A minister next to him immediately questioned: "King Dong, you said that Your Majesty is participating in Zen meditation, you are participating in Zen?" Who will believe this kind of thing? We're going to go in and see Majesty, but if we don't see Majesty, don't want us to leave! ”

With this call, many people are surging. Originally, some people who were still mediocre, when they heard Han Jian's excuse of being so "clumsy", they all felt that they were being teased by Dongwangfu, and they were dizzy for a while, and they also shouted.

This shout made one of the people present particularly anxious. It's not Gu Weipan, it's Lin Ke.

Lin Ke is one of the few people who knows the inside story and knows that the empress is not in Jiangdu. No matter what Han Jian said now, he felt that stability was the first priority, and his life was chaotic, and it was not the Dongwang Mansion that suffered, but the officials of the imperial court.

At most, the Dongwang Mansion will take down all the officials who made trouble and ask them for the crime, and then they can continue to lie that the empress is sick, and it doesn't matter whether there are real Luoyang faction people in the imperial court.

"Don't you believe me?" Han Jian suddenly asked.

"Don't believe it!" There were many officials who stood up, if it weren't for the fact that Han Jian was surrounded by guards from the Eastern Palace, they would have pounced on Han Jian and fought hard.

Han Jian nodded slightly and said, "Since you don't believe it, then find a few people and follow this king to meet Your Majesty." But because His Majesty has made it clear that no one can disturb at will, so there can't be too many people who go, Gu Taifu, Lin Shangshu, you can find a few people to go with. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, he turned around and walked back.

Gu Weipan and Lin Ke glanced at each other, both a little inexplicable, they didn't quite know Han Jian's intentions.

They knew very well that it was impossible to find the Empress at the moment, and Han Jian asked them to find a few people to accompany them to meet the Empress. The heart said that Han Jian was ready to play the original place again, saying a few words through the screen, and passing the test in confusion?

Gu Weipan was very cautious and didn't know how to choose the people who traveled with him. And the officials in the back, all of them are not ready to fall behind, and they all want to verify with their own eyes whether they can see the empress before they are willing. Lin Ke originally planned to find a few people who were old and knowledgeable, but after choosing for a long time, none of them appreciated it, and they all wanted to see it in person.

"Dongwang, you are ......" Lin Ke came over to complain to Han Jian. Road. "This man...... It's really hard to choose. ”

"If it's not a good choice, go together, but you can't go in too many people, and you can't make a lot of noise. Who is noisy. It is disrespectful to His Majesty. The king could not be appeased. Han Jian said coldly.

Lin Ke hurriedly conveyed Han Jian's meaning to those officials. Hearing Han Jian say this, the officials of the imperial court calmed down a little. Originally, some wanted to mix in and sow discord, but they didn't dare to say anything at the moment. I want to see the situation before making plans.

Soon, the Chengdong Mansion had been completely quiet before.

Han Jian got on the horse and rode in front of him: "Go." ”

At this time, the officials followed Han Jian's horse and marched towards the west of the city.

Han Song was very anxious and didn't know what to say to Han Jian, and at this time, Han Jian didn't communicate with her at all. She also healed the carriage first, and walked with the team in the direction of the west of the city.

When the group reached the outskirts of the outer city in the west of the city, Han Jian's horse suddenly stopped. Then a large group of soldiers came out, and an open space was encircled.

The situation became tense, Lin Ke saw that there was a woodland around, and there was no Buddhist temple and place to participate in Zen, and said in his heart, Could it be that the Dongwang Mansion was going to find a secluded place where no one was going to kill?

Lin Ke was panicking and guessing that Han Jian had already jumped off the horse and pulled out his sword by the way.

"East King...... If you are good at talking, you should dissipate your anger first. Lin Ke hurriedly stepped forward to say peace.

Han Jian glanced at Lin Ke coldly and said, "Lin Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lin Ke leaned over and asked in a low voice, "King Dong, you have something to say." These people ...... They are also the pillars of the Wei Dynasty, and even if the Eastern King does not need it, he may not need it...... Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

Han Jian sneered: "Lin Shangshu thinks that this king is preparing to kill people and destroy his mouth? How many people followed along the way? Isn't this king scolding the world for killing people for this? ”

"That'...... Your Royal Highness the East King, ......," Lin Ke asked with an uncertain expression.

"Isn't there a Taoist temple over there?" Han Jian pointed to the depths of the dense forest.

Lin Ke followed Han Jian's gaze, and sure enough, behind the woods, there seemed to be a courtyard wall. If you look closely, it is indeed the layout of the Taoist temple, but it is not the Buddhist temple that Han Jian said before.

"His Royal Highness the King of the East is saying, Your Majesty...... Inside the Taoist temple? Lin Ke was overjoyed, and said in his heart, could he really have found it?

"Who said that if the exterior is a Taoist temple, it must be on the inside? Maybe it's a Buddhist temple inside? Han Jian suddenly said secretly.

Lin Ke was at a loss when he heard this, after all, he was from Luoyang, and he didn't know much about the situation in Jiangdu.

Jiangdu is located north of the Yangtze River, which is already very close to the south where Buddhism is advocated. In Jiangdu City, there has always been no shortage of people who believe in Buddhism, originally Jiangdu also banned Buddha according to the code of the Wei Dynasty, but after Han Song's governance, because of Han Song's generosity, some women's benevolence, the Buddhist grass that has been banned for a period of time is difficult to prohibit, and the people complain among themselves, so they put the ban on Buddha for the time being.

