Qin Lin frustrated the arrogance of the Mongolian warriors in Longfu Temple, and in the next few days they were much more honest, staying in the Huitong Hall all day long, or visiting the major Buddhist temples in Beijing.

Beizhen Fusi did not relax his monitoring of them, anyway, it is clear now, and he is not afraid of the other party finding out if he follows them face to face.

Governor Qin said that the Jingshi is very dangerous, and the Beizhen Fusi, as the eagle dog of the imperial court, must ensure the safety of the guests, otherwise he will lack arms and legs, or be fooled so that he can't find the north, and our Ming court is also a little embarrassed.

Gradually, there were more and more vassal kings, tusi and tribute envoys from all over the country, and Qin Lin's three old friends also arrived in Jingshi.

On the first day of their arrival in Beijing, these three brothers did not go to face the saint or to the Prime Minister's mansion, but first went to the Qinlin Mansion to worship.

It's just that if you don't go to the sky, you will come to see the chief first.

"My friend is doing business in your country, there is nothing in the way, right?" Qin Lin flipped through the very generous gift list and asked casually.

As soon as he heard Chief Qin's friend, the envoy of the Three Kingdoms smiled bitterly, no matter what, he didn't expect that Qin Lin's friend was the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, and the annual tax reduction alone was an astronomical amount.

Ruan Song smiled bitterly: "How can it be hindered? Your friend Chief Jin's business in our country is doing well, which is the envy of people. ”

What kind of character Qin Lin is, he suddenly heard that Ruan Song had something to say, and his cold and lightning gaze swept him away, and he said unhurriedly: "The ambitions of Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli's father and son, have you cleaned up some of them?" Since the defeat of the tribute, this official has not heard much from them here. ”

This blow is very powerful, the Three Kingdoms and Wufeng Maritime Merchants on the Indochina Peninsula are actually profitable to do business, but the tax is reduced a lot, and the profit is not as big as the original tax rate; But what is this money compared to the aggressive pressure of the Taungoo dynasty in Burma? The country is destroyed, no matter how much money there is, it's useless!

Ruan Song hurriedly said: "Thank you, Chief Qin, if the dynasty and Burma are not paying tribute today, the situation of the Donghu Dynasty is not good, and Mang Yinglong is so angry that he is bedridden, but he is afraid that his life will not be long." The officials and people of our three kingdoms sincerely thank the Qin Governor for his benevolence and kindness, and my lord Mo Da also ordered the establishment of the Qin General Shrine in Thang Long City, and asked the officials and the people to burn incense and pay respects! ”

"That's right," Mahara glanced at Ruan Song with a little dissatisfaction, and smiled at Qin Lin: "Chief Qin has done a good job, since the Celestial Empire announced that it would pay no tribute to Burma, we Cambodian people have rejoiced, and they all say that the Celestial Empire is doing justice, which is really as gracious as a mountain." ”

Chaiwari also said: "My country's Prince Na Lixuan has ascended the throne as the emperor, and he is trying his best to avenge the hatred of the country, and he ordered the villain to thank the Qin chief in person after he arrived in Beijing." ”

Isn't this the end, Qin Lin smiled evilly in his heart, compared to the catastrophe of destroying the country and exterminating the species, a little money is a drizzle, let's talk about it.

"By the way, where is Chief Jin in your country lately?" Qin Lin remembered again, there was still something to look for her, that bewitching woman was really unpredictable.

The three envoys looked at each other, and Ruan Song still took the lead: "Chief Jin is not in our three countries, she came to open up the market in person last year, but after the route is stabilized at the end of the year, she left our three countries and went north." ”

Hey, so Jin Yingji is not in the Three Kingdoms on the Indochina Peninsula, when Huo Chonglou saw her in Hangzhou, didn't she say that she was going to Annan and other countries to do business? Did she go to Taiwan?

Qin Lin was confused for a while, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being.

The envoys of Turpan, Tianfang, Samarkand, Lumi, and Hami arrived one after another, and except for the late arrival of King Welling of Uszang, the rest of the vassal envoys basically came.

On this day, Xu Xinyi brought her little sister Zhu Yaoyuan home again, and Miss Xu walked up with long legs and pulled Qin Lin's sleeves when she came up.

Qin Lin knew that the two ghost girls were going to make trouble again, so without waiting for her to speak, he directly shook his hand and refused: "Don't say anything, don't mention anything, my husband has been very busy these days!" ”

"Brother-in-law~~" Zhu Yaoyao's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and they were wet and flickering like a deer's eyes.

"Can't you bear to refuse?" Xu Xinyi gritted his teeth, if Qin Lin refused, I am afraid that there would be a very tragic encounter.

Qin Lin was helpless, and waved his hand: "Okay, where are you going?" ”

"Cishou Temple," Zhu Yaoyuan said softly.

