Chapter 328: How Much Is Your Life Worth?

Only then did the ministers suddenly realize why the emperor kept smiling, no matter what the other party said, he was not angry, he was waiting here!

The tyrant kills, and the saint punishes the heart.

For Jinbatu, this decree was really worse than killing him.

I saw that his face was pale, and there was almost fire in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is so disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas, you will be punished by heaven!" ”

Zhu Qizhen's face was still unmoved, and he said slowly: "I have given you the position of a scholar in the Divine and Buddhist Cabinet, plus the crown prince and the prince, such an identity is already considered a supreme minister in the Ming Dynasty, why is it disrespectful?" ”

"You, you ......"

Jin Batu stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Qizhen, so angry that his fingers were trembling.

"The Buddha has vast powers, how can he care about a small official position in the world? His Majesty swept Liuhe, creating an immortal feat, the little monk admired, but, in front of the gods and Buddhas, if you don't know how to restrain and act recklessly, then disasters will fall from the sky, mountains and rivers will be turbulent, Your Majesty is afraid that you don't know the allusion of the king of the country? ”

It is rumored that the Shang Dynasty fell because the Shang Dynasty was disrespectful to the statue of Nuwa.

This old man was addicted to wine, and when he saw that everyone was thinking about those things in bed, he even thought about whether he could sleep with Nuwa Niangniang, and also mentioned a very literary "love poem" on the wall of Nuwa Temple, which made Nuwa Niangniang angry, so he sent the nine-tailed fox down to the earth, causing chaos in the court, and finally King Wu cut down and destroyed the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Since childhood, Jin Batu has been keen and studious, well-read, and has a lot of allusions.

After he said this, the faces of the courtiers suddenly changed, not to mention, if the emperor really annoyed the gods, the consequences would be unimaginable......

Zhu Qizhen finally put away the smile on his face and asked, "I came to ask you, what is a god?" ”

Jin Batu immediately replied: "Gods, there is no way, it is unmeasurable, so the clouds are not known!" ”

"Good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued: "I ask you again, are there many people who believe in God and worship Buddha? ”

Jinbatu clasped his hands together and said, "The people of Wusi Tibetan worship the Dharma!" ”

"Tell me, how are the people of Uszang doing?"

Hearing this, Jin Batu was stunned, because he didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qizhen continued to ask: "I ask you again, how are the people of Wusizang doing compared to the people of the Central Plains?" ”

Jin Batu held back for a long time, and then said: "Wusi is hidden in the mountains, most of them are barren land, bitter and cold, the people live in poverty, and naturally they are not richer than the Central Plains. ”

"If the people of Usi Tibetans believe in Buddhism, why do they live in poverty?"

"This ......"

Jin Batu thought quickly in his heart and said: "The hearts of the people are to the Buddha, yes, yes...... Sincerity, no expectation......"

These words were extremely unconfident, and at this moment, the faith in his own heart began to waver.

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "If even the suffering of the people can't be solved, what is the use of such gods and Buddhas? ”

"No, it's not......"

Jin Batu shook his head, his face was already drenched in sweat, and he didn't know what to do.

"Open your dog's eyes and see, the people of the Central Plains are rich in food and clothing, do they rely on the gods?"

"Now you go from house to house and ask which god they worship?"

"Wake up, if there is really a high god in the sky, overlooking all living beings, why is there still so much suffering and war in the world!"

"Your gods and Buddhas are nothing more than tools to collect power and money, and you really think you are superior to others?"

"Don't think that I don't know, your living Buddha, since Zar Gyatso, has been replaced by Mongolians, since the Mongolians can be canonized, why can't I?"

"Or is your Buddha only afraid of the iron horses of the Mongols, but not of my muskets and cannons?"

Zhu Qizhen's face has completely changed, from the harmless smile of humans and animals at the beginning, to now it is as cold as frost, full of killing intent.

This series of questions completely pierced the faith in Jinbatu's heart, and he thought hard, but could not find a reason to refute it.

Don't...... Is the god he has pursued all his life really so vulnerable?

Zhu Qizhen said again: "My holy decree has made it clear, if the Buddha refuses to accept my reward, he will come to me face to face to make it clear, and now he has not appeared, I think he has already agreed." From now on, your Buddha will bow down when he sees me, but you insist on not kneeling, and say that you are a devout believer? ”

Jin Batu was already soaked in cold sweat, and all the words he had prepared early had lost his meaning.

Now he has only two choices, either kneel or die.

However, in the original plan, he died without fear of power, not such a cowardly death......

"Is Your Majesty ready to push Uszang to a dead end?"

This is his last hole card, do you dare to play?

I, Uszang, am not afraid of going to war, even if I lose, I will have nothing, and there is nothing to do now anyway......

Zhu Qizhen smiled suddenly, but there was a cold chill in his smile.

"If I win the request of the King of Interpretation, and at the same time punish you for a great crime of disrespect and kill you, what do you think the King of Interpretation will choose?"

Jin Batu's face turned from white to blue, he didn't expect such a reply at all.

This doesn't make sense!

Before leaving Tibet, everyone had a meeting together and discussed it for a long time.

This time he entered Beijing mainly to provoke the Ming court, because for the Ming Dynasty, this battle was not ready.

If they send troops and win the war, the gains outweigh the losses, and if they lose, they will not be able to raise their heads even more.

If they don't send troops, through this envoy and negotiation, at least let Da Ming know that Wu Sizang is not a soft persimmon, you can pinch it if you want, at least withdraw the land of King Ning first, and everyone will not interfere with each other.

Therefore, the conditions they put forward were extremely harsh, almost equivalent to the annual tribute paid to foreign countries during the Southern Song Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty did not lack this money, but this kind of behavior was extremely insulting.

I never thought that Da Ming could still agree?

The more Jin Batu thought about it, the more scared he became, if people really agreed to these rude requests, and backhanded himself again, would King Interpretation work hard for himself and Da Ming?

In other words, is your life worth that money?

It seems like...... It doesn't ......

At this moment, the faith in Jinbatu's heart collapsed and fell into a state of confusion.

Maybe...... People are right, in the eyes of the King of Interpretation, what is the value of himself, if he can really exchange so much silver, then ......

He didn't dare to think about it, no matter what, if he died like this, it seemed really worthless!

Finally, the defense line in his heart completely collapsed, and he slowly knelt down.

"The minister Wu Sizang commanded Tongzhi Jin Batu to knock on His Majesty the Emperor!"

The chill on Zhu Qizhen's face faded at this time, and he turned around and returned to the dragon chair.

"Let's talk about it, what is the intention of the Qing family to come to Beijing this time?"

Jin Batu said: "The people of Wusi and Tibet live in poverty, and the ministers represent His Royal Highness the King and ask the court for assistance. ”
