I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 650: Guilty Heart, Higher Level, Sizzling Sound
In a private room of a restaurant, Zhang Siwei flipped through a stack of manuscripts in his hand, marveling in admiration.

"What a talented woman, what a talented woman.

These poems are written in a refined and elegant style, and most of the Hanlin scholars are ashamed of themselves. Feng Bao, also known as Shuanglin, is a great lover of playing the zither and chess, and is well-versed in many subjects. He is a master of the Ouyang Xun style, and is admired by many Hanlin scholars.

Only a man who loves talent like this can choose such a beautiful girl. "

Shen Yi Guan had an obscene smile on his face, "I heard that Luan Feng'er got married at the age of sixteen, and won the title of Qinhuai River No. 1 Scholar.

At that time, the emperor, as the grandson of the emperor, had great power in the court and the country, and was about to take the throne. The wealthy families and merchants in Nanjing prepared in advance to please Mr. Feng, and spent a lot of money to buy Luan Feng'er and presented her to Mr. Feng.

Lord Fengpan, I am completely puzzled. How can this eunuch and his concubine consummate their marriage?"

Zhang Siwei pointed at Shen Yikuan and laughed, "I knew you were the only one who was interested in the bed."

"It's a matter of human relations, so students are naturally curious."

"Don't be too curious, just discuss it in private, and don't make it public. If those people hear about it, they won't be very tolerant."

Shen Yi Guan chuckled, "Do they have the capacity?"

"You Shen Buyi! You are such a mischievous ghost."

Shen Yi Guan leaned forward slightly and continued, "I have heard people say that when eunuchs have sex with women, they will scratch and bite the women all over their bodies, and they will sweat and become exhausted. Every time the women have sex with them for one night, they will be tired and sick for several days. This is because the fire in their body is stagnant and not flowing smoothly.

There is only one wife in the Feng family, Luan Feng'er.

The student looked at Luan Feng'er, she was healthy and well. I occasionally saw her at the Nanyuan Garden Party during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. Her face was rosy and her lips were red. She looked very healthy and didn't look like someone who was tired or sick.

Zhang Siwei also became interested, stroking his beard and said, "I have seen Luan Feng'er from a distance, and she is indeed stunning.

Some people also said that although eunuchs were castrated, they were still men and had to be close to women to sleep peacefully at night. Therefore, there were many couples in the palace, pretending to be a couple.

In the previous dynasty, there was a eunuch named Hou Yu, who had many wives and concubines. One of them was Bai Xiu, a stunning beauty who was Hou Yu's favorite concubine. After Hou Yu died, Bai Xiu married someone else. Only then did outsiders know that eunuchs also needed the pleasure of bed, and even more than ordinary people. What you said is a kind of... "

While drinking, the two of them had an interesting and in-depth discussion about how eunuchs lead their married life. They didn't stop until their faces turned red and they were sweating.

Finally, we get to the point.

"No doubt, are you sure?"

"Mr. Feng Pan, of course you are sure. Luan Yongfang is really stupid. The student coaxed him with a few words, and he believed them to be true. He regarded the student as a confidant and wanted to give his heart to him.

Eunuch Feng, a thousand-year-old fox, actually recruited such a brother-in-law. It was really fate. The student encouraged him a few words, and he wanted to take his sister and run to Pan Mansion tonight. "

Shen Yikuan said proudly.

"After hearing what his students said, in his eyes, Pan Yinglong is a new minister who is favored by the emperor and has a bright future. His close friend, Eunuch Yang, the Supervisor of the Imperial Household, is enough to compete with Eunuch Feng.

With the support of famous officials from the southeast, such as the Duke of Xuancheng County, the Duke of Laiyang County, the Marquis of Dongning, Liu Daichuan, Wang Zijian, and Xu Wenchang, why should we be afraid of a mere Feng Bao? "

Zhang Siwei pointed at Shen Yikuan and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. "Buyi has a sharp tongue, not inferior to Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Yan Ying and Li Shiqi. Good, good, let Luan Yongfang mess with Pan Yinglong's heart."

Shen Yi Guan asked: "Mr. Feng Pan, there is no big problem with Luan Yongfang. The key is Pan Yinglong. Will he take the bait?"

Zhang Siwei stroked his beard and said, "Pan Fengwu was successful at a young age, but unfortunately, when he was in the prime of his life, his father and son were killed by salt merchants. His wife and daughter committed suicide, and his family was destroyed.

