Rise From the Humble

"Bullying monks, smashing temple doors, throwing excrement on temple walls, and painting the main hall with ink. Hehe, Zhu Ping'an is really powerful. He has only entered the officialdom not long ago, but he has learned the bad habits of this bullying bureaucrat. He is better than his predecessors. , to make such a pure place of Buddhism into such a mess, as if he didn’t pay attention to the court regulations at all." Wang Yushi sneered, shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted the table hard, bullying Zhu Pingan Baiyun Temple's actions express indignation and disappointment.

"Amitabha, what Mr. Wang said is absolutely true. He, Zhu Ping'an, has gone too far to deceive others." A deacon from Baiyun Temple nodded vigorously, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Zhu Ping'an's minions were all fierce. The poor monk persuaded them to put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas on the spot. Instead, they pushed them to the ground. Even if the poor monk was seriously injured, it didn't matter, but the good men and women were hurt by them. I'm so scared, it's hard to put it into words." Another deacon from Baiyun Temple sighed, looking aggrieved that he was being bullied but could do nothing about it.

"Haha, masters, please rest assured. The world is bright and clear in broad daylight. Zhu Ping'an is using his power to bully others. We are responsible for supervising all officials. Since we know this, how can we just sit idly by and do nothing." Wang Yushi smiled slightly to appease the monks of Baiyun Temple. Like a wise man strategizing a decisive victory thousands of miles away, he said softly: "After Brother Liu heard about this in the afternoon, he was filled with righteous indignation. He immediately wrote and drafted an impeachment package. I also co-signed it, and it was submitted just now. We have arrived at Xiyuan. Presumably, we have reached the Holy Emperor’s case now.”

Hearing this, the two deacon monks from Baiyun Temple were delighted and looked at Liu Yushi opposite in surprise.

Even the abbot of Baiyun Temple and the eminent monk Manjusri, who looked like a master on the side, moved his eyebrows, like a Buddha holding a flower and smiling, and looked at Liu Yushi opposite with a smile.

Liu Yushi, who was in the center of the line of sight, smiled and nodded, then gently picked up the tea cup, scraped the cup twice, took a sip, closed his eyes and thought about it, opened his eyes, and gently He said softly, "Good tea."

He has the demeanor of a celebrity, and his elegance is revealed.

"Amitabha, find good tea for tea drinkers, and find tea drinkers for good tea. This tea is worthy of Master Liu, and Master Liu is worthy of this tea." The host of Baiyun Temple said the Buddha's name and praised it with a Zen flavor.

"Oh, I dare to ask Master, what is the significance of this tea?" Liu Yushi put down the tea cup and humbly asked for advice.

"This tea is produced in Wuyi Mountain. Wuyi Mountain has a radius of one hundred miles and has thirty-six peaks and ninety-nine famous rocks. There are rocks on the peaks and tea on the rocks. The tea is named after the rocks and the rocks are named after the tea. Lu Tea Sage said in "Tea" According to the Sutra, the soil where tea trees grow is divided into three types: upper, middle and lower. The upper one grows rotten rocks, the middle one grows gravel soil and the lower one grows loess. This tea is produced from the rotten rocks on the cliffs at the highest peak of Wuyi Mountain. It’s called Xifeng Rotten Stone Tea.” The host of Baiyun Temple said slowly.

"Oh, it's so impressive." Liu Yushi smiled slightly.

"No, no, that's not what makes this tea special." The host of Baiyun Temple clasped his hands together, smiled and shook his head slowly.

"Master, please clarify my doubts." Liu Yushi said with cupped hands.

"Lord Liu doesn't know that the special thing about this tea is the water used to cook it. It is said that tea is born from water, and water is born from tea. The water used to cook this tea is Prajna spring water. At the foot of Mount Wutai, a cool and holy place, there is a clear spring named Prajna, the water in this spring is sweet and clear, cool and soothing, and flows endlessly. It is the famous holy water in our Buddhism. Take the Prajna spring water, chant sutras and cook it in the Mahavira Hall, and then you can get this tea." The abbot of Baiyun Temple replied with a smile. .

"It is indeed a good tea." Liu Yushi was full of praise.

"That's good, that's good." After hearing about the origin of Table Mountain tea, the eminent monk Manjusri couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"The tea is good, but the people are better." The host of Baiyun Temple smiled and clasped his hands together.

"Haha, I can't do it, I can't do it." Everyone present humbly said that they shouldn't do it, but they did have smiles on their faces.

In fact, it's not just tea. In order to entertain Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi, Baiyun Temple made great efforts. Any kind of vegetarian meal on the table is as good as the tea on the table.

