Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Hurrah!"

The heavy wooden door of Wuzhuang Temple was opened, and a group of elite soldiers rushed out quickly, surrounding all the monks on the scene, and at the same time separating the common people from the monks.

The common people did not leave. Buddhism dispatched so many people to take the lead. This is obviously the rhythm of a big event. growing trend.And some people who have already got the news looked at everything in the field, showing a look of great interest, guessing how the court should solve this matter, and it is even more impossible to leave.

As the guards came out, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids, arranged in two rows, extending from the inside of the gate to the front of the monks - vaguely connected to the main hall of Zhenyuan Palace.

Seeing this battle, even people who don't understand etiquette can understand that this is the rhythm of important people coming out, and in the entire Wuzhuang temple, there is only one other than the emperor who is qualified to use this kind of etiquette Prince.

So the people onlookers suddenly became excited, this trip was really worth it, no matter seeing the emperor or seeing the prince, it was enough to make them cheer and brag with their companions for a long time after dinner.

"His Royal Highness is here."

This voice proved their guess even more, and at the same time, it also made the people boil to the extreme. Some people even disregarded the guards' obstruction, and wanted to push the guards away and rush into the circle to get closer to the prince. Fortunately, those who had such thoughts There are not many people, and the crown prince is sacred and inviolable in the eyes of more people, the kind that can only be seen from a distance, coupled with the hard work of the guards, they finally blocked some impulsive people from outside.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Another long shout, four guards with knives came out first, followed by four maids, and then four eunuchs, after the eunuchs, came out a man wearing a robe, red lips and white teeth, heroic and extraordinary, showing the king in his strides The handsome young man, behind him, there are more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs standing closely, shouting and hugging, showing endless aura.

After Li Zhen came out, the atmosphere among the people reached a climax, especially some of the women...

"His Royal Highness came out, and it was exactly as I imagined."

"His Royal Highness is so handsome, I really want to marry him."

"Heroic and valiant, he looks like His Majesty today."

"His Royal Highness is so handsome, I want to have a monkey with you."

"His Royal Highness, look here, I can let you sleep for free."

"..."

Li Zhen is embarrassed, knowing that the atmosphere of Datang is open, but this is too open, right?And this aunt, you look like you are fifty, and you can't sleep for free. Are you happy or not?And this little lady?You are young enough, but what happened to those two children in your arms?Are you sure your husband won't be jealous if you call me that?

……

Please forgive me, I am still a child.

Of course, it's not just women, men's performance is not much worse. Unlike women who want to sleep with Li Zhen, they are more sighing.

"It's really majestic. If I can have such a beautiful day, I will admit it even if I lose 100 years of life."

"I don't dare to think about being the same as the prince. I just thought that if I could be by the prince's side, it would be nice to be a guard."

"Have you seen that, the one next to His Royal Highness is the little Fuzi, Eunuch Fu, who has established six edicts by himself, and a great hero who is as famous as the current Governor of Nanyang, Wang Xuance, and is also very majestic..."

"..."

These words actually fell into Li Zhen's ears, nothing else mattered, but the last sentence surprised him: What do you mean?Are there still people who envy eunuchs these days?And what happened to this being as famous as Wang Xuance?When did little Fuzi become so famous?

He hurriedly looked at Xiao Fuzi suspiciously.

But Xiao Fuzi can't wait to bite that bastard to death, what do you mean?Do you think our family has lived too long?His Royal Highness is now, if you don't flatter His Royal Highness, why do you mention me?

Also, who spread the word?How can I compare with Wang Xuance?Does this hold me too high?Who can live the longest in the palace?He is a down-to-earth person.

King Xuance is recognized as a rising star in the official circles of the Tang Dynasty. I am just a little eunuch. If you ask me to be mentioned alongside him, this is not flattering me, it is driving me to die.

Seeing Li Zhen's gaze sweeping over him, Xiao Fuzi became even more desperate, and forced a smile, "His Royal Highness, I don't know about this matter, and I think it's rumored outside...Your Highness, this is not the time to talk about this. The most important thing is to deal with Master Xuangong."

"Forget it, I didn't say anything." Seeing Xiao Fuzi's appearance, Li Zhen understood that he didn't know about this matter, and it should have been spread in private...

