subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 88 The rain is coming

Half an hour later, Huang Ying, dressed in men's attire, swaggered into the legendary Southern Shaolin with Zhu Wen and Xu Huaiyu. Accompanied by Master Guanxiu, she visited the Daxiong Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, and the monks. Martial arts field and other places.Of course, I also saw that stubborn old man Zhou Pu.

From this point of view, Zhu Wen could see that this Shaolin Temple might really be the legendary Southern Shaolin Temple. No matter in terms of the architectural style of the temple or the surrounding geographical environment, it was surprisingly similar to Songshan Shaolin Temple.He really doubted whether the statement that Nan Shaolin was in Putian that the experts and scholars of later generations said was correct.

Because it was already dark, the three stayed overnight in the guest room in the temple, and left at noon the next day. Before leaving, Zhu Wen did not forget to play a joke with the stubborn old man Zhou Pu. Those two lines of Zhou Pu's poem came out: "The power of Yu is not everywhere, and the sound of the river flows eastward."

He deliberately pronounced the word "West" into the word "Dong", turned around and left after finishing the reading.Out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance behind him, wanting to see the reaction of that stubborn old man Zhou Pu.

Sure enough, seeing Zhou Pu chasing him out from behind quickly, muttering something while walking, Zhu Wen secretly laughed in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a pedantic old guy, he can fall for the same trick twice!" , pulled Huang Ying and Xu Huaiyu out of the temple quickly, got on their horses and left.That old guy Zhou Pu actually chased him to the middle of the mountain, and then returned to the temple angrily under the repeated persuasion of Master Guanxiu.

Huang Ying saw it from afar, and she fell down laughing, and Zhu Wen laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.Only Xu Huaiyu didn't understand why, he didn't know what the two of them were laughing at, and he didn't know why the old man behind him persisted in chasing him so far.If you don't understand, don't think about it. This is Xu Huaiyu's way of doing things, and he doesn't ask. In his heart, Zhu Wenwen and Huang Ying are his bosses and masters. How can a servant who is himself ask random questions?

Fearing that Zhu Zhen and Zhu Cun would not be able to control the army, and that there would be some trouble in Fuzhou City, Zhu Wen and others rushed to Fuzhou City.

But just three days later, Huang Chao didn't know which literati said that there was a famous scholar in Fuzhou, Zhou Pu, who was so talented and upright, but he was indifferent to fame and wealth. Officials, all of them were rejected by him.

After hearing this, Huang Chao became fond of talents, and when he heard that Zhou Pu had failed many trials when he was young, he thought of what happened to him when he was young, and felt sympathetic to each other.He actually ordered Meng Kai to go to recruit Zhou Pu in person, and told Meng Kai to invite him nicely and not to frighten him.

Unexpectedly, after Meng Kai explained his purpose to Zhou Pu, Zhou Pu actually said: "I am a scholar, if I am not subdued by the emperor, how can I be a thief?"

Meng Kai was patient and persuasive, but Zhou Pu insisted on not obeying, and continued to speak ill at each other. Meng Kai was originally a violent person, so how could he have such patience?In a rage, he chopped off Zhou Pu's head.People can't be resurrected after death, Huang Chao could only sigh inwardly when he heard the news, scolded Meng Kai a little and then passed.

After Zhu Wen heard the news, he secretly scolded Zhou Pu for being short-hearted, old guy, what are you calling him!If you don't want to go, just politely refuse him and that's all. Why pretend to be aloof?This is good, the head has moved, right?Bai became friends with the old monk Guanxiu, and he didn't even learn one ten thousandth of his tact.

On the mountain behind the Shaolin Temple in Nine Lotus Mountains, Elder Guanxiu buried his old friend Zhou Pu with his own hands. There were two lines of tears on his face. He was ashamed and angry at his cowardice, but he still didn't have the courage to fight Meng Kai.It's not because of my own safety, but I don't want to implicate the whole temple because of myself.Although there are more than a thousand monks and soldiers in the temple, they cannot match Huang Chao's tens of thousands of soldiers.

