Chapter 37

Chapter 037 The storm is coming

When Master Baojing saw that this scandal had happened in our temple and was being seen by the king, he was very upset and couldn't help shouting: "De Xing, what are you doing?"

Bisu caught up with Shuiyue and was talking sweetly under the tree. He was getting excited. He didn't notice anyone approaching at all. When he heard the abbot shouting loudly, he was shocked. Bisu was startled and was trying to find an excuse to excuse himself. , turned around and saw Yang Hao standing there, he couldn't help but be stunned, and even forgot to answer.

Li Yu was a devout Buddhist, and at the same time a passionate and talented man. He had a criminal record as he had stolen his sister-in-law, so he never took the affair of a monk stealing a nun very seriously. A monk once raped a nun. After that, the monastery had to deal with strict rules. When Li Yu heard about it, he excused the pair of wild mandarin ducks and said: "These monks and nuns who do not abide by the rules have not yet firm Buddhist hearts. They have an affair and their plan is to stay together forever." If you punish them severely according to monastery rules and then expel them from the monastery, won't you be fulfilling their wishes? In my opinion, for monks with such impure roots, just punish them to worship the Bodhisattva three hundred times."

The emperor said this, and no one in the temples dared to disobey him. Therefore, there were many monks and adulterers in the south of the Yangtze River. They visited prostitutes and hooked up with girls from good families. History records that they "acted indiscriminately and without restraint." ”.

However, Jiming Temple was the first Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty and the first of thousands of large and small temples in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with other temples, Master Baojing’s requirements were stricter, and the most important thing was the reputation. Now if his disciples violate the temple rules, even if they are punished In front of his fellow teachers and brothers in the temple, he had no face at all, not to mention that when the king saw him, he was obviously very angry.

Bisu was speechless and was speechless. Yang Hao was also shocked when he saw him. He asked this kid to stay in Jinling and wait for news about Yanyan and the baby. Why did he put on his cassock and go to the temple? This kid was too helpless. Yang Hao was confused and didn't know how to excuse him.

Li Yu was also a little displeased at first. When he took a closer look, he saw that the young novice and the young nun were as handsome as a pair. Li Yu was the person who knew how to appreciate beautiful things best, so he felt a little bit relieved in his heart. He liked it, and the displeasure on his face receded, and he smiled at Master Baojing and said: "Master of the temple, please don't be angry. I see that this pair of characters are handsome and not vulgar. How could they do such filthy things?" Well, wait for me to go ask them."

Li Yu stepped forward, and Master Baojing followed him bravely. When he got closer, he carefully looked at the appearance of the two of them. Jing Shuiyue had already bowed to the side in fear, her pink face and cheeks turned as white as snow. Li Yu felt a little pity for him when he saw Geng Sheng. Then he asked pleasantly: "What are the young master and this nun doing here?"

Yang Hao coughed quickly and reminded: "Little monk, this is the Lord of Jiangnan. How come you are so ignorant and don't know how to salute?"

Bi Su was not afraid at first, and he would not be afraid if Bao Jing really wanted to expel him from the temple. His goal was to get close to Shui Yue. Although Shui Yue had not shown any gesture to him, her attitude towards him was obviously different. She only blushed and smiled when she heard what he said. Even though she was a little bit angry, she had a unique charm. It was obvious that she already liked him and was not afraid that she would not be able to talk to her if she had no chance. But when she heard the three-eyed man in front of her, The little fat man was the leader of the Tang Kingdom. He had never seen such a big official before, and he felt a little panicked.

Yang Hao was worried for him when he saw it. When he saw Bisu was speechless and speechless, Li Yu also had a look of displeasure on his face. At this moment, Bisu suddenly remembered what Yang Hao had said when he was pretending to be an eminent monk from the Western Regions in Kaifeng: "What a eminent monk."

, all like to be aggressive. If you don’t feel comfortable responding to what others say, just say something vague.

But don’t worry if you don’t understand what you say. The more out-of-touch you say, the more it sounds like a Zen idea, the more people think you have profound Buddhist knowledge. If they don’t understand, they have to pretend to understand, and they don’t even dare to ask you. Besides, you

He is pretending to be a deviant, meat-and-potatoes monk, so if he doesn’t look like a monk, you don’t need to take it to heart.”

When Bisu thought of this, he immediately raised his chest and said: "Monks have jumped out of the three realms and are not among the five elements. They only worship Buddha and not secular people. Even if the king is in front of him, he does not need to worship the monk. On the contrary, the king should worship the monk."

