The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 660: Lingbo’s Microstep Dance to Beiming ()
Early the next morning, Duan Yichang came to Xingqing Palace to report because Zhao Tong said he was going to Chongsheng Temple on the Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain to see his father Duan Heyu.

Duan Yichang was actually a little puzzled. Not only had his father abdicated, he had already become a monk. Therefore, no matter according to the tradition of the Dali royal family or the rules of the Central Plains, once he entered Buddhism, all four elements were empty. There was no need for Zhao Tong to look at it. Or if he was summoned directly, why should he go in person?

Unless the Duan family did not want to surrender to the Qin Dynasty, secretly accumulating strength and intending to resist, Zhao Tong planned to eradicate the roots. But in that case, he would just send a large army to arrest them. It would be puzzling to go there in person.

In addition to Duan Yichang, Duan Siyan also came over, saying that she wanted to follow him for a visit and asked Zhao Tong'en for permission. She had also gone to Chongsheng Temple to visit Duan Heyu before, but like Duan Yichang, she was rejected.

Zhao Tong ordered two crabs from Ouyang Beiding, three brothers from the Bai family, four sworn brothers from Lu Han, Xu Jiang, Lu Da Shijin, and three disciples. Xiao Zhao Zheng also brought them.

In addition, he received 10,000 elite soldiers. As for the other generals, none of them were called. He took only his direct relatives and others and set off.

However, he did not leave Dali City directly to Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain, but first went to the Duan Family Courtyard to see Wang Ruochu.

He had to meet this Concubine Wang De, because she was most likely the only elder who could find a blood relationship with Xiao Min.

Xiao Min's father, Xiao Feng, was a member of the Khitan Yishi tribe. His parents died early and his family declined. Because of his bravery and talent, he was valued by Yelu Hongji. Later, he followed Yelv Ren to first conquer the Zubu tribe, that is, the Tatars, and then conquer the enemy. After a great victory, he was appointed as the governor of the enemy's army. After that, he made many military exploits and his official rank rose.

But after he became famous, he didn't have many relatives. Both his parents died when he was young. At that time, there were frequent rebellions in the grassland, and some distant relatives who had some contact with him also lost contact. Therefore, Xiao Min's father had no relatives.

And it was difficult to ask for help in this situation. Although some other aristocratic families had good relationships or had in-laws, they were also competitors.

Although this courtyard is not big, it is very elegant. Flowers are blooming everywhere, especially mandalas, which are colorful and enchanting.

The little girl originally smiled happily when she saw her mother and uncle returning to the hospital, but when she saw Zhao Tong again, she couldn't help but become nervous immediately.

After all, for this kind of martial arts family, there are hundreds of years of grievances and countless enemies. Once the family declines, in order to avoid being united by the other party to seek revenge, or even the tragedy of annihilation, the entire family will hide.

She was a little afraid of Zhao Tong. It wasn't that Zhao Tong behaved in a scary way or deliberately frightened her. It was just that yesterday she saw her grandma and uncle fawning over this man. They bowed and knelt down, and her uncle begged this man. Grandma There were tears left, so I intuitively felt that this was a bad person. My mother and uncle were afraid of this person, so they acted like this, and I became afraid in my heart.

"Your Majesty..." Duan Siyan looked at Zhao Tong and said, "I'm going to ask my mother to tidy up and burn incense to welcome the holy driver."

"Nanny!" Duan Siyan stepped forward and picked up Duan Linger, "Is grandma in the room?"

Duan Ling'er was playing beside the flowers in front of the house. After coming out of Xingqing Palace yesterday, Duan Siyan moved here with her daughter to live with her mother. There were many people here, and Wang De Fei could also help take care of the child.

The best way is to move the whole family to a place where no one can find it, live in seclusion, recuperate, and wait for the family to revive. When a generation of talents emerges in large numbers, and when there is a genius, they will be born again to compete.

"Grandma is here..." Duan Linger carefully peeked at Zhao Tong and grabbed Duan Siyan's sleeve, extremely nervous.

Zhao Tong has been searching for these years, but there is no news. He is probably living in seclusion in the mountains or going to sea.

On her mother's side, the Su family, one of the four major martial arts families in Hangzhou, moved away from Hangzhou a few years ago when the family was in decline and disappeared without a trace.

And after all these years, even if you happen to find someone, it may not be from the older generation. It is very likely that there are not many people from the older generation left. The relationship between the younger generations below is getting weaker and weaker, and they have never been seen before. How can they come from Family affection? There is nothing good to say about it.

So Zhao Tong could not find it, and more than thirty years have passed since Xiao Feng met Aunt Xiao Min. Xiao Min's mother and his aunt were both married to Xiao Feng, and her mother was originally a disciple of the Zizi Sect branch, and she was a disciple of the Zizai Sect. The person who came together with Xiao Feng did not know her earlier than her aunt.

At this time, you need to be more careful about backstabbing. After all, people in martial arts all belong to a big circle, and who doesn’t want to dominate the world?

