Yao Xing frowned: "What request? I'll just let him out. What else are you asking for? Is this because the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten?"
Jia Fu sighed: "I think this request is not too strict, but I know that Your Majesty never likes to be coerced, so I don't know how to speak."
Yao Xing said in a deep voice: "You just need to tell the truth and make sure it is his original words. Don't add or delete anything. I will pardon your innocence."
Jia Fu nodded and said: "The national master said that these disciples of his are all young people with strong blood. Once they break the precepts and taste the love between men and women, it may be impossible to stick to the Zen heart in the future. A person who thinks about flowers all day long
It was impossible for the monk under the previous month to complete the tedious work of translating scriptures with peace of mind. Even if he broke the precepts and spent several years afterwards thinking about women, and finally forced himself to forget, it was difficult for him to do it.
, others are afraid it will be even more difficult."
Yao Xing's eyes widened and he was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "I was angry for a moment and only thought about attacking the reputation of the Imperial Master and the monks of Caotang Temple. I forgot about this matter. However, this
Things are indeed troublesome. How can a person experience the love between a man and a woman and then want him to give up? It is indeed too difficult, unless..."
He said and looked at Jia Fu. Jia Fu smiled bitterly and said: "I have also thought of this trick, but the national master said that Buddhist disciples who become monks and practice are the envoys of the Buddha in the world. They must not be disabled, otherwise
, it is disrespectful to the Buddha, so the Buddhist scriptures do not allow people to commit suicide, and the translators of the Buddhist scriptures are not allowed to be disabled, like eunuchs translating the scriptures. That is a great disrespect to the Buddha, and there will definitely be disaster."
Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "It's nonsense, it's just an excuse. In the past, I didn't believe that all the monks in Tianzhu, especially those who practiced asceticism, were healthy and without any disabilities."
Jia Fu sighed: "But even if he knew that he was making excuses to forcibly castrate people, I'm afraid it is against human ethics. This old slave has been taken as a prisoner of war since he was a child. He suffered that knife when he was young. Later,
Your Majesty bought the old slave into the palace and gave him a mouthful of food. He was only grateful. However, if the monks of Caotang Temple forcibly purified themselves, I am afraid they would hate Your Majesty to death, and even deliberately destroy the scriptures.
Take revenge."
Yao Xing nodded, frowning deeply: "Yes, even a monk is still a man. With this sword strike, he is no longer a man. He must have deep hatred and hatred. In the past, most of the palace people were aristocratic children of enemy tribes and high-level prisoners of war.
If I perform this purification to prevent my descendants from taking revenge, if I apply it to monks, everyone will say that I am a tyrant. Jiafu, you are right, this cannot be done. Is there any other way?"
Jiafu nodded: "Kumaroshi himself said that he has a way to perform some magical spells to make his disciples feel at ease and to impress the people. However, this requires a public ceremony. If your Majesty can agree,
Let him go up to the altar and practice Dharma in front of the Mahavira Hall in Caotang Temple, and he will be able to make his disciples feel at ease."
Yao Xing smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better if I built a high platform for him directly in Chang'an City so that he can have a larger place to preach the Dharma? This time it was my lack of consideration and I should compensate him more."
Jia Fu showed a mysterious smile and whispered: "Your Majesty, you just can't perform this magic in an open place. You also know that this kind of trick is just a trick to deceive people. If it is really in broad daylight and in full view of everyone, it will only
I'm afraid that someone will break him. After all, the Imperial Master is over sixty years old and his physical strength has declined. If some movements are slow, something will happen. Even his disciples will not believe him, and that will be troublesome.
.”
Yao Xing laughed and said, "You know better, so I'll let you make the arrangements. When the time comes, I will lead all the civil and military officials in the court to support him. It is best to let him borrow the words of Buddha and Bodhisattva at this time."
, say what I want him to say, and you teach him how to say it, do you understand?"
Jia Fu smiled and said: "The old slave will definitely let him say it himself when the time comes. Returning the twelve counties of Nanyang to the State of Jin is a good deed that complies with the destiny and benefits the common people. The people of the twelve counties of Nanyang, as well as the soldiers of the two countries
, will receive the protection and blessings of Buddha. And the national destiny of Da Qin will also prosper because of this."
Yao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, these are what I want him to say. Only if he says this in public can the generals under me be convinced and confident to fight against Hu Xia without any worries.
Especially Yao Shao, huh, I know that even though he doesn't say anything against it, he has come up with so many vicious tricks to smear Kumarajiva. He just wishes that these twelve counties of Nanyang would not be sent to Jin, so that he can hold them for a long time.
With heavy troops, we will stay in the Central Plains and continue to be the emperor of the country."
Jia Fu said respectfully: "Your Majesty has great foresight, and I admire you very much. I will do this now. I also ask your Majesty to visit Caotang Temple in person in two days. The Imperial Master will definitely lead all the monks in the temple to welcome the Holy Spirit."
Oh, by the way, your majesty will also be asked to bring Tao Yuanming, the Jin envoy, when the time comes. In this way, major matters will be finalized on the spot, and there will be no need to hold another court meeting."
Yao Xing said coldly: "You talk too much, Jia Fu, I didn't think you had such a good eloquence before. What's wrong?"
Jia Fu knelt down quickly: "This old slave made a mistake and deserves a slap!" He said, and slapped himself hard on the face. A bright red five-finger palm print suddenly appeared on the left side of his white face.
Yao Xing waved his hand: "Okay, okay, hurry up and get things done. By the way, remember to get some of that magic oil for me. I said, I'll give you grapes in exchange, and I'll leave this matter to you."
Two days later, inside the Caotang Temple, in the main courtyard and in front of the Main Hall.
In front of the main hall, which is a few hundred steps in radius, there is a huge square. Normally, countless incense burners, candlesticks, and merit boxes are piled up to facilitate the faithful men and women to burn incense to eliminate their karma, or to donate coins. But now, these things
They were all cleaned up, and a huge tent, like the tent of a desert khan, covered the entire square, hiding from the light of day.
The four sides of the big tent were replaced with oil lamp posts, filled with butter, accompanied by the smell of sandalwood and clear smoke, making the whole tent feel like a fairyland, with floating clouds and mist. Yao Xing was dressed in a dragon robe, with
Tao Yuanming, who was in charge of the civil and military officials of the court and the envoy, sat on the VIP platform directly opposite the high platform, while three thousand ascetics, all wearing monk robes, sat around and looked at a three-foot high platform in the center.
, Kumarajiva, wearing a red cassock, sitting cross-legged on a futon.
Jia Fu stood aside, with a respectful smile on his face and a whisk in his hand. In the smoke, no one noticed that his lips and teeth were slightly open: "Monk, please start your performance."
