Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 352 Wei Jinyao is hopeless, I'd better run away first

Royal study room.

After Emperor Yuanzhen ascended the throne, he advocated keeping everything simple. Even the imperial study, which was usually used to handle government affairs, was extremely simple, with only an incense burner and two potted plants as decoration.

At this time, Emperor Yuanzhen was talking with Master Kongkong.

"Master, you have just arrived in the Imperial City. Why are you in such a hurry to go back? I still want to discuss the sutras and the Dao with you for a while."

Emperor Yuanzhen smiled and tried his best to keep him.

Being an emperor seems glamorous, but in fact, there is no one to vent his sorrows to. Just the daily memorials took up a lot of Emperor Yuanzhen's time, making him physically and mentally exhausted. Even if he took a rest, it was like carrying a mountain on his back and he could hardly fall asleep.

Even if you are a cultivator, your mind always needs rest.

It is said that Master Kongkong, the abbot of the Zen School, is highly respected and has profound attainments in Buddhism. When Emperor Yuanzhen learned that he had come out of seclusion, he specially invited him to the imperial city to preach.

Emperor Yuanzhen was a Taoist and did not admire Buddhism, but he knew very well that monks were best at enlightening people, and his original intention was to listen to a few random Buddhist teachings to relax himself a little.

Master Kongkong did not disappoint Emperor Yuanzhen. Every time after listening to Master Kongkong's lectures, Emperor Yuanzhen's sleep quality improved sharply and his mood became extremely relaxed.

Arrive before anyone arrives.

How is this excuse any different from leaving the stove on when you go out? There is no technical content at all.

If he was convinced by him, why would he be willing to replace him with a younger disciple? Why not at least refuse?

After saying this, Master Kongkong turned around and left, not wanting to delay even a minute.

Why are these aunt and nephew from the Wei family so weird...

"..."

Master Kongkong has been giving lectures and discussing Buddhism for many years. No matter whether he meets evildoers or poor people in the sea of ​​suffering, he is always willing to give them some advice and help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering. This is the responsibility of Buddhism, and he has never given up on anyone.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Master said he wants to see you for something important."

His Majesty had repeatedly said that he wanted to discuss Buddhism with him, and he had thought that His Majesty was convinced by his Buddhism, but now it seemed...something was not right.

Unexpectedly, just as I walked to the door, I heard a familiar voice:

"Lao Deng, didn't you leave? Why are you here?"

Emperor Yuanzhen was delighted: "This is a very good move!"

Although he has a high level of cultivation and strong defense, Wei Jinyao never shows mercy. It is said that he had a fight with the dean of Luyun Academy not long ago and beat the dean so badly that his waist and knees were sore. Master Kongkong originally thought it was a rumor, but now it seems to be true.

Wei Jinyao is beyond help.

The Grand Master nodded and walked into the imperial study with an expressionless face, pretending not to see Master Kongkong and the old man.

The chief minister blinked and asked the eunuch next to him, "Why did Master Kongkong run so fast? Did you bully him?"

"..."

Master Kongkong's heart skipped a beat, and he said hurriedly, "Since Your Majesty has something to do, I'll take my leave."

But Wei Jin Yao is an exception.

Master Kongkong did not expect that Emperor Yuanzhen was so fond of Buddhism, and he was very pleased. Although they were both royal members, the emperor was obviously more intelligent than Wei Jinyao.

Master Kong Kong raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling like a spring breeze: "No, no..."

His waist still aches slightly.

"..."

Emperor Yuanzhen didn't know the reason, so he smiled and said, "In that case, Master, why don't you stay for a few more days? I have many questions that I would like to ask you to answer."

Master Kongkong thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out, so he stopped dwelling on it. At least he could get out of this situation.

Thinking of this, Master Kong Kong was about to get up and say goodbye when he heard a palace servant come to report:

But it is not easy to say this to the emperor. It is unreasonable and simply asking for trouble to scold someone else's aunt in front of her nephew.

"..."

He never expected that the price of coming to the imperial city to preach and discuss the doctrine would be to be beaten.

Master Kongkong kept smiling, looking like a kind-hearted monk.

