Chapter VII Daming Temple

"Qingzi, do you know what interesting places are in Yangzhou?"

Runchi asked Aoko with a smile.

"Senior brother, because our Qingtianguan headquarters moved here from Jinan Mansion in Shandong Province not long ago, I haven't had time to have a good time to enjoy it here, how can I know the fun places here", Qingzi is still a child in the prime of his life, and he really doesn't know anything about Yangzhou.

"I've recently heard that the Daming Temple in Yangzhou is very interesting, and we can take a walk," Runzhi said to Qingzi, buying two horses from nearby farmers, one for each of them and looking at the Daming Temple.

"Senior brother, why do we have to ride a mule when we come and go to play before riding a horse?" Aoko patted her little head and asked very cutely.

"Do you know, when Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan, he rode a big buffalo, stop-and-go, the so-called Tao can be the way, the very way, the name can be very famous, everything is everything, mutual restraint, what we need to do is to take all of us as the capital, in order to get many wonderful things in life"

Runzhi seems to have opened the forum mode of the conference, in fact, in this kind of occasion with few people, a lot of knowledge is easier to get a good transmission effect, which may be because there are more emotional factors.

Therefore, teachers and students can often benefit a lot from outings.

"The Lao Tzu that Senior Brother is talking about, is it the Taishang Ancestor that our master said?" Qingzi seemed to remember something, and was a little happy, "The master often hangs the portrait of Master Taizu on the wall of the study, and every time he sits in meditation and enlightenment, he must take it as his companion."

"Qingzi's little head melon seeds are getting better and better, indeed Lao Tzu is our ancestor master, our ancestor and Confucianism ancestor are the same person, Confucius, and our ancestor Mo Zhai is a student of Confucius, and Confucius studied under Lao Tzu, Confucius inherited the essence of Lao Tzu to follow his nature, and our ancestor Mo Zhai absorbed the essence of Confucius's benevolence and self-cultivation, and self-contained, that is, our Mohist school"

Qingzi rode on a horse, holding his little head, his focus was on the Taishang Ancestor Lao Tzu mentioned by his senior brother, and he thought of the statue of "Taishang Laojun" in the Qingtian Temple.

Indeed, among the few ancestors enshrined in Qingtianguan, in addition to the ancestor Mo Zhai and Confucius, this statue of Taishang Laojun is the most likeable, thinking of the immortal statue with a large white beard, always wearing Taoist clothes, and holding props, Qingzi has an urge to laugh out loud.

Children are children after all, in the child's world, everything in the world is so wonderful and lovely, there is no dispute in the eyes of the child, love and hatred, there is no cheating, there is no stealing and slipping, some are just wearing warm flowers, birds singing and fragrant, there are the cutest cats and dogs, there are magpies and dragonflies flying in the sky, ants and caterpillars passing by on the ground.

The continuous mountain peaks shuttle by, on the steep stone wall, all kinds of strange rocks are craggy, some are like monkeys stealing peaches, some are like peacocks opening the screen, some are like two dragons playing with pearls, some are like fierce beasts with teeth and claws, and some are like blue whales swimming under the sea.

Really, Runzhi is also the first time to go to Daming Temple, with a map of Kyushu, and the experience of watching in various places before, plus his own unique experience as a disciple of Qingtianguan, Runzhi's trip can be described as unimpeded.

"This is mine, it's mine, how can you do this, this dress is obviously my clothes", a peasant woman in her 40s dressed in tatters was arguing fiercely with a well-dressed landlord near the entrance of a monastery, and they quarreled with each other.

When a group of monks and people from other places came to the temple to play, they all gathered around to watch the excitement. The number of people around gradually increased, but fortunately even the door of the temple was blocked.

"Is this Daming Temple, why are there so many people at the door", Qingzi was very surprised and asked, this may be the first time Qingzi has seen so many people, although Qingtianguan has more than 3,000 disciples every day to participate in the conference handouts, eat and live together, but the number of people here is obviously several times more than Qingtianguan.

