Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 378 Dharma Assembly
Chu Zhengfei said: "There are too many monks entering the customs these days. There are eighty if not a hundred monks a day. If you want to talk about monks in white clothes, there are quite a few, but I don't know which one the young lady is asking. But there is a name. , where do you practice?"

"...?"

Hearing this, both of them were stunned.

For a moment, they couldn't care about their names, dharma names, or where to practice, Yu Wenye frowned and asked, "Why are there so many monks entering the customs?"

Chu Zhengfei smiled and said: "It seems that the second son and the young lady don't know about it. On August [-]th—that is, the day after tomorrow, there will be a Dharma meeting in Daxing City, and monks from all over the world will be invited. The news has spread to nearby counties. These days, monks from all over the country are rushing to Daxing City. Before that, they passed the pass in groups every day, blocking the pass. Moreover, the imperial court also promised free board and lodging for them in the counties along the way. The granaries in Tongguan are all empty. That is to say, in the past two days, most of them have already arrived in Daxing City, and there are fewer passing by."

Shang Ruyi frowned and said, "We stayed in Yanyue City before, why didn't we know?"

"This--"

Chu Zhengfei was stunned for a moment, unable to answer, but Yu Wenye who was at the side pondered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it was because of the war in the Eastern Capital, and the news couldn't get through for the time being; when we came over, we walked all the time on small roads. I didn’t see anyone, so I didn’t hear the news.”

Shang Ruyi nodded, then looked at Chu Zhengfei and said, "However, where is the ceremony held?"

"It's the royal temple, the Dharma Assembly of Dayan Temple."

"What is the purpose of this ceremony?"

"Purpose……"

Speaking of this, Chu Zhengfei also showed a strange expression on his face, and said with a half-smile: "The first purpose is naturally to preach the scriptures and promote Buddhism."

Yu Wenye said: "What about the second?"

Chu Zhengfei didn't answer immediately, but took a cautious look at Shang Ruyi.

That glance deepened the gloom that had already risen in Shang Ruyi's heart, and she seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

After being silent for a long while, Chu Zhengfei said cautiously: "The second is——the former emperor."

"...!"

Upon hearing these two words, Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated.

Yu Wenye's expression was also gloomy.

I see.

In fact, what Chu Zhengfei said before was just a slow talk. In fact, there is no second purpose for this puja. At this moment, facing such a world situation, holding the puja has only one purpose, the only one. one--

The late emperor Chu Yang!

Although after Yu Wenyuan occupied Daxing City, he had already embraced Zhao Wang Chu Chengfei as the emperor, and respected Chu Yang of Jiangdu Palace as the Supreme Emperor. In fact, he was emptied in the eyes of the people of the world, but the Supreme Emperor is the Supreme Emperor after all, and he still has the dignity of the emperor. .Moreover, since the news of his coming to heaven has spread all over the world, the new emperor who will inherit the throne must also express himself.

This Dharma conference was held just for him.

Yu Wenye also understood why Chu Zhengfei showed such a strange expression to Shang Ruyi just now.

Now that the news of Chu Yang Bintian came, Wang Shao and some of the information they added to the news were obviously known to the people of Daxing City—Shang Ruyi killed the king!

Therefore, in the eyes of the world, Chu Yang died at the hands of Mrs. Yuwen's young lady.

But now, the imperial court is going to hold such a ceremony...

I don't know where they will take Shang Ruyi.

Yu Wenye lowered her head and glanced at the people around her. Although she seemed to have tried her best to make herself look calm and indifferent, her gloomy pupils and trembling fingertips hanging on her side could not deceive anyone.

Yu Wenye stretched out his hand calmly, and gently held her hand.

"...!"

Shocked, Shang Ruyi looked up at him.

Yu Wenye didn't look at her, but said to Chu Zhengfei: "Since there is such a big event, then we can't neglect it. It would be great if we can get back in time to participate in this puja."

Chu Zhengfei also had a look of surprise on his face: "Second Young Master and—Young Madam, are you going too?"

Yu Wenye said: "Of course."

Chu Zhengfei looked at him, and then at Shang Ruyi who seemed to have calmed down.

Although Yu Wenye never looked down at herself, the warmth from her palm gradually calmed her down. Shang Ruyi even took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a smile, "Of course we will go."

"..."

Chu Zhengfei looked at them with complicated expressions.

After a long while, he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then tomorrow we will prepare a carriage and new horses, so that the two of you can travel all the way and reach Daxing City before August [-]th."

Yu Wenye said: "Then, I will thank General Chu first."

Chu Zhengfei immediately said: "The second son is serious."

So, the three toasted again and drank together.

This night, they drank a lot, but when Yu Wenye returned to the room with Shang Ruyi, the two people in the smell of alcohol were a little calmer than usual, even when Shang Ruyi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror , when he took off the hairpin on his body, he looked at Yu Wenye's eyes reflected in the mirror, and he was also extremely clear.

Yu Wenye also looked at her through the mirror.

The two looked at each other for a long while, and seemed to have something to say, but they were silent.

After a long time, Shang Ruyi finally spoke first: "The ceremony—"

"do not worry."

Yu Wenye sat on the couch in the room, and said in a deep voice: "Now that my father has become the prime minister, although Dayan Temple is a royal temple, holding the Dharma Assembly also requires the imperial court's permission. This matter must have passed. His consent."

"..."

"Since he agrees, there is nothing to worry about."

"..."

Shang Ruyi raised his eyes to look in the mirror, and his eyes moved to the hand on his knee.

Just now, when I heard the purpose of the puja, it was that rough but gentle hand that grabbed me, gave me his body temperature, and calmed myself down.

At this time, even if she just glanced at his thick fingers, she seemed to gain a little peace in her heart.

So nodded.

But after being silent for a while, she still couldn't help asking: "Then have you ever thought about who proposed to hold this ceremony?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenye's breathing seemed to pause.

He looked at Shang Ruyi's eyes reflected in the bronze mirror, and remained silent without speaking.

But in fact, this question is not difficult to answer. Since this dharma conference is a grand event of the Buddhist family, the person who proposed to hold this dharma conference is naturally a member of the Buddhist family.

However, this question is also somewhat difficult to answer-

Who is this Buddhist?

In the relatively wordless silence of the two, the night gradually darkened.

In the darkness, a group of men and horses left Tongguan and hurried towards Daxing City.
