Chapter 493: Crazy Move
Hongzhi's mood at this time can no longer be described as simple anger, since he was a child, he has never seen such a shameless person, and he is also a high-ranking official of the imperial court.
In the past, there were always people who said how abominable eunuchs were, but now that he has a personal experience, what else can he not do if a person who dares to even worry about the money of the temple?
At the beginning, Hongzhi thought it was a private behavior of the officers and soldiers, but after being chilled by Ye Xun for an afternoon, he finally understood that all this was actually done by Ye Xun's instructions, otherwise how could the officers and soldiers be so bold?
The great monk was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner, and he was full.
As soon as he saw Ye Xun coming in, he stood up with a calm face and asked, "Can my father-in-law give Lao Wei an explanation?" ”
Ye Xun looked at him up and down a few times as if he was meeting Hongzhi for the first time, and then said lightly: "Is the master talking to my father?" ”
"Ugh!"
Hongzhi obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to have this attitude, and he was almost stunned by Ye Xun's rhetorical question.
barely suppressed the anger in his heart before he said, "Does my father-in-law know about the theft of my Zhaojue temple property?" ”
"Is there such a thing? But the master came to Bengong because of this, I'm afraid he was in the wrong place, right? You should find the local government, but since you have found your father, you can't sit idly by, so be it! You make a list, and this prince will send a post to the new governor of Sichuan, asking him to send someone to solve the case."
When Ye Xun said such nonsense, his eyes didn't blink, as if it were true.
Hongzhi vigorously controlled the mouthful of old blood that was about to spew out, and said in a deep voice: "This matter was done by my father-in-law's subordinates, how can my father-in-law say that he doesn't know?" My father-in-law's move is really a great disrespect to my Buddha, and I ask my father-in-law to know about his way as soon as possible..."
Before Hongzhi finished speaking, Ye Xun's face turned cold.
"Master, everything must be evidenced, this father respects you as a senior monk, so he is so courteous, if you spray people like this, my father has no choice but to send off guests"
"You..."
Hongzhi was only trembling with anger, isn't this a scoundrel! With such a person, you can't make sense of it.
"A monk should be pure-hearted and have few desires, but he can be so attentive to those things, and my father is also wondering, are you a monk? The Buddha said that Pudu will live his life, have you monks ever done a beneficial thing for the country and the people? ”
"Alright, Master, please go back! This guild sent someone to investigate the case, come here, send off guests! ”
Ye Xun said that he would ignore the stunned Hongzhi again, turn around and leave, if the old monk is still obsessed, then stay as long as you want! Anyway, he won't take care of this great monk anymore.
Ye Xun obviously underestimated this great monk, and after going back, Hongzhi felt ashamed of his ancestors of the past dynasties, thought about it, and finally made a crazy decision.
Early the next morning, the living Buddha monks, including Ye Xun, received an invitation from Hongzhi, inviting everyone to watch the miracle in front of Zhaojue Temple at noon.
Ye Xun didn't want to go, he was about to enter Tibet, countless things were waiting for him, and he had time to deal with the monks.
But soon Sun Dong sent someone to report that Hongzhi had built a high platform in front of the temple gate, and the high platform was surrounded by firewood, and Hongzhi was sitting in the middle of the platform, looking like he was going to set himself on fire.
Hearing this news, Ye Xun couldn't help but be furious, these monks who are not diligent in their limbs and do not distinguish between grains and grains, they have said so much to them, and they don't learn from them, they still want to use this method to coerce themselves, thinking that in this way they can compromise themselves?
I didn't have time to think about it, so I went out and took a few guards and went straight to Zhaojue Temple.
Ye Xun does not believe in Buddhism, does not mean that others do not believe, after getting the news that Hongzhi is going to set fire to self-immolation, hundreds of people pilgrims and laymen have flocked to Zhaojue Temple.
In Ye Xun's heart, it is okay to have faith, but faith that has changed its flavor is not worth advocating.
But the people don't think so, donating money and materials to the temple is their own volition, and it is also a manifestation of sincerity, and the presiding abbot is equivalent to the incarnation of the Buddha, and disrespecting them is disrespecting the Buddha.
Unconsciously, Ye Xun's derogatory nicknames such as Broom Star, Tiansha Star, etc., spread among the people of Chengdu, and soon spread like the wind all over the country, and it was through this fuse that Ye Xun completely stood on the opposite side of the Middle Earth Temple.
When Ye Xun came to the outside of Zhaojue Temple, the temple was already crowded with people, and the monks in yellow robes and red lama robes kept persuading around.
In addition to firewood, the monks of Zhaojue Temple were also seated around the high platform, and the high platform was firmly guarded in the middle, so that people who wanted to persuade could not get close to the high platform at all.
"Senior Brother Hongzhi, why are you doing this? Is there anything you can't say well! ”
"Yes, master, you come down first, let's say something slowly"...
The voices of persuasion came and went, but Hongzhi sat in the stage as if he had not heard it, looking at his solemn appearance, he really looked like a monk.
"Grandpa Ye has arrived!"
A shout suddenly calmed down the noisy noises around him, and the crowd in front of Ye Xun automatically separated into a passage.
Ye Xun's face sank like water, but he didn't even get off the horse, urging the horse to move forward slowly, and soon came to the high platform.
Hongzhi was obviously waiting for Ye Xun, and after hearing the voice, he finally opened his eyes, looked at Ye Xun in the audience and smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Father-in-law's words yesterday are like morning bells and dusk drums, which make Lao Wei suddenly brighten, but there are some things that Lao Ke can not change, nor can his father-in-law change, Lao Ke's move today is definitely not to blackmail his father-in-law, but to be ashamed of his ancestors, he has to do it, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me."
Ye Xun didn't expect Hongzhi to say this, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood Hongzhi's thoughts, this great monk was clearly roasting him on the fire!
smiled faintly and said, "Is it true that my father has now recovered the lost property of your temple, so that the master does not have to self-immolate?" ”
"The four major monks are empty, so what are the belongings? I just hope that my father-in-law will be kind to the monks in the future, and don't do that act of destroying the Buddha, otherwise sooner or later he will fall into the hell of Abi, come and light a fire! ”
Hongzhi is very determined to die, not only is the high platform surrounded by firewood, but even he himself is drenched with fire oil, these things are ignited when they are on fire, it is too late to save them, and make such a big scene, if you don't die, don't you laugh at the world?
In fact, with Ye Xun's skills, it was entirely possible to rescue Hongzhi before Hongzhi shouted the ignition, but Ye Xun didn't move after all.
It's not that Ye Xun hates Hongzhi much, but it's a kind of fulfillment, instead of saving him, he is secretly looking for death, it is better to fulfill him now, at least he leaves a mighty and unyielding image to the believers.
The fire soon engulfed the high platform, and the monks around them poured their palms together and poured out the scriptures.
Many of the believers around them fell to their knees, and the sound of whimpering and crying soon became loud.
In the crowd, only Ye Xun stood out on horseback, looking at Hongzhi who gradually disappeared into the firelight with an expressionless face, and there was no joy or sorrow in his heart...
