National teacher help

In the second year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty, Yang Su died of illness. There are different opinions on the cause of death.

At the beginning of the third year of Daye, Emperor Yangdi carried out large-scale construction projects and resorted to military warfare. The people were in dire straits, starving and dying everywhere, and the people changed their children to eat.

In June of the seventh year of Daye, Emperor Yang issued an edict to conquer Goguryeo.

In October, Wang Bo wrote "Song of Death in the Waves of No Direction in Liaodong" and launched an uprising in Shandong.

In November, due to the flood in Shandong in summer and autumn, there was no harvest, and the people exposed their corpses to the wilderness.Zhang Jincheng and Liu Badao revolted.Dou Jiande's family was ruined, the fleeing army left and rose up.

At the end of the year, Zhai Rang was convicted and fled to establish Wagang Village.

In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang went to the east for the second time, conquering Goguryeo himself, and attacking Liaodong city hard.

In the rear, peasant uprisings from all over the country bloomed like sparks on the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Finally, in this year, Yang Xuangan, the son of Yang Su, held a heavy army and declared war on Emperor Yang, igniting another beacon of troubled times.

Daye nine years, May.

There are sounds from all sides, and the long smoke sets and the lonely city closes.

A round of blood-colored sunset slowly sinks at the end of the world, and thunder rolls in the distant clouds, like a harbinger of impending turmoil.

The torrential rain was going to keep falling, making everyone feel uncomfortable, including Yang Guang, who was personally recruited by the imperial driver.

The long-term attack on Liaodong was fruitless, and the soldiers' corpses were piled up to a foot high under the city, and the Liaohe River was full of blood, which would not fade for a month.In the middle of the night, Yang Guang took off his armor, went back to the military tent, waved back the soldiers, and the guards outside the tent were heavily guarded.

The clouds gathered on the zenith and pressed down, forming a strange scene, as if the stars in the sky were sucked into a vast vortex, and all directions were lit up with red light.

The soldiers found out one after another, and they were amazed, as if the emperor's dragon breath greeted the heavens.Just as they were whispering to each other, suddenly a thunderbolt made the sound of tearing up the night sky, and fell with a bang.Straight to the big tent in the center of the barracks!

Yang Guang's imperial flag broke in an instant, and the commander of the expedition just woke up from his sleep when the tent was rolled down, and the surroundings were in chaos, and there were anxious voices everywhere in the darkness.

Lu Zhongming fell so hard that his eyes were staring, he found himself hugging a man and staggered hurriedly.looked at him blankly.

"Father... where's dad?" Lu Zhongming said blankly, "Where am I? Where is this? Dad!"

Yang Guang was dumbfounded, and looked at Lu Zhongming.

Yang Guang looked Lu Zhongming from head to toe.The golden swastika glowed from the side of Lu Zhongming's neck, which flashed for a moment and then disappeared. Even so, Yang Guang was quite frightened.

Yang Guang's expression was dignified, he couldn't guess the scene in front of him no matter what, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Lu Zhongming said blankly: "I... who am I? You... who are you? Where is my father?"

After a few breaths, Yang Guang roared like thunder.

"Catch the assassin—!"

Lu Zhongming retreated subconsciously, fell down, turned around and ran away instinctively, the entire army tent moved, three floors inside the [-] army, three floors outside, galloping horses back and forth, Lu Zhongming was frightened and stupid as soon as he rushed out, Why are there so many people?Still wearing armor?What is this place? !

"Catch the assassin—!"

"Run over there!"

Soldiers rushed up like a tide, and thousands of people held weapons. Lu Zhongming was dizzy and couldn't tell the direction at night. He stood in an open space, surrounded by people everywhere.

"Your Majesty has an order—catch the living—" a general galloped forward.

Lv Zhongming was illuminated by thousands of torches, and the open space was like daytime. He just couldn't stop panting for breath, his chest was bursting with golden light, and the dragon scales given by his father were actually shining.

The soldiers were terrified, the sounds of "monsters" and "odd omens" were heard endlessly, and a man rushed out of the middle tent, shouting: "What are you waiting for! Grab it!" Lu Zhongming subconsciously pressed his hand to his chest, but the soldiers came even sooner. Quickly, everyone rushed forward, and suddenly someone from behind hit Lu Zhongming on the back of the head with a stick.

Lu Zhongming's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground. The soldiers rushed up, tied him up like a rice dumpling, and carried him into the barracks.

