"This war can't be fought because that Xixia envoy is talking nonsense. I guess Long Chengen went out for fun and will be back in a few days."
Gongsun Yun originally thought that these words would calm Gongsun Linglong, but he didn't expect Gongsun Linglong to become even more irritable. He cursed: "This damn eunuch comes to me during the war and doesn't take me with him when we go out to play. How can this be unreasonable? I'm going to find him!"
Having lost his equipment, Gongsun Linglong took nothing with him and rode out to look for Long Chen.
"Sir, it looks like my little master."
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, Gongsun Yun said with a dark face: "I'm just a eunuch, what can I do?"
Take refuge in the temple.
A young novice monk entered the abbot's room, where Mojie was dictating scriptures.
Some of these scriptures were written by Long Chen, and some were discussed with Long Chen on the carriage.
"Abbott, I just received news that because the empress refused to let the abbot return to Xixia, the special envoy declared war on the court."
"Now, Dazhu Kingdom has led his generals to go on an expedition."
Mojie put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said, "What? Is there a war?"
Mojie's mind was in turmoil, but then calmed down quickly.
"I originally wanted to preach Buddhism and save sentient beings from suffering, but I didn't expect that I would drag them into war."
"I, the Buddha, are so merciful. How can I cause death to all living beings just because of me?"
Mojie went out immediately, planning to return to Xixia with the special envoy.
When I walked to the door, I saw Zhe'er coming over and said: "Master, the general ordered me to send a message saying that Xixia and Zhou Dynasty will not go to war. This is just nonsense from the special envoy. Master, you can study Buddhism with peace of mind and don't worry about worldly matters."
For the sake of thinking.”
Mojie found it incredible that the special envoy would talk such nonsense.
However, Mojie believed in Long Chen. Since Long Chen said he would not start a war, he would not start a war.
"Thank you, General. The benefactor is in good hands."
Mojie immediately turned around and went back to his room to continue writing scriptures silently.
At this time, Mojie's mind was like water and he could calm down immediately.
Waterfront villa.
Zhou Zheng is holding a long Ji Ba was lying on a wicker chair with a long fishing rod, and Mei Ji was waiting beside him.
"We have to put a long line to catch big fish. There haven't been big fish for a long time."
Ji Ba's tone was a little disappointed, but also a little happy to see Xun Xin.
"Zhou Zheng, do you think it would be interesting to raise a fish and then catch it?"
Zhou Zheng held the bamboo pole, looked straight at it, and replied: "It is very interesting to shape it with your own hands and then destroy it with your own hands."
Ji is a domineering and beautiful girl who never leaves her side, and likes to express her sexuality on various occasions. As a personal follower, Zhou Zheng has a basic skill of not squinting.
Ji Ba played with Mei Ji and said with a smile: "Well said, fishing for some small fish and shrimps is not interesting, catching big fish is interesting."
"If there are no big fish in the river, then raise a big fish and then fish again."
Zhou Zheng thought to himself: Fishing is fun, but I am afraid that the fish will grow too fast and eventually become unable to be caught, and it will drag people into the water and drown them.
Hong Qi hurried over and said anxiously: "President, today the Xixia special envoy Ma Yuan openly declared war in the court. The empress accepted the fight. Long Chengen and Emperor Lingyi have led the generals to Jade Buddha Pass. The Ministry of War is recruiting troops.
.”
Ji Ba suddenly stood up from the wicker chair and said angrily: "Without my permission, Xixia dares to declare war! What's going on!"
Hong Qi was also confused and said: "It seems that Ma Yuan made his own decision. The deputy envoy has already sent a message back to the Xixia Palace by flying an eagle."
Ji Ba thought about it briefly and realized that there was something wrong with it.
"That's it. That special envoy made his own decision. This war can't be fought. Don't worry about him."
"Long Chengen is not going to war, he should be enjoying the beauty of the third princess somewhere. He is envious of others."
Although Ji Ba, as the president of the Tianxia Association, can control the power of the world, there are some things and people that he cannot get.
For example, he could only covet the empress's princess.
"Good morning, President."
Hong Qi guessed wrong again.
Xixia Palace.
