Chapter 294: The Secret of the Young Slave
The generation of monks is the famous Tang monk Tang Erzang, who did not choke from the sky. It's already a little famous, but it hasn't attracted the attention of tens of thousands of people as described in the TV series, in fact, his fame, in Changsu at that time, was limited to debate, and in terms of translating Buddhist scriptures, although he has contributed, but it has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it.
And he is not the royal brother of the Tang King, and Li Shimin has never bowed to him. Later generations said in "Journey to the West" that Li Shimin admired Buddhism, which was a compliment to the feudal emperor and a good wish. In fact, even if Li Shimin pays attention to Buddhism, he is only making a gesture, which is to serve politics and is a kind of imperial technique!
If Li Shimin believes in Buddhism, he believes to the extent of his obsession with Xuan Wan, believes that sweeping the floor will not hurt the lives of ants, and cherishes the moth yarn lamp. Then it would be impossible for him to kill his brother and brother. forced himself to abdicate.
The right thing for him to do is to sit at home. Recite Amitabha Buddha and wait for someone else to kill him!
Even if Tang Xuanban came back from the moat, Li Shimin persuaded him, don't be a monk, come to the joint minister, let's govern the country together. Serve the imperial court and govern the country, and you can get glory and wealth. It's not much better than being a monk!
Therefore, at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, when Tang Xuanwan asked him to travel west to learn scriptures, he didn't take it seriously at all, let alone agree. What is absolutely certain is that Tang Xuanzhi did not go to the West Heaven to seek the true scriptures under his ardent expectations.
The truth of history is sharp, Tang Xuanji secretly ran out of the gate, and he went to the moat without any documents, in modern terms, he smuggled in the past!
Li Shimin was reminded by ministers and eunuchs. It was hard to remember, ten or twenty years ago. Chang'an does have such a monk, and his mouth is quite able to speak. He said: "This Xuanji pretended to be my envoy of the Tang Dynasty to envoy to the heavenly moat? Did the king of the moat really believe it? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said arrogantly: "My Tang Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, the lord of all nations, even if it is a fake envoy Xiaoxiaoyi, he has to be treated as a guest, and the king of the heavenly trench believes in him." It's normal to look at the old minister! ”
The ministers, yes, even if it is our little monk Cao Tong of the Tang Dynasty, when he arrives in the Fanbang Barbarian Kingdom, he will immediately be promoted to become a great monk at the level of a Zen master!
Li Shimin flipped through the text again: "It says that he was detained, and that the person who detained him was a descendant of King Gaochang, when we destroyed Gaochang." Didn't all the people in the Gaochang royal family be captured, how could there be descendants? ”
Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Xiong Ran can pretend to be a messenger of the Tang Dynasty to go to the moat, then someone will pretend to be a descendant of King Gaochang and improve his own figure, it is estimated that he is a bandit leader in the desert, boasting that he is the Gaochang royal family, and then used to recruit little minions!" ”
Li Shimin. said more, and put the text: "But he dared to ask my Datang for a ransom of 800 yuan, asking us to redeem the Xuan monk, saying that the Datang envoy is worth this price!" This is simply unreasonable, and it is ridiculous! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's ridiculous, it's just inexplicable!" ”
Wei Chigong and other generals said: "Don't say eight hundred; Not even Yakyo. It is simply crazy to dare to ask us for ransom, we should immediately send troops to suppress the bandits, behead these robbers, and show them to the public, pass on the heads and subordinates, and those who dare to oppose my Tang Dynasty court, except for being in a different place. There is no second end! ”
The famous Tang Xuanji was detained, and the other party only needed 800 yuan, for Wang Ping'an, it was simply unimaginable, it was too little, if you wanted such a little money, wouldn't you look down on Master Xuanmo!
But for the robbers in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, it is not surprising to grab goods worth 800 yuan, but if they can get 800 yuan in cash, it will be astronomical!
The copper coins of the Tang Dynasty, which was the hardest currency in the entire world at that time, were going to the West. None of them can be used for spending, but for collection, and a copper plate is worth more than a piece of gold of the same size. Is copper worth more than gold? But in the West at that time, the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty were worth more than gold, and they couldn't accept it!
