The favorite wife of the black-bellied prime minister

Chapter 98
When mentioning his father's name, Li Shu squinted his eyes and smiled without any shame.

Both Li Shu and Li Li are easy to talk about. Gao Xian is a little jealous of Situ He and Bai Lijing. He was the one who imprisoned Situ He with the hundred army sticks last time. Seldom will he bear a grudge against him, especially with Princess Jing's fiery temper, I'm afraid he has long been disliked.

Therefore, Gao Xian deliberately asked with a smile on his face: "Is General He feeling better? The old slave has been thinking about it these days, and has been restless. Today, I saw that General He's spirit is much better, and the old slave can relax a little bit." Yes. Princess Jing, bring your son-in-law to Fahua Temple to pray for peace? Your Majesty also knows that the Bodhisattva of Fahua Temple is effective, and is praised by the people of Shengjing, so he complied with the public opinion and granted Fahua Temple a national temple. The old slave also heard that Fahua Temple The release pool in the temple can form a good relationship, why doesn't Princess Jing accompany the son-in-law to go there?"

After some concern, Bai Lijing was full of anger for the hypocrisy in the first half, and Situ He was full of anger for the second half because of his concern for Mo Wen. So, after Gao Xian finished speaking, the expressions of both of them were very cold, Unlike Li Shu's enthusiasm, he has obvious alienation towards Gao Xian.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gao, for your trouble." Bai Lijing said.

"It should be." Although Gao Xian still kept smiling, his face was quite embarrassed, so he could only turn to Master Xuankong and said: "Your Majesty said that the compilation of Buddhist scriptures will be presided over by you and Master Mingyuan. Those scriptures It is quite precious, so it is inconvenient for the Sutra Pavilion to be opened to monks and lay disciples outside. From today onwards, it will be strictly guarded by the Imperial Army. Master please forgive me."

Buddhist monks will eventually have to submit to the secular monarch. Master Xuankong clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, my emperor is holy."

"Master, where is the Sutra Pavilion? Please lead the way." Gao Xian said with a smile.

"This way please." Master Xuankong briefly led the way, leading Gao Xian and the imperial guards towards the northwest corner.

What the imperial decree proclaimed was a good thing for the people, so even if the appearance of the forbidden army caused a little commotion, it quickly subsided.As in previous years, the common people were chanting scriptures, kneading beans, and praying for blessings amidst bursts of Zen sounds. There was also a steady stream of common people who heard the imperial decree and rushed to the main hall one after another. The square could no longer stand.

Although Bai Lijing didn't want to pay attention to Gao Xian, what he said just now is not unreasonable. According to Buddhist classics, "Among all other sins, the karma of killing is the most serious, and among all merits, releasing lives is the first." In addition to sowing fate beans, the first merit is naturally the release of life.

Bai Lijing said: "Hey, there's no room for crowding in this square, let's go to the release pool. Mo Wen..."

She turned her head and took Mo Wen's hand. Mo Wen was thinking about something, and was slightly startled by her action. Then he smiled softly at her, and wrapped her hand in his palm, tightly.

Before Situ He could answer, Li Shu interjected, "Who are you going to the release pool? Jing Xiaobai, you and your husband-in-law just go together! General He, let's go get some tea and drink. You don't need money and you can wash your hands." How good it is to wash your brain and body.”

How could Situ He let Jing Xiaobai and Mo Wen be alone together, no matter how unhappy he was, he shook off Li Shu's hand and walked towards the release pool first.

"Hey! This guy who wants to die!" Li Shu pointed at his back and stared straight. Li Li blinked his big eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really wishful thinking."

Li Shu tapped her on the head again with his folding fan: "Little fox doesn't speak, no one thinks you are dumb! Eldest brother is not the only one who is wishful thinking, this is called a good match, understand?"

Li Li caressed the painful forehead, she really didn't understand, followed Li Shu's footsteps, and asked: "Who else is wishful thinking?"

There are also many people by the release pool. The water in the pool is transparent, and you can clearly see groups of koi in the water, as well as large and small turtles swimming among the stones.There are many colorful skirts standing on the white stone steps leading to the pond. Girls and young women release the fish in their hands, and follow them as they swim far away.

The release pool is very large, with twists and turns, and you can't see the end at a glance. There are lush tall old trees at the other end of the pool, and their reflections hang in the center of the pool. The colors correspond to those of the koi, which is indescribably quiet and beautiful.

In the center of the pool stands a tall Buddha statue, with hands in mudra and kind eyes. It seems to be tolerant of all evils in the world, quietly watching all those who watch him.People who are open-minded dare to look at the Buddha, but those who have ghosts in their hearts will involuntarily dodge their eyes.

Mo Wen's eyes moved away from the living things in the pool, and he looked at the Buddha without hesitation, but his lips could not help but smile slightly.

The release pond is actually ridiculous. Buying fish and turtles caught from nowhere and then releasing them in this pond seems to be a good deed, but it makes the hunting more rampant and accomplishes many things. Profit seekers, what is the point of such a cycle?
If it makes people have the idea of ​​releasing life, is it considered a good deed?Regardless of the reason and regardless of the consequences, it is conceivable that the release pool of Buddhism is just a superficial appearance.

Opposite the release pond is the tall Medicine Master Pagoda, and next to the Medicine Master Tower is the five-storey Buddhist scripture pavilion. From the shadow of the lush trees, one can faintly see soldiers from the imperial army surrounding the Buddhist scripture pavilion.

Mo Wen had an absurd assumption in his mind. The imperial army's aggressive siege of the Sutra Pavilion on Buddha's birthday must not be as simple as compiling scriptures.If you really want to revise the scriptures, Emperor Jingyuan has been on the throne for 17 years, and he will not revise sooner or later, but now he wants to bless the people of Daxing, which is ridiculous and suspicious.And Han Ye was going in the direction of Medicine Master's Pagoda, and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was only a hundred steps away from Medicine Master's Pagoda...

"Give you."

A female voice suddenly sounded beside her ears. Baili Jing put her hands together, holding two koi in her palms, and stopped beside Mo Wen. The koi wagged and danced in her palms, splashing water all over her face.

Mo Wen raised his hand to wipe off the water droplets on her cheeks, and instead of catching the two fish, he held her palms with a smile, squatted down with her, and stretched into the fish with her white hands. In the slightly cooler pool water, after his hands were completely submerged in the water, Baili Jing's palm just touched the water, and the koi swam around and jumped into the pool water all at once.

The silent man who never spoke, and the petite girl with picturesque eyebrows, squatting there together, did not make people feel any abruptness.

Bailijing tilted her head to meet Shang Mowen's eyes: "The fish took away your sickness and bad luck, and everything will be fine from now on."

This silent man seems to love his wife too much, his eyes are so gentle that it makes people intoxicated, just in a squatting position, he easily kissed her eyes, without waiting for her reply, and without looking at her eyes He lowered his head in embarrassment, watching the fish swimming and playing in the pool with his quiet black eyes, and there was an overly obvious smile on his lips.