Yang Guang was horrified by this unexpected incident in the middle of the night, standing in the tent, gasping for breath, summoned his subordinates, and there were different opinions for a while, Yang Guang said: "This... what kind of monster? How dare you bully me into my tent? Come to the nurse! Come to the nurse!"

The subordinates looked at each other, and a veteran bowed and said: "I am here, I think that your Majesty should not panic. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. I don't think you would dare to get close to ordinary monsters."

Only then did Yang Guang calm down a bit, and another general said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers in the army all said that the sky is abnormal tonight, but it is...a sign of auspiciousness from heaven."

Yang Guang was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he recalled that after the golden light shone, it was a young man who threw himself on him. In the short moment when the two looked at each other in the tent, the young man had dignified eyebrows, white skin and red lips, and he was not confused. It seems to have a demonic aura, but it is very clear and clean.

"Hmm." Yang Guang calmed down, nodded and said, "It's an auspicious omen, so let's explain it this way and order the whole army to report it to stop rumors. Come and protect your son, you stay here."

The generals all dispersed, only the old general was left, Yang Guang walked a few steps in the tent and asked, "Where is that demon...that Xiangrui being imprisoned now?"

Lai Huer said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the young man has been locked in a wooden prison. He is unconscious and has not changed. Both Duan Wenzhen and Dr. Mai have gone to see him. He does not seem to be a sycophant."

Yang Guang settled down and replied, "Follow me to have a look."

When Yang Guang and Lai Huer arrived in the prison camp, Lu Zhongming was still unconscious, curled up in a corner like a rice dumpling.

The soldier presented something and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, this was found from him."

Yang Guang took the thing and saw that it was not gold or jade, it was a thin piece, and when he held it in his hand, it lit up the entire tent, he was quite surprised immediately.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Yang Guang had never seen such a rare treasure before. When he saw it, he wanted to keep it for himself. He put it in his arms and signaled with his eyes. Splash it on Lu Zhongming's head.It was the end of spring at that time, the glaciers in Liaodong thawed, and the icy water was bitingly cold. Lu Zhongming immediately yelled, turned around, looked around, and was terrified.

Yang Guang looked at him for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"

Lu Zhongming said: "I...I am..."

As soon as Lu Zhongming struggled, he found himself tied up, and immediately shouted: "Let me go! What are you going to do!"

"Bold!" Lai Hu'er said angrily, "Do you know who is in front of you?! This is His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?" Lu Zhongming asked blankly, "What is Your Majesty? Who are you?"

Yang Guang waved his hand and asked, "Where do you live? What's your name?"

"Name..." Lu Zhongming tried his best to remember, with a painful expression on his face, he could only feel the buzzing in his head, and the ball of golden light was turning around.

Yang Guang: "Where are your parents from? Do you have brothers and sisters?"

"Father..." Lu Zhongming murmured, "Zhongming...my name is Lu Zhongming!"

Lu Zhongming remembered a familiar voice calling himself Zhongming, but he couldn't remember anything more. He was tied up very uncomfortable and said, "Let me go!"

"Lv Zhongming?" Yang Guang asked thoughtfully, "How did you come to my tent?"

Lu Zhongming shook his head blankly, he couldn't remember anything, he always felt that he had forgotten something very important, he came to nurse to see this child with a dazed face, but half the age of his grandson, with straight eyebrows and no hostility, like a son-in-law , I feel somewhat sympathetic.

"It should be that if you fall, you will hit your head." Lai Huer said to Yang Guang: "Your Majesty, this child is not like a villain."

Yang Guang nodded, for some reason, he felt a little affection for this young man, and said: "Untie his rope, but don't let him out, let him think carefully." After finishing speaking, he came to protect him Er whispered: "Like an auspicious one."

The rope on Lu Zhongming's body was untied, and when Yang Guang was about to ask a few more questions, another soldier came over, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yuan, Lieutenant Wei, please see me."

Yang Guang's heart moved, he turned around and said, "It's so far away, from Xingyang to Liaodong?"

"There is an urgent military situation in the pass." The soldier whispered.

Yang Guang didn't care about the young man in front of him, he hurriedly turned around and left.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Li Yuan was dressed in dust and dust, and there was a young monk standing beside him. Li Yuan's face was ashen, but the young monk was calm and relaxed.

