Chapter 2: Master Kurong

A hundred days are over, on this day, the Dali palace is full of lights, the little palace maids and the little eunuchs are busy shuttling inside and outside the palace, arranging all kinds of colorful, festive cloth decorations, the whole palace, including the whole Dali are filled with a festive atmosphere.

Only poor Xiao Duan Xingzheng was lying in the arms of the queen's personal maid with a sad face, tormented by the prince's clothes made by the internal officials who made clothes for the palace in only 10 days.

"Damn, who researched it, this body is so small, and he has so many clothes, and he is not afraid of covering the master to death. While slandering the internal official who made the clothes, and at the same time pretending to put on those clothes like a child, Xiao Duanxing's heart can be said to have scolded me I don't know how many times.

Stupidly dressed and stupidly looking at the queen's personal maid, Xiao Duanxing's mind never stopped for a moment" It's also okay, Dali Duan's family, isn't Tianlong Temple the Eight Divisions of Tianlong, after all, it is a plot that I am familiar with, otherwise, if you call yourself a god in the original aperture, what so-called martial arts novels you have seen, heard, and understood, if you really go into the Valley of the Wicked to deal with the ten wicked people, or go to Mongolia to get acquainted with Guo Jing, or go back to the Qin Dynasty to play soy sauce behind Xiang Shaolong, then I don't know how I really died. ”

Fortunately, our little Duan Xing's luck seems to be good, directly worn in the emperor's house, although in the Northern Song Dynasty, Dali Duan's family is slightly weak, and the regime still seems to have a tendency to be slowly hollowed out, but it is still the emperor's family, and there is also a Yang finger of the peerless school, and there is Tianlong Temple in the back, think about the novels you usually read, this is not to say that you have crossed into the waste material, or that there is nothing, Zuihou is infinitely coquettish anyway, it really makes Duan Xing feel incredible, and he feels a lot of pressure.

"I can't disgrace the faces of my predecessors. This is the only conclusion that Duan Xing has come to after deeply understanding the current environment.

After serving the queen mother, Taohong helped Duan Xing finish wearing a piece of Zuihou's clothes, and said happily to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the little prince is really well-behaved, such trivial clothes can be worn in a few clicks." ”

"Yes, Xing'er will be able to become a great weapon in the future, and it will not be in vain for my hard work in pregnancy for ten months. The queen also looked at Duan Xing with a smile on her face and said. Every parent in this world likes others to praise their children, and the queen mother is obviously no exception.

Taohong picked up the dressed Duan Xing to the mother's bad, and continued to say happily: "Niangniang, I heard that Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple is going to come to pray for the prince in person today." ”

Gently rubbing the clothes on Duan Xing's body, the queen said softly: "Uncle Kurong is the elder of Bixia, so don't lose your etiquette when the time comes." ”

"Slave and maid of the province. ”

"Congratulations bixia", "Congratulations bixia", "Congratulations bixia"......

In the palace hall dedicated to banqueting ministers, Emperor Baoding was accepting the congratulations of all the courtiers and officials in Dali with a spring breeze on his face.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the main hall: "Master Kurong of Tianlong Temple and his party have arrived!"

As soon as I heard that Master Kurong had arrived. All the officials in the entire palace looked out of the main hall together. After all, in terms of seniority. Master Kurong is now the highest ranking of the Duan clan in Dali. And he has been in the world for many years, and a large part of the fact that he can come out this time should be due to the face of the little prince Duan Xing, because, whether it is the ascendancy of Emperor Baoding, or the previous prince who fled to Tianlong Temple for help, he has not been able to let Master Kurong come forward.

As the voice of the eunuch fell, I saw a withered face outside the main hall, and the old monk with the mark of the fetus came slowly, with his hands folded, two gloves holding a circle of Buddhist beads, wearing a yellow robe, strong physique, according to modern algorithms, it should be more than 180 cm, exuding an invisible aura around his body, from the first step into the hall, the officials in the hall seemed to be under an invisible pressure, and even the breathing began to be nervous, only Emperor Baoding, King Zhennan and Gao Xiangguo did not seem to be affected much. It can be seen that Master Kurong's skills should also be above the first-class, but it seems that he has not reached the congenital or acquired perfection realm. Otherwise, the three Baoding Emperors, who have just reached the ranks of first-class masters, will definitely be suppressed and affected by the realm.

