Chapter 269: Willing to be the Gongzi Dynasty

Mistakes again, depressed...... Recently, my schedule has been messed up, and I've been dizzy all day, so I've changed it, I've changed it!!

———————————————————— Beipi, also known as Jiashan.

Stretching for more than 300 miles from east to west, like a long dragon, lying in the north of Luoyang City, it is the natural barrier in the north of Luoyang.

The mountains are undulating and the scenery is beautiful.

According to legend, Lao Tzu, the ancestor of Taoism, once made alchemy in this mountain, so in later generations, it became a holy place of Taoism...... Chrysanthemum Nunnery is located in a valley at the foot of the North Mountain. Wild chrysanthemums grow in the valley, and after the beginning of autumn, they bloom one after another. Colorful, full of splendor, become a scenery in Luoyang. After the beginning of autumn, there is an endless stream of visitors here. After admiring the chrysanthemums, people will ascend to the top and die. Every evening, the twilight is blank. Standing on the north mountain, you can see the ethereal clouds, which makes people feel like entering a fairyland...... The evening view of Pishan Mountain is one of the eight major views of Luoyang in later generations.

It's just that Cao Peng has never been here in his previous life, let alone enjoyed the beautiful scenery of this night.

The surrounding mountains are undulating, and the mountains and rivers are particularly beautiful. Overlooking the majestic outline of Luoyang City, but in the twilight, there is a faint decay.

Standing side by side with Chen Qun on the Beibi Mountain, Cao Peng couldn't help but feel relaxed.

There are no traces of artificial carving here, and there is no cable car full of sky, which is full of natural scenery.

Looking down the mountain, the wild chrysanthemums are splendid.

Looking into the distance, Luoyang City is in sight...... "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk." ”

He couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, but he didn't think about it, but Chen Qun really heard it.

"Ah Fu, why do you sigh so much?"

"Well, it's just an occasional feeling, and it doesn't deserve anything."

"Really?"

Chen Qun couldn't help but smile, nodded and didn't ask any more.

He and Cao Peng climbed the Tianshan Mountain for a long time, and also enjoyed the scenery of the north. Chen Qun felt a little tired, so he had the intention of returning home.

He looked for Cao Peng today, saying that he was appreciating chrysanthemums, but in fact he wanted to find out Cao Peng's plans.

And Cao Peng had already made his words clear, and Chen Qun was relieved. He began to think about how to rectify the Luoyang Bazaar and calm the people's livelihood.

The price of prices in Luoyang has been high during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even after the change of Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, the dilapidated Luoyang is also staggering.

In Xudu, a liter of coarse millet costs about 130 yuan; In Luoyang, the price of the same liter of coarse millet is as high as more than 200, nearly 300 yuan. This is still the result of Cao Ying's suppression of grain prices after Xu Dutun grain. If we put it in the early days, a liter of coarse millet once exceeded the usual price, and the high price of its price can be seen. What Chen Qun has to do now is to try his best to bring down the price of grain in Luoyang.

During the Xiping period, the price of grain in Luoyang was only more than 100 yuan.

Chen Qun did not expect to fall back to the level of the Xiping period, as long as it stabilized at about 200 yuan, it could be called an extraordinary political achievement.

"Ah Fu, let's go back."

"It's fine."

Cao Peng also had the heart to leave, so he nodded in response.

"In the evening, come to your house for dinner?"

"Why do you want to come to my house?"

Chen Qun smiled, "In such a good season, how can there be no food?" But when it comes to food, it's still your Xiaoluan that makes the best. ”

"Big brother, you can't be so shameless."

"Brother Xian, you came to Luoyang, I haven't picked up the wind for you yet, it's better to make up for it at your home today, and show my brother's heart."

Your house is a pick-up, and you have to go to the house of the person who is being picked up to eat.

Fortunately, Cao Peng was also used to Chen Qun, so after laughing and scolding, he agreed.

