Chapter 135: Public Relations of Tongtai Temple
"Lord Zhu, you let the poor monk teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, also to gain His Majesty's favor, right?" The abbot of Tongtai Temple said with a smile.
"The abbot is really fast-talking! That's what this official is all about. His Majesty now believes in Buddhism, although he has not yet abandoned the Confucian approach to statecraft. However, as long as the abbot can slowly influence His Majesty, in time, His Majesty will definitely make Buddhism the mainstream thought of the Liang Kingdom! Zhu Yi said.
"Is Your Majesty really so much of a Buddhist? Why don't the poor monks believe it? The abbot of Tongtai Temple said. He thought to himself: If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and even His Majesty can respect Buddhism, our Tongtai Temple must be the first temple in Liangguo.
Besides, the situation on the Wei side.
Yuan Xian had already sent Hosaku to spy on Er Zhurong.
"Erzhurong has been aggressively expanding his army again! If he continues, the emperor of Wei will definitely get rid of him for treason! "Said Hasakuka.
He thought to himself: If only he could get rid of Erzhurong. This time, you will definitely be able to get a promotion and a salary increase, and you will go to the peak of your life in one fell swoop!
"Not necessarily! Er Zhurong is now about to marry the princess. If we can't get rid of him. In the future, he will be a colt master. We're in for it! "Said in detail.
"Don't worry, Er Zhurong doesn't know about our existence at all! As long as we find evidence of his private expansion, we will be fine! Moreover, maybe you can even pay homage to the prime minister! "Said Hasakuka.
"You still underestimate Er Zhurong too much! He has people. And Erzhurong is not so simple! "Said in detail.
At this time, Er Zhurong was looking at the map. He said to Yuwen Luosheng: "The Wei court has made peace with Rouran, and they are about to be disarmed on a large scale. You have already caused public outrage! You have to be careful! Brother Yuwen Luosheng! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty's conspiracy! In order to suppress our Erzhu family, Your Majesty did this! Now, I'm a well-known lackey of Six Towns! Yuwen Luosheng cried.
"That's right. This is the real purpose of His Majesty. It is to let the stench last for 10,000 years. Er Zhurong said angrily.
"So, what do we do now? What can we do to make His Majesty change his mind? Your Majesty seems to be suspicious of us. Yuwen Luosheng worried.
"Don't be afraid, I have a way to make His Majesty dispel his concerns!" Er Zhurong said with great ambition.
"What's the solution?" Yuwen Luosheng asked curiously.
Er Zhurong leaned into Yuwen Luosheng's ear and said something.
Yuwen Luosheng was pleasantly surprised: "Yes." You're still smart! ”
Besides, Liang Guo's side of the matter!
Xiao Yan, the emperor of Liang, was reading the Diamond Sutra recently, and he was a little displeased.
The eunuch Xiao Yunzi was quite displeased when he saw him, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"No, I just think Kumarosh's translation is too inaccurate!" Xiao Yan said.
"Your Majesty, there are so many temples in our Liang Kingdom. There are many monks! Can't you find someone else to translate it yet? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi asked.
"You don't understand. Others mostly don't like translation. Now the only person who can translate the "Diamond Sutra" is the abbot of Tongtai Temple! It's a pity that he is indifferent to fame and fortune! Xiao Yan said helplessly.
He thought to himself, "When I was in the 21st century, I liked to worship Buddha." However, I never saw those monks.
"Your Majesty, people are high-ranking monks, and they need to come to the door to invite them, so they will come!" The eunuch Xiao Yunzi said without thinking.
When Xiao Yan heard this, his face instantly turned iron-blue.
He said angrily, "No way. I am the Son of Heaven, how can I deign to invite monks? ”
"Really? Your Majesty, after all, they are high monks! They are proficient in Buddhism. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Really? Proficient in the Dharma? I haven't seen it, who knows? Xiao Yan said unhappily.
"Your Majesty. The abbot of Tongtai Temple does have Dharma. Otherwise, how could Concubine Ding let him be the teacher of His Royal Highness the Prince? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
When Xiao Yan heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
He thought to himself: How is that possible? Although Ding Guifei believes in Buddhism, how can she invite the abbot of Tongtai Temple to teach the prince?
"Are you sure? The abbot of Tongtai Temple has such a big shelf, Ding Guifei can actually invite him. Incredible! Xiao Yan couldn't help but wonder.
"Your Majesty, it wasn't Ding Guifei who invited me. It was Lord Zhu Yi who went. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
When Xiao Yan heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he thought: How is it possible? I sent people to invite him before, but they couldn't come. Why did he enter the palace as soon as Zhu Yi went?
Could it be that Zhu Yi gave the abbot of Tongtai Temple any gold and silver jewelry? Or did he grab the abbot with some handle?
Xiao Yan said angrily: "Could it be that his Zhu Yi's face is bigger than mine?" Am I not as good as him as a prince and a princess? ”
"Your Majesty, this is not the case. Lord Zhu Yi may have impressed the abbot with his pious attitude. The abbots also did not value the status of the benefactors. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Really? In that case, why did he come to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Isn't it greedy for royal glory and wealth? Xiao Yan said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, not necessarily! The abbot of Tongtai Monastery may have just been promoting his Dharma. Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"That's not right. How do you know so much about the situation at Tongtai Temple? Xiao Yan stared at the eunuch Xiao Yunzi and asked.
"Your Majesty, the slave just listened to the people in the harem!" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Harem? Unexpectedly, Concubine Ding Guifei is not good at commanding the harem on weekdays. What a mess of so many crooked things! Xiao Yan said angrily.
Besides, the situation on the side of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"Lord Yuan, the villain has found the definitive evidence of Er Zhurong's rebellion. Er Zhurong has indeed rebelled! "Said Hasakuka.
"Rebellion! It's true? What evidence did you find? Yuan Xun asked.
"Er Zhurong actually colluded with Liang Guo. also received Xiao Yan's gold and silver jewelry, the beauty of Jiangnan! "Said in detail.
"Could it be that Er Zhurong really rebelled? That's great! Yuan Xun said.
"Really. The villain has already discovered that he has rebelled with Yuwen Luosheng! They have already decided to overthrow Wei and be Xiao Yan's lackeys! "Said Hasakuka.
Yuan Xun asked, "So do you have any evidence?" You need to get the stolen goods! ”
"There are, for example, the letters of collusion between Er Zhurong and Xiao Yan. We've got it! "Said Hasakuka.
"Really? Epistle? Yuan Xian suddenly felt like a treasure.
He thought to himself: How is that possible? Such favorable evidence can be easily intercepted! Er Zhurong is really careless!
"My lord, look at this!" He took out an epistle.
Yuan Xun opened it and looked at it, and it read: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liang, Chener Zhu Rong has long been naturalized!" I hope that I can unite with Your Majesty to destroy the Wei State, dominate the world, and save all the people! ”
"This is indeed Er Zhurong's handwriting! Could it be that Er Zhurong really rebelled? If that's the case, we can get rid of him! Yuan Xian was so happy that he actually sweated!
