Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 459 Tuotuo: What? Little Ming Wang ran away! (asking for monthly tickets)

Amitabha!
Seeing flames rising in the palace and corpses strewn across the ground, Bashiba sighed and chanted the Buddha's name. As the chanting vibrated, it seemed as if there was a mysterious rhythm vibrating madly between heaven and earth.

When this vibration was heard, it was a sense of security from the depths of the hearts for the palace maids and eunuchs around them who were feeling uneasy.

For those houses that were burning, the vibration directly caused the flames to suffer devastating suppression.

boom!
All of a sudden, the flames in the entire palace began to gradually go out.

At the same time, the sound of the Buddha's name also reached the ancestral pagoda. The emperor, who was trembling with fear at the sight of the rioters, suddenly started to feel awake and crawled towards the door.

The various women around hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"

After hearing this, the emperor did not answer, but murmured: "The Living Buddha is coming, the Living Buddha is coming."

Soon, the emperor arrived at the entrance of the iron tower. Through the observation hole left in the tower, he saw that there were no thieves outside, only a little monk in a moon-white robe.

When the emperor saw the little monk, he immediately shouted, "Quick, open the ancestral pagoda! I want to see the living Buddha!"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone activated the mechanism inside the tower, and soon all the iron plates of the tower began to rise.

The emperor ignored everyone else and pushed open the door. He then rushed out at an extremely fast speed, then slid down to his knees and threw himself on the Living Buddha: "Living Buddha, did you really think I would never see you again? Woo woo woo woo..."

The crying was so miserable that it shocked everyone. In just a moment, almost everyone knelt down to pay homage to the Living Buddha.

For a moment, the scene formed a very strange scene, where a group of people were kneeling on the ground and paying respect to a little monk.

Looking at the emperor who was crying loudly, the little monk did not say much. Instead, he reached out and touched his head. Then a huge power of Buddha was transmitted, which instantly warmed the emperor's cold body and his frightened heart gradually calmed down.

Feeling all this, the emperor lowered his head even lower.

This is the emperor's divine power.

After feeling all this, I saw that Bashiba's eyes penetrated the entire palace. How come he didn't notice the existence of an enemy? Did these rebels retreat so quickly?

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a burst of fierce horse hoof sounds not far away, and a moment later he saw a group of people rushing into the palace. At this time, the emperor had been helped up by Ba Siba. After all, an emperor must have his own dignity. If he keeps kneeling on the ground, how can he have any dignity?

The emperor regained his majesty, and the person who entered the palace at this time was none other than Prime Minister Tuotuo.

At this time, Tuotuo led his troops into the palace, ran directly in front of the emperor, knelt down and said: "Your servant Tuotuo is late in coming to rescue you, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Looking at Tuotuo kneeling on the ground, the emperor's face suddenly became gloomy.

He was in such a mess, and Tuotuo was not immune to it. He looked at Tuotuo coldly and shouted: "Tuotuo, you came just in time!"

Tuotuo immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am late, late!"

The emperor wanted to explode, but he held back his anger. He thought, "You have more important things to do now." He shouted, "Tuotuo, whether you deserve to die or not, it's not too late. We can talk about it later. You must catch the rebels who broke into the palace right now. I want to kill them!"

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Tuotuo went to do it immediately after he said that. However, after Tuotuo turned around, his face immediately turned ugly. The adjutant beside him came up and said, "Prime Minister, His Majesty is here to you!"

Tuotuo didn't say much, just said: "It's come to this point, there's no point in saying more, let's arrest him first."

Tuotuo was indeed thinking so. Let's arrest the man first. After this incident, his relationship with the emperor would definitely not be the same as before, and he would definitely not be trusted by the emperor as before.

Why?

The reason is very simple. First, the rebels were able to enter Dadu largely because of Tuotuo's connivance. If Tuotuo had not insisted on holding a massacre and letting all the Northern Red Turbans and other thieves into the city, there would be no way that the thieves would break into the palace and attack the emperor.

