Chapter 8 The Emperor and the Monk in the Five-Level Temple
The young man was dressed in black, his long hair was tied with a black band, and although his face was surrounded by blue and black aura, his handsome face was full of celebrities and gentlemen.
Hey, how unfortunate the Xie family is! This is the Xie family's Zhilan Treasure Tree, but the sky is not old, even if the old man has an amazing martial arts cultivation, he still can't stop his emotions and sadness, and he can't help himself.
The young man was not depressed, and looked to the north.
"Uncle, the world is turbulent, the way of heaven is clear, in the face of the general trend of the world, I am afraid that Your Majesty will soon use you, but my nephew has to say a few more words. β
"You say. β
The old man knew that his nephew was wise and knowledgeable, so he did not dare to be negligent and listened carefully.
"Back then, the Huan family's affairs were too ruthless, the Xie family was stained with too much cause and effect, although the situation is now resurrected, but it is just over easy to break, if you want the Xie family to pass on, you must repay the cause and effect, and retreat bravely. β
The young man's narrow Danfeng glanced at the sky, squinted his eyes and sensed the north, and continued: "Uncle, although my 'Determination to Survive the World' has entered the Qi Dao and consumed my life, on the other hand, it has given me amazing intuition, and I feel ......."
Suddenly, a very strange look on his face, which seemed to be mixed with fear, closed his mouth tightly.
The old man suddenly felt a violent shock in the Yuan Force around him, and he couldn't help but be shocked, he suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of Fufeng County in the north.
"It's ...... Tribulation?"
A trace of blood appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth, and he looked to the north in a daze, and the obsidian chess pieces between his fingers exploded to smithereens.
"Who broke the sky?" the old man's crown trembled slightly, his beard fluttered, and his mood was obviously extremely fluctuating.
"It's not,"
The young man's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he muttered, "This is the power of the Immortal Dao......!" Really...... The world is indeed ...... It's weird!
......
The royal family, the Wang family, the Xie family, the Xi family, the Tao family...... Almost all the top families of the Great Jin Dynasty have sensed the power of the vitality tide, some are curious, some are puzzled, some are frightened, and some people even take advantage of this to see a glimmer of hope.
And several Great Qinzhi Counties near Fufeng County and Runan County also sensed the fluctuations, and soon, a letter of urgent report was sent to Jinyang from all directions.
The capital of the Great Qin Emperor, outside the city of Jinyang, is a magnificent temple - a five-level temple.
The five-level temple is a royal temple, the Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian advocates Buddhism, the fifth-level temple presiding Master Dao'an is known as the Great Qin Divine Monk, the Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian often visits the five-level temple in person, and talks about Buddhism with the Dao'an Master.
At this time, the fifth-level temple was heavily guarded, and countless stout soldiers wearing red armor surrounded the temple, blocking countless pilgrims outside the temple.
Countless people talked about it, but they didn't dare to say anything, everyone could guess that there must be a noble person in the temple at this time.
There is a huge locust tree in the backyard of the fifth-level temple, which covers half of the courtyard under the shade, and there is an unusually simple stone bed under the locust tree.
Opposite him, Great Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian was sitting cross-legged on a huge cloud bed carved from small-leaved rosewood, pinching a vajra seal with both hands, and meditating with his eyes closed.
Fu Jian was wearing a loose scholar's uniform, the placket was slightly open, revealing a piece of black chest hair on his chest, his face was rough and haughty, his face was a little vicious, and he looked a little nondescript in a scholar's uniform. But when he was immersed in the Dharma, he radiated a light of compassion on his body, which made people involuntarily settle down, but felt that he had a different kind of charm.
After a short time, Fu Jian's aura slowly became stronger, and an extremely righteous and grand aura enveloped the entire courtyard, and the Yuan Force in the fifth-level temple began to fluctuate slightly.
The royal forest sergeants in the backyard were shocked, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, hesitating whether to rush into the backyard, a middle-aged man in chain gold armor sensed it carefully, waved his hand, and signaled that His Majesty was fine, and the sergeants calmed down, knowing that this was the martial arts deterrent exuded by His Majesty, and they couldn't help but feel reverence.
"Your Majesty is upset!"
Master Dao'an, the old monk, shouted softly.
Fu Jian was shocked, snorted, and slowly opened his eyes, and the Yuan Force shock in the courtyard slowly subsided.
"Thank you Master for your 'Daigo Empowerment', I would like to ask, your 'Heart and Eye Communication' has reached an extremely high level, can you know the cause of this Yuanli tide in the south?"
Dao An shook his head and said: "In the eyes of the Immortal Dao, the 'Heart and Eye Communication' of the Poor Dao is just getting started, how can it be profound? I only know that this Yuan Force Tide has the breath of the Heavenly Tribulation, in addition, the Poor Dao also vaguely feels that there seems to be a terrifying sword intent inside, Your Majesty, try not to participate in the affairs of the Immortal Dao, in order to prevent future troubles." β
When Fu Jian heard this, his eyes suddenly showed a strong hatred, if it weren't for this immortal path to descend on the heavenly tribulation, how could the national teacher Wang Meng be seriously injured and die so young, so that the Great Qin Martial Dao fell into decline, dragging this world for nearly ten years.
However, now that Great Qin's military strength is strong, Fu Jian believes that no country dares to stop under the wheels of Great Qinβit is time to fulfill his wish.
Fu Jian's chest was hot for a while, but then he remembered the words of his younger brother Pingyang Gong Fu Rong, Minister Shi Yue and others to dissuade him, and he couldn't help but feel upset, so he said to Master Dao'an: "Master, I want to visit Dongyuan, can I go with the car?"
Master Dao'an was about to refuse, but thinking of Pingyang Gong and the others' request a few days ago, he nodded and agreed.
