Daiwangfu
Since there is no need to attend the morning court today, many officials will sleep in, and Su Ziji is no exception.
It was already Chenshi when I woke up. It was early in the morning at Chenshi in summer. When I got up, Ye Buhui was still sleeping beside him, but Buhui was pregnant and drowsy. Su Ziji felt that he had suddenly relaxed. Sleepy.
I went out quietly and was asked to prepare hot water, towels and mouthwash. The towel was as white as snow. I took a step in the boiling hot water and pressed it on my face. It was very refreshing.
The original fatigue and sleepiness flew away as soon as I put a hot towel on my face for a while.
After rinsing his mouth and having breakfast, he heard footsteps outside and saw Cen Rubai and Wen Xunpeng coming over. He smiled and entered the corridor.
It was drizzling outside, and the autumn mood was getting stronger. Su Ziji smiled: "The weather is hot, and now it finally rains."
Cen Rubai smiled and said, "It's raining. If it rains a few more times, it will get cold. The king and princess can also have some cool days."
"What this means is that I don't regret the hard work, and I'm afraid that ice will hurt my body, so I don't even dare to use ice. It's really hard, and I'm much better now." Su Ziji said, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Wen Xunpeng was silent. He seemed to be deep in thought and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Wen, what are you thinking about?"
"Your Majesty, I am wondering if there are any errors or omissions in the document I drafted with Mr. Jian yesterday, and whether the temple should be slowed down a bit."
Su Ziji couldn't help but laugh: "I read this book before handing it over. The book is very well written and there are no mistakes or omissions. If my predictions are correct, the emperor will definitely praise me."
Saying this, Su Ziji smiled and was in a good mood, and said: "As for the temple, you can wait a while and wait for me to think about it again."
In fact, the first part of Wen Xunpeng's words is false, but the admonishment of Yan Yihuan is true. He has established sixteen shrines in a row, and his followers have spread to millions of people. Although the public opinion is still low, so many are extremely impressive. It's not good for yourself.
But what I want is this.
He struck again and again and won all the battles. Not only was King Lu eliminated, but even Qi and Shu secretly cut off a lot. Although it was perfect and there was no evidence, this momentum was a bit out of line when measured on the emperor's chessboard.
The emperor may not be interested in himself. Even if he is interested in himself, he still hopes to balance with the kings, rather than gradually stand out.
This temple incident was originally a scapegoat thrown by the emperor to him. He accepted it generously and acted vigorously and resolutely, offending so many people and losing his reputation out of thin air. The emperor knew about it, and he must have been considerate of it, so he would naturally comfort him. reward.
But how could the emperor have thought that he could spread his reputation through events. According to his own observation, although he had offended many people, among the scholar-officials, he was not only well-known in the world, but at least he had a good reputation. Gradually rising.
"Why was it that in the original world, only Li Shimin could achieve the Xuanwu Sect's changes?"
"It is really the work of the King of Qin, and it is famous among the court and the public."
"If you don't have this name, even if you succeed, you will still be a traitor and a traitor, and it will be difficult for officials to accept it."
"I want Taiping to become the crown prince and grandson, but if it doesn't happen, I need a reputation like Li Shimin. This is to pave the way in advance."
"Not to mention, the classics obtained by copying the family have made my Taoism progress day by day, and my alchemy has made great progress."
After thinking about it, the housekeeper hurried over and bowed: "Your Majesty, an angel has come to the palace to announce the decree!"
Probably because the person who came to announce the decree was an unfamiliar face, the housekeeper was a little nervous. He couldn't help but think of what happened to the former King of Lu, and he was a little worried.
Su Ziji stood up and said, "Let's put the incense table on the table. Go to the place where you don't regret to wake me up."
Ye Bugui had to have someone inform him. He had no choice but to do so. Although it was very likely that the matter that came to announce the decree had nothing to do with the princess Ye Bugui, it could be related. If the person didn't arrive, it would be rude.
After a moment, the door of Prince Dai's Mansion opened wide, and Su Ziji, dressed in royal robes, came out to greet him personally.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw the eunuch standing outside smiling. It was Ma Shunde who, in the eyes of outsiders, had just defeated Eunuch Zhao.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Ma." Su Ziji greeted him with a smile.
