Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Five: Alien Monk

Capital.

The second floor of Taiyixuan Teahouse.

Wen Shangshu stood up and opened the door, and welcomed a man with a hat in.

The door closed, the man took off his hat, with dissatisfaction on his face, sat down to the left, glanced at the noisy street downstairs, and then looked at Wen Changjin with a teacup.

"My father has just lifted my palace's confinement, but the news you have sent is timely. What's the matter this time that I have to come to such a place?"

Wen Changjin was not at all unhappy on his face, but instead walked to the table, opened all the window sashes, and glanced downstairs.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know anything. I'll invite you to come here today. One is to discuss with Your Highness the matter of Xiaochang's participation in the imperial examination, and the other is to ask you to see the fun."

Yes, that man wearing a straw hat was the crown prince Zhu Bingyu of the dynasty. He was confined to his home for more than two months. At this time, he gained a lot of weight. He looked at the white and fat parts that looked a little similar to Fang Jizhong.

Zhu Bingyu had disdain on his face, but he endured it and did not have an attack.

"I know Xiaochang's affairs, but my father almost never sees me now. Even if I want to speak well, I can't start?"

Wen Changjin smiled, shook his head slightly and looked up at the prince. He chose this fat Zhu Bingyu to support him, not because of how powerful he has or how powerful his mother's family is.

It's just because he's cowardly and timid enough.

Such people are the easiest to control. Wen Changjin's face was not a trace of displeasure, but still had a smile.

"The prince is worried too much. I just hope that if someone mentions Xiaochang's participation in the imperial examination, you will object. There is no need to do anything, just express your disagreement. As for how to fight for it, this Xu Ge Lao will come forward."

Zhu Bingyu paused, feeling that his attitude seemed to be a little too much, and his face shook with a slight smile, then looked at Wen Changjin.

"You must understand Wen Shangshu, too, that the Queen Mother is struggling at this time. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu are the two who have lost their real power. I was jailed for many days, but when my father saw me, he still snorted coldly.

Even Fang Jizhong has no good expression on me, so it is difficult to protect himself. But don’t worry, you say this is something that I can do, by the way, what is the excitement you are talking about?"

Zhu Bingyu seemed to feel that he was a little too much. After explaining it, he quickly mentioned the second thing Wen Changjin said just now. Although he was a little stiff, he was showing goodwill to Wen Changjin.

Wen Changjin was still as he was originally, with a smile on his face, and he leaned close to Zhu Bingyu's ear and said a few words. When Zhu Bingyu heard this, his eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief.

"You mean, this monk came back from India, would he help us?"

Wen Changjin smiled and sat opposite Zhu Bingyu, narrowing his eyes like an old fox.

"This is not someone who helps anyone, but everyone takes their needs. What he needs is a lifetime of sages and a holy monk in Daliang Kingdom. He wants to establish a sect, set up an academy to teach, and save sentient beings. What does this count for us? It is just an extra temple. Whether the believers can be retained depends on his ability."

Wen Changjin paused and glanced at the window again. There seemed to be more people watching outside.

Zhu Bingyu also became interested in this and approached the window.

"A monk can control the decision of the father. As far as I know, Zhou Heng is a celebrity around the father, and Zhu Yunmo, who is the queen mother's eyes. How could he move easily? Just say that going back to Datong is just to save King Ning?"

Wen Changjin did not move, "Captain Prince knows that the previous dynasty had five stars in a row?"

Zhu Bingyu thought about it and seemed that there was something like this in his memory, and then he suddenly realized:

"Before the country was destroyed, someone mentioned this five-star celestial phenomenon, saying that the five-star celestial pearls were fighting for the brightness of the sun and the moon. At that time, the old monk who entered the palace to make a statement made himself burn himself in front of the palace gate in order to make the emperor of the previous dynasty believe it. This matter is recorded."

Wen Changjin nodded and looked at Zhu Bingyu's praise.

"The prince is knowledgeable. This matter has happened more than a hundred years ago. However, Your Majesty once said that if you learn from the past, what would you do if such a thing besides the present day?"

