On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the heavy snow continued, and the people in the capital began to panic. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The soldiers of Shuntianfu and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division not only cleared the snow on the roads every day, but also carried away the frozen people on the roadside and in the houses and put them in one place for centralized processing.

At this time, no one is worried about the prince or the Jizhou snow disaster, whether it is a saint or an ordinary person, they just want the snow to stop as soon as possible.

The saint prayed for the snow to stop for the safety of the entire capital.

It snowed heavily for several days, and the hearts of the people in the city began to fluctuate, and as the food and charcoal stored in the people's homes decreased day by day, and as the number of corpses carried out increased day by day, there began to be bad voices among the people.

What 'if the saint is unkind, God will suddenly bring disaster', what 'the heavy snow is God's warning, and Daqi is about to encounter a catastrophe that has not been encountered in a century', what ......

All kinds of rumors, the saint listened to it and almost kicked over the dwarf case in front of him.

But it didn't take long for the wind to change again, and the spearhead of rumors shifted from the saint to the others.

What traitors are in the court, God can't stand it anymore, and it snows heavily to show warning.

What dragons fight, the world will be chaotic.

What crown prince was killed, God was furious.

The rumors actually came back to the matter of seizing the heir, although this time it did not directly point to King Qi, but as the eldest son of the saint, King Qi was still the most suspicious person.

Even if he is now living with a cigarette gun all day long, and is described as haggard, not human or ghostly because of smoking fairy ointment, rumors about him 'plotting to kill the prince and intending to seize the heir' are still endless.

The heavy snow covered the capital, but it couldn't stop the rumors and the panicked people.

The saints lived deep in the forbidden palace, and they could all feel the turmoil and unrest outside the high city walls.

He issued several secret decrees one after another, and the Jinyi guards commanded Zhao Geng to enter and leave the palace several times, and every time he came out, he had a blue face, and his deep eyes were full of the red light of beasts.

The courtiers and nobles were worried, and this time even the brocade guards were dispatched.

Zhao Geng, the big evil star, will not make a move, as soon as he makes a move, if he does not turn the capital upside down and the blood is flowing, then the killing will not be easy to stop.

The generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were also summoned into the palace by the sage in turn, and after a secret conversation between the monarchs and ministers, soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons appeared on several main streets of the capital.

These people are not here to sweep the snow, they just stand upright in the snow, invisible but intimidating.

Originally, there were still a few figures shaking in the streets and alleys, I don't know if it was because they couldn't stand the hungry and cold people, or if they were small people with ulterior motives, but as soon as the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies appeared, those figures suddenly disappeared.

The deterrence of force seems to have alleviated the restlessness of the capital to a certain extent.

But the sage knew that if the snow did not stop, the capital would not be completely stable.

In previous years, a few snows in winter were like gifts, but this year they scattered snowflakes as if they were dying. I heard the prayers of the kings and ministers and the people of the capital.

The saint was anxious, and when he went back to bed in the harem, he didn't know whether it was a palace maid or a low-level beauty and said, "You might as well invite a few high-ranking monks to do a ritual, even if you can't convince the heavens, you can calm the hearts of the people." ”

The sage thought about it and thought it was feasible, and ordered Jin Lianwei to go to the monastery in the city to invite a few great monks.

Heavy snow fills the world, and the road is not easy to walk, but it is not impossible to move an inch.

Jin Liang Wei sent three teams of men and horses, one team of ten people, two went to Chongxiao Temple and Fayuan Temple, and the other went out of the city on the same day.

The next day, the snow seemed to be lighter, but it was still falling.

Qi Jinzhi heard the news, specially wrapped his coat, and took Qi Dayong and a few other guards to the city gate.

In the past, the bustling city gate was empty except for the guards standing guard.

Qi Dayong stepped forward to ask, the pawn was so cold that his ears and hands were frostbitten, and his face was frostbitten, and he said to Qi Dayong tremblingly: "This is indeed the case, Jinliangwei's brother went out of the city yesterday afternoon, saying that he was going to Dajue Temple to invite Master Jingxuan." It's just that Dajue Temple is in the West Mountain, and the snow on the road is too deep, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a while. ”

Qi Dayong truthfully relayed the words of the pawn to Qi Jinzhi.

Qi Jinzhi frowned, always feeling strange here.

There is a snowstorm in the sky, and the saint wants to find a Taoist monk to do things and pray to the heavens, which is nothing, but why do you have to go to Dajue Temple?

Master Jingxuan is indeed a rare monk, but he doesn't have to be.

The great monks of several temples in Beijing have exquisite Buddhism and high prestige among the people, so it is enough to invite them to appease the people.

Why do you have to go outside the city?

Outside the city? Xi shan? Restlessness in the capital? And the rumors?

One by one, clues flashed in Qi Jinzhi's mind, and he tried to connect them all together, tried several times, but in the end, he was always short of the key link.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Jinzhi returned home, changed out of his clothes and boots that were wet with snow, went directly to the big kang, told Gu Jialuo all his findings, and then said: "Ah Luo, try to think about it, what is there in this!" ”

Gu Jialuo handed him a cup of hot tea, his mind spinning rapidly.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and her mouth suddenly grew, "No, 'he' didn't want to do that, did he?" ”

Qi Jinzhi's eyes lit up, he leaned on the kang table, and poked his head in front of Gu Jialuo's eyes, "Ah Luo, what did you think of?" Say it. ”

Gu Jialuo looked left and right, and finally his gaze fell on Ziwei.

Ziwei understood, beckoned, and took out all the maids who were waiting in the room, and she followed her out, and closed the door when she was ready.

Gu Jialuo leaned into Qi Jinzhi's ear and whispered: "There are not only temples in Xishan, but also camps in Xishan. A few days ago, the saint only mobilized some of the people, and now there are nearly 20,000 people in the camp. In addition, in addition to the monks who chant scriptures in the temple, there are also warrior monks who subdue demons and subdue tigers. No matter how bad it is, put on a monk's robe, in the snowstorm, who can tell the difference? "'He' dared to suggest that the saint go to the Dajue Temple to ask for someone, and the arrangements must have been made there.

Qi Jinzhi's eyes widened, "You mean to say-"

Gu Jialuo said again: "Again, the post road in the capital is blocked, and the news from outside cannot be sent in time." Now none of us know what the disaster situation is in Hebei, Shandong, Jin and other places, and whether the victims who went north will converge with the chaotic people in Hebei. What's more, in such bad weather, even if the rebels have arrived in the capital and surrounded the entire city, we will not be able to detect it. ”

Qi Jinzhi was stunned by the scene depicted by Gu Jialuo: when the snow stopped and the people at the city gate could open their eyes, they found that thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the city, and inside the city, there were gangsters disguised as monks.

Thinking about it more terrifyingly, the Tartars outside the pass were deliberately put into the pass, and at that time, the internal thieves and foreign enemies will work together, the capital is in danger, and the saints are in danger!
