Chapter 45 (Middle) The fragrance of the white lotus blooms everywhere
On the second day, most of the families have an extra white lotus flower on the door, and there is a note painted with Maitreya Buddha under the lotus flower: "The white lotus is in the world, the red light covers the top, Maitreya is reincarnated, and the Yuan is dead and Song Xing!" All the people rushed to tell each other, most of them were panicked, and when they talked about the Kong Ming lantern that fell from the sky last night, they all felt incredible, could it be that the "sky" was going to change?
This matter had already reached the ears of Kublai Khan, and after the early dynasty, he was furious and returned to the palace to summon people related to the tournament. Zhang Jue, who was in charge of the defense of the capital, was first questioned.
Li Heng was secretly delighted, just waiting to see Zhang Jue's liveliness. But I heard Zhang Jue defend: "Qi played the Great Khan, the minister was responsible for the security of Kyoto, when the Kong Ming lantern suddenly flew, the minister knew that there was a difference, but the safety of the imperial city and the Great Khan bore the brunt, so he sent heavy troops to garrison, and at the same time sent people to the west of the city to inspect, and deployed people around the imperial city, but no one was found, and later I learned that the target of the Lu Dao thieves was to teach the military field, where Li Hengren's subordinates guarded ......"
Li Heng heard a chill down his spine, he was still proud just now, he didn't expect Zhang Jue to put the responsibility on him in a few words, it was not amazing, and he was about to refute a few words and say that Zhang Jue was not, but he heard Zhang Jue say again: "The minister knows that he is also guilty of negligence, please punish the Great Khan!" What he wanted to say was blocked back.
Kublai Khan nodded, "Okay, you put the safety of the imperial city first, but there is nothing wrong with it, after retiring from the dynasty, you must send more people, and you must find out who did it." As soon as he said a word, Zhang Jue had nothing to do, and Li Heng was not annoyed.
"Li Heng, what do you have to say?" Kublai Khan asked Li Heng with a calm face.
Li Heng was so frightened that he quickly knelt down: "Qi Song Great Khan, minister...... I thought that this matter was related to the gossip gate in Saibei. He couldn't think of how to answer for a while, last night he saw Kong Ming's lantern flying by with his own eyes but he didn't send someone to guard like Zhang Qi, he could only blame himself for being too careless, he couldn't imagine that Wang Xiao's hard-trained man-eating wolf had been wiped out before all his might was displayed. So he had to change the subject and provide some clues.
Although he knew that the Dao Bagua Gate might not be related to this matter, everything was done by Lu Ya and others, but he didn't say anything, and left some room for Li Heng.
Kublai Khan slapped the table in front of him loudly and shouted to Li Heng: "Then why don't you go and check it out?!"
Li Heng was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up: "This is going, this is going." He turned around and trotted down the hall, only gritting his teeth and creaking, he thought that the Bagua Gate was involved in this matter, so he hated these Central Plains martial arts people.
After he left, Kublai Khan leaned back in his chair and scolded, "What a rice bucket!"
Boyan said: "Great Khan, calm your anger, I don't know if this martial arts conference will continue?"
Kublai Khan's remaining anger did not subside, and when he saw that it was Boyan who spoke, he was angry, snorted, and said: "The White Lotus Sect has already made trouble in the capital, and you people still don't know what to do, if you annihilate them in one fell swoop in Jiangnan, why would there be today's chaos?"
Boyan touched a nail, and he didn't dare to speak, Kublai Khan looked at him, remembered his past achievements, sighed, and continued: "I'll forget about the martial arts competition. They came prepared, and the military field burned down...... You can just stop it, right?"
"Great Khan, it can't be canceled. ”
As soon as Kublai Khan saw that it was the national teacher who was speaking, he asked, "Why can't it be canceled?"
Yi Se Lianzhen gave a Buddha salute and said, "Those people from the White Lotus Sect are going to sabotage the martial arts competition, and we have canceled the trick that has fallen into them, but it seems that the imperial court is afraid of them. In addition, through this martial arts competition, we may catch the betrayal of the White Lotus Sect and find an opportunity to wipe them out. ”
Kublai Khan pondered for a while, "It makes sense, in this way, you go and arrange another location for the competition, preferably outside the capital, so as not to cause trouble again,...... Zhang Jue, you also have to send heavy troops to execute the thieves immediately if they are found. ”
Boyan said: "But it will take some time to rebuild the martial arts arena......
Kublai Khan glared at him fiercely and said, "You should also ask me about this kind of thing, you send someone to supervise it, the sooner the better, and it is better not to be in the city, lest there be another trouble." Issued a notice, the tournament was postponed, you can choose the location yourself, don't bother me with everything, I'm not feeling well, go back to rest first, you can do it yourself. He stood up with his forehead in his hands and walked away, but his movements were a little difficult.
This year, he was already seventy-four years old, and he gradually felt that his energy was not as good as before. Everyone looked at Kublai Khan's bloated back, and they all felt like a hero in the twilight.
In the next few days, Li Heng sent people to find the inn where the Bagua Gate was located to investigate, and did not find the two suspicious people, now if Lu Chun, Lu Peng and others were arrested and questioned, and he was afraid of startling the snake, not to mention that he was also worried about another dispute in the current extraordinary period, if it caused the dissatisfaction of other sects, it was also inappropriate, he sent Yuan Zhenbiao to monitor the Bagua Gate, and at the same time instructed Wang Xiao to pay close attention to the idle people in the capital.
Five days later, the martial arts tournament was re-set up in the eastern suburbs, but this time there were a lot fewer people than when the opening of the first day, many people had left because they knew that their martial arts were low, and some people were worried that the White Lotus Sect would not be able to make trouble, and there were some people who understood, seeing through the conspiracy of the Mongols, and evacuated early in the morning, as soon as the tournament began, it was deserted, and the wolves were burned to death, and the officers and soldiers were listless, and there was no majestic atmosphere at all.
Yishi Lianzhen sat on the stage, and saw that there were few teams from the Central Plains under the stage, but those who stayed were some masters who were difficult to deal with, including some relatively large sects such as Bagua Gate, Songshan, Shaolin, etc., and some idle people who watched the excitement, but none of these people could match the flying eagle.
Li Heng only paid attention to the people in the gossip gate, but he didn't see the two bald men. There were many doubts in my heart, this gossip gate actually dared to appear at the conference, could it be that they didn't do it? They glanced at Yuan Zhenbiao and asked him to start announcing the start of the conference.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhenbiao stepped into the ring and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there was some small accident a few days ago, the White Lotus Sect disrupted the martial arts competition and burned down the military field, so today I restarted the last round of the competition, please continue to come to the stage to compete with the two who did not win or lose last time." He was also ordered by Li Heng, as soon as the two of them came to power, they would be arrested immediately, but there was no movement after shouting for a long time. Looking back at Li Heng, Li Heng shook his head at him.
Yuan Zhenbiao had to say that "since the last two didn't come, it should be regarded as an automatic abstention, so let's invite the other one to come to the stage, who will come first?"
Before the words fell, Songshan sent Liu Datong to laugh, Yuan Zhenbiao asked: "Songshan Liu Zhang, why are you laughing?"
