199. Dongying envoys entered Beijing
Heavy rain!
The heavy rain for several days has made the bustling capital look much more depressed.
In the lobby of the Fuji Division in North Town,
Lin Mang put down the official document in his hand, reached out and pinched his eyebrows.
Got up and stood in front of the window, looking at the heavy rain outside the house and frowning.
The rain fell for three days in a row, and the people in all parts of the capital were already miserable.
This is still the capital, and the situation in Kaifeng is even more serious.
Drought, waterlogging, natural and man-made disasters, Beizhen Fusi has three thousand households escorting disaster relief silver to various places.
Recently, the DPRK and China have also been arguing.
News from all over the country continued to be sent to the capital.
"What an eventful time." Lin Mang sighed lightly.
Yan Jue walked from outside the hall and arched his hand: "My lord." ”
Lin Mang glanced back and asked, "How is the assessment of Jinyi Guards in various places?" ”
Yan Jue said respectfully: "The number of applicants is increasing one after another, and there are already four hundred and eighty-four people who have officially passed the assessment in the capital. ”
"More than 100 people have been sent to various places to take up their posts."
Lin Mang said calmly: "It's a little less." ”
When I went to Jiangnan, the assessment of Jinyiwei did not stop, but has been continuing.
This number can be said to be much worse than his expectations.
There are tens of thousands of Jinyi guards, and they are the only power he can hold in his hands at present.
Lin Mang turned around and sat down on the Taishi chair, looked at Yan Jue, and asked, "Recently, you have handed over the task in hand, so let's retreat with peace of mind." ”
"With the relics of the Buddha Gate, if you can cultivate with peace of mind, it will not be difficult to reach the Four Realms."
Yan Jue said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely break through the four realms as soon as possible." ”
Unlike ordinary grandmasters, he absorbed the Buddhist relics, and only needed to digest everything contained in the Buddhist relics, and the realm would naturally improve.
A very important part of the reason why he is stuck in Ming's state of mind is that he has his own ideas.
His only wish was to be able to go further, and as for the Great Grandmaster, he didn't dare to hope for it at all.
Even if he is a Three Realms Grandmaster, he is no longer a weak person in the rivers and lakes.
Lin Mang bowed slightly.
After all, you can't always rely on Jianghu people.
This time, he brought a total of six grandmasters from Jiangnan, two of them, one was the laughing general Li Xiao, and the other was Wang Dong.
These two thieves are first-class, and they may come in handy one day.
As for the other four, they were all the ones who fought for the treasure in the first place.
Among them, the strongest one already has the Yuan God Realm, and the weakest is also the Three Realms Grandmaster.
However, these people did not enter Beijing with him, but were arranged by him in the Qingfeng Sword Sect.
It's not a bad thing to plan ahead.
At this moment, a brocade-clothed guard came and said respectfully, "My lord, the Qintian Prison is asking to see you." ”
"Please come in."
Lin Mang said and motioned for Yan Jue to leave.
Not long after, Sun En, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a wine gourd hanging from his waist, walked in from outside the hall and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Lin." ”
Lin Mang got up and saluted back, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Sun is coming today, but is there something?" ”
Sun En shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Lord Lin is really quick to talk. ”
Lin Mang smiled and poured a cup of tea for Sun En.
In my heart, I sighed that the court deserved to be the court and had a profound heritage.
This Qin Tian Prison Supervisor is a great master.
In fact, since the last time the other party gave away the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Dafa, he has sent someone to understand it.
This supervisor is a Southern Heavenly Master Teaching Heavenly Master, which is one of the branches of Taoism.
It's just that the Southern Heavenly Master Sect is not a Great Dao system, and this school is also special, there are only a few people in each generation, and sometimes only one person.
But this is the elder of the Three Dynasties.
From the time of the Jiajing Dynasty, he served as the supervisor of Qintian.
This position seems to be inconspicuous, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can hold.
