Devil’s Advent

In other parts of the Yan Kingdom, both officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians were lying on the ground exhausted because they had just finished dealing with a war, panting excitedly with the aftertaste of the excitement that Qianren Kingdom was broken by us;

And in Jindong,

The officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians here can be said to hold their breath until now;

Especially after learning of the glorious results of his prince's battle, his heart felt sour;

It is different from the previous celebration after the prince's great victory,

When the news of this great victory spread to Eastern Jin, especially to Fengxin City, the common people, according to the usual practice, cut their meat with wine and had a good meal;

Then, as he ate and drank, his eye sockets began to turn red, and there was an extremely strong sense of resentment on the dining table.

Ordinary people are lamenting why they didn't get the round. After this great victory, how many rewards can the peasants in the rear get?

As for the standard household, it was even more heartbroken, not daring to scold publicly or say anything disrespectful, but just a sip of wine followed by tears, the big man raised his voice and complained:

We just don't understand why the prince would rather bring foreign soldiers to fight than us?

Fengxin City is absolutely loyal to the prince. After all, it is no exaggeration to say that this city and everything here exist because of the prince.

But it is also the depth of this love, the depth of respect,

It's even more unacceptable to the prince's behavior of petting other dogs!

in short,

Just jealous,

And very jealous,

The whole Fengxin City seemed to be soaked in a big vinegar vat, and there was no need to use saucers to eat dumplings.

During those nights, Qu Peiluo, who was in charge of internal and external affairs of the city defense, arrested many people who committed crimes after drinking;

There is no curfew in Fengxin City. This is a city with extremely developed commerce, operating day and night.

But this does not mean that you can go unpunished if you get drunk at night, yell loudly, or smash the courtyard walls, doors and windows of people on the street for no reason.

In the prison, many people were arrested;

After sobering up, these people huddled together in the cell before they had time to realize that they had committed a crime.

Some shouted how I fought for the prince in Xueguan;

Some shouted, how did I block the army of the Chu people for the prince when I was in Chu country;

Some were crying, how I was in Green Willow Castle back then...

……jailer.

When the jailer heard this, he immediately came to his senses, lifted the man out of the public cell, and transferred him to a single cell.

Then I looked for the boss of my family who had to retire from the army to work as the head of the prison because of an arm injury and became disabled, only to find that he was indeed a general!

Straight girl thief,

With this jealousy, no distinction is made between top and bottom, and even the general will drink too much, pee and come out at night to make a mess.

However, the jailers didn't panic, and they didn't bother to make an apology. In Fengxincheng Prison, there are quite a few jailers who have been demobilized from old guards, and these are basically registered households.

Having the status of a bidder means that there is a leader above, and can be pushed to a very high position layer by layer. In short, there are genuine people above.

Moreover, bidders have their own special yamen, and if they commit a crime or are wronged, there is a place where they can directly appeal.

The general is indeed a high-ranking official, but if he wants to bully others, he can always find someone who is higher than the general to uphold justice.

Furthermore,

It was General Qu who ordered the arrest and clearing of the street.

Who is General Qu?

The relationship between him and the prince can be said to be extremely deep, who will he be afraid of?

This way, if you think about it carefully, it always gives people a weird feeling, but in essence, the words are not rough.

but,

At this time, General Qu really has no time to care about how many big fish he caught last night and entered the cell;

because,

The princess is about to be born.

When the princess had just confirmed that she was pregnant, several gentlemen in the palace had calculated the expected date of delivery, and the approximate date had already been set.

it's no secret;

In the early morning, all the guards in Jinyi, who were supposed to be resting or taking shifts today, were all recalled to the palace to take up their duties, which meant that the princess' stomach must have moved.

Qu Peiluo paced back and forth in the signing room,

He himself felt a little baffled, why he was so worried, why he was so anxious and worried about gains and losses?

How deep is his relationship with the princess?

Before he got married, he actually met those two times;

After she got married, she met only twice;

This woman, who almost brought him supreme glory, also brought him the greatest humiliation in the world as a man, and after that, she was a fig leaf for him to continue living in this world.

perhaps,

The relationship between men and women in the world is simply expressed by love, which is too thin and arbitrary.

