Chapter 131: Empty for Empty, Fear More Fear
Chapter 131: Empty or Empty, Fear More Fear
Li Wei had never seen the Dacien Temple Dharma Assembly, but he heard that the grand occasion was unprecedented. Not only in Chang'an City, but also in many nearby prefectures and counties, there were good men and women who went to listen to the lecture. On that day, Chang'an almost dispatched all the yamen runners and even soldiers to maintain order.
As for how many wallets people stole or how much oil ladies secretly took, there is no way to deal with it.
The scale of this Dharma Assembly in White Horse Temple was only a big one. The big square in front of the White Horse Temple was full of people and could not be squeezed out, so I went up the mountain road and into the forest. However, the seats in front of the platform were fixed, with the great Emperor, the Empress, and the Prince sitting in the middle. The others were officials and nobles. Next, they deliberately arranged the merchants in front, and they had to rely on them to "blow blood".
In fact, Li Wei was speechless. He could still listen while sitting in front, but he couldn't hear the one behind him. He probably couldn't even see the person behind him. But looking at these people, his eyes were extremely fanatical, as if there were not monks on the stage, but Arhats and Bodhisattvas who came to the world.
I sighed and listened. After listening for a whole morning, I almost wanted to go to bed several times. Finally, the morning's Dharma Assembly ended. They were privileged figures and received a rest from the vegetarian room.
In addition to them, there are also officials, family members, and businessmen in the vegetarian room. They respect you so much, and they don’t pay for it.
Most people, Li Wei didn't know each other, but in the crowd, he saw Di Renjie talking to Yan Liben. In addition to himself, he also brought his two daughters over. Did Old Di figure this time? It was indeed almost imprisoned Di Hui and Di Hao. The concubines who were sent into the cold palace in the palace were probably freer than the two girls. It happened to be a Dharma Assembly, so he brought them out to relax. However, seeing the crowds everywhere, Di Renjie was scared again and said, "Hui'er, good one, just stay by my father's side and don't leave."
The two girls just laughed, Di Renjie watched it tightly, and they were not used to it. But when they entered the palace and were favored by the prince, it was so difficult. The adoptive father did this for the sake of his two of them. He had no complaints.
Li Wei walked over.
Di Hao said with great admiration: "Your Highness, I... I admire you very much when I hear the answers between you and those masters."
"Your Highness, I am talking about this. Buddhism makes people good, but it is not evil. But Buddhism is ultimately a Western sect, and Confucianism is the right way to govern the country. Your Highness should not be obsessed with it." Di Renjie said seriously.
Yan Liben's face immediately became dignified.
He met countless people in his life, but Di Renjie was the most admired by him. As the prince's aide, it is also very important to not only make suggestions for the prince, but also to teach the prince. Seeing that he did not, just by giving advice, he was better than the many great scholars in Chongwenguan.
Li Wei shook his head and whispered: "Di Qing, please rest assured. I don't oppose people's beliefs about ghosts and gods, especially some decent religions, which always teach people to be kind. But I don't believe it very much. I heard some of the Zen teachings and thought of a sentence, "I saw that the mountains are mountains, not mountains, and the mountains are still mountains. So I arranged it."
"What does it mean to see a mountain as a mountain, not a mountain, or a mountain?" Di Renjie asked curiously before he came out.
"This is a state of mind. When you see the mountain, it is a mountain. You don't think about it. Then you think about it. There are stones, soil, trees, flowers and plants on the mountain. Some are high and some are low. This mountain is not a big elephant mountain in your heart. Finally, you slowly understand its essence and know the true meaning of the mountain. The mountain becomes a mountain again. However, it is different from the first way to see a mountain. Zen Buddhism is divided into sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment. The sudden enlightenment is what Master Shenxiu said just now, but ordinary Zen disciples do not have this understanding, so they need to gradually realize it. Whether it is sudden enlightenment or gradual enlightenment, it is impossible to realize it all at once. So when you first enter Buddhism, whether it is empty or empty, in the end, it is empty or empty. Then, you realize it, empty or empty."
It's all around, but Zen is really fun.
He heard him say something strangely, and everyone laughed together.
"Actually, after all, it's a vacuum, and everyone gets nothing together. What should we do in the end? Crops must be cultivated to gain something, scholars must study hard to have talent and learning. From Your Majesty to Officials, you need to manage diligently, the country can be prosperous and the government can be harmonious. Therefore, for thousands of years, the efforts of Confucianism have been the right principle of heaven and earth."
Confucianism may not be all right, but these officials are all from Confucians, so I have to say that. However, Confucianism is definitely slightly better than Taoism and Buddhism in governing the country.
"Besides, I didn't hear much, but I also heard that some lazy men, in order to evade the country's taxes, live in temples and seek to gain nothing. The more monks and Taoists there are, they occupy a large amount of fertile land, and these are not planned within the country's taxes. Therefore, the heavier the burden on ordinary people, it is not good."
"Yes," Di Renjie sighed. When he was in Shaolin Temple a few days ago, he had a similar problem with the prince. The rise of temples has added a heavy burden to the country.
Di Hui asked in confusion: "Since that's the case, why did Your Highness say so?"
"Since my father and mother have a hard time going out, I like it when I listen to the Dharma Assembly and I like it, so I can make them smile. This is to do my best to be filial to the son." A nice explanation is to flatter and alleviate the stalemate.
