Chapter 18: Don't be a monk, or be my son-in-law, right?
Xuanzang took the blood book and went straight to Chang'an. www.biquge.info On this day, he finally arrived at the door of Prime Minister Yin's mansion.
The doorman stepped forward to stop him, and Xuanzang said: "I am a relative of the prime minister of your family, and now I am here to save my relatives." ”
The doorman replied to the prime minister, and Prime Minister Yin said: "When did I have a monk who is a relative? This person is probably a liar, let's drive it away." ”
The Prime Minister's wife said on the side: "I dreamed of my daughter Gillian last night. Could it be that the son-in-law sent a letter?"
When the prime minister heard this, he felt justified, so he asked his subordinates to invite him to the living room.
Xuanzang came to the living room, saw the prime minister and his wife, and shouted: "Oh, grandfather, go and save my mother!"
The prime minister hurriedly stopped: "Stop, stop! Monk, whose grandfather are you calling!"
Xuanzang said: "I, I'm Chen Xuanzang! I'm your grandson!"
The lady said angrily: "Master, whose nun did you abduct and run!"
The prime minister exclaimed: "Wronged! It's not like that at all!"
Mrs. said: "Since there is no such thing, why did a monk call you grandfather!"
Xuanzang shouted again: "Grandma!"
The lady said: "It turned out to be a crazy monk!
When Xuanzang saw that it was going to be bad, he immediately knelt on the ground, presented the blood book with both hands, and said loudly: "My mother's name is Yin Wenjiao!
The prime minister took the blood book and read it carefully three times, and cried bitterly after reading it.
The lady asked anxiously: "What is said in the blood book, why is the master so sad after reading it?"
The prime minister said: "This monk is indeed our grandson! Son-in-law Chen Guangrui was killed by the thief, and my son Gillian was forcibly taken by the thief as his wife. Madame also wept bitterly.
The prime minister gritted his teeth and said: "Madame is not worried, and when I come to the morning tomorrow, I will personally command the troops, rescue Gillian, and avenge my son-in-law." ”
The next day, the prime minister entered the court and played the Tang King and said: "Your Majesty, there is now a son-in-law Chen Guangrui, who led his family to Jiangzhou to take up his post, and was killed by the thieves Liu Hong and Li Biao, and took my little daughter as his wife, pretending to be an official for many years, which is really an unforgivable crime. His Majesty, set up soldiers and horses to exterminate the thieves. ”
The king of Tang was also furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered Prime Minister Yin to take 60,000 elite soldiers to suppress the thieves.
Without further ado, the army stayed overnight and rushed to Jiangzhou, where they captured Liu Hong and Li Biao in one fell swoop and rescued Gillian. The facts of the case were white, and the accomplice Li Biao Ling Chi was taken to the riverside to sacrifice his heart to comfort Chen Guangrui's soul in the sky.
said that Chen Guangrui had an adventure and saved the Dragon King of Jiang here. Later, he died, but with the help of King Jiang Long, he kept his body from decay and his true spirit was not destroyed. Today, the case was revealed, and the Dragon King returned Chen Guangrui's soul and sent him ashore to reunite with his family.
Prime Minister Yin Cheng took Xuanzang's family back to Chang'an together, and on the way, he picked up Chen Guangrui's old mother Zhang, so far, the family is reunited, and everyone is happy.
Emma, tragedy immediately turned into comedy! Ben Xiaodao also likes this routine.
When I arrived in Chang'an, all the officials came to congratulate him. The next morning, the Tang King felt that Guangrui had suffered for many years, and he felt Xuanzang's filial piety, so he summoned the father and son to meet together.
