There is a row of Zen temples for big pilgrims to rest on the mountain behind Famen Temple, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a bamboo forest next to it.

At this time, in one of the courtyards, Yu Zhengran, who coincided with Mu Xiu's day, was sipping slowly with a cup of tea. Today, he brought his son Yuan'er to pray for a blessed object, or an amulet or something like that. This kind of thing is mostly worried about the mother, but isn't Yuan'er now without a mother? There are no female elders like grandmothers or anything, only Yu Zhengran's father came to Zhang Luo.

Of course, this is a public statement, half true, half a façade.

Unexpectedly, there were important guests in Famen Temple today, and Master Jingxuan personally preached the scriptures, and the main hall of Famen Temple was also stopped, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave. Yu Zhengran didn't have much time to come over on weekdays, and it was Master Jingxuan who gave him a lotus bracelet as a "little friend", he asked to stay in the monastery and wait for Master Jingxuan, and the little novice took him to the Zen monastery next to the bamboo forest after asking for instructions.

The appointed hour was about to pass, and Mr. Yu hurried back, but his face was gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said, "I can't see it today, there are a lot of eyeliner, which is finally handed out." As he spoke, he handed over a wax pill, with a fishy smell, which made Zhengran, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, immediately frown.

Mr. Yu coughed in embarrassment, is he easy? He also has a habit of cleanliness, but because he was afraid of making a mistake, he almost had to go down to the pond (release pond) to catch fish himself.

Yu Zhengran peeled off the wax pill, spread out the paper roll, and quickly scanned the contents on it.

Ha, you're being targeted, and you're surrounded by secret guards sent by the emperor?

Since the incident of the second prince poisoning the palace, the sensitive empress dowager always feels that she is being stared at, so Mama Hui has set up an empty situation. Sure enough, I found a clue. He knows. I'm afraid that the emperor suspects that she has nothing to do with that incident. After all. Not long after she came out of the temple, that happened.

This means that she can no longer communicate with the eldest grandson, the king of Northern Qi, and she knows very well that the current situation has no advantage for the king of Northern Qi at all, and it is even worse than before, and there must not be any handle in the hands of the emperor.

Then, the only hope is Yu Zhengran in Beijing. The eldest grandson said that Yu Zhengran, who had been brainwashed since childhood, was loyal and filial to them.

Be cautious. The Empress Dowager used the one-time contact channel agreed upon in the early years to send a message to Yu Zhengran. Meet at Famen Temple.

So, with this time, the Empress Dowager went to Famen Temple to listen to Master Jingxuan's lecture. The emperor didn't even ask, but openly said that he would send a team of secret guards to secretly "protect". After the Queen Mother was stunned, she couldn't refuse.

can't be interviewed in person, so it's good to make sure that the things are in Yu Zhengran's hands, right?

Yu Zhengran quickly looked at the secret letter, the following content made him more and more excited, his head was running rapidly, but his face was still frowning slightly, and even Mr. Yu, who had been by his side like a father and a teacher since he was a child, couldn't see any flaws.

Just when he was thinking about whether not showing Mr. Yu the secret letter would arouse his suspicions, and how to explain it. Zuo Qing, who went straight in, said, "Master, Ning Shizi is here", and asked him to "subconsciously" crumple the secret letter into a ball and hold it tightly in the palm of his hand. Instantly turned into powder.

Looking up and not seeing Qi Haoning's figure, Yu Zhengran was "angry": "What are you talking about?" Where are the people? ”

Zuo Qing said aggrievedly: "I just arrived at the temple, I heard that I came to pick up the Empress Dowager." He really couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, Ning Shizi came to Famen Temple, he thought that the young master would be very happy, every time he saw Ning Shizi, he was smiling.

Mr. Yu didn't think that Zuo Qing was wrong, as for the positive quick and fierce reaction, he was very satisfied and relieved, it seemed that although the young master of his family fell in love with Qi Haoning, he still knew the importance and the important ones, and he still guarded against Qi Haoning, which reassured him. After all, the estrangement between the father and son was too deep, causing the young master to leave his heart impulsively, and even betrayed the lord, and in the end it was the young master who suffered, and the young master attached so much importance to family affection and longed for his family, a person who would definitely regret it in the future.

Because of this sudden scene, even if Yu Zhengran's words and deeds were "inappropriate", Mr. Yu turned a blind eye, anyway, the young master of his family was just angry in his heart, playing with his temper, and he would not be confused in major matters. The young master and Ning Shizi looked good, but he was too lonely.

Mr. Yu's eyes changed and fell in Yu Zhengran's eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Ahem," by clenching his right fist to cover his mouth, Yu Zhengran hid the ease and excitement that flashed in his eyes, "It's me who overreacted." He let go of his right palm.

Zuo Qing saw the crumbs scattered from Zhengran's hands, what else did he not understand? Naturally, there are no grievances.

Naturally, this is not the place to talk about the content of the secret letter, Yu Zhengran just avoided this matter for the time being, giving himself a little more time to ponder.

Mr. Yu also thought that it was not appropriate to talk about secret letters here, so he changed the topic: "Master, I just heard the news that a businessman surnamed Huang from the northeast met a robber on the way to the capital, died, and all his property was robbed, and it is said that the robber was a habitual bandit. By the way, there is one more thing, we have to add people again, and there are expenses. ”

"Oh?" Yu Zhengran picked up the teacup again, and a mocking sneer appeared on his face. The king of Northern Qi did not take the initiative to increase their personnel and funds, those who were used by "Huang Ye" before, it was a pity to abandon them, and he was afraid that he would be targeted by the emperor's people and give them to him. Moreover, since he was asked to deal with "Huang Ye" and knew about this matter, in order to show the importance he had always relied on him, that "father" naturally took the initiative to let him annex these forces that had also infiltrated the capital.

Mr. Yu sighed habitually, but he was no longer worried. sighed secretly: It's normal for the young master to be angry in his heart, let him be!

At this time, the emperor also received a report that "Huang Ye" was robbed and killed.

The members of Youmi who were in charge of this mission were ready to be accused by death: "It can already be determined that he is a person sent by the King of Northern Qi, but there is no direct evidence." Because they were on the way back to Beijing, they felt that the man would not contact his master, so they relaxed their spirits and followed from a distance. How could they have thought of protecting that man?

The emperor doesn't care, now he wants to be a foreign enemy, and he has to further develop the strength of the Great Zhou. He was not ready to put the plan of cleaning up the king of Northern Qi on the agenda, which would be detrimental to the people.

What's more important is who is the (or those) detail work that has been in the capital for many years? Where is it?

……

Soon, in the expectation of everyone, Yun Deqing, the general of the Northwest, accompanied the Turkic envoys led by two Turkic princes to the capital. (To be continued......)
