Chapter 1,668 The Old Monk on the Farm

.

Old Tang Jian burst into tears, touched his son's head, and choked up: "You are all good boys, and each of you is ambitious. But if you are someone else, that's it. The king of Gaoping County is a member of the clan. No matter how unbearable he is, he is still a member of the clan.

Children of the clan, we can disrespect him, but we cannot disrespect the royal family, nor the blood of our great ancestors. If we are truly aggrieved, we are not seeking someone’s bad luck, but to make meritorious deeds. With meritorious deeds, who dares to despise our Tang Dynasty?

Family? If it can be like that, even if the father dies soon, there will be no regrets." When a person reaches a certain age, past achievements have no meaning. The most important thing is the achievements of future generations. Being able to have a promising son

, that is something more gratifying than gold and silver, high officials displaying their nobility. Changsun Wuji knew that Li Chengqian would not let him die but resolutely committed suicide by taking poison. Is it because he was desperate? No. The real reason is Changsun.

The promising sons of the family died one after another.

As a father, a family head cannot see any hope of revitalizing the family, and falls into despair, with nothing to love. His children can choose to be patient when Li Daoli provokes them, without direct conflicts, and can express themselves in their own way.

When you are angry, choose to let out a breath regardless of it. This is a reflection of the situation.

It's already good that he has a good attitude and has the responsibility as a son.

Although he is not as good as Fang Xuanling, he has such an amazing and talented son as Fang Jun, and cannot be praised as "having a son is like Fang's last love", but he is infinitely satisfied. A small and medium-sized storm has not disappeared.

No matter what the Tang family said, Zongzheng Temple had to clean up the law and give an explanation to the Tang family. King Li Yuanjia of Han hurriedly left to deal with the matter, but in the end it was just a drink.

A few words of scolding and a small fine, that's all. Sitting in a vigil in the evening, several princes came to Fang Jun's side. Fang Jun patted Li Yun on the shoulder, touched Li Min's head, and praised with a smile.

: "They are all very good, not only when others are attacking His Majesty,

The most important thing is to stand up and maintain His Majesty's prestige. The most important thing is to be brothers and advance and retreat together, which is enough to comfort Emperor Taizong's soul in heaven. He will be proud of you sons."

His Majesty Li Er devoted his whole life to his son's education. He racked his brains and tried every means to make his son a respectful, sincere and friendly son, but he failed miserably.

... Princess Yuzhang's funeral ceremony has very high regulations, second only to the queen's funeral ceremony. It is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Rites, Zongzheng Temple, and Honglu Temple. Cui Renshi, the minister of Honglu Temple, is under the supervision of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, Deng Shilong, and Zongzheng Shaoqing Li Xiaoyi.

Li Chengqian was absent from the court for three days, and all the court officials went to express their condolences. Those who could not come in person for some reason had to write a statement to explain. If the reason was not sufficient, they would even be impeached by the censor, and the punishment was extremely severe. Fifty pairs of clothes were given to the palace, and money was exchanged.

One and a half million, a thousand bolts of various kinds of cloth... The rewards were so generous that they directly stretched the rules to the top, which is enough to show that the emperor attached great importance to Princess Yuzhang. Of course, Tang Jian's hard work also contributed to it.

The reason for the high.

Originally, Honglu Temple and Qin Tianjian should be responsible for surveying and selecting the cemetery, but Li Chengqian ordered Princess Yuzhang to be buried with Zhaoling, so this link was omitted.

On the first seven days, Li Daoli, the king of Dongping County, came to the Tang Mansion in person and apologized in front of everyone. Tang Jian took his hand and entered the manor. He was tolerant and generous, and the estrangement was eliminated.

By the time Princess Yuzhang was buried and the noisy funeral ceremony was over, Guanzhong had entered the most unbearable heat season... Although the heat in Guanzhong was unbearable and the Tai Chi Palace was like a steamer, Li Chengqian did not go to Lishan or Jiucheng Palace to escape the summer heat.

With this idea in mind, he just stayed in the Wude Hall without moving at all, surrounded by strict guards, not allowing anyone to

People can take advantage of this opportunity. Li Chengqian dreamed of proving to Emperor Taizong that he was a qualified emperor. Even though he was not as talented and majestic as Emperor Taizong, he was definitely no worse than others. But now he could calm down and face the situation.

Up and down the government and the public, Zong

The undercurrent of turmoil inside and outside the house is not greedy for success, and this approach has won unanimous praise. The emperor should be upright, upright and invincible. The emperor who wants to conquer the world can take risks and be the emperor of the world.

We must put safety first, otherwise the situation will be turbulent all day long and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be in trouble.

Where to go? Princess Gaoyang was extremely tired, sad and depressed after many consecutive days of mourning. As the Ghost Festival was approaching, Fang Jun simply took his family who stayed in Beijing out of the city to Lishan Mountain to escape the summer heat. The weather would cool down after the Ghost Festival.

Back to Chang'an. Early in the morning, the servants packed up many clothes and daily necessities and loaded them into several carriages. Fang Jun invited Jin Deman again. Jin Shengman and his sister rode in the same carriage and set out surrounded by dozens of soldiers.

When we arrived at Chunming Gate, it was so majestic

Let’s go to Lishan Mountain.

