Chapter 42

(chapter of 5000 words)

according to the date of the Zhou Dynasty, it should be the spring of the fourth year of Shending.

In fact, according to the date of Yanling, it should be the spring of the 16th year. This spring is no different from the previous spring. The only difference is this spring. For the first time, Yanling wanted to punish a small country, so he sent a dozen monks. The final result was a great defeat, and all the monks were killed By the luosang River, there was a rare fierce quarrel on the court Hall of Luoyang City. The final result was that the Ministry of punishment sent three sacrificial offerings to capture the two culprits who led to the death of the more than ten monks. However, after the three sacrificial offerings were sent to Luoyang city more than ten days ago, they returned to Luoyang City today. The three people went to Luoyang City together and came back Nothing was brought back.

This matter was suppressed by the Ministry of punishment, and it was not said in public in front of the civil and military officials in the early Dynasty. It was only after the early Dynasty broke up that he handed a letter to the emperor Yanling.

As one of the three dynasties in this mountain and river, the man, after reading the letter, wrote a few words with a red pen, then put down his pen and went to the Zhuixing building, which was built by Yanling with countless human and financial resources. This building is more than 100 Zhang high. If you climb the highest place, you will feel as if you are in the clouds. If you are not brave enough, you will probably be scared out of your way When the building was built in, all the officials and officials in Yanling were puzzled. The emperors of Yanling showed their benevolence and benevolence. They never did anything that cost the people and money. Even if they had to build something occasionally, they recruited people from other small countries in the territory. They never let the Yanling people suffer from labor. However, in order to build this tower, the former Emperor launched as many as 800000 people It took three years to build a civilian. As for the number of people who died of exhaustion, it is not recorded in the history books. Only the officials of the Ministry of public works have a general understanding. However, people do not know the function of this building, but the emperor of Yanling knows it clearly. The function of this building is not like that it is used for worshiping heaven as it is rumored from outside. The tower of picking stars is actually a cage.

The emperor of Yanling, dressed in a dark black dragon suit, ascended the stairs step by step. When he got to the high platform, he stood in the distance, his eyes on the clouds in the distance, and his expression was plain.

In fact, when the Yanling academy recruited students in Luoyang City, the emperor of Yanling, who was the prince of fashion, let the masters of Yanling academy have some accidents now. If it was not for the emperor's efforts, now Yanling should be a middle-aged Confucian scholar When there is an emperor, it should not be him. Therefore, it has been rumored in Luoyang over the years that his majesty, even if he is not an emperor, should be a rare monk in the mountains and rivers after entering the school, and he will certainly go further on the road of cultivation.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, the emperor of Yanling is also very talented in other aspects besides his talent in cultivation. Otherwise, how dare the former Emperor insist on leaving the prince in the face of the danger of school rage. You should know that there are as many as six emperors under the Emperor's command.

The emperor of Yanling, named Zhenghe after his accession to the throne, has never been out of Luoyang in the past 16 years. The weather in Yanling is favorable, which is not only loved by the common people, but also highly appreciated by the Academy for the emperor's governance of Yanling. In the past 16 years, no Minister of the imperial court has suffered because of his anger.

Yanling monarch's talent has been spread all over the mountains and rivers.

If it was not for Zhou Guotai's eagerness to expand the territory, the emperor would not care.

After half a column of incense, the three offerings of the Ministry of punishment have already arrived on the high platform of the picking Star Tower. Looking at the emperor Yanling standing with his hands in his hands, one of them bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, all the details have been submitted to the Ministry of punishment. Your Majesty must have seen it. The arrest failed. It's really impossible for human beings to contend with the arrest. It's like those two people who are like Qianli Jie I don't care. I've crushed at least 20 pieces along the way. "

When he said these words, the face of the priest was full of bitterness.

How can this figure, who can easily crush 20 pieces, be an ordinary monk?