Where is the disagreement?

It’s simply unreasonable!

Master Kongkong raised his hand and bowed: "Your Majesty is very intelligent and does not need me to solve your doubts. I am in a hurry and just remembered that the Yang fire in the retreat place has not been extinguished, so I came to say goodbye."

Master Kong Kong knew who was coming without even turning around. He secretly thought it was bad luck, and quickly chanted a spell and made hand gestures, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Maybe it's urgent." The eunuch laughed dryly and wondered why he ran so fast. Could it be that you haven't counted yet?

Emperor Yuanzhen saw that Master Kongkong did not want to stay, so he did not force him to stay. He sighed and said, "In that case, I will not keep you. But I have many doubts in my heart, and no one can answer them... I wonder if you have any disciples in the capital?"

Seeing Emperor Yuanzhen's straightforward look, Master Kongkong suddenly felt something was not right.

Emperor Yuanzhen particularly admired the theory of "letting go" advocated by Master Kongkong.

Master Kongkong thought of the disciples who came to Bianjing for training and said, "What a coincidence, our Chanyi Sect does have a direct disciple in Beijing. The disciple's name is Yuankong, and he is a martial monk. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but he also has a deep understanding of Buddhism. If Your Majesty needs him, I can let him enter the palace."

The Yang fire is not extinguished?

Emperor Yuanzhen heard Master Kongkong's refusal and felt that the excuse was poor.

After being beaten, Buddhist disciples all advocate "laying down the butcher knife and repaying evil with virtue". He can endure such humiliation. He is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and holds a high position. What does it matter if he is tired a little?

I wanted to communicate with Master Kongkong a few more times to improve my sleep quality and at the same time narrow the distance between the imperial court and the immortal sect. However, I didn't expect that Master Kongkong would say goodbye after discussing Taoism with the Grand Master.

Thinking of his aunt's behavior, Emperor Yuan Zhen asked at the right time: "Did you have a disagreement with the eldest princess?"

Emperor Yuanzhen listened to everything that had just happened. Seeing the Grand Master coming over, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "What happened between Aunt and Master Kongkong?"

The Grand Master waved his hand and bowed. "I just argued with him for a few words, and he got angry. Let's not talk about this. I came here this time to report something more important."

Emperor Yuanzhen hurriedly offered her a seat and asked the eunuch to pour tea before asking, "Aunt, there is no need to be polite. This is not the court, and there are no outsiders. If you have anything to say, just speak frankly."

The chief minister did not exchange pleasantries but went straight to explaining the affairs of Yaoxiang Village. He specifically mentioned the tacit cooperation between Lu Zhan and Chu Wantang and the contributions they had made.

Emperor Yuanzhen frowned repeatedly as he listened. When he heard about the corruption and abuse of power in the Demon Suppression Division, he thought that his aunt came to tell him the results of the handling, but he didn't expect that a princess from the previous dynasty would pop up.

When he heard about the princess of the previous dynasty, he thought that it was the princess of the previous dynasty who brought demons to cause chaos. Unexpectedly, the chaos caused by the princess was so serious that she actually tried to harm the people of the Great Zhou with blood poison.

So this matter was like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Zhan's contribution naturally became bigger and bigger as well.

Emperor Yuanzhen heard the hidden meaning in his aunt's words and thought, "Lu Zhan has indeed made remarkable achievements since he came to the capital. He is indeed a young talent of the Demon Suppression Bureau. After hearing what your aunt said, I would like to meet him."

The Grand Master paused holding the teacup, and raised her eyebrows: "Your Majesty wants to see Lu Zhan?"

Emperor Yuanzhen smiled and said, "He has made many outstanding achievements and is a young talent known all over the world. I naturally want to meet him. How about this? When Lu Zhan returns, I will have him come to the palace to meet me and then reward him according to his merits."

"..."

The Chief Master had a subtle look on his face. Although the Emperor wanted to reward people according to their merits, it now seemed that the reward had absolutely nothing to do with the Demon Suppression Division.

Otherwise, the emperor would definitely discuss the matter with her.

