Chapter 2145 The Emperor Comes

Zhao Zhen was the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the largest owner of the capital of the Song Dynasty, and the person who mastered the state machine. He was the largest owner of the capital in the world.

He knew the operation of capital very well and understood what the price it would cost to destroy the wealthy families in Dongcheng.

When Lu Yijian's carriage had just left Daxiangguo Temple, Zhao Zhen's carriage also arrived at the backyard of Daxiangguo Temple, which was almost the parking lot of wealthy families who came to Daxiangguo Temple.

The scenery here is nice and there is a large enough place. Zhao Zhen’s carriage seems average, but Lu Yijian recognized it at a glance. He did not recognize the carriage, but the person who drove the car.

Although Sancai was covered with a beard and a hat with a sunshade, his quick eyes and big nose could not be hidden from others.

Lu Yijian was shocked. He never expected that the official carriage would appear in Daxiangguo Temple. He was guilty and guessed in an instant that he had come to Daxiangguo Temple.

More thoughts about the fact that the affairs between the wealthy families in Dongcheng and the Buddhist sect have been exposed?

But then he denied his speculation, it was almost impossible to force the emperor to not know about this. From the beginning, the emperor should have known the "secret" between the two sides.

Then why did the emperor appear here? Is it for the purpose of visiting the garden? Obviously, it is impossible. The scenery of the back garden of the palace is much better than that of here.

The speculations in my heart made Lu Yijian start to panic. The most terrifying thing in the world is speculations about the unknown. The more you guess, the more you become, the more you become.

Has the Buddhist sect compromised with the officials? Or is the purpose of the official sect coming to Daxiangguo Temple to seek Buddhist sect?

Zhao Zhen didn't know that Lu Yijian had discovered his whereabouts, but in fact he wouldn't care even if he found it. Daxiangguo Temple was originally a royal temple, but after Zhao Zhen rejected Buddhism, the status of this royal temple plummeted.

The Zhao family's ancestral temple is in the palace. Zhao Zhen took advantage of the opportunity to move the capital and placed the ancestral temple directly in the palace of Shendu City. At this time, he won two birds with one stone.

Although Daxiangguo Temple is still known as the original name, its status is no longer so important. Its arbitrary opening to ordinary people also means that Daxiangguo Temple is becoming increasingly secular.

When Zhao Zhen was in Tokyo, he often went to and from Daxiangguo Temple. When he was the prince, he was also his frequent visits.

The conflict had not intensified at that time, and Zhao Zhen even had a good influence on Daxiangguo Temple. He had seen children from some poor families, even beggars sneaking into Daxiangguo Temple to steal tributes in front of the Buddhist shrine.

When people are hungry, they will not hesitate to steal food offered to the Buddha even if they are hungry.

The monks in Daxiangguo Temple never drive them away, and even occasionally increase the number of tributes for fear that they will not be enough. This subtle move will be infinitely magnified in such a place as Daxiangguo Temple and cannot be concealed by the world.

Some of the most common fruits, pastries, can get countless things that cannot be bought even if they are not money. Why not do it?

When you find that a person is essentially bad, no matter what you see, it reflects his bad side. Even if you are doing good, you will feel that he is inviting people to buy people's hearts.

Zhao Zhen originally didn't feel this way, but now it's different. But he knew that the monks in Daxiangguo Temple were indeed doing good deeds. They didn't know what it means to win people's hearts, nor did they care about them. They just knew that when they were hungry, the court did not give them food, but the Daxiangguo Temple gave it to them.

This is the gap between the two. The common people would not see how much money Zhao Zhen created for the Song Dynasty, nor would they see that Zhao Zhen fundamentally solved the land annexation that emperors of all dynasties had to cure for thousands of years but had no way to cure.

They would not see that the food prices in the Song Dynasty had stabilized in a range that would hardly fluctuate too much, nor would they see that the imperial court freight for local food every year.

Zhao Zhen made a very simple thing, just let most of the people of the Song Dynasty eat for food, but he is a human and not a god. There is no way to make all the tragedies in the world disappear. There will always be people who will go hungry for various reasons.

So when Zhao Zhen saw a hungry beggar or a poor man thanking the monk at Daxiangguo Temple, his displeasure was like constipation.

Xianjue suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, and the person who came was not good. When he looked back, he found that Zi was standing not far away, staring at a plate of pastries in his hand and the children who were asking for them with a smile on his face.

The movements in his hand were a little stiff, and Xianjue continued to distribute pastries to the children, and at the same time patted their faces full of expectations and said, "Go to the side palace to ask Miaoben for some tea. I'm going to see a distinguished guest."

When the children saw that they often came to Daxiangguo Temple to ask for food. They were very respectful to Xianjue. They timidly gave Zhao Zhen a far away before leaving happily with the pastries on their clothes.

"The official's family is visiting Han Temple, but I have never greeted you, so I am rude!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "I want to thank the master. You helped the court to support these children so that they would not go hungry today. It is my fault that such a thing happened in the Shendu City!"

Xianjue's face changed and then explained with a smile: "The official family is so serious, but a few children are greedy for food. Now in the prosperous era of the country, how can the people not be full!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the Buddha statue next to him. The one worshipped here was not Shakyamuni Buddha, but the Dharmakaya Bilucana Buddha, and a familiar name called Dari Tathagata Buddha.

"Since your Daxiangguo Temple moved to Shendu City, I have almost never been here. I wonder when the Baosha built the Vila Temple?"

Xianjue bowed repeatedly and said, "There was originally only the Daxiong Temple in Daxiangguo Temple. When the Daxiong Temple was repaired half a year ago, there were many more materials, so he built a Vairocana Temple behind to serve the Buddha's Dharma body. However, he was busy with mundane affairs in the temple during this period and had not gone to the Ministry of Works to report it. I hope the officials will forgive me!"

In Shendu City, every building built must be reported to the Ministry of Works. This has become the rule of the court. Even a building is no exception, let alone a hall in the temple? Xianjue was busy working with Lou Shoujian to work on Maitreya, but he forgot about this matter, for fear that Zhao Zhen would use this matter to attack and take the initiative to take the blame.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "The mage is too worried. Who is better than a sage? Besides, the mage was busy with... trivial matters! I naturally won't care, but the Ministry of Works still has to send someone to measure and build the book. Otherwise, once the water leaves, it will only add trouble to the Qianhuo Shop and the Military Patrol Shop."

Xianjue nodded repeatedly and said, "I will go to the Ministry of Works to report this matter tomorrow!"
