Tang Zhongzong When Li Xian (born and died from 656 to 710 AD) became the emperor, the prime minister was Tang Xiujing . He is not only the prime minister, but actually a famous general. He once wore armor and charged forward personally, took the lead in arriving at the enemy city, won six battles and six victories, defeated Tubo , and was intimidated by foreign countries.
There is a monk in Chang'an City . He is very good at fortune-telling and there is nothing wrong with the predictions. Moreover, this monk can use magic and spells to eliminate demons and is very famous in the local area.
One day, Tang Xiujing was at home. The monk came to visit and said to Tang Xiujing straight to the point: "Prime Minister, you are about to have a disaster, and it will be a few months later. However, I can help you escape this disaster."
Tang Xiujing was very scared, so he asked the monk what to do.
Monk said: "Actually, I have no good idea, nor is I using magic, I just offer a plan, I hope you can listen to me."
How dare Tang Xiujing not listen? He quickly asked the monk respectfully.
Monk said: "The governors in all parts of the world are arranged by the prime minister, right? As long as the prime minister is willing, then the prime minister can arrange for anyone to go anywhere to be the governor, right?"
Tang Xiujing became a general and became a prime minister, and his power was supreme, second only to the emperor, so he naturally had this power. So he nodded.
"Then, the prime minister should find a poor family but outstanding ability among those small officials, and let him be the governor of Caozhou . This person is grateful to the prime minister and is naturally willing to be the prime minister. After finding this person, the prime minister told me that I will talk about the subsequent strategy."
Tang Xiujing then visited everywhere and found that there was a young master Zhang who was very poor and had strong ability, and only worked as a small official in the capital. So he immediately promoted Mr. Zhang. Ten days later, he promoted Mr. Zhang again, asking him to become the governor of Caozhou in a few days.
Tang Xiujing went to find the monk again and said, "Master, I have followed your arrangements and asked Mr. Zhang to be the governor of Caozhou. What should I do later?"
Monkey said, "When Mr. Zhang went to be the governor of Caozhou, you have to ask him to find two dogs. They must be more than three feet tall and extremely majestic. Such a dog is OK."
Tang Xiujing didn't know what the monk was going to do, but he still agreed.
A few days later, in order to thank Tang Xiujing for his appreciation and promotion, Mr. Zhang came to visit Tang Xiujing, thinking of saying goodbye to her face. In fact, he thought that Tang Xiujing would definitely have a purpose in doing this, so he wanted to ask clearly. In the officialdom, there is no love for no reason, everyone knows.
When I arrived at Tang Xiujing's home, Mr. Zhang said, "I have no fame and talent and low-level knowledge. I am really grateful to the Prime Minister for promoting me from a minor official to a local official. However, in addition to being grateful, I am still a little worried. Does the Prime Minister need me to do anything?"
Tang Xiujing said, "I promoted you just because I appreciate your talent, and there is nothing else. However, I heard that there are many good dogs in Caozhou you are going to, so I want you to find two divine dogs."
Mr. Zhang didn't know what the Prime Minister wanted to do, but he agreed and said goodbye.
Mr. Zhang arrived in Caozhou and became the governor. A few days later, he summoned local officials and said, "I have received great kindness from the Prime Minister and promoted from a minor official to a local governor, and I have no way to repay him. Now the Prime Minister wants two divine dogs, can you find it?"
A minor official said, "I have a big dog in my family, which is much better than ordinary dogs. I hope it can be dedicated to the adults."
Lord Zhang was very happy and immediately asked the minor official to lead the dog. After the little official brought the dog, everyone saw that the dog was indeed unusual. It was more than four feet tall and very fat. It was abnormally majestic and had a chest of more than one foot wide. The key was that it was very obedient and seemed to have been tamed.
Lord Zhang said again: "The Prime Minister wants two divine dogs, only one, but what should I do? Where can I do such a good dog?"
This little official likes dogs very much and knows dogs very well, saying: "There is only one such divine dog in my house in the city, and other dogs are very common.However, there is a village ten miles south of the city where there is a man named Zhang San, and his dog is also very majestic. But, he cherishes that dog very much. I used to want to buy it and he refused to sell it. If you want it, you may have to go there in person. "
When Lord Zhang heard this, he immediately arranged for someone to bring gifts and money, and then asked Xiaoli to lead the way to find the family.
