The world of rebirth

Wenzhen went to naturalization this time, in addition to his personal conquest to deal with the big merchants, he also had another important task to show kindness to the people outside the Great Wall.Before he set off, he had already discussed several policies with the elders in order to win the hearts of the people outside the Great Wall. After all, this place is too close to the big merchants. If these brave fighters are forced to the side of the big merchants, it will be difficult It is a huge loss for the court.

After entering the city, he first entered the Dutong Mansion to listen to the recent battle reports near Guihua City. Wen Zhen did not immediately order to pursue Meng or, but let the army and the defenders rest first. I understand, and on such a huge grassland, if there is not enough troops to form an encirclement, it is impossible to intercept the more than 3 cavalry who come and go like the wind.

Wen Zhen originally had a more important task, which was to meet the leaders of the grassland tribes, appease and frighten them, and prevent these people from tending to big businessmen. However, although the holy driver has arrived, these leaders have not arrived yet.

The tribes in the prairie either intermarried or hated each other. After living together on this prairie for so many years, they were more or less related to Da Shang's tribe.Seeing that Guihua was besieged before, many people fell into hesitation and did not rush to rescue, but now they have lost the opportunity.

When receiving officials in the Dutong Mansion, there were two people sitting next to Wen Zhen, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was naturally the second most noble prince in the world, and the one on the right was Ning Yunjin.

These two young people have fresh and handsome looks, and their whole bodies reveal nobility and elegance. The smile of the prince on the left is cold and majestic, while the smile of Ning Yunjin on the right is like a spring breeze blowing on his face. Like a golden boy, it makes people feel ashamed.

However, it is normal for the crown prince to sit beside the emperor. What is it called for a minister to have such an honor to sit beside the emperor? Therefore, when he looked at Ning Yunjin, he always looked at Ning Yunjin, until he knew that he was the greatest hero in this war. That look gradually turned into worship.

A heaven worshiper, a Sanyuan with both civil and military skills, and a wise general who can win more with less, such things are already legendary in one person, but now they are gathered in a boy who is only 14 years old. Such an achievement Immediately, it made people feel that no matter how preferential treatment he was, it would not be too much.

No matter how thick-skinned Ning Yunjin was, he still felt that it was a big deal to be looked at like this all the time. After dinner, he would never attend the meeting with Wenzhen again.

Wen Zhen felt a little disappointed when he saw that he would rather hide in the tent and study the piece of jade than accompany him, but he didn't want to force him, so he left Ning Yunjin alone.

Fortunately, there are not many people in Guihua City worthy of Wenzhen's summoning one by one, half a day is enough time.On the second day, Wen Zhen took his entourage to visit the most famous Silver Buddha Temple in Guihua City.

The highest status on the grassland has always been not the leaders of various ministries, or Wen Zhen, the Heavenly Khan, but the Living Buddha of Lamaism.Since almost everyone on the grassland believed in religion, there were several temples in Guihua City alone, and the earliest one was built here.

People in the grasslands of Yinfo Temple call it Dazhao, and the Chinese name is named because the statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the temple is made of pure silver.Wenzhen chose this place as his first stop because there is a living Buddha Tuktu in the temple.

If it were Ning Yunjin before, he might still not be able to see through Wen Zhen's intentions, but now his political acumen level is much higher, and he guessed the mystery with just a little turn of his head.

Now the most influential people on the entire grassland are three people. Except for Bi Canglang, the great master, the other two are lamas, and one of them is Tuketu.

Originally, during the last battle with the Fengwu tribe, Wen Zhen had sent someone to contact King Kegula II for propaganda in order to gain religious advantages, but in the end the living Buddha betrayed Daxia and turned to favor Yu Dashang.After that, Wenzhen could only contact Tuketu, who was naturalized, and gave him a series of preferential treatment, which made Tuketu completely fall to Daxia, and once went to the north to preach Buddhism in person, which was very popular. Wen Zhen's praise.

Now that the war with Dashang is rekindled, this Living Buddha is naturally the one who needs to win over vigorously.

This living Buddha is also a very knowledgable person. As early as he knew that Wenzhen was going to be naturalized in person, he asked the temple to start preparing for a grand chanting ceremony.The speed of Luanjia’s progress is arranged, so we have already received the arrival time of Wenzhen. At that time, some people said that Shengjia might be delayed because of the Mongolian or siege. They wanted to postpone the puja, but Tuketu refused. Yes, but now it's just right.

Before arriving at the Silver Buddha Temple, Wen Zhen issued preferential treatment measures for the grasslands overnight, including exemption from taxation and labor for six years to offset the military disaster. These good news have spread in just one morning, and there are many people along the way. Few people will bow down when they see his ceremonial guards, saying that he has great kindness.

