Chapter 1063 Incense in the Temple
In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Chinese New Year's Eve, it is also the last day of the Zhenguan year. After tonight, Zhenguan will become history, which can only be recorded in the history books, and a new era name is about to usher in its glory - Yonghui!
Hui, there is goodness, the meaning of beauty, and "Hui" homonym, take the year name for Yonghui, it is not difficult to see that Li Zhi wants to inherit Li Shimin's will, to create a beautiful, glorious world!
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Zhi invited hundreds of officials of the imperial court to a banquet. Regardless of the previous tension between the monarch and the minister, at least for now, there is not much conflict between the two sides. Li Zhi saluted the ministers, and the ministers no longer blindly contradicted each other, and the two sides took a step back, and now the atmosphere in the court is quite harmonious.
And after a few months of baptism, Li Zhi gradually faded away from the pheasant, and slowly had a unique temperament of the emperor. The once impulsive teenager is slowly precipitating at this moment.
It seems that he inherited the kindness of the eldest grandson queen, Li Shimin's heart, although the monarch and ministers had been unhappy before, but now, Li Zhi is still very kind to the ministers, he must listen to what he says, and he must discuss what he says, so he is a little wise.
After the banquet, the ministers dispersed and went home to accompany their families to celebrate the New Year, Li Zhi originally planned to return to the palace to accompany his wife and children, but a less interesting person suddenly came out, grabbed Li Zhi, and changed his mind of going back to the New Year.
No, it should be said that there are two people who are not interested, one is naturally Chen Fei, and the other is Xu Jingzong, these two people get together, and they are quite embarrassed. It's just that Xu Jingzong is more like Wangfeng's younger brother, who is responsible for peripheral vigilance and miscellaneous activities, at most he brushes his face in front of Li Zhi, and he has no chance to come forward to speak.
In fact, even he didn't know where Chen Fei wanted to take Li Zhi in the middle of the night.
Even his accomplices didn't know, but it was conceivable that Li Zhi was even more depressed.
"Zicheng, it's not too early, where are you going to take me?"
Chen Fei winked at Li Zhi mysteriously, and then leaned into his ear and said softly: "Your Majesty, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't Your Majesty go to the temple to pray for the blessings of the people?" ”
"But ......" Li Zhi wanted to say that he didn't believe in Buddhism, but when the words came to his lips, he saw Chen Fei squeezing his eyebrows and making eyes, and finally changed his words. Yes...... Okay, but I'll hear it. ”
Li Zhi called Wanfu and told him that he was going to the temple to offer incense, although Wanfu felt that it was a little inappropriate to go to the temple to incense at this time, but he still didn't say anything and agreed.
"Your Majesty wants to go to that temple to offer incense? The old slave went to prepare. “
Li Zhi glanced at Chen Fei and threw the question at him.
Chen Fei smiled and whispered a few words in Wanfu's ear, Wanfu suddenly showed a strange expression, glanced at Chen Fei, didn't say anything, turned around and prepared to go.
Chen Feishen's mysterious appearance completely aroused Li Zhi's curiosity. Originally, he didn't expect it, but now that Chen Fei was tricked by it, he was really a little itchy.
"Zicheng, can you tell us where we're going later? Do what? Don't tell me that I'm really just going to incense. “
Chen Fei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, you'll know in a while." “
It didn't take long for Wanfu to prepare the frame, and in Xu Jingzong's envious eyes, Chen Fei and Li Zhi got into the same carriage and left.
After about two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a temple in Chang'an City, where the presiding officer had been waiting outside for a long time. And inside and outside the temple have long been forbidden to the army and martial law.
Li Zhi was stunned directly after getting out of the carriage, because the temple ...... It's Ganye Temple! The concubines who had no children during their father's lifetime all cut their hair in this temple and became nuns.
Moreover, Wu Meiniang, who made him think about it...... Also among them!
"Your Majesty, please." Chen Fei made a greeting gesture. At this moment, Li Zhi didn't pay attention to Chen Fei's mind at all, his eyes straightened, and he walked in in a dejected state.
Those who followed in, except for Wanfu and a few other eunuchs and guards, the rest stayed outside, including Chen Fei, who did not go in.
"Hahu~" Chen Fei sighed in his hand and rubbed it a few times to make himself feel warm. In the winter nights of Chang'an City, the temperature is so low that if you don't wear thick clothes, I'm afraid you will freeze to death outside.
Xu Jingzong was not so lucky, he was temporarily pulled over by Chen Fei today, known as "brushing his face in front of His Majesty", so he didn't prepare too thick clothes at all, and his frozen teeth were trembling at the moment.
What's even more tragic is that he found out that he really just came to brush his face! Until now, he didn't know what he was doing here, and he didn't know what Chen Fei's purpose was in bringing Li Zhi here!
"Lord Xu, if you feel cold, go and sit in the carriage, you don't have to hold it outside."
"Big ...... My lord, we are here today, ...... the end?"
Chen Fei showed an inexplicable smile towards Xu Jingzong: "Lord Xu, today we are just here to accompany His Majesty to burn incense and worship the Buddha, you don't need to know too much about the rest, you just need to remember this." Also, don't tell anyone about tonight when you go back, I'll make sure you go away immediately. ”
As soon as he heard the word "official luck", Xu Jingzong immediately came to his senses. He had an almost pathological penchant for promotion.
"Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials must be tight-lipped, don't ask more than what shouldn't be asked, and never say more than half a word if you shouldn't say!"
Chen Fei smiled with satisfaction, he liked Xu Jingzong's character of knowing advance and retreat.
Although this person doesn't have much talent, he is definitely the smartest, and at the same time, he is also a very good teammate, who lets him do whatever he wants, and ensures that he finishes beautifully. When you are a leader, you just like such subordinates!
"Hehe, Lord Xu is fortunate tonight, the day when he should be reunited with his family, but I pulled him out to suffer this, Lord Xu should hurry up and sit in the car, I can't afford to blow Lord Xu cold."
Xu Jingzong did not be polite to Chen Fei after being polite, and went to the carriage to avoid the cold wind.
Chen Fei stood outside for a while, and he couldn't stand the cold, so he got into the carriage to escape the wind and cold.
After more than an hour, Li Zhi came out of the temple without giving up, and after coming out, he didn't say anything, as if he had lost his soul, he got into the carriage directly, and didn't say goodbye to Chen Fei, and directly asked the eunuch to drive back to the palace.
When Chen Fei saw Li Zhi's appearance, he knew that things were moving in the direction of his calculations. Believe in the means of Yiwu Zetian, and during this period of time...... It should be enough for her to use means to confuse Li Zhi to take her back to the palace, right?
I just don't know what the expressions of those ministers in the court will have when they learn that Li Zhi is going to take Wu Zetian back to the harem, and he still thinks of the day in the future, when these ministers know that Li Zhi wants to make Wu Zetian the queen, what kind of wonderful expressions will they have!