"

When Bao Jing heard this, he was furious. Jing Shuiyue was even more frightened when he heard what he said to the king. But Li Yu smiled and asked, "Where did the young master start with these words?"

Bisu thought anxiously in his heart and babbled: "Well..., this...respecting the monk means respecting the Buddha, and respecting the Buddha means respecting the Dharma. That is making offerings to the Three Jewels and cultivating transcendent blessings. Although the young monk is an ordinary monk,

He is a follower of my Buddha, and if the king accepts my gift, he is accepting the gift of my Buddha, which would make the king commit a sin."

Yang Hao couldn't help but smile after hearing this. This wall dweller is too courageous. What kind of eminent monk are you? The abbot caught you even picking up girls, and you are still boasting nonsense here. He can also say it. Hmm...

This little nun is really good-looking, and this guy from Bisu is quite discerning.

Li Yu thought about Bi Su's words carefully, but he felt a sudden realization and hurriedly answered

He became more interested in this young monk who did not abide by the rules and was not afraid of the imperial power, so he asked again: "The young master is not polite in worshiping the Buddha. What he said makes a lot of sense. With this knowledge, he must be an eminent monk with a firm heart for Buddha."

, but I don’t know what the young master is doing here?”

Bisu rolled his eyes and said, paradoxically: "What is the king doing here, and what is the young monk doing here?"

Li Yu smiled and said: "I came to the temple today to pay homage to the Buddha."

Bisu said: "The young monk is here to pay homage to the Buddha."

"Could it be that the young master is worshiping the Happy Buddha?" Li Yu glanced at the little nun and almost blurted out these words. Suddenly he felt that as the leader of the country, it was not appropriate to say these words, so he endured it and said: "I go up alone to worship the Buddha.

, the Buddha is in the Main Hall, where is the Buddha that the young master worships?"

The more he blew, the better he became. He waved his hand and said: "The grass and trees, the eaves and tiles of the palace, you, me and she all have Buddha nature, and they are my Buddha."

The more Ye Luwen listened, the more ridiculous he became. He couldn't help but sneered: "Little monk, you are here to have sex with a little nun. You have already violated the sexual precepts. You are also boasting nonsense. You are obviously impure and do not abide by the rules."

A fake monk who eats meat and drinks wine must be guilty of all kinds of things, and he still brags about himself here."

Bisu rolled his eyes and said: "After the wine and meat passed through the intestines, it remained in the Buddha's heart. Keeping the precepts does not necessarily mean having a Buddha heart, and having a Buddha heart does not necessarily mean keeping the precepts. My Buddha is compassionate, but also has the wrath of thunder. Do you know that I am a Buddha?"

A prince, who can marry a wife and have children, eat meat and drink wine, and be good at everything?"

Baojing shouted: "De Xing, you are so bold. You can say such lawless words. That was before the Buddha became a Buddha. After the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree..."

Li Yu said thoughtfully: "The wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha kept it in his heart. Good! That's right. Buddhists abstain from wine and meat. This was a rule established by Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. At that time, the Buddha asked for alms, and he ate whatever he gave.

, it is true that he does not abstain from alcohol and meat. If the young master has Buddha nature and wisdom, and can say the verse 'When alcohol and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will remain in his heart', he is a great sage."

When Baojing heard what the king said, he could only respond respectfully: "The king's Dharma is profound and profound, and he has unique insights, which I cannot match."

When Bisu saw that Baojing had to listen to the king's words, he thought to himself: "My master is the number one master in the Tang Dynasty. All the monks must listen to his words, but he dare not disobey Li Yu's words."

, if I can climb this big tree and he tells Shuiyue to marry me, then the master of Jingxin Temple will definitely obey him."

Thinking of this, he decided to make friends with Li Yu and said, "Since the king came here to worship the Buddha and met the young monk, why didn't he worship him?"

Bao Jing was shocked and angry, and was about to scold him, but Li Yu bowed to him respectfully and said: "What the young master taught me is that believer Li Yu, this is the time to salute."

Bisu accepted the gift from him without returning the gift. Li Yu felt even more incomprehensible when he saw it. He felt that this little monk was full of wit in his conversation, and that he was an unusual person with his delicate features and delicate eyes. He might be the place where the boy descended to earth in front of the Bodhisattva's throne.

