The next day, Xu Bin and Ren Piaopiao set off, while Zhuo Bufan and Zhang Meng were busy building a new home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are two rivers in the sun of Mount Tai, one is called Nai River and the other is called Combing River. Nai River originates from Daiding, from the south of the sky to fly straight down, the river is magnificent, meanders to the West Valley, that is, "Xixi", and then encounters the cliff of a hundred zhang and jumps bravely, forming a waterfall nearly 30 meters high, just like the water of the Milky Way falling from the sky, stirring up thousands of piles of snow on the Black Dragon Pond, the sound of the waves is like thunder, the cool air is overflowing, it makes people feel angry. In the distance, there are fan cliffs and Aolai Peak...... The peaks are majestic. Nearby, there are three hundred-zhang cliffs in the west, south and north. Standing in Xixi, looking at the Baizhang Cliff in the west, the flowing water is Yinyin, the green mountains and green valleys; Looking at the Baizhang Cliff in the south, the hibiscus stands upright, and the waterway is conspicuous. On the north cliff, the riverbed is clean and wide, and there is a light white quartzite belt across the vertical valley on both sides at the top, like a white stripe embroidered on the edge of the cliff, because it has been washed by the flowing water for many years, the surface is smooth like a mirror, the color is distinct, and it is very eye-catching. If a person is on the south side of the quartz belt, the water flow is turbulent under his feet, the cliff is unpredictable, the waterfall is injected into the bottomless old dragon's nest, the mountain wind hunts, he is frightened, he takes a wrong step, and dies in the Yellow Spring; If you are on the north side of the quartz belt, but you see the flowing water, clear and clear, comfortable and calm. One step and two heavens, hence the name "Yin and Yang Realm". The long stone house of Akamatsu Road is built on the wide stone flat of the north cliff. Zhuo Bufan and Zhang Meng built five stone houses on a flat land on the west cliff.

After a few days of busy work, the new house had just been cleaned up, Xu Yanluo's mother and son, Tang Sai'er, and Zhuo Bufan were preparing to move, but they saw that Ren Piaopiao had come back sweaty and panting, and there was a young monk behind him.

Zhang Meng hurriedly picked up the person and let him into the house. only to find that the monk was not injured, but was pointed at limbs and dumb points, just with his eyes open, a little annoyed and a little blank to watch all this.

As soon as he put the monk on a chair, he listened to Ren Piaopiao and said, "Don't touch him, let him stay there honestly, hey, I'm annoyed." After speaking, he sat on the chair, took the water handed by Tang Sai'er and drank it.

Ren Piaopiao took a breath a little, and then asked everyone, "Guess who he is?" ”

Zhang Meng looked at the man in his twenties, slender figure, Chinese face, white skin, thin eyebrows and small eyes, long nose and small mouth, it seemed that the four bodies were not diligent, lack of exercise and slightly obese, not handsome, but also bookish, it seemed that he had just shaved his head, but he was not scarred, and he was thrown there by the old four who did not want to see the acupoints, and he was not a good person.

So Zhang Meng approached and touched the man's head, and said with a smile: "Hehe, old five, you kid, are you bored, where did you catch a little white face pretending to be a monk and a deceitful girl, and pull him up the mountain to take care of it." And the young monk's angry eyes could spurt blood, glaring at Zhang Meng fiercely.

"He is the current emperor, Emperor Jianwen." Ren Piaopiao stretched out her voice, pretending to be deep, and said quietly.

"What?" Zhang Mengxiang was stung by a scorpion, quickly retracted his hand, almost jumped up in fright, and then calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Fourth, what are you kidding?" You haven't seen you for a few days, and you're so bold that you dare to tie up the little emperor's ticket. ”

"He's really Emperor Jianwen." Ren Piaopiao said word by word, but it still seemed to be very normal.

Xu Yanluo also looked at the letter and suspicion, and sure enough, it really looked like Emperor Jianwen, stared at Ren Piaopiao in a trembling voice and asked in surprise: "You, you really arrested Emperor Jianwen?" ”

"It's not to catch, it's to save." Ren Piaopiao still said slowly.

"Speak well!" Zhuo Bufan was also anxious, and said to Ren Piaopiao.

"Yes." So Ren Piaopiao had no choice but to put away the proud look of showing off the selling guanzi he was enjoying, sit upright, and talk about what happened in detail.

