Chapter 746: Only envy and hold Jinwu for a lifetime (Part 2)
At the same time, the Daqi Jingzhao Shaoyin, who was in a very dark and low mood, and Meng Kai, the patrol ambassador of the various gates, also passed through the city and came to the vicinity of Mingdemen. With various interrogations and attention, the armored soldiers who were carrying muskets and powerful crossbows or occupies a high place, were introduced to the left of Zunshanfang, the third archway north of Mingdemen, to the left of a surviving Lan Ruo, the Daxingshan Temple.
However, when most people see this temple, they suddenly realize and think a lot. Because this is also one of the oldest forests in Chang'an. It was built in the second year of Taishi (226) of Emperor Wu of Jin, and its original name was "Zunshan Temple". Zunshan Fang was named because of this temple. During the Kaihuang period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Xi'an City was expanded into Daxing City. The temple occupied a fang of Jingshanfang in the city. The city was named "Daxing" and the fang name "Shan", and it was named Daxing Shan Temple until now.
This is also the ancestral home of the Tang Dynasty (Tscholars) in which later generations were among the eight Buddhist sects. Since the reign of the dynasties, there have been "Three Masters of Kaihuang" in the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty: the Indian monks Narentiriyashe, Chana Goto, and the Kaiyuan monks "Shan Wuwei, Vajra Zhi, Bukong successively stationed in Xiben Temple, translated classics, set up altars to spread secrets, and then passed on the Huiguo tradition.
It is also the temple where the national masters of Suzong, Daizong and Dezong of the Three Dynasties Bukong Sanzang were stationed and spread the Dharma. Therefore, the "Tianjin Dabian Zheng Guangzhi Sanzang's National Master" is still left. It is now one of the three major scripture translation sites in Chang'an, covering an area of 100 acres and hundreds of monks' houses. It is known as "the temple is prosperous and the most popular in the capital." The only one that can correspond to the scale system is the royal Taoist temple - Xuandu Temple.
It was not until Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty destroyed Buddhism in Huichang that the temple was briefly abandoned and the monks forced to return to secular life. After the second year, Emperor Wuzong died and Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he ordered the revival of Buddhism. Daxingshan Temple once again became the monks and monks in the capital, and one of the great merit envoys of the Left Streets, which was famous for the Prime Minister, Monks and Nuns. It can be said that it has been prosperous after generations.
In fact, even if the rebel army led by Huang Chao entered Chang'an to establish the Xin Dynasty of the Great Qi Dynasty, and when they were plundering and liquidating the officials of the dynasty, they had never thought of doing anything to these temples and jungles. They just ordered them to hand over a large amount of offerings and sent monks to attend the prayer meetings and the altar of the Requiem of the Soul-Retention Sacrifice, there was no other way to deal with it and everything was as usual.
On the contrary, after the "lift" of the official army, the Chang'an Junlin Gate, which survived, came to great trouble. Not only was the temples organized and spontaneously looted, but even the monks in the middle were recruited to "help the army". Naturally, there was no reason why the fish in the pond were affected because of the relationship between someone.
Because according to some of the subordinates in the camp, the words of the preaching and arguments in front of Prime Minister Cui Anqian, the head of the Taiping thief Zhou Ni is a great master of the Buddhist sect. Therefore, these Buddhist temples in the capital have the risks and possibilities of serving the Taiping Army, so they can only take action to deal with it decisively to avoid future troubles.
Of course, the motivation for the Taiping Army's central tent to be transferred from Mingde Gate to this place was because it was relatively safe and intact, and the ready-made sites and buildings that could be used were large enough. The officials who had taken turns to rampage all the valuable things and things that were visible to them, even if the curtains were cut off or the gold foil on the tin-iron clay statue was scraped off; but the corresponding palaces, towers, monks' residences and courtyards could be roughly moved in after cleaning.
For example, it can be used as a battlefield place to rescue and resettle wounded soldiers, or as a battlefield repair facility and a temporary military manufacturing bureau that accompany the army, and can be arranged and placed easily. In addition, the thirteen-layer black tiles and green roofs in the temple are also comparable to the large and small wisteria pagodas in the city, and are among the few commanding observation points in the central area of the south of the city, which can be used as a banner issued by the commander and to guide artillery.
However, unlike Meng Kai's expected situation, the temporary central army of Taiping Grand Governor's Office was not set up in the Daxing Buddhist Hall, which claimed to be the same as that of the Taimiao, and could vaguely see the blue tiles and flying tiles and golden halls; (There has been hung here with the "Suijun Training Institute" and "First Aid Office". Instead, there is an inconspicuous ordinary courtyard not far from the tower - Dizang's Place.
It can be said that apart from the unsquinting eyes, standing solemnly outside, the soldiers and the soldiers in the teaching corps, it is difficult to see that this courtyard that looks gray and half-new will be the headquarters of the Taiping Governor who is in charge of the "100,000 troops" in the attack and battle with the official army; as Meng Kai, who has been verified, stepped into the courtyard where he has been cleaned up, leaving only the clean stone floor and the embossed patterns on the wall, he suddenly smelled a faint fragrance.
