Huifeng Pagoda is also called Leifeng Pagoda, and Leifeng Xizhao is one of the beautiful scenery of West Lake, and the Xizhao Temple next to Leifeng Pagoda is also very popular because of this.

Since you want to visit Leifeng Pagoda, how can you miss the pilgrims of Xizhao Temple?Ding Li and Fang Yang led Zhao Yuan to Xizhao Temple.It's just around noon, and you can still have a vegetarian meal at Xizhao Temple.

The Zhike monk's eyesight is not bad, although Ding Li and the other three are dressed like ordinary rich children, but the attendants and guards behind them are all extraordinary.If the servant is like this, then the master will naturally not be really ordinary.

Therefore, on this side, the three people were led to the wing room prepared for the distinguished guests, and on the other side, a young monk was sent to run errands to report to the abbot.

The three of them had a vegetarian meal in a Zen-like scenery.Ding Li took a few mouthfuls and then stopped—he had been fed by Fang Yang for a few lifetimes, and these were already considered delicious delicacies in the eyes of ordinary people, but they were not so good in Ding Li's mouth.

Fang Yang saw that Ding Li hadn't eaten, so he called for the attendants who followed him, and put out a few plates of cakes that he had prepared before.

When Zhao Yuan saw this, his eyes straightened.He put down the bowls and chopsticks, and turned to look at his brother Huang and brother Liang pitifully, hoping that they would be merciful and give him a few yuan to taste.It's not that he's worthless, it's that Brother Huang prepared some delicious food for Brother Liang!

Ding Li saw Zhao Yuan's eager eyes, and pushed the dessert plate to him with a bit of love for the younger generation.Fang Yang secretly glared at Zhao Yuan, but finally remained silent.Anyway, he no longer blocked Ding Li's face from rubbing Zhao Yuan, otherwise Ding Li would definitely have a bad mood for him all day long.

When the food was almost finished, Fang Yang led Zhao Yuan around the temple to digest food.At this time, the abbot who had been waiting for a long time to "encounter" with these three nobles came out.

A monk dressed in a cassock of Buddha's light, with white beard and hair, walked over and recited the Buddha's name first: "Amitabha, the three benefactors are polite."

Zhao Yuan originally wanted to put his palms together to return the salute, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw that Brother Huang and Brother Liang both bowed their hands to return the salute, so he followed suit.

The abbot of Xizhao Temple's dharma name will be empty, seeing that the three young men are returning the salute with worldly etiquette, which is probably the first time he has encountered such a situation, he was slightly taken aback.But for a monk who can achieve the position of abbot, how can his professionalism be comparable to that of ordinary monks?

He quickly adjusted his mentality and expression: "Little benefactor has a good face!"

"Well, I also think I look good, thank you for the compliment." Fang Yang accepted Hui Kong's compliments without any humility.

It was the first time that Huikong, who had practiced for many years, encountered such a person who didn't follow the routine at all, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Ding Li saw that Fang Yang teased an old monk like this, it was really not decent, so he said: "Master invited me, I can't wait for the people in the world, and I can't be praised by the master. My friend is always surly, not a trustworthy person." , the master wants to save him, but it is very difficult. I have offended him so much, I will take my leave."

Hey, I'm going!Don't give people a chance at all! "The benefactor is joking, the Buddha is in his heart. If you can come to my temple, you can see that there is a Buddha in your heart. The old monk can talk with a few benefactors here, which shows that there is a destiny." Seeing that Ding Li and the three of them were about to leave, they met Kong was a little anxious, and the words in his mouth were not as cloudy as before.

Ding Li didn't answer, turned around and left, Fang Yang left side by side with him.Zhao Yuan glanced back at the monk who wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by the guards, and hurriedly chased Ding Li and Fang Yang away.

When everyone went up to the Leifeng Pagoda and there was no one around, Zhao Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "I see that Brother Huang and Brother Liang seem to be quite disdainful of Buddhism? I saw Brother Huang and Brother Liang treat Taoism the same way before, and I thought You two have more respect for Buddhism."

