Seeing that the gate of Xiangguo Temple was still closed, General Chai seemed to have his eyes closed! This sudden response seems to have been expected!
The two people next to him looked at him, and he was still sitting firmly on the horse! Seeing that the people in the temple made no more noise, his eyes suddenly opened again.
"Listen up, monks and monks in the temple! No matter if this is done alone or someone gathers to cause trouble! Your Majesty has already made it clear! If it is found that it has nothing to do with it, all those who are involved will be released on the spot and moved to another place of practice! If you are unlucky, Anyone who resists or escapes implicated in this matter will be killed on the spot!" The square-faced young general's voice was cold, but the words he said decisively made people feel that this was really a big deal!
There was sudden silence all around!
Is the emperor going to take serious action against Xiangguo Temple?
This was said by the general of the Forbidden Army himself, how could it be false?
Everyone around was silent for a while!
"I have been ordered to come here to deliver the message, but I still need to go back and reply! All the monks in the temple have heard the truth! If you are a bhikkhu and nun who practices your faith, if you can take the initiative to negotiate on your own, I can forget the blame! If you have been indifferent, No one has responded within ten breaths of this general, all officers and men, listen to your orders!"
"Here!"
A relatively neat promise was made in unison, and it seemed that even half of Tokyo could hear it, and it even seemed like it was about to lift Xiangguo Temple! Obviously, everyone has a very high awareness of General Chai and pay attention to his words and deeds at all times. This level of compatibility undoubtedly reflects the loyalty of the soldiers here!
If someone can look down from the air, they can see that the entire Daxiangguo Temple is surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.
"The sword is out of its sheath! The arrow is on the string! I will count within ten breaths. Anyone who has no one in the temple who comes out of the mountain gate will be fired with thousands of arrows at the temple in the first round! If anyone goes outside in an attempt to escape and slips through the net, he will be hacked to death! "
A cold voice, a cold command!
It seems to be getting colder and colder, but it is even more irresistible!
"Here!"
The neat promise was issued again, which made the atmosphere here suddenly become more tense, and also reflected the determination to carry out this order!
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"eight!"
The voice of the young general named Chai was cold, but the words coming out of his lips were crisp! Every time he recited a number, he stayed evenly. There was less than two breaths between each number. It was obvious that he was determined to force all the monks in the temple to come out.
You must know that the Daxiangguo Temple has stretched for hundreds of years and is one of the most famous ancient temples in the Central Plains. The number of monks and believers who usually practice in the temple is at least several hundred, not to mention thousands. If these forbidden troops really carry out their mission, not to mention how many casualties there will be in the temple, just carrying out this mission is a great sin for a place of cultivation.
"seven!"
"six!"
The voice continues, still ruthless!
But there seems to be still silence in the peaceful temple!
Is it really silent?
Naturally, ordinary people and spectators cannot hear what is going on inside. But the leader, General Chai, heard that the temple was in chaos. Because although the Xinzhang Sect has many disciples in Daxiangguo Temple, there are still many ordinary monks after all.
Some of you don't understand the emperor's order, but after all, the emperor is not a tyrant at ordinary times! What's more, General Chai made it very clear that this was because monks colluded and spread rumors to the outside world to speak ill of the emperor. This was because the emperor wanted to hold people accountable and investigate.
Not to mention whether it will be implemented later, just seeing the crowded scene outside the mountain gate, there are many monks who have not practiced enough, first of all, there has been a commotion.
"five!"
"General Chai Lin, wait a minute!" A distant voice came, but it was the movement coming from the distant street. Then everyone heard the sound of a fast horse galloping over. When the young General Chai called out four, they finally saw a general in armor, riding a snow-white horse, heading this way quickly. Rush over.
As if he was stopped counting, the young general named Chai Lin couldn't help but look at the general coming over. Because he knew this person's name was Liu Guangyi, who was originally General Su Zhi in the palace. Si Longjie, who has long served as the commander of the right wing of the bodyguard, is the great-grandson of Liu Rengong, the military governor of Lulong in the late Tang Dynasty. He turned out to be a subordinate of Zhang Yongde, the military commander in front of the palace.
"General Liu, I am carrying out a mission under His Majesty's decree. Are you,,,,,,?" Although he is also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard in front of the palace, because he belongs to General Zuowei, Chai Lin has not yet negotiated with Liu Guangyi. not much.
"I'm sorry, General Ha Chai! I was ordered by Mr. Zhang to ask General Chai to suspend the pressure on Xiangguo Temple!" Liu Guangyi slowly clasped his fists and said with a somewhat sincere smile: "Now there are ministers joining the palace. In addition, there are concubines in the palace who have made a speech together, saying that Xiangguo Temple is a quiet place for spiritual practice. I also hope that Your Majesty can be accommodating and find out the truth before carrying out your decree!"
"A certain family doesn't understand what General Liu said? A certain family came to perform a mission under His Majesty's order, and General Liu asked a certain family to postpone the execution?" Chai Lin seemed to have no good impression of the Daxiangguo Temple, because he thought of how he followed the emperor's personal expedition to Tokyo. When reporting the news, he was intercepted by monks. Although I was lucky enough to escape the disaster in the end, I have no good impression of these so-called monks since then.
