Chapter 419 A Sample Essay of Head Iron

After looking around, Concubine Qing closed her eyes and rested her mind.

Occasionally, a concubine would come to greet her, but she would just chat a few words and then stop making a sound.

Soon it was time, and Master Hongguang, with a white beard and eyebrows, twirled Buddhist beads and led several disciples into the altar.

hum~
There was a whisper.

Although Master Hongguang is famous all over the world, Emperor Changxing's concubines have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and many of them saw him for the first time.

Although all the concubines were well aware of the strict rules of the palace, they still couldn't help but feel a commotion at this moment.

snort!
The queen glanced back coldly before standing up, "I have seen the master."

The surrounding voices were quickly cut off, and everyone followed the queen to stand up and greeted in unison.

"The poor monk has met all the ladies, and the ladies are polite."

Master Hongguang raised his downcast eyes and looked around.

When it fell on Concubine Qing, his eyes flickered.

After saluting each other, he didn't make a sound, and ordered the young apprentices to start praying according to the procedure.

"Quick," a clear and beautiful voice suddenly sounded from below, "Record all the master's words and deeds, and I will recite them and memorize them by heart after I go back, in order to pray for God's blessing..."

Bold!

The queen who had just sat down angrily turned her head to look for her reputation.

However, Imperial Concubine Qing didn't even look at her, she just paid attention to ordering her female officials and personal maids.

"Yes, madam!"

The maids had already made preparations, with paper and pens laid out on the table, and each of them would perform their own duties, each with their earphones upright, carefully transcribing the words of Master Hongguang above.

what!
The other concubines looked at each other, and there was a strange flash in each other's eyes.

The recent Zhen Guo Gongfu really needs to pray for some blessings, but unfortunately, the blessing meeting ordered by His Majesty has nothing to do with them. Is there any need to transcribe it?
"Your Majesty?" The masters had different thoughts, but the servant girl couldn't sit still.

Soon a group of concubines looked at each other.

Except for Concubine Mei who wholeheartedly prayed for the safe return of her son, the other concubines thought that Emperor Changxing would appear here, and all their thoughts were spent on their faces and clothes, and almost no one prepared pens and paper.

Moreover, the palaces are quite a distance away from Yinghua Hall, so Master Hongguang didn't intend to stop and wait for them.It is probably too late to go back to get the pen and paper now.

"Pray for blessings, since the heart is sincere and the spirit is the spirit. Sisters, just memorize all the scriptures of the master in their hearts."

"After the big deal is over, the younger sisters will ask sister Qing for a copy."

"Too……"

The blessing ceremony was carried out in such a strange atmosphere.

"Amitabha Buddha, there is a pavilion of seven treasures, comfort is the ground, blessing and wisdom are the foundation, compassion and wisdom are the beams, emptiness is the tile, convenience is the door, the six perfections are the ladder, and Bodhi is the top. Let her..."

The old monk who was eloquent in the Dharma circle quickly noticed the movement below.

Unconsciously, his word order also slowed down, and he didn't know whether he wanted the concubines to better understand the scriptures or to make it easier for Qing's maids to copy his own words.

As a result, the prayer for blessings that was originally planned to end at the end of the day was delayed for another half an hour, and some concubines stared straight at the hunger.

The blessing meeting finally came to an end, and the group returned to Qingyun Palace.

Bang bang bang.

Soon the palace door was knocked again.

Believe it or not, willing or unwilling, many concubines, including the queen, sent maids to copy the scriptures.

Concubine Qing is also generous, as long as someone comes to copy it, she will not refuse at all.

This ordeal lasted for half a night before Qingyun Palace gradually restored its former tranquility.

As the midnight approached, Imperial Concubine Qing did not rest.

She dispersed some maidservants before she spoke, "Lan Xin, get the dictionary!"

"Your Majesty," the female officer was a little puzzled by Monk Zhang Er, "Is it the pinyin dictionary compiled by the old grand master? I wonder what edition you want?"

Noble Concubine Qing nodded, and silently read the copied scriptures for a while, "The first edition."

