Chapter 400 One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha
Three thousand miles of Guanlong Yuye, there were waves due to the death of Qin Shubao.
Now, the sky is full of passionate fighting spirit and angry voices; on the contrary, Qin Mubai's private house is full of peace and tranquility.
He is enjoying the joy of family.
The appearance of the small building is like an angel coming to Qin Mubai. Only when he really becomes a father can he understand how his parents have feelings for him, and how great it will be.
For the death of the baby... Now Qin Mubai will also be willing to do this for the small building.
Behind the Qiongyu Tower, there is a small flower garden cultivated by a novice of Wu Mei Niang, which has planted many flowers unique to Chang'an and Jiangnan. It's not very expensive, but it's absolutely rare in Helong. I don't know when she practiced such excellent gardening and can feed them.
The family, in the green meadow of the flower nursery, sat and lay on a soft carpet, taking the small building as the core and enjoying the time leisurely.
Wu Mei Niang and Princess Gao Yang have been thinking that if Chen Yan and Xiao Lou had not appeared at this time, now Qin Mubai really don't know what it would be like. No matter how much grief and indignation Qin Mubai put in his heart and how much pressure he endured, at least now, the smile on his face is comfortable and relaxed.
"Yan, when did you come to Lanzhou? Why didn't you come to see me?" Qin Mubai asked.
Chen Yan smiled and said, "It was about half a month ago. You were busy at that time. I didn't want to disturb you when you were doing business, so I took the small building to find a place to live, and then I paid a visit to my godfather first, where I met Her Royal Highness.
Qin Mubai glanced at Princess Gaoyang and said, "Ling'er, you're not bad now. You can pretend to be in your heart, can you hide it from me?"
Princess Gaoyang was waiting to argue. Chen Yan hurriedly said, "Don't blame the prince and the princess. I strongly ask them to hide it from you first. Anyway, now that we are together, that's enough, isn't it? Don't worry about the past."
Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "Yan, I know you have always wanted to avoid me. Now, you don't have the power and qualification. Even if you don't recognize me as a man, the little building can't live without my father, can it?"
"Oh, you frivolous and irresponsible man! If you get a bargain, you will be good, and you will take the small building to blackmail Chen Yan!" Princess Gaoyang shouted anly, "You don't even think about how hard it is for her to be alone in October?" He also took the small building from Youzhou to Lanzhou, and how hard it was - you have to compensate others well!"
"No need." Chen Yan smiled and said, "I have been walking around the world for more than ten years, but I am used to being alone. Xiaolouer has been very obedient since I was in my stomach, but it didn't make me suffer much - by the way, when it comes to Youzhou, Mu Bai, do you still remember an old friend?
"Who is it?" Qin Mubai didn't react for a moment.
"Stupid! Of course, it's my third brother, Li Ke, the king of Wu!" Princess Gaoyang said quickly, "He came back from Goguryeo and temporarily served as the governor of Youzhou on behalf of the uncle of Jiangxia!"
"King Wu..." Qin Mubai frowned slightly and nodded, "Have you seen him in Youzhou?"
"Have you seen it? I have lived in his palace for more than a month. He regarded me as his sister-in-law and treated me politely. He had to recognize Xiaolou as his goddaughter and play with me on his knees every day. Chen Yan smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't want to come to Lanzhou. One is that it is too far away, and the other is to see you in the war. I'm afraid of causing trouble to you, so I'll just wait until the day to recognize you. But the king of Wu advised me to come earlier, the better. So, I came."
"This is interesting." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "There are not many people in the world who can persuade you."
"Wu Wang is one." Chen Yan smiled.
"Why?" Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mei Niang asked curiously.
"Because he once ran back to Xiangyang from Chang'an to see the princess off." Chen Yan said, "He is a person who understands, cherishes and cherishes affection. Therefore, I would like to listen to what he said.
"What did he say?" Qin Mubai asked.
"He said, we can't impose our own ideas on children, and we can't selfishly refute children's happiness because of our own gains and losses. The small building needs a father, and he can't be slow every day. Chen Yan said, "He told me that even if you don't want Qin Mubai as a man, you must let Xiaolou have a father."
"That makes sense." Princess Gaoyang and Wu Mei Niang said in one voice.
Qin Mubai nodded with a smile and said, "It's still the King of Wu who knows me."
"Yes! You two are like-minded and in collusion! If you don't do good things together, you are the best at picking flowers and making trouble. Princess Gaoyang said anly, "I guess, my third brother knows best how much you like Sister Yan, right?"
