Chapter 33 General Sima Saves the Country

Weng Bo said, "Why are there so few people who are for the people?" ”

Answer: "I haven't won the Confucian avenue either." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Q: "Please elaborate." ”

Answer: "The book says: 'The people are the most important, the community is secondary, and the king is light.'" 'The first emperor ruled the six kingdoms, and it was unknown that the second emperor died; The overlord pulled mountains and rivers, which can be described as a hero of the world, but he killed the soldiers, divided the world, and the king of Han replaced him; The king of Qin cherished the dawn, feared it, and thought it was water, so he was a generation of sages, and then he could not succeed, and the temple was almost destroyed; As for the five dynasties at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after the false sages, they called themselves heroes, but in fact, they embezzled and poisoned the living beings, so it was difficult to see those who lasted for a long time, and the people also hated them. ”

Q: "When is it visible?" ”

Answer: "When the time comes, it cannot be argued." ”

It turned out that it was Sima Ren, the envoy of Anyuan Jiedu, who came from the Heavenly King Palace, and it was he who spoke just now. Seeing that it was Sima Ren who said that the national teacher and his righteous daughter were much more relieved. When Sima Qian saw his father coming, he immediately greeted him. It turned out that Sima Ren said that after recovering Fuzhou, he saw that Meicheng could not succeed, so he withdrew his troops, and later received a letter from the national teacher Tuolu Xiaopu to him. To the effect that the matter of Fuzhou and Meicheng is over, no matter what the result is, don't ask the reason, immediately lead a team of people to Shaolin. That's why Sima Ren said about Shaolin.

At this time, Di Fan, Zhang Shunzi, He Shi and I had already realized that the people in the martial arts would no longer embarrass the national teacher's mansion, at least the national teacher would not be imprisoned in Shaolin. Di Fan felt that as long as the national teacher could go down the mountain smoothly, then his brothers would not fall into it. No grudges and no enmity are Di Fan's true wishes.

As for Huaye, because he came to Shaolin, he came with the mission of Qian Hongyue, the lord of Wuyue. The gist is: As long as the various forces in the Central Plains are not in harmony and fight each other, it is best to attack each other. As long as the Central Plains region is unstable, even if there is a trace of suspicion between them, it will be considered a disgrace. If the Central Plains is unstable, then the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions will have no worries. It is precisely because of this that Hua Ye seems very uneasy, afraid that he will not be able to successfully complete the task assigned to him by Qian Hongyu, which is a later story.

After entering the compound, Sima Ren said that he immediately led Sima Qian and a large group of people to salute the national teacher and his righteous daughter. Because of the contact with He Shi, Zhang Shunzi and others in Anzhou, Sima Ren said that he was also polite to Di Fan and others. After a little greeting, Sima Ren said, "Who said just now that the national teacher should share the sin with the people?" I am a great Han national teacher, and my status is noble, how can I compare with some of you Xiaoxiao? When everyone heard this, Sima Ren said that this was aimed at Huaye.

When they looked around for the flowers, but saw that he had already hidden in the last row, everyone snickered in their hearts. I saw Zen Master Benhui come forward and say, "Amitabha." It was only because the national teacher and Ma Shi were too angry that Lao Qu specially left the two of them to live in Shaolin for a while. ”

Sima Ren said: "Does the master really want to keep my Han national teacher? ”

Zen Master Benhui said, "Amitabha. ”

Sima Ren said: "You heroes should know that the loyal military festival makes Feng Dashuai and Ben Shuai brothers who have died. If the Shaolin Temple dares to imprison the national teacher, this commander will unite with Feng Dashuai, raise the troops of Anzhou and Xuzhou, and fight with you to the end. Overnight, I'm afraid this Shaolin Temple ......" After speaking, Sima Ren said that a large group of people and horses brought waved flags to demonstrate martial arts.

Zong Zheng Baiquan said: "There is no hurry, there is no hurry. I think that Master Feng will not be able to come. Even when he reached the foot of Shaomuro Mountain, he should turn back at this hour. ”

Sima Ren said, "Why?" Zong Zheng Baiquan smiled slightly and did not answer.

After all, in Fuzhou and Meicheng, Sima Ren said that he had suffered a lot from Manichaeism, and at this time, after listening to Zongzheng Baiquan's words, he was also skeptical. After pondering for a while, Sima Ren said that he had an idea in his heart, and said: "Another point, four years ago, the Great Liao had already invaded the south, and the national teacher gave advice, and the credit was on the case. Now the tiger wolf in the north is still rampant, if the Great Liao takes the opportunity of the autumn high horse fat, invade the south again, the national teacher is in the Shaolin Temple again. Please think about it, if the northern tiger and wolf trample on the Central Plains, I see which of you can afford this sin! This is what everyone fears the most, and no one spoke for a while.

