The temptation of the wizard

The national teacher was so angry that he beat the junior brother to the ground in a dust, and said, "Fool! He settled the accounts according to the reward we prayed for rain before, and when things spread, doesn’t the whole world know that our heavenly teacher’s way every time we ask? Rain will ask the court for tens of thousands of taels of gold? Doesn't our image of selfless dedication to the people of the world collapse?"

Chapter 67

After the rain, the sky was clear. On the last day of September in the sixth year of Daxia Guangzheng, the entire court was shrouded in the shadow of 400,000 taels of gold.

And Zhu Yuntai sighed the sun in the backyard of Yamen in Hanoi, half lying in the rocking chair, squinting, swinging.

The infected calf ate snacks and fruits with tea and frequently pushed a rocking chair for the head.

In the wing behind them, Linghu was ordered to write a notebook in the room, but he looked up and chattered from time to time.

"Is the kid angry? Depressed, right? Unlock my ban, I'll take revenge for you and thwart those guys!"

"Hey, you are still too young. Weaknesses and shortcomings are obvious at a glance. What can be corrected is called weakness, and what can't be changed is called weakness. Your soft heart is an obvious weakness."

"You don't have to use a knife to kill, just like what I do now, you can also use a pen and language!"

Having said that, in fact, he still failed to grasp the essence of Zhu Yuntai's writing "Wives and Concubines". That is an objective, calm and almost indifferent attitude. He does not complain about anyone or applaud anyone, and does not influence readers' thinking. , So it can make readers feel scared, fear the house in the story.

However, Linghu was an old angry young man on the eighth day, and he could not control his emotions. The text contained strong subjective preferences. Readers would just laugh or scold him after reading.

"Dream of Red Beans" was shot to death by Yuntai before it was submitted, commenting: "Lack of novelty, and there is a suspicion of deliberately pulling hatred to frame this host."

So the old angry youth began to write "Green Grass by the River", and the protagonist was named Yue Qingqing.

At this time, Xiaohong said that Monk Huikong had come and asked Yuntai if he wanted to see him.

Yuntai didn't open his eyes, and said lazily, "Master, please come in."

When Hui Kong came in front of him, Yuntai sat a little straighter, his expression was natural, and the monk only felt that "she" was so cool.

Yuntai poured a cup of tea for the monk and smiled and said, “I saw the master’s post the day before yesterday. I wanted to see you too. But I heard that someone was going to be against me, so I hurried to leave, and couldn’t tell the master.”

Hui Kong even said: "Please don't blame the people yesterday."

Yuntai lay back in the chair again and calmly said, "How can I blame them? I was too anxious and didn't consider their sensitive psychology after the disaster."

The eighth master in the room raised his head and cursed: "It's stupid to expose weaknesses again!"

Huikong felt that he was treated as an enemy by the Eighth Master, and smiled embarrassedly, "The presided over the six thousand miles of compassion, the poor monk admires him with great respect."

Yuntai: "What six thousand miles of mercy?"

Huikong laughed and said: "It turns out that the host didn't know yet. On the day of Qi Yu, the Yange Ministry presided over the three bowls of blood in the three refusal edicts. The most beautiful in the world, but six thousand miles of compassion. This statement has been widely circulated in Gyeonggi."

The epidemic calf said happily: "My pig is naturally the most beautiful in the world."

The eighth master in the room muttered, "Unfortunately, it's a man."

Yuntai said silently for a moment, "I'm afraid I will disappoint them."

Hui Kong: "Why did the host say this?"

Yuntai: "I rejected the edict three times because I was not sure of Qi Yu and didn't want the court to waste time on me. Later, I received the edict because of the help of the nobles. I also have some origins. If it is compassion, I just rushed to be more diligent. It's just human nature to save a few more people."

Hui Kong disagreed, and shook his head slightly: "Even so, it deserves the praise of the Yan Pavilion Department. Your three bowls of blood can never be faked."

Yuntai did not want to discuss this matter again, "If the master came to me for official business of Taichang Temple, please forgive me for nothing."

