Although Fang Yingwu was extremely sleepy, the quality of sleep tonight was not good, and the reason was that he was too preoccupied, and he really couldn't make up his mind about Wang Zhi and Xichang.

After dawn, the early morning row was still held, Fang Zhixian sat in the lobby to accept the worship, listened to the official report, and waved his hand to let the officials disperse.

At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly walked into the lobby, which caused all the officials to look sideways, and judged that this was a eunuch with a high status according to the color of his clothes. I saw this middle-aged eunuch shouting to the county lord: "Fang Zhi County! A certain family came from Renshou Palace, and the Eastern Dynasty issued a decree! ”

Renshou Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, and the Eastern Dynasty is a kind of honorific title for the Empress Dowager Zhou, just like the East Palace is used to refer to the crown prince. Probably because Renshou Palace is in the easternmost part of Ouchi, and the palace pattern is self-contained, so it is honored as the Eastern Dynasty.

Some of the old and sophisticated officials have already heard it, this is the Empress Dowager Zhou who passed the decree to Fang Yingwu, and secretly marveled that this new county is really different everywhere! With their knowledge, it is rare to hear the Queen Mother directly give orders to the minister, and the Queen Mother generally does not need to do things like this.

The crowd that was about to disperse suddenly stopped, pricking up their ears to hear the gossip. But Fang Xianzun was very puzzled and patted the public case and said: "Scattered, scattered!" ”

After all the officials had withdrawn from the lobby, Fang Yingwu got up from behind the public case, walked down the high platform and hugged his fists at the middle-aged eunuch. This decree is not a holy decree, there is no legal meaning in the actual sense, and Fang Yingwu, who cares a lot about his personal image and does not want to be regarded as a grovel, so the number of rituals is relatively simple, and there is no kneeling welcome.

The middle-aged eunuch didn't care about this, nodded and said, "Our Lady has a message for you." Help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and let you persuade the idle master. ”

Seeing Fang Yingwu's face, there was a question mark. The eunuch added: "The monk of Baoguo Temple in the south of the city is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and it has been confirmed without a doubt. However, the mage broke through the red dust. Unwilling to recognize the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was helpless, so she remembered you and ordered you to persuade her. ”

It turns out that this should be remembered that this monk in history is indeed interesting, that is a person who really has faith, a person who is really idle and wild. After he was found in hiding for many years, with the short-term nature of the Empress Dowager Zhou, the hereditary title was only within reach. No matter how bad it is, it is also the duty of Jinyi Wei.

But this monk does not enjoy the glory and wealth, but only wants to guard the temple and become a monk. The Queen Mother Zuihou really had no choice but to rebuild the temple to make it resplendent to compensate her younger brother.

Now listening to the eunuch say this, this idle monk actually refuses to even recognize each other? However, Fang Yingwu felt very painful, he was now entangled in official business, and there were a lot of things, how could he have a lot of time to take care of this royal?

The middle-aged eunuch said lightly: "Our Lady also said that you are destined to be a person." What's more, Baoguo Temple is on the land of Wanping County, please persuade Master Xian to change his mind. ”

What should I do if I can't persuade him to come back? Fang Yingwu thought of this question, but he didn't ask, presumably it was in vain to ask. Anyway, there will be no good fruit of their own to eat.

Sending away the eunuch who sent the decree, Fang Yingwu scratched his head in annoyance, when he used Lao Qingyun Hou to come to the pit door to abduct and deceive. I really didn't expect that I had to jump into the pit I dug by myself.

Sighing again, Fang Zhixian was helpless. The herald gathered a guard of honor and set off for the south of the city. Wanping County is in the north of the city. The Baoguo Temple where Uncle Monk is located is located in the southern suburbs of the city, and the distance is about ten miles, which is not short, so it is necessary to leave as soon as possible.

This is the first time that Fang Zhixian has traveled with a full guard of honor since taking office. Looking forward through the sedan curtain, there is a pair of horseback riding leaders, six tall cards; Looking backwards, twenty or thirty guards followed; Looking left and right, a Qingluo umbrella covered the sedan chair.

What is called before and after, this is the front and back! In this way, Fang Yingwu lived up to his life aspirations, and Fang Yingwu's mood was ruthlessly vain.

When he was in a reverie, he suddenly saw the horse riding leader turned back and signaled, and then quickly dismounted, and the official who played the high-foot card also hurriedly put the sign flat.

Someone shouted a few more times, and Fang Yingwu felt that his sedan chair had been carried to the side of the road, and a cadre of servants and attendants also tightly gathered up and stood against the side of the road.

Lou Tianhua explained beside him: "There is a waiter in front, the proprietor's grade is lower than the opposite, according to the rules, you have to avoid the way, do you want to come down and salute?" ”

Waiting for the waiter to pass, the honor guard of Wanping County continued to show off its might, and there was no shortage of knights, number plates, and umbrella covers. But after only walking for half an hour, the team hid on the side of the road in a panic, and even the county sedan chair was almost overturned.

