surnamed Wang

Chapter 250
Buddhism originated in Xichi, but it respects the unity of politics and religion too much, which has long been criticized by monks in the Central Plains.

Buddhism in the Central Plains believes that monks should not participate in the struggle for power and money. They adhere to the theory of transcending the world and entering the world. The West Red Esoteric School is just the opposite. They believe that only the unity of politics and religion can better promote Buddhism and educate the people.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and fought for hundreds of years, and then gradually formed a grand gathering of Buddhism once every ten years. The purpose of the little monk Huiming's trip was to have a Chinese and Western competition with the old living Buddha who was known as the reincarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata. On Buddhism.

A monk should have nothing to do with the world, but living in the world, no one can truly escape from the world, even the reincarnation of the Buddha is no exception.

This is exactly the reason why the young director of Congmo Academy went from birth to entry into the world in a fit of anger.

Little monk Huiming didn't want to come to Xichi to debate the Dharma with an old monk in his 60s, but if he didn't come, Buddhism in the Central Plains would be underestimated. Even if he didn't care about these things, he had to come for that guy.

The little monk lowered his head and closed his eyes, sitting on the white elephant, looking like he was asleep, but in fact he was just closing his eyes and resting his mind, recalling what happened in these years.

Back then at the Zhongzhou Buddhist Association, the little master uncle understood the truth that there is a sky beyond the sky, and he himself has just been watching the sky from a well all these years.

After returning to the temple, the young monk sat in meditation for three days, chewing carefully on the Mahayana Buddhism taught by the young monk of Congmoyuan. Three days later, the young monk went to Congmoyuan alone to seek advice from the monk named Jingkong.

Monk Jingkong knew everything he could talk about, so he talked for a whole day, and then the little monk returned to Hanjing Temple to continue his samadhi, this time for five days.

Five days later, the little master uncle entered the Congmo courtyard again. This time, the monk Jingkong only spoke for one hour, but this time, the little monk realized it for seven days.

……

"Everyone in the world says that Cong Mo is the master of martial arts in the world, why don't you learn one and a half moves?"

The two senior monks in their respective temples sat facing each other. The young monk had a sip of tea and raised a question in his heart.

The young monk smiled and said:
"The Dharma is boundless. If one day you and I can comprehend the Dao, naturally we won't need these external forces."

The little monk frowned, "According to what you say, don't you even need to eat, anyway, after you become a Buddha, you don't need to eat."

"No, the Buddha still needs incense and fire to worship, and all the immortals in the sky can't do without the peach, golden elixir, fine nectar and jade dew. As a mortal, I naturally cannot live without grains."

"Nonsense." The little monk obviously disdains this kind of statement, "I think you are just lazy, thinking that one day you will become a Buddha immediately by chanting sutras."

The young monk smiled without saying a word, and did not refute.

……

A year later, there was a sudden change in Congmo Courtyard. Dozens of monks in the temple were killed, and several elders including the abbot passed away. The way you choose.

Jingkong locked himself in the Sutra Pavilion for seven days, and when he left the pavilion, he was already a Living Buddha transformed into a King Kong.

When the door was opened, the young monk Huiming was waiting at the door. He asked a question:
"does it worth?"

The young monk was speechless.

Two years later, the young monk before leaving asked this question again, and the answer he got was still silence.

"Hey……"

The little monk let out a long sigh and slowly opened his eyes.

The Xichi businesswoman on the side was looking at him curiously. This businesswoman also believed in Buddhism. When she heard Boss Wei talk about the supernatural powers of this little monk, she immediately believed it.

She has been dealing with the Central Plains businessman surnamed Wei for so many years, so she naturally knows the nature of the other party. When it comes to ghosts and gods, she has always kept a respectful distance, neither believing nor denying them.

Now he unexpectedly praised a young monk as the reincarnation of the Buddha, and he thought that he had indeed experienced something himself.

But for the reincarnation of the Buddha, the woman just chooses to hear it. After all, the theory of the Buddha's reincarnation is widely spread in Xichi, and there are only three living Buddhas in Xichi. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no one in a million.

How could such a fairy character be encountered by ordinary people like them.The little master in front of him, nine out of ten, just retreated from the wind and sand by coincidence.

But even so, the businesswoman said with respect in her words:
"Little master, I don't know what you are going to do at Bizhen Temple? The Xichi capital is in chaos right now."

"The little monk is going to attend the appointment, may I ask what happened over there?"

The woman didn't ask the other party where she came to the appointment at such a young age, she just sighed and replied:

"There are many people fleeing here along the way. You must have seen it along the way.

Not long ago, our Majesty was seriously ill, and the two princes fought fiercely for the throne.

If that's all it is, the princess who has been missing for a long time suddenly returns home with [-] elite soldiers in her hands, and it seems that she is also here for the throne.

