People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 704 Nine Trues and One False, Counting the Army
Inside the monk's house, Ming Chongyan looked at Li Xuan's secret book, and immediately reached out to grab it: "This book, I want to take it away."

"No." Di Renjie put one hand on the secret book, and said to Li Xuan with a serious expression: "My lord, buying murder is a serious crime, and should be investigated by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. This book should be handed over to Dali Temple for disposal first. "

Ming Chongyan turned his head to look at Di Renjie, his eyes were cold, but Di Renjie's eyes were firm and he did not back down.

"You two." Li Xuan slammed her right hand, took a step forward, stood between the two, pushed Di Renjie and Ming Chongyan away, and said with some amusement: "The authenticity of this book has not yet been decided, how can I tell you what to do?" Talk about using it as a crime?"

Li Xuan turned to look at Di Renjie, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Huaiying, it's not that this king is partial to the real person Shiyin, but I hope you have never forgotten what happened to the murder case in front of you. This book is very interesting." It may be that the Tubo people used it to disrupt the situation of our Tang Dynasty before our conquest of Tubo. If you believe it without distinguishing the true from the false, then it will cause chaos in the dynasty, and the army of [-] will go west, and the entire army will be wiped out The possibility. Brother Huaiying, the overall situation!"

Those who handle the case are too thoughtful and stubborn, blindly investigating the case without arguing about the overall situation, which eventually leads to countless deaths and injuries.

Sometimes even so, I still stubbornly think that I am right, even if I do it all over again, I still make the same choice, which is a headache.

But Di Renjie is different, he has the ability to be a minister, and he can weigh the importance of the matters involved.

Seeing Li Xuan's solemn expression, Di Renjie took a deep breath, and then said: "My lord, this matter is extraordinary. Although it may cause chaos in the court and affect the war situation in Tubo, if this matter is not dealt with, the people above will be killed." The handle, being held by someone, will also affect the situation of the battle."

Speaking of this, Di Renjie turned his head to look at Ming Chongyan, slightly cupped his hands and said, "My real man, can we definitely consider all the above things to be all? If others control it, when the time comes to fight together, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ming Chongyan looked serious, and cupped his hands at Di Renjie: "Sicheng has a vision, and the poor Taoist admires it. Please rest assured, this secret book will be handled by the palace itself, except for matters involving clan relatives and front-line generals. For other matters, I will be guaranteed by the poor, and the original will be sent to the Si Cheng, but the truth or falsehood of this will need to be investigated by the Si Cheng."

"Secret investigation." Li Xuan interrupted suddenly, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Although this matter will require Dali Temple to intervene in the investigation, but now, this case is still handled by the king. If Dali Temple wants to investigate, it must also conduct a secret investigation and arrest people. Also need to play the center.

If the king's guess is correct, there may be many front-line generals involved, and some of them will be plotted without knowing it, so it needs to be clearly distinguished.

All of this is likely to be part of the Tubo plan, just like the earlier successor to the British Duke.

Once dealt with, I am afraid that the entire Western Front will be shaken. "

Regarding Li Jingye's matter, many people in the court did not know about it, but the three people here are all insiders.

Understanding the importance of this, Di Renjie finally took half a step back, cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the prince's order."

"Thank you, Brother Huaiying." Li Xuan nodded, looked at Ming Chongyan, and said in a deep voice: "Realist, the things in this are estimated to be [-]% true, [-]% false, and the [-]% false are Tubo. The real purpose of a person, please be discerned carefully by the real person."

"Don't worry, my lord. Check this matter out. Qianniuwei is much more convenient and faster than Dali Temple. In this case, the poor will leave first." Ming Chongyan turned to Li Xuan and Di Renjie to check the head, then turned and left, and went straight to the temple. In the palace.

After Ming Chongyan left completely, Di Renjie looked at Li Xuan and asked, "My lord, apart from the taboo of offering sacrifices, what else is Zhou Guogong involved in?"

Zhou Guogong Wu Chengsi.

Wu Chengsi has a lot of contact with Shan Wuhui, so it's hard to say that there are no secrets that are not known by him.

"Who knows?" Li Xuan paused for a moment, and then said softly: "Duke Zhou has always had great ambitions, and the ups and downs in his heart are difficult for ordinary people to know, but his identity is sensitive, and if he makes a slight mistake, he is in danger of going to his predecessors , so I have always been careful, so why is this place now?"

Li Xuan raised her head and looked around the monk's house, frowned and said, "This is definitely not a place to buy murders... Find someone to ask, has Du Clan and Du Yuanding only come here once, or do they often come here?"

"I understand." Di Renjie immediately cupped his hands, then turned and went to make arrangements.

If Du Yuanding only came once, and no one even saw it, then maybe it was related to buying murder.

But if you come here often, that's another way of saying it.

"Buddhist temples hire murderers to kill people, how can we talk about it when we meet." Li Xuan sighed softly, looked at other places in the room, and finally couldn't help but shake her head.

The people of Dali Temple almost dug the entire monastery three feet into the ground, but apart from the secret book, there was still nothing useful to gain.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door. Di Renjie walked in solemnly, then cupped his hands to Li Xuan and said: "Reporting to the prince, I have already asked. Du Yuanding will come here every half a month or so to look for kindness." Master without regrets.

Moreover, although there are not many people who come to see Master Shan Wuhui on weekdays, there are also quite a few, most of them are the children of the noble family in Chang'an, and every time they come, they will basically stay for about half an hour before leaving. No one else in the temple knows what they are What are we talking about? "

Li Xuan suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if he had heard of this thing somewhere.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan asked directly: "Is it true that no one else is allowed to approach during this period, and even if someone enters by mistake, they won't be able to hear anything."

