Chapter 564: You preside over the Nirvana Sect, etc., what is the name of your presidency?
Yuqi Mountain is located in Yuezhou on Jiangnan West Road, above Tanzhou where Changsha is located.
Although this mountain was unknown a thousand years later, it was different during the Warring States and Han Dynasties, because it was when Qu Zi was exiled here that he composed the famous "Nine Songs".
In that era, there were temples of Donghuang Taiyi, Yunzhongjun, Lady Xiang, Da Siming and Shao Siming in Yuqi Mountain. But with the passage of time, in the early Tang Dynasty, the largest temple here was
The temple has been transformed into Yuqi Temple of the Fahua Sect.
The presiding officer of Yuxi Temple, Zhi Xing, is a disciple of the wise master Zhi Yi. Although he has a dull talent and barely cultivated Luo Han Guo when he was over fifty years old, he is not qualified to join the position of the thirty-two sages under the wise master.
With enough seniority, he can still be regarded as the backbone of the Fahua Sect.
As he grew older, the great monk Zhixing felt that even if he practiced in Tiantai Mountain, he would have no hope of achieving the fruit of Bodhisattva, so he asked himself to go out to teach the Dharma. Later, he was assigned by the initiation monk to the place where the great monk Zhiyi once lived.
In the Yuqi Temple built on Yuqi Mountain.
This morning, Monk Zhixing just led the monks in the temple to finish the morning class. Then he planned to walk around the temple as usual to see if there were any monks who were lazy and did not clean the house properly. As a result, the monks were not strong in Buddha nature.
When he just walked to the gate of the temple, he saw a line of smoke appearing on the road down the mountain from a distance.
"Huh? What is that..."
The old monk Zhixing looked towards the distance with a little puzzlement, and saw that the smoke was getting closer and closer, and the shadows seemed to be like an army.
"Are these soldiers and horses from that route again?"
Old monk Zhixing looked at the smoke and dust that was obviously coming towards him, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Could it be that some of Fugong'er's remnant soldiers fled to Yuezhou... No! No, these people are not Fugong'er's troops, they are Tang troops."
Old monk Zhixing looked at the flag that was already vaguely visible in the smoke and dust, and was still confused.
"But why did the Tang army come to my Yuqi Temple?"
"Xu..."
The smoke and dust below came very quickly, and soon the cavalry of the Tang Army had rushed along the mountain road to the door of Yuqi Temple. The fat general at the head tightened the reins with his hand, and the horses immediately stood up.
Then, the old monk Zhixing saw that the general on the horse had lowered his head and his sharp eyes fell on him.
"Old monk, I heard that your Yuqi Temple is a temple of the Fahua Sect. Is this true?"
Although he didn't know why the other party asked, the old monk Zhixing still nodded honestly.
"Yes, our temple is the Fahua Lower Temple!"
"That's right……"
After hearing the words of the old monk Zhixing, the fat general nodded with satisfaction, and then saw him wave his hand, point in the direction of Yuji Temple, and shout.
"Brothers, give it to someone, the old rules!"
The next moment, the old monk Zhixing saw the soldiers behind him shouting in unison, then he got off his horse, unsheathed his sword, and rushed towards the gate of Yuqi Temple like a tide.
“A good dog stays out of the way!”
boom!
A young monk who couldn't dodge was kicked directly to the door next to him by the soldiers who rushed up. As for the monks around him, the other soldiers waved their scabbards and smashed them to the side.
"General..."
After seeing this scene in front of him, the old monk Zhixing was simply stunned.
"What do you want to do?"
"What do you want?"
The slightly fat general immediately dismounted from his horse, patted the old monk Zhixing's shoulder with his hand, and grinned, revealing a somewhat honest smile.
"I will tell you that the Nirvana Sect breeds monsters and harms the common people. His Royal Highness, King Qin, has received the will of the saint and came to Tanzhou to put down the Nirvana Sect's rebellion..."
"But Old Monk, this is not the Nirvana Sect!"
After hearing what the other party said, Monk Zhixing immediately screamed out in surprise.
"Didn't the old monk just tell you, General, that this place is the lower courtyard of the Fahua Sect?"
"This general knows..."
The slightly fat general looked at the gang of wolf-like guys under him rushing into the temple and starting to search for them by familiar means, with a happy smile on his face.
"But the problem is that when I was annihilating the Nirvana Sect, I found a letter from the abbot of your temple... By the way!"
The slightly fat general paused for a moment, then asked Zhi Xingdao.
"Old monk, what is the name of the abbot of your temple?"
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
After hearing the other party's question, Chi Xing subconsciously clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha's name.
"The person in charge of this temple, named Zhi Xing, is Lao..."
"Yes, it's Zhi Xing..."
Before Monk Zhixing could finish what he said, the fat general had a look of enlightenment on his face.
"The letter I found was written by Monk Zhixing to the Nirvana Sect. It said that your Fahua Sect supports the other party's rebellion and other treacherous and unethical remarks. Therefore, I came here from Tanzhou specifically to inspect your jade robes.
Temple!"
"This is wrong..."
After hearing what the general said, Monk Zhixing was even more surprised.
"General, the old monk has never written any letters to the Nirvana Sect. Are you mistaken?"
"You can't be wrong, I believe you are the host...wait a minute!"
