My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 208 Emperor Wu of Liang

"That--"

Zhang Fawei was about to ask, but the monk in front of him suddenly frowned.

"The old monk suddenly remembered that there are still some debris that have been accumulated for many years in the temple and needs to be dealt with. He will say goodbye first——"

Looking at the old monk Faneng who immediately made an excuse to leave as soon as he heard Zhang Fawei's questioning, Zhang Fawei could only smile bitterly.

This senior is really getting better and better as he gets older.

How come a child has such a bad temper? I don’t know how the disciples below deal with such a weird temper.

However, thinking of Faneng's dodgey eyes when he just left, a flash of thought flashed between Zhang Fawei's brows.

The Wanfo Temple has a glorious history and flourished in the Southern Dynasties. What happened in the past few days?What kind of vision could make this respected Buddhist leader so taboo.

He didn't even hesitate to end the topic in such a lame way.

Zhang Fawei had a vague feeling that something big might have happened to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.

No matter what the people below had their own thoughts, Zhu Houcong, who had just stood up, looked at Zhu Changning, who was wearing a half-mask and looking absent-minded, with a flash of helplessness on his face.

Little bastard, can we use a little snack?Are you leaving this to fool me?
"Your Majesty, I have already sent people to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple and arranged for them to be waiting."

After the sacrifice was completed, Wang Zuo quickly came to Zhu Houcong's side and whispered in his ear.

Zhu Houcong nodded, indicating to wait for him for a moment, and called Zhu Changning who was wandering in the sky.

"You stay in Jinling City to look after the house - I have some important things to do."

Sure enough, after hearing that he could finally relax for a while and get rid of his annoying old father, Zhu Changning's face became ferocious because he wanted to smile but did not dare to laugh.

"You can go with peace of mind! I will help you keep an eye on Nanjing City!"

Work hard!That’s weird!
Let’s go to Zui Chun Tower to watch my girls dance!
As soon as he entered Nanjing, he was dazzled by the prosperity of Jinling. He longed to spread his wings and experience the life of Jinling, which was different from the rich and small nobles in Qingzhou and countless times more prosperous than the capital. Zhu Changning could not wait. .

Seeing Zhu Changning in front of him who was so decisive and firm in his eyes, as if he believed I was right, how could Zhu Houcong not know her little thoughts.

"You can have fun, but remember to tell the guards in advance in case something happens and you can't find anyone."

Regarding this little brat, Zhu Houcong had almost given up on trying to get her back on track.

Now Zhu Houcong's bottom line has become that as long as this little brat doesn't do evil, doesn't bully men and dominate women, and knows how to deal fairly, he will be satisfied.

Zhu Houcong boarded the carriage secretly heading outside Jinling City.

When leaving, he was about to turn around and ask Zhu Changning to pay attention not to be too extravagant and wasteful in these few days. By the way, he would use this time as a way to return some of the gifts Zhu Houcong's cronies received from Jinling officials.

But Zhu Changning, who had just smiled and smiled to the root of his mouth, waving goodbye to Zhu Houcong, saw Zhu Houcong turn around, his expression returned to calm, and he tried to make a distorted expression of grief.

Zhu Houcong lowered his head and remained silent, silently taking back the words that had reached his throat.

Forget it - that's it, don't rely too much on her.

Said to Wang Zuo.

"Let's go! Go to Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple!"

……

"Thousands of miles oriole crows, green reflects red, water village, mountain, country and wine flag wind. In the Southern Dynasties, there were 480 temples, how many buildings were in the mist and rain."

The prosperity of the past can no longer be recalled, leaving only broken bricks and tiles to leave people with sentimental feelings. "Dear guest—come with me. The abbot has been waiting for you two in the Zen room for more than a while!"

The young novice at the door saw the black carriage that he had been told to pay attention to in advance.

The carriage was covered with black cloth, obviously not wanting too many people to know the identity of its owner.

The driver driving the car has a strong back, bright eyes, and looks like a martial artist.

The carriage owner who got off the carriage looked young, but his facial features were somewhat hazy for some reason, making it hard to see clearly.

The little novice monk walked over, and in just a moment, he had forgotten the appearance of the carriage owner.

He couldn't help but look up again, and this time he forgot all his questions and worries.

"Watch the steps——"

The doubts turned into whispers of reminders before they were spoken. The young man smiled and nodded, making the little novice subconsciously feel a little warm in his heart for some reason.

Several people were walking on the ancient bluestone steps renovated for Wanfo Temple during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. Because it had rained a few days ago, there was a little water in the potholes on the steps.

The novice monks along the way carefully guided the guests going up the mountain not to step into puddles and soil their clothes.

After going up the mountain and entering the temple, Zhu Houcong took out two copper coins for the first time, which were the Jiajing Tongbao newly minted by the imperial court this year.

At the end of last year, it was sent to Zhu Houcong as a sample for selection, but now it has come in handy.

Wanfo Temple is indeed a large temple with profound heritage, and the temple is full of incense.

From time to time, wealthy businessmen who came and went spent a lot of money to recast the golden body of the Buddha.

The big Buddha facing the mountain gate is obviously old and has been carefully repaired by later generations. Although there are some cracks, the temple hired masons to repair it carefully and painted it with gold paint. At first glance, it looks brand new.

"I don't know which master's craftsmanship it is, but this Buddha head carving is really lifelike."

Wang Zuo looked at the huge golden Buddha head on the Buddha's clay body above his head. The Buddha's eyebrows were lowered, seeming to sympathize with the suffering of the world. His appearance was touching.

Hearing the compliment, the little novice walking in front showed a smile on his face.

Every pilgrim who comes here for the first time will express such admiration after seeing the huge Buddha head above his head. This is also one of the things that Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is proud of.

Even if he is just a young novice, he will not hesitate to puff up his chest when he sees the Buddha's image being so praised.

"This Buddha head actually has an amazing story, right?"

The young novice in front of him saw that the young man was also attracted when he heard the words. He looked up at the Buddha statue and explained with a smile.

It was September 529th in the third year of Datong ([-]). Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, went to Tongtai Temple to become a monk for the second time and participated in the Wu Zha Conference.

He took off his dragon robe, put on monk's robes, and explained the Mahaparinirvana Sutra with the monks. On the 25th, the ministers donated 27 million, prayed to the "Three Treasures", and requested the redemption of the "Emperor Bodhisattva". On the [-]th, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Derived from the vulgar.

It is said that at that time, Emperor Wu of Liang was still the horse-riding emperor who was accustomed to traveling in carriages and horses. He was not as aloof from political affairs as he was later, doting on foreign ministers and alienating relatives.

In my heart, I still have the ambition to restore the North to the Central Plains.

Otherwise, he would not have sent Chen Qingzhi to escort Yuan Yu back to the Northern Wei Dynasty to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when the Heyin Revolution broke out in the Northern Wei Dynasty two years ago.

Not to mention sending Xiahou Kui, the governor of Sizhou, and Zhan Sengzhi, the governor of Qiaozhou, to the Northern Expedition to conquer the three passes of Pingping, Muling and Yinshan.
