There is a semi-natural and semi-artificial big lake Houdehai in the imperial palace of Yong'an City, although this lake imitates the garden style of the south of the Yangtze River but also has royal characteristics, the lake surface is more than 500 acres in size, who can have this style in the world except the royal family?

There is a small island called Tianhua Island in the Houde Sea, the circumference of the island is 1,950 steps, the island name Tianhua is taken from a sentence in the text of the prince An Piao of the previous dynasty, "Wuhua Tianbao, the ruins of the dragon light shooting bull fight." ”

It is the late spring weather, the sun is shining but not hot, the lake water is clear and sparkling, large and small water birds are playing on the lake, at this time, there is a painting boat about five zhang long golden dragon body on the lake rowed over, several little eunuchs and palace maids slowly shook the painting boat forward, Yin Guang sat on the bow of the boat with a fishing rod in hand, a wooden barrel was placed beside him, and the little eunuch Yu Fu stood respectfully behind Yin Guang with the dust.

Yin Guang spends an hour every morning training his more than 200 female sumo wrestlers, and then takes Yu Fu, Wenxiu and others to Houde Sea on time to go boating and catch fish for an hour, and then go back to do carpentry work in the afternoon, every day. Yang Jingzhong also sent people to investigate many times, and the subordinates in charge of monitoring the emperor reported that the emperor was just playful, so Yang Jingzhong was used to this and didn't care.

At this time, Yin Guang, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, was staring at the fishing line under the water, his eyes did not blink, and he suddenly saw the sinking of the fishing line, and he was secretly happy in his heart, this must be a big fish bite.

Yin Guang seized the opportunity to lift it upwards violently, and was overjoyed in his heart, it was a big carp weighing more than three catties! Yin Guang threw the fish onto the boat, and watched it flutter happily, Yu Fu hurriedly threw the dust aside, and came over to help Yin Guang catch the fish into the wooden barrel.

Yin Guang laughed loudly, "Good luck today, I caught a big fish!" Yu Fu, come here, you sit next to me, and watch me catch another big fish for you!" Yu Fu responded with a smile and sat next to the emperor to watch him fish.

Yin Guang talked to Yu Fu about fishing skills, and asked softly as he spoke, "Yu Fu, how is the news of the past few days?

Yu Fu said softly: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, the slave unexpectedly heard that the deputy chief Wei Dequan complained to the chief manager in private, but he was afraid that the chief manager was powerful and did not dare to make any moves, the slave has been paying attention to this person for the past few days, if possible, Wei Dequan should be available to His Majesty." ”

Yin Guang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, this is a big fish." Look, I'll just say it's a big fish!" Sure enough, another big fish was fished out of the water by Yin Guang, and Yin Guang laughed. Yu Fu hurriedly helped the emperor catch the fish into the barrel again.

Yin Guang was in good spirits, holding the fishing rod and sitting on the bow of the boat again, and Yu Fu sat next to him. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew inexplicably on the lake, and in an instant, the waves surged, and the big boat also shook in the wind and waves, and several little eunuchs who rocked the boat exclaimed, "The wind and waves are strong, the emperor is careful!" Wen Xiu held the hull tightly on the boat, and his face was pale with fright.

Yin Guang, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, was furious and shouted: "I am a dignified son of heaven! The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, not to mention that this is still a royal lake? What monsters in the lake dare to disobey my jurisdiction? I am here, who dares to make trouble in the lake?" Before the words fell, the wind and waves really subsided.

At this moment, only a sound was heard on the surface of the water, and a golden carp jumped out of the water and jumped into Yin Guang's arms, Yin Guang and Yu Fu were greatly surprised, only to see that the golden carp winked at Yin Guang, as if to say something to Yin Guang.

Yin Guangxi held the golden carp in both hands, and said silently in his heart, "Fish, do you want to turn into a dragon but can't? I don't know what fate you have with me, you can jump into my arms with one leap? If one day I can also turn into a dragon and take off and truly dominate the four seas, you will blink again." The fish really winked at Yin Guang again.

Yin Guang silently wished in his heart: "If one day, I can take back power from the eunuchs and reorganize the country, I will seal you to turn into a dragon!" The fish jumped in Yin Guang's hand and winked at Yin Guang again. Yin Guang finished his blessing and threw the golden carp into the lake again. All the eunuchs were amazed.

Yu Fu asked strangely: "Your Majesty, the golden carp is very rare, why don't you take it back and raise it in the palace and throw it back into the lake?"

Yin Guang said with a smile: "I won't fish today, and these two big carps in the bucket will also be released! Legend has it that there is a sea eye in this Houde Sea, which leads to the East China Sea, and I don't know whether it is true or false. If it's true, this fish may have come from the East China Sea! Anyway, I'm in a lot of interest today, let's go to Yonghe Temple and have a stick of incense!"

There is a Tianhua Island in the Houde Sea, there is a Yonghe Temple on Tianhua Island, there is a Yonghe Bridge from the dry road to the island directly, but today Yin Guang came by boat unexpectedly.

Yin Guang stood at the bow of the boat, holding his hands, his face was peaceful, but his heart was surging like a lake, these days there were things to tell Yu Fu to do, they all said on the painting boat, the painting boat could not touch the sky, and the ground could not be reached, how could the people sent by Yang Jingzhong eavesdrop? The dignified emperor was so cautious in order to prevent a eunuch from being so careful, how could Yin Guang not be angry or complain in his heart?

In the imperial palace of Yong'an City, the Jinluan Hall is called Yonghe Palace, and there are Yonghe Temple and Yonghe Bridge on Tianhua Island. Since the temple can be built on Tianhua Island in the Imperial Garden, and crowned with the word Yonghe, it must be a royal temple.

