Monk Yuanzhi is a wandering monk.
All I have in my possessions is a string of beads, a bowl, and a little dried herbs.
I was so poor that I couldn't put my money in my sleeves, because my sleeves had two holes.
"The news of Fengxing Pavilion is not cheap. How much did the master spend?"
Mo Li looked at the old monk, and his doubts remained.
Speaking of the second master of Shimo Shanzhai, Yan Cen's identity is questionable.
Yan Cen was originally the second son of Emperor Qi Lu Zhang, and he was the same mother as the prince. Although none of these princes from the Qi Dynasty had a good life, they were afraid of comparison in everything. Compared with Yan Cen, who was starved to death by others, they were as sweet as squatting in a honey pot.
As soon as Yan Cen was born, he was almost killed by his father.
According to the prince, the then Mrs. Lu and later Empress Ning came from the Ning family in the northern Xinjiang. This is the residence of General Huai Yi that even Mo Li has heard of. He once guarded the border of the northern border, and made great achievements. Even when Qi and Chu were in turmoil, they still performed their duties faithfully and repulsed the army of the barbarians who went south to take advantage of the chaos.
One of the worst things that General Ning did in his life was to look away when he was looking for his son-in-law.
He married his daughter to a young talent in the northern Xinjiang army. As a result, this man was very ambitious. Taking advantage of the mutual suspicion between the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Dynasty, he used all means to eliminate dissidents. In the end, he took control of the military power and washed Taijing with blood, stealing the throne. home.
When Yan Cen was born, Lu Zhang was only a minister of the Chu Dynasty, but he was already in power. The loyal servants of the Ning family desperately snatched the baby and sent it to a temple in the border town for foster care. Years later, Prince Lu Yu checked the temple, but Yan Cen had already left.
Therefore, the monks in the temple knew about Yan Cen's life experience.
If they were unreliable, the Ning family would not easily entrust their children.
Even if they really don't know, the monks should have known when the former prince and the current Yongchen Emperor sent someone to look for him.
Emperor Yongchen thought that Yan Cen had left the temple and disappeared, but this was not the case. According to Shimo Shanzhai, Yuanzhi, a wandering monk, would go into the mountains every year to collect herbs and treat them with a headache. He was someone they respected very much. . It can be seen that the temple and the Ning family know Yan Cen's current situation very well, but they do not interfere much.
Just based on this, Mo Carp had a little good impression.
Think about the descendant of the Chu Dynasty royal family that I met in Qinghu Town, the child named Huzi, who doesn't understand anything, is no different from the doll of ordinary people in the countryside, but the last person to protect him still has the idea of restoring the country. . It is obviously a predicament of no money, no one, and precariousness. What are the big dreams of spring and autumn
Restoring the country is empty talk, and that loyalty is better to use it to think of ways to let the child live a peaceful life.
The people behind Yan Cen obviously did not have any unrealistic hopes for Yan Cen, otherwise they would not let him stay in Shimo Shanzhai, after all, it was a bandit village, which would be harmful to his reputation.
Yan Cen's martial arts are mainly on hidden weapons, which is related to his weak physique, and he can't learn anything else. Although he looks gloomy and does not like to talk, he is not full of ill-will, nor does he have any resistance to the monk Yuanzhi who found Shimoshan, and only hides the things he has known for a long time. Everyone in the Shimo Shanzhai believed that Master Yuanzhi was kind and kind. When Yan Cen was sick, the master even counted when the wandering monk could come to the village.
Mo Li would not have doubts about Yuan Zhi, but when the old monk came, he bluntly said the names of Shimoshan and Yan Cen, and even mentioned the matter of buying news from Fengxing Pavilion.
I am grateful to the doctor for saving my child. Would an ordinary person do this? Of course not, just because Meng Qi and the two met a group of guys who wanted to cut off the dragon's veins in Shimo Mountain, and the leader Sang Daochang actually knew Meng Qi and exposed Meng Qi's identity as the national teacher of the previous dynasty.
It is very likely that Yuan Zhi chased after Meng Qi after he bought the news and knew that Meng Qi was going in this direction.