Some factors that continue to be cut and reasoned and become chaotic have been attached to layers of fetters early on, and the constant cutting and reasoning is still chaotic, even if it is only one-sided.

In short,

Qu Peiluo is really worried about the princess now,

Without any personal emotions, I just simply hope that she can give birth safely.

stop

Qu Peiluo sighed,

muttered:

Be safe.

...

At this time, the Pingxi Prince's Mansion was on alert, raised to the highest level.

But in the courtyard of the inner house, it was a different scene.

bump!

Siniang put her left hand on her swollen belly, and played mahjong skillfully with her right hand;

Sitting at the table were Liu Ruqing, Keshi and the blind man's daughter-in-law Yuexin.

Be quick and play your cards.

Si Niang urged.

Liu Ruqing and the other three women could only continue to fight with them.

Hey, hey, this is money, be serious.

Si Niang reminded.

The princess standing behind Si Niang, with one hand on her belly and the other on her waist, also urged:

Oh, hurry up, don't make my sister wait.

Liu Ruqing, Ke Shi and Yue Xin, the three girls subconsciously raised their heads to look at the princess, then lowered their heads and accelerated the speed of playing cards.

Nonsense!

Si Niang pushed the cards.

My sister is really good at playing cards. I didn't notice it when I played with my sister before. Standing behind my sister today really opened my sister's eyes.

In the past, when playing poker, you should put your mind to it, and it's enough to play it back and forth. Anyway, you don't get any money, so you can play casually. Now it's no longer possible. Nine of your thoughts have to be on your stomach, but you don't have to worry about it. Do you want to give up again?

hey-hey.

Xiong Liqing lightly touched Siniang's arm with her stomach: Sister is the best.

What's so good, your eccentricity is also absolutely perfect, you have a big belly, and you are about to give birth, but you can't eat well all of a sudden, you can't sleep well, you have to listen to the sound of playing cards to feel comfortable.

Our family has a big business, that's right;

It is true that our prince has a good temper;

The lord doesn't care much about expecting his son to become a dragon, but if he really wants to give birth to a gambler, it's too sorry for him, right?

That's pretty good, isn't it? With such a big family and such a big family business, there are always a few playboys or something. Otherwise, wouldn't the brothers and sisters live too hard in the future?

The brothers and sisters here refer to the children.

Even though she was about to give birth at this time, and the first child in Pingxi Palace was about to be born, Xiong Liqing still didn't dare to say goodbye to Siniang;

You can't compete with others for favor, and you can't play tricks with them. They always treat you politely. If you don't know what you want to do, then you are really too stupid.

In the past, the princess thought that a mother is more expensive than a child, and she does not compete for the present but for the future;

But after ten months of pregnancy, such thoughts have faded a lot. Before pregnancy, the child was just a tool in her eyes, but after pregnancy, this feeling of mother and child being united made her understand early on how to be a child. The true meaning of motherhood.

The fundamental reason is that although his man is now a veritable Emperor of Earth, in terms of power, he is much higher than those small country heads, but the atmosphere in the house has always been very harmonious.

It's not like in the deep palace, where the coldness reveals a cannibalism;

Since you won't be forced to take that step, who wouldn't want to simply enjoy the time?

It's just right, when that Concubine Fu arrives, she can take care of you and take care of the children, so we don't have to hire a confinement wife. Siniang said with a smile.

Xiong Liqing said a little angrily: My lord, it's true, my sister didn't know what it means to be unrestrained and unrestrained, but now she really understands that not only must she fight beautifully, but she must also hold beauties in her arms.

I used to watch those big dramas or TV books in the palace before, and I always felt that the stories in them were too unrealistic, but when I opened my eyes and looked at our prince, he lived this life like the characters in the TV books. I have changed my notebook.

Do you still need to look at others? Do you still need to talk about now? You don't even need to look at how you got here, haha.

Si Niang joked without hesitation.

Oh, sister you!

Xiong Liqing blushed pretty, and gently pushed Siniang's arm.

I'm afraid that the history books of the five hundred years before and after will not be able to count the second case of robbing the princess and then making great achievements.

