Chapter 179 Big Buddha Temple
Prince Qian was finally persuaded by Chu Tianming.
In other words, the alliance of the three princes was not that solid at first.
The three of them had almost the same thoughts, they were all aiming for Chu Yingrui's throne.
Then no matter who succeeds in the end, the other two will become his enemies.
Sooner or later, the opponent's strength will be weakened, so why not sooner?
"In that case, there is no need for us to hold back."
"Prince Qing's power is mainly in the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Works of the Third Prince Guanzheng is also in the Ministry of Works. Since they first attacked your Ministry of Rites, let's start with the Ministry of Works."
Chu Tianming became interested.
"Ministry of Industry? How do we do this?"
I'm afraid Prince Qian already had a plan in mind.
Chu Tianming gave the answer immediately after asking.
"Do you remember the Big Buddha Temple?"
Chu Tianming nodded.
"Of course I remember. This is the most popular temple near the capital."
King Qian twisted his beard and smiled, "You have said too little. In order to please the Empress Dowager, His Majesty even repaired the Great Buddha Temple without repairing the palace. He also ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a Mother Temple after the Great Buddha Temple to serve as a memorial to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager has a golden body.”
“Now the Mother Temple is about to be completed.”
"You said that there was an accident at the Cimu Temple. What will happen to the relationship between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, which has finally been reconciled?"
The so-called Grand Empress Dowager is naturally the mother of the late emperor who passed the throne to Your Majesty through an imperial edict.
After Chu Yingrui succeeded to the throne, he was very respectful to the Empress Dowager.
But after all, there was no real blood relationship, and the Empress Dowager had always been indifferent to Chu Yingrui. Later, she simply went to Mount Wutai on the pretext of worshiping Buddha.
However, Chu Yingrui had always been impeccable in his treatment of the Grand Empress Dowager, and he even built a temple for her.
But if something happens to the Mother Temple
Chu Yingrui's reputation may also be damaged.
More importantly, this was originally the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry. If something went wrong when the project was about to be completed, the Ministry of Industry would definitely be severely punished by Chu Yingrui.
The third prince, who is now observing government affairs in the Ministry of Works, will certainly not fare well.
How could they continue to undertake the peace talks with Beiliang?
This is like killing two birds with one stone.
It not only affected your majesty's reputation, but also suppressed the third prince.
He truly deserves to be called King Qian.
…
…
Big Buddha Temple.
Several figures sneaked into the Big Buddha Temple.
Needless to say, there were the sisters Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Yueyao who took advantage of the day off to join in the fun at the Big Buddha Temple, the little princess Chu Jiayi who sneaked out of the palace, and her eldest brother Jiang Yuansong who came as a bodyguard.
Chu Jiayi: "There are so many people today!"
Jiang Yuehua: "Of course, today is Buddha's birthday, many people will take this opportunity to come here to burn incense and pray for Buddha's blessing."
Jiang Yueyao: “Wow!”
Jiang Yueyao: ... "But I heard that the most famous thing about this Big Buddha Temple is the Eight Treasure Porridge here? It is said to be super delicious."
Jiang Yuansong looked at his greedy little sister lovingly.
"What Yueyao said is true. The monk porridge in the Big Buddha Temple is indeed very famous, and it is distributed to the people for free on the Buddha's birthday. Many noble families will also take this opportunity to come to the Big Buddha Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, and take a bowl of porridge by the way, just to get a taste of the Buddha's aura."
Jiang Yueyao licked her lips.
"When will the porridge be distributed? I can't wait."
[Do I need to bring my own cutlery? ]
[There are quite a few bowls and chopsticks in this fairy's (space), but it would be a bit too shocking to take them out suddenly]
[However, this place is not far from Zuixianlou. If you need to bring your own bowls and chopsticks, you can go to Zuixianlou to get a few sets first.]
I have to say that Jiang Yueyao is a very considerate little fairy.
When I think about eating porridge, I immediately think about bringing my own bowl and chopsticks.
The three people who heard Jiang Yueyao's thoughts at the same time couldn't help but laugh.
"We're here a little early. Congee is usually not served until the afternoon. Why don't we just walk around here?"
"The Big Buddha Temple is very popular, the scenery is beautiful, and there are some exquisite murals left by our ancestors."
Jiang Yuansong glanced at the little princess consciously as he spoke.
"Have you ever been to the Big Buddha Temple, Your Highness?"
Chu Jiayi blushed slightly when she met Jiang Yuansong's gaze.
"I have been here before, but the last few times I came here I was accompanying the Empress Dowager to burn incense. I came in a hurry and left immediately, and I didn't take a good look around here."
"If possible, please ask Brother Jiang to show us around."
Jiang Yuansong: ... "Your Highness is too polite. In that case, why don't you take a few people to the mountain wall in the backyard? I'm sure you will like the murals there. The Ci Ma Temple built by His Majesty for the Grand Empress Dowager is also there. Princess Zhang Jungong may want to take a look at the Ci Ma Temple Collection. You can also tell His Majesty about it after returning to the palace."
Chu Jiayi: ... "Okay, thank you, Brother Jiang."
Jiang Yuehua and Jiang Yueyao on the side: ...
I always feel that the atmosphere between these two people is a bit weird.
Jiang Yueyao still tilted her head, not quite sure what was wrong.
Jiang Yuehua smiled slightly and guessed about 70% of it.
It seems that spring has arrived, and my brother’s spring has also arrived.
…
…
Just as Jiang Yueyao and the other three were preparing to head towards the back mountain, a pair of eyes could not help but follow them from behind.
"Why are they here too?"
Chu Wuxun frowned slightly.
A chubby little head popped up beside Chu Wuxun and looked at the four figures gradually moving away in the distance.
"Wow, it's Miss Jiang Er."
"Master, what a coincidence! You and Miss Jiang are truly destined to be together."
Xue Lang can be quite clever sometimes.
Jiang Yueyao's title has been changed from Miss Jiang Liu to Miss Jiang Er.
Chu Wuxun glanced at Xue Lang helplessly.
"What fate? Didn't you see the little princess, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, and the eldest master of the Jiang family were there?"
A 'I understand' smile appeared on Xue Lang's chubby face.
"Hehehe, yes, yes, the prince is right."
"Prince, you are not only connected to Miss Jiang Er, but also to the entire Jiang family."
"But speaking of why Miss Jiang is here... isn't today Buddha's birthday? The monk porridge at the Big Buddha Temple is super delicious. Miss Jiang must have brought the little princess here to drink porridge."
As he spoke, Xue Yi licked his lips subconsciously, then nodded heavily to show that what he said was correct.
“It’s really delicious!”
Chu Wuxun: ...
Was he lacking Xue Lang to eat or to drink?
How could this family become like this?
The key is...
A voice in his heart told Chu Wuxun.
What Xue Lang said is probably true.
Xue Lang saw that his prince was still looking serious.
I can't help but make a very thoughtful suggestion.
"My Lord, do you need your men to help you and Miss Jiang meet by chance?"
He is really a good subordinate of Da Chu.
That’s so thoughtful.
Chu Wuxun: ...
"What kind of chance encounter? Don't you think about why we came to the Big Buddha Temple today? They suddenly appeared here..."
Chu Wuxian shook his head and rejected Xue Lang's unreliable proposal.
However, a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for these people to appear here today.
