I have 800,000 private soldiers. The emperor forces me to hand over military power?

Dragon City, Fengming Mountain.

At this moment, the Jin Wang Chen Huaian and the young prince Chen Longxiang, a pair of useless brothers in the eyes of the new second emperor Zhao Qian, were walking side by side on the winding path paved with bluestone slabs.

At the end of the path, a thousand-year-old temple stands quietly and solemnly in the early morning light. It is the famous Qixia Temple.

In the temple, the Sanskrit sounds of monks reciting scriptures come and go, like gurgling water.

On the steps of the temple gate, stood an old monk with a gray beard and a majestic appearance.

The jet-black monk's robe draped on him undulated and fluttered in the morning breeze, adding a bit of immortal charm.

This person is the black-robed monk that Chen Huaian originally mentioned, Dongfang Xiao, the abbot of Qixia Temple.

Talking about the black monk Dongfang Xiao, he is also a strange man with great talent in the world.

He became a monk at the age of fourteen but did not pursue the righteous path of Buddhism. Instead, he liked to specialize in the art of yin and yang. Not only can he see through the hypocrisy and truth in the world, but he is also good at discerning people's hearts. His wisdom and talent are unparalleled.

The late king Chen Polu once commented more than once in front of Chen Huaian that Dongfang Xiao was "a Yin Yang family holding Buddhist beads, and even more so a troubled hero wearing cassocks"!

Regarding Chen Polu's evaluation, Dongfang Xiaofei did not refute, and even said something like "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and His Highness the King of Jin is the one who knows me."

Even when the news of the death of the late Emperor Zhao Mang reached Longcheng, he visited the Prince of Jin's Mansion at night and joked that he would give His Highness the Prince of Jin a white hat to wear.

Then the king of Jin with a white hat on his head, doesn't it mean that he is the emperor of an emperor?

The result can be imagined. The late king Chen Polu had been loyal and loyal all his life, so he immediately drove the crazy Dongfang Xiao out of the Jin Palace.

He was also ordered to be confined in Qixia Temple, chant sutras and chant Buddhas every day, cultivate his moral character, and save the souls of the enemy soldiers who died under his hands over the years on behalf of Chen Polu.

By the way, when the second son of the Jin Dynasty, Chen Longxiang, was born, Dongfang Xiao calculated that the second son, Chen Longxiang, was the golden-winged roc eagle.

Although the two arms have the power of the Four Elephants, they must not commit murder indiscriminately, otherwise they will not end well in the future.

Because of this, the late king Chen Polu reluctantly sent his youngest son Chen Longxiang to Longhu Mountain to endure hardships and practice Taoism when he was just three years old.

In the past ten years, Chen Longxiang, who was practicing in Longhu Mountain, had never committed any crime.

However, when the news of his father Chen Polu's death reached Longhu Mountain, Chen Longxiang, who was returning home to mourn his late father to pay filial piety before his death, happened to encounter the emperor's decree to seize power and attack the city with 100,000 troops.

Chen Longxiang, who missed his mother eagerly, originally wanted to take the palace servants to the tower to rescue his mother Xu Ruoyun, but he happened to encounter Zhou Wuyang, the deputy general of Yun's army who led 800 soldiers to seize the door.

What's more, he didn't expect that the soldiers under Zhou Wuyang's command did not respect martial ethics and rushed up to kill Chen Longxiang with their swords.

Well, just now, Chen Longxiang's ten years in Longhu Mountain were wasted.

A pair of drums, urns, and golden hammers hit each soldier, and in a short time more than 800 people were killed.

Zhou Wuyang, the deputy commander of the army, was even worse. He received two blows from Chen Longxiang. In the end, the soldiers cleaning the battlefield could only pick him up from the ground with a spoon.

Chen Huai'an felt sorry for his younger brother, and saw that he had committed this murder and was afraid that something would happen to him. After finishing the important military affairs, he immediately took Chen Longxiang to Qixia Temple in Fengming Mountain to find the old monk Dongfang Xiao in black to replace his younger brother. Chen Longxiang saved the souls of the dead and washed away the sins of killing.

