The tenth time, the second general's palace gate is the ghost of Tang Taizong

The Second General's Palace Gate Suppresses the Ghost, and Tang Taizong returns to life

However, it was said that Taizong and Wei Zheng played chess in the temporary hall. Just as the Ruan Ke Jing said: The way to play games is to be rigorous. The high player is in the belly, the low player is on the side, and the middle player is in the corner. This is the common method of this chess player. Fa said: Better lose one son than lose one first. Hit left to see right, attack back to look forward. Some are first, and some are later. Do not break two lives, do not live together. The width should not be too sparse, and the density should not be too fast. If you love your son for survival, don't give it up to win; It is better to do things alone than to fix them. We are outnumbered by others, so we should seek their survival first; We are outnumbered, so we must show our potential. Those who are good at winning will not fight, and those who are good at array will not fight; Those who are good at fighting will not be defeated, and those who are good at losing will not be confused. At first, the chess match was just right, and at last, the chess match was won by surprise. Any enemy who has nothing to do to help himself has the intention to invade; He who forsakes the small but does not save is ambitious. He who follows his hand is a man without a plan; He who does not think but responds takes the road to defeat. As the poem goes, "Be careful when you are nervous, as if you are in the valley." This is also called. Poetry said,

The chessboard is the earth and the sky, and the color is created according to yin and yang.

Go down to Xuanwei Tongbian, and laugh and praise the rotten Kexian that day.

The two monarchs and ministers played this chess game. It was at 3:15 in the afternoon, but the game was not over. Wei Zheng suddenly stepped on the edge of the table, snored and dozed off. Emperor Taizong smiled and said, "Xianqing is really tired of helping the country and founding the country, so he doesn't sleep." The Emperor Taizong allowed him to sleep, let alone call. After a while, Wei Zheng woke up and fell down in the tunnel: "I should die! I should die! But I was dizzy and sleepy. I don't know what I did. I hope your majesty will forgive me for your crimes." Taizong said, "Why do you slow down? Get up, shake off the remaining chess pieces, and start a new battle with you." Wei Zheng thanked him, but he held his son in his hand and heard him yelling outside the door. It turned out that Qin Shubao, Xu Maogong, etc. threw a bloody dragon head in front of the emperor and said: "Your majesty, you have seen the sea shallow and the river dry, but you have never heard of such strange things." Taizong and Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Where does this come from?"

Shubao and Maogong said, "This dragon head falls in the clouds in the south of Qianbu Corridor, at the crossroads. I dare not fail to play it." The king of Tang asked Wei Zheng: "What is this?" Wei Zheng turned and kowtowed:

"It was the minister who killed him in a dream." Hearing the words, the king of the Tang Dynasty was shocked and said: "How can you kill this dragon when you haven't seen any moves or swords when you were sleeping?" Wei Zheng said: "My lord, I am in front of you. I dream of leaving your majesty. I close my eyes when I am in front of you. I dream of leaving your majesty by riding the auspicious cloud. I am in a trance and shake my eyes. The dragon was bound by the heavenly soldiers on the dragon cutting platform. It was my minister who said, 'You are guilty of heaven's rule. I will kill you according to heaven's mandate.' When the dragon hears sorrow and suffering, he shakes his spirit. When the dragon hears sorrow and suffering, he bends his paws and draws scales, and is willing to die. He shakes his spirit, lifts his clothes and raises the frost front - a knife goes by, and the dragon head shakes its spirit This place is empty. " When Emperor Taizong heard the words, he felt sad and happy. Those who were pleased praised Wei Zhenghao as a good minister. There was such a hero in the court, and they were worried about the instability of the country? Sad people said they had promised to save the dragon in their dreams, but unexpectedly they were killed. He had to fight hard and ordered Shubao to hang the dragon head from the city Cao and tell Li Shu in Chang'an. Wei Zheng was rewarded by his side and all the officials were dismissed. When I returned to the palace that night, I was just sad. I thought of the dragon in my dream and cried for survival. I didn't know that impermanence was inevitable. When I miss you for a long time, I feel tired and uneasy. At the second watch of the night, he heard the cry of a horn outside the palace gate, and Taizong became more frightened. Just in the dim sleep, I saw the Dragon King of the Jinghe River, holding a bloody head, shouting: "Tang Taizong! Give me back! Give me back! You promised to save me last night. Why did the anti Xuanren Cao Guan come to kill me at dawn? You come out, you come out! I'll go to Yan Jun to argue with you!" He tugged at Taizong and kept shouting. Taizong was too tight lipped and sweated all over his body. At the time when it was hard to understand, I saw the incense clouds were swirling in the south, and the colorful fog was floating. A woman came forward and waved the willow branches with her hands. The headless dragon was crying sadly and headed for the northwest. It turned out that this is Guanyin Bodhisattva, who led the Buddha's order to go to Dongtu to find a scripture collector. He lived in the Land Temple of Chengdu, Chang'an City, and heard the ghost cry at night. He came here to drink the Retreat Dragon to save the emperor. The dragon path to the hell of the hell has no problem.

