Luoyang is now Dali Siqing is Luoyang's long-standing minister Zhang Jaw, he is not the prince's person, he can do it impartially, Xiao Ce will naturally fully cooperate.

At the moment, several people who were close to Xiao Ce were sitting in the lobby.

It was Ning Yu who was the first to speak: "Since the crown prince can mention this disciple of Master Qi An, we can start from this point in the future, it is inconvenient to open your jaw to investigate matters other than the case, but you can, second son." ”

King Luoyang is a smart person, and he will not let Xiao Ce intervene in this case for no reason, and there are naturally a lot of twists and turns.

Cheng An on the side frowned and said: "I hate these twists and turns the most to calculate the past, those little monks are really interesting, they usually study the Dharma one by one, but I didn't expect to be able to voluntarily join these disputes." ”

Cheng An really couldn't figure out how someone could rush up to make up for something that a military general found troublesome.

Xiao Ce's eyes immediately sank, and he quickly denied: "They didn't do it voluntarily. ”

Xiao Ce just glanced up, and the guards guarding there quickly walked out and closed the door.

"They already have someone to take over as abbot, and we need to have a suitable person."

The king of Luoyang is not better than back then, the older people are, the softer their ears are, Buddhism subtly affects people's hearts, many of the words they say The king of Luoyang will listen to them more or less, and he has changed the former master Qi'an, Xiao Ce understands that he will naturally not worry, if he changes someone else, he is really a little worried, if this person is an enemy or a friend, he will definitely be able to intervene in Luoyang's state affairs in front of his father.

When there was silence in the lobby, Li Hanning was the first to stand up and said: "When I came to Luoyang from Huai'an, I once met a Mingjue Temple on the road, although Buddhism is also superior, he also has some connections with Luoyang, and it shouldn't be difficult to find him for a favor." ”

The young host had received the favor of the Li Mansion in the past, and Li Hanning was also a member of the Li family, so he naturally moved.

Anyway, Xiao Ce didn't have a suitable candidate at the moment, so he looked at Li Hanning and asked:

"Is that place far away from Luoyang?"

Li Hanning shook his head and said, "It's on the mountain near Luoyang, if you rush over from here, it will take about two hours to go back and forth." ”

Luoyang has been in the news recently, and Xiao Ce still thinks that it is safer for him to pick it up by himself:

"Since it's not far away, I'll pick it up myself."

This one went well, and after Li Hanning expressed his intentions, the host of Dengqing seemed to be quite interested in Master Qi'an's disciples, and as soon as he heard that he might be able to talk about Buddhism, he agreed to follow them to Luoyang.

Seeing that these people are at least about to enter the Luoyang City Gate.

At the door, the soldiers who had changed their guards went to stop them proudly:

"Stand still!"

Li Hanning and Xiao Ce, who were riding in front, didn't want to cause trouble here, so they quickly turned over and dismounted.

The soldiers at the head didn't know Xiao Ce, they just looked at the two people, and then said with some vigilance:

"Who are you two? What are you going to do in Luoyang City? ”

Li Hanning stepped forward sideways and explained, "We are—"

Li Hanning was just about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by the soldier on the other side: "Do you have any diplomas that can enter and exit Luoyang City?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has recently ordered that Luoyang City has not been peaceful recently, it has been closed, everyone is only allowed to enter and not to leave, we don't want to embarrass you, and you don't want to embarrass us too much. ”

When the monk behind him heard this, he also understood what Li Hanning had told him before, the trouble he encountered on this trip was not necessarily small, and he could know that it was true in a few words.

Xiao Ce glanced at Li Hanning, and quietly stepped forward and said:

"Yes, that's our diploma."

He handed over the golden order he had pinned to his waist.

After Xiao Bing took the token, he turned it over, and after taking a closer look, he saw two bright words engraved on it: Xiao Ce.

The little soldier glanced at the person in front of him in disbelief, and after a while he came to his senses and immediately knelt on the ground:

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Ming."

"The subordinates are really damned, they don't know Taishan with eyes."

The soldiers on the side and the people who were waiting to enter the city heard the movement and hurriedly knelt down.

Only the monk and Li Hanning behind him were still standing there motionless.

Xiao Ce looked at them and said without being angry: "Get up." ”

He quietly retrieved his token from the creep's hand.

"You just said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered a strict investigation of the people who came and went, right? Hear you say they seem to care more about people dressed as monks? ”

The little soldier who was arrogant just now, now he was afraid that he had offended the second highness in front of him with that sentence just now, so he stammered and explained:

"It's the crown prince and the prince, who came to the city gate a few days ago to tell us."

