When the entire Yongpingfang was invaded by the Brigade Ben Army, in Yongchang Fang far to the east of the city, the Second Prince led the 500 Brigade Ben Army led by Xiang An, the Youqing Dao who was supposed to be guarding the Sixteenth Prince's Palace, and rushed towards Inspiration with murderous intent. temple.
More than thirty palace ministers wearing purple robes had been waiting outside the Inspiration Temple for a long time.
Tonight, the second prince did not come to Qingqing Temple to arrest people, he wanted to massacre Qingqing Temple.
Using human bones as weapons, using women as cauldrons, and practicing evil ways, it is impossible for the second prince of Daqian to allow such evil people to appear in the capital of his country.
"The Great Wisdom" says: "If you offer Buddha's relics and even give them mustard seeds, the blessings will be boundless."
Offering relics to the Buddha will bring you immeasurable blessings. Therefore, Buddhist disciples respect the relics very much.
In the eyes of the second prince, these monks who could turn the relics into rosaries and give them to the powerful were not considered monks.
Regarding the monks, Daqian undoubtedly has a wait-and-see attitude. After all, after years of fighting, Daqian needs someone to calm people's hearts. However, this person can only be a government official. Just because of the people's wishes, Daqian can't help but do the right thing. A butcher's knife hangs high above the Buddhist door.
Daqian's attitude toward Taoists is different from that of Buddhism. Taoists from Taoist sects go down the mountain to diagnose and treat diseases for the people, and sing to call upon the souls of soldiers killed in battle.
Between Taoists in commoner clothes and monks in cassocks, Daqian would only choose the former.
Moreover, these Buddhist monks were inextricably linked to the Tubo people on the plateau, which gave the second prince more reasons to take action.
As for Buddhism's persuading people to do good, Daqian's Zen can do the same.
Daqian people are open-minded, but they only accept people who are beneficial to Daqian. As for those who come to Daqian to seek life and compete with Daqian for profit, Daqian will only tell them with the horizontal sword of the soldiers, two words - no way!
The second prince had the relic bracelet that he had thrown away carelessly. Yesterday, the second prince had someone send it to the temple where the great Zen monk lived.
Although relics are said to have the effect of focusing on karma and neglecting retribution. With relics and good deeds, past karma will be relatively alleviated and karma will be alleviated. However, for the second prince who aspires to become the king under the shadow of Daqian , this life may be contaminated by many Buddhist karma.
Your karma is my fault!
The second prince, Zhao Zaixiao, was moving forward in the dark. Compared with Su Ce who had to take care of the innocent people in Yongpingfang and act cautiously, the Inspiration Temple here was much easier to deal with.
Therefore, it was enough for the second prince to bring only 500 brigades of soldiers. As for the more than thirty soldiers enshrined in the palace, they were sent by the saint Zhao Yumin to protect his second son.
While walking on the road, the second prince Zhao Zaixiao was still thinking that he could not give the Zen monk a string of relics for free. He heard that Zen Buddhism has many bracelets made of medicinal materials, which are as good as Taoist incense bracelets.
When I finish this busy work, I will definitely go to my door to ask for a few strings. Seeing that my father and mother are getting older, there is always no shortage of such treasures for health.
The Zen sect always pays tribute to Taoist medical books, and the imperial doctor must get some real benefits if he wants to do so. He cannot let the Taoist sect always fool people with vain things.
Thinking of Zen Buddhism, the second prince also thought of Taoism. However, Taoists like to live in seclusion in deep mountains and forests and live like idle clouds and wild cranes, so it is difficult to find them.
…
The second prince thought a lot, but as he approached Lingyin Temple, he threw away the distracting thoughts in his head.
"Your Highness!" A purple-robed priest jumped down from the tree and saluted Zhao Zaixiao.
Zhao Zaixiao curled his lips, yes! He thought he had a chance to take action, but now seeing more and more purple-clothed worshipers gathering in front of him, the second prince knew that he was overthinking.
With more than 30 offerings in the palace, it would be too easy to capture the Inspiration Temple.
However, Zhao Zaixiao suddenly came up with the idea that he would take this opportunity to give Xuanmen a warning. Rather than losing their reputation, it would be too cheap for them to just kill these evil monks.
"Capture alive!" After the second prince Zhao Zaixiao finished speaking, he took out a gold token from his arms and threw it to Xiang An.
The offerings in the palace must be ordered and cannot be called. The second prince, Zhao Zaixiao, does not have the token to call the offerings, so he cannot instruct these offerings to do things. However, there are other solutions to many things.
"I'm just waiting here. You can't be idle. Leave ten people to protect me, and the others will help the Brigade Army arrest people!" Zhao Zaixiao said to the leading worshiper. Although it was for discussion,
But there was a commanding tone in the second prince's mouth.
However, this is not to be blamed on Zhao Zaixiao. After all, he has been in charge of Mudan Neiwei for several years, and Mudan Neiwei has never disobeyed him.
The leading priest nodded slightly and waved his hand, and the more than twenty priests behind him followed the team of Lu Ben Army.
Xiang An was very sure about how to capture the monks from Qingqing Temple. After all, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he loved to go to the peach forest in Qingqing Temple. He was looking forward to encountering the scene of the general meeting the beauty in the novel. He only went there a few times.
Later, he discovered that the peach blossoms were in decline, and the beauties in Chang'an City did not like the smell of Monk Fan, so his wish to come here to meet a beautiful lady was wrong from the beginning.
"The first regiment will guard the outside, the second regiment will go to arrest people, and I will lead the remaining brigade. Please support me. If you encounter a hard idea, please help me. I will treat you to a drink at the Victory Building tomorrow!" Xiang An said to himself
His subordinates were very strict, but they were very polite to these offerings in the palace.
