Chapter 156: Taishou Monument

Chapter 156 is too shoubei

Lin'an, Jiafu.

The housekeeper Jia Xuan walked into the house quickly and whispered, "My lord, the porter has come to report that there is a monk outside who asks to see you." ”

"Monk, where did the monk come from?"

"He said that he was a traveling monk, who had just come from the north and was entrusted by someone to come to meet the prime minister."

"North? Go talk to him, give him a little more silver, and tell the old man what is going on. Jia Rudao said listlessly.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go and have a look."

"Really, everything is going to bother me." Jia Rudao snorted and muttered to himself.

Jia Rudao closed his eyes, lying on a bamboo chair as if he was sleeping, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the two maids next to him gently fanned a big sunflower fan, and the cool breeze blew, which was also pleasant.

"It's still comfortable to lie at home, it's really hot this day."

"Your Excellency." Jia Xuan quickly turned back again, but this time he seemed a little hurried.

"What's the matter?" Jia Rudao became impatient.

Jia Xuan kicked his breath and hurriedly reported: "My lord, the monk said, he said ......"

"How did you swallow and spit out, Jia Xuan, if you have something to say, say it quickly."

"My lord, the monk said that his Dharma name is called Horn Shock."

"What, trumpet?" When Jia Rudao heard this, he hurriedly sat up and exclaimed, "Surprised, Hao Jing? ”

"Exactly."

"Jia Xuan, let him in."

"Do you want Mr. Wu to accompany you?"

"No, you don't." Jia Rudao thought about it, quickly calmed down, waved his hand, and motioned for the fan-shaking maid to retreat.

After a while, Jia Xuan walked in with a tall monk, this monk was none other than Yang Lian Zhenjia, the high priest of the Mongolian Tianya.

"Who's coming?" Jia Yidao asked softly.

Yang Lian Zhenjia clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk Lian Zhen pays a visit to Xiangye." ”

"Lian Zhen? Aren't you screaming at yourself? ”

Yang Lian Zhenjia smiled: "Xiangye, after listening to the poor monk, you will understand." ”

"Be bold, and don't bow down when you see Xiangye." Jia Xuan said angrily.

"A poor monk is a monk, who only worships the gods and Buddhas, and forgives me."

Jia seemed to see that this Lian Zhen monk was neither humble nor arrogant, and saw that he was not panicked when he was the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and his popularity was extraordinary, so he scolded Jia Xuan: "Jia Xuan, don't be rude, serve tea to this Lian Zhen master, and take a seat." ”

Lian Zhen sat down and said: "The poor monk Lian Zhen thanked Xiang Ye, no wonder the world rumors, I have a big belly to Xiang Ye, and I know people and talents. ”

The sycophants have not been worn since ancient times, and Jia Yidao was also quite happy in his heart, but there was still no expression on his face: "Master Lian Zhen, please have something to say." ”

"Xiangye, the poor monk law number Lian Zhen, since he was a child, he fell in Emei, Sichuan, and then traveled all over the world, and the four seas were his home. A few days ago, I went to the north of Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha, and when I came back, I met a strange donor, and asked the poor monk to hand over a letter to the minister, and the donor once said that if the minister did not see the poor monk, then the name of the report can be shocked. Xiangye, this is the letter handed over by the donor, please take a look. ”

Jia Rudao took the letter and saw that it was indeed written by Hao Jing.

Hao Jing thanked Jia Xiang of the Song Dynasty for five years of courtesy, and now he has returned to the north, and he will never forget it, although this matter is Jia Xiang's personal behavior, Hao Jing can understand it, and will guard this secret for Jia Xiang. However, my Mongolian envoy Ulhan and my servants are still there, and I hope that Jia Xiang will take care of them.

This is a letter of coercion from **naked, the meaning is very simple, as long as Jia Rudao guarantees the safety of Wu Lihan and others, then Hao Jing will keep this secret.

"Master Lian Zhen, what else did that person say?"

"Hui Xiangye, that's all."

Jia Rudao stared at Yang Lian Zhenjia, and said after a while: "Yes, where will the master place an order in Lin'an?" ”

"Xiangye, when the poor monk is in Lin'an, he will generally place an order in Yanfu Temple, but the poor monk has been determined since he was a child, and he intends to go to all the temples in the world and spend all the people in the world, so there is no permanent place to live, maybe he will go to other places after a while."

"Well, will the master still go back and forth between the north and the south?"

"Hui Xiangye, it's hard to say."

"Master Lian Zhen, if the old man needs your help, are you willing?"

"If you can do things for the prime minister, and if the poor monk can do it, you should agree."

"Okay, the old man will send someone to Yanfu Temple to leave a post for you, and if necessary, please ask the master to travel back and forth between the north and the south."

