Chapter 81 Wu Family: A family that hates each other
"This beast is really pretending to be crazy!"
Upon hearing this first sentence, Li Yan knew that Wu Minzhi was pretending to be crazy.
This guy hates Mrs. Rongguo almost to his core.
Drinking and having fun during the mourning period is not because you can't hold it in anymore, but because you are so happy that you don't even want to do superficial things.
If such a person is really crazy, he will be frightened out of his mind by Mrs. Rong Guo's reappearance. He will either yell and curse and reveal all the scandalous things, or he will tremble and remain silent with fear. He will definitely not act like this kind, filial and obedient person.
appearance.
As he entered the main hall, a puff of smoke hit his face.
Li Yan sniffed it and felt that there were at least three kinds of incense inside, but the smells were mixed together, which was strange and not too pungent.
On the contrary, it makes the figures in the palace appear hazy and hazy, as if they are in a fairyland.
Taoism and Buddhism are not clear.
Taoists and monks were sitting and standing, talking to each other, and discussing in low voices, just like an expert consultation.
Li Yan's appearance attracted everyone's attention, and both sides looked at each other.
Those highlighted on Qiu Ying's list include Master Puguang of Ci'en Temple, Taoist Master Wan Zhen of Haotian Temple, and Master Huili of Hongfu Temple.
To these Chang'an Taoist and Buddhist leaders, Li Yan nodded in greeting one by one, but his eyes suddenly stopped.
Because he saw a young face among this group of experts whose average age was over fifty.
In both Buddhism and Taoism, characters become more popular as they get older. In many people's minds, the image of a master is that of a person with gray hair and a celestial spirit.
You are not even thirty years old, but you can actually be ranked with these people?
He was a tall and thin Taoist priest, wearing a tan Taoist robe, with black hair tied into a bun with a small crown, and his attire was just ordinary.
But the two of them looked at each other, and Li Yan discovered that this person had huge black pupils, very few whites, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
A name that he had truncated appeared in Li Yan's mind: "Ming Chongyan?"
The Taoist bowed his head and bowed.
Li Yan returned the courtesy from a distance.
After the identification was completed, Li Yan looked at Wu Minzhi in the center.
At this time, he was no longer as arrogant and arrogant as that night.
He huddled up on the chariot, shook his head, and muttered: "Grandma, Minzhi misses you so much..."
Li Yan didn't say anything and just used his talent.
let me see!
As soon as he put on the invisible glasses, the crosshairs were aimed at Zhou Guogong Wu Minzhi.
Take off your glasses, follow your words, and the emotional villain emerges from the top of your head.
The eyebrows are drooped, the forehead is wrinkled, the eyelids and lips are tense, and the whole expression shows a deep hatred.
“Emotional feedback—hate!”
"The reasoning begins!"
"Wu Minzhi's hatred for his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Rongguo."
"Correct reasoning!"
…
"Young man, you still want to hide it from me?"
Seeing the mood villain being shot through by bullets, Li Yan smiled coldly and came to Wu Minzhi: "Duke Zhou Guo, why are you like this!"
He rushed over, Wu Minzhi was startled, and the performance was almost interrupted.
Fortunately, Zhu Wu, a slave by his side, shouted: "Li Yuanfang, the inner guard? What are you doing here!"
Li Yan sighed deeply: "When I was in Liangzhou, I heard that the Duke of Zhou was capable and capable. I have always admired him deeply. The Duke invited me to the palace a few days ago. If I hadn't been eager to return home, I would not have delayed it and came to visit him immediately. But Since filial piety comes first, I'd better go back to Duke Wei's mansion first..."
When he said this, he emphasized: "Listen, the Duke is also like this. He is seriously ill, and he still talks about the love of Mrs. Rongguo. He is really kind and filial!"
Zhu Wu opened his mouth and almost choked. Wu Minzhi had no choice but to say quickly: "Grandma, you have become a Buddha... Minzhi misses you so much..."
At this time, the news of Wu Minzhi's illness had alarmed Empress Wu, and the imperial doctors had just arrived.
The imperial doctors were somewhat at a loss as to Wu Minzhi's condition, but what made him full of praise were the words Wu Minzhi kept repeating.
