Chapter 291 Please Surrender
Zhengyong fourteenth year, April 20th.
The four armies of Cui Xiawu, Guan Shan, Miao Xiu, and Meng Guang gathered in Jiangzhou and besieged Tianlong Temple.
Tianlong Temple mobilized 100,000 warrior monks and millions of lay disciples and believers in Jiangzhou to resist.
However, the imperial army was overwhelming and attacked thirteen cities in Jiangzhou one after another.
On that day, a golden light shone in the direction of Tianlong Temple in Jiangzhou. Then a fire broke out in Tianlong Temple, and a figure rose into the sky without a trace.
Tianlong Temple presided over, Fahai asked to surrender.
The letter of surrender was first delivered to Cui Xiawu. He did not dare to neglect it. After discussing with several other generals, he immediately rushed 800 miles back to the capital.
Now Zheng Yi saw the letter of surrender from Tianlong Temple sent back by Cui Xiawu and others.
After reading it, Zheng Yi threw it on the table and said, "Who can tell me what is going on?"
Lu Xiangqing stood up and said: "Your Majesty, please surrender to Tianlong Temple. This is a great thing."
"In this way, all the rebellions in our country of Dayu will be eliminated, the world will be at peace, and the people will live in peace and contentment!"
Zheng Yi frowned slightly. It seemed that Lu Xiangqing was also a fool.
Please surrender to Tianlong Temple. It seems that there are other secrets.
"Old Chen."
"The old slave is here."
"You go to Tianlong Temple in person. He will attend Tianlong Temple and ask for secrets."
Zheng Yi ordered: "In addition, there must be no mistake in letting Cui Xiawu's army stationed at Tianlong Temple!"
"No!"
Chen Liancang did not dare to neglect, and immediately saluted and left Bai Yujing quickly.
Zheng Yi paced back and forth on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "In addition...what conditions does Tianlong Temple have for surrendering?"
Lu Xiangqing said: "Your Majesty, Tianlong Temple is willing to surrender and puts forward five conditions."
"Say!"
"First, the main body of Tianlong Temple, the monks, remains unchanged, and it is still Tianlong Temple."
Seeing that Zheng Yi did not speak, Lu Xiangqing continued:
"Secondly, Tianlong Temple is willing to donate two million acres of criminal land to serve as military resources, and the court cannot hold him responsible for his crimes."
As soon as the second condition came out, the expressions of several ministers present changed slightly, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Third..."
Lu Xiangqing hesitated for a moment and then said: "Tianlong Temple hopes that the court will open the position of Shangwu Division to them, and the monks of Tianlong Temple can serve as officials in the Shangwu Division."
At this time, the eyes of several ministers became even more ugly.
Especially Ma Jinwu, who is now in charge of the command, said: "Your Majesty! This case cannot be allowed."
"Oh, why?"
Ma Jin Martial Arts: "Tianlong Temple is a traitor, and the Shangwu Division is the most important martial arts institution in our dynasty. How can we allow a rebellious person to join the Shangwu Division as an official?"
"If the people of Tianlong Temple have two minds and are in the Shangwu Division, then it will be harmful rather than beneficial to both the Shangwu Division and the entire court!"
Zheng Yi looked at the others: "Where are you dear friends?"
"Your Majesty, this case cannot be made."
"Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
"Your Majesty..."
Everyone chose to oppose, while Zheng Yi looked at Xu Mujun.
Xu Mujun personally experienced the battle to counter the rebellion in the south. Although he has returned to Beijing to recuperate, he still has many opinions about this battle.
Xu Mujun said: "Your Majesty, this case cannot be made."
Zheng Yi nodded, looked at Lu Xiangqing and said: "Lu Qing, continue, aren't there two conditions?"
Lu Xiangqing said immediately: "Your Majesty, the fourth condition is that Tianlong Temple is willing to dedicate two 'Tianlong girls' to Beijing as concubines."
