Jie Xian did not speak for a while. Du Qi was very certain.
It was strange that these people wanted to see him.
Du Qi was not in a hurry. He said with a playful expression, "Venerable Jie Xian, what's wrong? Do you want to postpone the debate so that you can't participate? "
Jie Xian said, "It's inconvenient."
Du Qi said, "What's so inconvenient about it?"
Du Qi paused for a while and said with a smile, "Could it be that all the monks under your command are like women? They feel uncomfortable for a few days every month. Let them go south to the town to debate. They won't be able to speak because they are unwell. "
Jie Xian's face twitched.
Du Qi had made it clear that he was doing this on purpose to mock him.
Jie Xian's life had been smooth sailing. When he was born, he was from a noble family. However, he liked Buddhism, so he became a monk. Jie Xian was very intelligent in Buddhism. When he was young, he was already a famous Buddhist master in Tianzhu. He was respected by many people. When he grew older, he became the abbot of Nalanda Temple. He was the number one Buddhist in Tianzhu.
Every time Jie Xian went out, he would be surrounded by a large group of people. Countless people supported him.
Many people respected him.
Even the nobles had to be extremely respectful in front of Jie Xian.
Now, he was being mocked.
For a moment, he was not used to it.
Master Jie Xian took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, since we've decided to debate in the next village, I have nothing more to say. We are willing to agree! "
Du Qi ordered, "In that case, you will march with the army. Venerable Jie Xian, you must come with me. "
Jie Xian shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. There is no need for such trouble. I am from Nalanda Temple. I should go with the people of Nalanda Temple. "
Du Qi nodded and Jie Xian left.
Shangguan Yi said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have been observing Jie Xian. As soon as His Majesty mentioned delaying the debate and changing the venue of the debate, his expression immediately changed. He even hoped for an immediate debate so that everyone could have an audience with His Majesty. Therefore, I dare to speculate that Jie Xian may have ulterior motives, or even that some of the monks under his command may harm His Majesty. Perhaps the other party will try to assassinate him. "
Du Qi said, "Perhaps it's just as you said. It's possible."
Because Jie Xian's attitude just now was really suspicious.
Shangguan Yi praised, "His Majesty said to delay the debate. On the one hand, he wanted to sound out the opponent, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this time to observe the other party's situation."
Du Qi said, "That's what I meant."
Along the way, Sorcerer Jie Xian and the others were traveling with the army, so they could observe the situation. Du Qi immediately called over the hoodlums who were with him. He had Yu Deshui's hoodlums keep an eye on the situation so that they could understand the situation.
Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I believe that we don't have to accept the debate."
Du Qi said, "I've actually thought about the debate. If we don't accept the other party's debate, many problems can be solved. We don't even have to consider the other party's schemes. "
"However, Sorcerer Jie Xian's reputation in Tianzhu is too high. It would be a pity if we don't use this opportunity to make use of such a person. Therefore, I agreed to it. The following debate won't be complicated or difficult. "
"Moreover, during the debate, all the monks will have to be searched. He can't hurt me with hidden weapons. This way, even if he wants to assassinate me, he can only get close to me. However, once he gets close, he will definitely be exposed. "
Du Qi said, "Therefore, in this debate, they will definitely be at a disadvantage. If we win the debate, we will be using Jie Xian's reputation as a stepping stone. This is a win-win situation. "
Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi had thought it through thoroughly.
This was a foolproof plan, and it was also leveraging on Jie Xian's strength.
Du Qi didn't say anything else. He led his men and continued on their way.
Jie Xian had already returned to the group. He passed down Du Qi's orders. Jie Xian didn't tell the King of Magadha what to do. This was because it was up to the other party to decide what to do next.
He had already told them the general direction of the plan.
He didn't care about the specific plans.
The group continued on their way. When it was past five in the afternoon, the group happened to arrive at a small town.
When the army led by Du Qi arrived, the small town was actually crowded with people to welcome them. There were a lot of people. There were at least a few thousand of them.
The leader was a thin middle-aged man.
This person's name was Akrudo.
He was from the small town.
Akrudo brought people to welcome them. He directly said that he wanted to see Du Qi. This was because they were ordinary people who had organized to destroy the Kshatriya nobles in the small town. They had won the final victory.
When Akrudo saw Du Qi, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you're finally here. If Your Majesty didn't come, we would all be anxious and worried that we wouldn't be able to gain a foothold. Now that Your Majesty is here, we are finally safe. "
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Akrudo suddenly shouted.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live Your Majesty!"
Everyone began to shout along with him.
In particular, these people were not shouting in Tianzhu's native language. They were shouting in Xia Xia's official language. Although these words were a little awkward, they could be understood clearly.
A smile appeared on Du Qi's face when he heard that.
Not bad!
Not bad!
He had promoted Xia Xia's language and writing. He didn't expect the people of the southern countries to be influenced. Perhaps many people didn't know how to speak Xia Xia's language. However, the most important thing was that it could affect all the people. That was enough.
It proved that Du Qi was right to abolish the caste system.
Du Qi waited for everyone to stop shouting. His gaze fell on everyone and he said, "I came from the south of the Imperial Capital. Along the way, I encountered many villages and towns and encountered many resistance. All of you were able to overthrow the Brahmin and Kshatriya's rule and control your own destiny. You have done well. "
When these words were spoken, many people were even more excited.
To these commoners at the lowest rung of society, Du Qi was like a beacon, a savior of the world.
Because of Du Qi, they were able to escape from the sea of suffering.
Because of Du Qi, the Brahmin and Kshatriya could not make a comeback. Only Du Qi could truly destroy the Brahmin and Kshatriya.
Du Qi immediately explained the arrangements for the town. Since Akrudo was the one who organized the resistance, Du Qi appointed Akrudo as the town's official. In fact, this town, according to Xia Xia's plan, was a lower district. It was an inferior district.
Therefore, Akrudo was the district magistrate of this district.
Akrudo was extremely famous among the people. When he received Du Qi's arrangement, the people were delighted. Akrudo was also very excited. Akrudo was once an ordinary person and was born as a sudra at the bottom of the social ladder. Today, he organized the resistance of the people and won. Now, he finally changed his destiny.
Akrudo quickly expressed his gratitude.
He also expressed that he would govern the town well and would not disappoint Du Qi's expectations.
Du Qi nodded in agreement and encouraged Akrudo. Then, he changed the topic and said, "Akrudo, have the people disperse and clear out the empty space outside the city. Next, I will debate with Venerable Jie Xian and the monks of Nalanda Temple. The topic of the debate is about the caste system. Get everyone to watch from the side. "
Akrudo immediately acknowledged and had the people disperse. At this moment, a look of anger appeared on Akrudo's face. However, under such an angry expression, there was also a look of worry on Akrudo's face.
That was because Jie Xian was too powerful.
Many other people also knew about Venerable Jie Xian. Now that they heard that Du Qi was not only going to debate with Venerable Jie Xian, but also the monks of Nalanda Temple, they all perked up and observed.
