Qin Minxue looked at the Handong County Mansion not far away and was a little stunned, he has seen a lot of large and small palaces, but most of them are in the capital, this Handong County Mansion is not in the capital, and there is such a scale, this is very rare in the current dynasty, who is the king of Handong County, this can't be blamed He doesn't know, the Song Dynasty has been founded for so many years, and there are countless people who have been crowned kings, these people take the court's money, and few people are officials to do things for the court. The prince's son only inherits the prince, and only those who are old and virtuous will be crowned the king of the county.

This palace made Qin Minxue very curious, he immediately sent someone to investigate, and the entourage came back to report that the king of Handong County was Zhao Zongshu, Qin Minxue couldn't help but gasp, and now it is in the realm of Zhao Zongshu, Zhao Zongshu, that is the younger brother of Zhao Shu, the emperor Song Yingzong, King Pu has three wives, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zongchu are both born to the Yuan Concubine Wang, in case Zhao Zhongzhen finds his uncle Zhao Zongchu here, it will inevitably be sent back to the capital soon,

However, when Qin Minxue calmed down and thought about it, he felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly remembered something, that day in the vertical arch hall, Emperor Yingzong obviously said: "If Zhongzhen doesn't come back as soon as possible, Zhao Hao is young, in case the queen mother urges about the crown prince, how can Zhao Hao compare with Zhao Zongchu." Isn't it more troublesome for himself and Gao Gonghua to hope to establish Zhao Hao, no, I have to meet this Zhao Zongchu to see what kind of person he is, he made up his mind, changed into civilian clothes and went to the palace of Handong County,

A few guards in front of the palace of Handong County saw a young man who wanted to see the king of the county, and saw the name card handed by Qin Minxue, secretary Cheng, what kind of official position is this, there are many people who usually come to see the king of the county, especially in the recent period, there are many officials in the state capital of Guangnan and the king of the county, but I have never heard of the official position of secretary Cheng, seeing that Qin Minxue is not very old, it is estimated that he also wants to ask the king of the county to seek promotion, so the guards are not polite to Qin Minxue: "The king of the county is not in the mansion." ”

Qin Minxue was sent away like this, Qin Minxue was a little unwilling, but he thought that after all, he came from the capital, no matter how he said that if the king of the county was in the house, the guards would not dare not report it, he returned to his residence, and the entourage reported to him, Wang Bi and King Ying were out of the city, but the others were still there, and Wang Bi did not bring much luggage, Qin Minxue estimated that they did not go far, and instructed his entourage to watch carefully,

Wang next to others also just arrived in Shaozhou, after entering Guangnan Road, Wang next to the mood is much more relaxed, walked for more than ten days, Su Xiaomei and Zhao Zhongzhen are a little tired, Wang next to the prepared to stay in Shaozhou for a few days, they found a look in the mid-range but clean shop, just live in Zhongzhen and clamored to go to Nanhua Temple, Nanhua Temple is more than 20 miles away from Shaozhou, if you want to go to the incense, it will take two days, Chen Kang and Mr. Hou grinned, now set off tonight to go up the mountain into the temple to spend the night, tomorrow morning incense and come back, these people are tired all the way, not to mention that Chen Kang is still lame,

Seeing that Zhong Zhen insisted on going, Wang arranged for Hou Shuxian and Chen Kang to rest in the mansion, and Wa Zhuang stayed to take care of these two; Zhi Kejun and other entourages followed them, secretly protected, and asked Su Xiao again, seeing that Su Xiao's face was pale, and he frowned to shirk his physical discomfort, women are trouble, of course Wang Fang understood, so he didn't specially invite Su Xiao to accompany Zhong Zhen out of the city to Nanhua Temple,

A few of them just arrived at the foot of the Nanhua Zen Temple, suddenly saw a large group of people on the opposite side, this team of people and horses looks like one or two hundred people, the people who walk in the front are different from ordinary people, ordinary people will get off the horse under the mountain, and then go up the mountain on foot, the mountain is naturally on foot, and one of the leaders of this team is riding a horse proudly, he is also followed by two guards wearing the clothes of a soldier general, and there are one or two hundred guards behind him,

Seeing this group of people, Zhong Zhen hurriedly flashed behind Wang Bei, nervously tugging on Wang Bei's clothes, lowering his head and not daring to come out, fortunately, Zhang Ping and Han Derong, who were secretly protecting them, walked over, and three sturdy men blocked Zhao Zhongzhen, seeing this pair of people walking in front of him, Zhong Zhen took a long breath, pulled his chest and said: "Scared me to death, scared me to death." ”

Seeing Zhong Zhen's nervous expression, Wang Jian carefully recalled the appearance of the person just now, and described it as somewhat similar to Zhao Shu, and looking at this person's clothing and behavior, the pomp and circumstance of the trip also looked like a prince: "Who is this person, I don't know." ”

Zhao Zhongzhen said in shock: "He is the king of Handong County, my uncle, he rarely goes to the capital, it is normal that you don't know him, even I rarely see him." The king couldn't help asking, "Then what are you nervous about, are you afraid that he will recognize you?" ”

There are few pedestrians on the road, the team has gone away, a few people next to the king walked to the Nanhua Temple, Zhong Zhen said to the king while walking: "Can I not be nervous, although I see him less, but I have just met during the New Year, what if he recognizes me and wants to send me back." ”

Wang said with a smile: "If someone sends you back, I will be relieved, but just now, he saw the spring breeze proudly, and with such a wrong body, I am afraid he may not recognize you, not to mention who would have thought that you would be in Shaozhou." After he finished speaking, seeing that Zhong Zhen was silent in thought, Wang Bei thought to himself that this kid had a lot of ideas, so he said that all the way south, Zhong Zhen didn't mention anything about returning to Beijing, I really don't know what he was thinking.

