Chapter 151 Conspiracy
Hearing what he said, Qiu Chuji still couldn't understand, and said: "Even if they don't know that Senior Brother has passed away, this imperial seal is still granted to Senior Brother. What's the difference between knowing and not knowing?"
"Of course there is a big difference." The difference." Wang Chuyi said: "If the elder brother is alive, he will receive the imperial title, but now that the elder brother has passed away, he should receive the posthumous title. Although the difference between the posthumous title and the imperial title is only one letter, according to the convention, it is higher than the posthumous title." The title is one level higher." After
he explained this, Qiu Chuji finally understood, clapped his hands and said: "In this way, our Quanzhen Sect can use this as an excuse to refuse to accept the imperial edict, and this imperial edict will not be granted." It's tantamount to invalidation."
Wang Chuyi smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason."
Qiu Chuji pondered for a while, and said happily: "I think this plan is feasible, but before the imperial edict came down, the news of the elder brother's death did not come out." It can't be spread to the ears of Mongolian people, otherwise there will be a change."
"I also thought that this would be disadvantageous, so we have to take Zhijing out of the Mongolian army camp as soon as possible, then Kublai Khan will know the news, It's also too late." Wang Chuyi said.
"Since that's the case, what are we waiting for? Let's go and bid farewell to Kublai Khan now." Qiu Chuji vetoed it on his own right after he said this, shaking his head and said, "Concerned about chaos, let's go tomorrow, lest Kublai Lie is suspicious." The
two of them finished their discussion and went back to the big tent, waiting for Kublai Khan to release Zhao Zhijing from the prison tomorrow, then they said goodbye and left.
But Zhao Zhijing, he was taken down again when King Qiu and King Qiu went to see Kublai Khan, and was locked in a prison.
It is said to be a prison, but in fact it is just a cage built with logs in the open space. Dozens of hundreds of prisoners are in it. There is a gate outside, and the gate is locked with iron chains.
Of course, Zhao Zhijing's real identity was different from that of a prisoner, so he received preferential treatment. He was given a cage by himself.
The reason why Zhao Zhijing was really imprisoned in the cage was naturally due to Kublai Khan's caution. This plan has been planned for many days. It has progressed to a critical point, and it is absolutely impossible to miss the trick and be noticed by the two of Qiu and Wang, otherwise the success will fall short.
At this time Zhao Zhijing was leaning crookedly on the fence. Just sitting on the cold ground, with only a thin layer of thatch to warm his body, but he didn't care about it.
He was extremely anxious right now, it was already completely dark, and no one came to inform him of the news. I don't know how the negotiations in the account are going.
While he was thinking wildly, he saw a person coming with a lantern. When he got closer, he saw that it was Jinlun Guoshi.
He hurriedly asked: "Master, how is the matter going now? Did my master and uncle agree to our terms?"
Master Jinlunguo ordered the guarding warrior to open the iron lock and said, "The matter has been settled, old man I came to congratulate the Taoist priest, and now the Taoist priest doesn't have to stoop to stay here anymore."
Zhao Zhijing couldn't suppress his excitement, and said: "That's very good"
and asked: "Then I can go back now?"
Jinlun Kingdom The master said: "The matter has been accomplished, the Taoist priest can go back originally. But the Taoist priest said, if you want the Taoist priest to suffer more, there is no need to release you immediately."
Zhao Zhijing smiled bitterly when he heard the words, looking a little Awkward.
Jinlun Guoshi said again: "Whether to stay or not, the Taoist priest can decide on his own. If not, I have something to discuss with the Taoist priest."
Zhao Zhijing was not willing to suffer the cold here, and hurriedly said: "Master, both Master should be the most important thing."
Jin Lun Guoshi nodded, then turned and walked away, Zhao Zhijing followed closely.
Just a moment. The two arrived in a tent, Zhao Zhijing saw that the tent was empty, only a wooden box was placed on the ground, he couldn't help asking: "What is this box for?"
Jinlun Guoshi said: "This is a gift from the prince. Taoist priest's parting gift. Taoist priest might as well open the box and see for yourself what's inside."
Zhao Zhijing stepped forward and half opened the lid of the box, and a silver light flashed into his eyes, so startled that his hands trembled, and he almost fell asleep. Can't hold the lid steady.
He hastily glanced again, and saw that it was a box full of silver ingots. With a "bang", the box was closed again.
"What... Master, what does this mean?" Zhao Zhijing asked with an unnatural trembling tone.
Jinlun Guoshi smiled and said: "Didn't the old man already explain it just now? This is naturally a gift from the prince to the Taoist
priest." After Zhao Zhijing heard this time, he couldn't recover for a while, and caressed the box with both hands After a while, he stood up.
It is clear,
This box of silver ingots has completely moved him.
However, he still pretended to be courteous, and declined: "My lord and master have helped Xiaodao so much, Xiaodao is already deeply grateful, how can I receive a gift from my lord again?"
Jinlun Guoshi said: "You don't have to decline, Taoist priest. Now that I have formed an alliance, we should advance together and retreat together. If the prince encounters difficulties in the future, I hope the Taoist priest will not forget today's gift."
Zhao Zhijing said gratefully: "I don't dare to forget one day, Do your best to share the worries of the prince." When a
person is faced with a choice, the most difficult thing to take is the first step. Once the first step has been taken, the second and third steps are much easier.
Zhao Zhijing's mental state was like this. If he had a lot of worries about serving Kublai Khan at the beginning, now he has begun to feel at ease.
Jinlun Guoshi nodded and said: "This silver is used for the Taoist priest to make more people with lofty ideals in the teaching, so as to help the Taoist priest to open up the situation in the teaching as soon as possible. How to do things, don't use the old monk Isn't it too much to say?"
Zhao Zhijing only felt smug when he got this fortune, and said a little proudly: "This is not enough for Master to worry about. The Quanzhen Sect has no people or places that I am not familiar with. What is the problem?"
Jin Lun Guoshi said: "It's just right, but this box of silver is too conspicuous, and it's inconvenient for the Taoist priest to carry it with you, so I will arrange someone to contact the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest will pay for it Just find the contact person to get it."
Zhao Zhijing had this intention, so he immediately agreed.
On the second day, as soon as Zhao Zhijing and Qiu Chuji met Wang Chu, the three bid farewell to Kublai Khan.
Kublai Khan said: "UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Why don't the two priests wait a few days before leaving? It will take some time before the imperial edict comes down. I also take this time to ask some questions about Taoism. The two priests ask for advice."
Wang Chuyi said: "There are important matters in the teaching that need to be dealt with urgently, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. When I have free time in the future, the old Taoist will come to communicate with the prince."
Kublai said with great regret: "Since it is so, I also I won't force them to stay."
He personally sent Qiu, Wang, and Zhao to the gate of Daying, and said: "The Taoist priests will go slowly all the way, so let's leave here."
After the two bowed and said goodbye, they didn't stay any longer. He brought Zhao Zhijing to the resting place, called the two Quanzhen Sect disciples who were with him when he came up, and hurried back to Quanzhen Sect all the way.
