Dajing Sun and Moon

Chapter 171 Are you really a wolf-hearted person?
Passing through many pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and back to the corridor, several people arrived at the study of the palace.

Jin Wang Xia Hourong entered first, and said softly, "Come in!"

Xia Houchun was calm and calm, lifted his robe and stepped over the threshold, lifting his feet.

As soon as you enter the room, you will be greeted with a refreshing aroma, refreshing your spirits.

Xia Houchun narrowed his eyes slightly, and the lingering sandalwood fragrance lingered around the cypress beams, permeating every corner, so he took a closer look.

It is known that the lingering smoke is all emitted by a silver jade Canglonglongyun pattern incense burner. Its whole body is gilded, with three legs standing on it, and a light purple bronze dragon mouth is embedded on it. Sandalwood is exhaled from the mouth, and the smoke is dense, just like a fairy house.

Xia Houchun squinted his eyes slightly, the fragrance is natural and non-toxic, but spiritual sandalwood is nothing special, even it is a luxury for cultivators, let alone ordinary people.

This incense is not only a spiritual thing, it naturally circulates in the hands of monks, and it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind. It is also beneficial for monks to break through the barriers. Even among monks, it is rare, so Xianlong money cannot be purchased, and even You can't buy it, only the jade crystals circulated in the monks, and there is a price but no market.

Nails need hundreds of jade crystals to urinate and defecate, and the real "fragrance is more expensive than gold".

And Jin Wangfu is so extravagant, the people who want to search for it must be hundreds of millions, otherwise it will be difficult to support such a huge expenditure.

Xia Houchun's eyes were flat, and he led Tian Xin, Murong Yan and others, and followed Jin Wang Xia Hourong into the center of power in Jinzhou City.

Open the brocade curtain embroidered with pale gold dragon pythons, and you can see the magnificent gilt decoration inside the house. The tables and chairs are all covered with embroidered blankets, and there are four or five colorful cushions and chairs. .

As for the rest of the silk and satin decorations, they are all over every corner of the study, creating a gorgeous and luxurious atmosphere in the originally quaint and solemn study.

Tianxin's eyes were cold, and he snorted lightly, not knowing if he was ridiculing the arrogant and luxurious life of the palace, or mocking the decline of Dongjing, which was closely related to the extravagance of the Xiahou clan.

Even Murong Yan couldn't help but secretly asked through voice transmission: "Brother, are your princes and nobles' lives so extravagant?"

Xia Houchun pursed his lips, his lips twitched, and he didn't know how to answer. Could it be that he explained to her that when he was in the East Palace, he was more extravagant than this?

Even Emperor Jing's palace and cabinet are slightly inferior?
But that was also what the original body did, and it had half a dime relationship with him, Xia Houchun.

After a few people walked around the sandalwood burner that was smoky, they saw a dark brown and yellow nanmu desk laid in front of it, covered with silk carpets of brocade brocade. There were all four treasures on the table. Sword, and mainly wolf hair.

Because of the sharp edge of the Langhao brush, which is slender and strong, there is a metaphor that "the eyes of the brush are pierced like a blade, and the sharpness of the brush is like an awl", and this object is most liked by warriors.

He moved his eyes down, engraved with the black-blue inkstone with twin dragons spit out pearls, silently, pressing several sheets of 'Yellow Tiger Skin' on the table, which seemed to be in harmony with the fragrance of ink three feet away from the side. , Waiting for the master of the study to imitate and sway.

The patterns on the front of the inkstone are gorgeous, and the hollowed-out stone patterns are exquisitely carved, complementing each other and setting off each other. They are extremely elegant and fully demonstrate the skill of the engraving craftsman.

Looking around at the tabletop, Murong Yan was startled again by the "extravagance" of the Prince Jin's Mansion. On the side wall, there was a five-claw embroidered python robe hanging on it, flamboyant and phoenix dancing, showing the willful demeanor of a vassal king.

On the side of the python robe, there is also a high-grade spirit sword with a purple gold fringe hanging on it. It looks simple and unpretentious, but it can be seen from the ferocious python head carved on the jaw of the sword.

