When Gao Yu and the others were urgently summoned into the palace by Zhao Ji, it was already late at night.

Several people met at the palace gate, and when they saw others with the same doubts, they couldn't help but feel a little more solemn in their hearts, and they became more and more confused.

It was not normal for Zhao Ji to summon him late at night, especially when he summoned so many important ministers of the imperial court.

The Imperial Palace, a side hall.

"Chen Caijing (Gao Yu) see the official family." Gao Yu and Cai Jing came together and walked into the main hall. When they saw Zhao Ji frowning, they bowed down in unison and bowed in unison.

Zhao Ji was speechless, and handed over the music sent by the prefect of Jinling to the two of them.

When Cai Jing and Gao Yu finished reading the recital, they finally understood why Zhao Ji hurriedly summoned the two. Their expressions also became extremely gloomy, and their brows were full of worry.

"It's a big problem."

Half-loud, Gao Yu sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

"It's too fast, it's happening too fast." Cai Jing's voice was hoarse, full of complexity, and a little dull.

Zhao Ji didn't speak, but his expression was still gloomy.

Although Cai Jing's words were a little vague, he still understood the meaning.

As early as when Zixiao Ancestor came into the world, Zhao Ji had discussed countermeasures with Cai Jing and others.

They guessed that the Divine Mansion might directly affect the political environment of the Great Song Dynasty, but because of the calm and restrained actions of the Zixiao Ancestor, they misestimated the situation. In their original guess, even if the gods wanted to interfere in the government, it would take at least several years to manifest.

This is enough time for them to prepare for any eventuality.

It's just that they didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Ordinary people only saw the vision of the manifestation of the ancient gods, and were shocked by the unfathomable power of the ancient gods, as well as the irresistible power. But they see a serious crisis, a terrible crisis that will destroy the country if they are not careful.

The greater the influence of the Old Gods on this world, the more they had to think about a problem.

In the future, if there is a conflict between the court and religion, will the people turn to the court or to religion!

This is a problem that they cannot help but feel worried.

Especially with the successive appearances of Zixiao Ancestor and the ancient god Lu Pressure, as well as the almost earth-shattering manifestation of Jinling, this problem has become more and more urgent.

The influence of the ancient gods on the world must be curbed!

Zhao Ji was silent for a while, looked at the two of them like torches, and said in a deep voice: "Do the two Aiqing have a good plan?" ”

Cai Jing and Gao Yu glanced at each other, which was full of helplessness and bitterness.

How can mortals compete with the gods?

Let's not talk about other things, whether it is the power that Zixiao Ancestor showed in Chang'an at the beginning, or the power that Gu Shen Lu Ji shows in Jinling now, it is not something that mortals can contend with.

For such an existence, it doesn't need to be too simple to destroy the Great Song Dynasty at all.

So it's definitely not okay to fight hard, that's an act of looking for death.

Since you can't fight hard, you can only choose other ways, better and gentler methods.

The two were silent for a moment, and then said in unison: "Weichen thinks that he can only choose balance at the moment. ”

Cai Jing glanced at Gao Yu, who was speaking, and then continued: "Whether it is the Zixiao Ancestor behind the Quanzhen Sect or the Ancient God Lu Jian behind the Zhengyi Sect, they are far from being able to compete with mortals. The official family can destroy the Quanzhen Sect, and it is even easier to destroy the Zhengyi Sect that has just been established, but what we really need to face is not the Quanzhen and Zhengyi at all.

We have to think about what the response of the Zixiao Ancestor and the Ancient God Lu Jian will be once the imperial court intends to deal with Quan Zhen and Zhengyi. ”

Zhao Ji bowed slightly, and the worry on his brow became heavier and heavier.

This is also what worries him the most.

Although he likes flowers and wine, and likes beautiful women more than paying attention to government politics, this does not mean that he does not understand anything. It was precisely because he understood that Zhao Ji did not give the order in a hurry, but found his two most loyal courtiers.

Cai Jing paused as he spoke, as if to give Zhao Ji time to react, and as if he was thinking about how to continue to speak.

He was silent for a few seconds, and then said again: "For today's plan, the official family can only use gods to control gods. The minister had heard about the Crescent Island, and the Zixiao Ancestor had an old grudge with the ancient god Lu Zhuan, and this was the opportunity of the official family. It's just...."

When Cai Jing said this, he suddenly stopped and did not continue to speak.

His face was full of embarrassment, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Ji glanced at Cai Jing and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did Aiqing suddenly stop talking. ”

Without waiting for Cai Jing to speak, Gao Yu bowed and said: "Official, it's not that Cai Xiang deliberately stopped halfway, but that the words in the back may be very rebellious, so Cai Xiang has to stop." It is certainly a good policy to use gods to control gods, but it is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst. ”

Gao Yu also stopped when he said this.

He knew that Zhao Ji would understand the meaning, and even more understand the disasters that might be caused by using gods to control gods.

Obviously, Zhao Ji did not disappoint Gao Yu, and when Gao Ji said that drinking water to quench his thirst, he had already completely understood.

It is useful to use gods to control gods, but it will also make the influence of gods on the Great Song Dynasty more profound, and even unbreakable. If you deal with Quanzhen and Zhengyi now, you can still eliminate them in the cradle.

But once the policy of using gods to control gods began, it would inevitably make the influence of the two religions gradually penetrate into all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty. It's like introducing the disease that was originally floating on the surface into the bone marrow and cells, and it is completely entangled with the Great Song.

"But do we have a choice?"

Zhao Ji was silent for a moment, showed a slightly ugly smile, and sighed.

Cai Jing and Gao Yu also looked bitter and did not reply.

From the very beginning of the appearance of the gods, the Great Song Dynasty had no choice.

At the same time, the palace is a small and exquisite courtyard.

A little eunuch discussed Zhao Ji with Cai Xiang and others, and without a trace of omission, he reported to Emperor Maode, who is now in the limelight in the palace.

Half a year has passed, and the once slightly immature Emperor Maude has matured a lot and become more and more delicate and moving. She leaned lazily against the attic window, her robe draped over her shoulders made of white fox skin, like a languid and coquettish vixen.

"Giggles, Cai Xiang, they are a little old after all." Emperor Maud's charming fox eyes looked out into the dark night, and let out a crisp laugh like a silver bell.

The little eunuch lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard anything, and he didn't dare to remember it.

Cai Xiang is old?

Emperor Maude has an opinion on Cai Xiang?

He couldn't imagine what kind of uproar it would cause in the vestibule if the news got out, let alone what would happen.

"What Master said really makes sense, once you miss something, you will never have a chance again. The palace is a little tired, and it's time to rest. Emperor Maud yawned lazily and walked slowly to the inner room.

Without waiting for the little eunuch to retreat, she suddenly stopped and ordered: "By the way, this palace recently heard that the master fairy of Cihang Jingzhai is in Kaifeng, you go to tell your father early tomorrow morning that this palace wants to listen to Zen." ”

Listening to Zen?

Who in this palace doesn't know that His Majesty has never liked Buddhism?

The little eunuch's face was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly answered.
