my wife is mulan

Early morning, Pingcheng, Yongan Palace.

Under the service of Zong Ai and several young eunuchs, Tuoba Tao put on a dragon robe, put on a jade crown, and walked out of the palace with a sword hanging around his waist.

At this time, General He Guli, the leader of the Huben army, was walking through the corridor with his sword in hand. He stopped in front of Tuoba Tao and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, the spies stationed outside Xiaosheng Temple have sent a message!"

"Oh?" Tuoba Tao frowned, "What's the news?"

"The spies sent news that more than a dozen nuns from the Master's Kingdom of Tianzhu came to Xiaosheng Temple. They opened an altar in Xiaosheng Temple to pass on precepts. All nuns in Xiaosheng Temple have officially taken ordained to become monks!"

Tuoba Tao wondered: "Didn't those nuns become ordained a long time ago? What's the difference between being ordained and formally becoming a ordained?"

Zong Ai has believed in Buddhism in the past two years, and has some understanding of Buddhist affairs. He said to Tuoba Tao: "Your Majesty, this is naturally different! A monk must be ordained to be a formal monk. Before that, nuns Because there is no master who has attained the Tao to pass down the precepts, it cannot be regarded as a formal monk. Now there are masters who have attained the Tao from Tianzhu to pass on the precepts. If you are forced to return to the vulgar world after breaking the precepts, it will be a bad reputation!"

Tuoba Tao's complexion immediately changed, and he was furious: "It's really unreasonable, these Indian nuns are so bold, they spread the Dharma in our Great Wei casually, with my consent? Heguli, pass on my will , send someone to arrest these Indian nuns!"

Chapter 344 Tuoba Tao destroyed Buddha because of her?

When Zong Ai heard it, what can I do?A few Indian nuns came to preach and did nothing wrong. Your Majesty the Emperor will arrest people if he is upset. There is no reason!Are you afraid of being laughed at when you speak out?He believes in Buddhism, and subconsciously feels that he wants to speak for Buddhism.

Zong Ai immediately stood up and bowed before He Guli agreed, "Your Majesty, the influence of Buddhism in our Great Wei Dynasty is too great. If there is no sufficient reason, it may cause a strong backlash. Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor. Such a trivial incident will inevitably leave people with an excuse. Besides, these bhikkhunis are from Tianzhu. If His Majesty wants to arrest them because of such a trivial matter, the foreign barbarians in the surrounding countries will think that I am immodest. Your Majesty, please think twice !"

When Zong Ai first said it, Tuoba Tao was still very angry, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt that it made sense, yes, I can't let those foreign barbarians think that I am immodest!

Tuoba Tao then waved his hands at He Guli: "Tell people to keep watching!"

He Guli didn't know whether the emperor asked him to send someone to keep watching Wan Yutong or those Tianzhu nuns, so he decided to keep an eye on them all, and he promised: "Observe the order!"

"Go, go to court!" Tuoba Tao walked forward after finishing speaking.

Zong Ai immediately led the eunuchs to follow, and soon arrived at the Tai Chi Hall.

The ministers were already waiting in the Taiji Hall, and when they saw the emperor entering the hall, they bowed down one after another: "The ministers are waiting to meet His Majesty!"

Tuoba Tao untied his saber and put it beside him, knelt on the cushion, raised his hand and said, "Everyone is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The ministers stood up after thanking each other, retreated to the two sides and stood opposite each other.

Tuobatao suppressed the anger that was caused by the monk from Tianzhu preaching the precepts to Wan Yutong just now, he glanced at the officials below, and talked about the business: "My lords, the last time this dynasty sent troops to attack the Zhuzhu people was four years ago. Right? That time the Rouran people ran fast and were not seriously injured. In the past few years, they took advantage of my attack on Hu Xia and repeatedly sent troops to invade the fortress, killing my strong men, and taking away women and livestock. It’s a big trouble for my confidant! I plan to send troops to attack Rouran, what do you think?”

The ministers in the court suddenly started talking, and many of them whispered to the ministers around them that this matter was too hasty, and they might not be able to win.

