Chapter 85 Fetters

Yang Guang became a monk and shaved it as a monk in Lingyao Temple in Jiankang City. The one who slandered him was the eminent monk Zhiyan. Yuwen Wen was quite moved by this and was sincerely happy for the "reunion" between the master and the disciple.

Zen Master Zhiyan was a monk of this era. Yuwen Wen didn’t know how high he was, but he knew that this was the famous founder of Tiantai Sect.

Why did you know? Because in that era, he visited the ancestral home of Tiantai Sect, Guoqing Temple (Tiantai Temple), and read the introduction materials.

Of course, in this era in history, the Tiantai Sect was still in its early stages, and the Guoqing Temple (Tiantai Temple) on Tiantai Mountain had not been built yet, but Zen Master Zhiyan did have interactions with Yang Guang.

In the original history, the Sui State pacified Chen and unified the world, but the rebellions in Jiangnan continued. One of the reasons was that the Sui State adopted a high-pressure policy towards Jiangnan Buddhism.

Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was raised by nuns since childhood. He himself admired Buddhism, but he adopted a tough and high-pressure policy towards Jiangnan Buddhism. After pacifying Jiangnan, he ordered that only two Buddhist temples be allowed in a state, and that all the extra temples would be destroyed.

This goes against the policy of worshipping Buddhism that Yang Jian has always pursued. After the sudden death of Emperor Tianyuan of Zhou, Yuwen Yun, as soon as he came to power, he changed the policy of Emperor Wu of Zhou to destroy Buddhism and advocated Buddhism.

Later, he ascended the throne and became emperor, and told the world that the people would be allowed to become monks. He also encouraged the creation of Buddha statues, which made Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty prosper again.

As a result, this person advocated Buddhism north of the Yangtze River and destroyed Buddhism south of the Yangtze River, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Buddhist monks and believers in the south.

The Chen State was destroyed, but the powerful people in various parts of Jiangnan were still dissatisfied, and a large-scale anti-Sui rebellion broke out. Although the main body of the rebellion was the powerful, Buddhists also played an important role.

Some rebels believed in Buddhism, while some temples directly funded and participated in the rebellion, and even the temples themselves became rebel strongholds.

Under the attacks of the Sui army everywhere, although the anti-Sui rebellion was quelled, the hostility in the Buddhist community in Jiangnan still existed. Therefore, Yang Guang, the King of Jin who left Yangzhou, began to appease the representative figures of the Buddhist forces in Jiangnan.

An important measure he took was to set up the "Four Pagodas" in Jiangdu (Yangzhou), gather famous monks from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and strengthen the management and control of the southern Buddhist community under the name of respecting Buddhism.

The so-called "taste ground" refers to the temples and Taoist temples of the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. The four temples established by Yang Guang widely attract famous monks and Taoism from all over the world, especially those in Jiangnan. Zen Master Zhiyan is one of them.

King Yang Guang of Jin spared no effort to win over the eminent monks of the Southern Dynasty, and the most obvious one was Zen Master Zhiyan. This eminent monk was treated with a grand courtesy of the Emperor of Chen when he was in Chen State. After Chen was defeated, he repeatedly refused to conscript the Sui court.

In order to invite the other party to Jiangdu, Yang Guang even called himself a "disciple" in his handwritten letter. After several warm invitations, Zen Master Zhiyi set out for Jiangdu.

Yang Guang set up a Thousand Monks Dharma Assembly, formally worshipped Zhiyan as his teacher, and received the Bodhisattva precepts. He was in a master-apprentice relationship with Zhiyan. Now, this master-apprentice in his previous life has become a master-apprentice again.

It’s still a real master and apprentice, this is a bond that travels through time and space! Yu Wenwen was so moved that he drank a few more cups of tea.

In order to send my brother-in-law to the West, Yuwen Wen spent money to build a "Sala Shuang Tree Garden One-day Tour" project, which cost tens of thousands of yuan. The deficits that occurred cannot be made clear. He could only rely on selling more fake gold jewelry and mountains and rivers to make money.

"As the saying goes, Buddha saves those who are destined to be, you go to Jiankang at the right time."

"The king, as the saying goes, there is God's will in the dark. That one who entered Buddhism will also fulfill the king's thoughts."