"Grandmaster!"

"Hey, old monk——"

The two brothers greeted Dongfang Xiao who had been waiting at the gate of the temple for a long time.

However, Chen Longxiang was naughty by nature. The old monk's name made Chen Huai'an's head tighten. Then he raised his hand and slapped his younger brother, saying angrily:

"Dragon Elephant, don't be rude to the master!"

After saying that, Chen Huaian looked at the kind-hearted Dongfang Xiao in front of him with an apologetic look and said:

"Master, my brother is young and naughty, and he has spoken against the master. I hope that the master will not take offense!"

"Dragon Elephant, call for people again!"

Chen Longxiang, who was slapped by his eldest brother Chen Huaian, finally became honest.

But he still looked like the seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied naughty children. He bowed ninety degrees to Dongfang Xiao again and said hello:

"Hello, Master Dongfang!"

This bow, three bows in a row.

Seeing this, Chen Huaian became furious: "Chen Longxiang, you——"

He was making a show of raising his hand to deal with Chen Longxiang again.

Ha ha!

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, wait!"

At this time, Dongfang Xiao laughed and stopped Chen Huaian from trying to deal with Chen Longxiang again, and said with a smile:

"The young prince is a golden-winged roc who came to earth and experienced calamities. It is his nature to be naughty and mischievous. If he is forced to teach the young prince to follow the secular laws and rituals, he will be inferior."

"Your Highness, please stop worrying about such trivial matters!"

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Xiao turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, and continued:

"Your Highness, the young prince is here to invite you. Let's talk while walking!"

Seeing Dongfang Xiaodu say this, Chen Huaian stopped being pretentious and glared at Chen Longxiang fiercely to tell him to restrain himself in this important place in Buddhism.

Then, he said: "Master, I came here today because I have something to do and want to trouble Master!"

Dongfang Xiao smiled mysteriously and said: "Your Highness, you are here because of the young prince's affairs. Don't worry, Your Highness, the poor monk has already been prepared!"

After saying that, Dongfang Xiao called out in a deep voice: "Jingxin, come here for a moment!"

Soon, a handsome young monk hurried over from the meditation room on the side and asked respectfully: "Master, what are your instructions?"

Dongfang Xiaodao said: "Take the young prince to the Main Hall. Master has arranged a salvation ceremony there. Let the young prince calmly listen to the Buddhist scriptures and the Sanskrit sounds of the wooden fish."

"Yes, Master!"

With that said, the young monk made an invitation gesture to Chen Longxiang and said: "Little prince, please come this way!"

Chen Longxiang glanced at Chen Huaian, and after getting the latter's approval, he ran away like a merry-go-round under the guidance of the young monk.

Chen Huaian looked at his younger brother's disappearing figure and smiled helplessly and fondly.

Next, the two of them continued walking through the quiet and peaceful Qixia Temple, and before they knew it, they came to a courtyard that was rarely visited by people. At Dongfang Xiao's suggestion, the two of them took a rest here.

This courtyard is located on the mountainside of Fengming Mountain. Standing here, you can already have a panoramic view of the city outline of Dragon City.

Dongfang Xiao looked into the distance and said, "Your Highness's trip is probably not just for the young prince's affairs, right?"

Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, then please tell me, master, why do I come here?"

Ha ha!

Dongfang Xiao laughed twice and did not answer Chen Huaian's question directly, but said to himself:

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin has extraordinary bones and unparalleled prowess. He will surely rise to the top of the sky!"

"If Your Highness doesn't mind, I would like to give the white hat that I failed to give to the late king half a year ago to Your Highness to wear!"

"Master, are you serious?"

"Your Highness, monks don't lie!"

Afterwards, the two of them looked at each other and smiled while facing the land of Longxing, and their bold and hearty laughter echoed on Fengming Mountain for a long time.
