Chapter 295: Overnight at the Temple of Great Mercy and Grace

After a while, the officials were full of wine and food, and they also said goodbye to Zhu Youzhen, went downstairs and took a sedan chair to return home, really going back to their own homes and looking for their mothers.

Only Hong Chengchou and Zuo Guangxian, because they were going to Guyuan to take up their posts, no longer entered Xi'an City, but left directly.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Zuo Guangxian was worried, and knew that he was worried about being demoted, so he smiled and encouraged him: "General Zuo, the fame of military generals is different from that of civilian officials, and they are all earned on the battlefield with a knife and a shot. This time, under Governor Hong, there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and becoming the chief soldier is just around the corner. ”

Zuo Guangxian hurriedly bowed his hand to Zhu Youzhen gratefully: "The last general will remember the teachings of His Highness!" However, the last general only wants to be loyal to the court, and as for adding officials to the knighthood, he no longer dares to think about it. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, Wei Zhongxian because of his brother Zuo Guangdou's relationship, he can not only demote him once, but also find an excuse to demote him a second time. As long as Wei Zhongxian is still in power, Zuo Guangxian will never think about it for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen's heart suddenly moved, and he secretly thought that Zuo Guangxian himself was a powerful general, and he had the relationship of Zuo Guangdou, maybe he was also a talent that he could use. It is better to take a little risk and take him under your own account; In the future, if the situation changes, you can have an extra army out of thin air!

So he took advantage of Hong Chengchou's inattention and quietly said to Zuo Guangxian: "Brother Ling is well!" ”

Zuo Guang was stunned for a moment, but suddenly understood the meaning of what Zhu Youzhen said, and immediately became very excited, so nervous that his voice trembled, and he tried his best to lower his voice and said: "Palace... Your Highness, this... How could it be..."

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, and deliberately said: "I'll talk about the details later, in short, the general doesn't have to worry about it!" ”

Zuo Guangxian is not a fool, he naturally knows that there must be something strange here, and the stakes are very high, once the news is leaked, not to mention that his brother Zuo Guangdou still can't live, even he has to finish playing. So he hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands, and first laughed loudly: "The last general will say goodbye, go to His Highness to protect your noble body, and listen to your teachings in the future!" ”

This voice was only for Hong Chengchou and the others, and then he lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Brother treats the last general like a father, since he has been rescued by His Royal Highness, he is not grateful, and the last general will only look forward to His Highness in the future!" ”

secretly subdued Zuo Guangxian, which made Zhu Youzhen feel very proud. As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to get, and it will be hard to find, just for this point, he feels that 80,000 taels of silver is not in vain.

After saying goodbye to the two, it was already a red sun, and he returned to the Great Ci'en Temple, planning to return to Qinwangzhuang with Rui'er.

Rui'er was in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, listening to the abbot Shi Yongyan **. Although Zhu Youzhen listened impatiently, he thought that he had been so busy that he had been so busy hitting the back of his head that he had settled in Qinwangzhuang, and there was very little time to really accompany Rui'er. Since we finally came out together today, we had to fulfill Rui'er's wish, so I had to sit and wait.

After another half an hour, the puja was over, but Shi Yongyan said to everyone: "Dear donors, all those who participate in the puja today are all people who have great chances. From tomorrow, our temple will set up a confession in front of the Buddha in this Mahavira Hall, and those who devote themselves to the Buddha and have great almsgiving, our temple will set up a special tablet for them, and pray especially when chanting sutras in the morning and evening, which is to worship the Buddha on behalf of the benefactors. A point of respect and sincerity, a point of induction, a very sincere and very sensitive, and I hope that all donors will not miss the opportunity. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the believers' eyes lit up and they rushed forward to give alms. As little as a few hundred taels, as many as two or three thousand taels, and even someone shot for 10,000 taels, without even blinking. Shi Yongyan was so happy that he chanted the Buddha's name again and again: "Amitabha, good, good!" ”

Rui'er was very embarrassed, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with slightly begging eyes. It turned out that although Zhu Youzhen allowed her to come to worship the Buddha, he only allowed her to worship incense, and never allowed her to give alms. At this time, seeing that others were enthusiastically taking out money, but Rui'er couldn't even take out a penny, she felt very embarrassed.

Zhu Youzhen sneered, and quietly comforted Rui'er: "Didn't the Buddha once say, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." What the husband does is to save the people of the world, and now there is a shortage of silver in all aspects, rather than donating it to the temple, it is better to let the husband use it directly for the people! Besides, if the Buddha is really spiritual, how can he bless whoever donates more money? ”

Rui'er made Zhu Youzhen speechless, and just when he didn't know what to do, the abbot Shi Yongyan had excellent ear power, and when he heard Zhu Youzhen's words, he came over and smiled at the two: "This donor must be a person with great virtue." The so-called Buddha is destined to be a person, and it is true that whoever gives more money can see the Buddha. I see that the donor is very good-looking and far-reaching, so it is better to stay in our temple for one night and rejoice everywhere. In the dead of night, it is not a pleasure to drink tea and discuss Zen with poor monks. ”

Zhu Youjian was an atheist at all, whether it was Jesus Christ, Allah Allah, or Shakyamuni. Therefore, Shi Yongyan's invitation was a little absent-minded.

Seeing him so big, he made the believers next to him angry. These people thought that they had made so much money, and they had not been able to gain the favor of the abbot; This kid didn't pull out a dime, and the abbot took the initiative to invite, but he hummed haha, noncommittal, what a blasphemy!

Shi Yongyan was not annoyed, and instead said to Rui'er with his palms together: "Mrs. Zun thinks she is here to ask for a son." But you don't know that if you ask for a child, you have to have two watches, and you will worship the Bodhisattva sincerely in the Guanyin Temple alone, and then the Bodhisattva will really respond to your request. ”

Rui'er was overjoyed when she heard this, so she pestered Zhu Youzhen and said: "Official, since the abbot master has been kindly invited, let's stay here for one night!" ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't resist her, and thought that he still had Yan Ling and other people from the secret service, and with their protection, he was foolproof. So he had to smile at Shi Yongyan and said, "So it's bothering." ”

Shi Yongyan asked the monk to lead a few people to live in the back of the retreat.

In the past, Zhu Youzhen never understood what a "fine house" was, but when he came in and took a look, he could understand it. It turned out that there was only one clay kang in the room, and there was only a thin quilt on the clay kang, and there was nothing else.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that the fine house is the fine light house, which is a bit interesting." ”

The monk laughed and said, "This is the pure land of Buddhism, and this retreat is a place for spiritual practice, and it is not allowed to be luxurious." The center is in the middle, the ears and eyes are wise, and the four branches are strong, and they can be retreated. But it is not the meaning of 'fine light' as the donor said. ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned red, and he was about to say something to cover it up, but he saw that the ministry monk took advantage of Rui'er's inattention and peeked at her chest, and Zhu Youzhen intersected his eyes.

The ministry monk hurriedly announced the Buddha's trumpet and said, "After a few donors settle down, they can rejoice in the temple, but the little monk is about to retire." ”

Rui'er hurriedly returned the salute and sent the monks out of the ashram. Zhu Youzhen felt uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly thought that as the saying goes, a monk is a hungry ghost in the sex, and he is here with his wife, so don't have anything wrong tonight!