But he said that Taizong came back from awakening and only called him "Ghost! Ghost!" The three palace empresses, concubines in the sixth courtyard, and eunuchs nearby were so frightened that they did not sleep all night. Unexpectedly, at 5:30 o'clock, the Manchu court had many civil and military officials waiting outside the court gate. When the dawn came, there was still no court approaching, and everyone was frightened and hesitated. As soon as the sun rose, a decree came out and said, "I am unhappy, and all officials will be exempted from court." Unexpectedly, five or seven days later, all the officials were worried. They were about to crash into the door to greet the driver. The empress dowager had an order, and called the medical officials into the palace to take medicine. All the people were waiting at the court gate to ask for help. When he was young, the medical officer came out and asked what was wrong. The doctor said, "The emperor's pulse is not correct. He is empty and counting. He talks wildly about ghosts. He has been diagnosed with ten movements. The five internal organs are qi free. I'm afraid it will only take seven days." The officials were horrified at the words. In a panic, the empress dowager announced Xu Maogong, Lord Protector and Lord Yuchi. Sangong gave orders and rushed to the lower floor of the imperial palace. After worshipping him, Emperor Taizong said forcefully: "Xianqing, I am 19 years old, leading the army. I have fought in the south and north, blocking the east and eliminating the west. I have been suffering for years, and I have never seen any evil worship. Today, I am going to see the devil!" Yuchi said, "Why are you afraid of ghosts when you create a country and kill countless people?" The Emperor Taizong said, "You don't believe me. I throw bricks and tiles outside the door of my bedroom at night. The ghosts are crying out. It's hard to stay alive. It's still fine in the daytime, but it's hard to stop at night."

Uncle Bao said: "Your majesty, please be relieved. I will guard the palace gate with respect tonight to see what's going on."

Taizong will play with approval, and Maogong will show his gratitude. On the evening of that day, each of them took his cloak. His two servants were in order, holding a golden gourd axe and axe, and guarded outside the palace gate. Good general! See how he is dressed: he wears a golden helmet and is bright, and he is covered with armor and dragon scales. The heart protecting mirror covers the auspicious clouds. The lion closes its clasp tightly and the embroidery belt is colorful. This phoenix eye faces the sky and stars are afraid, and that ring eye reflects the electric moonlight. He used to be a hero and an old minister, but he was called Hu Wei for thousands of years and became a door god for thousands of years.

The second general stood by the door, night after night, and never saw any evil worship. That night, Emperor Taizong was in the palace and had nothing to do with his sleep. At dawn, he came to Xuan'er General and said, "I am sick and can't sleep for several days. Tonight, I am very secure against the two generals. Please go out to rest in peace and guard again in the evening." The second general thanked him. Therefore, the guards were all safe for two or three nights, but the imperial diet was impaired, and the disease became serious. The Emperor Taizong could not bear the hardships of the Second General, and Xuan Shubao, Jingde, Du and Fang went into the palace and said, "Although I have been safe these two days, I can hardly work all night for General Qin and Hu Er. I want to call a skilled craftsman, Dan Qing. I want to pass on the Second General's true face and stick it on the door to prevent him from working. How about that?" According to the order of the officials, they chose two portraits, wearing Hu and Qin Ergong's front robes. They drew the same picture and stuck it on the door. At night, they had nothing to do.

