Wang Pang has already felt that his father is no longer the Wang Anshi who worked hard to govern and wanted to revolutionize the country and strengthen the military. But this feeling is not necessarily a good thing. Now Wang Anshi is calm and calm, and he feels relieved. Seeing these Wang Pang feels a little relieved. But one thing he didn't forget was that he had to do what he wanted to do

Or for Wang Anshi, everything is over; but for Wang Pang, a new life has just begun.

The next day Wang Anshi will take Wang Pang to Dinglin Temple, but going to the temple to stay is a miserable thing. Shi Qian and others are not interested in the temple, especially Shi Qian, a kid who is not allowed to drink alcohol and eat meat in the temple. He can't resist Chao Er. Take Shi Qian, Ma Sheng and the others around the city to understand what's going on in the city.

Dinglin Temple is located in the Zixia Lake area of ​​Zhongshan, Nanjing. Historically, Dinglin Temple was divided into "Shangding Lin Temple" and "Lower Dinglin Temple". In the second year of Song Jingping (423), "Huijue" founded "Lower Dinglin Temple" in Zhongshan, Nanjing. Liu Song Yuanjia In the 16th year (439), the foreign eminent monk Zhu Faxiu (Tamamituo) built the "Shangdinglin Temple" in the Zixia Lake area of ​​Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing. According to legend: after the Buddha's nirvana, two Buddha tooth relics remained in the world and one was introduced to Ceylon ( Today's Sri Lanka), a tooth was introduced to the Wuchang Kingdom at that time and then passed from Wuchang Kingdom to Khotan. In the fifth century, the eminent monk "Faxian" of the Southern Dynasties traveled to Khotan and brought the Buddha's tooth to the Buddha's Tooth Pavilion in Shangdinglin Temple in Jiankang (Nanjing), the capital of the Southern Qi Dynasty. Widely worshiped by Buddhists from all over the world

The father and son came to the temple and walked next to the king, admiring the thousand-year-old temple. They passed through the mountain gate, the treasure hall, the sutra collection pavilion and the Gongde Tower, and arrived at the Zhaitang Zen Hall, which few pilgrims walked into.[

The living room in temples is usually used to accommodate those who are traveling far away or who want to meditate in the temple. Wang Bian knew that his father had a study room in the temple, so he thought that his father would find a place here to read quietly while listening to the bells of the temple. No wonder his current state of mind was different. Several people continued to walk in. When the monks saw Wang Anshi, they all nodded and did not come forward to salute. It seemed that in their eyes, Wang Anshi was no different from other practitioners.

Going further inside is the monk's dormitory. The monk's dormitory is the hut where the monk lives. Compared with the living room outside, the monk's dormitory is much simpler. Wang Anshi took them to a room with a clay bed. The bookshelves next to the wall were filled with books. A table, two chairs, a lamp on the table and a set of teapots and bowls, that's all

Compared with the main hall where cigarettes are lingering and incense is flourishing, this place is naturally cleaner. Many monks only return to the monks' dormitory to rest at night.

Before coming here, Wang Pang had seen the simple mountain garden and Xie Gongdun, who could barely live in it. He also thought that his father's study must be very elegant among the temples. When he saw it, he knew that it was a place of poverty but elegance was rare.

Wang Anshi felt pleased with himself and said with a smile: "This earthen bed is enough for us and our son to sleep. You can read whatever you want in this room. If you are thirsty, go to the water room to get water. If you are hungry, there is fast food in the dining hall. If you are upset, you can read it." How about going to the meditation hall to listen to the monks chanting sutras and living in this monk's dormitory? In the evening, you can also find a monk to talk about sutras and chat. How about you, who have been a prince for many years, can you adapt to such a simple life? "

It's okay to stay for a few days. It's just for self-cultivation. But after a long time, Wang Pang couldn't stand it. Wang Panglai's original intention was to stay with his father for a few more days. Since he saw his father An Ran was ill and knew about his It doesn’t matter if I don’t see Zhao Xu in my heart.

However, he still hoped that staying these few days would make his father happy, so Wang Pang smiled and said: "Dad, I was not born to be a prince, marching and fighting, but it is much more miserable than this. How can I be considered miserable in the temple if I am doing well? "

Wang Anshi took a book from the bookshelf, held it up and squinted at it, but what he said was something related to the book: "There is such an allusion about a rich man who was running around on the way and saw an old man under a tree. He stopped to rest in the shade, and the two of them started chatting. The old man said, "Look at you running around in the sun. What are you doing?" The rich man said, "I want to make money. If I make a lot of money, I can sit under the tree and enjoy the coolness every day." The old man laughed and said, I don’t have a lot of money, but I’m doing what you want.”

Wang Pang knew that his father wanted to remind him something, but Wang Anshi stopped talking when he said this: "I am so dim-sighted that I can hardly see the words in these books. When I understand something that is on my mind, I will ride around on a donkey." What do you think about writing some more good sentences about the pleasures and feelings in the mountains and rivers?"

"Of course, if you say that, I feel relieved. Otherwise, I would have thought that you were going to become a monk. But if my father has any unanswered questions, can you tell me?"

Wang Anshi shook his head: "When the time comes, you will naturally know that one day I will be gone and I will leave this monk's room and the books in it to you."

Although Wang Pang did not expect his father to leave him any wealth, leaving him a study in the temple seemed too far away for him.

