The Way of the National Teacher

Kou Tianshi is back.

When Chu Li saw the old man again, it seemed like a lifetime away.

However, Kou Tianshi sighed heavily the first time he saw her, "Miss Chu, don't come here without any problems."

Stay safe.

Chu Li was in a trance for a while.Unknowingly, from the fifth year of Taiyan to the present, she has been in the officialdom of the Great Wei for five years.What has she experienced in the past five years?Now, she is the national teacher of the Great Wei, an unrecognized small national teacher.

"Kou Tianshi." After Chu Li bowed, Kou Tianshi looked at her and shook his head regretfully.

"Miss Chu, do you still remember what you said to me back then?" Kou Tianshi sighed when he saw Helian Kuo walking behind Chu Li, "It's a pity, it's a pity!"

What did you say to him at the beginning?Chu Li couldn't remember.

He Lianzhen held her hand, "Li'er, is this Kou Tianshi?"

Chu Li nodded, and suddenly realized that Kou Tianshi was the main combat faction back then, so he was very nervous, "Senior sister, you..."

Helian Kuo smiled, "Don't worry."

"Senior Sister," Chu Li murmured, looking at Kou Tianshi's back, "Da Wei is already in chaos."

Helian Kuo's expression was a bit complicated, "In troubled times..."

Soon, Cui Situ learned that his mentor was back and paid a special visit.

Who knew Kou Tianshi beat him out before entering the study room, "You know your mistake!"

Cui Hao stood at the door of the study with a gloomy expression.

Chu Li and He Lianzhen were not far away, so they went in if they didn't know.

I heard Cui Hao say, "Master, what is wrong with this disciple!"

Kou Tianshi said angrily, "How many innocent people have you killed this year!"

"Master, I have tried my best to carry forward the way of the heavenly master, there is nothing wrong with it!" Cui Hao stood up straight.

Kou Tianshi's beard was raised, and he pointed at Cui Hao tremblingly, "Sin, sin! If you want to carry forward your own teaching, you can preach the law, do benevolence and do righteousness, but you kill innocent people indiscriminately, you...you! "

"Master, the monks in the world are in power now, and they can't be broken or established. If the world is not allowed to see the true face of the monks, how can they repent!" Cui Hao's brows are full of anger, "Besides, they have done a lot of evil, what is there to be pitiful for!"

Kou Tianshi breathed a sigh of relief, "Nowadays, the teaching of teachers is already the state religion, and Buddhism is powerless to compete. Can you stop it by destroying Buddha?"

Cui Hao frowned, "If you cut the grass but don't get rid of the roots, there will be endless troubles."

"Confused!" Kou Tianshi coughed angrily, "Buddhism absorbed metaphysics and morality at the beginning of its introduction, and now our religion has also absorbed a lot of Buddhist principles. The two religions merge with each other and can coexist completely. They have not developed to the point of life and death! If you do this, you are making enemies of the prince! The world of Wei is in chaos! The royal family headed by the prince has always worshiped Buddhism and suppressed Taoism. I'm afraid that not only the sect will find it difficult to gain a foothold, but even the congregation may face the plight of the Samanas today!"

Cui Hao said stubbornly, "Master, you also know that there are Xianbei nobles behind the monks. Now that the nobles are big, it is really destabilizing the court. My disciple is right!"

"You..." Kou Tianshi was out of breath, no matter how good his cultivation was, now he saw his proud disciple doing reckless actions and killing countless people, how could he keep calm.

Cui Hao refused to listen to the persuasion, and simply bowed and said, "Master just came back, and the boat and car are exhausting, you should rest more, the disciple will leave first." After speaking, he shook his hand and left.

Chu Li saw all kinds of mixed feelings, and he and He Lianzhen hurried forward to support Kou Qianzhi who was almost fainted, "Master!"

Kou Qianzhi held Chu Li's hand, glanced at He Lianzhen, "Miss Chu, since the poor are back, you can go." He said, "Don't get involved in this muddy water. Miss Chu, you are originally talented, but now that you look back, there is still time, so let's take your senior sister away."

Chu Li and He Lianxuan looked at each other, "Master Kou, please rest first."

They helped Kou Tianshi into the study room. Kou Tianshi held Chuli's hand and looked at Helian, crying, "Miss Chu, Miss Helian, this calamity is a miscalculation by the poor, and I shouldn't implicate you. Now the poor Come back, go and explain to the emperor, you go this morning! There is a poor Taoist, the emperor will not embarrass you."

Chu Li and Helian Kuo remained silent.

They have already reached an agreement with King Wu to help King Wu bring down the prince. Even if they leave the National Teacher's Mansion, they cannot get away completely.Moreover, Chu Li didn't think that Emperor Wei would let them go at this time.

