The weather in February is still a bit cold.
In the morning, the sun was still rising, but in a blink of an eye, it was covered by dark clouds, making it look like a storm was coming.
Tian's study room.
Tian Ziyun was wearing a thick brocade robe and had a cold expression on his face. After a debate with Lin Feng yesterday, he vomited blood twice in a row. When he returned home, he was even more drowsy and fell asleep for a long time. After dinner in the evening, I asked Tian Changle and learned that Tian Changle was not at home. Tian Ziyun was even more angry and his liver hurt, but he still went to bed early.
Early this morning, after Tian Ziyun got up, he asked again, but there was still no news about Tian Changle.
He was even more angry.
Tian Changle was his first daughter, especially Tian Ziyun, who had all his sons on his knees. He had only such a youngest daughter, so he was extremely doting on her.
Unexpectedly, Tian Changle would backstab like this yesterday and go on stage to deliver a message to Lin Feng in public.
He was very angry.
Tian Ziyun has already ordered people to inquire about Tian Changle and must bring Tian Changle back.
But, no one has been found yet.
While Tian Ziyun was waiting, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the study.
"Come in."
Tian Ziyun gave an order.
The door was pushed open with a creak, and a middle-aged man thirty years away entered.
The visitor's name is Tian Changshan, the son of Tian Ziyun. Among Tian Ziyun’s many sons, Tian Changshan has quite a business mind and is good at taking care of affairs. Therefore, even though Tian Changshan was not the legitimate son or the eldest son, he was still entrusted with important responsibilities by Tian Ziyun.
However, Tian Changshan's face had a worried look and a deep sense of panic. After he entered the study and stood still, he quickly said: "Father, something serious has happened. Something serious has happened."
Tian Ziyun was already in a bad mood. After listening to Tian Changshan's words, there was no key message. He snorted and scolded: "I'm still deaf. You don't have to repeat it. I can hear it clearly."
Tian Changshan's face froze, he smiled coyly, and quickly explained: "Father, news just came from outside. Last night, King Langya personally led 10,000 forbidden troops into the Great Ci'en Temple and slaughtered them all. The same goes for Yufeng Temple.”
"After the two temples were captured, abducted women were found in Da Ci'en Temple and Yufeng Temple. Among them, Da Ci'en Temple imprisoned more than 300 women, and Yufeng Temple imprisoned more than 500 women. It can be said that they have a lot of bad records. .”
"The news has spread and people's hearts are boiling."
"Countless people are calling loudly to destroy temples and investigate Buddhism."
Tian Changshan said: "It is said that today's Daci'en Temple and Yufeng Temple are filled with rivers of blood and corpses everywhere, including all monks."
boom! !
Tian Ziyun's mind was like thunder exploding.
He was stunned.
The emperor was so brave, he actually sent people to massacre two temples. Even, in order to ensure a stable victory, a full 10,000 forbidden troops were mobilized.
Tian Ziyun swallowed his saliva and felt as if it was getting dark, and his head was a little dizzy. He raised his hand, rubbed his temples, and thought quickly. He has an inexplicable relationship with Buddhism. Now that Buddhism has collapsed, what will he do next?
It was difficult for him to live alone.
This time, the Tian family is going to have a big problem.
Tian Ziyun recovered for a while, calmed down a little, and asked, "Where are Huichu and Hui'an?"
"died!"
Tian Changshan said: "Both these two great masters were killed. In addition to Daci'en Temple and Yufeng Temple being annihilated last night, there was also news that Baoxiang Temple had confessed to the court. As such, Baoxiang Temple was not destroyed. Slaughter.”
"Baoxiang Temple took the initiative to report to the emperor and was willing to reduce the number of monks, leaving only a hundred monks and only a hundred acres of land to supply itself. The remaining money, food and land accumulated by Baoxiang Temple were all handed over to the imperial court."
"Taking advantage of this incident, the imperial court has issued a decree that Buddhist temples in the world can only have a maximum of one hundred monks and a maximum of one hundred acres of land. The excess land must be handed over to the imperial court. The excess monks must return to secular life."
There was a hint of vibrato in Tian Changshan's voice as he said, "This order has already begun to be promulgated."
Tian Ziyun asked: "The Buddhist sect has been dealt with, but has my Tian family been involved?"
"Not yet!"
Tian Changshan shook his head.
Tian Ziyun rolled his eyes, thought quickly, and murmured to himself: "Your Majesty has never dealt with me, and has never involved the Tian family. Could it be that he thinks that I have some merits, or that he is a master and can't bear to do it? "
Tian Changshan said: "Maybe."
"Yes, yes, that should be the truth."
Tian Ziyun muttered to himself, constantly giving himself confidence and strengthening his confidence. But when he thought of Tian Yu and Yan Zichu's methods, his heart sank again. Langya King Tian Yu and Prime Minister Yan Zichu seemed gentle, but in fact they were extremely harsh in their governance.
As long as they don't take action, once Tian Yu and Yan Zichu take action, it will definitely be thunderous.
