61 Brothers in unison

The abbot seemed to be a little annoyed and angry after the matter was revealed, so he lowered his face and said: "There are so many temples in Chang'an City, why check our family, I can't wait!" ”

The presiding officer was obviously trying to call on the rest of the people to resist, and someone in the monks immediately chimed in: "Yes, why only check us? There are more monasteries that have bought land, so why can't we? We are devoted to the Buddha, but we have attracted such a calamity, and you will be punished......" presided over such a provocation, and all of a sudden the monks boiled over, and there were all kinds of people who were noisy and shouting.

At this time, Xiong Sanbao of the Leopard Chong Camp was angry all of a sudden, he was originally a tendon temper, but this time he came on the order of Yu Wenhu, he was very confident, and stepped forward and shouted: "Are you bald asses going to rebel?" Now you'd better stand obediently for General Ben, or I'll chop you up and feed them to the dogs!" ”

Those monks seemed to rely on the large number of people, thinking that the officers and soldiers did not dare to kill people in broad daylight, and after Xiong Sanbao finished speaking, not only was not quiet, but even more noisy: "We want to see the great priest!" We're going to ask for an explanation. Right! Let him do justice for us! We want to see Your Majesty......"

At this time, Xiao Ke saw that if he continued to quarrel like this, he would definitely say something that should not be said, so he quietly said to Xiong Sanbao: "Brother, in my opinion, if these bald donkeys are let shout like this, and the prince and son are involved, Tsukasa Zai's face is not good-looking." ”

"That's right, what the second brother said is right, the monks of Fuji Temple refused to cooperate with the imperial court's investigation, and its abbot instigated the monks to rebel against Tianwei, and he has been corrected on the spot to set an example!" Now the brothers are very united.

"Then may I ask, there are nearly 100 temples around Chang'an, do they have to be as thorough as yesterday's Fuji Temple?" Monk Huiyuan continued to ask.

"The imperial court has a clear edict, all temples, Taoist temples must be investigated, but all those who are found to have encroached on people's land for no reason to evade taxes, buy and sell slaves and maids, etc., will be closed, monks, Taoist priests and other first offenders will be punished, and other orders will be returned to the vulgar, the imperial court is only appropriately reducing the number of temples and temples, not to kill them all, such as ancient temples like Juemi Temple, or to keep." Shizi said a little impatiently.

Huiyuan still didn't give up, and then said: "Amitabha! The light of the Buddha shines and the people who are destined to have a fate, which is that the people and sentient beings are grateful for the boundless Buddhism, sincerely convert, and want to get rid of the sea of suffering, but the worldly fate, so that the Shamen believers are naturally a little more, put a few acres of thin fields to make up for the lack of fate, and ask a few handymen to help this take care of the chores in the temple, want to come...... It makes sense to think that the imperial court really shouldn't interfere with the king's power, resulting in ......"

"Nonsense!" Before Monk Huiyuan's words were finished, he was stopped by Yuwen Shen, "Abbot Huiyuan is really confusing, your Baoguang Temple is just a few acres of thin fields." How many more handymen are there? But as far as this son knows, your life as a monk is very nourishing, you look like a monk in front of you, and you have brocade clothes and jade food, fishing-colored flowers and willows behind you, why hasn't the top card of the Drunken Moon Pavilion come out recently? You bought it and placed it in Stone Mill Lane, right? "Don't think about it, this Huiyuan must be the person of the court official under the prince, otherwise how could Yu Wenshen know so much.

"This ...... Why does the Duke of Changcheng spew blood, the poor monk is dedicated to the Buddha, and the six roots are pure, how can he do such a dirty deed, you ......" Obviously, Huiyuan's defense was a little pale.

"Second brother, why are you pouring dirty water on Master Huiyuan's body without any evidence, maybe you wrapped up the top card of the Drunken Moon Pavilion?" When the prince saw that the second brother had attacked, of course he couldn't stand still.

"That's it! Don't be noisy. "Yuwen is afraid that if he continues to quarrel, maybe he will find out something unseemly." Come! Go to Baoguang Temple to investigate thoroughly,"

Yu Wenxun was also annoyed, this monk was so long-winded and unforgiving, it was simply hateful, and he said angrily: "Such a demon monk actually dares to commit the following crimes, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished, come here!" Kill this demon monk on the spot, and arrest all the rest of the monks for me! ”

"Yes!" With Yuwen Hu's order, the Royal Forest Army moved all of a sudden, surrounded these monks, and then Xiong Sanbao came over, picked up Huiyuan, threw it on the ground, and then hit the chest is a hammer, and the monk who was beaten was torn apart, vomiting blood and dying! The monks were so frightened that they shouted for mercy, Yu Wenxun snorted, turned around and left.

Seeing that the prince was gone, Yu Wenshen said to Hou Mo Chen Rui below: "Send someone to that alley and find out the woman, lest someone say that the court will kill innocents indiscriminately." Then he turned around and went back to the palace.

"Yes." Hou Mo Chen Rui sneered and left.

……

Just when Chang'an was in full swing to check the temple, there was one place that was tepid and did not make much movement, that is, the place where the Buddha was abolished - Jingzhou. Why? Because the imperial court has not appointed the assassin of the ruling party to take office for a long time.

Yu Wenshen has found an opportunity to mention it to his father several times in recent days, of course, during the quarrel with the son, but his father either perfunctory him, or scolded the two of them out, at first he thought that he recommended the candidate to make his father dissatisfied, but later he felt more and more that his father did not want him to interfere in this matter.