Chen Yan and Wu Mei Niang suddenly laughed. Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Linger, look at your virtue now. Where is the dignity of a princess? It's obviously a little daughter-in-law who has been jealous!"
"I'm the little daughter-in-law you are marrying from the famous matchmaker of the Qin family. What's wrong with this!" Princess Gaoyang became more and more angry. She put her hands on her waist and said proudly, "Inside, Mei Niang and Sister Yan are like sisters; but outside, nominally, I am the princess given by the emperor and the mistress of the Qin family! Now, my mother announces that Qin Mubai, you are not allowed to provoke women in the future! The three of us at home is enough! Did you hear that?"
Everyone laughed and leaned forward and backward!
On the contrary, he was shocked by the small building that was lying on the ground and having fun, and cried loudly.
"No laughing! ...Little building, don't cry! Did you hear it!" Princess Gaoyang jumped on her feet in a hurry.
No one paid attention to her anymore and coaxed the small building.
At this time, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Li Xueyan, the princess of Wencheng, came together.
"The prince, the uncle, the godfather..." Qin Mubai and others got up to welcome him.
When Xiao Louer saw Li Daozong and Li Xueyan, she laughed and was very happy. She got up and called childishly, " Grandpa! Auntie... want a hug!"
Li Daozong laughed and picked her up, kissed her on the face and handed her over to Li Xueyan, and then called Qin Mubai aside.
"Mu Bai, this is interesting." Li Daozong took out a letter and trembled and said, "Guess what this is?"
Qin Mubai glanced at it and said with a cold smile, "I've been bothering the prince to take charge of the affairs of the governor's office in my place these days. Isn't this the war letter from the Garqin Mausoleum?"
"Smart." Li Daozong handed him the letter and said, "The boy's plan on the front line of Gaochang failed, and the battle of Yuyang Erguan started ahead of schedule. In this way, the treacherous plan to lure you and me at the beginning also failed. In order not to lose face, he took the initiative to write a letter to Lanzhou.
"Let me have a look." Qin Mubai read the letter.
There are only eleven words in the letter - "The moon is full in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qingluo can hunt. Do you dare to come?"
"Crazy!" Qin Mubai snorted coldly, folded the letter well and put it in his arms.
"What are you going to do now?" Li Daozong asked.
Qin Mubai raised the middle finger of his right hand and showed it to Li Daozong.
Li Daozong was immediately surprised and asked, "What's wrong with your hand? When did you get injured and wrapped up?
"I wrote a blood book to the court!" Qin Mubai frowned and said, "Yesterday, it was delivered urgently for 800 miles."
"What?" Li Daozong was surprised and said, "Originally, I was going to recruit all the generals and people under the jurisdiction of the governor's office to jointly write to the court. Why did you take this step first?"
"No need." Qin Mubai smiled faintly and said, "Yu Gong, the imperial court appointed me as the governor of Lanzhou, second only to the governor of Anxi. Now that most of the guards have been martyred, I should take up this heavy responsibility. There is no need for my subordinates and the people to share the pressure for me. Please fight, it must be initiated by me. In private, the father does not avenge and does not share the sky. I don't want the people in the court to think that I, Qin Mubai, are still afraid of death at this time! I'm the only one who invited me to fight. When it comes, whether I agree or not, I will fight! If you want to sanction and behead after the event, you will come to me, Qin Mubai!"
"Good man!" Li Daozong praised, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since the blood book has been on, you should start actively preparing for the war. Now, the war in Yuyang Erguan is in full swing. Su Dingfang still doesn't know whether he can withstand it. Whether he needs to send troops and assistance, it's up to you. In addition, the military plan we formulated before for the Chalqin Mausoleum will also be reorganized, because the original dark war has become the current Ming War. The two sides are bound to have a fierce battle between Qingluoyuan Mingdao and Mingqiang. This will be a rare battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty! I estimate that Tubo's Zanpu Abandoned Zong Zan Zan will come to the battlefield in person, supervise the army, and at that time, they may increase their troops.
"The prince is really thinking about it!" Qin Mubai nodded and said, "As soon as my father died, Xue Rengui left north, which announced the failure of the layout of the Chalqin Mausoleum. As a result, the battle of Yuyang Erguan officially began, and the Tang Dynasty and Tubo began a full-scale war. At this time, who cares about whether to be close or not? - More than 600,000 soldiers in Tubo, one-third of whom had already been concentrated under the command of Kunlun Mountain's garqinling. Now, I guess they will send more troops to attack the second pass of Yuyang again, and they will also send more troops in Kunlun Golmud. I even suspect that they will attack the south and Xichuan area of the Tang Dynasty sword at the same time, so that we can't separate ourselves and divide our troops. I have mentioned this in the blood book, and I hope the court can take precautions as soon as possible. And I said that there is no need for the court to give me a soldier, a pawn, a money and a grain. I, Qin Mubai, bring my own Lanzhou father and old soldiers and civilians to resist foreign enemies to kill bandits and cut thieves!"