But speaking of it, this little Fuzi is really a bit similar to Wang Xuance in some respects—for example, both of them went on missions to foreign countries in an open and aboveboard manner, both were betrayed by surprise, and both of them were betrayed in time after being betrayed. Escaping and determined to take revenge, all alone go deep into the...

Although the two have different methods of revenge, the strange thing is that both of them succeeded, and they both managed to accomplish great things with a small amount of energy and a small amount of energy. reaped great benefits.

The difference is that Wang Xuance borrowed the military power of Nibhara, and used open and aboveboard methods to destroy the Festival Dynasty, which seemed to be a conspiracy; but Xiao Fuzi used the power left to him by Li Zhen, using The method of assassination messed up the situation in Liuzhao, but they used conspiracy methods.Coupled with Xiaofuzi's status as a eunuch, in the eyes of some people, Xiaofuzi is not as good as Wang Xuance.

But no matter what, the credit of the two is the same in Li Zhen's eyes. One defeated the great enemy for the Tang Dynasty in advance, and killed King Jieri, messed up the situation in North Tianzhu, and conquered North Tianzhu for the Tang Dynasty The prerequisites are provided, otherwise, with the presence of King Jieri, it may not be so easy for Datang to gain a firm foothold on the Tianzhu continent so easily. Tang didn't have five years and the sacrifice of at least [-] elites plus countless supplies. If he wanted to conquer the Tianzhu Continent, he would never even think about it.

And Xiaofuzi is not bad at all, even the situation in Liuzhao is even more chaotic, and if he is not careful, he will die in Huangquan, but Xiaofuzi responded calmly, starting from the root cause, directly killing Liuzhao, the leader of the hawk faction who just took office, After being assassinated again, not only did he survive, but he also forced the situation in Liuzhao into chaos, which provided precious time for Datang to react.

Chapter 1049 Master Xuan Gong

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Suppose, if the situation at that time was not so smooth, if Xiao Fuzi really died at the hands of Liuzhao that time, what serious consequences would have happened?

First of all, with the support of Cheng Jianxi, Liuzhao will quickly stabilize, and then if Li Zhen does not expect, the stabilized Liuzhao will definitely follow Chengjianxi's preparations and attack the transportation line from Nanyang to Tianzhu in the south— —Don’t think that Liuzhao won’t listen to them. Don’t say that the six chiefs are puppets supported by Cheng Jianxi, but that Liuzhao has occupied the six southwest states of Datang at this time, and even killed those sent by Datang Officials, they have already offended Datang to death. Once Datang recovers, how can the mere Six Edicts stop Datang's crazy counterattack?

So if they don't want to die, they can only let Datang die. According to the current situation, as long as the transportation line from Datang to Tianzhu is cut off, then Datang will really die.

Because once there is a problem with the transportation line, coupled with the Nanyang Hou Junji's rebellion, Nanyang will not be able to open up a second road for a while, and the 25 troops fighting in Tianzhu will be in a state of exhaustion. Sea transportation is not impossible. In fact, material transportation has always been carried out in parallel by sea and land.The problem is that Datang’s supplies to support Tianzhu are all concentrated in Nanyang, and the sea supplies are placed in Fuchun Port, which is less than two hundred miles away from Hou Junji’s lair. Hou Junji’s chaos, Fuchun Port was taken away by him If we go, half of the sea route will be abandoned, and it will be too late to urgently mobilize from Lingnan, and there are not so many materials for Li Zhen to collect.If the land route is cut off again at this time, the supplies of Tianzhu's hundreds of thousands of troops will really be over.

Under such circumstances, as long as there is an attack from the South Tianzhu Alliance, the 25 troops will at least have to confess that there are more than [-] troops there - then things will be fun, and Li Zhen will definitely be responsible for this matter. If those brothers in Chang'an were active again, maybe his position as the crown prince would be lost.Coupled with the economic crisis that has already begun to emerge in Datang, the entire empire may collapse.

In fact, Nan Tianzhu did exactly this, and they almost succeeded, but they didn't expect that Datang would actually take down a cavalry from the Tubo plateau, because they missed this trick, so they failed, and let Datang reacted again and stabilized the front again. In addition, Liuzhao fell into chaos again, the land logistics supply line was opened up again, and the morale of the Tang army recovered. They lost this only opportunity.

