Volume 5 [Blood Moon Demon Sorrow] 374: General Chao died on the battlefield

Fengtian transported, the emperor said:

Mobei barbarians, invade with force, immortals from all walks of life, and work together.

The six major Zen temples are the heart of the royal family, and it is incumbent on them to save the country.

The monks were specially ordered to rush to the north of Xinjiang to assist the factory and clear the wilderness.

It is easy for everyone to resist the enemy for thousands of miles, crusade against Mobei, and show the power of the sky.

Chin this!

..................................................................

(Monks): Long live my emperor, long live, long live!

In the palace of Taichang Temple, representatives of the six major Zen temples gathered together. On behalf of the six major Zen monasteries, Master Qingyun received the order of thanksgiving. The first seat of the precept court of the two temples of Dalan and Gu Sin said: "Your Majesty, this is asking us to obey the orders of Xichangβ€”β€” Master Qingyun, as the representative of the women's temple, should you stand up and make a statement?"

Master Qingyun glanced at the two old monks, and pretended to be confused: "Hmph! Senior Brother Qiu Wei of Taichang Temple passed away, and I just took the order for him." The Holy Judgment has been decided, and we, as members of the Protector Dharma Temple, should act according to orders, what is there to say?"

"Since ancient times, border battles have been decided by military officials within the court, and monks have never been involved. And I will have a lot of resources and a lot of soldiers tomorrow. Why do we have pure hearts and few desires for Buddhist disciples to go to the battlefield?" said the first seat of the Ancient Sin Temple.

Qingyun Shitai said: "If you want to know why the Holy Lord wants you to go to the battlefield, then you have to ask the emperor, what is the use of asking me? As a consequence, he will inevitably be expelled from the Ming Wonderland! If he admits that he is a member of the Ming Dynasty, he should bear the brunt of the national disaster. Why do you use the name of a monk to passively slack off the war, pointing to Li Tuizhang?"

The representative of Dalan Temple stood up and denied: "Buddhism talks about the equality of all living beings and the single-mindedness of goodness. Breaking the four roots, keeping the five precepts, practicing the six degrees, and serving the ten virtues, have all these Qingyun masters forgotten? The first of the ten virtues is not to kill, and now that the emperor has ordered us to go into battle to kill the enemy, won't it make the disciples of Buddhism fall into a place of sin that will never be recovered?"

When Master Qingyun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha, that's a good point!' Break the four roots, keep the five precepts, practice the six degrees, and serve the ten virtues." 'Dalan Temple is indeed a model of Buddhism, and opening your mouth is Mahayana Buddhism.

But you keep saying that you have broken off the four roots, but which four have you broken? 'Killing, stealing, fornicating, and falsehood' You have not broken any of them, and you have repeatedly broken the vows, and you have done many evils. At that time, where did all the precepts go?

You say you don't want to kill, but a few months ago, who knocked on the door of my Qingyun Nu Temple and asked us to join you in avenging Master Qiu Wei?

You are using Qiu Xuan's apprentice monk to make the head of the Three Good Sect fall to death. and not to say what is behind it, nor to find out who you are instructed by. Just saying that you have a grudge with the Three Good Sects has already broken the two precepts of greed and hatred!

Now the Mobei barbarians are sword-rattling/bowing, and you have taken out the precepts again. I think...... It is false for you to keep the precepts. Greedy for life and afraid of death, it is true when you avoid hiding!"

The Gusin Temple helped the Dalan Temple to argue: "Qingyun, you have to have a solid basis for what you say! The Dalan Temple has followed the rules and regulations for so many years and abides by the Buddhist laws, which is obvious to everyone. The six great Zen temples have the same sect and the same sect, and if you slander the Dalan Temple like this, we can do justice for the Dalan Temple! Qiu Xuan's death is all due to the demon girl's murderous nature. As a disciple of Buddhism, what is wrong with avenging Senior Brother Qiu?"

Qingyun didn't pay attention to the people of the Gusin Temple at all: "Hmph! I haven't said anything about the dirty things in your Gusin Temple, but you have come to judge justice for Dalan Temple! You two families are friends with each other, and they are clearly foxes and dogs, snakes and rats! Today, in front of Lord Qincha, I will leave you a Buddha face, lest you blame me for ignoring the friendship of my fellow disciples." - I have already received the holy decree, and it is your business whether the two temples obey the decree or not. ”

"-You!" the representative of the Ancient Sin Temple was so angry that Master Qingyun was speechless.

