He saw the monk soldier with a bare head shining in the sun in front of him, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Is there no one in Dazhou, and let this group of vegetarian monks come to the battlefield to die!"

"In that case, I will fulfill them!"

"Barbarian warriors, kill me!!"

……

Half a day later, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Under the continuous bad news, the entire capital, whether it was the empress Ji Ruxue or the ministers of the aristocratic family, fell into a state of constant panic and anxiety.

At the court meeting that has hardly stopped these days, Ji Ruxue, who was already a little hysterical, gritted her teeth and looked at the family minister in front of her, and shouted:

"The enemy is about to hit the capital, I need more soldiers!"

"Whether it's your private soldiers or the reinforcements of the princes, I don't care what you do! But I must see more soldiers!"

Prime Minister Cao Ning and a group of ministers of the aristocratic family, when they heard this, lowered their heads, stared at their toes, and remained motionless.

Of course, like Ji Ruxue, they were unwilling to see the Great Zhou Kingdom fall under the iron cavalry of the barbarians.

However, they couldn't accept their family's private soldiers and hand them over to Ji Ruxue.

In that case, even if the barbarians were defeated, they would have to fall under Ji Ruxue's butcher's knife without any resistance.

As for the armies of the princes, even the empress Ji Ruxue couldn't mobilize them, let alone their ministers.

Therefore, they can only be silent.

Seeing this, Ji Ruxue was deeply tired, and couldn't help getting depressed.

But at this moment, a strange news came from the palace guards.

"Your Majesty, there is a monk outside the palace gate who said he can solve your majesty's worries."

monk!

Whether it is Ji Ruxue or the prime minister Cao Ning and other family ministers, they feel absurd when they hear these two words.

And Cao Ning, who has been refusing to speak out, even directly reprimanded:

"Ridiculous, we are discussing national affairs, what problem can a monk solve."

"Quickly retreat!"

But as soon as his words fell, Ji Ruxue said coldly:

"Slow, let him in."

"I want to see what a monk can do to solve my worries!"

After a while, an eminent monk with a face like the full moon and a solemn treasure, wearing a bright red and embroidered cassock, walked into the hall calmly.

When Ji Ruxue saw him, her face softened a little, and she asked:

"What is the name of the monk, and what is the wonderful method? Dare to speak out can relieve my worries."

The eminent monk heard Ji Ruxue's question and said with a smile:

"Poor monk Tan Fei, I have seen His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is worried, but those barbarians outside the Great Wall."

"There are 3000 disciples under my sect, all of whom are monks and soldiers. They have solved His Majesty's worries!"

When Cao Ning heard this, he immediately scoffed.

"At first, seeing your extraordinary appearance, I thought you were a good monk."

"But I never thought that gold and jade are outside, and among the filth, it turns out to be an idiot who speaks big words!"

"How cruel is the barbarian army, I have a hundred thousand elite soldiers, and Chen Bing border pass, can't stop their invasion."

"It's a big joke for you to say that three thousand monks and soldiers will deal with the barbarians!"

As soon as Cao Ning opened his mouth, the remaining ministers of other aristocratic families attacked Tan Fei one after another.

"Your Majesty, monks and Taoists are just actors and prostitutes for entertainment. This coward is so bold that he interferes in military and state affairs, please punish him!"

"This is a demon monk. He must think that the barbarian army is coming to invade. I am in a daze all over the world, and I have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"Your Majesty, those who fish in troubled waters should be killed!"

"..."

The ministers were full of murderous intent, as if they were going to cut Tan Fei alive.

Ji Ruxue also narrowed her eyes, staring at Tan Fei, showing a trace of coldness.

However, in the face of so many ministers shouting and killing, and facing Ji Ruxue's cold stare.

Tan Fei didn't say a word, just stood there quietly with a faint smile on his face.

It seems that he is not being pointed out by thousands of people and about to be killed; but the venerable who heard the wonderful Dharma at the Yulan Basin meeting and smiled.

However, his gesture did not shake the resolve of the ministers of the aristocratic family who shouted at him.

When the voice gradually subsided, the opinion of executing him Ling Chi had become the consensus of civil and military officials in the whole court.

But right now!

A 'good news' came!

"Report-"

"The barbarian army was trapped under Yiyang Pass, and [-] reinforcements were killed by [-] monk soldiers!"

Accompanied by the sound of the good news, Ji Ruxue stood up against the table with an excited expression.

Cao Ning and the ministers of the aristocratic family were stunned and dumbfounded.

"This, how is this possible!"

they asked in disbelief.

Right at this moment, the flying cavalry who delivered the good news rushed into the palace, holding up the good news in his hand.

Ji Ruxue disregarded the majesty of the Empress, stepped directly down to Pill Majesty, and snatched the good news from the flying rider.

She frowned when she saw the news that Dong Huangming led troops to help and stop Yiyangguan from being knocked down.

