Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on Huangjue Temple, coating the treetops, roofs, and the place where the mountain meets the sky with a layer of rose red.He Shaodong gritted his teeth and raised his head, and burst out a few words: "Kangxi, just wait and see! This time, I will make you come and go without leaving any bones!"

And it has been the seventh day since Kangxi made the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven.Although this was not the first time he worshiped the heavens after he came to power, this time the sacrifices to the heavens were different from the past.The previous sacrifice to heaven was nothing more than a ceremony, but this time sacrifice to heaven is done with one's life, so naturally one cannot neglect it.

Kangxi and Daiyu plus Lin Ruhai, the three of them took two fragrant chariots together, and Wei Shaoting and Mo Li each led 25 guards, all in green clothes and small hats, riding horses to escort them, very similar to the family members of the princes in Beijing The appearance of going out of the city for incense.On the other hand, Yinzuo and Yinxiang rode horses on both sides of Kangxi Luanyu and walked forward, while Lin Wenfu led a dozen secret guards to protect secretly.And behind the many guards, there are some civil and military officials who are seeing each other off.

After leaving the city, Kangxi ordered Wei Dongting to stand in front, because Huangjue Temple itself is not far away, even if it really counts, it is only thirty or forty miles away from the city.Therefore, Kangxi couldn't wait to be in Luanyu, so he stepped on a green horse, and then ordered the people to arrive at Huangjue Temple before dark.Because according to the rules, it is necessary to stay in Huangjue Temple for one night, and then the next morning can start offering sacrifices to heaven.

It was mid-October at that time, and as soon as I drove out of the city, I immediately felt that it was freezing cold.When Kangxi sat on the horse and built a pergola to watch, a mountain driveway stretched into the distance.The imperial horse, which was fed with egg mixture every day, slid every step, with white gas hissing from its nose.The mountains on both sides of the road are covered with snow.One by one, clumps of upright thorns, mountain plants, chestnuts, wild peaches and apricots, and wild cherries tremble in the wind on the snowy slope, like gray fog.The fine floating snow was blown by the strong wind of the mountain pass and drifted under the feet like smoke and dust.Seeing the slow progress, Kangxi and the guards got off their horses, pulled the bridle, and pushed the car forward step by step.

Suddenly, the car in front stopped, and Daiyu lifted the car curtain and leaned forward and asked, "Uncle Emperor, it's very cold, you must be tired after riding so many horses, why don't you get in the car and sit with us."

Kangxi's face was flushed from the cold, he held a whip in one hand, and breathed out with the other hand to his mouth. Hearing Daiyu ask himself, he raised the whip in his hand with great interest, and said with a smile: "Dai girl, you just sit, your uncle the emperor The body is very good, neither cold nor tired. Look at this posture, it will snow soon. I am just about to enjoy the scenery of 'Xueyonglanguan'!"

Daiyu looked up at the sky and saw the clouds all around, the wind was picking up, and she said worriedly: "I'm afraid I'm going to walk more slowly." Then said: "Uncle Emperor, it's better not to be brave, you are the one of ten thousand times. Master, if the body is broken, what can we do with this country?" Kangxi was about to answer, but Lin Ruhai's voice sounded coldly, saying: "Yu'er, it doesn't matter, this old man wants to pretend to be young, you just Just let him go, he deserves it for being cold and exhausted!"

Hearing this, Kangxi said out of anger, "Since you say that, I have to sit in that car!" After saying that, he got into the carriage, and then said, "Sure enough, it's much warmer in the carriage." Lin Ruhai Hearing this, he snorted coldly and ignored it.Kangxi knew Lin Ruhai's temper, so he didn't care about him. Daiyu saw him, but secretly laughed.

After a while, as expected, loose snow drifted down one after another.First, it is divided into fine beads and broken rice, and it becomes more and more violent as it goes down.But I saw thousands of flowers flying wildly, colorful jades, and balls and balls flying in the wind.The ancients said that "the snowflakes in Yanshan Mountain are as big as a mat", but now it seems that the snow in Beijing is falling in a "crash", muddy and gloomy, and the heaven, earth and universe are wrapped into a mess.Looking around, the mountains are covered with cages, the trees are vague, the roads are chaotic, and the rivers are also vast. No wonder such a rich man like Li Qinglian has to "draw his sword and look around at a loss" about it.

