The two girls are dressed in palace clothes, Yuehua skirts, silver silk jackets, combed palace buns, elegant and generous but lively and cute, it is Ming'er who runs in front, and the little girl in the back is less than ten years old, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, although not very beautiful, but there is a very unusual elegant temperament.

Xia Xun glanced at it and didn't recognize it, after all, she was a woman in the palace, and it was not appropriate to stare at others, so she lowered her eyes. If you want to talk about courtesy, you don't have to, now he is the status of a prince, except for the emperor, empress, and prince, there is no need to salute anyone first.

"Your Majesty, Auxiliary Prince!"

Seeing them, Ming'er hurriedly stopped and blessed them, just glanced at Xia Xun's eyes ......, it really hooked the soul, but Xia Xun didn't seem to see it, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he was an old monk.

The little girl in the back also stepped forward to salute, Zhu Di smiled, waved his hand and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, Ming'er, Baoqing, didn't you learn etiquette in Shangyi Bureau, why did you sneak out?" ”

When Xia Xun heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyelids, and then looked at the little girl who was about ten years old, and said in his heart: "It turned out to be Princess Baoqing, I haven't seen her for a few years, and I haven't changed a lot, I don't recognize it." ”

As soon as she heard Zhu Di's words, Princess Baoqing said unconvinced: "Fourth brother of the emperor, it wasn't us who sneaked out, it was Mrs. Zheng, a female official of Shangyi, who had something to do at hand, and I got out of school early, and I asked Sister Ming'er to accompany me to the Emperor's Garden to play." ”

"Oh, hehe, okay, it's the fourth brother Boxi, Sister Baoqing is the most well-behaved!" Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and laughed.

His youngest sister is younger than his daughter, his eldest grandson Zhu Zhanji is now four years old, Baoqing is only ten years old, that is, he is a grandfather, and Zhu Di is barely doing it now, so he spoils this little girl very much. Although Baoqing is a child, the child is intuitive, and he can best determine who spoils her and who doesn't, and he is not afraid in front of Zhu Di.

Ming'er pursed her lips and smiled: "That's the case, my sister is about to come over from Beiping, and Mrs. Zheng and a group of female officials in the palace have to arrange to greet them, and there are more things, so there are fewer wells to teach etiquette recently." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said, "Okay, you guys go play." Baoqing doesn't have a companion in the palace, so you should accompany her more.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ming'er agreed, and glanced at Xia Xun again, Xia Xun was still looking at his nose and heart. People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Ming'er's actions, how can Xia Xun not know but what can he do? I had to pretend to be gone, and I really wanted to shave his hair and tell him to be a monk.

She took Princess Baoqing's little hand and said, "Let's go, let's go fishing." Then he ran forward and deliberately bypassed Xia Xun, Xia Xun hurriedly took a step back, and when he looked up, he saw those resentful eyes. Princess Baoqing didn't pay attention to the two of them, and happily took Ming'er's hand and ran away.

Zhu Di stroked his beard, shook his head and sighed: "Fishing? It's a shame that she figured out that all the stocks in this palace are precious fish species, and now it's going to be bad again. ”

Xia Xun couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Zhu Di said to him: "As soon as I saw Miaojin, I remembered that she was also a big boss, so she should find her an in-law." Her three sisters are all married to the prince, but my brothers, now the youngest also has a concubine, if it is a son, then it is a generation, it seems that they can only be found from the family of the princess.

You can't put aside the big thing of looking for people, and you don't have anything to do at the moment, supervising the construction of the Great Bao'en Temple, just have the opportunity to interact with the officials of various yamen, take this opportunity to help her find and find out, and see which minister's son has more outstanding character. You are Miaojin's life-saving person, and this little girl can be regarded as something you grew up watching, so you bothered to do this. ”

"Yes, I obey!"

Xia Xun responded unkindly, he didn't have a hobby of matchmaking, especially Ming'er, although he knew that there was an insurmountable gap between himself and Ming'er, and it was impossible for the two of them to be possible, but let him find a Langjun for the girl who had confided his love to him and he didn't have feelings for him, he couldn't do such a bloody thing, but the emperor ordered it down, so he had to perfunctory.

When Xia Xun left the palace, Xu Hu and the two deputy commanders were waiting for him outside the noon gate, Xia Xun saw the three of them, he was very surprised, and after asking, he knew that these three had just turned from pirates to officials who were members of the imperial court, and they didn't know what they should do next. Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard this, so he instructed them to go to the military department first, and then go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, there are some specific matters that still need to be handled, and besides, this is the highest military institution that governs them, and it is also a matter of duty to meet the officials.

