After Bisu arrived at Jinling City, he first found an inn to stay at. That night he changed into night clothes and sneaked into the inn. He went to the Song envoy's residence, found Yang Hao, and told him everything about the situation in Kaifeng.
After Yang Hao left, Yanyan and Wawa also packed their luggage quickly. Under the protection of Mu Yu and the confidant guards Yang Hao brought from Luzhou, they quietly left Kaifeng Mansion and followed the imperial envoy's honor guard south for a few days to make sure that no one was following them.
After that, they turned west and dived in the direction of Huashan. Relatively speaking, that place was less war-ridden and it was also easy to live in seclusion. This was the place Yang Hao had discussed with them in advance. He would come after they had made all arrangements.
Gathering in Jinling.
Over in Kaifeng, Zhu'er, who knew the truth, also promised to take good care of Miaomiao. As for the house, it was just like the last time Wawa left Bianliang, with all the servants and guards left behind, leaving no flaws. Zhang Niuer and
Lao Hei and others were also handed over to Miaomiao's charge. They were originally the stewards and bodyguards of the inner courtyard, and they were even better at doing these things than Mu Yu. They were Miaomiao's right-hand helpers.
When Yang Hao heard that everything was arranged, he felt overjoyed and asked Bi Su to go back to the inn to stay. He would often go to the century-old "Yan Chi Tower", the meeting place that Yan Yan and Wa Wa had already agreed upon, and wait for them to catch up.
When he arrived, he notified himself in time. When Bisu heard that this was what he wanted, he immediately said goodbye to him, walked out of the hotel at night, and returned to the inn.
In the following days, Li Yu had a big banquet on the fifth day and a small banquet on the third day. He treated Yang Hao extremely attentively. Because of Yang Hao's arrogant attitude, Li Yu really didn't want to deal with him anymore, but after listening to what Xiao Zhou said about Yang Hao,
Regarding Hao's behavior in Jinling, he was indeed worried that Yang Hao's trouble-making temperament would conflict with the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how disrespectful he was to himself, he would not dare to act too much. Rather than doing this, he would be wrong.
The banquet kept him by his side until he returned to Song Dynasty.
Li Yu was very nerdy. He always believed that when the Song Dynasty attacked the Han Dynasty, he not only did not send troops to help the Han Dynasty at Liu Jixing's request, but he also helped the Song Dynasty write a letter to the Han Dynasty, urging Liu Jixing to surrender. He also grabbed the opportunity of the Han Dynasty before the Song Dynasty.
Before the destruction of the Song Dynasty, he professed himself to the Song State, downgraded and restructured, and recognized himself as a minister. He was extremely benevolent and righteous to the Song State. Since Zhao Kuangyin accepted that he was a minister of the Song State, there was no reason to send troops to attack the Tang State. The plan to keep Yang Hao by his side,
The main concern was that he was afraid that his too arrogant attitude would make some Tang Dynasty civil and military ministers disrespect him, which would cause any diplomatic disputes. Therefore, he followed Xiao Zhouhou's suggestion and often invited him to the palace for banquets.
Yang Hao had to go to Li Yu's invitation, but Bi Su was walking around the streets these days, looking for his special someone.
Bisu is a seductress, and he has had many women in his life, not only those who were involved in money relations, but also seduced some ladies and wealthy ladies with his appearance, but what made him so emotional
, but this is the first time in my life.
When Yang Hao sent him to inquire about folk news in the Jianghuai area, he met her for the first time. Although they never said a word to each other and never had any interactions with her, he just fell in love with her and couldn't help himself.
.Just because that girl who had never spoken to him smiled tenderly at him because he made way for her when she passed by him.
That smile was so gentle and kind. Bi Su vaguely remembered that his mother had such a gentle and reserved smile when he was a child. For many years, during the war, all his relatives had died, and he was homeless without any relatives.
The rivers and lakes are like rootless duckweeds that have never had the taste of love or family affection, but in the end, the beautiful smile of this girl he has never met stirred up the emotions in his heart.
That girl is a bhikshuni.
