Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 231 Throne
The emperor couldn't help but glanced at the noble concubine Wang gratefully, and he almost couldn't help but spoil the big event!He also smiled, and said: "That's right, I have come from a long distance, and the horses and horses are exhausted, so I should take a rest first. What Wang Guifei said is good, let's discuss this matter again! Discuss again!"

The abbot Zhimiao at the side was already in a cold sweat. If the emperor was offended, the Da'an Guo Temple would suffer!Although people from outside Fang looked very lightly on life and death, they couldn't ignore the lives of hundreds of people in the whole temple.

So they led the way in a hurry, and they came to the Daxiong Palace together, where there are many relics of the Tang Dynasty.Five rooms wide, three rooms deep, cloth tiles, double cocked and single lowered, five-step brackets, flower arches in the middle, single-eave hanging wooden structure.In the hall there are three tall and exquisite three-body Buddhas, 4 meters high, unique in shape and lifelike.There are 8 square meters of Buddhist murals on the left and right of the hall, which adopt the traditional meticulous heavy-color painting method, with bright colors and vivid images.The copper tower is a two-story wooden building with double eaves on the top of the mountain. There are fences around the upper and lower floors and wooden ladders to climb upstairs.

Walking into this Da'an Guo Temple, I found that it was built on the mountain, the overall layout is patchwork, pavilions, halls, temples and Zen rooms are closely connected.The main courtyard of the temple is divided into upper and lower floors, and the side courtyard is divided into two entrances, inside and outside, with a total of four courtyards.The main buildings include Daxiong Hall, Copper Tower, Bell and Drum Tower, Wanfo Pavilion, Guandi Pavilion, Guanyin Tower, Ten Kings Hall, and Dongbin Tower.

The emperor was very preoccupied, and he was just looking at the flowers on a horse, and he was not very interested. Although everyone thought it was new, they were not too surprised after seeing the grandeur and grandeur of the Huguo Temple, and the emperor was so anxious. , everyone knows it well, so how can they show great interest?

The emperor was indeed restless. He also expected Master Zhixuan to reject the request to be the national teacher, so he made such a big fanfare and made it known to the world. He just wanted to show his kindness and show his great honor. Master Zhixuan is still unmoved under such honor and favor, what should we do?

If Master Zhixuan insisted on refusing to go back to the capital with the emperor, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't threaten Master Zhixuan. At that time, the emperor would be ridiculed by all the people in the world!Maybe Master Zhixuan will end up with a reputation of not being surprised.But the emperor will lose his face, and people in the world will say that the emperor has no morals and virtues, so he can't get the help of Master Zhixuan!

Because although Master Zhixuan declined the invitation of the late Emperor Xuanzong, he contributed a lot to the construction of the Buddhist temple.The prosperity of Buddhism today is not unrelated to Venerable Zhixuan. In the past, Wuzong’s extermination of Buddhism almost wiped out Buddhism. After Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, it was revived. Master Zhixuan contributed a lot.

Since Wang Guifei said she wanted to worship the Buddha, she knelt down in the Daxiong Hall sincerely, and the emperor just lit a stick of incense before discussing countermeasures with the ministers.Wang Guifei not only offered a large amount of sesame oil, but also rewarded many daily necessities to Da'an Guo Temple. Of course, the abbot was extremely grateful.

Master Zhixuan also held a puja for Concubine Wang Guifei. After all, he is a member of the royal family. Although he has no intention of being a national teacher, he does not want to offend too much.All the concubines knelt down piously, and Yang Yu also knelt quietly under the head of Master Zhixuan, hoping that all the suffering would be gone as soon as possible. Although he smelled a strange fragrance, the fragrance The product is elegant, quiet, sweet, refreshing, and makes people feel peaceful.

Yang Yu immediately smelled that it was agarwood, and it was extremely precious water agarwood!Yang Yu couldn't help opening her eyes, looking around for the source of the fragrance.Why was Yang Yu so surprised, it turned out that this agarwood is very rare, even the top-grade ones are even rarer, even in the imperial palace, let alone in this Buddhist temple?

Yang Yu took a closer look and found the source of the fragrance. It turned out to be from Master Zhixuan's rosary.Yang Yu was very close to Venerable Master Zhixuan, and could clearly see the elegant style of the rosary beads, and the strange fragrance was very precious.
With a thought in Yang Yu's mind, she couldn't help but smile a little.When the Dharma meeting was over, Yang Yu left the abbot Zhimiao to find out what Master Zhixuan liked, and of course Abbot Zhimiao obeyed, saying: "Master Zhixuan has no desires and no joys or sorrows at all. To Huajing, I don’t have any special preferences!”

Yang Yu smiled lightly, and said: "I see that Master Zhixuan seems to be very fond of Chenxiang, I wonder if that is the case?" Abbot Zhimiao's eyes lit up immediately, and said: "Your Majesty is more observant, not bad! If you insist on finding out the knowledge Master Xuan's preference is only for this agarwood! Although this agarwood is a precious thing, it is very rare, but Master Zhixuan has traveled around and rescued many people in suffering. Bring some agarwood, almost master Zhixuan will use it as a spice, and the best ones will be made into living bases for Buddha statues, and the rosary in Master Zhixuan's hand is the extremely precious water agarwood!"

