Emperor Zongwu: Choose the fetters of treacherous ministers at the beginning

For a moment, the court was silent like a cicada.

No one dared to say more about the retreat.

Zhao Kai didn't even read the peace appeal letter.

"Soldiers are approaching the city, do you know to ask for peace? It's too late!"

"I'm not interested in this peace letter."

A fire ignited in his hand, and directly burned up the Xi Xia letter of peace.

"Tell Di Qing, feel free to fight outside, don't worry about the affairs of the court behind!"

Zhao Kai glanced at the officials again.

I want to see if there are any others who come out to seek peace.

Obviously, Yang Jian and Zhu Xi just now were scared to death.

They knew that they were going to be severely investigated by the beaters.

For a while, the two looked at Cai Jing, hoping that Cai Xiang could save the two faction alliances.

However, even Cai Jing shook his head.

In the court, many treacherous officials looked at the newly promoted Yan Song.

He knew in his heart that maybe Yan Song was Zhao Kai's support and the candidate to overthrow Cai Jing.

Some treacherous officials who like the clan also understand.

Next, it's time for the team.

Either, with Yan Song, or with Cai Jing.

Standing on the wrong team is death.

It's just that they don't know, these two, which one they stand on is the wrong answer.

Backwards.

Wei Yuan couldn't help but marvel at Zhao Kai's courage.

"Your Majesty didn't even read the content of the peace appeal letter, and burned it directly. This is enough to show that His Majesty must destroy Xixia, and there will be no one in the court to sing against it."

However, Zhao Kai said: "I roughly read the content of the letter of peace. The conditions of the peace request are that they intend to marry the most beautiful princess of their Xixia Kingdom to me. It is just a marriage union and begging me to withdraw my troops. There is nothing else."

"There are several Xixia princesses. The most beautiful princess should be the little emperor's sister, named Li Qinglu."

Wei Yuan also seemed to have a good understanding of the Xixia Dynasty.

The Xixia royal family was originally from the Xianbei people who came from the chaos in the north and south. They were the royal family of the Northern Wei Dynasty there, and their surname was Yuan.

After coming here to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, I changed my surname to Li.

Originally, he was also loyal to the Song Dynasty, but later he was separated and established a separate dynasty, and he no longer recognized the Song Dynasty as the main one.

And this Li Qinglu is also the granddaughter of Li Qiushui, one of the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Wang Yuyan is her granddaughter, and Li Qinglu is her granddaughter.

In this way, Wang Yuyan and Li Qinglu are also cousins.

The beauty of these two women is ranked first in Kyushu.

"However, Xixia's terms for peace are indeed insincere. When Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia Kingdom, is destroyed, members of the Xixia royal family can be captured alive. Whether it is their emperor or this princess Li Qinglu."

Wei Yuan said.

"It's Li Qiushui, it's not easy to catch. By the way, who is His Majesty planning to send to deal with Li Qiushui? This subordinate is willing to go for His Majesty."

At this time, he looked at Zhao Kai 543.

He was sure that Zhao Kai had already made a decision in his mind.

"You don't have to make this trip yourself, and I didn't send any masters of the Celestial Realm in the palace to Xixia."

Zhao Kai looked calm, and said: "Li Qiushui actually doesn't care about the state affairs of Xixia. Although she is the empress dowager of Xixia, she doesn't have Xixia in her heart. Only her senior brother Wu Yazi who is dying."

"Besides, she and the Tianshan Child Elder, one of the three elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, are also deadly rivals. She only needs to reveal a little information about Tianshan Child Elder and Wu Yazi, and she has no intention of talking to the Xixia Dynasty at all."

Hearing Zhao Kai's comment, Wei Yuan was also momentarily dumbfounded.

"Besides, even if she helps Xixia, she won't be able to stop Di Qing's army. Moreover, there are troops from the Mingjiao Five Elements Banner supporting Di Qing on the North Road. The Song Dynasty's superiority over Xixia's combat power is crushing!"

From this point of view, Xixia must perish!

"Speaking of which, it's time to see where Monk Tianhai is."

Zhao Kai said.

"Calculating the time, he brought Xu Zhu with him, and he should have arrived at the peak of Leigu Mountain soon."

Wei Yuan speculated.

Leigu Mountain is the place where Su Xinghe played Zhenlong chess game.

Zhao Kai took out the Shanhe Chessboard and put it on the table.

He just took out a few chess pieces and moved them slightly.

This mountain and river chessboard seems to have undergone great changes.

Above, there is no longer a chessboard, but various mountains, rivers and lakes.

The entire surrounding area of ​​the Great Song Dynasty has been covered in this mountain and river chessboard.

Zhao Kai quickly found the location of the chess piece he gave to Monk Tianhai from the chessboard.

As the picture zooms in, Monk Tianhai and Xu Zhu, the master-student pair, also appear on the chessboard scroll.

"Sure enough, they've arrived! The Zhenlong Chess Game has already started!"

Zhao Kai said lightly.

