Yunxi went back after dinner. When he returned to Kunning Palace, Xiyao and him first looked at Zhu Wenyuan, who was still a baby, and then Xiyao asked him: "Husband, do you believe in Buddhism or Taoism?"
?”
Yunxi asked: "Xiyao, do you believe in Buddhism or Taoism?"
Xiyao said: "My father doesn't believe in these things, and neither does my brother, so neither of us sisters believe in these things. But my mother worships Manjushri Bodhisattva. It is said that my father spent half his life in the army and killed many people. She worships Bodhisattva as her father."
Alleviate sin."
Yunxi said: "I probably don't believe in these Buddhist teachings, but I would rather believe that they exist than not believe that they don't exist. Moreover," Yunxi said seriously now: "Who dares to assert, who can assert that Buddha, Jade
Does the emperor really not exist? Even Confucius said: 'Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them,' instead of directly saying that ghosts and gods do not exist."
"If ghosts and gods really exist, who can guarantee that Grandpa Huang is not the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas?"
“Oh!”
What on earth did Yun Hei say?
Yunxi said seriously: "Well, Master Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, Master Guangyuan of Guangji Temple in Mount Wutai, and several other masters unanimously believe that Grandpa Huang is the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha."
"Li Xuanzong of Wudang Mountain and Zhang Yuchu of Longhu Mountain all believe that Grandpa Huang is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor of Haotian."
Xiyao was completely confused. Yunxi stopped teasing her and said, "I'm going to see these eminent monks and Taoist priests today. It has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not." Then he changed the subject and said, "How is Xiyi today?"
Xiyao knew that Yunxi didn't want to explain more, so she also said: "Okay, and the doctors at the imperial hospital said he is a little prince."
Yunxi didn't care whether he was a prince or not. He already had two sons, one of whom was a legitimate son. It didn't matter to him whether the next one was a boy or a girl. He even wanted to have a few more daughters. But he definitely couldn't talk like this.
, praised him, and then asked: "Bao Qing, Min'er and Siqi are not so naughty, are they?"
Xiyao shook her head and said, "Why don't you be naughty? I broke a few more pieces of glass today, and I also spanked Min'er and Siqi on the buttocks a few times."
Yunxi laughed and said: "Next time, Baoqing will be beaten too! It's not good to play with something. If you insist on smashing the glass, you should be beaten!"
Xiyao rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're not used to it! You were so naughty when you were little, what will happen when you grow up!"
Yunxi said: "What's the use of being naughty? You'll save yourself from being bullied when you grow up. Besides, children who weren't naughty when they were young will probably have little potential when they grow up."
Xiyao said: "Our royal daughters are still worried about being bullied when they grow up? It would be nice if they didn't bully others." As for what Yunxi said later, Xiyao had heard Yunxi say it many times, and she still said it at first.
I refuted it, but later stopped because Yunxi was very insistent on this point of view.
Although she usually talks to Yunxi like an ordinary couple, she still knows very clearly about what should be said and what is best not to be said.
Xiyao changed the topic to a safe place again and said: "Speaking of which, when my mother entered the palace, she whispered to me that the Manjusri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai was the most efficacious, but Mount Wutai was too far away from the capital, and she didn't want to
It won’t work if you let someone else do it for you.”
Xiyao was just chatting, but when Yunxi heard the words "too far away", he suddenly felt that his previous plan regarding Buddhism and Taoism was a little inappropriate, and he immediately looked at Wang who was following four or five steps away.
Xi said: "Wang Xi, you immediately send someone to Fanguan to convey the order, and ask the abbots of the two major Buddhist temples in Ganzhou and Sanqin, as well as the abbot of Baiyun Temple in Peking, to come to the palace tomorrow."
Wang Xi agreed and was about to deliver the edict when Yunxi remembered the young monk named Jue Yuan and said, "Tomorrow let the young monk Jue Yuan who spoke today also enter the palace."
The king was pleased to see that he had no other instructions, so he turned around and went down to deliver the order.
Yunxi smiled at Xiyao and said, "You reminded me again. Tell me how you want me to thank you."
Xiyao said: "How can we say thank you?"
Yunxi's original intention was to ask Xiyao to cooperate. However, although Xiyao was very qualified as a real wife and lived harmoniously in daily life, she was not as good as Baoqin in terms of pleasing men.
Yunxi secretly sighed, if he had hugged Qin just now, he would have come up to her and acted coquettishly. However, it would be too abnormal for a woman to have all the skill points. Yunxi, the three famous women, each have their own characteristics, and they have no differences.
Overlapping just allows Yunxi to meet different requirements for wives, which is not bad.
After chatting for a while, they returned to the dormitory to rest.
Both Buddhism and Taoism attach great importance to expanding their influence on the emperor. Whichever sect or temple the emperor prefers is slightly more popular, and the Taoist temple will become prosperous immediately, especially those with fierce competition such as Jiuhua Mountain, Wutai Mountain, and Emei Mountain.
place.
Tonight, Master Guangyuan of Guangji Temple in Mount Wutai was talking to his junior disciple, Master Guangchuan.
Guangyuan said: "Guangzhuan, have you heard clearly? The queen's mother worships Manjushri Bodhisattva?"
