"The wild goose comes, the bird returns, and the birds are ashamed." When the dew is white and white, it is already August and autumn.

In the Taiji Palace, Yuan Hong sits in the middle of the north and south ends, while the civil and military ministers kneel on both sides.

When the monarch and ministers discussed political affairs, Zheng Yi, the master craftsman, bowed his hand to Yuan Hongyu and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers follow Your Majesty's holy decree to build a Buddhist temple in Songshan for the Batuo Zen Master, and now it has been completed, and His Majesty has instructed the ministers to repair the Songshan Palace. ”

When Yuan Hong heard this, he rejoiced: "Okay! Will be a master and live up to my expectations! ”

Looking at the ministers, Yuan Hong then said: "In the old days, the Zen master said to me that he liked the quiet place, and Fang Ling remembered that when the emperor's grandmother was alive, she had built a palace under the Jicui Peak at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, so I built a Buddhist temple for the Zen master at the foot of the Songshan Shaomu Mountain, and I could also stay in the palace in my spare time to participate in Zen and worship the Buddha. ”

In the early years, the Eastern Tianzhu monk Batuo entered Wei through the countries of the Western Regions, and was personally seen by Yuan Hong. Batuo taught the "Ten Lands" Buddhist scriptures for Yuan Hong, and was deeply respected by Yuan Hong, so he was honored as a guest of honor, and opened a Zen forest for him. To move the capital to Luoyang, Yuan Hong built a Buddhist temple in Luoyang City for Batuo, and then Batuo liked a quiet place, Yuan Hong chose a site for him to build a temple in Songshan, so that he could teach the Dharma to the common people.

Hearing the emperor's words, Rencheng Wang Yuancheng spoke: "My Great Wei people are all to the Buddha, Your Majesty's move is for the benefit of the world!" Now that the Buddhist temple has been completed, it should be given by His Majesty, and the Zen master can also be welcomed as soon as possible to promote Buddhism and benefit all sentient beings! ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly and said, "What Uncle Huang said is extremely true!" ”

After thinking for a while, Yuan Hong looked at the ministers and said: "Since the Zen Temple is located in the dense jungle of Shaomu Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, then I will give this temple the name 'Shaolin', what do you think?" ”

After Yuan Hong's words, the ministers were full of praise and bowed their heads for reconsideration.

Waving his hand to signal everyone to stop, Yuan Hong then said: "The autumn festival is approaching, I want to climb high to sacrifice to the sky, now that the Buddhist temple is completed, this year's autumn festival I will go to Songshan to perform the sacrificial ceremony." ”

When Taifu Muliang heard this, he said: "The Zhou rite is loaded: 'Sacrifice the Sheji, the Five Rituals, and the Five Mountains with blood... The Son of Heaven is to sacrifice the world's famous mountains and rivers. 'Songshan is one of the five mountains, and it is close to Luodu, which is the first choice for worshipping the sky! ”

Yuan Hong bowed his head slightly and said, "What Taifu said is extremely true! Tai Changqing will choose the date of travel tomorrow, and then hand it over to the high priest to calculate the auspicious time. ”

Taichangqing Wang Youqing bowed his head and asked Yuan Hong again: "Your Majesty, please show me, is Your Majesty traveling with the family in the harem or by the prince?" The crown prince is the prince, and if he travels with His Majesty, the period chosen is also different. ”

Yuan Hong said: "Although Songshan is close to Luoyang, the mountain road is rugged, and the round trip is less than ten days, and more than a month... The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and the prince will stay in Luoyang, and there is no need to go with me. ”

On weekdays, the crown prince Yuan Sui was strictly disciplined by Yuan Hong, and this time the monarch's father ordered him to stay in Luoyang, not only less people to restrict, but also got the right to govern, Yuan Sui heard this, and he was overjoyed.

Yuan Sui was about to get up and thank him, but he heard Yuan Hong and said: "The prince is young and careless, and after I leave Luo, King Rencheng and King Pengcheng will assist him in the affairs of the country." ”

Yuan Hong said, Yuan Sui only felt that he was holding his breath, thinking that he could monopolize power, but he never thought that his father would have a heart of hope, and he couldn't help but be angry.

Li Chong, who was beside him, saw that Yuan Sui had a displeased look on his face, and quietly pulled his sleeve lightly, which made Yuan Sui ease his expression.

The monarch and the ministers agreed, and Yuan Hong retreated and left, so that everyone was in peace.

In the Yonghe Palace, Yuan Hong has already known that he wants to go to Songshan to worship the sky.

He knelt behind Yuan Hong, gently kneading his shoulders and neck, and said: "Yuan Lang went to Songshan to worship the sky, this long journey is a long way, when there is a degree of work and rest, don't make the dragon tired." ”

Yuan Hong said: "I have Bao'er by my side, and I don't feel tired even if the mountain road is rugged. ”

Pulling He to sit beside him, seeing his dazed expression, Yuan Hong then smiled and said: "I promised Bao'er to visit Siji but failed to make the trip, and now I have the opportunity to sacrifice to the sky, so I should take you with me." ”

He was surprised and delighted, threw himself into Yuan Hong's arms, and said happily: "Yuan Lang is full of words, concubine thank Yuan Lang for his grace!" ”

Yuan Hong stroked He's hair lightly and laughed: "I'm already a mother, I'm so childish..."

