After receiving Xiao Cheng's promise to become an official, Guo Xie felt hot and hurriedly resigned.
Looking at his appearance, he really wanted to leave in person and go to Xia Kingdom to supervise his guards.
Xiao Cheng shook his head and was about to lean over to continue reviewing the memorial, but he remembered that this month's card had not been drawn yet.
With a thought in his mind, Golden Finger responded.
A huge golden turntable appeared and started spinning rapidly.
The four colors of gold, purple, blue and white were shining continuously. After a moment, Xiao Cheng's sight was suddenly filled with blue light.
A blue card jumped out from the spinning wheel and fell directly into Xiao Cheng's hands.

During the Gaozong period, he destroyed the Western Turks and conquered Goguryeo. After his death, he was granted the title of General of the Fuxing State and was buried with Zhao

Xiao Cheng shook his head slightly, let go of the blue training card in his hand with some disappointment, and let it shoot straight into the sky and dissipate in the air.
Speaking of Ashina Sheer and Qibi Heli, compared to their military achievements that were overshadowed by the famous general Xue Rengui, the most impressive thing about them should be that they heard that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty committed suicide and was buried after his death.
In the end, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty personally issued an order to persuade them and showed Emperor Taizong's will not to allow the two of them to commit suicide.
Out of gratitude for the kindness shown to them by successive emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Qibi Heli's descendants guarded the Qianling Mausoleum for generations. Even during the invasion of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, in order to protect the Qianling Mausoleum, they fought with the Yuan Dynasty army for a year, forcing the Yuan Dynasty to
In the end, the army had no choice but to make an oath under the city walls, not to take the soil from Qianling's cup, but only to cross the border.
Throughout the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even on the battlefields against the Japanese invaders in modern times, there were descendants of Qibi Heli.
It is quite touching to talk about the loyalty and pride that has lasted for thousands of years and has not faded.
After all, he is a general who has been recorded in history, and his attributes are pretty good. In critical moments, he can command partial armies for the generals to go into battle.
This was the first time Xiao Cheng heard that Gongren was capable of being a deputy general.
As for Yuchi Sheng, whose name seems to be the most anticipated, judging from his attributes, I'm afraid he's just a make-up...
There are quite a lot of people here, but for this attribute, for the current Xiao Cheng, it is really average, better than nothing.
Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng closed the golden finger panel, looked up at the pile of memorials that needed to be reviewed on the table, sighed with a headache, then lowered his head again and continued to review.
But not even a moment later, Feng Bao's voice was suddenly heard outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask you to see me!"
"Haha, it's a coincidence that today, one after another asked to see you..." Xiao Cheng raised his head, shook his head and muttered to himself, and then said loudly:
"Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Bao couldn't wait to open the door of the palace, walked in quickly, bowed and saluted:
"Your Majesty, a secret report from Dongchang Fanzi!"
After saying that, Feng Bao took out three confidential letters from his arms, walked forward slowly, held them in both hands and handed them to Xiao Cheng.
"Three copies? Where's the secret report?" Xiao Cheng frowned, took it quickly, and asked one more question.
Three secret letters came at once. Is it something important?
Is it the Xia Kingdom or something happened to the Li Dynasty?
When Feng Bao saw Xiao Cheng looking like this, he knew that he had misunderstood and quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be a big deal. This came from the Buddhist side. Liuhuai, Huili, and Zhimi all sent a secret letter."
When Xiao Cheng heard this, he paused slightly with his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Buddhist? What can happen over there?"
Although Buddhism still has a strong influence in Yun Country due to the 600-year-old practice of worshiping Buddha among the Yun people.
But today's Buddhism, after Xiao Cheng's several heavy blows and many plans, its strength has been greatly reduced.
Not to mention that three of the four leaders of the Buddhist sect are Xiao Cheng's people, let's just say that Dongchang had planted countless spies in the Buddhist sect through the identity of the remaining disciples of Ganye Temple.
Even if the Buddhist sect really has rebellious intentions, I am afraid that Xiao Cheng will know the news earlier than the monks.
