I went out of Tingtao Pavilion, summoned Hardy, Ning Boyang, and ordered the captains of the headquarters, and when I said that I was going to find the prince of Ning Wang, Ning Boyang unconsciously showed a look of surprise, and said, "What are we looking for them for?" ”

I said: "The winter solstice is coming, and the vassal kings everywhere are not allowed to stay in Beijing, this is the rule, this prince of King Ning has been in Beijing for more than half a year, so the cabinet adults want them to leave Beijing." ”

Ning Boyang smiled dumbly and said, "Everyone is a relative of the emperor, these adults are really nosy!" Then he asked, "Is there a constitutional decree?" I nodded and said, "Xue Baihu has it in his hand, let's go see him." Ning Boyang couldn't help muttering: "This thing is something that offends people, let him do it well, but it's us again?" ”

Having said that, they still got on the horse with us, went out of the Zhenfu Division, and went to the Berlin Temple in the east of the city where the prince of Ning lived and lived. This Berlin temple sits in the north and faces south, from the south to the north is the mountain gate, the Tianwang Palace, the Yuanju Xingjue Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Vimo Pavilion a total of five courtyards. The east and west sides of the central axis are side halls, and the layout of the whole temple is neat and rigorous, and all the buildings are built on tall brick and stone foundations. In front of the temple stands a tall brick shadow wall, carved with exquisite patterns. The Daxiong Treasure Hall is the main building of the whole temple, and there is a huge horizontal plaque hanging in the middle of the eaves, and the book "Wan Gu Berlin" is written. There are three Buddhas and seven wooden lacquered Buddha statues in the hall. There is a large bronze bell in the east side hall, and the high bell body is engraved with the scripture "Pure Land Curse of the Past Life". Vimo Pavilion, self-contained courtyard, is a double-storey building, there are wing towers built on the east and west sides, the west of the temple is the palace courtyard, and Zhu Gongchun, the son of King Ning, lives here.

Half an hour later, we flew to arrive, but found that the gate of the temple, guarded, idlers and other people are difficult to enter, but the nearby streets, parking many warm sedan chairs or horses, sedan chair drivers and grooms talk in twos and threes. We were very puzzled, I don't know what happened, the brocade guard who took care of it turned out to be Lou Feng who had just raised the general flag, we got off the horse and saluted each other, Lou Feng was a little surprised, and asked: "Brother Zhang, why are you here?" I looked around, but I didn't see Xue Shen, and said, "Assigned by Ji Qianhu to replace you, why is Xue Baihu not here?" As he spoke, he took out Ji Lifan's token.

Lou Feng smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "That master, go in to see the excitement, let me wait outside." "I have been here before, and there are more than 20 monks and monks. Since Xue Shen was inside, he should go to inform him, but he shook his head, so I could only go in and find him, so I asked Ning Boyang to lead people to deploy around, and I led Hardy and the two lieutenants to go in. Lou Feng reminded on the side: "That master has a big temper, you have to be more careful." ”

I nodded, I only have a few encounters with Xue Shen on weekdays, and often he ignores our greetings. God knows that such a master is coming to Beizhen Fusi, and no one dares to say anything.

Entering the mountain gate, it is the Tianwang Palace, and several small monks are sweeping the floor. Seeing us coming in, he hurriedly dodged to avoid it, but he saw Wuxin leading two monks to come, and as he walked, he said, "This is the realm of Buddhism, how can you let the singer sing here?" And there is no more reason. The monk next to him said: "We all understand the truth, but the family is the prince, and we can't control it!" ”

"Hey, I don't know what the wind is, and I brought such a little prince here. Hurry up and go to the Sanglu Division, please come to Master Rufeng! Wuxin sighed, but when he saw me, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What kind of wind is blowing Lord Zhang here today?" I hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Master, I was ordered to come here on a business trip and disturb your temple!" ”

Wuxin said: "Could it be that you are here to see the little prince?" I nodded, Wuxin looked bitter, shook his head helplessly, and said, "There are a lot of people here today, Master Zhang can go to the courtyard to have a look." ”

"Master, why are you so unhappy?"

"Hey, Buddha Gate Pure Land, some people come every day, my lord, what do you say? Hey, let's not talk about it, my lord, let's go and have tea at the monk's house another day. ”

Wuxin left helplessly, I naturally understood his distress, I heard that this little prince, occupy the west courtyard, spend every day drinking and not talking, and often make some dramas to sing, and even more, also invited some Taoist priests in, what to do the puja, make the Berlin Temple smoky. But the family is a little prince and has a noble status, so what can these monks do.

