There is a Buddhist temple in the southwest direction of Shizhao Capital Chengye, which is called Dabao. The incense of Dabao Temple is extremely prosperous, and thousands of people often come to worship the Buddha every day. Not only that, Dabao Temple is the largest and most famous of the hundreds of temples in Hebei. It is the center of Buddhism in Hebei.

The people of the national clan relied on themselves and the same clan as Emperor Hu, and they did mischief in Yecheng all day long, causing trouble. But he didn't dare to make trouble here. In the Great Treasure Temple, there is a high monk named Buddha Tucheng. Even if he is as arrogant as Shi Xuan, and as domineering as Shi Tao in the face of Buddha Tucheng, he will be honored as a master, or more cordially, he will be honored as the eldest father. (Shi Hu served Buddha Tucheng with a nephew.) )

Dabao Temple was built 20 years ago, it is the first Hu Huang Shile of Shi Zhao, and it was built to repay the grace of the high monk Buddha Tucheng. The size of Dabao Temple is very large, and it took Shile tens of thousands of craftsmen to complete it after four years. A year after the completion of the Dabao Temple, Emperor Hu Shile was hung. Buddha Tucheng, who had been awarded the title of national teacher by Emperor Hu, came to Dabao Temple with hundreds of disciples to live in seclusion.

Wait until Emperor Hu Shi Hu killed Shi Le's son Shi Hong to succeed him. Because Buddha Tucheng had defended him many times in front of Shi Le before, Shi Hu had great respect for Buddha Tucheng. He also invited Buddha Tucheng to be born as an official many times, but he was all shirked by Buddha Tucheng on the grounds of his advanced age. However, Hu Huang Shihu was not angry, and often came to visit.

Today's Dabao Temple is different from the usual stream of pilgrims. The front of the door is very deserted, there is not a single person who petitions and worships the Buddha, not only that, but also the inside and outside are covered with armored guards, and they are heavily guarded. The large and small novices in the temple have lost their former calm and leisure. I became trembling. Because the man came.

At the back of the temple, there is a large meditation room. At this time, there were dozens of tall Qiang guards standing outside the meditation room, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids. A young novice with clear eyebrows came over with a box of food and a pot of wine. However, his expression was a little reluctant, and there was a hint of fear and fear. (Before the Southern Liang Dynasty, monks were allowed to eat meat and drink wine.) )

Walking to the meditation room, the little novice said to a richly dressed eunuch:

"Amitabha, the donor, the little monk was ordered to come to send some food to the master and His Majesty, and I hope the donor will do something."

The gorgeous eunuch did not deliberately embarrass the little novice, and said to him: "The little master should know the rules!" ”

"Trouble! Donor. The little novice handed the wine and food box to the gorgeous eunuch.

How could the food given to that person not be checked? I don't know how many people in the north want that life.

The ornate eunuch took someone to inspect them for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem with the food and wine, he returned them to the little novice, and said to the little novice:

"Let's go inside!"

After thanking him, he slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

……

Except for the golden statue of the Buddha in the center, there is no gold and jade decoration in the meditation room. But the furniture, beds, etc., are made of purple trembling wood. Obviously, this meditation room is also expensive.

In the center of the meditation room, there is a small case, and there is a person kneeling on both sides of the small case, one of them is kind and kind-eyed, with a gray beard, and some fairy bones. He is the famous monk Buddha Tucheng of the two Jin Dynasty. He is one hundred and seventeen years old this year, and he is the leader of Buddhism in the entire Hebei Province and the national teacher of Later Zhao.

On the other side of the small case, there is a fat man of more than 300 pounds, with a fierce face and exuding anger all over his body, but he can't hide the trace of sickness between his eyebrows. This dead fat man is Hou Zhao Tianwang, the ultimate perverted murderer Shi Hu of a generation.

Liu Ye's little lover is very perverted, but that is what he likes to slash people on the battlefield, flirt with little girls when he has nothing to do in the house, and beat people or something. But he and Shi Hu broke out weakly. During Shi Hu's reign, he perfectly explained to people what a tyrant is. He has all the qualities of a tyrant, such as arrogance and lasciviousness, recklessness, cruelty and killing.

During his reign, the Han Chinese in the north were more than half. And it is still showing a state of negative growth every year. The number of Hu people in the north has even surpassed that of the Han Chinese.

At this time, Shi Hu may have been kneeling for too long, or perhaps because he was too obese. Giving up kneeling, he sat directly on the mat.

The little novice who came in didn't dare to look at Shi Hu, and said with some fear: "Your Majesty, Master." Eating is coming. ”

"Bring it in!" Shi Hu said casually, and the rough voice made Xiao Shami uncomfortable.

"No!"

After receiving the order, the little novice put the food in the food box on the small table with some trembling. This made Shi Hu next to him very unhappy, and Shi Hu was dissatisfied:

"Little novice, you didn't do anything wrong, what are you shaking?"

Shi Hu's words startled Xiao Shami. The nervous little novice knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.

This made Shi Hu feel very unhappy, and for those who made Shi Hu unhappy, death was the lightest punishment.

"Someone!" Shihu Road.

The little novice begged for mercy even more. Keep kowtowing, and the blood on your forehead comes out

However, at a critical time, it was Buddha Tucheng who helped Xiao Shami to relieve the siege, after all, Xiao Shami was one of his favorite disciples.

Buddha Tucheng smiled: "Hui'an (the Dharma name of the little novice) was taken by His Majesty's domineering spirit, so he was so panicked. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me! ”

After listening to Buddha Tucheng's explanation, Shi Hu's mood improved a lot. As for the life or death of a little novice, he didn't care at all. Let go of the little novice, and the right should give Buddha Tucheng a face, after all, Shi Hu still respects Buddha Tucheng.

