Chapter 32 Taoist Soldiers

'When! A crisp sound, this is the magic bell swaying in the wind, a middle-aged Taoist priest shook the golden bell expressionlessly, curling green smoke around him, he was wearing a soft gauze Heavenly Master Taoist robe inlaid with gold edges, and a peachwood sword on his back. Starting

Behind him is an elderly Taoist priest with crane hair and childish face, with snow-white hair, quite a fairy atmosphere, he wears a Huayang jade crown, wears a crane, sits cross-legged on the high altar, holds the dust in his left hand, pinches the formula with his right hand, and recites words in his mouth.

Suddenly, he swept the dust and shouted, 'Duh! The fingers popped out like lotus flowers, his eyes opened slightly, and his cold gaze swept in front of the row of men and women kneeling on the ground below, and finally his gaze fell on Yang Yong, the king of Qi who was kneeling at the front.

The elder Taoist priest is called Pan Dan, who is the host of Songyang Palace, claiming to have lived for three hundred years, and is about to become an immortal, and his longevity has been unanimously supported by the local mountain people, coupled with his crane hair and unfathomable bearing, so that Yang Yong, the king of Qi, believes in him.

not only treated him with courtesy, but also specially built a palace for him to practice.

"I beg the Immortal to guide me through the maze!"

These days, Yang Jian is quite irritable and uneasy, he is unable to control the continuous riots in the capital, although he sent the army to suppress the troubles of the displaced people, but the various riots one after another make him anxious, so that he is helpless, and he is afraid that his father will accuse him of incompetence, in desperation, he can only come to ask Pan Dan to guide him.

Where can Pan Dan guide him to this kind of maze, he is a cultivator, this kind of control of the riot has nothing to do with him, but he can appease the worries in King Qi's heart.

He pointed to the young woman on the edge with a whisk, "This woman is indescribably noble, she is the face of the queen." ”

The young woman was startled and hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you for your advice!" ”

Although the Taoist priest answered some questions, Yang Yun was still secretly surprised, this young woman was his favorite woman, but not his concubine, she was the sister of Princess Qi who died of illness three years ago, the daughter of the Wei family of Jingzhao Mingmen, and the wife of Yuan Shangwu, the eldest son of Yuanshou, who had been fornicating with him for six or seven years, and gave birth to a daughter, who was called her concubine sister in the house.

Yang Yun once swore to Sister Concubine at the bedside that if he was called the emperor in the future, he would be named the queen sister, this was a secret between the two of them, but Pan Dan was able to say a word, which surprised Yang Jun in his heart, and at the same time felt a trace of relief, which implied that he had the hope of becoming the emperor and could survive this crisis in the capital.

He hurriedly knelt down and said, "When will it be possible to ask the disciple of the Immortal Confession?" ”

Pan Dan's snow-white eyebrows drooped slightly, and he shook his head, "This is a heavenly opportunity, you can't know it, if you leak it, I will be punished by heaven." ”

As soon as his eyes closed, he didn't say anything more, and he didn't pay attention to Yang Jun anymore, Yang Jun had no choice but to get up and turn around and order: "Send the immortal back to the room to rest!" ”

At this time, Pan Dan's apprentice, who was standing at the bottom, said: "My master is going to the Bishan Palace today." ”

"Go to Besanu!"

Yang Xuan ordered repeatedly: "Send the immortal to the other palace!" “

Walked into the eight Qi Wangfu family members from outside the courtyard, all of them were strong, and placed a pavilion-style shoulder inlaid with gold and jade on the altar, and several disciples slowly helped Pan Dan to sit on it, and Pan Dan shook off the dust, 'Get up! Eight strong men carried them on their shoulders and walked outside the house, and Pan Dan's sixteen disciples lined up in two rows and followed behind, and from beginning to end, Pan Dan ignored Yang Jun.

But Yang Yan was respectful, knelt on the ground, and sent the immortal back, at this time, one of his concubines couldn't hold back anymore and muttered in a low voice, "This person is so rude!" ”

happened to be heard by Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan was furious, got up and slapped the concubine to the ground, and angrily reprimanded her: "Shangxian Fengyi, how can I and other mortals be unpredictable!" ”

He was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and shouted the order, "Take this slut a hundred rods, lock her up for three days, and see if she dares to speak again!" ”

The concubines were so frightened that they trembled all over, and were dragged down by several healthy women who were as strong as oxen, and the other concubines were all frightened like clay sculptures, with a hundred rods, which were going to kill people, and they had never seen such a big fire from His Highness.

Yang Yong's mood was extremely bad, and his anger was still unresolved, he snorted heavily, pulled his feet and walked towards the inner courtyard, and just walked to the door, a family member came to report: "Your Highness, the emperor's envoy has arrived." ”

Yang Jun nodded, "Please wait for him in my study!" ”

Yang Jun turned around and walked towards the study.

．．．．．．

In Yang Xuan's study, a middle-aged man about forty years old is pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, this person is called Huangfu Xu, is the county magistrate of Yique County, Luoyang Prefecture, two years ago, this person was still a poor scholar, he is a relative of Chen Zhiwei, the confidant of King Qi, recommended to Yang Hui by Chen Zhiwei, after a detailed discussion, Yang Xuan found that he was quite strategic, just to make up for the vacancy after Yu Shiji was deposed.

Huang Fu Xu won Yang Xuan's favor, and was made up as the county commander of Yique County last year, and Huang Fu Xu was also worried about the two days, and the continuous riots in the capital made him feel uneasy, if this continues, it will show the incompetence of the King of Qi, so as to lose points in front of the saint, and finally lose the opportunity to win the East Palace.

He had already advised Yang Jun several times, but Yang Jun did not take his advice, and blindly used force to suppress it, but did not have any gentle means, so that the riots had a tendency to intensify.

