Chapter 30 Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
Of course, Zen Master Yuanjing knew that when Liu Gonggong and Cao Gonggong sang and harmonized, they were not unkind, and they were called searching, but they actually wanted to fish in troubled waters after entering the mountain gate.
"No." Zen Master Yuanjing refused without hesitation, and said loudly: "Zen Buddhism is a pure place for Buddhism, and it really can't accommodate so many people, and I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Huh." Gonggong Liu sneered: "The old monk didn't dare to let our family go into the mountains to search, could it be that he was a thief?" I'm afraid that our family will find someone who assassinated you in this temple?! ”
"Definitely." Zen Master Yuanjing shook his head and replied: "It's just that the mountain gate has its own rules, and my Zen sect has always been pure and safe from the world, so as not to provoke red dust." ”
"Now you are just relying on a trumped-up charge to break into the mountain gate with thousands of stubborn armor soldiers, which is really unruly."
"Even if this matter is said to His Majesty, it is unreasonable."
Yuanjing Zen Master's words are already a bit threatening, and they are also a warning he issued: Zen Buddhism is not a small sect that allows others to bully, but a sect that really has a thousand-year-old heritage.
Zen Buddhism can stand for thousands of years, in addition to the purpose of seclusion and Buddhism believers all over the world, it is also indispensable to the permission of the ruling class.
They are different from ordinary Jianghu sects, and they can really go straight to the sky.
"Oh?" Father-in-law Liu raised his eyebrows and said with disdain: "The master is threatening our family? ”
"Someone in your Zen sect intercepted and killed my factory guard, and you, as the head of Zen Buddhism, instead of handing over the murderer, deliberately sheltered the murderer, this is already a capital crime of rebellion, even if you make trouble with His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Our family advises you to know the current affairs, so as not to destroy this thousand-year-old court!"
Gonggong Liu no longer concealed it, and completely exposed his purpose.
Now it can be said that the two sides have a showdown, and Liu Gonggong and others rely on the emperor's trust and insist on breaking through the mountain gate.
It is also impossible for the Yuanjing Zen Master to let them enter the door no matter what, otherwise the reputation of this thousand-year-old sect of Zen Buddhism will be ruined.
The two sides have their own insistence, but neither dares to make the first move.
Gonggong Liu knew the status of Zen Buddhism in the hearts of Buddhist believers in the world, so he naturally didn't want to risk the world's condemnation.
Zen Master Yuanjing didn't want to conflict with the imperial court and was charged with rebellion.
The scene froze for a moment, until the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.
Several people on the field looked sideways, and the general in armor shouted angrily at his subordinates: "Without my military order, who would dare to ride a horse here?!" ”
Where did the subordinates know who was coming, and they shook their heads and said that they didn't know either.
Gonggong Liu and Gonggong Cao also glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of doubt in each other's eyes, and the only four blockers under their hands were also confused.
It stands to reason that now is the critical moment of their confrontation with Zen Buddhism, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes will definitely not dare to get involved, and the surrounding government soldiers are under their control, who dares to come at this time?
Their doubts were quickly cleared, and with the sound of horses' hooves, which became clearer and faster, a loud voice came from afar:
"I am Zhang Renfeng, the son of Zhang Haiduan, the first assistant of the dynasty!"
"In accordance with the Holy Commandment, I came here with Shang Fang's sword to kill the thief!"
What?!
Holy Commandment?!
Shang Fang Sword?!
Kill the eunuch?!
How is this possible!
That Gonggong Liu watched His Majesty grow up and won His Majesty's trust, how could His Majesty order him to be killed?!
But Zhang Renfeng, who came on a horse, was clearly holding the Shang Fang horse sword given by the Holy Emperor, and he had the right to cut first and then play!
This is a gift from the Emperor, and it can't be faked!
In other words, the emperor really ordered the eunuchs to be killed?!
"General Wang, what now?" An adjutant looked at the armored general in front of him and asked, and from time to time glanced at Gonggong Cao and Gonggong Liu next to him.
General Wang also knew that the stakes were high, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while: on the one hand, he was the overseer of the East and West Factory who was trusted by His Majesty, and on the other hand, he couldn't afford to offend Shang Fang, who was given by the emperor!
Seeing that the army did not move, Zhang Renfeng raised the sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "The Holy Emperor gave Shang Fang the sword to cut the horse here!" The armies are not yet quick to give way! ”
"Could it be that you can't resist the decree!"
As soon as these words came out, all the sergeants looked left and right, you look at me, I look at you, they can't understand that they are obviously here to arrest the thief who assassinated the important ministers of the court, why they are about to become a thief all of a sudden.
