Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Prince Chongwen's Mansion.

A gentleman in Confucian robes bowed slightly in front of Lu Yunqing, who was wearing a green python robe: "Your Highness, everything has been taken care of. Originally, the officials of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were unwilling to accept the case, but fortunately His Highness's name was there. I quickly agreed.”

Lu Yunqing said calmly: "They are worried that the Holy Emperor will punish him. But now that my father is seriously ill and has not taken care of the government for half a year, they will naturally be afraid of me."

"Evidence must be found before the retrial, otherwise someone must be blocking it secretly. We need to be 100% sure about this matter."

The gentleman in scholar's shirt nodded: "If there are no accidents, King Huai'an should be acquitted and regain his freedom. After all, His Highness wants to use the forces under King Huai'an to deal with King Jin together."

Lu Yunqing did not deny it and said slowly: "After all, behind Sixth Brother are also Champion Hou and Qi Daru. One is disheartened and the other does not want to participate in the dispute. How can it be so simple? Living in the capital, in the whirlpool, Sixth Brother And they will definitely support me.”

"The appearance of the Ninth Prince in Prince Jin's Mansion shows that the second brother has also made a lot of plans and made the second move. It is not advisable to act rashly. If we can get more help from the sixth brother and the seventh brother, I will definitely win this battle!"

Combining the three princely forces will definitely destroy Lu Guangjing and Lu Yunhuang with overwhelming force.

The eldest brother, the fourth brother, and Lu Mingkong will all die in vain, and they all have their own value.

This method of combining vertical and horizontal lines was taught to him by his teacher.

It is also part of the emperor's mind.

My husband once said that the way he used to be was the way of governing the world, but now he has to change to the way of the emperor.

Over the past six months, he has studied extremely diligently and slept hard at night.

Now the emperor's mental skills are showing signs of success.

What is the way of an emperor?

The way of an emperor is the way of controlling people, the way of checks and balances, and the art of ruling the world.

No matter whether you are a mediocre person or a good person, you can only become a good person if you put them to my use.

There was once a great master in the Confucian temple who studied this art with great concentration. During the process, he switched to the way of king and hegemony. He jumped from the eleventh realm to the thirteenth realm and became a saint. He left many works on the emperor's mental skills.

As if thinking of the search in the first half month, Lu Yunqing narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Guangjing is a sinister and cunning person, and he must be punished severely. Through the soul search technique, he saw the secrets of the Jin Palace from the souls of many dead soldiers. Shadow, the black force that night was definitely the second brother, there’s no mistake.”

"I cut off my wrists over and over again to protect myself. I searched for clues and found them all. I couldn't find his head, so I couldn't really attack the Jin Palace. I had to find a way to make him submit."

It is simple to lay out the crime, the key is to make the King of Jin confess his crime and be despised by the world.

Except for a few people, not many people know the true face of Prince Jin's Mansion.

"Recently, the white-clothed monk from Yinshuang Kingdom is going to open a Dharma venue in the capital to lecture on scriptures and promote Buddhism. Your Highness, would you like to go and have a look and win over him?"

The subordinate suggested this.

"You can give it a try." Lu Yunqing nodded in agreement.

Just when he was about to go out.

A gentle voice came to my ears.

"Your Highness, the weather is getting colder. Put on your clothes before going out."

A beautiful woman in a goose-yellow palace dress slowly stepped forward and put a large coat on Lu Yunqing.

This girl is Lu Yunqing's first wife, Princess Chongwen, Ning Feiyu.

She is also the daughter of a military saint. This saint is a master swordsmith. In the first half of his life, he killed very hard, comparable to the evil star. People around him will die before they can live long. In the second half of his life, he spent his whole life making swords and repaying the killings. Damn it, this giant Buddha has always had a bad reputation, but his daughter is as gentle as water, but she still can't get married. She is feared by many scholars in the Confucian temple, not because of her, but because of her father behind her.

If he hadn't gone to the Confucian temple and met this woman by chance, the two would have fallen in love and couldn't extricate themselves.

