Chapter 161 The Conferment Ceremony, Buddhism’s Plan, and the Eastern Wasteland Demon Cave [End of text!]
Bactrian Palace.
It's late at night.
Emperor Yongsheng probably understood something when he heard that Wang Qixin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked for an audience.
When Wang Qixin appeared, Emperor Yongsheng was full of expectations.
"His Majesty!"
"I have a wonderful news to report."
Wang Qixin said with great excitement.
"Xuan."
Emperor Yongsheng stood up, looked at Wang Qixin, and asked him to tell him the happy news.
Wang Qixin did not hesitate and directly informed Emperor Yongsheng of the experimental results of the Daxia Dragon Boat, Daxia Treasure Ship and Daxia Dragon Cannon.
After the data was explained, Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but clenched his fists in the Yangxin Hall, with uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
He had anticipated some of it before, but the outcome still depends on whether Gu Jinnian's ancient spirit gathering formation has any effect.
Now that the results have appeared, how can Emperor Yongsheng not be happy? How can he not be excited?
"good."
"It's really good."
"In the Jin year, he made immortal achievements for the Great Xia Dynasty."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, looking very excited.
He knew very well what the improvement of dragon boats, treasure ships, and cannons could bring to the dynasty.
Trade issues were not what Emperor Yongsheng cared about most, military war was what Emperor Yongsheng cared about most.
What is the core of fighting?
Logistics supply.
As long as there are no problems with logistics support, it will be a huge advantage for large-scale wars. If the soldiers can have enough to eat, it will be better than anything else and boost their morale.
In addition, with some domestic disaster relief and food delivery, these and other problems can be effectively solved.
Emperor Yongsheng must be different from Gu Jinnian and can think of more things.
Delivering military supplies and providing food for disaster relief, he was very satisfied if these two things were met.
"His Majesty."
"But it's not just that. If the Marquis' spirit gathering formation works, the Ministry of Industry has many tools that will benefit the country and the people. Does your Majesty still remember the cultivator?"
Wang Qixing was in high spirits. He had too many ideas and plans in his mind.
"I remember."
"However, we cannot publicize this item for the time being. At this stage, we are still focusing on dragon boats and treasure ships to maintain trade and transportation within Daxia."
"Wang Aiqing, you must be careful what you say about this matter. Apart from me and Gu Jinnian, I don't want a fourth person to know about the Ancient Spirit Gathering Formation."
"If there are any rumors outside and you discover something, you should know what crime it is."
Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood what Wang Qixin meant, but what he understood even more was that good things had to be hidden until the critical moment.
"I understand. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep the secret. If there are any rumors, please forgive me."
Wang Qixin said seriously, why didn't he understand how important this thing was?
So he took the initiative to express his feelings to Emperor Yongsheng.
"kindness."
"I have always understood that Wang Aiqing is loyal to the country. I remember that Wang Aiqing's eldest son is now twenty-one. He will enter the capital in a few days. The official department is short of a foreign minister, so he will be suitable."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke calmly, his words had no trace, but it made Wang Qixin full of surprises.
His son is twenty-one years old this year. Although his father is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, his talent is average. Normally, if he wants to become an official in Beijing, he has to wait until he is at least thirty years old. Now he can be regarded as one or two promotions.
And Jane is in the emperor's heart.
It is unlikely that he will become a minister, after all, his abilities are limited, but it should be appropriate to become a minister in the future.
The main thing is that if Wang Qixin did this well, it would be really hard to say.
This is the method of the emperor, giving both kindness and power.
Wang Qixin was full of excitement and bowed deeply to Emperor Yongsheng.
"My lord, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Wang Qixin spoke excitedly.
And at the same moment.
Daxia Academy.
It was already extremely lively.
When Gu Jinnian comes back, the students of the academy will naturally have a good time to celebrate.
During this period, many people left the academy. Some were eliminated, but most of them went back to prepare for the imperial examination.
If I count carefully, I have been staying at Daxia Academy for half a year.
It takes one full year to finish studying at Daxia Academy, but with the imperial examination coming soon, most people still choose to go home and prepare for the exam.
Wait until everyone is done having fun.
Wang Fugui, Jiang Yezhou and Gu Jinnian chatted for most of the day.
However, the two of them also had to prepare to take the imperial examination, so Gu Jinnian didn't waste too much time. After saying goodbye to the two of them, he went directly to find Su Wenjing.
On this trip, I still have to ask Su Wenjing about some things.
It's like the theory of destiny.
In the dean's study, Su Wenjing was still studying the chess game. It seemed that he had a strong desire to win.
"Mr. Wenjing, the student is back."
Outside the study, Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.
"Enter."
