In the study, Wang Zun looked at his second brother with a playful smile and asked, "Brother, what's the matter? I haven't caused you any trouble during this period. I go to the temple every day to burn incense and pray for you."
There were seven Wang Zhene brothers. Except for his sixth brother Wang Xian who became an official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the other five brothers came to Chang'an with him to take up their posts, as well as the three sons of his uncle Wang Yao. When Wang Zhene was thirteen years old, his family was broken up and his brothers were scattered. He fled with his uncle Wang Yao to live in Yiling City, Yidu County, Jingzhou, Jin State.
Wang Yao raised several nephews and taught them that brothers should live in harmony with each other. Brothers who work together can break gold. The Wang Zhene brothers have experienced hardships together, and their relationship is deeper than that of brothers from ordinary families. After Wang Zhen'ei was appointed governor of Beiyong Prefecture, he rebuilt his ancestral home and placed all his brothers as officials in government offices or the army, sharing wealth and honor.
Wang Zhene said with a straight face: "I heard from my elder brother that you always go to Jianjing Temple. Why have I never seen you believe in Buddhism before? Why did you change your gender when you arrived in Chang'an? Although Jianjing Temple is a Buddhist temple, it is presided over by a female monk. It's easy to attract people's attention when you go there. If you really believe in Buddhism, you can go to Caotang Temple and Wolong Temple. If stupidity doesn't stop you, it's better to go to Jianjing Temple less often." m.
Wang Zun suppressed his smile, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Second brother, to tell you the truth, I actually have my eye on a female monk from Jianjing Temple."
Wang Zhen's evil face darkened and he scolded: "Since you entered Chang'an, you have taken in no less than ten beautiful maids. Why are you still not satisfied? You actually shamelessly said that you have fallen in love with a female monk. You are not afraid of the Buddha's punishment, so you quickly give up the idea." "
Wang Zun said seriously: "Second brother, after I met Master Mingjing, I realized that the other women were just vulgar and vulgar, not as good as Master Mingjing. If I can bring Master Mingjing into my family, I will send away the other women and focus on being with you." Master Mingjing stays with you."
"Bah!" Wang Zhenye heard that Wang Zun did not repent, and yelled angrily: "You have been blinded by lard, and the female monk of Jianjing Temple dares to make up your mind. You don't know that Jianjing Temple is the master of Zhi Miaoyin." Is it established? My lord wants Jianjing Temple to win over the hearts of the old Qin believers. If you mess up my lord’s plan, I’m afraid not even a fool can protect you.”
Wang Zun retorted unconvinced: "Second brother, Yang Anxuan is far away in Xiangyang. You are the governor, and it is not you who has the final say in Chang'an City. You have contributed to the destruction of the country for him, how can he convict a female monk?" For you."
Wang Zhene stood up angrily, slapped Wang Zun, and cursed angrily: "Shut up, are you going to cause big trouble for the Wang family? Go back to your residence, and you are not allowed to go out for a month, otherwise I will interrupt." Your legs."
Wang Zun covered his face. Wang Zhene had never hit him since he could remember. Seeing the blue veins on his second brother's face, he was obviously really angry. He didn't dare to say anything and turned around to go back to his courtyard.
Angrily, he sat down in the hall, and the maid served him fragrant tea. In the past, Wang Zun would have had some teasing with his maid. At this moment, his face was in burning pain. Wang Zun reached out to hold the tea and was burned. He threw the tea cup to the ground angrily and cursed: "Get out of here."
Wang Zhen was angry at Wang Zhen, but Wang Zun really didn't dare not listen. In the past few days, he stayed at home playing chess with his maid and listening to music, never leaving the door until his seventh brother Wang Yuan came five days later. Wang Zun hosted a banquet for him. .
During the dinner, Wang Yuan complained: "Fourth brother, my eldest brother is on an expedition to Anding County, why don't you see me off?"
Wang Zun was stunned and asked: "Second brother led the army to go on an expedition? Yu was confined at home by his second brother and didn't know it."
Wang Yuan advised: "Fourth brother, don't run to Jianjing Temple. The servant you mentioned, Mingjing, went to see it. She is indeed beautiful. The servant ordered people to find out more about her. It is said that before she became a monk, she was Sima Yuan, the prince of Kuaiji. "Xian loves Ji, fourth brother should stay away from this girl to avoid causing trouble for the family."
