127 times, Prajnapara laughed when he heard it, and the court still recited the Heart Sutra

Mei Zhenyi stood behind her father and saw this scene, and felt a little funny and a little emotional in her heart, how arrogant Xue Huaiyi was in the Nanxiahe market, and now he was beaten in Nanya, and how humble he was begging for mercy.

The sage said, "My way is consistent." Many people often boast that no matter what they do, under what circumstances, they can be consistent without being humble or arrogant, which is easy to say, but can they really do it?

If you can really do it, even if you don't have the cultivation of Dacheng Zhenren, you are close to the state of mind of Dacheng Zhenren. Behavior in the world is not necessarily magical magic, walking, sitting, lying and everything is practice.

A few days ago, on the north bank of the Yellow River, Mei Zhenyi peeked at Empress Wu and Mr. Sui's fighting, and knew that this person's cultivation realm had reached the extreme of the world's law, and that cultivation and state of mind were one.

Empress Wu has such an unpopular male pet, Mei Zhenyi also thinks it's very strange, and is secretly thinking about it there, Mei Xiaolang saw that Xue Huaiyi was beaten badly enough, and persuaded Su Lianghei: "Boss, it's just a lesson to that guy, if you break people, the Queen Mother's face is not good-looking." ”

Su Liangsi was also angry, and he didn't want to really break people, so he waved his hand and said, "That's it, drag that guy out." ”

Xue Huaiyi was dragged out of Nanya in a miserable way, and his subordinates helped him up, already looking like he had a blue nose and swollen face. The grievance and frustration in Xue Huaiyi's heart were mentioned, and he didn't wash his face and change his clothes, so he went directly to the palace to find the Empress Wu to complain.

Of course, Su Liangsi and Mei Xiaolang knew that Xue Huaiyi was going to enter the palace to complain, but they didn't take it seriously, and they were still busy with each other after a few discussions, as if nothing had happened just now. Aren't they afraid that the Empress Wu will blame them? Mei Zhenyi watched from the sidelines and understood very clearly, these two prime ministers are really not afraid.

The big boss of a company raised a concubine outside. Occasionally, the role of secretly having sex, but this little concubine broke into the company's board of directors and yelled at her, and was taught a lesson by two executive directors. Who can blame for this matter, but can only blame this little concubine for her own indiscretion. If the big boss is a person who understands, he can only thank the two executive directors, and if the big boss is a fool, then he can't sit firmly in the position of the boss of this company.

Mei Zhenyi could see it, but Xue Huaiyi couldn't figure it out, and he still had a nosebleed. went straight to the Forbidden Palace to see Empress Wu.

Empress Wu was reviewing the chapter in the imperial study, and heard the news from outside the door that Master Xue was coming, and then saw a bald monk with a disheveled nose and swollen nose rushing into the door, throwing himself at his feet and crying: "Queen of Heaven...... Su Liangsi, that old man...... He dares to hit me!" At this time, Xue Huaiyi already knew who was beating him.

"Teacher, why did he beat you?" Empress Wu stretched out her hand to help him up, and asked softly, the word "Teacher" is Empress Wu's affectionate name for Xue Huaiyi.

"I went to Nanya to find Zong Chuke for something, and I saw that the old man Su was rude. Just said a few words about him...... You see they beat me, and Mei Xiaolang also did it. Xue Huaiyi saw that Empress Wu had a gentle attitude, and as he spoke, he rolled into her arms.

If Mei Zhenyi was present at this time, he would have been surprised to see Empress Wu. She smiled softly all the time, like a little woman talking in front of her lover. and the martial queen who fought with Mr. Sui in the sky that night, it should be a person, but it is not the same person at all.

Xue Huaiyi was waiting for Empress Wu to vent her anger, but Empress Wu reached out to help him up. There was still a flattering smile in his smile, but he seemed to say with disgust: "Ah Shi should only enter and exit the north gate, and the prime minister of the south government department should come and go, how can they offend each other?"

This gentle sentence is like a bucket of cold water, and Xue Huaiyi's arrogance is completely gone, and he no longer dares to find anyone's bad luck. Empress Wu not only did not blame Su Liangsi, but accused Xue Huaiyi of playing the wrong place. Although the tone was very gentle, like talking about a naughty child, Xue Huaiyi didn't dare to cry anymore.

