Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Zhang Xiangsheng and Ling Xun took part in the imperial examination together that year, one won the first place in the first class and the other won the first place in the second class.

One stayed in the court, and the other became the governor of Zhongzhou.

Now Ling Xun has become the prime minister after many ups and downs, and Zhang Xiangsheng has taken root in Zhongzhou.

Zhongzhou suffered a major earthquake three years ago. After the disaster, it was rebuilt and has now regained its prosperity thanks to the efforts of Zhang Xiangsheng.

Accompanied by Zhang Xiangsheng, Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao inspected various industries and also visited the national treasury.

When Zhou Shaoyu saw the treasury full of silver and grain, he was very satisfied.

He is in charge of people's livelihood, and he can't do without money.

Xie Zhaozhao is in charge of the territory and all the heavy troops are in her hands, but she owns the shipping routes. Now the shipping routes are directly owned by the Yulong Kingdom court, and the money earned is enough to maintain the troops.

Under Zhang Xiangsheng's governance, the people of Zhongzhou were prosperous and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Zhou Shaoyu had an idea and started thinking about finding a new place for Zhang Xiangsheng.

After inspecting Zhongzhou and meeting with local officials to give Zhang Xiangsheng enough support, Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao made a special trip to visit the Temple of Loyal Martyrs.

Xie Zhaozhao wants to go see Yin Jinan.

There are not many temples of loyalty and bravery built by the people, and there are only three in the country.

There is one in Zhongzhou.

It is located in the suburbs and covers a large area. In addition to the main hall, it is also connected to a huge manor.

Zhang Xiangsheng said: "Since the construction of the temple of King Bingjian, Zhongzhou has been full of heroic spirit. It is said that if a man has a difficult problem and asks King Bingjian for help, his dream will come true, and it is especially effective."

He also said that King Bingjian had a strange temper.

There was a second-rate guy who wanted to get something for nothing, so he came to the King of Side by Side and said he wanted to make a fortune. However, before he even left the temple, he fell down the steps and broke his forehead.

Everyone said that it must be because King Bingjian was angry and kicked him.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled. Indeed, Yin Jinan hated evil and was a very upright and simple person in his heart.

Zhang Xiangsheng said: "The reputation of King Bingjian for his integrity has spread, and the trend of doing good and doing good has prevailed. If you ask him for help, everything will be answered."

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao went there in disguise, and on the way they met many people who were going to the Temple of Loyalty and Martyrs to fulfill their vows. They were carrying baskets with incense and candles in them, and some even brought fruit as offerings.

She was eager to see what Yin Jinan looked like.

After the temple was built, she did not have the opportunity to leave the palace and had not seen what the folk temple looked like after it was built.

There was a drought in Zhongzhou and the ground was windy. She was walking on the road when a spring breeze created a tornado as tall as a person, which followed her closely all the way to the temple gate.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't look away. She was the emperor, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Phoenix, and she had to observe the rules and etiquette.

But she was thinking in her heart: Yin Jinan, is that you?

Naturally, no one answered her.

I stepped over the threshold and entered the temple, and saw the plaque with the words "Temple of Loyalty and Martyrs" written by Zhou Shaoyu.

There are vermilion columns, vermilion doors and windows, and two eight-foot golden statues standing inside.

She looked at the statue carefully, and it was 80% similar to the original and had 100% charm.

With his rebellious face and tightly pursed thin lips, he looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

Nanxing and Yuanyuan had already prepared incense and candles, and placed flowers and fruits in front of the two statues.

Xie Zhaozhao lit incense and then silently gazed at his statue.

If he were alive, Xie Zhaozhao would not be able to look him in the face like this. Even if he was the emperor, there was no reason for him to look someone in the face.

Suddenly, Xie Zhaozhao heard a piece of music coming faintly from a distance. A fragrant mist rose in front of her eyes, and Yin Jinan's image seemed to be floating in the mist.