Sun En took the teacup, glanced at Lin Mang deeply, and said with emotion: "Lord Lin's talent is really a bit terrifying. ”
Such a young great master, perhaps only recorded in ancient books, Yuan Tiangang of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng and others, right?
Even if it was them, he didn't dare to assert that his talent would definitely be able to surpass Lin Mang.
At the beginning, he also had the idea of recruiting him into the Heavenly Master Sect, but later he noticed that he was covered in blood, and he knew that this person was on a different path from theirs.
Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, calm and peaceful, but this is not a peaceful master.
Sun En took a sip of tea, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "This tea is not bad." ”
Lin Mang smiled and said, "I robbed it when I searched the house before." ”
The corners of Sun En's mouth twitched, put down the teacup, and said, "I came here today, and there is indeed a thing. ”
"Since Lord Lin has broken through the realm of heaven and man, he must know about some secrets, right?"
Lin Mang was stunned.
Sun En looked around and didn't speak, but the words came into Lin Mang's ears.
"Lord Lin should know the realm of Tongtian, the old Tao can tell you that this realm does exist, and there is also a person in my court who has stepped into it."
Lin Mang was stunned, his mind turned, and he was surprised: "Who?" ”
"Liu Bowen!"
Lin Mang's eyes raised slightly, but it was not as he expected.
When he started talking about Sun En, the first person that came to his mind was Liu Bowen.
From the moment he first saw the book, he had a guess.
Being able to describe many things so clearly doesn't feel like hearsay.
Sun En said in a deep voice: "The reason why Lao Dao told Lord Lin this news is because Liu Bowen once left a secret scroll, which recorded a secret place, which is rumored to contain a treasure, and there is a secret of ascension. ”
"Ascension?" Lin Mang frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Is there really such a thing?" ”
Sun En stroked his beard and smiled, "Lord Lin should know that the Taoist feather is ascending, and the flesh is a skin after all. ”
"Is what you see dead really dead?"
Lin Mangtong's hole is miniaturized.
He instantly understood what Sun Eun meant.
Genshin!
The physical body is dead, but it does not mean that the original god is really dead.
The Taoist saying of feathering and soaring, and Buddhism's nirvana, is actually the same truth.
Of course, no one knows whether it is really a ascension or not.
He had killed the Grandmaster of the Six Realms, but if he died, he was dead, and the Yuan Shen was also buried together.
It's just that Sun En is a Taoist after all, and the temptation of ascension is too great for him.
He was more curious about the treasure.
Fly or not, he doesn't care.
Sun En said with a smile: "The Great Grandmaster is a god who melts heaven and earth, borrowing the power of heaven and earth, and the realm of heaven and earth has been able to control the power of heaven and earth, and turn into his own heaven and earth, so what about this realm?" ”
Lin Mang took a sip of the teacup, looked at Sun En, and asked, "Lord Sun has said so much, what do you want to do?" ”
"Cooperation!"
Sun En said directly: "This thing should be in the palace arsenal, and Lord Lin has the best chance." ”
The palace arsenal was not accessible at all, but he felt that Lin Mang should have this opportunity.
That's the real purpose of his coming today.
Lin Mang pondered for a moment, smiled and raised his glass.
The meaning is self-evident.
Sun En's face was full of smiles, and he got up and arched his hand: "Then the old way won't bother Lord Lin." ”
Seeing Sun En leave, Lin Mang fell into a busy situation again.
He wanted to enter the palace arsenal, but who didn't have a chance.
……
South Shaolin,
After all, the news of the capital spread all over the world.
How could such a sensational news be hidden.
What's more, it's about Shaolin.
"When! While! While! ”
Melodious bells rang.
In the Buddha hall, a group of monks sat cross-legged, gently reciting the Sutra of the Past Birth, and doing rituals.
With a sad face, he pushed open the door to the top floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
"Uncle!"
He knelt on the ground and said sadly, "Senior brother...... Passed away. ”
Xuan Ming, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, recited the Buddha's name softly, a trace of ripples appeared in his empty eyes, and said softly: "All this is the choice to end." ”
"Then Lin Mang can die?"
