marquis of jingan

Chapter 165
If there is no special reason for a big temple like Jiming Temple, it is generally not easy to close the temple.

In Shen Yi's heart, he naturally knew the reason why Jiming Temple was closed.

Most likely the big boss came.

He glanced at the little novice, then nodded silently and smiled: "Okay, I'll go out now."

At this time, there were about two or three hundred pilgrims in the Jiming Temple, and they were all invited out of the Jiming Temple. After they left the Jiming Temple, they went down the mountain road. They had just finished cleaning up when a group of plainclothes men stopped them. After entering the mountain road, no one is allowed to enter. At the same time, many people are patrolling the Jiming Temple to see if there are any suspicious people left behind.

Although there were outsiders among the pilgrims in Jiming Temple, most of them were locals from Jiankang in this era of inconvenient transportation. After seeing this battle, many people started talking at the foot of the mountain.

"The nobleman who can close Jiming Temple..."

A middle-aged scholar stroked the beard on his chin, looked at Shandao, and shook his head: "Could it be that the Empress Dowager came to Jiming Temple to invite incense?"

When the Empress Dowager Chaosun believed in Buddhism, it was well known in Jiankang. From time to time, monks would enter the inner courtyard of the palace to preach the Dharma to the Empress Dowager.

As the most famous temple in Jiankang, the Jiming Temple, the Empress Dowager naturally did not miss it.

"Stop talking about it."

An old man next to the middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The guards on the mountain road are all plainclothes. Obviously, the nobles don't want to reveal their identities. Let's leave."

Shen Yi was in the crowd, and heard a lot of "gossip" from the people of Jiankang. After all the onlookers dispersed, Shen Yi boldly walked towards the two men guarding the mountain road.

Before he got close to the mountain road, the two men had already held down the handle of the knife at their waist, and looked at Shen Yi coldly: "What are you doing?"

Shen Yi quickly took out the purple card from his sleeve and placed it in front of the two men.

"Brothers, this is the sign that Eunuch Gao gave me, can you take a look?"

Shen Yi is also a little guilty at the moment.

Because he knew the system of the inner court, the great eunuch Gao Ming could not restrain the inner guards, that is to say, the inner guards guarding the gate would not necessarily give Gao Ming face.

But things went surprisingly well.

After Shen Yi showed the sign, the two men took it and looked at it, then handed the sign back to Shen Yi, and turned sideways to make way.

"Go up."

Shen Yi took the purple wooden sign and put it in his hand, and then walked up the mountain road. He looked at the sign carved from red sandalwood while walking, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

This brand is so easy to use... Is it the high eunuch's, or... the little emperor's?
With this question in mind, Shen Yi went all the way to the gate of Jiming Temple. At this moment, the gate of Jiming Temple was already guarded by inner guards. With this purple card, Shen Yi entered Jiming Temple unimpeded all the way. After arriving in Jiming Temple , a little eunuch came towards him. After he glanced at Shen Yi, he asked, "Is this Mr. Shen Yi?"

Shen Yi nodded.

The little eunuch bowed his head to return the salute to Shen Yi, and then said with a smile: "My lord, please follow me."

Then Shen Yi followed the little eunuch all the way to a quiet room in Jiming Temple. After the little eunuch led Shen Yi in, he looked back at Shen Yi and said, "Mr. If you are summoned, someone will call you."

Hearing the word Jianjia, Shen Yi's guess was finally confirmed.

He nodded to the little eunuch, and said, "Understood."

The little eunuch turned and left, leaving Shen Yi in the quiet room.

At the same time, on the mountain road of Jiming Temple, a purple sedan chair was carried by eight people, climbing up slowly and steadily step by step.

The eight people who carried the sedan chairs were not weak in strength. Although they were carrying the sedan chairs and walking on the mountain road, they were not strenuous, on the contrary, they seemed to be walking on flat ground.

