"Zhao Kuangyin, I'm afraid I'm about to die. ”

"Your Majesty, what is this called? Fan Xiang has already gone to the Thunder King's Mansion to steal the blood of the Qilin, and the minister is also actively looking for Zong Xin's whereabouts, as long as Your Majesty persists for a while, he will definitely be able to survive. ”

Chai Rong waved his hand and said, "Don't say pretty things, I know what is going on with my body." Zhao Kuangyin~ How do I treat you on weekdays?"

"Heaven and earth are high. ”

"Now I have something for you to do......"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Say, who will you harm?"

"Bastard~ Do I need your help if I hurt someone?"

"That'...... This conversation is exactly the same as when Zongxin asked me to hurt people before, and I said it without paying attention. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty has something to do?"

"You don't have to go to Zongxin, I guess Zongxin won't help me. Chai Rong said: "Thinking about the fact that the widow destroyed the Buddha back then, Zong Xin was worried about it, but even if he offended the widow, he had to do it." How can a country not have its own coins? But those believers worship Zongxin so much that they use all the copper coins of the previous dynasties to cast Buddha statues, and if I don't melt these Buddha statues and then mint them into copper coins, I am afraid that there will be no more basic circulating currency. A country's national strength lies in whether its circulating currency is effective or not, and if the copper coins of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not as valuable as the Buddha statues, then how can we talk about national strength? Zongxin's influence on the world is too great, and I must limit Zongxin's right to speak, and it is imperative to destroy Buddhism. ”

Zhao Kuangyin also understands this truth, when a monk becomes a national idol, it must be suppressed. During the Tang Dynasty, Master Xuanzang became a national idol, and at that time, Li Shimin, the most proud disciple of Master Xuanzang, still killed Master Xuanzang's most proud disciple, the monk Distinguishing Machine.

Of course, it is also self-defeating, and his adultery with Princess Gaoyang is also one of the fuses. But in fact, the private lives of all the royal family members during the Tang Dynasty were very chaotic, and no one cared about this kind of thing. But Li Shimin took this matter and beheaded the monk in half, in fact, the real reason was to suppress Buddhism.

"Zhao Kuangyin, you go directly to Guo Xin, you must find him back before I die, and let him inherit the throne. Chai Rong said: "After my death, there will be no one to inherit this throne, and the Great Zhou will die." If Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde are allowed to inherit, it will not be a good thing. Neither of these two people is an emperor's talent, and letting them inherit the throne will definitely cause chaos in the world, and it is better to let the Great Zhou Dynasty fall into ruin. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, the rivers and lakes are so big, how to find the vast sea of people? ”

"That'...... Aiqing bothered, only you have the highest martial arts in the court, and you were also a person in the rivers and lakes at the beginning, so you must be the only one who can find Xin'er. Remember, I can't hold out for long, I have to hurry. ”

Guo Xin's martial arts are strong and resourceful, and he is the best choice to entrust the world. Although Chai Rong also hopes to be selfish, after all, his son Chai Zongxun is only 6 or 7 years old, how can such a young child let Da Zhou get through this critical moment?

But what Chai Rong didn't know was how could Zhao Kuangyin help Chai Rong find Guo Xin? If Guo Xin ascended the throne and became emperor, Zhao Kuangyin would have no chance at all, and everything he had done for so many years was to make wedding dresses for others.

Zhao Kuangyin not only won't go to Tianya, but even hopes that Lu Tu will find Tianya and then abolish him.

However, Tianya is too cunning and never appears in front of the world, only occasionally revealing his name, and he absolutely comes and goes without a trace. I have only seen Guo Xin once in so many years, and Guo Xin also came up with a way to help Zhao Kuangyin defeat the Southern Tang Dynasty Sailor that time.

In fact, Zhao Kuangyin was quite reluctant to kill Guo Xin, he also watched Guo Xin grow up, and Guo Xin, this kid is much smarter than him, and he can let him help when necessary. Not only the mind, Guo Xin's martial arts have also developed greatly, and it won't take long to become a famous master in the rivers and lakes.

Zhao Kuangyin knows very well that Guo Xin has infinite potential, and he is a person who cannot afford to offend Zong Xin, the reason is very simple, because offending Zong Xin is a big deal to fight with Zong Xin alone, but if he offends Guo Xin, his master will come to help...... There is also the national strength of the entire Great Zhou, which is also a very terrifying thing.

It's impossible to find, but you can't say this in front of Chai Rong, just pretend to be a little bit like that.

"Your Majesty has a decree that the ministers must bow down and do their best, and then die. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Then Your Majesty hold on, and wait for the minister or Fan Xiang to come back." ”

"General Zhao, where are you going to find it?"

"Toyoshu. ”

"How could Xin'er be in Fengzhou?" Chai Rong said curiously, "What is the basis for General Zhao?"

