Zhuo Bufan heard Kong Miaozhi say that the emperor sent someone to keep an eye on him, and said a little incredulously: "The little emperor sent someone to keep an eye on him? Why? Sixth, you said that you might come to the seventh? Does Lao Qi have anything that the emperor cares about? ”

Kong Miaozhi closed his mouth at this moment, letting Zhuo Bufan ask, but he thought silently in his heart: "I heard that the second uncle has decided to follow the little emperor, if the idea of this faction is what he wants, what does he want to know?" Hey, I'm afraid that I won't be able to live in peace in the future. ”

At this time, in the emperor's bedroom, a thin little eunuch kneeling was reporting to the little emperor in detail: "The general election of the state religion is like this, but Yashan Tianjisu suddenly appeared. agreed to a request from the three elders of Sichuan and Shu, and then returned to Tingfeng Pavilion with everyone. The minions had already sent someone to keep an eye on the Wind Pavilion. ”

When the little emperor heard that Tianjisu had arrived in the capital, he touched his lips in some confusion, and he didn't seem to understand it for a while, so he turned his head and asked a person next to him: "What does the national teacher think?" ”

The person who was called the national teacher by the little emperor smiled and said to the emperor: "It is impossible for Tianjisuo to go to the imperial capital at this time. This person should be pretending, pretending to be Tianjisuo and returning to the Wind Pavilion with everyone, if he is not a daring person, he is a person who is familiar with them. Or...... It was sent by the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu, and she used this time to pass on some news to hide it from the emperor's eyes and ears. ”

When the little emperor heard this, he continued to ask: "National Teacher, if it is a person sent by the National Church, I want to know what the Qianqiu Holy Maiden has to say to the people of Tianjimen, or I want to know if the Qianqiu Holy Maiden has something to do with Wu'an, and what can the National Teacher do?" ”

The national teacher smiled slightly, but shook his head: "Your Majesty, if it is the person who transmits the message, then it should have been disguised and left at this time, but if it is a trivial matter, Your Majesty does not have to worry about it." If it is a big event, the Holy Maiden of Qianqiu will not let anyone pass it on to her. What is secret must be said in a hidden place. The minister thought, for Your Majesty, there are probably not many hidden places in the entire imperial capital. ”

After listening to this, the little emperor laughed and said: "Yes, listening to the words of the national teacher has benefited a lot." Come on, go and pass on the three priests! ”

The kneeling man hastily received the decree and withdrew.

The little emperor brought the tea at hand to the national teacher: "The national teacher has relieved me a lot of worries during this time, but there is something I have always wanted to ask, and I hope the national teacher will tell me the truth." ”

The national teacher took the tea from the little emperor's hand, and then knelt down. The little emperor hurriedly picked him up: "I told you, you don't have to be polite in front of me." I heard that you are the best among the children of the Dragon Army, and you have learned to ask the Dragon Army Master ninety percent of the ability, I don't know which is stronger and weaker compared with Kong Miaozhi next to Wu Angong? ”

After hearing this, the national teacher seemed to have talked about the little emperor's question, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my father's knowledge is through the ancient and modern, and I have only studied for a few years. His Majesty did not give up and came to serve. My nephew...... My nephew was brought to Tianjimen by his father since he was a child, and he never learned any strategies at home. But the two of us never fought each other. I don't dare to make up my mind. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely try his methods. ”

The little emperor nodded: "On the talent of the world, ask the dragon army division to monopolize the eight buckets." If the family in the world can maintain its longevity, your Kong family must be the first. ”

"Your Majesty has praised it."

"I'm not modest, I ask the dragon military master to use a yang strategy, the world is turbulent, the Kong family wants to take the chestnut from the fire, I'm afraid there is only this way. It's just that I didn't expect to ask the Dragon Military Master to be so forbearing, let the children and grandchildren fight in the same room, the national teacher, don't show mercy to your subordinates when the time comes! ”

"Your Majesty, the family motto of the Confucian family, the Lu of the food king, and the worries of the king. Since I have come to Your Majesty's side, I should do my best to assist Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wins the world in the end, I will be the new head of the Confucian family. The minister should be exhausted, and then he will die. ”

"Good! With this sentence, I am relieved! ”

As he was talking, the eunuch who had just run out came back and said, "Your Majesty, the three soldiers are waiting outside the door." ”

"Let them in."

The eunuch retreated in small steps, and after a while, three people of different shapes walked in, two men and one woman, who came in and knelt down: "Long live Your Majesty Jin'an." ”

The little emperor nodded, and didn't let them get up, and then said: "There is something to be done by you, Wu Angong seems to have something to discuss with the Qianqiu Holy Maiden these days, I want to know something, you go and check." ”

After hearing this, the three soldiers looked at each other and replied: "Obey." He bowed his head and retreated.

Seeing the three scholars leaving, the national teacher also said to the little emperor: "The minister has also resigned." ”

The little emperor took the hand of the national teacher: "Don't worry, national teacher, when the dragon military division sent you to the imperial capital to assist me, you should have analyzed the general situation of the world." I'm bored, why don't you talk to me about it? ”

Seeing the little emperor say this, the national teacher nodded: "Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, the minister knows everything." ”

"Since the general Du Wei pacified the northwest, the world now seems to be peaceful, but the forces of all parties have been surging.

