For the ancient magicians to gain power, the process was much easier and the time was much faster than those powerful officials who worked hard to gain qualifications and cultivate party members.
After all, we are a monopoly skilled worker, and cheating is also a skill.
As long as he can see the emperor, as long as he behaves normally in front of the emperor and shows his deceptive tricks, it will be very easy to gain the emperor's trust.
Once he is trusted, the emperor will be astonished and respected as a god. He will give power to you if you ask for it, give money to you if you ask for money.
Once he gains power and acts unscrupulously, all the prime ministers in the dynasty will respect him.
What Li Qinzai is most worried about is this situation.
This traitor who disrupted the imperial court and caused chaos in the world must be eliminated, otherwise Li Qinzai and countless soldiers who shed blood, and everyone's efforts and sacrifices will become meaningless.
"Tell Feng Su to prepare the carriage, I want to return to Chang'an." Li Qinzai ordered with a cold face.
In the front yard of Li's house, Xue Ne and Wu Minzhi were still making a fuss. Bu Qu secretly released the water according to Li Qinzai's instructions. At this moment, Xue Ne was riding on Wu Minzhi, punching him one after another until Wu Minzhi screamed.
Seeing Li Qinzai walking out of the front yard, Xue Ne was stunned. He was about to scold Li Qinzai for cheating him, but he saw Li Qinzai had a cold expression and anxious eyes, and hurried out the door without even saying hello.
Xue Na stopped unconsciously and looked at Wu Minzhi who was riding underneath him in astonishment: "What's wrong with brother Jingchu? What happened?"
Wu Minzhi covered his head with his hands, his expression was very painful, but his eyes showed more excitement after being beaten.
"You don't care what he does, why don't you beat him? You have suffered such humiliation today, are you going to let me go like this? You peed your pants, how can you raise your head to see others in the future?"
The anger that had just subsided burned again, and Xue Ne gritted his teeth: "Thief, you die!"
After saying that, he punched down hard, and Wu Minzhi let out another scream of pleasure.
…………
The carriage swayed slowly and entered Chang'an City more than two hours later.
Just after entering the city gate, Li Qinzai hesitated for a long time, then ordered to drive directly to Taiji Palace.
Li Qinzai was a frequent visitor to Taiji Palace, and most of the guards outside the palace knew him. Soon a eunuch came from the palace and led Li Qinzai into the palace.
After walking a long way, Li Qinzai came to Anren Hall.
Following the rules, I walked into the hall and stood in the hall to salute. Before I even raised my head, I heard Li Zhi's hearty laughter.
"Jingchu, no gift, come quickly, I will introduce you to an expert."
Li Qinzai raised his head, and first saw Li Zhi's face, which was filled with joy after suffering. The gloom and pain on his face in the past few days had disappeared, replaced by joy and excitement.
Then Li Qinzai looked slightly sideways and saw a middle-aged man sitting not far from Li Zhi.
The man was about thirty or forty years old. He was dressed rather strangely. His complexion was as dark as a Kunlun slave. His eyes seemed deep and mysterious, but from time to time there was a hint of darkness.
Li Qinzai knew in his heart that this was probably the magic stick named Lu Jiajiduo.
The two met for the first time at this moment. Lu Jiajiduo knew clearly that the person who assassinated him the day before yesterday was ordered by Li Qinzai. Li Qinzai knew clearly that this man was a monster that brought disaster to the country. However, in front of Li Zhi, the two actually nodded and smiled in a friendly manner.
.
Li Zhi was completely unaware of the grievances between the two. He pointed at Lu Jiajiduo with great interest and said with a smile: "This is a Brahmin from the Wutu Kingdom, named 'Lujiayita'. He has a high status in the Wutu Kingdom."
, all the people in the country respect him as a god."
Pointing to Li Qinzai again, Li Zhi said with a smile: "He is my main minister of the Tang Dynasty, Li Qinzai, the Duke of Liaodong. He is my most trusted minister and my best friend."
