Before Huo Cenji came to St. Ann's Temple, he asked his men to deliver the letter first. Therefore, St. Ann's Temple, which used to be crowded with pilgrims, now looks a bit deserted sitting in the shade of trees.
As soon as Huo Cenji entered, a young monk came up to him and asked in a friendly manner:
"But His Royal Highness the Regent?"
Huo Cenji nodded, and the young monk understood. He walked in front and led Huo Cenji to Master Huide.
When Huo Cenji sent someone to deliver the message, they already understood that the person coming was probably the emperor who would succeed Daqi.
Although Sheng Ansi had passed away, they could not help but hear some news from the outside world. When they heard that Huo Cenji led his troops to besiege the capital, they already understood -
It is inevitable that the world will change hands.
However, they did not expect that the Regent would actually come to Sheng'an Temple in person just to ask Master Huide to pray for his enthronement.
Therefore, they did not dare to be negligent, for fear that they would do something inappropriate and offend the regent.
The young monk respectfully brought Huo Cenji to the Minghua Hall, nodded to indicate that Master Huide was there, and invited him in for a talk.
Stopping outside the Minghua Palace, Huo Cenji looked at the sparkling glazed tiles on the roof and nodded slightly.
Master Huide once personally prayed for Tang Yu's enthronement ceremony. At that time, he had seen Huide with a kind face from afar, but he never thought that he would have the chance to see him a second time in the future.
Perhaps it was the influence of the sandalwood, Huo Cenji became much calmer and composed than before. He looked at the majestic golden Buddha statue without any emotional fluctuations.
He just hoped to finish the work as soon as possible and return to the palace.
Most likely it was because during the years of separation from Tang Yu, he had only endless hatred in his heart, so now he cherishes the days with Tang Yu.
Huo Cenji walked in silently. As he got closer to the golden Buddha statue, he finally saw Master Huide sitting cross-legged on the cushion.
Huide seemed unaware of someone coming, and continued to recite scriptures with his eyes closed. The Buddhist beads in his hand were round and translucent, and his white beard revealed a bit of ethereal air.
Huo Cen stood silently for a moment and did not say a word to interrupt Huide's recitation.
Not until the incense in front of the incense table had burned out did Huide slowly open his eyes and looked at Huo Cenji with some approval in his eyes:
"The Regent has been waiting."
"It's only the time of an incense stick, not a long wait." Huo Cenji restrained the murderous look between his brows and smiled slightly, revealing a bit of gentleness.
"I know what the Regent has done, but Your Highness, would you allow me to examine your palm?"
Huide knew Huo Cenji was extremely valuable just by looking at his face, but it would be safer to look at his palm.
The one who ascends the throne must also have his own "luck", otherwise how can he bear the rise and fall of the country?
Huo Cenji knew that these so-called monks liked to observe people's fortunes, but because he was thinking about returning to the palace as soon as possible, he cooperated and spread out his palms.
No matter what the conclusion is, it will not affect his ascension to the throne because he only believes in himself.
So why should we be trapped by a few words?
However, after Master Huide carefully examined his palm, he did not say anything he did not want to hear. Instead, he stroked his white beard and nodded repeatedly:
"Good! Good! This is what I have prayed for!"
His sighs could not conceal his excitement. Master Huide's eyes sparkled and he laughed heartily:
"I will definitely pray for your coronation ceremony, Your Highness!"
Born with the appearance of an emperor, with purple aura everywhere.
Huo Cenji is destined to be emperor!
He naturally has to follow God's will!
Originally, he wanted to see the new emperor's character and magnanimity today. Huo Cenji was able to wait patiently for him to recite the scriptures, and his demeanor was noble and extraordinary. Before observing his fortune, he had already approved of him to a certain extent.
So Huide looked at Huo Cenji with a smile, as if he saw Daqi's bright future.
Huo Cenji was not upset by Huide's high evaluation, but smiled faintly, with his eyebrows and eyes like a landscape ink painting, showing a calm and self-control.
For some reason, although Huo Cenji clearly did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he felt particularly calm standing in the hall.
This kind of calmness even gave rise to some delusions in him—
"If you cannot find the medicine, then pray to Buddha."
Then how much can this Buddha protect Tang Yu?
He was not greedy and did not ask Tang Yu to live a hundred years. He only asked to give Tang Yu a little more time, one more day would be better.
Huo Cenji then pondered for a moment, then asked Huide in a humble tone:
"Master, I would like to ask for a peace amulet. Is that possible?"
"Of course." Huide nodded and asked, "Who are you asking for this? For yourself or someone else?"
"Others." Huo Cenji lowered his eyes, and when he thought of Tang Yu, even his eyes couldn't help but become softer.
"Please write down the name of that person, and I will make a talisman for you personally." Huide clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.
In fact, this person's good fortune is the most reliable "amulet". As long as the person mentioned by the Regent is not far away from the Regent, this fortune can also have some influence.
However, since the Regent personally asked for the talisman, he must not be negligent.
But when Huo Cenji put down the pen and paper, revealing the name written on the paper, even Huide, who had practiced for many years, couldn't help showing a bit of surprise in his eyes:
"Is this the name of the current emperor?"
Huo Cenji's eyebrows twitched, and he asked calmly, "But what's wrong?"
"No, I just didn't expect that His Highness would have such a broad mind..." Huide sighed. She didn't expect that Huo Cenji would succeed to the throne soon, and now he was praying for the safety of the emperor who was about to abdicate.
"But..." Huide frowned, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
"But what?" Huo Cenji asked, his heart a little hanging.
