In the Great Liao Palace, it is the dead of night at this moment, and in the main hall, Yelu Hongji, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, is unable to sleep, tossing and turning, but the graceful concubine next to him is sleeping soundly.

He got up and walked outside the palace gate, where the little eunuch Xiao Lizi was guarding the door, and when he saw the emperor coming out, he hurriedly saluted.

Yelu Hongji waved and said: "No need, you kid is clever, you think of an idea for me, you said that I will inevitably stay all night these days, there are always ghosts doing things, it is really difficult to sleep, you said that I built a Buddhist hall, why didn't the Buddha protect me?" ”

Xiao Lizi said: "Back to the emperor, you are the true dragon son of heaven, with a real dragon body, it is difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close, that ghost must be a resentful ghost with deep grievances, I am afraid that the Buddha will not be able to easily exorcise this ghost." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, so what do you say I should do?" ”

Xiao Lizi said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a monk in Zhongjing recently, who is a monk of Fengfu Temple in Nanjing, named Daoyuan, who claims to be able to exorcise ghosts and subdue demons, which is very powerful, and he said that this time he is here to repay the emperor for building a temple, why not invite him to try." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and said, "Then hurry up and let him come to see me, in this way, tomorrow, I will see him in the side hall, and this matter will be handed over to you, if you do it well, I will be rewarded." ”

Xiao Li Zi smiled, and said flatteringly: "It is the duty of a slave to be able to do things for the emperor, how dare you ask for any reward." ”

Yelu Hongji said: "Your little eunuch is not bad, okay, I'll go back to sleep, you call the other eunuchs to be on duty, you go and do this for me, hurry up." ”

Xiao Lizi nodded hurriedly and went.

Yelu Hongji yawned and went back to sleep.

The next day, Yelu Hongji met Daoyuan in his side hall, Daoyuan was still wearing the same gorgeous Taoist robe, walking on that little short leg, dragging his fat body, a pair of small eyes dripping around, looking around.

When Yelu Hongji saw this person, he frowned, shook his head and said to Xiao Lizi who was standing next to him: "The person you are looking for is him?" He doesn't have a bit of a master's demeanor. ”

Daoyuan didn't care, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people can't look good, and he can't fight in the sea." What do you say? ”

Yelu Hongji was a little disappointed, and said impatiently: "Since you are invited, I will talk to you." ”

Daoyuan said suddenly: "Your Majesty, I have already figured out why you came to me, are you haunted by ghosts?" And I know which ghost it is. ”

Yelu Hongji became a little interested and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Daoyuan said: "Your Majesty, is it the queen Xiao Sese?" ”

Yelu Hongji was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "How do you know?" ”

Daoyuan said indifferently: "Your Majesty, didn't I tell you, I calculated it." ”

"Your Majesty, I don't hide it, I was enlightened by the Buddha when I was a child, I know the Dharma, the emperor built a Buddhist hall in the city of Nanjing Xijinfu, the Buddha was inspired, and I dreamed last night, saying that the emperor was haunted by evil ghosts, and it was a rare ghost in the world."

Yelu Hongji clasped his hands together and said reverently: "The Buddha has appeared, the Buddha said nothing, what should I do?" ”

Daoyuan said: "Your Majesty, there is a strange bird in the north, named Hai Dongqing, vicious and abnormal, specializing in feeding on evil ghosts, you can find a Hai Dongqing, and you will be able to drive away ghosts." ”

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It's really the Buddha's manifestation, the Buddha's manifestation."

Xiao Lizi, you have merit, I have promoted you to my deputy head of internal affairs, responsible for my food, clothing and daily life. ”

Xiao Lizi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Yelu Hongji looked at Daoyuan and said, "Little Lizi, reward Master Daoyuan with 100 taels of silver, and take him to the back garden to pick some fresh fruits." ”

Daoyuan knelt down and said: "The emperor is really a wise man through the ages, he is benevolent, and even the Buddha blesses you." ”

Yelu Hongji smiled and said a little proudly: "You can speak, I like it very much, so let's leave you by your side to be a Zen master in front of you!" ”

Daoyuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said, "Go down all of you." ”

Daoyuan and Xiao Lizi hurried down.

Coming out of the main hall, Xiao Lizi asked from afar: "How did the master calculate the emperor's mind, don't tell me that you calculated it." ”

Daoyuan smiled and said: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, I heard that there is a Spring Festival Building in Datong Mansion in Zhongjing, and the beauty there is a real sign, which is much more standard than the beauty in Nanjing." ”

Xiao Lizi smiled and said: "You are really a flower monk, okay, I promise you, I know the old bustard there very well, but you have to tell me how you know." ”

When Daoyuan heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Actually, it's nothing, didn't you tell me that the emperor is haunted by ghosts, and he is still a resentful ghost, these years, there are resentments against the emperor, isn't the deepest resentment the queen Xiao Sese, who else can there be, as for Hai Dongqing, I just heard of it." ”

Xiao Li Zi said flatteringly: "Master Daoyuan, there is really you, go, I will take you there." ”

At this time, Daoyuan's disciple Huiming came over and said to the master with a smile, "Master, how is it?" ”

Daoyuan smiled and said, "It's done, hand me the hat, our master and apprentice should also go to the free at night." ”

Dao Ming's senior brother Dao Yuan and his disciple Hui Ming changed into civilian clothes, wore a hat, and followed Xiao Lizi, who was dressed in casual clothes, to a brothel.

