Chapter 887 Someone needs to lead troops to expedition

Li Zhi looked at Li Yi Mansion and said, "It's you? You can do rituals too?"

He had a good impression of Li Yifu, believing that this person speaks honestly. Although he has not shown any talent in his methods of doing things, honesty is an advantage. For the emperor, people who need to be able to do things need as many as possible, but honesty is rare.

Li Yifu hurriedly said, "When I say to the emperor, I have never done rituals, but I have seen anyone do it. When I was a young man, I traveled around and saw Xianbei wizards performing rituals. The effect was very good, but I didn't know if it was suitable for our Tang Dynasty!"

The Tang Dynasty royal family had Xianbei blood, and Changsun Wuji even had Xianbei surnames. Moreover, many important officials in the court had Xianbei relatives. However, with the great ethnic integration in the early Tang Dynasty, the Xianbei people gradually disappeared. Even Changsun Wuji himself did not admit that he was a Hu person, but firmly believed that he was a Tang person!

Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty discriminated against other ethnic groups, and of course they still looked down on the Xianbei tribes that exist on the grasslands, but they were not disgusted with the customs of the Xianbei, which was acceptable.

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Witchcraft? Can you believe such things? The Hu people's things are all fooling people, so you can't learn them accordingly!"

Changsun Wuji said, "It's a witchcraft, is it the kind of witchcraft that wants to kill people and sacrifice to heaven? You can't believe this! Where did you see it?"

Li Yifu said: "When the emperor and Lord Changsun said, it is not the kind of witchcraft that kills people and sacrifices to heaven, but exorcises evil spirits. It is simple to say, it is similar to the rituals done by Master Xuanzang. But... but..."

Changsun Wuji asked, "It's just something, say it quickly, don't waste time."

Li Yifu quickly said, "It just needs a little bit of human blood, and it must be the human blood of relatives. I have seen it on the grassland. The situation at that time was similar to that now. It was a very small tribe. The son of the Khan king was entangled by demons and could not drive away the demons. The wizard used his uncle's blood and tears to throw the ashes into the fire, and conquered the ashes to the Khan king's son. The demons were away and dared not to bother others anymore."

After pausing, he said, "After watching the ritual, I asked the wizard specifically. The wizard said that not only should I use my uncle's blood, but also my uncle who had committed a crime, so that it would be the most effective. Otherwise, no matter what method was used, even if the demon was driven away at that time, the demon would come back soon and pester the host again."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was surprised. Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "How could there be such witchcraft? Could it be that he would use poison to fight poison?"

Li Yifu said: "This... Xiaguan doesn't know, but the Khan's son recovered soon. The tribe moved westward and didn't know where to go, so Xiaguan didn't know what to do later. It was because this method was good or not, and Xiaguan didn't know whether it was good or not."

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and thought to himself: "Uncle who has committed sins? This method...hey, that's not good. Isn't that Li Ke the uncle who has committed sins? But how can Li Ke be guilty again? He has washed away his former sins!"

Li Zhi thought to himself: "What kind of method is this? It cannot be implemented at all! Only Li Ke is the uncle who has committed a crime, but he is in Yingzhou now, and he claims to be innocent, so we can only think that he is innocent!"

Wang Ping'an said, "There is no other way? It seems that there is no need to use my uncle's blood and tears? If the eyes are bleeding and tears, will the eyes be ruined? The injuries on the eyes are almost impossible to completely cure."

Li Yifu uttered and said, "I heard the wizard casually mention that the mother's blood and tears are OK, but the Khan's concubine was not the prince's biological mother, and she was unwilling to use blood and tears to exorcise the prince, so it was useless. Moreover, it is not clear whether this method is easy to use, it should be difficult to use. The subordinates just heard and reported it truthfully."

After saying that, he sighed and whispered: "I'm afraid I'm going to offend the Queen this time!"

Wang Ping'an's face was beating, and he looked in the crowd, hoping to find Wu Meiniang. Needless to say, this method must have been taught by Wu Meiniang, which was really sinister.

Changsun Wuji snorted and said, "It's indeed witchcraft, it's purely a harmful act!" He said this, but he thought to himself: "Who taught him to say this? Could it be that Yang Chunhua? This little woman is cruel enough. If you want to kill the queen in this way, you need to be careful!"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said, "No wonder the Xianbei people would destroy their country and destroy their tribes. How could such evil techniques be used to make no country ruin?" He shook his sleeves and entered the imperial tent, and the ministers followed him in.

