Thirty miles outside the east gate of Yuzhou City, there is a Yu Mountain, there is a Longfu Temple at the foot of Yu Mountain, the incense is vigorous, the crowd of people who come to incense every day is endless, there are those who make a wish, there are also those who wish back. The reason why the incense is so strong at Yongfuji Temple is said to be because the gods enshrined in the temple are extremely effective and respond to requests, so many people come from thousands of miles to make wishes. The scenery of Yushan Mountain behind the temple is beautiful, some dignitaries and dignitaries make a wish, they have to stay in Longfu Temple for a few days, they will go to Yushan Mountain to enjoy the scenery, those who have good deeds will also do a few crooked poems, and they will be elegant.

Of course, people make a variety of wishes, some ask for children, some seek officials, some seek wealth, some ask for their own talents, some ask for talent, some ask for a wishful husband, and some ask the gods to bless the elderly in the family to get well as soon as possible...... People have different wishes, but they can kneel in front of the Buddha statue, and they are all very pious. Not to mention, some girls begged to marry a wishful husband, and soon they were satisfied, and they really married the real master of Southwest Province, Pingxi Wang Yinquan.

Of course, the premise is that these girls who marry Yin Quan are extremely beautiful, and if they are ugly, Yin Quan definitely doesn't want them. Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, never said to take concubines, he said to marry concubines. As for those beautiful women who marry Yin Quan, whether they are placed in Xiangxiangyuan, Lanwuyuan, Qiuyun Pavilion or Qunfangyuan, Yin Quan doesn't care, he has his own female officials who are responsible for taking care of these affairs, and all he has to do is enjoy these women. As for the scolding of the people, Yin Quan should not be able to hear it, he only cares about his own happiness, where will he care about the life and death of those inferior people?

Someone once laughed at Yin Quan behind his back, saying that the king of Pingxi regarded Longfu Temple as a concubine selection place, but the person who said this obviously did not understand Yin Quan, because only a small number of girls were found by the officials in charge of beauty pageants under Yin Quan in Longfu Temple, and most of these girls were secretly "invited" to Pingxi Palace, and no one would ever mention the three words of Longfu Temple in front of the girl's family, otherwise who would dare to come to Longfu Temple to offer incense?

The presiding officer of Longfu Temple is called Zhitong Monk, and he is also a famous figure, this intelligent monk is surnamed Yin, yes, it is Yin Quan's Yin, Yin Guang's Yin. He has been an abbot at Ryufukuji Temple for thirty-five years.

However, few people know that the Zhitong monk used to be surnamed Yin, at least the monks of Longfu Temple don't know this very much, as for how the Zhitong monk became the abbot of Longfu Temple, he has been secretive, given that he has a cold face in the face of his apprentices every day, no one dares to ask, and no one dares to ask, there was once a little monk who asked, and then he was driven out of the temple with an excuse for having lice on his head.

In fact, Zhitong was able to become the host of Longfu Temple because of Yin Quan's father, the former king of Pingxi, Yin Che. Yin Che was driven out of the capital by the former emperor Yin Ren under the pretext of suddenly returning to China and invaded the territory, and was rushed to the southwest province. Later, Yin Ren made a contribution to Yin Che's pacification, and changed his title from Prince Jing to Prince Pingxi, and the fief was in the southwest province, which was still a wild place at that time, far from today's prosperous scene, and the barbarians often made some trouble, and Yin Che was placed in the southwest province to clean up the mess here. In fact, even pigs can see it, this is naked derogation.

But what can Yin Che do? In the original battle for the crown prince, he and his third brother Yin Hai both lost to his eldest brother Yin Ren. In fact, Yin Hai is not a loser, because Yin Hai has no ambition to be the emperor, only Yin Che has been coveting the throne. But in Yin Che's heart, he categorically decided that Yin Hai also wanted to fight for the throne, but he was more hidden. Yin Che thinks, who doesn't want to be the king of a country above tens of thousands of people?

