The Great Liao Pagoda is not far from the city in the Great Liao Temple, although this tower is also thirteen floors, but it is more spectacular than the tower of the Tianwang Temple, see the upper end of the body of this tower, start from the south to the southeast, there are eight Buddha statues,

To the south is Guanyin Bodhisattva (the Bodhisattva is a person who has practiced to a certain extent in Buddhism and is second only to the Buddha,) and then the following are: the southwest Bodhisattva of Compassion, the Bodhisattva of the Void in the west, the Bodhisattva of Pugen in the northwest, the Bodhisattva Vajrapani in the north, the Bodhisattva of Wonder in the northeast, the Bodhisattva of Removal of Kindness in the east, and the Bodhisattva of the southeast Jizo, in addition, in the lower right corner of each Bodhisattva is engraved with the name of the Bodhisattva of the Buddha, and there are eight Buddha sayings, which respectively tell the eight major events of the Buddha Shakyamuni from birth to Nirvana,

Eight-sided Buddha statue, the expression of the character is very solemn and solemn, the shape is plump, the posture is elegant, as for the height of the Buddha statue, compared with all the Buddha statues on the tower in China, it is unique, especially the Guanyin Buddha statue is the most exquisite and rare, the top of each Buddha statue is carved with a treasure cover, the two sides below the treasure cover are flying in the air, the bottom of the flying sky is the guardian saint of the wrestler and standing on both sides of the Buddha, among the eight faces, the east, west, south and north four fronts are the guardian saints, and the remaining four sides are the wrestlers,

The top of the tower body is the dense eaves of the pagoda, the distance between each eaves gradually decreases from bottom to top, except for the first layer of the upper tile is a large slab tile, the rest of the layers are all bricks instead of tiles, each layer of the eaves of the tower is hung with the wind Duo, Duo is a kind of big bell used when the ancient declared politics and religion or the occurrence of war, the wind Duo on this tower is of different sizes, the shape is different, the hammer of galloping horse, round and King Kong style is hung under the Duo, whenever the breeze comes, the wind starts to hammer and moves, hits the Feng Duo, stands several miles away, can still hear the pleasant bell,

Such a solemn but exquisite ancient tower, no wonder the king looked at the heart of a lot quieter, the two walked into the temple, a monk took the two of them to a room, Master Qi Song is holding the scriptures in his hand, reading the scriptures attentively, the monk made a gesture of please, please sit down and exit the room,

Wang and Yelu Liang looked at each other, no one bothered the master, but sat there quietly, until Master Qi Song finished reading the page he was reading, Qi Song direction classic, looked up and saw the two people next to Wang sitting there waiting, he smiled slightly: "We meet again." ”

Yelu Liangren hadn't seen Master Qisong for many years, and he felt a lot in his heart, and he replied: "After many years, the master has always been good, and the lover was taught by the master back then, so he has today." ”

Master Qi Song said lightly: "This is also your own creation. After he finished speaking, he looked at the king and said: "Wang Shilang, the poor monk thank Wang Shilang for always thinking about the things entrusted to him, and now that the matter has come to an eyebrow, I am afraid that there will be a place to trouble Wang Shilang in the future." ”

Wang Ben knew that Qi Song was talking about the treasure of the temple of Tianwang Temple, and he was a little relieved when he heard that he had eyebrows, but he didn't know what he was referring to, so he said politely: "Master has something to say, please say it clearly, and I will do my best in the future." ”

Qi Song smiled slightly: "It seems that if you want this treasure to return to Tianwang Temple, there will be some twists and turns, and I have already asked Ming that the treasure is indeed taken by Yelu Hongxiao." ”

Wang Jian listened to the amusement in his heart, obviously it was stolen, but he said that it was taken, but presumably the Buddha has the heart to cross people, and Master Qisong is not wrong to say so, "Since I have asked that the treasure of Mingzhen Temple is taken by Yelu Hongxiao, then how can the master say that there will be some twists and turns in retrieving it." The king asked,

"Yelu Hongxiao obtained the treasure, because someone said that this thing is the owner, Yelu Hongxiao gave this thing to others, and the person who gave it also has some relationship with Wang Shilang, so Lao Qu had to try his best to claim it back." When Qi Song spoke, whether it was losing the treasure, or finding out the whereabouts, or even saying that he would claim the treasure again, he had an indifferent and calm demeanor and tone, and he couldn't help but feel that everything was the will of heaven, including the gains and losses of this Yuejin stone.

However, Wang Bi was still very curious: "Master, who is this person you are talking about who has some relationship with me." ”

Some people flashed in the king's mind, such as Yelu Sa Thorn Bamboo who helped Yelu Zongyuan's father and son send troops, as well as that Xiao Hujing, and even Princess Yan, who was filial to Yelu Hong, but it shouldn't be, these three people are dead, is it Wanyan impeacher, Yelu Hongxiao gave the treasure to his subordinates in order to please the Wanyan tribe,

These people are not like it, but one thing can be concluded, Yelu Hongxiao did not understand the wonders of this stone at all, the so-called people who are not fated, who will be the destined people, when the king was puzzled, he suddenly heard a name that gave him a headache and tricky, Qi Song said: "Yelu Hongxiao sent someone to give this treasure to the monarch of the Song Kingdom, that is, your current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"What,." Wang Pan almost jumped up from the chair, and at this time, Wang Pan suddenly understood why Zhao Shu was delirious and crazy, it must be that Zhao Shu got this Yue Jinshi and saw things that should not be seen, so he wanted to put himself to death everywhere, which can better explain why Zhao Shu wanted to take himself away, Zhao Shu saw what he couldn't explain clearly,

