After returning to Chongyang Palace, I realized that the atmosphere was not right.
After leaving the seclusion room, he invited the Taoist in charge to ask about the truth.
"Statistics Master, the atmosphere in Chang'an City has been wrong recently, which has affected the arrival of Zhongnan Mountain!"
When he saw Li Ke, the Taoist in charge seemed to have found the backbone and smiled bitterly: "I heard that the atmosphere is a bit tense in Chang'an by Empress Wu in the atmosphere!"
Empress Wu...
He nodded slightly to show that he understood, and Li Ke naturally knew what was going on.
With Wu Zetian taking power, a new round of washing-ups in the court and the local government began, and the atmosphere was naturally not much better.
Wu Zetian's methods were quite ruthless. As a woman who wanted to gain the power of the Tang Dynasty, all she could do was to suppress her dissatisfaction with her iron-blooded wrists.
But, is there something wrong with the body of Emperor Tang Li Zhi?
Li Ke felt a little strange...
As the royal Taoist temple of the Li family's royal family, Chongyang Palace is not just a name. Every once in a while, a batch of pills that strengthen muscles and bones, replenish blood and nourish qi. The past is a reward for Chongyang Palace.
These pills were all made according to the prescription given by Li Ke.
After so many years of experience, although these elixirs are just ordinary medicines, they are the best among ordinary medicines, and have extremely obvious benefits for ordinary people's body.
Since the time of Li Shimin, members of the royal family have started to use these precious pills, otherwise Li Shimin would not be able to maintain a very good state before his life ends.
Emperor Li Zhi of Tang was not as good as Li Shimin, but as long as he had enjoyed the elixir given by the Chongyang Palace, he would definitely not be much worse.
Not to mention being as strong as a cow, at least it wouldn’t be a ill person and even the government could not handle it.
Tsk...
Needless to say, there must be a problem here.
Li Ke ignored the idea. This was Li Zhi's own business.
I've been out for a few years, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, I heard such news.
The Taoist in charge said another thing, that is, Li Shimin's son took his men and went to the foreign territory to establish a new foundation.
I don’t know if it was because I was afraid of Li Shimin who was in charge of the Netherworld Tang Dynasty. In short, Li Zhi did not stop him and even provided some convenience and support.
According to the Taoist in charge, the Empress Wu was very unhappy about this matter and even got angry in the court.
Then, the children of the Wu family were promoted and reused.
Li Ke was not interested in how Wu Zetian was trying.
What he was curious about was whether the other brothers had the idea and action to go out to work hard?
Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that the other brothers were relatively mediocre and were even reluctant to part with the world of the Tang Dynasty. They did not have the intention and courage to fight for the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. They even ridiculed the brothers who were away from home for having problems with their brains.
The real brain problems are themselves.
When Wu Zetian completely took power, there was a time when they could eat good fruits.
After learning about the major events that have happened in recent years, Li Ke recruited all the Taoists from Chongyang Palace and encouraged them to practice martial arts seriously, not to be disturbed and distracted by external affairs, nor to randomly participate in the broken affairs in Chang'an City.
He said directly that in Chongyang Palace, people can fully guarantee their safety and do not have to worry about any accidents.
But if they do something wrong outside, Chongyang Palace will not care about their life or death and let them take care of themselves.
As for how much these Taoists could listen to, Li Ke didn't care very much.
Anyway, he has fulfilled his responsibilities, so let it go as far as the rest.
Speaking of which, after returning to the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, he did not notice the aura of the demonic path. Obviously, the Demon Ancestor who was ravaging Lingshan and the Heavenly Court and his subordinates had not yet reached his hand to the Central Land Realm.
This is definitely a great thing for the creatures in the Middle Earth.
Of course, he also noticed something inappropriate.
That is, when the power of the soul swept across the Buddhist temple, there was something wrong with the Buddha Bodhisattva and the Arhat Vajra worshipped by pilgrims.
Needless to say, it must be because of the fall of Lingshan Mountain that the throne of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhats and Vajra were all occupied by demonic monks under the command of the Demon Ancestor Wutian.
As the saying goes, one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon, Buddha and demon are one.
The power of incense belief that is of great benefit to Buddhist monks is naturally of great benefit to the demon monks.
It is obvious that the demonic monks who occupied Lingshan directly plundered the power of incense belief that originally belonged to Buddhist monks by robbing the throne of Buddhism.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Li Ke had no intention of intervening.
As for the same sentence, this is a matter within Lingshan and Buddhism, and it has little to do with him. As long as it does not affect his life, I really don’t want to pay attention to these things.
I just don’t know whether the Buddhist monks in the Middle Land know about the situation in Lingshan at this time?
Li Ke "out of the Pass" naturally talked about the Tao with all the Taos in Zhongnan Mountains, and promoted the Taoist theory of the Chongyang Palace.
