Not only Wu Zetian noticed Bai Gui, but some of the court officials also looked at Bai Gui with twinkling eyes, as if they had some hidden thoughts in their hearts.
In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism flourished and Taoism declined.
The great prosperity of Buddhism means the prosperity of the Wu family, while the decline of Taoism means the decline of power in Li Tang...
It is not only a dispute between the two orthodox traditions, but also the issue of who should be the emperor between the Wu family and the Li family.
Bai Gui is a true Taoist immortal and the teacher of the late Emperor Li Tai...,
Perhaps many descendants of the Li family and officials in the imperial court have forgotten this fact, but they, the veterans who experienced the Zhenguan Dynasty, remember it clearly. They even had some minor friendship with Bai Gui, who served as a minister in the Zhenguan Dynasty...
.
Now that Bai Gui and Guanyin Bodhisattva are side by side, one Buddha per line, doesn't it mean that the Tang Dynasty has a chance to revive?
After all, people’s hearts still turn to Li!
"Wu Jue?"
Bai Gui, who was standing on the lotus platform of the Buddha statue, lowered his head and said in a slightly surprised tone, "I didn't expect you to become the emperor now? Instead of Li Tang?"
Although he spoke calmly, when these words fell into the ears of everyone in the world, they caused thousands of waves.
What does it mean to replace Li Tang?
Even though the dynasty has changed, the Taoist immortal in front of him is a close friend of Emperor Taizong, and he is also Li Tai's teacher. He watched Li Tai grow up...
Wu Xu, or Wu Zetian replaced Li Tang, how could this Taoist immortal not be angry?
The common man became angry and blood spattered five steps forward.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
When the immortal is angry, he is born with murderous intent, and dragons and snakes rise from the ground...
The descendants of Li Tang, who were four or five steps behind Wu Zetian, were all secretly happy. With this immortal as their support, they would not be able to recover the Tang Dynasty, and their lives and wealth would at least be guaranteed, and they would not be afraid.
Empress Wu Zetian, the imperial grandmother gave them a glass of dove wine to kill them.
One family is happy and the other is sad.
At the same time, the officials who were loyal to Wu Zetian were shaking like chaff, fearing that the immortal's anger would affect them...
Just one word from Bai Gui instantly divided the Wu Zhou court into two parties.
"I...I am the Tang Dynasty...the reason...the reason..."
Wu Xu opened his mouth to explain, but the words were stuck in his throat, and he stammered for a long time and could not come out.
No matter how eloquent she is, it's hard to deceive the immortal in front of her. Talking too much is a recipe for death.
Therefore, to open one's mouth is to remain silent.
"I?"
Bai Gui curled his lips and said jokingly: "Except for the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Humanity, there are few people in the world who dare to call me in front of poor Taoists... You are just a woman who has stolen power, how dare you do that?
Do you call yourself me in front of a poor Taoist?"
His face was filled with anger, and he suppressed his restrained momentum towards Wu Xu.
The emperor is not the same as the human emperor.
Wu Xu was only the emperor of Wu Zhou, not the human emperor of the human race in the world.
Of course, this is just a rhetoric he used to find fault.
The late emperor Li Tai was not necessarily the Human Emperor. Li Shimin was the Heavenly Khan, barely worthy of being on the same level as the Human Emperor...
The reason why he said that was because he was on Li Tang's side.
Not to mention the friendship between the Li Tang royal family and him, the fact that Li Tang claimed to be a descendant of the Supreme Emperor and respected Taoism was worthy of his support. No matter how well Wu Zetian did for the people or what his political achievements were.
Yes, to be a human being, an official, or an immortal, you must first know where your butt is, and then act...
No ordinary person can bear the slightest pressure from the immortals. However, Wu Xu is a disciple of Buddhism, so he can still bear this pressure, but only reluctantly. In less than a while, he is prostrate in front of the temple, kowtow and beg for mercy.
She didn't even have the dignity of the queen in front of her ministers and people.
This is not because she is not good at martial arts and is too weak, but because she has been weak in front of Bai Gui a long time ago. At that time, she did not even have any dignity. Now, although she is wearing a dragon robe, she has achieved this small achievement in the mortal world.
, nothing counts in front of the immortal...
She dare not be proud.
