"Your Majesty the Great Han Dynasty, we have come from thousands of miles to promote Buddhism to your country. This is a good deed, so why do we treat us so rudely?" A bald monk stood up in a panic and roared at Liu Bian.

This opening was not only Ye Zhao, but even the Chinese civil and military officials of the court could not help but frown.

Although Liu Bian is just a puppet, and all civil and military officials do not care about Liu Bian on weekdays, he is still the emperor of the Han Dynasty. When facing the Gentile envoys, he represents the face of the entire Han Dynasty.

The Kucha envoy did not say that they would wait for the civil and military officials in the court. After going to the palace, they would not worship. Instead, they would ask their grandsons to speak to the emperor. This time, they would call the civil and military officials in the court, including the group of Central Plains who later came to support Liu Bian, were dissatisfied.

What's even more terrible is that Liu Bian really regarded himself as his grandson. After the Kucha monk finished speaking, he even stood up and wanted to come down. He laughed and said, "Don't blame me, that Dian Wei is a reckless man..."

"Your Majesty!" Ye Zhao interrupted Liu Bian directly, pointed to the dragon chair and said, "Please go back and sit down. I, the Han Dynasty, can't afford to lose this person!"

"Prime Minister!" Liu Bian was a little dissatisfied. He no longer wanted to get involved in power, and he had to be restrained in his behavior.

"Please go back!" Ye Zhao looked up and looked directly at Liu Bian. Although his tone was gentle, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became depressed.

"I..." Liu Bian didn't know if he had been suppressed under Ye Zhao's power for a long time. This time, he did not sit down according to Ye Zhao's wishes, but instead said with his neck: "Prime Minister, I have ignored the military and political affairs of the court, and everything is based on the Prime Minister. However, this Buddhist teachings in the east are beneficial to the future. I intend to promote this matter, so what's wrong?"

"If Buddhism is really useful, how could Kucha become my Han vassal state?" Ye Zhao rubbed his temples. Is it too late for people who are almost thirty to enter the rebellious period?

"That's because Kucha is located in a remote place. I believe that if it was introduced to our great Han Dynasty, it would be able to prosper Buddhism." Liu Bian said loudly.

"Okay, just as Your Majesty said, can you ask Your Majesty to sit down first? Your Majesty is my Emperor of Han. Even if you are wrong, just Kucha can't stand Your Majesty's apology." Ye Zhao took a deep breath. In front of all the civil and military officials, he still wanted to give Liu Bian some face, not to mention that there were envoys from other countries in the hall.

"No, this matter is indeed because my great man is negligent. As the emperor, I should set an example and apologize to several masters." Liu Bian saw that Ye Zhao was rarely weak and his spirit was even more energetic.

When the ministers heard this, they shook their heads helplessly. Even the scholars who supported Liu Bian were speechless at this moment. If Liu Bian was so strong in some important matters on weekdays, they would be very happy, but they were stubborn with Ye Zhao in such matters. If Ye Zhao agreed or not, they would find it difficult to recognize them.

Several Kucha people were happy to see that the ruler and ministers of the Han Dynasty were incompatible. They knew that Ye Zhao's name was. Now, depending on the situation, it was clear that the ruler was weak and the ministers were strong. If the operation was done properly, it would not only allow Buddhism to spread to the east, but perhaps it could go further.

"Okay, since Your Majesty insists on this, it's not easy for me to stop me." Ye Zhao sighed and persuaded him. He was too lazy to say more. Liu Bian wanted to apologize, so he apologized.

"Dian Wei!" Ignoring Liu Bian, Ye Zhao turned his head and shouted outside the hall.

"The last one is here!" Dian Wei's iron tower-like body appeared at the door.

"In a while, His Majesty has finished apologizing. He will pull these Kucha monks out and chop them up!" Ye Zhao said calmly.

"Here!" Dian Wei bowed, stepped forward, and stared at a group of Kucha monks.

