The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 783

Jia Cong is impatient, and Liu Xiaoqi is also curious.The two discussed, even though they didn't know what was in the temple, at least they could dig out a lot of black material about the emperor's family, and spreading it to other countries would also be an excellent weapon of public opinion.Do not hesitate.So they went to Yang's house overnight to dig Yang Song, the captain of the Armed Police Force, from the kang, ordered [-] students from the newly established Armed Police School to perform night exercises temporarily, and went straight to Wanshou Temple.

Clear oil street lamps have been erected on both sides of the main road in the capital, the light is dim, and the night market has not yet ended.A group of people and horses passed through the city, and the soldiers were all wearing camouflage uniforms.People visiting the night market are unavoidably curious, looking around and guessing wildly.The moon hangs high in the sky.Although it is not as round as a jade plate like the [-]th day, it is also bright and cute.Suddenly, the team leader led the students to sing "Young Aspirations Don't Sorrow". Jia Cong felt a strange sense of time and space disorder.

Temples are originally solemn places.The snow has not yet melted, and it is even solemn under the moon.Yang Song commanded the students to set up surveillance around the Wanshou Temple, blocking all the gates and small gates.Such a big movement has already alarmed the monks in the temple.The two monks walked out of the Heavenly King Hall with clear oil lamps with glass covers, when they saw Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi leading their soldiers in through the mountain gate.The four of them stood face to face at the entrance of the hall.The monk clasped together and saluted, and the two returned the salute.

One of the monks recognized Jia Cong and said, "Benefactor Zhou came here on the Lantern Festival."

Jia Cong nodded: "That's right. Come tonight, because Gai has something to ask to see Master Chen presided over by Bao Sha."

Another monk said: "If you want to see the abbot, why did you lead the troops here?"

Jia Cong said: "Since ancient times, soldiers have been unreasonable. The purpose of leading soldiers is to tell the abbot that late students may not be reasonable with your temple, and our status is not fair."

The two monks recited the Buddha in unison, but their faces were calm.But he turned around and led the two of them to the abbot's courtyard.Yang Song stayed outside with all the armed police students.

Master Liaochen sat safely in the abbot's room, when he heard the news from two monks, he ordered the guests to enter the room.Then he bowed his palms together and invited them to sit down.Liu Xiaoqi sat down first.

Jia Cong stood and bowed to the old monk, and said, "Master, I'm sorry for disturbing you at night."

Liao Chen didn't dare to sit down, so he stood up and said, "The regent led the troops to surround the temple overnight, what's the reason?"

Jia Cong nodded: "Yes. I want to know what other part-time jobs the Wanshou Temple has besides being a monk temple and a royal health hall. Don't say no. Just relying on Master Yuan to guess my identity casually. I know that you are very concerned about the situation in the court and what the important officials in the court look like."

Liaochen recited the Buddha's way: "It is true. It's just inconvenient to tell the regent."

Jia Cong smirked and said, "I really can't? Do you want to stop discussing? I still hope to solve the problem with civilization. Master really wants to force me to repair the Wanshou Temple, so I can only obey."

Liaochen said: "The small temple is outside the square, why should the regent..."

Jia Cong interrupted: "Many temples and nunneries in this world are located outside the square, and your temple is definitely not one of them. Master, there is no place that can be completely independent from the political power. Xiao Wang can give relative freedom to religious places, but it is only relative. It's easy to find an excuse. Hearing the law has made half of the dignitaries in the capital green, and even sitting on this thing was decided by your Situ family yourself."

Liaochen said together: "The matter of hearing the Dharma is the order of King Yan, and the small temple has no choice."

"You guys can do it again." Jia Cong said, "Since the master doesn't want to say it, so be it. The Tianqi Temple outside the west city gate is quite big, and all masters are invited to go there tonight. Wanshou Temple, I will clean it up Repair it, and change it into a museum or something in the future.”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Don't! There are many monks and Taoist priests living in Tianqi Temple. Since the liquidation is going to be carried out overnight, it is better to send it to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for temporary detention. It is said that it is because the monk's green hat case has been found out As a side matter, I don't know how many of these monks are clean, and how many have slept with the nobles in the capital. I have to take them all for the time being. After a few months, this matter will be cleared up, and then the clean ones will be sent to Tianqi Temple. Those who want to become monks will continue to become monks, and those who want to become laymen will become laymen.”

Liaochen was furious and shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Jia Cong shrugged: "One day tour of the Forbidden City has been vigorous and vigorous for a year or two. What kind of presumptuousness is this? Besides, no matter how barbaric we are, can we compare with the late emperor? Wu Guifei under the nine springs will definitely not agree."

Liaochen Haoxuan staggered and fell to the ground.After a while, he pointed at Jia Cong and was speechless.Liu Xiaoqi kindly said: "We guessed it."

