Chapter 650, The King's Decision
The king of Che Chi Guo said with a smile: "I don't know what these three courtyards are?"
Tang Sanzang explained with a smile: "The so-called three hospitals are nursing homes, orphanages, and nursing homes. Provide free living security for the lonely elderly, orphans, and disabled people in the society, and teach them survival skills. ”
The king of Che Chi looked at Tang Sanzang with a smile on his face, and his heart suddenly sank, this monk is even more difficult to deal with than those three national teachers! A typical smiling tiger, his mind is deep.
Is this going to buy people's hearts at the beginning? What does he want to do? In the eyes of the king, Tang Sanzang had two small black horns on his head at this moment, and his fangs were hideous and he looked at himself with a wild smile.
King Che Chi was silent for a moment, then said with a forced smile: "This third court is really a good policy!
Tang Sanzang shook his head and smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know, these three courtyards were established by people with great virtue, and everything they do is to help the weak and help the world, and there is no utilitarian heart, so they are all free." Your Majesty only needs to make a decree. ”
Tang Sanzang is also embarrassed to say that these three courtyards are controlled by Taoism, and he is a monk who always matches Taoism, what is the reason?
The king of Che Chi roared in his heart and shouted, "Don't want anything, it's all free, is there such a good person in the world?"
The king was uneasy in his heart, looking at Tang Sanzang's contemptuous smile, he wanted to order him to be arrested and killed several times, but thinking of the magic power that this monk had shown before, he could only hold back his grievances.
The king smiled and said, "Holy monk, the widow needs to think about it. ”
Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do you still need to consider this kind of thing that benefits the country and the people?"
In the eyes of the king of Che Chi Kingdom, Tang Sanzang was obviously forcing the palace, and with that contemptuous look, the King of Che Chi Guo was furious in his heart.
King Che Chi took a deep breath and said, "Holy monk, this matter is very important after all, and the widow has to discuss it with the minister. ”
Tang Sanzang said regretfully: "The poor monk can only wait, I hope Your Majesty will reply as soon as possible." ”
King Che Chiguo's heart suddenly burst and said, "Isn't the holy monk leaving?"
Tang Sanzang looked at the king who cared about him, and a warm current welled up in his heart, Your Majesty is really a good person!
Tang Sanzang said with a warm smile: "The poor monk is more familiar with the person in charge of the three courtyards, and when it is implemented and handed over to them, the poor monk will continue on the road." ”
The king of Che Chi Kingdom was cold in his heart, and he wouldn't leave until his goal was achieved!
Tang Sanzang stood up, folded his hands, and said respectfully, "The poor monk has taken his leave." ”
The king of Che Chi looked at Tang Sanzang, who was very respectful, and felt sick in his heart, so hypocritical monk, and remembered that the national teacher was coming, although the national teacher was a little contemptuous of imperial power, but at least it was not hypocritical, and he did not mean to occupy his own country.
After Tang Sanzang left, the face of the king of Che Chi changed a few times, his arm swept in front of him, there was a crackling sound, the teapot and cup fell to the ground, the fragments splashed randomly, and the tea on the table flowed down in a line.
The old prime minister walked over from a distance, looked at the debris on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
The king of Che Chiguo said with a hideous face: "Prime Minister, you are right, that monk is really uneasy and kind, and he has already planned to plant forces in the country, and he has a big plan. ”
The prime minister sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"
King Chechi's face changed, and he said, "Send someone to monitor them first and delay this matter." ”
The prime minister bent down and said respectfully: "Yes!"
At night, Tang Sanzang recited the scriptures for a while and began to fall asleep.
A palace inside the palace of Chechi Kingdom is brightly lit, the king and the prime minister are standing in it, and outside stand elite soldiers in armor and sharp, with their bows wound and their swords unsheathed.
The prime minister bent down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the spies have reported that there is one less person among the Tang Dynasty monks today. ”
The king, who was pacing restlessly, stopped suddenly, turned his head and exclaimed, "What?
The prime minister said respectfully: "The monkey walker is missing." ”
The king's face was ugly and he said, "Is that the monkey who gambled with the national teacher and was reborn?"
The prime minister nodded and said, "Yes!"
The king walked up and down quickly, and murmured, "Where has he gone? Where will he go?"
His feet slammed down, his face turned pale, and he looked around vigilantly, vaguely feeling that a pair of evil eyes were staring at him in the darkness.
The king swallowed his saliva and said uneasily, "When did you find out that he was not there?"
The old prime minister said respectfully: "According to the spies' inquiry, I saw the monkey walker in the morning, and since Tang Sanzang came to the palace, there has been no trace of the monkey walker. ”
With a crisp sound, the king slapped the prime minister in the face and shouted angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The prime minister's head tilted after being beaten, his feet staggered, and he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry! The spies weren't sure if the monkey walker had gone out to play, and it wasn't until now that the monkey walker hadn't come back that they were sure that the monkey walker was indeed gone." ”
The king sneered and said, "Tang San hid into the palace, and the monkey disappeared, guess where the monkey is?"
The prime minister's face changed, and he quickly looked up and looked around, and said in a low voice of horror: "Palace!"
The king was disheartened and said, "Yes, Tang Sanzang did not hide the news of the monkey's disappearance at all, this is to warn me! If the widow does not agree to his conditions, maybe the widow's head will appear in front of the monk the next day." ”
The old prime minister shouted in disbelief and in a low voice: "How can this be? How dare they?" suddenly remembered the national teacher in his heart, how dare a monk with a national teacher be so presumptuous?!
The old prime minister said bitterly: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?"
The old king was gloomy, bent down in all directions and bowed respectfully, and said: "Master Monkey rest assured, the widow will definitely follow the instructions of the holy monk to implement the affairs of the three courtyards, and please ask Master Monkey's subordinates to be merciful." ”
In a trance, the old king felt his gaze hidden in the darkness disappear.
King Che Chi straightened his waist, gritted his teeth and said, "Prime Minister, now you can only go one way to the dark." ”
The old prime minister bowed and said firmly: "Please instruct Your Majesty, the old minister will not hesitate to go to the soup for Your Majesty." ”
The king of Che Chi Kingdom looked fierce and said: "Seal all Taoist temples, all Taoist priests are pulled out and reduced to coolies, we completely turn to Buddhism, I hope they can show mercy." ”
The old prime minister said respectfully: "Yes! He turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.
Inside the palace, the king of Che Chi sighed and said decadently: "Why is it so difficult for a widow to want to be a real emperor?"
