Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 214
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Ping'an got up early, washed up, and finished his breakfast. He found Huizheng and told Huizheng that he had something to go out today, so he would not see a doctor in the temple. Huizheng thought he was going to visit friends. , of course there is no second word.

Wang Pingan went to Di Renjie again, saying that he had urgent matters to deal with today, so he did not take him with him.Di Renjie blinked his eyes and looked thoughtful, but didn't ask any further questions.

Fearing that the news would be leaked and people would ask questions, Wang Pingan only took Ouyang Li alone, rode with him, left the Inspiration Temple, and rushed to the Ganye Temple.When passing Zhuque Street, Wang Pingan specially bought a map of Chang'an scenery, that is, a map, and left Gwanghwamun to drive northwest.

Ganye Temple is not in Chang'an City, but in the northwest direction outside Chang'an City, which is the site of Chang'an City in Han Dynasty.It takes a lot of woods to get there.

According to folklore, this Ganye Temple was specially built for noble widows.This is because before the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the ruling class was still Hu people.Hu people have a problem, and of course the Hu people themselves don't think it's a problem.That is, whenever the head of the family dies, the family property is not directly inherited by the son, but by the younger brother. In the process of inheritance, except for the main wife of the head of the family, concubines must also be inherited by the younger brother. Even if the younger brother marries the former sister-in-laws, the younger sister-in-laws are also part of the property in the eyes of the barbarians.

Later, under the influence of the Central Plains culture, the Hu people began to gradually change this kind of atmosphere, becoming sister-in-laws who had children, supported by their children, and their younger brothers did not inherit, but sister-in-laws who had no children were still To belong to my brother.

However, after the younger brother died, the property was still not inherited by his own son, but by the son of the head of the family.This created a situation where my father's concubine became my own concubine. Of course, this is not a serious matter on the grasslands, but Turkic people still have this custom.However, the Xianbei people have a high degree of Sinicization after all, and they have actually become Han people. Therefore, in order to eliminate this unethical custom, they advised those sister-in-laws who have not given birth to children to either remarry or become nuns, so as not to be regarded as property , being inherited and inherited, everyone is embarrassed!

Ever since, the nobles began to spend money to build a nunnery, and the Ganye Temple was not built by ordinary nobles, but by the royal family of the former Sui Dynasty. It was considered a royal temple, and most of the nuns who became monks were The former noble women, and their former maids.

Of course, this is just a folk theory. Whether the description in the unofficial history is true or not, there is no way to verify it. Even if someone tries to verify it with confidence, that person’s purpose must be similar to Zhao Bi’s.In fact, there are many theories about Ganye Temple, all of which are quite reasonable, but Wang Pingan is not interested in whether Ganye Temple was merged with other temples, or changed its name later, or what, as long as it can be found. What the hell is going on with it!
After leaving Chang'an City, headed north all the way, and after a short while, came to a small village. The small village was not big, with only a dozen households, but the houses were well-built. It seemed that this village was relatively wealthy.

Wang Pingan took out the map, looked forward, and said to Ouyang Li: "This used to be the bell room of Changle Palace, and it was here that Han Xin was hacked to death by someone sent by Empress Lu!"

Ouyang Li snorted, pointed at the small village with his horsewhip, and said, "It turns out that Han Xin died here! But there is no shadow of a palace here, and it has long been a place for people to live!"

"The vicissitudes of life, the times have changed, how can there be an undefeated family, and how can there be a prince who will live forever!" Wang Pingan said with emotion, and then looked at the map, and said: "Not far ahead, it is the Ganye Temple, let's hurry up Let’s go, we’ll be there in a while!”

Ouyang Li looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Master, I have heard of that Ganye Temple before, and most of the nuns there are beautiful, and it seems that there have been rumors in the market, especially from the mouths of the wicked young men in Beijing... ..." Speaking of this, he felt that it was not easy to be explicit, so as not to offend the master, so he had no choice but to say: "But they are monks after all. If the master wants to try something new, what kind of girls can't be bought in the market, why bother?" come here!"

But Wang Pingan waved his hand and said, "I'm not here to see the nuns, I'm... I want to renovate the Lingling Temple, and I want to refer to the layout of the Ganye Temple, don't get me wrong!"

