Chapter 208: Zhu Houxi's Weakness
Zhu Yunming came to meet these Xinxue people, and they were both literati, so they had a good chat. At noon, Zhu Yunming also ordered a few dishes and continued to talk with them.
"Princess, do you know how many Buddhist temples there are in this West Mountain area?"
Qian Dehong twisted his beard and thought: "I have heard people say that the prosperity of Buddhism is better than that of the two capitals, and the prosperity of Shuntian is better than Nanjing." There are about dozens of temples in Nanjing, but there will never be more than 100 in this capital, right? ”
Zhu Yunming smiled, waved his hand again and again, and his fan-like fingers kept swaying. Everyone was stunned, what does this mean?
Wang Gen asked curiously: "Isn't there as many as five hundred?" ”
When the words came out, the old man was also surprised.
There is a poem called the 480 Temple of the Southern Dynasty...... It is said that during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished and consumed countless social wealth, and there were 480 temples in the south of the Yangtze River, which is already a very astonishing number.
Can the western mountains of the capital surpass the Southern Dynasty of the past? It's impossible to think about it!
"More than 570 to be exact!"
Zhu Yunming didn't sell the guanzi, but directly had a showdown with the big guy.
In the area of Wanping West Mountain, there are almost 600 temples, one by one, which is denser than the shops in the capital. Although most of these temples are small in size, there are many temples that are resplendent in gold and have countless farmlands.
There are so many temples, and there are tens of thousands of monks.
"In the past, I only knew that there were thousands of officials in the capital, 100,000 Beijing camps, and many nobles, but after I took over the county, I knew that there were nearly 100,000 monks in the capital. These people do not produce, but live by begging for incense all day long. In the past, I used to talk to the monks in the temple about the Dharma, and when I talked about the pleasant place, I was relaxed and fascinated. ”
"It's just that I never expected that this time I became a parent official, I would have to face the monks of the temple...... It's a bit of a dilemma! ”
Zhu Yunming poured a glass of wine into his stomach and fell silent, and the rest of the people also sighed. For most gentry and Confucianism, Buddhism was not exclusive.
Just like Su Shi, didn't he also make a good friend of Buddha Yin!
But the Dharma is so profound that it can't be used to cook rice to fill your stomach.
After a long time, Wang Gen said slowly: "I wish the old man the question of the lord. It's just that a few days ago, Lord Wang gave us a question, which made the old man have an insight. ”
"Shouldn't we be ashamed that those of us keep talking about the people's livelihood, but we can't even figure out how those money lenders squeeze the people?"
"This is true of interest, and so is the matter of Buddhist temples. So the old man thinks that he still has to have a clear conscience! In order to run a school, we must move forward, if I wish the adults are willing, we are willing to help lobby and destroy the Xishan Buddhist Temple! ”
Zhu Yunming thought so, he laughed, "With your support, I am not afraid of what thousands of people will point out and leave a stench for 10,000 years!" ”
"Come, let's float!"
……
As the time entered September, Zhu Houxi ended his filial piety for the emperor's grandmother, and the wedding entered the substantive stage.
Empress Dowager Chiang was finally persuaded by her son to agree to marry the daughter of a martial artist.
It's just that it seems that since the Great Rites Discussion, no one has been able to force Zhu Houxi to bow his head. Not even his own mother. In Zhu Houxi's words, I am the Son of Heaven, in the final analysis, I have to be the home of the Ming Dynasty!
Trying to snatch my authority is wishful thinking!
The majesty that belonged to the emperor had been established.
Not surprisingly, just waiting for Zhu Houxi's wedding, no one dares to describe him as a "little emperor" anymore, we are upright gentlemen.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed, the old minister shouldn't have said much, but recently I heard a piece of news, and I didn't dare not say it."
After Jiang Mian reported government affairs to Zhu Houxi, he chatted with Zhu Houxi.
His situation and Yang Tinghe's situation is very different. Yang Tinghe monopolized the vote to be powerful.
He had to ask about all government affairs first, and then send them to the celebrant for approval.
Basically, except for the fundamental matters such as the Great Rites Discussion, Yang Tinghe basically has the final say.
But Jiang Mian does not have this prestige, after he votes, he will come to meet the Son of Heaven, pick up important government affairs, and tell His Majesty to ask His Majesty for approval.
Of course, this also has something to do with Zhu Houxi's suppression of the inner court.
Now the power of the inner court to approve the red is basically a virtual reality, and Zhu Houxi is diligent and diligent, fulfilling the duties of the Son of Heaven.
"Ge Lao, if you have anything, just say it."
Jiang Mian sighed and said: "Your Majesty, that's the case, the old minister heard that someone has been digging in the West Mountain recently, and the people in the mountain say that many deep pits have been added. This West Mountain is so close to the capital, it is a matter of dragon vein...... Now it is the time of His Majesty's wedding, in case there is something inconvenient, the old minister is afraid that it will be bad for the heavenly family. ”
Zhu Houxi didn't believe it else, but when it came to feng shui luck, he immediately came to the spirit.
"Go, get the map."
Huang Jin hurriedly handed over the map of the capital to Zhu Houxi.
The Emperor lay on it, looking carefully,
Xishan is in Wanping County, and the location is very eye-catching.
"Elder Ge, there are a lot of temples here?"
Jiang Mian said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, it is precisely because of the many temples and the extremely prosperous incense that the common people say that there is a spirit in the West Mountain and protects the capital." It seems that it is easy to say everywhere else, but if the feng shui here is moved, things will be in trouble. ”
Zhu Houxi pondered for a while, the West is gold, and if there is an accident, it may indeed bring disaster to the soldiers.
Who is so bold?
Dare to toss in the West Mountain?
"Elder Ge, I am not mistaken, the newly appointed Wanping Zhixian is called Zhu Yunming, right?"
"It's indeed him, this person is rarely famous, but he has tried and failed, and he has no choice but to become an official. When he entered Beijing last year, he was appreciated by the officials and was promoted to Wanping County. ”
Zhu Houxi frowned, Zhu Yunming is a person who is a little rich and noble. It stands to reason that Wang Yue should be given this face.
But when it comes to feng shui, Zhu Houxi doesn't dare to be sloppy.
Xiao Fugui is too, why don't you care about such a big thing?
"Go, call Wang Yue to me."
After Zhu Houxi finished speaking, he remembered again, "Then bring me the people from Qin Tianjian as well." ”
Wang Yue was far away, and when he arrived, the junior officials of Qin Tianjian were already talking.
"Your Majesty, the West Mountain is where the dragon vein of the capital is located, and the Yuquan Mountain is also in the northwest, and the water vein comes from the west to nourish the people of the capital. If the feng shui of Jingxi is moved, it will inevitably attract changes in the sky. ”
"Heaven changing?"
Zhu Houxi was shocked, "How do you know?" ”
"Your Majesty, according to Qin Tianjian's calculations, there will be a tengu eclipse in a few days...... If Your Majesty doesn't rescue immediately, I'm afraid it will happen on the day of the Son of Heaven's wedding! ”
"Ahh
This time, Zhu Houxi was completely dumbfounded...... On the day of his wedding, there was a tengu eating day...... That's a fart marriage! The emperor's face changed color, and everything was in Jiang Mian's eyes.
Other tricks don't work, I can only play evil, I hope I can get back a game!
