Chapter 558: I, I think of someone
The Queen Mother raised her wrist, showed it to the old emperor, and said:
Of course, this is different, the seven treasures of Buddhism are also called the seven treasures, which are clams, agate, crystal, coral, amber, pearls, and pearls, which can ward off calamities, bless the body and mind, and calm the mind.
The mourning family has been wearing it for a few days, and it has been clearly perceived, it is easy to fall asleep at night, and there is no problem with heart palpitations, perhaps because these seven treasures have been opened. ”
The old emperor didn't say anything more, after all, the queen mother looked really in good spirits, and the whole person was happy and didn't see anything different, but he still had a trace of worry in his heart, thinking of the old emperor who was Mrs. Wen raised his eyes and said:
"I heard that this was sent by the wife of Wen Changming, the political envoy of Fujian, so I will invite you to come over tomorrow and listen to Monk Jin Yi's lecture together!"
The Queen Mother didn't think much about it, "No need, when she entered the palace that day to ask for peace, she said that she would leave the next day, and she should have returned to Fujian at this moment." ”
The old emperor looked clear, and then chatted with the queen mother.
......
The next day, the Baohe Hall was full of people, and the Queen Mother had a smile on her face, constantly chatting with Concubine Shugui.
The emperor also had a look on his face, after all, coaxing the old lady to be happy, this is something he is willing to do in his heart, because he is also old, especially when he sees that Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother are so close, he is quite comforted.
Stretched out his hand and squeezed Concubine Shu's hand, leaned forward and said in a low voice:
"There are people I miss for my concubine, you gave birth too hastily before, and you didn't have time to prepare for me at all, and now Chang'er has passed a hundred days, and on the occasion of his birthday, we have to take a good look."
Concubine Shu originally smiled at the Queen Mother, but when she heard the four words of the person she missed, she paused slightly, and then turned to look at the old emperor.
She pouted and snorted, and the old emperor was stunned, not knowing what she said to make the beauty impatient, but in the palace, this little goblin dared to be so unreasonable to herself.
The old emperor deliberately kept a straight face, lowered his voice and asked:
"What is this doing, don't I dare to punish you, people are not big and temperamental, I ask you this, don't I want you to see the old man?"
Concubine Shu tidied up her clothes, glanced at the Queen Mother, and then said:
"The concubine's hometown is far away in Goryeo, and my father of the Li family is only one of my daughters, but my uncle's family is prosperous, but since childhood, the concubine has lived with her father in Daliang, and she doesn't understand a word of Goryeo, and her parents have been dead for many years at this moment, who does Your Majesty want me to catch up with?"
Concubine Shu said and said, her face looked a little lonely, she dragged the queen mother's hand, lowered her eyes slightly, the queen mother glanced at the old emperor, just now she understood, the emperor's son began to be suspicious again.
"Why did the emperor provoke her, the girl grew up in the capital since she was a child, and I grew up watching her, although her father is a proton, it is also a matter of the previous generation."
The old emperor didn't blow up, and hurriedly saluted the queen mother, after all, he was going to coax the queen mother to be happy today, why did he mention the matter of the concubine just now, and his face looked a little annoyed.
"Don't worry about the queen mother, it's all the fault of the sons!"
Saying this, the voice was not small, the ministers below all looked upward, and several imperial historians and research officials kept nodding, after all, the emperor lowered his posture, and in front of his mother, he said that filial piety was the first, which was what they admired the most.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and these courtiers had already stood up one after another to pay respects.
"Your Majesty's filial piety is grateful to the sky, long live my emperor, long live!"
With a smile on his face, the old emperor motioned for everyone to get up.
No matter what era, licking the dog will be looked at differently, no matter what the ending is, at least the current old emperor is still very satisfied with these courtiers.
"Aiqing is all flat, I think you all know that there is a Jinyi monk in the capital, he went to Tianzhu from the sea to learn the scriptures, and returned to my Daliang country to open the altar to preach the scriptures, and it happened that the Wa Kingdom sent a monk to discuss the law and debate the scriptures, and came to pass on the Jinyi monk to meet him."
With a sound of communication, a person slowly walked in outside the hall, a light gray monk's robe, the pulp had been washed white, and a red robe was obliquely draped outside, on which the shape of a square brick was embroidered with gold silk and gold scales.
