Chapter 25 Chapter Seven Monk Wang Faming

After returning to the city, Wan Renyu led Longying to the Zhenguan Bank in Nanshi, and exchanged one tael for more than six hundred Kaiyuan Tongbao. Tongbao is one tael of silver, and six hundred Tongbao is sixty taels, which is considered a small fortune. Since Tang Gaozu Wude issued Kaiyuan Tongbao in four years, it ended the situation where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ruled the world with five baht coins, and gradually replaced the situation where silk and grain were used as physical coins, coupled with the development of the commodity economy and the implementation of the two tax laws, Especially in cities with prosperous commerce, coins are in full circulation.Money accounts such as Zhenguan Bank, which accept private or firm money deposits and issue credit loans, are also commonly known as flying money businesses, and thus emerged as the times require.

Longying's waist was swollen, she was full of spirits, insisted on being the host, and Wan Renyu found a noodle shop at random, ordered a bowl of barley noodles each, and munched happily. Wan Renyu said: "If Jing Zhongyue didn't burst out the yellow light on my hand, what would Brother Long do?" While eating the noodles, Long Ying replied vaguely: It's very simple, immediately killed Brother Wan with several knives so that he knelt down and begged for mercy, and then took back the precious saber. The two looked at each other and laughed loudly at the same time, which was eye-catching.

Wan Renyu gasped and said: I haven't been this happy for a long time, not only because I got the knife, but also because I gave it to you, a strange person.His grandma's!If someone tells me that someone in the world can send Jing Zhongyue away at will, Wan will be the first to not believe it. Longying asked: "Where are you going, brother Wan after eating the noodles?" Wan Renyu drank the noodle soup he was holding until there was no drop left, put down the big bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said: "Go play chess!" Long Ying said in astonishment: Didn't you just play chess yesterday?He must have lost chicken feathers and duck blood, but today he went to seek humiliation again.

Wan Renyu laughed and said: "Today I'm still going to play yesterday's chess game, because halfway through yesterday's game, the clock was ringing, and my wife went home to sleep."This game is most likely the one I lost the least, how can I give up halfway.Hey!Anyway, I paid ten taels of silver, how about letting you play chess for me? Thinking of the fat father-in-law, Long Ying shook his head and said: "Little brother still has some things to do." Wan Renyu said: Do you think the little witch is beautiful? Long Ying said: Anyone who is not a blind person should know that she is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she is too fond of playing tricks, thinking of her makes her a headache.What does this have to do with playing chess?

Wan Renyu said happily: Of course it has a lot to do with it.The little witch is gorgeous in Luoyang, and Mrs. Mengdie is gorgeous in the world.think about it!Don't you want to see the difference with your own eyes? Long Ying scolded: Good guy!How dare you seduce me with your beauty. Then he said with an itchy heart: Can we do it tomorrow? Wan Renyu said: Of course, the chess meeting will be held for three consecutive days, as long as I don't touch the chessboard today, I can complete the unfinished game tomorrow. Long Ying said: So what if you win? This time it was Wan Renyu's turn to laugh and scold: If you win, you can get back ten taels, what else do you want?Is it possible to use ten taels of silver to spend a night of lingering with a great beauty?

Long Ying raised his hands in surrender, agreed on the time and place tomorrow, and went separately. Long Ying was clever, he checked the guards first when he arrived in Miyagi, as he expected, Fat Eunuch went to Shangyang Palace to arrange the state banquet to be held in Guanfeng Palace tonight. Returning to Shangyang Palace, he was shocked by the situation when he entered the destination. Hundreds of mule carts carrying all kinds of supplies were parked on Guanfeng Square, and thousands of eunuchs and maids kept coming in and out of the palace. The father-in-law just left and disappeared.

Long Ying's heart moved, and he hurried back to Gan Tang Yuan, and sure enough, the fat father-in-law was waiting for him in the lobby. He first described the events of the past two days in detail. When he said that Renya was most likely identified by Wu Zhao as the reincarnated daughter, and Wu Zhao had seen through their relationship, the fat father-in-law remained calm as always, but When he told Yang Tong Leng to clean up the house, the fat father-in-law turned his face and changed his face, which made him puzzled and asked: Is this matter so important? Fat Eunuch said: Continue talking.

