Chapter 396: Drawing the Buddha Out of the Mountain
When Yang Guang heard Wang Shao say this, his heart became irritated again, and he threw a tantrum at Wang Shao and said: "It's not okay to start a family and have children, and it's not okay to be a slave under the family. If we only build temples and can't recruit monks and nuns, how can we re-advocate Buddhism? ”
This question raised by Yang Guang is indeed a major event that Wang Shao has not yet thought through, and at this time, he was questioned by Yang Guang, and he had to tentatively suggest to Yang Guang: "Lord, can you wait for the completion of the two temples in Bohai and Zhaojun, first try to publish a list to openly recruit monks and nuns, and enrich the ...... Buddhist temples."
"This is not a recruitment of troops to fight against the Turkic invasion, where can so many people volunteer to become monks and practice?" Yang Guang didn't think about it, so he categorically vetoed Wang Shao's proposal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the same day, although Yang Guang adopted Wang Shao's suggestion, wrote a handwritten letter to Gao Ying, who was in Chang'an, and sent someone back to Chang'an, in the hope that Gao Ying would come forward to persuade the Bohai Gao clan to stop resisting and opposing the imperial court's re-advocacy of Buddhism, but as soon as he thought that the matter of promoting Buddha had just begun, he encountered so much resistance, and he was depressed, and unconsciously returned to the dormitory where he and Xiao Er lived, wanting to find An Ruoxi to ask for a solution.
How do you know that An Ruoxi listened to his explanation, and actually coldly left a sentence: "Now there is a lot of gossip inside and outside the city, accusing my woman of interfering in politics, hasn't it reached the ears of the prince?" Now, how dare I, a maid beside the princess, not know what is good or bad, and talk nonsense about politics, the prince has nothing else to order, so please go back. ”
Since Li Hun returned from Youzhou and reported to Yang Guang about the rumors and legends about his and Xiao E's wedding, Yang Guang then ordered Zhang Heng to take people to secretly investigate the source of these rumors, trying to find out whether these rumors were intentionally spread by the Turks, but Zhang Heng led people to investigate and secretly visit inside and outside Bingzhou for nearly a month, and did not find useful clues about the original source of the rumors, but brought Yang Guang another bad news: following the various rumors at the wedding, the people of Bingzhou recently, and even in the military camp, There are also a lot of gossip that are gradually spreading, accusing Yang Guang of having no opinion on military affairs and government affairs since he left the town and merged with the state, and everything is done according to the words of the maids around him, so he will be warned by the rain from heaven at the wedding.
Yang Guang didn't mind as much about this at first, and when he saw that An Ruoxi was obviously stimulated by these gossips, and refused to give advice to himself, and even walked away in front of him, he suddenly realized that these gossips were by no means as simple as he imagined, and they had obviously brought great harm to An Ruoxi.
He originally had an apology for An Ruoxi in his heart because of the matter of living with Xiao E, and today he added a sense of shame to An Ruoxi, and it was no longer possible to pester her as usual, and asked for countermeasures with a smile.
Yang Guang sat alone in An Ruoxi's room for a while, feeling bored, so he got up and walked out of the room with interest, and walked out of the dormitory without going to the dormitory to find Xiao E.
Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo, two guards, one left and one right, waited outside the door of the dormitory, seeing that Yang Guang had returned to the dormitory for less than a quarter of an hour before he came out with his head down, the two glanced at each other, mistakenly thinking that Yang Guang and Xiao Er had made a fuss, and they didn't dare to ask more, but silently followed Yang Guang to a lotus pond in Jinyang Palace, and stopped.
Although it was the midsummer season in June, it was the season when the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom, but because the state is located in the north and the climate is cold, most of the lotus flowers in the pond are still budding, and only one or two of them have been eager to bloom pink petals.
"Tell me about it, this king wants to make a list to recruit the people to become monks, is this feasible?" Yang Guang stood by the lotus pond for a long time, suddenly turned his head and asked Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo.
Although Zhang Xutuo is honest and rigid, he has been on an errand by Yang Guang's side for a long time, and he has become familiar with this little prince. In that case, how much firewood and rice will the temple have to prepare to provide for so many poor people to eat and live in the temple. ”
Yang Guang listened to Zhang Xutuo's words, felt quite reasonable, nodded, and was silent.
Xian Yuluo followed Yang Guang's side for a much longer time than Zhang Xutuo, seeing that Yang Guang listened to Zhang Xutuo's answer, he only groaned silently, secretly guessing that Zhang Xutuo's words would not be in Yang Guang's intention, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Lord, when I was in Chang'an Wangfu before, I heard someone say that in Jiangzuo and Jiangnan, there was indeed a temple to recruit monks and nuns. It's just that these temples often recruit not ordinary monks and nuns, but eminent monks, and even, I listen to ......"
Speaking of this, Xian Yuluo suddenly remembered that Yang Guang had been living with his newly married princess recently, and most of them didn't want to hear the name An Ruoxi, so he snorted, swallowed the three words An Ruoxi back into his stomach, and continued with a smile: "I have also heard that Emperor Nanchen has visited the Buddhist temple many times to preside over the matter of seeking talents. ”
"Oh? Xian Yuluo, all of what you said is true, isn't it your nonsense? Yang Guang was moved by Xian Yuluo's words, turned around and stared at him and asked.
Xian Yuluo was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Yang Guang with a "plop", and swore by pointing to the sky: "The little one dares to deceive each other in half a sentence, please punish the little one seriously." ”
Inadvertently inspired by Xian Yuluo by the lotus pond, thinking of the Bodhisattva who "still holds the pipa and half covers his face", in an instant, Yang Guang had a bold idea in his heart: if he imitated the practice of Emperor Nanchen, passed on the order to make a big noise in Bingzhou, and recruited high monks and great virtues in Guandong, Guanzhong, Jiangzuo, Jiangnan and other places, would he attract the Bodhisattva on Tiantai Mountain? If this is the case, it is a clever way to kill two birds with one stone.
Yang Guang thought all the way along this line of thought, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he felt, turned around and strode back to the main hall of Jinyang Palace, and ordered someone to urgently report to the two servants of Xingtai and Li Che and the other three to come to the meeting.
In view of the fact that Zhang Wei and Wang Shao, the two servants of the stage, and Li Cheshang did not know anything about the Bodhisattva on Tiantai Mountain, Yang Guang kept an eye on it, and only deduced that he was inspired by Wang Shao's advice today, and wanted to rush to the Daxingguo Temple in Bingzhou before the groundbreaking, so as to recruit the monks and monks to enter the temple and preach the Dharma, so as to select a Taoist monk with both ability and political integrity, report to his father, and approve him to be the abbot of the Daxingguo Temple and concurrently serve as the monk supervisor of the 19 state capitals of the Buddhist temples under the rule of Hebei Province. At the same time, he did not say a word about Tiantai Mountain and the Bodhisattva.
Zhang Wei, Wang Shao, and Li Che did not raise any objections because they knew in advance that the emperor had issued an edict asking Yang Guang to select monks and eunuchs in the local area.
Yang Guangxi immediately ordered someone to draft a recruitment list, and the next day he copied and distributed it to the prefectures under the rule of Hebei Province, in order to lead the Buddha out of the mountain and visit the mysterious Bodhisattva on Tiantai Mountain.
On the third day after the recruitment list was distributed, the state capitals had not yet given Yang Guang feedback on the latest progress of the recruitment of talents, and news suddenly came from outside Yanmen Pass: the Turkic prince Yongyu Lu sent people to Bingzhou to ask to see the king of Jin.
