Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 597 Worshiping God
As the weather gets warmer, the people in Guanzhong gradually take off their heavy clothes and put on light clothes. The city is full of fresh clothes and colorful embroidered clothes.

On this day, Fang Jun finished his leisure of "tasting tea and reading", tidied up his desk, and wanted to go back home.Tomorrow he will rest for a bath, and classes in the Chongxian Hall will be closed, so he has to stay in the mansion.With the spring warming and freezing, although there is still some time before the spring plowing, the construction team of the Ministry of Industry has accelerated the construction speed, and there is nothing left and right. Fang Jun returns home to work as a supervisor every day after he is off duty in the Chongxian Pavilion.

Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Shangguanyi.

"Chun and Jingming, Erlang has nothing to do, why don't we go to the Temple of Mercy together?"

Fang Jun was in a good mood when he received the invitation.

Because of his fierce counterattack above the court during the impeachment turmoil, he was regarded as a thorn in the flesh by a group of civil officials. Such a violent method was naturally strongly rejected.In their view, Fang Jun's practice of knocking down all the impeachers with black materials is obviously "unruly".

Fang Jun was speechless...

You can impeach me, but if you want to suppress me, it is you who are loyal to the country. If you want to block my progress in the officialdom, it is because you have taken the overall situation into consideration and understand the righteousness. On the contrary, I resisted, but it is not right. General knowledge, despicable methods?
Although he was unhappy, he couldn't change the attitude of the civil servants. Even many officials in Fang Xuanling's camp complained about Fang Jun's actions.

After all, they are afraid!
Fang Jun's move was as violent and powerful as nine days of thunder. Today, Fang Jun dealt with the officials who impeached him. Who knows if this move will be used by the emperor against officials who oppose his will in the future?

With such an incomparably sharp and indestructible sword hanging over his head, no one would be terrified!

Rather than queuing Fang Jun, it is better to say that he is expressing the attitude of the civil servants to the emperor-this kind of thing cannot be done in the future...

Even though he was resisted by all the civil servants, Shangguanyi never changed his attitude towards Fang Jun, and did not sort out the slightest bit to express his intention to move closer to the civil servants.

It is commendable.

Fang Jun said briskly, "All right, just the two of us?"

Shangguanyi pulled Fang Jun out of the Chongxian Hall, and said as he walked, "There is one more friend I met at the recent poetry meeting, a very nice person."

While talking, the two left the East Palace.

At the corner gate of the East Palace, while waiting for the servants to drive the carriage over, Fang Jun saw two short figures approaching from behind, apparently also about to leave the palace.

Seeing Fang Jun, the two figures stopped respectfully, bowed and saluted: "I have met the school secretary."

Fang Jun glanced at the thin boy with fine features and fine features on the left, and said with a smile, "Di Renjie, where are you going?"

Di Renjie glanced at Fang Jun, blinked his big eyes, and said respectfully: "My father returns to Beijing today, and the students go outside the city to meet him."

Fang Jun nodded: "Your father has traveled a long distance, the time to enter Beijing is uncertain, sooner or later, it is possible. If your father does not come back before the city gate is closed, you have to go home immediately, don't let you Grandpa is worried."

"Student understands." In response, Di Renjie quietly pulled the sleeve of the kid next to him, saluted Fang Jun and Shangguanyi again, and walked away together.

Looking at Di Renjie's back, Fang Jun sighed helplessly.

Entrusted by Di Renjie's father, Fang Jun originally planned to get close to Di Renjie. After all, he is a big cow in the future, so it is necessary to build a good relationship.But one after another on his side, especially this wave of impeachment, made him always on the cusp, so he could only suppress this thought, he didn't want to bring any trouble to the Di family because of his closeness.

But fortunately, we are both in the Chongxian Pavilion, and the future will be long...

The house servant dared to come with the carriage, Fang Jun and Shangguanyi got into the carriage together, and when they arrived at the Imperial College, they picked up Shangguanyi's friend and went to Ci'en Temple together.

As soon as Shangguanyi's friend got into the car, he smiled at Fang Jun, "I met Erlang in Xialongxi Di Taoist, General Xin Mao."

Fang Jun is a veritable celebrity.

It seems that Xin Mao will wait for foreign scholars who came to the capital to take the imperial examination. Maybe they don't know who Zhongshuling is, and almost no one knows Fang Jun's name.

too loud...

This Xin Maojiang was 27 or [-] years old, with a slightly dark face and slightly protruding cheekbones, which made his eyes look narrow and narrow, but the pupils of his eyes shone with light, revealing his spirit.She is a bit thin, and she is dressed in a cloth and green shirt. Although it is simple, it is very clean, and it is very comfortable to look at.