What's more, he was executing the emperor's order, and this Liu Guangyi came over and said that Zhang Yongde was being inspected in front of the palace and wanted to suspend it. Chai Lin couldn't help but his face suddenly changed slightly. Because after the emperor returned to Tokyo, he seemed to have placed his brother-in-law under house arrest. As for Zhang Yongde's title of being a guard in front of the palace, it is said that he intends to transfer it to someone else. Although it was just a rumor, Chai Lin, as a close confidant of the emperor, would naturally hear some rumors.
"Which Master Zhang is General Liu listening to? Is there any Master Zhang in this dynasty who dares to disobey His Majesty's imperial edict?" Although Chai Lin did not mean to point it out, he looked at Liu Guangyi's face calmly. If he hadn't known that he was in Taizu's hands, he had taken him under his command, and had been staying in the Guards Department and slowly rising up the ranks, Chai Lin would definitely have thought that he had ulterior motives.
"General Chai's words are serious. I have indeed come here to ask General Chai to slow down the execution of the order from the capital inspector Zhang Yongde!" Liu Guangyi looked calm and said politely with clasped fists: "Because many adults went to the palace to ask for orders but were rejected. I know that Your Majesty We issued an order to surround the temple and asked Master Zhang to come forward and enter the palace to see the saint. But I was afraid that it would be too late by then, so I boldly asked Master Zhang to make a decision."
Perhaps seeing that Chai Lin had no intention of saying anything, Liu Guangyi immediately continued: "Now Mr. Zhang is entering the palace with Princess Wei. Although the news is not accurate, I think it is very likely that the matter will be done. I hope General Chai will see it." For the sake of Buddhism's virtue of living well, how about a little delay?"
"Princess Wei?" Chai Lin was really moved this time, because Wei Wang Fu Yanqing can now be said to be a real figure in the Zhou Kingdom.
One of his daughters is Queen Xuanyi, and the other daughter is now serving the emperor in the palace. Some people rumored that the current eldest son of the emperor, Zong Xun, was her child. Of course, some people said that she was just taking care of the children for Queen Xuanyi. However, she was able to succeed Queen Xuanyi and become the second person of the Fu family to serve the emperor, which naturally increased the Fu family's weight in the Zhou Kingdom.
Although the current Princess Wei is no longer the original wife, she has also given birth to some children to King Wei. What's more, from King Huaiyang to King Wei, and then to today's King Wei, the princess surnamed Li basically accompanied him all the way. Therefore, no one in the Central Plains can ignore the weight of the Princess of Wei! And the people in Tokyo all know that the princess of the Wei Palace is not only good at charity, but also has a bodhisattva heart and is the most sincere believer in Buddhism.
So when he heard that Princess Wei and Zhang Yongde entered the palace together, Chai Lin finally felt a little moved.
"It's the one from Prince Wei's Mansion. Now they are entering the palace. Master Zhang saw a certain person on duty at the palace gate, so he asked a certain family to come quickly. I hope General Chai can slow down for a while!" This time! Liu Guangyi really clasped his fists again, looking at Chai Lin with some unspeakable embarrassment.
"General Chai, this is His Majesty's personal decree, are you...?" The general with a pair of big hammers, although he did not say it directly, still frowned slightly. The soldiers on the side were still holding their arrows, but because Chai Lin's counting had stopped, everyone became unusually quiet.
Although Liu Guangyi on the side did not say anything, he glanced at the general holding the hammer out of the corner of his eye, and at that moment that was difficult for others to touch, there was a flash of ruthless look on his face. He knew the two people around Chai Lin. One was a member of the famous Diao family in Tokyo, and the other was Li Zaijin, a descendant of Taizu Guo Wei's fourth sister, Princess Fuqing's family.
These are all the true confidants of Emperor Guo Rong, including Chai Lin, who are undoubtedly loyal.
The reason why Chai Lin pondered was not that he didn't want to carry out the emperor's order, but he deeply understood why the emperor asked him to come here!
Because the emperor heard reliable news that monks from Xiangguo Temple came forward to interfere with his actions. Especially when he returned to Beijing after being seriously injured, someone was still plotting secretly. So Guo Rong wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and kill Xiangguo Temple to prevent them from colluding with people in the court.
Although it is not yet known who Xiangguo Temple is colluding with, in Guo Rong's opinion, it is nothing more than his own injury, and he will know who will benefit the most!
Some people said that the Fu family, a military governor, was a serious suspect, and some people said that Zhang Yongde, who had been competing with him for position, was the most suspicious, but Guo Rong himself did not express his position.
Because after all, since Emperor Taizu received Zen, the court was moving in a good direction. And his military campaigns in the north and south were basically successful.
The most powerful force in the south, the Tang Kingdom, has surrendered to the vassal state, and the biggest threat to the north is only a matter of time. Considering the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty, civil servants naturally don't have to worry. Among the military attaches with the strongest momentum among the military governors, the father-in-law of Wei Wang Fu Yanqing was already a very popular minister, and he was surrounded by several military governors. In front of the palace, Zhang Yongde was once in power, but he had isolated him and even deprived him of his actual military power!
Thinking about his northern expedition, there are still people who can poison him. Guo Rong's biggest concern is to lure these people out to see who is behind this?
It is said that the officers and soldiers under the throne of Wei Wei are famous all over the world. If they can be ranked second in the world, no one dares to be called the first. According to spies, in the battle to eliminate the Jiuyang sect in Zhaozhou, the King of Wei sent Guanhoudu Jingqi to assist Zhaozhou's governor Fu Zhaoju, and even the Jiuyang sect, which was well-known in the Central Plains, was uprooted.
One can naturally imagine the power of the Fu family's crown prince! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
