Chapter 1000: Pindao has blocked the nether world, Li Erfeng, you go ahead and deal with the Turkic people
Just when Kong Qingzheng quietly dug into the walls of the Fahua Sect with the help of internal thieves, and stole... No! It should be said that when he rescued those secret realms that were harmed by the Fahua Sect into his own realm of the pot, in
His Majesty Li Shimin, who was in the Imperial City, was also listening to the report of Lord Curly Tongue Zhang Liang in the Zhaode Hall.
"After I declared those Buddhist sects to be rebellious last time, these monks actually did nothing?"
His Majesty Li Shimin looked at Zhang Liang with some surprise.
"Zhang Qing, are you sure... I'm talking about colluding with believers to conspire against each other, isn't that true at all?"
"Return to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Liang answered Li Shimin respectfully.
"Those Buddhist sects really didn't move at all, they were very calm, as if..."
When he said this, Zhang Liang also had some doubts on his face.
"...It seems that the incident of them helping Li Jiancheng in treason has never happened before, and they have never been caught on the spot by Your Majesty!"
"really weird……"
Li Shimin touched the curly short beard on his chin with his hand and replied thoughtfully.
"Could it be that these monks know they can't fight me, so..."
Having said this, Li Shimin himself shook his head.
"Impossible! Even if these monks knew they were outmatched, they couldn't just sit back and wait for death. But why did they remain unmoved even after they knew they had offended me and were charged with treason? Could it be..."
Li Shimin frowned, with a suspicious look on his face.
"Zhang Qing, do you think those monks have some hidden killer moves, so they are confident?"
"this……"
When he said this, a strange look appeared on Zhang Liang's face. He bent down and answered respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I discovered that these monks do not seem to have any hidden killer moves, but rather they do not know that their treason has been exposed!"
"have no idea……"
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Li Shimin asked doubtfully.
"Zhang Qing, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty!"
Zhang Liang continued to bend down and answered respectfully.
"After my investigation, I found that none of the monks in the Chengshi sect, the Kushe sect, or the Jiron sect, who acted as if nothing had happened, knew that they had participated in the conspiracy and the fact had been exposed!"
"..."
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Li Shimin was immediately stunned.
"They don't know, it's impossible! Zhang Qing, are you sure what you said is the truth? If nothing else, just after I declared them rebellious, couldn't they feel the hostility and rejection of Long Qi?
"
"this……"
Zhang Liang, with a strange expression on his face, continued to bow and answer.
"I was also confused and secretly tested several monks of the Chengshi Sect with my innate magical powers. Finally, I found that they did feel the hostility of the Dragon Qi, but because Your Majesty's decree to declare them rebellious was not revealed to the world.
, so they had no idea that the reason why they were hostile to Long Qi was because they were declared rebellious by Your Majesty, and they thought this was a normal situation!"
"There is such a thing!"
After hearing Zhang Liang's explanation, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little confused.
"So many so-called 'eminent monks' were present at that time. Could it be that they didn't tell other monks when they went back?"
"this……"
Zhang Liang also answered confused.
"I don't know, but the monks of those sects really don't know that the sect's conspiracy has been exposed!"
“It’s so puzzling!”
Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and then he couldn't figure out the reason at all. He could only wave his hand and motioned for Zhang Liang to leave first.
"Okay! I already know this. Zhang Qing, you can retreat."
"yes!"
After hearing what Li Shimin said, Zhang Liang respectfully agreed and then withdrew.
After Zhang Liang left, Li Shimin thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, so he picked up his pen and scribbled a note, then folded the note and sealed it, and called a waiter in from outside the door.
.
"You should go to Shangshu Province immediately, give this note of mine to Xuanling, and ask him to go to the Taishi Bureau for me and ask Qingwei about the issues in this note."
"yes!"
After the chamberlain respectfully agreed, he stretched out his hands to take the sealed note from Li Shimin and retreated from Zhaode Hall.
…
Half an hour later, Zuo Fuxingjun Fang Xuanling, who had changed into plain clothes, was already sitting in the small courtyard dedicated to Taishi Ling of the Taishi Bureau, drinking tea with a white-clothed Taoist priest who had no mana fluctuations on his face with a friendly look on his face.
Chatted.
"Qingwei, this is the situation. Your Majesty is very puzzled by the behavior of these monks, so I asked someone to ask you what is the reason why these monks are so calm? Is there something hidden that is detrimental to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Oh! So His Majesty is worried about this matter..."
After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Kong Qing's clone who was specially assigned to handle Taishi Ling's official duties immediately picked up the milk tea, took a sip, and then said with a relaxed expression.
"I would also like to ask my roommate to tell Your Majesty that what Curly Tongue Star Lord Zhang Liang said is true. The reason why these monks are calm and composed is because they actually don't know that their treason has been exposed, that's all!"
"oh!"
Hearing Kong Qing's unequivocal answer, Fang Xuanling immediately showed an unexpected expression.
"Qingwei, how dare you be so sure?"
"That's naturally because..."
Kong Qing's clone put down the milk tea in his hand, and then nodded to himself with a casual expression.
