I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 21
"Officials, minister...the minister was really eager to save you at the time, and seeing you in trouble, it was only then that he lost his position for a while..."

"Just because the old minister has been with you for many years, you should treat me as a poor minister and spare my humble life..."

"Your Majesty! It's been 15 years. It's been 15 years since we came here from Nandu! In the past 15 years, I have devoted myself to assisting you, Your Majesty!"

"minister……"

Yang Yizhong's home is not far from Fengyu Gate, not far from the imperial palace.

This house is not too big, but it is backed by the Lin'an government office and the yamen of the three provinces and six ministries, so the location is not bad.

From the moment he got off the carriage, Zhang Taiwei kept begging the emperor with tears and snot, as if his son had died.

Begging, save your own life.

Liu Kai and Yang Yizhong also helped to speak, but the emperor seemed to have lost his hearing, and just looked around, ignoring the three of them.

At the back, Zhang Taiwei actually asked Daoji to go:

The little monk couldn't protect himself from the emperor, besides, he saw clearly the way the old man killed people just now.

This is the first time the emperor has come to the house, and he has not received any notice before. The entire Yang family is busy, starting from Mrs. Yang, and they don't know what kind of etiquette should be displayed, so that they can be regarded as not neglecting the Tian family. .

"What about the hairy man?"

Yang Yizhong had roughly guessed the emperor's intentions, and when he saw the emperor asked, he led a few people to a house in the inner courtyard.

"The doctors from the three medical clinics in Lin'an City have all seen it. Master Fohai's wound is not deep and there is no serious problem."

"Not deep?" Liu Bang asked suspiciously, "Not deep, how could he be knocked out with one knife?"

"That's right..." Yang Yizhong hesitated, "I was shocked."

"Is he so timid?"

Such a small boy, yet he dared to block a knife for himself.

Liu Bang didn't quite understand, anyway, he himself was determined not to do such a stupid thing.

"Just wait at the door, I'll go in and see him."

Although it was still regarded as air by the emperor, this was the first time the emperor spoke, and he quickly responded.

Among the three generals, he was the oldest, but his voice was the loudest at this time.

After watching the emperor enter the room, Yang Yizhong brought the door up in a sensible manner. Once the door was closed, Zhang Jun pulled Liu and Yang aside as if he had been a different person:
"Zhengfu, Uncle Xin, the two of you arrived in Lin'an before I did. What's wrong with this official's house?"

"You have heard what the official said just now. If you still think that we are comrades, tell me what you know!"

The three outside the house chatted, and the three inside the room were not idle either.

Seeing the visitor, the lying monk Fohai wanted to get up, but was stopped by Liu Bang:
"You kid, just lie down."

Daoji has been by Fohai's side since he became a monk, and this is the first time that the two have parted.

Seeing his master wrapped in white cloth into half a zongzi, he always wanted to cry, but he didn't dare.

Seeing his appearance, Fohai thought he couldn't bear to worry himself, so he touched his face involuntarily:
"My good apprentice, I've grown up."

After the master and apprentice exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Bang said:

"Daoji, go and guard the door, don't allow those three people to eavesdrop."

Although Daoji was reluctant to give up, he did not move slowly. As soon as the emperor's words fell, he had already decisively wrestled out of Fohai's hands.

This little guy... Liu Bang couldn't help but shook his head. When he left, Liu Ruyi was only this age.

As for Daoji being entangled by Zhang Jun after he went out, that's another story.

Looking at the monk in front of him at this time, Liu Bang was not polite, and sat down next to the bed:
"Go ahead."

Fohai was lying on his stomach, he could only see his legs, and he didn't know what his expression was, and he couldn't perform Buddha rituals.

"My lord, what do you want the monk to say?"

"You took the knife for me, I am very grateful to you, but when did you recognize me?"

Fohai seemed to have expected this question long ago, without even thinking about it, he answered directly:
"It's a long story."

"There is plenty of time, and I will listen to it no matter how long it takes."

Seeing what he said, Fo Hai no longer concealed:
"The little monk is from the middle of Sichuan. When he was young, he studied the Dharma with Zen Master Keqin in Zhaojue Temple. It was not until six years ago, after Zen Master Keqin passed away, that the little monk left Sichuan and came to the south of the Yangtze River."

Damn you, why didn't you start with King Wu's defeat of Zhou?
He cursed secretly in his heart, but when he heard that he was from the middle of Shu, Liu Bang was silent for a moment, and then said:
"You Immortal Banban."

Hearing the words, Fohai was surprised and suspicious: "You, why do you say such vulgar words?"

Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder: "Isn't it to see if you are deceiving someone? I am very familiar with Shuzhong...Go on, go on."