As a result, there are always Buddhist people spreading the teachings in the city of Jiangdu. And some secret Buddhist locations, usually in a family ancestral hall or in a Taoist temple, are often sold with sheep's heads on their heads. And the Taoist temple that Han Jian refers to, in fact, is also a Buddhist temple inside, occasionally during Buddhist festivals, there will be incense here, but there are few people in ordinary times, after all, worshipping Buddha in the Wei Dynasty is also a matter of prohibition, and many people dare not do it blatantly.

"Let's go." Han Jian carried his sword and walked forward, and the guards had already opened the way in advance.

Lin Ke thought about it, and looked back at Gu Weipan and the other court ministers, although they didn't know what to do, they still followed behind.

The rest of the ministers also followed, and when they arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple, Han Jian, who was walking in front, also stopped.

"Whoever makes a lot of noise again, don't blame this king for being ruthless under the sword!" Han Jian snorted coldly.

The presence was quiet, the door of the Taoist temple was closed, and it was not clear what was going on inside.

Han Jian stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Han Jian suddenly inserted his sword into the crack of the door, and actually began to pry the door.

The officials outside were a little surprised when they saw that Han Jian was seriously priing the latch with a sword, but they didn't know what Han Jian was doing, so they had to wait and see.

It took Han Jian a long time to pry the door open, and with a creaky sound of the door of the Taoist temple, the situation in the courtyard also came into everyone's eyes.

There was a large incense burner in the courtyard, and there was a lot of incense burning on it, and the officials knew that what they were smelling in their mouths and noses was the smell of the incense burner. The Taoist temple was quiet, as if there was no one, Han Jian walked inside, stopped again, turned around and motioned to the officials, let them wait outside, and only a few officials were allowed to enter together, as well as Han Song.

Han Jian stopped in the courtyard for a while, sighed softly, and then continued to walk forward, and a few people followed Han Jian's footsteps to the front of the hall, and when they looked inside, they realized that it was not a Taoist temple, but a golden Buddha statue. Several monks dressed in monk's robes were visiting the Buddha, and everyone knew that this was a nunnery.

Han Jian strode into the nunnery, and several bhikshunis who were still visiting the Buddha were still facing away from the door. However, as Han Jian approached, some people had already heard the movement and got up to check, but the only one in front was still kneeling on the ground, chanting Buddhist scriptures and knocking on the wooden fish.

The first person knew from the back that it was a woman, but she was dressed in a gray monk's robe and had a hat on her head, but black hair could be faintly seen from the edge of the hat, which meant that the woman was not shaved.

This bhikshuni seemed to be more focused on chanting sutras than others, and after Han Jian stopped, the others didn't dare to come forward to disturb them, so they could only wait for the bhikshuni to finish reciting the sutras first.

At this time, the atmosphere in the nunnery was a little strange, except for the bhikshuni, all the other bhikshunis had already stood up and stood neatly on the side, reciting the Buddha's name with one palm in their mouths. Han Jian was waiting in the direction of the door with a sword, and the people after Han Jian looked at the front from time to time, trying to see clearly.

It wasn't until after a stick of incense that the bhikshuni finished reciting the Buddhist scriptures that he slowly stood up, turned his head and showed his face, except for Han Jian and Han Song, the rest of the people had all knelt on the ground, and said "My Emperor......

Han Jian looked at the empress in front of him, he hadn't seen her for more than half a year, her facial contours were as clear as before, but her face had a sense of vicissitudes of understanding everything in the world, standing there, not angry and arrogant, but also a little bit of immortal wind and bones that were beyond the world.

Beautiful as before, Han Jian also had a few different feelings in his heart.

"See Your Majesty." Han Jian just bowed.

And Han Song also hurriedly bowed.

The empress shook her head slightly, as if she was a little helpless about Han Jian's arrival, but she also faced it calmly, handed the bath to the bhikshuni on the side, and slowly stepped forward.

"King Dong, why did you bring people to disturb the cultivation of people outside the world?" The Empress asked, in a gentle voice.

Han Jian heard that the empress didn't even call herself "I", which showed that the empress was really letting go. At this time, Han Jian had nothing to say except emotion in his heart.

Then, the empress looked at the crowd behind Han Fitness and said, "Get up." ”

At this time, Gu Weipan and others got up from the ground, but some hypocritical ministers did not get up, and kept wiping their tears and crying there, expressing their "longing" for the empress, while talking about the current situation around Luoyang, as if they were complaining, but they were urging the empress to come out and preside over the overall situation to recover Luoyang City.

Han Jian did not "go along with these ministers", but stood aside and watched these people "act".

Han Songshi came over and asked with some surprise, "Jian'er, what's wrong with you...... Know that Your Majesty is here? ”

Han Jian shook his head slightly, and said, "I didn't know before, but it was only in the past few days that I got the exact news. Who would have thought that His Majesty was hiding in Jiangdu City, and it was in a Buddhist temple in Jiangdu City? ”

Han Songshi sighed, things were indeed a bit beyond imagination. With her understanding of the empress, she couldn't have imagined that as the empress of the Ninety-Five, who was born in an orthodox Taoist education, she would start believing in Buddhism in her thirties. And since she disappeared, she has never stepped out of Jiangdu City, and has been staying in Jiangdu City, coldly watching the war that Jiangdu has experienced for more than half a year.