But helplessly, Yin Ren's identity is the eldest son, and he naturally has the legitimacy to be the heir to the throne, which is justifiable, although the father prefers him to be Yin Che, and he has also expressed in the court that he wants Yin Che to succeed as the crown prince, but the ministers in the court are opposed, especially the officials at that time, Hong Rencheng, who was emotional, and talked about the benefits of the primogeniture inheritance system in the court, spraying the emperor's face with spittle, and the old emperor Yin Chengan had no choice but to obey the opinions of the ministers.

Although Yin Chengan has expressed to Yin Che many times in private that he wants him to be the crown prince, he can't compete with these ministers in the court every time. Yin Che was very hurt in his heart, he felt that the throne should be his, and it was the eldest brother who took away his throne. Later, the long-awaited Yin Ren became the crown prince, instead of Yin Che, who was favored by Yin Cheng'an. Later, Yin Ren naturally succeeded to the throne and became the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom.

Yin Che, who has always been favored by his father, has not thought of fighting with Yin Ren, but Yin Ren's methods are more clever, and more than half of the old ministers clearly support Yin Ren as the crown prince and emperor, what better way can he do?

Even so, there are still people who go to the capital Yong'an to complain, on the grounds that Prince Yin Che of Pingxi has too many women, bullying men and women in Southwest Road, and causing public resentment to boil. In fact, Yin Che only had twenty or thirty women in the people in total, but he couldn't help but move a daughter of the Hu family surnamed Dashi in Jiannan Road, and the Hu family made a fuss, so he was criticized. In terms of women, Yin Che is far inferior to Yin Quan, not even one-twentieth of his son.

But the Dashi clan is the Dashi clan, and they have a certain amount of power in the court and the opposition, and spitting stars can also drown people. Especially Yin Che is still a prince who is not liked by the emperor, especially when the officials handed over the impeachment of King Pingxi, Yin Ren was still touched in his heart, and he finally wanted to move this disobedient third brother Yin Che, although he himself was not a good cake in the matter of engaging in women.

Just when everyone thought that Yin Che was going to be completely finished, there was a person who publicly stood up and said a word for Yin Che, this person's surname is Yin, called Yin Shili, is a descendant of the king of Luoyang, the son of the great merchant Gaozu, and the current Marquis of Jingquan, although he is only a small third-class marquis, but after all, he is also a descendant of the royal family, especially his relationship with Yin Ren is also good, when Yin Ren was still the prince, the two of them had the feat of secretly running out to visit the Qinglou together.

Yin Shili loudly questioned an official above the court: "The prince of Pingxi has every opportunity, but he just played with a few beautiful women, what's wrong? Isn't the world the world surnamed Yin? Isn't the prince of Pingxi the son of the first emperor? The prince of Pingxi has made great contributions in the southwest province, and you can't see it? The southwest province is a land of transformation and miasma, and you are ready to drive the king of Pingxi away, do you want to go to the southwest province to become an official yourself? It is recognized that the saint is benevolent and filial piety, are you trying to erase the good name of our saint's friendly brother? ”

When it came to going to the southwest province to be officials, these ministers were collectively silent, if the southwest province was a good place, how could Yin Ren drive Yin Che to such a place to be the prince? It's just that everyone saw that the emperor was repeatedly dissatisfied with Yin Che, so they just used the topic to play, after all, everyone was holding the rice bowl given by the emperor, who didn't look at the emperor's face? Only this Yin Shili dared to say such a thing because he was the emperor and had a good relationship with the emperor.

At that moment, everyone didn't speak, and Yin Ren's face was not very good-looking. However, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Yin Shili stayed behind and told Yin Ren his true thoughts, "Your Majesty, Yin Che is also your brother, he was thrown by you in that poor and remote place in the southwest province, and this life is like that, he can't threaten your throne, why do you want to kill them all? Even if you are pretending to be generous, consider saving him some face, right? Your brother has face, you also have face, why not?"

On the same day, Yin Ren and Yin Shili talked for half an afternoon, and Yin Shili enlightened Yin Ren from many aspects, such as don't take things like money and women as a handle to clean up his subordinates, that will discourage their enthusiasm, this kind of thing, just turn a blind eye, as long as they can do their part well, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. In the end, Yin Ren made up his mind to let his brother continue to be the Prince of Pingxi in Southwest Province and no longer pursue him because of women's affairs.