The two of them went out of the backyard, Fu Jian slowly got into the royal car, turned back to Master Dao'an and said, "Master, you can get on my imperial car and tour together." β
Before Dao An could speak, the middle-aged man in golden armor beside the emperor changed color, and he hurriedly knelt down and admonished: "Your Majesty can't! How could a disfigured person like Dao An let him sit beside His Majesty?"
Fu Jian's color changed and he said angrily: "Quan Yi, bold!"
Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty once said: "The people who are left behind in prison are incomparable, and they are not the same, and they have never been far away." Xiwei Linggong and Yongquzai, Confucius Shichen, Shang Ying, Zhao Liang was cold, and the same son participated in the ride, and the silk changed color. Shame on it since ancient times. This means that people who have been punished by the palace cannot be compared with normal people, and this has always been the case in history. In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Wei Linggong and the eunuch Yongqu were in the same car, Confucius left the state of Chen; Shang Ying was summoned by Qin Xiaogong by the eunuch, and Zhao Liang felt cold; and the eunuch Zhao Tan accompanied Emperor Wen of Han in the car, and the minister Yuan Ang changed color. Quan Yi is a person who abides by Confucian etiquette, Confucianism has always believed that the parents who have been exposed to the body should not be damaged, and Shamen is a monk, and in his opinion, he is also a disfigured person, so he thinks that Fu Jian's invitation to Master Dao'an to ride in the same car will damage the prestige of the Son of Heaven.
Where does Fu Jian believe in this, he has always believed in Buddhism, and regarded Master Dao'an as a saint of Buddhism, when he heard that Quan Yi insulted the monk in his heart so much, he reprimanded him sharply: "Master Dao'an's morality is prosperous, even if he can't exchange it for the whole world, I ride with him in the same car This little glory is not enough to commend his virtue." β
After that, Fu Jian ordered Quan Yi to personally help Master Dao'an to ride in the car. Although Quan Yi was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to do so.
Master Dao'an looked at all this with a faint smile and said nothing.
Soon after the convoy departed, in the royal car, Fu Jian said to Master Dao'an with a pleasant face: "I plan to travel south with the archmage to the land of Wuyue, when the time comes, we will organize the crusade army to patrol Jiangdong, and we can go to the Huiji area to watch the vast and magnificent sea, wouldn't it be happy?"
When Master Dao'an heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, thinking of the secret conversation with Pingyang Gong and the others a few days ago, and even more, his mind turned around, and he actually remembered the man who supported the entire Great Qin in white clothes ten years ago.
That day, he quietly came to the fifth-level temple, and when he saw him, the horror in his heart still made his heart unable to calm down.
On that day, he knew a lot of things in this world, and every single one of them was probably unknown to the emperor in front of him, who owned half of the world.
However, at this moment, Dao An was a little envious of Fu Jian, and sometimes, he didn't know if it was happiness.
Because the man knew that there was not much time left, he would choose his own. Daoan thought so.
"Master, what have you thought of?" Fu Jian asked when he saw that Master Dao'an didn't answer his question, wandering out of the world, and couldn't help but be a little displeased.
"I thought of the National Teacher. β
Fu Jian was stunned for a while, and then sighed and said, "I miss him too!"
Fu Jian and Wang Meng's emotions are very complicated, they are both teachers and friends, and they are also monarchs and ministers, but they are more like friends, only him, who despises everything and dares to say anything to himself.
"That poor Dao dared to ask Your Majesty, what did the national teacher say to Your Majesty before he sat down?" Dao An's eyes were kind and peaceful, but Fu Jian was a little afraid to look at him, and he was silent.
"Your Majesty, forgive the poor monk for speaking bluntly, I'm afraid that the national teacher will not approve of His Majesty's Eastern Expedition to the Great Jin, right?"
Fu Jian remembered the conversation on the sickbed that night, and his mood became extremely bad in vain.
"The mage is too worried, if the national teacher doesn't want to assist me to dominate the world, why bother to heal my wounds, sweep away the countries for me, unify the north, and make Daqin the most powerful country in the world. β
Dao An sighed, he knew the purpose of Fu Jian's visit to the fifth-level temple today, he had the intention of the Eastern Expedition, but except for Murong Chui and Yao Chang, most of the courtiers were against the Eastern Expedition, so this time he invited him to visit the Eastern Garden together, and talked about this matter, just to get support from him and find some excuse for blocking the opposition of the courtiers.
But how could he go against the sky? He had to admonish tactfully: "Your Majesty, you have received the mandate of heaven, ruled over China, governed the people, and now have eight states of tribute, are rich and abundant, and control a vast territory in the Middle Earth, and you should govern the country by doing nothing, so that you can compare with the ancient saints Yao and Shun in virtue, how can you now have the intention of raising a million troops to conquer Jiangdong?"
"The land in the Jiangdong area is barren and mostly low-level fields, and the southeast area is low-lying and has a lot of miasma, which is not a good place for people to survive. In ancient times, Emperor Shun and Dayu traveled and did not return, and Qin Shi Huang went to the south to hunt and never returned. Judging from the poor road, it is not a good thing for you to raise troops in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Pingyang Gongfu Rong is your relative, Shi Yue is your trusted minister, I heard that they also felt that this matter was impossible, but they failed to persuade you. How can a poor Daoist impress you if he is soft-spoken? It's just that Poor Dao has always been favored by His Majesty, and he can't help but show loyalty to you. β
With that, Hesh bowed deeply.
Fu Jian's face changed uncertainly, and when he was half-loud, Fang held up Master Dao'an and sighed: "I know, what the mage said, I will definitely consider it." I was a little tired today, so I went back to the palace first. Come on, send the Master back to the Fifth Level Temple!".
"Amitabha, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Master Dao'an looked up, his withered face showing compassion.
