The two of them set off from Wutai Mountain and walked for more than 20 days before they came to the city of Youzhou. Good guy, under the city of Youzhou, there is a long queue of monks and nuns, waiting to check the entry.

Although he and Xun'er set off early, Master Shenhui predicted the actions of the imperial court in advance, and he couldn't stand the fact that the latecomers were the ones who came to Youzhou earlier, and there were many monks and nuns who came to Youzhou earlier than their grandfathers.

Miaokong lined up at the end of the line, and monks and nuns lined up behind him one after another. Miaokong put down Xun'er, crossed his feet and looked ahead, counting, one, two, three... After counting for a while, I don't understand, it's too much.

He pulled the one in front of him, who was still gently tapping the wooden fish and chanting. He pulled for a long time, but people ignored him. Myoka stretched out his arm, reaching for the person in front of him.

"There are so many people, what's the matter?"

The same door in front looked ahead, "Put fifty a day." Explain it succinctly.

Zhang Zhongwu is very devout to Buddhism, and he is also courteous to Buddhists. However, since the imperial court issued the edict, a large number of monks and nuns have flocked to Youzhou.

At first, he didn't open the city gate and let people in, but everyone spread the word of ten, hundred, and the monks and nuns who didn't want to return to the vulgar or had nowhere to go after returning to the vulgar came to Youzhou.

Many of them are monks from abroad, such as Qiuzi, Hu, Goguryeo, etc., these countries are far apart, and besides, they have a long way to go back, and there is no news of their relatives in their hometowns for many years. It's a problem to go back and survive, and there is no household registration.

Wu Zong's drastic campaign to exterminate Buddhism can make the monks cry. Miaokong sat on the ground and let Xun'er sit on his lap. When you get under the city wall, it's easy to say that you will enter the city one day earlier and one day later.

The envoy came to the town of Hedong Domain, and Liu Ye personally went out of the city gate to greet the envoy. The people sent by the imperial court are the messengers of the will of the Son of Heaven and cannot be neglected.

Liu Ye invited the messenger for a private banquet, and He Jin accompanied him, and recently his main energy has been on the affairs of relief for the victims, and in line with the principle of not being extravagant and wasteful, he paid for the banquet for the messenger out of his own pocket.

Messenger: "The Holy One attaches great importance to the clean-up of the temple, and I hope that Lord Liu will also attach great importance to this work." After a while, the imperial court will send an inspection team to inspect and inspect. ”

Liu Yeli was thoughtful and said modestly: "What the lord said, this official should keep in mind. After the official arrived in Hedong Town, it coincided with the locust plague in Fenzhou, and the focus of his recent work has been on relief for the victims. I can't be thoughtful and warm about the hospitality of adults, and I hope that you will be more considerate. When the younger brother returns to the capital one day to report on his work, he will visit the adults, and he will be drinking and talking happily at the apology. ”

This young man is in a high position, but he is not complacent, and there is no one in his eyes. His official position is lower than his, but he is humble and respectful, and he lowers his stature.

"If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and plant sweet potatoes. Lord Liu puts the interests of the people of Li first, and this official admires him. The foolish brother is a few years older, and he thinks of himself as a brother. ”

The connections in officialdom lie in management and weaving, and the relationship between discourses is connected. The name of the brother is affectionate and familiar. Liu Ye also thought about it, and the rectification of the monasteries in Hedong Domain, one Wutai Mountain was enough for him to drink a pot.

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, who let Wutai Mountain have the halo of a Buddhist holy land, and the monks and nuns here can't be in a hurry to clean up and rectify.

He didn't want to be in a hurry, but the court's request was to act vigorously and resolutely, and what he wanted was the result. The specific executor pays more attention to the process.

Peacefully, safely, not brutally. Therefore, Liu Ye wants to have a good relationship with the messenger, so that the messenger will be slapping his mouth up and down, and their mouths will be powerful.

The emperor is far away, and his understanding of the feudal town is not a word of the envoy. Liu Ye became more and more emotional, the official position is not easy to sit, and it is even more difficult to sit firmly. When I return to the capital, I must discuss with my father a few secrets of governing officialdom.

Why is Dad so powerful, the affairs of the whole country are under his control, and he is the central nervous system of the operation of the imperial court. Liu Ye worships her father more and more, and your daughter is still very immature.

He self-positioned himself as still very immature, but He Jin, who was sitting with him, saw that he was an old trick. seems to be the philosophy of officialdom survival, he was born without a teacher, he is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he is ruthless.

The rich and corrupt officials in Fenzhou let Liu Ye 'rob' one by one, but there was not even a little wave. To put it mildly, the hair on his mouth hasn't grown yet. Just play with the old foxes of officialdom.

He Jin held the wine glass, just accompanied the two of them to drink, and basically did not interject. He secretly speculated that this child's heart was probably much blacker and less red.

If he knew that Liu Ye had been slapped in the face and sold when he was a girl, he would probably drop his jaw in shock.

Liu Ye and the messenger called each other brothers and sisters, and they staggered. The messenger swore an oath: "Brother Liu Xian, although you come according to your own ideas, as for the holy side, there is a foolish brother who will carry the bottom for you." Disaster relief is now a priority. There is a foolish brother in the court, and the virtuous brother lets go of his hands and feet. ”

He Jin raised his head to drink a glass of wine again, he was a drinker, and his official position was ignored and not taken seriously.

Liu Ye sent the messenger to the room, and when he came out, he said to He Jin that he would prepare a gift for the envoy and let him bring it back to the capital. There is no way to exchange courtesies, and human favors must be gone.

When he returned to the dormitory at night, Liu Ye pondered the prince who had a few faces, and he was still a monk in Wutai Mountain. He came incognito from the imperial city to Wutai Mountain Huayan Temple, and Liu Ye wanted to give him a place to live as a matter of urgency.

After Liu Ye arrived in the capital, he was an official in the imperial court, and the amount of information he came into contact with was not ordinary. Liu Ye once talked to Zhou Qi about the King of Light seemingly unintentionally.

That time, when I was visiting Du Qiuniang, I happened to use Du Qiuniang's introduction Liu Ye to ask: "Lord Zhou, do your subordinates have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

He and Zhou Qi were in the same room many times along the way, and they also served as Zhou Qi's personal guards.

Zhou Qi: "Between you and this official, you can know everything." "He is in the spirit of enthusiastically teaching the younger generation, pointing out the willow leaves.

"People are often clever but mistaken by cleverness. I want Du Qiuniang to be a good woman, a talented woman, and a talented woman when she is successful, and she is also talented when she loses. Fate goes up and down, lucky or tragic. The life of a wise person is capricious. So..."

Liu Ye's big eyes flickered and looked at Zhou Qi, wanting to speak. Zhou Qi: "So what? "Since you can know everything, it doesn't hurt to keep talking.

"So, can a prince like the one in the imperial city who people think is unwise, be safe and sound and have a smooth life?"

Liu Ye's bright eyes are full of curiosity. Zhou Qi didn't expect Liu Ye to touch such a sensitive topic, palace secrets, the less you know about the affairs of the palace, the better.

Zhou Qi's face became serious, "Liu Ye, that prince is not something we should talk about. Royal affairs, Liu Ye remember not to speculate. ”

Before Zhou Qi went to bed, he said solemnly again: "Liu Ye, don't talk about things related to the royal family in the imperial court. ”
