How dare Fang Xiuzhu let him go to his father and tell him about this?
I'm so ashamed...
She didn't dare to stop her second brother, so she shook her mother's arm and begged: "Mom, please stop him quickly. There is nothing wrong with him. What nonsense are you talking about? Father will definitely punish me."
Mrs. Lu couldn't stand her little daughter's coquettishness the most, and that was true, so she shouted to Fang Jun: "Erlang, come back!"
Fang Jun had to stop and said with a wry smile: "How can mother pamper my little sister like this? This matter is really important. The King of Shu has always been naughty and willful, which has made His Majesty angry more than once or twice.
He is a good-for-nothing. If my little sister follows this kind of person, won’t she be punished for the rest of her life?”
"What do you know? Although the King of Shu is a prince, he is eight streets away from the prince's position. It is impossible to reach him. The best way to get a good result is to be hopeless. He is really as talented as King Wu.
, do you think this is a good thing? The less promising the royal children are, the longer they will last. All they have to do is enjoy the glory and wealth. They have to be ambitious, wise and courageous. Aren’t they asking for trouble? In my opinion, then,
Your Highness the King of Shu is very good."
Listening to his mother's plausive words, Fang Jun was dumbfounded and was speechless for a moment.
It makes sense...
It's no wonder that my mother is a bit "snobbish". Zheng Kunchang's grandson himself mentioned it. In the past, my mother had no objections because she believed in his vision. However, now that she is compared with the King of Shu, my mother is obviously leaning towards him.
to the latter.
Also, one is an official who entered the official career by virtue of his craftsmanship, and the other is a high-ranking prince. How can they be compared?
Anyone has to choose the King of Shu...
However, as a time traveler, he was confident that he could change the life trajectories of Li Chengqian and Li Ke, but he was not sure that he could lead the extremely naughty Li Min to the right path, to be a prince peacefully, to be a wealthy and idle king for a lifetime, and to die in peace in the end.
That kid is so capable of seeking death...
But his mother wouldn't let him mention the matter in front of his father, so he didn't dare to go. He just secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he had to let the King of Shu give up the idea.
Unhappily, he sat back across from his mother. When he saw his little sister secretly glancing at him with her bright eyes blinking, he glared at her, making her tremble in fright. She shrank her neck and hid behind her mother...
Mrs. Lu glared and said angrily: "You are really capable of scaring your own sister!"
Fang Jun didn't answer, looked at his sister and asked: "Tell me, second brother, are you the scum king of Shu in the truth?"
Fang Xiuzhu hid behind her mother, stretched out her head, frowned and said: "How can anyone ask someone like this? There is no such thing as discord. We just played together when we were young and we are familiar with each other. We met today."
I just said a few words, but you made a fuss out of it. It's really annoying! Also, don't open your mouth and keep silent, you scum. Although the King of Shu is not a well-behaved prince, he doesn't have any bad deeds. What are you doing?
Slander people!"
Fang Jun snorted and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
No bad deeds?
Haha, just wait and see, that bastard has a death wish and can make a flower for you in the future...
…
There was heavy snowfall in the past few days, and everything in Chang'an City has still melted. However, in the Zhongnan Mountains, where ravines and ravines are intertwined with mountains, there is still a lot of snow. The sun rises above the head, shining brightly on the snow in the mountains, and the trees on the ridges are densely forested.
It seems to be a little less cold in winter and a little more warm.
In front of the temple, there are several tall and tall pines, which are magnificent.
The main hall was filled with sandalwood. By the time Fang Xuanling and her family entered, the monks in the temple had already invited the idle people out of the hall. The pilgrims were complaining one after another, questioning, "Can we still distinguish between high and low in front of the Buddha?"
These words, but after the monk politely told him that it was Zuopushe, the minister who had become an official, and Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling came with his family to offer incense, the pilgrims shut up one after another and honestly gave up the hall.
Although this powerful official of the Tang Dynasty, who was "less than one person and more than ten thousand people", had become an official, his power still remained. Who would dare to shout about "all beings are equal" in front of him? On the other hand, Fang Xuanling was honest and honest throughout his life.
He is upright, has a good official reputation, and is deeply loved by the people. When they heard that he led his family members to come to offer incense and pray for blessings, they were all willing to do it...
The Fang family, led by Fang Xuanling and his wife, entered the Main Hall, knelt on the futon, burned incense and prayed.
Fang Yizhi and his wife, Fang Jun, Princess Gaoyang, Wu Meiniang, and brothers and sisters Fang Yize, Fang Yiyi, and Fang Xiuzhu were all present, except for the eldest sister, Princess Han.
But not long ago, the imperial doctor diagnosed that Princess Han was several months pregnant...