"Dragon Girl?"
Zheng Yi asked strangely: "What is that? There are still women in Tianlong Temple?"
"Yes."
This time it was Xu Mujun's turn to speak: "I heard that the Tianlong Girl of Tianlong Temple is said to have 'worshiped the Buddha since childhood' and 'never married'. She dedicated her whole life to the Buddha, worshiped and worshiped the Buddha all day long, and was not tainted by worldly affairs."

"It is said that when the Heavenly Dragon Girl is born, there will be different appearances." "Golden lotus is born on the earth, Buddha's voice is heard, and Buddha's light shines all over the world."
Zheng Yi suddenly said: "Do these Tianlong girls all have spiritual roots?"
Several people were stunned, Xu Mujun shook his head and said: "I don't know."
Zheng Yi thought for a few minutes and said: "Lu Qing, continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Xiangqing glanced at the memorial in his hand, took a deep breath and said: "The fifth condition is that Tianlong Temple is willing to send eminent monks from the temple to open a branch of Tianlong Temple in the capital to educate the world..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked over.
Even Zheng Yi chuckled lightly.
Tenryuji branch opened in Beijing?
How is that possible!
It seems that Tianlong Temple has not been able to see the real differences between the two sides until now.
Zheng Yi picked up the surrender letter on the table and threw it down.
"Tell Tenryuji that they have only one choice."
After a few breaths, many ministers bent down to listen.
"Unconditionally surrender, otherwise, we will wait for the imperial army to attack Tianlong Temple."
"I obey the order!"
"Is there anything else?"
At this time, Cai Dashu quickly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a starting point."
"Say."
"Now that the rebellions in the southern states have been suppressed, the only place left in Jiangzhou is like a grasshopper in autumn and will not die for a few days. Such a great victory should be celebrated."
"I would like to hold a grand celebration party before the imperial court issues the reward, and invite other small royal families and officials to attend the ceremony to demonstrate the power of my great Yu Tian. What do you think of it, Your Majesty?"
"Celebration party?"
Zheng Yi touched his chin and considered it carefully, while the others also remained silent.
The celebration party will inevitably involve letting many outsiders into Beijing and even costing a lot of money.
But for some kings who love great achievements, it is the best time to show off their great achievements and the power of the court.
This will not only demonstrate the strength of Dayu, promote the patriotism and confidence of the people of Dayu, but also deter the surrounding small countries.
The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
Moreover, this matter was raised by Cai Dashi.
Today, Cai Dashi is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, serving in the cabinet. Most importantly, he is a member of the imperial party and is loyal to Zheng Yi.
He was born in Weiguo, a small country in the northeast, but he identified with Dayu very much.
The most important thing is that Kong Xiangsi, the Minister of Rites, is now old and may become an official at any time.
Cai Dashi's move was nothing more than an attempt to compete for the position of Minister of Civil Affairs.
Zheng Yi said: "The celebration ceremony...why not change it to a military parade."
Several people were stunned. Xu Mujun seemed to have thought of something and was thinking hard.
Cai Dashi came back to his senses and said: "Your Majesty, what is a military parade?"
"It's very simple, just take one of all our armies in Dayu to come to the capital for training. The number of people can be determined according to different arms."
"Then we walk from Donghua Gate to Xihua Gate in a specific square formation. During the walk, there are warriors introducing the composition of this unit, past achievements, etc. with their powerful internal strength."
"In addition, a viewing platform can be set up outside the imperial city, so that the people of the capital and special envoys from other countries can come to watch the ceremony. This can show military power, enhance our reputation, enhance people's self-confidence, and then deter other countries."
"This...is the military parade!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mujun stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan."
Zheng Yi smiled and said: "It seems that Xu Qing is very interested in this matter. Why not leave it to Xu Qing to prepare for the military parade, with the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry assisting?"
Xu Mujun immediately said: "I... obey the order!"
