"Your Majesty, wait..."

"Please kill this monster monk!"

As soon as Wei Xiang finished speaking, several old ministers came together and said these words with beards and eyes wide open.

Sitting at the same table as Han and Liu, Liu Yuxi, who had a bad temper and a tough temper, was so angry that he almost jumped up, but Liu Zongyuan held him tightly.

Emperor Li Song's face darkened and he said coldly: "Wei Zhiyi, who is the demon monk you are talking about?"

"Whoever deceives Your Majesty into having such ridiculous thoughts is a demon monk who is doing something for the sake of our country, the country, and the country. I will never tolerate such a demon deceiving His Majesty!"

As the old man Wei Zhiyi spoke, his eyes gleamed fiercely as he stared at the monk who was still eating and drinking unscrupulously.

Needless to say, he had already determined that this pretty boy was the villain who deceived the Holy Spirit.

But unexpectedly, the monk seemed to feel his gaze, and suddenly raised his head from the table, showing his white teeth to him...

The old man felt a burst of black smoke coming out of his head, his chest rose and fell violently, and he added: "Your Majesty, I don't know who is next to you? How can I dare to sit with your Majesty? You are so ignorant of etiquette and wanton.

This person must be the monster who bewitched Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to kill this person!"

"shut up!"

The emperor slapped the case suddenly, making a banging sound.

He pointed at the old man and cursed fiercely: "Wei Zhiyi! The demon monk you call is my teacher. He is a demon monk. Who am I?"

Long Yan was furious, but the old man kept holding his neck: "I have no such intention! I am dedicated to serving the public, and I only ask your Majesty to kill this monster!"

"Bang!"

The emperor couldn't bear it anymore, raised his hand and smashed the wine bottle.

His hand was pretty accurate, so he wiped the old man's robe and smashed it to the ground.

"Let me tell you! Not only do I want to worship Master Tripitaka as my teacher, but I also want to make him my Tang Dynasty Imperial Master! No one can say more than a word!"

The emperor roared angrily.

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, naturally some people were frightened.

The Shence generals next to them all lowered their heads, looking at their noses, and their noses looking at their hearts, but they were secretly peeking out of the corners of their eyes, as if they were watching a good show.

How dare you provoke this devil, you really don't know how to live or die.

This old guy Wei usually has a bad temper, like a mad dog, biting anyone he catches, as if he is the only upright official.

He even bites his brother-in-law and his father-in-law. It can be said that strangers should not come near him.

Naturally, I was happy to see him embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing how things were developing, Liu Zongyuan seemed to be out of control and couldn't sit still any longer, so he quickly stood up.

"Xiang Wei is also worried about the country. It is inevitable that he would clash with His Majesty in a moment of impatience. He has no intention of offending Master Tripitaka..."

"Liu Zihou...!"

Wei Zhiyi stared, but Liu Zongyuan pulled his sleeve tightly, winked fiercely, and stopped him.

Liu Zongyuan continued: "It is naturally a good thing that Your Majesty has gained some understanding of Buddhism and Zen. However, establishing a prince and the Zen throne is a major matter for the country. If you are not careful, you may be afraid of turmoil in the world and the collapse of the country. How can you be so rash?"

"It is better to summon all the officials to the court. Your Majesty will first decide on the throne and seek out knowledgeable people to teach the way of governing the country. It will be a long time to come. It will be safe to postpone the discussion of the Zen throne until the prince has achieved success in his studies."

"Your Majesty, what Liu Langguan said is for the sake of the country. I beg your Majesty to think twice!"

After the emperor became furious, the ministers did not dare to force any demon monks to be killed, so they could only retreat and do the next best thing.

The emperor still looked indignant, and then as if he had to retreat due to the pressure of his ministers, he said with a sullen face: "Well, I have to escape from a big disaster today, and Liu Aiqing has done a good job in protecting me, so I will give Aiqing some face...

"

"Your Majesty's words are serious, but I dare not." Liu Zongyuan bowed and said.

"This is the merit you deserve, as well as General Fan, Han Aiqing, and Liu Aiqing. I will discuss your merits and reward them in court tomorrow."

"There is still something to do with the prince, so let it be settled. Wei Zhiyi, I will leave this matter to you, the Secretary of the Central Committee. Once the edict and etiquette are fulfilled, they must be completed within seven days."

"After seven days, the prince will supervise the country and I will no longer be in court."

"His Majesty!"

"I have made up my mind! No need to say more!"