Duan Linger originally wanted to go up to her and throw herself into her mother's arms, but when she saw Zhao Tong coming, she hurriedly retracted her little foot, and then stared at Duan Siyan with a pair of big eyes, with a hint of bewilderment in her expression.

Wang Ruochu is Xiao Min's cousin, and she is still very close to her cousin. From the current point of view, Wang Ruochu is Xiao Min's only close relative and the only one who can be found, so Zhao Tong went to take a look.

Duan Yichang and his brother, who didn't know this relationship, were surprised when they heard this, but they couldn't refuse, so they led the way.

When he arrived at the other courtyard, Zhao Tong asked others to wait, and then went to see him alone with his sister and brother.

"No need, just meet him like this. Why are we burning incense?" Zhao Tong glanced at the door in front and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Later, after Fang La's disaster in Jiangnan, several martial arts families in Hangzhou moved away. Those who were related to the Su family also disappeared, so the relatives on Xiao Min's mother's side were also nowhere to be found.

Duan Siyan and Duan Yichang looked at each other and hurriedly followed. Duan Yichang knocked on the door lattice a few times to indicate that he was mentally prepared so as not to be rude later, then he opened the door gently and invited Zhao Tong to enter.

This is a flower hall, bright and fresh. As soon as Zhao Tao entered, he smelled the fragrant aroma. He didn't know whether it was the fragrance of flowers or the smell of rouge and spices.

Zhao Tong looked inside and saw a woman with a surprised look on her face, turning around and walking out.

Judging from her appearance alone, this woman was only in her thirties. She was very graceful and graceful. Even if she was a little older, she was still three points better than Duan Siyan.

This is... Zhao Yu stopped, is this Wang Ruochu? Why are you so young? She looks like Duan Siyan's sister. Duan Siyan is nearly thirty years old this year. Just looking at her appearance, Wang Ruochu doesn't seem to be much older than Duan Siyan.

Could it be that he also practices martial arts like the Everlasting Eternal Spring Kung Fu? Changchun Gong is not only a rare inner sect skill, but also has the effect of rejuvenating the appearance. Although it is not said that it can maintain youth forever, it can make people look much younger than their actual age.

At this time, Yi Chang hurriedly stepped forward to introduce Zhao Tong's identity. Wang Ruochu was slightly shocked when he heard this, obviously he did not expect that it was Emperor Qin who arrived.

She just thought for a moment and then said a blessing: "Duan Wang, a daughter of the people of Dali, has met His Majesty the Qin Emperor."

The sound is like an oriole coming out of the valley, very sweet and sweet, almost like a girl.

Zhao Tong touched his chin and said with a smile: "Where did this come from? How could the Duan family's concubine become a commoner's daughter?"

There was no expression on Wang Ruochu's face, she was sparse and indifferent, but her attitude was humble: "Dali has returned to Qin, and the Duan family no longer has royal status, so it is natural to call her a daughter of the people."

Is this the cool one? Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes, turned around and said to Duan Yichang and Duan Siyan: "You guys go out first, Concubine De and I have something to say."

The siblings didn't know why, so they turned around and left the flower hall, closing the door at the same time.

"Sister, what will your Majesty tell grandma?" Duan Yichang whispered.

"I don't know, how...how did your majesty talk to my grandma alone? Little brother, has your majesty told you anything about my grandma before?" "That's not true, but grandma was originally from Jiangnan in the Song Dynasty. At that time, His Majesty was confused about something and asked me to write to my father to inquire about the Jiangnan Jianghu in the Song Dynasty. Could it be related to this? "

"That's probably true. Otherwise, given His Majesty's status, why would he ask about the Green Forest Jianghu matter." Duan Siyan nodded.

It took more than half an hour before the door of the flower hall opened. Zhao Tong called to the two of them and asked them to come in. Zhao Tong looked solemn and Wang Ruochu stood aside, feeling a little dazed.

Zhao Tong said to the two of them: "After the war is over, your two siblings and Concubine Wang De will follow me to Beijing. From now on, they will live in Tokyo. It is prosperous there. I will give the prince an official position. As for the princess, if she meets someone she likes, You can also remarry, and you will live a good life there, and your future prosperity will be guaranteed, and your descendants will have no worries about wealth. "

Duan Yichang said yes, but Duan Siyan was a little confused. She didn't take it into her mind to marry again. With her child so old, she naturally wouldn't be shy like a girl about such words. She just wondered why Zhao Tong said such a thing. Come on.

Zhao Tong thought for a while and then said: "Concubine Wang De, including you, are related to me. My wife Xiao Min's mother and Concubine De are aunts and cousins. Xiao Min and you are also cousins. As for my daughter Yue'er..."

He walked over and rubbed Duan Linger's head, which made the little girl shrink back in fear.

"My daughters Yue'er and Ling'er are also cousins."

Duan Yichang and Duan Siyan were both dumbfounded. No matter how much they thought about it, they never expected that they would have such a relationship with Zhao Tong.

Xiao Min and the others didn't recognize each other, but since Zhao Tong was considered a wife, she obviously had a noble status.

