Chapter 287 But I don’t want to!
Emperor Yu picked up the tea and took a sip. The taste was acceptable. Although it was not as good as the Yunwu tea specially provided by the imperial palace, it had the sweetness of the mountains.
"You can see clearly." Emperor Yu chuckled.
"I'm used to the world now, and my mind is at ease everywhere." Li Hao said with a casual smile.
Poetry experience +66.
Emperor Yu was slightly stunned and glanced at Li Hao. Thinking of the young man's situation, his eyes flickered slightly.
"No wonder those stubborn old men in Hanlin Hall like you so much."
He seemed to sigh and sigh again.
Li Hao was a little surprised. Isn't the Hanlin Hall a place for literati? He didn't seem to have much interaction with them.
"Come on, let me see if your chess skills have improved. Don't just pretend."
Emperor Yu lifted up his clothes and sat on the futon, saying half-jokingly.
When Li Hao saw this, he also sat upright. He knew that his Majesty was not just here to play chess, but his visit had also brought the answer that Li Hao was waiting for.
But the answer was deeper and heavier than he expected.
This made him feel a little ashamed.
Putting away the scattered pieces on the chessboard, the two slowly made moves.
Li Hao holds Bai.
"Don't give in to me, I don't need anyone to give in." Yuhuang Nianzi said.
Li Hao nodded: "I dare not give in."
Soon, on the chessboard, White's attack was fierce, and he quickly seized the main attack. The layout was impregnable, and Black's could only retreat step by step, and was surrounded by White, unable to break free.
"You kid..."
Emperor Yu grinned slightly, what a good boy, you really won’t let me go if you say you won’t.
Li Hao coughed slightly, as if he was taking it too seriously. He is now at the sixth level of chess. Although he is just at the sixth level and has not yet reached full experience, he could easily defeat his Majesty when he was at the fifth level.
"Come again."
Emperor Yu obviously refused to admit defeat. In other words, since he ascended the throne as emperor, he had never experienced losing...except against Li Hao.
After three consecutive games, Li Hao still chose to let his Majesty have some fun, rather than crushing him.
Soon, Emperor Yu's chess addiction was cured.
So during the fourth game of chess, Emperor Yu no longer looked so serious and focused. While making his move, he said casually:
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of killing Lord Buddha?"
Li Hao was also able to play chess with ease. Seeing the old man talking about business, his expression calmed slightly and said:
"I've thought about it."
"Oh? Then what do you think?"
Emperor Yu paused and looked at Li Hao with interest.
"I think senior may have a headache and cause trouble for you." Li Hao sighed.
Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then what do you think I will do?"
Li Hao shook his head slightly: "I didn't think about it carefully."
"Didn't you think about it?"
"Well, no matter how I deal with it, I will accept it calmly."
When Li Hao said this, he added: "As long as you don't take my life."
"..."
Emperor Yu stared at the serious look of this young man for two seconds, and said with some confusion:
"You are at ease. Aren't you afraid that Buddhism will put pressure on me, and in order to appease public anger and deprive you of your fame, I will take back the third-class title you finally obtained?"
"If that's all it is, then it's worth killing this Lord Buddha."
Li Hao said.
Emperor Yu was dumbfounded and said angrily: "You are really willing."
"If you give up the love of one day, you will gain the sky of eternity."
Li Hao smiled and said: "I came here alone, there is nothing I can't bear to part with. We have wine, meat and friends, that's enough."
Poetry experience +166.
"This is what Zen Buddhism says. If the Buddha master can understand, maybe he won't be killed by you." Emperor Yu shook his head and sighed.
"Maybe he hasn't practiced enough yet," Li Hao said.
Emperor Yu glanced at him, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
After he finished laughing, Emperor Yu said to Li Hao: "If I take back your title, will you blame me?"
Li Hao shook his head and silently said: "How could it be possible? This is a reward from seniors."
"But it's also earned through your hard work."
"Without this fame, I would have worked so hard." Li Hao said.
Emperor Yu glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, and lowered his head. When he stopped, he saw that Li Hao had made a move earlier, blocking his other path.
This brat... Emperor Yu was a little annoyed. When it came to business, this brat actually had the intention to play tricks on the chessboard.
No more!
Emperor Yu threw the black pieces he twisted into the chess case, and rolled his sleeves and said:
Let’s get down to business. I should also thank you. The Lord Buddha has been possessed by the devil for a long time, so your move can be regarded as a blessing. Eliminate hidden dangers for Dayu."
Li Hao was startled and asked in surprise: "Senior, do you know that Lord Buddha's avatar is Mara?"