The biological mother of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the Empress Dowager Li, who was from a humble background, only a palace maid, and gave birth to the Wanli Emperor after being favored by the Longqing Emperor. Emperor Longqing died after six years of reign, and although Li lost her husband at an early age, she was revered as the Empress Dowager of Cisheng.

Emperor Wanli was only ten years old when he ascended the throne, so the internal and external affairs were once in charge of the Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li believed in Buddhism, and the eunuchs also praised her field, saying that she was the reincarnation of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, and during her reign, she built a large number of Buddhist temples throughout the country, inside and outside the capital, and built Buddhist temples, and Jingshi Cishou Temple is one of the most famous temples.

This huge temple was built in the fourth year of Wanli, and the base site was the tomb of the eunuch Gu Dayong during the Ming Zhengde period. When building Cishou Temple, Empress Dowager Li used the best building materials and craftsmen of the time, and inquired in detail about the construction process of the temple. Due to the huge cost of building Cishou Temple, Zhang Juzheng, a scholar, once opposed the construction of the temple on the grounds of lack of finance, which shows how luxurious and magnificent Cishou Temple is.

However, as the eldest princess Zhu Yaoyuan, who is the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager Li, has not been to the Cishou Temple since the completion of the Cishou Temple in the sixth year of Wanli, poor eldest princess, Empress Dowager Li treats her like the evil queen treats Snow White.

"Poor Snow White, where is your dwarf?" Qin Lin joked and rubbed Zhu Yaoyuan's brain.

Said to go, Cishou Temple is eight miles outside Fucheng Gate, the distance is not far, Qin Lin ordered the carriage and horse guards, and took the two daughters in the name of family incense.

The monk of Cishou Temple walked out angrily, and said as he walked: "How can there be such an unreasonable villain, it's really too much, Amitabha, sins and sins!" ”

Diao Shigui is a ghost in the ground under the root of the imperial city, Qin Lin came out and took him with him, and when he heard the monk complain, Diao Shigui grabbed the monk's collar with his hand, and made a gesture to beat: "The thief is bald, don't die?" Jinyi Wei commanded the arrival of Chief Qin, you will not gather the monks to receive it ceremoniously, and it's just that, how can you say that it is a villain? Bah! ”

The monk shook his hand in a panic: "Wrong, wrong, how many little monks dare to say General Qin?" And a good person like General Qin, the temple can't be invited easily, and it's too late to greet him...... The little monk is saying that those Tatar barbarians, one by one, came to our temple and made a miasma. ”

Hey, Huang Taiji and his gang came to Cishou Temple again? Qin Lin smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "It's true that life meets everywhere. ”

When Zhu Yaoyao heard about the Mongols, she immediately retreated, and said in anticipation: "Cousin, let's not go, I heard that Tatars eat raw meat and drink the blood of cattle and sheep, which is not ordinary evil, let's, let's come back another day." ”

"You, you, didn't you say that this temple built by your mother has not been here for several years, so you rushed here?" Xu Xinyi stretched out his finger and nodded at the corner of Zhu Yao's forehead, and said with hatred: "Have you forgotten what your imperial ancestor and my ancestor did?" Even if others are afraid of the Mongol Tatars, we shouldn't be afraid! ”

This makes sense, Zhu Yao's ancestor is Zhu Yuanzhang, the master of Hong Wuye, who raised an army against the Yuan Dynasty to seize the world, and Xu Xinyi's ancestor went to Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and led the army to sweep through the Shuo desert.

It's a pity that Xu Xinyi still has a little bit of Xu Da's breath, but Zhu Yaoyuan can't see Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow at all.

When Zhu Yaoyuan heard her cousin say this, she was suspicious in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Qin Lin.

Qin Lin smiled encouragingly, "It doesn't matter, Huang Taiji will hide faster than a mouse when he sees a cat." ”

"Ah, are you?" Xu Xinyi's apricot eyes widened, and he pointed at Qin Lin's nose and was surprised and delighted.

Qin Lin nodded, you guessed it.

A group of people step into the temple, Cishou Temple has a series of buildings such as Tianwang Palace, Drum Tower, Bell Tower, Yongan Wanshou Tower, Yanshou Treasure Palace, Ning'an Pavilion, etc., the shape is neat, the scale is grand. Among them, the plaque of Ning'an Pavilion is the handwriting of the Empress Dowager Li, and the statue of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva is enshrined in the apse.

Others didn't have a special feeling when they saw the handwriting and the Bodhisattva statue, after all, the Empress Dowager Li was born in a small family, and this calligraphy was general, and the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva statue made Qin Lin laugh.

