Chapter 129: The Law Change Begins

Early in the morning, hundreds of officials of the palace entered the palace, and Chai Yu sat on the dragon chair. After a period of salutation, the pilgrimage began. Yan Shangshu of the Ministry of War walked out of the courtiers: "Your Majesty yesterday, the Ministry of War received a report from the Northwest War. Yang Yong, the envoy of the Northwest Jiedu and the envoy of the Economic Strategy, broke the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Front of Western Xia and beheaded 30,000 enemy horsemen. The army and the nameless mountain range, the front of the army pointed directly at Xingqing Mansion, and the northwest Jiedu made the mansion recover in the past. The Liao, Uighurs, and Tibetans have assembled heavy troops, and there is an abnormal movement."

"Your Majesty seems that the Liao, Uighurs, and Tibetans want to beat the water dogs and take the opportunity to carve up Western Xia." A military general couldn't help but walk out and analyze.

Another military general hurriedly walked out: "Your Majesty's great victory this time has greatly increased the prestige of our country. I'm afraid that now Li Hao can't sit still in Xingqing Mansion."

"Your Majesty can force Li Yong to pursue the victory. lest the Western Xia be devoured by the Three Kingdoms and the results of the war will be robbed by other countries". A famous military general spoke one after another.

After the last official on the main hall finished speaking, Chai Yu shook his head: "Before setting out on the expedition, Yu had promised Li Yong that he would be fully responsible for this battle. We can't go back on our word, we wait for the result."

"Your Majesty is now re-measuring the matter of arable land in the whole country, and it is going well. Although a lot of land taxes were collected, for the national treasury, it was still a cup of salary. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to revisit the reform." Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Sima Zhao hurriedly came out to ask for a change. Then an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs came out one after another to second. Today, with the linkage of the three departments, the opportunity to liquidate the cultivated land. It has been achieved, the purpose of controlling the household department in one fell swoop.

Seeing this, Wang An hurriedly seconded the proposal, and a group of officials from the ministry came out together: "The ministers seconded the proposal and implored Your Majesty to reintroduce the change."

"Now that the time has come to change the law, Minister Li Miao seconded it." Li Miao saw that the time was ripe, and hurriedly stood up, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not to be outdone and echoed one after another.

Hundreds of officials looked at each other, and some officials wanted to come forward to stop them, Xu Yanping nodded slightly. The officials of the three ministries of criminal, military, and engineering echoed in unison: "Your Majesty, please give an order." From now on, change the law to make it stronger".

Seeing the wind and rudder, one official echoed it, whether reluctantly or not. In an instant, the change of law became a foregone conclusion.

Outside Chang'an City, Liu Sheng and his entourage rode horses and galloped, looked at the scenery along the way, and asked Jia Fu: "Ah Fu, are you sure." The route to Chang'an Shantang was not wrong".

"No, no, I wrote a letter some time ago to ask them." Jia Fu hurriedly shook his head, his tone affirmative. If memory serves, the temple should be in the city.

The group galloped into the city and walked to a street, where children gathered in groups to play and play. Liu Sheng turned over and dismounted, and several children came over: "A few uncles are here, but is there something wrong?"

"Your teacher, Jia Ren is not here." Hearing the child's question, Jia Fu turned over and dismounted. Jia Ren is Jia He's younger brother and a native of Jiajia Village.

A little girl, looking at Jia Fu with wide eyes: "Why are you looking for Teacher Jia."

"Because we are fellow villagers and friends, can you tell me where Jia Ren is?". When Liu Sheng saw these children, he was already sure in his heart that this was Shantang. Asked them softly.

The children nodded, turned and ran into the street. Dangdangdang...... The sound came, and the children, who were still playing, suddenly dispersed.

Jia Ren walked out of it, saw Liu Sheng and Jia Fu, and hurriedly saluted: "Sir, Ah Fu, long time no see."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Jia Ren is now in Chang'an, what is the situation in Shantang." Liu Sheng returned the salute and asked about the situation.

Jia Fu remembered the group of children who had just dispersed and laughed: "Jia Ren's sound just now, shouldn't you knock it?"

"Only you, Ah Fu, would make such a thing, do you say it's Jia Ren." Liu Sheng laughed when he heard Jia Fu's inquiry.

Jia Ren smiled knowingly and looked at Liu Sheng: "Mr. said that he was joking, now that Shantang is in Fojue Temple, with the support of those masters, everything is normal."

"Fojue Temple, by the way, the little monk is not here." Jia Fu heard Jia Ren talk about the Buddha Jue Temple, and asked without thinking.

Jia Ren looked at Jia Fu suspiciously, his expression full of puzzlement: "Little monk?"

"It's the Buddha Temple, the little host." Liu Sheng saw Jia Ren's puzzled face, and hurriedly explained.