"It's not disdain, it's just disbelief. Religion is good for attracting people to be good, but there are also many disadvantages in religion, just like chronic diseases, which are annoying." Ding Li looked at the beautiful scenery of West Lake and explained.

Fang Yang went on to say: "Do you know how many monasteries and Taoist temples there are in the country today? How many monks and nuns are registered? How much land do they occupy? How much money is collected every year but never pays taxes? , Since silver is cheap and copper is expensive, look at the statues, how many catties of gold, silver, copper, and jade are made of? When you figure this out, you will know why you and I don’t like it or believe it.”

Ding Li felt that what Fang Yang said was too much, so he hurriedly added: "Of course, what is said in the scriptures and scriptures is still true. You can disbelieve it or dislike it, but you shouldn't discard it all. It seems to attract people. If you want to be kind, make more use of it, and it will also benefit the hearts of the people."

This is the end of the topic of belief in Buddhism and Taoism. The young Zhao Yuan left such a shallow mark in his heart.Later, after studying history books, I understood: teaching, whether it can be used or not.

One year passed in a blink of an eye, in May of the tenth year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu tore up the peace treaty that had been established for less than a year, and sent troops south.

Yue Fei had made preparations as early as the past year. Last year, he resigned from the official position of Kaifu Yitong, which was bestowed by the emperor, and secretly mobilized his troops.Now that the Jin army is mobilized, Yue Fei dispatches troops to break the siege of Shunchang first, and then capture Caizhou and Chenzhou.In July, Zhengzhou, Xijing Luoyang, Haizhou, and Haozhou had all been reintroduced into the territory of the Song Dynasty.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, Jin Bing showed his defeat.But Qin Hui had secretly planned to make Yue Fei withdraw his army. At the court meeting, he joined forces with Zhang Jun, Yang Yi and Luo Ru to write a letter, asking the emperor to call Yue Fei to withdraw his army.

The emperor was undecided, and for a moment he remembered what Fang Yang said at the beginning, if he could go straight to Huanglong, he would not obstruct him; he also heard Qin Hui's words that "there are few soldiers and few generals, and the people are poor and the country is exhausted"; How should I deal with myself?For a while, my thoughts turned in vain.

"Wei Guogong is here! Jianguo Gong is here! Tongzhilang Liang Liangong is here to see you!"

While the emperor was hesitating, there was a roll call.Then Fang Yang was in front, followed by Zhao Yuan, and through Liang Lian, the three of them entered the hall.

After saluting, Fang Yang cupped his hands and said nothing nonsense: "Father, do you still remember what you promised my son and minister that day? If you can go straight to Huanglong, don't stop it. My father's worries are well known to my son, but if I can let him go Wouldn’t the shame of Jingkang and the hatred of the old coin be called a minister be a great kindness? At that time, the father, the emperor, will be so majestic, so what is there to be afraid of?”

This last sentence directly pointed to the secret in the emperor's heart.The emperor was also shocked when he heard this: Yes, if he regains the country first, and then avenges his ancestors, then why should he be afraid of the return of the emperor's brother?Thinking about it this way, the emperor's expression became straight.

Seeing the change in the emperor's expression, Qin Hui cried out inwardly.He has come to peace with himself, and he has a close relationship with Wushu, the leader of the Jin Kingdom.If the Kingdom of Jin collapsed, how could the court have a place of its own?He hurriedly cupped his hands and wanted to play again.

But before he opened his mouth, there was a chill on his neck: a short dagger was pressed against his neck!

"Bold Liang Lian, dare to commit murder in the Golden Palace!" Zhang Jun scolded.

"Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a career. Don't miss it! Why are you hesitating, Father?" Fang Yang urged the emperor.

"Decree to the Privy Council to fully support Yue Qing in cutting gold, and order the three divisions to cooperate." It was a simple sentence, but it was difficult for the emperor to say it.This is a gamble, with the only half of the Song Dynasty left at this time.If you win the bet, you will achieve great success in opening up the frontier, if you lose...the country will be ruined and your family will perish!