So it's not that Xiao Cheng despises Buddhism, it's actually that he doesn't have enough strength in Buddhism now.
And when Xiao Cheng opened the secret message in his hand and glanced aside, his face was stunned for a moment, and then showed a rather strange look.
Three secret letters, all talking about the same thing.
It's just that all three of them reported to Dongchang secretly, so they sent three letters together.
In the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhism lost the first battle and was at a disadvantage.
In order to save the decline of Buddhism, Liuhuai and three people discussed a way to revive the prestige of Buddhism.
The general plot is as follows:
A sage king came out of our country, Dayun. Under his governance, the people of Dayun were rich in food and supplies, and the country was strong. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. They were not greedy and did not kill, and nourished their energy and potential. Although it was supremely true, everyone had a long life.
But in Tianzhu, because everyone did not practice virtue, they were greedy and happy with misfortune, killing many people. The Buddhist sect in Tianzhu was shocked when they learned that there was such a rich and powerful Buddhist country in the world as the Yun Kingdom, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and quickly sent monks
, came east to the Dayun Kingdom to seek Buddhist scriptures.
"..."
This familiar script made the corners of Xiao Cheng's eyes twitch slightly.
Good guy, I will hand it over to the novelist You Xingguang in a moment and ask him to write a Journey to the East!
If Xiao Cheng guessed correctly, the upcoming Tianzhu monk would definitely encounter some Taoist scum on the road who relied on martial arts to oppress the people.
These three people have been thinking about these crooked ways all day long. No wonder they are no match for the Taoist people who have just entered Yun Kingdom and are quite enterprising...
Xiao Cheng sighed with a headache, casually thrust three secret letters into Feng Bao's hands, and then said:
"Go and spread the news, saying that the king of Tianzhu admires me as the Great Cloud King, and has sent monks to bring the treasure of Tianzhu to offer it to me... Well, this treasure of Tianzhu must be priceless, it is... oops,
You can just make up a story and say that the king of a small country in the south was defeated and the country was destroyed. He will pass on the country's jade seal, massive treasures, um, and a map of peerless martial arts, which is hidden among the treasures presented, and is intended to be used as a treasure.
It is a treasure for the restoration of the country. By a strange combination of circumstances, the King of Tianzhu obtained this treasure."
Having said this, Xiao Cheng paused slightly and then said:
"Probably just make it up like this and then spread it as soon as possible!"
Since you want to be familiar with the script, then just follow it to the end! This level will make a whole Journey to the East!
When Feng Bao heard this, he looked stunned, a little confused.
He took the secret letter and read it quickly, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.
After a long time, he cautiously approached Xiao Cheng and asked:
"Your Majesty, don't you want to see this Tianzhu monk? As long as your Majesty speaks, my subordinates will make everything perfect!"
As Feng Bao spoke, he suddenly cut his palm down, showing a sinister expression.
Huge treasure, peerless martial arts. His Majesty inexplicably fabricated such exciting false news, and asked Dongchang to find a way to spread it. Wasn't it because he wanted to put that Tianzhu monk in danger?
Your Majesty just wants to kill someone, so why bother to mobilize so many troops?
Xiao Cheng shook his head and said:
"It's not for the purpose of killing people... Your Dongchang side will also send people to keep an eye on it. When the time comes, you will send people to covertly respond."
Feng Bao was a little confused. After reacting for a long time, he finally understood a little bit and said tentatively again:
"Your Majesty, do you want to use this to make Buddhism famous?"
Since it was not for killing people, the only reason for making such a big fuss was to secretly help Buddhism become famous.
Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice:
"I introduced Taoism because I wanted Buddhism and Taoism to fight each other. I didn't want Taoism to step on Buddhism's bald head and become the most influential religion in the Yun Kingdom, and repeat Buddhism's past in the future..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly showed a hint of helplessness and sighed:
"Among the people I selected, Hui Qi advocates transcendental practice. As long as Buddhism does not completely disappear, he thinks that I am helping Buddhism to remove the carrion and doesn't care at all. Liu Huai is like a straw bag with an empty stomach! Wisdom only has courage, but no brains.