I stayed in Dinglin Temple for a few days and it was very relaxing. It was very interesting. After noon, Wang Anshi went to the Zen room to listen to the elder's sermon. Wang Pangzheng was busy flipping through the books in the room. Chao Er and several others came.

As soon as he entered the door, Chao Er said: "My lord, it's so interesting to tell you, haha." He laughed without saying anything.

Wang Pang waited until he had laughed enough before asking: "What makes you so happy?"

"I heard that the nobles who are coming from the capital will not enter the city. The soldiers on duty in the city have all withdrawn. I have been waiting for so many days in vain. When I saw this road, it looked like it was newly paved. I usually wouldn't let me go. They evacuated me. Sayazi walked back and forth several times on the road."

Seeing that he was making trouble again, Wang Bian ignored him and turned to Hu Tieling and asked: "Do you have any news over there?"

Among the three people who followed him, Hu Tieling was older and always calm in his work. He returned: "We found out that a team from the capital has arrived at Zhongshan, five miles away. This morning, the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture passed the judge and countless people All the high-profile officials have gone there."

Shi Qian had already taken off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the earthen bed. While munching some fruit, he said to Chao Er: "I said Chao Er, hurry up and talk about the important things. Don't do it because you almost made a fool of yourself by somersaulting on the road. The prince said"[

Chao Er rolled his eyes at him: "Your Majesty, someone from the government went to Banshan Garden yesterday and waited all day but couldn't find Xianggong Wang. He went to my house at night and called me to the Yamen. Guess what? I told Magistrate Li that Xianggong Wang was a monk at Dinglin Temple. When I became a monk, Li Zhifu almost cried."

"Did you really say that?" Wang Pang looked at Chao Er and asked

"Hehe, that's what I said at first, but the master said: Chao Er only has two decent words a day. This sentence must not be you. Look at how famous I am in our Jiangning Mansion."

"Well, your name will be infamy for thousands of years, so what will the prefect say?"

"I was still thinking that the prefect would not entertain me with good wine and good food. Then if I tell the truth, that damn Li Bi actually wants to kick me out. It's so kind and retributive."

Wang Pang chuckled: "You are really cheap. If I were Magistrate Li, I would definitely treat you to a meal. But it's not a banquet. You have to eat twenty killing sticks."

"Then if you can't beat the dog, it depends on the owner. Now I'm specifically serving Elder Wang. Who can beat me?"

Shi Qian covered his stomach and chuckled: "Chao Er, go and see which monk wants to be served by others."

Chao Er shook his head: "That's right, but then Magistrate Li is a smart man and he knows that it must be true that Mr. Wang is in Dinglin Temple."

After a few knocks on the door, a young monk walked in and saw four or five people in the small room, who were stunned for a moment.

Wang Pang said hurriedly: "Master, are we talking too loudly and disturbing everyone's rest?"

When the young monk saw Wang Bian, he finally found someone: "I want to tell you, Sir. The prefect just sent a letter saying that there is a noble person. My temple originally said that it was necessary to clean the temple, but the elder and Wang Xianggong said that no matter who is worshiping Buddha, there is no distinction between high and low. Isn't this right?

After negotiating for a long time, he said that there is no need to clean the temple, but he told everyone not to walk around after dark." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shi Qian and others in the room and wanted to say that Wang Anshi lived in the so-called Wangbang, so it would not cause trouble to anyone these days, but the house

The other four people among them are not like people who sincerely worship Buddha.

From this, it can be seen that the young monk's practice is really not as good as that of the elder. Wang Pian immediately understood what the young monk meant. He said to Hu Tieling and others: "Since there is no curfew in the city, you can go. You can't get used to the porridge and rice in the temple."

Shi Qian jumped down from the Tukang: "Okay, I heard Weng Sanlang's Silver Words yesterday and it's about to reach Kou'er. I'm so itchy, let's listen quickly."

These silver words speak of the modern story-telling era. Jiang Ning Mansion opened his eyes. These story-telling handouts were available in Xixia and were so popular in the Song Dynasty. The stories can be told in many ways and are wonderful.

Chao Eryi curled his lips and said with disdain: "Hey~ I'm just telling you about Xixia's knowledge. What did Weng Sanlang talk about yesterday?

It’s about Duan Gongan called Zhi Duan Jiulong Cup. Do you know who the Wang Shilang is in the story?”

"Do you just want to hear it because you don't know? Besides, I was thinking about asking about it from half way through."

Wang Pang lowered his head and smiled, Chao Er said: "This master is here alive. If you want to ask about the story, you can still tell it in the way of listening and speaking."

"You" Shi Qian tilted his head and looked at Chao Er in disbelief

"I'm so stupid. I think you're good at stealing chickens. That's the story about our prince when Emperor Renzong was in power. I've heard it many times. I think let's not leave. The person you want is the stupid king.

My husband wants to leave, you can go, I have to stay and see if anything happens," Chao Er said seriously.

Hu Tieling also said: "Your Majesty, let's stay." Only Shi Qian shrugged his nose [

"Chao Er, you've finished your two serious words today." Wang Pang looked at Chao Er and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect that you, this kid, are quite thoughtful."

"That means I have to keep the old man safe. Otherwise, who can I find to get the fifteen coins every month?"

Today, the quota has been exhausted, so there are two people. Wang Pang asked the young monk to find a living room for four people to live in. The young monk shook his head and said that the living room is full. Otherwise, there is still a monk's dormitory, so the four of them will make do with it.
