But at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, is this iron cage related to that incident?"
Yunxi instantly understood what he was talking about and nodded: "It is indeed related to that matter."
Fang Zheng's body trembled: That would kill someone. But he had no choice, so even though his face looked very ugly, he still bowed his head and saluted, and left together with his junior brother Fang Sheng who looked curious.
After leaving the tent, Fang Sheng immediately asked: "Brother, why on earth do you need to prepare such an iron cage?"
Fang Zheng whispered a few words in his ear, and Fang Sheng immediately looked horrified: "How could such a thing happen?" After a pause, he continued: "Brother, why didn't you tell me before? Let junior brother also tell me
It’s good to be prepared.”
"This is so surprising. If I had told it before, how many people would have believed it? And since the emperor mentioned it to me that time, he has never mentioned it again, either on the road or in Ganzhou. I thought the emperor just gave orders on a whim.
It's hard to tell you in advance." Fang Zheng said.
In fact, Fangzheng thought that Yunxi had a problem with his head at that time, because he didn't talk to him about it after that and let it go. Unexpectedly, Yunxi didn't have a problem with his head for a while, but actually had such thoughts. But of course these words were
If he can't speak out after being beaten to death, he can only find other excuses.
"But how can a person survive being struck by lightning? The emperor seems to want to kill his senior brother. But no matter what, the emperor has no reason to deal with his senior brother like this." Fang Sheng said.
He was thinking the same thing as Fang Zheng at that time: if the emperor had any dissatisfaction with Fang Zheng and wanted to kill him, he could find ten thousand reasons, and there was no need to use such bizarre methods.
"Senior brother, are you really the reincarnation of Buddha?" Fang Sheng asked.
"How do I know this? The Buddha did not have any magic power when he was reincarnated, so it is impossible to tell." Fang Zheng said.
"Then if senior brother is really the reincarnation of Buddha, how did the emperor identify it?" Fang Sheng began to think about this problem.
While he was still thinking, Fang Zheng whispered: "This is a military camp. If you have any questions, we can wait until we get back." Then he pulled Fang Sheng and left the Chinese military camp.
…
…
With a "click" sound, the curtain of the tent was opened, and a man who was not strong but very powerful walked in angrily and shouted to the person sitting on the main seat: "Xu Huizu, what on earth is going on here?"
What happened? Why is there an iron cage in the Chinese army camp and a wooden pole with an iron tip hanging on it? What on earth are a few bald donkeys doing in the military camp? "
"Lan Zhen, I don't know what the two masters Fang Zheng and Fang Sheng are going to do. They brought this from Yiwu City with the permission of His Highness King Qin," Xu Huizu said.
"His Royal Highness King Jin, do you know what the two bald donkeys are going to do?" Lan Zhen turned her head and asked Ji Xi who was sitting aside.
Today, Lan Zhen came to the Chinese army camp to discuss matters with Xu Huizu. As soon as she entered the camp, she heard two soldiers passing by mentioning that a strange-looking iron cage had appeared in the camp where Fang Zheng and other monks lived, and said that they should make it.
After a full set of Dharma meetings, I suddenly became angry.
This is a military camp, and there is a war going on right now. They just chanted sutras for the soldiers who died in the battle a few days ago. No matter whether it is useful or not, it is always a comfort. But now these bald donkeys are going to extravagance and want to perform acrobatics! This is absolutely not allowed.
Angry, Lan Zhen came to Xu Huizu's camp and asked him about the matter. After hearing Xu Huizu's answer, she asked Jin Wang Zhu Jixi who happened to be here.
Ji Xi shook his head: "I have been in the military camp for the past two days and have not returned to Yiwu City. Shang Bing escorted the injured soldiers back to the city for medical treatment a few days ago. He has not returned yet, and you can't ask."
"No, we must not let these bald donkeys perform acrobatics in the military camp. I will confiscate their iron cages and melt them into cannonballs." Lan Zhen said.
"No!" Xu Huizu immediately dissuaded him: "This matter must have been approved by His Majesty, otherwise these monks would not dare to bring such things into the military camp even if they wanted to perform puja. If you really can't stand it, tell Your Majesty first
I'll give you some advice and get His Majesty's acquiescence before taking action."
"Since Your Majesty has already agreed, how can he change his mind just because of my advice?" Lan Zhen said.
"Sabotaging the monks' puja in private without your majesty's permission will definitely arouse your majesty's dissatisfaction. Lan Zhen, you should think about such a thing." Xu Huizu was also not happy that several monks were going to perform puja in the military camp.
