Dark Palm Jiaozhi Chapter 35 Returning with a Full Load

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Entering Taiyuan City, Zhou Shixiong's eyes were opened.  Taiyuan City is the cleanest city he has ever seen, even cleaner than the Forbidden City.  Zhou Shixiong's surprised expression was seen by Fan Gandi, and suddenly Fan Gandi felt that Ji Hongchang was not so annoying.

    In addition to being clean, Taiyuan City also has another special feature, that is, it has built a large number of Buddhist temples. There is a temple in almost every street.  Half of the residents in the city are wearing cassocks, decorating the entire Taiyuan City like a Buddhist kingdom.  And Van Gandhi's government office is the largest temple in the city, with all three main halls including the Bell and Drum Tower, and even the stupas of the Buddhas of the past dynasties.

    Zhou Shixiong looked at the black-haired Fan Gandi and thought, why is this guy not bald when he lives in a temple?  After passing through the back door of the temple and entering a large house, Zhou Shixiong realized that there was still a yamen, but he had to pass through the temple to enter the yamen.

    The two palace masters entered the main hall to discuss matters. Zhou Shixiong, his godson, was not qualified to participate. They were led by servants into a small courtyard, which was probably a guest room or something.  The first meeting between the two palace masters went very quickly. In less than an hour, Ruan Fubao came to the small courtyard.

    "Father, are you done talking?" It took two hours to finish talking, which is a bit efficient.

    "What are we talking about? Mr. Fan said that the restriction that one prefecture can only bid for one land must be lifted, otherwise he will not agree." Understand, Fan Gandhi would rather be a fish in water to win the two towns of Beizhu Prefecture.

    "Yes, if the restrictions are lifted, the house that has already photographed a town must pay double the price to compensate the other two houses." Zhou Shixiong was ruthless enough. He raised the price and also brought in the other two houses.  It's obviously extortion of money.

    "Hongchang, is this too cruel? Don't look at the Buddhism everywhere in Taiyuan City. These monks kill people without even trembling." Zhou Shixiong happened to be interested in these two strange things in Taiyuan City and immediately asked  , "Father, Hongchang has traveled throughout most of the Ming Dynasty and has never seen a place like Taiyuan City. It is so clean."

    "It's a long story, Hongchang. The ancestor of the Fan family was the head of the Champa Kingdom. He was a devout Buddhist. He made Buddhism the state religion. People must worship Buddha and make offerings to Buddhist masters. And Buddhism  Then a monk army was established to protect the Champa Kingdom. When he was old, every king would abdicate the throne and escape into Buddhism to become a Buddha to protect the Fan family." Zhou Shixiong understood that this was a pure political and religious system. The king not only controlled the state power but also controlled the whole family.  It has captured the minds of the people, which is amazing.  But what does this have to do with cleanliness?

    "The sixth generation ancestor of the Fan family is the one with the most wisdom in the Fan family. When he served as the Buddha Lord in his later years, he clearly understood the true meaning of the Buddha Land and believed that it is difficult to purify the Buddha Land if it is not pure in this world. For this reason, he made a decree, instructing believers to purify their bodies and clean their houses.  Equanimity, turning Champa into a spotless Buddha land. This rule continues to this day, and you can see the results."

    Zhou Shixiong had an idea when he heard this, "Father, since Mr. Fan is a Buddhist, does he believe in cause and effect and reincarnation?"

    "Of course I believe it. The temple he built for himself is called Yanfu Temple. The main hall is dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Mr. Fan himself said that he hopes to continue blessings for future generations when he gets down there. That sounds nice. I think he hopes that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will be preserved.  Bodhisattva bless him to be reincarnated and continue to be the master of the palace!" Damn, he used such a high-end power as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva just to be the master of the palace. I don't know if it is Ruan Fubao's low requirements or Van Gandhi's lack of knowledge.  Zhou Shixiong found that he couldn't complain.

    After Ruan Fubao finished speaking, seeing Ji Hongchang in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "Hongchang, why do you ask this?"