It is said that Pan Fengwu's late wife was the daughter of his teacher. They had known each other since childhood and were deeply in love after marriage. I heard Eunuch Yang occasionally say that Pan Fengwu's late wife was also extremely talented and beautiful, so he avenged his great hatred and became a high-ranking official, but he never remarried.

"Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other clouds are but mounds." Pan Fengwu was also a man of deep love.

But Luan Feng'er is a stunning beauty, and she has such talent, isn't she just like Pan Fengwu's late wife, a person of both talent and beauty?"

Shen Yi Guan slapped his thigh and said, "Mr. Feng Pan is absolutely right!

Luan Yongfang said that Pan Fengwu had a good impression of his sister. I also heard that Pan Fengwu had a good impression of Luan Fenger because she was about 50% similar to his late wife.

Zhang Siwei glanced at him, a little surprised, "You figured out such a private matter?"

Shen Yi Guan laughed, "It's nothing more than giving money. Although Pan Fengwu's family was destroyed, he still had servants and clansmen. These people had been dispersed before, and they will be slowly brought back after he gets his revenge and rises to prominence.

The Pan family is not Xiyuan, where the fences are tightly guarded and the rules are strict. It's nothing more than spending a little more money, and you can find out everything you can."

You can do whatever you want if you have money!

The Shen family of Ningbo is a Jiangnan family, a big landlord and a big businessman. After thousands of years of accumulation, they have a rich family property. As the eldest son of the first wife, Shen Yiguan's family doesn't have much, but a lot of money.

But at this moment he felt a sense of crisis.

The Baisha Shen family, a branch of the Ningbo Shen family, got on board the Coordination Office by chance and followed the footsteps of Yang Caishen. In a few years, they became wealthy merchants in the southeast.

His second son, Shen Wanxiang, graduated from Xiangshan Academy. He ranked fifth in the first class of the Wuchen Imperial Examination in the second year of Longqing. With the powerful connections of the Southeast faction, he is now Pan Yinglong's secretary. His future is much better than that of Shen Yikuan, who has been lying in the National History Museum and has become a turtle for a thousand years.

There is no harm without comparison. Shen Yikuan now knows shame and becomes braver.

"It seems that this plan has great potential."

"Lord Fengpan, as long as Luan Yongfang finds a way to get Pan Fengwu and Luan Fenger to meet, Pan Fengwu will have to bear the consequences even if he doesn't want to.

No one can bear to see his wife having an affair with someone else, not even a eunuch."

Shen Yikuan chuckled, his voice full of pride.

Zhang Siwei looked calm, stroking his beard and said, "Eunuchs are disabled people, and their minds are even smaller. You and my people, keep a close eye on Luan Yongfang. When the time is right, we will inform Mr. Feng."

He is in charge of the East Factory, and has secret agents all over the capital. He is much better than you and me in tracking down a person and investigating a matter. Moreover, we must avoid suspicion in this matter and cannot leave any trace behind. "

Shen Yi Guan understood and replied, "Lord Feng Pan is very smart! We will stay out of it. Even if they fight, it is just the Chu Party and the Southeast Party fighting. What does it have to do with us?"

Zhang Siwei smiled and pointed at the pile of manuscripts: "Put these copies away. Although they are not written by Mrs. Feng, they are at least a piece of evidence. When the time comes, give them to Mr. Feng quietly, and the drama can begin."

"Great, great! Lord Feng Pan is really great!"

At this time, Pan Fengwu was accompanying King Yi Sun, Right State Councillor Sim Eui-gyeom, and Left State Councillor Jeong In-hong on a visit to the capital.

I took a tour of the five cities and also took a tour of the South City, which looked like a large construction site.

Looking at the boiling South City, Li Sun and the other two felt very ordinary.

They had no idea what Nancheng was like before.

Shen Yiqian and Zheng Renhong had previously been on diplomatic missions to the Celestial Empire and had lived in the capital for a period of time, but had never been to Nancheng.

Without comparison, the three of them had no idea that South City was undergoing earth-shaking changes. They were just shocked by the generosity of the Celestial Empire. So much cement bricks and stones, so many facilities and machines, to build a culvert that could be called an underground river, just to drain sewage and rainwater?

Wouldn't it be a huge loophole in the capital's impregnable fortress if such a tall culvert gate passed under the city walls and the canal?
All civilians are not conscripted for labor service!

