Chapter 83: The donor stays and has a relationship with the Buddha
(The only book friend group in the Southern Dynasty 2oo7o2oo9, welcome to join, chat, cultivate and cultivate feelings, you deserve it!)
Yangzhou at night is gorgeous and picturesque, which is really a big city, compared to Jing County and other places like poor countryside.
As an important place of state and county, Yangzhou set up the Assassin History Mansion, set up a three-level yamen, and imitated the central government to set up six departments, namely: the official room, the household room, the ceremonial room, the military room, the torture room, and the workshop.
The history of a state assassin, the official of the feudal territory, holds the power of the whole county, and the three levels of yamen below have the position of "Taishou", responsible for civil trials, and as for the six rooms, each performs its own duties. It can be said that the political system has been quite perfect, and in a word, a large state and county is almost equal to a small imperial court.
In the past, the power of the assassin was not so great, and he and Taishou restrained each other. It was only later that the imperial court declined, the monarch was weak and the young council members, and the power of the assassin gradually expanded, faintly becoming a trend of secession - the most obvious point is that now the post of assassin is hereditary.
What does it mean to be hereditary?
It means that this state and county is basically a certain family, from father to son, and son to grandchild......
There is a proverb that says: The world is not the king's land. If the prefecture and county lose the rules and become a state of China, then the dynasty is not far from falling.
Yangzhou Yamen, too shou council office.
Yangzhou Taishou surnamed Wang, the name "Pu", the word "should know", this year is 42 years old, in the prime of life.
The entire Yangzhou was run by Yuan Wenchang like an iron bucket, and Wang Yingzhi was naturally a henchman of the Yuan family, so he could hold an important position.
Every night, he would review official affairs at the council's office, and then select some important ones to submit to Yuan Wenchang for review and approval.
"Huh, is there such a thing?"
He suddenly let out a voice in surprise, holding a scroll in his hand: "The scholar is both civil and military, and he bravely captures people and slaughters the coachman......"
After reading it, his eyes gradually lit up: "Chen Daoyuan, a scholar from Jing County, sounds very familiar...... By the way, didn't Daoist Zhengyang mention it last time? As long as Chen Daoyuan came to the prefecture and county, he would send someone to the Taoist temple to inform ......"
"This son. It came early. ”
He didn't have the heart to go through the other papers, so he got up and began to pace—a habit of his thoughts.
"It's just an ordinary scholar, why does Zhengyang value it so much? Could it be that there is something different about this Chen Daoyuan......
"The young general respects Zhengyang as the 'Taoist father', which is not trivial. Adults have expressed dissatisfaction with this title. Although among the three sons, the young general is the smartest. The most important person, regarded as a candidate for future assassination. But...... After all, it's the future, not the present. ”
Thinking of this, he made a decision: "This matter must be reported to the adults, and then Zhengyang will be notified." ”
Wang Yingzhi has been immersed in officialdom for many years and knows the way of power. When it comes to this level, the so-called brother-son relationship, these relationships are not reliable, but can become a disaster. It is true that Yuan Wenchang vigorously cultivated Brother Yuanshu, but if Brother Yuan Shu was anxious, he would cross the rules and recklessly cultivate his wings and minions. Then it may make Yuan Wenchang feel unhappy, and even think that this son is trying to seek power and usurp the throne.
After all, Lao Tzu is still in good health, and he doesn't want to abdicate his power, so you, who are a son, are in a hurry to come up, don't you want to rebel?
It is natural for the father to pass on the family business, but before it is officially passed on, as a son, he can't reach out and ask for it. Come and rob it, then it will be a big rebellion and should be killed!
The more powerful the person, the deeper the attachment to the position, and the more taboos there are. In all dynasties, there were basically emperors who were deposed. Even the case of killing the prince is rooted in this.
Wang Yingzhi felt that the current Yuan Wenchang Spring and Autumn Period was at its peak, and it would hold power for at least a few years. If he was in a hurry to go to Yuan Geshu's side, he was committing a big taboo.
"It's decided, Chen Daoyuan will investigate, organize it into a file and submit it to the adults. ”
As for why the Zhengyang Daoist paid so much attention to Chen Sanlang, Wang Yingzhi didn't know the real reason, and subconsciously thought that it was because the major general wanted to attract talents.
......
After a night, when you first arrive, you naturally have to wander around. At this time, there is not much time left for the August Township Test, and the effect of grinding guns is not great, so it is better to go outside these days. Otherwise, when you arrive in Yangzhou, you don't even know what the state and county look like, isn't it equivalent to coming in vain?
The practice of human feelings is the article, but the practice of the world is an official.
When I had breakfast, I asked the shopkeeper about some good places in Yangzhou.
The shopkeeper grinned: "Childe, the most interesting place in Yangzhou is, of course, the Qinhuai River, if you don't go to the Qinhuai River in this life, it will be in vain to pretend to be the wind and flow." ”
Ten miles of Qinhuai, ten miles of wind and moon, is indeed famous all over the world. A long time ago, when Chen Sanlang heard this name, he heard a cocoon in his ears. In Nanyang Mansion, there is an inlet, known as "Little Qinhuai", but it is not much inferior to the main owner.
Qinhuai is prosperous, incomparable, and it is a gold cave that eats people and does not spit out bones. Throughout the year, there are often literati who go there, are fascinated and forget to return, sing songs day and night, indulge in it, when the last penny is squeezed out, worthless, they will immediately be driven out by the old and bustard turtle slaves, and live on the streets, and even have no money to go home, and even die in a foreign land, it is also a common thing.