Hearing this, Li Yin suddenly said with anger on his face: "No! ”
"Recently, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that he has stepped into the realm of Arhats."
Rarely, Xuan Ming's face showed a shocked expression, his eyes were bright, and his whole body released an extremely terrifying momentum.
Because he was taken by this momentum, his face was full of surprise and horror.
The entire Shaolin knows that the former abbot is notoriously soft, but this momentum is even stronger than the original senior brother.
Because he was silent for a moment, as if suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Not only that, but that devil has spread my Shaolin seventy-two stunts to the rivers and lakes, and now my Shaolin stunts have begun to circulate throughout the rivers and lakes." ”
"Uncle Shi, he's cutting off my Shaolin boy's inheritance!"
Because of the roar of filial piety, his face was full of anger.
Xuan Ming's old eyes suddenly rose with murderous intent, and the Buddha light around him was magnificent, exuding an amazing aura.
Soon he quietly disappeared and recited a Buddha name.
"Amitabha." Xuan Ming recited a Buddha name lightly and sighed: "My Shaolin has been closed to the mountain, how can I be born." ”
Maybe he shouldn't have let the end go to the capital in the first place.
The dignified Shaolin, a thousand-year-old faction, has been bullied so far.
"That's it." Xuan Ming said softly: "I'll write a letter and send it to Northern Shaolin." ”
"I can only ask them to come forward in this matter."
Now that the mountain has been closed, if you go out of the mountain at this moment, it will be a violation of the rules.
Unless all monks can be removed from Shaolin, but if so, is Shaolin still Shaolin?
The end can be used as an excuse to remove the name from Shaolin, but if it is done again, it will be a provocation to the imperial court.
"Uncle Shi, won't you avenge your brother's revenge?"
Because of the unwillingness on his face.
The four great monks of Shaolin seem to have become a joke at this moment.
It has completely become the laughing stock of the rivers and lakes.
Xuan Ming looked down at the cause and said calmly: "From today onwards, you will go to the Demon Suppression Tower to meditate." ”
"Yes......"
He was stunned and walked out unwillingly.
Xuan Ming's deep eyes looked out of the window, and said quietly: "The Buddha also has the appearance of angry eyes." ”
"Amitabha."
……
Time passed quietly,
The matter of the seventy-two stunts soon spread in the rivers and lakes.
In just half a month, it has been known to everyone.
Even many Jianghu people woke up one night and found that there were many more people selling Shaolin stunts on the streets and alleys.
In fact, all along, the big families and famous families have firmly controlled the inheritance of the exercises.
Now that Shaolin stunts are spreading, it has given many Jianghu people a chance.
As we all know, if there are people outside Shaolin who practice Shaolin exercises, they will all be abolished.
There are many lay disciples who have come out of Shaolin, but none of their descendants have practiced Shaolin martial arts, which is precisely for this reason.
Even if it is known that Shaolin Gongfa will be remembered by Shaolin after practicing it, there are still many people who take risks.
As for the people who sell the exercises, they are naturally Jinyi guards from all over the country.
These stunts are copies of rubbing.
Jinyiwei can also take advantage of this to increase the amount of money and reduce financial pressure.
As the exercises spread, the name of the "sword god" on the rivers and lakes also spread more widely.
……
North Town Fusi,
Looking at the secret report just sent, Lin Mang smiled and said, "This group of bald donkeys can really bear it." ”
Even so, no one in the entire Southern Shaolin came out of the mountain.
"Send someone to keep an eye on North Shaolin."
Lin Mang smiled coldly.
It is inevitable that Southern Shaolin will not really sit idly by and watch the stunt legend.
One two Buddhas, these two Buddhas are not a guide to Northern Shaolin, but refer to the Western Regions Tantra, another school of Buddhism.
Since the Tantric sect failed to compete with the Central Plains Buddhism for the Taoist system, they went away from the territory, and some Tantric people entered the grassland.