Even if Fohai was scolded, he had never been scolded so dirty. His neck was already red at this time, but fortunately, Amitabha Buddha didn't read it for nothing. He paused and said:
"After leaving Sichuan, the little monk went to various Buddhist temples and temples in the south of the Yangtze River to study, Chuzhou, Wuzhou, Quzhou, Tanzhou..."

"Can you tell me the point?"

Fohai said: "Amitabha, my little monk said beforehand that it is a long story, and you will listen to it no matter how long it is."

"Okay, okay, I listen!"

"Until a few days ago, the young monk was invited by Lay Yi An to go to Qiantang to chant scriptures for his deceased father and husband. It was there that the young monk met Taoist Master Huangfu Tan."

"The Taoist priest was also invited by Lay Yi'an. Although the Dharma I learned is different, both of us are from Sichuan, and the Taoist priest Huangfu has profound Taoism, which I admire."

"On that day, the two of us were discussing the Dharma under the pavilion. The Taoist leader saw that the general was out of position, and he predicted that there must be an accident with a general in the Song Dynasty. He thought of the generals who were recalled to Lin'an. Although the two of us don't know who they are , but still worried, so the little monk came to Lin'an, although he couldn't help much, but praying for the disaster-stricken general, it can be regarded as a contribution."

"Before he left, the Taoist priest made a divination for the little monk, and he only said that it was a bloody disaster, but it could also hit the great luck, and even... the future of the Great Song Dynasty was tied in the little monk's hands alone. "

"So that night, after feeling the nobility on your body, the little monk boldly guessed that you are the great luck that Taoist priest Huangfu said... In fact, even if it wasn't you, but someone else, the little monk would also be able to do the same. Amitabha."

After Fohai finished speaking, he closed his eyes and said nothing, he was waiting for this person's reaction.

until……

There was a sharp pain in his back, and he wanted to turn around subconsciously, but he was pressed firmly on the bed.

"My lord, what is this?"

Liu Bang pressed the monk with one hand, and put the fingers of the other hand together, and slid across his wound. Even though he was covered with a medical cloth, Liu Bang's strength still made Fo Hai extremely painful.

"The story, I won't comment on it."

"But this kind of words may be used to deceive other people. I will never believe it."

"Don't ask why, Taoist, right? Stargazing, right? Divination, right?"

"If you are sensible, then tell the truth, if not... hum."

Liu Bang smiled darkly, and the strength in his hands increased a little bit, and the sweat of Fohai oozes out from the pain.

The monk was shocked. According to their speculation and their understanding of this person, at this time, even if he didn't believe it completely, he must believe half of it.

How, how could it become like this!
"It's a pity, I thought you were the one who could tell the truth."

Fo Hai gritted his teeth and said, "That's the truth, if you feel that the little monk is hiding something, you can take this life!"

After hearing this, Liu Bang stopped.

Just when Fohai was thinking whether he was testing himself, he heard:
"How should I say, you also helped to block the knife, I will not take your life."

"It's just that your apprentice has no kindness to me."

The calmness of these words made Fohai seem to have fallen into an ice cave.

The two remained silent, only the chirping of cicadas could be heard outside the house.

Liu Bang didn't force him either. After a while, Fo Hai smiled wryly and said:
"Can you tell me how you found out?"

Seeing that he let go, Liu Bang helped him up, and then he lay back and collapsed on the bed.

"First, do you know Zhang Liang?"

"Zi Fang's name is public, why don't I know."

"He is also a Taoist. Do you think that Huangfu or something can be better than him?"

Fohai was silent, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was.

"Even Zhang Liang can't predict the unknown, that kid can do it? If he can do it, I'll give you my head for kicking!"

This……

Liu Bang went on to say: "Secondly, you shouldn't deceive me with ghosts and gods. My daughter-in-law used to say that wherever I go, there is a cloud over my head..."

Seeing that he was getting more and more confused, Liu Bang said straightly: "Anyway, I don't believe this, you understand!"

"Thirdly, Yang Yizhong told me that you passed out because you were frightened...it's impossible."

"How...how impossible?"

"If you were so timid, you wouldn't block that knife... Maybe someone in this world would do that, but without knowing your identity, absolutely no one would stand up, absolutely!"

"If you are courageous, that knife will not make you unconscious."

"Now, can you tell me the truth?"

Fohai was silent again, he really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

These three reasons, if someone else told them, maybe he would believe it.

But from this point of view, he couldn't convince himself no matter what.

Maybe...he already knew about it, and he just came here to amuse himself.

Unable to bear a long sigh, Monk Fohai stopped chanting Amitabha, ignored the pain in his back, got off the bed, and then very solemnly knelt down towards Liu Bang.

