Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Murong Clan of Yuling
To the east of the south, not dozens of miles out of Longting County, next to Yuling County, the water of the big river that flows into the sea in the east and the water of the canal that runs through the north and south converge here, and the transportation and shipping are prosperous because of the geographical advantage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are more than 200 large and small wharves in the southern suburbs of Yuling County, the business travelers from all directions gather, the world's products gather, the poor look at it, but see the shore boiling and the sky, the carriages, horses and people are as many as ants gathering, thousands of sails in the water stretch for dozens of miles, bustling, day and night, its prosperous and busy scene, it is difficult to describe it for a while, it is the so-called collection of the essence of the world to raise Zhongzhou.
To the west of the wharf, there is an extremely wide and flat official road leading directly to Jingshi, and the carts carrying goods on the road are endless, and people shout and neigh, and the noise is incomparable.
Along the official road to the west, not out of three or five miles, there is suddenly an endless red high wall beside the road, the circle occupies a large area of extremely broad and deep hills and forests, between the mountains and forests can faintly see many gorgeous and delicate cornice arches, the top of the mountain can be seen in the magnificent pavilion, the birdsong is faint, the silk and bamboo are faint, and the official road and even the noise on the wharf not far away are compared, quite a bit of quiet in the middle of the noise.
When people pass through this red wall, they often have to carefully restrain the carriages and horses, and they will deliberately lower their voices when they talk, laugh and scold, not to mention that across the wall, they can always see the spears of Rulin passing by, the cold light is dazzling, and the sound of armor is sonorous, teaching people not to have the slightest bit of unbridled and noisy mind and courage.
The saint surnamed Gao, the Yuling Murong clan, is the master of the huge mountains and forests within this red wall.
In the Murong Garden, one high and one low, two pavilions were built on the adjacent hills, one low and one high, respectively.
Between the two floors, a wooden arch rainbow bridge was erected to communicate with each other.
On the Hongqiao, accompanied by the bright moon and the breeze, you can overlook the 100,000 lights of the county town to the north, and you can see the bright flames shining on the river in the distance, winding to the sky like a fire snake.
Murong Chunxiao stood in the middle of the bridge, looking at the huge moon wheel in front of him.
An old man wearing a jade crown and a dark purple moire silver python robe slowly stepped into the bridge, his appearance was not a middle-aged person, but his eyes were very bright, although his hair was white, his waist and back were extremely straight, and he walked very steadily step by step, inadvertently revealing a majestic attitude.
Murong Chunxiao turned around, saw the old man's dress, and saluted: "Grandfather, is this going to enter Beijing?"
The old man was Murong Sheng, the head of the contemporary Murong family, and he looked at Murong Chunxiao with a lot of pampering in his eyes, and nodded: "I just got the news, tomorrow's big court meeting." Your Majesty, after so many years of patience and impatience, there are times when you can't sit still, too, between life and death, how many people can see it?"
Murong Chunxiao smiled playfully, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the official road: "But no, even if you are an old man, you are already the most wealthy and wishful thinking in the world, don't you have to worry about that wall every day? Not to mention the son of heaven who has been busy and exhausted all his life." ”
"My family, only you, dare to say these things to me!"
Murong Sheng smiled and shook his head, but between his eyes opened and closed, there was a little more solemn remembrance.
After the victory of the Western Expedition, the authority of the Son of Heaven was greatly opened, and the world's tycoons were all obedient, and at that time, you were allowed to build deep roots in the local area, and make a blessing for the prestige, and the holy decree should also be uprooted, and the migration was enriched by the Beijing Division, and the historical records praised the merits of the emperor, and the so-called "relocation of the gate valve and the determination of rules" referred to this matter. It is necessary to know that the four words "setting rules" are not available for leisure, but must be swept away and a new system can be opened. For example, in the ancient and almost mythical "Xuanyuan Holy Emperor Benji", the words "sweeping the world and setting rules" were also used.
At the beginning, the emperor visited Yuling, and saw the mountains and forests where the ancestral court of the Murong family lived, there was no such red wall at that time, but there was no lack of walls of private army camps, and most of Yuling County was owned by his family and surname, and the county guards in the county town not far away, together with the tax collector on the wharf, all had to admire the snort of the head of the Rong family, like a house slave.
