Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"Ok!"

Wu Tuoqi smiled innocently and nodded heavily.

Simultaneously.

A subtle evil light flashed across her eyes:

Chapter 181 Is Mr. Jiang? My little princess invites you into the carriage.

Liu Jie did not deliberately conceal the news of his becoming a Buddha.

Then, with the intimidation of this Luminous Sun Realm, Jiang Qingyu and his subordinates were able to spend five peaceful days.

A lot happened in five days.

First of all, Qingluo, the third owner of Huamanlou, announced in a high-profile manner that she had killed the only remaining two immortals in Beidi, Tuobayan and Bals.

For a while, people in Beidi were panicked and everyone was in danger.

However, the temples of Chu State are undercurrents.

Then, Jiang Qingyu, the fourth son of the Beibei Palace, issued an order to the eight major tribes of Beidi, asking their leaders to bring a 25-man army and all the Chu people who were still in their hands to eighty miles north of Luoxia Town on the 5000th of the first lunar month. Make decisions about the royal court.

Everyone knew that this was an ultimatum for the eight major tribes to surrender!

Bao Luo, Qi Yan, and Wu Tuo, who had long surrendered to Jiang Qingyu, responded immediately.

Hill's and Barr's, who have always been wise and safe, followed closely, and also expressed that they would come as promised.

The Helian family who annexed the Hude family was very tactful, claiming that their little princess and Jiang Qingyu had already had an agreement to fight, so they would definitely be there.

As for the remaining Tuoba clan...

But it was too late to respond.

But on the second day, a shocking thing happened——

Tuobaqi has fallen!

What's more, he was killed by the high priest Tuoba who had lived for hundreds of years, and even his brothers, children, and concubines were also killed one by one!

but……

The mistress of the Tuoba clan, Madam Zhiwei, seemed to have anticipated the crisis, and secretly left the Tuoba clan in advance to save her life.

After Tuoba Qi's death, High Priest Tuoba acted as the leader temporarily, and announced to the outside world that he would lead the crowd to the appointment.

at the same time.

With the support of Wutuobu and others, Liujie began to spread Buddhism and started to build the first temple in Beidi by the Black Water Lake.

Jiang Qingyu personally signed it——

Xiaonanshan Temple.

Heishui Lake is adjacent to the Baoluo and Qiyan clans, so the missionary process will be relatively smooth. Although the priests of various tribes are unwilling to give up their "god-given" powers, after Liujie used Buddhist methods to convert a group of people , the voice of opposition suddenly became quieter.

Later, High Priest Qiyan and High Priest Bao Luo announced their renunciation of the gods and joined Buddhism, which even made the people doubt their belief in the gods!

Liujie then announced that on the day Xiaonanshan Temple was completed, an altar would be opened to teach Buddhism by the bank of Heishui Lake.

Although the people of Beidi do not believe in Buddhism, they have heard of opening an altar to preach about the Buddha. That is something only living Buddhas are qualified to do, and every time it will cause an uproar in the territory of Chu!

Therefore, even though many people don't like Buddhism, they are still curious and decide to see it when the time comes.

……

Just as major events were happening in Beidi, the interior of Chu State was also not peaceful.

Going to the Wu Pavilion, Yue Huang chopped off the arm of the great eunuch Yan Songyu in Luoxia Town, which caused the royal family to be furious.

And what the Emperor Yue said to the King of the North in public became more and more suspicious!

In the court hall, courtiers played every day, constantly mentioning the word "cutting the vassal".

Some people even asked Emperor Jing Hong to order the king of Beidi to end the winter hunting competition early after hearing the rumors in Beidi, and ordered Jiang Qingyu to lead the army to withdraw from Beidi, lest the father and son make another contribution to the expansion of the territory. , There is no seal!

Although Emperor Jinghong has repeatedly expressed his trust in the King of Rejecting Beidi, in order to prevent his meritorious deeds from shaking the Lord, he had to start considering the latter's proposal, and tentatively discussed with all the officials in the court hall the leading candidate for conquering Beidi.

Someone recommended King Jingxuan of Qingjiang, someone recommended Jingning Wang of Zhongshan, and still others recommended Prince Jingyuan.

Without exception, they are all from Jing's lineage.

After all, no one thought that Jing Hong would let outsiders pick ready-made peaches.

In the end, voices supporting Crown Prince Jing Yuan prevailed. Emperor Jing Hong wanted to sit in the capital and could not go on a conquest by himself, so the Crown Prince should go on the expedition instead of him to make achievements in opening up the territory.

but……

Just when everyone thought that the matter was settled, Prince Jing Yuan suddenly expressed his refusal.

He believes that the credit belongs to the father and son of Jubei Wang and the daughter Luo of the third building of Huamanlou. If he orders the other party to stop at this time and complete the last step by himself, it will be chilling, and it will also make people in the world and future generations ridicule!

He is well-deserved for this achievement of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory!

It would be better to completely reject the Northern King and his son.

Above the Golden Palace, Jing Yuan was even more ambitious and said:

"Since the father can accommodate the King of Rejection who sits in the three states in the north, why can't the crown prince accommodate Jiang Qingyu?"

These remarks sounded a bit presumptuous, putting himself in the position of the monarch, but after hearing this, Jing Hong not only did not blame him, but praised him without hesitation, saying that the future Jing Yuan and Jiang Qingyu, a pair of monarchs and ministers, would definitely be good. Lost to myself and Jiang Qiushui!

