Kneel down and ask for a full order of support, thank you!

Following.

Before the beginning of the early dynasty of the Taihe Temple.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were neatly arranged, several groups of people gathered together, chatting quietly, many people's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally cast on Li Xiao, in addition to revealing a trace of jealousy in their eyes, there was also a sense of schadenfreude.

Yesterday, Li Xiao showed a magical power in the Taihe Palace, which brought a great shock to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but it also angered the majesty of the emperor, and the estrangement has already arisen.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Xiao smiled indifferently, didn't take it to heart, and looked calm and relaxed.

"Morning Morning." With the shouts of Yang Gonggong, the head of the inner hall, the hall suddenly fell silent, and the emperor stepped onto the dragon chair and started today's morning dynasty.

As usual, above the court, there is a book, but in fact, there are not many ministers who really start the government~ affairs, even if they are mentioned in the court, they are all insignificant things, but the golden hall is gloomy.

After a few sporadic starts, it was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Just when everyone thought that they were going to disperse, the emperor on the dragon chair looked around the palace after a moment of silence, and raised his loud voice, which spread to every corner: "Today I have to announce a decision, that is, to canonize Li Xiao as the protector of the imperial court, add a yellow robe, give ten thousand taels of gold and silver, repair the heavenly master's mansion, and sit in the capital to help me Kuang Fu Sheji, all Aiqing should have no objections, right?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar, and hundreds of civil and military ministers stared at each other with big eyes, extremely surprised looks, and they were all stunned for a while, and the ministers who were still looking forward to Li Xiao's punishment just now had extremely exciting expressions on their faces.

What is the situation, yesterday's early emperor and Li Xiao were still competing against each other, making an unhappy noise, but today's emperor's attitude towards Li Xiao is diametrically opposite, not only is there no punishment, but also directly canonized the position of the protector of the country, which is too unbelievable!

Protector of the country, protector of the heavenly master, just from these two titles, it is enough to see that the weight of the two is equal. The canonization of this Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Nation is clearly intended to be restrained from the current Staff of the Protector of the Country.

At this time, Yang Gonggong, the chief administrator of the emperor beside him, also opened his mouth wide, looking incredible, and soon he objected: "Your Majesty, this position of the national teacher is the pillar of the country, not a child's play, you must think twice." ”

"The DPRK and China urgently need such a talented and sage as Li Aiqing, and I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more." This time, instead of cowardly compromise as usual, the emperor did not shy away from it, and his words were full of firmness that could not be opposed.

Hearing this, he was surprised by the change in the emperor, and Yang Gonggong's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly, and he obviously realized that something was wrong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, you should do your best to serve the court." The corners of Li Xiao's mouth hooked a trace of arc, and he didn't shirk it at all, and thanked him.

"Your Majesty......" Yang Lin wanted to say more, but he was interrupted by Zuo Qianhu in a deep voice.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman is hard to chase after a horse, not to mention that His Majesty is the king of a country, and it is a daughter, do you want the emperor to take back the holy words and become a fate?!" At this time, Zuo Qianhu, who was listed in the column of military generals, took a step forward and asked Yang Lin in a deep voice.

Yang Lin snorted and couldn't help but stop, but his eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

"Your Majesty."

"Master Li is young, has both ability and political integrity, and has the heart to help the country, which is enough to take on this important responsibility." In the originally silent court, a few people said bluntly.

Li Xiao swept it roughly, many of them were with Li Tongshan and Nie, at this time, they also publicly expressed their support for themselves, which also made Li Xiao somewhat moved, it seems that above this court, there are still loyal people, but perhaps forced by the Yin Wei of Pudu Cihang, they chose to protect themselves, but at the real critical moment, they will also stand up and take a stand.

……

……

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south." With a shrill voice chanting the Buddha's name, bursts of Sanskrit chanting suddenly came from outside the hall.

