Chapter 274: General and Marshal
Early the next morning, Leng Yi entered the palace. He went straight to the palace of Emperor Zhao Guangyi to ask for a meeting.
Zhao Guangyi was immediately summoned. Seeing Leng Yi, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did Concubine Hua Rui agree to enter Nanke Temple? ”
Leng Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What the people sent by the official family before couldn't accomplish, Weichen has the ability to do it right away?" If it were so simple, the official family would not have such a headache. ”
Zhao Guangyi was slightly disappointed, and said, "That's right, it's okay, this matter won't go too well." Aiqing goes every day, grinding slowly, as long as she agrees, no matter what, I am willing to pay! ”
"Wechen obeys." Leng Yi arched his hand and said: "Weichen came to see the official family because I heard from Concubine Hua Rui yesterday that there were no flowers in Nanke Temple, which was a pity, so I ...... it."
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "This is easy to do!" As long as she asks for it, no matter what it is, she will be satisfied! Send someone to Nanke Temple to plant flowers and plants immediately! ”
Leng Yi said: "Official, in fact, this is a good opportunity!" ”
"What chance?"
"Didn't the official family want to send the portrait of Emperor Taizu to the temple for worship? Judging from yesterday's situation, the concubine did not seem to categorically refuse. And even if the mother agreed to let the official family send the portrait, it would only be a matter of one or two hours, and there would be no reason for the official family to stay any longer. However, if the official family said that in order to send a memorial to the official family, and at the same time to make the environment of Nanke Temple more beautiful, I specially asked the concubine Niangniang to allow the official family to take the queen, concubine, princess, princess and other flowers to plant flowers and pines in the temple, and take care of them from time to time. In this way, doesn't the official family have a reason to go to the temple to see the concubine Niangniang from time to time? ”
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed: "This plan is wonderful! In this way, you express my request to Concubine Hua Rui. Find a way to get her to say yes. ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Leng Yi came out and went straight to the secluded Nanke Temple in the southeast corner.
After knocking on the door, it was still the beautiful little nun Ling Yan who opened the door. However, when she saw Leng Yi this time, although she still had a straight face, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. Without saying a word, after Leng Yi came in, he closed the temple gate and turned around and walked inside.
Leng Yi said: "Why is my sister and Concubine Hua Rui commensurate with sisters? ”
Ling Yan didn't look back, and said lightly: "You don't know me?" ”
"I don't know."
"You lobbyist is so undutiful! Without asking who we were, they came in. ”
Leng Yi smiled: "I'm not a lobbyist. However, I'm interested in knowing the girl's situation, can you tell me? ”
"Don't say it! Why am I telling you? ”
"That's right, then I'll inquire myself."
"Don't ask!"
"Why?"
"No, why, I don't allow you to inquire about me anyway!"
"I'll inquire quietly, but you don't know."
Ling Yan turned around and looked at him: "You also underestimate us, although we practice in the temple, we know the same things outside." So if you're a ghost, I'll find out right away! ”
"I don't dare to make a ghost, that is, to inquire about my sister's life experience, my sister is so beautiful, she must not be an ordinary woman, she must be from a famous girl, just ask."
"Don't ask!" Ling Yan stared at him.
"Okay, I don't ask the girl, I only ask the origin of Nanke Temple, who is the great monk who meditates in it, and I don't specifically ask my sister who is. Anyway, there aren't many people in the temple, so I think someone will know and tell me. ”
Ling Yan snorted and said, "Forget it, instead of chewing your tongue and talking nonsense, it's better for me to tell you, don't inquire about it again!" ”
"Yes!"
"I'm Princess Chen!"
"Oh! It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess, disrespectful and disrespectful! ”
Seeing him like that, Ling Yan didn't seem to know what was going on with her princess of Yongguo, and said with a pout: "You know what happened to me and I am disrespectful?" ”
"Hehe, please make it clear to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"My father is Emperor Taizu! I am the third daughter of Emperor Taizu. Because his father said that he killed a lot of people in the southern and northern wars, many of them should not be killed. I have committed a lot of sins, and after seeking advice from my master, my master has asked my father to appoint a relative to become a monk in place of my father and take refuge in Buddhism, so that the sins can be resolved. My father asked me to lead the practice for him, and he built this temple in the imperial garden. Later, Concubine Hua Rui also wanted to lead the practice and atone for her father's sins, and my father agreed, and in this way, we became monks here. Because she is an elder, although I was the first to start, I still let her be a senior sister. That's it. ”
"I should talk about my senior sister and sister first."
