"I'm here for another important matter." Woos glanced at GongYimo. "Please dismiss your attendants."
Gong Dai was about to refuse when GongYimo giggled. "Gong Dai, I haven't met an eminent monk before. How about this, I'll go out with the other monk for a walk. You guys can continue your discussion."
Woos curled his lips in disdain when he heard that she wanted to talk to Master Chu Xuan. Master Chu Xuan was an eminent monk. How could a woman like her meet him?
Who knew that Chu Xuan would agree?
"Chu Xuan is honored."
GongYimo winked at Gong Dai before leaving with Chu Xuan and the others. Gong Dai was reluctant to part with them, and his expression darkened when he saw Woos.
"Is there anything else you want?"
Seeing Gong Dai's cold expression, Woos felt that it was because of that woman. He was displeased, but he couldn't do anything because of Gong Dai's powerful aura.
"I hope that the Holy Lord of Dai Yu State is willing to convert to Buddhism."
Gong Dai was stunned. He thought he heard wrong. Did this person want him to become a monk?
After GongYimo pulled Chu Xuan and the others out, she brought them to the garden.
It was early spring, and everything was full of vitality. The garden was exquisitely built. There were mountains, rivers, pavilions, and corridors. Everything was beautiful. It was a work of the gods that they had never seen before.
"May I know why benefactor wants to bring us out?"
The others didn't seem to speak Dai Yu State's language, so they were very quiet along the way. GongYimo giggled. "Let me guess. You didn't come here to preach because you wanted to build more temples in Dai Yu State, right?"
Chu Xuan was stunned, then smiled. "Benefactor is smart."
GongYimo blinked. "Then wouldn't it be awkward for you people to talk about the secular world? That's why I brought you out. No need to thank me!"
Chu Xuan was a little surprised that GongYimo would say that. His eyes flashed with a trace of haze, but it was so fast that no one could catch it.
GongYimo pretended not to notice anything wrong with him and continued.
"I heard that in the Buddhist scriptures, there is a saying that 'a man has seven treasures, and a woman has five leaks'. It sounds quite unfair to women. Master, can you tell me which five leaks a woman has?"
Chu Xuan seemed to be a little restless. He frowned and said softly, "The Five Leaks Body refers to Polydyne, Lust, Cowardice, Jealousy, Vexation …"
GongYimo pursed her lips and smiled. "From the looks of it now, it's not only women who have the five leaky bodies. Master, don't you think that your demands are too much and that you're already 'greedy and jealous'?"
Her voice gradually turned cold. It sounded like a warning!
"If Grandmaster has any thoughts about Dai Yu state, I think Grandmaster will be very troubled in the end. After all, I am a suspicious woman who will cause unrest in the country!"
Only then did Chu Xuan realize that this woman was not only smart, but also able to see through people's hearts!
When they first came, they did not have such greedy thoughts. However, after seeing so much poverty and the prosperity of Dai Yu state, they could no longer maintain their original intentions. Everyone had their own ambitions. Wu Si wanted to obtain Dai Yu state's support, exchange culture, and bring back technology and treasures. However, he only wanted to build Buddhist temples on this rich land!
But now, he suddenly felt a little scared.
— —
Wu Si's words made Gong Dai smile. "Why? Why should this prince become a monk?"
Wu Si smiled respectfully.
"Holy Lord of Dai Yu state, you may not know this, but only when the monarch believes in a certain religion can that religion be respected. The principles of Buddhism are to teach people to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. This can restrain the people's thoughts, purify the country's atmosphere, reduce crime, and make the people more obedient to your rule."
After he finished speaking, he straightened his body slightly so that Gong Dai could look him in the eye. "There are many benefits, so why not?"
Gong Dai tapped his fingers on the table, deep in thought.
Wu Si thought that Gong Dai was tempted, so he spoke even more urgently.
"When the time comes, Holy Lord of Dai Yu state only needs to express your stance and let the people know that you believe in Buddhism. Master Chu Xuan will preach the true meaning of Buddhism in Dai Yu state to achieve your goal. Holy Lord of Dai Yu state does not need to do anything."
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled.
As the Regent of Dai Yu state, his every action could affect tens of thousands of people. It could be said that once he believed in Buddhism, those officials would rush to imitate him. Those wealthy families who wanted to curry favor with the officials would also rush to imitate him. The ordinary people would also be greatly affected. Wu Si's plan was well thought out. He said that he only needed to express his stance, but his stance was the stance of the millions of people in Dai Yu state. And the benefits he received were to make it easier for the people to control him?
Wu Si was still trying to persuade him.
"I heard that there are many internal conflicts within the imperial family, and there are often riots among the people. These are all caused by greed.
From this, it can be seen that only by having pure thoughts can one completely eliminate the hidden dangers. The price Dai Yu state has to pay for this is only to build a few Buddhist temples so that Master Chu Xuan can preach Buddhism better … Holy Lord of Dai Yu state, what are you still thinking about? "
Wu Si spoke lightly, but in his heart, he was thinking that if he could really use Buddhism to invade and make the people of Dai Yu state listen to him, then those Buddhist temples and pagodas would become capital that he could use to bring endless benefits to his state!
Gong Dai sneered.
"Dai Yu state does not need to trouble your state."
Wu Si was stunned. He did not expect the Regent of Dai Yu state to instinctively reject him like this.
This was because the temptation of strengthening the notice was not small. Along the way, many state emperors had chosen to cooperate with them. Why was it that when they reached Dai Yu state, they were rejected?
"Holy Lord of Dai Yu state, you, what do you mean by this?"
Gong Dai raised his eyebrows slightly. "Dai Yu state has good weather. The country is prosperous and the people are at peace. The people have enough food and clothing. They do not need this king to restrain them. They will know their place."
"That's not right …" Wu Si laughed dryly. "People's desires cannot be eradicated. You have to know that they always want more."
Gong Dai shook his head. "There are a few people whose desires are endless."
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Si with a smile that was not a smile.
"But most people are smart. They know what kind of life is best for them. Therefore, those who have endless desires will not receive the help of others. It is difficult for them to do it alone."
Woox was somewhat dissatisfied. "Along the way, the foreign ministers have all been willing to cooperate with us. The monks have stayed in different countries and will be put in important positions by them. It can be seen that most people feel that restraining the people is a very important matter."
Gong Dai could not help but recall GongYimo's words and sneered.
"Because they are poor."
Wu Si was speechless.
Because they were poor, those states could not satisfy the desires of the people. They were also afraid that the people would riot. Therefore, they made such a decision. However, Dai Yu state did not need it. The reality was so clear.
Gong Dai even said a few words with bad intentions.
"If you follow the horse path, you will be able to reach Yuheng from Dai Yu state. Why don't you try going to Yuheng?"