After exchanging a few words of courtesy, the carriage had arrived at Anshanfang, which was across the street from Ci'en Temple.

The carriage stopped, and the servants of the Fang family said respectfully outside the carriage: "There are too many people, the carriage cannot get in."

Fang Jun and the others opened the car door and got out of the car, startled.

Zhaoguofang is connected to Jinchangfang. There are Chongji Temple and Ci’en Temple respectively in these two places. There are countless people who come to offer incense and pay homage. The whole street has been blocked. the end.

Fang Jun asked in surprise: "What's going on, there are so many people?"

Xin Maojiang smiled and said, "It seems that Erlang didn't go out today? Scholars from all over Guanzhong have gathered in Chang'an City, waiting for the imperial examination soon. Some rich children even brought a dozen servants and maids with them. Once it comes, how can it not be overcrowded?"

"Besides, today is the Buddha's renunciation day, and it is a grand ceremony for Buddhism. Many scholars gathered in the major temples in Chang'an to burn incense and pray for blessings, praying for good results in the upcoming imperial examinations, getting titles on the gold list, and rising to the top!" Shangguanyi explained road.

Only then did Fang Jun feel relieved, and he dismissed the servants, and the three of them walked slowly in the crowd.

While walking and chatting, Fang Jun realized that Xin Mao had considered the past few days as a temporary cramming, and burned incense a few times.

A few days ago, in the dormitory of the Imperial College, I bowed in the direction of Longxi, praying for the protection of my ancestors, and the ancestral graves smoked...

Yesterday, I went to Wenchang Emperor's Temple to burn incense, and I asked this god in charge of cultural affairs to bless me in the exam.Then I went to the Confucian Temple to offer incense, hoping that the most holy teacher can find time to help...

Today, I came to the temple and prayed for the blessing of the Buddha.

Fang Jun deeply understands this.

Even for people after 1000 years, every time the college entrance examination, the parents of the candidates are extremely superstitious, and burning incense and worshiping Buddha is very popular, let alone in the Tang Dynasty?Therefore, even though Shangguanyi didn't believe this, he was pulled by General Xin Mao without any objection, and said that all actions should follow the command of General Xin Mao, and he could go wherever he was told, and he could worship as he was told.

There are so many people in Ci'en Temple that there is no way to get in. All of them are exam candidates and their families who come to pray.

On the other hand, Fang Jun felt a little emotional when he saw the shabby gate and the simple houses of Ci'en Temple.This temple was first built here by Emperor Daowu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty built Wulou Temple on the site of Jingjue Temple, which was later abandoned.Until the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed as Ci'en Temple.

In history, when Li Zhi was established as the prince, he prayed for good fortune in memory of his biological mother, Empress Wende, and repaid her loving kindness. He ordered the expansion of this temple, named Daci'en Temple.For thousands of years, Da Ci'en Temple has become a place of worship for Chinese and foreign Buddhists.

After paying homage to the Ci'en Temple, it was already past noon, and Fang Jun suggested going to a restaurant for dinner and a drink.

General Xin Mao shook his head and said, "There is another temple...

"It's almost enough..." This time even Shangguanyi had a bitter face: "It's just a test, why bother to worship all the gods in Chang'an City?"

"This one, I must worship." General Xin Mao said mysteriously: "It is very effective.

Fang Jun said angrily: "Then why do you still have to worship the first two?" There were too many people, and he was a little impatient.

"No one can be neglected, anyone who is unhappy will be in trouble." General Xin Mao said enthusiastically.

Fang Jun couldn't help it, what else could he say when he met such a superstitious guy?

General Xin Mao, who came from a poor background, regards this imperial examination as the most important battle in his life, and of course he refuses to let go of any chance that can bring good luck.If he retreated at this time, he would not dare to say anything compared to General Xin Mao, but he would inevitably feel awkward. If he delayed the exam or made a mistake, how could Fang Jun bear it?

Not to mention, Shangguanyi might also have this idea.

I can only be kind...

General Xin Mao seemed to be more familiar with Chang'an's terrain than Fang Jun. He walked east along the street south of Ci'en Temple, arrived at Xiuxiufang, turned south, and arrived at Qinglong Temple.

When he reached the ground, Fang Jun suddenly realized.

Further south from here, isn't it the piece of land by the Qujiang Pool?

It's just that Qujiang is Miaomiao, the woods are secluded, and the eldest Sun Chong who started a conflict with him that day is already a thing of the past, and things are different...
