The Great Baoen Temple was a taboo topic in the Yongle Dynasty.
If anyone mentions "Da Baoen Temple" in front of Zhu Di, perhaps the emperor who was smiling happily one moment will turn his face the next moment. Even the prince, the king of Han, the king of Zhao, and Zhu Gaojie would never take the initiative to mention Dabaoen Temple in front of Zhu Di.
However, Zhu Di personally ordered the construction of the Great Baoen Temple. Zhu Di ordered the Ministry of Works to rebuild it on the original site of Cienjing Zhongjiao Temple in Yuanxing. It was nominally in the name of commemorating Emperor Gao and Empress Ma. He ordered the Ministry of Works to rebuild the Great Baoen Temple and its nine floors here. The Glazed Pagoda, in accordance with the palace regulations, recruited more than 100,000 craftsmen from all over the world, and the cost was 2.5 million taels of grain and silver, and one million dollars.
According to the inner picture of the Great Inner Mongolia, a nine-level five-color glazed pagoda was built, which is called the First Pagoda, and the temple is called the Dabaoen Temple.
This is a hugely expensive project that wastes people and money. To this day, the Great Baoen Temple is still under construction.
According to common sense, this should be a famous place, but if you ask where the Dabaoen Temple is in Jinling City, people will be confused and confused, is there such a temple?
Then you continue to inquire, and after spending a long time and energy, you finally find the clues. When you are about to find this temple, the Tiqi of the Jin Yiwei will suddenly come out and escort you to Zhao Prison on unfounded charges. Let you mysteriously "disappear".
The Great Baoen Temple is so mysterious that even the Ministry of Works personnel who were ordered to build the Great Baoen Temple did not know what secrets this temple held.
The only people who knew the truth were probably the emperor and his four sons, and they even avoided talking about it.
…
When Zhu Di asked him to take his wife to Da Baoen Temple to meet "her", Zhu Gaojie was silent for a long time.
"My son, I understand." Zhu Gaojie forced a smile.
Zhu Di paused and said, "Go and take a look, she's living...she..."
The emperor who ruled the world seemed a little lonely at the moment.
"I understand." Zhu Gaojie sighed, stood up and left.
After he left, Zhu Di's face began to distort, looking ferocious and painful.
The people who lived in the Great Baoen Temple were a scar in his heart that would never heal.
He hated this world for why it was so cruel to him.
Although, it was all his own fault.
…
After returning to the palace, Zhu Gaojie changed into a snow-colored casual gown and rode a black horse towards the British palace.
As a prince, he should go out with five chariots and twenty horses, four horses and one chariot, accompanied by drum chariots, golden chariots, eleven pairs of flags, clear roads, swords and shields, twenty pairs of bows and arrows, etc., a total of fifty The seven kinds of standard treatment require several days of preparation before going out, but this is a formal establishment.
For example, when the King of Han goes out, he only has four or five sword-wielding guards by his side, and Zhu Gaojie never likes to be followed. Even the crown prince only brings a few servants to serve him, and a dozen guards to protect him symbolically.
When he arrived in front of the British Duke's mansion, there was not so much drama about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Zhu Gaojie directly took off the jade pendant from his waist to prove his identity, and the people in the mansion immediately offered it respectfully.
Zhu Gaojie was sitting in the waiting room of the Duke's Mansion, surrounded by maids and servants serving tea and snacks. This guy was not polite at all. He treated himself as if he were at his own home. He took a mung bean cake in each mouthful and a cup of tea to smooth his throat. He ate fiercely.
The maid who was waiting next to her was greatly shocked. How can such snacks be eaten like this? Rich people in the capital drink tea and eat snacks to cultivate their sentiments. A stack of pastries can be eaten all afternoon. Prince Qi looks quite elegant and delicate, but in the end he eats The law is like a scourge, one cup of tea consumes two plates!
"Hiccup~"
Zhu Gaojie burped and asked in confusion, "Is your father-in-law sleepy? My stomach is full, why hasn't he come over yet?"
