Volume 7 Chapter 38 An Unusual Horn

Wei Yan and Xie Jiu can get the scope of the inventory in their hands, that is, the pharmaceutical factory and the medical school. The financial systems of these two places were planned by Xie Jiu according to the system of later generations, and the accounts of these two places can be said to be quite clear. Wei Yan had long learned to read accounts under Xie Jiu's teaching, and it was difficult to cheat in front of two people who knew the modern financial system very well. After all, there is still some gap between Tang Ren and Wei Yan and Xie Jiu. Therefore, Wei Yan and Xie Jiu are not afraid of checking the accounts at all, and the old gods are still there, what should they do in normal times.

Inventory and inventory is a protracted project, especially involving government departments, and they can take turns for several months. In small places like medical schools and pharmaceutical factories, when it is the turn of the hospital, it is already the back. The first to start the investigation was naturally the six key departments of the imperial court.

When I started to investigate the six major departments of the imperial court, there were many pairs of eyes staring, all of them staring, wanting to see if the six major departments of the imperial court were clean, even His Majesty Li Er, although he did not say it explicitly, also specially issued an order to strictly investigate the six major departments. The six major ministries are the key points of the imperial court, in charge of the affairs of the entire world, if the six major ministries are also corrupted, then the Tang Dynasty is almost the same.

As one of the leaders of the unit under investigation, Wei Yan also paid close attention to the investigation, ran to the military headquarters when he was free, and occasionally asked Tang Jian about the situation, and only after many inquiries did he figure out the reason for the investigation. Speaking of which, everything was led by the old man Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng sat in the Imperial Historical Observatory, as the prefect of the Imperial Historical Observatory, supervised the officials of the imperial court, and gave advice to His Majesty Li Er. When Zhenguan was twelve years old, Old Man Wei felt that His Majesty Li Er seemed to be a little slack. I don't like to listen to blunt words, so, taking advantage of the autumn hunting, I made a ten sparse thoughts and came out to admonish without saying anything, and after returning to Beijing, because His Majesty Li Er wanted to build a small hall. Wei Zheng also admonished His Majesty Li Er that he didn't know how to be thrifty, and he was not as frugal as when he founded the country.

provoked His Majesty Li Er's Long Yan to be furious, of course. This anger was finally appeased by Empress Changsun, who knew His Majesty Li Er's temper best, and after His Majesty Li Er's anger subsided, he rewarded Wei Zheng again. Wei Zheng was encouraged by this, and talked about the recent problems of the style and ethics of officials. And mobilized a lot of evidence from the Imperial Historical Observatory. He advised His Majesty Li Er that most of the officials in the world are still loyal to their duties, but a few have gradually become corrupt and too luxurious, which is a great harm to His Majesty's world. His Majesty Li Er saw those recitals and was furious. It was ordered that the Imperial Historical Observatory should be harshly investigated, and the black sheep among the officials should be found out, and the style of luxury should be opposed. So, there was such an investigation.

After listening, Wei Yan was quite emotional. It turned out to be an ancient storm of clean government. However, it could not be scraped on his head. Adhering to the spirit of guiding without caring about oneself, Wei Yan still works, works, studies and lives leisurely. The clean government storm in Beijing was blowing vigorously, and Fu Yi's son Fu Dun came to the door with an invitation.

Fu ...... Hello adults, I don't know what to find Wei? But has Lord Lingzun's condition changed? ”

Wei Yan hesitantly looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, the son and son really couldn't call it, so they simply changed their name to Master Fu, anyway, their father and son are both officials and adults. The old man Fu Yi is old and sick, Wei Yan and Xie Jiu have also gone to see it, but Fu Yi's illness is very troublesome, it is not the current medical conditions that can be treated, in general, it is old and frail, the laws of nature, no one can do anything, unless it is a fairy.

Fu Dun said: "Lord Wei, I don't know if you have heard of the Buddha's tooth in the capital recently?" ”

Wei Yan nodded, he had heard of this matter, he heard that it was brought by a Brahmin monk, and it was originally a big gossip that caused a sensation in the world, but it was not a coincidence, and it happened to encounter the storm of clean government in the imperial court, and the limelight was overshadowed, but some deep women and children, and ordinary people rushed to make a pilgrimage, hoping to get a little Buddha light, protect the whole family, and keep the family safe. Xie Jiu was also dragged by Mrs. Fang, and when she came back, the guard asked her if she had ever felt the light of the Buddha, Xie Jiu just gave him a blank look and gave him a coquettish hum.

