Chapter 71: The Great Event

Zhao Ta explained all the matters and re-embarked on the journey back to Beijing, this time except for Zhao Xin, who no one dared to marry, there were ten guards who did not need to marry a daughter-in-law such as Wangfu and Xifu and more than 30 guards who had daughters-in-law and gave birth to babies, and the others stayed in Xiangyi for their honeymoon. When they came back this time, they didn't even need to enter the inner city gate, and went directly to the new palace in the West Water Gate, which is bordered by Jinmingchi in the north and Qionglin Yuan in the south, which is a place with excellent scenery, but there are fewer neighbors, except for the restaurant and shop, no one lives next to him.

The new palace is more than twice as large as the old palace, it took eight months to build the courtyard by the Ouchi general, the furniture is from the palace, there are three or four hundred rooms with three spans and four entrances, and the amount of work is not small. Look at the inner courtyard here to break the common architectural pattern in the north, but to imitate the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River to build, pavilions and pavilions are scattered among them, according to the trend of the landscape to build more than a dozen small courtyards, people just like living in the painting.

"Second master, this place is completely built according to the winter garden in Xiangyi Mansion, and the furniture style inside is the same as over there!" Jianxi, who had come back early, led the prince to a tour and led him into a larger courtyard.

"Alas, it's really the same!" Zhao Xin rushed in and went to the various rooms to take a look.

"Alas, it doesn't look like a god, and it doesn't feel like Xiangyi!" Zhao Ta touched the pillar that still smelled of paint, and sighed.

"Second master, this is what the mother ordered, she knows that you have lived in Xiangyi for a long time, so she deliberately imitated this yard over there!" Seeing Xi said, he saw that the prince's face darkened, and he entered the house without saying anything.

After dinner, several high-ranking officials of the royal palace gathered again to listen to reports on the situation during the period after they left Beijing, so as to make early preparations. I don't know what to say, there are a lot of things that happened in Beijing during this time, the demons in and outside the palace danced wildly, and the court and the middle of the court fought openly and secretly, creating several firsts in the history of the Great Song Dynasty!

．．．．．．

Zhao Ji has never been out of Kaifeng City in his life, only read 10,000 books and has not traveled 100 miles, and the palaces built in the past dynasties are nothing more than inlaid with gold and silver, or carved bricks and tiles, all of which are man-made art. Cai Jing was ingenious, he transported Taihu stones from Su and Hu Prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and cleverly embedded them in the palace, and immediately jumped out of the fresh breath in a magnificent, neutral, and rigid state, Zhao Ji had seen these masterpieces of nature, and was fascinated at once, and ordered to set up a special department in the south of the Yangtze River to collect these worthless stones for him. Soon, a trouble found him, in the past few years, through the efforts of the majority of officials, he has accumulated nearly 100,000 stones, so much that the palace can no longer be placed, even if the new Yanfu Palace is still overstretched, his eyes are on the dirt mountain outside the inner city.

Speaking of that dirt mountain, it is a mountain of merit, a mountain of legends, and there is a kind of trouble that is almost common to all human beings, and no one can escape from it, and no one can control it -- that is the problem of heirs. As if Zhao Guangyi's descendants were cursed, it was hard to give birth to a son, and Emperor Zhenzong, Emperor Renzong, and Emperor Zhezong all took a big heel on the issue of sons, affecting the national economy and people's livelihood. It's Zhao Ji's turn, the problem still exists, before he ascended to Dabao, he had more than 40 wives and concubines, but none of them were angry, but at that time it was just a personal problem, and it was different when he became the emperor, so it rose to the problem of the country!

Zhao Ji's daily work is in addition to the office of the court, and he returns to the harem to work overtime, but there is not much movement. In the crisis, good luck came, and the living immortal Taoist priest Liu Mingkang took a turn inside and outside Kaifeng, and said to him that as long as the land in the northeast corner of the capital was raised, the princes would be born in batches. Things are so supernatural, since the terrain in the northeast corner has become higher, the concubines in the harem suddenly became pregnant collectively, and really gave birth to a series of boys, and now the living, the dead, and Zhao Ta, who is half dead and alive, are included, not counting girls, there are already more than 20 of them, and there is no need to find outsiders to organize football matches.

In order to express his gratitude to Taoism, and in order to make his son more abundant, Zhao Ji ordered to double the northeast corner of the capital that had been raised, so that it would become a mountain, and then lengthened it into a mountain range, and move all his stones there. Because it is the current emperor for the successor of the emperor to repair, so named Long Live Mountain, because it is located in the northeast corner, to the innate gossip direction calculation, is the "Gen" position, so the nickname Gen Yue.

The mountain is ready-made, but if it is decorated, it is not very easy, everyone knows that the decoration of the road is in the house one by one to paste a hundred yuan bills, and some places have to paste two to three layers, it is simply more fierce than the affair. With Zhao Ji's artistic taste, with the humanistic essence of the Song Dynasty, and with the abundance of production in the land of China, can the decoration of Genyue be imagined? This is simply the power of the whole country to build a mountain of the dead country, and the 'Lafayette' who used military funds to repair the garden in later generations can have two tricks with him! …,

Another major event is the rapid rise of Taoist priest Lin Lingsu, who stepped onto the altar of the Great Song Dynasty, and also responded to Zhao Ta's sentence that a traitor must have a genius, you think that a wild Taoist priest who has no foundation wandering around with a mouth, it only took less than a year to make the prime minister who has dominated the court for more than ten years feel in crisis, and want to get rid of it quickly, how powerful it is.

