Chapter 1949: Into the Mountains and Into the Incense
Between Chang'anfang City, there has been a lively conversation recently.
Xue Wanche has always been a controversial figure, first with his brother to assist Prince Yin to build, the Xuanwu Gate change even intended to kill into the Qin Palace, to a "blood for blood, tooth for tooth", after the defeat of the army is to escape into the Zhongnan Mountain, and then surrender to the current Majesty, repeatedly led the army to the battle, the three armies of the brave crown outstanding meritorious service......
It stands to reason that this is another famous general who will not be born in the world, and will be admired by thousands of people, but now His Majesty will marry Princess Danyang, but he makes a joke that he doesn't know what the cave house is, and his reputation is certainly damaged, but there are many people who ridicule the government and the opposition, but not many people are bored, just as a joke.
This time, Princess Danyang cried and ran back to the palace, begging the emperor to sentence her to be separated, followed by the general's guilt without the dignity of a man, and shouted loudly, if the emperor sentenced him to death, he would die in front of the Taiji Palace, otherwise he would have no shame to see the father of Hedong......
Could it be that if you look like this, you will have the face to see Hedong's father?
There was a sound of ridicule among the markets.
Fortunately, Fang Jun is a particular person, and he did not publicize Xue Wanche's behavior of looking for a "green hat", otherwise this General Xue will become the laughing stock of the world, and it may not be possible to leave such a stroke in the history books......
However, the emperor still protected the short.
My own sister was innocently wronged by "stealing people", even the families of ordinary people could not tolerate it, let alone this emperor who was dictatorial? Punishment is a must.
Naturally, the crime cannot be "slandering" Princess Danyang, so it is a blasphemy to declare that she entered the palace with her upper body exposed, and to shout that she died in front of the Taiji Palace is to despise the imperial power, and she will be punished for three years and punished with a cane for 30 years to set an example. Poor General Xue's old injuries have not healed, and new injuries have been added, and the skin and flesh are broken with a military stick, which is unbearable.
However, this is indeed the big stick mallet that dared to call out to His Majesty Li Er to kill the Qin Palace, and he was very tough, and he was stunned and didn't say a word, which made the execution guards all admire, and they all praised General Xue for being much more backbone than someone who cried and called his mother every few sticks......

"Erlang, it is rumored that Concubine Yang accepted Xu Jingzong's two twin daughters as righteous daughters, and passed down the decree to give them marriage, but it was from your handwriting, it was you who fell in love with the Xu sisters, so you begged Concubine Yang to come forward, the so-called marriage is even more imaginary, and it is bound to be married to you, but is there such a thing?"
Lu Shi raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at his son who was riding a horse and swaying along the side of the carriage, and frowned and asked.
Today is the eighth day of the lunar month, but the sun is shining, there is no wind in the four fields, the snow in the city has already been swept away, although the top of Zhongnan Mountain in the distance is covered with snow, the temperature is definitely not low, it is a rare good weather in winter. The Fang family's convoy went out of the city from the Mingde Gate, went straight to Zhongnan Mountain along the official road, and entered the temple to pray for blessings.
From time to time, there are officials and people who take advantage of the good weather to enter the temple to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings.
Fang Jun was dressed in a brocade hat and mink fur, riding a tall and sturdy Arabian horse, majestic and fearful, and the left and right were guarded by the generals, which caused pedestrians to look sideways.
Hearing his mother's inquiry, Fang Jun said: "Don't listen to the rumors between the markets, those guys are very boring, and the iron tree can say that it is blooming, pure nonsense." It's just that I met those two sisters a few days ago, and I learned that Xu Jingzong's old thing wanted to marry one of them to the Lingnan Feng family and the other to Qian Jiulong, the prince of Chaoguo, so he couldn't be angry, so he begged the prince to run away from it and ask His Majesty to marry him. ”
"No matter how unbearable the Xu Yan clan is, it is also your elder, not only calling him by his name, but also arrogant and disrespectful, is there any rule?"
Fang Xuanling, who was sitting in the carriage, had been closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the words at this moment, he opened his eyes and cheered.
Yan nationality is the word of Xu Jingzong......
Fang Jun was submissive and didn't dare to refute, but he didn't think so.
