Danba Thornton took the initiative to ask about these when he heard Longqing. It's right in the middle. said: "Back to Your Majesty." The people in Tibetan areas were indeed living in misery. On the one hand, the natural conditions are harsh. Geography. More but **. The original Tibetan king Rinpumbpa Ngawang Tserzha slandered the Buddha. Don't believe in cause and effect. Ignoring people's livelihood. Put back the clock. Be a blessing. As a result, the lives of the vast number of serfs were embarrassed. Miserable. After Ngawang Ziza's death. His retainer Sinshapa Tseden Dorje took over the business. This person is devoted to the Buddha. Be kind. Many serfs were exempted from taxes. And it encourages childbearing. Development of agriculture and animal husbandry. The poor are provided with food. The vast number of Tibetans are grateful for his kindness. They affectionately called him 'Zangba Khan'. ”

He said as he spoke. Seeing Xu Jie, he slowly shook his head seemingly inadvertently. Suddenly, I realized. Stop here.

Long Qing was condescending. Eyes swept back and forth. He smiled: "I see." It seems that the lama knows a lot about the affairs of Tibetan areas. We have this opportunity to meet today. You have to talk to me. "A beckon. The waiter put a table of wine and food on the table. Dhamba Sandun thanked him.

Long Qing took the lead in raising a glass. Invite him and Baiguan to drink once. He smiled and said, "Guru." The altar on your left. It's called Dongpo Elbow. It was researched and created by Su Dongpo, a great scribe in the Northern Song Dynasty. Excellent flavor. Dongpo laymen are deeply familiar with Buddhism. He was friends with many eminent monks. He created this famous dish. The Guru must taste it. ”

Demba Thornton nodded yes. I took a large piece and put it in my mouth. It feels smooth in the mouth. The taste is fragrant. It's wonderful. Nodding yes again and again.

Chen Yiqin saw Longqing with a smile in his eyes. Know your heart early. At that moment, he suddenly said, "The master is a member of the Buddhist sect. How not to stop meat. ”

Long Qing was shocked. He reproached: "I was negligent for a while. I forgot about it. Grandpa Feng. You don't even warn in advance. Isn't that a big faux pas. Feng Bao hurriedly bowed down to apologize: "Yes." It's all a minion's carelessness. Damn, damn it. ”

It happened suddenly. Demba Thornton looked up at the two of them. The piece of meat in his mouth was half swallowed. Half-sip. I don't know whether to swallow or spit out. Stunned. The officials of the palace who were still praising Dhamba Thornton just now were embarrassed. Silence.

Xu Jie smiled indifferently: "The emperor doesn't know anything. There is no prohibition of meat in Buddhism. It's just that Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, is dedicated to Buddha. Only then did he order the monks to cut off meat and vegetables. Since then, it has spread all over the country. It became a rule unique to Buddhism in Middle-earth. In fact, Shi Zu was begging in the city back then. Eat whatever you want. There will inevitably be meat in it. It is an offering to the beneficial. There is immeasurable merit in it. and how can they cast it away? As long as you don't see what you don't see, you don't hear to kill, you don't kill yourself. That is, the three pure meat. It doesn't hurt to eat it. ”

Demba Thornton was stunned. I also came to my senses. Grunt. I swallowed that half of the meat. Lang Sheng laughed and said: "Xu Ge is very knowledgeable. That's true. Xiao Yan has a heart for Buddha. But I really don't understand the Buddha. All beings are equal. To survive, you have to eat. Eating vegetables and vegetables is to release livestock. Eating poultry and livestock is also for the release of vegetables and vegetables. The sentient root body and the ruthless instrument realm are two and the same. There is no difference between the two. There are 3,000 worlds in a grain of sand. There were 84,000 worms in a bowl of water. If you drop a foot and drink saliva, you don't know how many lives you will kill. I'm sitting still. But between breaths. Killing is all the time. In fact, compassion is only in a moment, in a square inch, in a thought. The Dharma shines brightly. It is great wisdom and wisdom that people cultivate. It is not a detailed article. If you even walk to avoid ants. That's wrong attachment. It's not Mahayana. ”

His voice was clear. Eloquent. It makes sense. Brightly lit. It attracted a lot of approving eyes.

Li Chunfang smiled and praised: "What the elder and the master said. It is truly the words of enlightenment and enlightenment. I think that Emperor Wu of Liang asked Bodhidharma: 'I have built a temple and become a monk all my life. Fasting is almsgiving. What merit? Bodhidharma said, "There is no merit. That's the point. ”

The officials listened. They all looked at each other and nodded. He bowed his hand and said, "The two elders and the master are extremely talented. The solution is wonderful. I can't wait. ”

Long Qing's gaze swept back and forth over the faces of the ministers. In the midst of the praise. Roughly speaking, only Chen Yiqin, Zhang Juzheng, and some military attachés did not speak. Xu Jie's eyebrows did not raise. Li Chunfang was slightly more colorful. calmly accepted the praise of the officials.