Lou Tianhua explained beside him: "There is a temple in front, and the proprietor's grade is lower than that of the other party, so he has to avoid the road." ”

Waiting for Siqing to pass, the honor guard of Wanping County continued to show off its might, and there was no shortage of knights, number plates, and umbrella covers. However, it was only half an hour to go, again

Fang Zhixian was sitting in the sedan chair and was shaken for a while, his face was dark, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by in his heart, and he knew that it was better to travel in micro-clothes!

The people of the rivers and lakes said that they don't know the official until they are in the capital, especially here in Xicheng, the magistrate of Wanping County, Zhengliupin, has the deepest feeling, and the glory of hugging has already been thrown to Java, and he just can't wait to finish this long journey early.

This way stop-and-go, stop-and-go, from north to south through the entire Xicheng, to the southern suburbs is already afternoon

It is said that at this time, the capital has not yet built an outer city, and the south gate of the capital is Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, and Xuanwu Gate, and the places outside the three gates are all suburbs outside the city.

The fat flowing oil Chongwen Gate belongs to Daxing County, Xuanwu Gate belongs to Wanping County, and Fang Yingwu's destination Baoguo Temple is in the southwest of Xuanwu Gate.

Among the four suburbs of the capital, only the southern suburbs have the most villages and the most densely populated, and a number of simple streets and markets have been spontaneously formed, interspersed with pastoral vegetable fields. In a low-rise dwelling, Fang Zhixian saw an old and dilapidated small temple, which was Baoguo Temple.

The mighty guard of honor had already alarmed the ground, and an old monk with wrinkles stood at the gate of the temple to greet the arrival of the magistrate, claiming to be the abbot. The temple belongs to the boundary of Wanping County, and the county grandfather's parents drove to the office, and the old abbot had to respect.

Fang Zhixian was not interested in chatting with an old monk, so he asked directly, "Where is the mage of sexual leisure?" ”

The old monk seemed to have expected it, so he led Fang Zhixian to the side courtyard, and raised his eyes to see a small temple in the courtyard, with the words "Jialan Palace" written on the plaque.

Fang Yingwu stopped others from following, walked up the stairs alone, stepped into the hall, and saw a middle-aged monk wearing a shabby robe, bending down to clean the dust.

Fang Yingwu arched his hand and said, "It's the mage of sexual idleness in front of you?" The monk raised his head, but his eyebrows were sparse, and the other party said indifferently: "Exactly." ”

Fang Yingwu introduced himself: "This official is Fang Yingwu of Wanping County!" I wonder if the mage has ever heard of it? The monk nodded and said, "The four monks are empty, and they don't remember many mundane things, so please forgive the donor." ”

Fang Yingwu asked, "The mage doesn't know the reason?" The monk replied, "Since the monks have already become monks, all kinds of dust are like dust, and they should not be stored in the mirror." ”

Fang Yingwu didn't understand Buddhism at all, and thought for a long time before asking: "You monks pay attention to cause and effect, and this official was ordered to honor your dreams, find your true body, and fulfill the queen mother's feelings of missing her younger brother, which is considered to be a favor to your Zhou family, how can you repay it?" ”

The monk continued to answer indifferently: "There is only sex leisure here, and there is no younger brother of the Zhou family. ”

Fang Yingwu asked, "You were born into the world by the essence and blood of your parents, and this is the reason; And your mother died when you were young, you left home and disappeared at an early age, and your father died and you didn't fulfill your filial piety, what about your fruit? Cutting off this cause and effect, how can you say that it is not the Zhou family? Since it is still the Zhou family, I have to give this official a reward. ”

The monk was silent for a moment, and then folded his hands again and saluted: "The poor monk knows, and he will go with the donor tomorrow." ”

Fang Yingwu was overjoyed, it seems that the matter is going to be done, but I didn't expect the process to be simpler than I thought, it can be regarded as a solution to a troublesome matter! He was worried about an accident, and when he saw that it was not early, he wronged himself and lived in Baoguo Temple that night.

Although the conditions were a little more difficult, they couldn't stand Fang Yingwu's happiness, and the previous grievances were swept away. If this matter is done, it will naturally be a great merit to the Queen Mother, and her own benefits are indispensable! I just don't know what the benefits will be? Fang Yingwu kept thinking in his heart

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, Fang Yingwu couldn't wait to come to the Jialan Palace, threw the broom in the hand of the mage of Xianxian aside, and urged: "Mage! Please go with this officer! ”

The monk smiled slightly: "The donor is kind to the Zhou family, and the poor monk has nothing to repay, so he sent the donor a night of joy and joy. There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south! ”

No way! Fang Yingwu pointed at the idle monk and was speechless, this monk can also play tricks! (To be continued......)
