[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian put down the file, glanced at Qian Ying indifferently, did not ask him what happened, but said in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with Lingnan?"

Qian Yingsu knew Lin Jian's ingenious plan, and Lin Jian guessed his matter before he said it. Qian Ying was not surprised, and immediately nodded and said, "It's something in Lingnan."

"Rushi taught large-scale massacres in various prefectures, counties and townships in the south of the Five Ridges, intercepting and killing monks from all directions. Master Zhaowen has lost contact with our people, and his whereabouts are unknown."

Lin Jian tightened his brows, got up and walked to Qian Ying, staring into his eyes and said, "It will take at least five days for the news to reach the capital, that is to say, it has been four days since the Lingnan accident happened, and it is said that Master has been missing for at least five days." It's been four days."

"That's right."

Qian Yingdao, "Our news is a little faster than the imperial court, but not too fast. Things like this have a huge impact, and the local prefect should rush the news to the capital by eight hundred miles, about one or two After hours, the palace should get the news."

Lin Jian asked Qian Ying for the return message and read it carefully.

The news from Lingnan was no different from what Qian Ying said.

The Rushi Sect, who had been silent for several years, was causing chaos in Lingnan. This time, it seemed to be an action that had been accumulated for a long time. The situation is even more chaotic.

Even now that the government is still under control, there are still some casualties.

Lin Jian burned the paper full of words on the candle next to him: "Second brother is always fast in his hands and feet, and there will be no delay if something like this happens. After an hour or so, the Holy Majesty will know what happened in Lingnan .”

After the truth about Lin Hong's leg injury came to light, the lieutenants around Lin Hong, who had been assassinated by Shui Chen and relegated after struggling for a year in the pursuit of Jianghu killers, were properly settled after that. Many lieutenants who lost their traces are also slowly being found.

It's just that many years have passed, and they have all been hurt more or less because of the old events back then, and it is impossible for them to return to the army to lead soldiers because of their age.But these people have been away for many years. When they followed Lin Hong to lead troops to fight in Lingnan, their roots are still in Lingnan.

The relatives in the family were placed elsewhere, but now that the matter has settled, they are still willing to return to Lingnan to live and live, and they are no longer willing to wander outside.

In fact, apart from such lieutenants, there were also some lieutenants who had been relegated to guard the border. After seeing their actual performance assessed by the Ministry of War, Emperor Chengsheng transferred them all back to Lingnan one by one.

Under the current situation, Lin Liang is the magistrate in Lingnan. Although Shen Qiao is the general of Lingnan, it is safest to arrange all these lieutenants in Lingnan for the whole Great Zhou. Lin Hong really can't rest assured in other places.

Now the lieutenants are all picking up their relatives before going to Lingnan, so they are all on the way, and Zhaowen here, because he has not yet returned to the vulgar, but he has a lot of experience in leading troops, so Emperor Chengsheng will give them as appropriate. He arranged a job as a non-staff consultant in the army, and he heard that the family members were arranged by Lin Jian's people.

According to the news, he went to Lingnan first, and his family members were sent to Lingnan by Lin Jian.Zhaowen's family members had not arrived in Lingnan at this time, and Zhaowen arrived first, just in time for the incident, so Zhaowen followed suit.

Qian Yingdao: "If the teaching has been silent for many years, there have been only minor riots in various places in Dazhou in these years, and they were quickly suppressed. It happened that such a large-scale riot broke out at this time. The timing is too coincidental. Will there be any problem?"

Qian Ying felt that what he taught this time was aimed at Mrs. Lin.And intercepting and killing monks is just a deception.

Why do you say that this teaching is aimed at Mrs. Lin?

This story begins a few years ago when Lin Hong was the Lingnan General commanding the Lingnan Army.

The Xiao family seized the world from the royal family of the previous dynasty a hundred years ago. Naturally, the royal family of the previous dynasty was not reconciled, and it was inevitable that there would be a struggle to resist.But in the end, the Xiao family was able to secure their position.

Some of the royal family of the former dynasty were willing to live in hiding, some were suppressed and lost their lives during the snatching and resistance, and some chose to hide their strengths and bide their time.

Such a group of people secretly established the Rushijiao organization, using the guise of the Buddhist Association to secretly accumulate strength and wait for an opportunity to rebel.

This ambush, this teaching has been ambush from the time of the first emperor to the year of Chengsheng. During this period, there were three emperors, and it lasted for a hundred years.During this period, Rushijiao did not cause chaos. After all, there will always be chaos in some places after the founding of the country, but every time Rushijiao used to secretly stir up troubles, they would be suppressed in the end, and it was always difficult for them to get any benefits.

During Chengsheng's reign, Emperor Chengsheng made up his mind to take over Lingnan and Anhui, two places where people from the Central Plains lived together and were most prone to trouble.If the religion was suppressed in other places and had no way out, they moved their base camp to Lingnan.

