Previous Chapter: Chapter 514 It's a mystery

Because of Gao, Chen Muyang's work was very good, and soon after the opening of the Liaodong Shangdu Jinju Academy, he obtained a very important news: Liu Hong, the new envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, went to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to allow him to become a monk. ，。 Hua Advertising

Is Liu Hong a devout Buddha believer, certainly not, intelligence shows that the Khitan orphans were very contemptuous of monks before this, every time they led the army to go on an expedition, he set up his kitchen in the temple, as a descendant of the Khitan people, he inherited the dietary customs of the ancestors of the grassland, and liked fishy food, especially cool half-cooked beef and mutton, gulping wine and meat, drinking and eating enough to engage women, and always make the monks' cultivation place smoky.

Is this what a Buddha worshipper should do?

A person who despises the Buddha in his heart suddenly wants to become a monk, what is the secret in it?

Chen Muyang used the resources at his disposal to the extreme, and finally figured out the real reason why Liu Hong asked to resign and become a monk: he has been riddled with nightmares recently, he has been unable to sleep, and he has reached the verge of collapse.

There is a way to be a person who does not do bad things, and he is not shocked when he knocks on the door in the middle of the night. Nightmares are the fruit of Liu Hong's suffering today, and killing his father and brother is the cause planted yesterday.

Although Chen Muyang has long suspected that the deaths of Liu Ji and Liu Qi are inseparable from Liu Hong, there has been no definite evidence to prove this, and everything is still in the speculation stage. It took a considerable price, Chen Muyang saw the envoy sent by Liu Hong to the capital, Liu Hong wanted to become a monk, but the envoy was still greedy for the rolling red dust, he wanted to find a way out, in the face of Chen Muyang's conditions, he couldn't refuse, after hesitating again and again, he still told the truth that Liu Hong killed his father and brother.

When Liu Ji was dying, Liu Qi followed the advice of his staff and drove Liu Hong out of Youzhou, so as not to cause trouble. Liu Hong took the opportunity to obtain actual military power, and he used Pingzhou as a base to look at Youzhou. Liu Ji is in danger and does not die, Liu Qi is stupid and filial piety, and he refuses to take over his father's authority, but because of anxiety, he kills people at every turn, making him uneasy inside and outside. Seeing that there was an opportunity, some people persuaded and helped Liu Hong secretly return to Youzhou, and united with the dissatisfied generals to launch a coup d'état.

Liu Hong covered the face of his adoptive father Liu Ji with a piece of sheepskin, suffocated him to death, and instigated the Yajun to mutiny and kill Liu Qi, thus sitting on the throne of the envoy of Youzhou Festival. But he was a blessed man, and soon after he sat on the Jiedu envoy, his father and brother, who had been killed by him, often came to meet him, and each time in the silence of the night, and every time in his dreams.

In the dream, Liu Ji had a disheveled head, a sheepskin on his face, and called "my beard" one by one. Hua Tang and Liu Qi were covered in blood, holding his own head in his hand, not seeing his legs move, but people from far and near, slowly forced over, his severed neck was still spurting blood, the head in his arms not only opened his eyes, but also smiled at him, his mouth opened and said, "Give me a piece of meat, give me another piece of meat." ”

In the past, the Khitan Koubian, the border army counterattacked, the Khitan was defeated, Liu Hong's biological parents were defeated and fled into the grassland, abandoned him in the wilderness, hungry and cold, surrounded by foxes and wolves, precarious, it was Liu Ji who took him in, took him with him as an adopted son, and brought him back to Youzhou to raise with his sons, the brothers were very affectionate, never despised him because he was a beard, nor alienated him because he was not his own.

The grace of nurturing and the friendship of brothers, Liu Hong kept it in mind, always thinking about the return, and coming to this point today was neither his original intention nor his expectation.

When he wanted to refuse to do evil, there was always a voice in his ear that pouted him and said: "If people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, if Liu Qi gains power, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

Now that Liu Qi himself has no place to be buried, his life is not easy, he is haunted by evil ghosts, and life is better than death.

