Chapter 1,461 Victory or defeat in the hearts of the people
The monk said angrily: "But he beat so many of us, why should he be detained anyway? What if he absconds in fear of crime?"
The yamen servant puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I will handle this matter. If the second master Fang escapes, just hold me accountable!"
The monk looked angry, but there was nothing he could do.
It is a rule in the world for officials to protect each other. What can a monk do?
Fang Jun nodded to the yamen servant: "Thank you! May I ask how you call me?"
Isn't it just for the sake of a friendly relationship that someone is so considerate? I am not an unkind person. Regardless of whether I am a sect or a general, there is no guarantee that one day I will be of use to someone else, and it is not a bad idea to form a good relationship.
Saying "thank you" is a favor without any expense, and it can be regarded as accepting the favor of this government servant.
Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to spend the night in the county government office...
The yamen servant was overjoyed and said quickly: "The little one's name is Wu Dawei, and he ranks ninth in the family, so everyone calls him Wu Jiu..."
David Wu...this name sounds familiar.
"That's it, I'll take my leave!" Fang Jun nodded, turned around and mounted his horse, and walked away with Mr. Xi without even looking at Princess Gaoyang in the carriage.
Princess Gaoyang was furious, stamped her feet fiercely, and shouted: "Go back to the palace!"
Bad Fangjun, dead Fangjun, black-faced god!
Do you really think that I care about you? You are embarrassing me!
Just wait, and I will read a copy of it in front of your father when you get back, so that you can read it!
The carriage turned around and returned along the way it came.
Princess Gaoyang lifted up the curtain of the carriage and happened to see Bianji still standing under the tree. That face that she thought was quite handsome in the past now showed endless despair, which made Princess Gaoyang feel a deep feeling of despair in her heart.
disgust.
It's all this stinky monk's fault. If you hadn't stopped me, how could you have caused Fang Jun's misunderstanding?
Princess Gaoyang was not easy to deal with either. She lost her temper and knocked on the compartment of the carriage. A guard came over from outside and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Princess Gao Yang pursed her lips: "That monk named Bianji is disgusting to look at..."
"My subordinate understands!"
Hearing this, the guard outside understood the situation, called a companion, turned his horse and returned to the gate of Ximing Temple.
Bianji was lost for a while, then he stood upright tremblingly. Looking at the monks in front of him who were wailing and uttering obscene words, he felt bored for no reason.
Is this what is called a monk?
Fang Jun was indeed right. Such scoundrels have simply ruined the reputation of Buddhism. If things go on like this, the pure land of Buddhism in the eyes of the world will indeed become a filthy and dirty place, making people avoid it.
What else is there to talk about seeking the Buddha wholeheartedly and attaining the righteous path?
While my heart was racing up and down, I suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves beside my ears.
Bianji turned around in shock, and saw two knights riding horses. When they came to him, they didn't say a word, picked up the whip in their hands, and whipped it off.
Bianji just saw the afterimage of the two whips in front of him, and his face felt hot and sharp pain, and he couldn't help but scream and cover his face. The two knights ignored it and just cracked the whips fiercely. In a moment, Bianji...
The machine was whipped and whined endlessly, rolling all over the place.
The two knights on horseback hesitated for a moment, and then said coldly: "My Royal Highness tells you that since you are an outsider, you should cultivate your mind and character. If you stop a woman on the street, you will pester her.
Is it the work of an eminent monk to ruin a woman's reputation? This whipping is a small lesson. If there is another time, you should be careful of the good head!"
After saying this, he pinched the horse's belly and turned around to leave.
Arrogant to the extreme!
The government officials who remained at the scene were stunned, and even the monks on the ground stopped screaming.
Everyone finally understood that everything today was actually caused by this excuse to provoke Her Highness the Princess!
"Bah!" Wu Jiu spat in disgust: "I thought you were some kind of eminent monk, but it turns out you are just a bunch of scumbags with human faces and animal hearts! How dare you to complain about it here? Let me tell you, this lawsuit
, even if we fight in front of the emperor, you can't win! Listen to my advice, go back and read a few Buddhist scriptures, and ask the Buddha how he was born to be a monk!"
The seriously injured monks looked at each other, speechless.
They just saw Bian Ji being beaten by Fang Jun, so they shared the same hatred, but they never asked where this incident originated. It is true that they are not pure-hearted and stoic monks, and they have done a lot of dirty things secretly.
It's true, but after all, we are monks, and we still need to keep our basic bottom line and face. How can we be embarrassed to be slapped in the face so shamelessly?
