Chapter 2451 Auspicious

Thirty-seven years have passed since Kureiyuan was razed.

It seems to have been erased from people's memories, as if it never existed.

The ruins of Kurongyuan are still there. They have been deserted for thirty-seven years. They have long existed as a forbidden place in Linzi, and no one is allowed to seek secluded places. As time goes by, no one mentions them anymore.

There are almost no monks in Linzi.

However, this year there was news that the master craftsmen in the engineering institute had already started drawing and selecting materials - it was said that today the emperor intends to build a sea-viewing tower to show off Qi's martial arts in conquering the East China Sea, opposite to the existing star observation tower.

The site chosen is at the ruins of Kurei-in Temple.

Bao Weihong expressed doubts about this statement.

He did not doubt the location of "Wanghaitai", but he doubted the idea of ​​"showing off martial arts".

As the son of Uncle Yingying Baoheng and recognized as the most talented person in Uncle Yingying's house, he has his own understanding of the current situation.

Today, in the sixty-sixth year of Emperor Yuji's reign, his martial arts and martial arts are the best in all dynasties, but there is nothing worth mentioning in terms of arrogant and luxurious enjoyment. After so many years, it is just a "lasting wealth and long life", but the Gao family has been for generations.

Those people could not see the contribution of the maritime merchants and Jinghai Gao to the Qi people's expansion of the sea.

To say that today's large-scale construction projects and the construction of sea-viewing platforms are purely for showing off and enjoyment, it is not the style of today's society no matter how you look at it.

Furthermore, how can one not be able to boast about the achievements of an emperor? How can one not enjoy the achievements of an emperor?

"Although you sing the joy of the world, it is not enough to play its merits. Even though you make the most of the treasures of the four seas, you are not enough to enjoy its inheritance!"

Like many people born in the Yuanfeng era of the Da Qi Empire, Bao Weihong has the highest worship and admiration for the Emperor - even now that he has seen the true meaning of life, this worship is only based on the belief in [death].

Down.

Only death is the highest justice, only death is the end of everything.

Only Jiang Shu is the true emperor and can be regarded as the emperor for eternity!

The location of Wanghaitai is surprising at first, and then makes people think deeply.

After Gein became a famous family, Bao Weihong knew deeply how influential Kurongyuan had been.

There is a poem to prove it - "Eight hundred temples in the East Kingdom, the Buddha illuminates the pillow and sleeps." ("Dongxiang Gubi")

Of course, poems like these have basically disappeared later. That is to say, a son of an aristocratic family like Bao Weihong can still find a few words in some essays at the time.

Many years after the destruction of Kurongyuan, the Daqi Night Wandering God and the watchman Zhu Sui often patrolled here.

Even Uncle Shuo Fang personally participated in the war against Kurongyuan, but he kept it secret for many years.

So when he became very curious about Kurei-yuan and was eager to trace its origins and clarify the history of that year, he did not even think about asking his biological uncle, but to find out the answer himself.

First, I knew that Uncle Shuo would not tell me, and second, I instinctively felt that asking Uncle Shuo about this matter was quite risky.

Of course, he couldn't go directly to the ruins of Kureiyuan to check the history, not to mention whether he could still pick up any rags after so many years.

Just for this matter that everyone avoids talking about, there must be some kind of truth that is inconvenient to discuss, and there must be some kind of force that does not want people to discuss it openly - he is not stupid, how can he ask in a big way?

Bao's carriage business has the largest market share in Qi State, and its intelligence capabilities are second to none.

Relying on Bao's connections, Bao Weihong visited many officials involved in the old affairs of Kurongyuan. Many of them have already become officials, and those who are still in office are already in high positions.

Fortunately, Mr. Bao is naturally of high rank, and he is qualified to talk to him since he was born.

In addition, he also went to [Dianyuan], which was under the jurisdiction of Zang Zhiquan, the imperial court official. He had a good friend who was working as a "Zhishu Lang" in Dianyuan and followed Zang Zhiquan to compile history. Unfortunately, the detailed records of the Kurongyuan incident that year were not found in [Dianyuan].

It is also a secret file in the hospital, and his friends have no right to read it.

However, the general outline of the Kurei-in incident was relatively publicly described in [Dian-in].

He also borrowed some miscellaneous records and finally pieced together a rough supplement in his mind.

Including [Dian Yuan], many records basically characterize the razing of Kurong Yuan as "quelling chaos". This represents the official attitude of Qi State.

Finally, he came to Yulifeng.

Yulifeng is a very interesting place.

It used to be the poorest place in Linzi and a place where refugees gathered. The old view changed because of the arrival of Desheng Trading Company.

It can be regarded as a rare display of warmth from Bowang Hou, who is actually cold-hearted.

But as a descendant of the Bao family, Bao Weihong's coming here certainly has nothing to do with the surname Chongxuan.

Yulifeng was a place where fishermen lived a long time ago, long before the Qi State was established. There was a name at that time, "Yulifang".

