Chapter 259: The Way of Civil and Martial Arts
"This ......"
Huang Cui was speechless for a while, men are really animals who think with their lower bodies, and some things can't be bought with more silver, she glanced sideways at the courtyard again, and it happened that Wan Rong also raised her head, the two girls looked at each other, Wan Rong nodded lightly and put on a smiling face again, and her body moved a little closer to Zhao Goutong.
If you are bored, three days are like three years, every minute is torment, but if there is a beautiful woman around you to talk and smile, these three days will pass quickly.
Zhao Goutong has not opened any books in the past few days, but just stayed in Wanrong's courtyard day and night, eating and practicing the piano together, and in the eyes of outsiders, they have become a respectful husband and wife.
Sun Siyu has never set foot elsewhere in the prefect's mansion, but he came to the courtyard with a familiar car, and bowed slightly to Zhao Goutong, Zhao Goutong saw Mr. visiting, and then couldn't care about chatting with the beauties around him, so he hurriedly chased after him.
The master and apprentice walked in the huge mansion, Sun Siyu was expressionless, and Zhao Gou followed behind with his head down like a child who had done something bad.
Sun Siyu asked without looking back: "How are you looking at the Jimin Scripture these days?" β
Zhao Goutong didn't dare to lie, and returned frankly, "The student has been practicing the piano recently, but he hasn't entered a word, and he asks Mr. to punish him." β
The corners of Sun Siyu's mouth were hooked, but his tone was quite stern, "That's important knowledge about your future career." β
"The students understand that after these few days of desolation, they will catch up and make up for it day and night."
There was no word all the way, and when he walked straight to the deep garden, Sun Siyu stopped, and Zhao Goutong was also amazed that the prefect's mansion was so big, and it was almost half the hill of Ji Xuefu.
"There's nothing you want to say to me?"
Zhao Goutong pursed his lips, knowing that he couldn't hide it, he discussed: "Sir, I broke the vow...... Can I bring a woman into Beijing with me, I promise my husband that I will never disturb my career as an official. β
"Breaking the ring?"
Sun Siyu sneered, "It's just a woman, you are not a monk, seven emotions and six desires, do you know why I let you live in luxury?" β
"In order for students not to be infected by these things in the future, I have the original intention."
Sun Siyu shook his head, "There are some such relationships in it, but it doesn't matter much, what I want you to know most is that your life may be like this every day in the future, and whether you will start well for the people, stand out for the poor scholars, and will not forget where you came from." β
Zhao Goutong let out a sigh of relief, "The student naturally doesn't dare to forget, to be honest, the student doesn't have a good impression of luxury life, and the only good impression is the woman who is knowledgeable." β
"Do you know who that woman is?"
"Wind and dust girl, but what's the matter, the student thinks that she is a candidate who can be a good wife, at least when I am away, I will preside over the affairs of the family, but ask right and wrong."
Sun Siyu smiled, "You are fascinated by her, it's just your own business, you make your own decisions, I only care about whether it is feasible for me to put the future of the world's poor families and the future of the Ji Academy on you." β
"Feasible!"
Zhao Goutong said firmly, "The student was born in cloth, and naturally understands that it is even more difficult for a poor scholar to get ahead, these days of extravagant life, if it is not for meeting Mr., the student will not be able to enjoy such a blessing in this life, and those who are only eight buckets but hidden in the world are even more so, so the student is determined to use my hands to open a door for future generations!" β
Sun Siyu frowned with joy, "What gate?" β
"Let them have a worry-free life for high-ranking officials, and let them guide the country to ask for orders for the people to do things fairly and selflessly."
"Good!"
Sun Siyu said heavily, "I've worked hard these days, but it's too much!" β
Zhao Goutong smiled, "Don't do much, the student won't find the person he wants." β
Sun Siyu looked at Zhao Gou Tong for a long time and laughed!
In the beginning of summer, the weather is getting warmer, everything is recovering, Zhao Goutong of Dongzhou Ji went to school, and he took office as Langzhong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
The streets and alleys of the capital are full of people, and the peddlers and pawns are walking through the four cities, shouting and selling the objects in their hands, tired and panting, and they are also looking at the local snakes in other cities, they also want to take root, but the price of the title deed in the capital is getting more and more expensive, in the words of the people in the market after tea and dinner, that is, the grain can rise for half a month every day.
At the South City Gate of Gyeonggi, two bald monks, one big and one small, came today, one older and one very ordinary, neither a hidden monk in a white robe, nor a monk in a yellow and green shawl, not to mention the abbot in a big red robe, just a simple gray monk's robe, the little monk wore a bright one, and only a gray robe wrapped in a purple shawl.
The two monks strolled leisurely on the streets of Nancheng, the people all lowered their eyes at a glance, the older monk was still wearing the gray robe of the novice, in their eyes, either a fake monk or a real liar pretending to be a monk, the little monk was probably also used by the old monk as a tool for abduction.
Ignoring the world's gaze, they just looked ahead and walked slowly with their hands folded.
At this time, at the end of the street, there was a rush of horses' hooves and the screams of the people, the old monk shook his head, and recited a Buddha horn lightly, his voice was delicate and clear, not at all like a half-twilight old man.
"I wanted to go all the way to the palace, but I didn't expect to make such a big move."
The little novice on the side scratched his head, "Master, isn't His Majesty the Emperor quite polite in this way?" β
The old monk chuckled lightly and did not answer, how did this little apprentice know what was going on.
The sound of horses' hooves is gradual, Nancheng is the residential area of dignitaries, among which there are some gentlemen, but under today's strict and harsh system, there are very few gentlemen who dare to ride horses and disturb the people on the street.
