Chapter 228 A promise

During the busy days, Xu Hao deliberately attracted the monks and monks in the temple and learned that the Shuiyue Temple did not originate from the Middle Earth Zen Buddhism, but was a branch of the Western Regions Lamaism.

It existed in Bianliang, Tokyo as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, and later it crossed the river with King Kang Nima to settle outside Jinling City. Because it was not aware of men and women becoming monks and practicing together, and not drinking and meat, the worship of the Buddha was worshipped, which was unique among the major temples in Jinling.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, foreign monks were either killed or driven out of the Central Plains. The Buddha Huanxi was also sealed and changed to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, the rule of men and women living in the same temple was preserved, and the ratio of men and women became one to nine. The elders and others were all female monks. This was probably the norm in some nunnies, and a small number of male monks had to do some heavy work. Of course, as the Ming Dynasty became more conservative, it was gradually eliminated.

Xu Hao felt a little moved that the Han culture was too tolerant. Not only did Lamaism allow, but also Islam, but some churches that believe in Seme people have their own existence.

Speaking of Hui people, I have become addicted to eating beef this year, so I buy fresh beef from Hui people. The Ming Dynasty government strictly prohibits the people from killing cattle, but out of respecting the customs and habits of Hui people, they allow them to raise a large number of cows to slaughter and eat them. Many wineries in the capital provide dishes such as sauce beef.

(This is not made up by Xiaochai, it was indeed discovered by accident when searching for information recently. There are many records of Hui people raising cattle and eating meat in the Ming Dynasty books. It seems that many literati complain about this.)

Xu Hao sneaked into the temple on the pretext of nothing, listened to the female monks preaching, and after a few days, he had some experience. Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, he became increasingly convinced that Shuiyue Temple was a real cult first-class, so he calmly planned it.

After work that night, Xu Hao took advantage of the darkness to return to Weijia Village to reunite with Zhiqing. Li Xia and his wife and other families rushed over to meet each other. Everyone looked at the third young master's exaggerated patch outfit and said that the young master was even more beggars than the Beggars' Sect. Don't be taken by others to break his hands and feet and make a living by begging.

Everyone was just talking and making jokes, and no one noticed that Xu Hao's face changed slightly, but Zhiqing noticed it and did not ask immediately.

After sending everyone away, Xu Hao sat on the side with expressionless face and said silently. Zhiqing recalled the previous conversation and suddenly said, "Are you thinking about the Beggars' Sect? You feel depressed when you hear the interruption of your hands and feet."

"Although I became a slut, I can't be indifferent."

Xu Hao nodded in a real way and admitted that he did not regard this Beggar Gang as the other Beggar Gang, but instead recalled the memories he hated in his previous life. He deliberately tortured his child into a disabled and ruined his whole life. How despicable are those evil people? He was not able to care about anything at that time. He was obviously capable but deliberately turned a blind eye to him in this life. So he was still a human being?

Xu Hao suddenly stood up and said coldly: "If I want to ask me to investigate and deal with it, if I don't let those bastards go, I won't be named Xu."

Zhiqing was shocked and said that with this promise, it would be worthwhile to be with him for the rest of her life.

Zhiqing had heard of various rumors about the Beggars' Sect. She sighed: "It's a pity that these evil deeds often can be controlled for a while but not for a lifetime. The saint Long Qian was a beggar when he was a beggar. He knew that it was shameful. Therefore, after ascending the throne, he issued an order to investigate and punish beggars all over the world. Those who do evil were executed were executed, and those with hands and feet sent seeds to the fields and houses to support themselves. The elderly and disabled were supported by the government, and all the refugees moved to other provinces for proper resettlement. The beggars were almost gone for a while. Who knew that a few years had passed? Some people came out to beg in the capital."

Xu Hao also sighed: "Don't talk about this era, there will be some in the future. Most of the people who beg for a living are pitiful people. And if they are pitiful people, there must be something hateful. In short, when did I remember that as long as I have the ability, I have to meddle in other people's business."