Jia Cong went on to say: "It's actually pretty easy to guess. Besides, there's nothing strange about this. It's everywhere in ancient and modern China and abroad. Don't be surprised, master. You must also be someone who has read history books. From the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Xuangong Chu Didn’t King Ping snatch his daughter-in-law? During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was an emperor who slept with his daughter-in-law. I forgot what it was called. The most famous one should be Concubine Yang. Tsk tsk, Concubine Yang and Concubine Wu, the title of Concubine Gui is really It is not auspicious. There are many overseas, and there are more folks. ** Adultery has existed since the beginning of human society, and it will disappear until the extinction of human beings. Really, it is common. If it is because of this reason that Master Wenkong is not allowed to return to vulgarity, Xiao Wang felt that it was too inexplicable."

Liao Chen looked at the two of them for half a day, and said: "I heard that Kong was born unclean, so I should practice Buddhism in order to atone for my sins."

"Fart!" Jia Cong slammed the case.Liu Xiaoqi suddenly smiled and looked around with folded arms.Jia Cong said with a sullen face, "Isn't Wen Kong the most innocent? Did the two of you ask him for his consent when they gave birth to him? The crime was clearly the late Emperor's. The baby was reincarnated cleanly, the father's fault Nothing to do with him."

Liu Xiaoqi shut up when he heard only a few words from him, frowned dissatisfied, and said behind: "Because, the monks think it's a crime to pick up ashes. If it's a crime, you have to find someone to do it." Punishment for venting anger. These people clearly know who is at fault, because they dare not ask the Lord's crime, they can only take the blame on the innocent baby, blatantly bullying the good and fearing the evil."

Jia Cong hurriedly said, "That's right. The baby and Concubine Wu are both victims, but it's a bit shameless for the master to blame the perpetrators on the victims again."

Liao Chen was speechless, so he had to fold his palms together.After a while, he said: "It will damage the majesty of the Tian family."

Jia Cong immediately said: "Where does it damage the majesty of the Tian family? Wen Kong is an abandoned baby and doesn't know his parents. If he returns to the vulgar, he will probably simply be named Wen, or Wanshou Chansi with your surname Wan. An ordinary little monk, with What is the Tian Family doing?" Liao Chen still shook his head.

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Master, you don't have to worry about the majesty of the Tian family. The majesty of the Tian family has disappeared since the empress dowager sold the title."

Liao Chen said calmly: "The matter of selling the title was proposed by the Regent."

"Oh!" Jia Cong clapped his palms, "You know this all the time! But I was just a proposal, and the Empress Dowager must adopt it. At that time, my grand master uncle and master monk were still there. He probably opposed it. Then he said You must have been killed." Jia Cong bared his teeth, "Master Liaochen must have objected too. It's just that the objection is invalid. Well, judging from this section, your power is limited. And your intelligence is also limited. Otherwise , you can think of another way to get money for the Empress Dowager to support the Forbidden City, then you don’t need to sell the title.”

It was dusty.Jia Cong said with a smile: "Xiao Wang would like to ask, are all the abandoned babies in your temple not allowed to return to the vulgar, or only Wenkong is not allowed to return to the vulgar."

Liao Chen said: "Wen Kong's life experience is different from others."

Jia Cong said "hmm": "That is, if other people want to return to vulgarity, it is still possible?" Liao Chen hesitated for a long time, then nodded.Jia Cong said, "I understand. You still need Wenkong. Either use his appearance, the young man is very good-looking; or use his talent and learning. I heard that this person is good at writing poems and is still studying medicine. Gu Buqi has other functions. Therefore, the master is unwilling to let him go free." He turned his head to a soldier who followed him a few days ago, "You recognize Master Wenkong's yard, come catch the sheep."

The soldiers agreed and led a few people away.Liu Xiaoqi laughed loudly, pointed at him and said, "You are a robber!" Jia Cong winked.

Liao Chen suddenly felt ominous: "What does the Prince Regent intend to do?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Didn't Master listen? Catch the sheep!"

Catching sheep is a special battalion term, which refers to pretending to be a bandit and arresting people.Several personal soldiers left the abbot's courtyard, ran silently along the side of the road like ghosts, and sneaked out of Wenkong's courtyard in the blink of an eye.A soldier looked inside and saw that there was no one in the courtyard and there was light in the house, so he waved his hand; the brothers followed.I went inside and pierced the window paper to take a look. The young monk Wen Kong was sitting in front of the desk reading scriptures, and there was no one else in the room.The leading soldier smiled and gestured.

With a bang, someone kicked open the door.Wen Kong hurriedly turned his head to wait and see, but there was no one there.Then he stood up and asked, "Who is it?" and walked towards the door.This kid really has no common sense.Stepping out of the threshold in a daze, seeing the silence all around, only the Qingyue in the courtyard murmured, "It's strange..." Before he finished speaking, an arm struck Wen Kong's back of the head from behind.Wenkong fell forward with an "oops".He was planted in mid-air, and his forehead was about to pounce on the green bricks on the ground. Before he could speak, a gray sack came over obliquely from top to bottom, and firmly wrapped Wenkong's head.The mouth of the bag was tied immediately, and Wen Kong's eyes were darkened.He opened his mouth and was about to shout, but he was hit on the back of the head again, and immediately passed out.

