Chapter 437: The Monk and the Emperor (3)

Xiahoulan!

When Dong heard this name, his body tensed all of a sudden. /。 īŊ‘bīŧ•、cīŊm//

Ever since he learned about Xiahoulan's death and listened to Jia Xu's speculation, Dong has always kept it in his heart...... It was a person he didn't want to think about, and it was the last thing he wanted to hear. In his selfish heart, Dong would rather believe that Xia Houlan committed suicide rather than killing him.

But I didn't expect to meet Xiahoulan's slave in this Great Grace Buddha Temple.

At the moment when Xiahou Man appeared, Dong clearly saw that the monk's face turned pale all of a sudden, and there was no blood.

Looking at Xia Houman's appearance, he should have suffered.

It stands to reason that if Xiahoulan really committed suicide, with his relationship with Tucheng and others, why did the Great Grace Buddha Temple treat Xiahoulan's people like this? Could it be that there is really a conspiracy in this that he is unwilling to face and does not want to face?

Glancing at the monk, Dong Shen said, "Escort this guy back to the mansion...... Don't talk yet, I'll ask when I get back. ”

Xia Houman is a tough guy, although he is seriously injured, but he pushes away the trolls and is unwilling to be helped.

Dong nodded secretly and turned over on his horse.

"My lord, outside the mountain gate, there is Chang'an Ling leading the guards to block it."

"Guards?"

This is a name that Dong has never heard of, and he can't help but be stunned, "What is Weijun?" Why did the Chang'an Order stop me? ”

While asking, Dong Ce horse went out of the mountain gate. Outside the mountain gate, there were about 800 soldiers, fully armed Hou Li. The leader was a scribe, about forty years old, born with a personable demeanor and an extraordinary appearance. Seeing Dong Zema come out, the scribe stepped forward. blocked Dong's way.

"Chang'an Ling Liu Xian, I've seen the Metropolitan Governor!"

I don't know this person, huh? And in Dong's memory, Chang'an Ling has another person, and it is by no means the scribe named Liu Xian in front of him.

However, people are polite, and he is not good at putting on a score.

Dismounted, and asked in a deep voice, "Liu Xian, why are you here?" And blocking my way? ”

"Xia Guan heard that someone was killing people in the Da'en Buddha Temple, so he came to check."

Dong narrowed his eyes. The two horizontal eyebrows were connected. I heard that someone killed people at the Daeun Buddha Temple, so come and have a look? Just look, can you bring so many people and horses? Moreover, Dong believes that now everyone in Chang'an City may already know the news of his return.

This Chang'an Order. It's not easy!

"I heard that in the Great Grace Buddha Temple, there are evil cultists who preach and imitate the Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao. That's why I came to ...... The murderer you speak of is me! ”

Dong looked indifferent and replied in a deep voice.

Liu Xian showed a dumb expression, "So that's ......"

Suddenly, his face changed color, and he shouted: "Liu Xian is the Chang'an Order, according to the Han law, all affairs in Chang'an City are handled by lower officials." Regardless of whether the Da'en Buddha Temple is following the Taiping Dao cult or not, the Metropolitan Governor should first notify the lower officials. Then it will be disposed of by the lower officials. However, the Metropolitan Governor handled the matter without authorization, and even went on a killing spree in this holy place of Buddhism...... If the law does not allow it, please let the governor go with his subordinates. ”

Ha......

Dong couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

It's a strange thing every year. This year is a lot!

I've only been away from Chang'an for two years, and I don't want to have such a superb product in Chang'an City?

Dong took off his helmet, but heard an uproar all around. He said coldly: "If I don't go back with you, what will you do?" ”

"So. Don't blame the subordinate for offending! ”

Liu spoke first. Hands up. The soldier behind him suddenly stepped forward, and the spears flashed with cold light. Yao pointed at Dong.

"Bold!"

Han Demengtan roared angrily, and the two hundred trolls rushed in front of Dong, and pulled out the Han'an knife, the sword flashed and was murderous.

