From eunuch to emperor

A team of about 100 people cleared the way for the first two monks. They were dressed in cassocks and had nine ring scars on their heads. They looked like eminent monks.

Behind a horse sits a man.

This man is tall and tall, with a square face and a broad forehead, a pair of Buddha ears drooping, and a pair of round eyes with piercing eyes, full of killing spirit.

This is Mojie, the disciple of Monk Kongji.

There are monks from Zhaoti Temple and Xixia officers and soldiers behind them. The chariots and horses are heading east slowly. Pedestrians on both sides of the road saw them and bowed their heads one after another.

When the officials of Honglu Temple saw Mojie's team, they were very upset: "These unreasonable people are really serious. The Holy One has banned the Buddha, and they still worship after seeing it. It's really unreasonable!"

"That is, if we hadn't welcomed the special envoy today, we would have taken all of them and sent them to prison."

Li Hao, Minister of Honglu Temple, shook his head slightly, and said: "Although the imperial court banned it, it was widely spread among the people. The capital is not bad, and there are more people who believe in it in the west and north."

Behind this is the Xixia Zhaoti Temple secretly promoting it, which can be regarded as a kind of penetration into the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Those good men and women who believe in Buddhism are easily instigated by monks.

Li Hao led the officials of Honghe Temple to meet him, and said: "Li Hao, Minister of Honghe Temple, welcome the special envoy of Western Xia, Master Mojie."

When Mo Jie rode out, he put his palms together on the horse and said, "Lord Li is busy, please lead the way."

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty all had angry expressions on their faces, and Li Hao was also very angry, but he was not easy to get angry.

Li Hao went out of the city to greet him, but Mojie was arrogant and refused to get off his horse to return the salute, this is an insult.

Li Hao thought to himself: I don't care about you for the time being, wait for General Long to teach you a lesson!

"Let's go!"

Li Hao turned around, and stopped saluting to Mojie, got on his horse and walked ahead, and the other officials did not shake Mojie either.

Behind him, an old monk with a beard said, "Nephew Mojie, you shouldn't be so arrogant."

This person is Master Puxuan, an eminent monk of Zhaoti Temple, and the senior brother of Monk Kongji.

Another long-browed old monk also said: "We should also be polite when we go to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, so as not to say that we are barbaric in Xixia."

This old monk is Master Hong Zhi and the brother of Monk Kong Ji.

Mojie laughed and said: "You two masters don't need to worry about it. The comparison between countries is about the comparison of national power. If I am strong in Western Xia, even if I am rude, it will not be so bad in Eastern Zhou Dynasty; if my national power in Western Xia is weak, even if I am polite. , but also in vain."

Neither Pu Xuan nor Hong Zhi spoke.

Mojie is very smart, and he explained the key points in one sentence. The comparison of national power is the key, and diplomatic etiquette is not important.

But Mojie is too young after all, and he should be courteous when dealing with others, and don't make it too ugly.

When the procession entered the city, there were many people watching on both sides of the road. Puxuan and Hong Zhi looked like eminent monks. They closed their eyes and chanted sutras immediately, their chests trembling, and the people on both sides bowed their heads in worship.

Ya'er squeezed into the crowd, holding snacks in his hand, and complained while eating: "It's so ugly, the monk with crooked mouth is reciting crooked scriptures."

The procession walked through the street and entered the Daming Palace. The empress was sitting on a phoenix chair, and all the civil and military officials also arrived.

Long Chen stood at the head of the generals, Di Luoxi stood behind, Di Yuwei and Di Xingwan stood in a row of civil servants.

Mojie, Puxuan, and Hong Zhi followed Li Hao into the palace, while the others stayed outside.

"Invite Your Majesty, the Western Xia special envoy Master Mojie has arrived."

After finishing speaking, Li Hao stepped aside, glanced at Mo Jie, and then at Long Chen.

Mojie stepped forward proudly and said: "The special envoy of Xixia pays homage to the Empress of Eastern Zhou Dynasty."

The empress looked at Mojie carefully, and secretly admired in her heart: This old thing, Kong Ji, has picked up a good seedling.

"Excuse me, the special envoy has worked hard on the road."

Mojie said loudly: "As entrusted by my teacher and the king, I dare not say that I have worked hard. Now I present the letter of credence."

