Upon hearing this, Wu Zhizhong turned his head and saw the traitor Cai Jing with a serious expression.
Although there was no flaw on this guy's face, his eyes looked very gloating.
"Master Yuankong escaped into Buddhism, and he was not in a good mood to come to the official family."
"Wu Shangshu, if you press forward step by step, not only will it not help the matter, but it will annoy the officials. The proof is right in front of you."
"Wu Shangshu, you are a rare loyal minister in our dynasty. If you argue with the officials for the sake of national affairs, a lower official would understand it, but you..."
The group of subordinate workers in front of me are yin and yang weird. Who is Wu Zhizhong? He is an old driver who dares to point his nose at Cai Jing and confront him.
After hearing these sarcastic remarks, he laughed angrily and pointed at the subordinates.
"Okay, okay, I remember what you said today."
After saying this, Wu Zhizhong sneered and walked away. Several familiar ministers quickly caught up with him and tried to persuade him.
However, Wu Zhizhong was like a bull who never looked back until he hit the south wall. No one was willing to pay attention to him and he quickly left the court.
As for Taiwei Gao Qiu, he wanted to give some advice, but when he thought about how this old guy who claimed to be a loyal minister had a good relationship with his son, he had a good relationship with himself, haha...
Forget it, at most I can wait until Zhang'er returns to Bianliang, Tokyo, and then have a good talk with him.
Wu Zhizhong walked away quickly, and all the familiar ministers could only watch helplessly as the other party walked away quickly.
But Chen Shilang kept walking and followed closely.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, can you please slow down..."
"We can't be slow. If those guys come here, we'll be in a lot of trouble again."
Wu Zhizhong tilted his head, looked at the ministers behind him who had slowed down, and continued to stride forward.
"You just go to Lingyin Temple with me to be a witness."
"...I understand."
Chen Shilang wiped his face, although he felt that the officials and Wu Shangshu were acting a bit too much.
But having said that, only in this way can the criticisms of those ministers and workers be resolved.
Just like today, the official reputation was cut off from his beloved daughter Zhao Fujin, and the ill-tempered Wu Shangshu went to find Master Yuankong who had escaped into Buddhism in anger.
And persuade the other party to rekindle hope in life and the world, and then accept her as a stepdaughter.
As a result, the civil and military officials really had nothing to say except that they admired Wu Shangshu for daring to face the emperor's anger and not being afraid of death.
This is equivalent to solving the problem of Zhao Fujin's status as a noble daughter of the Tian family.
When Wu Shangshu strode into Lingyin Temple, in a short time, under the guidance of the abbot, he arrived at Master Yuankong's residence in Lingyin Temple.
This is a separate courtyard. Zhao Fujin lives here with the two maids who take care of his food and daily life. By the way, he takes him to practice. Well, it's really convenient.
When a nun came quickly to deliver the news, she said that Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, had something to do and had to pay a visit to Master Yuankong.
Zhao Fujin quickly tidied up his appearance, covered all his black hair in a monk's hat, and then walked out of the room.
Then I saw Wu Shangshu, who had beard and hair as white as snow, come to the front accompanied by Chen Shilang, the abbot of the temple, and other monks and nuns.
Wu Zhizhong wanted to tilt his head and ask Zhao Fujin to leave with him directly, and then he could rush to the mansion of Captain Gao to propose marriage.
It's a pity that for the sake of the official's face, Xiao Gao became the number one scholar. He, an old helper who was supposed to be the favorite of the masses, had no choice but to toughen up and become an important role in the process.
After taking a look at the people around him, Wu Zhizhong let out a deep sigh and started his performance.
"For such a young girl, her life has just begun. Why would she want to cut off all ties in the world and accompany the ancient Buddha's green lantern..."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Fujin, who had also worked hard to marry his beloved, his eyes turned red and he couldn't help but shed tears like pearls...
Chen Shilang stood aside and watched the old man and the young man performing in front of him.
In the eyes of Chen Shilang, an insider, the acting skills of these two seemed quite exaggerated and left many unsatisfactory qualities.
However, for those onlookers who did not know the truth, it was really heartbreaking to hear it.
The abbot of Lingyin Temple had red eyes and kept whispering the Buddha's name.
A group of people also wiped their tears secretly. As more and more people gathered around, many pilgrims heard the discussion and came closer.
At this moment, the old voice was heard shouting.
"...If Master Yuankong does not give up, I am willing to help Master Yuankong return to secular life and adopt her as an adopted daughter."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone who knew that Master Yuankong was Zhao Fujin, the beloved daughter of the official family, was in an uproar.
The abbot of Lingyin Temple couldn't even speak. Wu Zhizhong suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted sharply at the abbot of Lingyin Temple.
"Now that I have adopted this adopted daughter, Lingyin Temple still dares to stop me?"
Then he turned his head and was about to salute. He realized it just halfway through and quickly changed his mind to giving Zhao Fujin a gentle hand and gentle words of advice.
"Come, follow your old age, ahem, follow your father and go home..."
Soon, a shocking scene appeared again. The emperor's beloved daughter, now Master Yuankong, actually bowed to Wu Zhi, the ill-tempered Minister of Etiquette.
"...The daughter pays homage to her father."
#####
The entire Lingyin Temple, oh no, or the entire Tokyo Bianliang area was boiling over it.
The beloved daughter of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Maode Diji, escaped into Buddhism and became a nun, which was enough to shock everyone.
But what blinded people the most was that Wu Zhizhong, an important minister of the imperial court and the Minister of Rites, urged the officials to withdraw their orders from the court.
As a result, there was a verbal conflict with the officials in the court, and the bad-tempered Minister of Rites actually acted in a saucy way.
He rushed directly to Lingyin Temple and found the Maode Emperor Ji whose dharma name was Yuankong, after persuading her hard.
He actually persuaded Emperor Maode to recognize him as his father, and Wu Zhizhong took Yuankong directly to the Kaifeng County Government Office to go through the adoption procedures.
The magistrate of Kaifeng County was immediately confused. How could he dare to do such a thing?
One side is the Minister of Rites, and the other side is an official of the Song Dynasty. Do you still want the official hat on your head?
In the face of the Kaifeng County magistrate who expressed his mad refusal and even cried bitterly to dissuade Wu Shangshu from causing such nonsense.
Wu Shangshu was very upset and sat in the hall with a dark face without saying a word. Fortunately, his old partner Chen Shilang was a smart man and immediately pulled the county magistrate aside to mutter.
However, no matter how eloquent Chen Shilang was, the county magistrate's attitude that he would rather die than obey made Chen Shilang numb and helpless.
At this time, the official who had received the news looked at Yang Jian beside him. Yang Jian bowed to the official with understanding and walked away quickly.