Wen Zhen was somewhat complacent at first, and even recited an impromptu poem for Hong Ming and Ning Yunjin, his two attendants, and other civil and military ministers to taste, but after arriving at the Silver Buddha Temple, his expression changed It became gloomy.

Without going to the temple in person, there is no way to imagine the piety of the herdsmen through words, let alone understand those believers who traveled across mountains and rivers to see the Living Buddha.

Although it is not a grand Buddhist festival, many believers came here today because a siege had just been eliminated.So a few miles away from the temple, you can see those pious people, regardless of men, women, old or young, all worshiping three times and nine times.

When he arrived in the temple, Tuketu was already sitting on his special card mat, reciting scriptures.When those believers were led to him in an orderly manner by the lamas, and offered cassocks, pads and other gifts one after another, he stretched out his hand to bless these kneeling worshipers.The believers who received the blessings left in an orderly manner. The happiness on their faces and the admiration for the lamas all reflected the lofty status of the Living Buddha among the herdsmen.

No matter which ruler sees such a scene, he will not be happy. Who would think that China will appear in his own territory?Although Wen Zhen forced a smile when Tuktu stopped meeting Xinmin and entertained them instead, Ning Yunjin and the prince clearly saw the haze in his eyes.

Wen Zhen and his party will stay in Yinfo Temple for three days. The arrangement on the first day is to burn incense and worship Buddha in various temples accompanied by Tuktu. The second day is a grand puja. Discuss government affairs.

As one of Wenzhen's escorts, Ning Yunjin couldn't escape the task of going to pay homage to the Buddha.But when he thought of kneeling down in temples one by one, he felt weak in his legs and feet, so he interjected and asked for instructions while Wen Zhen was talking to Tuktu, "Your Majesty, those who worship the heavens only kneel to heaven, earth, relatives and teachers, you see ..."

As soon as Ning Yunjin's tail was raised, Wenzhen knew what he was going to do. Although there was a saying, he never said that he could not kneel when he met the Buddha.But this kid wanted to be lazy, now is the time for the two of them to be gentle and carefree, how could Wen Zhen refuse, so he looked at Tuktu in embarrassment, "Master, this is really unfortunate..."

Tuketu is an old man with a round face. His figure is not considered tall in the north, and with his fat body, he looks like that kind of simple and honest blessing.But this one is absolutely duplicity, even though he is a little dissatisfied, but there is still a smile on his face, "Naturally, naturally, understandable. The worshiper is the messenger of the sky, even the Buddha can forgive him for his past." I don't worship."

Under Hongming's envious eyes, Ning Yunjin went back to the guest room prepared for him by Yinfo Temple to rest, and did not follow Wenzhen and the others. After all, it is not good for him to stand alone when the hall is full of kneeling.

When he returned to the room, Ning Yunjin couldn't read the book either, he took out Yuhuang and played with it for a while, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.These days, he has been practicing with Wen Zhen, and now there is only one person. Even with the assistance of Yu Huang, Ning Yunjin suddenly felt that he suddenly entered the urban area with traffic jams from the expressway. The feeling of not being able to run for twenty yards suddenly made him so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Fortunately, Ning Yunjin is also determined. He knows that it is okay to be outside the palace now. Even if he enters and exits with Wen Zhen, it is not too conspicuous, but when he returns to Beijing, he must restrain himself. To get used to this feeling.Abandoning the dependence in his heart, he forced himself to meditate.

The time of this meditation passed without knowing it. Wen Zhen and his party hadn't come back at dinner, Ning Yunjin ate some vegetarian food from the temple, punched a set of fists in the room, and continued settled down.On the second day of the week, Ning Yunjin felt someone came into the room, but the familiar aura made him guess who it was, so he didn't even open his eyes, and took care of the person. Completed in one week.

Seeing that Ning Yunjin started to finish work, Wen Zhen put down the booklet in his hand, looked at him and said, "Why don't you wait for me to come with you?"

Ning Yunjin curled his lips and said, "Who knows when you will get it. This is the largest naturalized temple!"

Seeing that he was becoming more and more polite to him, Wen Zhen smiled a little relieved, with this kid's courage, he was afraid that one day he would climb on his head and act wildly, but he would not feel lonely and boring by then.He smiled, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Naturally, I've used it. I'm Tian Khan's chauffeur, how can those lamas be negligent." Ning Yunjin laughed and asked which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, "How is it? I have seen the majesty of the Living Buddha with my own eyes. Have you been a little stimulated?"

Wen Zhen sighed, "Although I have been mentally prepared, after the real experience, it is inevitable that some... Forget it, let's not mention these, let's practice!"