The emperor is just a herdsman on behalf of heaven. It is understandable that he would be soft in the face of the immortals.
"Fellow Taoist Qianyuan, a little punishment will suffice."
"Don't be angry..."
Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Wu Xu begging for mercy. Considering that Wu Xu now represented the face of Buddhism, she smiled at the corner of her mouth, flicked the willow branch, and cast a magic power, which relieved Bai Gui's pressure on Wu Xu.
She thought for a while and then said: "Wu Xu has lost his virtue and offended the immortals. The poor monk will punish you to stay in seclusion in Ziwei City for one month to worship the Buddha. After one month, pray to heaven again and ask for forgiveness..."
Buddhism has taken advantage of the great rise of Buddhism to complete the expansion of its power. Although it defeated Buddhism and failed, the general trend has not changed. Wu Zetian's chess piece has also reached the point of being abolished.
Today, she asked Bai Gui to come to Chang'an City with her. First, she asked Bai Gui to leave Xiniu Hezhou so as not to affect their Buddhist plan. Second, she asked Bai Gui to meet Wu Xu and change the situation in the mortal world again...
Of course, although the second article seems to be taking advantage of Bai Gui, it is not a favor to Bai Gui.
After all, Li Tang's revival would also be of some benefit to Bai Gui.
"Buddha understands."
Wu Xu, who was kneeling in front of the hall, trembled slightly when he heard this and replied.
At this moment, she was being admonished by Bai Gui, and her dignity in the court was completely lost. Forget about a month, even if she just stayed in seclusion to worship Buddha for a day, her power might be emptied by others.
In a month, by the time she finishes her retreat, she will probably become the Supreme Emperor long ago.
But she didn't have the guts to refute Guanyin Bodhisattva.
I can only endure this sigh silently.
After saying this, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Bai Gui disappeared.
…
Above Chang'an City.
"Brother Qianyuan, in a few months, it will be the day when Li Tang will rise again..."
"This is a way to refine the luck of the dynasty. I hope Taoist Brother Qianyuan will accept it."
Guanyin Bodhisattva handed Bai Gui a jade slip and said with a smile.
This time she took advantage of Bai Gui and caused another change in the situation in the world.
Although this matter has some benefits for Bai Gui, it will inevitably make Bai Gui feel grudge after this incident.
You must know that Bai Gui is not like Sun Wukong. It is not easy to be deceived. There are many gaps in his heart. I am afraid that the moment she and Yu Wu Xu appeared in front of him, he would have made some guesses about today's events.
Therefore, giving Bai Gui the method of refining the luck of the dynasty is intended to resolve the bad blood between the two of them today.
"I thanked the Bodhisattva."
Bai Gui nodded and put the jade slip into his sleeve.
He shook his head and said: "Even if Li Tang rises again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to regain its former glory."
Guanyin Bodhisattva did not answer, but after reciting "Amitabha", he sat down on the lotus platform and turned into a white light that disappeared between heaven and earth.
Ziwei City is Luo City.
Wu Zetian was scolded by Guanyin Bodhisattva and asked to stay in seclusion for a month. She did not dare to delay and rushed to Ziwei City overnight, taking most of Wu Zhou's ministers with her.
As soon as Wu Zhou's forces left, Chang'an instantly had a lot of space.
Unlike Luocheng, the people of Chang'an were more loyal to the Li and Tang royal families. Many people were descendants of soldiers from the Zhechong Mansion of Taizong Dynasty, and many nobles also started their careers in Taizong Dynasty and Gaozong Dynasty...
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was a government military system. Zhechong Prefecture commanded the government troops, and Zhechong Prefecture in Guanzhong alone accounted for one-third of the world. It can be said that in the early Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong dominated the world. Therefore, after Wu Xu became emperor, he did not like it.
I have lived in Chang'an for a long time and am used to living in Luoyang...
As soon as Wu Zetian left, Li Xinglong, the king of Linzi, immediately formed a secret alliance with his followers, hoping to overthrow Wu Zhou and re-establish Li Tang.
…
Chang'an, Baifu.
In a secret room.
After Bai Gui heard the name of Linzi King Li Xinglong, he shook his head, "Li Xinglong? It seems that he is Li Longji from Journey to the West."
Speaking of Li Longji, he still has some friendship with him.
But Li Xinglong has nothing to do with him at all.