When Empress Wu saw Xue Huaiyi's appearance, she smiled again and said, "That kind of place, Ah Shi will still go less in the future." After thinking twice, I said that you have ingenuity, so I will order you to supervise the construction of the Ming Hall in the palace, and it is convenient to make an errand to enter, so that you will not be messing around outside. ”

Give a slap to a date. Let Xue Huaiyi undertake the royal key project. If you have something to do and oil and water to fish, you don't have to do anything outside. Ancient and modern high-ranking officials and magnates at home and abroad. Most of the methods used to arrange people close to them were similar, and even the Empress Wu was no exception. Xue Huaiyi's mind became smug again, and he thanked the martial queen coquettishly.

Empress Wu stretched out her hand and touched his colorful face: "Master, why didn't you tidy up your appearance when you entered the palace, and you didn't even shave your beard and hair?" Go back and clean it up, I will send someone to the Winter Department to spread the decree and order them to find someone to help you prepare." ”

Empress Wu said that Xue Huaiyi did not tidy up his appearance, not only because his nose was blue and his face was swollen, but because his beard and bald head were not shaved in time, and even his stubble was exposed, which really did not look like the master of the White Horse Temple. Xue Huaiyi was also surprised when he touched his head, this bald head was newly shaved yesterday, how could it grow so fast? After receiving the order, he also hurriedly left, and went back to wash his face, apply plasters, shave his head, shave, and change his clothes.

There were two wills in the palace that day, one was to order Xue Huaiyi, the master of the White Horse Temple, to enter the palace to supervise the construction of the Ming Hall, and the other was to hear that Feng Siqiao, the imperial historian of the Right Su Zhengtai, was injured in arresting thieves, and he was rewarded with 10,000 yuan.

Among the ministers, there are also confused, or deliberately find faults, the winter official to supplement the king of the king heard that the Empress Wu appointed a monk to build the palace, and specially wrote to ask the Empress Wu to castrate Xue Huaiyi, so as not to defile the palace. Empress Dowager Wu ignored it, and Mei Xiaolang and others were angry and funny, so they treated it as if they didn't know, and the matter was so confused.

On the morning of the second day, after discussing the daily government affairs, Empress Wu asked: "What else do you have to play?"

Wu Chengsi came out of the class and said: "In recent years, Yangzhou has been in turmoil, and the total eclipse of the moon has appeared, and the people of the world have discussed a lot, and some people have taken the opportunity to confuse the public and plot different intentions. The minister asked the queen of heaven to issue a decree to the world to open up the way of speech, receive the world's speeches, and follow the example of the ancient sages to punish evil and promote good. ”

Mei Xiaolang came out of the class to say: "The left and right Suzheng Tai imperial history has heard and said things, and evaluated hundreds of officials in the world, this dynasty has already been customized, so why issue another decree?"

Wu Chengsi shook his head and said: "The imperial history evaluation of hundreds of officials, it is inevitable that there will be one omission, and the small people are afraid of the powerful, and they often dare not stand up when they encounter problems. My suggestion is to allow people all over the world to submit anonymously. ”

Mei Xiaolang still wanted to say more, but the Empress Wu waved his hand on the seat and said: "The country is not customized, for the people, and when it is established, it will be established." What should I do if I submit a letter anonymously?"

Wu Chengsi glanced to the side, and the servant Shi Yu Chengye came out of the class and said: "The son of the minister, Yu Baojia, has always been ingenious, and he specially designed a thing for the queen mother. If the Queen Mother is interested, she can invite him to come to the court to demonstrate. ”

Empress Wu: "Deliver a decree to meet you." ”

Mei Xiaolang saw that Wu Chengsi and Yu Chengye sang and harmonized, and the Empress Wu agreed very happily, knowing in his heart that this play was probably discussed a long time ago, so he returned to the class and said no more.

There was not much time, and the fish guard walked into the temple door with a wooden box. The wooden box is a sample of a copper box. There are four compartments inside, each with four slots, which looks a bit like a modern postal box, and the letter is thrown in, and it cannot be opened without a special key.

The Yubao family also gave the four boxes a nice name. The east side is called "Ting'en", which is dedicated to the hymn of poetry, and those who have not met talent can seek to enter the body; the south side is called "edict", which talks about the gains and losses of the government, and the west side is called "redress of grievances". Those who have unjust complaints can hand over the pleadings; the northern part is called "Tongxuan", and all kinds of good and bad confidential matters can be reported in writing.

