Early the next morning, the Che Chi Country's army set off for the capital, and I naturally followed under the banner of the Great Tang's envoy. It was a pity that when I arrived at Che Chi Country, there was a lively group of people. When I entered the capital, there was only me and the White Dragon Horse alone, a horse and a carriage. The most tragic thing is that the valuable things in the carriage have already entered Xiao Longnu Ao Jiao's pocket. I am now penniless.
Before leaving, under the lead of General Tao Mingwu, everyone bowed and knelt in the direction of the burnt Vairocana Temple. Although I didn't know what was going on, I followed them and saluted.
Tao Mingwu shouted in front of the entire army,"Daoist Feng Yi, five years ago, there was a plague in Che Chi Country. You sacrificed your life to treat the people of Che Chi Country and saved countless lives. You treat wealth like dirt. You don't take a single cent from the people's gifts. You don't accept the king's rewards at all. I didn't expect you to die in the hands of a villain. The heavens are really blind! Fortunately, I have led the army to kill the enemy. Your soul can rest in heaven.”
Tao Mingwu's face was already covered in tears. The soldiers weren't any better. Most of them had tears in their eyes, and some were even crying loudly. The surrounding commoners who were watching the show were already crying.
When I saw this, my nose felt sour and my eyes felt hot. Although I've never met Old Daoist Feng Yi, I'm extremely jealous of him. If a person can gain so much respect from everyone, then his death is worth it. If I die, will anyone respect me so much?
……
"General Tao, what kind of people are your three Imperial Advisors? The little monk heard the people praising them, but the bald monk hated them to the bone. You and them are officials of the same palace, so you are much more familiar with them. Who do you think they are?”Along the way, I deliberately tried to build a good relationship with Tao Mingwu and asked about the situation of Che Chiguo and the other two Imperial Preceptor.
When mentioning Che Chiguo and the other two state preceptors, Tao Mingwu hesitated. After a while, he said,""The three state preceptors are all good people. They stopped the bald donkey from building the temple and did a good thing for the people. It was even rarer that they were incorruptible like water and never used their high positions to plunder the people's wealth. It's just, it's just…"
"What is it? Is there something you can't tell a foreigner?”I asked.
Tao Mingwu hesitated for a long time before saying,"It was the three national masters who wanted to eliminate all the monks in the world. They advised His Majesty to send troops to crusade against the surrounding countries that established Buddhism as their national religion. I strongly opposed it, so I had some conflicts with the three Imperial Advisors.”
"You are a general. Leading troops to war is a good opportunity for you to be promoted and make a fortune. Why do you still object?" I interrupted Tao Mingwu curiously.
"Brother Tang Emperor, you may not know this, but our country built a temple two years ago, and our national strength has declined greatly. In addition, our country is small and the people are poor. How can we start a war with several countries? And among them is your Great Tang.”Tao Mingwu looked up at the sky, his expression gloomy.
I immediately understood that for the sake of Daoism, the three national teachers of Che Chi Country had come up with such a crazy plan! People of insight naturally objected, including Tao Mingwu.
I thought of another problem. This Tao Mingwu had led his troops here. The three national masters of Che Chiguo wouldn't have thought that the Buddhist Sect would secretly help the guardian monk soldiers, but they didn't come personally to fight them. In reality, they were sending this Tao Mingwu to his death. Borrowing the monk's knife to kill Tao Mingwu. If I hadn't interfered in this matter, I'm afraid that Tao Mingwu would have died in the hands of Old Ah San's men.
Thinking of this, I had a general idea." General Tao, you don't have to worry too much. When I see your king, whether it's for the people of your country or for the Great Tang, I will do my best to stop this matter.”
Tao Mingwu's eyes lit up." Brother Tang Emperor, is that true?”
I solemnly put my palms together." Really! No matter what, I have to stop it."
Tao Mingwu held my hand excitedly." Brother Tang Emperor, with your status, my king will definitely consider your words. I'll leave everything to you. I thank you on behalf of the millions of living beings in Che Chi Country.”