In an instant, outside the gate of this Great Grace Buddha Temple, there was silence.

Liu Xian shouted: "Most of the governors obey the Han law one by one, but now it is difficult to be an official, how can they make the people of the world submit?" ”

This sentence is asked very cleverly, implying murder.

You must know that if Liu Xian is not talking about the people of the world, but the heroes of the world, then he can say that the earth is over. Dong is famous for his bravery, and it is normal for heroes in the world to be respected. But this person covers the people of the world, if Dong answers wrongly, then the problem will be great......

Fortunately, Dong is no longer a rookie who just arrived in Luoyang from Liangzhou.

Although his temperament has not changed much, the five or six years of training in Luoyang have made him extra careful.

Immediately heard Liu Xian's words, and sneered: "I didn't think about making the people of the world surrender. The only people in the world surrender to the saint today, I am just a saint's courtier, dare to say that the people of the world will surrender? Lord Liu, you think too highly of me. ”

However, although it can counter Liu Xiandi's language disease, it cannot refute the law in Liu Xian's mouth.

Fa Zheng seems to have been negligent!

It seems that this Chang'an Ling Liu Xian is not a simple character.

Fa Zheng said that in the past year, many people have come to Chang'an, and there are not many Han clan relatives. Some of them were appointed as officials, and Liu Xian must have been one of them. But why didn't anyone inform him, not even warn him?

Was it a dereliction of duty, or was there something else?

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Dong's mind.

Then he sneered in his heart: No matter what you are, I want to see what kind of tricks you can play.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the bell rang for the horses, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, coming from far and near. A team of cavalry soldiers turned into Jinchangfang from Qixiamen Street, led by two female generals, who were born as beautiful as flowers, but they were pink and frosty, and there were more than 100 female soldiers behind the two of them.

It was Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang.

The distance is still far away, Dong Lu shouted: "Whoever dares to touch my father-in-law, ask the big gun in my hand first." ”

Mo underestimated these female soldiers, everyone in Chang'an knew that there were all elite soldiers hidden in the Dong Mansion. Even those slaves with remnants can be ten for one. As for the female soldiers of the Dong Mansion. Originated from the Luanwei battalion, it is the first batch of Luanwei female soldiers, and has experienced the bloody battle on the bank of Yongshui.

These female soldiers don't come out on weekdays.

But once you make a move, it's absolutely merciless.

All soft-armored spears, although there are only more than a hundred horsemen, they are not inferior to those guards. In an instant, they arrived outside the mountain gate.

Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang were originally accompanying Cai Yan and Huang Yueying to the outskirts of Chang'an today to see the scenery of Baqiao.

After Dong Shuo's accident. Li Kui was ordered to come and report the news. Although Dong Shuo is Cai Yandi's son, in the eyes of Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang, there is no difference. Hearing that Dong Shuo was injured, Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang were furious. After returning home, he immediately ordered his troops and horses and killed the generals.

As soon as the female soldiers appeared. It makes the already tense atmosphere even stronger.

Dong suddenly smiled......

"Lu'er, Hongchang. No rudeness...... Lord Liu is right, righteous people must first correct themselves. I am a metropolitan governor, but I cannot break the law. Lord Liu, I will go to the government with you. Hehe, it's just that these parts of my land are just watching the excitement, and they have nothing to do with this matter. ”

"No, sir...... Everybody has a share! ”

The monk suddenly spoke, which made Liu Xian stunned, "Metropolitan Governor, who is this?" ”

"Oh. It's just a cultist in the Great Grace Buddha Temple, and I'm about to take it back for interrogation. ”

"Since they are evil people, they should be dealt with by their subordinates. Please also hand over this evil man to the lower officials. Bring it back to the government for interrogation. ”

In Dong's heart, murderous machines surged.

Liu Xian stiffened his neck, stared at Dong, and did not back down.

