Chapter 1167: Hit It Off

Chapter 1168 hit it off

Yangzhou, Daming Temple.

Shugang Mountain is in the northern suburbs of Yangzhou, winding like Wolong, and the famous thousand-year-old temple Daming Temple is located on the middle peak of Shugang.

Daming Temple was built in the Southern Dynasty Song Xiaowu Emperor Ming Dynasty, the tower is nine floors high, magnificent and magnificent, known as "China's special one", so the temple is also called "Qiling Temple".

It is worth mentioning that Master Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty served as the abbot of Daming Temple, making Daming Temple an important ancient temple in the history of the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Buddhist cultural relics of the Wa Kingdom.

Because Master Jianzhen had preached the scriptures and ordained in Daming Temple before he traveled to Japan, Daming Temple became famous all over the world.

As a famous temple in Yangzhou, Daming Temple incense is prosperous, there are many believers, Li Yuntian once went to the temple to pay homage to the incense when investigating the two Huai salt cases, and left a painting treasure under the invitation of the host.

Nowadays, Li Yuntian's ink treasure is properly collected by Daming Temple, and it will become an important historical classic in time, and it is also a good story of Daming Temple.

On this morning, in the bustling incense crowd, Cui Hui, who was dressed in civilian clothes, appeared in front of the Daming Temple accompanied by several subordinates.

Although the figure outside the window did not tell Cui Hui how to contact him that night, Cui Hui was not in a hurry at all, because he knew that the other party would definitely find him, so he patiently wandered around the temple.

The old man who asked Cui Hui to meet did not show up until noon, so Cui Hui decided to have lunch first, and if the other party did not come to him in the afternoon, he would go home.

The most famous of Daming Temple is undoubtedly vegetarian food, although the dishes are simple but only a few copper plates can be eaten and drunk, and it is very popular with men and women.

"This donor, the vegetarian food in our temple is good, and the donor can come from afar to taste it." Without waiting for Cui Hui to leave Daming Temple, a monk came forward, bowed to him and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, there is labor to lead the way." Cui Hui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then nodded quietly, he didn't think that this monk would block his way for no reason.

The monk then led Cui Hui to the dining hall and entered a small single room in the backyard, some noble people did not like to eat with others, so the temple prepared these small single rooms, and a middle-aged man with a beard was sitting there drinking tea slowly.

"Brother Cui, don't come unharmed!" Seeing Cui Hui come in, the middle-aged man with a beard put down his teacup and got up to greet him, and said with a smile.

Cui Hui looked the bearded middle-aged man up and down with some confusion, he didn't seem to have seen this person in his impression, and he didn't know why the other party wanted to see him.

"Two donors, the food will come soon, please wait." The monk bowed to Cui Hui and the bearded middle-aged man and walked away quickly.

Cui Hui hesitated for a moment and waved his hand to the entourage who had followed him in, and the entourage left in amusement, closing the door as they left.

"Who are you, the official doesn't seem to know you." After the entourage left, Cui Hui stared at the bearded middle-aged man expressionlessly and asked, secretly guessing the other party's intention of calling him.

"Brother Cui is a noble man who forgets things, and we had several relationships back then." The middle-aged man with a beard smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand to signal Cui Hui to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea with a smile after Cui Hui sat down.

"Why are you looking for this officer?" Cui Hui still couldn't remember where he had seen the bearded middle-aged man, and asked coldly, looking quite vigilant.

"Brother Cui and the younger brother are both fallen people in the world, and the younger brother thinks that we should unite to deal with the common enemy." The bearded middle-aged man knew that Cui Hui was hostile to him, so he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of the fragrant tea inside, and said with a smile, "Brother Cui is fighting alone, how can he be the opponent of that surnamed Li." ”

"Surnamed Li?" Cui Hui's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the bearded middle-aged man quietly, "I don't know what you mean by this?" ”

"Brother Cui, the little brother and Li Yuntian have a lot of enmity than you, you just offended him in Hukou County back then, and now you live a happy life, but the little brother let him ruin his family!" The bearded middle-aged man knew that Cui Hui was pretending to be stupid, and he was not in the mood to guess dumb riddles with Cui Hui, so he said bluntly, his tone becoming a little cold.

