Happy hour always goes by quickly.

That morning, the Imperial Spirit woke up Chen Taiyi, who was sleeping soundly.

"Xiaobao, I'm leaving."

As soon as Chen Taiyi opened his eyes, he lay on the bed and looked at the imperial spirit quietly, his pure eyes gradually dyed with the color of the world.

Looking at this aggrieved look, Yu Ling smiled and said, "I'll take you over, but I can't take you away, wait until you take care of the matter here, and then go to me, or I'll come to you." ”

Yu Ling no longer looks like a girl, she has become much more mature overnight, and has become more beautiful than all the beauties around Chen Taiyi.

Chen Taiyi was 10,000 unwilling.

The Imperial Spirit picked Chen Taiyi on his back and slowly led him to the mausoleum cave located deep underground.

It's not cold in the cave, although no one is there, but there are a lot of flowers and plants, and there are a group of lively and cute little girls.

"! Empress! Is this the king? ”

"It's the king! It must be the king, the king's body is fragrant! ”

"Won't the king walk? Come down and play with us! ”

"King, let's play together!"

The flower and plant elves who were lit by the imperial spirit in the vicinity had a natural sense of closeness to Chen Taiyi, and they had been living in this underground garden for a long time, and when they saw Chen Taiyi, they seemed more lively than usual.

Yu Ling said to these grass and wood elves who were less than a year old: "You play by yourself, I have something to say with Xiaobao, and you will listen to Xiaobao in the future, and he will do whatever he tells you to do." ”

The children nearby suddenly seemed to feel something, and the originally lively children were honest, and even the few little girls who were originally rolling on the ground raised their heads and looked at this place motionlessly.

Yu Ling took Chen Taiyi to the sleeping place, put Chen Taiyi on the ground and said, "I'm leaving, this body will be turned into a bed, so that you can cultivate better when you sleep every day in the future." ”

I said before that it would become a coffin, but Chen Taiyi didn't like it.

At this time, Chen Taiyi didn't like the bed either, and said to the imperial spirit: "You can't stay intact and become a statue or something, so that I can always look at you, and you can always look at me here." ”

The Spirit shook his head, "No, that's not what I really look like, and I don't like how you care too much about me. ”

When Chen Taiyi thought about it, the imperial spirit did have several appearances, including the elderly, the children, and the current mature appearance.

Yu Ling sighed and said: "I am the strongest now, stronger than before, and even with more restrictions on my body, otherwise with this body to help you clear the obstacles ahead, you can also be much smoother." ”

Chen Taiyi comforted: "It's okay, I'm actually very good!" ”

Yu Ling smiled, and did not continue to feel sad, and it was not the first time that the two had separated.

"I won't return to Zhongzhou this time, at least not for a few decades, and after I leave, many people will come to approach you, you can do whatever you want, but remember not to promise anything easily, and don't write people into your ghost book."

"There are up to three names written in the ghost country book, you remember that you went down to enjoy the blessings by yourself, not with others to enjoy the blessings."

Yu Ling earnestly told Chen Taiyi, using the simplest words to let Chen Taiyi understand what needs to be paid attention to.

Mrs. Chen nodded, "I know!" ”

Yu Ling touched Chen Taiyi's head again, and soon his body was wrapped in white light, and under a soft and comfortable light, Chen Taiyi, who was originally standing on the ground, found himself lying on a large bed.

"Alas......" Mrs. Chen sighed, and the grandma left again, and the motherless child was like grass.

The big bed obviously doesn't have a quilt or mattress, but it feels very comfortable and soft when you lie on it, and you feel that you are being contained whether you are lying down or lying on your stomach, and you can smell the spirit between breaths.

After staying for more than an hour, Chen Taiyi also accepted this kind of thing and went out to greet the children outside.

"Great King, Great King! The king is out! ”

The children in the garden poked their heads out of the grass and flowers, and when they saw Mrs. Chen, they ran over to say hello.

These wild children are all from spiritual grass and spiritual flowers, many of them have bare arms and legs, and they are pink and cute.

The imperial spirit is a ginseng essence, and Chen Taiyi's cultivation is also the root of the earth, so naturally some grass and wood elves will be placed around him.

"Well, in the future, you will clean the house here and practice well."

A group of little girls surrounded Chen Taiyi, and after listening to Chen Taiyi's words, they rushed to shout: "Yes, king!" ”

"King, King, I'm Xiao Ju sweeping the floor!"

"I'm Little Peony!"

"King! I'm Sayuri! King! ”

"I'm Little Seven Star Grass!"

"My name is Little Rose! Little Rose! ”

Like flowers competing for beauty, these little guys shouted excitedly and squeezed towards Chen Taiyi.

Chen Taiyi likes these little guys with similar breaths very much, and because of the reincarnation of the imperial spirit, he also loves these flowers and plants left by the imperial spirit.

After an afternoon of playing in the garden with these little ones, Chen Taiyi asked the little ones to continue to watch their homes in the garden and return to the palace from the mausoleum to handle government affairs.