"No need to thank me. If you let go of my hand, my hand will break. Ouch…!"
In the next few days when I returned to the capital of Chi Country, I was much more relaxed. I had more than a thousand years of knowledge than them. I casually brought out a modern term and shocked them. Needless to say, the Che Chi Country's army has served me well. In order to make it easier for me, the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, to convince their king, Tao Mingwu answered all my questions. I quickly figured out the specific situation of the three state preceptors, especially their personalities. Although these three guys were cultivators, they had their own preferences. The Grand Tutor Tiger King was the one who killed the former Grand Tutor with the Five Thunder Technique. He was the most lecherous person. Fortunately, he never snatched women by force, so he was better than the monk. Tao Mingwu didn't know what Second Imperial Advisor Lu Li and Third Imperial Advisor Yang Hong were capable of, but Lu Li liked wine and Yang Hong liked delicious food.
I sat in the carriage, thinking about how to make use of their weaknesses. With the Wishful Ring in my hand, it was very convenient to make arrangements. I contacted Grand Supreme Elder and scolded him. That guy apologized to me again and again and promised that he would not send anyone to monitor me again. Only then did I forgive him. As for the three magic treasures in my body, it doesn't matter to me anyway. I can't be bothered to find trouble with him. Finally, I instructed him to prepare the things I wanted. He quickly prepared them and sent them over. We both tacitly didn't mention that the Jade Emperor had roped in Lu Ya and me to capture my disciple. I don't trust the Grand Supreme Elder anymore. After all, he and Lu Ya are both Taoist priests.
Finally, the capital of Che Chi Country could be seen from afar. At this moment, Tao Mingwu walked to my side." Brother Tang Emperor, I've already sent someone to report that Your Majesty has come to our country. Just now, the messenger reported that the king of our country attached great importance to it and personally led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome it. Brother Tang Emperor, you're really a big shot.”
I laughed bitterly." General Tao, don't make fun of me. It's my brother's face that's bigger, not mine.”After saying that, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
I patted Tao Mingwu." Remember, no matter what I say later, you can't refute. I want to build a good relationship with your state preceptor. It would be even better if I could persuade them.”
Tao Mingwu nodded firmly.”
Some people, even if you see them for the first time, you know who they are. The three Taoist priests standing in the second row had the same feeling as me. The way they looked at me, who was wearing a monk's robe, was like a viper looking at a frog.
As for others, you wouldn't be able to believe their identity just by looking at their appearance. The King of Che Chi Kingdom's appearance was just like my impression of him, a weak appearance. If I hadn't learned from Tao Mingwu that he was only forty-six years old, I would have suspected that he was a dying old man in his seventies or eighties. The deep wrinkles on his forehead proved how difficult it was for him to be king. I understood his difficulties. It was indeed not a good feeling to be sandwiched between monks and Taoists.
"Tang Emperor's younger brother, I only know today that Tang Emperor's younger brother is here. I hope Tang Emperor's younger brother can forgive me for my rudeness.”The king of the Che Chi Kingdom took the initiative to bow to me while trembling.
Without waiting for me to be polite, a tall Taoist priest in a yellow robe came out from the three Taoist priests standing behind him. "Your Majesty, you have a body of ten thousand gold. Why do you have to bow to the bald monk?”
The king of Che Chi Country was speechless by his question and could not speak for a long time.
"This is the Tiger King Imperial Advisor, right? I'm the younger brother of the Tang Emperor, but I'm not a bald donkey or a monk.”I saw him come out to speak first. I guess he's the boss of the three-the Tiger King.
The Tiger King was surprised." You know me? You're wearing the clothes of a bald monk. If you're not a bald monk, then what are you?”
"Right, big brother said it well. If you're not a bald donkey, what are you?”A Taoist priest in a maroon robe called out. I guessed he was Deer Li. "You're still wearing a bald donkey hat. You must be a bald donkey!”This was said by the other white-robed man. I think he should be Yang Hong.
