A hundred steps north of the school grounds is Li Chengzhi’s residence, and separated by a wall is Yinxuan Temple.
A wooden pagoda, about five or six feet high. A dozen monks stood at the bottom of the pagoda, wrapped in thick fur blankets, and stamped their feet around a bonfire. People were constantly coming in and out of the pagoda door, all of them naked.
He was only wearing a pair of calf-nosed trousers. He was covered in mud from top to bottom and was shivering from the cold.
When each monk comes out, he carries a cloth bag and dumps the wet mud in it at the door, and then returns to the pagoda in an endless stream.
Looking further inside, there seems to be a well at the bottom of the tower, from where the monk carried the wet mud. As the monk went up and down, mist floated out of the well from time to time, which seemed to be quite deep.
On the top of the tower, Bai Mei and Fa Neng were leaning on the railing and looking from a distance, both with angry expressions on their faces.
Hearing the cheers, the old monk pointed to the soldiers in the school field and asked in a hissing voice: "Those soldiers should be the tiger soldiers who train in the school field on weekdays, right?"
Faneng squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the white tiger flag standing not far away, and cursed bitterly: "It's the journey under the command of that thief Li Chengzhi..."
When he heard about Li Chengzhi, his white eyebrows sighed: "How many lifetimes of sins has a monk committed before he met such an evil neighbor?"
Several years ago, the old monk had his eye on this geomantic treasure land under Jinyong City. First, he used both overt and covert tactics to forcefully occupy Ningxuan Temple, which was later renamed Yinxuan Temple.
Later, in order to plan for a big event, Bai Mei tried every means and tried his best to accept Jia Can, the fifth-grade food taster in the palace, as his eldest disciple.
Taking a closer look, Baimei has some connections with Jia Can.
Baimei was implicated because his disciple Gao Bodhisattva had an affair with Feng Run, the emperor after Xiaowen was deposed, and wanted to murder the late emperor with the tactics of being tired of winning. Not only did he lose his official position, but now he can't even enter the imperial city, let alone recruit disciples. p>
Jia Can's father was also one of Feng Run's accomplices, so his entire family was wiped out. Only his youngest son, Jia Can, was punished and sent to the palace because of his young age.
But who knew that it would be self-defeating?
I thought that Jia Can would be gnashing his teeth at the emperor when his whole family was executed. But he didn't expect that just because Yuan Ke took the initiative to return his ancestral home, he actually forgot about his great grudge and opposed the emperor's gratitude?
In this case, how could the old monk dare to let him participate in important events again? He settled for the next best thing and wanted Jia Can to dedicate this mansion so that the Holy Cult could hide soldiers, armor, horses, and weapons. p>
What’s more, Jia Can didn’t expect that all his relatives were dead, and he wanted to choose someone to take care of him when he was old and to inherit the incense, but he had nowhere to choose, yet he was extremely greedy for money?
Before Bai Mei could make a move, Jia Can took the lead and rented out the house.
I rented it out three times, but all three times I was frightened away by Baimei using tricks such as calling in the middle of the night and having a wild fox knock on the door.
But on the fourth time, it didn’t work?
The fox pretending to be a fairy was shot dead by Li's servants before he even got close to the door. It is said that the meat was given to the coolies who made ice, and the fur was made into a fox collar...
The monk who pretended to be a ghost was even worse. Several of them were beaten and disabled by Li's servants who were lurking outside the house...
Knowing that Li Chengzhi was the culprit who massacred hundreds of thousands of Holy Sect brothers in Jingzhou, and guessing that he was not someone to be taken lightly, the old monk temporarily tolerated his anger and ordered all the disciples to be on guard and stay away as much as possible.
Go.
But who would have thought that the secret passage that was well dug would suddenly be flooded, and more than forty disciples were drowned in the secret passage on the spot.
Later I found out that the well was dug too deep by the neighboring government, causing the underground water to change its course...
The old monk is now filled with regret: If I had known this, I shouldn't have attempted to plunder the house by force. Whether it was buying or renting, I would have gotten the house from Jia Can first...
It took nearly two months to finally dig another one. But Li Chengzhi actually asked his soldiers to pile snow into the valley water again?
If you want to connect the tunnel to the imperial city, you must pass through the moat. However, in spring, summer and autumn, water flows all the time in the river, so construction can only be started in winter when the upstream dries up and there is no water in the river. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause the river bottom to collapse.
But now that Li Chengzhi is doing this, doesn’t it mean that water has accumulated in the river again? And in winter, there is so much snow in Luoyang. If it piles up every time it snows, what is the difference between the constant flow of water in the river in summer? p>
Bai Mei and Li Chengzhi are more than just enmity upon enmity, hatred upon enmity?
But what’s the use of hating anymore?
The old monk took a deep breath: "It's useless to talk more. Now I can only take care of it and make other plans... How are the arrangements for sneaking into the palace's secret room?"
"The disciples have been settled and can enter the palace today: one is the younger brother of Li, the favored concubine of King Yuan Yu of Jingzhao, and the other is an old servant of King Yuan Xie of Shi Ping. They all have sworn enemies with the current ruthless emperor, so they should be considered innocent.