So in this matter, Tuotuo bore the main responsibility. Just for this reason, he didn't even need to protest if the emperor killed him.

And there is another point, which is the biggest rift between him and the emperor. Yes, it is the Great Qian Master Dharmaba. He is one of the Eight Guards of the Golden Horde, the emperor's personal guard. As a result, you, Tuotuo, transferred him to your prime minister's residence to protect you.

So who is more important, the emperor or you, Prime Minister Tuotuo, is more important? If the emperor kills you just for this reason, no one can say anything.

You are deceiving the emperor!

This is why the emperor didn't give Tuotuo a good face just now. The emperor is very dissatisfied with him now, extremely dissatisfied.

As for Tuotuo, he now has only one idea, which is tomorrow's king-slaughtering conference and the reduction of the power of the princes. If these two things are successful, then he doesn't have to care about the emperor's opinion at all. What emperor? He is just a puppet of Tuotuo.

Thinking of this, Tuotuo frowned, unable to understand how these rebels could be so bold as to attack the imperial palace. If it weren't for the Living Buddha, if they had succeeded in the assassination, Daqian would have been in chaos.

Who on earth came up with this idea? It's so insidious.

But it’s not too bad now. His Majesty is fine. As long as the King Slaughtering Conference goes on normally tomorrow, I can still control the situation.

and many more!

King slaughter meeting, Little Ming King!

"broken!"

Tuotuo exclaimed, and immediately shouted: "Quick, hurry back to the Big Buddha Temple!"

Seeing Tuotuo like this, the people behind him asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the Prime Minister?"

Tuotuo said in panic, "Quick, stop talking nonsense and go back!"

After hearing this, no one dared to ask any more questions and immediately returned to the Big Buddha Temple.

Watching Tuotuo and the others leave, the emperor's face became gloomy and he didn't smile at all. It was obvious that he was very angry.

The Living Buddha looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these rebels are so skilled, why don't I go and help them?"

The emperor heard this and said, "No, we don't need the Imperial Master. You just need to accompany me. Let them do the rest. Daqian is so big that we can't rely on the Imperial Master alone."

The emperor let Ba Siba leave step by step. For the emperor, it was not important whether the thief could be caught or not, but he must not let the Living Buddha out of his sight. He must make sure that the Living Buddha followed him, so that his own safety could be guaranteed.

His principle is that the traitors may not be caught, but he himself must be absolutely safe.

The emperor was afraid that once the Living Buddha left, the rebels would make a surprise attack. If something happened to him, even if he killed all ten clans of the rebels, it would be of no use to him.

Therefore, the emperor refused to allow the Living Buddha to leave.

The emperor even said to the Living Buddha: "Living Buddha, please stay in the palace tonight and accompany me."

Seeing the emperor like this, Ba Siba sighed, helpless.

Seeing that Ba Siba agreed, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was thinking about what happened today. After careful consideration, he found that the root of today's events was Tuotuo.

He had secluded himself and left the capital to him to manage, but he ended up letting the rebels enter the city. What he could not tolerate even more was that Toghto had transferred away Dharmapa, one of his Eight Guards of the Cumans. If Dharmapa was here today, he would not have been in such an embarrassing and dangerous situation.

When the emperor thought of this, he hated Tuotuo deeply.

However, the emperor was not in a position to say it clearly. The situation was still uncertain and he was still in shock. He needed time to digest everything here.

Thinking of this, the emperor asked the Living Buddha to follow him and let others take care of the affairs in the palace.

The Living Buddha followed the emperor and patrolled the palace. After looking around, he found that this group of thieves did not really want to kill the emperor. Because if they wanted to kill the emperor, they should have done it quietly. How could they start burning the houses as soon as they entered the palace?

This is because they are afraid that others will not notice it. Why?
Thinking of this, the Living Buddha frowned slightly. It seemed that this group of people just wanted to lure him to the palace. Then what was the purpose of leading him out of the Big Buddha Temple?