At this time, King Babasong of Beiping stood up, shook his voluminous sleeves, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Liu Song of the Southern Dynasty has been watching the south for two years. If I send troops to attack Rouran this year, I may be killed." With Liu Song's attack, not to mention Hu Xia's remnant forces still there, and Beiyan in the northeast who are dishonest, the old minister thinks it's better to postpone the attack on Zhuzhu!"

Although Ba Basong did not expressly object, he had actually expressed his opinion and position, and he did not agree to send troops to Rouran.

After Babasong was pulled out, several important court officials stood up and expressed their opposition one after another. These people are quite important people in the court and the opposition.

Tuoba Pi, King of Leping, is also an ambitious man. In the past few years, Tuoba Tao has fought everywhere, and he is almost on the verge of great achievements. If Tuoba Tao defeats the Rouran people and obtains the full support of the military, he, the King of Leping What hope is there for sitting on that throne?

He immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also think that it is too hasty to send troops to attack the Zhuzhu people now. It is not appropriate for us to rush to send troops to Rouran because we are not fully prepared against the remnants of Liu Song, Beiyan and Hu Xia. What's more, because Xi Jin and others were defeated and captured last year, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were wiped out, and now they have not recovered their vitality! But Rouran is sparsely populated. If we want to attack Rouran, it must be a laborious expedition and a waste of food, grass and military resources. There are so many, the imperial court can’t afford it now!”

After Tuoba Pi, Shanglang Liu Jie also stood up to express his veiled opposition, listing a lot of reasons.

Tuoba Tao's face turned dark when he heard it, but he couldn't refute it.

At this time, Taichangqing Cui Hao stepped forward. Cui Hao is talented, strategic, proficient in astronomy and geography, and he is also handsome. In the words of later generations, he is a proper handsome man. But she couldn't tell her age, and her skin was fairer and smoother than women's.

"I think His Majesty's decision to send troops to attack Rouran is a shocking move to stabilize the country!"

Tuoba Tao saw that it was Cui Hao, and after hearing his words, he was overjoyed

, raised his hand and said, "Cui Qing, tell me your opinion!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Hao agreed, and immediately said: "Since the death of Liu Yu in the Southern Dynasty, the vitality has not been recovered, and it does not pose a big threat to our dynasty. If your majesty wants to pass through the north, he must attack the powerful country Hu Xiahe first. Worm, now that Hu Xia has been maimed by our army, it is only a matter of time before he perishes! On the other hand, Worm is so arrogant that he often provokes Wei, but the previous few times he sent troops did not really hit him hard! Our court has caused heavy losses, and at this time they are arrogant, we will mobilize heavy troops to take advantage of the enemy's underestimation and drive straight in. As long as we catch them by surprise and catch them unawares, we will surely win a big victory!"

Leping Wang Tuobapi saw that what Cui Hao said was reasonable and well-founded, he was very anxious, and he gave Shangling Liu Jie a wink, Liu Jie saw it, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and coughed twice, which caused Taishiling Zhang Yuan to panic Notice.

Taishi Ling is in charge of astronomy and calendar, and the ancients advocated divination of good and bad with the study of astrology.

Zhang Yuan looked over and saw Liu Jie winking at him, he immediately understood, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this year is the year of Jisi, which belongs to the year of Sanyin, Taibai star is in the west, so we can't send troops this year, otherwise there will be disasters! "

Cui Hao immediately retorted: "In ancient times, people often said that if a dog swallows the sun, there will be disasters, and it is not appropriate to go to war, but now these days, there are frequent celestial phenomena where a dog swallows the moon, so there should be punishment! Zhu Zong is a member of my Great Wei clan, and they Rebelling as a vassal is a serious crime, and now we, the Great Wei, send troops to crusade against the guilty country, which is to strengthen the punishment!"

Zhang Yuan was so debating that he couldn't speak, and retreated to the side.

