The prime minister trembled and did not dare to stretch out his hand.
The king frowned, and the vizier had to stretch out his hand, but it was the sleeve that was removed, revealing a bare arm.
The king was suspicious, and when he lifted the quilt, all his attendants fell to their knees in fright, not daring to move. The prime minister and his wife curled up on the bed, both dressed in monk's robes.
It is a capital crime to harbor monk's clothes, let alone wearing monk's clothes.
The king changed color and said, "Li Yuan, what excuse do you have?"
Prime Minister Li Yuan was so frightened that he almost fainted.
The great master came up and said: "Your Majesty is angry, I see that Prime Minister Li Yuan wearing monk's clothes is not his intention, but he was trapped by demons and demons. ā
When the prime minister heard that the national teacher had excused him, he hurriedly got down to the ground, knelt at the king's feet, and begged for forgiveness. And the prime minister's wife was lying upright on the bed, and she had already fainted from fright.
The second national teacher said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Yuan abides by the law and will never abandon the Tao and respect the Buddha." There must be something hidden in this. ā
The king remembered that Niangniang had become a monk in the palace, and all her maids and attendants had become monks, so he understood in his heart and said, "Aiqing, get up, I know you are innocent." ā
Li Yuan was overjoyed, and a breath surged up, and he chuckled, overjoyed, and swallowed his breath directly.
The king was shocked.
The great master smiled: "Don't panic, king, I'm here to save the prime minister's life." A golden pill appeared in his hand and placed it on the end of the prime minister's nose, and a trace of aura entered the prime minister's nostrils, and the prime minister woke up slowly.
The great master put the golden pill on the nose of the prime minister's wife, and the golden light entered the body of the lady from the nostrils, and the lady also woke up slowly.
The king ordered that everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion should not leak the news, the Prime Minister and his wife were framed by demons, and everyone in the king's **** was not guilty.
Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and their backs were wet with cold sweat.
The great master said: "Your Majesty, the civil and military officials dare not come to the court today, all of them are sick, I think, they were all framed by demons last night, they must all have become bald, wearing monk's clothes, unable to go out." ā
The king hurriedly said: "Great master, what should I do like this? I cannot kill my civil and military officials, but I cannot fail to obey the laws of the state." ā
The Great Master said, "Your Majesty, I have one more news to report to Your Majesty. ā
"Great Teacher, please speak. ā
"The Three Kingdoms Division went to arrest the demon monkey, and found that the people of the whole city had been shaved by the demon monkeys, wearing hundreds of clothes, and every house was closed, and they had to wait until it was dark today to seize the door and escape from the capital. ā
The king was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and was speechless.
The great master said: "Your Majesty, what should be done now?"
The king said, "When will the Three Kingdoms Division catch that demon monkey?"
The great master said: "King, that demon monkey has great powers, I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch in a short time." Although the people of the city and the civil and military officials have committed capital crimes, they are all victimized by demon monkeys, Your Majesty, it is better for you to issue a decree to pardon the people of the city and the civil and military officials from their crimes. When we catch the demon monkey and break the demon monkey's spell, everything will naturally return to its normal state. ā
The king said, "Great Master, did that demon monkey ever make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"
The Great Master said, "Yes, that demon monkey was not born of his parents, but of a stone, and he is stubborn by nature and does not obey discipline. Five hundred years ago, he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace and was named the Monkey King by the Jade Emperor. ā
The king was frightened and said, "That demon monkey is so powerful, can we resist it?"
The great master said: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although the demon monkey is powerful, there is only one person, and the three of us brothers will definitely be able to arrest him." ā
The king said, "Great Teacher, the safety of the country depends on the three of you. ā
The great master said: "Your Majesty, please first issue a pardon decree, pardon the lives of the civil and military officials and the people of the whole city, and all of them will be pardoned for the crime of wearing monk's clothes and shaving their heads. ā
The king said, "It is easy to pardon, but everyone comes and goes in monk's robes, and everyone is bald. ā
The great master said: "Your Majesty, pardoning the death penalty of hundreds of officials and people is not a decree to promulgate no longer destroying the Buddha, and there is no harm to the righteousness. ā
The king asked the prime minister, "Li Yuan Aiqing, what is your opinion?"
Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, first pardon the lives of the hundred officials and the people, and do not hold them accountable for all their sins, so that the hearts of the hundred officials and the people will be stable." As for the indecency of everyone coming and going with a bald head, and it is against the law, then let everyone wear a hat, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. ā
The king said, "As for the monk's robes, everyone comes and goes in monks' robes, and when you look at it, the streets are full of monks, which is not appropriate. ā
The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, this matter is to be done by the great master." My clothes have become monk's clothes, and my wife's clothes have not changed, but as soon as I put them on, they have become monk's clothes again. This kind of witchcraft can only be broken by asking the national teachers to do it. ā
The king looked at the two national teachers and said, "Two national teachers, is there a way to break this demon monkey's spell?"
The great master said: "King, we can break it. It's just that after exerting divine power, in case that demon monkey also ambushes helpers and attacks when our divine power is empty, I am afraid that we will be caught off guard by them. ā
The Second National Master said: "Your Majesty, our brother did not use divine power to break the demon monkey spell, but he saw through the demon monkey and his back hand, we want to protect the safety of Your Majesty and everyone in the palace, it is better to be cautious." ā
The king said: "This is that your divine power is not as strong as that demon monkey, two national teachers, that demon monkey is so powerful, the two national teachers might as well invite some friends to subdue the demon together." ā
The prime minister also said: "The two national teachers I am the Taoist immortals, I must know a lot of monks, since the country is in trouble, the national teacher is duty-bound to turn the tide, and please the two national teachers for the sake of the king and the people of the whole country, please invite more monks to come to our country to jointly defend against the enemy." ā
The great master said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please rest assured, as soon as my third brother returns, we will have a way to drive away the demon monkey." ā
The prime minister said: "Your Majesty, since the national teachers have a plan, then we should be patient." First of all, ask the king to issue a pardon and grant amnesty to the ministers and the people. ā
The king was helpless, so he issued a pardon, and the officials around him immediately took the note. An accompanying official took out the king's small jade seal, stamped the royal seal, and instructed the accompanying officials and the chief of guard in the prime minister's palace to announce the amnesty together.
As soon as the amnesty decree came out, all the civil and military officials escaped death, and they were grateful for the king's grace, and they went out one after another to the palace to thank the king for his grace. When the people of the city heard of the amnesty, they rejoiced, and everyone was grateful, and they all poured into the streets to thank the king for his grace.
For a time, the city was full of monks' clothes swaying, in order to cover the bald head, all kinds of hats appeared in an endless stream, which was spectacular. (To be continued.) )
