Chapter 43: The Mysterious Great Bao'en Temple
Da Bao'en Temple, in the Yongle Dynasty, is a taboo topic.
If anyone mentions the "Great Bao'en Temple" in front of Zhu Di, maybe the emperor who was smiling a moment ago will turn his face the next moment. Even the crown prince, the king of Han, the king of Zhao, and Zhu Gaoxian would never take the initiative to mention the Great Bao'en Temple in front of Zhu Di.
However, the Great Bao'en Temple was built by Zhu Di himself, Zhu Di's Ministry of Labor rebuilt on the original site of the Yuanxing Ci'en Jingzhongjiao Temple, nominally in the name of commemorating Emperor Gao and Empress Ma, and ordered the Ministry of Engineering to rebuild the Great Bao'en Temple and the nine-story glazed pagoda here, in accordance with the palace regulations, to collect more than 100,000 craftsmen from all over the world, and the cost was 2.5 million taels of grain and silver, and millions of money.
According to the big inner Tuwu, build a nine-level five-color glazed tower, say the first tower, and the temple is called the Great Bao'en Temple.
This is a huge cost, labor and money project, until now, Da Bao'en Temple is still under construction.
According to common sense, this should be a famous place, but if you ask where the Dabao'en Temple is in Jinling City, the people will be confused, is there such a temple?
Then you continue to inquire, and after spending a long time and energy, you finally find the clues, and when you are about to find this temple, the Jinyi Guard's Tiqi will suddenly kill you, escort you to Zhao Prison on trumped-up charges, and make you mysteriously "disappear".
Such a mysterious Da Bao En Temple, even the engineering personnel who were ordered to build the Da Bao En Temple did not know what secrets this temple had.
And the only people who know the truth are probably the emperor and his four sons, and they avoid talking about it.
……
Hearing that Zhu Di asked him to take his daughter-in-law to Dabao'en Temple to meet "her", Zhu Gaoxian was silent for a long time.
"Erchen understood." Zhu Gaoxian barely squeezed out a smile.
Zhu Di paused for a moment and said, "You go and take a look, she is doing well...... She ......"
This emperor who commands the world seems a little lonely at the moment.
"Erchen understands." Zhu Gaoxian let out a long sigh and got up to leave.
After he left, Zhu Di's face began to distort, looking hideous and painful.
The people who live in the Dabao'en Temple are a scar in his heart that will not heal.
He hated the world, why was it so cruel to him.
Although, all because of his own fault.
……
After returning to the palace, Zhu Gaoxian changed into a snow-colored civilian robe and rode a black horse to the British mansion.
In his capacity as a prince, he should go out with five carts and twenty horses, four horses and one cart, accompanied by drum carts, golden chariots, as well as eleven pairs of banners, clear roads, swords and shields, twenty pairs of bows and arrows, etc., a total of fifty-seven kinds of specifications and treatments, and it is necessary to prepare a few days in advance to go out, but this is an official establishment.
For example, when King Han went out, he only hung four or five guards with knives around him, and Zhu Gaoxian never liked to be followed, and even the prince only brought a few subordinates to serve, as well as more than ten guards symbolically guarded.
When he arrived at the gate of the British Mansion, there were not so many dramatic scenes of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, Zhu Gaoxian directly took off the jade pendant from his waist to prove his identity, and the people in the mansion immediately offered it respectfully.
Zhu Gaoxian sat in the waiting room of the Guogong Mansion, surrounded by maids and servants serving tea and snacks, this guy is not polite, it should be in his own home, a mung bean cake, and a cup of tea to smooth his throat, eating fiercely.
The maid waiting next to her was shocked, where is this dim sum eaten like this, the rich and noble people in Beijing drink tea and eat dim sum, it is all to cultivate sentiment, a stack of pastries can be eaten in an afternoon, this Qi Wang Ye looks very elegant and delicate, but the way to eat is like a flood beast, a cup of tea directly shows off two plates!
