Chapter 71 Major Events

Zhao Qi explained everything and embarked on the journey back to Beijing again. This time, except for Zhao Xin, who no one dared to marry, there were only Wangfu, Xifu and ten guards who did not need to marry a wife, and more than 30 guards who had wives and gave birth to children, and the others stayed in Xiangyi for their honeymoon. This time they came back, and they didn't even have to enter the inner city gate. They went directly to the new prince's mansion in Xishui Gate, which was next to Jinmingchi in the north and Qionglin Garden in the south. It was a place with excellent scenery, but there were fewer neighbors and no one lived next to him except restaurants and shops.

The new palace is more than twice the size of the old palace. It took eight months to build the courtyard. The furniture and decorations all come from the palace, with three spans and four inches and three or four hundred rooms, and the project volume is quite large. Look at the inner courtyard, which breaks the common architectural pattern in the north, but is built in imitation of the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and towers are scattered among them. More than a dozen small courtyards are built according to the trend of landscapes, and people are like living in paintings.

"Second Master, this place is completely built according to the winter garden in Xiangyi Prefecture, and the furniture inside is the same as that in there!" Jianxi, who came back early, led the prince to visit and led him into a larger courtyard.

"Oh, it's really the same!" Zhao Xin rushed in and looked into the room first.

"Oh, the body is similar but the spirit is not the same, and there is no feeling like Xiangyi!" Zhao Qi sighed and said with a sigh when he touched Zhuzi, who was still emitting the smell of paint.

"Second Master, this was the instructions of the Empress. She knew that you lived in Xiangyi for a long time, so she deliberately built this yard there!" Jianxi said, and he saw that the prince's face darkened and said nothing and entered the room.

After dinner, several senior officials of the royal palace gathered together again to listen to the situation report of their departure from Beijing so that they could prepare early. If you don’t listen, you won’t know that there are quite a lot of things happening in the capital during this period. The demons in the palace and outside the palace were dancing, and the court and the people were fighting openly and secretly, creating several firsts in the history of the Song Dynasty!













Zhao Ji never left Kaifeng City in his life. He only read ten thousand books and never traveled a hundred miles. The construction of palaces in history was nothing more than gold and silver, or carved bricks and painted tiles. It was all artificial art. Cai Jing was unique. He transported Taihu stones from Su and Huzhou provinces in Jiangnan, cleverly embedded them into the palace, and immediately jumped out of the grand, central and rigidity. Zhao Ji had never seen these masterpieces of nature. He was fascinated by it and ordered a special department in Jiangnan to collect these worthless stones. Soon, a trouble came to him. After the efforts of the vast number of officials in recent years, he had accumulated nearly 100,000 stones, which was too many in the palace. Even if the newly built Yanfu Palace, he still seemed to be stretched. His eyes turned to the earthy mountain outside the inner city.

Speaking of that land mountain is a mountain of meritorious deity, a mountain of legends, there is a kind of trouble that is almost shared by humans. No one can escape or control it - that is the problem of the heirs. It is as if Zhao Guangyi's descendants were cursed, and it was a hard time to have a son. Emperor Zhenzong, Emperor Renzong, and Emperor Zhezong all posted a big fuss about the son's problem, which affected the national economy and people's livelihood. It was Zhao Ji's turn, and the problem still existed. Before he ascended to Dabao, he had more than 40 wives and concubines, but none of them were successful. However, it was just a personal problem at that time. It was different when he became the emperor, and it was rising to the national problem!

Zhao Ji's daily work was not only in court, but he returned to the harem to work overtime, but there was not much trouble. In the crisis, good luck came. Liu Hunkang, a living god, walked around inside and outside Kaifeng and told him that as long as the land in the northeast corner of the capital was raised, the prince would be born in batches. Things were so supernatural. Since the terrain in the northeast corner became higher, the concubines in the harem suddenly became pregnant collectively and really gave birth to a series of boys. Now, the living, dead, and those who died halfway through Zhao Qi were included. Not counting as girls, there were already about twenty. There were no need to find outsiders to organize football matches.

In order to express his gratitude to Taoism and to make his son more, Zhao Ji ordered the rising northeast corner of the capital to double up, turn it into a mountain, and then lengthen it into a mountain range, and move all his stones there. Because it was cultivated by the current emperor for his successor, it was named Wansui Mountain. Because it is located in the northeast corner, it is calculated based on the innate Bagua direction, it is the "Gen" position, so it is nicknamed Gen Yue.

The mountain is ready-made, but if it is decorated well, it will not be easy. Everyone knows that decoration is to paste 100 yuan bills one by one in the house. In some places, two to three floors have to be pasted, which is simply more powerful than an affair. With Zhao Ji's artistic taste, the essence of the Song Dynasty, and the rich production of the land of China, can Gen Yue be imagined? This is simply a matter of poverty alleviation for the whole country to build a mountain of a country that is destroyed, and later generations can use military funds to build a garden with him!

Another major event was the rapid rise of Taoist Lin Lingsu and walked to the altar of the Song Dynasty. It also corresponded to Zhao Qi's words: A traitor must have a genius. If you think of a wild Taoist priest who had no foundation wandering around, it took less than a year to make the prime minister who had dominated the court more than ten years feel a crisis, and he wants to get rid of it quickly. How amazing is that?