Chen Sanlang inexplicably remembered two poems: "The dream of Yangzhou once in ten years won the reputation of Qing and Lou Bo." ”
Although this Yangzhou is not the other Yangzhou, it is surprisingly consistent in many aspects.
smiled at the moment: "Is there any other place besides Qin Huai?"
The shopkeeper said: "Ten views of Yangzhou, Qin Huaiwei, and nine other scenes." Then he wrenched his fingers and said them one by one, quite carefully: Slender Moon Lake, Mountain Color Tower, Twenty-four Bridges, Feilai Peak......
Chen Sanlang knew the reason for his hard work, and after listening to it, he threw out a string of money.
The shopkeeper took it, smiling, in fact, running in the inn, the monthly salary is not much, but the extra reward income of the guests is more generous, and when he meets the master who has a generous hand, he throws a silver ingot, which is equal to his salary for several months.
After listening to the ten views of Yangzhou, Chen Sanlang was quite interested in the Slender Moon Lake, so he decided to go there today to have a look.
Slender Moon Lake is a lake in the city, covers an area of more than ten acres, the water is living water, the water quality is clear, the shore is a circle, the willow is planted all over, and the water surface grows continuous lotus, when the flower blooms in the season, the flowers are enchanting and delicate, the beauty is overwhelming, so it has the reputation of "three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus".
In fact, three of the ten scenic spots in Yangzhou are inseparable from the Slender Moon Lake, which is equivalent to being connected together, such as the Mountain Color Tower, such as the Twenty-Four Bridges, such as the Feilai Peak, etc.
Asking the way, after walking for more than half an hour, Chen Sanlang came to the lake, looked around, and saw the rippling blue waves and lotus flowers in full bloom - the current season, isn't it the flowering period?
Red and green, just like the poem: the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red!
Chen Sanlang was happy to see it, and it was really worth the trip.
Walking along the shore of the lake, unconsciously walking out of a long way, I saw an ancient tower standing in front, 18 stories high, the spire of the tower is like a needle, piercing the sky.
The Xia Yu Dynasty re-released the family, so many towns and cities were built with pagodas and temples, but such a high one, it is relatively rare.
Mountain color tower.
About the origin of this tower, there is an allusion, when the tower was built, there was no need for green bricks, the main building materials are monks digging mountain stones on the peaks outside the city, and then polishing them into bricks one by one, and then using stone bricks to make thoroughly.
This kind of process is a lot of hard work, it is simply not human torture, and it cannot be achieved without great perseverance.
It took ten years to build the pagoda, because the whole body maintains the color of the mountain stone, the wind and rain do not invade, and the years are hard to wear, so it is named "mountain color pagoda".
Behind the mountain tower, a mountain peak flashed. The shape of this peak is somewhat strange, elliptical and straight, and it is very abrupt on the surface of the lake.
Flying to the peak.
The story of Feilai Peak is even more mysterious, saying that many, many years ago, there were snake demons in Slender Moon Lake, making waves and eating countless people. This matter was known to the gods in the sky, so they threw out a mountain peak, shattered the void, and directly suppressed the snake demon.
That mountain peak is the later Feilai Peak.
Because of this story, Chen Sanlang was more interested in Feilai Peak, standing on the shore and looking at it for a long time, but no matter how you look at it, the mountain peak is the mountain, and I can't see any clues.
Follow the corridor and come to the front of the mountain color tower and climb the steps. At this moment, there are many pilgrims who come to the tower to offer incense, men, women and children, rich and poor......
There are monks in the tower to preside.
Entering the tower, Chen Sanlang looked around, thinking that the tower was too noisy and noisy, and felt that it was not very interesting, and was about to step out.
"Amitabha, please stay here for this benefactor. ”
Suddenly, a Buddha horn sounded in my ears, surprisingly loud, as if it sounded in my heart.
Chen Sanlang was taken aback, looked back, and saw an old monk. The monk was tall and thin, covered in skin and bones, and his gray robe was especially broad, and his face was not covered with a few taels of flesh, his eyebrows and eyes were deeply sunken, and his chin was sparsely depleted with a few whiskers...... This image can't be beaten with the so-called "high monks".
"Uh, this master, you call me?"
Chen Sanlang felt strange.
The old monk grinned, there were few teeth left in his mouth, and he said: "Exactly, the poor monk Guan Benefactor has a wisdom root, and a circle of brilliance behind his head is contained but not exposed. ”
Chen Sanlang was stunned when he heard it, what body has wisdom roots, what is a circle of brilliance behind his head but not revealed, how does it sound like telling a story. He still said that he wanted to escape into the empty door by himself, is this old monk a madman?
"Master, I'm just here to see, and I'll leave after reading it, I'm hungry, and I'm in a hurry to have lunch. ”
The old monk smiled slightly: "You can eat at any time, but if you miss the opportunity, you won't come again." ”
In an instant, his smile was warm and bright, and the image of his whole person changed and became very kind, and his words were very comfortable to listen to, so comfortable that people could not be suspicious at all, and they were willing to nod their heads and agree to whatever he asked.
Airplanes!
The sword box in his arms moved slightly, and the confused look in Chen Sanlang's eyes disappeared in an instant, and he lowered his head: "Master, I'm really hungry." ”
As he spoke, he trotted out of the mountain tower without looking back.
The old monk in the back had a look of surprise on his face, and he couldn't understand why this scholar was able to break free from his tongue and understand: "Amitabha!
