Chapter Ninety-Five: The Combination of Imperial Power and Buddhist Temples
Outside Yueyang City, there is a Taoist temple.
Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, white walls and green bricks, green trees are shady, pines and cypresses reflect each other, in the antique Taoist temple, there is a statue of a god, sleeves and streamers, fairy wind bones.
In front of the statue, a bronze incense burner, a pillar of incense sticks inserted on it, smoke curling, hanging on the side of the gossip map, bright yellow curtain rolled up, four yellow futons, three Taoists sitting cross-legged.
All of them closed their eyes and recuperated, and their faces were clear.
A Taoist priest in Tsing Yi came in from outside, with a golden crown and tied hair, his face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows were upside down, revealing a yin qi, his eyes swept over the three Taoists, and then he headed towards the three people's luggage.
"The three senior uncles have already inquired about the entrance to the Dragon Palace!"
The three Daoists opened their eyes together, and the Daoist in the middle raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Are you sure he is in the Dragon Palace?"
"Well, although I don't know who came out of the road, but the surroundings of Dongting Lake have been searched, and now only Dongting Lake is left. The Taoist priest in Tsing Yi nodded.
"What's going on over there in the Heavenly Demon Dao, the Moon Worship Gate, and the Hehuan Dao?"
"They are already rushing towards Dongting Lake, and they should be preparing to make a move on the Dragon Palace. ”
The three Taoists glanced at each other and looked at the Taoist priest in Tsing Yi, "Go down and arrange, the secret on his body can't fall into the hands of the evil demon outer Dao, if we can't get it, then we will destroy him." Dongting Dragon Palace?"
In Yueyang City, in a small courtyard.
Zhang Daoyuan and Zhang Qing were playing chess, the chessboard was black and white, and behind Zhang Daoyuan, Xiao Yixuan was wearing a Confucian robe and was looking at the chessboard intently.
A general in armor and holding a halberd walked in, Xiao Yixuan saw it, and hurriedly walked over, the general whispered a few words in Xiao Yixuan's ear, Xiao Yixuan frowned, and then stretched his eyebrows, letting the general walk out.
Xiao Yixuan walked back, and soon, Zhang Qing pinched a chess piece, raised his eyebrows, and then put the chess piece back in the box, and smiled, "Uncle has superb chess skills, and my nephew is invincible!"
Zhang Daoyuan's wrinkles stretched on his face like dead wood, and he also smiled, "It's very powerful, your chess path is much calmer than when you were young, but unfortunately, your heart is not above learning, otherwise, your achievements are definitely not lower than mine!"
Zhang Qing smiled, did not speak, and his eyes fell on Xiao Yixuan.
"Xiao Xian's nephew, but there is news?"
Zhang Daoyuan also looked at Xiao Yixuan, although the two of them were concentrating on playing chess just now, some movements could still be heard.
"Well, someone released a word, saying that Ning Wujian was hiding in the Dongting Dragon Palace, and now the people of the evil path and the demon path are gathered in Dongting Lake, and some righteous paths such as Xuanxin Dao and Yuxian Gate have also appeared. ”
Zhang Daoyuan's white eyebrows twitched, "These outsiders are becoming more and more restless, the imperial court used their strength to quell the rebellion, I thought that these people had transcended the world, but I didn't expect to dare to interfere in the society and the country, Xuanxin Dao colluded with King Qin, Heavenly Demon Dao and the crown prince to go together, and wanted to interfere with the imperial power?"
"This time the emperor is angry, is it because of Yang Wen's incident?" Zhang Qing is in Jiangnan, but he has also heard about some things in the imperial court, not to mention that Yang Wen's incident is widely spread.
Since ancient times, the royal family has no family affection, and the emperor has scruples about his courtiers and relatives holding power, and monitoring them in every way, and the struggle within the court is by no means easier than the battle of officialdom, or even more cruel.
