Volume Two, The Backbone, Chapter 38: Kyoto Temples, One Word Hall
The morning mist has not yet subsided. It has fallen in Kyoto and tangled with the stove smoke, covering the entire city, but I can't enter the palace.
Today's morning dynasty was rarely lively. The news of Juyi's death in the Moshan Guanguan caused a stir when he entered the palace. The little eunuch guarding the hall lowered his head and raised his ears and listened to the quarrels of the big guys.
"After all, there are people from the villages and towns under Yunmo Mountain. I heard that this time the monster in the Forget-Waiting Realm was dispatched, so I still need to make more preparations."
"How can you still get rid of people now? The thieves on the border are still unstoppable, and those small border countries are also ready to move. Do you want to transfer the people from Kyoto?"
"Whether Yunmo Mountain wants to recruit troops and horses is second. In the eyes of the world, Guan Juyi stayed in Yunmo Mountain for many years because of my peace in the Holy Dynasty. He still wants to give him the decent behind him."
The ministers in the palace quarreled for half an hour but had no results. After all, there was still controversy over two matters: whether to transfer troops and how to properly handle Guan Juyi's funeral.
Someone whispered softly, "After all, Yunmo Mountain is not an important place. Even without Guan Juyi, Yunmo Mountain is still Yunmo Mountain. I have never heard of any Gun Saint in the past few thousand years, so there is no big mess?"
Someone even echoed and lowered his voice and said, "It was a group of pickled goods. Before Guan Juyi went, he had never heard of any trouble in Yunmo Mountain. Just withdraw the soldiers of my Holy Dynasty. What should I do if I should have died on my own?"
"The most urgent task is to first stabilize the military generals who entered the court from Yinmo Mountain. They have a close relationship with Guan Juyi. If they leave their posts without hearing the news, this will be a big deal."
The quarrel in the court has been slow to stop, and Li Tang is unwilling to listen, so he turns to the back of the palace. The eunuch in his close body understands it, Gao Xuan said, "Retreat the court--"
Half a moment later, only a few three two men met in the back of the palace and discussed the matter of Moshan again.
One person said: "Over the years, there have been many villages and towns under Yunmo Mountain, many of which are the families of soldiers on the mountain. No matter how unknown the origin of these soldiers is, they can be regarded as people who have contributed to the Holy Dynasty. Once the temple is indifferent, many people in the world will complain, which is not good for His Majesty's reputation."
After hearing the word "fame", Li Tang raised his eyes and said, "What should I do if you see?"
"You might as well send three or five people to the world, headed by a Naihe Realm. In today's world, Forget-worry cannot be cultivated. Even in the eyes of the people in the martial arts world, Naihe Realm is still an amazing person. In this way, even if the monster on Mount Yumo really goes down the mountain in the end, it will be considered an explanation to the people."
Li Tang nodded slightly, "What should I do if Guan Juyi's death is done?"
It was still the Guanglu doctor who had just come up with his advice. He looked at Li Tang's expression carefully and said slowly: "Guan Juyi is the only one in the Holy Dynasty for thousands of years."
Li Tang frowned slightly, and his face was impatient.
Doctor Guanglu quickly changed the subject and said, "However, he said it was just a false reputation and never did anything major in Yunmo Mountain."
Li Tang stretched his eyebrows, and Doctor Guanglu continued: "But, there are several generals in the court who have some friendship with Guan Juyi, so I still have to give them an explanation."
Li Tang was slightly silent, and then sneered: "I dare not say that this is the only one in a thousand years. Everyone is so busy, who will remember a dead person for three or five years?"
These words made the people in the hall slightly lose their lust. They secretly thought to themselves that they didn't know how Guan Juyi offended the emperor, so they made him say these words without hesitation.
In fact, they didn't care about the so-called Yinmo Mountain. Yinmo Mountain is three thousand miles away, and is in the east with a harsh climate and dangerous terrain. It is separated by the Cheng family's Dong'a City. Even if it is really lost, it will not affect their hats or seats.
When they first came to power, they did say that they wanted to benefit the people of the world, but after all, what they really care about over the years is whether the handling of this matter can satisfy the emperor in front of the palace. Only when this emperor is happy can others be happy and the entire temple be stable. As for those people who rely on a few unofficial history, the life of the foolish people only requires a few sentences of storytelling and a bowl of rice.
On this day, more than a dozen urgent orders were issued from the palace, all of which were sent to the generals from Yinmo Mountain. More than a dozen urgent orders were thousands of words. After all, it was just one meaning: Guan Juyi’s affairs were the misfortune of my entire holy dynasty. I also know that you have a close relationship with the Gun Saint and have received his favor, but now you are in important positions, so don’t leave your post without permission. The court will handle the Gun Saint’s affairs.
On this day, news came out of the palace that the emperor was very sad and cried for a long time when he heard the news of the Gun Saint. He only said: It is my responsibility and did not protect the humerals of the holy dynasty like Guan Juyi. For the stability of the holy dynasty, I decided to send Deputy Commander Qianniu to the place. He is the first in the imperial city today and will surely be able to keep the peace in the Yinmo Mountain.
Finally, Li Tang mentioned the ninth prince Li Chen, only saying that Yu Moshan suffered a great disaster. As a prince, you should set an example!
After hearing the news one after another, the people all praised the priest and righteousness.
The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Moshan Mountain were passed into Kyoto, just like a stone entering a large lake, and there was no sound after a few shallow circles.
