When Yan Wushi returned from the palace, Shen Qiao and Bianbian Meizheng were playing games with one son each, their faces were quite relaxed, and they were obviously already busy with business.
Seeing that Shen Qiao had changed all the costumes back, Yan Wushi felt regretful. He felt that Shen Qiao disguised as a woman was a rare beauty, but it's just a matter of thinking about it in his heart. Qiao with such a good temperament, it is estimated that he can't stand it.
Bianbianmei hurriedly put down the chess pieces, got up and bowed before him, with a happy expression on her face: "Congratulations to the return of the master! The old bald donkey in Xue Ting was slaughtered. Since then, Buddhism is afraid that it will not recover!"
Yan Wushi was still wearing the maid's costume. After tearing off the human skin mask, he revealed his true face. It looked a bit funny, but because of his amazing momentum, no one dared to laugh even in rags.
Hearing what Bianbianmei said, he said, "The old bald donkey is not dead."
Bian Mei was startled.
Yan Wushi smiled slightly: "It's a pity to die with such an identity, he has to use it to do something. Although he entered Buddhism, he is nostalgic for the red dust. If he is willing to know each other, why not leave him a dog's life? ?"
Bianyanmei didn't know what he wanted to do, but since Yan Wushi said this, he must have his own intentions, so he respectfully responded.
Yan Wushi asked, "Has Pu Liu Ruying been rescued?"
Bianyanmei: "Yes, the disciple has sent Pu Liuruying back to Duke Suiguo's mansion. Chen Gong is dead, and Murong Qin is seriously injured. He has also been detained and can be kept for some confessions."
Yan Wushi snorted, Zen Master Xue Ting was very skilled, even though he won this game, he still suffered some injuries after all.
He covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice. Bianbian Mei was about to say that he was going to find some medicine for wounds, when he saw a little bright red oozing out of Yan Wushi's fingers.
How serious is the injury? Bianbianmei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Master, you are fine, there are still some Qingxin pills in this mansion..."
Yan Wushi waved his hand and sat down on the edge where Mei was sitting just now.
Although he knew that the other party was acting in all likelihood, Shen Qiao couldn't help but said: "Sect Master Yan's injury is still serious, do you need a poor Taoist to take a look?"
As soon as the words fell, Yan Wushi stretched out his hand and placed it on the chessboard: "Then there is Taoist Master Lao Shen."
You are stretching too fast, as if you had expected this question from me! Shen Qiao secretly said, the three fingers of his right hand rested on the opponent's wrist.
"The internal breath is a little disordered. I think it is due to some internal injuries, but it is not a serious problem. It will be fine after a while." Even though he suffered some internal injuries, it was not serious enough to vomit blood. While talking, Qiao thought to himself.
Yan Wushi covered the back of Shen Qiao's hand with his backhand, tightened his grip again, and smiled slightly: "It's hard for Daoist Shen to treat you like this, but you can abandon your previous suspicions and accompany dangerous situations. Heart, can't help but be moved."
These hands are white, greasy and slender, and the touch is like a beautiful jade that has been played with for many years. Only the thin calluses at the tiger's mouth reveal the fact that the master has practiced swords for many years.
If someone else said these words, Shen Qiao might have to be polite, but he was already immune to Yan Wushi, and the other party was still wearing women's clothes.
Before he could draw his hand, the other party withdrew his hand first, as if he really just felt it.
Wearing an unsuitable women's clothing, let alone other people looking awkward, Yan Wushi himself was not very comfortable. The edge Mei had already ordered people to prepare hot clothes and asked Master to go to bathe and change.
The dignified Sect Master Huanyue was wearing a high-waisted ruffled skirt, which was annoying to others, but he was very comfortable himself. Shi Shiran got up, didn't forget to glance at the cup in front of Shen Qiao, and then asked Bianyanmei, "What's in the cup?"
"Honey water." Bianyanmei didn't know what the master was, and even this trivial matter had to be asked.
Yan Wushi: "Instead of plum drinking, Ah Qiao doesn't like the sweetness of honey water."
Shen Qiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him, wanting to ask you how do you know that I don't like honey water, but he felt that this question was too stupid, so he kept his mouth shut and looked down at the chessboard.
Bianbianmei was also slightly surprised when she heard the words, and replied as if nothing had happened: "Yes."
As soon as Yan Wushi left, he followed him out, asking humbly: "Master, dare to ask if the disciple is still treating Daochang Shen the same as before?"
"It's the same for him as it is for me." Yan Wushi glanced at him, and his eyes were full of admiration for "teachable children", which made Bianyanmei invigorated, thinking that she had guessed right.
Having said that, the people in the Demon Sect have never been moral gentlemen who have wronged themselves. Bianyanmei has seen Yan Wushi dote on many beauties before, but those people are just like a flash in the pan and never stay for a long time. However, "leaf does not touch the body" was more in line with his temperament, but he did not expect that the other party would see a flower that really grows in the snowy glaciers and does not stain the world.