Xiaojia Village said that after a big battle between Xu Ji and Hanmei, the mother and daughter of Wumei broke out due to the side effects of taking the wolf and tiger medicine for a long time. Fortunately, because she did not end up like Jiang Song because of her youth, she was sore in the waist and legs that she couldn't get up. She was not in good spirits and was anxious to urinate frequently and could not get angry for many consecutive days.

This made the concubines in the house very anxious. Now that his wife Wang Xuanqing has no children, who doesn’t want to rush to give birth to an eldest son? It’s also a good time when spring is blooming. It’s not difficult to work hard and everything will come true. How could Xu Ji suddenly fail?

He hurriedly sent someone to invite a famous doctor. After the doctor diagnosed his pulse, he said that this was a weak fire, a fever, a kidney water exhaustion, and a great damage to the Yuanyang cannot be cured. He abused the medicine and the dysfunction of the stone. He took medicine and took a rest for a while, and he would be cured if sexual intercourse was moderate. But in the future, he must be careful not to be greedy and indulge in restraint, and he may die suddenly.

Wang, who came after hearing the news, was furious and scolded his concubines so much that he ordered his son not to go to the room until he had recovered his body. He left angrily.

Wang Xuanqing and his concubines were both very wronged. They clearly set the rules for taking turns to sleep overnight. The eldest wife and her husband slept together for ten days a month, and each of the other five concubines was four days a month. For this reason, Wang Xuanqing often told them not to ask for pleasure. Xu Ji was a human being, not a cow. Even if the concubines disobeyed him, Wang Xuanqing knew that he had enough time to give his husband a good rest.

The problem is who will blame me for this incident? Wang Xuanqing blamed her concubines for only knowing how to please her husband and helping him hook up with wild flowers everywhere, while the concubines blamed her for not being able to tie her husband's heart, which made Xu Ji not stay at home all day long, and no one knowing who she had a ghost hurt her body every night.

Anyway, after all the arguments, they came to a conclusion. It seems that the sisters are not wrong. Who can do this man’s wife and concubine if he doesn’t go home? Forget it, everyone accepts his fate and don’t complain about each other. Now they work together to serve their husbands. After more than ten days of careful care, Xu Ji’s vitality has recovered and realized that nothing is wrong, and he can’t help asking to have sex with his wife and concubine.

However, Wang Xuanqing tried to persuade him, and the concubines didn't come secretly, for fear of angering his wife. Xu Ji also decided to raise him for a few more days, but in fact he was not confused. He was still young and had time, so there was no need to hurry up.

During this period, Yu and others came to visit Wang Xuanqing in turn. After suffering a great loss, Wang Xuanqing became more and more respectful of ghosts and gods. He believed in the Taoist nun's villain's story of being a villain, and spared no expense to offer 30 kilograms of lamp oil a month to seek the protection of the Buddha.

Don’t you know that these Taoist nuns are actually real evil villains who have gained benefits from Wang Xuanqing, and turned around and cheated money from the concubines, even the same statements.

The concubines all hoped to be able to grow jade in Lantian as soon as possible, so they naturally wanted to go to the most famous Shuiyue Temple to pray for children, and asked Xu Ji to allow them to go out and burn incense.

Wang Xuanqing was unhappy and used various excuses to stop him. Xu Ji was inconvenient to contradict his wife during this family matter. The concubines were unwilling to take turns to complain to him, which made him very upset.

As a brother to Xu Hao, Xu Ji, who can't afford to offend, can't afford to hide, decisively took off the leave and went to work in the palace. He met Xu Wen while resting in the class room. The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many days, and naturally got together.

Xu Ji forgot his situation and said, "You said the third brother is stupid or not. I don't even dare to go back to my family now if I don't want to be the prince consort."

Xu Wen said disagreeably: "If you marry a princess, you can't take a concubine, let alone a widow who is older than him, giving up the beauty of the Mu family and the whole house for the sake of a prince-consort? I don't want to do it."

"That's true." The lustful Xu Ji put his heart in his heart, feeling that he would not be happy. Unless he had both fish, meat, bear's paws, "Will the princess remarry? Have you ever been to our house?"

Xu Wen shook his head and said, "The death of the former son-in-law is related to the third son-in-law. How could he be willing to marry his enemy? After learning that the third son had run away secretly, he never visited him. Instead, our female relatives often visited him. By the way, your second sister-in-law said that she invited the prince to go to Shuiyue Temple outside the city to worship Buddha."