Looking at He with love in his eyes, Yuan Hong said again: "It's just a mountain road, and it's very difficult, can you stand it?" ”

He looked up at Yuan Hong, and said, "Yuan Lang is the son of heaven and suffers from turbulence, how can the concubine not stand it?" ”

Yuan Hong scratched the tip of He's nose and said with a smile: "Okay! That being the case, I can go with my baby with peace of mind..."

The emperor's sacrifice to the sky is an important event for the country, and it is a heavy guard of honor. When Tai Changqing chooses an auspicious day for the sacrifice, the Central Shang Department and the Left and Right Shang Offices will prepare the chariot and horse honor guards and the needs of the ceremony, and there will be no more problems.

In the imperial study, Yuan Hong announced the right Zhaoyi Li family with the three treasures.

Li bowed to Yuan Hong, but he didn't see that he had the intention of taking a seat, so he had to stand with his head bowed to one side.

After the Three Treasures led all the attendants to withdraw, Li Shi spoke: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to call the concubines to come and order?" ”

Yuan Hong said: "I will go to Songshan to worship the sky in a few days, and tens of thousands of people in this palace will have to take care of you." ”

The Li family was worried because the emperor did not give him a seat, but when he heard the words, he put down his suspense. Raising his head, Li said with a smile: "The concubine is in charge of the inner palace by the grace of His Majesty, and this is a matter for the concubines to take care of the palace, and Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Yuan Hong took a sip of tea and said, "You Zhaoyi has always had the ability to set up the sea in the sky, and I have never questioned it. ”

Yuan Hong's words made Li proud, and as soon as Yuan Hong's voice fell, Li said: "Your Majesty is too famous, and the concubine is ashamed!" Only the concubine has been taught by her parents since she was a child, and the concubine can help His Majesty take care of the harem. ”

The daughters of this prestigious family have been accustomed to running a family since childhood, and will marry into a family as a wife in the future. How could Yuan Hong not know the meaning of Li's words? Looking at the Li family, Yuan Hong said: "Longxi Public School is rich in five cars, and it helps me to rule the law and the legal system, and it has the ability that ordinary people can't reach." Since you have been taught by the Duke of Longxi since childhood, you should uphold his extraordinary ability..."

Li wanted to answer, but saw that Yuan Hong was silent, so he was silent and waited to hear the holy words.

But seeing that Yuan Hong suddenly smiled, he said: "Whoever is capable, if he is simple and clear, has a benevolent heart, and gives to the court, it is a blessing for the world... If the capable person flirts with the wrong and acts perversely, it will be a misfortune for the family and the country..."

Li was stunned, and he didn't know why Yuan Hong suddenly said this. After settling his mind, Li said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! Fortunately, His Majesty is flanked by capable people who are loyal to the king. ”

Yuan Hong looked at Li Shi with a piercing gaze: "I hope it is as you say... I have been sealed since I was a child, and I have seen many things about the former and harem... I want to travel all over the world, and I have no time to care about the rights and wrongs of the harem. From now on, I only wish that the harem will be clean, and there will be no more filth! ”

The emperor's words made the Li family sweat coldly, and before he could open his mouth to explain, Yuan Hong waved his hand and said: "I still have to deal with government affairs, you can return to peace." ”

Li was frightened, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly kowtowed and left.

When the Li family came out of the imperial study, the three treasures would be able to enter. While cooking buckwheat tea, Yuan Hong asked Sanbao and said, "When Fang You Zhaoyi left, can you see his expression?" ”

Sanbao bowed his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, You Zhaoyi has a frightened face, and he didn't say goodbye to the slave as in the past, but only left in a hurry. ”

Yuan Hong sneered and said, "If the heart is innocent, how can there be fear? ”

Sanbao was puzzled: "The slave has something unknown... Your Majesty is already suspicious of Right Zhaoyi, why didn't he reveal that matter? ”

Yuan Hong scooped up the tea for himself, and then said: "Although you found out that the attendants in the Golden Light Hall were all summoned to the Changxia Hall on the day of Xiangyi's disappearance, there were also other people who were summoned to the idle palace to do miscellaneous labor... I haven't thought about all these things over the years, but now that I think about it, you Zhaoyi can't avoid it..."

Sighing lightly, Yuan Hong continued: "Li Chong tried to protect the throne in front of the emperor's grandmother in his early years, and he was wise, and the Li family had many in-laws with the Han family. Now that the imperial court is at the time of employing people, if I investigate and punish Right Zhaoyi at this time, I am afraid that the Han family will be uneasy and unfavorable to the Han Revolution..."

When Sanbao heard the emperor's words, he knew that he was in a dilemma, so he was relieved: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, You Zhaoyi is a famous family, and it is inevitable that you have great desires... Fortunately, he did not frame the concubine and the imperial heir. ”

Yuan Hong looked at the tea smoke from the small furnace above the case, and said faintly: "I made a warning today, only so that he can get lost..."
