Since the beginning of the Southern Qi Dynasty, from the kings and nobles to the common people, they all believe in Buddhism.

Therefore, monks who preach sutras and chant are highly valued.

And with the development of politics, economy, and culture, the king also paid more and more attention to Buddhism, and Chen Xian repeatedly ordered the construction of temples for more monks to practice!

In addition to the main temple with a long history in Jiming Temple, the official family has built more than 100 large and small temples in various places.

Because everyone in the world learns Buddhism, they kill less and treat things kindly!

The Buddhist doctrine of reincarnation is convinced that everyone is striving to do good deeds, and the king also prays for the peace of the country and the people.

Even if it is not the first day of the new month or the fifteenth day of the month, the people who go to various temples to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the people who pray for God to repay their vows are also endless, almost in a shadow.

The pilgrims in the major temples were not stingy and generously donated money, and the temples were built by the imperial court, and part of the incense money was naturally used for the country's use!

In this way, kill two birds with one stone!

It not only guides the people to be good, but also collects donations, either to consolidate the frontier, or to help the victims!

Above the court, all the ministers sang praises to Chen Xian!

"Your Majesty's move is really far-sighted! Your Majesty is not only for the sake of the people, but also for the sake of virtue and goodness!" Shang Shutai is humane.

"Now the people are full of praise for Your Majesty! The so-called 'to determine the world must win the hearts of the people, Your Majesty has already firmly grasped the hearts of the people!" The book is humane.

"So very good, the widow is ready to go to the Jiming Temple to bathe and fast for seven days, and come to experience the Dharma in person, I don't know if any of you Aiqing is willing to go with the widow?!"

Chen Xian knew that the ministers were all praising virtue to themselves, and they were patting their ass!

What he cares about is being able to keep the people's minds in his own hands, and beware of rebellious ministers and thieves like Zhu Rong and Xiao Wen, as well as princes and ministers who have hidden their rebellious hearts, so as to get rid of their indignation.

Then he set an example and ordered the princes and ministers to follow him to Jiming Temple to bathe and fast for seven days, listen to the monks preach the scriptures, and pray for the blessings of the people.

When the courtiers heard this, they all thought in their hearts, and the emperor took the initiative to go, so how could he not follow it?

Li Dazai took the lead and said: "The minister is willing to go with His Majesty to Jiming Temple to pray for blessings and fasting!"

So everyone else also chimed in, saying, "I am willing to go with Your Majesty!"

Chen Xian nodded, looked at the courtiers and smiled: "That's very good!" Tomorrow is the time to go!"

The emperor wants to go to Jiming Temple to pray for blessings, and the palace is ready up and down, some follow to serve, some follow to send things, and some want to take the opportunity to go out of the palace to see the excitement.

The palace maids and eunuchs were eager to follow the emperor out of the palace to Jiming Temple.

Chun'an personally selected more than 20 shrewd and capable little eunuchs, and seven or eight little palace maids with quick hands and feet, and Chen Xian brought the forbidden army in the palace.

The Royal Guard of Honour set off on the second day.

The emperor was not in the palace, so he asked Lu Yan to stay in charge of the government, and Xiao Mingyue stayed in the palace because it was inconvenient to go with Chen Xian.

In the Mingyue Building, Xiao Mingyue was taking a nap in the inner room of the dormitory, and Cai Wei and Qingwen embroidered flowers to pass the time.

Cai Wei complained to Qingwen: "Your Majesty has come to our Mingyue Tower more often than before, and now I go to Jiming Temple to pray for blessings without bringing the county lord!" Really!"

Qingwen replied: "I can't say that, Your Majesty took the civil and military officials to chant and pray for blessings, and our county lord went, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient!"

Ah Cha on the side ran over to the two and said, "I heard what you guys are talking about!"

Cai Wei smiled and touched Ah Cha's head and said, "Ah Cha, is it okay to go out obediently?" Didn't you make an agreement with the little prince to kick the shuttlecock together today?!"

"The little prince was taken by His Majesty to Jiming Temple! I won't be back until seven days later!" Ah Cha said with a pout.

Qingwen looked at Ah Cha with a lost face and said, "Then I'll make you hibiscus cake, okay?!"

Ah Cha was unmoved when she heard this, and turned her face to still miss the little prince.

"And zongzi candy, you don't want to eat it either?!" Cai Wei asked with a smile.

As soon as she heard the zongzi candy, Ah Cha suddenly turned her head, looked at Cai Wei and asked, "Do you really make zongzi candy for me?!"

Cai Wei said: "As long as you are obedient and don't make trouble, I will make it for you!"

Ah Cha nodded, "Okay!" I'm obedient!"

"Let's go!" In order to prevent Ah Cha from making Xiao Mingyue take a nap, Qingwen and Caiwei took her to the small kitchen, coaxing her to play and making snacks for her to eat.

Nanchen to Jiankang Jiming Temple built the longest, the largest, the most magnificent, now all over the place and built these many temples one after another, standing on the high pavilion of Jiming Temple condescendingly, looking at it from afar. In the early morning, all the temple bells rang neatly, which made people feel more magnificent and sacred, highlighting the ** of Buddhism and the grandeur of the emperor!

There are several virtuous monks in the temple, led by Master Kongzhu in the early years.

After Master Kongzhu left, several people took turns in charge, one of them was a master of wisdom who recited and lectured in the turntable, a master of Zhifang who taught his disciples to practice, and a master of Zhiyi who was in charge of food and lodging for people who came and went, and who made incense and made wishes.

When the emperor came, several masters naturally came to receive him in person.

The people also rushed over and lined up in two rows under the control of officers and soldiers, just to see the emperor's demeanor.

Master Zhiyi arranged the meditation room for Chen Xian early, and Master Zhifang and Zhizhi came to greet them with all their disciples.

Chen Xian got off the dragon chariot, there were already forbidden army guards around, most of the people could only watch through the gap in the crowd, Chen Nian only wore the usual yellow clothes, but the emperor's spirit was fully displayed, so that ordinary people could not feel a sense of awe when they saw it.

The ministers followed.

Several masters stepped forward to salute the emperor and said, "The poor monks have seen Your Majesty!" Your Majesty's visit to this temple is an honor for this temple!"

"The widow has also seen a few masters, this time the widow came, he wanted to stay for a few days, and pray for the blessing of the Jiangshan Society! I'm going to have to bother a few masters!" Chen Xian clasped his hands together and bowed his head slightly.

"Your Majesty's concern for the country and the people is the blessing of the country's society! Naturally, we are willing to assist and cooperate with Your Majesty!" The wisdom of the master said.

"The poor monk has also prepared a clean meditation room for His Majesty and all the ministers to rest! Please move, Your Majesty!" Master Zhiyi said.

"There are a few masters!"

Chen Xian walked in front, the civil and military officials followed, and when Chen Xian entered the meditation room prepared for himself, Master Zhiyi took the hundred officials to their meditation room, in order to facilitate them to take care of each other, Master Zhiyi arranged a room for every two people, half smaller than the emperor's specifications, and the layout was more simple.

Although it is not as good as the high bed and soft pillows at home, the officials have to make temporary appointments.

Some ministers who were accustomed to sleeping on soft beds and high pavilions on weekdays lay on the mattresses in the meditation room, covered with ramie quilts, and could not sleep at night, but they did not dare to complain for half a sentence, for fear of angering the emperor and their heads being moved.