The Yanling Emperor didn't turn his head, but said with a calm smile: "it's said that she is a girl who likes to wear a green shirt and a boy with a wood knife on his back. A couple of young girls killed all of my friars in the luosanghe river. At least there must be a green silk realm. In fact, I sent someone to arrest them at such a young age. In fact, it was a very stupid person at the very beginning I don't feel surprised that I didn't catch a stupid decision now. If I fail, I will fail. I don't care. Just a few days ago, I got another war report. What do you think it is? "

The three offerings were silent. Although the emperor was laughing, everyone knew that it was not so simple.

Emperor Yanling turned around and looked at the three worshippers and said with a smile: "after the luosang River, the soldiers of state Chen still went south. However, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were driven by a young man with less than 100000 iron horses running all over the mountains and fields like pigs. In less than a day, they were defeated, even if hundreds of thousands of pigs let those weeks go If someone catches them, they must be caught for more than a day. "

"I've lived in Luoyang for a long time, but I'm not deaf and blind. Although I appreciate the words that the king of Zhou made a few years ago, I can't sit back and watch it grow. Now Yanling has been damaged once. Those nobles in Luoyang just want to see me make a fool of myself for the second time. Luo Li, you can go to the state of Chen to convey my intention After that, Chen state will take charge of the matter. Yanling provides weapons and supplies, but does not send a soldier. My good boy in Yanling should not die in those places. Tell Prince Chen that I will give him a year. One year later, if the state of Zhou is still there, I will destroy the state of Chen and the state of Zhou. "One of the three was ordered to leave, and only the other two were left upstairs.

After the man disappeared completely in the tower of picking stars, the emperor of Yanling gazed at the remaining two men and said mildly, "Luo Lihe has colluded with the school for a long time. I don't want to see him again. You two will remove him for me. It's best in the territory of Chen state. If it's not in the territory of Chen state, it doesn't matter in Yanling. I know that behind Yanling is the school palace, but Yanling is Yanling, and the school palace is the school palace I don't want to feel that I'm a puppet. I'm watching every move. You don't have to worry about the anger of the school. Even if the matter is revealed, the school will not do it, because this is my attitude, and the teachers in the school will understand it. "

The emperor of Yanling said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, but in fact it was not like that. As the first school of Confucianism in the mountains and rivers, not to mention the number of monks, the mountain of Confucianism behind was enough to make people awe. Among the three religions, although Taoism was superior in the number of saints, there were four sages of Confucianism, each of whom could move mountains and seas, It is easy to destroy a secular Dynasty and kill people at the risk of irritating their schools. In fact, no one knows what to do.

However, the emperor standing upstairs naturally has a longer-term consideration than those downstairs. In the 16 years since his accession to the throne, his majesty has not done anything to affect the country's throne in Yanling, and has a good relationship with the school. Therefore, the two penalty departments dare not doubt more about their offerings.

Although the two men were skeptical, they were in Luoyang City. As a sacrifice to the Ministry of punishment, they should act according to orders. Therefore, they did not say anything. After nodding and accepting orders, they went downstairs.

After they left, standing on the tower of picking stars, Emperor Yanling said with a laugh: "I don't know, even if it is, it's just a puppet?"

All the people upstairs, except him, had already gone downstairs. No one should have heard him, but soon there was a flat voice.

"You are trapped in Luoyang City, and I am trapped in this building. Although the size is different, the essence is the same, but I am better than you. I don't have to do that puppet."

Turning his head along the sound, Emperor Yanling saw a middle-aged man who did not wear a gray cloth shirt and did not know where he came from.

The man is thin and plain, with an ordinary iron sword on one side and a yellow book on the other.

Men give people a very uncomfortable feeling, occasionally some scholar's elegance, and occasionally have the edge of a swordsman.

Looking at the volume of yellow books that men saw, Emperor Yanling joked: "Mr. changgu, I don't know how many times I have read this volume. What's the reason why I don't want to do it on my waist?"

The middle-aged man calmly replied: "you can't get out of this building. Naturally, you can't read the new book. When you're bored, you can only read it a few times. That's the truth."