"My slave is so frightened, how dare you trouble the prince to greet you?" Ma Shunde smiled warmly, even more so than Eunuch Zhao. Those who didn't know might think he had a personal relationship with the king.
Su Ziji hurriedly said: "Today you are an imperial envoy and an angel, as you should be!"
The two of them chatted and laughed, then went inside. When they entered the main courtyard, the incense table was already set, and Ye Buhui, dressed in princess clothes, was waiting, surrounded by maids and servants.
Ma Shunde glanced at it and said, "I would also like to invite Taoist Liu Zhan and Monk Bianxuan to come here. The edict has been mentioned and I need to come and listen to it!"
Although Su Ziji was confident, he was finally at peace with his slightly raised heart. Needless to say, this time Eunuch Ma came to read out the imperial edict to confer the title of Taoist monk.
"Hurry up and ask Master Liu and Master Bianxuan to come and listen to the order!" Su Ziji hurriedly ordered: "Also, the princess is pregnant. Let the princess go to rest. There is no need to wait here."
People ran in a hurry, and after a while, following a burst of light footsteps, a monk wearing a Buddhist robe entered the main courtyard first. As soon as he entered, he folded his hands.
The monk who bowed quietly looked like a jade tree standing in the wind, with great bearing. However, the only flaw was that when he raised his head, a black eyepatch was tied on his handsome face. It was like a piece of beautiful jade, but it was eventually flawed.
Ma Shunde had heard about Bianxuan, and knew that Bianxuan had once had a good reputation in the capital, and was well-known among dignitaries. Unexpectedly, he was beaten after being imprisoned because of his involvement with the big demon. He is blind in one eye. Presumably, under the black blindfold, he has the eyeball removed?
Ma Shunde looked thoughtful.
After waiting for a while, Liu Zhan, who was not in the mansion, also came.
This Mr. Liu was not an unknown person. He seemed to have a grudge against his predecessor. Ma Shunde also took a deep look, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
As he spoke, he stood expressionless behind the incense table, facing south, and shouted: "There is a will!"
Others were not qualified to receive the edict, so they all stayed away and went inside. The three principals knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I will respectfully listen to the edict!"
The sentence "I carry out the emperor's decree by heaven" actually indicates the level of the decree. Ma Shunde continued to read: "I was sent by the king to inspect the shrine. He worked diligently in royal affairs and had outstanding political achievements. He was deeply in my heart and received a reward of five hundred taels." , Thousands of pieces of silk, half a month off..."
"Liu Zhan has already been granted the title of Puji Zhenren, a bachelor. He is devoted to the king's affairs and works tirelessly. It is appropriate for him to be more generous and give him the title of Xuancheng and a plaque to avoid the tax..."
"Qingyuan Temple Bian Xuan was originally suspected. Now he is assisting in the work. He is very sincere. Not only can he be exempted from the crime, but he should also be rewarded according to his merits. He should be given the title of Zen Master Jianxin to show his excellence. I appreciate this!"
After reading the imperial edict, Ma Shunde regained his smile. He first asked the king to stand up, and then said to Liu Zhan: "Master Xuancheng Puji, congratulations, congratulations!"
According to the rules of the imperial court, the person who gives the title has the second character of Chu and the fourth character of it. Xuancheng adds the second character of seal to Liu Zhan. He is already Puji Zhenren. After adding two characters, he becomes the fourth character of Xuancheng Puji Dazhen. If you take one step further, you will be the true king.
In addition to adding two words, a new plaque was also given to Liu Zhan, which means that another Taoist temple can be included in the ceremony, which is a good thing for Liu Zhan and his disciples.
As for Bianxuan, Ma Shunde also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Zen Master Jianxin. He can be cleared of wrongdoing and return to Qingyuan Temple to preside over it."
Although the issue of Qingyuan Temple has not been cleared up and there are still suspicions, Bian Xuan has proven his innocence and naturally returns to the temple.
However, the original host could no longer hold the post. Since the emperor conferred Benxuan as Jianxin Zen Master, it was natural for him to appoint Benxuan as the new host.
