The so-called gradual process means to gradually change some irrational systems, laws, and concepts, rather than imposing them on people overnight. Over the years, all kinds of privileged ideas have been deeply rooted in people's bones, and many people do not see anything wrong with their practices, and even those who have been harmed by these practices do not feel that they are inappropriate. Among all the privileges, the first thing Liu Ziqiu wants to weaken is the imperial power.

Since ancient times, imperial power has been the supreme power, and almost the entire country's military and political power has been placed in the emperor's body. It is precisely because this power is too great and almost unconstrained that it has attracted the coveting of countless people, and the court will change endlessly. Just like Yang Guang, in order to ascend the throne, in the face of his compatriots, he can use extremely cruel means. Now that Liu Ziqiu has also become an emperor, he naturally doesn't want this to happen to his descendants. And the weakened imperial power will have a lot fewer people to worry about, so this is the first thing Liu Ziqiu has to do.

This time he left Beijing to inspect the world, which seemed to have nothing to do with weakening the imperial power, but in fact, this was his step-by-step means. On this trip, Liu Ziqiu did not have a special purpose, but set a deadline for himself, that is, about half a year. In the past six months, the major affairs of the state have been decided by the cabinet headed by Wei Zheng, and he almost no longer cares. As long as all the affairs of the state are running normally during these six months, it means that even if there is no emperor, it will not affect the development of the country. At that time, he can justifiably weaken the imperial power. Of course, in order to avoid accidents, Liu Ziqiu still held the military power firmly in his hands. However, one day, he will have to hand over his military power as well.

Of course, Yu Shinan didn't know what Liu Ziqiu was thinking, he just cared about urging Liu Ziqiu to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. In the end, Liu Ziqiu was really forced by him, so he had to order: "Cross the river!" ”

After crossing the Han River, he was one step closer to Luoyang, and Yu Shinan felt a little at ease. However, Liu Ziqiu's journey was still slow, passing through the three counties of Nanyang, Shuyang, and Xiangcheng, and walking for more than two months. At this time, Yu Shinan finally saw the dawn, and arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, after passing the Yique Pass, it will be Luoyang." Weichen asked for an order, and went to Beijing to report to all of you to know. ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "No need." He turned to Xie Muyu and asked, "Yu'er, you have read those many Buddhist scriptures, and you will have some understanding." A few years ago, I met the Taoist master of Zen Buddhism at the Shaolin Temple, and he gave me the beads. Now that we have come here, why don't you and I take a trip to the mountain to see if we can meet the old people again. ”

In Shaolin Temple, Liu Ziqiu once fought with Daoxin. Daoxin's jīng divine power made Liu Ziqiu suffer a small loss, but his martial arts were higher than Daoxin's, and the two sides were tied. Daoxin also took the initiative to stop because he was not sure to suppress Liu Ziqiu. Now that four years have passed, Liu Ziqiu has also quietly practiced jīng divine power. Although he couldn't do it, he originally came through time, and the power of the jīng god was stronger than ordinary people, and with so many years of unremitting training, he actually found some ways. Passing by Shaolin Temple this time, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but be ambitious and wanted to compete with Daoxin again.

Although she has not officially married, Xie Muyu is already a wife and a husband, and she obeys Liu Ziqiu's words. Gao Xiuer knew that Liu Ziqiu came to Shaolin Temple with Hua Yun and Wei Chigong in the past, and she also wanted to go with her. Tuoba Qianyu and Mu Duoli originally believed in Buddhism, so they were naturally not far behind. So the brigade left Xiangcheng and went straight to Shaomu Mountain.

……

When Yang Jian was in power, the imperial court had many rewards for Shaolin Temple. Although it is only a temple, it has thousands of acres of fertile land. Later, the world was in turmoil, and even Luoyang was affected. In order to protect the temple property, the Shaolin Temple organized monks and soldiers. Master Tanzong, whom Liu Ziqiu met outside the temple back then, has now become the head of the monks and soldiers.

However, it was not Master Tanzong who greeted Liu Ziqiu outside the temple today, nor was he a monk in the temple, but a young monk about ten years old.

Liu Ziqiu saw that the little monk was a little familiar, and frowned: "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

At this point, Liu Ziqiu no longer concealed his identity, even the dragon flag was revealed, and he also changed into a brand-new dragon robe.

The little monk clasped his hands together, sang the Buddha's horn, and said, "Your Majesty and nobles forget a lot, and the little monk is forbearing." ”

Liu Ziqiu took a closer look, and sure enough, it was the little monk back then, and couldn't help laughing: "It turned out to be Master Hongren, I don't know where Master Ling is?" ”

It's just a little monk, and it's very strange to be called a master today. Only Liu Ziqiu knows that this little monk is the future five ancestors of Zen Buddhism, and he naturally deserves the word master. What is surprising is that Hongren actually accepted the title of this master calmly, and said: "The family master knows that His Majesty is coming, and he will return today, and the little monk is here to greet him." ”

Gao Xiu'er didn't believe that it was so magical, and blurted out: "So it's mysterious!" ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Master Daoxin is indeed very human. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a loud voice from a person: "Your Majesty really has the wisdom to know people!" The poor monk is late, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins! ”