The emperor of Yanling sighed in a low voice: "Mr. changgu, I can't get out of Luoyang City for the people of Yanling. But you are such a talented man, where is there any reason to be trapped in this building? What you did at that time is really puzzling. You know, with your talent, now you know the name of the mountain and river, and being trapped here is really too oblivious to you. ”

looking at the clouds in the distance, the middle-aged man calmly said, "Li changgu is just painting a prison."

Such four words, also have no helpless meaning, just some nostalgia flavor.

Emperor Yanling looked at the middle-aged man named Li changgu in front of him with a complicated look. He remembered the secrets handed down among the royal families. Every year, some children in Luoyang City were selected to study in the school palace. Li changgu was one of them, but also the most special one. The rest of the children will be taken back to the Yanling school palace in Jingkou mountain after being selected by the teachers and masters of the school. However, Li changgu did not choose to do so. Instead, he walked out of Luoyang City alone, walked thousands of miles to Jingkou mountain, and then endured the pain to climb the gate of Jingkou mountain step by step What people admire is that Li changgu was only eight years old at that time. As a child, he traveled thousands of miles. Then he went up the Jingkou mountain against the test of the school. However, he walked into the school like that. At that time, many people in the school added to him. If he had not been selected, he would have made some waves in the school After that, he walked far faster than his peers from the beginning of the road of cultivation. In less than ten years, he passed through the self-examination state, and in the next few years, he even crossed the Qingsi and Taiqing regions. In his first year, he was only one step away from crossing the Taiqing state and stepping into the twilight. We should know that the world-famous Taoist school is now almost reaching the crown, which is also the Taiqing realm Li changgu's talent and perseverance made many masters in the Academy appreciate him. Later, a master wanted to marry his beloved daughter to Li changgu. This was a wonderful thing, but he was rejected by this promising young man. The reason given was that he had a girl in Luoyang before. After ten years, Li changgu turned to sword training as if he had lost his heart. He said that he wanted to learn from those swordsmen and cut off the injustice in the world. This behavior naturally angered many people in the Academy. But at that time, Li changgu's cultivation was in the twilight and he learned the sword again, As a result, most of the masters of the Academy were not rivals. So Li changgu went down the mountain with a sword and returned to Luoyang City. No one could stop him. Finally, an old man who had been shut up for a long time in the Academy took the young man back to the school. There was no prison in the school, and no one wanted to face the first genius in the Academy in recent years It was decided that Yanling should build a star picking building to imprison these rebellious children. Li changgu was the first one to be imprisoned here.And the only one.

From the beginning to the end, no one spoke to Li changgu except the crazy scholar who wrote a wonderful poem for him.

After that, the scholar was also semi expelled from the school. He had traveled mountains and rivers in recent years and disappeared.

Since Li changgu entered the building, there have been two generations of Yanling kings, and it has been more than 70 years since Li changgu entered the building. However, this star picking building has been banned by the academic palace, and his accomplishments can not be used, let alone improve the situation. Therefore, the swordsman in the twilight state has not improved at all in this building for more than 70 years, and is still in the same place.

If not, it is estimated that Li changgu, the most gifted, can now almost compete with the school.

When Emperor Yanling was his son, he climbed the tower, which was more than 100 Zhang high. He saw Mr. changgu, who sat on the top of the tower all day long and looked down on the whole Luoyang City. At that time, Mr. changgu was not as cool as he is now. He was still willing to chat with him. He occasionally went to the tower in recent years to ask about the policy of governing the country, but not every time I don't know whether he is a scholar or a swordsman.

But emperor Yanling still admired him sincerely.

Looking at Li changgu, Emperor Yanling suddenly said, "Mr. changgu, the woman you entrusted me to take care of died at the end of spring seven years ago."

Li changgu's face was as usual, "I know, I also know that she married a good family, and that person was very kind to her. After that, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the whole family was very happy. Even at the end of spring seven years ago, I was in front of her bed, but she couldn't see me, nor did she see me in her eyes."

