Chapter 206: Nothing is possible
Meng Cang's battle report was not too deceitful.
It's too big, even if he wants to hide it, he may not be able to hide it.
After all, not all the people he brought were loyal to him.
Therefore, he did not dare to do anything to deceive the king.
However, when people are in danger, they will always unconsciously seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Although Meng Cang did not hide the slaughter of the city, he was sharp in the words of the report.
The idea of breaking the city was given by the master of empty purification, and Meng Cang started to make an article on this.
He thought that Master Kongjing was famous in the government and the opposition, although he did not become an official, but he was deeply trusted and respected by the emperor.
Therefore, a little bit of blame for the culprit should leave some breathing room for yourself.
In the face of life and death, Meng Cang couldn't care about what kind of respect for teachers.
If he doesn't have his life alive, how can he talk about respecting his teacher?
Besides, his words were not wrong.
The reason why Yaodu was able to be broken was indeed the idea of the Master of Empty Purity.
It's just that he wrote about the slaughter of the city after that.
In this way, the two things seem to be connected, and at first glance, ordinary people will think that Meng Cang's order to slaughter the city may also be instructed by the Master of Empty Purity.
However, Meng Cang ignored the previous emperor's respect and trust in Master Kongjing.
After receiving Meng Cang's battle report, the first emperor was furious and immediately summoned Master Kongjing to the palace to meet him.
After Master Kongjing was ordered to enter the palace, the first emperor showed him the battle report of Meng Cang.
When the Master of Empty Purification saw it, he vomited blood.
The first emperor respected his master as a human being, and knew that it was impossible for the master to instruct Meng Cang to order the slaughter of the city, and when he saw that the master was so angry that he vomited blood, he was even more convinced of his judgment.
Therefore, he immediately asked the imperial doctor to come and treat the master.
No, the master knelt down to stop the emperor.
That's what the master said to the emperor at that time.
"The grass people don't kill Beren, but Boren died because of the grass people, the grass people are really guilty, please allow the emperor to let the grass people die to comfort the dead!"
The master of air purification wept blood every word, mourning people's hearts.
Naturally, the first emperor could not agree.
Not to mention, the first emperor was not a tyrannical person, and Nanzhao sent troops this time just to help Youguo, but now Meng Cang ordered to slaughter the people of half of the city of Chen Guoyao, which is really not good to say.
It's not good to hear, it's not good, on the cusp of this storm, but the emperor can't admit this mistake.
Since ancient times, as long as there is a war, there will inevitably be casualties.
If there is no bloodshed, then it is still war.
Meng Cang's order to slaughter the city was wrong, but he slaughtered the people of Chen State, not Nanzhao's own people.
As the king of a country, the emperor was deeply influenced by the way of the emperor, and understood that at this time, he could not take an unclear position.
He was afraid that if he severely punished Meng Cang, it would cause the generals to be cold and dissatisfied, so even if he knew that Meng Cang's move was inhumane, he still couldn't blame him heavily.
Since Meng Cang can't be blamed, then the Master of Empty Purity can't be blamed.
Therefore, the Master of Empty Purity wants to apologize for his sins, and the first emperor naturally can't agree.
Moreover, in order to fear that after the master of empty purity left the palace, he would apologize for his crimes, and the first emperor took great pains to treat the master.
Even in the end, even the means of threats were not hesitated to be used.
It was at this time that the Master of Empty Purity had the idea of escaping into the empty door.
There was no hope of living, he couldn't even die autonomously, and he felt full of sins, and three days later, the master begged the first emperor to allow him to leave home.
It is better to become a monk than to tell the world that you will die to apologize for your sins.
The first emperor still respects the master of empty purity, and there is no way to embarrass the master so much, and now that the master is bent on entering the empty door, it is not easy to stop it.
So, it was answered.
Since then, the master has been in Hongji Temple, and the Dharma name is empty.
As soon as you enter the Buddha's door, the mundane past has nothing to do with the Master of Empty Purity.
Master Kongjing practiced in retreat at Hongji Temple for three years, but he did not see anyone.
In three years, there are so many things that can happen.
For example, Meng Cang, who was not seriously responsible, was disturbed by the dreams of the undead day and night, and he could not bear the suffering, and died of resentment.
As soon as Meng Cang died, the matter of Yaodu became a forbidden secret, and the first emperor personally issued a gag order to prevent the subjects of Nanzhao from discussing this matter again.
Although the mouth of Youyou is the most difficult to block, as time goes by, no matter how many rumors are said, there will always be a day when new rumors will be covered up.
Time is the best medicine.
No matter how difficult the scar is, over time, it will always scab over, fall off, and heal again.
Meng Cang apologized with his body, who could hold him accountable for anything?
The Master of Empty Purification also escaped into the empty door and no longer set foot in the red dust.
Until the death of the first emperor, no one has ever mentioned the incident that happened in Yaodu.
The new emperor ascended the throne, the power of the court changed, and the master of empty purification, the great Confucian master who was famous as the emperor, was gradually forgotten by the newcomers.
And a small number of old people always mention the Master of Empty Purification, always with regret and regret.
No matter how sorry it is, no matter how sorry it is, some things are irreparable.
Later, although there were many families who went to Hongji Temple in person and wanted to invite Master Kongjing to teach the children and grandchildren of the family, Master Kongjing did not even see anyone.
At that time, Master Kongjing was already a famous monk in Hongji Temple.
Naturally, no one dared to force him.
Therefore, they all had to go home in a huff.
Over time, there were fewer people who went up to the mountain to apprentice, and later, there were almost no more.
Therefore, it is actually very rare for Lu Zheng to go up the mountain with the old prince back then, and he is fortunate enough to see the face of the master of air purification.
Perhaps, if the old prince had not died unexpectedly on the battlefield, with his friendship with the Master of Empty Purity, he might really be able to let Lu Zheng worship this master.
But there are not so many possibilities for everything.
The old prince died on the battlefield, and the master of empty purification did not agree to accept Lu Zheng as an apprentice at the beginning.
Because of this, the Lu family did not take Lu Zheng to visit the teacher again.
probably felt that even if he went, it would be useless to do it, so it was better to invite a personal master to Lu Zheng to teach his homework well.
After all, as the only healthy male in the Lu family's lineage, Lu Zheng was pinned on the high hopes of the entire Lu family.
If Lu Zheng's uncle and father hadn't died in battle, perhaps, Lu Zheng would not have been so valued as he is today.
But things have happened, and what Lu Zheng is now carrying on his shoulders is not only the rise and fall of the Lu family?
There is also the Lu family who cultivated it single-handedly, the rise and fall of the Zhenbei Army!
At a young age, he has carried so much, An Sheng doesn't know, has Lu Zheng ever felt tired?
As far as she could see, she should be tired.
With such a big burden on their shoulders, who can not get tired?
Lu Zheng is a rare general, which can be seen from the fact that he can command a small battle at the age of thirteen and has achieved good results.
However, if you want to become a real amazing handsome talent, Lu Zheng is still a little worse. 210