Zhu Bingyu raised his head and looked at Wen Changjin. His eyes, which were originally a little confused, became more and more determined, and finally nodded vigorously.

"As you said, if the situation is serious, or if something affects the dragon vein, the father will not ignore it, just don't know if this monk has this ability."

Wen Changjin smiled but didn't say anything. At this time, the teahouse suddenly became noisy. Zhu Bingyu and Wen Changjin both walked to the window and looked down.

A team of people rushed forward quickly and blocked both sides of the road. When they saw that this was the Imperial Guard, their mounts were fat, strong, and smooth. The Imperial Guards also had silver helmets and silver armor, which looked very dazzling.

On both sides of the road, these imperial guards were quickly blocked separately. The onlookers were looking forward to it, and the roadside became orderly and no longer as messy as it was at the beginning.

Soon, a sound of bells rang out, and a monk holding a Zen stick slowly walked up. His gray-white monk's robe was covered with a big red gold-sized cassock. He held a Zen stick in one hand and Buddhist beads hanging in the other hand, and stood on his chest with a single palm.

Every time he took, he seemed to be reciting something. He seemed to hear the shouts around him. The monk looked around with a kind face and a smile that seemed to be there.

If Zhou Heng was here, he would definitely be surprised. Why is this person so similar to the actor who plays Tang Monk in the 86th version of Journey to the West? He is simply the second Chi Chongrui. He is tall, long and fair in his skin. He is not as sun-drying as a worker.

Wen Changjin looked at the man with a faint smile on his face, and Zhu Bingyu seemed to be a little surprised because of this person's appearance.

"Who is this person?"

Wen Changjin did not look back and introduced in a low voice:

"This person's Dharma name is Jingyi. He is the great disciple of Master Yukong, the presidency of Baohua Temple. After Master Yukong passed away, this monk Jingyi went to India and returned after studying Buddhism for three years.

It is said that he has unique insights into astrology, and he has held a preaching and preaching scriptures wherever he goes, which has attracted a large number of students to debate with him, and he has not yet encountered an opponent."

Zhu Bingyu tried hard to think about it, but he knew that Baohua Temple was on the mountain in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and the incense was in full bloom. My mother seemed to have been there to eat incense, but Daliang believed in Taoism more, and there were many people serving elixirs.

He looked at Wen Changjin with confusion on his face.

"I know about Baohua Temple, but it seems that it is already a little depressed here. Is Master Yukong very famous?"

Wen Changjin shook his head with a smile on his face.

"Master Yukong is a person with mediocre qualifications and is ignorant of the world. He passed away in just a few years after he presided over Baohua Temple. However, his master was Master Xuyun, and he was the real number one person in Daliang Buddhism."

Zhu Bingyu nodded, "So that's it. I heard that Master Xuyun went to Tianzhu to practice Buddhism and finally returned to Daliang to open an altar to preach. Could this disciple also want to imitate his predecessors?"

Wen Changjin nodded with a smile on his face.

"Master Xuyun has not appeared for many years. Many people don't remember the incident of going to Tianzhu seventy years ago. It is said that he taught the sutra at Fahua Temple in Datong twenty years ago, but who has heard it?

However, this monk Jingyi did not follow the route chosen by his ancestors all the way west. He went south to Fuzhou to take a boat, then headed west to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures. The return journey was from Fuzhou to the capital. The believers and those who had heard him preached were hundreds of thousands, with a profound impact."

Zhu Bingyu had a shocked expression on his face, and he quickly lay down at the window and looked down. It seemed that the extraordinary demeanor of monk Jingyi was indeed a little different, and his every move was no worse than that of him, the prince.

"Looking at this scene, is he invited to Beijing?"

The smile on Wen Changjin's face instantly widened a little, and his eyes were shining with gleam when he looked up at the prince.

"When the Empress Dowager heard this, she hoped that Monk Jingyi would come to the palace to meet and eliminate disasters for Your Majesty."

Zhu Bingyu paused and widened his eyes. Everyone knew that his father was a person who took pills all year round and was extremely obedient to the Taoist style.

Why was this monk so surprised today that he actually allowed him to meet him?
