Sheng Yun's original intention was just to tease Huang Wan, but he didn't expect Huang Wan to reply with his hand: "The barbarians are chaotic in China, and the responsibility is in the sky." After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and Sheng Yun was greatly surprised.

Huang Wan was later gradually promoted to the middle general of the five senses, and was treated by Guangluxun Chen Fan. In the old system, the Guanglu Department recommended the three Lang, and those who had high merit, long-term service, talent, and virtue were the four branches of Maocai, but at that time, most of the children of the powerful and rich were recommended as Lang because of their favors, and the poor and disciplined people were abandoned. Kyoto Luoyang specially made a proverb for this phenomenon: "If you can't get it, you can only be rich." So Huang Wan and Chen Fan worked together to elect talents.

Liu Alcohol in the Plains, Zhu Shan in Hedong, Yin Shen in Shu County and others are all distinguished by their talents and virtues. However, this move infringed on the interests of the powerful and wealthy sons Lang Guan, so they jointly slandered Chen Fan and Huang Wan, and the cases of the two were handed over to Wang Chang and Diao Wei, the servants of the Imperial History. Wang Chang and Diao Wei have always respected Chen Fan and Huang Wan, so they will not rectify the matter, but the people around and left have framed Huang Wan, Wang Chang and others as friends. Wang Chang was demoted to Yilang due to his father Wang Gong's relationship, while Chen Fan was dismissed, and Huang Wan and Diao Wei were imprisoned.

Huang Wan was imprisoned for nearly 20 years. Until the end of Emperor Guanghe, Taiwei Yang Ci recommended Huang Wan to have the talent to control the chaos, so the imperial court recruited him as a councilor, and was appointed as the assassin of Qingzhou, and moved to the middle of the service. In the early years of Zhongping, he served as the right Fufeng, and entered the court as a general craftsman, a young man, a servant and other officials. After the imperial court restored the state pastoral system, with Huang Wan as the state pastor, when thieves were rampant, the state border withered, Huang Wan attacked to pacify the thieves, and the prestige was shocked. His incumbent political achievements are exemplary in the world, so he was given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Later, Dong Zhuo Bingzheng, because Huang Wan was a famous minister. He was recruited into the court as Situ, and soon moved to Taiwei. Enter the township of Fengyangquan. Dong Zhuo discussed moving the capital to Chang'an, and Huang Wan and Situ Yang Biao jointly advised Dong Zhuo unsuccessfully. After retreating from the dynasty, he refuted and said: "In the past, the Zhou public construction of Luoyi made the Ji family stable. Emperor Guangwu's divination in the eastern capital is to prosper the Han Dynasty, which is the inspiration of the heavens and the reason why the gods are stable. The great cause is stability, how can we move casually and lose hope from all over the world?"

At that time, people were afraid that under Dong Zhuo's anger, Huang Wan would be killed, and strongly advised him not to do this. Huang Wan replied: "In the past, Bai Gongsheng made chaos in the Chu State, and Qu Lu moved forward; Cui Zhu killed the monarch in the Qi country, and Yan Ying was not afraid of death and did not ally with it. Although I am not virtuous, I do admire the festival of the ancients. Huang Wan was later exonerated for this reason. Dong Zhuo still values his name and virtue of the old family. Don't dare to do harm. Later, he worshiped Dr. Guanglu with Yang Biao, until Guan Yu conspired with Situ Wang Yun to kill Dong Zhuo. Huang Wan was once again enabled by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and once again assumed the position of Situ, Huang Wan's career can be described as ups and downs, but this time he stood up again, as an old minister Huang Wan's influence in the court is still quite good

There are also the right middle Lang General, Xixiang Hou Zhu Jun, Uncle Dong Cheng, Taifu Sima Yu, Taichang Qing Chongfu, Taifu Lu Kui, Da Honglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen Captain Cui Lie, Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Qi These people are all loyal and righteous people of the imperial court, and Chong Gao, Lu Kui, Zhou Huan and others are all Jiuqing, and they have great energy, so if they get the unanimous support of these, it is much easier to deal with Yang Yi and the host of the White Horse Temple, the Modern Archmage, and even Yang Biao behind them. The ministers in the court helped to speak, and he held the military power again, Guan Yu believed that he would succeed in achieving his goal, and this time he would carry out a big rectification in the political field. Thoroughly rectify the atmosphere in Luoyang, and in addition to this, it is necessary to bring a group of lawbreakers to justice.

After Guan Yu made up his mind, he decided to visit the White Horse Temple in person to explore the truth and grasp the first-hand information for the future actions. Henan Yin's matter can only be put aside for the time being, and Guan Yu's account will have to be settled sooner or later. But now the most important thing for him is to take a look at the problem of the White Horse Temple, as the saying goes: "What you get on paper is shallow." I don't know that this matter must be done", this is the relationship between theory and practice, but it is also applicable in the face of this kind of major right and wrong, and if you listen to it, you will hear it in the dark, and he can't just listen to Chen Gong's words and make a decision, this matter is very important, and you must personally visit the White Horse Temple.

Accompanied by Zhou Cang and the little girl, Guan Yu left Luoyang non-stop and went straight to the White Horse Temple, which is located 12 kilometers east of Luoyang City, Henan Province, and is the first government-run temple after Buddhism was introduced to China. It was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty Ming Emperor Yongping 11 years (AD 68), the Eastern Han Dynasty Yongping seven years, the Han Ming Emperor Liu Zhuang because of the night dream of the golden people, sent the Western Regions to worship Buddhism. In 67 A.D., the Han envoy and the two Indian monks Jiaye Moteng and Zhu Falan arrived in Luo with a white horse carrying Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues, and Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty bowed to greet him.