As Mr. Wenjing's voice sounded, Gu Jinnian also walked into the study.
"I've met Mr. Wenjing."
Seeing Su Wenjing, Gu Jinnian bowed to him to show his etiquette.
"Jin Nian."
"You stole the show during this Great Xia peace negotiation."
Su Wenjing smiled and praised Gu Jinnian.
"fine."
"It is the duty of an official to be able to contribute to the court."
Gu Jinnian was humble.
"This peace negotiation and summoning the fire stone from outside the sky should be the result of the Seal of Destiny."
"It's just that you can't use this destiny mark too much. After all, you have to pay a huge price."
Su Wenjing knew where the extraterrestrial flint came from, so he reminded Gu Jinnian to pay more attention.
"Students understand."
"Mr. Wenjing, there are several destiny marks in the student's body, but I don't know what kind of magical power this destiny mark has. May I ask, sir, how to find out?"
Gu Jinnian asked curiously.
He now has five destiny marks in his body, one can summon fire stones, one can go back to the past, and the other three are unknown.
"The problem of realm."
"Jinnian, you are just knowing the sages and making statements now. You have not yet reached the realm of a great Confucian. When you become a great Confucian, you will know everything."
Su Wenjing gave the answer, which made Gu Jinnian understand.
"Understood."
"Sir, there is one more thing I need to ask you. What is this struggle for destiny?"
Gu Jinnian nodded, he had also guessed this before.
"The battle for destiny is of great significance. Now all the major dynasties and various forces are searching."
"I don't know what this battle of destiny is about."
"The only thing we know is that this battle for destiny has a huge impact. Whoever can come out on top in the battle for destiny in the future will become the person of destiny."
Su Wenjing spoke calmly.
To be honest, he didn't know what this battle of destiny was, he just knew it was different.
A bit mysterious.
"However, it won't be long before, as soon as one year, or as slowly as three years, the battle for destiny will begin."
"I have deduced the secret of heaven. In this world, there are not many imprints of destiny left by the master. Jixia Academy is of great significance."
"Whoever can obtain the destiny of Jixia Academy will be the prelude to the battle of destiny."
Su Wenjing said with a determined expression.
"Jixia Academy, the prelude to the struggle for destiny?"
"Why is this?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but become curious.
"Jixia Academy contains two destiny. Confucius sealed the two destiny at the beginning. Whoever can create a new school will get it."
"This time in Jixia Academy, there will be a fight between dragons and tigers. Someone will definitely covet the two destiny seals sealed by Kong Sheng."
"I know that the Seven Sages of Zhushan have already set off and will be heading to Jixia Academy soon."
"These seven people are all contemporary Confucian scholars with extremely high knowledge. They have gathered together for twenty or thirty years and set great ambitions to complete the immortal new theory. These seven people alone are beyond the reach of others. When it comes to economics, I
No one can compare to him."
Su Wenjing made people feel pressured by speaking out a random name.
"Seven Sages of Bamboo Mountain?"
Gu Jinnian had heard about this force. Seven like-minded Confucians gathered together and talked about Confucianism, Taoism, economics, or analyzed the general trend of the world every day.
It is much better to discuss the classics and meanings with each other than to work alone behind closed doors.
"Sir, how many people will come to Jixia Academy this time?"
"Also, who are the forces in this world divided into?"
Gu Jinnian was a little curious.
I have always said that the general trend of the world is the general trend of the world, but Gu Jinnian has never been exposed to any general trend.
Daxia Dynasty, Xiongnu Kingdom, Fuluo Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Zhongzhou Dynasty.
These are the several major forces that Gu Jinnian knows so far, but the problem is that these major forces give Gu Jinnian the same feeling.
They may be too far apart and not in the same system, so it is difficult to detect how strong the other party is.
I heard what Gu Jinnian said.
"It's hard to tell clearly. There are only a few people in the older generation. In fact, there is no shortage of strong people in ancient and modern times. It's just that some people are indifferent and have clear aspirations, some people hide themselves, and some people like to show their faces."
"The world is so big, it's easy to hide."
"Moreover, Jinnian, I ask you, what does it mean to be strong? Is it martial arts? Or is it Confucianism, Taoism, and the classics?"
Su Wenjing spoke up.
The question Gu Jinnian asked was nothing more than who is the real strong one.
But this is difficult to explain, because a truly strong person can hide, just like Su Wenjing. Before the Confucius Mansion, everyone in the world thought he was a quasi-half-saint, but in fact he had become a semi-saint long ago.
So it's hard to say.
Plus, how to judge who is the strong one?
"Understood."
"Okay, sir, the student will go back first. He will enter the palace later, and there will be a canonization ceremony tomorrow."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
"kindness."
