Chapter Twenty-Eight: Luck
In Jinling City, in the Qianqing Palace of the Imperial Palace, the Holy Lord was talking with Master Daoyan about the three religions.
The Holy Lord summoned the monks who had come to meet with Wu Sizang in the Fengtian Temple.
Venerable Daoyan met with the Holy Driver, Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Envoys of the Wusi Tibetan Bank.
The Holy Lord, Venerable Dao Yan and the Tantric monks talked about the teachings of Zen Buddhism, and then rewarded and canonized.
After hearing the news of the completion of Ganden Monastery, he was in a good mood, and asked his disciples to convey the holy will on his behalf and summon his Dharma platform to Beijing in the coming year.
After retiring from the court, he summoned the young master to the palace, and the two talked happily.
In recent days, the Holy Lord has suffered from insomnia and dreams, and his old migraine has been greatly reduced, and he has been able to sleep peacefully at night. He never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this time, he also had the heart to understand the mystery, and the two discussed the matter of rebuilding Wudang.
Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang, and when he was waiting for the decree outside the palace for a long time, when he saw Father-in-law Lu coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and begged his father-in-law to make a pass on his behalf.
Gonggong Lu went in for a while, and passed Ji Gang into the hall to reply.
After Ji Gang finished playing, he presented the fold, knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.
Dao Yan tasted tea on the one hand, and secretly checked Longyan on the other.
After reading the recitals and testimonies presented, the Holy Lord turned pale and said nothing, and only replied for a long time: Waiting for the decree outside the palace.
"This idiot...... " the Holy Lord stopped talking, and then sighed.
"I don't know why Your Majesty is worried, can the monk share the worries of the saint?" Dao Yan put down the teacup and replied.
"Hey, it's not the old thirteen who is in trouble. Under the instigation of my brother and daughter-in-law, the two dared to go to Suzhou Mansion to make trouble without permission, connived at their subordinates to loot on the street, and injured the shopkeeper and his men, and the royal face made him lose everything. If he is not punished, I am afraid that he will be turned upside down. ”
"Hehe, so that's it. I'm afraid he doesn't have the guts yet. Dao Yan smiled.
"Hmph, I'm afraid he's pretending to be crazy and stupid. "The Holy Word has a point.
Dao Yan said with a smile: "If it is according to the ancestral system and laws, its crime should be punished by the nine clans." ”
The Holy Lord frowned lightly and sighed: "Jinyi Wei, the excerpt presented by the Suzhou Mansion and the Suzhou Wei Capital Command Envoy has just arrived, and his begging letter has arrived, and he is still quibbling in every way. Aren't you saying that you don't confess yourself? The folds of accusations against him are piled up. If he is stupid, the nine dragon claws on the nine dragon walls still understand that they should be carved into four claws. You say that you are not angry, and you add to my blockage all day long. ”
Dao Yan smiled again: "Holy benevolence, restore his title and title, I hope he can change his course and keep to himself." Now it has aroused the anger of the people, as the saint said, if it is not punished, it will inevitably leave a legacy, it is better to recall the imperial capital, strictly restrain it, and make it repent. ”
"Yes, both a brother and a brother-in-law, how can I bear it in my heart?" the saint sighed repeatedly, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared, so that Gonggong Lu summoned Ji Gang into the hall.
Dressed in brocade clothes and guards, he found out the crime of acting for the king, summoned him to the court, handed him over to the Zongren Mansion for strict control, and then said to Gonggong Lu: "I don't want to see that shrew, send her to the prince's mansion, and after catching up with the princess, send someone back to Datong Mansion." ”
After Ji Gang and Duke Lu received the order, they retreated.
There were only two people left in the hall, the Holy Lord and Dao Yan, and he took out a secret music and handed it to Dao Yan. Dao Yan didn't shy away from it, and took it and looked at it.
"How many sons do you think my nephew has? The Holy Lord asked suddenly.
"Your Majesty is too worried, thinking that that guy is just hiding from the world and confusing the holy hearing, and I don't know. However, there seems to be something wrong with what His Highness did. Dao Yan put it on and folded, and it was inconvenient to say more, so he laughed softly.
"I'm still not at ease. It's still necessary to investigate, and if there is no such thing, it will be fine. What does the young master think?" the Holy Lord frowned, pursed his lips, and wandered around the hall.
"The world has been decided, and the people's minds are stable, so it is not appropriate to make a big move. ”
"You said that you are a great monk, and you don't care about the people's will, you have said it. The Holy Lord laughed.
"One time, another time. Dao Yan replied with a smile.
......
Wen Peng took leave from his husband on this day, and went to Moxuan'an with the "Three Kingdoms" in his hand.
He had one book at home and had not finished reading it. I have a lot of homework on weekdays, so I can only read history in my spare time. The book was left at home and not brought to the academy, so he had to buy another one. Now that I'm reading this book, I want to exchange it with people.
Wen Peng spent a lot of money on books and wanted to save some money, so he posted a notice on the wall of the college to exchange books, but no one cared about it.
A few days ago, I heard Xiaoyu say that the owner of Moxuan'an is a recluse, good at painting landscapes, and has a rich collection of books, so you may have a try.
So, he took the book, walked through the streets, stepped across the stone bridge, and came to the door of Moxuan Nunnery.
Seeing that there were no guys in the store, Wen Peng asked softly, "Is Mr. here?"
No one responded, so Wen Peng had to wait in the store, and saw a lot of landscape paintings hanging on the wall, so he looked at them carefully.
