Empress Xiaozhao

C124 Jinshan Temple

The late imperial concubine and the emperor weren't on the same side, but the late imperial concubine had eunuchs serving her. Although palace maids were the best, this servant's physical strength was also different from that of a eunuch. Therefore, the Emperor discussed the Dharma at the front with the Emperor. The imperial concubines could see the scenery of the Jinshan Temple and pay their respects to the Buddha.

"According to chenqie's knowledge, this temple's entrance is usually facing south, but now that I see the Jinshan Temple's entrance is facing the west, chenqie is surprised. Could it be that there is some sort of story behind it? " Imperial Consort De was the youngest of all the concubines. As for those noble people, they had no right to interrupt the imperial concubine.

There were few people who would have thought of this in the beginning. Once Imperial Consort De had said these words, it was natural that they would cause Imperial Consort Xian to be unable to keep her mouth open. Really, if the Imperial Consort De did not mention it, I did not notice at all that the Jinshan Temple was not sitting on the north side facing south. I have always thought that there was a rule for the temple to be built. "

"In reply to the Empress, Jinshan Temple is different from the others." The emperor was accompanied by his master. This temple only had monks, so it could only be the temple head of the buddhist temple that came forward to explain things to the imperial concubine. The Jinshan Temple's gate was originally facing south, but the Jinshan Temple's temple was facing South Heaven Gate, which is the main entrance of the Heavenly Palace, so in order to avoid the taboo, the Jinshan Temple had no choice but to change the temple gate to face west, facing south Heaven Gate.

The Jinshan Temple's temple was facing the south and had offended the Jade Emperor. As a result, the Jinshan Gate was often set ablaze, and the temple was facing the west, facing the Elysian world. Avoiding the conflict between Taoism and Buddhism, one could also see the magnificent river surface. Jinshan originally stood in the heart of the river, the river from the west to the east, visitors in the temple gate, can fully reflect the magnificent view of "the east of the great river, groups of Shanxi from".

"I was completely unaware of this in the past, but I have to trouble Master to resolve this matter." Although the Imperial Consort Xian was taken care of by two parts of the capital because of the empress, the empress had left the Residence of State Duke early on. Other than the Thousand Autumn Festival, Dong Zhu and his twin sister rarely had the chance to spend time with each other. In the days of the Crown Prince's estate, and especially in the later years when he had been restrained from marrying Biron's third wife, he had been a county lord. Between these houses, even if it was his own home, there would be some unclean things that were inevitable.

All Imperial Consort Xian s were not real, just like dough, anyone could bully them.

"The Jinshan Temple has always been a buddhist important place. The empress dowager has always told me that the buddhist temples in this world are universal, be it the lama of southern Tibet or the Northern Temple of the Southern Buddha. Now that we have seen this Jinshan Temple, we understand the meaning behind those words that the empress dowager had said to us. "Please wait a moment. If fate wills it, we will naturally come to visit the Jinshan Temple again."

The Jinshan Temple that the emperor arrived at at the time, the Jinshan Temple that left at the time when he left, ate the fasting of the Jinshan Temple.

"The trip to Jinshan Temple has really broadened my horizons." Stepping onto the Dragon Boat, the emperor took out his imperial report and sighed to Liang Jiugong.

After the Emperor stepped onto the Dragon Boat, he had the intention to leave. On October 26th, they docked at Suzhou Mansion, a wealthy place called Jiangnan, together with Yangzhou. The local customs and traditions were all in the upper echelons, especially after the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the later Five Dynasties and Ten Empires of the Tang Dynasty. The war in the north did not stop. Therefore, the war did not destroy the south of the Yangtze River, more attracted the common people and received the welcome of the gentry.

The Suzhou Mansion extended from the east to the shore, from the southeast to the Sonjiang Prefecture, from 100 to 80 miles. From the south to the Jiaxing Prefecture, from the west to the Hu Prefecture, from 200 miles, from the northwest to 90 miles, and from the north to 270 miles, from the Yangzhou Prefecture, from the Yangtze Prefecture to the Tongzhou. From the Prefecture Overseer to the Jiangning Prefecture, five hundred and sixty miles, and from the capital city, two thousand nine hundred and fifty miles.