Guang Chuan said: "It is certain. Besides, in addition to enshrining the Buddha and Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, Qixia Temple also enshrines Manjushri Bodhisattva."
Guangyuan said: "Even if Yancui is cramming now, it can't compare to Wutai Mountain where we have been enshrining Manjusri Bodhisattva for thousands of years. Have you found out when Mrs. Xue goes to the temple to offer incense every month?"
Guang Chuan said: "On the second and sixteenth day of every month, as long as there is nothing else, Mrs. Xue will go to Qixia Temple to offer incense."
Guangyuan asked: "Why is it the second and sixteenth day of the lunar month? Aren't most people the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"
Guangzhuan replied: "Senior brother, Mrs. Xue goes to the palace to visit the Queen on the first and fifteenth day of every month. She has no time to spare. Therefore, she goes to Qixia Temple to offer incense on the second and sixteenth day of every month."
Guangyuan said: "It turns out that this is the case. We have been here for a long time, and this incident is really unexpected."
"Then on the second day of the Lunar New Year next month, we brothers and I will go to Qixia Temple to discuss Buddhist scriptures with Yan Cui. No, we will go in the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year and talk until midnight so that we can stay overnight at Qixia Temple. When will Mrs. Xue go to the temple?
fragrant?"
Guangzhuan replied: "We arrived at Qixia Temple just after midnight. We still have to go on the first day of the new year, otherwise we may not be able to meet Mrs. Xue."
But it was widely spread that he immediately asked: "Brother, why do we want to please Mrs. Xue so much? She can't meet His Majesty, and I heard that the Queen does not believe in Buddhism."
Guangyuan said: "Why are you so stupid! Even if the Empress does not believe in Buddhism, she will always know about Manjusri Bodhisattva if she is familiar with it. Let's go to see Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue will probably talk to the Empress in the chat. "
"The Queen has a good impression of us. Maybe she will talk about us to His Majesty and praise us."
"The influence of the royal family on our Buddhists is too great. Just because the late emperor wanted to move the border and ban the sea, in order to prevent believers from going to Mount Putuo to worship Buddha and violate the ban on sea, he destroyed dozens of temples in Mount Putuo, and destroyed Mount Putuo. All the monks moved away."
"Let's talk about what happened today. Baiyun Palace in Shandong is a Taoist temple that I have never heard of before, senior brother. Because I was the first to respond to His Majesty, I will be able to enter the palace to give lectures to His Majesty tomorrow."
"Jiuhua Mountain Yuantong Temple, just because the young novice monk brought here is too talkative, didn't we just hear that the two ministers were chatting and said that His Majesty has ordered not to give an ultimatum to Yuantong Temple."
"So you must make good friends with people related to the royal family."
"And it's just a few words. It's a matter of giving a Buddha statue. Although it is troublesome to consecrate the Buddha statue, it doesn't disappear after that. Even if it doesn't work, we haven't lost much."
While the two brothers were talking, someone knocked on the door. Guangyuan said: "Come in."
Then a young novice monk came in and said to Guangyuan: "Master, your Majesty just ordered someone to deliver the edict. Although it has nothing to do with this temple, the master still asked his disciple to speak."
Guangyuan said: "What decree has your Majesty announced?"
The young novice said: "His Majesty's decree is to announce that the abbots of the Baiyun Palace in Beiping and the Great Buddhist Temple in Ganzhou (today's Zhangye) will also enter the palace tomorrow. Also, the monk Jueyuan who refuted Your Majesty in the lobby today is also summoned to enter the palace tomorrow.
Guangyuan said: "I understand, you can go down." The little novice monk bowed and left.
Then Guangchuan said to Guangyuan: "The Baiyun Palace in Beiping is just that, it is also a grand temple in the world; the Great Buddhist Temple in Ganzhou, how could Your Majesty ask them to enter the palace? And that little novice, why did Your Majesty ask them to enter the palace?"
"It doesn't look like you want to punish him?"
Guangyuan said: "We can't guess it even if we guess here. We will find out when we enter the palace tomorrow."
The next day Yunxi got up early and went to court. First he talked about a few ordinary things.
Then when Yunxi felt that something was not normal, Zhengzhi, who had been moved from the editor of the Hanlin Academy to the censor of Huguang Road, said: "Your Majesty, I heard that your Majesty went to Fanguan yesterday and met all the people who came. Did the monks and Taoist priests in the capital hear it wrong?"
Yunxi nodded and said, "What the original censor said is true."
Yuan Zhi then took out a memorial and said, "I will advise your Majesty today."
With that said, he handed the memorial to the Han general standing by, who then passed it on to Yunxi.
At the same time, he also said: "I, the censor of Huguang Road, Yuan Zhi, advise your majesty not to get close to Buddhism (Buddhism) and Taoism."
"Buddhism and Taoism are nothing more than foolish people and foolish women who believe in them. They cannot help the world and bring peace to the people, and they cannot feed the people below. What good will it do to the country."
"... Your Majesty, your Majesty will continue his career and guide his descendants to all generations, but how can he abandon the sacred knowledge and worship heresy!"