Hui Ming said with a lewd smile: "Master, that Chunxiang and Qiuxiang are really beautiful, we didn't bring enough silver taels last time, we must buy them this time." ”

Daoyuan's eyes narrowed into a slit, and he smiled lewdly: "Yes, this time it must be like this, we have money, when the time comes, that Chunxiang will be given to you, and I will have a good time with that Qiuxiang lady."

The two of them walked into the brothel with a lewd smile, but they didn't look like a monk at all.

Not to mention how the two masters and apprentices were lustful, but Xiao Lizi, who was dressed in plain clothes, appeared in Xiao Fengxian's mansion in the middle of the night, Xiao Hege and Xiao Fengxian, who were dressed in black gorgeous clothes, sat on both sides of the first place, drinking freshly brewed tea, and the fragrance of tea in the house was overflowing.

Xiao Lizi stood below, bowed down with a flattering face and said, "Two adults." ”

Xiao Fengxian said: "Xiao Lizi, this is the Minister of State, Lord Xiao. ”

Xiao Lizi said with a smile on his face: "Lord Xiao is the minister of the humerus in the court, and it is really a blessing to be able to see him today." ”

Yelu Yan smiled and said, "You little eunuch can speak. ”

Xiao Fengxian nodded and said, "Say, how did things go this time?" ”

Xiao Lizi said: "This time Master Daoyuan told the emperor's fortune, saying that the emperor was disturbed by the ghost of the queen Xiao Sese, and the emperor was convinced that only Hai Dongqing could dispel the ghosts, Daoyuan won a lot of rewards, and was appointed as the imperial Zen master, and I was also promoted to the position of deputy head of internal affairs."

But this Daoyuan is really a flower monk, if you have to go to the Spring Festival Building, I also have a lot of money. Xiao Lizi complained with an aggrieved face.

Xiao Fengxian smiled and said: "Xiao Lizi, you did a good job, as for those things in Daoyuan, they are all small things, this time the emperor entrusted you two with a heavy responsibility, it is really your honor, here are 200 taels of silver, you take it." In the future, as long as you do things well, the reward will be indispensable to you. ”

Xiao Lizi took it with a smile on his face and looked at the silver in his hand with a smile.

At this time, Xiao Fengxian's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "However, if you dare to eat inside and out, I can lift you up from a little eunuch, and I can also pull you down, understand?"

Xiao Lizi was startled, and hurriedly knelt down in a panic and said, "My lord, you are Mingjian, I ...... I...... I've always been loyal to you. ”

Xiao Fengxian nodded and said, "I know, you go out and do your job well." ”

Xiao Lizi nodded hurriedly and bowed out.

Wait until Xiao Lizi goes out.

Yelu Yan said happily: "Fengxian, I really didn't misunderstand you, you did a great job in this step, we so skillfully placed two people next to the emperor, it's really wonderful, I didn't expect that the monk who is not good-looking is really okay." ”

Xiao Fengxian smiled and said: "The adults have praised it, Fengxian can have this achievement is all the mention of adults, and Fengxian will never forget the adult's support for the rest of his life." ”

"My lord, I just heard Xiao Li Zi say that Daoyuan said that Hai Dongqing can exorcise ghosts, and the emperor will definitely say this at tomorrow's court meeting, this is a great merit, but it can't be robbed by that Xiao Wuna." Xiao Fengxian said seriously.

Yelu Yan frowned and said: "Haidongqing is originally a totem of the Jurchens, and that Xiao Wuna has just returned from the Jurchens, and the closest cities to the Jurchens, Ningchuan Prefecture and Huanglong Mansion, are all in charge of Xiao Wuna's subordinates, how can we get Hai Dongqing?" ”

Xiao Feng thought for a while and said: "My lord, I have a plan, I heard that Xiao Wuna is planning to unite with the largest Jurchen tribe, the Sushilie tribe, to deal with the Wanyan tribe that he said was going to rebel, I am afraid that this rebellion is nonsense, and it is clearly the despicable behavior of Xiao Wuna who wants to take sole control of the Jurchen power."

We can write a letter to the Wanyan tribe, explain the situation, and let them enter the Haidongqing, and we will play to the emperor tomorrow, after saying that the Yan tribe has been instructed by the Buddha to want to offer Haidongqing to the emperor, the emperor will be happy.

Xiao Wuna only said in the court a few days ago that the Yan tribe wanted to rebel, and the Hai Dongqing sent by the Yan tribe, and it was instructed by the Buddha, Xiao Wuna will inevitably lose his prestige. ”

Yelu Yan nodded and said: "Fengxian is really resourceful, this time Xiao Wuna will inevitably cause the emperor to be dissatisfied, but we are now telling the emperor, what if the Wanyan tribe does not agree to the sacrifice?" ”

Xiao Fengxian shook his head and said: "No, we just need to explain the reason, then the Wanyan tribe will not only sacrifice Haidongqing, but also be grateful to us, and then we will have a sharp knife in Xiao Wuna's territory." ”

Yelu Yan nodded, and the two looked at each other, and they both laughed.

Yelu Yan said: "Xiao Wuna, this old horseman, has come to make things difficult for me in every way on weekdays, investigated and dealt with my 7 cronies, and wanted to take the opportunity to bring me down, this time he must make him suffer a big loss."

Feng Xian, you can write a letter for me now, and send it to the Wanyan tribe immediately. It's not too early today, so I'll take my leave. Jeruyan got up and said

Xiao Fengxian also stood up and bowed down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, go slowly." ”
