Rushing from Tongtai Temple to the palace in the dragon chariot, Xiao Yan held the battle report that Cao Jingzong sent to him in his hand for hundreds of miles, and he could not have imagined that in less than a year, the north gate of his big beam would be trampled by the iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Since the sixth brother Xiao Hong replaced his Northern Expedition, he has told him not to lose another inch of land, but he didn't expect that these six brothers would lose more than ten cities in such a short period of time, and now Zhongli City, which is close to Huaishui in the north, is also crumbling. If it weren't for Cao Jingguo and Na Changyizhi rising up against the enemy, he rescued him, the prince's younger brother, from the chaos several times, but I am afraid that these six brothers would have died a few times.

He hurried back to the palace from Tongtai Temple today, and he had not been in the court for a long time, so how could he explain Xiao Hong's "outstanding exploits" in the face of the hundreds of civil and military officials he had not seen for a long time? As soon as he thought of this sixth brother who had escaped from the battle, his heart was like a big stone blocked, and he couldn't breathe.

"Why hasn't General Wei been in the early dynasty?" Xiao Yan looked at the civil and military officials in the hall, but did not see Wei Rui's figure, his brows furrowed slightly, in the past few years as a monk, he knew very little about this resourceful general, he knew in his heart that in recent years, he was obsessed with Buddhism, and he saw the affairs of the court more and more lightly, but this Wei Rui did not believe in gods or ghosts, did not believe in Buddhism or religion, Xiao Yan naturally understood that he had a very high level of cultivation, and never showed half dissatisfaction in front of himself.

"Back to the emperor, General Wei has been unwell recently and is recuperating at home. The deacon and eunuch hurriedly replied.

"This morning, after the court, the imperial doctor was sent to see him. Xiao Yan was a little anxious in his heart, if Wei Rui's illness was not cured, who in this court could take on this great responsibility and go to solve Zhongli's danger?

"Your Majesty, now that the war in the north is tight, I hope that the emperor will return to the customs from the Tongtai Temple and come back to preside over the overall situation!" Shen Yue saw that Xiao Yan was also full of worries at this time, and the words that had been held in his heart for a long time had to be said at this time.

"Ah, this, the joint monk, did not delay the disposal of national affairs!" Xiao Yan naturally knew the meaning of the hundred officials in the court, they went to Tongtai Temple several times to ask him to come back to be the emperor, but he liked to be a monk too much, and wanted him to leave this Tongtai Temple, he was indeed a little reluctant. It's just that the critical matter in front of him, if he doesn't care about it, he is afraid that it will be up and down the government and the opposition, and the opposition will be even louder.

"Your Majesty, now that the emperor is still focusing on national affairs, can the matter of becoming a monk in Tongtai Temple be postponed?"

"What Lord Shen said is extremely true, Your Majesty, now that the thieves of the Northern Wei Dynasty are becoming more and more rampant, I hope that the emperor will focus on the overall situation. Xie Wei couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Yan didn't speak, but he was extremely dissatisfied with the two of them in his heart, these two and himself were both Jingling Eight Friends, relying on the feelings of several people many years ago, speaking in front of these hundred officials was not saving himself any face.

"Your Majesty, please also give priority to state affairs. The hundred officials in the hall finally couldn't help it, and they all knelt down and spoke.

"Alas, I don't know the mood of the hundred officials? It's just that I, the emperor, have always been a golden mouth, since I have said that I have been a monk in Tongtai Temple for three years, and now this period is not satisfied, if I come back, wouldn't it violate my prestige as the Ninety-Five?" The dissatisfaction in Xiao Yan's words made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty feel a chill in their hearts, this Xiao Yan has always been unable to listen to the words of loyalty, just now the hundred officials were a little emotional because of the war, at this time, as soon as the emperor spoke, most of them calmed down and did not dare to say anything more.

"Your Majesty, Weichen naturally understands that the emperor's words are Chrysostom, and it is just a matter of becoming a monk, and there is a way to solve it. Shen Yue thought for a moment and suddenly spoke.

"Oh, is there any way to remedy it?" Xiao Yan was also interested after hearing this, he naturally wanted to use a foolproof solution to the current crisis.

