When Cao Qiansong and Zuo Qiuhong saw the golden seal on Liang Chuan's face, there was a clear trace of disdain. When they saw Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang following behind Liang Chuan, their expressions visibly fluctuated.
Not only Liang Chuan, but Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang also had gold seals on their faces. The three of them seemed to be from the same gang. Standing together gave people a sense of oppression.
Liang Chuan took in all the subtle expressions and turned to Sun Shubo sideways and asked, "Do you know these two cowards?"
Sun Shubo seemed to agree with Liang Chuan's title for the two of them. He chuckled and said, "It's in vain that they come from a family of famous generals. They only sound good but useless. They had dealings with the Forbidden Army and they were defeated by their generals!"
Oh, Liang Chuan responded.
Since these two people were completely defeated by Liang Chuan in the mountain people's chaos, they no longer have the same sense of superiority as the three generations of generals. Even Si Fangxing dared to look at them with his nose when walking around Weiyuan Tower.
A general's sense of existence is based on his performance. He can't even defeat a few peasants holding dung forks. What else is there to show off, other than to humiliate himself?
When Liang Chuan saw the two of them, he knew that the person sitting in the sedan must be Prince Zhao, the prefect of Quanzhou, Zhao Weixian!
He hurriedly approached and said politely to the person in the sedan: "Well, Prince Zhao!"
The person in the sedan slowly pulled up the curtains and walked out. As expected, it was Zhao Weixian who was born with a fair face and a rich face. No one could imitate this innate temperament of a royal child, and the same was true for Zhao Yunrang.
Zhao Weixian saw that Liang Chuan was so polite, he was less unruly and more sophisticated than before. He obviously felt the changes in him over the years, and for a while he couldn't understand this young man.
Zhao Weixian hurriedly lifted Liang Chuan's body up with both hands. Liang Chuan did not show any politeness and stood proudly in front of Zhao Weixian.
Cao Qiansong and Zuo Qiuhong, who followed behind, only thought that Liang Chuan was still the mud-legged man he had been before, and now his status was even more humble. He was still a side soldier who had been punished by the court. Although they had heard that he had befriended several high-ranking officials in Bianjing, they They have never heard of any of the high-ranking officials in Bianjing City. How could they get acquainted with Liang Chuan with their noble status? Doesn't that mean they are underestimating their own status?
He is the only one who dares to show off in front of the prince!
"Liang Chuan, please stop being so presumptuous!"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Shubo immediately jumped out and said in a voice like thunder: "You are so arrogant! My boss is talking to the prince, what do you and other servants have to say?"
The word "servant" seemed to have slapped Cao Qiansong and Zuo Qiuhong twice in the face. It hurt so much that their throats seemed to be blocked by stones and they couldn't say a word!
Zhao Weixian looked at Liu Jinyan and Qin Sang who were following Liang Chuan quietly, shouted to them in a low voice, and said rather dissatisfiedly: "Don't be rude, stand down!"
The two of them retreated behind the sedan with hatred. Zhao Weixian made an invitation gesture to Liang Chuan and said: "This is not the place to talk. I heard that the Chengtian Lane in front is full of incense and the environment is quiet. Why don't Sanlang move to Chengtian Temple!"
Liu Jinyan wanted to go to rest early, but the punishment was usually not light. After walking a few steps on the land route, someone stopped her to say hello. These people were either drinking or talking about some political issues that she hated, which really annoyed her.
Seeing that Liu Jinyan looked unhappy, Zhao Weixian could only invite him in a friendly voice: "Miss Liu, why don't we go to Chengtian Temple to revisit the old place together!"
Liu Jinyan thought to himself, wow, you even know that I have been to Taiyue Temple: "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inconvenience for our girl's family to talk to you men."
Zhao Weixian was very polite to Liu Jinyan. He knew the great man behind Liu Jinyan.
"It doesn't matter, the beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival is the perfect time to make a wish and play. Why not count your fortunes? The Arhats at Chengtian Temple will answer any request!"
Liu Jinyan looked at Liang Chuan and saw Liang Chuan nodding, so he followed them.
The gate of Yuetai Temple was open during the day. When he arrived at the temple gate, Liang Chuan asked the novice monk sweeping the floor, "Is your host back?"
The young novice said: "Reply to the donor, our abbot is always in the temple!"
Liang Chuan said happily: "Master Hongyi is back?"
The novice monk shook his head and said: "The donor must have admitted his mistake. Our Dharma Master, Wu Neng, is not Master Hongyi as mentioned by the donor! Besides, there is no such master in this small land!"
Liang Chuan asked doubtfully: "How is it possible? Has Monk Hongyi not returned yet when I left last time?"
The novice shook his head and continued sweeping the floor. Liang Chuan had no choice but to enter the temple with Zhao Weixian.
The environment of Yuetai Temple is as quiet as ever. The platform plaque hanging in front of the door seems to have been replaced with a new one. The bluestone slabs in the temple have become smooth and smooth due to the trampling of pilgrims. Walking to the end of the alley, there is a He built a small earth temple, Liang Chuan went up, offered three sticks of incense, and worshiped three times sincerely.
Upon seeing this, Liu Jinyan followed up and bowed three times, seemingly understanding.
Liang Chuan said: "We are back to Qingyuan now. From now on, we will be protected by the Lord of the land here. Only by being sincere can we be successful!"
Liu Jinyan nodded and muttered something. If Qin Sang doesn't bow, they have gods in their own mountains.
Zhao Wei smiled bitterly as he listened to Liang Chuan's words. Who could understand the clay sculpture? It was clearly meant for him, the person sitting in the Weiyuan Building.