We passed through the Vimo Pavilion, which was the courtyard, and the door was already a subordinate of King Ning, and as soon as we went up the steps, someone shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?" This is where His Royal Highness King Da Ming Ning lives, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. ”

Hardy flashed his waist card, the other party snorted, and said, "I'll go and tell you if I let you in?" ”

After a while, a housekeeper ran out, claiming to be Liu Ji, the housekeeper of Ning Wangfu, and said with a smile: "It was Zhang Zongqi and Ha Xiaoqi, please come in quickly!" He reprimanded the man just now: "This is the master of Jinyiwei, who is here to protect the little prince, I really don't know what to do." ”

I smiled and waved my hand, "Xue Baihu is here?" Liu Ji said: "Here, here, come early in the morning, and you will see the magic of the zodiac chief of Longhu Mountain in a while." "I laughed in my heart, this Xue Baihu is really amazing, he actually came here to see this.

After a while, we were ushered into a large hall, which was very warm, and the windows were blocked by thick cotton curtains, and charcoal was lit all around the hall, so it was very warm. There are several big oil lamps hanging on the top of the hall, the whole hall is shining, there is a wooden platform in the middle of the hall, and there is a circle of high and low wooden collapses all around, people can sit on it, and it does not affect each other's view. There are a lot of people here, looking at the costumes, most of them are the children of the eunuchs in Beijing, they are sitting around the wooden slump, talking to each other, and turning their eyes to the door from time to time, as if they are waiting for someone,

Our arrival attracted the attention of the people in the temple, and they turned away from the disappointment. When Xue Shen saw us, he sat next to the door, and he turned his head again. Seeing that he didn't want to ignore us, I had to step forward and salute: "Lord Xue! ”

"What are you coming from?" Xue Shen said coldly, staring at the wooden platform, without even looking at me.

"On the orders of Lord Ji, come and replace Lord Xue, Lord Xue, you can go back, and leave it to us here."

"Hehe, what is this called, it was just arranged in the morning, and it changed its mind in a blink of an eye?" Xue Shen was a little angry.

"My subordinates really don't know why, they just came here by order!" As he spoke, I took out Ji Lifan's order arrow, Xue Shen glanced at me, looked at me again, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Zhang, you didn't go to arrest that Liu Taixi, why did you come to replace me again so quickly?" You're busy enough for a day, isn't there no one in Beisi, but you're coming alone? ”

I heard the sarcasm in his words, smiled bitterly in my heart, and briefly explained the situation of Murong Zhao's coming to calm the Division, saying that I came here on Murong Zhao's orders.

Xue Shen's face softened slightly, and said, "I see, you are also hard." Come on, sit down, there will be a mage here, let's see the excitement. ”

Where did I dare to sit, and said in a low voice: "Lord Xue, we all have official business, how dare we delay!" Xue Shen looked disdainful, looked at me and said, "What official business?" Can we drag the little prince out of Beijing? Just go through the motions and rest assured, no one blames you. Listen to me, everyone sit and watch the excitement. ”

I looked at Hardy, nodded helplessly, and Hardy led the two lieutenants outside, and I sat down. As soon as I sat down, I heard a "bang" sound, and a lieutenant was pushed to the ground, I was startled, and hurriedly got up, and I heard Hardy say: "Why don't you look at it when you walk?" ”

It turned out to be a middle-aged Taoist priest, striding in from the outside, the two lieutenants didn't pay attention, blocking his way, he pushed it with his hand, and pushed down one person.

The man smiled coldly and said, "If you don't have long eyes when you walk, do you blame others for touching you?" Hardy was furious, dodged to block the man's way, and said, "We are from Beizhen Fusi, who are you?" How can you be so arrogant? ”

The man looked Hardy up and down a few times, and of course he saw me walking forward, and said lightly: "What is Beizhen Fusi doing?" Your Taoist is like that. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to push Hardy, but Hardy backhanded to stop him, and the Taoist priest twisted his wrist and twisted Hardy's arm, and said with a smile: "If I use force, your arm will be useless." ”

Hardy struggled hard, the Taoist priest really increased his strength, and the pain made Hardy grin, and the captain next to him saw it, and rushed forward with his fists, and the Taoist priest had sharp footwork, bent his knees and flicked his legs, and kicked the captain down.
