After all the guards resigned, Wei Xiaobao went to see the abbot, and said that since he had the emperor's order, he had to leave tomorrow to go to Qingliang Temple. Abbot Hui Cong said: "That should be the case. The master and disciple are born with Su Hui, who understand the meaning of Buddhism, but unfortunately we don't have many days to meet, and we have to separate, so we don't have much discussion, and we can participate in the Dharma together. I think this is the reason. I don't know. Which monks do you want to bring with you?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I want Chengguan, the first nephew in the Prajna Hall, and I want the eighteen nephews in the Luohan Hall." In addition, he ordered more than ten monks who were compatible with him, and made up a total of All thirty-six.

Hui Cong had no objection, summoned the thirty-six Shaolin monks, said that Zen Master Huiming was going to abbot Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai, and told them to go with them, protect the Dharma and practice, and follow the orders of Zen Master Huiming, and they must not violate it. Early the next morning, Wei Xiaobao and the thirty-six monks bid farewell to the abbot and others.When he came down the mountain, he went to see Shuang'er alone. Shuang'er lives in a private house and has been separated from him for more than half a year. At first glance, there are surprises and surprises. Although Zhang Kangnian told him that the master has become a monk in Shaolin Temple, I don't know how many times I cried. At this time, I saw his bald monk's robe with my own eyes. Couldn't help crying again.

Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Good Shuang'er, why are you crying? It's my fault that I haven't come to see you these days, is it?" Shuang'er cried: "No...it's not. You...you...my husband has become a monk..." Wei Xiaobao grabbed her right hand, lifted it up, kissed lightly on the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it's a lie for your husband to be a monk." Shuang'er was both happy and ashamed, even her ears were red. Wei Xiaobao looked at her face carefully, and saw that she looked haggard and lost a lot of weight, but her body had grown taller, and she was even more graceful and graceful. He smiled and said, "Why have you lost weight? You think of me every day, don't you?" Shuang'er blushed. , wanted to shake his head, but slowly lowered his head.Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, change into men's clothes soon, come with me." Shuang'er was overjoyed, without asking any further questions, immediately changed into men's clothes, still pretending to be a bookboy.

A group of people had nothing to say all the way, and they came to the foot of Mount Wutai within a day.Just as he was about to go up the mountain, he saw four monks coming up to welcome him. An old monk put his palms together first and asked, "Are all of you masters from Shaolin Temple?" Wei Xiaobao nodded.The old monk said: "This one must be a Zen master with an obscure Dharma name?" Wei Xiaobao nodded again.The four monks prostrated themselves together and said: "The monks are overjoyed to learn that the Zen master came to abbot Qingliang. They have been waiting at the foot of the mountain for many days."

Since Chengguang returned to Shaolin Temple, Qingliang Temple was presided over by the old monk Fasheng.Kangxi sent another person to issue a secret decree to Fasheng, and sent him to Chang'an Ciyun Temple to be the abbot. Once the Shaolin monks came, he would hand over.Chang'an Ciyun Temple was much bigger than Qingliang Temple, Fa Sheng was very happy and sent four monks to welcome him at the foot of Mount Wutai. Wei Xiaobao and others came to Qingliang Temple and performed handover ceremony with Fa Sheng.All the monks came to see him.The three monks Yulin, Xingchi and Xingdian didn't come in person, but Yulin wrote an essay to see the new abbot.

Fasheng went down the mountain the next day, heading west to Chang'an, and Wei Xiaobao became the master of Qingliang Temple.Fortunately, Cheng Guang and other monks would point out all kinds of etiquette and rules at any time. When he was a young monk, he seemed to be the abbot, and there was no mistake. That day Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er chased away the enemy at Qingliang Temple and saved the lives of the monks of He Temple, all the monks had witnessed it, now they saw that he suddenly became a monk and came to Qingliang Temple to be the abbot again, it was all strange, but he did not The monastery has kindness, and all the monks are grateful.Wei Xiaobao ordered Shuang'er to live in a hut outside the temple, so that they could be reached immediately.

When he came to Qingliang Temple to be the abbot, the most important thing was to protect the old emperor's safety. He asked the deacon monks, and learned that the three monks Yulin, Xingchi, and Xingdian still lived in the small temple in the back mountain, and they would not go to disturb them at the moment, and Cheng Xin After the master discussed, he ordered people to build a thatched hut in the east, west, north, south and four directions half a mile away from the small temple, and sent eight Shaolin monks to take turns to be on duty in the thatched hut. Everything is certain, so I waited for Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian to send a letter, so as to know the origin of the green shirt girl's name, but after waiting for several months, there was no information at all. Became "that female benefactor", occasionally sneaking into Shuang'er's hut, telling her jokes and touching her little hands.Sometimes I think: "I have taken Master Hong's 'Baotai Yijin Pill', if I don't send a scripture to Shenlong Island within a year, the toxicity will flare up, it's not for fun, and there are not many left It's been a month. If I become old and stupid, exactly like my nephew Chengguan, when my green-clothed wife sees me, she will call me a "slick old monk", and cut a piece of cloth on her green skirt, Make me a hat and put it on, it's the worst!"


One day, he was bored and wandered around Mount Wutai alone, thinking only of the girl in the green shirt. When he walked to the bank of a mountain stream, he saw a weeping willow swaying in the wind, and thought, "If this willow tree My green-clothed wife, of course, I was not polite, stepped forward, and hugged her. She would definitely not obey, and used the Kunlun School's "Qianyan Jingxiu" to slap me several times one after another. That's okay. In the worst case, Lao Tzu used a stance of "begging for bowls along the door" to dispel it generously. Nephew Cheng Guan said that this move should make the lifting of the weight as light as possible, so as to show the demeanor of a decent martial arts. , don’t care what the fuck is famous, upright and evil? This move is issued, followed by a move of "Zhi Zhu is holding", the left hand grabs her left hand, the right hand grabs her right hand, firmly grasping, that is to kill my head I didn't let go..."

He was happy with his thoughts, and he used every move with his hands, with two puffs, each of his hands grabbed a willow branch, and he used all his strength to hold it firmly.Suddenly a person said in a rough voice: "Look at this little monk is going crazy!" Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, when he looked up, he saw three red-clothed lamas pointing and laughing at him.Wei Xiaobao's face turned red, and for a moment, he thought that they had seen through his own thoughts, that the majestic abbot of Qingliang Temple was in a deserted place, and it was too embarrassing for him to want to catch a beautiful girl, so he turned his head immediately then go.

Turning around a mountain road, several lamas came face to face.There are many lama temples on Mount Wutai, Wei Xiaobao didn't take it seriously, he just had something to do, he didn't want to face them head-on, turned his head, pretended to enjoy the scenery, and let the lamas pass by behind him.Only one lama said: "The decree from above requires us to catch up to Wutai Mountain before noon today. It is really urgent, but there is nothing to go up the mountain. Isn't that a joke?" Another lama Said: "There is always a reason for the arrangement of the superiors. You are reluctant to part with that little girl in Datong City, aren't you?"

