Chapter 832 Chapter 851: Luoshui Holy Stone
"Making it bigger?" Liu Xuanji asked puzzledly, "How to make it bigger?"

"Come here with your ear." Li Hao beckoned, Liu Xuanji obediently went forward with his ear, Li Hao whispered in his ear for a while, Liu Xuanji kept nodding while listening.

After Li Hao finished speaking, he asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"

"I fully understand." Liu Xuanji said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will let him do it as soon as possible."

"Don't take the initiative to look for him, wait until he comes to ask you for help." Li Hao smiled cheaply.

"Yes." Liu Xuanji nodded.

On the third day of August in the first year of Sisheng, Liu Xuanji set up a chessboard under the gazebo in the courtyard and played against himself. Li Hao asked him to do this, because Li Hao thought it was very pretentious, and many experts like to do it so strangely. For example, the head of a certain noble family did this before, and Changsun Wuji also did it, so he is now relying on the gourd.

Although Liu Xuanji thinks this is very strange, but when he thinks about it carefully, it is normal for a strange person to do something that ordinary people can't understand, otherwise how can he show a superior demeanor? Although his chess skills are only average, he himself Playing chess with myself is also very enjoyable.

Liu Xuanji was playing chess happily, Wu Chengsi came, and seeing Liu Xuanji playing chess against himself, he couldn't help laughing and sighing: "Mr. is really different from ordinary people, he can play chess against himself."

Liu Xuanji sighed with a long laugh when he heard the words: "To pass the time."

Wu Chengsi sat down opposite him, and said, "How about I play a game of chess with you?"

Hearing this, Liu Xuanji cried out in his heart: "What the hell, play chess with me, my chess skill is worse than dog shit, play chess with me?"

Thinking so in his heart, but he couldn't lose his demeanor, he smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, why don't you come to see the old man, you might as well speak up."

Wu Chengsi smiled awkwardly, and said: "Nothing can escape the master's eyes, I came to find the master, there is indeed something wrong."

"Let's talk." Liu Xuanji spread his hands.

Wu Chengsi said: "Last month, I asked the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne on the grounds of the vision of the white stone inscription, but the Empress Dowager refused. I don't know what other tricks you can use to persuade the Empress Dowager to ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as not to make me wait for 20 years. ah."

Liu Xuanji said indifferently: "Baishi's engraving of characters can also fool those ignorant common people. Even if people with insight can't see the clue, they can still guess that this is a man-made thing."

"Then what should I do?" Wu Chengsi showed anxiety on his face.

Liu Xuanji said: "Luoyang is prosperous, it just happens to be in the sun of Luoshui, it is located on the main road of transportation, extending in all directions, every autumn and winter, Luoshui is more than ten meters low, and sometimes there will be reefs exposed under the water."

Wu Chengsi was taken aback when he heard the words, then he seemed to think of something, and said pleasantly, "Mister, you want me to engrave words on these underwater reefs, so that I can see them after the water falls?"

Liu Xuanji couldn't help cursing in his heart: "You're really a pig's brain, wouldn't you find a big rock, engrave the characters first, and then throw them into the water? You can't figure out how to carve characters on the rocks at the bottom of the water. With just this head, you still want to be an emperor? Even dreaming is not qualified to be an emperor!"

Liu Xuanji coughed twice, and said, "My lord thinks it is possible for people to go underwater and carve words on the rocks?"

Wu Chengsi thought for a while when he heard the words, and then shook his head: "It seems unlikely. Although the current of Luoshui is not too fast, there is an undercurrent surging underneath. I am afraid that people will not be able to stand firmly at the bottom of the water."

"In that case." Liu Xuanji raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you find a huge stone and carve the words first, and then throw it into the Luoshui, as long as you measure the depth of the water, someone will find it when the Luoshui gets low in winter. "

"En." Wu Chengsi nodded upon hearing this, "This is indeed a much better idea than Baishi's idea of ​​engraving characters, and it is also easier for people to believe."

"It's not over yet, the focus is on the back." Liu Xuanji smiled slightly and said, "My lord, please come here with your ears."

Wu Chengsi leaned forward, Liu Xuanji whispered in his ear for a moment, Wu Chengsi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shouted excitedly: "Good idea! Great idea! It's really a good idea, Mr. Zhang Liang is indeed alive. !"

"No, no, no." Liu Xuanji waved his hands again and again, and said solemnly, "This is all your idea, my lord. All the credit is yours, and has nothing to do with the old man."

Wu Chengsi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that he was afraid of punishment from heaven, so he nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this is all my idea, and it has nothing to do with sir."

He was excited for a while, and then said: "Sir, I will take my leave first. It is autumn now, time is running out, I must act quickly."

"Go." Liu Xuanji waved his hand.

Wu Chengsixing left in a hurry.

In the first year of Sisheng, on the ninth day of October, the water level of Luoshui dropped significantly by more than two feet. The Luoshui in Luoyang section was not deep at all, and some huge reefs at the bottom of the water were exposed.

And this year, one of the huge reefs caused a sensation in Luoyang, because people found strange lines on this reef. These lines seem to be formed naturally, but if you look carefully, you will find that they look like words, and if they are recognized as words , it is "the empress appears, and the prosperous age is coming."

