Chapter 95: The King of Zhao County Returns to the Dynasty
Since Wei Gui left the room, Li Zhiyun accompanied his wife to walk in the garden. When it was cold, he put on a cloak for her and gently put his wife on her thin shoulders.
"Husband."
"Um?"
The Princess Chu said happily, "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. In recent years, I have been trying to give birth to a Lin'er for my husband to rest assured. Although I have never been able to do it, now the royal family is prosperous and there are three children, Jing'er, Yan'er and Lie'er, and I have no regrets.
In the future, no matter which son inherits his husband, his concubine will be their mother. Do they still dare to be unfilial to the concubine?"
At the end of the day, my wife's white jade-like face showed a hint of cuteness and fierceness, and she didn't look scary at all.
Li Zhiyun stopped and gently hugged his wife in his arms. His jaw pressed against her head and whispered: "To be honest, I am actually looking forward to our future children. Jing'er, Yan'er, Lie'er, they are naturally your sons, but in fact, I hope you can get what you want in the future.
Don’t think too much. Now the world is getting more and more peaceful. For your husband, you have time to accompany you in the mansion. As long as you take good care of your health, we will have ten or eight children in the future.”
The Princess Chu couldn't help but scold him, "What are you a concubine? You have ten or eight children, and when will you give birth to? When you are pregnant with your mother, your concubine will be enough to suffer."
She said this, but in fact she was very excited.
Li Zhiyun smiled and hugged his wife tightly.
"By the way, I heard that my aunt was practicing in Yangci Temple, why don't you visit?"
My aunt is Yang Mudan.
The Princess Chu thought about it and asked, "What does your husband mean to worship Buddha?"
"If you believe, we can visit us together on a date." He mainly wanted to accompany her to relax.
The Princess Chu said: "Why not be today. I really don't know if my husband will be suddenly exhausted by the court."
Li Zhiyun thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then today."
Yangci Temple is a small temple located west of the outskirts of Beijing.
The temple is mainly worshipped by female monks, and the incense is average, not very prosperous.
One main hall worships the Bodhisattva, and the other side hall serves the pilgrims to rest.
After Li Zhiyun and his wife worshipped each other, they followed Yang Mudan to the side hall to rest.
"How could Yue Niang come here today?" Yang Mudan was wearing plain clothes and holding a Taoist bun, with a plump figure.
Although she is forty, she looks like she is in her early thirties.
The Princess Chu smiled embarrassedly and whispered: "The king has rare time, so he comes with his concubine to worship the Bodhisattva."
Upon hearing this, Yang Mudan blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Li Zhiyun who was drinking tea, without telling her niece's thoughts.
When I was just worshiping, my niece looked very pious, but as a son-in-law, I can only say that she was dealing with errands, and I couldn't tell that he believed in Buddhism at all.
A woman worships Buddha, one for the sake of peace for her family, and the other for a child.
She knew that Princess Chu still had no son, and she knew it in her heart.
Li Zhiyun put down the tea cup, praised the tea for its deliciousness, and then asked, "Auntie, are you planning to worship Buddha for the rest of your life?"
"Do your Highness think it's inappropriate?"
"I don't think it's wrong. It's just that some people in the court have scolded Buddhist disciples before, not talking about the righteousness of the monarch, minister, father and son, not doing anything for birth, and are idle, trying to abolish Buddhism."
This is not Li Zhiyun is talking nonsense, but it is true. The Grand Historian Fu Yi has written to the emperor many times, demanding the abolition of Buddhism.
Yang Mudan opened her mouth slightly and said, "Your Highness clearly sees that Buddhist doctrines all encourage people to be kind, and never think of rebelling against the king. As for being idle, it makes no sense. Most of the land in temples is worshipped by pilgrims, and usually temples will hand over the land to tenant farmers to farm, reduce rent and interest. Isn't this a good act?"
Li Zhiyun smiled and looked directly at Yang Mudan's beautiful eyes.
"Auntie, the world is in chaos and the people are displaced, and land rectification is imperative. The court will not allow a small number of people to occupy most of the land. In addition, five or six out of ten young and strong people die in the war, and people need to rebuild their homes instead of eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name and cultivating blessings.
