"If that's the case, we should hurry up." Monk Dahui replied with some effort.
"Going fast is risky, what if I lose?" Zhang Jiucheng was not afraid at all. "Do you really want to fight me?"
Monk Dahui remained silent.
Zhang Jiucheng also felt bored when he saw this, so he stopped the dispute that had broken out countless times and walked away in anger.
As his old friend left, Monk Dahui was helpless and stood up to see him off. The two of them did not part until they reached the intersection in front of the temple. Seeing his old friend leaving in a depressed mood, Monk Dahui could not help but recite a verse.
As the saying goes:
“What is the same as one? Don’t have any delusions.
Even if it reveals the past and present, it is still a monkey trick. "
Turning around and just returning to the courtyard, he met the abbot of the temple again. It turned out that the abbot saw that Monk Dahui was from Tokyo, and he thought that he would be better at chanting sutras in front of the emperor. So after much thought, he wanted Monk Dahui to learn from the practices of the great monks in Daming Temple, and when the emperor arrived in the southeast, he would go there to find a royal affinity for Jingshan Temple.
Monk Dahui had been staying at Jingshan Temple for six or seven years, so how could he refuse? He immediately accepted the offer.
However, when the host left happily, he couldn't help reciting the jingle again.
As the saying goes:
"Tear down the east fence and repair the west wall.
There is no one who is accurate in following the rules of Jingshan.
Is there any accurate one? Who knows?
The monks peeped into the incense kitchen, and the owl bit the ridge of the Buddha hall. "
But in the evening, when the great monk recalled his experiences of the day and wrote these rhymes into a collection, preparing to publish it before his death, this was another matter.
Of course, let's not mention that a good monk did not chant scriptures all day long, but only meditated with rhymes. After a few days, on the other side, Emperor Zhao dragged on in Yangzhou for many days, and when Daming Temple began to suspect that the emperor wanted their temple to be responsible for feeding more than 3,000 soldiers, he finally took action.
That’s right, as the saying goes, the endless fallen leaves are rustling, there is a river between Jingkou and Guazhou, the Yangtze River is flowing eastward, and the autumn wind blows over the south bank of the river... Emperor Zhao finally crossed the Yangtze River on September 15th, under the almost boiling excitement of the scholars and people in the southeast, and arrived at his loyal Liangzhe Road under the attention of all the people.
However, what made the people in the southeast confused was that after crossing the river, this official, who had never liked to follow the rules, still did not go to Hangzhou to meet Prime Minister Lu Yihao. Instead, he stationed most of his troops outside the city of Jinling, and then led only a few hundred cavalrymen through Jiangning Prefecture to the west to Taiping Prefecture (now Dangtu and Wuhu areas).
Some of the meanings are unexpected, but they make sense.
After all, the current governor of Taiping Prefecture is none other than the former prime minister in the early years of Jianyan, Li Gang Li Boji.
Moreover, when the ceremonial procession arrived at Taiping Prefecture, it was not only Li Gang who came to greet him. There also came Yang Yizhong, the commander of the imperial guard, who was supposed to accompany him; Hanlin academicians Fan Zongyin and Lu Benzhong; Ren Baozhong, the gate attendant; Yu Yunwen, the attendant of the imperial court; Mei Li, the attendant of the Secretariat; and Lang Zongying, the secretary.
Everyone came in casual clothes holding gold medals, and then went directly to pay homage, while each presenting a thick booklet.
"Does the emperor suspect the old minister?"
Li Gang was shocked and angry when he saw these close ministers suddenly appearing before him. "So you sent someone to investigate secretly?"
"If I suspected Lord Li, why would I need to send someone to investigate?" Several years later, facing Li Gang whose momentum remained undiminished, Zhao Jiu no longer acted like a puppet. Instead, he closed the document full of forms titled "Shuiyang Town Autumn Tax Survey" in his hand and faced him calmly.
Li Gang was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, and then became gloomy.
