Noble First Daughter-in-law

Suddenly, a gust of bitter wind blew, which made the surrounding prayer flags flutter, and even the bamboo poles supporting the prayer flags made the sound of Kuku, which was shocking.

Shang Ruyi's heart also skipped a beat.

Yu Wenjian...is he going to leave Buddhism?
It was just a few days ago that she just heard that the eldest son Yuwen who had made a marriage with her and was almost married was a Buddhist practitioner, but when she heard about him again today, it turned out that he was already planning to marry him. Get rid of Buddhism completely.

The world is impermanent... There is no better proof than this.

only--

She looked up at Yu Wenye again, although there was still no expression on his face, but in the depths of those calm and deep black pupils, at this moment, a trace of complicated expression flashed.

Their words were also heard by Yu Wenyuan on the side, but obviously, it was not the first time he heard it. At this moment, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and said: "He has finally made up his mind."

"..."

"Over the years, he has delayed a lot of time."

"..."

"But fortunately, there is no delay in major events."

He didn't say the word "major event" seriously, but it fell heavily on Shang Ruyi's heart.

event……

And Yu Wenyuan was already facing Yu Wenye, smiling and said: "From now on, when your elder brother comes back, you two brothers can count on him to rely on, you must work together and be loyal to the country."

Yu Wenye bowed his head and said, "Yes."

Standing beside him, Shang Ruyi watched him remain calm, even as calm as the surface of a frozen lake, but he couldn't help but feel the agitation in his heart.

At this time, she finally understood why Yu Wenyuan had always disapproved of Yu Wenqian's cultivation of Buddhahood, but this time he held the puja with such great fanfare and allowed him to preside over it himself. It turned out that it was because of this.

From now on, Yu Wenjian will officially return to Yuwen's home.

More formally, back to the eyes of the world!
Speaking of which, Yu Wenyuan has everything today, which is naturally inseparable from his own bravery, military exploits and popularity accumulated over the years, but there are two other reasons, which are also indispensable.

One is that Yu Wenjian captured Daxing City in advance and opened the city gate to welcome him into the city.

Second, it was Yu Wenye who sent King Zhao to his side.

Comparing the two, it is obvious that Yu Wenjian's contribution is greater, and it is more remarkable than ordinary military achievements. This makes this Yu Wenjian, who has never shown up for a long time and has almost zero military achievements, suddenly jumps to the top of everyone's list. in front of.

Not only that.

If it is said that before, everyone only heard the rumors about the "God-assisted" Prince Yuwen, then today, Yuwenzhen's appearance in this puja is the first time he has appeared in the imperial court for the first time in these years. , and even revealed his true body in front of thousands of people.

This majestic Dharma, thousands of Buddha lights, seem to be prepared for his appearance!
In comparison, other people, even the outer altar puja, seemed less important.

Although she knew that she should concentrate on herself today, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but look at Yu Wenye, especially when she saw his pupils that were so dark that they couldn't reflect a gleam of light, her heart became a little heavier.

At this moment, a bell rang not far away.

Everyone originally had their own thoughts, but they were all pulled back by the long and heavy bell. Master Xinzheng smiled and said: "Everyone, the Dharma conference has begun. Please sit down with the Prime Minister and everyone."

Yu Wenyuan raised his hand: "Let's go."

Therefore, he took the lead to walk to the front row of the Daxiong Palace, and sat in the most central position, followed by the officials and wives of the court, who lined up according to their ranks.

Yu Wenye, as the second-rank general of Fuguo, sat in the third row, and Shang Ruyi sat beside him.

After sitting down, Shang Ruyi raised her head and took a look.

Although they were very close to the main hall, almost only a few steps away, they could climb the steps and walk to the door of the main hall, but at this moment, the main door was completely closed, and they couldn't see what was going on inside.

There is only a low table in front of the gate with a copper chime on it.

I don't know how the Queen Mother is inside...

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's heart throbbed a little, but she immediately calmed herself down. After all, the door was closed and no one was seen, which meant that nothing outside could disturb her, but she might have to face the next Come down with all the storms.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and looked around again.

When I looked forward, I found that a seat next to Yu Wenyuan was empty, and no one was seated.

Strange, today all the officials are arranged according to rank, Yu Wenyuan is supposed to be an important minister in the court, why is there one vacant?

She said suspiciously: "The vacant seat is—"

Yu Wenye also looked up, and said softly: "It may be Ji Hong's position."

"Ji Hong?"

The name brought back some memories of Shang Ruyi, she said softly, "Master Nayanji?"

Yu Wenye looked at her: "Do you recognize him?"

"How could I have such an opportunity, I just mentioned it to my father when I was a child, this Master Ji is loyal to the emperor and the country, and everyone says he is a rare loyal minister."

More importantly, in Jiangdu Palace, the Lord Nayanji who was beheaded by Chu Yang was his son.

Yu Wenye sighed softly, and said: "This Lord Ji is a courtier of Emperor Wen, mature and dignified, and was praised by Emperor Wen as an 'Eternal Loyal Minister'."

"Then why hasn't he served in the court all these years?"

