After saying that, Li Zhi leaned back, looking very proud.
Seeing the old god Li Zhi, Li Xian couldn't help but smile in relief.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, except for the Warring States Period, how many emperors have been assassinated since the Tang Dynasty?
Although it is not as good as the infrared security everywhere in later generations, there is no doubt that as the best person in the world, he is able to turn the protection around him into copper and iron.
Under such circumstances, if any assassin can succeed, then these defensive forces are too embarrassing.
Therefore, unless it is a legion-level rebellion, it is still difficult for the emperor to have an accident.
As for Balukya...
Perhaps he has never been taken seriously by Li Zhi.
A smarter outsider, perhaps this is Li Zhi's judgment of Ba Lujia.
Although he is a bit arrogant, with Li Zhi's current achievements, he is fully qualified to be arrogant.
Looking at the scene in the hunting ground, Li Zhi breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Xian'er, a big country should have the capacity of a big country. It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty is powerful that people like them prefer to use ghost tricks instead of real things. Swords and guns. Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty is a bit empty at the moment, as long as our defenses are consolidated in a few decades, they will become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty will also make a huge leap. Until then, Ba Lujia and others will not dare to use any evil tricks!"
Looking at the high-spirited Li Zhi, Li Xian could only bow his hands and salute.
He was really embarrassed to tell Li Zhi that ideals are good, but reality is skinny. The territory of the Tang Dynasty was not empty, but too empty. Moreover, his prodigal mother-in-law, coupled with a group of descendants who like to eat and wait for death, did not last long before civil strife broke out in the Tang Dynasty, causing the Tang Dynasty's national destiny to take a turn for the worse.
Li Zhi's achievements are indeed shocking in ancient times and today. Regardless of the land area, in terms of area, even the Yuan Dynasty cannot compare, and he is the first in Chinese history. However, his behavior was a bit blind, a typical example of killing someone without burying him. We have defeated it, but if we cannot defend it well, how can we count it as our own property?
But these words obviously cannot be said out loud.
With such a father, Li Zhi is now completely immersed in the pleasure of his achievements and cannot extricate himself. Who dares to say that his achievements are in vain at this time? It may be difficult to live.
The doubts that troubled him were answered, and Li Xian felt much relieved. He simply accompanied Li Zhi to watch the hunting teams.
This autumn hunting was a kind of wantonness under long-term suppression.
Many people have a problem, that is, when faced with suffering, they always selectively ignore it and leave negative emotions behind. For today's Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers, whether it is a drought or not being able to raise troops during a drought, it is a kind of torture.
Now that it’s autumn hunting, it’s a good time to let off some steam.
Because of this, Li Zhi allowed the generals to drink as much as they wanted, and even built a chariot for himself to show off.
Nowadays, the daytime has shortened a lot, the sun is setting, and the hunting ground has become dark due to the low terrain.
If you continue to hunt when the sky is dark, you are courting death. When the enemy and ourselves are unknown, it is easy for accidental injuries to occur. As for accidental injury, it appeared during autumn hunting. Although it didn't seem like a big deal on the surface, it was actually looked down upon by everyone.
After watching the sun go down, Li Zhi ordered the team to return to the camp.
By now, his interest had almost dissipated.
The only thing that made him feel novel was probably the prince's weird way of roasting sheep.
The lamb is fat but not greasy, and the skin is crispy but not burnt. It's really good.
As the team returned to the camp, the dinner was held again.
But what is different from the first day is that the campfire dinner now has become more distinct.
The party that hunts more prey is naturally qualified to have a carnival, while the party that has been crushed is as quiet as a ghost.
Regardless of whether they are the lively ones or the quiet ones, they all have one thing in common.
That means thieves can drink!
However, the emperor and his son, who were aloof, did not drink like they did yesterday.
When the civil servants had all left and the generals were almost drunk, Li Zhi got on the chariot, and Li Xian left the camp with him.
It's still the same cave, but the difference from yesterday is that there is an extra wooden shelf.
Trapped on a wooden shelf just like Wang Fei, the one who was beaten with bruises all over his body was a monk.
Just by looking at his bald head, you can tell who he is.
It can only be Huineng from the Great Ci'en Temple.
When they reached the corner of the cave, Li Zhi ordered the eunuch carrying the chariot to stop, pointed inside and said to Li Xian: "Go, I have a connection with Da Ci'en Temple, it is inappropriate to come forward, and you were assassinated. At this point, no matter what you do, no one in the world will blame you."
Seeing that Li Zhi chose not to show up today, Li Xian didn't say much and slowly walked into the cave.
Under the light of the torch, the red blood stains on Monk Huineng's robe were not clear. When you get closer, you can see that his monk's robe is in tatters, and it seems like clods of dirt will fall off if he shakes it.
Jiang Hao was still in charge here. When he saw the prince coming, he came over and said, "Your Highness, this monk has never said a word since he was arrested by Qianniu Guards. Even if he is punished, his face does not change and he always smiles. The slave's self-created punishment was also used, but he seemed to have no feelings, it was really weird."
"Um?"
After listening to Jiang Hao's words, Li Xian couldn't help but walk up to Huineng and take a look.
There was nothing wrong with the whip marks, and judging from the shape of the wounds, it was obvious that something had been added to the torture whip.
Under such circumstances, the monk didn't even bark, which was obviously more trouble than Wang Fei.
but....
Taking a look at the monk's bare feet and his foot calluses that almost turned into stone, Li Xian thought for a while and asked: "Are you an ascetic? Do you believe in God Vishnu or God Shiva?" "
Hearing Li Xian's voice, Huineng showed an uncharacteristically surprised expression, and then replied: "The poor monk believes in Vishnu Bodhisattva. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands Buddhism so well, which really surprises the poor monk."
Hearing this answer, Li Xian smiled dismissively.
Obviously, this guy was not influenced by Tianzhu, but probably by some one-sided Buddhist scriptures.
Ascetics are not exclusive to Buddhism. On the contrary, there are more ascetics in Hinduism.
God Vishnu is actually a Hindu god, not a Bodhisattva.
The consequences of Xuanzang's journey to the west were that although he recorded a lot of things, later generations obviously changed some things based on his records. The ascetic way of practice has become Buddhist, which is really ridiculous.
