In the afternoon, the Daming Palace contains a cool hall.

Here is on the south side of the lake, facing the water on three sides, and there are hydraulic fans around it, constantly sending air into the temple, and using a mechanism to send water to the roof, forming a water curtain at the eaves to achieve the effect of cooling.

This was the summer residence of the emperor, and the lectures on the three religions were being held at this time.

The emperor also arrived and ascended to the throne, and the seat below was full of people.

These people are divided into three parts, one part is the court officials, and there are two leaders, one is the doctor of Zuo Zhiyi, the bachelor of Hongwenguan, and Li Yisun, the judge of the hall, and the other is Yang Hangong in the matter.

The other part is a Taoist priest, the head is Cao Yongzhi, and next to him sits the Xunyang princess Li Feizhen.

Finally, there are monks, and in the middle is the first seat of the three sects, Zhixuan, as well as the right street Qianfu Temple and others.

Originally, there should be Qinglong Temple Yoshima, but this high monk has not returned since his trip the day before.

Guo Hong was invited by the emperor to participate, but when he came to the palace, he found that there was no seat for him here, so he could only stand in the corner of the hall and watch.

Soon I saw Lu Zhizhen and Cao Shouzhen in the crowd of Taoist priests, and there were some female crowns beside Princess Xunyang, including Jiao Fengming.

Zhixuan was the mastermind of Yang Qinyi, the Flying Dragon Envoy, and was named the head of the Three Sects at this time, and he was making a long discussion about the emperor.

This three teachings refers to the three Tibetan scriptures, and the first seat of the three teachings is not the administrator of the three teachings or the first of the three teachings, but the meaning of the head of Buddhism.

Guo Hong didn't understand why they used the same word, which was easily misunderstood.

"Since it is difficult to come to the Changfa, the country is in turmoil, and the rebellion of Luze is the Buddha's warning to the world...... Now it is time to put the chaos in order, and the minister thinks that it is better to rebuild the temple when it is abandoned today. ”

Zhixuan talked eloquently, and the Buddhist gate and the court officials nodded yes one after another, and the Daomen side was silent.

"It took a lot of money to rebuild the abandoned temple, and now that the country is financially struggling, and it is necessary to recover the land of Sanzhou, where can I get this money?" The head of the household department and the judge branch Cui Guicong were in charge of the national finance, and at this time they were also sitting next to the emperor in the palace, so they asked.

Zhixuan smiled slightly and said: "This matter is very easy, it can make all the abandoned temples in various places prepare for their own construction, and turn their fortunes into good faith in the world." ”

Cui Gu never intended to be embarrassed, and he heard that he didn't need the state to pay for it, so he even claimed to be good.

Pei Xiu, the household attendant beside him, also said: "Nowadays, Zen Buddhism cultivates its own cultivation, lives in a settlement, and does not build a large hall, which can be used as an example for all the sects in the world." In such a country, Buddhism does not need to waste a penny, and Buddhism will prosper, which will inevitably bless my Tang world! ”

Zhixuan also said: "What Pei Shilang said is that since the martyrdom of my Buddhism, I have also been deeply introspective, practiced frugality, and no longer extravagant, and asked the saint to be merciful and reduce the believers' rent a little." ”

When the emperor heard this, he nodded and said: "Originally, the new land would be rent-free for three years, and I would give preferential treatment to the abandoned temples in the world, so as to prosper the Great Buddha Gate!" ”

So the topic of the revival of the abandoned temple came to an end, and the Buddhism got the results they wanted, and naturally the crowd was excited.

The following is the Buddha Confucianism and Taoism selected outstanding people to open the altar to preach, and then compete, evaluate the strongest mouth king, award the honorary title of "Three Teachings Talk", and arrange the candidates for the emperor's Shouchang Festival.

Taoist priests, monks, and court officials stood up one after another, gathered into three groups, and consulted with each other.

Guo Hong took the opportunity to walk to the Taoist priest and found Lu Zhizhen and Cao Shouzhen among the people.

The two senior brothers knew what he was like now.