"Do you have a grudge against Lord Zhong?" Although he had already guessed that the bearded middle-aged man was Li Yuntian's enemy, Cui Hui was ready to act cautiously before he figured out the details of the other party, and asked quietly.

"It's not just a grudge, it's as deep as the sea." The bearded middle-aged man sneered, looked at Cui Hui and asked, "Brother Cui, do you remember the Lianghuai Salt Road case back then?" ”

"Two Huai Salt Road!" Cui Hui was stunned when he heard this, I don't know why the bearded middle-aged man brought up this case that shook Jiangnan officialdom, and his ability to be promoted so quickly is also related to the conviction of some officials involved in this case in Jiangnan officialdom, and some official positions were vacated, otherwise he would not have been promoted so quickly.

"The younger brother's surname is Chen, and his name is Guangzong, I wonder if Brother Cui still has an impression?" The bearded middle-aged man put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a deep voice staring at Cui Hui.

"Chen Guangzong?" A shocked look appeared on Cui Hui's face, and he looked at the bearded middle-aged man in disbelief, "You are the eldest son of Chen Shilang?" The official heard that you were exiled to Cochin, when did you come back? ”

"I didn't expect Brother Cui to remember the younger brother, the younger brother escaped on the way to Jiaozhi, and in recent years, some have been looking for an opportunity for revenge." A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Guangzong's mouth, and he looked at Cui Hui with a smile and said, "I don't know if Brother Cui cooperates with the younger brother, except for the scourge of Li Yuntian." ”

"The eldest prince, the official also wants to get rid of the surname Li, but now that the surname Li is powerful, how can we fight him." Cui Hui finally recognized Chen Guangzong at this time, and said with a wry smile when he heard this.

Cui Hui had seen Chen Guangzong a few times back then, and Chen Guangzong at that time was so high-spirited, controlling the lifeblood of the Lianghuai Salt Road, and even the prefect was polite when he saw him, no matter what, he thought that the dignified Lianghuai Salt Road would collapse by Li Yuntian, and he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to call Chen Guangzong a brother.

To be honest, Cui Hui admires Li Yuntian in the matter of the Lianghuai Salt Road, Li Yuntian can check the bottom of the Lianghuai Salt Road and take a very big risk, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"It's easy to dodge open guns and it's hard to defend against dark arrows, now that Li Yuntian is powerful, let's give him a yin." Chen Guangzong smiled slightly when he heard this, from Cui Hui's answer, he already knew that Cui Hui also wanted to kill Li Yuntian, so he lowered his voice and said, "As long as Brother Cui cooperates with the younger brother, he will definitely be able to leave Li Yuntian in Yangzhou City!" ”

"What is the best plan for the eldest prince?" Cui Hui's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and when he saw Chen Guangzong's confident look, he couldn't help but ask, he naturally knew the meaning of the word "stay".

"Don't hide it from Brother Cui, the younger brother has a group of dead soldiers in his hands, as long as we plan it properly, we will definitely be able to kill Li Yuntian." Chen Guangzong slowly clenched his right fist and said with a hideous expression.

"Li Yuntian's reputation among the people is very high, will those dead soldiers rebel?" Cui Hui's face showed a look of joy, what he lacked most now was manpower, and then he thought of something, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Li Yuntian is now a hero in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and his prestige among the people is very high, which makes Cui Hui unable to find a suitable person to deal with Li Yuntian at all, and he is worried that those people will defect after learning that the person to be dealt with is Li Yuntian.

"Brother Cui, don't worry, they are from the Wa Kingdom, and they will not show mercy to Li Yuntian's subordinates at all." Chen Guangzong smiled disappreciatively, dispelling Cui Hui's concerns, those widows didn't know Li Yuntian, so naturally what Cui Hui was worried about wouldn't happen.

