Under the clear sky, Kaifeng City once again ushered in a grand celebration. The city has been the emperor since Guo Wei, the founding of the "Zhou", and then Chai Rong and Chai Zongxun, three generations of emperors. After checking Zhao Kuangyin in front of the palace, the soldiers took Kaifeng City without blood, and changed the country name to "Song". Up to now, this Kaifeng city has experienced nearly 50 years of ups and downs, witnessing countless glories and setbacks. Today, however, the celebration of the enthronement of the new emperor will become a new piece of history.

In the sky, the sun shines through the clouds and shines on the city's magnificent buildings, reflecting a golden glow that seems to cloak the city in a brilliant coat. On both sides of the street, crowds surged, colorful flags fluttered, and the noisy gongs and drums sounded one after another, and the celebratory atmosphere reached its peak.

In the heart of the city, in a huge square, a grand celebration is about to begin. Hundreds of officials in official uniforms stood on both sides of the square, and at this solemn moment, their faces were filled with excitement and anticipation, and they would witness the arrival of a new emperor in the city.

With the sound of passionate music, a shocking ceremony began. Emperor Zhao Heng walked from the square to the dragon chair on the high platform of the square and stood in front of the dragon chair. After the ceremonial officer read out the edict of enthronement, Emperor Zhao Heng used an impassioned statement to announce to the people of the world that the Great Song Dynasty had a new master.

Subsequently, hundreds of civil and military officials bowed and worshipped and shouted long live. At the climax of this enthronement ceremony, Zhao Heng solemnly announced: "I hereby announce that from next year, the country name will be changed to Xianping." ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials shouted long live!

"Secondly, Empress Li was on the top of the main hall that day, and wanted to establish the king of Chu, which was actually caused by Wang Jien's bewitchment. Therefore, I forgave his guilt and canonized him as the queen mother. ”

Although there was an uproar in the audience, there were no ministers who stood up to object.

Zhao Heng continued: "This time, thanks to Lu Xiang, he was clever and saw Wang Jien's evil intentions, so he smashed the attempts of these chaotic ministers and thieves, and this time he was crowned as the right servant. ”

Lu Duan stood up in the middle of the square and bowed his head in thanks.

"Liu Zhan, the leader of the sworn Jiang League and the concubine, and Li Zhentian, the owner of Yinlong Villa, although the two of them entered the palace without purpose, it was really a helpless move. I forgave their mistakes, and it was with these two people that they turned the tide that the situation became clear. Liu Zhan, the concubine, swore to the Marquis of Jiang. Princess Yunkai is the eldest princess. ”

Liu Zhan and Zhao Yunkai got up and bowed to the square.

"Li Zhentian of Yinlong Villa."

Before Zhao Heng's words fell, Li Zhentian got up and stood in the square, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are reckless, and the emperor is asked to think twice about this matter of worshipping officials." ”

"Is Master Li unwilling to accept this reward?"

Li Zhentian said: "Your Majesty, the world is prosperous, and the people are responsible for the people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and they have the responsibility to support the right path and comply with the mandate of heaven." The emperor's reward should also be left to the people of the world. The grass people haven't read so many books, and they don't know how to be an official. The minister only knows that if the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the grass people can manage their own livelihood. ”

Zhao Heng nodded and said regretfully: "Since Lord Li Zhuang is unwilling to be a marquis and worship an official, I am not reluctant. I know that you run a dart bureau in Luoyang, Xijing, and have always wanted to set up a chamber of commerce. Then I will give you ten thousand taels of gold, and I will personally carry the words for your chamber of commerce. Someone! ”

Several eunuchs took out a long table and took out the four treasures of the study. Emperor Zhao Heng waved his pen and wrote the four big characters "Dragon Chamber of Commerce" on a piece of paper, and after rolling it, the eunuch handed it to Li Zhentian.

Li Zhentian took the emperor's words with both hands and kowtowed: "Thank you to the emperor Mobao, the grass people will definitely do their best to make a big Song for me." ”

After Liu Zhan, Zhao Yunkai and Li Zhentian returned to their positions. Zhao Heng became a little gloomy and said, "Bring those people up." ”

Under the escort of several guards, Wang Jien, Li Jilong and others were escorted up.

Zhao Heng let out a long sigh and said regretfully: "You and others have all been the pillars of the country, if there is anything wrong with me, you will tell me everything, why do you need to do such a big rebellious act." Then, Zhao Heng pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I think that God has the virtue of a good life, and you have all served in my Great Song Dynasty for many years. Li Jilong, relieved of military power, changed his order to inspect the school. Wang Jien, who had no family property, was demoted to the general of the right prison guard and placed in Junzhou. ”

At this time, all the officials present deeply admired the emperor and praised the benevolence of Emperor Zhao Heng.

This grand celebration continued after Zhao Heng's announcement. Towards the end of the enthronement ceremony, three Buddhist masters came over.