"Your Majesty." Li Yuan said: "Chu Guogong Yang Xuangan rebelled! Invaded the capital!"

Yang Guang's shock was no small matter, and then he became indescribably angry, shouting: "Yang Xuan feels so courageous!"

Yang Xuangan is the son of Yang Su, the founding hero of the country. Yang Su’s power was in the court during his lifetime, and his descendants were shadowed after his death. Before the expedition, Yang Guang ordered Xuangan to lead the army to supervise the food in Liyang. Knowing the military situation, Yang Xuangan has been advancing like a broken bamboo since he raised his troops, and has already pushed into Luoyang.

Yang Guang was frightened in the middle of the night, and suddenly came this bad news. He had a splitting headache and couldn't speak for a long time, his fists were clenched tightly. However, the young monk beside Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this chaos will be settled in time. Can be removed."

Yang Guang's expression changed, and Li Yuan hurriedly said, "This is Master Jizang from Jiaxiang Temple, I don't know..."

"Your Majesty." The young monk looked up at Yang Guang and explained: "The poor monk went north along the way to find someone, and happened to meet Wei Wei Shaoqing, so he walked along the way. It is ominous, but the heavens in the north are auspicious, and it is expected that His Majesty will return to the teacher at this moment, and it will be a great victory."

Hearing this, Yang Guang felt a little relieved, looked at the elegant monk in front of him, suddenly remembered some of the past, and asked, "You belong to Master Falang..."

Ji Zang nodded and said: "The poor monk and His Majesty once met once in the past."

"Hmm." Yang Guang remembered, and said, "In Jiaxiang Temple in Kuaiji, you taught for Master Falang, that year..."

"That poor monk was 19 years old." Ji Zang clasped his hands together and nodded slightly.

The enemy is at present, Yang Guang is talking about the old days with a monk, all the officers are anxious, but they have no choice but to listen to the dead bald donkey.Jizang said: "Your Majesty, the lives of the people in the Central Plains are at stake. Your Majesty can't delay any longer. It's better to get up early."

Yang Guang was silent, and was about to ask about Ji Zang's auspiciousness, but Ji Zang said: "The poor monk has a merciless request here. Please, Your Majesty, let the poor monk bring back the young man who fell in the camp last night."

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, and then countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and he refused: "What boy? Fell in the camp? There is absolutely no such thing."

Ji Zang was also taken aback for a moment, and then said patiently: "Your Majesty, that young man is the one whom the Great Bright King is looking for, with a special status..."

"What... what?" Yang Guang was a little confused, thinking that the King of Great Light is the "Sakyamuni" that the people call "Sakyamuni", and so is Sakyamuni.But didn't Shizun die a long time ago... didn't he become a Buddha long ago?A Buddha, can tell his subordinates to let a monk come to find someone to ask for?

"Listen to what the mage said, but some evil spirits have entered the army?" Li Yuan was also at a loss. Jizang never mentioned this to him on the way, but only asked him to introduce him to meet Yang Guang.

Ji Zang hurriedly said, "It's not a demon, but an important person in my Buddhist school."

Yang Guang frowned slightly, and replied: "It's not a demon, but it's an auspicious thing?"

"This..." Ji Zangxian met Yang Guangchao for the first time, and he didn't understand his thoughts. After thinking for a while, he replied: "Your Majesty's real dragon protects the body, so it is naturally blessed by auspicious auspiciousness."

Yang Guang said, "That's right, but I haven't seen any young man before."

Ji Zang's expression was slightly displeased, and the people who came to protect the son and the others knew that Yang Guang wanted to keep the young man from last night. Since people in the Buddhist sect were alarmed and were looking for him, maybe it was really auspicious, come to protect him Er took the lead and said: "Master Ji Zang, the military situation is urgent at this moment. If Master doesn't believe it, why don't you come and check with me in the barracks to see if you can find this person?"

Ji Zang had no choice but to say: "No need, since he didn't show up, the poor monk must have misplaced his information. This young man is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he is carrying a golden dragon scale. If your majesty finds this person, please send it to Huiri, Yangzhou." Dojo."

Yang Guangsu came to pay respect to the Buddha, so he nodded and said, "Master, please."

Ji Zang clasped his hands together, turned and left.

As soon as Ji Zang left, several people were surprised. You look at me, I look at you. Yang Guang no longer mentioned the boy from last night, and said in a deep voice: "How is the battle in Guanzhong?"