After a long time, Dong laughed three times. "Since the Lord said this. I will hand this evil man over to your lords. However, if there is a business pool. Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"This is a matter for the lower officials, so the governor should follow me back to the yamen first."

As he was saying this, the sound of horses' hooves was heard again in the distance.

A middle-aged Huangmen rushed over, jumped off the horse, held a roll of brocade silk in his hand, and said loudly: "The emperor has an order, please go to see the driver as soon as possible." ”

What a lively day!

Dong hurriedly replied: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Liu Xian and turned over on his horse.

"Go home first!"

seemed to be explaining to Dong Lu and the others, but the corner of his eye swept Dong Tie. Dong Tie understood and nodded lightly.

In the past, he knocked the monk unconscious with a punch, threw it in front of Liu Xiandi, and said coldly: "Lord Liu, the person has been handed over, please take care." ”

After speaking, he surrounded Dong Lu and Ren Hongchang, covered Xiahou Man in it, and walked towards the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

"As soon as the Metropolitan Governor went out today, someone saw it...... When the emperor heard that the governor had returned, he was very happy. ”

Happy?

I'm afraid it's not likely.

Dong no longer asked, but thought about the current situation in Chang'an.

It seems that in the past two years, Chang'an has indeed changed a lot...... A bunch of people who don't know how to live or die, want to jump out?

Ha, that's great, but let's see what tricks they can play.

Dong was not worried at all in his heart.

He believes that no matter how Chang'an changes, it will always be in his hands. Because in his hands, there is still a trump card.

Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty visited Buddha in Bailiangtai.

Speaking of this Bailiang Terrace, it has a history.

It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty was a good immortal, built the Bailiang platform, there are copper pillars, 20 zhang high, big seven surrounds, there are immortal piers to bear the dew, called the dew plate. Take rootless water and jade shavings and drink it afterwards to live forever...... The bronze pillar of Bailiang is the symbol of Bailiang Terrace.

Interestingly, Liu Bian, as a descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is not a good immortal.

He didn't drink any rootless water, but he chose Bailiangtai as the place where he visited Buddhism. Maybe here, you can really communicate with the gods.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the 105th chapter mentioned this Bailiangtai bronze pillar.

Emperor Wei Ming ordered someone to demolish the bronze pillar of the Bailiang platform and take away the Chenglu plate...... I wonder if the bronze pillar of this Bailiang platform in this world can be preserved?

Dong walked into Bailiang Taizhong and saw that this palace was like a Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Directly facing the gate, there is a statue of Buddha. Liu Bian's back to Dong sat down in front of the Buddha statue. He was reciting the scriptures in a hurry.

Except for Liu Yan, there was no one else in the palace.

Dong stood quietly at the gate of the palace, looking at Liu Yan's thin back, but he couldn't help but feel indescribable emotion in his heart.

If it weren't for him, Liu Benxu would have died a long time ago!

In Dong Di's mind, the first time he saw Liu Di, the situation of time and place, and all the things he had experienced in the past for a while came to mind.

Liu Yan stopped chanting and slowly stood up. Turn around.

I haven't seen him for two years, and Liu Zhidi has a taste that is difficult to describe in words. Dong said that it was not good, what it was like.

Is the treasure solemn?

Maybe......

However, today's Liu Bian has a calm bearing and has the demeanor of a high-ranking monk.

"Dong Qing, you're here!"

"Minister, Dong. Knock to see the emperor. ”

Liu Wei stopped Dong and said softly: "Dong Qing, why do you want to be like this with me? I thought it would. You're coming back in two days, I didn't expect ......."

The tone was as soft as it was back then, and there was a bit of a timid taste.

Dong replied: "The minister has been back for a few days, but he just thought that he had not been reunited with his family for a long time, so he kept quiet, and asked the emperor for forgiveness." ”

"What is the common feeling of human beings?"

Liu Zhidi's tone was very ethereal, and he felt a little unreal.

"Dong Qing, I heard...... Did you kill someone today? ”

"Yes!"