All three masters wore monk's hats, yellow robes and red robes, and held a string of vermilion beads in their hands. The three of them walked from the square side by side with simplicity, humility and piety, walked under the high platform, and knelt before the emperor. Road:

"Poor monk wisdom."

"Poor monk Tikong."

"Poor monk forgets."

"Meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. We will bring the spiritual heart master of the Hanging Temple to congratulate the emperor on his enthronement. ”

Emperor Zhao Heng was very happy to see the three masters. "Dare to ask, why did the three masters come from?"

Tizhi said: "The three of us are from the Hanging Temple of Heng Mountain, and I have been ordered by my mentor Master Lingxin to come here to congratulate the emperor on his accession to the throne. ”

Zhao Heng waved his hands and said to the three of them: "I will return to Master Xie Lingxin on behalf of me." When the first emperor was there, he was bent on visiting the spiritual master. It's a pity. Heaven did not fulfill people's wishes, and the first emperor died, and he never met, which was a big regret in the heart of the first emperor. After the three masters prayed for the people of the Great Song Dynasty here, please also move to the mausoleum of the first emperor to solve the unfinished fate of the first emperor. ”

"Obey the emperor's holy will." The three replied.

Li Zhentian said to Ouyang Lan beside him: "The posture of these three monks is similar, and I can feel that the three of them are not idle. ”

Ouyang Lan looked at Li Zhentian with some confusion.

"Lan'er, do you remember that in Zuichun Building, there was a monk who fought with me."

Ouyang Lan thought for a moment, "There is such a thing, and you haven't taken advantage of it yet." ”

"I feel like it's one of the three of them."

"However, since the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were given to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao's bastard, there seems to be no connection between the Hanging Temple and the Great Song Dynasty, how could they get together with the Zuichun Building?"

"I don't know. The monk said that he was not from Songshan Temple, but if he was from the Hanging Temple, then it would make sense. I have traveled to the north and south for so many years, in the Central Plains, and even in the south of the Yangtze River, I know most of the temples, except for the high monks of Songshan Temple, there are very few who can fight with me. But we don't know about the Hanging Temple, so we don't know its strength. ”

Ouyang Lan said: "Then wait for the enthronement ceremony to end, let's go and ask." Li Zhentian nodded.

After the enthronement ceremony, Li Zhentian and Ouyang Lan greeted the three masters of the Hanging Temple. The couple looked at the three masters and said, "The three masters are reasonable. ”

The three masters said in unison: "The two donors are reasonable." ”

Li Zhentian said: "Is it the first time for the three masters to visit the Central Plains?" ”

The three masters looked at each other. A master was calm and relaxed, and smiled indifferently: "The poor monk forgets." Originally, he was a person from the Central Plains, but due to a change in his family, he was later rescued by Master Lingxin and returned to the door of this hanging temple. My two brothers grew up in the temple since they were children and have never been to the Central Plains. ”

"I see. I thought that if the three masters had never been to the Central Plains, I would dare to invite the three masters to my home as guests and enjoy the landscape of our Central Plains. Then, Li Zhentian exuded an internal force from his body and attacked the surroundings of the three monks. The three of them felt Li Zhentian's internal force, their faces did not change, and they calmly exuded an internal force from their bodies, which dispersed Li Zhentian's internal force.

Forget to say: "Thank you Li Zhuang for your kindness." The three of us were appointed by our teachers to congratulate the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty on his accession to the throne. Besides, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will eventually be the exterior scene. The heart is self-satisfied, even if it is just a flat ravine, it is also a good situation. ”

Li Zhentian faced Ti Forget, folded his hands, and said reverently: "The master has been taught." ”

"Amitabha." Forget to return the favor.

At this time, a monk, with eyes like Tongling, and a slightly fierce face, like the angry King Kong, said in an arrogant tone: "Forget the senior brother, let's go quickly." After a while, the emperor was in a hurry. ”

Another monk said, "Senior Brother Tizhi is right, since we have been ordered by Master to come here, we need to do our first task well. ”

Ti Wu said to Li Zhentian: "The poor monk said goodbye first." ”

Li Zhentian said to the three masters: "The three masters go slowly. The three masters followed one of the eunuchs and departed.

Ouyang Lan said to Li Zhentian: "Just let them go?" ”

Li Zhentian looked at the figures of the three masters who had gone away. muttered: "It seems that it must have been one of these three people at that time, but I am afraid that it was the voice of that person who had changed through internal force at that time." The voices of the three people we heard just now were different from what we heard in Zuichun Tower. But the number of internal power paths is indeed a family. ”

"So what do I do now?"

"Forget it, it's nothing. I'm just a little curious, and it doesn't matter to us if I can't find it, so let's go back. Li Zhentian took Ouyang Lan's hand and left in a hurry.