Di Fan kicked Zhang Shunzi and glanced at He Shi and me again. The two understood, and Zhang Shunzi said: "I think you should fight quickly, after the fight, those who should die here will die here, and it will not be in vain for the Buddha's light to shine once, it is better than dying in the mouth of a tiger wolf." If you don't die, follow our eldest brother down the mountain for a while, and the Dengyuan Inn in Dengfeng County has good wine and meat. If you can eat it once, that's enough. ”

I said, "No, no. If you like a late-night snack, you should have another meal at night. ”

Zhang Shunzi nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, yes...... It's me who didn't think it through. In the future, don't think about someone coming to incense in your own treasure land. Because ah, the people of the Central Plains have died under the iron hooves of the northern tigers and wolves. Of course, the treasure land of Shaolin Temple is also to be destroyed. It's not too late, just a few moments before you start. ”

I said, "No, no. If you do it, you will definitely die first, and then destroy this Daxiong Treasure Palace. Also, it's their own home, it can't be the same as this Shaolin Temple, at least they have to lift the tiles, tear down the roof beams and pillars, and there will be no incense, what do you say? ”

Wang calmly snickered and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother He, don't bluff people. They're all heroes and smart men, and they won't fall for you. "It turned out that Wang Congrong didn't follow Zhang Shunzi and them from the dining room first, but followed Di Fan, and finally arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Because Di Fan was afraid that he would meet Gao Baomiao, he was a little embarrassed. After Gao Bao left, when Di Fan rescued Ma Delong, Wang Congrong came out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace. Because he has been with Zhang Shunzi and others for many days, and he also knows their temperament and way of doing things, it is reasonable for Wang Congrong to say this at this time.

The crowd was silent. Because of the lack of a step, Zen Master Benhui and others did not express their position. I saw Ma Delong pull away his daughter Ma Qian's hand, smiled, and then walked forward and said, "The national teacher is the national teacher of the imperial court." If the heroes forcibly detain him, it will inevitably cause the dissatisfaction of the imperial court, which is probably not good for anyone. The old man was originally a member of the Dama Dart Bureau, and he was also the culprit who concocted the crime with his own hands. If you are willing to let the national teacher go down the mountain, the old man is willing to stay, in front of the Buddha, he can not only repent, but also preach the scriptures and praise the virtues for you, and hope that you will be fulfilled. ”

The national teacher said, "No, I want to go, I'll go with my brother." Ma Delong shook his head, signaling that the national teacher did not have to be like this.

Zen Master Benhui said, "Amitabha. If so, it would be a blessing. It is a sin that the old man has forgotten the lessons of the past four years ago and failed to consider the overall situation. Seeing that Zen Master Benhui had agreed with Ma Delong's meaning, everyone didn't have much to say, so they prepared to leave. Hua Ye knew that things were not done ideally, and there was no way, so he had to mix in the crowd and leave the Shaolin Temple.

Ma Delong said: "I am grateful to be taken in by the abbot. ”

Zen Master Benhui said: "Buddhism is the way to purify all sentient beings, and there has never been the intention of killing. It is really good that Lord Ma Shi can sincerely repent! Lao Wei sees that you have a relationship with the fourth junior brother, so let's join him in Buddhism and Taoism. ”

Ma Delong knelt down and said, "Disciple, thank the abbot master." Ma Qian hurriedly helped him up, and the two talked for a while, hugging each other and crying.

Master Zhihui came over and said, "Miss Ma don't have to be sad, this is not a good thing for your father, maybe it can be regarded as the best destination." In the future, when you miss your father, you can come to Shaolin Temple at any time. Ma Qian knew that there was no other way for the time being, and because his father Ma Delon had just been seriously injured, he tried tears and nodded. With the consent of Zen Master Ben Hui, Master Zhihui led Ma Delong to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, followed by Ma Qian and Ma Xian.