However, Yin Ren will never let Yin Che be hereditary, he wants to slowly eliminate Yin Che's influence in the court, as long as Yin Che is still squatting in the poor countryside of Southwest Road, he will not have the ability to turn the sky upside down, there is nothing wrong with this. Imperial power is greater than family affection. Besides, Yin Shili also said that his own brothers guarding the border are more relieved than outsiders.

Yin Ren treated the two brothers Yin Che and Yin Hai differently, Yin Hai was sealed by him to the Guannei Dao and became the king of Qin, the same brother, the same prince, Yin Hai held the most elite tens of thousands of Guannei troops in the Great Shang Kingdom, but Yin Che could only squat in the southwest province aggrieved. Yin Ren knows very well that Yin Hai, the brother, is loyal to him and has no second heart, but Yin Che is different, that is the strongest competitor of the year, if it is not for the opposition of the ministers, the father will definitely abolish his position as the crown prince.

Although Yin Che is squatting in the Southwest Road, he is not ambitious, and he governs the Southwest Road as a country, and he wants to let those people in the court know that he Yin Che is okay, and it is wrong to choose Yin Ren as the emperor. Not to mention, in the past 20 years, the southwest province has been well organized, the economy and military have made great progress, the population of the southwest province has increased several times compared with before, and the life of the people below is much better, and Yin Che's reputation among the government and the opposition is quite good.

During this period, an unexpected thing happened, when Yin Shili, the Marquis of Jingquan, and Yin Qing, the prince of Jiangdong, were drinking flower wine in the Shuiyue Tower of Yong'an City, because of an Oiran named Yu Meiniang, they were jealous of each other and fought hard, but Yin Shili relied on his good relationship with the emperor, and accidentally killed Yin Qing, who was also the emperor's grandson. At this time, Yin Shili caused a catastrophe, and the wine woke up in fright, and he didn't wait for the yamen to get it, so he dressed up overnight, and bought the soldiers to escape from Yong'an.

Yin Shili had nowhere to go, and suddenly remembered that when Yin Che, the prince of Pingxi, learned that he had interceded for him and kept his title, he sent someone to write a letter to him, and the letter only said one sentence, great grace is not grateful, if there is something in the future, come to the southwest province, and the widow can solve any matter within your power. After reading the letter at that time, Yin Shili laughed, but he didn't take it seriously, after all, it was also a friendship that they had drunk flower wine together. In retrospect, perhaps no one could solve his problem except Yin Che.

When he was helpless, the desperate Yin Shili went straight to the southwest road and went to Yin Che, only hoping that Yin Che could remember the promise of the year. When Yin Shi left the southwest road, he threw the famous thorn into the Pingxi palace in a panic, and stood at the gate of the palace and waited anxiously. He didn't know if Yin Che would care about his affairs, maybe it was a casual promise at that time, and it was even possible to tie him up and send him to the imperial court, after all, he was a prisoner.

As a result, he didn't expect Yin Che to go out of the mansion to greet him, take him into the Pingxi Palace, and hide him, not allowing anyone in the mansion to reveal the news that Yin Shili was in the mansion. Yin Che took Yin Shili's hand and said with a sincere face: "Brother Shili, back then, your sentence 'The prince of Pingxi has every opportunity, but he just played with a few beautiful women, what's wrong?', saved the widow, and the widow is grateful to you for a lifetime! Now you can rest assured, you can stay in the widow's palace with peace of mind, and the widow will never let you lose!"

Besides, Yinzhong, the king of Jiangdong, heard that Yin Shili had killed his son because he was fighting for a bitch, so how could he not be annoyed? Although Emperor Yin Ren had the intention to favor Yin Shili, after all, the deceased was also the emperor's grandson, and the officials in the court kept impeaching Yin Shili, saying that he had always bullied people and bullied men and women, and Yin Ren could not do it, so he could only announce that he would deprive Yin Shili of his title, and let the Criminal Department issue a sea fishing document to arrest Yin Shili everywhere.

Although Yin Shili hid in the Pingxi Palace, he was very unsure, after all, he was carrying such a big life lawsuit! There is no impermeable wall in the world, and soon the news of Yin Shili hiding in the Pingxi Palace spread to Yong'an City, and the king of Jiangdong, Yinzhong, went to the court to make a fuss and asked the emperor to punish the Prince of Pingxi for harboring criminals.