"Did you bring anything in?" Guo Hong asked Cao Shouzhen in a low voice.

"At Senior Sister Jiao's."

Jiao Fengming also turned around and took out a small bag from his arms, Guo Hong received it in his sleeve like lightning, and the people next to him didn't notice it.

"Hands are so fast!" Jiao Fengming whispered.

"Methodologically

I've taught it to my senior sister, and I still need to practice more! ”

Jiao Fengming shook his head and said: "After practicing for a while, I haven't made much progress, it doesn't seem to be suitable for me." ”

Guo Hong got in touch with the outside of the palace, and at the same time got the props needed for the practice.

Taoism is similar to later magic, but there are also differences.

The most peculiar thing is the escape technique, magic generally needs props to cover it, in order to become a living person, and some escape techniques can only use clouds and water vapor, or simply do nothing!

It was transmitted to Japan after the escape and was the source of ninjutsu.

Yizhen was talked about two years ago, when it was the first year of Dazhong, and many monasteries had not yet been restored, and now he is no longer ranked among the senior monks in Chang'an.

Since he didn't come, naturally someone played.

The eminent monk's debate won the first place in this debate, and Guo Hong had to admit that the monks were very strong in debate, especially Zen Buddhism, and were good at sophistry.

Guo Hong also saw Shi Chongqian, who had fought with him in the Great Ci'en Temple, and together with his senior brother Shi Che, he served around Zhixuan.

Of course, it was impossible for him to recognize Guo Hong because of his disguise.

The emperor gave purple to more than a dozen monks, and because he advocated the revival of the temple because of the knowledge of Xuan, he ordered the painter to paint a portrait for him and hang it in the hall.

It's a privilege.

After the bickering began, Jiao Fengming and Guo Hong sneaked out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

There is a forbidden army guarding the distance outside the Hanliang Palace, which is already in the concubine's dormitory, and outsiders are not allowed to move around at will.

However, you can still walk around the perimeter of Hanliang Hall.

Jiao Fengming couldn't help but snicker since he knew that Guo Hong had become what he is now.

Guo Hong didn't see her for a few days, and he missed her very much.

When the first love was inseparable, the two walked hand in hand to the shade and flowers by the water, there was no one else nearby, Guo Hong didn't know what to say for a while, so he said: "It's really hot!" ”

Jiao Fengming looked around, and when he saw that no one was noticing, he whispered: "There is no news from my junior brother entering the palace these days, and I am so worried about it." ”

Guo Hong nodded: "Me too, I think of my senior sister every night, and I can't sleep." ”

The two snuggled together, even if someone nearby saw it, they didn't think there was anything abnormal, there were many things about this kind of little eunuch in the palace eating with palace maids and female crowns, how did the emperor see it, as long as it was not his own concubine, maybe he would reward them for marriage.

Jiao Fengming asked at this time: "Senior brother, how are things going in the palace?" ”

Guo Hong looked around and said, "There are some clues, I think of some past events, do you know who the first emperor's most trusted generals are?" ”

Jiao Fengming thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "My father? ”

Guo Hong patted his head and immediately remembered, isn't it Shi Xiong?

The last batch of treasures should be Pai Shixiong hidden in the river, he was the envoy of the river festival at that time, that's right.

"Senior sister, you go out of the palace to help me ask my uncle, whether the first emperor asked him to hide a batch of things, and you said that the people of the Guo family are now ready to use it."

Jiao Fengming nodded again, if the junior brother had any request, she would naturally obey it.

The two lingered for a while before returning to the Hanliang Palace.

At this time, the discourse of the Three Religions was coming to an end, and the Daomen were rarely able to outperform the Buddhists in debate, and the monks were always able to say that the white horse was not a horse, and it made the listeners feel justified.

In previous years, the Daomen performed the Taoism at the Shouchang Festival Festival in two days to win back a city.

Guo Hong hid among Jiao Fengming and others, and said a few words to his wife, Princess Xunyang, surrounded by people, and did not talk deeply, so he could only give up after a few simple words.

