Chapter 175 Attacking Goguryeo, wealth and life 【Please subscribe for monthly ticket】

Although Xiao Yu is a great Confucian of his generation, he is also a master of Buddhism.

but.

Su Chen still looked down on him.

Because Xiao Yu is not as great as he appears on the surface.

Xiao Yu complained that Li Shimin was not as well-founded as Wei Zheng. Many of them were old ideas that he thought were old ideas, not to mention serving the country and the people, but purely for the ideas he believed in.

He thought he was right. For example, he believed in Buddhism and Confucianism, and he was very resistant to Li Shimin's Taoism, and wrote several times to criticize him.

He was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's emphasis on poetry and Fu in the imperial examination, and felt that he should take more Confucianism and Buddhism.

Because of his bad temper and self-righteousness, his official career has been ups and downs, but Li Shimin commented on him as "the wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister".

It is also a recognition of him.

Su Chen said: "How can I convince you?"

Xiao Yu said: "People in the world say that you are an immortal, but I don't believe it. Immortals are good people, but you are so harsh on Buddhism, you are not a true immortal."

After some evaluation, he said again: "I don't bully you. If you can really solve the lottery for others, then the old man will ask you a lottery to see if you can solve it. If you can solve it, I will donate all my family property. Even if you end up on the street, it has nothing to do with you."

Su Chen's expression was weird, he had seen a tough guy, but never seen such a tough guy!
"I thank you for your donation on behalf of the people of Datang! Okay, what do you want to ask?!"

Xiao Yu continued: "The old man wants to ask, what is the good or bad news of His Majesty's order to attack Goguryeo today?"

Su Chen said: "Don't you ask yourself, ask the Tang Dynasty's national policy?!"

Xiao Yu said: "The old man is a stinky skin. He has lived long enough, and he can't die. He has everything he wants, and it's useless to ask what he can't get. What's there to ask?!"

Su Chen was taken aback.

He actually underestimated Xiao Yu, as expected, there was no one who could become a hero of Lingyan Pavilion.

With this heart and attitude, Xiao Yu surpassed many people.

Anyway, Su Chen had never seen it before, and there were a few people who could be this free and easy.

but.

It doesn't prevent him from teaching this old guy a lesson, because he feels that Xiao Yu definitely didn't come here for personal reasons, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say such free and easy words.

That being the case, it must be for Buddhism.

Xiao Yu firmly believes in Buddhism, but Su Chen has been very stiff with Buddhism recently.

The one who can make Xiao Yu come here must be a Buddhist great virtue.

Su Chen thought about cheating Xiao Yu, and also cheating Buddhism once.

He thinks that he does not interfere with Buddhism, even if the Eight Immortals misunderstood him, he tried his best to explain it.

but.

Fomen seems to really hold on to him.

That Su Chen is not polite anymore.

Xiao Yu said: "How about it, can you figure it out?"

Su Chen said: "It's a small matter, you draw lots first."

Then handed over the bamboo tube.

Xiao Yu took it over, but didn't have any doubts. Instead, he put it on his forehead very piously, muttering something in his mouth.

Even if ordinary people are so close, they may not be able to hear what Xiao Yu is reading.

but.

Su Chen had good ears, so he could hear clearly.

"The sage of Confucianism and Taoism, Sakyamuni, the ancestors clearly stated, the believer Xiao Yu, ask the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo."

Swish swish.

pat.

A bamboo stick fell, Xiao Yu picked it up and looked, his eyes were straight.

He was stunned for a long time, but did not come back to his senses.

"Under the sign, how could it be under the sign?"

"My Tang army is in full swing, with strong soldiers and strong horses. I have enough soldiers and food, and I have the right time and place. How can I not win Goguryeo?!"

Xiao Yu was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Su Chen's expression was flat, and this old guy was also funny. He came to the Taoist temple and asked the Buddha and Confucian saints to bless him.

Moreover, Xiao Yu's ancestor is said to be an old minister of the former Sui Dynasty, can he bless the Tang Dynasty? !

Unexpectedly.

After Xiao Yu was dazed, he laughed loudly, and said: "The lottery is really a lottery, His Majesty believes in you so much, if you tell me that this attack on Goguryeo is a lottery, he probably can give up! "

Su Chen was taken aback, for a moment, he didn't understand whether Xiao Yu was eager to see the lottery or not!

Seeing Su Chen's puzzled expression, Xiao Yu said, "Shoulders to Shoulder King, the old man has lost his composure, but to be honest, the old man's mood is very complicated when he gets the lottery."

"The next visa proves that your Majesty's attack on Goguryeo this time is likely to fail, and what will be lost is my Tang's national power and prestige. I am naturally not happy to see this scene."