The last time Yu Ling left home and arranged Chen Taiyi in the Demon King Forest, Chen Taiyi himself could live very freely.

This time, Chen Taiyi's soul was affected because of the departure of the imperial spirit, and it would take at least a while to return to the state of a happy child again.

During this period of traumatic experience, Chen Taiyi seemed to be very diligent and put his mind on governing the country.

More than two years have passed quickly, and the people of Zezhou have forgotten a lot of things, and the new generation of Zezhou has also become the pillars of the Yue country under the education of the Yue country.

The trains of the Yue Kingdom were laid to Jingzhou, Zezhou, and more and more commercial spaceships were used, and more trade routes were determined.

Chen Taiyi and his concubines rested in the palace garden, and Chen Baizhi sat opposite to report on the latest situation.

"There are many mountainous roads between Zezhou and Jingzhou, and the cliffs in the mountains are inaccessible, which has become a nest for many monsters, among which many monsters can fly up and rob merchants passing by."

"Fortunately, many veterans and civil righteous men formed an escort team, and the sons felt that these mercenaries were very in line with what my father said, so they asked them to standardize, and both merchants and mercenaries had to be registered through our designated battalions."

"In this way, a lot of taxes are collected, and secondly, after registration, it also prevents tearing up the promise not to give money, or killing people and stealing goods on the way."

"Not only did the caravans favor it, but the folk heroes also took the initiative to register under the imperial court."

"Erchen is well aware of the truth that if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, and you don't blindly expand and build cities outside, and several times you build cities in the places where trade routes must pass, so that people can stay and the city can be stabilized."

Chen Taiyi looked at Chen Baizhi and said with a smile: "Very good, Zezhou is almost stable, I don't need to go to Jingzhou, you will preside over things here in Renwang City in the future, I have been busy in the past few years, and I just went back to Yanwang City to concentrate on cultivation for a few years." ”

"Yes!" Chen Baizhi said excitedly: "The son will definitely live up to his father's trust!" ”

Huang Wanzhen smiled with satisfaction, this picture of family harmony was exactly what she wanted to see.

Chen Baizhi quickly said: "There is another thing, Zezhou has previously rectified the domestic monks and Buddhas, although the control has been relaxed in the past year, but there are still many temples left. ”

Huang Wanzhen said: "These are not to worry, I looked at the tax amount of temples in Zezhou, which is less than one percent of the fireworks venues, so let them develop a little bit." ”

Chen Baizhi disagreed with this opinion and defended: "It's not just a matter of Zezhou and Jiangzhou, many monks and Buddhas under my rule have gone to Lu State. ”

"Lu Guo?" Huang Wanzhen said with a smile: "Lu has been in turmoil and disasters in recent years, and Lu Guoding's luck has been occupied by King Lu and a group of monks. ”

Chen Baizhi said: "It is exactly like this, now the uprisings in Lu are continuous, the bureaucracy is corrupt, the family is divided, and many people are in dire straits, and those monks are responding to the call in Lu State. ”

"And because the monks from these different places were all driven together before, fighting and compatible, and now they have become a unified force, and they also occupy a territory of their own, covering more than ten county seats, and it is rumored that there are more than 4 million believers."

Aoi Wenji frowned, "This group of harmful monks refuses to live in peace wherever they go. ”

Chen Taiyi felt that it was very understandable, now as long as he obtains the qi of the national tripod, he can cultivate immortals and become stronger, and the awe of the folk family for the imperial power is not so strong.

After all, Chen Taiyi was just a city lord before......

The example of King Yue is placed here, and it is impossible for the rest of the family to say that they have no ambition.

Buddhism in Lu must be supported by many Lu people.

There are ordinary people, there are poor people, there are also children of families and court people.

Countless histories tell Chen Taiyi that the most stable and fast way to brush credit is to ...... Raise your own self-respect.

Brush off a gang of thieves, and that's all the credit.

But to set up an enemy and constantly ask the court for money and power, that is a trickle.

If you can't control it, that's the rest of the people's business, anyway, you just have enough of it.

Chen Taiyi understands it very well, because this is the case here in Yueguo.

In order to gain the luck of Yue Guoding, many people fight wits and courage like Chen Taiyi is enemy of life and death, and dare to pin their heads in their stomachs to do things that are extremely ambitious but have no brains.

"Lu Zhengxian has killed countless enemies in the past two years, and they are all patriots." Mrs. Chen said indifferently: "On the one hand, Wei Guo is afraid of this person, and on the other hand, he needs his bravery, and he is constantly decisive, which makes this reckless man grow his power." ”

Kui Wenji said: "With us occupying Jingzhou, Wei Guo will not easily kill Lu Zhengxian, but if we join forces with Wei Guo, there is no way to get rid of this person." ”

Huang Wanzhen disagreed, "Wei Guo is not only guarding against us, but also against Zhou Guo, and Zhou Guo is now going to take action against Lu Guo and Wei Guo." ”

"Once the defense of the country cannot be defended, then the army of the Zhou State will go south to Jingzhou."

