Since there is no need to go to court today, many officials will sleep in, and Su Ziji is no exception.
It was already Chenshi when I woke up. It was early in the morning at Chenshi in summer. When I got up, Ye Buhui was still sleeping beside him, but Buhui was pregnant and drowsy. Su Ziji felt that he had suddenly relaxed.
Deep sleepiness.
I went out quietly and was asked to prepare hot water, towels and mouthwash. The towels were as white as snow. I took a step in the boiling hot water and pressed it on my face. It was very refreshing.
The original fatigue and sleepiness flew away as soon as I put a hot towel on my face for a while.
After gargling and having breakfast, I heard footsteps outside and saw Cen Rubai and Wen Xunpeng coming over. They smiled and arrived in the corridor.
It was drizzling outside, and the autumn mood was getting stronger. Su Ziji smiled: "The weather is hot, and now it finally rains."
Cen Rubai smiled and said, "It's raining. If it rains a few more times, it will get cold. Your Majesty and Princess can also have some cool days."
"What this means is that I don't regret the hard work, but I'm afraid that ice will hurt my body, so I don't even dare to use ice. It's really hard, and now I'm much better." Su Ziji said, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Wen Xunpeng was silent.
He seemed to be deep in thought and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Wen, what are you thinking about?"
"Your Majesty, I am wondering whether there are any errors or omissions in the document I drafted with Mr. Jian yesterday, and whether the temple should be slowed down a bit."
Su Ziji couldn't help but laugh: "I read this book before handing it over. The book is very well written and there are no mistakes or omissions. If my predictions are correct, the emperor will definitely praise me."
Saying this, Su Ziji smiled and was in a good mood, and said: "As for the temple, you can wait a while and wait for me to think about it again."
In fact, the first part of Wen Xunpeng's words was false, but the admonishment of Yan Yihuan was true. He had built 16 temples in a row, and his followers spread to millions of people. Although the public opinion was still low, so many, it was extremely impressive.
It's very detrimental to yourself.
But what I want is this.
He struck again and again and won all the battles. Not only was King Lu eliminated, but even Qi and Shu secretly cut off a lot. Although it was perfect and there was no evidence, this momentum was a bit out of line when measured on the emperor's chessboard.
The emperor may not be interested in himself, but even if he is interested in himself, he still hopes to balance with the kings, rather than gradually stand out.
This temple incident was originally a blame thrown by the emperor to him, but he accepted it generously and acted vigorously and resolutely. He offended so many people and undermined his own reputation. The emperor knew about it, and he must have been considerate of it, so he would naturally comfort him.
reward.
But how could the emperor have thought that he could spread his reputation through things such as his literary mind and his great achievements? According to his own observation, although he had offended many people, among the scholar-officials, he was not only famous in the world, but at least he had a good reputation.
Gradually rising.
"Why was it that in the original world, only Li Shimin could achieve the Xuanwu Sect's changes?"
"It is really the merit of the King of Qin, and it is famous in the court and the public."
"If you don't have this name, even if you succeed, you will still be a traitor and a traitor, and it will be difficult for officials to accept it."
"I want Taiping to become the crown prince and grandson, but if it doesn't happen, I need a reputation like Li Shimin. This is to pave the way in advance."
"Not to mention, the classics obtained by copying the family have made my progress in Taoism, and my alchemy has made great progress."
Just as he was thinking about it, the housekeeper hurried over and bowed: "Your Majesty, an angel has come to the palace to announce the decree!"
Probably because the person who came to announce the decree was an unfamiliar face, the housekeeper was a little nervous. He couldn't help but think of what happened to the former King of Lu, and he was a little worried.
Su Ziji stood up and said, "Let's put the incense table on the table. Go to the place where you don't regret to wake me up."
Ye Bugui had to have someone inform him. He had no choice but to do so. Although it was very likely that the matter that came to announce the decree had nothing to do with the princess Ye Bugui, it could be related. If the person did not arrive, it would be rude.
After a moment, the door of Prince Dai's Mansion opened wide, and Su Ziji, dressed in royal robes, came out to greet him personally.
