lucky son

Gradually, the originally silent hall began to have small conversations. As more and more people spoke and their emotions became more and more excited, the whole hall was buzzing and noisy.

After waking up from that mysterious and mysterious feeling, all those who listened to the sermon felt that they had realized something and gained a lot, and they couldn't wait to share their insights with those around them.

People who have already studied Buddhism debated their understanding of this sermon with fellow enthusiasts. People who were not interested in Buddhism were also surprised that they were preached and opened the door to a new world, and began to try to understand it from the perspective of Buddhism. Observe the world, observe life and the self.

"Originally, I wasn't interested in Buddhist scriptures at all." A noble girl whispered to her handkerchief, her bright apricot eyes sparkled, "Whenever I was naughty, my mother asked me to copy Buddhist scriptures, I was getting annoyed." Those scriptures are dead! Even though I copied them several times, I didn’t remember them at all, just to deal with things.” After a pause, she raised her hands and covered her blushing half of her face with her wide sleeves, “ But now, I really want to go home and read those Buddhist scriptures carefully again."

"Me too." The girl beside her smiled and pursed her lips, her expression teasing, "Listening to those grandpa masters preaching Zen is really different from listening to a young and handsome little master~"

Being told about the central matter by her close friend, the aristocratic girl's face turned even redder, she gave her a hard look, and turned her head away.But those beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance at the young monk's body, and the waves of light flowed.

Not far away, several married women were also whispering the sermons of the monks.

Different from young girls who are not interested in Buddhist scriptures, most of these women who have experienced deep house training believe in Buddhism and often recite Buddhist scriptures to cultivate their body and mind, so as to soothe their exhaustion caused by the mess in the back house. unbearable physical and mental.

For some content of this sermon, the wives of the officials were particularly impressed. However, as a group who are bored and gossip the most, they are more concerned about another matter.

"Just now I saw a little golden light all over the master's body, did I miss it, or is it true?" The gorgeously dressed lady asked in a daze with amazement.

"It's true, and I can see it clearly!" The other lady's expression was excited, "I read some short Buddhist stories before, and I once read that a holy monk preached to the world, and the golden light of merit and virtue descended from the sky. The merit of transforming the world. Could it be that what we saw just now is the golden light of merit?"

Thought-provoking and insightful sermons, coupled with the mysterious golden light of unknown origin, not to mention the more emotional young women who are easily swayed by demagogues, even those important officials in the court who are rational and well-educated Both the son and the famous family were amazed and filled with awe.

"Brother, younger brother heard that Master Xuanzhen is currently living in the East Palace temporarily?" Next to the crown prince, the second prince approached, lowered his voice, and was full of admiration, "My younger brother really admires the master and wants to listen to the teachings more. Brother, do you want to pay more visits to the Eastern Palace?"

The second prince has a shy personality, occasionally a bit thick-skinned, but now he is putting on a shy face to please the prince, which really makes the prince feel a little embarrassed.

"Second brother, haven't you always disliked Buddhism?" The prince gave him a sideways look and asked back.

The second prince chuckled: "Didn't the eldest brother do the same thing before? Now that I haven't been with the master for a long time, I turn around to build up momentum for him, which shows how powerful the master is. Brother, I am impressed by the master's demeanor. Isn't it a matter of course?"

The prince snorted softly and said nothing.

Naturally, he didn't want all cats and dogs to come to Grandmaster's side.His father is stronger than himself, there is no way to do that, but other people whose identities are not as good as his, he, the crown prince, can still stand in the way.

Although he was somewhat inexplicable because of his desire to monopolize the master, the crown prince would never make things difficult for him. He was used to arbitrariness since he was a child, and even the emperor would rarely force him to do things he didn't want to do.

Why these younger brothers eagerly want to join the master, the prince can understand with his toes.The profoundness of the Master's Dharma is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must also be due to the emperor's admiration for the Master.As long as they please the master and let the master speak well in front of the emperor, they will definitely benefit greatly.

Everyone in the hall was disturbed, with different thoughts, and the expressions on their faces were either fanatical, fearful, thoughtful, or amazed.Meng Hui didn't look at it, but the light ball recorded everyone's expressions one by one, so that his host could use it to sort out the personal connections he gained at this Buddhist banquet, and understand who can communicate, cooperate, and win over. Who needs vigilance, observation, and alienation.

Today, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital are gathered here. With this preaching, Meng Hui, who had no foundation in the capital and had a dark eye for the situation in the capital, was not only able to get acquainted with the dignitaries, but even Suddenly became the hottest celebrity in Beijing.

Even if only one-third or even one-fifth of the people in the hall believed in his identity as a Buddhist monk and reincarnated Buddha, it would still be a huge force for Meng Hui.

Meng Hui made a lot of money from this Buddhist feast.However, His Royal Highness, the organizer of the banquet, was not satisfied with this.

Standing up from his seat, the prince bowed to the excited emperor who was blushing after listening to the sermon, and said with a loud smile: "Father, my son heard that Master Shu'an of the Ministry of Rites once wrote a tribute to the master. I don't know if it is acceptable Have a chance to read it?"

The emperor was not sure how to express his admiration for the master, when he heard the prince mentioning this matter, he was overjoyed: "An Aiqing's praise article is really brilliant, it can be called a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation." After a word of praise, he turned to Minister of the Ministry of Rites, with a pleasant face, "An Aiqing, why don't you take this opportunity to read it aloud in public, can it be regarded as a response to the scene of the Buddha banquet?"

Hearing the emperor's proposal, the Minister of Rites was flattered, and quickly stood up to agree.

He was already very satisfied with his praise, but it was a pity that he didn't dare to spread it outside without the emperor's approval because it was submitted to the imperial court.Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally also hopes that this praise can have the opportunity to be widely circulated and praised by others.

