Chu Ling said: "Do you really want to tell your father that?"
Fa Kong nodded lightly.
Chu Ling said: "Will Father believe it? Emperor Dayun bribed you? Doesn't he want to kill you?"
Fa Kong said gently: "What if you can't kill me?"
Chu Ling looked him up and down.
Fakong said: "I'm not that easy to kill."
"...Also..." Chu Ling thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I will tell my father directly?"
She thought about it quickly.
It seems that Fa Kong is really difficult to kill.
Emperor Dayun has sent top experts to assassinate him more than twice, but failed to do so. Instead, he lost his wife and lost his troops.
She had long heard Xu Qingluo talk about these two assassinations.
One time, he directly turned the eight elders of Duntian Pavilion into his own, converted to their disciples, and entered the Daxue Mountain Vajra Temple.
The other time was Zhuo Lixing, a master of Feijian Pavilion, who was also killed by him but luckily escaped with his life.
The masters in these two times were obviously top masters who surpassed Dayun, but their efforts were in vain.
So it’s difficult to kill Fa Kong!
Emperor Dayun realized that he couldn't be killed, so he changed his mind. Instead of killing him, he might as well keep him for his own use and strengthen himself.
It is not unexpected for an emperor to endure the conflict of spirits and choose what is best for the country, the country, and the country.
If it were my father, he would probably do the same thing.
Fakong said: "Let me report this to the Emperor first, so as not to cause the Emperor to misunderstand me and really think that I want to take refuge in Dayun."
"How is that possible!" Chu Ling laughed.
No matter how hard it is, Fakong will never be able to seek refuge in Dayun. The Vajra Temple is in Daqian and its roots are in Daqian.
Although his father was wary and fearful of him, which might make him very uncomfortable, even he felt uncomfortable watching it from the sidelines.
There is such a powerful person, but if you don't win over him properly, you have to guard him like a thief all the time, which is very sad.
But even if Fakong defected to Dayun, Dayun would be wary of him and would not dare to use him with confidence.
Dayun would think: Since I can change the court once, why can’t I change the court a second time?
Since they are all feared and guarded, why should they seek refuge in Dayun?
Fakong smiled and said: "You think it's impossible, but the emperor may not think so. It's better to say it in advance to avoid misunderstanding... Dayun's bribery is fake, but the estrangement is real. I'm afraid the emperor will be fooled."
"...Father is not so easily fooled." Chu Ling's tone was weak.
My father is wise and powerful, so logically he shouldn't be fooled like this, but... my father is too suspicious, and once he becomes suspicious, he will easily become suspicious.
Especially since he has always been so wary of Fa Kong, he is even more heartbroken.
Fakong said: "Go and tell the emperor."
Chu Ling hummed: "Actually, you can just tell Father directly. Father believes what you say."
Fa Kong smiled.
Chu Ling rolled her eyes at him: "I'll just go and tell my father."
She turned around and left lightly.
Fakong narrowed his eyes slightly and followed Chu Ling from a distance, watching her leave the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple and walk through the alleys lightly and nimbly.
There were eight palace secret guards around her, the closest one was about ten feet away from her, and the farthest one was a hundred meters away, forming two layers of guards, seemingly loose and tight.
Chu Ling drifted to the palace, feeling like she was in a deserted place.
The palace gates are just like gateways, which are useless to her.
The guards and chamberlains guarding the door all saluted with clasped fists and would not ask her for a badge or anything like that.
For her, the palace is her home.
She went straight to the outside of a large hall and said to the middle-aged chamberlain guarding the hall: "Mr. Jiao, I want to see my father."
Jiao Quan, the general manager of Xuanwen Hall, smiled and said: "The emperor is reviewing the memorial. He just lost his temper. Your Highness, please wait a moment."
Chu Ling snorted: "Who made father angry again? Let me see."
Without waiting for Jiao Quan to speak again, she climbed up the steps, opened the curtain, entered the hall, and came to Chu Xiong who was immersed in reviewing the memorial.
On the wall to the north of the main hall hangs a map of mountains and rivers, with dots of red and green symbols on it.
There is a long pavilion table under the "Country and Mountains Ten Thousand Miles" map, and there are five piles of memorials piled high on the table.
Chu Xiong was burying his head in these five piles of memorials, and his body was covered by the memorials.
There were three memorials lying on the carpet next to the table, all crooked and messy.
Chu Ling came to his side and coughed lightly: "Father."
Chu Xiong raised his head with a livid face, his eyes were blazing like torches, and when he saw it was her, he quickly lost his anger and smiled: "Why are you here? Aren't you on duty at Prince Ming's Mansion?"
"We have changed the value again, Father." Chu Ling said dissatisfied: "We changed it two days ago, and I told you!"
Chu Xiong looked embarrassed: "It seems that my father is old and has a bad memory."
"Father, it's not that you have a bad memory, it's just that you didn't take it to heart at all." Chu Ling said angrily: "I think about big things in the court every day, how can I worry about such a trivial matter."
She was smiling when she spoke.
Chu Xiong really couldn't tell whether she was sarcastic or sincerely appreciated, so he smiled and said, "You came over at this time, but you have something to do?"
"I was ordered to deliver the news." Chu Ling said with a smile: "Fakong said that Emperor Dayun failed to assassinate him, so he wanted to bribe him instead."
"How to bribe?" Chu Xiong frowned.
He knew that Emperor Dayun assassinated Fa Kong.
It's just that it was too late when I found out. The assassination had already been completed, and it was useless to send people over to help.