To be honest, the common people would naturally prefer the princess to sit in this position. It is a well-known fact that the two princes are violent, but the [-] soldiers in the princess' hands are really weak.

The capital is the territory of the two princes, and each has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If Princess Apu wants to get involved, I don't think it will be easy.

Moreover, the two princes were wary of the princess from the very beginning. Although His Majesty was seriously ill, he was still alive. As long as His Majesty went west, the two princes would definitely attack immediately. "

At this time, another colleague heard the conversation between the two, and also came up and said:

"There are troop movements everywhere these days, and we have been checked many times along the way.

Even the border gates are frequently mobilized. Maybe after the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to appease the people, the first thing he will do is to stir up border disputes. At that time, I am afraid that the dynasty will be implicated. "

……

Although these people are ordinary businessmen, they are extremely concerned about national affairs. Once the two princes go to war, it will definitely affect the trade of the whole Xichi.

If there is a war against the dynasty, Purangan, who has carried the trade between the two sides, will definitely bear the brunt, and the businessmen who rely on it for their livelihood will also be affected.

Only those in power will enjoy war, and it is undoubtedly a disaster for ordinary people.

How many emperors in ancient and modern times, in order to achieve their grand plans and hegemony, put the people in dire straits, regarded human life as worthless ants, used countless bones to elevate their thrones, and left themselves famous in history.

Compassionate and compassionate, the little monk lowered his eyebrows and chanted the Buddha's name.

……

On a plain thousands of miles away from the Western Chidu City, the armies of the two sides stood in formation.

The two were stationed across the river. On the west side of the river, there were [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, led by the famous general Luoha of Xichi.On the east side of the river, there are [-] cavalry mixed soldiers and horses, led by a woman.

The woman was extremely beautiful, with deep and mysterious olive green eyes, and a touch of red between her brows was like the finishing touch, which set off her elegant temperament.

The only fly in the ointment is that the woman is frowning at this time, her face full of worry.

"Ah Xiu, there are [-] soldiers and horses on the opposite side, is there a way to fight this battle?"

The woman raised her head and looked at the adjutant opposite. The adjutant's name was Axiu, and he was from the Central Plains.

"Princess Apu, we can fight if we are defeated, but after the defeat, there will not be many people left. We don't know what's going on in the capital. It's best to wait and see what happens."

Ash hesitated for a moment, then continued:
"The villain dares to ask, don't you have any troops to borrow in Xichi?"

Apu frowned when he heard the words, and sighed after coming here for a long time, without hiding it, and said directly:

"There are, but I don't want to use them lightly.

I have an uncle who has [-] white elephant soldiers in his hand, which can easily deal with [-] infantry, but this man has no profit, so if he wants to borrow troops, the price will not be small.

Besides, he and my father have always been at odds, and he must be happy to see us brothers and sisters fighting to lose both. Even if he is willing to lend us troops, once he enters the capital, he will turn his face and deny anyone, and go sit on the throne by himself. "

Axiu also frowned when he heard this. In this way, it is true that he cannot easily borrow this person's power unless it is absolutely necessary.

On the side, Apu went on to say:

"There is another person who has [-] strong soldiers in his hands. He has been stationed along the eastern line all year round. His elite level is not inferior to your generals. It's just..."

"Princess, don't worry, our general will definitely not take this opportunity to make trouble."

After hearing the words, Axiu quickly said that the general he was talking about was naturally Wang Bingru.

Apu shook his head, "I'm not worried about that, that man doesn't need any price, even as long as I open my mouth, he will lead troops to support without hesitation."

When Ah Xiu heard this, he immediately came back to his senses, and said in astonishment: "That man, wouldn't he treat you... the princess?"

The woman nodded.

Benefits are easy to share, and favors are hard to repay. If that person is greedy for money, sex, and power, he will naturally be indispensable for these things after the matter is completed, but what he likes is himself, so he can't give himself away.

Axiu obviously understood this too, he frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"Why don't you discuss it with your uncle, after all, we are a family."

Apu nodded when he heard the words, "That's the only way to go."

……

Axiu is Wang Bingru's adjutant and brother.

This time I came here, in addition to helping Apu win the throne, but also to prevent others from poaching corners.

Although the general usually ignores this Princess Apu and never even expresses the slightest thought in that regard, but as an adjutant, how can Ah Xiu not know what is in his heart?
The general called Apu's name more than once when he was drunk. If he hadn't ordered him not to spread the word, Axiu would have brought Apu over so that she could hear it clearly.

Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is affectionate, if there is really no emotion, how could Wang Bingru risk his beheading and lend Apu 1 horses?
It's a pity that the two of them are destined to be people from two worlds, and they may not be able to say what they think in their hearts in this life.