The Living Buddha thought about it, and suddenly he understood.

"So it was aimed at Little King Ming."

The Living Buddha muttered, "Luring the tiger away from the mountain, haha, they tricked me in as well, interesting."

The Living Buddha sighed, but did not get angry or have any other reaction. He didn't even care much about the rebels wanting to save the little Ming King.

On the contrary, he takes the attitude of letting everything go. In fact, this is indeed the idea of ​​the Living Buddha. He does not particularly care about the life or death of the little Ming King. He even does not want the little Ming King to die.

He had respect for Han Shantong. If Han Shantong's son was a hero, he would be willing to treat him with heroic courtesy. However, the other party was just an old poor guy, so the monk had little interest in him and he was not even worth killing.

This is why the Living Buddha is so indifferent to the Little Ming King. He even believes that it will be even more difficult for Zoroastrianism to flourish under the leadership of the Little Ming King.

Therefore, releasing the Little Ming King would actually be more beneficial to the development of Daqian, while killing the Little Ming King would probably only provoke strong resistance from the Red Turban Army.

Therefore, he was ready to let things take their own course.

However, he was indeed more interested in the person involved in this plan. This person's wisdom was extraordinary, and the Living Buddha thought of that hidden dragon. For some reason, the Living Buddha always felt that the hidden dragon might be the person who planned this matter!
At this time, in the house on Zhuque Street, Chen Jie and others came out of the tunnel.

Immediately, a guard came forward and asked Chen Jie, "Is everything okay?"

The guard said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, no one has discovered us."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Liu Futong and said, "Brother, gather the troops and see if there is anything missing."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Futong said, "Well, I'll arrange someone right away."

Soon everyone gathered their troops, and Chen Jie said, "Very good, since we are not short of people, let's break out from the east gate."

Liu Futong was stunned and asked, "With Borodimer at the East Gate, isn't it too dangerous?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "The East Gate is the most suitable. As for Borodimer, no matter how strong he is, he can't deal with four strong men in the Melting God Realm at the same time. When we get there, he will definitely retreat, and we can retreat calmly."

The four masters of the Melting God Realm that Chen explained were two Heavenly Ranking powerhouses, Liu Futong and Fang Guozhen, one who was at the Melting God Level 1, Zhu Chongba, and the other one was himself.

This lineup is not enough with just Borodimer who is ranked fourth on the Heavenly Ranking!

After figuring this out, Liu Futong said, "Then let's go to the east gate now."

"Ah."

Everyone immediately went towards the east gate. At this time, Chen Jie looked towards the direction of the Big Buddha Temple and said, "I don't know what's going on there!" Time went back a little.

Let’s start from when the Living Buddha had just left and Zhao Ya sneaked into the Big Buddha Temple.

At this time, the group searched for a while and finally saw King Ruyang and King Xiao Ming chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall of the Big Buddha Temple.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the cushion together, as if they were isolated from the world.

At this time, Zhao Ya and others met up outside. Mei Tu arrived early, but when she saw Prince Ruyang in the house, she did not dare to take action. Then she waited for Zhao Ya and others.

Pointed inside the door.

Zhao Ya and the others immediately came to the door and saw the strange scene inside. Just as they were looking at the situation inside, they suddenly heard a voice coming from inside: "Who is outside? Come in and talk!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya pushed the door open and rushed in with Wang Baobao.

"Father!"

Ok? !

When King Ruyang saw the two people in front of him, he was completely stunned. At this time, Zhao Ya's face was disguised. Although King Ruyang could not see her appearance clearly, his voice was very familiar.

At this time, King Ruyang asked in surprise: "Yaya, Kuokuo, why are you here?"

At this time, the Little Ming King, who was sitting on the futon and waiting for the judgment of fate, opened his eyes and saw Mei Tu in an instant. He also showed infinite ecstasy on his face and said, "Elder Mei Tu, are you here to save me?"

