Chapter 398 Suspicion
After noon, the court meeting was over. In Mo City, Zhou Tieyi had already learned two new pieces of news from the court.

The prince is the military supervisor.

Zhou Tieyi burst out laughing. In the past few months, the Emperor of Great Xia would definitely not feel at ease with the Crown Prince. Especially after the Emperor successfully practiced Taoism, the Crown Prince became an enemy in a sense.

But things change so quickly that enemies can become friends, not to mention that the Emperor of Daxia and the Prince are father and son.

My strategy never starts from one side. Once the fangs are exposed, I will naturally act on multiple fronts, even if it is to seek credit. The Emperor of Daxia can suppress my side, but he cannot suppress my father's side.

However, even Zhou Tieyi did not expect that his father's ability was beyond imagination and he could actually capture Miaoshan City. When Gongshu Sheng told him through secret channels two days ago that Zhou Qinlong was about to attack Miaoshan City, he was still surprised.

"Miaoshan City."

In the study, opposite Zhou Tieyi, Hu Wenlang saw two briefings sent from Tianjing and spoke in an exclamatory tone.

Zhou Tieyi looked at Hu Wenlang, "Are you familiar with Miaoshan City?"

Hu Wenlang thought for a moment and smiled, "I'm not very familiar with it, but I've loved reading interesting stories since I was a child, so I'm very interested in the story about the foolish monk. Today, when I saw your father borrow the foolish monk's relics to resist the Yuanmeng general and defend this city, I realized how wise the foolish monk is. He always remembered the teachings of the past and the sacrifices of the monks back then, but he left the cause and effect for four hundred years later, laying the foundation for today's situation in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Tieyi looked solemn and sighed, "The best in the world are indeed extraordinary people. Yugong moving mountains is nothing more than that."

At that time, there was chaos among the five dynasties in the north and south. When the foolish monk preached for the second time, because Emperor Wu of Wei was alive, the Kingdom of Loulan was afraid and accepted the teachings. However, Emperor Wu of Wei died, and the Wei State was in chaos. The Kingdom of Loulan immediately turned against them and wiped out the monks.

Although the foolish monk achieved the first rank in the world for the third time and went to the Western Regions to preach the Dharma again, at that time the monks in the world no longer believed that he could preach the Dharma. Even he himself once doubted this. So he spent four hundred years planning and left the fire until today, four hundred years later.

Four hundred years have passed to change the customs and habits. Because the foolish monk did not gather the monks from Daxia, but instead preached in Loulan, his Dharma has always been regarded as the Buddhism of the Western Regions rather than the Buddhism of the Central Plains. Even Yuan Meng, after being misled for four hundred years, thought that the foolish monk was only preaching the Dharma.

However, by accepting the teachings of Yu Monk, they naturally accepted a part of Daxia culture. The monks in Miaoshan City seemed kind and never participated in disputes. They even extradited Daxia's wealth and goods and opened up trade in Miaoshan City to exchange with the countries in the Western Regions. This was to erode the cultural roots here bit by bit, while waiting for someone to come to the Western Regions again to promote Buddhism. When this person went there with troops, Buddhism would naturally flow smoothly.

The relics of Yu Monk in Miaoshan City recognized Zhou Qinlong because he was the person Yu Monk had been waiting for four hundred years!

Zhou Tieyi looked at Hu Wenlang, "I heard that Buddhist monks are the best at reincarnation. Back then, Yu Monk died too quickly. Many people said that he died so quickly because he had been injured in battles with Yuan Meng's generals. Do you think there is a possibility that he deliberately passed away and waited for reincarnation four hundred years later?"

Hearing Zhou Tieyi's question, Hu Wenlang's heart was beating fast, but he still maintained a smile on the surface, "Why do you ask this, Lord Zhou?"

Zhou Tieyi shook his head. "When you are in the middle of a situation, you have to think too much sometimes. The emperor doesn't even trust the crown prince, so it seems normal for me to doubt my father."

At this point, he burst out laughing. Such words were almost treasonous, and could be said to be truly disloyal to the emperor and father. However, Zhou Tieyi was used to treasonous behavior, and Hu Wenlang thought it was normal when he heard it.

Although Zhou Tieyi laughed silently, he was really thinking about this matter.

When he first went to the Daming Taoist Palace, the Lord of Daming Palace told him that his father did not marry his mother because of love at first sight, but from the moment of birth, the destinies of both parties had been approved by countless powerful beings, who finally set up this dragon-trapping situation, with the Daxia royal family and Buddhists being the main forces behind it.

Since they are the main force, it is not impossible, or even very likely, for Buddhism to let a great monk reincarnate to determine the situation.

Of course, there is still a lot of information that is not certain for the time being, such as how do monks reincarnate, and can they control the exact time?
Or is it that the spirit of the great monk actually still remains in the relics, existing in a state of extinction, and will be reincarnated when needed? Or is this just a coincidence?

Zhou Tieyi sighed softly, and he began to understand how his father Zhou Qinlong felt when he saw his change at the border.

On the one hand, they hope their sons and fathers will become successful, but on the other hand, because there is reincarnation in this world, and there are too many calculations on the part of the Zhou family, until the final situation is revealed, one can only believe in the family bond and even the alliance of interests between the two.

"You did a good job with the moon phase system."

Zhou Tieyi changed the topic and returned to the moon phase system. One of the reasons why he was so powerful yesterday was that Hu Wenlang did better than expected. Just the first time the moon phase entered the dream, he was able to gather the spiritual dreams of 100,000 people, making the power carried by the entire moon phase system almost flawless.

Hu Wenlang modestly said, "It was Lord Zhou who arranged it well."

Zhou Tieyi asked with a smile, "Mo Fei didn't come with you this time?"

Hu Wenlang's heart moved again. He heard the test of Concubine Mo in Zhou Tieyi's words. Zhou Tieyi must have seen something unusual about Concubine Mo, but he was limited by his strength, so he was not sure. There was another reason for inviting him this time. He wanted to see Concubine Mo's background through the leader of the Mo family, so as to confirm his own background.

Hu Wenlang had a blank expression on his face. "She needs to pretend to be me in Tianjing to avoid being discovered by others. I don't want to be exposed to the world so early. After all, I don't have your strength, Marquis Zhou. If the evil spirit attacks me, I will almost certainly die."

Hu Wenlang answered very professionally and with sufficient reasons, causing Concubine Mo who was hiding in Hu Wenlang's heart to shout again and again, "What if he told you? You might as well ask the second brother of the Zhou family why he was so accurate in calculating the matters of the gods and trick him!"

Hu Wenlang ignored Mo Fei's voice. Some things still needed a layer of cloth to cover them up even if both parties knew they were false.

"is it?"

Zhou Tieyi chuckled without commenting, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll leave the rest of the Mingyue System to you. Please pay more attention to Mocheng and Jijiacheng. I have a feeling there may be other changes here."
