Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty

When Master Baojing saw this scandal in this temple, and was watched by the king, he couldn't help but shouted: "De Xing, what are you doing?" Bisu caught up with Shuiyue, and was whispering sweetly under the tree, and the words were on the rise, and he never noticed anyone approaching. When he heard the abbot yell, he was shocked. Bisu was taken aback, and was trying to find an excuse , turned around and saw Yang Hao standing there, couldn't help being stunned, and even forgot to answer. Li Yu is a devout Buddhist believer, and at the same time a passionate talent. He himself stole his little sister-in-law, and he is considered a person with a criminal record, so he has never taken the affair of a monk stealing a nun very seriously. A monk once raped a nun. The temple must be dealt with strictly. After hearing this, Li Yu excused the pair of wild mandarin ducks and said: "These monks and nuns who don't abide by the rules, the Buddha's heart is not firm yet, they have an affair, and their plan is to stay together. If they are severely punished according to temple rules, and then expelled from the temple, wouldn’t that be fulfilling their wishes? In my opinion, for such monks whose six faculties are unclean, it is enough to punish them to worship the Bodhisattva three hundred times.”

The emperor said so, no one in any temple would dare to disobey, therefore, there are many monks and adulterers in the south of the Yangtze River. ". However, Jiming Temple is the number one 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 has stricter requirements, and the most important thing is the reputation. For the brothers and sisters in the temple, he also loses face, not to mention being seen by the king, of course he is very angry. Bi Su squeaked and couldn't speak, Yang Hao was also surprised when he saw him, let this kid stay in Jinling to wait for the news of Yan Yan and the baby, why did he put on cassock and go to the temple?This kid was too helpless, Yang Hao didn't know what to do, and didn't know how to excuse him for a while.

Li Yu was also a little displeased at first, but after a closer look, the handsome young monk and the young nun were just like a pair of beautiful people. Li Yu is the person who knows how to appreciate beautiful things best, so he has something in his heart Like it, the displeasure on his face receded, and he smiled at Master Baojing: "Don't be angry, the master of the temple. I think this pair of characters are beautiful and not vulgar. How could they do such a dirty thing?" Well, wait for Gu to ask them." Li Yu stepped forward, and Master Baojing followed behind him bravely. When he got closer, he took a closer look at the appearance of the two of them. Jing Shuiyue was already frightened to the side, and his pink face and peach cheeks were as white as snow. Then he asked kindly, "What are the little master and this nun doing here?"

Yang Hao hurriedly coughed and reminded: "Little monk, this one is the Lord of Jiangnan, why is he so ignorant and doesn't know how to salute?" Bisu wasn't afraid at first, and he wouldn't be afraid if Baojing really wanted to drive him out of the temple. His goal was to get close to Shuiyue. He only blushed and smiled when he said some nonsense, even if he was a little angry, he was also charming, obviously he already liked him, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to talk to her if there was no chance, but when he heard the three-eyed man in front of him The little fat man is the lord of the Tang Kingdom. He has never seen such a big official before, so he felt a little flustered.

Yang Hao was anxious for him when he saw it, seeing that Bi Su was speechless, Li Yu also showed displeasure on his face, at this moment Bi Su suddenly remembered what Yang Hao said when he pretended to be some eminent monk from the Western Regions in Kaifeng: "Eminent monk! , I like to play sharply. If you feel that it is difficult to answer what others say, then just say something ambiguous and unintelligible. He thinks that you have advanced Buddhist knowledge, and he has to pretend to understand if he doesn't understand, and he dare not ask you. Besides, you are pretending to be a deviant wine and meat monk, and if you don't look like a monk, you don't have to take it to heart."