That doesn't mean there will be no problem here. Because it just involves Buddhism, there must be a lot of things involved, and the court may not have finished handling it. As a result, Tian Ziyun now has no way to predict what will happen in the end, and is still uneasy in his heart.
"Report!"
At this moment, an attendant hurriedly entered.
The attendant reported: "Master, the young lady is back. She just returned home and said she wanted to see you for something important."
"bring it here."
Tian Ziyun's face turned cold.
He wanted to see what this damn girl was doing?
The attendant went to inform him, and not long after, Tian Changle entered. She submitted information about the debate yesterday and quietly left the debate venue. Considering that this behavior would definitely make her old father furious, she rested in Zhuangzi outside Tianjia City and waited for her old father's anger to subside before returning.
Tian Changle's face was filled with a smile and he said softly: "Father."
"You still have the nerve to come back and see me. Are you the daughter of my Tian family, or are you on Lin Feng's side? How did you and Lin Feng know each other? Tell me clearly. Also, why did you go up to the stage to help? Lin Feng?"
When Tian Ziyun saw Tian Changle and thought of Lin Feng, he became even more furious.
Tian Changle made a plop, knelt on the ground, and explained: "Father, Lin Feng and I do know each other, but we only have a few encounters and no deep friendship. The reason why I know Lin Feng is because Xunzi, Liu Gui and others are actually To criticize Buddhism is actually to criticize my father and become his enemy."
"The daughter didn't want to see them slandering her father, especially when Lin Feng came to Qi to help Xunzi. So when the daughter got the news that Lin Feng had arrived outside Linzi City, she went to trouble Lin Feng with weapons in hand, trying to make him admit that her teacher Xunzi was wrong."
"Unexpectedly, I was defeated by Lin Feng."
"Because it involves Buddhism, my daughter carefully investigated Buddhism. There are indeed many problems, and it can even be said to be a harbor of evil. Because Lin Feng wanted to defend Buddhism, my daughter couldn't help him, and she happened to know the secrets of the debate. He seduced women everywhere, and even After sleeping with these women, they fall out ruthlessly and ignore them at all."
"It is precisely because of this that my daughter can collect Bianji's letters."
"My daughter is guilty, please punish her father."
She knew that what she did was definitely a betrayal of the Tian family, but her conscience couldn't bear it.
She's going to do what needs to be done.
Tian Ziyun frowned when he heard what Tian Changle said. He was originally furious and wanted to question Tian Changle, but he heard that the reason why his daughter was causing trouble to Lin Feng was because of his old father.
The anger that filled his heart suddenly dissipated.
When it comes to Bian Ji, because of what Bian Ji did, this Bian Ji was a slut.
Tian Ziyun had always doted on Tian Changle. His anger dissipated, and when he looked at Tian Changle, there was no trace of anger left. He snorted, waved his hand and said, "In that case, why didn't you come back last night? Where did you go?"
Tian Changle explained: "My daughter is thinking that her father is not in good health. Once you come back, you will definitely be angry and hurt your body, which will affect your father's health. Therefore, my daughter rested at Tian's Zhuangzi outside the city last night. This morning, my daughter was worried about her father's health. , came back."
"You, alas..."
Tian Ziyun sighed and had nothing to do with Tian Changle. He could only say: "You went on stage directly yesterday. Although you said it was just, the timing was wrong."
He wanted to say that his daughter should not backstab the Tian family, and she should not backstab him, an old father. However, facing his daughter, he couldn't say such a thing, because teaching his daughter should not be measured by interests.
He can lose his conscience, but he doesn't want his daughter to lose her conscience.
Tian Changle said again: "Dad, when my daughter returned to the city, she heard that the Buddhist Cien Temple and Yufeng Temple had been annihilated. We don't care about these things anyway, so don't be angry and take good care of your health now."
Tian Ziyun said: "That's all, go down."
Tian Changle breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Dad, don't you blame your daughter?"
"It's not weird, it's not weird anymore."
Tian Ziyun waved his hand.
It was really hard for him to be angry with this daughter.
Tian Changle smiled sweetly, then turned around and left, leaving Tian Ziyun and Tian Changshan in the room.
Tian Changshan thought for a while and said solemnly: "Father, in fact, the matter of Changle is a good thing for our Tian family, and it can be regarded as a glimmer of hope. Originally, the Buddhist sects were taken down one after another, and my Tian family might not be able to survive alone. Now , with this incident in Changle, we can draw a line. It is not that easy for the court to accuse my Tian family. "
Tian Ziyun stroked the beard under his chin, nodded and said: "Judging from the final result, what Changle did is indeed beneficial to us. If it weren't for this girl Changle, Buddhism would be wiped out, and we would be too close to Buddhism, and even take the initiative If you stand up and open your eyes for Buddhism, you will definitely be liquidated. After all, this time we waved the flag and participated."
Tian Changshan thought for a while and said: "Even so, we still cannot completely relax our vigilance and must be prepared. Father, how should we deal with it?"
"Why panic? Don't panic!"
Tian Ziyun's eyes narrowed.
