Chapter 624: Immortals Want to Show the Way
"Amitabha!"
Hu Chao thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to let the ghosts and gods investigate the case." However, Weichen needs to bathe and change clothes for three days, and then practice it for 18 consecutive days. ”
Wu Zetian said: "I don't know the spell of the national teacher, but there is a name?" ”
"Immortals show the way."
Flutter~~
Although most of the courtiers were afraid of Hu Chao's power, after hearing this, many people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Prime Minister Zong Chuke frowned directly and said: "National Teacher, you are from the Buddhist family, why did you use the name of Taoism for this spell?" ”
Hu Chao raised his eyebrows and said: "Amitabha, red lotus, white lotus root, green lotus leaf, the three religions were originally one family." Sect donor, you are in love. ”
Zong Chuke said disapprerovingly: "Is it because of the original appearance, or if you, a monk, can't even tell the difference between monks and Taos, it's not easy to say." ”
In fact, among the courtiers present, there were many university questions. After thinking about it for so long, many people are really skeptical of Hu Chao's Buddhist cultivation. However, it is the first time that Zong Chuke has said it so boldly.
Hu Chao was not angry, smiled slightly, and said: "The three teachings have the same path, and there is really no difference in learning the depths." Don't you hear the canon of "Lao Tzu Huahu"? ”
As soon as Hu Chao's words came out, Zong Chuke became even more suspicious of Hu Chao's identity.
What is the source of Lao Tzu's nonsense, it is really impossible to test. It can probably be thought that when Buddhism was first introduced, in order to facilitate people's acceptance, it was claimed that the Buddha and Lao Tzu had an inexplicable relationship. Even, the monks at that time could also be called "Taoists".
However, later, as Buddhism gradually grew bigger, it did not recognize this black history. When they didn't admit it, the Taoists forced him to admit it, and even wrote a special "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", saying that the Buddha was all enlightened by Lao Tzu.
Of course, the monks didn't do it, because of this "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing", the two sides held countless polemics, and even introduced the power of the court.
Just five years ago, the Great Zhou court even issued a direct decree, declaring: "Lao Jun turned Hu into a pawn, how can you tolerate monks, please cut them off in vain...... Knowing that Hu is true, it is not wrong to be a Buddha, and the Tao can be convenient for teaching. ”
To put it simply, it is the Great Zhou court that admits that this "Lao Tzu Hua Hu Jing" is a true scripture. Obviously, as soon as this decree came out, the Taoist priests rejoiced, and the monks were depressed.
Now the question is, how can Hu Chao, a monk, talk about "Lao Tzu Hua Hu"? Isn't that a deception of teachers and ancestors?
What the hell is this Hu Chao?
Zong Chuke frowned and said, "I don't know if the master dares to publicize this remark in Luoyang Shamen?" ”
"Enough!" Wu Zetian stopped: "The national teacher is highly knowledgeable, how can it be measured by your sect and Chuke, retreat." ”
"But ......"
"Huh?"
"Wechen obeys."
Zong Chuke retreated aggrievedly, and his suspicion of Hu Chao in his heart deepened, so he made a look and gave his confidant, Cheng Liangda in the palace.
Liang Dadao: "Dare to ask the national teacher, how do you use the spell of "immortal guidance"? ”
Hu Chao said: "The poor monk precedes a large hall, puts on a one-zhang high Buddha statue, the Buddha statue points forward, not far from the wall, from top to bottom, respectively wrote the words "injustice" and "sin". Then, the poor monk sealed the doors and windows of the main hall with charms, and no one, including the poor monks, was allowed to enter. ”
Liang Da interrupted with a sarcastic smile: "Eh, this talisman is also a Taoist ...... Well, I understand, you're still a three-way family, so go ahead. ”
Hu Chao continued: "Then, the poor monk practiced for 18 days in a row, and then opened the door of the temple, and asked you to inspect it in person. The Buddha statue refers to "injustice", and the three nobles should be acquitted. But if it is a "sin", then it can be punished according to the law! ”
Liang Dadao: "Where did the Buddha statue originally refer to?"
