Chapter 396: Understand the mind and see the nature

In Qinghe Garden, in the unique courtyard, there are oil lamps like beans, a few cold dishes on the table, and wine.

Qin Lei held his hands in front of his chest, his face was gloomy and calm, and his breathing was still heavier than usual.

Le Buyi was still wearing white clothes. He put the blue porcelain bottle into a large bowl, which was filled with steaming white water. He whispered: "Cold wine enters the sorrowful intestines, and the intestines are even colder. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink cold wine at this time."

Qin Lei curled his lips and did not express his objection. There was chaos in his mind, countless speculations and countless possibilities all flowed out, making him unable to verify or think, and even his eyes lost their luster.

Seeing his appearance, Le Buyi couldn't help but smile and said, "I thought the prince was here to comfort me, but now it seems that he was here to seek comfort."

Qin Lei shook his head and massaged his injured left hand vigorously. After a while, he asked quietly: "Why did you come to me?"

Le Buyi laughed and said, "Just make a living. In this world, it's not easy to make money by placing a word and fortune-telling."

Qin Lei did not listen to his nonsense and frowned and asked, "Did the Empress Dowager invite you to come?"

Seeing that his behavior of advancing and retreating was completely different from usual, and it was clearly caused by chaos, Le Buyi shook his head and said, "No, it was me who recommended myself and asked the Empress Dowager to come." Looking at Qin Lei, he whispered, "Because my identity is a bit special, if I don't say hello first, it will cause you trouble."

Qin Lei nodded and said, "I'm in big trouble now, I'm in big trouble..."

Le Buyi couldn't help but say strangely: "What happened? Did Wen Yanbo tell you what he said?"

Although the two of them are both teachers and friends, how could Qin Lei show a hint of verbal voice before he figured out the true face of the matter? After a while of silence, he shook his head and said, "It's better not to say..."

Le Buyi smiled and said, "The prince is less than 20 years old, how can he sigh like an old man?" As he said that, he poured wine for Qin Lei first, then poured himself. The two of them drank three drinks at once.

After drinking three cups of warm wine, Qin Lei felt a little warm in his belly and said astonished: "This wine is so exciting, wine is a good thing..."

Le Buyi twisted anise bean and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and his face scented: "Yes, if there is no wine, how can a man live?"

Qin Lei laughed and said, "This is reasonable." As he said that, he drank a cup of Le Buyi, and his eyes were slightly red, looking at Le Buyi: "Aren't you claiming to be heartless? Why are you also confused today?"

Le Buyi said laughing and cryingly: "Why am I heartless again?" While refueling Qin Lei, he whispered: "Just like the prince doesn't want to tell others about his troubles today, and I don't want to tell you."

Qin Lei giggled and said, "Since you don't want to talk, then drink, drink." Le Buyi refused and went to him, drinking with him for a lot of time. Until the table was filled with wine pots, both of them turned red and then stopped to rest for a while.

Qin Lei leaned comfortably on the bedding, shook his head and said, "Did you go to see Wen Yanbo?"

Le Buyi almost said that he was bald and said embarrassedly for a long time: "No, I'm not familiar with him, why are you going to see him?"

Qin Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a long time before scratching his eyebrows and said, "It's good that you're not familiar with him. It's not a pity if you can't see him in the future."

Le Buyi paused slightly and said, "What's wrong with him?"

"Dead." Qin Lei said expressionlessly: "I killed him."

Le Buyi was stunned and murmured, "How could that happen?" After saying that, he sighed, "He is the prime minister of a country, and he killed him quietly... It is not good for your reputation."

"To the outside world, just say that he committed suicide for fear of crime." Qin Lei whispered: "This person must die because he is too a bastard."

Le Buyi was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "It's good to die, it's clean and neat." He also leaned against the other end of the kang, holding a wine bottle in his hand and said, "It seems that it's the trouble Wen Yanbo brought to you."

Qin Lei shrugged without saying anything, which was considered to be accustomed to what he said.

Le Buyi smiled and said, "No matter what others say to you, prince, you must believe in your own judgment." As he said that, he took out half of the black jade from his arms, rubbed it gently, and said, "I believed in others' words back then, and did not believe in my own judgment. Twenty years later, I finally woke up...but it was too late."

Qin Lei murmured: "Hones' judgment?"

Le Buyi played with the jade in his hand and nodded, "You have heard of the story of blind people touching elephants?"

Qin Lei grinned: "There are four blind men who have never seen an elephant before, so he went to touch it. One said that the elephant looked like a palm fan; the other said that the elephant looked like a pillar; the other said that the elephant looked like a wall; the other said that it was a rope."

