Chapter 159: The Imperial Plaque
Qixia Mountain, known as Setshan in ancient times. In the Southern Dynasty, the hermit monk Shao built a house as a temple, called Qixia Jingshe. Later, the son of Zhidu Zen Master and Ming monk Shao officially called the Buddha a temple. Nowadays, the imperial court vigorously advocates the cause of Buddhism in Jinling, so the Buddhism in Shangyuan County is extremely prosperous. This Qixia Jingshe is also known as the Temple of Merit, which is located at the foot of Qixia Mountain.
On this day, the Shangyuan Festival, should have been extremely lively, but a large group of people went out of Shangyuan County and came to Qixia Mountain.
After half a year of construction, the road leading to Qixia Mountain has also been repaired, and two carriages can be used in parallel to go straight to the middle of the mountain. Bounded by Mingjing Lake, there is the Qingxin Academy.
A group of 100 people in Wuqing either rode horses, or took a carriage, toured the scenery all the way, passed through the merit temple, went up all the way, the mountain was gentle, and it was not steep.
Wu Qing rode a horse and saw a group of monks in robes walking towards him in front of the Temple of Merit, and couldn't help but restrain the sweaty horse, and then jumped off the horse, waiting for the arrival of the monks.
After the senior monk and the others approached, they clasped their hands together and said, "Dare to ask the donor, but it is Wuqing Wu Gongzi." ”
Wu Qing clasped his hands together and said, "It's just here, I don't know what happened to the master?" ”
The senior monk recited the Buddha's name again and said: "The poor monk merit temple presided, the three phases, this is polite." ”
Wu Qing was depressed and asked the monk what was going on, but he didn't say anything, what did he mean by seeing the ceremony. Wu Qing had no choice but to return the salute and said, "I've seen the three-phase mage." ”
The Temple of Merit is the birthplace of the Three Treatise Sect, so this Temple of Merit is also quite famous in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Qing still knows a little, but today the Qingxin Academy opens, he has to go, and from today on, he will live in the Qingxin Academy, devote himself to cultivating internal skills, and improve the theory of science. Forge your own path.
Master Sanxiang was obviously very useful, and said, "Today's Gongzi went up the mountain, I'm afraid it's the day of the opening of the Qingxin Academy." ”
Wu Qing nodded and said, "Master Hui, that's exactly the case." ”
Master Sanxiang looked at Wu Qing, and then said: "The poor monk congratulates his son, opens the door of ten thousand laws, establishes the way of the world, and educates the world, with immeasurable merits. Amitabha! ”
"Amitabha! Master Xie's auspicious words. "Wu Qing didn't dare to slack off, although he was not very interested in Buddhism. And I am very disgusted with the theory of reincarnation on the other side of Buddhism. But scholarship is academic, and these masters represent a school of thought, and the depth of their Dharma is admirable.
The three-phase mage turned and left, and it was not until he entered the temple that Wu Qing got on his horse. Keep going.
In just half an hour, everyone came to the mirror lake adjacent to the temple of merit. I saw that the lake water was crystal clear. The fish swim happily in the water, and the surface of the lake resembles a mirror, as its name suggests.
There is a small island in the middle of the lake, Wu Qing pointed to the island and said: "Another day, I invited a craftsman to build a pavilion on the island in the middle of the lake." In my spare time, it is a good place to drink tea and fish. ”
Wu Da next to him agreed, and naturally wrote it down.
Everyone walked around the lake, and when they reached the other side of the lake, they saw a mountain gate standing. But there was no plaque, Wu Qing was stunned, could it be that Lu Zhaolin forgot about it? Turning around and looking back, Lu Zhaolin and his family were sitting in a carriage.
