Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Emperor Goes Up the Mountain
Cao Tingyue went directly to the courtyard presided over by the abbot, and the abbot seemed to have calculated that he would come, and he didn't look surprised, just smiled, "You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Cao Tingyue suppressed what he wanted to say, then lowered his eyes and sat down in front of the chessboard.
The endgame in front of him is not a difficult game to break, but maybe it is because Cao Tingyue has something in his heart at this time, so he can't calm down and look at the game of chess in front of him for a while, so the game is not very good.
The abbot glanced at him, then sighed, put down the chess pieces in his hand, and glanced at him, "You have something on your mind." ”
This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence, which seems to be able to see at a glance what is in his heart.
The abbot is still holding a string of Buddha beads in his hand, and he is slowly turning at this time, "The Buddha said that people have seven emotions and six desires. Lao Wei thought that he had been in seclusion for many years, and he had already bid farewell to Hongchen, and these so-called seven emotions and six desires had long been far away from Lao Gao's world. But I didn't expect that now that I have been with the donor for many years, I actually have a little side thoughts. ”
Cao Ting looked at him more and more.
He said, "I always feel that I have long regarded the donor as a friend of the old man, and since it is a friend in trouble, it is always difficult to treat it as if I have not seen anything, and I always think about whether I have the ability to help you do something." ”
He shook his head, "The affairs of the world should have been decided by the world itself, but in this way, it is not the old man's fault." ”
Cao Tingyu was already very embarrassed, but now when he heard the abbot say this, he lowered his eyes even more, and then sighed again, "This really makes me unable to open my mouth, and I have nowhere to say it." ”
Listening to it this way, it means that there is really something to ask the abbot to preside.
He is the abbot of Huguo Temple, and his words are that the emperor should listen to two more sentences, and the people who have asked him to do things in the past few years are really more than the carp that has crossed the river, but as he said before, he is a born person, and he will not listen to any people's desires.
He just said, "It's better to tell the Buddha all these things, maybe the Buddha will give you the answer."
But he also knows that he is the only one who can give the answer.
"What's the matter?"
But when it came to Cao Tingyu, he seemed to be shaken. It's not because of Cao Tingyu.
It's because the abbot seems to think that he and Cao Ting are more and more fateful, this fate should not come suddenly, maybe it is not known what the Buddha meant.
He was kind and kind-eyed, as if he was a living Buddha, and asked this sentence very ordinarily.
"I want to borrow the Huguo Temple that I host."
Cao Ting sniffed the state more and more, but still said this, and after saying it, he felt more and more ashamed.
In fact, in any case, this matter is just for their own selfishness in the end.
Whether he wants to return to the palace for a long time, or he wants to help him return to the palace for a long time, it is actually a trivial matter.
It's just the two of them who have been fulfilled, but he actually wants so much, and wants to burn down this Huguo Temple that so many people rely on.
But the abbot didn't seem to think as much as he thought, and just asked, "What a borrowing?" ”
It was really not Cao Ting's way to behave more and more, so he took a deep breath and said everything.
Then there was a long silence.
Cao Tingyue also understands that it would be a bit ridiculous to say that the temple was going to burn people for no reason.
But Chief Fang seemed to be really considering the feasibility of this matter, and it took him a while before he spoke, "But will it ensure the safety of everyone here in me?" Won't there be a fork in the road? ”
- This?
What does that mean? Does this mean agreed?
Cao Tingyue was a little surprised, he couldn't answer for a while, but under the gaze of the abbot, he subconsciously nodded, "Of course, this is of course." ”
Then the abbot was silent for a while before nodding, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
Cao Ting stood up more and more violently, "Why is this?" ”
He really couldn't figure it out, because he felt that the abbot really had no reason to agree.
Besides, he is not a big traitor, if the abbot refuses, then he will probably change his mind and think of other ways.
The abbot has been in contact with him for many years, and he will not know his character, nor will he not know that this matter can be refused.
But he did not refuse.
The abbot glanced at him, then smiled, "Why did the old man refuse?" He took the chess pieces again and rubbed them in the palm of his hand, "Lao Qu thought to himself, the Buddha sent you to Lao Gu's side, we have become such a year-old friend, there are few red faces on weekdays, almost everything can be the same, it is really a rare confidant in life, such a person, I can't find it, I'm afraid it was sent by the Buddha." ”
He was drooping, but his eyes were still so clear, "If the person sent by the Buddha has this request, I believe that even if the temple is burned, the Buddha will not blame." ”
He smiled, "These are just things outside the body, as long as you don't hurt people, the old man won't have any opinions." ”
Cao Tingyue lowered his head and took a deep breath, "Thank you for hosting." ”
The presiding abbot shook his head, "That Fifth Princess, Her Royal Highness has seen it twice, it's a good one, but you never look away." ”
Speaking of delay, Cao Tingyue was a little embarrassed, he smiled, and was embarrassed to speak again.