Chapter 110: Zhao Kai broke the chess game thousands of miles away, Xu Zhu became the focus

"Master, what is joining the world?"

While carrying his luggage, Xu Zhu asked Tian Hai about various Buddhist principles.

No matter what kind of Buddhist principles, Tianhai can give some answers that he has never heard of before.

"Joining the world means entering the mundane world and understanding the mundane world. You have to be a human being first, and you have to enter the world of mortals before you can see through the world. For example, why don't you dare to try what Buddhist disciples don't allow you to do? If you don't dare to try, how can you see through it?"

"But, master, those are all rules and regulations, we must abide by them."

Xu Zhu asked again.

"Monks, there are clear rules and precepts, do you know who set these clear rules and precepts?"

"Xu Zhu doesn't know."

"It is Xiao Yan, the emperor of the Liang Kingdom who is far away in the chaotic regions of the north and south, and the most respected and respected monk in our Buddhist sect, Patriarch Bodhidharma. Patriarch Bodhidharma came from the far west of Tianzhu.

"That was already a hundred years ago, and he had already reached the realm of the land Buddha. An emperor and an eminent monk stood up together and said that monks must abide by the rules and precepts, and all monks must obey them naturally. Land Buddha, the light of all Buddhist practitioners."

"However, monks must abide by these clear rules and precepts? If I step into the land Buddha realm, can what I say also become precepts? If I want to abolish the clear rules and precepts, what should I do?"

"The precepts are set by the strong!"

Tian Hai's words seemed to make Xu Zhu think something through.

Those Buddhist rules, in the end, are still set by the Buddhist and Taoist monks who have reached the peak.

They used to drink and eat meat, marry wives and have children.

In the end, after becoming a Buddhist and Taoist monk, countless rules and regulations have been added.

But I don't know why.

"Abiding by so many rules and precepts, it is even more difficult to see through the world of mortals and understand the way of Buddhism. They may not want to add too many terrestrial Buddhas to this world."

Tianhai said again.

"So, your two senior brothers, I also let them not have to follow the rules and regulations."

"So it is."

"Xu Zhu, you are different from your two senior brothers. As a teacher, I don't force you to stick to those rules and regulations. You can follow your own heart, keep it if you want, and when you don't want to keep it on that day, you don't have to. Shou. Everything, you can do as you like. Entering the world of mortals, seeing the world of mortals, maybe you can practice Mahayana Buddhism¨".

Finally, following Monk Tianhai's "flickering", he and Xu Zhu also came to the place where Zhenlong chess game is.

At this moment, on the top of Leigu Mountain.

There is a very beautiful lake on the top of the mountain.

It can be described as a paradise on earth.

Beside the lake, there is a huge mountain wall, which is as smooth as a ghostly axe.

On it, there is a huge chessboard.

On the mountain wall chessboard is the Zhenlong chess game that no one can solve for 20 years in the rivers and lakes.

Su Xinghe, sitting on one side of the chessboard on the mountain wall, is like an old tree with roots.

Beside him, his disciples Hangu Bayou waited on him.

At this moment, all the masters of the rivers and lakes come here to solve the chess.

Duan Zhengchun brought his son Duan Yu, and several big officials also came here.

Later, several eminent monks and disciples from Shaolin also came.

Then, Zhang Lai from the beggar gang came with his disciples.

"Old Immortal Constellation, the mana is boundless!"

Amid the sound of slogans.

The notorious Xingxiu in the Jianghu has arrived.

Ding Chunqiu, the Xingxiu old monster, led many of his sons and grandchildren of the dog licking disciples, and his momentum was mighty.

He is Su Xinghe's younger brother, and also a traitor of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Su Xinghe naturally didn't give him a good face.

Soon, masters from all walks of life went up to solve the chess.

But as always, no one has been able to solve the game.

Even, many Jianghu people who have too much obsession in their hearts have become obsessed and even crazy because of this.

On the side, Xu Zhu looked at the Zhenlong chess game, and felt that the chess game was too weird.

"Master, can you break this chess game?"

Xuzhu asked.

Monk Tianhai shook his head: "Perhaps, His Majesty can break this situation."

Inside the Shenwu Pavilion.

Zhao Kai and Wei Yuan also set up this Zhenlong chess game.

Let's comprehend together.

"This chess game is indeed extremely mysterious."

Wei Yuan sighed in admiration.

However, Zhao Kai has already been the one who broke the game and started to make moves.

On the side, Wang Yuyan saw Zhao Kai's strange moves, and asked with beautiful eyes, "Is this move too unreasonable, Your Majesty? Only those who don't know how to play chess will play like this? This is not to hurt the enemy eight hundred times, but to hurt oneself eight hundred times." thousand?"

Zhao Kai smiled and replied: "Then do you think I can't play chess?"

"Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and those chess masters in the court, including Lord Wei, can't beat His Majesty."

Wang Yuyan shook her head.

"Wei Yuan, defend the game."

Zhao Kai laughed.
