After Wang Qian and others left, Zhang Gongduo worriedly said:
"The Royal Villa is outside the Imperial City. The Yama Palace has failed to succeed several times, so I may not let it go. If the Holy One leaves the palace rashly, I may have to think twice."
Meng Chang seemed to be very dissatisfied, he puffed his sleeves and hummed slightly:
"It doesn't matter whether we leave the palace or not. Now my palace is like a bustling street. Everyone can come and leave whenever they want."
Zhang Gongduo hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Wei Chen immediately notified the personal guards and the imperial army to conduct a thorough inspection of every corner of the palace, and stationed additional personnel."
Meng Chang glanced at him and said calmly:
"I'm not blaming you. But the Taiwei is getting older, so there is no need to worry about this matter anymore. Let Tinggui and the others take care of the defense of the palace."
Zhang Gongduo was shocked, knowing that Meng Chang was losing his reliance and trust in him.
Meng Chang's eyes flashed coldly, and he continued:
“To deal with people in the charlatan, you have to use charlatan tactics.
Kathok Mountain has sent someone to inform me this morning that the Little Living Buddha Vairocana and his party have arrived outside Chengdu. With their help, I don’t need to worry about the monsters in Yama Hall anymore..."
As soon as he heard about Katuo Mountain, Meng Yu next to him was suddenly startled, his face changed drastically and he said:
"Did the Emperor agree to the request of Kathok Mountain to open an altar and establish a temple in Chengdu?"
Meng Chang looked at him strangely, nodded and said:
"That's right! Fourth brother's Huanhuaxi has collapsed, and I just need new forces to establish my authority in the world and control those followers of the three religions and nine streams who are stubborn or have different intentions."
Meng Yu said anxiously:
"Brother Imperial, think twice, what is practiced in Ka Tuo Mountain is a heretical cult..."
Meng Chang frowned and said angrily:
"Shut up! The little Living Buddha is the junior disciple of the Tibetan Supreme Master Padmasambhava. He practices the Dzogchen Tantra. How can I be wrong in my vision?
Xinxiang Temple is known as the authentic Zen sect, but it can’t even protect its own abbot. How can I still rely on such a role..."
Zhang Gongduo stepped forward and said:
“The Tibetan Tantric exercises are mysterious and have never been recognized by Central Plains Buddhism.
If he is allowed to lead the martial arts community in Shu, he may arouse the resentment of other sects.
I heard that the chief disciple of Jiange is also in Chengdu and has close contacts with Zhuge Xin, the leader of the Shu Alliance. Why not consider letting Wuhou send Huanhuaxi instead..."
Meng Chang slapped the dragon chair angrily and shouted:
"I have made up my mind regarding the matter of Kathok Mountain! If anyone raises objections again, please kneel down at the Meridian Gate. First update @ "
When Zhang Gongduo and Meng Yu heard that they were kneeling at the Meridian Gate, they both quickly retracted their words to defend themselves.
Generally, ministers who kneel at the Meridian Gate have only two endings: one is thrown into a dungeon, the other is beheaded in public.
It can be seen that Meng Chang, who has been in danger for days, is really angry.
Meng Chang briefly explained a few words about the Ming Dynasty dinner party, then left in a hurry with a gloomy expression.
The royal garden of the Shu Kingdom is only one-tenth the size of the Shu Palace. It is built on the Phoenix Mountain, with a nearby river flowing into it to form a canal and a lake. It has all the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, and is extremely cool.
Because Meng Chang was extremely afraid of heat, he had the Jinshui River diverted from the west of the city into Bieyuan and merged into the largest Maha Pond. He also connected this pond to the Jieyu River in the east of the city, thus forming a steady flow of living water in the pond.
He also spent a lot of money to build a Crystal Palace in the pool as a summer escape.
The royal banquet prepared by Meng Chang for Wang Qian and others was held in this palace.
Since Du Qianqiu had no intention of participating in this banquet, only Wang Qi'an and Hu Luanjiao came with Chu Yunxia and Su Yuanshi.
The two women still appeared in men's clothes from last night, looking young, delicate and graceful.