Wang Zhen scolded Wang Zun for causing trouble for the family. Wang Zun did not dare to refute, but his seventh brother said the same thing. Wang Zun immediately became unhappy and said: "Old Qi, is your fourth brother the kind of person who doesn't know the importance of things? You are so stupid that you burn incense in a Buddhist temple. I also pray to Buddha to bless my second brother and keep our Wang family safe and sound. Do you need to teach me a lesson?"
Wang Yuan cupped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, fourth brother, just keep it in mind, drink, drink." When he was bidding farewell to Wang Zhene, his second brother asked him to persuade Wang Zun and point out Mingjing's special status. , which made Wang Zun calm down. Wang Yuan actually didn't care whether he listened or not.
Wang Zun was bored at home for a few days. When he learned that his second brother Wang Zhene had left Chang'an City, he felt like grass had grown in his heart. Ansheng didn't sleep all night, and when he closed his eyes, he felt clear. He thought that the maid next to him was pure, and he tossed around until midnight before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Wang Zun changed into a brand-new green silk shirt, with a jade hairpin in his hair and a jade hanging around his waist. After thinking about it, he rummaged through the cabinets and found a few rubies, put two of them in his arms.
Wang Zun heard that Wang Yuan explained that Jing was Sima Yuanxian's concubine before becoming a monk. No wonder he despised the vulgar things he gave her. This gem was obtained by Yao Xing's chariot when his second brother broke into Chang'an. He secretly pried off the gems, jade and gold ornaments decorated on the chariot, and threw the chariot into a corner of the palace wall.
Later, when Yang Anxuan entered the palace, he ordered people to search for the treasure chariot. He smiled when he saw the looted chariot and did not pursue any further investigation. Wang Zhene distributed the gems and jade he got to his brothers. Wang Zun got four pieces of jade and six gems.
The gems and jade used to decorate the chariot were naturally of the highest quality. Wang Zhene distributed them to his brothers as heirlooms. Unexpectedly, Wang Zun used them to please beauties.
In the absence of Wang Zhene, the ban became empty talk. Wang Zun came to Jianjing Temple excitedly with the gems in his arms. Ming Tong, an acquaintance in the temple, felt contempt for him when he saw him. However, this was the younger brother of the governor Wang and had dedicated a lot of money to the temple. A lot of incense money.
For the sake of power and money, Ming Tong greeted him with a smile and said, "Donor Wang hasn't been here for a few days. Do you want to invite senior brother Mingjing to give a lecture again?"
"That's right, is Master Mingjing here?" Wang Zun hurried in and Mingtong trotted after him, saying, "Yes, Master Mingjing is doing something in the main hall."
Wang Zun paused, hesitated, and said, "I just went to burn incense and worship Buddha to pray for my brother."
In the Mahavira Hall, there are misty incense, bursts of Sanskrit sounds, and solemnity. There are believers kneeling on the futons and kowtow. Wang Zun entered the hall, clasped his hands together, but looked around, and soon discovered the brightness under the prayer flag on the left side of the Buddha.
Quietly moving to the left, approaching Mingjing, his eyes fell on Mingjing's jade-white face, and Wang Zun was haunted.
After the rituals were completed, the monks lined up to leave the hall. Wang Zun hurriedly followed Mingjing out of the hall.
Mingjing had discovered Wang Zun a long time ago, and was extremely disgusted in his heart. This man was pestering him like a fly. If the abbot hadn't made him feel guilty, he would not be offended, and he would not have glanced at him from the corner of his eye.
"Master Mingjing is free, I would like to ask you to recite the Heart Sutra for my brother." Wang Zun said with a smile.
"Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" has been widely circulated. All monks in Buddhist temples can recite it, and even believers can recite "Relics, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, form is emptiness, emptiness is form."
Mingjing was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked towards her monk's dormitory. Wang Zun followed closely.
After Mingjing and Gu Zi sat down on the futon in the monk's dormitory, Wang Zuncong took out two rubies from his arms and carefully placed them on the table. The two gems are about the size of pigeon eggs, crystal clear and as bright red as blood.
Mingjing was born into a wealthy family, and was later taken into the palace by Sima Yuanxian. She loved him very much. It can be said that she saw many pearls and jade, but such colorful gems were rare. She couldn't help but light up her eyes and let out a slight "surprise".