Suddenly, a hurried voice shouted: "The holy decree has arrived, Wuqing has taken it!" ”
Wu Qing was stunned, how could there be a holy decree at this time? He hasn't received an order for a long time, and he must burn incense and bathe in order to receive an order, so do you want to take it here? But when he saw three messengers coming on fast horses, he panted and said, "Where is Wuqing?" Where is Wu Qing? ”
Wu Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Wu Qing is here." ”
A messenger in the middle said: "The emperor has a will, Wuqing kneels to receive it." ”
"Grass people Wuqing kneels to receive the holy decree!" Wu Qing said loudly, and everyone around him also knelt down. The holy decree came, although it was Wuqing who received the decree, but the holy decree was like the emperor coming in person, if everyone else was standing, it would be disrespectful, and it would be killed.
"I heard that Aiqing was self-disciplined in Shangyuan, and observed the suffering of the people, although he was degraded but had no complaints, I was very relieved in my heart, and there was a county order Lu Zhaolin who said that Aiqing could donate family resources, build a new academy, educate the people of Shangyuan, study the way of governing the country, and give a plaque, hoping that Aiqing can preach and teach and educate the people on behalf of me. Chin this. ”
After the envoy finished reading, Wu Qing hurriedly bowed down and said loudly: "The emperor's grace is vast, thank you Emperor Longen, long live, long live, long live!" ”
At this time, two messengers came to Wu Qing with a plaque, Wu Qing saw that it was the handwriting of Gaozong Li Zhi, Wu Qing bowed, and then said loudly: "Where is Wu Da!" ”
Wu Da was already waiting beside him, and said loudly: "The little one is here!" ”
Wu Qing said: "Burn incense and bathe, play music!" ”
In a moment, the drum music played, the blasting rod was put up without money, and the servants in the academy had already hung up the ribbons and red lanterns, and they were full of joy, and with the drum music, eighteen lions danced in front of the door.
Wu Qing recruited He Zhizhang and other students, respectfully covered the plaque with red silk, and then carried it into the academy. Wu Qing walked up to the envoy and arched his hand: "Dare to ask what the envoy is called?" ”
The messenger said, "Do you call me Gao Gonggong?" ”
Wu Qing said with a smile: "Gao Gong, go to the academy to serve tea and rest for a while, and when the academy holds a ceremony, how about the grass people accompany the three of Gao Gong to have a drink?" ”
Gao Gonggong's eyes suddenly lit up, this young man really knows how to be a man, no wonder the queen likes it, so he said: "Childe is really a wonderful person, okay, let's run all the way, and we are indeed tired, let's rest for a while." ”
So Wu Qing ordered people to arrange the three envoys to the academy house, so that people could serve them well. At this time, the old lady got out of the carriage, came to Wu Qing's side, and said: "This must be what your aunt wants, you have to remember it, and repay her in the future." ”
Wu Qing was ashamed in his heart, although he scoffed at the old lady's words, but at this moment he had no choice but to say: "Mother, the child knows."
Lu Zhaolin accompanied his wife Huang to ask for peace from the Wu family, who was the lady of the three-rank Decree Country, while the Huang family was only the Seven-Rank Lady of the Decree.
After seeing the ceremony, Lu Zhaolin said to Wu Qing: "If the emperor gives a plaque today, this Qingxin Academy can be regarded as famous all over the world, and it will be spread all over the world in less than a month." ”
Wu Qing gave a deep salute and said: "Thanks to Lu Gong's heart, now that the academy is about to open, in my opinion, the first dean will be served by Lu Gong." ”
Lu Zhaolin's heart moved, to be honest, he was very willing, but he was a county magistrate, and he couldn't handle government affairs every day, so he didn't have that much energy, so he sighed and said: "Unless I resign from this official, I really don't have that energy, this first dean, you are a talented man of Wuda, don't be modest." ”
Wu Qing smiled: "Okay, let me think so, I am the first dean, Lu Gong and Zi'an are the deputies, what do you think?" ”
"Zenya!" Lu Zhaolin was overjoyed, and Wang Bo was also overjoyed. (To be continued......)