Let's talk about the Northwest Land first, after so many years of war. The people are already miserable. Although the alien race was driven out of Yongzhou, the people were overwhelmed by years of war. Nowadays, the control is too strict, and there may be civil unrest. The control is too loose, and the northwest may be out of the control of the imperial court, and His Majesty has to guard against it.

The southwest is far from the imperial capital, but the relationship between the parties is complicated. Although the small country of Jialan, the throat of the southwest, was subjugated, Baiyue further south coveted it for a long time. I heard that the Kingdom of Jialan seems to be choosing a prince to take the throne, and Baiyue is secretly assisting the eldest son of Jialan. If the great prince is really enthroned, Jialan Kingdom may fall to Baiyue. When the time comes, the southwest gate will be wide open. This was greatly detrimental to the imperial court's rule in the southwest.

And in the east, the land of the two states near the East China Sea was previously made miserable by the Three Tribulations Sect, and now it has been full of holes, and since the emperor took office, he sent a few capable generals. But now it seems that there is another figure of the Three Tribulations Sect, and the cult is about to move, and there is a great power to resurrect it, which may also make the Holy Lord's bedroom uneasy.

However, these are not the real major troubles, the real major disasters are in the north and the rivers and lakes.

There is the Yanshan Mountain Range in the north, and the people on the grassland have been recuperating for more than 50 years, and now they are the first major disaster of the imperial court. The grassland is too big, and the previous dynasty was dragged down by them, and I think this is the top priority in the court today.

The minister has read the history books for a few years, the north and my Central Plains have almost always been a companion relationship, there have been many attacks on the Central Plains in history, and the dynasties have nothing to do with them, and paying taxes and relatives is basically the best result. There were also several dynasties before that they fled in all directions, but there was too little rain in the grassland, and people could only live by water and grass, which was greatly detrimental to the rule. The minister thought that if the saints could not subdue the north, then they must be subdued. ”

The little emperor nodded: "The national teacher said that he was gracious, how to be gracious?" ”

The national teacher opened his mouth, but did not speak. The little emperor knew that he had concerns: "It doesn't matter if the national teacher says it, whether you listen or not, it's all up to me." ”

"Yes, in the past, the highest relationship was only the princess to marry, if Your Majesty can accept the people of the grassland as the queen, and set up the queen's son as the crown prince, then in the future, the Central Plains and the north will be a family, regardless of each other. The royal family of the steppe will certainly bow down and never betray. ”

"The child of the prairie is the prince? Impossible, the Heavenly Family will not agree to this, and the world will not agree to this matter. National Teacher, I know what you mean, but this can't be! When the little emperor heard the national teacher's plan, he directly denied it.

The national teacher seemed to have expected it a long time ago, nodded and said: "The best strategy is not possible, and the minister still has the middle strategy." ”

"Say."

"The steppe has been recuperating since its defeat decades ago. Now the royal family in the grassland is divided into two factions, and the prestige of the newly ascended king is not enough. And his uncle is now ambitious and has great intentions to take his place. Please ask Your Majesty to send an envoy to the grassland. If the two sides can be confronted, it will be more beneficial to the current form. If the balance is broken and the two sides fight, the Holy One can just sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. This plan can keep the Central Plains from grassland invasion for ten years. ”

When the little emperor heard the words of the national teacher, he nodded: "What the national teacher said is very much in line with my heart, ten years is enough, I should work hard to make good use of these ten years." The matter of the grassland has been said, what does the national teacher have to teach the general trend of the world. ”

When the national teacher heard the little emperor ask himself, he slowly raised his head and glanced at the little emperor, the national teacher saw the expectation, anxiety, consideration and a trace of excitement in the eyes of the little emperor, seeing this, the national teacher no longer hesitated, and lowered his head and said categorically at the little emperor: "The big thing in the heart of the royal family, in addition to the north, there should be the matter of picking immortals and immortals." ”

"I thought that the immortal vein had disappeared in the rivers and lakes since decades ago, but I didn't expect the news of the new immortal lord when the Qianqiu Holy Maiden returned. The state religion has been firmly in its current position for so many years, and the minister guesses that the state religion may have an indispensable ability for the imperial court.

But the power of the immortal lord is too great, and the state religion, martial arts, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and even the healers of the leader of the medicine Bodhi are all picking up the immortal line. I heard that my father had followed Jun Mochou, if it weren't for the sudden change in the previous generation of immortal picking, I am afraid that strategists like us would also be under the immortal picking sect.

The whole world is not the king's land, has Your Majesty also thought about it, in this world, is Your Majesty or the fairy lord important? ”

The little emperor kept smiling and listening to the national teacher's words, and when he heard him say that the immortal lord did not change much, he just asked easily: "Since Sir knows my worries, is there a way?" ”

The national teacher did not answer the little emperor, but asked rhetorically: "The line of picking immortals is too secretive, I have searched all the ancient books and have not found a clue. The unknown is the most terrifying. His Majesty's collection of books is open to heaven and earth, have you ever heard of the origin of picking immortals? ”

"Don't hide it, sir, I once secretly ordered the bachelor of the Ding Pavilion to search for ancient books, and I searched all the books and found no information about picking immortals." The little emperor's eyes flickered when he said this, as if he was hiding something.

"Your Majesty hasn't found it either? That's not normal. The national teacher thought for a moment, and then asked again: "Could it be that there is no record of picking immortals in all the books in the royal collection?" ”
