Chapter 998 Leizhou Anecdote

In Leizhou, wind and thunder are rising in all seasons, and ancient lands in the south of the world are rising.

Liang Chuan would rather pass by Guangzhou than see this big harbour in the east, and would rather pass by this cape where birds do not shit.

His old boss lived in Leizhou back then.

He has two bosses, both of whom were the most powerful figures in the dynasty, one in the most glorious stage and the other in the darkest era of life.

Ding Wei, Ding Linglong!

The small Leizhou actually accepted two prime ministers of the Song Dynasty at the same time. However, the people of Leizhou only remember Kou Zhun, but few people remember who Ding Wei was.

The stone escort team arrived in Leizhou and settled at Ganquan Temple on the post road. The host in the temple had a childish face, and his beard was white but his voice was cheerful and loud.

Shen Yuzhen followed Liang Chuan all the time. The two of them never missed the opportunity to communicate in depth every time they went, but as long as the place where they settled was a temple, they stopped the matter between men and women.

Although Shen Yuzhen was eager to beg for a child, she did not dare to commit rashness in front of the Buddha.

Liang Chuan always works diligently whenever he has the opportunity, in order to fulfill Shen Yuzhen's wish.

The incense in Ganquan Temple is not very popular. It is 100,000 miles away from Chengtian Temple, and there are not many merchants inside.

To the east of Guangzhou, there are endless merchants on the post road, most of whom are walking on the Meiguan Ancient Road or the Nanyue Ancient Road, but there are fewer merchants going to Guangnan West Road. Guangnan West Road is too poor, and the risks taken by merchants there are huge, and their income is not proportional to the risk, so there are not many merchants on this road.

However, the temple is decorated with extremely bright and clean. The ancient blue bricks and vigorous old pine trees all show the sense of the age of this ancient temple.

Liang Chuan walked around the temple for a few times and suddenly thought of Master Hongyi. The great monk had not had any news about him for several years, and he didn't know where he was traveling at this time.

Turning around Liangchuan, I suddenly saw a line of words written on the wall of the temple in the east wing. The handwriting was tall and powerful, with a very unique style.

"Ping Zhongzhuanquan passed through this, looked back at the northern palace, and walked sadly!"

Liang Chuan looked carefully and saw that the signature surprised him. He turned out to be the famous prime minister Kou Zhun!

In amazement, a person suddenly appeared behind him, and a loud voice came: "Amitabha!"

Liang Chuan turned around and saw that it was the host of Ganquan Temple. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, Xiaoke is polite here!"

"Did the donor feel the person who saw this inscription?"

Liang Chuan said seriously: "But it is, Lord Kou defeated the Khitans in Chanzhou, and brought the rare peace in the north for decades. It is a blessing for my Song Dynasty. It is really a great merit. It is really a surprise to see Lord Kou's handwriting here!"

"The small temple is located in a critical situation. Although there is no favor to the nobles, there are occasionally a few big figures in the past. This is the original work that was written on the wall when Kou Xiang was deposed in Leizhou when he was deposed!"

"The right and wrong, success and failure are gone, and the green mountains are still there. I will not see the prime minister back then, only Ganquan Temple today!"

"The donor has a good state! I think the donor has a fate with the Buddha!"

Liang Chuan laughed: "I have no pursuit, I am more open-minded in everything, so you think I am more Buddha-natured!"

The host sang a Buddha again and smiled heartily, "There is a donor who is open-minded and has three points to this person's charm!"

"who?"

As he was talking, Shen Yuzhen also came to find Liang Chuan. The two of them joined together and formed a team of heaven and earth, which attracted the host's surprise.

The host led the two to the wall of the west wing, pointed to the inscription on the wall and said, "It's this person!"

Liang Chuan looked up and saw a line of big characters written on the wall, with casualness and freedom between the lines, and the characters were even better than Kou Zhun’s!

"It is called "Zhuoquan worshipping Buddha and leaving!"

After looking closely at the signature, Liang Chuan was shocked.

It turned out to be Ding Wei!

"Is this the handwriting of Lord Ding?" Liang Chuan asked.

The host replied: "That's right, Xiao Sha was fortunate to have two stars and left two magic treasures. In recent years, countless literati from the past must come here to appreciate it!"

Shen Yuzhen said, "Everyone in the world says Kou Zhun and Ding Wei are both loyal and traitorous, but looking at the mind and demeanor that reveals between the lines, I think Kou Zhun is not as good as Ding Wei!"

The host's eyes lit up and said, "Oh! Why did the female donor feel moved!"

Shen Yuzhen said proudly: "I heard that when Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, it was Ding Wei's idea. He was originally going to be exiled to Yazhou, but in fact he was exiled to Leizhou. Feng Zheng hesitated when Ding Wei asked Feng Zheng's opinion, which shows that Ding Wei was not the one who killed everyone."

The two of them were silent after hearing this. The political ruthlessness was tolerant to themselves. The monk didn't understand it, and Liang Chuan would not know it.

"Look at the lines, Lord Kou lives here but is still obsessed with the beauty of Bian Jing, the power of the world, and even his sad mood is undoubtedly revealed! Lord Kou was a loyal minister in his early years, but it's a pity that later, in order to cater to the late emperor, he also did the Zixu thing of seeking the Tao and praying for heaven, which is really pity!"