At this time, Jin Wuxi sinks, and the twilight clouds are four.

There was a cool breeze on the mountain, but when I got to the bottom of the mountain, I suddenly felt like a steamer. I don't know if it's because God is in a bad mood or if it's something else. After descending the mountain, the sky changed abruptly. But when he saw the rolling dark clouds, they rushed from afar, covering the sky in the blink of an eye...... From the thick clouds, there was a faint sound of thunder.

Cao Peng was about to board the bus when he heard someone shouting his name in the distance.

He stopped, turned his head to look over, and saw an extremely ugly-looking old monk and a young man walking towards him.

"Sure enough, it's you, Gongzi Cao!"

"Mr. Hyun Suk?"

Cao Peng recognized at a glance that one of the people who came was Yuan Xuanshuo, the current White Horse Siqing (self-styled, the imperial court did not record), and the other was Zhang Liang, who had the same name as the Taiping Dao 'Rengong General'. The two came to Cao Peng, one was the chief and the other was handed over.

"Mr. Zhang Gongzi, Mr. Xuan Shuo, why are you here?"

Hyun Suk grinned, and the scars on his face were stacked, which made people feel disgusted.

He replied, "Today, the chrysanthemum fairy has a banquet, how can we not come?" The chrysanthemum brew she brewed last year is in the year and can be unsealed, so we were invited to come and taste the main wine of Yue'an. Just now, I saw Cao Gongzi's back from a distance, so I called out rashly. ”

As he spoke, Xuan Shuo glanced at Chen Qun and arched his hand, "Chen County's order is also there." ”

He is the White Horse Temple, no matter whether this 'White Horse Temple' is recognized by the imperial court or not, after all, it is also under the rule of Chen Qun.

When Chen Qun arrived, Xuan Shuo also went to greet him. Therefore, he recognized Chen Qun at a glance, which was not worth Cao Peng's surprise.

Zhang Liang also stepped forward to greet Chen Qun, and then stood aside without speaking.

"Chen County Order, Cao Gongzi, look at this day, it seems that a thunderstorm is coming, why don't you take shelter from the rain in the nunnery, and taste the chrysanthemum wine?"

"This ......"

Chen Qun hesitated and looked at Cao Peng.

Cao Peng looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and said softly: "What Mr. Xuan Shuo said is reasonable, in that case, you and I might as well find a place to shelter from the rain first." When the rain stops, let's go back, how about it? ”

"Just learn from your friends."

In fact, Chen Qun didn't want to understand the demeanor of the chrysanthemum fairy.

However, he is the Yang Order, and every word and deed must have rules.

To put it nicely, it is called reserved; To say something ugly is to pretend to be forced.

Xuan Shuo couldn't help laughing, "Today, it is said that there are Chen County Ling and Cao Gongzizhi, and it is my luck to say it." Yuan'an, I will accompany the county order and Cao Gongzi to go over, you inform the chrysanthemum fairy, let her take care of it, don't neglect the two distinguished guests of Chen County Ling and Cao Gongzi. ”

Zhang Liang nodded and turned to leave.

Chen Qun and Cao Peng, accompanied by Yuan Xuanshuo, walked in the direction of Chrysanthemum Nunnery.

"Mr. Yuan, where was he before?"

"Where there is any high achievement, it is just in Chang'an City, to be a pawn. At the beginning, Wang Situ designed to kill Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao and Guo Yan besieged Chang'an. I was also afraid of death, so I left secretly. The wound on his face was caused by the fire at the city gate.

Originally, I still had the heart to do something.

But as soon as this skin is injured, the mind will be thin.

It just so happened that I had also practiced Buddhism in my early years, so after I came to Luoyang, I had the heart of retreat, so I settled in the White Horse Temple. At that time, there was no one in the White Horse Temple, so I was recommended to be the secretary of the White Horse Temple...... By the way, Chen County's order also bothered to make a book for me in the imperial court. ”

"Predecessor Luoyang Ling, why don't you make a book?"

