For this matter, Zhao Linfu, who recommended Duan Shaojun to serve Zuo Yulin at the border pass, asked for a demote, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it, and in the end, he was only fined for one year. Chapters are updated the fastest

Although the court has not yet come up with any conclusion on the disposal of Duan Shaojun for the time being, Zhang Jiuling knows very well that it is because everyone is afraid of the abbot who is far away in Jiangnan and does not seem to ask about the world.

And the Son of Heaven seems to be a little weak-hearted, after all, his own brother finally sent a big talent to himself for use. But what about the result

The Son of Heaven was wary of his own brother, and even suspicious of the talent recommended by the abbot. It is for this reason that the Son of Heaven will change the exam questions without authorization when he takes the palace exam.

But I still didn't expect that kid to win the first place in the palace examination without dispute with his true skills, and was handpicked as the champion by his disgruntled but helpless self.

It is precisely out of guilt that the Son of Heaven has been pressing this matter, and at the same time, he also wants to see the reaction of the abbot of the dream. It's just that the abbot of the dream has not made any expression.

In other words, as if he was nothing, he continued to open his medical clinic in Yangzhou Lanting in the south of the Yangtze River and read his Buddhist scriptures. It seems that the betrayal of Datang by the disciple under his mantle has no effect on him at all.

Of course, there are also ministers who, under the hint of Zhao Linfu, played to the Son of Heaven, and the content of the twist and turn is naturally directed at the dream abbot who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

Those who accuse the abbot of dreaming of ulterior motives, and those who accuse the abbot's disciples of defecting to Qihu, must have been instructed by him, the master.

In short, Zhao Linfu, who is in power and the opposition, hinted with a single look, and let so many imperial historians jump out to impeach the Son of Heaven's own brother, such energy really made Zhang Jiuling and others, who were watching coldly, dumbfounded, and their hearts were also secretly anxious.

#####

is so courteous, so powerful, but still favored by the Son of Heaven. In the long run, this represents the political center of the Tang Empire, whether the surname is Li or Zhao.

Such worries are not only in Zhang Jiuling's heart.

However, to Zhao Linfu's surprise, the Son of Heaven was disgusted with the abbot of the dream, who was in the battle for the throne, before and after the saddle, and cried blood to serve himself, but because of his fierce will to eliminate the remnants of the emperor, he finally broke out of his house in anger and shaved his hair to become a monk.

Since then, he no longer cares about political affairs, and has become a host in a remote small county in Yangzhou, Jiangnan. This made the Son of Heaven feel relieved in his heart for the departure of the abbot of the dream, but he felt a little more guilty.

Breathe a sigh of relief, that is because the abbot at that time was the prince and received the position of the secretary, that is, the prime minister, and was also in charge of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

The forbidden army of the Tang Empire is divided into two categories, one is the forbidden army composed of government soldiers, also known as the Sixteen Guards, collectively known as the Nanya Forbidden Army. It is the main source of combat power of the Tang Forbidden Army. At its peak, there were nearly 300,000 16 guards and horses stationed in the Beijing Division.

The number of the Beiya Forbidden Army is much less, and the Beiya Forbidden Army did not exceed 100,000 at its peak, but now it remains at more than 60,000.

However, the soldiers of this forbidden army are completely different from the government soldiers used by the Ten Guards and Six. And the whole system of conscription is adopted.

In other words, the Nanya Forbidden Army is mandatory to serve in the military. The Beiya Forbidden Army, on the other hand, was an elite who came to participate voluntarily.

To put it mildly, it is to sell his life for money, don't look at this soldier of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army who came for money, but because of this, the selection of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army is far stricter than that of the Southern Ya Forbidden Army. Moreover, this Beiya forbidden army has always been fearless of death. At that time, the abbot of Mengfu, who was still the prince, led this elite army that was not afraid of death, and it can be said that he was invincible and invincible.

In the end, this army stayed when King Zhao ascended the throne as emperor and became a ** Praetorian Guard outside the Sixteen Guards Forbidden Army.

Because it was stationed in the north of the imperial city, and also in order to distinguish it from the sixteen guards and forbidden troops stationed in the south of the imperial city, it was named the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

At that time, the abbot of Dream Confusion was not only in charge of the power of the prime minister's friend of the Tang Dynasty, but also controlled the military force of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, which was feared by everyone.

