So what about the clan, it’s not like they haven’t been killed before? Just like Yuan Shiwei and Yuan Shixiao.
"Yuan Yan, if you dare to speak rudely again, believe it or not, I will cut off your sacrificial flag on the spot? If you don't teach me but call it cruel, I will make you convinced!"
Li Chengzhi sighed leisurely and pointed to the banner with the arrow nailed on it: "The emperor's order is here, as if His Majesty is here in person. You are full of filthy words, just like roaring in front of the palace. You also resist the order and disdain the king's order.
, even if I really beheaded you, I was in compliance with the law. Now I only punish you with whipping, which is an extrajudicial mercy. Are you willing to obey?"
Yuan Yan's face turned pale, obviously he didn't expect Li Chengzhi to come for real, and he was very frightened. But his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he wanted to chew Li Chengzhi up and swallow him.
Facing Li Chengzhi's blade-like gaze, Yuan Yan gritted his teeth for a long time, finally not daring to bet on whether Li Chengzhi really had the guts to kill him. Ten Thousand reluctantly lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said: "Someone."
...submit!"
"Just obey!" Li Chengzhi said in a cold voice, "Double it and give it a hundred or so lashes. If you dare to hold back, don't blame me for being ruthless in military law. I'll let you sit together..."
Seeing Li Chengzhi showing his signature sneer again, the guards around him felt their scalp numb and winked at Yuan Yan repeatedly.
A hundred lashes are just a hundred lashes, and they will only hurt the flesh. If you really piss off King Li Yan, he will really dare to kill someone...
Seeing Yuan Yan being pushed down on the spot, Yang Jun stopped sighing: "Although Yuan Yan is shameless, he is still the queen of the clan, so why should you offend him?"
Offended?
Li Chengzhi said strangely: "You have always been a calm person who regards fame as nothing. Now you can't stop being greedy and think that this is a great achievement that has been sent to your door. What's more, someone like Yuan Yan is so arrogant and sees me as
Ning Xing, you idiot who doesn’t take me seriously at all?”
His expression darkened, and he lowered his voice, "Believe it or not, if I didn't subdue him, how dare Yuan Yan disobey my order and order his soldiers to rush into Baode Temple and kill him in a river of blood?"
”
Just as Han Han stopped talking, Yang Jun choked suddenly, and after just a few breaths, cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
For just a moment, he really regretted why he didn't bring the Yazhong soldiers with him when he came...
Well, isn’t that right?
When Li Chengzhi called Yuan Yan a fool, didn't he also scold him, Yang?
When he raised his eyes to curse, Li Chengzhi was already giving orders, and Yang Jun closed his mouth bitterly.
"Yuan Jian, Yuan Yan, Li Bi, He Bo Yun, and Hu Lu Jin: each of you will lead your headquarters and enter the temple to defeat the thieves. However, if you encounter resistance, you will not hesitate to kill..."
After a pause, Li Chengzhi's voice suddenly turned cold, "But remember: just capture the kneeling monk, and you are not allowed to kill indiscriminately. But if you kill a good person and take credit for yourself, don't blame me, Mr. Li, for being unkind.
Yu'er and others will settle the old and new accounts together..."
This was clearly a warning to them: Li Chengzhi had written down in a small notebook their timid behavior when they were frightened by a group of monks.
But the five of them were still so excited that their faces flushed and their whole bodies trembled. They wished they could regard Li Chengzhi as their reborn parents, kneel down and kowtow a few times.
Even if there are no levels of beheading, this is still an achievement in countering the rebellion, but only for the Jia Brigade Ping Zhi?
With the emperor's banner in hand, what's the harm in actually complying with Yuan Yan's request? Sending one brigade into the temple is counterinsurgency, and sending three brigade into the temple is still counterinsurgency. The main credit will only be Li Chengzhi's, even if it is Yuanjia, Yuan
Yi, even if Gao Zhao comes, he won’t be able to leave even half of it.
At most, too many soldiers will enter, and the merits of his subordinates will be diluted a lot. But the brigade commander insisted on it. In order not to share the profit with others, he insisted on punishing Yuan Yan with a hundred lashes?
The five hundred tigers under his command admired Li Chengzhi to the core because he sacrificed his life to save him. Now he is even more grateful to Li Chengzhi.
The five people knelt down together and shouted in unison: "We will definitely live up to the general's trust!"