He thought carefully and said in a deep voice: "Now it's a competition. Anyway, Changle will take action against Buddhism this time. People who don't know may think that this matter has something to do with me. Even if the emperor wants to deal with it, After all, we have to consider this matter. In addition, I am from the royal family and a great scholar in Qi State. I have too much influence in dealing with me. So for the time being, we will wait and see what happens. If we don’t take action, the enemy will not move, and I will not move. "
"Father is wise!"
Tian Changshan also thinks so.
There is no need to rush for now, what if the court wants stability and does not deal with the Tian family?
"Master, it's not good."
At this moment, another attendant rushed in and shouted: "Master, Lu Hu is here. He led the imperial army and surrounded the Tian family, and Lu Hu broke in."
brush!
Tian Ziyun's expression changed drastically.
Lu Hu is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, but he came in person, and it was completely over.
Tian Ziyun stood up and said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. Now that things have happened, I will meet Lu Hu first and see what he says."
He got up and walked out.
Tian Changshan also followed, feeling extremely worried.
As soon as Tian Ziyun arrived in the front hall, he met Lu Hu, who was wearing armor and had a serious look on his face. With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "Commander, why did you lead the troops to surround the Tian family today? Could it be that the Tian family has committed some serious crime?"
Lu Hu said in a deep voice: "Tian Ziyun, don't pretend to be confused. Your Tian family has colluded with Buddhism. This matter must be dealt with. Your Majesty issued an order to arrest you and bring you to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. If you want to resist, you will be killed on the spot." .”
boom! !
Tian Ziyun was stunned.
Even his body shook twice and almost fell down. Tian Ziyun did not expect that it would come so quickly and the emperor would be so decisive.
Even if he doesn't cooperate, he will be killed on the spot.
Tian Ziyun was thinking just now that as long as the emperor didn't make arrangements and didn't take action, he would keep stalling. What if the emperor couldn't do anything to him? He even maintained that he was a royal family and a great scholar, but he didn't expect that these were of no use.
The emperor still struck with thunder.
Tian Ziyun thought for a while and said, "Commander, can you allow me to make some arrangements?"
Lu Hu put his hand on the sword on his waist and ordered: "Let's go. His Majesty has not dealt with you directly, which is already the greatest gift. If you have anything to say, go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and say it slowly."
"take away."
Lu Hu waved his hand and gave instructions directly.
The soldiers stepped forward, escorted Tian Ziyun and left. A group of Forbidden Army soldiers also left quickly.
Tian Changshan was completely confused.
what to do?
What should he do if his father is caught?
Tian Changshan was panicked and had no choice but to immediately order someone to summon the rest of the brothers in the family to discuss the matter.
When Tian Changshan and others arrived, the news spread, and all the maids and attendants in the house were in panic, and they were all panic-stricken.
The entire Tian family felt as if the sky had fallen.
When the Tian family was in panic, the news also reached Tian Changle's yard. When she learned that her father had been arrested and sent to the Criminal Department, she was panicked and didn't know what to do.
The emperor is going to deal with the Tian family.
what to do?
Tian Changle thought quickly.
At this point, it is impossible for people from the Tian family to reverse the situation. In Tian Changle's view, the building is about to collapse, so people who have been friends with the Tian family in the past must have avoided them like snakes and scorpions, and it was too late to hide. How could they open their eyes to the Tian family?
Lin Feng!
Yes, ask Lin Feng for help.
Tian Changle had an idea. She changed her clothes and hurriedly left to go to the inn where Lin Feng lived in the city. Tian Changle galloped all the way, feeling anxious. When she arrived at the inn, she got off her horse and hurried forward to knock on the door.
The door opened and Gao Xiaoyu came.
Gao Xiaoyu didn't go with Lin Feng last night, but stayed at the inn. When he saw Tian Changle, he asked: "Miss Tian, are you here to see the young master? The young master went out to do business and has not come back yet."
Tian Changle was even more anxious.
Why didn't anyone come back at the critical moment?
Tian Changle asked: "How long has Mr. Lin been out, and when will he be back?"
Gao Xiaoyu said: "I don't know."
He did not reveal any more information and said: "If Miss Tian is in a hurry, then wait here. If Miss Tian is not in a hurry, please go back. When the master returns, I will report it to the master and then send someone to inform Miss Tian." .”
Tian Changle said: "No need, I'll wait."
Now that things have happened, Tian Changle has no choice. She can't think of a way but to wait for Lin Feng.
Not only was Lin Feng outstanding in resourcefulness, but also because Lin Feng was the envoy of the Qin Dynasty, so he could speak in front of the emperor.
We can only rely on Lin Feng.
Gao Xiaoyu didn't force himself and turned around and returned to the room.
Tian Changle waited quietly, time passed by little by little, and almost two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Tian Changle was even more worried in his heart. When his father was taken to the Criminal Department, he must be in danger. The sooner he could come up with a solution, the sooner he could rescue Tian Ziyun.
However, Lin Feng has not returned yet.
Tian Changle was anxious and had no choice but to wait slowly.
"Miss Changle, why are you here?"
Suddenly, a voice as gentle as jade came, and a tall figure strode over.