The horses neighed, and it was only a moment before they walked in front of the two monks, and this group of people who were riding horses and disturbing the people saw that they were not dressed as the second ancestor, all of them were wearing imposing black armor, and there was a long red cloak behind them, and the horses under their crotch looked bigger than ordinary horses.
Some of the shopkeepers who had seen the world hurriedly returned to the house to evade, these people were even more difficult to deal with than the gentlemen, they were the Imperial City Defenders and the Imperial Forest Army!
I saw that the first person turned over and dismounted, bowed and said solemnly: "The last general is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial Palace, and he is here to greet the abbot of the Guanzen Temple, the holy monk Mingxin and the little master of the secret hall. β
"Amitabha, the old monk took the apprentice to meet the great commander."
The little monk saluted with the master and looked at the large group of people stupidly.
In the Xuanyuan Palace, Li Rushi, Wang Zhike, and Li Qianmin sat on both sides, as if waiting for something.
Li Ru raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes swept to Dao Tong's restless fingers, and he chuckled and quipped: "Wang Zhangjiao, is it possible that the arrival of the Mingxin Holy Monk has added a little pressure to you?" Rest assured, I don't like the new and hate the old. β
Wang Zhike noticed that his fingers were beating indiscriminately on the table, and he said apologetically: "Please forgive your majesty, poor Dao is not afraid of that bald donkey, but there will be a quarrel later." β
"It's better not to have a quarrel or something, I have already sent someone to greet the holy monk, I don't want the Buddha head and the Taoist system to quarrel again, so that I will have one less person to help."
Li Ru stared at Wang Zhike with a shallow smile on his face, and the latter bowed slightly, "Poor Dao knows the severity." β
Li Ru sighed softly, and said without hesitation: "Sun Siyu, the great Confucian, has exhausted the benefits and pulled it by his side, as long as he stands on my side for a while, his purpose of entering the poor door can go further, and the Taoist of Wang Zhangjiao is also on my side, as long as I am still on the side of the Great Zhou, I will not let Qingyang Mountain fall, only the Buddha head of the Guanzen Temple remains, I still don't know the geometry of its position, if I can also stand on my side, I really don't have to be afraid of Qi Dehuang." β
Wang Zhike nodded, "Poor Dao knows His Majesty's good intentions, but Poor Dao still has something to say. β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"It is a fortunate thing that the three religions can survive two religions, there is no precedent for the coexistence of the three religions from ancient times to the present, first, the temple is pure and has few desires and does not need to compete with others, and there is no need for any recognition, and secondly, Buddhism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the number of people is very large, so it is natural to be able to prosper forever.
Li Ru let out a puzzled "oh" after hearing this, "I just don't believe in this evil, if I let his Buddhism belong to my Li family, then I have achieved something unprecedented before, if they still want to be alone, then I will have to discuss the wheel of the wheel, whether Buddhism is left or destroyed, it is just a sentence of mine." β
Li Qianmin looked up at his father, and he suddenly understood one thing, if his father really sent someone to Guanchan Temple to pick up the two holy monks for the sake of etiquette, it would be more obvious that he liked him, rather than sending the imperial forest army to meet him under the city.
The father is admonishing, and there is even a bit of warning in it, so that the old monk Mingxin is on the way to weigh it carefully.
Wang Zhike smiled bitterly, Your Majesty's idea is too extreme, either the three religions are in the hands of his Li family, or they can be destroyed directly, although there has been no emperor to unify the three religions since ancient times, but there is no emperor who can completely destroy the one religion.
Let's talk about Confucianism first, there are tens of millions of protΓ©gΓ©s, which literate people are not half Confucian? Then Taoism and Buddhism, one of the two believes in the Eastern immortals, the other believes in the Western Buddha, although there are differences, but after all, they are both beliefs, and faith is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even these two sects have a more profound impact on the people than the Great Zhou. It is impossible for the three religions to completely erase one of them, and they can only let it rise and fall in the long river of history, but it will never perish.
Wang Zhike said: "Although I have a lot of complaints about the old bald donkey, I still hope that Your Majesty can unify the three religions and return to the heart." β
Li Ru smiled loudly, "My world must be under my control, otherwise I can still strangle any force no matter how influential you are." β
Without waiting for Wang Zhike to say anything more, Li Ru didn't mention this stubble again, he looked at Li Qianmin, "Min'er, I asked you to go to the owner of Wujian Villa and the head of Qianxuan Mountain, do you have a clue?" β
Li Qianmin shook his head lightly, "The killing spirit of the people in the rivers and lakes is too heavy, and the female owner didn't even see me, but just sent a deputy owner to come forward to welcome the guests, but between the lines, it is also the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the court is in charge of the court, not to mention Qianxuanshan, I only saw a few Taoist children." β
Li Ru's eyes instantly became gloomy, and he sneered: "This group of people in the rivers and lakes is a little arrogant, you can't see the true face of Lushan when you enter the prince's house, so this means that I want to go on a trip myself." β
Wang Zhike was shocked, these Jianghu sects naturally have their pride, and it is reasonable that they don't want to be controlled by the imperial court to be an eagle dog of the imperial court, but Li Ru's tone is tone is full of murderous aura, if His Majesty really has the intention of destroying them, this Great Zhou Jiangshan can be embattled and precarious, he hurriedly got up and asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, is there some misunderstanding in this?" β
Li Qianmin stared at Wang Zhike, and saw a deep jealousy in the eyes of this Qingyang Mountain Daoist, he also thought of the stakes, and said: "Father, don't be angry, the owner of Wujian Mountain Villa is in retreat, so her junior brother will welcome the guests on her behalf, her junior brother's words can't represent her, wait for the retainer to go again, and ask carefully." That Qianxuanshan Zhangjiao went out to travel, and there were only a few old Taoist priests left in the mountains who had not seen guests for decades, so Erchen just saw a few Taoist children who were not light or serious. β
