Chapter 189: The height of the temple (17)

The window lattice was a little white, and Qiu Ju opened her eyes. The husband casually placed one hand on his waist, still in his sleep. Thinking of the madness last night, Qiu Ju couldn't help but feel warm in her heart. She turned over and pressed against the husband tightly. Hou Dayong also opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed. He didn't figure out where this was, but he quickly realized that it was in Qiu Ju's hut.

Qiu Ju knew that Langjun had the habit of morning exercises, so she quickly stood up and said, "Langjun, don't move, I'll get you a short garment."

The ground dragon burned all night, and the room was already as warm as spring. Qiuqiu saw the light but was still hazy. So she took Hou Dayong's sports shorts naked, then sat by the bed with her hair folded, her naked back was beautiful and streamlined, and she wanted to harvest a beautiful lonely line between her waist. Hou Dayong was lying comfortably on the bed, and just now she could see the soft silhouette, the round and full softness swaying slightly as Qiuqiu's body was extremely dynamic.

It turned out that her skin was a little dark, dry in winter, and her skin looked a little thicker. After giving birth to a child, Qiuju's skin became delicate and tender, but when she touched her hands, she felt like silk.

Hou Dayong said softly: "Qiuju, for so many years, you have always been divided into more and more gatherings, which is really a pain for you."

Qiu Ju gasped slightly and said, "As long as you remember me, I will be content. You, Qiu Ju misses you." Qiu Ju took the initiative to grab Hou Dayong's right hand and slowly led to the source of desire.

Hou Dayong asked casually: "What does Madam Fu treat you on weekdays?"

"Madam Fu is a good person. She often brings Zong Lin here and lets the two children play together. But." Before she finished speaking, Qiu Ju suddenly turned over and threw herself on Hou Dayong, saying, "I won't talk about these things now, Lang Jun, I'm thinking about it again."

For a moment, the room was filled with spring.

After the battle, Hou Dayong put on the boxer sweatpants prepared by Qiu Ju for him. "Is this boxer sweatpants a new product?" Qiu Ju was completely satisfied with her body and mind. She lay lazily on the bed, and said happily: "I know that Lang Jun is going to box in the morning, so she prepared several clothes and waited for Lang Jun to come and wear them."

The new sports pants are very fit. The pins are fine and comfortable to wear. When Hou Dayong was about to be discharged from the hospital, he suddenly remembered half of what Qiu Ju said. He said, "You haven't finished a word just now, but what?" Qiu Ju hesitated for a while and said, "Miss Fu seems to be a little cold to Chunlan."

Hou Dayong walked back to the bed, touched Chunlandi's lower abdomen again, and said, "I used to spend a lot of time with Chunlan. Why did she never have children? This has become a heart-wrenching illness for Chunlan. You and Chunlan have been together since childhood. If you want to persuade her, I will go to her tonight."

After the morning exercise, Hou Dayong had breakfast in Qiuju Courtyard again, and then walked out of Qiuju Courtyard wearing a green round-necked shirt. It was already the hour.

The Daliang Hou Mansion covers a very wide area, several times larger than the Lingzhou Hou Mansion, and is not far from the Cangzhou Hou Mansion. Fu Ying was meticulous and prepared a separate courtyard for Hou Dayong next to the main courtyard. There was a room, a reception room and a study room. On weekdays, he was a confidant and a military officer, and his personal guards, Lin Zhonghu lived here.

When Fengsha was in Lingzhou, he had to deal with a lot of official documents every day. Now when he returned to Lingzhou, he was idle all day long and had nothing to do. This kind of life only lasted three days. Fengsha, who was used to being busy, felt like he was living like a year. Fortunately, on the fourth day, he finally had something to do. Seeing Hou Xiang coming, he said with great energy: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Meng Shu had already worn a beard and a small black hat on his head. His words and deeds were extremely calm, and he was completely different from a young man under thirty. When he saw Hou Dayong coming in, he immediately stood up and saluted.

Hou Dayong took a short black knife, with brown twine wrapped around the handle of the knife. The whole knife looked simple and unpretentious. "This short knife was from Dou Tian's hand. It was the most proud short knife in Lingzhou. The knife was named Feihu. This knife should be used as a gift to his nephew."

