On May 18, cars and horses gathered outside Jianjing Temple. There were not only scholars with Eguan belts and feather fans, but also ladies with towering buns and fluttering skirts. The square outside the mountain gate was blocked. .
Mingxin felt happy and sad at the same time. So many people meant that the temple was full of incense, but accidents were easy to happen due to the large number of people. Today, the King of Kuaiji came to the temple to burn incense and give alms according to the emperor's order, so he couldn't offend the king.
Fortunately, Miaoyin's hands and eyes were astonishing, so she actually invited two hundred soldiers from the rear army to help maintain order and temporarily block the ordinary incense crowd from outside the temple.
At the end of the morning, King Kuaiji's chariot arrived, accompanied by the crown prince Sima Yuanxian and a group of officials.
Miaoyin personally came to the front of the cart and bowed to Sima Daozi in the cart.
Sima Daozi got out of the car to return the courtesy, exchanged a few words of greetings, and came to the mountain gate accompanied by Miaoyin.
The stone-carved mountain gate is about three feet high, with three rooms and four pillars. It has a white stone Xumi pedestal and a carved lotus.
The three gates are called liberation on the left, Prajna on the right, and the non-duality gate (1) in the middle. In the middle, under the eaves, are the three characters "Jianjing Temple" written by the emperor.
The couplets on both sides were covered with red silk. Miaoyin said with a smile: "Your Majesty has come to pay incense for Long Live the Queen Mother. This red silk should be uncovered by Your Majesty himself."
Sima Daozi responded with a smile: "I will unveil the couplet for the Buddhist temple together with the master."
Amidst the sound of bells, the red silk slowly fell down. "The drums in the evening and the bells in the morning awakened the rich and famous in the world, and the sound of the Buddha's call brought back the charming dreams of the sea of suffering." Two lines of gold characters came into view. After seeing the words, many people knelt down and worshiped outside the mountain gate, chanting orally Buddha's name.
Miaoyin's eyes flashed with satisfaction. With this couplet at the mountain gate, and the couplet in front of the Main Hall, Jianjing Temple has invisibly surpassed other temples in Beijing, and her status in Buddhism has been greatly improved. Maybe in time He is as famous as Master Huiyuan of Donglin Temple and is now the leader of Buddhism.
…………
Jianjing Temple is bustling in the world, and it is inevitable that lay guests will spread the words to the ears of outsiders.
Wa Coff Temple, Master Huijing's dormitory, Monk Fayan is complaining to Master Huijing: "Wa Coff Temple and Yang Tanyue have a deep relationship, why did they leave two verses in Jianjing Temple? Brother, you don't know, these Believers who went to Jianjing Temple to burn incense, worship Buddha, and read verses and couplets on the same day blocked the mountain gate."
Master Huijing sat silently, turning the rosary beads in his hand. After a long time, he said slowly: "Being connected with the Buddha, regardless of the temple, is all about awakening fame and wealth. Junior Brother, you usually go to and fro to receive believers, but you have been a little slack in this task, and you have started to argue. Heart, you might as well leave Zhike to someone else for a while and study the scriptures with me."
Fa Yan folded his hands and said nothing, unwilling in his heart.
Master Huijing sighed and said: "If there is a cause, there will be an effect. There are too many causes and effects on Yang Tanyue, and I originally didn't want to be involved. But junior brother, you light a lantern for him, and the two verses carved on the stone wall, this temple and Yang Tan Yue has formed a deep bond."
With a "pop" sound, the rosary string broke and the beads rolled to the ground.
Fa Yan was shocked and asked: "Brother, this... this..."
The rosary beads were broken, which was a warning. Fa Yan wanted to ask about good or bad luck, but he was stuck in his throat and could not speak.
Master Huijing smiled calmly and said: "There is a beginning and an end. This Buddha bead has been with the old monk for more than ten years. The string is worn and broken. What's the fuss? Pick it up, change the string and string it again."
Fa Yan quickly called a young novice monk, picked up the beads on the ground, strung them up again, and held them in front of Huijing with both hands.
Master Huijing slowly turned the beads. The newly stringed rope was a little astringent and the rotation was not smooth.
Seeing that the look of surprise and doubt in Fa Yan's eyes had not faded, Master Huijing enlightened: "Yang Tanyue's poem said, 'There is nothing in the first place, where can the dust be caused.' Junior brother, you tell people these two Buddhist verses every day. This is But the Buddhist verses have not entered your heart."
Fa Yan looked ashamed and said: "Junior brother realizes his mistake. Now I will give up the post of Zhike to Junior Brother Yuanguan and follow my brother to clear up the world."

