Chapter 965: Benevolence

It was already three days later when Cao Yong saw Zhiran.

It was the Ministry of Revenue’s turn to be on duty, and Cao Yong followed several officials from the Ministry of Revenue to meet the Lord of Changchun Garden.

When I came down from the front of the emperor, I saw a few people outside the Qingxi Bookstore. Because there were civil and monks, it was very eye-catching, so Cao Yong took a look.

The layman dressed in bright Mongolian robes; the monks dressed in several people, and the leader was smiling and looking at Cao Yong. Not Zhiran, who was it?

Cao Yong stopped, and before the joy of reunion was revealed, a little bit of surprise came out. He really couldn't imagine why Zhiran was standing in front of others in this outfit.

Although they are all monks, Tibetan Buddhism is very different from the Buddhist studies in the mainland, and the monk's robes are also different.

Zhiran had gray monk's robes all year round in his early years, but now he was already purple-red lama clothes. He stood in front of the Mongolians and lama monks and brought a bit of different majesty.

After not seeing each other for several years, Zhiran has not seen much change, but his skin color is not as white as before. It looks like he has dyed the world and has added a lot of popularity.

"Zhiran..." Cao Yong called in a low voice.

Zhiran smiled at the corner of his mouth and looked at Cao Yong, but he smiled without saying a word.

At this time, Wei Zhu came out and said loudly: "Transfer to the emperor's oral order, Xuanzebu Zundanbahutuketu's seat, Master Lingzhi, was greeted by him!"

Then, Zhiran lowered his face and said, "I received the order!"

When Cao Yong saw him, he couldn't help but be stunned. Zhiran actually transferred to the Yellow Sect and worshipped him under the name of Zhebuzundanbahutuktu. What's going on?

Zhiran had already lowered his head and followed Wei Zhu into the bookstore.

Several officials from the Ministry of Revenue were already moving away. Cao Yong hesitated for a while and went out with the adults first.

After leaving the Second Palace Gate, Cao Yong took a few steps and went forward to take leave with the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue. He only said that the Sixteenth Prince had something to do to him, and several other adults returned to the yamen.

It is well known that he has a good relationship with the Sixteenth Prince, so the two ministers did not ask anything.

According to convention, as an official of the escort, Cao Yong had a ten-day holiday after returning to Beijing. Because he had two errands and felt that he had paid the bill at the end of the year, he only had a day off and worked as a service in the Ministry of Revenue.

As he was so diligent, the two ministers naturally saved things and let Cao Yong take care of him. Then he took a carriage back to the city.

Cao Yong waited outside the second palace gate and did not rush to leave the garden.

The guards on duty outside the Ergong Gate knew Cao Yong and had seen him slightly.

Cao Yong knew that Zhiran went to Mongolia to study Buddhism. The two had been in exchange for letters a few years ago. However, they always felt that there was something different.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Zhiran, who was surrounded by monks and lay people, walked slowly towards him.

Seeing Cao Yong waiting in front, he stopped, turned around and said a few words to those people, and then walked to Cao Yong alone.

"Donor Cao!" His smile was calm and his voice was still so crisp. He stood there, as if the two had not been separated for several years.

Cao Yong was a little swaying. If Zhiran's appearance when he was young was a little bit like Cao Yong; then after the years of precipitation, Zhiran's appearance was more like Cao Yin.

If others can't see it, Cao Yong believes it; if Kangxi can't see it, Cao Yong will definitely not believe it.

"Zhiran, have you really been transferred to the Yellow Sect?" Cao Yong asked.

Zhiran smiled and said with a smile: "Whether it is the Central Earth Zen Buddhism or the Western Regions Yellow Sect, all the sources are inseparable from the sect. Cao Duke is not a person who is obsessed, how can he have obsession?"

Cao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you were unrestrained."

Outer Mongolia is different from Inner Mongolia. Although it cannot be completely said that politics and religion are united, Zebu Zundan Bahu Tuktu's status is unshakable.

The Khans and the Mongolian princes of Khalkha were mostly grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Zebuzundanbahutuktu; in the minds of the Mongolian people, the great Lama is a living Buddha and the one who should respect the most. In the yurts of Khalkha, eight out of ten will be attached to the small statue of Zebuzundanbahutuktu. In the hearts of the people, the respect for this living Buddha is no less than that of Guanyin, Tathagata, etc.

Being a disciple of Zebu Zundan Bahu Tuktu, you will never be as comfortable as being a young monk in Qingliang Temple; when enjoying the supreme honor, you will also be shackles of fame and fortune.

Cao Yong and Zhiran's childhood friend knew that his personality was definitely not a person who liked power and wealth.

Did he really put this shackle on his own initiative?

The north wind blew, and Cao Yong felt cold all over.

Zhiran looked at him quietly, as if he realized his guess, and said, "All life is suffering. Since the little monk has gone through the world, how can he avoid the world? The laughter, anger and scolding are all illusions, and donor Cao doesn't need to worry about it!"

Seeing that Zhiran was comforting, Cao Yong sighed and said nothing, and said to him.

Not far away, the monks and lay people walking with Zhiran stood in front of several carriages, looking at Zhiran, without any intention of leaving.

Cao Yong knew the tact and said to Zhiran: "After separation for many years, I don't know where to talk about each other. I don't know when I have time to tell my feelings about it?"

"The great lama will arrive in Beijing the next day. The little monk will go to Huangsi today and tomorrow to prepare for the great lama's station. If it is convenient for the donor Cao, the little monk wants to visit Donor Cao tomorrow at the Youth hour?" Zhiran thought for a moment and said.

