0138 The widow is sick, the widow is lustful
Although Luoyang, the capital of the gods, is a major city where powerful people gather, the young king's ceremonial journey is still very eye-catching. When he arrives at the Luoshui Coast Fang District, it is filled with water and land, with many pedestrians, and the bustling and noisy are several times that of the Luxin Fang, which is located in the southeast.
Li Tong has always been quite interested in the world of Luoyang, but he has been threatened by surveillance since leaving the palace. Apart from the Wangshuo court meeting, he hardly went out much, and he had no way to take a closer look at the people in the neighborhood.
The same is true today. When the team was passing through Xinzhong Bridge, it attracted people from both sides to stop and watch. In the past, Li Tong had to lift up the curtains and curtains to enjoy the scenery along the way, but this time he couldn't even lift the curtains and ordered to speed up.
If it is just a royal mansion, it is not easy to drive away pedestrians on the bustling streets. However, the guide in front is Fu Youyi and a group of Hegong County yamen runners, so they have fewer concerns and are responsible for rushing pedestrians in front, so that the car can pass by.
When the team reached Hengjie Street outside Linfang, Luobei, and there were more than a dozen monks riding horses, one by one, one with strong and mighty heads, and they looked shiny. There was no such kindness as a monk's son should have.
Among these monks, a more eye-catching young man dressed in secular world was Feng Changsi. He went to Weiguo Temple to inform him first and led a group of monks back to greet him.
Feng Changsi felt very awkward when he saw the young king driving, and when he saw the young king driving, he rode his horse to the front, approached the carriage and reported: "The monks in the temple know that the king is about to arrive and are arranging to greet him."
Li Tong lifted a corner of the car curtain, poked his head out and nodded slightly to Feng Changsi, "Thank you for your hard work, Changsi."
Although the monks were vicious all the way, they became obedient after meeting with the etiquette. They did not show off any more and just followed them.
The reason why they did this was naturally not because of Li Tong's face, but because they were Xue Huaiyi's little pony, and it was also a blessing that Feng Changsi, Xue Huaiyi's nephew, was summoned. Otherwise, even the Wu family would not dare to call them around.
With these dozen monks leading the way, the team moved smoothly. Fu Youyi and the Hegong County yamen runners were all in high spirits and very proud.
The capital of Shendu is bounded by Luoshui, Luoyang County to the north, and Henan to the south is today's Hegong County. The two counties are both Chi County in the Jin-Nei, and the daily affairs of their respective county governments are inevitably subject to friction and disputes, so the relationship is really not good.
Fu Youyi was so excited that he was actually a little nervous when he was able to follow the young king to Weiguo Temple. When he passed by Hegong County Party halfway, he even sent someone to send a group of yamen runners, for fear of being blocked in the Luoyang County District.
This is true. When the team continued to move forward and bypassed Shanglinfang, Luoyang County yamen rushed over and seemed very aggressive. However, when they saw the dozen shiny brains of the team riding horse escorts, they couldn't help but feel a little confused and shrank and dared not come forward to stop and provoke.
The most exciting thing in life is to sway the city in front of the old enemy and the other party is helpless. Therefore, these yamen runners in Hegong County all exploded happily, and they inevitably flattered the book Master Fu really has a broad friendship and a broad mind, and can rely on noble people. He is lucky to be arrogant on the territory of Luoyang County, which is a majesty that even the county magistrates and the palaces do not have!
When Fu Youyi heard his subordinates flattery and praise, he felt very satisfied, and at the same time he was full of expectations for this trip to Weiguo Temple.
Afterwards, things did not disappoint Fu Youyi's expectation. Weiguo Temple was also very enthusiastic about the arrival of the young king. In addition to sending monks to welcome him, several monks stood outside the yard waiting for guidance.
When Li Tong walked outside the yard gate, he got off the car. When he looked up, he felt very moved by the style of Weiguo Temple. The temple gate was directly on the canal in front of the yard. The canal connected to the Grand Canal, and it was inevitable that boats would come and go. But at this point, they had to stop the oars and keep their sounds. They could only walk on the shore by the boatman. It was obviously a prosperous section of the boat transportation, but it was quiet and not noisy at all.
The temple is also very large, and even the temple walls are directly used as yard walls. There are many lions and beasts guarding the stone fences. The outer walls of the tall temple walls are exquisitely painted by the Buddha. There are golden statues of guarding the Dharma at each side of the gate. The doorsteps are as high as dozens of floors. Standing outside the fang street, you can't even see the flat ground in the temple.
"The little monk Faguang is a guest in the temple. He knows that the king is here to worship Buddha today, and he is here to stand up and wait for him."
The Zhike monk was wearing a green robes and looked in his thirties. He smiled and looked a bit fat and big-faced. He looked very kind, at least much kinder than the monks raised by Xue Huaiyi.
Li Tong raised his arm and bowed, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is here to worship the Dharma and worship the Buddha. He actually asked the messengers in front of the Buddha to go out to greet him. He was really frightened."
"The king is not a commoner, and it is appropriate to treat him with courtesy. It is not said that Master Xue has made great achievements in the past, but the king has given him talents and expanded the Buddhist scriptures to make the Dharma more widely passed on. If monks do not treat him with courtesy, they will lose their sincerity in obedience to the Dharma."
The monk Fa Guang raised his arm and led him to Xun, and arranged for the monk behind him to lead the young king Yi to enter the temple through the side door.
