Chapter 241 Chapter 240(2/2)

After getting off the carriage, Wei Guangde took Zhang Ji to walk in with a familiar carriage.

The full name of Lingji Palace is "Hongen Lingji Palace". It is a large-scale Taoist temple built by Emperor Yongle in Beijing. The Lingji Palace worships the second Zhenjun of Xu.

The second Zhenjun Xu was from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. They had more or less relatives with Li Yu.

Li Yu's grandfather Li Bing was born in a humble background. Li Bing's father Li Rong disappeared during the war. Li Bing was adopted by general Xu Wen as his adopted son and changed his name to Xu Zhigao.

The second Xu Zhenjun is Xu Wen's fifth and sixth sons. They led their troops to pacify the bandits in Fujian. After their death, they were respected by local people. Later, the people built a ancestral hall for Er Xu and carried out sacrificial activities, which was very effective.

In the Song Dynasty, the royal family personally gave the plaque "Lingji Palace", which further promoted the "Immortal Statue" of Erxu.

Zhu Zeng Chensun, a temple in Lingji Palace in the early Ming Dynasty, took advantage of the opportunity to treat Emperor Yongle and "introduced" the second Zhenjun of Xu to the emperor.

As for Emperor Yongle's illness, according to historical records, he was always troubled by rheumatism in his later years, which has a lot to do with the cold he suffered during his years of northern expedition to Mongolia.

The "prescription" used by Zeng Chensun is most likely the immortal pills refined by Taoist temples. After taking them, the body will get fever, but it will not remove the root cause of the disease at all.

However, Emperor Yongle, who was temporarily free from the troubles of illness, firmly believed that this was the power of heaven. Not only did he build a large Lingji Palace in Beijing, but he also gradually began to develop habits when taking elixirs.

Although Lingji Palace is famous in Beijing, it actually covers a small area and is relatively narrow. After all, it is an inner city and is very close to the Forbidden City.

There are not many buildings in Lingji Palace. Behind the mountain gate are Tianshu General Gate and Dachanwei Gate. Continue to walk in and you will see the main hall Xuandu Hall and the sleeping hall Zifu Hall.

This is the entire building of Lingji Palace. It can be said to be very simple, but because of the royal praise, it makes it very popular.

Among them, there is a cross-section between the main hall and the bedroom hall, forming a "gong" hall pattern, which is very similar to the Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall and Fengxian Hall in the Forbidden City. These are all written by Emperor Yongle, which shows his love for this place.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, officials suggested that the sacrifices to the second Zhenjun of Xu be terminated and the Lingji Palace was converted into an imperial temple in Beijing. However, officials from the Ministry of Rites wrote a letter to object, and the reason at that time was that the Lingji Palace was narrow and it was not suitable to build an imperial temple.

But these are not important. Anyway, after Wei Guangde came here to find someone to see it today, he considered going to Chaotian Palace to take a look.

In fact, in later generations, I still have the habit of hiring someone to see major events like moving. I hope that everything will go smoothly and safely after moving into a new house.

Entering the mountain gate, passing through the two gates inside, and then reaching the main hall. When you come here, you must first worship the second Zhenjun Xu, and then go to find the master.

After the worship was completed, Wei Guangde asked about the temple in the main hall and learned that the host was receiving the VIPs in the backyard.

In Wei Guangde's view, the top leader of the Taoist temple must be the highest in Taoism, and the date he calculated must be the best.

Wei Guangde, who has received materialism education, naturally knew what this was, but he still wanted to feel at ease.

Turning over the main hall and following the hall to the back, Wei Guangde heard the voices of chanting poems coming from the backyard when he walked past the bedroom.

"The earth can attract pine and cranes, and the immortal source is here."

I didn't hear the previous sentence, but the next sentence Wei Guangde was very sincere.

Turning around, Wei Guangde saw the head of Lingji Palace, Xuan Jing, accompanied a Taoist priest with fairy spirit and Taoism to taste tea under a big tree in the backyard.
