Chapter 75 The governor who resigned, the priest of Xiling, and the little people also want to live!
Ten months later, it’s summer solstice!
As the sun sets and dusk draws near, by the shore of Yanming Lake, there is finally a little evening wind blowing.
The willow trees planted by the lake, with their thin willow branches, also dance with the wind, making the swaying even more peaceful.
After the heat of the past few days has blown away, the pair of mandarin ducks on the lake are still very affectionate, except for the occasional fight.
Ning Que, the Thirteenth Master of the Academy, is still being held in prison. I heard that he will be held in the backyard of Tianlao.
The gentlemen on the second floor at the back of the academy were already very calm and did not make any move.
On the contrary, Yan Se, who had only one disciple, gave Ning Que the identity of Xiling after smoothing the relationship and submitting to the temple.
Naturally, no one can touch Ning Que, who is famous in both the academy and the temple, and no one dares to touch him!
In the corridor on the side of the Chen Mansion facing the lake, Chen Xuan tirelessly wrote dragon chapters and phoenix seal characters.
At this moment, Qing He led the former Governor of Chang'an to the corridor, and said: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Shangguan has arrived."
Compared with before, Shangguan Yangyu was full of vicissitudes at this time!
It's not as good as it used to be, in the south of Chang'an, under the mountains.
Although Shangguan Yangyu didn't know the dragon seal and phoenix seal script, he still praised: "Mr. Chen, you are worthy of being a true Taoist cultivator?"
He had no way to go, but after taking a step back, he suddenly became enlightened.
Now that I am about to leave Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty, I naturally have to tell the past events one by one.
He had already offended the academy, but he didn't dare to offend again, a Taoist really cultivated! Chen Xuan stopped the wolf hair in his hand, put it behind the pen holder, and said with a smile: "Shangguan Qingtian, enforces the law impartially, and is not afraid of the powerful. Today's visit probably means that the previous assassination case has been settled."
When I first arrived in Chang'an, I was assassinated. Although there was no serious injury, there is an unknown fire in the god of knowledge, which is difficult to extinguish! The huge city of Chang'an is so intertwined that even if you are a true Taoist cultivator, it would be difficult to sort it out.
Shangguan Yangyu sighed heavily: "Mr. Chen, the assassination case that day had a result, but I didn't dare to say it at that time."
"I'm resigning now, and I don't plan to stay in Chang'an anymore, so I came to visit Mr. Chen to clarify the truth about the assassination case."
"In the case of the assassination, the mastermind behind the scenes was an official of the Queen's family, the Minister of the Household Department!"
"After investigation, no one instigated it, it was all for the sake of asking for credit and reward, and they did it arbitrarily!"
Among the six departments of the Tang Dynasty, except for the officials and heavenly officials, the household department was the richest. It seemed that the nobles in the household department were all upright and upright, but behind their backs, none of them had thousands of acres of fertile land in their hometown.
It is also common sense to raise the dead. There are many accounts in the household department, and most of them need to be silenced.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Then, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, how should we deal with people who raise dead men and hire murderers to kill them?"
Shangguan Yangyu smiled awkwardly and said: "The law of the Tang Dynasty cannot be doubted. My master's personal disciple was once a secret guard, and everything he did was to uphold the law of the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, all the officials in the court believe it, but the people of the Tang Kingdom don't know why the secret guards are?"
"All the family members of the victim committed suicide by drowning themselves in the river. Therefore, the Minister of Household Affairs raised the dead men, hired murderers to kill, and assassinated Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess. She was sentenced to execution."
"Dali Temple has already conducted a review. Let's choose a day to kill him!"
Chen Xuan looked at the scene of the tiny waves being swallowed by other waves on the surface of Yanming Lake, and laughed loudly: "It's all like this!"
"The princes of the Tang Dynasty are very proficient in this way."
"The bitter master died, and no one told him. The dark guard was the pioneer of the country, and let a servant roll all over the ground."
