I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 64 Childishness in the Pure Land
Emperor Xiang Ning of Chu got married to Princess Changle of the Han Dynasty.

The capital is decorated with lanterns and colorful lanterns, and red lanterns are hung high on the four city gates. The restaurants, restaurants and Hutong alleys in the city are all as lively as a festival, but the prices are more friendly than usual.

The people-to-people exchanges between Chu and Han prospered, and it was like a scene of brothers and one family.

Compared with it, Da Ming was very quiet.

No envoys were sent to congratulate the two countries, and private commercial flows seemed to be gradually decreasing, with signs of a complete cessation of contact.

In the palace, the wedding ceremony is underway.

As the Duke of Jin and the prime minister of the dynasty, Fan Li personally presided over the wedding of Emperor Chu to show his solemnity.

All civil and military officials were absent. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan all attended the ceremony in court uniform.

Lu Chunqiu had an appointment with Emperor Jiajing, so he avoided suspicion and did not attend the ceremony, but his chief disciple Yan Yuan, as a member of the Jianghu, was impressively present.

Wu Zai was seriously injured in the fierce battle with the Holy Lord of the Blood Phoenix, and she still needs to retreat to recuperate, so she did not attend.

The only ones who could really come but were deliberately absent were Empress Dowager Li and Xiang Chong!
At the emperor's wedding, the queen mother was absent because she was ill. Xiang Chong refused to attend because of taking care of the queen mother's illness.

After the Lihuozong incident, Empress Dowager Li's ambitions were completely exposed.

So what if Xiang Ning is his biological daughter?

It turned out that in Queen Mother Li's eyes, she was just a temporary occupier of the throne.

Empress Dowager Li's true wish was to support her son in power, which was even more important than overthrowing the powerful minister Fan Li.

"Unfortunately, regarding the Lihuozong incident, Empress Dowager Li and Xiang Chong have been hiding in the harem without leaving any evidence."

"Because of emotion, reason and law, it is not convenient to touch her for the time being."

Lu Chunqiu once sighed like this, but Fan Li did not express it.

This mother and son are not enough to give him a headache. The real trouble is... Holy Lord Qingqiu.

"Although the great ceremony is simple, the grand ceremony is graceful."

"Heaven is respected and the earth is humble, and the king is respectful."

"When a man and a woman marry together, the phoenix follows the dragon."

"Disorder is established, the family is prosperous and the country is prosperous... Both newlyweds, worship heaven and earth!!!"

The Imperial Palace of Chu Kingdom is extremely vast, and there are thousands of guests present.

Fan Li didn't have enough cultivation, so he almost finished reading the words of the emcee at the top of his lungs.

He almost lost his breath and just tried his best to maintain a straight posture, not wanting to be seen in embarrassment by the people around him and lose his face.

There was only one person standing next to Fan Li, wearing Tsing Yi, with a dull expression, it was the Holy Master of Qingqiu.

"She is actually Princess Changle's master..."

Fan Li was very depressed.

In the past few days, Holy Master Qingqiu has been following him.

It was said to be an investigation, but the results only focused on Fan Li.

However, Holy Master Qingqiu is stronger than Holy Master Blood Phoenix, and Fan Li has nothing to do with her.

In order to prevent his relatives and friends from being frightened, Fan Li did not dare to reveal the identity of Holy Lord Qingqiu, and only vaguely stated that he was a new friend.

Xiang Ning got married, and Fan Li entered the palace to act as the master of ceremonies for her.

She originally thought she could get rid of Holy Lord Qingqiu temporarily, but she followed him into the palace majestically.

"It was Changle who invited me here." Holy Lord Qingqiu said, and Fan Li didn't have any temper at all.

Watching off the two newlyweds in dragon robes and phoenix clothes, they bowed to heaven and earth, entered the bridal chamber, and the officials could start the feast.

It stands to reason that Fan Li should also attend the table, and return the salute to the officials on behalf of the emperor.

He is completely in no mood now.

"That...Senior Qingqiu..."

"You are not from the Pure Land, you can call me by my name."

Fan Li laughed dryly.

really?
Can a woman be trusted?

Falling out faster than flipping through a book is a passive skill that all women have, right?