"This..." A group of Kucha monks changed their expressions. They could be sent to serve as envoys. They were naturally proficient in Chinese and could understand what Ye Zhao said. They had looked gloating at the quarrel between the Han people and the king and the ministers, but why did they end up being unlucky? These Han people are too domineering, right?

"Prime Minister, why is this?" Liu Bian's face turned red and he stared at Ye Zhao and said angrily.

"The so-called family scandals should not be made public. Your Majesty apologized to a group of foreign countries, which would hurt the national body. If these people spread, how can I have the face of my great man?" Ye Zhao said coldly: "So, if Your Majesty insists on apologizing, I will not stop you, but these people must not go out from here alive!"

"You..." Liu Bian was also furious and pointed at the civil and military officials in the court and said, "Then they have seen it, will the Prime Minister kill them together?"

After the words came, Ye Zhao's people did not respond much. Ye Zhao could not have killed them because of these few words, but a group of scholars who surrendered changed their faces. Who did they provoke whom? Although they were loyal to Liu Bian and had already claimed their determination to sacrifice their lives for the country before coming, it was too worthwhile to sell them because of several monks from foreign countries.

"There are all my great men present, how could it be rumored?" Ye Zhao looked at Liu Bian with a funny look. Before he could deal with these people, Liu Bian had to deal with them first?

"What if it spreads out?" Liu Bian said unyieldingly.

"Then in order to defend the dignity of my great Han." Ye Zhao's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers with ugly faces and said calmly: "There is no need for Kucha. Although our army does not have many soldiers in the Western Regions, we can invite all the countries in the Western Regions to kill them in the name of Kucha's collision with our great Han emperor. I think that if I have never harmed Kucha, I will be willing to cooperate with our great Han. In addition, the countries in the Western Regions all rely on our great Han's breath to gather a hundred thousand troops. At that time, it is like taking a piece of cake."

"Puff~" Liu Bian was so angry that he couldn't speak, but several monks knelt down directly.

"Your Majesty, we should not be arrogant, nor should we be tempted by your Majesty and the envoys of the Han Dynasty wait here. I hope your Majesty will forgive you and ask your Majesty to pity me, the people of Kuzhe are struggling to survive, don't talk about it again!" Several Kuzhe monks knelt on the ground and knocked the ground loudly.

They could see that the Emperor of Han had no real power at all. They had the idea of ​​controlling the Emperor through the Emperor, but now it seems that they are seeking death. With this so-called prime minister here, if the emperor's orders are not to mention controlling the Emperor, they may not even be able to get out of the palace. They are simply looking for the wrong direction.

Liu Bian felt a deep sense of frustration in his heart. He glanced at Ye Zhao, sat back on the dragon throne with a pale face, and said with a dark face: "Since I know my mistake, Nian'er and others will not pursue it."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Zhao carefully.

Ye Zhao did not force him too much. In fact, if Liu Bian had not been ignorant and the little tricks of these Kucha monks here, Ye Zhao would not have made the relationship between the monarch and the ministers so ripped up now, and he would have wanted to spread Buddhism to the east? And by means, these Kucha people did not think about taking regular ways to promote their Buddhism from the beginning, but thought about cholera men to make profits from it. In this way, the Kucha Kingdom could not be kept.

"I wonder what is important to me, a great man when the Kucha envoy is sent to me this time?" Liu Bian felt relieved when he saw that Ye Zhao did not respond, and at the same time he was a little scared. When his mind was hot just now, he became more and more scared. Now he thought about it.

"Return to His Majesty of the Han Dynasty, our Kucha Kingdom has been in wars in recent years, and the weather has been drought and the people are in distress. This time, we are here to exchange our Kucha national treasure for some funding from the Han Dynasty. We will wait for our Kucha Kingdom to overcome difficulties in the future and redeem the national treasure." The monk in charge said.

"What national treasure is it?" Liu Bian said with great interest.

"Please watch it." The monk hurriedly ordered the novice monk behind him to carry the three boxes.