Shen Yuzhen talked endlessly.

"Look at this Ding Wei again."

"Let go is let go. I believe Ding Wei also saw Kou Zhun's word when he came here. He did not make any excuses, nor did he feel nostalgic. In front of the Buddha, he must not dare to seek revival or to have power and wealth. People in the world have their own opinions on me. If I don't argue, I will leave myself, and I will have a broad mind!"

Ding Wei is indeed awesome. I want the world to know these words. I have been here and I have read Kou Zhun's words. I am not unhappy and not unwilling to let it go. It's over!

Go to the words and do not take away a cloud!

The host couldn't help but sigh: "The female donor's mind is meticulous and meticulous!"

Shen Yuzhen continued: "There are even more good people in the market who write poems and sarcastically said: If you see Kou Sihu in Leizhou, where will we meet in life? People in this world are so eager for Ding Wei to suffer, but they really make these good people say it. Ding Wei was demoted for a day, but they are open-minded. I think that by comparison, Ding Wei won!"

The host praised repeatedly: "The female donor has a unique wise eye. Countless people in the small temple have visited, all of whom denounced Ding Wei's evil and praised the righteousness of the enemy. However, no one is so unique from the female donor. Seeing these intrigues and troubles, how ridiculous it is in front of the Buddha!"

"A scholar came here and was moved by the two of them. Ping Zhong drank the spring and looked north, looking at the Buddha and walking south. The smoke and mistress locked the way in front of the door, making the monk dislike the glory. The female donor and the scholar saw the same thing, and the monk was very moved."

Shen Yuzhen is a woman, and her perspective on the problem is naturally different. How could she judge a person based on her political likes and dislikes? She doesn’t understand politics, but she knows how to reason with men!

Some people have reached the extreme desire for power.

Of course, the monk had no desires and no desires. Kou Zhun came to Leizhou and was still complaining on the way. How strong is this obsession? In comparison, he was indeed inferior.

The monk has a great affection for the two, because there is also a sense of transcendence on one person and no worldly spirit.

The host took the two of them to walk around the temple again, slowly telling their anecdotes.

The grudge between the two was not only the famous flattery incident, but Kou Zhun was very mean.

Once he was sitting in a mountain pavilion and saw a group of crows flying over the sky, he blurted out and said, "Don't let Ding Wei see it, otherwise Ding Wei will say it is a crane again!" These slanderous words made Ding Wei extremely embarrassed in the court, and even called the crane. It is no wonder Ding Wei hated Kou Zhun so much!

He has become the prime minister and can't control his words. He doesn't know how Kou Zhun is an official.

When Kou Zhun was demoted to Leizhou, Ding Wei issued an order not to allow Kou Zhun to live in an official house, but could only rent a private house outside. The local people sympathized with Kou Zhun and rented the house to Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun was not in Leizhou for a long time, only for more than a year. During this year, he built water conservancy, encouraged farming and sericulture, and educated villagers. The local people loved Kou Zhun very much.

Ding Wei heard that Kou Zhun had rented a house for ordinary people and then found some fake evidence to falsely accuse Kou Zhun of robbing a house. It turned out that the local people came out to testify for Kou Zhun, and the matter was revealed.

Later, Ding Wei fell and was demoted to Yazhou. He wrote a letter to Ganquan Temple. Knowing that Kou Zhun was also in Leizhou, he actually offered to visit Kou Zhun and resolve the grudge between the two!

When Kou Zhun heard that Ding Wei had a shameless face, he locked his servant in the woodshed first, for fear that his servant would hurt Ding Wei, so he prepared a steamed sheep for Ding Wei. However, until the two passed away, Kou Zhun did not see Ding Wei again, and the grudge between the two was brought to the coffin.

Liang Chuan asked the host and said, "I heard that Lord Ding has come from Yazhou to Leizhou, and he came here soon. I wonder if the master has the whereabouts of Lord Ding!"

The host was shocked and Liang Chuan asked Ding Wei's whereabouts. Could it be that he was going to visit Ding Wei...

What is the relationship between the two? Fortunately, I just said a lot of good things about Ding Wei, otherwise I really don’t know how much disaster it would have caused!

Even though he is a monk, he is afraid of disaster! The official acts, no matter whether you are a monk or not!

The host said calmly: "There is a house in the east of the city. When you come here to ask the people nearby, you must know the whereabouts of Lord Ding!"

Liang Chuan thanked repeatedly and took Shen Yuzhen out of Ganquan Temple and headed towards Leizhou City.

"Stern brother, do you want to see Ding Wei? That person has such a bad reputation, why do you still have to find him? The most ugly thing in the world is Ding Wei, they are all synonyms for bad people. Are you not afraid?"

"Just scold me, I won't lose a piece of meat, but Ding Wei was kind to me back then, and I can't forget this. If I forget my roots, I really look down on myself!"

The two entered Leizhou City. The city walls were small and the female walls were low. There were not many residents in the city. Although it was a small town by the sea, Leizhou seemed desolate and not as energetic as Qingyuan!

It is precisely because of the destruction here and the backwardness that it is a good place to demote officials!