……

"Since that's the case, you hold the line here, and I'll go find that uncle. The shortest is three days, and the longest is five days."

After thinking about it in his heart, Apu said.

"Okay, princess, don't worry." Ah Xiu said with a smile.

The woman looked at the other party, and couldn't help sighing inwardly, even an adjutant could tell, please, Wang Bingru, do you really not know or are you just pretending to be confused?

After the woman left with her entourage, Axiu was in a daze, and suddenly recalled the scene of a young man pulling three wolf dogs to fight with him, and laughed out loud.

General, general, brother, I did my best.

……

Wang Gangquan and his wife managed to send away five light bulbs, but they had a thousand more light bulbs around them.

Although the two of them were sitting alone in the compartment, they also knew that the partition wall has ears. If the two of them said something that only the bed could say, and were accidentally heard by the officers and soldiers outside, they might not respond on the surface, but they would definitely hear it behind their backs. Have fun with it.

In order to maintain their own image, the two have to be careful about holding hands behind people's backs, and those who don't know it think they are cheating on their shoes.

Fortunately, the group was not far from their destination.

Nanyang Mansion, located in the northern part of Zhongzhou, was a relatively poor place a few years ago, and the local government office was also unable to make ends meet year after year.

Futai He Wen is a well-known upright official, his official uniform is so rotten that he is reluctant to change it, even the patch on his chest is so worn that it is hard to tell whether it is a wild goose or a quail.

In the end, Mrs. He couldn't stand it anymore, and sold a dowry jade bracelet to buy a new official uniform for this clear parent official.

With the new official uniform, He Wen is still reluctant to wear it. He only wears it for a while when he meets his colleagues or face-to-face saints. Every time he goes home, he quickly takes it off and puts it away.

Later, a prince came to Nanyang Mansion, with a thunderous reputation. He was the only king with a different surname in the dynasty. Unfortunately, he made a mistake and was demoted to the county king and sent here.

The Yamen of Nanyang Mansion was so poor that they couldn't even pay the salary, and they had to find a way to welcome the new county king, which made the fourth-rank official really grey. In the end, he had no choice but to ask several people in the mansion for help Big family, everyone pooled some money, and finally held a decent reception banquet.

As a guest, King Pan Jun was naturally embarrassed to come empty-handed, so he brought a few things from the warehouse as a meeting gift. As a result, these few inconspicuous meeting gifts surprised these people who are still relatively wealthy in the place. jaw.

……

Red coral bracelets, the best jade seed bracelets in Xijiang, Java full green jadeite brand, glazed cups from the Royal Glass Factory in Beijing.

Seeing the stunned looks of the companions, King Pan thought that his courtesy was too light, and hurriedly said that he would visit them one by one in the next day.

The subconscious is that there is a bigger share.

After hearing the words, everyone hastened to explain, saying that the gift was too expensive and they dared not accept it.

It's a joke, the gadgets that are handed out are comparable to their half-assed wealth, if they come to the door with a big gift some other day, what will they do in return?
Courtesy and reciprocity, it is said that you respect me one foot and I respect you one foot, even if you can't respect one foot, there must be five or six feet anyway.

If this ancestor really came to the door with a big gift, they would not be allowed to sell the house and land, and use all their wealth to return the gift?

King Pan Jun, who was used to seeing the big world in the capital, finally realized that in the low head of Nanyang Mansion, silver is much more expensive than gold in the capital.

In the next few days, King Pan was going to be a guest at He Futai's house. On that day, no one was ashamed to accept the expensive gift, and King Pan didn't force it. He just chose an excellent water plant before going to He Wen's house. Emerald bracelet.

Because I heard a lot of rumors about this mansion these days, especially the fact that Mrs. He sold the dowry and made a new official uniform for her master, which spread throughout half of Nanyang mansion.

King Pan Jun had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, so he couldn't imagine what it would be like to have no money to buy clothes, but with his heart in mind, a woman who is so virtuous and virtuous is enough for him to admire.

He Wen was naturally determined not to accept it, even if King Pan said something like "this is for my sister-in-law", it didn't work.

King Pan Jun had no choice but to express his own thoughts. He wanted to help He Futai develop Nanyang Mansion and make the local people rich.

He won't accept the money given to him, but once he mentions benefiting the people, this mansion, who is full of people, seems to be ten years younger all of a sudden, not only ordering his wife to prepare meals, but also talking with the new county king all night long.

The next day, the government office began to promulgate various laws and regulations, and in the next three years, the decadent atmosphere of Nanyang Mansion was wiped out.

It is the concept of being an official that He Wen has always been adhering to.

As the local people became richer, the tax revenue of Nanyang Prefecture also increased every year.

At last, the Yamen of Nanyang Prefecture doesn't have to be so tight.