Emperor Yu nodded slightly and looked at Li Hao: "It seems you also know why you didn't tell me just now?"
"Forgot." Li Hao coughed lightly.
Emperor Yu curled his lips slightly but his eyes were deep, as if something was shaking.
Forgot something? This kid is obviously worried that telling him will make it more difficult for him to deal with this matter...
"You..."
Emperor Yu shook his head slightly and said: "This time the remnants of Buddhism are putting pressure on me to deprive you of your title. There are probably demons behind this, trying to divide us and take advantage of it."
"Now there is a way, which is to temporarily aggrieve you. I will tell the world that your reputation will be abolished, and you will be imprisoned to pretend to break up."
"This will attract demons to counterattack, waiting for Buddhism to cause chaos, and turn passivity into initiative."
Li Hao listened quietly and nodded slightly. This was indeed a good idea.
"But in this case, you have to fake it, and you will suffer a lot." Emperor Yu looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded: "Okay."
Emperor Yu stared at him and said, "How do you need me to compensate you afterwards?"
"compensate?"
Li Hao thought for a while and said: "If possible, give me some calligraphy and paintings, piano scores, or chess scores of famous teachers, so that I can admire them, as well as recipes..."
He counted them on his fingers.
"..."
Emperor Yu was silent.
Calligraphy and painting? Music score? Chess records... what kind of junk is this?
For wealthy businessmen, it may be valuable, but for Li Hao's level of strength, money, power, etc. are all easily accessible.
These things... can only be regarded as garbage.
"Apart from these, don't you want anything else?" Emperor Yu stared at him.
Li Hao thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's gone for now."
When Emperor Yu saw this, he looked at him deeply, said nothing, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."
"I'll see you off." Li Hao said quickly.
"Need not."
Emperor Yu glanced at Feng Boping in the courtyard, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "He is the Thief Saint. It seems that he knows a lot of Lord Buddha's secrets and was manipulated by Lord Buddha. Is this a lack of soul?" Li Hao whispered: "That's right."
Emperor Yu patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said: "I'll tell the Wang family later. They are in charge of the world's Minghe River. As long as they are within the territory of Dayu, they can basically be found. Let's see if we can find him then." If you can find the dead river where the missing soul is, try to clear the level again."
Li Hao was stunned and said quickly: "Then I'll go now."
Emperor Yu glanced at him and saw the excitement in his eyes. He smiled helplessly and said: "It's useless for you to go first. You're just waiting over there. There are many Buddhist disciples in the Wang family. , if I know your news, I'm afraid it will be foolish and offensive, and it will increase the contradiction. I will inform you when there is news over there, and it would be better for you to go directly. "
Hearing this, Li Hao thought for a while and said, "That's okay."
"Don't worry, I'll let them search carefully."
Emperor Yu said, and then walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Li Hao watched his figure leave. Not long after he stepped out of the yard, he disappeared as if teleporting.
That trace... is not the pull of Dao Yun, nor is it Dao Domain, but... the breath of Dao.
Is this Your Majesty in the Wen Dao realm?
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
Then the Lord Buddha has hidden something so deeply, who among the others has not hidden something?
As the courtyard door closed, Ren Qianqian walked over curiously and asked, "Master, who is he?"
"An old man who can play chess."
Li Hao looked at the place where Emperor Yu left.
"Is he good at chess?"
Ren Qianqian was surprised that the little chess master had never been praised like this by Li Hao before.
"My chess skills are average, but my chess quality is very high."
"Then the young master doesn't win all the time?"
"No, I keep losing."
…
…
Dayuzhou, in the imperial palace of the imperial city.
While Chu Jiuyue waited uneasily, Emperor Yu returned.
He first went to Qiandao Palace to clarify the answer, and then sent people to inform the Wang family to search for the remnants of Feng Boping's soul in the dead river. At the same time, he summoned secret figures one after another to the Imperial Palace.
These people were as silent as ghosts, and could not be seen by the high-ranking officials and ministers on weekdays.
There was also a bird-like figure among them. After landing in the imperial palace, it contracted its wings and transformed into a girl.
When the secret orders came out one after another, with the Imperial Palace as the center, the power behind the entire divine dynasty was quietly operating.
"Your Majesty, there is news from Anjia from the Buddhist side that they are preparing to cause trouble in various cities and make a big noise in order to force Your Majesty."
Chu Jiuyue reported the news.
Although Emperor Yu in the court had previously suppressed the resistance of the Buddhists for the time being, the Buddhists were now agitated and insisted on denouncement.
After hearing Chu Jiuyue's words, Emperor Yu's expression did not change. He seemed to have expected it. A slight sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Then let's make trouble, they will get a satisfactory answer soon."