The wealth of the Suzhou Mansion was not only due to the fact that it was used as a grain depot in the south of the river. Therefore, even if the Jiangnan region had many giants, even if they became an imperial merchant, the merchants did not want their sons and grandsons to be the people who were looked down upon by others. And after the The late emperor was established in the capital, it was not impossible to announce the rankings of the Emperor and use the money to donate officials, it was just that the price to pay was extremely high.

However, the Giants of Suzhou Mansion did not care about it. Therefore, in order for their families to have a new official, the merchants of the Suzhou Mansion, especially the imperial merchants, were willing to serve the Emperor. One had to know that being an official was the best way to bring honor to one's ancestors. However, although the was the last destination for the emperor, he still had to stop to rest even though he couldn't stay for long. Even if it was just a deterrence, it was good.

That night, the emperor stayed at the Suzhou Inn and gathered the officials of the Suzhou Mansion to understand the local people's affairs. The next day, under the lead of the Prefect, the Emperor went to knotweed root. The knotweed root was located in the northwest suburbs of the Suzhou Mansion, five kilometers away from the center of the city. According to legend, in the spring and autumn, Wu Wang Fu buried his father here, buried three days after the white tiger on it, so the name knotweed root. And the folk because of "Qiu like crouching tiger, in the form of name."

When the Emperor wanted to go to the knotweed root, he had already informed the Prefect that the knotweed root was overflowing with ancient trees, that there were small mountains, and that the thousand year knotweed root Tower was at the peak of the mountain. Wu Diji said: "knotweed root mountain rock, Huang Huang, Mao Lin, the face of the left hill." To have the reputation of "Wu Zhong's first victory".

However, the Emperor did not come to the knotweed root for the sake of Wu Zhong's first sight. He ordered the Emperor to build a pagoda in the knotweed root, and build a Great Buddha Temple and a Wen Wen Shu Pavilion. However, the eight year big fire that Xuan De had caused had completely destroyed all of the scriptures of the knotweed root and all of the pagodas there was no difference.

As a result, the Assistant Minister Zhou Yi, who was a government official, learned that the Cloud Rock Temple's Abbot Nan Qiu was resurgent, and was the first to donate his salary to the Monastery. The officials and citizens of the Suzhou all bestowed their property upon him. From the two years of orthodoxy to Jingtai, about 15 years later, the pagoda was repaired, the Great Buddha Temple was rebuilt, and then the scriptures were built, including the Scriptures, the three Grand Scholars Hall, the Galactic Hall, the Xiang Ji Hall and the Haiquan Pavilion.

The year of Wan Li Jia Jing and the Heaven's Enlightenment. Under the support of government officials such as Hu Lu Zong, they also built the Thousand Blessings Pavilion, Western Palace, Jia Lan Palace, and Heavenly King Palace one after another. The Thousand-hand Guan Yin Palace, the Great Hall of Grief, the Rotating Great Hidden Hall, the Thousand Buddha Pavilion, the Enlightenment Stone Pavilion, the Serenity Shrine, the Five Virtuous Shrines, the Shenjun Shrine, the Yangsu Tower, and so on, all continued to cultivate their pagodas.

Whether it was in the Ming Dynasty, or even higher, the Sui Tang, or even the Spring and Autumn Period, because the Wu Country once again established the capital, the meaning of the knotweed root was absolutely different. And the emperor valued the knotweed root differently, so even if the Suzhou Mansion and Jiang Ning's relationship was the complete opposite, he still came to the Suzhou.