Li Shimin said: "The guards of Yumen Pass, to exterminate this gang of bandits, it is inevitable to make a big fuss, just order the magistrate to dispatch county soldiers, where is the nearest state and county to Gaochang?" Ah, before he finished speaking, he remembered which state it was.
The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed slightly, the emperor's question could not be answered, but he was really a little reluctant to answer, because the highest magistrate of that county, he liked it very much!
Fang Xuanling said: "It's Zheliu County." It is the place that the emperor just gave Wang Ping'an, but the magistrate of Zheliu County "This, this is not very effective, it is impossible to send troops to suppress bandits!" ”
How bad is the security in Zheliu County? As bad as it is, bandits are everywhere. The robber who claimed to be a descendant of the Gaochang royal family was just a messenger who detained the Tang Dynasty, and the robbers in Zheliu County simply killed the court officials, and the county ordered them to die one by one. There is no county order there now, but it is managed by the guards of Yumen Pass, but the strength of the concurrent management is not large, and there is no way to effectively control the local forces there!
Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case." Think about it, will there be Turkic support behind that gang of robbers?
The ministers shook their heads together, but after a slight pause, another head.
If there are really Turkic people as backers, then it is impossible to deduct the wrong messenger, Gaochang people believe in Buddhism. It is believed that the status of the monk is high and he can be an envoy, but the Turks will not think so, and if the Turks really want to put forward conditions, it is impossible for them to only need 800 yuan, they will directly make territorial claims!
When the emperor asked this, it was obvious that it didn't matter if this matter was done by the Turks, it would not be enough to be planted by the Turks!
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, if it is found that it is the Turks who have detained the monk and detained the Xuan master, then my Datang must send troops to conquer the Turks." No toleration! ”
Cheng Zhijie jumped up and shouted: "If you want to go to war, the old minister is willing to go, kill one of the Turkic thieves, and turn over on his back!" ”
Li Shimin Dan's finger tapped the dragon lightly: "Conquer the Turks, it's not too late to discuss it slowly, this Xuan Award "Master, even if he is a messenger sent by the Union."
The ministers had a sudden expression on their faces, and nodded one after another: "The old ministers have all remembered that there is indeed such a thing. It's just that time has passed too long. I didn't remember it in time. The Master of Forbidden Arts. Isn't it the envoy you sent to the heavenly moat, Your Majesty?"
Li Shimin smiled and said: "Speaking of Lian, I remembered Wang Ping'an, he is the most Zhejiang." But there is good news that the summer is going to autumn, and his dialectic has taken a lot of time! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The words of the Emperor Ming." Recently, there has been no good news, but there is no bad news, which shows that the dialectics is going smoothly, and the emperor can relax, I believe that it will not be long before there will be good news! ”
Shek Hang Village.
Another few days passed, the weather gradually cooled, and people began to change out of their single clothes and put on jackets.
The scholars and subordinates that Wang Ping'an took care of. There were no accidents, and their condition was gradually improving, which means that smallpox can be prevented after the pox, if not for the complete data and large-scale promotion. Then now it's time to draw the final conclusion!
Everyone in the village is happy, they participated in this dialectic, not only can save the people of the world, but also what they want to get, after the dialectic, they can also get, which is a good thing for others and themselves!
But Wang Ping'an was not very happy, he knew that there would be such a result, but the problem was that there was an accident in the original foolproof result. That little slave didn't react at all, this has to be clarified, otherwise when it is promoted, this will be a stain, and there will be accidents on the surface!
But no matter how much he took care of the little slave and how much he cared for him, he just couldn't find out why this little guy was an "accident"!
It was not only Wang Ping'an who cared about the little slaves, but also other imperial doctors, except for them. There is one more person, and that is Brother Jun!
Brother Jun really wants to help Wang Ping'an, but Wang Ping'an's identity is there, he is a small person, how can it be his turn to be courteous to Wang Ping'an. Finally learned what Wang Ping'an was bothered about, how could he let go of the opportunity, he was secretly spying on the little slave every day.
Jun Ge'er used to be a scout, and his ability to find out the news is really good, he is peeping in the dark, don't say that the little slave didn't show him, even Wang Ping'an and the imperial doctors who came in and out every day didn't show him!