When Jia Ren heard this, he made a gesture of invitation to Liu Sheng and Jia Fu: "Sir, Ah Fu, come with me, the little host is inside."

Jia Fu and Liu Sheng followed Jia Ren to walk inside, and the good hall here is also chic. A group of buildings is enclosed in a circle, with a pond in the middle. If you look closely, there is a stone pillar in the middle of the pond. On the stone pillar, a green lotus stone carving is lifelike.

"Jia Ren, how come there are no fish in this pond." Jia Fu walked over to watch, and the water in the pond was clear, but there was not a single fish.

Jia Ren saw that the two of them were puzzled, and explained: "This pond is just planted with lotus roots. Fish fry will be stocked at the beginning of spring next year."

"Lotus root? So to speak, next summer. The lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, so it must be beautiful." Liu Sheng looked at the blue lotus stone carving in the middle of the pond, imagining the grand scene here in summer, and had a trace of yearning.

Jia Fu looked at Liu Sheng, who was full of yearning, and didn't feel it at all: "Brother Sheng, this pond must be made by the Fojue Temple, which was made by those bald donkeys."

"It wasn't made by the bald donkeys in Fojue Temple, but by the little monks." At this time, the little monk came out of a house. I happened to hear Liu Sheng and Jia Fu, the conversation between them, and walked over with a smile to explain.

When Jia Fu saw the little monk, his face was a little embarrassed: "Little monk, when did you come, eavesdropping on other people's conversations, it's not a monk's style."

"Little monk, I have neither dazzled nor behind my ears, nor have I eavesdropped. It's just that I just opened the door and saw two donors, and I came to say hello." The little monk looked at Jia Fu and explained with a serious face.

Jia Fu was speechless, Liu Sheng saw him like this, and laughed to relieve the siege: "Little host, you said that you built this pond."

"This pond was dug by the little monk and some fellow monks. This stone carving was also carved by us, ourselves." When the little monk said this, he pointed to the pond with a satisfied face.

Jia Ren nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly testified: "What the little host said is not false at all. My brothers and sisters and I can testify to this."

"The matter of the good hall, there is a little host Lao Xiao's trouble." After listening to this, Liu Sheng thanked the little monk.

The little monk shook his head and became modest: "If it weren't for the two donors, the good hall would have come." If it weren't for the good hall to accommodate the sick, even if the little monks wanted to contribute, they didn't know where to go. If you want to say thank you, it should be my Buddha Jue Temple, thank you."

"To paraphrase you, Buddhists. Benevolence is the cause, and you are the effect. Plant good causes, and you will get good results. I don't know if I'm right." Jia Fu saw that the little monk was polite and unexpected, and said such a thing.

The little monk was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't imagine that Jia Fu could say such a remark. After reacting, he smiled slightly: "Yes or no, the two donors have good thoughts." Funding and contributing people is the cause, and the establishment of the good hall to contain the suffering of the world is the result. On the other hand, the little monk and the Buddha Jue Temple are just a trace of insignificant karma inside."

"The little host doesn't need to be modest, if it weren't for the help of the Buddha Temple and the True Temple. At this time, Shantang is just a place in Luoyang. If we have the credit for it, we are the most insignificant." Seeing that the little monk was so modest, Liu Sheng thought of all kinds of things in Shantang, and he seemed to be the one who paid the least. At best, come up with ideas and plans. The rest of the things seem to be all of them, and the True View and the Buddha Jue Temple are doing it.

Seeing that Liu Sheng didn't dare to take credit, the little monk analyzed it with a smile: "If you say that the merit is not the merit of Liu Jushi, Shantang cannot come to the world." If it weren't for the power of Jia Fu's donor, the good hall would be the source of income. Without the strong support of Lord Zhou Bo, the children in the good church would not have been able to learn the ways of the sages. The second is the true view, the little monk's Buddha Jue Temple is at the bottom, and he doesn't dare to say anything."

"Buddha Jue Temple, True Temple, Family Teacher and Ah Fu, if there is no call from Mr., how can there be a good hall in the world. Although we have some meager contributions, this good hall still belongs to Mr. Please also sir, don't be too humble." Jia Ren also agreed on the side, the good hall was established by him Liu Sheng. At best, they are just helpers. On this point, they have long had no objection.

Liu Sheng saw that the two of them had a straight face, and he didn't shirk. Too much politeness is hypocrisy: "Then I will be respectful rather than obey my fate."

"Please also ask the gentleman to go to the house with the little monk to discuss the matter of Chang'an Shan Hall." The little monk looked at Liu Sheng and made a gesture of please.

Liu Sheng nodded without saying much, and walked in the direction of his finger. The little monk, Jia Ren, and Jia Fu also followed to the house, and after a few people sat down, they began to discuss.