That night, Ren Piaopiao and Xu Bin rushed to the outside of the Jingshi City and found that the Jingshi had been surrounded by Zhu Di's army, especially outside the Jinchuan Gate, which was densely packed with three layers inside and three layers outside. The two had no choice but to walk around the city, looking for an opportunity. After going around, I found that in fact, except for the Jinchuan Gate, there was a feeling of heavy troops, and the rest of the gates, the surrounding soldiers were not as many as the Jinchuan Gate. In particular, Shuiximen was camped hundreds of zhang away, the tent was only lit by sporadic lights, and the surroundings were very quiet, and even the soldiers guarding the city were exhausted and dozing off all day except for a few sentry guards.

Xu Bin made a gesture, and the two of them each bypassed the sentry, found a gap, and swooped up, swishing past. The sentinels defending the city heard the wind and turned their heads to look, thinking that two large birds were flying in the air. In this section, there were too many dead and wounded, and many dead bodies did not have time to bury them, and the blood stains did not have time to wipe them, which attracted some birds to peck at them. But there was no food in the city, and some of the birds were caught by the people and the soldiers, and they became a delicacy for the stomach. But the birds still had the courage to come at the end of the night, in the dead of night. Because the wilderness is also full of soldiers and hungry people, what should be eaten and what can be eaten is almost eaten, and the birds are also hiding everywhere.

The two came to Chaotian Palace, knocked on the door of the temple, and were led by Xiao Shami to see Master Pu Qia, and took out the yin and yang rings to explain the intention.

As soon as Master Pu Qia saw the Yin and Yang Ring, he said: "It turns out that the two heroes are entrusted by Brother Chisong Dao and Miss Yanluo, and they have worked hard. The stakes are very high, Xu Zengshou has always been regarded by His Majesty as a minister, and he obeys his words, it is too dangerous to have this person by his side, at least we should hurry up and wake up. The poor monk took the two of them to see His Majesty in person. ”

"Hehe, I can't imagine that the master trusts us so much, and dares to introduce us directly to the little emperor, doesn't he doubt us at all?" Ren Piaopiao asked with a smile.

"Haha, this yin and yang ring was given to Brother Chisong by the poor monk back then. How can a non-Daoist brother's henchmen know that it is a token, and even if they do, who can take this ring from the Daoist brother. Master Pu Qia smiled and sighed, "Back then, Daoist Brother Chisong gave up his meditation and came not far to teach the children in the city a rhyme and made a proverb, 'Don't chase the Yan, chase the Yanyan and fly high, fly high to Gyeonggi.'" 'Spread all over the streets and alleys of Jingshi to show warnings, which can be said to be concerned about the common people and have good intentions. It's a pity that His Majesty still listened to the words of Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and was anxious to cut the domain. Taizu is called Hongwu, His Majesty is called Jianwen, Hongdawugong has not gone to the pain, His Majesty's Wenzhi has just been built, benevolence has not been applied, and the foothold is not stable, so it is indeed too hasty. ”

"Could it be that Zhu Di is going to break through from Jinchuan Gate? Heavy troops were pressed on Jinchuan Gate. Xu Bin reminded.

"Oh?" Pu Qia frowned, "The Jinchuan Gate is guarded by Zhu Lu and Li Jinglong, the king of the valley, and the rest of the gates are mostly under the care of the crown prince Xu Huizu." ”

"Li Jinglong? Is it that Akamatsu Taoist once said that he is Li Jinglong of the contemporary Zhao Kuo? Emperor Jianwen didn't treat him for his crimes, and he was still reusing him? Xu Bin couldn't believe that Zhu Yunwen would use people like this. When the veteran Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen was dismissed after only a small defeat, he was recommended by Huang Zicheng to be replaced by Li Jinglong, but he was defeated by Zhu Di in Zhengcunba and Baigou River, losing hundreds of thousands of teachers, and the offensive and defensive situation was reversed. Ning Zichen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has repeatedly made strict remarks, impeaching Li Jinglong for "losing his discipline and losing his teacher, and having a second heart", and should be killed to thank the world, but Emperor Jianwen did not listen, but he did not expect to continue to reuse him at this critical moment of life and death.

"Amitabha" Pu Qia recited a Buddha horn in a low voice, and said helplessly: "What can Your Majesty do?" Emperor Taizu Gao, in order to prevent the military generals from disagreeing, usurped the throne of his children and grandchildren, and slaughtered too many meritorious generals. Now in addition to the crown prince and the prince Xu Huizu, how many people in the DPRK and China will know how to fight? Although Li Jinglong is not good, he is already a handful of people in this Beijing division. After all, he is the son of Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo, after the gate, I only hope that he will repay his kindness, be brave after knowing his shame, and defend the city. ”

"Hmph, Zhu Hongwu himself killed King Xiao Ming before becoming the emperor, of course he doesn't believe in the loyalty under the temptation of this emperor. People can't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and this Emperor Jianwen, if he spends the belly of a villain with the heart of a gentleman, wouldn't it be even more dangerous. Xu Bin sneered.