The official of Li Yifu was too young and was not qualified to go in. He stayed outside and looked at Wu Meiniang's tent. He thought to himself: "I offended Queen Wang completely and offended Wang Ping'an too. But well, I have no way out, and Queen Yang will trust me more!"

Outside of the tent, the monarch and ministers sat down, and no one spoke, but were thinking about their worries. The ministers all heard Li Yifu talking nonsense outside, and no one believed it, and thought that the method used by this despicable villain was too inferior and despicable. Why bother to mention the poisonous plan that could not be successful? The emperor could not let the queen shed any blood and tears, and Master Xuanzang was doing rituals, so he would not agree to use this kind of witchcraft!

Wang Ping'an lowered his head and thought for a while, but suddenly realized that Wu Meiniang had no hope of success when she used this poisonous plan, but she buried a thorn in Li Zhi's heart, that is, Queen Wang did not treat Li Zhong sincerely, and she did not really love the prince.

Even if Queen Wang was willing to use blood and tears, she would have proposed it herself, and Li Zhi would not agree. How could this kind of witchcraft be used? But time goes by, and after a year or two, it is impossible for a child to remain unsick. As long as Li Zhong is sick, Li Zhi will not be able to think about this aspect, or someone reminds him to think about this aspect.

Li Zhi is an indecisive person and his ears are very soft. Over time, he forgot his original decision. With someone instigating him, he would not think that he did not let Queen Wang "bleed and tears" at the beginning, but that Queen Wang was unwilling to shed. He would naturally think that Queen Wang did not really love Li Zhong, so that Li Zhong would no longer let Li Zhong get close to Queen Wang.

A queen who cannot give birth to a prince has no prince as a support, so it will be a matter of time before she loses power. Besides, with Wu Meiniang, a powerful enemy, she may be found again in less than two years and thrown into the cold palace.

This is a very dark and insidious plan, which is typical of making things out of nothing and sowing discord. It was used extensively during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He learned similar stories when he was studying, such as when the wife of a prince gave birth to his eldest son, his mother had a nightmare. It was nothing, but later she became more and more disgusted with her eldest son and turned to her younger son, which led to civil strife in the country. It was not exactly the same, but similar was pure psychological effects, which led to alienation and even became enemies. We could only meet in the underworld!

Wang Ping'an looked at the ministers in the tent and thought to himself: "They all thought that the guy who was willing to be his son to the eunuch is foolish. They all thought that if a bad plot would not succeed, right? They were all wrong. If they knew what kind of master was behind that despicable villain, if they could live for decades, when that master changed the name of the Tang Dynasty, they might not think so as they are now!"

After a while of silence in the tent, Li Zhi sighed and said, "Make the ritual grander, at least let me relieve this concern. Also, I decided to build a new imperial palace. There is no place in the city. Just build it outside the city. It is built on the east side of Xuanwu Gate. There is an empty space there, and it is built outside the city. Then I will no longer be entangled by the evil ghosts of the previous dynasty. After all, they have built Daxing City, but they have never built anything outside the city!"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Isn't that the place where Daming Palace will be built in the future? It turns out that he has also looked forward to it!"

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, but kept thinking in his heart that things had already happened and the solution was so ridiculous. But no matter how ridiculous it was, as long as it was beneficial to him. Li Ke was really annoying. If he could get him back and repair it "reasonably", it would be great. Why not use the despicable villain's method?

Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji each had their own worries, but when other ministers heard the emperor's words, they all opposed it. They all said that building a new palace was too exhausting and it was not possible to build it in a year or two. Since the emperor was unwilling to go back to the palace to live, the new palace could not be built in time. So where did the emperor live during this period? He had been hunting outside!

Li Zhi did not listen to his opinion and waved his hand and said, "I have decided to do it like this! As for where I live, I can live in the palace before I became the crown prince. There is no need to clean up anything. The place is big enough!"

Changsun Wuji suddenly said, "As long as Master Xuanzang is asked to do the rituals well, the palace can still be returned to live without changing places. But the old minister is worried about something, and this matter is probably very difficult!"

