Chapter 270 Prince Zhao Zongmeng

Qin Minxue was a little stunned when he looked at the royal palace of Handong County not far away. He had seen a lot of royal palaces, big and small, but most of them were in the capital. The royal palace of Handong County was not in the capital, and it had such a scale. This was very rare in the current dynasty. Who was the king of Handong? It can't be no wonder that the Song Dynasty was so many years after the founding of the country, There are countless kings. These people take the salary of the court, and few people work for the court as officials. This is why a person can get a chicken and a dog to ascend to heaven, but it is different to be a prince. Although there are many kings in the Song Dynasty, the prince's son only inherits the prince, and only those who are virtuous will enter the crown prince.

This royal palace made Qin Minxue very curious. He immediately sent someone to inquire. The entourage came back and reported that the king of Handong was Zhao Zongxun. Qin Minxue couldn't help but take a breath. Now in Zhao Zongxun's territory, Zhao Zongxun is the younger brother of the current emperor Song Yingzong Zhao Shu. King Pu has three wives, Zhao Shu and Zhao Zongxun was born to the Yuanfei Wang family. If Zhao Zhongzhen finds his uncle Zhao Zongxun here, he will definitely be sent back to the capital soon.

However, when Qin Min learned to calm down and thought about it, he suddenly remembered something. On that day, in the hanging arch hall, Emperor Yingzong clearly said, "If Zhong Pin doesn't come back early, Zhao Hao is young. In case the empress dowager urges the matter of the crown prince, how does Zhao Hao compare with Zhao Zongmin?" Zhao Zongqin is also a candidate for the throne. Isn't it more troublesome for him and Gao Gonghui to establish Zhao Hao? No, he has to meet Zhao Zongqin to see what kind of person he is. He made up his mind and changed into a casual clothes and went to the royal palace of Handong County.

Several bodyguards in front of the royal palace in Handong County saw a young man who wanted to see the prince, and also saw the famous post handed over by Qin Minxue, secretary Cheng. What kind of official position is this? There are many people who usually come to see the prince. Especially recently, there have been many officials and princes in the two prefectures of Guangnan Road, but I have never heard of the official position of secretary Cheng. Seeing that Qin Minxue is not very old, I guess he also wants to ask the prince for a promotion. Therefore, the bodyguard is not polite to Qin Minxue: "The prince is not in the house."

Qin Minxue was a little unwilling to send Qin Minxue away in this way, but he thought that he came from the capital after all. Anyway, if the prince was in the house, the bodyguard did not dare not report it. He returned to his residence and his entourage reported to him that Wang and King Ying had left the city, but the others were still there, and Wang Bing did not bring more bags. Qin Minxue estimated that they did not go far, and told the entourage to stare carefully,

Wang Bian and others also just arrived in Shaozhou. After entering Guangnan Road, Wang Bian's mood was much more relaxed. After walking for more than ten days in a row, Su Xiaomei and Zhao Zhongzhen were a little tired. Wang Bian was going to stay in Shaozhou for a few days. They found a mid-range but clean mansion. As soon as they lived in Zhongzhen, they were clamoring to go to Nanhua Zen Temple. Nanhua Zen Temple is more than 20 miles away from Shaozhou. If you want to go to Shangxiang, it will take two days to go there. Chen Kang and Mr. Hou grinned. Now they will go up the mountain to stay in the Zen Temple tonight. Tomorrow morning, they will come back. These people are tired all the way, not to mention that Chen Kang is still lame,

Seeing that Zhong Jian insisted on going, Wang Bian arranged Hou Shuxian and Chen Kang to rest in the di store, and Wa Zhuang stayed to take care of these two. Zhe Kejun and other attendants followed them, secretly protected them, and then asked Su Xiao. Seeing that Su Xiao's face was white, he frowned and shirked his physical discomfort. The woman was in trouble. Of course, Wang understood, so he did not specifically invite them. Su Xiao, accompanied Zhong Pin out of the city to Nanhua Zen Temple,

As soon as they arrived at the foot of Nanhua Zen Temple, they suddenly saw a large team of people on the opposite side. This team of people looked like one or two hundred people. The people walking in the front are different from ordinary people. Most people will dismount at the bottom of the mountain and then walk up the mountain. Naturally, it is walking down the mountain, and this team of people The leader of the middle was riding a horse arrogantly. He also followed two bodyguards in soldiers' clothes, and there were one or two hundred bodyguards behind him.

Seeing this team, Zhong Pin hurriedly flashed behind the king, nervously pulled the skirt of the king's clothes, and lowered his head and dared not come out. Fortunately, Zhang Ping and Han Derong, who secretly protected them, walked over. Three strong men blocked Zhao Zhongpin. Seeing the two people passing in front of them, Zhong Pin had a long sigh. In a tone, he scratched his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death."

Wang saw Zhong Jian's nervous expression and carefully recalled the man's appearance just now. The description was somewhat similar to Zhao Shu, and looking at the man's clothes and manners, the appearance of the trip was also very similar to a prince: "Who is this person? I don't know him."

Zhao Zhongzhen said in shock, "He is the Prince of Handong, my uncle. He seldom goes to the capital. It's normal that you don't know him, but I rarely see him." Wang couldn't help asking, "Then why are you nervous? Are you afraid that he will recognize you?"