"Refer to the layout of the nunnery, to renovate the monk's temple?" Ouyang Li grinned, this reason is too far-fetched.But Wang Ping'an is the master and he is the servant. Even if he knows one, two, three in his heart, he can only say four, five, six.He nodded and said: "So that's the case. Seeing that Lingling Temple is in such a dilapidated state, it's time to repair it!"

The two rode horses again, passed through a large forest, and finally came to the front of Ganye Temple.

Wang Pingan rode on a white dragon horse, looked at the gate of Ganye Temple, and said, "This temple is really not small. If you go around the mountain, you may not be able to ride a horse!"

Ouyang Li thought to himself: "Sure enough, we should go to the back of the mountain!" He said, "Master, shall we go in directly, or go to the back of the mountain first?"

Wang Pingan hummed twice, shook his head and said, "Although they are all monasteries, nuns live in them. I'm afraid it's wrong for the two of us to go in rashly. Why don't you go to the back mountain and enjoy the scenery!"

Ouyang Li thought to himself: "Then this is not to see the pattern, but to see the nun taking a bath!" Without saying a word, he followed Wang Pingan to the back of the temple.

The back mountain of Ganye Temple is a large forest with overgrown weeds and a small stream flowing out.It seems that this creek is the one Zhao Bi mentioned!

It was impossible to ride a horse in the forest, so Wang Ping'an got off the white dragon horse, threw the reins to Ouyang Li, and said, "You wait here, I'll go in and have a look, and I'll come out in a while."

Ouyang Li snorted, and couldn't help but said: "Master, don't you want me to go in with you? In case you think about...what, I can hold it for you!"

Wang Pingan reprimanded, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, just wait here honestly, don't run around!" After finishing speaking, he tucked the corner of his robe into his belt, adjusted his shoes and socks, and walked into the forest.

Ouyang Li watched from behind and shook his head, is the nun that good?No matter how good the nun is, she doesn't necessarily come out to take a bath every day, besides, there are so many mosquitoes in this forest...

Wang Pingan walked thirty or forty feet, and then came to the side of the creek. Looking up along the creek, he could see several steps on the opposite bank, and above the steps was the back gate of the temple!
Squinting his eyes, Wang Ping'an stood on the shore and looked along the wall, wanting to see where the flower wall that Zhao Bi was talking about was!

Ganye Temple, Buddha Hall.

The nuns had just finished their morning classes and had dispersed, but the abbot of the temple did not leave. She was entertaining a guest, and this guest was an extraordinary lady from Beijing.

At this time, the noble lady was kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, clasped her palms, closed her eyes, and whispered something in her mouth, but the voice was extremely small, as thin as a mosquito, even if she was the presiding old nun. He strained his ears, but couldn't hear what she was saying.

This aristocratic lady is in her twenties, with black hair like a waterfall, an oval face, long eyelashes, a pendulous nose, a cherry mouth, and delicate and smooth snow-white skin. She is truly a stunning beauty!
After a while, the noble lady opened her eyes, and said to the host with tears in her eyes: "Master, I have made up my mind, I would like to get rid of my black hair and be with the wooden fish from now on, please give me the ceremony of shaving! "

The host sighed, folded his palms together, and said: "Miss Ma, you are young, you have never been married, and there is no man and half woman in the world, so why do you want to leave the world, your parents in the family must not be willing! "

The noble lady blinked her eyes, tears slid down her eyes, she shook her head and said, "My parents have my younger brother to take care of me, so I don't need me. I have committed a lot of crimes, and a hundred deaths can't redeem me in case. Apart from becoming a monk, I can only use white silk to end the rest of my life. Teacher If Tairu doesn't accept me, I have no choice but to..." She said, sobbing and crying.

The host thought: "The four words of serious sin are too much. You are just a girl, and you are not married. It is not your turn to bring disaster to the country and the people. Everyone has sin, but it is not necessarily serious!" I wanted to ask you exactly what bad things you did, but because of your identity, I didn't feel ashamed to open my mouth.

This noble lady is not Princess Gaoyang, but the only daughter of Ma Qianli, a head of the Ministry of Rites, named Ma Mingmei.Ma Mingmei was regarded by Ma Qianli as the apple of his eye since she was a child, and she was trained to be good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as culinary celebrities. No, the husband will definitely treat her like a treasure!
But it's such a good girl, but she just can't get married!It's not that no one wants her, but that her parents dare not let others want her!