Another official named Xu Bian stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Rouran is located in the wild and cold land of Mobei. Even if we get their land, we cannot cultivate it, and even if we capture their subjects, we cannot drive them. Besides, they It comes and goes like the wind, has no fixed place to live, and has no rules to follow, so it is difficult to tame it completely, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Cui Hao debated this remark again, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yuan and Xu Bian are officials in charge of astronomy and calendar. If it is their job to talk about astrology and astronomy, but if it is about personnel affairs and the current situation, it is not their director. Rouran was originally a vassal of my dynasty, and she betrayed it later. Now my dynasty wants to send troops to fight against the culprits of the traitors, take back our land and people, and let them be used by our dynasty. How can we say that they are useless? Where is it? If it is really possible to use the astrology to predict good and bad luck, before our dynasty attacked Tongwan City, these two people used the astrology to say that there was a bad omen, but what about now?"

At this time, He Lianchang, the former king of Hu Xiaguo, was among the generals, and Zhang Yuan and Xu Bian were ashamed to speak.

Tuoba Tao was very happy to see Cui Hao fighting all the Confucians with his tongue, so that no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to step forward to argue, and immediately asked: "Cui Qing thinks when is the best time to send troops?"

Cui Hao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, April is the time when Mobei is warming up. The weeds grow wildly, and the creepers will definitely scatter around to graze, and the troops cannot be concentrated. I will send troops in April, and attack them by surprise. We will succeed if we attack them one by one. I'm afraid that the generals won't go deep into the hinterland of Rouran, and they won't be able to win all!"

Tuoba Tao was overjoyed, and immediately issued a majestic and loud decree: "My will has been decided, the Huben Army, the Zongzi Army, the Left and Right Sides, the Guard Army, and the Guerrilla Army will follow me to the expedition! During my expedition, the King of Beiping and the Duke of Guangling will stay behind. Capital!"

Ba Basong and Lou Fulian stood up and clasped their fists in agreement: "Old minister obeys the order!"

Tuobatao continued to decree: "Shang Ling Liu Jie, order you to quickly raise supplies such as food, grass and military equipment. You and your family perform their own duties and do not slack off. The matter of the expedition must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked to the outside world!"

All the ministers stood up and saluted one after another: "Your servants must abide by the holy decree!"

Tuoba Tao got up and walked out of the hall, Zong Ai yelled in a high-pitched voice with a flick of his whisk: "Back to court—"

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"

All the officials left the hall one after another, and Cui Hao was about to leave when a young eunuch walked quickly and stood under a pillar and winked at him.

Cui Hao's heart moved, he deliberately slowed down, and when the other ministers walked away, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he said in a low voice: "Cui Gong, just now our family heard something from His Majesty's side, and His Majesty likes Wan Yutong, the daughter of General Wan Dugui."

, but Miss Nawan didn't want to enter the palace to serve His Majesty, so she went to Xiaosheng Temple in Shanwu County to shave and become a monk.Recently, more than a dozen bhikkhunis came from the kingdom of Tianzhu Master, which is enough for the number of bhikkhunis who opened the altar to pass on the precepts. Miss Wan was ordained to become a monk in the Xiaosheng Temple. His Majesty was very angry about this. The nuns were arrested, but were dissuaded by Zongzhong Cao."

"Oh?" Cui Hao's heart was moved when he heard the news, and his mind turned countless times in an instant. He said to the little eunuch: "Okay, I know about this, you go first!"

After Cui Hao left the palace, he did not go home, but let the carriage speed up to chase, and soon caught up with the carriage of Kou Qianzhi, the national teacher who was planning to go back to the Taoist Temple of Xuandu.

"National Teacher, National Teacher!" Cui Hao shouted as he raised the curtains of the car.

Kou Qian heard that it was Cui Hao, this is his good friend, he was able to gain a foothold in the capital and became a national teacher, Cui Hao played a big role, he immediately called the groom: "Stop!"

The two carriages stopped, Cui Hao got out of his own carriage, and then got into Kou Qianzhi's carriage.

Kou Qianzhi asked: "Boyuan, what's the matter with you? Is there something urgent?"

Cui Hao smiled and said: "Master Kou, our chance to attack the Buddhist forces has come!"