Since Southern Shaolin does not come forward, it will inevitably invite Northern Shaolin to come forward.
If Shaolin really dies down, then it will not be Shaolin.
Lin Mang opened an official document and asked, "What about the situation in the lecture hall?" ”
Tang Qi said respectfully: "There are already many people here, but their strength is average. ”
Lin Mang said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry, take your time." ”
He can't be a fat man by eating in one bite, he has enough time.
At this moment, a brocade guard came, holding a fold in his hand, and said respectfully: "My lord, the fold from the palace." ”
"In the palace?"
Lin Mang was slightly surprised, stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it casually, and said suspiciously: "Dongying's envoy? ”
As mentioned in the memorabilia, a group of envoys from Dongying are about to enter Beijing to pay tribute, and they will arrive in the capital in a few days.
The Ministry of Rites asked the Jinyi Guard to send someone to meet the escort.
After all, it is a tribute from foreign ministers, and it should still be given corresponding decency.
The Son of Heaven did not come forward, and this task fell to the Son of Heaven's pro-army, Jinyiwei, which can be regarded as showing the grandeur of the kingdom.
If it was before, the Ministry of Etiquette would directly order Jinyiwei to go, and Jinyiwei could only obey orders.
But now that Lin Mang is the envoy of Jinyi Wei, the people in the Ministry of Rites obviously know that Lin Mang's actions are domineering, so they naturally dare not be the same as before.
Lin Mang flipped through the folds, put it down casually, and said, "You can send a general flag to bring people to the next level." ”
Seeing this fold, it reminded him of the little man Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
I'm afraid that this time to pay tribute to Beijing has something to do with it.
Tang Qi bowed down and quickly went to make arrangements.
……
Outside the capital,
A huge group of people slowly moved along the official road.
Around the procession, there was a column of sergeants guarding them.
Inside the carriage, Fujido Gaohu glanced out, his eyes showing fire.
Along the way, he saw the splendid rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty and became more and more fascinated.
Soon, a violent sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.
The sound of horses' hooves is like thunder!
A column of brocade guards galloped from the official road.
The officials who went to accompany him saw Jinyiwei and hurriedly bowed.
Now in Beijing, Jinyiwei is in the limelight, and ordinary officials have to give some face when they see Jinyiwei now.
It was Wang Dasheng who led people to come this time.
Since passing the assessment, he has stayed in the capital and has been promoted to the general flag.
Tang Qi had already investigated everyone's situation, so he naturally knew the details of Wang Dasheng, and naturally took more care of him.
And this task, Tang Qi also handed it over to Wang Dasheng.
"Beizhen Fusi, the general banner king has a big victory, and he came on the order of the Zhenfu envoy!"
Inside the carriage, Fujitang Gaohu frowned slightly.
He also knows a little about Daming, and now that he hears about Wang Dasheng's position, he can't help but feel a little more angry in his heart.
As soon as the words fell, one of the officials accompanying him in front of him said with a dissatisfied face: "We are foreign envoys, is this how the dignified Ming treats foreign envoys?" ”
"Is this the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty?"
The words seem calm, but in fact they imply sarcasm.
Now that Toyotomi Hideyoshi almost dominates Dongying, his subordinate officials are naturally much more arrogant, not to mention that they are foreign envoys.
Moreover, this person was born in the Fujido family, and his identity is extraordinary in Dongying.
The accompanying officials of the Ministry of Rites looked embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
After all, it was a foreign envoy, and it was indeed a bit faceless to send a general flag to come.
But now it's Jinyiwei, and it's hard for him to say anything, or he doesn't dare to say anything.
Wang Dasheng glanced at everyone casually, and said, "Do you still want us to greet us in person?" ”
"As it should be!" Fujido Yoshiki said proudly.
Everyone's expressions were faintly unkind.
"Phew!" Wang Dasheng sneered, and said unceremoniously with disdain: "You are also worthy!" ”
"Let's go!"
Wang Dasheng tugged on the reins and led the crowd to ride away.