This made Meng Kai, who had been busy for almost the whole day and had only eaten a few pieces of biscuits from Taiping Army, involuntarily squirmed in his belly. Then the curtain was lifted, revealing some unconcealed sucking sound that came with the fragrance.
Under the tiny sky light of the lotus platform and the patterned panes of Baoxiang, the inner room with a wide wall is quite spacious and accessible; except for many sand tables, maps, cabinets and cabinets for storing documents, there is nothing else. And a figure who looks quite strange and familiar in the middle is chewing on the case.
"It's Meng Shaoyin here... Please wait for the seat..."
While having a routine meal time, Zhou Huaian, who was concentrating on dealing with the big cups of hot chicken oil in front of him, just nodded to him and buried his head again. It seemed that this food was more attractive to him.
The so-called "银银" is a kind of boiled pasta from the Tang Dynasty, which is more similar to the hand-pulled noodles in the north in later generations. It is just that the ingredients are taken from the characteristics of the water and soil and scenery in the Guan area. For example, plant new wheat on the edge of the Wei River, then sift out the fine noodles like snowflakes through a water mill, and then knead them with a very uniform and strong force, and then pinch them into wide strips of fingers.
The soup base is a three-pound hen that is suitable for fresh years and is suitable for tenderness. The thick white soup base is left after the belt and bones are cooked sour. Because it is easy to condense a layer of thick yellow chicken oil on it, and it is fully absorbed when cooking the noodles. Therefore, there is no need for any extra flavor, and just cut a few strips of scallion and garlic shreds. It tastes thick, the wheat aroma of the grain and the plump and tenderness of the chicken, and it responds in the mouth that makes people unable to stop.
Therefore, Meng Kai, who was cautious and restrained on a Hu bed, just stared at the other party and was having a great time eating a big bowl of shovel. However, his heart was filled with ups and downs, and his heart was filled with bursts of heart and thoughts. Is this the scene of the Taiping Army general who was in charge of the four and ten roads in the south, who was in charge of the four roads and ten roads in the south, daily hospitality and daily life?
Just sat calmly, without any unnecessary decorations and enjoyment items to show off your identity. In the extremely simple and even somewhat old military tent decorations, I enjoyed the ordinary food that the lowest level of the city can enjoy; but it seemed that it was natural and so serious and attentive.
This made me feel that during the journey of traveling north and south, I had already seen the general's mansion and all the troops. As long as I had a little peace of mind, I would enjoy the atmosphere and style of the Ming Dynasty. After entering Beijing to establish the dynasty, I even compared the heroes of the court with extravagance and popularity, not surprising or even used to it. I couldn't help but feel very touched and realized how could I feel?
You should know that he had rejected these luxurious and vain things at the beginning. However, after rejecting the corresponding gatherings and entertainments several times, he was specially called by Huang Wang for a good scolding and persuasion. He even pointed out in person that his lack of sociableness and disconnection from public affection may lead to the disconnection between his subordinates and his comrades; and gradually surrendered.
But he didn't expect to see such a true example of the world's consistent behavior and unchanging original intentions. It was like the impression he had been with him when he was in Canton. As long as he had the corresponding food, whether it was fine or crude, he could enjoy it safely anytime, anywhere, no matter how crude the environment and place was.
Then Meng Kai's emotions, doubts and confusion that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time seemed to be guided and triggered to flourish, and then turned into some kind of enlightenment that suddenly became enlightened. Perhaps, perhaps, this is the plan and planning that the other party could easily defeat himself in Canton, and step by step to this point, even the New Dynasty of Daqi had to rely on its breath and help to survive the crisis and power.
Perhaps this kind of unrepentant person in the world who is determined to be without regrets, and who is not affected by external objects, and is invaded or tempted by others, and is indomitable in a worldly way, can lead most of the knowledgeable and ambitious people in the world who are in harmony with each other, and who are ambitious, to embark on a farther and more open-minded path to help the people and save the world.
Unfortunately, I still understood it a little too late after several times. Even though I knew that what the other party did should be the right thing, I wanted to secretly use these "good recipes for saving the world", but I always had many concerns in my position and had to face the consequences of being awkward or giving up halfway through trying to practice and implement.
What gave him the greatest resistance and stumbling in open and secret was his former comrades-in-arms and even his predecessors who valued him. Even in the end, even the Huang King had to come out to stop and beat him. Therefore, he could only make some progress and exchange and compromise without being able to push his fists and feet.
However, now, he has finally tasted the consequences and sufferings brought by the lucky thought he has always held. Perhaps, this is the final limitation that he could achieve under the Huangwang pattern of ambition to "make equality of heaven" and "living with the people". As Meng Kai's thoughts were full of thoughts, Zhou Huaian finally drank the last sip of soup and raised his head.
