819. Willing to Use the Head of the Project as a Guarantee
Master Huiqing looked extremely calm from beginning to end. Hearing the words, he just chanted the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, what the poor monk says is true. If the emperor does not listen to what the poor monk says, Zhuozhou will suffer a great disaster within a month."
.”
"Hmph! I want to see if you can still be as arrogant as you are now in a month." Dongfang Chen sneered, and then said loudly, "Here, take Master Huiqing down and throw him into the prison.
If there is no earthquake in Zhuozhou within a month, he will be executed in Lingchi."
More than a dozen forest guards ran in from outside the main hall, took Master Huiqing into custody and walked out. Master Huiqing did not resist, calmly twisting his beads and letting them pull him out.
On the side, Master Huiyuan, who had been silent and chanting sutras silently with his head lowered, raised his eyes and saw Master Huiqing being pulled down, with a flash of worry in his eyes.
"The Lord Protector listens!" Dongfang Chen turned to Yuwendong who was kneeling below.
"I listen to the order!" the Protector of the Country responded respectfully.
"I will give you Shang Fang's sword, make you an imperial envoy, and assign you a thousand imperial guards. Tomorrow, you and your family will set off immediately to Zhuozhou to help me defend Zhuozhou. If someone is interested in causing chaos in Zhuozhou, I allow you to kill them first and then report them.
Dongfang Chen said with a cold face.
"Yes, I obey." Yu Wendong responded sonorously.
Yuwendong was extremely excited. One month later, the Yuwen family would be proud and proud, and those sworn enemies of the Yuwen family would die without a burial place. From now on, there would be no other family like the Yuwen family.
"Brother Emperor, this is inappropriate. Human life is at stake, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are at stake, so there is no way to be careless. What if what Master Huiqing said is true? What if the protector of the country heard it wrong?
?" Dongfang Chen looked at Dongfang Chen and insisted.
"Then according to the thirteenth brother's opinion, what should we do?" Dongfang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Dongfang Xu lightly.
"My brother suggested that Master Huiqing's prophecy and the Lord Protector's guarantee be made public, so that those who are willing to believe in Master Huiqing can leave. Of course, we will not force those who are willing to believe that Lord Protector chooses to stay. In the future, even if something happens
Anything can be done to reduce losses, and the most important thing is to reduce public resentment." Dongfang Xu said politely.
Dongfang Chen raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "After all, is the thirteenth brother just standing on the side of Master Huiqing?"
"Yes. Brother Chen believes in Master Huiqing's character." Dongfang Xu said sonorously.
"Moving so many people is not a trivial matter. The loss of property is a trivial matter. If you don't do it right, riots and deaths will occur. Thirteenth brother, what guarantee can you give me that I will agree to your proposal?"
Dongfang Xu was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and knelt down, "My brother is also willing to issue a military order. If it turns out that I am wrong, I am willing to give my head and the land under my jurisdiction to my brother.
As long as the emperor agrees with my brother to prevent the people of Zhuozhou who are willing to leave from leaving, I also ask the emperor to hand over this task to my brother."
All the ministers were shocked and their expressions began to waver.
Dongfang Chen looked at the expressions of the ministers below and his teeth itched with hatred.
Dongfang Xu, you can win people's hearts, right? I will let you die when the time comes and take back all your land. If you regret it then, I will be considered a master.
"Okay, I promise you." Dongfang Chen said calmly, "In a moment, I will write a decree to ask Zhuozhou officials to cooperate with you. Tomorrow, you can leave with the Protector."
