The emperor was not joking.
A gentleman's words are hard to follow, let alone the current emperor.
The emperor called someone over and asked Yu Yunwen to write his name on the appointment document that had been prepared.
The document had the official seal, and it was taken out by the emperor himself...
Except for Yu Yunwen, everyone complained and sighed.
The students who came with him were all extremely envious. Not to mention that Yu Yunwen had not passed the scientific examination. Even if he had passed the examination, how could he have become a high-ranking official without ten or eight years of hard work?
And the group of waiting officials were almost in tears.
Comparing one another to others is irritating. I have been on duty for half my life, how could I give it away when the opportunity comes?
Is it really that difficult to say 'want'?
If the emperor hadn't been here, many people would have slapped themselves in the face.
But... looking at the thick stack of documents, everyone noticed the emperor's actions. As long as he asked questions again, he would not hold anything back this time.
Liu Bang rolled his eyes at the group of people, motioned for Yu Yunwen to stand behind him, and took out another portion from the tray held by Lu Zai. Before he could speak, a group of people raised their hands and said:
"I can do it! I can do it! Official family, I can do it! Official family!"
"Students can do it! Students can do it too!"
Exhausted, it was like seeing a stunning beauty again after taking medicine.
Lu Zai couldn't help but wink at Lu You, move faster now, the boy will avoid many years of detours!
Lu You naturally wanted to be an official, but he was very thin-skinned. Although he raised his hand, he could not shout like others.
snort.
Liu Bang seemed to be handing out some worthless items. After a while, he gave away all the more than 30 high-ranking official positions in Mingzhou Prefecture.
There are only a few people who get official positions, but even so, everyone is extremely happy.
The emperor was the most understanding person and asked people to bring them wine, and then walked towards the next group of people.
Only Lu Zai glared at Lu You, wishing he could slap him twice on the spot.
There is a saying that when you are embarrassed to express your love, convey your love to everyone including that person.
Of course Liu Bang was not embarrassed. If Lu Zai hadn't said that inviting Chen Miaochang alone would be bad for his reputation, he wouldn't have cared about these old nuns.
Of course, there are other reasons.
Just like he knew that Chen Miaochang's Nunzhen Nunnery was far away in Quzhou, five or six hundred miles away from Lin'an, and the main reason why she came to Lin'an was to place orders like Master and Disciple Fohai.
Of course, it can't be said that it's just for placing orders, Dharma exchanges and other things need to have a reputation... It's like a poor relative from the countryside who went to the city to eat at a wealthy family.
So when Liu Bang said to her, "It's better to just move to Lin'an", the little lady looked at him like a fool:
Isn’t it the host of Livchen Nunnery?
Then you have to be capable!
I also know that there are many temples around Lin'an, but they are basically all divided by people. It is not that easy for outside monks to come and chant sutras.
Liu Bang asked her again: "Lin'an is lively, what about Mingzhou?"
Chen Miaochang said helplessly: "Buddhism is flourishing in Mingzhou and there are many good men and women. If you want to build a temple, it will be more difficult than in Lin'an."
The main reason is that people in this place are rich, and believers are extremely generous when giving out incense.
Although Lin'an is good, it is divided up by many mountains, but it is actually not as good as the income of the monks in Mingzhou.
Liu Bang had some calculations in his mind. Since all walks of life in Mingzhou had written letters to the people last time, he felt that it was not appropriate to fight again.
Then just move in those who you think can fight.
Just like the appointment, the emperor just asked everyone if they wanted to come to Mingzhou to build a temple. This group of poor monks, smelly Taoist priests and old nuns except Chen Miaochang almost stared out of their eyes.
They are much more direct than the students. In just one cup of tea, Ashoka Temple, Tianning Temple, Qingdao Temple, and countless other places in Mingzhou were all occupied by this group of people.
Naturally, there are also documents issued by the Ministry of Revenue.
Only the abbot of the Privet's Nunnery didn't get anything... and felt extremely disappointed.
It was clear that the emperor was interested in the nuns from their Privet Nunnery, but he let others take advantage of them.
After knowing the emperor's identity, Chen Miaochang kept recalling what he said today in his mind.
He didn't even dare to look at the emperor, let alone make any request.
Everyone basically got their mission. In any case, before boarding the ship, no one expected that the emperor would be so generous.
And Zhao Mi... finally understood what the emperor meant.
The officials are still wary of the Wanmin book, and no one can just let it go.
But if he acted like this...he felt that he had too few people.
"Come, talk to me."
Liu Bang was extremely gentle, and his tone made both Zhao Dushi and Lu Zai on the side have goosebumps.
Chen Miaochang was already very shy. How could he be embarrassed in front of so many masters?
It was the abbot of the Privet's Nunnery who understood the situation, took the little nun's hand, and brought her to the emperor's side.
