Because Yang Guang still had another idea in his heart, he only took Li Hun and Guo Yan to take the lead from Guangling in the early morning of the next day and rushed to Tiantai Mountain in eastern Zhejiang.

When Pei Yun found out that Yang Guang had made his own ideas and set off for Weifu's private trip, he hurriedly discussed with Zhang Heng, while leading the hussar battalion to chase Yang Guang and the other three from behind, and on the other hand, he sent 600 miles to urgently send a message to the state and county government offices along the way to strictly protect the safety of Yang Guang and his party.

Half a month later, Yang Guang successfully arrived outside the city of Huiji in eastern Zhejiang, and seeing that it was less than a day's trip to Tiantai Mountain, he ordered Guo Yan to enter the city first to inform the local government office.

At that time, Zhou Luoyu, the county guard of Huiji, had already received a message from Zhang Heng and others from Guangling, and was sending capable officials to inquire about the movements of Yang Guang and his party, and suddenly saw Guo Yan who went south with Yang Guang, which can be described as surprised and happy, and hurriedly went out of the city in person, and connected Yang Guang to the county guard office, and then sent someone to report the news of Yang Guang's arrival in Huiji to Pei Yunyu, but was stopped by Yang Guang's mouth.

"This king came this time, is to sincerely worship the Buddha, so do not want to be too ostentatious, Zhou Junshou does not need to rush the news of the king's arrival in Huiji to Ming Chongzhi, Jianping people, if you are free, tomorrow morning, I will accompany this king to Tiantai Mountain to meet Master Zhiqi, how about it?"

Zhou Luoyu didn't understand Yang Guang's true intention for a while, so he clenched his fists and replied: "Since the prince has ordered this, the last general will send someone up the mountain to inform the monks of Tiantai Temple, and order him to sweep the temple and wait for the prince to come tomorrow." ”

"Well, it doesn't have to be." Yang Guang smiled and waved his hand to stop Zhou Luoyu, and said, "Tomorrow, you only need Zhou Junshou to accompany this king up the mountain to meet Master Zhiqi, how can you act like this?" ”

"However, the prince ......" Zhou Luoyu looked very embarrassed, opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade Yang Guang, but he didn't know where to start, so he couldn't answer.

Seeing him like this, Yang Guang only smiled slightly, but did not give any explanation.

Because Yang Guang had something to say first, Zhou Luoyu was inconvenient to disobey his orders, so he packed up his belongings early the next morning and accompanied Yang Guang and his party out of the city alone and went to Tiantai Mountain.

When it was nearly noon, a group of four people came to the foot of Tiantai Mountain, and Yang Guang ordered Guo Yan to hold the sticker and go to Tiantai Temple to see Master Zhiqi to explain his intentions, and he walked slowly up the mountain accompanied by Li Hun and Zhou Luoyu, and came to Tiantai Temple to wait for a reply.

Although the monks in Tiantai Temple have long heard the news that Yang Guang, the king of Jin, will go to Tiantai Mountain to meet Zhiqi, but because they do not know the specific itinerary of Yang Guang, when they receive the gift sent by Guo Yan first going up the mountain, they still can't help but be taken aback.

A few days ago, Master Demeng gave a lecture, so that Xiao Wang Ran woke up, and suggested that the imperial court should first implement the Juntian system in Jiangnan to benefit the people in Jiangnan. Today, I have come to meet the master and thank you in person. Yang Guangyi saw Master Zhiqi leading the monks of the temple to welcome him out of the temple gate, and hurriedly walked forward, clasped his palms together, and explained the meaning of the ceremony.

"Poor monks don't dare to be, lord, please come to the temple to talk." Zhi Qian smiled and gave way.

Yang Guang had the idea of worshipping the Buddha in his heart, so he refused to pose as a prince of the court in front of Zhiqi, and insisted on asking Master Zhiqi to go first.

Li Hun and Zhou Luoyu were concerned about Yang Guang's safety, so they secretly asked Zhiqi to leave only two or three honest and reliable monks to wait outside the abbot's room on errands, and sent the other monks to leave the abbot early, and what to do.

"Amitabha, the poor monk has heard the news that the prince will go to Tiantai Mountain a few days ago, but he didn't expect the prince to come unexpectedly, and he only brought three or two people with him. But I don't know if the prince has other intentions in acting like this? Zhi Qi looked at Yang Guang with a flickering gaze, and asked first.

"I really can't hide anything from the master's eyes!" Yang Guang sighed heartily, and went straight to Zhiqi to explain his intentions, "I came to Tiantai Mountain, one is indeed to thank the master in person, and the other is to borrow the treasure of Tiantai Temple to convene the Taoist monks of Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River to solve the problem of offerings to Buddhist temples in various places. ”

Although Zhiqi guessed that Yang Guangwei went up the mountain to see him, there must be another purpose, but he didn't expect Yang Guang to propose to worship himself as a teacher, so he shook his head instinctively and said: "The prince is a noble emperor and has the heavy responsibility of Fusui Jiangnan, how can he serve the Buddha with his body?" The prince laughed. ”

Yang Guang got up solemnly, put his palms together and pleaded with him: "My father was adopted by the goddess of wisdom when he was young, and grew up in the temple. Please accept me as an apprentice. ”

Zhiqi hurriedly got up and returned the salute, but he still excused himself: "The poor monk knows that the implementation of the Juntian system will definitely benefit the people of Jiangnan, but what does the prince command, the poor monk is willing to help." But ......"

"Master Wanwang must not refuse, just accept Xiao Wang's apprentice." Yang Guang saw that Zhiqi was about to resign, turned his heart sideways, "pounced" and knelt down in front of Zhiqi, bowing his head.

Rao is such a Taoist monk as Zhiqi, and he has never encountered such a thing today in his life, so he couldn't help but panic for a while, and hurriedly leaned over to help Yang Guang up, and kept reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth, but it was inconvenient to say anything more.

Yang Guang saw that Zhiqi still refused to agree to accept him as a disciple, so he insisted on kneeling and refused to get up, and bluntly persuaded: "The master must have also heard about the monks and nuns of the Buddhist temples in the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River going to the state and county government offices to turn into fate, and someone once suggested to Xiao Wang that he would send troops to suppress him, but Xiao Wang was thinking that Buddhism was a pure place to cultivate Buddhism, and most of the hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns in Jiangnan were not evil people who deliberately opposed the imperial court, and it was not appropriate to impose soldiers, so he thought of worshipping Buddhism and using the power of Buddhism itself to resolve and quell this riot. The reason why he wants to worship the master is not all because of Xiao Wang's thoughts, but because he wants to use the master's prestige in Jiangnan Buddhism to help Xiao Wang save hundreds of thousands of Jiangnan monks and nuns and save them from the difficulties of the army. ”

Zhiqi listened to Yang Guang's words, nodded and sighed: "Thanks to the trust of the prince, inform the poor monk of the truth, for the sake of hundreds of thousands of Buddhist disciples in Jiangnan, the poor monk is willing to reluctantly accept the apprentice of the prince, but the prince also needs to agree to the two conditions of the poor monk." ”

Yang Guang hurriedly asked, "Master, please say, what are the two conditions?" ”