Let me talk about it again, what my aunt said may be true in Yangci Temple, but I dare to guarantee that all temples in the world are like Yangci Temple, and they should be careful and consider others?”
Yang Mudan was stunned. Facing Li Zhiyun's eyes, she had nothing to say.
"It's because I'm not considering it well, and I'm laughing at you."
Li Zhiyun waved his hand, "Auntie is so serious, just discuss the matter."
"That I'm daring, does Your Highness support the abolition of Buddhism?"
Li Zhiyun pondered: "I rarely interfere in this matter. But if you ask me, I can tell you. Since the temple exists, it has its own reason. However, the current situation is not as good as during the Kaihuang period. If the people have entered monks and practiced Buddhism and asked questions, then who will protect the peace of the world?
That said, my aunt may not understand very much.
Today, the chaos has been long, and nine out of ten houses in the Central Plains are empty. If the people do not work or produce, they will all be put into Buddhism.
Once the northern invaders invade the south, the court has no soldiers or food. Wouldn't it cause the Han people to suffer a catastrophe, causing the fall of the Central Plains and the destruction of the artifacts?"
Li Zhiyun has no feelings for Buddhism, and does not like it but does not reject it. In specific situations, for example, now, he does not agree with Daxing Buddhist Temple.
Not only will it waste people and cause money, it will also reduce national strength.
After listening to Li Zhiyun's words, Yang Mudan felt thoughtful.
The Princess Chu who was standing beside him said angrily: "If your husband is not idle, you might as well go out for a walk. I have to talk to my aunt."
I agreed to relax, but as I spoke, I became a court affairs again.
Li Zhiyun smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Yang Mudan sat next to the Princess Chu and smiled and joked: "My grandmother is so majestic, and the dignified King of Chu must listen to you."
"Stop talking about auntie, it's all my husband's love." Princess Chu said embarrassedly.
Yang Mudan held her niece's arm and said with a smile: "The King of Chu loves you so much, what else do you have to worry about?"
The Princess Chu sighed, "I don't know what my aunt has, but I have all the concubines in the mansion. I only gave birth to Bao Niang, and I feel depressed. Who knows?"
Yang Mudan advised: "I have no choice but to tell you that you can only gain something if you relax."
Not mentioning them, he said that Li Zhiyun left the side palace and met someone.
Warrior.
"Why did Mr. Wu come from here?"
"Your Highness, King of Chu." The warrior quickly bowed.
Since the failure to become a minister, the warriors have been living a little unhappy. The land grab is exposed and he spent a lot of money to calm down. In the past, he used to be a human being with his tail between his tail, but now he is even a human being with his tail between his tail.
Li Zhiyun said: "Mr. Wu has not answered my king's question yet."
"I'm here to relax."
Relaxation?
You are fooling around. There are so many temples in Chang'an, where are you not going to go? But when you come here, you are thinking about bad things when you see it.
He thought to himself, if you want to attack my aunt, I'm afraid you're dreaming!
"Mr. Wu is so interested, there are many maid cultivators here..."
"Your Highness." The warrior interrupted Li Zhiyun quickly and said, "I have never had any evil thoughts. Please do not misunderstand me. I will leave now, and leave now."
After saying that, he thought to himself that he was unlucky and turned around and prepared to leave.
Li Zhiyun reminded lightly: "Duke Wu, my aunt from Yangci Temple is here to practice. If Duke Wu has no important matter, please don't come here to disturb me in the future."
aunt?
Yes, that monk Yang does have this relationship with the King of Chu.
Thinking of this, the warrior thought it was a pity. He once glanced at Yang Mudan by chance, shocked the gods. From then on, he thought about coming over to increase his feelings for Yang Mudan and achieving something good.
Unfortunately, she is the aunt of the King of Chu.
The warrior turned around and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I understand that I will never come here again from now on."
"It's a worry for Mr. Wu."
"I dare not, don't dare, say goodbye." The warrior bowed and turned around and disappeared.