This made Li Sun and the other two feel even more incredible.

Instead of forcing the common people living near the capital to bring their own dry food to serve the court, the court hired them with real money.

My father in the Celestial Empire is really rich, so take me flying. I never want to go back to that damn capital Seoul.

In that damn place, it takes as long as Chinese New Year to eat some meat.

A dozen dishes of snacks and dipping sauces dare to call themselves a state banquet. We are in Beijing, and we can't finish the Huaiyang cuisine alone in a month. We can't finish it at all!
After visiting the five cities, Pan Yinglong took Li Sun and the other two to pay homage to the major Buddhist temples.

“Your Highness, Shen Yi Zheng, Zheng Zan Zhang, the Grand Lama Zhaba Gyaltsen of Jiegu Monastery in Yushu, Qinghai, the Grand Lama Chilo Gyatso of Jingwang Monastery in Zhuoni, Gannan, and the Grand Lama Sonam Gyatso of Litang Monastery in Ganzi, Sichuan. These six Grand Lamas are all great masters of profound Buddhist teachings. It is said that they have supreme powers to bring back the dead and turn flesh and bones into white.

Currently, they are temporarily stationed in Yongding Temple, Hongguang Temple, Biyun Temple, Lingguang Temple, Longquan Temple, and Zizhu Temple. They take turns to explain the Dharma and save all living beings.

Among them, Hongguangyuan was built in the fourth year of Chenghua and was supervised by Zheng Tong, the eunuch of the inner palace.

Zheng Tong was originally from your country. He was ordered by your king to serve Emperor Xuanzong in the palace. He was sent as an envoy to pay tribute to the emperor in accordance with the imperial edict of Emperor Xianzong. He saw a thousand Buddhas circling the light of Vairocana on Mount Kong Kong. After returning, he built Hongguangyuan in Xiangshan to worship it, with a thousand Buddhas inside and outside, each sitting on a golden lotus.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Now it has become the headquarters of the Zhenyi Sect."

Li Sun and the other two's eyes lit up when they heard this. Is there such a connection?
The light of a thousand Buddhas circling Vairocana appeared on Mount Vajra!
This legend has been circulated in the imperial court for hundreds of years, and unexpectedly it was verified in the Celestial Empire.

Then you must go and see it.

Sitting in the four-horse carriage on the way to Xiangshan, Li Sun asked curiously, "Ban Shaoyin, you said that Hongguangyuan has become the headquarters of the Jinui Sect. Foreign vassals sincerely worship Buddha, and they know a little about various Buddhist sects, but they have never heard of the Jinui Sect."

Pan Yinglong explained: "The True Meaning Sect, also known as the Buddha True Meaning Cultivation Sangha, originated in the Hexi area of ​​Gansu. It was originally a group of monks who insisted on practicing according to the Buddha's will, but were not tolerated by the Buddhist sect in Guanzhong. They fled to Hexi and met monks who fled eastward from the Western Regions.

The two sides argued for 20 to 30 years, and gradually merged, absorbing some of the Buddhist truths of Vinaya, Zen, and Tantra, strictly observing the precepts, and adhering to the true Buddhist practice, calling themselves the True Meaning Sect.

Li Sun and the other two were extremely surprised. "Is there such a Buddhist monk?"

So I was eagerly looking forward to meeting these unique monks.

Lee Sun and Sim Eui-kyeom, who had just been thinking about visiting the Hanlin Academy, now forgot about the Hanlin Academy.

When they arrived at Xiangshan, they climbed the mountain together and entered Hongguangyuan. Li Sun and the other two worshipped Buddha devoutly, while Pan Yinglong and Shen Wanxiang watched from the side.

Shen Wanxiang asked curiously, "Shao Yin, are you really not going to take them to see the Hanlin Academy?"

Pan Yinglong glanced at Li Sun and the other two who were kneeling with their buttocks sticking out and worshiping different Buddha statues not far away, and curled his lips.

"What are you taking them to see? To see the run-down Hanlin Academy?

After the three major cases in Jiangnan, many famous scholars lamented that the end of the Dharma era had arrived, that orthodox teachings were declining and Neo-Confucianism was declining, and they clamored to cross the sea to the east to pay tribute to the court and Japan in order to preserve the vitality of orthodox teachings and Neo-Confucianism.

