Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 54 The Buddha's fate is broken (finale)

The heavenly monk left.

No one knows where he went.

Xie Qingyun did not persuade him to stay.

After Huicheng settled the refugee situation, he formally came to bid farewell to Xie Qingyun.

He is going back to White Horse Temple.

The abbot of White Horse Temple is getting older. As the chief disciple, he should go back to help with the chores.

Xie Qingyun gave him a few unique Buddhist scriptures that were treasured in the palace, and ordered Yunyang to personally send him back to Baima Temple.

She did not deprive him of the title of Imperial Master.

Huicheng thanked her and looked at Xie Qingyun without the fear at the beginning and the desire later on.

Only honesty remains.

If you don't enter the world, you don't know the suffering of the world.

Now that he had let it go, he suddenly understood what the Heavenly Monk said.

Huicheng smiled and finally let go of his obsession.

............................................................

Xie Qingyun continued to be her emperor.

In three years, she dealt with a group of people who opposed the imperial examination headed by Cui Peiyuan in exile.

Cui Peiyuan fell. This time the official department was completely without a person in charge, and all political affairs were delegated to Xie Qingyun.

Xie Qingyun was not upset, and promoted several junior officials with no background but ability, and then handed over the talent training and some political affairs to Zhang Shuyue.

Zhang Shuyue was so angry that he said he had been ill for three days.

It wasn't until Xie Qingyun sent someone to give him a lot of supplements that he was "invited" from the house.

Of course Xie Qingyun herself has no time to spare.

Stay up all day and all night to review the mistakes.

She often lamented to Runliu that her life was miserable.

The nights she stayed up now were all because of the water that got into her head when she committed the murder.

Fortunately, she survived until three years later in good health.

The first batch of women to participate in the imperial examination passed the selection process and officially participated in the palace examination.

Because it was the first batch, the number of women was not large.

But each of them is very good, and all of them passed the palace examination and got Jinshi.

Xue Jingguang even got second place in the exam, which greatly saved her father's face.

Even now in the court, there are fewer officials scolding Xue Fang for following Yan's influence.

But there were many more people who wrote to accuse him of disrupting the imperial examination and delivering answers to their daughters.

Xue Fang still accepted the order, smiled and accepted all accusations and doubts, and turned around to continue to flatter Xie Qingyun.

When Xue Fang's daughter Xue Jingguang found out that Xie Qingyun was the emperor, she was shocked and didn't recover for several days.

When they left, Xie Qingyun said that she had a lot of property.

She wondered how many more there could be.

I didn't expect it to be this "much".

Rounding it all off, even she and her father can now be considered part of Xie Qingyun's "family property."

While Xue Jingguang was shocked, he also sent greetings to Yan Guan's family from the bottom of his heart who spread rumors.

The emperor was obviously gentle and friendly to the people, but they spread rumors that she was cruel and murderous.

She was asked to say that this man was just narrow-minded and could not see the excellence of women.

As long as there are outstanding people, they must be slandered. If they cannot be slandered on political matters, they will be slandered on personal matters. It is really abominable.

However, no matter how resentful Xue Jingguang was, he could not do anything to those who talked nonsense.

After all, no dynasty is short of gossips.

She did make several concessions to impeach those officials.

But Xie Qingyun did not criticize.

She seemed unfazed by the slurs.

Xie Qingyun was busy with other things.

She is busy reforming to make people's lives better.

With Xie Yan's help, she disposed of all the vassal nobles and weakened their power in just five years.

But just when everyone thought Xie Qingyun's trip was to consolidate imperial power, she made a bolder decision.

Divide your power.

All major events in the future will need to be voted on by the eight most important officials in the court and the emperor.

The emperor no longer had the ability to monopolize power.

Then Xie Qingyun issued another decree——

The throne is no longer hereditary, but is contested fairly through elections, and everyone has the right to vote.

The incident shocked the country.

Everyone is uneasy because of this change.

But several months have passed, and the country is still running.

It was not affected at all by the changes in imperial power.

Even their lives are getting better and better.

In order to be transferred to the capital and take office, many local officials formulated various policies to benefit the people so that the people could vote for them in the election.

Those officials whose corpses were lying bare will soon be thrown down by the common people.

Replace with a better new official to take office.

Because the officials and the people worked together, the border was quickly pacified.

The Eastern and Western Turks split and no longer had the strength to invade, so they all surrendered.

Daqi is now in Haiqingheyan, a peaceful and prosperous scene.

..................................................................

At noon, the bird shadows outside the window floated in a layer of verdure, and there were a few chirping noises from time to time.

Xie Qingyun was lying on the beauty's couch, barefoot, eating grapes.

Since she distributed the power, she is now relaxed.

Xie Qingyun listened to the birdsong happily and closed her eyes lazily in the summer breeze.

Eight years have not left many traces of time on her face.

Xie Qingyun is still as good as ever.It's just that the anger between her eyebrows disappeared, and she became calm and gentle, a little more calm than before.

Runliu walked in, looked at her bare feet, and frowned slightly.

Xie Qingyun raised her eyes lazily: "I'll put on my shoes soon."

