When Ling Xin entered the capital again, it was already a month later. When he heard about the former Honglu Temple Minister's impeachment of him, he just smiled contemptuously and ignored it.

At the small court meeting, Gao Ming was unusually reserved. He was born into a noble family in the Jin Dynasty.

Although he had "betrayed" the nobility of his aristocratic family, entered the officialdom through imperial examinations, and led the Gao family to actively flatter His Majesty, this was the first time he had attended such a small court meeting in which only the emperor's confidants could participate.

When Gao Ming actually saw the legendary Master Yuxiao, he was a little stunned.

She did not look like someone who was famous and powerful. Her facial features were delicate and beautiful. She was wearing a cloud-woven shawl and a gorgeous long skirt that softly showed off her advantages, like a beautiful flower immersed in wealth.

It is hard to imagine that all these horrific and crazy incidents were caused by such a woman.

All for the Goddess of Mount Tai...

As soon as Ling Xin opened her mouth for the first time, Gao Ming's filter was broken.

"Your Majesty, do you want Goryeo?"

It was earth-shattering news, and most of the ministers present were shocked.

Li Yue remained calm and continued, "Why, you conquered Goryeo in just one month? Of course I want the land you got for free."

What he meant was that I want the ready-made benefits, but you want me to provide money and manpower to attack Goryeo, which is absolutely impossible.

Gao Ming was stunned after hearing this.

Ling Xin said bluntly, "I have no official position, how can I possibly capture cities and plunder lands? Wouldn't that be stealing people's jobs? Your Majesty, you are overthinking it."

"Oh……"

Some ministers could not stand her outrageous words and unruly behavior, so they scolded her:

"How dare you! His Majesty has tolerated you for the sake of the Goddess of Mount Tai. Master, please do not be ungrateful. How can a mere monk like you decide important matters in the court?"

Suddenly, the emperor's heart skipped a beat.

As expected, Ling Xin cast her gaze at the person who was speaking like a sharp sword, and said sharply:

"It's not like I haven't decided important court affairs before. Why, you didn't say anything when there were benefits before, but now you're complaining and get out of here!"

The ministers nodded in agreement. Although Master Yuxiao acted arrogantly and unconventionally, he always had reasons for his actions.

And the imperial court will benefit greatly afterwards.

The minister who spoke confidently said, "How can this be the same? Your Majesty has already rewarded you for your merits, but now you are talking nonsense and forcing the monarch, which is disrespectful to the monarch and his father."

"Haha, I never took my father seriously in the first place."

Everyone was in an uproar. The words were insulting to His Majesty. It was a real achievement. Why don't you criticize him now?

The next second, "I am a monk, not in the mortal world," she said firmly, "So I only recognize Her Highness the Goddess, what's wrong with that?"

When the Goddess of Mount Tai was mentioned, the place fell silent for a moment.

This god was standing behind her in the distance. Everyone wanted the goddess's protection even after death, so no one dared to say anything.

Otherwise, there is a big madman and a small madman, both of whom are unscrupulous and what should we do if we make things difficult for them?

At this time, Li Yue spoke in time, "It is great that my aunt has a believer like the great master. I am also happy."

The topic returned to normal.

The emperor allowed Ling Xin to sit down, and she took the seat gracefully, with a relaxed and generous demeanor. The woman's dress, which was out of place with the others, was dazzling.

"How could the Goryeo Kingdom be so disrespectful to the goddess that you have to deal with them yourself?"

Li Yue asked pointedly.

Ling Xin has been going crazy for ten years since the goddess left. The only thing in the world that can move her is the things related to the goddess.

In her eyes, the Kingdom of Goryeo was either very active in worshipping the goddess, or had done something that had greatly offended the goddess.

Ling Xin lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her expression. "Didn't the top scholar make it very clear? The upper class of Goryeo is conceited and disgusting."

With a sneer, she said, "How dare you, a lowly thing, secretly claim that the goddess is a Buddhist goddess who is not as good as the Buddha or Bodhisattva."

At this time, people in Goryeo believed in Buddhism and believed that Buddha was supreme.

What is the status of the celestial maidens in Buddhism? Simply put, they are the ones who hold flower petals and scatter them everywhere when the Buddha is preaching, or play music.

To make an analogy, the status of Yan Pei, who is beside Li Yue, may be far inferior to that of Yan Pei. After all, he is a top figure in the palace.

There are a lot of celestial maidens for any Bodhisattva, such as the Miraculous Dharma Fairy and the Wonderful Sound Fairy, but they seem to be hard to sell at a high price.

The emperor was furious. Not to mention the goddess's dignity, she was still a princess of the Li family!

How dare you degrade the goddess to such a status.

"Extremely arrogant"

Naturally, other ministers could not fail to perform well. The goddess did so much for the Great Jin Dynasty. It can be said that she directly laid the foundation for the Great Jin Dynasty to last forever.

Wang Yi understands best that although there is no dynasty that remains unchanged for a thousand years, there are always some things that will remain the same after the dynasty collapses.

The Han dynasty is long gone, so why are the people in the Central Plains still Han? The Qin dynasty fell in the second generation, so which dynasty can boast that it has completely abandoned the Qin law?

This is the dynasty's heritage that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. With the help of the goddess, the Great Jin is about to achieve such a momentum.

In the eyes of the people of Dajin, although the goddess did not have great powers - after all, she had just become an immortal - she was truly their own immortal and would not tolerate being insulted by outsiders!

The crowd was excited, and some officials angrily denounced "You are a small country with lowly thoughts"

The military generals expressed their disdain for Goryeo in relatively direct language and asked the emperor to send troops south.

Gao Ming mixed in and expressed his feelings.

The emperor calmed down and asked Ling Xin in a deep voice, "You didn't make it up."

"That's absolutely true," Ling Xin said with a cold smile:

"Goryeo was a small country with little power, so they had a strong sense of self-esteem. When the Jin dynasty had a goddess descend to earth to help them, they were already very unwilling to accept this and their minds were twisted, so they did everything they could to belittle the goddess and elevate the Buddha and Bodhisattva they believed in."

"Okay, in that case, my dispatch of troops this time is justified."

The emperor's casual words determined the fate of Goryeo.

After the small court meeting, Ling Xin was in a good mood. The purpose of her trip to Beijing was achieved. Although her actions caused Gao Li to suffer a lot, she still felt unsatisfied.

Only when the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty killed them with one blow was the shameless crime of the Goryeo Kingdom atoned for.

A war cannot be started just like that. Logistics, storage of food and weapons, recruiting troops, calculation of expenses, etc. all require effort.

The news of the attack on Goryeo spread like wildfire, and the people were filled with indignation, as they were the ones who had received the most favor from the goddess.

Now, if every family plants the immortal seeds, they may not become rich, but at least they can have enough food to eat. The official schools run by the imperial court with money are also cheap, and it doesn’t cost much to send children to school and learn to read. Maybe the family’s fortune will change.

No one in three generations has ever enjoyed such a good life.

So, damn it, they actually dared to slander the goddess. The people spontaneously voted with their feet, donated money and materials to support sending troops, and clamored to parade the damn Goryeo king through the streets and give him plenty of rotten eggs.

The Buddhist community was in bad luck. A large wave of hatred was drawn to them for no reason. The number of Buddhist incense customers dropped sharply, and they were very angry.

Soon a senior Buddhist monk refuted the rumor, saying that the Buddhism in Goryeo had nothing to do with us, it was a cult, and we did not recognize them.