Cao Yong nodded, farewell to him, and watched him take everyone away by car.

Cao Yong pondered for a while, took down his waist card, called an eunuch at the entrance of the garden, and asked him to pass the message to the Sixteenth Prince.

After a moment, the sixteenth prince walked over.

"Furuo looked for me?" asked the Sixteenth Prince.

"When will the Sixteenth Master return to Beijing?" Cao Yong asked.

"I'll go back today. If the Emperor Ama hadn't ordered Nanyuan to go around, I would have thought it would have been back." said the Sixteenth Prince.

"Nanyuan Xingwei?" This was the first time Cao Yong heard about it, and he said a little strangely: "The Holy Lord has only been back from Rehe for a few days, why did he remember to come again?"

"A few days later, Zebuzundanbahutuktu led the Khalkha kings to the court, and they always wanted to see the power of the Eight Banners soldiers." The Sixteenth Prince said this and said, "By the way, I entered the list of Lifan Academy yesterday, and Hang Seng's father was also on the list."

"Does the Sixteenth Master know that Master Lingzhi?" Cao Yong asked.

"Master Lingzhi? This name is a bit familiar." The sixteenth prince pondered and said, "Yes, I saw it in the booklet yesterday. The eldest disciple of Buzundanbahutuktu has a very high name. The great lama is about to be 90 years old, so this eldest disciple cannot be less old. But he was not allowed to hear it in his early years, perhaps because he has been in Outer Mongolia."

"If the Sixteenth Master enters the city, can you help me? Go to the Lifanyuan to check whether the emperor has the will to enthrone the 'Master Lingzhi' in recent years." Cao Yong said.

Zhiran went from You Fang to a great disciple under the name of the great lama, and this cannot be explained by just a "following relationship".

"Huh? Why is Furuo still in charge of other people's business?" The Sixteenth Prince was a little puzzled.

"Sixteenth Master, spiritual wisdom is wisdom." Cao Yong said.

At this moment, a guard had already brought the Sixteenth Prince's horse to him. The Sixteenth Prince waved his hand, but he had no intention of getting on the horse, but got on Cao Yong's carriage.

Zhiran and Cao Yong had a close relationship and stayed in the capital for several years. The sixteenth prince naturally recognized him.

After hearing Cao Yong's words, the Sixteenth Prince couldn't wait to get up even more impatient than Cao Yong.

After the carriage entered the city, the sixteenth prince asked to rush directly to Lifanyuan.

Because the Sixteenth Prince was not inquiring about secret orders, they were all in the document, so they didn't take much effort to find out the order of enthronement that Cao Yong wanted to find.

The decree was promulgated on September 17, 1996, the 56th year of Kangxi.

This day may be an ordinary day for others, but Cao Yong remembered it. Because this day was Cao Yin's "first seventh", and the Cao family also received an imperial edict, which was the decree to give Cao Yin the posthumous title.

Cao Yong couldn't tell what it felt, there was no doubt that this proved that Kangxi had long known that Zhiran. He chose to issue an order on the same day, and was it all "give" the Cao family?

However, I don’t know what role Cao Yin played in the relationship between the two.

"It was early enough for the enthronement six years ago!" The Sixteenth Prince also saw that something was wrong.

After leaving the Lifan Academy, he asked in a low voice: "Is it because Zhiran is the Emperor Ama? No wonder he is a great disciple at a young age. Speaking of the great lama, disciples and grandchildren are everywhere in Khalkha. Not to mention the young monk, he is not easy to even squeeze into the door to become a little disciple."

What the Sixteenth Prince was puzzled was exactly what Cao Yong guessed. However, no matter how speculation was, he had to listen to Zhiran's explanation.

The sixteenth prince returned to the palace with suspicion; Cao Yong thought about it and went to the Ministry of Revenue.

When he was busy, Cao Yong went back to his house directly.

The sympathy for Kangxi that was about to die was now all left with anger. Although Zhidan was bleeding from the Cao family, he had not received any kindness from the Cao family. Could it be that he had to be driven by Kangxi just because he was a descendant of the Cao family?

Compared with himself, an outsider who resurrected his corpse, Zhiran is the real eldest son of the Cao family.

Cao Yong took into account Li and did not break the window paper to recognize Zhiran's brothers, but he had already classified Zhiran in his heart.

I thought that he would be able to be free when he insisted on not returning to the world, but who would have thought that his relationship with the Cao family would make him deeply trapped in power disputes?

During the day and night waiting for Zhiran to visit, Cao Yong thought a lot.

I have a deep understanding of the so-called relationship between the Tian family. What was Kangxi's mood? On the one hand, he had a deep affection for the king and his subjects and gave him a strong posthumous posthumous title to Cao Yin; on the other hand, he put Cao Yin's illegitimate son on the reins and turned it into the court's eyeliner?

"You are not your intention to go to Mongolia. Did you receive the emperor's order?" Cao Yong asked in a hoarse voice when he saw Zhiran.

Zhiran nodded, sat upright, looked at Cao Yong's eyes with a little compassion.

"Why do you need to accept the order?" Cao Yong continued to ask.

Zhiran is a person outside the world and does not care about life and death. What is the reason why he is willing to go to Mongolia?

"It's just a cause and effect, don't think too much." Zhiran replied indifferently.

The so-called "cause and effect" is still for the "benevolence" of the Cao family?

Cao Yong sighed and said, "My father is underground, and he will not agree with you."

Cao Yong is not a shameless person. After Zhiran is burdened by the Cao family, he can still be calm.
