Chapter 029: Shadow

. After Bisu arrived in Jinling City, he first found an inn to live in, and that night he changed into a night suit and sneaked into the pavilion, touched the residence of the envoy of the Song Kingdom, found Yang Hao, and told the situation in Kaifeng one by one.

After Yang Hao left, Yan Yan and the doll also quickly packed their luggage, and under the escort of the henchmen brought out by Mu Yu and Yang Hao from Luzhou, they quietly left Kaifeng Mansion, and followed the Qincha honor guard southward for a few days, and after making sure that no one was tracking, they turned west and sneaked in the direction of Huashan. Relatively speaking, that place is a place where there are fewer wars, and it is also easy to live in seclusion, this is the place where Yang Hao and them have discussed in advance, and when they have all the arrangements stopped, they will come to Jinling to meet.

Over there in Kaifeng, the pig who knows the truth has also promised to take good care of Miaomiao, as for the house, just like when the doll left Bianliang last time, the servants and guards of the courtyard were all left, leaving no flaws, Zhang Niu'er and Lao Hei and others were also handed over to Miaomiao, they were originally the housekeepers and bodyguards of the inner courtyard, and they were more handy than Mu Yu in doing these things, and they were Miaomiao's right-hand man.

When Yang Hao heard that everything was arranged, he was overjoyed, so he asked Bisu to go back to the inn first, and often went to the meeting place that Yanyan and the doll had already discussed, and the hundred-year-old "Yanyin Building" went around, and when they arrived, they informed themselves in time. When Bisu heard that he was in the middle of it, he immediately said goodbye to him, and took advantage of the night to find out of the inn and return to the inn.

In the following days, Li Yu had a big banquet on the fifth day and a small banquet on the third day, and he was extremely courteous to Yang Hao, Li Yu didn't want to continue to deal with him because of Yang Hao's arrogant attitude, but after listening to what Xiao Zhou said about Yang Hao's actions in Jinling, he was indeed a little worried that Yang Hao's character of causing trouble everywhere would conflict with the ministers of the Tang Kingdom, no matter how disrespectful he was, he would not dare to act too much.

Li Yu is very nerdy, he always believes that when the Song State invaded the Han State, he not only did not send troops to help the Han at the invitation of Liu Jixing, but also helped the Song State write a letter to the Han State to persuade Liu Jixing to surrender. He also rushed to the Song State before the Han State was destroyed, demoted and restructured, and recognized himself as a courtier, which can be described as benevolent and righteous to the Song State, since Zhao Kuangyin accepted that he was a courtier of the Song State, there was no reason to send troops to attack the Tang State. The main concern of detaining Yang Hao by his side was that his overly arrogant attitude would make some Tang ministers of civil and military affairs disrespectful to him, and then cause some diplomatic disputes. So I followed Xiao Zhouhou's suggestion and often invited him to the palace for banquets.

Li Yu's invitation, Yang Hao can't help but go, but Bisu is walking the streets and alleys these days, looking for his crush.

There have been many women, not only women in the Qinglou Carnival with money relations, but also some ladies and wealthy ladies who have been seduced by his appearance, but what made him so emotional was the first time in his life.

When Yang Hao sent him to inquire about the folk news in the Jianghuai area, he met her for the first time, although they never said a word to each other, nor did they have any intersection with her, but he fell in love with her and couldn't extricate himself. It's just that the girl who has never spoken to him staggered past him, because he smiled softly at him because he made way for himself.

That smile was so gentle and kind, Bisu vaguely remembered, it seemed that when he was a child, his mother was such a gentle and subtle smile. For many years, in the war, his relatives have died, he has no relatives and no reason, wandering in the rivers and lakes, like a rootless duckweed, he has never had the taste of love and affection, but the smile of this unknown girl stirred the feelings in his heart.

That girl was a bhikshuni.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ trying to find her, it's easier said than done.

There are 480 temples in the south of the Yangtze River, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain, and there are more than 480 temples in Jiangnan under the care of Li Yu.

Li Yu is beautiful, poetic, Buddha, and fond of chess. The wind of the Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River, since Li Yu succeeded to the throne, has become more and more intense. Every day he retreats from the court, he has to change into monk's clothes with Xiao Zhouhou, meditate and recite scriptures and do homework. Zhang Boben, a scholar in the middle school, did not believe in Buddhism, but he voted for the emperor's favor, and every time he saw Li Yu, he talked about Buddhism with him, so he became a favorite minister around him and was among the eunuchs. With this person as an example, everyone in the Chinese martial arts capital believed in the Buddha.

