Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 55 The Wind Rises in the Palace
Jiang Hyun handed the little wolf cub to the hunter to hold, stretched out his hand again, let Jing Wei help him up, and asked, "How did you find here?" ”
Jing Wei glanced at the girl, Jiang Hyun knew that it was inconvenient for outsiders to know, so Jing Wei helped himself aside. Jing Wei saw that the girl was still teasing the little wolf cub, so she didn't follow her, and she didn't look this way, so she said: "These people are all Qingfeng's people, Cao Jun, Ding Jun, Zitai and I, divided into dozens of teams, and have been searching the mountains since yesterday. Fortunately, Jiang Jun was fine, and he met me in this Longmen Mountain. ”
Jiang Xun nodded and said, "It turned out to be Longmen Mountain, but I actually moved here!" In this way, you escort the two of us back to the city, and then someone will inform you to return to the city on your own. As he spoke, he pointed to the girl behind him.
Jing Wei looked at the girl and said in a low voice: "Jiang Jun, this girl is not simple!" ”
"Huh? How is it? Jiang Hyun was puzzled.
"It's a long story." Jing Wei beckoned, and the two Qingfeng gangsters brought a pair of restraints and carried Jiang Xun up, and the girl also divided a pair of restraints, and everyone immediately walked down the mountain. The so-called restraint is a stretcher.
Jing Wei followed Jiang Xun's restraints, did he still glance back at the girl, and said, "Jiang Jun, if it is as Cao Yilang said, this girl is the princess of Wannian." ”
"How?" Jiang Hyun was surprised, and then realized that this matter was not simple, and asked, "What are the details, you can tell me in detail." ”
Jing Wei said as he walked: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty suddenly summoned the three dukes, Zhang Rang, and He Jin to meet them, and urgently changed the guard, and then the news came, saying that the princess of Wannian was assassinated, and she was nowhere to be found, and she was suspected of being robbed by gangsters, and sent the Yulin battalion to search the mountain, and also transferred the infantry battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion of the Northern Army. Later, Cao Jun rushed to discuss with Yuan Jun. It just so happened that I couldn't find Jiang Jun, so I also returned to the camp to explain the reason, so Cao Jun hurriedly scattered everyone to look around. We searched the mountains separately until it was dark, and when I returned to the camp, there was no one to be found, nor was the Son of Heaven gone, nor did I wait for anyone to come, so I went back to the city. ”
Jiang Hyun touched the little wolf cub lying on his belly, and said: "The Son of Heaven is hunting, at least for a few days, even if the princess is missing, there is no reason to return to the palace suddenly, but what happened?" ”
Jing Wei continued: "I only knew the reason for this after listening to what Ding Jun said. It was already the time to return to the city that day, I went home, and before I arrived at Qingping Lane, I saw a lot of soldiers standing outside Qingping Lane, and then Shi A suddenly appeared, pulled me to a secluded place, saying that I could not return home for the time being, Zhen'er, Yi'er and Xiaoyuan would be fine, and then turned around and took me into the Dingjun Mansion in the west of the city. ”
Jiang Hyun asked, "Could it be that I suspect that I have kidnapped the princess?" He glanced back at the girl and said, "I think she is the princess, and when I return to the city, the misunderstanding will be solved naturally." If she is not, she can help me testify and prove my innocence. In fact, Jiang Hyun's guess was right, this girl is Liu Qian, the princess of Wannian.
Jing Wei sighed and said, "I hope so." But something else happened, that night Yuan Jun hurriedly called Ding Jun away, and then returned the night, saying that the Son of Heaven suddenly drove back to the palace that day, and then King Chen, Sangong, Zhang Rang, and He Jin entered the palace with the Son of Heaven, and there was no news. ”
Jiang Hyun once again realized the seriousness of the matter and said: "In this way, it means that the third duke, King Chen, He Fujun, and Zhang Rang entered the palace, and they never came out, and there is no news coming out?" ”
Jing Wei nodded and said, "That's right, until early yesterday morning, the three dukes didn't leave the palace, and Yuan Jun went to Yuan Situ to inquire about the news, but found nothing. I am afraid that except for the three princes, the rest are under house arrest in the palace. Later, Yuan Jun sat in the city and sent dozens of teams into the mountains to search. ”
Jiang Hyun asked again: "King Chen should have nothing to do with this matter, how can he be implicated in this?" ”
Jing Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
Jiang Hyun pondered for a long time, and he could be regarded as having a clear idea, but what was the reason for the abnormal behavior of the Son of Heaven? If it is because the princess is missing and worried about safety, it makes sense to change the guard temporarily and return to the palace in a hurry. But at this time, it was time to let He Jin, who was Henan Yin, go out to search the mountain with all his might, was he worried that He Jin would be unfavorable to the princess? But even so, there was no need to put He Jin under house arrest, and Zhang Rang and Chen Wang were also placed under house arrest.
After thinking about it, Jiang Hyun couldn't figure it out, plus the physical exertion in the past few days was too great, and he lost a lot of blood, so he didn't think about it anymore, his eyes were closed, his head fell down, and he fell asleep.
After a long time, Jiang Xun was awakened by the sun, opened his eyes, and was surrounded by pedestrians, cars and horses, and had arrived in front of the White Horse Temple.