Liu Ligong personally welcomed them to the Moko Pool and introduced the four of them with a smile:
“This pond was originally a sinkhole, covering an area of nearly a thousand acres.
The Holy Spirit was ingenious and introduced living water into a pool, which resulted in the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains today. "
Wang Qi'an saw that the water surface was shimmering and colorful under the reflection of the lights, which was indeed beautiful.
The pond is surrounded by white stones, planted with willow trees, watery green plants, and a gentle breeze, which is very refreshing.
“The three main halls in the pool do not use earth, sand, or bricks, but only use a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one wooden pillars to support them.
That is the high-quality nanmu that my father-in-law and I ordered to collect from everywhere.
Holy. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 5 Banquet (Part 1)
With great ingenuity, he made people use agarwood as pillars, windows with coral, and jasper as doors..."
Liu Ligong led the way while talking about the structure and origin of the Crystal Palace, and his words were very proud.
But Wang Qi'an shook his head repeatedly as he listened, because every material and item he mentioned was not easy to obtain.
Building this Crystal Palace cost a lot of money and money.
Pu Changqing once said that Meng Chang was extravagant and lustful, but now that he saw him, it turned out to be true.
Everyone walked for half a stick of incense and came to a redwood bridge.
"Everyone can go up from here to the main hall of the Crystal Palace, where the Holy Master is already waiting for you. I have other important things to do, so I won't accompany you anymore."
After Liu Ligong finished speaking, he said goodbye and left.
Hu Luanjiao touched his belly, patted the watering can, and said with a smile:
"The old man heard that Meng Chang's palace has dozens of jars of Dujiangchun, a century-old wine. I wonder if they will use it to entertain us tonight."
Wang Qi'an had only known this person for a few days, but he felt like he had known him for many years, and there was no barrier between them when talking to him.
After leaving Tianfuju last night, he bumped into him, and then he insisted on following her and Du Qianqiu.
However, it was fortunate that he had to deal with the Red Prison Demon, otherwise the battle in the palace would not have been so easy.
"Senior, don't you think this place is a little weird? We didn't see many guards along the way.
Logically speaking, Meng Chang had just been assassinated, the whereabouts of the demons in the Yama Palace were still unknown, and the crisis had not been resolved, so he should not be so lax. "
Chu Yunxia said softly:
"Brother Qi'an, Xia'er also feels that this place is a bit worrying, so why don't we go back."
Su Yuanshi made a face at Chu Yunxia and said with a sweet smile:
"Silly girl, the emperor invited us tonight. Do you think we are going out to eat and keep an appointment? If you can say no, you won't go?
Look at the brightly lit palace in the pool. Is there anything unusual about it? How about I walk in front and you follow me? "
Before Su Yuan finished her poem, people had already stepped onto the mahogany bridge.
"You are a timid grown man, but you are not as brave as Shi'er. The old man's belly can't wait any longer..."
Hu Luanjiao swayed and was already in front of Su Yuanshi. He deliberately straightened his body and stepped forward.
Wang Qi'an smiled bitterly and shook his head. He glanced at Chu Yunxia, stretched out his hand to hold her hand, squeezed it a few times, and said:
"We have been fighting for days, maybe I am overthinking it! If you are worried, please remember to stay with me later."
The four of them walked across the redwood bridge and arrived at the main entrance of the Crystal Palace.
Although there was no one at the door, there were people busy going back and forth in the hall.
I saw a spacious hall with a total of sixteen personal square tables arranged on the left and right.
In the upper part of the middle, there is another long table that is several times wider. It can be seen that it is the master's seat.
The seat was empty and Meng Chang did not show up.
However, Wang Qi'an glanced around and found many familiar faces.
In the row on the left, from top to bottom, are Meng Yu, Zhang Gongduo, and Li Tinggui.
On the right, Ji Yunfei and Zhuge Xin occupied the fourth and fourth positions respectively.
When the two of them saw Wang Qi'an, they both looked cold and turned a blind eye.
Instead, Meng Yu and Zhang Gongduo waved to the four of them and motioned them to move forward and take their seats. .