"If the state of Lu dies, the army of the state of Zhou will march south to the royal city."

Chen Taiyi has also mastered a lot of intelligence information in the past two years, and knows that both Wei Guo and Lu Guo have some intention of surrendering.

It is not the king who wants to surrender, but the generals and nobles below who want to surrender.

While they were talking about things, Miyun Aoi walked over quickly.

Several people looked at Aoi Miyun.

Kwai Meiyun came to Chen Taiyi and said respectfully: "King, King Wei has issued an order to slaughter Buddha in the country, and the monks and Buddhas in the territory will be killed when they see it." ”

Chen Taiyi was very puzzled, King Wei was different from King Lu, he was a very ambitious and wise person, and even the Sect Master of the Flower Sect could refuse to make a promise.

Kwai Meiyun didn't go around in circles, and after taking a breath, she quickly said: "The reason is that King Wei found out that the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple was hiding the Tian Property, and colluded with the military generals of the Chinese Dynasty to use Buddhism to reduce the wives and mothers of the imperial ministers, and hid thousands of Buddhist believers near the forbidden area of the imperial city where King Wei lived. ”

"King Wei personally summoned the ministers of cultural relics to kill people in the main hall, and all those who believe in Buddhism at home, regardless of the old and young, will be killed!"

Mrs. Chen thought for a moment and did not speak.

Kui Wenji said: "Wei Guo has been a strong Buddha in the past hundred years, and it is normal for someone in the palace to believe in Buddhism. ”

Chen Taiyi looked at Kwai Meiyun curiously, "King Wei killed his mother?" ”

Kwai Meiyun hurriedly said, "No, I just beheaded a few palace maids." ”

Chen Taiyi felt that this was very reasonable, Qin Huang's ruthless character didn't do this kind of thing, and King Wei was probably very sensible, and he didn't really kill them.

Huang Wanzhen quickly thought of something else, and speculated: "Lu Guo should be about the same, if there is Wei Guo doing this, Lu Guo will definitely rectify those monks and Buddhas." ”

Chen Taiyi is very indifferent, everyone knows that Yue Guo is not good for monks, and now he hears about monks outside, just to have fun.

"In that case, the monks of the world can only run to the Zhou Kingdom." Chen Taiyi is still very indifferent, even if all the domestic monks run out of Zhou Guo, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, as long as the temple is there, there is no shortage of monks and Taoists.

The male monks are gone, and there are still female monks.

The female monk is gone, and there is still the flower demon tree demon who sincerely fills the Buddha, think about it...... Maybe it would be better?

"Raise taxes on the monks of the Yue Kingdom!"

Chen Taiyi came up with an amazing idea, and also directly said such amazing words.

Huang Wanzhen looked at Chen Taiyi, she knew that Chen Taiyi was eloquent, but she still couldn't think of what kind of wisdom this was at this time.

Chen Baizhi took the initiative to ask: "Father, why do you want to raise taxes on monks?" ”

"Single tax, unemployment tax, infertility tax......" Chen Taiyi said casually: "These monks do not work and do not serve, give them some taxes, so that they can realize that they are Vietnamese and understand that paying taxes is the obligation of every citizen!" ”

"Anyway, these monks have been expelled outside, even if we don't expel them, we have to make a little show, otherwise it will seem that we expelled these monks before, and now they are protected, and some government decrees are chaotic."

Kwai Wenji figured it out and explained to Chen Taiyi: "Zhou Guo has done enough to treat monks and Buddhas on the surface over the years, everyone knows that their state religion is the Yin and Yang Sect, and those monks have also been sent to poor and remote places to make appearances. ”

"It was necessary before, but now if the Wei Guo Lu State and our Yue State are targeting those monks, then there is no need for the Zhou State to do whatever it does."

"First, he treats the monks and Buddhas well, but he will not really take in those monks and Buddhas, just to make a reputation."

Chen Taiyi smiled and said: "This reputation is not good, he thinks that he can get a good name by treating foreign monks well, I think that the Zhou State up to the courtiers and down to the Li people are all scolding this faint monarch for introducing monks, maybe it will become a crime for some rebels to resist." ”

Kui Wenji and the others didn't think of this, everyone is an upper-class aristocrat, and they are not as well-informed as Chen Taiyi.

Kwai Wenji quickly said: "The king is wise, hearing the king's opinion, I am even more sure that Lu Guo will also do something to these monks and Buddhas." ”

Foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and the local Taoist priests and local monks in Lu have deep complaints about these foreign monks, and many people are also the same.

It didn't matter what the Zhou State did, and soon the Yue State, the Wei State, and the Lu State successively issued some decrees restricting monks and Buddhas.

If Zhou Guo doesn't follow suit, there are naturally subtle differences.

But if you follow along, you won't lose face!

The problem was in front of King Zhou, and King Zhou didn't care about those monks' affairs at all, but if he didn't do something now, he would seem to be very useless.