The smile on his face looked very much like the madam he had met on the Sibei building before.
Seeing that she had brought someone here but was still standing still, Liu Bang glared at her:
"What are you doing standing here?"
"Guan family, our Nunzhen Nunnery..."
The host just said it clearly, but the emperor pretended to be stupid:
"Gungungun, if you dare to talk too much, I will move your temple to the West Lake, and you will receive three hundred guests for me every day."
These words frightened the old nun so much that her face turned pale. She didn't dare to say another word, so she quickly returned to her seat and started reciting the sutra.
"The officials..." Chen Miaochang's face was still red, but she finally looked at him, "Don't move the Privet Nunnery to the West Lake, and don't let the host receive guests..."
Liu Bang laughed loudly: "How could I do that? I'm just trying to scare her."
"Come on, it's very noisy here, let's go out and talk."
As he spoke, he took her outside the deck. It was already dark, and standing on the bow of the ship, one could already see the fishing fires in Mingzhou Port.
It's almost there.
"I never like to force others to make things difficult for me. You can tell me what kind of person you like, and I'll see if you can be a good match."
"If you can, then just follow me and give me some babies. If you can't get along, I won't..."
As he spoke, looking at the distance of seven or eight steps behind him, Zhao Mi and Lu Zai's ears almost stood up.
Liu Bang snorted coldly, took off his shoes and threw them towards the two of them.
When Zhao Mi returned the shoes, he and Lu Zai immediately hid far away, not daring to listen anymore.
The sea water lapped at the boat, and the sound made people feel calm.
Chen Miaochang was originally a lay girl. Like Daoji, she was sent to Buddhism to seek protection because of poor health.
In the future, both Daoji and she will return to secular life sooner or later.
Now……
The night was so blinding that she couldn't see the emperor's face clearly.
At this time, I became bolder.
"My family has been worshiping Buddha since they were young. It is true that they have never thought about things in the secular world."
"Now that the officials want to ask, the slaves will answer from the bottom of their hearts. The officials... don't blame them."
"No blame, no blame," Liu Bang said proudly, "I don't even blame you if you scold me!"
Chen Miaochang lowered his head and thought for a while: "You don't want to be rich by learning, but you need to know the basic etiquette, justice and integrity."
"That's not easy to handle. I usually read a lot... I'll try to read as little as possible in the future."
"Official!"
The little nun squeaked, but thinking that Song Zunwen was already in her heart, what the emperor said was probably true.
She added: "The appearance...can't be too ugly."
Liu Bang patted his chest: "Although this skin is not handsome, it can be regarded as human-like and not ugly."
Nodding slightly, she recognized this:
"When dealing with people, you should put morality first, and do not do anything casual."
"I am most particular about virtue. I won't even look at people without virtue!"
"To be manly, you can't..."
Speaking of this, she seemed to remember something and her voice lowered.
"Can't what?"
"If you remember that the mountains and rivers of my country are broken, you can't just live in peace and contentment."
Liu Bang moved her closer, so close that the little nun could almost hear the emperor's breathing, and only heard him say in a deep voice:
"The previous story may have been false, but for this matter, I can point my fingers at heaven and earth and tell you that I will definitely fight back."
When he said this, his voice was much lower than before, but Chen Miaochang felt that it resounded through his mind.
"Any more?"
The little nun shook her head. She had never even spoken to a man a few times. It was very rare for her to be able to say so much today.
"That's all right, I'm qualified!"
"I will take you into the palace when I return to Lin'an, but now..."
The little nun's heart was beating very fast: "What now?"
"Now, promise me one thing..."
"What..."
Before she could finish her question, she felt someone pick her up around her waist. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the emperor held her tightly in his arms.
"Good sister, please let me eat the rouge on your lips..."
The little nun's heart was in a state of confusion. She couldn't remember any Buddhas and Bodhisattvas at this moment, and her whole body softened.
Liu Bang just put it on her and felt that her mouth was extremely hot. He didn't even taste the real taste. Zhao Mi shouted:
"Guan family! We're here!"
Chen Miaochang quickly broke away and ran towards the cabin.
Liu Bang was furious:
"Zhao Mi, you bastard, drive back twenty miles for me!"
Yesterday, it was 10,000 words. It was only 10,000 words before.
From now on, there will be three updates, about 8,000 words. I will standardize chapters with more than 3,000 words. Then, if there are no surprises, the time will be 8pm;
Thank you for your support. I am very happy that my first order has exceeded 1,000. Thank you all.
There is a reason for the two chapters today. This is the manuscript saved on my mobile phone. It has been changed. The manuscript saved on the computer is at home, but my colleague has returned to positive. If I have to take care of it, I may not be able to go back tonight...
Everyone should also pay attention to Fuyang. Many people around me have been infected. Please pay attention to your health.
