, and then Shanghai, non-stop, unable to code, so I'm sorry, I will update it as soon as I come back, I just ask for your forgiveness, brothers.
In Youzhou City, Fengxianfang and Tianwang Temple.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty promoted Buddhism and first built Guanglin Temple. In the Sui Dynasty, it was renamed Hongye Temple. In the Tang Dynasty, Tianwang Temple began to exist. The temple is divided into front and rear, Jieyin Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Amitabha Hall, and Tianwang Hall to form the front temple, where pilgrims can offer offerings to the Buddha.
The back temple, also known as Lan Ruo Yuan, is a place where monks stay and chant sutras.
The front temple had long been occupied by military men, and all the passages were strictly controlled. The monks were all driven into the rooms of Lanruo Temple in the back temple. Everyone had a look of fear on their faces and kept chanting the Buddha's name.
It was completely dark now, and there were only two tall candles burning in the abbot's room. The dim flames of the candles dimly reflected the image of Amitabha on the Buddhist niche. Two monks were sitting on a futon under the Buddhist niche, talking in a low voice.
"Junior Brother Shanneng, if the situation is not harmonious, it may affect the monks of the temple." When the matter came to a close, the fat monk was worried. He turned the Buddha beads in his right hand and repeated this sentence that he had said many times before.
"Brother Shanming, I have said it many times. Don't worry, Gaomen in Youzhou will gather at your temple to worship Buddha. This is a grand event for Buddhism. Even if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with your temple. Let's talk about it, we Buddhists
Even if there is an eventuality, Tennoji Temple and Longxiang Temple belong to the same lineage, and they will never sit back and watch the disaster in your temple. Brother Shanming can take the monks of the temple and go to Longxiang Temple to take refuge in the future.
There’s nothing to worry about when I look for an opportunity to come back.”
"But...if Buddhists don't tell lies and say something that has nothing to do with our temple, they are afraid of going to tongue-pulling hell..."
"Captain Li believes in Buddhism and respects Buddha. This is a blessing for Buddhism. For the sake of the prosperity of Buddhism, it is worthy for Buddhist disciples to feed tigers with their own bodies. As the saying goes, if I don’t go to hell, who will go to hell? For the sake of Buddhism, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself. Senior brother deserves the Three Treasures
True Tathagata!"
The fat monk lowered his head and chanted: "Amitabha"
Shanneng also recited "Amitabha", and then continued: "Dudu Li said that after the completion of the matter, Tianwang Temple will be the first of all the temples in Youzhou, and will be in charge of each temple's ultimatum. Brother Shanming, don't have any doubts. This is a good deed of our temple.
Senior brother, I have come to plead for you. Junior brother has said this before, and he will say it again now. In the future, he will not only say it, but also achieve it. Governor Li is a man of faith, so just be at ease, senior brother."
The fat monk let out a long breath and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice again: "Amitabha, how could I not believe what my junior brother said? Junior brother is now a highly praised eminent monk and virtuous master on the grassland. I don't think he would lie to me."
Shanneng smiled and said: "This is natural, how can you deceive senior brother? Senior brother is superb in Buddhism and benefits the world. He will definitely be a virtuous person in the future. How can his achievements be lower than those of senior brother?"
Shanneng comforted Abbot Shanming in Lanruo courtyard, and the reception hall of the former temple was brightly lit. More than a dozen high-ranking Youzhou families gathered in the hall, anxiously waiting for the news.
As soon as the news came that the Huaiyue Allied Forces suddenly occupied Yong'an, there was an immediate chaos in Youzhou City. After guard Liu Yanlang hurriedly assigned military duties to defend the city, he went up to the top of the city. It was said that the enemy would not descend the city wall until they retreated. Fortunately, the city gates were closed.
It was more timely, otherwise the enemy might have already invaded the city at this moment. After discovering the enemy's cavalry under the city, Liu Yanlang did not dare to take a step down the city. He patrolled back and forth on the city wall to be closely guarded against the enemy's attack.
He handed over all matters of comfort and inspection in the city to General Magistrate Guo Bingcheng.
With Guo Bingcheng's full cooperation, these wealthy families in Youzhou immediately took action and gathered in Tianwang Temple to discuss plans for the incident.