The worshipers in the palace are all wearing purple robes!
In Daqian, only third-rank ministers and nobles above marquis can wear purple robes.
This is identity and status.
"My baby from the Duke of Chu's family, there's no need to treat me to a drink. If you can pick up the Duke of Chu from us, I'll give you a piece of meteorite!" Xiang An had just finished speaking when someone from the altar spoke to him.
.
The Duke of Chu and the Duke of Qi faked their deaths and escaped. Duke Jiang Che of Qi fell down and became bedridden in the Duke's Mansion, while Duke Xiangcheng of Chu went to the Daming Palace outside the city to practice worshiping in the palace.
In the words of Gong Xiangcheng of Chu State: "No matter how good the horizontal sword is, it must always be used!"
How could the saint Zhao Yumin dare to provoke the old Duke of Chu? He knew that this was because the old Duke was dissatisfied that his son Xiangcheng Xijue had been demoted to the rank of Military Duke Anding.
But Zhao Yumin is also in trouble. No matter how he carries a bowl of water, it will be uneven. Instead of worrying about one thing and losing the other, it is better to lose one end first and make up for it later.
The old Duke Xiangcheng was not an unreasonable person. He knew that this was a step passed by the sage to the civil servants. Otherwise, the matter would not have been settled if the noble king killed one of the three prime ministers at that time.
However, thinking that Xiang Cheng was bedridden now, he didn't want to die in bed. While he could still move, he asked the saint for a job and went to the Daming Palace to practice and serve in the palace.
It has been enshrined in the palace for many years and it has not been released. If you are too pure, you will suffer a loss in the future.
Xiang An is the eldest grandson of the Duke of Chu. Although he is not a direct descendant, his status as the eldest grandson is still unreasonable. The old Duke Xiang Cheng is also well aware of the opportunity of tea cooling, and now fully supports the second eldest son in the family to move up.
Move your seat.
Therefore, Xiang An can be regarded as gaining the power of the old Duke. However, Xiang An knows that this is not the norm, so he is not arrogant or impetuous. He laughed at the fact that the worshiper talked about his grandfather: "You don't dare, my grandfather will fight." Break my leg."
The worshiper didn't have any dissatisfaction, he just smiled and cursed: "Little fox!"
Zen sects can make offerings to warrior monks to protect temples, but these foreign monks are not allowed to support warrior monks. However, it seems that these foreign monks did not fulfill the agreement they made when they built the temple.
In this way, Xiang An's original idea of treating them politely and "inviting" them out of the temple for a chat was abandoned.
"If you dare to resist, beat me hard!" Fanseng is not from Daqian. He does not have a certificate issued by Daqian, nor does he have a household registration from Daqian. The Luben Army has no intention of taking action against these people from the outside world. No mercy at all.
What's more, these monks started to resist with scimitars in their hands.
"Attack!" Xiang An didn't worry. The captains of the Luben Army had long been displeased with these monks. They were all bare-breasted and shameless. They were just Buddhist eminent monks!
However, the second prince wanted to survive, so they did not kill him. The long gunmen took off their spear heads, and the gun barrels threw out afterimages, stabbing or knocking them. With the cooperation of each other, the dozens of monks who resisted could only be beaten on the ground. into a ball.
"Wei Lian, there is a place, you go and have a look!" Without encountering any hard ideas, the worshipers chatted with Xiang An, and a Brigade Lieutenant hurried over.
"Go and have a look!" Xiang An and the worshipers followed the captain to the backyard of Inspiration Temple.
Seeing several darkrooms opened in the backyard, Xiang An went in for a cup of tea. When he came out, his originally clean armor was covered with blood donations, as was the captain who went in with him.
The worshipers saw the two young generals coming out of the darkroom covered in blood. Just as they were about to ask, Xiang An spoke up: "This place is closed and no one can enter without my military order. Brother Zhang, follow me to kill a few demon monks. Otherwise I won’t be able to sleep at night!”
"Okay!" the captain surnamed Zhang responded, and a group of brigade soldiers stayed outside the darkroom and stood with knives.
Although the worshipers were curious about what happened in the dark room, they knew that under military orders, these brigade soldiers would not let them in.
Watching the two young men go to the front of the temple, I was afraid that something might happen to these two boys, so I followed them.
At this time, all the monks in Inspiration Temple were arrested in front of the main hall of the temple.
Xiang An pointed his finger at a group of Buddhist monks at random. When he pointed to one person, the Brigade Army picked him out from the crowd.
Xiang An looked at the golden Buddha statue. The difference between the Buddha statue worshiped by this monk and that of the Han Buddha was as big as the difference between the Buddhist monk who did not bathe and the kind-hearted Zen monk.
Zen Buddhist statues are simple in shape and have a gentle and gentle image. Most of them have one head and two arms, and most of them are statues of silence.
The Buddha in front of him was full of anger, had many faces and arms, and showed strange dancing postures.
Looking at the Buddha statue enshrined by Monk Fan, Xiang An had no awe in his eyes, only anger that was about to be ignited.
"Come here, tear down this Buddha statue!" Xiang An shouted loudly, and a brigade soldier took a long gun and toppled the Buddha statue with great effort. The Buddha statue, which was more than one foot tall, fell to the ground and was broken into several pieces. The statue was empty. The gold ingots stuffed in the cavity were also scattered on the floor, and there was a booklet among them. After Xiang An saw it, he walked over, picked it up, looked through it, and quickly closed it.
"Brother Zhang, let's not kill these people today. I'll go find the second prince first. The monk here will be taken back to the Sixteenth Prince's Mansion for detention!" Xiang An couldn't care less about killing people at this time. The roster in his hand was like a soldering iron. Hot!
