Chapter 92 The Commander of the Yin Soldiers
Concubine Wu Hui kneeled, that would definitely not be a trivial matter.
Don’t look at what is wrong, don’t listen to what is wrong. Gao Mang pretended not to see the kneeling people, walked into the Hall of Longevity like a little saint and came to the emperor’s study.
Gao Mang was about to salute but was stopped by Gao Lishi's eyes. Emperor Li Longji was sitting at the chess table, comparing the chess score on the chessboard.
The emperor looked good, and his expression was as normal as he could see no sign of anger.
After a stick of incense, the emperor finally finished the score. He still praised a few times before he could notice that Gao Mang was waiting.
Li Longji smiled and said, "Somehow, my eyelids twitch when I see you, and I'll say, what do you want to do?"
"Sage, this time it's a serious matter," Gao Mang said seriously, "The boy went to Shengshan Temple before. This is a handwritten letter written by Master Shan Wuwei to the boy." After that, he handed the letter over.
Li Longji was surprised. After taking the letter, he only looked at a few lines, and his expression became solemn.
When he saw it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although Master Sanzang is not a Tang Dynasty man, he deserves the name of a Tang Dynasty scholar!"
Immediately, Li Longji opened the box containing the pagoda again, took out a pagoda and played with it for a while, and joy appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.
Although the method of restraining Yin soldiers mentioned in Shan Wuwei's letter has not been verified, Li Longji should not be wrong intuition.
It seems that to completely strangle the Yin soldiers, the alliance between Buddhism and Taoism is ultimately needed.
The letter from Master Shan Wuwei also mentioned his advice to Gao Mang. Li Longji deeply agreed, but he did not think that Gao Mang had such great energy to stir up the struggle between the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, at least not yet.
Li Longji looked at Gao Mang with relief: "Huairou, you have made another contribution this time, and with this period of hard work, I will definitely reward you after I discuss with you all."
"Thank you saint!" Gao Mang quickly thanked, his eyes rolled, "Sage, the water source has been selected, but the grain for brewing wine is also of particular importance. I still hope to go to the major granaries to inspect it."
Gao Mang had actually chosen the water source long ago, just north of Luoyang, the location of the Taoist famous Shangqing Palace.
Li Longji laughed silently. It was not just about looking for food. He was obviously crazy and wanted to go out for fun.
He smiled and nodded: "There are several large granaries around Luoyang. You can go and take a look, but the same thing is true, you can't run far."
"Abide by the Holy Order!" Gao Mang thanked with a smile.
He went to inspect the granary not to play, but to find clues of the Yin soldiers.
According to Zheng Sanniang's analysis, after the Yin soldiers were created in various secret bases, they were hidden in the granaries along the canal. This way, they could not only hide their traces, but also transport the Yin soldiers to various places through the canal when needed.
With such a complex transportation network, it is impossible not to leave any clues.
Today is the third day of November, and it is only more than twenty days before Wu Zetian's death date, and time is already very tight.
After the serious matter was finished, Gao Mang asked curiously: "Sage, did you see Concubine Hui kneeling outside? Did she commit a crime?"
Nonsense, Li Longji glared at Gao Mang and threw a memorial at the chess table to Gao Mang: "Look, the awakened ones in heaven are not only my national rank of the Tang Dynasty, but also the scourge of my Tang Dynasty!"
Gao Mang opened the memorial and was surprised to find that it was the details of Liu Zhicheng's rebellion.
After Liu Zhicheng rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, he took the banner of "Heaven's destiny is in Zhou, and welcoming the Holy Lord" and quickly struggled with the invasion of thousands of troops in Xianyang, and had the stance of troops coming to Chang'an.
However, all this is just an illusion. Just when Chang'an and the surrounding defenders were in chaos and guarding the imperial court to dispatch troops everywhere, Liu Zhicheng led a team of troops to attack Shunling north of Xianyang.
Shunling is a tomb built by Wu Zetian for his biological mother Yang. Many descendants of the Wu family were buried here, such as Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi.
The rebels took Wu Chengsi's body away, but they made a lot of publicity everywhere. The holy lord Wu Chengsi was resurrected from the dead and would lead the ghost soldiers to overthrow the Li Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Liu Zhicheng said it even more convincingly. The Holy Lord asked him to dream of him and appointed him as the general of restoration, raised an army to suppress the rebellion, and restored the Wuzhou Dynasty.
The rumors spread everywhere, which immediately caused the situation to shake. In addition, there were various rumors in the court that people had already pointed the finger at Concubine Wu Hui.
In this case, Concubine Wu Hui could not sit still, so she immediately submitted a complaint and knelt outside the Hall of Changsheng to prove her innocence.
The Wu family is also pitiful. Since the reinstatement of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang in the Shenlong Revolution, after more than 30 years of liquidation, there are no one left in the Wu family. The only remaining ones either hide in a remote place and live in seclusion in the mountains, without showing up on weekdays.
Only female-like people like Wu Huifei and Wu Xianyi entered the harem. In recent years, Wu Huifei's strong rise has shown great momentum to revitalize the Wu family.
Now that the insults in the dark army were already causing a lot of controversy, Wu Chengsi has been "resurrected". Don't worry about the truth or the falsehood, Wu Huifei has become the target of everyone's attack.
Haven't seen this period of time, even Li Linfu, King Shou Li, and the court officials who secretly supported King Shou calmed down?
"Boy, tell me, what do you think?" Li Longji asked Gao Mang.
Gao Mang asked foolishly: "Who is Wu Chengsi?"
He was not pretending and did not use the memory hive. He really didn't know who Wu Chengsi was.
Gao Lishi explained: "Wu Chengsi was the cousin of Empress Zetian. During the Wuzhou period, Wu Chengsi took over the power of the world and wanted to become the crown prince. He tried his best to do everything for this and harmed the Li Tang royal family. But in the end, Empress Tian decided not to establish a nephew and re-established Zhongzong as the crown prince. Wu Chengsi died in anger and was buried in Shunling."
Gao Mang couldn't help but suddenly realize that this made sense.
This Wu Chengsi is a serious Wu Zhou bloodline and is so obsessed with the throne. Perhaps because he is too obsessed with it, he "lives himself" again.
Yes, when the army of Yin soldiers gathered, there must be a supreme commander to behave like this. Wu Chengsi's body was stolen, and he must be the last Yin soldiers to be manufactured.
Gao Mang even felt that the development of the enhanced Yin Soldier was tailor-made for Wu Chengsi. After all, as the commander of the Yin Soldier Army, it should be more powerful.
Facing the emperor's question, Gao Mang thought for a while and said, "Sage, you have seen Yin soldiers and killed Yin soldiers. But the ghostly appearance of Yin soldiers can't be associated with Concubine Hui."
Li Longji nodded slightly, but his face turned a little dark.
I know that you are talking nice things for Concubine Hui, but comparing Concubine Hui with Yin Soldiers is too much. How can I hug her and sleep in the future?
Gao Mang continued: "Let's talk about that demon Liu Zhicheng, but a merchant, who was just a few thousand gangs, rebelled, was too ridiculous. The court could destroy him in a minute. With Concubine Hui's intelligence and wisdom, he would never use such a fool."
Well, Li Longji did not argue, Liu Zhicheng was not necessarily stupid, he was just a chess piece used, and rebellion was more about building momentum for the Yin soldiers.
So did Concubine Wu Hui participate in the conspiracy of the Yin soldiers to cause chaos?
Who instructed Liu Zhicheng?
