Chapter 67 Lesson 3 (3)
The valley entrance was looking at it, and a lot of people including Wei San were stretching their heads and looking at it. Lin Feng looked back and saw that the two brothers had become two vague black dots.
Lin Feng accelerated his pace and ran to the valley entrance quickly. He immediately asked Li Qiang: "Have you contacted Li Qing who stayed here to build?"
"I am Li Qing." A young man in his thirties squeezed over from behind the crowd and bowed deeply to Lin Feng, "I have met Lin Yilang. Now the construction of the valley..."
"Let's talk about these later. Hurry up and prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes for the two His Highnesses." Lin Feng ordered.
"The hot water is ready, just clothes. We can only bring in a few common people's clothes for working people." Li Qing was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, just prepare." Lin Feng looked at Li Qing, who had only met twice in Zheng Wang Mansion with some satisfaction.
"Now, everyone is lined up in two rows, welcoming our two high men." Lin Feng turned around and stood at the beginning on one side.
Immediately, Wei San and others stood behind him, while Chen Fei and others stood on the other side.
Li Yu half dragged and pulled Li Congqian, and turned and tilted into everyone's sight.
"Come on, come on!"
"Stand up, Your Highness Ninth!"
"You are so awesome, Your Highness Zheng!"
Involuntarily, several people started shouting, at first they called each other, but later they formed a neat voice: "Come on, come on!" Chen Fei and the others even waved their small fists and jumped their feet and shouted desperately.
Li Yu and Li Congqian raised their eyes that were wet with sweat with difficulty, and saw Lin Feng and the others who were smiling and shouting desperately. A smile appeared on their faces, and at the same time, they looked at each other and shouted: "Roll!" They used all their strength to trot forward.
Finally arrived! Li Yu felt someone holding his arm, and his whole body softened and collapsed. Before he fell down, he saw the sincere smiles of several guards such as Wei San. His eyes were not the fear he had used to be and the indifference hidden behind him, leaving only concern and respect.
In the simple room at the construction site, when Li Yu and Li Congqian sat in the steaming soup basin, they suddenly felt that their whole body seemed to be shouting happily from head to toe. Although Li Congqian was very tired, he was still very excited: "Brother Six, I have taken a bath many times, but never felt as comfortable as this time."
After saying that, Lin Congqian grabbed the roujiamo and water on the stool next to the bathtub, ate it in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help but shout: "It's strange, why is this roujiamo so delicious? Isn't it just the most common lotus leaf cake and beef?"
Li Yu found it funny. Isn’t it just a piece of meat? He also picked up a roujiamo and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Well, it was indeed very delicious. Li Yu ate in big mouthfuls, remembering the smiles of Wei San and others again. The smiles and concerns from the heart made him feel a little aftertaste. There is no doubt that he has truly won the respect of these guards not by the title of prince, nor by his own poetry and brushes, but by his perseverance and persistence today.
Knock-knock-knock-knock-a gentle knock on the door, accompanied by Lin Feng's hearty laughter: "Two Your Highnesses, if you wash it, let's visit the base together?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Li Congqian swallowed the last piece of steamed bun, stood up directly from the soup basin, and then got up. A lot of water splashed out, spilling onto the ground, and a few drops splashed on Li Yu.
In the past, Li Yu would definitely rebuke Li Congqian loudly, but today, after sharing the "tribulation" with Li Congqian, he found that he liked this tenacious and lively younger brother even more.
Soon, the two of them put on two sets of civilian clothes next to the soup basin. Li Yu was also anxious to press the wrong position because he was not familiar with the underarm clasping position of his clothes, which made Li Congqian very funny. However, the news came quickly. Since there were no children on the construction site, he also found clothes for thinner adults. He also touched them and pressed them in the wrong position. This made Li Yu laugh loudly.
The laughter of the two made Lin Feng, who was waiting outside the house, breathed a sigh of relief. With the unremitting efforts of his butterfly, Li Yu and Li Congqian finally began to embark on a different path, and Nan Tang's hope began to become slightly more.
While opening the door, Li Congqian turned his head and said to Li Yu: "Brother, I found that you are wearing civilian clothes. Although they are not as glamorous as before, I feel more intimate when I look at it." The word "Brother" was learned by Li Congqian from Lin Feng's name of Wei San.
"Haha, in my opinion, both of your highness are more chess-like than before." Lin Fengxiao flattered and pointed at Li Qing who was waiting not far away and said, "Next, let's guide and comment on the two leaders."
