The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 196
From the moment she was caught, even with a sword across her neck, she never cried, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "You, have you met my brother?"

Zhao Dongting was noncommittal, "Your real name should be Yue Yue, and your brother's name is Yue Yang, right?"

The water in Yue Yue's eyes finally flowed out, with longing, "Where is my brother? Where is my brother?"

But she is really Yue Peng's biological sister.

Zhao Dongting looked at Yue Yue who was pear blossoms and raining, and at this moment, the killing intent in his heart was gone.Knowing her identity, he can't kill her no matter what.

Yue Yang was Yue Peng's name before joining the army.

Instead of looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Yue Peng has made countless contributions to the court, and it is impossible for Zhao Dongting to kill his own sister.

Zhao Dongting remembered that at that time, the imperial court had just moved from Quzhou to Haikang County. After the emperor and ministers celebrated each other, he had a night talk with Yue Peng.

Yue Peng is his confidant who was handpicked up by him. The two are monarchs and ministers, and they are also friends.

Sitting on the roof that night, Yue Peng and Zhao Dongting talked about his family.

It's good that his family is a descendant of Yue Fei, but after more than a hundred years, branches and leaves have spread, and they have been displaced.Their family can only be regarded as a collateral branch of the collateral lineage, and has no connection with the Yue family's direct lineage. They live outside Lin'an City, their father is only the militia instructor in the village, and their mother is also a villager.The only ones who can be related to the Yue family are the surname Yue and the family's Yue family spear.

Originally, the family of four had a happy life, but after the war broke out and the mountains and rivers were broken, Yue Peng joined the army according to his father's order.

And his father fled to another country with his mother and younger sister.

This jade pendant is the proof of their recognition.Because Yue Peng was only in his teens at that time, and no one knew how many years it would take before we could meet again.

Zhao Dongting suddenly remembered what Yue Yue said before, and sighed softly, "Has something happened to your parents?"

Yue Yue said that she watched her relatives starve to death one by one.

Hearing this, Yue Yue's originally sad and hopeful expression showed hatred again, "They starved to death because of the war."

But she wasn't hysterical after all.

Zhao Dongting's words also touched her heart.

Should the guilt of the previous emperors really be borne by this little emperor who is only in his teens?
"Ugh……"

At this moment, Zhao Dongting's hatred for Yue Yue was gone.He suddenly understood why Yue Yue hated herself so much, not only because of money, but also because of family feud.

He couldn't help thinking, if his family suffered catastrophe because of the corruption of the imperial court, would they also hate the imperial court?

There was silence in the chariot.

Ying'er has a weak temper, and when Yue Yue said that her parents died of hunger, her eyes turned slightly red.

She didn't know whether her parents and relatives were still alive at this time, and were they still alive?

After a while, Yue Yue asked again: "Where did you meet my brother?"

Zhao Dongting personally untied the chains that bound Yue Yue, and said: "Your brother changed his name to Yue Peng when he joined the army, and now he is my general Yunhui, commanding the guards under my command. You assassinated him in Lipu County. When I was here, your elder brother was also in the army, but unfortunately, you did not meet him."

"General Yunhui?"

Yue Yue's complexion became extremely complicated, "Brother, how can he be the eagle dog of the imperial court?"

Zhao Dongting didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You have to ask him yourself. Your father ordered him to join the army."

Yue Yue looked at Zhao Dongting, "Aren't you going to kill me?"

Zhao Dongting said: "If you weren't Yue Peng's younger sister, I would kill you. Go and find your brother. If you dare to assassinate me again, I will kill you!"

Yue Yue looked deeply at Zhao Dongting, turned around and walked out of the chariot.

Zhao Dongting shouted to the outside of the chariot, "Let her go!"

Le Wuwei sighed softly, "I never thought she would be General Yue's own sister."

"yes……"

Zhao Dongting was also emotional.

Who would have thought that there are two brothers and sisters, the elder brother becomes a pillar of the imperial court and serves the country, while the younger sister becomes a killer, constantly assassinating the emperor.

It was a trick of fate.

More than ten years is enough to change a person's personality and destiny drastically.

Yue Yue just left.

Probably, there will be fewer Li Ge in the world in the future.But the huge rivers and lakes obviously won't cause any waves because of this.

Zhao Dongting's chariot came to the archway where he had received immeasurable merit.

In front is the staircase up the mountain, which is quite narrow, and the chariot must not be able to go up.

Zhao Da reported to Zhao Dongting, and Zhao Dongting took Ying Er and Concubine Yang Shu out of the chariot.Zhao Bing followed quietly.

His biological mother was not Concubine Yang Shu, but Yu Xiurong, who was also the concubine of Song Duzong Zhao Yu, but when Lin'an fell, she had disappeared.

Later, civil servants and military generals got off their sedan chairs and horses one after another.