Now that Fu Dun came to the door, Wei Yan suddenly remembered something and understood. In other words, according to historical truth, this matter should have been exposed by Fu Yi. Recently, the situation has become a bit weird, and people are uncertain, so Wei Yan and Xie Jiu agreed not to be in the limelight unless necessary, so as not to implicate themselves and their families if the butterfly wings are overblown, especially when there is a clean government everywhere, it is not a good decision to come out. However, when Fu Dun came to the door, Wei Yan had a bad premonition, and it seemed that there were signs of going against his wishes.

Wei Yan pondered the words and said, "A few days ago, when I was at the school, I heard from my colleagues that my wife and Mrs. Fang went to worship together. I've never been to the next, what? Master Fu, is there a problem with the Buddha's tooth? ”

Fu Dun said: "According to people who have seen it, the Buddha's tooth is yellow, and it is crystal clear in the candlelight, which is very magical. My father was sick in bed, and I heard the news from somewhere, and my father had heard that there was a thing called a diamond ground, which was also in this shape, and I was asked to break it with antelope horns, and I specially asked Lord Wei to be a witness. My father said that Master Wei is well-informed and can help me see through the liar's scheme. ”

Wei Yan covered his face with his hands, and missed "You can't see me, you can't see me", but he doesn't have Zhou Xingxing's special function, this can only be regarded as a fantasy, and he comforts himself. In fact, I still have to explain: "Master Fu, there are more people in Beijing who are highly respected or well-informed, and they are better than Wei, why don't you invite those people, you have to keep an eye on Wei?" ”

Fu Dun smiled at Wei Yan, bowed and saluted, and said: "My father once said that no one in this capital can compare to Lord Wei in terms of his knowledge of novelty things, and I also ask Lord Wei not to shirk, it will not be necessary to fool the people, and it will be inevitable that the women and children of the deep boudoir will be wronged by the demon monks again, and I also ask Lord Wei to help." ”

Wei Yan frowned, seeing that Fu Dun looked insistent, he could only reluctantly agree and go to Huichang Temple with Fu Dun. Although the Buddha's tooth was robbed of the limelight by the storm of clean government, the scene was still full of people, mostly women and children, with a pious face. Respect the Brahmin monks, but all who come, they give alms. The Brahmin monk, with bronzed skin and a monk's robe, sat high in front of him. A handsome little monk beside him, Wei Yan knew, was the debater.

The debate machine saw Wei Yan and Fu Dunlai. He didn't know Fu Dun, but he knew Wei Yan, and hurriedly saluted: "The little monk has seen Lord Wei, and Lord Wei is fine." ”

Wei Yan returned the salute with a smile and said, "Master Debater doesn't need to be polite, I just heard that there is a magical Buddha's tooth here, so I came to take a look." Why is the master debater here? ”

The debate said: "The Buddha's tooth is the one that this Master Moses Daddo brought to the earth from the Tianzhu Holy Land. The master did not speak Chinese. The little monk first learned Sanskrit, so the abbot sent the little monk to serve Master Moses Daddo as an assistant to communicate with each other. ”

It's a translation for a long time, so much to say. Wei Yan nodded with a smile and said, "You're busy, let's take a look." ”

The machine did not say more, and stood quietly in front of the Brahmin monks. The Brahmin monk bowed his head and asked a few words about the debate, and with slightly closed eyes, he quietly looked at the two of them. The debate machine also whispered a few words, and Wei Yan guessed that he was probably talking about the identity of the two people.

After turning around, all the people who had come to worship the Buddha's tooth relic, Fu Dun looked at the Brahmin monk coldly. sneered: "Lord Wei." This monk is hateful, and no one in the Tang Dynasty can recognize diamonds. It is a great abomination to be deceived and deceived! ”

Wei Yan was not angry, he looked at it indifferently, and when he saw that Fu Dun was angry, he comforted others: "It's okay, that's because the people don't know that for mysterious things, they can either destroy or be in awe." Master Fu, please come forward to expose the conspiracy of the liar, so as not to prevent the people of the Tang Dynasty from being evil again. ”

Fu Dun nodded, strode forward, pretending to be a worshipper, asking to see the Buddha's tooth. The Brahmin monk's eyes opened slightly, glanced at Fu Dun and Wei Yan, shook his head in refusal, and muttered. The debate machine translated: "Lord Wei, Master Moshe Daddo said that the Buddha's tooth is a holy object, how can it be a thing that mortals can look at at will, it is a great blessing to be fortunate to worship, can you see the Buddha's tooth, but also look at a fateful word." ”

Wei Yan smiled, grabbed Fu Dun, who was about to come forward to defend himself, and said: "Master of debate, please tell Master Moses Daddo that a few days ago, my wife came to worship the holy relics, but she didn't have a chance to see them. No, I am here again today, and I am also sincere, I hope that the master will let us see the holy relics, look up to the Buddha's light, cross ourselves, and transcend reincarnation. Wei's meaning, please convey it to the debate master. ”

