"Imagining the government affairs and criticizing the prince! This Chen Qianyuan is really courageous!" Emperor Jing Xing said angrily.
Seeing this, Jia Pingsheng sighed and said: "This veteran should not have interfered in this dispute between the crown prince and the prince."
"It's just that this matter is of great importance. If Chen Qianyuan is allowed to continue making trouble like this, it will probably trigger a civil uprising!"
Emperor Jing Xing nodded when he heard this: "Master Jia's words make sense."
"I have my own plan for this matter, and Master Lao Jia informed me of it."
Jia Pingsheng nodded, knowing that the emperor had issued an order to expel guests.
Then Chen Qianyuan is just a small Taoist priest within the Tianyi Sect. How could he dare to be so blatant without instructions?
But if there is the shadow of Prince Jing behind this matter, it will involve a dispute between the crown prince and the prince. He does not want to get involved, let alone should not get involved.
Emperor Jing Xing allowed him to go, but he fulfilled his wish and saved him.
After Jia Pingsheng left, Emperor Jingxing suppressed his anger, threw the papers recording Chen Qianyuan's actions over the past few days on the case, and said: "Zheng Ying, take these to the East Palace and show the traitor Haosheng." !”
"Tell him, if within half a month, the continuous criticisms in this capital city don't stop, I will deal with it in my own way!"
When Zheng Ying heard this, her heart trembled. She hurriedly picked up all the papers scattered on the document and said politely: "No!"
Then he exited Nuan Pavilion.
…
The next morning.
East Palace.
Li Changkong yawned and walked in, complaining: "I've never been on duty so early in the past, what's the big deal today?"
Hearing this, Zhang Han pointed to the paper on the case and said, "Let's take a look. Eunuch Zheng sent it overnight, saying that His Highness can't handle it, so His Majesty will handle it personally."
This is a bit harsh to say.
Li Changkong's face became solemn, he picked up the paper on the document and quickly read it.
After a while, his face became more solemn, and he looked at the prince Liu Yu, only to find that what he saw was a bitter melon face.
"Your Highness has suffered a terrible disaster!"
"Your Majesty must know who is standing behind Chen Qianyuan and who is under his orders."
"It's just that Chen Qianyuan spread such remarks, and the impact is really too bad."
"That's why I'm angry, but I also know that this matter probably has nothing to do with His Highness, so I let His Highness handle it first."
"This matter, in my opinion, is not entirely a bad thing."
"If it is handled well, it will actually demonstrate His Highness' ability."
"Besides, the one who used such methods may have harmed His Majesty."
"In this way, as long as His Highness can handle this matter properly, it will be clear in His Majesty's mind which one is better and which one is worse!"
After Li Changkong finished speaking like this, Prince Liu Yu's eyes immediately brightened and he said: "Old Li is Lao Li, just like what the emperor said!"
Obviously, after receiving these papers last night, Liu Yu first went to Empress Lu and Princess Huaiqing to discuss it.
Hearing this, Li Changkong smiled and said: "Princess Huaiqing has both political integrity and talent, and is brilliant in literary talent without sacrificing strategy. My wife has always mentioned her, calling her the most extraordinary woman in the world throughout the ages."
"Sister Zhaoyang, why didn't she go back to the palace to visit her after marrying to your Marquis Wuling Mansion? I really miss her mother."
"Lao Li, take Miss Zhaoyang with you next time so that she can talk to the Queen Mother."
Li Changkong nodded when he heard this: "Zhaoyang is really bored after staying at home all day. It would be nice to go out for a walk. I will bring her here next time."
"No, we are in a big crisis now. You two in-laws are just talking about family affairs across the distance?"
Zhu Ben couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and said this.
"Ahem, what Lao Zhu is saying is, Lao Li, what you want is the same as the emperor's sister, but how to deal with this matter, the emperor's sister has not come up with a reason."
"What can you do?"
"What's the solution..." Li Changkong paused for a moment, lowered his head in thought, and started pacing.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked left and right at Liu Yu's face.
"I asked you what method you can use. What do you think I am doing? Is it possible that this method has been applied to me?" Liu Yu said angrily.
Who would have thought that Li Changkong actually nodded and said, "That's true!"
"Everyone, please take a look at His Highness the Crown Prince. His appearance is full of heaven, round and square, and extremely expensive. Does he look like the Emperor Zhenwu enshrined in the temple?"
"Bah! What the hell are you thinking, Lao Li? Emperor Zhenwu is a god in the sky, and it is said that he is fierce and evil-looking. Everyone in this palace loves him, so how can he be like that person?"
"It doesn't look like it? That won't work! It has to look like it even though it doesn't look like it!"
At this point, Liu Yu and Zhu Ben were still confused, but Zhang Han became enlightened and said: "You mean, let His Highness the Crown Prince pretend to be the Zhenwu Emperor?"
Li Changkong nodded when he heard this and sighed: "Look at you, then look at Lao Zhang, no wonder he got the second place in the exam!"
Zhu Ben heard this and immediately hesitated: "I... and Lao Zhang have different development directions."
Liu Yu turned his head away, not wanting to admit that he had no brains.
Besides, if I had a brain, what else would I need from you?
"The method is a good one, but how it works is very complicated! Lao Li, do you have a plan?"
Zhang Han didn't say it explicitly, but everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
It's just because His Highness the Prince has such a reputation now, if you say he is the Zhenwu Emperor, he is the Zhenwu Emperor?
The people are just ignorant, but they are not brainless!
Hearing this, Li Changkong said: "The things picked out by Taoists must naturally be settled using Taoist methods!"
"It is said that this day a religion is passed down to the world with its sutras and meanings? Everyone in the world admires the mysterious meanings of its sutras, so they flock to it, and it has reached such a scale today?"
"Not bad." Zhang Han nodded.
"Then, I wonder which Taoist classic their missionary scripture is?"
"It is said to be called the Heavenly Doctrine." Zhu Ben replied, he has always been very clear about these various things.
"Yeah." Li Changkong nodded again, then a smile appeared on his lips and said: "Then... I wonder if they have heard of... the Tao Te Ching!"
"Tao Te Ching? The name sounds mysterious, but I've never heard of it." Zhu Ben shook his head.
"You have never heard of it, and those Taoist priests certainly have never heard of it."
Li Changkong immediately made the decision and said: "Then use this Tao Te Ching to rub off the prestige of his Heavenly Dao Jing!"
Hearing this, Liu Yu was a little worried: "Old Li, is your Tao Te Ching good or not? You didn't write it yourself, right?"
"Don't worry, it will definitely work!"
Just kidding, why don't you look up who the author of the Tao Te Ching is.
The incompetent saint, Li Er!
If you change his name, you can still call him Lao Tzu! One of the pre-Qin scholars, he is also a mythical figure and the creative prototype of Taishang Laojun, one of the Three Qing Dynasties!
The Tao Te Ching is the main source of Taoist thought. In the previous life, there were countless commentaries on the Tao Te Ching. Let alone those who practice Taoism, even ordinary people like them, who doesn't know the name of the Tao Te Ching?
I'm afraid it's not too simple to use this to suppress the heavenly sutra.