Hu Chao said: "Sin" is three inches under "injustice", and what the Buddha statue refers to is three inches under the original "sin"! ”
"This is strange, the Buddha statue can move on its own?" Hu Chao said proudly: "Of course, if it weren't for that, how could it show the profound magic of the poor monk?" ”
Then, he looked at Wu Zetian and said, "I don't know Your Majesty's ability to trust the poor monk?" ”
Wu Zetian nodded and said, "Of course I can trust the spells of the national teacher. But...... What you do, don't you delay refining the elixir of immortality? ”
"Your Majesty said cautiously that the medicine refined by the poor monk can only prolong life for 300 years, and there is no reason for immortality. Belch...... As for the time? Your Majesty can rest assured that this medicine will be completed in three years, and some Dharma will not hinder it. ”
Wu Zetian bowed his head and said: "That's good, my will has been decided, and the case of disobedience by Shao Wang Li Chongrun and others will be decided by the god statue "Immortal Guiding the Way". Retreat! ”
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
……
……
The turmoil did not pass, but dragged on until the 21st. There is no doubt that whichever side Hu Chao leans towards, which side will win a big victory.
As for those who really believe in the "Immortal Guidance" spell, there are really not many. And among these people, obviously, does not include the Zhang brothers.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, the Zhang brothers called Cui Geng, Zheng, Yang Zaisi, Song Zhiwen and other henchmen to the mansion for a while to discuss.
It was only now that Cui Geng understood that the origin of this Hu Chao was extremely mysterious, and even Zhang Changzong didn't know his heels.
In Zhang Changzong's cognition, this is a monk who travels to the party, and was suddenly recruited by Wu Zetian's decree to enter the palace to make medicine and treat eye diseases.
Not to mention, in the end, Wu Zetian's eye disease was really cured by him. In the end, in the court, Wu Zetian even wanted to make him the prime minister. If it weren't for Cui Geng's recital, this guy would have become the second in Wei Shifang.
Now the question is, who is Hu Chao? It can't really be a monk that Wu Zetian dreamed of, right?
Zhang Changzong said: "He is definitely not the official's person, but it is difficult to say that he is not the prince's side." ”
Cui Geng said: "No way! How could His Majesty let the people recommended by the crown prince serve the decoction? ”
"And whose man is he? Shangguan Wan'er? Colliers? Wu Sansi? Wu Yizong? ”
Cui Geng shook his head slightly and said, "Then it's not up to the lower officials to know." However, I guess Wu Sansi is the most likely. ”
"Because it was Wu Sansi who recommended Hu Chao to investigate this case?"
Cui Geng shook his head and said, "It's not all, it's just an intuition." ”
In fact, there is still a sentence he didn't say, Shangguan Wan'er and Gao Lishi both said that they had nothing to do with Hu Chao, Wu Yizong basically only cares about corruption and bribery now, isn't there only Wu Sansi left?
Zhang Changzong said: "Cui Kaogong's intuition, the official still believes it!" What does Wu San think about? Doesn't he just want the official to fight with the prince, and he will benefit from the fisherman? No problem, when the time comes, it's just a matter of relying on means. ”
Zhang Yizhi's eyes lit up, and he said: "In this way, Wu Sansi will definitely make the crimes of King Shao and others confirmed?" ”
Zhang Changzong smiled sympathetically and said, "Hehe, even if you don't hit, it's not far away!" ”
……
……
The next day, the Prince's East Palace.
The situation was urgent, and Cui Geng had to take a risk and visit Li Xian and Empress Wei together with Wei Shifang.
Empress Wei was much more calm at this time than when she asked Cui Geng for help.
