Chapter 190 Holy Venerable Great Glory Celestial Maiden
While Tan Yaoyu was still sighing for Hua Mulan's fate, Tuoba Tao's reward for her had already arrived at the post house.

Due to Yao Yu's status, Tuoba Tao deliberately allowed Yao Yu not to kneel down to accept the order.

The servant who came to pass the decree saw that Yao Yu was standing straighter than him, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while.Directly said "kneeling to listen to the order" and split it into "kneeling...won't you kneel?"

Yao Yu glared at the edict's servant, "Why is it expensive or not? How does this palace know whether it is expensive or not. You still need money to buy this imperial decree?"

The waiter didn't know why Yao Yu said such a sentence, and the waiter didn't dare to ask, so he could only bite the bullet and finish reading the imperial edict.

Feng Tanshi invites rain, and the saint honors the goddess of glory.Bit than the county head.

This is the first time that the Wei Dynasty rewarded a shaman, and even the high priest in the palace did not have any title.The head of Weibi County raised Yaoyu's status to the level of a clan girl.

This award was actually thought up by Tuoba Tao after several days of pondering.Neither was it too low to make Yao Yu feel that Tuoba Tao underestimated her, nor was it too high to cause dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

Then, to get to the bottom of it, prepare for Tuoba Tao to marry Yaoyu.

But when the servant came back from delivering the decree, he had a deflated expression on his face.

"What do you think the goddess asked you?" Tuoba Tao squinted his eyes and asked with difficulty distinguishing between emotions and anger.

The little servant wanted to slap himself at this moment.He competed with others for this job, thinking that the heavenly girl was rewarded, so it would be good to reward him with anything.Unexpectedly, this goddess didn't even give him a smiling face.

The waiter replied in fear, "The goddess asked 'where is the horse'?"

Tuoba Tao squeezed the space between his eyebrows and asked again, "What else?"

"Also..." the voice of the little maid became smaller and smaller, "the goddess said, 'She won't thank you if you don't have a horse'."

After the little servant said this, he felt that his life was over.When have you ever seen someone receive a reward but not thank you?
I thought that I could not escape the punishment, but I didn't expect that Tuoba Tao just waved his hand to make the servant to step down.

At this moment, Zong Ai's heart blossomed with joy.Although Tan Yaoyu is bold, he rarely acts recklessly.I don't know what happened this time, but after returning to Pingcheng, I even dared to refute His Majesty's face.

Tuoba Tao thought for a while and ordered outside, "Go pass Cui Hao into the palace."

After about an hour, Cui Hao walked gracefully into the palace to meet him.

As soon as Tuoba Tao saw Cui Hao, he dismissed other people in the palace and asked, "Is there any new news about the marriage negotiation in the south?"

Cui Hao didn't expect Tuoba Tao to ask about this again so soon. You must know that this is the third time Tuoba Tao asked after they met Zi Rouran.

Cui Hao felt that this matter was really difficult, so he had to tell the truth, "Your Majesty, we have bribed several officials in the south, but they all said that this matter is not easy to handle. Liu Yilong, the emperor of Xinbinji in the Southern Song Dynasty, was very fond of Tan Daoji. I'm afraid I won't disobey him in this matter."

"As for the Tan family..." Cui Hao wondered, "You also know..."

Tuoba Tao raised his hand, "You don't need to talk about it. Of course, I know that this matter is difficult to handle, otherwise I wouldn't entrust it to you."

Tuobatao said depressed again, "Now it's not just the Southern Song Dynasty. There is also Qiuchi. They have sent envoys into the country three times, trying to bring back the heavenly girl. I sent people to stop it, but I didn't expect that Qiuchi's right minister I don’t know what method was used, but an envoy pretended to be a beggar and sneaked into the city, and directly complained to the goddess, so that the goddess is now angry with me.”

Cui Hao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Tuoba Tao to do this in order to keep Tan Yaoyu.It's just that this strict defense is a bit too much.No wonder he heard that Tan Yaoyu didn't thank her when she was awarded the title today.The original source is here...

Cui Hao was a little worried, His Majesty paid too much attention to this girl from the Tan family.In Cui Hao's view, it is absolutely impossible for Tan Daoji to take the initiative to marry his daughter into the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise how would he gain a foothold in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, he began to rectify the administration of officials after he ascended the throne. Obviously, he was a new emperor who wanted to work hard to govern.Trading peace in exchange for peace is probably not something the new emperor would do.

Part of the reason why Cui Hao was willing to let Liu Jie off against Tan Yaoyu this time was that Cui Hao also felt that Tuoba Tao was using too much affection for Tan Yaoyu.

If you want to become an emperor who will last forever, you are destined not to just circle around in the small world of love between children.The stupid kings of the absurd state affairs in history, without exception, were addicted to women's sex and pleasure.

This Tan Yaoyu may have some skills, but she is a woman after all, that is, she cannot enter the court as an official, let alone help the world and save the people.If Tuoba Tao was allowed to focus on Tan Yaoyu, it would undoubtedly be self-destructive.

Cui Hao thought about it for a moment, and felt that this might be a good opportunity, so he said, "Your Majesty, have you heard of the Tao of Heavenly Masters?"

Tuoba Tao thought for a while and said, "Is it the one on Songshan Mountain? It seems that I have heard it from the Queen Mother."

Cui Hao's face showed joy, "Your Majesty is well-informed and knowledgeable. It is indeed Songshan Taoism. The Heavenly Master Taoism is Songshan Taoist Kou Qianzhi who was ordered by the Supreme Lord to establish a religion. I have had several meetings with this Taoist priest Kou Qian Because of this, this person is well versed in legal codes and full of economics, he is indeed a great talent. If he can be brought back to the imperial court, it will be a great help to His Majesty."

"Taoism?" Tuoba Tao raised his eyebrows, "the royal family upholds Buddhism, why did you suddenly recommend a Taoist priest to me?"

Cui Hao said frankly, "Your Majesty, you know that in Pingcheng alone, there are thirteen Buddhist temples, large and small, and four of the land in the city are owned by temples. In each temple, there are as few as a few hundred monks, as many as thousands. .Once these monks are ordained, they will be exempted from corvee taxes and live on offerings from each household. Have you ever thought that if Buddhism continues to develop in the Wei Dynasty, after a few years, temples will abound and men will convert Buddhism, there are no more soldiers available in the country."

Cui Hao saw that Tuoba Tao frowned and thought deeply, and hurriedly said, "The Tao of Heavenly Masters founded by Kou Qianzhi advocates concurrently cultivating Confucianism, teaching life and people, assisting the country and supporting life. The teachings of this religion prohibit the practice of Taoism People say that officials set up titles, ants gather people, and destroy the land. Respect your husband, respect your father, and be loyal to the emperor. These precepts are the religion that can truly assist the emperor and educate the people."

Cui Hao's words are very straightforward.For an emperor, Buddhism or Taoism is just a name.Only those that can help the emperor, consolidate the royal family, and educate the people to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, are the religious sects that the emperor needs.

Tuoba Tao thought for a long time, and finally said, "You send someone to Mount Song, and invite this Daoist Kou Qian into the palace, I want to meet him."

Cui Hao was overjoyed, "Here, I will do it now."

As soon as Cui Hao was about to resign, Tuoba Tao added another sentence, "The matter of discussing relatives still needs to be stepped up. If these officials from the Southern Dynasty can't do it, then go and recruit new ones. After all, we can find someone who can do things."

Cui Hao's joy just now was immediately diluted, and he bowed his head again to take orders, "Here."
