, and then quickly fell out of favor. In terms of doting, it is far inferior to Xu Hui who entered the palace with her.
Without love, without children, if there is no other way out, she can only be a young Buddha in her youth.Wu Zetian didn't come here to visit the palace. In the long run, she wanted to show off her intelligence and talent. In the immediate future, she wanted to win over her mother and sisters and take revenge on the Wu family.In this way, she must save herself.Therefore, she chose Li Zhi who had been canonized as the prince.
In the beginning, Wu Zetian really just wanted to have a child so that she would not be sent to Ganye Temple after Li Shimin's death, but as the relationship between Li Zhi and her deepened, Wu Zetian had more love. idea.She pretends that she loves Li Zhi so much that she cannot extricate herself, but in fact, she has always kept a clear conscience. She is herself first, and then the person who loves Li Zhi.
Wu Zetian has always had a clear goal and a firm mind, which is why she is now the empress.She had always felt that Taiping was confused by love, and her mind was full of her little family, but now she found that, whether it was because of the stimulation she received before or the intuitive influence of her ascension, this daughter matured at an unusual speed Woke up, which made Empress Wu quite satisfied.As a woman, she naturally hoped that her successor would still be a woman, not her two cowardly and incompetent sons, and her nephews from her natal family who were just mothers if they had milk, who followed the trend and had mediocre character.
With Taiping's words, Wu Zetian immediately had an idea. She nodded and said: "In this case, I will give you this opportunity. You have to prove to me that you have this ability, otherwise, you just have to If you can choose someone from the Wu family to marry, you won't be able to protect yourself when I leave!"
Taiping wanted to say, if he married the Wu family, could he be saved?At that time, you will only be splinted, and you will not be happy at both ends.However, Wu Zetian's original intention was actually for her own good. Therefore, Taiping didn't quarrel with Empress Wu. Instead, he agreed honestly: "Mother Emperor's heart, I understand, and I will definitely not let Mother Empress down." expectations!"
Waiting for Taiping to leave Ziwei Palace, Wu Zetian sat in his seat, looking at Taiping's back, but his expression became a little unfathomable.And when Taiping left, Xue Huaiyi walked in from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, I'm here!"
Wu Zetian showed a smile. No matter what happens afterwards, at least so far, Xue Huaiyi has been in line with her wishes. He is young and energetic, knowledgeable and interesting, and can help him in some aspects. As for other things that are not so reliable Well, Wu Zetian just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, not to mention raising a male favorite, even for the officials below, it is normal to take bribes and pervert the law.Wu Zetian now feels that Xue Huaiyi is fresh, so she is happy to pamper him, not to mention his current appetite for ideas is simply not worth mentioning to Wu Zetian, so let's just treat him as a joke!
Xue Huaiyi didn't know that in Wu Zetian's eyes, he was actually a funny thing. The longer the time, the more he felt that he was indispensable to Her Majesty. Can Her Majesty be truly satisfied?Therefore, now he is getting bolder, Wu Zetian doesn't want to raise a quail, Xue Huaiyi's affectionate appearance is also very suitable for Wu Zetian's appetite, so he doesn't mind it, and even occasionally calls Xue Huaiyi Xue Lang, this made him almost get carried away.
Xue Huaiyi came here now, on the one hand, to please Wu Zetian, on the other hand, he was actually bribed by the Wu family, and wanted to inquire about news.Xue Huaiyi used Xue from the Xue family in Hedong, which is the surname of Xue Shao and his family. There were rumors before that Xue Shao worshiped Xue Huaiyi as his adoptive father or something.In fact, Xue Shao didn't recognize this matter. Whatever his identity, it would be too embarrassing for him to recognize a street gangster as his adoptive father.However, Xue Huaiyi really regarded himself as an elder of Taiping.The Wu family is also eager to marry Taiping. After all, the Wu family had an unpleasant quarrel with Wu Zetian back then. The Wu family hopes to have a closer relationship with Wu Zetian. After all, when it comes to blood relationship, the biological children are naturally closer. After all, it was one level away, but if she married Taiping, it would be different. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that among Wu Zetian's children, Taiping is the one who loves her the most.In the long run, even if the Li family is returned to power in the future, with a daughter-in-law Taiping, the Wu family can still be prosperous and prosperous.
Everyone else thought that Xue Shao was dead, but the Wu family knew that Xue Shao was not dead, he was rescued by Taiping and brought to Quanzhou.This made the Wu family a little uncertain. Everyone knew the relationship between Taiping and Xue Shao. When a person died, no matter how much Taiping missed him, he could only miss him. But when he was still alive, it was different.
Xue Huaiyi ate some snacks with Wu Zetian and coaxed her to be very happy. Then he tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, what is the agreement between the princess and Xue Shao?"
Wu Zetian glanced at Xue Huaiyi casually. If it wasn't for this person who was on her mind at the moment, Wu Zetian would have turned his face at that time. However, she is still a little patient now, and just said: "What else can the rules be, this girl, now I have a big temper and big ideas, don't say anything else, what are you thinking about those children, if they really reconcile, the children will not be able to get along with each other, so you are stubborn with me!"
Xue Huaiyi didn't feel Wu Zetian's thoughts, he said carelessly: "What kind of character is the princess, how can Xue Shao, a criminal minister, be worthy of the princess? According to my opinion, he should have been killed at the beginning, once and for all!"
Wu Zetian laughed softly: "If I do something, it will inevitably cause Taiping to be separated from me. I am just such a daughter, and it was nothing before. If I do it again, I will be a bit unable to do it..."
Xue Huaiyi consciously heard the meaning behind the words, and immediately his eyes flickered slightly, and then he began to serve attentively again.
