"Several sects bordering us and the Tianhai Sword Sect may be harassed. Please ask the temple for details," Fakong said.
"With so many sects, I'm afraid..." Fawu hesitated.
Fakong said: "Junior brother, there are so many sects, but as long as you catch one sect and deal with it severely, it will create enough shock. This is almost like beating a snow wolf."
"In this way..." Fa Wu smiled: "I understand, just leave it to me!"
I was very happy to step into a first-class temple, but now there are many first-class temples in the temple, so it is no surprise.
Therefore, you can’t feel the rarity and glory of the first grade at all in the temple.
This time he had the opportunity to show his holiness in front of others. Even though he was good at Buddhism, he couldn't help but be eager to try it.
It is an innate nature to show one's holiness in front of others, and it is difficult to eradicate it.

Prince Yi's Mansion
back yard
King Yi Chuyun was pacing back and forth in the small pavilion with his hands behind his hands.
Zhu Song and Zhou Kun were sitting at the stone table.
Zhusong is like a green pine, his face is solemn, and he is getting stronger and thinner.
Zhou Kun, who was usually like Maitreya Buddha, stopped smiling and frowned.
"Have you come up with an idea?" Chu Yun hummed.
Zhu Song and Zhou Kun both shook their heads.
"Isn't there a way to achieve both ends?" Chu Yun stopped pacing, sat down at the stone table and sighed: "Will the good situation in front of us be ruined in one day?"
"Your Majesty, without you, everyone has no backbone," Zhu Song shook his head and said, "This is unavoidable."
Zhou Kun sighed: "The dragons are leaderless, Your Highness."
"Let Miao'er take my place?"
"It's different." Zhu Song shook his head: "No matter how wise and powerful the Crown Prince is, he is only the Crown Prince after all."
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Could it be that none of them can do it?"
"Your Majesty, looking at it now, I can only lie low and wait for you to come back, Your Majesty." Zhu Song said in a deep voice: "By that time, Your Majesty will definitely answer the question like a cloud, and win without hesitation."
"Hmph, I'm afraid that by then, I won't be of any use when I come back." Chu Yun said angrily, "They've all become the sixth child."
"..." Zhu Song and Zhou Kun were both silent.
This situation is extremely likely.
Without a leader, King Yi's faction may not be able to fight back and will be quickly disintegrated by King Ying and cannibalized one by one.
"Alas——!" Chu Yun slapped the table, sighed heavily, and looked in the direction of the Forbidden Palace, helpless and confused.
I really don’t understand what my father wants to do.
If you send yourself away, won't the entire court become Lao Liu's?
Could it be that what the father really cares about is Lao Liu? Does he want Lao Liu to succeed him?
Thinking of this, he felt really unwilling and restless, so he got up and walked around with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we can only find ways to reduce losses and retain the backbone. We can't take care of the rest." Zhu Song said in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid I can't even save my backbone." Zhou Kun shook his head.
Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty, actually this is not a bad thing."
Zhou Kun's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Old Zhu, what nonsense are you talking about, a good thing? What kind of good thing is this?"
Chu Yun stared at Zhu Song closely: "Mr. Zhu, what do you say?"
Zhu Song said: "We used to have a large number of people, but some were capable ministers, while others were mediocre and acted according to the prevailing circumstances. They easily caused trouble and ruined the prince's reputation."
Chu Yun nodded in agreement.
I was really tired of wiping their butts. According to my own temper, I would have kicked these guys out of the court and went back to my hometown to farm.
Zhu Song said: "Take advantage of this opportunity to send these people out and keep those truly capable ministers. Not only will it not hurt your muscles and bones, but it will also be streamlined and concise. Once the prince comes back, even if the momentum is not big, it will be powerful enough."
"Well, that's true." Chu Yun nodded.
Zhou Kun said: "If this is the case, don't send them away too easily. You should try your best to retain them but fail to keep them in the end. You can also involve the energy of the King of England and delay the time until you come back.
.”
"Come back?" Chu Yun sighed: "I don't know when I can come back."
"..." The two of them were silent again.
I really can’t guess when I will come back.
They have no idea how things will change in the future. They may come back in three to five years, or they may never come back.
Zhu Songdao: "As the saying goes, loyal ministers meet in a rough situation. Those who stay at this time are the ones who are truly worthy of the prince's trust. The big waves wash away all the sand and leave the real gold, which is not a bad thing."
Chu Yun sighed: "This is also a helpless move."
Zhou Kun felt that the situation in front of him was helpless. He was really helpless and there was not much he could do, so he changed the subject: "Your Majesty, what did Master Fakong say?"
"Master Fakong——?" Chu Yun shook his head: "Master Fakong helps me judge the bad luck, so he is doing his best to be benevolent and righteous."
Zhu Song shook his head.
He had originally persuaded Chu Yun to make good friends with Master Fakong and have more contact with him, but Chu Yun refused.
Chu Yun was worried about the emperor's attitude. He felt that since the emperor was far away from Fakong and not close to Fakong, he himself, the prince, should not be too close to Fakong, lest he would make the emperor unhappy and suffer a big loss for a small amount.
Zhu Song could only sigh secretly, the prince really underestimated the power of Fakong, which was sometimes irreplaceable and even reversed the situation.
Unfortunately, it is too late to burn incense and worship Buddha now.
Immediately he perked up.
No matter how late it is, it is better than not burning incense and worshiping Buddha.
"Your Majesty, it's better to get closer to Master Fakong." Zhu Song said softly: "At this time, I believe the emperor can understand."
Chu Yun sighed: "Mr. Zhu, it's not that I don't want to be friends with Master Fakong, it's that Master Fakong doesn't want to be friends with me."
