at this time.
Li Shimin was happy in his heart, and at the same time he also focused his attention on Hou Junji, who was on the invitation list but had not resigned.
He glanced at Hou Junji, who was still standing proudly in the queue with a calm and unmoved expression.
Li Shimin's originally happy mood suddenly became a little depressed.
but.
He did not have an attack because he used a gentle policy. If someone was stubborn, there was nothing he could do.
We can only deal with it slowly in the future.
Next, Li Shimin directly played the trick of making three concessions and three concessions with Li Jing and others. No matter what he said, Li Jing and others were not allowed to resign, but Li Jing and others had to resign no matter what they said.
After one pass of acting, Li Shimin felt that it was not enough and wanted them to go back and think it over carefully.
But after they left, Li Shimin arranged for people to send a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to their family.
When things were delivered to the house, Li Shimin's doting on his courtiers was clearly demonstrated.
However, the more he gave away things, the more fearful he made Li Jing and others feel.
On that day, Li Shimin issued an imperial edict to let them take up certain positions.
Li Jing and others immediately declined.
The next day.
Another drama of three concessions and three concessions was staged in the court, and after thinking about it day and night, these civil and military ministers seemed to have realized something was wrong.
The people who resigned this time were all Li Jing's people, and they had already planned it. This was probably forced by Li Shimin, or Li Shimin had the leverage over them.
No matter what it is, let the ministers understand one truth - accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.
The farce lasted for three days and three nights. Li Shimin made many concessions in court, but privately kept sending gold, silver and jewelry to Li Jing and others, and promised various high-ranking officials generous salaries.
They also issued imperial edicts to allow them to take up certain positions, but they were all rejected.
finally.
Li Jing and others took the lead in going on a hunger strike and threatened to die, so Li Shimin had no choice but to accept their resignation "with pain".
However, Li Shimin also had conditions, and he had to let them accept high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
They only lost military power, but they would all serve in the three provinces and six ministries. For example, Li Jing not only held the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but also served as Dr. Zuo Guanglu.
That is a position equivalent to that of a third official, a very high position among civil servants.
It has to be said that it is very interesting for a military general to become a civil servant.
The matter has come to an end here, but the family members have already sensed the danger.
Several aristocratic families, including the Li family in Yongzhou and the Zhang family in Huainan, have all begun to decline amid this turmoil.
Because their leaders have lost their military power and only hold nominal positions.
It seems that he has been promoted, but in fact his power is getting smaller and smaller.
These days, the weak are the strongest, and no one will give you face if you have no power or soldiers.
Therefore, gradually some people from aristocratic families came forward and began to confront the imperial power.
First, it was once again rumored that Li Shimin killed his brother and trapped his father to seize the throne. Secondly, Li Shimin's prince Li Chengqian was fond of men, and then there was the incident of Princess Gaoyang having an affair with his wife Yiai.
In short, it’s up to you to smear it.
There are also some aristocratic families who directly provide supplies to Goguryeo and Tuyuhun and other places. For example, a lot of the fairy rice that was planted in large quantities this time was sent out.
Li Shimin once said that not all places are suitable for planting these fairy rice, and if planted for two or three years, it will cause great damage to the land.
Therefore, the land planted in the previous one or two years must be replaced with other crops. In addition to the farmers' own use, the rest of the harvest in the previous two years must be purchased and stored in the warehouse.
As a result, many of them were taken away by aristocratic families, hidden by themselves, or sponsored by enemies.
Fortunately, the output is too much, the people still have enough to eat, and the national treasury is still sufficient.
only.
There are also foreign enemies.
When Li Shimin heard the news, he was furious and asked Cheng Yaojin to go on a killing spree. Suddenly, heads were rolling in Chang'an City.
However, there are still many people who take desperate risks.
Some people started to attack from the religious aspect, for example, they criticized Li Shimin for conniving at Taoist temples and overly pampering Taoists, especially the Celestial Master of Yun Mou Mountain.