"After the canonization ceremony, the imperial examination is about to begin. More or less the scholars who participated in the imperial examination this year are here. If nothing happens, you can go and have a look in secret and observe."
Su Wen nodded.
At this moment, Gu Jinnian left here.
When we got back to our residence, there was nothing to wait for.
Su Huaiyu, Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Qingqian are not here.
However, it stands to reason that Su Huaiyu's absence is reasonable, and the absence of Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Qingqian would cause some problems. After all, the two of them just went to Guiyang County to investigate the affairs of Buddhism.
It's indeed a bit strange that the two of them are not here.
But if you think about it carefully, these two people are not ordinary people, and their backgrounds are huge, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Gu Jinnian comforted himself in his heart.
But in the end, he still asked someone to inquire about it.
In this way, Gu Jinnian devoted himself to the project of Daxia Evernight City.
After the canonization ceremony, the construction of Daxia Evernight City can begin, and Gu Jinnian's idea is very simple.
First complete the basic construction, at least improve the overall image, and then block it off, and start construction slowly without any rush.
The most important things right now are Daxia Department Store and Daxia Restaurant. These two places are very important.
Based on the budget, if the labor costs were paid by the court, the basic materials, including other items, would cost approximately 70,000 to 80,000 taels of gold.
And this is just Gu Jinnian's budget. Once construction begins, it will definitely not be that simple.
In nearly three hours, Gu Jinnian completed the design of the Daxia Department Store, with nine floors and a pagoda shape.
The first level must have at least 100 acres of land, and then the land is reduced at each level. After all, the first level focuses on civilian consumption.
Gu Jinnian's design is also very simple and crude.
The first layer of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar supplies the basic needs of the people.
The second layer is silk, satin, clothing and cloth, these things.
The third floor contains some porcelain, pots and pans.
Therefore, the demand for the goods on the first three floors is huge, and the warehouse storage cannot be reduced. If there is a short sale, new goods will be released.
The fourth, fifth and sixth floors belong to the category of fine products, which can be understood as fine tea, porcelain, clothes, and some strange products from various places, such as the white jade fruit mentioned before, and now dragon boats are available
, it can be completely transported to Daxia Kyoto within one or two days to meet diversified needs.
But if you want to go online, you must have a membership system. Members cannot go online and buy.
From the seventh floor to the ninth floor, there are high-end goods. For example, high-quality Zhenlong Baomi rice can be sold at the top. To put it bluntly, branded goods are all good.
The main purpose of Daxia Department Store is to achieve customer flow. As long as there is customer flow, the following things can be carried out.
Small profits but quick turnover.
Daxia Restaurant can take advantage of this opportunity to rise. Gu Jinnian doesn't want to earn anything from the people's money. At least for the people of his own country, Gu Jinnian would rather earn less.
There is a saying that is very good.
The strength of a dynasty is determined by its army.
The judgment of a prosperous age is decided by the people.
If you want to make the Great Xia Dynasty truly prosperous, what matters is not how powerful the country is, but how the people live. The better the people live and the higher their happiness index, then the real prosperous age will be achieved.
Just like the Yuan Dynasty in the previous life, the territory was indeed large, even boundless, but how were the people living?
It can be called a powerful country, but it cannot be called a prosperous country.
Gu Jinnian naturally hopes that the country is strong and prosperous, so he is also forging ahead.
But Gu Jinnian is not going to be merciful when he earns money from the rich.
In Daxia Restaurant, Gu Jinnian built a restaurant that integrates food, accommodation and transportation. It is also nine floors, but the area is completely different.
The first and second floors are used for dining. The first floor is more popular, and the second floor is the exquisite private rooms. If you add a few elegant rooms, you have to arrange them in a row, and the prices will of course go up. After all, for rich people,
What you eat is not rice, but face.
The third floor is used for food and accommodation for internal staff, including utility rooms and some accommodation needs. The fourth, fifth and sixth floors are the guest rooms, all of which are priced according to the price, so they can be as luxurious as possible.
The seventh and eighth floors are dedicated to entertainment and a one-stop massage and sauna service to ensure you stay here comfortably.
As long as you have something to eat and drink, you can also have some fun.
As for things like casinos, Gu Jinnian firmly resists them. This thing is very harmful to people. Although Gu Jinnian understands that people who like gambling will go to other places to gamble if they don't come here to gamble.
But Gu Jinnian still doesn't consider this. He doesn't want to harm anyone, even if it's a rich person with a lot of money, he doesn't want to do this.
Gambling and drugs are inseparable.
The problem before us is that there is no big problem with infrastructure, but personnel training is very important.
There is no shortage of waiters like this. You can recruit a group of people with just a few tricks. If you train them intensively, you will see results in about three months.
