Chapter 204

Zhao Kuangyin felt distressed looking at it, how sensible and well-behaved Tian Ya was before?How did Zong Xin teach him to be a little hooligan?After going on like this, after Tian Ya becomes a teacher, I'm afraid the world will definitely be in chaos because of him.It is estimated that Tianya caused far more harm than Zongxin, because Zongxin relied on his own strength, but after Tianya became a teacher, everyone knew that he was a disciple of Master Zongxin.

What Zhao Kuangyin is most worried about is that Guo Wei will be able to become the emperor in the future. If this kid is allowed to inherit Guo Wei's throne... Let a little hooligan become the emperor, and the world will not be in chaos.

The saddest thing is Li Yu, he doesn't know what happened to him to meet Zong Xin.Although Zong Xin kept saying that he was helping himself, Li Yu felt that he was getting more and more dangerous. As long as he followed Zong Xin, nothing good would happen.

They were chatting just now, and Li Yu was listening next to them.The feeling in my heart... I really wanted to rush up and beat him hard, but my martial arts skills were not as good as Zong Xin's, so I could only suppress my anger.

Soon, a group of people arrived in front of the palace.The guard immediately notified, and the internal officer brought a group of people to Li Jing's imperial study.

"My son pays my respects to my father." Li Yu knelt on one knee in front of the imperial study room, raising his inner strength to pay his respects.

"Well! Come in."

The internal officer opened the door, and Li Yu brought Zong Xin and his party to the imperial study.Li Jing just looked up, and then continued to read the memorial on the Longshu case.

Li Jing's news was far faster than Li Hongji's. He knew that Li Yu had returned to Jinling and brought Master Zong Xin with him.Li Jing also had a lot of ideas, but he didn't move for the time being, let Zong Xin take action first to see what he was going to do.

Li Jing's age is not too old, less than 50 years old, and he is in his prime.Although wearing a white dragon robe, he has a martial spirit.Having fought on the battlefield for many years, Li Jing is far more evil than ordinary emperors.

"Sit." Li Jing was not in a hurry at all, he didn't even ask Zong Xin why he came, and gave him a seat first.

After sitting down separately, Li Jing still ignored these people and continued to read the memorial.But in fact, I was beating drums in my heart, I didn't know what Zong Xin was going to do, what to say, how could I be in the mood to read the memorial?
"Amitabha, that's good, that's good." Zongxin said, "Stop pretending, I know you haven't seen the memorial. Let's talk about business."

After Li Jing put the memorial, he took a deep breath and said, "Monk, you... are too ignorant. Tell me, what are you doing here?"

"The poor monk wants to persuade the king of Tang to attack the state of Chu, and he must send troops immediately. If it is too late, it will be too late." Zong Xin went straight to the point, without giving Li Jing any transitional time. The whole imperial study room was silent when he said this.

After a while of silence, I suddenly heard footsteps outside.

"My son pays respects to my father." X2
Li Hongji and Li Hongmao also came to the imperial study, Zong Xin nodded slightly, and the two boys really came.They are well-informed, and they must know that Li Yu took Zong Xin to the palace. No matter what the reason, these two boys must come, and they must know what this group of people talked about.

Li Jing said: "Come in, today is really lively."

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao immediately entered the imperial study room, saluted Li Jing and sat beside them.

Li Jing said: "It just so happens that you are here. I happened to be discussing important national affairs with Master Zong Xin. You can listen in. Just now Master Zong Xin said that I should attack Chu State immediately and send troops immediately. What do you think of this matter?"

"This...the national treasury is empty, and the soldiers are tired. Attacking Chu State at this time will undoubtedly fail." Li Hongji said: "Father, you also said that you should rest for a few years, let the soldiers recharge their batteries and expand the territory."

Li Hongmao nodded and said: "Brother Huang is right, attacking Chu is not the best strategy at this time."

Hearing that someone supported her point of view, Li Jing smiled lightly and said, "Master Zongxin, I know you are an eminent monk, how can a monk meddle in worldly affairs? Let alone persuade people to fight, you should persuade them to make peace." .”

"The world is in chaos, how can there be peace?" Zong Xin said: "This matter is not for the poor monks, nor for the Tang Dynasty, but for the common people of the world. After the spring plowing, the Khitan will definitely move south in a large scale, and the poor monks have already made plans to encircle and suppress the Khitan army. But this If the Tang Dynasty had troops at that time, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty would not be able to use all its strength to leave a way for Yelu Deguang to survive. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty must send troops at this time, and it can only attack Chu State, because Chu State is in the south and the Han Dynasty is in the north. Only when the Great Tang sends troops to the south will the great Han be able to deal with the Khitan with all their strength."

"Hahahaha." Li Jing said with a smile: "For the sake of the land of the Han Dynasty, our Tang Dynasty will send all our troops to attack Chu? Isn't this a joke? What if the Khitans don't come?"

"The Khitan will come, it is absolutely true. The land of the Tang Dynasty is the largest in the first place. If we can capture the Chu Kingdom, it will be even more powerful. This matter will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty." Zong recognized: "Your Majesty You must really want to seize the country of Chu, don’t you? Why don’t you take this opportunity to make a big attack, and you will definitely win.”

"How can I say that I will definitely win?"

Zong Dao: "The reason is very simple, because Ma Cun, the king of Yue, died, and Ma Xi, the king of Chu, also died in Huangquan not long ago. The news may not have reached the Chu country. After the news reaches the Chu country, the princes will surely In order to fight for the position of king of Chu, there is a big fight. The snake has no head, and the state of Chu has lost the king of Yue, and the king of Chu, isn't this an opportunity?"

