3.14

At that time, over two hundred monks from the capital went to Penglai Palace to present the memorial. The Left and Right Grand Councilors said upon their petition: 'The imperial edict ordered detailed deliberation on whether to bow or not; it is not yet decided, and you may wait until a later assembly.' The monks then withdrew. Thereupon they gathered in great numbers at Ximing Temple, deliberated together, and jointly presented petitions and statements to notify all the officials.