"This matter was caused by me, Pindao!"
"What? It was you, Qingwei, who did this..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Fang Xuanling stroked his beard with his hand and thought for a moment. A look of understanding suddenly appeared on his face. He leaned forward and asked.
"I understand. Could it be that after Li Jiancheng led his people to retreat into the Netherworld, Qingwei, didn't you also follow him into the Netherworld?"
"good!"
Kong Qing's clone nodded, then tapped the ground with his hand.
"At the beginning, Buddhism fully supported Li Jiancheng's counterattack and even sneaked into the imperial city with the intention of making a sneak attack... His Majesty was forced to declare that those Buddhist sects were rebellious and suppressed them by using the strong dragon energy in Chang'an Imperial City. However, His Majesty's
This move is not without consequences..."
"Um!"
Fang Xuanling nodded along.
"Indeed, since the decree was announced that day, His Majesty has been worried that those monks who know that they have been labeled as rebellious will simply make up their minds and instigate believers to rebel. Therefore, even the guards who had gathered to go north to the Turks did not dare to do so.
We have been waiting for these monks to show signs of rebellion before taking action."
"Well! The poor Taoist master also saw this situation, so when Li Jiancheng retreated into the Netherworld, he took the initiative to follow him in. He used an artifact given by Taishang Daozu to seal the Netherworld, and sent Li Jiancheng and those who knew about His Majesty's decree
The 'eminent monks' are all trapped in the Netherworld... Of course, as a price, the poor Taoist himself is also in the Netherworld now and cannot return for the time being!"
With that said, Kong Qing picked up the milk tea and took a long sip.
"This is why Your Majesty found out that those Buddhist sects had clearly been exposed for conspiracy, but still acted as if nothing had happened, because all the insiders are now trapped in the netherworld with the poor Taoist deity, and there is no way to return.
Within our own sect, there is no way to tell other monks in the sect that they have been exposed!"
"I see!"
After listening to Kong Qing's words, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Fang Xuanling's face.
"I finally understand... By the way, Qingwei, how long can your deity hold off Li Jiancheng and those monks in the Netherworld?"
Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling also showed a little bit of embarrassment on her face.
"Qingwei, didn't you say..."
"My landlord understands what he means!"
Kong Qing's clone raised his hand, waved it towards Fang Xuanling with a smile, and then said.
"If Pindao can hold off Li Jiancheng for a long time, then the guards assembled by the imperial court can continue to go north as planned to assist the Tuli Khan in dealing with the Jieli Khan, thereby solving the Turkic problem once and for all.
But if Pindao cannot delay for a long time, then the Guards must first clean up the country and uproot all the rebellious Buddhist sects... Of course, the price of doing this is that they may have to give up going north to solve this good problem of the Turks.
Opportunity!"
"Qingwei, what you said is absolutely true!"
After listening to Kong Qing's words, Fang Xuanling immediately nodded.
"Now that the imperial court has limited money and food, it is impossible to deal with these Buddhist sects while also taking care of the Turks, so there must be a front and a back, a light and a heavy, so..."
"I understand!"
Kong Qing's clone nodded with a smile and continued.
"I also ask Fang Gong to reply to Your Majesty, saying that since Pindao is too high in line with the decree of the Taoist ancestors and supports Your Majesty to become the Emperor of Taiping, then Pindao will do his best to delay Pindao in the Netherworld for as long as Your Majesty wants!"
"Very good!"
As soon as Kong Qing's clone finished speaking, Fang Xuanling stood up excitedly.
"I will return to the palace immediately to tell His Majesty the details, and then quickly send the guards north to solve the problem of the Turks. After the border problems are solved, I will be free to deal with these Buddhist monks..."
Having said this, Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment, and a look of concern suddenly appeared on his face.
"Qingwei, do you know how your deity is doing in Netherworld now? Can he survive until then? Does he need help from the imperial court... In fact, if the imperial court squeezes in now, it can still mobilize some troops!"
"No need!"
Kong Qing's clone waved his hand casually and continued.
"The Yin Qi in the Netherworld is too strong. Except for those who are accomplished practitioners and gods like you, Fang Gong, it is best for the rest of the living people not to come down... As for the poor Taoist deity's condition in the Netherworld...
…”
With that said, Kong Qing's clone picked up the milk tea cup in his hand with a calm expression on his face and raised it towards Fang Xuanling.
"Fang Gong, if you see that Pindao is still acting as if nothing has happened, you should know that he is not in any danger. Maybe after some time, Fang Gong, if you ask Pindao again, you will find that I have already put those people in the netherworld.
The rebellion in Buddhism has been solved!"
"Huh...I understand!"
Although Kong Qing's clone said with a relaxed expression that he had no problem at all, Fang Xuanling didn't believe it at all. He stood up from his position with an expression of admiration and bowed deeply towards Kong Qing.
"Qingwei, you took the initiative to go deep into the Netherworld for the sake of His Majesty and the future of the Tang Dynasty. I really admire you... Please accept my worship!" This chapter has been completed!