Practice Buddhism. "
Master Huijing smiled and said: "That's all, there is nothing you can't learn if you are determined to learn the Dharma. As a guest of knowledge, you have a heavy responsibility. Let the monks practice on time and take care of the incense. There is no need to relinquish the responsibility of knowing the guest."
Fa Yan responded and turned around to leave.
The room became quiet, and Master Huijing slowly turned the rosary beads. The rosary beads gradually became smoother in his hands, and the sound of chanting resounded in the monks' quarters.
…………
On June 8, the emperor issued an edict, "Xie Hun of Chen County, Taiyang Xin, Yingchuan Yu Xiuzhi, and Hongnong Yang Anxuan, who are young and handsome, comely and intelligent, erudite and talented, are ordered to be the attendants of the East Palace." , The four of you should be loyal and diligent in the king's affairs, and do not betray the divine grace."
In the Tai Pavilion, the ministers looked at each other. Except for Xie Hun, the other three people on the list were beyond their expectations.
The left servant shot at the official banquet. Wang Xun's face was as sinking as water, and he sat on the banquet. The officials who passed by the door slowed down their steps for fear of offending him.
No wonder Wang Xun was angry. He originally thought that at least one of the four East Palace attendants would end up in the Langya royal family, but it turned out that he was in vain and his whole-hearted loyalty to the emperor was in vain.
Gradually calming down from the loss and anger, Wang Xun felt chilled. Judging from the four people selected by the emperor, he was probably further depriving the power of the family and holding the imperial power more firmly in his hands.
Among the four, Xie Hun was favored by the emperor and would be the husband-in-law of Princess Jinling in the future. The emperor had said at the beginning that he would choose a figure like Wang Xianzhi and Liu Xun, rather than interfering in royal affairs like Wang Dun and Hengwen.
Yang Xin was somewhat related to the Wang family. Her father was Yang Buyi, the prefect of Guiyang, and her mother was Wang Xianzhi's sister.
Cui Xiuzhi's aunt was Empress Kangxian Cui Suanzi. When the emperor was young when he came to the throne, it was Empress Kangxian who attended the government. When the emperor came of age, she returned to the emperor's government, and she had a close relationship with the emperor.
Wang Xun stretched out his hand to stroke his beard. It seemed that the emperor was planning to use the influence of his relatives to assist the prince and use the influence of his relatives to check and balance the family.
Balance and containment are the emperor's art. When the ancestor Wang Dao assisted Emperor Yuan of Jin Dynasty, he was known as "the king and the horse share the world."
Then the emperor appointed his relatives to the Yu family, and Liu Wei, Diao Xie and others came out to check and balance the Wang family. When Hengwen went into chaos, they had to rely on the Wang and Xie families to join forces to control it.
After the Feishui War, the Xie family became powerful, and the emperor used the Wang family of Taiyuan to divide the power between the Wang and Xie families. Speaking of which, the emperor could also be called the British Lord. He used Wang Guobao to force Xie An, Xie Xuan, uncle and nephew to give up their power and withdraw from the capital. , taking the opportunity to gather the power in his hands.
It was a pity that the emperor was tired of government, indulged in drinking and debauchery, and appointed King Kuaiji to handle political affairs. However, the King of Kuaiji and the Emperor were of the same kind, indulged in pleasure and competing for power. A contemptuous smile flashed across Wang Xun's lips. Without the support of the noble family, the world would have been in chaos.
What comforted Wang Xun a little was that the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Yu family, the Xi family, the Yuan family of Chen County (2), and the Xiao family of Lanling also had nothing to gain, which at least showed that the emperor did not treat one favorably among the aristocratic families.
When his eyes fell on Yang Anxuan's name, Wang Xun showed a bit of fear.
After appreciating the chrysanthemums in Hualin Garden, he sent someone to learn about Yang Anxuan's past. The more he knew, the more extraordinary he felt.
Originally, he had a good relationship with the Yang family, but when Yang Quanqi was defeated in Luoyang, he still interceded for him and moved to Xinye Prefecture.
Yang Quanqi moved to Tangyi to supervise the military affairs of Stone City, and sent Wang Xun greetings and gifts. His words implied a sense of surrender, which made Wang Xun happy that the Langya Wang family would lend more help.
However, Wang Chunzhi's failure to frame Yang Anxuan in the Hualin Garden Reward Game ruined the Wang family's reputation, causing Wang Xun to hold a grudge against Yang Anxuan, and secretly instructed Du Han, the Minister of the Fifth Army, to make things difficult for Yang Quanqi.
Wang Xun was a little annoyed. It was a pity that he broke his arm because of a young boy who didn't live up to expectations.