Zhu Song said: "From Master Fakong's point of view, it is indeed a wise move to try to keep a distance from the prince and the prince of England, and not to get involved in the dynasty disputes."
"Master Fakong is such a shrewd person." Chu Yun hummed.
Zhou Kun said: "How about we go and get in touch with Master Fakong? Ask him about Buddhism?"
Zhu Song looked at him.
Zhou Kun chuckled and said, "I also have a brief understanding of the true meaning of Buddhism."
Zhu Song looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Kun said: "Old Zhu, I am not a freeloader."
He has been studying Buddhism intensively these days and has also consulted several eminent monks.
Zhu Song nodded: "I admire you."
This old Zhou can be considered a thoughtful person.
Chu Yun said: "It would be great if you could get close to Master Fakong. He can see some things in advance and speaking out will be of great help to us."
"That's right." Zhou Kun nodded hurriedly.
Zhu Song shook his head.
Zhou Kun glanced at him sideways: "Old Zhu, what weird things do you have to say?"
"What kind of person is Master Fakong? With such a utilitarian heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to get close to him." Zhu Song shook his head: "Don't waste your efforts."
Zhou Kun was startled.
Chu Yun frowned and nodded helplessly.
Master Fakong looks very gentle and has a good temper, but he has a high-spirited character.
Let’s see how many people can really get close to him?
"Old Zhu," Zhou Kun hummed, "I went to the Vajra Temple, is it possible that Master Fakong will chase me away?"
Zhu Songdao: "Master Fakong will avoid you."
Zhou Kun scratched his head.
Zhu Song said: "First get rid of the utilitarian heart before you can hope to get close to Master Fakong. In my opinion, this matter cannot be rushed. Take your time and get familiar with it first."
"Well, let's figure this out slowly." Chu Yun nodded.
Zhu Song pondered for a moment and said softly: "Your Majesty, actually we have forgotten the most important thing."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Kun asked hurriedly.
Zhu Song glanced around.
Zhou Kun got up, walked around the pavilion, and came back again.
Zhu Song lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, that position... is actually not decided by the power of the court, but by the emperor, and it is decided with one word."
Chu Yun was thoughtful and quite touched.
Zhou Kun nodded in agreement.
Chu Yun got up and walked around, faster and faster, his spirit became more and more high-spirited, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
He sat back at the table and said with a smile: "It was not Mr. Zhu who reminded me, but we have indeed fallen into misunderstandings without realizing it."
He sighed with emotion: "As expected of Mr. Zhu, he sees things clearly."
Zhu Song hugged his fists and said nothing more.
Chu Yun sighed with emotion: "That's true. In the final analysis, it's my father's words, not anything else."
He then chuckled and said: "What if everyone is taken away by Lao Liu? It's just a good time to see who is truly loyal!"
Even if all the power in the court is taken away by Lao Liu, his father can inherit the throne with just one word. No matter how strong Lao Liu is, he can only stare blankly.
The most obedient person in the army is Lao Jiu, and Lao Jiu only listens to his father, so no matter how powerful Lao Liu is in the court, it cannot affect his taking over the throne.
As long as you do things well, as long as you can come back safely, you will sit in that position!
His haze was gone and he felt relaxed all over.
"My lord, there is one more urgent matter." Zhu Song said, "That is to select guards."
Chu Yun looked solemn.
He had indeed been thinking about it.
"You must be very careful when selecting your bodyguards," Zhu Song said.
This matter is the most important.
This matter is much more important than the ownership of power in the court. It is related to life and death. Once a person dies, nothing can be mentioned.
Zhou Kun said: "Others can't believe it, so let's transfer people from our house."
Zhu Song shook his head: "Not enough."
This time the guards need to be strong enough to resist the assassination.
"There are ninety-eight places for attendants." Chu Yun said solemnly: "Except for a dozen attendants, the rest are probably guards."
"Then choose eighty guards?" Zhu Song said.
Chu Yun nodded slowly.
Zhou Kun said: "Your Majesty, I think you don't need so many guards. It's better to bring more of other talents. I'll go with Your Majesty."
Chu Yun frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou, you'd better stay. I don't need to do anything there, but things here are very important."
As a proton, what I have to do in Tianjing is to eat and drink, don't get into trouble, protect myself, and just stay there for as long as I can.
They don't need to make suggestions.
Zhu Song said: "Your Majesty, let Lao Zhou go there. The situation over there really needs someone to deal with it, and it may not be easy."
Zhou Kun nodded vigorously.
Chu Yun groaned.
Zhou Kun said: "Your Majesty, I think we can ask Lord Xin to call in some guards. The rest are the guards from our own palace. The rest of the Southern Supervision Department, the Green Clothes Department and the Shenwu Palace cannot be trusted."
Afraid that Prince Ying would take a risk, he had an assassin disguised as Dayun assassinate the Prince.
In a foreign country, investigation is not that easy. If no flaws can be found, who can compete with him for the throne?
Therefore, we must be on guard against being bribed by the British Prince, or even being bribed by the British Prince.
Chu Yun nodded slowly: "Well, I will tell Lao Jiu."
"It would be best if we could find a few people from the Vajra Temple to worship." Zhou Kun sighed.
Zhu Song shook his head.
According to Master Fakong's temperament, how could he possibly agree?
But Chu Yun perked up and said, "I'm going to beg my father!"
——
The bright sunshine in the morning shines on the outer courtyard of Vajra Temple.
After Fa Kong finished his stroll, while he was studying in the Sutra Pavilion, Chu Ling ran in and told him the news. The emperor asked the Vajra Temple to send four great masters to serve as Chu Yun's guards.
Fakong looked at Chu Ling in surprise, doubting whether what she said was true or false.