Elder Guanxiu finished burning the paper money, and wept bitterly for a while, the sun was already setting, but he still refused to leave.Guan Xi, who had been standing behind him, persuaded: "Brother, it's getting late, let's go back."

Guanxiu turned around suddenly, looked at his junior brother Guanxi with shining eyes, and said slowly: "Junior brother Guanxi, can you do me a favor!" It had been many years since he had shown such an expression.

Grandmaster Guanxi said: "Senior brother, please tell me, as long as the younger brother does the way, go through fire and water without frowning... But the senior brother wants me to kill the thief Meng Kai, so as to avenge Lay Zhou?"

Guanxiu clasped his hands together, proclaimed the Buddha's name, and said: "Brother Guanxi, we are monks, how can we shout and kill like bandits? Brother is asking you to go to Runzhou to invite the governor of the Zhenhai Navy, Datang The number one military god of the dynasty——Gao Pian! Make sure to invite General Gao’s army to central Fujian, and I will arrange for the best soldiers in the temple to secretly cooperate with General Gao. It’s best to wipe out all these gangsters, so as to comfort Brother Zhou’s spirit in heaven!”

Smooth and amiable people generally seldom get angry. The city and habits they have developed over the years make them look like they will never get angry in the eyes of outsiders, but once such people get really angry, the anger will be like a flame It burns like a fire, enough to burn everything!

……

How did Meng Kai think that killing an insignificant acid scholar would invite Gao Pian, the most taboo of the rebels?If he knew that there would be such a result, he would definitely not be like Meng Lang. Although he is irritable and reckless, he is not a fool after all!He even knows Gao Pian's power better than others!

Even Zhu Wen didn't expect such serious consequences, so he is still making unremitting efforts to make Fuzhou a long-term base.Encourage farming, build water conservancy, revise laws with Zhang Yan...

The days passed day by day, and the world of Datang was still in a precarious state.Everything seems to be the same as before, but who knows, this is just the eve of the coming rain...

The Hedong army rebelled again and killed Cui Jikang, the Jiedu envoy, and the imperial court transferred Li Kan, the Jiedu envoy of Binning, to be the Jiedu envoy of Hedong.

The Tianping Army Jiedushi Zhang Yang (the first work is Zhang Jian, because Zhang Yang was used in the previous article, for the sake of correspondence, it is better to use Zhang Yang here, readers do not make bricks!) Because he missed Huang Chao's plan to surrender a year ago, he was arrested by the court. Those senior officials scolded him bloody, but because they couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, they let him continue to be his Tianping Army Jiedushi.

But Zhang Yang has been brooding over that incident in his heart, and soon became depressed and fell ill, and died in March of the sixth year of Qianfu.His subordinate Cui Junyu saw that Wang Jingwu of the Pinglu Army took advantage of Song Wei's death to become Jiedushi, and he wanted to enjoy himself, so he gave him a gourd like that.Unexpectedly, he kept his funeral in secret, and became a Jiedu envoy in the city of Yunzhou.

Unexpectedly, Cao Quanzhen, the governor of Zizhou who was in Zizhou, heard the news. Cao Quanzhen always hated the incident of Cui Junyu dying outside Song City. How could he miss such a great opportunity for revenge?At present, he led Zhu Xuan and other three brothers to attack Yunzhou and killed Cui Junyu.The imperial court pushed the boat along the way, and in order to show Cao Quanzhen's credit, the imperial court put the position of Tianping Army Jiedu envoy on Cao Quanzhen's head, which can be regarded as a crooked attack.

The only thing that comforted the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty was that Cui Anqian, who was transferred from the Zhongwu Army to Xichuan as Jiedushi, punished the bandits, reorganized the army, and trained soldiers as soon as he took office. Xi Chuan, who was strong and full of bandits, disappeared within a few days.People have to look at Cui Anqian with admiration. For a while, Cui Anqian was regarded by the imperial court as a role model for all vassals and towns.

And Gao Pian, who was in Runzhou, also reported to the court while organizing an army, preparing for another surprise attack on Huang Chao's rebels.Will the number one military god of the Tang Dynasty, who has never been defeated for decades, return triumphantly this time as before?How will Huang Chao and his generals respond...
