The monk's dormitory of Zhi Miaoyin is on the east side of Jianjing Temple, along the gravel corridor inside the Moon Gate. There are "five trees and six flowers" (1) planted in the courtyard. When I heard the footsteps, several orioles flew out from the flowers and landed on the high branches.
A female nun in silk clothes stood under the eaves to greet him. Yang Anxuan quickly stepped forward and put his hands together in greeting, saying: "Hongnong Yang Anxuan has met Master Miaoyin."
Miaoyin looked about Huaxin's age, with picturesque features. When she heard Yang Anxuan's name, she raised her lowered eyes and said with a sound like a silver bell, "Could it be Yang Anxuan who left two verses on the stone wall of Wa Coffin Temple?"
Yang Anxuan felt like clear waves rippling across his face, gentle and gentle, making people feel calm.
The monk's dormitory is very large, with blue gauze curtains separating the inner and outer rooms. The floor is covered with wooden boards, with mats spread out on the boards and several futons placed on the mats.
There is an incense table under the west wall, enshrining a Buddha statue. The incense is lingering, and the room exudes a pleasant fragrance.
Pouring tea with bare hands, Miaoyin presented it to Yang Anxuan and said with a smile: "This is the Wu Jingxin tea newly made by my master Huiyuan. I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. Yang Tanyue tasted it carefully."
The tea cup is made of fine celadon, like flawless jade. The light yellow tea becomes clearer and richer in the cup.
Yang Anxuan took a sip, and felt a hint of bitterness and sweetness. Master Huiyuan's tea-making skills had improved, and the Wujingxin tea was a little less astringent than last year.
After the first cup of tea was finished, Yang Anxuan filled the pot with water and brewed again. Miaoyin looked at the steaming tea mist and said calmly: "I heard that Yang Tanyue has a good relationship with senior brother Huijing of Wacoff Temple. Why did he turn to Jianjing Temple to donate jade?" Buddha?"
Yang Anxuan put his palms together and said earnestly: "Anxuan has something to ask the master."
Miaoyin sipped the tea unhurriedly and said slowly: "Tan Yue has a predestined relationship with Buddha. Buddhism is vast, and those who are predestined will be able to respond to their requests."
Yang Anxuan thought to himself that it was the fate of the Jade Buddha, otherwise it would be difficult to meet him.
"The court intends to select four East Palace attendants to serve as lecturers. I would like to ask the master to say a few words for Yumei." Yang Anxuan did not go around too much and simply explained his purpose.
Miaoyin smiled and said: "Yang Tanyue has always been famous for his talent. The poor nun read the two verses in front of the stone wall of Wacoffin Temple and was deeply moved by it. There is a couplet missing in front of the main hall of Jianjing Temple. I have it today. The poor nun wants to invite Yang Tanyue. Inscribe a couplet for the main hall."
Of course Yang Anxuan would not dare to refuse if he asked someone for help. A nun sent him pen and ink, and Yang Anxuan thought for a while and wrote: "The drums at dusk and the bells in the morning awaken the world's rich and famous, and the sound of the Buddha's call brings back the charming dreams of the sea of suffering."
He recited the wonderful sound again and again, and said with a smile: "Excellent, but it would be better to place this couplet at the mountain gate. I would like to ask Yang Tanyue to write another couplet."
Yang Anxuan said: "I wrote two verses in Wa Coffin Temple. After I returned home, I turned the verses into a couplet and asked the master for advice."
"Bodhi has no tree, no self, and no one can see the Tathagata at ease. A clear mirror is not a platform, nor is it empty, nor is it a color." Miaoyin softly recited the Zen couplet, and said with joy on her brows: "There are two verses in Waqiao Temple, and two Zen poems in Jianjing Temple. The couplet can also move the name of Jiankang."
Standing up and bowing to Yang Anxuan, Miaoyin said with a smile: "Buddha knows that Yang Tanyue is sincere to the Buddha, and he will help Tanyue's wishes come true."

In the Linxiang Marquis Mansion, Che Yin bid farewell to each other in front of the door.
Watching several bullock carts leave one after another, Che Yin said to the steward Che Quan next to him: "If there are any visitors again, just say that I am unwell and need to rest."