    "Oh, foster father, that's what Hong Chang thinks. When the Champa Kingdom was destroyed by the Nguyen Phuc family, this was the reason, and the Pham family wanted to take revenge. This was the result. Ruan Phuc Thu acted rebelliously and tried to seize the power of the clan chief. The foster father resisted Ruan Phuc Thu.  The result. These two causal lines are now intertwined. Master Fan and his adoptive father are natural allies. If Master Fan wants to complete the result of revenge, he must get the help of his adoptive father. And the adoptive father wants to avenge his father's murder.  Master Fan's support is indispensable." Zhou Shixiong made a paradoxical causal relationship and confused Ruan Fu.

    "Stop, let's talk first about why Lord Fan needs my help if he wants to take revenge?" Ruan Fubao was not stunned yet, at least he grasped one key point.

    Zhou Shixiong said confidently, "Father, although the Ruan Phuc family is overpowered by the Mo family, Li family and Zheng family, everyone knows how powerful the Ruan Phuc family is. The Taiyuan Prefecture alone can stand up to the Ruan Phuc family.  Fight? Even if Master Fan captures Tuyen Quang Mansion, so what? How can the heads of the Ruan Phuc family of Ajiang and Yen Bai Prefectures sit back and watch! Under the attack of the two governments' coalition forces, it is inevitable that Master Fan will not be able to defend Tuyuan Quang Mansion.  Maybe even Taiyuan Mansion can¡¯t be saved.¡±

    What Zhou Shixiong said is not an exaggeration at all. The Nguyen Phuc family owned four mansions in the Northern and Northern Dynasties of Vietnam, which was unmatched by any other surname.  If the Nguyen Phuc family had not been fighting among themselves and could not work together, it would have been the Trinh family's turn to take charge of the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam.

    "Hongchang is right, but what does it have to do with me?" Ruan Fubao can only become the head of a house because of his good fortune. Even Zhou Shixiong said that he still hasn't figured out the key yet.??

    "Father, Fan's attack on Xuanguang Mansion will inevitably lead to attacks from Ajiang and Anpei Mansion. So what if the person who attacks Xuanguang Mansion is his adoptive father?" Zhou Shixiong felt that he couldn't say any more. Did he teach his little friend a lesson?  Too white is boring.

    Fortunately, Ruan Fubao finally understood what Ji Hongchang wanted to express. He pondered for a long time before slowly nodding his head, "Hongchang is really a great talent. It would be different if it were someone else. With Hongchang giving me advice, let's see what you, Van Gandhi, can come up with."  Come on!" With Zhou Shixiong's advice, Ruan Fubao understood how to fool him.  The next day, the second meeting between the two palace masters lasted for a long time. It was not until the evening that Ruan Fubao returned to the guest house drunk.

    Zhou Shixiong, who had been in a daze all day, quickly helped Ruan Fubao into the bedroom. Ruan Fubao lay down and said with a smile, "I finally got it, haha."

    On the way out of Taiyuan Mansion, Zhou Shixiong learned the details of this negotiation.  Nguyen Phuc Bao took advantage of the strength of the hostile forces to force Van Gandhi into submission.  The two sides entered into an alliance with Lang Son as the main focus. This alliance will only take effect when targeting Tuyen Quang.  There are two main clauses. One is that when attacking Xuanguang Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion must provide full assistance, and the number of troops sent should not be less than 30,000.  Moreover, no towns in Tuyen Quang Province should be occupied afterwards, and Tuyen Quang Province must be completely handed over to Lang Son Province.

    Since there is certainly something to be gained for your efforts, Nguyen Phuc Bao promised that after occupying Tuyen Quang Palace, he would use Bac Giu Palace as a reward, and the two parties would formally form an alliance to jointly deal with external threats.

