Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Yao Xing's brows frowned: "What's the request? I'll be fine if I let him out, but what's the request? Is this all right? Does the scar forget the pain?"

Jia Fu sighed: "The old slave felt that his request was not exquisite, but he knew that his Majesty never liked being coerced, so he didn't know how to speak for a while."

Yao Xing said solemnly: "You just need to tell the truth. You can guarantee that it is what he said. Don't add or delete anything. I forgive you."

Jia Fu nodded and said: "The national teacher said that these disciples of his are all vigorous young men. Once they break the precept and taste the love of men and women, it may not be possible to stick to the Zen mind in the future. It is impossible for the monk of the previous month to do the tedious work of translating the scriptures with peace of mind. That is, he broke the vows once, and for a few years afterwards, he always thought about women, and finally forced himself to forget things that he could not do. , Others are afraid it will be more difficult."

Yao Xing's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he sighed: "I was angry for a while. I just wanted to hit the reputation of the national teacher and the monks of Caotang Temple. I forgot about this thing. However, this It's really troublesome. How can people realize the love between men and women, and then want him to give up, it is really too difficult, unless..."

He said, looking at Jia Fu. Jia Fu smiled bitterly: "I also thought of this trick, but the national teacher said, Buddhist disciples, monks and cultivators, are the envoys of the Buddha in the world, and must not have disabilities, otherwise, it is disrespect to the Buddha. People are not allowed to commit suicide, nor are they allowed to translate Buddhist scriptures. People with disabilities, like the kind of eunuchs who translate the scriptures, are disrespectful to the Buddha, and there will be disasters."

Yao Xing gritted his teeth: "The nonsense is just an excuse. In the past, the monks in Tianzhu, especially those who practiced ascetics, I don't believe that all of them are healthy people without any disability."

Jia Fu sighed: "But even if he knew he was making excuses to forcefully castrate people, I'm afraid it would violate human ethics. Old slaves were taken prisoners of war since they were young, and they received the cut when they were young. Your Majesty bought the old slave into the palace. He rewarded the old slave with a bite of food. He could only be grateful. But if the monk of the Caotang Temple forced his body, he would hate his majesty and even deliberately destroy the scriptures. Take revenge."

Yao Xing nodded and frowned, "Yes, even a monk is a man. If you go down with this sword, even a man is no longer a man. You must hate it. The former palace people were mostly the sons of nobles and senior prisoners of the enemy tribe. This purification is done to prevent retaliation by the children and grandchildren. When used on monks, everyone will say that I am a tyrant. Jia Fu, you are right, you can't do this. Is there any other way?"

Jia Fu nodded: "Kumarosh himself said that he has a way to perform some magical magic, so that the disciples can be relieved, and the people will be admired. However, this requires an open ceremony. If your majesty can agree, In front of the Daxiong Hall in the Caotang Temple, let him go on the altar and practice the Dharma, and he will have a way to make the disciples feel free."

Yao Xing smiled and said: "Then I will directly build a high platform for him in Chang'an City, and let him have a bigger place to spread the Fa, wouldn't it be better? This time I didn't think well, and I should compensate him more."

Jia Fu revealed a mysterious smile and whispered: "Your Majesty, you just can't perform this spell in an open place. You know, these are all blind and deceptive tricks. If it's in broad daylight, everyone's eyes are in full view. I'm afraid it will be broken by others. After all, the national teacher is over 60 years old, and his physical strength has dropped. If some movements are slower, something will happen. Then even his disciples will not believe him, then it will be troublesome. ."

Yao Xing laughed and said, "You still know a lot, so you can arrange it. At that time, I will lead the Manchu and Martial Arts to join in. It is also best at this time to let him borrow the mouth of the Buddha and Bodhisattva again. , Say what I want him to say, you taught him how to say, understand?"

Jia Fu smiled and said: "The old slave will definitely let him speak out in person when the time comes, returning the twelve Nanyang counties to the state of Jin is a kind deed that conforms to the destiny and benefits the common people. The people of the twelve Nanyang counties, as well as the soldiers of the two countries , Will receive the blessing and blessing of the Buddha. And the fortune of Da Qin will flourish because of this."

Yao Xing nodded in satisfaction and said: "Very well, these are what I want him to say, and only when he says it in public can the generals under me be convinced, full of confidence, and worry-free to fight against Hu Xia. Especially Yao Shao, huh, I know that even though he doesn’t say anything against him, he has used so many venomous schemes to discredit Kumarajiva, just wishing that the twelve counties of Nanyang would not be sent to Jin, so that he could hold it for a long time. Heavy soldiers, sit in the Central Plains and continue to be the emperor of that soil."

Jia Fugong said: "Your Majesty thinks deeply, and the old slave admires it. This matter will be handled by the old slave. Please also two days later, your majesty can visit the Caotang Temple in person. Oh, by the way, when the time comes, your Majesty will also ask your Majesty to bring along Tao Yuanming, the envoy of the Jin Dynasty. If this is the case, the major event will be finalized on the spot, and there is no need to hold another court meeting."

Yao Xing said coldly: "You talk too much, Jia Fu, I didn't think you had such a good eloquence before. What's wrong?"

Jia Fu knelt down and said, "The old slave made a mistake for a while, it should be beaten!" He said, slapped his face severely, and the white face on the left ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ suddenly appeared with five red fingers. Palm print.

Yao Xing waved his hand: "Okay, okay, hurry up and get things done. By the way, what kind of oil, remember to get me some back by the way. I said, I'll trade grapes, and this matter will be left to you."

Two days later, in the Caotang Temple, the main courtyard, in front of the Daxiong Hall.

In front of the hall, which is a few hundred steps around, was originally a huge square. There were countless incense burners, candlesticks, and merit boxes stacked in order to facilitate the good men and women to burn incense and dissipate karma, or donate coins, but now, these things They were all cleaned up, and a huge tent, like the tooth tent of the desert khan, covered the entire square without seeing the sun.

The four sides of the big tent were replaced with oil lampposts, filled with ghee, accompanied by the smell of sandalwood, and the smoky owls, making the entire big tent, like a fairyland, clouds and mist floating, Yao Xing dressed in a dragon robe, with Tao Yuanming, a man of civil and military affairs, and an envoy, sat on the VIP platform directly opposite the high platform, while the three thousand sand gates were all dressed in monk robes, sitting around, looking at a three-zhang high platform in the center. , Kumarajiva sitting cross-legged on the futon wearing a big red robe.

Jia Fu stood on the side, with a respectful smile on his face, standing with a whisk, no one noticed his lips and teeth slightly opened in the smoke: "Monk, please start your performance."