As the head of the Ministry of Rites, Ma Qianli's official duties are not too big, but they are not too small.Because of his good knowledge, he made friends with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries. In Chang'an, few people would dare to provoke him!

Ma Qianli's job is quite good, very leisurely, but powerful.When he is free, he has nothing to do for several years, but once he has something to do, others will be afraid of him!
Why?Because Ma Qianli is the one who approves the test papers!The grading of the imperial examination papers is very cumbersome. Instead of the examinees handing in the papers, the examiners will start to comment and determine the grades, but they must first check for typos.

Not to mention how knowledgeable a candidate is, if a candidate writes a typo on the test paper, or violates the taboo of the imperial court, then you don't need to read the article whether it is good or bad, and you will just fail the test!

Ma Qianli is the examiner who checks typos.The scientific examinations in the early Tang Dynasty were not ambiguous. You could tell whose papers were written by just looking at them.

For example, if there is the word "Banguan" in the test paper, if he doesn't like the candidate, if he adds a little bit, the candidate will become a "rabbit crown", then the candidate can just go home!

Ma Qianli does not have the power to decide whether a candidate can pass the exam, but he has the ability to decide whether a candidate will fail the exam. This is power!Therefore, in Chang'an City, or in the entire Tang Dynasty, unless he decided not to take the scientific research route in his life, no literati would dare to offend him!
Ma Qianli is well educated and has read a lot of books, so he was assigned to this position, and because of this, he made friends with many big shots.He really wants his daughter to marry into a real wealthy family, so he has been looking for a husband for Ma Mingmei!
However, Ma Mingmei's life is really hard enough, so hard that ordinary people can't match it!

Many years ago, Ma Qianli was optimistic about Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong made great contributions. He was one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Ma Qianli found Qu Tutong and said to him: "My wife is pregnant, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but you have a son and a daughter. Why don't we get married!"

Qu Tutong was very happy, so he said: "Okay, then we will be in-laws!"

As soon as the verbal marriage was settled, before Ma Mingmei was born, Qu Tutong died, and the marriage was over!
After a few years, Ma Qianli took aim at Li Xiaogong again, who was also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion. He found Li Xiaogong and said, "I have a daughter who is very beautiful and smart. Let me be your daughter-in-law. Do you like it?"

Li Xiaogong was also very happy, as Qu Tutong said back then: "Okay, then we two will be in-laws!"

But not long after these words were said, and before the formal engagement, Li Xiaogong died just like Qu Tutong, so the marriage had to be abandoned again!

Ma Qianli thought about it, my daughter's life is tough, it's unusually hard, other women are Kefu, but my daughter is dedicated to beating her father-in-law, every gram is accurate!But this also shows that Qu Tutong and Li Xiaogong are not lucky enough to be worshiped by my daughter and be her father-in-law!
Who in the world is the luckiest?That must be the emperor!Using this method, he figured things out and was very happy. It seems that my daughter is destined to be a princess, and I can only let the emperor be her father-in-law.

So, before he stopped for a long time, he asked someone to talk to Xiang, wanting to marry his daughter into the East Palace and make him a concubine for Prince Li Chengqian.But before the matter could be done, Li Chengqian's incident happened and he was abolished!

Ma Qianli continued to work hard, seeing what the emperor meant, it seemed that he wanted Li Ke, the king of Wu, to be the prince, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Li Ke again, hoping to marry his daughter to her.But not long after, due to Changsun Wuji's firm opposition, Li Ke not only failed to become the prince, but fell out of favor, and was suppressed by Changsun Wuji so that he could no longer hold his head up!
Ma Qianli was dumbfounded at this moment, his daughter used to be the father-in-law of Ke, but met someone as mighty as the emperor, she couldn't hold back, but changed the direction of the wind, changed to Kefu!Moreover, Kefu fought quite violently, he didn't even mention the marriage, and directly crushed a prince and a prince to the bum!
Is it God's will? My daughter is destined not to marry, but to be alone all her life?
Ma Qianli no longer dared to propose a kiss to his daughter, and kept her by his side all the time.As a result, Ma Mingmei is twenty years old, and she has been staying in her boudoir!
On the contrary, the Ma family is rich and doesn't care about raising their daughter for a lifetime.But things in the world are always better if they are good, and worse if they are bad.Ma Mingmei went hunting with her younger brother a few days ago, maybe because she rode a little too hard, but when she came back she was unwell and had an unspeakable illness!