Li Zhi was known for his kindness and filial piety back then. Now that Wu Minzhi is ill, he has not forgotten his filial piety to Mrs. Rongguo, and even praised Mrs. Rongguo's miracle of becoming a Buddha. This is something that can be said to be a good talk.
This is to gild oneself, and it is also Wu Minzhi's smartest point. With this foreshadowing, if someone exposes those things, others will not believe it.
But after listening to Li Yan's words, Wu Minzhi's body trembled slightly, and he felt more and more disgusted, and giggled again: "Hey hey hey... I don't know him... let him out... hey hey hey!"
Li Yan shook his head and said earnestly: "My lord, you must not hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. You don't know all the masters and Taoists in the hall!"
Zhu Wu shouted: "How can you compare with these eminent monks and Taoist priests?"
Li Yandao: "To be honest, although I have not become a monk, I have been cultivating Dan Yuan Jin since I was a child. Perhaps it is God's will that I want to do my best for the recovery of the Duke!"
He opened his sleeves, bulging with energy, and bowed his hands to all the Taoists: "Which Taoist priest is willing to audition with me to give the Duke confidence?"
All the Taoists looked at each other. Taoist Master Wan Zhen of Haotian Temple was about to speak when the tall and thin Taoist stepped forward and said, "I am a poor Taoist, Ming Chongyan, and I am willing to learn from Li Shanxin!"
Li Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said seriously: "Please!"
His alchemy energy was circulating, his sleeves expanded slightly, and he pushed them out gently with a palm.
Ming Chongyan held his hands like Tai Chi, and a seemingly gentle force came out to meet him.
"Snapped!"
The two hands collided, but the sound of the collision was extremely fierce, which was completely different from the slow and gentle appearance.
The monks and Taoists present were all knowledgeable, and their faces suddenly showed expressions of emotion, and they all looked carefully.
Taoism emphasizes the combination of hardness and softness, and the interaction of yin and yang. A seemingly insignificant palm can give birth to a thousand pounds of strength. This is the embodiment of the advanced level of strength.
Li Yan and Ming Chongyan fought against each other without any fuss, and they understood the mystery deeply.
For a moment, the breath flowed in the main hall, with the potential of a surging roar. The two of them came and went, displaying all the subtleties of the power of the alchemy, but not even a little bit of vindictiveness. They looked like immortals. Out of dust.
Even Wu Minzhi, who was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, was stunned. He didn't expect that the general Li Yan had such Taoist attainments.
But in fact, Li Yan was so cool on the outside that he couldn't hold on anymore.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His style is still open and closed, fighting on the battlefield and killing enemies smoothly. It would be too disadvantageous to fight like this.
Just when he was about to give up as soon as he got good, Ming Chongyan seemed to feel something. Suddenly he fluttered his long sleeves and took the initiative to take advantage of the situation: "Li Shanxin's wonderful method, I learned it!"
"This person is not beneath me!"
When Li Yan saw Ming Chongyan sending and receiving with ease, he knew that compared to his all-out efforts on Dan Yuan Jin, the opponent did not use all his strength, and he was a good opponent worthy of using Yuan Sheng Jin.
After silently evaluating in his heart, he did not want to take advantage of the other party and said, "Thank you, Taoist Master, for your courtesy!"
Ming Chongyan was slightly surprised and stared at him deeply.
Li Yan bowed his hands to the monks again, and everyone immediately returned the salute. Now Zhu Wu had nothing to say.
He does have real talent and learning!
As a result, a younger man got mixed up with a group of gray-haired expert directors.
Seeing Li Yan quickly blending in and discussing his condition in low voices with everyone, Wu Minzhi looked on coldly and felt that he understood.
"I thought he was a young and energetic farmer who suddenly gained power, but he turned out to be a working man. Seeing that my father-in-law is sick, would you like to come and treat him?"
"Hmph, even if I want to recover, I will never give you the credit!"
If he is pretending to be ill, then he has the final say on when he will recover?
The list of internal defenders will be released soon. In this sensitive period, everyone wants to take credit.
He must not let Li Yuanfang, who has offended him, enjoy even the slightest bit of credit!
It would be best to gain some reputation by falsely accusing him. How about finding an opportunity to pretend the illness is more serious and blame it on Li Yuanfang?