Xu Ji said speechlessly, "Why is it Shuiyue Temple again?" He told his family matters. After hearing this, Xu Wen whispered mysteriously: "I just want to discuss with you. It is said that Shuiyue Temple is very effective in seeking a child. You think the prince has never had any children in two years of marriage. You can find an opportunity to give advice to Your Highness a message. If everything you want is done, there is no need to say much more about the benefits."

Xu Ji's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Da Shan, brother, you have a good idea. I really admire you."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from you. This was something your second sister-in-law said inadvertently. I thought it was feasible when I heard it. It would be the least helpful to work. I will never blame anyone for the prince's grandson."

Xu Ji smiled and said, "Yes, by the way, our brothers will try their luck, as the saying goes, sincerity will make you feel good."

Now my younger brother has been worshipped under the crown prince. Therefore, Xu Wen made this proposal, and Xu Ji immediately took the time to go to the East Palace to see Zhu Yunwen. However, he did not expect that the crown prince Ma was already two months pregnant and had just been confirmed by the imperial doctor. This made Xu Ji sigh that he was one step too late. If he had taken the crown prince to Shuiyue Temple two months ago, wouldn’t he be the number one hero at this moment?

Xu Ji had a sudden inspiration at that time and said to Zhu Yunwen: "Recently, I heard that a group of monks came from Shuiyue Temple outside the city. The Dharma is boundless. I am willing to accompany Your Highness to pray for the Crown Princess and pray that God will bless the mother and son with peace."

Zhu Yunwen frowned. He was deeply influenced by Confucianism. His son did not say that he was strange and indiscriminate, so he naturally had a distant attitude towards Buddhism and Taoism. He was also influenced by great scholars around him for many years and did not want to see the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism and even influence the treasury taxes.

Xu Ji is also a scholar. He immediately understood the words and expressions, and smiled and said, "It's okay to do it occasionally. Besides, Your Highness is in the deep palace all year round, so why don't you take this opportunity to go out and relax? By the way, you can check the people's situation and explore the reality of Buddhism and Taoism, which can be said to be a win-win situation."

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunwen agreed with this. It happened that he had recently invited Fang Xiaoru, a famous master of the world, to invite his husband to go for a deep conversation. He nodded with a smile.

Xu Ji was overjoyed and reported the matter to his father after he came out. Xu Yaozu immediately asked to see the emperor and told him about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing the memorial, didn't care after hearing this, and asked casually: "Where did Xu Hao go? I ordered him to be responsible for Yun Wen's trip."

Xu Yaozu felt a little uncomfortable and said loudly: "I heard from the emperor that my nephew has been away from home for some time. But I dare to guarantee my life, and I will never make any mistakes in the crown prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and sneered, "Can you afford it? This matter is handed over to Qianhu Muxi and ordered Xu Hao to come back to see me within a specified period of time. It's not that I don't trust you, but that you are just a newcomer, how can you instruct the Jinyiwei Ruyiwei? Go down."

"yes."

Xu Yaozu kowtowed in a deep voice, feeling both uncomfortable and wronged. He thought he had been in the military for half his life. It turned out that nothing was in the eyes of the emperor. If it weren't for his nephew's sake, how could he be appointed as a grand Jinyiwei Qianhu?

He was about to get up and leave, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said, "Don't be discouraged. I still admire your qualifications very much. You are a meritorious minister. But as a member of the Xu family, you are not allowed to say it, but only Xu Hao understands this. Go, I will not treat you badly in the future."

Xu Yaozu's blood was rising and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty clearly understands that although I am a member of the Xu family, I have already established my own family and are not willing to protect my family. Therefore, I was foolish in my early years and was still guilty of this matter. If the emperor had not given his kindness, I would have sent my life in a daze. Today, I swear to heaven that I would die for the emperor, and that I would never be bound by the family and anyone else, and that I would be loyal to the country."

"Well said." Zhu Yuanzhang looked pleased and nodded frequently to express his approval. "As a minister, you should do this. Since your beloved has such responsibility, then leave Yunwen's travel to you."
