Chapter 62: Sitting by the Snow Stove at Night

"The saint still has to think about how to deal with it, right?" Queen Wang persuaded, I really don't know how the princess Jingshan has become more and more stupid in the past two years? I thought that he was also a smart and clever financial manager back then, but unfortunately he became more and more arrogant, and finally put Queen Wang in his eyes, and Queen Wang was disheartened and cut off contact with her.

Empress Wang knows her own affairs, all because the queen can not have children, the saint in Xingqing Palace is now the most favored Wu Hui Concubine, Wu Hui Concubine is also angry, in recent years, several princes and princesses have been born, the saint also often stays in Xingqing Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, this Daming Palace is afraid that it will really be regarded as a cold palace?

"Hey, there's really no good way" The sage thought for a while and sighed, it will definitely not work to be forced, appease, after that, I am afraid of causing dissatisfaction with the Taoists, and this degree must be well controlled.

"The sage should arrange for Jin Wuwei to prepare early" Meng Wenli also had no good plan, and also suggested preparing by force.

"Let's get Pei Min ready first," the sage sighed as well.

As he was talking, General Pei Min asked to see him.

Pei Min, the general of Jin Wuwei, came in and opened his mouth, and everyone jumped, "Sage, a large number of monks have gathered in Xuanyangfang, please advise on how to deal with it?" ”

"How many?" The sage asked.

"It's over 10,000, and countless people are coming one after another," Pei Min replied.

"What?" The saint is not calm anymore, and today he is afraid that the monks of the whole city will be dispatched.

"General Pei, hurry up and block all the street entrances" Meng Wenli was also anxious, last time the Ascension Daofang only dispatched thousands of disabled soldiers, which caused a heated discussion in the whole city, this time I am afraid that half of the city will really be involved.

General Pei Min was also depressed, this time it was the same as last time, the monks and the disabled sergeants couldn't fight.

"The matter has come to this, the sage or the sage still gathered to discuss the disposal strategy" The queen also knows the hardships and dangers, as the saying goes, the bell needs to be tied to the bell, and the sage should not invite the Marquis of the Far East to come and ask? ”

"That kid is waiting to see the joke, if so-and-so and the courtiers can't even solve this matter, won't they laugh at that kid to death?" As soon as the sage heard the Marquis of Far East, his head was big, "Besides, today, the Liaoyang County Mansion will pick up the Queen Mother and return to Ning Province, Dugu's family is thin, how can the Queen Mother not be present to greet the Queen Mother?" ”

So the sage put down the porridge bowl and ordered to go directly to the Zichen Palace.

Before leaving, he sighed and instructed the queen Wang, "Yanran, you have to work hard these days to take care of the inner library."

Yanran, the name of the queen and queen.

The saints of the Zichen Hall rarely came, and even the Xuanzheng Hall only came when Wangshuo received the court, and the Hanyuan Hall also came to the great court, and the Chang Dynasty was in the diligent government building of Xingqing Palace.

The three major halls of Daming Palace, Hanyuan Hall is the main hall of Daming Palace, located in the north of Danfeng Gate, the south edge of Longshouyuan, it is the place where major celebrations and court meetings are held, also known as "Outer Dynasty".

The north of Hanyuan Hall is the Xuanzheng Palace, which is the place where the emperor listens to the government in the court, and is called "the middle court". It is the place where the emperor listens to the government and is called "the middle dynasty".

The Zichen Hall is located in the north of the Xuanzheng Palace, called the "Inner Dynasty", and the ministers meet the emperor here, called "entering the cabinet".

The only people who can enter the cabinet are the ministers, the governors who participate in politics, and the three products under the same Chinese book, and then the middle school and the people who give things to the door.

The ministers of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province are now working in the provincial government next to the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, and they wonder what day this is on the road in the morning, how many monks have arrived at the provincial government, and after a while, they will gather together with Jingzhaofu and Jin Wuwei and other divisions to report: Chang'an monks have surrounded Wannian County, and someone came to report after the hour, and the whole Chang'an monks went out to surround Xuanyangfang.

From the beginning of the siege of Wannian County, the monks had the same routine as the disabled soldiers of the previous Ascension Workshop, not noisy or noisy, just meditating, and those who were a little more active gathered believers to preach the scriptures, and by the way, they publicized the temple, and slowly even they themselves felt scared, how could there be so many peers in Chang'an?