Che Quan respectfully responded. Che Yin walked two steps into the courtyard, stood still and pondered for a moment, and then said, "If Yang Anxuan comes, let him come to the study to see me."
The news came out that the emperor had appointed the minister of the East Palace
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, the gate of Che Mansion is like a city, and there are constant visitors from Chen to You.
Everyone knew that the emperor had great trust in Che Yin. Che Yin is a doctor of Guozi and a famous scholar. After the candidates for the Eastern Palace Minister are drawn up, the emperor will definitely consult Che Yin for his opinion.
Back in the study, Che Yin picked up a copy of Yang Anxuan's homework from the desk, which was left behind by Yang Anxuan last year. After reading a few paragraphs of Yang Anxuan's opinions on "Shang Shu", Che Yin couldn't help but nod in approval.
Turning to the words "People's hearts turn against them, virtue and political power rise and fall", Che Yin stroked his beard and pondered.
Yang Anxuan's voice from that day resounded in my mind, "'When people's hearts turn against them, virtues and policies rise and fall.' Zhou imposed tyranny and lost the people's support, so the Zhou Dynasty and Shang Dynasty were established."
Che Yin's hand trembled. Since the dynasty moved south, the nobles had annexed the fields, leaving a large number of refugees with no place to settle. Coupled with the constant natural disasters, the people were displaced and in extreme poverty. However, the emperor and his ministers were too busy having fun and had long forgotten the Northern Expedition.
"Shangshu" says that "the people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country." The court ignored the people, fearing that the story of the Yin and Shang Dynasties would repeat itself. Yasheng said that "the people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important", and a few more people listened.
When the Changxing appeared, the emperor lamented in Hualin Garden that there was no such thing as a century-old emperor, and how could there be a thousand-year dynasty in this world. Che Yin was suddenly horrified. Everyone thought that the appearance of the long star was due to the conflict between the Yan Dynasty and the people's deprivation of life. If you think about it carefully, this long star might be an early warning to the court.
Che Yin wanted to get up and go to the palace to face the emperor and remonstrate directly with the emperor. He recalled that the emperor was angry when the long star first appeared. Later, when the prophecy "Yan Dynasty fought, the long star appeared" appeared, the emperor was relieved. If he said that the long star appeared It's the emperor's fault. I'm afraid that not only will the emperor not listen, but he will punish himself.
He sighed dejectedly, remembering that Yang Anxuan said that he did not want to be a wise man but wanted to lead the army in the Northern Expedition to save the people from fire and water. He didn't know whether it was right or wrong.
…………
On May 12th, in Yanxian Hall of Hualin Garden, the emperor held a banquet for his ministers, including the prince, King Langya, King Kuaiji, King Qiao, prince Shaofu Wang Ya, Wang Xun, Xie Yan, Wang Guobao, Kong Anguo and Wang Shuang. , Xu Miao, Che Yin, Yu Hongzhi and others were all present.
Che Yin looked at the people present and knew that today's banquet might discuss the candidate for the lecturer in the East Palace.
Sure enough, after drinking for three minutes, Sima Yao said with a smile: "The prince has entered the East Palace. I intend to appoint four ministers to accompany the prince in his studies. They can also assist the prince to fill in the gaps."
Everyone in the audience exchanged glances. This minister of the East Palace will be the prince's close minister in the future, and all the ministers are bound to win.
Sima Yao said to Sima Daozi: "Let's discuss it first and come up with a list for me to choose from."
What you say and what I say are all my family members. The servants of Huangmen and Yinyou all sat next to each other and wrote down the names mentioned by everyone.
Wang Hong of the Wang family of Langya, Wang Hong is the eldest son of Wang Xun, the left servant of Shangshu; , Wang Sui is the son of Wang Tanzhi’s second son, Wang Yu, and the nephew of Zhongshu Ling Wang Guobao...
Yin Youqi shook his head secretly while writing. The names on the paper were all from high-ranking families. Taking advantage of the gap, he glanced at Che Yin. Che Yin was sitting dumbly. He was no longer joking and joking like in the past. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hongnong Yang Anxuan has a reputation for talent, and he can be chosen by Long Live."