Wei Xiaobao didn't care when he heard this, instead he had a good impression of them, he thought: "These lamas drink and go shopping in brothels, they are not serious. I really want to become a monk, I would rather be a lama than a monk." Back at Qingliang Temple, I saw Chengtong waiting at the gate of the mountain, as soon as he saw him, he immediately went up to meet him, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, I think the situation is not quite right." Seeing his serious face, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly asked: "how?" Chengtong beckoned, and walked up the stone steps with him to a small peak beside the temple.Wei Xiaobao glanced at it, and saw countless yellow dots in the south. Looking intently, those yellow dots turned out to be lamas wearing yellow clothes, there were not a thousand, there were nine hundred, in groups of three or five, scattered among the trees, mountains and rocks between.Wei Xiaobao was startled, and said: "What are there so many lamas for?" Cheng Tong pointed to the west, and said, "There are more over there." Or stand.The sun shines from east to west, and the white light is shining, and all the lamas are wearing weapons.Wei Xiaobao was even more surprised, said: "They are carrying weapons, could it be... Could it be..." He looked at Chengtong.Chengtong nodded slowly, and said, "My nephew guesses, it's the same." Wei Xiaobao turned to look north and east, there were hundreds of lamas on each side, and he looked carefully, he saw that some of the lamas were wearing dark yellow cassocks, they were the leaders of the group.Wei Xiaobao said: "His grandmother has at least four to five thousand people." Chengdao said, "One hundred and twenty-five leaders, a total of three thousand two hundred and eighty lamas." Wei Xiaobao praised: "There are really you, The count is so clear." Cheng said, "Then what should I do?" Wei Xiaobao was speechless.Facing difficult situations face to face, lying, deceiving, and escaping is a good trick. Now that the other party has mobilized more than 3,000 people to surround them, it is obvious that everything has been carefully planned. How to deal with it, then I have no idea. Hearing Chengtong's question, I can't Ask: "What should I do then?" Chengdao: "Look at the other party's intentions. They want to rob Master Xingzhi. Most likely, they will wait until night and attack from all directions." Wei Xiaobao said: "Why don't you attack now?" We have always been reconciled with the Qing Temple of the Shi family in the Central Plains. Our Qing Temple has many monks and monks, ten temples on the top of the platform, and ten temples outside the platform. Although the lamas of the Yellow Temple are domineering, they dare not bully them. , It is bound to arouse the solidarity of all Qing Temples." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then let's send people out immediately to inform the abbots of the Qing Temples, and ask them to send out more monks. Everyone will fight to the death with all the lamas. There are different sects: the monks of Wutai Mountain fought fiercely, and the monks of Qing Temple fought against the lamas." Cheng Tong shook his head and said: "Nine out of ten monks in the green temples on Mount Wutai don't know martial arts, and even those who know martial arts are mediocre. I haven't heard of anyone who is good at it." Wei Xiaobao said: "Then they don't want to come Did you come to help?" Chengdao said: "There will be no one who went to help, I'm afraid it will be in vain." Wei Xiaobao said: "Should we just surrender?" His fighting spirit has never been firm, and he wanted to surrender if he couldn't win.Chengdao: "It doesn't matter if we surrender, Master Xing Chi will definitely be taken captive by them." Wei Xiaobao pondered: "I don't know if the Shaolin monks know about Master Xingchi's identity." He asked, "What is their purpose in coming here to rob Master Xingchi? They came here a few months ago, thanks to all of you Good friends frightened them away. This time, there are much more people here." Chengtong pondered, "Master Xingchi must have a lot of history, not because he was involved in the rise and fall of the martial arts in the Central Plains, but he had a relationship with Qingmiao and Huangmiao. There is a major connection to the dispute. Senior brother Cheng Xin never mentioned the reason for this. Since the senior uncle didn’t know, we don’t know even more.” Wei Xiaobao remembered that he had the emperor's handwritten imperial letter on his body, so he could dispatch civil and military officials, and said: "The matter is urgent now. Although our Shaolin monks have high martial arts skills, they are outnumbered. Thirty-seven monks, how can they beat him with more than three thousand lamas? I must You have to go down the mountain immediately and ask for help." Cheng Tong said, "I'm afraid the far water won't be able to save the near fire." Wei Xiaobao said, "Then let's escort Master Xing Chi and rush out." Cheng Tong nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way. The three of us Seventeen Shaolin monks, together with the teacher's uncle Tong'er, is absolutely impossible to resist more than 3000 lamas, but it is not difficult to rush out of the gap." Wei Xiaobao said: "Just I'm afraid Master Xingchi and his master Master Yulin won't agree, they say that life and death are the same, it doesn't matter if you escape or not." Chengtong frowned and said, "I need to ask my uncle to persuade me." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "There is still a way to persuade Master Xingchi. I want to persuade the old monk of Yulin, but I will admit defeat. This is called a mouse pulling a turtle. There is no place to talk." Looking down, I saw a group of lamas Sitting everywhere, it seems to be disorganized, but evenly distributed, and there are many people on the passage up and down the mountain. Seeing that the sky was dark, these three thousand lamas rushed up, and the monks in Qingliang Temple only shouted "My Buddha is merciful" For the sake of it, I thought to myself: "Damn it, what kind of monk is I? If I become a lama, wouldn't I be very proud at the moment, and I don't need to worry about it? I usually eat meat and go to kilns, and that doesn't count." As soon as he thought of the word "go shopping in a kiln", a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he was already thinking about it, and immediately said calmly, "I'll go back to the meditation room and sleep for a fucking sleep." Cheng Tong was stunned and stared.Wei Xiaobao didn't pay any attention to him, went down the peak, went back to the temple and entered the room.
