Chapter 100: scheming emperor
After a brief conversation with Master Huijing, Li Yuan roughly learned some information about the internal sects of the White Lotus Sect. The next one, Li Yuan wanted to have a more in-depth conversation with her, but Master Huijing's words later became dodging. Li Yuan, who knew how to hide his words and avoided them, was also very cognitive.
Or he was even more convinced that his current conditions would not be revealed by Master Huijing, but he could wait.
Finally, Li Yuan emphasized that he should announce to the world as soon as possible that he was still alive, otherwise both sides would know that if Chang'an spreads the news that he was dead, it would be really cold.
Huijing agreed, so she hurriedly went down to prepare.
Li Yuan was locked up in an exquisite double-storey building.
The small building is surrounded by guards of the Incense Burning Sect, both southeast and northeast, and they cannot escape with their wings.
The first floor of the small building is enshrined in Maitreya Buddha, and the second floor is where the owner of the room originally rests. The bedroom is also very simple. The bed slightly higher than the ground, the quilt that is exactly the same as ordinary people, as well as a small strange beast furnace and a screen.
White smoke rose, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, with a futon under his butt, and his eyes were looking at the screen.
The whole building attracted his attention just outside the screen style.
The screen is a painting, which depicts a woman with hair tied to save the people. Countless people were creeping on the ground, while the woman with hair tied her back to the world, stepping on the lotus platform on the soles of her feet, and there are lotus flowers on the ground, some are in bud, and some are blooming in full bloom.
Without exception, it should be the birthless old mother imagined by the White Lotus Sect.
The blank space in the lower right corner of the screen reads the name of the person who paints it, and a red stamp.
"Tian Sengliang, I have never heard of it." Li Yuan smacked his tongue.
Due to his own knowledge, Li Yuan did not hear the famous name of this Three Great Painter, so he could not resonate with the painting in front of him.
He pondered slightly, writing and drawing with his fingers on the ground.
Now that we have arrived at Xiangzhou’s incense burning religion, then we will be at peace since we come.
The White Lotus Sect wanted to subvert the prosperous Tang Dynasty and make trouble in the eyes of Li Shimin, which was simply a tragedy.
Perhaps the army of believers who had just been organized would be completely destroyed by the invincible Tang army's charge.
By then, his life will be very dangerous, and the White Lotus Sect, who have no way out, may strip him of life and death.
Now Li Yuan feels like he is dancing on the tip of a knife. If he is not careful, he will be cut into pieces. But if he leaves well, he will be the peak of his life!
If nothing unexpected happens, his identity will be announced by the Burning Incense Sect in a day or two, and then scattered in the world. With the words of the crowd, he will be determined to be still alive in the world. Then, after preparing for a period of time, the White Lotus Sect will plan an uprising.
The White Lotus Sect Uprising will inevitably fail, but there is a buffer period during this period, time to gather the church and conspire to revolt.
He must seize the opportunity for at least one or two months during this period!
And this opportunity is... pyramid scheme.
"Come here, I want to get rid of it!" Li Yuan walked to the door of the first floor and said to a black-faced guard at the door.
"Water in the toilet?" The black-faced guard was stunned for a moment, called two companions to follow him, and then took Li Yuan to the toilet together.
When Li Yuan entered the toilet, he felt disgusted. The toilet was a dry toilet, so he used two blue bricks to lay it on it, and there was a pit below. The feces and urine inside were everywhere, emitting all kinds of foul smells.
He is not a pretentious person, and he has never seen the toilets in the countryside.
After he urinated casually, he stood at the base of the toilet wall and waited deliberately, waiting for the three guards to speak impatiently.
"Master Huang Xiang said that the person in front of us is quite a small identity. We should take it seriously and we should not take it lightly." The guard who Li Yuan called for the first time just now, black-faced, alerted the other two.
"Come on, I look like an ordinary Taoist priest." The short and fat guard loosened his feet, and he was a little tired just now.
He didn't care in his heart.
"We mainly take care of Huang Xiang, don't care so much." The tall and thin guard reminded.
"From the words just now, we can analyze three things. The first thing is that these three people are small minions and do not know their identities. In other words, Master Huijing has not announced it to the public yet. The second thing is that the heads of these guards should be the Huang Xiangzhu. The Xiangzhu is probably a position in the Burning Incense Sect, similar to the Heaven and Earth Society. The third thing is that the short and fat guard spoke a very relaxed tone when he said to the Taoist priest just now, as if he was a common thing.
It is now the early Tang Dynasty, and Taoism and Buddhism have fought openly and secretly, unlike the later harmonious coexistence...
In other words, the short and fat guard probably didn't believe in Maitreya Buddha very much, but he joined the incense burning sect, so what he wanted was money and profit. If that's the case, it means he can win over." Li Yuan hid in the toilet and analyzed secretly.
"Vomit~ It smells so bad. I wonder how you poor people endure this environment!" Li Yuan covered his mouth and nose, retching while walking.
His face was full of disgust.
"..." Three guards.
Since it smells so bad, you have been in for a full quarter of an hour. Are you eating inside?
"I don't care. I'll ask you to come and get a horse... a toilet." Li Yuan said dissatisfied, like a landlord.
The horse he was talking about at this moment was not a woman, but a toilet. In order to avoid the tragedy of Duke Jing of Jin falling into a cesspool and drowning, the ancient emperors mostly used toilet buckets to go to the toilet, and the toilet buckets were generally like tigers, also called tigers. Unfortunately, Li Yuan's father seemed to be called Li Hu. In order to avoid taboos, he could only call him horses. This is the same as changing the tiger talisman to fish talisman.
"Fuck, who are you? You're just a broken Taoist priest." The black-faced guard cursed. It was not easy for them to endure the stench next to the toilet. Unexpectedly, this guy is still getting more and more aggressive.
The tall and thin guards still started to curse together, while the short and fat guards flashed their eyes. After hesitating for a moment, they also started to curse together.
But Li Yuan didn't have the intention to make more controversy with these little people.
He looked at the distance with his hands proudly, pulled his clothes for a while, and groaned, "Do you know what material is made of? The best Jinyun section is worth fifty coins per foot, which is worth the lives of you several people?"
This is not modern society. The lives of ancient people can be measured by money, and the lives of the grass mustard are enough!
"And I... change one thing a day!" His disdainful breath showed a naked show of expression.
"This..." The black-faced guard's eyes changed slightly. He walked into Li Yuan's Taoist costume carefully. Although he didn't know any silk material, he felt extremely smooth and comfortable just by touching the clothes. It must be valuable. The person in front of him did have the capital to look down on them.
Ha! A rich man!