At first, the man refused to sell the dog. However, the little official came to him, said a few words, smiled a little, and seemed very angry again, and half threatened and half coaxed him. The man was indeed willing to give the dog to Lord Zhang.
Lord Zhang gave the many gifts he brought, and dozens of taels of silver he brought to the person. The man was overjoyed and kowtowed.
This dog was really similar to the dog in the Xiaoli family before. It was as fat as the same and the same divine horse, it was simply made of heaven and earth. A pair. Even this dog looks more majestic than the one in the Xiaoli family.
Lord Zhang was very happy and immediately sent someone to give the two dogs to Tang Xiujing.
Tang Xiujing was very happy and rewarded the two more. He also wrote a letter in person to praise Lord Zhang, saying that he did a good job and would take care of him more in the future.
Tang Xiujing has also seen many dogs, but he has never seen these two divine dogs because it is too unusual. He told the monk that he found two dogs and what to do later.
Monk said: "Feed these two dogs well. The disaster of the prime minister must be escaped by these two dogs. "
Ten days later, the monk came again and said to Tang Xiujing: "Sir, your disaster is tonight, so be careful. I'll come here to help you, I hope you don't be afraid. "
Tang Xiujing then left the monk and treated him respectfully.
On the evening, Tang Xiujing and the monk lived in the same room. In front of the lobby outside the bedroom, Tang Xiujing arranged more than a dozen warriors, all wearing swords and swords, and putting arrows on, and did not dare to relax at all.
At night, the monk smiled and said, "Sir, your disaster is gone, you can sleep with peace of mind. "
Tang Xiujing was overjoyed. He was already sleepy and had no time to ask more questions, so he went to bed.
After dawn, the monk asked Tang Xiujing to get up. Tang Xiujing asked, "My disaster is gone, but I don't understand, what's the use of these two divine dogs? "
" Let's go and take a look. "
Both divine dogs were in the back garden. When they arrived, they saw one of them lying on the ground with blood on their necks, as if they had been bitten by some animal. And under the tree next to them, the two dogs were there, with some rags next to them. They raised their heads and looked at the tree, as if there was something on it.
Monk and Tang Xiujing went under the tree and looked up. They saw that one of them was not dressed and was bleeding on the tree.
Tang Xiujing was shocked and asked, "Who are you? Why is it here? ”
The man pointed to the corpse on the ground and cried, "He and I are both thieves. I came here last night to murder the prime minister. However, we met these two big dogs and kept trying to bite us. He was bitten to death by a dog when he was not careful. I was still afraid, so I ran to the tree to hide, and my clothes were torn to pieces by the dog. I wanted to wait for the two dogs to jump and run away when they were not paying attention. Unexpectedly, until dawn, the two dogs would not leave. Now, I have accepted my sins! "
Tang Xiujing was furious and gave an order, asking someone to tie up the man and kill him.
Monk hurriedly stopped him and said, "Their sins are indeed damn, but this is not their original intention, because they are only controlled by others. They have no grudges and grudges with the adults, but are forced to do so. The situation in the court is better than anyone else, so please let him go, Lord Prime Minister. "
Tang Xiujing knew that this was very reasonable. These two thieves were just swords at best, and the master behind the sword was the opponent. So he let the thief go and asked someone to bring clothes. After the thief came down, he put on his clothes, cried and kowtowed, and then left.
Tang Xiujing thanked the monk again and said, "Thanks to the master, otherwise, I would have died at the hands of these two people. "
" This is a blessing for the prime minister, but in fact the old monk did nothing.However, if the archers were just relying on those two thieves, they would not be able to stop the two thieves, so these two dogs made great contributions. They are the reincarnation of the divine dog, and I hope that the adults can treat them well until they die well. "
Tang Xiujing asked someone to get a lot of money and gave it to the monk, but the monk refused. Tang Xiujing also said he wanted to help him repair the temple and plastered the Buddha statue, but the monk refused.
A few years later, the monk disappeared, and Tang Xiujing never found him again.