"Officials, continue the Northern Expedition! Don't make peace with the Jin people again!"

Liu Bang tapped the bed lightly with his fingers: "From the story you made up, I have already thought that you are a person who wants to fight...so you are so close to me, in fact, to say this, right? ?”

Fohai nodded, and without waiting for him to continue to ask questions, he continued to speak sensiblely:
"The land of Hanzhong, the land of Xiangyang, and the land of Huaihe River, do you know how many people revolted against the gold in these three places?"

"You don't know, no, you should say you do, but you're only pretending not to."

"The thirteen boatloads of calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, books and antiques brought across the river by Lay Yi'an have almost been sold off."

"That's not what she should have done. It's not her responsibility. Are you right?"

From Fo Hai's mouth, Liu Bang probably heard the matter clearly.

What is the name of Jushi Yi'an, she is a woman, almost 60 years old.

During the Jingkang crisis, her husband died on the way to the south, she was a woman and had no one to rely on, and she suffered a lot during the turbulent days.

I married an official at the age of 50. I didn't expect that the old boy was interested in the property she brought to the south. He wanted to force her to take it out, but she refused, so the old boy beat others whenever he had something to do.

The woman couldn't bear it any longer, so she accused the man of cheating in the exam... Fortunately, she was sentenced to divorce in the end, but after this incident, she was very disappointed in the world, thinking about writing something Poems and words to scold the court of Song Dynasty.

The more she cursed, the more famous she became, and many people who wanted to fight back but had no choice but to think of ways to get in touch with her.

This monk Fohai, as well as the Taoist priest Huangfutan he was talking about, and many officials who were demoted from the court...

After more than ten years, he has accumulated a lot of strength.

It's just that these forces only exist among the people and cannot affect the imperial court.

Everyone who studied Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism gathered together for a common reason. They often scolded the imperial court together, and occasionally raised funds for the folks.

It stands to reason that they made such a disturbance at the foot of the Lin'an Mansion, and according to Master Qin's temper, they would have already taken them all away.

but……

The grandfather of Layman Yi An and Mrs. Qin Hui's grandfather were both former Prime Minister Wang Gui.

Everyone in the world doesn't know that Qin Hui is afraid of his wife. With this relationship, he also knows that they can't cause any trouble, so Qin Xiangye just turned a blind eye.

The group of them originally thought that returning to the north was hopeful because of successive victories. After all, Yue Fei was about to hit Bianjing.

But never thought, the emperor called the generals back again.

Everyone was disappointed, and under Huangfutan's suggestion, they came up with such an idea.

If the remonstrance of the Northern Expedition is not adopted, then it will be pretended to be the mouth of the gods. Anyway, the emperor was frightened by the Jin people and the rebellious army, and he believed in these things tightly.

Although it is not a good way, but other than that, this group of people really has no better plan.

"Originally, I planned to use the relationship between layman Yi An and Qin Xiang to let Qin Xiang introduce the young monk to you...Qin Xiang is the person who advocates peace, and the people he brought over to persuade you to go north will be more convincing. did not expect……"

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we met by the city gate, right?"

Fohai said: "You are arguing with the butler of the Qin Mansion over the defense of a city gate. This is indeed something I have never thought of."

"That person has been killed by me."

"Amitabha……"

He was chanting Amitabha Buddha, but there was no expression on Fohai's face.

The origin of this monk has been clarified, but what Liu Bang wants to find out more now is...

What did the emperor of the Song Dynasty do before?
It's just that the generals were called back, but everyone in the world felt that he was about to negotiate peace.

In the past, I just thought it might be incompetent and stupid.

But now it seems that it may be more than that simple.

He looked at Fohai and told him what happened just now.

"Are these people who want to kill people related to your group?"

Fohai knelt on the ground, his body was standing upright, after hearing this, he quickly fell down again and said:
"Guaranteed by the officials, the little monk and others only want to restore the country. If they really want to kill, then they just want to kill the golden man."

"Well," Liu Bang didn't doubt him, just heard him continue:
"However, as the little monk said just now, there are many righteous men who resist the gold, and some of them are well-known by the little monk. Could it be..."

He wanted to ask if someone had lost his mind and wanted to assassinate the emperor, but he still didn't say anything.

Liu Bang knew what he meant: "If you talk about your thoughts, it will be a crime and meritorious service, and I will also save you from the crime of treason."

Fohai was speechless... At best, he was deceiving the emperor, so why did he become a rebel?
However, this is not the time to worry about these things, he doesn't know who is trying to kill the emperor.

But if he wanted to kill Zhang Jun, he might really be able to guess it.