However, the Grand Master knew very well that the position of the Sword Bearer was too important. Not only did it supervise her, but it also had absolute power. It was understandable that the Emperor was cautious.

She came here not to wield a sword, but to be the deputy commander. If Lu Zhan could not take this position, he could still assist Lan Lan.

Thinking of this, the Grand Master did not give more rewards, but said calmly: "How can Lu Zhan be as good as your majesty said, famous all over the world? I think he is full of romantic entanglements all over the world."

Emperor Yuanzhen didn't mind this. He said, "Young people admire young women. This is human nature. It's not wrong for a man to be lustful. As long as he makes contributions to the country and the people, he is a good man of the Great Zhou."

The Grand Master said slowly, "Lu Zhan's talent is one thing, but what really makes me envious is his luck."

"That's true..." Emperor Yuanzhen agreed: "Every time he encounters a case, he can dig out something more or less."

The chief master sighed: "Compared to money, status, and cultivation talent, luck is often more important."

Emperor Yuanzhen was slightly startled. He looked at his aunt who was sitting not far away with a dazed look on his face.

The Grand Master's purple official uniform was incomparably gorgeous. He was sitting upright on a chair, his brows smiling, the corners of his lips slightly raised. He had a beautiful face, but he seemed to be carrying a sadness that could not be dispelled.

Emperor Yuanzhen dismissed the eunuch who was beside him, and then asked carefully: "Aunt, has the unrest in the South China Sea affected you? Is there anything I can do?"

The chief minister said calmly, "Never."

Emperor Yuanzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Before my father died, he told me to do my best to help my aunt if there is any unusual movement in the South China Sea. If my aunt needs anything, just let me know."

The Grand Master stared at her nephew, who was sitting on the dragon throne, with a sense of power all around him. She smiled and said, "Of course, now that the herbs in Yaoxiang Village have been burned by Lu Zhan, and the blood poison in Bianjing has been controlled, I will go find the princess of the previous dynasty."

Emperor Yuanzhen asked, "Do you want to bring troops with you?"

"No need." The chief minister stood up and said, "It's just a visit to an old friend. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

-

Yuzhou City.

Lu Zhan brought the two fairies to the Demon Suppression Bureau in Yuzhou City. Soon, Liu Silu and Chen Beifang came to discuss the case.

"Master Lu, you have done a great deed this time. I never thought that such a small case of the Medicine Fairy would lead to so many old cases!"

As soon as Liu Silu arrived at the lobby, he ignored Chu Wantang and Ling Jiaoyue, and went straight to the point, greeting Lu Zhan.

Chu Wantang was already used to this.

It is said that Liu Silu disliked the Four Books and Five Classics and did not like going out to play since he was a child. He only liked to study things related to the law.

His family discovered that he had a talent for law and were afraid that he would go astray, so they sent him to become a monk.

Later, as expected, Liu Silu became a famous Taoist.

After becoming a Taoist practitioner, Liu Silu did not lose heart. He focused on both aspects, practicing Taoism while studying the law.

Later, when he had made great progress in his cultivation and the Demon-Suppression Division was recruiting workers, he used the laws of the Great Zhou to persuade the recruiter to faint, and he was successfully recruited into the Demon-Suppression Division.

Later, I climbed to my current position.

The entire Demon Suppression Bureau knows that Liu Silu has two major habits.

First: Read the law every morning.

Second: He is not interested in women.

Others may not be interested in women, but at least they will be able to appreciate them, but Liu Silu does not have this ability.

In his eyes, there was no difference between the young girl and the old woman.

"You haven't encountered such a situation before, right? This is the basic quality of our Director of the Demon Suppression Bureau. No matter how beautiful you are, it's useless." Chu Wantang seized the opportunity to bully Ling Jiaoyue.

Ling Jiaoyue was indifferent and said calmly, "It's enough for me to have Lu Zhan's appreciation."

Chu Wantang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What a pity, Lu Guanqi not only admires you, but also others."

"..."

Ling Jiaoyue's breathing stagnated. Just as she was about to retort, she received a signal from Lu Zhan's eyes, so she had to give up.

Seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Lu Zhan asked, "Why did Director Liu say that?"