As soon as he left the palace, he saw the eunuch standing outside smiling. It was Ma Shunde who, in the eyes of outsiders, had just defeated Eunuch Zhao.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Ma." Su Ziji greeted him with a smile.
"This slave is so frightened, how dare you bother the prince to greet you?" Ma Shunde smiled warmly, even more so than Eunuch Zhao. Those who didn't know might think he had a personal relationship with the king.
Su Ziji hurriedly said: "You are an imperial envoy and an angel today, and you should be like this!"
The two of them chatted and laughed, then went inside. When they entered the main courtyard, the incense table was already set, and Ye Buhui was dressed in princess clothes, surrounded by maids and servants.
Ma Shunde glanced at it and said: "I also asked the Taoist Liu Zhan and the monk to come here. The edict has been mentioned, and I need to come and listen to it!"
Although Su Ziji was confident and slightly raised, he finally felt at ease. Needless to say, this time Eunuch Ma came to read out the imperial edict to confer the title of Taoist monk.
"Hurry up and ask Master Liu and Master Bianxuan to come and listen to the order!" Su Ziji hurriedly ordered: "Also, the princess is pregnant. Let the princess go to rest. There is no need to wait here."
People ran in a hurry, and after a while, following a burst of light footsteps, a monk wearing a Buddhist robe entered the main courtyard first. As soon as he entered, he folded his hands.
The monk who bowed quietly still looked like a jade tree standing in the wind, with great bearing. However, the only flaw was that when he raised his head, there was a black eyepatch tied on his handsome face. It was like a piece of beautiful jade, but it eventually had flaws.
Ma Shunde had heard about Bianxuan and knew that Bianxuan had once had a good reputation in the capital and was well-known among dignitaries. Unexpectedly, he was beaten after being imprisoned because he was involved in the big demon incident.
I am blind in one eye. Presumably, under the black blindfold, it is the blind eye whose eyeball has been removed?
Ma Shunde looked thoughtful.
After waiting for a while, Liu Zhan, who was not in the mansion, also came.
This Mr. Liu was not an unknown person. He seemed to have a grudge against the previous dynasty. Ma Shunde also took a deep look, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
As he spoke, he stood expressionless behind the incense table, facing south, and shouted: "There is a will!"
Others were not qualified to receive the edict, so they all stayed away and went inside. The three principals knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I will respectfully listen to the edict!"
The sentence "I carry out the emperor's decree by heaven" actually indicates the level of the decree. Ma Shunde continued to read: "I was sent by the king to inspect the shrine. He worked diligently in royal affairs and had outstanding political achievements. He deeply liked me and received a reward of five hundred taels.
, Thousands of pieces of silk, give me half a month off..."
"Liu Zhan has been granted the title of Puji Zhenren and a bachelor. He is dedicated to the king's affairs and works tirelessly. It is appropriate to add more favors and give him the title of Xuancheng and a plaque to avoid the tax..."
"Qingyuan Temple's Bian Xuan was originally suspected. Now he is assisting in the work. He is very sincere. Not only can he be exempted from the crime, but he should also be rewarded according to his merits. He will be given the title of Zen Master Jianxin to show his excellence. I appreciate this!"
After reading the imperial edict, Ma Shunde regained his smile. He first asked the king to stand up, and then said to Liu Zhan: "Master Xuancheng Puji, congratulations, congratulations!"
According to the rules of the imperial court, the person who gives the title has the second character "chu" and the fourth character added. Xuancheng adds the second character " seal" to Liu Zhan. He is already Puji Zhenren. After adding two characters, he becomes the fourth character "Xuancheng Puji Da Zhenren". If you take one step further, you will be the true king.
In addition to adding two words of seal, a new plaque was also given to Liu Zhan, which means that another Taoist temple can be included in the ceremony, which is a good thing for Liu Zhan and his disciples.
As for Bianxuan, Ma Shunde also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Zen Master Jianxin for being able to clear his name and return to Qingyuan Temple to preside over it."
Although the issue of Qingyuan Temple has not been cleared up and there are still suspicions, Bian Xuan has proven his innocence and he naturally returns to the temple.
However, the original host could no longer hold the post. Since the emperor conferred the title of Zen Master Jianxin, it was natural for the emperor to appoint Benxuan as the new host.