Originally, the emperor planned to leave Chaoxian and Dongwo as experimental fields for Neo-Confucianism. But now plans cannot keep up with changes. The Advisory Bureau has already decided on the strategy of Chaoxian and started to promote it. It is not appropriate to use it as an experimental field anymore. "

Shen Wanxiang asked softly: "Experimental field? The kind at the Agricultural Science Institute?"

"more or less."

"What Shao Yin means is that we should not create unnecessary trouble at this critical moment?"

Pan Yinglong nodded approvingly: "Yes, that's what I mean."

After Yi Sun and his two companions worshipped seven Buddha statues, including the Amitabha Buddha in the Main Hall and the statue of Avalokitesvara of Great Compassion in the Great Compassion Hall, they paid homage to the abbot, the Great Monk Beiwu, and listened to him talk about the precepts of the Jinui Sect.

"The first is to keep the precept of not holding money. Monks of this sect are not allowed to touch money, do not accept money as an offering, and do not set up a merit box in the temple, so that the monks can practice with peace of mind.

Secondly, eat only one meal a day and do not eat after the afternoon, except for taking medicines.

The third is to travel and beg for food. "

Lee Sun asked, "Traveling? Master, what does this mean?"

"Walking is practicing asceticism," Monk Beiwu replied. "Monks beg for Buddhist teachings to sustain their wisdom and beg for food to sustain their bodies. According to the Brahma Net Bodhisattva Precepts, the monks of this sect must practice asceticism twice a year in autumn, traveling and walking, teaching and saving people as circumstances dictate."

"Oh, I see. Master, please continue to explain to us."

“You are polite, sir.

The fourth rule of this sect is not to accept gifts from visiting monks. The resident monks do not accept gifts from outside monks. If there are any offerings, they must be handed over to the temple. The deacon of the guest hall should return the gifts to the visiting monks and treat them equally.

Fifth, all offerings belong to the monastery. All the offerings begged by the monks are handed over to the monastic community, and the permanent residents distribute them according to their needs.

Sixth, the three robes and the bowl and the eighteen items must not be separated from the monk. The three robes and the bowl must not be separated from the monk, and the three robes must be of rotten color. The eighteen items are stipulated in the Brahma Net Bodhisattva Precepts, and are the items that monks must carry when they practice asceticism.

Seventh, do not beg for alms or ask for favors from others. Asking for something brings suffering. When you have nothing to ask for, suffering will gradually cease. Strictly follow the principles of practice, do not beg for alms or ask for favors from others, and do not seek favors from others. Only then can the human heart die and the Buddha heart be born.

Eighth, follow the teachings. According to the Buddha's teachings, let go of self-views, eliminate discrimination and attachment, and practice together in harmony. "

Li Sun was stunned. "No alms, no requests? You still keep the vow of not touching money, so what will you do when you travel?"

Monk Bei Wu said, "When you go begging with a bowl, you are not allowed to open your mouth. If the donor is willing to give, then give. If not, then leave. Only ask seven households, and when the number is reached, then go back. The head monk will combine the food that everyone has begged for and divide it equally among the other monks. Those who have more will eat more, those who have less will eat less, and those who have nothing will go hungry."

Lee Sun, Sim Eui-kyeom, and Jung In-hong were deeply moved and sincerely said, "Amitabha."

Pan Yinglong whispered to Shen Wanxiang: "It's a pity that it is precisely because of this observance of the True Meaning Precepts that the spread of the True Meaning Sect is so difficult."

"What does Shao Yin mean by this?"

"People are used to exchange. They burn incense and donate merits, and then they feel at ease and ask the Buddha to bless this and protect that. Therefore, the Buddhist temples in the world are prosperous with incense and merits.

The Zhenyi Sect Buddhist Temple does not accept merits, so how can people believe that the Buddha they worship here will bless them?"

Shen Wanxiang nodded thoughtfully: "That makes sense!"

Li Sun and his two companions wanted to stay in Hongguangyuan for a few nights to immerse themselves in the Buddhist Dharma. Pan Yinglong left a clerk to take care of them and took Shen Wanxiang back to the capital first.

The next morning, at the gate of Shuntian Prefecture Yamen, Pan Yinglong had just gotten out of the carriage when he saw Luan Yongfang coming out from the side and waving at him desperately.

He asked the guards to let him get closer. When he approached, he didn't say a word, stuffed a manuscript into Pan Yinglong's arms, turned around and ran away.

Pan Yinglong held a roll of manuscript in both hands, looking confused.
