Chapter 136: Kukai
For this kind of crazy person who dies, Gu Zuo really didn't know how to deal with it for a while, his silence was obviously misunderstood by Xing Wei, Xing Wei smiled and said: "Gu Changshi doesn't need to worry, since Xing is sitting here, he wants to relieve Gu Changshi's worries." How about we make a deal?"
Gu Zuo was curious: "Twelve moons?"
Xing Wei didn't seem to understand Gu Zuo's teasing, and said to himself: "Of course not, Gu Changshi pays me 12,000 spirit stones a year, and I guarantee that Gu Changshi will be promoted to the head of the palace, and besides, if anyone has the idea of fighting Southern Wuzhou again, I will bear it!"
"Twelve thousand spirit stones a year?" Gu Zuo was a little angry.
Xing Wei poured himself another glass of wine, drank it and said slowly: "Of course, Gu Changshi can also do it, but maybe one day, Nanwu Prefecture will be dismissed." ”
"This is the agreement between Your Majesty, the Chongxuan Administration and the Nanzhao Sects when developing Southern Xinjiang, I don't know how Xing Fengfeng plans to abolish it?"
"Your Majesty doesn't pay much attention to the government, Chongxuan Agency, and it's difficult to protect itself, hehe, now everything comes from the political affairs hall, and the abolition of the Southern Wuzhou, a place with a big palm, is really not a big deal. ”
"Wang Zhongcheng's power has reached such a point?"
"It's just the beginning...... Some things are not easy to say to Gu Changshi now, but in the future, Gu Changshi will understand that being able to serve Wang Zhongcheng as soon as possible is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Gu Changshi, and he will definitely not regret today's move at that time. ”
"Just now Xing said that the Chongxuan Department is difficult to protect itself, what does this mean?"
"Gu Changshi can't see it, the two Great Heavenly Masters, hehe, the day is not in danger!"
"Is the news confirmed?"
"The news of my family's Wang Zhongcheng, can there be a fake? How about it, Gu Changshi, it is worth my Xing to come to seek sages, there are not many in Beijing. ”
Seeing that Xing Zuo's face was full of smiles, and he looked very optimistic about you, Gu Zuo was speechless, and said, "If Southern Wuzhou is abolished, the annual tax of 10,000 guan and 5,000 spirit stones should not be paid, right?"
Xing Wei was stunned: "What tax?"
Gu Zuo sighed: "This tax is really heavy, and it makes Gu's shoulders broken, and it is often difficult to sleep at night." It's better for Gu Mou to make a deal, if Xing Fengfeng can help Gu Mou dismantle Southern Wu Prefecture, I will give you two thousand spirit stones every year, what do you think?"
......
Xing Wei returned to his room, sat in the chair without saying a word, and Liu Luogu, who came with him, asked, "Xing worship, what's wrong?"
Xing Wei said: "I saw Gu Zuo just now. ”
Liu Luogu looked in the direction Xing Wei pointed, and happened to see Gu Zuo giving a thumbs up to Zhong Xiuxiu, who had just finished dancing on the sword platform, so he asked Xing Wei: "What do you say?"
Xing Wei told him about the situation just now, and asked Liu Luogu: "How do you think this matter should be started?"
Liu Luogu Qi said: "What and how to start?"
Xing Xuanwu was immersed in thought, and said: "Abolish Southern Wuzhou, do you want to ask Li Xiang to make a move, or will my eldest lord directly enter Your Majesty......?"
Liu Luogu said angrily: "Xing worships...... Xing worships ......"
"Huh?"
"Gu Zuoxiao'er, this is playing tricks on you!"
"How?"
"The edict issued by the Political Affairs Hall to reduce the taxes of Jiannan Province and Nanzhao for three years, why should he pay this money again? Besides, without Nanwu Prefecture, what will he do to protect his spiritual stone veins?"
But Gu Zuo said that the Dongting faction was only released because of the heavy taxes in Nanwu Prefecture. ”
"The Dongting faction didn't know that the veins were so big that day, so you can inquire again today to see if they are willing to make a move!"
