Thirty miles outside the east gate of Yuzhou City, there is Mount Yu, and at the foot of Mount Yu there is Longfu Temple. The incense is very popular, and there is an endless stream of people who come to offer incense every day, some making wishes and some fulfilling their wishes. The reason why Longfu Temple is

The reason why the incense is so strong is said to be because the gods enshrined in the temple are extremely effective and respond to all requests, so many people come from far away to make wishes. The scenery of Yushan Mountain behind the temple is beautiful, and some dignitaries have to stay at Longfu Temple after making their wishes.

In a few days, I will go to Yushan Mountain to enjoy the scenery. If I have good intentions, I will write a few crooked poems to express my elegance.

Of course, people's wishes are also varied, some are for children, some are for official positions, some are for wealth, some are for being able to pass the exam to become a scholar, to be promoted, some are for marrying a good husband, and some are for blessings from the gods.

The elderly at home will get well soon... People have many wishes, but they can kneel down in front of the Buddha statue, and they are all very pious. Not to mention, some girls asked to marry a good husband, and they soon got their wish.

Sure enough, she married the real master of the Southwest Road, King Yin Quan of Pingxi.

Of course, the prerequisite is that these girls who marry Yin Quan are all extremely beautiful. If they are ugly, Yin Quan will definitely not want them. King Pingxi Yin Quan never said taking concubines, he said taking concubines. As for those beautiful girls who married Yin Quan,

Yin Quan doesn't care whether he is placed in Hengxiang Garden, Lanwu Garden, Qiuyun Pavilion or Qunfang Courtyard. He has female officials under him to take care of these affairs. All he has to do is enjoy these women. As for the folk

Yin Quan pretended not to hear the scolding. He only cared about himself, so how could he care about the lives of those lower-class people?

Someone once laughed at Yin Quan secretly, saying that King Pingxi regarded Longfu Temple as a place to choose his concubines. However, the person who said this obviously did not understand Yin Quan, because only a small number of girls were selected by Yin Quan at Longfu Temple.

The official in charge of the beauty pageant under Quan found out, and most of these girls were "invited" to Pingxi Prince's Mansion in secret. No one would ever mention Longfu Temple in front of the girl's family, otherwise no one would dare to come.

Burning incense at Longfu Temple?

The abbot of Longfu Temple is called Monk Zhitong, who is also a famous figure. This intelligent monk’s lay name is Yin. Yes, it is Yin from Yin Quan and Yin from Yin Guang. He has been working at Longfu Temple for thirty-five years.

Abbot.

However, few people know that Monk Zhitong once had a surname of Yin. At least the monks at Longfu Temple do not know this. As for how Monk Zhitong became the abbot of Longfu Temple, he has always kept it secret. In view of the fact that he faces his disciples every day.

With a cold face, no one dared to ask. It's not that no one dared to ask. There was once a young monk who asked, but he was kicked out of the temple with the excuse of having lice on his head.

In fact, Zhitong was able to become the abbot of Longfu Temple because of Yin Quan's father, the former Pingxi King Yin Che. Yin Che was originally driven out of the capital by the late emperor Yin Ren on the pretext of returning to the country and committing a crime, and rushed to the Southwest Road. Later Yin Ren

In addition, because of Yin Che's contribution in pacifying the Sudden Rebellion, he was renamed from Prince Jing to Prince Pingxi. The fiefdom was located on the Southwest Road. The Southwest Road was still a barbaric land at that time, far from the prosperous scene it is today. The barbarians often made troubles. Yin Che

He was sent to Southwest Road to clean up the mess here. In fact, even a pig can see that this is a naked relegation.

But what can Yin Che do? In the original battle for the crown prince, he and his third brother Yin Hai both lost to his eldest brother Yin Ren. In fact, Yin Hai was not considered a loser, because Yin Hai did not have the ambition to be the emperor, and only Yin Che always

He is coveting the throne. But in Yin Che's heart, he firmly believes that Yin Hai also wants to compete for the throne, but in a more subtle way. Yin Che thinks, who doesn't want to be the king of a country with more than ten million people?

But unfortunately, Yin Ren's status as the eldest son naturally has the legitimacy to be the heir to the throne, which is justifiable. Although his father prefers Yin Che, and he also expressed in the court that he wanted Yin Che to succeed him as the crown prince.

