20. Clouds and Instruments

Two days later, the emperor asked several lieutenant officials to release Cui Shu and Cui Yao, who were originally detained in the guest province, and sent them back to the Cui family mansion in Shengpingfang to "reflect".

But this is still great news for Shengpingfang.

Cui Ning, Liu and Lu sat in the middle hall with their families to welcome the safe return of the two Langjun.

During the detention period, the two Langjun were not tortured, not only did they not lose weight, but they were also white and fat, they just missed their relatives and wives and concubines, and now when they saw their respective mothers, they all cried, and suddenly there was a cry in the middle hall.

At the same time, Gao Yue and his wife Yun Shao, concubine Zhi Hui, and a group of servants also came to bid farewell to their fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law, saying that they had just received an edict to return to Xingyuan Yin and Dingwu Jun as the servants of the Ministry of Worship, and sentenced the affairs of Fengxiang Mansion.

Cui Ning, who learned that his son-in-law was promoted again, immediately understood what was going on in Daming Palace, "It seems that Zhang Yansheng is almost finished." ”

At this time, the Cui of Shengpingfang, except for the couple Cui Ning and Liu, whether they were sincere or half-sincere, all bowed down to Gao Yue Luo to thank him......

Soon, a banquet was held in the middle hall for Gao Yue to practice.

In the bedroom in the back hall, Liu sat in front of the screen and pushed the sealed scroll to Yunhe, who was sitting opposite.

Yunhe's mother, Lu Shi, was lying on the other side of the screen, crying endlessly.

After reaching out to the cloud and stretching out the onion finger and unfolding the scroll, it is the Guanghuani Temple of Xingyuan Mansion that has its own "Receiving Possession", which is roughly called that he feels that his heart is hairy, and the four are perfect, and he can enter the temple as Youpoyi, and since then he has brought hair, and he can enter the temple or practice Yunyun at home.

The clever Yunhe immediately knew that she would not marry any other man in this life......

In the face of the emerging Xuanpingfang Gao clan, the Cui clan of Shengpingfang has been completely restrained and reduced to a certain degree of vassalage.

So Yun He didn't think much about it, so he picked up the pen and signed his name on the inscription.

Seeing this scene, the Lu family behind the screen was reluctant to give up his daughter after all, and cried even more sadly. And the Liu family said to Yunhe: "Since then, you have been in Xingyuan Funi Temple, concentrating on praying for your grandfather and grandmother." ”

This was also commonplace in the Tang Dynasty, in order to express their "filial piety" to the previous generation, parents would let their children be ordained to pray for the blessings of their ancestors, these children were often sent to the temple at a very young age, to some extent regarded as the "sacrifice" of their parents, so that some temples thought that it was illegal for this group of children to be novices or novice nuns at such a young age, and repeatedly wrote to the governor of the state and county, Shi Sima, asking for a stop.

Of course, Yiyunhe's current age is not too young, and it is reasonable to receive it. In addition, in fact, Yunhe's family is Youpoyi, and the truth inside, the Liu family and the Lu family present all understand that Gao Yue has achieved the substantive purpose of being a wife and sister.

At this time, Yun He's sideburns were in a low bun, and he was also full of tears, bowing deeply to his aunt, saying that he had committed a great scandal, had the sin of ten thousand deaths, and could still be forgiven by his uncle and aunt, which was really shameless.

Liu sighed and said to Yun He earnestly: "Although my aunt and I are not studying the classics, I have also heard monks and bhikshunis say in the temple, and now is the era of the end of the Dharma, and people's hearts and systems have long changed. This kind of thing is not Gao Lang's fault, nor is it your Li Niang's fault, it is Shengpingfang and even the entire Boling Cui clan, or the entire atmosphere of the five surnames and Qiwang representatives has declined! The ancient style of the family could not be maintained, and the Buddha religion only flourished in order to cleanse the people's hearts, but it seems that the Buddha religion is not good. ”

At this time, Yun He cried, put his palms together in front of his chest, bowed to his aunt and his mother who was crying behind the screen, and then accepted the receiving documents, lowered his head, and slowly withdrew.