"Amitabha! Xiangye, the poor monk should obey his orders, the poor monk's task has been completed, and he has retired. ”

"Jia Xuan, send the master."

Located in the eastern part of Fujian Road, along the lower reaches of the Min River, Fuzhou is the largest city on Fujian Road, an important trading port on the southeast coast and the gateway of the Maritime Silk Road. According to historical records, as early as 7,000 years ago in the Neolithic Age, there were human habitants in Fuzhou, Fuzhou City was built from the Xia Dynasty, and Fuzhou Governor's Mansion was set up in the period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which was the beginning of the name of "Fuzhou".

"Childe, Fuzhou Mansion has many aliases, such as Rongcheng, Sanshan, Dongyue, Zuohai, etc., among which Rongcheng and Sanshan are the most famous. The name of the three mountains comes from the fact that there are three peaks in Fuzhou City, including Ping Mountain, Wu Mountain and Yu Mountain, so it is also called the Three Mountains; And the name of the banyan city is related to my dynasty rule three years (1067) too shou Zhang Boyu, the legend is that Zhang personally planted two banyan trees in front of the yamen, and called on the people to plant generally, and later the city is full of green shade, the summer does not open the cover, so there is the beauty of the banyan city. Chen Miao introduced us as she walked.

In the evening, a group of eight of us entered Fuzhou Mansion under the leadership of Lin Ying and Chen Miao.

"Lin Ying, Chen Miao, do you know where Tongle Building is?" I asked after entering the city.

"Tongle Building? I had never heard of such a restaurant in Fuzhou. Lin Ying was surprised.

"Hehe, yes. Childe, this Tongle Building is newly opened recently, it is said to be a branch of Lin'an Tongle Building, it tastes very good, junior sister, you haven't been in the city for a long time, right? Chen Miao said with a smile.

"Well, Senior Brother Chen, my little sister hasn't been here for nearly half a year."

"No wonder you don't know, this Tongle Building is located under Pingshan Mountain in the north direction of Fuzhou City."

"Very good, then bother Brother Chen to lead the way."

Chen Miao didn't know that I had the Lin Family Elder's Order, and Lin Ying didn't tell him that although Chen Miao's martial arts were still above Lin Ying, he was an outer disciple after all. An outer disciple like Xie Daolin has been the only one for hundreds of years.

"Yes, Childe, please come here."

Chen Miao led us all the way north.

People come and go along the way, bustling, shops on both sides are lined up, there are many restaurants, although it is not as prosperous as Lin'an, but it is much stronger than Jinhua, Wenzhou and other places. Both sides of the road are indeed banyan trees, many of which look to be some years old, these banyan trees are strangely shaped, with lush foliage and huge crowns.

Fang Ling looked at it and said, "Sister Lin, your trees here are like a big cover. ”

"Well, yes, this is one of the characteristics of the banyan tree, how is it different from you?"

"It's very different, we have more willows and poplars there."

"I remember going to Lin'an West Lake once when I was a child, and the willows hanging down by the lake were really beautiful."

"Hehe, Sister Lin, do you like Lin'an?"

"Yes, I like it."

"Why don't you go to Lin'an with us when we go back."

Lin Ying shook her head and said, "Then what's the matter, I still have to practice and do things." ”

Fang Ling approached Lin Ying's side and whispered in his ear: "What's wrong, don't forget that my brother is the elder of your Lin family, as long as he says something, it's okay." ”

Before Lin Ying could answer, she heard Wen Zhang suddenly say, "Hey, the two banyan trees over there are so big." ”

"Xiao Wenzhang, what, what a fuss."

"Sister Fang, look at the banyan tree there."

"Wow, it's really big, it's the most banyan tree in the city."

Chen Miao smiled and said: "Childe, miss, those are the two banyan trees planted by Lord Zhang himself, and next to them is the location of the old mansion. ”

"Well, go over and have a look."

A stone tablet stands in front of the banyan tree, and the banyan tablet is written on it.

"Childe, this is called the Banyan Monument, also known as the Taishou Monument, which was erected by later generations to commemorate Lord Zhang, and it is engraved with the reason why Lord Zhang planted the banyan tree." Chen Miao pointed to the stone tablet and said, "The banyan tree can not only prevent drought and flood, but also can be planted by households, and it is not afraid of cold and heat, standing proudly, and the people of Fuzhou should take this as a model." ”

"What a proud stand." I praised.

"Yes, the spirit of the banyan tree is admirable, when we learn, this adult can also be regarded as a parent official who benefits one party, and it should be erected too much." Yuan Jian also said.

After the Rongbei, go north for about 100 meters, and you will see the signboard of Tongle Building, which is exactly the same as the signboard of Lin'an Tongle Building.

"I don't know if Sister Huang has arrived?"

"Ling'er, we are fast, Huang Daopo will be two days in the evening."

"Well, brother, Sister Lin, let's go in."
