Chapter 58 Your Majesty, Ao Bai may have gone to Wutai Mountain to become a monk!
"Coming back?" Emperor Kangxi was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Have you caught Aobai?" β
No one answered.
Kangxi found out that Wang Zhongxiao and Xiao Guizi hadn't entered the south study yet, so he quickly opened his throat and shouted: "Xuan! Xuan Wang is loyal and filial! β
"Wang Zhongxiao is here!"
As the roll call of a eunuch sounded, Xiao Guizi and Wang Zhongxiao ran in from outside the door of the south study as if they were flying, and they were about to kneel down and salute when they arrived in front of Kangxi. Among them, Wang Zhongxiao still looks like a servant, gray-headed, and he has lost a lot of weight, and he has a sad face, which is bad at first glance!
Kangxi just chuckled in his heart, and didn't wait for Wang Zhongxiao and Xiao Guizi to kowtow and say goodbye, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't kneel, get down to business, have you caught it?" β
"Your Majesty, I was incompetent, and I chased Aobai for hundreds of miles, and I didn't catch Aobai until I reached Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province, and I still ...... I also chased and lost Aobai! β
"What?" Kangxi stood up suddenly, "Chasing, have you chased to Wutai Mountain?" What did Aobai do in Wutai Mountain? Does he want to be the king of Wutai Mountain? β
Wang Zhongxiao shook his head and said his "conjecture": "Your Majesty, Ao Bai may have suffered an accident, seen through the red dust, and wanted to find a temple in Wutai Mountain to become a monk." β
"What? Lost hair as a monk? Worship? Kangxi almost amused Wang Zhongxiao, "He still wants to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha?" β
Wang Zhongxiao replied with a confused face: "Although this Ao worship can't become a Buddha even if he puts down the butcher's knife, it is still very possible for him to become a monk on Wutai Mountain." β
"Why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty, I and others chased Aobai all the way, from Beijing City to Taihuai Town under the Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain, and then lost the trace of Aobai and others. After chasing and losing Aobai, my father also took me and others to search around Taihuai Town for two whole days, but still found nothing, not even a trace of Aobai......"
Kangxi frowned and asked, "But why do you conclude that Ao Bai has become a monk?" β
"Because there is only one Qingliang Temple around Taihuai Town, which has not been searched...... And there was no sign of Ao Bai and others leaving the area around Taihuai Town. Therefore, it is likely that Ao Bai hid in Qingliang Temple, and Qingliang Temple is a holy place for Buddhism, and if Ao Bai is not shaved, I am afraid it will be difficult to get shelter. β
"What? Asylum? Kangxi was stunned, "You didn't enter the temple to search for people?" β
"No ......"
"Why don't you search Qingliang Temple?"
Wang Zhongxiao said with a bitter face: "Because Qingliang Temple is the dojo of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and it is also a big temple of the emperor. Without the emperor's decree and the empress dowager's decree, the monks of Qingliang Temple would not let us go in to search. My father also went to find the magistrate of Wutai County, but the magistrate couldn't afford to provoke Qingliang Temple, so he just sent Minzhuang to cooperate with my father to seal the road under Qingliang Temple. So my father told me to go back to Beijing day and night to ask for the emperor's decree and the empress dowager's decree. β
The emperor of the Qing Dynasty claimed to be the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, so this Qingliang Temple of Wutai Mountain is equivalent to the family temple of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
"Why do you need the Empress Dowager's decree?" Kangxi frowned and asked, "Isn't it okay for me to make an order?" β
Wang Zhongxiao replied: "That's what the magistrate of Wutai County said...... They said that the Empress Dowager had given a decree to Qingliang Temple, and without the permission of the Empress Dowager's decree, no official was allowed to disturb the purity of Qingliang Temple. β
"Is there such a thing?" Kangxi thought for a while and stood up from his chair, "Wang Zhongxiao, go with me to see the Empress Dowager!" β
"Huh!" Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly responded, followed Emperor Kangxi's buttocks, and walked out of the south study and went to Cining Palace.
When Kangxi and Wang Zhongxiao arrived at Cining Palace one after another, the old lady Bumu Butai had just finished walking and was chatting with Aunt Su Mala and Zhang Xiaoyu...... I didn't talk about anything serious, I was just talking about the old lady and Dolgondo Amma. The old lady herself dares to say these things, and others dare to say this, and they will not die well!
But Kangxi came, and the old lady didn't talk about this, but smiled and beckoned Kangxi to come forward. By the time Kangxi finished his salute, the old lady had already seen the big man Wang Zhongxiao.
"Yo, Xiao Lu Bu is back? Worship him...... Caught, or killed? β
Kangxi got up and replied: "Huang Mama, Ao Bai was chased by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao so that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, so I had to go all the way to the west and fled to Qingliang Temple on Wutai Mountain, as if I was going to become a monk in Qingliang Temple!" β
"What?" The old lady was quite happy just now, but now when she heard that Ao worshiped on Wutai Mountain and was going to be a monk in Qingliang Temple, she jumped up.