They got married after they came back.

Princess Ning's eyes were filled with affection as she watched her husband leave the palace.

"Princess, do you want to go out to buy groceries tonight?"

"Do you want to take more people out?"

Princess Ning shook her head: "No need, why are you so ostentatious?"

Great Yan Capital.

Qingzhaifang is one of the hundred shops in the inner city. It sells Buddhist beads and magical instruments, and the demand for Buddhist enchanted bracelets and wooden fish exceeds the supply. There are many monks living nearby, so it is a pure place.

In front of you is a large square.

Before the time came, there were already huge crowds of people.

Most of them were gentry in luxurious clothes, who came to listen to Dashuang Saint Monk's lectures on spiritual practice.

Most of the people in linen clothes were true Buddhist believers. They understood the realm of the holy monks and came immediately when they heard that they were going to teach the Dharma.

If you can understand one or two methods from the master's lectures, you will not be able to say that you will achieve immortality. Ordinary wealth and honor will be easy, but it is not impossible to achieve sudden enlightenment.

This is opportunity!

"This is the sign next to the lecture platform. They are all in the third row. It cost Lao Wang and me a lot of face!"

"Obviously the lectures are free, but these inns charge extra fees upstairs and they are all trying to follow suit. I'm really impressed."

"I can't help it. All the places in the front are fully booked. Most of them are monks. Only the ones in the middle are the best. Unfortunately, they are a bit expensive."

The crowd was noisy and there was a lot of discussion.

A young monk with a majestic face and thick eyebrows and big eyes passed by.

The monk's exposed right arm was full of muscles, and his energy and blood were as hot as the sun. He was wearing a red cassock, with his hands clasped together, and a string of large Buddhist beads around his neck.

"The holy monk is giving lectures, and there are people selling tickets. Are there scalpers?"

The thick-browed monk said in surprise.

He saw someone else holding a rather delicately carved wooden sign with the number xxx in row xx engraved on it. When his vitality sense scanned it, he could also find a gold-lacquered "genuine" anti-counterfeiting mark written in the details.

The monk with thick eyebrows squeezed into the crowd with his strong body. It didn't matter what ticket or seat you wanted, just stand in the crowd.

There will inevitably be some bumps in the road. The dissatisfied monks will open their eyes and curse angrily:

"You monk!"

Before he finished speaking, the tall monk turned around and glared at him. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his unicorn arms were full of pressure, and his energy and blood were like Yang and a dragon. His words suddenly changed and he hesitated:

"It looks like he has great merits and is very tough. I wonder who the master's name is and what is his name?"

"The poor monk's name is Fahai. I'm sorry for disturbing you."

The thick-browed monk's voice was as loud as thunder. The eardrums of the people around him were about to be shattered. They subconsciously looked at the monk who called himself Fahai, with fear flashing in their eyes.

A master of both Buddhism and martial arts, he is definitely the best among people in Buddhism.

Not to be offended.

This monk Fahai is naturally the incarnation of Lu Mingyuan.

Witnessing that the February 8th Controversy had entered a fierce stage, he originally wanted to check the movements of the Jin Palace to see if there was any intention to resist. He also came out to relax and find a way for himself to avoid a review of the pardon. As a result, he passed by this place and unexpectedly learned that there was someone here. Giving a lecture.

Disguising himself as Monk Fahai, he walked through the crowd and came to a relatively front position, where he saw the Holy Monk Dashuang whom Yun Qinghe had told him about that day. Yinshuang was known as the True Buddha in White.

Offering the Buddha's relics is the other party's handiwork.

"Let's go quickly. Today there are not only saintly monks teaching the Dharma, but also great Confucians debating scriptures with us!"

"Which family's great scholar?"

"It's Master Xun from White Deer Academy."

"Master Xun feels strangely tight."

"You don't even know that he once wrote the masterpiece "On the Evil of Man". He recently shouted at Bailu Academy, "Teacher, the one who preaches and teaches the solution of karma! He is famous!"