Qingyun didn't bother to pay attention to the two crooked monks, and said to the eunuch who passed the decree: "Lord Qincha, tomorrow I will send a disciple of Qingyun'an into Beijing." Please go back to the palace to tell the emperor, please rest assured that Qingyun Nunnery will definitely live up to the emperor's grace. ”

Da Lan and Gu Sin two temples saw that Master Qingyun had taken the lead, and they had no choice but to obey. The next day, tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples of the six major Zen temples rushed to the west factory to report. When Chao Hu saw that so many monks and nuns had come, he immediately had confidence.

In the spring of the year, on the second day of February, the third sacrifice of the dragon was completed. Feng Chaohu was the general, and ordered Chaohu to carry more than 40,000 monks and nuns to the north to fight against Mobei. Zhuangxing wine, respecting the ghost in the ground, the general's sword, with the heroes of the time. The emperor and Chao Hu said goodbye and watched the army go out of the city on an expedition.

In March of the same year, Tang Juan was ordered by Condensation Incense to buy the governors of Guangning and Suining with a lot of money, so that they could quietly raise troops, set up an ambush in Youyun Pass, successfully intercepted the imperial court materials and food, and hid them in the bunker behind Youyun Nunnery. Nanyu was ambushed, fled in the wilderness, and rode back to Beijing overnight to restore his life.

Long San regretted not listening to Xingyun's words, arrested the governor of Guangsui Province in advance, and dismissed him from his post and investigated. For a time, it caused internal and external troubles. Chao Hu was short of food and grass, which caused the monks and nuns in the army to be passive and slack. The loss of the two cities one after another also made the morale of the army even more depressed.

Xingyun and the others have been waiting for the Western Regions to send troops, but Condensation Incense has been slow to make a move. They also began to hesitate whether to recapture Shengjie Mountain first. When he was undecided, news came from the front of the battle.......

"β€”What?, Chao Hu died in battle?" the sisters couldn't believe when they heard the news. Although the conquest will inevitably return with a horse leather shroud. However, when they really heard the news of Chao Hu's death, they were still subjectively unwilling to accept such a reality.

Dao Meimei was terrified, as if she had lost her soul, and sat on the phoenix chair with tears in her eyes: "Chao Qing's family died fighting for the country, how can I explain to Sister Nan?"

Long San was also very sad, and ordered the palace to mourn General Chao for three days. and ordered Nan Yu to take over Chao Hu's position, exterminate the Mobei barbarians, and take the head of the Mobei lord. With great grief and indignation, Nan Yu vowed to die for his uncle's bloody enemy. The next day, he took the only 20,000 remaining Imperial Forest troops out of the imperial city and rushed to the northern region to fight the enemy.

When Nan Yingying heard the news, she fainted directly. Although neither she nor Chao Hu are greedy for life and afraid of death. But after many years of husband and wife, they suddenly heard the news that their husband had died in battle, and this blow was like a fire phoenix breaking its wings, leaving the danhuang lying on the tong branch. After the sycamore was half dead and the frost was cleared, the white mandarin duck lost its companion and flew. It's a pain that only those who have experienced it can experience.

However, although this blow is big, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not as important as the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty. After all, such things are happening every day among the people of Lebanon.

Therefore, when the people of the Ming Dynasty learned that General Chao Hu sacrificed his life for the country, they tightened their belts and cut down on food and clothing, worked diligently and thriftily, raised grain and grass, and helped the front line. However, the act of boiling the intestines and scraping the stomach can only make the war last for a while. The treasury is running low day by day, and the people are struggling to make ends meet. All this was due to the fact that Admiral Guangsui embezzled more than 100,000 troops of the imperial court, and also intercepted a large amount of food and materials sent by the imperial court to the front line. This made Long San regret and chagrin, and he was sick and lying on the couch under the burden.

Dao Meimei served the emperor while hanging the curtain to listen to the government. Although the old ministers of the court were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say much because of the queen's domineering character. It's just that many things choose not to be reported. In a short period of time, a bad atmosphere has been formed in the DPRK and China: big things are played in small things, and small things are simply not played!

