Chapter 37: A Good Show in the Court (Part II)

As soon as the sound of the gong of the fifth watch day fell, the two vermilion lacquer doors of the open door slowly opened, and the envoy stood still in the doorway, and shouted loudly at the three or four hundred nobles and courtiers who entered the palace to participate in the funeral outside the door: "In the holy order, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, Yang Jun, the king of Qin, Yang Xiu, the king of Yue, Yang Liang, the king of Han, and a cadre went to the Linguang Hall to see Jin, and mourned for the prince of Jieguo.

The hundreds of nobles and courtiers standing behind the four Yang Guang brothers listened to this edict and understood in their hearts that from now on, the four young princes standing in front of them would also participate in the affairs of the imperial court.

Yang Guang and other four brothers led a group of people to climb the high steps and walked into the Linguang Palace, but saw that the hall was surrounded by white curtains, and a person sat on the throne in the center: wearing a white gauze balance crown, wearing an ochre yellow robe, and a thirteen-ring jade belt around the waist. Behind him stood a big man with a sword hanging from his waist, staring at the crowd slowly walking into the Linguang Palace.

The crown prince Yang Yong stood on the steps of Danxi, and saw that the four princes and princes were the leaders, and everyone stood in line in the palace, turned around and bowed to Yang Jian in the throne and said: "Enlighten the father, the ministers have all arrived, please ask the father to issue an order to mourn for the prince of the country." ”

Yang Jian slowly stood up, walked down the Danxi with a solemn expression, and personally helped a fat monk sitting under the Danxi to stand in the center of the Danxi, while he and Yang Yong turned around and got off the Danxi, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Please Master Huizhen cast a spell for Jiegong to summon spirits." ”

Monk Huizhen clasped his palms in front of his chest, closed his eyes tightly, and muttered in his mouth, as if he was reciting Buddhist scriptures to explain the soul of the dead for Yuwen. For a while, the hall was silent, and everyone silently mourned the last emperor of the former dynasty who lived in the world for less than eight years in the chanting of the monk Huizhen.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew outside the hall, causing the corners of the clothes and robes of everyone in the hall to rattle, and in an instant, the light in the hall became dim. Yang Guang was stunned by this sudden change in the sky, and thought to himself: Could it be that this monk really has the power to call the wind and the rain?

But when the strange wind rose, the monk opened his eyes sharply, and the light in his eyes burst out, and he raised two fingers of his left hand, pointed to the south, and shouted loudly: "Bold and evil, don't go quickly!" ”

I saw that where his fingers were raised, a blue flame ignited on the ground, and it was extinguished in a flash.

Strange to say, as the flames between Huizhen's fingers flickered and extinguished, the strange wind disappeared, and the light in the hall became brighter.

Monk Huizhen recited the Buddha's name aloud: "Amitabha." With his palms together, he reported to Yang Jianyu: "Your Majesty, seven days ago, Lao Qu led thirty-six disciples to enter the Hongsheng Palace to cast spells, and he had already locked the path of the demon, and he didn't want the demon to have great powers, so he broke free from the confinement, and wanted to take advantage of today's court to mourn, and came to rob the undead. ”

Yang Jian looked pious, raised his head and asked the monk Huizhen: "Dare to ask the master, where does the demon come from?" ”

Monk Huizhen pointed to the southeast direction and gently spit out two words: "Jiangzuo." ”

Yang Guang was first shocked into a cold sweat by the sudden strange wind, and when he saw the fire burning at Huizhen's fingertips with his own eyes, he had stabilized his mind, and secretly thought in his heart: I remember that at the beginning of the TV series "Water Margin", Gongsun Sheng of Yunlong pointed out the trick of igniting fire at his fingertips, tricked Song Jiang into joining the gang, and robbed the Birthday Gang, but Song Jiang saw through it on the spot, Gongsun Sheng's fingertips were coated with white phosphorus, and they caught fire when they encountered the wind. But I didn't expect that this monk of the Sui Dynasty would dare to play such a trick in front of the emperor and the nobles and courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty.

What made him feel even more ridiculous was that his father in this life, Yang Jian, the dignified founding emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty, actually pretended to openly play a double reed with Hui Zhen, not only did he confirm the nonsense of demon killing, but also poured dirty water on Nan Chen, who was hostile to the Sui Dynasty.

"Rank in the Qing family, Master Huizhen has pointed out the way of the demon. Nan Chen, whether it is with the previous generation of the Northern Zhou, or with the current Great Sui, the soldiers have seen each other for many years, and have always been enemies of each other, not long after the envoys of Nan Chen visited Jieguo, Jieguo was harmed by demons, how painful! Yang Jian raised his hand to signal Monk Huizhen to step back and rest, stood up to the Danxi, faced everyone in the hall, and said in a sad tone.

"Swear to destroy Nan Chen, kill the demons, and hate Jiegong!" A middle-aged courtier with a short figure and a dark face stepped out of the front of the courtiers, raised his arms and shouted.

There is singing, there is harmony, this is really a good show of tacit understanding between monarchs and ministers! Yang Guang thought with a mocking heart.

There was a jagged response in the hall, obviously, a considerable number of people, like Yang Guang, had already seen that this was just a good show of interaction between monks and laymen, and cooperation between monarchs and ministers.

Yang Jian ignored these, took the three pillars of lighted incense from the hands of the prince Yang Yong, turned around and came to the Yuwen Ling seat set up on the right side of the hall, bowed down and bowed three times, respectfully inserted the three pillars of incense side by side in the incense burner in front of the spirit, then turned around, faced everyone, and said loudly: "I Da Sui Cheng Tian promised the fate, received Zen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, before the edict, regarded Jie Gong as my Great Sui guest, praise and worship no name, the seal is not played, today I led the Qing family to mourn in the court, for the Jie Gong to summon the soul, pointing to the heavens and swearing, on the mandate of heaven, under An Lishu, the north and the south are unifiedto show the prestige of my China. ”

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, sonorous and powerful, Yang Guang listened to it, and couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and with everyone swearing loudly: "The upper should be the mandate of heaven, the lower An Lishu, and the north and south will be unified to show the prestige of my China." ”

Then Yang Jian returned to the Danxi and sat down, headed by the crown prince Yang Yong, and the princes and ministers walked to the front of the Yuwen Ling Seat according to the train, bowed to the Ling Seat three times, and then exited the Linguang Hall in turn.

After Yang Guang and Yang Jun and other three younger brothers saluted Yu Wenyan's spiritual position, they walked out of the hall with the flow of people, while reminiscing about Fang Cai's funeral, and seemed to have an understanding of why his father Yang Jian wrote, directed, and acted in this scene.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Xie Yan has created two new dishes in the past few days, if His Royal Highness is willing to appreciate the light today, you might as well follow the old man to the 'south bank of the Yangtze River' for a taste."

Yang Guang turned his head when he heard the sound, and it turned out to be Shu Guogong Liu Yi squeezed through the crowd and came behind him.

"Thank you Duke Shu for the invitation, Xiao Wang has this intention." Yang Guang opened his eyes to look for Li Yuan's figure in the hall, and replied briskly.

Liu Yi walked past Yang Guang without stopping, lowered his voice and said, "The old man is waiting for the arrival of the prince," and hurriedly went out of the palace.

This old man is really strange, where can there be such an invitation! Yang Guangzheng was puzzled by Liu Yi's abnormal behavior, so he heard a bell-like voice behind him: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please stay." ”