Song Jing was already convening the ministers of the political hall to discuss this matter, and when he heard that the saint was summoned in the Zichen Palace, he brought people to come, and it was quite neat, Song Jing in the service, Ziwei Ling Zhang said, Ziwei Shilang Su Ying, Huangmen left Shilang Zhang Jiazhen, Huangmen right Shilang Yuan Qianyao, and there are many of the five ministers.

Seeing that the sage and Jingzhao Mansion Yin were also there, the two sides proved the information they had together, and they figured out the ins and outs, and the key now is how to calm down the situation.

The hardliners led by Song Jing Xianggong believed that the siege of the county government could not be repeated and that it must be severely punished, and ordered the presiding officers of the major monasteries to bring back the monks, and to restrict and reduce the distribution of degrees.

On the one hand, Zhang Shuo Xianggong led the argument that appeasement should be the mainstay, and now there are nearly 50,000 monks and 50,000 believers in Xuanyangfang, and a tough deal will cause riots.

The saint had a headache, and after secretly scolding the kid Dugu Xinci twice, he decided to appease the scattered monks first and then discuss the future.

Song Jingxianggong also knew that the top priority was to evacuate the people, and he nodded in agreement, but there were disagreements on how to negotiate, and Song Xianggong thought that Jingzhao Mansion should come forward to resume the business of Qinglong Bookstore in Dongshi and allow it to sell Buddhist scriptures.

However, Zhang said that the prime minister believed that these conditions could not meet the requirements of the monks, and that they should be resolved once and for all, and that the saints should convene the temples to preside, and in addition to unsealing the Qinglong Bookstore, it was also necessary to distribute the Buddhist scriptures in the inner library, in exchange for the promise of the temples not to make trouble again.

The saint pondered for a long time, and decided to come out in person, in the Xingqing Palace North Gangji Temple to meet the major temple hosts, at noon, there is a division to convene most of the temples to preside, this time even the saint was frightened, this Chang'an monk light presided over more than 100.

The three chaos of Chang'an, the monks, prostitutes and rangers, the sage not only remembered the nonsense of Dugu Xinci.

There are one hundred and eight squares in Guocheng outside Chang'an, of which there are temples in seventy-seven squares, Honglu Temple has loads, and there are one hundred and fifty-nine temples in Chang'an City. This is not counting the eight major temples in Fanchuan, that is, there are not thousands of monks in each temple who are embarrassed to say that they are the eight major temples.

Although the saint was strange in his heart, he still greeted the well-known abbot with a smile, Master Peeji of Ci'en Temple, the first seat of Shan Wudaunt of Daxingshan Temple, the Hanguang host of Kinkaku Temple, Master Huiguo of Qinglong Temple, Master Huilang of Chongfu Temple, and Master Yuan Jiao of Baoshou Temple, all the way down with a smile on his face.

The monks were originally worried, but when they saw that the saint was summoned in person, they also tried their best to appease them, and distributed the inner library scriptures and major temples, and their hearts were naturally swept away, and they apologized one after another, saying that they would strictly restrain the monks, and this situation would never be repeated again.

Although the sage solved the incident, he was puzzled by the depression in his heart, and saw that Feng Yuanyi, the Duke of Qi, was actually present, and when he inquired, he knew that he was accompanying Dugu Xinci to the bridge to greet the queen mother, and when he heard that there was an accident in Chang'an, he hurried back.

The sage was quite satisfied with Dugu Xinci's move, and his resentment towards him was slightly reduced, so he ordered Feng Yuan to return to Gongchuan as soon as possible, and not let the empress dowager suffer the slightest grievance.

Feng Yiyuan had to return to Gongchuan again, and it was only a time to go out of the city, but a large number of monks had already returned to the temple on the sixth street of Chang'an.

In the courtyard of Meng Cheng'ao house, after listening to Feng Yuanyi's narration, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter was finally resolved.

The Empress Dowager Dugu turned her head and looked at Dugu Xinci, who was rubbing her shoulders with the eyes of a monster, "You, this kid, this time it is not a small matter for the saint and the court."

