Everything in Chang'an City spread quickly, no, the matter of the manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Lingyin Temple spread throughout Chang'an in a few days, from the top officials and dignitaries, to the flowers on the side of the street.

Even Emperor Chengping heard about this in the palace, and asked the chief eunuch Liu Rui, Liu Rui also went out to inquire in person, and when he came back, he reported to Emperor Chengping: "Lingyin Temple does have a Bodhisattva's manifestation, but many people are bowing these days, and it is strange to say, the more the people bow, the more the Bodhisattva is ...... The faster it comes out. ”

It turned out that one night in the Lingyin Temple, a loud noise was heard, which woke up the sleeping monks, and then the monks went out to inspect, but saw a certain place in the backyard by the moonlight, and came closer to see, a piece of jade was drilling out of the soil, but the monks were frightened, and immediately reported to the abbot, the abbot did not speak, and asked the monks to enclose this place, and no one went to disturb here.

After a day, the jade grew a lot, everyone looked over, it turned out to be a jade carved Bodhisattva is arching out from the soil little by little, the abbot saw the Buddha when he saw it, and only said that the Bodhisattva had appeared.

After he said this, the monks also bowed down very sincerely.

Subsequently, because the Bodhisattva grew out day by day, the people nearby also knew, so one spread two, two passed three, three spread hundreds, and it didn't take long for the entire Chang'an City to spread wildly.

After listening to Liu Rui's words, Emperor Chengping smiled and waved his hand: "Call people to pay attention first, and then report back to me immediately if there is any situation." ”

Liu Rui agreed, and after going out, he arranged the candidates.

On this day, Liu Rui suddenly hurried in from outside, holding a box in both hands and sending it to Emperor Chengping, and said: "Your Majesty, the Bodhisattva of Lingyin Temple has grown more than half of it today, this Bodhisattva is very strange, there is no fish basket and no jade bottle, and he is holding a box in both hands." ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chengping was also curious, took the box and looked at it to see if it was not opened.

Liu Rui stepped forward to take the box and opened it carefully, and touched the contents with his hand. After confirming that there was nothing to do, he dedicated it to Emperor Chengping.

Emperor Chengping saw that there was a three-way wheat tree and a four-way rice tree in it, and he picked it up and looked at it: "What is this?" Wheat rice? What do you mean? ”

Liu Rui glanced at it, and said with a smile in his eyes: "This must be the Bodhisattva suing sùmajesty." This year is bound to be smooth and rainy, and it will definitely be a bumper harvest year. ”

This can also be explained, the jade bodhisattva holding wheat and rice in his hands does not mean that the people have enough food and clothing.

Emperor Chengping also thought the same thing, and Deng Shi became happy: "Good, good." As long as the people are rich, this is a good thing, a good thing. ”

While he was talking, Xiao Weizi, the little eunuch of Zichen Palace, hurriedly ran over and whispered at the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, suddenly there are many ants crawling on the ground in the backyard of Lingyin Temple, and the ants form a few words on the ground, saying what Bodhisattva Xianrui, Nengchen is coming to the world and so on." ”

"What?" Emperor Chengping didn't care about anything else. When he called Xiao Weizi in, he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Xiao Weizi replied carefully, it turned out that the box in the Bodhisattva's hand was taken away, and after a while, I didn't know where to crawl many big ants, these ants crawled very regularly, and after crawling to the ground, they formed a number of words, which roughly means that there is a capable minister who rules the world, and this capable minister is still a famous general.

Emperor Chengping pondered for a while after hearing this, looked at Liu Rui and asked, "What other strange things have happened in Chang'an City recently?" ”

Liu Rui thought for a long time before shaking his head: "No, not at all." ”

"That's weird. Where did the ministers come from? "Emperor Chengping couldn't figure it out for a while.

Xiao Weizi looked up at Liu Rui cautiously, and then looked at Emperor Chengping: "Slave, the slave has some careful thoughts and doesn't know whether to talk about it." ”

"Speak." Emperor Chengping raised his hand and motioned for Xiao Weizi to hurry up.

Xiao Weizi was nervous for a while. He snorted and said: "I can't find the minister who governs the world, my majesty forgot that this year is the year of Dabi, the results of the previous exam have already come out, think about it, this minister must have been admitted to the exam, and your majesty asked the bachelor of Xiaofang to ask if you know." ”

Liu Rui was also overjoyed when he heard it. patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Ah, your majesty just needs to look for the jinshi in this year's new examination and see which one is after the famous general." ”

Speaking of this, he thought hard: "There are not many famous generals who can leave their names in history since ancient times, and it should not be difficult to find them." ”

Emperor Chengping nodded after hearing this, turned around and sat behind the imperial case, just saw a history book on the table, took it and turned two pages: "If you talk about famous generals, which famous general can compare to King Jingning of Great Qi since ancient times, but unfortunately, King Jingning has no descendants......

Seeing this, Liu Rui hurriedly squeezed a smile, and said carefully: "Not necessarily, according to the foolish opinion of the slaves, it is impossible for a hero like King Jingning to have no descendants, but others don't know. ”

"If only there were really a descendant of King Jingning, I would treat him well." Emperor Chengping sighed: "That kind of hero, his descendants must not be bad, I regret that I have never seen the demeanor of King Jingning, if I can see his descendants, I can't say that I can also see one or two." ”

His words made Liu Rui and Xiao Weizi dare not say anything more.