Wang Zun was so proud that he sat down on the empty futon and said with a smile: "Master Mingjing, there are many more gem fools like this. If you like fools, I can give them to you."
Bright eyes withdrew from the gem, lowered his gaze and said: "What is the use of worldly things given to a monk? The donor should take them back."
Wang Zunken said: "The Amitabha Sutra translated by Master Jiumo said that gold, silver, glass, coral, clam, red pearl and agate are the seven treasures of Buddhism, and these gems should also be counted. Master Mingjing is bright and moving, and in the I am afraid that it will be difficult to practice with peace of mind in Jianjing Temple, so I wish to build a Buddhist hall at home for Master Mingjing to practice with peace of mind."
Mingjing sneered coldly in her heart, and asked lightly: "This extraordinary gemstone, I wonder where the donor came from?"
Wang Zun was overjoyed when Mingjing did not reject it right away. He smiled and said, "This thing was given by my elder brother, who took it from Emperor Yao's chariot."
Mingjing's heart moved, and she raised her head and glanced at Wang Zun. Wang Zun also revealed his words and said hurriedly: "Master Mingjing, don't worry, Duke Yong is already aware of this matter and has never blamed him."
Yong Gong, Yang Anxuan, Ming Jing's chest rose with overwhelming hatred, wishing that he could turn into evil fire and burn the world to ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart.
She hated her father and brother for being incompetent, and her life was just about listening to Wang Gong's instigation of rebellion, which resulted in the death of her family; she hated Wang Gong for being worse than a pig or a dog, causing her family to be imprisoned, and she wished she could eat his flesh and drink his blood; she hated Yang Anxuan for killing her brother. She hated Sima Yuanxian for not being able to avenge her and kill all her enemies...
Finally, I thought of my three-year-old child, Sima Faxing, who was also killed in the market along with Sima Yuanxian. The poor child would have been sixteen years old this year if he had not died.
The beauty sheds tears like pear blossoms in the rain, making them more beautiful. Wang Zun was heartbroken, and he was helpless and advised: "Master Mingjing, there is no need to be sad. Since you don't want to be stupid, you won't mention it anymore. Don't cry anymore."
Ming Jing raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, calmed down her mood, and thought to herself, Yang Anxuan is now honored as Yong Gong, and he will get one of the two points in the world. He is hiding in Buddhism, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to take revenge.
Glancing at Wang Zun, who was full of concern, he found that his second brother was Yang Anxuan's confidant and the governor of Beiyong Prefecture, Wang Zhene. If he could persuade Wang Zhene to rebel against Yang, Yang Anxuan's vitality would be severely damaged even if he could not get revenge.
Thinking of this, Mingjing chuckled and said, "The poor monk suddenly lost his composure when he thought about family matters. I hope Donor Wang will not blame you."
Wang Zunji had seen Mingjing smile at him before, and he was already filled with anger. He hurriedly said: "Don't blame me, don't blame me. Just don't feel sad."
Mingjing stretched out her fingers to fiddle with the gem. The gem gave off a faint halo. The ruby on her jade finger was particularly moving in her eyes. Wang Zun looked at it with keen eyes, wishing he could bring his mouth to kiss it a few times.
"Donor Wang, you want to build a Buddhist hall for poor monks at home, will your brother agree?" Mingjing asked.
Wang Zun listened to Mingjing's tone and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Brother Yu himself has hidden Yao Xing's niece in his house, how can he have the nerve to call him stupid."
A sharp look flashed in Mingjing's eyes. It seemed that Wang Zhene had done a lot of things secretly behind Yang Anxuan's back. There might be a chance to sow discord between them. But how useful could this idiot be in front of him?
Wang Zun suddenly remembered the slap in the face, and seemed to still be in burning pain. He said with a guilty conscience: "If the second brother can't tolerate you, I will take you to Wei to join my sixth brother. Yu's sixth brother is doing business in Wei." Choose Cao Shangshu, who sent me a letter of greetings years ago."
It turned out that the Wang family was having an affair with the Wei State. Ming Jing lowered her eyelids to hide the rage in her heart. The Wang family wanted to destroy itself, so there was no need to blame the slaves for adding fuel to the flames. If they could get some revenge, there would be no regrets even if they died.
Some people died, but not completely...
