Chapter 114 Suddenly regret?

[The Prime Minister presented the Taoist memorial.]

【Although.】

【The specific content of this. 】

[It really made him very dissatisfied.]

【"because."】

[“That so-called overseas fairy mountain.”]

【“That so-called immortality.”】

【“It’s just a lie made up by Taoism!”】

[“They used this speech to deceive many emperors before them, and now they are trying to deceive His Majesty. This is simply an unforgivable crime!”]

[The Prime Minister is very clear about the truth.]

[But this is not something he can decide on his own, because His Majesty still hopes that these sects can get along with each other. ]

[After Buddhism travels west, what Taoism wants to do must naturally be reported to Your Majesty.]

【so. 】

[The memorial appears in front of Chen Huaixin.]

[The Prime Minister is waiting for his Majesty to reprimand Taoism.]

【However.】

【What he didn't expect was. 】

[Not only did his Majesty not reprimand Taoism, but he also read with great interest the ideas put together by the Taoist leader.]

[This immediately made him a little worried. ]

[“Your Majesty, the Taoist overseas immortals are actually a lie! Many emperors in the past spent a lot of effort but failed to gain anything, and instead caused the national treasury to suffer even greater deficits!”]

[The Prime Minister spoke up hastily.]

[Even if the treasury of Yu Country is now well-off, it is impossible to fill the hole of searching for an overseas fairy mountain, and searching for an overseas fairy mountain that does not exist at all, no matter how much money the treasury has! ]

[Because this is like hitting a dog with a meat bun, it is useless except for being a waste! ]

[However, after Chen Huaixin heard his words, a faint smile appeared on his face.]

[“The overseas fairy mountain does not exist? That’s hard to say!”]

【Hearing this.】

[The Prime Minister suddenly panicked.]

[He had never expected that His Majesty, who had no respect for the immortals and whose actions could be said to be encroaching upon the immortals' territory, would now be interested in this lie!]

【“Still.”】

[“No matter how wise and powerful the emperor is.”]

[“Can’t escape the temptation of immortality?!”]

【This thought popped up in the Prime Minister’s mind. 】

[He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.]

[But Chen Huaixin continued to speak: "Just like the last time you came into contact with Buddhism, you should continue to contact people from Taoism."]

[“Since they want to find the immortal mountain overseas.”]

【“Since they want to contribute to our country.”】

[“Then… let them give it a try!”]

……

In the Golden Palace.

After hearing what Chen Huaixin said.

Wang Qianhe's face was full of astonishment.

He didn't expect it at all.

After reading the Taoist memorial.

Chen Huaixin actually said such a thing!

"He believes in the existence of the immortal mountain overseas."

"Or."

"He can't even escape the temptation of immortality?!"

Wang Qianhe's mind was thinking rapidly.

In his opinion.

Chen Huaixin should not be someone who would be easily deceived by Taoism’s lies!

The research he did in Yu Country is almost equivalent to pulling the immortals off the altar!
"Even." "To say something outrageous."

"Even if the current empress believes in immortality, Chen Huaixin will never believe this nonsense!"

Wang Qianhe thought so in his heart.

In other words.

It has nothing to do with immortality.

Is that the fairy mountain overseas?
Because Chen Huaixin already knew that the overseas fairy mountain existed, but he didn't know its exact location, so he wanted to rely on Taoism to find it? !
Think of this.

Wang Qianhe still felt incredible.

But there should be nothing wrong with his idea!
"only."

"If the overseas fairy mountain really exists."

"Why were all the monarchs before me unable to find anything?"

Wang Qianhe was still confused.

But there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes as he looked towards the Jiantian Mirror!
Because Chen Huaixin believes that the fairy mountain overseas exists, then it must exist!
"So."

"What do these legendary overseas fairy mountains look like?"

……

【Same month。】

【The Prime Minister met with the leader of Taoism.】

[However, compared to the previous Master Xinkong, he has a greater resistance to Taoism. ]

[Because the Buddhists traveled west to seek the true scriptures, they provided all their own money, manpower and effort, and did not need the help of Yuguo.]

[And regarding the matter of Taoism this time, Chen Huaixin actually told him that he could provide Taoism with a ship! ]

[“The current sea vessels of our Yu country.”]

[“Its cost is extremely high.”]

[“Even if we give them some inferior ones, it’s still pure expenditure!”]

[The Prime Minister wanted to persuade him. ]

[But Chen Huaixin told him that the ocean was not as calm as the land, and a slightly larger storm would be enough to overturn the Taoist's own boat. In order to obtain the specific location of the overseas fairy mountain, it was still necessary to provide a ship.]

【"and."】

【“It doesn’t necessarily mean giving it to them.”】

[“Even Buddhism has such a rich history, how could Taoism be so poor?”]

[“But if they really don’t have it, you can ask them to pay it back slowly in the future.”]

【This is what Chen Huaixin said at the time. 】

[But in the eyes of the Prime Minister, this is not much different from giving it as a gift, because Taoism is not necessarily as profound as Buddhism, and who knows how long it will take to return it slowly! ]

[“But if they can’t pay it back, then we will send soldiers to occupy all their Taoist temples, and then let the Taoists enter the construction site and work hard for our Yu Kingdom!”]

[This idea suddenly occurred to the Prime Minister.]

【so. 】

[When the Taoist leader was brought before him, his eyes frightened the leader.]

[When talking about the business and the support given by the court, the leader was stunned for a long time before saying: "Master Prime Minister, does His Majesty just want us to rely on this ship to find the fairy mountain overseas?"]

[The previous emperor of Chengguo would have given them a ship as support, even the worst he could give. Now that Yuguo is thriving and the treasury is far greater than before, how could he be so stingy? ]

[“If you don’t want it, you don’t have to!”]

[“Those monks all spent their own money and effort to go to the holy land of the West to seek scriptures.”]

[“You have the support of a sea vessel, yet you still despise it?!”]

[The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes and looked at the leader in front of him. ]

[The leader of the Taoist sect was immediately shocked.]

[He looked at the Prime Minister and suddenly felt that this time the overseas fairy mountain might be a bit difficult to handle, but he hadn't yet decided whether to refuse or not.]

[The Prime Minister's cold voice sounded again.]

[“Your memorial has been presented to His Majesty.”]

[“Your idea has also been approved by His Majesty.”]

[“If you suddenly regret it.”]

[“And I am unwilling to look for the immortal mountain overseas.”]

【“Then you guys…can give it a try!”】
