Di Yuwei was worried that after Di Luoxi got help from Long Chen, the empress would be biased towards Di Luoxi.
"The Holy One has always asked the eldest princess to assist in the affairs of the government, so there should be no problem."
"Besides, the fourth princess has never been interested in government affairs, so the eldest princess doesn't have to worry too much."
He Ningxin knew Di Luoxi's character and liked fighting and Long Chen. As for the throne, Di Luoxi was not very interested.
Di Yu shook his head slightly and sighed and said: "So what if the fourth sister is not interested? Long Chengen is so powerful. Waiting for my mother...who dares to disobey the ministers in the court? Can I suppress Long Chengen?"
The empress was still there, so Long Chen didn't dare.
Once the empress dies, who will be Long Chen's opponent?
This is what Di Yuwei must worry about.
Even if Emperor Yuwei ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, Long Chen will still have a serious problem.
"Princess, if this is the case..."
He Ningxin originally had an affair with Long Chen, but now that it was involved in a political struggle, she naturally sided with Di Yuwei.
She wanted to say that in this case, she should take action to eradicate Long Chen as soon as possible.
But...who dares to do this!
Jing Tianlie, Tianxiahui, Li Chengdao... Anyone who goes against Long Chen will be miserable.
"Let's see again."
Di Yuwei did not dare to have any unfavorable thoughts towards Long Chen, it was very dangerous to think so.
He Ningxin sighed, there was nothing he could do.
....
When Di Yuwei was feeling worried, Di Lingyi was also jealous in Beigong.
Wen Shuzhen reported the marriage proposal to Emperor Lingyi, and also specifically told Long Chen about Xixia as a betrothal gift.
After listening to this, Emperor Lingyi's stomach was filled with jealousy.
"Princess, actually...after all, King Wu is from the Fourth Princess's place."
"It is understandable that the Holy Spirit granted marriage to the fourth princess."
Wen Shuzhen didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only talk a little bit.
Emperor Lingyi shook his head and said: "My mother granted me a marriage, and I have nothing to be jealous of."
"But Long Chengen actually used this great gift from Xixia to marry his fourth sister. I...I'm so jealous! I'm so angry!"
As he talked, Di Lingyi went crazy.
Wen Shuzhen thought for a moment and said, "Princess, King Wu is actually very kind to you."
"Didn't he pacify the grassland for the princess and kill Yeluhong?"
"Looking at it this way, King Wu is actually quite good to the princess."
Wen Shuzhen couldn't think of any other excuse and could only use such words to coax Emperor Lingyi.
"It seems so. Destroying Yeluhong is almost the same as destroying Xixia."
Emperor Lingyi comforted himself.
Wen Shuzhen added: "Besides, King Wu has already destroyed Yeluhong."
"But Xixia is not certain yet. What if Xixia cannot be destroyed, then the marriage of the fourth princess..."
Di Lingyi shook his head and said: "Don't worry, if Long Chengen dares to say this, he will definitely be able to do it!"
Di Lingyi knew Long Chen very well. She knew how powerful Long Chen was and was definitely not a braggart.
Wen Shuzhen smiled and said nothing more.
....
Gongsun Yun's proposal of marriage to the empress spread quickly throughout the capital, and the news of Xixia as a gift spread throughout the streets.
Everyone is talking about this.
Some people thought Long Chen was bragging, but more people knew it was definitely true.
This is the betrothal gift for the princess's wedding, it cannot be fake.
The news soon reached Xixia and Nanliang.
....
Xixia, Xingqing City.
In Zhaoti Temple, Monk Kongji frowned as he took the secret report from Zhenguo Temple.
Monk Deshan sent back a secret report from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, saying that Long Chen had turned back into a man and proposed marriage to the empress using Xixia as a betrothal gift.
"Here he is after all."
Monk Kongji sighed.
Putting the secret report carefully in his sleeve, Monk Kongji stood up and left the abbot's room.
When I walked to the front yard, I met my senior brother Pu Xuan.
"Junior brother."