"Weichen can redeem the emperor with incense money. Shen Yue didn't know if the emperor could agree to his own words, but now this is the best way he can think of.

"Good idea, Prime Minister's move is really good, it can be described as the best of both worlds. Xie Wei naturally admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of Daliang's Jiangshan Sheji, we are willing to work with Lord Shen to redeem the emperor with incense money. The hundreds of officials also hurriedly agreed.

Xiao Yan saw that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had the same idea as Shen Yue, Xie Wei and others, although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't want to say anything more, so he had to nod his head and agree.

"Since the Aiqing are so loyal and patriotic, the Union has no choice but to obey the will of the people. It's just that ------," he suddenly remembered, "it's just that for the Dharma, Lian also has a matter to discuss with the hundred officials." ”

Shen Yue's heart sank, and now the treasury of Daliang is empty, the reason for this is that although the war expenses on this border for many years are large, the emperor's expenses for setting up Buddhist halls and building temples are far greater than the army on the border. When he thought of this, he felt too much helplessness in his heart, but he couldn't explain it.

"I have heard for a long time that Patriarch Bodhidharma's Buddhism is profound, and I intend to invite Patriarch Bodhidharma to come to Daliang to explain the scriptures and study Buddhism.

"This ----- the emperor's promotion of Buddhism is a move to benefit the people, and the lower officials naturally approve of it. After hearing this, Xie Wei hurriedly echoed.

All the officials naturally understood what Lord Xie meant, the emperor had already made concessions, so they, the civil and military officials, naturally had to make concessions, and the emperor's heart would be calm.

Xiao Yan was slightly relieved after hearing the secondment of the hundred officials, although it was redeemed by the hundred officials with incense money, but this country is still their Xiao family, his Xiao Yan's words are the holy decree, once it is proposed, no one dares to put forward a negative opinion, this is his Xiao Yan's victory.

"In this case, the alliance will send a heavy army to the north and vow to recapture the lost city!"

At this time, Wei Rui, because of days of running and hard work, was finally tired and sick, he quietly returned to the capital from Yongzhou, he had a high fever for several days, and today the high fever has just subsided, and his mind began to think about the layout when he left, where are the loopholes.

"General, the imperial doctor sent by the emperor is waiting in the lobby, do you want to ask him to come over and treat the general?"

"Imperial Doctor, sent by the Emperor?" Wei Rui was shocked, the Emperor sent the Imperial Doctor, could it be that something happened.

"Yes, please. ”

Wei Rui was taken aback when he saw Yao Seng Yuan walking in, he hurriedly got up from the couch and greeted him: "Doctor Yao, how can Huaiwen be virtuous, thank you for a big fight?"

"General Wei lie down quickly, the general's words are wrong, if there is no General Wei to protect the family and defend the country, how can I sit in the capital and be the emperor's imperial doctor?"

"Doctor Yao, please take a seat, please take a seat. Wei Rui still struggled to sit up.

"Looking at General Wei's complexion, I'm afraid that this illness is not just a period of time, right?" Yao Seng Yuan looked at Wei Rui's complexion, and his heart sank slightly.

"I've been weak and dizzy for years, and I've been treated by many miracle doctors, but nothing can be done. Wei Rui sighed softly, if he knew what the disease was, he would not have anything in his heart, but he still did not get better after many years of treatment, and he was very anxious in his heart.

"The general has been fighting for many years, his energy is too exhausted, and he has not been able to recuperate in time after being injured, which is a disease of accumulation. After Yao Shengyuan checked Wei Rui's pulse, his brows furrowed slightly, when the emperor ordered him to come to see Wei Rui, he didn't expect that the general's illness turned out to be so serious, he originally thought that after just taking a look, he would be able to prescribe a few pairs of tonic pills and eat it, but after taking the pulse, his mood became heavy.

"Life and death are fate, I Wei Huaiwen didn't think about it so much, let's live one day at a time. Wei Rui smiled faintly, this Yao Divine Doctor was very fast.

"The emperor sent me here this time to make sure I cure your illness. Yao Shengyuan was much more cautious when he spoke at this time than when he first came.

"Oh, is it difficult?" Wei Rui frowned, the emperor's move must have encountered all kinds of difficulties, so he would do this.