"You don't have to worry about this, anyway, my father arranged it like this. Do you understand? ”
"Understood, Your Highness Princess."
"I'm a monk now! Don't call me any princess! Call me Ling Yan! ”
"Yes! Master Ling Yan. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it. Now that you know, don't ask around! ”
"Okay." Leng Yi said: "Who is that big fool?" ”
"She is the personal guard sent by my father to my senior sister, and she has become a monk with us."
"What about your master?"
"It's gone."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Leng Yi understood, it turned out that the two monks in this Nanke Temple were the sister-in-law of the current emperor Zhao Guangyi, and the other was his niece. Moreover, both of them were ordained uncles on behalf of Emperor Taizu to atone for their sins. That is to say, they are the stand-ins of Emperor Taizu, no wonder Zhao Guangyi, although he is bold, he does not dare to mess with Nanke Temple again.
While talking, the two came to the door of the Buddha hall. Ling Yan said: "You can go in by yourself, I won't accompany you." ”
Leng Yi stepped in, and saw Mrs. Hua Rui sitting cross-legged on the futon, reciting scriptures in a low voice. He coughed lightly to indicate his presence. Madame Blossom ignored her. Still chanting.
Leng Yi had no choice but to find a futon by himself and sit down, waiting quietly. After waiting for a meal, Mrs. Hua Rui finished chanting, turned to look at Leng Yi, and her expression was indifferent: "Lord Leng, you are here." ”
"Yes!" Leng Yi was a little strange, Mrs. Hua Rui's reaction was very different from yesterday's hot one. Could it be that she didn't wear a mask and replaced it with her deceased husband?
Mrs. Blossom got up slowly, walked to the offering table, offered incense, and prayed. He prayed silently for a while before turning to Leng Yi and said, "In the future, you can come later in the morning, because I have to do a morning class, and this cannot be delayed." ”
"Understood."
"Come with me."
Leng Yi followed Mrs. Hua Rui to the backyard, entered the courtyard, closed the door, Mrs. Hua Rui did not look at Leng Yi, only put down a sentence: "The clothes are in the room, they are all ready." Then he went straight to the wing.
Leng Yi also entered the main room, and sure enough, there was a new set of robes and shoes and socks on the round table. Leng Yi changed it, and the size was about the same. Then, take out Meng Chang's mask, apply glue, and dip it on his face.
He gathered up and opened the door, and saw Madame Blossom standing under the porch looking at him.
At this moment, Mrs. Hua Rui had already taken off her monk's robe and changed into a pomegranate dress, like a colorful cloud. It's just that her gaze was confused, looking at Leng Yi, and gradually became hot. Then, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked up the steps with Tingting in her arms, looked at Leng Yi, and called sweetly for a while: "Meng Lang!" ”
"Stamen!" Leng Yi also said softly. I thought, this woman's heart is really good, the same person, how indifferent to herself just now, changed her face, and she was so tender.
Mrs. Hua Rui stepped forward, grabbed Leng Yi's arm affectionately, and said, "Today, where are we going to play?" ”
Leng Yi thought to himself, apart from this Nanke Temple, where else can you go? However, he pretended to have a contemplative look on his face, and said: "It seems that the sky has changed in the past two days, there was a light snow last night, and the rejuvenation cold is also terrible, so don't go too far, let's drink in the house, you dance to show me, how about it?" ”
"Not good!" Mrs. Hua Rui said coquettishly: "Early in the morning, you want to get me drunk and bully me, but I don't follow." ”
"What's the best idea for the concubine?"
"I want to see our mighty generals, and marshals! You'll come with me, okay? ”
"Mighty general? Marshal? Leng Yi was puzzled.
"Hey! It's those tigers in Tiger Mountain! Or is it the saint who gave you the title! ”
Leng Yi suddenly understood, stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, yes, but Niangniang, you need to go out, what should others do if they see it?" ”
Madame Blossom sighed and said, "Won't you take off your mask?" ”
"Can the lady go out?"
"I'm not a prisoner, why can't I get out?"
Leng Yi slapped his head: "That's right!" Hey. Then please wait a minute, I take off my mask. ”
Leng Yi said, soaked in the potion, and took off the mask. I also changed back into my clothes and returned to my original appearance. When the two came out, Ling Yan heard that he was going to Hushan, and he also shouted that he wanted to go. Mrs. Hua Rui shook her head and said, "I want to be quiet, if you want to go, you can go alone in the future." ”
Ling Yan had no choice but to pout and agree.
