The cold wind whistled, the fire became bigger, Zheng Wen was surrounded by all the armor soldiers and withdrew from the Temple of Heaven, and the Yulin Army also began to extinguish the fire under the command of Li Wei.

……

Yanjing Guanyin Temple.

This is a Buddhist temple that has been established for 16 years, located in a remote corner of Nancheng District, was built in the first year of Jianqi, the main thing to worship is to seek the son of Guanyin, covers an area not wide, usually the folk incense is not prosperous, but the reputation of the upper class of Daqian is very wide, this Buddhist temple mainly serves the upper class people and families of Yanjing, so it is still relatively magnificent.

Tonight, the temple was not attacked, so it did not suffer the slightest loss, but at this time, the temple was brightly lit and welcomed uninvited guests.

Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, led a large number of Jinyi Guards to surround the Guanyin Temple.

In a secluded nunnery of Guanyinshi, the presiding officer Xuan Fu was facing a man dressed in black and with long hair and commanded: "Child, I will take the monks to drag Jinyiwei, you go through the secret road, tonight Yanjing is in chaos, no one will pay attention to you, you must live." ”

After a pause, he spoke: "You tell my eldest brother, you can't do anything, let him escape as soon as possible, and consider the way back as soon as possible, as for me who is already a monk, I should have cut off the red dust and serve my Buddha wholeheartedly, but after all, I still can't suppress the greed in my heart, tonight is the time for the Buddha to condemn his sin, so that he doesn't have to be sad!" At this time, Xuanfu was so dusty.

When the man heard this, he understood that the person in front of him was holding the heart of death, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a choked voice: "Master, you can go with me, anyway, Yanjing is already in chaos, we can still escape." ”

Xuan Fu listened, but said with a smile on his face: "Li Hao, child, don't say these stupid things again, since Guanyin Temple is surrounded by Jinyiwei, presumably Zheng Yi, the commander of Jinyiwei, must have arrived, if he doesn't see me, how can he rest assured, child, don't say any more, let's go!" ”

When Li Hao heard this, the sadness on his face became even worse, and he just wanted to say something.

Xuan Fu said again: "The treasure place and treasure map I told you, you must keep your mouth shut, and you are not allowed to confide a word. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said in Li Hao's ear: "It's my eldest brother, you are not allowed to tell him, it is good for you to know alone, that is my savings in Yanjing for more than ten years, after tonight, only you will know." ”

Li Hao listened, but his mind was full of doubts, and he just wanted to ask something, but there was a huge sound of slamming the door outside.

And Xuan Fu also urged: "Child, let's go, remember what I said." He said with a calm face.

Li Hao listened, nodded at him, bent down, lifted a mat for zazen with both hands, uncovered the stone slab, and jumped down.

When Xuan Fu saw it, he quickly bent down, restored the slate, covered the mat again, got up and looked, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and walked out of the nunnery.

At this time, Zheng Yi also led a large number of brocade guards to smash open the gate and rushed into the Guanyin Temple.

I saw that the one who hit the head was Xuan Fu, dressed in plain monk's clothes, tall, about forty years old, but he was a dusty breath, but behind him were the monks of the temple, many of whom were still holding monk sticks, all with angry faces.

The two sides stopped just a foot apart, but the faint opposition showed that the two sides were not all the way.

Xuan Fu bowed to Zheng Yi, and then said with a smile: "Amitabha, General Zheng is not harmed, there are few monks in the small temple, but he has neglected the distinguished guests." ”

Zheng Yi saw it, but he laughed and said, "I should have called you Master Xuanfu?" Or should I call you Li Sheng? I didn't expect it, for more than ten years, you, the number two person of the bad guy, are hiding in this small temple in Yanjing, it is really the safest place to be the most dangerous, and you are still in Yanjing, I really didn't expect it! ”

Xuan Fu listened, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was quite complicated, and sure enough, he still came to this point.

So, he said calmly: "Since the poor monk has served my Buddha, there is no need to mention the common name, the general can call the poor monk Xuanfu." ”

"Oh, Xuanfu? Are you still thinking about the dream of returning to the country? Ben will see that you are a fake monk, with compassion on your face, and secretly you don't know what to think of, you remnants of Li Tang should die. Zheng Yi said sarcastically, but his tone was vicious.

Xuan Fu saw it, but he smiled, and then he spoke: "What the general said is very true, but the general is not a dog in front of His Majesty today, what is the difference between me?" He also said sarcastically, obviously trying to provoke Zheng Yi.

But Zheng Yi didn't get angry when he heard it, but said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a sharp side, but looking at your bald head, Ben Jiang is also relieved, monk, isn't it just his mouth?" ”

"But don't talk nonsense, it's time for you to make a choice, Master Xuanfu!" As he spoke, Zheng Yi took a step back and retreated into the queue of Jinyiwei.

And the Jinyi Wei crossbowman also consciously aimed the bow and crossbow in his hand at Xuanfu and a group of monks.

Xuan Fu looked at this scene, his heart was extremely complicated, the thoughts in his mind were entangled with each other, life and death, it was so close, further was death, taking a step back was life, no one could be calm between life and death.

Xuan Fu at this time was no exception, but he was a decisive person after all, and he quickly made up his mind and just wanted to say something.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zheng Yi preemptively ordered.

