After pondering for a moment, Luo Hong said: "Abbot Zhao, Brother Zhang, have you heard about it? In the first month of this year, King Xing passed away."
Of course Zhao Ran and Zhang Lue heard about this. This was the top priority of the Ming Dynasty in the 21st year of Jiajing. Everyone with a certain status knew about it.
And at the end of the day, in a sense, if King Xing had not passed away, the Taoist sect would not have held a fast festival in the capital, would not have summoned the provincial governors and abbots to the capital, and would not have left Ye Yunxuan in Xuanyuan Temple. With the window period out, the Du Tenghui case would not have occurred. Even if it did, Li Yunhe would have stopped them and checked them in the province, and the two of them would not have been recruited to Lushan and "imprisoned" for a month.
Zhang Lue frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with you being transferred to Dasheng?"
Luo Hong said: "You two should know that King Xing is the biological father of the emperor. After King Xing died, the emperor personally came forward and asked Jian Jiguan to mourn for King Xing. His disciple Zhang Tianshi and his disciple Shen Zhenren gathered in the capital and ordered the two capitals and thirteen provinces to enter the capital. , held a great sacrifice for forty-nine days. The Ministry of Rites originally gave King Xing his posthumous title with the character "Xian", and he was enshrined in the name of "Uncle Kao Xingxian". Jian Jiguan also agreed, but sent When I came before Your Majesty, I was rejected by the Emperor."
Zhang Lue said: "The emperor doesn't like this word, so just change it. What's the big deal?"
Luo Hong whispered: "It's not as simple as changing the word. The emperor wants to call Prince Xing Huang Kao and give him the title of emperor!"
Zhang Lue was shocked: "How did this happen? Where does this put the late emperor?"
Luo Hongdao: "Zhang Cong, the minister of the Ministry of War, wrote this book and suggested that King Xing should be respected as the "Emperor Huang Kao Gong Mu Xian" and the late emperor should be renamed "Huang Bo Kao"; that Princess Xing, the biological mother of the emperor, should be respected as the "Queen Mother Zhang Sheng" and that she should be welcomed into the palace. , changed the name of the current Empress Dowager Xiaokangzhang to the "Emperor Aunt". The emperor sent this memorial to the cabinet, and the cabinet was still arguing, and there has been no further news. Now the capital is very noisy, and the situation is a bit unstable. You said that the defense should be mobilized at this time, so that Is my move to Dashengguan a good thing or a bad thing?"
Zhang Lue consoled him: "It's just a court dispute and has nothing to do with us. Don't worry, brother, there won't be any chaos."
Luo Hong sighed and said: "I hope so. But what my brother said is right. Taoist disciples such as Zhang Tianshi and Shen Zhenren are all in the capital. I heard that there are also several old gods in Jianji Temple who are sitting in the capital. I don't even think about coming. What accident will happen?"
The two talked for a while. Luo Hong originally wanted to hear Zhao Ran's opinion, but Zhao Ran never interrupted and just listened quietly. Then he thought about it, although Zhao Ran is well-known in Sichuan, But after all, he is just an abbot of a county court, his level is not high enough, and he is thousands of miles away. It is normal that he cannot give any suggestions. On the contrary, are his expectations for this little abbot too high?
The three of them chatted all over the world, gradually moving from the capital to Songfan. Luo Hong asked, "What's going on in Baihe now? What chance are there?"
Zhang Lue said: "Where is the chance? It's just the same as last year, confronting the Xia people across the river. Although I am stationed in Hongyuan, I am not on the front line, but I also know that as long as the Xia army is facing Wu If the thief leads the troops and occupies the natural barrier of Baihe River, we will definitely not be able to attack it!"
Luo Hong sighed and also cursed: "This thief is really determined to work for the Xia people. I really wish I could dig out his heart and drink his blood!"
Zhao Ran asked: "Who is the Wu thief you two are talking about?"
Zhang Lue explained: "This man's surname is Wu and his given name is Hua Wen. He was originally from Qianhu, Mengcheng City, Shandong Province, Ming Dynasty. Later, he was ordered to fight in Yunnan, but he did not want to betray before the battle and joined the Tubo. In the battle between rural and urban areas, if it were not this person,
The results of our army's battles were much more glorious than those of the day. This man defected to Xixia again in the twelfth year of Jiajing, and was incorporated by the Xia army into the Supervisory Army Department of Baimaqiang Town. I don't know why, with such a slave with three surnames, the Xia people trusted him.
Come on, I’ve been sitting in the left compartment of Baima Division as the commander.”
Luo Hong said: "It's no wonder that he holds a high position there. He is really good at fighting. He has three thousand foot soldiers who are all recruited from the mountain people. They go up and down the slopes and in and out of streams. They are the best at crossing high and far distances and are good at walking with light feet.
.It’s a pity that during the great victory at Baima Mountain the year before last, he led his troops to station in Baihe and failed to capture him. It is a real regret in my life!”
After finishing the meal, Zhao Ran and Zhang Lue went to the ferry to see Luo Hong on board. More than 20 large and small river boats, loaded with thousands of Luo Hong's soldiers, headed downstream in a mighty manner.
Along the way back to Lushan Mountain, at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Ran saw Xu Fangzhu and Lin Gaogong, who had been "accompanying each other" for the past month. They were each carrying a baggage and were about to go down the mountain.
Zhao Ran stepped forward and said hello: "Xu Fangzhu, Lin Gaogong, are you two going back to Jiujiang?"
These two people were temporarily transferred by Jian Jiguan Fangtang to handle the case. Now that the case has come to an end, they naturally have to go back home. Because they are in the counties around Lushan, they have been transferred by Jian Jiguan to handle the case for unknown reasons.
Come back, I have never seen someone as big-hearted as Zhao Ran. If it were anyone else, they would stay away from them. If they really couldn't avoid it, they would at most barely nod to indicate. How could they?
To come up so proactively and smile playfully? It’s as if the unpleasantness of the previous days never happened at all...
Lin Gaogong smiled awkwardly: "Ah, it's time to go back."
Zhao Ran asked: "This trip to Jiujiang is still more than thirty miles away. How do you two get back?"
Lin Gaogong said: "Go to the front and gather together, the frames have been prepared."
Zhao Ran, who knew him well, turned around and walked with the two of them from Lushan Mountain to the market town at the foot: "I happen to have nothing to do, so I'll see you two off."
"No, no, no, why should Abbot Zhao be so polite."
"It's okay, Lin Gaogong doesn't have to be so polite."
The two people had no choice but to let them do what they wanted. Lin Gaogong asked: "When will Abbot Zhao return to Sichuan?"
Zhao Ran said: "It's hard to come to Lushan, so you have to walk around carefully. This is the general view of our Taoist sect. The place where Lushan sat for discussion in the past, I don't know how many places are worthy of admiration. If we don't seriously commemorate the ancestors of the Taoist sect here,
I have made great achievements and learned a lot from the spiritual practice of my predecessors. Isn’t it just a waste of time and I won’t be able to sleep well when I go back..."
Lin Gaogong didn't know how to answer it for a while. He laughed a few words and praised: "Abbot Zhao is very pious when asking questions. He will definitely see the great road in the future."
"Haha, thank you for your good wishes!"
Xu Fangzhu had a bad relationship with Zhao Ran because of his bad face during this inquiry and confrontation. At this moment, he huddled next to Lin Gaogong without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Ran said to him enthusiastically: "Master Xu, I have offended you a lot in the past few days. Please bear with me if I have offended you. I would like to apologize to Master Xu and Lin Gaogong here. It's all for the Taoist sect, and it's all to find out the truth and return the favor."