Meitu turned her head and looked at the little Ming Wang who was sitting there and said, "Greetings, Ming Wang."

"Ah, you're welcome, elder. I finally waited for you."

Little King Ming cried with joy, but he only cried twice and swallowed his tears, saying: "Sniff~"

"Don't cry. Don't attract the Living Buddha. By the way, elders, how did you get into the Great Buddha Temple? This is the territory of the land immortals. Are you not afraid of being discovered by coming in?"

After hearing this, Meitu said, "It's okay. Has the Living Buddha been deceived?"

Prince Ruyang also heard this at this time. He looked at Zhao Ya in surprise and said, "You tricked the Living Buddha away? How is this possible?"

Zhao Ya heard what King Ruyang said and said, "Father, all this is thanks to Jiu Si."

Prince Ruyang was stunned, looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Chen Jiusi also entered the capital?"

Wang Baobao said from the side: "It's father."

Prince Ruyang's expression changed slightly. At this time, Zhao Ya said, "Father, you don't have to be grateful to him. Father-in-law has something to do, how dare he not come!"

"I, when did I say I wanted to thank him? He, he should."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang thought for a moment and said, "You should." However, this sentence also meant that he no longer opposed the relationship between Zhao Ya and Chen Jie.

After all, it is right under certain circumstances. Only when the son-in-law is the father-in-law should it be right, otherwise why should it be right?

Zhao Ya was delighted when she heard this, and she also agreed, "Yes, yes, it should be, it should be."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang's expression improved slightly. He then looked at Zhao Ya and said, "However, how did the Living Buddha treat Chen Jiusi? The Living Buddha rarely leaves the Big Buddha Temple!"

After saying this, Zhao Ya looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Third brother, go ahead."

Wang Baobao was so excited after hearing this that he said, "Chen, Chen Jiusi broke into the palace..."

"what!"

Prince Ruyang's eyes widened with disbelief. What a guy, he broke into the palace and then used a trick to lure the living Buddha away from the mountain.

Prince Ruyang looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Nonsense, that's His Majesty!"

"Father, Jiu Si is worried about your safety, so he took this measure!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang shook his head and said, "How audacious! How audacious!"

Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao were both listening, but when Prince Ruyang came to this point, he asked again, "How is Jiangnan?"

These words made Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao silent.

Prince Ruyang looked at the expressions of the two and knew that the situation in Jiangnan must be bad. At this time, Prince Ruyang looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Kuokuo, what's the situation?"

Wang Baobao was silent for a moment after hearing this and said, "The prince has surrendered to the court. Five commanders of the White Deer Army have surrendered to the court. Only I, with my troops, have escaped."

"Many forces in Jiangnan that were suppressed by you, my father, over the years have taken the opportunity to expand their territory. Jiangnan is now in chaos."

"Please come back quickly, father, to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan!"

After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "That rebellious son has indeed rebelled!"

After saying this, King Ruyang was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, I know all these things, you can go back!"

Ok?
After hearing what King Ruyang said, everyone present was stunned. What does he mean by "you should go back first"?

They looked at King Ruyang in confusion and asked, "Father, what do you mean?"

King Ruyang said: "It's nothing. What I mean is that it's getting late. If you delay, something bad will happen. You should leave here quickly and don't stay here."

"What about you, father?"

Zhao Ya looked at King Ruyang, who said, "Of course I will stay here."

"why?"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya immediately asked back. Prince Ruyang pondered for a moment and said, "Yaya, I know what you are thinking, but father cannot leave. Father came to the capital under the order of the emperor. Without the emperor's order, father will not leave."

"Ah, father, why are you doing this now? It was obviously Tuotuo's plan to trick you into the capital. Why should we stay here? Isn't this just hitting a rock with an egg?"

"Yes, father, I know you are angry, but we can go out first. When we get to Jiangnan, we can reorganize the troops. Then we can lead the troops north and ask the emperor to hand over Tuotuo!"

