Now that Bianjing is in danger, Zhao Ji has only woken up to the fact that he has not done his job properly over the years, which has made the country so weak, and in frustration, he actually intends to abdicate and make the crown prince Zhao Huan temporarily take charge of the government.

In other words, this Zhao Huan is a leisurely and indecisive person, and now he listens to the two factions arguing, which can really be described as the first two big. Therefore, there has been no decision on this matter, and it has been delayed for seven or eight days.

"His Royal Highness the Prince!! Pingyang has been lost, according to the detailed report, not long ago the Jin people have broken through the small city of Chenglong and are marching to Anyi. But as soon as Anyi was broken, Bianjing would be attacked by the Jin people's army of 40,000. The Jin people have always been cruel and ferocious, in order to protect the situation, they should quickly organize their troops and horses and go to help in the war! Guo Jing is said to be proficient in the magic of Buddhism and Taoism, and can perform the "Liujia Law" of Taoism, with 7,777 people to set up a formation, which is infinitely powerful, and will Buddhism "Bishamen Heavenly King Law", to capture the gold man that the commander Wu begs to buy, like a bag of exploration!! ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he was most curious about this elf's strange thing, and hurriedly asked, "This Guo Jing really has this ability!?" ”

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, this person is waiting outside the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can try his skills!"

“haha！！ Wow!! I want to see if this person is really capable, and he can make you repeatedly recommend Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War!! ”

Sun Bo was overjoyed when he was obedient, and a eunuch in the palace immediately shouted Guo Jing's name at the top of his throat. Cai Jing's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Under the main hall, before the hundred officials, how can you tolerate these three sects and nine streams!?" I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will think twice!! ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, his brows furrowed, although he had a good relationship with Cai Jing, he didn't trust him as much as Zhao Ji.

"Hey! Don't let the prime minister be disappointed, if this person really has the ability, let him give it a try, it is not impossible! Zhao Huan turned his mind and waved his hand.

"You!" Cai Jing saw that Zhao Huan didn't listen to his words, and he couldn't help but stare at him, and a trace of anger flashed. Zhao Huan's face suddenly turned pale, and the cunning Cai Jing hurriedly knelt down and confessed. Zhao Huan's face improved a little at this time, and Cai Jing retreated.

After a while, a man with a thin face, no flesh on his body, a mantle with a loose head, and wearing a Taoist robe, about forty or fifty years old, walked in quickly, and hurriedly bowed his head to greet him. Zhao Huan couldn't help but see that this person was weak, so he couldn't help but lose a little interest, and after yawning, he said, "Get up, if you have any skills, just play and see." But you can remember, you can be in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, if you dare to cheat, don't say it's you, I'm afraid that even the Lord of the Ministry of War will have to punish the crime together!! ”

As soon as Zhao Huan's words fell, Sun Boden shivered, and hurriedly looked at the Taoist priest Guo Jing with wide eyes. Guo Jing smiled calmly, shook off the dust, and then said: "The poor Dao has been cultivated on Zhongnan Mountain for seven or eight hundred years, and I have already understood the way of heaven, and I have already reached the realm of breaking through the void and ascending to heaven. But one day, Sanqinghua Butterfly reported his dream, saying that the world was about to be in chaos, saying that the disciple was fortunate to understand the way of heaven, and should help all living beings and save the common people. Poor Dao has seen through the red dust, and has seen the two dynasties subvert the prosperity and void, and knows that this will be divided for a long time, and it is the truth of heaven to divide it for a long time. If it is not for the Buddha to report the dream, saying that this is the reincarnation of cause and effect, the poor road is the fate of the dream of the three clears, and the fate and the result, and fortunately the Buddha granted the 'Bishamen Heavenly King Law', which can summon the heavenly spirit to go down to earth, and then wish to go out of the mountain, and serve the Song Dynasty with a meager force. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had some suspicions, so Poor Dao also cast a spell slightly, which opened the eyes of these ordinary people! ”

"Presumptuous~~!!"

"Arrogance~~!!"

"Ignorant rats~~!!"