What's even worse is that the price of rice has risen, causing all the price increases, which has spread to Yique County, and the people's resentment is boiling.

Huangfu Xu just heard Yang Jian doing things, which made him angry and hateful, superstitious and evil arts, this has been a taboo of the royal family since ancient times, why didn't King Qi understand it? Especially Yang Yuanqing's appointment arrived last night, such a dangerous thing, Yang Xuan didn't seem to react at all, as soon as he thought of this, Huangfu Xu was anxious.

"Why did the Imperial Envoy come here today?" Yang Jun's laughter came from the door.

Huangfu Xu turned around and bowed to Yang Xuan, who walked into the room, and said, "See Your Highness!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Yang Jun walked into the study and sat down, smiled and said, "Is there something wrong with the envoy looking for me?" ”

"I listen to Yang Yuanqing as the general of the East Palace's left and right guards, is there such a thing?"

"Yes! Yesterday, the father's decree had arrived, and the father ordered Yang Yuanqing to stabilize the situation in the capital. Yang Jian took a sip of tea and said casually.

Seeing that Yang Jian didn't take it seriously, Huangfu couldn't help but say in a hurry: "Your Highness, the army of the East Palace is controlled by His Royal Highness, what is the matter with Yang Yuanqing interfering?" Also, ordering Yang Yuanqing to control the situation in the capital is not equivalent to determining that His Highness is incompetent? ”

Of course, Yang Jun was also bored with this matter, otherwise he would not have invited the immortal to relieve his worries, but he didn't want to show it, at this time, listening to Huangfu's harsh words, he was actually incompetent, and Yang Jun's face immediately sank.

"Huangfu County Order, is this what a minister should say?"

Huangfu said this from Yang Jun, he had never seen him put on a shelf, and today the situation was critical, he put up a shelf, which made him smile bitterly in his heart, so he had to kneel down and ask for sin, "Weichen is anxious, and he offended His Highness in his words, please forgive His Highness!" ”

Yang Yun's face improved slightly, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, get up!" This king is in a bad mood, so be careful! ”

King Qi was in a bad mood, knowing that he still knew that the situation was critical, Huangfu Xu had confidence again, stood up and said: "Your Highness, it's still too late, only if the countermeasures are appropriate, Weichen feels that the situation can still be reversed." ”

Yang Jun looked at him, "Go down!" ”

"Your Highness, the minister has been thinking all the way, why did the saint only appoint Yang Yuanqing as the general of the left and right guards, and did not simply appoint him as the general of the East Palace's Sixth Rate Mansion, so that he could directly take away His Highness's military power, Weichen thought there were two possibilities."

"Which two are possible?" Yang Jun was also attracted by his words and sat up straight.

"First, the saint may not fully trust him, so he doesn't dare to give him all the troops of the Liurate Mansion, but Weichen feels that since this is the case, why not let Yuwen Chengdu come over, then it will be solved at once."

"Yes! It has to make sense, since sending Yang Yuanqing is not a matter of trust, what will be the reason? ”

"Weichen thinks that it is the second possibility, that is, the saint has not completely made up his mind to seize the military power of His Royal Highness, the saint is still hesitating, so there is no step in place, maybe the saint wants to wait and see His Highness's attitude, Weichen feels that this possibility is very big, if so, then there is a possibility to make up for it."

Huangfu Xu's analysis was methodical, and half of the decadence in Yang Jun's heart was swept away, and he cheered up again and said, "Mr. told me what to do?" I'll definitely listen to Mr. this time. ”

"There are three suggestions for the humble position, first of all, His Royal Highness should have a good attitude, since the Holy Lord has issued an order, then give him the left and right guards, and he must not be angry and resist the order, secondly, the Holy Lord sent him to control the situation in the capital, His Royal Highness must express his support on the surface, and his attitude should be clear, this is to do it for the Holy Lord, do the first two well, then the focus is to do the third article, and Yang Yuanqing must not be allowed to succeed, and the Holy Lord must be made to understand that it is not that His Royal Highness is powerless to quell the chaos, but that the situation is too serious, and even Yang Yuanqing has failed to quell the chaos."

Huangfu Xu's suggestion made Yang Xuan see the sun like a cloud, and his heart suddenly opened

He knew what he was going to do.

．．．．．．．

At noon, Yang Yuanqing led 500 soldiers from the Upper East Gate into the capital Luoyang.

He is no longer the Fenyang Palace Supervisor, the Fenyang Palace Supervisor was taken over by Li Yuan, Yang Yuanqing resumed his military post again, and served as the general of the East Palace's left and right guards.

What's more important is that Yang Guang secretly gave him a Shang Fang Tianzi Sword, which makes his identity like a minister of Qincha, he can mobilize the resources of the entire capital, Panying Sword is a private sword, using the power of the emperor, while Shang Fang Tianzi Sword is a power sword, if the emperor is there in person, you can cut it first and then play, it is much more authoritative than Panying Sword, but after completing the mission, Shang Fang Tianzi Sword must be handed over to the emperor.

Yang Yuanqing led the army to arrive, and ordinary pedestrians and businessmen all dodged away, allowing the army to enter the city first.

Yang Yuanqing rode on his horse, looking at the situation on the streets on both sides, he wondered, what kind of damage had the continuous riots brought to the capital?

On the surface, there is not much change, but if you look closely, you will find that there are few people wearing rich clothes and many people wearing ordinary clothes, and there are homeless people everywhere, squatting in groups in the corners and under the eaves, women holding children, most of them in ragged clothes, and watching the army enter the city with wary eyes.

At this moment, a shout came from the front: "Songyang Shangxian returns to the palace, and the shishu and idle people are avoided!" ”
