Gu Weiyu had just gotten up and was asked to leave by Gu Weide. Gu Weide's face was full of anxiety, and he kept urging him on the road.

When it came to Dazong, only the old monk sat in the upper room.

After retreating, the old monk left Gu Weiyu alone to speak, and Gu Weide stayed in the courtyard to prevent others from interfering.

I don't know what they said, when Gu Weiyu came out of the upper room, his steps staggered and his face was pale.

Gu Weide wanted to help him, but was stopped by a wave of his hand.

Sitting in the carriage, Gu Weiyu's mind kept echoing the words of the old monk.

The old monk asked him, "Why did Dongfu invite Chen Daochang to Beijing?" Do you only know that the Zhang family is the daughter-in-law of Governor Xiao? Who is her maiden family? Do you know who Daochang Chen is? He didn't know anything about what the old monk said, and he didn't know where to start.

When the old monk said any more, it was like a thunderbolt above his head.

It turned out that Chen Xuan's original surname was not Chen, but Sun. When Taizu conquered the world, he divided the sons, and the ancestor of Chen Daochang was named King Chen. Chen Wang believes in Taoism and is extremely obsessed. Influenced by him, his son entered the Taoist temple and became a Taoist priest at an early age. Later, after the death of King Chen, his son directly took the title as his surname and called himself Xudaozi.

Originally, King Chen's lineage was all in Baiyunguan in Beijing. When Ke Chengzu entered Beijing, King Chen was coerced by Emperor Hui and fled out of Beijing, and lost his trace since then.

Why did the old monk know about this secret history, because his master Shanzai had a good relationship with Chen Daochang when the master was in Beijing. When Chen Xuanyi was born, Master Shanzai also sent gifts to celebrate.

After Chengzu entered Beijing, he mobilized the whole country to find King Chen, but he has not found it until now.

Gu Weiyue listened to the old monk say these words, and a line gradually cleared up. It must have been Master Shanzai who helped Chen Daochang escape from the hands of Emperor Hui of the abolition, otherwise why did Chen Daochang live incognito in Xuanmiaoguan? More than ten years ago, Cheng Zuming was looking for King Chen on the surface, but in fact he was looking for Emperor Hui, and the descendants of King Chen naturally did not dare to show their traces.

The reason why Governor Xiao's daughter-in-law, Zhang, was able to take Chen Daochang away must be because the person who went to invite him was sent by the Gu family.

The old monk finally said: "Zhang Xubai and the Zhang family are people of the same clan, how can the Zhang family not know the identity of Chen Daochang?" Do you know who Zhang Xubai is? His ancestor was King Chen's personal bodyguard. The Zhang family has guarded the lineage of King Chen for generations, and the eldest son of the eldest son will be sent to Baiyun Temple as a Taoist. ”

"The Zhang family hasn't invited Daochang Chen for decades? Why do you want to invite it now? ”

As the old monk spoke, the momentum on his body gradually weakened, and his voice became lower and lower, "I originally planned to ask Chen Daochang to come out of the mountain this time and use him in exchange for the Gu family's safety." ”

The more Gu Wei sat in the carriage, the more he thought about it, the paler his face became. He hated the Dong family, and he hated his ignorance even more.

Before returning to his hometown, his father had told him many times to go to Fenglin Temple every morning and evening to say goodbye, but he felt that he was just an old monk and there was no need to be so respectful. Now that the old monk's connections have begun to show a corner, he can already save the Gu family from fire and water, why didn't he listen to his father's words? Why listen to Dong?

Dong said that the mountain road was difficult to walk, so let him go to see the old monk every few days......

After getting out of the carriage, he walked to the inner courtyard with unrelenting steps, and came to the door of the hanging flowers, and stopped abruptly.

"Sir?" The housekeeper Gu Fuhou saw that he had not moved for a long time, and called softly.

Gu Weiyu was shocked at this time, he took a deep look at the weeping flower door, turned around and said: "Go to the outer study, I want to write a letter to my father, you personally take the letter and send it to the capital, not through the second person." ”

Xiao Jinxuan, the governor of Jiliao, was the one who supported the establishment of the heir, and he wanted to write a letter to tell his father.

Runing Mansion, Ruyang Avenue, Juxian Pavilion Teahouse.

The monk held the tea cup and sipped the fragrant tea inside.

In front of him sat a scribe cross-legged, wearing a square scarf, a royal blue satin jacket, foundation soap boots, three locks of mustache, about thirty years old, with a dignified appearance and starry eyebrows and sword eyes.

is also the same as the monk Rudeng , holding a tea cup in his hand.

There was silence in the tea room, and only the sound of sipping tea could be heard.

After a while, a small novice pushed open the door of the tearoom and came in, and sent a note to the monk Rudeng .

