The devil is coming

Chapter 890
In other parts of the Yan Kingdom, both the officials, gentry, soldiers and civilians were "exhausted" from having just dealt with a battle, lying on the ground, gasping for breath in excitement at the excitement that had broken the entire country;
And in eastern Shanxi,
It can be said that the officials, gentry, soldiers and people here have been holding their breath until now;
Especially after learning about the glorious results of his prince's battle, his heart felt even more sour;
It is different from the previous celebrations that the prince and his subordinates celebrated after a great victory.
When the news of this great victory spread to eastern Shanxi, especially to Fengxin City, the people followed the past practice of drinking wine, cutting meat, and having a good meal;
Then, while eating and drinking, his eyes began to turn red, and the dinner table exuded an extremely strong aura of resentment.
Ordinary people are lamenting why they didn't get the chance. After this great victory, the civilians in the rear will be able to get as many rewards as they can. If they go as auxiliary soldiers, they may be able to earn even as a standard household.
As for the bidder, he was even more heartbroken. He didn't dare to scold him openly or say anything disrespectful. However, with a sip of wine and tears flowing down his face, the big man complained at the top of his voice:
"We just don't understand why the prince would rather lead 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 exists because of the prince.
But it is precisely this depth of love and respect that
The prince's behavior of petting other dogs is even more difficult to accept from the bottom of his heart!
in short,
I'm just jealous.
And he's very jealous,
The entire Fengxin City felt like it was soaked in a big vinegar vat. You didn’t even need to use a saucer to eat dumplings.
During those nights, Qu Peiluo, who was in charge of internal and external affairs of the city, arrested many drunk and illegal people;
There is no curfew in Fengxin City. This is a city with extremely developed commerce and operates day and night.
But this does not mean that you can go unpunished if you get drunk at night, shout loudly, or smash the walls or doors and windows of other people's houses on the street for no reason.
Many people were arrested in the prison;
After sobering up, these people huddled together in the cell before they even had time to realize that they had committed a crime.
Some shouted how I fought for the prince in the snow customs;
Some shouted, "Back in Chu, how did I block the Chu army for the prince?"
Some cried, how I was in Cuiliu Castle...
"……"jailer.
When the jailer heard this, he immediately woke up and slipped the man out of the public cell and transferred him to a single cell.
Then I took a look at my boss who was disabled due to an arm injury and had to retire from the army and became a prison boss here, and I found out that he was indeed a general!
Straight bitch,
In line with this jealousy, no distinction was made between superior and inferior, even Lord Shenjiang drank too much horse urine and went out to make himself muddy at night.
However, the jailers did not panic, nor did they apologize. There were many demobilized jailers in Fengxin City Prison, and these were basically registered households.
Having the identity of a bidder means that there is a bidder above, and one can go up one level at a time, and can be pushed to a very high position. In short, there is a real person above.
Moreover, the registered households have their own special yamen. If they commit a crime or are wronged, there is a place where they can directly lodge a complaint.
The general is indeed a high-ranking official, but if you want to bully others, you can always find someone higher than the general to administer justice.
Furthermore,
The person who ordered the arrests to clear the streets was General Qu.
Who is General Qu?
His relationship with the prince was extremely deep. Who would he be afraid of?
This saying, if you think about it carefully, always gives people a strange feeling, but in essence, it is rough and not rough.
but,
At this time, General Qu really had no time to care about how many big fish he caught last night and put them in the cell;
because,
The princess is about to give birth.
When the princess was first confirmed to be pregnant, several gentlemen in the palace calculated the due date, and the approximate date was already set.
It’s no secret;
In the early morning, all the royal guards who had been taking a bath today or were free from their shifts were summoned to the palace to take up their duties, which meant that there should be something going on in the princess's stomach.
Qu Peiluo paced back and forth in the custody room.
He himself felt a little baffled. Why was he so worried? Why was he so anxious and worried about gains and losses?
How deep is his relationship with the princess?
Before he got married, they actually only met him twice;
After her marriage, they only met twice;
This woman once almost brought him supreme glory, and also brought him the greatest humiliation as a man in the world. Later, she became 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 cannot be sorted out and become chaotic have long been attached to layers of fetters, and factors that cannot be sorted out will remain chaotic, even if it is only one-sided.
