Shen Bai sat in the tea room in front of Furong Valley, flipping through the books of the Chosen One.In the mountain stream next to it, birdsong is constantly singing, and the spring is full of spring, and early summer is coming soon.

"Jia Shi'an arrived in Bianjing, but he went back after two days and didn't come, what do you think?" Zihuan sat aside and poured tea for Shen Bai.

Shen Bai took the teacup: "It's okay, I want to avoid suspicion now, it's a good thing if Shi'an doesn't come, but it will cause people to criticize."

"You're thinking more and more openly, aren't you afraid that people will deliberately avoid you because they see you losing power?" Zihuan teased him.

Shen Bai took a sip of tea: "The Jia family doesn't have such a person, there must be some reason. By the way, get Xiao Qi's letter."

Zihuan gave Xiao Qi's secret letter to Shen Bai.

The two translated according to the policy of the Warring States Period.

"Brother Shen saw that the words were not, and as I expected, An Qi stood still, but he was actually plotting something wrong. Although I am the emperor, I found two major problems. One is that the power in the capital has been dispersed, and it is not as sincere as the emperor used to be. The other is that Shi Wei There may be allies among the ministries who are allies of Anqi, with the goal of cooperating to divide our country. I could have taken the opportunity to appease the Jurchen with my younger brother and turned to the north. I am afraid that the current situation will not be good for you and me. My younger brother retreated to the Buddhist temple, but he is still on the chopping block. Waiting to be slaughtered. Although I am the emperor, the country's air power is weak, so I can only stick to it. I am afraid that Yu Wentuo will think this is a good opportunity to destroy the Liao Dynasty. There is no possibility of peace between the two countries. How to break the situation, I am waiting for my brother to teach me, I hope it will be soon Reply. Qianqian, brother, Xiao Qi!"

"Xiao Qi is devoted to you, Prince Shen?" Zihuan jokingly said.

Shen Bai pouted and looked at him: "Now is not the time to joke, Lord Shen."

"Why, do you think it's still inappropriate, or are you afraid that the Khitan will perish?" Zihuan asked curiously.

"You don't understand this game of chess." Shen Bai said resentfully: "If the three of me, Xiao Qi, and Helian Tianjiao fall in the same direction, hehe, this world will also end."

Zihuan was puzzled after hearing this: "Speaking of which, I know you have a secret, but I never asked you, what is your relationship with them?"

Shen Bai looked around and thought for a while: "I'll tell you now, you should be mentally prepared."

Zihuan looked at Shen Bai in amazement: "You, don't you really descend from a god?"

A furnace of sandalwood burns out slowly, the tea is lingering, and the hot tea becomes moist.

Shen Bai's words were only halfway through, Zihuan was already in a daze after he finished talking about himself, every time Shen Bai looked at him, he waved his hand to signal Shen Bai to continue.

"In a dream, the sky and the earth have changed color." Shen Bai sighed after finishing talking about himself.

Zihuan looked at him and smiled slightly: "Perhaps I have to thank fate, otherwise how would I know such a Shen Bai?"

Shen Bai nodded: "But the fate of this generation of chosen ones is really amazing. They all go for the throne. We already know, Yu Wentuo, Helian Tianjiao, and the king of Dali. There are still unknowns." Xiao Qi and Yelu Anqi, tell me, how can I not be startled?"

"You said, would there be such a thing that Xiao Qi proclaims himself emperor now, but then Yelu Anqi kicked him down and was also favored by fate?" Zihuan asked curiously.

"This is exactly where I can't see through Khitan, and it's also what I worry about about myself and Emperor Yu Wentuo." Shen Bai said with lingering fear.

"But, since you got Furong Valley, isn't there a possibility that you have jumped out of the Three Realms?" Zihuan reminded.

Shen Bai looked at him, and said with a calm expression: "I am stuck in the pile of books every day, just looking for this answer, to see if there are any examples that have solved this situation."