Finding her is not easy.
There are four hundred and eighty temples in Jiangnan. There are so many towers in the mist and rain. Today, under the care of Li Yu, there are more than four hundred and eighty temples in Jiangnan.
Li Yu was fond of beauty, poetry, worshiping Buddha, and loved playing chess. The trend of worshiping Buddha in Jiangnan became more and more intense after Li Yu succeeded to the throne. Every day when he retired from the court, he and Empress Xiao Zhou would change into monk robes, meditate and chant sutras.
Do your homework. Zhang Bo, a member of Zhongshushe, did not believe in Buddhism, but he fell in love with the emperor. Every time he saw Li Yu, he talked about Buddhism with him, so he became his favorite minister and one of the most prominent officials.
.With this person as an example, everyone in the civil and military capitals of the DPRK and China began to believe in Buddhism.
There were already many Buddhist temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Li Yu also issued an edict to build more than a thousand Buddhist temples on Niutou Mountain in the south of Jinling City. During the palace ban, he donated huge amounts of money for this purpose. Even a Jingde Temple was built in the palace garden. For a time, only the Jingde Temple in Jinling City was built.
There are nearly 100,000 monks. These monks do not farm or weave. They squander money and food, and then go out to exploit the people, causing resentment among the people.
You must know that monks do not have to pay taxes, perform military service, or perform corvee labor. Therefore, in ancient times when labor was in short supply, the court would generally strictly limit the number of monks. Otherwise, if there were too many monks, the country's financial and material resources would be greatly damaged. In the later Zhou Dynasty,
It was for this reason that Emperor Sejong Chai Rong launched a large-scale campaign to destroy Buddhism, destroying more than 30,000 Buddhist temples and forcing hundreds of thousands of monks to return to secular life and farm. However, Li Yu did the opposite. Not only did he cancel the "review of monks and nuns"
"Pudu" system, and because he was a Buddhist believer, he personally came out as emperor to compete with Taoism for believers. It was stipulated that if a Taoist priest was willing to switch to Buddhism, the government would reward him with two taels of gold.
There is a lot to be done in this, so real monks and fake bald donkeys are everywhere in the mountains and plains, and many of them are just seeking profit. For example, some people are affiliated to a Buddhist temple, but they are just nominal disciples, but their family properties have become Buddhist fields, and the court
They couldn't get a penny in taxes. Some people pretended to be Taoist priests first, and then changed their careers to become monks as soon as they got the spies, taking the opportunity to receive rewards from the court.
Thanks to the strong family background left by Li Yu's father and ancestors, he could withstand such troubles. Today, the Tang Dynasty's national power has declined to this point, and the morale of the military and the people has been dissipated. This has nothing to do with it. When more and more monks are living without working, relying only on the people
When the money for the fragrant oil offered could not sustain the existence of so many temples, Li Yu actually ordered that the monks be supported by the court. This expenditure every year was several times more than the court's military expenditure.
Therefore, the trend of monasticism became more popular in the south of the Yangtze River, and monks were everywhere. Even the number of nuns’ nunneries was no less than a hundred. It was not easy for men to enter the nunneries, let alone find them among the many nuns.
Bisu couldn't let the abbot call out all the young and beautiful nuns in the nunnery to show him a specific person, so after searching for two days, there was no news about that young nun. Instead, he was repeatedly picked up by some old nuns.
Ni treated him as a thief who stole incense and jade and beat him out.
An idea came to Bisu, so he simply changed into women's clothes and pretended to offer incense and worship the Buddha. This way, he could enter the nunnery of each nunnery without being blocked by anyone. Bisu had nothing to do anyway, so he persevered and walked along the nunneries of each nunnery.
I continued searching. Generally speaking, the size of nunneries and the number of nuns are much smaller than those of monasteries, but it is not easy to see all the nuns in a nunnery. Only when doing homework in the main hall, all the nuns can see each other.
Only monks who come to the temple will appear in large numbers. Therefore, every time Bisu goes to a nunnery, he must wait patiently while the nuns worship the Buddha, chant sutras, and do their homework.