To him, I became even more frightened towards him.

The two of them had another exchange of words, and also asked Bisu about the personal affairs of Bisu and the little nun. Bisu was no longer afraid, so he improvised and spoke so wildly and wildly that he really didn’t know what to say. Ordinary people could hear what he was saying.

He is talking nonsense, but Li Yu is a man who is well versed in Buddhism. Any deviant and nonsense talk can be deduced into some Buddhist principles in the ears of people like him, and he can't help but feel convinced by Bisu.

The two chatted for a long time, but Li Yu still didn't finish his thoughts. At this time, it was time to leave, so he asked Abbot Baojing for paper and pen, and wrote a few lines of large characters on the white wall of the temple. After writing, he threw the pen away,

He said: "Today I had a conversation with the little master, and I have benefited a lot. I will give this word as a gift to the little master. The next day, I want to invite the little master to the palace to promote Buddhism, and I ask the little master not to refuse."

Yang Hao felt a little amused when he saw the meaning of the inscription. Bisu scratched his bald head and murmured: "What the king wrote is worth a thousand dollars a word. It's a pity... The king wrote on this wall, so he must be a little monk."

Do we need to demolish this wall before we can sell it?"

Li Yu laughed after hearing this, and felt that every word of this monk was very mysterious. He really should not be treated as an ordinary monk, but rather as if he had found a treasure, and he respected Bisu as a god.

After respectfully sending Li Yu away, Baojing returned to the side hall and looked at the inscriptions on the wall with worry. When the first master heard that the king had inscribed inscriptions in the temple, he happily brought a group of monks to build a pavilion on that wall.

A cover was added underneath to protect the imperial pen properly. When he saw Master Baojing facing the wall and working on his luck, with his bulging eyes like a golden cicada, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Abbott, the Lord is the abbot's disciple in our temple.

The inscription of virtue is a blessing in my temple. What is the reason for the abbot's expression?"

Bao Jing pointed at the wall and said with a sad face: "Junior brother, come and take a closer look and see what the national theme is about?"

The first master looked at the wall and saw three lines of big characters with flying dragons and phoenixes on the wall, which wrote: "Pour and sing in a low voice, Master Yicui, the master of Yuanyang Temple, and the abbot of the Fengliu teaching." The first master read it twice and was puzzled by it.

I turned my head and was about to ask about the treasure mirror when I suddenly woke up. I couldn't help but let out an "ah" and said in a panic: "This... what should I do?"

Pouring a cup of wine and singing in a low voice, Master Yicui, the master of Yuanyang Temple and the abbot of Fengliu teachings. Li Yu’s words clearly mean that Feng Bisu has become a master of picking up girls. He wants to marry and have children, pick up girls, and chase nuns. That’s all

Yes. Although Li Yu has lost the imperial title now, he is still the emperor of Jiangnan. The emperor's golden words are written down as imperial edicts. Should he obey them or not?

Especially since there are words of temple master and presiding in this sentence, how can we turn a blind eye, but if we want to obey, we must give up the abbot to Bisu, the flower monk? If Bisu becomes the abbot, where will Jiming Temple go?

? Baojing and the first senior brother looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't imagine what the Jiming Temple would be like at that time.

At this time, the thief from the wall came out with a stern look, followed them, and sang a fat song with a smile. He saluted with his head and said: "Master, the first master has invited me. Jiming Temple is the number one Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty. There are three monks in the temple."

Qian, how can my disciple He De be the abbot of this temple? Since the king allows his disciples to preside over the Fengliu teachings, then to promote Buddhism, the abbot of the temple still has to rely on the abbot of the master and the abbot of the disciples..."

He patted his golden bald head and thought with a smile on his face: "Pour a cup and sing in a low voice. Master Yicui, the master of Yuanyang Temple, the abbot of Fengliu teachings. Hahahaha..., the little monk is ordered to pick up girls, Baoyue you

This old nigger still dares to resist the decree?"

Li Yu started driving, and the large group of people slowly returned to the palace. On the road, the people were blocked by soldiers on both sides of the road. Among the crowd, a thin man with a sallow face, shabby clothes, and only a pair of eyes as clear as water followed them closely.

For a long time.

His eyes only wandered around the Khitan envoys. After searching for a long time, he could not see the person he was looking for. His eyebrows, which were slightly thin for a man, could not help but frown slightly: "He obviously came to Jiangnan with him. I heard that he is Yelu."