Soon the first edition of the dictionary was delivered to Concubine Qing.

"Seven six nine, four hearts..." She murmured, flipping through the dictionary while looking at the scriptures of the old monk, and slowly one word appeared on the paper, gradually turning into a sentence.

The next day, early morning.

Inside and outside the Golden Palace, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together.

After dealing with ordinary political affairs, Chang Lu stepped forward.

He habitually raised his voice: "If there is something to play, then there is nothing to retreat."

There was silence below.

Emperor Changxing saw it, and was about to get up and leave.

"Your Majesty," the white-haired Minister of Rites, Fan Wen, came out, "The old minister has something to play."

Emperor Changxing felt dizzy for a while, but he still had to hold his temper and say: "Aiqing, as Minister of Rites, doesn't know what is important for the Ministry of Rites?"

When he said the word Ministry of Rites, he gritted his teeth and raised his voice.

"Your Majesty," Fan Wen pretended not to hear, "The Ministry of Rites has confirmed that there is something important to report."

"Let's talk." Emperor Changxing heaved a sigh of relief.

Now that the establishment of the crown prince is suspended, the most important thing for the Ministry of Rites is to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet or deal with the troublesome matters of those princes who have entered the capital.

It is not worth mentioning to the aloof emperor.

"The Master said: If the way is based on government, if it is equal to punishment, the people will be exempted from shame;

"Veterans believe that a good moral code can not only restrain the common people, but also restrain and motivate the soldiers everywhere."

cough cough.

Emperor Changxing couldn't help coughing.

However, Fan Wen continued to speak as if he had never heard of it.

"This year is the 32nd year of Changxing. According to the etiquette and law of this dynasty, it is the year when Yanzhen Fortress sends spirits back to their hometowns."

"But during the Qingming period, the war in the west was stalemate, and the etiquette still had to be postponed for four years."

"Now that the war in the west is basically over, the battle report of the Yanzhen Fortress has been sent back to Xingji City. The soldiers and people in the West Frontier have sacrificed their lives for the country's border guards. It can be said that they are loyal and righteous."

"However, the battle report said that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed rescue."

He turned his head to look at the Minister of the Household Department, "After so many days, I don't know if the Minister of Finance has finished raising the personnel and materials to support the west?"

Before Qian Liang could speak, Fan Wen turned his head to look at the Minister of the Ministry of War with a dark face on the other side.

"Guan Shangshu, the Ministry of War has a motto that military discipline is like iron, and national laws are like heaven. Orders and prohibitions must be strictly enforced."

"In this battle, the two sides invested more than 40 troops. It can be described as a battle that will determine the life and death of the west. General Huo Linghuo's battle report has proved that the Yanhui Legion has neglected its duties and supported its soldiers. disadvantage."

"Fortunately, all the soldiers sacrificed their lives to serve the country. Although the number was far inferior to the opponent, they still defeated the Xiliang people and drove them back to the grassland. Even so, they paid a terrible price. More than half of the Yanzhen Fortress and the Yingling Army were killed and injured, and the Dingxi Guards were even worse. It was almost wiped out."

"Now this matter has caused an uproar in the empire, and everyone knows it. The Yanhui Legion and its general Tian Hongyan are even accused by thousands of people."

"Your Majesty," Fan Wen turned around and saluted.

He turned to Emperor Changxing who had a gloomy face after watching the dragon case.

"The old officials went to the court or went to the streets a few days ago. Whenever they met the people, no matter they were familiar or unfamiliar, they would ask the old officials how the court would deal with Tian Hongyan. In their words, they all gritted their teeth and spit fire from their eyes, as if they wanted to eat their flesh and suck their marrow. .”

"Therefore, the old minister respectfully asks His Majesty to support the west as soon as possible, and at the same time recall the general of the Yanhui Legion, and give an explanation to the soldiers who died in the west and the people of the world after the tribunal of the three divisions!"

wow.

Suddenly, a crowd of courtiers knelt down outside the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty, please support Dingxi County as soon as possible, and recall the general of the Yanhui Army to stand trial."
