112. Buddhism and Taoism

Situ Yun got the news, and soon after, the news spread throughout the harem.

When Wu Guifei heard this, her hands paused, and she seemed to smile: "It's finally started." Let's go, let's go to meet the Queen Mother. ”

Ningshou Palace, Empress Dowager Chen had just received the news, and she saw Wu Guifei running over with a worried face: "Niangniang, it's not good, something big happened outside!" ”

"How?" Empress Dowager Chen is not safe, is there anything else besides Concubine Ning?

"The concubine heard that someone outside wanted to harm Concubine Ning's sister." Wu Guifei hurriedly handed over the news, looking like she had just known.

"My sister and Her Majesty are more affectionate than Jin Jian, how can they harm Your Majesty? We all know about Jinling, if it weren't for my sister's efforts to turn the tide, His Majesty would not have been able to come back a long time ago-" Wu Guifei covered her mouth: "The concubine has lost her words." ”

"Alright, Hongu knows what you mean." The Queen Mother waved her hand, and waved back with a gloomy face: "Concubine Wu, you are acting quite well, who do you say is doing this?" ”

"I don't know about the concubine. However, what kind of stone chicken lays eggs, what shakes the emperor star, this kind of words is definitely not something that ordinary people can spread. And everyone is circulating, I'm afraid this rumor comes from the harem. ”

"Concubine Zhen has been staying in the palace honestly these days, and the emperor is also cleaning up the power of the fifth child, it shouldn't be them. None of them have been able to spread such rumors in the city at the moment. As for the others...... "glanced at Concubine Wu Guifei, and the Queen Mother secretly thought: "Wu Guifei shouldn't be, Concubine Xian and Concubine Wen are good friends with Concubine Ning." There are a few lower positions left, and there is only the queen who thinks about it. ”

Thinking of the queen, Empress Dowager Chen looked unhappy.

I have to admit that the queen's level is far worse than that of Wu Guifei and others.

Wu Guifei and Jia Yuanchun, when they were at home, their targets were aimed at the palace. I learned to deal with various powerful families, and from time to time I would listen to my father and elders tell me some information about the government. Even if they don't know how to govern the government, they always have a little sensitivity. Silly white sweet, that's absolutely impossible.

But these are obviously not the things that small households learn. For eunuchs below the fourth grade, teaching their daughters will not focus on these royal families, but other eunuchs, most of them are managed by the back house or some means against the concubines.

Queen Wang is like this, Concubine Wen's background is not good, but Concubine Wen knows how to hide clumsy, Wen Wen quietly stood aside and jumped out of the fight, not fighting with the queen and others at all.

Wei Qian, if Jia Mei hadn't been born in Zhong Mingding's family, I'm afraid she would have learned things like Queen Wang. Looking at the back house, there is not much vision. But Jia Mei taught her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Jia Daishan taught her about the political situation. Therefore, Wei Qian's words and deeds are not inferior to these noble girls from everyone's background. Even because of Jia Daishan's teachings, it is still excessive.

The queen did it at the beginning, and the side room was not allowed to give birth until the main room was pregnant. In order to inherit the family business in a small family, this is not a big mistake. Sometimes the lord of the family also acquiesces to this method. But in the palace, this kind of thing can be done? Especially when Situ Yun's status is unstable and he needs his son the most.

will not judge the situation, which is the biggest shortcoming of Queen Wang.

It took a long time for Queen Wang to adapt to the life in the palace, and she learned to get along with a group of concubines little by little from her words and deeds. That's it, and there are a lot of jokes that are ridiculed.

After Situ Yun ascended the throne, those brothers were still a little contemptuous, so how much respect did their princess have for this new queen mother?

At the beginning, even Jia Mei couldn't look down on the queen's bearing, which can be seen from this.

Wu Guifei saw the Queen Mother's face and knew that the Queen Mother had figured it out. So, he made a gesture of wanting to speak and stopped: "Niangniang, the concubine is suspicious of ......" looked in the direction of Qingning Palace from time to time.

"Okay, isn't it Wang Jing's slut. I don't think about how to stabilize the harem, and I will cause trouble for the palace! The Queen Mother slapped the table fiercely: "This is for Concubine Ning?" This is to the main palace too! Isn't it just that I can't look down on the palace and take away her right to manage the palace? Who are you saying that we are working hard for? In the future, she will give birth to children, and the future will not be their mother and son? Now that I'm in such a hurry to jump out, this palace is not dead yet! ”

Wu Guifei said weakly: "After all, she is the mother of the middle palace, and it is also appropriate to look down on the concubine and her sister to be in charge of the palace." ”

"Zhonggong Niangniang, then take out the appearance of Zhonggong Niangniang. When Empress Ren was there, she was not so able to toss as well. How many sons and daughters did the emperor have? How many people are there in the palace now? If there is only one prince in the future, this palace will not be at ease even if he dies! ”

Empress Ren, the original partner of the Emperor Taishang, and the mother of the abolished prince.