According to Zhu Xuanzhi, after the fall of Ruan Hong, he made suggestions to solve the chaos in Jingzhou, and his father had no reason to refuse his candidate to install the assassin, but his father just didn't agree, what happened? Do you still want to ask Zhu Xuanzhi for advice?

In the Shanhai Hall, Yuwen Hugao sat on it, and there was a young man standing in the middle, although this person's face was a little sickly, and there was also some dust, but there was always some heroism in his bearing.

"Old five, I've been training outside in the past few years, and I've worked hard, brother, how do I see some vicissitudes on your face?" Yuwen asked with a smile. It turned out that the person in the hall was the Duke of Qi who came back from Yongzhou, the fifth son of King Wen and the fifth brother of His Majesty Yu Wenxian. Yuwen Hu is the nephew of King Wen Yuwentai, and of course the eldest brother of the emperor and the Duke of Qi.

"Hey-let Otsuka Zai see it smile, don't tell lies in front of the real people, brother, I'm really fed up in that broken place in Yongzhou, that broken place is poor and bad, and the people are fierce, not to mention, the damn Qi people sent troops to harass them for three days, and I can't eat well and sleep well in my younger brother, I've really suffered enough, and this time there is actually no big injury, just excuse me to come to Chang'an for a few days to spend time, so I sent a message to the Queen Mother and asked His Majesty to announce my return." The young Duke of Qi smiled bitterly and complained.

"Hahaha. The fifth child is really a real person. Yuwen Hu said with a smile: "Last time, Your Majesty said that you were in poor health outside, plus the Queen Mother was worried, let the court summon you back, brother, I thought, this fifth child has been out for several years, and it is time to come back, if you don't come again, I will almost forget what you look like, hahaha......"

"Thank you Otsuka Zai for worrying, there are so many things in the court for you to take care of, and you are still thinking about my brother who is not a weapon, Tsukasa Zai really has a heart." Qi Guogong said humbly.

"Alas, my own brother, don't say those polite words, now that you're back, don't worry about the affairs over there, stay in peace for a few days." Yuwen Hu waved his hand and said.

"Brother Chen was able to get out this time, thanks to Tsukazai for facilitating the good things of His Majesty's brother and the Turkic princess, and let my Great Zhou form an alliance with the Turks, which made the Qi State stop for a while, otherwise, the harassment will continue." Qi Guogong said.

"Well—it's good that the border is peaceful." Yuwen Hu nodded, and then suddenly asked, "You just came back, have you gone to see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother?" ”

"Isn't this missing my brother, haven't you had time to go to the palace yet?" Qi Guogong said with a smile on his face.

"That's not good." Yuwen Hu made a very exaggerated reproachful expression and said, "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, how can the courtesy of the monarch and the minister be messed up? Stay for a while, you will enter the palace immediately and see Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. ”

"Yes! The younger brother will go immediately. Qi Guogong agreed, and then asked, "I don't know if the old lady is in good health?" ”

"Good! Well, I often talk about you, so you take the time to see her. Yuwen Wu said.

"Yes, the younger brother brought two old ginseng from Yongzhou to honor the old lady, and he really can't take out anything else, so let someone send it to the old lady later."

"Your filial piety, my brother and I remember it. You, who led troops to fight outside, have not forgotten to give us filial piety, which can be regarded as both loyalty and filial piety. Yuwen Hu praised.

"Tsukazai has such a high praise, the younger brother can't afford it." Qi Guogong said with a smile, and then he saw Gonggong Xiao holding a few books folded up, and Qi Guogong said: "Tsukasa Zai is busy with state affairs, and he shares his worries for His Majesty. ”

"Well, it's okay, you go to see Your Majesty first, and we'll talk when we're free." Yuwen Hu didn't keep either. Qi Guogong took his leave and went out. Gonggong Xiao hurriedly took a few steps forward and said, "Gong Qi walks slowly." ”

"Gonggong Xiao stays." After speaking, Qi Guogong retreated.

Qi Guogong went out of Yuwenhu's house, and went straight to the palace to meet His Majesty, and the result was that His Majesty, the Queen Mother, and the Queen were all in Taihe Palace, and asked Qi Guogong to meet in Taihe Palace, and Qi Guogong hurriedly packed up to Taihe Palace.

"Erchen Yu Wenxian visited the Queen Mother, see Long live my emperor, long live Long live, long live, I have seen the queen mother and all the mothers!" After the Duke of Qi performed three bows and nine bows in Taihe Palace, he said to the Queen Mother who was seated, and the Emperor Wu and the Empress who were standing on both sides.

"Xian'er, hurry up, there are no outsiders here, that is your new imperial sister-in-law, this is the first time you have seen it." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"Empress Dowager Xie!" After Gongyu Wenxian of Qi got up, he said to the queen: "The imperial brother and the queen's sister-in-law tied the knot, and the courtier's brother failed to come to Chang'an to congratulate, which is really disrespectful. Since the alliance between my Great Zhou and the Turks, the Qi State has never attacked on the border of my Great Zhou, and the ministers and brothers on behalf of the soldiers and people of Yongzhou will kowtow to the queen's sister-in-law. After speaking, Qi Guogong bowed down and kowtowed to the queen three times.

"According to the clan etiquette law, Qi Guogong should be the little uncle, you and Your Majesty are brothers, this is a family, the little uncle doesn't need so many courtesies, and the sister-in-law deserves it." The queen stepped forward and helped him up.
