I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The feeling of Xue Yuan talking in his ear was like a hungry wolf or a mad dog.

Dangerous and fishy smell rushed into his head, Gu Yuanbai looked down and saw several wounds on Xue Yuan's hands.

Ordinary people would have died long ago after being dragged so long. Xue Yuan has great strength and good health, and now he can hold the rein with terrifying strength. Except for the smell of blood and wounds, he is no different from other people.

Gu Yuanbai was expressionless.

He really had the urge to kill Xue Yuan just now, he wanted to kill this man who kept offending him and who would replace his regime in the future.While dragging Xue Yuan, Gu Yuanbai felt a little bit refreshed.

It would be great if Xue Yuan died, so that he could kill the future regent.

But when you return to your senses, you will know whether this will kill, and ordinary methods will not kill you.

Xue Yuan's whole body was tense, he held the little emperor in his arms, his anger was heavy, the fishy smell and pain irritated him, the madness hidden in the depths emerged, his expression was horrifying, he was still tense and did nothing to hurt the little one Emperor's business.

With a gloomy sneer: "Is what I said right?"

"Lao Tzu?" Gu Yuanbai looked calm and composed. He glanced sideways at Xue Yuan and smiled slightly, "It turned out that the horse was injured by guard Xue."

He slapped him unhurriedly: "I ruined one of my good horses, and ruined a few of my good blankets. Although it doesn't help, I still want to punish Guard Xue with three months' salary, just to make an example."

Xue Yuan sneered, raised his hand and raised his whip, and the whole horse flew out like an arrow off the string.

"Holy!"

The guards behind him exclaimed and shouted angrily, "Xue Yuan stop!"

The scenery retreated rapidly, the horses were bumped and dizzy, Gu Yuanbai reached out to grab the reins, but Xue Yuan held the reins firmly in his hand, and Gu Yuanbai couldn't take it away.

damn it.

Gu Yuanbai's internal organs felt uncomfortable, he shouted angrily: "Xue Yuan!"

Xue Yuan said loudly: "Your Majesty, I saw you running so fast just now, and thought that Your Majesty was going to gallop, didn't you?"

Gu Yuanbai: "—stop it for me!"

Xue Yuan pulled the rein hard, the horse raised its front hooves, and its whole body fell back. Gu Yuanbai fell into Xue Yuan's arms with his back. It hurts.

What hurt more than the back was the root of the leg, Gu Yuanbai paused for a while, and suddenly sneered.

very good.

It really is not so easy for a mad dog to know pain.

Anger and another kind of conquest arise strongly.Gu Yuanbai has an adventurous spirit, but his body cannot provide him with the conditions to take risks.

But the process of taming Xue Yuan seems to be another kind of adventure in itself.

Killing is not exciting enough to count as a risky success.Making him obedient and obediently crawling at the emperor's feet is considered a success.

Seeing his angry face, Xue Yuan smiled instead. He wrapped the little emperor with one hand and adjusted his position so that he could comfortably stay in his arms, and he was the emperor's back.The horses slowed down, as if they were taking a walk.

"Your Majesty," Xue Yuan said, "Today you have to accompany Concubine Wan to visit temples, so it's really inappropriate to ride a horse. Your body is weak, and it won't be good if your skin is worn out."

Gu Yuanbai: "Oh."

"Of course, I have to think about the Holy One." Xue Yuan pulled up his sleeves and showed Gu Yuanbai the scratches under his sleeves after being dragged for tens of meters. You can feel how painful it is, "Look, I have such wounds all over my body, the blood on my back is still sticking to my clothes, and it hurts so much when I bandage it. The emperor treats me like that, and I only take the emperor to ride the horse. It's only a few breaths of effort, isn't this enough for the sage to consider?"

The Holy One pursed his lips and said slowly: "Once I punish you, you remember to take revenge. You are really my good bodyguard."

"Your Majesty is joking again," Xue Yuan said slowly, "Just as if I thought that your Majesty was going to kill me just now, now whether you want to retaliate or not, His Majesty is thinking about it. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but he is the son of Daheng." My lord, how dare my minister?"

There are many white butterflies and bugs flying in the grass next to it. The first and most common one to appear in spring is the white butterfly. When Gu Yuanbai caught a glimpse of this white butterfly, he thought to himself, you pinched the butterfly to death because no one was watching. Now, you naturally want to say what to say.

You came back to take revenge on me, because no one saw it, and the loyalty and shame you are talking about now makes people laugh.

