Chapter 127: The boy enters Chang'an
A.D. 574. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This year, the world is still in chaos, and countries are constantly strife.
This year, it was the third year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha and slaughtered the Tao, forced the monks and Taoists in the world to return to the people, plundered the temple, Taoist temples and treasures and returned them to the state.
This year, a young man came down from Longhu Mountain, alone, riding a small donkey, and walked leisurely to the gate of Chang'an, the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty......
His name is Zhang Zixiang, and he is the nephew of Zhang Fu, the ninth-generation Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and this time he secretly ran out without telling his family.
Because Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Buddha and slaughtered the Tao, Longhu Mountain, as the pillar of Taoism at that time, was the transit point for contacting the Taoist sects of the world, and naturally became a place for those Taoist disciples who were pursued by the imperial court to hide their plots. What's more, Longhu Mountain itself has also been impacted, and many of its disciples have been arrested by the imperial court. Conspiracy and conspiracy are naturally not very good, Zhang Zixiang is a teenager, at the age of enthusiasm, he is not used to listening to these remarks about disregarding the common people for his own selfish interests, and he is not used to the sanctimonious appearance of these so-called Taoist children. After leaving a letter, he rode a little donkey down the mountain and traveled around the world.
At that time, as soon as Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty issued the "Order to Exterminate Buddha and Slaughter Dao", the world was in an uproar.
Since the opening of the heavens in Pangu and the preaching of the Three Sages, Taoism has taken root in the land of China. After the War of the Gods, the Heavenly Court was established, and many Heavenly Immortals descended to pass on the Taoist system, and finally developed and grew. Even the invasion of Western Christianity (later changed to Buddhism) could not shake the dominance of Taoism in China. In the previous confrontations, Buddhism was at a disadvantage, and even caused the wrath of several generations of emperors, and organized several large-scale extermination operations. Forget about destroying Buddhism, an outsider, and destroying my Taoism, did he eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?
And this time, it's obviously different.
Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, was a tenacious and persistent emperor, who had endured for 12 years and finally killed the powerful minister Yuwen Hu, who was in charge of the power, and returned the imperial power in one fell swoop, and then implemented various effective measures against the imperial court, which was obviously planned for a long time. And today's order, the army went out in all directions, arrested the world's monks and Taoists to set an example, demolished the temple to make good land, forced the monks to return to the vulgar as good people, and the city was full of wind and rain, obviously the people who came were not good. And he usually makes a decision, which can also be seen from the incident in which he killed Yuwen Go.
Along the way, Zhang Zixiang also sighed frequently, if it weren't for him as a Taoist, he would have to applaud and celebrate Emperor Wu Yuwenyong's initiatives.
He has been to Nanchen and Northern Qi, and the three overlords of the world are obviously a bit unworthy of his name in his opinion, and they should be the dominant family of Northern Zhou.
Although there is a Ming lord in Nanchen, but the national strength is weak, only the ability to defend success, there is no enterprising power, and it is already dying; the Northern Qi Dynasty is a faint monarch Gao Wei is the country, appointing traitors, brutalizing loyal ministers, indulging in sensuality, the national strength is declining, already dying of old age, and there is always the danger of destroying the country; the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the reign of the Ming monarch, Emperor Wu Yuwen Yong exerts great efforts to govern the country, after the eradication of the ministers, rectify the rule of officials, go to the east and the west, the national strength of the government and the opposition has risen sharply, and there is a faint momentum of dominating the world.
Now, being able to resist the power of Taoism to take root in China for thousands of years and forcibly promulgate the "Decree to Exterminate Buddha and Slaughter Taoism" makes people feel the hard bones of this emperor and yearn for him. With the amount of public weapons, it is a small one, and it is the king of the world!
And today, he is going to see with his own eyes this Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who is "the king of the world". But before that, he had to go through the gates.
At that time, it was the time when the "Emperor Wu Destroys Buddha and Slaughters Dao Order" was issued, and Zhang Zixiang did not disguise, a Taoist robe, standing fluttering, is it really blind to be a soldier guarding the door?
"Stab" There was a piercing sound of weapons out of the body, and there were two more sharp long swords in front of Zhang Zixiang.
"Taoists, please show the degree, otherwise according to the "Order to Destroy the Buddha and Slaughter the Dao", it will be handed over to the three divisions of the yamen for review. The two gatekeepers were expressionless, looking at Zhang Zixiang as if they were looking at a dead man, obviously this so-called "Sansi Yamen" is not a good place to go.
In the past few days of walking in the territory of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Zixiang has long been accustomed to it, and from time to time someone will block the way and ask him if he wants to spend it. But the problem is that he went down the mountain secretly this time, and Du Mo stayed in Longhu Mountain, and he didn't bring it down at all, so how could he take it out. Normally, when encountering this situation, he would directly use "shrinking the ground into inches" to escape, but just when Zhang Zixiang was about to use a spell, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from the city gate, and it simply dispersed the true yuan that he had just drummed up.
"Miscalculated!" Zhang Zi muttered secretly, looking at the two soldiers in front of him who were getting worse and worse, and his face was a little bitter. It seems that it is really too big, and it should be changed into clothes and then mixed in! As the imperial city of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, how could Chang'an not have a ban! Now that the boat capsized in the gutter, it seems that this time it will be unlucky!
What erupted just now was the large aura of Chang'an City, and the aura not only directly dispersed the true yuan in Zhang Zixiang's body, but also caused him to suffer a lot of injuries, and he couldn't use spells at the moment, how to get out?
At this moment, a luxurious convoy came from outside the city in the direction of the city gate, but was blocked by the riot caused by Zhang Zixiang. A thin old man who looked like a housekeeper walked out of the middle of the convoy and shouted at the top of his voice: "Who is so bold as to dare to block Sui Guogong's convoy!"
When the two soldiers heard this, they were all sincerely frightened, and they knelt down in a hurry, and shouted repeatedly: "Sui Guogong is angry, Sui Guogong is angry! It's not that we are deliberately blocking the way, it's that the Taoist priest in front of me has no degree, and his origin is unknown, so we dare not slack off!"
"Isn't it just a stinky Taoist priest! It would be good to pull it directly to the Sansi Yamen, anyway, the emperor has issued an order......" The old butler was still chattering.
"Yang Quan!" At this time, a gentle and thick middle-aged male voice came from the middle car, "It is not easy for everyone to be forgiving and forgiving, forget it." There is only one Taoist priest left and right, how much wind and waves can be set off, take him for a ride. ”
"Yes!" The old butler Yang Quan hurriedly saluted to the inside of the car with sincere fear, but when he turned around, he still looked like a commanding man: "Hurry up and remove the barricades, get out of the way, don't get in the way!"
"This ...... The emperor promulgated the ......" The two soldiers still wanted to work hard, but they were glared back by Yang Quan's white eyes: "What's the matter? I still want to argue with the Duke of Sui! I told you to let you go as soon as possible, delaying the entry of the grandfather into the mansion, can you afford it?"
The two soldiers had no choice but to withdraw the barricades and put away their long swords.
Zhang Zixiang watched a good show, and finally followed the luxury convoy into Chang'an City.
It's so difficult to get in, it seems that the road in Chang'an City is not easy to walk!