Le Buyi smiled and said, "Yes, although there is only one truth in the matter, people have different positions and incomplete understanding of information, so they can only see one aspect."

Qin Lei also picked up a wine pot from the table, raised his head and wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, except for those who have really experienced the incident, most of the rest are heard of it and even spread rumors, which is not very credible."

Le Buyi nodded and said, "People have the ability to associate. When they see their white and tender arms, they will think of beauty without clothes. This is still well-founded; and when they are not adjusted, they will think of women's breasts when they see steamed buns, and then they will think of them..."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Will an old virgin who has been forty years still have a fantasy?"

Le Buyi said bitterly when he heard this, "Prince, I am comforting you, you can't bully good people."

Qin Lei smiled and apologized for a few words, then said seriously: "I understand what you said. It is possible for people to generalize or even talk nonsense for some of their own purposes. So they cannot believe everything else said..."

Le Buyi nodded, put down the wine bottle, and smiled and said, "It's not only what others say, but also what you hear with your own ears and see with your own eyes." As he said, he said sadly, "Sometimes, you will be deceived by what you see and hear."

Qin Lei grabbed the increasingly dense beard on his chin and said, "Then what else can I believe?"

Le Buyi raised his eyelids, his eyes were filled with divine light, and there was no sign of excessive drinking. He stretched out his hand, pointed to his chest, and said word by word: "Our heart, in this world, only your heart will not lie to you."

As he said that, he put the jade in his arms, continued to warm it up with the heat in his heart, and whispered: "But there is a prerequisite: you must keep your heart clear and not be deceived by jealousy, hatred, lust, greed, fear, ignorance, and impulse. Only in this way can you completely believe in your heart."

Qin Lei scratched his head and realized something: "That is to say, I want to overcome jealousy, hatred, lust, greed, fear, ignorance and impulse?"

Le Buyi nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, jealousy makes people narrow; hatred makes people crazy; lust makes people lose their ambitions; greed makes people degenerate; fear makes people timid; ignorance makes people superficial; impulse makes people reckless. These are all the fatal pits of a king."

Qin Lei nodded slightly and said, "If I do it, can I rely on the judgment I made in my heart?"

Le Buyi laughed and said, "That's natural. The judgments made by a person are worthy of everyone's trust when he is not constrained, not crazy, not declining, not timid, not superficial, and not reckless."

Qin Lei finally focused his attention and said in a deep voice: "The key is to cultivate the mind. Don't let those negative emotions affect your judgment."

Le Buyi laughed and said, "It's good if the prince understands it." As he said that, he took out a brush from his sleeve, stood up swayingly, and lifted a few lines of words on the white wall and said:

‘The body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror; wipe it frequently and do not cause dust to spread.’

After writing, he threw a pen and said, "We ordinary people cannot reach the higher level of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. If you can learn the methods of Zen Master Shenxiu, you can do three times a day, which is a great thing."

After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle, and took a sip and said, "Prince, do you think this is the reason?" The answer to him was Qin Leifu's rhythmic snoring.

Le Buyi looked outside and found that the prince had fallen asleep while writing. Seeing him holding the wine pot and looking drunk, Le Buyi couldn't help but smile and sighed, "It's good to be young, no matter how much trouble you have, you can fall asleep." He said with a little ridicule, "It's not like me, I'm destined to suffer from insomnia."

He gently took away the wine pot in his arms, covered him with a quilt, and blew out the light, but he started drinking it with the snoring.

The jade rabbit sinks westward and the golden crow rises eastward. A new day comes again. The birds chirp and jump up, preparing to find some early bugs to satisfy their hunger.

Listening to the yelling of the bird outside the window, Qin Lei stretched his waist and woke up. His soft eyes tilted his head and saw Le Buyi sleeping soundly at his desk. He didn't say anything, gently lifted the quilt and tiptoed out the door.

The spring breeze outside the door warmed up, and the sun was still bright. Qin Lei was walking out while stretching. Who would have thought that as soon as he took a step, he would trip up by something. He didn't expect that something was blocking the way at the gate; secondly, he just woke up from the hangover and his hands and feet were not very smart. He immediately heard a sound, and he tripped by the thing and lay on his back on the ground.

Qin Lei was so confused that he covered his waist and cursed: "What's the matter that tripped me?"

Seeing that he had caused trouble, the thing hurried over and helped Qin Lei sit up, saying with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's me, I'm not a thing."

