5. White Lotus Sect Master (4)
The queen is very virtuous and generous, and the emperor is very satisfied, "I won't go to the banquet in Chonghua Palace, just arrange it, the queen," before the queen could say anything, she quietly walked into a palace maid outside, and the queen looked at the palace maid and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Niangniang, Lafayette Palace came to pass the decree, saying that I want to see Concubine Min this time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Then hurry up and let Concubine Min go," the queen looked at the emperor, and when she saw that the emperor had no reaction, she hurriedly said, "Don't let the emperor wait for a long time." ”
When the palace maid went out, the queen stood up and blessed the emperor, "The concubine took Concubine Min over, lest Concubine Min not find the way, if she was lucky enough to find it, and she was afraid that she would talk nonsense, it would be bad." ”
The emperor smiled, "The queen has worked hard," the two of them were very polite, the emperor was especially like the queen, but the honey between the young husband and wife seemed to be a little less.
The queen took two steps back and turned to leave. Walking out of the main hall, Concubine Min was already waiting outside, and when she saw the queen saluting again, the queen's face was faint, and she nodded, "It is a great honor for the princess to be summoned by the Queen Mother Lafayette, and I can't help but accompany you." ”
"Yes, it's really tiring mother."
The sky was a little bad, it was cloudy, and it was a little cold, so the finch brought a hand stove to the queen, and the queen ordered, "Get one for the princess too." ”
The eunuch who came to deliver the decree was still there, and the queen said to the eunuch, "Lafayette is in the palace at this time?" ”
"Back to the words of the master, "Although he is the eunuch next to the Empress Dowager Cixi, he doesn't dare to be polite to the queen, "Lafayette is worshipping the gods in the Qin'an Palace." ”
The Qin'an Palace is located between the Imperial Garden and the Shunzhen Gate, "Ouch, I forgot, this is the day of Jiao," the queen smiled slightly, and said to Concubine Min, "When you enter the palace, you must have been seen by Lafayette, otherwise you will be able to come there." ”
The two of them got on the sedan chair together, in the palace, the queen Su Ri is not a guard of honor, this time I don't know why, the whole queen's guard of honor was put out in a mighty way, and the people stood in front of Jingren Gate, although the number of honor guards was large, but each stood solemnly, silent, two people one after the other, to the Qin'an Palace.
Concubine Min looked up, only to see the heavy eaves of the Qin'an Palace, the yellow glazed tile roof, located in the white marble single-layer Sumeru seat, the platform in front of the palace, surrounded by the white marble railing with a dragon pattern, the dragon and phoenix look at the column head, the platform in front of the Dan Majesty, the east and west sides of the steps. The southeast of the courtyard is set up with the incineration furnace, the southwest is placed with the clamp rod stone, there is a square pavilion in the east and west respectively in front of the palace, the plane square four corners accumulate the pointed glazed tile roof, it was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the original name is the incense pavilion. The structure is somewhat unique, with the front half of the pavilion open and the back half of the pavilion surrounded by partition doors to form a small room.
The courtyard wall in front of the hall is in the middle of the door, and the book "Tianyimen" is written. In front of the Qin'an Palace, there is a whitebark pine planted on the left and right under the Sumeru seat, and the colorful trunk, the thick green needles and the white stone fence form a sharp contrast. In particular, the roots of a whitebark pine tree in the west are exposed, like a sleeping dragon, and like a strong old man lying in the door, Lian Libai, since it is a place to worship the gods, then it is naturally very solemn and solemn, but the two ancient trees in front of the hall add infinite interest to the relatively dull environment in this area.
Zhu Zhiyi, the eunuch in charge, stood under the white-barked pine with his hands hanging and waited, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the two rows on the side, seeing the arrival of the queen, Zhu Zhiyi hurriedly stepped forward to call thousands, "Say hello to the master, please say hello to the princess." ”
The queen nodded, "Get up, Manager Zhu, why are you on an errand again today?" The queen asked strangely, "What about Mr. Li?" Isn't he going to follow Lafayette? ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, Manager Li has other errands, and he can't be empty." Zhu Zhiyi said with a smile, "So this minion is on duty today." ”
The queen nodded, and went up the stairs with the hands and feet of the bird, Concubine Min followed, and the two of them shared a bright yellow canopy, and entered the Qin'an Palace together, the Qin'an Palace is not too spacious, but because the candle flame incense oil is continuous, so it is very bright, the Qing people believe in Lamaism, but the ** of the Qin'an Hall is the Taoist god, the northern god Xuantian God in Taoism, also known as the Zhenwu Emperor. This is the Yongle Emperor most believed in the god, the former Wudang Taoist fooled the Yongle Emperor is the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor, after the Yongle Emperor seized the world, he was convinced of his true life, so he not only built the palace courtyard with the same specifications as the Forbidden City in Wudang Mountain to worship the Zhenwu Emperor, but also built the Qin'an Palace in the Forbidden City from time to time to pay tribute, and later the Jiajing Emperor was superstitious Taoism, the Qin'an Palace was renovated, and the Zhenwu Emperor reshaped the golden body, the two ancient trees at the door, it is rumored that the Jiajing Emperor planted it himself, Although the emperors of the Qing Dynasty believed in Lamaism, they did not exclude Taoism, and from the empress dowager, all religions were parallel, but there was no central edict, not allowed to preach privately, and solemnly ordered the matter, "the country is in the religion", all religions must follow the patriotic will to preach, "first love the country, and then believe in religion", if there is **** or teach in the country, all are denounced as cults, everyone gets and punished, the queen mother seems to be not very interested in Lamaism, many lama temples in the Rehe summer resort The queen mother is rarely involved, and she used to be quite fond of Buddhism in the Middle EarthOver the years, I have changed my taste and become interested in Taoism. So the queen mother came here this time, but this is also a custom, Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties have set up dojos here successively, praying for the queen mother's longevity and health. The Qing Dynasty set up a fighting altar in Tianyimen on New Year's Day every year, and the emperor made incense here. Every year's festival and the lunar calendar from August 6 to 18, is the Taoist sacrifice day, the Ming and Qing Dynasty palace officials and Taoists set up the Jiao table according to the routine, set up the case, worship the god card, the emperor came to pay homage to the incense, pray to the god of water to bless the palace, extinguish the fire.
The queen mother sat in front of the statue of the emperor of Zhenwu, there was a gray hair on the side, full of energy, the Taoist priest who was floating out of the dust was waving the dust and chanting words, and the drums behind him were ringing, and the queen followed behind the queen mother, and also meditated, and saw that the Taoist priest was wearing a crane Taoist uniform and a white jade lotus crown on his head, and he knew that this person must be an outstanding figure in the White Lotus Sect. Concubine Min doesn't believe in Taoism, but at this time, she can't help but follow, so she also squatted down, and no one knows whether she is kneeling or squatting under her big skirt, and the Taoist priest wearing a white jade lotus crown doesn't seem to notice that anyone is coming, just waving the dust by himself, singing the Taoist words in his mouth, he has a good voice, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched and tactful.