Thinking of this, Bi Su straightened his chest, and said: "The monks jump out of the three realms, not among the five elements, they only worship the Buddha and not the vulgar, the king is in front of him, and the little monk doesn't need to worship. But the king should pay homage to the little monk. " Baojing was furious when he heard that, and Jing Shuiyue trembled even more when he heard what he said to the lord, but Li Yu smiled and asked, "Where did the little master start?" Bi Su thought anxiously, and said nonsense: "Well..., this... Respecting the monk is respecting the Buddha, and revering the Buddha is respecting the Dharma. That is to make offerings to the Three Jewels and cultivate the blessings of rebirth. Although the young monk is an ordinary monk, he is You are a follower of my Buddha, if the lord of the country accepts my gift, he is accepting the gift of my Buddha, that is to let the lord of the country commit a crime."

Yang Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this, this old man is a bit too courageous, what kind of eminent monk are you, if you get caught by the abbot even if you pick up a girl, if you are still blowing nonsense here, he can say it out loud.Hmm... This little nun is really good-looking, this kid Bisu has some discernment. Li Yu thought about Bi Su's words carefully, but he felt that Qu Ran had comprehended him. He became more interested in this little monk who didn't abide by the rules and fear the imperial power, so he asked again: "The little master is not polite to the Buddha, what he said is big?" It makes sense, with this insight, one must have become an eminent monk with a firm Buddha heart, but I don't know what the little master is doing here?"

Bi Su's eyes rolled, and he said speciously: "What is the king doing here, and what is the little monk doing here?" Li Yu said with a smile: "Gu came to the temple today to worship the Buddha." Bi Su said: "The little monk is here to pay homage to the Buddha." "Could it be that the little master worshiped the Huanxi Buddha?" Li Yu glanced at the little nun, and almost blurted out this sentence. , the Buddha is in the Daxiong Palace, where is the Buddha worshiped by the little master?" The more he played, the more he could handle it. He waved his hand and said, "This grass, every tree, the eaves and roof tiles of the halls, you, me, and her all have Buddha nature, and they are my Buddha."

The more Yelvwen listened to the more absurd, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "Little monk, you have violated the precept of lust by flirting with a little nun here, and you want to brag about it. False monks, eating meat and drinking alcohol, must have committed all kinds of crimes, and they still have to brag about themselves here." Bi Su rolled his eyes and said: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart stays in the heart. Keeping the precepts does not necessarily mean having the Buddha's heart, and having a Buddha's heart does not necessarily mean keeping the precepts. My Buddha is merciful, and there is also the anger of thunder. You know that I am a Buddha. A prince who is good at marrying a wife and having children, eating meat and drinking alcohol?"

Bao Jing shouted: "Virtue, so bold, you can say such lawless words, that was before the Buddha became a Buddha, after the Buddha enlightened under the bodhi tree..." Li Yu thoughtfully said: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha will keep it in his heart, good! It is good to say that the Buddhist abstinence from alcohol and meat is the rule established by Emperor Wu of Liang. Back then, the Buddha begged for alms, and he ate whatever he gave , It is true that you do not abstain from drinking and meat. The little master has Buddha-nature and wisdom roots, and can say the verse "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and stay in the Buddha's heart." He is a great sage."