"In the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty, today's saint is already the year of the sixtieth year, the world is gradually peaceful, and the dispute between the prince and the Qin king for the throne tends to be white-hot, which is already on the bright side, and the prince controls the internal affairs, but he is disliked by the emperor because of his collusion with the Heavenly Demon Dao.
The king of Qin fought in the south and the north, with great achievements, with heavy troops in his hands, his talent was remarkable, and the emperor did intend to pass on to him, but unfortunately the king of Qin was too anxious and wanted to use Yang Wengan to bring down the prince at once, but it was a pity that it was self-defeating, and the prince lost a force, but it also exposed the heart of disobedience, causing the emperor to scruple. ”
Zhang Daoyuan pinched the chess pieces and said slowly.
"The emperor is in good health, if there is no serious illness, it is not a problem to reign for ten years, the crown prince and the king of Qin can't wait. In particular, the King of Qin is already a master of high merit, and it is not impossible to usurp the throne and seek a dynasty. The emperor wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the wings of the two princes?"
Zhang Qing was thoughtful and quickly guessed what Zhang Daoyuan meant.
"Well, to be exact, Jinshan Temple and White Horse Temple are standing behind the emperor, ready to fight Taoism, the emperor is just by the way with the help of the power of Buddhism, I heard that not long ago the Buddha of Xitianling Mountain appeared in Jinshan Temple, and gave a dream to the abbot Master Fahui, who wants to pass down the scriptures and Buddhism to the east, and needs a monk from the Tang Dynasty. ”
"The dispute between Dao and Buddha may endanger the society, what is the emperor thinking?" Zhang Qing worried.
Zhang Daoyuan smiled lightly, "The emperor has already found the location of the eighth and ninth emperor's holy orders, maybe that's the case, the emperor needs time." By the way, I remember that Luo Ying should be eighteen years old, I don't know if I have a family?"
Zhang Qing smiled bitterly and had a headache, "Don't mention it, like her mother, she is very wild, she ran away from home two years ago, slipped away to Chang'an City, and beat Li Gongtai, she is so old that she has not yet been married." ”
"Oh, it turns out that the one who beat the prince is Xian's niece, hahaha......"
Zhang Daoyuan stroked his beard, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, he was not in Chang'an two years ago, naturally he didn't know about it, he smiled, and said: "I see that Yi Xuan is also unmarried, he is a distant relative of Prime Minister Xiao Yu, and he is also a good match with the Zhang family, why don't they get married?"
Zhang Qing glanced at Xiao Yixuan, saw that he had no objection, and guessed that it might be the meaning of the Zhang family and the Xiao family over there in Chang'an.
"This matter, I think about it, and I am not in a hurry, Xiao Gongzi is a talent, but the little girl is stubborn, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the eyes of the law, so let's wait for them to see it!"
"That's it, that's fine!"
Zhang Daoyuan smiled faintly, he also knew that Zhang Qing had a temperament, and he was also extremely stubborn when he was young, the Zhang family ordered him a family affair, but he escaped from Lu on the day he got married, and later married a Jianghu woman and came back, almost not angry with his father.
Zhang Daoyuan pressed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and said slowly, "Now that the fish have gathered together, it's time to close the net." ”
Dongting Dragon Palace Water Mansion.
Ning Wuqian stood beside a crystal bed, the Dongting Dragon King was healing Chen Qinglong's injuries, Chen Qinglong's hair was scattered, and he was covered with large and small wounds, the most terrifying thing was the few sword wounds behind him that were deep and bone-deep.
"At that time, the little ones were in the lake, and they saw a person jumping into Dongting Lake, and there were many strong human beings chasing and killing him, and this person also mentioned the name of the king before jumping into the lake, and the little ones felt that maybe this person knew the king, so they rescued him back to Dongting Lake. ”
Shrimp Three and Shrimp Four are standing aside, talking about the whole thing.
Ning Wuqian frowned, who was so ruthless to Chen Qinglong?
What about the others, what happened?
