Cheng Yue also sighed and said: "Actually, I don't want to kill you, you lost your father at a young age, and you took over the power of the Kamakura shogunate at the age of eighteen. I dare to say that if I hadn't led the army to conquer this time, you would still have been able to continue the world of the Hojo clan. In terms of talent alone, even in the Great Song Dynasty, you can be regarded as outstanding. If you can serve under my command with peace of mind, your future achievements will never be inferior to that of any one person, and how can it be limited to small Japan? It's a pity that you made a big mistake, beheaded the envoys of Kublai Khan, and cut off your own back road. Your children are innocent, but what are the sins of those envoys? You don't measure your own strength, you just kill indiscriminately, and you don't know how to compromise when my soldiers are pressing, and you vow to fight to the death with me but don't know my true strength, how to govern a country with such childish means? Too rigid and easy to break, good and soft are undefeated, didn't your master Lanxi Daolong teach you? ”

Cheng Yue's words were calm and sincere, Hojo Shizong listened to it with relish, and did not feel offended at all, and after listening to it, he tasted it carefully and repeatedly, and his heart was like an empowerment, and he suddenly became enlightened, and he couldn't help but bow to the ground, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, for your guidance." ”

Everyone in the hall also nodded frequently when they heard it, and Cheng Yue's evaluation of Hojo Shizong was appropriate, and he couldn't summarize it better.

Wang Ming said: "Lord, the master of Hojo Shizong, Lanxi Michitaka, and the senior monks Daxiu Zhengnian and Yuaner Bianyuan also came to Kyoto together, waiting for the decree outside the palace, does the prince want to see them?" ”

Cheng Yue was stunned, and said in his heart that the three old monks had come well, and after a little thought, he said: "Since Lanxi Daolong and Daxiu Zhengnian are here, let them come in, I also want to meet them, and Yuan'er will also be together." ”

"Yes."

After a while, the three senior monks walked into the hall, saluted Cheng Yuehe, and reported the Dharma name.

Lanxi Daolong is a native of Sichuan, thirteen years old monk, visited famous monks, learned from the **** Zen master when he attained enlightenment, because of the friendship with many Japanese monks who went to the Southern Song Dynasty to seek the law, then under their strong invitation to go east to Japan to preach the scriptures, famous Japanese islands.

Daxiu Zhengnian is a native of Wenzhou, the heir of Stony Creek Xinyue, who came to Japan with Lanxi Daolong, and is also highly respected.

The two monks lived in Kamakura with Yuaner Bianyuan, and rarely traveled, and the Japanese monarchs and ministers had not seen them for many years, and when they saw the three monks coming, they all got up and saluted.

Cheng Yue didn't move, and the three princesses naturally didn't move, they only met in their seats, and Cheng Yue didn't even bother to return the courtesy.

Lanxi Daolong saw that Cheng Yue did not return the salute, and he was not surprised, and said: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, the old man is here, not for anything else, but to intercede for the Hojo clan, and implore His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan to read the young and ignorant in Zhenshi and Shishi, and spare their lives." Save someone's life, win the seventh-level floating slaughter......"

Cheng Yue didn't wait for him to finish speaking, raised his right hand, and said with a smile: "Master and slow, I never said that it would be bad for the two children, and the master doesn't have to worry." ”

The three monks were stunned at the same time, and Lanxi Daolong quickly exchanged a look with Hojo Shizong, Hojo Shizong nodded to him, and Lanxi Daolong believed Cheng Yue's words.

Daxiu is still not enough to think about it, and said: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, Zhenshi and Shi were young, and they couldn't leave their mother for a while, the two donors of Zhuzi and Fangzi are happy to give and be kind to others on weekdays, and the two donors of Liangquan Ni and Sanqi Bureau have become monks and have no quarrel with the world, why don't His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan release them together and fulfill their wishes?" ”

As soon as Da Xiu Zheng's words came out, a glimmer of hope immediately ignited in the hearts of the four women. Hojo Tokimune and Hojo Somasa are dead, but they want to live!

Anda Taisheng also stared at Cheng Yue's face on the side, Zhuzi is his sister, as long as there is a glimmer of life, he also wants to save her life!

Daxiu was mindful of what he said, but Cheng Yue shook his head slightly and said, "Of course the child is innocent, is it an adult...... Let me think again. ”

Daxiu was thinking about persuading again, Cheng Yue waved his hand coldly and said, "That's it!" ”

Daxiu was so shocked that he had to keep his mouth shut. Yuan Er Yuanyuan wanted to persuade Cheng Yue with him, but it was difficult to speak at the moment.

The Japanese have always been very courteous to the monks, and they have never seen anyone so loud and beautiful for such a famous monk as Daxiu Righteous Thoughts, and for a time the Japanese monarchs and ministers in the palace were silent, and they didn't even dare to look at Cheng Yue!

Cheng Yue looked at Daxiu Zhengnian's slightly frightened appearance, sighed long, and said, "I lost my temper a little just now, and the master will take care of it." ”

Da Xiu Zhengnian hurriedly said: "The old man doesn't dare, His Royal Highness has learned a lesson, it must be because the old man lost his words." ”

Cheng Yue said: "The master's intentions are good, but it has given me a problem. I promised Kublai Khan that he would exterminate the Hojo clan, leaving behind two children, but fortunately I can always use my young age as an excuse. But if I leave the adults behind, won't I become a man who breaks his word and gets fat? If a man does not stand without faith, will the master trap me in injustice? ”

Cheng Yue's words made the three monks speechless. Indeed, if Cheng Yue only killed the Hojo Shizong brothers, and spared their mothers, wives and sons, where would they still be called annihilation? Blatantly violating his promise, how will Cheng Yue get along with Kublai Khan in the future?

When Hojo Shizong heard this, he raised his head and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, the minister's mother and the Sanqi Bureau have become monks, and they should be regarded as outsiders, and the minister heard that Kublai Khan also believes in Buddhism, so he won't want to take the lives of his family, right?" ”

Cheng Yue thought about it seriously and said, "Maybe...... It makes sense. ”

Hojo Shizong was overjoyed, and immediately continued: "As for Zhuzi, the minister has already divorced her, and since she is not from the Hojo family, she should go back to Anda's house." Anda Taisheng is a courtier of His Highness, how could His Highness kill his sister? ”

Cheng Yue was stunned for a moment and said, "You divorced her?" When? ”

Hojo Shizong took out a letter of resignation from his arms, presented it with both hands, walked to Cheng Yue on his knees, and said, "Your Highness, please take a look." ”

Cheng Yue took a general look at it in his hand, mainly looking at the date, it turned out to be March last year, it has been more than a year, the ink is as good as new, as expected, it is temporary.

Cheng Yue smiled and said to Hojo Zongzheng: "Do you also have a copy there?" ”

Hojo Somasa kowtowed heavily, and also took out a letter of resignation to Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue was not interested in looking at it again, put the two letters of resignation in his arms, and said, "With only such a thing, do you think you can give an account of the past in front of Kublai Khan?" (To be continued.) )
