The news that the Buddha statue in Huguo Temple fell over and broke into pieces quickly spread back to the city.
Originally, the news of this matter was to be suppressed and not spread back. After all, Huguo Temple is still very sacred in the hearts of the people, and there are always people who will connect what happened in the temple with the national destiny of Dazhen.
This morning, many people wanted to go out of the city to Huguo Temple. They all wanted to see with their own eyes whether the Buddha statue was really broken.
But when we arrived at the city gate, we found some city soldiers stopping us and asking where we were going.
Once he heard that they were going to Huguo Temple, he asked them to turn around and go back.
"The Huguo Temple will be hosting eminent monks from the Lan Kingdom in the past few days. No one is allowed to go there."
After receiving such news, the people were very curious.
An eminent monk from the Lan Kingdom? Who?
" Yesterday, someone saw an old monk on the street, but the old monk's clothes were dusty, his shoes were torn, and his carriage was almost scattered. He didn't look like an eminent monk from the Lan Kingdom.
Someone said that the old monk recognized Princess Jin and was taken to Prince Jin¡¯s Mansion last night. Maybe he was really that eminent monk.
The emperor still has to take care of himself this day and cannot go to court.
"But at least I can meet a few important ministers in the imperial study, listen to their reports on some important matters, and see him sit up, then the government is considered stable."
"Your Majesty, there is a sutra to be recited over at Huguo Temple. King Jin said that Master Ciyuan happened to be in Dazhen. Without reporting to the emperor first, he took it upon himself to stop the people who were going to Huguo Temple, and even asked people to guard him. By blocking the road outside the Guo Temple, isn't this an attempt to control the Hu Guo Temple?"
A censor couldn't help but come to report this matter, because his old lady believed in Huguo Temple very much and added a lot of sesame oil to Huguo Temple every year. As soon as she heard about Huguo Temple, she didn't sleep well last night. Early this morning, I packed up the carriage and took people to go to Huguo Temple. Unexpectedly, I was stopped as soon as I arrived at the city gate.
He said he was not allowed to go.
"Huguo Temple is related to the destiny of the country. Suddenly, strange things happened, such as the wall cracking and the Buddha statue collapsing. Could it be that the big sacrifice was not held well last time?"
Another minister said very worriedly, his brows were so furrowed that he was about to pinch a fly.
The minister bowed his head and said nothing.
He really didn¡¯t understand why.
The original move they made was not so exaggerated, they just turned over an incense burner. After all, it would be a small matter if the incense burner fell, but it would be a big deal if the Buddha and God were broken.
But I didn¡¯t expect that the incense burner fell over, the wall was cracked, and the Buddha statue was broken. This would be a big deal.
If one of them is not handled well, this pot will also affect the prince.
They haven¡¯t found out yet, and now the ministers don¡¯t dare to speak casually.
"During the big sacrifice, the prince did not attract good omens. Did it seem that there were dark clouds passing by when the prince went to sacrifice? A big dark cloud." Another veteran tried hard to recall.
The prime minister¡¯s heart skipped a beat.
Look, it turns out that whatever you are afraid of comes.
He was just worried that it might affect the prince. Sure enough, someone immediately mentioned the prince.
Having already said this, it would be useless if he didn't speak. The minister immediately said: "How long has it been since the Great Sacrifice? Is it interesting to blame the Great Sacrifice for everything now?"
"But for no reason, the Buddha statue broke."
"What does it have to do with the prince? The prince has already traveled to provide disaster relief for the emperor. What he did was filial piety and loyalty." The minister said. He glanced at the emperor quickly and thought about what the emperor was thinking now. He paused and then said, "Besides, the small Buddha statue in the secondary hall fell down, not the big Buddha in the main hall, which means it shouldn't be a big deal."
"We can't always make things very serious, as if Dazhen is going to be in bad luck. Otherwise, will the emperor be happy after hearing this?"
Sure enough, the emperor, who had always had a sullen face and was extremely dark, softened a little when he heard what he added.
Who wants to hear that Dazhen is going to be in bad luck?
When I met the emperor, he was really happy to hear what he said, and added, "Also, the people are ignorant and always think that the fate of Dazhen is closely related to the Huguo Temple. Now when they hear that the Buddha and God are broken, they will feel that something bad is going on. , but you are ministers of the country, important ministers appointed by the emperor himself, you cannot be as ignorant as the people outside."
"My dear, please speak carefully." The emperor's expression became better and he quickly encouraged his ministers to continue speaking.
"Didn't we have the emperor first, then the Dazhen Kingdom, and then the Huguo Temple? So although the Huguo Temple has always prayed for the royal family, the destiny of the Dazhen country is not tied to the Huguo Temple, let alone a On the Buddha statue.?The superior dragon body is the foundation of great chastity. "The more the minister spoke, the more fluent he became.
The ministers looked at each other and were speechless.
It seems to make some sense?
"What I said makes sense." The emperor's expression completely relaxed. I have to say that what the minister said touched his heart very much.
"Report."
Someone outside shouted, "Come from far and come near."
A messenger came quickly. "Your Majesty, Princess Jin and Master Ciyuan of Lan State are asking for an audience."
As soon as he heard that Ming Ruoxie was coming, the emperor's heart skipped a beat subconsciously.
She's here, she's here again. He still owed her a reward, a big reward, after all, she saved his life.
"Your Majesty, since Princess Jin is here, I will leave first." The censor and others immediately wanted to leave.
The emperor immediately slapped the table, "What's going on, my dear friends? Why are you running when Princess Jin is here? Aren't you all very concerned about the affairs of Huguo Temple just now? You also said that King Jin is blocking the people from going to protect the country. Temple? Now that Princess Jin is here, you can just ask her. Also, Master Ciyuan rarely comes to Dazhen, so everyone is waiting aside. "
It¡¯s best to wait until Princess Jin comes in. Seeing so many people, she feels it¡¯s not convenient to ask for rewards!
He really doesn¡¯t have anything to reward now.
Ming Ruoxie slowly walked over with Master Ciyuan.
Along the way, she looked at Master Ci Yuan from time to time, so that Master Ci Yuan could not pretend not to know, so he could only ask her, "Why is Donor Ruoxie looking at me like this?"
"It's strange, old monk, are you still afraid of being looked at?"
"I'm not afraid, but I just feel very confused."
Ming Ruoxie chuckled, "Didn't I see that the master's monk's robes and cassocks are fresh, bright and shiny, and I feel very curious. What happened to the patched clothes that the master had before?"
"Do you think that if I came from Lan State and wore this outfit along the way, would Prince Lian still be able to bring it to you intact with such a box? Amitabha."
Ming Ruoxie couldn't help but laugh again, "It turns out that the master deliberately wore patched clothes and torn shoes for that box of things."
"No, that set of clothes, shoes and socks was specially given to me by His Highness King Lian. His Highness King Lian insisted on letting me wear them."
Speaking of which, for an old monk like him, he shed tears of bitterness.
I don¡¯t know where King Lotus got such a set of clothes and shoes.
Just as he was talking, Master Ciyuan suddenly looked in one direction and let out a sigh. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
