Junzhou City, the palace of Cui Wangfu of Dazhu Kingdom.

In a courtyard, there is a small pavilion, and two people are warming a pot of wine, drinking slowly.

At this time, it was the middle of the night in the middle of winter, there was no one around, there was no wind, but it was extremely cold, and it was very warm to drink this pot of wine.

The two people in the pavilion, one of them is of course the owner of Cui Wangfu, the only king with a different surname in Dawu Kingdom, Cui Ming, but the person opposite is something that many people can't imagine.

He is the leader of all the eunuchs in the palace of Emperor Wu, the intimate servant of Emperor Wu, and the father-in-law of De.

Gonggong De has never drunk alcohol, this is something that tens of thousands of palace eunuchs in the palace of Emperor Dawu know in their hearts, and it is a taboo that everyone in the court knows.

But they would not have thought that now Degong was drinking in Cui Wang's Mansion, and he was not using a small cup, but a big bowl.

Cui Ming seemed to be very familiar with his habits, and even placed a stove on the other side of the pavilion with an extra large copper kettle, it seems that Grandpa De can not only drink, but also drink a lot of alcohol.

At this time, the two of them were already five points drunk, and Father-in-law's face had not changed, but his eyes were a little red.

He glared at Cui Ming, but his voice changed from the previous sharp to deep and deep, and said, "Cui Ming, you can talk about today's meeting with Emperor Wu again." ”

Cui Ming didn't care about his father-in-law's name, he had a drink by himself, raised his head, his eyes were deep, and slowly recalled the scene that impressed him today, and told it eloquently.

Today, Emperor Wu ordered him to enter the palace, and he entered the palace of Emperor Wu as usual.

He keenly felt that the guards of the Dawu Emperor Palace were much stricter, in addition to adding a large number of Yulin Army soldiers to escort them, and the magic circles in some places of the Dawu Emperor Palace had also been opened, of course he knew the reason.

Entering a secret palace side room, Emperor Wu Wei Yu was waiting for him inside, when he entered, he unexpectedly found that there was no Gonggong De waiting outside, not even any guards, not even in secret, he was a little surprised in his heart, this is an extremely rare thing.

Wei Yu sat on it with a solemn expression, Cui Ming lowered his head and went in, and after saluting, Wei Yu did not give a seat as usual, but was silent for a while.

In the past, he was at least eight points sure of Wei Yu's thoughts, but today, it was really difficult for him to guess Wei Yu's thoughts, which made Cui Ming uneasy.

After a while, Wei Yucai said, "King Cui, have you received the news recently?"

Cui Ming's eyes rolled, knowing that Wei Yu was talking about the war that happened in southern Yunzhou recently, so he hurriedly said:

"Emperor Huiwu, the Yunzhou Legion has not dealt effectively with the rebellion of Buddhist monks, and Shang Gu has sent a letter to me to ask for guilt. This war was originally a sure one, and he had already gathered two large armies to surround all the Buddhist monks in Yunzhou in a small town, and only waited for an opportunity to wipe it out. ”

"But I didn't expect that there was a Buddha in the middle, and the general's heart was disturbed in the battlefield, and he was attacked by the evil monks before and after, which led to the defeat, and he begged Emperor Wu to be magnanimous, and forgive time, when he regrouped, and vowed to kill the evil monks. ”

Wei Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "Is that the young monk called 'Yifeng' who killed thousands of victims in the Xiaoshan Temple riot, carried the divine power attack of Confucian and Taoist disciples in Xuanming Square, and turned the tide in the rebellion of Mingwang Temple?"

Cui Ming replied respectfully, "Yes, Emperor Wu." ”

Wei Yu suddenly slapped the armrest and shouted: "Just such a person, from Junzhou City to the south of Yunzhou, turned the Great Martial Kingdom upside down, didn't I order them to be killed? Why is he still alive?"

Cui Ming was shocked in his heart, and thought, isn't it that Zhan Yanzhang of the Yulin Army has a disadvantage in his own division and has not completed the task, how can he blame me?

But he definitely didn't dare to answer like this, and hurriedly said, "Please forgive Emperor Wu." However, that person claims to be a giant of Buddhism and Taoism, I am afraid that he does have some origins, and he must be very cunning, please ask Emperor Wu for some time, and the minister will definitely sacrifice his head to Emperor Shengwu. ”

Wei Yu looked at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "Cui Ming, today we don't have to be called a monarch and a minister, or call us an old friend from before, you can also call me Wei Yu, let's have a good talk." ”

Cui Ming was extremely puzzled, he hadn't heard this name for decades, and he didn't dare to call him his real name for decades, why was it like this today?

