46. Lotus lantern

Zhenshu was asked by him, and he didn't know how to answer. Still looking up at him, I saw him gently turn around and block the light that came in from outside, and covered her whole body in the shadows and whispered: "Can the little shopkeeper come to my house to read this book to me, and let me know the kind of wisdom that Master Xuanzang is seeking." ”

He paced forward slowly, approaching, and Zhenshu told him to slowly retreat, shaking his head and saying, "His journey to the west is not only to find his own enlightenment, but also to carry a greater ambition, which is to make it happen." Just read through the whole book, but only a little bit of the scenery along the way recorded by the holy monks, if you really want to find wisdom, I am afraid you still have to go in person. ”

"What is that ambition? The little shopkeeper, please also come and listen. Yu Yichen forced Zhenshu to a corner behind the bookstore, where the two stood together, and looked at her with their chins bowed.

Zhenshu smiled and said: "This is a long story, and it is also related to the customs of the world at that time. If your father-in-law wants to know, you can ask a monk to talk about it. ”

Yu Yichen shook his head: "I don't want to find any eminent monks, I have a great desire to learn, and I want to know now." ”

Zhenshu saw that he slowly left him and walked back and forth, and he moved to a spacious place without a trace, and said patiently: "Buddhism was introduced to China in the late pre-Qin period, and it went through the Wei and Jin dynasties through the Sui and Tang dynasties. During this period, there are naturally many eminent monks, such as the four ancestors of Daoxin, the five ancestors of Hongren, and the six ancestors of Huineng. But there are also some people who do not understand the Dharma but still interpret the meaning of the scriptures in vain, and think that there are some shallow people who have seen the bottom of the truth, usurp the scriptures and change the scriptures privately, so that the scriptures in the world are half-true and half-false, and those who demand the Buddha's centripetal heart are often mistakenly led astray by false scriptures, and so on and so forth.

The holy monk saw his evil and suffered deeply, so he made a great wish to go to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, in order to educate the world with the true scriptures, and teach the world to no longer be deceived by the false scriptures. ”

Yu Yichen stopped in front of Zhen Shu, saw her talking eloquently, looking like a little master, and recalled the woman she had met in her life, but found that she had never met someone who could make such remarks, nor had she ever met someone who was neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, nor was she confused by his appearance, so she smiled lightly and said: "That holy monk can finally find the true scriptures?" ”

Zhenshu said: "Naturally. The holy monk returned to Middle-earth from Tianzhu to obtain the true scriptures, and spent the entire second half of his life, translating most of the scriptures into Chinese. Since then, most of the scriptures we read and recite have been translated by the holy monks. ”

Yu Yichen approached Zhenshu again, and saw that she was holding the book in her arms, but she still took a step closer and said: "The words of the little shopkeeper made Yu want to hear what was written in this book. Therefore, the little shopkeeper must go to Yu's house to read. ”

Zhenshu was deceived by a man, so he became alert at this time, handed the whole box of books to Yu Yichen and said: "There are talents in the Jade Gonggong's Mansion, please ask them to read it." ”

Yu Yichen took his hand behind and did not answer the book: "The little shopkeeper cursed me for having many sons and blessings, and Yu is afraid that it will be unforgettable in this life." ”

Zhenshu reluctantly explained: "You have a lot of godson and grandchildren, why are you afraid of the little girl's words?" ”

Yu Yichen said: "Those are just my disguises, do you know what disguises are?" ”

Zhenshu shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Yu Yichen said: "It's just that I don't have it, but I deliberately put it out for others to see." ”

Zhenshu looked at him and didn't pay attention, bypassed him out of the bookshelf, walked a few steps quickly and put the book on the counter and shouted, "Shopkeeper, count the money." ”

A fierce middle-aged man suddenly came out of the room, stood in the counter and said, "A total of two taels of silver." ”

Zhenshu picked up the bookcase and looked at it: "It's too expensive, where did the shopkeeper go?" ”

The man waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, we're going to close the door." ”

This person sent Yu Yichen and Zhenshu off the door panel before entering the inner room. Along the road he was bleeding, there were several men lying in the middle of the road with wounds and newly deceased wounds, and the shopkeeper of the bookstore was being tied up into a rice dumpling and thrown on the ground. He walked to the shopkeeper's side, bent down and said, "It seems that you can be comfortable for a while, my father-in-law is afraid that he won't have the time to clean you up." ”

There is still an amiable smile on the shopkeeper's face, a person who is born with a happy face, if he is really scared away, and his face is distorted and hideous, he can really scare people to death.

Outside the bookstore, Zhenshu called someone out and stood outside the door with a stack of books in his arms. Seeing that Yu Yichen was also kicked out and standing outside, Zhenshu raised the book in his hand and said, "This must not be the shopkeeper." When I take a book, he will give me a rope to string it together. ”

Seeing that Yu Yichen didn't say anything, Zhenshu said again: "Even if he doesn't string, I can string it myself, it's better than holding it like this." ”

Yu Yichen pointed to the tide of people surging forward like a tide: "The lotus lantern is going to be placed in the moat, let's go over and take a look?" ”

Zhenshu saw that at this time, the crowd was rushing to the moat, after all, the young woman was also a little curious, so he said: "I have to come back early and wait here, otherwise I am afraid that my father will be in a hurry." ”

Yu Yichen smiled and walked forward. Zhenshu followed, and the two kept walking up, and when they reached the upper reaches of the river, where the lights were not crowded or crowded, they looked down at the railing, and saw the lotus lanterns on the river walking with the water. She was a little disappointed in her heart, and naturally she didn't scream in surprise like the girls next to her.