There was a custom in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty that whenever a general in the army had a male recruit, the chief general would give a good knife to the new male recruit, which meant that a brave man was added to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Two months after Meng Shu's son was born, Hou Dayong specially chose a short knife as a gift.

The blade of the short knife has nothing special, and is even more dimmer than the ordinary Hou family knife. Hou Dayong took a thick brush and cut it with a short knife. The brush holder broke according to the sound.

Meng Shu couldn't help but say, "Good knife."

"This sword and the flying dragon sword are a pair. The long sword is a flying dragon and the short sword is a flying tiger. Both are Dou Tian's proud works. There are only two in the world, so it is probably difficult to imitate."

Meng Shu did not refuse and bowed, saying, "The emperor thanked the governor for the dog son."

The two sat down and talked some gossip. Meng Shu took out a few pieces of paper and said respectfully: "I have three things in my hand, and I must report them to the Jiedushi."

"Tell me."

"First of all, there are two men in Daliang City who specialize in dealing with candidates from all over the country. One is Liu Cheng and the other is Cheng Gao. They are under the tutor-ju and the right counselor Liu Tao, who specializes in finding wealthy candidates, and then use the power in Liu Tao to deal with these candidates. The Feiying Hall had discovered this year. This year, in Taoyuanju, Liu Cheng and Cheng Gao have new goals, which has something to do with the governor."

Hou Dayong reacted quickly, and immediately thought of it as Liu Jiangqing and others, and said, "Is it Liu Jiangqing and the others?"

"That's right, Liu Jiangqing and the others went to Taoyuanju for dinner and were targeted by Liu Cheng and Cheng Gao. Liu Jiangqing then met the two of them again, and it seemed that they had made a deal. Liu Tao was reliable in doing this. Two years ago, after contacting several candidates last year, these candidates were all won. I also brought the list of candidates, and they were these people."

Hou Dayong took the list and looked carefully. These candidates had all been seventh-rank officials. From the seventh-rank minor official, they officially stepped on the ladder of the officialdom. Hou Dayong put down the list, put his hands behind his head, and made a comfortable position, saying: "From this matter, the people of the Richie tribe have lived in the grassland for a hundred years, learned the way of thinking of the Hu people, and acted with the results and methods. They were very different from ordinary Confucian scholars. If the Richie tribe passed the exam, they might really become important officials of the Great Zhou."

"Do you stop them or let them continue to interact?"

Hou Dayong gently tapped the table with one hand. After thinking for a while, he said, "The people of the Richie tribe are all things that can be made. They must be in our hands. They cannot make them have strange ambitions. Now they cannot make them have a relationship with Liu Tao. Liu Tao will sooner or later walk on the night road. If Liu Jiangqing and others have a relationship with him, if the incident happens, they will find it difficult to have a future. If they are really talented, they will take the exam openly. This year, I am in the court, keeping the Ministry of Rites closer, making it difficult for them to cheat."

"We must not only have conspiracies when doing things, but also have to have open and upright plots and support them with righteousness to accomplish great things. Pure and deceitful things can only be done for a while but not for a lifetime."

Meng Shu nodded and said, "The Lord remembers, the second thing is that Feiying Hall had developed seven members in the imperial guards of the Palace Front Office, but his luck was too bad. Since the southern expedition, these seven people have been killed one after another. Over the years, Zhao Kuangyin promoted and used people mainly the confidants of the ten brothers of Yishe. Or their old subordinates, it is difficult for others to enter the circle of other places. Now, the remaining Black Eagle Army members have gradually surrendered to Han Tong, another commander of the Palace Front Office."

Han Tong, Cao Han, Xiang Xun, Zhao Kuangyin, Li Jixun and others were all old people in Chai Rong's mansion. Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin had always been at odds. Chai Rong knew about this, but Chai Rong did not transfer the two. The front office of the Palace formed a pattern with Zhang Yongde as the head coach, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong as the deputy commanders. However, Zhao Kuangyin was responsible for training the new imperial guards and took the opportunity to gather a large number of arrogant soldiers and generals, whose strength had long surpassed Han Tong.