Nanke Temple is not far from Tiger Mountain, to Tiger Mountain. Those guards of Tiger Mountain and the servants who raised tigers all knew Mrs. Hua Rui, and Emperor Taizu and the current emperor often accompanied Madame Hua Rui to Hushan to play. It's just that after Emperor Taizu died, he never came again. Now, since he is here again, he is accompanied by Leng Yi, the new royal belt of the official family. Obviously, it must be the meaning of the official family.
The guards hurriedly opened the door and let them in. And ready to follow behind. Mrs. Hua Rui said: "You don't have to follow, the tiger is in the Tiger Mountain, it is impossible to come out, it doesn't matter." -- Call out all the servants who are raised, and no one will be allowed to come in without the orders of the palace! ”
The guards hurriedly agreed, called everyone out of the Hushan wall, and closed the gate.
There are only the two of them in the entire Tiger Mountain.
This Tiger Mountain is actually very large, covering a wide area, and the whole perimeter is surrounded by a high wall. It is full of rockeries and bamboos, pavilions and pavilions. It's also a place to play. There is only a big pit the size of a football field, with rockery pines and cypresses in the middle, on which there are more than a dozen colorful tigers, sitting or standing, and a few of them are still staring at them with bright eyes, and from time to time they roar in menace.
Leng Yi looked back, and the gate had been blocked by rockery pines and cypresses from afar, and he couldn't see it.
There was silence all around, except for the occasional roar of the tiger. Everything was quiet.
Madame Hua Rui looked around at no one and whispered to Leng Yi: "You put on the mask!" ”
Leng Yi had already expected Mrs. Hua Rui to ask for this, so he carefully observed all the way in, and didn't find that there were others inside, so he nodded, took out the mask, and put it on his face, and didn't apply glue for convenience.
As soon as she saw Leng Yi wearing a mask, Madame Hua Rui's eyes immediately became hot, her breathing became short, and she said in a low voice: "Meng Lang, you can accompany me to see our mighty general again!" That's nice! ”
"yes. Flower. ”
"Shall we go down?"
"Go down?" Leng Yi was startled, and he didn't believe his ears, "Where are you going?" ”
"Under Tiger Mountain!"
"No, no! Aifei, it's too dangerous! No way! ”
Madame Blossom smiled: "You are still so timid, look at me." "Let's just walk forward.
Leng Yi had no choice but to follow, and the two came to a house, and Madame Hua Rui pushed open the door very familiarly and entered, there was a table with two keys on the table. She picked it up, walked to an iron door, opened the iron door, walked in, and motioned for Leng Yi to come in.
After Leng Yi entered, Madame Hua Rui latched the iron door and walked down the steps. It is a long staircase that descends almost two stories up to the ground. The light here is already relatively dim, and after walking a little further, you will reach the end, and there is another iron gate.
This iron gate is actually a fence gate, all of which are made of iron rods from wine glasses. A huge copper lock.
Through the fence, you can see the scene inside. -- It turned out to be the rockery where the dozen or so tigers were! You can also see several tigers on the rockery in the distance, looking at them fiercely.
And at this time, Madame Blossom actually took out the key to open the fence! Leng Yi was so frightened that her hair stood up, and she quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't!" , danger! ”
Madame Blossom turned to look at him and exclaimed, "Call me by name!" ”
"Stamen!" Leng Yi slowed down his tone, "Don't! Don't open the fence, it's too dangerous, just look at it like this. ”
Madame Blossom smiled cleverly: "They are raised by me, and they will never hurt me." Meng Lang, have you forgotten? ”
"No, no! Livestock are livestock, wild surnames are untamable, or don't take risks! ”
Madame Hua Rui turned around and shouted at the tiger inside, "General Zhengdong! Come here! ”
Immediately, a colorful tiger lying on the Tiger Mountain, with a slight jump, trotted briskly over until it reached the fence. He touched his nose to the fence, and seemed to smell the scent of Madame Blossom, and then his gaze immediately became as docile as that of a kitten.
Mrs. Hua Rui was very happy and said to Leng Yi: "It is called General Zhengdong, and we have raised a total of twelve tigers, which are called Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi, Zhengbei, Andong, Anxi, Annan, Anbei, and left, center, and right. Finally, there is their head, a white-fronted tiger, which is the most powerful. Called Marshal. It can crush the head of a big bull in one bite! All the generals were afraid of him. ”
"Really?"
"Of course...... huh?" Madame Blossom frowned and sniffed, "It stinks!" Why do you stink so much? General Zhengdong. They didn't give you a bath, did they? These minions, this palace must teach them a good lesson! ”