The statue came to life, and he sat in his own statue seat, smiling with his handsome eyes, looking at her with a hint of unruliness.

"Living Guanyin, you came to see me?"

Xie Zhaozhao also laughed and said, "If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain. I can't expect us to never see each other again."

Yin Jinan said lazily: "I went to look for you, but I couldn't get into the palace. I sat on the curb opposite the palace gate for a year."

Xie Zhaozhao burst into tears: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you waited so long..."

"Nothing, I just want to."

"As you wish, I am now the empress. I want to take my destiny into my own hands."

"That little kid is your son?"

"Yes, his name is Zhou Qiheng, and the jade pendant you prepared for him is hung around his waist."

……

"Zhao Zhao?"

"master?"

When Xie Zhaozhao opened his eyes, he saw several pairs of anxious eyes. Xie Zhaozhao saw himself being held in Zhou Shaoyu's arms in the resting area opposite the altar.

"Mother," Xiao Heng'er was taught not to call her "Mother Queen" outside. His eyes were red. "Why did you fall asleep?"

Xie Zhaozhao reached out and touched his little head: "What's wrong with me?"

Yuanyuan and Manman squatted beside her, tears falling down their cheeks. They said, "Master, you suddenly fainted."

They all knew that the master missed his friends!

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Isn't everything fine?"

Zhou Shaoyu didn't show it on his face, and said, "I've seen it, let's go back?"

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the majestic and unruly statue in the hall and nodded: "Let's go."

When she left the temple, another spring breeze blew up a cloud of dust, forming a tornado more than one meter high. Even when she was more than ten miles away from the temple, the tornado was still following her.

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes turned red and he said, "Go back!"

Zhou Shaoyu looked at the tornado that was moving further and further away, hugged Xiao Heng'er tightly, and said to him: "Xiao Heng'er, today your father will tell you a story."

"What story is Father telling?"

"The Three Heroes of Peach Garden..."

*

Before the Shangsi Festival, Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu returned to the capital with their son Xiaoheng'er.

After returning to the palace, Xie Zhaozhao stopped at the gate of the imperial palace.

Outside Mingde Gate is the flat and open Tianjie and square.

She looked at the curb of Tianjie and seemed to see Yin Jinan sitting on the side of the road, stretching his long legs, waiting for Xie Zhaozhao to summon him in the wind and rain.

She was the emperor, and she could no longer go out shopping as she pleased, or ride in her carriage to teahouses and restaurants as she did before.

Now she sits in the palace and may not leave the palace once in a year or two.

He sat on the curb waiting for her, and indeed he only saw her once a year.

Zhou Shaoyu saw her looking at the roadside and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Xie Zhaozhao pointed at the curb and said, "In the future, we should build a shelter every 150 meters on the roadside. When it rains or snows, people can take shelter there."

Zhou Shaoyu immediately instructed the Ministry of Works to make arrangements.

Thinking of how lifelike the statue of Yin Jin'an was, Xie Zhaozhao asked Zhou Shaoyu, "The statues of King Bingjian and Duke Xunguo are very well made. Is this the work of the Ministry of Works?"

Zhou Shaoyu said: "I said I sculpted it myself, do you believe it?"

"You?" Xie Zhaozhao was shocked. "You are good at this?"

Xiu Ning interrupted, "Your Majesty Emperor An, Your Majesty Emperor Chen personally sculpted the statues of King Bingjian and Duke Xunguo. I saw it with my own eyes."

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that after the announcement of the construction of the temple, he would leave the palace mysteriously every day after court.

"I'm not hiding this from you, I'm just afraid you'll be sad. Jin'an and Duke Xun are the heroes of Yulong Country. Only if I make their statues myself can I show them enough respect."

Xie Zhaozhao reached out and held his hand, gently squeezing it three times.

Zhou Shaoyu, thank you!!

As soon as the two returned to the palace, the Empress Dowager (Old Lady Xie) came herself, and Princess Changping also came with her twin brother and sister Xie Xingye and Xie Xingwan.