"But don't you like it?" Yu Yichen asked beside him.

There are many people here, noisy and shouting, and Zhenshu doesn't know if Yu Yichen can hear it: "I grew up in the countryside of Zhengxian County since I was a child, and the Weihe River is not far from my home. Every fifteenth full moon, the moonlight sprinkles on the river surface into a wave of sparkling scales slowly downstream, the sky is wide and the earth is wide lying on the sandy bank, listening to the night gulls singing, it is really a good scene. It is also strange that a few tiny lights in this small river can cause a sensation in the whole city. ”

Yu Yichen didn't know when he took out a lotus lamp from his bosom and put it on the book in Zhenshu's hand and said: "The light on the Wei River is the artistic conception of heaven and earth. The lotus lantern in the moat is the interest caused by manpower. How can human beings be reconciled with nature? However, there is a little interest, why not put a lamp on the little shopkeeper and ask for a wishful husband for himself? ”

Zhenshu held the book in one hand, picked up the little lotus lamp with the other hand and looked at it, and saw that it was a small lotus flower with a decent appearance, and a small candle inside was very delicate, so he gently put it into his arms, and said to Yu Yichen: "My father is afraid that he has been waiting at the door of the bookstore, so the little girl will say goodbye." ”

Yu Yichen said: "If you want to study for me, you must come to my house on the third and eighteenth days of the first month of each month, don't forget." ”

Zhenshu listened to what he said without a head and no brain, and said in his heart that this eunuch is so confused, even if he has many sons and grandchildren, and he has nothing to do with him, why should he listen to him. She walked a few quick steps and pretended not to listen, and hurriedly rushed to the bookstore. When I arrived at the door of the bookstore, I saw Song Anrong there pacing anxiously.

The joy of such a cold winter day is only afraid that it will be joyful for many days. Yu Yichen felt some warmth in his heart, seeping inward from his cold bones. He turned around and saw Mei Xun leading people standing not far away, beckoned over and asked, "Where is Dou Hong now?" ”

Mei Xun said: "I have already asked Sun Wu to be tied up in the mansion." ”

Yu Yichen nodded slightly, and then asked, "Can the rest of the people be killed?" ”

Mei Xun said: "Kill." ”

Yu Yichen walked quickly and got into the carriage, and the warmth in the car made him seem to be alive, he held the curtain and said, "Put the prepared things in, and then notify the people of Ying Tianfu to go over to investigate the case." ”

The carriage passed through the royal street to the back gate of the Jade Mansion, through the desolate courtyard of the grass and trees, Yu Yichen stretched out his hand and closed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, the little eunuch came up to untie his coat for him, he tightened his sleeves and wrists, and pushed two heavy doors into the house with his arms, strode through a figurine road, and then pushed the other two gates and walked back. Soon appeared in a large room as dark and deep as an underworld.

The bookstore owner lay on the ground like a dead pig, Yu Yichen went in to find the dark corner and sat down, waved his hand and motioned to the little eunuchs to splash water to wake him up, and when the bookstore owner woke up with a shiver, Yu Yichen signaled the little eunuch to ask him. A little eunuch stepped forward and kicked the bookstore owner twice and asked, "Dou Hong, when did your bookstore become a den for the spies in Liangzhou?" ”

Dou Hong rubbed his hands and kowtowed on the ground and said: "Father-in-law, the little one is really just trying to resell some exam questions in the name of Wang Shenzhi, as for the Liangzhou spy, there is really none." ”

Yu Yichen closed his eyes and frowned and listened for a long time, stretched out his palms and fingers to look at the confession of the bookstore owner Dou Hong in front of the case, shook his head and said, "No, he must be asked to rewrite." ”

The other two little eunuchs took their confessions and threw them to Dou Hongdao: "My father-in-law is not satisfied, so I will write it again." ”

Dou Hong said: "This is the truth, it's true, the little one is guilty, but it's just a resale of some exam questions." ”

He suddenly came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "You can't beat me into a trick, I'd rather die than write again." ”

Yu Yichen looked coldly in the shadows, he was rarely in a happy mood today, but it was too cold in this room to make him irritable. He waved his hand and said: "Pull it up and torture it, don't ask him to dirty my house, if it doesn't work, hang it with ginseng soup, if you really don't open your mouth, it's still the old way, you write it yourself, just press his handprint when you're done." ”

Emperor Chengfeng is dying, but there is still a disadvantage that he can make him go faster. Emperor Chengfeng was wise in his life, and he could see everything openly, but only Li Xucheng.

Li Xucheng's rebellion made Emperor Chengfeng furious, every time he didn't recruit him, every time he resisted the decree and disrespected, and again and again Emperor Chengfeng clearly realized that he was played by the loyal but treacherous son on the face, he asked for Liangzhou as a fief with heavy troops, and he would master the entire Liangzhou within a year or two.

And now what Yu Yichen has to do is to prescribe the right medicine, so that Emperor Chengfeng knows that Li Xucheng is not only disrespectful, but also has long been opposed. It's not that he wants to oppose Li Xuze, but he wants to oppose his Laozi, Emperor Chengfeng himself.

Wait until tomorrow, after the people of Ying Tianfu have searched the bookstore, he will submit Dou Hong's confession to the military department, and then mobilize some officials and officials to play a few copies, I am afraid that Emperor Chengfeng will be able to end it.