How come you don't take him out when you are a popular person next to Wen? Could it be that... he is qualified to accompany Yelu Wen and accompany Li Yu? "

He quickened his pace and hurried forward. As he followed the team, he searched among the ceremonial guards. After searching twice, there was still no trace of the target. Looking forward, he saw Li Yu's chariot and Yelu Wen waiting just one step away.

His eyes suddenly fixed on a man riding a white horse next to him. His body stiffened for a moment. The man smiled and nodded to the people on both sides and walked slowly past.

The yellow-faced man rubbed his eyes and hurriedly took a few steps, almost knocking down a salesman's pick. He hurried to the end of the bridge. Going further, he reached the imperial street. The soldiers were so tight that he couldn't pass. Then he stopped and focused on riding there.

The man on the white horse looked around, and his bright eyes couldn't help but open wider and wider. After a long while, he softly screamed like he was dreaming: "Second brother! It's actually the second brother..."

I saw Li Yu holding the chariot in the middle, one step behind him, with a tall and majestic war horse on each side. On the right was the Khitan envoy Yelu Wen, and the one on the left... Although his clothes and temperament were completely different from those in the past, his appearance

There was no change in the facial features. He would not be mistaken. He would never be mistaken. That was really her second brother...

He is her, Ding Yuluo.

She dressed up as a man and entered the Northern Kingdom alone. She traveled thousands of miles in search of Ding Chengye's whereabouts. She ate and slept rough all the way and endured countless hardships. Finally, she found out that Ding Chengye was under the command of Yelu Wen, the commander of the tribal army in Shangjing. She sneaked to Shangjing and followed Yeluwen in and out.

, I had also seen Ding Chengye walking beside Yelvwen, but Yelvwen had hundreds of followers shouting at him when he came in and out, and the guard was very tight, so she never found a chance to get close.

She didn't know that Ye Luwen was so cautious because he was wary of the emperor and Empress Xiao. She thought that he had always been like this and was worried about being unable to get close to Ding Chengye. However, she suddenly heard the news that Ye Luwen was on an envoy to the Song Dynasty, so she followed him all the way.

He came down. His vigilance here was indeed not as tight as when he went to Beijing, but it was strange that Ding Chengye, who had always been with Ye Luwen, rarely followed him in and out since he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. It was not until this moment that Ding Yuluo knew the reason.

Yang Hao is actually here.

Looking at Yang Hao, tears welled up in Ding Yuluo's eyes. She was originally a carefree young lady, but something unexpected happened. Her father died tragically, her eldest brother was disabled, he was indolent, and he was not doing his job, but he was still loved by her.

She became the enemy who killed her father, and her half-brother, with whom she had a growing affection, became strangers to her because of various entanglements between family members.

How much pressure and torture could she endure? She traveled thousands of miles from Bazhou to Shangjing, from Shangjing to Jinling, and traveled to and from the Three Kingdoms. She was already exhausted mentally and physically. When the Ding family suddenly encountered a disaster, when the food and grass were about to be transported to Guangyuan, it failed.

When there was a blizzard, when Cheng Shixiong, the defense commander of Guangyuan, was offended and couldn't get in, it was Yang Hao who helped her. She had already regarded Yang Hao as a brother she could rely on, but now...he was right in front of her, but Yuluo was

No shame in going to see him.

The eldest brother said that Ding Chengye was the murderer of his father. He was not only the cause of the indirect death of Yang Hao's mother, but also his sworn enemy. He was also the direct cause of the rift between his brother and sister. Before killing him, she

Wuyan went to see her second brother to plead guilty. She could only grit her teeth and watch Yang Hao approach step by step and then walk away from her a few steps away. She could only shoulder all the pain and fatigue.

Carrying.

When Li Yu's guard of honor left and the onlookers dispersed, Ding Yuluo stood alone at the bridge head, holding the stone railing, bowing her head silently, two lines of tears slowly flowing down her cheeks, and blending into the long river...

Li Yu returned to the palace and was about to return to the harem excitedly to tell the queen about the strange incident of meeting the young master De Xing today. A palace official hurriedly caught up and said: "The king, Wang Huan, the school secretary, wants to see you."

The school secretary is an official who is in charge of collating classics and correcting errors. It is not an important position. However, Li Yu likes to collect ancient and unique books and attaches great importance to reading articles. So when Wang Huan asked for a meeting, he thought he had discovered something rare.

