The good director looked at Zhu Yunwen and said resolutely: "No matter what conditions you offer, you can't take away the Buddha's conch hair relic! Even if the Lei Feng Pagoda is lonely and dilapidated, the poor monk will guard it until his last breath!"

Zhu Yunwen looked at the desperate abbot and said seriously: "After Sakyamuni ascended the throne, there were as many as 84,000 relics, including bone relics and bead-shaped relics. Buddhists carry relics all over the world. The mission was spread all over the world, and since then there have been relics of the Buddha. I think the relics of the Buddha in the Leifeng Pagoda were also brought by the Buddhists back then, right?"

"So what?"

Shan Dao was a little uneasy and had a cold face.

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "So, this Buddha's snail hair relic is not fixed in a certain place, a certain pagoda, or a certain temple, it can be circulated."

Shandao stared with fierceness in his eyes.

Zhu Yunwen sighed: "The Great Wisdom Theory says that if you offer Buddha's relics or even mustard seeds, the blessings will be boundless. Although I don't believe in Buddhism, my mother does. If I go out without bringing a gift back, she will be angry." Therefore, please hand over the relic."

Shandao was furious: "Don't even think about it!"

Xue Xia was about to take action immediately, but Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to stop him and smiled at Shandao: "If you don't give it to me today, what will happen to you if Seng Lusi asks you for it someday?"

Shan Dao took a deep breath, turned pale, and murmured: "Are you from the imperial court?"

Buddha has boundless power.

But that is in the Buddhist scriptures, in the faith, in the bliss of the West.

In the Central Plains, in the Ming Dynasty, the Buddha's magic power could not resist the imperial court!

Decades ago, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to put all the monks in the world into the Senglu Division. No one dared not to obey!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang believed in Buddhism and led to the prosperity of Buddhism in the Hongwu Dynasty, the Buddha only existed in temples and not in the court. As long as the court says something, a Buddha may not be a Buddha, and a monk may not be a monk!

In history, this kind of thing happened more than once. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, and Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, forming the famous incident of "three martial arts and one sect exterminating Buddhism"!

If the court wants to deal with Buddha, it is just a matter of fingertips.

If the young man in front of him is really a member of the imperial court, and if he knows the secret of Leifeng Pagoda so clearly, then he will not be able to keep the relic.

Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand, and Xue Xia handed over a security bureau token. Zhu Yunwen took it in his hand, threw it to Shan Dao, and said: "I know that it is not good to take things by force and bully others with power. But... no matter what, I They all need this Buddha’s conch hair relic.”

Shan Dao stared at the token in his hand and gritted his teeth: "The Security Bureau is so overbearing. If the emperor knew about it, how could you bear the wrath of the thunder? If you can stop fighting with force, let it go, it will be good for you and me."

Xue Xia secretly looked at Zhu Yunwen. If Shandao knew that the "robber" now was the Emperor, would he be so speechless that he would jump off the tower...

Zhu Yunwen is a guy who won't give up until he achieves his goal. He is the emperor and has supreme rights. The world belongs to me. If he wants a broken bone that even a dog can't chew, why shouldn't he give it to him...

"This relic of Buddha's snail hair is dedicated to Queen Mother Lu."

Zhu Yunwen said frankly.

Shandao finally knew that there was no room for negotiation. If the Security Bureau wants to please their superiors, they naturally have to do what they want. It is not a secret that Empress Dowager Lu believes in Buddhism and often asks eminent monks to chant sutras and pray for blessings.

"Even if it's the imperial court, I won't allow you to take away the relics!"

Shan Dao looked at Zhu Yunwen, and after a pause, he said: "If the Hangzhou magistrate acts as a guarantor and the cabinet provides security, the relics of the Buddha's snail-shaped hair can be temporarily lent to the court. When Empress Dowager Lu lives her long life, the relics of the Buddha's snail-shaped hair can be used." Return the Leifeng Pagoda! There is no other way. If you want to take it by force, then step over my body!"

Xue Xia looked at the monk in front of him with bright eyes.

Those who are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to protect them are worthy of their admiration.

However, when the imperial court wanted to take away the relics, he actually changed his concept and wanted to rent them instead. This was obviously a embarrassment.

If the imperial court takes it away, it belongs to the imperial court. Even if the Empress Dowager Lu is gone, then there is still Empress Ma. If Empress Ma is gone, then there is still...

Putting a relic in the palace will not only contaminate some Buddhist energy and blessings, but just thinking about it makes me feel at ease.

This kind of treasure has been enjoyed for decades and is about to become a family heirloom. Here, it has just been passed on to the next generation, and there is a contract saying that the thing is yours. What a big deal...

Besides, when the court wants something, there is no reason to issue an IOU.

Zhu Yunwen stared at Shandao, shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "I cannot agree to your request. What I want is to be settled. If you want to give me conditions, you are not qualified."

The good guide looked ashen, looked down at the bottom of the tower, and shouted unwillingly: "In this case, I will not be a sinner who throws away the relics!"

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and said: "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions for me, but I am qualified to negotiate conditions for you..."

"Well?"

Shandao fainted and Xue Xia was confused.

As the emperor, Zhu Yunwen could not accept the conditions imposed by others. The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty with backbone, and no matter how incompetent the emperor was, he was still a man with backbone.