After passing through the Maitreya Hall, there is the courtyard behind the temple. Inside, there are two giant turtles that are about to achieve perfection. Liang Chuan asked Sun Shubo to get some rice and sprinkle it into the pond. Only turtles that have been around for thousands of years don't care about this kind of food. The water surface was stunned. There wasn't even a ripple, just his disciples and grandchildren basking in the sun on the water.
Everyone else was waiting outside Maitreya Hall.
Zhao Weixian walked leisurely in the temple, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and said to himself: "I never thought that we have known each other for several years. Time is not forgiving. You, Sanlang, are becoming more and more mature, and I am already old!"
Liang Chuan flattered him and said, "Prince Zhao will always be young. This is the year when he is in his prime. Where does the word old come from!"
Zhao Weixian chuckled and said: "You can't accept the old age. You are young in this era. We old people should have abdicated long ago!"
"Prince Zhao has worked hard and devoted a lot to the people of Quanzhou Prefecture. He has devoted half his life to it. The common people have witnessed the great changes in Quanzhou Prefecture in the past few years. Your Excellency is indispensable. The people remember history even more. Why should we take it lightly?" I want to abdicate!"
"Sanlang is laughing at me! Everyone in the world knows that Qingyuan Port is under the name of Shishi Shipping Company, but in fact it is under the name of your port office. It is also due to your careful management that we have such a prosperous situation now!"
"If your Majesty hadn't generously delegated power, how could we have pooled the efforts of the people to build this port? Don't say that your Majesty has done nothing, but doing nothing is a hundred times more beneficial than blindly directing and indiscriminate actions!"
Liang Chuan said calmly: "Some people think that they understand the principles of ancient and modern times after reading a few books by sages. In fact, they don't understand. There are specialties in the profession, and life is best managed by the people themselves. If you can let go and let the people work hard and toss on their own, , this is great wisdom, so sir, I admire you for this!"
After hearing this, Zhao Weixian's face softened a lot. He pointed at the towering tree at Yuetai Temple and said, "It is said that this tree flew from Jianzhou?"
Liang Chuan said thoughtfully: "Then I don't know. The first great monk here used to go wandering around somewhere. It's a pity that I didn't go with him to see this great river and mountains!"
Zhao Weixian paused and said, "Uh... How is the Queen Mother's health?"
Liang Chuan glanced at Zhao Weixian, then at Liu Jinyan and said, "Prince Zhao, what you said is..."
Zhao Weixian said: "Back then, Xiao Wang was not paying attention, causing Miss Liu to fall into the water under Xiao Wang's jurisdiction. This was a major case involving human life and involving the law. Fortunately, the Queen Mother pardoned it, and Xiao Wang was able to live in Quanzhou... So... Many years have passed, and I haven’t had the opportunity to go to Beijing to meet the saint to express my gratitude to God!”
Liang Chuan's heart skipped a beat. The Three Treasures Palace was right in front of him. Sure enough, something was coming!
Liu Jinyan said: "This matter has nothing to do with adults. It's just me being playful. Besides, my mother is not the kind of unreasonable person. You don't have to worry about it. It's been so many years and I'm fine now!"
Liang Chuan sighed and said to Liu Jinyan: "Go and burn incense for me in the main hall!"
Liang Chuan pushed Liu Jinyan away, and Zhao Weixian thought to himself that Liang Chuan was really clear-hearted! It is said that this man was able to control the wind and rain in Bianjing. At first, it was just an outsider adding fuel to the fire, but now it seems that this man may not be without his merits!
"My lord, you can speak frankly now. If this is still the case, then Miss Liu and Queen Mother Liu are not cautious people. I can vouch for this. If it is something else...!"
Zhao Weixian's heart trembled. He could vouch for Empress Dowager Liu. This was too much. But seeing Liu Jinyan's respectful attitude towards Liang Chuan, and the fact that the two of them returned from Bianjing together this time, the relationship behind them was real. People have to think more, does Zhao Weixian dare not believe it? He doesn't dare!
"Sanlang's loyalty and courage are truly heroic! Wei Xian didn't dare to confide here, so he could only tell the truth and tell the truth. He has been in Qingyuan for many years. Now his life is not as good as before. He only looks forward to his old age. If I can return to Beijing now, I will probably be able to guard the tombs of my ancestors. It is not a waste of filial piety!"
Liang Chuan frowned, why are you saying this to yourself? He knows that he has a good relationship with the Queen Mother, and does he want him to blow air in the Queen Mother's ear?
Zhao Weixian was a little anxious when Liang Chuan didn't express his position, so he continued: "It is rumored that Sanlang is a close friend of Xia Xianggong's guests. I also asked Sanlang to help us smooth things over for the sake of our long-term friendship!"
Zhao Weixian spoke so sincerely that he was almost in tears. If he hadn't seen his arrogant look, Liang Chuan wouldn't have believed it was Zhao Weixian.
"Sir, how can you listen to people's noise! How can you believe such gossip!"
When Zhao Weixian heard that Liang Chuan refused to agree, he was so anxious that he half-knelt down with Liang Chuan! How dare Liang Chuan accept his kneeling? He immediately held Zhao Weixian's hand and said, "Your Majesty, you must have seen the golden mark on my face. Outsiders only think that I, Liang Chuan, am beautiful outside, but they don't know how much suffering I have suffered from others. Master Xia It's true that you praise me, but I can't forget my identity. Everyone in Bianjing knows that I'm just a slave in the Xia Mansion, how can I be so capable of helping you reach the sky!"