The vegetarian meal on this table is called "Yi Lan Lan Vegetarian Vegetarian". It is indeed vegetarian, but every ingredient is not simple. They are all taken from famous mountains and rivers, even the seemingly inconspicuous mushrooms on the table. , but it is not simple at all. This is a moss mushroom that grows on the top of the five platforms in Wutai Mountain. It is a treasure among mushrooms. It was picked by local mushroom pickers who risked their lives and narrowly escaped death by rock climbing. Its special fragrance crown Unparalleled in the world, the locals say that "one family drinks its soup and ten families smell its fragrance."

Yi Lian Ming Deng's all-vegetarian meal is also known as "Four Four Bottoms", which means that this table of vegetarian dishes includes four table-top dishes, four cold meat dishes, four stir-fried dishes, and four large pieces, totaling sixteen dishes.

The value is not much worse than the Manchu and Han banquet.

Therefore, Baiyun Temple has made great efforts.

However, it was quite rewarding.

Baiyun Temple's hard work was not in vain, in exchange for a memorial from Liu Yushi, and this memorial was sent to Xiyuan before the curfew.

The censor enjoys the power to directly impeach officials who violate laws and disciplines and are incompetent to the emperor. Their memorials can be sent directly to the emperor without going through the Yintai General Affairs Department.

Liu Yushi and Wang Yushi had this power, so naturally they would not waste it. The joint memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan was sent to Xiyuan before the curfew.

The tea is good, the banquet is good, and the atmosphere is good.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves at the banquet.

At the request of the deacon of Baiyun Temple, Liu Yushi circulated the draft he left behind when he wrote the memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan to everyone in Baiyun Temple.

Liu Yushi's literary talent was excellent and his words were meaningful. Everyone in Baiyun Temple admired him after watching it.

For example, Liu Yushi said in the impeachment memorial that Zhu Pingan's "talent is acceptable, but his knowledge is partial." He said that Zhu Pingan's knowledge may be acceptable, but his character is not good. The monk agreed very much.

It is also said that Zhu Ping'an "kept silent at home, causing the gang to always be ruined, causing the hens to wake up in the morning, and the lions to roar in the east of the river. Shameless people cling to branches and leaves, rely on doors and walls, and respond to each other outside and inside. Accumulating power and robbed, Ignoring the king's law, smashing temples, painting temple walls with ink, disturbing the people, and damaging the pure land. Zhu Ping'an's evil deeds are full of evil, obvious to the eyes and ears of the people, and it is difficult to write down. Failure to punish is not enough to uphold the law of the country, and failure to punish is not enough to ensure peace. People’s hearts.”

One listed Zhu Ping'an's several major crimes in the memorial, such as having a bad character, being unable to control his wife, recruiting shameless people, bullying others, ignoring the king's laws, smashing temples, harassing the people, etc. Zhu Ping'an is like a dog official who is full of evil

Everything in the memorial was all mentioned in the hearts of everyone in Baiyun Temple, and they praised it endlessly while reading it.

Just when everyone in Baiyun Temple had circulated the draft of the memorial and returned it to Liu Yushi, someone came in in a panic.

This man was Liu Yushi's entourage, and Liu Yushi had just asked him to go to Xiyuan to deliver the memorial to impeach Zhu Ping'an.

The entourage trotted in in a panic, breaking the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet.

"What's wrong?" Liu Yushi asked with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"My lord, just after I sent the memorial to Xiyuan, I heard something," the attendant stammered in reply.

"What's the matter? Let's take a deep breath. Can the sky still fall?" Liu Yushi said solemnly, with the air of not changing his expression even if Mount Taishan collapsed in front of him.

"Yes, sir." Liu Yushi's calmness made the entourage slowly calm down, and he said slowly, "I just sent the memorial to Xiyuan in my humble post, and when I was about to return, I heard a message that Zhu Ping'an was here this afternoon. When taking stock of the bank in Taicang, in order to show his innocence and stop the slander from his political opponents, he took off his clothes in front of everyone, walked into the bank naked to count the silver in the bank, and uncovered the silverfish in the country in one fell swoop."

"What?"

Like a bolt from the blue, Liu Yushi was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and took two or three steps back uncontrollably. His face turned pale at first, and soon turned extremely red.

Chest rises and falls violently.

It turns out that when I impeached Zhu Pingan for being lax in his internal affairs and bullying others with his power, it was exactly when Zhu Pingan inspected the bank with his bare buttocks in Taicang.

Think with your butt, you all know the consequences!

Liu Yushi silently tore into pieces the impeachment memorial in his hand that said "Zhu Pingan bullied others and deserved severe punishment".

but

It's too late.