Liu Ziqiu turned his head and saw that it was Daoxin, secretly saying, this guy would use his own words to brag about himself. However, looking at the appearance of this letter, it turned out to be the same as four years ago, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a few years, the master has a good face, I admire, admire." ”

Daoxin heard the ridicule in Liu Ziqiu's words, but he didn't realize it, and said, "Your Majesty, all female donors, please move to the temple." ”

Liu Ziqiu remembered the scene when Hongren and Tanzong did not allow Huayun to enter the Shaolin Temple, and was stunned for a moment, and said: "I remember that there are rules in the temple, and women are not allowed to enter. ”

Daoxin smiled and said: "This time, that time." ”

Liu Ziqiu asked, "What's the solution?" ”

Daoxin Heshi said: "The Buddha also wants to eat incense in the world, how dare the poor monks stop all the mothers." ”

Liu Ziqiu couldn't imagine that even a master like Daoxin would become snobbish, and he couldn't help but despise him.

But after hearing the letter, he said: "Your Majesty now has the luck of the whole country, and the poor monk is far from being your Majesty's opponent, and the competition that Your Majesty wants is still exempt." ”

Only Liu Ziqiu himself knew the idea of trying to find Daoxin again, and he never revealed it, but he broke it. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but secretly speak, this guy really has some doorways, and I have to ask him well today if he can return to the next life.

Under the leadership of Hongnin, everyone walked through the temple and came to the palace again. Four years have passed, and there seems to be no change in this thatched house, and I don't know how the master and apprentice did it. When Liu Ziqiu was secretly surprised, Daoxin gave a salute to Gao Xiu'er and said: "Niangniang is benevolent, motherly and virtuous, and she is really the one of the people. ”

Gao Xiu'er nodded, but she didn't understand what he meant, but she was kind and didn't think about any special actions, so she didn't ask more.

Xie Muyu couldn't hold back, and said, "Master, I don't know if the little girl has a Buddha fate?" ”

Daoxin said with a smile: "What is fate, Your Majesty has already understood. Why should the female benefactor ask more? ”

Xie Muyu remembered what Liu Ziqiu had said to her when she was in Tianyin Nunnery, and she was completely stunned. But when I think of Tenyinan, I can't help but think of the experience of that night. Although Liu Ziqiu never mentioned it, Xie Muyu was always worried that Wang Bo's words would have an impact on Liu Ziqiu. In fact, she had long wanted to explain to Liu Ziqiu again, but she never dared to. At this time, seeing that Master Daoxin was quite powerful, he couldn't help but ask again: "Master, the little woman has something she wants to tell Your Majesty, and she has concerns, so she asks the master to explain her doubts." ”

Daoxin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is broad-minded, even if you don't say it, what's the matter." ”

Liu Ziqiu saw that the master of Daoxin was about to turn into a fortune teller, and he was amused, and said, "Why don't you take a look at these two concubines of mine." ”

Daoxin actually nodded, really glanced at Tuoba Qianyu, and said, "If there is an accident in him, don't blame Your Majesty." He said to Mu Duoli again: "Niangniang's archery is psychic, and he protects the country with a divine bow, and does not let him have eyebrows." As for what the mother wants, life is sometimes necessary, and it can be at peace with what happens. ”

Tuoba Qianyu listened to Daoxin's words, and her god suddenly dimmed, but she originally believed in Buddhism, and she didn't dare to ask more, but she was a little sullen. All Mu Duoli wanted in her heart was to give birth to a child for Liu Ziqiu, but she was told by Daoxin, but she didn't know if she had it or not. She, like Tuoba Qianyu, a person who believes in Buddhism, also does not dare to ask more.

Liu Ziqiu heard that he always mentioned the changes, and he couldn't help but be unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Since the master knows the past and the future, why don't you say anything, I can also seek good fortune and avoid evil, and protect all the people in the world." ”

Daoxin sighed: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”

Regarding this kind of godly thing, Liu Ziqiu was originally between believing and not believing, and he couldn't help but want to confirm it, and asked: "Does the master know how I can return?" ”

"If you come, you will be safe, why will Your Majesty return?" The Taoist signal said that he could know 500 years in advance and 500 years later, but four years ago, he failed to see through Liu Ziqiu's origin, and now four years have passed, although his Taoism is much deeper, he still can't see Liu Ziqiu's past clearly. However, he can see some general information about Liu Ziqiu's future, but he doesn't dare to say it explicitly because of the natural opportunity.

However, when Daoxin saw Liu Siyao standing beside Gao Xiu'er, he was taken aback, because he couldn't see the future of this child clearly. After a long time, Daoxin said: "He has changed suddenly, and the little prince may have some creation." Your Majesty's return may fall on the little prince. The poor monks have deficiencies in Taoism, and they dare not speak falsely. I hope Your Majesty will not sin! ”

The people around couldn't understand Daoxin's words, but Liu Ziqiu, as a party concerned, understood a little. He turned his head to look at his son, and couldn't help but sigh: "Resign yourself to fate." ”

At this time, Master Tanzong suddenly came over and said, "Your Majesty, someone outside the temple has come to report, and 100,000 people in Liaoxi are in a hurry!" ”
