Chapter 148: Smashing the Field
At the behest of the Maharaja of Vietnam, the negotiations with the Xizhou Mission, led by Minister Wen Mingxian, were also officially opened, but this negotiation, which later laid a good foundation for cooperation between Xi and Vietnam, did not cause much repercussions at the time.
Or, even if it caused some repercussions, it was also annihilated in other events that had huge repercussions - on this day, Song Changgong, the last two royal bloodlines of Shu, Lanling King Song Changgong and Song Jixu, Guangling King, officially broke up, and the forces in the original Shu State chose one of the two sides to stand in line, in addition to dozens of local forces, large and small, the most eye-catching was the statement from Xizhou. Xizhou, who had just been annexed to Shu, did not take the opportunity to choose independence again at this time, but chose to stand on the side of Song Changgong of Zhanzhou.
In response to this matter, some people commented that it was a righteous move, regardless of which side it belonged to, it was extremely rare that Xizhou did not take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, and I heard that Yang Wu, the city lord of Xizhou City, also personally sent his right-hand man to Weizhou Xiao Shurang, who was also on the side of King Lanling, to fight together to prevent Song Jixu from going north.
Compared with the attitude of Xizhou, the attitude of Guan and Rao has long been expected by people, not only have announced their separation from Dashu, but also merged the northernmost Liuzhou and the defeated Queensland, established a pseudo-Chengguo, and coveted the south.
Carefully investigated, the fall of Dashu began on this day.
This year is the 413th year of the Shu Kingdom.
This day is the Qingqing Festival, which is commonly known as the "Qingming Festival".
Of course, people who live in history don't understand that one day they experience will be the end of a glorious history, and they don't predict that this day will be the beginning of the growth of the next new empire, they just enjoy living each day, and then before going to bed, they think about what they have done that day and what they will do tomorrow, and then close their eyes and go to sleep, day after day, year after year.
Naturally, the people of Xiyue will no longer care about things outside the Yue Kingdom, there are the Maharaja, there are the army, there are living Buddhas, they don't need to worry too much. Therefore, when Bai Ma Dege, the Situ Living Buddha who has not been out of the temple for more than 20 years, finally came on the day when the merit of the Ministry of Rites in Qingcheng opened the altar and preached, the city was full of empty alleys, and it was difficult to see grandeur.
There are those who join in the fun, and naturally there are those who avoid the excitement.
Early in the morning, Yang Jian pulled Hua Yuchi, Lantern and Tian was not afraid to go out to see the excitement, but Tian was not afraid of wearing a pair of dark circles and the spirit of not going to death, Yang Jian let him go, and only the three girls went together.
The rest are only Hua Hate Liu, She Qing and Cui Hu, who need to shout from time to time to make sure that they are not in the house.
"Is Mr. Big alright?" Seeing that the sun is on the three poles, he is not afraid that he has not gotten up yet, and She Qing is not without worries.
Hua Hate Liu was standing outside the door at this time, ignoring what She Qing said, looking outside the door and wondering, "Then did Phuntsok also go to see the lecture today?" Why didn't you see him guarding outside? ”
"I heard that I received an order from the mother of the country in the middle of the night, and I went back to the palace to resume my life...... If you haven't come yet, I'm afraid it means that your freedom will not be restricted anymore......" She Qing was stunned for a moment, and also stepped forward, looking at the empty door and thinking.
"Not coming back." The two of them were wondering, and suddenly heard someone talking behind them, first startled, then smiled bitterly, and looked back to see Cui Hu standing in the shadow behind the door talking, and said in his heart: Sure enough, it's you!
"He's not here anymore, but he doesn't want to go out to do anything......" Hua Hatliu sighed, turned back to the house, suddenly remembered today's negotiation with Xiyue, and asked uneasily: "If you don't go over, won't the negotiation be a loss?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the other two were stunned, but Cui Hu naturally refused to speak, dull and silent, She Qing had no choice but to cough dryly and laughed: "Sir, this negotiation generally begins with a stage of mutual testing, that is, to put forward conditions to each other and then touch the bottom line of the other party, so it doesn't matter whether you go or not, as long as you listen to what they go to say when the time comes." Besides......"
Speaking of flowers, Liu nodded again and again, and She Qing's pause immediately aroused his curiosity: "What's more?" ”
"This ......" She Qing smiled, took two steps back and said: "Besides, before leaving, the city lord said that you are the main envoy, and the young lady is the general of the protection group, and you will not go to ......."
Speaking of which, She Qing also "clicked to the end", the implication is that one of the two leaders ran to see the excitement, and the other hid and didn't go out, so naturally the others couldn't say anything......
"Huh...... Hehe......" Hua Hate Liu laughed, looked around and saw that the time was almost up, and immediately said: "Why don't we go and see the excitement too!" ”
The Ministry of Rites is on the east side of the Inner Palace, and it is probably less than a hundred zhang away from the main gate of the Inner Palace. The four envoys under his subordinates are: ceremonial envoys, palms and military ceremonies, military ceremonies, and management of academic affairs and imperial examinations; Ancestral sacrifice envoys, in charge of auspicious rites and fierce ceremonial affairs; Meritorious envoys, in charge of religious affairs and reception of foreign vassals; Exquisite food envoys, in charge of feasting and sacrificial prison affairs. Among them, the place where the Living Buddha opened the altar and preached and the reception of the Xizhou mission were all arranged and deployed by the meritorious envoys.
is different from the expected lively scene, when Hua Hateliu saw the scene of the opening of the altar, he felt that this scene had nothing to do with the word "lively".