The scholar in the gray scholar's shirt said proudly: "The voice spread throughout the White Deer Academy, deafening and enlightening. I still remember the sound. Human nature is evil, so we need the teacher's teachings."

Just as he was about to continue blowing the water, bursts of Zen sounds suddenly came.

At the same time, golden lotuses descended from the sky, covering the entire square.

The golden lotus fell on the body, shattered into little bits of spiritual light, and merged into the body.

The sick will be cured, the old will be healthy, and the young and children will be wise and healthy.

Wow!

The golden lotus fell from the sky, causing a burst of exclamation. Then, sensing the magical effect of the golden lotus, they all wanted to chase it.

The square was already crowded, and if a riot broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Om!"

A Buddhist mantra came out, and the originally noisy crowd immediately became quiet.

On the lecture platform, a figure suddenly appeared, wearing a white monk's robe, sitting cross-legged, as if he had always been there.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Lu Mingyuan shook his head: "Buddhism has never changed. When you preach, you just preach the scriptures. First you show off, and then you show off your power!"

He waved his hand and took a picture of a golden lotus, and found that it contained three kinds of breath, pure Buddhist dharma, humane virtues, and gentle spiritual energy.

Everything is of great benefit to ordinary people. Those who come to listen to the scriptures today, as long as no accidents occur, will be able to live a long life without illness or disaster.

No matter how the white-robed monk Jiang Shan appeared, whether it was to show off or to show his power, at least thousands of people benefited from it. Jiang Shan may not be liked by many people, but to be able to gather the golden wheel of merit, one needs to really do good deeds and accumulate merit.

"The poor monk Jiang Shan came from Yinshuang and passed through many states and counties."

This was not Jiang Shan's first time teaching the Fa. His opening remarks were very skillful and he was obviously well-trained. Suddenly, he noticed that Monk Fahai in the third row had a strange aura.

After smiling faintly, he immediately adjusted his thoughts and spoke politely.

"The poor monk taught the Dharma for three days, one sutra per day. Today I will teach the fundamental sutra of my Buddha."

"The bad karma of the past was all caused by greed, anger and ignorance."

"Eliminate all mental poisons and cultivate the highest wisdom"

“Everything happens according to karma!”

The sound of Jiang Shan's sermons spread outside the square and drifted for miles in the wind, as if whispering in the ears of passers-by.

Under the blessing of Buddhism, the murmur makes people feel comfortable all over, and they can't help but gather towards the square. But within a short time, the square was crowded with people, many of whom were listening to scriptures in inns, restaurants, and even on rooftops.

Jiang Shan explained the wonderful things and pinched the Dharma seal with his hand. Suddenly, the sky was filled with flowers and golden lotuses surged from the ground.

Seeing this, the Buddhist believers in the field sat cross-legged on the ground and recited Buddhist scriptures.

Many listeners who did not believe in Buddhism immediately felt some respect for the Buddha when they saw this vision.

Only the Taoist monks who were listening to the scriptures couldn't help but curl their lips, it was just a more mysterious illusion.

Among them were a few unruly Taoists, shouting "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the Patriarch of the Three Purities" and making strange noises.

Jiang Shan turned a blind eye to this and had become accustomed to it. He traveled eastward for millions of miles and met devout believers as well as evil Buddhas and even enemies of the Buddha who destroyed the Buddha.

When you meet this kind of person, just pretend they don't exist and ignore them.

"Dedicate yourself to the Buddha, practice good deeds, obtain good rewards, and enter reincarnation. In this way, you will achieve complete enlightenment and finally enter the Buddha's land!"

A sutra was taught for nearly two hours, and those who stood to listen did not feel tired at all. Instead, they felt as if they were drinking ice water in the summer, the warm sun in the winter, and the warmth of their wives and children.

Jiang Shan's voice gradually faded, and the audience woke up from the sound of preaching, feeling reluctant in their hearts.

There were some strange people in the crowd, but they knew that the real drama had just begun.

really.

As soon as Jiang Shan finished speaking, a thin old man with frosty white temples appeared on the stage.