After a while, the four monks Cheng Xin, Cheng Guan, Cheng Guang and Cheng Tong came to ask for an audience.Wei Xiaobao let the four of them into the room, and seeing the panicked expressions on everyone's faces, he stretched, yawned, and asked lazily: "What's the matter, everyone?" Chengxin said: "The gathering of lamas at the foot of the mountain will obviously harm our monastery. I would like to hear how the abbot and uncle will deal with it." Wei Xiaobao said: "I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with any good ideas, so I had to go to sleep. Everyone is doomed, so we have to suffer , the knife hits the neck, and when someone cuts it with the knife, hit him with the neck, and see if the knife is sharp and whether it can cut in." Cheng Xin and the three monks knew that he was talking nonsense, but Cheng Guan believed it, and said: "The knives of the lamas seem to be very sharp, and our necks can't withstand them. Uncle, monks don't fight against the world, just accept what comes, It's not bad. But it's too much to suffer from the knife. Patriarch Bodhidharma didn't teach people to just suffer from the knife and not resist, otherwise, everyone wouldn't have to learn martial arts." Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "According to the opinion of Master Nephew Chengguan, Is it okay to receive a knife to the neck?" Cheng Guan said: "No. But it is okay if you receive it from the chest with a fist, or from the abdomen with your feet." He has deep internal energy, and he can punch and kick him without resisting. As long as you use your internal strength, you can bounce people's fists and feet back. Wei Xiaobao said: "Those lamas are all carrying sabers and Zen sticks, I wonder if there is any way to persuade them not to use weapons?" Cheng Guan was stunned, and said: "I'm afraid these lamas are unreasonable, it seems that it will take a while to get them to put down the butcher's knives achievement." Wei Xiaobao said: "This is difficult. I don't know what clever plan the four nephews have?" Cheng Xin said: "For the current plan, only everyone can save Yulin, Xingchi, and Xingdian, and take advantage of the gap to rush out. They The purpose is to rob Master Xingzhi, the rest of the monks in the monastery don't know martial arts, forgive these lamas and won't do harm." Wei Xiaobao said: "Alright, let's go and talk to those three old monks." Immediately led the four monks to the small temple in the back mountain.The little novice announced to go in, Yulin and others heard the abbot's arrival, and went out to welcome him.Upon seeing it, Yulin, Xingchi, and Xingdian were all astonished.The three monks only heard that the new abbot, Zen Master Huiming, was the younger brother of Abbot Huicong of Shaolin Temple, a very young eminent monk, but unexpectedly it was him. Yulin and Xingchi immediately understood that it was the emperor's arrangement to protect their father.The rules of the Buddhist family are very strict, and the abbot is the master of the temple, and Yulin and others see it with courtesy.Wei Xiaobao respectfully returned the gift, and entered the meditation room together. Yulin asked him to sit down on the futon in the middle, and the rest stood on both sides.Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed: "I sit in the middle, the old emperor stands by and waits on me, even the little emperor is not so majestic." Suppressing a smile, he said: "Master Yulin, Master Xingchi, please sit down." Yulin and Xing Chi sat down. Yulin said: "Master Abbot, the abbot is Qingliang, and I am very disturbed that the abbot will visit you in the future, and the abbot will descend in person." Wei Xiaobao said, "It's easy to say. I know the three of you don't like being disturbed by others, so I haven't come to see you all this time. If it wasn't for you A big event happened today, so I still won’t come.” He often heard old monks call themselves “Old Monk” modestly, thinking that he was young, so he called himself “Little Monk”.When the monks heard that he was whimsical and invented a name, they couldn't help laughing secretly.Yulin said, "Yes." But he didn't ask what the big deal was. Wei Xiaobao said: "Nephew Chengguang, please tell the three of you." Yulin knew that the new abbot's dharma name was "Hui Ming", and he also knew that the generation of "Hui" in Shaolin Temple was a generation higher than the generation of "Cheng", but seeing this The young monk was slippery, but he was still taken aback when he called this dignified and benevolent old monk, the former abbot of the temple, "nephew". Cheng Guang respectfully agreed, and then told the story that there are thousands of lamas besieged around the temple. Yulin closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Master Abbot, how to deal with it." Wei Xiaobao said: "These lama monks are sitting or standing around this temple, they just enjoy the scenery, they have no other intention. The scenery here is elegant, and there are some of them who come to visit the mountains and rivers." Xingdian couldn't help but said: "If it is to enjoy the scenery , will not surround the temple, and will not go for several hours. They must want to come and arrest senior brother Xingchi." Wei Xiaobao said: "I think that the blue temples and yellow temples in the world are all the Shi family under my Buddha seat Disciple, if they want to invite Master Xingzhi to go, they must admire the profound teachings of the three masters. Please go to the lama temple to give lectures. Maybe all the lamas admire my Buddhism in China. If you stop being a lama and become a monk, then It is also an excellent opportunity." Xingdian shook his head again and again, disapproving, and said: "Not necessarily, not necessarily." Cheng Guan said: "Uncle Abbot, why did they all bring weapons?" Wei Xiaobao clasped his hands together and said, "They brought Zen sticks and knives, and they were aggressive. Maybe they really wanted to kill the head of the monks in this temple. The Buddha said: 'I will not go to hell. , who will go to hell?' We will suffer from the knife. This is called I will not beheaded, who will be beheaded? There is no birth and death, no dirt and no cleanness. There is birth, so there is death, and there is a head, so there is killing. The Buddha has three virtues: Great Ding, Great Wisdom, and Great Compassion. All the lamas came with knives, and we didn’t hear or see, and didn’t see or know. It's a knife, it's for great wisdom; it cut off our bald heads with one knife, and everyone is mourning, it's for great compassion." He lived in the temple for a long time, heard a lot of words in Buddhist scriptures, and then talked nonsense.Cheng Guan said: "Uncle Abbot, the word for "big compassion" is probably the compassion of compassion, not the compassion of sorrow." Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "My nephew is also right. I think the Buddha cut his flesh to feed the eagle and gave up his life to feed the tiger. It is really merciful. Although those lamas are fierce and stubborn, they will be better than vicious eagles and tigers. Then we sacrifice our lives It is also a heart of great kindness and great compassion." Cheng Guan said together: "Master Uncle's wonderful wisdom is admirable." Wei Xiaobao said: "In the past, Master Yulin once said: 'Monks don't compete with the world, just accept what comes. .If there is a calamity in Qingliang Temple, it is inevitable.' We passed away under the knife of the evil lama together, and went to the Western Paradise together. The journey was very lively, but it was also very interesting." All the monks looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that although Wei Xiaobao's words were reasonable, they were too pedantic after all, and they might have misinterpreted Buddhism.Cheng Xin and Cheng Tong also felt that these words were completely inconsistent with his usual behavior, and guessed that what he said was ironic, most likely to provoke Yulin and Xing Chi to ask for help.Only one person, Cheng Guan, believed it without any doubt, and praised him happily. The monks were silent for a while.Xingdian suddenly said loudly: "Master once said that the Tibetan lamas want to arrest senior brother because they want to torture all people and occupy our colorful world. Our own life and death don't matter, tens of thousands of people are bullied by them." Isn’t oppression a great crime? Master once said, we must not allow them to behave like this.” Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "Senior brother's words are very reasonable, and it is a level higher than what I saw. It's just that the lama is powerful now, and we are afraid that we will be outnumbered." Xingdian said: "We have protected the master and brother. I'm going out, I think the evil lamas won't be able to stop them." Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm afraid that if we fight together, we will inevitably kill all the lamas. Amitabha, my Buddha has the virtue of loving life. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda and killing people. One life is like dismantling an eight-level pagoda. Among all the Buddhist precepts, killing is the first. What should we do?" Xingdian said: "They are coming to kill people. We have no choice but to protect ourselves. If we can not kill people, of course it is the best Alright, but we can’t just sit back and wait for death.” Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door, Shaolin monk Chengjue stepped in quickly, and said: "Qi to the master abbot: All the lamas at the bottom of the mountain went up the mountain together just now, and they approached about a hundred feet and stopped." Wei Xiaobao said: "Why did you go up the mountain?" After a certain distance, but stopped again? I am afraid that I was suddenly influenced by my Buddha, and I developed a heart of repentance, and understood the truth of turning back and being right." Xing Dian said in a loud voice: "No, no, they waited until it got dark, and rushed in." He was a general of the Zhenghuang Banner in the past. He was the head of the imperial guards of Shunzhi. Wei Xiaobao said: "As soon as they enter the main hall of our temple and see the majestic appearance of my Buddha Tathagata, they suddenly hang... what kind of reining in their horses, there are some." Xing Dian said angrily: "You little abbot, you are really stupid... ...Hu...ah, no way." At first he wanted to say "I'm really stupid", but he finally realized that he shouldn't be rude to the abbot, and when he got to the point of speaking, he suddenly reined in. Yulin kept silent all the time, listening to the debate, seeing the veins popping out on Xingdian's forehead, speaking louder and louder, smiled slightly, and said: "Xingdian, you are really confused. Why worry so much?" Xing Dian was taken aback, and said, "Ah, it turns out that Master Abbot has a clever strategy." Wei Xiaobao frowned, and said: "I don't have a good plan. Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best plan. Since everyone said that it is better to rush out, then let's rush out! But unless it is absolutely necessary, we must not hurt more lives. "Xingdian, Chengxin and others agreed in unison.Wei Xiaobao said: "Then everyone tidy up, and when it gets dark, before they make a move, let's rush down first. We rush east to the town of Fuping County. No matter how evil these lamas are, they dare not openly attack the county town." And so on are all good. Xing Chi suddenly said: "I am an ominous body, and I have killed many lives for me last time. Even if they escaped the disaster this time, they are still determined. If you create more killing karma, there will be no end." Xingdian said: "Brother, these evil lamas want to kidnap you and harm the people of the world." Xingzhi sighed: "I am a disaster in the world. When they come, I will burn myself in public and let them die from now on." That's it." Xing Dian hurriedly said: "Huang... Huang... No, senior brother, that is absolutely impossible, I will burn myself on your behalf." Xing Chi smiled slightly and said: "You replace me What's the use of burning my body? They just want to catch me and hold me back." The monks were silent for a while.Yulin said: "Excellent, excellent! Idiots have already realized the Dao, and this is the true meaning of the Buddha's saying, 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell'." Wei Xiaobao cursed in his heart: "Smelly monk, what he said is true, Am I talking about false righteousness?" Yulin said again: "When the lamas of the congregation arrive, the old monk and Xingzhi will be burned together, the master abbot and all the senior brothers must not stop him." Wei Xiaobao and the monks looked at each other in amazement. Xing Chi said slowly: "In the past when the city was plundered and the people were devastated, the little monk has already died a hundred times and there is no redemption. Today, he can sacrifice his life for the common people, but it is just to pay for the crimes of the past. If we continue to fight because of the little monk, it will hurt more." Human life, that will increase my karma. I have made up my mind, and I ask everyone to support and make this karma possible. If I can influence all the lamas through this, it will be a good thing to get rid of evil and turn to good." Get up and bow to Wei Xiaobao and the five Shaolin monks.
Cheng Xin waited to see his expression, it was obvious that his heart was very firm, and it was difficult to speak, so he had to resign and return to the Manjusri Hall.Wei Xiaobao summoned thirty-six Shaolin monks to tell him they knew about it.All the monks said that if the two masters wanted to set themselves on fire to eliminate their karma, that was absolutely unacceptable, and they had no choice but to use force to stop it. Wei Xiaobao said: "Everyone should protect the three masters well, right?" All the monks said in unison: "Yes!" Wei Xiaobao said: "That's not difficult. Everyone listen to me. Thirty-six of you, rush out of the temple now Go and attack the east road together, pretending to break out of the mountain, but failed, and retreated to the temple, but had to lead the sheep and capture forty or fifty lamas up." Cheng Xin said: "Abbot's intention, do you want to take these lamas as hostages? , so that they dare not act rashly? If so, then the higher the status of the lama captured, the better." Wei Xiaobao said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to capture the big lama, and there will be many casualties. We only need to capture dozens of young lamas." The monks didn't know his intentions, but the abbot ordered them to leave the monastery. After a while, only loud shouts could be heard from the mountainside.Standing on the drum tower and watching, Wei Xiaobao saw thirty-six Shaolin monks rushing into the group of lamas, their knives flashed and they started fighting. These thirty-six monks are all masters of Shaolin Temple, ordinary lamas are naturally no opponents, after rushing out tens of feet, more and more lamas stand in the way.Cheng Xin and others punched, kicked, palmed and fingered, knocking down dozens of people in an instant.Cheng Xin shouted loudly: "The enemy is too powerful to rush out, let's go back to the temple for now, and then make sense." With his deep inner strength, these few words spread far away, and the valley resounded.Cheng Tong also shouted loudly: "If you can't get out, what should you do?" Cheng Xin shouted: "Everyone take some lamas back and teach them to be cautious and not dare to harm others carelessly." A lama, or a lama on his shoulders, turned and entered the temple.After Chengxin and Chengguang broke up, they knocked down several