Every time the soul of his father and brother comes to ask for his life, how can he dare to sleep alone with hundreds of his concubines, half of them are sent by people, half are inherited from their father and brother, the concubines are as beautiful as flowers, waiting to be fed, but he is obsessed with archery and horse riding, and has no intention of taking care of them, the flowers and young stamen are unbearable and lonely, and the guards and staff fornicate with the guards, the staff, and the dark miasma of the back house is made by a Youzhou Festival, according to his past temperament, he has already cut down these flowers and plants and left none of them, but now he has changed his mind, he is afraid of being alone, This is especially true after dark.

He let ten concubines sleep in the same bed, hugging left and right, and lying on the belly, he hoped to use the yang energy on their bodies to deter the unjust ghosts, or slap the face in the face and shame the Liu family father and son, so that they blushed and retreated, but after a toss to no effect, the one who should come is still coming, the soul of the Liu family and the father and son is neither afraid nor embarrassed, and reports on time every night, rain or shine.

Think about it, after all, a woman is a woman, more feminine and less firepower, so the delicate flowers and tender grasses who serve in the bed are replaced by strong and masculine guards, still hugging left and right, but he can't stand it when he lies on his belly.

However, the souls who asked for their lives still visited on time, one calling "my beard" and the other "give me another piece of meat." ”

Someone suggested that he ask the Taoist priest to do a ritual, and he did so according to the law, and the Taoist priest opened the altar and recited: "Humanity is insignificant, and the immortal road is boundless." Ghosts are happy, and they are the door of life. The immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble. "After tossing for three days and three nights, the evil ghosts were not driven away, but the Taoist priests who did it were scared away by the evil ghosts.

The Taoist priest is not useful, please monks, the monks are many powerful, the clothes are splendid, the magic weapons are exquisite, the bowl chime rang for a day and a night, a miracle appeared, Liu Hong fell asleep, slept unusually peacefully, did not dream anything, the wind and rain were not prosperous, and the evil ghosts were nowhere to be seen.

The unjust souls of Liu's father and son fled without a shadow in front of the vast number of Buddhism, and they no longer dared to provoke him.

However, the monk stayed in the Jiedu envoy's house all day to do things really not like it, and rested peacefully for a few days, and after Liu Hong laid a heavy reward, he sent the monks back to the temple.

That night, the souls of the life-seeking reappeared, and this time there were two more: Wei Wenbao and Tan Zhong.

An angry scolding: "A brute who kills his father and kills his brother, a pig and a dog are not as good" A gentle curse: "If you turn your back on humanity, you will not die well." ”

They were all die-hard loyalists of Liu Ji's father and son, and they were eliminated as the biggest stumbling block to instigating the mutiny.

Liu Hong invited the monks back, and the Jiedu embassy reinvigorated the Dharma, and a miracle happened, as soon as the monks returned, the ghost of the life-seeking never appeared again. Therefore, Liu Hong decided that only the vast and boundless Dharma could protect him, and only by becoming a monk could he atone for the sins of this life.

Liu Hong's twists and turns made Li Chun quite embarrassed, Liu Hong was able to replace Liu Qi on the throne, the court made great efforts in secret, the elite of the Longxiang camp was exhausted, Lin Ying personally sat in charge, and it took a lot of effort to have today's situation, I wanted to use Liu Hong to innovate the politics of Youzhou and lay the foundation for the court to flatten the division of Hebei, but I didn't want to have such a broken thing.

If you don't agree, you will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside, Liu Hong played to the court, it was to give the court face, he was in a hurry, he left, who could bear him to leave a mess in Youzhou, and the court to wipe his ass.

But if he agrees to resign and become a monk, it means that his previous efforts have been in vain. Youzhou will return to chaos, Zhu Wei was taken by Li Mao Yingzhou, moved to Pingzhou, although the army was divided, but Zhu was deeply rooted in Youzhou, it is difficult to ensure that it will not take advantage of the chaos.