A few years ago, she let the palace people go out, and many people left.Of course, there were some left, so she tore up the contract and changed it to a monthly salary.

Junliu and most of the other eunuchs stayed.

They will be the last eunuchs.

After all, from now on, even the throne will no longer be hereditary, so naturally there is no need for bloodline protection such as eunuchs.

She was even preparing to promulgate the law and begin to practice monogamy.

However, this law is still under discussion. After all, she has no power, and people have to vote for whatever she wants to do.

Junliu sighed.

"The Eight Ministers rejected His Majesty's request to abdicate."

"."

This is No. 12 times.

Xie Qingyun didn't know why these people insisted that she continue to be the emperor.

After saying "Oh," Xie Qingyun closed her eyes and continued to listen to the birdsong outside the window.

How nice it sounds, so noisy.

Run Liu glanced at her and said expressionlessly, "There is one more thing."

"An old friend of your Majesty's wishes to see you."

"No." Xie Qingyun waved her hand.

"Just say I'm busy."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, there were footsteps outside the door.

"Your Majesty no longer wants to see his old friend?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Xie Qingyun opened her eyes in surprise: "Monk, why are you here?"

Huicheng smiled: "Of course I'm here to visit His Majesty."

He has now become the abbot of White Horse Temple. There are many chores in the temple, and it is not easy for him to come out.

"I just didn't expect that His Majesty is so busy with government affairs that he doesn't even have time to see his old friends." Huicheng teased.

Xie Qingyun apologized with a busy smile.

Huicheng joked with her and quickly changed the topic to the purpose of his trip to the capital.

"The eminent monks from Tianzhu are coming to Daqi. White Horse Temple will hold a sutra debate recently. If possible, I would like to invite your majesty to come and watch the ceremony." Huicheng said.

White Horse Temple.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Xie Qingyun would be unhappy when he recalled that person, Runliu gave her a worried look.

But seeing Xie Qingyun's expression as usual, she quickly responded: "Okay."

..................................................................

Xie Qingyun went to Baima Temple.

Also going there was Yunyang.

The scene when Yunyang came here to catch the monk many years ago is still vivid in my mind. Now when the monks see him, they can't help but walk around.

However, Xie Qingyun, the initiator, was the exact opposite of Yunyang and was even popular among monks.

These monks had no idea that eight years ago, Xie Qingyun had the intention to massacre the entire temple in order to keep one monk.

Xie Qingyun was led into the highest-equipped room in White Horse Temple.

She stayed for two days, and the debate between Tianzhu and Daqi had not yet begun.

The time in the mountains is long and leisurely, and Xie Qingyun will go for a walk in the mountains whenever she has nothing to do.

She actually wanted to go to the place where Tianseng once lived, but it was so steep that she couldn't climb up.

Runliu suggested taking her up, but Xie Qingyun refused.

After wandering around for a long time, she finally found some tools that could help her climb the rock wall.

Xie Qingyun fell down after trying it several times. She was bruised and swollen, but she still tried.

Finally, on the 20th time, she climbed up.

I saw the hut where the heavenly monk once lived.

The house was dilapidated and abandoned. Xie Qingyun pushed the door open and went in. There was only a dusty box in the house.

Open it and there is a Buddhist bead inside.

The Buddha beads emit soft golden light, which makes people feel calm when looking at them.

It is said that the heavenly monk was born with a Buddhist bead in his mouth, and that bead was probably this one.

Xie Qingyun picked up the beads and put them in her palm to examine them carefully.

However, the beads suddenly cracked the moment she touched them, and then broke apart in her palm.

The Buddha's light dissipated in an instant.

Xie Qingyun was at a loss and wanted to put the beads back together, but she couldn't do it anyway.

The prayer beads are broken. Could it be that something happened to the heavenly monk?
Xie Qingyun was so anxious that she was in a hurry to go out and wanted to rush back to the capital to let the craftsmen repair the beads.

But he ran directly into a hug.

Looking up, she saw the face that made her miss it day and night.

"you……"

Issei looked at the Buddhist bead in her hand and said regretfully: "It's broken."

But unfortunately, it was not sincere at all, and there was even a hint of a smile.

Xie Qingyun was stunned for a long time: "But this is yours..."

"It's my fate as a Buddha." Yicheng said.

"Now that the relationship with Buddha is broken, we can no longer become a Buddha." He looked at Xie Qingyun pitifully.

"I remember that His Majesty said eight years ago that he would marry me as his royal wife."

"I don't know, do you still want to count?"

Finish.

　To explain, the setting is that Tianseng was born to become a Buddha, but in the end because of his encounter with Xie Qingyun, he chose to give up becoming a Buddha and stay in the mortal world.

　　This book is not long and may not be very well written, but I have no intention of finishing it hastily.Originally I thought there would be a frame-up scene and later a chase at the crematorium, but I really didn’t like that kind of plot.These characters may have character flaws, but they are not heinous people.

　　So I wrote this ending.I'm quite satisfied myself.

　　In addition, the new book may be released next week.Thank you to the readers who have supported me all the way. It’s been a long journey. See you soon!