Mojie deliberately drew the true energy in his body, and spoke with a tremolo in his chest, the air trembled slightly, and the official felt that his eardrums were about to burst.

Yingfeng came down, took the letter of credence, and forwarded it to the empress.

The empress looked at it, and it was nothing more than some polite words, saying that she would like to live in peace with Eastern Zhou.

"Okay, does your master, Master Kongji, have anything to say?"

Just now Mojie placed Monk Kongji in front of Shi Le, but he didn't know whether it was Monk Kongji's instruction or Mojie's own arrogance.

"My teacher asked me to say hello to the empress. His old man's cultivation has improved, and he hopes to have the opportunity to compete with the empress."

Di Luoxi was furious when she heard this, and scolded: "Arrogant! My mother is the only emperor, old monk Kongji wants to court death!"

Seeing that Emperor Luoxi was disrespectful to Kongji, Mojie immediately opened his eyes wide and turned into an angry King Kong.

"How dare you insult my teacher!"

Mojie yelled violently, the surrounding air shook, Li Yizheng almost lost his footing, and Bailibing behind him immediately supported him.

"People must insult themselves, and then others will insult them!"

Long Chen stood up, let out a low voice, and suppressed the tremolo on Mojie's chest.

"The son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault; the disciple's rudeness, the teacher's laziness! You have been disrespectful since you entered the door, and your master, Monk Kongji, taught you such things!"

Long Chen looked at Mo Jie coldly.

Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi looked at Long Chen, this was the first time they saw Long Chen, and secretly admired in their hearts: Sure enough, there are dragons and phoenixes among the people, such a great husband, how could he be a eunuch?

When Mo Jie saw Long Chen, he was also very surprised, he felt his aura was suppressed.

"What about my master, you don't need to comment!"

Long Chen hehe sneered and said: "The so-called famous teacher produces a high-ranking apprentice, you are such a rude and bald donkey, what kind of thing is your master!"

Mojie was furious, his figure flashed, and he punched Long Chen.

The accident happened so suddenly that even the Empress didn't expect that Mojie would actually do it on such a diplomatic occasion.

But Long Chen had been prepared for a long time, he took a step forward and punched him.

boom!

Fisting together, Mojie was shaken and slipped several meters, Long Chen also took a few steps back.

This punch was barely a tie.

"Nephew Mojie!"

Pu Xuan scolded.

Master Hong Zhi came out and said: "Your Majesty forgive me for being rude."

The empress looked gloomy, and said, "Hong Zhi, if it wasn't for Xi Xia's sake, I'm afraid I'd be bullying the small with the big today."

After speaking, the empress got up and left.

Puxuan and Hong Zhi were taken aback by the empress' words, cold sweat broke out on their bare heads.

"Send the envoy back to the building."

Yingfeng said something coldly.

Li Hao, Minister of Honglu Temple, came over and said with a sneer, "Please, three eminent monks."

Puxuan and Hong Zhi took Mojie out of the Daming Palace, and followed Li Hao to the building to settle down.

After entering the room, Puxuan scolded: "The empress is Di Zun, do you know what Di Zun means?"

Hong Zhi also shook his head and said, "The Emperor kills you like a bag, just like you kill a three-year-old child."

Mojie was shocked and asked, "Is Emperor Zun so powerful?"

Hong Zhi shook his head and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, my nephew should not be like this again."

Puxuan said: "Fortunately, the empress has a good face, and she didn't bully the small with the big."

Mojie was secretly shocked in his heart, feeling that he was too crazy, and he should restrain himself when he should restrain himself.

Hong Zhi asked: "You just punched Long Chengen, how do you feel?"

Mojie smiled slightly, and said disdainfully, "Generally, why did Master say he is powerful?"

Puxuan nodded slightly, and said: "That's good. I'm still worried that you are not Long Chengen's opponent. Take a good rest. You have to beat him twice in the Dharma debate and martial arts competition."

Puxuan heard from Kong Ji that Long Chen used the medicinal power of Yangjingshi when he was in Jade Buddha Pass to beat Kong Ji into a mess.

Therefore, Long Chen's true level is not too high.

Mojie laughed and said: "This is easy, the master has something else to say before he leaves, and the two masters would like to rest."

Back in his room, Mojie closed the door, covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed violently twice, spitting out a mouthful of blood-tinged phlegm.

"This Long Cheng'en, what kind of evil skill did he practice?"
