Chapter 1158: The Outspoken Master Jiexian
"What is this?!" After reading the letter, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt completely confused.
"Zhenxuan, come and look at this." Knowing that Zhenxuan still thought that the person who went to see Alan Amitabha was the old Taoist priest, His Royal Highness the King of Chu decided to resolve this misunderstanding first.
So... a moment later.
"Your Highness, this Zhishilang..." After reading the letter, Zhang Zhenxuan couldn't help but wonder, "What is the purpose of this move?"
"You ask me, I don't know either." His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head and looked at Master Jiexian: "Master, can you tell me what you meant by sending me off for three hours?"
"Your Highness, when you meet the old Heavenly Master, you will know everything." Master Jiexian smiled and said, "I and Wang Bu are just icing on the cake. We are not qualified to interfere. After all, the one who really helped you was the old Heavenly Master..."
"..." His Royal Highness the King of Chu looked at the eminent monk in front of him. He thought for a moment and then said, "Then can you tell me if this Wang Bu really knows the will of heaven?"
"This man is just a half-baked man, he can only do a few tricks." Master Jiexian clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Li Kuan: "Moreover... Oftentimes, knowing more does not mean you know what to do - there were so many heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but who dared to say that he could defeat Zhang Xutuo?
Knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.”
"But he said he is better than you." As everyone knows, fanning the flames is one of His Royal Highness the King of Chu's hobbies.
"Your Highness, I will not be fooled by you." Although Master Jiexian was a highly educated monk, he could not stand the King of Chu's persistence, so he simply blocked the door and said, "I am only a half-baked person. No, a little half-baked person."
"Zhenxuan," His Royal Highness the King of Chu suddenly looked at Zhang Zhenxuan after hearing this: "Master, what you mean is that the old Heavenly Master is just a half-bucket of water - can you tolerate this?"
"No... Your Highness..." Although Zhang Zhenxuan was used to King Chu's erratic behavior, he still had a hard time occasionally: "The mage didn't mention this."
"Alas... Zhenxuan, you don't understand..." Seeing this, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu wanted to fool him again.
"The old Heavenly Master's path is as deep as the abyss, unfathomable." Master Jiexian is now very glad that the young Heavenly Master in front of him does not share the same brain with his reckless patriarch: "Little friend Zhenxuan, you have the potential to surpass your master in the future..."
"What are you talking about?" When King Chu heard what the Master said, he was immediately displeased: "What do you mean by 'hope'? It should be 'definitely'! Master, you are not allowed to destroy the Daoist heart of my Zhenxuan!"
"……\" At this time, Zhang Zhenxuan, who was standing aside, was stunned at first after hearing what King Chu said, and then he laughed.
To be honest, after these years of being tempered by the side of His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Zhang Zhenxuan really doesn’t think that there will be a day in the future when his “heart of Taoism will be broken”.
“Uh…” Master Jiexian was stunned at first, then he suddenly said: “Your Highness…I was thinking…The little celestial master has been with you for so many years, and he is still untainted by the mud. His tenacity is evident…”
"Ahem..." Zhang Zhenxuan felt that he had met a soulmate, so he wanted to protect the outspoken Master Jiexian a little.
"——Okay, Master, you've been talking too little." His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu didn't understand why he was surrounded by all these weird masters.
Well, this is all Jiang Gong’s fault!
Who asked him to start this?
-------------------------------------
"Who told you to start like that?" - At that time in the distant Chang'an, His Majesty Li II looked at the memorial presented by Zhangsun Wuji in person, and he felt suffocated with "his eyes darkened": "Now that Tuyuhun has been destroyed, I asked you to commend Li Jing, but you said right away that they distributed military rations to Tubo soldiers and allowed them to take away part of the treasures in Tuyuhun's treasury. It seems that you are nurturing the enemy... Wuji! Do you want me to punish Li Jing?!"
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant." Changsun Wuji didn't want to take the blame, but he had no choice: "I know that the Duke of Wei is innocent."
"Then what do you mean by this?" His Majesty Li Er was furious when he heard this and said, "Wuji, I trust Li Jing!"
"Your Majesty, even if you trust the Duke of Wei, but between you and His Royal Highness the King of Chu... how do you think the Duke of Wei will choose?" Zhang Sun Wuji sighed and said, "To be honest... Erlang... I don't want to be a treacherous minister who frames loyal officials, but... after the capital of Tuyuhun was captured, the Duke of Wei distributed the spoils to Lu Dongzan, and then turned around and called the people I had planted in the army to him..."
When Changsun Wuji said this, he didn't know whether Emperor Li II could bear what he was going to say next, so he simply stopped talking.
"Go on, keep talking!" Seeing him like this, His Majesty Li II couldn't help but said unhappily, "You want to tell me that these are all Li Jing's ideas, right?!"
"Your Majesty, this is indeed what the Duke of Wei wanted." Zhangsun Wuji felt that this matter had caused so much trouble that he was willing to be a bad guy for Erlang, but in the end, the other party didn't appreciate it: "The Duke of Wei wants to retire - his brother Qiongranke established the Buyeo Kingdom overseas, and he wants to take his wife to visit his brother."
"You believe what he says?" Emperor Li II was so angry that he laughed when he heard it.
"Your Majesty, what can I do if I don't believe it?" Zhang Sun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "I also understand that Li Jing is afraid of being too successful and shocking the emperor. Secondly, you should also know that it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty to have wars in the future.
The King of Chu has now fought his way to India. When he returns victorious, he will kill the Linyi people who stand in the way of his army's return. The Tang Dynasty will then usher in unprecedented peace.
A peaceful world is good for everyone, and everyone is happy when Li Jing retires. "
"boom!"
In response to Changsun Wuji's words, Emperor Li II slapped the desk hard.
"Who told you that my generals have no place to use their skills now that the world is peaceful?" The reason why His Majesty Li II was angry at the moment was because of Zhangsun Wuji's unnecessary and thoughtful behavior: "I have never been a king who would abandon his generals after their death. Even if my generals no longer need to fight on the battlefield, I will never treat them unfairly-"
"Erlang, there are only you and me in this palace today." Changsun Wuji did not wait for Emperor Li Er to finish his words, and for the first time ever, he took the initiative to interrupt him: "I know that you think letting Li Jing go and letting him go to the south is tantamount to letting a tiger go back to the mountain, but don't you really want to know--"
"I don't want to!" At this moment, Emperor Li II suddenly felt a huge panic in his heart.
The prince is gradually becoming distant from me, Qingque Zhinu and Ke'er are now following Kuan'er to fight outside...
There were some things that Emperor Li II, who already felt guilty about, really didn't dare to think about any more.
Because when he put himself in the shoes of... a certain wise king, he was shocked to realize that over the years, the child had been more patient than he was.
"I regret it now, but it's too late..." Thinking of this, His Majesty Li II couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then, he thought about it and finally said slowly: "Tell Li Jing that he wants to retire. He doesn't need to use you to speak. Let him submit a petition himself, and I will approve it!"