The Empress Dowager came over with a cane. When she saw Xie Zhaozhao, she checked him out and said, "You and Emperor Chen are really something. You've been away for so long!"

"I made my grandmother worried."

The Empress Dowager didn't bother with her and hurried to pick up Xiao Heng'er.

We are close to each other across generations!

"Heng'er, you've grown taller again! How was your day outside? Did you have fun?"

"My dear, it's so much fun out there. We rode horses, took boats, shot rabbits, and met a lot of people."

"Brother Heng, look what this is?" Cousin Xie Xingye proudly handed a little wolfdog to little Heng, "Don't look at it as small now, it will be very powerful when it grows up, woooo~"

Xiao Heng'er was suddenly stuck for words.

He is very powerful. He is competing with him for the queen mother!

Zhou Shaoyu had already sent a message to Huguo Temple in Lizhou, inviting Living Buddha Yuanji to come to the capital.

Both the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory said that Yuan Ji had not been found yet, but envoys from Nanzhao, Pyu, Xiandou, Dongli and Tubo had already arrived in Daming Prefecture one after another.

The Ministry of Rites took everyone directly to the post station.

The inn checked the envoys according to the list and assigned them courtyards.

Princess Trizhen of Pyu Kingdom and the Imperial Master Tsering Rinpoche;

His Royal Highness Duan Rui, the Third Prince of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Imperial Master Wuyan;

The wise bean national teacher Zantuo Jialuo;

The Tibetan prince Naren and the imperial teacher Dingzhe;

There are three trees under the tree for His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Dongli Kingdom, and one pine tree for the Imperial Master.

I originally thought that they would stay in the yard obediently, but the national masters of these countries couldn't sit still.

As soon as they settled down, they held a small meeting on their own without waiting to be summoned by Emperor An or Emperor Chen.

The purpose of their visit this time was to look for someone.

Pyu Gukje Rinpoche was among the first group to arrive in Daming Prefecture.

He said excitedly, "A few years ago, Princess Chizhen was rescued by Lizhou businessman Tian Yaozu. I saw a glow between Tian Yaozu's brows, so I gave him a consecrated and incantated picture of the six reincarnations. In the first month of this year, the soul formation began to fluctuate, indicating that the painting must have touched the aura of the Holy Guan Buddha."

The Nanzhao Kingdom, Xiandou, Tubo and Dongli all looked at him with envy. Over the years, he had consecrated and blessed the Six Paths of Reincarnation diagram and given it to countless people who took a fancy to it, but many, many years had passed and there had been no response.

Matsushita said anxiously: "Have you made any new discoveries since you came to Yulong Country? I found that the fluctuations become stronger with every step closer to Daming Prefecture."

Wuyan of Nanzhao and Dingzhe of Tubo were both very excited, and the soul formations they had set up also felt the fluctuations.

"The reincarnation of the Holy Observation Buddha must be in Yulong Country, or even in Daming Prefecture." Jia Luo made the final decision, "We must report to His Majesty the Yulong Country and find the Holy Observation Buddha as soon as possible."

Matsushita had something to hide, so he could only nod his head seriously.

They are foreign national masters and envoys. Without the permission of His Majesty the Yulong Kingdom, they are not allowed to wander around in Yulong Kingdom.

The Ministry of Rites was a little anxious because the person sent to Huguo Temple to invite Living Buddha Yuanji had not returned yet.

Zhou Shaoyu glanced at them calmly and said, "Since they are here to pay a visit, they should follow the host's wishes. Can they see Living Buddha Yuanji whenever they want?"

Xie Zhaozhao also glanced at them lightly, and Lord Liu, the Minister of Rites, broke into a sweat.

Your Majesty's contempt is as real as the truth, and he only needs to say: What are you afraid of? At worst, I will either incorporate them into my territory or turn them into vassal states!
