Chapter 231: My will has been decided, Shati Fahuazong
The three incomplete Yaksha Mingwang swords were placed in front of the tables in Chengxiang Hall. The rope originally wrapped around the sword hilt was also untied one by one, revealing the seven words "Miaofa Lotus" and "Shi Huisi".
.
In front of this broken bone sword or dagger, there is also a Buddhist scripture whose paper has turned yellow, and the words "Shi Huisi Gong Lu" and other words are written at the bottom of the opened page.
His Majesty Li Yuan had a gloomy face and carefully compared the hilt of the sword with the three words "Shi Huisi" on the Buddhist scriptures.
Prime Minister Pei Ji stood beside His Majesty Li Yuan with his hands clasped in his hands, his face full of concern, as if he could also feel the mood of His Majesty Li Yuan.
After a long time, His Majesty Li Yuan raised his head and took a long breath.
"I think these two signatures were written by the same person. However, the words on the sword hilt were engraved, so the handwriting is slightly different. Pei Qing, what do you think?"
"The saint is extremely talented and is far superior to me in calligraphy. Since Your Majesty said that there is a slight discrepancy, but it should be the handwriting of one person, that is naturally the case."
Pei Ji cupped his hands in front of His Majesty Li Yuan and said with a sincere expression on his face.
"In fact, I can't see any slight difference between the two signatures. I can see that the two signatures are exactly the same."
"Hahaha……"
His Majesty Li Yuan laughed and pointed at Pei Ji while laughing.
"Pei Qing, you don't have to be too modest. How can I not know your calligraphy skills?"
"Not modesty!"
Pei Ji also laughed.
"Although I have been writing for a few years, how can I compare with the saint? If the saint is not talented, how could he be able to defeat all the young talents and be selected?"
"That's archery, not calligraphy..."
Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Fu Yi standing in the middle of the hall.
"Fu Qing, do you think this is conclusive evidence? You know, Shi Huisi has passed away for a long time, and even his disciple, monk Zhiyi, has been dead for 20 years. This thing may have been lost a long time ago.
Already."
"saint!"
Fu Yi raised his hand respectfully and said to Li Yuan.
"I would like to ask if the sword inscribed by Emperor Jing who was one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Northern Wei Dynasty is still there?"
"certainly!"
Li Yuan answered without hesitation.
"Now it is enshrined in the Ancestral Temple..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped, then smiled and shook his head.
"So that's what you mean, Fu Qing. You're right. This kind of thing cannot simply flow out."
As he spoke, Li Yuan gently touched the words Shi Huisi on the hilt of the broken bone sword with his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer.
"First, Monk Faya led a group of monks to plot rebellion, then he died inexplicably in the prison of Yuancong Guards, and then Monk Yifan of Fahua Sect helped Li Zitong escape and wanted to
He returned to Jiangnan and plotted rebellion again, and now the weapons used by Monk Huisi have fallen into the hands of the Turks who want to assassinate my third wife... Haha!"
His Majesty Li Yuan sneered.
"Fahua Sect, Fahua Sect, and Fahua Sect. I think these bastard monks think it's still Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty... Ah, no, it should be said that it was still when Emperor Wu of Liang was in power. They can't do anything.
Punishment! Fu Qing..."
Fu Yi clasped his hands in a salute and respectfully agreed.
"I'm here!"
"The Lotus Sect is arrogant and rebellious, which deeply disappoints me. The monks should have given priority to tranquility, staying away from dirt, and cutting off greed. However, they have high self-esteem, are insatiable in lust, and are constantly seeking, even going so far as to personally plunder.
Hu Ni, the traffic policeman, has been punished every time he was caught in the Xiangan network, and now he dares to directly assassinate my daughter..."
As he spoke, Li Yuan waved his hand with a stern expression.
"It is my intention to eliminate the Fahua Sect. Only one Fahua Sect temple will remain in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the rest will be abandoned. If the monks in the temple practice diligently and observe the precepts, they can stay in the temple. Those who cannot practice diligently or
If there are any deficiencies in the conduct of the precepts, please stop immediately, and I will leave this matter to you, and the Taishi Bureau will cooperate!"
"yes!"
Fu Yi clasped his hands into fists and said excitedly.
"I obey the decree!"
"besides!"
Li Yuan said with a serious face.
"When Sha defeated the Fahua Sect, he should pay attention to look for the criminals who colluded with the Turks and assassinated Sanniang Zi. I must find these rebellious and traitorous officials and traitors."
"Here!"
Fu Yi clasped his hands and agreed again.
Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing more to add, so he waved his hand.
"Okay, Fu Qing, please go down!"
"yes!"
Fu Yi agreed, clasping his fists with both hands, and stepped back.
"etc!"
Li Yuan pointed to the bone dagger on the table and motioned to the chamberlain next to him to deliver it to Fu Yi.
"Bring this evidence with you."
After Fu Yi exited the Chengxiang Hall, His Majesty Li Yuan shook his head and sat down behind several cases. His original serious expression became cheerful.
Bang bang bang...
After Li Yuan gently clapped his hands a few times, the music in the hall immediately started playing again, and then two teams of young ladies in polite clothes poured out from the corridor of Chengxiang Hall and began to sing and dance in the hall.