Two or three days later, I heard the ping-pong bricks and tiles of the Houzaimen. At dawn, I came to proclaim to all the officials: "I'm glad that the front door has nothing to do, but the back door is ringing again tonight, but I'm not surprised to kill you!" Mao Gong said in the prelude: "If the front door is upset, it's Jingde and Shubao's guard; if the back door is upset, it's Wei Zheng's guard." The Emperor Taizong asked him to guard the back door tonight. It was the end of the night when the imperial edict was issued. He was standing in front of the emperor with the sword that killed the dragon. He was really a good hero! How did he dress up? He wore a ripe silk and green towel, wore a robe and jade belt hanging down his waist, and wore a cloak and sleeves to pick frost and float. Sit with black boots folded, and hold sharp blades and fierce swords. Look around with wide open eyes. How dare the evil spirit arrive? The night was bright, and there were no ghosts. Although the front and rear doors are free, the body is getting heavier. One day, the empress dowager issued a decree to call all the officials to discuss the funeral. The Emperor Taizong also announced Xu Maogong, ordered the state to do important things, and told him to imitate the idea of Liu Shu's Lord. After that, take a bath and change clothes, just wait for the time. Wei Zheng, standing beside him, pulled the dragon's clothes and said:

"Your majesty, take it easy. I have one thing to do to ensure your majesty's longevity." Taizong said, "The disease is incurable, and the life will be in danger. How can we protect it?" Zheng Yun: "I have a letter. Go to your majesty and take it to the Hell Division to pay Judge Cui of Fengdu." Taizong said, "Cui - who is it?" Zheng Yun: "Cui is the minister of the first emperor of the Supreme Lord. He was ordered by the state of Zizhou first and then promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He made friends with his ministers on the eighth day. He knows each other very well. He is now dead. Now the Secretary of Hell is the magistrate of the Capital of Life and Death, and he often meets with his ministers in his dreams. If he goes to give this book to him, he will read about his humble ministers. He will surely let his majesty come back, discipline his soul and return to the Yang world, and make sure to take the dragon's face and turn to the capital." Emperor Taizong heard the words, took them in his hands, put them in his sleeves, and died with his eyes closed. The three palaces and six courtyards, the empresses and concubines, the chamberlain and the prince, and the two classes of civil and military officers all mourned and were filial, and they stopped at the Zigong Palace in the White Tiger Hall.

However, he said that Taizong was so remote that his soul walked out of the Five Phoenix Tower and saw the Royal Forest Army horses. Please drive out to hunt. Taizong gladly followed it and left. A long journey leaves no man or horse. Walking alone in the wilderness. He was so frightened that he could not find his way. On the other side, a man shouted loudly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, come here! Come here!" When Emperor Taizong heard the words, he looked up and saw the man: black gauze on his head, rhinoceros horn around his waist. The top of the head is soft with black yarn, and the waist circumference is golden. Holding his teeth in his hands, Wat coagulates the auspicious mist and wears a robe to hide the auspicious light.

Step on a pair of foundation make-up boots and climb the clouds to promote fog; Carrying a life and death book is doomed to survival. The hair on the temples is fluffy, and the beard is flying around the cheeks. He used to be the prime minister of the State of Tang, but now he is in charge of the court and serves the King of Hell. When Emperor Taizong went there, he knelt beside the road and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for your loss." The Emperor Taizong asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to meet him?" The humanity:

"Half a month ago, when I was in the Senluo Hall, I saw that the Jinghe Ghost Dragon had told your majesty about the reason for saving and killing. King Qin Guangda in the first hall sent a ghost envoy to urge your majesty to face the case with the three Cao. I know that, so I came here to meet you. I hope you will come late today. I hope you will forgive me." Taizong said, "Who's your name? What's your official position?" The man said, "Wei Chen survived. He served as the order of Zizhou before the leader of Yang Cao, and later worshipped the minister of the Ministry of Rites. His surname was Cui. Now he is in the Yin Division, and he is the judge of Fengdu." Emperor Taizong was overjoyed. He came to the imperial palace to help him: "Sir, you are far away. I have a letter from Wei Zheng before I drove. I am sending it to you, but it's easy to meet you." Judge Shane asked where the book was. Taizong took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Cui Bai. He opened it and looked at it. The book said: humiliating his beloved brother Wei Zheng, he immediately wrote a letter to pay homage to Mr. Cui, the elder brother of Daduhan, and said: "I remember making friends in the past. For several years, he had never heard of Puritanism. It is often just a matter of setting up vegetable products to offer sacrifices during festivals, but I don't know whether to enjoy them or not? He also accepted and refused to give up. In his dream, he saw that my elder brother was moving high. However, Yin and Yang are separated from each other, so we can't face to face. Now, because our Emperor Taizongwen suddenly came here, it is expected that he would have to meet his elder brother in the case of three Cao Cao. Wanqi recites the birthday friendship, and it's convenient to let my majesty return to the sun. It's a special love. Thank you again. It's endless. " After reading the book, the judge said happily, "I knew that Cao of Wei had dreamed of killing Lao Long the day before. I can't praise him enough. I was also told that he would see the descendants of Gu Chen sooner or later. Now that there is a book coming, your majesty is relieved. I will send you back to the sun and climb the Jade Palace again." Taizong thanked him.