The matter is big, and Yin Che has no choice, but he will definitely not hand over Yin Shili. It just so happened that the abbot of Longfu Temple had just passed away, and the new abbot had not yet been done, and when Yin Che was helpless, he asked Yin Shili if he was willing to become a monk, if Yin Ruoli wanted to become a monk, Yin Che would secretly seal Yin Ren, and said that Yin Shili had become a monk in fear of sin, so he should not pursue this matter anymore.

After all, Yin Ren and Yin Shili can go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine together, and they will not kill him all. Yin Shili had no choice, and he didn't want to die, so he had to agree hard, Yin Shili shaved his head before the Qin mission arrived, turned into a monk, and was sent to Longfu Temple as an abbot. Of course, Yin Che would not be stupid enough to send Yin Shili to be the abbot in his own name, isn't there still a local government office?

After Yin Ren learned the news, he told King Yin Zhong of Jiangdong that Yin Shili had committed suicide in fear of sin. The emperor of the southwest province is far away, and the king of Jiangdong, Yin Zhong, who has been making trouble for his son's death for more than half a year, has nothing to do about it, because there is indeed no Yin Shili in the Pingxi Palace, and he is not good at asking the emperor to cut off Yin Che's head, right?

It's good that Yin Che is also the emperor's younger brother, and he is always closer than him to the king of Jiangdong, since Yin Shili is dead, this matter can only be stopped. However, in order to compensate Yin Zhong, Yin Ren crowned his Jiangdong County King as the Prince of Jiangdong, and Yin Zhong's son Yin Ji was crowned as the Prince of Jiangdong, and Yin Zhong gave up. After all, he didn't want to get too stiff with the emperor.

Since then, Yin Shili has become the abbot of Longfu Temple, and he has been the abbot of Longfu Temple for more than 30 years, until Yin Quan of Rili Wanji succeeded Yin Che of Rili Wanji as the king of Pingxi County. Yin Che always thought that he had done so well in the Southwest Road, and sooner or later his brother would find out with his conscience and seal himself a hereditary replacement as compensation. But until the day of his death, Yin Che couldn't wait for his brother to give him a hereditary replacement.

Yin Che was lying on the hospital bed, and when he heard that the envoy of Yong'an City came to visit him on behalf of the emperor, he was still asking, the emperor didn't give me a hereditary replacement for Yin Che? Yin Ren really didn't give him a hereditary replacement, but Yin Ren also compensated his younger brother in disguise, that is, Yin Quan rushed before him to welcome Ximen Yuxue, the first beauty of Dashang, to the southwest road to be the princess, and Yin Ren, who has always been lustful, actually tolerated this matter, which also shows that Yin Ren still has some guilt for Yin Che in his heart.

Yin Quan robbed Yin Ren of the first beauty of the big business, and still did not give up, in the southwest road and several nearby roads everywhere to collect beauties, even the beauties of the east and west oceans, large and small countries to collect, there are at least thousands of beauties in the Pingxi palace for Yin Quan to enjoy, Yin Quan also won a "Rili Wanji" title for this. However, Yin Quan didn't care about those statements at all, in the Great Shang Kingdom, as long as the emperor didn't care, who else did he care?

Yin Quan was arrogant and domineering, and even the woman who was favored by the emperor dared to strike first, who would dare to offend Yin Quan? Therefore, when Yin Quan ordered people to build the Pingxi Palace, which was known as a small imperial city and seriously violated the regulations, the new emperor Yin Guang, who had just ascended the throne, also adopted a tacit attitude of calming things down.

And whether it is the Yin Che era of the Japanese and the machine, or the Yin Quan era of the Japanese and the Wanji, Yin Shili, whose legal name is Huitong, is firmly in Longfu Temple as his abbot, and he has a transcendent and unshakable status in the eyes of the two kings of Pingxi. Because if it weren't for him, maybe the title of King Pingxi would not have been there. Although this prince is in this southwest province where birds were once reluctant to, it is also a prince after all. A king is a king.
