Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Dufo Temple is far away in the north of Kyoto, backed by a big mountain, named Heshan. During the previous dynasty, monks from overseas traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto. First, they came to visit the emperor, and second, they came to preach Buddhism. The monks took advantage of the situation to promote Buddhism, which was very popular for a while.

Guihe Mountain is divided into three levels from bottom to top. This temple is built at the lowest point, and it is divided into three levels. After the monks of the temple passed away, they specially drew the boundary as a warning. It should be a taboo place in Guiheshan, and the monks of later generations would dare not to follow.

It was already midnight when Chu Shou received the news from Xuanji, His Majesty was already awake, and he dared to release the news after two days of recuperation, calling Chu Shou to Fodu Temple to have an audience early the next morning.

As soon as you enter the mountain, you will be greeted by cold air, and the torrent from a column on the mountain will rush down the steep mountain, like a silver sword piercing the sky, splitting a sharp sword mark.

The stream beats against the rocks, making a sound of rinsing and rinsing, which is pleasant to the ears, like the beating of drums from upstairs during a battle, being drawn into the hollow valley, or like the overwhelming roar of soldiers defending against the enemy on the battlefield, piercing through Changhong.

Close to the path, it is as soft as a glazed ribbon, hidden among the mountains, quiet and deep, all kinds of aquatic plants in it are rippling under the blue waves, swaying, and the water surface is as clear as a mirror. The short clear plants and clean leaves reflect picturesquely and give off natural color.

The reddish red maple in the distance is smudged with autumn colors, but it is still green and green nearby. The red leaves can't burn out the tiredness of summer. When the wind blows and the clouds are thin, sometimes frightened birds fly straight up into the clouds. Lu, hanging far away on the side of the mountain, swept away the chill of last night for everyone in the forest.

Chu Shou leaned against the wall of the carriage, the mountain road was difficult to walk, but she couldn't shake the sleepy bug in her head, Ah Shui carefully put a silk handkerchief on her.

She has not been idle for the past few days. Su Tiying's wedding is approaching, and there is not much time left for her. If she can't find a way to treat the Ruojing, Su Tiying will go to the miserable place The fourth prince.

There is one thing that the old ancestors didn't say, Ruojing is moody, unpredictable, speechless, and behaves strangely. Living under the same roof with Su Tiying these days, she feels deeply.

Chu Shou read many scriptures handed down by his ancestors, and tried many ways to drive away the evil spirits, but none of them worked.

I wanted to bring her here today, to burn incense and pray to the Buddha or something, but then I was afraid that her soul would be hit by the big Buddha, and it would be more difficult to cure, so I asked her to accompany the old general to walk his dog. She usually finds this inconvenient and that inconvenient, but she has a soft spot for Jin Hu.

"Miss, here we are."

Sanqian gently lifted the curtain of the car, and said in a low voice, they went directly to the second step on the mountain road, if they went up from the first step, they would have to climb many steep stone stairs!
Only then did Chu Shou open his eyes, and poked his head out along the car window. There was an evergreen pine forest on the left and right, and a courtyard was shaded by emerald green bamboo and cypresses. There was no door, and there was only an arc-shaped stone arch carved with Pisces and lotus flowers on it. .

Originally, there were not many pilgrims here, but now that His Majesty has woken up, there are quite a few people coming in and out, all adults in official uniforms:

"Thank God, His Majesty finally woke up. Now that old concubine of the Su family has no excuse to ask the Queen Mother to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation."

"Hmph, I think she is also bluffing. There are five more days in the past twenty days. Your Majesty is awake, and you haven't even seen the Queen Mother's heel yet."

"Yeah yeah."

"Hey, there are two popular people around His Majesty, one is Mr. Xiao Song from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the other is about to belong to Mr. Li Shenli. Why are we here to join in the fun?"

"If you want to say that Li Shen didn't know what kind of shit luck he had, the originally unknown person seemed to have been instructed by an expert, and he caught all the meritorious service in front of the Holy One. The official luck is prosperous. !"

"Yeah, didn't you just listen? They found out about the Lu family's smuggling of jade from northern Xinjiang. Once the job is done, I'm afraid I'll be promoted again!"

"Hmph, Mr. Wang's words are wrong. Lu Shaoqun, the eldest son of the Lu family, is the most resourceful, but he has passed things to those few. If you want to investigate, it is not as simple as a Lu family."

"Well, the Lu family has paid a lot of tribute to the imperial court all year round. I'm afraid that the smuggling of jade will not cause much trouble. But Mr. Li is afraid that he will offend many people. Let's just watch quietly and don't get caught up in the fire. , Both jade and stone will be burnt."

"Yes, it is wisest to be alone."

