Alien King

Chapter 134 Dajue Nantian Temple

If there is no accident, the 100 royal bonds with a denomination of 100 taels will be sold out by noon, and the Royal Bank will have [-] million taels in the account at once.For the Royal Household Office, whose financial situation is once again stretched, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

The emperor also had a smile on his face. After all, this is also the property of the royal family. When it comes to the root, isn't it the emperor's own money?Ye Tian was just serving him.

The opening ceremony was over, and the common people lined up one by one. The emperor even saw many family members of officials who went to the morning court every day in the long line.

Smiling slightly, he was even more satisfied with Ye Tian's plan for the opening and operation of the Royal Bank.The emperor laughed and scolded inwardly: This Ye Qing was a craftsman, but he became a herbalist; I really don't know how many strange things are still in his head.

Thinking of this, the emperor said to Chu Yue and Chu Yu beside him, "I'm so bored in the palace that I'm about to get moldy, I've long wanted to come out to get some air."

Speaking of this, the emperor looked at Chu Yu, smiled and continued: "Your sister, like me, stays in the palace all year round and rarely comes out. You often play outside. Today you brought me and your sister , let’s have a good time in the capital and have fun.”

Hearing the emperor's words, Chu Yu clapped her hands excitedly, and said, "No problem, father and sister will follow me today, and I promise to make your trip worthwhile."

The emperor frowned deliberately, and said: "I am traveling in a low-clothes, so I must not call you the emperor father anymore. Just call me master."

Chu Yu smiled, bowed a big bow, deliberately dragged out a long voice, and said, "Got it, lord~!"

The emperor laughed, and looked at the pair of children and sisters in front of him with relief.In the deep palace for many years, it has been a long time since I have been so happy as today.

After Chu Yu finished speaking, she took the emperor's arm with one hand and Chu Yue's with the other, and walked out.

Zhao Zhentian, the commander of the inner bodyguards, did not dare to lose a single step. He led five or six bodyguards and closely followed Chu Hong, father and daughter.Seeing that Chu Hong and the others were about to leave the gate of the Royal Bank, Zhao Zhentian took a few steps, approached Chu Hong, and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are too many people outside, and there are not enough ministers, should we let Si Wei follow. "

Chu Hong frowned. He finally managed to go shopping with his own daughter like an ordinary person. What he feared most was the ghosts from the Military Academy.

Usually, when there are important ceremonial occasions, the guard of the Central Intelligence Department of the Military Affairs Council will expel all irrelevant personnel within a few hundred meters around the place where the emperor appears in advance to ensure safety.

It's not that Chu Hong disagrees with such an approach. After all, the guard of the Military Affairs Academy is doing his duty.But every time it was like this, the emperor couldn't see the slightest bit of fireworks in the world, and he was always in a high position. After a long time, the emperor couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness in the high place.

At this moment, looking at the crowds of people, discussing, whispering, laughing and scolding the street scene in front of him, Chu Hong felt a sense of satisfaction, comfort and even a sense of accomplishment from the bottom of his heart.

These ordinary people are all his people.

As an emperor, his greatest achievement is to let the people in front of him live and work in peace and contentment, and to make this country peaceful, singing and dancing, and prosperous.

At this moment, Chu Hong was really tired of the lonely days in the deep palace. It would be a joyful thing if he could take a stroll in the capital every day.

Even if there is danger, Chu Hong at this time is unwilling to give up this hard-won opportunity to go shopping alone with his two daughters.

Looking at Zhao Zhentian, Chu Hong shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "Don't disturb Si Wei, just take your few people with you and follow from afar."

Zhao Zhentian was startled and frowned.

The emperor's move was really full of great danger.Without the protection of the guards, just relying on these few big inner guards, if it is an ordinary mage and warrior, it is okay to say, once they meet a high-level mage and warrior, the emperor's safety will be extremely uncontrollable.

Even though this was in the capital, Zhao Zhentian's status determined that he could not ignore any small mistakes.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhentian said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, forgive me for resisting and disobeying the order. The Emperor is not the Emperor of a single person, but the Emperor of the people of the empire. The safety of the Emperor is not only related to the royal family, but also to the entire empire. Anwen. Therefore, I implore the emperor to allow Siwei to follow."

The emperor was so angry that his teeth were itching. This Commander Zhao is really pissed, and he can't let me really relax like an ordinary person.

Turning his head, the emperor looked at Zhao Zhentian and said, "Look at my attire, does anyone recognize me? Commander Zhao, I really want to live a day as an ordinary commoner. Can't even your little wishes be fulfilled?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Zhao Zhentian was speechless.Zhao Zhentian has been with you for many years, and it's not that he doesn't know the truth of being too cold at a high place.He understood that the emperor finally left the palace today and was with his two daughters again. This is a very common thing for ordinary families, but it is extremely extravagant for the emperor.