Hou Dayong used to be mainly focused on the northwest and did not pay enough attention to Han Tong's troops. Now when he returned to Daliang, Han Tong was naturally in sight. "Su Wensen and Hu Sheng are both in Han Tong's troops. How are they?"

"Su Wensen is now the most important general under Han Tong. He has already served as the position of the prefect of the palace and has become Han Tong's confidant. I have contacted him several times. He is very strict and it is difficult to say anything. As for Hu Sheng, it is better not to say it. He is now focused on following Zhao Kuangyin's path."

Hou Dayong felt a little disappointed in his heart. Su Wensen and Hu Sheng were one of the five lieutenants of the Black Eagle Army when they were founded. Now he has defected to other generals. Hou Dayong was silent for a while and said, "Su Wensen and Hu Sheng have no other way. How can we not bow our heads under the eaves? Is there anything else?"

Meng Shu lowered his head, and played with the short knife in his hand over and over again, without replying.

Hou Dayong knew that something important must be done, so he waited for him to speak quietly.

Meng Shu stroked the short knife with his fingers. By accident, his fingers were cut and blood quickly poured out. Meng Shu cut off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his fingers, and then said, "The third thing is that this matter involves the family affairs of the governor, and I don't know whether it should be said or not."

Meng Shu looked at Hou Dayong's eyes and said, "The soldiers of Feiying Hall accidentally discovered that Chunlan's wife has been going to Tianqing Temple recently, and it is very regular. At the end of last year, she went there every more than a month, and recently she went there every few days."

"Miss Fu is dedicated to the Buddha. When I arrived at Daliang the next year, I accompanied her to two major temples. I didn't hear that there was a Tianqing Temple nearby."

"Since Xiande first destroyed the Buddha, there were only a few temples in the country, and a large number of monks returned to secular life. However, there were still many believers from all over the country. Since there were no temples to go to, many underground sects emerged. In the Daliang area alone, there were several major sects that secretly preached. At the suggestion of Fan Xiangdi, His Majesty agreed to build several new temples to win people's hearts. The four temples, Tianqing Temple, Xianjing Temple, and Xianning Temple, were put into use in November last year. Many of the monks inside were monks from all over the world."

"What's wrong with Chunlan going to Tianjing Temple?" Hou Dayong saw Meng Shu being hesitant and asked directly.

"Tianjing Temple has been very incense recently. It is said that it is very accurate to ask for children. Many women from aristocratic families in Daliang City went to Tianjing Temple to seek children. In the place of the rafts of the teahouse and wine house, there are people in Feiying Hall for a long time, and they can get a lot of information from it. There is a soldier nicknamed Dazui Li. I accidentally heard that Tianjing Temple is very incense, so I became curious and got into the pilgrimage team. After more than ten days of mercy, I saw some tricks. Tianjing Temple is mainly famous for seeking children. The good men and women called the abbots and rushed to them. After I heard about this, I let Dazui Li stay in Tianjing Temple for a long time. I accidentally discovered that Chunlan's wife also often went to Tianjing Temple."

Chunlan’s biggest heart disease is that she has no children. It is logical to go to Tianjing Temple to seek a child. However, Meng Shu’s special proposal would never be so simple. She asked bluntly: “What’s wrong with Mrs. Chun’s praying for a child?”

Meng Shu nodded and said, "Big-mouthed Li was sent to the temple to collect the situation. It was not targeted at the temple, but Big-mouthed Li discovered a strange thing in the temple. Every day, some women always came out of the back hall with a rosy complexion. Big-mouthed Li was not a good bird, and when they had a few money, they were spent on the yard. Seeing this, they couldn't help but feel suspicious. They stared at these women. Most of these women were women from aristocratic families, and most of their husbands were in the army. Although Big-mouthed Li could not enter the inner hall, they could also know what happened from their faces. Because of their burly body, one morning, the monks brought six wives into the inner courtyard. After these little wives came out, they were all delicate and tight."