"When the late emperor ascended the throne, this lord Ji proposed twelve good strategies for governing the country to the late emperor, but they were all rejected by the late emperor; the late emperor built the Eastern Capital and built a canal, and this lord Ji also wrote several times to dissuade him, so he was displeased by the late emperor. Afterwards, when the Eastern Capital was built and the imperial court moved to the east, Master Ji even knelt in front of the palace gate, crying to prevent the late emperor from leaving Xijing, but was dragged down by the late emperor and detained at home."

"..."

"Over the years, he has stayed in Xijing, far away from the imperial court."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but sighed.

Recalling that Lord Nayanji, who was beheaded by Chu Yang in Jiangdu Palace, was also killed because he offended Yan and asked Chu Yang to leave Jiangdu, send troops northward and seize Dongdu, and offended Longyan.

The father and son were equally loyal to the monarch and the country, but they also ended up in the same bleak end.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

However, just after she sighed, there was a long and clear chime sound from the hall in front of her, which attracted everyone's attention. When they looked up, they saw Master Xinzheng walking slowly. He sat down at the low table, bowed to the people below, and said: "Amitabha, in this hall, poor monks will preach scriptures for you."

The people below put their palms together and chanted Amitabha Buddha.

Then, Master Xinzheng began to recite scriptures.

Shang Ruyi could tell that what he was reciting was the "Ullambana Sutra", which was a scripture for salvation, and it was naturally for Chu Yang. Although some of the people below did not understand Buddhism, they still listened very carefully. There were a few people in the corner, their eyes were obviously flickering, and they kept looking at the Shimen behind them.

After a cup of tea, Master Xinzheng finished chanting, got up and walked away.

Immediately after, Master Duhai, the abbot of Duofu Temple in Taiyuan Prefecture, was reciting the "Ksitigarbha Sutra". But this time Master Duhai was old and slurred his speech, everyone was struggling to hear, and Shang Ruyi even saw a few people dozing off.

She couldn't help giving a wry smile.

However, there is something strange in my heart.

Today's event—no matter what the inner altar ceremony is, but the outer altar ceremony is for Chu Yang, and the person directly related to his death is himself. Even Yu Wenyuan said that everyone in the world will think about it. Ask yourself for an answer.

Why until now, not only has no one spoken, no one has even mentioned this matter.

Could it be that they were all mistaken?
Once the emperor and the courtiers, now that the new emperor has been established, is it true that no one cares about Chu Yang's death?

Shang Ruyi always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't say it out, so she could only sit quietly, listening to the Buddhist scriptures, and constantly trying to calm herself down.

Yu Wenye beside her glanced at her.

In fact, even if she didn't look, she would know that no matter how peacefully Shang Ruyi sat, her heart would not be at peace, but at this moment, instead of uttering any words of comfort, he only raised his head and glanced at the closed Great Hall in front of him.

At this time, Master Duhai's "Ksitigarbha Sutra" has also been recited.

When he got up to leave, the one who came forward again was the accomplished monk of Dayan Temple, the brother of Master Xinzheng and Master Xinjian.Although he is already an octogenarian, his voice is like a torrent of bells. When he started to recite, word by word, it seemed to be ringing in the ears of everyone below——

Hearing this, at one time the Buddha was in the twin sala trees of the country of Kushina, and at that time when the World Honored One passed into parinirvana...

……

The Buddha told the Universal Bodhisattva Mahasattva that if the disciples of the fourth generation are dying, if they are not yet dead, and wish to be born in the Eastern Xianglin Temple, the Buddha's name is...

The Buddha told Universal Bodhisattva Mahasattva that if there are good men and good women who wish to be born in the Jinlin Temple in the southeast on the day of their death, their Buddha name is...

The Buddha told the Universal Bodhisattva Mahasattva that if there are good men and good women who, on the day of their death, speak the original voice of the Southern Lelin Temple, their Buddha name will be...

When everyone was listening to the scriptures quietly, suddenly, a louder voice sounded behind him, but it was also a voice full of anger, and suddenly suppressed the voice of Master Xinjian——

"I don't know life, how can I know death?!"

These words are like a boulder thrown into a peaceful lake.

The surface of the lake was immediately aroused by thousands of waves.

When everyone heard this sentence, they all showed astonishment but nervous expressions, and Shang Ruyi's heart sank.

Like everyone else, she turned her head away immediately.

I saw a white-haired old man in official robes, with shambling steps, walking in from outside the stone gate step by step with a cane. His eyes were red, as if he was carrying infinite hatred. Every step in the eyes, every step, is engulfed in Wanjun Thunder.

As soon as they saw him, there was a low cry from the crowd.

"Master Ji?!"

Shang Ruyi's eyes widened all of a sudden, it was none other than Nayan Jihong they were talking about just now!

I saw this Ji Hong walked, and said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about dying! Dying! You haven't figured out what happened to the late emperor before he died, how can you save him here?!"

His words, like a thunderbolt, resounded through the entire Dayan Temple.

Everyone seemed to have been woken up by him, and they slowly came back to their senses in astonishment. Everyone around turned their heads, and their sharp gazes focused on one person.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

She knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.
