Chapter 238 Visiting Daming Temple (Asking for Recommendation Tickets)
Yue Rong Wan'er smiled charmingly, which made people's hearts flutter, and then laughed and said: "If Zhen Lang wants to go, can the little girl accompany him?" ”
Zhen Qian was in need of a tour guide, so if he postponed it, he nodded and agreed: "It's not very happy to have a beautiful woman with you, how can there be any reason to excuse yourself!" ”
"In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui reigned for 14 years, but three times Yangzhou, some people say that Yangzhou is the land of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty's Longxing, after the death of the first funeral of Jiangdu Palace Liuzhu Hall, and then buried under the platform of Wu Gong, wait until the Tang Dynasty pacified the world, to the emperor to rebury Leitang, now many celebrities come to Yangzhou will go to these places to pay homage to a ......."
Under the introduction of Yuerong, Zhen Qian had a general understanding of Yangzhou, what Shanguang Temple, Zenzhi Temple, Wenfeng Temple, etc., the famous mountains and ancient temples said a lot, and also made an appointment to go to Daming Temple, and then go boating on the Huaizi River, or go to Shugang and see the ancient ditch.
When I asked about the 24th Bridge of Yuerong, I thought about it for a while, and then I vaguely remembered that there were 24 bridges in the vertical and horizontal places of the waterway in Xicheng, Yangzhou, and I didn't think there was anything outstanding. On the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the jade teach", after it is spread, will the Twenty-Four Bridges become famous.
As for the Slender West Lake, Zhen Qian didn't dare to say it, at this time the Slender West Lake was just a part of the moat, because the rain in the south of the Yangtze River can play a role in flood control and drainage, and because it is connected to the Grand Canal to maintain the water source, it is convenient for the canal to enter Yangzhou, coupled with the continuous dredging later, a lot of pavilions and pavilions were built on both sides of the river, and it was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that they gradually became famous.
Naturally, he didn't dare to ask, and Yue Rong, who was the head snake of the land, must be muttering in his heart, but Zhen Qian didn't give up, and wanted to find a chance to see the past of Slender West Lake.
After lunch, the two were not in a hurry to leave, they asked for a pot of black tea and continued to chat, "Last year, Guangling County was windy, and the tide overturned thousands of ships, I am afraid that it will affect the trip to send the Tang envoy back to China this time!" ”
Zhen Qian recalled his words in the official post, and did not reveal that he was going to the Wa Kingdom, and this kind of thing sent to the Tang Dynasty naturally would not talk to a fireworks woman, so he couldn't help but be vigilant, and haha: "It's not surprising that there are often strong winds (typhoons) in the south of the Yangtze River, and you have already prepared to send the Tang envoy back to China?" ”
What Zhen Qian never expected afterwards was that what happened later was closely related to a strong wind last year, and even if he knew it earlier, he was afraid that he would be helpless.
When the two were chatting in the Zuixian Building, a heated debate broke out in the official post at the same time, and the opposition led by Abe Nakamaro scoffed at Zhen Qian's so-called meritocracy, while Kibi Zhenbei thought that Zhen Qian's strategy of enriching the people and strengthening the country had merit, while Fujiwara Kiyokawa was not good at expressing his own opinions, and played a round between the two-for-tat.
Ji Bei Zhenbei is strong for the Japanese country, and when it comes to military, cultural and political inferiority is not as good as Datang, he is even more heartbroken and cried, and there is a great blood stirring that immediately sacrifices his life for the country, and he suppresses Abe Zhongmaru with the Japanese country, "We have all seen the wealth and strength of Datang, has Abejun forgotten the purpose of studying in Datang all these years in Datang?" ”
"A bunch of nonsense, when have I forgotten the Wa Kingdom, you don't want to spew blood and ......", Abe Zhongmalo was obviously not lightly angered by Ji Bei, but he didn't know that he used to get along with the literati of the Tang Dynasty day and night, and he had been contaminated with a lot of Confucian pedantic, if he talked about elegant things, ten Ji Bei Zhenbei was not Abe Zhongmaro's opponent, but when it came to how to govern the country, in addition to the Confucian righteousness, other words would be lackluster.
