Chapter 103: The Dusty Past Comes Down
Immersed in his own contemplation, Yuan Huizong didn't listen too carefully to what Yuan Huizong said next.
What Yuan Huizong said was: "At that time, there were many grievances in the world, and I lived in the palace all day long, of course, I don't know. I remember a few times when I happened to go to the early dynasty, a few Aiqing played with me, and the people of the world were bored with life, and I also lost my temper, thinking that those ministers were mediocre people who disturbed themselves, criticized Yu me, and ordered them to be dismissed and investigated. was so frightened that no one dared to speak out about going to court in the future, they were all trembling, reporting good news but not bad news. Let my ears close my eyes and stop me, and I will never know the world from now on.
Here, only you are not afraid of my authority, dare to face me, and tell me what to do and what not to do. At that time, I was so disgusted with you that if it weren't for your promise of meritorious service, I would have ordered you to be dismissed from your post and asked the officials to answer for your guilt. ”
Ye Boyu looked at the pale Yuan Huizong, only to feel a nameless anger rising up, such a mediocre and unscrupulous faint monarch, he actually risked his life to protect him, he was really angry.
Totoki's face gradually regained its calm, and the green tendons on his forehead disappeared, regaining that fierce look.
"But I didn't. Because, slowly, I suddenly began to feel tired, a sense of boredom that I had never had before, a boredom of everything, of the government, of the ministers, of myself, and even of the Dharma that I had been indulging in for half my life. At this moment, the national teacher of Bile seemed to see my thoughts, and slowly encouraged himself to conquer Goryeo. He said that Wang Tu's hegemony is the greatest merit to make a great cause that is not inferior to that of Taizu and Taizong.
Under his constant persuasion, my mind gradually became firm, so I began to increase taxes, forcibly levy troops and armor taxes, conscription and horses, and go all the way to Goryeo. ”
Of course, this period of history understands that the five years of conquest of Goryeo is almost to gather the strength of the whole country, and it is to take command of the Eastern Expedition by Tokhtar, but because of the high road of Goryeo Mountain, the king of Goryeo is very cunning, once defeated, the whole army retreats in the mountains and forests, and Tokhtar has been conquered several times, and it has been difficult to completely exterminate it.
"Goryeo has always been too far away for our army to conquer. Several requisitions were fruitless, not only did they not gain an inch of land, but they also completely emptied the already weak treasury.
At this time, I was disheartened and a little bit of giving up. He said that even if he returns with a great victory, he will only recover the land of the projectiles, and how much merit can he have.
I asked him what the real great merit was, and the national master told me that merit is function, it can break life and death, can attain nirvana, can save sentient beings, and the name is merit. This merit is his good deeds, so he is meritorious.
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be moved in my heart, immortality has always been the ultimate wish pursued by all emperors, in the past, Emperor Qin Yingzheng in order to seek immortality, refining twelve golden people, several times sent Xu Fu Dongdu to pray for blessings, isn't it just for the word immortality. ”
Hearing this, Ye Boyu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, immortality, these two words are not only the pursuit of ordinary people, nor are they just the pursuit of emperors and generals. Thinking of this, his bad feelings towards Yuan Huizong couldn't help but fade a little.
I listened attentively, but I didn't expect that Yuan Huizong, whom I had never looked down on, would have such a complicated side.
"At this time, the national master of the gallbladder described to me a big world that I had never imagined, and he told me that the way of heaven is impermanent, and we humans are the most fragile race in the Three Realms, and only through continuous cultivation and breakthrough can we live forever until we ascend to the immortal realm. And ascending to the Immortal Realm requires the establishment of great merit. So, he told me a shortcut to great merit. ”
Speaking of this, Tokhtar couldn't help but slap the table, pointed to the bookcase, and said loudly: "Could it be that the great merit that the gall said is what he refers to?"
Yuan Huizong raised his head, looked at Totoku in a little surprise, glanced at it, shook his head again, and continued: "Not bad. This is the picture. Guts National Master, no, Bile told me that this is called the Yin Wind Bead Project. ”
Ye Boyu and the others' hearts all moved at the same time, and several people glanced at each other in unison, and said in their hearts: "It's not in vain to wait for half a day, and finally get to the point." ”
"Yin Wind Bead?" Tuo Tuo's face was dazed, and he asked anxiously, "What is Yin Wind Bead?"
Yuan Huizong sat down slowly, and everyone noticed that his face was already white and frightening, and even a little blue. Tokh was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, is your dragon body unsafe? You should rest for a while and then say, the dragon body is important." ”
Yuan Huizong slowly shook his head with a blue face, holding the bookcase with both hands, as if he was thinking about something in pain. Tokto's eyes looked at him with concern, afraid that he would have a good time.
After a long time, Yuan Huizong seemed to have made a lot of determination, sighed softly, and said: "The axiom of heaven and earth is at ease in the world, since you have done it, you are not afraid to say it." The world is like this, and I am not afraid. ”
"Holy Lord, you ......," Totokh couldn't help but say with concern.
