Chapter 724: Plan and move

Zhao Huan's face was dim and seemed to be hesitating. Finally, his eyes fell on Li Bangyan and said, "What do you think Li's subordinates think?"

Li Bangyan thought for a while and said, "Scholars can use it, but the variables are also very large. If they are used well, they are naturally easy to say, but if they are not used well, they will suffer. Instead of doing so, it is better to use the court officials."

Cheng Jiang only thought that Li Bangyan was targeting him and made him lose face in front of the prince. As the prince's first confidant, although Cheng Jiang was polite to Li Bangyan, he was also wary of him. If the prince ascended the throne in the future, he would have long regarded this as his own private pocket. Now that Li Bangyan's variable is the variable, he is not sure.

He stroked his beard and laughed, saying, "Does the subordinate Li think that Chen Ao has no followers? Then the dispute will happen, I'm afraid it will be another confused lawsuit. According to His Majesty's character, there will be a loud thunder and less rain."

Li Bangyan sighed and stopped talking. How could he not know Cheng Jiang’s mind? If he argued with him at this time, then he would not talk about dealing with King Pingxi, he would be afraid that the prince’s backyard would catch fire. Instead of doing so, it would be better to bear this breath. Besides, Cheng Jiang’s idea is not bad, and there is no need to make a fuss with him to the point of breaking up with him.

Zhao Huan said unsteadily: "The King of Pingxi is the regent of the Western Xia Dynasty and the prince-in-law. I am afraid that even if he is plotting against the enemy, he may not be able to take his life."

Cheng Jiang said: "As long as he can drive him away, it will be almost the same as death. It will be no longer late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. When His Highness ascends to the top, he will launch his army to conquer Xixia again. Even if Chen Ao can escape to the horizon, what can he do?"

Zhao Huan nodded slowly and said, "What you said makes sense, so Lord Cheng will do this." His eyes fell on Li Bangyan, and he smiled and said, "You still have to contact the court officials!" Then he looked at the two people in front of him and said, "Please ask both of you for everything."

Cheng Jiang and Li Bangyan said together: "Why did Your Majesty say this? I will serve Your Highness and die before I die. How dare I not do my best?"

Zhao Huan stood up, clenched his fists excitedly and said, "I have always been disliked by my father. Now the prince is extremely cowardly. Sometimes I think it is better to be born in the home of the people than to be a good thing." He said angrily: "But today, if I continue to be weak, my life will be lost sooner or later. I will not be willing to bear such a day. If that is the case, let the father know that his eldest son, the prince of the Eastern Palace of the Song Dynasty, is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be pinched randomly."

Cheng Jiang said seriously: "Your Highness is the crown prince, and he is the crown prince of a country. He is justified and naturally he cannot be deceived."

Li Bangyan closed his eyes, but remembered something and said lightly: "Your Highness, this time, it's better to bring the third prince together..."

When Zhao Huan heard this, his face suddenly changed and he angrily said, "Nothing is the nonsense. The third prince is my brother. How can he be a tyrant? Besides, the third prince is not involved in this matter and there is no ironclad evidence, so how can he be involved?"

Li Bangyan sneered, "It is precisely because of the third prince that the position of the prince seems embarrassing. Now Chen Ao has been raising dead soldiers. Isn't it related to the third prince? Even if the King of Pingxi is powerful, he will never usurp the throne as the emperor. At least he has to support someone. Who is this person not the third prince? Your Highness is kind, but he doesn't know that Your Highness regards him as a brother. If the Third Prince has some brotherly feelings, how can he get along with the King of Pingxi and make things difficult for Your Highness?"

After hearing this, Cheng Jiang also advised: "It will be easier to get rid of Chen Ao first, and the third prince will be there. Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much."

Zhao Huan was silent for a moment and said, "I think about it again."

He sat down blankly and began to ponder.

Li Bangyan and Cheng Jiang looked at each other, of course they knew the prince’s thoughts. What the prince was thinking about day and night was nothing more than getting rid of Zhao Kai. It was just because of brotherhood. How could he nodded with joy at this time? He always had to take the air first and make a gesture. He could only discuss this matter calmly, so he said together: "Your Highness, the old minister said goodbye."

Zhao Huan, whether it was true or hypocritical, said deliberately: "Let's leave so quickly? I have already asked someone to prepare a meal."

Li Bangyan smiled and said, "You can't stay here for too long to avoid suspicion." Cheng Jiang also said, "You must always avoid suspicion, so as not to let those who are interested use it as a handle."

Zhao Huan had no choice but to stand up reluctantly, hold the hands of the two, tears came out of their eyes, and hold Li Bangyan and Cheng Jiang and said, "If there were no two ministers, I would be harmed by traitors sooner or later. If I have wealth in the future, I will definitely share it with the two adults."

Seeing Zhao Huan crying, the two of them did not dare to remain indifferent. Cheng Jiang was also crying and gritted his teeth and said, "The traitor is in power, how can the old minister sit down and watch? Your Highness is the most important thing to take care of your health." Li Bangyan sighed and said, "Your Highness must not do this. It is the duty of the minister to protect the lord."

Zhao Huan sent them out of the hall, said a few words before saying, "I am not convenient to send them away from home."