There were few pedestrians on the road, and the team had gone far away. Several people next to Wang walked to Nanhua Zen Temple. Zhong said to Wang as he walked, "Can I not be nervous? Although I saw him less, I just met him during the Spring Festival. What if he recognizes me and wants to send me back?"

Wang Zan smiled and said, "If someone sends you back, I'm relieved. However, just now, he saw the spring breeze and the horse's hoof disease. I'm afraid he may not recognize you with such a mistake. What's more, who would have thought that you would be in Shaozhou." After he finished his words, he saw that Zhong Jian was meditating. Wang thought that this boy had a lot of ideas. He said that he went all the way to the south. Zhong Jian didn't say a word about returning to Beijing. I really don't know what he was thinking.

The Nanhua Temple is built on the mountain. The peaks are beautiful and the ancient trees are lush. As soon as Wang Bian and Zhongpin entered the mountain gate, there were acquaintances and monks who came forward to salute. Wang Bian now realized that modern people regard going to the temple as a tourist attraction, and although the ancients went to the temple to enjoy it, there were many things to pray and sincerely, and the temple There are also monks who are responsible for arranging the food and accommodation of the morant. The king explained his intention, and the monk promised to help them arrange a resting Zen room. At this time, it was past noon, and few plunders were very quiet in the Zen courtyard. Wang Bian and Zhong went out of the Zen room and walked in the Zen temple to enjoy this thousand-year-old temple.

After the Caoxi Gate of the temple, there is a release pool. Through the Baolin Gate to the Tianwang Hall, the statue of Maitreya Buddha is worshipped in the center of the hall, the statue of Wei Tuo in the back, and the four statues of the King are sculpted on both sides. When you walk to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is a platform in front of the hall, surrounded by a cloister. The front of the hall is shaped with three Buddha statues, which are solemn in shape. The left and right walls and the back walls are painted with clay sculptures. The statue of a hundred arhats has a strange shape. The real body of the six ancestors Hui Neng, who is worshipped in the six ancestors' hall, is lifelike. The six ancestors Hui Neng is sitting, his legs and feet are coiled in the cass, his hands are folded in front of his abdomen to make a fixed shape, his eyes are closed, and his face is thin, showing a detached temperament of self-understanding,

The two people worshipped the sixth ancestor Huineng and left the hall. After walking to the temple, there was a look at Zhuo Xiquan on the right. Seeing that the spring water was clear, the king told Zhong Jian. It is said that the sixth ancestor Huineng often washed the cass cass cass here. Zhao Zhong needle took a look at the king and said with a smile, "I used to only Brother Wang is the best at financial management. When I walk with you today, I know that Brother Wang also knows how to worship Buddha. It's better to let me test you. How about it? If you answer correctly, I will listen to you from today on. If you answer wrong,~~~" He deliberately didn't say that he was waiting for Wang's answer,

This boy guesses that there is something wrong. He bet with this boy that if one day he really became the emperor, if he doesn't want to listen to himself, he won't die. However, it seems that the boy seems to have something on his mind all the way. It's better to listen to what he wants to do. The king smiled and said, "If the answer is wrong, then I'll listen to you. "

"Good." Zhong Pin folded a fan in his hand and patted: "I have to come to Nanhua Zen Temple today. On the one hand, I want to pray for the luck of the Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, I want to visit the sixth ancestor Huineng Zen master. There is a stry in the Six Ancestors in the Altar Sutra, which is mentioned here.

If there is archaeology in the world, there is nothing that can defeat the king, not to mention that verse is very famous. The king thought for a moment, since he wanted to lose, he could not say right, so he deliberately said by mistake, "Is it this sentence, the body is like a bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, and you wipe it diligently, don't provoke the dust?"

Zhong Cun really didn't notice that Wang was intentional. He said proudly, "Brother Wang, you remember wrong. This is his brother's s sniper. What the sixth ancestor said is: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing to provoke dust. Now you admit defeat."

The king laughed twice and pretended to be embarrassed: "Yes, the bodhi tree is empty, the mirror platform is also empty, and the body and heart are empty. How can it provoke dust when there is nothing? It seems that King Ying's meditation is more thorough. I admit defeat. What do you want me to do?

Zhong Pin stopped, looked at the king, and said his thoughts as if he had made up his mind for a long time: "If you really listen to me, I want you to go back to the capital with me and ask my father for an order to attack Xixia." Zhong Jian came to Wang's side this time. He had long wanted Wang's side to go back to the capital with him. He always felt that Wang's resignation was dissatisfied with his father. If only Wang's side was willing to go back with him. Zhao Zhongzhen felt that Wang's side was an excellent candidate for attacking Xixia.

The king also knows that if the imperial court refuses to accept it, it is not a fault in the Song Dynasty, but if he and Zhong Cining go back, he will continue to obey Yingzong. What's more, he doesn't want to fight Xixia at all. In his heart, whether he is from Xixia or Liao, they are all Chinese. Of course, this is the idea of modern people, but how How can you persuade Zhao Zhongzhen not to feel that he is saging? He thought for a moment and said, "Zhongzhen, do you know why your father didn't send troops to confront Xixia head-on?"

Zhao Zhongzhen thought for a moment: "I think my father is a little cowardly, and most of them are civil servants in the court. Even if there is a war, there are no generals to send."

The king shook his head: "Zhong Pin, you are your father..."

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes widened. There had always been a gap between Wang Bian and his father. Why did he suddenly turn to his father?