At dawn on October 9, Zhang Yanxian's head was like a fire rising, and he rode on his horse angrily, and his son-in-law Zheng Qi and his son Zhang Hongjing, who had previously been selected by Gao Yuequan as the judge of Dali Temple, followed his father on horseback.

On the streets of Chang'an, where the sun is not yet clear, a newly established Imperial Capital City Patrol Supervisor Collision Team, a total of fifty people, dressed in splendid clothes, holding whistle sticks, carrying quivers and horn bows - since the demon monk case, the Imperial Capital City Patrol Supervisor has obviously strengthened the management of each square - Sure enough, after Zhang Yan rewarded one square, there was this group of brocade soldiers patrolling the street in the next square.

Outside the palace gate of Daming Palace, there were soldiers patrolling the inner prison of the city in front of the patrol shop on the side of the door, checking the officials of the court, and waiting until Zhang Yansheng's identity and family registration were ascertained, and then the three were put into the palace wall, also in the newly established "Waiting for Leakage Courtyard" after the demon monk case.

Now the officials of the Tang Dynasty are not gathered in the Guangzhai Fang outside the Daming Palace, and the emperor said that it is too unsafe: there is a special courtyard to be leaked, and there are lieutenants and guards patrolling the city to protect it.

"It's ridiculous, even the Sixth Army of the Northern Ya has been abolished!" Zhang Yansheng sat on the Hu bed in the courtyard to be leaked, and his anger was not in one place, "Where does the system of this court exist?" The dignified four-grade officials have not yet set up a book, and they are in charge of Sanquan, and their power is already overwhelming, but now they are worshipping as Zhengbai, and they go to the military power and political power of Xingyuan and Fengxiang Mansions, and throw the Quanxuan to Lang Zhong and Wai Lang. This, this, this Datang has not had such rules since its establishment! ”

Zheng Qi didn't say a word beside him, he knew that his father-in-law was scolding Gao Yue.

However, he scolded and scolded, Zhang Yansheng also became weak-hearted, his beard trembled and was no longer majestic, he already knew about the prince and the king of Pu.

Among them, Fu Menghao, the king of Pu, had previously received an order to surrender to the left, and immediately left the capital division and went to Yuezhou to serve as Sima.

This is a strong signal, Zhang Yanxian's face turned gray when he thought of this.

But he still didn't give up, and the top priority was to keep a low profile, so he slowly suppressed the fire that had originally risen on his head.

When he passed through the Jinwu Courtyard, Zhang Yansheng was even more painful and desperate, because he saw that Guo Tuo, a young eunuch patrolling the city with a horizontal knife and an embroidered hat in front of the courtyard, looked at him and his eyes became very cold and snobbish.

The change in Guo Foran's eyes almost indicates the auspiciousness of the eunuch journey......

At this time, in Dou Shen's house, according to the usual practice, this household squire and Yushi Zhongcheng, the official in charge of the household department Qian Jiaxiantai, was still the first to walk into the corner on the side of the hall surrounded by a black curtain, the candle flame was shaking inside, and the villain tied with pampas grass still stood in the shrine, "Fifth brother." Dou Shen held the incense bunch in his hand and said.

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a gust of wind swept over, and the horn of the curtain was lifted, and with a "bang", the candle by the shrine turned over, and the little man was suddenly swallowed up by the ignited fireworks in Dou Shen's eyes, "Fifth brother!" ”

When the fire grew bigger and bigger, the servants of Dou Shen's house flocked to extinguish the flames.

I saw Dou Shen sitting paralyzed on the floor, looking at the villain who had turned into ashes, and said in a distracted voice: "Fifth brother, this is a prophecy - Shen'er, my Shen'er ......"

At this time, at the junction of Yuanzhou and Huizhou, Dou Shen followed a huge delegation of the Huimeng, a total of 1,800 officials and soldiers, through the Pingliang New Town of Danzheng Gorge, and then crossed the steep Liupan Mountain, broke away from the control of the Tang Army, and arrived at the Haoshui River on the west side of the foothills.