The prince came over to talk to Di Renjie, and Yan Liben said goodbye.
Watching him leave, Di Hao stuck out his tongue and said, "Sir, the child is so scared."
“Why?”
"In the past, Xianggong Yan heard that he had a good time when he was painting. My father, why not tell the truth. The child was worried."
"No one asked, why do you need to say it?" Di Renjie immediately dissuaded. It was impossible to spread it out and cause criticism. If you want to enter the Eastern Palace, it would be impossible. If you want to find an opportunity to reveal this to the queen. Others don't need to know. If Your Highness climbs the cauldron in the future, who dares to say it?
Li Wei did not say that, for example, when he gets along with his parents, it is mostly half true and half false. Honesty is certainly a virtue, and sometimes lying with kindness is also a virtue...
But Di's good character made him prefer it. He just had no choice but to lie, and he was proud of himself by lying, which was unsuccessful.
The old servant kept hearing the news from Luoyang on the road, which made him frightened.
But the memorial is like a snowflake, and the two emperors just stay and don’t send it.
I slowly woke up. So far, there was only Ming Chongyan, which made the emperor's illness tend to improve. The heavens and earth were great, but not as good as the emperor's life. Moreover, if I continue to force this way, the emperor and the queen will be very embarrassed, which may not be beneficial to the prince.
Or has the owner of his family thought of this long ago?
So he rushed to Luoyang again. He did not dare to ask for a meeting directly, so he pretended to be a peddler and entered the Ming Mansion.
After meeting, he asked, "Doctor Ming, why are you so careless?"
It would be wrong to use the position of the prince to suppress it, but let others suppress it in their best aspects.
"You still ask me? How long has I been in the court for the rest of my life? The foundation is unstable. No, it's not that there is no foundation at all. You force me to do this big thing. It's not that you can't do it, you need to take advantage of the situation." Ming Chongyan also became popular. Although wealth makes him eager, it is worth fighting for it. In this way, it's better to stay in Xijing safely, and at least you can live a stable life without worrying about food and clothing. Before preparing for the method this time, I felt uneasy, but Xu Jingzong's people were forced to do it urgently. Otherwise, they would not succeed or be so passive.
Therefore, he said, "It's not that you are too impatient, why are you so at a loss? Please tell your master that I have very little ability and you have too much demands. I'm sorry I can't do anything. The young master is unwilling to give up, so he can expose me, anyway, just wait for death."
"Doctor Ming, don't panic. If Your Majesty is not good for you, you will not leave the memorial to you."
"So what, can your Majesty still reward me?"
"No, but the prince is really a bit difficult..." As a confidant of Xu Jingzong, he had also had a few dealings with the prince. It was the original prince. After this action, the prince had already been knocked down by the master. But in this illness, the prince seemed to have all the orifices opened. Ming Chongyan gave up, and he also wanted to give up. Maybe he could retreat?
After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe this matter was wrong from the beginning. My husband chose you, not only did you have a long witch doctor scripture, but you also have a little bit, but you didn't make good use of it."
"That little?"
"I looked and treated His Majesty and was able to enter and exit the palace freely. If you say that the queen is sick, prescribe some prescriptions, including some hidden spring love medicines, what should I do?"
Ming Chongyan let him say something and fell down. After most of the day, he said, "I will never agree. Your husband wants to learn from Lu Buwei and regards me as Lao Ai, but what will happen to Lao Ai later? Not to mention that Your Majesty is still in the world now. Sorry, I stopped and collected my husband's money. I immediately ordered someone to take it out and return it to my husband."
"Do you think you're really safe? If you sit still, what will happen if the prince ascends the throne?" The old servant pulled him down and said, "Doctor Ming, and you are wrong. The queen is the queen. She is definitely not as good as the concubine of Empress Dowager Huayang. Besides, the queen serves Taizong and now serves Your Majesty. One minister is ashamed to serve two lords, one wife is ashamed to marry two husbands, and the father and son. You know your Majesty's health. The Queen is in her year of a tiger and wolf, and she is not a polite wife. This plan can be accomplished."
"No, it's not right. Your Majesty doesn't let me enter the palace now. Don't mention this matter." However, this kid had some thoughts in his mind. Preparing medicine is not a problem, and he will also have several types of contraceptive medicines. He has entered and left the palace several times, and he also knows some secrets in the palace. The queen has a very terrible method. Besides, although she is older, she is well maintained, she is an extremely beautiful woman.
Li Wei didn't know this idea. If he knew it, he would definitely use a horizontal knife to cut him with a horizontal knife regardless of what his father had.
"It's reasonable for Doctor Ming to worry. However, Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Even if he is entrenched, he will save your life. In the future, his health will deteriorate again, and he will still think of Doctor Ming. The young master's words will pave a golden road for you."
Although he was persuading, his fears and fears became heavier.
In the past, the young master successfully dealt with the prime ministers, but the methods were instructed by the emperor and the queen.
Now, not only is it not the case, but it is dealing with the prince. The prince is very difficult to deal with, and he also treats His Majesty and the Queen as pawns. If the matter is leaked, don’t let everything be leaked. As long as the matter is leaked, the entire Xu family will immediately suffer a catastrophe. Did he see Helanmin’s fate?