What is really missing is girls.
It's impossible to let an old man give a massage to a customer, right? Even Gu Jinnian can't stand it.
"When Su Huaiyu comes back, let's look for him together."
Gu Jinnian thought to himself.
After finishing the trivial matters, Gu Jinnian stood up directly and walked towards the Daxia Palace.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival and the canonization ceremony. I have to go to the palace to prepare a few things.
Firstly, it is a process issue, and secondly, it is an identity issue.
If someone else were to be granted the title of Marquis, there would be no need to go to the palace and just prepare it in advance at the Ministry of Etiquette. However, Gu Jinnian has royal blood in his body, so he would naturally have to follow the royal etiquette.
Half an hour later.
Gu Jinnian came to the palace.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites had already been preparing in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were also busy.
Wei Xian rushed over immediately, took out the jade book, and began to introduce the Marquis Ceremony to Gu Jinnian.
The entire process is also extremely exaggerated.
There are a total of one hundred and twenty-seven items, large and small, such as beating drums and worshiping heaven and earth.
"Master Marquis, according to the time plan, you should take a bath now. After taking a bath, go to the ancestral temple to burn incense. Once Haishi passes, the canonization ceremony will begin."
Wei Xian spoke up and said with a flattering smile.
"good."
Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate, he still had to go through the process, after all, he was a prince.
When I came to the bathing place, one hundred and eight maids were waiting on me.
From bathing to dressing, there is someone to take care of you.
The evil life of a rich man.
But before Gu Jinnian could say anything, a faint voice could not help but sound.
"Let all these maids go out."
The voice sounded.
very familiar.
It was Su Huaiyu's voice.
Inside the palace.
Gu Jinnian, who was already ready to take off his clothes, couldn't help but be stunned.
He looked around and saw Su Huaiyu's figure appearing outside the main hall, with a calm look on his face.
"I've met Mr. Su."
Seeing Su Huaiyu's appearance, Wei Xian immediately stepped forward. After all, this person's identity was not ordinary. He had received the mark of destiny and had been in the palace several times. His Majesty also valued him.
Wei Xian naturally did not dare to offend.
"Eunuch Wei, you're welcome."
"Let these maids step aside. I have a secret matter to see His Royal Highness."
When Su Huaiyu spoke, he still called His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Slave, please obey."
Wei Xian nodded. Su Huaiyu must have gone to see His Majesty before he could enter the palace. Since he had important matters to discuss, it was hard for him to say anything.
At that moment, all the maids left with disappointed eyes.
Gu Jinnian was also a little angry. He took off his outer robe, kept his underwear, and walked directly into the bath.
In comparison, this ancient bathhouse was just a lagao. Not to mention that the bathhouse was very small. It was basically just a bath for one person, and there was nothing. It was just buckets of hot water poured in, and when it got cold, some boiling water was added.
, add some cold water when it’s hot.
In other words, only the rich and powerful can enjoy one or two things, which is not interesting at all.
"Brother Su, why are you here?"
Soaking in the bathtub, Gu Jinnian looked at Su Huaiyu with some curiosity.
"Your Majesty has something to do with me, so he came to the palace. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince also entered the palace, so I came to see you."
Su Huaiyu spoke in a calm tone.
"What's up?"
Gu Jinnian was slightly curious.
"confidential."
Su Huaiyu spoke calmly, obviously not wanting to mention it.
"How is the investigation going on in Nanwei County?"
Since Su Huaiyu didn't want to mention it, Gu Jinnian didn't hesitate and directly asked about Nanwei County.
"Go back to His Royal Highness, the investigation is almost complete."
"But my subordinates couldn't do their job. Xu Jian was killed."
Su Huaiyu spoke up and informed Gu Jinnian that Xu Jian had been killed.
Xu Jian is the person who fights injustices for the people of Chengou Village.
"Killed by whom?"
"You can't even protect him?"
In the pool, Gu Jinnian frowned and looked at Su Huaiyu.
"Return to His Majesty the Crown Prince."
"The perpetrators are the men of the eldest son, Prince Ning."
"It's not that my subordinate couldn't save his life, but that after the incident was investigated, he returned to Beijing and learned about the incident on the way, so he turned back."
"I heard that Li Lengqiu had been beheaded by the prince, so my subordinates did not act rashly. Instead, they buried Xu Jian generously and settled his family."
Su Huaiyu replied that there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he could not stay by Xu Jian's side day and night at all hours.
After getting this answer.
Gu Jinnian sighed.
He was somewhat silent.
"His Royal Highness, there is no need to blame yourself. You have avenged him. Xu Jian advised that he was actually prepared to die. On the way there, Xu Jian also told his subordinates that he had already put life and death aside.