"Eldest son, what should we do next, Li Yuntian will return to Beijing after his inspection."

Hearing that Chen Guangzong mentioned the "Wa State", Cui Hui realized that Cui Hui had colluded with the Wa State, and felt an indescribable gloom and sadness in his heart, now I am afraid that only traitors like Gu Chen and Chen Guangzong will cooperate with him, but now is not the time to be sad, he asked with a strong spirit, I want to hear what Chen Guangzong has to say.

"Brother Cui, don't be impatient, Li Yuntian still has some time to return to Yangzhou, let's take advantage of this to discuss it." Chen Guangzong smiled slightly when he heard this, he didn't have any good ideas now, and then looked at Cui Hui with a smile, "Brother Cui, we have actually cooperated before, but Brother Cui doesn't know." ”

"Oh?" Cui Hui couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, he didn't even know that Chen Guangzong had escaped from Jiaozhi before, so how could he cooperate with Chen Guangzong for this?

"Liu Feng has business dealings with his younger brother's subordinates, and sells the goods that his younger brother needs to the Japanese Kingdom." Chen Guangzong knew that Cui Hui didn't know the reason, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, Liu Feng would have met Li Yuntian, otherwise the younger brother would have killed two birds with one stone." ”

"Killing two birds with one stone?" Cui Hui's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, as if he realized something, and couldn't help asking, "Li Shan's case is related to you?" ”

"That little boy is not called Li Shan, his real name is Fujido Anguo, and he is the son of a guardian of the Ming Dynasty in the Kyushu and Shikoku regions of the Wa Kingdom."

Chen Guangzong didn't want to hide this matter from Cui Hui, and said to him in a deep voice, "That guardian Daming is called Fujido Shizuko, and she is the only female daimyo in the Wa Kingdom now, and she has territories in both Kyushu and Shikoku, so she is a very difficult guy to deal with. ”

"Fujido!" Cui Hui didn't know much about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, but he was keenly aware of one thing, and asked with some surprise, "That Li Shan followed his mother's surname?" ”

"No one knows who Fujido Yasukoku's father is, after all, Fujido Shizuko has power, so it is possible to fall in love with any man." Chen Guangzong nodded and explained in an orderly manner, "The people of the Fujido family are dead except for Fujitang Shizuko, and it is obvious that she wants her son to follow her surname to let him inherit the Fujitang family's inheritance. ”

"By the way, this Fujido Shizuko used to have a name when she was in the Ming Dynasty, called Keiko Yamaguchi, it was Li Yuntian who brought her back to the capital from Hangzhou, and she also used Li Yuntian's power to have such a big influence in the Japanese country."

Saying that, Chen Guangzong remembered something and said to Cui Hui hatefully, if it weren't for Li Yuntian, how could Fujido Shizuko become the female daimyo of the Wa Kingdom!

It turned out that Li Shan's mother was Keiko Yamaguchi, no wonder she handed over Li Shan to Li Yuntian so reassuringly, her real surname was Fujitang, and later she should have returned to her original name in the Wa Kingdom.

"Could Li Shan be Li Yuntian's son?" Hearing this, Cui Hui suddenly realized a question and couldn't help asking.

"Probably not, Fujido Anguo was born a year after Li Yuntian left the Wa Kingdom, and it is rumored that after Li Yuntian left, Fujido Shizuko recruited men to accompany her at night, wanting to give birth to a male heir to the Fujido family."

Chen Guangzong couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he naturally thought about this issue as well, and said to Cui Hui, "Besides, if Fujitang Anguo is Li Yuntian's son, Li Yuntian will not hand him over to Liu Feng to take away after meeting him." ”

Cui Hui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this, as Chen Guangzong said, if Li Shan was Li Yuntian's son, the two would definitely recognize each other, and naturally they would not let Liu Feng take him to Xiayang Town.