"For the sake of the national teacher's face, spare you, get out!"

The little novice on the ground thanked him and crawled out of the ground.

After Xiao Shami left, Shi Hu asked a little nervously: "National teacher, how many days are left in Lonely." Let's be honest! ”

In addition to being a high monk, Buddha Tucheng is also a divine doctor. Shi Hu was treated by him when he was sick.

Buddha Tucheng thought for a moment and said, "Two years! Or shorter! ”

Shi Hu then asked: "Is there any way to alleviate or prolong life!" "No one wants to die, and Shi Hu hasn't enjoyed enough of this fairy-like day.

Buddha Tucheng sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Be calm, quit anger, stop drinking, quit sex, quit meat, rest more, and take the medicine prepared by Lao Ke on time, you can prolong your life for ten years." ”

"What is the difference between living without pleasure and dying?" After listening to Buddha Tucheng's healing method, Shi Hu was in a low mood and a little sluggish.

"Doctor Taizhong, Xu Xiao asks to see you." Just then, there was a plea of people outside the door.

"Come in for Lone!" Shi Hu, who was in a bad mood, shouted angrily.

"Oops!" This was Xu Xiao's first thought. As a favored minister who was in constant contact with Shi Hu, Xu Xiao certainly knew how terrible this Majesty was when he got angry. I regret it a little in my heart, I knew that I wouldn't have charged so much money.

But now that he has been summoned by Shi Hu, he doesn't dare to run away if he is given ten guts, this is the master who said that if he kills your whole family, he will kill your whole family.

Xu Xiao could only push open the door and walk in. However, he was familiar with Shi Hu's character, and he did not show any timid behavior, just like usual.

I don't know if it's because Shi Hu has been in the army for a long time, Shi Hu especially hates weak courtiers, the weaker you are, the faster you die, the more you beg for mercy, the worse you die. Of course, if you are tough, it will not end well. Generally, when the ministers met Shi Hu, they had to grasp a degree between weakness and toughness. Obviously, Xu Ji is doing well.

"Minister Xu Xiao greets Your Majesty and wishes my lord a long life and a thousand years old." Xu Xiao saluted with a glance, just like usual, there was no difference. It's just that the palms of my hands are full of sweat. But it was blocked by the wide official uniform, and it couldn't be seen.

"Get up! What are you doing here? Anything important? Shi Hu asked.

Xu Xiao stood up after thanking him, but he didn't reply immediately, but turned his head to look at Buddha Tucheng.

Shi Hu understood what Xu Xiao meant, and said calmly: "Say it!" The national teacher is not an outsider. ”

"No!"

"At today's court meeting, Duke Qin (Shi Tao) dismissed the Wei County Taishou of Shiqiao, a countryman, from his post for accepting bribes. Qinghe Cui Yue was recommended to succeed him. Xu Xiao reported.

Shi Hu was already sick and had no extra energy to deal with daily government affairs. But I am afraid that the prince will take the opportunity to seize power and plot the throne (Hu people are cold by nature, and it is even more common for children to kill their fathers. Shi Hu killed his uncle's son to ascend to the throne of the Heavenly King. The former crown prince, that is, Shi Hu's eldest son Shi Di, also had a coup d'état, but was suppressed by Shi Hu in time. )。 So he supported Qin Gong Shi Tao to compete with the crown prince Shi Xuan. It is used to maintain the balance of power between the DPRK and China in his absence. At the same time, Shi Hu also installed many cronies in the middle of the court to report to him in a timely manner. Xu Xiao is one of them.

"The crime of taking bribes? Amusing! Shi Hu said disdainfully. Bribery? Which of the ministers of the DPRK and China does not take bribes. In Shi Hu's opinion, this is not a problem.

"Lone remembers that Ishibashi is Jiro (Shi Xuan)'s person, right?" Shi Hu then asked.

"Yes! King. Ishibashi is the prince's henchman, and Ishibashi's sister is the prince's side room. Xu Xiao said.

"Then why didn't Erlang maintain the stone bridge, and did Erlang's people in the court become decorations?" Shi Hu asked with some excitement.

"The prince tried his best to defend it, but somehow, the ministers who usually follow the prince have a somewhat ambiguous attitude today. In addition, because Qin Gong nominated Cui Yue, he received the support of many neutral families. The prince is a little lonely! Xu Xiao still replied calmly, without mixing a little subjective factor.

"Rubbish! Gu gave him so many resources, so he recruited Zhao Sheng who was still a talent, and the rest were wine bags and rice bags! This kind of waste, how can Lone rest assured that Da Zhao Jiangshan will be handed over to him. Shi Hu suddenly said angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry! Be calm and do not get angry. Buddha Tucheng hurriedly said.

For Buddha Tucheng's words, Shi Hu can still listen to them.

"Anything else?" Shihu Road.

"According to the secret report of the informant buried in the Taiwei Mansion and the East Palace, Qin Chengcheng is secretly in contact with the East Palace generals to win over the East Palace generals. There were already four or five generals who had agreed to the Duke of Qin. Xu Xiao said softly.

"You go down first!" Shi Hu didn't say anything, but his eyes were very indifferent. Someone had clearly touched his bottom line.

Xu Xiaobai stepped back and walked out directly. Although Shi Hu didn't say anything, he knew that Shi Tao's good days were coming to an end. Although Shi Hu dotes on Shi Tao, he loves himself more.