Outside the body."
"As long as His Highness the Crown Prince can give justice to the people of Chengou Village, so that the person who died unjustly can calm down his anger, and he will die a worthy death."
Su Huaiyu spoke up and told Gu Jinnian about this.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian didn't feel very good inside.
After a while, Gu Jinnian spoke.
"Does he have any children?"
Gu Jinnian asked.
"I have two children, one is twenty-two years old and the other is thirteen years old."
Su Huaiyu replied.
"He was appointed by the Ministry of Rites as a loyal minister, buried as a fourth-grade official, and given five hundred taels of gold."
"If the eldest son is a scholar, let the Ministry of Personnel arrange a county magistrate position. When the youngest son is two years older, he will enter Daxia Academy and tell Mr. Wenjing."
"Go to the Duke's Mansion again, give them five hundred taels of gold, and buy five hundred acres of land for their orphans and widows to ensure that they have no worries in the future."
Gu Jinnian spoke slowly, this was the only way he could compensate.
"As commanded."
Su Huaiyu nodded.
Then he continued to speak.
"Your Highness, there are probably many cases of people being killed and turned into bandits in Nanwei County. My subordinates investigated along the way and found that there are many abandoned villages. It is impossible to completely count them, but they are definitely more than imagined."
"However, my subordinates have informed your Majesty about this matter. I think your Majesty will deal with it severely, and after hearing Prince Ning's apology, he also sent it to the palace."
Su Huaiyu told Gu Jinnian these things.
"Excuse me?"
"Humph, he should send his head over. This is called asking for forgiveness."
Gu Jinnian snorted coldly.
What kind of sin is it to kill people and pretend to be bandits? Just send a confession and pretend it's nothing?
"Prince Ning is not a person who takes things for granted after all."
"His Royal Highness, Mr. Gu probably already knows about this matter. Your Majesty knows it very well. I think these two can work together to solve it effectively."
Su Huaiyu said.
Of course, there was something behind his words. He was just telling Gu Jinnian not to get involved yet.
"I see."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Jinnian's voice couldn't help but sounded again.
"correct."
"There are rumors in the community that someone is pretending to be me and going to a brothel to do whatever they want, using my name and not giving me any money."
"Brother Su, do you know this person?"
Gu Jinnian thought of another thing and looked at Su Huaiyu.
However, Su Huaiyu did not fluctuate at all.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should know about me. I, Su, am not good at women. Even if I do hook up with women, I will never refuse to give them money. What I hate the most is free prostitution."
Su Huaiyu said seriously.
Although there was something wrong with what he said, the other person's eyes were very determined and it didn't look like he was lying.
"really?"
Gu Jinnian frowned.
"I have been outside all this time. Even if I want to use the name of His Royal Highness, I can't get away from it."
Su Huaiyu felt a little aggrieved.
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
In the bathtub, Gu Jinnian frowned. He really didn't expect it to be that little clever guy.
After thinking for a while, he really couldn't think of it, so Gu Jinnian didn't say anything.
"Brother Su, there is something I need you to run over to. Do you have time?"
Gu Jinnian asked aloud.
"Your Highness, please tell me."
The latter spoke.
"Fairy Yaochi and Fairy Qingqian went to Guiyang County and haven't come back yet. I'm worried about running into some trouble."
"Please help me make a trip to see what's going on. If there are any problems, let me know immediately."
This matter has been hanging in Gu Jinnian's mind. Now that Su Huaiyu is back, it's time for a trip.
"good."
"We will investigate immediately after the Lantern Festival."
Su Huaiyu nodded.
"Okay, I'll bother you, Brother Su."
After saying this, Gu Jinnian said nothing and soaked in the bath peacefully.
About two quarters of an hour passed.
Gu Jinnian got up from the bath and walked out. Su Huaiyu also got up and came to the outside of the main hall, guarding him closely for fear that any maid would break in.
To be honest, Gu Jinnian really doubted whether there was something wrong with this guy's brain, and this aspect was completely blocked.
Was he a judge in his previous life?
After feeling a little depressed, Gu Jinnian wiped himself. There were many clothes placed in the hall.
A jade plate contains one item.
Black python king's robe, red water belt, unicorn jade pendant, golden silk flowing cloud boots, jade crown and so on.
Originally, it was quite fast with the help of a maid, but because of Su Huaiyu, Gu Jinnian put on this suit and struggled with it for nearly half an hour.
After everything was done, standing in front of the bronze mirror, a man with a peerless appearance appeared in an instant.
In front of the bronze mirror.
