The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 197
Although Zhao Dongting didn't take sacrifices to heaven and earth seriously, the ministers and Taoist priests such as Wu Wangzi were still extremely cautious.

They believe it.

Zhao Dongting strode up to the round altar of praying for heaven, stood in front of the incense burner, and bowed three times.

Wuwangzi, Wuyuanzi and others brought more than a dozen yellow-robed Taoist priests to the altar and stood behind the altar behind the incense burner.Wuwangzi is holding a mahogany sword, and Wuyuanzi and the others are also holding dharma tools, and when the auspicious time comes, they are ready to pray for blessings.

After a few minutes, there was suddenly a clear sound of bells and tripods coming from the main hall in front.

"rise!"

Wu Wangzi made a sword gesture, stepped on the seven stars around the altar, and began to mutter words.

The rest of the Taoist priests, who were either standing with dharma vessels or sitting on the ground, sang in unison.

On the altar, the flags were fluttered and roared.

Zhao Dongting looked at it with some admiration in his heart.This posture alone is not comparable to those of the later generations who try to sell dog meat.

After more than ten minutes like this, the Taoist priests finally rested.Wu Huazi is not young, but after tossing and tossing for so long, there is no sweat on his forehead, and his breathing is still stable, obviously his internal strength is not low.

He walked in front of Zhao Dongting and said, "Please, Your Majesty, please recite the French scriptures for offering sacrifices to heaven."

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and immediately a Taoist priest came forward with yellow silk in his hands.

Zhao Dongting picked up the yellow silk and satin, spread it out, and read it according to the text.At least these French words are not particularly difficult to pronounce, otherwise he might be ashamed.

Praying to the Temple of Heaven, the officials and generals all knelt down on the ground.

There are nearly a thousand words eloquently, and when I finish reading, I don't know if the knees of the civil servants and generals below are hurting, anyway, Zhao Dongting's mouth is a little dry.

Fortunately, the procedure of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is not particularly complicated, and after the recitation is finished, there is nothing more to do with him.

All the Taoist priests sang Sanskrit for more than ten minutes, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth was considered over.

Wu Wangzi handed the peach-wood sword in his hand to the little Taoist priest, and went to Zhao Dongting, "The emperor, please rest in the wing."

After Zhao Dongting nodded, he personally led the way.

Hundreds of officials and maids and eunuchs followed, Zhao Da and Zhao Hu led the flying dragon soldiers to wait at the front gate of Wuliang Temple.

In the wing room, a Taoist priest led Concubine Yang Shu, Lu Xiufu and others to drink tea in the wing room.Zhao Dongting took Jun Tianfang and Le Wuhui to the guest room where Wu Wangzi received guests, and Wu Yuanzi and other four real people naturally followed behind.

Zhao Dongting did his part and was invited to sit down at the main seat.

Smelling the faint sandalwood in the room, he really felt somewhat detached from the world.

When he came out of the wing room again, he had two more bottles of pills in his hand.

This elixir, however, was presented to Zhao Dongting by Wu Huazi as if he was a rare treasure.Say what it is called Quanzhen Dan.

There is Dragon and Tiger Pill in Longhu Mountain. This Quanzhen Pill seems to be the name of the alchemy specially chosen by Taoists of Quanzhen Sect for alchemy, but if it can be confident that it is comparable to the world-famous Dragon and Tiger Pill, it is naturally no different. Where to go.Wu Wangzi said, it was their ancestor who opened the view, that is to say, his master preached meritorious deeds, that's why Quanzhen Ancestral Court Xianshan sent someone to send these two bottles of Quanzhen pills.

Leading the crowd down the mountain, Zhao Dongting asked Le Wuhui and Jun Tianfang next to him, "Seniors, is Quanzhen Pill really effective?"

Wu Wangzi said that this Quanzhen pill seemed to be able to life and death, flesh and bones, which really made him unbelievable.

Le Wuhui said: "The Quanzhen Pill comes from the Immortal Mountain, and it does have the effect of enhancing internal strength."

"Oh."

Zhao Dongting nodded, and casually handed two bottles of Quanzhen Dan to the eunuch behind him.

He still didn't have the guts to take it, not to mention that these two bottles of pills have been stored in Wuliangguan for more than ten years, and he doesn't know if they have deteriorated.

At the foot of the mountain, the crowd returned to Haikang County in a mighty manner.

As soon as he arrived outside the gate of Haikang County, Zhao Dongting ordered Liu Hongyi to bring all the nobles in Leizhou to the palace for an audience.

The assassination of Guidanggu really angered him.

At night, dozens of nobles in Leizhou were taken to the palace, and Liu Hongyi reported to Zhao Dongting in the bedroom.

