"Woo!"
The cold and quiet sound of the flute sounded inexplicably in the hall, Huantian's hands pinched the magic formula, and a raindrop fell from the dark clouds.
Then the rain became heavier and in an instant it became a heavy rain.
Dark clouds hovered, thunder flashed, and heavy rain poured down, and the huge atmosphere was compressed in this small hall.
There have been many storms in the Tang Dynasty this year. I don’t know how many officials in the court and foreign envoys have seen this kind of scene.
But now the small space that appears in front of you is still surprising, and you can't help but point and point.
"The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon, the wind and clouds turn into rain, and the grain is plentiful. I wish the Tang Dynasty and its people peace and prosperity, and your Majesty a long life." Huan Tian bowed with a trace of pride in his eyes.
"It's not bad, I have a little bit of skill." Li Zhi nodded rarely, but his expression didn't show much surprise.
"Father?" Princess Taiping was really curious, but when the emperor said this, she was also a little confused.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "When the King of Nanchang prayed for rain at Longhu Mountain, the scene was much more grand than this."
Empress Wu on the side also nodded and said: "Praying for rain is much more difficult than this. King Nanchang has studied in Taoism for more than ten years and has learned a lot."
"Oh!" Princess Taiping couldn't help but wonder, and asked at the same time: "Then next time Uncle Wang comes back, can he show Taiping a lesson?"
"Forget it, I don't want to see too much rain." Li Zhi waved his hand directly with a wry smile.
There has been a lot of rain this year, and even if there is another drought next year, we can survive it.
Looking at Huantian, Li Zhi nodded calmly and said: "You have performed well. The inner government will appreciate it. Please step back."
The corners of Huantian's mouth twitched slightly, but he could only cup his hands and say, "I accept the order."
Huantian raised his head, pinched his fingers, and the dark clouds in the middle of the hall were about to disperse in an instant.
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, and there was a sudden, inexplicable pause.
The next moment, the dark clouds suddenly gathered again, and then suddenly expanded, directly covering the top of the entire hall.
Before anyone could react, the dark clouds rolled violently, and with a loud roar, a giant golden dragon suddenly appeared.
The giant dragon was circling, its scales fully visible, and above its upturned beard, a pair of dragon eyes stared eagerly at the emperor above, with a trace of teasing in its eyes.
A figure suddenly stood beside the emperor, and it was Cheng Wuting, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army.
Another person immediately stood next to Empress Wu, it was General Cheng Chubi of Zuo Jinwu Guard.
Cheng Wuting was dressed in black and gold armor, and Cheng Chubi was in red and gold armor. They both stared at the giant dragon.
"Roar!" The giant dragon seemed to be completely angered. The next moment, the figure hovering above rushed towards the emperor at high speed.
He bared his teeth and grinned, as if he wanted to bite the emperor into pieces in one breath.
"Blessings are endless."
"Maitreya Bodhisattva Mahasattva."
Voices from the left and right suddenly sounded under His Majesty Dan.
Immediately afterwards, a long whisk flew up and tightly bound the golden dragon; a golden bowl also flew up at this time, hanging on the top of the golden dragon, emitting immeasurable Buddha light to capture the golden dragon.
Li Zhi sat calmly on the high platform, looked at Huantian, and said coldly: "Huantian, are you declaring war on me on behalf of the Turkic tribes of the Anbei Protectorate?"
"Your Majesty, I definitely have no such intention." Ashina Guligan quickly stood up and bowed to the emperor in fear.
"Your Majesty, this is not my way." Huan Tian also looked frightened. He threw the fly whisk in his hand directly to the ground. He knelt down and looked around in horror, as if there was really someone there. Manipulating his spells in secret.
"Huh?" Li Zhi frowned and looked at the Taoist priests and monks on the left and right.
Louguan Taoist Yin Wenchao, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe, moved forward calmly. The whisk in the air immediately separated countless fine needles and inserted them directly into the golden dragon's body.
Monk Piaoji of Daci'en Temple, who was wearing a red Buddhist robe, looked up, and then the golden bowl was slowly pressed down.
The golden dragon struggled vigorously, its huge eyeballs flashing with angry eyes.
It stared at Li Zhi, as if it was about to rush down and tear Li Zhi into pieces.
A strong will came down hard, but Yin Wenchao, Monk Guiji, Cheng Chubi, and Cheng Wuting all stood firmly in Li Zhi's way.
All the impact, in an instant, turned into nothingness.
The next moment, there was a fierce counterattack.
Unseen by the ministers, the spiritual thoughts of Yin Wenchao, Monk Guiji, Cheng Chubi, and Cheng Wuting had already penetrated into Jinlong's body.
Jin Long paused for a moment, and the next moment, he was shaking uncontrollably.
With a "boom", the golden dragon suddenly exploded like a balloon being popped.
The golden dragon instantly exploded into countless tiny needles, which shot out in all directions.
At this moment, hundreds of imperial guards rushed out from behind, holding swords and shields and staring in front of all the princes and nobles, helping them withstand the incoming needles.
"Beng, Beng, Beng," a series of sounds rang out, and the thin needles made a crackling sound when they were pierced on the shields. Many of the Imperial Guards were a little unsteady on their feet for a while.
"Ah!" A clear exclamation suddenly came from behind the soldier, it was Princess Taiping's exclamation.
In an instant, everyone looked at Princess Taiping.
I saw a palm-sized golden dragon rushing towards Princess Taiping silently, and in front of her, several soldiers of the Imperial Guard blocked her.
Next to them, Li Xian, Li Xian, and Li Dan all saw it very clearly, and the soldiers of the Imperial Guard were blocking it very tightly.