Suddenly, the rain of arrows rushed over, and Xuanfu and his group were caught off guard and were shot squarely, and there was a scream of "ahhhh

Under three rounds of arrows, more than 100 monks fell. Xuan Fu was also pierced by the rain of arrows, and fell to the ground, bleeding from his body, and his mouth was spraying rain, but his eyes were staring at Zheng Yi, obviously not dead.

And the other brocade guards also crossed the crossbowmen one after another, and went towards the corpses all over the ground, and made up for the corpses lying on the ground, whether they were dead or not.

And Zheng Yicai approached Xuan Fu, bent down, and said to Xuan Fu, who was not yet dead: "Your Majesty's order, bad people, kill them all!" ”

When Xuan Fu heard this, he tilted his head and died.

Zheng Yicai got up and ordered loudly: "Search for this general, tonight, there will be no chickens and dogs left in this temple!" ”

Guanyin Temple ushered in another killing poke, and finally ushered in a fire!

At this time, Li Hao, who was mixed in a secluded corner and pretended to be a beggar, looked at the raging people in Guanyin Temple, but he cried, crying heartbreakingly, but there was no sound, but his face was vicious, like a devouring beast.

He knew that his father was dead, and even though they knew each other in their hearts, the two had never known each other, but he knew that his father loved him!

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the raging fire of Guanyin Temple again, and escaped into the darkness.

……

The fifteenth moon was full and bright, and the fire of Yanjing City complemented each other, she couldn't speak, but she witnessed the sadness and wailing of Yanjing City tonight.

The cruelty of politics is like this, Zheng Wen lost tonight, but he also won.

Everything that happened in Yanjing City tonight, although it was not directed by him, but it was promoted by him, and he had the opportunity to stop it many times, but he chose to stand by and watch.

Looking at the fireworks all over the city, he didn't know if it was right or not, and there was no sadness in his heart, nor a trace of joy, no sadness and no joy filled his heart, and there was a trace of loneliness.

Is this an emperor?

He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to.

The cold door blew through his face, and he said to Li Wei who was standing beside him: "Li Wei, pass on my order, order Jiang Kong to lead the Beijing camp army, martial law the capital, extinguish the fire, and kill anyone who takes advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

"No!"

"Pass on my order, let Yin Jialiang of Yanjing Mansion lead Yanjing government affairs, check the losses of Yanjing, and repair Yanjing!"

"No!"

"Li Wei, you take Yulin Jun and personally go to seal the Tang Palace, the Tang King and his family are under house arrest, and no one is allowed to visit them!"

"No!"

Zheng Wen gave three orders in a row before he stopped speaking.

……

The 200,000 troops of the capital camp quickly left the Beijing camp, blockaded the entire Yanjing, and the fire was quickly extinguished.

And Jia Liang also began to exercise his responsibility as Yin of Yanjing Mansion, for a while he was anxious, the dead body wanted him to dispose of, and the embers of the burned building wanted him to dispose of it, but fortunately, with Lin Chen's help, he was still handy.

But because of this, he, the Yin of Yanjing Mansion, is in charge of the power of Yanjing City, and he is no longer as nominal as the Yin of Yanjing Mansion in the past dynasties.

……

At this time, the Tang Palace, ushered in the Yulin Army led by Li Wei, the Tang Palace, was blocked, and the Tang King was placed under house arrest.

At this time, King Tang was sitting on a chair in the main hall with an embarrassed face, his face pale, and around him were several Yulin armor soldiers who stood straight and were fully armed.

He knew that he had lost this time, he had lost in a mess, and he had been deceived by Xianghua's dead eunuch, but he had nothing to gain and lost his freedom.

He was full of indignation and unwillingness!

……

The sky is gradually bright, the sun is out, and the fire has long been extinguished, but the huge Yanjing City can still smell the pungent smell of fireworks.

And Weiyang Palace.

Tang King Zhengjiao's biological mother, Concubine Xie Gui, knelt alone at the gate of the palace, dressed in single clothes, with a sad face.

When the news of Yu Linjun's seizure of Tang Wang's mansion and house arrest of Tang King Zheng Jiao reached the palace, she knew that the fire in Yanjing last night was probably inseparable from his eldest son.

She is full of sorrow, but she is strong as a mother, and she has lost the piece of heaven that she once could rely on, and she knows that the one who can save her son is the master of Weiyang Palace, the Queen Mother Wang, so she lost her former dignity and knelt in front of the palace gate of her old rival.

But she also knew that this kneeling was not enough to save her son.

Kneeling is just attitude!

With the ......

For a long time, the Queen Mother, who was dressed in plain clothes, came to the palace gate of Weiyang Palace.

I saw the Queen Mother Wang quickly stepped forward, bent down and pulled up Concubine Xie Gui, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Why should my sister be like this? You and I are like sisters, can you just tell me no? ”

The Queen Mother Wang was full of smiles, like a spring breeze, and she couldn't see the two of them at all.

Concubine Xie Gui also took the opportunity to whisper in the ear of the Queen Mother Wang, only to see that the Queen Mother's face changed greatly, and her face was full of earth.

But after all, he is a master of palace fighting, and in an instant, he was full of smiles, took Xie's hand and said: "My sister finally came once, so I went to my sister's house to drink some tea, this is a good dragon well before the rain!" ”
