Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

It's mostly noodles, and there's nothing good to say about it.

But Wu Sansi recognized Chen E, his eyes couldn't help shrinking.

Since the tentative confrontation with Chen E more than 20 years ago, this person has disappeared, leaving behind a family of women in the mansion. He once moved the minds of Chen E's three daughters, but Mei Niang warned him sternly not to touch every plant and tree in the Chen mansion. , that's all.

Seeing Chen E again at this moment, her voice and smile have not changed at all, but she has become a middle-aged man with a big belly.

But he still did not give up on Chen E, he knew that Chen E could influence the queen.

Li Dan also recognized Chen E, and recalled that Emperor Taizong Tuo Meng told him that Chen E was trustworthy and that he had to rely on his confidant to rejuvenate the Tang Dynasty, his eyes became a little deep.

Li Longji was only ten years old, but he had an indescribable intimacy with Chen E, so he turned his head and asked, "Auntie, nephew seems to have seen this person before."

Li Lingyue asked with a half-smile, "This person has been missing for more than twenty years, where have you seen him?"

"This"

Li Longji scratched the back of his head.

Li Lingyue shook her head secretly.

Silly boy, you knew him for decades in your previous life, your death was directly related to him, and your wife was taken away by him. When you know the truth, how will you treat him?

Suddenly Li Lingyue felt a little curious.

"Get off!"

At this time, Feng Xiaobao screamed.

Mei Niang has already boarded the chariot, Wan'er is walking together, there are Yulin army and guards of honor in front, followed by Chen E, Feng Xiaobao and court ladies and eunuchs, all the officials stand in silence, and only follow after the chariot passes by.

The streets along the way have already been swept clean, the branches of the trees are covered with colored silk, and the peony fairy also expended mana to bloom bright peonies. The common people knelt on both sides and shouted long live.

"Um"

Mei Niang nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Xiaobao is still dedicated!"

Wan'er couldn't bear it in her heart. Many ordinary people kneeling beside the road were shivering from the cold, perhaps because their knees were so cold that they couldn't bear it, and they kept dawdling. But soon, she discovered something unusual. Whenever the convoy passed by, the expressions of the ordinary people changed. It became much more natural, and some even appeared comfortable.

She looked back, and saw Chen E's sleeves waving rhythmically from side to side.

Chen E noticed Wan'er's gaze and smiled slightly, the two of them knew each other.

Chen E also noticed the common people who were kneeling to pick up Meiniang along the street in the cold wind. He couldn't stop it, let alone remind Meiniang at this time, otherwise no matter whether it was the Li faction or the martial faction, they would treat him as someone else. , sensationalism.

After all, it is an imperial society, the common people kneel to greet the emperor, so what if they are a little bit cold?

Isn't it justified?

All he can do is to wave his hands and sprinkle his true energy to warm the common people, especially the knee, which can activate blood circulation and unblock collaterals, which can effectively prevent arthritis from freezing.

The team is huge and the footsteps are chaotic. Before you know it, the White Horse Temple is already in front of you.

Hui Neng and Fa Ming led a group of monks out of the temple to welcome them. When Fa Ming saw Chen E, his eyebrows twitched, and a very bad feeling arose in his heart.

But all he could think of was that he had confronted Chen E at the beginning, and he didn't diverge his thinking too much. He thought that after the empress had paid homage to the flesh Buddha, he would find a chance to accompany Chen E.

The Yulin army took over the whole temple early in the night, with three steps for one post and five steps for one sentry. Under the guidance of Huineng and other monks, Meiniang led the clan, nobles and important officials into the Daxiong Hall.

In the hall, in front of Sakyamuni Buddha, there is a golden Buddha statue, wearing cassock, with one palm upright, the other palm spread out, bearing the lotus seal, the body leaning forward slightly, the face is compassionate, and the eyes are specially painted Full of majesty.

"Amitabha"

Huineng shouted the Buddha's name, and said in harmony: "My lord, this body Buddha was presented by Puzhou monks to congratulate me on the great week, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the weather is good. On the day of this Buddha's offering, there was snowfall from the sky. Today, the Holy One came , There will also be auspicious snowfall."

Wu Sansi bowed heavily to Meiniang: "If it wasn't for the innovation of the holy tripod and the establishment of the Great Zhou, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe? At this time, please accept our worship!"

As he said that, he knelt down, cast his body on the ground, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The officials were helpless, they all knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

It is said that this kind of thing was not popular in the imperial court, but Chen E was the one who started it. Li Shimin didn't realize it, and passed it down from generation to generation, and passed it to Mei Niang, and all the emperors tacitly kept it.

And the culprit, Chen E, stood behind Mei Niang with Wan'er, no need to bow down, but moved to the side to avoid suspicion.

"Well, gentlemen, please stand up!"

Mei Niang has seen this kind of scene too many times, her threshold has reached an unlimited limit, she is very calm, but in order not to spoil everyone's excitement, she still pretends to be very happy and nods her head.

"Thank you, Lord!"

The ministers thanked him and got up.

Wu Sansi peeked at the Queen's expression, and his heart was extremely excited.

"My lord, please!"

Hui Neng personally offered incense sticks.

Mei Niang took it, but just put it in the incense burner, bowed her head for a moment, and did not bow down.

After all, she is the Bodhisattva of Eternal Enlightenment, whose rank is equal to that of Guanyin and other eight great Bodhisattvas. If the Tathagata Buddha or the two great saints were in person, she would bow to him, but she couldn't bow to a corpse anyway.

A look of displeasure flashed across Huineng's face, but Faming gave him a wink, signaling not to be troublesome.

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

After Mei Niang had finished offering incense, all the ministers offered incense one by one, and when the last person finished offering incense, fine snowflakes suddenly drifted outside the hall.

"My lord, it's snowing!"

"It's a good omen for snow to fall on the first day of the year. Lord, I will live forever!"

The courtiers who were concerned about the Wu family immediately became irritable.

Wu Sansi gave Li Jingye a wink.

When Wu Chengsi was alive, he advocated going to the descendants of the Tang family and punishing ministers who were not attached to him. The clan of the Tang Dynasty was almost slaughtered. Objectively, it cleared the way for Mei Niang to proclaim herself emperor.

Among them, Li Jingye is the most important knife. He almost ransacked his family and wiped out his family. He was responsible for going to other states to catch criminals. He also knew that he was already tied to the Wu family. , That is to copy the family and exterminate the family.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth fiercely, knelt down and said loudly: "My lord, the gods do not want to be like people, and the family does not worship non-clans. Since ancient times, the emperor has never had an heir with a different surname. Since the Wu family is the emperor, the descendants of the Li family should not be the emperor. Heir, at this time when auspiciousness descends from heaven and the Buddha blesses you, I dare to ask the Holy One to make Wu as his heir!"

In an instant, there was a dead silence in the hall, and the quiet drop of a needle could be heard.

Chen E's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he looked at Li Jingye. He knew that at this moment, Li Jingye's family was ransacked and exterminated. Even if Li Ji came back to life, he would not be able to save him.

Sure enough, Li Dan and his third son, Li Lingyue looked into Li Jingye's eyes, making no secret of their murderous intentions.
