Chapter 143: Pei Ji, come to be the judge of the Fa conference
Da da da……
A crisp sound of horse hooves trampled through the streets of Chang'an. Lawyer Pei, who was riding the horse, had a proud expression on his face. He didn't even look impatient when he encountered a horse jam.
Once upon a time, Lawyer Pei never thought that he would be so happy when he went home!
If it had been a few months ago, even if he didn't go to Pingkangfang to meet the young lady for a drink with his colleagues after he was on duty, he would still procrastinate and look for this or that thing. In short, he just didn't want to go home.
Because the wife of the family, Princess Linhai, is really terrible...
It was obviously his Aye, Pei Ji, who complained to his father-in-law that Princess Linhai could not give birth to a child, but it was not him who complained. In the end, nothing happened to Aye, and retribution fell on him instead. Princess Linhai actually gave him a
A daily task.
Three times a day, if it’s not enough, you have to make up for it the next day...
Outsiders all envy him for being a princess, but who knows how painful it is for him, Lawyer Pei! Have you ever heard of someone saying you owe your wife when you pay her the public allowance?
Lawyer Pei is almost exhausted and owes his wife dozens of times!
When Lawyer Pei thinks about this now, he will shed tears of sympathy for himself at that time.
Perhaps Taishang Laojun couldn't bear to see his miserable life, so he sent the clever little Taoist priest Qingwei.
As a result, the fortune teller Qingwei could tell at a glance that the reason why he and Princess Linhai could not have a child was not because they did not do so often, but because the evil spirit in Aye Pei Ji was too strong.
Lawyer Pei deeply agrees with this...
I have really done it a lot, three times a day, I have worked very hard!
So everything is Aye's fault!
Under the guidance of Taoist Priest Qingwei, Lawyer Pei and Princess Linhai now began to seriously build bridges and roads, accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Lawyer Pei didn't know whether these good deeds brought other benefits, but he finally had the first time in his gloomy life.
I saw the sun once.
After knowing that it was not her fault that she could not give birth to a child, but her husband Aye's fault, the pressure on Princess Linhai was finally released. Her temper, which had been caused by excessive pressure, improved and she became a normal person again.
That eldest princess who is as gentle as water.
The most important thing is that three tasks a day have been cancelled!
In an instant, Lawyer Pei felt that the whole world had become brighter. He finally felt the warmth of home, which was rare. He used to be afraid of the journey home every day, but now he felt like he was returning home.
It can be said that these few months have been like living in paradise for Lawyer Pei.
After returning to his home, Lawyer Pei planned to go to the door of Aye's courtyard to say hello as usual, and then went back to his own courtyard to find Princess Linhai Wen Cun.
Recently, Princess Linhai got some rouge from someone unknown. The color was so tender and tender that it made him very excited just looking at it.
As a result, as soon as I walked into the living room, I heard Aye Pei Ji's voice coming from inside.
Lawyer Pei was a little puzzled.
Aye actually went home today?
Shouldn't he have followed his father-in-law to the inner garden after the court to judge those scantily clad beauties and twerk... and enjoy singing and dancing?
Just as Lawyer Pei walked to the door of the living room, he heard Pei Ji's voice coming from the hall.
"Oh, the dharma that arises from all conditions has no self-nature. I understand. It turns out that there is such a reason between dependent origination and emptiness of nature..."
Then, Lawyer Pei heard a girl's voice.
"The so-called dependent origination is the emptiness of nature, and the emptiness of nature is dependent origination. Everything in the universe is the law produced by the combination of causes and conditions. It has no self-nature. It is the emptiness of meaning and principle, not the emptiness of annihilation."
"Huh?"
Lawyer Pei was a little confused. Isn't this talking about Zen? Why did a woman's voice appear? Could it be that Aye has been following today's saints for a long time, so he has changed his hobby of talking to monks about Zen to nuns?
It won’t sound good if this matter spreads!
"Ahem..."
Lawyer Pei stood in front of the living room door and coughed lightly.
"Lawyer, please say hello to Aye."
Then, Lawyer Pei heard Pei Ji's voice coming from the hall.
"Is it Dalang? Come in..."
After lawyer Pei respectfully agreed, he walked into the hall.
As he glanced around the hall, he discovered that the person present was not the nun he was worried about, but a woman in white.
Pei Ji coughed, tapped the woman in white with his hand, and introduced her to Lawyer Pei.
"Da Lang, this is a member of Xijuan Fang Yuan Hua Gong's clan. According to seniority, I should be considered your sister. I haven't come forward to greet you yet."
Before Lawyer Pei could make any move, the woman in white had already stood up and saluted Lawyer Pei gracefully.
"Pei Xinru, a slave, has long admired the name of his lawyer brother when we were in Hedong. When we meet today, he is indeed a talented person..."
"Where, where..."
Lawyer Pei also quickly bowed in return.
"I didn't know my sister was coming today, I'm sorry!"
After Lawyer Pei and Pei Xinru finished their greetings and sat down again, the conversation in the hall switched to the discussion about Buddhism that Lawyer Pei had heard before entering.
