Guzang City is named after Guzang Mountain, and there is a Jieyin Temple on Guzang Mountain, which is the most famous temple in Guzang City and even the entire Wuwei County. Everyone from high-ranking officials and nobles to traffickers and pawns likes to go to Jieyin Temple Burning incense and worshiping Buddha or divination.

At noon that day, a carriage was guarded by hundreds of soldiers and stopped outside the gate of Jieying Temple. Afterwards, Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor Wang Cheng was helped from the carriage.

Although Wang Cheng sent his own soldiers early this morning to inform Jieyin Temple that he would come to burn incense and worship Buddha today, but the time was too hasty, Jieyin Temple did not have time to prepare, and it was not easy to send those elders early in the morning. Believers who came to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha were driven away. After all, this was disrespectful to the Buddha.

In the end, he could only make a compromise, closing the main entrance of Jieyin Temple, and persuading other pilgrims to go to the side hall to burn incense, and enter and exit through the side entrance, so as to ensure that no one would disturb Wang Cheng, the high-ranking governor of Liangzhou.

Seeing Wang Cheng get off the carriage, Master Guangzhi, the abbot of the Jieyin Temple, hurriedly led dozens of monks, big and small, to meet him, and bowed to Wang Cheng with his hands clasped together: "Amitabha, welcome the governor from all over the Jieyin Temple." Small temple."

Wang Cheng looked around and saw that there were no other people around, he was very satisfied, but he replied politely: "I have taken the liberty to visit your temple and disturb the masters to clean up, and I still look at Haihan."

Master Guangzhi didn't dare to answer these words, and quickly said: "Amitabha, as for the governor, the governor always manages everything. It is the honor of the small temple to be able to visit the small temple today. I am afraid that the small temple has not prepared well and neglected the governor. .”

Wang Cheng didn't want to stand in front of the mountain gate to be courteous to Master Guangzhi anymore, so he smiled and said, "I just came here today to worship the Buddha, please ask Master to lead the way."

"Amitabha, please come from the Metropolitan Governor."

Master Guangzhi led Wang Cheng into the monastery, followed closely by dozens of soldiers with the strongest martial arts skills, pushing the monks aside, causing the monks to shake their heads secretly, but dared not get angry Dare to speak.

As soon as they entered the temple, the guards stepped forward to guard all the gates along the way, completely separating the main hall and the side hall. Such a big movement was very powerful, and it also attracted many believers who were originally burning incense in the side hall. They were asking each other which big man came to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Hundreds of monks have gathered in the Daxiong Hall, and the sound of chanting sutras and wooden fish sounds one after another, making it even more solemn.

Wang Cheng knelt on a futon in the middle, respectfully bowed three times in front of the huge statue of Sakyamuni, Master Guangzhi then stepped forward, put his hands together, and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, I can feel the great governor's devout heart to worship Buddha."

Wang Cheng didn't get up immediately, but said to Master Guangzhi, "Master, please bring the stick. This disciple wants to ask for a hexagram in front of the Buddha."

Master Guangzhi didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly took the lottery holder himself, and presented it to Wang Cheng with both hands respectfully,

Wang Cheng held the stick with both hands and knelt in front of the Buddha, closed his eyes and silently recited "Buddha's blessings" in his heart, and then began to shake the stick...

Soon, a lot fell in front of him.

Wang Cheng put down the lottery tube, picked up the signature in front of him, glanced at the words on it, handed it to Master Guangzhi with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Master, please interpret the sign for this disciple."

Master Guangzhi didn't dare to be negligent, took the lottery with both hands, glanced at it, and saw the word "Wugong" written on it, and immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations to the governor, this is the best lottery."

Wang Cheng couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Master, why do you dare to ask the signature?"

Guangzhi clasped his hands together again, chanted the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the inscription says, 'The sword jumps out of the box to shine brightly, and it does not stir up dust at all in the box; now a nobleman appears with him, and everyone admires him with power and influence', which means The great governor's sword comes out of the box, shining brightly, the nobleman guides, and everything is happy. This lottery will benefit from everything in the past."

Wang Cheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, the sword came out of the box, everything was happy, wasn't he talking about himself?Finally secretly made up his mind, but his face remained calm, he smiled at Master Guangzhi and said, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying my disciple's doubts."

Wang Cheng seemed to have taken a reassurance at this time, and felt a good mood for a while, so he got up from the futon, called Wang Jing, his personal soldier, and ordered: "After returning to the city, send someone to Jieyin Temple. A thousand sticks of incense money."