Long Ying then told Zhang Jianzhi the ins and outs of his inquiry about Yan Fei, and said: If the legend of Bianhuang is true, it is impossible for Xiang Yutian to have lived for at least two hundred years. Fat Eunuch let out a breath and said: The current situation is more complicated than you can imagine. Wu Zhao's country is not as stable as a rock as we imagined, it is full of undercurrents and torrents.Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it, which is unexpected. Longying wondered, "Why did my father-in-law say that?" Fat Gonggong said: You don’t think it’s the same thing to kill the little Buddha with a cold tongue, because you don’t understand the monk Wang Faming, and you don’t understand his relationship with Wu Zhao.

Long Ying listened attentively, the more he knew the situation, the more he could understand his own situation. The fat father-in-law continued: Faming’s emergence is a legend. He voluntarily ordained and entered the Jingnian Temple as a monk. Kung Fu Dharma is close to that of the abbot at that time, Master Dujie.When Dujie passed away, Faming became the abbot of Jingnian Temple at the age of thirty-three, becoming the youngest abbot in the history of the temple, and ranked first among the monks in the world. Long Ying asked in surprise: Is Jingnian Temple so prestigious? Fat Eunuch Gongdao: Jingnian Temple and Cihang Jingzhai have always been known as the two major Buddhist temples in the world. The battle between Sanren Ning Daoqi and Tiandao Song Que was held in the temple. This battle dominated the development of the political situation in the early Tang Dynasty.Buddhism has always been loosely organized. Although Jingnian Temple has a high status, it has only symbolic meaning but no real influence. Besides, outsiders don't care about worldly affairs. Although Buddhism's influence is widespread in the world, it never interferes with government affairs. With Zhao's hand in hand, it was completely reversed.

The fat father-in-law suddenly said: What association do you have? Long Ying gasped, and said: Could it be that Fa Ming is actually a member of the Demon Sect? Fat Eunuch smiled wryly and said, "I don't know, but it's extremely possible. I've been skeptical, but I'm not sure. When Fa Ming ordered Yang Tong Leng to execute Little Buddha, I woke up like a dream. The relationship between Fa Ming and Wu Zhao It's my relationship with Wu Zhao. Longying said: I still don't understand. Fat Eunuch Gongdao: Because you don’t understand Fa Ming’s role in Wu Zhao’s ascension to the throne.After Fa Ming was promoted to the abbot of Jingnian Temple, he went to the Eastern Wei Temple in Luoyang to give a lecture on the Buddha's birthday. At that time, including Wu Zhao, important ministers and generals in the court and all the royal family of the Tang Dynasty were present, listening to this great virtuous monk. His first practice.