This matter is for the time being.

……

On the 23rd of the first month.

Another major event occurred in the territory of Chu State.

After many years, Abbot Shanxuan of Nanshan Temple finally opened an altar to give lectures on Buddhism!

Even though it was only promoted three days in advance, this grand event still attracted tens of thousands of devout believers, and the inside and outside of Nanshan Temple were filled with water!

Many people speculated that this might be the last time that Abbot Shanxuan opened an altar to give a lecture on Buddhism, so many dignitaries and people from all walks of life rushed from remote places overnight, fearing to miss this grand event.

Coupled with the news of the Six Precepts becoming a Buddha in the world, it made the opening of the altar to preach on the Buddha even more meaningful. Even the crown prince Jing Yuan couldn't help but come from the capital to join in the fun.

Before dawn on this day, the inside and outside of Nanshan Temple were already crowded with people.

Even the foot of the mountain is already crowded with people.

At first glance, there were [-] to [-] people, and the number of people talking about it alone has exceeded the opening altar lecture on Buddhism by the abbot of Beishan Temple in the early spring of last year.

Many people didn't even have a foothold, so they had no choice but to climb up the ancient trees on Nanshan Mountain, or stop at a place hundreds of feet away from the Buddha's high platform.

However, the positions closest to the high platform were occupied by people early on. These people were either rich or noble, or had outstanding cultivation, and they all had a lot of background.

Among them, the most conspicuous group stood on the east side. The leader was wearing a bright yellow four-clawed dragon robe. He was the Crown Prince of Chu, Jing Yuan.

Beside Jing Yuan, there was a young handsome man dressed as a Confucian scholar in a white robe supporting a woman in a yellow skirt wearing a veil.

When supporting her, she was half a step behind the woman and bowed slightly.

Seeing this scene, Jing Yuan couldn't help jokingly said:

"There are 24 filial piety in the history books. I don't know whether it is true or not, and I have no chance to see it."

"But in my opinion, Brother Qingshu's filial piety to Aunt Lu is no less than anyone else in the history books!"

The white-robed Confucian scholar looked indifferent:

"Your Highness is too well-respected, this is Qing Shu's due duty."

"Thanks to His Highness speaking, my mother was able to leave the capital and come to Nanshan Temple to watch Abbot Shanxuan open an altar to teach Buddhism, otherwise Qingshu would not be able to fulfill his filial piety today."

Jing Yuan patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile:

"You and my confidant brother, why are you polite?"

谷穘

"Besides, Aunt Lu came to the capital as a guest, so she was free to come and go. It's because the group of people under Father's hand went too far!"

"Today, the crown prince made a promise on behalf of my father. As long as Aunt Lu wants to come to Nanshan Temple to worship Buddha, she can leave the capital at any time, and no one can stop her!"

This statement came out.

The woman wearing a veil couldn't help but speak:

"Mr. Lu thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jing Yuan smiled and said:

"Aunt Lu, how many times have I mentioned it? You can just call me Xiaoyuan. What is His Royal Highness, it's too raw!"

"You and the queen mother are called sisters, and you will always be my most respected elder. Even if I become the emperor in the future, you can still call me Xiaoyuan!"

The woman shook her head:

"The order of respect and inferiority is a rule and a courtesy."

Jing Yuan smiled helplessly:

"Then follow Aunt Lu."

"By the way, mentioning Li..."

"Brother Qingshu, Jixia Academy will hold this year's spring exam soon, right?"

"Fan Yu suddenly realized his innate talent, and became the leader of Chu's prince list in one fell swoop. I wonder if you have the same confidence as last year in the spring test this year, and beat him again?"

"Father has been talking about marrying younger sister Jingli to this person recently, but I always think that this person is not worthy of the name and is not worthy of Jingli. I hope Brother Qingshu can suppress his arrogance!"

The white-robed Confucian scholar frowned slightly:

"Your Highness, Fan Yu has real talents and learning. If there is a chance to win him over, he might as well take it for his own use."

Jing Yuan admired:

"Brother Qingshu, you are still so meritocracy, you have no selfishness at all!"

"However, it is enough for me to have you!"

"To tell you the truth, I will always reserve the position of Prime Minister for you in the future!"

Jiang Qingshu lowered his head slightly:

"Thank you for your love, Your Highness. If Qingshu is qualified for the position of prime minister, he will definitely not refuse, but if he is incompetent with little talent..."

Jing Yuan patted his shoulder and interrupted:

"Don't underestimate yourself, you and I will definitely become a pair of wise emperors and ministers who will go down in history!"

After all, he pointed to the east:

.

"Brother Qingshu, look, the sun is rising."

"The Kingdom of Chu, my father and this crown prince, is also slowly rising!"

……

thump, thump...

When the sun rises.

The bell on Nanshan Temple rang a hundred and eight times.

Then, under the eager gaze of tens of thousands of people, the old abbot Shanxuan with white eyebrows hanging down to the ground slowly walked up to the high platform with the support of two young monks.

The old abbot sat down cross-legged, clasped his hands together, and recited a Buddha's mantra:

"Amitabha."

In an instant.

A round of Buddha's light like a great sun rose slowly from behind him, reflecting the morning sun in the east.

next moment.

The sky, which was still somewhat dim, suddenly became brilliant and gorgeous, and patches of morning glow gathered towards Nanshan Temple, forming a "卍" character in the sky.