When he said this, the fat general suddenly stopped and looked at the old monk Zhixing in surprise.
"It turns out that you are the monk Zhixing who supports the Nirvana Sect's rebellion. I was not aware of it for a moment, and I almost deceived you. Come on, let me take down this old guy!"
Following the words, the soldiers behind him immediately swarmed up and reached out to grab Monk Zhixing's robe. Suddenly, Monk Zhixing shook his clothes subconsciously and grabbed the few soldiers who were trying to grab him.
The soldiers were shaken and scattered.
After seeing the actions of monk Zhixing, the fat general seemed to become more excited for some reason. Then he took off his long spear from the mount beside him without hesitation, and headed towards Zhixing with all his strength.
The old monk smashed it over.
"Thief monk, you actually dare to arrest me!"
"..."
Just as the fat general led his army to the Yuqi Temple in Yuqi Mountain, a burly man with a slightly yellowish complexion also led his army to the Wuning Temple in Hongzhou on the east side of Tanzhou;
A dark-skinned man led his army into the Yunlong Temple at the foot of Hengyang Peak on the south side of Tanzhou; a military general in his thirties with a ruthless face led his army into Shaoyang, Shaozhou on the west side of Tanzhou.
of Dongtap Temple.
"The Fahua Sect assisted the Nirvana Sect in plotting rebellion, and under the orders of the King of Qin, this temple was raided!"
…
Da da da……
A group of Imperial Guards wearing Yuan Cong Imperial Guard uniforms whipped their horses and rushed directly into the Kaiyuan Gate of the West City of Chang'an. Then, without stopping at any speed, they rushed straight along the streets towards the Imperial City.
"You said that Aye sent Yuan Cong's imperial guards to convey the decree to Gu, and now they have arrived outside the East Palace Gate?"
Prince Li Jiancheng looked at the servant in front of him with a suspicious look on his face.
"It's strange. Nothing major has happened recently. Why would Aye send someone to convey the message to Gu?"
However, suspicion was suspicion. After all, Yuan Cong Imperial Guard represented the will of his father, His Majesty Li Yuan, and he still did not dare to stop him.
"Please!"
A quarter of an hour later, a Yuancong guard wearing armor walked in from outside holding a yellow silk scroll and knelt down in front of Li Jiancheng.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"no!"
Li Jiancheng sat in his seat and raised his hand to signal the Yuan Cong guard to stand up.
"Aye sent you to see Gu. What's your order?"
Yuan Cong's imperial guard raised his hand without being humble or arrogant, and raised the yellow silk scroll in his hand high.
"When the saint heard that Tuyuhun Fuyun was wandering around Minzhou again, he was very worried and specially summoned His Highness the Prince to come to Renzhi Palace to ask questions."
"Tuyuhun?"
Li Jiancheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard that Aye was actually asking about this matter.
If the Turks, who would go south to plunder from time to time, can be considered a serious concern of the Tang Dynasty, then Tuyuhun, who is somewhat similar in nature to the Turks, but whose combat power is vastly different, can only be regarded as suffering from scabies at this stage.
Besides, if he remembered correctly, didn't they already decide to transfer Huo Guogong and Sanniangzi's consort Chai Shao to Minzhou last year?
Now that Chai Shao's battle report has not been sent to Chang'an, what exactly does Aye want to know when he summons him?
While Li Jiancheng was guessing what Aye meant, he took the yellow silk scroll from the waiter next to him, opened it, and scanned it roughly.
That’s right!
It is indeed my Aye's order, and even the seal below is correct.
After confirming that this was indeed his order, Li Jiancheng put on a majestic look and waved his hand towards the Yuancong guard.
"Okay, Gu understands, you can go down first! Gu will arrange things in Chang'an, then get up..."
"yes!"
Yuancong Imperial Guard agreed and then exited the Jiade Hall.
Just when the imperial guard of Yuan Cong had just retreated, Li Jiancheng saw another chamberlain walking up quickly, saluted to him, and said respectfully.
"His Royal Highness, Master Zhiyue of the Lotus Sect, please see me!"
"Zhiyue, what is he doing here again?"
Although Li Jiancheng was a little strange, he still waved his hand and said to the chamberlain.
"Please!"
A few minutes later, when he saw Monk Zhiyue walking into the Jiade Hall, Li Jiancheng once again had a "gentle, polite and polite" smile on his face, and said to Monk Zhiyue gently.
"Master Zhiyue, do you want to see me today?"
"Your Highness!"
Monk Zhiyue had a solemn expression on his face, clasped his hands together, bowed to Li Jiancheng, and then said.
"Just now, the old monk saw a Yuan Cong leaving the imperial guard. Could it be that he was sent by the saint?"
"good!"
Although Li Jiancheng was a little impatient, he still maintained a gentle smile on his face.
"Aye said that Tuyuhun invaded, so he wanted to call me to Renzhi Palace to question him."
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Master Zhiyue put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
"Your Highness, the saint summoned you not for the Tuyuhun matter at all. To be honest, Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan have betrayed. They took the three hundred pairs of armor to Renzhi Palace and accused His Highness of treason!"
"What!"
After hearing what Master Zhiyue said, Li Jiancheng was stunned on the spot.
"Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan took their armors to go to Aye to accuse them of treason. How is this possible? It would be unfair to treat them alone..."