Longying beat the case and exclaimed: "Understood!"This is to clear the way for Wu Zhao's ascension to the throne. The fat father-in-law was obviously one of the listeners, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and he said slowly: "Faming is talking about a passage in the "Da Fang Waiting for Wuxiang Dayun Jing": At that time, there was a woman named Jing in the audience. Light.The Buddha said to Jingguang Tiannv: You have heard the Great Nirvana Sutra from that Buddha for a while.Because of the fate, today I get the heavenly body.When I was born, I heard the profound meaning again.The house is the shape of the sky, that is, the body of a woman, as the kingdom of land, has a quarter of the command of the wheel-turning king.At that time, you were indeed a Bodhisattva.In order to transform sentient beings, I now love the female body.At that time, all the ministers entrusted this woman as the heir to the king.The woman is both upright and mighty in the world.In Jambudvipa, all lands are to be honored, and there is no one who refuses to violate them.If you are a queen, you will be a Buddha in the future. Thinking of Li Junxian's unjust case, Long Ying immediately felt his scalp go numb, and said: Is there such a story in the scriptures? Fat Mr. Gong said: Of course it is true. Since Wu Zhao and Fa Ming have never had any contact with each other, this statement is like throwing a huge boulder in a pool that is as flat as a mirror, causing a sensation in everyone.At this time, Wu Zhao has concentrated power in one body, and is personally involved in political affairs. The nominal emperor Li Dan has been thrown out of power.Faming sent people to present four volumes of "Dayun Jing" to Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao took advantage of the situation and granted Faming the title of Monk King to lead all monks in the world. The Dayun Sutra, and ordered the eminent monks to compose and explain the Sutra, so as to build momentum for her enthronement in the future. Long Ying sighed: This move is really unique. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have always been the main force for those who oppose the Demon Sect. Now that one of the three has won, and then the righteous martial arts will be brought under the flag with the demon-fighting method, how can there be enough in the world? Antagonizing power? Fat Gonggong said: Since the introduction of Buddhism in the Eastern Han Dynasty, through the development of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism has become more prosperous and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are a large number of believers in every class. Therefore, Faming's support played a key role in Wu Zhao's ascension to the throne. .Under Wu Zhao's will, Fa Ming, the new monk king, went on a nationwide tour to preach, which also made his influence grow day by day. It provoked five old Buddhist monks called holy monks to fight back together to persecute Fa Ming. The title of Monk King of Mingshe, returned to Jingnian Temple to reflect on his mistakes, turned into a decisive battle at the highest level of Buddhism, no one knew the process, only known that the five great monks passed away within a hundred days after returning to the temple, we can see that Faming's battle was great Winning a complete victory also pushed him to the throne of the number one expert in the Buddhist sect. Since then, no one in the Buddhist sect has dared to openly oppose him. Continued: Since then, Faming's support for Wu Zhao has changed from covert to explicit. Not only did he send four disciples of Fajia to join the demon squad, but he also stated on the table that Wu Zhao, the queen mother, was born of Maitreya Buddha. On behalf of Buddhism, she was invited to be the emperor.well!Houhou is really amazing, only her wisdom and courage can conceive such a grand plan for the empress to seize power, it is flawless and amazing. Long Ying lost his voice and said: Wu Zhao's master is actually Wan Wan! Houhou is a mythical figure of the Demon Gate, fought back and forth with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and was never at a disadvantage. In the end, although she fell short, the Demon Gate was able to preserve its vitality thanks to her, and the entire army was not wiped out. Also lost beautifully. Fat Eunuch said: I am a chess piece distributed in the palace, and Faming is a chess piece distributed in Buddhism.It is easy for Wu Zhao to kill me, but it is not easy to kill Fa Ming, especially since Fa Ming is also the head of the Demon and Buddha family, Wu Zhao may be able to beat him, but it is very difficult to kill him. , there are many capable people under his command, and Wu Zhao can't send his army to attack Jingnian Temple, so although the two are wrestling secretly, they are still harmonious and support each other on the surface. Longying said: How do the two wrestle? Fat Gong said: Their wrestling began when Fa Ming appointed the fake monk Xue Huaiyi as the abbot of the White Horse Temple with the legal power of the monk king, forcing Wu Zhao to agree to the appointment after the fact. The subtleties can be imagined.At this time, the forces opposing Faming in Buddhism were almost completely wiped out, and no one dared to say anything. Now Cihang Jingzhai had no choice but to send Duanmu Ling out to see if he could recover. This was Faming's original intention of appointing Xue Huaiyi .Faming is a very charismatic person. If Duanmu Ling can be subdued and made a target for him to practice Huanxi Zen, not only will he be able to make a breakthrough in Zen, Cihang Jingzhai will definitely lose his reputation, and the Baidao Martial Arts may fall into a slump after losing their spiritual leader. .Fa Ming's ambition is not inferior to Wu Zhao's. Long Ying gasped again, and finally understood the reason why Wu Zhao allowed him to transfer Jing Zhongyue to Wan Renyu, because Wu Zhao's urgent need was no longer a matter of the heir to the emperor, or even the "Taoism" that was far away from the fire. "The Great