Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Reversal of the Situation

Fat Gonggong said: "Since Li Shimin made Taoism the state religion and built the Sanqing Palace in Chang'an, Taoism has flourished. Wu Zhao also advocated Taoism in the early days. When he first became the Queen of Heaven, he wrote to Emperor Gaozong's "Twelve Things about Jianyan" Since princes and princes, they must study the advice of "Laozi", and I have even entered Taoist temples to practice purely. It is only because later on when I ascended the throne, the Taoists supported Li Tang, so they adopted the policy of advocating Buddhism and suppressing Taoism."

Thinking of the female Taoist temple in Shangyang Palace, Long Ying nodded and said, "What does this have to do with Min Xuanqing?" Fat Gonggong said: "Taoism flourishes, and a hundred flowers bloom naturally. Therefore, there are more than a hundred schools of Taoism, large and small, with Tianshi Dao and Shangqing School as the two main streams for men and women. Min Xuanqing's master Ding Da originally belonged to the Shangqing School. Self-created branch, combining Taoism and the joyful method of Tantric Buddhism, claiming to be first-class, and its pursuit of dual cultivation of men and women is indeed supported by Taoist and Buddhist theories, so it is still regarded as an orthodox side branch by Taoism, and maintains the same line with Shangqing School good relationship."

Long Ying began to understand a little bit, and said: "The Buddhist school has been messed up by Fa Ming, and it seems that the Taoist school is inevitable." Fat Eunuch said: "Exactly. Now you are the savior of Buddhism, and most likely the savior of Taoism. I don't know the real situation, let Min Cai tell you!" Long Ying said: "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Fat Eunuch said: "When I see Wu Zhao tomorrow, think about what you want first, and propose it to Wu Zhao while the iron is hot. Remember to ask her to promise you this way today, and ask her to promise you that way tomorrow, it will make her think you are greedy."

Longying agreed, took his leave and left. Back at Gantangyuan, Longying put everything aside.Including the pain in my heart, enjoying the service of the three women, coming to the back garden after taking a bath, and lying on the couch without thinking about anything. Xiuqing leaned softly on top of him. Long Ying hugged her with one hand and stroked her fragrant back with the other, her thoughts became active.Hei Chi Chang Zhi was assassinated, which hit him hard, brought him the most serious pain since he was sensible, and made him feel hatred.Faintly, he felt that hatred would affect his Dao heart.It does more harm than good.

Xiuqing shyly said: "Master Husband! Why are we still not pregnant with your child? She really wants to have one!" Long Ying kissed her sweet lips, and said lovingly: "The level of my current practice is that I will not have children. I have to go up to another level before I can open up my vitality and let you get pregnant. It is not suitable for us to have children now. , wait for us to stay away from the capital of God, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and build our home. At that time, it will not be a problem how many you love." Xiuqing was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be like this, almost worried us to death!" Get up.Hurry back to the backyard to announce the good news to Renya and Lili.

Long Ying smiled wryly in his heart, what he said to Xiuqing just now was to Yu Tian, ​​it was purely theory, I hope he did not make a mistake in this matter.Remembering that Kou Zhong has no heirs because of practicing "The Secret of Longevity", it is a lie to say that he is not afraid of disappointing his beautiful wives. I couldn't help worrying again.How rare is it to be carefree?Or maybe this state of mind never existed.Was your childhood considered carefree?It doesn't seem to be true, no matter how happy you are, or if you forget your love in the world of books, there are always unstoppable desires and longings in your heart.And what I dreamed of in my youth.Now they have been realized one by one, but there is more or less a gap with the perfection of the dream.

Is there really no perfection in the world?If you think about it, it's not true. When the sword is facing each other, or when a man and a woman are in love, and the love is as strong as fire, it can indeed make people forget everything else. Lili sat down next to his leg, her beautiful eyes shot out passion, she touched his cheek with her hand, and said tenderly: "Master Husband! Yeli! Don't go to bed yet. Tomorrow morning you have to go to the imperial study." Looking up at the night sky, Longying thought that he must study Tubo and Turkic well to prepare for the future.Standing up abruptly, he hugged Lili by the waist.Go back to the inner courtyard.

Entering the imperial study room, Wu Zhao was earlier than him, crouching on the dragon case to review the memorial.After Long Ying said hello, he returned to his own place and began to silently write the ninth chapter. Wu Zhao put down his pen and said, "You can do two things at once, does it have anything to do with Dafa?" Long Ying continued to write quickly, looked at her, and said: "When I was young, I was idle and bored alone, no matter whether I played games or talked, I had to treat myself with one mind and two tasks." Wu Zhao said: "It should have something to do with your talent. The acquired environment only allows your talent to be brought into play. After you come back, have you always been angry with me?"

Longying said: "It's not angry, but worrying. It's like water flowing downwards, but the nature of fire is upwards. The Holy One should understand better than anyone else that if one thing is to be successful, one must follow the trend and wait until the time comes, otherwise it's tantamount to seeking fish from a tree." .Ugh!" Knowing that her words were the prelude to an important speech, Long Ying listened quietly and respectfully.Any mistake by her will affect the common people in the world. Wu Zhao suddenly said: "What happened in the big school yard yesterday morning? Don't hide it, or I will punish Wan'er for deceiving the king."

Long Ying lost his voice: "What's the matter with Guan Wan'er?" Wu Zhao said lightly: "I can't help you, so I have to find someone you care about to sacrifice the flag." Longying surrendered: "Xiaomin smelled the medicinal gas from Ge Yu's body." Wu Zhao was furious and said, "How courageous! Cheng Si really doesn't know how to love himself, he won't change after repeated persuasion, he can't handle big things well, but he's playing tricks on small things." Long Ying dare not answer her. Wu Zhao said: "But you and Guoting seem to know it in advance."