At this time, with Li Ke's cultivation and his understanding of Taoist scriptures, and his understanding of Taoist scriptures and the Zhongnan Mountains, he almost became his one-sided preaching. The group of Taoist scriptures only
Listen to the part.
Fortunately, these Taoist and Quanzhen are really good at cultivating, and they do not have any envy or jealousy. Of course, it may also be Li Ke's ability to show off, and the strong strength of the Chongyang Palace made them afraid to act rashly.
But no matter what, after Li Ke's long-term management, coupled with his realm and understanding of Taoist classics at this time, the Chongyang Palace gradually became more and more famous and had become a very important lineage of the Northern Taoist Sect.
There was such a big noise in Zhongnan Mountain, and it was impossible for the wind to be heard in Chang'an City.
Soon, Chongyang Palace welcomed the visit of Emperor Tang Li Zhi again.
"I said Lao Jiu, your physical condition is too bad, right?"
When he saw Li Zhi, Li Ke was surprised by the difference in his condition.
Although his face was just pale and his body looked fine, Li Ke could see clearly that this guy's body had been completely hollowed out.
Although he could still come to Zhongnan Mountain to visit secretly, in Li Ke's eyes, this guy's physical condition was almost at the point where the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry.
"There's no way, I don't know what's going on in my body. I'm not as helpless as I'm not as hard as I can!"
Li Zhi found a cushion and sat down, took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "Now, I feel very difficult to come to Chongyang Palace!"
hehe……
You are completely emptied by wine and sex.
Li Ke did not answer the conversation and directly changed the topic: "Did you take the elixir sent from Chongyang Palace?"
"How could it be that it was not taken, but the effect was worse than it once!"
Li Zhi said depressedly: "I don't know why my father's body was so strong back then. Even on the day of his death, he always looked rosy and tough!"
"Then you just think about it!"
Li Ke said calmly: "The father's health was able to maintain so well back then, because he took the elixirs of Chongyang Palace for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's face changed slightly, but it soon returned to normal.
Obviously, this guy heard the profound meaning of Li Ke's words. Just looking at his slightly trembling hands, you can tell how intense the emotions in his heart were at this time.
"Lao Jiu, why don't you stay in Chongyang Palace for a few more days, so it's unlikely that you will completely recover, but it's still not a problem to recover a little bit of energy!"
Li Ke was able to help, but he felt the strong national fortune of Li Zhi's body. He knew that using magic methods was not feasible, so he could only rely on pills to slowly recuperate.
Of course, if he wanted to, he could improve quickly by shaking his blood. However, Li Ke was not happy with the two of them.
Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, and finally considered his physical condition, he had to nod and respond.
He really wanted to do it well, otherwise he would probably go to see his father Li Shimin soon. If possible, of course he would not be willing to go to the Netherworld Tang Dynasty to continue being his son, and it would be more comfortable to be the emperor by himself.
Soon, the guards sent by Li Zhi spread the news to the Chang'an Palace.
When Empress Wu received the news, her expression on her face did not change at all. She just asked about the look and physical condition of Emperor Tang Li Zhi. When the guard left, her face changed immediately.
He attracted a confidant eunuch and asked directly: "What's going on in Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain?"
The eunuch was an old man in the palace. He pondered for a moment and immediately replied: "The Chongyang Palace is the royal Taoist temple established by the late emperor!"
"Why haven't you heard much before?"
Empress Wu was a little suspicious and puzzled, "I haven't heard of it. Anyone from the royal family went to burn incense?"
"I don't know that every year the palace will send several batches of supplies to the Chongyang Palace, which has been going on for many years, and it has started since the time of the late emperor!"
The eunuch said, "The master of Chongyang Palace, I heard that he is the third prince of the late emperor!"
"The third prince of the late emperor?"
Queen Wu's eyes froze and she said in a deep voice: "Why have you never heard of it before?"
"It's normal for the Empress to not know!"
The old eunuch said: "The third prince of the late emperor entered the Taoist sect very early, as if he was only a teenager at that time!"
"Oh, it seems that that person is not interested in power and wealth!"
Empress Wu smiled faintly and said, "Otherwise, why would you enter the Taoist sect?"
Prince Li Tang was able to get real positions, which made her feel a little relieved.
"Who said no!"
The old eunuch obviously started talking about his sexuality and revealed a shocking news: "The late emperor was very optimistic about that person at the time, and even thought of establishing that person as the prince!"
"Oh, I don't want the master of Chongyang Palace, but I am still a royal hero!"
Empress Wu's eyes turned cold and she said curiously: "In this way, the relationship between the emperor and that person should be very bad. How could she stay in Chongyang Palace?"
The old eunuch shook his head and said, "I don't know this. It is said that Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Chongyang Palace and does not know if it is true. However, the supplies sent by Your Majesty to the Chongyang Palace were much more than those of the late emperor, but it was true.