"This is the Buddha bone relics left by a great monk who sat in the transformation a hundred years ago in Kutz!" The monk opened a box and introduced to Liu Bian.

"What is Buddha's bone relics?" Liu Bian said inexplicably.

The monk smiled slightly and said, "Anyone who has profound Buddhist teachings will not be able to destroy their bodies after passing away. This Buddha bone relic is the most pure Buddha bone left by a great monk, containing endless Buddha power!"

"In other words, what is left after the dead burned?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Maybe the customs of the foreign countries are different from the Han Dynasty. In our Han Dynasty, the things left by the dead will be accompanied by yin energy, which is filthy, and will be ominous!"

"You..." The monk glared at Ye Zhao and said in a cold voice: "Is the Prime Minister insulting me, the eminent monk in Kuz?"

"There is no such intention. I just tell you the difference between Kucha and the Han Dynasty. You regard it as a treasure and I regard it as a filth. This is a difference in cultural customs. If Erdeng wants it, I can let the soldiers dig a lot one another day, and it doesn't matter if I give it to you!" Ye Zhao said calmly.

The Huns were burned and the Xianbei people were killed more than 100,000. There is really no shortage of such things in the Han Dynasty now.

"How can great monks be compared to ordinary people?" The monk in Kucha said angrily.

"The Buddha said that the four elements are empty, and everything is illusory. Since this is the case, great masters and monks are also illusory. Then isn't this thing left behind also illusory?" Ye Zhao said calmly: "You regard this thing as a treasure, and you have already deviated from the essence of Buddhism. Now you still present this illusory thing as a national treasure. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"The Prime Minister also understands Buddhism?" the monk said in surprise.

"I know a little bit." Ye Zhao said calmly: "If the national treasures you mentioned are all of this kind, there is no need to show them. I, countless wise men of great men, and my civil and military officials present, are all pillars of my great men. I want to use such things to exchange for food and grass support, but I am a delusion. Your country should take out some practical things."

When the ministers heard this, they nodded. Although the four states are now prosperous and richer under Ye Zhao's governance, they are not able to exchange money and food for a few bone lumps.

"Then I don't know what the Prime Minister wants?" the monk frowned.

"First talk about how much support you need?" Ye Zhao asked.

"There are millions of food and grass, and the cattle and sheep are thousands of! "The monk said hurriedly.

"Absurd! Just because I just had three toys, I wanted to exchange my annual tax for the Han Dynasty?" Taifu Yang Xu was furious when he heard this.

"Tao Fu is angry!" Ye Zhao waved his hand and looked at the monk and said, "You can give these things to you, but when can you return them?"

"Uh...ten years!" The monk said without blushing.

As soon as these words came out, the whole court exploded.

Ye Zhao waved his hand, signaling the ministers to quit, and looked at the Kucha monk and said, "It's not long, but I have to decide what is mortgaged."

"Please tell the Prime Minister." The monk in Kucha bowed and said.

"There are sixteen cities in Kucha, and eight are used as collateral. Ten years later, if you can pay back the eight cities, you will be able to return them all, but if you cannot, you will not occupy them. But every year, you will need to pay back one percent of the food and grass to return them!" Ye Zhao looked at the monk in Kucha and said.

"This is impossible!" The Kucha monk refused directly.

"The conditions are here, eight cities, and each city needs at least 5,000 people. If you are willing, our army can immediately distribute food and livestock. If you don't want to, we will not force it. But it would be a dream to think that my great man will give you free!" Ye Zhao said calmly: "Actually, you are not a loss. In ten years, my great man will only manage the city. If you can pay off the food, grass and livestock you owed, you can not only overcome the current crisis, but also obtain eight more solid and prosperous cities. Why not do it?"

"This... we can't make decisions." Several monks said with ugly expressions.

"Then please ask someone who can make the decision." Ye Zhao said calmly: "The conditions are here, and you can leave."