Shen Qiao's character is a human being, and Bianbianmei naturally knows a thing or two. He does not think that his master can successfully pick this flower, because Shen Qiao looks good at talking, but has a arrogance that cannot be destroyed by wind and rain. A person who will walk the way of Longyang with broken sleeves. But with Master's method, once you fancy it, you are bound to win it.
Thinking of this, Bianbianmei didn't know who she should sympathize with.
He coughed lightly: "Forgive the disciples to talk too much, but I don't seem to mean that when I look at Taoist Master Shen?" You two don't seem to be in love with each other!
Yan Wushi glanced at him: "Do you have an idea?"
Mei Gan laughed at the edge: "The disciple has countless ways to subdue women, but Shen Qiao is not only not a woman, but also an ordinary person, so naturally he can't use ordinary methods to talk about it, but as the old saying goes, strong women are afraid of entanglement, where must I put these words? , does it all make sense? It's just... "
Yan Wushi: "Just what?"
Bianyanmei: "Master's demeanor is extraordinary, if you are an ordinary person, even if you only want a spring breeze, the other party will be very willing to give you a pillow seat, you can change it to Shen Qiao, one day Master is tired, he is afraid that he will not take it easy. quit."
The implication is that if you always want a dewy marriage, there are so many beauties in the world, and a lot of people willingly want to climb on your bed, but Shen Qiao doesn't say that it is difficult to get started now, even if you get started, you will not. It’s easy to get rid of your hands. As the saying goes, it’s easy to ask God and it’s hard to send God away. After all, Shen Qiao is a master at the master level, so don’t make any trouble for yourself!
Yan Wushi smiled: "How do you know that all I want is a spring breeze?"
Could it be that what you want is a lifetime
Bianbianmei was startled, but he didn't dare to ask, only said: "Disciple understands."
In fact, he still doesn't quite understand, Shen Qiao is indeed a rare beauty, but there are so many beauties in the world, Shen Qiao is not the most dazzling, is it because they are also masters at the master level, so they treat teachers More attractive in terms of respect
When Yan Wushi took a shower and changed clothes and came back refreshed, Shen Qiao had already filled most of the chessboard.
"You have already met Pu Liurujian's two sons, what do you think of them?" Yan Wushi sat down opposite him and asked casually.
Shen Qiao might as well ask him this question and ponder for a moment: "Dalang is honest, dull but not stupid, Erlang is smart, and he shows his skills at a young age."
Yan Wushi: "Your evaluation can be described as pertinent, blunt but not stupid, and it is all the essence!"
Shen Qiao: "Forgive me to say bluntly, although Pu Liurujian is very ambitious and willing to forbear, he will be the master of the country in the future, but his two sons' temperaments should have been reversed. If the second son's intelligence surpasses The eldest son, it may not be a blessing for the dynasty's society in the future."
Yan Wushi said with a smile: "A Qiao, you think too far, how can there be an invincible dynasty in the world? Even if Ying Zheng wants to inherit thousands of years, it will only die in the second life, who knows that the two of them will die. Will my son die before he reaches adulthood? Who knows if Pu Liurujian can really be the emperor for ten years, or will he be replaced by someone more powerful? I just need to know that my current collaborator can maintain enough sobriety As for the inheritance of his Puliu Ru family, I am not his father, why should I worry about him so much?"
Shen Qiao: "Since Sect Master Yan knows what he has in mind, I don't need to say more."
Yan Wushi: "Pulu Rujian wanted to find a master for his two sons. Since you said that, I know that you don't like any of them, so you can turn your back and refuse."
Shen Qiao said oddly, "Sect Master Yan's martial arts are better than mine, why didn't I ask you to apprentice?"
Yan Wushi said with a smile: "You don't like it, and I naturally don't like it. With our relationship, if we don't advance and retreat together, it will be misunderstood?"
What's our relationship? If you say this, others will not misunderstand
Shen Qiao was stunned by his ability to confuse black and white: "Sect Master Yan has been worrying too much. Pindao is not from the Huanyue Sect. Even if he does not advance and retreat with Sect Master Yan, others will not misunderstand."
…
This palace change truly embodies the words "Bing Gui's speed".
With the help of Yan Wushi, Shen Qiao and others, Pu Liurujian quickly controlled Yuwenyun, and then used Yuwenyun to control the political situation of the palace. As a senior politician, he did not extend this bloody conflict to the entire capital or even beyond the capital. Before anyone else could react, calm was restored in the palace.
Before that, in order to have fun and avoid interference from the courtiers, Yu Wenyun had already ceded the throne to his son Yu Wenchan, and he himself proclaimed himself Emperor Tianyuan. As a result, Pu Liurujian is now in control of the situation, and he doesn't even need to set up another puppet. The eight-year-old Yu Wenchan is still the emperor, but there is an extra watch over the country. .
After Pu Liurujian took power, he did not rush to become emperor, but to supervise the country as the prime minister of Zuo, and then announced that Yu Wenyun had died due to illness, and stopped the royal garden that was being built, and would be re-entered because of illness. The officials who were exiled from the capital by Yu Wenyun were recalled to the capital one after another, and their reputations were restored.