The king's actions were somewhat unexpected by Qisong and Yelu Liangren, and Yelu Liangren hurriedly asked, "Wang Shilang, is there anything wrong?" "In front of Qi Song, Yelu Liang didn't dare to call the king next to the king immortal half-jokingly,

"Well, you must also know that the current emperor of the Song Dynasty was seriously ill some time ago, and I am only afraid that he lost his treasure when he was delirious." Wang Bi also felt that the reaction just now was a bit excessive, so he found a reason to cover it up and said,

Qi Song smiled slightly: "I try my best to ask for this stone, I believe that the king of a country will not compete with a temple for any treasures, besides, everything depends on creation, everything depends on fate." ”

Wang Jian heard Qi Song say this, and it was not good to say anything more, he thought about it and said: "Master Qi Song wants to see the emperor, you can ask my father-in-law Bao Cheng and my father to help, in addition to the Nayan monk of Fanta Temple and the royal purple butterfly monk, by the way, the master can go to meet Zhao Zhongzhen first, he is the prince and I have some friendship." ”

Qi Song smiled slightly: "Thank you Wang Shilang for your kindness, Wang Shilang can rest assured, it's still okay to see Emperor Song in the future." ”

Wang listened to Qi Song with great confidence, Yelu Liang explained: "Wang Shilang, Qi Song Master Qing Li, (around 1045 AD) in Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, to Huang You, (around 1051 AD) went to Jingshi, two works of ten thousand words, Emperor Renzong had given the name of Mingjiao Master, after Master Qi Song became famous, refused to be retained by Renzong and Shi Dafu, did not covet the wealth and glory of the capital, resolutely left Beijing, and finally became an abbot in Tianwang Temple, you don't know it. ”

Qi Song waved his hand: "Beloved, don't be greedy for fame." ”

Real people don't show their faces, this monk is hidden deep enough, Wang Bian didn't expect that the Qisong master in front of him had such high qualifications, since this is the case, Wang Bian can only wait and see what happens.

Wang next to the Qisong Yelu Liang people chatted for a while, hiding a little lost mood and leaving the Great Liao Temple, this Yue Jin Stone is in the hands of Yingzong Zhao Shu, Wang next to a little uneasy, he is very worried about the safety under the moon, and if Zhao Shu can really use this stone to see the future, then he can't escape Zhao Shu's sight by doing anything,

At this moment, Wang Fang felt that there was a big stone in his heart, which made him breathless, what happened to the moon, what happened to his children, what happened to his biological father Wang Anshi and his stepfather Bao Zheng, what happened to the family's business, and the layout of Xixia, seeing that he was going to a foreign country, fighting on the vast sea, and knowing that the world was unpredictable,

Wang Fang didn't know at this time that his biological father Wang Anshi had resigned and returned to Jiangning; Bao Zheng was seriously ill and dying; The treasure of Tiannoji Town Temple is no longer in Zhao Shu's hands,

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty, Song Yingzong Zhao Shu's body has gradually recovered, the Great Song Dynasty seems to have dissipated a haze, Zhao Shu officially went to the court, Zichen Hall above the Wu Qunchen ministers see the emperor, Prime Minister Han Qi took the lead in expressing his position, asking Zhao Shu to go out of the palace to ask for rain, in order to tell the emperor of the world to be healthy, to stabilize the people's hearts,

Zhao Shu is on play, he will still do what he does, and then Zhao Shu will do two major things, the first is to improve the status of his biological father and mother, the ministers have great differences on this matter, and finally Sima Guang advised: "It is still in the mourning period of Emperor Renzong, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

Zhao Shu can not listen to other people's words, but Sima Guang's words, Zhao Shu still has to listen, after all, Sima Guang is an important minister who supports his position, and Zhao Shu really thinks that Sima Guang is more useful than Han Qi's old ministers.

Take a few things that just came to the court, Han Qi actually made some bluffing things like asking for rain or something, tossing himself not to mention that he would also work hard and hurt money, and now the treasury is a mess, before Zhao Shu took over, during the Renzong period, there was a deficit of three million taels of silver every year, and now the deficit is more than 15.7 million taels a year.

Zhao Shu had a big head and summoned all the important ministers to discuss: "How to save so many deficits." Those old ministers looked at each other, and then lowered their heads, and no one paid attention to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu was depressed, and received a big gift from Sima Guang, Sima Guang wrote a chronicle "Tongzhi" from the three families to Qin II, dedicated to Song Yingzong,

Zhao Shu took the eight volumes of "Tongzhi" and saw Sima Guang's recital, which read: "The minister has read a lot of history books since he was a child, and he thinks that the history books of the chronicle style are so complicated that even if he is a scholar, it is difficult to read them all, not to mention that the saint is busy with affairs, and it is too difficult to find lessons from the history books.

Therefore, the minister wanted to compile the things related to the rise and fall of the country and the interests of the people in the past dynasties, whether they can be studied or used for reference, into the "Zizhi Tongjian" for the saint to read. ”

Sima Guang wrote sincerely, Song Yingzong was moved, he regarded Sima Guang as a confidant, now the treasury is empty, how to solve it, Sima Guang said: "Saintly, etiquette and morality are related to the safety of the country, and the origin of the survival and safety of chaos is in the hearts of the people. ”

Yingzong frowned, it remains the same now, what should I do about the accumulation of disadvantages, Sima Guang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "Now the accumulation of disadvantages is because some things have changed, such as the tea administration and the coal field, which should have filled the treasury, have become private things. ”

Song Yingzong nodded, it was all the guy next to the king who made trouble, this should have been mine, no one can take it away, let alone you next to the king, hum,