These monks were so polite to Li Tong, not just because of Xue Huaiyi, but also because of the Buddhist song "The Lotus Life Sutra" compiled by Li Tong. The "Big Cloud Sutra" that created momentum for the Wuzhou Revolution was compiled in Weiguo Temple.
To be honest, Li Tong really has no good feelings for these monks. It’s not that he doesn’t respect Buddhism, but that he just has any purity and impurity as long as he relies on population propaganda.
Previously, the offering scriptures that Xue Huaiyi sang and danced were encouraged by the monks from Weiguo Temple. This made Li Tong feel that these monks were a little unauthorized. You lick yours, I lick mine, everyone will not get in the water of the river. You can't have no imagination, so you come to me to change the script and steal the show, and it will be changed, and it will be in a mess.
When he walked up the steps and entered the main entrance of the temple, Li Tong felt even more that this Buddhist temple was so grand. The large square paved with bluestone was neatly arranged with many copper and iron sculptures, and the corridors were spread across and out, connecting many heavy-topped pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, and the architectural levels were clear, which was dazzling.
Even in the forbidden area, except for the main palace areas, such a colorful, magnificent building group is rarely seen.
When Li Tong walked into the front courtyard of the Buddhist temple, a group of more than a dozen monks wearing monks of various colors came forward and gave introductions. There were many names, and Li Tong couldn't remember them at all, but he just responded with a smile.
Through the introduction of the monk from the guest, Li Tong probably understood that the main person present at the moment was the monks in the temple, which were relatively secular. As for those monks, they all concentrated in the inner Buddhist temple to compile the "The Great Cloud Sutra" and had no time to handle these common plans of welcoming and sending off.
Li Tong is not very interested in those mages. He is a group of tricks that confuse the public and subvert the Li family. Although I lick it, I am still a thief with his left hand and his right hand. In the future, the feng shui will change. I will give you a list sooner or later!
He complained in his heart that he still had to live up to his face. How could he not worship Buddha when he entered the temple? In addition to worshiping Maitreya Buddha worshipped in the main hall, Li Tong also solemnly worshipped Empress Dowager Zhou Zhongxiao, who was worshipped in the inner hall, that is, his grandmother's mother, Mrs. Rongguo, Mrs. Yang.
After some humiliation, Li Tong felt that he should receive some benefits. It should be noted that he lost not only dignity but also real losses of wealth. He took action and gave more than 100,000 yuan in goods. Li Tong himself felt very distressed, but the monks did not have any eyelids.
The reason why he brought Liu Youqiu and other officials to come with him was that he was a little unfamiliar with monks and Taoists after all. He was afraid that he would not ask for any benefits, so he still asked his subordinates to negotiate.
As for Li Tong himself, he returned to the ward arranged for him under the guidance of the monk.
On the way, the monks showed off their charms. They said that they were lucky that the king chose a Buddhist ritual day when he worshiped the temple today, so they could arrange it calmly. If they were on the Buddha's birthday, the Ullamban Festival, etc., there were not many houses in the temple to live in, so many dignitaries could not live in the temple, and could only live in the surrounding folk houses.
When Li Tong heard this, he felt aroused in his heart and then asked: "The monk's sedan area is solemn and solemn, which makes people dare not slacken. Is there any beautiful villa in the temple that can be enjoyed by others?"
There are probably many such questions answered, and the monk also opened his mouth and introduced them in a slight manner. After a detailed summary, he quickly talked about the aspects that Li Tong was interested in: "There is a garden in the northeast of the fang, with more than 20 acres of land, with many rare flowers and trees. It is the other family under the general of the Nanyaqiu. In fact, it was the former residence of Gong Siming, the ruling of Luoyang, but later..."
Hearing this question, Li Tong couldn't help but slammed his forehead, and he couldn't help but secretly exclaim that he was still thinking about how to introduce Qiu Shenji into the storm of Xu Jingzhen's false case, and related it to the unlucky Gong family. Unexpectedly, they had already had contact with each other.
This is actually very normal. Qiu Shenjie is in charge of the defense of the Shendu City, and the Gong brothers are mostly officials in Luozhou. They inevitably have official exchanges and then extend to private friendships. If there is no relationship at all, it is unlikely.
Li Tong couldn't help but feel the importance of the channel when he learned such a simple matter. The facts are there, it depends on whether you can inquire. If this information can play a big role in the future, the money paid to Weiguo Temple today would be worth it.
Arriving at the temple arranged by the temple, the servants of the prince's residence had already settled down. Li Tong called Zheng Jin and asked, and learned that the young lady Tang Lingshu had already slipped out while the temple was relaxed, waiting to get the Weiguo Temple later, and found a chance to return. She could settle down at home with a background, and no longer had to worry about the palace.
The young king is romantic, and it is not a big deal to take in a few beautiful women of innocent origins. I am sick and lustful. What can you do?
After the matter was arranged, Li Tong called Tian Dasheng again and asked him to find some convenient paths from the temple and quickly contacted people in the neighborhood to do small moves.
Originally, he planned to come forward and go to the market to attract attention. Now that he knows that the other business of the Qiu family is originally related to the Gong family, he can even save himself from coming forward and even clear his relationship.
Qiu Shenji has blocked his house for so long, and finally found an opportunity to repay him! You are so fucking blocked that I dare not go out. My son is happily setting up a house outside to support his wife. I can't kill you!
