Well, you're a roast duck seller, but you don't have martial ethics.
What they found hard to accept was that this shameless man's ridiculous and straightforward behavior was actually recognized by His Highness the Crown Prince.
Did you really give Enyin?
Don’t you need to talk about traditional feudal ethics?
If it's so direct, why are they trying to show off to Qiao here?
One by one, there was resentment in their eyes.
Just like a young lady in a boudoir, a pair of eyes can make people feel infinitely aggrieved.
If they had known that His Highness the Crown Prince was so generous and kind, he was not as serious, upright, and fair as they imagined... The opportunity for that soup must be theirs, and they must have done more than this duck seller. It's more elegant and more stable.
Of course, regret is regret, but it is a rare opportunity in eight lifetimes. From now on, no one will care about what is elegant or not.
Not to mention whether this is a Buddhist pure land.
What about the Buddhist ancestral court?
Anyone who blocks my progress is my enemy.
Not even when Buddha comes.
What I said.
Ever since, the cloth merchant said that his family wanted to support the imperial court during the Northern Expedition, but His Highness the Crown Prince won too quickly and did not have time. Then he has been regretting it for a year. He hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will give him someone who can serve the country. Chances are, his family can produce six thousand sets of military uniforms.
Others said that his family used boats on the two rivers. It just so happened that the official's southern tour would definitely take the waterway. He was willing to send three black-painted pot-bellied boats to the government to facilitate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's southern tour.
The eminent Buddhist monk said that every time the newspaper comes out, our temple must organize a study. We have already understood the guidelines of His Royal Highness, but because the temple is poor and far away, there is no way to repay... Nothing else Yes, the autumn harvest has just happened this year, and there happen to be 800 shi of new rice in the warehouse. Why not send it directly to the official treasury, and there will be 800 shi next year.
In addition, they can even contact other temples and temples to prepare military rations for the soldiers accompanying His Royal Highness on this trip to be stationed in Jinling, Jiangdong.
The few wealthy businessmen in front of them all received awards.
But when he arrived at the eminent monk, Xiao Yi frowned and asked coldly on the spot: "Oh, you are loyal and patriotic. Eight hundred dan a year is really a lot."
The eminent monk was startled.
coming.
The honest man Xu Jingli felt something in his heart and said secretly, is His Highness the Crown Prince finally going to take action?
Many officials and gentry who were related to White Horse Temple were also stunned for a moment, and then their hearts beat faster.
Originally.
When they heard at the city gate that His Royal Highness was going to White Horse Temple, they felt sad and quickly sent people to White Horse Temple to inform them so that they could be prepared.
And when His Royal Highness the Prince arrived at the White Horse Temple, it seemed that he was only conducting a sacrifice for the soldiers who died in the battle, and was not doing anything else.
But they are still worried.
Until the fasting banquet started, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on it, looking very friendly. And as they showed their positive behavior one by one, it seemed that the monarch and his ministers were really in harmony, and the monarch and the people were one family.
What kind of inspection, what kind of questioning.
It doesn't exist.
Someone must have heard it and made random assumptions.
Whether it was the abbot and eminent monks of the White Horse Temple, or the officials and gentry, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
I just felt that the knife would not fall on my neck.
No matter how wise and powerful the Crown Prince is, he still leads troops to fight and governs the country, and he should still follow the previous principles.
Who knows, a good fasting banquet and a performance show to express loyalty.
When we arrived at Bald Donkey's place, we suddenly became silent.
It can only be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never thought of letting go of White Horse Temple, and he has always been that unprecedented sage.
The abbot of White Horse Temple once again recited Buddhist scriptures. This time, it seemed that he was saving himself in advance.
But all the eminent monks immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, please spare your life!"
"We are loyal to Daqian and have been practicing in the temple. We have never done anything harmful to nature!"
"The tens of thousands of acres of fertile land written in the Di newspaper are nothing but fiction."
"Your Highness, please give me a clear warning."
Every one of the officials looked pale. Who dared to stand up at this time and intercede for the eminent monks of White Horse Temple?
His Highness the Crown Prince obviously did this carefully.
If one of them is not good, they will be beheaded in public, their homes will be confiscated and they will be exiled.
Let’s think about how to mitigate our crimes.
Xiao Yi snorted coldly: "Really?"
"Then you mean to say that the Daqian Supervisory Censors and the Imperial Guards are framing me?"
"Fang Zhongcheng, Shen Tongzhi, do you two have anything to say?"
Censor Zhongcheng Fangxuan and Jinyiwei commander Shen Lian both stood up and bowed and said: "Your Highness, the investigation conducted by me is absolutely true. There are account books, written evidence, witnesses, and physical evidence."
"Baima Temple not only persecuted the people with usury, occupied and annexed the people's fertile land, but also harbored filth and evil."
"Monk Lingqing, the master of the White Horse Hall of the White Horse Temple, looks kind and kind. He is a famous eminent monk in Henan Province."
"Actually, this person has a private house in Luoyang City. In the private house, he also has ten wives and concubines, many children, and three grandchildren."
"This person also has eight manors outside Luoyang, two business names in his name, and ten thousand acres of land deeds."
"Such a person actually became a Buddhist monk!"
"I affirm that Your Highness will punish this person for his crime, so as to show the world, and bring justice to the people who were oppressed by him, and to bring justice to the world!"
A monk kneeling there opened his eyes wide and looked at Fang Xuan in disbelief, and then...then his face turned red, and he fainted to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Then, he twitched a few times and died immediately.
He was actually scared to death.
Xiao Yi patted the table and said, "What a Buddhist pure land!"