A bird feather?
Grandpa is afraid that you will get carried away with your pride and avoid being extremely happy and miserable.
Are you really acting like Yuan Yan, and Yuan Gong is just pretending?
Those two are smarter than monkeys, and they know very well that if Zongde is really to be punished for the crime of treason, how can Yuan Yuan not feel resentful?
But if Yuan Yan and Yuan Zong knew that they could achieve great success in suppressing the rebellion so easily, they would probably regret it in their intestines, right?
Li Chengzhi sighed secretly and pointed at the five generals: "Stop making noise and get out of here!"
He scolded and noticed something was wrong. When he looked back, he saw Yang Jun glaring at him.
"I made my brother laugh!"
Li Chengzhi laughed, "I'm just going to bother Brother Ji Sun. I would like to invite you to the palace and present the whole room to Your Majesty: There is a rebellion in the Imperial Temple. This is a serious matter. I dare not take charge of it. Please give me the Holy Judgment."
..."
If you have the banner in hand, you can make peace if you need to, and kill if you need to kill. Why do you need a holy judgment?
I guess the emperor at this time is afraid that you will kill too few...
But it’s also good to be cautious.
Yang Jun sighed sadly: "I know you are sharing the credit with me for my brother, so I appreciate it!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply, grabbed a fast horse from the tiger warrior beside him, and galloped towards the inner city.
Li Chengzhi scratched his chin helplessly: It’s strange, how come he stuffs credit into his hands like a ghost? He never thought that one day he would worry about having too much credit?
How could the emperor reward him for sacrificing his life to save others, and also for suppressing the rebellion?
……
The back garden of Baode Temple.
The entire temple is built along the Luoshui River, and the back garden has the most beautiful scenery. In the courtyard, there are pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions, pine, bamboo, flowers and plants.
There is a large pool covering an area of nearly ten acres, with a rockery standing in the middle. On the rockery lies a stone statue about one foot high and two feet wide.
It looks like a real one, with a long nose and big ears. But at this time, the belly of the stone statue is empty, as if a piece has been dug out.
There is a small boat floating at the bottom of the rocky mountain, swaying gently in the wind.
Zongde was panting as he ran. He lost one of his boots at some point, and the sole of his stocking was pierced by something. He even cut the sole of his foot, and a large amount of blood oozed out.
But Zong Deyu didn't realize it and rushed to the lake like crazy.
The only ride was the small boat, which was in the middle of the lake. The water was extremely deep, more than ten feet deep, but Zongde didn't know how to swim.
Zongde was sweating profusely and cried anxiously: "Zujue...Zujue?"
I called four or five times, but no one responded in the middle of the lake.
Just when Zongde was heartbroken and was about to find something like a wooden board to float over, a weak call suddenly came from the hole under the stone statue: "Husband...husband?"
Then he saw another head sticking out of the hole in horror, with blood on his face.
"Husband... you are really a husband..."
The woman burst out crying, "Zu Jue... Zu Jue transported us here... As soon as we entered the dark room, he pulled out the knife and stabbed Hui'er in the neck...
"I, my eldest sister, and Shu'er worked together and managed to seize the sword after several struggles, but...but my eldest sister and Shu'er had died together with Zu Jue... At this time, Hui'er... Hui'er was also as angry as a thread...
Just my concubine and Yaoer..."
Zong De's eyesight went dark, and he sat down on the ground and shouted in a hissing voice: "Zu Jue, why do I have any grudge against you? Why do you want to destroy my whole family..."
"He said before he died... that he had obeyed the will of the future Buddha to send us to a blissful rebirth..."
The future Buddha... Mahayana?
Zujue was his disciple, how could he believe in Mahayana?
Just as I was in agony, heartbroken and terrified, bursts of violent roars came from the direction of the mountain gate: "Kneel down and don't kill, kneel down and don't kill..."
Just like the sky and the earth falling apart, mountains collapsing and tsunamis.
Are the officers and soldiers coming in?
"Quick... Er Niang, hide in... hide in..."
"Husband, it's too late..." the woman cried bitterly, "As soon as we entered the darkroom, Zujue destroyed the mechanism. How could I lift hundreds of kilograms of stone slabs..."
Zong De's face looked ashen as if he had been struck by lightning. He even seemed to have lost his soul and murmured: "It's over..."
