Chapter 461: The Waves Rise
"About two months ago," said Master Huifa, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, "holding a notice from the palace to see Lao Gao, although Shaolin Temple has ignored the affairs of the rivers and lakes for so many years, but has always had a supportive attitude towards the government and never embarrassed the government, so Lao Gao met them."
Lao Wei originally thought that this was just a routine meeting, after all, since the establishment of this dynasty, the Shaolin Temple just gathered disciples, cultivated and recuperated, and did not have much contact with the imperial court, and the relationship with this dynasty was not too close. They came to Shaolin Temple to see Lao Gao, just to get closer to each other and not to be too estranged.
Who would have expected that as soon as the father-in-law Xu who was the leader spoke, the old man felt that the situation was wrong.
It turned out that the imperial court had recently established a new institution, called the Internal Affairs Supervisor, which was presided over by Zhang Quanzhong Zhang Gonggong of the current dynasty, and they came this time to invite the Shaolin Temple to join the Internal Affairs Supervisor, and indicated that they hoped that Uncle Ran would join. ”
Hearing this, Li Fengyun couldn't help but be surprised, the Fengyun Dart Bureau didn't pay much attention to the internal affairs supervisor, because the internal affairs supervisor was low-key, and listening to this name, it should be in charge of some things in the palace, and there was no need for the Fengyun Dart Bureau to get involved in the battle in the palace.
Hearing Master Huifa say this, Li Fengyun immediately felt that he was afraid that he was thinking about the internal affairs supervisor simply. I'm afraid that the power of the internal affairs supervisor is far greater than he originally thought, otherwise, there is no need for them to come to the Shaolin Temple and ask the Shaolin Temple to join the internal affairs supervisor, and the emperor Shi Chonggui will not allow them to do so.
Thinking that the head of the internal affairs supervisor turned out to be Zhang Qianzhong, the first confidant of Emperor Shi Chonggui's side, Li Fengyun's heart jumped violently, could it be that the emperor was ready to let the internal eunuchs interfere in politics and set up an organization similar to Qianniuwei? This has always been a taboo in government affairs. Of course, Li Fengyun didn't quite understand why it was a big taboo, he had heard Feng Dao say this.
At the same time, Li Fengyun also felt funny, Shaolin Temple is the Taishan Beidou in the martial arts, and the only forces in the world that can be ranked with it are Wudang Xuanwu Palace, Demon Sect Chilian Cliff and Yonggu Palace. Among them, the time for the rise of the Demon Sect and the Yonggu Palace is too short, although the scale is not weaker than the Shaolin Temple, but in terms of the prestige in the rivers and lakes, it is much inferior.
Zhang Qianzhong actually wanted such a giant to obey the orders of the internal affairs supervisor, could it be that his head was kicked by a donkey? It is impossible to think about it, if the Shaolin Temple really does this, its reputation accumulated over hundreds of years is afraid that it will immediately plummet. It can be seen that Zhang Qianzhong does not understand today's martial arts. I really think that under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.
"What did the abbot say?" Li Fengyun asked with a smile.
"Naturally, the old man refused to agree, and politely declined!" replied Master Huifa, "how could the old man agree to such a thing, and besides, Uncle Ran was still in retreat at that time, so how could the old man disturb him?"
Who knew that this actually angered a eunuch, and threatened that the Shaolin Temple had to agree if it agreed, and it had to agree if it didn't agree. If you dare to disobey the emperor's will and oppose the imperial court, the imperial court will transfer a large army, burn down the Shaolin Temple, and set foot on the Shaolin Mountain.
At that time, the disciples of the Luohan Hall and the Dharma Academy were furious, and the two sides almost clashed, and the meeting broke up unhappily.
Before leaving, Gonggong Xu left a sentence, hoping that Shaolin Temple would consider it carefully and not make a decision that people regretted. ”
Threatening the Shaolin Temple, Li Fengyun was dumbfounded, not to mention that the Jin Kingdom is now in a stormy situation, and it is going to conquer the Khitan in the north, whether it can draw the strength to level the Shaolin Temple is still debatable, even if the Jin Kingdom is really this power, it is easy to eradicate the Shaolin Temple, but the ensuing waves on the rivers and lakes, how does the imperial court plan to calm down?
You must know that at the beginning of a Tai peak competition, there were no less than tens of thousands of martial arts people gathered at the foot of Mount Tai, and the second- and third-rate masters in the entire Central Plains martial arts were probably no less than 100,000 people.