Empress Wu listened very interested, when the court ordered the construction, ready to stand in front of the palace gate, the people can anonymously submit the letter. She was very happy and rewarded the fish for the five-grade winter official Langzhong. The Yubao family was happy to get the reward, and for the time being, he did not go down to the palace and retreated to the end of the courtiers.

The matter is over. The autumn official waited for Lang Jiang Hua to come out of the class and played: "Mei Zhenyi, the captain of Wuzhou, came by order, and yesterday he went to Wenchangtai to hand over the order, and was listening to the announcement outside the palace. ”

Empress Wu smiled: "It turned out to be the son of the Mei family, I have heard his name for a long time, so I will announce his arrival in the palace." ”

Mei Zhenyi went to the hall, bowed and saluted in a proper manner, and stood with his hands down after flattening. This was the first time he had seen Wu Zetian in history and legend face to face, and he couldn't help but quietly raise his eyes and take a closer look. I saw the charm and charm of this hairpin ring woman. It's said that he is not young. But he still has bright eyes and bright teeth, and he does not show any old age.

Mei Zhenyi had a very strange feeling about the woman in front of her. Although the born Fan Dai is enchanting, there is a momentum of not being angry and powerful, sitting there, as if it is naturally the center of the whole hall inside and outside, not only because of the location relationship. This person does have an imperial spirit, Mei Zhenyi has seen a lot of people from childhood to junior and ninth-rate, but he has never seen this kind of momentum in a woman.

What made him even more strange was that it was not exactly the same as the martial queen who saw the ground from afar a few days ago, it was obviously a person, but it seemed to be a different person, and he couldn't tell where the difference was, but he didn't feel the coercion of the supernatural power in his spiritual consciousness that day.

He peeked at Empress Wu, Empress Wu was also looking at him, and as soon as his gaze met Mei Zhenyi, he hurriedly lowered his head. I only heard the Empress Wu ask: "You young man, the first time you enter the palace and come to the top of the main hall, how dare you keep raising your eyes to spy on the mourning family?"

Hearing her ask, Mei Zhenyi simply raised her head and replied: "The queen of heaven has a dignified appearance, which has never been seen in the world, so that she can't turn her eyes." ”

Empress Wu smiled, laughed quite happily, and deliberately asked him as if he was amused: "The son of the Imperial History of Fang Cai Yu went to the palace, and he answered in front of me for a long time, and he didn't dare to look up and take a second look, why is this, doesn't he want to see more of the palace's appearance?"

Standing at the end of the courtiers, Yu Baojia was frightened when he heard this, and the wooden box in his hand almost fell, Mei Zhenyi said: "The majesty of the queen of heaven is unparalleled, and it has never been seen in the world, so that the fish boy does not dare to force his eyes." ”

Empress Wu nodded, her smile was very charming: "When you first enter the court at a young age, you can answer calmly, it's not easy." Mei Zhenyi, you have made great contributions in Wuzhou, what reward do you want? I heard that you are both civil and military, and you have the style of a father, so how about staying in the palace and guarding the general?"

This smile made Mei Zhenyi's heart a little furious, and he secretly said in his heart: "Why does the Empress Wu look at me with such eyes? Shouldn't you look at my handsome man and fall in love with me? Let me enter the palace as a guard, can I also be her male pet like Xue Huaiyi, this must not be done!"

His heart was furious, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "The minister is the heir of Sun Simiao's real mantle, and he worships Mr. Donghua Zhong Liquan as his teacher, and he has long had the heart of Taoism. Sun Zhenren didn't want to enter the court as an official back then, and Zhenyi followed the teacher's training, nor did he want to enter the court. ”

In a hurry, he moved his master Sun Simiao out, and everyone in the world knew that Taizong and Gaozong had recruited Sun Simiao to enter the court and confer officials, but Sun Zhenren insisted on refusing to accept it. Mei Zhenyi refused in this way. It doesn't seem rude, and it sounds logical.

Empress Wu was not angry, she still nodded and smiled: "You have the heart of Taoism? Very good, I heard that you live in Qiyunguan in Wuzhou, and Princess Yuzhen often visits Taoism in the temple after becoming a monk, is she okay?"

As soon as she heard this, Mei Zhenyi understood the matter between Princess Yuzhen and him, and Empress Wu was also very bright. Only pretended to reply: "Master Zhiying is practicing in Wuzhou, everything is fine, and he prays for the queen of heaven every day." ”

Empress Wu: "It's hard to bother with this child...... Mei Xiaolang taught his son well, rewarded six pairs of jade, and named the third son Mei Zhenyu as Tong Zhilang. ...... Mei Zhenyi, you can step down. ”

Empress Wu rewarded Mei Xiaolang and named Mei Zhenyi's third brother the official, but did not reward him. Who called Mei Zhenyi to claim to have a heart for the Tao and was unwilling to enter the court. And Princess Yuzhen let him run away, so don't sell it anymore if you get cheap.

