Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 65 Smart people do the stupidest things

Although Wu Zetian did not mention what Yang Yanzhang planted, after meeting Yang Yanzhang, he directly issued an edict to borrow grain, which surprised many people.

"Could it be that Yang Yanzhang really has the ability to grow thousands of kilograms of grain per acre? If he really has this ability, he will be a living god. He will be regarded as a reborn parent by countless hungry people, and will be regarded as the true god of national protection by the emperor and the queen mother!"

Suo Yuanli naturally knew the impact of this, so he immediately got angry and thought about how to ruin this.

"Although I don't know how Yang Yanzhang can produce thousands of acres per mu, but how can such a thing happen under normal circumstances? This must be some kind of evil magic!"

Thinking of this, Suo Yuanli had an idea.

"Although Xue Huaiyi is dead, there are still many of his drunken and doggy friends in White Horse Temple! Without Xue Huaiyi, these people will have a hard time. Naturally, they hate Yang Yanzhang to the bone! If I ask them to help me, they will definitely destroy Yang Yanzhang. Good thing!"

So Suo Yuanli, who thought he was smart, immediately got up and went to the White Horse Temple outside the city.

The White Horse Temple in Luoyang was built under the leadership of Xue Huaiyi in the early years of Chui Gong. After its completion, Xue Huaiyi became the abbot of the temple. He also gathered a group of gangsters to be ordained and became monks. They usually relied on Wu Zetian's favor to do all kinds of evil and arrogantly.

In the past, Wu Zetian planned to use some man-made Buddhist "visions" to assist her in ascending to the throne.
But since Yang Yanzhang became an official, those low-end methods were decisively abandoned by Wu Zetian.

Guns, artillery, homing pigeons, as well as high-yielding potatoes and corn that have yet to see the results, these are real artifacts for the country, thousands of times more powerful than those mysterious "auspicious things". This is the confidence for her to ascend the throne.

The White Horse Temple lost this role, and with the death of Xue Huaiyi, Wu Zetian couldn't even remember that it still existed.

It is also because of this that the monks in the temple have not received any food and salary, and the people near and far do not come here to offer incense out of disgust. Therefore, the monks inside have lost their former splendor and are almost too poor to open the pot.

Now that I met Suo Yuanli and listened to Suo Yuanli's long speech, everyone suddenly became motivated.

"The reason why we are in this situation today is because of Yang Yanzhang! The Buddha said that there will be retribution. If he is alive, we will be unlucky. If he is dead, we will be comfortable! We will take over this matter!"

This group of fake monks brought some magical instruments and several clay-embodied Bodhisattvas, and came to Yang Yanzhang's field at night.

First, they put down the incense burner, set up the altar table, and placed the clay tires on it. Then they sat in a circle, beating wooden fish, chanting sutras, and cursing a few words from time to time.

"Amitabha……"

"Yang Yanzhang, the censor Zhongcheng, persecuted the Buddhist disciples. The disciples had no choice but to vow to punish this person!"

"I hereby swear an oath! If I can prevent Yang Yanzhang's land from growing crops, I will abstain from alcohol and sex. If I violate this oath, I will fall into Avici Hell after death!"

"Amitabha……"

Everyone prayed like this repeatedly for fear that it would not work, which shows that they also believed in this. Even Suo Yuanli sat cross-legged in a decent manner, chanted the Buddha's name, and cursed Yang Yanzhang viciously.

But while they were doing things here, a figure stood up from the darkness.

Under the cover of night, this man was not discovered, but listening to the prayers of these monks, this man could not help but shout angrily!
"Come here! Hold the lamp! Catch these monster monks for me! How dare you curse Yang Yushi in front of me, Li Duozuo, you are simply seeking death!"

In the darkness, a large circle of torches immediately lit up the field surrounding Yang Yanzhang, and the one closest to the group of monks was Li Duozuo, the general of the Youyu Lin Army.When the monks saw someone here, they felt guilty and wanted to run away. However, Li Duozuo's people came from all directions and overwhelmed these people.

"Haha? Isn't this Mr. Suo Yuanli Suo? Mr. Suo is so elegant that he comes here to chant sutras in the middle of the night?"

Li Duozuo laughed strangely.

After Suo Yuanli managed to calm down, he began to talk seriously: "The lower official learned that Yang Yushi worked hard every day for farming, so he brought the monks to pray, praying to God for good weather here and a good harvest at the end of the year!"

Li Duozuo burst out laughing: "Suo Yuanli, do you believe these nonsense you said?"

Suo Yuanli nodded seriously: "Xiaguan always speaks directly when he has something to say. Of course I believe what I say!"

"Shameless, bah!" Li Duozuo spat on Suo Yuanli's face at that time, "Come here! Tie them all up! Enter the palace immediately to see the Queen Mother!"

……

After a while, the originally dark Shangyang Palace was lit up with countless palace lanterns, and the sleeping dogs were barking irritably.

"Li Duozuo, you haven't slept in the middle of the night. What are you doing here?" Wu Zetian yawned one after another, feeling extremely sleepy and unhappy with Li Duozuo.

"The Queen Mother asked me to secretly help Yang Yanzhang keep an eye on his fields. Unexpectedly, something happened after the first day!"

"Oh? Is it about Yang Yanzhang? Please tell me in detail." Wu Zetian suddenly became energetic and sat upright to listen.

"It's like this. I was sleeping around in the fields with my people. I didn't want to wake up and hear a group of monks chanting sutras! I was so scared at the time that I thought it was haunted in the middle of the night. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word. Who knew that after listening for a while Later, I heard a clue. It turned out that a group of monks were cursing Yang Yushi so that no crops could grow in his fields!"

Wu Zetian was suddenly startled and lost all sleep: "Then did you interrupt them from casting spells?"

"I should interrupt. Anyway, I caught them all and none of them escaped!"

Wu Zetian looked angry at this time, put on his clothes and walked out: "Bring everyone here! I want to ask who gave them the courage to do this! Yang Yanzhang's fields are not growing crops. , that is the future of the empire! This time, I must redo it!"

Not long after, a dozen monks were brought in, and the leader made Wu Zetian almost stunned!

"Suo Yuanli! Why are you there? Don't tell me, you are following them to harm Yang Yanzhang!"

Suo Yuanli was extremely scared at this time.

If something like this is discovered, the consequences will be horrific!
Especially looking at Wu Zetian's expression, Suo Yuanli felt that he would probably have to answer here today.

In order to survive, he simply stopped denying the harm to others and began to blame the blame: "Queen Mother! I am so unjust! These monks said they would do something for Yang Yushi to help his crops grow better! Who would have thought they would arrive? After entering the place, he immediately started cursing over and over again, not wanting crops to grow in Yang Yushi's fields! I, I really died unjustly!"

"Are you still unjust?" Wu Zetian sneered again and again, "You, a government official, got involved with a group of monks and appeared there sneakily in the middle of the night. Are you still unjust? It seems that I will have to use some torture on you today. Only then can I tell you to be honest!"