There are many Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Yu issued an edict to build more than 1,000 Buddhist temples on Niutou Mountain in the south of Jinling City, and the palace forbiddens a huge amount of money for this, and even the palace garden has built a Jingde Temple, for a time only the monks in Jinling City are nearly 100,000 people. These monks do not plough or weave, sit on money and grain, hide and tell the rock, so they go to the army to strip the people, making the people's resentment boiling.

You must know that monks do not have to pay taxes, military service, and conscription, so in ancient times when there was a shortage of labor, the imperial court generally strictly limited the number of monks, otherwise there were too many monks, and the country's financial and material resources would suffer a great loss. However, Li Yu did the opposite, not only did he cancel the "Pudu" system of auditing monks, but also because he was a Buddhist believer, he also personally came forward to compete with Taoism for believers as emperor, stipulating that if Taoist priests were willing to convert to Buddhism, the government would reward them with two taels of gold.

There is a lot to be done in this, so the real monks and fake bald donkeys are all over the mountains, and many of them are just seeking profits. For example, some people are attached to Buddhist temples, but in fact, they are only named disciples, but the family property has become a Buddha field, and the court can't get a penny of taxes. Some people pretended to be a Taoist priest first, and as soon as the spy arrived, he changed his career to become a monk, and took the opportunity to receive the reward of the imperial court.

It is also thanks to the solid family foundation left by Li Yu's father and ancestors for two generations that he can afford to toss him so much, the national strength of the Tang State has declined to this point today, and the morale of the army and the people is scattered, which has nothing to do with it. When there were more and more monks who did not work and ate, and the sesame oil money offered by the people alone could not support the existence of so many monasteries, Li Yu actually ordered the monks to be supported by the imperial court, and this expenditure was several times more than the military expenditure of the imperial court every year.

Therefore, the wind of the Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River is more prosperous, monks abound, even if it is a nunnery of bhikshunis, there are no less than 100 nuns, it is not easy for men to enter the nunnery, not to mention that they have to find a specific person among the many nuns, and the abbot can not let the abbot call all the young and beautiful nuns in the nunnery out for him to see, so that after looking for two days, there is no news of the young nuns, but he has been beaten out many times by some old nuns as a thief who steals incense and steals jade.

Bisu had an idea, simply changed into women's clothes, pretending to be incense Buddha, so that the nunnery could enter the hall and enter the room, and no one would stop it. Generally speaking, the size of the nunnery and the number of female nuns are much smaller than those of the monastery, but it is not easy to see all the nuns in a nunnery, only when doing homework in the main hall, all the monks will appear in a concentrated manner, so every nunnery in the wall house, you must patiently hang to the nuns to worship the Buddha and chant the scriptures to do homework.

This day to the meditation nunnery is no exception, he put on incense, put sesame oil money, in the nunnery grinding until the nuns in the hall to do their homework, Bisu stood outside the hall and patrolled several times, still did not see the nun who made him dream, couldn't help but sigh and left the hall, out of the second courtyard, Bisu was about to leave, unintentionally turned around, suddenly saw a corner of the cloth flashed through the yellow Buddha wall, into a side courtyard.

Bi Su's heart moved, all the nuns are now chanting scriptures in the temple, why is this nun not in the temple? He subconsciously chased after him, and saw a nun carrying two loads of water and turning around the corner of the temple. The fat tie clothes could not hide her delicate body like a crescent moon, and after only one glance at the back, Bi Su's eyes were straight: "It's her, it's her!" The sky lived up to its wishes, and it really made me find it. ”

At present, the wall is like an evil ghost, and his feet move involuntarily, so he chased after him from behind......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ these days Yang Hao often goes in and out of the palace, and has become a frequent visitor in the harem. There are many contacts, and it is not good to often show disrespectful faces to Li Yu, so his attitude gradually became polite, Li Yu was overjoyed when he saw it, and only said that he was enthusiastic and inspired, so that the arrogant and rude envoy of the Song State also had a sense of reverence for himself, and he was even more courteous to him.

At that time, the atmosphere of drinking and feasting must be accompanied by singing and dancing, and the lady was the head of the song and dance class in the Tang Palace, so naturally she had to be present at every banquet. The lady was originally a lotus picker in the south of the Yangtze River, and was elected to the palace at the age of sixteen. His mother was originally a person from the Persian food area, so the lady is a mixed-race child, with slightly blue eyes, European eyes, and a strong sense of three-dimensionality. Her original lotus picking dance is very graceful, and once her long and slender figure dances, it is like a lotus wave, and the pitching and swaying posture is extremely beautiful. Li Yu is a master of this way, so he admires her the most.