Li Zhi sighed: "What's wrong again? Why are there so many things happening during this period, and it makes me more upset by one!"

Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty, when Shi Yifu talked about witchcraft just now, he did not avoid others. Everyone present heard it. It would be okay for us Tang people to hear it, just to listen to a disgusting joke. But there were envoys from foreign countries at that time. We couldn't block their mouths and could not make them not spread randomly. If what they spread was spreading and spreading became a rumor and was learned by Li Ke from Yingzhou, wouldn't that be bad?"

The ministers in the tent heard his words and exclaimed in unison! Yes, the messengers outside heard the witchcraft, but they didn't know how to spread it! Based on the emergence, development, and the final result of the rumors, everyone knew very well, and they would definitely make a mess!

Rumors will spread the emperor as if he wanted to save the prince, and he wanted to kill his younger brother. The bleeding and tears would also spread it as something that would be pierced. Anyway, it would be to remove Li Ke from being sympathized with the weak. In this way, for the people who have always sympathized with the weak, in their hearts, Li Ke will change from a conspirator to a framed person. Not only will he be sympathized with, but he will also be spread around. In a few years, articles that will reflect this matter will appear. After the dynasty changes, it will even become one of the evidences of criticizing and smearing the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, saying that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so cruel and vicious that he will not even let his brother go and must be punished to death!

After all, the ministers can't see what happened in the future, but now it can be inferred that Li Ke is easily forced to rebel, and even if he is suppressed, someone can rebel later, and he often mentions this matter. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was like this to his biological brothers, and how could he be kind to us and the people? It would be better if he didn't want such a monarch, but he would be someone else!

These are all words on the lips, and they will definitely be mentioned repeatedly! Just like Yang Guang of the former Sui Dynasty, he harmed the former crown prince's brother Yang Yong. This is a matter of his own brothers fighting for property, and it has nothing to do with others. Moreover, his brother is not a good person. He is drunk all day long and likes women. If such a person becomes an emperor, the country will be finished sooner or later.

But in the former Sui Dynasty, Yang Yong was obviously not a good person, but whenever everyone rebelled, they had to call him a good prince. They said that Yang Guang killed his brother, and that he was so cruel to the people. He was a vicious monarch. In the end, the world rebelled and overthrew Yang Guang. Even Yang Guang's imperial guards said that he was a bad person, and killing him was in accordance with God's will!

Moreover, after the change of dynasties, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty also said that Yang Guang was not a good person. It is reasonable for everyone to rebel, so such an emperor should be overthrown. This incident is also recorded in history books!

Now, the situation Li Zhi faces is almost exactly the same as Yang Guang at the beginning. Li Ke is not a good person, but as long as he dies, no matter how he dies, he will be said to have been killed. It will definitely be counted on Li Zhi's head. Li Zhi can't even run away!

Li Zhi also figured it out. He was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "That Shi Yifu is so honest that he was too far-fetched. Why did he say that witchcraft in public? After he said this, no matter whether I can do it or not, others will definitely think that I can do it. Could it be that I will let me protect Li Ke? Is there no accident in my whole life?"

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "You still think that Li Yifu is honest. I think you are too honest!"

Changsun Wuji coughed and said, "The old minister has a way to deal with it. Isn't our army going to go to go to Goguryeo? Why don't we go to go on an expedition to destroy this court? How can the emperor appoint Li Ke as the vassal king of the new territory? Let him stay in Goguryeo and no longer enter the capital. The emperor valued and trusted him so much that others would not say anything, and anyone would be satisfied with such a large land. Li Ke was grateful and could not have any other intentions!"

Li Zhi whispered, his forehead was full of blue veins, thinking: "To prevent rumors, this price is too high. Isn't this equivalent to cracking the land and banning? The rumors are gone, but my country will be stripped away a large piece!"

Changsun Wuji paused and added: "After the war was over, Goguryeo was just pacified, and accidents would be quite a bit. Not only would the people of Goguryeo think about assassinating him, but the alien army that conquered Goguryeo would also cause some surprises due to all kinds of dissatisfaction, but that was all happened in Goguryeo and had nothing to do with you, the emperor."

The alien army that conquered Goguryeo? Could it be that it was to mobilize Turkic soldiers?

The ministers looked at Wang Ping'an together!