Many scholars have already recognized him. It is Old Master Xun who has just joined the White Deer Academy to teach. He has only taught a few classes in the academy, but he is deeply loved by the students and has already become famous.

Master Xun said with a pleasant look: "Zen Master, I have learned a lot from your lectures. Could you please help me clear up some of my confusion?"

Jiang Shan chuckled and said, "Old Master, please tell me."

"I am a Confucian scholar. I often hear cases being judged in the Drum Courtyard. There are several cases related to Buddhism, and I also ask saintly monks to judge them."

The language is polite, but the words are quite aggressive.

Lu Mingyuan felt that Master Xun wanted to use Jiang Shan's name to expand his influence.

Jiang Shan's tone was very gentle and he continued: "I wonder if you have any doubts after listening to the scriptures?"

Master Xun smiled faintly: "I wonder, the monks are not engaged in childbirth, they just meditate and recite sutras on weekdays. They say they are benevolent to the public, but they are supported by the believers. They are like moths in the country."

The master, with a smile on his face and his words like a knife, asked: "What does the Zen master think?"

"What Master said is not unreasonable, however."

Jiang Shan said: "The common people are farming on the land to get rice, millet and wheat. I, the Buddha, are farming on the hearts of people, eliminating karma and guiding people to do good. The two have different divisions of labor, but they are actually the same."

"When the Zen master said that the human heart is cultivated, why is it for the purpose of eliminating karma? It is not for the sake of self-cultivation. The greatest benefit, the merit, does not fall on oneself!"

Master Xun said with a smile: "Since it is for your own cultivation, don't preach about saving others. It's too hypocritical. It's just about saving yourself!"

Wow!

There was a commotion in the square.

The fundamental concept of Buddhism is to save others. After the old man explained it, it became selfish to save oneself.

The true meaning of Buddhist practice - doing good and benevolence has turned into doing evil!

Buddhism is inherently evil!

Some of the Buddhist believers suddenly turned pale, and they were so emotional that they even rushed to the stage, pulled the old man down and gave him a good beating to make him understand what physical transformation is.

Flashes of spiritual light, Taoist body-holding techniques, or Confucian mantra techniques, stabilized the crowd.

At this time, lectures on the scriptures have turned into debates on the scriptures. On one side are the great Confucian scholars in the Confucian temple, and on the other side are the holy monks of the Buddhist country.

What it represents is the foundation of the principles behind it that have survived for thousands of years.

Ordinary people only hear that Master Xun's words are as sharp as a knife and that he is a monk with superb moral practices. What they see is the confrontation between Confucian and Buddhist ideas.

Jiang Shan pondered for a moment and knew that he had met a master today.

It has an extraordinary origin.

He thought carefully about who he had offended recently.

I think it was only the use of the Buddha's relics that disturbed the waters of the capital and caused a wave of internal fighting among the princes.

Could it be that Master Xun is the teacher behind some prince?

You couldn't get the relic, so you became angry from shame?

The topic changed and he said: "Master, you are very generous. Can you tell me your name and identity?"

"The old Xun Gongjin was the headmaster of Penglai Academy in the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

Xun Gongjin's name spread to the crowd, and there was no need for the monks to stop the chaos, and the place suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Shan continued to ask: "Has Mr. Xun ever served in the imperial court?"

Master Xun replied: "I have been an official for decades, serving as a minister in six departments, and as the chief minister of the cabinet."

"The poor monk once listened to the lectures of the sages in the Confucian temple. Scholars must have a great wish to govern the country, harmonize the family and bring peace to the world."

Jiang Shan said slowly: "Students are not engaged in production, but also practice in the process of running a country and a family. I wonder if it is selfish?"

Master Xun thought for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I admire you! Master is so eloquent!"

I thought this monk was quite interesting.

Ordinary people might doubt their own truth under his few words.

This person has a stable Zen mind and is a good candidate.

"Amitabha!"

Jiang Shan proclaimed the Buddha's name and said: "Buddha's salvation of people is practice, and salvation of oneself is also practice. Master Xun has achieved this."

