Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 294 Yangci Temple Yang Peony
After Wei Guifang left, Li Zhiyun accompanied his wife for a walk in the garden.In the cold weather, he put on a cloak for her, and gently held his wife's thin shoulders.

"Husband."

"Ok?"

Concubine Chu said cheerfully: "Actually, you don't have to worry about my concubine. In recent years, my concubine has wanted to give birth to Lin'er for my husband so that my husband can feel at ease. Although my concubine has never been able to do so, but now the prince's heirs are prosperous, there are Jing'er, Yan'er Lie Er and Lie Er have three children, and the concubine has no regrets.

In the future, no matter which son inherits the husband, the concubine will be their aunt, how dare they not be filial to the concubine? "

In the end, the wife's jade-like face showed a hint of cuteness, and she didn't look scary at all.

Li Zhiyun stopped and gently hugged his wife in his arms.With her chin resting on her head, she said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I am actually looking forward to our future children. Jing'er, Yan'er, Lie'er, they are all your sons, but in fact, I I hope you can get your wish in the future.

Don't think too much, the world is becoming more and more peaceful now, my husband has plenty of time to accompany you in the mansion, as long as you take good care of your body, we will have ten or eight children in the future. "

Concubine Chu couldn't help giving him a scolding look, "What do you mean by being a concubine? Ten or eight children, when will you have them? When you're pregnant with Bao Niang, concubines are enough to suffer."

She said so on the lips, but in fact she was looking forward to it in her heart.

Li Zhiyun smiled and hugged his wife tightly.

"By the way, I heard that my aunt is practicing in Yangci Temple, why don't you visit her?"

The aunt is Yang Mudan.

Princess Chu thought about it and asked, "Your husband, do you mean to worship Buddha?"

"If you believe it, we can visit together some other day." He mainly wanted to relax with her.

Concubine Chu said: "How about today, I really don't know if my husband will suddenly be burdened by court affairs."

Li Zhiyun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, that's today."

Yangci Temple is a small temple located in the west of the suburbs of Beijing.

The temple is mainly dedicated to female monks, and the incense is average, not very prosperous.

A main hall is dedicated to the Bodhisattva, and a side hall is for pilgrims to rest.

Li Zhiyun and his wife followed Yang Mudan to the side hall to rest after worshiping.

"Why did Yueniang come here today?" Yang Mudan was dressed in plain clothes, with a bun in her arms, and her figure was plump and plump.

Although she was forty years old, she looked like she was in her early thirties.

Concubine Chu smiled embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "It's rare for Your Majesty to be free, so I specially came here with my concubine to worship the Bodhisattva."

Hearing this, Yang Mudan blinked her beautiful eyes, glanced at Li Zhiyun who was drinking tea, and did not reveal her niece's thoughts.

When I was worshiping just now, my nephew looked very pious, but my uncle, he can only be said to be dealing with errands, and it can't be seen that he believes in Buddhism at all.

When women worship Buddha, one is for the safety of their families, and the other is to pray for a child.

She knew that Princess Chu had no children so far, so she knew it in her heart.

Li Zhiyun put down the teacup, praised the tea as a routine, and then asked, "Auntie intends to worship Buddha for the rest of her life?"

"Does your Highness feel wrong?"

"I don't think it's wrong. It's just that some people in the court reprimanded Buddhist disciples for not respecting the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, neglecting production, and doing nothing. They tried to abolish Buddhism."

This is not Li Zhiyun talking nonsense, but the truth.Taishi ordered Fu Yi to write to the emperor many times, demanding the abolition of Buddhism.

Yang Mudan opened her mouth slightly, and said: "Your Highness clearly sees that the teachings of Buddhism are all about exhorting people to be good, and there is no thought of rebelling against the emperor. As for idleness, it is even more unreasonable. Most of the temple land is worshiped by pilgrims, and ordinary temples are more Will the land be handed over to tenant farmers for farming, and the rent and interest will be reduced, isn’t this a good deed?”

Li Zhiyun smiled and looked directly into Yang Mudan's beautiful eyes.

"Auntie, the world is in chaos, the people are displaced, and land rectification is imperative. The imperial court will not allow a small number of people to occupy most of the land. Moreover, five or six out of ten of the young and strong people died in the flames of war. It is even more necessary for the people to rebuild their homes, not to eat fast. Chanting Buddha, cultivating merit.