Sure enough, there are people outside the sky, and today I finally saw the true meaning of this sentence. Thinking like this, Aoko felt an involuntary hearty feeling in her heart.

"Let's go over and see who the Divine dares to make trouble here," Runchi said with a smile, and then tied the two horses directly to a willow tree not far from the entrance of the temple with Aoko, and led Aoko to gain insight into the dispute ahead.

"I'm Tian Wenjing, the governor of Jiangsu, who is making a noise here for what?" , Runzhi deliberately pretended to be Tian Wenjing's identity and appeared among the two noisy people.

"You are the governor of the two provinces, Tian Wenjing, who likes to visit privately with Weifu, Lord Tian? , I beg Lord Tian to make the decision for me", seeing that Runzhi was dressed a lot of money, dressed in high-end clothes, and behaved in a standard official style, plus he had long heard that Lord Tian Wenjing Tian often paid private visits here to help the poor people, so this tattered forty-year-old aunt hurriedly asked him for help.

"You said that you are Lord Tian Wenjingtian, what evidence do you have, pretending to be an official of the imperial court, according to the law, you have to ask for beheading, can you afford it?" The man who looked like a rich man saw that although Runzhi was dressed quite delicately and elegantly, he was not dressed as an official of the government, and he could still pull out some small braids.

"Well, the voucher is, then you have to have it, do you see if this is enough", Runzhi took out a gold medal from his waist, and it read 'Death-free gold medal, Imperial Gift Mirror'" eight words.

Speaking of this gold medal, there is also a relationship.

This gold medal is, of course, genuine.

In the early years of Yongzheng, the Heaven and Earth Society anti-Qing and Ming restoration movement was on the rise, and even the imperial officials were panicked.

Once, the members of the one-day earth meeting took the opportunity to recruit eunuchs, approached Emperor Yongzheng as eunuchs, and after gaining the trust of Emperor Yongzheng, one day when Emperor Yongzheng drank tea, he suddenly stabbed Yongzheng with a sharp short knife, and was about to stab Emperor Yongzheng's heart, Emperor Yongzheng was stunned, at this time, it happened that Tian Wenjing came to discuss the national policy, Tian Wenjing rushed forward without hesitation to block the knife, so that the knife pierced through Tian Wenjing's shoulder, so that Emperor Yongzheng escaped.

In order to commend Tian Wenjing's self-sacrificing behavior to protect the Lord, Yongzheng not only praised him for his "loyalty and ability through the ages" in front of hundreds of officials in the imperial court, but also crowned him with his special official position of "Governor of the Two Provinces", which is equivalent to handing over all the military and political power of the two provinces to him.

At the same time, he was also given a "gold medal for avoiding death", announcing to the world that with this gold medal, Tian Wenjing and his descendants are not bound by the law of the country, if the crime is handled by Tian Wenjing's family, they are exempt from any punishment, and see this gold medal, if they see Emperor Yongzheng himself, they can be cut first and then played.

"Ah, sure enough, it's Tian Wenjing, Lord Tian, Lord Tian is here for a private visit" The peasant woman in her forties, dressed in tatters, shouted loudly as if she had invited a savior, and quickly knelt down in front of Runzhi.

In the morning, the streets had already turned "Tian Wenjing won the gold medal for avoiding death" into a beautiful talk in Qing society, so everyone had heard of this gold medal for a long time.

At this time, I saw the peasant woman kneeling, thinking of "seeing the gold medal for avoiding death is like seeing the rumor of Emperor Yongzheng himself", everyone began to kneel down, and the people behind saw that the people in front of them knelt on the ground in an instant, and they didn't know what happened, but they heard "Lord Tian Wenjing Tian holds the royal gold medal here!" In an instant, from the inside to the outside, tens of thousands of people all knelt together, and they didn't dare to come out.