While they were talking, they saw a pair of boys in blue over there, holding a flag and a treasure cover, shouting, "Please, please, the King of Hell." Taizong and Judge Cui joined the two boys and marched forward.

Suddenly, I saw a city. There was a big sign hanging on the city gate, which was written with seven big gold characters, "Hell's Gate". The green clothes shook the flags, led Taizong's path into the city, and walked along the street.

I saw the former Lord Li Yuan beside the street. The former brother built it, so the younger brother Yuanji came forward and said, "Shimin is coming! Shimin is coming!" When Jiancheng was built, Yuanji would come to kill him. Taizong couldn't dodge and was caught by him. Fortunately, Judge Cui called a black faced and fanged ghost envoy to drink Jiancheng and Yuanji back, and Taizong had to leave. After walking for a few miles, I saw a blue tile tower, which was really magnificent, but I saw a pile of rosy clouds floating in the air, and a thousand red mists looming. Monster heads fly from the eaves, and mandarin ducks are stacked in the shinning tiles. The door is drilled with several red gold nails, and the sill is set with a horizontal white jade section. Close to the window, there are smoke at dawn, and the curtain is long, bright and red. The terrace is towering to the blue sky, and the corridors and verandas are lined with treasure yards. Beast cauldrons, fragrant clouds, and red gauze, lamps, and bright palace fans. The left side violently swings the bull's head, and the lower right side is a towering Roman face. Receive the dead and send the ghost to the gold medal, attract the soul and draw the soul to the plain practice. It is called the Gate of the Hell Headquarters, and the Hall of the Old Hell. Taizong was looking outside. He saw the ring of the alcove - Ding -. The fragrance was strange. There were two pairs of candles outside. Behind them were ten generations of the hell kings descending to the next level. It was the ten emperors of Yan: Qin Guang King, Chu Jiang King, Song Emperor, Wu Guan King, Yan Luo King, Equality King, Taishan King, City King, Biancheng King, and Wheel King.

The Ten Kings came out of the Senluo Hall, controlling their backs and bowing to welcome the Emperor Taizong. The Emperor Taizong was modest and dared not go forward. The Ten Kings said, "Your Majesty is the king of the sun, and we are the king of ghosts in the underworld. Of course, our branch office should not be compromised." Taizong said, "If I offend my subordinates, how dare I talk about the way of Yin and Yang people and ghosts?" There is no shortage of it. Taizong went forward, walked into the Senluo Hall, and saluted the Ten Kings, then sat down.

About a moment later, King Qin Guang bowed his hand and said, "Why did the Jinghe Ghost Dragon tell your majesty to save him and kill him?" Taizong said, "I once dreamt that Lao Long would ask for help at night. In fact, I let him have nothing to do, and he would be punished if he committed a crime. It is my fault that Wei Zheng, the official of Cao, should be executed. I declared that Wei Zheng was playing chess in the hall, and I did not know that he would be killed if he dreamed of it. This is the secret that the official of Cao came and went, and that the dragon king committed a crime and died." When the Ten Kings heard the words, they bowed and said: "Since before the dragon was born, the Southern Dipper Star's death book has been doomed to be killed by Cao. We have known it for a long time. But he just argued here that it was we who sent him into Luncang and reincarnated him. Thank you for coming down again. I hope you will forgive me for urging him." At the end of the speech, the judge in charge of the life and death book said, "Take the book urgently. How about your majesty's longevity?" Judge Cui quickly turned to the office and reviewed the General Book of the Heavenly Deeds of the kings of the world one by one. He saw that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the southern part of the country was destined to be a virgin for thirteen years. Judge Cui was startled and rushed to take a large amount of thick ink. He added two pictures to the word "one", but presented the book. When the Ten Kings looked from the beginning, they saw that the name of Emperor Taizong was destined to be thirty-three years. The King of Hell asked, "How many years has your majesty been on the throne?" Taizong said, "I have been enthroned for thirteen years now." King Yan said, "Your majesty, take it easy. You still have twenty years to live in the sun. Now you have understood the case. Please return to your roots and return to the sun."