This White Horse Temple is not an official temple of the imperial court, but a Buddhist temple. More than 100 years ago, Emperor Xiaoming stayed in the South Palace at night, and dreamed that a golden man with a height of six zhang and a glow on his head came from the west and flew around the palace. The next morning, Emperor Xiaoming told his ministers about this dream, and Dr. Fu Yi said that "there are gods and Buddhas in the West, as your majesty saw in your dreams." Emperor Xiaoming was overjoyed when he heard this, and sent more than ten people, including ministers Cai Yin and Qin Jing, to the Western Regions to ask for Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism.
Cai, Qin and others bid farewell to the imperial capital and embarked on a journey of 10,000 miles to "learn from the West". In the country of the Great Moon clan (from present-day Afghanistan to Central Asia), he met the Indian monks Semoten and Zhu Falan, saw Buddhist scriptures and the white felt statue of Shakyamuni Buddha, and implored the two monks to go east to China to preach the Dharma.
Two Indian monks were invited to work with the envoy to carry Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses and return to Luoyang. Emperor Xiaoming was very happy to see the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and was extremely polite to the two monks, personally received them, and arranged for them to stay temporarily in the Honglu Temple, which was in charge of foreign affairs. Then, Emperor Xiaoming ordered the construction of a monastery in the north of the three-mile imperial road outside the Xiyong Gate in Luoyang. In commemoration of the White Horse Sutra, it was named "White Horse Temple". The word "temple" originates from the "temple" of "Honglu Temple". There are many Tianzhu buildings in the temple, but Jiang Hyun is injured, and he is not in the mood to enterprising.
Today's Buddhism has only been introduced for more than 100 years, and it is not prosperous, and there are few temples, and this White Horse Temple is the most in the world.
The people who searched for Jiang Xun received a message sent by Jing Wei, and there were already more than a dozen people waiting here, and Cao Cao, Ding Xiao and Shi A were still on the mountain and had not come down. When everyone saw that Jiang Hyun was safe, they wanted to go home. At this moment, a group of knights roared over, led by two people, one wearing a helmet and armor, dressed as a general, and one dressed as a long crown and a scribe.
The military general stopped in front of Jiang Hyun's team and said loudly: "Captain Tun Cavalry and Luo Yang Ling are here, welcome the princess back to the palace!" ”
Before the princess Wannian in the back could answer, the captain of the Natun cavalry pointed to Jiang Xun who was lying on the reins, and asked sternly, "Are you Jiang Xun?" ”
Jiang Hyun was unhappy in his heart, thinking that he had saved the princess, and the other party was so arrogant and unreasonable, calling her by name, so she didn't raise her head, lay down on the restraint with a big grin, and said, "Exactly!" ”
The captain of Natun didn't care about the princess Wannian who was tied up behind, took out a silk book, and said: "By the edict, Jiang Xun colluded with rebellion, intended to assassinate and bewitch the princess, and was immediately sent to Luoyang Prison pending trial." Left and right, take it! Saying that, the two cavalry groups separated and surrounded everyone, and more than a dozen cavalry dismounted and came straight to Jiang Xun.
When Jiang Xun heard that he had been accused of such a crime for no reason, he immediately became angry, got up suddenly, pointed at the captain of the Tun cavalry opposite, and scolded: "The vertical son dares to arrest Naigong!" At this time, he saw that the Yang Ling in front of him was no longer Zhou Yi, it turned out that at this moment, the Son of Heaven had not let Zhang Rang and He enter and leave the palace, so he quickly dismissed Zhou Yi.
Jiang Xun was angry, Jing Wei and the others drew their swords and bows, if the other party dared to come and rob someone, they would dare to fight hard.
Seeing the tension between the two sides, Princess Wannian thought that it was because of her misunderstanding, but don't really have a dispute, so she handed over the young wolf in her arms to others, jumped off the restraints, ran to the captain of the tunqi, pointed at Jiang Xun and said: "Captain, it is true that someone assassinated the princess, but it has nothing to do with Jiang Bopei." If it weren't for Jiang Bopei's repeated sacrifices to save her, would this princess be able to return to the city? ”
The captain of the tunqi glanced at the princess, and did not dismount, but beckoned to call out a team of Huangmen attendants, and said: "The princess doesn't have to say much to me, after returning to the palace, your majesty will share it with you." As soon as he finished speaking, the group of chamberlains of the Yellow Gate picked up the princess and walked back.
The princess wanted to break free, but her body had not yet recovered, and even if she recovered, she was the opponent of several adult attendants, so she had to be dragged away by the attendants, but she shouted unconsciously: "You bold dog slave!" There is a difference between a monarch and a minister in his eyes! I sue you to my father, sue you for forcibly holding the clan hostage, and raze your three clans! But no matter how Princess Ren shouted and cursed, the captain of the Tun Cavalry ignored herself and didn't even look back.
Seeing that the other party was so tough, Jiang Hyun also retreated in his heart, if it was really hard fighting, even if he fought this battle, the other party had the edict of the Son of Heaven, could he still fight back?
Jiang Xun called Jing Wei, leaned on his ear, and ordered: "Meng De and Meng Chen are still in the mountains, you quickly enter the city to inform the first brother, and say that Luoyang ordered Zhou Jun to be deposed, and I have been sent to Luoyang Prison." ”
Jing Wei slammed the halberd in his hand to the ground and said hurriedly: "Jiang Jun! Don't go with them! I fought for this life, and I will protect Jiang Jun today! ”
Jiang Xun interrupted Jing Wei with a wave of his hand, got off his rope, handed the little wolf cub in his arms to Jing Wei, and said, "You only rely on me, take care of these two young wolves." ”