Dong immediately told the reason for the matter. found that Liu Yan's expression looked very stunned.

"Is there such a thing?"

Liu Wei said softly: "I have only heard that there are good laymen who have paid for the construction of Buddhist temples. But I didn't expect it...... Dong Qing, I said that I didn't know about this, do you believe it? ”

Dong replied without hesitation: "I believe it." ”

Liu Zhidi's face. A happy smile floated, "The matter of the Great Grace Buddha Temple, they are to blame. Indeed, they are trying to clear them...... I only agreed to build Qingliang Temple, and other Buddhist temples have nothing to do with me...... Dong Qing. Actually, the Dharma ...... It's still good. ”

"The minister knows!"

"This time the matter of the Great Grace Buddha Temple. It gave me a wake-up call. At that time, the emperor once set up the White Horse Temple as the management body of the world's Buddhists, but it began in the third year of Yongchu. The White Horse Temple exists in name only. Dharma...... It's not Taipingdao, but there is a reason for his existence. Dong Qing, I would like to ask you to set up an organization like the White Horse Temple back then to manage the world's Buddhists. I don't know if Dong Qing is willing to accept it? ”

Dong didn't know what Liu Fan's idea was.

He bowed down and said, "The minister should do his best." ”

"That's it...... Also, Dong Qing, when you were not in Chang'an, many clans came to defect. I chose to arrange some people, hoping not to disrupt Dong Qing's arrangement. ”

"Naturally not!"

The two stopped talking and fell silent.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became very strange......

After a long time, Liu Wei said softly: "Dong Qing, do you know? In fact, I miss very much the days when I was in Luoyang and Linjing. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Wei smiled, "At least at that time, I and Dong Qing were very close...... Unlike now, we always seem to guard against each other. I am not intelligent, and I am rarely talked to when I am young...... Although the queen mother loves me, she ...... Dong Qing, do you know that in my heart, I always treat Dong Qing as a brother. Dong Qing, you also protect me like a brother...... At that time, it was very open

Dong didn't know how to answer.

"Since visiting Buddhism in Bailiangtai, I finally understand why Emperor Wu likes immortals. Not just for the sake of immortality, this world is disturbed, people are intrigued, and they are deceitful. With the gods as sustenance, it must also be for the peace of mind. ”

After these words, Dong had to get to know Liu Bian again!

Is this really the cowardly and mediocre emperor? Suddenly, if he is a monk, suddenly if he is wise...... Which one is he?

"Actually, I came to Dong Qing to come over today, just to talk. As soon as Xiahou left, I was beside me...... Not even a person to talk to! ”

When Liu Wei said this, he smiled suddenly, "If Dong Qing is okay in the future, come to Bailiang Terrace and talk with me." Just like when I was in Linjing...... In addition, in a few days, it will be the birthday of my emperor's brother's association, so please ask Dong Qing to send a gift on my behalf. ”

"Minister, obey!"

The way Liu Wei speaks now is like a whimsical one.

Dong only felt that he was frightened, and he couldn't keep up with Liu Zhidi's train of thought.

Moments later, Dong resigned and left.

At the moment when he left the gate of the main hall, he heard Liu Bian's soft whisper: "Beidou pours fine wine, persuade the dragons to take a look...... Dong Qing, if you are persuaded by Beidou, is it me? ”

Dong's heart couldn't help but tremble.

The extended meaning of this sentence is to say: Dong Qing, can you still treat me as the person you cared for and protected back then?

Turning around, Dong Yi fell to the ground and said softly: "Long live forever!" ”

This sentence, twelve years ago, in the Yong'an Palace in Luoyang, Dong once said to Liu Bian. What he said that day was: Never live up to the king. And today, King Hongnong has become the Son of Heaven. At this moment, Dong really made up his mind.

With that, he strode away.

At the moment when he stepped out of the palace gate of the main hall, Liu Bian's quiet words sounded in his ears: "Dong Qing, I ...... will never live up to Dong Qing. ”