Wei Yan smiled at the debate machine, and the debate machine glanced at Wei Yan seemingly flatly, and turned to talk to Moses Dado. The two talked for a long time, and the debate machine seemed to have really helped persuade a lot, repeatedly showing a look of pleading, and asking many times before Moses Dado nodded and agreed. The debate machine showed a reassuring expression, turned to Wei Yan and Fu Dun and said: "The master has agreed to let the two worship the holy relics, but the two of them must go out to clean the dust on their bodies, we ordinary people, worship the holy relics, should be bathed and changed, today the master for the sake of the two pious, only reduced a lot of etiquette, please understand." ”

Fu Dun and Wei Yan glanced at each other, nodded in unison, Wei Yan said: "Master of debate, it is rare to have a fate today, so many people have come, and the master just promised to let us worship the holy relics, which can be regarded as a Buddha fate, it is better to ask the master to allow the people who come to worship today to come and worship the holy relics with their own eyes, which can also be regarded as promoting Buddhism and adding a good story and merit." ”

The argument said: "Lord Wei is proposing, and the little monk will go to lobby Master Moses Dado." ”

When Wei Yan and Fu Dun went out to play dust and came in, the debate machine had already said that Moses Dado agreed to let all the people present today watch the Buddha's tooth together. So, the debater hurriedly went to report to the abbot and found someone to inform the people who came today to pay homage to the holy relics together.

When everyone gathered, Moses Daduo had a word, solemnly invited out the holy relics of the Buddha's teeth, uncovered the yellow cloth layer by layer, revealing a small box with exquisite carving, opened the box, inside a tooth-sized, crystal clear yellow stone, under the candlelight of the main hall, the light was brilliant and charming, plus the sandalwood, there was really a bit of Buddha's artistic conception.

At this time, Wei Yan stopped talking, nor did he worship, but just watched quietly. At this time, Fu Dun stepped forward and said loudly: "The master once said that this is a holy relic and a Buddha's tooth, which is unbreakable, right?" ”

As soon as the debater translated Fu Dun's words, Moshe Daduo nodded and continued to chant the scriptures, quite in the style of a monk. Fu Dun sneered: "After my father heard that the sacred relics of Buddha's teeth came to the Tang Dynasty, he once said to me that I heard that there is a treasure in the world, called diamond, which is unbreakable, and only the antelope horn can break it in the world." The master said that this is a Buddha's tooth, not a diamond, and now it is up to me to try it down. ”

After that, without waiting for everyone to react, he took out a horn-like thing from his bosom and struck it hard at the Buddha's tooth, which was actually shattered in response to his hand, which shocked everyone present for a while, and they all looked at the broken Buddha's tooth in a daze, unable to move. Wei Yan looked at the "Buddha's tooth" in surprise, and then looked at the horn that had made great achievements, stepped forward, picked up a small piece of broken ground to check, it was indeed very similar to an uncarved diamond, but, as far as Wei Yan knew a little common sense, the diamond seemed to be the higher the purity, the more valuable, Wei Yan took a small piece and walked into the sun, and looked at the light, the purity of this diamond is really not high, no wonder the hardest diamond in the world was so broken by an antelope horn.

Seeing that the so-called Buddha's tooth was broken, Fu Dun laughed and said loudly: "Folks, this is not the so-called Buddha's tooth at all, it's just a diamond, please don't be deceived by the monks anymore, and go home." ”

The scam has been exposed, and the people no longer believe it. The Brahmin monk didn't seem to think that anyone could recognize this thing, his face turned completely white, and all the appearance of the high monk just now disappeared, and his footsteps moved lightly, and he wanted to escape.

The debate machine was also alert, and hurriedly stretched out his hand, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't care about speaking Sanskrit, so he came out directly: "You demon monk, liar, I will let you be deceived by the whole Chang Temple!" You have taken advantage of the pious heart of the poor monks and other Buddhas, and you are shameless, and the Buddha will definitely condemn you! ”

When he said this, Wei Yan and Fu Dun both glanced at the debate machine together, and Wei Yan secretly said in his heart, it is really a famous guy in history, looking at what he said, it is called a level. Fu Dun snorted coldly, and also went over to grab Moses Dado, and said angrily: "The deception has come to my Datang, and I don't know the height of the sky, come here, take it away!" ”

It turned out that Fu Dun had secretly ambushed people nearby, and as soon as he roared, an official messenger rushed up to arrest Moses Dado. When Moses Dado saw that someone was coming to arrest him, he said, "I was wrong! I don't dare! Please let me go! ”

Although the accent is weird, I can still understand it. Wei Yan, Debate Machine, and Fu Dun looked at each other, all a little embarrassed---- it turns out that the girl can speak Chinese! It's really a high-level liar, and he deceived several of them!