King Duguzhen also angrily reprimanded his stupidity, saying that he would break his leg next time.

"Fortunately, the matter was solved by the sage, and I went to a certain meal" The Queen Mother Dugu missed the banquet at noon, fresh and delicious, cooked and soft.

The main theme of dinner is Dugu Xinci's river fresh that he personally searched in the afternoon, two hibernating large soft-shelled turtles, chopped into large pieces, plus an old hen, stewed gastrodia Sichuan shellfish yam, two pots, full of portions, rich and milky white soup, as well as steamed mandarin fish, braised carp, dry stir-fried loach, fried small fish and shrimp, green onion black fish fillet, batter fried fish, boiled fish fillet, and a pot of fish ball tofu, and casually got two green vegetables to live.

Dugu Xinci first served soft-shelled turtle soup to the queen mother, and stirred it a few times with a porcelain spoon before putting it in front of the queen mother, saying, "A bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup every day, coughing and wheezing are all gone"

The Queen Mother Dugu tasted two bites, "Well, it's good, this taste is really good, Tianxing has a heart"

Ho, I changed my name after a bowl of soup, and no one called him Tianxing for a long time, so I'm not used to it.

"Oh, the queen mother drinks this bowl, and then drinks another bowl before going to sleep, to ensure that she doesn't cough at night" Dugu Xinci promised.

"Then I really want to thank you, I have a night cough in the winter moon, more than ten years, I don't know how many imperial doctors are helpless, you can solve it with this bowl of soup?" The Queen Mother Dugu was suspicious.

"If you can't try it," Dugu Xinci said with a smile, "This fish ball is freshly made to ensure freshness."

Here Dugu Xinci is currying favor with the Queen Mother, and a few people in the room are also moving.

King Shen sighed: "I'm afraid that there have been more than ten years of waiting for three people to eat at the same table, right?" ”

King Shen and Sage were raised by the Queen Mother Dugu, King Dugu was the queen mother's nephew, the companion of the saint, and Feng Yuanyi, the Duke of Qi, was the companion of the saint.

Duguzhen glanced at Feng Yuanyi and silently picked up the wine cup, "You're old, you have been hating you for more than ten years, it's enough, and it's not all to blame for that matter."

Feng Yuanyi almost burst into tears, it had been more than ten years, and he had waited for a fair word to carry the black pot that killed the mother and son of Dugu Mansion for more than ten years.

Since the old grudge has been revealed, the two cups have come and gone, also known as the staggered planning, although there are few words, but the wine is like snow melt water, looking murmuring, but the accumulation of a lot of ah, and finally become a river.

King Shen was very depressed when he saw that the two of them were drinking vigorously but ignored themselves, and it was very strange to see that a pot of fish broth was red, so he scooped a spoonful, took a big mouthful, and almost choked to death.

Hurry up and take a big sip of wine, but the burning knife is also strong, and the spicy taste makes his tears come down, "How much pepper do you put here?" Why is it so spicy? ”

Dugu Xinci slowly ate a bite of boiled fish fillet, very authentic, this wild pepper is difficult to collect, once in the dogwood slice accidentally found a few, it is like a treasure.

The pepper is good, and the boss of Qinglongfang's meat and vegetable shop has helped collect a room, and two wagons of dry goods and condiments have been sent two days ago.

Queen Mother Dugu saw that King Shen's spicy tears were falling, and she also tasted it curiously, "It's quite spicy, you really shouldn't buy this pepper with money."

"It's enough for the Queen Mother to taste it, although this boiled fish drives away the cold, it is easy to hurt the trachea" Dugu Xinci said with a smile, "This dish is excellent with ice wine"

Isn't it? One spicy and one ice, two days of ice and fire.

But Yu Zhi, Stalin, Fujiwara, and Ma Yang all have a soft spot for this dish, and they shouted that it was delicious enough, so that Dugu Xinci would make more in the future.

"This dish uses more than half a catty of pepper alone" Dugu Xinci glanced at it and snorted coldly, "The pepper in the West Market is a tael of consistent money, and there are also mountain peppers, cooked oil and spicy seeds, and ginger."

Cooked oil and chili seeds are dogwood ground into powder, fried and soaked, all spicy condiments.

Everyone was shocked, this humble dish, pepper alone is worth eight dollars.