"How do I make a book?" Xuan Shuo sighed, "At first, I didn't even know where the imperial court was, so no one asked; After His Majesty moved the capital, there were years of war. I have urged my predecessor to urge the Yang Order several times, but I have never paid attention to it, so I just delayed it.

Before, the monks of Donglin Temple had asked for the statue of 500 disciples of Futu, but because they did not get the correct name, they could not be completed......"

With that, Xuan Shuo sighed again.

Futu is a Sanskrit word that translates to 'Buddha'.

In Buddhism, there are "Five Hundred Disciples of the Buddha Speak of the Book of the Beginning", which was introduced into the Eastern Han Dynasty as early as the Yongping period.

It's just that when Yongping sought the Dharma, Zhu Falan and Kash Moten translated the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" and other scriptures, but did not translate the "Buddha's Five Hundred Disciples Say the Book of the Origin", so the "Book of the Origin" circulated among the people is still mainly in Sanskrit. Even if the monks knew, they did not translate it in order to maintain their high status. And the five hundred disciples of this Buddha are the five hundred arhats of the later generations.

Gu Tianzhu used to use 'five hundred' and 'eighty-four' to describe the meaning of many.

For example, these 500 bhikshus, 500 disciples, and 500 arhats are all numbers that often appear in Buddhist scriptures.

Donglin Temple, located in Xingyang.

Together with the White Horse Temple in Luoyang and the Xiangshan Temple in Xishan, it is known as the three oldest Buddhist temples in China. Donglin Temple was also built in the Yongping period, but slightly later than the White Horse Temple, and belongs to the branch of the White Horse Temple. Worship Shakyamuni, so it is normal to ask for a statue of Buddha for 500 disciples.

However, it is not allowed to make Buddha statues without permission in Donglin Temple, and must be approved by the White Horse Temple and supervised by the White Horse Temple.

Nowadays, the White Horse Temple has not been recognized by the imperial court, and even if it is built, it cannot be transported. Especially after the Taiping Dao, the imperial court has been in a state of caution about this kind of religious teaching. If it is found on the road, it is likely to be destroyed on the spot...... Chen Qun nodded and said, "I will pay attention to this matter...... However, I still need to go to the Honglu Temple, and I'm afraid it will take some time. ”

"As long as Chen Xianling is careful, otherwise the statues of the five hundred disciples in my temple have been built, but they cannot be transported for a long time, which is also a trouble."

Hyun Shuo didn't discuss it anymore.

As for when Chen Qun will be on the book and when he will approve it, he will not ask.

A character like Chen Qun, since he agreed, he naturally won't regret it. Presumably Xuan Shuo accompanied him, that is, for Chen Qun's words.

Cao Peng listened quietly and did not interrupt along the way.

Before the group knew it, they came to the outside of the chrysanthemum hermitage, and the thunder in the clouds was more urgent, and faintly, the silver snake could be seen circulating in the dark clouds.

Heavy rain is coming!

Yue Guan took his disciples, and the little monk Xuelian was waiting outside the nunnery.

I saw her, with her hair shawl, which set off the white and tender skin. A pink face, which is obviously carefully retouched, curved willow eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the eyes are flashing, seductive. A cyan dress was draped on his body, the wind blew, and when he lifted his clothes, a pair of slender and white legs were faintly visible, looming. The concave and convex curves loom with the shaking of the garment, making it even more attractive.

Seeing Chen Qun and others coming, Yue Guan Mailian walked down the door.

She bowed, "Xiao Ni has seen Luoyang Ling, Cao Beibei." ”

The moment she leaned forward, her slender neck curved in a moving curve.

Through the loose tie clothes, you can see that under the white skin, two plump ...... When Chen Qun saw Yue Guan, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

This woman, in her gestures, does not reveal a seductive style, really, really...... The demon who overwhelmed the city and the country.

Cao Peng coughed lightly, and Chen Qun came back to his senses.