Seeing that the other party responded that he was fine, which broke his mind, Master Xun felt that he had underestimated him.

So he continued to ask:

"A few days ago, the Ming Deng Division searched the Wenshu Temple in the western suburbs and found several criminal thieves working as monks in the temple."

Master Xun said: "The oldest one among them is over ninety years old. He committed evil fifty years ago and was just taking it easy to kill his family and butcher his family. The one with the biggest crime is a rebel leader. Thirty years ago he occupied the mountain and became the king, causing trouble for everyone. .”

"The latest person who entered the temple was only three years old. He was a flower picker who specialized in sneaking into girls' boudoirs. Once he had an epiphany, he became a Buddhist monk!"

"When Ming Deng Si Jinyi arrested him, the host threatened him with death, saying that since he put down his butcher knife and escaped into Buddhism, he should not be punished by the laws of the earthly world!"

"According to the laws of Dayan, harboring a gangster is a crime, and harboring a rebel is a crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan."

"Mage, do you think this host should die?"

Jiang Shan frowned. Master Xun asked not whether those monks should die, but the abbot of Wenshu Monastery.

Buddhism is indeed a bit filthy, but Taoism and Confucianism have some good things, but they also have bad habits.

Demons, crooked sorcerers, and corrupt scholars are still commonplace.

Jiang Shan has never supported this. He simply said that it should be beheaded, and it would also show the purity of Buddhism.

To say that execution is inappropriate is a direct violation of Dayan law. Why is it not illegal for monks to harbor criminals? It can easily arouse the resentment of the people of Dayan and cause harm to the spread of Buddhism in the future.

Saying that he should be killed not only made Jiang Shan feel cold-hearted, but also chilled the hearts of his fellow monks.

What's more important is that after his certification, Dayan will definitely make this a solid case. If a criminal thief is discovered in the temple in the future, he will definitely be punished according to this case.

It’s nothing more than harboring them. There are many Buddhist monks whose origins are unknown. Who knows if they are criminals?

If the court were more evil-hearted and deliberately allowed a few criminals to become monks, and then came to investigate, Buddhism would still be unable to spread the religion.

Master Xun's voice reached the ears of the people listening to the scriptures in the square, causing a buzz and constant discussion. Compared with Buddhism, the law is fair and strict and is more concerned by the general public.

Monk Fahai put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Interesting!"

Unexpectedly, when I passed by the street today, I would encounter a powerful person facing the law from a distance.

Hearing this, Jiang Shan showed a calm look on his face: "Although the presiding officer does good deeds, he also indulges in evil. Good deeds cannot offset the karma, and they should be punished according to the law!"

"Thank you Zen Master!"

A slight smile appeared on Master Xun's stiff face. He obviously won, but he bowed and saluted.

Then slowly left.

His pace was very light and he was not affected by the debate in the slightest.

Jiang Shan's words gave Dayan's laws something to follow, which would inevitably greatly reduce the number of hidden criminals in the temple. It was a great merit, and it also attracted a wave of favor among the people of Dayan. There were benefits.

"Sir, there is no need to be polite. This poor monk has also thought about similar problems, but he has always tolerated them."

Jiang Shan said: "Fortunately, sir, he only enlightened the poor monk with his words of punishment, and almost caused karma."

On both sides of Confucianism and Buddhism, one loses and the other wins, each wins and the other loses. It can be said to be a draw.

In just a few sentences, it seems to be more insipid than the extravagant sermon. However, in the ears of monks, it is no different from the theory of the road, which is ten times and a hundred times more mysterious than preaching the scriptures.

In terms of far-reaching influence, a good-sounding scripture is not as good as a few lines of debate.

"Today's lecture is over. You can come again tomorrow."

After Lu Mingyuan heard this, he was about to leave with many common monks.

Suddenly, a voice came from close below the stage.

"This mage, please stay."

Lu Mingyuan was stopped and looked back at the person calling.

It is the true Buddha in white, Jiang Shan.