The two nodded and quickly left towards the back door.

The tears in Zhao Huan's eyes disappeared, replaced by a frost on his face. He was silent for a moment and said, "Come!"

A chief eunuch came over carefully: "What are your instructions?"

Zhao Huan said lightly: "Who saw it when the two lords came in?"

The eunuch in charge said, "The old slave has sent away all the servitude, only the old slave has seen it."

Zhao Huanheshou said, "That's good." After saying that, he said, "That's how the prince is. Beware of this and that. He is worried every day, and I don't know when it will be more open and upright."

The eunuch in charge said nervously: "Your Highness is careful of your words."

Zhao Huan snorted coldly and said, "I have heard this too much and got bored with it. What should I come after all, what are you afraid of?" After that, he returned to the hall with his sleeves.

The eunuch in charge shook his head and obediently chased after him.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It is not far from Bianjing to Xiangguo Temple. After leaving the inner city, you can see the magnificent buildings all the way. However, the Bianjing City is already large in scale, and it is difficult to walk with your family. Chen Ao and Chen Ao are riding horses bored. By the time you arrive at Xiangguo Temple, an hour has passed.

The name of Xiangguo Temple began in the Tang Dynasty. It was originally the former residence of Wuji, the Prince of Wei during the Warring States Period. Therefore, there is a Xinling Pavilion and a ancestral hall of Xinlingjun on the side of Xiangguo Temple. People who come to Xiangguo Temple can't help but sit in Xinling Pavilion to admire Xinlingjun's style.

Xinling Pavilion was built in the early Song Dynasty, so the architectural style is very similar to that of the Song Dynasty. In front of it is a archway and a ritual gate. Two lush trees are strolling along the stone steps. Chen Ao only took two lieutenants to the pavilion and then returned to the team. His eyes looked at the buildings of Xinling Pavilion with a faint look and said to the left and right: "I was so majestic when Xinling Jun was there, but now there are only a few bricks and wood left. It's really sad."

The lieutenants were all ink in their stomachs. They knew that Chen Ao was talking about the rise and fall of the ages, and they couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

Not far from Xinling Pavilion is Xiangguo Temple. Xiangguo Temple has a special significance in the Song Dynasty. It was originally a royal temple as early as the Taizu period. The famous monks in the temple also received the honor of titles given by the emperor. Therefore, their status is much more transcendent. Before they even approached the temple gate, they saw a cloud of pilgrims gathering, mixed with many gorgeous carriages and horses. When Chen Ao's team appeared, they found that there was no place to park the carriage nearby. Chen Ao got off the horse and attracted his family. An Ning got married shortly after, and she had been in the palace for a long time. She rarely saw such a bustle. Seeing the magnificent towers and magnificent mountain gates in the distance, her cheeks were a little red, and her eyes were flashing with colorful luster. She couldn't help but say to Chen Ao excitedly: "Is this Xiangguo Temple? I often hear people say that the temples are all pure and worshipped by monks to practice. Why is it so lively here?"

Chen Ao certainly cannot say that most temples and bald donkeys are economic industries, and there is no difference between them and shops and tea shops. He smiled faintly and said, "There are so many temples in the world. The more pilgrims, the more incense the Bodhisattvas can receive? No?"

Zhao Ziheng held An Ning's hand and said innocently and romanticly: "Does the Bodhisattva eat incense?"

Zhou Ruo came over the lotus step behind and giggled, "The Bodhisattva eats nothing, and he eats everything. The Lotus Sutra says that Bodhisattvas are countless incarnations and boundless incarnations? So what Bodhisattvas eat depends only on the preferences of sentient beings."

After all, Zhou Ruo often goes to the Buddhist temple to listen to Mrs. Zhou chanting sutras, and he has some attainments in Buddhist scriptures, at least he can tell that he is Chou and Yin and Mao.

Zhenzhen smiled charmingly and said, "In my opinion, we should ask our family's talented man is. What do you think Tang Caizi?"

Tang Moer was a little embarrassed and said, "Don't make fun of me. The saint only said to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. Let's go in and worship them."

Zhao Ziheng shouted, "If you go in and ask those monks later, you will know what the Bodhisattva has eaten."

Chen Ao said in his heart that three women are in a play, four women are in a table of mahjong, and now there are so many women, enough to play two opera teams, and it is indeed difficult to deal with. So he scratched his head awkwardly and whispered: "Can I say a word?"

An Ning smiled and said, "The prince must have a wonderful word, please speak it out quickly."

Chen Ao coughed and said, "It seems that the worship of this temple is not a Bodhisattva, but the worship of the Arhats is clearly a worshiper."

Everyone laughed, but Zhao Ziheng became serious: "What else did the Arhat eat?"

Chun'er, who had been silent, said: "What the Arhat eats is the same as the Bodhisattva eats."

Zhao Ziheng kept chattering: "But what else does the Bodhisattva eat?"

An Ning slapped Zhao Ziheng's hand and said, "Okay, okay, we ordinary people, what do we do about gods and Buddhas? Let's go and sing incense sticks later."

Zhao Ziheng pursed his lips and said, "Okay, go back and ask my dad."