There are many mountains in the south of the Lingnan, and there are many different races, so it is easier to hide and make troubles than in the south of Anhui.

Lin Hong led troops in Lingnan for many years. In addition to conquering all parts of Lingnan, he also wanted to suppress the rebellion of the Rushi sect.

It was Lin Hong who led his troops to severely damage the Rushi Sect a year before the leg injury accident, almost causing the Rushi Sect to collapse and disappear. Made chaos in Lingnan.

But in the past ten years, Rushijiao has caused troubles in other places in Dazhou, but it has never caused any splashes.

This time, Rushijiao made a comeback in Lingnan, and at this time, they took Zhaowen away. In Qian Ying's view, this was clearly aimed at Lin Hong.It was a demonstration against Lin and a warning to Lin.

For nearly ten years, Ruo Ruo hid in a certain place to hide his power and bide his time, accumulate strength to do what they are best at, plan well in secret, and then choose a certain node to give Lin a hard blow, which can completely achieve their purpose of revenge and trouble .

What's more, Lin Liang is the second young master of the Lin family and the magistrate of Lingnan. If the payment is not done this time or the matter is not handled well, Lin Liang will also be punished.

Qian Ying even wondered, could there be more unknown forces driving their actions behind this teaching?After all, in the current situation, the Lin family has made many enemies. Is it possible that the previous incident offended a certain family, so this family secretly instigated the Rushi sect to make trouble?

Such actions are bold, but not impossible.

Qian Ying had deep doubts in her heart, but it was inappropriate to suspect that the dignitaries of the DPRK and China had colluded with the rebels. After all, there is no evidence to prove this, so Qian Ying could not say this, so she just thought about it in her heart. .

Although Qian Ying didn't say anything, Lin Jian only glanced at him, but he already had some calculations in his heart.

Lin Jian said in a low voice: "Mt. Wutai has always attracted monks from all over the world to participate in the lecture conferences over the years. Mount Wutai is a place of outstanding people. For Buddhists, it is a place with a long history. It used to be a prestigious place. Every year, Mount Wutai At least thousands of people attended the lecture conference."

"Since the Empress Dowager went to Wutai Mountain to serve the Buddha, in the past ten years, more than ten thousand monks have gone to Mount Wutai every year to participate in the seminars that the Empress Dowager will attend. This time, the Empress Dowager will hold a lecture in the capital. In addition to the monks from the various temples who will come, there will naturally be monks from all over the world who are interested in the event. This time, the number of people will definitely exceed that of the previous conference. According to preliminary estimates, at least 2 people will come to the capital."

Emperor Chengsheng has a decree, so that Lin Jian and King Duan will be fully responsible for the Queen Mother's handling of the lecture conference.

There are a lot of monks coming to the capital for this lecture conference, the conference is very large, it is a grand meeting, and the news has spread among the people, and there are many people who come here for the name. In order to avoid accidents during the conference, many Things have to be prepared in advance.

For the specific situation of this conference, no one knew better than Lin Jian.

"You also said that if the teachings don't move sooner or later, they will do such a thing at this time, intercept and kill the monks who left for the capital, and make Master Zhaowen disappear. Isn't this aimed at the empress dowager two months later? What about sabotaging the lecture conference?"

"Don't forget, the previous dynasty worshiped Buddha more than this dynasty. We all know how the teaching of the Buddha came to prosper and how it was respected by the royal family of the previous dynasty."

Lin Jian sneered, "Since the remnants of the previous dynasty used this gimmick to rebel, how could the queen mother use the Buddhist association as a cover to attract people's hearts?"

This is really, a dog bites a dog.

However, Lin Jian could see Qian Ying's doubts. There were always many speculations before things became clear. The enemy's enemy was a friend, and it might not be something they could do if they colluded together for the sake of profit and messed up the government.

Asking Lin Jian to say this, Qian Ying felt that the matter here became more and more complicated: "Master, what should we do?"

Lin Jian pondered and said: "If such a big thing happens, the government will definitely do something. After the Holy Majesty finds out, there will be an imperial decree to order Lingnan General to do everything possible to wipe it out. But our own people can't rely entirely on the government and the court. Send a letter to Lingnan as soon as possible, telling our people to be careful and careful, and to ensure their own safety. In addition, we need to count and see if anyone else has an accident. According to Master Wen, we must send someone to look for him The traces of the people must be found until the person is found."

"As for the matter of the family members going to Lingnan, I wrote to tell all parties to stop on the spot first, and our people must ensure the safety of everyone. If the church creates turmoil/chaos against the monks, it may not be that no one will fish in troubled waters Take the opportunity to do some shady things."

"What's more, send some people to the eldest brother and second brother to secretly protect their safety."

After Lin Jian instructed Qian Ying one by one, he raised his eyes to look at the night outside, tapped the table with his index finger twice: "This is not a trivial matter, the master should already know the news, right?"