Rao Master Guangzhi is an eminent monk with profound practice, and he couldn't help secretly marveling at Wang Cheng's generosity, clasped his hands together and thanked: "On behalf of my Buddha, I would like to thank the Governor for his generosity, and everyone in the temple will definitely chant scriptures and pray for the Governor."

Afterwards, Wang Cheng, who was in a good mood, declined Master Guangzhi's farewell, and left the monastery under the guard of his own soldiers. As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate, he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to the monk who was following him. Wang Jing, the school lieutenant of the personal soldier, ordered in a low voice: "You immediately send someone to inform the general on the note that he will secretly come to my house to see me tonight."

……

In the dead of night, everything is quiet, but the study room of Anxi Dadu Protectorate is brightly lit, a man dressed as a watchman is reporting something to Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang's expression was very serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure that a dozen or so people entered the Metropolitan Government's Mansion through the back door tonight?"

The watchman nodded heavily, and said decisively: "Yes, Your Highness, my subordinates have been observing near the back door of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for most of the night. A total of 13 people entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion through the back door at night, looking very worried about being discovered by others. Moreover, the subordinates also recognized one of them as General Xuanwei Wang Xiu."

Xiao Huang couldn't help frowning, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but sneer.

Of course he knew Wang Xiu, he was not only Wang Cheng's confidant general, but also one of Wang Cheng's false sons, and the identities of the other twelve people were either his confidantes or his false sons.

Xiao Huang waved his hand and signaled the watchman to continue to monitor near the Governor's Mansion, and report to him immediately if there is any news.

As soon as the watchman left, Wang Sheng, who had been silent on the sidelines, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said to Xiao Huang: "Your Highness, Wang Cheng secretly summoned so many confidants to his residence in the middle of the night to discuss matters, could it be There's some conspiracy going on."

Xiao Huang smiled coldly, and his tone was full of jokes: "You may not know that today, Wang Cheng went to the Jieyin Temple outside the city to worship Buddha with great fanfare."

Wang Sheng was slightly taken aback. He was busy with Qingquan Manor and Xiao Jing's affairs during the day, and he really didn't know about it. He couldn't help but wondered: "Go to the temple to worship Buddha at this time? What is Wang Cheng thinking?"

Xiao Huang smiled playfully again: "I know my father-in-law very well, he is the most superstitious person, but if he wants to plan big things, he must first seek a hexagram, ask about good and bad, so that he can feel at ease."

Wang Sheng was startled again, and seemed to understand Xiao Huang's implication: "Your Highness means, what big move is Wang Cheng going to make recently?"

Xiao Huang nodded and sneered: "If I'm not wrong, he should want to deal with me, maybe he wants my life, so that he can regain the Liangzhou army."

Wang Sheng couldn't help being surprised: "Then Your Highness, don't you want to make preparations early? To avoid being hurt by Wang Cheng.",

Xiao Huang patted Wang Sheng's shoulder lightly, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry, from the moment I knew that the princess failed to poison Wang Wei, I knew that Wang Cheng would turn against me sooner or later, so I secretly sent someone to pretend As a street vendor and watchman, I secretly monitor the Governor's Mansion, and Wang Cheng's every move is under my control."

Seeing that Xiao Huang was so confident, Wang Sheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then he seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "But Wang Cheng is His Highness's father-in-law after all, if His Highness fights with him See, I am worried that the world will inevitably criticize His Highness, and I am afraid His Highness will not be able to explain it to the princess."

Xiao Huang didn't speak for a long time, but slowly closed his eyes, sighed, then opened his eyes and said: "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to go this far, but Wang Cheng has already plotted to kill me, I always You can't let him be slaughtered...you don't care about small things if you make big things, the princess can only blame his father for disregarding the love of Weng and his son-in-law."

Wang Sheng's mouth moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Xiao Huang took a deep look at Wang Sheng again, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about Wang Cheng's affairs anymore, you find some brothers who are trustworthy and good at martial arts, and take my son away from Qingquan Manor as soon as possible, now Wang Cheng and I are about to face each other, at this time, I will never let Wang Cheng threaten me with my son."

Wang Sheng nodded silently: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will leave the matter of King Zhongshan to my subordinates."

Xiao Huang also nodded, then looked at the full moon in the sky, and smiled coldly in his heart.

Liangzhou is about to change.

The world should change too!