Di Renjie nodded, with a look of doubt on his face. Could it be that there is really something shady in the process.

Li Xuan raised her head, looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Brother Huaiying, does Buddhism also teach repentance?"

"Yes." Di Renjie suddenly understood, looked at Li Xuan, and said with an ugly face: "Buddhist sect has regulations, monks gather every half a month to recite precepts, and give offenders a chance to repent, and then become self-repentant." Chen Jiguo, a ritual of repenting and praying for blessings. It is said that it was passed down from the primitive Buddhism in Tianzhu..."

In the middle of the conversation, Di Renjie couldn't continue, because the master Shan Wuhui was a monk from Tianzhu.

"It seems that the things in the secret book were all dictated by the person who did the work, and finally recorded by the master of no regrets..." Li Xuan sneered suddenly when he said this: "What a no regrets, repent to the point of no regrets , is really a good monk!"

Di Renjie's face was equally ugly, and he looked at Li Xuan and said, "My lord, if the content on it is his own dictation, but it has been deleted or modified, reduced or added to the crime, then it means that someone can kill people with a knife at will. .”

"So this case ended up in Dali Temple, Brother Huaiying, you have to be careful." Li Xuan sighed softly.

It's good to fish in troubled waters.

Di Renjie suddenly felt a headache. It is not an ordinary person who can be plotted by the Tibetans. Once he makes a mistake, the front line may really collapse.

……

Li Xuan suddenly sneered, and said: "Since the person behind the scenes can know about this matter, and even calculate the precise time, it must not be a repentant pilgrim, so the murderer is very likely to be a monk in the Great Mercy Temple, or even It is the monks who live in this backyard."

"My lord, in the backyard of the Da Ci'en Temple, there are dozens of eminent monks and great virtues from different sects from all over the world. If we really want to investigate, it's not easy!" Di Renjie's face was solemn and full of caution.

Even for him, it is not an easy task to track down dozens of eminent monks from different temples in the Tang Dynasty at this time.

Daci'en Temple, since Master Xuanzang returned from his westward journey, he has translated scriptures of countless sects of Buddhism.

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, even in Dongdao and Wa Kingdom, countless temples sent monks to study.

Although Master Xuanzang has passed away for many years, there are still many people who come to Da Ci'en Temple to study Buddhism.

Now there are as many as 40 to [-] people in this backyard.

Li Xuan shook her head slightly, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Brother Huaiying, please go to Master Yuji and ask him to gather all the monks in the backyard and sit outside this room, and ask them to recite the heart mantra of Sakyamuni Buddha at will, for no regrets. The master prays for death."

"Here!" Di Renjie turned around and immediately made arrangements. Although he was muttering Li Xuan's intentions in his heart, he did not hesitate at all and followed through.

Li Xuan looked solemn, turned around and returned to the house, closing the door.

Silently.

……

Not long after, Di Renjie and Monk Kuiji invited a famous eminent monk from other places outside the courtyard.

All the monks sat on the futon, closed their eyes and bowed their heads in an instant, clasped their palms together, and recited Shakyamuni Buddha's heart mantra in a low voice.

Half an hour later, all the monks were still chanting in a low voice, and at this moment, the door of the room opened suddenly.

Li Xuan walked out of the room with serious eyes. At this moment, he was holding a palm-sized secret book in his hands, which was almost exactly the same as the one that Ming Chongyan took away before.

At this moment, a black-clothed monk on the left side of the monks suddenly raised his head and looked at the secret book in Li Xuan's hand, his face full of astonishment.

All the others lowered their heads and chanted at this time, only he raised his head in astonishment, which was extremely conspicuous.

With a "bang", the secret book was suddenly thrown out by Li Xuan, directly towards the black-clothed monk.

Subconsciously, the black-clothed monk got up instantly and grabbed the secret book in mid-air,
However, less than halfway up, the monk in black froze there.

Let the secret book slide across his face, and then fall here with a bang.

"Amitabha Buddha." Monk Kui Ji suddenly folded his palms together and chanted.

In an instant, countless monks present chanted in unison: "Amitabha."

Everyone opened their eyes at the same time, turned around, and looked at the monk in black.

Countless pairs of bright eyes full of wisdom, calmness, and tranquility fell on the black-clothed monk, and the immense pressure made him unable to move at all.

The black monk's face showed endless ferocity, and Buddha energy surged all over his body, but no matter how he moved, his whole body seemed to be bound by invisible forces, making him unable to move at all.

Li Xuan walked through the monks step by step, and walked up to the black-clothed monk, looked at him calmly, then raised his right palm, and then lowered it.

With a "bang", the black monk fell silently to the ground.

The eminent Buddhist monks present were all well-educated, and they could tell at a glance that the black monk was just knocked unconscious, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At this time, all the monks chanted at the same time: "Amitabha."

"Amitabha!" Li Xuan clasped his palms together, bowed slightly, and said, "I would like to trouble all masters for today's matter, please come back for the time being, and Xuan will report on the follow-up of this matter."

"Amitabha." The monks bowed slightly to Li Xuan, and then under the arrangement of Monk Kui Ji, they returned to their Zen rooms one by one.

After everyone left, Li Xuan looked at Monk Kui Ji who had returned: "Abbot, what is the origin of this person?"

Monk Kuiji said with a complex expression: "He is called Daotong, he comes from Jianye Dinglin Temple, he is a disciple of the Jushe Sect, and he is a descendant of Hinayana Buddhism."