So from a certain point of view, Xiao Fuzi's actions are equivalent to saving the Tang Empire, and this kind of contribution is even greater than Wang Xuance's one-man destruction of one country.

Seeing that Xiao Fuzi was still wary, Li Zhen said again: "Besides, you did a good job this time. If it wasn't for your status, just because of your merits, I would have to be like Wang Xuance to give you a gift from your father." The emperor begged for a governor-general."

Xiao Fuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He has been with Li Zhen all year round, and it can be said that he knows him better than Li Zhen herself. Knowing that he can say such a thing, this proves that Li Zhen really didn't take this matter to heart.

"Hehe... I don't want to be a governor, I just want to serve His Highness in this life."

"Let's not talk about it." Li Zhen didn't pursue this matter too much, but continued to walk forward—even though she had experienced so much before, in fact, it was only two short steps from the outside world. Yuntian Temple Although the monks said that they blocked the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, they were actually located on the square outside Wuzhuang Temple, and there was no such thing as blocking the door to prevent people from passing.

There are only [-] monks in Yuntian Temple. This time it can be said that there are all kinds of monks, some of them are old and some are young. His eyelids are closed, his face is wrinkled and wrinkled, his lips and cheeks are deeply sunken, obviously because he has no teeth to support him--to put it bluntly, this is an old monk who has no days to live.

Although his appearance is ordinary, Li Zhen dare not neglect this person at all, because this old man is Master Xuangong, who is the highest in both seniority and status in Lingnan Buddhist circles, and his prestige is even higher. In his heart, he was like a reincarnated living Buddha. Even Li Zhen would have to bear with such a person.

"I've seen Master Xuan Gong. Master, you are old and old. Why do you need to get involved in this matter? This muddy water is not easy." Li Zhen's courtesy was very thoughtful, but her tone was very rude. It disrupted his plan. Although he would eventually take this step, the lack of the middle link saved him a lot of delay.

"Amitabha, this poor monk has no choice but to forgive you, Your Highness." Master Xuan Gong finally opened his eyes, only to see that his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and his vitality had almost dissipated. It can be seen that this time running around has really completely cut off his vitality. , Li Zhen could see that he was in a state of exhaustion without a doctor's examination at all, and now he could live only by the breath in his heart. If the breath in his heart dissipated, then he would really die completely.

"The poor monk is unwell and can't get up to see the ceremony. Please forgive me, Your Highness." He is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. On the contrary, monks like him usually understand the etiquette in detail, and the humility and tolerance of Buddhism Cultivated to the extreme—the reason why Li Zhen doesn’t like Buddhism is because there are too many fake monks in Buddhism, who are full of benevolence and morality, but in fact they are male robbers and prostitutes behind their backs. If all the monks in the world are like Master Xuangong or Xuanzang For a person like a mage, not only will Li Zhen not ban Buddhism, but she will also take the initiative to promote Buddhism... Well, of course, the premise is that the monks must get married, otherwise, even if Buddhism is good, if the whole world becomes a monk, then human beings will become monks. Really going extinct.

"..." The old man was a little interesting.

This is Li Zhen's first impression. Even if others have to, they will never say it so blatantly. After all, the person who can make him have to have a higher status. Since you have listened to his order, Of course, you have to do things for it with all your heart. How can you directly tell others about your difficulties?

But Master Xuangong was different, except that he was senior enough to not give anyone face, even if he came to besiege the palace this time, the main reason was for the tooth relic, not to obey someone's order.Another reason is that Master Xuangong's time is short, and he may not be able to go back this time. He can be regarded as dying for Buddhist affairs, and those high-level Buddhists will never blame him for this incident. On the contrary, it may also be because of guilt, and it may not necessarily give Yuntian Temple more benefits.

"Since it is a last resort, why should the mage come?"

Master Xuangong took a few breaths, it can be seen that he had exhausted a lot of energy just to say a few words, with the help of two young monks, he finally breathed evenly, and then continued to whisper Said: "It is because I have to, I have to come."
