Chapter 329: Master Fahai (4)
Lu Yu had read a little and knew what the phrase "文恬武喜" meant.
However, the king summoned his ministers to discuss matters. The civil officials set up a banquet at the gate of the palace and ate and drank lavishly. The military generals simply hugged the young lady's soft and slender waist and kissed her in front of the gate of the palace until her mouth was red...
this……
That’s too much!
But King Qingyun acted as if he didn't see anything and let the carriage go straight into the palace. The civil and military officials behind him were in twos and threes, greeting each other, putting down their chopsticks and wine glasses, and comforting the ladies beside them. They were scattered around, without any neat queue, just like a group of defeated bandits, rushing in with the carriage.
Behind them, there were many civil and military officials who were dragging their feet and coming over slowly.
The power of Lu Yi's soul enveloped all directions. Feeling the behavior of these "pillars of the country" of Qingyun Kingdom, he felt that the fact that Qingyun Kingdom had been able to hold on until now without collapse was also thanks to the spiritual power of its ancestors.
Lu Yi entered the palace in a carriage, while Qingyou and the other two girls stayed outside the palace.
The truth was, the three girls had no interest in matters like government wrangling. Outside the south gate of the Qingyun Kingdom's palace, dozens of ornately decorated restaurants were lined up on the edge of a huge square. At dusk, the aroma from the restaurants wafted from far away.
The three girls were greedy, so...
Lu Yi observed the streets along the way and found that on the streets of Qingyun Kingdom, in addition to the tall, handsome natives like Yuan Lingtian with slightly different hair and eye colors, there were also people with black hair and black eyes like Jishengtian.
It seems that what Wanxiang said in Jishengtian is indeed true.
Back then, the Jishengtian cultivation world launched a massive attack on Yuanlingtian and once migrated trillions of people to Yuanlingtian in an effort to erode and cut into Yuanlingtian's luck in heaven and earth... The Jishengtian cultivation world was defeated, and the masters of the sects fell one after another. The Yuanlingtian cultivation world counterattacked the Jishengtian, but these Jishengtian immigrants still remained in various places in Yuanlingtian.
As a minority group, the descendants of immigrants from Jishengtian have a neither good nor bad life in Yuanlingtian. Generally speaking, they are a separate group and live their own lives without interfering with the natives of Yuanlingtian.
In Xiyun City, roughly half of the people are descendants of immigrants from Jishengtian.
Therefore, the three girls from Qingyou were not an eyesore when they appeared on the street. Lu Yi asked Yu Dianhu to send a few people to follow them, and he didn't worry about the rest. The three girls were just greedy and loved to eat. They had been like this since Gaojing...
The furnishings were extremely luxurious, and more like a brothel's private room than a court hall. King Qingyun sat steadily on the throne, while a group of civil and military officials greeted each other with laughter.
"Long time no see!"
"How are you doing lately?"
"Hey, the weather is nice today."
"There are two more prostitutes in Feihua Tower. Can we go and see them together someday?"
Lu Yi stood in the corner of the hall, looking down at the floor that was polished to a smooth shine that could be used as a mirror - he really didn't expect that there would be a court hall in the imperial dynasty with the floor inlaid with gold foil and silver threads, outlining an extremely rich and gorgeous picture of flowers!
What is even more embarrassing is that in the painting of hundreds of flowers, there are actually more than a dozen beauties in gorgeous clothes and simple clothing!
In addition to the floor, the beams, pillars, walls, ceiling caissons, etc. in the hall are also colorful, with extremely bold colors and various decorative patterns, mostly flowers and portraits of beauties.
Really... This place is absolutely qualified to be used as the headquarters of a brothel.
But as a national court, it is really...
The greetings between the civil and military officials finally came down to the same question.
"Outside the city..."
"Shuiyun Temple and Qingyun Temple, are they merged into one?"
"Puchi, monks and nuns are originally from the same family, it is only natural for them to sleep in the same bed!"
"Hahaha, that's a good point. That's very well said."
“However, those Autumn Mountain, Moon Mountain, and those two pagodas are truly breathtaking!”
"Has the person from your family who went to investigate come back?"
"You haven't come back yet? Oh, what a bunch of damn dogs!"
The civil and military officials began to discuss enthusiastically the merger of Shuiyun Temple and Qingyun Temple. They saw with their own eyes that all the halls and pavilions of Shuiyun Temple were moved to the top of the mountain gate of Qingyun Temple and fell down.
The monks and nuns merged , hey, this caused a lot of trouble.
This group of extremely bored nobles of Qingyun country, who have no other pursuits in life except eating, drinking and having fun, are enough for them to discuss this topic over and over again for a whole year.
One after another, the civil and military officials of Qingyun State arrived at the hall slowly and sparsely.
Some ministers who were not in a good position complained in a low voice: "Attending court meetings? What a novelty! It has been three years since we last held a court meeting. When was the last time? Oh, the time when we presented beauties as tribute to the Yan Dynasty..."
"Tsk, could it be that it's time to offer sacrifices again?"
"Calculate the time, it's not right, it's not time yet?"
"Since we are not offering tribute to the Yan Dynasty, which bastard asked us to come to the court? It is a waste of time, a sluggish life, and a waste of life for nothing... Miss Nuanxiang from Zuixianlou and I were testing our strengths when we were dragged here eagerly."
