The phoenix spreads its wings, but encounters forty-four cold rains
Eldest Sun Chong was dumbfounded when he heard thisβhe couldn't imagine that there was such an inside story back then!
The eldest grandson Wuji didn't care about it at all, but said lightly:
"It's ridiculous that my father was too self-righteous at the time, and I really thought that there was a forbidden place in the palace, and we Zhu Yiwei could come and go freely.
Unexpectedly, before Zhu Yiwei entered the palace, the first emperor knew about his father's plan and intended to stop it.
In the end, because of the hesitation of the first emperor, when he discussed with Fang Xiang, after Fang Xiang's advice, he acquiesced to Ying Wei to help Zhu Yiwei and enter Yuhua Palace to assassinate......
It wasn't until the father went to see the prime minister for the last time that he knew the truth.
Chong'er, you should know now, what kind of place is that Ganye Temple to our Tang Dynasty? β
The eldest grandson took a long breath and nodded:
"Father rest assured, son will naturally be careful. I just don't understand. Since Ganye Temple is so important, why does the Lord still send Wu Meiniang into it? β
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly:
"The master is smart, and Wu Meiniang is even smarter. They all know that if Wu Meiniang enters the Ganye Temple, where the eyes and ears of these families are, it will be equivalent to putting her under our guardianship. In this way, there is no doubt that she will never see the Lord again.
And only then will we stop hunting her......
said it a hundred times, the edict of the first emperor did not say anything about asking Wu Meiniang to enter the temple, she herself asked to enter the Ganye Temple, but she wanted to save her life.
And the Lord ......
It can only be said that the Lord really had true feelings for this woman, and he was willing to put her here. β
The eldest grandson Chong was speechless for a long time, and only after a long time did he say:
"That father, now that Wu Meiniang ......"
"It doesn't matter. As long as she is in Ganye Temple, she has great ability, and she is useless - but she must not be taught to meet the Lord and rekindle the old feelings.
It is even more important to be careful that the ladies in the palace come into contact with it. Got it? β
The eldest grandson Chong was stunned again:
"My father said that he could not meet the Lord, and here he understands. But why should even the ladies in the palace be wary? β
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled coldly:
"At present, the development of the harem situation is ambiguous, and no one can guarantee whether these women will be like us in order to keep the lord of the Jin Dynasty, and then think about getting a woman that the lord will definitely like to enter the palace to help.
Women are stupid, they are really stupid enough to do bad things. β
The eldest grandson Chong understood, so he nodded and said:
"Er understands, let me do it - the forces of Wang Xiao's two factions in that temple are also very easy to clean up. I just don't know what else my father commands? β
The eldest grandson Wuji thought about it for a while, but said again:
"And the people and horses of Gao Yang and King Han, think of a way to clear the temple as well. Remember, don't leave a trace! β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
November 25, 23rd year of Zhenguan.
Changan.
Forbidden Garden.
Ganye Temple.
Mingkong was woken up by a screaming exclamation.
Putting on her clothes, she hesitantly looked out of the window brightly reflected by the snowlight, and then looked at Huijue and Huining, who were also uneasy beside her: "I don't know what's wrong?" It's called such a gritty person. β
Huijue was bolder after all, so he changed his clothes and went out to see.
Hui Ning just blindly hid on the couch and couldn't afford it - the snow was heavy these days, and the elders were all invited to the eldest grandson's mansion to pray for the blessing of the little prince who had just been born, so there was nothing to do in the temple.
It's rare to get a good night's sleep, but you're woken up -- it's not a good taste.
"Who knows? Maybe someone fell into the pond behind the temple - the snow was slippery, and the road was so slippery. β
Ming Kong frowned when he heard this:
"Again? Why do people often fall into the water in this pond? β
"I heard from the senior sisters that since the day the temple was built, there have been more than one or two women who have died there."
Huining yawned and was shaking, when she saw Huijue open the wind and snow curtain and enter, carrying a big bucket in her hand.
Seeing this, Mingkong hurriedly stepped forward to help her put it down.
Hui Jue smiled first:
"I just went to the reservoir road, but I met the two senior sisters Huiru and Huiming in the account room. When she saw that I was in such a hurry, she asked me what I was doing. When he heard that I was going to take a look, he hurriedly pulled me and didn't tell me to go. said that everyone was soaked, and looked at the real grits and panicked.
I'm joking that grits are cold, and grits are cold. In the past few days, there is no charcoal in the house, and there is no fire, and it can't be warmed. As a result, the two senior sisters found a bucket of fine silver charcoal out of nowhere to ...... with us
Isn't that a blessing, you say? β
Mingkong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that she knew that someone was dead, but she still talked and laughed like this, and his eyes stared at her.
Seeing Mingkong staring at him like this, Huijue couldn't help but be surprised:
"Mingkong, what's wrong with you? Look at me like that? β
Mingkong froze, but said with a faint smile:
"I just didn't expect Uncle Shi to be so unafraid."
When Hui Jue heard this, he smiled and said:
"I'm not afraid of things, but I've seen too many of them."
Yibi said, and Yibi went to fetch silver charcoal to add it.
Mingkong was surprised when he heard this:
"Uncle Shi said how many people have seen it?"
Huijue nodded and said:
"You know my hometown is not here. In our early years, there were constant disturbances from mountain bandits. Killing people and selling goods is already commonplace. It's worse than that, but it's much worse! β
Mingkong listened to it and his heart tightened:
"Worse?"
Huijue looked at her, then put down the tongs in his hand, and his face hurt when the light of the fire shone on him, and then he said:
"There was a beautiful woman in our village who was taken by the leader of the mountain bandits, so she wanted to take her as a concubine. But this woman refused to commit herself to the bandits, and she also did not want to leave her family, so she refused. Results ......"
Hui Jue lowered his head and said after a while:
As a result, those mountain bandits sneaked into the village in the middle of the night at the third watch, tied up the family first, and knelt in the hall. In front of them, a team of mountain bandits took the woman ...... Ravaged for a while.
Then in front of this woman who was already almost crazy, he slaughtered his family. He cut off the heads of the family and hung them on her door. That's when he threw the woman away......"
Mingkong's heart tightened when he heard this, and he said coldly:
"Could it be...... Is she still ......?"
"Alive."
Huijue nodded and said lightly:
"She's crazy, but she's alive. The bandits would come down from time to time, and often in front of many people, they would ravage her before leaving......
One year she was pregnant, and those who lost their conscience even beat her alive and refused to let her go until she lost her pregnancy.
Alas, she is also a miserable person. β
Ming Kong stopped, and only after a long time did he say softly:
"What about you? Uncle Shi, have you ever thought about helping her? β
Hui Jue looked at Ming Kong in surprise, and said for a long time:
"Absolutely. But a woman, where can you see such a tragic thing? So when I left home a few years ago, I managed to bring her out as well. Then she was placed in a monastery outside Chang'an City - although it was not as good as this Ganye Temple was a royal temple, but she finally had a place to go. β
Mingkong couldn't bear to listen to it, and said after a long time:
"But I don't know which temple it is?"
"What are you asking for?"
Hui Jue asked curiously.
Mingkong said with an unbearable look on his face:
"At the end of the day, it's always the same woman, and the same monk. It would be good if we could help each other. β
Hui Jue sighed at this time:
"You're a kind personβshe's in a small temple outside the city called Pingsha Temple. The abbot there is my fellow countryman, and he is the only place where I can stay. β
Mingkong silently wrote it down, and then asked again:
"But I don't know what happened to those people in the temple today?"