Mei Xiaolang stepped forward to thank him, and Mei Zhenyi took the initiative to retreat to the end of the courtiers and stood opposite Yubao's house. At this time, Empress Wu remembered one thing, waved her hand, and said, "Xuanfa Boat goes to the palace." What do the mourners want to hear about his recitation?"

It turned out that the little monk Fazhou had already entered Beijing, and Empress Wu didn't remember to see him until this time. Not long after the order was issued, a bald-headed little monk who looked to be only a teenager walked into the main hall and came to the middle to bow to the Empress Wu. Empress Wu saw that there was no anger on his face. just asked lightly: "Fazhou, someone accused you of inciting the monks of Chang'an to resist the decree, but is there such a thing?"

Fa Zhou shook his head baldly: "There is no such thing, it is someone who can't argue the scriptures, deliberately slander and frame, don't listen to slander and slander." ”

Empress Wu: "I already know what you say, and I don't want to listen to one side of the story, so I will edict you to come to the gods." Do you remember what the decree says?"

Fa Zhou: "Of course the little monk remembers that the holy decree says, 'Which scripture does Fa Zhou recite on weekdays?' If you can recite this sutra to avoid the sin of disrespect, please come to Luoyang to chant the sutra, if you can't avoid it, please accept it yourself.'" So I came. ”

Empress Wu's face sank: "Since you are here, what is the scripture?" Just read it!"

Fa Zhou cleared his throat. Looking around, it looked a little funny. I only heard him recite aloud: "Bodhisattva Wutianhou, when you walk deep in Prajnaparamita, you will see that the five aggregates are empty, and you will overcome all suffering. Relics, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, the color is empty, and the emptiness is the color. The same is true of what you want to do. The relics are the emptiness of the Dharma, which is neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased, so the air is colorless, and there is no desire to act ......"

The fundamental classic of Buddhism's Mahayana "The Great Prajnaparamita Sutra", referred to as the "Great Prajna Sutra", was obtained by Master Xuanzang on his journey to the west and personally translated into Chinese, with a total of 16 large and small parts, 600 volumes, and more than 480,000 words. The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, or Heart Sutra for short, which outlines the entire outline of the Prajnaparamita Sutra, is only 206 crosses, but it is the core and essence of the Prajna theory, and it is also the general practice of the Buddhist Mahayana practice of the deep Prajnaparamita Mind Method.

Xuanzang's translation of the 26 crosses "Heart Sutra" is extremely condensed in language, smooth and elegant rhetoric, and profound and far-reaching righteousness, which is a classic in the history of religion, thought, and literature. It was widely spread in the Tang Dynasty, and the Empress Wu worshipped Buddhism, and the ministers of the court and the central government knew this "Heart Sutra" even if they did not understand Buddhism, and almost most people could recite it.

The scripture recited by Fa Zhou is the "Heart Sutra", but the first three words were changed, and "Guanzi" was changed to "Wu Tianhou".

When he chanted the sutra, he first recited the first five words aloud - "Wutianhou Bodhisattva". The ministers were all stunned, and they didn't understand what this little monk meant? Fa Zhou paused, and then continued to recite the following scriptures, and then everyone suddenly realized that this little monk was reciting the "Heart Sutra" that everyone was familiar with.

There was a pleasant laugh from the court, it was Empress Wu herself, she was not only amused by Fazhou, but also covered her mouth and laughed. The ministers looked at the little monk's funny appearance, and listened to him read this strange scripture seriously, and wanted to laugh, but in front of the martial queen, he could only hold back. Now that Empress Wu is laughing by herself, everyone doesn't have to be nervous, they all laugh together.

Mei Zhenyi also smiled, he taught the Dharma Boat on the bank of the Yellow River was this trick, and at this time he found that this little monk was really a comedy genius. There was laughter in the court, and only Fa Zhou was a person with a serious face, and read it word by word very solemnly, how to look at this serious state and make people laugh.

The laughter in the court was even louder, and the sound of the chanting of the Fa Zhou could no longer be heard, and even the guards outside the hall looked at each other when they heard the laughter, I don't know what happened in the early court today?
