how to be safe

Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"The clothes made of kingfisher feathers are really beautiful." Dongfang Xuan took a sip of the peach blossom liqueur from the glass cup, "I didn't expect you to look quite immortal when you wear it."

Yuan Xiuru heard the meaning of sarcasm, and said, "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. What does it have to do with a piece of clothing?"

"In the past, I only knew that His Royal Highness is proficient in the scriptures and is quite good at the theory of knowledge-only, but today he is talking about Zen."

"Whether it is consciousness-only or Zen Buddhism, they are all Buddhist teachings. I recently read the "Nanhua Sutra" that talks about fasting the mind and forgetting while sitting, and it also applies to Zen principles. It can be seen that there is no barrier between Buddhism and Taoism."

"Yes, Buddhism is boundless, and Taoism is natural. Those are the laws of sages and sages. The laws of ordinary people are life and death in the end."

"If His Royal Highness Kang Wang has nothing important, go quickly after drinking, melon fields and plums, it's better to avoid suspicion." Yuan Xiuru saw that he sat for a long time without saying a serious word, and only picked on his pain, so he issued an order to evict the guest.

"Father has recently gone to Penglai Palace to practice, and I'm afraid he will have to stay for ten and a half months. Since I dare to come, the whole palace will naturally be properly arranged, and let them keep their tongues in check."

"Wouldn't it be just to look at a suit of clothes and have a sip of a bar after doing some sorting?" Knowing that Dongfang Xuan sent someone to contact him, Yuan Xiuru naturally had a plan, and he was just trying to trick him.

Dongfang Xuan told the whole story about the blood dragon, telling him that after the blood dragon became a blood dragon, the lives of their brothers would be in danger, "I know that Yuan Xiufu replaced you that day, and almost killed you, even if you don't care about his life, You should be concerned about my elder brother's situation."

Yuan Xiuru shook his fingers and almost broke the glazed cup, but he quietly covered it up.He had heard that Dongfangsu offended the emperor and was sent to Jizhou because of him, and he had a strange hatred for him because of this Dongfang way.He was afraid of further coercion.

"He wrote a letter to impeach the national teacher a few days ago and angered his father, and he suffered several consecutive defeats in northern Xinjiang. Now his father is quite easy to save."

"Then I should congratulate His Royal Highness Kang Wang?" Yuan Xiuru said.Dongfang Su's departure from the capital cut off his own way of being an emperor, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes a prince, not to mention Dongfang Xuan now holds the power to oversee the country.

"You are really cruel and ruthless. It's nothing more than an ordinary prince who is deposed, but my elder brother has been in the army for a long time, and he has a heavy army in his hand, which makes my father quite afraid. Now there are rumors in the court that he colluded with Chief Qihu and general Yuan Zhengliang with evil intentions." .”

Yuan Zhengliang is Yuan Zhengguan's youngest brother and Yuan Xiuru's uncle. Before he returned from his envoy to Qihu, he heard of the catastrophe in Shenjing and the change of owner. Khan was loyal, led Qihu soldiers and horses, and continued to harass northern Xinjiang.Yuan Zhengliang himself is quite talented. He used to be the minister of the Ministry of War. He is familiar with the military equipment, food and tactics of the Central Plains. In addition, the Qihu army is brave and good at fighting. It is easy to defeat the young and vigorous Dongfang in northern Xinjiang, but Yuan Zhengliang did not. Chasing and fighting fiercely, but fighting and stopping, leaving him a chance to breathe, and making the DPRK and China talk about it

"You believe he will conspire with my uncle?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, the key is whether my father believes it or not. Yuan Zhengliang gave him a few times to survive, and he kept asking for soldiers from the court. What do you think my father will think?"

Yuan Xiuru understands that his uncle is loyal and upright, and he is definitely not a vicious person. He fights and stops, and does not intend to alienate, there must be something else hidden.

"If you're not at ease, then transfer him back." Yuan Xiuru sincerely hopes that Dongfang Su can return to Shenjing, even if he is a commoner, even if he is imprisoned forever, at least there is a thought of love within a short distance.

"Xiu Ru, Xiu Ru, after so many things, you are not so naive as to think that tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, right?" Tiger's poison does not eat its offspring?Yuan Zhengguan used to value and dote on this child Yuan Xiuru so much, but in the end he gave him poisonous wine, with a cruel heart in the Eastern way...

"Now only you can save my elder brother and Yuan Xiufu's life." Dongfang Xuan's tone darkened.

"One of them is in the prison, and the other is thousands of miles away. I am imprisoned in the deep palace. How can He De..."

