The gate of death was back in his hands, which always gave Fadu a little more hope.

Although sleep is no longer a necessity for Fadu, even closing his eyes and taking a short rest has become a habit.

Early in the morning, Xuexiu knocked on the door: "Master! Master, get up quickly! Something serious has happened!"

Although Xuexiu was young, his temperament was more mature and stable than his age. He was in such a hurry, something must have happened.

Fadu got up to open the door, but Xuexiu almost slammed into it, and before he could stand still, he shouted loudly: "Master! Your Majesty, he...he...he wants...cough cough cough..."

Fadu waited for a long time, but he still couldn't calm down, so he could only persuade him patiently: "Speak slowly."

"You little idiot." Lan Ruo opened the door and came in, "Your Majesty just wants to make Master a national teacher, why are you so anxious?"

"Why did Baoshu never mention this to me?" Fadu frowned, "Where did you get the news? Is it true?"

"Your Majesty's ceremonial officer is waiting outside, and the sedan chair is also waiting outside the temple, how could it be false?" Lan Ruo was full of joy, and bowed slightly towards Fadu, "Congratulations, master, from now on you will be under one person." The venerable who is above ten thousand people will no longer have to suffer unreasonable criticism from those above the market."

"If I am granted the title, there will probably be more criticisms from the market court in the future." Fadu smiled wryly, "Go out and tell the ceremonial officer that Yi Xun deserves the honor of being a national teacher and cannot accept the gift."

Lan Ruoxuexiu and the two looked at each other, they didn't expect that Fadu would reject such a good offer.

Fadu didn't bother to explain the stakes in it. The position of national teacher came suddenly. Either Baoshu's child had a whim or got into trouble and had to be settled by him. Neither of the two is a good thing. .

Lan Ruo and Xuexiu went out and refused a few times, but finally turned back helplessly.

"The ceremony officer left?"

"No, I'm still kneeling outside." Lan Ruo responded.

"It seems that he was ordered to die, and he dare not go back and return the order if he fails to achieve his goal." Fadu smiled wryly.

Lan Ruo replied: "Don't say it's the ceremony officer, all the ministers inside and outside the court are kneeling under the ceremony platform. It's sunny and rainy at this moment, I don't know if those old men can bear it. "

Fadu frowned slightly.

Xuexiu blinked: "Your Majesty really gave Master enough face, if Master doesn't go again, I'm afraid Your Majesty's face will not look good."

Fadu sighed: "Baoshu's move is not to save face, but to force me to submit."

Lan Ruo asked: "Master, why don't you go?"

"Baoshu is no longer the child he was back then. If you go against the emperor's wishes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live in peace in the future." Fadu smiled wryly, "Bring me a clean monk's robe."

Lan Ruo was overjoyed: "What monk robes do you need? The ceremonial officer has already prepared everything, and Lan Ruo will bring it here."

Sure enough, the ceremony table was full of ministers kneeling up and down, and almost everyone looked at Fa Du with disdain and resentment in their eyes.

Baoshu stood alone at the top, his dragon robe flipping back and forth in the wind.Although there was a canopy to shield him from the wind and rain, the corners of his brows were still stained with moisture.

The strong aroma of jasmine is wrapped in rainwater and lingers around, and a cold earth air is rushing up the stone steps.

Fadu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, so it turned out that Defei's grievances refused to dissipate for a long time, was it just to be able to see these people who had harmed them so humblely submit to Baoshu's feet?

"Yi Xian... National Teacher." The officer of ceremony bowed to Fado and saluted, "Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Fa Du shook his head: "Although I'm here, I don't intend to be sealed."

The ceremonial officer hurriedly knelt down: "National Teacher, I am only following orders, so please don't make things difficult for me. If I can't invite you, I will lose my head."

Fadu smiled slightly: "Didn't I come here?"

The ceremonial officer really didn't know how to persuade him, he was worried when he suddenly heard the uproar behind him, when he turned his head and saw Emperor Jing walking down the stone steps, he was frightened and dumbfounded.

"Yi Xun, I know you will definitely come." Baoshu had a smile on his face, as if he wasn't annoyed that Fadu came too late.Just as Fadu was about to refuse, Baoshu reached out and grabbed him: "Master, please."

Fadu looked at the hand being grabbed and smiled wryly: "Why did you force me to such a degree?"

"I have no relatives in this world anymore, and you are my only support." Baoshu showed the coquettish expression of Chao Fadu when he was a child, "I just want you to be by my side always, so that I won't feel I've really become a loner."

Fadu would never argue with Baoshu on the spot, and Baoshu dragged him, so he could only follow step by step up the stairs.

Every step forward, several ministers will be left behind.

The higher the climb, the lower and lower the surrounding scenery, as if the whole world bowed its head in front of it.

"National teacher, this is your home from now on. Don't go anywhere, just stay here. Protect the world, protect me." Baoshu's eyes flashed with joy, "Aren't you happy?"

Fadu smiled wryly.

The country bows its head, and the world is home.

But whose world is it that I want to protect?

It may not have been unexpected that Fadu finally became a supreme minister, but Emperor Jing personally led him up the stone steps, which attracted a lot of criticism from the government and the opposition.

"You have heard that today His Majesty finally appointed the man from Huguo Temple as a national teacher, and even walked down from the platform to meet him personally."

"No, talking about that person is really ignorant. The civil and military officials of the whole court knelt down and waited for him. If His Majesty does not welcome him personally, he still refuses to be granted the title."

