Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

Is it a proof of the true strength of Zhang Ping and his group, or is there someone else behind the scenes, and Zhang Ping is just a bastard who was recruited to be a lobbyist?

If you want to clarify this issue, you can't rely on your own subordinates. After all, when you first came to Luoyang, you didn't have any foundation.

Then you can only meet the person Zhang Ping wants to recommend.

Three days later, Zhang Ping visited Hou Junji for the second time by taking the opportunity of delivering the delivery gifts.

Seeing Hou Junji's behavior of letting people accept everything according to the order, Zhang Ping knew it was done, and quietly took Hou Junji to a private house in Luoyang City to meet the person behind him.

"My surname is Shi, a disciple of the Buddha, and I have met General Hou." The man was an old man in his fifties, and he took the lead in saluting.

Hou Junji was slightly surprised and said: "I thought it was some kind of character, so it turned out to be a remnant of Buddhism? Hehe, I have been huddled for many days, but I jumped out at this time. Do you think I, Hou Junji, are weak and can be bullied?"

Zhang Ping said in a deep voice: "General, we respect you very much, please be merciful, we have no enmity."

The old man Shi on the opposite side waved Zhang Ping away, and entertained Hou Junji himself.

After the two were divided into guests and hosts, the old man Shi took the initiative to say: "The Buddhism has been operating here for more than a hundred years, how can it be destroyed by a war?

All the Buddhists in the world belong to one family. Buddhism has been spread to China for 600 years, but how has it ever been truly annihilated?

Everyone in the world knows what a thousand-year-old family is like, but few people know what my Buddhist methods are. The gift I gave to the general was just a drop in the bucket, just to make a good relationship. "

"According to the book, you should be an old monk, right?

Is it to show off your wealth by taking so much trouble to find me?No matter how rich you are, can you compare with the national power of the Tang Dynasty?Can it be richer than the Du Family Chamber of Commerce that pacified the Northeast? "Hou Junji said disdainfully.

"No and no!

I want to ask the general to do me a favor, to clean up my Buddhist sect's grievances in front of the world. "

Well, this old man is straightforward, he directly calls himself an old monk, it seems that he has grown his hair to return to vulgarity.

"Hmph, you have found the wrong person. You will not believe in Buddhism, and you will not be able to clean up the scandal you committed." Hou Junji stood up and wanted to leave.

The old monk did not persuade him to stay, but asked loudly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. History is written by the winner. If we can join hands to rewrite history, there is nothing that cannot be erased."

what? ?

Hou Junji stopped, and looked back at the old monk in shock, "You want to rebel?"

"No, it's not the old monk, but you, the general!" The old monk said to himself.

"It's nonsense, I will be loyal to the emperor and patriotic all my life, and I will never turn my back on the Lord, you have misunderstood the person.

You wait for these rebellious officials and thieves who have harmed the country and the people, dare to come to lobby this general?I really don't know how to live or die! "

Hou Junji shouted and cursed loudly.

The old monk laughed loudly and said: "Yes, it's not bad at all. The great general's righteousness throughout his life is admirable, but in the end what is he getting in exchange? The birds are all good bows, the cunning rabbits are killed by dogs, and the great generals who have made great military achievements are exiled." Leaving Chang'an away from the imperial court, throwing him to this abandoned place in Luoyang to wait for death, what a wise king!

The old monk really feels sad for the general. "

you

Hou Junji gradually became at a loss for words, and retorted in a deep voice: "That's because he would offend Longyan and be willing to be punished."

"Why offend Longyan?

The prince who worked diligently to govern the country and made great contributions on the battlefield was deposed, and now his life is not as good as that of a grassroots. In such a situation, shouldn't loyal ministers and good generals stand up and shout in solidarity?

Just because you said something fair for your son-in-law, you should be abandoned?

What decades of righteousness between monarch and ministers, in my opinion, is not as good as raising a dog by the emperor himself! "

You, you, you, poof

Hou Junji was so humiliated by the old monk's words that he vomited blood and fell to the ground, his eyes went dark, and he passed out immediately.