"Brother Lin, you have so many new words, it's so funny. However, Mr. Lin is even more interesting like this." Li Congqian actually changed his words and learned from Duan Rui and the others to call Lin Feng as the eldest brother.
Lin Feng was shocked: "Your Highness Nine, you must not dare. If this is spread, I am afraid that all the censors of Tang will go crazy and impeach me."
"What do you care about them, but I only shout like this when there are no outsiders. Someone else is there, and I even call Mr. Lin." Li Congqian said carelessly.
Lin Feng shook his head and had to signal to Li Qing, and he would first introduce the construction layout and progress in the small gourd outside the base.
"His Royal Highness Zheng, Your Highness Nine, Xiaodi has measured this valley many times. According to the direction of the stream and the direction of the valley, it is planned to build a study room, a Buddhist temple, a bedroom, the Buddhist temple is on the left, and the study and bedroom are on the right. It is at that location." Li Qing pointed to the slope of the valley on the left.
Buddhist temple? Lin Feng's brows immediately frowned.
"No! You must build the Buddhist temple in the middle, and be majestic. Just build the study and bedroom behind the Buddhist temple." Li Yu shook his hand and said.
At this time, Lin Feng's heart was already "sudden". He was really afraid of anything he was going to do!
The three masters of the Southern Tang Dynasty were famous for their belief in Buddhism, and Li Yu's reign was even more serious. He was not only a believer in Buddhism, but even a singular Buddhist Buddhist. Li Yu was surrounded by the environment of Kuhaofutu since his childhood, and the influence and infiltration of Buddhist thought had long been penetrated into the bone marrow. "Zhong Yin, Zhongshan Hermit, Zhong Feng's Hermit, Zhong Feng's Seclusion, Zhong Feng Bailian Layen Layman, Lianfeng Layman" and other names related to Buddhism are not only seen in the records of various historical books, but also retained in Li Yu's calligraphy.
In order to promote Buddhism, Li Yu vigorously worshiped and cultivated Buddhist temples during his reign and widely distributed monks. The Song Dynasty "Jiangnan Yuzai" once recorded: "The later lord believed in Buddhism and built Yongmu Palace in the palace, and built Jingde Monk Temple in the garden. Zhongshan also built a memorial temple. The imperial pen engraved it as the "Rewarding Ci Taoist Temple". He offered thousands of monks a day, and all the expenses were used by the two palaces." At this time, it was around 970 AD, and it was the time when the Southern Tang Dynasty was in turmoil and the national treasury was empty.
When he believed to the extreme, something absurd happened. According to reports, Li Yu built more than ten Buddhist temples in the palace and paid money to recruit people and Taoist priests as monks. In the end, more than 10,000 monks in the capital were all awarded the title of county magistrates. After retreating from court every day, Li Yu and Zhou Hou wore monk hats, dressed in cassocks, chanted scriptures, knelt on their heads, and finally knots were knocked out on their foreheads. They often made Buddhist seals with their hands.
A monk and nun were arrested for committing adultery. Li Yu said, "This is a marriage that is broken by this picture. If you are talking about the law, you will follow his desire." He ordered the monk to worship the Buddha a hundred times and then let it go. As a result, it is conceivable that monks in the Southern Tang Dynasty "have abused publicly and there is nothing to prohibit." If the prisoner happened to be killed, they would be ordered to burn the lamp in front of the Buddha in the palace and call it the life lamp. If it was turned off before dawn, it would be cut according to the law. If it was not destroyed, it would be exempted from death. Rich businessmen and great businessmen often bribed the left and right officials in the palace and asked them to secretly add oil to their lamps, causing "many people to be exempted". For this, if someone dared to give advice, they would be sentenced immediately. Therefore, the Southern Tang Dynasty was "crazy and confused and did not care about political affairs."
Even when Jinling City was besieged by the Song soldiers, Li Yu was also military and politically irrelevant. He slapped his hands and went to the back hall to talk about Buddhist principles with monks and Taoists, and went to the Book of Changes. He sought comfort and sustenance in these mysterious and vain principles of cause and effect, or failure. The funny thing is that Li Yu also asked the residents of the city to recite together: Save the suffering and the suffering Guanyin Bodhisattva. The voice was said to have suppressed the sound of the waves of the Yangtze River, but did not overwhelm the fighting spirit of the Song soldiers.