Law of Heart-Planting Devil", but to deal with Fa Ming's threat.It is conceivable that if something goes wrong in the world, for example, Wu Chengsi replaces Li Dan as the prince, and Faming revolts, the resulting variables are unpredictable. The fat father-in-law said happily: You kid is at the right time. Your appearance broke the balance of power confrontation between Wu Zhao and Fa Ming. Longying smiled wryly and said: I actually have such a big influence? Fat Eunuch said: Just think about it!What would happen if Wu Zhao and Fa Ming had Xiang Yutian in the middle?If I were either side, I would try my best to win you over. Since Fa Ming couldn't kill you, he had to use a strategy of delaying the attack, killing people to silence you, so that you can't trace the identity of his mastermind from the little Buddha.If one day you can get rid of Faming, it won't be a problem if you ask Wu Zhao to marry Princess Taiping to you. Long Ying sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm not blessed to endure this." Fat Gonggong said: Fa Ming can be said to be invincible to everyone now, including Wu Zhao, and you have become her surprise soldier, which directly benefits me.That's why she promised you a person because she wanted you to have no dissent.The whole situation is complicated, and the only way is to walk step by step, cross the river by feeling the stones, and adapt to the situation.If you stand firmly on Wu Zhao's front, Li Tang's world will still have a chance of survival. If Fa Ming and Wu Zhao replace you, the world will be different. Long Ying said dejectedly: If Fa Ming were to reveal my identity as the evil emperor, he would be able to deal with me without hitting him at all. The fat father-in-law said unhappily: Don't underestimate yourself, who didn't know that Xiang Yutian was the evil emperor back then, but he lived to be two hundred years old and still had a good life, and he didn't see Bai Dao martial arts dare to provoke him, Ning Daoqi waited for someone to see Seeing that he is not polite, as long as Wu Zhao does not mobilize the power of the court to deal with you, and you have no bad deeds, who in the world has the right to do anything to you?If Fa Ming uses this tactic to deal with you, he must be at a dead end, so he has no choice but to make a bad move. He said again: I have to rush back to Guanfeng Palace to see if there is anything wrong with my subordinate Erlang, and I will talk to you again tomorrow when I have a chance.I should be at Shangshi Kitchen most of the day, and at Omiya Prison at night.Remember that Renya is something everyone desires, and she must be well protected. Say that and leave. The three girls couldn't help laughing, and they bent their waists, laughing the loudest with Qiao Renya. Longying said awkwardly: Is it ugly? Lili panted: It's not ugly, but ugly, making our husband look like a juggler. Xiuqing said: "It's unnatural, but there's nothing I can do about it!"This set of costumes for attending the state banquet was sent by the ceremonial staff, and there is only one set. Renya smiled and stepped on her feet and said: Sister Li, Sister Qing!How can we let my husband make a fool of himself in public, let's find a way! Seeing people's elegant and anxious state, Long Ying took his mind and understood the reason. This dress itself is not ugly, it is a court banquet suit for princes and above three ranks, it is dressed in silk and purple gown, court crown made of deerskin, curved collar square heart, crimson gauze knees, bird skin shoes, leather belt gold Hook plaice. The problem was with him. When he faced the women, he immediately changed back to his rascal appearance, besotted and wooed, until he wore a solemn official uniform, what better way to describe it than wearing a monkey and wearing a crown? Long Ying raised his index finger and said: Don't worry about the three wives, Shanren has his own tricks. Renya said angrily, "Thank you for being in the mood to joke around, I'm dying of anxiety." Lili and Xiuqing looked in disbelief. Longying smiled and said: I can do tricks. Turning around slowly, taking a deep breath, the magic power circulated for a week, and then turned back to face the three women. Renya was the first to cry out. Lili and Xiuqing were dumbfounded. In fact, they have never seen Longying like this before. His eyes are shining with magic lights, deep and unfathomable. A person, so that they have no time to pay attention to whether he is not dressed properly. From the corner of Long Ying's mouth floated a smile that seemed to be able to see everything and look down on all living beings in the world, and shouted: "Three little girls, get me over here, so that I can have fun with you." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed back to the original rascal. The three women were still dumbfounded, not believing the changes that had just appeared on Longying. Ren Ya put his body into his arms, and said in disbelief: Master Ying has no time for fun, so he came here to provoke others. Lili and Xiuqing yelled in disbelief. Long Ying apologized: "It's my fault, I overexpressed it."ha!It's been a long night, and tomorrow I can go to the Imperial Study to start work later, to ensure that the three wives are satisfied and happy. Renya was willing to let him go. Long Ying said: Who will take care of me to take a bath and change clothes tonight? Renya pointed to the tip of her nose and made a cute little grimace at him. Long Ying's heart screamed fiercely, she naturally had an innocent demeanor, which surpassed Princess Taiping's charm by more than a notch. After making intimacy one by one, they summoned up their strong fighting spirit, left Gantangyuan, and headed for Guanfeng Hall where the state banquet was held. For the first time after the heavy snowfall, the setting sun appeared in the twilight glow, and the snow on the palace buildings shone brightly. I don't know if it was because of a cheerful mood. Shangyang Palace is so beautiful, and the relationship between him and Wu Zhao took a new step stage.
