In Leizhou, wind and thunder rise at all times, and the ancient earth in the south of the sky rises.
Liang Chuan would rather pass by Guangzhou than see this large port in the East, but rather pass by this sterile promontory.
His old boss lived in Leizhou back then.
There are two of his bosses, both of whom are among the most powerful figures in the dynasty. One is still in his most glorious stage, and the other is in the darkest era of his life.
Ding Wei, Ding Linglong!
The small Leizhou actually accepted two prime ministers of the Song Dynasty at the same time. However, the people of Leizhou only remember Kou Zhun, but few people remember who Ding Wei was.
Shitou's escort arrived in Leizhou and settled at the Ganquan Temple on the post road. The abbot of the temple had a childlike face and a white beard, but his voice was bright and loud.
Shen Yuzhen has been following Liang Chuan, and wherever the two of them go, they never miss an opportunity to have in-depth communication. However, as long as the place they stay is a temple, the two of them will stop having sex without hesitation.
Although Shen Yuzhen was eager to have a son, she did not dare to make trouble in front of the Buddha.
Liang Chuan always worked hard whenever he had the opportunity, just to fulfill Shen Yuzhen's wish.
The incense in Ganquan Temple is not very popular. It is far inferior to Chengtian Temple, and there are not many merchants in it.
To the east of Guangzhou, there is an endless stream of merchants on the post roads. Most of them take the Meiguan Ancient Road or the Southern Guangdong Ancient Road, but there are far fewer merchants going to Guangnan West Road. Guangnan West Road is too poor, and the risks that merchants take there are huge. The income is not proportional to the risks, so there are not many merchants on this road.
The interior of the temple is extremely bright and clean. The simple blue bricks and vigorous old pines all show the age of this ancient temple.
Liang Chuan walked around the temple a few times, and suddenly thought of Master Hongyi. The great monk had not heard from him for several years, and he didn't know where he was wandering at this time.
As he turned around, Liang Chuan suddenly saw a line of words inscribed on the wall of the temple in the east chamber. The handwriting was tall and powerful, quite like everyone's style.
"Pingzhong Zuoquan passes by here, looking back at Beique, walking sadly!"
Liang Chuan took a closer look and was surprised when the signature was signed. It turned out to be the famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun!
In surprise, a person suddenly appeared behind him, and a loud voice of Buddha came: "Amitabha!"
Liang Chuan turned around and saw that it was the master in charge of Ganquan Temple. He quickly bowed and saluted: "Master, Xiao Ke is being polite!"
"Did the donor feel inspired when he saw this inscription?"
Liang Chuan said sternly: "However, Master Kou defeated the Khitans in Chanzhou and gained precious peace in the North for decades. It is a blessing to our Song Dynasty. It is really a meritorious service. I can actually see Master Kou's handwriting here. It is really It surprises Xiaoke!"
"The small temple is located in a strategic location. Although there are no nobles to favor it, there are occasionally a few important people passing by. This is the original inscription on the wall that the Kou Prime Minister felt when he was deposed from Leizhou!"
"Success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there. There is no Prime Minister Kou back then, only Ganquan Temple is today!"
"The donor is in a good state! I think the donor is destined to be a Buddha!"
Liang Chuan laughed: "I don't have any pursuits, and I take a broad view of everything, so you think I have more Buddha nature!"
The host sang another Buddha song and said with a hearty smile: "There is a benefactor with an open-minded nature. The benefactor is three-thirds of this person's charisma!"
"who?"
While he was talking, Shen Yuzhen also came to look for Liang Chuan. The two joined forces and formed a team made in heaven and earth, which attracted the host's admiration.
The host led the two people to the wall of the west wing, pointed to the inscription on the wall and said: "This is the person!"
Liang Chuan looked up and saw another line of large characters written on the wall. There was a sense of spontaneity and freedom between the lines. The characters were even better than Kou Zhun's!
"It's called drinking from the spring and worshiping the Buddha and leaving!"
Looking closely at the signature, Liang Chuan was shocked.
It turned out to be Ding Wei!
"Is this Master Ding's handwriting?" Liang Chuan asked.
The host responded: "Exactly, Xiao Cha was lucky enough to have two Xingxu Linfan and left behind two calligraphy treasures. In the past few years, countless literati who have passed by have come here to appreciate them!"
Shen Yuzhen said: "The world says that Kou Zhun and Ding Wei are loyal and treacherous, but looking at the magnanimity and magnanimity revealed between the lines, I think Kou Zhun is not as good as Ding Wei!"
The host's eyes lit up and he said: "Oh! Why did the female donor express her feelings?"
Shen Yuzhen said proudly: "When I heard that Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, it was Ding Wei's idea. He was originally going to be sent to Yazhou but was actually sent to Leizhou. Because Feng Zheng hesitated when Ding Wei asked Feng Zheng for his opinion. Yes, this shows that Ding Wei is not a person who wants to kill everyone."
The two of them listened in silence. Political softness was cruel to themselves. The great monk didn't understand it, and Liang Chuan knew it.
"Look between the lines, Master Kou lives here, but he is still obsessed with the elegance and power of Bianjing, and even his dejected mood is undoubtedly revealed! Master Kou was a loyal minister in his early years, but it is a pity that in order to cater to the late emperor, he also It’s really a pity that you have done such a deed of seeking enlightenment and praying to heaven!”
Shen Yuzhen talked eloquently.
"Look at this Ding Wei again."