When Meng Shu said this, he thought of Li's mouth ticking with big mouth, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, but this matter involved Mrs. Chun, if he smiled, he would look at the joke of the governor and tighten his face.

Hou Dayong was the leader of the most tax-oriented special brigade in modern society. After coming to the Great Zhou Dynasty, in just a few years, Yi Jie Bai Ding became the governor of Shuofang who was so powerful. As the saying goes, he lived and regained his energy. Hou Dayong was extremely self-esteem and arrogant in his heart. In terms of treating women, due to his excellent conditions, he was always proud of himself. He never expected that Chunlan would betray him, and he felt a little frustrated and furious. If he followed Meng Shu's words, the monk was indeed very good at controlling six girls in the morning. Chunlan was lonely and had no children, so he was very likely to be tempted by him.

Hou Dayong slapped the table, "This is because it is extremely hateful. The soldiers in the army fought bloody on the battlefield. He ignited the fire in the backyard and cuckolded the soldiers. It should be killed." Suddenly, he remembered that he also wore a big cuckold and couldn't help but feel angry.

Meng Shu said with a serious expression: "Originally, the Flying Eagle Hall only needs to record the bad things of these monks. I didn't care much. In the past few years, I have seen the dirty side of many children of aristocratic families and have become accustomed to their behavior. It was only when it came to Chun Niang, so I sent four subordinates to stare at Tianqing Temple every day. Only then did I realize that because I often went to the nobles' homes to do rituals, it was the guest of the powerful people of Daliang. His behavior was quite similar to those monks who chaotic governments during the Tang Dynasty."

Hou Dayong took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and said, "Your Majesty is good at Huang Lao's art, and he does not appreciate Buddhism. The nobles in the court also believe in Huang Lao Lao. At this time, the general environment is different from the time of Emperor Wu. This monk cannot make a big wave. Tianqing Temple is a newly built temple. Where did this monk come from? Have you checked his origin?"

Meng Shu also checked the origin of this monk and said, "According to the monk in the temple, this monk came down from Mount Wutai, which is also a rising star on Mount Wutai. He has been traveling abroad for several years and is quite famous in the sect. After the Tianqing Temple was repaired, he came to Tianqing Temple to serve as the abbot. He did not find any problems."

Since knowing about Chunlan, Hou Dayong was in a bad mood. He said, "You must keep a close eye on two things. One is the situation of Zhao Kuangyin's troops, pay close attention to the progress, and still find suitable candidates in the front office of the palace. The other is the Tianqing Temple. This is the reason, it is difficult to relieve my hatred. However, don't take action for the time being. This matter involves many generals and powerful people. If you are not careful, it will become a scandal in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Let me think about it carefully before talking about it."

After Meng Shu left, Hou Dayong suppressed his anger and sat in the room for more than an hour. Even men could not bear Chunlan's doing such a thing, let alone Hou Dayong, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.

When she returned to the main courtyard, Fu Ying was in a bad mood. Qiu Ju and Chunlan were Hou Dayong's concubine. It was very normal to spend the night at the concubine's concubine, but Fu Ying was still a little unhappy. Seeing Hou Dayong's face was not good, she still asked with concern: "Mr., who made you angry?" Then she asked again, "Did you see Xiao Lu last night?" Fu Ying originally wanted to ask whether to go to Qiu Ju or Chunlan's courtyard, but this always made her feel jealous, so she pretended to ask Xiao Lu.

Hou Dayong said with a silence: "Come to the room, I have something to ask you?"

When the two entered the house, Hou Dayong leaned against Hu Jie and asked, "Does Madam Fu have some opinions about Chunlan? What is the reason?"

Fu Ying thought Hou Dayong was unhappy because of this, and he was a little unhappy. He turned his head and said, "Is it Qiu Ju who said it? Yes, I have scolded Chunlan several times."

"Why?"

Fu Ying looked up at Hou Dayong. Although she was angry, she decided to hide it for Chunlan and save some face for Hou Dayong, and said, "It's nothing, it's just a small matter between women, don't worry about it."

Hou Dayong sighed, "Does your wife know about Tianjing Temple?"

Fu Ying was startled and said, "Did you know the reason for Tianjing Temple?"