Yu..."
"Have you sorted out the beginning and the end?"
"Master, don't worry, I'm trusting you with the White Horse Temple's door, so you will be able to enter the palace safely. And there are three people who are trusting me, so even if the incident happens, I won't be able to find my disciple..."
"Hmm!"
Bai Mei nodded with satisfaction, and then explained, "Opportunities are hard to come by, so be sure to hit them with one strike. You must tell the two righteous men: If you are not completely sure, you must not act..."
Faneng nodded heavily: "Disciple understands!"
Just as they responded, they suddenly heard a whistle in the school grounds. Although it was sharp, it was long-lasting. After hearing it for many days, both Bai Mei and Faneng knew that this was an order to withdraw troops and return to camp.
Seeing hundreds of soldiers collecting shovels and unloading trucks, and lining up in an orderly manner to enter Jinyong City, Bai Mei's eyes narrowed into a slit: Li Chengzhi was just suffering from scabies, and the emperor was the original servant. If he doesn't take Yuan Ke's dog in this life
Ming, what kind of person does Gao have to go to see his ancestors under the Nine Springs?
My dear, let’s see how your father avenges you?
……
Li Chengzhi always sticks to his word.
When it comes to eating sheep, you will definitely eat sheep. When it comes to appreciating wine, you will never be short of one.
All the dudes were in high spirits and started filming wildly.
After the battle with Yuan Shiwei, after seeing Li Chengzhi's force, scheming, skills, and the emperor's attitude, a group of second-generation ancestors could not be more obedient.
After their minds calmed down, the disciples slowly discovered that serving as a soldier under Li Chengzhi was not as uncomfortable as they imagined.
Although the training was hard, Li Chengzhi took the lead every day and trained more than the soldiers, never less than the soldiers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although the rules are strict, just don’t break them.
Human nature is like this: since you are destined to be unable to resist, you can simply lie down and enjoy it... and those who fight hard when encountering adversity are the minority, otherwise why can they become typical?
Therefore, as long as Li Chengzhi is a little more relaxed, all the dandies will feel like they are celebrating the New Year...
Holding a fan of mutton chops and chewing Zhengxiang, a young eunuch came outside the barracks and said solemnly: "Li Shilang, His Majesty has decreed that you will enter the palace immediately!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Li Chengzhi tore into the fat and tender mutton slowly, "If Huangmen doesn't come in to warm up, can we use some together?"
The flesh on the eunuch's face twitched, and he hurriedly responded: "Thank you so much..."
No one is as lazy as Li Chengzhi.
There are more than tens of thousands of officials in the capital, whether they are Yuan Jia, Yuan Yi, Gao Zhao, who are among the three princes, or all the princes in the court. Whenever His Majesty is summoned, they are all frightened and eager to fly to the palace.<
/p>
Li Chengzhi is good. Every time the Holy Order comes to him, he is always unhurried, not at all flustered, and seems to be a little reluctant?
But His Majesty still did this...
After waiting for nearly a moment, until Li Chengzhi had gnawed half of the mutton chops clean, and the dog would cry when he saw it, he wiped his hands and stood up in an orderly manner.
"I've been waiting at Huangmen for a long time, let's go!"
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the way.
Horses are prohibited in the palace, so you can only walk. But the palace city covers an extremely large area, from Jinyong City to Taiji Hall, Shiqian Hall, etc., it is more than two miles.
Taking advantage of the time on the road, Li Chengzhi secretly wondered what the emperor wanted from him.
After that night, Li Chengzhi had a guilty conscience. He rarely entered the palace unless absolutely necessary, such as leading a tiger soldier to stay for a while. However, the emperor went as usual. He summoned him when he was in a good mood, but when he was in a bad mood, he rarely entered the palace.
Summon him. He will be summoned even more when he sees something new or has a sudden idea. The king and his ministers will meet each other in three or two days.
I think I just played chess with Yuan Ke the day before yesterday. I remember it was as usual.
This little eunuch can suppress his dissatisfaction and wait for a moment, so it's nothing serious...
It has been nearly half a month since that night. The queen has summoned him five or six times, intentionally or unintentionally. With the emperor's support, Li Chengzhi refused without exception, using the excuse of being busy with military affairs.
I wonder what happened to that woman Gao Ying?
I guess it’s not that accurate...
With random thoughts running through my mind, I arrived at Shiqian Palace before I knew it.
There is a bowl of goat's milk warm on the stove, which has been roasted until it becomes sticky, and the whole palace is filled with the fragrance of milk.
There are several tables next to the stove, and there are also some food items, including pickles, hot soup, a small bowl of rice, a plate of oil cakes, and a plate of tofu mixed with green onions, but there is no meat.
Judging from the situation, the emperor had a poor appetite and only moved his chopsticks a few times.
Yuan Ke was slumped on the Imperial Master's chair, his face full of sorrow. When he saw Li Chengzhi entering the palace, he quickly sat up. Without waiting for him to ask for a courtesy, he said: "Shall I discuss this with you?"