Although Daiyu said that she had been in the capital for the past few years, when had she ever seen such a scene, Dang even looked out of the window excitedly.Kangxi said with a smile: "Dai girl has always been very calm, but she never thought she would become so mischievous now." Lin Ruhai also laughed after hearing this: "Yu'er has always liked snow very much. When she was in Yangzhou, Whenever it snows, regardless of the cold, I build snowmen and have snowball fights in the yard, but I have more fun than boys.”

After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Daiyu lowered her head shyly, because she was angry with Lin Ruhai, she said: "How can there be such a father who talks about his daughter's embarrassing things!" After saying that, she stopped paying attention to Kangxi and Lin Ruhai.Kangxi and Lin Ruhai met each other, but they couldn't stop laughing.

While talking, Wei Shaoting came over and said: "Your Majesty, you will arrive at Huangjue Temple in half an hour. Now there is an inn in front of you. Do you want to take a rest?" Keep going." When Wei Shaoting heard this, he agreed and continued to lead the crowd forward.

At the end of the application, Kangxi and his party finally arrived at Huangjue Temple.This Huangjue Temple was originally located in Yingtianfu, Jinling, where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk when he was young. Later, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved his capital to Beiping, which is now the capital, and built a Huangjue Temple on the outskirts of the capital.At the beginning, people called the Huangjue Temple in Jinling "South Huangjue Temple", and the Huangjue Temple in the suburbs of Beijing was called "North Huangjue Temple". on many.Therefore, people changed the name of Huangjue Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to "Da Huangjue Temple", while that in Jinling became "Little Huangjue Temple".

As soon as he entered Huangjue Temple, he saw Master Kongwen coming to greet him.When Kangxi saw him, he deliberately asked, "Why don't you see Master Yuantong?" Master Kongwen clasped his palms together and said calmly, "Master is unwell and is resting in the Zen room. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Kangxi listened, because He smiled and said, "This is also excusable."

After hearing this, Master Kongwen only smiled, and led Kangxi and others to rest in the wing.As for Lin Wenfu and the hidden guards brought by Lin Wenfu, they rested in a small inn near Huangjue Temple.

It was night, and the night was getting darker. Lin Wenfu led a dozen secret guards and sneaked into Huangjue Temple, secretly investigating the conspiracy of Master Kongwen and Tiandihui, as well as the location of Master Yuantong.Unexpectedly, Zheng met the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang.

Lin Wenfu said: "Why doesn't the thirteenth elder brother protect the emperor? I just leave it to my subordinates to investigate the news." Yinxiang said: "There are six elder brothers who protect the emperor, so there must be no one." But here, I am worried, Sister Yu'er said that there may be more than a dozen red cannons hidden in Huangjue Temple, if I don't find them in advance, how can I sleep peacefully?"

Lin Wenfu also knew Yinzuo's identity, so Yinxiang did not hide it, and directly called Yinzuo "sixth brother".But Lin Wenfu was relieved when he heard that Kangxi was protected by Yinzuo. After all, Yinzuo's martial arts were much higher than his.

So Yinxiang, Lin Wenfu and others split up and searched, and within an hour, they searched all the halls and halls of Huangjue Temple, but found no clues.Just as he was worrying, he suddenly heard the sound of an old man coughing faintly from the inner wall of the Daxiong Palace.

Yin Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, because he said to Lin Wenfu: "I think this must be Master Yuantong's voice." Lin Wenfu said: "This subordinate also thinks the same, but it's better to be careful in the end." Yinxiang nodded, and sneaked into the Daxiong Palace with Lin Wenfu.

After searching around, Lin Wenfu found a candle holder on the ledge, but it was a bit weird. After turning it slightly, he saw a dark room exposed on the wall.Yinxiang and Lin Wenfu looked at each other, then walked in, but they saw Master Yuantong sitting on the futon, his face was black and blue, as if he had been poisoned.

