Tang's dining table

When Yunchu met Master Xuanzang, he was bathing in the somewhat cold morning sunlight. The early morning sunlight showed different light and shade on his face.

Seeing Wukong in monk robes coming over, Master Xuanzang kept looking at him with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with Yunchu's appearance.

Master Guiji, who was standing by, glanced at the little novice, who then brought a futon and placed it on Master Xuanzang's left hand, just opposite Master Guiji.

"Did you gain anything?" Master Xuanzang asked directly.

"Nothing gained." Yunchu said truthfully.

"I thought you were born with Buddha nature. It seems that I think highly of you." Master Xuanzang hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.

Master Guiji was afraid that the father and son would quarrel, so he smiled and said: "Born is one thing, but I think understanding is more important."

Xuanzang said: "The peacock was stubborn and unyielding, and swallowed the Buddha into its belly. The Buddha wanted to leave through the toilet door, but was worried about tarnishing his true body, so he cut open the peacock's back and rode him to Lingshan Mountain. , when he wanted to hurt his life, he was persuaded by the Buddhas, hurting the peacock is like hurting his mother, so he kept the peacock in the Lingshan Assembly, and also awarded his mother the Peacock Daming King Bodhisattva.

It can be seen that Buddha nature is inherently self-contained and has little to do with whether we practice or not, or whether we are enlightened or not. "

Upon hearing this, Master Guiji glanced at Yunchu sadly, then slowly closed his eyes.

Master Xuanzang said to Yunchu again: "How are you going to become a Buddha?"

Yun Chu said: "Educate all sentient beings."

"Let me ask you, how to save all sentient beings?"

"I am willing to solve the three thousand difficulties in this world."

"Where does the difficulty come from?"

"Chang'an!"

"Where did Chang'an's difficulties come from?"

"Because of greed, anger and ignorance."

"How to solve the problem?"

"Temporarily borrow a golden mountain from Master. No increase or damage will be done. The original thing will be returned in two years."

Hearing Yunchu talk about Jinshan, Master Guiji immediately opened his eyes and stared at Yunchu with his divine light.

Master Xuanzang remained calm, looked at Yunchu and said, "What will be the consequences if I don't borrow it?"

Yun Chu said equally calmly: "Swordsmen and soldiers are everywhere, and mourning is everywhere. Even if the Buddhist monks are armed with shovels, they can't bury all the corpses everywhere."

Master Xuanzang said again: "What if the magical weapon is damaged?"

Yun Chu put his hands together and said: "From now on, there will only be Monk Wukong in the world, and there will be no more Yun Chu."

Master Guiji was afraid that Master Xuanzang would agree immediately, so he immediately said: "Wukong is not as important as a magical weapon."

Yunchu looked at Master Guiji and said, "Wukong can create another Jinshan magic weapon."

Master Qiji actually nodded when he heard this, and then said to Master Xuanzang: "The magic weapon of Guangfu Temple can be suspended for two years."

Master Xuanzang looked at Yunchu and said, "Can't it be reversed?"

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Yes, it just needs to be guided by Wukong's head."

Master Xuanzang sighed and said: "The emperor is arrogant and arrogant, which is not a good thing."

Yun Chu said: "He can't just throw innocent people under the cliff."

Master Xuanzang pondered for a moment and clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, that's good, that's good."

Yunchu took out a book of notes from his arms and placed it respectfully in front of Master Xuanzang.

Master Xuanzang picked up the text and started to read it. After just a few glances, he said in horror: "Is the suffering so severe?"

Yun Chu said: "The ten years of achievements of hundreds of millions of people will be destroyed in one day, and the people, the country, and the country may enter a new reincarnation."

Master Xuanzang quietly finished reading the text, and did not hand it over to Qiuji, who had his neck stretched out. Instead, he asked for a candle and lit it on the spot. After the text was completely turned into ashes, he said to Qiuji: "Go." Get ready sooner rather than later."

Yunchu stood up and kowtowed to Master Xuanzang. He was a truly compassionate man.

After Yunchu left, Master Guiji looked at Master Xuanzang but hesitated to speak.

Master Xuanzang sighed: "Chang'an, there will be another sea of ​​blood..."

Master Guiji said: "Buddha subdued the peacock with force. From then on, there was another Bodhisattva in Buddhism. Why didn't Master take advantage of this disaster and let Wukong destroy the magic weapon to calm the disaster, and then enter my Buddhism? The poor monk thought that the magic weapon was common. It is not common to be enlightened. If you are enlightened, enlightened, and enlightened, you can enter my recluse, and your Buddhist sect will flourish."

Master Xuanzang picked up the thick cane beside him, rounded it and hit it on Qiuji's head. When Qiuji's eyes were filled with stars, he shouted: "Hey! Wake up!"

When Yun Chu came out of Guangfu Temple, Wen Wen and Di Renjie were waiting for him at the door.

Di Renjie grabbed Yun Chu's arm and said, "Did you borrow it?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "I borrowed it, but I have to pay it back in two years."

Gentle said: "What should I do if I still can't?"

Yun Chu's face twitched and he said: "From now on, there are no more Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie in the world. There are really only three monks left, Wukong, Wu Neng, and Wu Jing."

Wen Wen raised her hand to rub her bald head and said, "It's not bad. It's just that my head is hairless. It's cool!"