When Fang Jun returned to Guanzhong and learned about this, he strongly expressed that the child should not be kept. The scene when the eldest sister, Princess Han, had a difficult delivery, was vivid in his mind. It would be very dangerous to have another child this time.
However, in this era where heirs come first, his suggestion was suppressed by the group. Even Lu, a mother, did not agree with Fang Jun's suggestion of aborting the child...
Apart from his deep worries, Fang Jun could only pray to God and Buddha to bless his eldest sister with good luck and good fortune.
Therefore, this time is different from the past. Fang Jun is extremely pious when he offers incense. Regardless of whether the Buddha or other elders are busy or not, and whether they can listen to his prayers, he must be sincere.
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist...
After offering incense and praying, Fang Jun raised his head and looked at the scene in the Main Hall.
Directly in front of the statue stands a majestic sandalwood Buddha statue eight feet high. The left hand of the Buddha hangs down, with the "giving seal" in the middle, which means that it can fulfill the wishes of all living beings. The right hand is bent and stretched upward, with the "giving fearless seal", which means that it can eliminate the suffering of all living beings.
On both sides of it, there are several old monks wearing cassocks with lowered eyebrows, knocking wooden fish and muttering something in their mouths.
Fang Jun saw the leader of the Three Virtues Master, and even saw the long burning lamp in the shape of lotus petals on the long incense table next to him.
That is his natal lamp...
"The roots of the little benefactor's mountain are towering, and the hall is bright. The small calamity in the past has been eliminated. In the future, the blessings will be profound and precious. I only hope that you can achieve great freedom by keeping your heart and your body upright. Don't
If you have an impetuous mind and are eager for quick success, otherwise you will risk your life and become a demon, and you will never recover. That's good, that's good."
An old voice sounded in his ears, awakening Fang Jun who was in a daze.
Looking sideways, it was the Master of Three Virtues who was smiling at him with his hands folded. These two words just now meant exactly to him.
Mrs. Lu looked happy, pushed Fang Jun, and said: "Why don't you quickly thank the master for your advice? There are many princes and nobles in this level who want the master's advice but can't get it. You are so lucky, but you are stupidly distracted.
, What a coward!"
Fang Jun hurriedly knelt on the futon to return the gift and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance..."
When he straightened up, he asked again: "Junior has a question to ask, Master. You said that only by keeping your true heart can you gain great freedom, not to mention that you will not sacrifice your life to become a demon and never recover. But I don't know what this 'heart' refers to.
Where else to look for it?”
"So, Subhuti, the past mind cannot be acquired, the present mind cannot be acquired, and the future mind cannot be acquired. The so-called emptiness of dependent origin, emptiness of dependent origin, don't be attached to where the mind is. The mind is also caused by causes and conditions, and has no self-nature. It has no self-nature.
It is the birth and death of a moment, and there is no birth or death. The mind is in the previous moment and the next moment, maybe five hundred years ago, or maybe five hundred years later..."
The old monk's white eyebrows raised, and an enigmatic smile appeared on his kind face, and he said slowly: "Only you know where your own heart is. How can others know what your heart was at the last moment and what it is like at the next moment?
Heart? How do you know your heart five hundred years ago or your heart five hundred years from now?"
To others, these words are a bit incomprehensible and "unclear", but to Fang Jun, who has never really been involved in Buddhism, they are very clear.
What is "past mind, present mind, and future mind?"
People's hearts are fickle. With the change of time and space, the mind at one moment will be completely different at the next moment. The thoughts at the last moment may be completely different at the next moment. What's more, if the thoughts and understandings were five hundred years ago,
How could it be the same as five hundred years later?
Only you understand this "heart" and only you can find it.
To Fang Jun, this statement seemed to have another interpretation: How can I, an old monk from five hundred years ago, find your heart that comes from five hundred years in the future?
It can even be understood this way: How can I, an old monk five hundred years ago, understand your heart five hundred years later? Your heart is already beyond my understanding. As long as you can find your own heart
, and you think he is right, then just stick to it. Don't lose sight of your original intention and go astray because of your eagerness for quick success.
Cold sweat seeped down the back of my spine...
Until he left Qingyuan Temple, the old monk's eyes, which seemed to be able to see everything in the world, and his words still made Fang Jun feel like he was falling into mist.
Because he thought about it over and over again, these words seemed to be blocking both sides. Regardless of whether you are a prince, general, minister, or a trafficker and a pawn, you seem to be able to find your own position. What is especially hateful is that you expanded these words, don't care.
No matter how you understand it, it seems to make sense...
Mother!
Is this a wise man with boundless wisdom, or a charlatan?