"Pei Qing, look..."
Li Yuanxin pointed at one of the slim women and whispered to Pei Ji.
"That little lady has a nice waist!"
"otherwise……"
Regarding Li Yuan's statement, Pei Ji expressed his objection without hesitation.
"Sage, please look at the third one over there, the one wearing a goose-yellow dress..."
As he said that, Pei Ji made some gestures and argued with reason.
"Although both of them have quite large breasts, I can guarantee that the waist of the little lady I mentioned should be at least a pound thinner than the person mentioned by the sage."
"Well……"
After hearing Pei Ji's words, His Majesty Li Yuan immediately narrowed his eyes and compared the two young ladies with his rich experience over the years.
"Pei Qing, I think there is something wrong with what you said... Come on!"
As he said that, His Majesty Li Yuan waved his hands to himself and the two young ladies that Pei Ji was pointing to.
"You...and you, you two, come forward!"
"yes!"
The two young ladies agreed softly, then stopped dancing and walked up gracefully. The remaining dancing ladies continued to dance to the rhythm as if they were used to it.
"Come on, you stand here and she stands there!"
After the two young ladies stood still, His Majesty Li Yuan, in a pragmatic spirit, carefully began to measure the waists of the two young ladies with his hands, while Pei Ji stroked his beard and sat proudly.
On the other hand, he seemed unfazed.
"Unexpectedly..."
After weighing the two young ladies until their flowers trembled, His Majesty Li Yuan finally said to Pei Ji with a sincere expression on his face.
"Pei Qing really knows something from the slightest. How can you be so bright and lightning-like?"
"this……"
Pei Ji smoothed his beard with his hand, leaned over, and whispered to Li Yuan.
"I don't have anything else, but I am familiar with it!"
"Hahaha……"
Then, Li Yuan and Pei Ji looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
After the smile stopped, Pei Ji whispered to Li Yuan again.
"Nowadays, there is war, and the people are in dire straits. The land of Jingzhao is safe because of the saints. The rest of the land, such as Hebei, Jianghuai, and Shu, are in constant war. The people are miserable, and the minister cannot bear it, so he sends people to various places to take in some poor refugees.
woman……"
With that said, Pei Ji rubbed his hands and gave Li Yuan a 'you understand' look.
"I know that the saint loves the common people, so I also asked the saint to teach them some etiquette, and asked the saint to take time to come to my home to observe the people's sentiments."
"oh!"
His Majesty Li Yuan pointed at Pei Ji with a clear face, and then said seriously.
"What Pei Qing said is absolutely true. Now I feel sad when I think about the world's uncertainty. By the way, are those refugee women really pitiful?"
"nature!"
Pei Ji also said seriously.
"Ragged, dilapidated..."
"oops!"
His Majesty Li Yuan beat his chest with his hand, looking sad.
"This is my dereliction of duty. Let's do this. I will go to Pei Qing's house tomorrow to observe the people's situation and learn more about the situation of these refugees."
Pei Ji respectfully clasped his hands and agreed.
"yes!"
"Hahaha……"
The two looked at each other again and laughed loudly at the same time.
When it was almost time to start the watch, Pei Ji, who was a little drunk and smelling good, staggered out of the outer imperial city in his own carriage.
Not long after the carriage left the outer imperial city, the curtain of the carriage was raised, and Pei Ji poked his head out and waved to a servant next to him.
"Don't go back to your home yet. Go to the Zhang Family Inn in the West City immediately. Find Mrs. Pei Si, who has been to the mansion several times. Tell her that I have something urgent to do to see her."
"yes!"
After the servant agreed, he left the convoy and ran towards the West City.
Pei Ji sat back in the carriage, leaned against the wall of the carriage, and slowly closed his eyes.
While swaying, the carriage slowly returned to the Pei Mansion. When Pei Ji got off the carriage, sat down in the living room, and drank a few sips of water, a servant came outside to inform him.
"Fourth Lady Pei Xinru asks to see you!"
Pei Ji gargled and then wiped his mouth with a cloth.
"please come in!"
A few minutes later, Pei Xinru, dressed in white clothes and a curtain hat, walked in from the outside, rolled up her sleeves and saluted Pei Ji.
"Xinru has met uncle!"
"You're welcome, get up quickly..."
Pei Ji sat cross-legged on the seat in the living room and raised his hand to Pei Xinru. After Pei Xinru stood up, he waved to the servants around him.
"There is nothing for you to do here, you go down first!"
After all the servants around him had gone down, Pei Xinru respectfully said to Pei Ji.
"Uncle, you are so anxious to invite the slave family. What happened?"
"Something did happen, and it was a big deal..."
Pei Ji said to Pei Xinru with a solemn expression.
"Because the Fahua Sect participated in the assassination of Princess Pingyang, the current saint decided to eliminate the Fahua Sect. Not only did he remove all but one of the Fahua Sect's temples in Chang'an and Luoyang, he also eliminated all the unqualified monks in the temples.
All of them were ordered to return to secular life."
"What?"
After Pei Xinru heard the news, she opened her mouth in surprise.