After a while, the sedan chair stopped at the gate of Jiming Temple, and a young man in plain clothes got out of the sedan chair. After getting off the sedan chair, the young man looked around and couldn't help frowning: "Gao Ming, are we not doing this this time?" Did you come in plain clothes, why did you get rid of him again?"

Eunuch Gao stood by the side of the young man and accompanied him. Hearing the words, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many people in Jiming Temple, fish and dragons are mixed together. It is inevitable that there will be people with evil intentions. The slave servant sent someone to discuss with Abbot Wuming of Jiming Temple. , Abbot Wuming also felt that there should be no one in the temple.”

While the master and servant were talking, a group of big monks from Jiming Temple had come out to greet them, and knelt down in front of the little emperor.

Originally, these people should be picked up at the foot of the mountain road, but the little emperor insisted on coming in "plain clothes" to conceal their identities, so these monks should not be too public, and could only be picked up at the gate of Jiming Temple.

The little emperor glanced at Gao Ming, then walked towards the big monks with his hands behind his back, raised his hand lightly and said, "Get up."

Although he is young, he has been the emperor for six years, and it is common for others to bow down to him.

A group of big monks just stood up, followed the little emperor cautiously, and entered the Jiming Temple.

Abbot Wu Ming and Gao Ming stood on the left and right sides of the little emperor.

The little emperor put his hands behind his back and said as he walked: "Master Wuming, my mother has been ill for three or four days, and she hasn't recovered until today. She is an old man who believes in Buddhism, and she wholeheartedly prays for the blessing of the Buddha. Temple, I want to ask the Buddha to give her a peace talisman to protect her health."

In fact, Queen Mother Sun is less than 35 years old this year.

But after all, she is a mother, and the little emperor is still an old man.

Abbot Wuming is over 60 years old this year, and his hair is gray. He bowed his head respectfully in front of the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. If the Son of Heaven comes to ask for amulets, the Buddha must have a response. If you recite His Majesty's filial piety, he will definitely protect the Queen Mother." .”

"Ah."

The little emperor nodded and sighed: "Then trouble the abbot to lead the way, I will go to pay homage to the Samana saint."

Although the little emperor did not believe in Buddhism, he was influenced by his mother since he was a child, so he knew a little about Buddhism.

It's just that, as the son of heaven, he has only paid homage to Confucian saints since he ascended the throne, and this is the first time he has come to worship a Buddhist saint.

Now for the sake of his mother, His Majesty the Emperor has to try it.

Under the leadership of the abbot, the little emperor went all the way to the Daxiong Hall of Jiming Temple. After offering incense to the tall golden statue, Monk Wuming put on a show and brought a few big monks to burn incense on a peace talisman, respectfully. Respectfully handed it to the little emperor.

At this moment, Gao Ming had already prepared a wooden box, and the little emperor put Ping Anfu in the wooden box, and glanced at the eunuch Gao: "Gao Ming, the matter at Jiming Temple is over, it's still early, I want to go to the city walk around."

Hearing this, Eunuch Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

After all, the little emperor is still young, he is not determined, and he is used to wandering around.

However, Jiankang City is a large city with a population of one million, and there are a lot of fish and dragons. In the case of casual clothes, security is really too difficult.

So Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find time to meet that Shen Yi?"

The little emperor looked at Gao Ming, a little surprised: "Why, what do you mean, you want me to go to this Shen Yi's house to look for him?"

Gao Ming quickly shook his head: "I don't dare, it's just..."

"This Shen Yi is now in the Jiming Temple. Your Majesty wants to see him, so I will send someone to look for him immediately."

The little emperor glanced at Gao Ming, then snorted.

"It seems that the big companion has already arranged it."

"The slaves dare not."

Gao Ming directly knelt down on the ground, and said, "It's just that your majesty told this servant a few days ago that he insisted on meeting this Shen Yi, and this servant felt that today was just a chance, so he invited Shen Yi to Jiming Temple. If your majesty If you don't have this interest anymore, the servant will let him go back."

"That's it."

The little emperor randomly found a chair and sat down, yawned: "He's here, just let him come to see me."