Holding a Zen staff in his right hand and a string of Buddhist beads hanging in his left hand, the difference compared to yesterday is that today he brought a crown of Pilu, walking slowly but with his own aura, and was not shocked by the gaze of the eunuchs and princes above this hall.
Slowly came to the front of the high staircase, standing one hand on his chest.
"Amitabha, the monk Jin Yi of Baohua Temple see Your Majesty, see the Queen Mother."
There was no kneeling, no excessive rhetoric, just bowing with his eyes down, and reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth.
The old emperor seemed to have been mentally prepared and didn't think too much about it, after all, these people were outsiders.
"I heard that you went south alone from Fujian to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, but I don't know if you brought back the true scriptures? Did the journey go well? ”
Monk Jin Yi bowed slightly, and then said:
"Thank you for Your Majesty's care, the poor monk is not completely walking south, there are lay disciples of Baohua Temple on the way, only after entering Fuzhou, he walked to the pier, waiting for the merchant ship to and from Tianzhu, and took the merchant ship to Tianzhu.
When he arrived in Tianzhu, because of the language barrier, the poor monk studied Sanskrit and various scriptures with Master Jie Chan in Landa Temple, and returned to Fuzhou three years later with the thirteen volumes of scriptures he had studied and translated.
When I arrived in Fuzhou, because I carried a large number of scriptures, it was not conducive to transportation, so I could only start preaching along the way, and then let the local monastery help the poor monks to transfer, so that I was able to return to Beijing, although it was not as long as the time of the great master in Tianzhu, but also brought back thirteen volumes of scriptures, and wanted to enshrine in the Baohua Temple to inherit the world. ”
The old emperor waved his hand at Fang Jizhong, asked him to get the most complete map of the sea realm, and after unfolding it, he motioned for the Jinyi monk to step forward.
Monk Jin Yi understood the old emperor's intentions at a glance, but this map was not complete, the sea area above was not marked, and there was no corresponding country on the south side, so he hurriedly bowed down and said:
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has a hand-drawn map here, although it is not very exquisite, but it is more vast, and it can show some countries and island forms in the southern seas, and the poor monk has already marked them with Chinese characters."
Saying this, the monk Jin Yi didn't say much, reached out and opened the lock on the robe, shook it off, the robe fell, and it can be clearly seen on the inside, there is a white silk handkerchief sewn inside, and the details on it are words and graphics.
The old emperor got up and hurriedly walked down the steps, Monk Jin Yi had already spread this picture on the ground, the old emperor looked at it carefully, and found the position of the girder at a glance, the edge of the territory was exactly the same as the map in Fang Jizhong's hand.
Look at the coast again, sure enough, the further down the south side, there are some crooked countries, in the outer waters of these countries, there is a dotted line with arrows, this time the old emperor can see without the monk Jin Yi explaining, this is the route they sailed.
Looking at such a map, what the old emperor thought of was not about Monk Jin Yi, but full of thoughts, the feudal man that Zhou Heng said at the beginning seemed to come from the sea.
Although the route is different, now it seems that this ship can really be on the sea, and can transport other good things to Daliang, and Daliang can also sell unique goods to other countries, I remember Zhou Heng said, it seems that that person has a great attraction to the medicine of the Rejuvenation Hall.
Fang Jizhong called the old emperor on the side, he thought that the emperor seemed to be distracted, after all, in such a scene, distraction still damaged the image.
"Your Majesty!"
The old emperor smiled, nodded towards Jin Yi, and said indifferently:
"I think of a man who had been in contact with the merchants of the vassal kingdom before, and said that ships by sea could go directly to England and Spain from the route you mentioned! It is said that their weapons are very advanced, their crops are very abundant, and the trade of gold and silver is cheaper! ”
Monk Jin Yi, who was originally calm and relaxed, paused for a moment, he didn't expect that the emperor of the Great Liang Kingdom would know this, you must know that even if he talked about these things with the people who ran the shipping in Fujian, few people could know it, and this time his biggest reliance on returning to China was these, which made him a little stunned for a while.
"Amitabha, really happy, there is such a person, it really makes the poor monk a little surprised, I wonder if that one is lucky enough to let the poor monk see him?"
