Chapter 175: Debunking [1]
"How can the queen be an unlucky person?" Fan Lingshu suddenly turned upright, "Father-in-law An, what do you mean by this?" ”
Although the queen died, she was also born in the Wang family, and among the civil and military officials, there are still many of her clansmen.
The emperor also knew that he couldn't suppress the literati's mouth, so he said, "What question does the empress want to ask me?" ”
Fan Lingshu smiled slightly and said: "The queen wants to ask, when she gave birth to the prince, the emperor Longyan Dayue, not only amnesty the world, but also privately went to the Dajue Temple with the queen to pray for blessings, saying that when His Royal Highness the prince reaches the age of fifteen, he will go to the Dajue Temple to worship and make vows. Now that the fifteen-year period has arrived, the queen is worried about this matter, afraid that the emperor will forget it and make the gods unhappy, so she specially entrusted me with a dream, let me ask the emperor, I don't know if the emperor still remembers this matter? ”
This was just a trivial matter, and it was carried out privately by the emperor and the queen back then, and there was no need to think about it, so the emperor said: "Naturally remember." ”
"That's great, will the emperor go back to Dajue Temple this year to make a vow? The queen must be very happy to know that she is under the spring! Van Lingshu said happily.
The smile on her face was so dazzling that the emperor vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Your Majesty." At this time, a civil official came out.
"What's the matter with Xu Aiqing?" The emperor asked.
Xu Shangshu is the elder brother of the queen's mother's family, and he has always been worried about the queen's sudden fall from grace and violent death, and no one thinks it is wrong for him to stand up and speak.
"Your Majesty, the year the prince was born, the Dajue Temple caught fire, all the Buddha statues, scriptures were all destroyed, the emperor personally ordered the temple to be closed for a thorough investigation, and the cause of the arson must be found, so the Dajue Temple was closed until the second year, and then repaired and reshaped the Buddha's body, and it took three years to complete."
As soon as Xu Shangshu said this, the civil and military officials also nodded, this matter was also a big case back then, and later involved several monks of Dajue Temple, all of whom were beheaded in public.
The emperor's face was a little ugly for a moment, and he glanced at Fan Lingshu coldly.
She blinked, looking innocent, anyway, she only said that it was a dream she had, and the emperor said that he remembered it.
"Maybe I've misremembered the time." After all, the emperor is scheming and unmoved by these doubts, "After so many years, I only remember that the queen is kind and gentle, she said that she wants to pray for blessings, and I should also go to pray for blessings." ”
Hearing his words, Xu Shangshu's complexion changed again.
"I'm afraid the emperor really remembered wrong." Xu Shangshu said, "Our Xu family has been to the Tao for generations, and we don't ask about the Buddha." ”
The Xu family is a medium family in the Xuanyue country, the ancestor of this family is a Taoist priest, specializing in driving away evil spirits and avoiding disasters, and when the war is raging, there is a chance to make a fortune, the ancestors are afraid that the descendants will do this pit and abduction things, so they encourage the children of the clan to study, after two hundred years, many of the children of the Xu family have entered the official career, and gradually have prestige in the court.
After the Xu family grew stronger, they did not forget their roots, and their descendants sought to learn and ask, but they did not worship Buddhism.
In this era when everyone is eager to cultivate immortals, asking questions is also a way for people with no talent to comfort themselves, and not many people find it strange.
But Buddhism and Taoism are separated, and there is no exception in the Xu family.
The false emperor is very indifferent and disgusted with the empress, where will he really understand her?
What is asking for Buddha, it may not be a trivial matter to others, but the Xu family is not trivial to make a fortune by Taoism.