Gu Jinnian has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a jade tree facing the wind. He is seven and a half feet tall and has an extremely handsome face. His Confucian aura surrounds him, giving him the impression of a humble young man, as gentle as jade.
But with the royal robe, he still retains his majesty. To be honest, no one can match him just for his appearance.
One thing I have to say.
Because he is so outstanding, Gu Jinnian's appearance is seriously underestimated.
After bathing, incense is burned.
Gu Jinnian went to the ancestral temple to cleanse his heart. When the time came for his son, the sound of war drums would sound in the palace, and the canonization ceremony would begin.
The entire Daxia Kyoto seemed extremely lively. With the arrival of the Lantern Festival, the curfew was lifted, the restaurants were brightly lit, and the people were laughing and laughing.
in this way.
Until midnight.
A sound sounded, the sound of war drums.
Boom!
As this voice sounded, Daxia Kyoto also became quiet.
Boom!
The next moment, drums sounded from all directions in Daxia Kyoto, which was a response.
The drum sounded a full nine times.
An extremely loud voice sounded.
"The canonization ceremony begins."
As this sound rang out, fireworks shot into the sky over the entire Kyoto, shining brightly on the sky.
And at the same time.
Inside Prince Ning's Mansion.
Prince Ning stood in the study, looking indifferent.
In the study, there were two figures standing, one was his military advisor Hou Jun, and the other belonged to a monk.
"Your Majesty, the apology letter has been sent to the palace, but no news has come back yet. I think your Majesty is also hesitating about what to make."
Hou Jun's voice sounded.
He looked at Prince Ning and expressed his thoughts.
"hesitate?"
"Oh, he made his decision long ago and asked for punishment and was sent to the palace. He didn't attack immediately. This is even more dangerous."
"It seems that my plan must be advanced, otherwise we will be in trouble if he takes the lead."
Prince Ning spoke up, as if he had anticipated why Emperor Yongsheng would not punish him.
Sensing the crisis.
"Then when does the prince plan to take action?"
Hou Jun spoke, somewhat curious.
"Half a year."
"We have to wait at most half a year, and we have to take action within half a year."
"Strike first is the strongest."
Prince Ning said calmly, it was his idea to send troops to rebel within half a year.
But as soon as these words came out, Hou Jun's expression couldn't help but change.
"Your Majesty."
"Half a year is too hasty. Now the Great Xia Dynasty has a prosperous national fortune, and its troops and horses are strong. It would not be advantageous for us to send troops."
Hou Jun spoke up. He was a military advisor, so he naturally knew the specific situation. He knew whether he could win or not.
But Prince Ning ignored Hou Jun and looked at the monk next to him.
"What do the three major temples think about sending troops within half a year?"
Prince Ning asked him in a calm tone.
"Go back to your lord."
"Gu Jinnian has violated my Buddha's bottom line by killing me, a senior tantric monk. If the prince sends troops, the Buddhist sect will do its best."
"It's just that there is something I hope the prince can help with."
The latter spoke out and firmly supported Prince Ning, but there were conditions.
"Please say."
King Ning responded.
"We went up to Tantra, observed the stars at night, and conducted deductions for several days. We discovered that there will be a shocking disaster in Daxia."
"Countless people will definitely be killed or injured by then. We monks, who say very little, can only pray for these people at the moment. If such a natural disaster really happens, we want to go to Daxia and save these dead souls."
"It's just that the Crown Prince of Great Xia, Gu Jinnian, has a prejudice against me as a monk. Therefore, I hope that King Ning can speak to His Majesty and let me and other monks come to the rescue."
He spoke out.
Tell a secret.
In an instant, Hou Jun's face couldn't help but change, and his heart was extremely shocked.
Earth-shattering disaster?
"How big is it?"
Prince Ning looked at the other party. He knew as soon as he heard that something was going to happen in Buddhism.
"More than ten times that of Jiangning County."
The latter replied calmly.
At that moment, even Prince Ning couldn't help but frown.
The disaster in Jiangning County caused a lot of casualties. At least hundreds of thousands of people were buried here. Fortunately, it did not continue to worsen, otherwise it would have been really tragic.
But if something like this happens again, and it's more than ten times worse than Jiangning County, I'm afraid something big will happen.
At this moment, Prince Ning fell silent.
He hopes for civil strife in Daxia, but he does not want too many casualties in Daxia. This would not be a good thing for himself.
If the battle for imperial power involves innocent people, this is not a good thing.
Looking at Prince Ning being silent.
The eminent monk glanced at Hou Jun, who immediately understood what he meant and couldn't help but say.
"Your Majesty."
"My subordinates think this is feasible."
"After a natural disaster occurs, people can secretly criticize the emperor, use villains, and blame the matter on Gu Jinnian."