After Xia Xun's guidance, Xu Hu and the three of them understood many of the rules, and the dare to worship the wharf is similar to the people in the rivers and lakes, these yamen are near the palace, but it is not difficult to find, the three of them said goodbye to Xia Xun, and went to the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to find their old husband to worship the wharf.

Xia Xun carefully inquired about the local origins among the guards, and then walked around the city of Nanjing, looked at several places in a row, and felt that it was not suitable, and finally came to Changganli.

The emperor built a shrine for his mother, and specially specified that it should be built according to the specifications of the palace, although this mainly refers to the materials and the system, it is impossible to build a temple as large as the palace, but the scale of the temple must not be small.

It is not easy to find such a large area of land in Nanjing City, and the surrounding area cannot be too desolate, this Changganli is on the bank of the Qinhuai River, which is a good place, but I don't know how big the old site of the abandoned Temple of Mercy and Grace is that the guards said.

The guards said that there was originally a huge temple here, called the Temple of Mercy and Grace, which was destroyed in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and now the temple is deserted, and there are no more intact houses, only a pagoda in the temple, which is still intact, and it is a very good place to build a big temple.

When Xia Xun rushed to Changganli with people, he could see a standing pagoda from afar, and when he got closer, he found that most of the temple was indeed dilapidated, but from the dilapidated monks' houses and collapsed temple walls, he could vaguely see how magnificent it was in the past.

Of this large number of temples, only one of the main buildings is still intact, and fortunately, there are still a few old monks still practicing here. Xia Xun asked the guards to wait outside, and only brought two personal soldiers to the temple. There are not a few people in the temple, the host himself is also a guest monk, Xia Xun gave some sesame oil money, and the old monk was so happy that he immediately offered him as a guest and invited him into the meditation room to entertain guests.

Xia Xun talked with the old monk, only to know that this Tianxi Temple was originally called Changgan Temple, the Song Dynasty was renamed Tianxi Temple by the imperial court, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to the Temple of Mercy and Grace by the imperial court, this temple was built in the Jiwu period, and the pagoda in the temple that was kept intact was called Ashoka Pagoda. When the monks were first in Jiangnan Hongfa, it was in this temple that Buddhism began to spread in Jiangnan since then, so this temple can be called the beginning of Jiangnan Buddhist Temple.

Xia Xun listened very carefully, and he knew very well how successful this matter was, and how significant it was. Just like Li Jinglong, Ru Chang, and Xie Jinxiu's "Taizu Record", if you look at it from a modern point of view, isn't it just repairing books? What's so great about repairing a book, there is no benefit, nor is it military power or political power. But in that era, this was the most important political activity, and if you were not the emperor's most trusted and capable person, you would not be able to grab such an errand.

In return, he also had to report to the emperor on the location of the site, which was decided by the emperor, and of course he had to make the most adequate preparations for all aspects of the site he chose.

It wasn't until sunset that the old monk's Longmen array was finished, and Xia Xun had the most detailed understanding of the situation here, so he said goodbye and returned to his mansion.

"Changgan Temple has a long history, the ancestor of the rise of Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, the old site of the temple is also large enough, the circumference is nine miles, such a large place, it is enough to build a small city, and it should also meet the requirements of the emperor.

Well...... "I'll think about it carefully tonight, and report the information to the emperor tomorrow, once the address is determined, you have to ask the Ministry of Engineering to plan the drawings, and build it in accordance with the specifications of the palace, this project is not small, and all aspects must be considered Zhou Xiang, in fact, this is to build a shrine for the emperor's mother, but there can be no mistakes......."

Xia Xun pondered as he walked into the mansion. There were only a few families sent by the king to wait in this house, and after his family moved in, all the people in the house were evacuated, and the house seemed particularly deserted for a while.

When he arrived at the door of the flower hall, Xia Xun glanced inside, there was no one empty, he turned around and walked towards the back house, just walked two steps, suddenly heard a faint sound in the flower hall, Xia Xun turned back again, walked into the flower hall and looked, he saw a chair in the corner of the window, and a stool was placed on the chair, and there was a girl on tiptoe on tiptoe wiping the top of the window lattice with a rag.

Xia Xun subconsciously lightened his steps, walked to the window and looked up, although he only saw the back, he had recognized that the girl was Xiao Di, Xiao Di was probably working hot, took off his coat, only wore a tender yellow middle single, tied a light green skirt, standing on high place, tiptoeing, it was really not dangerous.

However, a person who is happy by nature has his own happiness in everything he does. Xiao Di rubbed the window lattice with great interest, humming a song in her mouth, it was dangerous enough to step on such a high level, and when she sang happily, she also twisted her little fart.

The more Xia Xun looked at it, the amier it became, and couldn't help but say, "It's dark, what are you cleaning the windows?" ”

Xiao Di was enjoying herself, and she was scared by someone talking, and with a scream, she fell off the stool and...
