Emperor Guangxiao slowly raised his head, glanced at Zhou Zheng and said something, then picked up the memorial in front of him and continued to look it up, as if nothing happened just now.
Zhou was taken aback for a moment.
"Father?"
Zhou Zheng wanted to continue to say something, but was stopped by Wei Gao, the imperial father-in-law next to Emperor Guangxiao, and the head of the palace, slowly shaking his head.
Wei Gao served beside Emperor Guangxiao for ten years.
Not to mention that he knows Emperor Guangxiao's character and thoughts well, but he can also figure it out.
Seeing Wei Gao shaking his head.
Zhou Zheng didn't continue to say anything.
"My son, leave!"
Zhou Zheng came out of the imperial study.
After a while, Wei Gao also came out.
"Elder-in-law, why don't you let me continue?" Zhou Zheng was a little puzzled. If he said something, the emperor would definitely punish the abolished prince severely.
"His Royal Highness King Lu, you still don't understand what the emperor is thinking." Wei Gao said shaking his head.
King Zhou Zheng of Lu was very smart, but why didn't he know how to observe his words, and Emperor Guangxiao was already a little displeased when Zhou Zhen complained.
"What do you mean?"
"You and the deposed prince are blood brothers. As the saying goes, breaking bones connects tendons. His Majesty experienced a battle for succession when he was young, so he doesn't want to see your brothers killing each other."
Wei Gao said.
Zhou Heng was abolished, and Zhou Zheng immediately came over and stepped on him. Isn't this fratricide?
"That?"
Zhou Zheng thought to himself that he was doing too much.
"My lord, you should go back and prepare for the Chess Competition with Nanliang in a year's time. That will be your chance to show off your talents." Wei Gao said.
After listening to Wei Gao's words, Zhou Zheng showed joy on his face, "Thank you for your father-in-law's support, I will never forget it." Zhou Zhen seemed to have suddenly realized.
Outside Chang'an City.
Zhou Heng took Li Er and Zhang San out of Chang'an City.
It is true that those who have attained the Dao will help more than those who have lost the Dao.
When he was the prince, Zhou Heng was really surrounded by a group of people, fawning on him one after another.
Now that he is deposed, one by one sees himself like a mouse crossing the street, and along the way, Zhou Heng finally knows the warmth and coldness of human relationships.
"Young master!"
"There's no need to worry, it's just the position of prince, I'm not too rare."
Zhou Heng said indignantly.
Although the position of prince is good, it is easy to miss. Since ancient times, how many princes have successfully become emperors?
If you want to live long, you must stay away from the prince.
Therefore, in Zhou Heng's view, it is a blessing in disguise.
Taking out twenty taels, the three of them rented a carriage.
Three days passed.
Zhou Heng finally came to Hanshan Temple.
The green mountains and green waters make the scenery pleasant.
Looking at the rolling mountains, the mountains are undulating, and the forests cover the mountains as if wrapped in a layer of green cloth.
Come to the foot of the mountain.
Looking up, there is a temple halfway up the mountain. Judging from the specifications of the temple, it is not a very big temple.
"This is Hanshan Temple?"
Zhou Heng pointed to Hanshan Temple and asked.
"That's right."
Li Er nodded.
"This incense isn't very strong!" Zhou Heng was a little surprised. He was still the Prince of the Great Zhou. Even if he was deposed, there was no need for him to repent in such a remote place.
He has to see girls every day, to make himself happy.
This place is too remote, let alone a girl, it would be nice to meet people.
"Young Master, why did you forget that this Hanshan Temple is not a temple open to the outside world, it was built with the money of the imperial court, and the imperial court allocates funds to Hanshan Temple to build temples every year."
Zhang San explained.
Xin said that it was impossible for Zhou Heng not to know about this matter. Could it be that he became stupid because he was abolished?
"Tell me about it!"
Zhou Heng came out of curiosity.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy is invincible. I can't walk into Hanshan Temple blindly. If I can't get out, my happiness for the rest of my life will be gone.
"The abbot of this Hanshan Temple is Zhang Daoheng, one of the three heroes of my Zhou dynasty!"
"Zhang Daoheng?"
Zhou Heng had some impression of this person.
Of the three portraits on the top of the portraits of the heroes in the Great Zhou Gongchen Pavilion, the one on the far left is Zhang Daoheng.
It is heard that Zhang Daoheng has the talent of the world, the strategy of setting the country and the country, and the head of the civil servants above the court. Later, he suddenly saw through the world of mortals and became a monk.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Daoheng became a monk in Hanshan Temple.
"Now it is called Abbot Chewu." Zhang San said something to Zhou Heng.
"Comprehensive? Thorough enlightenment?" Zhou Hengxin said that there is a thorough enlightenment in the world, and the highest state of understanding is confusion in Zhou Heng's view.
"Let's go!"
The three of them walked up the stone steps.
It seemed that they were halfway up the mountain, but it took the three of them two quarters of an hour to arrive at the gate of Hanshan Temple.
Come to the gate of the temple.
The mountain gate was wide open, and a porch came into view, but the voice from behind the porch could still be heard.
Bypassing the entrance are more than a dozen monks practicing martial arts.
All of them looked stern, and every move seemed to have the potential to run away.
Pass through the corridor on one side and come to the main hall.
? Entering the main hall, you will be greeted by a golden statue of the Tathagata Buddha. The light incense of incense in the main hall makes people smell a little pungent, but at the same time it can calm you down.
"Amitabha Buddha!"
Zhou Heng stepped forward to worship with his palms together, then reached out and took the apple on the altar table and ate it. It wasn't that he didn't understand the rules or disrespect ghosts and gods, but that he was really hungry.
It's nothing for the Buddha to cut meat and feed the eagle, and it should be fine to eat an apple by himself.
"Stop!"
Just after taking a bite, a voice came from outside the hall.
A monk in monk robes walked in.
"How can you be presumptuous in the hall, this is the tribute of the Buddha, how dare you be disrespectful to the Buddha?" Zhou Heng felt like he had done something outrageous when he ate the apple.
"My Buddha has a broad mind and saves all sentient beings. What's wrong with eating an apple? On the contrary, you, with fierce eyes and compelling words, still have the cultivation of a monk."
Zhou Heng said dismissively.
"you?"
This person was speechless by Zhou Heng's words.
"Don't look at me so fiercely. I am a Buddha who is compassionate and equal to all beings. Why can't I eat this apple?" Zhou Heng continued to press.
"The benefactor is eloquent!"
When this person didn't know how to answer, another person came in from outside, about fifty years old, wearing cassock and holding a Zen staff.
From this person's bearing and clothing, Zhou Heng judged that this person was Zhang Daoheng.
"The deposed prince Zhou Heng has met the abbot!"
Zhou Heng stepped forward to salute.
Zhang Daoheng glanced at Zhou Heng, and heard that Zhou Henggui was the prince, with a violent personality and domineering, how could he give him a completely different first glance.
I have been the most accurate judge of people in my life, could I be mistaken, Zhou Heng is good at hiding himself.
"The emperor has already told me about your matter. From now on, you will stay in my Hanshan Temple until you wash away the dust in your heart before heading down the mountain."
Zhang Daoheng said slowly.
"Thank you abbot! Zhou Heng has caused you trouble."
Zhou Heng said politely.
"The abbot, he ate the apples on the altar table, and he must not be forgiven lightly." The monk who was speechless by Zhou Heng walked to Zhang Daoheng and said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