The abbot of White Horse Temple could no longer keep calm or recite Buddhist scriptures.
Confused.
The hot summer wind blew the cold sweat on the backs, making many people shiver.
What a fine prince.
It's really a thunderous method.
As soon as they arrived in Luoyang, they were able to take action without them knowing it.
What kind of fasting feast is this?
This is clearly the Hongmen Banquet!
"Fang Zhongcheng, Shen Tongzhi, and Xianggong Xu, you will immediately form a three-inspection committee to conduct a thorough investigation of the White Horse Temple."
"Those who are guilty should be directly questioned and punished."
"Also, set up Dengwen drums in the Yamen and let the people beat the drums to express their grievances!"
"In this way, we can obtain more evidence of guilt, redress the injustices of those people who have been wronged, and give Luoyang a bright and sunny day!"
Fang Xuan, Shen Lian, and Xu Jingli quickly bowed and saluted.
Xiao Yi continued: "Gu is not dissatisfied with Buddhism, nor is he intentionally targeting anyone. He just means that whoever makes life difficult for Gu's people will be made miserable for him."
"From the princes to the common people, everyone is treated equally!"
"You Buddhists are supposed to encourage people to do good, and you are also supposed to help people in a certain area, promote the true Dharma, and pay attention to a Buddhist relationship."
"If you abide by the law, if you really practice truthfully, do good deeds, form good relationships, practice good deeds, and keep a good heart, I will not say anything and will strongly support you."
"But look, what have you done?"
"Relying on his status as a Buddhist, he does such things to oppress the people in the pure land of Buddhism. What kind of Buddhist monk there is, even worse than a dog!"
After Xiao Yi cursed, he stood up, waved his sleeves, and took away the heads of many people.
the next day.
There were many long articles in the Di newspaper.
First, they reported on the crimes committed by the White Horse Temple, and they all had data to speak of. Who was who, how many private houses, how many land deeds, how much money, and officials related to the White Horse Temple. They were also not spared, and they were all questioned and punished.
Then there is an annotation from His Highness the Prince on the Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons chapter.
In fact, everyone knows that this is an explanation given by His Highness the Crown Prince for the "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" he wrote.
It was precisely because of reading this long article that I realized that Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons can still be interpreted in this way.
Monsters with good backgrounds eventually gained the merit of traveling to the west to measure calamities.
Monsters without background were all beaten to death by the Monkey King with a stick.
I see.
So that’s it!
Just say that there is a lion camel ridge in Hezhou, Xiniu, and a lion camel cave on the ridge. What is it like?
All I saw was: skeletons like mountains and bones like forests. Human hair was turned into felt pieces, and human skin was rotted into dust. People's tendons are wrapped around the trees, and their branches are burnt and shiny like silver. It was really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the stench was really unpleasant. The little demon from the east took and chopped up the flesh of a living person. Go west to cast evil spirits and cook fresh human flesh.
This kind of big monster is even worse than other monsters. This kind of big monster is the real monster.
But each of the three demons in Shituoling has his own background.
The Green Lion Demon King was originally the green-haired lion mounted by Manjushri Bodhisattva. He once transformed his Dharma body in front of the Nantian Gate, opened his mouth like a city gate, and swallowed the general with all his strength. He frightened the heavenly soldiers into not wanting to fight and closed the Nantian Gate. Therefore, he once swallowed a hundred thousand soldiers in one mouthful. Later he became king in Shituoling
The Great Demon White Elephant was originally the six-tusked white elephant mounted by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva in Mount Emei. He wields a spear in his hand, is three feet tall, has silkworm eyebrows, red and phoenix eyes, a beautiful voice, a plaque and teeth, and a nose like a dragon. If you fight with others, you only need to roll it away with your nose, and you will have an iron back and a bronze body.
The Dapeng demon was originally a Dapeng golden-winged eagle, named Yuncheng Wanlipeng. The hand uses a painting pole and a square halberd, and there are two gas bottles of yin and yang, and the mind is cunning. If a person is put into his Yin-Yang bottle, it will turn into pus in a matter of seconds.
Look, these are Buddhist and Bodhisattva mounts, but they can descend to earth and cause trouble in the world.
In the end, he was just blessed by the Bodhisattva and descended to the mortal world, and then he said: "The evil beast" soon showed his true form. That's it.
This is the real purpose of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons!
But people in the world just think that such stories are very nice, and some people have some ideas that this was really the case in ancient times.
I don’t know the deeper meaning.
Now I see His Highness the Crown Prince's comments in this newspaper, and I finally understand.
Some people even call it a classic. His Royal Highness is the Jade Emperor who is above the nine heavens. He came down to earth to experience this, so he wrote the Journey to the West to Conquer Demons.
After all, once this book is published, it can be regarded as a direct compilation of all the biographies of immortals from ancient to modern times. It can be regarded as the second most popular biography of immortals, and it is also a biography of immortals from famous and upright families.
At the beginning, the Buddhist Water and Land Dharma Assembly was a sensation, and many people came to Chang'an to watch it.
Xiao Yi naturally did not take action at this time, because such a water and land ceremony drove the movement of people and also promoted the economic development of Chang'an.
The Water and Land Dharma Assembly does not conflict with his efforts to rectify Buddhism.
For a time, interpreting Journey to the West also became a topic of conversation among scholars, and the imperial court also began to vigorously rectify Buddhism and Taoism.
Unexpectedly, many old injustice cases were unearthed, and some of them were so numerous that it made people feel frightened to see them.
Wherever the supervisory censors and royal guards go, the people are looking forward to it.
