Chapter 358: Jiang Tuozi returns home
"Exactly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Lord, in the past hundred years, the northern and southern dynasties have followed the precedent, all those who are in slavery, want to get rid of their crimes and avoid death, there are only two ways to go: first, military merit forgiveness; The second is to become a monk. Once Luo Yi voluntarily sacrifices himself to serve the Buddha, it is like cutting off the roots, and even his master family can no longer investigate the sins and mistakes he has committed in the past. An Ruoxi nodded at Yang Guang and replied.
If Luo Yi wants to become a monk to avoid trouble, he must first have a temple for him to practice, and furthermore, Feng Longzhi has proposed to himself to kill Luo Yi to compensate for his murder, at this time, if Luo Yi suddenly becomes a monk, will it not make Feng Longzhi led by the Kanto family Haoyou think that he intends to shield him, compared with this, it seems that it is better to directly save his life on the grounds of Luo Yi's military exploits.
When Yang Guang was muttering, he heard An Ruoxi continue: "Please forgive me for being blunt, Luo Yi committed a capital crime before joining the army, no matter what the reason is, he must not stay in the hussar camp anymore. Compared with the atonement of military merits, asking him to become a monk to protect his life can not only take care of the dignity of the prince in front of the Kwantung family, but also leave him out of the way, so that the prince will not be disturbed in the future. More importantly, the prince rebuilt the Buddhist temple in the old Qi hometown, just like recruiting Ding Zhuang to rebuild the hussar camp on the spot, which has the same effect, and can take the opportunity to win people's hearts and resolve the wariness of the old Qi officials and people against the court. ”
Although Yang Guang was still a little reluctant to let Luo Yi leave the hussar camp in his heart, he listened to An Ruoxi's words: the hussar camp was responsible for guards, and if he took in a customer who had committed a capital crime, it would inevitably bring all kinds of trouble to himself, so he bowed his head and acquiesced.
"But, Ruoxi, Luo Yi's former master has revealed to me the fact that Luo Yi has a life, is it too late to ask him to become a monk at this time?" Yang Guang asked An Ruoxi with a worried face.
"As the vassal king of the court who went out of the town on behalf of the Son of Heaven, the prince should have the majesty of treating people in everything, how can he be led by the nose by the likes of Feng Long?" An Ruoxi restrained his smile and said solemnly, "If the prince still has concerns, he might as well promise Feng Longzhi first, and ask him to make a list of the slaves who should be conscripted into the army in the Feng clan and immediately repatriate them to show his integrity." I expected that the old man of the Feng clan would get the benefit of the prince, and he wouldn't dare to force the prince to kill Luo Yi anymore. After that, the prince sent orders to the government offices of the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province to rebuild the Buddhist temple and reshape the Buddha statue to win the hearts of the people......"
Yang Guang's face turned red when An Ruoxi said it, and he was ashamed in his heart: I am a dignified prince and prince, but I am not as knowledgeable and responsible as An Ruoxi, a weak woman, I am really embarrassed to think about! Thinking like this, he couldn't help but straighten his back, and his courage seemed to grow a little.
"Lord, there is Jiang Tuozi outside the door asking to see you." At this moment, Xian Yuluo, who was guarding the door of the upper room, said to the room.
"Pass him in." Yang Guang glanced at An Ruoxi and commanded outside the door.