Lu Jiajiduo stood up and took the lead in praying to Li Qinzai, clasping his hands and performing a Buddhist ritual.
"The foreign ministers of the small southern barbarian country pay homage to His Excellency Duke Li of the Tang Dynasty."
Li Qinzai also put his hands together and returned the greeting: "Your envoy is very polite."
After the two saluted, they were officially acquainted. Li Zhi waved to him and motioned for him to sit next to him, and then said excitedly: "This envoy has some real abilities. I heard that he can refine the elixir of immortality. Prince
There is hope for my disease!”
Li Qinzai smiled calmly and said: "If this is really the case, I would like to congratulate your Majesty. Your Majesty has received a lot of help. It is precisely because your Majesty is a benevolent monarch and a wise master. God has mercy on you and sent this expert to relieve your majesty's worries."
Li Zhi smiled and shook his head: "What a benevolent monarch. I don't care about these names. I just hope that the prince recovers from his illness and his life goes smoothly from now on. I am satisfied."
Li Qinzai looked at Lu Jiajiduo and said with a smile: "I couldn't see that your envoy can refine the elixir of life, but I was mistaken."
"Emperors throughout the ages have all pursued immortality. From the First Emperor to the late Emperor Taizong, there were many sorcerers in the palace refining elixirs for the emperors. Unfortunately, they eventually passed away, and none of them achieved immortality."
Hearing the edge in Li Qinzai's words, Lu Jiajiduo said calmly: "The person who made the elixir is not right, so of course he cannot make the elixir of immortality."
Li Qinzai raised his eyebrows: "So, your envoy is someone who really knows how to refine elixirs?"
Lu Jiayi said suddenly: "The foreign minister is from Wutu, Tianzhu. Like the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, Tianzhu is also an ancient country with thousands of years of history. The two countries are thousands of miles apart. For thousands of years, only one monk named Xuanzang has gone there.
After traveling to Tianzhu, he obtained the Mahayana Sutra for the Tang Dynasty."
Li Zhi nodded when he heard this. Master Xuanzang's deeds were known throughout the Tang Dynasty.
After Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty after many hardships, Li Shimin specially ordered the construction of the Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an City for him. The original purpose of building the tower was to preserve the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that Xuanzang brought from Tianzhu.
Lu Jiajiduo went on to say: "The Central Plains and the Tang Dynasty have produced numerous sages since ancient times, but we have to admit that the Central Plains has no connection with our Buddha. Buddhism was brought from Tianzhu, so the true scriptures are in Tianzhu, the Dharma is in Tianzhu, and the world is the best.
In Tianzhu, the supreme supernatural power is also in Tianzhu."
Li Zhi frowned, his words were a bit unpleasant, but he had to admit that Lu Jiajiduo was right, and Buddhism was indeed spread from Tianzhu to the Central Plains.
Lu Jiajiduo looked at Li Qinzai and smiled calmly: "Competing with heaven for longevity and competing with earth for blessings is the way to go against heaven. If the great road exists, it must be in the land of blessings of Buddhism. The king who accumulates good deeds and benevolence will be blessed by the Buddha.
Therefore, if you want to prolong your life, you can look at the past and present lives, you will have profound blessings, and the Buddha will allow it."
The conversation was so confusing that Li Qinzai probably understood it.
This means that you Taoist priests in the Central Plains cannot refine the elixir of life, but we in Tianzhu can.
Our Tianzhu Buddhism has great supernatural powers. As long as ordinary people accumulate good deeds and have no sins in the past and present lives, it is not impossible to live forever. The Buddha is so compassionate and will definitely allow it.
Looking at Li Zhi again, his face was full of joy at this moment, and Li Qinzai saw desire in his eyes.
Who wouldn’t be happy to be able to live forever and hold the power of the emperor for thousands of years?