The first emperor got off the horse on the official road, and stabbed a sword on the horse's buttocks, the horse was frightened, and galloped away along the official road, the first emperor inserted the sword next to the road, turned around and said to the head of the Murong family with a smile: "There is no need to move to Jingshi, from here, where the horse stops, the mountains and forests within fifteen miles south of this line are the fiefdom I gave to your Murong family, and the rest of your family's land in the county will be recovered, and I will redeem it with one percent of the proceeds from this transportation and shipping, and the deadline, your family has killed thirteen grandmasters in the western expedition and the southward counterinsurgency, which is one hundred and thirty years." ”
Murong Sheng obviously remembered this past, stood by the railing, looked at Yuling County from afar, and sighed: "I think that I am the sage of the Murong family, the Miao descendant, and the world will live forever, the heads of the family of the past dynasties live in this mountain forest, I don't know how many heroes I have seen in ancient and modern times, the marquis worships the prime minister, the king of Dingbo Kuang, and the spirit is arrogant, but in the blink of an eye, it is prosperous and withered, and scattered dust." This cycle of glory and decline, victory and defeat, and obscure rise and fall is the number of days, no matter how heroic you are, you can't stop the trend from changing the time, Qi Ding is like this, the emperor is like this, your great-ancestor is like this, but now it is Your Majesty's turn. ”
Murong Chunxiao put away her smile and said softly: "After so many years, I don't want to be open-minded like my grandfather, and I still worry about my aunt's affairs. ”
Murong Sheng waved his hand: "Don't mention these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, by the way, what happened to Wu Ersan? Wanliuzhuang protected him, but he crossed the line a little, and the Son of Heaven returned it, and the one in the Grain Temple was not easy to get along with." ”
Murong Chunxiao said with a straight face: "I met Wu Ersan in Wanliuzhuang, looking at his behavior, I'm afraid I don't know the grievances of the previous generations, this time Wanliuzhuang let him out, thinking that it was to lure the snake out of the hole, after all, he has been hiding in the mountains for many years, and it is easy for people to be slaughtered, no matter how you look at it, someone has ulterior motives and wants to muddy the water." ”
She glanced at her grandfather's face and said with a smile: "In the final analysis, he and our family are broken bones and tendons, and if you want to deal with it, it should be your grandfather's disposal. By the way, the blood begonia tree in Wanliuzhuang is about to bloom. ”
Murong Sheng's body was shocked, and his mouth was still unforgiving: "Hmph, some of the origins have been broken since Qi Ding, and the old man is too lazy to care about this idle matter." Wanliuzhuang will take care of it, who will pretend to be infatuated with this time? What are you doing earlier!"
He turned his head and winked at his favorite granddaughter: "What about the black crow captain you like?" It is also the news that I just got it, and it seems that he is also a restless lord, and he is still not satisfied with Wu Yan's appreciation, and he is still very close to the king of Lanling?"
Murong Chunxiao's cheeks were slightly red, and he didn't follow: "Where is it for him, Liu Tugou was originally a granddaughter who came and went, and he didn't want to be involved in the sick tiger Shi It turns out that people now have two supernatural powers as backers, where can I easily handle, I can only deliberately make friends and ask for a mutual benefit." ”
Murong Sheng laughed: "This is insincere, no matter how deliberately you make friends, you can't go to the camp late at night to check for injuries and ask questions, right?"
He turned around, doting with a bit of solemnity: "The matter of unintentional paper, although I ended up on a business trip, it also shows your filial piety, and my grandfather is very relieved." You have been apprenticed to Lingshan since you were a child, and unlike those girls in the family, your grandfather did not want to restrain you, but there is one, don't forget the lessons of your aunt and grandmother. Qi Ding, Wu Ersan, Liu Tugou and other characters who rise from time to time and take advantage of the momentum always have to overcome obstacles at all times, and if they are careless, they will add knives and axes, even if they are our saints, once they follow the end, the consequences are unpredictable. Look at the South Shi Rafter, no matter how successful or unsuccessful it will be in the future, what will happen to you?"
Murong Chunxiao blinked his good-looking Danfeng eyes, nodded in response, and then said cautiously: "Our family and Lingshan are both inclined to the prince, but looking at the actions of the present in recent years, first sparing no effort to cultivate the rest of the princes, and supporting Ao Mang to lead Buddhism to the north, Wu Yan even accepted Dou Honglian as a disciple, and no longer shouted and shouted at the demon gate. ”
Murong Sheng put his hands into his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "The Ji room and the Cereals Temple are all on guard, not to mention the Daomen that is difficult to control and intertwined with various families, these actions of the Son of Heaven are not deliberately aimed at the prince, but if the prince blindly uses the Daomen and the family, there is a danger of being overturned when he ascends the throne in the future, and it is not impossible to choose another merit under the trade-off." This is to change the fortune of the world before the supernatural power is discussed, and then there will be more capital to bargain. It's to walk on your spiritual mountain, don't be too competent. ”
Murong Chunxiao smiled: "My granddaughter knows the severity, I am surnamed Murong first, and then a disciple of Lingshan." If it is really as my grandfather said, in the few remaining days of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he will spare no effort to reward the poor like the former emperor who promoted Qi Ding, Yu Da and others?"