A subtle female voice came: "I'm sorry, my father went to Duke Chengguo's house as a guest after the morning court, and Yingzhen will receive the prince first."
Zhu Gaojie looked in the direction of the voice. She was a girl wearing a Han-style long dress with wide sleeves. She had a pair of peach-blossom eyes like clear amber jade, a slightly pursed red lip, slender shoulders and slim waist, handsome eyes and slender eyebrows, and slender hands as white as green onions. Her skin is so delicate and smooth, her skin is so white that it can be broken by a blow, and her long black and smooth hair is tied up with a silver hairpin hanging with white jade. People can't help but sigh that this girl is really lucky, God is so attached to her, and she is so unforgettable.
And the heroic spirit between her eyebrows is the natural temperament of a tiger girl.
This girl's name is Zhang Yingzhen, the eldest daughter of the British Duke Zhang Fu. Because the British Duke has no children, there is a rumor in Beijing that whoever marries the eldest daughter of the British Duke's family will win the army of 100,000 soldiers in the southwest. Who else has a girl in the world? Is the dowry thicker than this?
And Zhu Gaojie was the one who got this dowry.
"Big girl." The maids saluted respectfully after seeing Zhang Yingzhen.
Zhang Yingzhen waved her jade hand lightly and said calmly: "Everyone, go down."
"This..." The maids hesitated.
Although the eldest daughter of their family is about to get married to Prince Qi, they still haven't gotten married after all. How can a lonely man and a widow live in the same room?
Zhu Gaojie can also understand. After all, this is the Ming Dynasty. If the openness of later generations were to be replaced, the meeting of young men and women who were about to get married would probably be...
Man: Hey!
Female: Yeah~
Man: Stop inking and get down to business!
Female: Yeah~
…
After dispersing the others, Zhang Yingzhen said, "I wonder what the prince is here to do?"
Zhu Gaojie joked: "Can't I, the king, come and see my wife?"
"You..." Zhang Yingzhen had a blush on her cheeks, looking a little at a loss.
Even though she was born into a noble family and had a noble family background, she was caught off guard by such bold words.
"I won't tease you anymore." Zhu Gaojie scratched his head and said, "I came here on orders."
Upon hearing that the emperor had a decree, Zhang Yingzhen said seriously: "Please tell me, my king."
"The emperor asked you to follow me to... the Great Bao'en Temple." Zhu Gaojie coughed and said, "To visit a... person with a special status."
"Visiting a special person?" Zhang Yingzhen was a little confused.
…
In the Great Baoen Temple, as winter passes and spring comes, everything revives. At the end of the forest, every corridor and every pillar is gently depicting the colors of spring.
The red wall tiles in the temple look bright and solemn in the sunlight. It was already dusk when Zhu Gaojie and Zhang Yingzhen arrived, and the afterglow exaggerated the charm of the Da Bao En Pagoda to the extreme.
This temple, built to the standards of a royal palace, is extremely elegant, with more than 30 pavilions, monasteries, more than 100 gallery rooms each, and 38 sutra rooms.
For such a magnificent temple, only the main door of the main hall is tightly closed. There are imperial guards patrolling the temple every twelve hours, as if there are mysterious and terrifying beasts suppressed inside.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Zhang Yingzhen looked at Zhu Gaojie doubtfully.
What kind of special status person is actually worthy of being guarded by the imperial guards?
And it is still hidden in the main hall of Dabaoen Temple. This temple was built by His Majesty the Emperor in memory of Taizu Emperor Gao and Queen Ma!
Zhu Gaojie did not answer and walked to the front of the palace, but was stopped by the guards.
"My lord, you know who lives here, please don't make it difficult for me." Although the imperial guard recognized that this was Prince Qi in front of him, he still stopped him with an indifferent expression.
Zhu Gaojie took out a golden dragon-carving order from his sleeve and said calmly: "The emperor's decree is for me and the princess to visit that person."