As soon as Guo Jing's voice fell, all the courtiers scolded one after another. Guo Jing ignored it, and Cai Jing sneered again and again when he saw it.

Zhao Huan was also interested, very curious, so he quickly asked Guo Jing to perform. Guo Jing then invited two assistants to come up. Just above the Golden Palace, in front of the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, shiyan was carried out.

It is said that Guo Jing's two assistants, one is Fu Linzheng, a layman known as 'Mr. Fu', and the other is Liu Wuji, a Taoist who sells medicine in Kaifeng Market.

With Guo Jing's order, the two immediately drew many large circles and small circles on the floor tiles of the Golden Palace with white powder, and drew a door on the left and right sides of the outside of the large circle, with the word "life" written on the left door and the word "death" written on the right door.

Zhao Huan was surprised, so he asked. Guo Jing made a Taoist name and replied: "The so-called impermanence of life and death of people, the poor way has obtained the way of heaven, and can only control life and death." But the so-called God has the virtue of a good life, and man is the spirit of all things. Therefore, it is folded and folded, and it is displayed with a cat and a mouse. ”

"Oh!? Does the master really have this ability!? Zhao Huan was overjoyed when he saw that Guo Jing was right, and secretly thought that if this Guo Jing could really control life and death, then he couldn't let this Guo Jing extend his life for himself and have an immortal body, then he could enjoy the inheritance of thousands of generations!!

Guo Jing smiled indifferently and said, "What Poor Dao said doesn't count, and I invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to witness it with your own eyes." ”

"Good, good. Then you can get started! When Zhao Huan heard this, his heart became more anxious, and he hurriedly beckoned and said.

After Guo Jing made a salute, he strode and sat facing the south, and suddenly shouted loudly, and there were words in his mouth. Liu Daoren, who sells medicine, and Mr. Fu, a layman monk, each hold a golden bell, shaking it while reciting words.

At this moment, Guo Jing's closed eyes opened and shouted the word "stop". Liu Daoren on the left immediately took out a cat from his pocket, and Mr. Fu on the right also took out a mouse from his pocket.

Guo Jing then shouted the word "sheng" again, Mr. Fu put the mouse in the door of life, and Liu Daoren put the cat in the door of death.

Some of the courtiers who were watching couldn't help but exclaim, and Zhao Huan also hurriedly stood up and looked over. I saw the cat and the mouse enter the big circle together, and go around each other in the small circle. On several occasions, the cat and mouse passed by, and the mouse did not look afraid, and the cat did not seem to see the mouse at all.

Everyone was amazed, and they started a series of exclamations. It can be known that cats and mice are mortal enemies, and when they meet, they must be endless, how can they ignore them, there must be some clues in this, if it weren't for the fact that this Taoist named Guo Jing really has Taoism.

Cai Jing frowned and looked closely, but he couldn't see any clues for a while.

"Huh!? These three sects and nine first-rate people also have some skills! Cai Jing secretly slandered, and he was also a little curious to see what would happen to this person next.

After a period of time, Guo Jing suddenly shouted again: "Die"!

The cat and the mouse exchanged the entrance door. As soon as the rat entered the door of death, it immediately fell to the ground in fright and did not dare to move, and the cat jumped over and bit it to death with one paw. Such a Shiyan success, the ministers and chamberlains who watched from the sidelines were all surprised. Zhao Huan was even more overjoyed, clapping his hands again and again.

Guo Jing was plain and easy, made a Taoist number, and said: "The poor Taoist uses a little trick just to make everyone believe it." However, if it is thaumaturgy such as 'calling the wind and calling the rain' and 'scattering beans into soldiers', it cannot be used lightly, after all, if this kind of avenue technique, if it is not used to relieve the common people, it will definitely be wrathed. At that time, don't talk about poverty, or even those who watch will invite trouble. ”

As soon as Guo Jing's words came out, those ministers and chamberlains immediately said that they believed it. Zhao Huan was even more like a child who saw something he loved, and immediately rewarded Guo Jing and his two assistants, and also named Guo Jing the name of 'Zhong Nan Zhenren' on the spot, which was the same as the treatment of the national teacher. Even his two assistants to the homeless people in the market were also named the Marquis of a Thousand Households.

