Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Few Families Are Proud, A Few Are Sad
Three days later, Dezhu set off with King Jinyin's book and escorted Jinyin's treasures. Before leaving, Oniyuko took the place of King Jin Yin to see Dezhu off.
Dezhu said humbly: "The imperial envoy lives in Zhongdu, and he must know a lot about Zhongdu, so please give me a lesson or two." ”
Ghost Youzi said: "Don't dare to teach, only six words of advice 'less words and cautious deeds'"
"I'll take it to heart!" Dezhu thanked.
"When you arrive in Zhongdu, if you have any difficulties and needs, you can tell the Seventeenth Prince, he is the only person you can trust in Zhongdu. ”
"Thank you, Envoy!"
"Also, help me to give a message to the Seventeenth Prince, don't bully Prince Dezhu!"
Dezhu smiled shyly and gave a deep salute: "Thank you, Imperial Envoy!"
About three months later, King Jin Yin received an edict from the emperor. It expressed the praise for the loyalty of King Jin Yin and the satisfaction that Jin Yin was too safe and stable under the rule of King Jin Yin, and more importantly, the emperor also issued an edict to withdraw the army stationed in Jin Yin, believing that the army could no longer play a role in Jin Yin, and also increased Jin Yin's burden, affecting the good relationship between Jin Yin and the Celestial Empire, and also expressed the emperor's trust in King Jin Yin.
King Jin Yin received the edict and was overjoyed, and he valued and trusted the ghost in his heart even more. Sending the messenger away, King Jin Yin ordered someone to summon the ghost ghost. At this time, Kiyuko was recuperating from her injuries in the room, and when she heard the message from the guards, she knew that it should be the emperor's edict, so she got up and rushed to the prince's room.
When passing through the garden, Oniyuko saw a girl: cardamom years, beautiful and pure, like a fairy outside the clouds, unstained by the fireworks of the world. The ghost ghost was not surprised: Who is this woman? Why haven't I seen it in all these years? Isn't it the concubine of King Jin Yin's Xinna? No! Although King Jin Yin is cruel and extravagant, he is not desolate. Due to the summoning of the prince, the ghost did not stop and hurriedly walked to the prince's room.
"Miss, do you see the man just now?" asked the maid beside Miss.
The young lady blushed slightly and said, "I haven't seen it." ”
"Miss's face is red! and she said she hadn't seen it!" said the maid teasingly, "Miss, your lying skills need to be strengthened!"
"Yue'er!"
"Alright, alright! Who wouldn't be impressed when they saw such a handsome man!" said the maid with a face.
"You still say, I'll be angry if you say it again!" the young lady turned her back in anger.
"Miss Mo Qi! Miss Mo Qi! I don't want to say it, can't I?" The maid turned to the young lady, "But I don't say it, it doesn't mean that someone won't think about it!"
"Okay, you, I don't educate you well today!"
"Good Miss! I was wrong! I was wrong!
Two people frolicking in the garden, like two fluttering butterflies, shuttling among the sea of flowers.
"The envoy is here?" King Jin Yin stood up and sat down.
Ghost Youzi asked, "I don't know what the prince is looking for?"
"The Emperor's edict is here!"
"Oh, what does the edict say?"
"He withdrew the troops stationed in Jinyin!"
"Congratulations to the prince!
"Haha! It's a big step forward to my plan! This time it's thanks to Qingzhi's plan!" Jin Yin smiled, "Now I know why Zhou Gong spit out and Xuande took care of it!"
Ghost Youzi said modestly: "How dare you! All this is still the work of the prince who is determined to make a choice and has the courage to make a decision!"
"Where! Where!" King Jin Yin put aside the topic and asked instead, "I took the little girl to the mansion yesterday, I wonder if the imperial envoy will meet me?"
"Ah, could it be that the daughter I saw in the garden today?"
"That's it!" King Jin Yin sighed, "She has always lived with her mother, and I took her when she was recently of marriage. ”
Ghost Yuzi nodded and said with a smile: "Miss is so beautiful, could it be that there are too many people who propose marriage, making it difficult for the prince to choose?"
King Jin Yin smiled: "It's not the person who proposes marriage that makes it difficult for me to choose, it's the little girl who makes me worry!"
"Oh?"
"This little girl is just like her mother, her heart is higher than the sky, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter her eyes!"
"Well, that's hard. After all, her father's vision is not much worse than hers!"
"Hahaha!" King Jin Yin laughed, "Indeed! I really don't like ordinary noble children! But there is one person whom I admire very much, and I think the little girl will be satisfied." ”
Ghost Youzi's heart twitched, and he vaguely guessed that person, but he could only stubbornly ask: "I don't know what kind of character can enter the eyes of the prince?"
"Far away in the sky, close in front of you!"
"This... Ghost Youzi hurriedly stood up, "But there is already a middle feed below, and I really don't dare to let the prince's daughter bend down to be a concubine!"
The prince's eyes changed, and he became suspicious: "Isn't it normal for an excellent man like you to have three wives and four concubines?" Besides, as long as your heart is on the little girl and you don't wronged her, whether you are a wife or a concubine, I won't care about this matter." ”
Ghost Youzi gave a deep salute: "Thank you for the prince's love! But the minister is light and virtuous, and he really has no shame to accept the prince's special favor, and he can't let the prince's daughter be wronged and become a concubine!
"Hmm!" the prince nodded, "Then that's it!
"Yes!"
Bhuja Temple. During this time, except for some important matters, the Guru presided over the puja, and the rest was handled by the eldest disciple Samye. I sat alone in my room to recuperate and serve the Buddha, and I didn't ask about the world. This made the eldest disciple very happy: although the decision on the position of the future abbot is in the hands of the four elders, the master is interested in me, and I don't think the four elders will have any opinions!