"Your heir, you can make money, which makes the money even more good," Feng Yuanyi praised Duguzhen.

"Where do you take the money you earn and don't spend it?" Duguzhen snorted, quite defending her own heir, and she didn't look like she was shouting and killing in the lobby before the meal.

Although there was only one more Feng Yuanyi in the evening, and several large pots of vegetables were also eaten cleanly, Dugu Jialuo complained that he did not leave soft-shelled turtle soup for the queen mother, Dugu Xinci smiled and said that it was okay, and the kitchen stewed a pot for the queen mother.

After the meal, King Shen proposed to boil snow to make camellia, and in the afternoon he and Dugu Junwang drank tea in the lobby for an afternoon, and he was very fond of camellia.

Feng Yuanyi and Duguzhen also felt that this was an elegant thing and supported it greatly.

Dugu Xinci scoffed at the nightlife of these middle-aged people, and asked the elderly, "Does the Queen Mother play mahjong?" Playing mahjong somewhere"

The queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so naturally she has not heard of this play, and she agrees to learn it dispensably.

Dugu Xinci pulled up Ke Ye Yu Zhi and Fujiwara Ma Yang to set up a stage, Stalin was the youngest, waiting for a replacement.

There are also five rooms and five frames in the lobby of the second courtyard of Mengchengao, which is very spacious, the sky is not yet dark, and seven or eight wrist-thick lamps and candles in the hall have been lit, and the hall is still bright by day.

The mahjong table is placed in the right side room, all kinds of fruit candied pastries and snacks, dazzling, four people sit around, the Queen Mother Dugu is naturally the first, and Dugu Xinci is the first.

As soon as the mahjong rules are talked, the Queen Mother Dugu understands a little, but she doesn't understand completely, it doesn't matter, there is Dugu Jialuo as the military advisor behind her.

After two rounds, seeing that the Queen Mother Dugu had entered the road, Dugu Xinci shouted to bring a colorful head, and the Queen Mother Dugu laughed and scolded this son for being cunning and bullying novices.

Dugu Xinci but quibbled, the novice is the three fires, muffled down the master, and took Feng Yuanyi, the Duke of Qi Guo, as an example, the first time he played the game, he won ten times.

The Queen Mother Dugu naturally doesn't care, but it doesn't matter if Yu Zhi and Fujiwara Mayang, in Dugu's words, it is a local tyrant of Fanbang.

Sure enough, the first game with the lottery head let the queen mother and the card.

Otherwise, how can it be said that Chang'an people are good at gambling, the most respected queen mother of the empire is completely obsessed with the Great Wall on this table after a game or two.

On the coffee table in the lobby, Shen Wang Yan Chengyi, Duguzhen County Wang, and Qi Guogong Feng Yuanyi sat quietly in turn, watching the snow on the tea stove slowly melt until it rolled away, Duguzhen personally made tea, and learned Dugu Xinci's technique There are also seven or eight images, using Dugu Xinci's purple sand teapot and purple sand cup, or Duguzhen County Wang Qiang, which is used on weekdays, including today's afternoon, is used in the porcelain cup, this set of purple sand tea sets, Dugu Xinci is precious.

The three of them are not high-minded talkers, they are silent after a few words, they all drink tea quietly, and make snow tea around the stove on a snowy night, and they want a quiet mood.

Those mahjong rooms are shouting, there is Dugu Jialuo as a secret agent, Dugu Queen Mother naturally wants to lose is difficult, Dugu Xinci simply knocked down the cards, just secretly touched, Dugu Jialuo was embarrassed to blatantly flop.

The two Fanbang escorts didn't have a good life, one is not the lower skin that Dugu Xinci pulls, and the other is how to touch the cards with thick fingers?

In this way, Dugu Xinci stole the opportunity to combine two games.

Dugu Jialuo was very unwilling, but the queen mother who won the Kaiyuan Tongbao said that it was right to win the cards with real skills, and Dugu Jialuo was not allowed to peek again.

Sure enough, there was a good reward for kindness, and the Queen Mother Dugu won two games in a row, and the whole night was a big kill.

Cooking snow by the stove sits at night, stepping on the green donkey is late.

I don't know how much lovesickness, in exchange for two sideburns in spring.
