The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

There are two important festivals in April. The eighth day of April is the birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni, and the thirteenth day of April is the birthday of Emperor Zhao Huan of Ganlong Festival. The two festivals have arrived together, and merchants want to take advantage of this. As they earned some money, officials from all over the country also brought tribute to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays, making Bianliang City even more lively.

On the third day of the lunar month, the King of Qin and the Princess went to Longde Palace to visit the Emperor and the Queen Mother. That day, the couple personally cooked a sumptuous lunch for the Emperor and his wife, and had a great chat. However, when they left, the King of Qin Suddenly, he turned around and knelt down, kowtowed three times to the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother, saying that he was unfilial. When the Queen Mother helped the King of Qin up, he saw him in tears and was not very sad...

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the King of Qin sent someone to give the emperor a birthday gift and asked Zong Zhengsi that he would take his princess to Daxiangguo Temple to pray for incense and blessings on the Buddha Bathing Festival.

Daxiangguo Temple is a famous royal temple, one of the top ten historical temples. It was originally named Jianguo Temple. It was built during the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The temple site was the former residence of Xinlingjun, the fourth son of the Warring States Period. Later Tang Ruizong was the descendant of King Xiang to commemorate his admiration. He was given the title of Daxiangguo Temple. By the time of the Song Dynasty, it was expanded many times, covering an area of ​​more than 500 acres, with 64 Zen, Law Schools and thousands of monks. It is the national Buddhist center.

In the Song Dynasty, because he was respected by the emperor, Xiangguo Temple was at its peak and became a "royal temple". Whenever overseas monks came to China, the emperor often ordered Daxiangguo Temple to be received; envoys from all directions would definitely enter the temple to visit. On the day of the Buddha's birthday, Buddhist monks and disciples bathed in water on this day, so they called this day the Buddha Bath Festival.

All temples in Bianjing held Buddhist bathing and vegetarian food on this day, especially the rituals of Daxiangguo Temple are the most grand, so many royal people will go to Xiangguo Temple to watch the ceremony and burn incense on this day. This is a very normal thing. But Da Zongzheng didn't dare to make decisions and hurriedly reported it to the emperor.

Zhao Huan was quite hesitant. Because there were so many tourists in Daxiangguo Temple on this day, a large number of people poured into Kaifeng City. He was worried that the King of Qin would take advantage of this, but if he didn't let him go, it seemed that it was not very humane. There is no right excuse either.

"Li Fu, which temple in Bianjing City has fewer people in the Buddhist festival?" Zhao Huan asked Li Fu, the eunuch standing aside, that he was responsible for surveillance of the King of Qin.

"Your Majesty, on this day of bathing in the Buddha, monks, nuns, Taoists, officials, people and women from all directions. They will go to the temples in the city to admire the grand occasion of bathing in the Buddha, and the temples of all sizes are crowded." Li Fu replied.

"The King of Qin is going to Daxiangguo Temple to burn incense. Can you stay here?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"This... Your Majesty, the King of Qin is too smart, and most of his subordinates are brave and cruel people. If he wants to escape in the chaos, the young man will not be sure to follow him!" Li Fu hesitated and said honestly.

"A bunch of waste can't even look down on me!" Zhao Huan cursed.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea. I don't know if it's feasible?" Li Fu thought for a while and said.

"explain!"

"Your Majesty, since the King of Qin only said to burn incense, then let him go to Kaibao Temple. On the way, we sent someone to pick him up and drop him off on the grounds of protecting the King of Qin's safety. Then we drove away all the monks and tourists in the tower in advance, and only let them go The King of Qin and his wife climbed the tower to burn incense and pray for blessings, and the young led the people to guard the tower gate. The pagoda was twenty feet high, and the King of Qin could not escape without help from it!" Li Fu said.

"Well. This idea is good, but the pagoda of Tianqing Temple is higher. Just send him to Tianqing Temple to burn incense as you said. If he still asks him to run away, be careful of your dog's head!" Zhao Huan said, a few days ago, he sent him to the sect. The spy who arrived in the Jin Kingdom sent back the news that the Jin army was mobilizing heavy troops and secretly rumored that they would send troops to help the Qin King of Song Kingdom restore the throne. If it was not for his birthday, it was not advisable to take action, otherwise he would be taken down. At this time, he must not be allowed to do so. escape!

"Yes, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Li Fu hurriedly kowtowed!

………

Early in the morning of the eighth month of April, Li Fu led a team of men to the Qin Palace as agreed in advance, escorting the Qin Palace to Tianqing Temple to burn incense. Zhao Qiong only brought two small yellow doors with incense and candles to go out.

Everyone gave them money to go out for fun on holiday.

"I was praised before the sound of croaking, and it made three thousand seas dim. The bad water was poured once a year. I knew that he was a reward for his gratitude." As soon as Zhao Qi went out, he met a group of little monks holding small basins to store copper.

The image is soaked with sugar water, covered with flower sheds, welcomed with cymbals, watered with small ladles, and recited verses loudly. Zhao Xiaoxiao smiled and ordered the disciples to receive money. These monks would go to the door of the great households to ask for money on holidays.

Yes, when Zhao Qi was in Xiangyi, he drove him away, but today he made an example!

Then Zhao Qiong rode his bike to Tianqing Temple. In fact, Tianqing Temple is also very famous. It is known as the four famous temples in Kyoto together with Xiangguo Temple, Kaibao Temple and Taiping Xingguo Temple. It was built during the Xiande period of the Later Zhou Dynasty and was completed on the day of its completion.

Zhou Shizong Chai Rong's birthday was "Tianqing Festival". In order to be Chai Rong's meritorious courtyard, the temple was named Tianqing Temple. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao mutiny and drove the last emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Gong of Zhou, from the palace.

He had fled to Tianqing Temple to take refuge for a while, and letting Zhao Qie go here to burn incense is not considered a low status.

Zhao Qi's palace is northwest of Kaifeng City, while Tianqing Temple is southeast of Kaifeng City. There are many pedestrians on the road. The royal family and noble families in Beijing are also out, and they all are surrounded by each other.

The King of Qin gave way. The good people respected him and sacrificed their lives for the country and were loyal and righteous; the bad people were afraid of the "No. 1 bastard" in the capital, and he was beaten up and had nowhere to be discussed!

The car was fast and slow. After an hour, he arrived at Tianqing Temple. The Buddha bathing ceremony had not yet begun, but the car did not stop in front of the hall, but pulled the prince directly under the Fantai.

The Fantastic Tower is built on a high platform. It is said that near the platform, a family named Fantastic Tower was lived a long time ago, so people call this high platform a Fantastic Tower with a wide table. Every spring, peaches and plums compete for spring on the Fantastic Tower, flowers bloom and green trees.

The palace is full of lushness and the characters are magnificent. People enjoy flowers in spring, burn incense and worship Buddha, drink wine and write poems, and call "Fan Pagoda Spring Scenery" one of the eight scenic spots in Kaifeng.

"Prince, this tower is pure and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery around you. I have someone to guard the door and serve the prince and princess!" As soon as the car stopped, Li Fu hurried forward and opened the car door for the prince and said.

"Haha, it's your kid who understands what I think. He likes quietness and rewards him with a big silver ingot!" Zhao Qiong looked up at the towering tower in front of him and said with a smile.

"Thank you, please come with me!" Li Fu took the silver and weighed it for ten taels, and said happily.

"This place is good, it's indeed a good place!" Zhao Qiong helped the princess, followed Li Fu upstairs, and looked around... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