Murong Yan's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised 'good baby'.

At this time, the room suddenly became bright and bright, but it was Xia Hourong who lit two six-sided revolving palace lanterns. He raised his eyes and stared at Xia Houchun's handsome face, his eyes seemed to be in a trance.

Xia Houchun's eyes were calm, and they looked at each other silently.

After a long while, Xia Hourong's eyes were complicated, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he said slowly: "At that time, there was a strange person beside Emperor Taizong, who claimed to be able to count my fate 500 years after Dajing, and deduced that my Dajing would be prosperous in the fifth generation. Afterwards, he laughed it off, beat him out of Taikang, and drove him to the Western Regions."

He stared at Xia Houchun with a gloomy gaze, and said inscrutablely, "Do you know who that person is?"

Xia Houchun's eyes flashed, Dajing will be prosperous in the fifth generation?

It is confirmed that it is the fifth generation, not that Guo Zuo only has five generations?
Since the founding of the Eastern Jingguo, there have been four emperors.

In addition to Taizu Xiahouyuan, there are Wendi Xiahouxu, Yuandi Xiahouzhao, plus the current Jingdi Xiahouhong, exactly four generations.

At that time, Taizu led the Xiahou clan to rebel against Yan, established a state in Taikang, and punished disobedient ministers everywhere. However, manpower was sometimes lacking, and he died in the Taiji Hall of Taikang before he had time to completely clean up the world.

The eldest son of the Taizu, Xia Houxu, came to the throne in a hurry as Emperor Wen. He thought that he would inherit the will of the Taizu and wipe out the rebels. How could he have listened to the slander, and attacked the meritorious nobles on the grounds that "to fight against the outside world, we must first settle down inside" and eventually Caused the Eight Kings Rebellion.

As a result, the flames of war reignited in Taikang City, and half of Dajing's mountains and rivers were covered with war smoke, and the people were destitute, and their lives were devastated.

Xia Houzhao, the second son of the Taizu who later sat in Youyan, took the name of "Qing Jun's side" and led eight hundred personal guards to attack thousands of miles. The civil and military officials coerced Emperor Wen out of the city to surrender.

After Emperor Wen was helped down from the dragon chair, he was not killed. Instead, he was relegated to Jinyang Hou and moved to Jinzhou, the ancestral home of the Xiahou family.

Up to now, after Shang Xia Houhong succeeded in seizing the heir, for the heart of Emperor Anwen, Xia Houxu, the Marquis of Jinyang, was made the King of Jin, that is, the father of the new King of Jin in front of him.

Half a day ago, this powerful hereditary Wang took over the throne of King Jin, forcing Taikang to hold his nose to admit it, and the line of Emperor Wen was about to be passed down to Xiahoumo's generation.

Since Yuan Emperor Xia Houzhao ascended the throne in the next month of that year, he changed his year title to Tongyuan, worked hard to rule the world, swept away the demon atmosphere in the world, and killed all ghosts and demons, and Xuanzong was forced to hold him in that corner.

Because of his outstanding military exploits and coercion at home, he was revered as Taizong.

And today's Saint Shang Xiahouhong is the third son of Emperor Taizong and the fourth emperor of the East Jing Kingdom!
Of course, if he, Xiahou Chun, succeeds in ascending the throne, he will be the fifth emperor in that population.

But the person Xia Hourong mentioned, Xia Houchun's eyes flickered, as if he had guessed something.

Sensing that Xia Houchun seemed to have realized something, Xia Hourong smiled deeply, and his eyes moved, and fell on the young and handsome monk Zhichan. There was a flash of inspiration in his eyes, which seemed to be full of deep meaning.

His tone was light, and he uttered a sentence that made everyone change their colors: "That person was the head of the Bodhi Court of Fukong Temple at that time, and the current presiding abbot!"

"Purdue!"

boom!
There seemed to be a roar in Xia Houchun's heart, and his pupils shrank.

He turned his head subconsciously and glanced at Monk Zhichan, but he saw that he was not interested, and the brocades and cultural relics around him were like floating clouds in his eyes, not worth a full meal.