He saw this. Eyebrows slightly raised. Haha laughed: "I see." I didn't expect the two Aiqing to be well-educated. He also studied Buddhism. Xu Jie waved his hand obliquely upward: "Don't dare to be." The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have their own wonderful meanings. The old minister is just thinking about the fruit. Involved in some for reference to state affairs. Li Chunfang also smiled and thanked him.

Long Qing said: "Master." from the time you entered the temple. The widow did not introduce you to the name and surname of the family. How do you know that this is Xu Ge Lao? ”

There was silence in the hall.

Danba Santon said with a smile: "The four elders of the Ming Dynasty are all capable ministers of the world. The name of the virtuous is widely spread all over the world. No one knows. No one knows. Xu Jie, Xu Ge is the oldest. Talent is the highest. Of course, the little monk will not admit his mistake. ”

The officials in the hall laughed with relief. Xiang Gu nodded frequently.

Long Qing didn't ask deeply. Look him up and down. Said idly: "The widow looks at the teacher's thin clothes. In the middle of winter. Isn't it too cold? ”

Danba Sandon said: "The little monk has been practicing clumsy fire and kung fu since he was a child. Not afraid of the cold and heat. Long Qing asked with interest, "Oh." I don't know what kind of cold method the Guru can hold. Demba Thornton said very complacently: "Ordinary monks practice clumsy fire. It's nothing more than self-heating. Skip the ordinary. The little monk practiced this kung fu. But it was once hidden in the bitter cold after the deep winter. Seek the frozen river and smash holes. Drill into it. Meditate among the rapids. Seven days and seven nights are set up. Within a radius of ten zhang, the snow melted and the ice melted. This is what he said. It caused a voice of surprise from all the officials. Anyone who knows about Tibetan Buddhism knows it. At that time, Master Milarepa lived on the top of the snow-capped mountains and practiced clumsy fire. It's just a matter of melting the snow and ice on the ground around the house. The cold of the glacier. It is not comparable to the thin snow on the ground? It was to look at Danba Thornton with a look of disbelief. I feel that this matter is very godly.

Li Chunfang said: "I have been waiting for a long time to hear that the master is highly moral. Mana is superb. Now that we're here. Why don't you perform one or two in the temple? Let me wait for a while. ”

Danba Thornton's eyes were smug. Stand up. But I heard Long Qing laugh and said, "Eh." Li Ge is old. I listened to the master talk about the mistake of the Buddha's meat forbidden. Insights. It's refreshing. The Guru is a great monk. Let him perform those idle games. It is like seeing it as a companion in the market. It's really disrespectful. Or treat them with courtesy. Let him and I feast together. ”

Li Chunfang said yes. Demba Thornton was eager to try. Now stand in the center of the temple and sweep left and right. It feels awkward. However, the other party is out of respect for himself. You can't force the performance anymore. I had to give a little salute. Take your seat.

Long Qing had a brief conversation with the palace maid beside him. The palace maid bowed her head and retreated. It's not too late. Bring a plate of tofu and a pot of green tea and put them on the table of Dampa Thornton. He withdrew the original wine. Long Qing smiled and said, "Although the master can't help eating meat. But according to the rules of the Central Plains. We always have to be rude first. Make up this plate of white jade tofu. I guess I want to make amends for my teacher's sins. ”

Danba Thornton smiled, "Your Majesty, why should you be like this. The little monk thanked him. Natenten thanked him. He had no appetite for tofu. I saw Long Qing looking at himself. I symbolically took a spoonful and tasted it. I didn't expect this tofu to be tender and fresh. There is also a cyan sandwich inside. The taste is far better than that of Dongpo elbow. I couldn't help but eat a few more spoonfuls.