people.But after hearing the lama formation, someone sent an order in Tibetan.All the lamas shouted and cursed, but they did not chase after him. Wei Xiaobao greeted him in front of the monastery gate with a smile, counted the number, and captured forty-seven lamas.Back in the Manjusri Hall, Wei Xiaobao said: "Take off all these guys' clothes, get eighteen acupoints on each of them, and lock them in the woodshed in the back garden." All the monks felt that the abbot's edict was profound and unpredictable, so they stripped the forty-seven lamas naked, added acupuncture points to their bodies, and locked them into the woodshed. Wei Xiaobao folded his palms together and said: "All forms in the world are empty and nothing. There is no self and no one, no monk and no lama. Emptiness is form, form is emptiness. A monk is a lama, and a lama is a monk. Fellow nephews, take off your robes and put on the robes of a lama. Stop!" All the monks were stunned and looked at each other. Wei Xiaobao shouted loudly: "Shuang'er, come here and help me pretend to be a little lama." Shuang'er had been waiting outside the hall, immediately went into the hall, picked up the smallest lama's robe, and helped him change into it.Wei Xiaobao was short in stature, it was still too big to wear, so he pulled out his dagger, cut off the hem and sleeves of his robe, put on a belt around his waist, and put on the lama crown, just like a little lama, Said to Shuang'er: "You also play a little lama." Cheng Guang asked, "I don't know what the purpose is for my uncle to change his lama's clothes?" Cheng Guan asked, "Should we surrender to the Lama and return to the Yellow Sect?" Go to the small temple at the back, arrest the three monks Yulin, Xingchi, and Xingdian, touch their acupoints, and put them in lama clothes..." When Chengtong heard this, he applauded and laughed: "A great plan, a great plan! We have dozens of fake lamas rushing down the mountain in the dark, and the lamas can't tell the real from the fake, so it's hard to stop them." .Naturally none of them knew that Wei Xiaobao's ingenious plan was just the old wisdom of pretending to be a prostitute and getting out of a difficult situation. Cheng Xin said: "It's the best strategy to go out like this, without killing too many people." Cheng Guang hesitated and said, "It's just that I offended Master Xingzhi and the three of them, it's disrespectful." Wei Xiaobao said: "Amitabha, you saved me. Three lives are better than building a three-seven-two-level pagoda. A small offense is better than a fire." Cheng Guang said: "Uncle Master is right." At that moment, all the monks took off their monk robes and put on lama clothes.All the monks kept the precepts all their lives and were dignified and dignified, but now they followed Wei Xiaobao to do this nonsense. Seeing the strange appearance after wearing lama clothes, everyone couldn't help laughing. Wei Xiaobao said: "Everyone wrap up the monk's robes and take them with you, and change them after you get out of trouble. After rushing down the mountain, if you get separated, you can all gather at the Jixiang Temple in Fuping County." He ordered Shuang'er to pack up the money and things, and make a package. A bag, carried on the back. Waiting until it was getting dark, Wei Xiaobao said: "Everyone, put some incense and dust on your face, and carry a bucket of water in each hand, let's do it!" Wiping his face with dirt, he raised a bucket of weapons and ran towards the back of the mountain.Outside the small temple, all the monks, Xilihuala, shouted loudly and rushed towards the temple. Yulin, Xingchi, and Xingdian had already decided to set themselves on fire. They piled firewood in the courtyard and poured sesame oil on their bodies. They waited for the lamas to attack and explained to them their intention to set themselves on fire. When they came, there was no warning in advance, and when they heard the strange sound of "huluhulu, huachahuacha", which seemed to be in Tibetan but not in Tibetan, dozens of lamas had already rushed into the temple. Yulin said loudly: "Everyone wait a moment, I have a few words to say..." Suddenly, a bucket of cold water was poured down, followed by dozens of buckets of cold water poured on the three of them.This was a lightning strike, not to mention that the three of them had no time to set fire to themselves, even if it had already been set alight, it was immediately extinguished. Shuang'er leaped over and tapped Xingdian's acupoints first, Xingchi didn't know martial arts, Yulin's martial arts were not weak, but he didn't want to fight against them, they all got acupoints tapped in the chaos.All the monks hurriedly took off the robes of the three monks, and put the lama's robes on the three of them.Wei Xiaobao wanted to speak up and make up Tibetan words, he was afraid that Yulin would hear his accent, so he held back and pouted at Shuang'er, Shuang'er took the candlestick and set fire to the firewood piled in the courtyard.Wei Xiaobao saw Xingdian's golden pestle lying in the corner of the hall, he wanted to take it away, but unexpectedly the golden pestle was so heavy that he couldn't lift it, Chengtong stretched out his hand to grab it.With a wave of Wei Xiaobao's hand, the monks surrounded Xing Chi and the other three monks, and rushed eastward down the mountain. After only a few tens of zhang away, black smoke and flames rose into the sky from the small temple, and this huge pile of firewood was already covered with sesame oil, so it was easy to catch fire.When all the lamas on the mountainside saw the fire, they screamed loudly, and there was a commotion in all directions.The leading lama sent people up to put out the fire.Seeing Wei Xiaobao and other monks under the light of the torch, they all said they were from their own family. In the chaos, who would interrogate and stop them? When the monks came to the foot of the mountain, they left the group of lamas behind the road, and looked back up the mountain, but saw that the small temple had been burned through the roof.Chengdao: "Once this small temple was burned down, they couldn't find Master Xingzhi. They only knew that he had already been burned to death in the small temple. It's a good thing to die this way and never disturb him again. .” Cheng Guang nodded and said, “What the younger brother said makes sense.” Wei Xiaobao ordered Cheng Guan to undo the acupoints on Xing Chi and the other three, and said: "I offended you so much, please don't blame me." Xing Chi waited for the acupoints to be tapped just now, and he couldn't move, but his eyes and ears were unaffected. Seeing what happened, he knew that it was Shaolin monks trying to save him.Xing Dian applauded loudly and said: "Great plan, great plan! Everyone escaped easily. Master Abbot, you saved our lives. Thank you before it's too late. Who's to blame you?" Xing Chi decided to burn himself to eliminate karma, Xingdian was so loyal that he had no choice but to accompany the martyr, but in his heart he did not want to die just now, so he was extremely happy to be out of the catastrophe at this time.Xing Chi smiled and said: "It is very rare to resolve this matter without hurting anyone." Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps on the mountain road facing him, and a large group of people rushed towards him.Chengdao: "Master Uncle, a large number of lamas have come to kill us." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's rush forward, mutter something, and when we see them, smile on our faces, and stretch out our hands to point to the mountain. Fight them." All the monks obeyed, even Xingchi and Yulin nodded. Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed: "The old emperor listens to my orders, and the old emperor's master also listens to my orders." The monks kept Xing Chi in the middle and ran along the road.
