Tang Qi Tan

At the same time, in Buzhengfang, which is only two squares away from Jingzhao Mansion, is the headquarters of Chang'an Jinghua Society, which occupies the largest area.Groups of teenagers and young disciples were wielding swords and weapons, or practicing loudly with fists and feet in the courtyard after layer after layer.

And in these crowd gathering places, there are more than a dozen large and small wooden platforms, which are routinely holding different martial arts fights;With bursts of applause, cheers, and even mixed with curses, it seemed very lively.

In fact, as one of the largest associations in Chang'an City; the Jinghua Society is a special product of the folk chivalry and martial arts since the founding of the Tang Dynasty; The Anshi Rebellion is closely related.

Just after the Battle of Tongguan at that time, the prince's army headed by the famous general Ge Shuhan was wiped out, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty went west to Jianchuan in a hurry, and Emperor Suzong went to the northwest to gather all the kings; But early began to secretly layout the Guanzhong land.

Therefore, after the rebel army led by Sun Xiaozhe, the adopted son of An Lushan, occupied the Xijing Chang'an, they faced waves of resistance from Guannei Road and even the hinterland of Gyeonggi.Among them, a large number of rangers, heroes, righteous men and others in the arena also joined it.

Under the reward and guidance of the Xichuan small court, some of them spontaneously assassinated the generals of the rebel army; A member of many guerrilla teams trained by Mr. Liang...

Therefore, after Prime Minister Fang Guan, who is known as "Zhao Kuo is alive", led the Northwest Army and Horses to counterattack and failed; it was also Liang Gong who was located in Jiannan who sent troops to rescue and respond in time to avoid the annihilation of the entire army.Then in the follow-up battle of the restoration of Chang'an, it was even more successful in one fell swoop.

In this significant battle of recovery, a large number of rangers, heroes and righteous men who successively mixed into the city of Chang'an under the cover of Xue Jingxian, the former Jingzhao Yin, played a very important role.Therefore, as one of the post-war rewards, they were granted official identities.

And thus established a special temporary management organization, which is the predecessor of Jinghua News Agency.It's just that after the world returned to peace, this temporary agency that managed the people in the capital's Jianghu was not revoked and dismissed, but was further strengthened and expanded its functions and roles.

He also became an emerging hero headed by Liang Gong, one of the important forces of the Procuratorate, the secret spy organization responsible for investigating and assassinating ministers and generals under the command of Li Fuguo, a treacherous eunuch who was powerful at the time.In the end, Li Fuguo tried to seize the palace when Suzong was seriously ill and killed Queen Zhang after the incident failed.

The prosecutor's office also disappeared, but after Emperor Taixing was supported, he began to reuse Wufang children and select and train Habayashi orphans.The Jinghua Society was subsequently inherited.Of course, when anything develops to a certain stage, it will inevitably produce various disadvantages;

And the Jinghua Society, which had been overblown, became a place where the dignitaries and sons of honored ministers gathered together, and gradually became a mixed bag of good and bad.Later, it was involved in a coup plot against Liang Gong and Emperor Taixing, and once became a shelter for the rebels to hide.

...

Therefore, after the Taixing New Deal set things right again, although the Jinghua News Agency was not banned, it was also severely purged and pursued; and the Xinjing News Agency was separated in Dongdu.In this way, the background of the imperial court was gradually diluted, and it became an ad hoc organization responsible for the affairs of the Jianghu in the two capitals and sixteen prefectures.

The children of the rivers and lakes are also full of traits of rebellion, resistance and suspicion of authority.Therefore, the Jinghua News Agency usually does not rely on official power to directly control it; rather, it relies more on indirect influence and means such as fame, fortune, status, etc., which most people in the world cannot ignore.

For example, according to the various contests and competitive activities held regularly; the Jinghua Society relies on the resources of the imperial court, and regularly formulates various rankings in the world, forming natural authority and basic credibility.Another example is publishing various official and private rewards, agent verification and payment of remuneration.

In addition, there is the right to authenticate public identities.As long as you have registered in it and confirmed that you have no eucalyptus background, you can enjoy all kinds of conveniences in food and accommodation, and even avoid the preferential treatment of most local government searches and carrying weapons with you in the city.

For another example, the Jinghua Society can give a certain amount of recommendation rights to the government, the army, and even the powerful eunuchs and rich merchants in the territory; As far as people are concerned, it is undoubtedly a shortcut to get ahead.

Therefore, after the accumulation of successive dynasties, the Jinghua Society has become an orthodox Jianghu; and the daily rewards and countermeasures are mainly bandits and thieves who roam around, all kinds of heresy associations, and even underground assassins and killers. group.

Among the many buildings in Jinghua Headquarters, there is an inconspicuous tower with a good view.As one of the face and image representatives of the contemporary headquarters, Xie Zhiyi, the swordsman of the outer hall known as "Jinghua Wushuang", stood silently behind a man with extraordinary bearing and contemptuous eyes.

It wasn't until the other party said: "So, you didn't do anything, and you returned." Xie Zhiyi seemed to come to life from the state of a standing still statue, and said: "Report to the prison agency, because once you do something, it will belong to you." The subordinates are really not sure, so they retreated completely in front of that Jiang Jianxian."