I don't know why the history of the Eastern Region is so complete, but this name has been lost. Bao Weihong also saw the record in a very remote classic.

Of course, the main reason why he chose to come to this place is——

Before the destruction of Kurongyuan, every family in Yulifefang worshiped Buddha. It was the most pious charity center in Kurongyuan and was even called "Yuli Zen Fang"!

When Kurongyuan was still there, there was an incense shop in every three steps of Yulifeng and a restaurant in every five steps. People could live a very good life just by doing incense and candle business, and their families were well off. There were even "offering incense on behalf of others", "

No matter how busy you are in the business of "worshiping the Buddha on behalf of the Buddha", you can still be polite in front of the Buddha as long as you use money.

This place fell into decline with the decline of Kurongyuan. "Dongxiang Gubi" wrote, "Once the incense is extinguished, every household will not be able to live."

Although he did not explicitly say that this is the Yuli Zen Fang, Bao Weihong felt that there was no more suitable place.

He even asked his father Yingbo's friend, an elder who taught at Qinku Academy, to help him find out a most important piece of history——

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the mysterious "Tianfei" who practiced in Kurongyuan was born in Yulifeng!

It is precisely because of this nobility and the connection with Buddhism, and the royal family of all generations who have taken care of this place intentionally or unintentionally, that Yuli Fang has "unceasing good faith" and can become "Yulifang Zen Fang".

Now we are all gone.

Whether it is "Tianfei" or "Yuli Zen Studio", they are like the ashes of the incense burner and have become history.

Walking in the bustling Yulifeng, a place he would never have set foot on before, feeling the flow of time and the changes in things, Bao Weihong suddenly thought -

How is Desheng Trading Company's transformation of Yulifeng similar to Wanghaitai's occupation of the ruins of Kurongyuan?

And Yulifeng has been reduced to a place of poverty and poverty, and Kurongyuan has been reduced to ruins. What is the difference?

Now it seems that it is exactly the same idea.

First, completely eliminate the influence of Kurei-in, use "time" and "abandonment", and perhaps "suppression". These three treasures will kill the Buddha. Finally, rebuild on the ruins to make everything new.

After Wanghaitai is completed, which will not take more than a few years, if you ask what Kurongyuan is, I am afraid not many people will know.

Just like Yulifeng today, the sound of Zen has long since ceased to exist.

Before the construction of Wanghaitai, who could have taken the initiative to embrace the emperor's thinking and think about what the emperor had not said?

Should it be said that he is worthy of being the Marquis of Bowang? In just a few years after taking the title, he has already established his own faction in the court, and has become a true official?

Bao Weihong suddenly lost interest in Kurongyuan at this time.

He realized what kind of person the Bao family's old rival was in the hands of now. Even if Bao Xuanjing was extremely talented, could the Bao family really compete with the Chongxuan family when Xuanjing's nephew grew up?

Today's Bao Xuanjing is nothing more than tomorrow's Zhongxuan Zun.

But didn’t Chongxuan Zun also lose the title of Bowanghou?

The feeling of exploring history in my heart was like a fire for some reason. It was extinguished at first, but the next moment it suddenly ignited and burned again.

Kurongyuan... Bao Weihong found that he still wanted to know the history of Kurongyuan, and he wanted to know it urgently. He didn't know why he was so curious, but he couldn't overcome his burning desire to explore.

So he stopped and walked forward again, even a little eagerly.

According to the information from previous investigations, there was an old woman named "Ji Nu" in Yulifeng. Thirty-seven years ago, she opened an incense shop in Yulifeng. After the destruction of Kurongyuan, she did not leave. She lived alone here with others.

It is said that there is a way to summon gods to predict misfortune and ask questions about good luck - of course it can only deceive some ignorant neighbors, but it is enough to make a living.

Yulifeng has been poor for a long time, but the poorer it is, the easier it is to place its hope in misty things because there is really no other hope.

"Ji Ni" is the only old man who can still be related to "Yuli Chan Fang". The others were either killed, fled, or changed their faces.

Of course, this also means that she must not be a key figure in Kureiyuan, otherwise the court would not allow her to be here today. The longer she exists, the more it means that she may be irrelevant.

But Bao Weihong just wanted to explore history. He only wanted people who experienced that time, and he was not looking for the inheritance of Kurongyuan.

I walked forward along the map in my memory, winding around the complex Yulifeng, and finally came to a secluded courtyard.

He walked to the crumbling courtyard door, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door——

Squeak~ Yeah

The courtyard door opened on its own.

Standing in the room was a slender woman wearing single clothes and cloth shoes, looking at him expressionlessly.

It was a look with no emotion, but a very dangerous look.

Bao Weihong took a step back almost subconsciously!

The woman in front of me has been an unknown person for a long time.

Without a prominent family background or outstanding talent, anyone with a little bit of strength could easily crush her to death.

She is just a maid...

But she is Jiang Wang’s maid!
