After this incident, Jiang Min felt more and more that if she could not give birth to a child for her husband, she would become the sinner of the family.
Two months later, Jiang Min still had no movement in her stomach.
Jiang Min came to the Buddhist temple uneasily and asked the old monk why the Buddha had not sensed my sincerity even though he had been practicing vegetarianism for so long.
The old monk recited, Amitabha.
Seeing that Jiang Min still looked puzzled, the old monk told Jiang Min a conversation between a disciple and the Buddha.
The disciple asked the Buddha: Master, since you have boundless power and a compassionate heart, why is there so much suffering in the world?
Buddha said: I have boundless power and a heart of compassion, but I can irreversibly change the four laws of nature.
1. Cause and effect cannot be changed; if you sow the cause, you must bear the result.
2. Wisdom cannot be given; if anyone wants to develop wisdom, he cannot do without his own training.
3. The true Dharma cannot be told; the truth of the universe cannot be explained clearly in words, and you can only rely on your own verification.
4. Those who have no destiny cannot be saved; those who have no destiny will not listen to your words. As the saying goes, although the rain is heavy, it cannot moisten the boundless grass, and the Tao and Dharma are boundless, so it is difficult for those who have no destiny.
After listening to the conversation between the disciple and the Buddha, Jiang Min seemed to understand something, bowed deeply to the old monk and left silently.
………………………………
The sky above Sima Mansion was filled with darkness. Hundreds of crows were circling in the sky, screaming pitifully, making the whole sky filled with the smell of darkness and death.
If there is a strange phenomenon in the sky, there must be a demon.
The next day, news came from the palace that the emperor had passed away.
Unfortunately, just when Sima Ao and others were about to implement reforms, the emperor died!
The emperor was kind to Sima Ao.
Hearing the news of the emperor's death made Sima Ao feel mentally and physically exhausted and made it impossible to implement reforms.
With the death of the old emperor, Sima Ao's doom is coming quietly.
Sima Ao, unaware of the impending misfortune, wrote a letter to the new emperor proposing reforms, listing the shortcomings of the court and the necessity of reforms.
Two months have passed, and the submitted memorial has not yet been approved. Sima Ao is very confused.
Sima Ao didn't know that the eunuchs in the palace were now in charge, so his memorials had been intercepted, and his theories and strategies for saving the country were considered by a group of people to be evil.
The emperor was young and naive and loved to play, and he listened to the villain's greedy words. He also believed that Sima Ao, who had a large army and excellent strategy, wanted to usurp the throne.
………………………………
On this day, Sima Ao received an order to patrol Lingnan.
Sima Ao was very confused, why did the emperor send him to such a far place?
Although Sima Ao had doubts in his heart, he could not disobey the emperor's order and set off with a team.
On the way to Lingnan, Sima Aode received an emergency report from Xiaopang. The express newspaper said, "The Dongchuang Incident happened, Zuodu Mansion and Sima Mansion were raided."
After Sima Ao saw the express report, he knew something was wrong and ordered his troops to return.
On the way back, Sima Ao was attacked by unknown people.
Sima Ao's men started a desperate fight with an unknown person... Suddenly a flying arrow flew behind Sima Ao.
At this time, Sima Ao was surrounded by more than a dozen people. It was difficult to turn around and resist the flying arrows, and he had no time to dodge.
Seeing that the flying arrow was about to hit Sima Ao's back, suddenly the arrow seemed to be diverted by some force, and finally hit a tree.
Due to Sima Ao's agility and strong martial arts, he quickly defeated these raiders.
Sima Ao asked why the attacker attacked him and who was the instigator?
The attacker said nothing and committed suicide unprepared by Sima Ao.
"They all committed suicide, what should we do now?" a soldier asked Sima Ao.
Not knowing who the enemy was, Sima Ao ordered his soldiers to search everywhere to see if there were any accomplices.
Sima Ao came to the foot of a tree and pulled out the arrow that had deflected.
Sima Ao knew that someone must have helped him because he was lucky enough to escape an arrow just now. And the person who can change the direction and speed of the arrow when it is shot is definitely not an ordinary person.
Sima Ao couldn't help but think of Dongfang Yu'er.
"Sir, Mr. Dongfang, Sister Yu'er, Sister Fairy, is that you?"
"Sir, Mr. Dongfang, Sister Yu'er, Sister Fairy, please come out and meet the students!"
"Students really miss you!"
Sima Ao called Dongfang Yu'er excitedly.
Dongfang Yu'er, who was hiding far away, was very surprised. When saying goodbye, she had used magic to clear everyone's memory of her. Why would Sima Ao still remember her?
Sima Ao's misfortune has come, how can Dongfang Yu'er turn a blind eye.
So that arrow just now was caused by Dongfang Yu'er using magic to shift the arrow's position, saving Sima Ao from disaster.
Dongfang Yu'er came down to earth secretly, so naturally she couldn't meet Sima Ao in person, so no matter how much Sima Ao shouted, she would not come out to see Sima Ao.
The childish look on Sima Ao's face has long faded away now, and he exudes the mature charm of someone who is thirty years old.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" The soldiers who were searching everywhere came back and asked Sima Ao.
Sima Ao calmed down his emotions and said, "I'm fine. How's the search going? Is there anyone suspicious?"
"I didn't find it," the soldier replied.
"Ignore why these people raided us. Let's go back to Chang'an now."
Drive, drive, drive...
Sima Ao and the soldiers speeded up their return to the palace.
After Sima Ao left, Dongfang Yu'er, who was hiding in the distance, walked out and looked sadly at Sima Ao's leaving figure.
……………………………………………
It is said that in order to prevent Sima Ao from usurping the throne, the new emperor deliberately sent Sima Ao away to search the mansion, in order to find Sima Ao's crime of usurping the throne.
Unexpectedly, the new emperor searched the two mansions of Zuodu Mansion and Sima Mansion, but found no evidence that Sima Ao had usurped the throne.
The search team found no evidence that Sima Ao had usurped the throne, but they took away the "Beautiful Country and Mountains" painting.
There is such a beautiful picture in the world!
The new emperor was also amazed by this vast "Beauty of Country and Mountains".
The new emperor could not find evidence that Sima Ao had usurped the throne, so he sentenced Sima Ao to prison because he had the intention of usurping the throne in his private painting of "Beauty of Country and Mountains".
When Li Fulai learned about this, he hurriedly entered the palace to avenge Sima Ao and said, "This picture of "Beauty of Country and Mountains" was painted by me and has nothing to do with the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu." When he said this, Li Fulai also took the picture of Sima Ao. A box of silver was presented.
Of course the new emperor didn't believe it and asked Li Fuli to draw a "Beauty of Country and Mountains" on the spot.
"Beauty of Country and Mountains" has been painted once, and now it is easy for Li Fulai to do it again.
Li Fulai was swaying his pen, rustling... In just two hours, the vast "Beautiful Country and Mountains" appeared on the paper.
They were exactly the same, and the new emperor was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
Afterwards, the new emperor hired Li Fulai as his court painter.
The new emperor believed that this "Picture of Beautiful Lands and Mountains" was indeed painted by Li Fulai, but he did not believe that Sima Aozhen had no intention of usurping the throne.
The new emperor believed that paintings like "Beauty of Rivers and Mountains", which are as wonderful as flowers, flowing like water, and vivid, should be regarded as state-owned. Moreover, the paintings are of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty, also known as "Beauty of Rivers and Mountains." It goes without saying that it metaphorical meaning.
