After seeing Zhao Junchen's wave, Hui Bao trotted all the way to Zhao Junchen, with a slightly frightened expression on his face. He no longer looked like the eminent monk he once was.
After running to Zhao Junchen, Hui Bao saluted and hurriedly explained with a mournful face: "Master Zhao, since His Majesty came to our Canglang Pavilion, in order to prevent anyone from disturbing the Holy Master, the monk has been strictly selecting the believers who come and go.
, I don’t dare to slack off at all. As for why those common people suddenly ran into the Ksitigarbha Hall to cry and disturb the crowd, and even disturbed His Majesty’s entertainment, the poor monk really didn’t know about it beforehand! I hope you will do it, Mr. Zhao.
Ming Jian, I must also explain something to Your Majesty on behalf of the people at Nanchan Temple."
Apparently, after Emperor Deqing was disturbed by the Holy Master in the Main Hall, Hui Bao was worried that he and Nanchan Temple would be implicated, so he hurried to Zhao Junchen to explain.
After hearing Hui Bao's explanation, Zhao Junchen smiled softly and said very politely: "Master Hui Bao, don't worry. Although the things just happened were a bit unexpected and disturbed His Majesty's pleasure, His Majesty may not be angry.
I won’t blame you Nanzenji, so you don’t have to be nervous and rest assured that nothing will happen to you Nanzenji. As long as you serve His Majesty well in these few days, Nanzenji will naturally benefit from you in the future.”
After receiving Zhao Junchen's relief, Hui Bao's originally nervous expression relaxed a little, and confirmed to Zhao Junchen again: "Mr. Zhao, do you mean that your Majesty is not angry this time?"
Zhao Junchen smiled again and explained vaguely: "It may not be that he is not angry, but His Majesty's anger is not caused by this incident, and it is not directed at your Nanchan Temple."
Although Zhao Junchen's explanation was vague, this slightly mysterious way of explaining made Hui Bao feel more at ease.
Then, Hui Bao said many compliments to Zhao Junchen, and after consciously trying to please Zhao Junchen, he finally planned to leave.
However, before leaving, Hui Bao hesitated for a moment, and then carefully tested Zhao Junchen: "Master Zhao, the poor monk just went to investigate and found that the monks below do have the intention to screen the believers entering and leaving Canglang Pavilion.
.There is no neglect of duty. The reason why those crying people were allowed to enter Nanzen Temple was because the guards greeted them in advance in your name. Do you know this?"
Zhao Junchen smiled half-heartedly and said, "I don't know about this matter. It has nothing to do with me, but since your Nanchan Temple is a holy place for Buddhism, you can't shut out the believers. Is that true?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's reply, Hui Bao immediately understood that no matter whether this matter had anything to do with Zhao Junchen or not, Zhao Junchen did not want to take responsibility and did not intend to let himself investigate further, so he responded and left quickly.
went.
Looking at Hui Bao's leaving figure, Zhao Junchen's eyes suddenly flashed with pity, and then disappeared instantly.
For Huibao and Nanzenji, the real trouble has just begun from today on.
Although Nanchan Temple is one of the largest temples in Suzhou, with a strong foundation, countless believers, and huge influence, even Suzhou officials dare not provoke them at will. But to Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing, and Zhao Junchen, Nanchan Temple was just
An insignificant existence, Hui Bao was now blinded by interests. It was undoubtedly very dangerous to blindly welcome Emperor Deqing to live in Canglang Pavilion and get involved in this political struggle.
The benefits are certainly tempting, but if you want to get those benefits, you must have the matching strength!
In fact, according to Zhao Junchen's plan, in this treacherous and complicated political struggle, no matter who wins or loses between Emperor Deqing and Zhou Shangjing, Huibao and Nanchan Temple are destined to become victims!
All this was already doomed when Zhao Junchen pushed Emperor Deqing to move into the Canglang Pavilion of Nanchan Temple.
Although Hui Bao is not a eminent monk in the true sense, and his nature is somewhat utilitarian and hypocritical, Zhao Junchen actually does not hate him, and has no hostility or conflict of interest towards him. The reason why Hui Bao and Nan Chan are
The temple was placed in such a crater location just because Huibao and Nanchan Temple were very suitable. It was in line with Zhao Junchen's plan, nothing more.
Of course, Hui Bao did not know about Zhao Junchen's many thoughts. He was now only thinking about pleasing Emperor Deqing and looking forward to various benefits in the future. He did not know what kind of tragic situation he would encounter next.
Three days later, Suzhou experienced another sudden change.
First, under the order of Emperor Deqing, Zhou Shangjing summoned various officials and began to secretly investigate the truth of the rumors about Japanese pirates in Suzhou. After the three-day time limit was over, Zhou Shangjing also reported the results to Emperor Deqing.
According to Zhou Shangjing, there were no incidents of Japanese pirates in Suzhou. There were just some ruffians disguised as Japanese pirates, intending to rob the people and cause some fishermen to suffer losses. However, the actions of these ruffians were quickly suppressed by the Suzhou government.
And they have been convicted in accordance with the law. These matters have also been recorded in the Ministry of Punishment. During this period, Suzhou officials responded quickly and suppressed effectively, and they were praised by the central government. However, the people below did not know the details and still thought it was Japanese pirates causing trouble, which caused various misunderstandings.
.
Zhou Shangjing's investigation results can be said to be very detailed, and there is a lot of circumstantial evidence. On the other hand, after Emperor Deqing received the investigation results, he did not raise too many questions and believed it easily.
But Zhao Junchen believes that this matter is far from over.
Then, after Zhou Shangjing's investigation was completed, Emperor Deqing also "timely" ended his visit to Canglang Pavilion, and under the arrangement of Zhao Junchen, went to the Humble Administrator's Garden to stay temporarily, where the owner of the Humble Administrator's Garden
Wang Zhilong has been waiting for him for a long time.
At the same time, Huibao and Nanchan Temple also received many awards for their effective service, and the Canglang Pavilion of Nanchan Temple also had many inscriptions and inscriptions from Emperor Deqing. I believe that with these honors, Nanchan Temple
The reputation of the temple near Suzhou will further increase in the future.
Of course, that's assuming there are no "accidents" happening.
Finally, not long after Emperor Deqing left Canglang Pavilion and moved to the Humble Administrator's Garden, an "accident" happened.
I don’t know who leaked the news. There are some half-true and half-false rumors among the people. It is said that Emperor Deqing is currently staying temporarily in Canglang Pavilion of Nanchan Temple. He often walks around incognito inside Canglang Pavilion and comes and goes with people.
He communicated with other believers and even solved problems for some people who had been wronged.
After such rumors gradually spread, it caused great shock among the people.
In the end, before Nanzenji and Huibao could enjoy their vested interests, trouble found them first!
