Xuanzang was silent for a moment, and then recited the Buddha's name loudly, and then slowly spoke, saying: "In the past, the Buddha became enlightened, and the demons were born, and they went through thousands of disasters and hardships. It is like the beginning of a great country, the horses are handsome, and the bones are exposed. ”

Wu Mei was a little dazed, and asked tentatively: "Master, are you saying that my daughter died for me?" ”

"The little princess is also the protector of the Dharma." After Xuanzang finished speaking, he recited the Buddha again, Wu Mei burst into tears and was depressed.

Yuan Ziyan broke the dull atmosphere and suggested: "Master, there is also a weight in translating the scriptures, so let's pick the scarce ones in our Central Plains first." After the translation, it is not limited to just circulating in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism has no boundaries, and it should also be Pudu sentient beings. ”

"The national teacher is saying that it can be spread overseas?" Xuanzang said with some excitement.

"There are many countries with which we are currently befriended, and if we can all hear the Dharma, the Venerable Master will also be a great merit."

Several people have religious roots, and they have a special topic when they get together, and they have a hot conversation. Wu Mei is particularly prominent, although she is the mother of the world, but she has good knowledge and is humble, and Xuanzang Xuanyin has a good impression of her. Even Xuanzang plans to ask the queen to preface the scriptures that are currently being translated in the future.

Wu Mei was overjoyed, the preface, that is, the introduction before a book, can preface the Buddhist scriptures, what an honor, Wu Mei gladly accepted.

Life in the temple is very simple, two meals a day, no food at noon, meditation at night or early rest, and Xuanzang is a candle to translate the scriptures, which is very hard.

If there were more young and talented monks like the debater, Xuanzang's workload would be reduced a lot. this day. Yuan Ziyan was walking in the temple and saw the door of Xuanzang's house open, and the lights inside were bright. And he knocked at the door.

Seeing that it was the arrival of the national teacher, Xuanzang hurriedly got up to greet him, both of them were old friends, and he spoke more relaxedly: "Thank you for the glasses given by the national teacher, the old eyes are dizzy, and without it, I am afraid that half of the scriptures will not be translated." ”

"Mage. But the glasses are broken? Yuan Ziyan asked, because Xuanzang always held the scriptures from a distance, as if he didn't bring them.

"I cherish it. It has not been damaged, and the lenses are slightly blurry. ”

"I'll see."

Xuanzang took off his glasses and handed them over, and Yuan Ziyan put them in his hand. It can be seen that Xuanzang cherishes this very much. There are also eighty percent new, but they are overused, and the power of the eyes has deepened a lot, so the role of the glasses is reduced.

Yuan Ziyan immediately ordered to go down and order the skilled craftsmen in the palace to expedite the production of new glasses according to the latest drawings and designs, and then send them to the Great Ci'en Temple.

Xuanzang was grateful. Because of the severe blindness, I left the glasses. I can't even read it properly, let alone translate it.

"Mage, I took the liberty of disturbing late at night, but I actually wanted to avoid everyone's eyes and ears and come to talk to the mage about Wu Mei." Yuan Ziyan said directly.

"Queen?"

"Yes." Yuan Ziyan nodded and said, "The mage is erudite and talented, and must also be proficient in physiognomy. ”

"Don't hide it from the national teacher, Xuanzang has never seen such a good appearance so far, rich and boundless, and quite majestic, I'm afraid it is unimaginable." Xuanzang said truthfully.

"Master, such strange women are the reincarnation of the Buddha, if Princess Anding is also Wu Mei's protector, I believe that there will be others who are willing to help her." Yuan Ziyan said meaningfully.

"Amitabha!" Xuanzang said lightly: "The queen is kind-hearted, and she has the help of heaven, and the poor monks naturally help each other. ”

Yuan Ziyan nodded with satisfaction, Wu Mei is a woman, she has no illustrious family background, no outstanding merits, and if she can get support from religion, her future strength will also be amazing.

The reason why Master Xuanzang happily agreed was because he saw Wu Mei's Huigen, just as Yuan Ziyan decided, was the reincarnation of the Buddha. And Wu Mei happens to have the experience of becoming a monk, these are extremely favorable religious conditions, so even a monk like Xuanzang is willing to help.

Needless to say, Xuanyin will definitely support Yuan Ziyan.

Under the precipitation of listening to the scriptures and chanting and the morning bell and dusk drums, Wu Mei's impetuous heart gradually stabilized, and then rebuilt her daughter's mausoleum, and added stone statues such as attendants and palace maids, and felt a lot more relaxed.

Yuan Ziyan and Wu Mei were both outside the palace, above the court, and they also began to move.

"Your Majesty, Zhongshu Shilang Li Yifu, buy the justice of Dali Temple, release a beautiful sinner, and take her as a concubine, I implore Your Majesty to punish it severely!" The palace of Wang Yifang of the imperial history loudly impeached Li Yifu.

Li Yifu is a new upstart in the court, which originated from his active promotion of the canonization of the Empress Wu, when Li Zhi was stuck with the ministers for this matter, and it was Li Yifu who reversed the pattern and gave Li Zhi a big step.