He hurriedly replied, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Wei Yu stared at him for a while, and then didn't force it, and said, "Sit down, standing on the ground in winter, it's cold." ”

Cui Ming slowly moved to the side and sat sideways next to a mattress.

Wei Yu asked slowly: "Cui Ming, I've been thinking about it all this time, do you think it's wrong for me to order the extermination of Buddhism?"

Cui Ming was very shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Wei Yu, who had always been strong, to say such soft words, and he couldn't guess Wei Yu's mind today.

He pondered for a long time before he said carefully: "Emperor Wu, as the minister said before, the eight serious sins of Buddhism, one crime is as deep as one crime, and their so-called Buddhism has long been lost in selfish desires, so it hurts the people and harms the country and the people. ”

"Especially since they dare to resist in the face of your Golden Dragon Order, they despise the royal authority so much, and in a little time, it will become a great disaster. Emperor Wu is wise and martial, what's wrong?"

Wei Yu stared at him and asked, "Now that the Great Martial Kingdom is in such a stalemate, what should you do?"

Cui Ming immediately understood what he meant, and hurriedly replied:

"Back to Emperor Wu, the Holy Academy will send 30,000 elite disciples to carry the Confucian Art of War holy scroll and work with various legions to exterminate Buddhism and quell the rebellion. At the same time, the national teacher Yan Guizhen informed his ministers that he would send 40,000 disciples and Taoist soldiers to support the various legions. ”

"During this period of time, that wind has become more and more popular in the Buddhist Sangha, as if he has become the savior of Buddhism, and has become an example for those rebellious evil monks, and the ministers will form a martial soul group of elite Confucianism and Taoism cultivators, kill this person by any means, and cut off the arrogance of Buddhism!"

"Is it the Martial Spirit Regiment again?" Wei Yu squinted his eyes, as if he remembered a lot of things.

Cui Ming knew that the last time the Wuhun Regiment went to slaughter, it was his brother and sister-in-law.

Wei Yu suddenly smiled coldly and said, "You guys have a lot of discussions, and you have shared a lot of things for me." ”

Hearing this, Cui Ming hurriedly slid down from his seat, knelt on the ground, and said: "Emperor Wu Shengming, this is the intention of the ministers to serve the country loyally, and it is definitely not a private alliance with friends, let alone a private sake." At this time, the minister has already written a chapter, and tomorrow he will go up to the court, but today Shengwu asked, and the minister did not dare not answer. ”

Wei Yu brushed his sleeves and said lightly: "Get up." ”

Cui Mingcai slowly returned to his seat and pinched a cold sweat, Wei Yu's conversation with him today was murderous, but he didn't expect that more murderous words were still to come.

Wei Yu continued to ask, "In your opinion, how is Yan Guizhen?"

Cui Ming's heart began to beat the drum again, he no longer knew what happened to Wei Yu today, and the questions he asked were so tricky, but he told himself that the more times like this, the more calm he had to be.

He thought for a moment and said, "The national teacher has done his best for the Dawu Empire and is a model for his ministers. ”

Wei Yu snorted coldly and said, "It's a good one, people are tossed and half-dead, but they haven't done anything well." You still dare to ask me for leave, saying that the Taiqingmen Heavenly Machine Platform was bombarded by divine thunder, and the study of the secret method of astral magic was affected, what a group of inappropriate waste!"

Cui Ming didn't speak, he knew that there was no part for him to speak in this matter, and everything he said was wrong.

Wei Yu paused, and threw out a question that Cui Ming had felt the most murderous intent so far, and he asked Cui Ming seemingly unintentionally:

"Recently, there have been some rumors that the prince believes in Buddhism, does not ask about state affairs, and lives a negative life, which is contrary to my intentions, and it is difficult for such a stubborn person to take on the heavy responsibility of the prince, what do you think?"

Cui Ming knelt down again with a pout, and said tremblingly: "Emperor Wu, this is the theory of a traitorous person, Emperor Wu must not be trusted! Those traitorous demons are ten thousand times more hateful than the rebellious evil monks, and they really deserve to be killed!"

When Wei Yu heard this, his face did not change much, but he said lightly: "Oh, King Cui answered quickly, he should have thought about it for a long time, right?"

Cui Ming was stunned when he heard this.