As for this relationship, it's really not that far off. The mothers of both parties are aunts and sisters. Isn't there a saying, aunts and uncles are close to each other, and the broken bones are connected to the tendons.

Then the two of them and Xiao Min are naturally cousins, and they can't be said to be far apart. As for the emperor's daughter and Duan Ling'er also calling them cousins, there's nothing wrong with them.

"Your Majesty, could this be the letter you asked me to write to my father back then?" Duan Yichang asked.

"I didn't know about this at the time. It was only after your father wrote back that I found out about the relationship." Zhao Tong said, "Let Concubine De tell you more about it."

The two of them looked at Wang Ruochu together. Wang Ruochu sighed softly and started talking about Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

That year, Hangzhou had a beautiful spring, with peach blossoms in full bloom, white-clothed men coming from the south, waterside pavilions and pavilions fragrant, and a group of heroes performing.

That year, Hangzhou was beautiful, among the apricot groves, and tall men came from the north to express their feelings and dramatize the story of men drinking thousands of cups.

That year, by the West Lake, there was mist and rain, the beauty was like jade, the sword was like a rainbow...

After a long while, Wang Ruochu finally finished telling what had happened. Duan Yichang and his brother were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that their parents had such cool and legendary stories back then.

The two of them had endless aftertaste and thoughts. Zhao Tong looked at Wang Ruochu and said: "Concubine De, can we go to Chongsheng Temple together?"

Wang Ruochu slowly shook his head: "I don't want to see him again."

The corner of Zhao Tong's mouth twitched, thinking to himself that this Heyu did indeed go a bit too far and was completely devoid of responsibility.

I can't make sense of national affairs, and my family affairs are a mess. I don't want a solution, but I just want to escape, throw away, and walk away.

He escaped into Buddhism and felt free and unrestrained. He attended martial arts and worshiped Buddha every day without any worries.

But he didn't care about Dali's mess or the family's continued prosperity. This made people hate him to the core. No wonder Wang Ruochu didn't want to see him again.

Zhao Tong said: "Since Concubine De doesn't want to see her, then she won't see her. I will take Yi Changsiyan and two of them there. After meeting her today, I'm afraid it will be ugly again in this life."

Duan Siyan looked at Wang Ruochu: "Mom, don't you go and take a look..."

Wang Ruochu waved his hand: "Stop talking, I won't go see him. Since he has abandoned his family and country and fled to Buddhism to escape, why should I see him again?"

"This..." Duan Siyan couldn't persuade her for a moment after hearing this. After all, what Wang Ruochu said was true, and she also knew that this meeting would be the last one. After this time, she might never see her father again in her life.

One is that she will go north with Zhao Tan in a few days. Dali is far away from Kaifeng, so it will not be easy to come back. Besides, with her and Duan Yichang's status, it is open to question whether Zhao Tan will let them leave Tokyo.

Second, Duan Heyu didn't want to see his siblings at all. They both went to visit them, but they were rejected. They said they had escaped into Buddhism and cut off the grudges in the world, or they didn't have the face to see their siblings. In short, they just disappeared. .

So after this time, we will never see each other again.

"Let's go!" Zhao Tong shook his head. Whether to see or not to see is indeed a difficult question, but since Wang Ruochu chose not to see, there is no need to persuade him.

Maybe... we have been together for a long time, and we have long since become tired of seeing each other.

After leaving the gate of the flower hall, they came outside, mounted their horses, and started the procession, heading out of the city.

After leaving Dali City, go straight to Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Chongsheng Temple, the royal temple of Dali, is located under Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake.

This Chongsheng Temple was originally built in the early days of Nanzhao. It was the Zhaowang Pavilion where Luo Feng and the Tubo State Master Zan Cuo confirmed their alliance, and where the Tubo envoys were stationed.

When Nanzhao persuaded Fengyou, he reused Master Haishou. The master offered advice: "Make Nanzhao a Buddhist country and rebuild Chongsheng Temple into a great Chongsheng Temple to protect the country."

So Chongsheng Temple was rebuilt and expanded.

The rebuilt Chongsheng Temple is more than seven miles in diameter. The famous monk Li Chengmei and the sage built the famous Chongsheng Three Pagodas. There are 890 rooms in the temple, 11,400 Buddha statues, and 45,900 copper pagodas. Ten kilograms, costing more than 708,000 kilograms of work, and consuming gold, silver, silk, silk and brocade worth 43,514 kilograms of gold.

By the time of the Dali Kingdom, Buddhism was more developed than Nanzhao, and was known as the Kingdom of Buddhism and the Kingdom of Miaoxiang. The "holy" worshiped in Chongsheng Temple was Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The worship of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was extremely popular in the Dali area. Several generations of emperors of Dali Kingdom, By the time of Duan Heyu, there were already eight monks in Chongsheng Temple.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this Chongsheng Temple is the first temple in Southwest China.

The army and horses galloped out of the city, and not long after, they arrived in front of this huge temple.