"Ao Mang has been able to win the holy favor alone all these years, isn't it because the Son of Heaven saw that he had a heart of disobedience and injustice, and he had the courage and means to suppress the family and suppress the sect wholeheartedly? At that time, the family and the Daomen teamed up to level the Ganlu Temple in northern Beijing, which was only half built, and the Son of Heaven didn't say it, but he was afraid that he was very angry. The 12th Dharma carried the Buddha to the north, except for one reckless mourning, and no one stopped him, which seemed easy, but how could it be a fluke?
Murong Chunxiao shook his head: "Your Majesty's martial arts are far inferior to the previous emperor, but the Wenzhi is surpassed, but if the Buddhism is only slightly inferior in the number of supernatural masters, the secular means can make up for one or two. When it really comes to the critical juncture of the survival of the Taoist system, how can the Buddhism sect fight for it?"
She groaned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "Liu Tugou's mount has become a climate, and I once saw the two fighting thousands of miles apart in the boundless cliff of Fumo Ridge in Lingshan. Although it was almost amnesiac after it came out, and only remembered one scale and half a claw, the granddaughter later deduced from what she had seen and heard in Wanliuzhuang that one of them seemed to be the owner of Wanliuzhuang, together with the one in the cliff, if there was no accident, it would be almost the same if it was not a celestial person. ”
Although he is walking in the Spirit Mountain, many of the secrets in the sect are still beyond the reach of the junior disciples of Murong Chunxiao, the Inspiration Realm. Similarly, the grievances and grievances between the Murong clan and Qi Ding and Wanliu Village, including the blood begonia that seemed to be very cherished by her grandfather and the owner of Wanliu Village, she only knew about it, and many of the ins and outs were not known.
"A westward expedition, after all, is cheaper than the surname Pu, and only wronged your aunt and grandmother......"
There was no lack of resentment and bitterness in Murong Sheng's words that he had not let go of for two hundred years, and he sneered: "Buddhism has never been born of heaven, but if it can gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and the Northland, and even spread to the land of Rongdi, it is not easy to say." ”
Murong Chunxiao was shocked: "What does grandfather mean?"
"Although tomorrow's great court meeting is a bit hasty, it is not a whim of the Son of Heaven. In addition to the king of Lanling, who swaggered back to Beijing because of his military exploits, the king of Ruyang has also secretly arrived in Beijing, and the Xishi clan of Luoxia Gongxi in Ganzhou sent the young master into Beijing to thank him. ”
Murong Chunxiao felt incredible: "Could it be that the Son of Heaven is going to launch the Second Western Expedition? This great war has been implicated for a long time, and the life span of the Son of Heaven can afford to wait?"
She paused again, shook her head and smiled: "It's the granddaughter who wants to be left." At this time and at that time, the Western Regions were at peace early, and the remaining Bai Rong Seven Surnames, whose strength was not as strong as before, would it take 20 years to succeed? The difficulty in this matter was not in the conquest, but in how to stabilize the Di people in the north, the demons and barbarians in Yunzhou, the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River, and how to satisfy all the families before and after the event. No wonder the Gongxi clan is like a rebellion, but the Son of Heaven ignores it, otherwise even if Lu Gong is still there and Ao Mang values it, it will never be like this. ”
Murong Sheng smiled with relief when he heard this: "If your father's generation can have half of your intelligence, your grandfather can retire and retire to live for the rest of his life." ”
He was about to say something, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the pavilion on one side, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked into Hongqiao, bowed down and said: "Old lady, the fleet of Qingzhou Haidong to help transport salt has docked, accompanied by two inland river warships of the Qingzhou Navy Division, and someone on the ship went to the mansion to post a post, signed by the old marquis of Huaidehou's mansion, and the Qingzhou Long's general Dongfang Zhiguo." ”
Murong Sheng and Murong Chunxiao glanced at each other, and said in surprise: "Yu Da actually came in person? This is rare, ask people to prepare horses, and the old man is going to greet this old rival!"
He turned around and hurried downstairs.
Murong Chunxiao saluted his back, turned around and looked at the moon wheel in the sky.
A pair of charming Danfeng eyes became brighter and brighter in the moonlight, and she chuckled and muttered, "Tonight is extraordinarily long." ”
