PS: It's all New Year's Eve friendship, the big guys come to vote and reward! )
Rainy night, Pushui riverbank.
Even in the daytime, you can't see anything in the heavy rain, even if you can't hear the sound clearly, let alone in the middle of the night, what is in the rain, and people who are a little farther away can't detect it. In the dark of night, a group of people, who did not have torches, walked to the riverbank, and it was surprising how they could still walk without getting lost in such a time of weather.
Touching the embankment, the group gradually stopped, and in a moment, a faint light of fire lit up, and this fire was very weak, and it was surrounded in the middle, and it was not visible from a hundred and ten paces away.
"Look, but here?" In the crowd, a shrill voice asked.
"Second master, don't worry, you can't be wrong." The man next to him said, "Although I can't see things in the dark, I've been to this place twice and have already marked it, and if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been able to get all the way here." ”
The man from before nodded, and asked again: "Steward Wei, have you ever found out that there are no people in a radius of dozens of miles?" ”
"Not a single one." The person next to him affirmed, "Pushui is hundreds of miles, just such a place, there is no human population within a radius of 100 miles, although there is a village, but the people in that village have already fled to escape, and there is no one left, there is only Tuntian nearby." The people who plough the fields are all unified people in the county, and there is no farming here in the past two days, and no one will come! ”
"In that case, dig it!" The voice composed of two contradictory timbres in the sharp middle said, "Dig hard for the second master!" Straight lady thief, with this heavy rain, no one expected that this thing was done by people, so hurry up! Dig it up and leave, lest you be washed away by the water! ”
There was a sound of promise, and then the crowd dispersed on the riverbank, and under the faint light of the fire, they began to dig at their feet. The voices of busy people and things are drowned in the sound of rain.
"Steward Wei, you keep an eye on it, don't dig through, beware of us washing away the water!" The man said again.
"Second master, rest assured."
After a few hours, the busy voices stopped. Immediately, the crowd withdrew with a roar and reached a hill in the distance.
"Why hasn't it sounded yet?" After a long time, in a shrill voice, he stared in the direction of the riverbank, although he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Soon, soon, don't worry." Next to humanity.
From time to time, there was a violent commotion on the riverbank.
"The levee has burst!"
…………………………
On that day, the temple was in court.
As usual, Li Congjing got up early, finished freshening up, and practiced martial arts in the courtyard.
Although it is the day of the dynasty, there is nothing to do with Li Congjing in the temple, he is just a magistrate, if he doesn't use his strategy, he is not qualified to go to the court.
Because of this, after breakfast, Li Congjing studied at home. After an hour, Li Congjing stepped on the sunshine and walked out of the mansion, led the horse, and headed towards Kaiyuan Temple.
When he went to Kaiyuan Temple today, he had two things. One is that the fax master of the monastery sent him an invitation a few days ago and asked him to go to Yixu. It is not surprising that the fax will find himself Li Congjing, who opened the temple that day and lost Huiming, which must have left an impression on the fax.
Another thing is that Ren made an appointment. Ren's will date himself, although Li Congjing is surprised, but he is not surprised - what is there to be surprised about a woman dating her lover.
With Li Siyuan and Cao's management, his marriage date with Ren was also set, considering that he came to Weizhou only for a temporary stay, and he would have to return to Huaizhou to take charge of the matter after not much delay, so the wedding date was also arranged not far away, just a few days later.
Walking on the road, being in the crowd, feeling the prosperity and tranquility of the city, Li Congjing knows that today's dynasty will definitely not be calm. The answer will be revealed today as to the outcome of his battle with the Wu family, and whether the Hundred Battles Army will fight against Wang Yanzhang and whether Guo Chongtao will serve as a privy envoy will also have results today.
The day before yesterday, he had a private meeting with Ren Yuan, and few people knew about it, because he did not come to visit, but waited for Ren Yuan on the way home. After the two met, they talked about something that was not very upright and gentlemanly. In addition, he also made an appointment with Jing Xinmo, the emperor's favorite minister, and what the two said had nothing to do with the way of a gentleman.
Today, although Li Congjing is not in the court, he can know the direction of the wind in the court at the first time.
On that day, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao said that they supported Zhang Juhan as a privy envoy, one side was the Wu family, and the other side did not say. The reason why he didn't say it was because that side was deeply entangled with him, and it was unexpected. Not surprisingly, if Zhang Juhan failed to be a privy envoy, he would definitely take over with those people.
After many days of layout, he had a showdown with Wu Jingzhong today, although he was not in the court, his hand was there. Bringing down Wu Jingzhong is because he has a grudge with Wu Jingzhong, and it is also for the sake of establishing his authority, so that the people who are jealous of him and want to make him stumble will shrink back.
Destroying Liang and fighting Wang Yanzhang is risky for Li Congjing, but he has to do it because the rewards are huge. Since he sat in Qimen, he has been cultivating his own power at night, and he is now a fledgling, which is the result of his overcoming challenges again and again.
He has a special status.