After all, without Jia Baoyu's romantic temperament, in such a Buddhist holy place, even if neither of them believed in religion, it would be difficult for them to do anything inappropriate, so they just sat on the bed and purely practiced kung fu.

Wenzhen left Ning Yunjin's room after staying until Zichu. Tomorrow morning, there will be a big ceremony for chanting sutras, and he has to get up early to get dressed—it will take a lot of time to put on the emperor's tens of kilograms of outfit .

Director Li really has a pair of eyes that can see into Wenzhen's heart. Just by looking at the emperor's expression, he knows that the emperor has got his wish.Wen Zhen didn't need to mention anything, so he took the initiative to appoint two young eunuchs to serve Ning Yunjin.

Early the next morning, Ning Yunjin had just walked out of the room in his red official uniform, when he saw Hong Ming in the new prince's uniform standing with his hands behind his back in the corridor.

Ning Yunjin was made a little nervous by Hong Ming's scrutiny, but he saw that he waved away his left and right followers, and walked slowly in front of him.

Hong Ming glanced up and down at Ning Yunjin, and then said in a voice so sweet and quiet that it made people tremble, "I saw it!"

"..." Ning Yunjin squinted his eyes, then quickly retracted his expression and returned to a respectful expression of "I don't understand what you're talking about", "What is His Highness the Crown Prince talking about?"

"Father quietly entered your room last night." Hong Ming lifted Ning Yunjin's chin with his index finger, and said arrogantly, "You have a good appearance, no wonder you can confuse father."

Resisting the urge to slap this kid away with his palm, Ning Yunjin blinked obediently, "His Royal Highness, be careful. The emperor just talked to my minister yesterday, not what you think." He wanted to take a look. What does the prince brother want to do!

"Gu is not a three-year-old child. If it is just to talk about things, does the emperor need to sneak into your room like a thief?" Hong Ming stayed in the yard for a while last night just because he was bored. , but happened to see the scene where Wenzhen descended from the eaves and entered Ning Yunjin's room. After calculation, it took nearly an hour and a half for his father to leave with a red face and a happy expression.

He is not immature either, although he has not broken Yuanyang yet, he has already been taught about Dun Lun by the palace servants, so he thinks he has guessed the real reason why Wenzhen treats Ning Yunjin preferentially.

Seeing that Ning Yunjin didn't speak, Hong Ming put down his hands, and said with a straight face, "Gu is not the father, even if you act like a pity for others, you won't feel sorry for Gu."

Ning Yunjin was deeply saddened by the look in the eyes of the prince's younger brother. He was obviously just showing off his cuteness, so I felt pity for anything!

Seeing that he remained silent, Hong Ming felt that he had guessed the truth—although it was not the truth of last night, it was only a matter of time.He said with a bit of hatred, "You are not incompetent, even if you are lonely, you have to admit a lot... well, there are some things that are inferior to you. How could you be so despicable to do that flattering thing?" !"

Ning Yunjin's face darkened immediately, and he ruthlessly put this account on Wen Zhen's head.But after agreeing to be with Wen Zhen, such an insult will happen sooner or later, and he has long been mentally prepared.He just sneered and smeared Wen Zhen unceremoniously, "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Does it mean that the minister still has a choice!?"

Hearing what Ning Yunjin said, Hong Ming was immediately confused.In his heart, his father is almost omnipotent, and he has been paying attention to Ning Yunjin since he was a child. The two of them grew up together and naturally knew that although this person has been loved by his father all these years, he must never be summoned by his father. If you don't take the initiative to enter the palace, even after the great achievement of saving your family, you still try to stay as far away from the palace as possible.

Because of this, even though he felt that his father cared too much for this kid, he felt envious and jealous, but it was difficult to find the reason for the attack.Hong Ming originally had very complicated feelings for Ning Yunjin, but now that he heard that he was persecuted by his father, he felt a little bit of sympathy and regret.

"You... don't you know how to resist?" Hong Ming squeezed his fingers in frustration, "You literati are so strong!"

The emotion in his eyes naturally couldn't be concealed from Ning Yunjin. He always thought that the prince hated him, but he didn't expect to show such an expression for himself, and suddenly he felt teasing.Ning Yunjin covered his face, and wept bitterly, "Although I die alone, it's not a pity to die, but my family...they are innocent!"

"Impossible..." Hong Ming widened his eyes in disbelief, "Father can't be that kind of person." Even though he said that, he did not doubt the authenticity of Ning Yunjin's words. If the heavenly beings had not been persecuted, they would never want to bow down to human beings.

Ning Yunjin just looked at him innocently, and if he looked carefully, there were still tears in his eyes that he had just forced out.

