The little monk returns to the vulgar

Chapter 158
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Chai Xihui, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was playing with a white jade ruyi.His expression was focused, as if he wanted to see every pattern on the Ruyi clearly, but he didn't even bother to take a look at the courtiers who were arguing.

The founding emperor, who was more than 90 years old, looked as young as 40 years old, with a tall and straight figure and bright eyes, which did not match his actual age at all.

From the beginning of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chai Xihui didn't like to go to court in a serious manner, but pulled the important court officials to the imperial study room, where everyone sat and chatted, and handled government affairs in a relaxed manner.

It was not bad at the beginning, because the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone would speak freely. Although there were some quarrels, there were no major problems in the promulgation and operation of various decrees in the early days of the founding of the country.

After all, it was a time when everything was going to waste, the old nobles were cleaned up, and the extra land and various resources were enough to fill the appetites of everyone.

But as time went by, the feudal dynasty inevitably entered a vicious circle of land annexation.In addition, Chai Xihui later believed in Qiansu real person, and spent a lot of money to make alchemy for him, and the national treasury was even more stretched.

With no money, all kinds of conflicts began to appear.

In the current imperial study room, there is no relaxed atmosphere, every day for the tax money of three melons and two dates, there is a lot of quarrel every day.Water conservancy repairs require money, imperial examinations require money, disaster relief requires money, and quelling the endless banditry in various places also requires money... There is no place in this world where money is not spent.

But no matter how noisy the important court officials were, Chai Xihui still looked calm and calm, as if he hadn't been angry for many years.

It's the same today, Taishi Pang played one after another, saying that Yang Ye, the governor of Yunzhou, intends to rebel, and hopes that the emperor can order the entire Yang family to be arrested and brought to justice.Military officers such as Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly defended Yang Ye, and the two sides quarreled so much that they almost drew their swords.

In the end, Chai Xihui just knocked on the table, and said, "It's a matter of great importance to the border, and this matter will be discussed separately."

Taishi Pang knew the emperor very well, don't look at his smiling face, as long as he opens his mouth, he can't talk about this matter, otherwise it will definitely not end well.This is the ability of the founding king. It only takes one sentence to shut everyone up.

After arguing about Yang Ye, Chai Xihui turned his head to look at a certain minister in the imperial study, and asked, "Taiwei Gao, I heard that your adopted son died unexpectedly, please express my condolences."

Hearing Chai Xihui's roll call, the tall captain quickly stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, the dog fell into the water and drowned, maybe this is his fate, but it is his blessing to make His Majesty remember you. "

After hearing this, Chai Xihui narrowed his eyes and said to Gao Taiwei: "Oh, did he fall into the water by mistake? But I heard that he was murdered?"

When Gao Taiwei heard this, he quickly knelt down in front of Chai Xihui, put his head deep between his knees, and said in a trembling voice: "I am terrified, I don't know where your Majesty heard such rumors?"

"Hehe, Gao Taiwei, you don't have to worry about it. You were not in the capital a few days ago, so it's understandable that you didn't know the details of the matter. I'm sending people to investigate. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice." Chai Xihui said comfortingly .

But these words not only had no consoling effect, but made Gao Taiwei's face turn pale.

When his adopted son was photographed dead on the Qiandeng River, he was indeed not in the capital, but on the surface he asked for sick leave, and secretly left the capital in disguise.How did the emperor know that it was done flawlessly?
Gao Taiwei quietly glanced at Pang Taishi. The reason why he left was related to Pang Taishi's plan to get rid of Yang Ye.Taishi Pang sent someone to arrest Yang Ye, and he also knew that there would be chaos at the border, so Taiwei Gao, as the "civilian" in charge of military officials in the world, had to prepare someone to replace Yang Ye.

Leaving the capital quietly is to find the right person to discuss in secret. When Yang Ye's matter is settled, he will immediately send someone to take over everything in Yunzhou. He just returned to the capital yesterday, and there is no time to deal with the death of his godson.

Who would have thought that the emperor would find out about it.

What was even more unexpected was that Grand Master Pang didn't say a word at this time, as if he didn't know Taiwei Gao.

Taiwei Gao had no choice but to say tremblingly: "My lord, thank you for your grace."

Chai Xihui didn't intend to pursue it any further, he only clicked this sentence, and then changed the subject.

"I also heard that Gao Taiwei's son died in Qiandeng River, which was originally the Daoist Temple of Seven Emotions, why didn't we hear any news?"

After Chai Xihui said these words, all the ministers shut their mouths.

Since the national teacher retreated to alchemy, the people of the national teacher's lineage have been severely suppressed. Although they are not completely powerless to fight back, they generally dare not express their opinions.As for the other important ministers, most of them are from Grand Master Pang's side, and they are all waiting for Grand Master Pang to speak.

Taishi Pang, who was originally a few years younger than Chai Xihui, looked old, but when he spoke, his voice was quite loud and full of energy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are rumors that Qiqing Daoist fought with a monk named Daoran and disappeared after he failed. I have ordered Jin Niuwei to investigate this matter, and I believe there will be results in a few days." Grand Master Pang said.

"Oh? It's not easy for this monk Daoran to be able to beat the first disciple of the national teacher in fighting skills." Chai Xihui praised.

"Your Majesty, no matter how powerful a monk is, he can't compare to Master Qiansu." Grand Master Pang said this cleverly, as if he was speaking for the Master, but in fact he wanted to force him out.

No one wants to see the national teacher leisurely refining alchemy. Only by forcing him out can he be made to make mistakes, and only by making mistakes can this worry in his heart be completely resolved.

When Chai Xihui heard Taishi Pang praise the national teacher, he said: "The national teacher is refining the golden pill of ascension for me. As long as you take it, you will be able to ascend in the daytime and become an immortal. Now you can't disturb it. Besides, but He's just a little monk, don't everyone in the court understand his details?"

Taishi Pang quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will investigate clearly."

Chai Xihui nodded and said: "My dear friends, all the strange things in recent days are related to this Qiandenghe. I hope you will investigate carefully and give me a result. If that monk Daoran is a deceitful person , let him get the punishment he deserves; if he is really capable, then I really want to see it. I am also tired today, so let’s leave.”

After Chai Xihui finished speaking, he stood up and walked out of the imperial study regardless of what the court officials thought.

The ministers had no choice but to salute respectfully and send Chai Xihui away.

The court just dispersed, and Grand Master Pang was surrounded by all the officials.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

"What does Your Majesty mean? Monk Daoran, should we kill him or praise him?"

……

Grand Master Pang shouted in a low voice: "Be quiet, what's the matter in such a panic? Didn't you listen to your Majesty? I want to see if this little monk has real skills. If he has no skills, he is naturally a bully and should be killed. If so If you have real skills, you will naturally bring them to His Majesty."

All the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, this statement was too strange.

Who cares whether he has the ability, even if he has it, we say he doesn't have it, so he doesn't have it; even if he doesn't have the ability, we say he has it.Isn't the key to seeing how to choose is beneficial to them?

Besides, how do they know if this monk Daoran has real skills? They are not practitioners.

"Haven't the missions of the Liao Kingdom been in the capital for a long time? They have been waiting for His Majesty to summon them. Tell them, let the shaman they boast about all day go fight with this monk Daoran. Whoever wins will win the prize." I am qualified to meet His Majesty." Grand Master Pang said.