"General Wei Xuan has rushed to fight." Li Yuan said: "Your Majesty must enter the pass as soon as possible. If Yang Xuangan guards Yuguan, it will be difficult for our army to continue."

Yang Guangdao: "Get the map of the pass, Wei Yunqi, tell the whole army to pull out the camp and set off as soon as possible."

On that day, Yang Guang and the generals planned for a full day, and did not break out of the camp until evening, and hurriedly marched back to Luoyang. Before leaving, they suddenly remembered the young man and asked the nurse, "Where is Lu Zhongming?"

Yang Guang has a superb memory since he was a child, and he never forgets the people he has seen and the names he has heard. Lai Huer thought for a long time before he remembered the imprisoned boy, and asked his subordinates again, and his subordinates replied: "Your Majesty, that man Haven't eaten yet, caught cold, developed a high fever, kept calling daddy in prison, nothing else to say."

There was a fire in Yang Guang's backyard, and he didn't care much about the young man. If it was really auspicious as everyone said, he would not die of illness for a while, and it would not be auspicious if he died of illness.Then he replied: "Take him up, take him back along the road, and send him back to Daxing after entering the customs. Find a place to lock him up. Don't let him out without my order."

The subordinates took orders and went to pull Lu Zhongming out of the prison and threw him into the prison car.

Before starting the road that day, another group of people arrived at the barracks.

"Inquire about something, brother." The leader stuffed a piece of broken silver into the soldier's hand, and the soldier immediately understood, "Where did it come from? It doesn't look like it's here."

"Daxing, we are stationed in the city defense." The man said, "The younger one is called Zhang Hu, and he is in charge of Master Li."

"Master Li?" The soldier said, "I haven't heard of it."

Zhang Hu apologized and said with a smile: "It's Lord Li from Xifang. Master Jingangzhi of Daxingshan Temple asked my lord, and the lord sent brothers over to find a child from the north. The brothers ran on the road for half a month, but they didn't see each other. to this person."

"People from the north?" The soldier asked inexplicably, "What does he look like? What's his last name?"

Zhang Hu said awkwardly: "I don't know, but I know the surname is Lu. Has anyone come to the camp recently?"

"There are people every day." The soldier said, "Even monks are here, but only one came today."

Zhang Hu pondered for a moment, then someone came over and shouted, "What are you doing! Withdraw the troops! Let's go! You? Which team are you in! Go back to your post!"

When Zhang Hu first arrived, he got in with his suit of Sui soldiers' armor, so naturally he couldn't discuss with them in detail at this moment, so he had to call four of his subordinates aside to discuss.However, when the army marched out, there was chaos, and Zhang Hu was helpless, so he had to go on the road again with a few of his men, heading further north.

This group happened to pass by Lu Zhongming's prison car. Zhang Hu glanced at Lu Zhongming in the prison car with a puzzled face, but his subordinates moved Zhang Hu, signaling him not to worry too much.Zhang Hu had no choice but to set off.

Lu Zhongming was in a daze and didn't hear their conversation at all. Poor Lu Zhongming lived in a prosperous life for 16 years. How could he have been tortured like this?First, he was sealed by the Buddha's palm in the Xuanmen, and when he came down, he lost most of his memory, and was splashed with cold water in the prison. It was cold spring and there were no soldiers to take care of him.As soon as the north wind blew, two tubes of nasal mucus, and immediately developed a high fever.

In the prison car, Lu Zhongming had a hot forehead, talking nonsense, and kept calling daddy in his dreams. A group of soldiers teased him out of boredom, poked him on the head to make him call daddy, and laughed at him as a fool.

"Hey!" As soon as he rode over, the captain shouted loudly: "Watch out, don't let him die! It's hard to explain to the superiors later!"

The soldiers said a few perfunctory words, someone found a pair of quilts and threw them in, and asked Lu Zhongming to roll them up. Lu Zhongming was so embarrassed that he shrank in the prison, sometimes comatose, sometimes awake, and was tortured.Not long after, the army set out on the road, and rushed to the Central Plains with the anger of Emperor Sui Yang to deal with the traitor Yang Xuangan. Lu Zhongming was shivering in the wind, and there was light snow along the way. In troubled times, human life is not as good as grass. The ground was full of hunger, and no one cared about the life and death of this young man. It's really pitiful. I want to know what will happen next, and I will discuss it in the next chapter.