Except for Aunt Su Mala, everyone else present was shocked by the old lady's reaction...... Of course, it also includes Wang Zhongxiao, who has long known who is in Qingliang Temple, and he also has an exaggerated expression and looks at the old lady in a daze.
The old lady didn't care about the majesty of the Empress Dowager, so she directly pointed at Wang Zhongxiao and asked, "Wang Zhongxiao, have you rushed into Qingliang Temple to search for worship?" β
"No, ......no," Wang Zhongxiao hurriedly said, "The monk of Qingliang Temple has taken out your old man's decree, how dare we go in?" β
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned and asked, "You and your father are not outstanding, so you really blocked a decree?" β
"Empress Dowager Shengming, in addition to your decree in that Qingliang Temple, there are also eighteen Arhats with big shoulders and round waists, kind eyebrows and kind eyes......"
"Hahaha......" Bumu Butai laughed.
Kangxi said beside him: "Huang Mama, Wang Zhongxiao is here to ask for a decree." Hurry up and give the next edict, if it's late, I'm afraid that Aobai will sneak away from Qingliang Temple! β
The old lady shook her head and said, "Xuan Ye, Qingliang Temple is Manjushri's dojo!" β
Kangxi was stunned, "Huang Mama, what do you mean .......?"
Bumu Butai did not answer Kangxi directly, but waved his hand to Wang Zhongxiao, "Wang Zhongxiao, this time you are also considered to have worked hard...... Although Ao Bai has not been caught for the time being, but you and your father's hard work can be called great, today you go back to rest for a night, and the emperor and I will discuss how to reward your father and son. β
When Kangxi heard the old queen mother say this, he also said to Wang Zhongxiao: "You go back and wait for the news first...... I will reward you two fathers and sons with great rewards! Kneel down. β
Wang Zhongxiao knew that the pair of grandparents were going to discuss the matter of Shunzhi's monkhood, he didn't dare to know about it, so after thanking him, he quickly followed Xiao Guizi's father-in-law out of Cining Palace, while Kangxi turned his head to look at his grandmother Bumu Butai, as if waiting for her to tell her some old secret.
Bumu Butai didn't talk to Kangxi immediately, but said to Zhang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you are Wang Fuchen's fiancΓ©e, Wang Zhongxiao is your son, you also send him, by the way, inquire about Wang Fuchen's situation." β
"Yes."
Zhang Xiaoyu made a squatting salute and exited Cining Palace, and then trotted all the way to chase Wang Zhongxiao - she had to ask Wang Fuchen what was going on? You weren't hurt by Aobai, were you?
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyu also left, Bumu Butai gave Aunt Su Mala another look, this aunt already knew the thoughts of the old queen mother, so she waved her hand to all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall, and then left with them.
In the huge hall, only Kangxi and Bumu Butai were left.
Kangxi looked at Bumu Butai and asked, "Huang Mama, what do you want to say to your grandson?" β
Bumu Butai sighed, sat down, looked at Emperor Kangxi, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Xuanye, what I want to talk to you about now is about your Amma!" β
"My Amma?" Kangxi was stunned for a moment, "Huang Mama, do you miss me Amma?" β
"No, not at all!" Bumu Butai snorted, "Your Ama is an unfilial son, but you have a good life, but you actually saw through the red dust and went to Qingliang Temple on Wutai Mountain to become a monk...... It's unheard of! β
"What? I, I'm Amma, a monk in Wutai Mountain? β
Now Emperor Kangxi was shocked again!
Bumu Butai saw his grandson's shocked face, and he was angry, "I didn't know how much I was wronged for him to be the emperor back then...... When he arrived, he said that he would pick a stall! Xuan Ye, don't learn from you Amma! β
He has been an orphan for many years, not only is Ama gone, but even his mother is gone, so he can only live with a royal mother, a group of queen mothers, three brothers, six wives and more than 2,000 young ladies and palace maids who can sleep with him at any time...... I'm used to this, why is there suddenly one more Amma, and it's a monk Amma! And this son of the monk Amma, should he be a monk or the emperor?
I don't know how long it took for Kangxi to recover from the shock of "Xide Ama", but his mind was still in chaos, and he just asked again and again: "Huang Mama, what should I do?" Are you going to bring me back to Amma? β
"Fart, please!" The old lady exclaimed angrily, "Please come back and be angry with me?" β
"Then, will I, Amma, shelter Aobai?" Kangxi's mind is already a little clear...... You can't let it go! In case Ao Bai came to blackmail the emperor Ama to order the Eight Banners, what should Kangxi do?
The old lady said, "It's hard to say, your Amma's ideas are always strange. But don't worry, I'll let Aunt Su Mala deal with it. β
Kangxi was already awake most of the time at this time, looked at the old lady and asked, "That...... What about Wang Fuchen's father and son? β
Bumu Butai said coldly: "If Wang Fuchen's father and son don't know that your Ama is in Qingliang Temple, then the two of them are still your ministers, otherwise...... Just look for a chance to get rid of them!
In addition, the reward you promised the Wang family father and son before, Ming'er will give it out! Always give them a little sweetness...... Even if you want to kill them, you still have to give the sweetness you should give. β
"Grandson understood!"
