The ninth month of the lunar calendar is a dry season, and recently, there have been droughts in Shu one after another, and there have been countless starvations.

On September 7, this day, Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, drove to Qingcheng Mountain, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the honor guard entered the Shangqing Palace with the procession.

Meng Chang got out of the carriage and asked everyone to walk on foot, hoping to be happy, and the ministers of civil and military affairs on the left and right got out of the car in turn and followed behind Meng Chang.

Li Hao is on top of the officialdom all the year round, and he is full of fat, and this mountain road is simply torture for him, and he is sweating when he stops and goes.

And Wang Zhaoyuan smiled lightly at Li Hao on the side, hehe, let you suffer a little.

Li Hao caught a glimpse of Wang Zhaoyuan's smug eyes, and a nameless fire rose in his heart, but in front of so many people, he said a few words.

Finally, the group arrived in front of the Taoist temple one after another, and when they heard that the emperor was coming, a group of masters and apprentices in the Taoist temple waited here early and came out to greet them.

"There is no mediocre son in the poor road to see Your Majesty." Seeing Meng Chang walking into the Taoist temple, Wu Yongzi bowed his hand.

"Dao Chief, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng Chang looked at the quiet Taoist temple and the scenery of the mountains and rivers of Qingcheng Mountain, and couldn't help but praise Mrs. Hua Rui beside him: "Sanniang, Qingcheng is secluded in the world, and there is still drought outside this mountain, but there is no drought here at all. ”

Meng Chang is afraid of heat, so there is a saying.

"Meng Lang, you are going to make fun of the slave family." Madame Blossom twisted shyly and turned her head away.

"Haha."

"Haha, I want to go to Changdao Temple (Tianshi Cave) to pay homage to Fuxi, Shennong, and Yanhuang Emperors." Meng Chang said with a smile.

Later, hundreds of civil and military officials also followed.

Everyone stepped on the nine-step stone steps of the corridor in front of the hall. There is an ancient ginkgo tree about 50 meters high on the left side of the hall, which is said to be the hand-planted by Zhang Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking around, I saw six large stone columns arranged in front of the eaves. Heavy eaves flying, simple and magnificent. Come to the Sanqing Palace, where the Sanqing God is enshrined. The statue of the god was solemn and solemn, and everyone knelt down to worship it together.

After that, everyone went to the Heavenly Master Hall again. The building here is low in front and high in the back, low in the middle and high on the side, and the vertical and horizontal combination is connected into one. The top layer is the cave, there is the statue of Zhang Ling Tianshi carved in stone in the Sui Dynasty, the heavenly master of the Longhu Mountain in the past dynasties, after the selection of the Son of Heaven in all dynasties, people have to come here to worship.

Leaving the Heavenly Master Palace, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was still behind, and Meng Chang took Madame Hua Rui with great interest and came to the Three Emperors Palace. The hall enshrines one stone statue of Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan. At this moment, there are only two people in the hall, and the two of them kneel down, and then swear an oath from the mountains and seas, which is quite like the Tang Xuanzong Immortal Palace.

Mrs. Hua Rui inadvertently raised her phoenix eyes, only to see that there seemed to be water droplets on the eyes of those gods, as if tears, she told Meng Chang about this phenomenon, Meng Chang looked up and saw that there was a gap in the top of the hall, and Qingcheng Mountain was quiet and cool, and there were often dew drops condensed, perhaps through the gap to the palace, he also told Mrs. Hua Rui.

Madame Blossom nodded in response.

And at this time, there was a person who entered the hall, this person was not much older than Li Hao, and at this time, Meng Chang looked up and was very surprised to see it, "Xu Guangpu, why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty, remember me." Xu Guangpu laughed, and then said, "Back then, Yu was ill by Li Hao and others, and every time he discussed a meeting, he avoided it in his sleep, and the time name was 'sleeping phase'. ”

"I see, but now you're doing okay."

"It's okay, don't bother Your Majesty about it." After speaking, Xu Guangpu left the Three Emperors Palace.

"Your Majesty, Sanniangniang, you are walking so fast." Wang Zhaoyuan followed directly and shouted in a thick voice.

"Yo-you're here."

On this day, since Meng Chang arrived in the Taoist temple, the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs had to fast and bathe.

And Wuyongzi's side, An Deyu is reading books in the Taoist temple, he has been in the attic these days, reading the works of the former Heavenly Master Fax Heavenly Master Du Guangting (No. Dong Yingzi), these "Tao Te Zhen Jing Guang Shengyi", "Daomen Kefan Da Collection", "Guangcheng Collection", "Dongtian Blessed Land Yue Famous Mountain Record", "Qingcheng Mountain Record", "Wuyi Mountain Record", "West Lake Historic Site Facts", "The Biography of the Bearded Guest" and other works, he loves to read very much.

An Dongye was practicing with his head on the ground and his feet on the sky. Wu Yongzi closed his eyes to recuperate, and muttered in his mouth.

……

And in Chengdu Fuzhong, since the loss that night, Li Yan and the others were still unwilling, their men and horses suffered heavy losses, but Li Hao said before leaving Beijing not to act rashly, Li Yan is a brother's son, and Ma Ji also persuaded him bitterly.

It's just that......

Li Yan heard that Wang Zhaoyuan's mansion habitually raised a vicious dog named "Tibetan Mastiff", and he bit it when he saw a living person, so he came up with a bad move.

He ordered people to go to the palace at night, and at the same time ordered a group of warriors to go to the Chengdu palace to steal the account books of the relevant ordnance and equipment.

On the evening of the 7th, Li Yan sent three people, put on a night suit, and carried a bag on their backs, and the three of them climbed up the wall, crossed the high wall, and took advantage of the night to touch Wang Zhaoyuan's mansion.

The three of them had already memorized the layout of the palace on the way here, so they were familiar with the road, and soon arrived at the place where the Tibetan mastiff was held in the backyard, and one of them quickly took out a piece of meat from his backpack and threw it into the prison.

The "general" originally shouted when he saw the living, but when he saw the flying meat, he tore it in one mouthful, completely ignoring the people around him. A moment later, the "General" foamed at the mouth, convulsed and died.

Seeing that the vicious dog was dead, the three of them hurriedly smeared and sneaked into Wang Zhaoyuan's study attic to find the evidence that Li Hao wanted......

At this time, Wang Zhaoyuan's servants went to the study to patrol at this point every day. Wang Shouli happened to walk over, he probed the candle, and suddenly met three strong men, and wanted to shout, but he was choked by his mouth and nose, and the whole person was pressed under him, unable to move.

Not long after, Wang Shouli rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.

The three of them probed the man's mouth and nose and saw that there was no breath. At this moment, when one of them saw the young dead body, he had a lustful thought, stripped the little maid naked, put it on Wang Zhaoyuan's bed, and then took off his pants and molested the corpse. After a while, he covered the dead body with a quilt, and put the stripped clothes and pants in his rucksack.

The other two smiled, this person is such a quirk, and it is still the same at the critical moment, and then the three of them are in the study to look for evidence......

On the other hand, the warriors sent by Li Yan had already turned into the Chengdu Mansion and went to the place where the important documents of the Mansion were hidden.

And there were a few guards guarding the gate, and after these samurai went up, they took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and after they went up, they covered their mouths and noses and waited for all to run out of breath. When the leader saw a big lock hanging on the door, he immediately waved his knife to cut the big lock, and a cadre pushed the door in to find the account book......