The three of them rode to the palace, passing by a brightly lit and wealthy mansion, Pu Qia guided: "This is Li Jinglong's mansion." ”

The three of them looked up, but saw that one person was being sent out of the mansion with a spring breeze on his face, and was waiting to say goodbye and get into the sedan chair. Pu Cha whispered: "That's Xu Zengshou, what did he do when he went to Li Jinglong's mansion in plainclothes late at night?" ”

"Keep up." When Xu Bin's enemies met, they were very red-eyed, "Since you have met, don't let him run away, catch him and go to see Jianwen together." ”

The three of them followed from afar, and when the sedan chair was far away from Li Jinglong's mansion and turned to a secluded place, Xu Bin and Ren Piaopiao's bodies were like two big eagles. Xu Bin went straight to Xu Zengshou in the sedan chair, and Ren Piaopiao pointed to the sedan chair man respectively. How can these people withstand the two of them, three times and five to two, and before they have time to say a word, they have already stood still. That Xu Zengshou was smug in the sedan chair, and he had been dragged out, clicked on the acupoint, and immediately lost to Xu Bin, and walked away.

Master Pu Qia went to the palace first to report, and then a little eunuch led them in. Along the way, the gold was brilliant and magnificent, Ren Piaopiao was dazzled, and said secretly: "His grandmother's, the village husband, is still in order to divide the family unfairly, a field, a bucket of grain and brothers turn against each other, no wonder they fight like dogs." Just like a grave robber desperately trying to dig a grave, who made them so greedy to hide so many good things.

However, this Zhu Chongba may never have dreamed that he would be the emperor in the future. A person named Hanako suddenly picks up a gold ingot, and probably thinks most about how to enjoy it, but how to protect it from losing it. Thinking of this, Ren Piaopiao seemed to see Zhu Yuanzhang's old miser's honest and nervous appearance, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, feeling that he had found a little balance.

Emperor Jianwen did not sleep in the gentle countryside like ordinary people who were holding him around him at this moment, as Ren Piaopiao thought, nor did he sing and dance drunk, grasp the madness, or sigh in the overlord Yu Ji Yu Ji.

When Xu Bin and Ren Piaopiao came in, Emperor Jianwen was wearing a dragon robe to read Xu Yanluo's letters, and the table was also full of chapters, and Pu Qia was standing beside him.

As soon as Emperor Jianwen saw Xu Zengshou being brought in by Xu Bin, he asked, "Xu Aiqing, is this true?" With that, he asked Pu Cha to hand the letter to Xu Zengshou, and Xu Bin also unlocked Xu Zengshou's acupoint.

Xu Zengshou finished reading it and said calmly: "Your Majesty, how can you believe the words of these bandits and Mingjiao rebels. Weichen has been accompanying the king in Beijing, my brother is the crown prince and the prince is swearing to defend the gate of the Beijing Division, we are under the grace of the world, don't you believe in the loyalty of the minister? Maybe this is exactly their counter-plot to collude with the rebellious Zhu Di, besides, they also admitted in their own letters that it was Xu Yanluo who personally let go of the three Zhu Gaochi brothers, how could they blame the ministers? Where is the evidence? ”

"This..."Emperor Jianwen didn't know what to do, he couldn't kill the minister lightly with a letter in a hurry, at most he would no longer trust him in the future, and he would just think about it in the long run.

Ren Piaopiao looked at Xu Zengshou, although he pretended to be calm and vibrated with words, his eyes flickered, and his expression seemed to be a little nervous and worried. With his many years of experience of empty-handedness, he had an expression of hiding something important, so he ran over and re-clicked on his limbs, and took out a letter from his bosom. When I opened it, it was a secret letter written by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, to Xu Zengshou, in which he hoped that Xu Zengshou could persuade Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, and Li Jinglong.

So he didn't care about the etiquette of the court, walked straight forward and handed it to Emperor Jianwen. When Emperor Jianwen saw it, he trembled with anger, and angrily reprimanded Xu Zengshou and said: "King Zhongshan has been loyal and righteous all his life, and I have treated you well, and I regard you as a humerus, why do you want to deceive me?" Why the opposite? Is it because of your sister? Isn't your eldest brother also loyally defending the country? Can you bear to defile your family's loyal lintel for the sake of a married daughter? ”

Xu Zengshou saw that the facts were all there, and there was no denying it, so he simply argued proudly: "Zengshou is not only for my sister, but also for myself, for fairness and justice." My eldest brother and I are both sons of the King of Zhongshan, and my talent is not inferior to my eldest brother, is it just because I am a younger brother, I can only be named a Zuodu governor, but the eldest brother can be the heir of the Duke of Wei, and the descendants are hereditary? Is it wrong for a good man to be a marquis?