Tang Wang said: "Chen Aiqing has suffered for many years, and today he finally got out of trouble. I want to reuse it for you, and I will be promoted to the knighthood. ”
When Chen Guangrui heard that he was going to be an official again, his face immediately changed, and he stepped forward and said: "The minister is reunited with his family, and now he just wants to recuperate in peace and quiet, and ask His Majesty to take back his life." ”
King Tang observed the words and looks, knowing that he had palpitations, and said with a smile: "I want to make you a bachelor, follow the government of the court, and do not delay your family reunion, 9 to 5 on weekdays, do not clock in and out, take two days off every week, and do not delay your time for recuperation, how about it?"
When Chen Guangrui heard that he was working in Chang'an, he was relieved and quickly knelt on the ground to thank him.
King Tang said to Xuanzang again: "The little monk traveled thousands of miles to get rid of thieves for the country, rescued your mother, and avenged your father. I don't know what reward you want, as long as the request is reasonable, I will allow you. ”
Xuanzang not only avenged his father's revenge, but also saved his mother, and now the only thing he thinks about is to go west to learn from the scriptures and cure himself of this headache.
So he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is merciful. The poor monk became a monk since he was a child and worshiped my Buddha. Now that I have heard that Mahayana Buddhism is popular in the West, I would like to travel west to retrieve the true scriptures, promote the Dharma, and educate the world. That's enough. ”
Tang Wang said: "The state religion of my Tang Dynasty is Taoism, and Yuan Tianshi is the national teacher of my entitlement." Buddhism is just a small religion and is not enough to worry about. What's more, this way to the west, you have to pass through thousands of mountains and rivers, every time there are many dangers, you can't go. ”
Xuanzang was originally full of hope, but now seeing that King Tang was not allowed, he couldn't help but say urgently: "The poor monk is dedicated to the Buddha, and I hope that His Majesty will approve it!"
Seeing Xuanzang's stubbornness, King Tang was displeased, and said: "I have made up my mind, and the monk doesn't need to say much." ”
When Prime Minister Yin Cheng saw King Tang's uncertain expression, he secretly pulled the corner of Xuanzang's clothes and signaled him not to say more.
The headache has tormented Xuanzang for two years, and now the Tang King is not allowed, so he cannot go west. If you can't go west, you'll have to continue to have headaches!
Xuanzang also let go this time, knelt down and continued: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has only one wish, please think twice." ”
King Tang was furious, and said left and right: "Come on, pull this monk out for me." ”
When Xuanzang was pulled out, he was still shouting: "Your Majesty, let the poor monks be fine! Your Majesty, let the poor monks be fine!"
When Prime Minister Yin heard that he was going to be pulled out, he was shocked, and quickly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, my nephew is young and ignorant, and he has offended Long Yan, please read his filial piety, and be merciful outside the law, and spare him the death penalty." ”
King Tang saw that Prime Minister Yin had misunderstood him, so he gently soothed: "What did Aiqing mean here? I just saw that your nephew was young and ignorant, and his personality was stubborn, and he didn't want to listen to him, so where would he take his life? Aiqing is too worried, please hurry up." ”
Prime Minister Yin Cheng was relieved and knelt on the ground to thank him.
The king of Tang was in a depressed mood, announced his retirement from the dynasty, and announced that Prime Minister Yin's study was sacred.
Prime Minister Yin was taken to the imperial study by the eunuch in the palace, and he was in a nervous mood and saw the king of Tang.
The king of Tang gave him a seat, Yin Cheng thanked him for sitting, and a little eunuch offered fragrant tea.