After listening to Cui Geng's speculation, she chuckled lightly and said disapprerovingly: "If that Hu Chao is Wu Sansi's person, it would be fine." The two children in this palace will be safe and sound. ”
Cui Geng shook his head and said: "Weichen doesn't see it that way, Wu San thinks about the ambition of the wolf son, and always covets the position of the prince. Obviously, this time he wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to form a mortal enmity with the Zhang brothers, and the three Highnesses are afraid of their lives! ”
"How is that possible?" Empress Wei shook his head and said: "Wu Sansi has already sworn a poisonous oath in the Taimiao, and the Wu and Li families have been friends from generation to generation, how can they go back on their word?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really wants to break his oath, what about his own nephew Wu Yanji here? ”
Cui Geng said disapprenously: "In front of the throne, there are a lot of fratricidal things, and you still care about a nephew?" ”
"You ......" Wei Hou was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "This palace sees that you are prejudiced against King Liang!" ”
"Am I biased against him?" Cui Genghao was so unhappy that he said: "Weichen and King Liang had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, why should they be prejudiced against him?" ”
In fact, what Cui Geng said was not entirely accurate, of course he and Wu Sansi had a grudge.
But then again, this big feud is that Cui Geng chose to be loyal to Li Xian and did not choose Wu Sansi, no matter how thick-skinned Empress Wei is, he can't talk about this.
So, she was speechless again, and said angrily: "What do you refute what this palace says, Cui Geng, do you take this palace in your eyes?" ”
Cui Geng argued: "Weichen just put you in his eyes and reminded you to take precautions as soon as possible." Otherwise, Wei Chen didn't say anything, and saw King Shao lead his neck and kill him, is it to respect you? ”
"Erlang, you don't have to say a word."
Li Xian understood that his wife still had some talents, but after Wu Sansi was involved, her IQ dropped a little, and she definitely had to be blocked by Cui Geng again.
He thought for a moment and said, "Erlang, your words are not unreasonable. The words of the crown princess, uh...... It also makes sense. In this way, it is better for this king to be a peacemaker, and the two of you will not argue. ”
Cui Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Can this matter not be disputed?" What if Hu Chao really convicts King Shao? ”
"Alas, then you can only blame Shao'er and Hui'er for their miserable lives. Could it be that Cui Aiqing, what trick can you hold on to Hu Chao? I'm afraid it's unlikely. ”
Cui Geng thought for a moment and said deflatedly: "Hu Chao has been alchemy in the palace, his martial arts are quite high, and he has won the trust of His Majesty. The subordinate officer dealt with him, and he was really like a mouse pulling a wood and couldn't get his mouth out! ”
"Still, in that case, what can we do? You can't tear your face with Wu Sansi because of suspicion, right? What else can we do besides these two things? ”
Cui Geng thought about it carefully, and Li Xian's words were not completely unreasonable. Now the key is Hu Chao, and Hu Chao has no way to say anything, what else can he do except resign himself to fate?
He smiled bitterly: "In this way, it seems that Weichen is too troublesome." ”
"You can't say that......"
Li Xian comforted Cui Geng a few more words, but Cui Geng was in a bad mood, his left ear went in, and he came out of his ear, and he responded casually.
After a while, he got up and took his leave.
Looking at his distant back, Li Xian sighed and said, "It's over, this king and you are so aggressive, Cui Geng hasn't come up with any good ideas, it seems that he really has no good ideas." ”
"What agitation? There is no agitation in this palace! Empress Wei said angrily: "You also suspect King Liang? ”
Although Li Xian did have doubts about Wu Sansi in his heart, he couldn't bear to refute Empress Wei's face, shook his head and said, "Regarding King Liang, King Gu can still be trusted. It's just that Cui Geng can't influence Hu Chao, so Hui'er and Run'er will inevitably worry about their lives. ”
As long as Wu Sansi was not involved, Empress Wei's IQ quickly returned to normal, worried; "So what do we do?"
"There is no way, I can only hope that Cui Geng can come up with a way to break the situation in the past half a month. In addition, let's do one thing, maybe we can make up for it. ”
"What's the matter?"
Li Xian's eyes rolled and said, "You go and call Bao'er!" ”