This day was no exception when he arrived at Jingxin nunnery. He lit incense, applied sesame oil money, and waited in the nunnery until the nuns were doing their homework in the main hall. Bisu stood outside the hall and walked inside several times, but still
He couldn't help but sigh and left the main hall, walking out of the second courtyard. Bisu was about to leave when he turned around unintentionally and saw a corner of her robe flashing across the yellow Buddhist wall.
Entered a side courtyard.
Bisu's heart suddenly moved. All the nuns were chanting sutras in the temple. Why was this nun not in the temple? He subconsciously chased after him and saw a nun carrying two loads of water and turning slowly around the monastery.
Yijiao. The fat silk clothes could not hide her delicate figure as delicate as a crescent moon. Just one glance at her back made Bi Su's eyes widen: "It's her, it's her! The sky has paid off, and it's really called
I found it."
At that moment, Bisu felt like he was possessed by an evil spirit, his feet moved involuntarily, and he chased after him from behind...
These days, Yang Hao often goes in and out of the palace and has become a frequent visitor in the harem. He has been around a lot, and it is hard to show disrespect to Li Yu often, so his attitude gradually became more polite. Li Yu was overjoyed and said:
Inspired by his enthusiasm, the arrogant and rude envoy of the Song Dynasty also started to respect him, and he was even more attentive to his hospitality.
At that time, banquets were always accompanied by singing and dancing. Yao Niang was the leader of the Tang Palace singing and dancing troupe, so naturally she had to be present at every banquet. Yao Niang was originally a lotus picker in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was selected into the palace at the age of sixteen.
The maternal parent is from the Persian food area, so Yao Niang is a mixed-race child with slightly blue eyes and European-style eye sockets. She has a strong sense of three-dimensionality and is full of amorous feelings. Her original lotus-picking dance is very graceful, and her
Once her tall and slender figure dances, she looks like a lotus flower on the waves, pitching and swaying gracefully. Li Yu is a master in this field, so he admires her the most.
Although Yao Niang was not Li Yu's concubine, she was still the woman he loved very much. When singing and dancing, she often wanted her to wait by his side, because she was familiar with Yang Hao, and it was not a state banquet. Apart from Yang Hao, the only people present were palace dancers.
There is no need to have any scruples with the palace attendants, so when the wine is in full swing, Li Yu can't help but become wild and affectionate with Yao's mother.
This beautiful girl looked at her with a natural beauty, and her every smile was charming. She was truly a beauty. In front of Yang Hao, she looked straight into Yang Hao's eyes with a very fragrant "leather cup".
Yang Hao couldn't help but secretly sigh: "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed not as rigorous as that in the north. The concubines and dancers in the Song Dynasty court were never so affectionate with the emperor in front of foreign ministers. This Li Yu really doesn't look like an emperor."
Emperors who like to live a self-destructive private life like Li Yu are indeed rare. Needless to say, the song "Bodhisattva Man" vividly describes his affair with his aunt Nv Ying who has not yet become the queen. Even after Nv Ying became the queen, Li Yu's love for the two of them
Married life is also undisguised. A song "Yi Huzhu": "The evening makeup is just over. Shen Tan lightly pours some lilacs, revealing a few lilacs to others. A clear song temporarily introduces the cherry blossoms. The sleeves are broken.
Yin Seke. The cup was deep and washed with fragrant mash, and the embroidered bed was leaning on the embroidered bed. She was chewing red velvet, smiling and spitting at Tan Lang." The charming scenery of the couple's love was undoubtedly exposed. At this moment, in front of Yang Hao's eyes
How could you have any scruples about being intimate with a maiko in front of you?
Yao Niang used a "leather cup" to pour the wine into Li Yu's mouth, but she seemed to have known that Yang Hao was looking at her. Her delicate body was nestled in Li Yu's arms, but she looked back at Yang Hao and smiled, her charming and charming style was quite provocative.
Meaning, Yang Hao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his gaze: "Li Yu has three thousand beauties in his harem, and there is only one well in Li Yu's land. I am afraid that these resentful women in the palace are all dissatisfied with their desires. They dare to ask for help in front of Li Yu."
