Chapter 482: The Prince's Apprenticeship (I)
There is no need to seal Lin Wan's move.
The news that Yasukuni was the crown prince of the dynasty and was about to apprentice with the monk Yifan spread throughout Yasukuni.
Behind this, of course, is the handiwork of Buddhism.
After all, for the monks, Feng Linwan is still one of their spiritual leaders.
And this time, Feng Lin Wan, who is about to accept the prince of Yasukuni, is undoubtedly a carnival for many monks.
Under the intensifying public opinion.
Not only did many courtiers begin to oppose the old emperor's move.
Even some vassal kings sent envoys to Beijing to conduct various temptations openly and covertly.
Perhaps in the eyes of many vassal kings, the old emperor found such a master for the crown prince, the apprenticeship was fake, and the help for Buddhism was real.
I want to borrow the power of Buddhism to fight against the power of the local feudal kings.
If all this is true, then the vassal kings will have to find a way to preempt the attack.
It can even be used to attract some support from Jingyang Palace.
After all, the rivers and mountains of Yasukuni are all surnamed Zhou, and Jingyang Palace doesn't care which one becomes the emperor.
However, if the monks intervened and snatched away the interests that belonged to them, Jingyang Palace had to intervene.
In such a stormy situation, the old emperor's body in his last years deteriorated.
Although the prince is arrogant, he still has filial piety after all.
Because the old emperor only has an only son, he has always valued this only son, but he is not compared with the general royal family, and the father and son are estranged or even like enemies.
Although he was still unconvinced, he still went to Qingquan Mountain again.
He knew that he had to settle the storm.
The whole thing needs to be given.
As long as he apprentices to Yifan and becomes a fait accompli, then all the chaos will be calmed down in a short time.
On the contrary, if he hesitates for a day, those who have the intention to make trouble will have one more excuse and reason.
In the name of thinking about the prince, he meddled in this matter indiscriminately and added trouble to the old emperor.
It's just the second time he went up the mountain, and the prince's situation is still not very good.
This time... The reason Feng Lin was looking for was to go out.
There is also another tip left.
The prince opened the bag and got a painting.
There is only a bright moon and a donkey under the bright moon.
The prince was puzzled, so he could only take the painting back to the palace and ask his advisers to help unravel it.
"Mr. Yifan, I don't know what the painting means?" When the prince opened the bag and unfolded the painting, the old gentleman who was in charge of delivering the news was also there, so he saw it really.
After sending the prince away, the old gentleman was also very puzzled, so he came in and asked Feng Linwan for advice.
"It's not interesting, I drew blindly. Feng Linwan said with a smile.
··· !
The old gentleman himself had thought of many answers, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Isn't that gentleman playing tricks on the prince?" said the old gentleman a little angrily.
This is a man of temperament.
Tune··· Teach the prince, of course, he has no opinion.
But after all, the crown prince is the prince of Yasukuni, so he plays like this... Isn't it child's play?
What is this the prince doing?
Feng Linwan sat up straight, and then said, "Old gentleman, don't be angry, although the painting is blind, the exam questions are true." ”
The prince took the painting back, and when he couldn't find an answer, he naturally thought about it in every possible way and gathered the advisers to discuss it together. If he can put aside his prejudices and come up to me for the third time to ask for answers, it means that he has a desire for truth. A person may not be the smartest, but he must not be perfunctory and unintelligible. "Feng Linwan said that the head is the Tao.
Naturally, the old gentleman had nothing to say.
So three days later, the prince came to visit Feng Linwan again with dozens of answers summed up.
This time, he finally met the rumored monk Yifan.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of appearance, Yifan Monk is very heartbreaking.
Although he is young, he has an extraordinary bearing.
If it was just to make a friend, the prince would be very willing.
"Dare to ask sir, what is the meaning of this painting?" After a few polite words, the prince went straight to the point.
Feng Lin smiled and asked, "Why did the prince explain it?"
When the prince heard this, he summed up many answers recently, one by one.
The picture of Lin Wan's hand-scribbled on the letter really has been interpreted from many different angles and with a variety of different academics.
There were some answers that made Feng Linwan feel a little breathtaking.
Originally... What else does that mean?
But the truth is often so brutal.
"What if I tell the prince that I am scribbling this with my own hands, and how should the prince deal with himself?" The prince was still spitting on his explanation, confident and energetic, feeling that he had reached the pinnacle of a certain realm, and even felt that he could impress the monk in front of him through this speech, making him ashamed of himself and taking the initiative to resign from the post of prince.
However, the results are always heartbreaking.
The gap between ideals and reality is so unguarding.
"What?" the prince asked again.
"I scribbled this picture. It wasn't interesting in the first place. Feng Linwan said directly, without the slightest intention of changing the answer.
Rumble!
The prince directly overturned the table.
"Too much deception!"
"Lonely... Immediately send troops to Qingquan Mountain and take you to prison. Bold fanatic! Dare to play Lone like this!" The prince was mad, he didn't expect that there was really someone who was so mad that he dared to play the prince of the dynasty.
Feng Linwan laughed and said, "Zhou Xi! Zhou Xi! You think I'm playing with you? Yes, I'm playing with you, but I also taught you a lesson." ”
"I'm teaching you to keep the truth from the false, I'm teaching you how to distinguish the true from the fake, and I'm teaching you to see clearly that the people around you are all incompetent mediocre people. ”
"I'm just a small temptation, and they all fall into the pit, not only can't they share your worries, but they embarrass you, such a mediocre person... How can you rely on them to support you in the future and maintain the dynasty?"
The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and he will inevitably rely on those ministers in the palace at this time, and these people will inevitably be like fire and water with the feudal forest that is clearly distinguished from them.
Therefore, Feng Linwan is taking the opportunity to take a preventive shot, and directly make those guys disgusted by the prince. These guys kicked them out before they were in power.
"You're the crown prince... You are the prince... Or rather, the future emperor. Do you think that no one in this world dares to play tricks on you, no one dares to lie to you, no one dares to coax you?" Feng Linwan stood up suddenly, pointed at the crown prince Zhou Xi and said: "I'll tell you today, you are wrong! The higher you stand, the more people will deceive you, and when you are surrounded by people who deceive you, no matter how much you want to take care of this country, you are also a virtuous monarch, and you are also the lord of the country." ”
In the face of Feng Lin's majestic momentum, most of the anger in Zhou Xi's heart was removed, and he sat down on the ground with a 'click'.
His lips trembled repeatedly, and the prince took a few deep breaths, and finally came back to his senses and sorted out his thoughts.
sorted out the description a little, then clenched his fists, his voice was still trembling, and said to Feng Linwan: "Mr. Today's words are deafening, lonely... Don't forget it. I also asked Mr. to accept Gu and teach him personally, so that Gu can truly understand what is the principle of governing the country. ”
The prince softened.
Or rather... Whether it was because he was shocked by Feng Lin Wan, or because he had sharpened his temperament, he was finally convinced.
But Feng Linwan waved his long sleeves and said with a cold face: "I don't ask the reason for entering the room, I don't hide my anger, I vent wantonly, I don't distinguish between right and wrong, and I don't ask about the end." It is not enough to be a person, let alone a king. A disciple like you... Don't take it!
After saying that, he pointed to the door and said coldly: "Get out!"