Qin Lei saw that it was Shen Bing. Seeing that he was covered in water, he looked exhausted, and was exhausted. He gave him a trembling tremble and cursed with a smile: "What are you doing when you run to someone else's door early in the morning?"

While helping Qin Lei stand up, Shen Bing whispered: "Sir, come and take the crime."

Qin Lei said 'oh', patted his watery shoulder and said warmly: "Next time, remember not to waste your body like this. You will have a problem when you get older."

Shen Bing's eyes were red and he choked and said, "I understand." Qin Lei smiled slightly and said, "Then go and change into plain clothes, and then go to the study to wait for me." Shen Bing bit his lips and nodded, and said softly, "I understand." After that, he bowed and retreated, and Qin Lei also staggered back to the backyard.

As soon as he left the gate of Le Buyi's courtyard, Shi Gan came up. Qin Lei glared at him fiercely and cursed with a smile: "You dog, did you think I was going to kill Shen Bing last night?"

Shi Gan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I misunderstood. Please forgive me."

Qin Lei Fei kicked him with a leg and said angrily: "Am I that cruel?"

Shi Gan quickly shook his head and changed the topic with a small look on his face, "Mr. Hou is here."

Speaking of serious matters, Qin Lei's expression became serious, nodded and said, "Let him go to the study and wait for me." He asked softly, "Have Qin Shouzhuo started to act?"

Shi Gan nodded and said, "The list has been given to Lord Qin, and our people have also been sent to the Kyoto Government Office. There should be no problem."

Qin Lei nodded and asked again: "Where are Shen Qing and Shi Yong's side, have they been freed?"

Shi Gan's face tightened when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I'm still confronting the Tiance Army in the suburbs of Beijing. The two armies of Yingyang and the Polu Army are moving here, and the situation is quite dangerous."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Where is General Huangfu now?"

"Based on the distance, we should be half a day away." Shi Gan said softly.

Qin Lei smiled confidently and said, "No problem, we will go out of the city to meet Shen Qing and the others later." After that, he strode to the backyard.

Shi Gan quickly followed and added in a low voice: "It is said that Li Erhe was killed by bombing last night."

Qin Lei said "Oh" and didn't say anything. He didn't care whether Mr. Li was dead or alive. But this time, the little fat man's brother finally died in his own hands... The harmonious relationship between the two of them had been deceiving themselves should be no longer possible.

A little disappointed sighed, he put his hands into his sleeves and slowly returned to his residence. He happened to meet Yun Shang who was carrying medicine upstairs. When Yun Shang saw him, he immediately remembered the shameful scene yesterday. His face suddenly turned red, and he called "Prince" like a mosquito, but he did not escape like a flying one.

Qin Lei smiled and said softly: "The clothes... are quite fit..."

Yun Shang's face turned redder. He looked at him hard and glanced at him, whispered: "It's necrotic."

Qin Lei scratched his head and turned to the topic: "Have Shi Yun woke up?"

Yun Shang nodded first, then shook his head and said, "I woke up first, but I fell asleep again."

Qin Lei smiled strangely and said, "Why is this?"

"Wounds are hurting when you wake up, so it's better to sleep, and your body will recover quickly when you fall asleep." Yun Shang explained in a low voice.

Qin Lei pointed to the jar in Yun Shang's hand and smiled, "Who is this for?"

Yun Shang looked at him angrily and said softly: "Drink it to a bad person who is obviously seriously injured but runs around and drinks all night."

Qin Lei chuckled embarrassedly and said, "Is that so irresistible, so he should be criticized seriously."

It would be fine if you didn't say this, but it immediately made the girl cry and held the can and sobbed: "How can you, you, so unrespect yourself? Don't you know that people will feel distressed?"

Qin Lei quickly reimbursed and bowed, and held the medicine jar with both hands, regardless of whether it was hot or not. He drank two sips and said, "If you don't do it, you will be a puppy if you don't change it."

Yun Shang stretched out his little white jade-like fingers, looked at Qin Lei with tears in his eyes, making him look furrowed all over, and muttered in a low voice: "Are you despising me?"

Yun Shang said laughing and crying: "I asked you to hook..."

Qin Lei suddenly realized, and quickly stretched out his finger and hung it on Yun Shang for a hundred years without regretting it. Finally, he stamped a seal. The girl burst into tears and said, "Next time, I will ignore you for three days..."

Qin Lei quickly beg for mercy and said, "Grandma, please spare me, if you ignore me for a while, I can't stand it." Yun Shang smiled and said in a sweet voice: "There are the same..."