Although the lady is not Li Yu's concubine, but she is also his favorite woman, after singing and dancing, she often asks her to wait by her side, because she is familiar with Yang Hao, and it is not a state banquet, except for Yang Hao, only the palace dancers and palace attendants are present, and there is no need to have any scruples, so when the wine is strong, Li Yu can't help but let go of the bones, and often have intimacy with the lady.

This lady looks forward to being beautiful and natural, a smile and a charming self-generated, a generation of stunners, in front of Yang Hao, she has a fragrant "leather cup", and she looks straight at Yang Hao's eyes.

Yang Hao couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is really not as rigorous as in the north, and the concubines and dancers in the court of the Song Kingdom have never faced the emperor so badly in front of foreign ministers, this Li Yu really doesn't look like an emperor." ”

It is indeed rare for an emperor to like Li Yu's self-violent private life, and the song "Bodhisattva Man", which vividly describes his affair with his sister-in-law Ziying, who has not yet become the queen, is needless to say, even after Nuying became the queen, Li Yu made no secret of the married life of the two, a song "Yi Hu Zhu": "The evening makeup has passed for the first time." Shen Tan injected a little lightly, revealing the cloves to people. A song, temporarily lead the cherry to break. Luo sleeves can be remnant. The cup is washed by the fragrant mash, and the embroidery bed is oblique and delicate. chewed red velvet and smiled at Tan Lang. The charming scenery of the husband and wife was undoubtedly exposed, and at this moment, in front of Yang Hao, he was intimate with a maiko, how could he have any scruples.

The lady had a "leather cup", put the wine into Li Yu's mouth, but as if she knew that Yang Hao was looking at her, her delicate body was in Li Yu's arms, but she smiled back at Yang Hao, the enchanting and charming style was not without provocative meaning, Yang Hao's heart jumped, and he quickly lowered his gaze: "Li Yu's harem has three thousand beauties, and there is a well of Li Yu in a thousand acres, and these resentful women in the deep palace are probably dissatisfied, and in front of Li Yu, they dare to flatter me." ”

Just thinking about it, an attendant came in with a large number of music sheets, bowed his head and said a few words to Li Yu, Li Yu frowned, let go of the little waist of the lady, and said unhappily: "Lone Zheng and Yang Zuo are drinking, don't you see?" ”

The chamberlain said in fear: "My lord, these cases are all prisoners waiting for death, and they have been backlogged for a long time. ”

Seeing this, Yang Hao said with a smile: "State affairs are important, the lord of the country will go and review the official documents, the lower officials are already drunk, so they will leave." ”

Li Yu was not exhausted, and smiled at him: "Lonely is fond of playing chess, although it is best to play Go, but he has also been immersed in chess for a long time. I just listened to the kind of chess that Yang Zuo said, it seems to be very interesting, the lonely king is trying to see it, the left envoy is not busy walking, the lady of the cave, first lead Yang Zuo to the chrysanthemum garden to enjoy the flowers, the lonely king will come. ”

After the banquet was dispersed, Li Yu went to the side hall with the waiter to deal with the official documents, but Yang Hao was led to the back garden by the lady. The lady had been instructed by Xiao Zhouhou, but she had the intention of creating a scandal with Yang Hao, but unfortunately there was no suitable opportunity to meet him privately, so she could only flirt in the palace, and used foxy means in front of Li Yu to attract Yang Hao's heart. At this time, it was rare to have this opportunity, and in front of him, I couldn't help but speak softly, and my attitude was too intimate.

It's a pity that when she dances in the hall, although Yang Hao can't take his eyes off her, he often shows her a man's instinctive appreciation for beautiful women, but this kind of private environment is decent, and he doesn't squint. In fact, this is also a common problem of most men, when sitting in the audience, you can judge the beauties on the stage, but you can't let go in front of her.

Yang Hao only answered one question when he asked, the Jiangnan characters are delicate and exquisite, and the teasing of the lady is too elegant, just with Yang Hao's knowledge of Chinese culture, where can you taste the taste?

The lady didn't know his details, and her words were provocative, bold and hot, but Yang Hao only spoke in a way, and the bow was like a ceremony, and the lady couldn't help but wonder: "Is this Song envoy a decent gentleman who is not a good woman, or is he afraid of my identity?" I'll try him again.

"Lord Yang, do you see that cluster of chrysanthemums blooming well?"

Yang Hao followed the guidance of the lady and looked at it, only to see a cluster of chrysanthemums with jade white, light yellow, pink, rose red, light purple ......, carved petals, rolled petals, folded petals, spoon petals, missing petals, ......some like pine needles, some like hanging silk, some like rosettes, some like dragon claws...... some have been full of flowers, such as beautiful smiling faces; Some of the small petals are soothing, such as stretching out the slender jade fingers, and the most sultry thing is to put the tender buds in the heart, and implicitly hold the petals to say that they are still ashamed.

