Huai'an.
A secluded residential courtyard beside the canal pier.
The setting sun in the afternoon shone lazily through the room, forming beams of warm light in the small main room.
These beams of light fell on the ground, on the flower pots, on the bed, and on the bald head of a monk.
The bald head seemed to have not been shaved for many days, and besides the dark ring scars, there were already some black stubbles.
In the room, there was a monk sitting.
Monk, sitting at the dinner table.
On the table are exquisite porcelains that are incompatible with the ordinary. The vessels are filled with delicacies that ordinary people cannot eat.
Pure white porcelain is placed with brightly colored soft-shell eels that are shiny and soy sauce-colored.
Celadon with paintings of flowers and birds, piled with crystal clear shrimps in white robes.
The colorful porcelain is Pingqiao tofu that looks like jade fat.
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
There is also a portion of green cattails and a bowl of Qingong meatball soup.
Four dishes and one soup, each placed on different colors and styles of porcelain, are pleasing to the eye, with a full range of color, flavor and aroma.
The monk was extremely happy with his meal, and he especially loved the eel dish. He dropped his chopsticks repeatedly and savored every bite carefully.
With a creak, the door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and a young man dressed as a scholar slowly came in and sat demurely opposite the monk.
The monk raised his eyelids, smiled, and then lowered his head to enjoy the delicious food.
"You're such a wise monk that you're almost a monster, but you're actually a foodie!" The young man smiled gently, his tone unhurried and unhurried, and his words had the gentle and elegant meaning of a scholar.
The monk picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "My two greatest loves in life are delicious food."
The young man laughed and said, "There is also a poisonous plan!"
"It's unfair for you to say that!" The monk seemed displeased, "A plan can become a plan, and planning the overall situation is a plan. People are good and bad, and plans are not good or bad!"
The young man smiled and curled his lips, "I can't beat you!" Then he asked, "How is the food?"
"Huaiyang cuisine is well-deserved!" The monk continued, "Especially this eel, you can't find it at all in this bitter cold place. And under the heavy oil and salt, the fish meat can still be delicate and fragrant, which is really rare!"
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Although the eel is small, onion, ginger, cooking wine, soy sauce, rice vinegar cannot take away its freshness!"
"You, the monk, are much more interesting than Dao Jing!" the young man said with a smile.
The monk made a Buddha name and said, "Hey, poor senior brother. I have only been seeking fame all my life and have never enjoyed any benefits. Let's take the first step!"
"It wasn't you who did it!" the young man said again.
The monk did not retort, but smiled, "He chose the road by himself. Or he was greedy and wanted to fly to the sky!" As he said, he suddenly smiled evilly, "It's like the matter between men and women. There is a handsome young master in the little monk's hometown.
, the talent is unparalleled, the family is rich, and the appearance is better than that of Pan An, which has attracted the hearts of countless women!"
"Suddenly one day, a woman complained to the officials, saying that she was deceived by the young master. At first, people were in an uproar. How could you, a rich young master, do such a thing? Later, it was discovered that the woman was not deceived, but willingly...
....."
"What do you mean, flies don't bite unsealed eggs?" The young man asked, "But who in this world is really clean!" As he said that, the young man's tone suddenly became cold, "My double happiness,
He is a neat and good boy!”
"Loyal to the Lord, of course he is a good boy!" The monk said with a smile, "Now that something has happened, I will spend three days to pray for Father-in-law Double Happiness!"
"Everyone is dead, and even if you are saved ten thousand times, they still won't hear you!" the young man sighed.
"He died for a great cause, and he died well. He died for his master, and he died morally!" the monk said.
The young man was silent for a while, "I understand your plan from beginning to end. The only thing I don't understand is this. Why do you want the people closest to me to die?"
"Damn it, the more you care about others, the more pitiful and harmless you will be in the eyes of others. The more others will feel a little more apologetic toward you!" the monk said.
The young man was silent and did not make a sound.
"There is no possibility of reunion after a broken mirror. Although you and that man are getting along well, you know in your heart that he has always been wary of you. Otherwise, why would you have a royal guard in your house?" The monk smiled gently,
"After this incident, his guard against you will gradually disappear. And because Xiao Monk framed the blame, he will unconsciously regard you as one of his own!"