……
The original site of Baode Temple was originally the royal hunting ground when Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital. After the temple was built, Yuanhong simply allocated all the hunting grounds to Baode Temple. For this reason, he also specialized in raising eagles and harriers, hunting dogs, and accompanying hunting eagle masters.
Cao Yi canceled it.
Therefore, Baode Temple occupies a large area, nearly a thousand acres in width, and is the first of all temples in Beijing. It took nearly an hour by the time Yuan Jian and others searched the entire temple.
Although discerning monks had long shouted and ordered everyone in the temple to kneel down and surrender, many monks were panicking and running around the temple with feverish minds. There were also many monks who wanted to escape over the wall as if they were looking for death. They were killed by Yuan Chen and others.
And the two brigades guarding outside the temple shot more than 200 people.
The remaining three thousand are all tied up with five flowers, connected end to end like candied haws, and strung together.
In addition to monks and nuns, Li Chengzhi actually saw many women with buns, and there were quite a few, forty or fifty.
Could it be a pilgrim?
But there are not many men with long hair around?
Li Chengzhi already had some guesses and was cursing in his heart.
From the time when Buddhism was introduced to China in the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the practice of keeping nuns in large temples and hiding women secretly for monks to release their sexual desires was a common practice. For example, it was commonplace to coerce and induce believers to sacrifice their wives and daughters, or to seduce the wives of powerful men.<
/p>
Yuancheng, the king of Rencheng, said that "the statue is entangled in the smell of fish, and the soul is lost in lust...it destroys human nature and wastes care of human relations..." is by no means alarmist, but has evidence based on investigation.
No wonder Emperor Taiwu wanted to destroy Buddha, and now Yuan Ke is ready to do it again?
Everyone deserves to be killed...
While cursing secretly, he heard the "rumble" of wheels. Li Chengzhi looked up and saw Yuan Chen driving a carriage and running out of the temple.
Although he couldn't see what was hidden in the car, he saw that the car was surrounded by tiger warriors, and they all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy. And everyone's face had a look of joy that he couldn't hide. Li Chengzhi knew that he should be there.
The key person has been caught.
When they got close, Yuan Jian jumped down before the carriage even stopped. He was excited and sneaky and leaned into Li Chengzhi's ear: "Commander of the brigade, have you captured Zongde?"
Sure enough!
Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Bring it out!"
Yuan Jian gave a low response and waved his hand again. A tiger soldier opened the car curtain and lifted out a fat monk in his thirties who was covered in blood.
Judging from his face, he is 60 to 70% similar to Yuan Yuan.
This is the eldest son of Yuan Jia. He was supposed to inherit the title of King of Guangyang, but for some reason he became a monk. Yuan Sengbao, whose name is Zongde?
While looking closely, I saw that in addition to Yuan Sengbao, there was also a slim woman and a boy about two or three years old who were also brought out.
Just like Yuan Sengbao, he was also covered in blood and had rags stuffed in his mouth.
Looking further inside, Li Chengzhi frowned fiercely.
No wonder you're covered in blood?
In addition to these three living people, there were also four dead bodies inside the small carriage?
The tall one should be a monk. Of the other three, one seems to be a woman, and the other two are a man and a woman, all of whom are half-grown children.
Judging by their stature, the older girl is in her early ten years and the younger girl is only five or six years old.
Li Chengzhi asked suspiciously: "Why is this?"
Yuan Jing pointed at Yuan Sengbao and replied in a low voice: "According to the living woman, she and the dead woman were Zongde's concubines and had been hiding in the temple for many years. Those two men and one woman, then
They are Zongde's children... That monk is Zongde's third disciple. He said that he was ordered by the future Buddha to send her whole family to a blissful life..."
Li Chengzhi was shocked: Brother, are you good at playing?
Well, the future Buddha's decree...is Mahayana again?
Is it possible that this Zongde and everyone in Baode Temple have become Mahayana believers?
He pointed at Yuan Sengbao: "Tear the rag out of his mouth!"
Zongde had already burst into tears, his eyes were as red as blood, and his voice was like a ghost crying and a wolf howling: "Zukong, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost..."
Li Chengzhi shook his head in disgust and said in a cold voice: "Yuan Sengbao, if you don't want your wife and children to end up being cut to pieces, just talk to me honestly..."