On this day, after nightfall, Brother Jun sneaked into the village, came to the house where the little slave lived, and lightly came to the window, followed the crack in the window, and looked inside for the poison.
The little slave did not live alone, but had a physician who took turns to sleep with him at night, so that he could observe the movement nearby. Accompanying him tonight was an old lady.
Brother Jun suddenly smelled the smell of meat, looked at the windowsill inside, and saw a plate of leftover vegetables on the windowsill, and there was a half-gnawed goose wing on the plate.
He thought to himself, "This little guy eats better than me, if only he would have eaten me goose every day." With such a wing, I'm sure I won't have a scrap of meat left! Swallowing his saliva, he slowly shrank under the window, and on his stomach, he came to the corner, turned over the wall, and entered the grove.
Through the observation of the past few days, he has a pattern. The little slave had a habit of waking up at night, and he did not like to be in the yard for convenience, but went into the woods, and muttered something as he could. The first few times he was too far away to get closer, so he couldn't hear what the little slave was muttering, and tonight he decided to take advantage of the terrain first, and he had to find out what the hell that guy was talking to himself.
The old lady is old, she naps as soon as it gets dark, she is dazed, although she can't sleep honestly, but she keeps her eyes closed and confused, and she can't stop chirping.
The little slave tossed and turned on the bed. He just couldn't sleep, so he tossed for half the night, and it was almost midnight when he got up and went down to the ground and put on his shoes. The door was opened.
As soon as the door creaked, the old lady woke up and asked, "Why are you going?" ”
The little slave said: The villain wants to go to the thatched house. ”
The old lady snorted. He turned over on the bed and said, "Go and come back." ”
The little slave said yes and went out of the house. Closing the door, he didn't go to the thatched house behind the courtyard. And walked out of the courtyard and entered the grove, which was the same as what Brother Jun observed a few days ago.
Brother Jun hid in a big tree, closed his eyes and recuperated, he was a scout, he knew the importance of patience, not to mention waiting on the tree for half a night, even if it was lying in the grass for a day and a night, he had done this kind of thing!
There was a rustling sound in the distance, someone was coming!
Brother Jun immediately opened his eyes, looked down, and saw the little slave walking slowly with his head down. He held his breath, afraid that the little slave would appear to him. Coincidentally, a big mosquito is quite good at finding the time, but at this time it bites his neck!
Brother Jun didn't dare to move, and let the mosquitoes bite him. His eyes narrowed, and he stared at the slave!
The little slave didn't expect that he, a little slave, would be stared at, and from a tree. According to the habits he had developed these days, he came to a big tree without guard, that is, the big tree where Brother Jun was hiding.
The little slave crouched down and picked up a stone. With a smile on his face, he slammed the stone on the root of the tree, and began to mumble. It's very quiet!
Brother Jun pricked up his ears and listened carefully!
I heard the little slave say, "I used to herd cattle. If you have cowpox, cowpox can't hurt me, cowpox can't hurt me! I want to buy land, I want to buy cattle, I want to build a big house. I want to marry the second girl of the Tian family
Brother Jun listened, and almost didn't fall off the tree. No wonder Wang Ping'an worked so hard to verify. But I still can't find the reason, it turned out that this little guy had cowpox, so what else is he used to discriminate? Use him as a witness. Nothing will come of it!
After the little slave finished speaking, he stood up, poured a soak of urine on the roots of the tree, lifted his pants after peeing, and whispered: "It's over, it's done, it's comfortable!" ”
For someone who has to keep a secret. Even if you are an adult, the psychological pressure is also very great, and you often find a place where no one is around, or tell your secrets to strangers who have no chance to sell you, which is also one of the jobs of psychologists to guide patients to speak. Adults are like this, not to mention this little child, he doesn't understand what pressure is, but he understands that as long as he tells his secret to the big tree root every night, and then soaks in pee, he will be much more comfortable, after he goes back. I can sleep soundly, too!
The little slave was about to leave, when he heard a soft snap in the tree, and when he looked up, he saw a ghost-like human head peeking out of the tree!