There are also four eminent monks who follow Master Kurong, who are like flowing clouds and water between steps, without a trace of dust, and they are obviously also very skilled. The four masters are also the same as Master Kurong, all of them have their hands folded, and they have a circle of Buddha beads in their hands, and there is a faint connection between their walks, which should form a formation, and if people who don't understand it attack rashly, they will definitely fall into the joint attack of the four.

Just like the morning bell and dusk drum, accompanied by Master Kurong's words "Amitabha!" , the officials in the hall seemed to suddenly regain their strength and were no longer restrained by their aura, and the atmosphere suddenly began to be active again.

Emperor Baoding took the lead in welcoming him, followed by King Zhennan and Gao Xiangguo. "Uncle, you're here. Emperor Baoding said affectionately to Master Kurong.

Facing the affectionate Emperor Baoding, Master Kurong just glanced at him lightly, and said: "Bixia, the monk has broken off his secular feelings, and please call Bixia the name of the poor monk, Master Kurong." ”

I don't know if I have long been accustomed to it or I am not aware of Master Kurong's indifference, Emperor Baoding still said to Master Kurong affectionately: "Uncle and grandfather, Master Kurong, in short, you are my elder after all, it is right to respect you more, this time Uncle and Grandpa can come to pray for Xiao'er." ”

Emperor Baoding was very enthusiastic that Master Kurong could get out of the world. This is not only a blessing for Duan Xing, but also a guarantee of political stability and faith, which has its historical reasons.

Since the founding of Dali in 937 A.D., the whole country respects Buddhism, therefore, Dali is also known as Miaoxiang. Buddhism was introduced to Yunnan during the Nanzhao period and prevailed in Dali. The dogma of Confucianism and the morality of Buddhism are almost one. Confucian scholars all worship Buddhism, and Buddhist teachers and monks also recite Confucian books, and there is a so-called "Confucianism" (also known as "Confucianism"), and teachers and monks are appointed as officials. Monks and monks also gained political status through the imperial examinations. It can be said that Dali is to govern the country with Confucianism, to govern the heart with Buddhism, and many kings have successively become monks.

Therefore, the arrival of Master Kurong, from the perspective of historical inheritance, is the legal recognition of the reign of Emperor Baoding, of course, it may also be the recognition of Duan Xing, whether it is for Emperor Baoding, or for Duan Xing, in short, it is the recognition of his lineage, which makes Emperor Baoding very happy.

Secondly, Master Kurong as the host of Tianlong Temple, his arrival is not only the recognition of the Baoding Emperor, but also a kind of faith support, as the Buddhist support of Dali, Tianlong Temple bears an important role in the spiritual pillar of Dali, it can be said that if Tianlong Temple does not recognize the emperor of this generation, then well, the entire Dali country may have 95% The above people will not recognize you as an emperor, and the most haode situation is that your decree is not smooth, and the approval documents you write cannot leave the palace half a step, and it is almost a national rebellion, and then overthrow the rule.

Therefore, the most important thing for the successive emperors of Dali is whether it can be recognized by the host of the contemporary Tianlong Temple. As long as it has the support of Tianlong Temple, even if the emperor's perverse behavior is overthrown by the courtiers, Tianlong Temple will come forward to call on the people of Dali to endure or mobilize the people to kill the rebellious courtiers again. But fortunately, in most cases, Tianlong Temple ignores worldly things and is dedicated to Buddha, which also saves the hearts of most emperors.

So when Master Kurong entered the main hall, Emperor Baoding was the happiest, and the other courtiers looked at Emperor Baoding with more respect, only the corners of Gao Xiangguo's eyes twitched faintly, and his eyebrows were even tighter, but then his face showed a smile like a warm spring breeze, and he followed Emperor Baoding closely.
