The inner courtyard of Yao Mansion is dotted with pavilions, which are elegant and generous. In a pavilion near the water, cups and plates are interlaced, and laughter and joy are heard.
Although this is a branch of Bianjing, the northwest generals are all wealthy owners, and the courtyard in Bianjing can be regarded as luxurious.
Brother Yao Pingyi is the host and today he invited several senior brothers to share their friendship with each other.
Nowadays, the Song Dynasty abolished the imperial examination and changed to the academic system, which had a great impact on the scholars.
There are many schools of thought. Luo Congyan's Yuzhang School inherited Cheng Hao's Neo-Confucianism, which was inherited from Zisi. The Xinxing Confucianism of Mencius's school can be regarded as the mainstream school today.
Yang Lin, on the other hand, did the opposite, reinterpreted the word "heart" and made putting it into practice the center of learning.
Because of his huge influence, the school gradually prospered, and several students also had disciples.
This kind of time is often the most united time internally, because they are full of fighting spirit, and they dress up and stride forward every day.
When Yang Lin first accepted his disciples, he knew everything about their eight generations of ancestors and their childhood experiences. Wu Min and Yuan Tingzhi were both innocent and gentlemen, not to mention Cai Sui.
Wu Min, the oldest, raised his glass and said: "The two junior brothers have entered the school. From now on, we are classmates and need to support each other. Come and drink this cup together."
Everyone at the table hurriedly raised their glasses. At this time, a boy outside looked horrified and ran in and shouted: "Sanlang, Silang, it's not good, Erlang was beaten to death!"
In this era, in the hierarchy of seniority in wealthy families, the emphasis is on the integration of uncles and uncles.
Yao Gu's son, Yao Shu, was the second eldest son and was one of the yamen engaged in business in the northwest.
At that time, the imperial court was in arrears with the payment of the Western Army and did not pay a grain of rice for three years.
Xixia was like a tiger on the side, and the generals in the northwest had no choice but to send their own children to use the resources of the Western Army to travel north and south to raise food.
Yao Shu was one of them. When Yang Lin returned to Bianliang, he was among the three yamen he met on the road.
Yao Pingzhong stood up as he slapped the case, his face bursting with anger and power: "You say that again?"
"Er Erlang, he was covered in blood and died outside Bianliang City." The boy put his hands on his knees and cried loudly.
Yao Pingyi's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
Wu Min said in a deep voice: "Take us there quickly!"——
The Chongsheng Temple on the outskirts of Bianliang City was built by Yang Lin for the Duan family in Dali. The construction is now ready for completion.
The temple is completed, and monks from the Duan family in Dali will be invited to come and stay tomorrow. The huge temple is empty, but simple and beautiful coexist.
The temples and pavilions are built against the mountain. They are majestic and magnificent, and the scenery is elegant. In a courtyard at the highest point of the mountain peak, there are flowers and trees everywhere, and green trees.
There are red ribbons all over the courtyard, a large red carpet covers the middle aisle, and the semi-arched rainbow door is at the junction of the clouds, the mountains and the sky.
Under the Rainbow Gate, Duan Miaozhen was dressed in red makeup, with beads on her head and black and shiny hair, which made her look both happy and angry even more incomparable.
Duan Miaozhen never thought that Yang Lin would really hold a wedding for her in the place closest to the sky.
Especially those arranged by Yang Lin. On the ancient trees on the top of the mountain, there were hanging golden Buddhas of various colors snatched from the Living Buddha of Tubo. There were flower petals along the way. When the wind blew the rain of flowers all over the sky, Duan Miaozhen was held by Yang Lin's arm. For a moment, she felt like...
A dreamlike feeling.
On the top of the mountain, in the silent temple, Yang Linhe and Miaozhen worshiped the heaven and the earth together.
Between the heaven and the earth, it seems that there is a low voice of Sanskrit singing, if it is there or not, it is like a wisp.
Duan Miaozhen was confused for a moment, thinking that she was blessed by the Buddha because these sounds were so pure.
Outside the mountain gate in the distance, hundreds of little Taoist boys were holding Buddhist scriptures and chanting very enthusiastically.
For the sake of my uncle and uncle, these thieves, I recited a Buddhist recitation today.
Of course, they didn't believe it at all, but they had been following Master and Uncle for a long time, pretending to be gods and ghosts, meditating and chanting sutras, and their tone was very decent.
Yang Lin took Miaozhen's arm and walked under the Hongqiao. The wind from the top of the mountain blew their clothes tightly against their bodies.
"The sky is thick and the earth is thick, which shows my heart, and the sky is filled with gods and Buddhas, which shows my will. Today, Yang Lin married Miao Zhen, and we became husband and wife. We will always express our love for each other."——
Outside Bianliang City, Yao Pingzhong punched the tree trunk next to him. Lying underneath was his second brother.
The upright body was covered with knife marks, and it was obvious that he had died not long ago. In a place like the outskirts of Bianliang City, it was very difficult not to be discovered, especially since it was still an official road.
Someone went to the Kaifeng government office early in the morning to report the crime, but it was only now that the police discovered that they were from the Yao family and sent people to notify them. Because these people's car frames and belongings were all taken away
.
Yao Gu gave birth to two sons. Yao Pingzhong was his adopted son. This second brother was Yao Gu's illegitimate son. During the war, Yao Gu had snatched a bride from a party in Xixia.
Later, Xixia counterattacked, and this woman was lost. During the Song and Xia years, you advanced and I retreated, and the casualty rate on the border was extremely high, so Yao Gu didn't take it seriously.
Later, when the army defeated Hengshan, a girl came to the Song army camp to look for Yao Gu with her son in her arms. This made Yao Gu lose face.
His sons are all of the same generation, but this son just took the word "Shu" without giving him a seniority.
Yao Pingzhong has been very righteous since he was a child. When his cowardly second brother was bullied outside, he took revenge.
Slowly, Yao Shu showed his talents in other areas. Later, the generals of the Western Army fended for themselves, and the generals' sons went out to do business, and Yao Shu became a leader.
From then on, Yao Pingzhong often received money sent to him by his second brother. He was also generous by nature and was willing to spend money to fool around with the military men. He gradually earned the title of "Little Lieutenant" in the northwest.
I had just arrived in Beijing last time, and Yao Shu, who was away, sent people to deliver many daily necessities, and happily said that I would meet him another day.
Who would have known that the scene would be like this when we met again. Yao Shu had a look of fear on his face. He had never been a brave person. This was neither like his father Yao Gu nor his mother's Dangxiang bloodline.
If he hadn't looked exactly like Yao Gu, others would have doubted whether he was a descendant of the Yao family. However, he grew up with cold eyes and bullying, so his temperament is understandable.
There was a shocking wound on his neck, and there were seven or eight knife marks on his body.
The visitor was obviously not the same person. The Yao family's motorcade was massacred. What's even more bizarre is that this crime did not occur in a remote town, but on the official road on the outskirts of Bianliang City.
"This hatred is irreconcilable!" Yao Pingzhong roared, causing crows to fly up on both sides of the official road.
Yao Pingyi said nothing, with tears in his eyes, and everyone came forward to comfort him.
The police from Kaifeng Prefecture were investigating the scene. Such a thing happened. It can be said that Kaifeng Prefecture has not encountered a single bad murder case in ten years.
If we don't seize the time to investigate and investigate, it is conceivable that the officials in Kaifeng Mansion will suffer the consequences.
