Chapter 311: The misunderstanding between Hui Niang and Bodhidharma
"Your Majesty, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a villa outside the palace. It's Hui Niang inside! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Really? So did Hui Niang give birth? Xiao Yan asked!
"Nope. Not yet! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"That's it! So, isn't it good for Bodhidharma, as a monk, to appear there? Xiao Yan asked.
"Not so good? You're thinking too much. How so? Venerable Bodhidharma is a monk! What's wrong with the monks? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"I'm worried, if the matter gets out, I'm afraid there will be criticism!" Xiao Yan said.
"But Venerable Bodhidharma is just a monk! How so? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"What's wrong with the monks? Monks can also cause trouble to our Liang Guo Palace! Xiao Yan worried!
"Woe to the palace, Your Majesty, are you thinking too much?" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"No! Is a monk necessarily reliable? Xiao Yan worried!
"What can a monk do?" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"If the monk rises up, it is also very terrifying!" Xiao Yan said.
"Really? Truly. But how could Master Bodhidharma be that kind of monk? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Yes. He is a very thoughtful monk! Xiao Yan said.
"Will a very thoughtful rebel? What kind of logic is this? Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"What logic? Isn't it! The more thoughts, the more reactionary they become! Xiao Yan said.
"Your Majesty, isn't that a bit extreme?" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"No! That's how the people are! You can't let them have too much knowledge! Otherwise, they will rebel! Xiao Yan said.
"Your Majesty, it's serious! The people have learned the etiquette, it should be easier to educate, right! Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"Easier to educate? Is it? Why don't I think so? Xiao Yan said.
He thought to himself: How could the people be more easily educated?
I am afraid that the people who have ideas have long thrown their love for Liang Guo out of the clouds!
"It's easy to educate!" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
"How can it be easy? The most people who have no education want to have food and clothing is at most. Cultured people hope for more than just food and clothing! They also have spiritual needs! Xiao Yan said.
"yes!" Eunuch Xiao Yunzi said.
He remembered something about the crown prince Xiao Tong:
The crown prince Xiao Tong was still in the palace and copied Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface" with Zhang Sengqiu.
"Your Highness, have you heard? Venerable Bodhidharma, a high monk in South India, has arrived in our Liang country! He's a saint of South India! Zhang Seng said.
I saw Xiao Tong sitting precariously with a haggard face!
He slowly raised his head and asked, "Lone has heard of Master Bodhidharma. He is a famous Zen master in South India! This man was also the uncle of the dissident king. It turned out to be the third son of King Xiangzhi. King Xiangzhi originally wanted to pass it on to him. It's a pity that he became a monk! Actually, it's not bad to be a monk, it's better than being this dispensable prince! ”
"Your Highness! Don't give up on yourself! Your Majesty is very suspicious though. Beware of your Royal Highness the Crown Prince everywhere. But he's not that kind of person! Your Majesty still has high hopes for you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you must not give up on yourself! Zhang Seng said.
He thought to himself: Your Majesty is now in his fifties, almost sixty years old. But Your Majesty has no intention of giving the Zen throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at all!
If this continues, the court of the Liang State may be prone to chaos!
"Your Majesty is very wise and martial. Lonely less than one ten-thousandth of His Majesty! Therefore, His Majesty has always been very disgusted with Lonely. He felt that the Son was not like the Father. Speaking of this, Xiao Tong couldn't help but burst into tears.
He thought to himself: What to do? Your Majesty doesn't like me at all!
"It's not your fault! His Royal Highness the Prince. Besides, Your Majesty is a promising king! Everything he can do, he wants to do to the limit! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not experienced so many things of His Majesty, so naturally he has no experience of His Majesty! Zhang Seng said.
He thought to himself: If this continues, I'm afraid there will be civil strife in our Liang Kingdom!
Sooner or later, the princely faction and the emperor's faction will become tense! His Majesty has been on the throne for more than twenty years.
His Majesty must be worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will seize power.
He is a benevolent monarch on the surface, but he is a tyrant in his bones!
So, what should Lone do? There are many sons of the emperor today. If his father had always disliked Lone, he would inevitably have moved his mind to change the crown prince! Xiao Tong worried.
His eyes became hollow.
He thought to himself: Will his father kill Gu? When my father slaughtered the children of the Qi family of the previous dynasty, he was very cruel! From the eighty-year-old lady to the infant baby, they were all put to death!
What to do? Will my father kill Lone? Will you kill Lonely?
"Your Highness the Prince. Don't worry, you won't! Our Majesty still trusts Your Highness very much, and he will not kill Your Highness! Moreover, he has no intention of deposing His Highness! Zhang Seng said.
"How so?" Xiao Tong asked.
"Your Majesty knows that the crown prince is the capital of the country! It can't be easily deposed. However, Your Majesty is very uneasy about you. So His Majesty's heart is still very conflicted. Your Highness needs to behave well and let Your Majesty know what you are capable of! Zhang Seng said.
"But my father didn't let Lone do anything. How can Lone let his father see the ability? Xiao Tong cried bitterly.
"Your Highness! Don't worry! Hasn't Master Bodhidharma come to our Liang country now? Your Highness can welcome him! Zhang Seng said.
He thought to himself: If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can welcome Master Bodhidharma, it will be a great achievement!
"Really? The question is, where is Venerable Bodhidharma? How could Lone find him? Xiao Tong cried.
He thought to himself: Loneliness is also more than enough and not enough! Over the years, my father's trust in other princes has been greater than that of Gu.
The father even gave the seventh prince Xiao the right to the army.
And what about Lone? Nothing!
"Your Highness, Wechen has already found out the whereabouts of Master Bodhidharma!" Zhang Seng said.
He thought to himself: Venerable Bodhidharma and Chen Qingzhi are together. And they are at Hui Niang's residence.
Hui Niang is the outer chamber of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just in time to visit!
"Where is Venerable Bodhidharma now?" Prince Xiao Tong asked.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Master Bodhidharma is now at Hui Niang's! Chen Qingzhi took him there! Zhang Seng said.
"Oh. Chen Qingzhi is really intimate! He was originally a supporter of Lone! actually let Gu get Master Bodhidharma! That's great! Xiao Tong smiled.
He thought to himself: It seems that we still have hope! Lone can still do something to make his father happy!
If the father knew that Lone welcomed Dharma, Lone would be a great achievement! Ha ha......
"Master Bodhidharma, I am the prince of Liang Kingdom!" Xiao Tong said.
"Really? Look up for a long time! Master Bodhidharma smiled.
He thought to himself: The prince of Liang Guo is completely not as high as His Royal Highness!
He is indeed a kind-hearted and approachable His Royal Highness the Prince!
"Master Bodhidharma, do you want to see my father as soon as possible and let you preach in our Liang Kingdom?" Prince Xiao Tong said.
"yes!" Venerable Bodhidharma replied.
He thought to himself: What's so hard about this? Isn't it just a matter of His Majesty the Emperor of Liang's words?
"But......" Xiao Tong seems to have something unspeakable......
"What's wrong?" Venerable Bodhidharma asked!
"Our Liang Kingdom court has a rule!" Xiao Tong said cautiously.
He thought to himself: If Lone was telling the truth, would Venerable Bodhidharma be angry?
"What is it? Do you need to hold an official position or donate money? Venerable Bodhidharma asked.
"It's not ......," Xiao Tong said.
His tone was even more blunt!
"So what the hell is it?" Bodhidharma was puzzled.
He thought to himself: What strange regulations will Liang Guo have? Isn't it some strange rule?
"Need to be punished!" Xiao Tong said.