"Long live my emperor!" Fang Yangshan shouted.

"Retreat!"

After the emperor left, Liang Dingbang held his chest and leaned against the pillars in the Golden Palace and began to gasp: Fortunately, the emperor didn't pursue the matter of Lian'er carrying a sharp weapon in the Golden Palace just now!

"Wei State Police."

"Wei State Police."

"Wei State Police."

At the stall where Liang Dingbang was panting, everyone in the court came forward to greet Fang Yang.

Ding Li put away the dagger after the emperor retired, and stood not far behind Fang Yang. Liang Dingbang felt that this was completely different from Lian'er, who usually surrounded him with a quiet voice.

It was the first time that Qin Hui was treated like this since he became prime minister.It's just that the identity of this person is not as simple as Tong Zhilang. Behind him stands Liang Xiangguo, who is full of old students and old students, which he cannot pry.

Censor Gu Zong has always been dissatisfied with Liang Dingbang's domineering, but he is also a staunch main fighter.Seeing Ding Li's actions now, and seeing Liang Xiangguo gasping for breath while holding on to the pillar, he went up to talk to Liang Dingbang: "Xiangguo, your son is really better than blue than blue. Xiangguo is very lucky to have this phoenix chick."

Liang Dingbang was surprised at the beginning that Gu Zong, the little censor who had always been at odds with him, even praised himself. After hearing it, he realized that this was not only a compliment for raising a good son, but also scolding himself for not cultivating virtue!

"Qin Pushe, you don't have to stare at me." Ding Li looked at Qin Hui's triangular eyes with a half-smile and said, "When the Jin people are driven back to Liaodong, your good days will come to an end!"

When Ding Li said this, he also used the power of Corpse Fragrance Konjac.When the words fell to the ground, beads of sweat began to ooze from Qin Hui's forehead, his complexion was as golden as paper, his whole body was trembling like chaff, and he couldn't even stand firmly. Fortunately, Zhang Jun supported Qin Hui.

The "Prince" has shown his attitude, and all the officials in the court who have a little ambition will naturally not want to drift away from Yue Fei and other ministries of the Northern Expedition under such circumstances.

It's just that there are still Qin Hui's faction leaders and people who are pro-gold neglect their duties, so that some food, grass and military equipment can't keep up with the speed of the army.

Without further ado, Ding Li sent people to Suzhou to find Xiaoqing, who was working as a medicine boy in the security hall.Overnight, the food and payment were transported to the barracks.

After Xiaoqing returned to Lin'an and returned to Ding Li, he could not help complaining a few words: "You let me carry food for one night, which cost me a lot of knowledge. It's so unreasonable! If you know this, why don't I go to Suzhou for Mr. Xu?" Wait three years!"

"The cause and effect of the 3000 Liang treasury silver case ends here. I will let Wei Guogong order to end Xu Xian's control early." Ding Li gave Xiaoqing a sweet date.

"We even opened the pharmacy, now you say that the control is over, can we move the pharmacy?" Xiaoqing said angrily.She didn't understand why her sister insisted on asking her to work for Duke Wei to make amends.But after spending so much, I had to get rid of the restraint like a chicken rib, which felt like a loss.

"Oh, then Wei Guogong saves trouble. Since you are not happy, then continue to discipline! Anyway, discipline will end next year."

"Hey! How can you go back on your word? If you say you want to get rid of the control, you will get rid of it!" Food and other things have been moved. If there is no benefit, it will be even worse!

Seeing that Xiaoqing was in a hurry, Ding Li accepted the joke, and gave Xiaoqing a handwritten letter to release restraint, and then took out a brocade silk: "This is for you."

"What is this?" Xiaoqing unfolded the brocade and took a look, and saw a bunch of things she couldn't understand written on it. It's just that the apricot yellow fabric is so beautiful, and there is a square on it. The big red seal.Xiaoqing saw the printed words "The Treasure of Cheng Tian's Destiny", and suddenly felt a sharp pain in her eyes, she quickly closed her eyes, but the tears still flowed down uncontrollably.