In fact, everything has been arranged long ago and is waiting to be launched. Liu Zongzong, who was sent by Yingzhou, also fell from the top of the city looking for an opportunity. As long as the contact is correct, he can take action.
Gao Liu, Wang Jingrou, Li Juncao, Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo and other prominent names in Youzhou City were all sitting in the reception hall. From time to time, everyone looked up at Guo Bingcheng, who was fanning himself, or whispered
He would chat with Qian Wuchang and Yu Lai, or look at the dark night sky outside the hall from time to time, silently thinking about his own affairs.
It is also different among wealthy families. The Gao family, Wang family, and Li family were all former military leaders, raising thousands of private soldiers, and had extremely conflicting feelings about Li Chengzhong taking over Youzhou. Therefore, the Gao Liu family, Wang Jingrou, and Li Juncao three
The expressions of the people in the palace were complicated, they were very unwilling, but they had no idea what to do. Speaking of which, this was nothing more than driving away the wolf with the front foot and luring the tiger with the back foot. In fact, neither Liu Shouguang nor Li Chengzhong were satisfied. The main problem was of course
It is still the dismantling of various private armies. But now that the matter has come to this, the three families can only "choose the lesser of two powers that harm each other". They can serve Governor Li painstakingly once, and at least they can still get a wealthy inheritance.
The Han family, the Yuan family and other wealthy families are different. They are relatively happy and excited about the emperor of Youzhou. Before the old prince Liu Rengong came to power, these wealthy families had never had the opportunity to control the army. Their influence was not in the army.
It’s more about civil affairs and merchants. But once Li Chengzhong becomes the lord of Youzhou, the situation will inevitably be different. You must know that the new generation of young people represented by Han Yanhui and Yuan Xingqin are rising rapidly in the Yingzhou army.
!
Wang Jingrou looked at Li Juncao, who was staring at the palace beam beside him, dumbfounded and said: "Young Master, your elder brother and Governor Li are so closely related by marriage, is it really impossible to change the relationship?"
Li Juncao was silent for a moment and said: "I did not hide it from the veterans. A certain family man had written a letter to his family a few days ago, and he actually agreed to the matter. We have been a town in Youzhou for hundreds of years, and the administrative and military powers have never been unified, so that in the east of the river,
The Xuanwu vassalage suddenly rose up and suffered successive defeats in battles. This is the source of my thoughts. It is of no use to talk about these things now. Our two families have no troops for a long time. From now on, we can just pretend that the past is in vain.
What happens in the future depends on young people."
Wang Jingrong sighed: "I'm just unwilling..."
Li Juncao smiled faintly: "What's the point of being unwilling to do this? Can't the old sister of the Gao family just be at peace? They have soldiers in Guizhou, why are they surrendering now?"
Wang Jingrou glanced at Mrs. Gao Liu who was sitting firmly in the chair with her eyes closed, and said in a low voice: "She has a good temper and is as stable as a mountain. I wonder if she will be able to deal with it calmly if she is overpowered by the Han and Yuan families in the future. Your family
I finally have a marriage with the governor, so I won’t lose much anyway. Unfortunately, I don’t know if my child will be able to make a difference in the army in the future."
Li Juncao looked at Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo and others. These people were talking enthusiastically around Guo Bingcheng, Qian Wuchang, Yu Lai and other Yingzhou cliques. He sneered and said: "Old Han has given birth to a good son, and now he is under Governor Li.
The people around me are red and purple, and the Yuan family is not bad, commanding an army alone in Yuguan, but if veteran Ma thinks that the elder sister of the Gao family is done with it, then he is underestimating her!"
Wang Jingrou asked curiously: "How did you say this?"
Li Juncao said coldly: "What we can see, how could the old sister of the Gao family not see it? Don't forget, the Gao family has pearls and jade, but half of Youzhou is empty!"
Wang Jingrou said with emotion: "You mean..."
Li Juncao said: "Everyone in Hebei Province knows that Governor Li is so beautiful. Lady Wanzhi is famous all over Youzhou, Princess Yinyue's grassland is stunning, and Taifu Wu's daughter is crowned the Bohai Sea. Are the jewels of the Gao family incomparable? You must know that around the Governor,
Now the main room is still empty..."
Wang Jingrou stood stunned for a moment and sighed: "It turns out that the old sister of the Gao family has such a good plan!"
