Chapter 116: The Great Event of Buddhism
Li Yi smiled indifferently and said: "I can't be a prince or anything, the deep palace compound, the royal exquisiteness, and pomp, I am afraid that being the prince may not be more at ease than now." ”
"I think it's good now, and it's my greatest wish to have the opportunity to benefit the people of Lebanon."
Le Fan echoed: "Yes! Li Dashuai is resourceful and far-sighted, and has the people of the world in mind, which is really a blessing for the people! ”
"Even if you are not the prince, given time, even if you are a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, it is not a problem. When the time comes, we will have to be taken care of by Li Dashuai. Ha ha! Ha ha! ”
Shao Tingjuan also nodded: "Hmm! I think Li Dashuai's future future is indeed limitless! ”
"From what he did today, it can be seen that Lord Li's treatment of the common people is sincere, tepid, and there is a feeling of being easy to grasp and familiar with, and he is really very old-fashioned as an official."
"Don't dare to say anything else, isn't the future post of prime minister for Lord Li! I don't think anyone else can snatch it. ”
Li Yi only smiled slightly, didn't say more, but poured wine for everyone, and greeted him politely: "Let's sit together, the picture is a pleasure, those things are still far away!" We still drink good wine to be happy. ”
"Come, two adults, let's drink this cup together, and wish the Holy Dragon good health, longevity and good health."
Everyone agreed and drank the wine in the glass together.
Shao Tingjuan put down his wine glass and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not said, it is still as fierce as it was back then, this is his old man's years of fighting on the battlefield and beating and training, but ordinary young people can't compare." ”
"What's more, Your Majesty now attaches equal importance to Buddhism and Taoism, concentrating on self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and has built countless palaces and Buddhist temples, and has done a lot of good deeds to worship the Buddha and respect the heavens.
"In particular, there are Taoist monks such as Master Lumin and Master Wen Yan, who have done several grand rituals for His Majesty, which made His Majesty's dragon heart happy, and successively crowned the two as national teachers to protect the country, which can be said to be honorable."
"And Your Majesty has promised great kindness, and is ready to build twenty-eight temples around Xingwangfu to become the virtue of the Buddha, and the current prosperity of Buddhism is unparalleled."
Although Taoism is not as glorious as Buddhism, it is also a time of great prosperity that is rare in a century. Mo Daochang, the head of the Baiyun Temple in Luofu Mountain, you know, he is also Li Pian's master, and now he is also highly valued by the emperor. ”
"Your Majesty gave him the title of Mysterious Xuanwei Zhenren, costing tens of millions of dollars to build a huge palace, and Qingwei Taoism can be said to be extremely prosperous."
The more Li Yi listened, the more shocked he became, and said in his heart, how much does it cost to waste the people's fat and people's ointment for these actions of working the people and hurting money! A palace will cost tens of millions, dozens of buildings will be built, how can there be so much money in the treasury!
In the end, it will still be apportioned to the heads of the common people, and the lives of the common people will not be even worse!
Li Yi thought in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he had to nod and smile: "Buddhism is prosperous, but it is a thousand years of luck!" I am also preparing to build a large temple here to hold the Yunnan Buddhist Temple Niuer, although it is not as good as the Nanhua Temple in the capital, the scale is also reasonable. ”
"In particular, the 18-meter-high stone statue of the Buddha is second to none in Yunnan. If the two envoys are interested, we will go over tomorrow to have a look, and I wonder if we can still enter the eyes of the two lords! ”
Shao Tingjuan was stunned and smiled: "Oh! There is such a grand event in Yunnan, and I will go over tomorrow to see it, and when I go back, I can tell His Majesty so that his old man will be happy. ”
However, Yunnan has been plagued by natural and man-made disasters recently, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so where can she have the money to build a temple? Hey! It can't be that Sun Thief stolen silver! ”
Li Yi saw Shao Tingjuan's words, and pretended to be helpless and said: "What Shao Gong's envoy said is right, now Yunnan is in ruins, it can be said that there is a shortage of everything, and the income from the copper mine will not be realized in a few months." Although building a Buddhist temple is a good deed, I have no heart, but where can I get money? ”
"So I had to take out a part of the stolen money of the Sun thief first, which not only relieved the victims, but also built a Buddhist temple, which can be said to be a good deed that kills two birds with one stone."
"Alas! Shao Gong Envoy is right, 'It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice', and I have no way to do it. Your Majesty, I also wrote a chapter to make it clear, if he is held accountable, I have no choice but to stretch my head and be disciplined. ”
"In short, I have already spent this money anyway, and I have to be punished and punished, so I have to resign myself to fate."
Shao Tingjuan laughed when he heard this: "Runzhi! You're so pampered! ”
"Huh! In fact, after seeing your recital, His Majesty not only did not get angry, but praised you fiercely. ”
"Say that you have the courage and courage to even spend the stolen money of the Sun thief, and you will not sell the whole country in the future. Of course, this is a joke made by His Majesty. ”
"When I came, Your Majesty had already told me that at present, the Nanxun Palace and Zhaoyang Palace are under construction, and there is a lack of pearls and jade embellishments, so you can hand over all the gold, silver, jewelry and other things of the Sun thief to me to bring back to the capital, and other money and silk and other things will be used at your own discretion in Yunnan. This time, you can rest assured! ”
Li Yi smiled slightly, and said in his heart, didn't this big head return to the imperial court!
These projects in the capital are extravagant, I don't know how many Yunnan fathers and elders can be fed! But how dare you say it in your heart.
Hurriedly said humbly: "The emperor is still considerate of his subordinates, the last time Zhong Xu and them entered Beijing, they have already donated some of the gold, silver, pearls and jade of the Sun thief, and of course, a large number of gold and silver utensils have been sealed. When the two envoys return to Beijing, they will be presented in full. ”
Le Fan next to him interjected with a smile: "Your Majesty's treatment of Li Dashuai is different!" If it is put on someone else, I am afraid that this kind of thing is possible to be demoted and convicted! ”
"It's not me saying that this kind of money is not spent in vain! Spending money for the people is well spent and worth it! Hehe! ”
Although Li Yi didn't like to see this golden-looking guy, he also knew that this guy was a prominent figure among the eunuchs in the late Southern Han Dynasty, and he couldn't easily offend him unless he had to.
Li Yi picked up his wine glass and smiled at Le Fan: "Father-in-law Le, borrowing your kind words, I, Li Yi, don't know how to express my gratitude." This is the first time you and I have been drinking, let me toast you two glasses, and talk about Li Yi's admiration! Please! ”
As he spoke, Li Yi raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and looked at Le Fan with a smile to see how he behaved.
Although this Le Fan is also from the inner court of the fifth grade, how can he compare with Li Yi, a local magistrate with the emperor's grace.
Although the amount of alcohol is indeed limited, under Li Yi's emotional offensive, he can't help but be a little flattered, although the wine is strong, he has no choice but to pour the wine down, and soon an unnatural look appeared on his face.
