Chapter 121: True and False
In the palace of King Chechi, the king was angry at a middle-aged Taoist priest, but the object of his anger was not the other party.
"This matter has now spread all over the royal city, and it won't be long before the whole country will know about it, and Che Chiguo's face will be over!"
The Taoist priest is none other than Feiyun Zhenren, who was named the protector of the country not long ago.
"Your Majesty temporarily rests the wrath of thunder, although this matter has been spread, it is not without a way to clean it up."
"Immortal Chief, quickly tell me the way."
Feiyun Zhenren pondered for a moment: "Originally, this matter was just a catch on the wind for the people, but Your Majesty made a big show to arrest the monks, even if the people didn't believe it originally, they would believe it now." ”
King Che Chi slapped his thigh: "The lesson of the immortal chief is that the widow is reckless, but those monks are really hateful, and not killing them is not enough to vent the anger of the widow!" ”
Feiyun Zhenren said: "Your Majesty, there is a way for the poor road. Not only can it make His Majesty breathe a bad breath, but it can also make the people's hearts turn to His Majesty and completely suppress the arrogance of Buddhism. ”
King Che Chi grabbed Feiyun Zhenren: "Immortal Chang quickly speak, if this matter can be settled, the widow is willing to marry Immortal Chang as brothers with different surnames." ”
Feiyun Zhenren whispered in the king's ear, and finally said: "In this way, not only will the prestige of Your Majesty not be damaged, but it will make the people love the royal family even more." ”
King Chechi nodded: "Since this is the case, the widow will immediately arrange for someone to send someone to do it." All the people in the small Xiangguo Temple are disposed of by the immortal chief. ”
It was already dark when Xue Tianqing entered the city, and he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the groups of monks on the street who were escorted forward: "How many monks are there in Che Chiguo?" ”
The leading soldier smiled: "I don't know this villain, but I have heard that there are more than 10,000 people, and there are more than 2,000 monks in the temples around the royal city alone." ”
"Where are they taken?"
"There are too many monks, and the prison can't be stuffed at all, so I will take them to the barracks first, and then ask and behead them together in two days."
Xue Tianqing said "wow": "Tens of thousands of people were beheaded at the same time, how magnificent, I have never seen it." ”
As soon as the words fell, one of the monks passing by said "bah": "Speaking of us, can you escape death then!" ”
Seeing that the leading soldiers wanted to get angry, Xue Tianqing shook his head and said, "There's no need, they still take us to the camp tonight and guard them together." ”
The soldier hurriedly said: "Elders, you are real Buddhist monks. As long as you follow the villain's words, not only do you not have to go to the execution ground, but you will also be treated as a guest by Your Majesty. ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I have said that I have my own way, little brother, don't worry, you just need to help us take care of the horse's luggage." ”
In desperation, the leading soldiers could only take four people to rush to the camp with other monks.
Entering the gate, Xue Tianqing exclaimed again, because at this time there were no less than 2,000 people gathered in the camp.
Because of the limited space and the anger of King Chechi's departure, these monks were not locked in the camp, but were directly taken to the school military field to be held in the open air, even though it was very cold at night.
Bringing a few people to a secluded corner, the leading soldier looked worried: "Elder, although I know that you are not a mortal, but there are heavy guards here, and there are monks who are good or bad, so it is better to be careful." ”
Xue Tianqing patted the soldier's shoulder: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Looking at Xue Tianqing's hands that were still tied, the soldier said, "Immortal Chief, you are really wronged here. ”
"I don't know my brother's name?"
The soldier hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Don't dare, just call me Han Yan." ”
"You go back first, remember, you must take care of the horses' luggage, I have to pick it up in two days."
Speaking of this, Xue Tianqing came to Han Yan's side: "My horse is not an ordinary horse, but a white dragon in the sky, don't slack off." If you take care of it, it will be good for you. ”
Seeing that the snow was clear and determined to spend the night in the school military field, Han Yan could only give up.
After the soldiers left, Xue Tianqing blew a breath, and four Maza appeared on the ground: "Master, you have to suffer a little sin tonight, so let's spend the night." ”
Sanzang snorted: "What the soldier said just now, why don't you follow it?" It's better than being frozen here. ”
Xue Tianqing smiled, "At this time, because of the Buddhism, you and I belong to the Buddhism, if you stay out of the matter, I am afraid that it is not appropriate." Besides, you don't want to see how many real Buddhas there are in Buddhism, and how many of them are corpse vegetarians? ”
Without waiting for Sanzang to speak again, he suddenly heard a commotion, and then several monks with big shoulders and round waists came straight to the four of them: "Get out of the way!" Give these Maza to Grandpa. ”
While speaking, he also hit Sanzang with his shoulder, if it weren't for Sha Seng using his body to block behind, it is estimated that it would be possible to fall.