"King Guo Xin is exactly the same as his master, with the character of their master and apprentice who love to join in the fun, they will definitely be present in the battle of Cangzhou, and it is precisely because of this that the minister can pick up a life. At that time, Zong Xin appeared to save the ministers, but Guo Xin, the king of Qi, did not appear, presumably watching the battle in other places. After the Battle of Cangzhou, I think King Qi would go to Fengzhou to prepare supplies, then he would go to the Uighurs, and finally to Persia. Zhao Kuangyin said: "King Qi Guo Xin has wanted to surpass his master all his life, but both martial arts and wisdom are far behind, so King Qi wants to go farther than his master." Last time, we and Zongxin planned to go to Persia to find a distillation method for soju, but we met Persian merchants in the Uighurs, who taught Zongxin how to distill, and we returned to the Central Plains. If King Qi wants to surpass Zongxin, he should go to Persia, so that he will go further than Zongxin. ”

Chai Rong pursed his lips, Zhao Kuangyin's idea is too extreme, how can there be such a naïve idea in the world? But it is this extreme idea that can find him. Zhao Kuangyin has been with them for a very long time, and he actually knows more about Guo Xin than himself, since Zhao Kuangyin thinks that if he has such a chance, let him go.

"How much time do you think it will take?"

"At least in January, at most in March, I will definitely come back. ”

Compared with ordinary people, the speed of going to Fengzhou Zhao Kuangyin is already very fast, but Chai Rong still feels that it is not fast enough. Because he doesn't know how long he can last, maybe it will be gone in half a month. It doesn't matter if he can have an extra year, but Chai Rong really doesn't know how long he can live.

"Well~!General Zhao has worked hard, this is for the safety of the entire Great Zhou, the prosperity and stability of the entire Central Plains, as long as the letter can be recovered, it will not matter if the widow's life can live for a few more years. ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, as long as Fan Xiang succeeds in stealing the blood of the Qilin, Your Majesty can dominate the world for twenty years. ”

Chai Rong nodded and said, "There is a little hope, but the hope is not very big." You and I know Fan Zhen's martial arts in my hearts, and he relies on his identity as Lei Hong's son-in-law to be able to enter and exit freely in the Lei King's Mansion. Let him steal the most important thing in the Thunder King's Mansion...... It's not that easy. ”

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against thieves day and night, and I think there is a great chance. Because Fan Zhen has always been upright, and that drop of Qilin blood was prepared for Fan Zhen's son Lei Hailong, that is Fan Zhen's own son, who wouldn't think about his son? So Lei Hong never dreamed that Fan Zhen would steal the Qilin blood and give it to Your Majesty. But...... Chancellor was worried about another possibility. Lei Fang beside Fan Zhen has also drunk the blood of the unicorn, and the temptation of being old and rejuvenated is not something that ordinary people can resist. If he used a slightly more selfish idea to speculate on the quality, he might not be able to send the Qilin blood to His Majesty. ”

Chai Rong was initially worried about whether Fan Zhen could steal the Qilin blood, after Zhao Kuangyin said this, the probability of Fan Zhen stealing the Qilin blood was actually very high, but there was another problem, whether he would give it to himself after stealing it, and this was the most critical question.

Think about it carefully, in fact, there is not much difference between who is the emperor for Fan Zhen, he is already the prime minister, and his status cannot be higher than now. As a civil official, even if he goes into battle to kill the enemy, it will not fall on his head, and his life should be very happy.

Because Fan Zhen is now married to a concubine, and the concubine is pregnant again, he is reluctant to die. Lei Fang and the concubine are both young and beautiful, but they are old and ugly, can he stand it himself? As long as he swallows the blood of the unicorn in his stomach, he can restore twenty years of youth, which is also a great temptation for a person who is old and his youth is about to disappear completely.

The quality of the model is upright, but there is also a time for integrity. When he had a hundred taels of silver, he didn't care about the gain or loss of a penny, and everyone was upright at this time. But if he only had a penny, would he care about the gain or loss of a hundred taels of silver?

Even Chai Rong couldn't say whether Fan Zhen would give him the stolen Qilin blood, but it was impossible to ask it at this time, and this kind of question couldn't be asked.

Fan Zhen has already gone to the Thunder King's Mansion, and now he can only wait for news, and when he waits for Fan Zhen's news, he is a loyal minister, if he can't wait...... That's it, it doesn't make a difference anyway.

"That's it, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky. This method was originally thought up by Fan Zhen himself, and he couldn't talk back in the end, so now it's up to me to see if I can wait. Chai Rong said: "When is General Zhao going to leave?"

"The minister wants to set off again in ten days and a half months. ”

"If you don't leave immediately, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for King Qi to come back. Chai Rong didn't know why Zhao Kuangyin had to wait so long before leaving, but Zhao Kuangyin must have his reasons for doing this, and Chai Rong still trusted Zhao Kuangyin very much.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, if the minister leaves Bianliang City directly...... I'm afraid that no matter how fast I run, Your Majesty won't be able to come back. Therefore, the minister wanted to study a way to pass the Red Emperor Zhenyuan directly to His Majesty as soon as possible, so it would take more than ten days. Regardless of whether the minister can research it out or not, the minister will transfer part of his power to His Majesty to maintain his life and ensure that His Majesty's life is worry-free. ”

"It's possible for the Red Emperor True Yuan, but if a person runs out of oil and the lamp is dry, how can he prolong his life with internal force alone?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It is impossible to prolong your life, but the minister can make His Majesty immortal for the time being." Just like Wu Yan Hongyu back then, even though his longevity had long been exhausted, he still insisted on walking for more than a month and ran to Bianliang City. The minister can also follow this method to delay for His Majesty and wait for Fan Xiang to return. ”

"What's the point of doing that? What if Fan can't steal it back?"

"Do your best, listen to the will of God. ”
