"Your Majesty is doing the job, and I am very satisfied with it."
Long Chen replied with a smile.
The empress and Long Chen had talked about Mojie and knew the importance of Mojie.
Long Chen will use Mojie to replace Kongji and make the Eastern Zhou Dynasty the orthodox Buddhism. This plan is very grand, and the empress will naturally spend a lot of money.
Emperor Lingyi caught up from behind and asked: "You went to Xixia just to be a monk?"
Long Chen asked back: "What do you think the princess thinks?"
Di Lingyi curled her lips and did not answer. She thought Long Chen went to Xixia to steal women.
The procession walked through Jingshi Street, exited through the east gate, and walked all the way to the Conversion Temple.
Mojie looked up and saw that the refuge temple had been completely renovated and was no longer a dilapidated scene.
There were dozens of monks at the door to greet him. These people were transferred by the empress from the temples around the capital.
Because of the ban on Buddhism, only so many monks can be found.
"Welcome to Master Mojie."
The monks put their hands together and bowed.
Mojie replied: "My Buddha is compassionate."
The empress said: "I specially repaired the temple for the master. From now on, this will be the master's dojo."
Mojie was very happy in his heart and worshiped: "This poor monk would like to thank the Holy Master for his kindness."
The empress said: "Master will stay here. When is convenient, I, all my dear friends, and the people of the capital will come here to listen to Master's sermon."
Mojie paid his respects and said, "Half a month later, the poor monk came here to preach the sermon. He invited the Holy Master, General Long, and all the great lords and benefactors to come here to listen to the sermon."
Mojie meditated in the dungeon of Zhaoti Temple for a long time, and discussed with Long Chen on the way. He gained a new understanding of Buddhism. He also wanted to preach his Buddhism to all living beings and save them from the sea of suffering.
The empress smiled and said: "Okay, I will come in half a month."
The ministers also want to hear Mojie's wise words.
The common people were even more delighted. In the past, they could only believe in secretly. Now the empress publicly welcomes an eminent monk, and from now on they can publicly burn incense and worship Buddha.
They knew the name of Mojie, a master who even Long Chen would admit defeat.
On that day, Mojie stayed in the temple, and the empress returned to the court with all the civil and military officials.
Many people in the capital immediately went to the temple to burn incense and worship, but they discovered two strange things:
There is no name at the entrance of the temple. It used to be called Shunyi Temple, but now it has no name.
The main hall originally enshrined the Buddha of Salvation, but now it is gone and empty.
Even so, because of Mojie's reputation, there was still an endless stream of people offering incense and worshiping.
On the way back to the court, the empress said: "You have left a good reputation for Mojie, and now you can use it."
The last time Long Chen admitted defeat in public, his reputation spread throughout the world.
"Mojie is indeed a rare Buddhist wizard. He will achieve great achievements."
These days when discussing Buddhist scriptures in the carriage, Mojie showed his amazing talent.
"I hope he can overcome Kongji in one fell swoop and make me, Dazhou, an authentic Buddhist sect."
The empress looked forward to the decline of Zhaoti Temple.
"I should say it's just around the corner."
Long Chen was very sure that Mojie would open the forum to preach in half a month, which would definitely shock the world.
The empress returned to the palace, Long Chen returned to Commander Long's Mansion, and the three princesses also followed Long Chen back to his home.
"Mother, isn't it good for Third Sister to be like this? Some people in the court started talking about it."
Di Yuwei looked at the two people leaving and felt very unhappy.
The empress said: "Long Chengen is still the chief eunuch, there is nothing wrong with serving the princess."
Emperor Xingwan immediately said: "Where can I also move there?"
The empress frowned and said, "Nonsense!"
Di Yuwei wanted to agree, but when the empress scolded him, he immediately shut up.
When Long Chen returned to the house, He Juntao immediately came forward to pay homage: "Master, Shopkeeper Chai is in the guest room. He wants to say goodbye to the master."