Yang Yu nodded, thanked him and left, smiling coldly, it seems that Master Zhixuan is nothing more than that!There is a saying in Buddhism that there are five sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness and death are suffering, love and separation are suffering, resentment and hatred will cry, not getting what you want is suffering, and the five aggregates are suffering.Master Zhixuan didn't even break through this!Only when there is no love and no hatred can there be no desires and no pursuits, and Master Zhixuan still has something he loves, which shows that the Tao is not very deep!
Yang Yu firmly believed that she would be able to persuade him and do the emperor a great favor.Yang Yu sighed deeply, now she hopes to quickly dispel the emperor's suspicion, let her give birth to this child safely, and worry about other things later.

The emperor discussed with the ministers for a long time, but there was no result. They had nothing to do with the Buddhists.The emperor couldn't help being irritable, and decided to have a final showdown with Master Zhixuan, and earnestly beg him for the last time, if he couldn't succeed... The emperor was very distressed, and didn't know how to end this matter.

Tang Yizong was such an impulsive person who did not think deeply about things. In terms of strategy, he was not even one-tenth of Xuanzong's. I really don't know how Yingming such as Xuanzong would have such a son.

I was thinking wildly.Chang Man suddenly said that Mrs. Chu was asking to see him, and the emperor couldn't help being a little surprised. What's the matter with Yang Yu, who came to see him?Yang Yu came in and said with a faint smile: "The concubine sees the emperor! The concubine has important matters to discuss with the emperor, the emperor please stand back!"

At this time, Chang Man was the only one in the meditation room where the emperor was, and these words were clearly meant for Chang Man.Now Chang Man's mind is uncertain, and there are many things Yang Yu doesn't want him to know.Chang full of knowledge and interest hastily retreated.The emperor remembered what Wang Guifei said about Yang Yu's refusal to accompany her, and his dissatisfaction arose in his heart, and he said coldly: "What's so mysterious about Mrs. Chu?"

Yang Yu knew the emperor's heart knot, and turned a blind eye to the emperor's indifference. She just said straight to the point: "I know that the emperor is worried about Master Zhixuan. I have a suggestion. I don't know whether to say it or not!"

The emperor couldn't help being interested. The emperor never doubted Yang Yu's intelligence. If she had a clever plan, it would be the best. So he calmed down and said, "Oh? What's the plan of Mrs. Chu?"

Yang Yu raised her head, her watery beautiful eyes radiated with determination, and said: "According to my concubine, Master Zhixuan is very obsessed with agarwood. If the emperor can offer aloes agarwood throne, this sincerity will definitely impress her. Master Xuan!"

The emperor couldn't help but fell into deep thought, this agarwood is very precious, if it is made into a throne for meditation, it is unheard of and unseen, it is indeed extravagant and extraordinary, but it is not really difficult for the royal family, but the emperor is not sure about this Can something impress Master Zhixuan?

But seeing that Yang Yu was so determined, the emperor felt that he might as well give it a try, so he said: "Madame Chu's idea is not bad, I decided to give it a try. If it really works, Madam Chu will be the first to do it!"

Yang Yu lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine does not seek meritorious service, but only wants to live a stable life in the palace!"

The emperor's face darkened, and he said: "I understand, you go down first!"

Yang Yu then retreated slowly, leaving only the thoughtful emperor behind.Concubine Wang Guifei received a secret report from Changman about this matter, and she was very anxious when she learned that Yang Yu was looking for the emperor again. Although she promised that the emperor would not cause trouble, the emperor's affection for Yang Yu was extraordinary. In a moment of anger, if Yang Yu humbled himself, the emperor would definitely soften his heart!
Concubine Wang Guifei couldn't help but rejoice that she had won over Chang Man in time, otherwise how could she know the emperor's every move so quickly?
When she walked to the Langfang, she saw Yang Yu had come out with a calm face, Wang Guifei couldn't help being a little surprised, and couldn't help stopping her steps. Since Yang Yu just stayed for a while, there must be nothing to gain. There is no need to be eager to hate.

The emperor gave an order, and the agarwood throne was ready within a few days, and Pegasus sent the agarwood throne to Da'an Guo Temple.The seat is two feet high, with gold silk inlaid with dragon and phoenix lace. It is extremely gorgeous and fragrant, which is amazing!
As Yang Yu expected, the surprise and admiration in Master Zhixuan's eyes were so obvious when he saw the agarwood throne, and his attitude towards the emperor was much better. People will be rejected thousands of miles away like before.

Yang Yu understands that Master Zhixuan has already been tempted, but there is still a step to go, and he declined before, but now he agrees for the throne of agarwood, which seems a bit out of the question.

On this day, Master Zhixuan was standing at the highest point of Da'an Guo Temple, overlooking the whole temple. He was filled with emotions. To be honest, he was moved by the sincerity of the emperor, but the burden of the national teacher is really huge, and there are many restrictions. I'm afraid it's out of his control.

At this time, Yang Yu was also admiring the beautiful scenery outside the temple, surrounded by towering mountains, cliffs, surrounded by mountains, pine and cypresses, and lush.What is particularly amazing is that strange cypresses suddenly grow on the abrupt rocks, and the roots are exposed.There are thousands of strange rocks in the forest, like crouching like squatting, like walking like running.Among the stone forests, there are wild grasses and mountain flowers everywhere, competing for beauty like brocade.The temple is rich in water sources, and the clear springs continue to flow.
