Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

The inexplicable sense of familiarity is not the only puzzling part. What is even more puzzling is that the portrait of this goddess has her face covered, with a pair of cold fox eyes, which makes her look familiar no matter how you look at her.

The emperor was not in a hurry to announce the decree. He pondered for a long time and summoned the imperial teacher to the palace to discuss the matter with him.

After reading the letters and portraits left by Ji De, the national teacher seemed to be lost in thought. The emperor did not disturb the national teacher's thoughts. He leisurely picked up the teacup and stirred the tea leaves on the water, as if he was playing some interesting game. His eyes were focused and a faint smile played on the corners of his mouth.

The Imperial Master came out of his deep thoughts and when he looked up he saw the Emperor who was not doing his job. Especially when he found that he looked indifferent and as if it was none of his business, he smiled silently in annoyance.

The Imperial Master immediately retracted his expression and said solemnly, “Your Majesty.”

The emperor looked up at the Imperial Master and saw that he looked strange. He immediately put down his teacup and sat up straight, like a student caught by the Dean of Studies: "Imperial Master."

Seeing that he didn't respond, he hurriedly asked, "Master, have you found anything?"

The Imperial Master pointed at the painting and asked: "Your Majesty, have you ever seen a god or Buddha statue with a mask on its face?"

The emperor shook his head obediently and asked, "What the Imperial Master means is that there is something wrong with the goddess that Jide worships, and he suspects that he and the goddess are members of a cult?"

This time it was the Imperial Master who shook his head. The Emperor was completely confused. Shaking his head? What did that mean?

The Imperial Master wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back because the other party was the emperor.

"If Ji De is a member of a cult, who do you think can catch him and bring him to justice?"

The emperor immediately thought of Ji De’s strange methods and his elusive whereabouts, and fell silent.

Not to mention anything else, just the envelope and portrait in front of them were placed there by Ji De. Not to mention him, even the secret guards who had been on alert did not notice that anyone had appeared by his bedside and left a letter.

Perhaps it is possible that the person who left the letter was not Ji De himself, but it is not impossible that he could bribe the people around him to leave the letter quietly and want that person to kill him without anyone knowing.

So, even if Ji De and that goddess are from a cult, what can he do?

However, based on a few brief conversations with Ji De, he intuitively felt that Ji De did not want to harm him or the people of Zhao State.

The emperor's eyes fell on the portrait of the goddess. The more he looked at it, the more familiar the eyes seemed to him. He felt as if he had seen them somewhere before.

"I have spoken my mind. Since Ji De used the blank imperial edict, I will do as he wishes and build a temple for the goddess he serves." After a pause, he added, "However, the national treasury cannot allocate too much money to build a temple, so we will first choose a site in the capital to build the first goddess temple."

The imperial teacher immediately understood what the emperor meant. If the Temple of the Goddess was really that effective, even if the emperor did not order its construction, people from other places would request it to be built in various parts of the Kingdom of Zhao, and some local people might even spontaneously fund its construction.

In this way, the emperor did not need to argue with the officials in the court. After all, Ji De had donated a lot of silver to the national treasury. He just needed the court to build a temple, but did not specify how big it should be. It would cost tens of thousands or at most hundreds of thousands of taels, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the millions or tens of millions of taels donated by Ji De.

What if you are against Ji De building temples and Ji De never donates money again?

What if this angered Ji De, and Ji De took their money and donated it to other countries? Wouldn’t they become sinners of the Zhao Kingdom?

establish!

Must be built!
