Chapter 179: The Founding of the Country

Hearing King Yong's informing of this Miss Yuan's family history, even Huang Qiong couldn't help but smack her tongue a little. For the god who has been deified since the former Tang Dynasty, Huang Qiong is naturally very clear. Yuan Tiangang, who can be called one of the two feng shui masters of the former Tang Dynasty, is a sixty-elephant ***, and has become the master of Chinese historical fatalism.

And the current Qin Tianjian Yuan Zhizheng is a person, he still knows. Back then, after his grandfather abolished the Emperor Liezong, if it weren't for the fact that Lord Yuan had changed his astral appearance, he stopped his grandfather who was eager to ascend the throne in disguise. I'm afraid that this throne will not have anything to do with its own emperor Lao Tzu.

It turned out that this Lord Yuan was actually the descendant of Yuan Tiangang, who had been a myth for hundreds of years. It is no wonder that although this woman does not have the demeanor of a monk at all, she is wearing a Taoist robe. The kung fu on his body is also authentic and peaceful at first glance, not the kind of vicious kung fu that is vicious.

If you say that, it can be explained. My mother once said that authentic Taoist kung fu is more about peace of mind. Her master is also a sect of Taoism, but she has always lived in seclusion in the mountains and does not ask about the world. Moreover, the door rules are strict, and the acceptance of apprentices is even stricter, so it has never been known to the world.

At present, the Heavenly Master Dao, located in Longhu Mountain, Jiangnan West Road, is far from having as much power and such a high status more than a thousand years later. Later, the Quanzhen Dao that crisscrossed the north, and now it is estimated that their ancestor did not even have grandparents. At present, Taoism is similar to all religions, and there are many factions, such as alchemy, talismans, and immortal cultivators.

It's just that I don't know if this Yuan Tianshi belongs to Zhengyi, Shangqing, or Lingbao, to which Taoism belongs? There is no certain relationship with my mother's teacher. Although there are many factions in Taoism at the moment, they are all from an old ancestor, and there may be some connections.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong smiled faintly: "The descendants of the Yuan family are really good." This body of Taoist kung fu is also so exquisite. I just don't know which one is strong and which one is weak, between the Yuan family and the Shaolin Temple, which is known as the originator of martial arts in the world. If you have the chance, you can have a competition. ”

Hearing Huang Qiong's words mention Shaolin Temple, King Yong pointed to a mountain range faintly appearing on the horizon and said, "Okay, you kid don't have a twitch here." Your seventh brother and I are not martial arts practitioners, and I don't know the level of kung fu you mentioned. Your previous fight, I just followed the excitement. ”

"As for the current Shaolin Temple, it is far from the grand occasion of the former Tang Dynasty. When the founding of the country and the former Tang Dynasty were in great war, Songshan Shaolin Temple was valued by the former Tang royal family because of the world, and even had the grace of Tang Taizong to raise monks and soldiers. Therefore, when changing the dynasty, forget that they are monks, and they should jump out of the red dust and not in the five elements. ”

"When our army hanged the people and attacked the people, they always stood on the side of the former Tang court. Not only did he send monks and soldiers during the Great War of Chenzhou to help him. Moreover, they have repeatedly sent masters to either burn our army's grain and grass, or assassinate our generals. During the Battle of Chenzhou, many generals of our Qi army died under the assassination of masters sent by the Shaolin Temple. ”

"Even the king of Guilin was almost poisoned. If it weren't for the fact that his two concubines were also from the rivers and lakes, they risked their lives to save each other. It is estimated that the first military general of the founding of the country will be assassinated on the way back to Chang'an on the Eastern Expedition. However, although he himself escaped, the two concubines finally died because of saving him. ”

"It's just that the war was urgent at that time, and Emperor Taizong, who was supervising the division on the front line, had no time to take care of anything else, so he didn't do anything. After the end of the Chenzhou War, Emperor Taizong, who was the crown prince at that time, mobilized 20,000 troops who returned from the Eastern Expedition, surrounded Songshan Mountain, and personally led 10,000 iron cavalry to sweep Shaolin Temple. ”

"Although there are 800 monks and soldiers with pure martial arts in Shaolin Temple, these monks and soldiers are strong in martial arts, and where are the 10,000 iron cavalry opponents who have been on the battlefield for a long time? Under the full encirclement and suppression of Emperor Taizong, the entire Shaolin Temple was baptized in blood. The monks in the temple, large and small, except for some ordinary monks who could not practice martial arts, were almost killed.

"The 800 monks and soldiers who claimed to be able to sweep the rivers and lakes, together with the presiding officer and abbot in the temple, were cut off and piled up on the official road under the mountain to make a Jingguan to warn the monks in the world. If it weren't for the dissuasion of the king of Guilin, Emperor Taizong would have almost completely destroyed the Shaolin Temple, known as the ancestor of Zen Buddhism and a thousand-year-old temple. ”

"Think about it, when my Great Qi was in the most crisis, instead of standing idly by, these monks fell into the ground. More than a dozen generals were assassinated, and the battle of Chenzhou was almost ruined. If it weren't for the soldiers' lives and the proper command of the King of Guilin, it would be really difficult to say the consequences of that big battle. Shaolin Temple is so unscrupulous, but it is no wonder that Emperor Taizong was so angry. ”

"After that war, the current Shaolin Temple is no longer the Shaolin Temple of the past. Although after more than 100 years of recovery, it can be regarded as a slight recovery. But it is far from the Shaolin Temple where the world's martial arts came out of Shaolin back then, and those warrior monks died and died, and a small number of people who escaped the catastrophe were also hidden and did not dare to come out. ”