"Yes, I'm very pitiful!" There was a bit of sarcasm in the corner of the young man's mouth, "Since I was a child, I have been good at academics and virtuous conduct. I have been praised by everyone both inside and outside. I am also the eldest son and grandson, and I am favored by my grandfather."
As he spoke, he laughed again, "But overnight, I lost everything, and my reputation was ruined. If I hadn't thought about my flesh and blood, I would have turned into loess. I was sent to this place far away. Grandma doesn't love my uncle.
.”
"I am a poor person. If a poor person behaves like a beggar and wants nothing but happiness, it will inevitably make people relax their vigilance and feel pity. At the same time, if a poor person behaves like he understands righteousness and is loyal to his brothers and sisters,
It’s bound to make people feel good about it!”
"I wonder if one day in the future, the other person will think of me and I will be able to stand up again!"
After hearing this, the monk was surprised at first, and then gently touched his palms.
"You are really thoughtful!" the monk said with a smile. "If you can think clearly about these things and have the heart to hold back, why worry about big things happening in the future!" After saying that, the monk paused and said with slight doubts, "You are so smart and intelligent.
Why was it so defeated back then?"
"Every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom!" The young man's expression was a little solemn and a little ferocious. "In this life, if you don't experience some things personally, you will never wake up, let alone have a thorough understanding." As he said this, his expression changed.
Because of bitterness, "It's just that whether it's a lesson or an experience, it's really too painful!"
"Heaven gives great responsibilities to these people, as is often the case!" the monk said, "If you have not experienced the hardships of the world, you will not know the dangers of the world. But the sky has eyes, and you will always have a chance to make a difference!"
"So, when you find me, we will hit it off!" The young man said with a smile, "It's just that I still don't know one thing. I don't have more than three thousand soldiers, and I don't have more money than Huai'an. If you come to me, in the end,
What’s the purpose?”
"Please take a look!" The monk pushed away the leftover soup, dipped his fingers in the vegetable soup, and drew a picture on the table. "The next day, my master will raise an army..."
The young man's eyes turned cold, "Isn't it too early to talk about this now?"
"If we wait until the day when the old man leaves, it will be too late!" the monk said, "As soon as the old man leaves, he will definitely cut off the vassal. By then, he will have the opportunity. You and my master will not have much chance of winning!"
"Go on!" The young man leaned back slightly and adjusted to a comfortable posture.
"In the future, when my master raises an army, he will not tangle with the army in the north. In recent years, my master has secretly plotted and many people are on our side!" The monk drew a line and continued, "Once my master raises an army,
, The one in the capital will definitely send out a large army to conquer. At this time, stay in Peiping to attract people's attention, and the Lord will personally lead the army south along the river, directly to the capital!"
"To put it lightly!"
"Even you are on our side, what else can't be done lightly?"
The young man thought for a moment and said, "Go on!"
"There are many cavalry in the north, and a hundred thousand troops are marching south to the capital. Huai'an is the last barrier to the capital!" The monk's fingers fell heavily on the table, "At that time, you can take the opportunity to go to the palace and defend Huai'an to the death, and you will definitely take over the military power!"
The young man put down his crossed legs, "But I only have three thousand guards!"
"There are tens of thousands of young river workers at the canal wharf. They are soldiers when they pick up a sword!" The monk smiled slightly, "Besides, we should prepare early and make secret plans now. Who knows that after a few years, there will not be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?"
"Once I have military power, can I join forces with you?"
"No!" the monk said solemnly, "my lord's army pretended that it could not conquer Huai'an and took a detour to go straight to the capital..."
"When my father was alive, I accidentally saw the military register of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. The Privy Council had 190,000 soldiers. With that man's temperament, once your master raises an army, he will launch it with thunderous force." The young man thought deeply.
, "In this way, when you arrive at the Yangtze River, the capital will be empty and you can only defend it!"
Then, the young man lay directly on the table and stared at the monk, "Your master is planning to attack the capital, and I will lead the troops back to the capital in the name of King Qin."
"Even if it is discovered, the capital is doomed!" the monk replied, "with two flanking attacks, the capital will be defeated!" As he said, the monk smiled evilly, "Besides, the capital has internal support!"