As the news spread, it became more and more intense, and there were even rumors that the Celestial Master of Yunyuan Mountain was actually Li Shimin's illegitimate son.
Yunyuan Mountain, Hualong Temple.
After Su Chen received a pilgrim, while taking a sip of water, he heard Yuan Tiangang, who had come back specially to report major world events, narrate the matter.
"Master, the rumors among the people are really abominable. Use your magical power to find them out. Your disciple will lead people to kill them."
Su Chen couldn't figure it out, he just thought these rumors were too outrageous and didn't want to pay attention to them.
On the contrary, I am more concerned about whether there is any news about Yuan Tiangang's uncle Yuan Shoucheng.
"My uncle has gone off to seek immortality, but there is no news."
"That's all, then I'll ask you to find the nearby Chenghuang Earth Temple, can you find it?"
"I really couldn't find the Earth Temple. They were all demolished by Buddhists to build temples. There is one Temple of the City God, but it is very dilapidated. It is at the junction of the Jing River and the Wei River in Chang'an. However, everything inside is extremely dilapidated, and the people who live there are all those who fled before.
of refugees.”
Yuan Tiangang looked puzzled, "Master, why are you looking for the Chenghuang Earth Temple?"
Su Chen said: "Looking for immortals."
Yuan Tiangang was surprised and said: "But, there is nothing special inside, there is no immortality at all."
Su Chen nodded slightly, thoughtfully, glanced at the demon mirror on the door beam, and already had some thoughts.
"I want you to do something for me and move all the refugees from the City God's Temple. If they don't have a place to live, let them come to my Yunyuan Mountain boundary and build a house for them."
"Anyway, I don't want anyone near the City God's Temple."
Yuan Tiangang didn't know why, but he still accepted the order.
"By the way, is there any news about your master and the others?!" Su Chen asked casually.
Yuan Tiangang said: "In the past few days, they have all taken turns planning in Chang'an City, trying to trick Mercy into Yunyuan Mountain. However, Mercy is very cautious, so they were all delayed."
Su Chen nodded, "Don't worry, I taught them some magic techniques. If you use them well, it won't be a problem to trick people here."
He has already passed on the two spells of invisibility and clone in the Eighteen Transformations of Heaven's Secret to the three of them, which is enough for them to attract people.
And at this time.
In Su Chen's mind, the golden list was beating, and he got the [Mountains and Rivers Map].
He asked Yuan Tiangang to go down and do some work, and he began to study the magic weapon of this Nuwa Empress!
The map of mountains and rivers is infinitely powerful, just like the changes of the four images, it is infinitely wonderful; thinking about mountains is mountains, thinking about water is water, thinking about the front is the front, and thinking about the back is the back.
Once you enter it, various scenes will change according to your thoughts. Eating the food inside is like Mount Tai weighing you down, and drinking the water inside is like pouring mercury.
This is a magic weapon specially used to trap and arrest people, and it is extremely tempting.
Su Chen played with it. It was similar to the scroll painted by Yan Liben. It had to be placed somewhere to transform it into the desired scene and deceive people into it.
"Refining it first, and then finding an opportunity to test its power." Su Chen thought secretly.
Then he began to enter the quiet room to refine this magic weapon.
It has to be said that this magic weapon took the longest to be refined after Su Chen obtained it. Even though he used the Nine-Character Mantra to enhance his soul, it also took him a day and a night to refine the Mountains, Rivers and Sheji Map.
The next day.
Su Chen got up and prepared to work as usual, but found a bird flying in the air. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. It was the messenger pigeon raised by Li Bai.
He took off the strip tied to the pigeon's leg and glanced at it, which immediately made Su Chen look happy.
"They tricked me into showing mercy and asked me to prepare early."
Su Chen suddenly became interested, "After all, it is an invincible existence among mortals. I don't know how strong it is. I must be fully prepared."
"But the demon-slaying sword and the magic mace cannot be used easily, otherwise even a real mortal will not be able to hold on. I want to catch him and learn about the gods and monsters in this world."