"Three hundred thousand soldiers of the Xiongnu Kingdom were slaughtered, which was a punishment from God. When the time comes, the prince will introduce Buddhism into the territory of Daxia, and he will also gain a good reputation. Although there will be some sacrifices, the overall situation is more important."
"Your Majesty, if something like this really happens, we will raise an army to rebel, and we will be sure of it."
Hou Jun spoke up and analyzed the pros and cons of this matter.
"Your Majesty."
"What Mr. Hou said is absolutely true. This natural disaster was most likely caused by Gu Jinnian. After all, the souls of 300,000 soldiers died. Although there have been killings in ancient times and modern times, such a huge killing is very rare."
"This is a natural and man-made disaster, and it is not your fault. We can't bear it. But if it really happens, we will try our best to save the people. I just hope that your prince can come forward and say a few words."
The eminent monk also spoke, fearing that Prince Ning would be shaken in his heart.
“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to small details.”
"If something like this really happens, I will come forward. Master, just be prepared to settle in Daxia."
King Ning spoke up and he agreed.
Of course, he knew in his heart what kind of wishful thinking this Buddhist had.
The idea of Buddhism is nothing more than to take this opportunity to settle in the Daxia Dynasty.
As for this natural and man-made disaster, it was said that it was Gu Jinnian's problem, but whose problem it was, how could he not be aware of it?
However, he did need a natural disaster to suppress the Great Xia Dynasty.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to rebel with the soldiers in your hands.
"I am here, poor monk, for the sake of all the people in the world, thank you so much, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty has a compassionate heart."
The latter was overjoyed and bowed to Prince Ning.
After a while, he slowly left.
Yin Shi.
Buddhism in the West.
Wuliang Buddhist Temple.
This is one of the three major temples of Ascension Tantra.
today.
The Buddhist temple looks extremely solemn.
Thirty-six thousand monks put their hands together and bowed their heads to recite scriptures.
In the center, a huge black Buddha statue appears.
This Buddha statue has three heads and six arms, and is completely black. It holds a dragon wheel in its hand. It has one side that is vicious, one side that is cold, and one side that is compassionate.
Twelve monks in cassocks, carrying twelve bowls of black blood, poured water around the Buddha statue.
Some weird sacrifice is being held.
In the main hall, several figures slowly appeared.
"Amitabha."
"President, Prince Ning has agreed to allow Buddhism to settle here."
As a figure appeared, it was the eminent monk who had just appeared in Prince Ning's Mansion.
He showed up and gave the latest information.
In an instant, the four monks in the hall all looked happy.
"good."
"If Prince Ning agrees, it will be almost certain that our Buddhist sect will settle in Daxia."
A monk spoke up. He was in his early fifties, wearing a cassock, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he didn't have any Buddhist compassion at all. Instead, he had a kind of ferocity.
These four people are the four great divine monks of the Tantric Sect.
They are Compassion, Universality, Viciousness, and the Eight Resentments.
This man with a vicious face is a vicious holy monk.
Among Buddhists, there are three major temples, Shangxing Tantric Sect, Dayin Temple, and Xiaoyuan Temple, but the one that really rules Buddhism is Shangxing Tantric Sect.
Therefore, the Supreme Tantra has one Bodhisattva, two Buddhas, three venerables, four divine monks, five arhats, six protectors, seven vajras, eight practitioners, and nine gurus.
The hierarchy is strict and insurmountable.
Luo Ze is one of the masters of the Tantric Sect, and will be at least one of the four great divine monks in the future.
He was just beheaded by the old demon.
"This time, I bet on my luck as a Buddhist. If I succeed, Buddhism will settle in Daxia and unify the Eastern Wasteland. At that time, Shangxing Bodhisattva will also complete the deal with Zhongzhou, and Buddhism will settle in Zhongzhou. It will truly spread Buddhism to the world and complete the immortal mission.
."
"When that time comes, in the battle for destiny, our Buddhist sect will surely come out on top, and a true Buddha will be born."
Pudu Divine Monk then spoke, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
"kindness."
"But it will take some time for this formation to be activated."
"Now that King Ning has agreed, it shouldn't be difficult for us to settle in Daxia. But after all, this Gu Jinnian is the biggest hidden danger to our Buddhist sect. He killed Luo Ze and formed a life-and-death feud with our Buddhist sect. This must be taken seriously.
Notice."
The compassionate monk spoke and mentioned Gu Jinnian.
"When will the injustice be repaid?"
"The poor monk went to Daxia Kyoto, met Gu Jinnian, and took the initiative to resolve the grudges."
The Eight Resentful Divine Monks spoke out and wanted to go to Daxia Kyoto to resolve their grievances.