Although Zhimi is quick-witted, he is just a little clever. If we continue to let him go like this, I am afraid that after a few debates on Buddhism and Taoism, Buddhism will be of little use!"
Because in Xiao Cheng's previous actions, he took advantage of the Buddhist rebellion to raid temples, and used various channels and means to expose the dark side of Buddhism.
These methods can greatly damage the glorious image of monks.
As a result, Buddhism's image in the Yun Kingdom has been greatly damaged, and there are also voices of criticism among civilian believers. Although its influence is not small, it all relies on the accumulation of six hundred years, and the situation is not optimistic.
As long as he loses a few more debates, the situation of Buddhism in the Yun Kingdom will completely collapse! At that time, Xiao Cheng will have to find a way to restrict Taoism.
I chose a straw bag, and I had to help even though I was gritting my teeth. The modern Ying Jiang could probably understand Xiao Cheng's mood at this time. Most of the people who supported him were things that couldn't stand up.
Xiao Cheng continued to speak:
"Although the methods these Liuhuai people think of are good, if they don't create momentum, they are just ordinary Tianzhu monks and barbarians. They can only be a topic of conversation among the people in the country after dinner, and they will not attract much attention at all!
"
Just like in Journey to the West, Monk Tang can live forever after eating meat.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the news has been released anyway, and the monsters believe it. Then they will catch a little monster on the road, and everyone will know that Tang Monk is going to the West to obtain the true scripture, and eating his flesh will make him immortal.
.
With this momentum, won’t the attention increase!
There is also the shocking body of UC. The actresses suddenly announced their divorce, and then immediately informed them that a new drama would be released. The violent comments that Western politicians talk about every day... It is the same routine at all times and in all countries!
When Feng Bao heard this, he couldn't help but think about the word "building momentum" over and over in his mind.
After a moment, Feng Bao reacted with admiration in his heart. He immediately bowed and flattered:
"What your Majesty is thinking about, I can't do it for you. Few kings in ancient and modern times can do it... Please don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go down and take care of it now!"
-------------------
In Zhongqing City, in a folk alley, women gathered in twos and threes by the water, chatting and washing clothes. A group of children ran past playfully, leaving behind family members who loudly told the children to slow down.
Then they turned around and chatted again.
The alley is not big, with open doors on both sides. Walking in the alley, you can see the houses on both sides when you turn around.
Compared to the palaces, power struggles, and wars, the smell of fireworks in this alley makes people feel inexplicably more at ease.
Xu Heng, a peasant disciple and the new chief registrar of Sinong Temple, was walking in the alley. He stepped aside and looked at a group of children running past. He shook his head slightly and showed a brisk smile on his face.
After walking a few more steps along the alley, they arrived in front of a closed courtyard door. Xu Heng stopped, knocked on the door lightly, and shouted:
"Brother Wu! Brother Wu, is he at home?"
Then he heard a soft sound inside the house. After a while, Wu Zixu opened the door with a bearded face, glanced at Xu Heng with red eyes, and then showed an excited smile and said:
"Brother Xu is back!"
No one would have thought that Wu Zixu, a sixth-rank official of the imperial court and newly appointed doctor of the Ministry of War, would live in such an ordinary alley.
When Wu Zixu fled from the Xia Kingdom to the Yun Kingdom, it was with the help of Xu Heng that he entered the Jixia Academy. During this period, Xu Heng also took great care of Wu Zixu, so the friendship between the two was quite strong.
good.
Xu Heng nodded and said with a smile:
"The Ailao people in the south have never learned how to farm, so Sinong Temple sent me there, which delayed me for a while..."
Having said this, Xu Heng paused slightly, looked at Wu Zixu in front of him, frowned and said:
"Brother Wu, why are you looking like this?"
When Wu Zixu heard this, his eyes showed excitement. He pulled Xu Heng into the room, pointed at the map of the world on the wall in the room, lowered his voice and said excitedly:
"The troops are about to be launched! Your Majesty is finally making plans to use troops, and my family's revenge can finally be avenged!"