"Are you old and confused?" Lu Shi was suddenly dissatisfied, turned his head to stare at Fang Xuanling, and said, "It's so raw, why do you teach your son a lesson?" Could it be that the son is wrong? When the Xu Yan clan first entered the Qin Palace, their qualifications and backgrounds were all the shallower, and they surrounded your ass all day long, and then saw that you guarded the Qin Palace, and there was no meritorious service, thinking that it would not be reused by His Majesty, so he didn't hurry up and part ways with you? That's a pure villain! The two girls of the Xu family, I often saw them when I was a child, and I have been to the house several times, they are the most gentle and virtuous temperament, and they look good, I also wanted to propose to Erlang, but I just showed a word, and the Xu Yan clan was disgusted...... Erlang and those two girls were childhood friends, and they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, even if they are not married, but now how can they watch each other fall into the sea of fire and ignore them? Xu Yanzu is not a thing, but the two daughters are good, Erlang did a good job! ”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said helplessly: "I didn't say that Erlang did it wrong, I just told him to be cautious, he is not an idle gentleman now, but an important minister of the court, if he doesn't even have a doorkeeper to speak, beware of trouble coming out of his mouth." ”
This is indeed the case, but the Lu family has always been unreasonable, and she doesn't help her relatives: "According to what you say, being an official can't even tell the truth?" It's better to be a gentleman at home, at least live comfortably! ”
Fang Xuanling said angrily: "Aren't you messing around? ”
Lu Shi did not show weakness: "Our family doesn't need children to fight for the future, if the official is not happy, it is good to be a gentleman at home, why bother to be uncomfortable?" ”
Fang Xuanling was so angry that his beard was straight, and he couldn't do anything with his wife, so he glared at Fang Jun who was snickering: "You say, does it make sense to be a father?" ”
The old lady dared to glare at Fang Xuanling, but Fang Jun didn't dare, and hurriedly said, "It makes sense!" ”
Now the Lu family is unhappy, the old lady helps you speak, but the grass on your wall falls with the wind and betrays the old lady?
"Am I not right?"
Fang Jun shrunk his neck, not daring to provoke his father, let alone his mother: "Mother is right!" ”
"Humph! Spineless bastard......"
"Humph! Spineless bastard......"
The old couple scolded in unison, and then they were stunned together, staring at each other with big eyes, thinking it was funny, and laughing together.
Fang Jun has a lot of dog leg potential: "My father and mother are really smart, and the couple is ...... affectionate"
"Fuck off!"
Lu's face was a little red, and although his temperament was a little tougher, he could still see the beautiful color of the year......
Fang Xuanling also said: "Nonsense, where to go to Your Majesty by selling your mouth, Lao Tzu is so useless!" ”
Fang Jun touched his nose, so he had to spur his horse and run to the front of the convoy......
……
Zhongnan Mountain is the world's shape is victorious, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, since ancient times it is the place of Taoist cultivation and the place where hermits refuge, "the famous mountain cultivates, and the south is the crown". Since the prosperity of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it has regarded Zhongnan Mountain as a quiet place, and countless temples have been built.
Among the many temples and Taoist temples, the Qingyuan Temple of very small scale is not conspicuous, but it has been inherited for more than 200 years, it is very famous for the locals in Guanzhong, the Fang family convoy enters the boundary of Zhongnan Mountain, turns on the fork in the road leading to Qingyuan Temple, there are many believers along the way, it can be seen that the incense of this temple is vigorous, there are both brocade robes and ermine furs, high-crowned men riding horses and whips, and there are also women with towering clouds and long skirts sitting in the carriage, from time to time to raise the curtain to look around, or occasionally there are bursts of crisp laughter like silver bells.
It is said to be incense, but in fact, it is more like an outing......
Like the Fang family, such a wealthy family, is the temple and Taoist temples are eager to compete with each other, the monks live in retreat, but they are also inseparable from firewood, rice, oil and salt, the open space behind the mountain in front of the temple is planted with some melons, fruits and vegetables, where can so many people in the temple chew? The money for sesame oil offered by pilgrims is the main source of livelihood.
If which temple can envelop a few family valves, perennial come to burn incense and pray for blessings, that day is simply not too comfortable, the rich sesame oil money not only makes the temple up and down the food and clothing do not worry, even more than many landlords and businessmen are rich, but also can take money out to put the seal, money makes money, like six reincarnations, endless, and the Buddha's teachings are also ......
When I arrived at the mountain gate, I had already got the news of the little novice waiting there, and when I saw the carriage with the family emblem of the Fang family, I hurried to catch up, with a smile on my face, like a small guy who welcomed guests in the Chu Pavilion of the restaurant.
However, entering the incense and praying for blessings is more just to ask for peace of mind, do you really expect the Buddha to bless you?
The Buddha was so busy that he couldn't be too busy to bless him......
Fang Junce stepped forward immediately, and the little novice hurriedly greeted him with a smile, clasped his hands together on his chest, and said, "The donor is polite, Master Sande has been waiting for a long time." ”
The smile on Fang Jun's face stiffened a little, and he suddenly remembered the old monk who had just crossed over, and the old monk who almost broke the truth of his "resurrection of the soul by borrowing the corpse" in one bite, and his heart was inevitably a little weak......
