i became the villain

Chapter 143 Relic
Dong Tiancheng's dream of being a strong man has not yet woken up.

He was awakened by an unexpected visitor.

This unexpected visitor was the eunuch of the imperial city.

That is to say, the person who specially served the emperor, this little eunuch came to look for Dong Tiancheng, not for personal affairs, but for business.

The little eunuch came with the emperor's imperial decree and announced it to Dong Tiancheng.

Unlike what was shown in the TV series, after the little eunuch Xuanzhi came, Dong Tiancheng and the others didn't need to kneel down three times and nine times, they just knelt down on the ground.

When the little eunuch read the imperial edict, he did not stand in front of the kneeling person to read the imperial edict, but stood at an angle of about [-] degrees in front of the kneeling person, and read the emperor's imperial edict in public.

the content of this decree.

It exceeded Dong Tiancheng's expectation.

Originally, Dong Tiancheng thought that the little eunuch came to read out the emperor's imperial edict because he was going to be promoted.

After all, he escorted the food safely to Xiangyang City with his men and horses, which is a credit to him.Helping the defenders of Xiangyang City, the inside and outside cooperated to eliminate the Northern Yuan Tartars who attacked Xiangyang City. This merit is two.Cracked the Hongyan Temple case in one fell swoop, eradicated the latent spots of the Northern Yuan Tartars nailed in the Great Song Dynasty, this merit three.

Credit one, is a small credit, insignificant.But credit two and credit three are proper super credits.These merits, large or small, are softened together, which is a great contribution to heaven.

For these merits, the emperor should be promoted to Dong Tiancheng's official position.

Otherwise, people's hearts will be hard to calm down.

But Dong Tiancheng was stunned because he didn't hear a hint of promotion from the emperor's imperial decree. Apart from the lack of promotion, Dong Tiancheng also smelled the smell of conspiracy.

There is only one content of the entire imperial decree from beginning to end, and that is to ask Dong Tiancheng to take his men and horses and set off to the South Shaolin Temple to look for the Buddha's relic.

Go to South Shaolin Temple, looking for Buddha relics?

After hearing this imperial edict, Dong Tiancheng was instantly stunned, his head as big as a cow.

The reason why Dong Tiancheng's head was as big as a bucket and as dumb as silk.

In the final analysis, to sum up, there are two.

The first one is about the relics of the Buddha hidden in the South Shaolin Temple.

Dong Tiancheng has studied art in South Shaolin Temple for more than ten years, and he has never heard of Buddha relics.I have never heard of it, how can I know where the Buddha's relic is placed?Therefore, he was stunned for a moment, at a loss and at a loss.

This is the first reason.

The second is the significance of Dong Tiancheng's trip to the South Shaolin Temple to collect the Buddha's relics.

Dong Tiancheng is an abandoned disciple of South Shaolin Temple, he was expelled from South Shaolin Temple.Letting Dong Tiancheng, an abandoned disciple of the South Shaolin Temple, lead his troops to the South Shaolin Temple to take the relics of the Buddha, is clearly a collection of evil intentions, with the idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

The Buddha's relic is the most important sacred object of the Buddhist family, how can it be handed over casually?The South Shaolin Temple could not hand over the relics of the Buddha, and Dong Tiancheng could not complete the task entrusted by the emperor.

Feudal society.

Resisting the decree and disrespecting it is a serious crime to exterminate the family.

At that time, Dong Tiancheng didn't say that if he kept his official position, he might not be able to save his life. If he had his family members around, he might not even be able to save his family's lives.

This is one of them.

Second, Dong Tiancheng is an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, even if there is a Buddha relic in Southern Shaolin, if he wants to dedicate the Buddha relic to the current emperor, he will not give it to Dong Tiancheng.

And Dong Tian has become his future and life, and he must force Nan Shaolin Temple to hand over the Buddha's relic.

Under coercion, South Shaolin Temple will definitely resist.

In this case, the two sides will definitely fight, and there will naturally be casualties.

So no matter what the final outcome is, Dong Tiancheng has already lost a step, perhaps because of this thought, so after hearing the content of the imperial decree, Dong Tiancheng was at a loss and at a loss.

This is the second reason.

Dong Tiancheng is not stupid, so he naturally thought of this.

Deliberately want not to accept the order.

But can't.

Do not accept orders.

It is also disrespectful.

Hey!
People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Dong Tiancheng had no choice but to sigh silently in his heart, and then he braced himself and took over this damned job.

The person who read out the imperial edict was Dong Tiancheng's acquaintance, and he was Xiao Guizi's father-in-law who served Eunuch Liu in the past. This was Dong Tiancheng's luck among his misfortunes.

old days.

Dong Tiancheng respected Xiao Guizi's father-in-law more, so Xiao Guizi's father-in-law's overall impression of Dong Tiancheng was not bad. After reading the decree, Dong Tiancheng directly stuffed a 1 taels of silver into Xiao Guizi's father-in-law's hand inside.

money.

There is no one who does not love.

Not to mention a lot of money.

Little Guizi's father-in-law, who thought he could only get a hundred and ten taels of silver, fell straight down under the attack of Dong Tiancheng's 1 taels of silver.

Smiling, he said to Dong Tiancheng: "General Dong, how can you be so mean? By the way, General Dong, this job is not an easy job. There are some big men in the court who want to be unfavorable to General Dong. General Dong must be careful." .”

"Mr. Xiao Guizi, Dong Tiancheng understands this. I just want to ask Mr. Guizi why he is so nice and suddenly wants me to go to the South Shaolin Temple to find the Buddha's relic?" Dong Tiancheng expressed his doubts in his heart, and then looked up. With Xiaoguizi father-in-law.

People can lie.

But the human eye cannot lie.

Sometimes, people's eyes can describe the most real thoughts in people's hearts, otherwise there would be no such saying that eyes are the windows of the soul.

"General Dong, it happened that the official family was seriously ill. I don't know who I heard. It said that there is a Buddha relic hidden in the South Shaolin Temple. This Buddha relic can have the magical effect of bringing the dead back to life. That's why the official family has the desire to seek the Buddha relic. Thoughts." Xiao Guizi told Dong Tiancheng what happened in detail without any concealment.

Dong Tiancheng who heard what happened.

It dawned on me.

did not expect.

There are so many twists and turns in it. According to the history that Dong Tian is familiar with, the current head of the Song Dynasty will die this year, and then Zhao Qi will take over. Zhao Qi has been in power for ten years. After his death, the little emperor came to power. Two years later, the Northern Yuan Tartars went down the Yangtze River and captured Lin'an. The queen mother carried the little emperor out of the city to surrender, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

Count the days.

Today's officials are almost at this time.

Thinking of Dong Tiancheng here, his mind suddenly moved. It seemed that there was a glimmer of hope for this unsolvable and fatal job he had accepted. This hope was the death of the current official and the new emperor took over.

"Father-in-law Xiao Guizi, I want to ask you something?" Dong Tiancheng asked Xiao Guizi as a peer.

"General Dong, it's okay to talk, as long as my little Guizi knows something, I will know everything and say everything." Xiao Guizi replied.

"Zhao Qi, Master Zhao, are you okay now?" Dong Tiancheng brought the topic to the future emperor Zhao Qi.

"General Dong, you said Zhao Qi." Xiao Guizi didn't expect that the person Dong Tiancheng inquired about was actually Zhao Qi. "The official family had already restored Lord Zhao to his post more than ten days ago. In addition, Lord Zhao also married a The concubine in the room, the name of the concubine seems to be Ling'er."