"The masters of Beijing and China who fought before were not all-in-one enemies. Asang, the earth-rolling dragon, is still in a coma; Zhuiyunzi (swordsman in brown clothes) was seriously injured when his sword was broken; Nie Ying (the man in green clothes) Both arms were broken; Tie Qiang Xin was the most seriously injured, almost heartbroken..."

"There is another follower who was blinded by the bullet." Having said this, he paused and said, "What's more, the supervisor seems to have sensed it, and he is stern to me. I'm afraid the subordinates are a little The abnormal movement, he will take the opportunity to attack on the spot, just like those Xihe family members will end up."

"So, haven't you been able to find out his depth this time?" The supercilious prisoner sighed without turning his back to him: "Forget it, the timing is too inconvenient. Then How is the identity of the assassin who was assassinated by the court and thrown by him a hundred steps away?"

"The mortician of our company has assisted in the inspection of the remains at the scene, and preliminarily confirmed that it is suspected to be the dead man of the 24th festival." Xie Zhiyi replied blankly, but he was slightly relieved in his heart, and finally he didn't have to lose the reputation and status he had accumulated over the years. : "It's either Guyu or Jingzhe."

...

"Jingzhe is impossible!" However, the supervisor interrupted without hesitation: "Because according to the secret report from Dongdu, dozens of people from the Jingzhe Department, one of the 24 killers, including the leader, have already been in Yuebei. The Duanping Buildings were all destroyed, and they became the achievements of the Henan government..."

"Then, social supervisor..." Xie Zhiyi hesitated to speak, "Do you want to continue to arrange, follow-up matters."

"Of course I don't want to. This church is not the kind of foolish people who are arrogant." Then the supervisor turned around and looked at him with burning eyes: "At the beginning, it was just entrusted by others. We will do our best, but there is no need Yuezu acts as a substitute, resulting in endless hatred."

"However, there is generally no need to conceal the corresponding news and inside information, and let people spread it as much as possible through the branch." The supervisory agency then stopped him and added: "And reject any relevant rewards, so that the teachers behind those people and Family, go and trouble yourself..."

But in Fanchuan, Shaoling, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain in the south of Chang'an City, among the monasteries and jungles everywhere, there is a lively scene of Sanskrit Chanting and bells and drums.Believers who came from all directions to worship and offer incense, as well as monks and monks from all over the world gathered in a sea of ​​people.

As the saying goes, there is a tradition of "eight sects of Buddhism, six out of Chang'an" in the Tang Dynasty.Among them are Huayan Temple, the ancestral court of Huayan Sect, Jingye Temple, the ancestral court of Pure Land Sect, Xiangji Temple, the ancestral court of Faxiang Sect, Daci'en Temple, the ancestral court of Faxiang Sect, Daxingshan Temple, the ancestral court of Tantric Sect, and Caotang Temple, the ancestral court of Sanlun Sect.

Only Shaolin Temple in Henan, the ancestral home of Zen, and Guoqing Temple in eastern Zhejiang, the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect, are exceptions.The Badasa Temple in Fanchuan, located in Shaolingyuan, is one of the 28 scenic spots in Gyeonggi, and is known as the "Buddhist Kingdom on Earth"/"Little Western Paradise in the World" for a generation of Buddhist resorts.

Among them are the Xingjiao Temple where Master Xuanzang's bones were buried; the Xingguo Temple that served as Xuanzang's incense house (daochang); the Hongfu Temple where Xuanzang was ordered to translate scriptures; There is the Huayan Temple, the ancestral court of the Huayan Sect; but at the moment their glory has been taken away by another temple.

Because, Guanyin Temple/Great Guanyin Temple, one of the eight great temples in Fanchuan, is also the highest-standard dojo of the Zen lineage in the capital; it welcomes Baolin Temple from Caoxi, Shaozhou, and escorts thousands of miles to the north. The golden body relic of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng.Therefore, it can be called a momentary Buddhist event.

Not only the various sects of Buddhism in Beijing have successively dispatched eminent monks and great virtues under their sects; the master of Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, the ancestral home of Zen, is also on his way; , Dongdu Meritorious Envoy and Senglusi came to welcome him.

However, under strict guard in the innermost part, in the Grand Guanyin Temple named after the mural painted by Wu Daozi - the picture of the Hundred Images of Guanyin; The bald donkeys, big and small, must be present to witness the hot-looking sutras.

And they are the big and small meritorious envoys from Zuoyou Street and Dongdu, as well as the officials of the monk record department who are under the jurisdiction of the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and Ancestral Hall, and who are in charge of the accounts of monks and nuns in temples all over the world and the supplementary grants from monk officials.In the end, Haigong, the envoy from Ouchi, resignedly persuaded and said softly:
"Jiang Jiansi, please start the inspection. Are all the Tian family in the big house still waiting for a reply?" Then, he looked at the monks and monk officials and said: "The miscellaneous family came here on order, and you can give me permission." Confidence and face, no matter what happens later, don't act rashly!"