Gu Yuanbai had no regrets about wanting to kill Xue Yuan, he was angry because of Xue Yuan's temper.He dared to be so bold in front of the emperor, and when he was in a hurry, he knew how to jump over the wall. He dared to do it in a fair manner. What else would he not dare to do?

The guards from behind chased him up, and he was relieved to see that Gu Yuanbai was fine. The chief guard glared at Xue Yuan angrily, and said abruptly: "Guard Xue can't ride a horse, so don't be brave."

Xue Yuan was in a bad mood, the corners of his lips twitched, and he said with a half smile, "None of your business?"

The chief guard blushed with anger, "You—"

"Enough," Gu Yuanbai said, "Shut up for me."

No one dared to speak anymore, Gu Yuanbai straightened his back expressionlessly, the atmosphere was oppressive and weird, and he walked all the way outside Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing.

Concubine Wan has been looking forward to today for a long time, the weather is good today, and the old man is also very energetic.

Gu Yuanbai supported Concubine Wan and walked slowly towards the temple.

The royal temple is called Chengbao Temple, which covers a very large area, and even has a pagoda tens of meters high.The roads to and fro are winding and secluded, and the temples are hidden among the vegetation, giving it a sense of Zen.

"Your Majesty," Concubine Wan couldn't move after walking for a while, she was supported and sat in a pavilion beside her, and looked at Gu Yuanbai with a smile, "I can't move anymore, Your Majesty, go up first, by the way." Also burn an extra stick of incense for me."

Gu Yuanbai smiled and said, "Then I'll go up first?"

Concubine Wan nodded in relief. After watching the back of the Holy Majesty disappear into the jungle, she smiled and wiped the sweat from her head.

Chengbao Temple was built on the mountainside, and the abbot and many monks on the mountain had already learned the news of the arrival of the Holy One and Concubine Wan in advance.When Gu Yuanbai finally arrived at the temple, what he saw was a temple full of bald monks.

These monks wore uniform monk uniforms, and the abbot took the lead to salute Gu Yuanbai. Gu Yuanbai gently asked them to get up, and scanned the monks in the temple.

It is estimated that there are upwards of 2000 people.

Gu Yuanbai squinted his eyes, said nothing, and was led by the abbot to wander around the temple.

The abbot sighed: "When the late emperor was still here, he also brought the saint to pay homage to the Buddha. It's just that the saint was still young at that time, so he should not remember it."

Gu Yuanbai smiled, and said with a good temper: "The abbot lives among the beautiful mountains and rivers all year round, and the wild mountains and forests are far away from the noise of the world. From the abbot's point of view, the time is probably just around the corner."

The abbot smiled and said: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true. Seeing the Holy Majesty now, the Holy Majesty is protected by a real dragon. Even if the old monk seldom goes out of the temple, he knows that the world must be more prosperous under the governance of the Holy Majesty."

During the conversation, the group of people had already reached the gazebo standing high on the side of the mountain. The wild wind in the mountain made the holy clothes bulge, and the abbot was still talking about some wonderful things, all of which were full of interest and contained Buddhist principles.

It's just that he kept talking, and the Holy One just listened with a smile.After talking for a while, the abbot's mouth became parched, and he couldn't help but follow His Majesty's gaze to look down the mountain, and asked, "What is Your Majesty looking at?"

"I'm looking at this Dabao Temple." The Holy One said.

The abbot couldn't help laughing, "If the Holy Majesty wants to see the scenery, there is a viewing platform in front of him. The scenery there is more beautiful and makes people forget to return."

"I'm not looking at the scenery."

As soon as these words came out, not only the abbot felt strange, but also the guards who followed him couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Xue Yuan, who fell at the end of the crowd, brushed off the last bit of dirt on his robe, and when he heard this, he looked up and saw the small half of the Holy Majesty's profile.

The blue hairs flowed with the wind, and occasionally a few of them floated to the side of his face. Xue Yuan looked at it for a while, then retracted his eyes.After a while, it moved over again. I don't want to accept it now, so I just look at it openly.

He was still smiling when he spoke, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, looking like a good skin that made people put down their guard.The lip color is also pale, from the looks, it should be that she has never eaten a woman's rouge, right?

He is so ruthless, but his skin is so fragile.

Needless to say, Xue Yuan had an intuition that the little emperor was about to do something that would scare the crap out of people.

Gu Yuanbai took the initiative to ask: "The abbot wants to know what I'm looking at?"

The abbot said respectfully: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Different from the abbot, I am an ordinary person," Gu Yuanbai said, "What I see in my eyes is not the scenery, but the densely packed fields at the foot of the mountain."