Zhao Dongting didn't care about practicing room art, followed Liu Hongyi to the square in front of the palace, and saw dozens of Leizhou nobles being escorted by soldiers.

Before he could open his mouth, some nobles cried out, "Your Majesty, you have been wronged, you have been wronged..."

Zhang Guangyao, who was at the front, didn't speak.

"Your Majesty!"

All the soldiers were Liu Hongyi's own soldiers, and they were not polite. They beat the knees of these nobles with spears, causing them to cry out in pain and fall to their knees.

A cloud of smog.

Zhao Dongting almost laughed angrily, and said, "Wrong? Why did I wrong you?"

A noble said: "The assassination, the assassination has nothing to do with us!"

Zhao Dongting sneered, "You know the news quite quickly, how did you know that I asked you to come here for the purpose of assassination?"

Those nobles knew that they had made a slip of the tongue, and they were as silent as a cicada at once, and they dared not speak again.

As the night wind blew past, Zhao Dongting said again: "I don't understand. I just intend to restore the freedom of the untouchables in your family. How could you do such a rebellious thing?"

Another nobleman cried, "Your Majesty, I really don't care about my business!"

Zhao Dongting said: "It's none of your business, could it be that those assassins have nothing to do, so they come to assassinate me?"

As he said that, he waved his hands, feeling a little lost, "Not everything needs to be proved... General Liu, take them down! Cut them off."

"Yes!"

Liu Hongyi embraced the order.

This frightened the nobles so much that some even fell to the ground.

As the head of the Leizhou nobles, Zhang Guangyao did not speak from the beginning to the end, and he just sighed softly at this moment, "The fool hurt me..."

But he never thought that this sentence would save his life.

Surprise flashed in Zhao Dongting's eyes, and he pointed to Zhang Guangyao and said, "Leave him here."

Liu Hongyi nodded, and ordered the soldiers to escort all the other nobles out of the palace.

That night, none of the Leizhou nobles survived except Zhang Guangyao.Dozens of human heads fell to the ground, and the noble class in Leizhou completely collapsed.

Zhao Dongting looked at the handsome Zhang Guangyao, and said, "The assassination has nothing to do with you?"

Zhang Guangyao said: "Most of us have nothing to do with the assassination."

Zhao Dongting said: "But you know the news. If you don't report it on purpose, maybe you have the intention to sit back and enjoy the benefits?"

He never thought that all the nobles in Leizhou would assassinate him, and some of them who were timid would definitely not participate.But failing to report is also a death penalty.

Zhang Guangyao didn't say anything, it was his tacit consent.

Zhao Dongting asked again, "Do you know why I left your life alone?"

Zhang Guangyao sighed, "Block the mouths of the world."

"You're a smart guy."

Zhao Dongting looked up at the night sky, "Since this is the case, you should know what to say in the future, right?"

Zhang Guangyao said: "They conspired to assassinate, their crime is unforgivable."

"Ah."

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "If someone dares to make trouble, you should also know how to do it."

Liu Hongyi left with Zhang Guangyao.

Zhao Dongting looked at the night sky and suddenly realized that he had killed dozens of people without causing any waves in his heart.

This made him sigh again, it was very complicated.

After all, he was assimilated by this era.

Some of those nobles are indeed wronged, but killing them can prevent future troubles.Zhao Dongting also didn't want to spend too much effort on the interrogation.

The assassination was a great opportunity to eradicate the Leizhou nobles, and he was unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

The next day, notices were posted inside and outside Haikang County, stating the rebellion of the nobles.

This naturally caused an uproar in Haikang County, and then spread to the entire Leizhou and surrounding states.

Officials from the Ministry of Finance rushed to various places in Leizhou to seize all the properties of the beheaded nobles.

The only remaining aristocrat, Zhang Guangyao's home, was broken through, but he told everyone that those aristocrats did hire assassins to assassinate the emperor.And the emperor was able to wipe out all the assassins in Guidang Valley because of his report.

This naturally caused Zhang Guangyao to be hated by the children left behind by the nobles, but no one blamed Zhao Dongting for this.

They assassinated, and Zhao Dongting was the emperor, so beheading them was a matter of course.

The folks only condemned those nobles for their audacity and ignorance of loyalty.

Chen Jianghan, Minister of the Finance Department, laughed from ear to ear.

The seizure of the properties of those nobles made the national treasury recharged a lot in an instant.All the wealth they accumulated over the years fell into the national treasury.

This is even more than half of Leizhou's wealth.Not to mention those shops and other industries, just the real gold, silver, jewelry, etc., transported dozens of trucks to Haikang County.

Chen Jianghan personally stood guard at the gate of the treasury, his hands cramped when he adjusted the abacus, his eyes cramped from blinking, and his cheeks cramped from laughing.