After Lin Wenfu detoxified Yuantong, Master Yuantong slowly opened his eyes. After seeing Yinxiang's face, he hurriedly said: "Brother Thirteen, hurry up, tell the emperor, the emperor from Huangjue Temple On the back mountain, there are more than a dozen red cannons hidden!"

Yinxiang and Lin Wenfu were surprised when they heard the words.After a long time, Yin Xiangfang calmed down, thought carefully, and said to Lin Wenfu: "Your lightness kung fu is higher than mine, but you are quicker to tell Huang Ama these news. Destroy their lair!"

When Lin Wenfu heard what Yinxiang said, he couldn't help admiring him, because he said: "Yes, this subordinate takes orders." He took a dozen secret guards to protect Kangxi.However, Yinxiang knew that there was an imperial forest army stationed near Huangjue Temple, and Kangxi had already given him the token to dispatch the imperial forest army. Controlling those dozens of red-clothed cannons, those rebels will definitely catch them all!

In the early morning of the next day, Kangxi asked Master Kongwen to prepare the things for the sacrifice to heaven. Master Kongwen agreed and ordered the little novice to prepare the things.In addition, He Shaodong was secretly informed that he was ready to do it at any time!

When He Shaodong saw the news from Master Kongwen, he was very excited, so he ordered more than a dozen red cannons to be aimed at the altar for worshiping heaven.However, he never thought that suddenly, many imperial forest soldiers would suddenly appear at the place where he was and surrounded him.

When He Shaodong saw this, he was startled, and asked: "Who are you?" At this moment, Yinxiang walked out, and Yin smiled coldly, and said: "Who do you think we are?"After listening to Yinxiang's order, those Yulin soldiers threw out the torches in their hands one after another. Immediately, the back mountain of Huangjue Temple was full of flames.

When Lin Wenfu saw the flames, he ordered in a low voice, and immediately many hidden guards descended from the sky, capturing Master Kongwen and many young monks.It turned out that Yinxiang and Lin Wenfu had made an appointment a long time ago, and they set fire to it, and they all took down the rebels at the altar of Houshan.Therefore, before He Shaodong and Master Kongwen came back to their senses, they were already restrained by Yinxiang and Lin Wenfu.

Just when Kangxi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they saw a flash of cold light, and a three-foot long sword was about to stab Kangxi.Yinzuo wanted to rescue him, but it was too late, so he had to block his body in front of Kangxi.

When Kangxi saw this, he was shocked. Just when he thought that Yinzuo was going to die, Daiyu had already swung out a piece of green silk to restrain the assassin, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Come on?" The assassin heard, and asked, "How do you know it's me?"

Daiyu said: "Although I don't know why you defend He Shaodong like that, I know that wherever He Shaodong haunts, you, Chen Jinnan, must be there. So last night I thoroughly checked all the people in Huangjue Temple. Sure enough, I found you. It is more accurate to say that I want to take you Chen Jinnan instead of He Shaodong and Master Kongwen today!"

When Chen Jinnan heard about it, Yin let out a long sigh and said, "I never thought that I would be wise all my life, and I would lose to a woman in the end!"

Daiyu said: "Finally, Mr. Chen, why did you rescue He Shaodong in every possible way? If you just say that He Shaodong is the son of Princess Changping, the reason is too far-fetched. And as far as I know, the Jia family and You guys are somewhat involved, that Qin Keqing's identity, you must have sent someone to reveal it to the Jia family, right?"

Chen Jinnan smiled and said: "You are indeed a smart woman, indeed. Since you want to know, then I will tell you that Shaodong is my own son. The person who rescued Princess Changping was not a guard, but me. Shaodong is the son of me and Gu Xi (Princess Changping's maiden name)!"

Daiyu listened, nodded, and said: "So, I understand!" Chen Jinnan suddenly said: "Princess Chenyu, can you persuade the emperor to let Shaodong live? I will exchange my life." Daiyu Yu shook his head and said, "If I knew today, why bother?"

Hearing this, Chen Jinnan couldn't help laughing wryly, and said: "Yes, I knew today, why bother? I was too persistent with Aimee, and finally killed Shaodong!" After saying that, Chen Jinnan bit his tongue and committed suicide.When everyone saw it, they sighed endlessly.
