"Hu Liuer, don't talk about these useless things. What happened later? What happened in the end?" asked the impatient drinker.

"Later! Of course, the monk insisted that the matter was done by the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest desperately denied it, and finally the fight started." Hu Liuer said concisely and straightforwardly.

"Then the result, who won? Hu Liuer, should you tell me quickly?" Seeing Hu Liuer stopping in this place again, everyone felt itchy and uncomfortable.

Hu Liuer ignored it and slowly drank another sip of the wine. After savoring it for a long time, he said: "The Taoist priests are unwilling to surrender, so they naturally have to fight to the death. The old Taoist priest sacrificed his life to cover the little Taoist priest Daoxu and ran away. The result is that. How about it! You didn't expect it! The government has not yet investigated such a big case. The monk and Taoist priests started to do it first. Whatever the four elements are empty and they are all fake, or is it only the fine wine of An Laoshi's family, which is true!" After saying that, he refused to say a little more and began to taste the fine wine bit by bit.

When the young master heard that Daoxu was able to escape safely, he felt relieved and knew that he could never ask anything again. He just brewed the grapes in the cup and drank them, and took the boy to hold the tent and left quietly.

"Young Master, we are also Taoist disciples. It is really annoying to bully us like this." After leaving the house, the boy saw that there was no one around, and no longer cared about it, and he spoke.

"Di Shi, Buddhism has expanded rapidly, and it boasts of itself as a disciple of Buddha. Not to mention ordinary officials, even when they see it, they will not pay any taxes. It is particularly hateful. They already occupy a large amount of temple property and temple property, but they are still insatiable. They recruit farmers who possessed the temple and tried to avoid taxes. This country is really harmful to the country, but if they just want to completely wipe them out, it is impossible. This matter is really difficult!" After saying this, I don't know whether it was for explanation for Di Shi or to talk to himself in trouble, with a confused tone.

It turned out that these two people were Cui Po’s master and servant who were walking in vain. Half a month ago, he used thunderbolt methods to loot 13 temples in three nights. After reaping a lot of military expenditure, Cui Po just did not leave his home and watched the wind. Fortunately, although the number of monks and Taoists in Jinzhou has tripled in the past few days, no one came to his military yamen. Until today, he really couldn't hold it in, and he left the mansion to explore the wind.

After leaving the restaurant, Cui Po did not go back to the mansion directly. He went from the South Street to the west of the city and entered the camp. Cui Po looked at the nearly three thousand men in front of him, facing the whizzing north wind, and practiced hard under the leadership of Gao Chongwen. The sound of regrets and shouting to kill him suddenly made him feel much more relieved. Thinking about the fact that most of the troops in previous dynasties were not divided between soldiers and farmers, while the 12 Zhe Chongfu soldiers who were intimidated in the early Tang Dynasty still needed soldiers to set up their own horses and weapons during wartime. Therefore, except for a few brave men who voluntarily joined the army in order to make achievements, for most people, joining the army was a last choice. With such a mentality, the morale and combat power of the army can be imagined. Now, looking at the first professional army in front of him, Cui Po only felt that no matter how much hard he suffered, it was worth it.

After watching quietly for a while, Cui Po slowly walked towards the barracks of the First Regiment of the Jinzhou Prefecture Army and stopped a sergeant who was about to report. Cui Po went straight into the room and saw that Guo Xiaosi, who had been promoted to accompany the Rong Captain, was buried in the map of Hebei Road and thought hard.

"I am very pleased that Captain Guo is so hardworking in the king's affairs!" Cui Po said with a smile on his face.

"I will meet you at the end." Seeing that Cui Po arrived, Guo Xiaosi was slightly stunned and immediately went to the ceremony to attend the ceremony.

"Forget it, this is not the time for the university. Don't be too reserved." Cui Po waved his hand and saw that there was no one in the room. He asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the 'guest' of Tianwang Village these days?"

"The 'guest' is quiet, but every time I yelled to ask the adults to fulfill the agreement on that day."

"Well! These people should be useful in the future, so you can't force them too much. In this way, when you send someone up the mountain to pine, rice and grain, you will send the two little guests in my mansion to them to comfort them. In addition, don't let them down in the supply." Cui Po said after a brief thought and said,

"Sir, now the matter is done, do you want it..." Guo Xiaosi said with a gloomy face, and the implication was self-evident.

"No one can stand without trust, so don't mention this matter. They are as anxious as a dog who is straying. Now that they have done such a big thing, they are betrayal and have no way to go. Let's keep it! It will still be useful in the future." Cui Po stood up and went to the outsider, and ordered this way.

Chang'an Fenglefang Ganfu Temple

The Dharma nature, who had just returned from Hedong, was standing quietly outside the last ordinary meditation room in the temple. Master Jinghou summoned him after the morning class.

After waiting for a long time, I heard a calm voice inside and a mellow voice shouting: "Dashi, come in!"

Walking into the simple and clean Zen room with a faint sandalwood, Dharma nature bowed to the old monk white-browed who was sitting in the middle of the cushion and bowed three times before he sat cross-legged on the cushion where he was headed.

