Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Which sects?" Fawu said.

"Several sects bordering the Tianhai Sword Sect may be harassed. Ask the temple for details." Fakong said.

"With so many sects, I'm afraid..." Fawu hesitated.

Fakong said: "Brother, there are so many sects, but as long as we catch one of them and beat it up, it will be enough to create enough deterrence. It's almost the same as beating the snow wolf."

"So..." Fawu smiled: "I understand, leave it to me!"

I was very happy to enter the first rank, but there are many first rank in the temple now, and it's not rare.

So I can't feel the rarity and glory of the first rank in the temple.

This time he has the opportunity to show his sainthood in front of people, even if he has good Buddhist teachings, he can't help but be eager to try.

Showing sainthood in front of people is a natural nature, which is difficult to overcome.

Yi Wangfu

Back Garden

Yi Wang Chu Yun paced in the pavilion with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Song and Zhou Kun sat at the stone table.

Zhu Song was like a pine tree, his face solemn, and he became more and more strong and thin.

Zhou Kun, who was usually like Maitreya Buddha, put away his smiling face and frowned.

"Have you come up with an idea?" Chu Yun snorted.

Zhu Song and Zhou Kun both shook their heads.

"Isn't there a win-win solution?" Chu Yun stopped pacing and sat down at the stone table, sighing, "Is the good situation going to be ruined?"

"Without you, my lord, no one has a backbone," Zhu Song shook his head and said, "This is unavoidable."

Zhou Kun sighed, "There is no leader, Your Highness."

"Let Miao'er replace me?"

"It's different." Zhu Song shook his head, "No matter how wise and powerful the prince is, he is only the prince after all."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. Is there no one who can do it?"

"My lord, now it seems that we can only lie in wait and wait for you to come back." Zhu Song said in a deep voice, "By that time, my lord will have a lot of responses and will win without winning."

"Humph, I'm afraid that by that time, it will be useless for me to come back." Chu Yun said unhappily, "They all became Lao Liu's people."

"..." Zhu Song and Zhou Kun were silent.

This situation is very likely.

Without a leader, I'm afraid that the Yi Wang faction will have no power to fight back and will be quickly disintegrated and eaten away by the Ying Wang one by one.

"Alas!" Chu Yun slapped the table, sighed heavily, and looked towards the forbidden palace, helpless and confused.

He really didn't understand what his father was going to do.

If he sent himself away, wouldn't the entire court belong to the sixth son?

Could it be that his father really cared about the sixth son? Did he want the sixth son to succeed him?

When he thought of this, he was really unwilling and restless. He stood up and paced with his hands behind his back.

"Your Highness, for now, we can only find a way to reduce the losses and keep the backbone, and we can't care about the rest." Zhu Song said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid that the backbone can't be saved." Zhou Kun shook his head.

Zhu Song said, "Prince, this is actually a good thing."

Zhou Kun's eyes widened and he said in a lost voice, "Old Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about? Good thing? What kind of good thing is this?"

Chu Yun stared at Zhu Song, "Mr. Zhu, what do you say?"

Zhu Song said, "We had a large number of people before, but some were capable ministers, while others were mediocre and opportunistic, causing trouble at every turn, which ruined the reputation of the prince."

Chu Yun nodded in agreement.

I was really tired of cleaning their butts. According to my temper, I would have kicked these guys out of the court and went back to my hometown to farm.

Zhu Song said, "Take this opportunity to send these people out and keep those truly capable ministers. Not only will it not hurt, but it will be streamlined and condensed. Once the prince comes back, even if the momentum is not big, it will be powerful enough."

"Well, that's true." Chu Yun nodded.

Zhou Kun said: "If that's the case, don't send them away too easily. You should pretend that you tried your best to keep them but failed in the end. This can also distract the King of England and delay time until you come back, Your Majesty."

"Come back?" Chu Yun sighed: "I don't know when I can come back."

"..." The two were silent again.

There was no way to guess when they would come back.

They had no idea how the future would change. They might come back in three to five years, or they might never come back.

Zhu Song said: "As the saying goes, loyal ministers are revealed in times of turmoil. Those who stay at this time are the ones who are truly worthy of Your Majesty's trust. It is not a bad thing that the big waves wash away the sand and leave the real gold."

Chu Yun sighed: "This is also a helpless move."

Zhou Kun felt that the current situation was also helpless. He was really powerless and could not do much, so he changed the subject: "Your Majesty, what did Master Fakong say?"

"Master Fakong——?" Chu Yun shook his head: "Master Fakong helped me see the good and bad luck, and that was all he could do."

Zhu Song shook his head.

He had advised Chu Yun to make friends with Master Fakong and have more contact with him, but Chu Yun refused.

Chu Yun was concerned about the emperor's attitude. He felt that since the emperor was far away from Fakong and didn't get close to Fakong, he, as a prince, shouldn't get too close to Fakong, lest he upset the emperor and lose the big picture for the small.

Zhu Song could only sigh inwardly that the prince really underestimated Fakong's power, which was sometimes irreplaceable and could even reverse the situation.

Unfortunately, it was too late to burn incense and worship Buddha now.

Then he was refreshed.

It was better to burn incense and worship Buddha later than not to burn incense and worship Buddha.

"Prince, it's better to get closer to Master Fakong." Zhu Song said softly, "At this time, I believe the emperor can understand."

Chu Yun sighed, "Mr. Zhu, it's not that I don't want to befriend Master Fakong, it's that Master Fakong doesn't want to befriend me."

