Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 91 Master, you can always give me some new tricks!
Xiao Cheng walked out of Yuren, looked up and saw the tall and majestic mountain gate at the foot of Ganye Temple, and the white marble steps paving the way up the mountain.

Hui Chi and Hui Kai, who had been waiting under the mountain gate for a long time, led the monks in the temple, came to Xiao Cheng, offered Buddhist rituals together, and sang in unison:

"Amitabha, the poor monk leading the monks in the temple, pay homage to His Majesty!"

Xiao Cheng frowned, looked around, shook his head and said with a light smile:

"Poor monk? If Ganye Temple is still called 'poor', can it be worthy of my Xiao family's 600-year enshrining?"

His words made Hui Chi and Hui Kai froze immediately.

Xiao Cheng looked at the two, suddenly smiled and said:
"Look at the faces of the two of you, I'm just joking!"

Hui Chi's mouth twitched, his eyes were slightly cold, he quickly lowered his head and did not speak.

Xiao Cheng glanced at Hui Chi, and said again:

"I heard that Ganye Temple was closed for one year? Didn't I break the rules of this temple by coming here?"

Hui Kai opened his bulging eyes, looked at Xiao Cheng in front of him, and continued:
"Before the abbot was grateful that His Majesty was weak and unable to govern, he hereby closed the temple for one year, thinking that His Majesty prayed for blessings. Now that His Majesty is blessed by the Buddha, he is in good health. He is here to fulfill his wish. How can we refuse?"

Xiao Cheng nodded and said:

"Since the mage said that my body is blessed by the Buddha, then naturally I have to pay my respects! Please also abbot Huikai and mage Huichi, please lead the way ahead!"

As soon as the two performed the Buddhist ceremony, they were about to lead Xiao Cheng up the mountain when they saw thousands of forbidden soldiers, suddenly pushed aside the monks in front of the door, and rushed up the mountain along the white marble steps.

Hui Chi was startled, turned his head abruptly, and said:

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Xiao Cheng looked up at the two of them, and said in a deep voice:
"The general of the forbidden army has been in the army for a long time, and he has been tainted with murderous aura. Now they have the opportunity to meet the Buddha, receive the influence of Buddhism, and eliminate the evil of blood. It is also an excellent opportunity for them!"

Hui Kai's eyelids jumped, and quickly pulled Hui Chi who was a little panicked by his side, then turned to Xiao Cheng with a look of embarrassment, and said:

"Your Majesty, this is the land of Buddhism after all. Let the soldiers enter, I'm afraid they will offend the Buddha!"

Xiao Cheng's face turned cold at first, staring at the two of them, then he smiled relievedly, and said:
"Buddha loves living beings, he teaches without discrimination, how could he despise these soldiers and men colliding with each other!"

When the two heard this, their throats were blocked, and they didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Cheng waved his sleeves and walked straight up the mountain.

Hui Chi couldn't hide the panic in his eyes, nervously watching Xiao Cheng's back going up the mountain, and the forbidden army pouring into the mountain gate like a tide, he couldn't help feeling remorse and fear in his heart, and even had the idea of ​​turning around and running away.

Hui Kai looked at Hui Chi coldly, his face was uncertain, he just pushed Hui Chi slightly, lowered his eyes and said:

"Abbot, Your Majesty has gone far!"

Hui Chi turned to look at Hui Kai, lowered his voice, and said tremblingly:

"Mage, the little emperor must have discovered something this time, otherwise, he wouldn't even bring the imperial army! What should we do? What should we do, Mage!"

Hui Kai moved his throat slightly, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice:

"So what if you know? Abbot, don't forget the influence of my Buddhist family in Yunguo!"

Hui Kai's words are naturally true.

If there are rumors of treason spread by others, the common people will not pursue the authenticity of the reason, and the crowd must be excited.