After Lin Lingsu gained the trust of the emperor, he used Cai Jing to get rid of Wang Zixi and take charge of Baorong Palace, and then he used Shangqing Baoqi Palace as a base, often held fasting Jiao, and gave a large amount of alms every time, using tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy people's hearts with money, and made an indelible contribution to the prevalence of Taoism in the country. Then he used the opportunity of the Taoist priest to set up the rank to win the interests of all the Taoist brothers and unite them tightly around him.

Now that they have the power, when the Taoist priests see the officials, they don't have to bow their heads, which is not only a courtesy, but also a surprise. Power is money, Taoist priests in all parts of the country to overhaul the Shenxiao Palace, the palace envoys are no longer part-time officials, are held by the brothers in the sect, so the rich wages of the palace view are into the small treasury. The last is the ultimate privilege. No matter who commits any crime, in addition to being anti-Song, anti-dictatorial and anti-hereditary, as long as he joins Taoism, he will immediately be reborn and become a new person.

In addition, to the officials and people in the capital to pass the degree of 'Yuqing Shenxiao Fu Gong', the Fu is the proof of entering the Tao, Lin Lingsu promised to be an official to get it, the official career is safe; those who read get it, the title of the gold list; the people get it, the house is safe; those who do business are prosperous, anyway, this thing is like a panacea, there is a cure for disease, there is no disease prevention, the infertile can give birth to a baby, and the baby can give birth to three, in short, there is no harm. Under the strong promotion of Master Lin and the strong support of the emperor, the officials and people of the capital generally prayed to the Tao, and the lights in the palace were bright. This is exactly Zhao Ji's dream, and the trend of seeking truth and faith has finally become popular!

Then Lin Lingsu did another shocking thing, he actually publicly overturned the case for the old party of Yuanyou, kowtowed to the monument of the emperor's imperial pen in front of the emperor, and called them immortals in the sky. He dared to do this, not only to find out the emperor's pulse, but also to consolidate his position, and to pat the sycophants of Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan.

Liang's father-in-law already knew the way, recognized Su Shi as his father, and asked his 'brother' Su Guo to admit that Shicheng's biological mother was Su Shi's concubine. Tong Guan also wanted to recognize a celebrity father, but his reputation was not very good, so he first discussed with Han Cuiyan, the son of the famous minister Han Qi, but failed; He also had a heartfelt conversation with Wang Zhonghong, the son of the former prime minister of the former Yuanyou Party magnate Wang Qi, and then became the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Wang. Of course, when the son doesn't want his father to be a criminal minister, after several efforts, the emperor didn't spit out, but now he let Lin Lingsu do it, of course, the gratitude of the two is like the water of the Yellow River, and the three of them formed an alliance!

And the emperor's drunken words caused Lin Lingsu's murderous intention, Zhao Ji said, "When he was in the sky, he looked at the dense bald head on the ground, and even wore a robe, a crown, a tin staff and other things. He immediately recalled the unpleasant experience of being a monk when he was a young man, being abused by his master, and being coldly looked down upon by the monks for begging.

First, the leading body has been changed, the management body has been changed to the Monk Division, the left and right street records have been changed to the Ethics Institute, and the Ethics Department is subordinate to the Ethics Institute, which has been downgraded by one level from the root; Then change the name of the monk to be called Deshi, the nun to be called a female deshi, the Buddha to be called Jin Xian, the Bodhisattva to be called an immortal, the Arhat to be called Wuxuan, the Vajra to be called a wrestler, and the Sangha to be called Xiushan, and according to this, change the degree; The clothes must also be changed, the crown follows the Taoist flow, changed to the appearance of a semi-Taoist priest, and even the enshrined Buddha statue must be changed, and the star crown must be worn on the head, but there is no sun, moon and star pattern, just a dark hat. But this hat is not easy to wear, who made them bald, but this is difficult for the majority of monks, they all put on wigs in order to survive, combed into a bun on the wig, pinned a hairpin, and then strangled it around the neck with a belt, and it is okay to see it from a distance, and it is not easy to see. The Buddha has been destroyed more than once in previous dynasties, but the monks wear Taoist clothes, which is the first in Chinese history and even in the history of the world!

．．．．．．

In the early stage of the Taoist activities, Cai Jing, Cai You father and son are also one of the initiators, leading the trend, selecting talents, several main roles can be said to be inextricably linked to him, Wang Laozhi, Wang Zaixi, Zhang Xubai are all recommended by him. The obedient ones are used, and the disobedient ones are finished immediately, it can be said that everything they do is in Cai Jing's hands, and these immortals with infinite scenery in front of people are actually chess pieces in his hands.

But now, Lin Lingsu is full of wings, and he wants to dump the Cai family father and son, draw a line with him, and set up another mountain. Taishi Cai was very angry: You are an unlocked bicycle on the side of the road, you can ride it when you say it, and throw it away when you say it, you must let you know whether the old man is a tiger or a cat! So there was a spark between the famous traitor in history and the famous demon in history............