Accompanied by the Prefect, the Emperor did not change his clothes. It was just that when he informed the Prefect, the Emperor was already arriving at Suzhou. Even if he had the time to cover up some things, the emperor wasn't afraid that he would be able to cover them all. As a result, after the Suzhou left the knotweed root, on the streets of the Suzhou, the Emperor looked at the local lands, the streets of the Suzhou Mansion, as well as the dishes produced in the teahouses and restaurants, he was still able to see the inklings.

The six words "still in the void" and "An Yi's joy" were the emperor's evaluation of the entire Suzhou. Thus, after the emperor left the Suzhou, he left behind a sentence for the prefect of the prefecture. "The government should be made to return to its former glory, and the family should be given enough money to bring down the wind." Nowadays, government was already a common practice. After Hong Xi had dealt with a group of people, the Emperor understood that it was better to not say these words.

So even if the Suzhou was not enough to satisfy him, the Emperor still planned to endure. If all the officials in the imperial court were to be honest, the emperor would have to be on his guard against his officials. The extremes of things are always reversed, and there must be an anomaly.

As for the dragon boat, because the three princes went to the knotweed root with the emperor, they recalled the feeling of reaching the peak of Mt. Tai at the beginning of October at the Qi Lu Tai'an Estate. That's why I still think that knotweed root is not as interesting as Mt. Tai. Didn't Du Fu say that 'I will be at the peak of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains'? There is simply no such feeling in the knotweed root. "

In the end, because of his age, Yin Zhi liked those things that attracted him more than the First Prince Yin Ti and the Eastern Palace Yin Reng. Back then, at Tai An Prefecture, in addition to Mt. Tai, the Emperor went to Qin Guan Feng, Kong Zi, Little World, Sun Guan Mountain and so on. On the eleventh of the tenth month, he also offered a sacrifice to the God of Mt. Tai. At the same time, he wrote the two words, "Cloud Peak", causing the magistrate to grind the cliffs and retract the rocks.

At the same time, because there was a cliff at the summit of Mount Tai, the Prefect invited the Emperor to view the cliff. This Sacrificial Cliff was located to the south of the mountain peak. Three steep cliffs faced the bottom of the abyss, and the terrain was extremely dangerous. There is a local vulgarity, in order to cure the parents' illness, people often come here to jump off the cliff to live, in exchange for the god to protect their parents.

Before the official who explained the local customs could finish, the emperor was already furious. He scolded, "Those ignorant fools who don't understand how to be bewitched by these ridiculous things, thinking that sacrificing themselves is true filial piety. Have they forgotten that they can't be harmed by their parents?"

"The true filial piety should be like the Wen Emperor personally tasting the soup medicine, like Wang Xiang lying on the ground begging for carp, and not so easily begging for death. Confucius Yun, 'The son of his parents is a worry.' When a child risked his or her life to seek death, he or she could not raise his or her parents. This was the greatest unfilial act. It was even more unfilial to make his parents work sorrowfully. It was said that filial piety took precedence over filial piety. The land of Qi Lu was the place of Kong Meng. However, filial piety was something he did not know. Let's see what this place is! "Yi Xiaoru has ordered the people not to misunderstand their words. Local officials should strictly forbid it, and no matter what happens, they must not sacrifice themselves."

Even if the Emperor was discussing national affairs, it was rare for him to say such a long piece of news. This so-called Sacrificial Cliff was inappropriate so he immediately ordered the Prefect to surround the Sacrificial Cliff. The Emperor also knew that since the Sacrificial Cliff could be spread out, it was naturally forbidden by force of his own will. However, the Emperor still felt that it was worth it to be able to reduce the deaths of the ignorant and filial people.

After that, regarding the matter of sacrificing himself to the cliff, there was a great decrease in the number of people who had come to sacrifice themselves because of the Emperor's decree.

(Emperor Kang Xi had said: The foolish are ignorant, and are deluded by the preposterous. They sacrifice their lives for the sake of filial piety, and do not know how to deal with their parents, who do not dare to harm them.) And the son is not only self-sacrifice, can not support the parents, is unfilial also. It is advisable to forbid the public from being wronged by custom.)