Ji Bei Zhenbei smiled coldly: "The Tang Dynasty is rich in resources, outstanding people, even one percent is better than the Wa Kingdom several times, what is wrong with concentrating limited resources together, such as the construction of the Turtledove Temple, it has not used tens of thousands of craftsmen, it took six or seven years before and after, and the real money and silver are countless, isn't it the best example?" ”
If Zhen Qian heard Ji Bei Zhenbei's approval, he would have to applaud, there is nothing that cannot be done with the power of the country in the future generations, of course, efficiency and money cannot be mentioned.
When Kibi Shinbei gave a number of examples, Abe Nakamaro's face turned pale, and there was no concept of economy in the Confucian thought of all dynasties, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, based on agriculture, and lightly dispensing with small endowments, but the theory of how to make a country rich and strong was lackluster and even unconvincing.
Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty changed the law, although those policies have been criticized for thousands of years, but after the opposition Sima Guang came to power, he couldn't come up with a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army, just oppose it for the sake of opposition!
Fujiwara Qinghe was no longer good at expressing his opinions, so he continued to say to the mud: "Whether what Zhen Qian said is feasible or not, the key is whether we recognize his proposition, even if what Zhen Qian said is reasonable and well-founded, the specific implementer is also us, and Zhen Qian has nothing to do with it, I see that Zhen Qian finally wants to say and stops, I'm afraid there are still a lot of things to say, why don't we go to the Drunken Immortal Building tomorrow, let Zhen Qian write a note, we will take out a lot of money to thank you, as for the final result, wait until we return to the Wa Kingdom?" ”
Abe Zhongmalu did not completely oppose Zhen Qian's suggestions in his heart, such as the establishment of the same Guozijian, the opening of schools in the local area, the selection of outstanding schoolchildren to enroll, etc., this was originally a suggestion that he wanted to go back and vigorously promote, so it was naturally impossible to oppose it! As for the other suggestions, although I can't say anything, I vaguely feel that it is inappropriate, but if I really want to say that there is something inappropriate, I don't know where to break it for a while.
Shugang, four miles northwest of Yangzhou City, stretches for more than 40 miles, connects Yizhen and Liuhe county boundaries in the west, arrives at Zhuyu Bay in the northeast, and is opposite to Jinling across the river. There is a well of Shu, and it is said that the leyline leads to Shu.
Shugang mountain is gentle, the forest is lush, Daming Temple is located in the middle of the mountainside, Yangzhou is the economic center of the south of the Yangtze River, Buddhism is also flourishing, in addition to Daming Temple on Shugang, there are more than a dozen temples of all sizes Zen Temple, although it is past noon, but the pious pilgrims have been in an endless stream.
Wang Tianxing prepared the carriage and horses early, accompanied by two guards, all the way to the foot of Daming Temple Mountain, let a guard guard take care of the horses and vehicles at the bottom of the mountain, and the group went up the gentle hillside.
Daming Temple is located in the northwest of Yangzhou, because it was originally built in the Southern Dynasty Song Xiaowu Emperor Ming Dynasty and got its name.
Along the way, looking at Shugang in early spring, Yuerong introduced while walking: "In the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian celebrated his birthday, and issued an edict to build 30 towers in the country to support Buddha bones, the temple built "Qiling Tower", the tower is nine floors high, magnificent and magnificent, so the temple is also called "Qiling Temple".
Climb up the platform in front of the Daming Temple along hundreds of soothing stone steps, facing a solemn and elegant archway. The archway is built to commemorate the perching tower and the perching temple, four pillars and three wings, the stone foundation is laid down, and the canopy is like a canopy. Above the middle door, there are three words of seal script "Qiling Temple", and the font is majestic and solemn.
Yuerong wears a curtain fence to cover her beautiful appearance, and it also prevents those disciples from getting a glimpse of the beauty, but along the way, the seemingly delicate Yuerong has been a little panting, just to show piety, most of the pilgrims on the road are climbing rocks, and it is rare to see someone riding a horse and sitting a sedan chair to climb the mountain.