After meeting Yue Guan, Yue Guan led the way in front, only to see the plump buttocks graceful under the tie clothes, outlining the back, outlining...... Chen Qun lowered his voice and said, "Such a stunner, comparable to Wei Linggong's Nanzi." ”

Wei Linggong was the lord of the country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he had a beautiful concubine, who ordered Song Nan, that is, Nanzi recorded in the history books.

In the history books, Nanzi is evaluated as 'beautiful and silver'.

There is also a record in "Analects-Yongye": Zi saw Nanzi, and Zilu was displeased. The master said: If you deny it, God will hate it, and God will hate it.

It means that Confucius was summoned by Nanzi in Weiguo, and his student Zilu was very unhappy.

Confucius had no choice but to even swear to confess his heart...... In fact, when Cao Peng read this paragraph, he couldn't help but feel a little weird.

When a teacher sees a woman, he wants to swear to his students? Then this teacher can't help but be too aggrieved, and Zilu, the student, is too domineering.

In fact, Confucius's meeting of Nanzi is also a big mystery to later generations.

In "On Balance", the great Confucian Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty directly doubted whether Confucius and Nanzi really had a leg?

This may be a big scandal that no one can find out...... Cao Peng smiled and said softly: "Brother Gongzi Chao, or Kong Zhongni?" ”

Gongzi Chao is Nanzi's lover and Wei Linggong's male favorite. After he and Nanzi were **, they even eloped and fled, but they were invited back by Wei Linggong, and they were happy in a threesome.

When Chen Qun heard this, he immediately coughed violently.

Yue Guan stopped and looked back, "Chen Luoyang, what's wrong?" ”

Are you feeling unwell?

Cao Peng smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Chen Luoyang was just excited for a while, so he coughed." ”

"Excited?"

Yue Guanmei's eyes turned, and she glanced at Chen Qun suspiciously.

Chen Qun hurriedly waved his hand, "It's really okay, don't listen to Cao Beibei's nonsense." ”

After that, he glared at Cao Peng fiercely. Yue Guan was a little confused, but since Chen Qun said that it was okay, she couldn't ask again.

"You guy, Hugh makes fun of the saint."

Cao Peng smiled and kept silent.

The area of the chrysanthemum nunnery is not large, and there is a Buddhist hall facing the mountain gate. On one side of the Buddha hall, there are three meditation rooms.

Go through the gate and into the backyard. This backyard is adjacent to the Buddhist hall, which is a courtyard and the residence of Yueguan. Next to the courtyard, there is a flower pond, and there is a water pavilion built in the pool, with an area of about 100 square meters. At this time, there were already many people in the water pavilion, and they came out to greet each other.

Cao Peng saw at a glance that there were acquaintances and a few unfamiliar faces.

Chi Zhong and Zhang Tai were on the list, and there were two other men, one of whom was about forty years old, chubby, and quite rich.

The other, on the other hand, was a young man with a gloomy face and did not smile.

"Actually, I think the Childe Dynasty is better."

Chen Qun stepped forward to meet everyone, but before he took a step, he suddenly said something to Cao Peng. Cao Peng stumbled under his feet, and suddenly he felt like he couldn't cry or laugh. This Chen Changwen is really ...... However, such a surname is quite in line with Cao Peng's mind.

He shook his head and stepped forward.

A middle-aged man, named Su Wei, a native of Hejian.

As for the young man, his surname is Chen. But it's not Chen Qun's 'Chen', but Chen Fan's 'Chen'.

One Yingchuan, the other Runan Pingyu, there is no connection between the two. Su Wei is a big man in Luoyang and a member of the Su family in Hejian.

The Su family in the river?

For some reason, a familiar figure flashed in Cao Peng's mind.

I couldn't help but wonder a little in my heart: Did the person I saw inside the Ruoyang City Gate earlier see wrong? Or is it him?

A deep gaze flashed over Su Wei......