, but the ministers in the court opposed it, especially Hong Rencheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs at that time. He was very excited and lectured in the court on the benefits of the eldest son inheritance system, spitting on the emperor's face. The old emperor Yin Chengan also

There is no choice but to obey the opinions of the ministers.

Although Yin Chengan had expressed to Yin Che many times in private that he wanted him to be the crown prince, he could not compete with these ministers every time in court. Yin Che felt very hurt. He felt that the throne should be his, and it was his elder brother who took it away.

He succeeded him to the throne. Later, Yin Ren, who was favored by everyone, became the prince instead of Yin Che, who was favored by Yin Chengan. Later, Yin Ren succeeded to the throne naturally and became the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom.

Yin Che, who has always been favored by his father, has never thought of fighting with Yin Ren, but Yin Ren's methods are more clever, and more than half of the veterans clearly support Yin Ren as the prince and emperor. What can he do better?

The solution? Yin Che could only endure it. Especially after he was demoted to the Southwest Road and became the Prince of Pingxi, he became even more desperate. In addition to doing well in the political affairs of the Southwest Road, Yin Che spent most of his time on hunting and cockfighting.

Things like lackeys and women.

Even so, some people went to Yong'an, the capital, to complain. The reason was that Prince Yin Che of Pingxi had too many women and bullied men and women in Southwest Road, causing public resentment. In fact, Yin Che only had 20 or 30 women in total.

That's all, he just couldn't help but touch the daughter of a noble family named Hu in Jiannan Dao. The Hu family got into trouble, and he was criticized for it. As for promiscuity with women.

In terms of people, Yin Che is far inferior to Yin Quan, not even one-twentieth of his son.

But the great gentry were great gentry, and they had a certain amount of power in both the government and the opposition, and their spittle could drown someone. Especially since Yin Che was a prince who was disliked by the emperor, especially when the officials handed over the papers to impeach King Pingxi.

When Yin Ren saw it, he was still touched. He finally wanted to touch his third brother Yin Che, who was not very obedient, even though he himself was not a good person in the field of women.

Just when everyone thought that Yin Che was going to be completely doomed, a person publicly stood up and said a word for Yin Che. This person's surname was Yin, his name was Yin Shili, he was a descendant of the King of Luoyang, the son of the Great Shang Emperor, and the current Jingquan

Although Hou was only a small third-class prince, he was still a descendant of the royal family after all. In particular, he had a good relationship with Yin Ren. When Yin Ren was still the prince, the two of them had the feat of sneaking out to visit a brothel together.

Yin Shili loudly questioned an official in the court: "Prince Pingxi is busy with all kinds of things, but he just plays with a few beautiful women. What's wrong? Isn't the world with the surname Yin? Isn't Prince Pingxi the son of the late emperor?

? Prince Pingxi has made great achievements in the Southwest Road, can't you all see it? The Southwest Road is a land of alienation and miasma. You are planning to drive Prince Pingxi away. Do you want to go to the Southwest Road yourself to become an official? It is recognized that

Today's Holy Lord is benevolent and filial, are you trying to kill our Holy Lord's reputation as a loving brother?"

When it came to coming to the Southwest Road to serve as an official, these ministers collectively fell silent. If the Southwest Road was a good place, why would Yin Ren rush Yin Che to a place like this to become a prince? But everyone saw the emperor talking to Yin

Che often felt dissatisfied, so he just used the topic to play off the topic. After all, everyone was carrying the rice bowl given by the emperor. Who wouldn't look at the emperor's face? Only Yin Shili, because he was the emperor and had a good relationship with the emperor, could

Dare you say such a thing.

Everyone was silent at the moment, and Yin Ren's face didn't look good. However, after the court was dismissed, Yin Shili stayed by himself and told Yin Ren his true thoughts, "Your Majesty, Yin Che is also your brother after all. He

You left him in a remote place on Southwest Road, and he will be like that for the rest of his life. He can't threaten your throne, so why do you have to kill them all? Even if you are pretending to be generous, consider saving some face for him.

Right? Your brother has face, and you also have face, so why not do it?"

On the same day, Yin Ren and Yin Shili talked for half an afternoon, and Yin Shili tried to enlighten Yin Ren in many aspects, such as not to use things like money-grabbing and women-making as a handle to deal with his subordinates, as that would dampen their enthusiasm.