Before everyone could come to their senses, the palm-sized golden dragon suddenly expanded infinitely.
In front of Princess Taiping, it expanded infinitely, filling her sight.
The huge golden dragon immediately captured Princess Taiping's mind.
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded: "Get out!"
Jin Long's movements paused for an instant. At this moment, the hundreds of agents who were committing crimes in front of Princess Taiping suddenly started to move.
There were people holding poles at the bow and rowing in the middle of the boat. Some were holding wine glasses, some were holding wine bowls, and some were holding wooden spoons. They all lined up in an instant, and then put the pennies, wood pulp, wine glasses, and wine in their hands. The bowl, wooden spoon, etc. were all thrown out immediately.
The golden dragons that paused in mid-air were completely dispersed in an instant, turned into golden light, and disappeared directly into nothingness.
That is to say, at the same time, all the golden light in mid-air also dissipated instantly.
Only the stunned Li Zhi, Empress Wu, Li Xian, Li Xian, Li Dan, Princess Taiping, and other ministers were left in the palace.
The emperor reacted quickly, looking at Huan Tian and Ashina Gu Ligan who were lying on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Assassination in the hall, someone will come and press Huan Tian into the Qianniu Prison, Ashina Gu Ligan Li Gan is imprisoned in Dali Prison. Three days later, the three divisions will interrogate him. I want to know all the results."
"Here!" A group of imperial guards stepped forward quickly, grabbed Huantian and Ashina Guligan, and then quickly took them down.
Li Zhi raised his head, turned to look at Liu Rengui, and said: "Call me, General Zuowei, Governor of Daizhou Xue Rengui, will prepare troops for war from now on. If something happens, he will immediately go to Mobei. It seems that you are provoking me like this." People seem to be really impatient.”
"I obey." Liu Rengui walked out solemnly, accepted the order with his hands, turned around and left quickly.
The emperor turned to look at Liu Jinyu on one side, frowned and asked: "Princess Nanchang, what happened just now?"
"I don't know, I don't know." Liu Jinyu stood up quickly and looked at the agency man on the desk with some worry.
After throwing out the things in their hands, the machine men quickly retreated to the back, guarding Princess Taiping with their bare hands.
But at this moment, Princess Taiping had already been firmly protected by several imperial guards.
Although these agency men seemed to be protecting Princess Taiping, in fact, they had functions that even Liu Jinyu didn't know about.
Liu Jinyu was slightly blessed and said: "Reporting to your majesty, my concubine and her husband-in-law personally carved these for my daughter Xia'er to play with at the beginning of the year. Because there are more than one batch carved, the appearance is exquisite, I So I selected a batch and presented it to His Majesty."
This was a little girl's plaything, so the emperor gave it to Princess Taiping. Who would have thought that there was another mystery inside.
That cold shout might be Li Xuanliu's means of protection.
Li Zhi subconsciously looked at Xia'er, nodded suddenly and said: "It turns out that the king of Nanchang gave this treasure to the Lord of Fuchang County to protect himself."
As he said that, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "The King of Nanchang's love for his daughter finally got the better of me. I came here to convey the decree and grant the title of Fuchang County Lord to one thousand acres, Fuchang Fuchang. Sure enough, It is worthy of my auspiciousness, and you are indeed blessed and prosperous."
All the officials present could not help but bow and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, live forever and have eternal prosperity."
"Haha!" Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.
Liu Jinyu bowed slightly to thank him. The moment he lowered his head, his face looked a little strange.
She knew that the emperor did like Xia'er a little, but in fact he was more using her to guide the world's attention and establish an image at the same time.
Datang was blessed by God.
Even among the foreign envoys in the palace, only one or two people could see through the truth. The others looked at the emperor and Liu Jinyu with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Liu Jinyu had some doubts in her heart. She didn't understand, what was going on today?
What is going on in this somewhat ridiculous scene today?
…
"The banquet continues." Li Zhi waved his hand domineeringly, and the hall started singing and dancing again.
The traces left by Huantian's previous movements have disappeared without a trace.
It was as if everyone had forgotten everything that had just happened.
Peacefulness.
However, between the eyes of interested people, an undercurrent surges.
Assassinating the emperor in public, how could things calm down like this?
Yuan Wanqing bowed slightly to Empress Wu. Empress Wu waved her hand, and Yuan Wanqing retreated carefully.
The emperor looked forward, as if he had not seen Yuan Wanqing leave at all.
After leaving Qianyang Hall, Yuan Wanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He walked quickly to the palace gate and walked out in front of countless officials, big and small, along the way, worried.
He didn't notice that there was a familiar gaze staring at him in the middle of the crowd.
Then, while the surrounding guards were out of position and in confusion because some of them had been transferred into the Qianyang Palace, he quietly retreated into the darkness, and then disappeared completely.
In Chang'an City further outside, there are thousands of Niu Guards and Jin Wu Guards have already moved.
Start arresting people according to the list given by the palace.
In the chaos, flames suddenly burst out, and flames burned in several places in the southeast, northwest and northwest at the same time.
More than a dozen figures in various costumes rushed towards the city wall, especially those unguarded, tall and smooth corners, and they quickly climbed up.
The moment they climbed up the city wall, a long tree suddenly stabbed forward.
Countless left and right guards appeared at the same time.
Changsha stabbed directly into the figure's chest.
The flames were burning, and inside and outside the city wall, an unknown number of cavalrymen on the left and right were patrolling quickly along the city wall.
Even if some people can break out of the city wall, they will immediately face the brutal butcher's knives of the guards on the left and right.
It was as if someone had already prepared to deal with all of this.
It's as if all this is a trap.