At that time, the Son of Heaven, who had already ascended the throne as the emperor, began to greatly weaken the military power of the kings of various places, but he didn't want someone to jump out and do the same thing after he ascended the throne as the emperor.

In addition, for those civil and military ministers who were still loyal to the abolished emperor, the Son of Heaven almost did not let go of any of them, and ordered the world to kill.

And the strongest opposition at that time was the dream of the abbot.

However, what the abbot did not expect was that his own brother, who had ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven, had already changed his mentality. has changed from a snatcher of power to a guardian of power.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven intentionally or unconsciously used various methods to imply that you should hand over the power in your hands, just be a rich man who enjoys leisure like those kings.

This world belongs to me, and what I want to do is my business.

For such an attitude, the completely disheartened dream abbot could only leave gloomily. even walked more resolutely than the Son of Heaven imagined.

Not to mention the surrender of military power, the position of prime minister, and the respect of the prince were all regarded as grass mustard by the abbot of Mengfu, and they were all thrown away, so he led more than a dozen guards and generals who had followed him for many years, left the Beijing Division, left the north, and went to the rich and leisurely Jiangnan, and never returned.

In this way, the Son of Heaven felt somewhat sorry for this younger brother who had made great contributions to himself, but he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, after all, this was his country, and for the stability of the country, he had to do it.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and because of the cool will of the Son of Heaven to kill the emperor's henchmen, the world has been full of smoke and military disasters, and even many ministers who originally followed the Son of Heaven have also angrily accused the Son of Heaven of being cruel and murderous, extremely reckless, far better than the faint monarch of the ancients.

At that time, the Son of Heaven finally regretted a little, regretted not listening to his own brother, and even regretted why he was dizzy in the first place, and actually did such a regretful thing.

And when the person sent out to find the abbot of the dream reported that the abbot of the dream had been ordained as a monk in the land south of the Yangtze River, the news was transmitted back to the Jingshi.

The Son of Heaven sighed for a long time and sighed for a long time, and sent orders again and again, and the edict confused the abbot to enter Beijing and reinstate his relatives.

The abbot of the dream did not obey, and the Son of Heaven asked someone to build a temple in Beijing, and asked the abbot to enter Beijing, practice in Beijing, and get together with his brothers.

#####

But the abbot still ignored it, and only said that the Lanting Hidden Dragon Temple was the place where the master was buried, and he was not allowed to leave without permission. In the end, under the urging of the Son of Heaven, the abbot of Mengfu simply asked his senior brother Master Mengzhen to go north and became the host of the Wenzhi Temple built by the Son of Heaven in Beijing.

Since then, the Son of Heaven has always taken more care of his own brother who is far away in Tiannan and his mother's compatriots. However, the Son of Heaven, who was originally suspicious in character, felt that perhaps dreaming of the abbot away from the center of power was the best choice for him and for himself.

also extinguished the idea of inviting the dream abbot to Beijing again, and even the contact was gradually not as close as in the past. Even in the past few years, in addition to sending an adult prince to visit him on behalf of the Son of Heaven every year, he asked himself for advice and learning by the way.

It's just an occasional letter or two to talk about the past. And the abbot of the dream, not long after leaving Beijing in the initial anger, the abbot of the dream, who was a famous and talented person in the Tang Dynasty, regained his cool head.

Carefully consider the relationship and distance between himself and the Son of Heaven. After repeatedly thinking about the character flaws of the Son of Heaven and his position, coupled with the fact that he has always believed in the Buddha, the abbot of the dream simply placed himself under the master's seat, shaved his hair and became a monk, which not only cut off his already disheartened thoughts, but in fact, it was not for the sake of Mingzhe's self-preservation.

If you stay in the capital and become an idle prince with no power in your hands, the abbot who has the dream of the world in his heart really can't do it, and he can only watch the wrong decisions of the Son of Heaven one after another and be indifferent.

In the long run, the brotherly love will inevitably gradually wear out, and eventually the brothers will turn against each other.

It is better to stay away from the central place, let the Son of Heaven worry about the love of his brother's bloodline, at least persuade from the perspective of a bystander, but it can have a better effect.
