Inside the Shanyuan Temple, there is the Cha Na Pavilion.
Three beautiful ladies were sitting next to Chang Feng and others, pouring wine and serving dishes.
Another sister-in-law was holding a pipa and singing. In a quiet place of Buddhism, it is natural to sing elegant and great music.
The sister-in-law sang the extremely elegant "Eighteen Touches".
"Reach out your hand and touch your sister's hair, the dark clouds have flown across half of the sky. Reach out and touch the front of your sister's head, the heaven is full and addictive..."
The elegant music "Eighteen Touches" becomes more explicit as it goes on.
Xu Yong'an met Xu Fatty's uncle and nephew, and they were accompanied by beauties and elegant music, so they naturally drank happily.
Within half an hour, Xu Yongan became slightly drunk.
Chang Feng chatted with him and got down to business: "Uncle Xu, I heard that Taishan Guards also have fire prevention responsibilities?"
Xu Yongan replied: "Yes. The Mount Tai area is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and the people are simple and honest. In addition, Duke Yansheng of this generation is a generous and good man. It is impossible for us to suppress a civil uprising."
"Our eight thousand brothers, our biggest duty on weekdays is to patrol the mountains and prevent water leakage."
"There is a special water drainage facility for thousands of households in Taishan Guard."
Chang Feng asked insinuatingly: "For example, if a few or a dozen trees on Mount Tai catch fire, and there happen to be hundreds of trees around, can it be put out?"
Xu Yongan shook his head: "Taishan Mountain is high and densely forested, not to mention a dozen trees on fire. Even a single spark may cause a fire that reaches the sky and burn the entire mountain."
"At that time, let alone the 8,000 brothers under my command, even if there are 80,000, we will not be able to put out the wildfire!"
"By the way, why are you asking?"
Chang Feng said perfunctorily: "Oh, it's nothing. I just asked."
Everyone drank for another hour.
Xu Yongan said: "It's almost time. It's time for us to go back to sleep."
Fatty Xu was a little anxious: "No! I think this place is very good. Second uncle, why don't we just spend the night here!"
Xu Yongan narrowed his eyes: "Why are you so anxious, uncle? I'm teasing you! If I don't spend the night here, won't my thirty taels of incense money be wasted?"
The gentle and jade-like sister-in-law beside Chang Feng said softly: "Sir, this poor nun will take you to the bedroom, and we will discuss Buddhism in depth."
Chang Feng stood up: "Uncle Xu, Fatty. I almost forgot, Duke Yan has an important errand for me to do. You guys can rest here. I have to go."
In fact, Kong Hongtai did not give Chang Feng any errands.
Chang Feng is a bit off in this regard. In other words, dedicated.
He always felt that a lady like Liu Xiaoyan was waiting for him because she would not marry until she was twenty. The twenty-eight-year-old beauty survived and became an old girl. He couldn't be sorry to her.
Xu Yong'an warmly persuaded him to stay: "My dear nephew, all the young senior sisters at Shanyuan Temple are well-versed in Buddhism. With just a few words, we laymen can become broad-minded and profound."
"Isn't it a pity that you are gone?"
But Fatty Xu said: "Second uncle, please leave him alone. He is a stubborn Liu Xiahui. It's just the right time for him to leave! The little senior sister next to him also belongs to me!"
"Tonight, fat nephew, I will have a Zen battle with two senior sisters!"
Changfeng left Shanyuan Temple and returned to the Kong family's private residence at the foot of Mount Tai.
In the bedroom where he lived, there was a huanghuali writing desk.
Chang Feng took out a piece of paper and wrote five words: "fire", "flood", "drought", "locust plague" and "earthquake".
After a while, all five words were marked with a cross.
Of the five disasters, only fire can be controlled manually. Wynn made two arrangements with him. In addition, there are so many private residences of Jiangnan nobles at the foot of Mount Tai.
Setting fire is simply not an option.
But he still had a sense of luck: whether he could create a controllable fire.
The next day, he made a special trip to Taishan Guard's Shuishui Qianhu Station. After chatting with Qianhu, who is responsible for fire prevention, for two hours, he found that creating a controllable fire was completely an unrealistic fantasy.
In the next few days, he accompanied Yan Shenggong and Liu Daxia to climb Mount Tai. Appreciate the artistic conception of the small mountains.