At this time, a group of female monks walked into the hall, they either played musical instruments, or carried Zen staffs, or scattered flower petals, extremely solemn, behind the procession there was a dharma, a figure sat in it, because there was a curtain to cover it, it was impossible to see the appearance of the people inside.

The bursts of Sanskrit sound spread out, sacred and peaceful, as if it was a voice from the heavens, which could cleanse people's hearts.

"Greetings to the Protector of the Country."

After seeing the people on this chariot, many ministers in the court bowed slightly, and welcomed with a respectful face, and the appearance of the pious disciple was even more solemn than seeing the current saint, and it was quite noisy.

Seeing the visitor, Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was already clear about the identity of the person sitting on this chariot, and he actually swaggered straight into the Taihe Hall so much, this Pudu Cihang is really a great majesty! It is enough to see how arrogant this Pudu Cihang is.

……

……

"It turned out that the Fazhang Dharma was coming." Seeing Pudu Cihang, the emperor straightened up, and his expression was a little nervous.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for finding such a virtuous minister, this is a great blessing for the imperial court, and it is really worth congratulating." Pudu Cihang on the Dharma chariot, his hands folded, his calm face full of the brilliance of Buddha nature, like a great monk who has attained the Tao, people can't help but admire and revere.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

"What the Dharma said is timely."

It was only at this time that the remaining ministers chimed in, as if Pudu Cihang's words were the true words of the Holy Lord, and they obeyed them.

Yang Lin, the head of the Inner Palace, also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he believed that the arrival of the Fazhang would definitely be able to stop the emperor's decision to canonize him.

Li Xiao's divine thoughts diverged and probed, and he could feel a majestic demonic aura from Pudu Cihang's body, and in the bodies of those who were in tune with him, he also felt a strong demonic aura. These demonic and evil qi converged out of thin air, like a large black and gloomy net, covering the sky of the palace, suppressing the prosperity and luck of the human race.

"I have to say that this group of demons is really colluding to stir up this court into a miasma." Li Xiao secretly said in his heart, and at the same time, he also had a sense of urgency, he must speed up, get rid of the demons, and pacify the demons, lest the court and even this great country fall into the hands of these demons.

Previously, Zuo Qianhu still admired this protector of the country very much, but after learning the truth from Li Xiao's mouth, when he faced Pudu Cihang again, his eyes also inadvertently showed a look of vigilance.

"Master Li, now that you are in the position of Heavenly Master, you should be more concerned about the world, and take it as your own responsibility to support the Society, but don't let His Majesty the Emperor down." As he spoke, Pudu Cihang turned his head and faced Li Xiao, although there was a soft smile on his face.

"Kuang Fu Sheji, this should be the duty of every courtier. Not only that, but the most important thing is that I want to put down the demons and traitors, seek justice for those loyal and righteous people who have been wronged, and return the world to a prosperous world. Li Xiao's eyes flashed with essence, as if he was smiling but not smiling, and he was meaningful.

Pudu Cihang frowned slightly, and a trace of gloomy fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Originally, when listening to Yang Lin's description, Pudu Cihang was still a little unimpressed, but now, when he was face-to-face and really felt the momentum on Li Xiao's body, he was also a little jealous in his heart, and finally he came to a conclusion, that is, Li Xiao only made a move to deter the ministers in the court that day, and obviously retained his strength.

The power of his own position as the abbot has to be shared equally with another person, Pudu Cihang's heart is naturally jealous and unwilling, but now is at the critical moment of stealing the fortune of the dynasty, he has to be cautious, if he breaks out with Li Xiao now and reveals his true body, then his hard work for so many years will be wasted.

"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, and it is really a blessing that Master Li can ascend to the position of Heavenly Master."

Thinking of this, Pudu Cihang finally restrained the fierceness in his eyes, and put his "soft" and peaceful smile on his face again, and his expression changed freely, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Yang Lin couldn't help but look dark, and he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect that even the Fazhang couldn't stop Li Xiao's arrival, I don't know why.