"However, if the signing of the lottery can make His Majesty give up attacking Goguryeo, it seems good."

Su Chen said: "So, you don't support the attack on Goguryeo."

Xiao Yu said: "Of course, the Tang Dynasty has finally accumulated a little national strength, so we should work hard to develop people's livelihood, build schools, promote Confucianism, build temples, and cultivate faith."

"Your Majesty fights and kills all day long. He is very happy. In the end, it will damage the interests of ordinary people. Moreover, Goguryeo is adjacent to our Tang Dynasty. If we attack, what will the world think of our Tang Dynasty?!"

Su Chen had a strange expression on his face, this old man is very selfish!
Moreover, looking at the matter is really one-sided, and it is completely based on one's own thinking, one mouthful for the interests of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, it does not specifically seek the welfare of the Tang Dynasty and the people.

He is more of an advocate of his own beliefs.

For this reason, he was selfish.

People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, but if they say it is for the people of the world for themselves, that would be hypocrisy!

It's no wonder that Li Shimin doesn't think highly of him, and it's no wonder that he is also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion, so he is not welcomed by Li Shimin.

Su Chen said: "Grandfather, do you hope that this signing will come true?!"

Xiao Yu was confused.

If he wanted it, it would prove that he had selfish intentions and was disloyal to Datang.

If you don't want it, then prove in reverse that he approved of Su Chen's signing, then he will lose.

All the property was given to Su Chen.

All of a sudden, he was caught in a dilemma.

Su Chen said: "Grandpa, I think you don't want this signing to come true, but you also recognize the strength of Pindao more or less."

Xiao Yu was silent.

How could he disapprove of Su Chen? In fact, he went up the mountain this time, seemingly unruly, but actually came with the attitude of killing one's life to become benevolent.

He knew how powerful Su Chen was, and he also thought that Su Chen might be a living god, or else he was an expert who was about to become a fairy.

It's just that he doesn't approve of Su Chen's suppression of Buddhism.

Therefore, he wanted to find fault, he wanted to let Su Chen know that Buddhism is so powerful, even if he is an old bone, he is not easy to deal with!
Su Chen has a seven-orifice exquisite heart, where he can't see Xiao Yu's attitude, he knows that this old man still approves of his strength.

It's just that he has a cheap mouth and wants to stand out for Buddhism, but he was taken advantage of by others, so he came here to find fault.

but.

Come, don't even think about going back easily.

Since Buddhism uses Xiao Yu, so should he.

Anyway, this old man is a stinky ball. If Buddhism can play, he, Su Chen, can't? !

Su Chen said: "Looking at your attitude, Pindao knows that you recognize Pindao's strength, at least the ability to ask for a lottery. Then, do you approve of Pindao's ability to solve lottery?!"

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, but stopped talking.

Su Chen said: "If Pindao can resolve this lottery and make Tang Dynasty's attack on Goguryeo turn the corner into peace, then do you think you are wrong and Pindao is right?!"

Xiao Yu said: "Yes."

Su Chen said: "It's not enough, you have to pay the price."

Xiao Yu said: "What do you want? The old man's family property is given to you!"

When he said that, it was tantamount to admitting that he lost to Su Chen!
Su Chen hehe said: "However, you haven't lost to me. If I resolve the contract, from now on, you will abandon Buddhism and practice Taoism, and write a letter to impeach Buddhism when you go back. How to find fault is up to you. If I can't resolve it, you Just take back all the family property, and I will give you a pill that can increase your lifespan by three years!"

The former is nothing, but the latter sentence directly made Xiao Yu's eyes straight.

The elixir that can increase lifespan is definitely a elixir, who doesn't love it? !

Xiao Yu fully agreed, but regretted it a bit, because he recognized Su Chen's strength, and it was rumored that Su Chen had never failed to undo the lottery!

He's a bit of a giveaway!

but.

The words have already been spoken, and Xiao Yu also feels that the attack on Goguryeo has no chance of winning, and it is basically impossible to resolve it by signing a lottery!
He said very well before that he thought it was okay for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo, but in fact he wrote a letter to condemn this behavior in the court, and he also opposed this national policy.

For good reason, but failed.

He felt that it would be very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to attack Goguryeo this time.

In particular, he got some news from the Buddhist masters that now the tenth year of Zhenguan starts spring, there will be a late spring cold, and the Mobei area is extremely cold.

Lost time, Datang wants to win, the possibility is not great!
Therefore, he did not go back on his word, and even admitted it again.

"Okay, the old man will bet with the side-by-shoulder king, and please don't let the side-by-side king lose when the time comes."

Su Chen said: "Hehe, don't worry, I can't lose."

"Bring the next sign!"

He took the lottery into his hand, and suddenly there was a fog in front of his eyes, and pictures appeared one after another.