"Hiccup~"
Zhu Gaoxian burped and asked a little puzzled, "Is your grandfather in a daze, my stomach is full, why hasn't he come over yet?" ”
A subtle female voice came: "I'm sorry, my father went to Chengguogong's house as a guest in the morning, and Yingzhen received the prince first." ”
Zhu Gaoxian looked in the direction of the voice, it was a girl wearing a Han-style wide-sleeved long skirt, a pair of peach blossom eyes like clear amber jade, a little red lips slightly pursed, shaved shoulders and thin waist, handsome eyes and eyebrows, slender jade hands as delicate and silky as white onions, white skin can be broken by blowing, and the long black and soft hair tied up with a silver hairpin hanging white jade, which makes people can't help but feel that this girl is really a blessing.
And the heroism between her eyebrows is a natural temperament that belongs to the tiger girl of the gate.
This girl's name is Zhang Yingzhen, the eldest daughter of the British princess Zhang Fu, because the British princess has no children, there is a rumor in Beijing that whoever marries the eldest girl of the British princess family will get the 100,000 troops in the southwest, and there is no one in the world whose dowry is thicker than this.
And Zhu Gaoxian is the one who got this dowry.
"Big girl." The maids saluted respectfully when they saw Zhang Yingzhen.
Zhang Yingzhen waved her jade hand lightly and said lightly: "Let's go down." ”
"This ......," the maids hesitated.
Although the eldest girl of their family is about to marry Prince Qi, but after all, she is still not married, how can a lonely man and a widow be in the same room?
Zhu Gaoxian can also understand, after all, this is the Ming Dynasty, if it is changed to the openness of later generations, the young man and woman who are about to get married will meet, probably ......
M: Hey, hey!
Woman: Hmm~
M: Stop the ink and get down to business!
Woman: Hmm~
……
After dispersing the others, Zhang Yingzhen opened her mouth and said: "I don't know if the prince is coming, what are you doing?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian teased: "Can't this king come to see my daughter-in-law?" ”
"You ......" Zhang Yingzhen had a red cloud on her cheeks, looking a little helpless.
Even though she was born in a military family and has a heroic family style, she was caught off guard in the face of such bold words.
"I'm not kidding you." Zhu Gaoxian scratched his head and said, "I came by order." ”
Hearing that it was the emperor's will, Zhang Yingzhen said with a straight face: "This king, please speak." ”
"The emperor said, let you follow me for a trip...... Da Ho En Temple. Zhu Gaoxian coughed and said, "Go visit a ...... People with special status. ”
"Visiting someone of special status?" Zhang Yingzhen was a little confused.
……
Da Bao'en Temple, winter goes to spring, everything recovers, at the end of the forest, a corridor and a column, are gently depicting the color of spring.
The red wall tiles in the temple look bright and solemn in the sun, and it was dusk when Zhu Gaoxian and Zhang Yingzhen arrived, and the afterglow rendered the charm of the Great Reward Pagoda to the extreme.
This temple built according to the specifications of the imperial palace is extremely elegant, with more than 30 palaces, monasteries, more than 100 corridors and 38 scripture rooms.
Such a magnificent temple, except for the main hall, the door is tightly closed, and there are twelve guards of the forbidden army patrolling in front of the temple, as if there is a mysterious terrifying beast suppressed inside.
"Lord Wang, what is this?" Zhang Yingzhen looked at Zhu Gaoxian suspiciously.
What kind of person with special status is actually worthy of being guarded by the guards of the Forbidden Army?
And it is hidden in the main hall of Da Bao'en Temple, which was built by His Majesty the Emperor to commemorate Emperor Taizu Gao and Empress Ma!
Zhu Gaoxian didn't answer, and walked to the front of the hall, but was stopped by the guards.
"Lord Wang, do you know who lives here, please don't make it difficult for the ministers." Although the guards of the forbidden army recognized that this was Prince Qi in front of them, they still stopped them with indifferent faces.
Zhu Gaoxian took out a carved dragon golden order from his sleeve and said lightly: "The emperor's will, let this king bring the princess to visit that one." ”