"Letting go means letting go. Ding Wei must have seen Kou Zhun's words when he came here. He did not defend himself, let alone have any nostalgia. In front of the Buddha, he must not have dared to ask for recovery or power and wealth. The world's opinions on myself If there is something to say, I will leave without arguing, how broad-minded I am!”
Ding Wei is indeed awesome. I wrote these words just to let the world know that I have been here before and I have also read Kou Zhun’s words. I am not unhappy and I am not unwilling. It’s over!
Go to the words without taking away a cloud!
The host couldn't help but exclaimed: "The female donor's observation of the state of mind is meticulous and meticulous, and I am impressed by the details!"
Shen Yuzhen continued: "There are even more good-hearted people in the market who wrote poems and sarcastically said: If you see Leizhou Kou Sihu, you will meet again in your life! How much people in this world hope that Ding Wei will be unlucky, but in the end these good-hearted people really got it right. Ding Wei was also demoted for a day, but people can see it openly, I think in comparison, Ding Wei wins!"
The host repeatedly praised: "The female benefactor has unique insight. Countless people have visited the small temple, and they all denounced Ding for being evil and praised the bandits for being righteous. However, no one has ever seen the female benefactor being so unique. Seeing these intrigues and intrigues, they were disturbing each other in front of the Buddha. How ridiculous!”
"When a scholar came here, he saw the handwriting of the two men and was inspired by it: Ping Zhong drank the spring and looked back to the north. When he looked at it, he bowed to the Buddha and walked south. The smoke and greenery locked the door in front of him, which made the eminent monk hate his favor. The female donor and the scholar Seeing the same thing, the poor monk felt deeply."
Shen Yuzhen is a prostitute, so she naturally sees things from a different perspective. How could she judge a person based on his political likes and dislikes? She doesn't understand politics, but she understands men!
Some people crave power to an extreme.
Of course the monk has no desires and desires. Kou Zhun even came to Leizhou and was still complaining on the way. How strong this obsession is, he is indeed inferior in comparison.
The monk was very fond of the two of them because they both had a sense of detachment in them, without the smoke and mirrors of the worldly world.
The host took the two of them around the temple again and slowly told anecdotes about them.
The grudge between the two is not only the famous beard-pulling incident, Kou Zhun is also a very mean-spirited person.
Once he was sitting in a mountain pavilion and saw a group of crows flying in the sky. He blurted out: "Don't let Ding Wei see it, otherwise Ding Wei will say it's a crane again!" These slanderous words made Ding Wei extremely embarrassed in the court. , and was even called Crane Prime Minister. No wonder Ding Wei hated Kou Zhun so much!
Even though he has been promoted to prime minister, he still can't control his mouth. He doesn't know how Kou Zhun became an official.
When Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, Ding Wei issued an order that Kou Zhun was not allowed to live in official residences and could only rent private houses outside Yunnan. The local people sympathized with Kou Zhun and rented their houses to Kou Zhun.
Kou Zhun did not stay in Leizhou for a long time, only more than a year. During this year, he built water conservancy, taught farming and mulberry cultivation, and educated the villagers. The local people loved Kou Zhun very much.
Ding Wei heard that Kou Zhun rented people's houses, and fabricated some false evidence to falsely accuse Kou Zhun of robbing people's houses. It turned out that local people came out to testify for Kou Zhun, and the truth came to light.
Later, Ding Wei died and was demoted to Yazhou, where he inscribed an inscription at Ganquan Temple. Knowing that Kou Zhun was also in Leizhou, he actually offered to visit Kou Zhun to resolve the grievances between the two!
Kou Zhun heard that Ding Wei was so shameless that he took the initiative to see him. He first locked his servant in the woodshed, fearing that the servants would cause trouble and injure Ding Wei. He also prepared a steamed sheep for Ding Wei, but it was not until the two died. , Kou Zhun never saw Ding Wei again, and the grievances between the two were carried into the coffin.
Liang Chuan asked the host: "I heard that Master Ding has come to Leizhou from Yazhou, and he came here not long ago. I wonder if Master Ding has the whereabouts of Master Ding!"
The host was shocked. Liang Chuan asked about Ding Wei's whereabouts. Could it be that he wanted to visit Ding Wei. .
What is the relationship between the two? Fortunately, I just said a lot of nice things about Ding Wei, otherwise I don’t know how much trouble it would cause!
Even though he is a monk, he is still afraid of misfortune! Officials don't care whether you are a monk or not when they take action!
The host's face remained calm and he said: "There is a house in the east of the city. If you go here and ask the people nearby, they must know the whereabouts of Lord Ding!"
Liang Chuan thanked him repeatedly and took Shen Yuzhen out of Ganquan Temple and headed for Leizhou City.
"Third brother, do you want to see Ding Wei? That man has such a bad reputation, why do you want to go to him? The most unpleasant name in the world is Ding Wei, which is synonymous with bad people. Aren't you afraid?"
"Just scold me, and you won't lose any weight. But Ding Wei was kind to me back then. I can't forget that. If I forget my roots, then I will really look down on myself!"
The two entered Leizhou City. The city walls were small, the parapets were low, and there were not many residents in the city. Although it was a small seaside town, Leizhou seemed desolate and not as vibrant as Qingyuan!
Precisely because this place is dilapidated and backward, it is a good place to be demoted!
The two of them inquired many times and found out that Ding Wei was not dead yet and had a good reputation in the city. They immediately asked about it and immediately came to Ding Wei's place of residence without any delay.
