"Yes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wu Yundi responded with confusion and joy, An Dehai on the side stepped forward with a wooden face and was about to ride with the queen, Wu Yundi grabbed An Dehai, "I said Brother An, what does this lady mean?" It makes me feel good, up and down! What helper? You're helping my brother solve my doubts?! ”
An Dehai shook Wu Yundi away, "How do I know what Niangniang means, you also come to ask me, you can do what Niangniang tells you to do, where can you still make you suffer?" Look at your monkey spirit, you have to get all the good things! Seeing that Wu Yundi was still pulling himself, An Dehai shouted, "Hey, hey, I said Wu Shoubei, what are you doing with a master pulling my slave, don't delay me to serve the queen's mother, I really don't know about this, you, see you back!" Turning around indignantly, he no longer paid attention to Wu Yundi, who was standing stupidly in place.
Tongzhou.
On the ninth day of August in the tenth year of Xianfeng, Tongzhou negotiated.
The palace of the Emperor of Fumo outside the city of Tongzhou is magnificent, and the pine and cypress are sensen. The Emperor of Fu Mo is Guan Yu's title, which is respected and worshiped by the emperor and the people. Buddhism worships Guan Yu began at the end of the Six Dynasties, Taoism worships Guan Yu, seems to have begun in the Northern Song Dynasty, Mingshenzong Wanli 42 years, named it "the Three Realms of the Demon Emperor Shenwei Yuan Zhen Tianzun Guan Shengdi Jun", since then the Guandi Temple, the Demon Palace throughout the country. The east of the palace is two in, and the Ming Dynasty is built and repaired. There are 3 mountain gates, 3 front halls, 3 north and south halls, and 2 ear rooms. There are 3 apsees, the north across the courtyard is the Puji Temple, and the south is the triple courtyard.
A clerk hurriedly bypassed a group of Eight Banners Green Battalion soldiers who stood straight with a stack of posters, and walked into the Puji Temple, the hall had been cleaned up, and several other people wearing official robes from the ninth rank were talking to each other, and the clerk who walked in didn't care to listen to what they said, and saw that a few ashtrays on the long table in the hall had not been placed, and hurriedly stomped his feet: "Ouch, my Buddha!" How are the big brothers? The ministers and monks outside arrived immediately, why is it still like this here, when the time comes, it will be worth it if you lose your errand! To know nowadays. The clerk looked nervously outside, turned his head and lowered his voice again, "You must know that now that the monk king has suffered a defeat, the emperor has decreed that he will be punished." Now he wants to ask him, the general of the defeated army, to come here to deal with the foreign devils to do this situation, I'm afraid that he is not in a good mood now! ”
One of the older clerks in the hall hurriedly waved his hand to the others to hurry up, walked over, took the newspaper in the hand of the person who had just come in from outside, and flipped through it. couldn't help but be slightly stunned, "Why, the foreigners didn't bring troops?" ”
"Hey, you want to bring troops to this place?" A clerk who was hurriedly setting up the table on the side pouted, "Reasoning, speaking of which, I shouldn't raise the enemy's morale and destroy my own prestige, this is the Guandi Temple!" This foreigner has learned to go to the meeting alone! The entourage brought a few and looked outside Tongzhou all day. It's a joke to say that the clerk is still a little bloody, and he put the ashtray on the green satin tablecloth angrily, making a loud noise, and several people are looking over here, "Now we have become the nest of Dongwu!" ”
"Alright." The old man interrupted the grumbling, "Where is our turn to talk about these things, let's just do a good errand, the affairs of the court." Naturally, there are meat eaters to worry about. ”
"National affairs are the responsibility of the husband!" The young man muttered to himself, his voice lowered, "In the past few years of the National Dynasty, where have these yellow-haired and red-haired foreign devils flaunted their might in our realm, how many years have passed since the prosperous era of Kangqian, and now it has become such a situation." The queen's words are really tight on the appetite, national affairs, and the husband is responsible, not to mention that I am a harem woman! It's like this, and the people in the court are not as good as the harem women......"
Everyone was silent, bowed their heads and only did their own work, after a while, the drum music outside was noisy, everyone knew that the minister of the king had arrived, looked at the venue correctly, straightened out the robes, and approached the Puji Temple to greet.
When Zaiyuan, Kuang Yuan and Gui Liang and others got off the sedan chair, Monk Greenqin had already arrived for a while, Gui Liang had not seen Monk Greenqin for a long time, only to see the monk king of the old year when the Son of Heaven offered the prisoner to the Taimiao, and now the monk Greenqin has towering cheekbones, his cheeks are deep, and the corners of his mouth have several bubbles, Gui Liang was startled, and Monk Greenqin knelt down: "Respectfully Saint Ann!" ”
"St. Ann!" Zaiyuan nodded reservedly and saluted, this is the dignity of the minister, and the courtesy is unacceptable. When Monk Lingqin stood up, Zaiyuan arched his hand and said casually: "Monk King, the emperor called you here, just listen to it, nothing else, your temper should be restrained, now is not the time for us to win the battle!" ”
"Patience is the supreme thing in everything, and you must know the allusion of lying down and tasting courage." Kuang Yuan also whispered to the monk Greenqin, "When the time comes, the monk king will look at it, he really can't bear it, turn around and go out, and if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan." ”
Monk Greenqin nodded silently, several people saluted, and then entered the Puji Temple, Zaiyuan had already learned that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had come to report, and the foreigners had not arrived at the negotiation site, but when they entered the venue, they saw that there was no one else in the temple except for a few Sulla, so he snorted coldly and said to Gui Liang unhappily: "This is a barbarian, I don't understand etiquette at all," took out the Western pocket watch in his sleeve and looked at the hour, "It's just that we don't wait for us first, it's at this point, why haven't you come yet," Zaiyuan arrogantly pointed to an official of the Ministry of Rites, " Go and see what's going on! ”
Everyone didn't sit down, they gathered together in twos and threes to whisper, and the prefect of Tongzhou, who had been unable to talk to Zaiyuan, hurriedly stepped forward and pestered Zaiyuan to say a few words, and Zaiyuan, who was originally cold, opened his eyes and laughed, "What's the matter, your mansion also knows how to play?" ”
"It's not as good as the prince's generous house, the slaves are just making a small fuss," the prefect looked flattering, and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites on the side couldn't help frowning, "But this Tongzhou is the boundary where people come and go, there are not many others, there are a lot of rare things," the prefect leaned into Zaiyuan's ear and whispered more and more, "There are a few female Taoists from Mount Tai, who sing good southern songs, and three-inch golden lotus feet, swaying, ecstasy." ”
Zaiyuan's ears pricked up, "This is something to see." ”
"Where don't you dare to flatter the prince, the slave has already prepared, and this fish from Baiyangdian, the best snail green, keep it for the prince to taste the wild fun." (To be continued.) )