It is impossible to compromise and agree to other people's conditions.

But if you take the initiative to bring it up, the nature is different...

Listen to you, listen to me, these are two properties, even if the results are similar.

Shandao didn't jump from the tower after all.

Concubine Ning vaguely heard something. When she got close to eavesdrop, the matter had been finalized. Although she didn't know what the process was, when she saw the gold-plated and pure silver Ashoka Tower, she saw the "gold" in the Ashoka Tower. When he was placed in the coffin, he was still so shocked that he could not speak.

There is really a treasure here, and it is the most precious Buddhist treasure, the Buddha's conch hair relic!

Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied, admiring the exquisite Ashoka Pagoda and the small group of relics. He said to Shandao who was unwilling to be beside him: "You don't have to pretend to be decisive. I will only take this one. As for the ones in the Heavenly Palace, Leave the relic to Leifeng Pagoda."

Shandao couldn't believe all this and asked: "How did you know that there are relics in Leifeng Pagoda? Who told you?"

News that was never rumored was actually leaked.

The other party not only knew that the relics existed, but also knew the Ashoka Tower where the relics were stored, and even knew the appearance of the Ashoka Tower!

Zhu Yunwen ordered Sun Dong to put away the Ashoka Tower carefully, and casually said to Shandao: "I've seen it in the museum..."

Shandao searched his guts, but he didn't expect that there was a museum somewhere. It seemed that there was no such place name in Ming Dynasty. Could it be that the museum is a personal name? There is no such person in history...

Concubine Ning's eyes flashed with longing, and she secretly made a note, another noun that had never appeared before...

Zhu Yunwen asked: "Leifeng Pagoda is extremely deserted. What happened?" Shan Dao was also polite. Since the other party took away his treasure, he should pay a small price and said: "Last summer there was a heavy rain. , the rainwater gathered in the West Lake in a short period of time, and some people here drowned before they had time to escape."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Leifeng Pagoda?"

The good director sighed, pointed to the collapsed house not far away, and said: "It was thunder and lightning that fell from the sky at night, and it hit the Leifeng Pagoda courtyard, causing a fire. The fire alerted the government officials to rescue them. Because all the government officials came Leifeng Pagoda caused a long delay when the people informed the government to rescue the people, which eventually led to the people being killed."

Zhu Yunwen understood, the feeling is that the fire brigade came to save your temple, and no one cared about the people. After the matter calmed down, the people died, but you only lost some houses. What does this mean?

"Which area is flooded?"

Zhu Yunwen pointed to the low-lying area in the West Lake.

The good director nodded and said: "There is another house there. There is now a house built there. There is not enough rain this year, so it has not caused any disasters. If it rains like last year, they may still have trouble."

Zhu Yunwen looked at the terrain, and ordered Xue Xia to take out a telescope, take a closer look, and finally sighed: "Once it rains heavily and water flows from all directions, even if the government sends people to rescue, I'm afraid there will be no escape." Come on, this place is not suitable for people to live at all, and West Lake is not suitable for being transformed into a mulberry field!"

Shandao was naturally aware of this, but he had no idea what to do.

"Sir, Qianhu Luo Xian from the Hangzhou Security Bureau wants to see you."

Xue Xia stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and motioned for Luo Xian to come up. Luo Xian looked at Zhu Yunwen and almost knelt down several times, but was stopped by Sun Dong on the side.

"This West Lake used to be ten miles of blue waves, but now there are only two or three miles of water left, and most of it has become a mulberry field. What's going on?"

Zhu Yunwen asked.

Seeing that he was asking about West Lake, Luo Xian replied easily: "Sir, the transformation of West Lake into agricultural mulberry fields is a political matter of the prefect's yamen. For these lake fields, the government has registered them, issued land titles, and determined them according to a whip law. tax……"

Zhu Yunwen looked a little ugly. He originally thought that the West Lake was occupied by the wealthy gentry, but he never imagined that it was protected by law and became a legal private land!

"Yu Qian has nothing new to say about this?"

Zhu Yunwen asked coldly.

Luo Xian felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but he did not dare to lie. He replied: "Prefect Yu believes that farming and mulberry farming is a good thing. In addition, the imperial court promotes the Ten Excellent Prefectures. Hangzhou Prefecture wants to be among the top ten prefectures, so it pays more attention to farming and mulberry farming. This For two years, Magistrate Yu vigorously promoted..."

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Yunwen shouted angrily.

Luo Xian knelt down and quickly begged for mercy.

Zhu Yunwen raised his head and rubbed his eyebrows. He had a headache. In order to get a place in the 'Top Ten Prefectures', these people dared to destroy the West Lake!

Development is not about unscrupulous means, nor is it about taking advantage of all the benefits!

You have destroyed the West Lake in exchange for the current profits, but you have never thought that without the West Lake, within ten years, Hangzhou will either suffer from severe floods or severe drought!

Don’t underestimate the role of West Lake. Its existence is related to Hangzhou’s underground water veins, Hangzhou’s ecology, and Hangzhou’s climate!

Xue Xia saw someone coming upstairs and ordered someone to stop him. The guard hurriedly forwarded an urgent report. After reading the words in the urgent report, Xue Xia felt a little uneasy. He quickly stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Urgent report from the capital."