Qin Linxin said that fortunately, the Bodhisattva Empress Dowager Li believed in the Bodhisattva, if she believed in the Olympus gods, even Athena would be molded into the appearance of the Empress Dowager Li, and the eunuchs would do everything to make the sycophants of the horse.

As everyone knows, Qin Lin himself will have such treatment in the future, which makes him smile bitterly...... Zhu Yaoyuan worshiped the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva very reverently, her weak body fell to the ground, and there were words in her mouth, Qin Lin found that there were tears in the corners of the eldest princess's eyes through the light cast by the window.

The statue of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva is like the incarnation of the Empress Dowager Li, is Zhu Yaoyuan worshipping the Bodhisattva, or is she praying for rare maternal love?

The noisy shouts broke the tranquility created by the cigarette smoke, and the strange cries of several Mongolians not far away could be heard, mixed with Xu Xinyi's angry rebuke.

No way? Qin Lin wondered in his heart, Miss Xu is a reassuring beauty in this era, and there will never be a prince in the Central Plains who will be entangled, could it be that she will be entangled by barbarians again this time?

Xu Xinyi led a group of female soldiers under the command of Shi Jian, the long sword in his hand flashed, and the three Mongolian warriors were extremely embarrassed there, with a little wound on the shoulder and wrist, and the scimitar was thrown to the ground.

Xu Xinyi scolded loudly: "Buddha Hall Pure Land, you pee everywhere, and you don't avoid female guests, it's really too much!" ”

It turned out that Miss Xu was a anxious surname, and she was impatient to worship the Buddha slowly, so she took the female soldiers around, walked to the front of this heavy temple, and happened to bump into three Mongolian warriors peeing.

Qin Lin saw that there was no major event, so he walked over unhurriedly.

When several Mongolian warriors saw Qin Lin coming, their expressions changed, and they muttered a few words to each other, and then suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Lin repeatedly.

Xu Xinyi was taken aback, although these Mongolian warriors were defeated, their surnames were very tough, and they were shouting very arrogantly just now, but they didn't expect that as soon as Qin Lin came, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

No one here knew Mongolian, and several of the warriors were also middle- and lower-class and did not understand Chinese, so they just knelt on the ground and kept shouting, begging for mercy from the bare-handed Qin hero.

"Who said that the world has changed, and husbands are afraid of their wives?" Several female soldiers whispered and whispered at Qin Lin and Xu Xinyi Nunu: "Look, although our young lady is powerful, in the end, Aunt Qin is better." ”

It's not, Chief Qin Linqin's face is really big.

Soon Zhu Yaoyuan also came out of the Buddhist hall, and when she saw this scene, the eldest princess, who was still very afraid of the Mongolian Tatars, suddenly looked at Qin Lin with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and was no longer afraid of the Mongols.

At this moment, a terrible cry suddenly came from not far away, dragging a long voice through the sky, and the emotions of despair and misery were intertwined, like a tide hitting people's eardrums.

The faces of the three Mongolian warriors changed greatly all of a sudden, and they were so anxious that they were like something, pointing at Qin Lin and saying something.

The monk also ran over, looking anxious: "It's the Yongan Wanshou Tower!" ”

Qin Lin immediately asked him to lead the way.

As early as far outside the temple, I saw a pagoda towering like a cloud.

Yongan Wanshou Tower has thirteen levels, is an octagonal dense eaves solid brick tower (in a tall tower body has multiple layers of dense eaves, called "dense eaves tower"), nearly 20 zhang high, by the tower base, the tower body, the tower stop three parts are composed, beautiful and dignified, antique.

The tower body has brick carved arch doors and semicircular carved windows on all sides. The plaques on the arch gate are: "Yongan Wanshou Tower" in the south, "Calm Emperor Map" in the east, "Zhenci Hongfan" in the north, and "Huiteng Yueyue" in the west. There are 24 Buddha shrines on each floor, 312 bronze Buddhas were originally enshrined, and there are statues of Vajra Lux on both sides of the doors and windows.

In ancient times, the bell is hung on the eaves of the temple mainly to drive away evil spirits, there are more than 3,000 wind chimes hanging at the eaves corner of Yongan Wanshou Tower, stand under the tower and listen carefully, due to the strength of the wind, the length and the direction of the change, the bell also produces subtle changes, crisp and pleasant, as if playing a colorful symphony.

When Qin Lin ran over, more than 3,000 wind chimes made a burst of rapid ringtones under the wind blowing, but the beautiful bells that made people feel calm in the past made people feel restless at this time.

When I ran closer, I saw heads poking out of the windows on several floors of the tower and looking down, there were monks, pilgrims, and Mongolians, all of whom looked frightened.

Following their gaze, Qin Lin quickly found the reason for their expressions: a corpse was lying quietly on the ground in a curled posture formed by falling from a height, blood was pouring out from under his body, and his mouth was full of blood bubbles.