But after he briefly mentioned it to Yunxi, he knew that the matter was approved by His Majesty. After a few more words, but no response was received, he knew that Yunxi had already made up his mind about the matter, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
"This, alas." Lan Zhen sat on a chair nearby and sighed. He was not stupid. What he just said was just to vent his anger. Even if Xu Huizu didn't dissuade him, he would at most teach a few monks a lesson.
After a meal, I didn’t dare to destroy the things they prepared for the ceremony without permission.
"That's all, we have been fighting all these days, and the soldiers' hearts have been tense. It would be nice to let them relax." Lan Zhen could only comfort herself like this in the end.
"Huizu, when will this ceremony be held?"
"The time has not been set yet. If you want some of the soldiers in your camp to come and see it, I will send someone to tell you when the time is set."
…
…
"Your Majesty, the poor monk still feels that it is very strange to do such a thing in the Dharma ceremony, as if it is deliberate. Moreover, when there was thunder and lightning, most of the soldiers thought it was going to rain and would not be willing to watch the Dharma ceremony outside." At this time,
In Yunxi's camp, Fangzheng stood in front of Yunxi, bowed and said.
"I know it too. But when can we do such a thing?" Yun He rubbed his head and said. What he wants Fang Zheng to do must be done when there is thunder and lightning, but no one wants to be there when there is thunder and lightning.
If you sit outside and don't have an audience, who can you show it to? What's the point of making it?
Yunxi thought for a while but couldn't think of a way to make people feel less abrupt. He said to Fang Zheng: "Go down and prepare first. Wait until you think of a suitable way. In the past few days, you will take turns to hold Dharma meetings in the five military camps, so that
Relax, soldiers."
"I obey," Fang Zheng agreed, but secretly wondered: Isn't this how it should be in the military camp during a war? Why do you still need to hold a Dharma meeting to relax?
Of course, Yunxi didn't know what Fang Zheng was thinking about. He thought for a while and said: "Starting from tomorrow, we will hold a Dharma meeting at the Chinese Army Camp. The time will be set later in the evening. After that, the front, left, right,
The camp of the last four armies."
Fang Zheng agreed again, bowed and stepped back.
Yunxi then sent someone to call Xu Huizu and Song Sheng, and told them: "During this period of confrontation and fighting with the Westerners, the soldiers were too tense. I decided to let the monks hold a ritual ceremony in the fifth camp.
Let the soldiers relax."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Song Sheng also saw the iron cage in the monk's camp. Although he understood that Yunxi must have given permission, he still had to advise: "If it were normal, that would be fine. Now we are with Xilu
It is not appropriate to let the monks hold religious ceremonies during the war."
"The way of civil and military affairs must be relaxed and relaxed. This is not only necessary for running a country, but also for running an army. Soldiers are always pulled tightly like a bowstring, which is not a good thing. Careful strings may be broken." The armies of later generations are fighting in wars.
At that time, even the frontline army would have art soldiers singing songs, playing the accordion, playing the flute, etc. to relax the mood of the officers and soldiers. So Yunxi felt that such things were nothing.
However, the army of this era did not have such a habit. Xu Huizu and Song Sheng were both uncomfortable with it and tried their best to dissuade it.
Seeing their insistence, Yunxi finally decided to partially compromise: "In this case, we will not hold a formal ceremony, but when the monks pray for the fallen soldiers, they will be asked to make the ceremony slightly more complicated."
"I obey the decree." Xu Huizu and Song Sheng agreed.
"Let's start with the Central Military Camp. The time is the same as when they pray for the fallen soldiers on weekdays, and before the sun sets in the evening. The number of people watching is also the same as when the soldiers are praying. Only the soldiers of the guard station who will go into battle tomorrow are allowed to watch the ceremony.
Ceremony." Yunxi ordered.
"Tomorrow I plan to inspect Zhang Fu's right army, so Xu Qing, please be careful and don't let anything happen."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
…
"Are you sure? There will be heavy rain tomorrow night?" Timur asked the big mullah.
"Great Khan, according to the previous records of the Chagatai Khanate and observations in the past few days, it will start raining from the afternoon tomorrow and will last for a long time." The big mullah answered with certainty.
Timur lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head and said to Jesbu beside him: "Immediately send someone to inform all the generals to be ready to attack the Ming army's camp tomorrow night."