As for the pitiful King of Che Chi Country, he allowed his subjects to be arrogant and did not even dare to let out a fart.
I smiled and took off my monk hat, revealing my hair that was more than an inch long." Please take a look, Imperial Masters. Am I a bald donkey?”
The three Taoist priests stared at my head for a long time. Finally, the tiger king asked,"If you're not a bald monk, then why are you wearing the clothes of a bald monk?”
Thus, my scaring technique came into effect again. In general, it was still planted by the bald donkeys of Vairocana Buddha Temple. They forced me to join them and forced me to wear the clothes of the bald donkeys. As for how I was in Cao's camp, my heart was in Han, and how I assisted the army of Che Chi Country to eliminate the bald donkeys.
Even so, the three Taoist priests still didn't quite believe me. Fortunately, although they didn't get along with Tao Mingwu, they still trusted his character a little. They pulled him to the side and asked him about my background in detail. Tao Mingwu had my instructions beforehand, so his answer was perfect.
The three Taoist priests finally believed me. They gave me one last test and asked me to eat meat.
"Brother Tang Emperor, to prove that you're not a bald donkey, please eat pork for us to see," said Yang Hong, who was wearing a white robe. Come on, bring me the braised pork and serve it to my brother."”
Should I consider hiring a few chefs in Che Chiguo? The braised pork in this country was indeed delicious.
Before I could make a decision, the three Taoist priests had already pulled me affectionately." Brother Tang Emperor, please don't take it to heart. I have offended you just now."”"Little brother Yu, I can only drink three cups of wine as punishment for what happened just now.”"Brother Yu, don't say anything else. Tonight, I'll treat you to a meal at Li Chun Court.”
The pitiful King of Che Chi Country finally had to speak,"Three Imperial Advisors, in my opinion, we should welcome the Tang Emperor's younger brother into the city first.”
In the magnificent but slightly dilapidated palace of Che Chi Country, the pitiful king of Che Chi Country had prepared a sumptuous banquet to welcome me. At the banquet, the King of the Che Chi Kingdom first said a bunch of nonsense about how he hoped that the Che Chi Kingdom and the Great Tang would be on good terms for ten thousand years and that the friendship between the two countries would last forever. Then he suggested that all the civil and military officials present raise their glasses to celebrate Tao Mingwu's victory with me. The show that I had meticulously planned officially began.
I pretended to be in high spirits as I picked up my wine glass. As soon as I took a sip, my expression immediately darkened. He frowned and put down his wine glass. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of food. He put it into his mouth and immediately spat it out. He looked like he couldn't stand it.
My act attracted the attention of the King of Che Chi Country and the three Taoists. Tao Mingwu knew my purpose and didn't say anything. The king of Che Chi Country said with trepidation,""Brother Tang Emperor, the food in a small country is crude and naturally not as exquisite as the Great Tang Empire.”
The second brother Lu Li smiled apologetically." Brother Tang Emperor, this wine is the best wine in Chechi Kingdom. Our king didn't hide anything."”
Third Brother Yang Hong said," Brother Tang Emperor, I think the wine you tasted just now is of the highest quality. My second brother likes wine the best, and he can't stop praising it." Could it be that Tang Emperor's brother is still not satisfied?"
I didn't answer them. I turned to Tao Mingwu and said,"General Tao, please order someone to bring the wine from my carriage.”He then turned around and said to the King of Che Chi Country, Lu Li, and Yang Hong,"Everyone, please wait a moment. I've brought some fine wine from the Great Tang.”
Yang Hong was right. This wine was indeed very good. Unfortunately, the ancient retorting technique was not good, and any wine was very light. For someone like me who was used to drinking modern Erguotou, it was naturally not strong enough. I grasped this point and asked Grand Supreme Elder to follow my instructions to make a batch of wine that shouldn't have appeared at this time. I used this to build a good relationship with the three Taoist priests and Imperial Preceptor.