Xing Wei came to his senses and thanked Liu Luogu: "One word woke up the dreamer, thank you Brother Liu!" and gritted his teeth and said: "Good thief, dare to play tricks on me like this, and see how I clean him up!"
Gu Zuo watched He Xiaofan's performance again, and then left Xiongmiaotai and walked out of the apricot garden. Now it's late and it's not a festival, it's the dead of night, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets. Wang Wei's house is in Huaide Fang, west of Chang'an City, covering a large area, he is from the Wang family in Hedong, and he is not bad for money.
Seeing Gu Zuo coming, Wang Wei introduced him into the secret room, his face solemn: "Ren Haichuan has been missing for two days. ”
Ren Haichuan is a famous "warlock" in Chang'an, good at yin and yang to ask divination, Wang Wei asked him to go out, only to say that the king of Qi was moved, and Gu Zuo's wish to take Li Yu to Southern Wuzhou, and by the way, he also brought a Qingyuan county lord.
Gu Zuo thought that he could meet this "fellow practitioner" who also learned Buddhism this time, so he rushed to look for Wang Wei at night, but he didn't expect to wait for the news of Ren Haichuan's disappearance.
Gu Zuo asked: "Brother Haichuan cultivates Buddhism, has he been noticed?"
Wang Wei was a little nervous: "I don't know, but I've thought about it for a long time, and there is no reason to be discovered, otherwise how can I be alone?"
Gu Zuo said: "Don't leave anything to chance, you have to plan for the worst." ”
Wang Wei nodded: "That's right, so I invite you to come and see what to do." I asked the Ministry of Punishment that there had been no detention of serious offenders in the past two days. If it is really because of the cultivation of Buddhism, it should also be arrested by the Chongxuan Administration. I heard that Huai Xian has a lot of dealings with the Dao Masters of the Chongxuan Bureau, I wonder if it is convenient to inquire about the news?"
Gu Zuo said: "Everyone I know has gone to Zhongnan Mountain...... It's very likely that something happened to the two Great Heavenly Masters, do you know the news?"
Wang Weidao: "I heard a rumor, if this matter is true, it stands to reason that the Chongxuan Agency should not care about arresting Brother Haichuan." ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "Brother Haichuan has been missing for two days, how do you know that he is missing?"
Wang Weidao: "He lives in Guiyifang in the south of the city...... Let's go, just take you there. ”
As soon as he said to leave, Wang Wei took Gu Zuo quietly and sneaked around, and soon came to Guiyifang.
Heping, Guiyi, Datong and other nine squares in the south of the city are the residential areas of the common people, living in the bottom of the Chang'an people, only these six squares, squeezed into no less than 200,000 people, can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, Ren Haichuan will live here, is also a means of self-preservation.
In a laneway in the northeast corner of Guiyifang, there are more than ten sets of miscellaneous courtyards densely arranged, and dozens of people are accommodated in each courtyard. Only a set of miscellaneous courtyards in the corner is very quiet, this is the courtyard that Ren Haichuan bought.
After finding a vacancy where no one was around, the two jumped up and climbed into the courtyard, and saw a figure sitting under the tree, looking at them.
Wang Wei whispered: "Kukai Daoyou, this is Huaixian. ”
The man got up, about the same age as Gu Zuo, and saluted Gu Zuo: "I've seen Huaixian Daoyou." ”
Wang Wei introduced: "Kukai Daoyou came from Yingzhou in the East across the sea, and among us, Buddhism is the most pure. Haichuan lives here with him. ”
In Gu Zuo's sea of qi, Kuhai's display is different from others, don't look at Wang Wei and Huai Su have both practiced Buddhism, but the foundation they have laid since childhood is still Taoism, and Gu Zuo does not feel that there is a significant difference. But this Kuhai is different, the true yuan displayed in Gu Zuo's Qi Sea is an almost round golden light, which is essentially different from the agility and ethereal displayed by the Dao Gate Exercises. Judging from the thickness of the true yuan, it is comparable to the foundation of the Daomen, and slightly thinner than himself.
This is a true Buddhist monk!