He is still very concerned about Fakong's safety. After all, he has magical powers and can do things that others cannot. He is a rare talent.
Chu Ling shook his head: "I didn't say, father, if you were Emperor Dayun, how would you bribe him?"
"Buy him..." Chu Xiong raised his head and looked at the caisson of the main hall.
My eyes wandered over the complicated and gorgeous caisson, and I fell into deep thought.
Chu Ling moved Xiudun over from the side and sat down next to the table. She supported the table with her elbows and looked at him with her pretty chin.
Chu Xiong came back to his senses, saw her like this, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, if you were Emperor Dayun, what would you do?"
"Me?" Chu Ling straightened his back and said with a smile: "I will let him build a temple in Yunjing, just like the one in Tianjing."
Chu Xiong raised his eyebrows.
Chu Ling said: "Fakong lacks nothing, neither money nor martial arts secrets, let alone women, what is the most important thing?... Dayong asked him to help him at the beginning, and he used a temple.
That’s right, they must have studied his preferences before settling on him. He just likes temples.”
"Temple..." Chu Xiong nodded, then shook his head: "Jingang Villa?"
"Jingang Temple is not his temple, right?" Chu Ling said: "That is where he placed his converted disciples, and they are all women. He cannot live there forever. It is estimated that Emperor Dayun will give him another temple.
, is bigger than the Vajra Temple, even bigger than the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple here."
"Will he agree?" Chu Xiong asked.
Chu Ling said: "This advantage is not for nothing. He has supernatural powers. When he sees something bad, he will get away immediately. Even Emperor Dayun has no good intentions, so he is not afraid, so why should he refuse?"
Chu Xiong frowned.
He felt vaguely uncomfortable.
There is a feeling that one's own things are going to be snatched away by others. More importantly, Fakong's attitude is difficult to understand.
Fakong must have been helping Da Gan before, and he was single-minded and had no other thoughts.
But things are different now.
Not to mention Dayong, he has been wooing him, but he has half-heartedly accepted it. The Yongkong Temple is the proof.
Dayun also began to win over him now.
As Fa Kong, why do you have to devote yourself to Da Gan now? As long as the bowl of water is level, no one will be offended.
If we say that in the past, the Vajra Temple was still used as a handle. The Vajra Temple was under the rule of Da Gan, and Fa Kong had to take into account the imperial court's actions against the Vajra Temple.
Then there is no such scruple now.
On the contrary, Da Gan did not dare to move or take any drastic action against the Vajra Temple. Otherwise, Fa Kong would be completely pushed to the side of Dayun and Dayong, resulting in huge losses.
Dayun couldn't assassinate Fakong, what about himself?
He closed his eyes and recalled the situation when he saw Fakong.
Fa Kong's entry is incredible and beyond imagination.
Although my current state can suppress him, I am not sure of killing him. The key is that he has magical powers.
After a while, I'm afraid the realm may not be able to suppress him. At that time, it will depend on his face.
Thinking of this, his face darkened.
Sensing his bad mood, Chu Ling hurriedly said: "Father, how about letting Fakong refuse Dayun's kindness?"
She added: "I think what he means is that he wants to pretend to accept Dayun's wooing, and then turn over the water at the critical moment and take Dayun away in one fell swoop."
She guessed Fakong's intention of letting her come back to report to the emperor.
Chu Xiong said in a deep voice: "Will Fakong assassinate Emperor Dayun?"
Chu Ling thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Father, I don't think so. Emperor Dayun has no intention of killing him anymore and no longer poses a threat. What's more, he didn't suffer at all from the first two assassinations. Take revenge." I won’t assassinate Emperor Dayun, maybe I’ll use other methods.”
"any solution?"
"Let's plot against him, or use our Daqian experts to cause trouble for Dayun."
"Well..." Chu Xiong nodded: "I understand."
"Father, then...?"
"Let him figure it out." Chu Xiong said.
Chu Ling was puzzled.
Chu Xiong waved his hands and sighed: "I understand."
"...Okay, Father, shall I go then?"
Chu Ling was extremely puzzled, but seeing that Chu Xiong was in a low mood, he obviously had no intention of explaining, so he didn't ask any more questions.
She was able to please Chu Xiong, and among the many princes and princes, she was the favorite, not only because of her illness, but also because of her simplicity, and most importantly, because of her sensitivity.
This kind of sensitivity makes her very aware of propriety, knowing when to be bold and when to be well-behaved.
This is not something you think about, but a natural instinct.
Chu Xiong waved his hands lazily.
Chu Ling became more and more confused. After returning to the outer courtyard of Jingang Temple and talking to Fakong, he went to Xu Qingluo and expressed his doubts.
She knew that Xu Qingluo had the ability to see into the subtleties of people's hearts and could see into a person's bones, so she was best suited to solve this mystery.
The place where the two of them are is Nantian Peak.
Standing on the top of the peak, facing the breeze, Chu Ling expressed her doubts and asked Xu Qingluo to explain them.
After Xu Qingluo listened carefully, she smiled and said, "This is a good thing."
Chu Ling perked up.
Xu Qingluo said: "The emperor has completely understood the current situation."
Chu Ling was puzzled.
Xu Qingluo said: "Even if the master really agrees, the emperor can't do anything about it. Of course, if the master pretends to agree, that would be the best. But no matter what, the emperor has nothing to do with the master. This makes him unable to do anything about it."
It’s comfortable.”
Chu Ling snorted: "Qingluo, you are very proud!"
Xu Qingluo smiled openly and said: "This is a good thing. It is good for both the emperor and the master. It is gratifying and congratulatory!"