Si Niang said with emotion again: I just heard that Princess Fu was tamed by our family long ago. I had contact with him when I attacked Qian for the first time, and my mother was there at that time. This time, It can be regarded as the master went up to relive the old relationship and scored twice.

If it doesn't explode, it's boring to train.

The old lady is still looking forward to it and doesn't know when the princess will be able to enter our palace.

In fact, the women here have always had an illusion;

The women in the palace were not so much collected by the prince, but rather that sister Feng of my family wanted to accept them in the name of the prince.

Liu Ruqing said with a smile: My lord is triumphant this time, my sister is relieved. I heard the rumors of the war over there earlier, and I was really worried to death.

Isn't there a saying that regret teaches your husband and son-in-law to look for the Marquis? Our family is already a prince. As women, we regret it too late. Xiong Liqing picked up a cup of jujube tea with a smile, and took two sips.

Yue Xin said at this time: I don't know if the prince can come back in time.

Ke Shi echoed, My lord is probably in a hurry.

The princess waved her hand and said, If the man doesn't come back, the child will have to be born. The last assassination must be a big risk, isn't it because of the neighbor...

The princess paused for a moment, and said: My lord, be steady, and return home safely.

Okay, you should drink less of this qi-invigorating tea now, don't wait until the ginseng soup won't work when you're about to give birth. Also, go lie down and sleep for a while to replenish your energy.

Si Niang ordered.

Okay, sister.

Xiong Liqing lay down obediently.

Sister, keep fighting.

Xiong Liqing urged with a narrowed smile.

Si Niang couldn't help having a headache, she still had a lot of things to do, bonds, banknotes, minted coins, a few days ago the men were out fighting, she was really bored with a big belly, so she started to practice the previous ideas , this is just the beginning, when things are busy, but I still have to stay here to play mahjong for her;

But there is no way,

After all, he married into the door, so he had to take some responsibility.

Come on, shuffle the cards.

...

The incense of the Gourd Temple has been very strong since the establishment of the temple.

In the wars of the previous years, the savages came and went against the Chu people, and the Yan people fought in and out again. Even if it was a famous temple or ancient temple, it was blown away by the rain and the wind.

Afterwards, regardless of whether it was the Earl's Mansion at the beginning, or the Marquis' Mansion later, or the current Wang's Mansion, in Eastern Jin, anyone who found Fangwai, regardless of their family or sect, would be invited into training camps once they were discovered. , and then sent to the snowfields to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people in the snowfields;

In favor of one another, here in Xincheng, the only sustenance that the people can find in this respect is this gourd temple, which is the only one, there is no semicolon, let alone competition, and it is hard to imagine that the incense will not flourish.

It's the same today.

only,

Today, the people who came to burn incense did not see the crazy monk and the charming little monk.

And today, the incense pavilion in the innermost part of the Gourd Temple, which enshrines the longevity tablet of Prince Pingxi, has also been closed, and it is said to be repaired.

actually,

There are people inside.

A Taoist priest wearing a dirty Taoist robe is standing in front of the tablet of longevity. On the tablet is a statue of the prince, sitting on the back of Pixiu.

The statues are carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. This kind of treatment can make those many gods and Buddhas in the temple who have their eyeballs pinched out of donkey dung and eggs cry greedily.

Below the tablet is the monument of merit and virtue, which records the life achievements of Prince Pingxi.

The latest engraving is the record after entering the job, but the engraving has not yet been completed.

The Taoist priest looked at it and laughed,

road;

This card has been erected, this statue has been molded, and this stele has been engraved, but it is clear that this person is not dead yet.

Behind the Taoist priest, little monk Liao Fan heard this,

road:

Does a person have to be dead to erect a statue and inscribe a stele?

The Taoist nodded, and said: Otherwise, the conclusion can only be determined after the coffin is built. Sometimes, even a hundred years after death, one has to worry about being overturned, and one's reputation will be ruined.

Little monk Fan put his hands together,

road;

Fellow Daoist, this is a Buddhist temple.

What about the Buddhist temple?

What is built in the Buddhist temple is the Buddha.

Hahahaha, this flattery is really a toothache. He is still alive, so you hurriedly set him up as a Buddha?

