You must know that the temple has lasted 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 Lord Zhang is entering the palace with Princess Wei. Although the news is not accurate yet, I think it is almost 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 palace. Now they are entering the palace. Because they saw someone on duty at the palace gate, they asked someone to come over quickly. I hope General Chai can take a moment!" Liu Guangyi this time is Liu Guangyi. He really clasped his fists again, looking a little embarrassed.
"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 the counting had stopped, everyone became unusually quiet.
Although Liu Guangyi on the side did not say a word, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw that the general with the hammer actually flashed a fierce look at that moment that was difficult for others to touch.
He knew the two people next to him. One was Jie Tiaoli from the famous Jietiao family in Tokyo, and the other was Li Zaijin, a descendant of Taizu Guo Wei's fourth sister, Princess Fuqing's family.
These are the emperor's true confidants, including all of whom are unquestionably loyal.
The reason why he groaned was not because 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 a monk intervened in his actions, especially when he was seriously injured and returned to Beijing, someone was still plotting secretly. So I wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and serve it in a pot 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 Jiedu envoy, had serious suspicions. 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.