The leading monk let out a long sigh, struggled to get up on the ground, and clasped his hands to Wu Jiu and said: "This poor monk is reckless and protects his own people without knowing the reason. Let's let this matter go. Please inform the benefactor of this temple.
I will never pursue any further charges and sincerely apologize. Amitabha..."
After saying that, he and the monk who got up helped each other back to the temple.
But no one looked at the defense machine again...
Bian Ji stood there blankly, his face turning green and white, completely forgetting that he was covered in whip marks. It wasn't until a cold wind carrying snowflakes blew by that he shivered and revealed a sad smile.
He raised his head and looked at the gray sky, feeling empty in his heart.
What Buddha, what love, what hate, what humiliation, what practice...
At this moment, everything was silent.
Bian Ji took a deep breath and staggered into the cold wind and bitter snow. His monk's robes were blown to pieces by the cold wind, and his thin body looked even more lonely. He just walked out of Chang'an...
A few years later, a lone monk used his compassionate mind and profound medical skills to save countless poor mountain people in the poor mountains and rivers of Lingnan. People erected monuments in his honor and praised him, but this handsome monk was just
Live indifferently, one person with one bowl, one bamboo basket and one bamboo stick, with no fixed whereabouts, practicing hard...
*****
Princess Gaoyang returned to the palace, but did not go directly to the palace. Instead, she went straight to the Dragon Palace angrily. Only when she arrived did she realize that the emperor was not here, but had gone to Concubine Yang's palace.
Princess Gaoyang turned another corner and came to Concubine Yang's palace.
Concubine Yang had an unexpected cold a few days ago, and she lingered on the hospital bed for several days. Today, she finally got out of bed. Although His Majesty Li Er has countless beauties in the harem, he still has a deep affection for the princess of the previous dynasty.
, came here specially to visit.
The emperor sat on the brocade couch, leisurely picked up a bright red cherry from the white jade tray, put it into his mouth to taste, spit out the core after a moment, and said: "Although this cherry looks the same as the one in summer,
But it is something that defies nature. It has not caught the spirit of spring and summer, so it will inevitably taste sour. The concubine is recovering from illness. It is better to eat less of this kind of food to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort."
Concubine Yang was sitting horizontally at the bottom. She smiled gently when she heard this and said, "These things were all sent by Fang Jun. With such filial piety, how can I, my concubine, depress someone's thoughts?"
Although she is nearly forty years old, Concubine Yang is well-maintained and she was born in the former Sui royal family. She has a noble temperament and a virtuous demeanor. Not only does she not look older, but she has a bit more grace and demure carved by the years, just like the aged A fine wine that lasts for a long time.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the beauty's cheeks as white and tender as freshly peeled eggshells, and the gentle expression on her eyebrows, and felt quite moved. Then he reached out and took Concubine Yang's soft jade hand, and said with a smile: "That boy actually has a look in his eyes. He is changing." I am trying to make you happy. Is it because you know that someone loves you, so you want to save the country by doing something wrong?"
Concubine Yang's pretty face turned red, she covered the emperor's big hand with her backhand, and said angrily: "How can your majesty look at people like this? Other concubines dare not say it, but Fang Jun definitely has no such thoughts. Ever since Ke'er left the capital, he He sent filial piety tributes from time to time. What he values is this affection, and he definitely has no plans for me. Besides, His Majesty is wise and powerful. Even if that kid has some evil intentions, how can he hit me like this? Come on? His Majesty never allows the harem to interfere in politics."
Everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er has extremely strict control over the harem. Except for the late Empress Changsun who occasionally gives advice on the government affairs, the other concubines are strictly prohibited from discussing the government affairs, let alone participating in them.
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "You said you haven't been bribed by that kid? You have been saying good things to that kid just now..."
Concubine Yang smiled and said: "Your Majesty has his own concerns, so what does it matter what I say?"
His Majesty Li Er enjoyed the little fun between the couple very much. He felt happy even if he bickered, so he squeezed Concubine Yang's delicate hand and said, "It's getting late. I will stay here today. Let's have a rest early." .”
When Concubine Yang heard this, she felt happy in her heart. She nodded gently and said, "Then I will wait for your majesty to take a bath."
At this moment, a sweet cry suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Father, please quickly issue an imperial edict and chop that black-faced god with a knife! This makes me so angry..."
His Majesty Li Er and Concubine Yang were stunned and looked at each other.