    "Exchanging Beijifu for Xuanguang Fu seems like Fan Gandi suffered a big loss, but in fact this is not the case.  Nguyen Phuoc Thuy is the current head of the Nguyen Phuoc clan. Killing him is tantamount to avenging the destruction of the country, which is of great significance at this level.  Not to mention the Beijia Mansion as compensation, even if there was no compensation, Van Gandhi would agree.  As for the auction, it became a tool for Taiyuan Prefecture to provide blood transfusion to Lang Son Prefecture, and handed over the urgently needed materials to Lang Son Prefecture in the name of purchasing towns.

    Of course, these things must be repaid to Taiyuan Province after Lang Son Province occupied Tuyen Quang Province. This is not the legendary internationalist aid.

    Ruan Phu Bao traveled around three houses this time and achieved unexpected and huge results. At the same time, the status of Ji Hongchang, the adopted son, increased rapidly and reached the point where he could not leave. As soon as Ruan Phu Bao got up, he would ask about Hongchang's presence.  No matter where, Ji Hongchang could not sleep with him!

    The people accompanying him no longer dared to call him Master Hongchang like before, and they all called him Master Ji.  Ruan Phu Bao did not reprimand him when he heard it, and officially announced that he would call him that way in the future.  It seems that Ruan Phu Bao plans to train Ji Hongchang, his godson, to be the master of the palace.

    It is not surprising that Nguyen Phuc Bao has such a plan. After two wars, Tuyen Quang Mansion did not have many soldiers left.  It is impossible to withstand the attacks of Taiyuan and Lang Son. As long as Lang Son gets the soldiers and armor it needs, and Lang Son sends 10,000 troops, plus Taiyuan¡¯s 30,000 troops, it is almost certain that Tuyen Quang will be captured.  thing.  The only variable is whether the A Giang and Yen Bai governments will intervene. If they intervene and support Nguyen Phuc Thu, the consequences will be unpredictable.

    Of course Ruan Phu Bao will not allow this to happen. He has already thought about how to deal with it, and everything will have to wait until the auction is over.

    After returning to Lang Son Province, Zhou Shixiong wanted to go back to the craftsman camp to continue researching ways to improve the chariot, but Nguyen Phuc Bao refused. He called Zhou Shixiong to the study room and said, "Hong Chang, your great talent is not in skills but in strategy. As a craftsman,  What's the good thing? Why don't you leave Lang Son City to help your adoptive father, and you may not be able to take charge of a place in the future."

    Zhou Shixiong was anxious. Ruan Phu Bao made it clear. If he silently agreed, Ruan Phu Ajiang would definitely make trouble for him. After all, he was not Ji Hongchang, he was just an incarnation.  "Father, Hongchang received the love of his adoptive father and his aunt, and was able to worship at his knees. All he asked for was a status. I really don't have the ability or the idea to do so. Please take back my adoptive father's life."

    Nguyen Phuc Bao wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Shixiong firmly refused. Ruan Phuc Bao had to shelve the matter, but Ji Hongchang was still not allowed to leave Lang Son City.  Zhou Shixiong had no choice but to send Ma San to deliver a letter to Le Thi Villa, asking Nguyen Phu A Giang to come back to solve the problem.

    A few days later, Ruan Phu Ajiang returned to Lang Son City and immediately called Zhou Shixiong, "Hongchang, since eldest brother appreciates you so much, why not accept him."

    Zhou Shixiong never thought that Ruan Phu Ajiang would have such an attitude. He looked at Ruan Phu Ajiang in confusion and asked in confusion, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"

    Ruan Phu Ajiang smiled and tapped Zhou Shixiong's forehead with his finger, "You, you, you are so smart but you are so confused. Why did you build Lishi Villa in the first place? And why did you build a city in Tingli Town? Is it to leave a legacy for yourself?  Road! Don¡¯t forget that you are no longer the Marquis of Zhennan, and Pingxiang Prefecture is only temporarily under your control. Once the Ming Dynasty sends people to replace the officials of Pingxiang Prefecture, how can you still control Pingxiang Prefecture?  state?"

    Zhou Shixiong was stunned, right!  Didn't I go through all the trouble just to leave a way out?  If what Nguyen Phuoc A Giang said really happens,If you can't control your old nest, this retreat is no longer a retreat!
