Lin Qing went to the main hall from another road, and when he arrived at the main hall, he saw King Tan holding a map.
"What is Your Highness looking at?" Lin Qing asked.
King Tan watched Lin Qing come in, and said: "Sir, it's just in time. Yang Daban came over just now and said that things can be packed tomorrow. It's a long night and dreams. I plan to leave the day after tomorrow. Now I'm looking at the route to go."
Lin Qing nodded, sat down beside her, and said, "It's better to leave early. How is your Highness going to go this time?"
"In the past, we used to go to Xuzhou by land first, and then board a boat from Xuzhou to the capital, but now, this road may not be easy." Tan Wang said with a frown.
Lin Qing knew King Tan's concerns, and said: "It's really not right to go by water. It's the twelfth lunar month. With the current weather, the river on this side of Xuzhou is probably going to freeze. There is no guarantee that the road behind will not be icy, and taking a boat is inherently dangerous, once the boat sinks, you will not be able to get on the ground, and you will have no choice but to call for help.¡±
King Tan nodded, and said: "That's true. It's just because of this that I planned to look at the land route. However, after looking at two routes, I found that it is not very easy."
"Which two?" Lin Qing asked.
"The first one is to take the official road directly, but I'm afraid it will take a lot of walking. The second one is to take the official road first, and if you encounter a place where the official road is relatively remote, change to a small road, which can save about two days. time." King Tan pointed out the route to Lin Qing.
Lin Qing rubbed his chin and said, "Try to take the official road as much as possible. The official road is wide, and His Highness leads a lot of people. Although the small road can be closer, I'm afraid it will be very inconvenient. Besides, the official road is flatter than the small road." There are many, the princess is pregnant, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand the bumps."
King Tan thought of the princess, nodded, and said, "Then follow the official path!"
King Tan wrote down the route on the map with a pen, and then put it away.
Seeing that King Tan had packed up the map, Lin Qing said in a low voice: "When I came here just now, I saw Zhang Changshi in the garden. According to the usual practice, when a vassal king enters the capital, Chang Shi must accompany him. I wonder what His Highness's plan is?" .¡±
Hearing Lin Qing mentioning Zhang Xuan, King Tan frowned. Although he was too lazy to lower his status to care about a long history, but at such a sensitive juncture, a long history who is not in the same heart as himself is really easy to do bad things. In case this guy is dissatisfied and goes to the capital to say something inappropriate, he will easily fall into the shoes of others.
Thinking of this, King Tan said directly to Lin Qing: "Don't worry about this matter, sir. I will ask Yang Daban to deal with it."
After Lin Qing heard this, she immediately kept silent.
Two days later, King Tan and his party packed up their luggage and rushed to the capital with two thousand guards.

? Beijing Small Buddha Hall
Concubine Yang knelt in front of the Buddha as usual and knocked on the wooden fish. The old eunuch hurried over from outside and whispered next to Concubine Yang, "Your Majesty, there are many concubines coming outside, and I want to pay my respects to your Majesty."
Concubine Yang didn't even open her eyes, then knocked on the wooden fish, and said sarcastically, "Greetings? Why don't you greet the empress, give me a concubine?"
The old eunuch knew that Concubine Yang was making fun of those people in the harem, but he still said: "These people have been here for three days. Seeing you again is a bit unreasonable."
"Hehe," Concubine Yang opened her eyes and said, "They've pretended to be here in this palace. If that's the case, let them all come in!"
The old eunuch looked at Concubine Yang who hadn't gotten up, and said with some doubts: "Then the lady doesn't change clothes?"
"What clothes to change, I don't come out of this Buddhist hall." Concubine Yang said lightly.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to call them to the Small Buddha Hall?" the old eunuch said in surprise.
"Could it be possible to ask Bengong to go to the main hall to meet them!" Concubine Yang said, "Let them all come here!"
The old eunuch had no choice but to go out from the small Buddhist hall and lead the concubines at the door in.
Concubine Yang's small Buddhist hall is just a side hall, not too big, so after all the concubines came in, it seemed a bit crowded.
But Concubine Yang turned a blind eye to this, and said to the standing concubine: "I have been meditating in the Buddhist hall for a long time, but I didn't expect sisters to come to the door today."
The leading concubine Shu hurriedly laughed and said, "I wanted to see my sister for a long time, but my sister sincerely worships Buddha every day, and I am too embarrassed to disturb the elder sister. Now the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Although my sister is happy, the sisters have to Come bother."
Concubine Yang raised her eyes and looked at her. In the past, most of the concubines in the palace were either attached to the empress or concubine Wen Gui. Now the empress has been abolished because of Prince Gong¡¯s affairs and is confined to Kunning Palace., I can't afford to be sick. Concubine Shu, who had always been silent in the palace, actually got up quietly.
Concubine Yang smiled lightly and said: "What's there to bother me, I'm used to being quiet, but it's too lively and I'm not used to it."
Concubine Shu didn't really want to come to pay her respects to Concubine Yang, although both of them are concubines, but Shu is a virtuous woman, and her ranking is actually ahead of Concubine Yang. But who told Concubine Yang to give birth to a good son? Now the only remaining son of the Holy Majesty is born in the belly of the one in front of me. Considering that the Holy Majesty is already old and will have to rely on her in the future, Concubine Shu smiled and said:
"Although my sister is used to being quiet, my sister's palace is still too deserted, and I feel bored when no one talks. Why don't my sister come here often, and accompany my sister to worship the Buddha. What do you think?"
Concubine Yang originally wanted to refuse, but she suddenly remembered that when she just fell out of favor, this silent concubine Shu often made trouble. Although it has been a long time, this person may have long been forgotten, but as a victim, she But remember clearly.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yang suddenly smiled, and said to the concubines: "Sister Concubine Shu is right, is it really lonely to worship the Buddha alone? If this palace refuses, it will be a waste of the hearts of all the sisters."
Concubine Yang turned her head and said to the old eunuch: "Since you ladies are so caring, go inside and bring out the Buddha beans and distribute them to all the ladies, and then bring some futons, let all the ladies accompany me to pick up the Buddha beans! "
The old eunuch responded, and quickly went inside to bring a box of Buddha beans, gave some to Concubine Yang, and distributed the rest to each concubine present.
The concubines present, especially Concubine Shu, were dumbfounded when they saw it. They just used this as an excuse, but they didn't expect that Concubine Yang really asked them to accompany Li Buddha to pick up Buddha beans.
It's okay to worship the Buddha, just kneel and recite scriptures, but to pick up Buddha beans, you have to kneel to pick up one, recite a line of scriptures and then kowtow to the head.
But they had already said their words, and Concubine Yang had already started to pick them up. Now they couldn't do it anymore if they didn't want to, so they had to kneel on the futon and pick up Buddha beans.
However, everyone still had a little bit of luck in their hearts, thinking that Concubine Yang is not in good health on weekdays, they might stop picking up for a while, and when they follow the trend, Concubine Yang will not be able to say anything.
But what they didn't expect was that although Concubine Yang was not in good health, she was used to worshiping Buddha all the year round, and she was used to kneeling long ago. This kneeling lasted for two hours.
For the first hour, all the concubines were still gritting their teeth and persevering. After an hour, each concubine began to crumble. By the time Concubine Yang finished kneeling for two hours, many concubines were completely unconscious on their kneeling legs.
So when Concubine Yang got up and said with a smile that she would continue to chant scriptures, all the concubines, including Concubine Shu, couldn't hold on any longer. With the help of the palace maids, they all got up with difficulty, and then hurriedly found reasons to say goodbye .
From then on, the concubines in the harem never dared to enter Concubine Yang's palace gate. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