When Kou Tianshi saw this, he lamented again and again, but the old Tianshi had made up his mind, and the next day he went to the palace to see Emperor Wei.Emperor Wei was overjoyed to see Kou Tianshi come back, but after listening to Kou Tianshi's words, he pushed back and forth.

"The little national teacher is young and promising. Although Kou Tianshi has great abilities, Chu Guoshi is young after all, and he will have great achievements in the future. How about it," Wei Di said, "The position of national teacher will not be included in the history books, but it is just a respectful title. Tianshi, you have high morals and prestige. Naturally, she should be called a national teacher. Then Chuli, let her temporarily live in the national teacher's residence and become a small national teacher."

Kou Qianzhi could see that Emperor Wei did not intend to stop and destroy Buddha at all.He pondered over and over again, and went to see the prince Tuobahuang.

Although Tuoba Huang hated Cui Hao and Chu Li deeply, he was respectful and polite to Kou Qianzhi.When Kou Qianzhi saw the prince, he knelt down without saying a word, and Tuobahuang hurriedly helped him up, "What is the celestial master doing!"

"Prince, forgive me!" Kou Tianshi said, "Poverty education is not effective, the bad guy has committed a heinous crime, and the poor way is asking the prince for forgiveness!"

Tuobahuang paused the hand that was supporting him, and sighed, "I'll accept the kneeling of the celestial master. The injustice has its head and the debtor, the celestial master can rest assured, I will take care of myself."

The implication is that he promised Kou Tianshi that in the future he would never kill the heavenly masters and Taoists like today's extermination of Buddha.

Kou Tianshi still wanted to intercede for Cui Hao, but seeing the prince's resolute expression, he had to swallow his words and leave.After leaving the palace, he let out a long sigh, "It's rare for Cui Hao to die well!"

Under the instruction of Emperor Wei, Cui Hao's campaign to exterminate Buddhism became more and more severe.

Chu Li was still with Cui Hao, only to feel that the people of Wei had been filled with resentment, and there were countless monks who died tragically.Chu Li tried to persuade Cui Hao repeatedly, but it was useless.When I said more, Cui Hao was so powerful that he was so jealous that he even invited He Lianqiu, "You just have to live your life well. Chu Li," she said, "you are useless gone."

Chu Li thumped in his heart.

Helian's heart also tightened, she hesitated again and again before she said, "Li'er, it's time for King Wu to take action."

Chu Li shook his head, "No, the King of Wu won't do it now. The crown prince is in full swing and is fighting against Rouran. He has the military power in his hands, and the King of Wu won't fly to the flames."

"Then..." Helian Kuo said, "Only, you go back to the Southern Dynasty with me."

Chu Li was silent, "Back to the Southern Dynasty, it means you have to rely on Liu Shao. Liu Shao has bad intentions for you. Now you have to ask him, and we have nothing to rely on. How can he not blackmail you? I won't go."

He Liankuo smiled, "What silly things are you talking about? You are the master of the Great Wei Dynasty, and everyone knows it. Now that you have defected to the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Song is looking for talents and is thirsty. Of course, he will give you preferential treatment."

"However, the prince of the Southern Dynasty is not easy to provoke." Chu Li said calmly, "We just took advantage of the situation to disrupt the Great Wei. Are we going to be involved in the royal family's battle when we go to the Southern Dynasty? If this is the case, when will it end?"

He Liankuo poked her and pointed, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so let's go through the barrier in front of us first."

"Hmm..." Chu Li said hesitantly, "Cui Hao may not necessarily kill me."

He Lianxuan was displeased, "Cui Hao is cruel, there is no reason not to kill you."

Chu Li looked into Helian Kuo's eyes, "Senior Sister, let me tell you something, don't be angry."

"what?"

"Master Cui, she...she is a woman."

He Lianzhen was startled, "What?!"

"And..." Chu Li's voice was extremely low, "She seems to be with Queen Helian..."

Helian Kuo's expression changed suddenly, and his teeth were gritted.

Chu Li hurriedly said, "Senior sister, good senior sister, don't be angry, they have nothing to do with you anymore, don't they?"

"Huh—" He Liankuo let out a long breath, "Yes, it doesn't matter."

"So," Chu Li said, "we can act first."

"Ok?"

"Get rid of her before Cui Hao has time to attack." Chu Li said, "She is too scary. If she continues like this, I don't know how many people will die in the world. She almost kills monks whenever she sees her. The monk is good. The emperor has acquiesced again, and no one can stop her unless—”

"The queen may be the only one who can stop her." Helian Kuo interrupted Chu Li, "You want me to find the queen."

Chu Li lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

Helian Kuo looked at her quietly for a while, pinched her chin, looked into her eyes, "Okay."

As long as Chu Li can avoid this catastrophe, it's no big deal to ask the queen, Helian Kuo thought, that's just a stranger, it's no big deal.
