Chapter 10: Crossing the River
The whole process of Zhang Luo's transfer, Zhao Ran was clear, and it was precisely because of his recommendation that Zhang Luo entered the eyes of Zhao Yunyi, the majority manager, and rose step by step. Originally, Zhao Ran was worried that Zhao Dadu would be angry with Zhang Luo because of himself, but now it seems that this worry does not exist.
After a brief conversation, I knew that Ning Deshou was now guarding the throne, and there was also an "acting" in front of him, which meant that he was temporary, indicating that Ning Deshou was still not a serious guard, so he did not add the title of "commander".
Zhao Ran asked: "It's strange that the acting has been in charge for a year, isn't it?
Ning Deshou sighed: "Before Brother Zhang left office, my Song Domain Guard commanded Lord Cao to recommend the last general to the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion to take over the guard. ”
The appointment and dismissal of such an important military post as Hongyuan Shouyu is usually reported to the Ministry of War after seeking the opinions of the Daomen, but generally speaking, the Daomen will not interfere too much, so Ning Deshou said that there was an "accident" on the Daomen's side.
"Which joint is stuck?"
"Over there in the Du Prison of the Heavenly Crane Palace. ”
Zhao Ran was stunned: "This shouldn't be......"
Ning Deshou smiled bitterly: "On the occasion of the return of the Du Supervision Yuan from the General Temple, perhaps in order to avoid suspicion, he reported the official document of the Governor's Mansion to Xuanyuanguan, and Xuanyuanguan asked for the opinion of the resident Daomen." The Yuan Prison of the White Horse Academy replied that it agreed, but the abbot Zeng said 'no'...... It is also Lord Cao who has the courage, although the last general was not promoted to the position of guard, but Lord Cao still asked the last general to act for the time being, speaking of which, the last general's 'acting guard' is also unfounded, if it is not for the support of the brothers in the camp, this acting guard will never be able to continue. ”
Having said this, Zhao Ran could only sigh with him. Although it is almost a sure thing that he will take up the position of abbot of the White Horse Academy in the next step, the paperwork has not come down, and the nail has not been nailed, so he can only say "almost" forever, so he can't express his position now, and can only knock on the side to comfort and encourage a few words.
Ning Deshou reported the news of Zhao Ran's arrival to the Cao Commander stationed in the Chewa River Valley, and the Cao Commander rushed to the Hongyuan Imperial Palace overnight to meet Zhao Ran, and held a feast in the camp, and more than 20 monks from the Daomen who assisted in guarding the military camp went to the banquet together to see Zhao Ran off.
Early in the morning of 1 August, Zhao Ran boarded the ship from the Moon Ferry, crossed the river with 12 guards assigned by the deputy envoy Zhang Juzheng and Ning Deshou, disembarked on the opposite bank, and set foot on the land controlled by the Xia army.
The Tangut people had already gathered on the shore as agreed, swept over at a glance, and there were no less than hundreds of guards.
The first to start is undoubtedly a group of monks, and the one who is surrounded by everyone in the center is the first seat of the Xuanye Hall of the Tenryu Temple, the master of the Bodhisattva Realm. There are five halls under the elder hall of the dean of Tianlong, the Golden Needle Hall is in charge of spies, the Red Lotus Hall is in charge of punishment, the Bodhi Hall is in charge of the Buddha Treasure Sutra, the Dharma Hall is in charge of fighting the Fa, and the Xuanye Hall is in charge of proclamation.
Master Xuanci rainbow body sent back to Xingqing, this is the first major event of Buddhism today, Tianlong Temple to hold a Nirvana Dharma, this matter is in charge of Xuanye Hall, the first Hongdao to welcome Xuanci rainbow body, which shows the importance of Buddhism to this matter.
Dealing with Buddhism, Zhao Ran can be said to be extremely familiar, the deeds of this old monk of Hongdao, he also heard about it when he was in Xingqing Mansion, and he knew a little. This old monk has extremely profound Buddhist knowledge, and can be described as a great Buddhist scripture teacher, and is recognized as a great monk in the entire Western Xia and even the entire Western Regions Buddhism. In terms of cultivation, he is not top-notch, but in terms of status, he is almost not inferior to several Buddhas such as Yinguang, Miaozhen, Wenyin and Xuyongming.