Tang Wang said: "Aiqing, your nephew's stunned young man really gives me a headache." ”
Prime Minister Yin said: "He is young and ignorant, please forgive him." ”
Tang Wang said: "You also know that Yuan Guoshi's mana is profound and he is proficient in alchemy. The elixirs that I take on weekdays to strengthen my body and prolong my life rely on Yuan Guoshi's refining. Moreover, this Taoism is the state religion of our Tang Dynasty. Your nephew said that he wanted to go west to learn scriptures and promote Buddhism, but he didn't want to rob the incense of Taoism. It's hard for me to do that. ”
Prime Minister Yin Cheng said: "Hehe, how does my nephew know how important Yuan Guoshi is to His Majesty? He is simple-minded, grew up in Jinshan Temple since he was a child, and has been influenced by Buddhist thought since he was a child, and is devoted to Buddhism. Your Majesty, don't bother with him. ”
Tang Wang said: "Filial piety comes first, in fact, I still like this young man very much." You go back and persuade him, and just tell him to be vulgar. I have a youngest daughter, Princess Changshan, who is fifteen years old, with a beautiful face and is also intelligent and clever. If you can persuade him to be vulgar, I will marry the princess to him, what do you think?"
Prime Minister Yin said: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, I will go back and persuade him." However, he has been a monk since childhood, and I am afraid that he will not be able to comprehend His Majesty's kindness. ”
Tang Wang said: "Alas, marriage is originally determined by heaven, if he doesn't have this blessing, no one can barely come." But there is one thing, if he insists on not changing, I don't want to see him again, let alone allow him to travel west to learn the scriptures. ”
Prime Minister Yin said: "Weichen understands. Thinking that the west is far away, the road to the west is difficult, and Weichen doesn't want him to do this. Even if he is not blessed to marry the princess, Weichen will definitely persuade him. ”
Tang Wang said: "Aiqing understands the reason, and I am very happy." I hope you can persuade him to turn back, and when the time comes, we will be a family. It's settled, Aiqing go back. ”
Prime Minister Yin thanked him again and retired.
Back at home, Prime Minister Yin told Mrs. Tang what King Tang meant, and Mrs. heard that His Majesty intended to give marriage, and it was very likely that he would be a relative of the emperor, and she was also very happy, so she began to persuade Xuanzang.
However, Xuanzang didn't have this idea at all, Mrs. Yin's wish was destined to fail, and the marriage was over, Xuanzang became an otaku and stayed at home all day.
It didn't take long for Xuanzang to live unaccustomed to it, saying that he wanted to go back to Jinshan Temple, Prime Minister Yin had no choice but to allow him to go back to Jinshan Temple to continue practicing.
Xuanzang agreed verbally, but he thought in his heart that after returning to Jinshan Temple, the emperor was far away, so he found someone who applied for a fake certificate, ran a high-imitation customs clearance document, and quietly traveled west.
It is said that the Bodhisattva and the Hui'an Walker came to Chang'an and lived for more than ten years. On this day, Hui An said to the Bodhisattva: "Master, you once said that it only took two or three years to come to the east this time, and now you have lived there for more than ten years.
The Bodhisattva said: "Don't worry, this Tang Wang Yangshou is approaching, and things will soon take a turn for the better." ”
When Hui An heard this, he suddenly realized: "I understand." As soon as Tang Wangyang's longevity is over, he will go to the underworld. Nadifu is the territory of my Buddha Gate Jizo King Bodhisattva. Although the underworld is under the control of the heavenly court, if the Jizo Bodhisattva wants to do something in it, it will be easy to think about. When the time comes, I am not afraid that the Tang King will not change his mind. ”
The Bodhisattva exclaimed, "You are really smart, disciple. In fact, I really admire the Buddha. As early as a thousand years ago, the Buddha calculated today's events thoroughly, and laid out so many dark chess pieces in advance, which is really boundless Buddhism. It seems that I should also go find a Bodhi tree and sit more. ”
Hui Anqi said: "Why did Master say this?"
The Bodhisattva knew that he was speechless, so he smiled and said: "Remember, the Bodhi tree has the effect of purifying the heart and calming the mind, which is conducive to the meditation and meditation of people in my Buddhism. ”
Hui An said respectfully: "Master Xie mentioned something." ”
The Bodhisattva said, "We just have to wait quietly, and after a short time, the task will be completed, and then we can go back to the Buddha to return to the Buddha." ”
Hui'an Point first said yes.