When Baojing heard what the lord said, he had no choice but to respond respectfully: "The lord's Buddhism is profound, and he has unique insights, which I can't match." When Bi Su saw the Lord say something, Bao Jing had to listen to it, and thought in his heart: "My master is the number one master in the Tang Dynasty, and all monks must listen to him, 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 obey if he wants to." Thinking of this, he had the heart to make friends with Li Yu, and said: "Since the lord of the country came here to worship the Buddha and met the little monk, why didn't he worship?" Baojing was frightened and was about to reprimand him, but Li Yu saluted him respectfully and said, "What the little master taught is that believer Li Yu, salute here." Bisu accepted his salute sternly, but did not return the salute. Li Yu felt even more unpredictable when he saw it. He only felt that this little monk was full of wit and sharpness in his conversation. In him, he is even more sincere and fearful. The two had another conversation, and they also asked about the private affairs between Bi Su and the little nun. Bi Su was afraid, so he improvised, and the words were cloudy and unconstrained, and he really didn't know what he meant. Talking nonsense, but Li Yu is a person who is deeply versed in Buddhism. Any nonsense that deviates from the scriptures and does not know the so-called nonsense can be deduced into a Buddhist theory in the ears of a person like him. The two of them answered for a long time, but Li Yu still couldn't finish it, but it was time to leave, so he asked Abbot Baojing for a pen and paper, wrote a few lines of big characters on the whitewashed wall in the temple, and threw the pen after writing, Said: "Today I had a conversation with the little master, and I benefited a lot. This word is a gift for Gu 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." Seeing the meaning of the inscription, Yang Hao felt a little gimmicky.Bi Su scratched his bald head, and murmured: "The things written by the king are worth a lot of money, but unfortunately... the king wrote on this wall, so the monk has to tear down the wall so that he can sell it. ?” Li Yu laughed out loud when he heard this, and felt that the words and sentences of this monk had a lot of mystery. He really shouldn't be treated as an ordinary monk, but more like he had picked up a treasure, and respected Bisu like a god. Respectfully sent Li Yu away, Bao Jing returned to the side hall, looked at the inscription on the wall and worried, the first master heard that the king had inscribed in the temple, and happily led a group of monks to build a pavilion on the wall, Put a cover under it to protect the imperial brush properly. Seeing Master Baojing facing the wall and looking lucky, his bulging eyes look like a golden cicada, he couldn't help saying in amazement: "Abbot, the Lord of the country is the abbot's high disciple in our temple. The inscription of virtue is a blessing in my temple, why does the abbot have such an expression?" Bao Jing pointed at the wall, and said with a sad face: "Junior brother, come and take a closer look, and see what is on the theme of the country?" The first master looked at the wall, only to see three lines of dragons, flying phoenixes and dancers on the wall, which wrote: "Pour lightly and sing softly, master Hong Yicui, the master of Yuanyang temple, the abbot of the romantic teaching method." Yi, turned his head and was about to ask about Baojing, when Wei Er suddenly woke up, he couldn't help saying "ah", and said in a panic: "This... what should I do?" Li Yu's words clearly mean that Fengbisu has become a master of picking up girls. He wants to marry a wife and have children, pick up chicks, and chase after nuns. OK.Although Li Yu has gone to the title of emperor now, he is still the emperor of Jiangnan. In particular, there are words from the temple master and presiding officer in this inscription, so how can we turn a blind eye, but if we want to obey, it is possible to hand over the abbot to the flower monk Bisu?If Bisu becomes the abbot, where will Jiming Temple go?Bao Jing and the first senior brother looked at each other, both felt incredible, and couldn't imagine what the Jiming Temple would be like at that time. At this time, Bisu came out with a sly look, stood next to them, and sang "Fat Ye" with a smile. Jishou saluted and said: "Master, the first master is invited. Jiming Temple is the first Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty. There are three monks in the temple." Qian, how can disciple He De be the abbot of this monastery? Since the lord of the country asked his disciples to be abbots of Fengliu teachings, then the promotion of Buddhism and the abbot of the temple still depend on the abbot of the master, the abbot of the disciple..." He patted his golden bald head, and thought with a smile on his face: "Pour lightly and sing softly, Master Hong Yicui, the master of Yuanyang temple, the abbot teaches the law. Wahahahaha..., the little monk is ordered to pick up girls, Baoyue you This old Diao Ni, dare to resist the order?"
