Chapter 1338: Negotiating with the Monarch
When the group rode away, Lian Luo was still quietly looking at Bai Ruozhu, or Jiang Yichun glared at him unhappily, and he realized that he had been watching other people's wives for too long, wasn't this a misunderstanding?
He touched his nose in embarrassment, coughed twice, and said, "Madame Bai can speak well, and I admire it." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Bai Ruozhu sneered, "It's just a quarrel between some women, and you men can't argue with her, but they fall behind." Didn't she like to pretend to be a good image in front of the people? I satisfied her and let her accompany her beloved husband, although she couldn't be cleaned up, but the people were thrown out of the city, and the great elder was temporarily missing a chess piece. ”
"Madam Yumo is a smart person, but she can't be underestimated, she doesn't give advice to the Great Elder on weekdays, and Madam Bai's move will definitely have a good impact on the situation in the future. Lian Jia said with a smile, and for a while he lost his previous serious appearance, as if he was friends with Bai Ruozhu.
Twilight Yu said proudly beside her: "Then Mrs. Yumo is a little smart, and our lady is a big wiser, and it's too early for her to fight with our wife." ”
The corners of Bai Ruozhu's mouth twitched, although she was very proud of Mrs. Yumo at the moment, but these boastful words can't be said to be like this, right? Wouldn't it make outsiders laugh.
Lian Jiao laughed, "This little brother is right, Bai Gongzi and Mrs. Bai are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and even the monarch is full of praise for the two. ”
Being praised like this, Bai Ruozhu was a little embarrassed, and secretly glared at Twilight Yu, he could get it.
The group dismounted at the palace gate, and then was led to the harem by Lian Jia, and the direction was the Qingyou Hall where Bai Ruozhu had been once.
Lian Jia was afraid that Jiang Yichun and the others would be surprised, and explained: "Tang Han Gongzi and they have been temporarily placed in the Qingyou Palace. ”
"Tang Han?" Bai Ruozhu was stunned, and then came back to his senses, this should be Chu Han's real name.
"It is the eldest son of Tang Gongzi. Lian Jia said that Tang Hui had a good reputation as the son of Tang Gui in the Western Regions.
Soon, after entering the quiet hall, Lian Jiao was about to report, but he didn't want to hear the hearty laughter of the monarch from the palace, everyone was stunned, and even the robe was not embarrassed to disturb the monarch's interest directly.
Bai Ruozhu squinted his eyes and glanced into the hall, thinking to himself how the monarch and Chu Han were so familiar, Chu Han didn't say it before, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to ask the monarch for help directly?
The monarch quickly noticed the people coming from outside the palace, smiled and beckoned to everyone, and said, "Come in, there are no outsiders here, and there is no need to be formal." ”
Having said that, everyone went in and saluted respectfully to the king.
Bai Ruozhu looked at Chu Han and saw that although his face was a little pale, he had no external injuries, so he was relieved.
And Chu Han also nodded slightly at her, indicating that he was fine.
He sat next to the king, and there was no distinction between dignity and inferiority, which showed that he got along very happily with the king.
"Gu only learned today that Chu Han was actually the eldest son of Brother Tang Hui, and once Gu thought that their father and son were killed in that fire, but Gu didn't help much. After speaking, the monarch explained: "When Gu was young, he and Tang Gui were friends, but later due to various reasons, we spent less and less time together. ”
In this way, Bai Ruozhu can understand that the monarch and the proton should be polite, but it is not good to become close friends, coupled with the dumping of the temple, it is normal for the monarch to not have much contact with Tang Hui later, so Chu Han was not sure that the monarch could help them at first.
Jiang Yichun saluted the monarch and said: "We are all friends of Chu Han, the purpose of this trip must have been known by the monarch, this time I came only to help my friends, not to involve state affairs, please don't misunderstand." ”
Now he can say anything, but he can't mention that it is the will of the emperor of Danliang to find Fengwan, otherwise he will reveal the secrets of the heavenly family.
Chu Han naturally wouldn't mention that, and Jiang Yichun's words could be regarded as direct ventilation between the two parties.
The monarch sighed and said, "I won't tell you, Lone can indeed contact Master Liu Feng, but you must be very cautious, the great elder of the temple has been looking for her all these years, wanting to harm her, Lone can't bear to put Master Liu Feng in danger, she is kind to Lone, and has saved Lone's life more than once." ”
Saying that, he sighed helplessly, "Even if you find Master Liu Feng, but the temple is so powerful, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave the Western Regions." ”
Jiang Yichun naturally understood what the monarch meant, arched his hand and said: "Since the temple wants to harm us, we can only ask the monarch for help, or we can help the monarch fight against the temple, and we have nothing else to ask for afterwards, just to be able to leave the Western Regions safely with our friends." ”
The monarch had been hesitating, he thought for a while and asked, "What are you doing to help Shanggu?"
They were just a caravan, but there were dozens of people at most, and they weren't an army, could he really rely on their help to overthrow the Templars?
Jiang Yichun laughed, "The monarch can't be forced to go to the temple, he can only outwit it, even if he suppresses the temple with military force, but the temple has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if he is not careful, he may cause public anger and lose the hearts of the people." ”
The monarch couldn't help but think of the time when Qing Lian was burned at the stake, he could have saved Qing Lian, but hundreds of people stood on the side of the temple, which led to the failure of the final mission.
Jiang Yichun looked at the monarch's expression, and knew that he was trapped in memories again, and he paced and continued: "So if the monarch wants to fight against the temple, he must slowly figure it out. ”
"How long can you stay in the Western Regions?" the monarch smiled bitterly, he could see that this group of people did not defect to the Western Regions, otherwise they would have asked for an additional official and a knighthood from the beginning, so why talk about cooperation?
"It won't be too long, but as long as the first step is done, the rest will not be a problem. Jiang Yichun continued, "There is nothing wrong with the people believing in the temple, just like the people of the Danliang Kingdom believe in Buddhism, but these temples and Taoist temples will not affect the power of the state. The temple was used by some people and went down the evil path, but I heard that the temple is not only the faction of the Great Elder, but also the Second Elder and other real disciples?"
"Why doesn't the monarch support the second elder and other true disciples to control the temple, the pious disciples are dedicated to cultivation, and will not play with power like the great elder and others, and then the monarch is slowly controlling, and gradually compressing the control of the temple in the next few years, can it?"
The monarch said with some worry: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but what if the second elder also becomes the second great elder in the future?"
"So what? As long as the Second Elder is supported and the temple is divided, after such a change, the strength of the temple will naturally be reduced, and the royal family and nobles will have a chance to slowly figure it out. This time it was Bai Ruozhu who opened his mouth, "And if the second elder wants to become as powerful as the Great Elder, it will definitely take a certain amount of time, as long as His Majesty the monarch controls it properly, a few years is enough time to change the situation." ”