As he ran his hand through his long beard, Wang Xun's eyes became cold and cold. It was hard to look back now that he had been acquitted. The Yang family promised to inherit the official status of their ancestors and believed that there was no one in the south of the Yangtze River.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
As far as anyone can tell, someone once compared the Yang family with the Langya Wang family, and the Yang family was particularly angry and dissatisfied.
The high-ranking families, including the Wang family, secretly exclude the Yang family, fearing that the Yang family has deep grudges.
Yang Anxuan was born in the Yang family. This son is not a thing in the pond. If he is not suppressed before he rises, if he is allowed to gain power, it may not be a blessing to the Wang family.
This time, Yang Anxuan was selected as the Attendant of the East Palace. It was the King of Kuaiji who personally suggested that he should use a rat weapon. Before the King of Kuaiji's intentions were found out, it was not advisable to deal with him rashly.
After thinking about it again and again, Wang Xun got up and left the official residence, and took a car back to Wuyi Lane.
The oxcart drove into the alley. It is said that the alley can actually carry four vehicles in parallel. There are willows planted on the side of the road. The pink and white walls surround the scenery of the house. Only the dark tile cornices sticking out of the high wall can be seen.
Sitting down in the inner study, Wang Xun ordered: "Go and call Wang Chunzhi."
It took more than half an hour before Wang Chunzhi hurriedly arrived, gave Wang Xun a courtesy, and explained with a smile: "Uncle, my nephew was attending lectures in Guozixue and was delayed for some time. Uncle, don't blame me. "
The smell of alcohol came with the words, and Wang Xun snorted angrily and said: "Wang Chunzhi, you must have mistaken the restaurant for the Imperial Academy."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Wang Chunzhi smiled dryly and said: "Uncle, it was a friend from school who forced Yu to have a drink. Yu couldn't resist, so he went to socialize."
Wang Xun was too lazy to talk to him. Speaking of it, Wang Xun was already three generations away from Wang Chunzhi's father, Wang Caozhi.
Wang Xun's father, Wang Zhi, was of the same generation as Wang Xizhi. Wang Zhi's father was Wang Dao, and Wang Dao's father was Wang Cai; Wang Xizhi's father, Wang Kuang, and Wang Kuang's father, Wang Zheng; Wang Cai and Wang Zheng were brothers, both Wang Lan. the son of.
Since Wang Xianzhi's death, Wang Zheng's position has gradually declined. If the emperor hadn't selected Wang Xianzhi's queen, Shen Ai, as the crown princess, Wang Xun would not have wanted to pay much attention to Wang Chunzhi.
Seeing Wang Chunzhi's tired look, Wang Xun suppressed his anger and coldly snorted: "Do you know about the court's selection of East Palace attendants?"
Wang Chunzhi said with a smile: "Didn't the Xie family recommend Uncle Hong, but the emperor's appointment has been made."
Wang Xun looked at Wang Chunzhi coldly and said: "Wang Hong was not chosen by the emperor, but your opponent Yang Anxuan was chosen."
"What?" Wang Chunzhi screamed, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and asked repeatedly: "Uncle is just joking, how is that possible?"
"What's impossible?" Wang Xun said the names of the four East Palace attendants.
Wang Chunzhi's face turned bitter. He failed to frame Yang Anxuan in Hualin Garden. He was ordered by Wang Xun to study behind closed doors at home for a month. Although he didn't really think about his mistakes behind closed doors, he hated Yang Anxuan more and more.
After finding out that Chen Zhi, Diao Yun and Yang Anxuan had a quarrel, Wang Chunzhi took the initiative to come to the door. The three of them had similar personalities and often got together to discuss how to take revenge.
Drinking today, the three of them gathered together again, thinking about strategies while drinking.
Now that Yang Anxuan has become the Attendant of the East Palace, all the strategies he and his team have come up with have come to nothing. Thinking of Chen Zhi scolding Yang Anxuan for being domineering and hitting people at every turn, would he have to stay away from him in the future?
Wang Xun saw Wang Chunzhi's cowardice and cursed angrily: "Idiot, you are a member of the Wang family, why should you be afraid of a mere soldier? Does Yang Anxuan still dare to beat you?"
Wang Chunzhi shrank his neck, thinking that if Yang Anxuan caught him, that kid might really dare to take action.
"Yang Anxuan humiliated the Wang family in the Yanxian Hall of Hualin Garden. I will not let him go." Wang Xun said slowly, stroking his beard.
Wang Chunzhi was overjoyed. As an uncle, it was easy to deal with Yang Anxuan.
"However, Yang Anxuan has been appointed as the attendant of the East Palace by the emperor. If I take action immediately, I may be in trouble." Wang Xun's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he said solemnly: "Pull the salary from the cauldron, let Yang Anxuan go, and deal with his father Yang Quanqi first." .”