Emperor Taizong bowed to thank him when he heard the words. The Ten Hell Kings sent Judge Cui and Captain Zhu to send Taizong back to life. The Emperor Taizong went out of the Senluo Hall and asked the Ten Kings: "How are the old and young in my palace?"

The Ten Kings said: "All are safe, but it seems that the longevity of the Royal Sister may not last forever." Emperor Taizong thanked him again: "I will return to the world of Yang, and I have nothing to thank, but only fruits and melons." The Ten Kings said happily, "We have plenty of melons and watermelons, but only a few pumpkins." Taizong said, "I will send them back as soon as I return." From then on, they bowed to each other and left.

The eunuch held a soul guiding banner and led the way. Judge Cui then escorted Taizong out of Yousi. Taizong looked up and saw that it was not the old road. He asked the judge, "Is this road bad?"

The judge said: "That's right. The hell is like this. There is a way to go, but there is no way to come. Now I'm going to send your majesty to turn around and hide. One way is to invite your majesty to visit the hell, the other way is to teach your majesty to transfer his life."

Taizong had to follow him and lead the way. A few miles down the road, I suddenly saw a high mountain with dark clouds hanging down on the ground and dark fog in the sky. Taizong said, "Mr. Cui, what mountain is that?" The judge said:

"It's the nether world carrying the Hell Mountain." The Emperor Taizong was terrified and said, "How can I get there?" The judge said, "Your majesty, be relieved and be led by your officials." Taizong was trembling. He followed the two men up to the rock and looked up. He saw that the shape was more convex and concave, and the shape was more rugged. It is as steep as Shuling and as high as Luyan. It is not a famous mountain in the Yang world, but a dangerous place in the Yin world. The thorns hide ghosts, and the rock cliffs hide evil spirits.

I don't hear the noise of animals and birds, but I can see ghosts and demons in front of me. The wind was bleak and the fog was dark. The wind was whispering, and it was smoke from the mouth of the magic soldier; The black fog is long, and it is sneaking out. At first sight, there is no scenery, while at the left and right, there is nothing to be seen. There are also mountains, peaks, mountains, caves and streams; But mountains do not grow grass, peaks do not cut into the sky, mountains do not attract visitors, caves do not accept clouds, and streams do not flow. The shore is full of monsters, and the mountain is full of monsters. Wild ghosts are gathered in the cave, and evil spirits are hidden at the bottom of the stream. In front of the mountain and behind the mountain, cattle and horses shout loudly; Half hidden and half hidden, hungry ghosts cry when they are poor. A fateful judge hurries to deliver a letter ticket; The soul chasing captain, yell at the official document. The swift footed whirlwind rolled, and the Gousi people had black fog. Taizong passed the Hell Mountain under the protection of the judge. As we moved forward, we experienced many yamen, and everywhere we heard sad voices, the evil spirits frightened us. Taizong then said, "Where is this?" The judge said, "This is the hell behind the Hell Mountain." Taizong said, "What's the 18th floor?" The judge said: "Listen to me: The Pendant Prison, the Netherworld Prison, and the Fire Pit Prison are lonely, annoyed, and annoyed. They all did thousands of things before their lives, and after their death they were accused. Fengdu Prison, the Tongue Pulling Prison, and the Skin Peeling Prison are all crying and miserable. They only hurt the justice of heaven because of disloyalty and unfiliality, and the heart of a Buddhist snake fell into this door. Grinding the prison, pounding the prison with a pestle, and crashing the prison with a car are all skin and flesh, and wiping the teeth with their lips. They are dishonest, unfair, tactful, and insidious. Cold Ice Prison, shelling out Prisons, churchhouses, dirty faces, frowning eyes, are all fools bullied by the Big Dipper and the Small Scale, which makes the disaster village tiring itself. Oil Pot Prison, Dark Prison and Sword Mountain Prison are all trembling and pathetic. They are all because of violence and good deeds. They hide their heads and shrink their necks.