Chu Jiuyue glanced at Emperor Yu and whispered:
"Did your Majesty go to play chess with General Haotian?"
"good."
Hearing this answer, even though Chu Jiuyue had expected it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
If this were known to Buddhist disciples, they would probably be so angry that they would have a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.
"Then General Haotian..."
Emperor Yu glanced at him and chuckled: "I gave him a way, the kind that Buddhism expects."
Chu Jiuyue's face changed slightly, and he said expectantly: "Can General Haotian agree?"
Emperor Yu nodded: "I agreed without hesitation."
Chu Jiuyue was startled, secretly relieved, and smiled: "It would be best if General Haotian could understand His Majesty's difficulties and wishes."
Emperor Yu smiled slightly and stared at the word "Buddha" on the desk, but his eyes slowly turned cold:
"But I disagree."
Chu Jiuyue was stunned.
"He is willing to suffer this injustice, but I... don't want to see him suffer this injustice!"
Emperor Yu turned to look at Chu Jiuyue and said, "Didn't you ask me earlier why you were so reassured about him?"
Chu Jiuyue was at a loss.
"Because I can understand this kid."
Emperor Yu said softly: "You can't understand, just like a mayfly looking at the blue sky. Your world is too small, but the child's world is too big."
Chu Jiuyue was shocked. He did not expect His Majesty Emperor Yu to attach such great importance to the child, which was beyond his imagination.
…
…
When Buddhist temple disciples in cities across the Nineteen Prefectures were about to cause turmoil, an imperial edict came from the imperial palace in Dayu Prefecture that the real culprit who killed the Buddha Lord had been found!
The Ministry of Punishment and the Department of Demon Suppression both provided evidence and have investigated the murderer.
The murderer is the Aragami behind the seven top demon forces!
The Demon King from Dahuangtian!
The wars in Qingzhou, Liangzhou, Youzhou, etc. were all ordered and dispatched by the Demon Emperor behind the scenes!
The Demon King sneaked into Wuliang Mountain, pretended to be General Haotian, fought with the Lord Buddha, and killed him!
As the imperial edict spread, the news also spread throughout the states, and the world was shocked.
It turns out that Emperor Yu fought with demons secretly, but now, Emperor Yu has brought this matter to light, directly pointing out the existence of the wild god.
"Demon Emperor? Aragami?!"
"I knew why General Haotian would kill Lord Buddha for a thief?"
"It turns out it was all done by demons. It's so insidious. They actually used this method to frame General Haotian!"
"General Haotian is the genius who saved the three states. He is the hope for the future of our Dynasty of Dayu. How could he do such a thing?"
"Buddhist disciples keep saying that they have seen it with their own eyes. It is simply ridiculous. What they have seen with their own eyes is true? What is the sorcery? Not to mention monsters, even a person in the Ascension Realm can use blind magic to fool Zhoutian Realm warriors!"
"Nonsense, it's clearly His Majesty who's covering it up, there's no such thing as a monster!"
"I think you Buddhists are the demons. How could General Haotian kill Lord Buddha? What reason is there for doing this?"
The prestige of Dayu's royal family is extremely deep. Although some people still question it, they are basically Buddhist disciples. Most of the people and dignitaries of the nineteen states have already believed that it was the work of demons.
The people's belief was their trust in the imperial power and their trust in Li Hao's previous deeds.
As for the powerful people of the aristocratic families, some believed in the imperial power, while others believed in pure interests.
They couldn't see the benefits of General Haotian killing Lord Buddha, so they had no choice but to believe it.
The senior Buddhist officials who received the news were almost furious.
Instead of helping the Buddhists to denounce the evildoers, Your Majesty actually wants to use the Buddhists as spearmen and use the death of the Lord Buddha to make them subjugate demons?
Too cruel, His Majesty is too cruel!
And this news naturally spread to the demons and the secret palace outside Dayu State.
Demon Sheep Lord and the other three desolate gods were stunned when they heard the news, and their faces immediately turned ugly.
These humans only saw that the emperor cleverly diverted the hatred of Lord Buddha's death, but they knew that the edict of the other party was not just to excuse the terrible young man, but... to directly declare war on the three of them!
This means that the opportunity they were waiting for does not exist.
They had previously anticipated the possibility that the other party would pretend to break up, and they also thought of countermeasures to take advantage of the situation.
But his Majesty didn't even bother with hypocrisy, and did not use this incident to give them a weakness in their attack. Instead, he transferred the anger of Buddhism to the demons, and used Buddhism to raise sharp spears to defend Dayu.
"It's just, damn it!"
Demon Sheep Lord looked ugly.