After Chu Shou heard this, he lowered the curtain again, but Sanqian poked his head in, with a smile in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Li Shen to be so restless, so he immediately rushed to ask for credit."

Chu Shou sneered, and turned his eyes slightly: "He has tasted the sweetness for the first time, and naturally he will not let it go the second time."

Sanqian smiled and nodded, and stretched out his hand to help Chu Shou get out of the car. Just as she got out of the car, several adults on the way down the mountain paused to pay their respects.

It so happened that after Li Shenyu finished his report to His Majesty, he ran into Chu Shou as soon as he went out.

He stood with his hands behind his back, raised his chin and bowed casually, and just now he was praised by His Majesty. Just when he was overjoyed, his lips moved slightly, and four words floated out gently: "I have seen the Princess."

Behind him, Zheng Yuan bowed respectfully, and was even glanced at by Li Shen.

Chu Shou stopped, with a smile on his lips, and tilted his head slightly to stare at him to accept the gift calmly. After the ceremony, he said in a deep voice: "I heard that Mr. Li has found out about the Lu family's smuggling case again, so we have to collect all the evidence. The Lu family is the richest businessman in Kyoto, and he is not short of money by nature."

"All the relevant evidence has been handed over to His Majesty, so I don't need to bother the princess to worry about it. The mountain will be full of red leaves. The princess might as well care more about the flowers and plants in the mansion."

After finishing speaking, Li Shen left without looking back, behind him Zheng Yuan bowed respectfully with a smile on his lips.

Chu Shou nodded lightly, turned around and watched the backs of the two of them disappear from sight, his eyes were dark but full of meaning.

Entering the inner room, although the interior is simple and simple, it has everything, and the smoke is lingering, but it can't hide the fragrance of medicine.

His Majesty was behind a thick screen, vaguely seen in a sitting posture, and the internal officer Jin Xiao said with a choked voice: "Princess Ruchuan is here."

Before Chu Shou could worship, an impatient voice came from behind the screen: "I know, I know, I have bad legs and feet, and I'm not blind. Is there any girl in the whole capital who only likes to wear green clothes all day long?" clothes."

Chu Shou looked down at his clothes, neat and beautiful, frowned and said coldly: "Rukawa has seen His Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

The emperor smiled loudly and waved: "Come, come, give me a seat."

Jin Xiao unfolded his wrinkled face again, and hurried forward to set up a seat.

After Chu Shou walked into the screen, he saw His Majesty sitting stiffly, with a splint on his forearm, but some bruises had scabbed and deswelled. Fortunately, His Majesty's love for the imperial concubine did not overflow. It's not too tall, and it still looks majestic after not being raised for a long time.

"Since your majesty has recovered a little, why don't you go back to the palace?" Chu Shou asked seriously. Originally, she asked Zhao Wou-ki to quietly bring his majesty to the Fodu Temple to catch the assassin. If the assassin caught him, he should quietly send him back to the palace Go, let those ministers know it's her fault...

"Go back to the palace? I dare not go back to the palace without the princess's order!" The emperor had a stern face.

Chu Shou was so guilty of being told that, he paused for a while before saying, "Isn't this for catching assassins?"

"I heard that the Imperial Concubine's Qianqiu Banquet was in chaos and the Temple of Enshrinement was burnt down. It's all from your handwriting, right?" the emperor continued to ask with his eyes wide open.

Chu Shou faltered and said: "I admit to Fengshen Temple, I did not organize the Qianqiu Banquet..."

As she said that, she raised her eyes firmly again, and said: "My little aunt is going to persuade the imperial army to hold the family members of hundreds of officials to the top. If I don't stop it, is it possible... really want to give the country to my Wu clan..."

The emperor stopped and raised his hand to look around for something to smash, but in the end he had nothing to hand, so he could only stare angrily, pointing at Chu Shou, "How dare you say that!"

Chu Shou muttered back again: "What I said is the truth..."

Unexpectedly, the emperor sighed helplessly, shook his head, rubbed his heart, and cried with tears in his eyes, "Oh, it's my mistake, it's my fault for waking up too late... let's go."

"Your Majesty, don't be too sad. I know we may not be the right person, so just tell me who pushed you off the flying tower?" Chu Shou cautiously stretched out his hand, patted through the air, and continued: "You are the Son of Heaven, some things are inconvenient to do, but I can do it, you tell me, I will avenge you!"

The emperor immediately put away his tears, raised his hand, and said seriously: "As for the matter that I fell down the flying building, I accidentally fell down. I have already notified the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to stop the investigation, Rukawa. , you too, no need to mention it again."

"How is it possible? Eunuch Jin Xiao saw it with his own eyes. Someone pushed you..."