I wink."
Just as he was thinking wildly, a chamberlain came in with a lot of melodies, bowed his head and said something to Li Yu. Li Yu frowned, let go of Yao Niang's waist, and said displeasedly: "Gu Zheng and Yang Zuoshi were drinking.
Didn’t you see it?”
The chamberlain panicked and said: "Your Majesty, these are all cases of prisoners awaiting death. They have been backlogged for a long time. I am urging you to do so. I would like to ask the officials to take a brief look at them and approve them."
Seeing this, Yang Hao smiled and said: "State affairs are the most important thing. Let the Lord go and review the official documents. I'm already drunk, so I'll take my leave."
Li Yu was not yet exhausted and smiled at him: "I like to play chess. Although Go is my best, I have also been immersed in chess for a long time. The method of playing chess that Yang Zuoshi said just now seems very interesting.
The lonely king is just about to have a look, so Ambassador Zuo is not in a hurry to leave. My mother-in-law, please lead Yang Zuo to the chrysanthemum garden to enjoy the flowers. The lonely king will come back as soon as he leaves."
After the banquet was over, Li Yu followed the chamberlain to the side hall to handle official documents, but Yang Hao was led to the back garden by Yao Niang. Yao Niang had followed Xiao Zhou's instructions, but she had deliberately created a scandal with Yang Hao.
It's a pity that there has never been a suitable opportunity to meet him privately, so I can only express my love for him in front of the palace, and use charming tricks in front of Li Yu to seduce Yang Hao. It is a rare opportunity at this time, so I can't help but speak softly and have a soft attitude in front of him.
A little too intimate.
It's a pity that when she danced in the palace, although Yang Hao couldn't take his eyes away from her and often showed her a man's instinctive admiration for beautiful women, in this private environment, he was quite lawful and didn't look away. In fact, this is also a common problem of most men.
When sitting in the audience, I can comment on the beauty on the stage, but I can't let it go in front of her.
Yang Hao only answered a question. The characters in Jiangnan were delicate and delicate, and Yao Niang's teasing was too elegant. With Yang Hao's little knowledge of traditional Chinese culture, how could he taste it?
Yao Niang didn't know his background, so she made some provocative and bold words, but Yang Hao was just obsequious and courteous. Yao Niang couldn't help but secretly wonder: "After all, this Song envoy is a gentleman who doesn't like women.
Or are you worried about my identity? Let me try him again.
"Mr. Yang, do you think that cluster of chrysanthemums is in bloom?"
Yang Hao followed Mother Yao's instructions and saw clusters of chrysanthemums in colors ranging from jade white, light yellow, pink, rose red, light purple... with carved petals, rolled petals, folded petals, key petals, missing petals...
..., some are like pine needles, some are like hanging threads, some are like rosettes, some are like dragon claws..., some are already fully opened, like a beautiful woman's smiling face; some small petals relax, like stretching out
With slender jade fingers, the most sultry thing is holding the unreleased tender buds in your heart, holding the petals implicitly and not wanting to say anything.
The chrysanthemum that Yao Niang pointed to was milky white in color, with round flowers, stamens lowered, and long and narrow like a dancing girl. Yao Niang said with a smile: "This chrysanthemum has a name, it's called 'Dancing Girl under the Moon'. Sir, look
With its graceful appearance and light body, does it look like a beauty dancing gracefully and singing and dancing under the full moon?"
Yao Niang seemed drunk and weak, and seemed a little carried away. When she came close to Yang Hao to give him some guidance, her plump breasts came close to Yang Hao's shoulders unconsciously. She rubbed them softly and softly.
The feeling penetrated into his heart, and Yang Hao felt that she was breathing like orchid, and her delicate body was on the side, as if he could kiss her cheek with just one side of his head, so he gave in without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Originally, Yang
I still can’t see the way out, but when I asked Yao Niang to tell me, it turns out that they are somewhat similar.”
