Chapter 187: Sweet and bitter self-knowledge

At dusk, the crows and magpies chirp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoLingyan Temple is located in the suburbs, but not far from the military camp, and it takes less than half an hour to arrive by horse-drawn carriage.

The emperor walked in casual clothes, wearing a red brocade robe, but his identity was not named, but it could be reminiscent of a little.

The little novice who guarded the door could see the dignity of the person's identity at a glance, and hurriedly told the abbot of the temple. Therefore, as soon as Yu Wenche was welcomed in, he saw the abbot coming towards him.

The abbot Fayuan monk saw that the head of the heavenly court was full of bones and sharp bones, and it was obviously an imperial treasure statue, so he folded his hands and said according to the highest etiquette of the monks, "Lord Da'an." ”

Yu Wenche couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the monk family in his heart, and only said, "How does Master know who I am?" ”

"The lord doesn't have to care, the old man is arrogant, the lord is not here to burn incense and make a wish to the Buddha, I am afraid that there are doubts and I need the wisdom of the Buddha to answer the questions."

Yu Wenche didn't reply, so he acquiesced.

Monk Fayuan invited Yu Wenche and Tian Yuan to sit in the quiet room in the backyard, and offered new tea, only said, "It's just a rural area, coarse tea is ugly, and I hope that the lord is not strange." ”

Yu Wenche had already picked up the small cup of palm pottery and took two sips very casually, "This tea is so fragrant, what is coarse?" ”

Monk Fayuan smiled meaningfully, "The Venerable Lord has made up his mind too early. ”

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Yu Wenche and Tian Yuan felt that the bitter taste in their mouths was unbearable, as unbearable as eating a whole bitter gourd.

Tian Yuan waved his hand again and again and fanned his mouth, "Master, your tea is too bitter, is there any other tea, this... I can't stand it anymore..."

Monk Fayuan said to the disciples behind him, "Go and bring some other tea for the two donors." ”

The disciple should go down, and Shaoqing came with a purple sand teapot. Fa Yuan filled them with tea again and made a gesture of please, "Please taste the tea this time." ”

Tian Yuan just took a sip and spit it out, "This tea is still bitter!" ”

Monk Fayuan laughed wildly, "The donor has made up his mind too early. ”

Yu Wenche seemed to understand Monk Fayuan's intentions, picked up the teacup and took a sip, quietly waiting for the strong bitter taste in his mouth to dissipate, and gradually took in the fragrance, "It seems that Master not only knows who I am, but also knows what I want to ask." ”

Monk Fa Yuan once again restrained the salute, "The monks are compassionate, not to mention that this matter is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people. The lord is the whole world, and he has to worry about the people of the world! First suffering and then suffering are all decided by the Lord. ”

Yu Wenche chuckled, "I know, it seems that I can't get an answer in front of the Buddha this time!" Anyway, I've had enough guidance from the master today, so I won't bother. ”

He was about to get up and say goodbye, but unexpectedly, Tian Yuan suddenly said, "Wait! I have something to ask the Master! ”

Yu Wenche looked surprised, "What can you do?" ”

Tian Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and stumbled, "Please guide the master, I once met a delicate and transparent woman in Xia Bucai, and fell in love with her at first sight, but I only knew her name, but I didn't know her surname." The important thing is that she seems to be married, but she is unforgettable. This situation is difficult to break, tossing and turning at night and can't sleep, it's really uneasy, and I ask for your advice. ”

Even Yu Wenche never thought that the suave Major General Tian would say the words "love at first sight and unforgettable". When he was asked to lead troops in the poor place of Suzhou, it was because this son and brother were too unprofessional, and he escaped the class of Shen Weiqing, the emperor of the two dynasties, and went to the land of fireworks to have fun. Tian Fengyi, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, wrote a letter to ask for guilt, and the emperor also followed his wishes and released Tian Yuan to let him exercise well.

Tian Yuan naturally saw the playfulness in the emperor's eyes, and he said with a straight face, "I really like that girl, but it's a pity that she married Tongling from Yuzhou." ”

"Since she is a married woman, what do you still think about her doing? Don't be in the wrong place, you merryman. The emperor teased him, and suddenly made him embarrassed and embarrassed, and looked at Monk Fayuan in a panic.

Monk Fayuan had a smile hidden at the corner of his mouth, and leaned over slightly and said, "The monks are six pure, how can they answer questions for the donor and solve the things on the love field?" The donor asked the wrong person. ”

Tian Yuan is not a fool, of course he knows that Monk Fayuan is deliberately avoiding his question, he was about to ask, but he heard the emperor cough with his fist against his lips, "It's not too early, it's time to go back to the barracks!" ”

With that, he symbolically bowed his body and strode out. Tian Yuan didn't dare to delay, so he followed, and said in a babbling voice, "Senior Brother Emperor, can't you let me ask clearly?" I'm serious this time, and now I'm looking for this plain girl all over the world! ”

The Emperor gave him a blank look, and without saying anything, he leaned over the side wall of the carriage and got into it. And Tian Yuan can be regarded as seeing that the emperor is frustrated in love, and he doesn't want to see other people's mandarin ducks in pairs, he thought about it, and can only use the word "lack of virtue" to describe it.

As for why Master Fayuan avoided this, he really didn't know why.

What shocked him even more was that the emperor had just returned to the barracks from Lingyan Temple, and he made a major decision: to withdraw from the army.

"Retreating at this time is undoubtedly showing weakness to the Southern Chu thieves, and it will definitely greatly weaken the morale!"

"If the emperor retreats because of several defeats, he will undoubtedly tell the people of the world that if he can't recover the lost territory, how can he subdue the hearts of the people in Jiangnan and Liangguang?"

The opposition was endless, but the emperor had never been so soberly aware that this battle could not be fought. The national strength of Great Xia is empty, after the war in the north and the Langya rebellion, the army system is very chaotic, and the weapons and equipment are seriously insufficient.

"I didn't call you here to discuss, but to tell you what I decided." The emperor's fingers kept beating on the imperial case, and his expression looked quite relaxed, "It's not that I don't want this Jiangnan and Liangguang, but to recover it at the right time, this Great Xia country is in my hands, and I should work hard to make it happen, so as not to let some chaotic ministers and thieves have some thoughts that they shouldn't have!" ”

The emperor has always acted arbitrarily, and the generals' persuasion is useless. Before the beginning of the rainy season in June, the main force of Great Xia withdrew from the Yangtze River to the original mansion, leaving a small number of troops to cooperate with the two cities to defend them.

At the same time, Great Xia and Southern Chu have blocked the border, and it is difficult for ordinary people to walk between the two countries.

Fortunately, Su Wanqing successfully returned to the territory of Southern Chu before the blockade and connected with the people sent by Chu Xiuze.

Huaqin glanced at her, but saw that she was looking at the north with a lost face, and said deliberately, "Where there is any love that is as deep as the sea, it is just for the eternal emperor's industry, the more talented the man, the more difficult it is to control, and in the end he will hurt himself." ”

Before Su Wanqing could reply, he heard an indifferent male voice behind him, "What nonsense!" It's not affectionate, it's just because of the evil intentions of the alien race! ”
