Chapter nine hundred and ninety first strange things
After Chen Ping left, the main hall of Qiming Palace returned to calm again.
Lin Ze was no longer in the mood to study the changes in luck, and tapped his fingers on the table, not knowing what he was thinking about.
After a long time, a gust of air blew past, and a breath that Lin Ze felt was familiar came outside the hall, and a respectful voice sounded: "I have something to ask you, your Majesty, Wu Fan."
Lin Ze woke up from his meditation and said calmly: "Come in."
Wu Fan lowered his head and walked into the main hall, bowed and said: "Meet your Majesty."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Wu Fan lowered his head slightly and said: "Replying to Your Majesty, the Marquis of Sishui sent someone to convey a message that our army has occupied the entire territory of South Vietnam, beheaded tens of thousands and captured hundreds of thousands. The only drawback is that Zhao Tuo was not captured."
"In order to capture Zhao Tuo, the Marquis of Sishui led his troops to defeat Nanzhao's seventy-two strongholds. The Nanzhao royal court sent people to beg for surrender, and was willing to accept whatever the Western Qin did, just to preserve the ethnic group. Even so, Zhao Tuo could not be found.
trace."
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said, "Is there no news at all? Has Buddhism sent someone to investigate?"
Wu Fan bowed and responded: "Buddhist Xuantang Buddha learned the news, took the initiative to contact the Marquis of Sishui, and arranged for people to conduct a thorough investigation of all Buddhist temples, but no trace of Zhao Tuo was found."
Lin Ze already had some speculations in his mind. Just like Liu Ji disappeared out of thin air, Zhao Tuo's disappearance must have something to do with Buddha.
Regardless of Liu Ji or Zhao Tuo, according to Lin Ze's memories of his previous life, they were both emperors.
In other words, they all have a chance to seize the destiny.
The destiny is related to the opportunity for saints to transcend, and Confucian saints and Buddhas would never give up easily.
The day Liu Ji and Zhao Tuo appeared was the time when Confucian saints and Buddhas made a comeback.
By then, there may once again be chaos and chaos.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze ordered: "Deploy special personnel to investigate this matter, and we must dig him out even if we dig three feet into the ground."
Wu Fan responded loudly: "No."
Lin Ze glanced at Wu Fan, who had not moved, and couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything else?"
Wu Fan showed a flattering smile and said: "The Marquis of Sishui would like to ask, someone will escort the Nanzhao Royal Court envoy to Chang'an in the near future. Will Your Majesty be free to meet him?"
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "If I have nothing to do, it wouldn't hurt to meet him."
Wu Fan hurriedly answered: "I heard that the Nanzhao Imperial Court delegation is led by a peerless beauty. Your Majesty, it would be nice to meet her."
Lin Ze's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wu Fan looked horrified when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said, "Wei Chen made a mistake and deserves to die. Please forgive me."
Lin Ze snorted coldly and said: "For the sake of your hard work and merit, forget it this time and go to work. Remember, if things are not done well, I will naturally skin you."
Wu Fan felt relieved and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will definitely go through fire and water to repay you with my own life."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's get down."
However, Wu Fan did not move at all, his expression was complicated, and he hesitated to speak.
Lin Ze wondered: "Is there anything else?"
Wu Fan was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "To be honest with Your Majesty, I still have something to report."
Lin Ze's patience gradually disappeared, and he couldn't help but scolded: "Just say something if you have something to do, so coyly, I thought the person standing in front of me was a girl who has not yet left the government."
Wu Fan glanced at the main hall to make sure there was no third person. Fang whispered: "I found Mr. Hu Hai this time. He is clamoring to see your Majesty."
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said: "I thought it was a big deal. If you find it, you will find it. He wants to see me, can't you just arrange for someone to bring him to Chang'an?"
Wu Fan secretly glanced at Lin Ze's face. He was not sure what Lin Ze's real thoughts were. He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "But do you need me to secretly send Master Hu Hai for a ride?"
Lin Ze had a strange look on his face: "Although Hu Hai is a bit of a bastard, he is not worthy of death. Why do you think so?"
Wu Fan replied: "Because he is a threat to His Majesty. He even colluded with the rebels some time ago and tried to harm the Western Qin Dynasty. He will die ten times regardless of crime."
"If he is allowed to continue to live, what should we do if the old officials of the Qin Dynasty will never forget him and plot to restore the Qin State?"
Lin Ze chuckled and said: "What kind of threat is Hu Hai? He can't even compare to my fingers. As for the threat you mentioned, it's big or small."
"In this case, you can bring him to see me later and spread the rumors again. I took care of my face and spared his life, but I warned him that once someone comes to him privately and plots evil, no matter who it is, he will confiscate his home and exterminate his family. Together with that, he will not be forgiven.
Hu Hai will also be given a glass of poisonous wine and die an untimely death."
"As a result, people who are loyal to the Qin State have no choice but to be wary and dare not act rashly. People who are not loyal to the Qin State also dare not come into contact with them to avoid getting into trouble."
"In general, it seems that saving his life is enough."
Wu Fan was a little puzzled and asked: "Why did Your Majesty leave him a way to live even though he did not hesitate to defile himself?"
Lin Ze didn't take it seriously and said, "When you reach my level, you will probably make the same decision."
"Let me ask you, there is an ant at the door of your house. I have known you for decades. One day, the ant accidentally offended you and may have eaten the doors and windows of your house. Do you have to crush it to death?"
Wu Fan seemed to understand but asked: "So that's it."
Lin Ze said calmly: "Besides, there are no benefits to Hu Hai's life. At least those who have changed their minds and joined Western Qin can sleep peacefully without worrying about being liquidated."
"After all, I can even tolerate Hu Hai, who else can't tolerate him?"
Wu Fan couldn't help but praise: "Your Majesty is wise. I wonder when will your Majesty be free to see him?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "Take him back to Chang'an first. I will summon him later when I have time. Remember, have a better attitude and don't make others think you are ungrateful."
Wu Fan bowed and said: "Wei Chen knows, Wei Chen will leave."
When Wu Fan was about to leave, suddenly a ray of Buddha's light flashed in from outside the temple.
Lin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly shot out and grabbed the Buddha's light.
In an instant, the Buddha's light dispersed, and a letter lay quietly in Lin Ze's hand.
Lin Ze opened the letter and saw that it read: "Since the feast held by the sage Zhuang Zhou, Avalokitesvara has been missing for seven days, and it is suspected that the Buddha has appeared."
Lin Ze pressed his fingers slightly and held the letter in his hand, his face looking a little ugly.
He finally teamed up with Emperor Qin to plot against the Three Saints, hoping to gain a chance to develop and take a breather, but not long after that, the Buddha actually appeared.
Based on this inference, wouldn’t it be possible for the Buddha, Confucian sage and Confucian saint to appear publicly in a while?
Thinking of this, Lin Ze loosened the letter, folded it, and walked to the back hall where Zhuang Zhou was.
Only a saint can deal with a saint.
If Buddha really appeared, Zhuang Zhou would have to take action.