I also empathize with my sister-in-law Yan Wang and have the same heart. is also the son of his father, Taizu passed the world to the eldest son, and when the prince died, he passed it on to you. Yan Wanggui is the fourth prince, and he only has to fief the bitter cold land of Beiyan, and he has to defend his family and defend the country to fight everywhere, isn't this enough? After you succeeded to the throne, you even took away this little fief and this little bit of military power, and even forced people to die. Is this fair? ”

Xu Zengshou has always been conceited of his mental eloquence, but calmly took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, you cut the five kings of Zhou, Daiwang, Min, Xiang, and Qi, did they rebel?" No. But the king of Xiang burned himself, and the rest were all abolished as concubines, indicating that if he did not resist, there was no good end, how did the vassal kings not endanger themselves, you are forcing them to stand on the opposite side of you, and King Yan was also forced to rebel by you.

You can't beat King Yan. Yan Wang's account is like a cloud, and you can't compare. Even if it is a civil servant, Emperor Taizu Gao knew the role of literati such as Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen when he raised his army, so he only hoped for the loyalty of literati, and did not need the speculation of literati. The people he left to protect you are loyal, honest but rigid people, although Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are the top of the list, but are they the qualifications of famous ministers and good ministers? No matter what they see or have in their minds, they can't compare to a Taoist monk who is proficient in Confucianism, Taoism, and law. ”

As soon as he said this, a eunuch outside the door ran in in a panic and stumbled, and stammered in fright: "Report, report, report Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, King Gu and Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate and surrendered." ”

When Xu Zengshou heard this, he persuaded him even more seriously: "Your Majesty, soon King Yan will attack you." Those who know the times are Junjie, Your Majesty should hurry out with his ministers to greet him. In fact, King Yan is His Majesty's uncle after all, and he is still very loyal to His Majesty, King Yan is just in 'Jingnan', on the side of the 'Qing Jun', King Yan just hates Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others to provoke family affection and cannibalism, but he has never said that he wants to oppose you and the court. ”

Who knew that Xu Bin said coldly on the side: "It's because he said 'Jing Nan' and 'Qingjun side', so it is impossible to live if he surrenders, otherwise how can he be called emperor, he doesn't even have a reason to abolish the emperor." ”

Xu Zengshou glared at Xu Bin, and continued to speak bitterly, "If Your Majesty takes the initiative to take the throne, wouldn't it be better, King Yan is grateful, how can you kill Your Majesty, and the minister will also swear to protect Your Majesty's safety." Your Majesty's descendants can also escape a catastrophe, and the wealth will be eternal? ”

"Hehe, you still want to keep yourself rich and safe." Ren Piaopiao sneered.

Xu Zengshou only saw the weakness and elegance of Emperor Jianwen, but underestimated the dignity of an emperor and the integrity of a literati.

When Emperor Jianwen heard this, he took out the sword he had been wearing for the past two days, came to Xu Zengshou tremblingly, pointed at Xu Zengshou and scolded angrily: "You, you have no king and no father, it is all a good thing you have done, and you still have the face to persuade me to surrender." As he spoke, he was furious and stabbed his sword into it.

Perhaps, this is the first time he has killed someone. When he pulled out his sword, and the red blood spurted out of Xu Zengshou's cavity, he was almost stupid, and then he dropped the sword, and laughed madly in the hall with tears in his eyes, "Rebel, thief, Zhu Di, you got your wish, aren't you here for this throne?" Do you know what this throne is? It's power, it's poison, it's insane, it's cannibalistic, it's going to make you restless. ”

Then he ran to the inner palace and locked himself in the house.

When Xu Bin and Ren Piaopiao saw the fire in the inner palace, they felt that the general situation was not good, and guessed that Emperor Jianwen might want to commit suicide. So, Xu Bin rushed over and kicked the door open and rescued Emperor Jianwen.

"Alas, this Xu Zengshou is also tough, he is a man. Dao Chief, what he said seems to have his own point, huh? If I were Zhu Di, I wouldn't accept it, and I would also rebel? Zhang Meng couldn't help but sigh.

It was the fault of the patriarchal religion, but he harmed the world for his so-called fairness. Greed, hatred, and ignorance, the cycle of life and death, make sentient beings sink. Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun. "Those who do not have rights long for rights, and those who have rights are afraid of losing them, and the greater the rights, the greater the possibility of being coveted." But there are a few people in the world who have worked hard and are willing to give up, return the power to all sentient beings, and benefit the common people and their descendants, there is really such a person, who should be worshiped by the people, because he has surpassed the gods, at least even the Jade Emperor can't do it. ”