The words of Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, shocked everyone. Everyone knew that the king of Kuaiji was at odds with the Yang family. Yang Anxuan was demoted from the upper and middle grades to the upper and lower grades. This was what the king of Kuaiji mentioned. Why did he speak for Yang Anxuan today?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
talk.
Che Yin's mind was spinning. Could it be that Yang Anxuan fell into the eyes of King Kuaiji because of the play "Butterfly Lovers"? It is sad that the right path does not lead to evil but the evil way prevails.
"No", Wang Guobao shouted: "Although Yang Anxuan is very talented, he behaves frivolously and often gets into trouble. Such a person is really not suitable to stay with the prince. Please be careful."
Yu Hongzhi, a doctor of Taixue, also said: "Last year, the two schools were fighting, and it started because of Yang Anxuan. This son is young and frivolous. He still needs to study to cultivate his character. I also think that he should not be placed next to the prince."
For a time, Wang Xi, Xie Yan and others thought it was impossible.
Everyone ruined Yang Anxuan, which made Che Yin angry. These important ministers only planned for the family. Who could speak out for the people of the world? In comparison, Anxuan wanted to learn from Huan Sima and was much better than them.
"Long live, Yang Anxuan wrote "Little Window Quiet Sentences", which was the first of his generation to compose a new song. He mastered two classics in less than a year after entering school. All of these are excellent strategies. I wonder who among those people just now can do it."
The conversation left everyone speechless, and even Xie Yan looked ashamed. His son Xie Hun had a good reputation and was good at writing articles, but he was still far behind Yang Anxuan.
Che Yin said angrily: "You say that Yang Anxuan is causing trouble, but I want to ask who is causing trouble and why these troubles arise. Could it be that the thieves outside Nanli Gate were the ones causing trouble because of Yang Anxuan?"
The murder of Yang Anxuan and Liu Zhong by thieves outside Nanli Gate has long been settled.
Wang Guobao's heart suddenly wondered, maybe Che Yin heard something about it somewhere. He had already taken care of the problem himself, so there shouldn't be any leaks.
Fortunately, the emperor did not ask further questions. Many people in the hall had evil intentions. They did not dare to refute after being angrily scolded by Che Yin, and the hall fell silent.
Sima Yao smiled and said: "The people mentioned by you are all talents of the moment. I will make a decision after I think twice. Come and play music. There is a new song coming from Shulan Courtyard in Jingkou. I will enjoy it with you."
The music started, and the singer sang softly "It was windy and rainy last night", and everyone gradually let go of their thoughts and immersed themselves in the artistic conception of "you know, you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin".
After the song ended and everyone dispersed, Sima Yao asked King Kuaiji to stay and asked, "Why did the emperor mention Yang Anxuan's name?"
"A few days ago, Master Jianjing Temple Miaoyin came to the palace to pray for my ministers, and he accidentally mentioned the appointment of the East Palace Minister." Sima Daozi knew that the emperor had great favor and trust in Zhi Miaoyin, so mentioning her would definitely arouse the emperor's curiosity.
Sima Yao laughed and said, "Could it be that Yang Anxuan followed the path of Master Miaoyin? What did Master Miaoyin say?"
"The master said that the prince is the crown prince of the country, and you should not be careful in choosing the ministers around you. Long live the great talent, take back the imperial power from the hands of the aristocratic family, and derive your authority from yourself. We must not repeat the story of 'the king and the horse share the world'."
Sima Yao's eyes narrowed and he sighed: "Master Miaoyin is really knowledgeable and insightful, and what he said is very true. Most of the names mentioned just now are children of high-ranking families, and I also think it is inappropriate."
Sima Daozi held the jade tail in his hand and continued: "Master Miaoyin said that Yang Anxuan was destined to the Buddha and wrote two couplets in Jianjing Temple. She planned to invite believers to pray for blessings on May 18th, consecrate the couplets, and invite her disciples Go and watch the ceremony.”
"Oh, what did Yang Anxuan write?"
Sima Daozi read out the two couplets, and Sima Yao clasped his hands and recited the Buddha's name, saying: "These two couplets make people deeply awaken. It is not without reason that Yang Anxuan was accepted by Master Huiyuan as a lay disciple. Imperial brother, please pray for Jianjing Temple. My mother and I will give you one hundred thousand incense."