Some people are happy, and some people are worried! The arrogant appearance of the eldest disciple made the third disciple very unhappy. It seems that the master has returned, and the Bujia Monastery has been mastered by him! Hmph! You really think of yourself as a person, and you can be a holy venerable with your virtue?
Due to his repeated confrontation with Sanye, he often defended Gru and worked against Sanye, and he had been removed from all his duties by Sanye and became an idler. Duocang is also happy to relax, and every year he stays in front of the master's room, guarding the door for the Holy Venerable, responding to calls and coming when there is a move. The second disciple Gru was not so obviously dissatisfied, and everything was as if the master was presiding, and he was dutiful to his duties. Whether Samye was giving him the task to make things difficult for him or to exclude him, he completed it conscientiously and without a single mistake. This made Samye happy as well as worried. I am glad that the second junior brother did not oppose himself like the third disciple, disobeying his own leadership and affecting his prestige. And the worry is that he can't find any fault with him, and it won't affect his image in the eyes of his disciples and the four elders. This is a huge concern for his future path!
In the middle capital, Prince Dezhu was placed in the palace by the emperor, and a palace was being built for him. Although Dezhu said that he came to serve the emperor in place of his father, he was not worthy of having a palace. However, in order to show Jin Yin the richness, power and grace of the Celestial Empire, the emperor had to build this palace for Dezhu. Dezhu had no choice but to offer incense to pray for the emperor's longevity.
On this day, the seventeenth prince came to Dezhu's residence. Dezhu saw the seventeenth prince coming, and hurriedly bowed humbly. The Seventeenth Prince hurriedly said: "No! No, you don't need to be so polite in private." Besides, I'm looking for you to play, and you're so restrained, so how can you play?"
"Yes! Dezhu will pay attention to it later. Dezhu hurriedly apologized.
"Alas, you are really!well, whatever you want!" the Seventeenth Prince sat down casually and said, "I want to ask you about someone." ”
"Seventeenth prince, excuse me. Dezhu must know everything, and say everything. ”
"That's the one ... The Seventeenth Prince scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "My Master, Ghost Ghost, have you seen him?" The Seventeenth Prince now doesn't know the height of the sky, and he dares to call the master by his name directly.
"Then you're talking about the Imperial Envoy, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's him! How is he doing in Jinyin?"
Dezhu replied, "It's good. He is now a guest in the Golden Hidden Palace, and my father thinks highly of him. ”
"That's good, you don't often see him, how do you feel hungry?" asked the Seventeenth Prince.
"Your Excellency... I had very little contact with him, only twice. Once when he was inspecting, and once when I was leaving. Does he give me the feeling that he is a man of great benevolence and wisdom with compassion for the heavens and people. ”
In fact, this is just the objective and rational feeling in Dezhu's heart, as for the subjective, I don't know why, Prince Dezhu has an indescribable hatred for him, and an indescribable gratitude!
"Oh! I feel that, too. Alas, when I was with him, it was the happiest period of my life. The Seventeenth Prince couldn't help but recall the time he spent with his master.
"He is indeed a good master. ”
"Hey, did he ask you to bring me a message?"
"Uh... Dezhu was a little embarrassed, "The Imperial Envoy did ask me to bring you a message before leaving. But... ”
"What is it? Tell me about it. ”
"Uh... ”
"Good Prince!" The Seventeenth Prince begged, "Tell me what he said, how about I take you to play?"
"Uh... "Dezhu said," the Imperial Envoy asked you. Let me help me a lot. Dezhu finally thought of a closer meaning.
"Oh, that's right, ha, this master!" the seventeenth prince shook his head and smiled.
"Forget it, don't talk about him. I'm here today to ask you something. The Seventeenth Prince said.
"But it doesn't hurt to ask. ”
"Do you know the Dharma?"
"Although I have studied Buddhism since I was a child, the Dharma is so extensive that I am afraid that I will be poor all my life, and I dare not call it 'proficient'. Dezhu replied.
The Seventeenth Prince felt that it was a little difficult to talk to him, so he stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "Then do you know the reincarnation karma?"
"This... Those who are not deeply rooted in the Buddha are difficult to cast the Dharma. Although I know, I don't have enough Buddha skills, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. ”
The Seventeenth Prince said: "You can see that I have a reincarnation karma on me! Alas! It's hard to say in a word! Then do you know who can cast a spell?"
Prince Dezhu said, "Among the monks I know, there are my father, the Four Venerables, and the Master Pu Neng that I have befriended in the middle capital. ”
"Master Pu Neng, is the national teacher of the Celestial Empire?"
"Yes!"
"Well, then I'm hopeless. ”
"Why?"
"I am a layman in wine and meat, and he is a monk who has attained the Tao, will he see me?"
Prince Dezhu smiled: "I don't think so! You are the prince, and you are also suffering from the karma of reincarnation, I think he will be interested in meeting you." ”
"Okay, one day will you introduce me?"
"Well, I'll visit him first and tell him about your situation. ”
"Thank you so much!" the Seventeenth Prince pulled him and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to be chic and happy!"
Prince Dezhu refused: "My father asked me to come to serve the emperor, not to have fun, I won't go." ”
Besides, you are not a girl like a flower, you walk in front of my father every day, you are not annoyed, he is still annoying! Let's go! Come to Zhongdu, if you go back and ask you about the wind and moon full of flowers, you don't know, that is really a shame on our royal face!"
Dezhu had no choice but to nod and go with him.
Since then, he has been pulled on a 'road of no return' by the seventeenth prince.