Chai Yuguan has been back for several days and has been waiting for Long Chen to come back.
"good."
Thanks to Chai Yuguan's help in this operation, Long Chen should also thank him.
When we arrived at the guest room, Chai Yuguan and Chai Gui were both there.
"Shopkeeper Chai, Master Chai."
Long Chen entered the room with a smile, and the two of them hurriedly bowed: "Greetings to Dazhu Kingdom."
Long Chen motioned for them to sit down, and the servant served tea again.
"I have wronged Master Chai this time."
Chai Gui immediately said: "I'm not aggrieved, I'm not aggrieved. I eat and drink well in the guest room every day, but I bothered you to take a trip. I'm really ashamed."
If we don't talk about Long Chen's abduction of Mojie, Long Chen is equivalent to acting as a escort for Chai Yuguan.
Chai Yuguan also said: "Yes, when we encounter horse thieves in the valley, I think it was the adults who took action, and I am very grateful."
At that time, Chai Yuguan thought that Wang Bin was highly skilled in martial arts. After he came back and learned about Long Chen's identity, Chai Yuguan came back to his senses and knew that Long Chen must have taken action at that time.
"Don't be polite. From now on, the sandalwood does not need to go to Xixia anymore. It can be sold to Zhou Dynasty. I will give you the market price."
"Thank you, sir."
The roads in Xixia are difficult and unsafe, so it is best to sell them to the capital.
"I won't disturb you, sir, so I'll take my leave."
Long Chen knew they still had business to do, so he didn't hold back, got up and sent them out to leave.
Returning to the backyard, Fei Rina came over in small steps wearing a kimono and said, "Master, our fan dance is even better. Master, do you have time to appreciate it?"
Long Chen said: "Let's take a shower first, and you all can come over and serve me together."
Fei Rina immediately summoned a dozen women, put on Japanese-style yukata, and took a bath at once.
....
In a villa near the water outside the capital, Ji Ba was sitting under the shade of a tree, holding a fishing rod in his hand. Two beauties stood beside him, fishing by the water.
Hong Qi hurried over and said, "President, Long Chengen is back."
Ji Ba moved the fishing rod in his hand and asked, "Mojie is back too?"
Hong Qi said: "The empress has prepared a grand welcoming ceremony for Mojie. Mojie has already stayed at the refuge temple and has scheduled a sermon ceremony in half a month."
The buoy on the water surface moved. Ji Ba suddenly pulled up the fishing rod, but it was empty and no fish took the bait.
"What a good plan. I admire him more and more."
Ji Ba threw the fishing rod aside, looked at the flowing river water, and couldn't help but admire it.
"Yes, Mojie is extremely talented, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has gained another powerful Martial Emperor."
"In addition, Mojie is a disciple of Monk Kongji. This move can also suppress Xixia's reputation. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."
Hong Qi thought for a long time before expressing his opinion.
Regarding what Long Chen did, Hong Qi had to think for a long time before daring to say anything, for fear of being scolded for being thoughtless.
Ji Ba turned to look at Hong Qi, smiled slightly, and said, "Not bad, I finally know how to think."
Hong Qi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was right and said, "Long Chengen is too treacherous. I have to think a few more times."
Ji Ba sneered and said: "How many more times do you think about it? You just came up with this nonsense! You are said to have no brains!"
Hong Qi was so dumbfounded, why was he so clueless?
Isn't it just for these things that Long Chen abducted Mojie to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?
Do you have any other plans?
"Isn't it like that?"
Hong Qi said in a low voice.
"Logically speaking, I should be in Nanliang this season, but I am worried that if I leave, you will be betrayed by Long Chengen!"
Ji Ba sneered again and again, feeling that Hong Qi was getting stupider and stupider.
"This subordinate is stupid, please make it clear, President."
Hong Qi scolded Long Chen in his heart for thinking too much and he couldn't understand it at all, so he got scolded every time.
