Just when Tan Invite Yu was still lamenting the fate of Mulan, the reward given to her by Tuoba Tao had already arrived at the post house.

Due to the identity of Invite Yu, Tuoba Tao specially allowed Invite Rain not to kneel down to accept the order.

The attendant who came to deliver the message saw that Invite Yu was standing straighter than him, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while. directly split the words "kneeling to listen to orders" and turned it into "kneeling...... Don't kneel? ”

Invite Yu glared at the messenger, "What's expensive or not?" How does this palace know if it is expensive or not. Do you have to pay for this holy decree? ”

The chamberlain didn't know why Invite Yu came up with such a sentence, and the chamberlain didn't dare to ask, so he could only read the holy decree head-on.

Feng Tan's invitation to rain, the Holy Venerable Celestial Maiden. Bit than the county lord.

This was the first time that the Wei Dynasty had rewarded the witchcraft, and even the high priest in the palace did not have any title. And the county lord even raised the identity of the rain to the level of the clan girl.

This reward was actually something that Tuoba Tao had been thinking about for several days. It was not sealed too low, so that Invite Yu felt that Tuoba Tao looked down on her, nor did it be sealed too high, causing dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

Then get to the bottom of the sentence, in order to prepare for Tuoba Tao to marry and invite rain.

But when the waiter came back, he had a deflated expression.

"What did you say the Heavenly Maiden asked you?" Tuoba Tao squinted his eyes and asked with joy and anger.

The little chamberlain was eager to slap himself at this time. He robbed the errand with others, thinking that the goddess had been rewarded, and it would be good to reward himself with anything. Unexpectedly, this heavenly girl didn't even give him a smile.

The little chamberlain replied in horror, "The Heavenly Maiden asked 'what about the horse'?"

Tuoba Tao pinched his eyebrows and asked, "What else?" ”

"And ......," the little chamberlain's voice grew quieter and quieter, "and the Celestial Maiden said, 'She won't be grateful without a horse.'" ”

After the little waiter said this, he felt that his life was over. When have you ever seen someone receive a reward and not be grateful?

thought that he would not be able to escape punishment, but he didn't expect Tuoba Tao to just wave his hand and let the little waiter retreat.

Zong Ai's heart blossomed at this time. Although Tan Zhaoyu is bold, he rarely acts recklessly. I don't know what happened this time, after returning to Pingcheng, I even dared to refute His Majesty's face.

Tuoba Tao thought for a while and instructed outside, "Go and pass Cui Hao into the palace." ”

About an hour later, Cui Hao walked into the palace to pay a visit.

As soon as Tuoba Tao saw Cui Hao, he dismissed the others in the palace and asked, "Is there any new news about the matter of the relatives in the south?" ”

Cui Hao didn't expect Tuoba Tao to ask about this matter so quickly, you must know that this is the third time Tuoba Tao has asked since they met Rouran.

Cui Hao felt that this matter was really difficult to handle, so he had to tell the truth, "Your Majesty." In the south, we also bought off several officials, but they all said that this matter was not easy to handle. Liu Yilong, the emperor of Xinfengji in the Southern Song Dynasty, relied on Tan Daoji very much, and he was afraid that he would not disobey him in this matter. ”

"As for the ...... of the Tan family," Cui Hao was puzzled, "You also know ......"

Tuoba Tao raised his hand, "You don't have to say it. I know it's hard to do, otherwise I wouldn't have left it to you. ”

Tuoba Tao said depressedly, "It's not just the Southern Song Dynasty now. There is also the Qiu Chi. They have already sent envoys into the country three times to bring back the Celestial Maiden. I originally sent someone to stop it, but I didn't expect that the right minister of Qiu Chi didn't know what method to use, and actually let an envoy pretend to be a beggar to sneak into the city, and directly sued the Heavenly Maiden, so that now the Heavenly Maiden is angry with me. ”

Cui Hao was a little surprised, he didn't expect Tuoba Tao to do this step in order to keep Tan Yingyu. It's just that this strict defense is a bit too much. No wonder he didn't thank Tan Invite Yu when he heard that he was sealed today. So the roots are here......

Cui Hao was a little worried, His Majesty really paid too much attention to this Tan family girl. In Cui Hao's opinion, it is absolutely impossible for Tan Daoji to take the initiative to marry his daughter into the Northern Wei Dynasty, otherwise how would he gain a foothold in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As for the new emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, after ascending the throne, he began to rectify the rule of officials, and he was obviously a new monarch who wanted to work hard. Exchanging peace for peace is not something that this new emperor will do.

Liu Jie made a fuss about Tan Invite Yu this time, and part of the reason why Cui Hao was willing to let him go was that Cui Hao also felt that Tuoba Tao was too affectionate to Tan Invite Yu.

If you want to become an emperor who will be famous through the ages, you are destined not to just go around in the small world of children's love. The absurd state affairs in history are without exception not obsessed with women and pleasures.

This Tan Yuyu may have some ability, but she is a woman after all, that is, she cannot enter the court as an official, let alone save the world. If Tuoba Tao is allowed to focus on Tan Yingyu, it will undoubtedly destroy his foundation.

Cui Hao pondered for a moment and felt that this might be a good opportunity, so he said, "Your Majesty, have you heard the Tao of the Heavenly Master?" ”

Tuoba Tao thought for a while and said, "Is it the one on Song Mountain?" It seems that I have heard it from the Queen Mother. ”

Cui Hao's face was happy, "Your Majesty is well-informed. It is indeed a Songshan Taoist. The Heavenly Master Dao is the Songshan Taoist Kou Qianzhi was ordered by the Taishang Laojun to establish a religion. Chen has had several encounters with this Kou Qiandao chief, this person is familiar with the legal code, full of wealth, and is really a great talent. If it can be returned to the imperial court, it will definitely be a great help for His Majesty. ”

"Taoism?" Tuoba Tao raised his eyebrows, "The royal family admires Buddhism a lot, why did you suddenly recommend a Taoist priest to me?" ”

Cui Hao said frankly, "Your Majesty." Do you know that there are thirteen Buddhist temples in Pingcheng alone, and four of the land in the city are owned by temples. In each temple, the number of monks ranges from a few hundred to thousands. Once ordained, these monks were exempt from the levy tax and lived on the offerings of their families. Have you ever thought that if Buddhism had been allowed to continue to develop in the Great Wei Dynasty, a few years later, temples would abound, men would have converted to Buddhism, and there would be no more soldiers available in the country. ”

Cui Hao saw Tuoba Tao twisting his eyebrows and thinking deeply, and said busily, "The Heavenly Master Dao founded by Kou Qiandao advocates both Confucianism and teaches the people to help the country. The teachings of this religion prohibit monasticism from being called officials, gathering people, and destroying the land. Respect for the husband, respect for the father, and be loyal to the king. These precepts are the religions that can really assist the emperor and educate the people. ”

Cui Hao's words were very straightforward. Buddhism or Taoism was just a name for an emperor. Only those who can help the emperor, consolidate the royal family, and educate the people to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism are the doctrinal sects that the emperor needs.

Tuoba Tao thought for a long time, and finally spoke, "You send someone to Songshan to invite this Kou Qiandao chief to enter the palace, and I want to meet him." ”

Cui Hao was overjoyed, "Huh." The minister will do it. ”

As soon as Cui Hao was about to retire, Tuoba Tao added, "The matter of discussing relatives still needs to be stepped up, and these officials of the Southern Dynasty can't do it, so let's go and win over new ones, and we can finally find someone who can do things." ”

Cui Hao's joy was immediately diluted, and he bowed down again, "Huh." ”