And Li Xiao was carrying his hands behind his back, his expression was indifferent, and he looked detached from the world.

The two seem to be peaceful, but their words are fiercely clashing.

While the two were talking, the ministers of the court were also faintly divided into two groups, some of them were headed by Pudu Cihang, and some of them were supporting Li Xiao, and they presented a situation of confrontation with each other, and the air in the Taihe Hall was suddenly filled with a nervous smell, and the emperor on the dragon chair trembled for a while.

……

……

"Phew."

On the way back to the palace, the emperor couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat in his heart had already soaked the placket of the yellow robe.

Just now, when he witnessed the verbal confrontation between Li Xiao and Pudu Cihang, he was also shocked, fortunately, the two did not tear their faces above the court and fight, it seems that there is still a little room for the real crisis to break out.

Moreover, when facing Li Xiao just now, Pudu Cihang's arrogant arrogance was also obviously restrained, and even a little jealous, it seems that the decision to canonize Li Xiao as the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Country was indeed correct.

"Your Majesty, it's spring at this time, why is there heat coming out of your body, is the dragon unwell?" A personal little eunuch beside him followed and asked with a concerned expression.

Although it was the little eunuch's heartfelt words of concern, after the emperor heard it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but have a bitter smile: "I am not unwell, Xiao Dezi, I haven't been to the Imperial Garden for a long time, so let's go there today." ”

After a nervous early dynasty, the emperor's mind was a little tired, and now he wanted to visit the imperial garden to relax.

"Whoa."

Xiao Dezi walked ahead to lead the way, and the emperor and his party walked towards the back garden.

……

……

In the imperial garden, the rockery is in groups, the trees are shady, there are a lot of flowers, plum blossoms, magnolias, peonies and so on are in full bloom, pretty and beautiful, together constitute an incomparably beautiful scenery, with the breeze blowing, the refreshing portrait overflows, there are many unknown colorful butterflies flying in the flowers.

The emperor came here, looking at these scenery that seemed to be beautiful paintings, he suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and breathed a sigh of relief, and all the tension of Fang Cai was finally relieved at this time.

After passing through an arched rockery and coming to the depths of the Imperial Garden, walking among the beautiful flowers, the tip of the emperor's nose couldn't help but move slightly.

This fragrance is not a faint floral fragrance, but a deep incense, a light smell, people actually feel intoxicated.

Following the direction of the wind, the emperor looked ahead, and saw a beautiful woman with a delicate figure dancing beside a flowerbed not far away.

This woman is wearing a blue emerald cigarette shirt, a pink pleated skirt, and a light veil as thin as cicada wings, her face is like a peach and plum, and her Danfeng eyes are like spring waves that are about to overflow, her figure is fluttering in the wind, and her slender waist is full of hand, but she is weak and boneless.

Her graceful dancing posture even attracted a lot of colorful butterflies, flying up and down around her, under such embellishment, and with the gorgeous flowers and plants around, it is even more beautiful.

That incomparably coquettish look, just a glance at it, makes people's hearts move.

When he saw this charming woman, the emperor only felt that his eyes lit up, and after looking up and down, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't help but ask Xiao Dezi: "Which concubine is this woman, why have I never seen it in the palace before?" ”

Facing the emperor's questioning, Xiao Dezi's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is Concubine Ding, she just entered the palace yesterday, and she has not had time to report to Your Majesty, Xiao Dezi deserves death." ”

The Emperor nodded abruptly.

Even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, if they are compared with the Concubine Ding in front of them, they will be a little discolored. It can be said that in so many years, it was the first time for the emperor to see such a beautiful woman, and he couldn't help but be amazed and his heart fluttered.

"Let this Concubine Ding come to sleep in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight." The emperor took a deep look at Concubine Ding, who was dancing among the flowers and butterflies, and there was a hint of intoxication in his eyes, and he instructed Xiao Dezi.

"Whoa!" Xiao Dezi nodded hurriedly.
