Chapter 150: The Seal
On the second day, a team of Mongolian warriors came to pick up people and escorted Zhao Zhijing to the execution ground.
Although Zhao Zhijing knew that he was acting, when the matter came, when he thought of going to the court to be executed, he was still inevitably timid, and asked Qiu and Wang for help: "Master, uncle......"
Qiu Chuji saw that he was irritable, and reprimanded: "It's not time to cut off your head yet, what are you panicking about!"
As soon as Wang Chu knew that Kublai Khan's move was to force him, but he was in a disadvantageous situation, and he was helpless, he said to the Mongolian officer: "Please inform the prince, and say that we have something to discuss." ”
Kublai Khan did not let Qiu and Wang wait for a long time, and soon summoned them and still sat in the king's tent.
The king considered his words for a moment and said, "The scoundrel does not know the height of the sky, and he should be punished for his guilt." However, the so-called 'teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy', if you really want to be punished, you should also be punished by the old way, and I hope that the prince will release the bad man and give him a chance to reform himself. ”
Kublai Khan waved his hand and said: "This crime can only be borne by oneself, and how can a dummy person take the place? If the Taoist chief is not guilty and punished, how can I command the thousands of armies outside? ”
Wang Chu's temptation was blocked, so he had to say: "Is the prince really unwilling to give favors outside the law?"
Kublai Khan's face was embarrassed, and he said: "The Taoist chief has a request, that is, for the sake of the friendship between the Taoist chief and the ancestors, I should also do my best." But the law is unbreakable, but it makes it really difficult for me to do it. ”
At this time, Zicong, who was sitting on the side, said: "Lord Wang, the little monk has a strategy, but it is a little clumsy, but I don't know whether to say it or not?"
Kublai Khan said: "The master is too modest, and he has a clever plan. Tell me about it. ”
Qiu and Wang glanced at each other, and knew that they were about to see the dagger, so they sat down and listened quietly.
Zicong said: "The little monk's strategy is actually very simple. Zhao Daochang offended the majesty of our Great Mongolia, and if he wanted to pardon his capital crimes, only His Majesty the Great Khan had the right to do it, as long as the prince wrote to His Majesty the Great Khan for forgiveness, the problem would be solved. ”
Speaking of this, he changed his words, but said: "But if there is no special reason. Even if the prince is in the book, it is difficult to be effective, and it needs the cooperation of the Quanzhen Sect to be able to perform. ”
He mentioned that the Great Khan of Mongolia was the one who judged life and death, but where was the Great Khan now? It was just Empress Naima Zhen acting in the name of the Great Khan.
Wang Chuyi asked, "I don't know how the master wants me to cooperate with the Quanzhen Sect?"
Zicong said: "If His Majesty the Great Khan agrees to exercise the power of pardon. You need to get your religion to first ask for the seal of His Majesty the Great Khan. If the Quanzhen Sect had already been enthroned, then Daoist Zhao's death sentence could not be carried out immediately at this time. At that time, the prince will write to Zhao Daochang to ask for pardon for the death penalty, and the matter will be logical and will be completed in the near future. ”
Qiu saw that Kublai Khan had such an abacus. I couldn't help but be furious. The case was reprimanded: "You have been invaded by the land of my Han family and harmed the people of my Han family, since the establishment of my Quanzhen Sect, I have set up training to save the Han people from fire and water, how can I be enthroned by the people?"
Kublai Khan shook his head and said: "What Daoist Qiu said is too extreme, the Han people have lost the river and land, and the people have been displaced, who is the fault of the people? I have been given rulership in my place, and what is the wrong?"
Qiu Chuji was dumbfounded: "Every time the Mongolian army goes down to the city. And they will kill the defenseless people, and this is governance?"
Kublai Khan sighed: "If you succeed and bury all bones, let alone fight between the two armies? Even if you Han emperor has no less to kill his own people? If Daoist Qiu is resentful because of this, he should first resent your Han emperor." ”
Qiu Chuji was sad in his heart when he heard this, and replied a little weakly: "Whether it is a Mongolian person or a Song court, the Quanzhen Sect will not rely on relatives, and our Quanzhen Sect will only be maintained by the Han people." ”
Seeing that the conversation was about to reach an impasse, Zicong hurriedly said: "It is not too late for Qiu Dao to slow down for a moment before making a judgment, although the little monk said that the Quanzhen Sect needs to accept the edict of His Majesty the Great Khan, but the implementation of it does not necessarily require the Quanzhen Sect to obtain the edict. ”
Qiu Chuji said coldly: "Is the master deceiving the old man and his ears and his head is dizzy?
Zicong said: "Let's listen to the little monk's explanation." He asked again: "The current head of your sect is Ma Yu Ma Dao Master?"
Qiu Chuji thought about it, although the senior brother had passed away, but Senior Brother Liu had not officially taken over as the head of the sect, and theoretically the head of the Quanzhen Sect was still the master brother, so he nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Zicong said again: "In this way, the Ma Dao Master of your sect can accept the edict, and the Quanzhen Sect can still be independent." ”
Qiu Chuji said: "This is not good! Senior Brother Ma ......"
Wang Chuyi suddenly interrupted Qiu Chuji's words at this time and said, "If it is really only my Senior Brother Ma, this matter can be done. ”
Qiu Chuji was suddenly stunned in his heart, and said, "Senior brother, you ...... How can you ......?"
Wang Chuyi and Qiu Chuji's eyes looked at each other calmly, and said, "I'll explain this matter to Senior Brother later." ”
After many years of senior brothers, their trust in each other has been deep in their bones, and after a short hesitation, Qiu Chuji chose to believe in his junior brother.
When Kublai Khan saw that Qiu and Wang agreed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "The two Taoist leaders really know the general situation.
A clash of open and secret battles ended with the consent of Wang Chuyi.
After returning to the camp, Qiu Chuji asked solemnly: "Senior brother, why did you agree to be enthroned? What is the mystery of this?"
Wang Chuyi pointed to the outside of the tent, indicating that this place was not a place to talk, and then said, "Senior brother, let's go outside." ”
The mound had an opportunity, so he and the king went out of the camp tent until there were few people and went to a secluded place.
The Mongolian soldiers in this battalion gave a secret order, as long as Qiu and Wang did not break into any secret places, they could wander around.
"Okay, junior brother can talk now, right?" As soon as the two of them arrived at a place where no one was around, Qiu Chuji asked eagerly.
"Looking at Senior Brother's fiery temperament, do you really think that I will accept the Imperial Seal of the Mongolian People, so that Senior Brother will be infamy, and it will be difficult to settle under the spring?" Wang Chuyi said.
It's just a joke, and neither of them cares.
"I don't know if Senior Brother has noticed that what Monk Zicong has been saying all the time is to let Senior Brother accept the edict?" Wang Chuyi no longer hung people's appetite and asked.
"Oh, what's wrong with that?"
"That's crucial. Wang Chu looked upright and said: "I expected that Kublai Khan didn't know the news that the senior brother had died, so he chose the senior brother among the candidates who accepted the edict. ”
"Well, that's good. Qiu Chuji thought about it for a while, then understood, and said: "If this is not the case, he should ask who the next head of the sect is." ”
That's why I'm willing to accept their terms. Wang Chu smiled and said. (To be continued......)
