At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 335 How much is your life worth?
Only then did the ministers suddenly realize why the emperor was always smiling and never getting angry no matter what the other party said, so he was waiting here!
The tyrant kills, the sage kills.

For Jinbatu, this decree is really more uncomfortable than killing him.

His face was pale, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty will be punished by heaven for disrespecting gods and Buddhas!"

Zhu Qizhen's face was still unmoved, and he said slowly: "I bestowed on you the position of Grand Scholars in the Cabinet of Gods and Buddhas, plus the crown prince and Taifu. Such status is already regarded as an extremely human minister in the Ming Dynasty, why is it disrespectful?"

"you you……"

Jinbatu pointed at Zhu Qizhen, his fingers trembling with anger.

"The Buddha has great powers, so why would he care about a small official position in the world? Your Majesty swept the world and created inexhaustible achievements, and the little monk admired him. However, in front of the gods and Buddhas, if you don't know how to restrain yourself and act recklessly, disasters will come from the sky. In turmoil, Your Majesty may not know the allusion of King Zhou's loss of the country?"

It is rumored that the demise of the Shang Dynasty originated from the disrespect of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty to the statue of Nuwa.

This old man was addicted to drinking and sex. Seeing that everyone was thinking about things on the bed, he even wondered if he could sleep with Empress Nuwa, and even wrote a very literary "love poem" on the wall of Nuwa Temple. Empress Nuwa was so angry that she sent a nine-tailed fox down to earth, causing chaos in the court. Finally, King Wu overthrew Zhou and destroyed the Shang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Jinbatu was keen and eager to learn since he was a child, and he has read a lot of books, and he is very familiar with these allusions.

After he finished speaking, the faces of the officials in the court suddenly changed. Not to mention, if the emperor really annoyed the gods, the consequences would be disastrous...

Zhu Qizhen finally put away the smile on his face and asked, "I'm here to ask you, what is a god?"

Jinbatu immediately replied: "Gods, there is no way, no way, unpredictable, so the cloud is not known to people!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued: "I'll ask you again, are there many people who believe in gods and worship Buddha in Uzang?"

Jinbatu clasped his hands together and said, "Everyone in Uzbekistan respects Buddhism!"

"Tell me, how are the people in Uzang doing?"

Hearing this, Jinbatu was stunned because he didn't know how to answer.

Zhu Qizhen continued to ask: "I'll ask you again, how do the people in Uzang fare compared to the people in the Central Plains?"

Jinbatu held back for a long time before he said: "Wuszang is located in the mountains, most of them are barren and cold places, and the people live in poverty, so naturally it is not as rich as the Central Plains."

"Since everyone in Uzbekistan believes in Buddhism, why do they live in poverty?"

"This……"

Jinbatu thought quickly in his heart, and said: "The people in the hearts of the Buddha, yes, yes...sincere, do not ask for anything in return..."

These words were extremely unfounded, and at this moment, the faith in his heart began to be shaken.

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "If you can't even solve the suffering of the common people, what's the use of such gods and Buddhas?"

"No, no..."

Jinbatu shook his head, his face was dripping with sweat, he didn't know what to do.

"Open your dog eyes and see, the people in the Central Plains are rich in food and clothing, do they rely on gods?"

"You go door to door and ask, which god do they worship?"

"Wake up, if there is really a high god overlooking all living beings in the sky, why is there so much suffering and war in the world!"

"Your gods and Buddhas are nothing more than tools to collect power and money. Do you really think you are superior to others?"

"Don't think I don't know, your Living Buddha has been replaced by Mongols since Zar Gyatso. Since Mongols can be canonized, why can't I?"

"Or, your Buddha is only afraid of the Mongolian cavalry, but not my guns and artillery?"

Zhu Qizhen's expression has completely changed, from a harmless smile at the beginning to now cold as frost, full of killing intent.

This series of questions completely pierced the belief in Jinbatu's heart. He thought hard, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.

Could it be... that the god I pursued all my life is really so vulnerable?
Zhu Qizhen said again: "It has been clearly stated in my imperial decree that if that Buddha refuses to accept my reward, he will come and explain it to me face to face. He has not shown up now, so he has already agreed. From now on, your Buddha will bow down when he sees me, but you insist on not kneeling, and still say that you are a devout believer?"

Jinbatu was drenched in cold sweat, and all the remarks he had prepared earlier lost all meaning.

Now he has only two choices, kneel or die.

However, in the original plan, he died without fear of power, not such a useless death...

"Is Your Majesty planning to drive Wu Sizang to a dead end?"

This is his last hole card, does Da Ming dare to play it?
I, Wu Sizang, am not afraid of going to war. Even if I lose, I have nothing. Anyway, I have nothing now...

Zhu Qizhen smiled suddenly, but there was a coldness in the smile.

"If I win King Chanhua's request and punish you for disrespect and kill you, how do you think King Chanhua will choose?"

Jinbatu's face turned from white to green, he never expected such a reply.

This is unreasonable!
Before leaving Tibet, we held a meeting together and discussed for a long time.

The purpose of entering Beijing this time was mainly to anger the Ming Dynasty court, because as far as Ming Dynasty was concerned, this battle was not ready yet.

If they send troops and win the battle, the gains outweigh the losses, and if they lose, they will be even more embarrassed.

If they don't send troops, through this mission and negotiation, at least Daming can know that Uzang is not a soft persimmon, you can pinch it if you want, at least withdraw the Ning Wangfan first, everyone will not violate the river water, and will not interfere with each other. put one's oar in.

Therefore, the conditions they put forward were extremely harsh, almost equivalent to the yearly money paid as tribute to foreign countries in the Southern Song Dynasty. Although Ming Dynasty did not lack this little money, this kind of behavior was extremely insulting.

Never thought that Daming would still agree?
The more Jinbatu thought about it, the more afraid he became. If he really agreed to these impolite demands and then clicked himself with a backhand, would King Chanhua fight Da Ming for himself?

In other words, is one's own life worth the money?
It seems that... can't...

At this moment, the faith in Jinbatu's heart collapsed, and he fell into a state of confusion.

Maybe... people are right, in the eyes of King Chanhua, what is the value of oneself, if you can really get so much money in exchange, then...

He didn't dare to think about it, no matter what, if he just died like this, it seemed really worthless!

Finally, the line of defense in his heart completely collapsed, and he knelt down slowly.

"Chen Wusi Zangdu commanded the same prefect, Jinbatu, to kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The chill on Zhu Qizhen's face faded away, and he turned back to the dragon chair.

"Tell me, what is the intention of the Qing family coming to Beijing this time?"

Jinbatu possessed himself and said: "The people of Uzbekistan are living in poverty. On behalf of His Royal Highness King Chanhua, I request the imperial court to provide assistance."