Seeing this rare treasure, he quickly stopped and said, "Call him in."

When Wang Huan entered the palace, when he saw Li Yu, he said angrily: "I heard that the king went to Jiming Temple to worship Buddha again today and donated ten thousand gold?"

Li Yu knew as soon as he heard that he was here to remonstrate, his face suddenly darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Yes, so what?"

Wang Huan added: "I also heard that when the king saw a monk who did not abide by the rules and precepts, not only did he not punish him, but he chatted and laughed with him and even wrote an inscription as a gift?"

Li Yu laughed angrily: "I can't hide anything inside or outside the palace. There are big and small things in the palace, and they can be spread out in a matter of seconds. If there is any move outside, someone will immediately come into the palace."

, School Secretary, are you not sorting out the books in the library and copying the original copies? Are you here just to ask me for confirmation of these things? I am so happy about Buddhism, what do you want me to do?"

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and was about to leave. When Wang Huan saw him, he didn't care about being rude. He stepped forward and grabbed his sleeves and said: "The Lord of the country walks slowly. Ordinary people are like Buddhas. Naturally, they have nothing to do with the ministers. However, the country of Jiangnan hangs in the hands of the Lord."

, The world is looking forward to governance, just like looking at the clouds during a severe drought. However, the ruler of the country does not accept loyal advice and neglects political affairs. Year after year of famine, hungry people are wandering on the roads. Strong enemies are looking at each other across the river, eyeing them with eagerness. This is the day when the ruler of the country is lying on his salary and eating his courage.

It is a time of peace and tranquility. The ruler of the country favors the monks and despises the people. I would like to ask whether those who dedicate the people's fat in anointing and support the royal family are the monks or the people?"

Li Yu knew that he was a nerd and was loyal to him. Although he didn't like to hear his words, he didn't want to colden his loyal minister's heart too much. He could only comfort him with kind words: "You are a man who dares to die. A wise minister of the state is like this."

The blessings of the country. However, Gu believes in Buddhism and teaches all people to be good. He often goes out of the palace, and he has never seen hungry people blocking the roads. I have listened to you, but I am not too naive. I like your temperament.

I don’t blame you for being honest and honest.”

As he turned back to leave, Wang Huan rushed to stop him and said sadly: "Your Majesty, in the past Emperor Wu of Liang served Buddhism. He wrote Buddhist scriptures by piercing his blood. He sacrificed himself as a slave of the Buddha, knelt down to perform rituals for monks, and distributed them for monks to practice.

, and eventually starved to death in Taicheng. The current king is arrogant and arrogant, and is fond of superficiality. He has no regard for political affairs, is obsessed with Buddhism, and does not listen to loyal advice. I am afraid that the fate of the king in the future will be worse than that of Emperor Wu of Liang."

When Li Yu heard that Wang Huan compared him with that foolish emperor of Liang Wu, he couldn't help but became furious and sneered: "How could I write a Buddhist book with blood and sacrifice myself as a slave of the Buddha? I practice benevolence, govern by doing nothing, and never give indiscriminately."

How could such severe torture lead to the same fate as Emperor Wu of Liang, or even worse? Are you trying to imitate Pan You and Li Ping by making such nonsense?"

Pan You was a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ping was a senior official in the Tang Dynasty. They once wrote a letter to remonstrate, and their words were basically the same as what Wang Huan said today. Li Yu was furious and imprisoned Pan You and Li Ping. The two were imprisoned.

Out of anger he hanged himself.

Wang Huan puffed up his chest and said: "I came today to imitate Pan You and Li Ping. If the king wants to kill Wang Huan, Wang Huan is willing to accompany Pan You, Li Ping and other loyal people in the underworld!"

Li Yu sneered and said: "False words are used to threaten people, just to gain fame and reputation!"

Wang Huan was so angry that his face turned bloody after hearing these heart-wrenching words. He was originally a scholar with a bright head and poor knowledge. He didn't usually do any exercise. When Li Yu provoked him, he was so angry that he felt dizzy, his hands and feet were cold, and stars were scattered in front of his eyes.

I had a cold and almost fainted.

When Li Yu saw it, he ordered to his left and right: "Come on, help him down." After saying that, he walked away angrily. Li Yu was upset by Pan You's words. He arrived at the queen's palace in a depressed mood and refused to let anyone report.

When he walked into the hall, he heard two people whispering from behind the screen, and Li Yu immediately pricked up his ears...