"Ah, I have failed the beauty!"
A group of ministers complained in low and sarcastic voices.
After being in the hall for such a long time, no minister looked at the throne, and no minister noticed that King Qingyun had recovered his health and became energetic and radiant.
Lu Yi shook his head slightly.
King Qingyun stood up, grabbed a purple gold paperweight on the long table in front of him, and slammed it heavily on the table.
With a bang, the two ceremonial officers who were also chatting with their colleagues shuddered in fear, and finally remembered their duties. They straightened their chests, stretched out their voices, and shrilly shouted: "All officials, silence!"
King Qingyun placed his hands on the table, looking down at all the civil and military officials in the court.
All the civil and military officials shuddered with fear and raised their heads in a hurry to look at King Qingyun. Then, several men who looked quite old and were wearing peony robes with hundreds of flowers exclaimed at the same time.
"Hey, Zizhen, what kind of tonic did you take that made you feel so much better?"
"Do you have any secret recipe? Uncle Wang, these days, my waist is sore, my legs are weak, I feel dizzy, and I feel weak all over... The young aunt you just found for me doesn't have the energy to take care of me... If you have a secret recipe, please take care of us uncles!"
"Isn't it... Zizhen, you look so energetic, tut tut, how about we go to Lanyue Tower together later? Let's find some courtesans and have some fun together?"
"Lanyue Tower is a great place... Zizhen, you've been bedridden for so many years, so you probably don't know that Lanyue Tower now has many new and interesting ways to play. Hehe, as long as you have some money and kidneys, hehe, you'll be so happy that you don't want to go home. You can throw away those old hags at home and let them go to a nunnery or a temple as they like."
The corners of Qingyun's mouth twitched, and his face twitched. He could no longer suppress his anger, and finally shouted loudly: "How insolent! It's simply outrageous. You... you... are simply a group of parasites to the country."
A group of civil and military officials were silent. They looked at King Qingyun and blinked their eyes. Finally, a military officer who seemed to have a high status stepped forward cautiously and looked at King Qingyun seriously.
"Why do you say that, Lord? You are a pest of the country...hiss..."
The general gasped and looked at Lord Qingyun as if he had seen a ghost: "Lord , are you going to do it again like you did in those years... You, you, you, you, want to make trouble again?"
A group of civil and military officials all changed color.
They looked at Lord Qingyun in horror.
The face of the Lord of Qingyun State darkened. He looked at these ministers, waved his hand gently, and said weakly: "Isn't what happened back then a long time ago? I summoned you all here today because I want to pass on a message to you."
"Qingyun Temple and Shuiyun Temple merged and became Jinshan Temple... Master Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple and a true master of Taoism. As the ruler of Qingyun State, I appoint Master Fahai as the State Master of Qingyun State. All ceremonials and treatments will be equal to mine... In the future, when you see Master Fahai, it will be like seeing me!"
Carrying a heavy Zen stick, Lu Yi walked step by step from the corner of the hall to the side of King Qingyun.
He looked at the civil and military officials in the court and said calmly, "How are you, my ministers? I am the abbot of Jinshan Temple. I am loved by the king and appointed as the national teacher. I will definitely protect Qingyun Kingdom and ensure peace and prosperity for the people."
Holding a Zen stick in his left hand, Lu Yi raised his right palm to protect his chest and bowed gently to all the civil and military officials in the court.
A group of civil and military officials were silent for a long time, and then they started shouting in unison.
"Oh my, I was so scared, what did I think was going on?"
"Isn't it just to appoint a national teacher? Oh, I thought the king was going to raise troops to fight again."
"Oh, how can it be so easy? In our Qingyun Kingdom, where are the soldiers and horses that can be used? So, there is no need to worry about this!"
"Shuiyun Temple and Qingyun Temple merged into Jinshan Temple? Tsk, this great monk Fahai looks really dignified."
"Hehe, I don't know what this national teacher is good at. Is it making old trees sprout new buds? Or giving birth to children? Hehe!"
Talking about the original business of Shuiyun Temple and Qingyun Temple, the civil and military officials in the main hall laughed at the same time. Their laughter was very loud, and the main hall was filled with a kind of ambiguous, indescribable, but everyone knew that there was a joyful atmosphere.
Lu Yi looked at this group of messy guys, raised his Zen stick high in his left hand, and then hit the ground heavily.
The ground was intact, but the entire hall shook violently.
Waves of terrifying air rushed out with a roar, knocking all the civil and military officials in the court to the ground and scaring them so much that they wailed in unison.
Lu Yi shouted "Silence" and a terrifying spiritual pressure descended from nowhere. All the civil and military officials in the court suddenly felt a sharp pain in their heads. They were like turtles crushed by a huge millstone and could no longer move at all.
"From today on, I am Fahai, the Imperial Master of Qingyun."
"You guys...are just a bunch of scumbags. I don't want to argue with you."
"From today on, if I tell you to go east, you are not allowed to go west... If I tell you to catch a dog, you are not allowed to chase a chicken... In short, you must do whatever I tell you to do. If you disobey me in the slightest..."
Outside the hall, a sneer was heard: "What a big tone!"
With a clang, a bright and sparkling flying sword with a three-meter-long cold light flew in from outside the hall and pierced Lu Yi's heart.
