After about a stick of incense, I gradually heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when I listened carefully, the cry was chaotic and the sound shook the ground, which was obviously caused by thousands of troops and horses. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a short while, the sound faded, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and I saw a tall man with a big horse come into people's sight. I saw that this person was burly and short, and the word "Tong" was floating on the flag behind him, and the abbot had already identified this person at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him

"The old man didn't know that Marshal Tong was here, and he missed the distance, and he looked at Haihan. ”

At this time, the man with the head of the horse reined in his horse, and when he saw the abbot saying this, he clasped his hands in fists

"I passed by here, and I didn't say hello to the abbot, I only hoped that the abbot wouldn't blame Tong. ”

"How dare the old man, but I don't know what kind of gust of wind blew Marshal Tong here, it's really another spontaneous brilliance. ”

"The abbot doesn't have to be too humble, I just won the battle with the Western Xia, the class teacher returned to the court, the path of your temple, and came to visit, I heard that Shaolin is the supreme martial arts, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its name. ”

In 1119 AD, that is, the first year of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Chongzong of Western Xia expressed his submission to the Song Dynasty, and the Song-Xia War finally negotiated peace. The Song-Xia War was divided into five wars, from 1040, that is, the second year of the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty to 1119, and the 79-year Song-Xia War came to an end.

In the Song-Xia War, Tong Guan can be said to be invincible, so that the Western Xia is deserted and fled, among the government and the opposition, Tong Guan's military status is unshaken, resulting in laying the groundwork for the later eunuchs to govern.

In 1121 A.D., the birthday of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, Song Hui sent Zheng Yunzhong and Tong Guan to envoy Liao to congratulate him on his birthday, Emperor Tianzuo saw the eunuchs come to congratulate him, and ridiculed Tong Guan in the court, "the lack of talent in the Southern Dynasty is so", for which Tong Guan can be said to be annoyed and angry, on the way back, Tong Guan made up his mind to go to Liao, in fact, Tong Guan has long had the meaning of lack of Liao, but at that time Fang La, Liangshan uprising in the north and south, Tong Guan had to suppress, and there was the Western Xia War, resulting in the idea of lack of Liao has not been realized.

Tong Guan knew in his heart that if he wanted to have a very heavy weight in the court, in order to make himself enjoy endless glory and wealth, he only had many years of fighting abroad, which was the foundation to ensure that he had both, because the frontier war had been unmatched for many years, and only by continuing to fight on the frontier could he stabilize his position in the government and the opposition, and at the same time, the frontier war was a way for Tong Guan to make a lot of money, so Tong Guan was under the guise of opening up the frontier, but in fact he was a man who sold his reputation and deserved to be one of the six thieves!

This time, Tong Guan persuaded the government and the opposition to raise a crowd of 10,000 people to decide to crusade against the Liao State in order to wash away the humiliation of his birthday.

The abbot and others welcomed Tong Guan into the Buddhist hall, and at this moment, Yuan Ping and the white eagle Tong Guan saw that they liked it very much, so they entered the temple with everyone and sat around.

Tong Guan, who sat firmly, looked at the monks around him and said with a smile on his face

"I came this time, not for anything else, but the imperial court entrusted with an important task, Liao has been peeking at my country for a long time, this is also well known, fortunately my lord Shengming, so that the Liao country to the south can be destroyed, but we can not sit still, we should take the initiative to attack, recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, in order to repay the heart of the holy lord, round the ambition of the emperors of the past dynasties, so I came this time not for anything else, but I hope to be the same people of the Great Song Dynasty, I hope that your temple will help and serve the court. ”

After listening carefully to Tong Guan's speech, the abbot said with a difficult face

"It's not that my temple is unwilling to help, it's just that my temple is shallow in learning, and the heart is more than enough strength, these monks are also quiet and have few desires, and they have long lost the idea of fighting, and the dust is disturbed, so I hope that the privy envoy will forgive me, if it is to protect the family and defend the country, my temple will definitely help. ”

"I don't think it's very appropriate for the abbot to say this, do we have to wait for the enemy to attack us before we counterattack? ”

"Master Tong's words are reasonable, let go of our monks and quiet and few desires to talk about it for the time being, the Liao and Song Dynasty have been reconciled for a hundred years, and the people of the frontier have lived and worked in peace and contentment for a hundred years. ”

"The abbot's words are to the point, the sixteen states of Yanyun were originally the territory of our dynasty, and the Liao State has taken my territory for a long time, is it possible that there is still a reason to recover his lost territory?"

"I am a monk, and I have looked down on the world, and in my opinion, there is nothing more important than reconciliation between the two countries, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"So, when the Liao Kingdom destroys our Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't hurt for the people to live and work in peace and contentment?" At this time, Tong Guan stood up from the stool angrily.

"Lao Wei didn't mean this, it's better like this, if my temple receives the holy will, my temple will definitely send troops to help, how about it?"

Tong Guan saw that the abbot took the saint to speak, and he was no longer good at speaking, and saw that Shaolin was unwilling to send troops at the moment, and it was really inappropriate if he came hard, in this dilemma, it was better to get off the donkey and think about it in the long run, so he waved his sleeves and went out of the temple with a "hum".