When they arrived at the Lishan Farm, the family members entered the village, while Fang Jun led the horse and a few soldiers to wander around the village. The farm that was set up to settle the refugees in the past has now become the most prosperous area in the entire Lishan Mountain.

Refugees settled here and lived and multiplied. In addition, there were always servants of the Fang family and disabled orphans and widows in the army.

After moving here, the population has reached more than 5,000 people, which is almost the same size as a remote lower county.

In terms of prosperity, the cultivation of corn, the popularization of greenhouses and their technology, and the increase in textile workshops have made Yeosan Farm extremely wealthy, almost like a Shangxian County in the Gyeonggi region. The main street is the one in front of Bangjiabiewon.

On the street, the ground is not cement but neat bluestone slabs. There are many houses on both sides, with all kinds of banners hanging in front of the door. There are breakfast shops, restaurants, wine shops, grocery stores, and clothing stores.

, even a mule and horse market, blacksmith furnaces, etc. are all available. This kind of town full of incense is Fang Jun’s favorite. He is extremely proud to create the entire Lishan Farm from scratch, especially

On the streets and in farms, you can see the words "Literacy is glorious," written on the walls everywhere.

Slogans such as "Illiteracy is shameful", "Self-reliance and hard work", "One person is literate, the whole family is glorious" etc. filled Fang Jun with a "bad taste" sense of accomplishment. Not only were the bluestones on the main street neat and smooth, even the shops

In the village behind, the roads are still smooth and clean, and the houses are lined up row upon row. The houses with red bricks and black tiles are arranged in rows. Most of the farmyards are home to chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and other poultry and livestock. People walking in the village hold hands behind their backs.

On the way down, I would check whether the drains were clogged from time to time, take out an egg from the firewood pile, and look at the smoke curling up from the chimneys of every house, and I just felt

The mood was peaceful. Until I saw an old monk wearing a hundred-year-old robe and holding a copper bowl appeared at the entrance of the village, and farmers kept coming out of their houses to give away coins or bring water and food for the old monk to enjoy.

,house

Jun's good mood disappeared in an instant. "The Duke of Yue has compassion and resettled countless refugees here. It is really a great merit. Such a person who is a Buddha in thousands of families should have a Buddha's heart, but why is he so distracted when he sees Lao Monk, a monk?

Not smooth, even showing disgust in the eyes

Light?" The old monk's face is simple and deep, and his dark skin is densely covered with wrinkles. Each wrinkle seems to squeeze out a bit of hard work and perseverance. Especially his eyes, which are black and white, are shining brightly, never like an old man.

The monk's mental state.

The villagers were naturally very familiar with Fang Jun. When they heard the old monk's words, they all stood on both sides in surprise. They didn't know why Erlang was so unhappy with this kind-faced and obviously profound old monk. Fang Jun's eyes started from the old monk's bald head.

The wrinkles on his face, the robe on his body, and the straw sandals on his feet shook his head: "People like you who are pretentious have already deviated from the original intention of Buddhist disciples, let alone be called a monk.

, How can you get my respect? Not having someone beat you up in Zhuangzi is already a sign of respect for Master Xuanzang."

The old monk's eyes were bright, but he was not upset. He even asked with great interest: "Why can't I be considered a family member? Please enlighten me."

The original intention is to be frugal, but the hundred-pin garment you are wearing is made from a whole piece of cloth that was shredded and re-sewed, so I say you are pretending. Although your feet are worthless straw sandals, they are brand new and neat, and the toes are clean, walking like a monk.

In the world, those who have deviated from the intention to spread Buddhism are obviously people who are addicted to pleasure and live a prosperous life. What kind of monks are they?

Woolen cloth?"

After hearing what Fang Jun said, the villagers all looked at the old monk and found that it was true, and they suddenly became angry.

"What Erlang said makes sense, this old monk doesn't look like a good person!"

"A rich monk actually wants my charity, how do you feel about it?"

"I just saw how pitiful you were, so I gave away ten copper coins. Since you have more money than me, give it back to me." Several people were filled with indignation. They were willing to give alms to monks who preached scriptures, but were unwilling to give a penny to them.

A monk who was pretending to be even richer than them rushed forward and gave the old monk the alms he had just given.

The copper coins were taken back from the copper bowl... The old monk was not angry, but just watched with a smile. When the villagers calmed down, he said to Fang Jun and Yan Yuese: "What the Duke of Yue said is true, I have learned the lesson.

However, it is not that Lao Na is cheating, monks and monks are also different. Some monks travel around to popularize believers, some monks station in temples to receive incense, and some monks decipher Buddhist scriptures and spread Buddhism...Lao Na is the latter type. This hundred-naked robe is indeed

As the Duke of Yue said, it was cut from a whole piece of cloth, but he was not trying to show off. In the Daci'en Temple, I assisted Master Xuanzang in deciphering the Buddhist scriptures he had obtained from Tianzhu. He had enough food and clothing, and lived a comfortable life, but he could not

Go out wearing brand new clothes

?It may seem pretentious to shred the whole cloth and sew it again, but in the end it is better than wearing neat new clothes." Fang Jun raised his eyebrows. This old monk obviously knew him, so it would be very important for him to appear here.

Maybe he came here for himself, not for alms or evangelism.