"Empress Ren, that's the real heavenly temperament." Empress Dowager Chen praised it, and said: "Look at us, don't ask her to help Yun'er do something, just ask her not to cause trouble." But what's the deal now? At the beginning of the year, when the silkworm festival was held, I almost made a fool of myself in public. Later, when several old sisters talked about this in the palace, the palace blushed! The queen's bearing is not as good as your concubines. When the silkworm festival is held next year, the main palace is ready to go out to do errands in person! She is shameless, and the palace still has to save the royal face. ”

The first silkworm festival, a festival to worship the silkworm god. It was held by the queen's concubines and wives. As a result, I almost lost face at the beginning of this year, and a few old princesses secretly mentioned it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was embarrassed to see people.

"Come on, go and find Concubine Ning. This palace asks her questions! After Empress Dowager Chen vented, she ordered someone to find Wei Qian.

After Wei Qian arrived, she saw that the Queen Mother couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly went up to soothe her: "Niangniang, this is ......"

"Did you hear the news from outside?"

"Niangniang also knows?" Wei Qian saw that the Queen Mother was angry, and knew that the Queen Mother was anxious for herself. With a void in his heart, he hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, Niangniang, this matter has already been told to His Majesty." His Majesty said that he was in charge. ”

"Yun'er knows? Well, you can concentrate on this conference. This outside matter is handed over to Concubine Wu to investigate, and the palace wants to see which palace people dare to spread this kind of rumor! ”

That's me. Wei Qian muttered silently in her heart, and said with a respectful look on her face: "The concubine has prepared all kinds of rare treasures, which can attract people from all over the world to come." ”

After a pause, Wei Qian said again: "The concubine grew up in the temple since she was a child, and she has a good relationship with a group of sisters. Now at the conference, I want to invite my sisters to a gathering. ”

"Master Lingyun?" The Queen Mother has a good impression of Lingyun: "Yun'er is also thanks to them for saving her." Now since it is a temple sealed by the imperial court, it can be invited together. ”

Wei Qian got the Queen Mother's reply and was sure in her heart, so she immediately went back and asked Hongchun to pass the message outside. Please Lingyun and others go to Beijing, and invite those fellow disciples of the Tianguang Divine Palace by the way.

"This time, our Lishan faction fights the method, and it happens to be in Lishan. Reunite in Lishan, and then show up in front of the world's Taoists, and play the banner of our Lishan faction. Wei Qian was ambitious, and went to the Treasure Hall to pick up a few magic weapon treasures suitable for Taoist cultivation.

In the previous dynasty, Situ Yun was furious: "What does the Admiral of the Nine Gates do to eat!" And the people of Shuntianfu, you just let the rumors spread? ”

The two ministers hurriedly came out: "The ministers are guilty." ”

Several Shangshu watched coldly. Although the rumors in the city are a bit outrageous, it would be good if Concubine Ning's momentum could be suppressed, wouldn't it?

Scholar Mei was listed: "Your Majesty, although the rumors in the city are absurd and market-like, they are also the aspirations of the people. Since ancient times, harem politics have been the bane. ”

"Aren't you tired of talking about the old tunes of college scholars?" Jia Lian sneered: "The matter of Jinling is arranged by His Majesty, and the Empress Dowager is gracious." Concubine Ning Niangniang stepped forward, are you saying that your majesty is not in accordance with the rules? Throughout the ages, are there many virtuous concubines, or are there many demon concubines? ”

"Enough, there is no need to mention this matter again, Shuntianfu Yin listens to the order, I really don't want this rumor to be heard tomorrow." Situ Yun ordered to go down and talk about another thing.

"The Emperor Taishang thinks about Taoism, and is ready to invite the world's masters to discuss the art of Huang Lao, what do you think?"

Yesterday when we discussed this matter, someone said: "Since ancient times, since the three teachings are one family, since we want to talk about the Tao, why not refer to the two ways of Confucianism and Buddhism together?" ”

Scholar Mei stepped forward again: "Taoism is quiet and inactive, and the Han Dynasty can govern the country with Huang Lao." But they never heard of the rule of law by the Shamen. There is a saying that the country is open and prosperous, and the Buddha is rejuvenated in troubled times. ”

"The words of the scholar are wrong, Buddhism leads people to goodness, why is it not an authentic one?" Several ministers with their hearts to Buddhism stood up. There are also four princes who can't help nodding: "Buddhism advocates six purities, the heart is good, and it can also educate the people." ”

"But when the time comes, everyone will turn to the Buddha, who will cultivate and who will give birth?"

The controversy between Buddhism and Taoism has existed since ancient times, and it is impossible to distinguish between high and low. Situ Yun listened to the sound on the dragon throne for a while, and simply clapped: "Since this is the case, then recruit people from Taoism and Buddhism in the world to talk about the Tao." Let's argue in public! ”