Jiang Tuozi walked in with his back hunched in response, looked up and saw that An Ruoxi was also in the room, and after a little hesitation, Fang Chong Yang Guang bowed his hand and said, "Jiang Tuozi has seen the prince." ”
"Mr. Jiang, you came just in time." Before Yang Guang could speak, An Ruoxi had already walked to Jiang Tuozi's side with a smile and asked him, "You are from Dingzhou, and the prince is just telling me that he wants to rebuild Buddhist temples in the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, I wonder if Mr. Jiang thinks this move is appropriate?" ”
Jiang Tuozi came to see Yang Guang today, originally because of the war in the north to take a break, and wanted Yang Guang's permission to let him return to his hometown in Dingzhou, but as soon as he entered the door, he was asked by An Ruoxi whether he should rebuild the Buddhist temple, stared at Yang Guang with a pair of eyes, and saw that he nodded at himself, agreeing with An Ruoxi's question, Fang Si replied: "Lord, Miss An, although the old man has been blessed by the saint and has been away from Dingzhou for nearly ten years, he can still recall that ten years ago, almost every household in Dingzhou City offered Buddha and burned incense. As far as the old man knows, not only Dingzhou is a city, just because the former Emperor Qi Gao respected Buddhism, there were no less than 10,000 Buddhist temples built in its heyday, and the monks and nuns who shaved the practice reached half of the country. ”
Hearing Jiang Tuozi say that the monks and nuns who were ordained as cultivators in the former Qi Dynasty reached almost half of the country's people, not only Yang Guang, but even An Ruoxi was quite taken aback, and hurriedly asked Jiang Tuozi: "Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty (Northern Zhou) destroyed the Buddha, where did these many monks and nuns go?" ”
"Ugh." Jiang Tuozi sighed and replied, "Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha after the attack on the former Qi, although the old man was already in Chang'an, he was homesick, and he also asked people about the situation in his hometown: it is said that Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha and ordered the monks and nuns to return to the world, and most of the monks and nuns were taken in by the local family Haoyou as family slaves, and they were driven to do it, and they were miserable. ”
"Then, according to what you say, if this king wants to rebuild the Buddhist temple under the rule of Hebei and recruit back the monks and nuns of the past, wouldn't it be very easy to attract the opposition and resistance of the local family?" Yang Guang's heart moved, and he immediately asked.
"As long as the prince can find out the list of monks and nuns in the Buddhist temples in the past, rebuild the Buddhist temples, and recruit the monks and nuns of the past, it is a logical thing, even if the family is reluctant, he can't say anything." Jiang Tuozi replied firmly, "Moreover, Hebei has not been destroying Buddha for a long time, the people's hearts are towards the Buddha, and the family is the local county, and there are many families who believe in Buddhism, how can they oppose and resist the emperor's order?" ”
Yang Guang was encouraged by Jiang Tuozi's words, and his original depressed mood was much better, so he remembered to ask Jiang Tuozi why he came to the room to ask for him.
"Now that the Turks have retreated, I beg the prince to allow the old man to return to his hometown in Dingzhou and live for a long time." It turned out that Jiang Tuozi came to beg him to let him go back to Dingzhou.
"Although the Turks have temporarily retreated, they will make a comeback, so why should Mr. Jiang rush back to Dingzhou?" Suddenly hearing that Jiang Tuozi was going to leave him, recalling that he had received a lot of Jiang Tuozi's kindness along the way when Weifu came to Bingzhou a few months ago, Yang Guang actually had a trace of reluctance in his heart, and persuaded him warmly.
"People are old and homesick. It has been nearly ten years since the old man left his homeland, and none of his relatives at home know if he is still there? I also hope that the prince will be considerate and committed, so that the old man can still return to his homeland and reunite with his relatives in his lifetime. Jiang Tuozi said, his voice became choked.
"Mr. Jiang, the prince was reluctant to let you go because he was worried about your safety, and he didn't want to prevent you from reuniting with your family." Seeing this, An Ruoxi hurriedly comforted Jiang Tuozi and said, "If you are concerned about your relatives and insist on returning to Dingzhou, Lord Wang, according to me, it is better to choose one or two people from the hussar battalion sergeants and escort Mr. Jiang back to Dingzhou." ”
As she spoke, she gave Yang Guang a look.
Jiang Tuozi is a gardener in the palace, and An Ruoxi actually wants to send two hussar battalion sergeants to escort him back to Dingzhou, which is also a bit unreasonable. Yang Guang snorted sullenly, not committal.
