Chapter 407: Shock
For this matter, the Queen Mother didn't see anything to take precautions against, after all, she was not an addict, and she couldn't experience the feeling of being poisoned by Fu Tea and Awakening Pill. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But since Yu Mao said it so seriously, it is not impossible to take some precautions, so he nodded and said: "Okay, this matter is up to you to deploy, but it depends on the situation, and as a last resort, don't impose martial law in the whole city." ”
"The last general will obey the order!" Yu Mao clenched his fists and promised.
When Yu Mao came out of the hall, he immediately saw Yu Long who was greeted by the outer door, he paused and said: "It is likely that something big will happen recently, and you must protect the Queen Mother every step of the way." ”
"Linglong knows." Yu Long smiled, then approached his father and asked quietly, "Dad, my daughter has something she wants you to help with." ”
"There's no time." After Yu Mao finished speaking, he left directly, but Yu Long was depressed.
Compared with the more calm treatment of the Queen Mother, outside the palace at this moment, in the Taiping Taoist Temple in Qinghuafang, more than a dozen Zhongdu Guanguan masters gathered here, and from time to time there were several elderly Taoists anxiously entering the view from all directions, and some pilgrims were puzzled, and they didn't understand what happened to the Taiping Dao today, why so many virtuous and respected Taoists suddenly poured out.
Until dusk, the Taoist priests who entered the Taiping Taoist Temple were still in an endless stream, not only ordinary viewers, but even some real people and true monarchs who did not care about the world and rarely walked around in the people.
"What should I do?"
"yes, how can such a big thing be?"
"I think we can only transfer Yingsu from other places to alleviate it, otherwise there will really be a big mess!"
"Everyone has such thoughts, but far water can't save the near fire, even if you send someone out now, you won't be able to transport it in seven or eight days! But these days have we lived on our own? Junior brother, there is not much left of my view of survival, and I only sent someone to cross the river to fetch it yesterday, but I came back empty-handed and told me about this thunderbolt on a sunny day......"
"Why don't you lend me ten catties?"
"Ten pounds! It would be nice to be able to take out a pound now! ”
"What then? Don't let the people come to my view to make trouble, you must know that once these people are addicted, they can do anything! ”
"I told you not to sell so much on weekdays, but now it's okay, alas, ......"
In the Taoist temple, which has long been closed, dozens of old Taoists chattered and discussed with each other, all of them frowning and spitting bitterness.
"Uncles, don't quarrel, the master will be there." Qian Ming suddenly stood up at this time.
As soon as they heard Qianming's words, all the Taoist priests stopped discussing and looked at the side door of the main hall, hoping that after the elder brother came out, he could solve this urgent need for everyone.
When an old man in a bright yellow robe walked into the hall, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He is the national teacher of the dynasty, and the Taiping is in charge of teaching Xuanyunzi!
"Senior brother!"
"Brother Master!"
"See the ...... of the Teacher"
For a time, dozens of Taoist priests bowed in unison.
"Presumably all of you know that my sect suffered a catastrophe last night, dozens of acres of gardens were burned to scorched earth by thieves, and the tea medicine in the camp turned into ashes, which is like a catastrophe in the sky, and I want my sect to be spurned by all the people!"
"Senior brother......!" The Taoist priests were speechless.
Xuanyun glanced at the speechless Taoist priests, shook his head, and sighed: "The matter has come to this point, the investigation of the thief can only be postponed, and the top priority is to send someone to the nearest garden to collect tea and medicine." ”
"But this back and forth is at least seven or eight days, how should this time be?" An old Taoist said anxiously.
"Report the number of tea and medicine stored, no one can hide it for me, otherwise I will be expelled from teaching, and I will make proper arrangements for the rest."
Although some of the surviving viewers were dissatisfied after hearing this, no one dared to oppose Xuanyun's words, so they could only bow down and agree.
"Zhengyang, Wankong, and Suwei are coming with me, and the rest of the junior brothers and nephews will go back and prepare." After Xuanyun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner door.
Zhengyang, Wankong and Su Wei glanced at each other, and then followed Xuanyun silently.
"Senior brother, who is this so-called?" When the four of them came to a vast hall, the anxious Wan Kongzi spoke first.
"Who else can there be, isn't this on the surface." Zhengyangzi snorted coldly.
"Huh?" Wan Kongzi didn't know what to do, and was about to ask, when Su Weizi, who had a childish face on the side, pulled his big sleeve and said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Wankong, Senior Brother Zhengyang is talking about the Yin family!" ”
"Yin family!" Wan Kong was shocked and said in disbelief: "How can it be the Yin family?" What are the benefits of them doing this? ”
"There are so many benefits that you can't count them, so why don't they do it?" Zhengyangzi sneered.
Wan Kongzi still couldn't figure it out, but Su Weizi was like a mirror in his heart, and explained his confusion: "Now the entire Daning is a powerful person except for my Taiping Dao, which is the Yin family, of course, except for the Ma family in the northwest and the three kings in the south of the Yangtze River, they are not in the court, and there is no conflict between the interests of us, but the Yin family, there are one-third of the civil and military officials who support them, and the remaining two points, one point is controlled by us, and one point is the group of wavering old ghosts, completely scattered, not to be afraid, therefore, I teach once something happens, In the end, only the Yin family will benefit! ”
"I see." Wan Kongzi rarely participates in officialdom, so it is normal to not know these twists and turns.
"But even so, the Yin family shouldn't be so ruthless when they want to deal with us, how is this different from taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle? Aren't you afraid that we will fight back desperately? Wan Kongzi frowned.