I spent ten comfortable days at the foot of Mount Tai. He returned to Qufu to help Yan Shenggong's Mansion with the sacrifices to Confucius.
He gradually came up with the second best idea: anyway, according to Eunuch Huai'en, it doesn't matter if he can't cause any disaster. Think of it as coming to Shandong to hide from the imperial concubines' revenge.
I will be an idle member of the 100 households in Anxin, Shandong. After living a comfortable life, I went to Yan Shenggong to enjoy the Confucius banquet.
After a few years, the emperor was exhausted and the prince ascended the throne. As the hero who saved the crown prince, I can return to Beijing in glory, marry Xiaoyan, and have a bright future.
With Eunuch Huai'en in the capital, he will be able to protect the prince until the day the emperor dies.
However, an incident occurred in the capital, turning Chang Feng's imagination into a castle in the air!
This incident forced Chang Feng to take desperate measures and create an "unprecedented" disaster. Become the crown prince’s biggest contributor to retaining his throne!
This change was - Huai En was demoted to Nanjing!
Beijing, Kunning Palace.
Concubine Wan Gui's condition still did not improve.
Emperor Chenghua has exhausted all methods. All the magic pills, monks' prayers, and Taoist practices are ineffective.
On this day, Concubine Wan Gui lay dying on the bed and said to Emperor Chenghua: "The imperial master has figured out the reason why I have been ill for a long time and how to cure it."
The "national master" mentioned by Concubine Wan Gui is a monk with the Buddhist name Jixiao. He gained the trust of Emperor Chenghua and was regarded as the "Tongyuan Yijiao Guangshan Guoshi".
This person is not a serious monk. It is roughly similar to figures such as Tsar Rasputin in later generations.
Emperor Chenghua's eyes lit up: "What method."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I don't dare to say anything, so I'd better let the imperial master tell the emperor personally."
Emperor Chenghua immediately summoned Ji Xiao.
He looked at Ji Xiao as if he were looking at a life-saving straw: "Master, is there any way to save the imperial concubine?"
Jixiao made a Buddhist salute: "Amitabha! The imperial concubine has been ill for a long time and cannot recover, just because the master of the East Palace and the master of Kunning Palace have conflicting fates!"
"If you want to save the imperial concubine, the East Palace must change its owner!"
If the East Palace changes its owner, doesn't it mean that the prince will be deposed?
Concubine Wan Gui was almost dead, but she still wanted to persuade Emperor Cheng Hua to abolish the crown prince. The frame-up letter failed last time, so this time there is a conflict of fate. It can be considered a deep obsession.
Emperor Chenghua was originally an extremely smart man.
However, throughout human history, those smart people with superior IQs, such as Newton, Darwin, and Einstein, eventually became obsessed with theology.
The same goes for Emperor Chenghua, who had a paranoid superstition towards Ji Xiao.
Emperor Chenghua murmured: "The East Palace has changed its owner, the East Palace has changed its owner."
Suddenly, he asked Ji Xiao: "Is there no other way?"
Ji Xiao replied: "There is no other way."
Ji Xiao is actually not a member of the imperial concubine party. Because he was extremely favored and did not need to be attached to Concubine Wan Gui.
It can be said that he formed his own party - the "Party of Cows, Demons and Snakes". The alchemists, monks, and masters whom Emperor Chenghua brought into the palace all obeyed his orders.
He had no deep hatred for the prince.
He has no interest in political affairs and never interferes. Just try to fool Emperor Chenghua and collect some money.
The reason why he helped Concubine Wan Gui today was ridiculous.
Jixiao's mother is a country prostitute. He wanted to build a chastity arch for his mother.
However, the local magistrate in Jixiao's hometown is quite shameless. After the investigation revealed the identity of his mother, she refused to approve the erection of the memorial arch even if she died.
Jixiao had no choice but to beg Concubine Wan Guifei.
Concubine Wan Gui promised that as long as he helped her complete the important matter of abolishing the reserve, she would immediately help his mother build a giant chastity archway that was three feet high and ten feet wide.
After careful consideration, Emperor Chenghua made up his mind.
It doesn't matter whether the next emperor is the second or third emperor, they all have the surname Zhu anyway.
The concubine is the most important!
So, he summoned the prince's protector - Wynn!
