Section 23 Heaven's Secret

"Oh? I don't seem to have heard of His Majesty's belief in Buddhism." Wufeng was a little surprised.

"Although Your Majesty does not believe in Buddhist doctrines, the Empress Dowager believes it very much, and Your Majesty respects it more." An Qier explained.

"Well, so that's it. I heard that this White Horse Temple is not only quite famous in this Buddhist field, but also a famous sect in the world. I heard that all their disciples who came to the master are not only profound in Buddhism, but also extremely extraordinary in martial arts. Their lay disciples are even spread all over the empire and have a great influence." Wufeng's magic clutch finally covered the beauty of lush grass between the beautiful legs as he wished, and his fingers began to explore restlessly.

"Brother, don't, don't do this." Angel seemed to be unable to bear the harassment, pressed her hand tightly against her stupid magic hand, and looked at her beloved man with a pleading look.

Wufeng's hand stopped moving, but refused to take it back. The helpless An Qier had to let him do whatever he wanted. "There are 3,000 disciples in White Horse Temple, and more than 2,000 are lay disciples, and there are only 800 real monks. Among these lay disciples, there are quite talented people, and many of the officers in the Imperial Guards come from there."

"Well, it seems that the two major temples in the north are not worthy of fame." Wufeng said casually.

"Huh? Fenglang, do you also know the two major temples in the north?" An Qier obviously did not expect that Ailang would know these situations.

"I heard a little. The Daxiangguo Temple in Yunzhong Prefecture, Yanyun County is not small. I heard that its status in the martial arts world alone is even better than that in the martial arts world." Wufeng replied with a smile.

"I don't know this, but the power of this White Horse Temple is indeed not small in the imperial capital. Many nobles who believe in Buddhist principles have maintained good personal relationships with Master Huineng." Angel did not pay attention to why the White Horse Temple invited her lover, but focused on another post in her hand.

"Who, Xuanqingxian Chang?" An Qier couldn't help but scream again.

"So what's wrong?" Wufeng asked absent-mindedly.

"Xuan Qingxian has been sitting in the gate to practice the magic of the immortals for a long time. Why did you suddenly invite you? Fenglang, have you had a deep friendship with Xuan Qingxian? Why have I never heard you mention it?" An Qier was a little confused.

"Xuanqing? I don't know you, but I seem to have heard of this person's name. He seems to be a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple." Wufeng gently twisted the thick hair between his fingers, while deliberately teasing the jade man sitting on him.

"Taoist priest? Fenglang, you are too angry! This Baiyun Temple is the most famous Taoist temple in the world. It has a strong incense and many believers. As far as the Nanyang Alliance and the Japanese territories, a large number of believers come to burn incense and make wishes every year. Xuanqing Xianchang is the most famous Taoist master in the empire. His Taoist skills are said to be enough to attract magical powers. Even His Majesty the Emperor has asked him to explain the truth many times." An Qier was very dissatisfied with her lover's carelessness.

"Although I have no prejudice against the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, I do not support it. If you believe in the sayings of ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas, if you believe in it, you will not, and I belong to the latter. As for your views on these two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, I advocate that you can let the flow be natural within a certain limit and survive the fittest. Since some people believe it, it means that they still have certain vitality, but they must not and will never allow them to have the power to interfere in local government affairs. Their behavior must also be subject to serving the needs of the government. This is a critical point. I also advocate that these Buddhist and Taoist temples be treated and managed as social groups, similar to the martial arts sects." Wufeng disagreed with the excessive infiltration of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism into secular affairs.

"But Master Xuanqing is not troubled by these common things at all. He is now devoted to cultivating his mind and nature, comprehending the path of immortality, in order to become an immortal as soon as possible. My uncle went to Baiyun to visualize a few days ago to ask Master Xuanqing to explain the Taoist Taoist to calm his mind. But the people in the middle said that the immortal has been in meditation for many days and has no time to meet outsiders." An Qier obviously felt unreasonable about Master Xuanqing's visit to his beloved man.

"Although the immortal way is unfounded, it is a good thing for him to concentrate on comprehending it. If it is really too much mixed in the imperial government, I think that is a disaster, not a blessing." Wufeng said with a smile.

"Well, the owner of this post is Gao Lishu. He is the boss behind the Empire's largest news media, "Imperial News", and he also operates a considerable scale of water transportation. From the imperial capital to Donghai County, his Gao family controls one-third of the water transportation business. This post belongs to Mr. Mi Heng, and his autograph on this post is worth 100 gold coins. He is the current dean of the Imperial Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and he also has a duke. His Mi style is famous in the imperial calligraphy world, but he is very arrogant." An Qier picked up two posts and knew the owner of the post as much as possible.

"This is Xie Yifu's post. He is the second head of the Xie family among the seven major families in Jiangnan, and is also the representative of the new Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital. This is `````````Hey? This is the post of the Central Plains Association. Let's take a look. It's the post of the owner Situ Mingxiang. Even he came to pay a visit. Fenglang, you have a very good face!" An Qier laughed.

"Situ Mingxiang? Could it be that he is from the royal family?" Wufeng reacted quickly.

"Yes, he is Your Majesty's cousin, and he is named Anle Gong. He has a very close relationship with Your Majesty." Anqier explained.