Yuan Huizong waved his hand and said, "Take off Aiqing, you don't have to persuade me. I urgently summoned you to Chang'an Daming Palace today, just to make up my mind to tell you the ins and outs of this matter completely. In this way, you will be able to relieve your worries. ”
Totoh knelt down on one knee, and said: "Thank you to the Holy Lord for your trust, the Minister must be exhausted, and he will go to the soup to solve problems for the Holy One." ”
"Aiqing, please get up quickly. Yuan Huizong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Totoku and let Totoku sit on the seat below.
Where did he dare to sit down, half of his body sat on the chair, but he couldn't face Yuan Huizong, so he had to twist his neck again and listen to Yuan Huizong continue, and the posture was extremely strange.
"Take off Aiqing. On that day, the national teacher of Gallba also suddenly took out this map. He said that Yuan Taizu and Yuan Taizong had expanded the realm of the country to a point that their predecessors could not imagine, and to this extent, it was really difficult to expand the territory by relying on my Dayuan soldiers and horses, and then forcibly marching thousands of miles.
Not only that, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. My Dayuan is vast, and there are countless countries bordering me, just ask which country is bowing down to the ear, really and completely converting to my Dayuan, isn't it all scheming, eyeing the tiger, just waiting for my Dayuan once the army is unstable, immediately unite the four people, split my Dayuan?
I was speechless when the gallant national teacher said this, and I just sat on the side and stared at me. The national teacher of Bilba said again, he said, just now I just talked about the situation outside the territory, now look back at the inside of my Great Yuan Dynasty, Sheng, may I ask the temple, how many courtiers can you count who are loyal and have no disagreement with you?
When he said this, I was also a chill in my heart, indeed, when I ascended the throne, the ministers obstructed it in every way, especially the group of old ministers headed by the right prime minister, if it weren't for the love of Aiqing, you killed your relatives and tried your best to eliminate public opinion, where would there be the current best year?"
Speaking of this, Yuan Huizong looked directly at him and slowed down slightly. Totoh didn't know what to think again, and the two of them didn't speak for half a cup of tea.
After a while, Totoh coughed and said: "Holy Lord, forgive the minister, what the bile national teacher said is really irrefutable, and the minister is also deeply worried about the affairs inside and outside the government and politics he said. ”
In fact, Ye Boyu outside the window also had a headache when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Good guy, I just thought that when the emperor eats all the delicious food in the world and reads the spring in the world, I didn't expect it to be so painful and difficult, it seems that it is better to hide between the mountains and forests, and to cultivate my immortals happily is the right way." ”
The Zen Master Myoko and the Great Wilderness Zen Master and others next to him shook their heads slightly, Yuan Huizong said for a long time, only knowing that he had made meritorious contributions and surpassed Yuan Shizu and Yuan Taizong, but he did not think about the people of the world at all, and he was really not a competent king.
Yuan Huizong, who only listened, continued: "The words of the national teacher of the gall, what I said about the Great Yuan are in crisis everywhere, as if the building is about to collapse. I was terrified and asked him if there was any solution. ”
"That's how you got hooked. Ye Boyu outside sneered in his heart.
The national teacher of the gall said with a smile, the Holy One, since ancient times, the weak eat the strong, and the way of heaven dictates it. The teachings of Buddhism can only practice the Tao, but they cannot allow you to make achievements in the world, and if you want to be safe from the outside and at home, you have to think of other ways. Yuan Huizong continued.
Hearing this, the two thick black sword eyebrows stood up obliquely, and he stopped talking and sat on the side angrily.
Yuan Huizong didn't look at Totok's expression, he looked ahead, godless and empty, but he said to himself: "When I heard it, I was very interested. I am busy asking the national teacher of Bilba what is the best way to let me do it once and for all, so that I can defeat the enemy on the outside and keep the government safe forever on the inside.
I will always remember that scene clearly, at that time, the face of the gallant national teacher suddenly changed greatly, and he changed his previous kind demeanor, which frightened me again. The gallant national teacher laughed and asked me to retreat left and right, before taking out this map from his sleeve and talking to me about this Yin Wind Bead plan.
When I saw it, this was clearly a map of my Great Yuan country, and I was about to ask. With a flick of his hand on the map, ten blood-red circles appeared on the map, and in the middle of these ten circles were the ten important cities of my Great Yuan.
The national master of Bilba told me that the so-called Yin Wind Bead is actually a medium to awaken the demon world and open up the seal between the demon world and the human world. ”
"What, Demon Realm!" Tokhtar really jumped up this time, and asked loudly, "Holy Lord, how come there is still a Demon Realm? This, what the hell is going on?"
"Sure enough, it's the Demon Realm!" Ye Boyu and the others outside the window also glanced at each other, and secretly cursed in their hearts that this gallant lama dared to collude with the Demon Realm and do such a thing that would ruin his conscience, so he was not afraid that once the catastrophe came, he would be crushed?
