Chapter 874: Jiang Liu: Let me go and persuade the king
The guards beside him glared fiercely at the innkeeper, apparently accusing him of telling him about the king's use of the hearts and livers of more than a thousand children.
It's just that after Sha Wujing next to him turned his head and glanced at a guard, this guard didn't dare to stare at the shopkeeper anymore, and immediately lowered his head.
"What!!?Use so many children's hearts and livers as medicine!?How can there be such an evil thing!?No!The poor monk must enter the palace to dissuade the king!"
Hearing the words of this shopkeeper, Jiang Liu's face was full of surprise, and he exclaimed in surprise, and while speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Master, don't!"
Listening to Jiang Liu's words, the shopkeeper's mouth hurriedly shouted, "At first, many people opposed this matter, but the king insisted on going his own way, and even many people who made a lot of trouble died unexpectedly! Master, I advise you not to say it, lest you suffer a tragic accident!"
"Yes, master, don't mention this matter! Today, no one dares to say anything anymore!" The guard next to him was also bold at this time, took two steps forward, and said to Jiang Liu.
"No, the purpose of the poor monk to go to the west to learn scriptures is to save sentient beings from the sea of suffering, and today I learned such a thing, if I stand by and watch, isn't the purpose of the poor monk a joke!?" Hearing the persuasion of these two people, Jiang Liu shook his head and said insistently.
As he spoke, Jiang Chuan turned around and left the inn and went back in the direction of the palace.
Although Jiang Liu had already left, the people in the inn quickly began to talk.
In many martial arts, when ordinary people inquire about the news, they like to be in the inn, because there are many people, and all kinds of true and false news emerge in endlessly.
And Jiang Liu said that he was going to the palace to dissuade the king, and naturally, the people in the inn quickly talked about it, and even the news quickly spread out.
"Master, I beg you, don't try to persuade the king! Otherwise, not only the innkeeper just now will suffer, but even us people will be to blame!" followed behind Jiang Liu, the guard led by him said to Jiang Liu with a sad face.
"Don't be afraid, I believe that the king must be reasonable! I went to persuade him to give up using children's hearts and livers as medicine, this is also for the sake of the people of the bhikshu country!" Jiang Liu strode back to the palace, and replied earnestly at the same time.
"Master, master, just listen to my advice......"
......
Jiang Liu was followed by dozens of guards, and this battle had already attracted the attention of countless people, and on the way back, Jiang Liu deliberately spoke loudly, naturally, the conversation between him and this guard was also heard by the surrounding people.
The monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East actually wanted to go to the palace to persuade His Majesty to give up using the child's heart and liver as a medicine guide!?
In a matter of moments, the news spread rapidly, almost throughout the royal city of the bhikshu kingdom.
Naturally, the people in the city of the bhikshu king had mixed reactions to this news.
"Master Xuanzang, is he going to persuade His Majesty?, can Master Xuanzang succeed!?" a young woman, with a look of hope in her eyes, whispered in a low voice.
If you can really succeed, won't your children be able to survive?
This woman's heart is still very hopeful, and even secretly prays in her heart that Master Xuanzang can succeed.
"Don't expect that!" However, after the woman's words fell, the man next to him shook his head and said.
"I think that at the beginning, when the king proposed to use 1,110 children's hearts and livers as medicine, how many people opposed it? Even the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court and the central government were opposed!"
"But what is the result? those who are dismissed will be dismissed, those who are killed will be killed, Master Xuanzang is just an outsider after all, how can the king listen to his words?"
The words of the man next to her dimmed the look of anticipation in the woman's eyes.
It is indeed reasonable, it is useless for so many people to oppose it, Master Xuanzang is just an outsider, and it is impossible for the king to listen to his words.
"Alas, the mage is really a good man, but it's a pity, the king is bent on going his own way! I hope the mage doesn't completely annoy the king!"
......
Because Jiang Liu was going to the palace to persuade the king to give up using children's hearts and livers as medicine, this news naturally triggered a lot of discussion among the people, but the result of the discussion was almost one-sided.
Because, almost everyone didn't believe that the king would really listen to Master Xuanzang's words.
Jiang Liu didn't guess what these people thought, but he could roughly understand it.
Jiang Liu took the lead, but after entering the palace, Jiang Liu did not immediately look for the king, but returned to the palace where he was arranged.
"Master, are you really going to persuade the king?" After returning to the palace, Zhu Bajie asked Jiang Liu strangely.