I saw a group of people rushing out from the back of the mountain, holding lanterns and torches, but they were not lamas, they were all pilgrims going up to the mountain for pilgrimage, with yellow cloth bags hanging around their necks, on which were written "pious pilgrimage" and other big characters.A group of Shaolin monks ran nearby, they were all stunned, Cheng Tong and others had already stopped talking, Cheng Guan and others who were not very quick-witted were still yelling "fabricated Tibetan". A man stepped out from among the pilgrims and shouted: "What are you doing?" This man was tall and strong with a loud voice.Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed when he saw him, he recognized him as Duo Long, the head of the imperial guards, he rushed up immediately and shouted: "Brother, who do you think is my younger brother?" Duolong was startled, took the lantern from the person beside him, and moved it to shine in front of him.Wei Xiaobao winked at him and laughed loudly.Duo Long was pleasantly surprised and said: "Yes... it's Brother Wei, you... why are you here? Pretend to be a little lama again?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said, "Why are you here?" While speaking, another group of pilgrims arrived behind Duolong, and the leading pilgrim was Zhao Qixian.Wei Xiaobao saw that these pilgrims were all disguised as imperial guards, more than half of them were acquaintances.All the guards surrounded him, laughing and laughing very affectionately. Wei Xiaobao asked Duolong in a low voice: "The emperor sent you here?" Duolong said in a low voice: "The emperor and the queen mother came to Wutai Mountain to offer incense, and they are now in Lingjing Temple." Wei Xiaobao was full of surprises, and said: "The emperor came to Wutai Mountain? That's great! That's great!" I thought: "What is that old bitch doing here too? The old emperor can't wait to kill her." Not long after, another group of officers and soldiers from the Xiaoqi Battalion arrived, all pretending to be pilgrims.Wei Xiaobao asked: "How many pilgrims came from Beijing to Mount Wutai this time?" Duo Long said in a low voice: "In addition to our imperial guards, Xiaoqi Battalion, Qianfeng Battalion, and Guard Battalion also came here with them." Wei Xiaobao said "I'm afraid there are not 30,000 to 40,000 officers and soldiers?" Duo Long said: "There are more than 34,000 people in total." Wei Xiaobao said: "Who is the chief escort of the battalions?" Duo Long said: "It's Prince Kang." Wei Xiaobao laughed Said: "That's an old friend." He waved to Zhao Qixian, and when he approached, he said, "Brother Zhao, please report to Prince Kang. I want to mobilize people to do a big thing. It's urgent, so I don't have time to ask him for instructions." It's gone." Zhao Qixian left as ordered. Following Xiaoqiying, Zhenghuang Banner Commander Cha Erzhu also arrived.Wei Xiaobao said: "Brother, Lord Dutong, there are thousands of Tibetan lamas. They must have heard the news of the emperor's pilgrimage, and immediately surrounded Qingliang Temple and rebelled. You two immediately go and arrest this rebel.下了,这可是一件大大的功劳。”