With this thought, Su Chen decided to refuse the pilgrims today, lest they get into a fight and hurt innocent people.
He can't die here, otherwise it will affect the future.
Su Chen took out the map of mountains and rivers and the country and hung it up directly.
Then he began to wait patiently.
Talk about both ends.
Inside Chang'an City.
Li Bai, Sun Simiao, and Yan Liben have been hanging out outside Huangma Temple for several days, but they have never been able to find a good opportunity to contact Master Mercy.
And their identity tags are too obvious. If they appear here often, it will definitely make people feel that they are up to something.
Therefore.
Sun Simiao decided that he would personally enter the palace to take pulses of the nobles in the palace, treat illnesses and save people, and use Taoism to calm their minds.
Yan Liben and Li Bai spread the news.
Huangma Temple, Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
An old monk with a shaved head and thick eyebrows and big ears was reading scriptures. He was the only one in the entire library.
However, there were monks outside the Sutra Pavilion, ready to fight.
"Elder Cichen."
"Well, open the door. The poor monk wants to go in."
"The Merciful Master is reading a book, no one is allowed to disturb him."
"The poor monk has something most important to report to the presiding brother, and you can't afford to delay it."
When the monk outside the door was in trouble, the voice of the compassionate old monk came from the Sutra Pavilion.
"Let Junior Brother Cichen come in."
The door opened.
A big monk with a sinister face walked in and quickly came to Mercy's side, but stopped about ten feet away.
"Brother, the exact news is that Sun Simiao and Yan Liben, as well as the young master Li Bai, often appear in Baiyunfang today, looking for people to inquire about the situation of our Huangma Temple."
Master Mercy said: "Is that guy from Hualong Temple in Yunyuan Mountain finally going to take action against me? Well, at the beginning, I was just standing up for my fellow sect member of Jinji Temple and wrote a blood letter on his cassock to accuse him of treason. Didn't I recover it in the end?"
, actually still holding on tightly."
The fat monk Cichen said: "Brother, there is another news. Sun Simiao has entered the palace. At this time, only Yan Liben and Li Bai are outside the door."
Master Mercy frowned, "Why did he enter the palace?!"
Ci Chen said: "The news from the palace is that Sun Simiao immediately checked the pulses of the nobles for medical treatment when he entered the palace. He also told some people that the phenomenon of fasting in the palace is too serious and affects the blood!"
"Asshole!"
Master Mercy stood up angrily and said: "Sun Simiao was instructed by Niubi to compete with me for the palace's favor."
"Okay, since they want to play, I will play with them."
He glanced at it, and the fat monk Cichen turned around knowingly. Then Master Mercy went to the depths of the Sutra Pavilion and opened the secret door.
He quickly took out a jar with a vermilion Buddha verse on it.
Master Mercy's face was solemn, "It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva delayed becoming a Buddha in order to save a man who was about to be eaten by a tiger in Liangjie Mountain. The tiger was sealed in this Buddhist altar."
The fat monk Cichen's eyes were shining and he said: "It is said by our ancestors that this tiger is the Taibao of Liangjie Mountain. It is so powerful that even gods can eat it. Use it to deal with that cow's nose?!"
Master Mercy said: "I once invited him to eat the former mountain god of Huangma Temple."
Ci Chen added: "Since he is so powerful, why don't you just release him and guard the mountain for Huangma Temple at all times?!"
Master Mercy suddenly smiled and said: "Because if he wants to kill someone, he must sacrifice someone for him."
Just when Cichen was wondering, Master Mercy had already opened the Buddhist altar.
Then a puff of yellow smoke came out and transformed into a large, colorful tiger, three feet tall, suspended in the air, looking down at the two monks.
Master Mercy stretched out his hand and the colorful tiger swallowed Ci Chen.
"Who will we kill this time?!"
"Yunyuan Mountain, Hualong Temple, just a little Taoist priest."
On Children's Day, I went home to attend a classmate's wedding. I felt really sad and tired. I just had time to catch up on the updates.