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang shook his head and said, "I am the prince of Daqian. I cannot do anything that would let down His Majesty."

"Although this incident was planned by Tuotuo, everyone in the world thinks that I was recruited to the capital by His Majesty. Now that I am leaving, why would I come to the capital?"

"Besides, I moved into this Great Buddha Temple on my own. The Living Buddha has never restricted my freedom. If I want to leave, no one can stop me, but I can't leave."

"If I leave, it means I feel guilty. I don't feel guilty, but Tuotuo is the one who feels guilty."

King Ruyang said: "I will wait here until your majesty speaks up to clear my bad name, and then I will leave. Otherwise, I will never leave."

After hearing what Prince Ruyang said, Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao both felt a headache. Why was their father so stubborn?

You have to wait for His Majesty to release you, but His Majesty may not even know that you have been arrested!

As a result, when Wang Baobao said this, the King of Ruyang replied: "Then wait until he finds out!"

Seeing Prince Ruyang like this, Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, what should we do?"

Zhao Ya looked at King Ruyang and said, "Father, are you really unwilling to leave?"

King Ruyang said: "I won't leave. If I had to leave, I would have left long ago."

Zhao Ya was silent. He actually understood what Prince Ruyang was thinking. It was true that Prince Ruyang was deceived by Tuotuo into coming to the capital, but people outside thought that Tuotuo was promoting the imperial decree to recruit Prince Ruyang to the capital.

Even if it was Tuotuo who forged the imperial edict, it had already caused an impact, and everyone believed it was the emperor's edict.

If Prince Ruyang ran away at this time, what would be the consequences?

Especially when he fled to the south of the Yangtze River and reorganized his troops, what would that mean if it got out to the world? It would mean that the emperor intended to weaken the power of the princes, and Prince Ruyang disobeyed the order and went south to reorganize his troops. This meant he was planning a rebellion!
What impact will this have on the world?

If even the prince rebelled, who in the world couldn't rebel? The fate of Daqian is over!

Therefore, Prince Ruyang would never allow himself to bring such a great impact to the court. Even if it was a false imperial edict, he, Prince Ruyang, would stay in the capital. This was not physical guarding, but a shackle on the soul!

If Prince Ruyang wanted to leave the capital, he had to wait for the emperor's edict.

If there was no imperial edict from the emperor, even if he knew he was framed, he would never leave and would not bring bad influence to the court.

If he did this, there would be only two outcomes: either he would be imprisoned for life.

Either the emperor will vindicate him and arrest Tuotuo!
This is why King Ruyang insisted, and why he refused to listen despite the Living Buddha’s long-term advice.

Zhao Ya understood Prince Ruyang's thoughts and told Wang Baobao about the situation. Wang Baobao looked at the stubborn Prince Ruyang and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the Little Ming King looked at the Ruyang King and said, "Uncle, my father once said, if you keep the green mountains, you will never worry about lack of firewood. Why are you doing this?"

Prince Ruyang looked at Prince Xiao Ming and said with a smile, "You crying little devil, congratulations on your escape, but do you believe what you said? If your father really understood that keeping the green mountains alive is not afraid of running out of firewood, how could he have died in battle at Wending Mountain?"

After saying this, King Ruyang looked at the confused King Xiaoming and said, "Go, kid."

After saying this, Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao and said, "You should hurry up as well. They will be back soon."

After saying this, Zhao Ya and Wang Baobao looked at each other. Knowing that they could not win over King Ruyang, they knelt down and kowtowed. Then they left the Big Buddha Temple. When they were outside, Mei Tu dared to say, "King Ruyang is really stubborn."

As they spoke, the group disappeared into the darkness. After a long time, the large group of people rushed directly back to the Big Buddha Temple.

Tuotuo rushed into the Buddhist hall in a hurry and saw King Ruyang drinking alone there.

"Where's the Little King Ming?"

Tuotuo asked anxiously!