To be honest, although Pei Ji's ability as a prime minister is somewhat poor, and he has no other strengths except turning in when fighting, his understanding of Buddhism is not inferior to that of the vast majority of eminent monks. He is not the kind of person who only knows
Believers who recite Amitabha.
"The so-called self-nature is me. Without self, there is no self-nature. However, all dharmas come from the gathering of causes and conditions... Because of the meaning of emptiness, all dharmas are completed."
Pei Ji twirled his beard with his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
"Seconds, seconds!"
"This is the result of the great monk Ji Zang who used the essence of the Lotus to supplement the three treatises. It can be said to be the first of its kind and has never been understood by anyone before it."
Pei Xinru said with admiration.
"Now the great monk Jizang has founded his own sect, called the Sanlun Sect, and he will soon start arguing with monks from other sects at Yanxing Temple in Chang'an."
"It's a Dharma meeting to argue difficult questions!"
Pei Ji said with a fascinated look on his face.
"Chang'an City has not had any insightful and refreshing Dharma meetings for a long time. I wonder when the Dharma meeting held by the great monk Jizang will be held?"
"Just half a month later."
Pei Xinru looked at Pei Ji's somewhat moved expression and added another layer of anger.
"Everything is ready for the Dharma Conference now, but there is a lack of a weighty judgment. But in this city of Chang'an, in terms of character, prestige, and wonderful understanding of Buddhism, apart from you, Uncle Xuanzhen, the great monk Ji Zang really can't think
Who else can be the judge now?
But after all, the incident happened suddenly, and it would be disrespectful to come to the door rashly, so the great monk Jizang entrusted the slave family to ask Uncle Xuanzhen if you are interested in being the judge, the great monk Jizang will definitely come to the door in person to invite you."
"oh!"
Although Lawyer Pei seemed to understand some of the Buddhist matters, Lawyer Pei understood the last few words very clearly.
It was a monk who wanted to establish his own business, so he planned to hold a literary battle ceremony.
Lawyer Pei has heard of this kind of Dharma gathering before. It is basically a debate among the monks. Moreover, all the other monks who come on stage have a verbal sparring...argument with the monk who plans to set up his own business.
If the monk fails in the debate, then there is no need to mention the matter of establishing his own business. But if the debate is smooth and no one can trouble him, then the matter of the monk establishing his own business becomes a thing.
The younger sister of this family came to visit this time, also at the invitation of the monk, and wanted Aye to be the judge.
Boring things!
Lawyer Pei quietly yawned.
Instead of talking about these useless things, he would rather go back and calculate with Princess Linhai how many good deeds are needed to conceive a child, and take a look at that pink rouge...
Pei Ji glanced at his son and felt angry.
This silly boy has no interest in Buddhism at all. He really wasted the good name I gave him.
In this way, after you die in the future, how can you transcend?
Thinking of this, Pei Ji glared at Lawyer Pei with hatred, but looking at his son who still looked dull, he couldn't help but shake his head.
After all, just like how I promoted him to become the Prince Consort, I should wait until I have achieved Dharma in my next life and can protect myself before continuing to support this silly boy.
Children are debts!
Thinking of this, Pei Ji couldn't help but feel a little moved about the position of judging in this Dharma assembly.
The judgment of this Dharma assembly should be a matter of great merit!
But after Pei Ji thought about it, he felt that he still couldn't agree so easily. After all, his good friend His Majesty Li Yuan had been very unhappy recently because of the incident involving Monk Faya of the Fahua Sect.
Although it seems calm now, in fact it is just my good friend who is gathering anger.
Based on Pei Ji's understanding of his good friend Li Yuan, he probably has no intention of letting go of any of the monks who criticize him behind his back.
And at this critical moment, if I still hang out with these monks.
Pei Ji twirled his beard with his hand and shook his head slightly.
After all, the things in the next life are still far away, but the things in this life are right in front of you. You should still keep a steady hand and not let your good friends have any suspicion about you.
"Actually..."
Pei Xinru looked at the uncertain look on Pei Ji's face and lowered her voice.
"The great monk Jizang knows what uncle Xuanzhen is worried about, so before the slave family came, he specially told the slave family that the Three Treatises Sect needs a lot of support from uncle Xuanzhen and the current saints, and..."
Pei Xinru looked around cautiously, her voice lowered to a level that only Pei Ji could hear.
"When necessary, the great monk Jizang is even willing to stand up and publicly support the current saints, reprimand those monks who want to rebel, and support the saints in expropriating the temple properties of those monks who rebel!"
When he heard this, Pei Ji was really moved.
Pei Ji asked himself that he knew very well about the thoughts of his good gay friend Li Yuan.
It's not that he doesn't want to offend those monks who dare to criticize him behind his back, it's just that the world is uncertain now, and if chaos breaks out in Guanzhong again, it will be detrimental to Li Tang.
As long as the world is in order, this good friend of mine will definitely counterattack!
At this time, if such a monk Ji Zang of the Sanlunzong appears, my good friend should be happy to accept it...right?