Di Renjie looked at him tenderly and said: "This time, don't do anything reckless. We don't think about the emperor, but we also have to think about the people of the Tang Dynasty."

Wen Wen looked at Di Renjie strangely and said, "Do you think I will do something bad?"

Di Renjie said: "I just think that if the emperor dies, you will definitely raise a toast to celebrate."

She looked at Di Renjie tenderly and said, "Don't you know how?"

Di Renjie said: "I usually raise a toast to celebrate after the emperor is buried."

Wen Wen said angrily: "What difference does it make?"

Di Renjie said: "One is in line with etiquette, and the other is not in line with etiquette. To be honest, children are the most respected when they become emperors. You think, why doesn't God give us three brothers a two-year-old boy emperor?"

I will definitely ensure that this child emperor can grow up safely, and then..."

Wen Wen didn't wait for Di Renjie to finish his words before interjecting: "Kill him to death again, and then support the baby who is only one month old to become the emperor?"

Di Renjie said angrily: "That's not what I meant."

Wen Wenhe smiled evilly and said, "That's what I mean."

Since these two people became monks, their temperaments have changed a lot. It seems that they really feel that they have escaped into Buddhism, and they can say anything that has nothing to do with the four elements.

"Speaking of which, your Aye is really nice to you. Unlike me, Aye, who always asks me for money. He always thinks that my current wealth is comparable to that of those aristocratic families."

"The business in Dahang City is very important to you, so you have to pay more attention to running it."

Wen Wen nodded and said, "You can't just sell salted fish and seafood. The journey is long and you won't make much money."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Businesses are developed. If there is no use, there will be no business."

Di Renjie said: "Since you, Aye, have agreed to lend us the magical implements from Guangfu Temple, from now on, I will prepare to copy my scriptures carefully and write his bloody memorial in a gentle way. Please think about it carefully. How to respond if something breaks out.”

Since moving into Guangfu Temple, Yun Chu's ears and eyes have become clearer.

There are very few things in this world that Buddhists don't know. Even though they always stay in remote temples, when it comes to being well-informed, the information channels that Yun Chu and the others have set up are far behind.

The emperor and the empress are still on their way back to Luoyang. Wherever they go, they are still dealing with local tyrants unscrupulously. This journey can be said to be a killing.

As the emperor and empress's carriages drew closer to Luoyang, the nobles in Luoyang City fled more and more violently. Even the nobles who fled to Chang'an could not feel the slightest bit of safety.

Therefore, more nobles and nobles headed east, preparing to go to Japan to find a stable place to live for their families.

The news that Yun Chu resigned from office and became a monk came much faster than the emperor's official announcement.

Just when people were still suspecting that this was a rumor, Yun's caravan, Yun's stores, and factories had already begun to clean up their product catalogs hanging on the Liushui sign.

On the second day after returning to Chang'an from the caravan manager, the factories, shops, and caravans belonging to the Yun family stopped accepting any new orders. The existing orders began to be quickly priced at the current price regardless of the price. Delivery, even if it means losing a lot of money, will not hesitate.

The most important thing is that the Yun family has begun to sell its own properties to outsiders. This move is the beginning of a family's decline.

Of course, the Yun family still retains the large canteen, quilts, bedding, toys, and anti-virus industries. Other industries such as Wannian wine, leather workshops, paper workshops, book printing workshops, etc. are all moving towards On sale.

The merchants of the Tang Dynasty were somewhat greedy for profit, or they were blinded by the peace of more than ten years. They felt that the unlucky one this time was the Yun family, which had nothing to do with Chang'an, and there was no sense of the big players running away and following the stock market.

The news that Yun's family property was sold was quickly delivered to Li Zhi.

After listening to Wu Mei's news, Li Zhi sighed and said, "This two hundred and fifty looks really sad this time."

Wu Mei said: "I don't have the consciousness of a courtier."

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "Is Chang'an still safe?"

Wu Mei said: "Baiqisi reported that Chang'an is as safe as ever. Yun Chu's resignation did not cause much trouble. Many people in Chang'an talked about it in teahouses and restaurants, but few took actual actions.

Wannian County is working as usual under the leadership of Chief Secretary Shen Ru. Although some of the officials below are a little panicked, most of them are Yunchu's cronies. This is not a big deal. As long as His Majesty orders them to stay in peace. So, things calmed down. "

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It seems that you don't want to change the officialdom of Chang'an, right?"

Wu Mei said: "Yunchu's talents cannot be replaced by others. It is for this reason that I have targeted him. In the Tang Dynasty, the only person who is irreplaceable is Your Majesty."

Li Zhi said: "Be careful. Yun Chu told me a long time ago that Chang'an is different from other places. Just like the waterwheels and trebuchets he made, many seemingly useless things actually have a great effect. , if the queen can't find someone who can compare with Yunchu, it's best to follow the rules and don't be too smart."

Wu Mei said: "Chang'an is just a city governed by people. If you give me some time, you may be able to figure out the secret of the entire Chang'an."

Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Yun Chu said that there are no secrets in Chang'an, and I am willing to believe that there are no secrets in Chang'an. Therefore, queen, you should understand that this time you are the one who is trying your best to promote changes in Chang'an.

Since you are full of confidence, is the Queen ready to bear the consequences if something goes wrong? "

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "I am doing this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. How can I be punished just because I do something wrong?"

Li Zhi pointed at Wu Mei and sighed: "Since you are worried, since you are not sure, why bother touching it?"