"General Wang!" The deputy general looked at the Shang Fang sword held high by Zhang Renfeng, and said urgently: "That's Shang Fang's horse sword, it can't be faked!" Hurry up and give the order! ”
"Otherwise, we will commit the crime of rebellion against the decree and disobey the order, and we will be connected to the nine clans!"
"Yes! Checkmate! Get out of the way of the sergeant! The other lieutenants also said in unison when they saw the bright sword.
General Wang weighed it again and again, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Order the sergeant to get out of the way, but you must not act rashly." ”
The situation was still uncertain, and he did not want to get into trouble with the two overseers, so he had to leave a little room for maneuvering, so he only ordered to give way, and did not let the sergeant arrest the thief.
As soon as he gave an order, all the troops avoided one after another, making way for Zhang Renfeng.
Zhang Renfeng took the sword of Shang Fang and rode the horse and quickly came to the gate of Zen Mountain.
"Master, be polite." Zhang Renfeng nodded at Zen Master Yuanjing.
Zen Master Yuanjing also folded his hands and bowed in return.
Then, Zhang Renfeng turned around on his horse, raised the sword in his hand, looked at General Wang and said loudly: "The imperial gift Shangfang sword is here, and the eunuch is killed by the holy command, why doesn't General Wang do it?!" ”
General Wang looked at the sword in Zhang Renfeng's hand, and was sure that it was the Imperial Gift Shangfang Horse Sword that could be cut first and then played, and he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: All the troops obey the order, follow the instructions of the saint, kill the eunuchs, and line up!
As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers who originally surrounded the Zen Mountain Gate instantly changed their formation, surrounded the two overseers of Cao Liu and the four blockers, and hundreds of strong crossbows were facing the six of them, as long as General Wang gave an order, ten thousand arrows were enough to shoot them into hedgehogs.
"It can't be!" Gonggong Liu looked at the strong bows and crossbows that turned to him, and roared fiercely: "Impossible! Our family grew up watching His Majesty! Your Majesty can't kill me! No way! ”
He completely lost his grace and indifference, and roared with a shrill roar, and his already sharp voice became even more harsh.
"It's you! It was you who falsely preached the oracle! It must be you who are falsely preaching the oracle! Your Majesty will not kill me! Your Majesty will not kill me! ”
Zhang Renfeng looked at Gonggong Liu, who seemed to have lost his mind, and said contemptuously: "Eunuch! You've got it! ”
"The two overseers and the six heads of your East and West Factories went out of Beijing without saying anything about it, and they even dared to mobilize the government soldiers without an order, do you know that these two are capital crimes of killing heads!"
Gonggong Liu couldn't listen to Zhang Renfeng's words at all, and only muttered: This is impossible! It's fake!
Of course, the reason behind it is indeed not as high-sounding as Zhang Renfeng said.
The emperor did not order them to be killed because they went out of Beijing and mobilized the government soldiers without permission, after all, this Liu Governor did have a lot to do with the emperor, and these two serious crimes were naturally capital crimes for others, but they were not fatal for him.
The reason why the emperor ordered them to be killed was that they left the capital in order to snatch Rama's body.
Naturally, the emperor didn't care about the martial arts implied on Rama's body, those were just the kung fu of ten enemies practiced by his subordinates, and he practiced the Son of Heaven technique to rule all the people in the world!
But when he learned from Zhang Hai that Rama's internal strength could make up for the shortcomings, he had already condemned Liu Gonggong to death.
Why can eunuchs be trusted by the emperor?
In addition to growing up with the emperor since childhood and staying by the emperor's side every day, the most important thing is that they have no queen!
Without a queen, no matter how big the ambition is, there is no point.
Except for the emperor, no one would support a eunuch without a queen.
But now, these eunuchs want to become real men!
How could the emperor not condemn them to death?!
How?
What do you want to do as a eunuch turned man?
Want to stab?
Want to be an emperor?!
Or do you want a cholera harem?!
No matter which one it is, the emperor will never tolerate it.
In front of the emperor's throne and royal majesty, father and son can turn against each other, let alone a eunuch?
As for why Zhang Haiduan knew the mystery of Rama's internal strength and told the emperor, of course, it was Lu Qing's handiwork.
He asked Zeng Jing to explain everything in the letter handed over to Zhang Haiduan, and asked Zhang Haiduan to enter the palace to meet the emperor immediately after receiving the letter, and inform the emperor of the reason for the matter.
This is Lu Qing's plan to make the bottom of the kettle.
What these eunuchs rely on most is not the identity of the overseer or the factory duke, let alone advanced martial arts, but the trust of the emperor, which is the capital of their wanton behavior.
Without the Emperor's trust, Overseer? Factory company? It's just hairless eunuchs!