The national teacher also came to say goodbye to Ma Delong and Master Zhihui, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Di Fan. Di Fan said: "The national teacher is not in a hurry, there are two things to discuss with the national teacher. The first thing is that the truth of the bloody case of the Dama Dart Bureau has been basically revealed, but the family members of the Dama Dart Bureau are always innocent, I wonder if the national teacher should have an attitude? ”

The national teacher said: "I don't know what Di Shaoxia thinks? ”

Di Fan said: "I heard that the Central Plains Qianzhuang has already done it, so should the national teacher also do something?" ”

The national teacher laughed, but did not speak, just lifted his leg to leave. Di Fan stopped in front and said, "If the national teacher doesn't have an attitude, even if the Great Liao invades the south, he will have to stay in the mountains for a few days." ”

Sima Ren said that he walked forward and said: "Di Shaoxia doesn't need to be serious, the national teacher has already instructed Ben Shuai, and I, the Anyuan Jiedu Embassy, am willing to bear half of the bereavement matters." ”

Di Fan said: "Okay, that's because I misunderstood the national teacher." Second, ask the national teacher and General Sima again, I don't know when the imperial court will be able to live in harmony with the various sects? Because Sima Ren said that after capturing Fuzhou and withdrawing the troops besieging Meicheng, the armies that were fighting with the various gate factions began to withdraw one after another and returned to their respective stations. At this time, Di Fan was still unclear, so he asked.

The national teacher only said: "In this matter, my Han court has its own opinions, and I don't bother with Shaoxia." If you have time, you should care more about your body. ”

Sima Ren said that seeing that Di Fan didn't get the answer he wanted, he said with a smile: "Di Shaoxia can send someone to inquire, the army of my court has returned to defense and is preparing to deal with the war in the north." ”

Di Fan listened to what Sima Ren said, felt a lot more relieved, and stopped asking. Subsequently, the national teacher and his righteous daughter led the people of the national teacher's mansion to leave the Shaolin Temple, and Xu Qingen was also mixed in. Sima Ren said goodbye to Di Fan and others, and also left with his daughter Sima Qian and others. The beggar gang, the Wudang faction and the Taishan faction and other sects are all gone, leaving only Song Qiaoxi and others from the Emei faction, Miao Shifa and others from Miao Xiulou, and Di Fan's brothers and sisters.

Zen Master Ben Hui and Song Qiaoxi and others walked towards Di Fan and thanked Di Fan. Di Fan was puzzled and asked, "My brothers and I have never been to Mount Emei, Song Daxia, what does this mean?" ”

Song Qiaoxi clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Di Shaoxia is really a noble person who forgets things. A few days ago, my Emei faction was attacked by people and horses from Shu State, and Song asked for help from Di Shaoxia. If you want to come to Di Shaoxia, you will have a chance to let your second brother Qi Chengjun come to help, and the Shu army will retreat. Song thanked me here. ”

In chapter twenty-seven, as Dang Zaixing said, it turned out that the Emei faction was really besieged by the army of Mengchang of Later Shu. Song Qiaoxi proposed to his master, the head of the clear space, that he could ask Di Fan of the old city to help. With the consent of the Emei faction such as the head of the pure space road, Song Qiaoxi repaired a book, and the flying pigeon passed the book to Di Fan, which was to the same effect as the letter of Benhui Zen Master. In the old city, it was naturally Qian Wanguan's letter, which he originally planned to send to Di Fan through the Central Plains Qianzhuang. Qi Chengjun came to find Qian Wanguan because of the business affairs of fabrics, and happened to see the scene of Qian Wanguan receiving letters, so he came forward and asked the reason for it. Because Qi Chengjun was Di Fan's half-brother, and he was also the snake marquis of Qianzhuang in the Central Plains, Qian Wanguan gave him the letter. After Qi Chengjun saw it, he said: "The eldest brother is unwell, don't bother him about this matter, I will go to Emei Mountain to ensure that things are done beautifully, and I can share the worries of the eldest brother." Moreover, I can also go to Shu to learn about Shu brocade by the way. It's a win-win-win-win thing. Qian Wanguan thought about it, nodded yes, and said, "Okay, just trouble the fifth master to go to Mount Emei." This letter is a voucher, and you also bring it, and the province has obtained the boundary of Mount Emei, and has encountered unnecessary trouble. After Qi Chengjun accepted the letter, he said, "I don't need to tell my eldest brother about this matter for the time being." In the coming days, I waited for this matter, and I told him myself. After all, Qi Chengjun is the snake marquis of Qianzhuang in the Central Plains, or Di Fan's younger brother, although Qian Wanguan had doubts, he still agreed, and said: "Everything is up to the fifth master, I wish you a smooth journey." If you go to Mount Emei, if there is anything wrong, please tell me in time. Qi Chengjun nodded and left. Qian Wanguan was still puzzled, and thought: Didn't you say that there was a business affair about fabrics, why did you leave at this time?