Emperor Chengping sighed for a while, waved his hand and asked Liu Rui and Xiao Weizi to go out, he An Ansheng approved the fold for a while, and after the approval, he thought of the Bodhisattva and the ant Xianrui, and his heart was also complicated, so he asked someone to pass on Xiao Fang's bachelor to enter the palace to speak.

Xiao Fang bachelor is known for his literary talents, and he paints a good painting, he is very favored in front of Emperor Chengping, he is a good person, he came to Zichen Palace and talked about paintings with Emperor Chengping is extremely speculative, and after a while, Emperor Chengping was in a much better mood.

After Emperor Chengping talked about painting for a while, he asked Bachelor Xiao Fang: "What are the amazing and brilliant characters of this year's new science and technology Jinshi?" ”

As soon as he asked, Xiao Fang hurriedly recalled, and said with a smile after a while: "It's a shame that Your Majesty asked, otherwise the ministers will forget it, speaking of which, this year's Huiyuan is outstanding, the poems are well written, and the strategies are also well written. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Chengping paid attention: "Where is the person in Xinhuiyuan this year, and who is the surname?" ”

Xiao Fang said with a smile: "The person of Zhenting Mansion, surnamed Qi has a single name and a Jing character, he is not just Huiyuan, it should be regarded as five yuan in a row, if you get the middle point as the champion in the palace test, it is six yuan in a row, which is a rare thing for the ages, and it is also my Great Zhou Dynasty to meet such a British lord as His Majesty, otherwise, where is there such a strange thing." ”

"Qi Jing?" As soon as Emperor Chengping heard this name, Qi Jing's black face couldn't help flashing in his mind, and his heart was tired, and he heard Xiao Fang say that Qi Jing was even five yuan, so he wanted to say that the champion would never be able to hit such a person, but when he thought of the name of six yuan in that company, Emperor Chengping was also very moved.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has been founded for so many years, but there is no such thing as the six yuan, not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the former dynasty, the former dynasty has no such strange things, if he can have a six-yuan jinshi during his reign, it will definitely go down in history, and the history books will have to make a note for him, I don't know how much brilliance will be added.

Thinking about it like this, Emperor Chengping couldn't say anything disgusted, even if he didn't like Qi Jing, he could only swallow his anger, thinking that he had to be the champion in the palace test.

Xiao Fang didn't know what Emperor Chengping was thinking, and when he asked about Qi Jing, he smiled with his hand: "Yes, it's called Qi Jing, it's also quite interesting to say, the previous minister also thought he was a person from Zhenting Mansion, who knew that a few days ago he visited the minister's mansion, and talked about his origin during the banquet, and he said that his ancestral home was not Zhenting Mansion, but Pingyao." ”

"Pingyao?" Emperor Chengping was very fond of King Jingning, and when he heard the word Pingyao, he instantly thought of the Pingyao Qi family: "But the Pingyao Qi family? ”

Xiao Fang nodded: "Exactly, he said that his ancestor moved from Pingyao to Zhenting Mansion, and he has not returned to Pingyao for so many years, but I heard that his grandfather once inadvertently mentioned it, as if he was the queen of King Jingning......"

Before Xiao Fang's words were finished, Emperor Chengping stood up instantly and asked excitedly, "After King Jingning?" But really? Does he have any proof? ”

At this moment, Emperor Chengping not only thought about the descendants of King Jingning, but also thought about the affairs of governing the ministers and ministers, and couldn't help but guess, isn't this Qi Jing the capable minister pointed out by the Bodhisattva?

The more he thought about it, the more sure Emperor Chengping was, the more excited his face became.

Xiao Fang said while thinking about it: "The minister thought about it and asked him if he had any evidence, but he really took out two things, one is the wind chime ball made by Princess Ping of Jingning earlier, and the other is the military book written by King Jingning." ”

"Wind chimes, military books, military books......" Emperor Chengping slapped the table: "Fang Aiqing, you should go out of the palace to Qi's house now, and ask me to come to see the wind chimes and military books." ”

Bachelor Xiao Fang was taken aback, and then hurriedly bowed down and said, "Honorable Minister." ”

Farewell to Emperor Chengping, Xiao Fang went out of the palace, and hurried to the Qi family, when he looked for Qi Jing to ask for the military book, he saw Xie Dingguo sitting in the Qi family hall, holding a tattered military book in his hand and reading it with relish, and praised while reading: "Wonderful, wonderful, this is good, this plan is wonderful, why can't I think of it." ”

"This is ......" Qi Jing pointed at Xie Dingguo and asked Qi Jing, Qi Jing smiled bitterly: "Dingguo came to visit today, when he met his father, he happened to meet his father while the sun was drying books, he was fascinated when he saw this military book, you see, I haven't moved for more than an hour, and I can't take care of eating, I'm worried about it." ”

"What kind of military book can make the Xie family kid so engrossed?" Bachelor Xiao Fang smiled and glanced at it, and stayed on the spot at this glance, and then shouted: "Evil, evil, Xie family boy, hurry up and give me the military book, this book is really bad for you to see, it's bad." ”

His shout frightened Xie Dingguo, and his hands fell to the ground with a shudder.

Xiao Fang was completely anxious, stretched out his hand to fish, and only after a big fall did he catch the book, holding it in his hand as carefully as holding a priceless treasure: "This is written by King Jingning, God knows how precious it is, you treat it like this." (To be continued.) )