Besides, what my aunt said may be true in Yangci Temple, but can my aunt guarantee that all temples in the world are like Yangci Temple, adhering to their duties and being considerate? "

Yang Mudan was startled, facing Li Zhiyun's eyes, she had nothing to say.

"It's my concubine who didn't think carefully enough to make His Highness laugh."

Li Zhiyun waved his hand, "Auntie speaks a lot, let's discuss the facts."

"That concubine has the guts to ask, does His Highness also support the abolition of Buddhism?"

Li Zhiyun pondered and said: "I rarely intervene in this matter. But if you want me to tell you, I can tell you. Since the temple exists, there is a reason for it, but the current situation is no different from Kaihuang years. If the people flee Entering the door of Buddhism, Xiufo asked, then ask, who will protect the peace of the world?
In that case, my aunt might not quite understand.

Today, there has been great chaos for a long time. In the Central Plains, there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms. If the people do not work or produce, they will all devote themselves to Buddhism.

Once the northern invaders invade the south, and the court has no soldiers and no food, wouldn't the Han people suffer a catastrophe, leading to the fall of the Central Plains and the loss of artifacts? "

Li Zhiyun has no feelings for Buddhism, he doesn't like it but he doesn't reject it either.Under certain circumstances, such as now, he is not in favor of Daxing Buddhist Temple.

Not to mention laboring people and wasting money, it will also reduce national strength.

After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Yang Mudan was thoughtful.

Princess Chu on the side said angrily: "If your husband can't take it easy, you might as well go out for a walk, the concubine wants to talk to my aunt."

It was agreed to come to relax, but in the end it turned into a court affair again.

Li Zhiyun smiled wryly, "Okay, I'll go for a walk."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Yang Mudan sat next to Princess Chu, and joked with a smile: "Yue Niang is so majestic, the dignified King of Chu has to listen to you."

"Don't talk about my aunt, it's my husband who loves me." Princess Chu said embarrassingly.

Yang Mudan held her niece's arm and said with a smile, "The King of Chu loves you so much, why do you have anything to worry about?"

Concubine Chu sighed: "My aunt doesn't know something. All the concubines in the mansion come out, but I only gave birth to Baoniang, and I feel depressed. Who knows."

Yang Mudan persuaded: "I have nothing to do about this matter, I can only tell you that you can get something by relaxing."

Not mentioning them, but saying that Li Zhiyun left the side hall and met someone.

Samurai 彟.

"Why did Duke Wu come here?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu." The warrior Xun hurriedly bowed his hands.

Since the failure of the photoshoot, Samurai Xun had a bit of a bad time. The land enclosure was exposed, and he spent a lot of money to calm down.In the past, people behaved with their tails between their legs, and now they behave even more.

Li Zhiyun said: "Duke Wu hasn't answered my king's question yet."

"Your Highness, I'm here to relax."

Relax?

You are so foolish, there are so many temples in Chang'an, you don't go anywhere, but you come here, and you are thinking bad things when you see it.

He thought to himself, I'm afraid you're dreaming if you want to hit my aunt!
"Mr. Wu is very interesting, and there are many female cultivators here."

"Your Highness." The warrior Xun quickly interrupted Li Zhiyun and said, "I have never had any evil thoughts, please don't misunderstand me, Your Highness. I will leave now, and I will leave now."

After finishing speaking, he said unlucky to himself, turned around and prepared to leave.

Li Zhiyun reminded lightly: "Duke Wu, my aunt of the king is practicing here at Yangci Temple. If Duke Wu has nothing important to do, please don't bother me here in the future."

aunt?

That's right, that Cultivator Yang does have this kind of relationship with the King of Chu.

Thinking of this, Samurai Xun secretly thought it was a pity.He once caught a glimpse of Yang Mudan by chance and was astonished. From then on, he wanted to come over to increase his relationship with Yang Mudan and accomplish something good.

It's a pity that she is the aunt of Chu Wang.

The warrior turned around and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I understand that from now on, I will never come here again."

"Let Duke Wu worry about it."

"Don't dare, dare not, leave." The warrior Xun bowed his hands, turned and disappeared.

He didn't dare to offend the king of Chu. The emperor had objections to him because of the matter of becoming prime minister, so how dare he offend the current king of Chu at this time.