"After encircling and suppressing Shaolin Temple, Emperor Taizong said that under the persuasion of the king of Guilin, he did not completely burn down the temple. However, this temple of the Northern Sect of Zen Buddhism was given to the Soto sect of the Southern Sect. At the current Shaolin Temple, there are still people who practice martial arts who don't know. But at the moment, it is still dominated by ordinary monks. Even if you go now, you probably won't see anything. ”

Speaking of this, King Yong frowned and said, "Or, while it's you and me now, this place is not very far from Shaomuro Peak, let's go for a walk?" If you wait until you return to Beijing, unless the old man agrees to go out of Beijing, you kid won't have this opportunity to see it. ”

"You also know the current situation, if you want the old man to agree, it is estimated that it will be difficult to go in the Year of the Monkey. Although the White Horse Temple in Jingzhao Mansion is famous, it is somewhat worse than this Shaolin Temple. From here to Dengfeng returning to the capital, with the foot strength of our brothers' mounts, three days is enough. ”

Originally, Huang Qiong didn't have the idea of going to Shaolin Temple to take a stroll, but when King Yong said this, he really had the idea of wanting to find out. Shaolin Temple, which was famous in his previous life, he naturally went there. But Huang Qiong knew that most of the buildings in the Shaolin Temple she went to in her previous life were rebuilt.

As for the original Tang Dynasty style buildings, they have long been destroyed in the melee of the warlords of the past dynasties. Moreover, the Shaolin Temple in the previous life was not so much like a famous mountain and ancient temple as it was more like an overdeveloped tourist area. It has long lost the true character of a Buddhist temple. If you can look at the present, it is almost the original Shaolin Temple, but it is an elegant thing.

Seeing that Huang Qiong was a little moved, I don't know what's going on today, anyway, King Yong, who didn't want to return to Beijing immediately, immediately added some words: "I know what you're afraid of, aren't you afraid that the old man will reprimand you after returning to Beijing, those bullshit books in the imperial history are in conjunction with our mother's funeral, don't think about grief, and have time to travel the mountains and rivers?" ”

"If you're worried about that, you don't have to worry. Didn't that mad girl say that? Her master is staying in Zhongyue Temple for Queen Daxing, let's visit at this time, it can be regarded as doing our best for Queen Daxing, isn't it? We can't stay in Songshan for too long. If you make an excuse, you will definitely be able to fool the past. ”

Regarding King Yong's words, Huang Qiong was a little speechless. Obviously, this guy wants to go to Songshan, but he is desperately bewitching himself here, and in addition to letting himself accompany him, there is another meaning. That is, in case the old man is held accountable, this guy intends to put the blame on himself. He went with him, not with him.

Seeing this guy, still looking like such a scoundrel, Huang Qiong shook his head and said, "I said Seventh Brother, if you want to go to Songshan to find that Yuan girl." You just say that the little brother must be sacrificing his life to accompany the gentleman. Anyway, if you go alone, I'm really a little worried. If you want to accompany your little brother, then thank you for not being sensitive. The younger brother didn't want to be a death squad at this time and let the old man scold. ”

Huang Qiong saw through his intentions, but King Yong shook his head and said, "Lao Jiu, let me tell you, it's true that I want to go to Songshan for a visit." But it's definitely not for that crazy girl, I just treat her like a sister. Nothing else, at all. ”

"Anyway, the mourning period of Queen Daxing is now over. The two of us sneaked to Songshan, and the old man would reprimand him at most. Besides, isn't there any crazy girl who can make an excuse? In case the old man is really angry, we can also take her on top. The old man dotes on her so much, we say to catch her back, the old man may not be really angry. ”

For King Yong's almost shameless excuse, Huang Qiong was really speechless. used a girl as a shield, and it was really a shame that he wanted to come over. However, although the excuse of King Yong was a little shameless, it also made Huang Qiong's mind move somewhat. As for why King Yong didn't want to return to Beijing immediately, Huang Qiong still understood a little.

Although the mourning period of Empress Daxing has passed so far, it can be said that it has passed, and peace has returned to Beijing. But even fools can smell the strange calm waves in Beijing right now. The current capital, to be exact, from the beginning of his assassination to the current capital, the atmosphere is too depressing.

King Yong, although he does not have a good relationship with the crown prince. But with other princes, the friendship is quite good. At least among the current princes, he is still one who attaches great importance to brotherly feelings. Just before the horse race, Huang Qiong could hear that his assassination and the successive deaths of his three brothers made the seventh brother suppress an unspeakable sorrow in his heart.

The reason why he didn't want to go back to Beijing was because he knew what he would see when he returned to Beijing. There is nothing more tragic in this world than cannibalism. Seventh brother, he didn't want to go back to Beijing at this time, he was trying to escape some things that he didn't want to see. Because including myself, I know what is going to happen next, and I'm afraid it will be even more cruel.

From the queen's serious illness to the queen's funeral, the two kings of Jing and Duan repeatedly defied the holy will. first refused to return to Beijing to serve the sick, and then simply did not return to his mother's funeral. The reason why the emperor did not have a seizure was because the funeral in the middle palace had been patient. Now that the mourning is over, how long can the emperor endure it?

No one knows what will happen next, the only thing that knows is that family affection is no longer there. King Yong is different from himself, the time he has been out of the palace is too short, and those brothers are not unfamiliar, and they can even be said to be strangers, and those brothers have always rejected themselves. But for King Yong, those people are the brothers he grew up with.
