Seeing that he relaxed, Liu Bang helped him up, then lay back and collapsed on the bed.

"First, do you know Zhang Liang?"

"How can I not know the name of Duke Zifang?"

"He is also a Taoist. Do you think that Huangfu or something like that can be more powerful than him?"

Fohai was silent, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was.

"Even Zhang Liang can't predict the unknown. How can that kid do it? If he can, I'll give you my head and kick it for fun!"

This...

Liu Bang then said: "Second, you shouldn't lie to me about ghosts and gods. My wife used to say that wherever I go, there is a cloud following my head..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more confused, Liu Bang said bluntly: "I don't believe this anyway, you understand!"

"Third, Yang Yizhong told me that you fainted because you were frightened... This is impossible."

"How...how is it impossible?"

"If you were so cowardly, you wouldn't have blocked that knife... There may be people in this world who would do this, but without knowing their identity, absolutely no one would stand up, absolutely!"

"If you are brave, the knife will not make you unconscious."

"Now, can you tell me the truth?"

Fohai was silent again. He really couldn't imagine that things would be like this.

For other people, he might believe these three reasons.

But for this person, he couldn't convince himself.

Maybe... he already knew it, and he just came here to entertain himself.

Unable to help but sigh, Monk Fohai stopped chanting Amitabha. Regardless of the pain on his back, he got off the bed and then very solemnly knelt down towards Liu Bang.

"Guan family, continue the Northern Expedition! Don't ever negotiate peace with the Jin people again!"

Liu Bang tapped the bed with his fingers: "From the story you made up, I have already thought that your boy is a person who wants to fight... So you are so close to me, actually just to say this, right?

?"

Fohai nodded, and without waiting for him to continue asking questions, he continued speaking sensibly:

"The land of Hanzhong, the land of Xiangyang, and the land of Lianghuai, do you know how many people rebelled against the Jin in these three places?"

"You don't know, no, you should say you know, but you are just pretending not to know."

"The Thirteen Boats of Calligraphy, Paintings, Porcelain, Books and Antiques brought across the river by layman Yi An have now been almost sold off."

"She shouldn't have done this. It's not her responsibility. Are you right?"

From Fo Hai's mouth, Liu Bang probably understood the matter clearly.

The one named Jushi Yi An is a woman, almost sixty years old.

During the Jingkang crisis, her husband died on the way south. She was a woman and had no one to rely on. She suffered a lot during the chaos of war.

When she was fifty, she married an official. Unexpectedly, the old man was interested in the property she had brought with her when she went south. He wanted to force her to take it out, but she refused, so the old man would beat people whenever he had trouble.

The woman could no longer endure the hardship, so she sued the man for cheating during the exam... Fortunately, she was finally sentenced to divorce. However, after this incident, she became extremely disappointed with the world and thought about writing something every day.

Use poems and lyrics to criticize the Song Dynasty court.

The more she cursed, the greater her reputation became, which made many people who wanted to fight back but had no choice but to think of ways to interact with her.

This monk Fohai, as well as the Taoist priest Huangfu Tan he mentioned, and many officials who were demoted from the court...

After more than ten years, I have accumulated a lot of strength.

It's just that these forces only exist among the people and cannot affect the imperial court.

Everyone who studied Confucius, Taoism, and Buddhism got together for a common reason, often scolding the court together, and occasionally raising funds for local heroes.

Logically speaking, if they were making trouble like this at the foot of Lin'an Mansion, according to Prime Minister Qin's temper, they would have been taken away.

But...

The grandfather of layman Yi An and the grandfather of Mrs. Qin Hui were both Wang Gui, the prime minister of the former dynasty.

Everyone in the world doesn't know that Qin Hui is afraid of his wife. With this relationship, they also know that they can't cause any trouble, so Mr. Qin just turns a blind eye.

This group of people originally thought that there was a chance of returning to the north because of the successive great victories. After all, Yue Fei was about to reach Bianjing.

But I never thought that the emperor would call back the generals again.

Everyone was disappointed, and under Na Huangfutan's suggestion, they came up with such an idea.

If you don’t accept the advice of the Northern Expedition, then you can just rely on the gods. Anyway, the emperor was scared out of his wits by the Jin people and the rebel army, so he has little faith in these things.

Although it is not a good idea, other than that, this group of people really has no better strategy.

"Originally, I planned to use the relationship between Yi An and Prime Minister Qin to have Prime Minister Qin introduce the young monk to you... Prime Minister Qin strongly advocated peace, and the people he brought over to persuade you to go to the north would be more convincing.

Unexpectedly..."

"I didn't expect that by such a coincidence, we met at the city gate, right?"

Fohai said: "You are arguing with the steward of the Qin Mansion over the defense of a city gate. This is indeed something I have never thought of."

"That man has been killed by me."

"Amitabha..."

He was chanting Amitabha Buddha, but there was no expression on Fohai's face.

The origin of this monk has been clarified, but what Liu Bang wants to find out more now is...

What did the emperor of the Song Dynasty do before?

He just called back the generals, but everyone in the world thought that he was about to make peace.

In the past, I just thought it was just a lack of ability, but now it seems that it is probably more than that.

He looked at Fohai and told him what happened just now.

"Are these people who want to kill people related to you people?"

Fohai knelt on the ground. He had already stood up. After hearing this, he quickly leaned down and said:

"Official officials clearly know that the young monk and others only want to restore the country. If they really want to kill, they just want to kill the golden man."

"Well," Liu Bang didn't doubt him, he just heard him continue:

"But just like what the young monk said just now, there are many righteous people in the people who are fighting against the Jin Dynasty, and some of them are well known to the young monk. Could it be..."

He wanted to say whether someone had gone crazy and wanted to assassinate the emperor, but he still didn't say it.

Liu Bang knew what he meant: "If you tell me what you think, it will be regarded as a crime and meritorious service, and I will be able to absolve you of the crime of treason."

Fohai was speechless... The most he could do was deceive the emperor, how could it turn into treason?

However, this is not the time to worry about these things. He doesn't know who wants to kill the emperor.