As long as they can do their respective jobs well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, Yin Ren finally made up his mind to let his brother continue to be the Prince of Pingxi on Southwest Road.

, no longer hold him accountable for women’s affairs.

However, Yin Ren will never let Yin Che inherit the throne. He will slowly eliminate Yin Che's influence in the court. As long as Yin Che still squats in the backwoods of Southwest Road, he will not be able to change the world. This will not happen.

The problem. Imperial power is greater than family ties. Besides, Yin Shili also said that his own brothers guarding the border are more secure than outsiders.

Yin Ren treated his two brothers Yin Che and Yin Hai differently. Yin Hai was sealed to the Guannai Road by him and became the king of Qin. They were both brothers and princes. Yin Hai held the most elite figures in the Great Shang Kingdom.

There were thousands of troops in the pass, but Yin Che could only squat in the southwest road aggrievedly. Yin Ren knew very well that brother Yin Hai was loyal to him and had no second thoughts. But Yin Che was different. He was the strongest at that time.

Rival, if it weren't for the opposition of the ministers, my father would definitely have his position as prince deposed.

Although Yin Che squatted in the Southwest Road, he still had his ambition to govern the Southwest Road as a country. He wanted to let those in the court know that he, Yin Che, was okay, and it was wrong to choose Yin Ren as emperor. No.

Even steamed buns have to fight for this. Not to mention, in the past twenty years, Southwest Road has been well managed by Yin Che, and the economy and military have made great progress. The population of Southwest Road has doubled compared with before, and the people below

Life has become much better, and Yin Che's reputation among the government and the public is quite good.

During this period, something unexpected happened. When Yin Shili, the Marquis of Jingquan, and Yin Qing, the Crown Prince of Jiangdong, were drinking wine at Shuiyue Tower in Yong'an City, they became jealous of each other because of an oiran named Yu Meiniang.

They fought, but Yin Shili took advantage of his good relationship with the emperor and accidentally beat Yin Qing to death, who was also the emperor's son and grandson. This time Yin Shili caused a disaster, and he woke up from the wine at that time.

, without waiting for the Yamen to come and get it, he dressed up overnight, bribed the garrison and escaped from Yong'an.

Yin Shili had nowhere to go, and suddenly remembered that Prince Yin Che of Pingxi sent someone to write a letter to him when he learned that he had interceded for him and kept his title. The letter only said one sentence, saying no words of kindness.

Xie, if you have something to do in the future, come to Southwest Road. I can help you solve any matter within the scope of my power. After Yin Shili read the letter, he laughed and didn't take it seriously. After all, it was a friendship over drinking wine together.

.Looking back now, maybe no one can solve his problem except Yin Che.

In desperation, Yin Shili went straight to the southwest road to seek refuge with Yin Che, hoping that Yin Che would

He could remember the promise he made back then. When Yin Shili arrived at Southwest Road, he threw his famous assassin into the Pingxi Palace in panic and stood at the gate of the palace waiting anxiously. He didn't know if Yin Che would care about his affairs. Maybe

Was it just a casual promise at that time? He might even have been kidnapped and sent to the court, after all, he was an imperial prisoner.

Unexpectedly, Yin Che actually came out of the mansion to greet him, took him into Prince Pingxi's mansion, and hid him. No one in the mansion was allowed to reveal the news that Yin Shili was in the mansion. Yin Che took Yin Shili's hand and said with sincerity.

: "Brother Shili, your words back then, 'Prince Pingxi has a lot of things to do, but he just plays with a few beautiful women, what's wrong?', saved me, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life! Now you can rest assured, and you can treat me with peace of mind.

In my palace, I will never let you suffer!"

Besides, how could Yinzhong, the king of Jiangdong, not be upset when he heard that Yin Shili beat his son to death because he was fighting for a bitch? He went to Yong'an to file a complaint in person, insisting on getting an explanation for his son. Although the emperor Yin Ren was biased,

Yin Shili, but after all, the deceased was also the emperor's son and grandson. Officials in the court kept impeaching Yin Shili, saying that he had always bullied others, bullied men and women, etc. Yin Ren had no choice but to announce that he had revoked Yin Shili's title.

, and asked the Ministry of Punishment to issue arrest documents to arrest Yin Shili everywhere.

Although Yin Shili hid in Pingxi Prince's Mansion, he felt very uneasy. After all, he was carrying such a big life lawsuit! There is no airtight wall in the world, and soon the news that Yin Shili was hiding in Pingxi Prince's Mansion spread.