Nanhua Temple is built according to the mountain, the peaks and peaks are beautiful, the ancient trees are lush, the two people of the king next to the middle needle enter the mountain gate, there are the monks who know the guest to come forward and salute, the king is now experienced, modern people go to the temple as a tourist attraction, and the ancients went to the temple although there is an element of travel in it, but there are many things to pray and pray sincerely, and there are monks in the temple who are responsible for arranging the accommodation of the pilgrims, the king explains the intention, the monk promised to help them arrange a rest of the meditation room, at this time it has passed noon, the pilgrims are very quiet in the Zen courtyard, the king and the needle out of the meditation room, take a walk in the Zen temple to appreciate this thousand-year-old temple,

Behind the Caoxi Gate of the temple, it is the release pool, pass through the Baolin Gate to the Tianwang Palace, the center of the hall is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha statue, the back is molded Wei Dao statue, and the two sides are molded with the statues of the four heavenly kings; Walk to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is a platform in front of the hall, the corridor around it, the front of the hall is molded with three Buddha statues, the appearance is solemn, the left and right two walls and the back wall are clay sculptures painted five hundred Arhat statues, the god is strange, the six ancestors in the hall see the real body of the six ancestors Huineng master lifelike, only to see the six ancestors Huineng knot sitting, the legs and feet are coiled in the robe, the hands are stacked in front of the abdomen to make a fixed shape, the eyes are closed, the face is thin, showing a transcendent temperament of self-enlightenment,

Two people worshiped the six ancestors Hui Neng out of the main hall, walked to the temple, there is a Zhuo Xi spring on the right, see the spring water is clear, the king will tell Zhong Zhen that the legend is that the six ancestors Hui Neng often washed the shelf here, Zhao Zhong Needle glanced at the king next to him, smiled and said: "I used to only think that Brother Wang would be the best at financial management, and today I walked with you, only to know that Brother Wang also knows how to worship the Buddha, it is better to let me test you, how about it, if you answer correctly, then from today I will listen to you everything; If you don't answer correctly, ~~~" He deliberately didn't say and waited for the king's answer,

This kid estimates what tricks he has, bet with this kid, in case he really becomes the emperor one day, if he doesn't want to listen to himself, he doesn't want to die, but seeing that this kid seems to have something on his mind along the way, it is better to listen to what he wants to do, the king smiled and said: "If you don't answer right, then I'll listen to you." ”

"Okay." Zhong Zhen folded the fan in his hand and patted it: "I have to come to Nanhua Temple today, one is to pray for my Great Song Dynasty national fortune, and the other is to visit the six ancestors Huineng Zen Master. There is a side of the six ancestors in the "Six Patriarchs Altar Sutra", which is mentioned here. ”

If there is nothing in this world that archaeology can stump the king, not to mention that the proverb is very famous, the king thought about it, since he wants to lose, he can't say it right, so he deliberately said wrongly: "Is this sentence, the body is like a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust?",

Zhong Zhen really didn't notice that Wang was deliberate, he said proudly: "Brother Wang, you remember wrong, this is his senior brother's side, what the six ancestors said is: Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the original, where to stir up dust, now you admit defeat or not." ”

Wang Beigan laughed twice and pretended to be embarrassed: "Yes, the Bodhi tree is empty, the mirror platform is also empty, the body and mind are empty, and there is nothing in the first place, how can it cause dust?" It seems that King Ying's meditation is more thorough, I admit defeat, you say what you want me to do. ”

Zhong Zhen stood still, looked at the king's side, and said his thoughts as if he had made up his mind for a while: "If you really listen to me, I want you to go back to the capital with me and ask my father for a decree to attack Western Xia." "Zhong Zhen came to Wang Bian this time, he had long wanted Wang Bian to go back to the capital with him, he always felt that Wang Bian's resignation was dissatisfied with his father, if Wang Bian was willing to go back with him, it would be good if Wang Bian was willing to go back with him, and Zhao Zhongzhen felt that Wang Bian was an excellent candidate for attacking Western Xia.

Wang Bi also knew that if the court officials refused to accept it, it would not be a fault in the Song Dynasty, but if he and Zhongzhen went back, then he would continue to obey Yingzong, not to mention that he didn't want to fight Xixia at all, in his heart, whether it was a Xixia or a Liao person, it was a countryman, of course, this is the idea of modern people, but how could he persuade Zhao Zhongzhen and not let him feel that he was prevaricating, he thought about it and said: "Zhongzhen, do you know why your father didn't send troops to clash with Western Xia head-on." ”

Zhao Zhongzhen thought for a while: "I think my father is a little cowardly, and most of the people in the court are civil officials, even if there is a war, there are no military generals to send." ”

Wang Bi shook his head: "Zhongzhen, you are your father...... emperor"

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes widened, Wang Bi and his father have always had some gaps, why did he suddenly favor his father,
