The master didn't say anything, and there was no point in asking him, so I won't talk about it anymore.
Although you don't have to pray deliberately, since you have come to this Buddhist place, it is still possible to copy some scriptures and calm your mind.
The young monk brought paper and pen, and Ning Chen and Ye Jun sat on each side and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures.
Master Ruokong was meditating nearby.
It's the first light snow of the year falling outside, which is quite poetic.
Only half an hour later, Yuan Jiu came in quietly and whispered a few words in Ning Chen's ear.
For a moment, Ning Chen's brows frowned slightly.
"You can copy scriptures here or go back to rest. I have things to deal with, so I can't accompany you." Ning Chen put down the pen in his hand and said softly.
Ye Jun nodded, "Your Majesty, please go. I have nothing to do alone."
After sending the person away, Ye Jun continued copying.
There is still one third left to copy, and I don’t want to give up halfway.
Moreover, in this Zen temple, it is rare to feel such peace of mind.
When she put pen to paper, Master Ruokong happened to open his eyes.
"If you believe me, please give me this Buddhist scripture and let me read it in front of the Buddha."
Ye Jun bowed slightly, "I couldn't ask for more, but I'll have to trouble you, Master."
Master Ruokong clasped his hands together in return.
After seeing Ye Jun off, the young monk came into the room to tidy up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
At the same time, I couldn't help but ask, "Why did the master take the initiative to chant for her? I don't know how many people would normally ask for it."
"Did you see anything in her?"
The young monk scratched his head and said, "I am ignorant and didn't see anything. I just felt that his aura was outstanding. I guess it's because he was pampered."
Master Ruokong smiled and shook his head.
"This female donor has the aura of a golden phoenix, and she controls it very well."
"Then can she become the queen?" The little monk's eyes widened for a moment.
"If people move according to their fate, then they will definitely do so. However, now that fate moves according to people, it all depends on people's choice." The master lowered his eyes, "Don't ask any more questions. Go pack up your things and meditate with me."
The little monk nodded and said no more.
As for fate, for example, the former Queen Xie also had the Golden Phoenix Fate, but she couldn't control it, so she didn't end up well.
Ye Jun is able to control it, so whether this fate is revealed or hidden is entirely up to her.
On the other side, half an hour later, Ye Jun returned to his residence.
Kong Qing was guarding the door. When he saw his master coming back, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Zhao Yuan, the Minister of Personnel, Lord Xu, has entered the temple, along with Yi Shunyi's brother, Lord Wu, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple."
"I understand. You keep an eye on it carefully in the dark and report to me if you find anything else." Ye Jun said coldly.
He went inside, took off his cloak, drank a cup of hot tea, and then sat down by the stove.
He met with his own people so quickly, it seems that Ning Chen has already taken action.
But which aspect did he want to investigate from
A British duke's mansion is involved in too many things, and they are so complicated that if you accidentally alert the enemy and the Duke of England is on guard, it will be difficult to deal with.
Ye Jun calmed himself down, sorted out his thoughts carefully, and finally fixed his eyes on two words.
corruption.
Obviously, this is not an easy way to investigate, but as long as we get the evidence, not only will the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion be doomed, but by following the clues, we can also catch many people who are involved with the Chen family.
Even though I'm not sure whether my thoughts are the same as Ning Chen's, if I look in that direction, I should be able to gain something.
After all, the Duke's Mansion was so big, she didn't believe that the Duke of England's hands would be so clean.
Having made up his mind, he found a way to send a letter home.
He didn't say anything too profound, just asked Chu to look into all the recent events concerning the Duke of Ying's Mansion.
On the other side, Ning Chen obviously took action earlier than Ye Jun.
In fact, since the year the war started, he had already sent people to secretly collect various evidences of the crimes of the British government.
I thought the Duke of England might do something during the foreign war so that I could have something to hold against him, but I didn't expect that the Duke of England was so cunning that he didn't allow anyone to catch him at all.
Especially after his eldest son Chen Xianwen was demoted to a commoner and deprived of the right to inherit the title for corruption and bribery, he became even more cautious.
However, as time goes by, the truth will always show up. For example, Ning Chen recently received a piece of news that there is an account book in the Duke of Ying's Mansion, which records the "tributes" sent every year by all people protected by the Chen family.
This news was accidentally leaked by Chen Xianwen after he was drunk outside, but it was obvious that he didn't know much, so he was unable to obtain more information.
Now we have to find a way to get this account book.
Ning Chen also tried to place spies in the Duke's Mansion, but the Duke's defenses were tight.
Those people were either not sent in, or they are still just servants doing odd jobs on the margins, and none of them can come into contact with the master.
At this point, Ning Chen prepared to take a risky move and sent people to sneak into the Duke's Mansion to search.
This is why Ning Chen has to leave the palace.
It is always easier to control the overall situation outside the palace.
However, the news brought by Minister Xu and Shaoqing Wu today was not optimistic.
The Duke of Ying's mansion has many martial arts masters who guard the house. Last night, their people sneaked into the yard to search and were almost discovered. Now they can only start after they are sure that the account book is hidden in that exact location.
Otherwise, in such a large Duke's Mansion, the people would be discovered before the account books were found.
"I'll go to the Duke's Mansion some other day." Ning Chen lowered his eyes, "When I leave the palace, I have to visit my uncle's house."
When the emperor travels, he naturally has to be accompanied by many people, so that it is convenient to bring his own people in.
It would not be convenient for him to go alone, so he took Ye Jun with him.
As the saying goes, take the enemy by surprise and attack when they are unprepared. The next day, the royal carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke of England's mansion.
The Duke of England was very surprised, but he managed to keep his composure.
He asked his servants to pass the message to everyone in the mansion, and he immediately went to the door to welcome the emperor.
"Pass the order down, guard the place strictly. If anyone with suspicious movements is found, they must be captured. If anyone struggles or tries to escape, they must be killed immediately." A cold light flashed in the Duke of England's turbid eyes.
He walked out all the way while giving instructions to the housekeeper.
But the housekeeper was a little hesitant, "My lord, the emperor is in the mansion, I'm afraid this is not a good idea."
"It is precisely because the emperor is in the palace that there must be no mistakes in protecting him." The Duke of England said coldly.
He has always known that the emperor has been secretly investigating him over the years, so he has to be on guard.
There are hundreds of people in the Duke's Mansion, including masters and servants, but they all depend on him.
Do not be negligent.
With the words "protect the emperor", no matter who the suspicious person is, he can be killed.
The safety of the emperor is the top priority. Even if it is a mistaken killing, it is only out of a desire to protect the emperor.
Within the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, everyone in the Duke's Mansion gathered together and met Ning Chen and Ye Jun in the outer hall.
"I, your humble servant, and my whole family are here to pay our respects to Your Majesty and Your Majesty. May Your Majesty and Your Majesty be well and at peace."
"No need to be polite. Uncle and aunt, please get up soon. I came here specially to see you today. It's almost the end of the year, and as a junior, I would like to wish you a happy new year." Ning Chen smiled and waved his hand.
He looks like a junior.