The soldiers untied the sack again, gagged his mouth first, then blindfolded him, tied up his hands and feet, put another big sack back in, and carried him away.The poor and graceful generation of poet monks suddenly became a burden of sackcloth.

That Jia Cong was still arguing with Master Chen, when he heard those soldiers came back, he asked with a smile, "Did you get it?"

The soldiers gave a military salute: "Report, the task has been successfully completed."

Jia Cong nodded: "Thank you for your hard work." Nai turned to Chen and said, "We captured Wenkong."

Liaochen was shocked: "Why did you arrest him?"

"Nothing." Jia Cong said, "Once you get old with Master Yuan, you will definitely not tell us why you don't let him go back to vulgarity. Therefore, I plan to send him to the bandit's den to raise him for a few months, let him change into bandit clothes, Eat and live with the bandits. Isn’t he good at medicine? Just treat him as a bandit doctor. When his hair grows out, try to recruit the bandits and recruit him together. He has become a good citizen. He wanted to return to vulgarity."

Liao Chen was stunned: "This! How unreasonable!"

Jia Cong said aggrievedly: "How can you blame Xiao Wang! If Xiao Wang wants to know what will happen if Wen Kong returns to vulgarity, shouldn't he just let him return to vulgarity first? Otherwise, what else can I do? Or Master help me think about it ?” Liu Xiaoqi laughed.

Liaochen is a monk, he has never seen such an unhindered person, his face is like gold paper and his hands and feet are trembling with anger.After a long time, he sighed: "The way of heaven does not exist, and the gods and Buddhas are helpless."

Jia Cong spread his hands: "Okay, okay, it's obvious that Xiao Wang can't get the master's words tonight. So let's do this first. I ask all the masters to endure hardships and move to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After we investigate the Wanshou Temple After keeping it secret, if you still want to be a monk, I will choose another temple for you." He stood up, turned around and ordered, "Go outside the temple and ask Captain Yang to lead someone in, and let him arrest all the monks in this temple. It doesn't matter if the monk complains, tell them that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment will return the integrity of the decent monk, but will never let an obscene monk go. Then send someone to Wucheng Bingma Division. Mr. Zhao Cheng has already left the yamen for a while, so tell him to go back to work overtime. Let them prepare the notice, and it must be posted all over the capital tomorrow morning—a number of monks in Wanshou Temple have affairs with women from good families, and the government is investigating the matter carefully. The temple is temporarily sealed and sealed." The two soldiers agreed, Turn around and leave.

Liaochen shouted: "Stop!" The two soldiers seemed to have never heard of it.Liao Chen sighed, looked at Jia Cong and said, "Let them come back. The small temple has never done anything against the regent."

Jia Cong blinked: "Say it."

"Invite those two benefactors to come back first."

Jia Cong then called the two of them to come back temporarily.Liaochen picked up the clear oil glass lamp on the desk, got up and went out.Jia Cong and others followed behind.Walk all the way to the Buddhist scriptures building.Wanshou Temple is a big temple with a huge scripture library.Liaochen led them upstairs, passed through several rooms full of bookshelves, and finally turned the switch in front of a large bookshelf.There was a creaking sound, and the bookshelf slid open, revealing a door.Inside is a large room with bookshelves on all four walls, and many glass oil lamps are lit, which are as bright as day.There are four treasures of study on the case, and more than a dozen monks write at the desk.

Liaochen said: "My temple received a secret order from the grandparents to compile another history book of this dynasty."

Jia Cong looked inside and said, "In addition to the history books compiled by the court historians, will the masters compile another history book?"

Liaochen said: "Grandpa said: Since the Tang Dynasty, historians have listened to the emperor's order to compile history. There are also unworthy people in my descendants. If they do something unreasonable, they will order historians to cover it up, or vice versa. Frame others. History is a lesson for future generations, so don’t make nonsense like writing an article. So I ordered the monks in this temple to compile another history. Don’t tell lies, don’t cover up scandals for others, and don’t frame innocent people.”

Jia Cong nodded: "Grandfather is a visionary. Then... have you written the ashes of the late emperor?"

"I wrote it." Liaochen said, "The first emperor was not... but the Supreme Emperor was a little presumptuous at that time, so he was punished."

Jia Cong said with a smile: "He wanted to punish his son, but he took an innocent woman under the knife. He is really incompetent." Nai then asked, "The late emperor dug up the tomb of his father and stole the things buried with him, did you write it? "

"wrote."

"You guys know a lot. Grandpa tricked the Heavenly Master into teaching Maitreya?"

Liao Chen was surprised: "My lord even knows about this. This matter was written by the grandpa personally instructing the little temple."

Jia Cong gave a thumbs up: "Grandfather is a good man, no wonder he was able to found the country. I respect him as a man."