How could the emperor let go of such a precious opportunity.

Zhao Zhentian remained silent, but Chu Yue beside him said, "Commander Zhao, don't worry, my sister and I will protect the emperor well."

Hearing Chu Yue's words, the emperor laughed, looked at Chu Yue and said, "Look, my dear daughter is so caring, she knows how to protect me."

Zhao Zhentian raised his head, and saw Chu Yue's deep and dark eyes with an extremely intense scorching heat.In the deepest part of those eyes, there seemed to be a lava crater about to erupt.

Shocked, Zhao Zhentian hurriedly lowered his head, replacing his attitude with silence.

Seeing that Zhao Zhentian didn't speak, the emperor said again: "Silence means agreement, then let's go."

A group of people leisurely strolled along the main road and the street.Zhao Zhentian followed with a few guards from a distance.Although this was not the first time that he went out of the palace with the emperor, it was the most stressful time for Zhao Zhentian.

Behind them, the gate of the Royal Bank was still crowded with people.On the first day of opening, there must be many things. The busy figures of Ye Tian, ​​Dai Ni and Mei Rou flashed outside the gate of the Royal Bank from time to time.

The three of them, Chu Hong, Chu Yue, and Chu Yu, visited several antique shops along the Zijin Avenue, and went to the Monument of Heroes to watch martial arts juggling. When passing by Flower Street, Chu Yu specially asked Chu Hong to go under the pavilion of Xiangyan Square, He looked up at the kabuki and actors who were flirting on the balcony.

Along the way, Chu Hong, who lived in the deep palace for a long time, just felt that his eyes were opened.In the past, I always heard from the ministers about what kind of shop opened in the capital, a few Jiangnan girls came to the square building, and a new batch of martial arts scrolls were placed on the hero monument.But listening is always listening, and there is no truth that seeing is believing.Although all the day-to-day arrangements and approvals were made to determine major national affairs, Chu Hong was not very familiar with the specific life forms in the market.

Under Chu Yu's leadership, the three ate candied haws in Wusi Hutong, and went to Moon Street to eat grilled shark's fin.When I walked to Liujin Street, I went to Sihailou to eat the signature dish braised snow chicken.After the three were not full, they went to Fifth Avenue and asked for a secret smoked leg of lamb.

For the various snacks introduced by Chu Yu, Chu Hong only felt that his appetite was whetted. Although these snacks were not in large quantities, they tasted much more fragrant than the imperial meals in the palace.

After eating the snacks, the three talked and laughed, and came to a temple at the end of Fifth Avenue.

Although the temple occupies a small area, with yellow walls and gray roofs, wide doors and high beams, it has a certain momentum at first glance.

Chu Hong pointed to the temple and said, "What kind of temple is this?"

"Father, ah, my lord, this temple is called Dajue Nantian Temple, and it was opened by monks from the Inca Empire. They usually just rely on praying for Buddha and drawing lots to earn some incense money to make ends meet," Chu Yu said.

Chu Hong nodded: "What is there to say about the temple opened by the Incas?"

The eldest princess Chu Yue said with a smile at this time: "According to the folklore, the temples of the Incas are very effective, especially in terms of promotion and wealth, which is difficult for Taoism and Confucianism."

Hearing Chu Yue's words, Chu Hong's interest greatly increased, and he said, "Oh? Is that true? Then I have to figure it out. How long will my official career last?"

A group of three entered the gate of Dajue Nantian Temple.

Zhao Zhentian immediately arranged for several big internal guards to stand outside the courtyard wall of the temple.And Zhao Zhentian himself stood guard at the gate.

Zhao Zhentian had also been to this temple before. According to his observation and memory, although the Dajue Nantian Temple was opened by the Incas, it has always done its duty and never violated the laws of the empire.

On this point, Zhao Zhentian was quite relieved.

At this time, after Chu Hong and the others entered the gate of the temple, they came to a large courtyard.

A few monks were cleaning the blue bricks on the ground not far away. In the middle of the courtyard was a steel incense burner with a height of six feet, which was emitting thick incense smoke.

Although the temple is not big, it reveals an aura of smoky water and lush greenery, kindness and kindness everywhere.

Chu Hong smiled, and was very satisfied with the transcendent Buddhist style displayed by this temple.

Seeing three people enter the yard, a skinny bald monk with a black face came out of the hall directly in front of the steel censer.

The monk greeted Chu Hong, and said, "Three benefactors, offering incense, praying to Buddha, or drawing lots?"

Chu Hong smiled lightly and said, "Of course it's a lottery."

The black-faced monk stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and Chu Hong and others followed the black-faced monk into the central hall.