"Hey, Princess, the old servant is dim-sighted now, but he was also anxious at the time. It was the old servant who misunderstood, and His Majesty did fall from the building by mistake." Jin Xiao stood up, looking embarrassed, and overturned his previous testimony in an instant. .

After hearing this, Chu Shou lowered his eyes and thought, I am afraid that the person who pushed His Majesty to fall from the building with his own hands is far away in the sky and close in front of His Majesty.

It's not that she hasn't thought about that person for so many days, but she thinks that no matter how crazy she is, she will never commit such a patricide.

However, recalling the past, her behavior is not the craziest, so everything seems to make sense...

Chu Shou lowered his eyes and smiled, then put on a bright expression, and said: "Since you have said so, Your Majesty, then I have nothing to say."

After the emperor heard this, a wry smile flashed across his face, and it was fleeting. During the days when he was in a coma, many people who were ready to move jumped out and showed their wolfish ambitions. For him, it was either luck or misfortune.

Past and old grudges are hidden under the seemingly calm surface of the lake, but when there is a gust of wind, these things that have been dormant for a long time will move with the wind, jump out of the water, and show themselves naked in front of his eyes...

"Okay, just now someone came to play, saying that the copper mine was seized along the border between us and You, and the copper mine was transported from the Qingzhou border. I heard that it is closely related to the bandits."

Chu Shou nodded slightly. Recently there were indeed rumors that the bandits in Qingzhou colluded with other countries to smuggle copper mines. Qingzhou Mountains are indeed rich in copper mines, but if it was said that they colluded with You Yan, she would not believe it. It seems that there is indeed such a thing, but I have already sent a letter to them to verify."

The emperor nodded and ordered: "What about you, go to Qingzhou and check it out for me. If it is really a good thing they did, then I will no longer show mercy and send troops to suppress the bandits..."

Chu Shou nodded, and replied, "Yes."

After finishing speaking, His Majesty smiled again, and said in a low voice: "I even sent your heavenly official to investigate this matter with you, you have to seize the opportunity."

Chu Shou's old face turned green, and his thoughts were full of emotions, but he still didn't forget to adjust: "It's not a heavenly official... what kind of heavenly official?"

"Okay, okay." His Majesty also raised his hand to cover his mouth, and Chu Shou became very nervous when he talked about the Tianguan, for fear of leaking the truth.

"Aiqing? Qingzhou investigates the copper mine, then I will hand over you two young people, I am old..." The emperor shouted back, and a figure suddenly appeared behind the screen, and then the man bowed respectfully, The voice was cold and cold: "I would like to obey His Majesty's orders."

Song Yanqing and the others didn't know the shortcut, so they climbed from the first step to the second step. When they went down, His Majesty, who was enthusiastic, ordered the two to discuss the matter of going to Qingzhou to investigate the smuggling of copper mines, and Chu Shou followed him downstairs.

However, they were speechless along the way, and there were some ministers and officials presiding over the monks walking around the two of them, so the awkward two didn't say a word.

However, after going down the stone steps, there were fewer and fewer people around, and in the end it was really only the two of them walking one after the other.

Chu Shou was in front, walking unhurriedly. Occasionally, he caught a glimpse of the person behind him from the corner of his eye.

After finally arriving at the destination, there are monks teaching the Dharma and telling old stories.

Chu Shou stopped walking, stretched out his hand to block the glare in front of his eyes, looked up at the towering mountain, and said lazily, "I guess this group of monks are playing tricks. The previous dynasty was more than 150 years old, and they said that the emperor was older than that when he was alive." The monk is alive and credible."

Song Yanqing didn't answer the words, pulled his face down and handed out the steps, not even a sneer was exchanged, which made Chu Shou move forward angrily, and slowly quickened his pace.

The two continued to walk along the stone steps, and the silence was immersed in the body one after another, stepping on the moss, every step had a deep meaning.

After walking the stone steps that are not impatient, I just feel that even the hair becomes refreshed. The sun is bright but not hot. This situation is probably the blessing of the Buddha.

A not-so-small platform extends to both sides to form a corridor. The jade-white stone pillars are engraved with lotus flowers and scriptures, enclosing the temple. A stick of incense as thick as a wrist is inserted, and the smoke is so lingering that it seems to touch the floating clouds. People who come and go throw copper plates into the copper stove, and make wishes to the big incense burner with their eyes closed.

Get promoted and get rich, marry a wife and have children, be safe and healthy... exchanging a small copper coin for the blessing of the Buddha does not sound like a loss-making business.

"There is a switch on the left quarter of the bottom of this incense burner. After turning it on, all the copper thrown in will flow out..."

Chu Shou thought of the past, and didn't care about any awkwardness at all. He talked to himself, and the corners of his mouth could not help but bend a few degrees.