In Yong'an City, Yin Zhong, the king of Jiangdong, went to the court to make a fuss and asked the emperor to punish Prince Pingxi for harboring criminals. Yin Ren had no choice but to send an imperial envoy to Southwest Road to deal with the matter.

The matter got serious and Yin Che had no choice but to hand over Yin Shili. It happened that the abbot of Longfu Temple had just passed away and the new abbot had not yet been decided. Yin Che was helpless.

, he asked Yin Shili if he was willing to become a monk. If Yin Ruoli wanted to become a monk, Yin Che would secretly give Yin Ren a seal, saying that Yin Shili had become a monk out of fear of sin and asked him not to pursue this matter again.

Something happened.

After all, Yin Ren and Yin Shili had a friendship that allowed them to go to a brothel to drink wine together, so they would not kill him. Yin Shili had no choice but to bite the bullet and agreed, and Yin Shili hurried before the imperial envoy arrived.

He was ordained, transformed into a monk, and was sent to Longfu Temple to be the abbot. Of course, Yin Che would not be so stupid as to send Yin Shili to be the abbot in his own name. Aren't there still local officials there?

It is very appropriate for Yuzhou County Sheriff to do this.

After Yin Ren learned the news, he told Yin Zhong, the king of Jiangdong, that Yin Shili had committed suicide out of fear of crime. The southwest road was far away from the emperor, and Yin Zhong, the king of Jiangdong, who had been making trouble for his son's death for more than half a year, could not do anything about it, because Pingxi

It is true that there is no longer Yin Shili in the palace. He can't ask the emperor to chop off Yin Che's head, right?

Unfortunately, Yin Che is also the emperor's younger brother, and he is closer to him than the king of Jiangdong. Since Yin Shili is dead, the matter can only be left alone. However, in order to compensate Yin Zhong, Yin Ren gave his Jiangdong

The prince of the county conferred the title of Prince of Jiangdong, and also conferred the title of Prince of Jiangdong on Yin Zhong's son Yin Ji. Only then did Yin Zhong give up. After all, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with the emperor.

From then on, Yin Shili became the abbot of Longfu Temple, and he served as the abbot for more than thirty years, until Yin Quan, who was in charge of Wanji, succeeded Yin Che, who was in charge of Wanji, and became the king of Pingxi County. Yin Che always thought that,

If he had done so well in Southwest Road, sooner or later his brother would find out and make him a hereditary superintendent as compensation. But until the day he died, Yin Che could not wait for his brother to give him a hereditary superintendent.

Yin Che was lying on the hospital bed. When he heard that the envoy from Yong'an City came to visit him on behalf of the emperor, he was still asking, "Didn't the emperor give me Yin Che a hereditary replacement? Yin Ren really didn't give him a hereditary replacement, but Yin Ren didn't count."

In a disguised form, he compensated his younger brother. It was Yin Quan who got ahead of him and welcomed Ximen Yuxue, the most beautiful woman of Dashan, to Southwest Road to be the princess. Yin Ren, who had always been lustful, actually tolerated this incident. This also shows that Yin Quan

Ren still felt a little guilty about Yin Che deep down in her heart.

Yin Quan snatched away the number one beauty from Dashang that Yin Ren was optimistic about, and still didn't give up. He searched for beauties everywhere on Southwest Road and several nearby roads, including beauties from the East and West oceans and various countries. There were at least thousands of beauties in Prince Pingxi's palace.

Yin Quan enjoyed it, and for this reason Yin Quan was given the title of "Everyday Ruler". However, Yin Quan didn't care about those opinions at all. In the Great Shang Kingdom, as long as the emperor didn't care, who else would he care about?

Yin Quan was so arrogant and domineering that even the emperor's favored women dared to take advantage of him. Who dared to offend Yin Quan? So when Yin Quan ordered people to build the Pingxi Palace, which was known as a small imperial city and seriously violated regulations, the newly enthroned

The new emperor Yin Guang also adopted a default attitude of calming down the situation.

Regardless of whether it was the era of Yin Che, who had many affairs, or the era of Yin Quan, who had many affairs, Yin Shili, whose name was Huitong, was firmly his abbot in Longfu Temple, and he had a transcendent status in the eyes of the two Pingxi kings.