Zhao Ran immediately stepped forward to salute: "Presumably you are the master of Hongdao, Zhao Zhiran, Xiaodao, I have seen the master!"
The old monk of Hongdao said: "Thank you Daochang Zhao for returning the rainbow body." ”
Behind Master Hongdao were the elders of the West Hall of the Xuanye Hall and several deacon monks, and the special envoy of the Golden Needle Hall to answer the matter, Monk Mingjue, was also among them.
Mingjue came out of the queue and introduced all the monks to Zhao Ran one by one, and there were not only the monks of Tianlong Temple, but also the abbots of several temples nearby. These abbots all came spontaneously and wanted to "escort" Hongti all the way into the capital of Xingqing.
Behind a group of monks, there were several Xia army generals and Western Xia officials, and in the court, Zhang Juzheng came forward to meet and contact, and there was a lot of chaos for a while.
Half an hour later, Zhang Juzheng finished exchanging customs defenses and completed the formalities, Zhao Ran and Zhang Juzheng took a team of personal soldiers of the Ming army, rode on the good horses deployed by Western Xia, and went north along the river under the escort of the Xia army.
Zhang Juzheng whispered to Zhao Ran: "Abbot, that one is Wu Huawen." ”
Zhao Ran looked in the direction of Zhang Juzheng's mouth, and saw a strong man wearing a helmet and armor, wearing a white robe, watching himself and others leave outside the Xia Jun barracks.
It turned out that this was the renegade who made the entire Ming army very troubled, and Wu Huawen, a thousand households in Mengcheng, Eastern Mengcheng of the Ming Dynasty. This person was ordered to Yunnan to fight when he voted for Tubo, and in the twelfth year of Jiajing to vote for the Western Xia, although there is no discipline at all, but in the war is very set, repeatedly made the Ming army suffer, and now is the left wing commander of the military division of the Baimaqiang Town Supervision Department of the Western Xia, and the chief general of the Xia army stationed in Baihe.
Zhang Juzheng said hatefully in Zhao Ran's ear again: "Da Ming treats him well, but he has treasoned and defected to the enemy, he really should be killed! If you catch him one day, you will have to cut him with a thousand knives!"
Zhao Ran turned his head and said slowly: "There is no point in talking ruthlessly, uncle, calm down, you and I are familiar with the Taoist scriptures, don't you have this bit of qi cultivation kung fu?"
Zhang Juzheng let out a long breath of turbidity and lowered his head.
Continuing to move forward, Zhao Ran held the festival in his hand, and behind him was a group of Buddhist monks, and hundreds of Xia army sergeants were guarding around, and the feeling was very different.
He experienced the taste of being a state envoy all the way, walked for more than half an hour, entered a valley, and saw three monks standing by the road in front of him in the distance.
Master Hongdao sighed softly and said to Zhao Ran: "Don't blame Zhao Envoy, this is Xuansheng, the abbot of Taici Temple. ”
Zhao Ran saw one of the acquaintances at a glance just now, it was Guangzhen, who was missing an arm. Back then, Guangzhen killed Chang Wanzhen and Cheng Zhicheng in Zheer Mountain, and that battle was Zhao Ran's most thrilling battle, almost dying, and when he recalled it at this moment, he was still shocked.
Thinking that Chang Wanzhen and Cheng Zhicheng both died at the hands of Guangzhen, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart, and secretly said that if he catches you one day, he will definitely cut you with a thousand knives!
Guangzhen also saw Zhao Ran, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the two looked at each other like this until they approached the front.
Xuansheng combined: "Old Xuansheng, with his disciples Guangfa and Guangzhen, greeted the envoy, and met Senior Brother Hongdao. ”
Hongdao shook his head: "Senior Brother Xuansheng is still here, but why bother? Master Yinguang said to let you wait in Tianlong Academy, this is also for your good." If the junior brother has any thoughts, it is better to dispel them. ”
Xuan Sheng said: "I hope that Senior Brother will forgive me, Senior Brother Xuanci Hongti has returned, how can the poor monk sit and wait, he has violated the decree of Tianlong Academy, and he will ask Master Yinguang for guilt after he returns." Senior brother rest assured, the poor monk has no resentment, and he is only here to welcome Senior Brother Xuanci, and has no other intentions. ”
Hongdao was silent for a moment and said, "Then let's go together." ”