Zhu Xun's father Zhu Tao and uncle Zhu Zhu are all rebels of the Tang Dynasty, how can you rest assured that Youzhou is in the hands of such a person

Ceded Youzhou to Li Mao Li Mao recovered Liaodong for the Tang Dynasty, and was a hero of Zhongxing, but how did he look at this hero, how did he not look like me, he was similar to the iron bucket operated by Liaodong, and the imperial court couldn't intervene at all.

Liaodong has a population of less than 500,000, but it raised an army of 30,000 Silla and was played by him between applause, Khitan, Murowei, and Shanxi, who were expelled by him, and those who were subdued were subdued, and the border troubles for many years were swept away.

And now he said that the Bohai State is disrespectful, look at the meaning, next spring will start a war with the Bohai State, although the Bohai State has a great Songxuan to make great efforts, but the national strength has not yet recovered, once defeated under his hands, the entire east of the Liao River, he will have no opponent, whether to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty in the future, or to turn Liaodong into the second Hebei, who can say.

Youzhou can't give it to him anymore, Shengmi En's fight against Mi Hat, and if he is too full, he will become an enemy sooner or later.

Li Chun and Li Jiang, who had just returned to Beijing to pay respects, talked for a night, and on the second day ordered Liu Hong to lead the hair to practice at home, continue to sit in Youzhou, and wait for the arrival of the new envoy of the imperial court.

With the holy decree to Youzhou, there are also several doctors with profound medical skills and the name of the national hand. Li Chun didn't believe in gods and ghosts, he concluded that Liu Hong was hallucinating because of his physical illness, as long as he found out the root cause of the disease and prescribed the right medicine, he was still a loyal and good man, guarding the gateway to Youzhou for him.

The imperial edict was still in the drafting stage, and Chen Muyang's secret letter had been sent to Liaodong at a speed of 800 miles a day.

By the time the imperial envoys left Beijing, Li Mao's army on the eastern expedition to the Bohai Sea was already on the way.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Yuanhe, Li Maodu led the third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and ninth, six main divisions and the slave army, totaling 27,000 horse infantry troops, to expedition to the Bohai Kingdom. The heroic and eloquent Bohai King Da Songxuan, in the middle of the summer moonlit night boat tour of the lake, drunk and overboard, a sick can't afford to be, his son Da Yuanyu was ordered to supervise the country, the Bohai domestic torrent surged, the crisis was everywhere.

Liu Hong's decision to go has been decided, the imperial court is ready to transfer the Hedong Jiedu to make Zhang Hongjing move to Youzhou, Li Mao speculated that Youzhou will have a big change, and then Liaodong will inevitably be involved, if it can't solve the worries of Bohai as soon as possible, when the change in Youzhou occurs, Liaodong will be very passive.

Fighting the Bohai Sea, and unpopular, Li Mao entered Liaodong for a few years, first fought Murwei, then Goryeo, then Yingzhou, and then fought Khitan and Murwei, and fought for many years, the soldiers were tired, and the people were tired of war.

Youzhou is far away, and the Bohai Sea is even farther away, what happened to them has a fart relationship with Liaodong, why bother to be reckless and send troops thousands of miles away to fight people

The Bohai Sea is not as good as Goryeo, not as good as Yingzhou, not as good as Khitan and Murowei, its country is 5,000 miles from east to west, 4,000 miles from north to south, with five capitals and 15 prefectures, 62 prefectures, more than 130 counties, and more than 100,000 people with armor.

Today's monarchs and ministers of the Bohai Kingdom are united, the officials and the people are harmonious, the people are determined, and they rush into the army

In the face of doubts from all sides, Li Mao insisted on his own opinion, and he persuaded Ma Hedong, the highest position and the most influential in the opposition, to adjust 13 high-ranking generals who disobeyed orders, cut off the heads of more than 100 gibberish, appointed Jin Tiyong as the deputy commander, forcibly detained 27,000 troops, and launched a war of aggression against the Bohai State without hesitation.
