This Arhat who came from the Western Regions was mainly here for negotiation.

The Arhat who came was named Fudo Dharma An Arhat, and he was a disciple of the Great Samadhi Fudo Bodhisattva.

Sending such an Arhat has shown the sincerity of negotiations in the Western Regions.

After handing over his credentials, the Immovable Law An Arhat also met representatives of the Wu Dynasty at the inn.

The representatives of the Wu Dynasty were headed by Lin Dunxin, assisted by Wang Lin and Lu Gao.

Lin Dunxin looked at the Fudo Fa'an Arhat across from him and felt very calm.

Everyone was sitting facing each other like this, and no one had the intention to speak first.

In negotiations, whoever speaks first will lose half the battle.

It is this method that the Fudo Dharma An Arhat cultivates, and he can keep his breath calm.

Lin Dun believed that it was because I had the advantage and there was no need to be anxious.

Lin Dunxin drank tea slowly. No one wanted to speak first, so just wait.

I sit like this for a whole day, and when the time comes,

Lin Dunxin put down his tea cup and left the inn with Wang Lin and others.

The four of them stared at each other like this for more than half a day, without anyone saying a word.

However, when masters compete with each other, they really don’t know anything without saying a word.

For example, Lin Dunxin is such a master.

When the three people came to the imperial study room to resume their duties, Wang Lin and Lu Gao really didn't know what to say.

But Lin Dunxin talked eloquently.

"Your Majesty, I think the Western Regions are here to seek peace this time."

The conversation changed and Lin Dunxin continued: "But Your Majesty, I feel that the requirements put forward by the Western Regions may be very harsh. Your Majesty must be prepared."

Wu Zhao nodded and ordered: "I understand, you three have worked hard today. You three should go back and rest first. You don't have to go tomorrow. When he wants to say something, you three can go."

"yes."

The three of them agreed and then exited the imperial study room.

After exiting the Imperial Study Room, Wang Lin and Lu Gao also surrounded Lin Dunxin.

"Prime Minister Lin, how did you know they were here to seek peace? How could you tell that their demands would be very harsh?" Wang Lin asked Lin Dunxin.

Lin Dunxin stopped and did not immediately answer Wang Lin's question. Instead, he asked: "If they don't come to sue for peace at this time, what do you think they can do? If we continue to fight, do we need to send someone?"

Wang Lin said unconvinced: "Perhaps they are also here to seek compensation for ceding territory and a temporary truce?"

Lin Dunxin looked at Wang Lin, smiled lightly and said: "The Western Regions will not make such a choice, they still think they are superior.

They still feel that despite the fact that they are now at a disadvantage, they have also lost two Bodhisattvas.

But if there was a real fight, they would still win.

Therefore, there is no possibility of ceding land and compensation, and they can only come to seek peace with us."

"Then how do you know that their conditions will be very harsh?" This time it was Lu Gao's turn to ask.

Lu Gao considers himself to be a seasoned official, and even if there is a gap between him and Lin Dunxin, the gap is not that big.

Everyone had been drinking tea for more than a long time. It was impossible for Lin Dunxin to see so much. He didn't see anything.

Lin Dunxin still did not answer directly directly, but first asked a question: "During the whole process, did you hear the Arhat chanting sutras?"

Lu Gao recalled carefully, and it seemed that the Arhat had not recited a single verse throughout the entire afternoon.

But he is here to negotiate. Isn't it normal not to recite sutras?

Lin Dunxin smiled slightly and said: "He came to negotiate, but he knew that he would not be able to say a word to us on the first day.

According to common sense, he was already prepared not to talk about anything on the first day.

Then he should keep chanting sutras.

But he didn’t recite a single verse from the scriptures, why do you think that’s the reason?”

This problem really stumped Wang Lin and Lu Gao.

The two people looked at each other, but didn't see the answer in each other's eyes.

Lin Dunxin did not continue to embarrass the two people, but directly revealed the answer: "Because his heart is not pure.

He was worried that chanting sutras would expose his true thoughts to us.

In this way we can make guesses.

If his request is very reasonable, then his heart should be so peaceful that there won't be any disturbance.

Now he is carefully trying to hide the slightest disturbance, which shows that he thinks their conditions are very harsh."

After explaining, Lin Dunxin looked at the two people and said, "You can let me go home now."

The two people silently moved out of the way and watched Lin Dunxin walking past them with his hands behind his back.

Wang Lin and Lu Gao looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"No wonder he can create his own political way. This ability is beyond what we can match." Wang Lin said with sincere emotion.

Lu Gao also lamented: "Although we are all officials in the same dynasty, when it comes to our cultivation and ability as officials, we are really much different from Lin Xiang.

No wonder His Majesty still favors Prime Minister Lin even though he knows that he is not completely on the side of Mr. Champion.

If this court is really left completely to those of us who are die-hard supporters of the Champion, it really may not be able to be so stable and peaceful."

Wang Lin also admitted this.

If this court has really become the home ground for those of them who are die-hard supporters of Ning Chen.

Then this imperial court might have collapsed long ago.

Lin Dunxin is indispensable to the fact that the court is able to maintain its current status.

Although Lin Dunxin did not completely side with Ning Chen, when it was time to reap benefits for Ning Chen, Lin Dunxin really ended up.

For example, the last court battle.

Without the presence of Lin Dunxin, the sea-fixing needle, the result might not have been so good.

Therefore, there is a reason why Lin Dunxin has always been reused by Wu Zhao.

At least in terms of cultivation as an official, no one in the entire court could compare to Lin Dunxin.