The chrysanthemum color is milky white, the flowers are round, the stamens are downward, narrow and long like a dancing woman, the lady said with a smile: "This chrysanthemum, there is a name, called" Dancing under the moon ', adults, you see it is slender and slender, light body, like not like a beautiful woman dancing and singing and dancing under the full moon?" ”

Lady seems to be drunk and weak, and seems to be a little forgetful, when she approached Yang Hao to point out for him, the full chest unconsciously approached Yang Hao's shoulder, if there is a gentle wipe, the feeling of elasticity and softness will sink into the heart, Yang Hao only felt that she was like an orchid, her delicate body was on the side, as if only one side of the head, she could kiss her cheek, so she took a step without a trace, and said with a smile: "Originally, Yang couldn't see the doorway, let the lady say, it was really a little similar." ”

"Ah......, the official is drunk, a little drunk, the lady goes to rest, the official doesn't need to accompany him, the lord of the country has business to be busy, Yang will walk around the courtyard alone and sober up the wine."

The lady couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, since her beauty first appeared, I don't know how many men chased under her skirt, and it was the first time that she took the initiative to drive her away, could it be that this person was really a gentleman with noble conduct, or did the things in Taogu in the past make him wary? The lady was too eager, so she had to smile lightly and retreat.

Li Yu's handling of official documents was not that Xiao Zhou deliberately broke him away, otherwise he might have used this opportunity to create some indisputable scandal for Yang Hao. Li Yu was swept away from drinking, but it was the hands and feet of those waiters, and their purpose was not to create opportunities for the lady, but to make money for themselves.

It turned out that Li Yu believed in Buddhism, so he also made a child's play with the laws of the country, and every time the case of a death row prisoner was pending in the daily newspaper, he did not punish according to the law, but set up a life lamp for each of the prisoners, and placed it in the temple of the palace, if the life lamp was burned all night and not extinguished, after he came to inspect it the next morning, the death row prisoner would be exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to other punishments.

Buddhism has a fasting day every month, it is said that on this day there will be a Bodhisattva to come into the world, according to the pedestrian world, compare good and evil, if you chant the corresponding Bodhisattva Buddha name on this day, you can destroy all sins. Increase all blessings. Li Yu did not extinguish the lamp of his life, so he released his sins, just to emulate the Bodhisattva. As everyone knows, he is actually the God of Wealth Bodhisattva who is a eunuch and a monk.

This rule has been known to the entire Tang Kingdom for a long time, but whenever there is a death row murder case, his family will not hesitate to bribe the palace attendants and the monks in the palace temple, and the chamberlain accepts his money, so he intends to postpone his murder case file and wait until the fast day to present it to Li Yu, especially when Li Yu is having other things, so that he has no intention of reading the file.

Even if the wind blows out in the middle of the night or the lamp oil is burned out, they will let the little novice secretly light or refill the lamp oil to save the person's life.

Zhairi retried the case of a death row prisoner, since it is such a rule, how can Li Yu carefully review and scrutinize the files one by one like Zhao Kuangyin, and there is still an unhappiness when it comes to dealing with it? He hurriedly browsed through them, signed them one by one, and then according to the old rules, he asked people to inscribe the names of these prisoners on the number plate one by one, and put a lamp in front of the card and send it to the Jingde Temple in the harem.

Li Yu processed the death row prisoner files that needed to be reviewed at a very fast speed, and walked into the Ju Yuan excitedly, wanting Yang Hao to show the kind of chess play he said with relatively new and suspicious rules, who expected that there would be no one in the Ju Yuan. Li Yu looked around in surprise and instructed the two accompanying little chamberlains: "Yang Zuo thinks he is wandering in the flower garden?" Look for the two of you, and let him come to the Lone King. ”

The two little chamberlains agreed, and after a split left and right, they looked around the clusters of blooming chrysanthemums.

Yang Hao just went to the pavilion to rest, just climbed to the pavilion, suddenly saw a small palace person leading a girl from the flower path to walk, look at the back, there is a fold of Yu has nine points of similarity, Yang Hao was surprised, involuntarily chased up. As a result, standing on a high place, he also got the whereabouts of the palace beauty, once he entered the flowers, it was difficult to find someone, and after wandering around for a long time, Yang Hao found that he was lost, and the surrounding clusters of flowers were all strange kinds of Xianba, but they were not like chrysanthemums, thinking that he had broken into other palaces, and he also knew that the forbidden palace could not break in, but ......, when he thought of the excerpts, Yang Hao bit the root of his teeth, and ran down a flower path with a hard head......
