Chapter 329 Heartbeat
Xiao Rang smiled. Although Cui Yan refused, the expression on his face couldn't deceive him, and he was still moved.
Let me ask, which civil servant would not have the ideal and ambition to dominate the world.
Xiao Rang had already expected this. With Cui Yan's qualifications, he was indeed qualified to sit in this position, and no one dared to object.
Xiao Rang shook his head and laughed, "Cui Shangshu was wrong. Our Taoist sect supported King Cheng just in case. We did not place our hope on King Cheng. He is not worthy."
Dare to say that the prince of a country is unworthy, I am afraid only the top sects in the world like Dao Sect dare to do so.
Cui Yan nodded naturally and didn't think it was strange. King Cheng was a dandy prince. He didn't want King Cheng to ascend the throne. He might as well have King Yan ascend the throne.
On this point, he had similar thoughts to many ministers.
He can be regarded as an old minister of the Qin Dynasty. He is dedicated to serving the country. Although he has selfish motives, they are limited.
Therefore, Emperor Qin, despite the pain of losing his son, acquitted Ji Chuan and even reinstated his official position despite the solid evidence.
It can be imagined how angry Cui Yan was at that time, because Ji Chuandao's heart-planting magic technique took advantage of him.
Invisibly, the hatred in Cui Yan's heart was amplified in an extreme direction, magnified countless times.
At this time, Cui Yan's demonic roots were deeply rooted.
Cui Yan asked softly, "What is your purpose?"
After saying that, Cui Yan felt something was inappropriate and quickly changed the subject, "Of course, if it's not convenient to say it, forget it."
Xiao Rang smiled vaguely, knowing that Cui Yan was interested and he took the bait.
Curiosity will indeed make a person sink deeper and deeper, and greed in his heart. Combining the two, Xiao Rang is confident to convince the Lord Shangshu in front of him.
Xiao Rang waved his hand quickly, "I have asked Mr. Cui today, so how could I hide the truth from Mr. Cui? Wouldn't it be like shooting myself in the foot?
Even though our Taoist sect is a foreign sect, we will not do this kind of loss-making business, haha. "
Cui Yan was noncommittal and didn't express any reaction to what Xiao Rang said, quietly waiting for his next words.
Xiao Rang suppressed his smile and said, "The Emperor of Qin secretly ordered the Jinyi Guards to weaken the power of the Taoist sect, and promised that if Shaolin can stop our Taoist sect's offensive, he will make Shaolin the state religion of Great Qin and promise Shaolin to promote Buddhism throughout Great Qin."
Xiao Rang said these words with great solemnity.
Shaolin and Taoist sects have been mortal enemies since ancient times, but they only stopped fighting if they couldn't do anything to each other.
Everyone knows that Shaolin and Taoism will have a battle sooner or later, it’s just a matter of time.
No matter what kind of conspiracy Emperor Qin had in mind, Taoism would not let it succeed.
Even if he goes to war with Great Qin, he will not hesitate.
This is the determination of the Taoist sect. If Shaolin is allowed to build temples extensively and the power of Buddhism expands unprecedentedly, it will be too late to react by then.
By then, Taoism will have to break its muscles and bones, and it may not be Shaolin's opponent.
Cui Yan's expression changed slightly. Even though he had heard Xiao Rang say it before, he still found it incredible when he heard about it again.
What does His Majesty want to do?
What benefit does this have to the court? Do you really think that the court can benefit from the competition between Taoism and Shaolin?
How can it be!
Cui Yan directly ruled out this possibility in his mind. Can the court think of it, but those old guys from Shaolin and Taoism can't think of it?
No one is a fool.
Cui Yan's first feeling was that this matter must not have been done by Emperor Qin.
He has followed His Majesty for the longest time in the court, and he knows His Majesty best. In the past, His Majesty was so talented and strategizing that he defeated the foreigners one after another.
I don’t know since when, His Majesty has completely changed.
Despite this, Cui Yan still found it hard to believe that His Majesty would make such a commitment to Shaolin.
Cui Yan shook his head absentmindedly and muttered to himself, "It's impossible. This matter must not have come from His Majesty's mouth."
Xiao Rang was slightly surprised, "It doesn't matter whether it comes from Emperor Qin. The most important thing is to take back the promise, otherwise our Taoist sect will definitely not give up."
Cui Yan glanced at Xiao Rang and said resolutely, "Master Xiao is joking. This matter is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty is so eloquent, how can you take back what you promised?"
Xiao Rang shrugged. He might have known this would be the case, so he was not surprised at all. "Therefore, our Taoist sect will definitely overthrow Emperor Qin's rule. No matter who ascends the throne, this promise will be broken."
Listening to Xiao Rang's openness and unabashed disobedience, Cui Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, but she didn't say anything.
If it had happened in the past, he would have scolded Xiao Rang for being without a king and a father, and then ask His Majesty for a copy of the Taoist sect.
Unfortunately, today, from the moment His Majesty acquitted Ji Chuan, he has been disappointed in His Majesty, completely disappointed.
Therefore, there was no disturbance in his heart. In the final analysis, he was completely disappointed with Emperor Qin, and there was a faint expectation in his heart.
"Then what if after the new emperor ascends the throne, he follows the previous emperor's will and insists on establishing Shaolin as the state religion?" Cui Yan calmed down and asked curiously.
"Then continue to depose the new emperor!" Xiao Rang said in an unquestionable tone. He was extremely confident in what he said. With the combined strength of the three great sects, they can indeed do this.
Although the imperial enshrinement hall has the strength to resist, whoever is willing to fight with the Taoist sect will lose more than the gain.
In the end, there will still be compromises. In the past, the Great Qin Enshrinement Hall had compromised countless times for the sake of the country's stability, so that many Jianghu forces swarmed up and gradually surpassed the imperial court in strength, so that they could not lose their tail.
Cui Yan's expression changed again and again, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Taoism's heart was so decisive. It seemed that he might succeed this time.
Thinking of this, a dead heart began to come alive again, his eyes looked like he was thinking, and his mind was churning with thoughts.
Xiao Rang said solemnly, "Our Taoist sect has received news that in the next few days, Emperor Qin will announce that Shaolin will become the state religion of the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, your Excellency only needs to step forward to oppose on behalf of the officials, raise your arms and make a call, and followers will surely gather. "
The thought made Cui Yan's heart flutter, but was immediately extinguished.
Although the idea is good, it is unrealistic.
Not to mention whether the courtiers are united, he is only of the second rank, far from the power of being able to respond to a hundred responses at once.
This kind of thing has happened before, but who was the leader? He was the head of the hundred officials, the person His Majesty relied on, and there was a secret push from behind, making His Majesty unable to move, so he survived.
How can he be so virtuous?
Xiao Rang obviously saw what Cui Yan was worried about and said bluntly, "Master Cui, don't worry, you just need to remonstrate to the death and prevent this matter from being finalized. Our Taoist sect will handle the rest."
Besides, it is not an honorable thing to overthrow Emperor Qin, so why do you do it in public and in the court? "
When Cui Yan heard this, he realized that he had been thinking wrong all the time.
He always thought that Daomen wanted to use the hands of courtiers to promote the development of the whole matter and force Emperor Qin to abdicate.
Now it seems that he is different. Cui Yan was curious and couldn't help but ask, "Daoist Xiao, I don't know what the sect plans to do. You must know that there is King Yan in the middle. His strength cannot be underestimated. It is difficult to bypass him. "
"King Yan? It's okay to push King Yan to the throne." Xiao Rang said with a smile.