Li Juncao shook his head and said: "Of course it's a good idea. If a certain family has such a talent, I won't miss it."
The Gao family has pearls and jade, but half the city of Youzhou is empty. It is the story of Qiniang, the beloved daughter of the Gao and Liu family, whose nickname is Zhuyu. Qiniang's reputation spread throughout Hebei, and every time she travels, people from Youzhou rush to watch.
As for the other half of Youzhou City, it was completely empty. At that time, Liu Shouguang also admired the beauty of Qiniang and proposed marriage to the Gao family many times. Fortunately, the Gao family was strong and the Gao Liu family had a tough temper, so they could withstand Liu Shouguang's unreasonable demands.
Later, for safety reasons, the Gao family sent Qiniang to live temporarily in Guizhou, and they escaped the disaster. Otherwise, how could Liu Shouguang, who had rebelled and took power, let her go.
This time the Gao Liu family made up their minds to marry Li Chengzhong. Naturally, what they want is not as simple as a side wife. Once Qiniang becomes Li Chengzhong's main wife, the Gao family will never be able to escape their wealthy status, whether they are in charge of military affairs or not.
.
Wang Jingrou suddenly heard this secret, and couldn't help but pace up and down the reception hall, carefully thinking about the girls in his house, counting them one by one, and finally reluctantly admitted that Mrs. Wang was really not as good as Mrs. Gao
Ah, the total of more than ten people is not as good as one! But he was relieved immediately. Considering the close relationship between the Gao family, the Wang family and the Li family, the Gao family’s married daughter is a big deal for the Wang family and the Li family.
It’s not a bad thing. If the Gao family eats meat, the Wang family and the Li family will have a share of the pie. So Wang Jingrou started to figure out which of the girls in his family were handkerchiefs to the Gao family’s seventh mother, and she would follow them when the time comes.
It would be better for Qiniang of the Gao family to marry Li Chengzhong.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly a general hurried in from outside the reception hall. As soon as he came in, he shouted: "Guo Tongpan, madam, there is a fire at the Qingjin Gate!"
The person who came was a general of the Yameni army stationed at the Qingjin Gate, and he was a son trained by the Gao family. The Gao family had taken root in Youzhou for hundreds of years, and had countless children in the army. Just among the original Yameni army stationed in Youzhou, there were many military ranks, big and small.
There were dozens of people there. It was precisely because of this fear that Liu Shouguang did not dare to attack the Gao family at will.
According to the agreement, after Liu Ba fell from the top of the city, as soon as he got in touch with the Huaiyue coalition, he lit a fire under the Qing and Jin gates. As soon as there was an internal response in the city, they agreed to storm the city.
A burst of shouting suddenly erupted in the Jie Yin Hall, and various wealthy families quickly issued military orders. A dense crowd of servants and warriors wearing armor and holding swords poured out from the Medicine Master Hall, Amitabha Hall and Tianwang Hall, and gathered in a row on the stone platform.
Lantern balls and torches illuminate the Tennoji temple.
Gao Liu said: "Bring me my wild goose-winged armor!" With his servants waiting on him, he put on his armor and mounted his horse. Holding his late husband Gao Siji's silver gun in his hand, he flashed the gun in front of the stone platform, showing his vigorous skills.
Not weaker than men.
Gao Liu said to Wang Jingrou and Li Juncao, who were also wearing armor and mounted their horses, and said with a smile: "I haven't been in battle for more than ten years, and I don't know if my old legs and feet can still bear it. Veteran horses, servants, let's go together!"
Wang Jingrou and Li Juncao nodded and said in unison: "See you again today, my sister Zhiwei. It's a worthwhile trip!"
Gao Liu then said to Han Mengyin, Yuan Congbo and others: "You will follow Guo Tongpian to control the situation in the city and do not mess up the rules."
Han Mengyin and Yuan Congbo bowed their heads in agreement and sent each other off.
Guo Bingcheng fanned his head and looked up at Gao Liu on the horse, cheering: "Sister, she looks like a heroine, not what she was when she was a girl!"
Mrs. Gao Liu smiled at Guo Bingcheng, and then shouted to the hundreds of servants from various wealthy families on the stone platform: "Young men, follow me and rush to the door!" After that, he turned his horse's head and ran out of the temple first.