"Ah..., I am feeling drunk and a bit drunk. Please go and rest yourself, Miss Yao. I don't need to accompany you. The king has official business to attend to, so Yang walked alone in the courtyard to sober up.
"
Yao Niang couldn't help but be startled after hearing this. Ever since her beauty first appeared, countless men have chased her under her skirt. This was the first time she encountered someone who took the initiative to drive her away. Could it be that this man is really a gentleman of noble character?
Or maybe the incident in Tao Gu in the past made him more wary? It was hard for Yao Niang to act too eagerly, so she had no choice but to respond with a smile and retreat gracefully.
When Li Yu was handling official documents, it wasn't because Empress Xiao Zhou had someone deliberately push him away. Otherwise, he might have used this opportunity to create some undeniable scandal for Yang Hao. Li Yu was swept away by people, but it was actually the servants who
The purpose of their actions was not to create opportunities for Yao Niang, but to make money for themselves.
It turned out that Li Yu believed in Buddhism, so he made fun of the country's laws. Whenever the cases of pending death row prisoners were reported in the Zhai Daily, he would not deal with them according to the law. Instead, he would set up a life lamp for each prisoner and place it in the palace.
In the temple, if the life lamp is kept burning all night, after he comes and checks it early the next morning, the condemned prisoner will be exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to other punishments.
Buddhists have fasting days every month. It is said that a Bodhisattva will come to the world on this day to walk around the world and compare good and evil. If you chant the corresponding Bodhisattva's name on this day, all sins can be eliminated and all blessings can be increased. Li Yu gave his life
If the lamp does not go out, he will be freed from his sin, just to imitate the Bodhisattva. Little did he know that he actually became the Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, to those eunuchs and monks.
After a long time, the entire Tang Dynasty knew this rule. Whenever there was a murder case of a death row prisoner, his family would not hesitate to bribe the palace chamberlain and the monks in the palace. The chamberlain would deliberately postpone his murder case until the chamberlain accepted his money.
Submit it to Li Yu on fasting days, especially when Li Yu is busy with other things, so that he will not be interested in reading the file.
The monks in the palace temple would take care of the death row prisoner's life lamp carefully after receiving the money from the family of the death row prisoner. Even if it was blown out by the wind in the middle of the night or the lamp oil burned out, they would ask the novice monks to secretly light or refill the lamp oil.
Save that man's life. I don't know how many prisoners with heinous crimes were saved because of this.
Since it was such a rule to review the cases of death row prisoners on Sunday, how could Li Yu be like Zhao Kuangyin who carefully reviewed and scrutinized the files one by one, and how could there be any unpleasantness in handling them? He browsed through them in a hurry, signed and deposited them one by one, and then followed the instructions
The old rule was to have the prisoners inscribe their names on the number plates one by one, put a life lamp in front of each plate, and send them to Jingde Temple in the harem.
Li Yu finished processing the death row files that needed to be reviewed at an extremely fast speed. He stretched out his waist and walked excitedly into the garden, waiting for Yang Hao to show him the chess method that he said was relatively new and suspicious. Who would have expected it?
When they arrived at the Juyuan, there was no one there. Li Yu looked around in surprise and ordered the two young chamberlains accompanying him: "I think Yang Zuo is wandering around in the Garden? You two, look around and ask him to come see the lonely king."
The two waiters agreed, and then started looking around the clusters of blooming chrysanthemums.
Yang Hao just went to the pavilion to rest. As soon as he climbed to the pavilion, he suddenly saw a young palace man leading a girl through the flower path. Looking at the figure from the back, he actually looked like Zi Yu. Yang Hao was so surprised that he couldn't help but
Yang Hao chased after him. As a result, he could still find the whereabouts of the beauty in palace clothes while standing on a high place. Once he entered the flowers, it was difficult to find her. After wandering around for a long time, Yang Hao found that he was lost. The clusters of flowers all around were all strange species.
Xianba was not like Juhua. He thought he had broken into other palaces. He also knew that he could not break into the forbidden palace, but... when he thought of Zhe Ziyu, Yang Hao bit the root of his teeth and forced himself along a path.