Li changgu said with a laugh: "there are too many prohibitions in this place. When I go downstairs, I only have to go out of my body for a spiritual tour. It takes only one incense stick at a time. The cost is too high. I went out of the body seven times and spent too much effort on cultivation. Now the realm has fallen. But the ending is not very good for me. On the contrary, it's her. It's not bad."

Emperor Yanling said with a wry smile: "these things are unpredictable. Mr. changgu must have been prepared for this. But he was trapped in this building, which has something to do with her."

Li changgu shook his head and said with a smile: "I am trapped here, but it has nothing to do with her."

Li changgu didn't finish his words, but just pressed the sword handle on his waist and suddenly said with a smile: "one day, I will break through this place with a sword. When I was going down the mountain in the school palace, I once met a senior swordsman with a rather high realm. Seeing his manner, he was not comparable to a group of pedantic scholars in the Academy. Before I picked up the sword, I didn't know why those swordsmen in the mountains and rivers came up with the sword. After I picked up the sword, I suddenly realized that although the swordsmanship was rugged, I could express my feelings most directly. After I didn't read, I went to practice sword very happily. "

Emperor Yanling said sincerely, "I will wait for the day when Mr. changgu cuts off this building with one sword."

Li changgu's expression returned to calm. "After she died, I would no longer go out of my body to enjoy myself, and my realm would no longer fall. However, there are many prohibitions here. It's not easy to break them."

Emperor Yanling laughed and said nothing.

Li changgu suddenly remembered something. He looked at the emperor Yanling and said calmly, "the donkey I rode out of the school must have been dead. The poems I wrote should still be in Luoyang. If you are convenient, you can send them upstairs. When you are old, you want to see the things before."

Looking at Li changgu's middle-aged man's appearance, Emperor Yanling thought that although you are a hundred years old, you can't be said to be old. Even if you fall out of this twilight state, there will be at least 500 years to go.

But suspicions return to doubt, he is very quick to accept down, "Mr. changgu's poetry, after I go downstairs, I will let people look for it, as soon as possible to send it to pick Star Tower."

Li changgu nodded, "so good."

Emperor Yanling looked at Li changgu and asked, "I have read many of your poems before, but I don't know which one you are most satisfied with?"

Li changgu was silent for a long time, then said with a smile: "all satisfied, after the poem draft is written, they all feel that each has its own merits, and dare not make more choices."

Emperor Yanling laughed it off.

After chatting for a long time, even emperor Yanling could not leave here, so he got up to say goodbye. Li changgu nodded and watched him leave.

When I went downstairs, I remembered a little story I had heard in Luoyang when I was young. It told me that there was a knight errant in the mountains and rivers. When he saw that there was a dragon in the world, he cut the Yellow Dragon with his sword. After Huanglong was cut off, he became prosperous all over the world. But one day when he was sleeping, he dreamt of the God King. The God King asked him, "if you cut the Yellow Dragon, who will build the white jade building for the emperor of heaven?" The chivalrous man laughed: "then I will go to the white jade building for another nine days." The deity was very angry: "what a stranger In the face of the God's anger, the Xiashi didn't care, so suddenly the blue donkey came to the night sky. When the light came up, the hero would throw his sword into the nine days!

But the chivalrous man in this story entered nine days and then entered nine days. So far, there is no news. But after so many years, the white jade building should be broken. Should you come back?

Emperor Yanling stood downstairs and looked up at the sky. He murmured, "Mr. changgu, where is the white jade building? But I really want to see you break this building with a sword one day. How about me?"On the high platform of the tower of picking stars, Li changgu sat cross legged. He took down his iron sword and laid it on his knee. His back was very straight. He could see the sea of clouds in front of him, and his expression was plain.

As for the volume of yellow books, in fact, what is an old book is just some of his many poems before. Now he opens it to his side, and there are only a few poems on that page, which is extremely crazy.

The poem says, "I will cut off the feet of the dragon and chew the meat of the dragon, so that it can not go back to the court and stay up at night. Naturally, the old don't die, the young don't cry. "
