Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 489 Mo Li did it on purpose

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "Look, on one side there's a charming atmosphere, and on the other side there's a bleak air, as if Master's heart is filled with contradictions."

Liao Fan was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Huang's attainments in Buddhism and calligraphy have reached such a high level."

Emperor Gai Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Mo Li stood up and said, "Third Master, I came to see Master Fan because I have something important to discuss. Can we discuss this calligraphy and painting matter at another time?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Can't I just walk around and take a look?"

Mo Li said, "You can go for a walk and see, go for a walk and see."

Liao Fan looked at the Emperor and said, "This donor Huang looks very elegant. I think he is either a wealthy businessman or from an official family."

Mo Li said two words in pairs.

Le Fan continued, "I have vowed to rebuild the golden statue in the temple. I wonder if Mr. Huang would be willing to donate a little."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Very good, very good. I just saw that the distance from the mountain gate to the backyard is indeed a bit narrow. It would be better to buy another piece of land and build another temple."

Le Fan bowed with one hand and said with a smile, "Amitabha, it is truly a blessing for our nunnery that Donor Huang has such a kind intention."

Emperor Gai Zhang and Mo Li looked at each other and said, "Then let's go to Gui'an."

Mo Li said: "Uh... I think this is unnecessary."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "You said you wanted to relax, but how can you relax if you don't walk?"

Mo Li couldn't persuade him, so he nodded and agreed.

Le Fan gestured for them to come in and walked in front. Gai Zhangdi followed her. Mo Li, who was behind, shook his head helplessly.

……

"Master Le Fan, when was this Jixiang Temple built and by whom?" Emperor Gai Zhang suddenly asked as the two were walking on the road.

Le Fan said, "I'm not sure, but it was probably during the Song Dynasty."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Is that the Southern Song Dynasty or the Northern Song Dynasty?"

Le Fan said, "I haven't verified it either."

He turned to look at Mo Li and continued, “Master Mo, you should know.”

Mo Li said, "Oh, this temple was built by the Prince of Huai during the Northern Song Dynasty to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. The name Jixiang Temple means to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, so that the incense will last forever."

Le Fan saluted with one hand and said, "Master Mo is indeed a man of extraordinary learning."

Mo Li also returned the greeting and said, "Excuse me, excuse me. I wonder if the abbot knows where the dungeon of Jixiang Temple is."

"Dungeon?" Le Fan was stunned and laughed, "Master Mo, you really know how to tell a joke. How can there be a dungeon in this small nunnery?"

Mo Li smiled and said, "In the third year of Emperor Zhenzong's reign, the Prince of Huai built a dungeon and imprisoned those who expressed dissent in Jiangnan until they died. This Jixiang Temple was burned down by later generations to vent their anger. It wasn't rebuilt until the Yuan Dynasty. But I don't think this dungeon was burned down."

Emperor Gai Zhang blurted out: "Look at our Grand Secretary, he has a photographic memory."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Master Huang, whenever I go to a place, I collect and review the local historical records. I'm afraid I'll miss any famous places and return empty-handed."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Lu Fan and said, "Master Lu Fan, do you know where the dungeon is?"

Le Fan thought that since there was no one in the dungeon anyway, what was the harm in taking them there?

Mo Li was afraid that she would be reluctant, so he said, "Master Liao Fan, our Third Master Huang loves to explore strange things, so he must be very interested in the dungeon. Could you lead the way for us so that he can take a look?"