Dongfang Xuan's eyes flashed a ruthless look, "Their life and death are in the hands of one person, and if this person dies, everyone will have a way out."

"He is your father!" Yuan Xiuru turned pale with shock. He knew that Dongfang Xuan wanted to use him, but he didn't expect him to kill his father and king.

"When he raised his troops from northern Xinjiang and abandoned my mother and son, he was no longer my father." Dongfang Xuan suddenly approached Yuan Xiuru, "Don't worry, there is no trace of this method. The father is getting old day by day, all thanks to the yellow crown The Taoist elixir raises the spirit. I have heard that this elixir is limited to three pills a day, and if you use it too often, it will hurt your body. But I think it should not be difficult for him to take a few more pills every day based on your ability."

Yuan Xiuru's spine was chilled by what he said, and he asked in a trembling voice, "You will be the prince soon, why do you want to...?"

"Yuan Xiufu saved my life, and I want to repay it. Although I want the throne, I don't want my elder brother's body either. When the time comes when my father dies, he will willingly give up the seat to me. "

Brotherly love... Yuan Xiuru was in a trance for a moment, then regained his composure, he couldn't believe Dongfang Xuan's words, besides, he was unwilling to be a chess player in power struggle before, how could he be willing to be a pawn in someone else's hand now?What's more, killing people with such unspeakable means... But Dongfang Su and Ah Fu...

"I want to see Ah Fu."

Under Dongfang Xuan's arrangement, Yuan Xiuru soon met his younger brother in the prison.He used to wait to die in despair in this cell, but now he is in a different place with Yuan Xiufu, but there is only sadness in his heart.

"So you know I'm here."

"Just found out."

"Although I couldn't take you out in person, I found someone to do it for me, so it's not a breach of my promise, is it?" Yuan Xiufu said with a casual look, "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. You are still a relative of the emperor, but I am a senior official." The prisoner, does the emperor feel unhappy about retribution?"

"Why do you say that, you and I are in a cage now, so don't you have the same fate?" Yuan Xiuru pulled his arm, raised his sleeve, and a long cut came into view.

"A Taoist priest with a yellow crown bleeds me, and I can't die," Yuan Xiufu pulled back his arm and said with a smile, "Thanks to this demon method, Dongfang Shi is not in a hurry to kill me."

"Before the father died, did you have anything to say?"

"At that time, I was no longer in Shenjing. I heard people on the road that before my father was murdered, I went to Anru Temple to worship the Buddha and asked the bandits not to hurt the people in the city."

"Why didn't you leave Shenjing together, and let the father die tragically in his sixtieth year?" Yuan Xiuru became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Because...before leaving, father said to me...he said..." Yuan Xiu's voice was choked up, "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country."

Yuan Xiuru finally couldn't help crying, and knelt down on the ground, "The child is not filial, so much so..."

At the beginning of Yuan Zhengguan's ascension to the throne, he wore clothes and food, diligently governed and cared for the people, expelled strong captives from outside, and punished national thieves from inside. If there is something immoral, even in the light of the axe, he still thinks in his heart that "all parties are guilty, and I am guilty", and he protects the people with his own body, and he refuses to run away and abandon the people.

"Brother, the emperor is gone, but we still have to live, don't we?" Yuan Xiufu hugged his brother and wiped away his tears.

"A Fu, have you ever thought about revenge?"

"The bandit leader has been wiped out a long time ago... Brother, we have to live well now!"

"Why do you lie to me?" Yuan Xiuru held his tear-wiping hand, "I know that the Protector deliberately let the rebels enter the city."

"Brother, if you say that, you must have got an opportunity." Yuan Xiufu was like a beast smelling blood, "What kind of opportunity?"

Yuan Xiuru shook his head, "I just ask you, if given the chance, would you take revenge?"

"I will, but brother, you won't, and you can't."

"why?"

"If your hands are also stained with blood, then there will be no innocent people in the world."

"Where are there innocent people in the world?"

"I built the country with the Buddha, not to pray for the Buddha to bless the country, but to hope that the Buddha's teachings will be broad and universal. To be happy is to be happy, and the sins of the common people are my own. I was blinded by ambition, and I couldn't turn back. The world is prosperous, and the monks are huddled beside the ancient Buddha with blue lamps. Who will keep a little mercy in the world? Three years without changing the way of the father, this is the greatest loyalty and filial piety, how can it be destroyed by the karma of hatred?"

"Brother, if you really wanted to harm someone, you wouldn't come to see me."

Not long after, it was another night of thunder and lightning, and Yuan Xiuru saw the livid-faced uncle twitching and falling on top of him.