At the end of the lecture on the three religions, the three groups of Buddhas, Confucians, and Taoists knelt down to bow to the emperor and left one after another.

The emperor returned to the apse of the dormitory, but summoned Guo Hong.

"Listening to the Fa today, can I get anything?"

Guo Hong saluted and said: "The three teachings are profound, and all the great virtues speak wildly, so I am only shallow in my learning, and I can't hear anything famous." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I will allow you to go to the inner school to listen to the lectures, and listen and watch as much as I want to broaden your knowledge." ”

Wang Yuanyou, the privy envoy next to him, said: "It is a great grace to listen to the driver, and I am not happy to thank you." ”

Guo Hong hurriedly knelt down to bow to Xie En, with an indescribable greasy taste in his heart, but the mask on his face was not visible at all.

The emperor nodded secretly, this son is not shocked, this concentration is indeed rare.

Guo Hong moved again, this time to live in Dongnei Children's Square.

This is within the palace walls of Daming Palace, next to the pavilion hall and the bow field where you watched polo the day before yesterday.

When Guo Hong moved away, Li Wei was very reluctant and refused to let him go, until he promised to go back to see him when he was free.

Xiaoerfang, which covers a large area, is equivalent to a small-scale Lifang in Chang'an City, where more than 3,000 low-grade and white-bodied eunuchs live.

These people have no family, and it can be said that they are far from the situation of high-grade eunuchs with a large number of wives and concubines, and a lot of adopted sons and daughters.

Guo Hong is now the chief physician of the Provincial Medicine Bureau in Dianzhong under the eighth grade, and he also serves in the Internal Maintenance Bureau, so it can be said that he has a higher status among the low-grade eunuchs, so the allocated houses are also the best batch.

Originally, Xiaoerfang also arranged for someone to wait, but Guo Hong didn't want people to know about many things, such as the props of the method, and he was not a eunuch at all, so he politely refused this kind of trouble.

The house is big and has a yard, more than enough for five or six people.

Generally, there will be three or five entourage slaves and maids in the eighth grade, and it is very rare for Guo Hong to live alone.

His mind is not on this at all, who knows how many days he will stay in the palace?

Get the clues left by the Empress Dowager, and you can slip away with another big thing.

Today is the first day of driving, and Wang Zongshi came over early in the morning and asked him to go with him.

Qiu Wenyi of the former dynasty was killed by mistake.

In the morning, the children's workshop was very lively, full of eunuchs on duty in the palace, in groups, each with a partner.

Guo Hong followed Wang Zongshi, chatted a few words on the road, and walked towards the inner palace through the side doors on both sides of the main hall.

No matter how powerful the eunuchs are, if they don't follow the emperor's concubines, they can't go to the main gate and the main hall.

Soon came to the outside of the Xuanzheng Palace, which is the middle hall of the Daming Palace, where the emperor's daily court meeting is ascended.

Guo Hong saw the other five internal guards and Wang Guichang and others, and to his surprise, Yang Fugong was also here.

"Gorou is there too." Guo Hong whispered hello.

"Don't speak." Yang Fugong reminded in a low voice with a smile on his face.

After they arrived, they followed the two privy envoys inside, bypassed the main hall, and went straight to the Penglai Hall of the emperor's bedroom.

In the summer, the emperor of Dazhong generally takes refuge in the Hanliang Hall during the day, and if the concubines are not fortunate at night, they will return to the Penglai Hall to rest.

Penglai Hall is not far behind the North Hall Zichen Hall of the three major halls, and it is convenient to get up early the next day to go to court when you rest here.

Everyone entered the Penglai Hall in turn and stood on both sides, no one spoke, and no one saluted, as if they were transparent people.

All the eunuchs are slaves of the Son of Heaven, and they generally don't need to salute, only the privy envoy comes in and bows slightly, and the emperor just nods.

The emperor had already gotten up and finished breakfast, and was wearing a dragon robe under the palace maids.

Guo Hong stood quietly at this time, secretly examining the emperor with his spare light.