In a trance, he suddenly heard the name of the abbot, and his expression was slightly startled, a little surprised.

Looking up, he saw Jin Wang Xiahou Rong was looking at him with scorching eyes. After understanding what he just said, he immediately scoffed: "So, you want to say that Fukong Temple has planned for a long time and deliberately approached this place?" kid?"

Xia Houchun kept his composure, and only listened to King Jin's calm voice: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. How can this king not know what your Buddhist sect is thinking? That's all for Master Dongjing."

He looked directly at Xia Houchun, with a serious face and said: "Do you know that the reason why your grandfather expelled the Buddhist sect back then was because he knew the harm of this religion. They didn't work hard, didn't pay food, didn't pay taxes, and didn't do anything. Nong Sang is nothing more than that, and he often confuses the people to plot against the law and make troubles. Such rebellious actions naturally aroused Taizong's wrath, and he had no choice but to expel them from our Dajing Kingdom."

He was earnest, with a gesture of sincere remonstrance: "Nephew, don't you want to seek skins from tigers and lure wolves into your house!"

The monk blinked his eyes, looked at Xia Houchun, then looked at King Jin, and suddenly grinned: "Yes, you guessed it right, this happened back then, but the poor monk has no sugar, so I can't reward you."

Secretly but deflated, borrowing a knife to kill someone?Isn't this obvious?

Besides, he didn't call it murder with a borrowed knife, but called "concluding a treaty of friendship and mutual assistance".

In addition, Nongsang and the others admit it, but they also assisted Taizong in conquest of non-officials and enlightened the people. It can be regarded as a stable party and comforted the people.

As for the theory of bewitching the people to rebel, that's a bit of nonsense, not to mention the close relationship between Xuanzong and the Dajing court, but the fact that the whole Jingguo regards Xuanzong as the state religion makes it difficult for Buddhism to gain a firm foothold here. Not to mention instigating and inciting the people to rebel.

However, Shi Chan didn't explain too much. After all, the Buddhism and Taizong had a quarrel, the Taoism and the Buddhism confronted each other, and the later Taizong and the Taoism were in harmony with each other and so on. I can't figure it out.

Xia Houchun naturally knows a lot of inside stories, and also understands the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, the confrontation between immortals and mortals, and the open and dark contest between the imperial power in the mortal world and the Taoist religious power. Got lost.

After all, the 'separation' between Dajing and Xuanzong has long been irretrievable. If this is the case, then the 'marriage' between Dajing and Buddhism is the general trend.

As for the old grievances from back then, it is no longer important, not to mention that the man has passed away, so it is meaningless to care about it. On the contrary, it seems that Xia Hourong is a bit petty to sow discord in it.

Thoughts turned and thoughts surged, Xia Houchun frowned slightly and gradually eased. After looking at Shi Chan, he smiled lightly at Xia Hourong, and said with a half-smile: "Why, Uncle Wang, can't you afford to lose?"

The sandalwood incense rose in the study room, and the smoke hung down like flowing clouds, making Xia Hourong's face a little cloudy and unpredictable.

After a long time, he exhaled lightly.

The warmth in the eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference and ruthlessness, and a deep scheming and austerity that belonged to the hero emerged spontaneously.

He put his sleeves back, glanced at Shi Chan, looked at Xia Houchun expressionlessly, and asked without answering: "So, His Royal Highness is determined to collude with foreign cults and become enemies of Daoism?" ?”

His tone became colder, his momentum suddenly changed, and his alienated attitude of rejecting people for thousands of miles was fully revealed.

Even Murong Yan was in admiration for the quick turnaround.

Tianxin snorted coldly, "Isn't it enough to be like this earlier, why bother to be so hypocritical, it makes people sick for no reason."

The atmosphere in the room was dignified, the two sides were at war with each other, and there was a tendency to kill if there was a disagreement.

However, Xia Houchun didn't realize it, and replied with a smile: "Is it because my nephew is not obedient, so he will be hacked to death by the swordsman in the house?"