However, when she looked down and saw the news that [-] monks blocked [-] barbarian reinforcements and slaughtered them all, she shook her fist fiercely.

"Okay! The eminent monk Tan Fei is indeed a monk who does not tell lies."

"Explaining the worries in my heart, I wiped out [-] barbarian troops, showing the majesty and courage of my Great Zhou!"

"Such a great achievement, how can I not reward you."

"Eminent Monk Tanfei, what do you want? As long as I have it, you can just say it!"

Ji Ruxue waved her hand grandly, looking at a group of ministers from aristocratic families with high spirits, her heart was full of complacency and pride.

That staring look seemed to be telling Cao Ning and others.

"Look, even without you, this palace can still resist the barbarians and protect the Great Zhou!"

"I am the real man!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Under Ji Ruxue's aggressive gaze, Cao Ning and other ministers of the aristocratic family lowered their heads, a small admission of defeat.

When Ji Ruxue saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Tan Fei with more satisfaction.

It was the only thing that made her happy after the barbarian invasion.

She was so happy that she even started a little joke.

"Why, high monk Tan Fei, haven't you decided what you want yet?"

Tan Fei smiled slightly, looked at Ji Ruxue, and said:

"Your Majesty is serious. The so-called gold and silver treasures are no different from dung to monks."

"The poor monk has only one request!"

"That is, let me become a Buddhist sect and become the state religion of the Great Zhou!"

State religion!

Cao Ning and other aristocratic children, who had originally told Ji Ruxue how to reward Tan Fei, suddenly raised their heads when they heard this, and stared at him viciously like beasts that wanted to devour others.

What is a national religion is a country's orthodoxy, a country's sacrifice, a country's inheritance, and a symbol of a country's culture!

Why can their aristocratic family be called an aristocratic family? Isn't it because they control the rights of orthodoxy, inheritance, and culture!

Relying on these rights, they accumulate wealth, surpassing all living beings, and have been ministers for generations.

If Buddhism becomes the state religion of the Great Zhou, what will happen to their aristocratic families.

Cao Ning spoke directly and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, absolutely not! Buddhism is the religion of barbarians. If you don't care about childbirth and don't be filial to your parents, how can it be my state religion in China!"

The hundred-year-old celebrity who had been silent for a long time also walked out of the crowd and said righteously:

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister said is true."

"In the past, Emperor Wu of Liang sacrificed his life to serve the Buddha three times, and ate one meal day and night to show his piety. But in the end, he was forced to death by the rebellious officials, and the country was destroyed!"

"The so-called ruts of the past and lessons learned from the past, His Majesty must observe!"

Cao Ning is the head of the courtiers, and Wen Zaidao is the leader of the family.

The two spoke one after the other, which immediately aroused the dissuasion of Ji Ruxue and the cursing of Tan Fei.

Even Wei Liang, Liu Chuyun, and Zhao Yikuang, who were loyal to the world and determined to only serve the people and not participate in court battles, spoke out against it one after another.

"Your Majesty, the so-called state religion is nothing more than a means of exploiting the people by taking advantage of imperial power."

"Nowadays the Great Zhou is precarious and the barbarians are intimidating, and the people are suffering unspeakably. If you want to establish a state religion, you will inevitably extort money and build temples. This is to force the people to death!"

Ji Ruxue listened to the objections from the ministers of the aristocratic family and even the loyal ministers, but she didn't deny it on her face, instead she looked thoughtful.

After thinking for a while, she looked at Tan Fei and asked with a smile:

"Eminent Monk Tan Fei, how strong are your monks and soldiers?"

Tan Fei remained silent until he heard Ji Ruxue's words, then smiled and said to himself:

"Your Majesty, my three thousand monk soldiers can withstand an army of one hundred thousand!"

Rao Ji Ruxue had certain expectations for Tan Fei, but even if he opened his mouth to resist a hundred thousand troops, he was also taken aback.

"really?"

Ji Ruxue asked suspiciously.

Tan Fei said without hesitation:

"really!"

When Cao Ning heard this, he sneered and said:

"The army in the world can break through [-] to [-]. It is nothing more than Li Huai'an's dragon cavalry army through the ages."

"Don't you think that your [-] monk soldiers can compete with the world's number one dragon cavalry army?"

When Tan Fei heard the word Li Huai'an, a disdainful smile flashed across his face and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

He clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and said to Ji Ruxue:

"Your Majesty, facts speak louder than words."

"No matter how much the poor monk said, no matter how nicely he said it, His Majesty would not believe it."

"It's better to wait a few days, the three thousand soldiers of the poor monk will naturally prove themselves with facts!"

When Ji Ruxue heard this, she nodded with a hint of expectation.

Sure enough, in the next few days, there were news of [-] monk soldiers attacking the barbarians every day.

Every time, the beheading ranges from thousands to tens of thousands!
