A bucket of Jiangshan [Rebirth]

When Yan Shulou heard the news, he was only shocked for a moment, and then returned to normal.It was within his expectation that Yanpin City would be released.

It turned out that Yan Pincheng found a servant who didn't know where he came from, and helped him cover the crime, saying that the servant stole his private seal, bought a piece of land, and sold this precious land to a wealthy businessman to build a house , but due to incomplete procedures, the name on the land deed of this mansion was always Yan Pincheng's, and had not been changed to that of a wealthy businessman.As for the voodoo technique that appeared in the mansion, it was because the servant accidentally saw Du Mingqian when he was out of the palace and felt jealous of his appearance, so he used voodoo technique in the mansion to assassinate Du Mingqian.This excuse, which seems reasonable, is actually full of loopholes.

For one thing, the name of the land deed cannot be transferred, so how could a wealthy businessman be willing to buy a house.Secondly, Du Mingqian seldom went out, and he had no contact with the servant, so how could he have the intention of harming others just by meeting him a few times.However, the Son of Heaven actually accepted such rhetoric and released Yanpin City.

But the emperor was also shrewd. He was afraid that if he released the person directly, it would cause criticism, so he said that the matter was ultimately related to the improper supervision of Yanpin City. Major crimes can be forgiven, but minor crimes must be punished. The time will come out, and De Jieyu's status will not change. As for Yan Pincheng's grandfather, the investigation will be stopped.

After Yan Shulou heard this moderate punishment, he felt a little sullen, knowing that the emperor favored Yan Pincheng and was afraid of his family, but he didn't think that the emperor was partial to this, and he was only punished to close the door and think about his mistakes, but not to punish him.But anyway, after this incident, Yan Pincheng's private house in the east of the city will also be sealed up, and the loss is big enough.Furthermore, even if Yan Pincheng can come out, he is not his opponent, he has many ways to deal with Yan Pincheng.

Before Yanpincheng came out, he had to please his father first, and transfer his father's love for Yanpincheng to himself.

On this day, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household came out first and reported to the emperor. Recently, there has been a large area of ​​drought in the south of the Jing Dynasty, and the people have no crops and live in hardship.Play to ask the emperor to ask if he wants to help the local people.

The Son of Heaven deliberated over and over again, and decided to investigate the disaster and examine the households, and provide relief to the local people according to the degree of disaster. If there are extremely poor victims, the relief will be added according to the actual situation.After the order was completed, the emperor felt that the drought in the south occurred almost every year, and he expressed his deep sorrow, so he decided to ask Qin Tianjian to pick a good day, and he wanted to sacrifice to the sky to pray for rain.

The ministers reconsidered and shouted the emperor's righteousness.

Yan Shulou also bent over to boast a few words in a formal manner, but after the court meeting, he silently remembered the matter in his heart.

After the Son of Heaven offered sacrifices to the heavens to pray for rain, Yan Shu Tower woke up early in the morning after praying for rain. He picked up Du Mingqian who was still sleeping in bed, and said that today he would go to Chenghuang Temple to offer incense and pray for the common people.

Du Mingqian hadn't woken up yet. Yan Shulou went crazy yesterday. He rolled around on the bed and started to move his hands and feet. He had no choice but to wrap all fours around Yan Shulou tightly to prevent him from moving, so that he fell asleep in a daze.So this morning, when Yan Shulou woke up, he patted him ambiguously, and said earnestly: "Mingyu, you don't have to be so active. I know you want it, but you are not in good health. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Let's talk about it later!"

Du Mingqian wanted to cry but had no tears.

Being carried into the carriage, Du Mingqian was still sleepy and dazed: "My lord, aha..." The bumpy carriage made him sleepier, "What are you going to do?"

"Did you stop talking just now? Go to the Town God's Temple to offer incense and pray for the common people." Yan Shulou picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth. eat.

Will Yan Shulou do these things kindly?Du Mingqian didn't believe it anymore: "My lord, are you serious?"

"Naturally!" Yan Shulou seemed to be caught in the pain, and exploded, "You still doubt it."

"Of course not." Du Mingqian turned his face away, put one hand on the window sill, and smiled. He never doubted Yan Shulou, he was directly sure that Yan Shulou was playing on the spot.

Yanshu Tower is really a play, a play specially made for the emperor and the common people.When he got out of the carriage, he was about to pull Du Mingqian out of the carriage, but Du Mingqian wanted to get down later on the grounds that he was not feeling well in the carriage.Yan Shulou cared about Du Mingqian, and he didn't want to force it. After calling Yan Xin to take care of Du Mingqian, he got out of the car by himself.

The abbot who heard the news had been waiting outside the temple early, and even made people shun ordinary people who came to burn incense. When Yan Shulou saw the abbot, he was deliberately surprised and asked why the abbot came out to greet him in person.He hurriedly asked the abbot to go back, saying that he didn't want to say anything, and asked the abbot to let ordinary people into the temple.