Blood Pool Prison, A-Nose Prison, and Libra Prison are skinny and naked, and their arms and muscles are broken. They are only for killing money and killing people. It is hard to explain their decadence for thousands of years, and they will turn around forever. One by one, they were tightly tied and tied with ropes. They were short of red haired ghosts, black faced ghosts, long spears and short swords; Bullhead ghost, horse face ghost, iron hammer. He only frowned, his face was bloody, and he cried to the ground that the sky was helpless. It is life, but don't deceive your heart. Who will be spared? Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and we will fight for early and late. " Taizong was shocked when he heard that.

After a short walk, I saw a group of soldiers, each holding flags, kneeling down beside the road:

"The bridge messenger is coming to meet you." The magistrate started to lead Taizong across the Golden Bridge.

Taizong also saw a silver bridge on the other side. On the bridge, there were several loyal, filial, virtuous and virtuous people, and fair and upright people, who also had banners to attract them; There is another bridge in that compartment. The cold wind is rolling, the blood waves are surging, and the sound of crying is endless. Taizong asked, "What is the name of that bridge?" The judge said:;

Barefoot and disheveled hair are all working ghosts. The bridge is a few miles long, only three feet wide, a hundred feet high, and a thousand feet deep. There are no handrails on the upper part, and there are evil monsters robbing people below. Flail - Entangled, hit the dangerous road of Nai River. You can see that the divine general beside the bridge is very fierce and stubborn. The evil spirits in Hanoi are really distressed. On the branch tree, there are Ken's red, yellow and purple silk clothes; In front of the Cliff, people squatting on the Cliff are scolding their parents in law, Ying shrew.

Copper snakes and iron dogs compete for food, and will never fall into the Nai River. The poem said, "When I hear ghosts crying and gods shouting, the blood water is muddy and high.". Countless cattle and horses guarded the Nai River Bridge. " Just then, those bridge messengers had already returned. Taizong was also frightened, nodded and sighed silently. He followed the judge and the captain, and had already passed the evil waters of the Nai River. When I came to the city of waste, I heard people shout, "Li Shimin is coming! Li Shimin is coming!" Taizong was frightened when he heard the call. Seeing a group of headless ghosts dragging their waist and folding their arms, they stopped them and shouted, "Give me back!"! Give me back! " The Emperor Taizong was so frightened that he hid himself and called, "Mr. Cui, save me! Mr. Cui, save me!" The judge said: Sire, those people are the ghosts of 64 places of smoke, 72 places of bandits, princes and heads; They are all dead in vain. They have no income, no control, no extra life, and no money. They are all cold and hungry ghosts. Your majesty needs some money and he, so I can save him. " Taizong said, "I'm here empty, but there must be money?" The judge said: "Your majesty, there is a man in the sun. He has some gold and silver. He will put them in the hell. Your majesty can make a contract with fame, and a small sentence can be guaranteed. You can lend him a treasury to disperse these hungry ghosts before you can pass." Taizong asked, "Who is this man?" The judge said, "He is a member of Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province. His surname is Xiang Liang. He has 13 treasuries of gold and silver here. If your majesty has borrowed from him, you can return him to the sun." Taizong was very happy and was willing to be famous. So he set up a document and a judge, lent him a treasury of gold and silver, and sent it to the chief captain. The judge replied, "You can share the gold and silver equally. Let Grandpa Datang go, and he will live a long time. I have received the Ten Kings' words, sent him back to life, and taught him to hold a land and water meeting in the sun. You can spend more time and rest your life again." When the ghosts heard that they had got gold and silver, they all retreated. The magistrate ordered the captain to shake the soul guiding banner, led the Taizong out of the city of death in vain, and ran to Pingyang Road, drifting away. After all, I don't know which way I came from, and I will tell you next time