What Mo Li is more concerned about is that this old monk has no long possessions, so what did he use to buy the news of Fengxing Pavilion
Could it be news for news, using Meng Qi's identity, and conflicting with the Jianghu people under King Wu's command in Shimo Mountain
Mo Li's eyebrows knitted together, and Monk Yuanzhi took a slack, and hurriedly lowered his eyes and recited the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, monks don't slander, the old man travels all over the place and sees a lot. He has dealt with Fengxing Pavilion in his early years. Money is something outside the body, even if the six senses are pure, they are still trapped. It is also common for news to go to Fengxing Pavilion to exchange some copper coins. This time, I owe Fengxing Pavilion too much debt.”
The ink carp was silent.
The old monk Yuanzhi smiled bitterly, and simply said bluntly: "The doctor's accompaniment has an unusual identity, and the old man won't say much."
Mo Li originally wanted to say that Meng Guoshi, who was with him, had already left, so that those who were interested in the former country teacher could be sent away, but the gerbil couldn't always lie in his arms and sleep, and the monk Yuanzhi followed the trend. The pavilion is so familiar that he will soon be able to know that someone was wearing a few taels of silver cloth and flaunted the market half a day ago, so Mo Li swallowed the words and changed his words: "Master wants to find Brother Meng?"
Monk Yuanzhi continued to nod with a wry smile.
Mo Li looked at him and said after a while, "Master is an outsider, and he doesn't ask for power, so why bother himself?"
Yuan Zhi sighed, put his palms together and said, "The doctor treats the sick and saves people, but Yu Yancen has nothing to ask for. Both the old man and the Ning family are very grateful. Originally, the old man should not have come, but the Qi court has changed..."
Although Meng Qi's identity as a former national teacher was scary, he did nothing when he went to Shimo Shanzhai. Strictly speaking, the revenge of the collapse of the Chu Dynasty could not be counted on Yan Cen's head. The fault of the Ning family was at most. It can be said that there was no flag erected on that day to openly oppose Emperor Qidi Lu Zhang.
After Lu Zhang ascended the throne, the Ning family did not follow suit.
Maybe the son-in-law became the emperor, and it was a big happy event in another family, but in the Qi Dynasty, the existence of General Huai Yi was very embarrassing. The Ning family did not receive a reward, and they only received a frivolous award for repelling the barbarians. Within a few years, because of the suspicion of Emperor Qi, they were transferred from the northern border to the southwest border guard, and the old clan was forcibly dismantled.
If it wasn't for General Ning's reputation and reputation among the people, if it wasn't for Lu Zhang's appearance of respecting ministers because of his face, the Ning family might have been imprisoned long ago.
The poor boy who took advantage of the Yue family's power to soar into the sky would not appreciate the help of the Yue family back then, but would find the Yue family unpleasant.
There are too many contradictions between Weng and his son-in-law.
In addition to the matter of Yan Cen, Queen Ning died in depression, and there was suspicion of the emperor's opponent's general who held military power.
"Actually, the Ning family has already made preparations for rebellion." The old monk Yuanzhi suddenly said something surprising.
Mo Li was stunned for a moment, then thought of Yan Cen, feeling that something was wrong and shook his head secretly.
"It's for self-protection, so I have to go against it." Monk Yuanzhi sighed, "If the prince dies, the Ning family will not be spared, and Emperor Qi will definitely attack the Ning family. For this reason, Lao Na's brothers and sisters have all left the temple and headed to Xuanchuan Pass."
Xuanchuan Pass is the southwestern frontier fortress where the Ning family is now stationed.
Mo Li's heart moved, and he vaguely felt something.
However, he was really unfamiliar with the struggle for power in the world, and he didn't grasp that idea.
- The fat rat in the doctor's arms fell into deep thought.
"It turns out that among the prince's so-called "can't die and dare not die," there is the Ning family."
As an outsider who has nothing to do with himself, Mo Li felt more and more that it was not easy for Prince Lu Ku to live.
"Therefore, the doctor not only saved Yan Cen, but actually saved the whole family of Ning's family. He stopped the army and stopped the flames, saved the people of the southwest, and gave the people of the world a chance to breathe. He is a genius doctor who hangs a pot to help the world."
Mo Li stepped sideways to avoid, not being bowed by monk Yuanzhi.
"Master's words are serious. I'm just treating illnesses and saving people and doing my best. Everything else is just a matter of fate, and I don't deserve this praise."