The ink and wash are blue, and the wonderful brushstrokes are lifelike. Thick ink is understated, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful. A few strokes outline a far-reaching, elegant and unworldly fairyland, which makes people indulge in the black mountain and white water, and the vast land of smoke and waves.
Just as he was falling in love with the mountains and rivers, he was tapped on the shoulder.
Wen Peng turned around and saw an old man with kind eyebrows and a pleasant face standing behind him.
The old man, with gray hair and a long beard, was in good spirits, and was looking at himself with a smile.
Wen Peng hurriedly bowed down and said, "Hello Mr. Wang, the students are here to pay a visit." I heard that Mr. had a large collection of books, and the students had the courage to ask for something, and wanted to exchange the student's book for Mr.'s Book of the Later Han Dynasty. ”
When Mr. Wang heard this, he laughed, stroked his beard, and asked Wen Peng how he knew that he had this book.
Wen Peng replied truthfully that he was a student of Gusu Academy, and he heard the words of his classmate Lin Xiaoyu, so he took the liberty to come and give it a try.
After hearing this, Mr. Wang laughed again, and then said: "I can't hide it, the old man does have this book, but it is a book printed by the previous generation, and he regards it as precious. Unless your book is also printed in the previous dynasty, it will be difficult to exchange. ”
When Wen Peng heard this, he was deflated and replied: "I heard that Mr. Gao is noble, he doesn't like fame, and he can't hide from the world, how can he be thick and thin on the past and the present? If they are all hidden at home, it is not as good as Xianyang Palace, and it will be burned clean. ”
After that, he apologized again, and he continued: "The student is abrupt, he shouldn't come to the door to ask for mercy, and the student will leave." ”
Mr. Wang knew that he had something to say, and when he saw that the book in his hand was intact, he knew that he was a lover of books. Although he cherished his talents, if it was said that he would let the book, he would not let Wen Peng leave.
At this time, two or three catchers came to the door, and when they saw a schoolchild in Moxuan Nunnery, they immediately called Wen Peng.
The head of the arrest fast, walked into the store, was about to interrogate, looked intently, saw Mr. Wang was sitting on the chair, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wang, how are you doing recently? Please forgive me. ”
Mr. Wang just chuckled, did not get up, and asked: "Li Da Zhutou, what is your business? Is it possible to close my painting shop?"
Li Zhutou hurriedly smiled: "How dare you, how dare you." Mr. said with a smile, how dare you make trouble here in Xia? This is not in accordance with the will of the above, it is said that a few days ago, a student slandered the king in the street for violating the ancestral system, and Shangfeng asked me to find this person and ask if it was true. ”
Wen Peng felt a little nervous in his heart, and as expected, as Sister Ziyan expected, it seemed that he had still found him. But at this moment, he was surprisingly calm, standing in place, looking up at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Mr. Wang laughed: "Haha, a few days ago, the old man also heard about it. It's just a child, how can he make such a big move?"
Li Zhutou said in a low voice: "Who said it wasn't? Last time I went to Tiansizhuang, Shopkeeper Feng was beaten by them, it was a miserable thing, and now he is still lying on the bed, and the silver he lost is not enough for the soup and medicine." Hey, what do you mean by this?"
Mr. Wang invited Li Zhutou to sit down and replied, "This little boy is here to exchange books for his master's family." Since you're here, it's best to check, and the old man is also at ease. ”
"That's it. It's better to finish the work early, and then I have to talk back to the commander. The student turned around and let Ben take a look. As he spoke, Li Zhutou spread out the portrait.
He glanced at it a few times, stared at the portrait again, and muttered to himself, "Not like it?"
Mr. Wang glanced at it a few times and was about to speak, but he heard another sound outside the door.
Walking in the store, a tall and burly adult dressed in a python robe walked in, his eyes were resolute and profound.
When Mr. Wang looked up, he hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Zheng, what kind of wind blew you here? ”
"Don't make fun of me, old gentleman. Xiaguan was in the holy order and led a ship to the South Seas. Stop in Gusu for a while, one is to purchase goods, and the other is to wait here, and Master Daoyan and others come to meet. It would be a great sin not to come to visit Mr. on the way to the treasure land. The man laughed.
The person who came turned out to be the favored minister of the Holy Lord, Li Zhutou hurriedly got up and saluted Lord Zheng, and then said goodbye to the two.
Master Zheng asked, "Isn't this servant difficult to be a gentleman?"
Mr. Wang said with a smile: "No, no, it's just an order to investigate the case, and Lord Zheng accompanies the old man to the inner hall to reminisce about the past." The student, go to my housekeeper to borrow a book, and ask him to prepare some drinks quickly, so that the old man can entertain Master Zheng. ”
At this time, Wen Peng was standing by the wall, and when he heard the old gentleman's explanation, he hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard.
"If the old man is not old, he really wants to go with the adults, so that he can enjoy the scenery of the South Seas. When you get the opportunity today, you have to tell the old man about this exotic style. ”
"That's natural, but there is still one thing for the lower official, ask Mr. for advice. The brother who went to sea with me has been through the wind and waves for a long time, and he has a lot of discomfort, so please give me a prescription. ”
The old gentleman took Lord Zheng's hand and walked towards the inner hall, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it depends on whether the adult's story is wonderful or not." ”
The two joined hands and walked away laughing.
With a cup of tea, Wen Peng got his wish to borrow the book and took two books out of Moxuan'an.
After thinking about it, he didn't return to the academy, took off his long shirt, went to the back of the theater, and listened to the puppet show.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the earth. Wen Peng put on his shirt and rushed to the academy.
Seeing that the brocade guards were leaving, he hurriedly hid in the forest, and after a long time, he left the forest and returned to the academy.
