February 25, Yin.

Xuanzheng Hall of the Daming Palace in Chang'an.

"I really don't want any face!"

The emperor glared at the ministers below: "The memorials were made in a very good manner, and they were better than anything else! When the medicine was eliminated by insects, they were determined to win thousands of miles away. The evil spirits were repelled, and the ghosts were killed..."

He took a deep breath and stood up from the throne.

""Ten Miles Kill", killing locusts that have been dozens of miles away, indeed, it is effective in the two states of Shannan Road. Then? Then throw it to the front line, the locust swarm will not be affected at all! It has no effect!"

The emperor said coldly: "It's hard for me not to believe that this is the invitation of Zhang Xiancheng, the governor of Shannan West Road."

"Let's talk about the red-billed birds in "Wanbei Cave".

"It's good this time. At the beginning, the locust swarm was eaten a lot, but what about the back?" The prince smiled angrily: "Thousands of red-mouthed birds were eaten by the locust swarm!"

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples: "The Imperial Medical Department is the most dedicated and hardworking. "Insects and Evils" take the longest time and the best effect. It does provide time for many people to transfer, but now the effect is getting worse and worse..."

"On weekdays, one by one chats and laughs in the court, as if the things in the world are just at your fingertips. It is like writing a lyrics after cutting off water and opening up mountains."

"I really encountered natural disasters, and they were silent again. I wish I could stay out of the matter and pretended to be sick at home. I was too lazy to mention it again!"

The emperor looked down on the silent ministers and raised the latest front-line battle report in his hand: "Is this the virtuous minister, a strange man, and a guardian of the Three Sects that I have trained for many years in the Tang Dynasty!"

He threw the memorial to the ground.

Many ministers below drooped their eyes and did not dare to look at them.

"Right Prime Minister."

The emperor looked at the first person in the right.

"His Majesty."

Du Ruhui answered.

"You are the General of the Central Army of the Jianyouwei, have you sent Xuan Tie to Gezao Mountain?"

"Report to Your Majesty, from the first day of January to the present, the Jianyouwei has issued six proclamations to Gezaoshan."

“What’s the result?”

The emperor looked at the right-hand man coldly.

Du Ruhui said calmly: "Gezaoshan said that it was the same sect as Longhushan, and it has been delaying its arrival in Beijing. It claims that the process is complicated, and there is a shortage of various materials in Gezaoshan, so I don't know when it will be made. It also said that "Getting the Immortal Bridge" is related to the lifeblood of Gezaoshan's elixir, and the Jianyouwei will not let the inside observe and participate in various insect medicine matters."

“Okay, very good.”

The emperor nodded: "What a man who listened to the edict but not the proclamation."

"In the face of the great disaster, as one of the three religions, five paths and seven temples, he ignores the lives and death of the people, has lost his moral character, has small rules but no great righteousness."

"From now on, the title of "Tang Dynasty Protector" in Gezao Mountain will be banned, and the mountain will be closed for one year, and the monks of Gezao Mountain will be prohibited from going down the mountain to show punishment."

Du Ruhui bowed and said, "Respect the Emperor's Order."

The civil and military officials below all looked surprised and their eyes were intertwined.

This punishment is not serious, but it is of great significance.

From today on, the Tang Dynasty court will no longer recognize the top position of the sect of Gezaoshan in the Three Sects. It is obvious that Gezaoshan will be subject to verification by Jianyouwei in various places... This is for other sects of the Three Sects to see.

Even if there are five roads and seven temples, they still have to be obedient in front of the royal power of the Tang Dynasty.

"At the same time, the "Datang Medical Bureau" under the Imperial Medical Administration has officially opened to the public, opening clinics in various fields to sell elixirs. All fields, the Governor's Office, and the prefectures need to actively cooperate."

The emperor said: "The guards from the side help, and be sure to ensure that the price of elixirs is balanced."

"yes."

Right Prime Minister Du Ruhui received the order.

Only then did the officials in the hall realize that this was the last move.

Among the five paths, Gezaoshan Baicao Garden and Maoshan Yuanfu Palace are two specialized sects.

Maoshan specializes in making magical instruments and talismans, and the targets of selling are still monks. They stay in the world of cultivation, which is quite a rule.

This is not the case with Gezao Mountain. Its pharmaceutical business is spread throughout the world. Because the elixir is hard currency, it not only has close interests with the Five Dao and Seven Temples and many second- and third-rate sects, but also has united with many powerful officials in the court.

In the eyes of monks, Buddhism looks at White Horse Temple and Taoism worships Longhu Mountain, but these two are not threatening to the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, Gezaoshan, on the one hand, firmly grasps the power of the world, and on the other hand, relies on the deterrence of practitioners. It has continuously penetrated various places, accumulated wealth and money for many years, and strengthened its connections. Now it has become a huge force that cannot be lost, integrating the powerful, merchants, practitioners and even clans from all over the country.

It was okay during the peace period, so Gezaoshan rushed to make money and won over the five roads and seven temples.

But once the world is wrong, they may become the force behind the influence of the overall secular situation.

This is something that the court cannot tolerate.

At present, Gezao Mountain has been comfortable for too long, and I would never have thought that the emperor would dare to attack in the moment of the locust crisis.

