Chapter 153: The Role of Public Opinion Under the oil lamp, Ke Han worked hard all night to write, signed "an insider", and wrote two manuscripts, respectively titled "Tell you a real Jiedushi" and "Self-immolation, just for
With the title "Reunited with My Beloved Wife", it boldly reveals Liu San's experience and the true face of Zhenbei Hou's family from different aspects based on facts.
He was busy until early in the morning. According to Ke Han's 21st century timekeeping method, it was about 3 o'clock in the morning. He re-copied the manuscript a few times, then fell asleep and caught up before the sun fell.
Before dawn, he ran out and posted several manuscripts at the entrances of the four city walls.
The next day, the truth about Liu San's self-immolation incident spread by word of mouth in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, and became a topic of conversation after dinner.
At Zhenbei Hou's house, the maid who went to buy vegetables came back and hurriedly told the master and his wife that there were several notices posted on the city wall, and they were discussing the cause of Liu San's death and the affairs of the master and his wife's family. I heard that someone disclosed it.
What happened to Liu San and the truth about his death?
When the Marquis of Zhenbei heard the news, he couldn't help but became furious. He summoned all the servants at home and warned everyone that from now on, no one was allowed to mention Liu San's affairs. Everything about Liu San had nothing to do with the Beihou Palace!
Then, Zhenbei Hou roared: "It's just playing the piano randomly! The rumors outside are all slander, slander and slander! I would like to implore the emperor to instruct Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation..."
The servants and maids stood together in fear, not even daring to make a sound.
During this period, the second young master and the young master were imprisoned, and the military commander had a bad fight with the master and his wife because he wanted to replenish his wife and took an actress as a concubine. Then, the newly found granddaughter Ruth coughed up blood again.
Although she is weak, she has already married a servant in the palace. This series of events seems to be concentrated during the old man's birthday. Do you want to give the old man a blow?
Just because of these things, the old man couldn't bear it. He often got angry for no reason, and cursed people for no reason. Therefore, when they heard the old man yelling like crazy, everyone was extremely nervous.
Shen, will be treated as the master’s punching bag and be scolded or even beaten severely.
So, at this moment, the servants and servants who worked for the family's livelihood were silently enduring the noise and did not dare to meet the eyes of Zhenbei Hou. The hall was in chaos again!
The kitchen workers, servants and maids all stood there in bewilderment.
"Go away, go to work, why are you standing here?!" The dizzy Hou Chao of Zhenbei was yelled hysterically by the servants he called over. After hearing this scolding, everyone ran away happily and went their separate ways.
Got busy
Although Zhenbeihou controlled and unified the servants at home, the notice-like documents at the city gate were like bombs, catching Zhenbeihou by surprise.
The Marquis of Zhenbei almost went crazy, because he asked to see the emperor several times, but was declined. Moreover, even the minister of Dali Temple, who he always thought he had a harmonious relationship with, avoided him.
What a disaster! Unexpectedly, Liu San's death caused him to lose his life and ruin his reputation?! The Marquis of Zhenbei let out a long cry, and the resentment accumulated in his heart made him sick.
Jiedushi Chen Kaiqi, who had just returned to the Western Regions and had not yet established himself, suddenly received the news that his father was seriously ill, and he was in a bad mood.
This is the second thing. Another thing is that when he went back to celebrate my husband's birthday, he happened to meet his granddaughter Ruth, whom he had not seen for many years. Although he was overjoyed, he was troubled because of her inherited lung disease, so he found the famous and extremely responsible granddaughter in Kyoto.
His doctor came to actively treat his condition and his condition improved greatly. However, what he couldn't accept was that this gentle and kind-hearted granddaughter actually secretly married a useless servant? How can this be tolerated? No matter what, he can't do it again.
They were brought together, and for this reason, they were violently separated.
There is another more important thing, that is, he, who has been widowed for many years, returned to the capital this time, specifically to meet the Huai Opera actress who has always fascinated him, and also saw their illegitimate daughter, and then, with his parents
When he mentioned that he wanted to take her as a concubine, he was severely reprimanded and told that the reason for the rejection was that women are ruthless and actors are unrighteous. He was scolded for his stupidity. To be honest, when he returned to the Western Regions this time, he was still angry.
Those who went out did not even say hello to the two elders, but left angrily and hastily.
Chen Kaiqi is in a state of confusion! Recently, due to family troubles, even the war has been implicated. Fortunately, he still has some power, and foreigners dare not go too far. They only do evil things occasionally. At least, for the time being, they can still
Dare not attack by force, but this is not a long-term solution! Chen Kaiqi barely managed to hold on. This time, even his father was ill in bed and could not go back.
While hesitating about his decision, suddenly, he received news from the Pegasus at the post station. After receiving the emperor's edict, Chen Kaiqi, the military envoy to the Western Regions, returned to Beijing quickly. What happened was unknown.
Jiedushi Chen Kaiqi was particularly surprised when he received the news. What a coincidence. First, his father was seriously ill, and then the emperor recalled him to the capital. How could he just leave this borderland of the Western Regions? How could it be so simple? Is there something wrong?
business?
…
In the Dingxi Hou Mansion, the inn clerk bid farewell to Lord Xi with great gratitude, and took his riding whip to leave.
"Haha, sir, you have worked hard all the way. King Xi has asked someone to prepare some mung bean soup and fill it in a gourd for you to drink on the road." Dingxi Hou smiled and carefully tightened the gourd.