"Hmm..." Li Daozong nodded slowly and was speechless for a long time. Then he said, "So in the Yuyang area, are you going to send more troops?"
"It won't increase." Qin Mubai said, "I believe in Su Dingfang. Although he has only 30,000 horses in total, with his ability and Yuyang Erguan natural danger, it is enough to resist 100,000 soldiers. Now, I will focus all my energy on conscription and training new divisions. It's only about a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have to hurry up. Half a month later, I personally led the main army of Lanzhou to Dafeichuan to supervise the battle against Tubo. Here in Lanzhou, please ask the prince to preside over the overall situation for me.
"No problem." Li Daozong nodded and said, "This time, I will also return to my youth, and I will be frivolous when you are young. At that time, the court will plead guilty and sanction it, and count me as one!"
"Who dares to ask for the crime and punish you!" Princess Gaoyang chatted with Wu Mei Niang and others quite far away, but she kept listening to them with her ears open. Li Daozong's voice was heard by her. She suddenly became angry and ran over and said, "Uncle, I just want to know who in the court dares to punish you and Mu Bai? Did you do something wrong? Are you treasoning the enemy or humiliating the country?
"Ling'er, you don't understand the matter..." Li Daozong said.
"Who said I didn't understand!" Princess Gaoyang raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Those so-called ministers sit in the well and watch the sky and don't want to make progress. They hold the word 'mediocre' and do nothing. They don't allow people like Uncle Huang and Mu Bai to make contributions and expand their territory! I want to say that the Tang Dynasty has been founded for more than 20 years. Every day, singing and dancing is peaceful. In fact, it is dangerous! Look, what has happened in the past few years - my brother's rebellion was killed; the prince's rebellion was abolished; his father said that he was ill and ignored state affairs, and the child slaves supervised the country's swigs were in power; Goguryeo ignored the Tang Dynasty and attacked Baekje and Silla to dominate the peninsula; Xue Yantuo was increasingly ready to move his eyes. Look at the second Jieli Khan on the grassland; the northern court of the Western Turks has almost dominated the Western Regions, and can instigate a small country like Gao Chang to fight against the Tang Dynasty to attack my marshal; Tubo soldiers Yu Yezhi is attacking the Central Plains... If this one by one does not mean that the Tang Dynasty is declining, I really have nothing to say! I, a female, don't ask about political affairs, and I can see clearly that if my father and the ministers in the court still don't understand, then the daily meal will be in vain!"
Li Daozong and Qin Mubai were stunned and stared at Princess Gaoyang, speechless for a long time.
Princess Gaoyang didn't seem to have the intention to stop at all, and continued to say passionately, "Now the Tang Dynasty is no longer the positive and enterprising and magnificent heavenly dynasty when my father just ascended the throne; my father is not the 'Heavenly Khan' who was timid and admired by all over the world. The world has been living for a long time, and people are lazy and indulge in glory, living in peace without thinking about danger. My father is only worried about the establishment of a crown prince. The ministers have nothing to do but just want to fight for power and cheat me out the dissidents. The people forget the worries of the country all day long, and sing and dance in peace - if it goes on like this, our Tang Dynasty will be finished!"
"Nonsense!" Li Daozong immediately scolded.
"What are you afraid of! There are no outsiders here - besides, I dare to say this in front of my father!" Princess Gaoyang said tit-for-tat, "Uncle, you don't have to scold me! In fact, you must know better than me, but you don't want to say it! In the world, there are fewer men like my father-in-law and Mu Bai, who dare to shoulder heavy responsibilities! However, they still have to be excluded from the imperial court and regarded as dissidents by those ministers who are content with the status quo and do not want to make progress! Let's take a look - my father-in-law died for the country all his life. What can I get in the end? But it is a great gratifying thing that he can wake up those corpses with his death! Mu Bai has made countless contributions to the frontier of the country and the people. What did he get? He was once thrown into prison, and he may be thrown into prison again in the future - I don't care! In the future, no matter what happens to Mu Bai, I will follow him! Heaven, hell, no matter where!"