Anyway,
Qu Peiluo is really worried about the princess now.
There is no personal emotion, I just hope she can give birth safely.
stop
Qu Peiluo sighed,
murmured:
"Be safe."
……
At this time, the Pingxi Prince's Mansion was on high alert.
But in the inner courtyard, it was a different scene.
"bump!"
Siniang placed her left hand on her swollen belly and played mahjong with her right hand skillfully;
Sitting at the table were Liu Ruqing, Hakka and the blind man's daughter-in-law Yuexin.
"Be quick and play your cards."
Siniang urged.
Liu Ruqing and the other three women could only continue to fight with him.
"Hey, hey, this is money, be careful."
Siniang reminded.
The princess standing behind Siniang, holding her big belly with one hand and supporting her waist with the other, also urged:
"Oh, please hurry up, don't keep your sister waiting."
The three girls, Liu Ruqing, Keshi and Yuexin, all subconsciously looked up at the princess, then lowered their heads and accelerated the speed of playing cards.
"Bullshit!"
Siniang pushed the cards.
"My sister is really good at playing cards. I used to not notice it when I played with her, but now I am standing behind her. It is really eye-opening for my sister."
"In the past, when you played cards, you only had three cents of your mind to play, and that was all. You didn't get any money anyway, so you just played around. But now you can't do that anymore. Nine cents of your mind has to fall on your stomach, but there's nothing wrong with it. Are you willing to give in again?"
"hey-hey."
Xiong Liqing gently touched Siniang's arm with her belly: "Sister is the best."
"It's good, you have such a weird quirk. You have a big belly and you're about to give birth, but you can't eat well or sleep well all of a sudden. You have to listen to the sound of playing cards to feel comfortable.
It is true that our family has a great business;
It is true that our prince has a good temper;
The prince doesn't have any particular expectations for his son to become a dragon, but if he really wants to give birth to a gambler, wouldn't it be too shameful? "
"That's a good thing, isn't it? With such a big family and such a big family business, there will always be a few playboys and so on. Otherwise, won't my brothers and sisters have a very hard life in the future?"
The brothers and sisters here refer to the children.
Even though she was about to give birth and the first child of Prince Pingxi was about to be born, Xiong Liqing still did not dare to say goodbye to her fourth mother;
You can't compete for others' favor, and you can't outsmart others with your tricks. People have always treated you politely. If you don't know what to do, you'd be really stupid.
In the past, the princess had thought that the mother was more valuable than the son, and she did 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. After pregnancy, the feeling of mother and child being connected as one made her understand early on how to be a child. The true meaning of motherhood.
The fundamental reason is that although the man in his family is now a veritable "Emperor of the Earth" and is much more powerful than the heads of those small countries, the atmosphere in the family house has always been very harmonious.
Unlike the deep palace, which is cold and cold with a hint of cannibalism;
Since you won't be forced to take that step, who wouldn't want to simply have a peaceful time?
"Just in time, when Princess Fu arrives, she can take care of your child, so we don't have to hire a confinement nanny." Siniang said with a smile.
Xiong Liqing said angrily: "Your Majesty, it's true. My sister didn't know what being chic and romantic was before, but now she really understands that not only does she have to fight beautifully, she also has to keep a beauty in her arms.
In the past, when I was in the palace, I often watched those big plays or TV books. I always felt that the stories in them were too unrealistic. But when I opened my eyes and looked at our prince, his life was simply better than the characters in the TV books. My son has updated his notebook. "
"Do you still need to look at others? Do you even need to talk about now? You don't even have to look at how you got here, haha."
Si Niang joked without hesitation.
"Oh, sister you!"
Xiong Liqing blushed and gently pushed Siniang's arm.
I'm afraid even if we look at the 500-year history books, we won't be able to count the second example of a princess being kidnapped and then building a great cause.
Si Niang said with emotion: "I heard that Princess Fu was tamed by our family a long time ago. We had contact with her when we first attacked Qian. I was also there at that time. This time, It can be said that the master went up to revisit the old relationship and scored twice.
If it doesn't explode, it's boring to train.