The monk only glanced at it lightly, and then swept the note into his sleeve.

The scribe seemed to be unaware of it, but was concentrating on his tea.

"Brother introspection." The monk called softly.

The scribe in front of him finally raised his head and smiled brightly, "The great monk looks at this tea, after brewing, it rises and falls, the tongue is full of beads, and the knife jungle is ...... The soup is clear in color, extremely fragrant in taste, and has an endless aftertaste. He closed his eyes slightly, revealing a look of intoxication.

When the monk heard the words 'the tongue of the bird contains beads, and the sword jungle stands', his eyes shone brightly, and the corners of his lips smiled.

The two fell silent again.

After a while, the monk Rudeng inadvertently looked out the window, but made a "huh" sound.

"How did he get here?" As he spoke, he pulled the scribe in front of him and looked downstairs.

I saw a pastry shop opposite, and at this time, freshly steamed pastries were on the table, and people who came to buy pastries crowded forward. One of them, a seven or eight-year-old boy, was thrown to the ground and immediately burst into tears. A young man in monk's robes lifted him up with his hands and patted the dust off his body with his hands.

After a while, the boy squeezed into the crowd, sweating profusely, carrying two handfuls of pastries wrapped in oiled paper.

When the boy received the pastry, he immediately turned from crying to laughter.

Seeing the little boy jumping up and down with the pastries in the direction of the house, a smile appeared on the boy's face.

"Who is he?" When the scribe saw that the young man had red lips and white teeth, and his breath was magnificent, his heart was already full of joy.

The monk laughed, clapped his hands and summoned a small novice to tell him to go downstairs to lead someone.

When Gu Mengping was taken upstairs in a daze by Xiao Shami, he saw that it was a monk like a lamp, and hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed.

Monk Rudeng held Gu Mengping's hand, led him to the scribe, and said with a smile, "This layman's surname is Gu, his Dharma name is pure, and he is a personal disciple of Master Mingkong of Fenglin Temple. This surname is Jiang, and he is the Taishou of this house. ”

Satrap? Isn't that the prefect of Runing Mansion?

Gu Mengping was taken aback and hurriedly bowed.

Jiang Zhifu saw that he would perform Buddhist salutes for a while, and for a while for a lay family ceremony, he couldn't help laughing, smiled and made Gu Mengping get up, touched his body with both hands, and found a side that said, 'The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is a mirror platform.' Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. 'The word 'folding fan'.

"You black-hearted evil monk, you have long known that you are uneasy and kind. This is a folding fan written by Gong Wenlu in the previous dynasty, and it was begged for by you, an evil monk. Jiang Zhifu shook his head regretfully as he sent the folding fan to Gu Mengping.

As soon as Gu Mengping heard it, he knew that this was the property of Wen Yanbo, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, who believed in Buddhism in his later years and wrote a lot of books and stickers related to Buddhism.

Don't be busy.

Monk Rudeng snatched it, first unfolded it to take a look, and then stuffed it into Gu Mengping's placket, "You don't care about him, this old man has a lot of good things in his hands, but a Wen Lugong folding fan can break his bones?" Although he said this, he stared at the folding fan with his eyes.

I don't know how many times I asked Jiang Sixian for this folding fan, but I was rejected on the grounds that I liked it, but today I was inexplicably got it by Gu Mengping......

At this time, Monk Rudeng felt like hundreds of cats were stretching out their paws and scratching at the same time, and his heart was itching!

Jiang Sixian was refreshed, stroking his palms and laughing.

Obviously, I am extremely happy to make Monk Rudeng suffer a dumb loss.

The two of them laughed for a while, sat down separately, and the monk Rudeng asked with a smile why Gu Mengping appeared on the streets of Runing Mansion.

Gu Mengping said astringently: "If you want to go back to Fenglin Temple, pass by Runing Mansion!" ”

Monk Rudeng and Jiang Sixian glanced at each other, Fenglin Temple is in Suiping, where to pass by Runing Mansion? Looking at Gu Mengping in front of him, there was a small burden beside him, with a sad expression.

"Qingjing, the one in front of you is the second son of the first assistant of the cabinet, Jiang Daxue. Since the introspection brother is not weak, the crown is not weak, and the sound is shocking to the court. His Majesty once criticized him for his ability to govern the country by reading through the Analects. Monk Rudeng no longer mentioned Gu Mengping's matter, and instead teased Jiang Sixian in front of him, "You have been taught by the master since you were a child, and the master is also proficient in the Analects, why don't you ask you a few words of knowledge by the Taishou exam?" ”

Hearing that he did not boast of the Buddhist scriptures of the young man in front of him, but talked about the "Analects", Jiang Sixian also became curious.

Gu Mengping looked at Monk Rudeng gratefully.
