Stunning Supreme Spirit Pivot

Chapter 170 Debunking [1]

"Why is the empress an unlucky person?" Fan Lingshu suddenly turned serious, "Eunuch An, what do you mean by that?"

Although the queen passed away, she was also born in a prominent family. Among the civil and military officials, there were many members of her clan. Hearing An Fu's insulting words, all of them looked ugly.

The emperor also knew that he couldn't hold back the literati's mouth, so he said, "What question does the empress want to ask me?"

Only then did Fan Lingshu smile slightly, and said: "The empress wants to ask, when she gave birth to the crown prince, the emperor Long Yan was very happy, not only pardoned the world, but also went to Dajue Temple with the empress to pray for blessings in private, saying that when the crown prince reaches the age of At the age of 15, we still have to go to Dajue Temple to worship and fulfill our vows. Now that the 15-year period has come, the queen mother is concerned about this matter, fearing that the emperor will forget it and make the gods unhappy. She entrusted me with a dream and asked me to ask the emperor. I wonder if the emperor still remembers this incident?"

This is just a trivial matter, and it was done privately by the emperor and empress back then, there is no need to think about it, the emperor said: "Of course I remember."

"That's great. Will the Emperor return to Dajue Temple this year to fulfill his wish? The empress must be very happy to know about it!" Fan Lingshu said happily.

The smile on her face was so dazzling that the emperor vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Your Majesty." At this moment, a civil servant came out.

"What's the matter with Xu Aiqing?" the emperor asked.

Xu Shangshu is the elder brother of the queen's natal family, and he has always been worried about the sudden death of the queen when he fell out of favor. No one thought it was wrong for him to speak out.

"Your Majesty, in the year the prince was born, Dajue Temple caught fire, and all Buddha statues and scriptures were destroyed. At that time, the Emperor personally ordered the temple to be closed for a thorough investigation. The cause of the arson must be found out, so Dajue Temple was closed until the next year. Later, it took another three years to repair and reshape the Buddha's body."

When Xu Shangshu said this, all civil and military officials also nodded. This matter was considered a major case back then, and later involved several monks from Dajue Temple, who were all beheaded in public.

The emperor's complexion was a little ugly for a moment, and he gave Fan Lingshu a cold look.

She blinked her eyes with an innocent face. Anyway, she only said that it was a dream she had, but the emperor said that he remembered it.

"Maybe I misremembered the time." After all, the emperor was scheming and unmoved by these doubts. "For so many years, I only remember that the queen is kind and gentle. She said she wanted to pray, and I should also pray."

After hearing his words, Xu Shangshu's complexion changed again.

"The emperor may really have misremembered it." Xu Shangshu said, "Our Xu family has followed the Tao for generations, not the Buddha."

The Xu family is a medium-sized family in Xuanyue Kingdom. The ancestors of this family were Taoist priests who specialized in exorcising evil and avoiding disasters. During the war, they got rich by chance. The ancestors were afraid that future generations would continue to do such deceitful things, so they encouraged the children of the family to study After 200 years, many of the Xu family's children have entered official careers and gradually gained prestige in the court.

The Xu family did not forget its roots even after it grew stronger. Later generations pursued learning, but they did not pay homage to the Buddha.

In this era where everyone is eager to cultivate immortals, asking questions is also a way for those without talent to comfort themselves, and not many people find it strange.

But the separation of Buddhism and Taoism is no exception in the Xu family.

The fake emperor is very indifferent and disgusted with the empress, how can he really understand her?

Asking about seeking Buddha may be a trivial matter to others, but it is no small matter for the Xu family to make a fortune by relying on Taoism.