Being stared at by such a pair of eyes full of water, Hong Ming only felt that his mood was extraordinarily complicated, he clenched his fists for a while and was speechless.That kind of feeling is like the goal that has been chasing for a long time, suddenly deviated from the established track, and became a passerby in a parallel world. The sense of gap is simply unbearable for Hong Ming.

However, after all, his mentality is higher than that of a boy of the same age, so he quickly restrained his emotions and turned his thoughts to his purpose of coming.Originally, he wanted to threaten and humiliate this person, but now it seems that he only needs to adjust his plan to win him over, not afraid that this person will be disobedient.

Hong Ming knew his biggest weakness early on, which was the lack of support in the harem. Without his mother, he would have fewer people to help him deal with his father. He was not as good as his other younger siblings. Now that he is getting older, he has more relationship with his father. .Since the father was able to rescue Ning Yunjin thousands of miles away, and he has pampered him for so many years and waited for him to grow up, needless to say, he definitely put his mind to it. Who else is more suitable to be his ally than the person next to the father's pillow! ?

The stakes were spread before Hong Ming's eyes, so he immediately softened his voice and said in a deep voice, "I'm so lonely, I really didn't think of it. But have you ever thought about it, even if you are a heaven worshiper, if this news gets out, wouldn't you Do you think there will be good fruit?"

His performance made Ning Yunjin laugh inwardly, after all, he was still a child, even though the city was deep, his wrists were still a bit immature.When you want to win over people, you still have arrogance and threats. If you don't meet yourself too lazy to care about him, isn't this purely offending people! ?

Ning Yunjin pretended to be surprised and said, "What does the prince mean...?"

"You are the same age as Gu." Hong Ming said inscrutably, "The younger brothers of Gu, except for the fourth, don't treat you very friendly. Think about Dong Xian, Deng Tong..."

His stick-like expression almost made Ning Yunjin fail, he quickly lowered his head, pretending to be in deep thought.

Dong Xian, the source of the most famous idiom "the addiction of broken sleeves" in history, Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty was honored and favored all his life, but after the death of Emperor Ai, he was kicked out of the palace, dismissed from the post of chief minister, and finally committed suicide with his wife .

Deng Tong, although this one is not as famous as Dong Xian, he ended up even worse.When he was favored by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, he was given a copper mountain and allowed him to make money by himself, which can be said to spread the world. However, because he offended the prince, his family property was confiscated after Emperor Wen died, and he died of hunger, cold and poverty.

Because he was holding back a laugh, his voice inevitably trembled, "Could it be that the prince means that the emperor has lived for a hundred years..."

Hong Ming saw that he was trying to be calm with a straight face, but he couldn't hide the fear in his voice, thinking that he had successfully frightened him.Satisfied in his heart, he said, "Is it the king of the world, since you have such a relationship with the father, then no one can help you. But if you follow Gu, there will be someone to protect you in the future .”

Ning Yunjin buried his head and did not speak, and when Hong Ming soon became impatient, he whispered, "Although the emperor...although...but he is indeed a Mingjun, and I cannot do anything to offend the emperor."

"You think too much." Hong Ming said, "That's Gu's father, don't you think Gu will ask you to do bad things!? Gu just wants you to hear some things when you are next to Father. Don’t forget to tell Gu about the news.”

Seeing that Ning Yunjin's expression seemed to be still hesitant, he didn't urge him, but instead said, "It's getting late, let's go to the ceremony first! Think about it carefully."

Ning Yunjin had smiles in his eyes when he got such an entertainment delivered to his door early in the morning, but the proud Hong Ming didn't notice it.

Today's sutra chanting ceremony held for Wen Zhen's "Imperial Image is eternal, holy life is boundless" is very lively. The flag flutters and the Sanskrit sounds linger.Lamas in scarlet cassocks lined up neatly, standing with their hands clasped together in the sun, with solemn expressions.And although those believers surrounded them, they were all extremely devout, and no one on the field made any noise.

Wenzhen and Tuktu sat on the high platform that had been prepared.Seeing that Ning Yunjin appeared with his son unexpectedly, his expression was a little surprised.And Ning Yunjin's emotions were naturally grasped by Wenzhen at the first time. Although he couldn't guess what made this kid so excited, he could also think that it might have something to do with his son.

However, in Wen Zhen's eyes, Hong Ming is still too immature. When he was his age, he had already confronted an old fox like Fu Meng Zhuoming, while Ning Yunjin had already earned a great reputation.As the crown prince, Hongming is the most outstanding of all his sons, but compared with Ning Yunjin, he is like a big bad wolf and a little white rabbit, so it is better to give it to that boy to teach him a lot .

So a certain unscrupulous man sold the prince gorgeously!