At this point, Li Jing was really tempted.Just now I thought Zong Xin was messing around, but I didn't expect that Yue King Ma Cun and Chu King Ma Xi were both dead.How can this be?

Zong Xin continued: "Your Majesty should have heard about the poor monk going to Thailand to capture the Red Emperor. It's a pity that the Red Emperor's essence was scattered, and the poor monk got nothing. But when he captured the Red Emperor, the poor monk saw Yue Wang's horse with his own eyes. Cun was killed by Lei Hong, Emperor Ye, and Ma Xi, king of Chu, also died in an accident. Many people saw the death of Ma Cun, king of Yue, but only the poor monk knew about the death of Ma Xi, the king of Chu. If Tang attacks Chu, as long as the country of Chu is conquered, the Great Tang will be even more powerful. Even if the great Han defeats the Khitan, their strength will be greatly injured, how dare they send troops to the Great Tang?"

Li Jing took a deep breath, feeling that this matter has been done.These years, he has been trying to annex the surrounding territories, and he finally captured the country of Fujian not long ago, which relieved the pressure on Li Jing's empty treasury.Originally I wanted to rest for a few years, but to recharge my batteries, I never thought that there was another opportunity in front of me.

Zong Dao: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has not missed a single thing since his debut. This time the Tang Dynasty attacked Chu and must return with a big victory. The territory of Chu State is owned by the Tang Dynasty, and there will be no Chu in the future. As long as you conquer The state treasury of Chu and the Tang Dynasty will also be full again, so what is there to worry about? Your Majesty is in his prime, and after a few more years of fighting, he should enjoy peace and happiness."

Li Jing said: "Are you sure Yue King Ma Cun and Chu King Ma Xi are both dead?"

"The poor monk dares to guarantee with his head. These two people died on Mount Tai. It is a great opportunity for Chu to be leaderless. If you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult if you want to attack Chu again in the future."

Li Jing was frightened by Zong Xin's words, and originally planned to attack Chu State after a few years of recuperation.Unexpectedly, the opportunity is right in front of you, if you take advantage of this opportunity to attack in one fell swoop, it would be a good thing.If the delay continues, the state of Chu has elected a new king of Chu, and if it develops vigorously, it will not be easy to conquer Chu.

Li Jing really didn't expect that this opportunity came so suddenly that she didn't know what to do.So he looked back at the third son Wu Wang Li Yu.

"Cong Jia, you also went to Mount Tai. Are Yue King Ma Cun and Chu King Ma Xi really dead?"

Li Yu said: "This matter is absolutely true, and my son was there at the time."

Li Yu is the one who knows this matter best, because Yue Wang Ma Cun died beside Li Yu, and Chu King Ma Xi died in his hands.However, both of them bent their minds, and Ma Xi wanted to sneak attack him, but was attacked by Li Yu.Although both are sluts, Li Yu has been hiding the secret that he is not blind, which Ma Xi didn't know until he was dying.

Li Jing was really moved. Although Zong Xin was an eminent monk, he was still a little wary of the monk he met for the first time.But if his son Li Congjia said the same thing, then it is true.If Yue King Ma Cun and Chu King Ma Xi both died on Mount Tai, this would definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we must take advantage of this opportunity to capture Chu.

Zong Dao: "The poor monk just came to report this matter, not asking for a reward. But for another matter, the poor monk asked for a little reward."

"Is there anything else?" Li Jing was also curious, what good news does Master Zong Xin have to tell him?
Zong Dao: "The poor monk and the third prince Li Yu hit it off right away. The third prince is also a person who is obsessed with Buddhism, so he wants to accept him as a disciple. But he is the third prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. If he accepts a named disciple, he doesn't need to be a monk."

"Oh~?" Li Jing was very surprised, why did he suddenly mention this matter?Judging by Li Congjia's expression, he was a little unhappy, and it seemed that he was not very willing, but there was nothing he could do.

Li Jing knew about the struggle between the three brothers, and immediately understood Master Zong Xin's intentions.The reason why Li Congjia was accepted as a disciple was to save his life.

Both Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were about to laugh out loud. The monk actually wanted to accept the third brother as a disciple, and Zong Xin, a Taoist monk, should have discussed this request with Li Yu long ago.If Li Yu becomes a monk's disciple, it seems that there is not much threat.However, he only accepted registered disciples, and did not really become a monk, so people can't be completely at ease.

Zong Dao: "By the way, there is one more thing. The poor monk must ask for a reward. The third prince suffered from eye disease since childhood, and he was blind. The poor monk can cure it."

When Zong Xin said these words, everyone present was scared out of their wits and turned pale.Li Yu and Li Jing almost rushed up to beat Zong Xin, which was different from what they discussed just now.Both Li Yu and Li Jing knew that he was not blind, but had double pupils, and he kept pretending to be blind because he was worried that this matter would be leaked.Zong Xin even said that he could cure it, which simply forced Li Yu to his death.

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were also terrified, Zong Xin really had this kind of ability, he really could heal the third brother's eyes.Moreover, accepting the third brother as a registered disciple has already stated his position that he wants to assist the third brother to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

The two brothers who hadn't planned to do it before had already decided to do it tonight.When they left the palace, they sent people to hunt them down. If they didn't kill these two people, they wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully afterwards.
