Chapter 104 The Crown Prince visits Iron Buddha Temple in person

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 In Jingzhou Iron Buddha Temple, Chen Chang, the prince of Nanchen, whose name is only one character different from Chen Chang, is wearing a white soap robe, shaking his tail, walking slowly and gracefully.

He was naturally handsome, and the fan in his hand rose up to the shape of the sky and reached down to the ground. It was a graceful, silky, and wispy piece. It was so skillfully crafted that it calmed the dust and summer heat, and added a bit of elegance to him.
The tail is a "fan" in the hands of literati during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The habit of literati holding the tail lasted until the Southern Tang and Five Dynasties.

Don't look at this little crotch, it can not only bring a breeze, but also sweep away the tackiness on the body. It is simply the "treasure in the palm" of the literati at that time.

The deer is the leader of the group of deer. By wagging its tail, the deer commands the "team" and has a leadership style. Therefore, celebrities are proud to hold the tail of the deer. Since the tail is a symbol of status, it must be held by oneself and cannot be handed over to others.

The waiter next to me.

In front of the mountain gate is the mountain gate. Inside the mountain gate stands a large stone tablet nearly one foot high. On the front is a huge "Buddha" character, and on the back is an eloquent "Inscription of the Iron Buddha Temple".

Two iron Buddhas are placed in the Mahavira Hall, as if they are sitting or standing.

The abbot of this temple is named Xuyun. When he heard that a distinguished guest was coming, he hurriedly rang the bells and drums, gathered all the people, and greeted him outside the mountain gate. At the same time, he led the traveling boys to clean the abbot and tidy up the kitchen; at the same time, he put on his cassock and held the incense in his hand to lead the stage.

The monks of the temple came out of the temple to greet him.

Hou Andu was half a step behind Chen Chang on the left, and closely beside him on the right was a young scholar with bright eyes and white teeth.

This person looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He is wearing a soap green silk scarf, a long-sleeved azure brocade robe and a leather belt.

Generally speaking, a pair of dotted eyes, looking and looking, are extremely smart.

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties paid great attention to appearance. People should be tall, fair-skinned, and their clothes should be comfortable and elegant. Pan An, Wei Jie, Murong Chong, Shen Yue, Dugu Xin, etc. are all beautiful men everywhere, but the one in front of me

Compared with him, he is no less generous, and even compares with Chen Chang who is standing next to him. I don’t know how many girls will be charmed to death.

Looking back, Zhou Hong, Liu Ming and other generals and military leaders were lined up one after another. Zhou Hong looked around warily, while Liu Ming looked intently.

Xiao Jin sent to accompany him the Minister of Zuo Min and the Minister of Taichang, Cai Daye.

Hou Andu followed Chen Chang into the main hall and said: "Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor of Liang personally gave a banquet last night, which shows that he attaches great importance to His Highness. During the dinner, he also mentioned that he wanted to have good relations with our court, and the guard

Duke Guo and Quan Jingxuan did not express any objection, which is enough to show that the Northern Zhou Dynasty also had the same attitude towards our dynasty."

The beautiful boy beside Chen Chang pricked up his ears and listened.

Chen Chang's face still had a gloomy expression, and he said in a calm tone: "Master Hou, Xiao Jin is certainly polite, but it's not for me. He only cares about Yu Wenzhi's face. In his eyes, I am a wanderer.

Do people from other countries need to care about my face?"

It was sunny and warm today, but there was always a layer of gloom in Chen Chang's heart. Hou An seemed to be respectful to him and always by his side, but he looked particularly troubled and could not drive away Hou An.

Du, and there really was nothing to talk about, so Hou Andu started the conversation first.

The sound of sutras echoed in the Iron Buddha Temple, and everything was solemn, but Chen Chang felt even more melancholy.

I didn’t drink much last night, but I felt drunk soon after. When I returned to the inn, I lay down and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Chen Chang, who was sleeping in a hazy state, was suddenly opened his eyes by the shouts from outside. The guards brought the man in. He shook the brocade quilt covering his body, sat up straight and asked.

: "What's the matter? You're yelling!"

The person who entered the room was none other than Zhou Hong. He saluted and said, "Your Highness, Duke Wei has sent someone here!"

Chen Chang showed a rare smile and said: "During the banquet last night, I didn't say a few words to him. I guessed that he was going to find me today, and it turned out to be true."

"..."

"Call that man in!"

"No!"

A short, fat civil servant who looked like a rice dumpling walked nervously to the eaves outside, lightly stamped his feet, wiped the sweat from his face, and stammered: "Little man...little man...Qiu Qiu Qiu...

…”

Chen Chang, who was full of melancholy, was amused by him and said, "Don't make it difficult, Mr. Qiu - come in."

Lord Qiu's name was Qiu Renzhi, and he was an official of Wei Guo Gong Yu Wenzhi. Chen Chang was also familiar with it. With permission, Qiu Renzhi rolled in like a ball, saluted on the spot, and said: "I'm... I'm... Qiu...

...Renzhi is here to meet His Highness...to pay tribute!"

Qiu Renzhi had also met Chen Chang many times, but now he was still sweating. It took him a long time to figure out that Duke Wei was going to invite Chen Chang to visit the Iron Buddha Temple with him today.

Chen Chang never understood why someone as smart and capable as Yu Wenzhi would use such a piece of material to make Qiu Renzhi funny. He couldn't help but feel angry and funny: "Forget it. If you keep stammering like this, you'll be fine. You'll be tired of listening when you're alone."

Damn it. Mr. Qiu, do you usually talk to your father-in-law like this? I remember that his temper was very irritable...

Qiu Renzhi replied respectfully: "I...I am...the Duke...the Duke has never blamed...blamed me...he...he sometimes...shouted...at me...yell, I..."