In 68 A.D., Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty decreed to build a monastery outside the Yongmen Gate in Luoyang, in order to remember the merits of the White Horse Sutra, so the name of the monastery is the White Horse Temple. The White Horse Temple is north and south, with a total area of more than 200 acres, and its main buildings are: Tianwang Palace, Big Buddha Palace, Daxiong Hall [2], Receiving Palace, Pilu Pavilion Five-storey Hall and the First Shakya Relic Pagoda.

According to legend, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty slept in the South Palace at night, and the head of the dream gold god released white light and flew around the palace. The next day, he learned that the dream was a Buddha, so he sent envoys Cai Su and Qin Jing to the Western Regions to seek Buddhism. Cai, Qin and others met the Tianzhu (ancient Indian) monks Kash Moten and Zhu Falan in Yueshi (present-day Afghanistan). Cai and Qin invited Buddhist monks to China to preach Buddhism, and carried Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses, trekked through mountains and rivers, and came to the capital Luoyang in the tenth year of Yongping (67). Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty ordered the construction of a temple in the style of Tianzhu. In order to remember the merits of the White Horse Sutra, the temple was named "White Horse Temple". The White Horse Temple is a rectangular courtyard, sitting in the north and facing south, the main buildings in the temple have the Tianwang Palace, the Big Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Palace, the Receiving Palace, the Pilu Pavilion, the Qiyun Pagoda and so on.

The whole temple of the White Horse Temple sits in the north and faces south, and is a long courtyard with a total area of about 40,000 square meters. The main buildings include the Tianwang Palace, the Great Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Receiving Palace, the Pilu Pavilion, etc., all of which are listed on the central axis of the north-south direction. Although it is not the "old style of Xiyi Tianzhu" when it was founded, the temple site has never been moved, so the platform and well of the Han Dynasty are still faintly visible. There are five major halls and four courtyards, as well as east and west wings. The whole temple has a regular layout and a simple style. The ancient trees in the park are shady, and the flowers fall at four o'clock, which adds to the pure atmosphere of the pure land of the Buddha country.

Guan Yu accompanied by Zhou Cang and the little girl, came to the legendary White Horse Temple lightly, and came to the White Horse Temple The scene here made Guan Yu really surprised, but saw that there were a sea of people here, just like a market, the crowd was endless, from the dress point of view, there were rich people and people in cloth clothes, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang, the little girl also mixed in the crowd, and when he entered the White Horse Temple, he was stunned to see everything here, but he saw that the palace-like buildings in the whole temple were tall and majestic, with bright colors and elegant textures, The whole temple is shaded by green trees, the street is paved very elegantly, there are all kinds of strange flowers and plants and strange stone landscapes in the courtyard from time to time, which makes people dizzy, and then inside you see all kinds of artificial fountains come into view, the world of birds and flowers has appeared in front of people.

Guan Yu and Zhou Cang, the little girl placed in it and felt the beauty of the overall layout of the White Horse Temple, this is simply a paradise, or it can be said that it is a fairyland on earth, the scenery is unique, the building is magnificent, the atmosphere and style here make Luoyang City inferior by three points, Guan Yu continued to sigh but saw groups of monks in and out of it, this temple is simply too big, Guan Yu and Zhou Cang passed through one palace after another, back and forth for more than ten miles but still no end, just this peripheral scene makes people forget to return, The biggest experience for Guan Yu here is that the temple is large and has many people, and all kinds of monks can be seen shuttling through it, and they are all walking in batches and on a large scale.

Guan Yu looked at and pondered Chen Gong's words, it seems that what Chen Gong said is not false, this meeting is so big and there are so many people, all of which prove one point, that is, where did you get so much money to build such a magnificent building, such a large manor, and so many monks? One by one, question marks began to appear in Guan Yu's mind, and Guan Yu casually entered a palace after exploring outside.

The threshold of this palace is higher than that of Luoyang Palace, Guan Yu stepped through the first threshold and then the second threshold followed, Guan Yu stepped into the inner hall after a full five thresholds, and after entering the inner hall, he saw a tall Buddha statue in front of him, what a big Buddha! It is like a hill appeared in front of him, in front of the Buddha statue, a stick of incense is towering, there are more than two meters of incense standing in front of him, it is very conspicuous, there are a number of monks standing majestically next to him, all of them are there to make prayers, and there are constantly people going up to the incense, and from time to time throw down the incense money

Guan Yu, Zhou Cang, and the little girl lined up behind the crowd and soon saw the three of them entering the incense, so Guan Yu pulled Zhou Cang and said, "Let's hurry up!" After that, he was about to walk out with Zhou Cang and the little girl, when a voice came: "Donor, slow down!" How can you come to the holy land of Buddhism and leave empty-handed? ”

As soon as Guan Yu heard this, he looked for prestige, but saw a fat monk with a shiny and powdery face stop him, Guan Yu was stunned for a moment, but he immediately returned the salute and said: "I am a person in the world, how can I stay in this pure land for a long time?" Farewell! Seeing this, Guan Yu clenched his fists and was about to move, Zhou Cang hurriedly grabbed Guan Yu and said: "Brother Xiu is impulsive, we don't have to do it for this little thing, I have some silver taels here for him!" ”

Zhou Cang said as he said for the great monk: "Since we came, we may be willing to spend the Buddha's fate, so we walked to the pillar of incense and bought the pillar of incense, Zhou Cang asked the price while taking the money, and asked him for a moment: this pillar of incense actually wants one or two lines of silver, and three sticks of incense are three or two lines of silver!" It's really dark enough, but Zhou Cang still bought three incense sticks and respectfully put them on, and then threw a little silver as a reward, so the three of them barely got out of the hall after throwing away the incense money.