Yuan Zhi didn't know, Meng Qi heard Mo Li's heartbeat a little faster.
The gerbil would bet that the doctor's ear was a little red, and it quietly stuck its head out between the collars of the ink carp.
"However, since the Ning family can hide Qi Emperor Lu Zhang and raise Yan Cen, you all have a way to avoid Jin Yiwei. The master's martial arts are strong, and the master's brothers and sisters are not ordinary people, so the Ning family may not only rebel. There is a way to go, why…”
Mo Li was so happy that he lost his mind without being praised by monk Yuanzhi. He felt that the Ning family's treason was very strange.
Lu Zhang has been suppressed and weakened for many years, and the military power in the hands of the Ning family has become very small. It is definitely not the final decision of General Ning at Xuanchuan Pass. Lu Zhang will send equal civil servants and military generals to contain the Ning family. Can they successfully conquer the officers and soldiers of Xuanchuan Pass? It's all said, conspiracy is definitely the next best thing.
Yuan Zhi sighed lowly and said, "The doctor doesn't know anything. Three hundred kilometers away from Xuanchuan Pass is the territory of the God-given King."
King Tianzhu occupied the mountainous and miasmatic land in the southwest. Before the Chu Dynasty, it was a small country and tribe, and it was also the county of the Central Plains Dynasty for a thousand years. Later, it was divided due to the turmoil.
The Chu Dynasty spent decades re-governing and subduing the three counties in the southwest. When it was in the hands of the Qi Dynasty, the people's hearts were lost in a few years.
The rulers and ministers of the Qi Dynasty looked down on the three southwestern counties at all, and regarded them as tasteless. In addition, the miasma spread over the mountains and rivers, and it was difficult to conquer them. When the treasury bottomed out, they only stationed troops at the southwestern dangerous gates.
In recent years, the two sides have fought each other, but the scale is very small, and the court has no money.
Even if the generals of Qi have the will to make meritorious deeds to encircle and suppress the rebels, the lack of food, grass and weapons will not help.
"There is a change in the southwest. General Ning found out that the King of Heaven has been planning to seize Xuanchuan Pass. Once Jinyiwei is ordered to get rid of the Ning family, Xuanchuan Pass will be in chaos." Monk Yuanzhi said worriedly, "The King of Heaven's Grant is hiding in the city's spies and The people they bought took the opportunity to seize the pass, and there was no natural danger after Xuanchuan Pass, and the war immediately swept the Central Plains."
The ink carp sucked in a breath of cold air.
It turns out that in order to stop the God-given King, the Ning family secretly traced and eradicated the spies in the city. This was a game.
If Emperor Qi Lu Zhang stepped in and the Ning family was attacked, they could neither abandon their officials to save their lives and run away, nor could they kill them, only to rebel. In this way, everyone who opposes the Ning family and those who were sent by the imperial court to contain the Ning family can be locked up first, turning the darkness into the light, and using the power of thunder to remove the enemy troops lurking in the city.
If the Ning family wanted to defend Xuanchuan Pass, they had to bear the stigma first.
However, since the Ning family rebelled, Lu Zhang would definitely be furious, and even ordered someone to suppress the rebellion.
In the past, there was a king who was bestowed by heaven, and then there was the army of the Qi Dynasty.
Xuanchuan Pass is in danger, and the Ning family is in danger.
No wonder the monk Yuanzhi just said that Mo Li saved the prince, it was to stop the war and the flames, and to give the people of the world a chance to breathe.
No wonder monk Yuanzhi, who was so poor, did not hesitate to owe his debts to buy the news of Fengxing Pavilion. The situation in the southwest is in danger, and the Qi Dynasty directly caused a palace change. Inexplicably, he appeared in Taijing, and was involved in the palace change. Will Meng Qi, the former national teacher who was involved in the palace change, work for the three kings of the Chu Dynasty? What does he want to do? To be clear, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to sleep.
Meng Qi's martial arts have reached the peak again, so Yuan Zhi had to come and go.
"It turns out that there is such a reason, it's hard to be a master."
Mo Li bowed his hands and said with a wry smile: "Amitabha, I don't know if the doctor can introduce him, let Lao Na talk to Meng Guoshi."