Zhu Song said, "From Master Fakong's perspective, it's wise to try to keep a distance from the prince and the Ying prince and not get involved in the court dispute."

"Master Fakong is such a smart person." Chu Yun snorted.

Zhou Kun said, "How about we go and get in touch with Master Fakong? Ask for Buddhist teachings?"

Zhu Song looked at him.

Zhou Kun laughed and said, "I also understand a little bit of the true taste of Buddhism."

Zhu Song looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Kun said, "Old Zhu, I'm not just eating for free."

He has been studying Buddhism these days and asking for advice from several monks.

Zhu Song nodded, "I admire you."

This old Zhou is also a thoughtful person.

Chu Yun said, "It would be great if you could get close to Master Fakong. He can see some things in advance, and it would be a great help to us if he tells us."

"That's right." Zhou Kun nodded hurriedly.

Zhu Song shook his head.

Zhou Kun glanced at him: "Old Zhu, what strange things do you have to say?"

"What kind of person is Master Fakong? You are so utilitarian, I am afraid you can't get close to him at all." Zhu Song shook his head: "Don't waste your thoughts."

Zhou Kun was stunned.

Chu Yun frowned and nodded helplessly.

Master Fakong looks very gentle and has a good temper, but he has a steep and lofty mind.

Let's see how many people can really get close to him?

"Old Zhu," Zhou Kun snorted: "I went to the Vajra Temple. Could it be that Master Fakong would drive me away?"

Zhu Song said: "Master Fakong will avoid you."

Zhou Kun scratched his head.

Zhu Song said: "First erase the utilitarian heart, then there is hope to get close to Master Fakong. In my opinion, this matter can't be rushed, take your time, and get familiar with him first."

"Well, this matter will be done slowly." Chu Yun nodded.

Zhu Song pondered for a moment and said softly: "Prince, we actually forgot the most important thing."

"What is it?" Zhou Kun asked hurriedly.

Zhu Song glanced around.

Zhou Kun stood up and walked around the pavilion, then came back.

Zhu Song lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, that position... is actually not determined by the power of the court, but by the emperor, who decides it with one word."

Chu Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and was quite touched.

Zhou Kun nodded in agreement.

Chu Yun stood up and paced, walking faster and faster, his spirits became more and more high-spirited, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He sat back at the table and smiled, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhu's reminder, we would have been trapped in a misunderstanding without knowing it."

He sighed, "As expected of Mr. Zhu, you see things clearly."

Zhu Song clasped his fists and said nothing more.

Chu Yun sighed, "Indeed, in the final analysis, it was still a word from my father, not anything else."

He then laughed and said, "Even if everyone was taken away by Lao Liu, what does it matter? It's just right to see who is truly loyal!"

Even if all the power in the court was taken away by Lao Liu, my father only needed to say a word to inherit the throne, and no matter how strong Lao Liu was, he could only stare blankly.

The most obedient one in the army is Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu only listens to his father, so no matter how powerful Lao Liu is in the court, it will not affect his succession to the throne.

As long as he does his job well and comes back safely, he will be able to sit firmly in that position!

He was relieved.

"My Lord, there is another urgent matter." Zhu Song said, "That is to select guards."

Chu Yun's expression became serious.

He has indeed been thinking about this matter.

"The selection of guards must be very careful." Zhu Song said.

This matter is the most important.

Compared with the power ownership of the court, this matter is much more important, and it is related to life and death. If people die, nothing can be mentioned.

Zhou Kun said, "I don't trust others, so let's transfer people from our mansion."

Zhu Song shook his head, "Not enough."

This time, there needs to be enough guards to resist assassination.

"There are ninety-eight places for the entourage." Chu Yun said in a deep voice, "Except for a dozen attendants, the rest are guards."

"Then choose eighty guards?" Zhu Song said.

Chu Yun nodded slowly.

Zhou Kun said: "Your Highness, I think that we don't need so many guards. It's better to bring more talents. I'll go with you."

Chu Yun frowned and said: "Mr. Zhou, you should stay. I don't need to do anything over there. On the contrary, things here are very important."

As a hostage, what I have to do in Tianjing is to eat and drink, don't make trouble, protect myself, and stay there for a long time.

They don't need to make plans.

Zhu Song said: "Your Highness, let Lao Zhou go. The situation over there does need someone to deal with it. It may not be easy."

Zhou Kun nodded vigorously.

Chu Yun pondered.

Zhou Kun said: "Your Highness, I think you can ask your Highness to transfer some guards. The rest are our own guards. The rest of the Southern Supervisory Department, the Green Clothes Department and the Shenwu Mansion cannot be trusted."

I'm afraid that Prince Ying will take risks and let someone pretend to be Dayun's assassin assassinate the prince.

It is not easy to investigate in a foreign country. If there is no flaw, who can compete with him for the throne?

So we must be on guard, especially to prevent the guards from being bribed by Prince Ying, or even Prince Ying's men.

Chu Yun nodded slowly: "Well, I will tell Lao Jiu."

"It would be best if we can find a few worshippers from the Vajra Temple." Zhou Kun sighed.

Zhu Song shook his head.

According to Master Fakong's temperament, how could he agree?

Chu Yun was in high spirits: "I'll go and ask my father!"

——

The bright morning sun shone on the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple.

After Fakong finished his stroll, while he was reading in the Sutra Library, Chu Ling ran in and told him a piece of news. The emperor asked the Vajra Temple to send four great masters to guard Chu Yun.

Fakong looked at Chu Ling in surprise, doubting whether what she said was true or not.