For these people, the prince is the teacher of the prince Xiao Sheng, and his meaning is naturally the meaning of the prince, do they dare to obey?

Xiao Ce naturally knew this, and he didn't intend to embarrass these people, but frowned and said, "It's okay, continue to do what you should do." ”

Those people hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Yes." ”

Li Hanning, Xiao Ce and the others slowly walked through the city gate from the main road.

Xiao Ce took Master Dengqing to prepare to go back to the mansion, but along the way, he happened to pass through the main road of Luoyang City, the streets were full of people, the traffic was endless, there were small stalls and vendors on both sides, and a dazzling array of goods were piled aside, even if the city was temporarily closed, the city was always lively.

Dengqing also came to Luoyang City for the first time, and sighed:

"It turns out that this is Luoyang City."

Xiao Ce walked aside, thinking that he was not used to the noise here, after all, the mountain was deserted, and the people were quieter, Xiao Ce looked at the master of Dengqing on the side and asked:

"Is this place much different from what the master imagined?"

While a few people were talking, two children chased and passed by them with something like a sugar gourd in their hands, and they were about to hit them, Li Hanning had already blocked sideways in front of Dengqing and Xiao Ce, but the two children didn't seem to notice, and trotted all the way into the alley on the side.

Deng Qing just watched them run over from a distance, shook his head, and said:

"Da is hidden in the city, everywhere is the same, but unfortunately there are too few places like Luoyang in the upper and lower beams, the corpses in the north are everywhere, and the south is always experiencing wars, if it is more prosperous in the world than in Luoyang City."

Xiao Ce was silent for a while when he heard this, his mood was really far from being comparable to that of ordinary monks, no wonder he could be recommended by Li Hanning personally, and his great effort today was still worth it:

"Here is where my father lives, my father and emperor come down to treat people who study Buddhism like a master, and naturally they will also treat the master, and after a few days and the case is clear, I will definitely write for the master, and ask the master to be my Luoyang national teacher."

Dengqing didn't care about these false names, but he knew the Li family, and he also knew that the second son of Xiao in front of him was a famous lord who could calm the world and create a prosperous world, as long as there were fewer disputes in the world, it would be regarded as a supreme merit for him.

Finally returned to the place where they lived, Xiao Ce and Li Hanning had been out for so long, and it had taken several hours when they came back.

After returning to the door, he met the people left here in Dali Temple, those people seemed to know Xiao Ce, and when they saw him coming from afar, they greeted him:

"Before, my family came to Xiao Ergongzi's house, but I just heard that Xiao Ergongzi went out, since the person has returned, let me wait to see the adult."

The adult they are referring to now is naturally Dali Siqing, Xiao Ce saw them staying here and naturally guessed the cause of the incident, Xiao Ce quietly glanced at Li Hanning on the side, she also worked hard to accompany her for a day, originally planned to let her go back to rest well next time, but Li Hanning had no intention of moving, after walking such a long way, Xiao Ce did not speak, Li Hanning naturally would not shout tired, not to mention that for her who could perform tasks for several days without resting in the past, this distance is still acceptable.

Anyway, since she wanted to follow, Xiao Ce simply didn't speak.

Xiao Ce looked at the catcher of Dali Temple in front of him and said, "I'm going to see you adults." ”

Zhang Jaw watched the two of them come over from a distance, first greeted Xiao Ce, and then said to Li Hanning:

"This is the new General Li in Luoyang City."

Earlier, when he was still in the court, Zhang He heard Xiao Ce canonize the title of general for Li Hanning, there are not many people who can be generals in Luoyang, and even fewer people can be recommended by Xiao Ce personally, Zhang He also believes that she is not an idle person.

Li Hanning is naturally also well versed in the way of officialdom, and immediately saluted the person in front of him: "Hanning has seen Dali Siqing, in the past, I often heard him mention your name by Xiao Ergongzi's side, saying that the top ten ministers of Daliang, Luoyang used to account for three of them, and Lord Zhang was one of them. ”

Zhang Jaw was stunned, but her words were indeed very useful to him, Zhang He never accepted bribes as an official, and every case was done personally for this good reputation.

Zhang Jaw led the way in front and said: "These people don't allow me to go in to check the master's body, after thinking about it, I can only find the second son and let the second son help with this, let's go in first without further ado." ”

Li Hanning and Xiao Ce followed behind, and Xiao Ce lowered his voice and said:

"Why don't I remember mentioning Zhang He to you?"

Xiao Ce naturally never told her in his impression.

But Li Hanning still said quietly: "Of course, I mentioned it, but the second son has too many things on him recently, so it is inevitable that he will be a little forgetful." ”

Xiao Ce was stunned, he, forgetful? Where does this begin?