In front of him is Tianhua Island under the shade of pine and cypress, Yin Guang abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, only took Yu Fu, turned back to a few eunuchs and palace maids on the boat and said: "I go to the temple to put a stick of incense, you wait here, I am too lazy to move around today, and I will take a boat when I come back in a while." All the eunuchs agreed together and stayed on the boat.

Yin Guang walked in front with his hands, Yu Fu walked behind Yin Guang with the dust, and soon came to the gate of Yonghe Temple, there were two small novices wearing monk's clothes and holding a broom to clean the temple, and saw Yin Guang walking towards the temple from a distance, bowing his head and bowing together, a small novice walked back quickly to report to the abbot.

Yin Guang walked up to the Ji'an Palace, cleaned his hands and incense the Buddha statue, worshiped the Buddha, and was pious, and Yu Fu knelt down behind him. After the incense, Yin Guang and Yu Fu withdrew from the Ji'an Hall and stood at the door of the hall to look.

At this moment, a clear Buddha horn sounded, and a tall monk who was more than sixty years old, wearing a vermilion robe, with nine ring scars on the top of his head, walked slowly, and arrived in front of Yin Guang, smiling, and saluting, "Your Majesty, the poor monk is polite, please go to the abbot for tea." ”

Yin Guang also returned the salute, "I've seen Zen Master Fakong, I'm here to disturb." Zen master please!" The little eunuch Yu Fu followed, the three of them came to the abbot's room, Yin Guang sat down, the monk Fakong poured tea for Yin Guang, and Yu Fu stood respectfully behind Yin Guang.

Fakong Zen master is surnamed Yin, according to the generation or Yin Guang's uncle, when he saw through the red dust, fell out of the family, so far there are more than 40 years, the current Yonghe Temple abbot monk.

Yin Guang asked: "Zen master, when I was fishing in the Houde Sea today, a golden carp jumped into my arms, blinking enthusiastically, the disciple didn't know what the omen was, and asked the Zen master to give a lecture or two. ”

The monk Fakong joined together and said with a smile: "All things are born with spirits, and when the goldfish is in his arms, it is naturally a happy event for the Lord, so why should Your Majesty ask the old man?"

Yin Guang sighed: "There is the Great Xia Kingdom in the north, and there is a vassal king outside, so how can the disciple be happy?"

Monk Fakong didn't answer, but just smiled, "Your Majesty just drink tea, everything is destined by heaven, and everything is just as it is." Lao Gao has been a monk for more than 40 years, and the four major ones have long been empty. Before he finished speaking, he quietly threw a look at Yin Guang. Yin Guang suddenly, took a sip of tea, and stroked his mouth with his hand.

Yin Guang stood up and said, "The disciple won't bother today, come to worship the Buddha another day, and then ask the Zen master to talk about the Buddha's principles, and say goodbye." Monk Fakong smiled and returned the salute.

Yu Fu also bowed to Monk Fakong, followed behind Yin Guang, the two left the abbot's room, and Monk Fakong sent out. The master and servant went out of Yonghe Temple, turned around and asked the monk to stay, walked slowly all the way around to look at the scenery of the island, came to the shore and boarded the painting boat, Yin Guang sat alone on the bow of the boat and looked at the lake, I don't know what he was pondering.

Yu Fu was still talking and laughing on the boat with a few eunuchs and palace maids as usual, Yin Guang quietly crushed the wax pill in the palm of his hand while people were unprepared at the bow of the boat, took out a small note from the pill, and after looking down and reading it, his face was happy, but he immediately stuffed the note in his mouth and chewed it casually. He turned around and said, "Yu Fu, bring fish food!"

Yu Fu agreed, and took a small green brocade box containing fish food, Yin Guang took the box, opened it, grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it on the lake, and suddenly the fish tide surged, and many fish jumped out of the water in order to compete for food, and the lake suddenly became spectacular.

Yin Guang said with a smile, "Sure enough, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, but I don't know how big the real sea is, and one day I must go to see the real sea, the real rivers and lakes." ”

......

Meizhou County, Lingnan Province, guarded the yamen, and Zhao Yingqi, the county guard, sat in the barracks with a frown, and discussed business with the warden Zhou Guyang, Gongcao Liu Mingqing, and Wang Hexuan. It turned out that Zhao Yingqi had just received the news sent by the order of Tengshan County, and in recent days, more than 1,000 thieves in Tengshan County had plundered the countryside and gathered in the mountains and forests.

Several people are discussing, I don't know where this gang of thousands of thieves came from, I am afraid that the county guard will have to ask the imperial court to mobilize a large number of garrisons to suppress the bandits, which will delay too much time. At this time, a team leader came to report that Zhu Juxian, the captain of Zhenwei, asked to see the county guard.

In the barracks, several people looked at each other, and Zhou Guyang said with a smile: "By the way, there are soldiers in the Lingnan Palace, why don't you ask the Lingnan King to send troops to suppress the bandits?"

Zhao Yingqi pondered for a while, did not answer, and said to the head of the team who reported the news, "Captain Zhu, please!" After thinking about it, he sighed again, "I'd better pick him up in person." Liu Gongcao, is there any good tea? Let's brew a pot for everyone to taste. ”

Gongcao Liu Mingqing said with a bitter face, "Lord County Shou, I just have a little good tea, it's not been a few days, and I'll let you drink it!"

Zhou Guyang smiled: "Slow, your tea, and I have half a can, you promised me this old fox a few days ago, but you haven't given it to me yet!"

Don't drive Wang Hexuan laughed, "A few adults, the thieves in Tengshan County are not busy dealing with it first, let's send away the thieves who came to the county to guard the yamen and loot first!"

Zhao Yingqi turned around, put his fingers on his lips and made a silent gesture, pursed his lips, and walked out of the barracks to greet the visiting Zhu Juxian.