两人大喜,齐向韦小宝道谢,说道:“韦大人送功劳给我们,真是何以克当。”韦小宝道:“大家忠心为皇上办事,分什么彼此?这叫做有福同享,有难共当。”两人当即传下令去,把守四周山道,点齐猛将精兵,向山上杀去。 韦小宝大声叫道:“圣上仁慈英明,有好生之德,你们只须擒拿反贼,不可多伤人命。因为圣上是鸟生鱼汤,不是差劲的皇帝。”一众侍卫、亲兵齐声答应。“尧舜禹汤”四字,康熙虽曾简略解说过,韦小宝却也难以明白,总之知道“鸟生鱼汤”这碗汤是大大的好汤,不是差劲的汤,凡是皇帝,听了无不十分欢喜。他这几句话,却是叫给老皇帝听的,心想今日老小皇帝父子相会,多拍老皇帝马屁,比之拍小皇帝马屁更为灵验有效。 他转身走到行痴跟前,说道:“三位大师,咱们身上衣服不伦不类,且到前面金阁寺去换过衣衫,找个清静的所在休息,免得这些闲人打扰了三位清修。”行痴等点头称是。 一行人又行数里,来到金阁寺中。韦小宝一进寺门,便取出一千两银票,交给住持,说道:“暂借宝刹休息,一切不可多问。问一句话,扣十两银子。一句不问,这一千两银子都是香金。如果问了一百零一句,你倒找我十两,不折不扣,童叟无欺。” 那住持乍得巨金,又惊又喜,当即诺诺连声,问道:“师兄要……”话到口边,突然一怔,忙改口道:“……要喝杯茶了。”匆匆入内端茶。他本来想问“师兄要不要喝杯茶?”总算尚有急智,临时改口,省下了十两银子。 韦小宝出寺暗传号令,命百余名御前侍卫在金阁寺四周守卫,又差两名侍卫去奏报皇上:“奴才韦小宝职责重大,不敢擅离,在金阁寺候驾。” 一名侍卫道:“启禀韦副总管:咱们做臣子的,该当前去叩见皇上才是,不能等皇上过来见你。”韦小宝双手一摊,笑道:“没法子。这一次只好坏一坏规矩了。”两名侍卫答应了,转过身来,都伸了伸舌头,心道:“好大的胆子,连性命也不要了。”当即奔去奏报。
众僧换过衣衫,坐下休息,只听得山上杀声大震,侍卫亲兵已在围捕喇嘛。扰攘良久,声音渐歇。又过了半个多时辰,突然间万籁俱寂,但闻数十人的脚步声自远而近,来到寺外而止。跟着靴声橐橐,一群人走进寺来。 韦小宝心想:“小皇帝到了。”拔出匕首,执在手中,守在行痴的禅房之外,脸上自是摆出一副忠心护主、万死不辞的模样,单以外表而论,行颠的忠义勇烈,那是远远不如了。 脚步声自外而内,十余名身穿便装的侍卫快步过来,手提着灯笼,站在两旁。一名侍卫低声喝道:“快收起刀子。”韦小宝退了几步,以背靠门,横剑当胸,大有“一夫当关,万夫莫入”之概,喝道:“禅房里众位大师正在休息,谁都不可过来啰唣。”只见一位身穿蓝袍的少年走了过来,正是康熙。 韦小宝这才还剑入鞘,抢上叩头,低声道:“皇上大喜。老……老法师在里面。” 康熙颤声道:“你给我……给我通报。”转身挥手道:“你们都出去!” 待众侍卫退出后,韦小宝在禅房门上轻击两下,说道:“晦明求见。”过了好一会,内无应声。康熙忍不住抢上一步,在门上敲了两下。韦小宝摇摇手,示意不可说话,康熙将已到口边的“父皇”一声叫唤强行忍住。 又过良久,只听得行颠说道:“方丈大师,我师兄精神困倦,恕不相见。他身入空门,尘缘已了,请你转告外人,不可妨他清修。”韦小宝道:“是,是,请你开门,只见一面便是。”行颠道:“我师兄之意,此处是金阁寺,大家是客,不奉方丈法旨,还盼莫怪。” 韦小宝转头向康熙瞧去,见他神色凄惨,心想:“你说我在这里不是方丈,不能叫你开门,那么我去要本寺方丈来叫门,也容易得紧。”正想转身去叫方丈,康熙已自忍耐不住,突然放声大哭。 韦小宝心想:“若要本寺方丈来叫开了门,倒有逼迫老皇爷之意,倒还是软求的好。”双手在胸口猛捶数下,跟着也大哭起来,一面干号,一面叫道:“我在这世上是个没爹没娘的孤儿,孤苦伶仃的,没人疼我。做人还有什么乐趣?不如一头撞死了倒还干净。”假哭是他自幼熟习的拿手本事,叫得几声,眼泪便倾泻而出,哭得悲切异常。 康熙听得他大哭,初时不禁一愕,跟着又哭了起来。 只听得呀的一声,禅房门开了。行颠站在门口,说道:“请小施主进来。” 康熙悲喜交集,直冲进房,抱住行痴双脚,放声大哭。 行痴轻轻抚摸他头,说道:“痴儿,痴儿。”眼泪也滚滚而下。 玉林和行颠低头走出禅房,反手带上了门,对站在门外的韦小宝瞧也不瞧,径行出外。行颠觉得太过无礼,心中又对他感激,走了十几步后,回头叫了声:“方丈。” 韦小宝正在凝神倾听禅房内行痴和康熙父子二人有何说话,对行颠也没理会,只听得康熙哭着叫道:“父皇,这可想死孩儿了。”行痴轻声说了几句,隔着房门便听不清楚。其后康熙止了哭声,两人说话都是极轻,韦小宝一句也听不见。他虽然好奇,却也不敢将房门推开一线,侧耳去听,只得站在门外等候。 过了好一会,隐约听到康熙提到“端敬皇后”四字,韦小宝心道:“上次老皇爷叫我转告小皇帝,不可难为了老婊子,我捺下了这句话没说,不知老皇爷现下是否回心转意?” 再过一会,听得行痴说道:“今日你我一会,已是非份,误我修为不小。此后可不能再来了。”康熙没有作声。行痴又道:“你派人侍奉我,虽是你一番孝心,可是出家人历练魔劫,乃是应有之义,侍奉我太过周到,也是不宜……”两人又说了一会,只听行痴道:“你这就去罢,好好保重身子,爱惜百姓,便是向我尽孝了。”康熙似乎恋恋不舍,不肯便走。 终于听得脚步声响,走向门边,韦小宝急忙退后几步,眼望庭中。 呀的一声,房门打开,行痴携着康熙的手走出门外。父子两人对望片刻,康熙牢牢握住父亲的手。行痴道:“你很好,比我好得多。我很放心。你也放心!”轻轻挣脱了他手,退入房内,关上了门。又过片刻,喀的一响,已上了闩。 康熙扑在门上,呜咽不止。韦小宝站在旁边,陪着他流泪。康熙哭了一会,料想父亲再不会开门,却也不肯就此便去,拉了韦小宝的手,和他并肩坐在庭前阶石之上,取出手帕,拭了眼泪,抬头望着天上白云,出了一会神,说道:“小桂子,父皇说你很好,不过不要你服侍了。父皇说臣子们护持得太周到,倒令他老人家不像是出家人了。”说到“出家人”三字,眼泪又流了下来。 韦小宝听说老皇爷不再要他服侍,开心之极,脸上却不敢露出丝毫喜色,也不敢显得太过“忠”字当头,奋不顾身,以免又生后患,说道:“想害老皇爷的人很多,皇上总得想个法子,暗中妥为保护才是。” 康熙道:“那是一定要的。那些恶喇嘛,哼,他奶奶的,到底有什么阴谋诡计?”他本来只会说一句“他妈的”,数月不见,却多了一句“他奶奶的”。韦小宝道:“师父,你又多了一句骂人的话。”康熙脸上露出一丝微笑,道:“是我妹子从侍卫们那里学来的。她和太后都跟着上了山……”脸色一沉,道:“父皇不想见她们。”韦小宝点了点头。 康熙道:“那些喇嘛自然是想劫持父皇,企图挟制于我,叫我事事听他们的话。哼,哪有这么容易?小桂子,你很好,这一次救了父皇,功劳不小。” 韦小宝道:“皇上神机妙算,早就料到了,派奴才到这里做和尚,本来就是为了做这件事。奴才也没什么功劳,皇上不论差谁来办,谁都能办的。” 康熙道:“那也不然。父皇说你能体会他的意思,不伤一人而得脱危难。”韦小宝道:“奴才见到老皇爷要点火自焚,说什么舍身消业,可真把我吓得魂灵出窍,屁滚尿流。”康熙惊道:“什么点火自焚?舍身消业?”韦小宝加油添醋的说了经过,只把康熙听得出了一身冷汗。韦小宝道:“只是奴才情急之下,将老皇爷淋了一身冷水,那可大大的不敬了。”康熙道:“你是护主心切,很好,很好。” 他沉默半晌,回头向禅房门看了一眼,说道:“老皇帝吩咐我爱惜百姓,永不加赋。这句话你先前也传过给我了,这一次老皇爷又亲口叮嘱,我自然是永不敢忘。”韦小宝问道:“永不加赋是什么东西?”康熙微微一笑,道:“赋就是赋税。明朝那些皇帝穷奢极欲,用兵打仗,钱不够用了,就下旨命老百姓多缴赋税。