Longying replied: "The king of Wei doesn't know how to hide too much. He looks confident and happy, and his confidence is too high. We noticed that there was a difference, so we made an appointment to leave the court, and I will watch from the sidelines when I find out. Ge Yu's internal energy became strong, and his body smelled like medicine, so he sent a secret signal to the court to come out and stop the contest." Wu Zhao didn't doubt these blunt words, and said slowly, "Tell me frankly, what do you think of Chengsi? I want to hear something pertinent." Long Ying thought to himself that if there was no "Wu Sansi Effect", Wu Zhao would not have listened to Wu Chengsi's opinions, and would have asked for them on his own initiative.It is precisely because if Wu Sansi makes military achievements, he can be replaced by Wu Chengsi. How dare Long Ying answer directly, and said: "Although Kuan Yu, the Turkic national teacher, is our mortal enemy, he said something very interesting, which is the reason behind the act of crossing the Tiger Leaping Gorge on a dragon boat, not only because of my knowledge of the nature of water , the skill of sailing the boat, the perseverance of the will, the most important thing is to see my luck." Wu Zhao frowned and said, "You mean that Cheng Si is unlucky, right?" Long Ying still didn't dare to answer directly, for fear of offending her.He said earnestly and earnestly: "For people with good luck, bad things can turn into good things. It is said that there are mistakes and mistakes; for people with bad luck, good things can turn into bad things." Wu Zhao sighed, thinking of course that Wu Chengsi's ingenious move in the university field yesterday morning had changed.Said: "After writing the ninth chapter, you go to ask the old man to go to court tomorrow morning on my behalf, and tell the old man that I will dismiss Chengsi and let him return to his original post." Longying was taken aback and said: "Absolutely not! In this way the Turkic people will know that we are plotting to deal with them." Wu Zhao said: "Only from this sentence, I know that you really think about my Great Zhou Dynasty. In fact, I am testing you. Then tell the old man instead, and I will let him recommend someone to be an official in Wenchangtai to replace you." Wei Wang's position in the court, while Wei Wang focused on negotiating with the Turks." What Wu Zhao said about becoming an official in Wenchangtai meant being promoted to prime minister.It turns out that after Wu Zetian "personal arbitrariness", the name of the imperial government system was greatly changed. For example, the Shangshu Province was changed to Wenchangtai, and the six subordinate departments were changed from the Ministry of Officials to Tianguan, the Ministry of Households became local officials, the Ministry of Rites was Chunguan, and the Ministry of War was Xiaguan. Official, the Ministry of Punishment is Qiuguan.The other left and right servants are the left and right prime ministers, the province under the gate is Luantai, the servant is Nayan, and the Zhongshu province is Fengge.Like Wu Chengsi's number one advisor, Zhang Jiafu's Fengge Sheren, is equivalent to the chief official of the former Zhongshu Province. Long Ying's heart screamed violently, and he wiped off a cold sweat secretly, serving the king is indeed like serving a tiger.When it comes to playing politics, how can I be Wu Zhao's opponent?And Di Renjie must compromise with Wu Zhao in order to support his own people. Wu Zhao changed the subject and said, "After seeing you last night, I immediately summoned King Liang and told him personally that you strongly recommended him as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army, and that you would like to serve him. Now you want him to give you Whatever you want. Do you understand my painstaking efforts?" Long Ying hurriedly said: "Thank you Lord Long En!" Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just a few good words for you, what is there to thank you for? Now it's your turn to tell the overall plan!" Long Ying said sincerely: "Thank you Lord Long En!" As soon as he stepped out of Shangyang Palace, he was intercepted by Feng Guoting, who led him straight to Dong's restaurant, climbed up to the third floor, and came to the wing room at the end. Di Renjie had twice as many master guards, guarding every key point of the restaurant. It's like facing a big enemy. Di Renjie, Zhang Jianzhi and Wan Renyu were waiting for them in the wing room.After sitting down, Long Ying recounted the conversation with Wu Zhao just now.Then he said: "I have no choice but to recommend Wu Sansi, the only person acceptable to His Majesty, please forgive my difficulties." Di Renjie smiled and said: "How could I blame you, old man? If it were me, I would strongly oppose it because I reject the Wu family's children in my heart. So what if we let him be the commander-in-chief? It is enough to expose his ugliness, but it is the most brilliant way to confuse the enemy." Trick. It’s better that on the surface you and Wu Sansi are on fire, then no one will suspect that you are secretly in charge.” Everyone praises it. Longying thought to himself that ginger is really old and spicy.Said: "The biggest headache now is how to select and train the three thousand elites. I went to see the fat father-in-law last night, and he said that as long as he asked the old man, the problem would be solved." Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi exchanged glances and smiled knowingly. Di Renjie said happily to Zhang Jianzhi, "Did you miss him?" Zhang Jianzhi stroked his beard and nodded. Di Renjie said: "It should be blessed by the spirit of the general. There is indeed a perfect candidate to solve this problem. This person's name is Guo Yuanzhen. He was dismissed from the military because of his involvement and is at home. This person has been in the army for twenty years. For many years, he has been well aware of the situation in the army, proficient in the art of war and military strategy, and possesses both wisdom and courage. If the Holy Majesty is willing to issue an edict to summon him to the Divine Capital and restore him to his original post, he will guarantee that he will die for our Lord Eagle."