"What are you looking at now?"

Shen Bai sighed uncertainly: "The recorded hinters are all sages and virtuous people, extraordinary and holy. Except for the existence of Master Huiguang and Master Lianhua, who exist in rumors and seeing is believing, there is no such person who has appeared so far. In the books, or in other words, there are biographical records."

Zihuan showed a thoughtful look: "I think we should look at the biographies of eminent monks and great virtues of the past dynasties, as well as the miraculous characters that appear in various religious scriptures, maybe there are some enlightened people of the chosen one among them. "

Shen Bai nodded: "That makes sense, then you go and transfer all these books."

"Okay!" Zihuan agreed.

"Ah?" Yu Wentuo said in surprise, "How many books did they buy?"

"About [-] copies, all of which are religious, my God, how many carts have been pulled!" said the commander of the dark guard.

"Did Prince Shen go there in person? What did he say?" Yu Wentuo asked.

"Prince Shen said that he and Lord Shen wanted to cultivate their minds, so they bought books like crazy."

"Does the emperor think there is a problem?" Shu Yu couldn't help asking.

Yu Wentuo had an indifferent expression: "I'm sorry, they really want to practice Buddhism."

"Hasn't this emperor been confirmed again and again?" Shu Yu asked back.

"I don't believe it!" Yu Wentuo put down the cup he just got up from: "Anyone would not be so easy to believe. One is a prince. The other is a person who has power over the world and surpasses all ministers. You believe that they are like this Will the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha live forever?"

"Believe it or not, it's not up to the minister to say, let time tell." Shu Yu reminded.

Yu Wentuo stretched out a finger and pointed at Shu Yu: "It makes sense, time is the thing that tests everything."

"Then?" asked the commander of the dark guard.

"Go down!" Yu Wentuo waved his hand, and then said to Shu Yu: "Xinwen, let someone find out all the Buddhist and Taoist books in the palace, and make a copy of the lonely ones, and let Wang Heng send them all over. .”

"Should I send it off?" Shu Yu asked.

"You don't have to go." Yu Wentuo waved his hand: "It's better to avoid suspicion!"

Shu Yu nodded and retreated after listening, Yu Wentuo kept paying attention to his facial expression and watched him leave.

"Wang Heng, how are you preparing the list of ladies from all the families I want you to find?" Yu Wentuo asked Eunuch Wang who was serving beside him.

"It's ready. Isn't it because the emperor has a lot of things recently, so he didn't have time to tell you?" Eunuch Wang replied.

"Well, you can bring it to Zhen to have a look. You must help Xinwen choose a wife carefully, so he shouldn't be abusive anymore." Yu Wentuo muttered to himself.

"Bend?" Eunuch Wang looked at Yu Wentuo in confusion.

Yu Wentuo smiled: "You don't understand even if you tell me, go get the roster!"

In Bianjing City in late May, good news kept pouring out like boiling weather.

In particular, He Yuantong's head was sent to Bianjing, and the whole Bianjing was blown up. Only then did he know that Qiongzhou had been recovered before he knew it, and Yingyunhou also sent his army south to attack the capital of Jiaozhi. Thang Long City.

"Have you heard that the emperor is strategizing and the decisive battle is thousands of miles away." The Donglai Tea House in Bianjing is a favorite place for ordinary people, and it is crowded with people every day.

"I can't help but know that the recovery of Qiongzhou this time is still the ability of Guishuai!" A tea guest said.

"How do you say that?" Someone asked in confusion.

The tea guest who just spoke patted the table: "Stupid, who is our Ying Yunhou?"

"The guards of Prince Shen, the troops of Zhongshu Army." The tea guests said one after another.

"Have you heard that the army and the fleet that recovered Qiongzhou were all set out by Zhongshu?"

"Oh!" All the tea guests nodded.

"It's a pity." The tea guest who spoke for Shen Bai sighed.

"What's the pity of winning the battle?" Someone asked in confusion.