"Senior Brother Wankong, you haven't been out and around for a long time, and the matter of the old Huang Li is also mentioned." Zhengyangzi glanced at Wan Kongzi, and said: "The matter in Jiangnan has made the Yin family see the dawn of getting rid of us, it is all that damn Yanjiao, I have already said that when I directly got rid of Dong Ce, why did I get such trouble." ”
"But that Dong Ce is just a puppet, the Yanjiao behind him is our henchman, if we can't make Dong Ce commit a heinous crime, kill him and there will be the next, then they will be more vigilant and more difficult to deal with, or continue to hide, like a poisonous snake staring at me all the time, how can people sleep peacefully?" Suvizi shook her head and sighed.
"Okay, don't argue, put aside the matter of Yanjiao for the time being, the top priority is to appease the people, and there is ......" The national teacher Xuan Yunzi was halfway through his words, and the old man's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he glanced at the three junior disciples and said word by word: "Prevent the imperial court from continuing to cause trouble!" ”
"Senior brother, junior brother has a plan that I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Zhengyangzi suddenly spoke.
"Say." Xuanyunzi said calmly.
Zhengyangzi nodded, sorted out the strategy in his mind, and said: "If it weren't for the Yin family's actions, they would definitely not have made a big move, otherwise, the whole city will be under martial law, and the entire Zhongzhou checkpoints and ferries will also prohibit me from teaching tea medicine, and in the end, the people who can't get tea medicine will definitely turn against my sect, then this is when the real disaster of my sect is coming!" ”
"Hmm." Xuan Yunzi and the other two veterans all felt that Zhengyangzi's words were very reasonable.
Zhengyangzi continued: "Therefore, we might as well take the plan, aren't they forbidden, we directly tell the people that there is a plague near Zhongzhou, only I Taiping tea medicine can be solved, but the court is afraid that the plague will enter the city and harm the court, at that time, who will the people believe?" ”
"Shhh Wan Kongzi and Su Weizi both took a deep breath, and they were really taken aback by Zhengyangzi's bold strategy.
Xuan Yunzi was calm, pondered for a moment, and said coldly with a light in his eyes: "Senior Brother Zhengyang, you are responsible for transporting all the tea and medicine from Zhongzhou to Luoyang Mansion, and all pilgrims who come to ask for medicine cannot be refused, and at the same time, let the tea and medicine in the surrounding states be hoarded, and inform the people that it has been collected by the imperial court and transported to Zhongzhou, remember, don't forget to remind the local government." ”
"Senior brother is wise!" Zhengyangzi hurriedly responded, and at the same time, a smile also appeared on his face, he had waited for this moment for too long!
Zhengyangzi has always believed that with the strength accumulated by Taiping Dao today, he can actually replace the imperial court long ago, but the elder brother in charge has never nodded, so he is helpless.
But now, Taiping Dao suddenly encountered the danger of life and death, and the senior brother no longer had any reason to refuse!
Wan Kongzi and Su Weizi met face to face, and both of them were a little frightened, because the consequences of doing so were too terrible, and if one was not done well, Taiping Dao would definitely be wiped out, although the benefits after victory were indeed greater than the sky, but was it really that easy?
Leaving the inner hall of the elder brother, Wan Kongzi and Su Weizi immediately said goodbye to Zhengyangzi, and after leaving the Taiping Taoist Temple in a hurry, they immediately found a secluded place to spy on it.
"This matter is not small, what should I do?" Wan Kongzi really didn't want to participate in such a big event in his heart, after all, he was now highly respected, and his health was not as good as day by day, so he couldn't take the big risk of this night.
Su Weizi's mind is not the same, he shook his head and sighed: "The matter has come to this point, and there is only this way, otherwise what can you do to solve the current predicament?" ”
"Yes, I told my brother in charge earlier." Wan Kongzi shook his head and sighed, looked at the last wisp of the sun in the sky, and said in a tone full of helplessness: "Let's consider the path of the juniors!" ”
The next day, only one day after the fire burned the warbler, the whole Zhongzhou was in chaos.
First the number of guards on the street surged, then the strict inspection of the checkpoint ferry, and then the strict ban in the central capital Luoyang, all of this seems to indicate something!
But at the same time of chaos, there is a group of Taoist priests doing one thing in an orderly manner!
In addition to Luoyang, in all the prefectures and counties in Zhongzhou, the figure of Taoist priests is several times more than in the past, some enter the courtyard of the local wealthy scholars, and some simply go to the yamen of the prefecture and county.
And what they did was to spread the word about a plague that would horrible everyone!
This plague came strangely without warning, but no one didn't believe it, because it was said by the Taiping!
At this moment, the power displayed by Taiping Dao once again shocked the court that was watching.
"Plague!" Yu Mao held the secret letter in his hand, and his brows were tightly locked.
"General, if the lowly position guesses is correct, it is Taiping Dao who is going to fight back!" The person who spoke during the banquet knelt down on Yu Mao's right hand, this person was dressed as a young Confucian scholar, but he had a white face, red lips and white teeth, and his temperament was as gentle as jade, like a wealthy lady, dignified and elegant.
"Oh, sir, why do you say that?" Yu Mao said in surprise.
Zhang Changjing, as Yu Mao's chief staff, has always believed in his words, and the reason why he asked like this is that this matter is too big, so big that he really can't believe it.
Zhang Changjing smiled, a limited edition folding fan produced by the Lan Fan Workshop in his hand was thrown away by him in a decent manner, looking at the blue bird on the fan surface that was as realistic as a living creature, and said in a soft tone: "The general is pressing step by step, and they have no way to retreat, if they don't move again, they will be wiped out!" ”