Then I won’t stutter anymore..."

Chen Chang looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Okay, interesting, but I can't yell at you. The matter has been explained clearly. Go back and report to your father-in-law, and I will tell you that I will go to the appointment!"

When Qiu Renzhi said goodbye and left, he stammered for a long time. Chen Chang couldn't hold back a sip of tea and sprayed it on his sleeve. But he soon understood that he was surrounded by Hou Andu's eyes and ears, and it was really not appropriate to be happy at this time.

Angry in color.

He gradually changed his expression, stood up and said coldly to Zhou Hong: "Xiaowei Zhou, go and tell Mr. Hou immediately that I will go to the Iron Buddha Temple with Duke Wei today, and the trip will be postponed for one day."

After that, he got up and ordered his guards to greet the carriages and horses.

Zhou Hong always obeyed orders and went to report to Hou Andu.

Hou Andu called Liu Ming over and told him to pack his luggage quickly and leave the city as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Chen Chang came so suddenly, he couldn't help but angrily came to Chen Chang and argued with him, but Chen Chang still insisted on staying one more day.

Hou Andu had no choice but to accompany him.

After everything was arranged, Zhou Hong said to Chen Chang: "Your Highness, how did you arrange the girl yesterday?"

Chen Chang asked: "How is she doing?"

Zhou Hongdao: "He's tough! The injury on his arm is fine!"

Chen Chang didn't speak. He pursed his lips and looked at the sky outside. He saw white clouds, like balls of cotton wool, which were blown by the wind and changed in size and shape from time to time, giving him the feeling that something was a human being.

A sense of wrongness.

While he was pondering, he saw the rescued girl Ning walking in from the outside. When Chen Chang saw her, he said: "Is it okay?"

Ning Jingrong wears a double-breasted wide shirt with a belted waist, with different-colored fringes on the cuffs, placket, and hem. She wears a striped mid-color skirt, tied around her waist with a silk belt, and wears five-color cloud shoes.<

/p>

After one night, she felt much more energetic. When she saw Chen Chang, she bowed gracefully, and then replied: "Thank you so much for saving my life. I rested all night, and my body and bones are much better!"

Seeing that Chen Chang's escort had prepared carriages and horses, he asked hurriedly: "My benefactor is going out? Where are you going? Are you going to leave me here..." By the end, he was sobbing.

Chen Chang looked gloomy, smiled bitterly, and said: "No, no! We are going to Tiefo Temple today, and we are not traveling far. Anyway, I see that you are also a person with bad luck. If your body can hold on, you might as well

Come with us, I heard that the two iron Buddhas in the temple are very efficacious."

Ning Jingrong raised her head and looked at Chen Chang with sparkling tears. Only then did Chen Chang realize that although she was not wearing any makeup, she was even more beautiful than yesterday: her hair was like clouds, her hair was like a moth, her eyes were lined with tired eyes,

The bottomless black pupils are a bit charming, the face that can be easily broken is flushed with a pink blush, a kind of delicate fragrance comes out from the bone marrow, and the whole body is full of agility and maturity that are not commensurate with his age.

.

"Thank you so much! I will definitely bless my benefactor in front of the Buddha for a long life and long life!"

Chen Changtian smiled calmly, walked down the steps slowly, and said without looking back: "That's just a thought. Emperor Gaozu of the Liang Dynasty devoted himself to Buddha, but in the end he was not good and did not have a good death. And my father

The emperor has a very benevolent nature, and since he lives in Aheng, he always advocates generosity and simplicity. He is elegant and frugal, and his daily meals are limited to a few items."

"Private feasts and banquets are all made of earthenware and clam dishes, and the dishes are simple and shameless. The decrees are sufficient and are not wasted. In the early days of Pinghou Jing and the emperor Jingjing, his children were all soldiers, and those who served as palaces did not wear colorful clothes.

There is no gold and jade decoration, and the vocal music is not as good as before. After practicing, I am very strict, courteous and frugal, but it is still the same as the sky, and it will collapse in seventy-six years, and the fate is impermanent..."

As he spoke, his thoughts were touched, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears. He hurried out of the post house, got on his horse, urged the horse and whipped it: "Let's go!"

Hou Andu and others hurriedly caught up with them, and the team of dozens of people meandered eastward along the street.

A primary school teacher who was responsible for taking care of Ning Jingrong watched Chen Chang and others go away. When he looked back, he realized that Ning Jingrong was still waiting for him here. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Ning, we're leaving now."

The Buddhist temple is not far away, so you might as well change into men's clothes, it will be more convenient on the road."

"Okay, but how do you find suitable men's clothing at this time?"

"His Royal Highness has already given instructions that the girl can choose a few pieces of clothing from her."

After Ning Jingrong chased him to Tiefo Temple, he heard from the guards that the people sent by Duke Yu Wenzhi of the State of Wei had just left, saying that he was afraid that he would miss his appointment today, so he took care of his official business and held a banquet to apologize to Chen Chang in the evening.
When they saw Chen Chang, Chen Changzheng and Hou Andu said: "There is a reason why Duke Wei went out to town in Puzhou and was busy with official business. Since he came today, he wanted to visit the temple. After going down the river, I'm afraid

We don’t have this kind of leisure anymore!”

After saying that, when he saw Ning Jingrong wearing men's clothing, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Hou Andu seemed to have disappeared, and he was very unhappy. Yu Wen just let go of Chen Chang's dove. Is the reason because he is really busy with official duties, or is there another secret?

Wutouyi was assassinated, which forced him to think more deeply. Are those assassins still plotting against Chen Chang?

While Chen Chang was staring at Ning Jingrong intently, Hou Andu called Liu Ming to his side and whispered...