Little monk Fan was not ashamed,

Instead, he said in a solemn voice:

There are Buddhas in this world.

Human Buddha?

Five years ago, this place was still a piece of white land, and the land was washed away by soldiers, and the alkali was not growing. Now, the land in the east of Shanxi has regained its vitality.

This is a great merit.

Why can't someone with great merit and virtue fail to become a Buddha?

dead, already dead;

When a person is dead, let him become a Buddha. What is the benefit to the living?

When a person is alive, let him become a Buddha, and he has the law of compassion in his heart, which can restrain his body and benefit all people.

The priest nodded thoughtfully,

road:

This theory sounds novel, but it is indeed interesting. Only bald donkeys like you can understand such a flexible method. You deserve it;

A fat head with big ears, and a pink head covering her face!

Taoist priests go down the mountain in troubled times, and monks in prosperous times collect money;

This statement,

It's true.

The little monk Liaofan said, Since you have become a monk, you and I will be divided between you and me. This family, has it or not?

Pindao is not in the mood to fight with you, a little monk. Pindao went down the mountain this time only for one thing.

Which country are fellow Taoists from? asked the little monk Liao Fan.

Hehe, you've said it all. Now that you've become a monk, what country do you belong to? Does Buddha have a country?

on the side,

Tilt your head,

The crazy old monk with a halazi on the corner of his mouth said at this moment:

Buddhas do not have countries, believers do.

The Taoist was at a loss for words for a while, so he could only curse: It's really true, it can be said all over by your mouth!

immediately,

The Taoist seemed to think of something again,

road:

Are you Yan people? It seems not.

The old monk Kongyuan pointed to his feet,

road:

This is the country, here is the home.

good.

The priest took a deep breath,

With a flick of the cuff,

Immediately, bursts of radiance like the morning glow were released.

Practitioners in the present world, either, like Houshan, pursue the secrets of heaven; or, like the grandpa of Yan State who is also the current Eunuch Wei, pay attention to practical results;

But the way of the Taoist showed that his practice was not that of a Qi refiner, nor that of a grand master in the palace. What he was walking was the most primitive way of Taoism, a very difficult way.

Poverty is just passing by, come and have a look. As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of the Taoist priest's mouth, There is nothing in heaven, but in life, there is always a destiny; If the spirit comes out, there is no reason for the spirit to come out, it must be ominous!

The old monk Kongyuan sighed,

road:

You should ask his father about it, because having a leader is like a debt having a master.

The little monk Liao Fan interjected at this time: The prince will return soon, you can talk to him about cause and effect.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!

The Taoist priest let out a heroic laugh,

After laughing,

He said:

I can not.

... Liao Fan.

Five years ago, when I was about to leave the customs, Senior Master Xunzang chatted and figured out the secrets. Unfortunately, I didn't know until I got out of the customs. He was dismissed;

In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat again, thinking about waiting for the apprentice of Master Tibetan to grow up, maybe he could go to chat with him again;

But who knew, when he left the pass again, Li Xundao actually went down the mountain.

you say,

Is this pair of masters and apprentices stupid?

When you become a monk, you turn your head back. Will there be any good fruit to eat this time around?

The old monk Kongyuan said, I came here for the back mountain after all.

I'm just here to see.

The old monk Kongyuan put his hands together: I still look forward to fellow Taoists, think twice.

Why, are you determined to intercede for your master's unborn child?

No, it's what you said.

The old monk Kongyuan limped to the door of the pavilion,

reach out,

opened the door,

road:

The door is home, do you want to turn back?

In the eyes of the poor, this is not a door, but a robbery, one of the ways.

The old monk nodded and said, That poor monk, send fellow Taoists all the way.

real?

real.

Well.

The Taoist went out first, and the old monk limped behind.

A group of monks walked out from the innermost part of the Gourd Temple, and when they reached the outermost incense burner courtyard, many pilgrims saw this combination of monks and one group, and cast curious eyes one after another.

The Taoist glanced at these pilgrims,

Disdainfully whispered: The world is ignorant.

The old monk echoed, Yes.

immediately,

The old monk pointed to the Taoist priest,

Shouted to the surrounding crowd:

He is the assassin who wants to assassinate the prince, kill him!