Immediately, people in Luoyang publicized this matter. Needless to say, these are the navy troops invited by Wu Chengsi to create momentum for Wu Meiniang. This time, Wu Chengsi has experience, so don't rush to dedicate this stone to Wu Meiniang , but asked the local government to salvage this "sacred stone" first, and put it at the entrance of the largest market in Luoyang, and sent troops to guard it day and night, so that all people could visit it. At the same time, he also sent people to make up a fairy tale , Said that this stone is a holy stone left by Nuwa to mend the sky, because it was used by the ancient god Nuwa, it already possesses spiritual power and can predict the future, the natural texture on the surface of the stone changes every 300 years, this time The holy stone was born, and there are strange lines on the surface, that is, the holy stone carries the destiny, and it heralds to people that a saint will come, and who is this saint, needless to say.

In just three days, this news has spread to the streets and alleys of Luoyang, and professional storytellers are divided into three chapters and six chapters in various teahouses and restaurants to say that these are all masterpieces of Wu Chengsi.

Enough to build momentum in Luoyang, Wu Chengsi asked the Luoyang government to transport the holy stone to Chang'an, but during the transportation, every place, even a small town, had to stay for a day or two to offer the holy stone to the local people During the visit, at the same time, people were sent to secretly publicize the myth of the Nuwa Lingshi, and the campaign was in full swing.

On the fourteenth day of the [-]th month, the holy stone set off from Luoyang, but it was not until the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month that the holy stone arrived in Chang'an, because it was too time-consuming to create momentum along the way.

Wu Meiniang had heard about the holy stone a long time ago, and she had been looking forward to seeing this Nuwa holy stone. To be honest, she also believed that she was destined by destiny.

This time, Wu Chengsi did not go to talk to Wu Meiniang secretly like last time, he pretended not to know anything, when the holy stone arrived at Taiji Palace, he, like all the officials, accepted Wu Meiniang's invitation , went to Tai Chi Palace to pay homage.

The holy stone was placed on the square in front of the Liangyi Hall, covered with a huge red carpet, and the appearance of the holy stone could not be seen, and the officials were discussing it, because the rumors outside had spread everywhere, they Also full of anxiety, this time, even the eldest grandson Wuji, who hadn't shown up for a long time, also came, which shows that this matter is no small matter.

Changsun Wuji stood there alone with frowning eyebrows. His former henchmen are now surrounded by Xu Jingzong and Wu Sansi. This scene is really embarrassing.

After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, Changsun Wuji is undoubtedly the group of people who have stood in the court for the longest time. Once he was granted the title of marquis and worshiped minister, ranked among the three princes, and was the leader of the court. His beard and hair were all white, no one cared about him long ago, a gust of cold wind blew up his snow-white beard, he could feel that Wu Meiniang was brewing a big conspiracy this time, and he had vaguely guessed what this conspiracy was.

Looking at the boulder covered by the red cloth, Changsun Wuji's dim old eyes shot out bursts of light. For some reason, his stooped back seemed to straighten a little. Changsun Wuji’s crime is unforgivable for the country, and now our Great Tang Dynasty is in danger, as long as Changsun Wuji has his breath, he can’t let the demon girl get involved in my Great Tang Dynasty.”

.....................................................................................................................

Luoyang is only more than 400 miles away from Nantuo Mountain. The rumors of the birth of the holy stone centered on Luoyang and spread everywhere.

Pei Miao went down the mountain to buy rice and went back to the Taoist temple. Li Zhi, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was practicing sword in the courtyard. When he saw Pei Miao coming back, he hurriedly retreated, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Senior brother Pei, you can come back. If you don't come back, my stomach will hurt." Almost starving."

"Has Master left the customs?" Pei Miao asked as she put down the rice bag.

"No." Li Zhi shook his head and urged, "Brother, let's cook."

"Don't be busy, let's have a cake." Pei Miao said and handed a piece of sesame cake to Li Zhi, and said, "I went down the mountain to buy rice today, and I heard something, you might be interested."

Li Zhi took a bite of the biscuit and asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Miao said indifferently: "Wu Meiniang may become the emperor."

With a "click", the biscuit in Li Zhi's hand fell to the ground, and Li Zhi stood there in shock, as if he had lost his soul.

Pei Miao squatted down, picked up the biscuits, and dusted off the dust.

"She...how could she be like this..." Li Zhi's voice trembled, "how could she be the emperor...is she crazy!"

"Junior brother, the thing is like this, a huge rock appeared in Luoshui in Luoyang..." Pei Miao told Li Zhi everything he had heard.

After all, Li Zhi is no longer the ignorant young man he used to be. With such a routine, he can see that Wu Meiniang is trying to build up momentum and wants to become emperor. Whatever destiny belongs to, it is all a lie. After all, he was also an emperor!

Seeing his flustered expression, Pei Miao persuaded him: "Junior brother, don't get excited, this may be a trick of Li junior brother."

"The poet's strategy? What kind of strategy?"

Pei Miao said: "Poet Kuang once said that he wanted to force Wu Meiniang to ascend the throne and usurp the throne, because only in this way can the people of the world turn against her."

"But now the common people believe these rumors and believe that she is the destiny!" Li Zhi shouted anxiously, "Even if the whole world turns against it, the world will definitely be in chaos!"

Pei Miao said: "Poet Kuang's plan is very complicated. He also wants to use this to draw out a rebel force that has been lurking in the dark. I am not very clear about the specific situation."

Li Zhi was silent when he heard the words, his face was uncertain. After a long time, Li Zhi suddenly said, "No, I have to go back. I can't let her be on the throne. It's the inheritance left by my father. I don't want it, but I can't let her go." This vicious woman took it away!"

"Huaikong! Stop!" With a clear shout, Li Zhi stopped immediately.Turning his head to look, he saw Daoist Zhiyuan wearing a moon white Taoist robe, walking out of the Sanqing Taoist Hall.

"Master..."
