Chapter 814: An Invitation That Can't Be Refused

Yang Guang adopted Zhang Heng's suggestion and sent people to Lingnan to inquire about the news that Pei Ju had been ordered to recruit Mrs. Anxi, but the people sent met with the envoy who had come to meet Yang Guang on the order of Mrs. Xi, so he returned to Guangling with the comer, and reported to Yang Guang that Mrs. Xi had accepted the imperial court's recruitment and led the Lingnan barbarian tribes to pay tribute to the court.

Yang Guang was overjoyed after receiving the report, warmly entertained the envoy, prepared many gifts to bring back to Hongzhou to give to Mrs. Xi, and greeted her.

Subsequently, from eastern Zhejiang, there was a military report that Wang Zhongxuan's rebels retreated southward, and Yang Guang immediately ordered Wei Huang to unify the army to turn defense into attack, and it was necessary to completely annihilate the rebels.

At the same time, Yang Guang also accepted Pei Yun's suggestion and ordered the prefecture and county offices in Jiangnan to severely eliminate the remnants of Nanchen who tried to cooperate with the rebels and cause chaos in various parts of Jiangnan.

Soon, the officers and troops in Southern Xuzhou, Wuxing and other places received a shocking news in the process of being ordered to wipe out the local remnants of Nanchen: according to the confession of the captured remnants of Nanchen, the Great Bodhisattva had passed down a secret order to assassinate Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and forced the Sui army to withdraw from Lingnan.

After receiving this news, Pei Yun, who was ordered by Yang Guang to preside over the clean-up affairs in various places, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately rushed to the governor's office to report to Yang Guang himself.

"Send someone to assassinate me? Hehe, that's a good ploy. Yang Guang listened to the report, let out a sneer, and instructed Pei Yun, "I heard Jianping mention a while ago that the Xie ancestral hall is about to be completed, and you will order someone to release the news, this king will soon go to Jiankang in person to preside over the memorial to the ancestors of the Xie family." ”

"Xia Guan understands what the prince means, but after all, the other party is in the dark, and I am in the light, so please think twice." Pei Yun's duty was to dissuade Yang Guangdao.

"Chongzhi, have you ever thought about it, there is such a blatant secret order, claiming to assassinate this king? I expect that this is the opponent's suspicious army, deliberately spreading news, intending to cause panic in various parts of the Jiangnan and demonstrate to the imperial court, so you don't need to care too much. Moreover, even if they really want to send someone to assassinate them, they must be top masters such as Xiao Rushui and Zhang Zhongjian, and this king has nowhere to look for them, but they have sent them to the door themselves, so wouldn't they take the opportunity to capture them, saving a lot of trouble? Yang Guanghun replied nonchalantly.

"Having said that, after all, the prince is a daughter, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. Please forgive the presumptuousness, can you consider using a stand-in to replace the prince to go to Jiankang and lure the opponent to come and assassinate? Pei Yun blinked and said for Yang Guang.

"A few days ago, Master Zhiqi proposed to this king that he would go to Jiankang to mourn Master Jingxu. This king has already agreed to him, and at the same time, I also want to invite him to participate in the memorial of the Xie sages, stabilize people's hearts, and rush to it, what kind of stand-in can replace this king to preside over such a grand ceremony to commemorate the Xie sages? Although Yang Guang had a smile on his face, his tone was a little heavier, and he asked Pei Yunnuo repeatedly, and he didn't dare to say half a word.

"That's it, then you and Liang Mo will be deployed as much as they want, and it's best to make the guards along the way from Guangling to Jiankang watertight, I want to see how they came to assassinate this king!" Yang Guang also knew that Pei Yun was thinking about his own safety, so after thinking about it, he slowed down his tone and told him.

Master Zhiqi made a request to Yang Guang, asking him to forgive the mistakes made by his senior brother Dujing, and did not get a clear answer from Yang Guang for several days, because he thought that he was out looking for Dujing on the way to accidentally learn that his friend Jingxu Shitai died in Jiankang, and temporarily decided to go to Jiankang to see her off, but did not think about it but failed to catch up with Jingxu's funeral, but was persuaded by Li Jing and Wei Huang to come to Guangling to meet Yang Guang, at this time I didn't know if anything happened in Tiantai Temple during the time I went down the mountain, Senior brother Dujing had another catastrophe, so he was anxious to return to Tiantai Mountain, so he asked someone to bring a message to Yang Guang, asking him to allow him to go to Jiankang as soon as possible to mourn the Empress Dowager Jingxu, so that he could return to Tiantai Mountain as soon as possible.

After listening to Li Jing's introduction to Dujing's experience and conduct, Yang Guang decided to agree to Zhijing's request after repeated consideration, and agreed to pardon Dujing's past crimes on the condition that Zhiqi strictly restrain the monks in the temple headed by Dujing not to be instigated by others and oppose the imperial court in the future.

"The master may not have understood, just when the master went down the mountain to find Dujing, Dujing was not only entrusted by the robbers to hide the two women who were kidnapped from Dongjiao City near Tiantai Mountain, but also imprisoned General Li Jing, who I sent to Tiantai Mountain to invite the master to come to Guangling, to speak the law, in the cave for a month, if it weren't for the master of Duyu in your temple to come to the rescue, I am afraid that Dujing has made a big mistake at this time." After promising not to blame Du Jing for the past, Yang Guang informed Zhi Qi of the mistakes Du Jing had committed.

"Amitabha. Senior Brother Dujing was used by traitors and made a big mistake, and the poor monk, as the abbot of Tiantai Temple, should bear all the responsibility, and ask the prince to take heavy responsibility. Zhiqi seemed to have expected Dujing to make such a mistake, clasped his palms together, and calmly begged Yang Guang to deal with himself.

"Masters don't have to be on behalf of others." Yang Guang waved his hand and said, "Since Xiao Wang has agreed to what the master invited the day before yesterday, he will never go back on his word, and he will not investigate anything in the past, but he must also remind the master that in the future, he must warn Master Dujing, and he must no longer be encouraged by Xiao Rushui and others to become enemies of the imperial court." ”

"The lesson of the prince is that the poor monk will say goodbye to the prince, immediately set off to rush back to Tiantai Mountain, strictly restrain the monks in the temple, devote themselves to the Buddha, and never be encouraged by others again." Zhi Qian did not mention Yang Guang's intention to hold a thousand monks meeting in Guangling when they first met, and took advantage of the situation to resign to Yang Advertising.

Yang Guangqing knew that Zhiqian was in a hurry to leave Guangling, and he hinted to himself that he did not plan to participate in the Thousand Monks Meeting held by him, so he deliberately reminded Zhiqing: "The master came north this time, didn't he want to go to Jiankang to mourn the monk Jingxu Shitai?" It just so happened that Xiao Wang got a report the day before yesterday, Xiao Wang ordered people to rebuild the Xie clan ancestral hall in Jiangshan on the outskirts of Jiankang is about to be completed, Xiao Wang will also go to Jiankang to preside over the memorial to the Xie sages, can the master go with Xiao Wang, by the way, please also go to the Xie clan ancestral hall in Jiangshan to pay tribute to the Xie sages. ”

The Xie clan is not only the four famous families of the Hakka clan in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the sages Xie An, Xie Xuan and others in the clan are deeply loved and respected by the people of Jiangnan, and enjoy a high reputation among the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