When Cai Jing saw Zhao Huan and believed Guo Jing, he couldn't help but be shocked and persuaded repeatedly. Zhao Huan didn't listen, but sarcastically mocked Cai Jing for being jealous of talents. Cai Jing was furious, saying that he was sick, so he retreated first. Zhao Huan saw that Cai Jing was so rude, and scolded the old horseman. After some persuasion by Sun Bo, the secretary of the military department, and Yin He Zhuo of Kaifeng, Zhao Huan was angry, and he was convinced of Sun and He.

Zhao Huan then gave Guo Jing tens of thousands of gold silks, and asked Guo Jing to recruit troops on his own, so that he could form them within ten days. Guo Jing received the order, and then began to recruit soldiers in the city, but did not ask whether his skills could be, only to see whether the eight characters of the birthday were in line with the Liujia, and the income was all the market refugees, not soldiers, and the number of people was pieced together at will, and the silver taels were left, which went to Guo Jing's pocket.

However, he said that Zhao Gou and Han Shizhong rushed back to Bianjing, and when they heard that Zhao Huan had taught a soldier to send troops to deal with the 40,000 troops of the Jin people, they were all frightened and changed color, and hurriedly came to see Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji has gone to Dali Temple to retreat, not asking about political affairs, these days even his long-time confidant Cai Jing can't see it, don't say this Zhao Gou, Han Shizhong.

The two were helpless, so they went to the Golden Palace to see Zhao Huan. As soon as Zhao Huan saw Han Shizhong, he ordered his chamberlain to arrest him, and he beheaded Han Shizhong for the crimes of fornicating with the barbarians, only accepting Yamanashi, and neglecting the war.

Zhao Gou was shocked and didn't even listen to the persuasion. Sun Bo, the secretary of the military department, had some old feelings with Han Shizhong, so he persuaded Han Shizhong's deployment now, and he was still confronting the barbarians in Yanjing under the Tianpen Pass, if Han Shizhong was beheaded, I am afraid that his wife and subordinates would join the barbarians. Moreover, Han Shizhong rushed to Pingyang, although he failed to kill the Jin people, but he also stopped the Jin people's advance, bought a lot of time, and made him exempt from the death penalty, and let him wear the crime and make meritorious service and go to war with the army.

When Zhao Huan heard this, he also favored Sun Bo, so he exempted Han Shizhong from the death penalty, deprived him of his position, and demoted him to a miscellaneous general. Han Shizhong didn't dare to disobey, and he retreated.

Zhao Gou saw that Zhao Huan wanted to kill Han Shizhong as soon as he came, knowing that he saw that Han Shizhong was close to him, and he had the intention to weaken his shili, and he knew that he hated it, but at the moment of national crisis, he didn't want to compete with him for power and profit, so he urgently asked about sending troops.

Guo Jing himself talked and laughed freely, claiming that if he sent 300 troops on a certain day, he could keep the Jin soldiers back to Yinshan.

Zhao Gou sneered when he heard this, and said to Zhao Huan: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of being able to defeat the enemy with witchcraft. What's more, the Jin people are surging, with 40,000 troops, and the soldiers under their command can fight well, how can a Taoist be able to fight against him!? If he really has this ability, I am afraid that my Great Song Jiangshan would have been taken away by these Taoists a long time ago. The royal brother relies on him so much, I'm afraid it's not good for the country!! ”

When Zhao Huan heard this, he felt that his younger brother, who had not been favored since he was a child, had repeatedly fought against him, which was extremely hateful, his eyes were round, and he scolded angrily: "Ignorant child!" Zhong Nanzhen was born for the current event, and God gave me the talent of the Great Song Dynasty.

The little things in the enemy camp can be known by a little calculation. The transcendence of his Taoism, how can you be known by a mortal person!? ”

As soon as Zhao Huan's words came out, Zhao Gou's face suddenly changed, he was angry and shocked, and he was not afraid of it, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, he shouted angrily: "The imperial brother has been deeply confused by this demonic way, if he does not repent, it will cause a catastrophe~~!! ”