The words are divided into two ends. Hearing Song Qiaoxi say this at this time, Di Fan returned the salute and said: "I am deeply favored by Master Xuanyuan, the matter of the Emei faction is my business, and Song Daxia does not need to say thank you." But where can I be considered to be in good hands? ”

Song Qiaoxi smiled and said, "After going to Mount Emei, Qi Shaoxia negotiated with Emperor Meng as the Snake Marquis of the Central Plains Qianzhuang, and also showed the Snake Marquis Great Seal, saying that you are the owner of the Central Plains Qianzhuang and that you sent him. Zhang Shunzi and the others were taken aback, because they only knew that Di Fan was the tiger marquis of the Central Plains Qianzhuang. Only Master He was very calm, because he was the owner of the Great Seal who went to Xuanyuan Pavilion with Di Fan to retrieve it, and he already knew the general situation of the matter.

Di Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Song Daxia, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Seeing that everyone was slightly embarrassed, Zen Master Ben Hui said: "Lao Gao has asked Zhihao to prepare a meal, and I also invite you to go to the side hall to rest, and Lao Gao will do his best to be a landlord." Spend the night at our temple today, and tomorrow you can take a good tour of Mt. Shomuro. ”

Zhang Shunzi said: "Okay, the master said this well. I was already hungry. ”

Di Fan glanced at him and said with a smile, "Is it really good?" ”

Zhang Shunzi said: "What's wrong? ”

Di Fan said: "There are so many sisters here, is it convenient to stay in the Shaolin Temple?" Besides, many masters in the temple have been injured, and they all need to be purified. Zhang Shunzi stopped talking.

Zen Master Benhui said, "Amitabha. ”

After listening to Di Fan's words, Song Qiaoxi said: "Di Shaoxia's words are reasonable, and my Emei faction also has many female disciples, which is also very inconvenient. ”

The people from the Songshan faction did not leave, and Lu Youwei walked forward and said, "Thank you, abbot, this is what we mean." It's not far from Songshan, and Lu will leave. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I hope you can come to Songshan, and Lu will go out to greet you. After speaking, Lu Youwei said goodbye to everyone, only Yu Siliu and Yu Sifang did not move.

Di Fan guessed their thoughts, so he called Yang Wulang and Xiao Liuzi, and said, "The task of the two of you is not over yet, so escort the two sisters to Songshan, which can be regarded as a front station for us." ”

Lu Youwei said: "This is very good. Yang Wulang and Xiao Liuzi naturally received the order, and followed Lu Youwei, Yu Tianxi and the Yu sisters to Songshan first.

After seeing off Lu Youwei and the others, Di Fan said: "I lived in the Dengyuan Inn in Dengfeng County at the foot of the mountain, where the environment is not bad, and the backyard is spacious. Don't do that, go there first, and plan tomorrow. How's it going? ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Di Fan said: "Brother Dang, you lead everyone to Dengyuan Inn first, and I will go to the dining room to clean up, and then I will arrive." "Dang Zaixing didn't agree directly, and when I saw Zhang Shunzi and He Shi, I nodded before agreeing. Because Di Fan's brothers and sisters all know that Di Fan is not in good health, they don't worry that Di Fan is out alone. The party naturally understood the truth, so he received the order, but he still stood.

Di Fan also knew everyone's intentions, and when he saw that Dang Zaixing and the others were slow to move, he said: "Let Brother Zhang, Brother He and Sister Di Rong stay, so that you are satisfied, right?" "The people took the command.

Seeing that the party was leading everyone away, Song Qiaoxi, Miao Shifa and others followed, Di Fan said to Benhui Zen Master: "Accompanied by two brothers, just go to the dining law room." ”

Zen Master Ben Hui said: "Lao Wei asked Senior Brother Konghui to guide Di Shaoxia. ”

Di Fan said: "You don't have to. There are Master Zhihao and Master Ziyou on the other side of the dining room, and I have been working with them for many days, and everything is easy to say. For now, it is important for the abbot to take care of these injured masters first. ”

Zen Master Benhui said, "Amitabha. Lord Di Shi is really a man of temperament, please. ”

After listening to the words of Zen Master Ben Hui, Di Fan returned the salute and asked Nanmen Jing to wait. After coughing, Di Fan, accompanied by Zhang Shunzi and He Shime, passed through the Daxiong Treasure Hall and went to the dining room. On the way, Niu Zhongquan also came out because he heard Di Fan's cough, and went to the dining room with them. As soon as he walked out of the side door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Di Fan spat blood. In an instant, Zhang Shunzi, He Shime and Niu Zhongquan were in a hurry.

Di Fan said: "What's the panic, I can't die for the time being, help me go to the meditation room over there first." After saying that, the four of them headed towards the meditation room of the dining room. It turned out that, just as Master Zhihui was worried about, and as the national teacher said, after treating Ma Delong's injuries, Di Fan was weak, and it was completely supported by his mind and personal will to get to where he was now.