After a year of closing the mountain, Gezao Mountain will not dare to join forces with external secular forces again.

At the same time, the "Datang Medical Bureau" took over the vacancy in Gezaoshan and officially took over the supply of elixirs among the people in the hands of the court.

After placing the order lightly, the emperor said again: "The Painting Saint Mr. Wu has arrived at the place where the locusts are raging. In a short period of time, the locusts cannot spread. Please actively seek countermeasures to resolve the crisis as soon as possible."

Everyone was in an uproar.

No wonder Your Majesty is so decisive. It turns out that the Painting Saint is really back!

...

Gezao Mountain, connects to Xianqiao.

This place is different from what the outside world thinks. Connecting the Immortal Bridge is not a de facto bridge, but a connecting sky rainbow bridge based on many combinations of magical instruments and supplemented by talismans.

Above the rainbow bridge is a magnificent palace in the clouds.

The palace is called "Wanshou Yimen", which is a magic weapon on the ground stairs and is also one of the symbols of Gezao Mountain.

At this time, there were fierce arguments in the hall.

Deputy head Lu Jishu looked ugly: "I said before that we should not rely too much on Longhu Mountain, as this strategy is difficult to be effective. Gezao Mountain must maintain neutrality, and this is the foundation of our sect!"

"This locust disaster should have been a great opportunity for the sect to rebuild relations with the Tang Dynasty court and reduce suspicion, but it is now lost in vain! Instead, it was pressured by the Tang Dynasty court to block the mountain. This is something that the sect cannot accept!"

He looked at the person opposite: "President Luo, you need to have an explanation to the sect!"

Standing opposite, Luo Xiansheng, another deputy head of Gezao Mountain.

He tied a pure scarf, dressed in a light blue Taoist robe, two beards, and his face was properly maintained, but he looked a bit obese because of his big belly.

"President Lu, I was not alone in making the decision on how to deal with the prose of the Tang Dynasty's imperial court."

Luo Xiansheng said without rushingly: "You and I have just expressed a series of opinions from different angles to let everyone understand what different results will be obtained. Gezaoshan's decision is the result of all of us votes."

Lu Jishu was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he couldn't have an attack.

What Luo Xiansheng said is indeed true.

Although there are also leaders in Gezao Mountain, they all use the method of voting for major sects when they involve major sects. That is, the leaders, two deputy leaders, three saints, nine guardians, and a total of 15 people make decisions.

After making a basic decision, the head teacher will measure the standards and make specific arrangements.

This is not the case in fact.

In the early years, Gezao Mountain divided the internal and external affairs, and internal affairs were handled by the sect leader Ge family, and many external affairs were coordinated by the Lu family.

However, the two families later became increasingly different, so the Ge family led the Ge family to change the jurisdiction system of Gezaoshan, incorporate more member decisions, and further dilute the power of the Lu family, resulting in the Lu family gradually losing power.

For the sect, this is a foolish move.

But for the Ge family, it is necessary to settle the internal affairs first and then resist foreign affairs. Gezao Mountain will not fall, but if the Lu family cannot be dealt with, the Ge family will be at risk of being seized.

It seems that everyone decides together, but it is still a game between the Lu family and the Ge family, but the Lu family is no longer as good as before.

Luo Xiansheng in front of him seemed neutral, but in fact he was the soundtrack of the head teacher.

"Since Master Luo deliberately indifferent to the court, he must have a solution and I hope to hear it out." Lu Jishu calmed down and asked again.

"Since Master Lu asked about it, I will take this opportunity to talk about it."

Luo Xiansheng touched his beard twice, with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Watching the snake and hitting Qicha, the entanglement between the court and Gezao Mountain is complicated. Even if there is no such thing, he will find an opportunity to deal with the sect. This time he was actually showing weakness and was for the Five Dao and Seven Temples to show them to the same as them."

"Then, when the court faces the locust disaster for a long time and is extremely embarrassed, we will offer special insect-removing medicines, regardless of the infamy and injustice, and the court has to appreciate it. Moreover, because the people are grateful, the three religions pay attention to it, and to promote the momentum and create public opinion, the court cannot take action against Gezaoshan within a few years."

Lu Jishu felt a stern: "Have you made an insecticide?"

"Luo is not talented, and he has figured out some tricks under the guidance of the head teacher."

Luo Xiansheng smiled slightly reserved: "This medicine is called "Sleeping in the Insect" and can make the locusts fall asleep for a long time. The rest can be solved by ordinary children."

Lu Jishu questioned: "Locusts are constantly alienating and are infected by the Netherworld energy. There is a ghost behind it. A kind of medicine cannot handle the ever-changing locust plague."

"President Lu is right."

Luo Xiansheng smiled mysteriously: "But my medicine can be constantly alienated. It is not a dead thing."

Lu Jishu's pupils shrank suddenly: "The Demon... You want to use the Demon to deal with the Locust swarm..."

"Only monsters can deal with monsters." Luo Xiansheng said lightly.

...

In the Floating Cloud Temple, Wu Qi sneezes several times in a row.

What's the situation?

"Junior brother, junior brother, the medicine has been made, it has been made!" Dai Yi's happy voice came from afar.