Ma Fang received the letter from Feiying and immediately entered the harem. Shi Le had just finished entertaining the envoys from the Uz Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Ma Yuan's letter has arrived."
Shi Le opened the letter, his face suddenly changed, and he cursed: "What does this Ma Yuan want to do? Rebellion!"
Ma Fang didn't know why Shi Le was suddenly furious, and asked, "What treason did Ma Yuan do?"
Shi Le cursed: "He actually declared war on the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the name of my king!"
Ma Fang felt like her brain was exploding. Ma Yuan actually declared war?
"Call the Imperial Master over!"
Shi Le walked towards the main hall angrily, and Ma Fang immediately summoned Monk Kongji to discuss the matter.
When Ma Fang arrived at Zhaoti Temple, Monk Kongji had just returned.
"Master, the king has asked you to come over to discuss matters."
Kong Ji had just sent away the high priest of Us, but his junior brother, monk Deshan, had not returned yet.
"What happened? Are you in such a hurry?"
Ma Fang was so anxious that she said, "Let's talk as we walk."
The two walked towards the palace. Ma Fang explained the cause and effect. Monk Kongji was suddenly shocked: "How dare this Ma Yuan do this?"
Ma Fang said: "That's why the king asked the national advisor to discuss matters urgently."
The two entered the main hall, and the crown prince Shi Haoran had already arrived.
"Kings."
"Ma Yuan made his own decision and actually declared war on the empress."
Monk Kongji looked sad and said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk suggested that Ma Yuan be recalled immediately and a special envoy be sent to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty instead."
Shi Le was in a dilemma: "But if we send another special envoy, it will tell the whole world that I dare not go to war with the empress."
"Then what will be the prestige of our country in Xixia from now on? Doesn't the Eastern Zhou Dynasty want to despise me?"
Shi Le didn't want to go to war with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't afford to lose face, so he was in a dilemma.
Shi Haoran said: "Father, I have trained many soldiers in Daxia. Years ago, the military strength was no worse than that of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If the empress wants to fight, then let’s fight!”
Shi Le did not answer, and Kong Ji said: "Your Majesty, you must not be reckless. If the two countries are going to full-scale war, you need to mobilize troops and prepare supplies. After several wars, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has trained a group of elite soldiers and generals, but I, Daxia, are not ready yet."
"If we start a war rashly, I'm afraid the war will be detrimental to us."
Kong Ji cannot be said to be cowardly, this will only make the prince even more angry.
Shi Haoran is a person with a fiery personality. It cannot be said that he is a coward. It can only be said that the conditions are not met.
"So what, let's fight first and then talk!"
After Shi Haoran heard that Mojie had been abducted, he kept clamoring to teach Long Chen a lesson.
"What the Imperial Master said makes sense, but if you admit defeat, you can't think of other ways."
Shi Le neither wanted to start a war, nor did he want to give in.
Monk Kongji said: "The only way is to find someone to mediate."
Shi Le asked: "What do you mean by the national master, please ask the world to come forward?"
Monk Kongji nodded and said: "We have a good relationship with the Tianxiahui, and Long Chengen has a good relationship with the Tianxiahui. It would be best to ask the Tianxiahui to mediate, and Dongzhou should be able to sell face."
Tianxiahui has a good relationship with both parties, and Tianxiahui is powerful. It is expected that Dongzhou would not dare not agree.
Shi Le nodded and said: "Okay, the Imperial Master will make arrangements."
Kong Ji left the palace and immediately walked to the northwest corner of Xingqing City.
Shi Le then asked Shi Haoran to find Monk Deshan, and asked the two of them to return to Zhenguo Temple immediately to prevent a surprise attack on Jade Buddha Pass.
A splendid high-rise building, with business cars and horses coming in and out, and more believers than Zhaoti Temple offering incense, is the Foyuan Building, the branch of Tianxiahui in Xixia.
When Monk Kongji walked into Foyuan Building, he saw a statue of the Buddha who had taken refuge in the Buddha. This is the characteristic of Foyuan Building.
"National Master? Why didn't you say something first when you came here? You are missing the mark."
A middle-aged man wearing khaki cloth came out to welcome him.
This man is very tall, with a round waist and abdomen, but also a naturally smiling face. He is Situ Jing, the owner of Foyuan Building.