When the abbot saw Tong Guan out of Shaolin, he gathered the abbots and Duan Lingxiao and Yuan Ping to discuss internal affairs, and the abbot closed the doors and windows

"I asked you to come here for nothing else, because Master Tong came here just now to ask me to send troops from Shaolin, I want to hear everyone's opinions. ”

The abbot of the colleague listened and said

"I think the abbot avoided Lord Tong today, and he already had an idea in his heart. ”

"You're right, but I'm listening to you. ”

"In my opinion, the abbot did the right thing, Tong Guan usually shows off his martial arts, and he does all kinds of evil in the government and the opposition, and he does this to stabilize his position, and we Shaolin don't need to take this risk. ”

Zu Sheng replied after hearing this

"I disagree with my uncle, I think the affairs of the court should be our Shaolin affairs, protecting the family and defending the country is our Shaolin ancestral teaching, Tong is right, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures has always been the heart of our dynasty, we should work together to recover the lost territory. ”

After that, the abbots and monks discussed and argued, and finally the abbot said

"Okay, let's stop discussing for the time being, Duqing, I see that you haven't answered, I want to hear your thoughts. ”

Seeing this, Duan Lingxiao folded his hands

"Yes, Master, in my opinion, recovering the lost territory is a sure and necessary thing, and it is also certain that our Shaolin will help, but we can't be blind, and we can't do unprepared wars, after all, the war is big, and we can't be rash. ”

The abbot laughed when he heard this

"Haha, those who know me, it is not Du Qingye, you can continue to talk. ”

Duan Lingxiao continued

"I also learned about the character of Master Tong, this person has a bad character, he wants to use the power of Shaolin to help him might, he sells his reputation, why should we work for him? If we help him, wouldn't it be adding moths to the court? Isn't it worth the loss, so in my opinion, the lost land is harvested sooner or later, but we should not be in a hurry. ”

The abbot stood up at this time and said

"Duqing basically explained my mind, now the Fangla uprising has just been rehabilitated, Liangshan thieves have not been eliminated, the Western Xia has been fighting our dynasty for many years and has not been able to recuperate, again, if we send troops to Liao, it will inevitably be a disaster for our dynasty, and there is also the spirit of defeat, so we are for the country and the people, not only can we not send troops to Liao, but we also have to prevent the dispatch of troops to Liao. ”

At this moment, Duan Lingxiao heard the abbot say that Liangshan was a thief, and he was dissatisfied, but he wanted to go back but was seen by Yuan Ping, Yuan Ping grabbed Duan Lingxiao's hand and signaled not to say more, Duan Lingxiao was choked back again, and the abbot saw Duan Lingxiao and wanted to speak again, and asked him to explain that Duan Lingxiao only said that the abbot was reasonable, and the disciple thought the same.

"In that case, Qingdu, I give you a heavy responsibility, you go to Bianliang to find a person named Zhou Bangyan, I will write to you later, and you give him the letter. ”

"Yes, the disciple obeys the abbot's decree. ”

Duan Lingxiao and Yuan Ping stayed in the temple for half a day, Duan Lingxiao saw all the brothers practicing martial arts, recalling the four seasons of the peak to practice martial arts, he couldn't help but feel nostalgic in his heart, and also connected with his brothers and sisters to join the martial arts.

Zu Sheng couldn't help but sigh

"It's really gratifying that Qingdu can have such a cultivation now, I haven't been able to ask you, is this woman really your sister?"

It turned out that Zu Sheng had already seen the clue and would ask like this, Duan Lingxiao replied

"Yes, Master, he is not only my sister, but also my master, what's wrong, Master?"

"That's fine, I'm relieved, it's okay, Master is just asking. ”

In the afternoon, the abbot ordered Duan Lingxiao to enter the back hall, the abbot handed over the written letter to Duan Lingxiao and asked Duan Lingxiao to stay in the temple tonight, leaving for Kyoto early tomorrow morning, Duan Lingxiao took the letter, saying that he wanted to stay with his sister, and it was not appropriate for his sister to stay in Shaolin at night.

Duan Lingxiao finally couldn't hold back his emotions and asked the abbot about the whereabouts of his father and stepfather.

"Abbot Master, these days I asked the surrounding abbot disciples about the whereabouts of my father's father-in-law, and they all avoided it, what the hell is going on, is it my father and father-in-law who have suffered an accident?"

"It's someone else, and I told you not to tell you. The abbot replied slowly.

"Why? Is something really going on?" Duan Lingxiao was in a hurry at this time, so he kept asking, after Duan Lingxiao's repeated questioning, the abbot also felt that sooner or later the matter was going to be told to Qingdu, so he told Duan Lingxiao the original story, Duan Lingxiao was very sad after hearing it, blaming himself for not fulfilling his filial piety.

Duan Lingxiao, who came out of the Buddhist hall, was a little depressed, thinking that he had been with his father less and more over the years, and now his father was in the tiger's den, life and death were uncertain, thinking about the scene of his adoptive father's tragic death in the basement, his heart was suddenly terrified, and he thought that without further ado, he must save his father as soon as possible, and he couldn't let his father take the old path of his adoptive father, thinking that although he had little time with his father, his father-in-law took good care of him, just like his own father, and his father-in-law was humiliated so far, thinking of this, he slapped himself in the mouth, blaming himself for leaving and saying that he would clear his father's shame, but it has not been realized until now。 (The novel "Snow Mountain Carving" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner "Add Friends", search for the official account "qdread" and follow, hurry up!)