He handed the cover to the communications clerk at the inn, and said casually, "Expresses from the palace must be delivered quickly without delay! However, it has been years since I saw something urgent that I have to send to the inn. I don't know why it is like this."
important?"
"Isn't it because of the affairs of the border guard, the Jiedu Envoy of the Western Regions?" The junior official cautiously stopped talking, and then changed the subject and said, "Thank you very much, Marquis Dingxi, for your hospitality. Communications junior official, I don't dare to pass.
Long stay, farewell!"
"This little beast, doesn't it mean you didn't say anything?" Dingxihou muttered, turned back to the courtyard, and shouted angrily to the servants, "Prepare the sedan and go to Jiaoya Mountain."
The servants hurriedly came over, and the four-carriage sedan was already set up. With a "get up", several people held on to the bars and staggered on the road.
Arriving at the foot of the hill, the originally straight passage changed its course and led to a small river. It crossed a small bridge that was obviously redundant. After walking for a while, it made an almost ninety-degree bend, and then, not
In the distance, under a big locust tree near Guan Road, there is a small temple. A wooden stick as thick as a bowl is stuck at the door, about five or six meters high, with a flag on it. On the flag is written
A big word "tea", surrounded by a yellow circle, swaying elegantly in the majesty, has become the only scenery here except the small small temple.
"Four monks!" Marquis Dingxi hurriedly came to the pole with the word "tea" on it, and shouted angrily towards the small temple, "Where are the people? Stand up the corpse?"
There was only a rustling sound in the temple, and then I saw a tall, fat, bald man running out, and said in embarrassment: "Coming, coming -"
"What are you doing? I waited so long and waited for you for a long time to come out. If this little teahouse wants to do what you do, if it expects you to make a living, it will shut down long ago. Why don't you just pack up your bags?
Leave!" Dingxihou scolded and rushed into the small temple.
This small temple was originally called "Songzi Guanyin Temple". It has no abbot, no abbot, and no young monks. It is just a symbolic building.
However, there is a wonderful legend about this small temple
It is said that several years ago, a businessman from other places passed by this big locust tree. When he was tired, he stopped and rested under the trunk. He actually had a dream.
The man dreamed that a kind-hearted and fairy-like person told him: "Blessed are you who lean under this tree! From your eager eyes, I can see how much you are eager to upgrade and become a professional as soon as possible.
Father, get up, build a house under the tree trunk you are leaning on, and let the passing Guanyin sprinkle a drop of fairy dew for your blessing, and your wish will be fulfilled!"
The man didn't believe it at first, but then he thought about it and decided to give it a try. He bowed to the tree trunk and said silently: "God bless you and let my wish come true. When you look back, I will build a small temple for you so that more people can come true."
People will come to praise you and spread your good name!”
A year later, the man came back. He looked for old traces and found the locust tree. He first set off a burst of firecrackers, and then declared to the curious people who gathered around him that he would build a small temple at this place to express his gratitude.
The gods gave him the blessing that his mother-in-law gave birth to a pair of twins: a boy and a boy!
Therefore, the large locust tree that was almost chopped down and used as firewood was regarded by the locals as the incarnation of a holy god and was enshrined.
Later, with everyone's help, it took less than five days to build a small temple under the locust tree. The man named the small temple "Guanyin Songzi Temple".
Later, not only because it was close to the main traffic road and not far from the official inn, but also because of this wonderful legend, the incense was constantly burning.
Later, newlyweds from all over the country came here to worship, and it became an indispensable item. Most of them came to kneel down in this small temple with a strong public welfare and pray for the blessings of the gods. They would have a child early and later, they would develop.
When it comes to praying for peace, wealth, success in the imperial examination, and all other beautiful things,
As the reputation of this small temple spread far and wide, the direction of an official road was actually changed, and it was detoured in a large circle, pulling the original straight official road that was not too close to this one, and changing it to cross a small river.
Even if we are building a bridge, we should get close to this place.
This is probably the legendary turning the impossible into possible?!
Later, this small temple, which had always been a public welfare temple, was taken over by the Marquis of Dingxi. He insisted that it was an official act. Then, he installed a pedestrian safety checkpoint here, less than 500 meters away from the imperial post station.
place, a west exit security checkpoint was set up
Immediately afterwards, even the "Songzi Guanyin Temple" where people knelt down to worship the gods had to pay a fee. Gradually, the place became less lively. However, the security check remained as usual, and passers-by still had to pay for their passage.
Later, the Marquis of Dingxi renovated this small temple and asked the security inspection team leader (this is the fourth monk) to sell tea on his behalf, starting a second side business and generating great income! Of course, only a few people came here to drink water.
The look of those four monks is enough to scare people
But when the fourth monk, who had been scolded by others, saw Ding Xihou rushing straight into the temple, he laughed innocently and muttered: "Master, it's dirty inside, not clean..."
Of course Dingxihou knew that there was a half-mad, half-stupid mentally retarded woman hiding in this small temple. He pretended to step into the house just to put some pressure on the fourth monk and make him more obedient to him.
Of course, letting that silly woman stay here can give the fourth monk some comfort, and it can also be regarded as a contribution to the West Exit. Otherwise, why would a strong man be allowed to guard this desolate, although it is an official security checkpoint?
Is the temple dedicated to working for him?
After thinking this, Marquis Dingxi, who knew it well, also smiled faintly and exited the door in a humane manner. Then, he lifted up the hem of his gown, sat down at the table, waved to the fourth monk, motioned him to come over, and asked: "Four monks
,Is there something strange on this road recently?"
