"Xiang'er, if I didn't remind you just now, would you be planning to reject Kou Ji?"

The older woman asked, staring at He Xiangu who was playing the piano in the elegant hall.

He Xiangu, who was playing the piano, heard the woman's words and her face straightened, "Master, didn't you say that Kou Ji is not a good person and you should be cautious when dealing with Kou Ji?"

The older woman nodded and said: "Kou Ji is indeed not a good person. This time Kou Ji asked the emperor to ask me to become a monk and offer him the method of longevity. I am afraid it is not just as simple as trying to make some money.

It is very possible that they want to take this opportunity to blackmail or severely damage our Taoist family."

He Xiangu, who was playing the piano, or He Xiang to be precise, frowned, "If that's the case, why do you still agree?"

The older woman smiled lightly and looked at He Qiong beside her.

He Qiong said solemnly: "Whether he wants class blackmail or takes the opportunity to severely damage our Taoism, it is based on the fact that the emperor will not be obsessed with longevity and longevity.

He must have talked to the emperor and confirmed that the emperor would not be obsessed with immortality and longevity.

That’s why he made such a suggestion.”

He Xiang said in confusion: "Since we already know that the emperor will not be obsessed with immortality and longevity, why do we still offer immortality and longevity?"

He Qiong was speechless.

The older woman chuckled and said: "Almost no emperor can avoid the temptation of longevity and the method of longevity. Zhao Zhen is still young and is not worried about the depletion of longevity, so he is true to the method of longevity and longevity.

By color.

But what if Zhao Zhen gets old?

Will he still ignore the method of immortality and longevity?

Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han, such wise emperors, were not obsessed with immortality and the method of longevity in the end.

So what if Zhao Zhen is better than them?"

He Xiang frowned and said nothing.

The older woman sighed, "You are still young. When you grow up, you will understand."

Seeing that his silly sister was still frowning, He Qiong couldn't help but say a few words, "Now that we have offered the method of longevity, Zhao Zhen may not fake it.

But once Zhao Zhen gets old, he will definitely become obsessed with it.

If we offer the magic of longevity now, we may be blackmailed.

But when Zhao Zhen gets old and becomes obsessed with the method of longevity, that will be the day when my Taoism rises again."

He Xiang hesitated and said: "But every family has offered the method of longevity. Why should the emperor believe ours and not others'?"

He Qiong looked at the older woman.

The older woman hesitated for a moment and then said frankly: "So in addition to offering the magic of longevity, we will also offer beauties. The palace will soon select a maiden, and your sister will also participate in the election.

With your sister's beauty and knowledge, she will definitely stand out."

He Xiang's eyes widened in shock, "Sister wants to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

The older woman nodded, "Not only will she enter the palace as a concubine, but you'd better also enter the bandit's house as a concubine. Once your sister gives birth to a prince, you can also help."

He Xiang's eyes widened even more in an instant.

The older woman said quietly: "When the time comes, the Dao Lord will be the emperor, and the emperor will be the Dao Lord. Who can touch my Taoism?"

Whether the method of longevity is true or false, the elderly woman knows it well.

After all, it is not a long-term solution to bewitch the emperor with the promise of longevity.

Only by turning emperors into Taoist kings can Taoism continue to prosper.

The older woman can be said to have far-reaching plans.

Kou Ji didn't know that others had added a new layer of calculations to his calculations.

After he returned to his house, he sat there and waited for the monks to offer him the method of longevity.

Folk rumors also took a new turn at this time.

Buddhism and Taoism have many methods of longevity. The news that Buddhism has 16 treasure places, along with the rumors of Buddhist walks, spread quickly throughout the world.

After the news spread that the Buddhist family had sixteen treasure hiding places, each of which was worth no less than 10 million guan.

The first people to be tempted are not the rogues and thieves.

The first one to be tempted was Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen got the news, he immediately summoned Kou Ji into the palace.

Inside the Ningxiang Hall.

Zhao Run was sitting at the desk in the hall, holding a brush and learning to write meticulously. Chen Lin was waiting on her side carefully.

Zhao Zhen and Kou Ji occupied the palace very domineeringly.

Each person holds a bottle of ice wine, with other fruits and an ice plate in front of him.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of ice wine and exhaled happily, "Fourth Brother, there are really sixteen treasure hiding places in Buddhism? The value of each treasure hiding place is no less than 10 million yuan?"

Kou Ji took a bite of the cantaloupe and said, "No one can say for sure about Buddhist matters."

After saying this, Kou Ji looked at Zhao Zhen and said with a smile: "Is the official concerned about that money?"

Zhao Zhen said bluntly: "How could I not care about it? That is 160 million yuan. If I get that money, I can immediately promote county schools."

Kou Ji nodded slightly and said: "That's right...for the imperial court, that is an unexpected fortune."

Zhao Zhen stared at Kou Ji and said, "What I want to know most right now is whether you, fourth brother, released those messages?"

Kou Ji decisively denied, "How is it possible? Why would the officials doubt the ministers?"

Kou Ji actually wanted to tell the truth to Zhao Zhen, but he sent Cao Li to handle the matter.

Once Kou Ji admits this, Cao Li will be caught if he leaks any tricks when he is acting in the south.

By then, the news that Cao Lili is still alive and has done many things in the south will be revealed.

Once Cao Liang is exposed, can Kou Ji recover?

Zhao Zhen said frankly: "I remember that people from the Buddhist family just plotted against Fourth Brother. With Fourth Brother's temperament, I definitely can't swallow this feeling in my heart, even if I don't plot against them."

Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "After all, I am also a Privy Council envoy. Is it shameless for me to argue with a group of monks?"

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Not everyone can shout out that 160 million strings."

Kou Ji instantly understood the meaning of Zhao Zhen's words.

There is something to say.

It's called poverty that limits people's imagination.

In today's Song Dynasty, there are only two places with wealth worth tens of millions.

One is the treasury, and the other is Yizijiaozipu.

The wealth owned by Yizijiaozipu and the national treasury is all national wealth.

No one in private has ever owned a fortune of ten million yuan.

Therefore, people's general thinking is still at the level of tens of millions.

Therefore, even if someone spreads a rumor, at most it will cost tens of millions of dollars to make the rumor.

I'm afraid only a few people in the central position can use 160 million yuan to talk things out.

The Buddhists have never offended Zhao Zhen or Lu Yijian.

Even if they were offended, they wouldn't be able to send someone to spread such rumors.

Therefore, it is normal for Zhao Zhen to suspect Kou Ji.

Kou Ji guessed why Zhao Zhen doubted him, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Since not everyone can shout out 160 million guan. Doesn't it just prove that the 160 million guan of money may be real?"

existence?"

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, stared at Kou Ji and said, "You really didn't spread it, Fourth Brother?"

Kou Jizheng said seriously: "This is a critical moment for the reform of the official system. How could I spread such rumors that shake people's hearts?"

Zhao Zhen muttered: "That's true..."

Zhao Zhen looked at Kou Ji again and said in a deep voice: "Since it is possible that those 160 million strings really exist, then I should send someone to check."

"Ahem..."

Kou Ji coughed dryly and said: "Buddhism has been accumulated for thousands of years, and it still has some foundation. But 160 million strings is a bit exaggerated. Officials should not have high expectations, let alone waste too many manpower on this matter.

.

If there is really a hidden treasure in the Buddhist family, the officials do not need to personally send people to find it.

Just instruct local governments to pay attention to this matter.

Once someone discovers the Buddhist treasures, there will definitely be flaws.

The officials only need to instruct the local government to destroy the treasures after those people have dug them up, and then get the treasures back."