The ministers were shocked, but before they could be persuaded again, the emperor had already waved his hand: "Please retreat, it is late at night, and the ministers did not want to have a banquet, so they went back to their homes to rest. There will be an early morning court tomorrow.

"

How can all the ministers be willing to just retreat?

However, Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu intervened to persuade him. They were well-known among literati. Now that the two kings were relegated to their homes, Wei Zhiyi and he were the most prestigious among the so-called "imperialists" in the court.

Those who knew the two of them were afraid that there was some ulterior reason behind their behavior, and because of the emperor's insistence, they had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.

As for the Shence generals, it was as if they had received a general pardon. They had already confessed their crimes and left in a hurry, as if there were some fierce beasts behind them.

After leaving the main hall, all the civil servants looked thoughtfully at the generals leaving in a hurry.

"Old General Fan, do you know what happened in the army?" The old man with tall cheekbones asked Fan Xichao who was walking with him.

Fan Xichao shook his head, and under his white eyebrows, his eyes showed some doubts: "My old friends in the army have been transferred away by the eunuchs either openly or covertly. These people are originally the confidants of the eunuchs. What happened tonight is really...

It’s weird, I’m also puzzled.”

The old man stroked his beard and said, "I think your Majesty is also acting strangely tonight. Could it really be related to that 'Master Tripitaka'?"

They are also rare knowledgeable people in the world. Everything about what happened tonight is weird, so naturally it is impossible not to notice it at all.

"snort!"

Wei Zhiyi had a dark face. The emperor's courtesy to the pretty-faced monk just now still made him very unhappy.

"Since ancient times, those who can be called Tripitaka are all great virtuous venerables who are proficient in all Tibetan scriptures, profound in Buddhist teachings, and wise. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only Master Xuanzang from the Taizong Dynasty has been able to hold this title, and only Huangkou

My little boy, how dare you claim to be proud and compare yourself to Tripitaka?"

"Your Majesty must have been seduced by this man's evil words. Tomorrow, I will play his song again!"

Liu Zongyuan and Han Yu looked at each other, knowing well this old temperament and knowing that it would be difficult to persuade them, so they shook their heads helplessly.

The emperor's behavior was too abrupt, and in their opinion, it must have deep meaning.

But if the emperor doesn't tell them, it won't be easy for them to expose it.

The group of courtiers gradually left the palace and dispersed.

In the main hall, only Chen Yi and the emperor were left, and even the palace maids had been dismissed, leaving them empty.

"It's just as the holy monk expected,"

The emperor didn't look as furious as before. He shook his head and sighed: "It's just that I'm afraid I might wrong the holy monk."

Chen Yi threw down a stick with gnawed bones, touched his already satisfied belly, and said with a smile: "Emperor, this young monk is not a man in the world of mortals. Such mundane things are not harmful."

It is true that Arhat descended to the earth and is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The emperor praised in his heart and did not hesitate to say: "The holy monk is indeed profound in Buddhism."

Chen Yi curled his lips and said: "Emperor, even though the military generals of the Shenzhen Dynasty asked the monks to use different skills, they are still heretics after all. The emperor should have made arrangements in advance to hold the military power in his hands. No matter who is there at that time.

If you are in position, it is difficult to create chaos."

The emperor nodded solemnly: "Yes, I know."

"In this case, the matter here is settled for the time being, and it's time for the young monk to leave..."

Before he finished speaking, the emperor was so shocked that he knocked over the cup on the table: "Ah! Why did the holy monk abandon me?!"

"..."

What are you anxious about?

Chen Yi rolled his eyelids: "Emperor, don't be anxious. The monk just has something important to do and will leave temporarily. However, there is one more thing. The monk wants to ask for something from Your Majesty..."

The emperor was relieved when he heard that he was not going to abandon him. As for what Chen Yi wanted to ask for, he was even willing to give up the throne, so what else could he not give up?

There is no need to hesitate: "As long as I have it, the holy monk will just take it."

"To be honest, the young monk has been feeling something in his heart recently and needs to find some quiet time to practice in seclusion."

Chen Yi smiled and said: "The young monk has traveled all over the world and heard that a pagoda is being built in Yongzhou. It is very grand. I want to ask your majesty for this pagoda. Is it possible?"

The emperor was surprised and said: "Yongzhou? If the holy monks want to meditate, why not stay in the capital? There are many pagodas and temples in Chang'an. You can choose according to the holy monks. As long as the holy monks are willing, I can also build a new place for the holy monks." , why go to that thousand miles away?"
