Chapter 707: Done hastily
The news that Priest Li was killed was like a thunderbolt that shocked the people and caused an uproar.
But it was quiet up there.
One day later, the temple came forward to explain that Priest Li's immortal slough fell into pieces due to a fall from a high altitude. It was a pure accident.
The incident was over.
The collapse of the heavenly steps also showed that the Supreme God was unwilling to accept the coffin of Priest Li, so he had to bury it on the temple mountain.
The day after the funeral, the ceremonial guard of Priest Mei also left the city smoothly.
Jinghe's nine-year divine blessing tour also officially began at this time.
……
"If we weren't afraid of delaying the divine blessing tour and causing greater disaster, perhaps we should let the temple make a judgment. How could we let the funeral of Great Priest Li be so hasty?" A fifth-level priest shouted, in his words Revealing dissatisfaction.
He had a rough appearance and a thunderous voice. He seemed not to care that he was not in a temple, but in the Zichen Hall, and in front of the Holy Master.
Of course, the Holy One did not show up as usual, but was hidden behind the deep gauze curtain, with a bright yellow figure vaguely visible in the curls of green smoke.
The eldest princess sat on a rosewood chair, sipping tea elegantly, seemingly indifferent to all this.
On the other side, in a higher position, sat the high priest Lou, who was also the only high priest still in Chang'an.
She was fiddling with some dark silk ribbon in her hand, just waiting for the farce below to unfold.
"Priest Li was obviously killed, and the whole world knew it. How could Dali Temple close the case so hastily? Is this common sense?" Another fifth-level priest with a big belly also shouted.
An Yong, the minister of Dali Temple, answered with his hands raised: "The handling of this case is entirely based on the evidence provided by Jin Wuwei. According to the records in the file, Priest Li died from the backlash of his magic. Dali Temple cannot overturn this conclusion out of thin air."
This time the ball reached Jinwuwei's side.
General Han Xuan responded immediately: "The Jinwu Guards handled this case completely fairly. Except for the fact that many areas of the temple are not allowed to be investigated, everything that can be investigated has been investigated."
Speaking of this, several temple priests looked unnatural.
Han Xuan seemed unaware and continued: "There were no signs of infringement by outsiders, but some traces of evil energy were found... This may be related to the corpse pit in Temple Mountain..."
"Shut up!" The rough fifth-level priest suddenly shouted angrily, "How can you tarnish the posthumous name of Great Priest Li!"
The plump fifth-level priest even narrowed his eyes coldly and said in a long tone:
"Yes, who doesn't know that General Han's identity as a Jinwu Guard is just due to a certain nepotism. How good is his case handling ability... It still needs to be studied. I personally think that it should not be fully believed."
This sentence refers directly to the fact that everyone knows and that Han Xuan has never been able to escape - he has a powerful wife.
Although it is far away in the north, its power is even more respectful to the three great priests.
"No matter what, I am also General Jinwuwei. I am loyal to my duty and have a clear conscience." Han Xuan cupped his hands and spoke calmly.
"If you are really dedicated to your duties, why do you need to secretly rescue the blasphemer?" The old minister of Dali Temple suddenly asked hoarsely.
He also glanced back: "Lin Shaoqing, please tell me."
Lin Shaoqing, who had been silent all the time, took a step forward and said respectfully: "General Han, our Dali Temple was ordered by the temple to arrest those who blasphemed the gods, but General Han stopped them again and again, and even killed these blasphemers." People were imprisoned, but later they disappeared out of nowhere. What was the intention? ”
This question made everyone focus on Han Xuan.
From this point of view, the so-called death of Priest Li was just a gimmick, and the real matter to be argued about was this one.
General Han's eyes were slightly cold, and he seemed to know that this had happened, and said:
"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if someone is judged to have done something harmful to the country or a serious threat to the people, he should be exiled to the north and be responsible for strengthening the Great Wall. Now everything I do is in compliance with legal procedures. How come Dali Temple Minister and Shaoqing clearly should You are familiar with the Tang Code, but you don’t seem to know this principle? ”
After a pause, he slowly said: "Perhaps, there is an ulterior motive to keep these beings who are hidden dangers to Chang'an in the Dali Temple Prison... Could it be that they want to raise rogue soldiers in Chang'an? ”
This is heart-wrenching words.
Immediately, there was a low sound of inhalation, and the atmosphere in the hall solidified for a moment. An Yong immediately lowered his voice and said angrily: "Han Xuan, what can we plot? Isn't it all for the Tang Dynasty? Ahem..."
One sentence made the old man out of breath and almost fainted. Fortunately, Lin Shaoqing supported him and calmed down the stagnation in his chest, and he finally recovered.
In the silent gauze, a deep voice suddenly came out: "For the blasphemy, Dali Temple should still follow the procedure and exile it to the north. Putting it in Chang'an is not a good idea. If it breaks out, it will not be able to end."< br>
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell into silence.
Who would have thought that the Holy Lord, who had been silent and silent, would suddenly speak out?
Moreover, the Holy One continued: "Are you right, High Priest Lou? You are the only High Priest in the city now. If something happens, I'm afraid..."
Priest Lou seemed to have come to his senses. He put away the ink in his hand and said slowly and expressionlessly: "Your Majesty is quite right. An Qing, together with General Han, will transfer those blasphemers." , remember to divide them into batches, don’t cause any trouble.”
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Han Xuan who lowered his head and said nothing.
An Yong was still angry, her face flushed and her breathing was short.
Priest Lou stretched out his hand and flicked it, and a ray of divine light instantly penetrated into An Yong's body. He immediately regained his vitality, and even his aging body seemed to be a little younger, with his face glowing red.
He also heard what he said just now.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
There is no room for argument.
So he lowered his head and said "yes".
"Also, we were talking about Priest Li just now. Don't deviate from it."
The Holy Spirit's voice came out again, upright and powerful.
"Han Xuan, what do you think?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, my inference is very simple."
Han Xuan stepped out of the queue and bowed his hands, his back seemed to be supported by some kind of support this time, and he looked particularly upright.
"Just one sentence - given Priest Li's status and cultivation, who in Chang'an can attack him without being noticed?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Grand Priest Lou and quickly looked away.
Of course there was another one, but he had just left Chang'an.
So someone suggested: "Priest Mei just left, he shouldn't have gone far yet, why not..."
Priest Lou looked solemn: "This matter has passed, don't affect the Divine Blessing Tour. Next year is the important moment, let alone fail."
"Really, Your Majesty?" She looked deep into the veil and asked softly.
"Of course, what High Priest Lou said is exactly what I meant."
These words set the tone.
The Holy One also said: "As for the new high priest, we should first list the candidates, evaluate them for a period of time, and report them to the temple after a few years."
This is also a must.
Priest Lou had no objection: "This is natural."
The four fifth-level priests below all looked slightly moved, but Priest Yan just bowed his head and remained silent.
This morning the morning session ended.
And the news that Emperor Li Zhou seemed to intend to attend court affairs in person had just begun to fly out of the imperial city.
I want to speed up, but I feel that there are some things that need to be explained...
