The National Manga Alliance started from the Green Snake Tribulation

Chapter 155 He finally gave the people of the world an explanation

Emperor Tang was also very annoyed, but not because of Liu Zongyuan's death, but because, on the day Liu Zongyuan died, a shocking court secret broke out in circles of scholars all over the Tang Dynasty!

This anecdote revealed the truth about the large-scale snake hunting across the country, and revealed the real reason why tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou were in dire straits!

The national teacher needs to use the snake element to cultivate Taoism, which is the second.

The most exciting news is—the essence of the snake blood was actually supplied to Emperor Tang, all he wanted was for his own immortality!
In short, the Tang emperor and the national teacher cooperated to share the spoils, and they wanted to exterminate the snakes in the world just for their own self-interest, and at the same time put a heavy burden on the shoulders of the people. What these two people did is simply outrageous!
Soon, the spread of this secret was not only limited to the circle of scholars, but even ordinary farmers, traffickers, and pawns were discussing this matter. It was a crime of disrespect to talk about ordinary people and the court, but when the whole world When talking about it, it becomes commonplace.

For a time, people from all over the country, especially those in Yongzhou City, protested one after another. In some places, the people were more irritable, and even surrounded the state capital.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be civil uprisings.

Seeing that the people all over the world were eccentric, Tang Huang certainly would not sit idly by and ordered people to quickly find out the source of the news.

It turned out that because Liu Zongyuan was the most talented and learned in the Tang Dynasty, many scholars all over the world admired him, and many of them were Liu Zongyuan's anonymous students.

Before coming to Chang'an City, Liu Zongyuan had secretly entrusted this secret to many students, and stated:
If Chang'an and his party can be summoned by the Tang Emperor this time and persuade him to withdraw the snake-catching order, everyone will be happy, and the secret can be destroyed immediately... After all, as soon as this news comes out, if it causes turmoil in the world, That would become a situation that Liu Zongyuan never wanted to see.

Therefore, if he had no other choice, Liu Zongyuan would not expose it even if he held this trump card.

And the so-called last resort refers to the fact that Liu Zongyuan has no chance to face the saint, that is to say... he is dead.

After Liu Zongyuan's death, those scholars revealed the secret in the first time, and spread it widely, so that the current situation came into being.

To put it simply, Liu Zongyuan actually gave Tang Huang a chance, but Tang Huang didn't cherish it, so he can't blame others.

As for where Liu Zongyuan got the news, it is impossible to know.

I heard that Liu Zongyuan liked Buddhism since he was a child, he has studied Buddhism and Taoism, and he has a close relationship with some Buddhist bigwigs, and it happens that Buddhism is also very dissatisfied with Taoism's monopoly on the world's incense, so the secret may come from the investigation of Buddhism ?

But now in the Tang Dynasty, Dao is more important than Buddhism, and those who are truly Daoists are never easily revealed to the world. Even if the Emperor Tang wanted to find someone to settle accounts, he was a little bit helpless.

In this way, it became a case without a clue, and it was meaningless to pursue the murderer, and he could only think about how to deal with the aftermath.

Of course, there are also people who doubt the authenticity of this news, but Liu Zongyuan, a great scholar of a generation, has declared his ambition by death, how dare you doubt it?I'm afraid I'm going to be sprayed to death by the mouth of the world's scholars.

Emperor Tang frowned to relieve his headache, and then said to the personal eunuch, "Master Chuan Guo came to see me."

The eunuch took the order to retreat, but he had just taken two steps before being recalled by Emperor Tang.

Emperor Tang hesitated for a while, and finally added: "You might as well call Concubine Ming over. Anyway, this is the end of the matter, so my future plans... can't be hidden from her."

As a modern person, Zhou Wu has a better understanding of the celebrity effect, especially he knows that although there are some scholars who are greedy for life and fear of death, if they really get stubborn, a weak scholar will dare to confront ten warriors.

So he just sat in the small courtyard and counted, and what he guessed was very different from Tang Huang's knowledge.

That Liu Zongyuan was indeed not a simple reckless man, when he left Yongzhou, he already had a perfect plan.

From the moment he knelt at the gate of the palace, he was destined not to lose.

Regardless of whether Liu Zongyuan is alive or dead, regardless of whether he can be summoned by the Tang Emperor, he has given an explanation to the people of Yongzhou and the people of the world by writing a letter to abolish snake hunting.

He did what he said.

But from another perspective, he is doomed to be a loser, because he won't get any benefit, and he will offend Emperor Tang, or lose his own life, just for... those completely irrelevant strangers?
After his death, will the people burn a piece of paper for him or sprinkle a pot of wine on him?
Simply stupid!
Zhou Wu couldn't figure out why he was angry, but he just felt good. After snorting for a few times, he rushed back to the back room like a nervous wreck and took out a large jar of old wine that his men had just served a few days ago.

Remove the cork from the altar, the aroma of wine is tangy.

Zhou Wu hugged the bottom of the jar, turned towards the gate of the palace, and poured the whole jar of wine on the ground...

farewell.

……

At the same time, in the imperial palace, in the royal study.

Emperor Tang fixed his eyes on Zhenjun Taiyin, the national teacher: "I have decided to abolish the snake-catching order immediately."

Taiyin Zhenjun was silent for a long time before replying: "Your Majesty has already thought about the follow-up countermeasures?"

Tang Huang said leisurely: "Snake essence is the most suitable for you and me, but there is no substitute... Although the replacement effect is small, if the quantity is sufficient, the final effect will actually be better than now. .”

True Lord Taiyin nodded lightly, and pondered: "To deal with the demon kingdom in the southern border, it will have to pay a huge price. Is Your Majesty prepared?"

Tang Huang sneered: "It's just that the action has been brought forward for a while... This battle is inevitable, isn't it?"

"That's the truth." Taiyin Zhenjun sighed: "When I dealt with Heiyu last time, I wanted to use some means to contain the snake mother, but I didn't think about it. The spies sent a message saying that it was a long time ago , Snake Mother quietly led many of her subordinates to the Southern Border Demon Kingdom, and the few little demons left behind were nothing more than a cover."

"The snake mother is the mother of all snakes in the world. Only by obtaining her snake essence and demon blood essence can I help you and me to unify the massive chaotic essence that had been swallowed up in our bodies. And the step of unification is only It can be put at the end, so it gave the snake mother a chance and let her escape to the southern border."

"There is a demon king in southern Xinjiang who had a close relationship with the snake mother in his early years. In addition, he has been hostile to my Tang Dynasty for a long time. It is really impossible for them to surrender the snake mother obediently."

Tang Huang's demeanor became relaxed, "If you don't hand over, wouldn't it be a good time to use this as an excuse to completely wipe out the demon country... There are countless big demons with yin attributes in the demon country, and after they are completely absorbed, they will devour the snake mother. The two of us can't say that we can take that step that no one has ever done before."

"That's the truth." After Zhenjun Taiyin pondered for a while, he added: "But we still know too little about the internal information of the Demon Kingdom... Because of the protection of the ancient formation, no human being can enter it. Previously, I have caught a few little demons going out, but those little demons have strong tempers and low status, and they did not provide much useful information, so this matter..."

"This matter is really difficult..." Emperor Tang frowned again, waved his hands a little impatiently and said: "The snake catching order will be abolished first, and the matter of attacking the demon country will be discussed in the long term... If it is not possible, just You can pay more for it.”

True Lord Taiyin nodded slightly, but did not make any other responses.

After the two of them finished their discussion, Emperor Tang turned to Concubine Ming and asked, "Do you have anything to say, Concubine Ming?"