The Tianxin Token quietly appeared in Tianxin's hand, Murongyan snorted coldly, and stood beside Xiahouchun vigilantly, always looking forward to Xiahouchun's horse.

But Shi Chan didn't care, she pursed her mouth secretly, and stood shoulder to shoulder with the swordsman, waiting for something to happen.

Xia Hourong's eyes were gloomy, he stared straight at Xia Houchun, and said word by word: "Do you know what you are doing?"

"Unite with a western Buddhist sect with ulterior motives to counter the entire Taoist sect?"

"That's not enough. Could it be that you still want to drag the whole Dajing to be buried with you?"

His gray hair fluttered back from his temples, and his burning eyes seemed to penetrate the depths of Xia Houchun's eyes, to see clearly the great ambition in his heart.

"Xiahouchun, remember, if you want to die yourself, I won't stop you! But if you want to drag the Xiahou clan to die with you, you must first pass through my Jin Palace! Also ask the ten people outside the city. Wan Tieqi disagrees!"

"It's not too late to rein in the precipice, listen to Uncle Wang's advice, immediately cut off contact with the Buddhist sect, and go to Tiandu Peak in person to meet the real head teacher, apologize, and ask him to forgive your sins, so I am Dajing Only then will the country not be destroyed, and the Xiahou clan will not be destroyed!"

"You, do you understand?"

The voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing continuously in the study.

For a long time.

However, Xia Houchun only had a calm face, calm and composed.

"Finished?"

He raised his eyes, looked at the other party quietly, and spit out this sentence.

Xia Hourong's face darkened, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he hated iron but not steel.

The pavilion was silent, and the sandalwood was wafting. Several people either watched with cold eyes, or smiled half-smiles, or satirized and disdainful.

Xia Houchun walked towards it expressionlessly, and his eyes fell on a blue and white jade pot spring vase with a thin neck, hanging belly and round feet. Dozens of painting tubes were inserted in it.

He took out one, untied the rope and unfolded it. There are hundreds of miniature mountains and mountains, including high mountains and flowing water, shallow streams and waterfalls, rivers, lakes and seas, as well as water villages and wild cities, fishing boats and yachts, bridges, waterwheels, shops and pavilions. The mountains and rivers are majestic and the city is prosperous.

There are also birds and beasts, rare and exotic objects, soaring and gathering, with myriad postures, every detail is fully visible, lifelike, presenting a vicissitudes of life.

"Back then, Gaozu had just captured Tai'an, the former capital city of Yan, and he hadn't rewarded the soldiers yet. You fell in love with this 'Jiangshan Sheji Map', and the old man gave it to you without further ado."

Murong Yan was moved when he heard the picture of Jiangshan Sheji. This famous painting was the pinnacle work of Wang Ximeng, a former scholar of Yan Hanlin Academy. It was originally ordered by Emperor Yan to record the magnificence and magnificence of the mountains, rivers and rivers within his jurisdiction after he toured the world.

Because of its majestic mountains, secluded rocks, deep valleys and precipitous valleys, as well as prosperous pavilions and pavilions, it was named "the best picture in the world".

As soon as he looked away, he raised the word "Jiangshan Shejitu" on the left, and only wrote "Yi".

After wrapping it up, Xia Houchun took out another one. It was a picture of pines and cypresses celebrating birthdays. Under the pines and cypresses, everyone was wearing red and purple. prostrate.

"This is the third year of Lingwu, Taizong's grandpa traveled to Taihang Mountain, and ordered the accompanying minister Dai Xixiu to draw the "Pine and Cypress Birthday Picture".

It was originally given to my father, the Emperor Taizong, to reward him for his achievements in stabilizing the rear without chaos, and governing the government without blame when Taizong conquered the disobedient ministers. The emperor will give it to you privately. "

Xia Hourong's face was cloudy and uncertain, his thick lips trembled slightly, and he pursed his lips.

Xia Houchun turned around, and his eyes fell on a white jade Bodhisattva statue on the decorative frame. The statue is slender and slim, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, full of warmth and softness.