Fan Li tentatively asked: "Qingqiu, I have repeatedly emphasized that the battle with the Holy Lord of Blood Phoenix is ​​purely for self-defense. With my cultivation strength, how can I take the initiative to provoke the Holy Lord of Sanskrit Pure Land? Reasonable self-defense, you understand What do you mean?"

Qingqiu glanced at him.

"The Lihuo Sect was destroyed by you. Thirty percent of the sect's savings for thousands of years went to the Imperial Treasury of Great Chu, and [-]% went to the Fan Mansion."

Fan Li smiled awkwardly: "This..."

Because of the layout of Holy Lord Blood Phoenix, the Fan family suffered a lot of bleeding.If they don't find a way to make back their capital, will the Fan family be in trouble?
Qingqiu didn't wait for his sophistry and said directly: "Lihuo Sect is Lihuo Sect, and Pure Land is Pure Land. You didn't take any grass or trees from Pure Land, so I have nothing to pursue."

Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingqiu added: "Anyone who conflicts with Pure Land, if he or she has committed a serious crime, no matter what the cause of the conflict, Pure Land can pursue until the other party is killed."

Hey!
Fan Li almost cursed.

Therefore, no matter whether Holy Lord Blood Phoenix deserves to be punished or not, as long as the Pure Land of Sanskrit Sound finds some evidence, he can convict himself! ?
Sure enough, in any world, the hard fist is the talker, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon?

Fan Li felt so bad!
Who is he?
The most powerful official in Da Chu, he is known as the most powerful traitor second only to Dong Zhuo in the world, at least that is the character set required by the system.

Can you have no handle at all?

Fan Li no longer had confidence in himself.

However, Holy Lord Qingqiu seemed to see through his mind and patiently explained:
"The change of power in the dynasty is a mundane matter, not a standard for evaluating good and evil in the Pure Land. Whether you are a powerful traitor or a loyal minister has nothing to do with my investigation standards."

Fan Li couldn't understand.

"What do you mean? You even kill loyal ministers?"

Holy Master Qingqiu explained: "A loyal minister of Chu State, if he persuades Emperor Chu to send troops to attack other countries and cause people to die, then the loyal minister of Chu State is still guilty of living in the world. On the contrary, even if you are a traitor, if you are only in the court If you fight for power and profit, if you don’t abuse your power to harm the people, you will be innocent in the Pure Land.”

Fan Li understood, but was confused.

What is the position of Sanskrit Pure Land? These girls think they are messengers who reward good and punish evil in the world?
On Fan Li's face, there was a momentary look of ridicule.

He thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect Qingqiu to see it.

"You don't agree with the idea of ​​the Pure Land?"

"Yes, I don't agree."

Fan Li thought, with Qingqiu's character, flattering her is useless, it's better to be honest.

"Why?" Qingqiu actually showed a curious look. "When the Pure Land was first established, it was created to protect women because they were weak."

"Pureland treats everything in the world equally with the original intention when it was founded. The common people are the weakest. The Pure Land puts the people first, and uses the interests of the people to set the standard of good and evil. What's the problem?"

In terms of cultivation realm, Fan Li can't do it.

But when it comes to governing the country, Fan Li is not troubled.

He immediately asked: "Qingqiu, do you think it is better to divide the world or unify the world?"

Qingqiu obviously had the answer, and immediately replied: "Division will lead to more disputes, and disputes will lead to suffering for the people. I think unification is better."

Fan Li nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"When Da Chu becomes strong enough, I launch a war to destroy the Ming and Han countries and unify the world. Will Pure Land consider me guilty or meritorious?"

"Is it possible to unify the world?" Qingqiu rarely showed hesitation.

Fan Li smiled and said: "I destroyed two countries and fought for years, and the people suffered greatly. How can the Pure Land not count me as guilty?"

Qingqiu: "..."

She was stunned for a long time before she said: "The three countries are safe and sound, and they don't move their swords."

When he said this, Qingqiu's tone was a little timid.

But Fan Li immediately asked: "Suppose a natural disaster strikes Great Chu, the farmland will lose all crops, and the people will starve to death. Han and Ming will not sell grain to me, can I send troops to attack and force them to sell grain?"

Qingqiu's eyes widened, as if he had never considered such a complicated issue.

"If I send troops, war is a crime."

"If I don't send troops, the people of Chu will starve to death."

"Qingqiu, how do you determine my merit and crime at this time?"