The more Princess Gaoyang said, the more excited she became. She attracted Wu Mei Niang, Chen Yan and others and surrounded her.
Qin Mubai stared at her, smiled softly at the corners of his mouth, and said to Li Daozong, "Your Majesty, how is Linger's eloquence?"
"Generally, it's a little clumsy." Li Daozong also smiled and said, "But the words are not rough, and they hit the nail on the head!"
Qin Mubai's bloody book for war is still running on the road of thousands of miles in Kansai. However, the news that Qin Shubao died in the country and Lanzhou started a full-scale war has been introduced into the Central Plains with the strong west wind of the desert.
Li Min was shocked, and Kyushu was shocked!
Because the Lanzhou Border Pass Tang News was not received, and the exact news was told that although the Tang Dynasty was full of shock, no one took this to the court for public discussion.
Therefore, in the early morning every day, everyone is worried, but they are discussing some trivial things, and no one talks about "Lanzhou". Gentlemen, from time to time, look at the dragon case of Li Zhi, the prince of the prison, and keep guessing that there is a Lanzhou Military Daily in the thick stack of books every day?
At the same time, many people in the court and the opposition have made a calculation in their stomachs - Qin Qiong died in the battle, which will mean that the Tang Dynasty will not be at peace from now on. In the future, will the wind direction of the imperial court be the main battle, or will it continue to be suppressed by the Lord and faction? ......
Everyone, once again face the decision of "to stand in line"!
And this time, even Changsun Wuji kept his mouth shut and resolutely did not mention a word about Lanzhou.
Li Zhi, the prince of the prison, fell into complete confusion - he heard the news that Qin Qiong was killed in Lanzhou and started the war. Obviously, he saw that everyone in the whole dynasty was restless and full of things, but no one brought the matter to discuss it up!
When did the court become like this? ... A pool of stagnant water did nothing. Everyone snowed in front of the snow door and ignored the frost on the tiles!
And the emperor Li Shimin, the dragon still saw the beginning and the end, and he was closed to recover from illness.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, and the court is full of this.
......
The imperial city harem, a trivial place that is most easily ignored, the Tianwang Temple of the Protectorate, two women who have nothing to do with the state, are talking about Zen in the opposite seat.
"Master, recently, my disciples have been restless and worried a lot." Yin Defei, holding a Buddha bead with her palms together, stared her eyes and frowned and whispered.
"Where does the Empress's worries come from?" The abbot of the Huguo Heavenly Temple, Master Qingshan asked slightly.
"Lanzhou."
Master Qingshan paused for a little and said with a smile, "As the mother of a country, it is appropriate to worry about national affairs."
"No." Yin Defei shook her head and said, "Although I am one of the four concubines set up by Your Majesty, I never ask about state affairs."
"That lady is worried about Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, who is involved in the war in Lanzhou?"
"..." Yin Defei was silent and said a Buddha chant with her ten jaws... Amitabha!
Master Qingshan stared at Yin Defei with a smile. At this moment, her soft eyes penetrated straight into Yin Defei's heart like a sharp dagger, which made her tremble slightly.
"Amitabha Buddha... Empress Defei, are you worried that from then on, he will fall into the devil's way forever and go through all disasters?"
Yin Defei twisted her eyebrows gently, slowly opened her skin's eyes, and whispered, "Disciple, there is this worry... If he is like this, Linger will be boundless in this life!"
"Amitabha!" Master Qingshan said, "Then how can you be sure that he will not become famous in the first battle and leave his name in history?"
"I don't know... The disciple is very upset!" Yin Defei looked sad and said confusedly, "He is a very affectionate person, and although he usually looks very gentle and generous, the paranoia in his heart is unmatched. At this moment, I don't think anyone can understand the grief and indignation in his heart. Only by holding a knife to vent his murderous intention for the devil can he give up!"
Master Qingshan nodded slowly and said, "Speak bosom friend, speak bosom friend!" He is thousands of miles away and vows never to play the piano... Although the string is broken, the bosom friend is still there! - Empress, one thought becomes a demon, one thought in Buddha! It's a demon or a Buddha, only between the lines. The earth burial king Bodhisattva once made a vow that hell is not empty and vows not to become a Buddha... Or holding a knife to vent his murderous intention, or killing with a great compassionate heart, are all in one thought. Only in this subtlety, the Buddha only smiled and didn't say anything. He is born with Buddha's talent. Everything can be natural and has its own destiny. Why should the Empress worry about it?
"One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha..." Yin Defei recited repeatedly and carefully...