明朝的官儿又贪污得厉害,皇帝要加赋一千万两,大小官儿们至少多刮二千万两。百姓本已穷得很了,朝廷今年加赋,明年加税,百姓哪里还有饭吃?田里收成的谷子麦子,都让做官的拿了去,老百姓眼看全家要饿死,只好起来造反。这叫做官逼民反。” 韦小宝点头道:“我明白了,原来明朝百姓造反,倒是做皇帝、做官的不好。”康熙道:“可不是吗?明朝崇祯年间,普天下百姓都没饭吃,所以东也反、西也反。杀平了河南的,陕西又反;镇压了山西的,四川又反。这些穷人东流西窜,也不过是为活命。明朝亡在这些穷人手里,他们汉人说是流寇作乱。其实什么乱民流寇,都是给朝廷逼出来的。”韦小宝道:“原来如此。老皇爷要皇上永不加赋,天下就没有流寇了。皇上鸟生鱼汤,铁桶似的江山,万岁万岁万万岁。”康熙道:“尧舜禹汤,谈何容易?不过我们满洲人来做中国皇帝,总得要强过明朝那些无道昏君,才对得起天下百姓。” 韦小宝心想:“天地会、沐王府的人,说到满清鞑子占我汉人江山,没一个不恨得牙痒痒地。小皇帝却说明朝的皇帝不好,倒还是他鞑子皇帝好。那也不希奇,一个人自称自赞,总是有的。” 康熙又道:“父皇跟我说,这几年来他静修参禅,想到我们满洲人昔年的所作所为,常常惭愧得汗流浃背。明朝崇祯是给流寇李自成逼死的,吴三桂来向我们大清借兵,打败了李自成,给明朝皇帝报了大仇。可是汉人百姓非但不感激大清,反而拿咱们看作仇人,你说是什么缘故?”韦小宝道:“想是他们胡涂。本来天下胡涂人多,聪明人少,又或者是他们忘恩负义。”康熙道:“那倒不然。汉人说我们是胡虏,是外族人,占了他们花花江山。清兵入关之后,到处杀人放火,害死了无数百姓,那也令他们恨咱们满洲人入骨。” 韦小宝本是汉人,康熙赐他作了正黄旗满洲人,跟他说起来,便“咱们、咱们”的,当他便是满洲人一般。其实说到国家大事,韦小宝什么都不懂。只是康熙甫与父亲相会,心中激动,想到父皇的谆谆叮嘱,便跟这个小亲信讲论起来。 韦小宝道:“奴才在扬州之时,也听人说过从前清兵杀人的惨事。” 康熙叹了口气,道:“扬州十日,嘉定三屠,杀人不计其数,那是我们大清所做下的大大恶事。我要下旨免了扬州和嘉定的三年钱粮。” 韦小宝心想:“扬州人三年不用交钱粮,大家口袋里有钱,丽春院的生意,可要大大兴旺了。怎生想个法子,叫小皇帝派我去扬州办事?我叫妈妈不用做婊子了,自己开他三家妓院,老子做老板,再来做庄,大赌十日,也来个'扬州十日'。然后带了大批银两,去嘉定赌他妈的三次,这叫做'嘉定三赌'。”又想:“老皇爷和皇上都说嘉定三赌杀人太多,是件大大的惨事,为什么赌三次钱,便杀不少人?不知嘉定在什么地方。这地方的人赌钱本事厉害,倒须小心在意。” 康熙问道:“小桂子,你说好不好?”韦小宝忙道:“好,好极了,这样一来,大家有饭吃,有钱……谁也不会造反了。”话到口边,硬生生把“有钱赌”的“赌”字缩住了。 康熙道:“虽然大家有饭吃,有钱使,却也未必没人造反。你出京之时,叫侍卫们送了一个人来,说是王屋山的逆贼,我已亲自问过了他几次。”韦小宝心中一惊,忙站起身来,说道:“皇上吩咐奴才不可多管闲事,以后再也不敢了。”康熙道:“你坐下,这件事办得很好,那也不是闲事,今后还得大大的多管。”韦小宝道:“是,是。”心下莫名其妙。 康熙低声道:“我命侍卫传旨申斥你,乃是掩人耳目,别让反贼有了防备。” 韦小宝大喜,纵身一跳,这才坐下,低声道:“奴才明白了,原来皇上怕吴三桂这反贼惊觉。”康熙道:“吴三桂是否想造反,现下还拿不定,不过他早有不臣之心,欺我年幼,不把我放在眼里。”韦小宝道:“皇上使点儿小小手段出来,教他知道厉害。吴三桂他奶奶的,有什么了不起?皇上伸个小指头儿,就杀他一个横扫千军,高山流水。” 康熙微笑道:“这两句成语用得不好,该说伸个小指头儿,就横扫千军,杀他一个落花流水。”韦小宝道:“是,是,是。奴才做了好几个月和尚,学问半点也没长进,以后常常服侍皇上,用起成语来就横扫千军,让人家听个落花流水。” 康熙忍不住哈哈一笑,郁抑稍减,低声道:“吴三桂这厮善能用兵,手下猛将精兵,着实不少,倘若真的造反,和福建耿精忠、广东尚可喜三藩连兵,倒也棘手得很。咱们只能慢慢来,须得谋定而后动,一动手就得叫他奶奶的吴三桂落花流水,屁滚尿流。” 康熙勤奋好学,每日躬亲政务之余,由翰林学士侍讲、侍读经书诗文,只是诗云子曰读得多了,突然说几句“他奶奶的”、“屁滚尿流”,倒也颇有调剂之乐。他今日见到父亲,本是又喜又悲,但亲近不到半个时辰,便被摒诸门外,不知今后是否再能相见,深感凄伤,幸得韦小宝出言有趣,稍解愁怀,又谈到了除逆定乱的大事,更激发了胸中雄心。 他站起身来,在庭中取了四块石头,排列在地,说道:“汉军四王,东边的、南边的、西边的,要分了开来,不能让他们联在一起。定南王孔有德这家伙幸好死了,只留下一个女儿,倒容易对付。”说着轻轻一脚,踢开一块石头,说道:“耿精忠有勇无谋,不足为虑,只须不让他和台湾郑氏联盟便是。”一脚又踢开一块石头,说道:“尚可喜父子不和,两个儿子又势成水火,自相倾轧,料他无能为力。”将第三块石头也踢开了,只留下一块最大的石头,对住了怔怔出神。 韦小宝问道:“皇上,这是吴三桂?”康熙点点头。韦小宝骂道:“这奸贼,自己老不死,却累得我万岁爷为你大伤脑筋。皇上,你在他身上拉一泡尿。” 康熙哈哈大笑,童心大起,当真拉开裤子,便在那石头上撒尿,笑道:“你也来。”韦小宝大笑,也在石头上撒尿,笑道:“这一回书,叫做'万岁爷高山流水,小桂子……小桂子……'”心想“横扫千军”这四字用在这里不妥,突然想到说书先生说三国故事,有一回书叫做“关云长水淹七军”,便道:“小桂子水淹七军。” 康熙更是好笑,缚好裤子,笑道:“哪一日咱们捉到这臭贼,便当真在他身上撒尿。” 康熙坐回阶石,只听得庙外脚步声甚响,虽然无人喧哗,显是已有不少人聚集在外,韦小宝道:“看来他们已把那些恶喇嘛都捉了来。皇上真是洪福齐天,凑巧之极,刚好这时候赶到,把这些恶喇嘛一网打尽。”康熙道:“那倒不是凑巧,我得到你的密报,派人查察,得讯之后,急速赶来,却已慢了一步,让这些恶喇嘛惊动了圣驾。若不是你机灵,我可终身遗恨无穷,罪不可逭了。”韦小宝奇道:“奴才没给您什么密报啊。” 康熙道:“我派侍卫到少林寺传旨,他们说见到了一个蒙古王子,几个喇嘛,又有几名武官。是不是?”韦小宝道:“是啊。”康熙道:“你吩咐他们暗中查察,这几人办事倒也得力。一查之下,便查到那蒙古王子叫作葛尔丹。那武官名叫马宝,是吴三桂那厮手下的总兵。他们和喇嘛勾结谋叛,意欲不利于父皇。” 韦小宝一拍大腿,说道:“原来如此!奴才见他们鬼鬼祟祟,不是好人,倒不知竟是吴三桂的部下。”其实那些人的姓名来历,他早已得知,要赵齐贤等查察,意在追寻那绿衣女郎的,顺便诬陷吴三桂,想不到竟会引得小皇帝赶上五台山来。 康熙道:“这三伙人后来分了手。侍卫张康年跟踪喇嘛,听到他们大集人手,要到五台山来捉拿一位重要人物。他不知事情重大,又跟了好几天,这才回京奏知。我一听之下,岂有不急?当即火速启程,只是皇帝出京,啰里啰苏的仪注一大套,我虽下旨一切从简,还是迟到了一天。” 韦小宝道:“吴三桂这反贼如此大胆,竟敢派遣数千喇嘛,前来得罪老皇爷,那……那不是公然造反么?”康熙嘘了一声,道:“小声!我只知他手下总兵和这些喇嘛结伴同行。他是否就此造反,现下还不能确知。”韦小宝道:“一定反!一定反!如果他是好人,怎会差遣手下大将,去和这些恶喇嘛阴谋暗害老皇爷?” 康熙道:“他自然不是好人。”心下沉吟,缓缓的道:“不过我年纪还小,行军打仗,还不是他的对手,最好咱们再等几年,等我再长大些,等他又老了些。那时再动手,就可操必胜。小桂子,你不必性急,多过一天,对咱们就多一分