Let’s discuss?
How can any emperor speak to his ministers in such a tone?
Even though Yuan Ke seems innocent and is very good at disguise, he rarely uses the word "discuss".
You can see how difficult it is?
Li Chengzhi's heart rang with alarm bells, and he cautiously tried: "Your Majesty, please tell me!"
Seeing that he was acting like a guard against thieves, the emperor said helplessly: "The queen came to me again and complained that once Sanniang resigned from the palace, she didn't even have a confidant around her to talk to. Gu Zhen was upset by crying, so she summoned You come..."
If the emperor was more cruel, it would not be impossible to completely ignore the queen. But the two had grown up since childhood, and because of Hu Chonghua's assassination, Yuan Ke felt somewhat guilty towards Gao Ying and could not bear to do this.
Furthermore, the Queen is not imprisoned at the behest of the Queen, or abolished at the behest of the Queen. One bad move will shake the foundation of the country. However, Gao Ying got some advice from someone, and changed his normal behavior. Every time, he would only cry but not make trouble, and just pretend to be pitiful. , giving Yuan Ke a headache and upset...
Li Chengzhi's head went numb when he heard this sentence!
If it weren't for the fact that he and the emperor were the only two people in Nuan Pavilion, Liu Teng was guarding the pavilion door from a distance like a little transparent person. There were no soldiers running outside the palace, and there was no sound of armor leaves shaking. Li Chengzhi almost thought that What happened that night happened.
Brother, are you really good at it?
You can't comfort your wife by yourself, why don't you come to me to find a solution?
Even if we are about to become brothers-in-law, our relationship will never reach this level?
What's more, your mother-in-law has already had semen in her head and is burning with desire. Do you know what will happen if you let me go?
For a moment, Li Chengzhi didn’t know how to complain.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, before Li Chengzhi could shake his head, the emperor's face sank and he shouted angrily: "I'm not letting Sanniang come back now, why are you panicking?"
Not even now... hmm?
Sanniang?
"I was impatient with the empress, so I agreed to her: wait for the month after your wedding, I will let Sanniang resurrect and continue to serve as the palace historian of Zhaoyang..."
It’s not that the gift is inappropriate: there are a lot of women in the palace, many of whom are already married. But most of them have been married for many years and have children and are called back to the palace. But Gao Wenjun, who has just got married, is allowed to enter the palace.
Yes, there really isn’t.
It's a little unkind, that's why the emperor is in such a difficult situation...
Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Is it true that as soon as Gao Wenjun left the palace, the queen was depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to?
Very possible!
It's also Yuan Ke's fault that he became increasingly indifferent to Gao Ying and didn't even want to see him more often. With Gao Ying's temperament, how could he not become a resentful woman?
But Li Chengzhi always felt that this drunken woman was not interested in drinking and had no good intentions...
Li Chengzhi hesitated and said: "To be honest with your Majesty, I cannot make the decision alone. I have to wait until after the wedding to ask Sanniang and my parents before I can make a decision..."
The emperor nodded frequently: As long as Li Chengzhi agrees, this matter will not be difficult.
"We should wait until after your wedding to make a decision. Calculating the time, there are still two months, so there is no need to rush..."
The emperor felt a little relieved and suddenly felt that he had some appetite. He pointed at the table and said: "Please use some with me!"
Li Chengzhi doesn't like vegetarian food, and what's in front of him is not enough to stuff his teeth.
But this was just the emperor's way of showing favor, and Li Chengzhi didn't take it seriously. He just responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have already used it. Just drink a bowl of hot soup!"
During the performance, a palace maid quickly stepped forward and set out a new bowl and chopsticks for Li Chengzhi.
The emperor ate slowly, and Li Chengzhi could only accompany him slowly. It was not easy to sit still all the time, so he drank three large bowls of vegetarian soup.
After finally waiting for the meal, Li Chengzhi was about to retire when he heard Liu Teng remind the emperor: "Your Majesty, yesterday Hu Guiren sent someone to tell you that at noon today, an eminent monk from the White Horse Temple came to Qingquan Palace to give a lecture..."
The emperor paused: "If you don't mention it, I will forget it..."
While muttering in his mouth, he pointed at Li Chengzhi: "Come with me!"
Immediately, a palace maid came to change the emperor's clothes. Li Chengzhi rolled his eyes and moved closer to Liu Teng: "What scriptures are you talking about?"
"It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and Chonghua, a nobleman, has not been out of the palace for several days, and feels very depressed. It finally cleared up today, but the wind outside the palace was strong, and the nobleman might have caught the cold, so he invited an eminent monk from the White Horse Temple to come into the palace to give a sermon.
, to relieve depression..."
Hehehe...
Li Chengzhi sneered secretly and glanced at Yuan Ke.
No wonder Gao Ying wants to make trouble for you. Isn’t this too unfair?
You deserve it!
From time to time, the emperor would be wrapped up like a bear. He would go to Qingquan Palace with all his ceremonial ceremonials...
ps: I can’t complain, but it has become a key protection zone overnight? I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I have to take a day off. I hope you can forgive me!