I am still looking forward to it and don’t know when the princess will come to our palace. "
In fact, the female relatives here have always had an illusion;
The women in the palace were not so much recruited by the prince as they were recruited by Sister Feng who wanted to take them in the name of the prince.
Liu Ruqing said with a smile: "Sister, I am relieved that the prince has made a triumphant return this time. I was really worried to death when I heard the rumors about the war over there earlier."
"Isn't there a saying that regrets teaching a husband to look for a title? This one in our family is already a prince. As women, we regret that it's too late." Xiong Liqing smiled and picked up a cup of red date tea and took a few sips.
Yuexin said at this time: "I don't know if the prince can come back in time."
Keshi echoed: "I'm afraid the prince is hurrying in a hurry."
The princess waved her hands and said: "Whether the man comes back, the child will have to be born. The last assassination must have been such a big risk, isn't it just because of the next door..."
The princess paused and said, "My lord, please be calm and return home safely."
"Okay, drink less of this tea to replenish qi and blood now. Don't wait until the ginseng soup won't work when you are really about to give birth. In addition, go lie down and sleep for a while to replenish your energy."
Si Niang ordered.
"Okay, sister."
Xiong Liqing lay back down obediently.
"Sister, keep fighting."
Xiong Liqing urged with a narrowed smile.
Si Niang couldn't help but have a headache. She still had a lot of things to do there, such as bonds, treasures, and coins. The men were out fighting a few days ago. She was bored with her big belly, so she started to put her previous ideas into preliminary practice. , this has just begun, when things are busy, I still have to stay here to play mahjong for her and listen to the sound;
But there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, he was the one who "married" her into the family, so he must take some responsibility.
"Come on, shuffle the cards."
……
The incense in Calabash Temple has been very strong since the temple was built.
In the wars of the past few years, the barbarians came and the Chu people came, and the Yan people invaded and defeated them. Even the famous temples and ancient temples were blown away by the rain and the wind early on.
After that, regardless of whether it was the Earl's Mansion at the beginning, the Marquis' Mansion later, or the current Prince's Mansion, in the east of Shanxi, anyone from outside the country, no matter which family or sect, was invited to be trained once discovered. , and then sent to the snowy plains to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people in the snowy plains;
Favoring one thing over another, the only place people can find sustenance in this area in Fengxin City is this Gourd Temple. It is the only one there, there is no semicolon, and there is no competition. It is difficult for the incense not to flourish.
It's the same today.
just,
The people who came to burn incense today did not see the crazy monk and the charming little monk.
And today, the incense pavilion in the innermost part of the Calabash Temple, where the longevity tablet of Prince Pingxi is enshrined, has also been closed and is said to be under repair.
in fact,
There are people inside.
A Taoist priest wearing dirty Taoist robes was standing in front of the longevity tablet. On top of the tablet was the statue of the prince, sitting on the back of Pixiu, with his feet on the auspicious clouds, looking very heroic;
The statue was carefully carved by skilled craftsmen. This kind of treatment can make those "Gods and Buddhas" in the temple cry with envy.
Under the tablet is a merit tablet, which records Prince Pingxi's life achievements.
The latest thing to be carved is the record after joining Qian, but it is not finished yet.
The Taoist priest looked at it and smiled.
road;
"This card has been erected, this statue has been sculpted, and this tablet has been engraved, but it is clear that this person is not dead yet."
Behind the Taoist priest, the young monk Liao Fan heard this and said,
Road:
"Does a dead person have to be the person to erect a plaque, a statue or a monument?"
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Otherwise, you have to know that the coffin can only be closed before the final conclusion can be made. Sometimes, even a hundred years after death, you have to worry about the verdict being overturned, and your reputation will be ruined."
Little monk Liaofan clasped his hands together.
road;
"Fellow Taoist, this is a Buddhist temple."
“What about Buddhist temples?”
"What a Buddhist temple is built on is a Buddha."
"Hahahaha, this flattery really makes my teeth ache. Are you going to hurriedly make a Buddha for him while he is still alive?"
Little monk Liaofan was not ashamed,
Instead he said solemnly:
"There is already a human Buddha in this world."
"Human Buddha?"
"Five years ago, this place was still a piece of white land. The land was wiped out by soldiers and no hair was growing on it. Now, the land of Eastern Jin Dynasty has regained its vitality.