"Then what does this Central Plains Guild Hall do?" Wufeng was still a little confused about the so-called Guild Hall.

"Fenglang, you don't even know what the Central Plains Association is for?" An Qier was surprised and seemed to be unbelievable. "But I think your martial arts seem to be very good, why don't you even know the Central Plains Association?"

"Is this Zhongyuan Guild Hall a martial arts sect?" Wu Feng was a little confused. Could it be that the dignified family, as a duke, would actually join the Jianghu sect?

"That's not, but the skill of the disciples of the Central Plains Association is no less than that of the so-called masters of the martial arts world. Its purpose is to strengthen the body, defend the country, and have a deep connection with the empire." An Qier said a little vaguely.

"I understand how to strengthen my body, but what does it have to do with defending my country?" Wu Feng was attracted by interest.

"In the past decade, in order to encourage the Chinese people to be martial, His Majesty the Emperor held a martial arts competition every year during the Spring Festival, called it the Wudi Examination. From it, select the noble and honest martial arts strongman to enter the Imperial Yulin Army. The Yulin Army is an armed force to guard the imperial city, with an extraordinary identity. Those who perform well in the Yulin Army still have the opportunity to select guards from the four gates of the palace. For ordinary people, this is a rare opportunity to jump into the dragon gate. The Central Plains Guild Hall is behind him.

Later it was the royal family, so the organizer was initiated by the guild. In addition, the guild paid a lot of money to recruit experts from various sects in the martial arts world as coaches. Most of the disciples here were from commoners or declining gentry. There were few civilian disciples. The entire guild had a balanced and strong strength. He always got the best ranking in every imperial examination. About one-third of the soldiers and officers in the Yulin Army came from the guild, and there were also many of the guards in the four gulfs." An Qier explained patiently.

"Oh, so the Central Plains Association is not only very powerful in the imperial world, but also has considerable potential in the imperial court." Wufeng said thoughtfully.

"Yes, most of these disciples in the guild are from the imperial capital. How many people are behind them supporting them? Although they are not big nobles, they are large in number and should not be underestimated." An Qier saw this thoroughly.

"Uh, it seems that this is an interesting character. I must visit him if I have the chance." Wufeng nodded.

Just when Angel picked up another post, a soft knock on the door rang out, "Tu Tu Tu", and it was obvious that the knocker was quite polite.

"Please come in." An Qier quickly stood up and tidied up her clothes.

The door was gently pushed open, and a tall and quiet figure appeared at the door. It was Charlotte. When she saw Angel, she was a little stunned, and then immediately reacted, "Sir, please ask you two to have lunch."

Angel was also shocked. The girl's beauty without any concealment made her arrogant and beautiful, and she couldn't help but admire her from her heart. She was such a stunning beauty with a face that was Yichen and Yixi, and her whole body was filled with a youthful atmosphere. At the same time, Charlotte was also secretly looking at the charming and enchanting beauty in front of her. The mature charm of the eyebrows and eyes full of spring to the destructive power of a man is definitely not comparable to that of a young girl.

Seeing the two girls looking at each other, Wufeng quickly stood up and introduced: "This is Miss Charlotte, Little Willy's sister. This is Miss Angel, my good friend."

"I'm happy to know you." The two women bowed almost at the same time to greet each other.

"Okay, let's go to have a meal. I heard that Charlotte's craftsmanship is not simple, so we have to taste it." Wufeng gently took Angel'er's hand and hugged her out, resolving this slightly awkward first meeting.

"Mother, are there any urgent matters for you to recruit children so anxiously?" Situ Biao was very surprised that the mother who rarely called herself into the palace in such a hurry would have been waiting for her in the living room. You should know that the procedures for entering the palace by adult princes are very complicated, and there is no specific reason that they are not allowed to enter the harem at will.

Seeing that his mother's face was normal and she did not look like she was sick and bedridden in the letter, Situ Biao felt very surprised.

After asking the idle staff to retreat, Sogna carefully looked around and confirmed that no one eavesdropped. Then she closed the door and let her only son sit down.

"What's the matter? Mother? I still have some serious business." Situ Biao was a little impatient, "If you have something, you can ask me to bring me a letter to tell me. There is no need to let me go there."

"Biao'er, you are not young anymore. You must be steady in your behavior. If you miss you so hard, how can you compete with your brothers and younger brothers in the future?" Sogna had great hope for her only son.

"Huh?" Situ Biao immediately felt something in his words, "Mother, is there something wrong with his father?"

"I'll ask you, have you been supporting that Li Wufeng?" Sogna stared at her son's face.

Situ Biao felt a stern heart and said something was wrong. "Mother, have you heard some news?"

"I went to your father's study last night and heard the military minister He Zhiqiu suggesting your father to put Li Wufeng under house arrest. Later, when I was sending your father a midnight snack, I saw several memorials on his case, as if they were suggesting to limit Li Wufeng's power." Sogna sighed quietly, "I shouldn't have told you about these things, so that your father knows. We both can't get out of our relationship, but I heard your uncle say that you are very close to Li Wufeng, and I'm worried that you will be implicated, so I'm just ``````````

The expression on Situ Biao's face changed, as if he was a little confused. After a long time, he asked, "What was the attitude of the father at that time?"