Just as Wu Minzhi was having vicious thoughts in his heart, the shrill voice of the chamberlain suddenly came from outside:
"The Queen is here!"
Wu Minzhi was shocked and immediately shrank back. Everyone was shocked and immediately went out to greet him.
They saw the imperial chariot specially gifted by Li Zhi arriving in front of the main hall. Empress Wu wore a thin gauze scarf on her face and walked down with strong steps without any support from the maids.
"Meet the Queen!"
Everyone saluted together.
Except for those close to her, Empress Wu is still called the Empress, not the Queen of Heaven.
Of course, since she experienced the turmoil after the abolition of Shangguan Yi and the enshrinement of Zen in Mount Tai, her status as a queen has become stronger than that of previous queens.
Even Dugu Jialuo during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was inferior.
Yang Jian favored Dugu Jialuo alone, which was because he learned the lesson of the foolishness of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the five queens who stood side by side.
In addition, Dugu Jialuo fought hard and gave birth to five sons and five daughters, as well as the help of a powerful family background. Under various conditions, a strong generation of queens was born.
That is almost impossible to replicate.
But now Empress Wu can dominate her only because of her contribution in political affairs. Even when Li Zhi is in poor health, she firmly holds the imperial power in the hands of the Empress.
For such a queen, everyone naturally respects and fears her.
Except for one person.
Li Yan deliberately walked slowly, looking carefully at the only female emperor in history from a blind spot out of Empress Wu's sight.
Through the veil that could not block anything, his wish came true and he saw what Wu Zetian looked like.
Not that I have any thoughts, but Empress Wu is already in her forties this year, four years older than Li Zhi.
The main reason is that there is no accurate record of Wu Zetian's appearance in later generations. As a history student, his old habit of curiosity has returned.
There is a saying that the face of the Lushe Buddha in Longmen Grottoes was carved according to the appearance of Wu Zetian, but the Buddha has long been seriously distorted, and the evidence is insufficient.
As for the statement in "New Book of Tang Dynasty" that "Princess Taiping Fang'e Guangyi had many conspiracies, Wu Zetian said she was like me" is very doubtful.
What Li Yan saw at this time was not a big and majestic face, but it was not small and exquisite either. Overall, his appearance was still rather charming.
Even if you are very old, you can still see the beauty of your youth due to proper maintenance.
Mei Niang Mei Niang, there are various opinions about this name, but at this time he can imagine that Empress Wu's young appearance is indeed worthy of that title.
Many years of participation in the government gave Empress Wu a graceful and dignified temperament.
At this moment, with a sharp glance, even Ming Chongyan was so frightened that he lowered his head, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.
Li Yan won't show up at this time, but after he walked out, he stood with a group of monks and Taoist priests, which was too eye-catching.
Empress Wu looked at him immediately: "Li Yuanfang?"
Li Yan took a few steps forward: "I'm here."
Empress Wu asked curiously: "Why are you in Min's Mansion?"
Li Yan said: "The Duke of Zhou once invited me to come to the palace, but the trip was not possible. It is a pity. Today I heard that the Duke is ill, and I have made some achievements in the Taoist Dan Yuan Jin. I came here to see if I can help."
Empress Wu looked at the group and asked, "Is that so?"
Taoist Master Wan Zhen of Haotian Temple replied: "As Li Shanxin said, he has superb skills and can cure the disease and relieve the worries of the Duke!"
"Um……"
Empress Wu was noncommittal and turned to Wu Minzhi who was being pushed out. He was still talking about his grandmother and frowned slightly.
"What's the air about, let me see!!"
Li Yan seized this fleeting opportunity and aimed at Empress Wu, aiming for success.
The empress who silenced everyone suddenly had an emotional villain above her head.
The upper lip is raised, wrinkles appear on the bridge of the nose, the eyebrows are pressed down, and the eyes are narrowed.
The lifelike face of the villain showed an expression that made him hate someone very much at first glance.
“Emotional feedback—disgust!”
"The reasoning begins!"
"Disgust for Wu Minzhi!"
"Correct reasoning!"
…
"Hey, others are a family that loves each other, but you are a family that hates each other. It's really disgusting that your mother opened the door to disgust. It's so disgusting!"