Seeing that Yuwen Wen was in a good mood, Wu Ming, the guard of the royal palace, felt relieved. He escorted Yang Guang to Jiankang, and saw the infatuated person walking into Lingyao Temple with his own eyes, and then shaved him into a monk.

After confirming that, Wu Ming rushed back to Xiyang without stopping, but the return journey was to sail against the current and had to escape the Chen State naval army, which was guarding the river defense patrol, so it took him twenty days to come back, and it took him exactly one month to go back.

"In your opinion, is this one pretending?"

"King, this is not impossible, but Bei Zhi feels that the possibility is very small. After all,... the shock of the Sala Twin Tree Garden is very strong, and he cannot refuse to believe it."

"Very strong? I almost broke the ball. The pheasant flew over. If he noticed it, it might not be possible to act with a trick!"

Faced with Yuwen Wen's rebuttal, Wu Ming was a little dull. In order to make the unidentified man "awaken" this time, he was busy trying to "Sala Twin Tree Garden" inside and outside, but almost got into trouble.

"The plan cannot keep up with the changes. If the careful plan is implemented, there will always be various unexpected events that will lead to the failure of the end. Do you know when you go back and summarize it carefully?"

"I understand!"

"It's not OK to understand. The summary meeting must be recorded. Everyone has to remember what they say, and then everyone has to write their experiences. You have to write a summary report!"

"I understand!"

......

In the backyard of the royal mansion and in the Yuzhu courtyard, Yang Lihua was talking to Liu Ye. Liu Ye, who had just returned to his house, brought Yang Guang’s detailed information in Jiankang.

Yang Guang became a monk and shaved himself as a monk at Lingyao Temple in Jiankang City and worshipped Zhiyan as his teacher. From then on, he entered the Hunting Sect and cut off the worldly relationship.

"I saw Erlangjun from afar...I saw Erlangjun shaved...Woo woo woo woo woo..."

Liu Ye burst into tears when he said this. Yang Lihua was sad when she heard this. Her younger brother Yang Guang became a monk, but in the end he saved his life. As a sister, I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.

Yuwen Wen promised that she would not kill Yang Guang, but she would not allow Yang Guang to stay in Xiyang or Zhou State. On the one hand, she would avoid causing trouble to the Xiyang Palace, and on the other hand, she would consider Yang Guang, so that she would not be arrested and beheaded one day after she would leak her identity.

Therefore, Yang Guang could only go to Chen State to show his identity and be a distinguished guest of Chen State, or choose another way, and Yang Lihua is not allowed to interfere.

As a result, he became a monk. Yang Lihua was filled with mixed feelings for a moment. The Yang family admired Buddhism. After experiencing the tragedy of the country's destruction and family's demise, Yang Guang's choice to become a monk could actually be expected.

Yang Lihua knows her younger brother a little. Yang Guang has a strong sense of self-esteem and can easily go to another extreme after suffering major setbacks. However, his younger brother was in Xiyang and wanted to help him make money. Why did he see through the world in a short time?

In order to dispel her concerns, Yuwen Wen gave Xu Liuye with him to take the boat to Jiankang, who was sleeping all the way, and then looked from afar to see what Yang Guang's last choice was.

Now Liu Ye, who is the most loyal to herself, says that Yang Guang has become a monk, so a stone in Yang Lihua's heart has fallen to the ground. Although Yuwen Wen has always had a good reputation, she is worried that her husband will "make an exception."

He said he was sent to Jiankang, but he tied the stones to the river halfway. Yang Lihua was afraid of having nightmares at night, so she saw her younger brother swelling with water and came to cry to him.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way, have a few days to rest."

"I dare not say thank you for your hard work. Don't be too sad. After all... After all, it is common for monks to return to secular life..."

Liu Ye privately called Yang Lihua Langzhu. After hearing this, Yang Lihua sighed. With his younger brother's temper, since he entered Buddhism, he was afraid that his intention would never change.

While he was talking, the butler Li Sanjiu was looking for a meeting outside. Yang Lihua's heart moved and asked him inside. He asked with hope: "Butler Li, what's wrong?"

"Congratulations to Yuzhuyuan, both of them are pregnant."

"Ah? Buddha blesses, Buddha blesses..."

Yang Lihua added her forehead with her hands, and her joy was beyond words. Liu Ye also looked happy when she heard this: This is Yang Guang's bloodline.

"Luye, prepare incense and candles immediately. I will go to incense tomorrow."