The abbot got the order, thanked Yan Shulou for his kindness, and called someone to do it.

Therefore, Yan Shulou entered the temple to offer incense together with ordinary people in public.Of course, because of his special status, the people also consciously retreated when he entered the temple, and then entered after he finished offering incense.

Yan Shulou bought incense, and gave the abbot a lot of money, and took the incense himself to the Buddha, kneeling on the futon, with his back straight, praying for the disaster-stricken people in the south, and praying for heavy rain, the voice is not loud, but It can be clearly transmitted to the ears of the nearby people, and the hearts of all the people are moved.

He kowtowed three times, put the incense into the incense burner, and Yan Shulou bowed three more times, donating a large amount of sesame oil money, showing his sincerity to the fullest with practical actions.

The abbot was so happy that he got a large sum of sesame oil money, his white beard turned up in joy: "Amitabha, the prince has a heart for the common people, and has the desire to help the world. The Buddha will surely understand the high righteousness of the prince, and he will send rain to relieve disasters."

"The abbot is honored. As a prince, I should pray for the common people. Unfortunately, I am single-handedly weak. Unlike my father, who can offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for rain, I can only come here to burn incense and express my heart." Chonghuo In my life, Yan Shulou knew better than anyone how to act on the occasion, what to say in front of whom, and what kind of side to show.

"Amitabha, it is a good thing that the prince has such a kind heart. I believe you will be blessed by the Buddha and live a long life."

"Really?" Yan Shulou didn't take it seriously, just smiled and let it go.

"Naturally," the abbot deliberately said in order to make his words more convincing, "About ten years ago, a child came to the temple and gave the old monk a hundred coins, asking the old monk to give him a very important person every year. They all lighted an ever-burning lamp, and asked that the lamp not be extinguished. When the lamp oil was exhausted, a new lamp would have to be replaced until a hundred years. The old monk was very surprised, and asked him why he didn't come to light it himself, but let the old monk replace it. He told the old monk that it turned out that He was born less than a month old, the doctor asserted that he was weak and would not live to be ten years old, and the year he came to the temple, he was exactly nine years old, and he wanted to come to light the lamp for that person a long time ago, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with the money. I collected enough [-] coins to light a century-old lamp for that person. At that time, I still remember the child’s sincere smile. In fact, [-] coins were not enough to light the everlasting lamp for so many years. His face was moved. The old monk later asked him why he didn’t light for his family. He smiled and told the old monk that he was gone, and there was his elder brother. His elder brother could also light the lamps for his family, but that person would not have anyone to help him. "

"What happened later?" Yan Shulou was attracted by the story, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to that child?"

"Amitabha, when the child was about ten years old, he fell seriously ill. Fortunately, his kindness touched the Buddha, and he walked out of the gate of hell, and lived a healthier life." The abbot smiled knowingly, "After that, the child will come every year. In the temple, I personally lighted the lamp for that person, and told the old monk that if he had a year to come, it would be a big deal for him, and then I would ask the old monk to light the lamp for him."

"That child..." Yan Shulou was stunned, "Is he still here in recent years?"

"Amitabha, the child has been coming every year for the past few years. It has been ten years. He has been unremittingly lighting lamps for that person, but last year he turned on the lamp in the future strangely. I am afraid that something will happen to this child. After inquiring, I found that the child is still alive and well, but he didn’t come for some reason, and it’s not easy for me to ask, so I can only light the lamp for him.”

After Yan Shulou heard this, he didn't say anything, but felt sorry for this matter in his heart. He really wanted to see this child who was blessed by the Buddha.

"My lord, have you finished your incense?"

Du Mingqian stepped over the threshold and entered. When the abbot saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he clasped his hands together and said with emotion: "Amitabha, Master Du, you can count yourself here. This year's lamp hasn't been lit yet."

"Are the lights lit this year?" Yan Shulou asked in a daze.

"Amitabha, all things in the world are predestined. My lord, the person who lit the lamp that the old monk said just now is exactly this Lord Du."

"Mingyu?" Yan Shulou's eyes widened dumbly. There are so many coincidences in the world, and the child who lit the lamp turned out to be Du Mingqian.

But Du Mingqian was speechless. From the conversation between Yan Shulou and the abbot, he also vaguely guessed the general content of what they said. I'm a bit busy in Nian, so I don't have time to come and light the lamps."

"Who... did you light the lamp for?" With anticipation, Yan Shulou walked towards Du Mingqian, staring fixedly at Du Mingqian, feeling a feeling of secret joy welling up in his mind inexplicably.

Du Mingqian missed Yan Shulou's scorching gaze, found an excuse and went out: "My lord, you...ask the abbot, I will wait for you outside."

Yan Shulou looked at the abbot, the abbot smiled, probably guessed something, and led Yan Shulou to the back temple.A row of long tables in the back temple was lined with a long row of ever-burning lamps, and on one of the bright and bright lamps, there was a note with several slanted characters written: Yan Shulou!