"It's a pity that our handsome ghost, who eats fast and recites Buddha, was forced to go to Longyuan Temple by some people."

"This old thing is really a disaster!" All the tea guests scolded one after another.

Shen Bai saw Jia Shiqing's secret letter in Furong Valley, saying that Yu Wentuo did not allow Jia Shi'an to go to Furong Valley to meet him.

If it were someone else, maybe they would be paranoid, but if it were Shen Bai, it would be understandable for him.

Challenging the bottom line of people's doubts has always been what Yu Wentuo likes to do.

Shen Bai waved his hand and replied directly with a letter: "The situation in Khitan is weird. Shi Wei and Khitan have a structure. They want to break up Shangjing and help Anqi. Brother should decide on his own. If there is a mistake, help Shangjing Huining, and the alliance Xiao Qi wins the hearts of the people." , Follow the example of Brother Yu, forcing him to lead the alliance under the city. And destroying him, the North Road can be pacified."

Zihuan put down the commentary on the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and said puzzledly: "Didn't you obviously let the emperor see your letter? Are you not afraid to stir up topics?"

Shen Bai put down the brush: "I'm afraid that he won't peek, I just want to remind him and let him know what's good or bad."

Zihuan admitted: "This is right, so you will be at ease."

"I'm thinking, Xiao Qi is doomed to have a hard time now, otherwise the letter would not have complained to me in such a secret way. It was to see if I could help him. Unfortunately, I don't have the right to make decisions, otherwise Beiyuan will force him and the Northwest will assist him. , Zhongshu went to Zhongdu, I want Khitan to change the sky immediately."

"Tsk tsk, my Youyang County King, you'd better read the book carefully, come on, copy this Buddhist note." Zihuan handed him the book and said with a smile.

Yu Wentuo saw Shen Bai's letter to Jia Shiqing, and slapped the table: "There must be something wrong with Khitan."

Han Dong sat alone in the South Study Room, looking at Yu Wentuo: "Does it mean that the Khitan is going to have a civil war?"

Yu Wentuo stretched out his finger and pointed upward: "Shen Bai must know something?"

"What does your majesty mean, King Shen has a special source of information, stronger than the hidden guards?" Han Dong asked in disbelief.

"The dark guards are fine inside, but they are useful outside." Yu Wentuo said with a simmering anger: "Shen Bai has always advocated 'know yourself and the enemy, and defend the enemy from the outside. ' philosophy."

"Well, what the emperor said is really comprehensive. This is really his style. So that means, he stretches his hands very long?" Han Dong thought for a while and asked.

"This person is very popular. He stayed overnight in the ancient castle in the northwest. With a piano, he became friends with Prince Zhabu of Bailanqiang. In the end, he succeeded in persuading the Qiang people to send troops, and got Zanpu of Tubo to agree to form an alliance with our country." Yu Wentuo Analysis: "His advantage is that he is good at dividing the enemy and uniting all people who can be united. This is also his terrible place."

"You mean, he's in Khitan?" Han Dong was halfway through.

Yu Wentuo waved his hand: "Don't just say it, it's what you think. In your eyes, this is called collaborating with the enemy. To him, this is the way to divide the opponent. Even if he sits with the Khitan Emperor, he dares to talk about hype. I believe he can help people eliminate dissidents."

Han Dong couldn't help laughing: "No wonder people call him Guishuai. It's not that he's a 'ghost', but a ghost!"

Yu Wentuo patted the table: "I know why I am relieved of his retreat!"

"I won't be really idle, and I won't stand up." Han Dong concluded.

Yu Wentuo nodded: "This is the reason why some people are biting him. With such a No. [-] person, who can shake their Shen family's position in the mountains of Bianjing."

"Including the status of the third prince?" Han Dong asked.

"A nephew is more expensive than an uncle!" Yu Wentuo looked at Han Dong: "Let's hear this word for the first time!"