The abbot looked up at him again, "Okay, can we sit down and finish this game again?" ”
Cao Ting became more and more ashamed, and hurriedly sat down, then pinched the chess pieces, and focused the whole person's attention on the chessboard.
Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
-
The emperor did not go up the mountain until the next morning, and the attendants looked all embarrassed and tired, but the masters were still shining brightly.
Naturally, the emperor did not look a little tired, and he even went to see the abbot first.
The abbot presided over and the emperor was considered an "old friend", and the emperor also relied on the Huguo Temple to accumulate some good reputation for him, and the prestige of this host among the people was indeed not low, but it seemed to be the real Buddha's spokesperson.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the abbot is okay?"
The abbot greeted the emperor and recited the sentence "Amitabha", "Everything is thanks to His Majesty's blessings, and the old man is still strong." ”
"That's fine, the abbot's body has always been a concern for me." The emperor took a sip of tea, and his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily, this is on the mountain, and all the conditions are just like this, if you want to have more requirements, I am afraid that it will be difficult.
The emperor is very clear about this, besides, the abbot has not said a word here, if he rashly says that other people's tea is not good, although he is an emperor, it does not seem to be so appropriate.
The emperor put down the teacup and smiled, "The mountain is quiet, and this time, I will bother the abbot for a few days." ”
That means you're going to stay here for two days. Generally speaking, the emperor is busy, even if he comes to pray for blessings, it must be just a stick of incense, and it would be good for the people to see it, but he didn't expect that this time he was planning to live here?
It can be seen that this time the matter is indeed a bit serious.
The abbot shook his head, "Huguo Temple originally relied on Your Majesty, but now Your Majesty has something to ask for, and Lao Wei is naturally doing his best to help Your Majesty, so why bother." ”
The emperor sighed, "Abbot, you are a person who has reached the sky, can you help me take a look, when will the flood in Nan'an be solved?" ”
The emperor had no way to do it, but when he came to Huguo Temple, he really believed that the monk came, and he actually asked the abbot when the flood would be solved.
The emperor thought that this kind of thing was a natural disaster, but he didn't think it was a man-made disaster, so he felt that he seemed to have nothing to do.
But the abbot didn't seem to think like this, but he lowered his eyes and covered his eyes, "Your Majesty, don't worry, God has arranged such a thing." ”
The emperor shook his head, and seemed to be very troubled, "I am not in a hurry, but most of the people who suffer are ordinary people, they are displaced, and many of them have lost their loved ones. ”
He just said this in front of the abbot, and if he really said it, he wouldn't have a little self-reproach.
The abbot also knew very well, and he said, "Your Majesty, I think the Buddha will definitely hear your words and solve your problems." ”
The Emperor sighed, "I hope so. ”
The emperor and the abbot sat opposite each other for a while, but for a long time the two did not speak again, but the emperor only felt that his heart seemed to be calmed down in this way.
He doesn't like to come to Huguo Temple on weekdays, but every time he comes, he is actually a little reluctant to leave, probably because he feels that this place and the air are comfortable and soothing.
The emperor first went to see the abbot to preside, and the queen naturally went to Jiahe's courtyard first.
She is full of satisfaction with her daughters she hasn't seen for a long time, where can she take care of so much.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Ah Ci guarding the door, she raised her eyebrows, and Mama Li beside her had already reacted quickly and said, "Ah Ci, why are you guarding outside?" ”
When Ah Ci saw that it was the queen mother, she quickly knelt down to say goodbye, but the next moment, it was as if she had found the backbone of the heart.
Now that the queen mother has arrived, Her Royal Highness can't see clearly, but the queen mother won't see clearly, and she will naturally know that an old man like her who has been by His Royal Highness's side for so many years must be good.
Thinking like this, tears welled up in the corners of Ah Ci's eyes, "Niangniang, you can be regarded as here!" ”
When the queen heard this, she thought that something was wrong with Jiahe, and she was shocked at the moment, "What's wrong?" But what's going on?! ”