Sighing, Li Fengyun said: "I'm afraid this matter is not what the emperor meant, although the emperor is so happy and can't see the changes in the current situation clearly, but he is not a dumb monarch, and he can't do such things." ”
Master Huifa nodded and said, "Lao Wei also thinks so, the emperor has all the opportunities, how can he have time to take care of such a trivial matter as Shaolin Temple, there should be someone who misinterprets the meaning of the saint."
After Gonggong Xu and the others left, more than ten days later, General Jingyan Guangjing of Luoyang also came. Of course, General Jing's words were more polite, only saying that now the situation in the Central Plains is turbulent, and the Khitan is eyeing it, and the people in the Central Plains martial arts should understand the difficulties of the imperial court, cooperate with the imperial court, and work hard to make it in one place, twisting it into a rope. At this time, there must be no more civil strife. ”
Hearing Jing Yanguang's name, Li Fengyun's heart moved, and he asked, "Is General Jing also in Luoyang?
After Jing Yanguang was belittled, Li Fengyun didn't care too much about his whereabouts, the two never knew each other, and they didn't know each other all their lives, so Li Fengyun had no reason to pay attention to him.
The first time I heard the name of Jing Yanguang, it was in the broken temple of Guo Ziyi in Hebei, when Li Fengyun listened to Gongsun Wuwu's evaluation of Jing Yanguang, and he didn't have a good impression of him, but felt that he was a reckless and incompetent man.
After Zhenzhou joined the army, Guo Wei's words changed Li Fengyun's impression of Jing Yanguang, knowing that Jing Yanguang also had unspeakable difficulties, and the mistakes made by Jing Yanguang were not only his fault, but also the fault of the entire court. In any respect, Jing Yanguang can be regarded as a well-known man, a brave and loyal minister. It's just that his responsibilities are far beyond his ability.
Now hearing Master Huifa mention it, Li Fengyun unconsciously loves talents, no matter what, Jing Yanguang is a first-class master, and he is not a weak first-class master, the first fierce general of the Great Jin, whether it is martial arts or generals, there are commendable points. It is a pity that such a person is put in Luoyang, and there is no place for heroes.
Huifa shook his head and said, "Lao Wei heard that after General Jing came to Luoyang, he drank and listened to songs all day long, ignored military affairs, and rarely socialized with people, and lived a leisurely life. ”
Li Fengyun understood that Huifa was saying that Jing Yanguang had been abolished. It's no wonder that he is obviously a loyal and brave tiger, but he is kept in captivity as a mad dog, how can he not be ambitious?
Putting aside the matter of Jing Yanguang, Master Huifa continued: "Not only General Jing, but also the prefect of Luoyang at that time, as well as the surrounding civil and military officials, came to Shaolin Temple like a marquee, and came to Shaolin Temple more than a dozen times, some persuaded with good words, and some were coerced by threats.
The disciples of Shaolin Temple will also encounter many inexplicable difficulties when they go around to do errands, and even several disciples have been imprisoned by the local government in the name of Jiangyang thieves. Even if the old man went to ask for it in person, he ignored it. ”
Li Fengyun sighed secretly, in order to force the Shaolin Temple to comply, the internal affairs supervisor really spent a lot of thought.
"Then later, how could it be to the point of assassinating the master?" Su Yunong asked a little puzzled.
"Those little tricks, you can't help Shaolin Temple!" Huifa sighed and said, "Even those disciples who were arrested and imprisoned, after all, there is no real evidence, General Jing and my Shaolin have some friendship, and it is inconvenient to manage it now, but after a long time, this matter will cool down, and he will order the release of people."
General Jing is right, now that the dynasty is in danger, Shaolin Temple really shouldn't make trouble at this time, those disciples should let them face the wall for a while. Originally, Shaolin Temple was intended to calm things down.
Who would have thought that more than ten days ago, Gonggong Xu returned to Shaolin Temple with hundreds of masters and thousands of officers and soldiers in Luoyang, and among the masters he led, there were more than ten first-class masters and more than 100 second-rate masters. Looking at the meaning, he still really wants to bulldoze the Shaolin Temple. ”
The matter is so big, Li Fengyun was shocked, if the two sides really want to make a move and die, it is not a trivial matter, this is simply the court to force the Shaolin Temple.
In this situation, the internal affairs supervisor actually made such a stupid move to force the Shaolin Temple, and Li Fengyun went to Kaifeng to strangle Zhang Duzhong.
Although Shaolin Temple ignores the world, it does not mean that the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple, as well as the affiliated sects also ignore the world, in fact, many of these people are secretly supporting the Jin State, rushing to the battlefield, and there is no shortage of people who serve the country.
At this time, if something happens to the Shaolin Temple, no one can predict what the situation will become.
"What happened?" Li Fengyun asked anxiously, "Did the two sides really start to move?"