After Lin Lingsu gained the trust of the emperor, he used Cai Jing to get rid of Wang Zaixi and took charge of the Baoyu Palace. Then he took the Qingbaolu Palace as a base and often held fasting and ceremonies. He gave a large amount of charity every time, spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of guan to buy people's hearts, making indelible contributions to the prevalence of Taoism across the country. Then he used the opportunity of Taoist priests to set up ranks to win benefits for all Taoist brothers and united them closely around him.

Now that the Taoist priests do not have to show their respect or bow down when they meet officials, this is not just a confrontation, it is simply beyond the best. With power, it means having money. Taoist priests have been repairing the Shenxiao Palace all over the country. The palace and temple commanders are no longer part-time jobs by officials, but are all held by brothers in the sect. Therefore, the generous salary of the palace and temple positions is entered into the small treasury. Finally, it is an ultimate privilege. No matter who commits any crime, except for anti-Song, anti-dictatorship and hereditary, as long as they join Taoism, they will immediately be reborn and become a new person.

In addition, the officials and people in the capital passed the "Yuqing Shenxiao Talisman" to the officials. The Talisman is a certificate of entry into the Tao. Lin Lingsu promised that those who are officials will get it and have a safe official career; those who study, they will be named on the gold list; the people who get it and have a safe family; those who do business have a wealth of money. Anyway, this thing is like a panacea. If you have a disease, you can cure diseases, prevent diseases without illness. Infertile people can give birth to babies, and those who have a baby can give birth to three. In short, there is no harm. Under the strong promotion of Master Lin and with the strong support of the emperor, the officials and people in the capital generally worship the Tao. The lights in the palace are always bright. When everyone meets, they are like "Have you entered?" This is Zhao Ji's dream. The atmosphere of seeking Taoism and believing in Taoism has finally become popular!

Then Lin Lingsu did another shocking event. He actually publicly overturned the case for Yuanyou's old party, kowtowed to the Yuanyou party monument written by the emperor in front of the emperor, and called them gods in the sky. He dared to do this, not only to find the emperor's meridians, but also to consolidate his position, flatter the two eunuchs Liang Shicheng and Tong Guan.

Everyone knows that Eunuch Liang has recognized Su Shi as his father, and asked his "brother" Su Guo to admit that Shi Cheng's biological mother was originally Su Shi's concubine. Tong Guan also wanted to recognize a famous father, but his reputation was not very good. He first discussed with Han Cuiyan, the son of famous prime minister Han Qi, but failed. He also talked with Wang Zhonghong, the son of former Yuanyou Party giant Wang Gui, and then became the illegitimate son of Prime Minister Wang. Of course, the son did not want his father to be a criminal minister. After several efforts, the emperor did not spit, but now Lin Lingsu did it. The gratitude of the two was of course like the water of the Yellow River. The three of them formed an alliance!

The emperor's drunken words aroused Lin Lingsu's murderous intent. Zhao Ji said, "When he was in the sky, he looked at the dense bald heads on the ground, and he was not happy with things like robes, magic crowns, tin staffs, etc.." He immediately recalled the unpleasant experience of becoming a monk when he was young, suffering from abuse from his master, and begging for the cold eyes of monks. How can he not repay the hatred and family hatred of the country!

All changes have to be changed. First, the leadership organization was changed, the management organization Monk Rei is changed to the Deshi Se, and the left and right streets were changed to the Moral Academy. The Moral Office is affiliated with the Moral Academy, and it was first reduced from the root. Then the monk was called Deshi, nuns were called Female Deshi, Buddha was called Jinxian, Bodhisattva was called Immortal, Arhat was called Wulu, Vajra was called Lishi, Monk Reishan, and Monk Reishan, and the certificate was changed according to this. The clothes must also be changed, the crown followed the Taoist flow, and changed to the appearance of a half-taught priest, and even the Buddha statues worshipped must be held. Changes: We must wear a star crown on our heads, but there is no sun, moon, and stars. It is just a dark hat. But this hat is not easy to wear. Who made them bald? But this is not difficult for the monks to survive. They all wigs were put on their wigs, combed them into a bun and put on hairpins, and then tied them around their necks with a strap. It is okay to look far away, but it is not obvious. The dynasties have devastated the Buddha more than once, but monks wear Taoist uniforms, which is the best in Chinese history and even in world history!

. . . . . .

In the early Taoist activities, Cai Jing, Cai You and his son were also one of the initiators, leading the trend and selecting talents. The main characters can be said to be closely related to him. Wang Laozhi, Wang Zaixi, and Zhang Xubai were all recommended by him. He used the obediently and finished the disobediently. It can be said that their actions are all in the control of Cai Jing. These gods with infinite glory in front of others are actually the chess pieces in his hands.

But now, Lin Lingsu has grown up in her wings and is at its peak, so she wants to throw the Cai family and son, draw a line with him, and set up another mountain. Master Cai is very angry: You think your true nature is an unlocked bicycle on the roadside, and you can ride it if you say it, and you can throw it away. You must let you know whether I am a tiger or a cat! So a spark broke out between the famous traitors in history and the famous demons in history. . . . . .