Sanzang stood firm and said, "How could a few elders who are disciples of the Buddha Sect behave like this? ”
"What act? I'm going to be beheaded tomorrow, so what else do I want to do? If it weren't for the bald donkey of Xiaoxiangguo Temple, I would have ended up like this? ”
"That bastard, he enjoyed all the blessings of the world, but in the end let us take the blame. If it falls into the hands of the grandfathers, it will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces! ”
"That is, I knew that I was going to be stabbed by this, and what rules and precepts did I keep! There is so much silver in the temple, you can just take some and go out and enjoy it, and now I think about it, I really regret it! ”
Listening to a few people full of complaints, even filthy words, Sanzang frowned: "A few elders don't say that they are also disciples of Buddhism, how can they be so insulting?" ”
One of the most burly monks said angrily: "Can Sven be eaten as a meal, or drunk as water, or can he sleep as a woman?" I wanted to devote myself to Buddhism and have a good time, but now it's good, even I have got in, what else do you want? ”
Sanzang's face was flushed when he heard this, and he just wanted to refute it, but he saw a large number of people at the gate of the school's military field.
After surrounding the monks, the commander waved the flag, and the soldiers began to loosen the bonds, and then ordered them to stand.
When the monks were finished, the general walked up to the general platform and called out to a person casually, asking him if he knew why he was arrested in the camp.
After the other party said that it was because the monk of Xiaoxiangguo Temple hooked up with the princess, the general ordered someone to take him aside with a sinking face, and then called a monk.
Seeing that the ten monks shouted in a row had exactly the same rhetoric, the general sank his face: "You are so bold, you not only intend to assassinate Your Majesty, but also slander the royal reputation, and you will not be able to escape the blame for your death!" You, come out! ”
After speaking, he casually pointed to a monk who had just asked: "Where did you hear the words that just slandered the royal reputation?" ”
The monk fell to his knees: "General, everyone knows about this matter, and I heard it casually." ”
"Have you ever seen what the princess did with her own eyes?"
"How could I possibly see this?"
"That's hearsay? If it's just hearsay, why is it so conclusive? Come on, pull it out and cut it! ”
After speaking, the general did not care about the monk's pleading, but pointed to another person and said, "Tell me where you heard these words!" ”
Seeing that the monk just now was dragged towards the gate by the soldiers, the second monk pointed to the crowd tremblingly and said, "It's Senior Brother Guang'an." ”
"Go and bring Guang'an to me, ask him who he listened to, and I must dig out the people who slander the royal reputation today!"
Seeing that the first monk was immediately dragged out of the gate, Sanzang couldn't bear to say, "Wukong, save him." ”
Without waiting for Xue Tianqing to speak, the burly monk just now snorted: "It's hard to protect yourself, and it's ridiculous to still think about others." ”
Xue Tianqing didn't pay attention to it, but said to Sanzang with a smile: "Master, after this person's hearsay, he wantonly talked to people regardless of the reputation of the national body, which precept do you say this is a violation?" ”
Seeing that Sanzang was speechless, Xue Tianqing smiled again: "Didn't Master hear it?" The general said that the affair between the princess and the monk was a pure rumor, so the specific truth has yet to be clarified. ”
Sha Seng said in a low voice: "What does the senior brother think?" ”
"It's not that I think I can do whatever I want, but what the king of Chechi thinks will happen."
When the soldiers came to the point general platform with the tray containing the heads, the monks in the school military field exclaimed, and some even collapsed directly to the ground.
The remaining nine monks in front of the general stage were even more like chaff, and they knelt down one after another.
It was at this time that the soldiers finally pulled Guang'an out of the crowd.
The general looked at Guang'an, who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Who gave you the courage to slander the royal reputation?" ”
Guang'an kowtowed like a chicken pecking at broken rice: "The general spares his life, and the villain also hears what people say!" ”
"Who the hell is listening to, find out for me!"
Seeing Guang'an trembling and pointing into the crowd, Sanzang was puzzled: "Wukong, why is this?" ”
"Didn't you say it just now, the truth is something else, the so-called princess is not clean is just someone who wants to destroy the royal reputation, look at it, the excitement is still to come."
Half an hour later, there were no less than 100 monks kneeling in front of the platform.
In the end, the spearhead of these people was pointed at Kosangkokuji, because the rumors first spread from there.
At this time, the general's face was covered with frost: "Since it's just hearsay, why are you talking about it?" Do you remember the precepts of Buddhism? ”
Seeing that everyone in the audience bowed their heads and remained silent, the general shouted at Yuanmen: "Bring it up!" ”
When everyone heard the prestige, they saw two soldiers escorting a monk into the school military field, it was Elder Yuantong, the temple supervisor of Xiaoxiangguo Temple.
When Elder Yuantong was brought to the stage, the general asked coldly: "Master Yuantong, all the monks in Wangcheng are here today, and the village elders in the city are also coming. After they arrived, Master Wang told the truth about the cause and effect of the matter, and returned the royal family to a clean slate! ”
At the same time, Elder Yuanzhi, the abbot of Xiaoxiangguo Temple, has been taken to the Feiyun Temple.
There is no one else here except Feiyun Zhenren: "Master, just now Your Majesty has ordered, and you will be personally handled by me." ”
Elder Yuanzhi said expressionlessly, "Dao Elder is like this, isn't it a bit too much?" ”
Feiyun Zhenren laughed: "What the master said is wrong, isn't the person who seduced the princess a monk from Xiaoxiangguo Temple?" Or is it just a myth? ”
Seeing that Elder Yuanzhi was silent, Feiyun Zhenren said again: "I know that the Buddha's relics are in the hands of the master, if the master can hand it over, I will keep the small Xiangguo Temple safe, how about it?" ”