And when the rumor of Buddhist treason was spread, most of the people's first reaction was to not believe it.Many of the remaining people are also dubious.The foundation of Buddhism in Yun Country is so deep that it can be seen that it is ordinary!
Today's treason is just a rumor, and there is no real evidence.Hui Kai decided that under such internal and external troubles, Xiao Cheng would never dare to touch Ye Temple in the slightest!
Hui Chi has long since lost the confident and imminent appearance before, even with Hui Kai's reassurance, he still can't hide the panic in his heart, shrinking back and saying:

"Mage, I..."

"Abbot, Your Majesty has gone far!"

Hui Kai's voice was gentle, but there was already a hint of coldness in his face, and he looked at Hui Chi quietly.

Hui Chi couldn't help but feel a chill, suddenly felt that the mage in front of him was extremely strange.He couldn't resist Huikai's eyes, and after a while, he quickly lowered his head and said in a shy voice:

"Yes, mage!"

Xiao Cheng glanced at the two who had just caught up behind him, the corner of his mouth curled up, and then he turned his head away again.

Looking at the looming Ganye Temple in the mountains in front of him, Xiao Cheng was already thinking about how much money he could make if he copied this Ganye Temple in the future!

After entering the gate of the temple, Hui Chi had no choice but to suppress the panic in his heart, and led Xiao Cheng to worship all the main halls of Ganye Temple where Buddha statues are enshrined.

Xiao Cheng was not bothered, after all, every time he prayed to the Buddha, looking at the shining golden Buddha statue in front of him, and thinking about how much money he could exchange for it, he couldn't help but feel happy.

After all, it is the Ganye Temple that has been rich for 600 years. It is only a rough estimate. The bronze statues in the temple may make Xiao Cheng no longer worry about money for a long time to come.

Unfortunately, we have to wait for a while.

After paying respects to the Buddha, the two invited Xiao Cheng into an elegant Buddhist hall to rest according to the old tradition.The two stood aside in person, serving tea and pouring water.

Xiao Cheng looked at Hui Chi whose eyes were a little dodgy, suddenly smiled, and said:
"Now, I have revisited my old place! Speaking of which, when I was fasting at Ganye Temple, the abbot also brought me meals!"

Hui Chi's hand offering the teacup trembled slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Serving His Majesty is the duty of a poor monk!"

Xiao Cheng nodded and said with emotion:

"Yes, Yun Kingdom has been in existence for 600 years. Ganye Temple is the head of the royal temples. In each generation, the descendants of the clan have become monks on behalf of the emperor. They are closely related to the luck of Yun Kingdom. Recently, there were rumors of treason at Baiyan Temple. It's ridiculous!"

Hui Chi forced a laugh, flustered, not knowing how to respond.

Hui Kai who was on the side heard the words, so he had no choice but to answer:

"Your Majesty's lesson! This must be someone with a heart, using small tricks, just to make the country up and down, and the people's hearts are in turmoil. The people behind this absolutely don't know that Your Majesty is so wise, otherwise they would not use such ridiculous tricks!"

Xiao Cheng looked at Hui Kai who could speak so well, and couldn't help nodding and laughing:

"Although the mage has passed the ancient times, he is still like this... Well, he can speak well!"

Hui Kai's face froze, wondering if Xiao Cheng was mocking him.

"But even if I believe it, in order to make the people feel at ease, we still need the abbot and mage to make a statement!" Xiao Cheng said again.

Hui Kai heard the words, his cloudy eyes moved slightly, and quickly said:
"If this is the case, it is a critical moment for the country. I am grateful for the emperor's grace, and I will serve you. The eight hundred monks and soldiers in the temple are willing to serve your majesty."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng frowned first, then suddenly realized, pointed at Hui Chi and smiled:

"Hahaha, Master worked so hard, I already guessed it. The Master wanted to tell me that there are only [-] monks and soldiers in Ganye Temple. Then when I am disappointed, tell me that there are [-] monks and soldiers in the temple. Give me a surprise, yes No? Hahaha, Master, you can always come up with something new for me!"