She blinked and looked at Ding Li: "What the hell is this?"

"It's an oracle. After all, you used supernatural powers to move the food and grass. God knows whether the heavens will punish you, so he let the emperor print a decree. If any Dingjia God will see it, he will You will not be punished for violating any regulations."

Xiaoqing was quite angry at first, but when she heard that it was because of this, the original anger on her face immediately disappeared, and she changed into a smiling face: "Thank you! I don't know your name yet?"

Ding Li shook his head, and was about to say that his name was Liang Lian, when Fang Yang came in: "Are you ready?"

When he saw the handwriting and the holy edict in Xiaoqing's hand, he said directly: "Since Miss Qing has redeemed her previous crimes, she should go home as soon as possible! I think my other sister, Miss Bai, should also be worried."

No matter how unreasonable Xiaoqing was, she could still hear the meaning of seeing off guests in Fang Yang's words.She made a grimace at Fang Yang, then waved at Ding Li, and turned into a green rainbow and left.

"You should be more careful." Fang Yang said to Ding Li with a serious expression after watching Xiao Qing leave.

"Pay attention to what?" Ding Li looked at Fang Yang strangely.After thinking about it carefully, he understood what it meant, "Xiaoqing is straightforward, I treat her like a little sister."

"I believe you, but I don't believe her! A white snake that is tempted by mortal hearts, and a green snake that will be tempted by mortal hearts sooner or later, who knows if the green snake will take a fancy to you?"

"Me? Do I have someone that the gods love, and you are the only one who doesn't despise me." Ding Li shook his head.In fact, he never understood why Fang Yang took a fancy to him?He also looks like he is quite related to himself.But it's clear that I don't know him!

Sometimes Ding Li is even afraid, whether Fang Yang has admitted the wrong person.If at the beginning he just wanted to appease his parents, so he found someone who obviously loved him, after so many worlds, it would be impossible for him not to be moved!

His emotion is not the kind that erupts like a mountain torrent, but the emotion that slowly accumulates during his relationship with Fang Yang.Now he sometimes worries about gain and loss unconsciously, even he himself feels ashamed.

But at least for now, he is very relieved to see Fang Yang eating vinegar at every turn.

-

In December, just as the news of Jin Wushu's victory over the Yellow River with the remnant soldiers came, and the court was extremely happy, a sudden epidemic in Suzhou cast a shadow over the celebration.

The emperor was worried about the safety of the people in Suzhou, but Ding Li and Fang Yang knew that this was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.Sure enough, within a month, the epidemic in Suzhou was over.

After Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were reminded by Ding Li and Fang Yang to pay attention to the laws of the world, they did not hide the fact that someone was poisoned, but told the truth to the guards who came to investigate.It's just that the Taoist priest Wang Daoling who poisoned him has long since disappeared, and there is no real evidence to arrest him, so he can only ignore him for the time being.

"The monster is so hateful, he actually did the evil thing of poisoning in the well, and then sold the antidote to make money! He should be killed!" After the emperor knew about this, he ordered the Suzhou government to investigate this person, and then turned his attention to the great victory of the Northern Expedition.

At this time, all the fertile soil in the Central Plains that had been occupied by the Jin people for many years had already been returned to Song Shou. Although there were still a few places where the remnants of the Jin Kingdom were still resisting, it was just a case of ringworm.It's a pity that Qinzong's family was still carried away by Jin Bing and failed to return to their homeland this time.

It was at this time that Fang Yang proposed moving the capital in a conversation with the emperor.

Moving the capital is not a trivial matter, not to mention costing the state money, but also using a lot of manpower and material resources.However, Fang Yang's words still have some truth. Now that the old place of the Central Plains has been recovered, how can the capital of the Great Song Dynasty be in the dark in Lin'an?

Sooner or later, the capital will be moved, and some things should indeed be prepared in advance.So the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and other departments began to get busy.The first thing to do is to determine where the capital will be located.