This is a great merit.
Why can’t a person with great merit and virtue become a Buddha?
The dead are already dead;
If a person dies and becomes a Buddha, what good will it do to the living person?
When a person is alive, let him become a Buddha. He will have the method of compassion in his heart, which can restrain his body and benefit all people. "
The Taoist priest nodded thoughtfully,
Road:
"This principle sounds novel, but it is indeed interesting. Only bald donkeys like you can understand such a flexible method. You deserve to be able to enjoy it;
One has a fat head and big ears, and the other has a pink head covering his face!
Taoist priests come down from the mountains in troubled times, and monks gather wealth in prosperous times;
This statement,
It's true. "
Young monk Liao Fan said, "Since we have become a monk, we are still divided between you and me. Will this family be a monk or not?"
"I have no intention of fighting with a little monk like you. I only came down the mountain for one thing."
"Which country are you from, fellow Taoist?" asked the young monk Liao Fan.
"Haha, you've already said it. Now that you've become a monk, do you still know which country you belong to? Does a Buddha have a country?"
on the side,
tilted his head,
The crazy old monk with a chin on his lips said:
"Buddha has no country, believers do."
The Taoist priest was speechless for a moment, so he could only curse: "Really, I can tell you everything before and after!"
immediately,
The Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something again,
Road:
"Are you from Yan people? It seems not."
The old monk Kongyuan pointed at his feet,
Road:
"This is country, here is home."
"it is good."
The Taoist priest took a deep breath,
With a wave of his sleeves,
Immediately, streaks of light emitted like morning glow.
People who practice in this world are either like Hou Shan, who pursue the secrets of heaven; or they are like the great master of Yan State who is also today's Eunuch Wei, who pays attention to practical results;
But the Taoist's actions show that he is not cultivating the type of Qi Refiner, nor is he practicing the sect of the Grand Master in the Palace. What he is following is the most primitive Taoist path, a very difficult path to follow.
"I'm just passing by, come and take a look." As he said that, a smile appeared on the corner of the Taoist's mouth, "The secrets of heaven are empty, but there is always a certain destiny between heaven and earth in life; but unfortunately, I realized that today there will be something If the spirit comes out, if the spirit comes out for no reason, it must be ominous!”
The old monk Kongyuan sighed,
Road:
"You should ask his father, because there is a head, just like a debt has an owner."
Little monk Liao Fan interrupted at this time: "The prince will return soon, you can talk to him about the cause and effect."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!"
The Taoist priest laughed boldly,
After laughing,
He said:
"I can not."
"..." Liao Fan.
"Five years ago, when I was about to leave the quarantine, I had a chat with Senior Master Zang to figure out the secrets of heaven. Unfortunately, I didn't know until I got out of the quarantine that his troops had been disbanded;
In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat again, thinking that when the apprentice who had hidden the Master had grown a little longer, maybe he would be able to chat with him again;
But who knew that as soon as he came out of seclusion, Li Xundao would actually go down the mountain.
You said,
Are the master and disciples stupid or not?
If you become a monk and look back, will you be able to reap the good fruits of your return? "
The old monk Kongyuan said, "After all, I came here for the back mountain."
"I just came to see."
The old monk Kongyuan put his hands together and said, "Fellow Taoist, please think again."
"Why, are you determined to plead for your master's unborn child?"
"No, it's because of what you said."
Old monk Kong Yuan limped to the door of the pavilion.
reach out,
Opened the door,
Road:
"There is home outside the door, do you want to look back too?"
"In the eyes of poor Taoists, this is not a door, but a tribulation, one of the Tao."
The old monk nodded and said, "That poor monk will see my fellow Taoist on his way."
"Really?"
"real."
"Well."
The Taoist priest went out first, and the old monk limped behind.
A group of monks and a group of monks walked out from the innermost part of the Calabash Temple. When they reached the outermost incense burner courtyard, many pilgrims saw this group of monks and a group of monks and cast curious glances.
The Taoist priest glanced at these pilgrims and said,
He whispered disdainfully: "The world is ignorant."
The old monk agreed: "Yes."
immediately,
The old monk pointed at the Taoist priest,
He shouted to the crowd around him:
"He is the assassin who wants to kill the prince, kill him!"