These two alone are heartwarming.
One emperor and one courtier, Pu Liu Rujian's rule also means that the good days of Buddhism and Hehuan Sect are gone.
Not to mention the Hehuan Sect, at the time of the palace change, neither Sang Jingxing nor Yuan Xiuxiu were in the capital. Where would those remaining people be the opponents of Yan Wushi and Bianyanmei? Since Yu Wenyun came to the throne, Huanyue Sect began to pretend to be a grandson incognito, and now he has finally come to the end of his hardships. Bianbianmei no longer forbears, and attacked directly to wipe out the forces of the Hehuan Sect in the court and the field.
After Zen Master Xue Ting was deprived of martial arts by Yan Wushi, he was imprisoned on the charge of bewitching the late emperor and not being virtuous. When Xue Ting fell, the Buddhist disciples in the imperial capital lost their backing, and they fell and scattered. Temples were closed down by the government one after another. The disciples either scattered and fled, or confessed their guilt to the court.
Yan Wushi did not mean to kill Buddhism. He knew that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have been passed down in the Central Plains for a long time, and now they have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Each has a group of loyal believers. In a weak situation, like Yu Wenyong's massive and vigorous extermination of the Buddha, how many monks were killed, how many temples were destroyed, and how many Buddhist classics were burned, but as soon as he died, he was reborn in the same spring breeze.
Therefore, what the Huanyue Sect needs is only the support of those in power and their own right to speak, not the elimination of Buddhism. Because without Buddhism, there are still Taoism and Confucianism, which will be destroyed forever. The best way is for several major forces to maintain a balance with each other, and no one can do anything about the other, so that there will not be a situation where one family dominates, and it is a relatively long-term solution.
His idea coincided with Pu Liurujian's, so the cooperation between the two was very pleasant.
Feeling the achievements of Yan Wushi and Shen Qiao, Pu Liurujian not only ordered the construction of Xuandu Temple in the capital, and made Shen Qiao the master of Xuandu Guantong, but also generously handed over some business related to the royal family to the Huanyue Sect. Even after the establishment of the three-province and six-department system in the future, the most lucrative official position of the Minister of Industry was handed over to the people of the Huanyue Sect. The Sui generation has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Huanyue Sect, until Yang Guang turned his face. Ruthless, broken promises.
These are all later stories.
In February after the palace change, not long after the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Zhou Di Yuwen explained that Puliu Rujian was highly respected and had the appearance of a wise ruler, but he was young and ignorant and unworthy of his position, and announced that Zen was located in Puliu Rujian, Puliu Rujian. Liu Rujian accepted three words, took the throne in Linguang Hall, set the country's name to Sui, changed Yuan Kaihuang, claimed to recognize his ancestors and returned to the ancestry, changed back to Yang's Han surname, and announced an amnesty to the world.
Since then, the new emperor has ascended the throne, the north has changed its dynasties, since the Jin Dynasty was destroyed and the Wuhu entered the Central Plains, hundreds of years of turbulent times will finally usher in a new page.
For the common people, the wind and rain in the court and the prostitution in the palace have nothing to do with them. Their requirements are very simple, they only need to have enough food and clothing. However, the atmosphere of the new dynasty has brought some changes after all. If nothing else, the amnesty of the world is enough to save everyone from having to pay taxes this year and make life easier.
The more money in his hand, the more smiles on his face.
At least Shen Qiao still felt something in his heart as he walked all the way.
"Until now, I have not regretted the decision I made that day."
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, just because there is a temple fair today, many people go out to buy things for the Dragon Boat Festival. .
Hearing his words, Yan Wushi smiled and said, "Da Qing A Qiao has always been uneasy in his heart."
Shen Qiao nodded and told the truth: "These days, I have always been afraid that my own involvement will make the world usher in a faint king, and the life of the common people will be even more sad."
The two passed by a stall and listened to the stall owner shouting vigorously. Yan Wushi glanced at the situation and bought a cloth tiger sewn with colorful cloth. The tiger was tied with a lanyard and a silk sash was attached to the bottom.
Yan Wushi stuffed the tiger cloth into Shen Qiao's hands.
Shen Qiao said inexplicably, "Give it to me?"
Holding the soft cloth tiger in his hand, he fiddled with it left and right, and couldn't help but smile: "It's cute."
Yan Wushi laughed and said in his heart, yes, like you, big cats and kittens are all cats, and this seat is in the company of cats all day long.
The two went back after visiting the fair. Yan Wushi's young master's mansion had been unsealed, and Yang Jian had given him a title. Now it was renamed Wuguo Gong's mansion, and Yan Wushi lived here. Shen Qiao's Xuandu Temple has not yet been built Well, we can only live here first.
The housekeeper met Yan Wushi, and hurriedly came over to report, saying that Erlang-Jun had returned, and brought someone with him, saying that it was Daochang Shen's junior brother.
Shen Qiao felt strange in his heart, and when he saw Yu Shengyan who came with him, he couldn't help but be even more surprised: "Fourth Junior Brother?"