At the end of the day, Dao Meimei returned to the palace to serve Long San to take medicine. Seeing that she had dispersed so quickly, Long San couldn't help but ask, "Lady, why is the court so stopped today? It is unreasonable that the dynasty will end in less than an hour. ”

Dao Meimei held the pill, bowed her head and said, "The ministers have nothing to do, why don't they disperse the court?

Ryuzo understands that Dao Meimei is overworked today and is in a bad mood. I didn't want to annoy her, so I took the bowl and drank the medicine in one gulp, then got up and went to the ground to .......

"Eh~!Why are you going?" asked Dao Meimei nervously.

Long San put on his dragon robe and turned around and smiled slightly: "I'm tired of lying down, go out for a walk!" After that, he said to the eunuchs at the door: "I want to go to the imperial garden to see if the peach blossoms bloom in early spring?"

Dao Meimei shouted, "I have to accompany you to enjoy the flowers! your illness is not cured, don't catch the wind and cold again!" As she spoke, she pulled a cloak from the screen inside and chased after her.

The two were walking in the garden, and suddenly a soldier came to report: "Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, the Heavenly Prison Warden has just started something!"

β€œ...... Ahem...... "Ryuzo covered his pale lips with his fist and coughed violently twice.

"The prison warden said that the human demon felony in the prison has woken up!"

"-What? Nangong woke up?" Dao Meimei and Ryuzo immediately came to their senses when they heard the news. There was no time to inquire in detail, so the two turned their heads back to the palace and prepared to inform Baili Xingyun.

In the harem, Dao Meimei told the news to Baili Xingyun. Xingyun was excited and personally rushed to the heavenly prison to visit Nangong Yao. Inside the thick iron gate, Xingyun saw Nangong Yao staring at the eyeballs covered with wisteria, grinning and biting everywhere. The disappointment left tears in his eyes, and he lowered his head and sobbed: "Brother Nangong, it's all my fault for being incompetent, I am helpless when I see you like this." Do you know how much my heart hurts......?"

A hand appeared behind him, gently patted Xingyun's shoulder and comforted: "Eldest sister, you can't be blamed for this! It's just Mei Sanniang...... blame." ”

As soon as Dao Meimei's words of comfort blurted out, Xingyun immediately stopped crying, as if he had thought of something, stared at Nangong Yao with his eyes, and said silently: "Mei Sanniang...... Mei Sanniang...... I know!"

"What do you know?"

"Third sister, the Mobei army must have been Mei Sanniang's ghost! She is the princess Tara of Mobei. I finally knew why the condensation incense stood still and watched the fire from the other side. She is not afraid of Daming, but afraid of Mei Sanniang!"

"Afraid of Mei Sanniang?β€”β€” eldest sister? Condensing Xiang and Mei Sanniang have close contacts, why should she be afraid of Mei Sanniang? I think she has been delaying sending troops to the Central Plains because she is simply unable to dominate the soldiers of the Western Regions. And no outsiders know about the disappearance of the second sister, and it should be the second sister who is afraid of the condensation incense!"

"No! Condensing Incense must be because Mei Sanniang β€”β€” is terrible!Third sister, you quickly let Wu Daozi lead all the Taoist disciples to come and guard the imperial city!" Xingyun said urgently.

"Why? Instead of letting Taoist disciples come to guard the Imperial City, it would be more effective for them to rush to the front line!"

Xingyun took Dao Meimei's hand and patiently explained: "Listen to me! We are all negligent, I have been only concerned about guarding against condensation incense, but I have not guessed why she has not sent troops for a long time. She is afraid of Mei Sanniang because Mei Sanniang can control the Septic Demon. Now Mobei is attacking Daming, but at this time, Brother Nangong suddenly woke up. Therefore, I guess that Mei Sanniang must be using the septic blood control technique. Nan Yu just took a large number of Imperial Forest Army away from the imperial city a few days ago, if the Bloody Demon attacked the city at this time, let me ask, with a few of our sisters, how can we ensure the safety of the emperor and everyone in the court?"

Dao Meimei suddenly realized, she can go back to the palace to fly the pigeon and pass the book, and let Wu Daozi lead the Sanqing disciples to the palace and guard the Ming City!