Li Yu drove, and the brigade slowly returned to the palace. All the people on the road were stopped 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 clear eyes followed closely, followed them. for a long time. His eyes were only wandering around the Khitan envoys, searching for a while, but he couldn't see the person he was looking for, and his eyebrows, which were a little thinner for a man, couldn't help but slightly frowned: "He obviously came to the south of the Yangtze River, and I heard that he is Yelu How can the celebrity around Wen not bring him out when he travels? Could it be...he is qualified to accompany Ye Luwen and serve Li Yu?" He quickened his pace and rushed forward. While following the team, he searched in the guard of honor. After searching twice, he still couldn't see the target. Looking forward, it was Li Yu's chariot and Yelvwen who were one step away. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a white horse riding beside him, his body stiffened for a moment, the man smiled and nodded to the people on both sides, and walked slowly. The yellow-faced man rubbed his eyes, and hurried a few steps, almost knocking over a peddler's pick. He hurried to the end of the bridge, and then there was the imperial street, where the soldiers were strictly forbidden to pass. The man on the white horse looked at him, and his bright eyes couldn't help but widen. After a long while, he whispered softly as if dreaming: "Second Brother! It's actually Second Brother..." I saw Li Yu supporting the chariot in the middle, and a step away, on the left and right is a tall and handsome horse, on the right is the Khitan envoy Yeluwen, and on the left... Although his clothes and temperament are completely different from the past, his appearance But the facial features didn't change, he couldn't make a mistake, definitely couldn't make a mistake, that was really her second brother... He, it's her, Ding Yuluo. She disguised herself as a man and entered the northern kingdom alone. She traveled thousands of miles to find Ding Chengye's whereabouts. She ate and slept all the way. After suffering a lot, she finally found out that Ding Chengye was now under the command of Yelvwen, the commander of the tribal army in Shangjing. She sneaked to Shangjing and followed Yelvwen in and out. , I also saw Ding Chengye accompanying Yelvwen, but Yelvwen had more than a hundred followers when he came in and out, and the guard was very strict, and she never found a chance to get close. She didn't know that Yelvwen was so cautious because he was wary of the emperor and Empress Xiao, she thought he had been like this all along, and was worried about not being able to get close to Ding Chengye, but suddenly heard the news that Yelvwen was going to the Song Dynasty, so she followed him all the way down.Here, his vigilance is no more strict than when he was in Shangjing, but it is strange that Ding Chengye, who has always been by Yelvwen's side, has seldom followed him in and out since he arrived in Tang.Ding Yuluo didn't know the reason until now, it turned out that Yang Hao was here. Looking at Yang Hao, Ding Yuluo's eyes burst into tears. She was originally a carefree young lady, but suddenly, her father died tragically, her elder brother was disabled, and her younger brother, who was lazy and idle but still loved by her, turned into a young lady. She became the enemy who killed her father, but her half-brother, who had a deep relationship with her, became a stranger with her because of various grievances and entanglements among the family members. How much pressure and torture can she bear, going back and forth thousands of miles, from Bazhou to Shangjing, from Shangjing to Jinling, traveling between the Three Kingdoms, she has already been physically and mentally exhausted. When the blizzard fell, when Cheng Shixiong, the defender of Guangyuan, was offended, and she couldn't get in, it was Yang Hao who helped her. She had long regarded Yang Hao as an elder brother she could rely on. No face to see him. The eldest brother said that Ding Chengye was the murderer who killed his father. He was not only the root cause of Yang Hao's mother's death indirectly, but also his sworn enemy, and the direct cause of the estrangement between his siblings. Before killing him, she Wuyan went to see her second brother to plead guilty, she could only grit her teeth and watched Yang Hao step by step approaching, and then step by step away from the place a few steps away from her, all the pain and tiredness, she could only shoulder carry. When Li Yu's guard of honor left and the onlookers dispersed, Ding Yuluo stood alone at the head of the bridge, leaning on the stone railing, silently bowing his head, two lines of hot tears streaming down his cheeks, blending into the long river...