Hui Kong smiled helplessly, "Originally, it was indeed for official business. Tianshidao was very hostile to Buddhism in Mount Wutai. It has never allowed Buddhism to build a temple in Beijing. When the elders of poor monk learned that you know you, they asked the poor monk to talk about it. , But now that the host’s mind is known, the poor monks don’t think about it anymore. I hope the host will recover soon."

The eighth day of Linghu in the room sneered and said: "Little monk, you have already stated your purpose, but you also think that this stinky boy is soft-hearted and will definitely remember your words. He will not become an official in the future. If you become an official, you will speak again It's much easier, isn't it?"

Huikong: "..."

Zhu Yuntai is not as foolish as Ba Ye said. He is well aware of the power of Buddhism's brainwashing skills. If they are allowed to mix into the circle of Yujing nobles, Tianshi Dao can no longer contain them, but this is not what he needs. I didn't think much about the things I was worried about, and only greeted Huikong to drink tea.

Not long after Monk Huikong left, Xiaohong said again that Yan Huazang, the chief minister of the cabinet, had come. I wish Yuntai a moment of silence and still let Xiaohong bring people.

Xiaohong is speechless-when the first assistant comes to the door, you don't have to meet you, and you have to come to see you in the backyard. It's really welcome!Although I favor Yuntai in my heart, I also know that if this matter reaches the ears of those scholars, I am afraid that a lot of bad things will be said.

This Yan Pavilion was a bit older than Zhu Yuntai had imagined, and it was much less majestic. It looked like a secluded and leisurely old man.

I wish Yuntai sit upright and say: "The younger generation is hurt, and it is inconvenient to bow. Please sit down, senior."

Yan Huazang smiled and took the seat, "Yuntai is willing to see me. It is already generous. The person who should bow is me, thank you, and apologize."

The irritable Linghu yelled again on the eighth day of the month, "It's a good one!" But Yan Huazang couldn't see him, nor could he hear this.

If Yuntai didn't say anything, Yan Huazang said bluntly: "Yuntai, Qi Yu's expenses, can we postpone a little bit? The imperial court is now doing its best to provide relief to Hanoi, and it is really unable to turn around."

However, Yuntai heard what it meant-don't you grab money from the victims, everyone is for disaster relief.

So he said coldly: "I'm accountable!"

"Accountability?" Yan Huazang was stunned, then said in surprise: "Are you accountable to the court?"

Yuntai asked, "Should it not?"

Yan Huazang wanted to say that it shouldn't, it shouldn't be. How can your little maiden have the right to hold the court accountable?But he also realized that it was unjust to say such words.

The victims may be confused, but those who are slightly sober know that the Hanoi disaster is not only a natural disaster but also a man-made disaster. The emperor, Tianshidao, and Gungun all have unshirkable guilt, not just negligence or negligence, but They personally directed the disaster.

Shouldn't it be accountable?

Those who say they should not be shameless.

Of course there will be many people who will not admit their guilt, but Yan Huazang can’t do it. He sighs deeply: “Yuntai means, if I wait for the guilty person to pay the money together, you will go too often. Does the temple perform its duties?"

Everyone must have some family background, but Yan Huazang couldn't easily get the money in their pockets, he had to give them benefits-leaving Zhuyuntai is what they want.

But it depends on how determined they are to deal with Tianshi Dao, whether they are willing to pay 400,000 taels of gold to stay Zhuyuntai.

Zhu Yuntai didn't make a statement, and lay back in the chair before saying, "I should be able to recover in six days."

Yan Huazang smiled bitterly, "Then no one can stop you?"

"You can try it."

"Hey, don't you think you can't fight?"

"I advise you to be kind."

Chapter 68 The Night at Hualing Ferry

At Hualing Ferry, the setting sun was like blood, and the sunlight reflected by the water waves fell on people's faces, making their eyes hurt.

"Hehehe, speed up your hands and feet, it will be dark!" Tao Huolong waved a stick and directed the workers to unload the cargo from the ship.