"Resolving grudges? I'm afraid it will be difficult. This Gu Jinnian is biased against my Buddhist sect. If he goes, he will probably be humiliated in every possible way."
The vicious monk frowned, thinking something was wrong.
But the Eight Resentful Divine Monk shook his head slightly, with a smile on his face.
"Isn't this better?"
"I treat people with compassion, but they treat me with evil."
“The world will know good and evil by looking at it.”
The Eight Resentful Divine Monk spoke calmly, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Amitabha."
"Great mercy."
The three divine monks clasped their hands together and bowed to the Eight Resentful Divine Monks very respectfully.
"In a few days, I have to go out. The Immortal Sect has already planned to destroy the Eastern Wasteland Demon Cave."
Divine Monk Pudu also spoke and mentioned the incident in the Eastern Wasteland Demon Cave.
"Even though the Eastern Wilderness Demon Cave is led by the Immortal Sect, I, the Buddhist Sect, can also share in the merits and great good deeds."
A few people nodded, and then said nothing.
And at the same time.
Daxia Kyoto.
After completing more than a hundred rituals.
Finally, it’s time to reach the last item.
coronation.
Inside the Imperial Palace of Daxia.
Gu Jinnian's canonization ceremony can be said to be unprecedented and the most ostentatious coronation. Emperor Yongsheng stood on the main road of the palace, with a red carpet on the ground, and five hundred eunuchs and maids each scattered flowers around Gu Jinnian.
The deafening drum beats in waves.
Countless people in Kyoto looked at it.
I was excited to watch this canonization ceremony with my own eyes.
Enter the palace.
Gu Jinnian was not in a hurry, and stopped when he was ten feet away from His Majesty.
"The Crown Prince of Great Xia, Gu Jinnian, defended the people's grievances, saved the people from the fire and water, and moved forward a step forward."
Wei Xian's voice sounded.
This is the last item, counting skills.
Anyone who is granted the title of king or prime minister must have meritorious service and have made contributions to the country, the country, and the country.
Gu Jinnian stopped ten feet away.
Every time you mention something, you can move forward a step.
When you arrive in front of Emperor Yongsheng.
Emperor Yongsheng picked up the jade crown, looked at Gu Jinnian and spoke slowly.
"In the year of Jin, today's canonization ceremony is also the day of crowning."
"You are the Crown Prince of Great Xia, but you have a pure heart and keep the people in your heart. You are an honest and honest official, and you are also a Confucian and Taoist scholar. Today I give you the word "Shou Xin".
"I hope you will keep your heart and act for the people in the future, and act for the prosperous age of Great Xia."
Emperor Yongsheng bestowed the title.
Although there is no culture, it is already the wish of Emperor Yongsheng.
As Emperor Yongsheng finished speaking, rays of light entered Gu Jinnian's body, including national destiny and public opinion, all of which disappeared into the tree of living beings.
at this time.
The voice of Emperor Yongsheng continued to sound.
"Today is the Lantern Festival."
"I will compose an impromptu poem."
After conferring words and crowning, Emperor Yongsheng spoke.
This is the part he is most looking forward to.
He is ready.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying."
"Weijiahai is returning to his hometown."
"There are strong men guarding the four sides."
A loud voice sounded.
Spread throughout Kyoto.
Although there was no strange phenomenon, no matter it was the civil and military officials, the soldiers, or the people of Kyoto, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
I didn’t expect His Majesty to be able to compose poetry?
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
It was at this time.
Gu Jinnian's voice sounded.
At that moment, a mighty voice also sounded.
The sound was deafening.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Yongsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his heart felt so happy.
This can be regarded as one of his few shining moments.
So cool.
So cool.
Emperor Yongsheng was extremely excited.
That's it.
The canonization ceremony is over.
As clusters of fireworks bloom in the sky, the Lantern Festival becomes completely lively.
There was great joy inside the palace, and there was great joy outside the palace.
This is one of the few auspicious days.
in this way.
In the blink of an eye.
Arrived the next day.
The third day of the first lunar month.
Several things also spread to Kyoto.
First, the Immortal Sect wants to attack the Eastern Wasteland Demon Cave once and for all.
Secondly, the eminent Buddhist monk Luo Ze was killed by Gu Jinnian, and no one in the ancient temple survived, causing great anger among Buddhists.
Thirdly, the Heavenly Supervisor came to report that the celestial phenomena had changed and something big might happen.
Fourth, there are folk rumors that the poems written by Emperor Yongsheng during the Marquis Ceremony were written by Gu Jinnian.
Fifth, Emperor Yongsheng unilaterally denounced the rumors and stated that he would prove his innocence.
Sixth, Emperor Yongsheng felt cold and rested in the palace.