When Li Yu returned to the palace, he was about to return to the harem excitedly, and told the queen about the strange thing about meeting a little master of virtue today. A palace man hurried up and said, "The lord, the school secretary, Wang Huan, please see me." Xiaoshulang is an official who is in charge of revising classics and correcting errors. It is not an important position. However, Li Yu likes to collect ancient and rare books, and he attaches great importance to borrowing articles. So when Wang Huan asked to see, he thought he had discovered something rare. Seeing the lonely book Qizhen, he hurriedly stopped and said: "Call him in." When Wang Huan entered the palace, when he saw Li Yu, he said angrily: "I heard that the Lord of the Kingdom went to Jiming Temple to pay homage to the Buddha today, and donated ten thousand gold?" As soon as Li Yu heard it, he knew that he was here to remonstrate, his face sank suddenly, and he said displeasedly: "That's right, so what?" Wang Huan said again: "The minister also heard that the lord of the country saw a monk who did not abide by the rules and regulations, not only did he not punish him, but talked and laughed with him, and even wrote an inscription as a gift?" Li Yu smiled angrily: "I can't hide anything inside and outside the palace alone. There are some big and small things in the palace, and they can be spread out in a short time. If there is any move outside, someone will immediately spread it to the palace. , Xiaoshulang, didn’t you sort out the collection of books and copy the lonely copies in the library, did you come here on purpose just to ask Gu to prove these things? Gu Xi Buddhism, what’s the matter with you?” After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and waited to leave. When Wang Huan saw that he didn't care about being rude, he took a step forward and grabbed his sleeves and said: "The lord walks slowly. Ordinary people are sycophants. Naturally, they have nothing to do with the ministers. The Jiangnan Sheji hangs in the hands of the lord." , the world is full of hope for governance, just like looking at the clouds in a severe drought. But the ruler of the country refuses to accept his loyal words and neglects political affairs; years of famines, starving people flow on the roads; powerful enemies face each other across the river, staring at each other, this is the day when the ruler of the country is reckless and tastes courage. It’s a time of peace and comfort. The ruler of the country is more generous to the monks than to the people. May I ask if the people who offer the fat of the people to the royal family are the monks or the people?” Li Yu knew that he was a nerd and was loyal to himself. Although he didn't like to listen to his words, he couldn't be too cold about his loyal minister's heart, so he had to comfort him with words: "Qing is a man who dares to die, and the state-owned minister is like this. Blessings to the community. However, Gu believes in Buddhism and Taoism, which is to educate all people to be good. Gu often goes out of the palace, and has never seen the famine flooding the roads. You are not too naive. I am happy with your temperament. Simple, it’s not your fault.” Said to turn back and leave again, Wang Huan rushed to stop him, and said sadly: "My lord, in the past, Emperor Wu of Liang served Buddha, wrote Buddhist books with blood, sacrificed himself as a slave of Buddha, bowed his knees as a monk, and distributed it to the monk. , and finally, starved to death in Taicheng. The current king is arrogant and extravagant, and he likes to show off. He doesn't care about political affairs, is obsessed with Buddhist affairs, and doesn't listen to honest advice. The minister fears that the king's fate in the future will not be as good as Emperor Wu of Liang." When Li Yu heard that Wang Huan compared him to that stupid emperor of Liang Wudi, he couldn't help being furious. He sneered and said, "When did I prick my blood and write Buddhist books, and sacrifice myself as a Buddhist slave? I practice benevolence, govern by doing nothing, and never do anything indiscriminately." Severe torture, how could it end up like Emperor Wu of Liang, or even worse, with such nonsense, are you trying to imitate Pan You and Li Ping?" Pan You was a scholar of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ping was a doctor of the Tang Dynasty. They once wrote a letter to remonstrate, and their words were roughly the same as what Wang Huan said today. Li Yu was furious and put Pan You and Li Ping in prison. Angry and hanged himself. Wang Huan raised his chest and said, "I came here today to imitate Pan You and Li Ping. If the lord wants to kill Wang Huan, Wang Huan is willing to accompany Pan You, Li Ping and other loyal people in Huangquan!" Li Yu sneered, and said bluntly: "False words are intimidating, and you are trying to catch your reputation!" Wang Huan was so angry that his face turned bloody after listening to such cruel words. He was originally a poor scholar who didn't do any sports. When Li Yu was provoked, he was so angry that he was dizzy, his hands and feet were cold, and the stars in front of his eyes were chaotic. Fever, almost fainted. When Li Yu saw it, he ordered to the left and right: "Come on, help him down." After saying that, he rushed away angrily. Li Yu was spoiled by Pan You's words. Walking into the hall, Li Yu immediately pricked up his ears when he heard two people whispering behind the screen...