Although he knew that there was something wrong with Li Yifu, Li Zhi still deliberately promoted him, and successively promoted and rewarded him, in fact, he wanted to use Li Yifu to deter the court, and at the same time suppress the Guanlong clan headed by the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Your Majesty!" Li Yifu was stunned at the time, thinking that this matter would be done seamlessly, but he didn't expect to be denounced in the end, and now it has been exposed, this is a capital crime! Therefore, Li Yifu resolutely couldn't admit it, kept kowtowing, and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Wang said is not true. The woman was indeed arrested for her crimes, but it was later found to be an unjust case. After he was released, the minister met him by chance, when he was unkempt and unclothed, begging along the street, and still being spat on and throwing vegetable leaves. The minister was moved by compassion, took him in, and did some chores in the house. The woman repays her kindness, and she must promise it with her body. Your Majesty, this is what happened, and I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

"Spread Dali Temple!" Li Zhi frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, Bi Zhengyi suddenly committed suicide some time ago, and the minister thought that there was something strange in it, and he was killed!" Wang Yifang insisted.

"Lord Wang, you can't talk nonsense, don't you have evidence?" Li Yifu asked dissatisfiedly.

"Hmph, Dali Temple Cheng died mysteriously soon after Lord Li married Mei Jiaoniang, and I have also visited everyone all over the world, all of whom said that he had a sudden windfall recently, and he had a lot of money, and he was nostalgic for Qinglou and other places. Doesn't Master Lee think there's anything to do with it? Wang Yifang was not to be outdone.

"Your Majesty, there are coincidences in this matter, but it cannot be based solely on Wang Yifang's words. The minister is loyal to His Majesty and the Queen, how can he destroy his future for the sake of a sinner woman. Your Majesty, someone has really framed you, minister, wronged! ”

"This matter must be investigated in detail!" Li Zhi's final attitude was like this.

Not long after, Wang Yifang was demoted to the position of Laizhou Sihu, but Li Yifu was safe and sound, and everyone muttered that the emperor was unfair, purely looking at the queen's face, and sighed. But at this point, there are fewer and fewer voices of opposition, and the ministers gradually understand a truth, no matter how close the relationship is, it can't be close to the husband and wife, and if you talk too much, it will be annoying.

When Yuan Ziyan heard about this incident after returning to the palace, he inevitably complained about Li Zhi, but Li Zhi's explanation was that although he knew that Li Yifu had it, he could use him to restrain others at this time, which was also a helpless move.

Yuan Ziyan did not raise too many objections to this, but the courtiers' misunderstanding of Wu Mei continued to deepen, thinking that this was the queen's manipulation behind the scenes. Many things in the world are not explained clearly, and some situations can only be misunderstandings that continue to deepen.

Therefore, the women who were ambitious in history and eventually took power alone were evaluated differently by later generations. The ruthless Empress Lu of the Han Dynasty, the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi, but like Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty, are all respected women.

So what is the difference between the two historical women? It's nothing more than a private and a public, and it's yourself in your heart, or the people of the world.

Dali Cheng's bizarre death has aroused countless reveries, and the first problem that needs to be faced is that this position is vacant. This is the position of the President of the High Court, which has a lot of power and should be chosen very carefully.

Therefore, in the next court, many people recommended the suitable candidates they thought were varied, most of them were nobles, and they were related to the ministers of the dynasty.

"Mother-in-law, the position of Dali Cheng is very important, if you encounter a corrupt official like Bi Zhengyi again, the people will have grievances and be uncontrollable." Wu Mei looked at a large number of recommended performances and had a headache.

"Wu Mei, I have a suitable candidate, I guarantee that it will work." Yuan Ziyan said with a smile.

"The vision of the stepmother, Bollywood naturally believes. I don't know which one? ”

"Jinyang person Di Renjie!"

"Di Renjie?" Wu Mei looked dazed, and didn't seem to know much about this little person: "Mother-in-law, why have I never heard of this person." ”

"Di Renjie relied on his own ability to be admitted to the Ming Economic Department, earlier served as the judge of Bianzhou, and later because of his outstanding political achievements, he is now the governor of the state and the governor of the law, his person is fair, and he is like a god in judging cases, and he can take on this position." Yuan Ziyan explained.

Wu Mei nodded again and again, and said sincerely: "I never expected that my stepmother knew everything about the officials in the world, and Bollywood thought that she knew it in her chest, but she was still ashamed of herself in front of her stepmother. ”

"Hehe, I don't have to see me. Paula, I suggest that you nominate this person to Your Majesty, and Di Renjie can also be used by you in the future. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Mother-in-law, if she is faithful, how can she be used?" Wu Mei was a little puzzled.

"It's wrong to use the word utilization, could it be that I was used by the first emperor, and you were used by Zhi'er? Things gather by like, people by groups, Pauling, only by strengthening these capable people, can we continue to improve ourselves. Otherwise, it is just above the stupid, how can we talk about progress? ”

Wu Mei suddenly realized, bowed to Wu Mei gratefully, and then strongly recommended Di Renjie in the court the next day. Because it was recommended by the queen, even if some people knew about Di Renjie, they would feel sensitive and think that the queen was cultivating her own power.

Li Zhi was also not too familiar with Di Renjie, but seeing that Yuan Ziyan also agreed, he happily agreed. Because Li Zhi believes that both women are devoted and conscientious to Datang. (To be continued......)