"How about this trip?" Chengguan, a white-browed monk who had been silent for a long time and was known as the "Fourth Patriarch of Huayan Sect", just asked.

"This is strange. All monks in the temple were fascinated by people drinking water and eating medicine. The thief just took money but did not hurt the life of a monk. According to the young disciple, this matter does not seem to be done by Taoist sects." After thinking about it for a moment, Faxing said this.

"Oh! Then why did you bring back the body of Daowu?" He still said in a calm tone.

"Maybe useful"

"Your Majesty's dragon body is declining now, and the period of great expiration is only a few months, and the prince respects Laojun. At this opportunity of great change, just waiting for the change. The Taoist sect has no such reason, so this matter must not be what they did. It is just that it is good that you brought back the body of Daowu. You can take this opportunity to throw a stone to ask for directions, and see how the prince deals with it and attitude. We should prepare early." Chengguan opened his eyes that were unfathomable and deep abyss and said to Faxing.

"yes"

"Then have you ever found doubts on this trip?" Cheng Guanxu asked again.

"The newly appointed top scholar Cui Po in Jinzhou is very suspicious." Fa Xing replied respectfully

"Oh! You are talking about Guo Ziyi's grandson-in-law, Cui Po from the Boling Cuimen? Is there any evidence?" Cheng Guan asked with a look of ancient Jing.

"The time of the trip was too short, and there was not enough manpower, and there was a Taoist sect restraint, so there was no evidence of lack of evidence. However, this bold and arbitrary method was very similar to his; and the disciple learned that he was recruiting new troops, and the money was very expensive, and the most lacking was wealth. Not long ago, in order to raise food and grass, he brazenly destroyed the three local Tu tribes, and how could he know that he would not attack this sect; in addition, he was very respectful to the Hedong Jieshi, and if he wanted to do it, his strength would be enough. Moreover, this son was born in a Confucian family and had no good feelings for me. When he was in Dingzhou that day, he had been studying in Taoist temple for three years. When he came to Chang'an, the capital to take the exam, he even lived in Chongtang Temple. Based on the above, this son was really suspicious." The Dharma nature has reported to the master one by one after another, but at the end of his words, his tone was already very certain.

Hearing him say this, Chengguan had a longer period of silence, and then he turned the rosary in his hand and said slowly: "This son has a special identity, a family, a Taoist origin, but he is Guo Ziyi's grandson-in-law. He has the reputation of being the top scholar in the new subject, and is more loved by the current prince. At this time, he will definitely be very involved, which is very disadvantageous to my teaching. If you are a law-abiding person, you must not act rashly."

"This is the case. What if he insists on being an enemy of our teachings? Please tell me, Master," Faxing said unwillingly.

"Just look at him only taking money and not hurting lives, he knows that this son is not a completely reckless person, and there is no room for maneuver. Moreover, most of the thirteen temples that were robbed this time are the Pure Land Sect temples, and the five states, only the two temples in the Huayan Sect in Jinzhou are safe and sound. Have you ever thought about the deep meaning behind the Dharma nature?" Chengguan explained in detail, "In the past ten years, the two sects of Southern Zen and Northern Pure Land have expanded the fastest, and their arrogance has become stronger. It is not a good thing to severely destroy the Pure Land Sect this time. After all, I have to communicate with the court and the government, and I am the Huayan Sect. When I was instructed, I had to come to see me. This is really beneficial to the great merit of the unity of the eight sects of our teachings."

"What Master said is," Faxing respectfully said

"This son must not move now, so let's find someone to watch first. When he returns to the capital next time, he will deal with it. If he can enlighten this son, it will be of great merit." After saying that, Chengguan's eyes under his white eyebrows were closed tightly. Master Fa Shi Zhi had finished summoning him, and after bowing a little further, he quietly withdrew.

Chang'an Palace City Prince's East Palace

In the huge and magnificent Nan study, there were still five people who accompanied the prince at Cui Po’s wedding banquet that day.

With an elusive smile on his face, His Highness the Crown Prince handed the memorial presented by Hedongdao to Li Mi, who was dressed in Ge robe beside him. Seeing that he had finished browsing, he was puzzled and said to Cui Zhongshu, who had a gray face: "Youfu, don't hide it, just report the "secret room" to all of you!"

At a moment, the memorial and the "Secret Word Room" were read by everyone, but after reading it, everyone's faces looked incredible.

"What a top scholar, what a Cui Zongjun!" The first person to speak was Lord Chang Gun, the prime minister of the dynasty. This sentence used two good words in succession, which was of profound meaning.

Hearing this, except for Lord Zhongshu, the rest of the people smiled. After the prince and Li Zhenren exchanged a knowing smile, he even joked to Cui Youfu: "Lord Zhongshu and our throne master are of the same clan, so why are they acting far differently? One is a humble gentleman, and the other is... but..." When he said this, His Royal Highness the Prince really couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. It was not until Lu Zhi, who was smiling at the corner of his lips, said "no matter how he is not conservative" and then continued: "That's why the throne master is not conservative."