The monk was born in eloquence, and his eloquence was basically unparalleled, while the old Hou was a general who was not good at words, so of course he was no match.

And this old monk is holding the wisdom pearl, and every sentence is piercing the old Hou's heart, so everything today is calculated by others, and the trick set by Hou Junji has already fallen into the trick from the moment he entered the door. .

Hou Junji, who woke up again, was very calm, as if after some ideological struggle, he asked as if he had made a decision: "Tell me your plan, I, Hou Junji, will not cooperate with incompetent stragglers."

"My Buddhist sect has a secret force, [-] warriors can be assembled in three days, and financial resources, food and grass are not a problem, and half of Luoyang City is basically the helper of my Buddhist sect.

If you want to take Luoyang as your own, you only need to cooperate with the outside world, but this big event is not just the gain or loss of Luoyang City. We want to fight Chang'an, so we still lack a brave and resourceful general to lead.

God-given opportunity, the general is the perfect candidate. "

I don't know if the old monk has the power to conspire, and Hou Junji didn't force him to ask, but asked tentatively: "If you find me, aren't you afraid that I will lead you to the road to hell?"

The old monk shook his head and said, "To protect the Dharma, why are you afraid of life and death?

And you, General Hou, won't do it, and you will definitely cooperate with us, because you are ambitious and unwilling to be inferior. "

Hearing that Hou Junji was silent, he said after a long time: "It's true that I, Hou Junji, have ambitions, but I don't want to bear the eternal infamy. I can cooperate with you, but the goal is not to kill the king, but to break into Chang'an to force the palace. Substitution, supporting Li Chengqian as emperor, this is my bottom line."

The old monk immediately nodded his head and said, "Yes, we only need justice.

We have already found out about that incident at the beginning. It was the emperor who ordered Du Shaoqing to plan, and sent Du Shaoqing's disciples to spread rumors and make troubles to trap our Buddhism. The state religion is enough, we don't want anything else.

When we send troops and food, we give full authority to General Hou to command. Afterwards, the life and death of these people will be handled by the general. "

"Twenty thousand dead men? Buddhism is so cruel and merciless!" Hou Junji said with emotion.

However, he did not fully agree, "The royal family's surname is Li, and the Taoist patriarch is respected as the ancestor, so it is impossible for your Buddhist sect to be the only one of the state religion. There is little hope for this.

In addition, I, Hou Junji, am not a tiger with its teeth pulled out. I have [-] loyal subordinates. If I want to break through the city smoothly, I must have enough soldiers and food. "

After two days of back-and-forth consultations and deployments, even if the two sides reached an agreement, they acted swiftly and decisively. As soon as the troops arrived, they immediately took Luoyang City as a backing, and then quickly dispatched troops to directly point at Chang'an.

In the evening of that day, a man suddenly came to Du Shaoqing's clinic, claiming to be looking for Di Renjie.

Di Renjie saw that this was not the butler of General Zhang Liang's family?

When Di Renjie went to Luoyang to do business, he met Zhang Liang, who was then the governor of Luoyang, and Zhang Liang appreciated Di Renjie very much. Later, Zhang Liang was demoted and transferred back to Chang'an, and invited Di Renjie to his house as a guest. get acquainted.

"Old butler, what's the matter for coming to see me so late?" Di Renjie asked.

The housekeeper looked anxious and said: "I would like to ask your son to introduce Du Ma, I have a very urgent matter, but I don't know the concubine, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him, my master asked me to send the message."

Di Renjie wanted to ask what it was, but the old housekeeper refused to say anything, so he could only bring him to Du Shaoqing's Hou's mansion for introduction.

Du Shaoqing was also very surprised, he and Zhang Liang basically had no contact, that is, the last time Zhang Liang came over to thank Di Renjie for his contribution in Luoyang, what did he ask him for?Why not come in person and send a butler?Could it be that there is a hidden disease?

"My son-in-law, my master asked me to report to you face to face, saying that Luoyang Hou Junji has rebelled and is on his way now." Seeing that Du Shaoqing didn't talk nonsense, the old housekeeper told the information directly.