"Academy Thirteen, it will be released at a certain date."
There is no right or wrong, nor is there any distinction between black and white. It is just a matter of vendetta in the mortal world.
According to Buddhism, Ning Que's murder is the cause, and going to the prison is the result, the cause and effect recurs and never ends.
According to Taoism, if Ning Que commits murder, he will bear the burden of being sent to the heavenly prison. If he does not have a master, Ning Que will not be able to bear the burden.
The raging beasts of the dynasty, why be afraid of the soldiers on one side, they are so afraid that they are always the back hill of the academy! Shangguan Yangyu stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Thirteen will be released soon. I have also heard about the old events in the Year of Tianqi."
"Zhang Yiqi, the censor of the Inspectorate, died miserably. It would be better to have him beheaded."
"I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I am very afraid of Mr. Thirteen of the Academy."
"My family is humble and I even believe in Haotian, but I can only follow him, so I cleared up the relationship and took the path of Priest Mo Li, taking the position of a black priest in Qi State."
"I don't want to leave the Tang Dynasty, but Mr. Thirteenth of the academy seems to have God's help!"
"Mr. Chen, farewell!"
"If we are destined, see you in Momoyama!"
Then Shangguan Yangyu got up and left, declined Qinghe's offer to see him off, and left the Chen Mansion alone.
Those who wanted to curry favor with Mr. Thirteen of the academy dared to kill Shangguan Yangyu who had resigned from office.
But he didn't dare to intercept and kill, Shangguan Yangyu, the priest of the Qi State in the Xiling Temple, is a pawn in the world.
But being a chess piece is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no possibility of becoming a chess piece?
The temple needs Shangguan Yangyu to be intercepted and killed, so Shangguan Yang Yu can get the position of priest. No one in the Tang Dynasty dared to intercept and kill Shangguan Yangyu, who resigned from the official position.
"This Lord Shangguan sees clearly, he is not a corrupt scholar!"
"I'm looking for wealth and fame, and even more so, I'm looking for a living. Very few people in the Tang Dynasty can match this!"
Shangguan Yangyu, who has been begging for money for more than ten years, rushed to the Qi Kingdom Temple to beg for his life after begging Shangguan Qingtian's name.
It can be said that he took advantage of everything and never suffered any losses.
Qing He, who was standing aside, asked with confusion: "Mr. Chen, Lord Shangguan resigned and took over the responsibilities of the temple."
"If the law of the Tang Dynasty is used, it is collusion with the enemy. How can we be transparent?"
As the Governor of Chang'an, but throwing himself into the arms of Xiling, such a person is already as loyal as a traitor.
Chen Xuan looked at Qinghe and asked, "Qinghe, if you take over the duties of the temple, you will be collaborating with the enemy!"
"I'm afraid there are very few of the Gonggun princes in this court who have never collaborated with the enemy."
"The younger generation of the noble family went to Xiling to study and take up a job. Is there anyone else to investigate?"
"What will happen if we find out? Qing He should look away in this world, not see through it."
There are only two kinds of people in this world, one who really doesn't understand, and the other who pretends to be confused.
For the people of the Tang Dynasty, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty swept through all the countries in the world, and no one could stop them.
But are the nobles in the court all fools?Is it easy to pit one country against the world? Qing He frowned tightly and said: "Qing He understands, but I still don't understand. Is there something wrong with the academy's teaching?"
In the past years at the Princess Mansion, she had also read many books published by the academy.
Could it be that the books published by the academy also have errors? Chen Xuan said calmly: "Even the Master can make mistakes, how can the Master's descendants be without mistakes?"
"It's just that because of my high level of cultivation and seniority, few people dare to speak out."
"But I am different. I am responsible for this life and I am not afraid of those gentlemen."
There is no right or wrong, it is just one person, not all sentient beings! Because there is right and wrong, it is for all beings, not just one person!