He Laozi is a person who can be an emperor, and as the eldest son, he is also a person who wants to be an emperor, but in the five generations when changing emperors is like watching flowers, the emperor itself is a high-risk profession, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a head-killing profession. He will naturally have many opponents in the future, and the contradictions are irreconcilable, because everyone wants to sit on the throne.
In today's Tang Dynasty, in addition to Li Cunxuan, there were originally six people who would be emperors. These six people, except for Li Siyuan, the remaining five people are Li Conghou, Li Congke, Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, and Guo Wei. Of these five people, Li Conghou is the son of Li Siyuan and the younger brother of Li Congjing, and the other four, except for Guo Wei, are now working under Li Siyuan.
Among the original five people, there was no Li Congjing, and in the history he was familiar with, "Li Congjing" died before Li Siyuan took the throne.
In this life, will he be able to live until the day when he will be allowed to succeed to the throne? How many days can he sit on the throne?
With Li Congjing's current strength, he can kill Guo Wei without much effort, and he can also kill Li Congke and Shi Jingjiao, but what about after that? Do you know if there will be Zhang Wei, Wang Congke, Li Jingjiao?
As long as he lives, this world will be hiss sooner or later; But if the world is to be hiss forever, he must have in his hand a sword that can kill everyone.
And this knife needs to be cast little by little.
Now, he's doing just that.
If someone doesn't want him to forge such a knife, and if they want to stop it, he can only drive them away. If he couldn't get rid of them, he had to kill them all.
Now, he's doing just that.
…………………………
Kaiyuan Temple, gazebo.
After the rain, the sun is just right, and the sun can be found in the gazebo.
A monk who has free time to bask in the sun must not be a "good monk", at least not a successful monk. Because a successful monk should be busy collecting money, doing mundane affairs, or lecturing on the scriptures at this time, while the "good monks" should study the scriptures.
Fax is a monk who has free time to bask in the sun.
"Spring is coming, summer is coming, and in a while, there will be no such just right sun, and now if you don't hurry up and bask in the sun, you have to wait until autumn." Fax, who was already so old that his hair was gray, squinted his eyes and put his wrinkled face in the sun, and let out such an exclamation.
Li Congjing, who was sitting across a stone table from him, smiled and said, "I thought the master would say that the warm sun is not in the heart, and if there is a warm day in the heart, there will be a warm day at all times, and if there is no warm sun in the heart, even if the sun is good overhead, it will not shine on people." ”
Fax sat back and laughed, "Isn't this!" ”
"? Isn't this the Dharma? Li Congjing was a little surprised.
Fax said hesitantly: "The donor knows that is not Buddhism? For example, the first paramita, that is, the non-first paramita, is the first paramita. The worldly Dharma is all the Dharma, and the worldly Dharma is not the Dharma, so where is the Dharma? There is Dharma everywhere, and Dharma is not anywhere, and is also Dharma! ”
Li Congjing put his hand on his forehead and said dumbly: "The master called me today, isn't it because he wants to talk to me about Buddhism?" ”
"You can't talk about the Dharma, and what you can talk about isn't the Dharma." Fax smiled, "Besides, what is there to talk about the Dharma, it's not interesting. Today, I asked the donor to come, I want to play a few games with the donor, I don't know if the donor is interested? ”
Li Congjing glanced at the sky, "The sun is just right, if you can play against the master for entertainment, why not do it?" ”
The stone table was the chessboard, and the fax called Shami to bring the chess pieces, which was played against Li Congjing.
Li Congjing didn't know what the fax idea was, so he asked himself to come, didn't say anything serious, talked about two sentences of Buddhism, and then started to play chess. However, Li Congjing would not believe it.
From time to time, a man in a green shirt came on foot, stood still outside the pavilion, and hugged his fist to Li Congjing and said: "Marshal, in the court, the envoy of the middle gate has handed over the fold to His Majesty, and he has counted Wu Jingzhong's ten major crimes!" ”
Li Congjing nodded "um" and waved his hand, the man in the green shirt hugged his fist and retreated, while Li Congjing played the same game as before.
The fax didn't speak, as if no one had come to talk to Li Congjing at all.
In the middle of the game, two women entered from the moon gate and walked towards the gazebo.
"Miss, Mr. Li is playing against the master!" The little maid pointed to the gazebo.
Ren naturally saw it, and said with a smile: "Since you have met, it is better to go and have a look." ”
"Okay, okay, just take a look, is Li Gongzi powerful, or the master is powerful!" The little maid is quite interested.
"Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, you and I are quieter, but don't disturb them." Ren told the little maid a word, walked over, and the two stood behind Li Congjing, looking at the chessboard.
"Ah, Li Gongzi is down, and he is going to lose!" The little maid couldn't hold back, exclaimed, and without waiting for Ren's reminder, she realized the gaffe and hurriedly covered her mouth.
The two people who played against each other didn't even look at them, but they were very focused.
The man in green shirt who had retreated earlier came again, still holding his fist at Li Congjing outside the pavilion, "Marshal Yu, Wu Jingzhong denies it, refuses to admit the ten major crimes, and is arguing!" ”
Li Congjing waved his hand, and the man stepped back as before.