"Senior brother."
"Junior brother is going to the palace?"
"Yes, there is news from Deshan. I want to talk to the king."
After hearing the letter from Monk Deshan, Pu Xuan guessed that it was related to Long Chen.
"That eunuch acted like a monster again?"
When Pu Xuan talked about Long Chen, he felt very angry.
Remember, when he and Hong Zhi took Mojie as envoy to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Long Chen instigated Mojie's rebellion under their noses.
Although Monk Kongji and Shi Le didn't say anything about them, their reputations were already bad.
The disciples in the temple secretly laughed at Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi as idiots, and the ministers in the court also laughed at them as stupid donkeys.
Some even say that Pu Xuan and Hong Zhi deliberately let Mojie betray them.
Monk Kongji smiled helplessly and said, "He will no longer be a eunuch."
Pu Xuan was surprised: "What do you mean? He was kicked out of the palace by the empress?"
If he is not a eunuch, he will be kicked out of the palace, Pu Xuan thought so.
Monk Kongji shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll talk to my senior brother in detail when I get back."
Monk Kongji walked towards the palace, leaving Pu Xuan scratching his head.
"No longer a eunuch, what do you mean?"
Pu Xuan touched his bare forehead and felt a little cold.
Autumn in Xixia is even colder, and Pu Xuan feels it’s time to wear a hat.
"Uncle."
A well-built and good-looking monk came over and saluted.
"Jingyan, are you okay at Qiuzitang?"
This monk has a strict religious title and is responsible for the monastic affairs of Qiuzitang.
Jingyan replied: "Fortunately, everything is normal."
Pu Xuan sighed: "There are far fewer believers offering incense, but there are many begging for children. It's better to be here with you."
Jingyan smiled meaningfully and said: "The reason why there are so few believers is that there is a Zhenfo Temple over there in Mojie, but the only place to ask for a son is Zhaoti Temple."
There are fewer believers offering incense at Zhaoti Temple. The main problem lies with Mojie.
After the Zhenfo Temple came out, the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty stopped coming.
The believers from Nanliang also changed their surname to Zhenfo Temple and stopped coming to Zhaoti Temple to listen to the Dharma.
Even here in Xixia, many believers have converted to true Buddhist temples.
Monk Deshan spent a lot of effort against Mojie at Zhenguo Temple to prevent the power of Zhenfo Temple from penetrating into Xixia.
"Work hard, and while you are young and strong, you can seek more children for your believers."
Pu Xuan suddenly showed an evil smile.
Jingyan smiled slightly: "Disciple, I will obey my uncle's decree."
Pu Xuan nodded slightly, entered the abbot's room, and waited for Monk Kongji to return.
Just now Kong Ji said that Long Chen was no longer an eunuch. Pu Xuan was confused when he heard this. He wanted to know what it meant.
Monk Kongji entered the palace with the secret letter and met Ma Fang, the eunuch in charge.
"Eunuch Ma."
"National Preceptor."
"Is the king here?"
"Here he is, but the king is going to Panhe Palace."
Monk Kongji nodded.
Panhe Palace is located in the southeast of Xixia. In autumn, when the vegetation is withered and yellow, there are many prey there.
Shi Le went to Panhe Palace because he wanted to hunt.
Moreover, after Panhe Palace was burned down by Long Chen, Shi Le mobilized tens of thousands of people to rebuild it. Now that it was repaired, he wanted to take a look.
"Oh, this poor monk has something to ask for, please let me know."
When Kong Ji wanted to see him, Ma Fang naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately entered the harem.
Turning around the corridor, I saw the eunuchs and maids preparing things in a hurry.
On this trip, Shi Le took his concubine Li Yan with him, but the queen did not go.
After passing through the corridor and arriving at the dormitory, Shi Le was looking at the list of things he had brought.
"Your Majesty."
"Just in time, take a look and see if there is anything missing from this list."
Ma Fang was definitely going to accompany him and was in charge of the logistics, so Shi Le asked Ma Fang to look over the list.