"That's nature!" Jiang Liu nodded and replied.
"But, judging from the words of those people, it is impossible for the king to listen to you!" Zhu Bajie asked suspiciously.
I could see that the king would not agree, so it was impossible for Master not to see it, right? But why did Master still try to persuade him?
Does Master have a way to get the king to obey him?
"I know he won't listen! I want him to listen!" Jiang Liu's expression was still calm, and he replied as a matter of course.
This answer made Zhu Bajie and his disciples look at each other, and they all looked stunned.
I knew that the king would not listen, but the master had to persuade him? What he wanted was that he would not listen? What is going on?
"Goku, ......"
Glancing at the few disciples in front of him, Jiang Liu opened his mouth and said, "Actually, Master's idea is very simple, I never thought that the king would listen to my persuasion, so I will guide the king to say the words of changing those more than a thousand children!"
"Of course, if the king doesn't say it, the teacher will also take the initiative!"
Yes, Jiang Liu deliberately went out for a trip, and even made a special effort to make the people of the entire royal city know that he was coming to persuade the king, and what was the purpose?
Only when can you really receive people's hearts, right?
In the face of luck, the value of experience points and treasure chests rewarded by an epic quest is naturally much smaller.
Jiang Liu opened his mouth and told Sun Wukong his thoughts and his purpose concisely.
Hearing Sun Wukong, they nodded their heads, and at the same time, they suddenly understood what the master's plan was.
......
Jiang Liu learned that the king was going to use the child's heart and liver as medicine to refine the elixir, and this news was naturally reported to the king and the national teacher.
Moreover, the news that Jiang Liu was about to come and persuade the king was also told to the king.
"Oh, does Master Xuanzang want to persuade me? Hmph, this is a matter of my bhikshu country, where is his turn to talk more!?"
The matter of refining medicine with children's heart and liver is a taboo that cannot be mentioned for the king, and it was not easy to press this voice, but I didn't expect that Master Xuanzang would actually come to persuade himself?
"No, my lord, this news is actually not bad news!" It's just that just when the king's heart was secretly angry, suddenly, the national teacher next to him suddenly spoke.
"Isn't it bad news?!?" the king asked strangely, looking at the national teacher in some surprise.
"Your Majesty, think about it, what kind of dogma do people in Buddhism generally flaunt? That is, to sacrifice the small self, complete the big self, sacrifice oneself for the benefit of others, and save the world for the benefit of others!"
The national teacher opened his mouth and said, as soon as he said this, he paused slightly, and then said, "Since Master Xuanzang wants to come and intercede for those 1,110 children, then, when the time comes, Your Majesty will directly put forward the condition that he will only exchange his heart and liver for the heart and liver of those 1,110 children, wouldn't it be wonderful!?"
"If Xuanzang doesn't agree, it means that he is nothing more than that! He is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, so what qualifications does he have to persuade Your Majesty!?"
"Wouldn't it be better if he agreed? We don't have to poison ourselves, even Sun Wukong and the others can't do anything!
"Yes, what the national teacher said is reasonable!" Hearing the national teacher's analysis, the king's eyes lit up, and he nodded happily and said.
......
On the king's side, he felt that the development of things was good for him, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and even looked forward to Xuanzang opening his mouth to persuade him.
What about the river? I also feel that everything is within my plan, and I am waiting for a suitable opportunity to speak.
And so, as the sky gradually darkened.
Soon, an attendant came to inform Jiang Liu, saying that the banquet prepared by His Majesty was about to start, and asked Xuanzang and others to go.
Good guy, when Jiang Liu and the others came to the place where the banquet was located, they secretly sighed in their hearts, the specifications of this banquet are not bad.
Most of the civil and military officials have arrived, just to give themselves such a passing monk?
Of course, as the minutes and seconds passed, soon, everyone was seated one after another.
The king spoke first, and said a few words.
Jiang Liu naturally nodded in response, and the atmosphere between them was quite harmonious.
At the very least, it can still maintain a superficial harmony.
For them, on the one hand, attending the banquet was requested by the king, and on the other hand, they also got more or less the news, saying that Master Xuanzang wanted to persuade His Majesty to give up the matter of using children's heart and liver as medicine, and they didn't know if they could do it?
Tea over three rounds, dishes over five flavors.
Jiang Liu stood up and said to the king, "My lord! ”