The palace maid retreated to the Zichen platform. Long Qing raised his glass again. Su Rong said: "Ladies and gentlemen. This year, Wang Chonggu sent troops to attack the Hetao. Make the counter-meter. In one fell swoop, he defeated the vice-king of the Jacket Dusi. Make the barbarians terrifying. Warat shrinks. It has greatly raised the prestige of my Celestial Empire. The Tatar Tumut tribe led 100,000 elite soldiers to commit Datong. It is also close to the city. To no avail. We can sing and dance here today and enjoy all the peace. It is really thanks to the soldiers of the Nine Sides who sacrificed their lives and bloodshed. I've sent out the year-end bounty before. Distributed everywhere. Yet they slept day and night. After all, you can't sit at the same table with me. Today, today. Should you and my ministers give them a cup here? ”

Zhang Juzheng is in the cabinet to the main military. It was heartening to hear that. Raised his glass and said: "The emperor cares about the frontier. Be compassionate. Both the military and the civilian population are grateful for the grace of God. All the officials raised their glasses in response: "The emperor is sage." ”

Long Qing raised his head and drank it all. Wait for the ministers to drink this round and put it aside. He laughed: "The family may not know yet. A hero who made great contributions in the Great Battle. Today is also at the feast. "Speaking of which, look around the ministers. Look at everyone's reactions.

Chang Sihao's heart jumped. I felt that the blood all over my body was flowing faster. He sat in the front seat. The ministers have been talking about this unfamiliar face for a long time. At this moment, they all focused their eyes.

Long Qing said: "This hero's name is Chang Sihao. He assisted the army in defending Datong. Kill the Tartar and let the flowers fall into the water. Tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated. The story has spread all over the world. Presumably all the secretaries are already familiar with it. After he came to Beijing. and stabbed several petty treacherous plots. Saved my ride. I hit him off at first sight. The conversation was very deed-worthy. He has already recognized him as a royal brother. Brother Chang. Stand up. Let's see. ”

The hall was unusually quiet. Chang Sihao has never been praised in front of so many people. And the person who praised it is the current emperor. After all, identity is different. Listen to him call to himself at this moment. Hurriedly answered.

He was originally tall. The strong muscles support every part of the body in the body full and shaped. One stop there, black and strong, majestic, majestic. Most of the palace ministers are weak ministers. And then there are some eunuch servants. I've never seen such a masculine character. As he stood up. Eyes raised in unison. I felt that there was a tall tower emerging from the earth in front of me. There is a tendency to support the clouds. A strong, primitive, awe involuntarily arises in my heart.

Long Qing said to the ministers: "If there is impermanence, Aiqing jumps into the city at night. Sacrifice your life to blow up the corpses. Defend the city. and a surprise army led a hundred horsemen to charge the camp. Drive the herd to break the village. Repel Ala. I'm afraid that this year, the Jingshi will repeat the dilemma of the siege of Gengxu. With more than 100 riders. Defeat tens of thousands of enemy soldiers. But it's not easy. ”

The officials looked at each other and nodded.

Long Qing paused. He added: "I have also read some military books and war strategies. Know that war is fought with money and food. However, Wei Wu was running out of food in Guandu. But it can break Yuan Shao's 100,000 people. You Aiqing can know why. ”

His gaze slowly swept over the faces of the ministers. All the officials bowed their heads. Secretly worried. I'm afraid that I will answer the question by clicking on my head. Danba Thornton heard a little bit of an eyebrow. There was a look of nonchalance on his face. The emperor didn't stop talking. Scoop the tofu spoonful. Eat very leisurely.

Long Qing's gaze fell on one point: "Yuan Jing." Let's talk about it. How many people does your Qi family army have? ”

Qi Jiguang hurriedly got up and replied, "Go back to the emperor." Three thousand of his subordinates. ”

Long Qing nodded. He paced two steps before standing up and said, "Can you hear me clearly?" Three thousand. Lord Qi only had 3,000 people. Why did the Ping Wai win all battles. I thought. And not just because his subordinates are diligent in training. The style is tenacious. What's more, they are highly disciplined. It is said that the people are afraid of officials. Why is the Qi family army everywhere. But it was welcomed by the sandwich. That's because. Victory requires more than just military morale. We need the will of the people even more. ”

He's in a high position. I let go of the volume again. These words came out sonorously and forcefully. The sound waves spread and reverberated back and forth in the temple. Echo humming. Shocking.

The officials listened to the emperor's words passionately. They are also infected with awe. Unanimous remark yes.

Demba Thornton is located near the entrance of the temple. It's the place where the sound waves reverberate. When it reaches the ear, it is several times louder. The shock made his face change a little. If it weren't for the fact that Longqing was known to be the son of tomorrow. Just listen to the voice. I almost want to treat him as a martial arts master.

I only heard Long Qingdao: "Chang Aiqing is one of the tens of millions of people in Shanxi. When the Tatar soldiers were approaching the city. He stepped forward. Why others don't. I thought. There is more than one Chang Sihao in the world. The reason why they didn't come forward. It's that I, the emperor, didn't do a good job. It's your officials who haven't done a good job. It was the person who was supposed to be a parent official for the people who became the grandfather of the people instead. The ancestors of the people. ”

The officials saw that he was solemn. All of them were frightened. Silenced in horror.