The Taoist priests of Wuliang Temple in front stood under the archway and lined up in two rows, waiting for Zhao Dongting to climb the mountain to enter Wuliang Temple.

Zhao Dongting raised his eyes and looked at the four big characters of infinite merit, but he didn't move.

Until Liu Hongyi hurried forward, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Hongyi said: "I have arranged people to wait around the county seat. No nobles have left the city yet."

Zhao Dongting nodded thoughtfully, "They should still be lucky!"

A cold light flashed across Liu Hongyi's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, shall we do it?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "No hurry, no hurry. They won't be able to run away anyway, let's talk about it after I sacrifice to heaven and earth first."

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and walked towards the stairs behind the archway.

Behind the group of officials, Wu Dingtang priests, eunuchs and maids, and all the flying dragon soldiers followed in a mighty manner.

There are thousands of people going up the mountain.

The banners are unfurled, the swords stand everywhere, and the majesty of the royal family is fully displayed.

The Taoist priests of Wuliangguan followed behind and went up the mountain until all the imperial court troops climbed the stone steps.

It was already bright, but on the road from Haikang to Wuliangguan, the Huanglong imperial army never withdrew.

Zhao Dongting walked up the mountain step by step, silently counting the steps.This is not a whim, but a habit he has developed in his previous life.He is used to thinking about something all the time in his mind, otherwise he would feel very empty.

When you reach the mountainside and look down, you can see the mountains stretching, and you can still see the outline of Haikang County.

The mountain where Wuliang Temple is located is towering, with magnificent vegetation, which hides wind and absorbs energy, but it is undoubtedly a geomantic treasure.People in this era believe in this very much. Except for the county government that sits in the Haikang area, in terms of feng shui, there are few good places inside and outside Haikang County that can compare with this Wuliang Mountain.Of course, the name of Wuliang Mountain was only changed when the incense of Wuliang Temple became more and more popular. It was not called this name before.

Eight thousand eight hundred and six.

When Zhao Dongting counted this number of steps, there was only a short distance left before the main entrance of Wuliang Temple.I am afraid that the ladder of Wuliang Temple is exactly 880 steps.There is no need for nine, because nine is an extreme number, and it can only be used exclusively by the emperor, and no one else or any force can exceed it.

In Lin'an City, there are magnificent buildings with dragons and nine corners.

In addition to the quantity, there are also many regulations on the decoration and color of the building.Such as yellow, it is exclusive to the emperor.

Wuliang Temple is a Taoist temple, and when you look around, it is mostly black tiles.Only a few halls are covered with blue glazed tiles.

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate."

At the top of the steps, on the edge of the Qianping paved with bluestone, dozens of Taoist priests stood singing in unison.

At the head are more than a dozen older Taoist priests wearing yellow Taoist robes, Wuyuanzi and Wuxuzi are also among them, but they are not in the right position.

It seems that the five real people of Wuliangguan have all arrived.

Zhao Dongting walked up the steps to the top, exactly 880 steps.

Wuyuanzi and other five people came forward and bowed to salute. The Taoist priest with beard and chest in the middle said: "I have seen the emperor."

Zhao Dongting stretched out his hand and raised it falsely, "You real people don't need to be too polite."

Wuwangzi is the master of the Infinite Contemplation. Although he has long since stopped manipulating things within the Infinite Contemplation, he is still the head of the Infinite Contemplation, and his practice is the most profound.

He ranks third among the five real brothers of Wuliangguan, but his talent is the best.

Zhao Dongting looked at him and saw that his complexion was rosy, and his face was full of compassion, which really seemed to be a bit of an expert.Although compared with a celestial master like Yuan Zhenzi, I always feel that it is a little less tasteful, but I think it is already very good.

Later, the civil servants and military generals came up, and they also met with Wu Wangzi and others.

All the Taoist priests went to the Wuliang temple to meet Zhao Dongting and others.

Pass through the main gate and go to the front hall, where the four heavenly kings are enshrined, all in the state of glaring Vajra.

Zhao Dongting and others passed through, walked along the bluestone path for more than ten minutes, passed through several temples and dragon pillars, and finally arrived at the Temple of Prayer for Heaven in Wuliang Temple.

Along the way, Wu Wangzi and the others just walked quickly without speaking.

There was an auspicious time for offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Zhao Dongting and the others spent a lot of time on the road, so at this time it was urgent.

The altar of praying for heaven was covered with blue Taoist flags, and all the Taoist priests who practiced praying for blessings sat on the ground in the shape of eight trigrams, and nearly a hundred people were afraid.In the middle is an incense burner as high as two people, in which three sticks of incense as thick as a baby's arm are inserted, and the light smoke curls up.

Wuwangzi looked up at the sky, heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said: "The auspicious time is coming, please the emperor to ascend the altar."