"Don't tell me, His Majesty not only greeted her personally, but also walked up with her arms and sleeves. Think about it, even when she was named Queen, Queen Wei never received such treatment."

"I don't know where this person came from to make His Majesty listen to what he said. I'm afraid there is something hidden, hehehe."

"No way, isn't Yi Xun a monk?"

"Although this Yi Xun is a monk, he looks very good-looking."

"That's... I heard that His Majesty met the national teacher at the Huasheng Pond in Huzhou, and will change the Huguo Temple into Huasheng Temple tomorrow, and give him some kind of residence."

"Hey, keep your voice down. Don't you know that someone was discussing this matter in private today, but His Majesty happened to bump into him and pulled out his tongue on the spot."

Fadu's hand stopped on the chessboard.

"Master?" Xuexiu looked at Fadu in confusion.

Fadu twirled the chess piece and smiled: "Your chess skills have improved a lot recently, and you will surpass your master soon."

"It's not that the disciple is improving, it's just that the master is upset." Xuexiu curled his lips, "Forget it, since the master is absent-minded, Xuexiu should go back to his room and go to bed first."

Fadu tightly clenched the dead door in his palm, and even the pain of nails digging into his palm became more and more clear.

From the morning when Lan Ruo told him that Baoshu was going to make him a national teacher, it seemed as if the fate had been pushed suddenly, making everything thrilling.

Huasheng Temple, Qintian Xingshe, Yi Guoshi.

This is how it all started.

He created his own past and wrote his own destiny.

"Master, Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he... Ouch!"

Fadu glanced at Xuexiu who ran in in a hurry but stumbled at the door, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty changed the name of this place to Huasheng Temple, and made it the National Teacher's Residence. In addition, he granted Qintian Xingshe, land and food. Lu, I know all of this."

"Master really has the ability to predict the future." Xuexiu is used to reading sage books, although he has some criticisms about Fa Du's deeds, he does express his admiration for his ability from the bottom of his heart. Everyone in the hall was arguing."

"That's natural." Lan Ruo followed in, "Your Majesty suddenly announced the canonization of the national teacher, which caught those old stubborn by surprise. They didn't think of a countermeasure yesterday, and they will definitely deliberately plan words against His Majesty today."

At such a young age, Baoshu was able to calmly deal with the opposition without giving in, which was beyond Fadu's expectations.The bitterness and resentment given to Baoshu by the years are expressed in a kind of uncompromising paranoia, which is just not good for him.

The way of being a king is the principle of relaxation and retreat. If the army is strong, the tree will be destroyed, and if the strong is broken, Baoshu's persistence is just to give the enemy a reason to get rid of him.

Fadu pondered slightly: "How many people did Baoshu kill?"

Xuexiu and Lan Ruo looked at each other, and replied softly: "First, Master Yang was used to scare the monkeys with Hu Shu, and then Master Chen interceded for him, and the whole family was beheaded... In the end, they collided with each other and forced each other to die. Only then did it stop. Six adults were beheaded, two households were ransacked, and hundreds of people were implicated."

Fadu frowned.

All Baoshu can do is to kill others to stop others' mouths, but people's hearts cannot be sealed after all.

"Master, don't worry, His Majesty will always protect you." Lan Ruo replied, "For the present plan, as long as Master makes a contribution to the court, His Majesty can reward Master justifiably, and Master's situation will not be so embarrassing. .”

"That's right." As soon as he finished speaking, Baoshu walked in.

"Why didn't your majesty send someone to let you know when he came in, so that the temple could prepare a guard of honor for your majesty." Fadu looked up at him, Baoshu's face turned out to be a look of waiting to be praised, and what was even more astonishing was that he The aura that belonged to the emperor was gradually being overshadowed by the resentment of dying in vain.

"Your Majesty?" Baoshu laughed softly, "Is the national teacher angry with me?"

After Fadu signaled Xuexiu and Lanruo to leave, he sighed: "What exactly does Your Majesty want me to do?"

Bao Shu slowly sat down next to the table: "It's very simple, I want a big enough rebellion."

Fadu frowned and didn't answer.

"The reason why those old and stubborn people brought me back was because no one was willing to go all out to keep the throne. It's the same now, as long as there is another rebellion, and you can quell the rebellion for me, then no one will It can shake your status as a national teacher."

Fadu couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty is really flattering Yi Xun. Yi Xun is just a useless person who can't even meditate well. How can he shoulder the heavy responsibility of quelling the rebellion?"

Baoshu replied: "Putting down the rebellion is just an ordinary thing. If you want to do it, you must be better than thousands of troops."

Fadu patiently reasoned with the child who thought about it: "Even if you are right, where should you go to find a big enough rebellion?"

"I said he would rebel, so he would rebel." Baoshu's answer was perfect and irrefutable.There is no excuse for accusing him of a crime, even without accusations, as long as he uses a little tricks, he can force the other party to rebel.

Baoshu paused for a while: "Even if he doesn't rebel, I say he rebelled if he did."

Fadu looked at the person in front of him, he was clearly a young man who had not grown up yet, but he had a more mature and deeper city than many adults in his heart.

What's even more frightening is that his current strength is not enough to bear the overly large blueprint in his heart.

Seeing that Fadu didn't speak, Baoshu suddenly softened his attitude: "Don't be angry, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't worry, if you really don't like it, I won't force you. Anyway, you just want to put on a show. There is no need to actually go into battle to kill the enemy.”

Fadu frowned: "Then where does His Majesty think the rebellion should take place?"

Feeling that his attitude was loose, the smile on Baoshu's face suddenly bloomed like a flower: "Huzhou."