What's more, Minister of the Ministry of Rites has witnessed two miracles of Buddha's light descending from the sky, and he admires Master Xuanzhen more than others, and it is really a good thing that he can read praises for him face to face and attract the attention of the master. !

The Minister of Rites suppressed the excitement in his heart, and solemnly took over his memorial from Chief De'an—this was prepared by the prince earlier instructing De'an.

Clearing his throat slightly, the Minister of Rites looked around, and then at the emperor, seeing him nodding slightly to himself, he opened his mouth to recite.

Of course, I am the most familiar with the articles written by myself. In addition, I just witnessed the Buddha's presence in the world again, and the Minister of Rites is at the time when he is most emotional.

This gorgeous praise was read by him with yin and yang frustrating, directly hitting the soul, coupled with the spectacle of genius, which made everyone present look amazed and yearning - presumably starting from today, the temple in Woniushan Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing It will become one of the grand sights in central Beijing. Even if the autumn lotus withers, it will still attract tourists and believers.

After reading a praise, the hall that had been quiet for a while was once again full of voices.Everyone praised the beauty and vividness of this article, or they couldn't wait to invite them to the temples in the suburbs of Beijing to have a look. Similarly, many people turned their attention to the Zuoxiang couple, Concubine Shu and the fifth prince, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Zuo Xiang looked familiar at the bright red between the young monk's brows, but he didn't dare to think about it.After all, the youngest son has been away for a long time, Prime Minister Zuo has almost forgotten about him, even the youngest son's face is very blurred.

At this time, it was confirmed that the young master who was treated as a guest by the emperor was indeed his youngest son. Zuo Xiang was so excited that he wished he could meet him on the spot, hold the youngest son and complain about the pain of parting and lovesickness, but he was hindered by being in the emperor's house. Yuqian, I really dare not make mistakes.

Due to being too excited, Zuo Xiang naturally didn't notice his wife's stiff smile and flustered eyes at all, but all of this was recorded by the light ball - after all, in order to fulfill the wish of the original body, Zuo Xiang's family is the object of observation .

Apart from Zuo Xiang's family, Concubine Shu and the Fifth Prince are also the envy of everyone.Sitting among the concubines in the harem, Concubine Shu smiled like a flower, looking at the young monks in the palace with loving and gentle eyes, and the fifth prince who was still worrying about how to get close to Master Xuanzhen under the strict guard of the prince just now had bright eyes. Try to restrain your joy and pride.

As the saying goes, one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.Now that Master Xuanzhen has risen to the top and won the favor of the emperor, the status of those who are related to him by blood will naturally rise accordingly.

It's a pity that this excitement didn't last long, and was quickly broken by the emperor's words.

Seeing Prime Minister Zuo's uplifting look condescendingly and Concubine Shu and the Fifth Prince's eagerness to move, the emperor snorted coldly in his heart, but with a pleasant face he called Prime Minister Zuo to come out.

Zuo Lian hurriedly got up, quickly adjusted his official robe, and walked quickly to the hall.He first glanced at the young monk not far away with emotion, and then kowtowed to the emperor.

The emperor smiled and ordered him to get up, and praised him wildly as everyone expected, praising him for giving birth to such an excellent son, but he was not burdened by family affection, and he sent the youngest son to become a monk with awe-inspiring righteousness.

Zuo Xiang was originally very excited because of the emperor's praise, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.

After all, he is a veteran who has been in the officialdom for a long time, and he has a good understanding of the emperor's mind. As his mind gradually calmed down after being dazzled by the sudden surprise, Prime Minister Zuo finally came to his senses, and his heart sank. .

On the surface, the emperor was praising him, but in fact he was drawing a line between him and Master Xuanzhen—since he had reluctantly sent his beloved son to become a monk, and his beloved son had also broken the ties of the world and achieved great Dharma, since then, Master Xuanzhen It has nothing to do with Zuo Xiangfu.Even relatives who are related by blood, should not use kinship to fetter the master's heart to Buddha and make him tainted with secular karma, otherwise, it will be short-sighted, pedantic, and mistaken for Buddha.

What's more, could it be that the emperor had just praised Zuo Xiang for the sake of Buddhism, but Zuo Xiang was about to show his beloved son lost and recovered?Wouldn't this slap the emperor in the face and let the emperor praise you for nothing?

The emperor's meaning was very clear, even if he didn't say it bluntly, people with a little brains could understand what he meant.

Knowing the emperor's attitude, those who just wanted to rely on the left minister to establish a relationship with Master Xuanzhen all restrained their actions for the time being, even though they still had small calculations in their hearts, they did not dare to do it too blatantly— At the very least, since this Buddhist banquet, everyone will never mention the father-son relationship between Master Xuanzhen and Prime Minister Zuo.

This incident was full of ups and downs, happy first and then surprised, which made Zuo Xiangxin feel bitter, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit.He thanked him sincerely and returned to his seat with the reward from the emperor, not daring to look at the young monk again.

It can be said that the emperor had already bought out the last ties between Prime Minister Zuo and the young monk with an extremely generous reward, under the witness of all the dignitaries and court officials.From then on, Master Xuanzhen was just Master Xuanzhen, and had nothing to do with Prime Minister Zuo.

The emperor was satisfied with solving the problem of Master Xuanzhen's relatives - he had previously used the introduction of the crown prince's praise, and read it in public in the Ministry of Rites.

The prince brought up this matter, firstly to build momentum for Master Xuanzhen and to make friends with the master, secondly to show favor to the Minister of Rites and let him accept his favor, and thirdly to understand the emperor's mind, father and son cooperated tacitly and worked together. play.

——With one stroke, he deserves to be a good prince taught by himself.The emperor was particularly emotional, half relieved, half vigilant and worried that his mind was guessed.