Solemn! Solemn!
The square outside the meritorious envoy who can accommodate thousands of people is already densely packed with people at this time -- not only on the square, but also on the two long streets outside the gate of the meritorious envoy, which is also full of people who have come to listen to the scriptures, and it can be seen from their expressions that although the voice of the sermon cannot be heard, there is no trace of coping or falsehood on their faces, as if even if they are just so close to the living Buddha, for them their souls can be purified from the inside out.
If there is any disharmony in this scene, it is the middle of the front row.
In addition to the undisguised boring look and the yawning sound from time to time, who else could there be but Yang Jian for the rude behavior of chatting with the left for a while and teasing the child on the right for a while?
However, even so, the person sitting on the high altar was not affected in any way, and with the orderly closing of his lips, the voice still clearly sounded to the audience.
This mind alone deserves the word "master".
"Hahaha, that's funny!" was secretly admiring Bai Ma Dege's kung fu pretending to be a master, but unexpectedly, a crisp laugh came, and Hua Hate Liu didn't need to follow the sound to see who was laughing.
"Sir, miss, she ......" She Qing was shocked when she heard this, and looked ahead worriedly, and sure enough, two monks stepped forward and whispered something to Yang Jian, looking at the gesture as if she was inviting her out.
"Your young lady is really here to smash the field full-time......" sighed lightly, Hua Hate Liu walked forward from a slightly spacious path that was vacant in a hurry, and She Qing hurriedly followed.
"Why did you let me out?" Walking up to a distance of three or five zhang, I heard Yang Jian's unconvinced voice, but fortunately, except for the sound of preaching on the stage and the two monks who stepped forward to dissuade them with angry faces, the other people in the audience still sat on the ground with a pious look and closed their eyes and were silent.
"Fortunately, I didn't lose too many people...... She Qing rejoiced softly, but he didn't expect Yang Jian, who was arguing with the monk, to take the time to glare at him fiercely, and immediately stood on the spot.
"Two masters......" Hua Qiliu smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to the two monks who stepped forward to dissuade Yang Jian, and the other two immediately folded their hands in return when they saw this.
"I've just arrived and I don't know the situation yet...... I wonder what this friend of mine has done wrong and needs to ask him out? ”
Originally, he still had a good impression of the young man in front of him who smiled modestly and politely, but at this time, when he heard him say that he was a friend of the troublemaker, the two monks were cold-faced.
"The donor forgives me, the living Buddha is preaching the scriptures on the stage, but I don't want this female donor to suddenly laugh out loud, which has an impact on the living Buddha and other believers who listen to the scriptures sincerely, and it is even more disrespectful to my Buddha, so the senior brother ordered the two of us to come and persuade them." One of the older ones answered.
"Oh!" Hua hated Liu suddenly, and asked Yang Jian with a stern face: "You too, it's okay if you can't listen to the scriptures, just close your eyes and sleep for a while, why do you have to laugh out loud to affect the living Buddha!" ”
"I'm ......" When Yang Jian heard this, she immediately wanted to explain, but another younger monk next to her interrupted her and said quickly: "Doze off in front of the Buddha...... Also...... It's also disrespectful......"
"Huh?" Hua Hate Liu was slightly stunned after hearing this, he hadn't seen a serious person, but he was clearly deliberately ridiculing, and the other party was still serious and couldn't tell whether it was stubborn or dull.
This time, the lantern couldn't help laughing first, and the young monk saw that the little girl was also laughing, and immediately frowned: "Little donor, do you think what the little monk said is wrong?" ”
"There's nothing wrong with that, but it's wrong when you ask." Lantern stood up with a smile, but first ran to Hua Hate Liu and asked him to pick him up, and then replied seriously: "I started laughing because my father rarely suffers a lot, and he actually has a deflated meal, which is really rare, I think it's funny and naturally laugh." ”
"Then why do you say ......?"
"Isn't it right to say that you asked?" Rolling his eyes, the lantern smiled even more happily, "The living Buddha clearly said that 'all beings are equal', when you call me 'donor' when you call my father, when you call my aunt 'female donor', now you call me 'little donor' again...... It's just two sentences, but three different titles, I don't know if this is saying that 'in front of a Buddha, follow the fate'? If so, then I advise you not to believe in this Buddha, because inconsistencies in speech can easily make later learners go mad; If not, then you are not good at learning, so be careful that the living Buddha beats your ass! ”
Although he knew that ......the other party was taking the words out of context, the young monk obviously rarely encountered such a situation, and was speechless for a while.
"Donor's Wonder!" Just when he was proud, he suddenly saw a white-clothed monk come forward, and the other two monks immediately bowed down and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Yanshu." ”
The monk named Yanshu waved his hand and said, "It's hard work for the two junior brothers," and then asked the two to step back, and then said to everyone: "The morning lecture is over, and the second session will start at Shenshi, please disperse first!" ”
After finishing speaking, he bowed to Hua Hateliu and the others and said, "Presumably a few are guests from Xizhou, and the master has invited a few, I don't know if I can appreciate my face and talk to the back of the stage......