The abbot suddenly realized: "Now is the season of spring sowing, and our temple will also be busy."

"The reclaimed land at the foot of the mountain is within the scope of Chengbao Temple," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "From a high point, there must be thousands of acres of land."

The abbot smiled without saying a word, with a hint of pride in his expression.

Gu Yuanbai didn't say much, after paying homage to the Buddha in Chengbao Temple, he had another vegetarian meal, and then he took people down the mountain leisurely.

The abbot respectfully sent His Majesty away, and when His Majesty's group disappeared, he turned around and was about to dismiss the monks when something flashed through his mind, he froze in place, and then his face changed drastically!

The Holy Majesty saw the expressions of many monks, and the words that the Holy Majesty said on the side of the mountain flashed in his mind one after another.

'What I see is not the scenery, but the dense fields at the foot of the mountain. '

"Moyode has thousands of acres of land. '

Dou Da's sweat slipped from the corner of the abbot's forehead, the abbot was short of breath, and exclaimed: "Not good!"

There is no land tax on the fields in the temple, and the monks in the temple are also exempted from corvee. The meaning of what the Holy One said was clearly alluding to redundant monks!

The cold sweat broke out layer upon layer on the abbot's head, and he suddenly thought of the deeds of Sanwu's extermination of Buddha!

There are so many idle monks in the temple, so many fields that do not pay taxes, the late emperor turned a blind eye to it, because the late emperor worshiped Buddha.But the current Holy Majesty is not the first emperor. It is so sad that the Holy Majesty has said it so clearly, but he only reacted now!

No, Chengbao Temple cannot be the chicken that scares the chicken to scare the monkey!

"Quick," the abbot said in a trembling voice, holding the man back, "Quickly find out the number of those fields at the foot of the mountain, and then donate them to the government! Go!"

Be sure to hurry up, hurry up and let the Holy One see their sincerity.

None of them could hold back a fist from the Holy Majesty.

Redundant monks... exterminate Buddha...

The abbot shuddered. If it was what he thought, then this must be another tragedy for the monks.The Holy Majesty now hinted that maybe it was all because of the face of the royal temple of Chengbao Temple.

There are more than 2000 monks in the royal temples, and there are hundreds of temples, large and small, in Daheng. If you add them together, how many monks will there be?

Gu Yuanbai, who was going down the mountain, was also thinking about this question.

But before he could think about it for a long time, he heard the sound of a waterfall not far away.

"Let's go and have a look." Gu Yuanbai put his work aside and said with a smile, "It's rare to come to the mountains once. How can I not see the mountains and rivers?"

A group of people walked towards the water, and as soon as they approached the water source, Gu Yuanbai heard some faint sounds. Curious, he took a few steps forward, and suddenly saw a bright light ahead.

The water was gurgling, and on the other side of the water, there was a lingering and lingering sound.The faces of the guards turned red first, and then turned livid. The Holy Majesty is here, how can the Holy Majesty hear such filthy words?

The head of the guard took a step forward with a dark face and said: "My lord, this is where the royal temple is located, and there are people doing such meager things here! I will go and arrest them!"

The people on the other side of the river also seemed to have heard the noise here. A shirtless man raised his head and looked this way carelessly.

There was still a red apron wrapped around his wrist, Gu Yuanbai didn't see it, he took a step back and turned sideways.

The jade pendant around his waist was caught by the branches and leaves at the side, Gu Yuanbai didn't notice, this step back, tore off the jade pendant.

Xue Yuan, who was standing aside, bent down to catch it in time, and the soft and soft jade pendant fell into his hand, which was more comfortable to touch than fine silk.

Xue Yuan tossed the jade pendant, kneaded and played with it a few times, thinking that the jade pendant was not as slippery as the little emperor's feet, and said: "My lord, your jade pendant fell off."

Gu Yuanbai looked sideways and stretched out his hand towards Xue Yuan.

The meaning was very clear, but Xue Yuan grasped the little emperor's outstretched hand as if he didn't understand, kneaded it twice like playing jade, and said: "The Holy Master's hands are cold, and you want me to cover his hands for the Holy Master? "

The left hand holds the little emperor's jade pendant, and the right hand holds the little emperor's ice hand.Xue Yuan thought, this jade pendant is not as easy to touch as the little emperor's hand.

It's icy cold, which is strange.

Just because of Xue Yuan kneading these two times, the skin on Gu Yuanbai's hands turned half red again, and he withdrew his hand speechlessly, "What I want is the jade pendant."

What kind of retarded Xue Jiuyao is?