And it is a simple toga and long skirt that belonged to the dress of the former Qin Dynasty.

His eyes were dark, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "And this 'Xuanyu Empress Statue' was originally a gift from the Nanzhao Emperor who ordered his daughter Princess Nanping to pay tribute to the court in the fifth year of Tianhong. In the Tibetan mansion, this is not the only thing, you have the audacity to kidnap Princess Nanping and torture her to death.

After this incident was introduced to Nanzhao, the emperor was furious, and immediately separatist the thirty states and counties, coerced millions of people to rebel, once invaded the southern border of Dajing, killed tens of thousands of our people, and attracted the Nankang army to suppress them. Only when you defeat it will you return. "

"At that time, my father was in charge of Nankang military affairs. Because of this incident, not only the Nankang army was demoted again and again, but also demoted from Taikang Twelve Guards to local garrisons, and then demoted to guarding the border and guarding the rampant poisonous miasma. The land of Nanzhao."

"My royal father was deprived of all military power for a time. He watched helplessly as the great opportunity to fight for the crown prince slipped away, and finally he had no choice but to end up participating in the battle for the heir apparent."

He suddenly turned around, and said word by word: "But father didn't blame you. He took into account the love and credit left by Emperor Wen back then. Not only did he never arrest and punish you, but he also made a decree to comfort the Jin Palace and comfort you. .”

Xia Hourong lowered his eyebrows, expressionless.

Xia Houchun was about to be laughed out of anger, stepped forward suddenly, clasped the cold wall vigorously, pointed to the pair of embroidered boa robes hanging on the wall, and asked:

"And this five-claw python robe, who gave you the courage to embroider five-claws? Don't you know that according to my Dajing law, five-claws are exclusive to the emperor, and princes everywhere can only wear 'four-claws', but what about you? ?
Aside from embroidering this presumptuous thing, it is still placed here for the world to see. Are you really blind when you embroider clothes?Do you think we are all fools?Don't you know that the memorial to impeach you can't even let Wenyuan Pavilion go? "

Xia Hourong was short of breath, staring at Xia Houchun, almost on the verge of eruption.

Xia Houchun stepped forward and poked Xia Hourong's heart and lungs, "Uncle Wang, ask yourself, Grandpa Taizong and my father haven't treated you well enough? If you were to sit in my father's seat, what would you do? ?”

"Is it to forcefully cut down the vassal, eradicate the Jin Palace, and completely eradicate the grass? Or has it been more than [-] years of soft-heartedness, and has allowed it to bully and challenge the patience of the court one after another?"

Seeing this scene, Xia Houchun almost laughed angrily. Seeing that he was still not convinced, he immediately pointed at the other party and said sharply:
"Let me tell you, just because you insulted the princess of Nanzhao and caused a war between the two countries, and the people were almost wiped out, is enough to chop off your head! Not to mention the crime of usurpation that you have committed repeatedly these years, if it weren't for you For the sake of Emperor Wen and the old prince, your Prince Jin Mansion has long been trampled to the ground by the cavalry army."

"enough!!!"

Xia Hourong suddenly let out a loud cry, and his breath swelled, like a lone wolf devouring people, staring at Xia Houchun, and exhaled white air from his nostrils.

"Not enough!!" Xiahou Chun raised his eyebrows and shouted sharply.

He pointed to his head, his face was full of hair, his eyes were sharp, and he said word by word:
"Didn't you ask me why I want to be an enemy of Taoism? Use your brain to think about it. Grandpa Taizong's martial arts and martial arts are the best in Kyushu. His mind and martial arts are far better than the emperors of all generations. He is so wise. Why did such a powerful person suddenly die?"

"And my father has always worked hard to govern, and the spring and autumn are at their peak, why would he disregard my Dajing, Jiangshan, and the country, and no longer forbear, but suddenly he is willing to take the risk to kiss the Tiandu Peak?"

"Haven't you ever thought about the reason for this?"

With burning eyes, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Or, are you really wolf-hearted?"

　Added a plot, sent it out first, and there are more than 1 later.And continue to write after waking up, and send it out together after repairing.
