Live as the emperor

Chapter 13 King Jin's Disaster Relief Plan
The tea in the temple, the color of the tea soup is very light, but the fragrance is very strong. Chen Guang took a sip, smacked his lips, and said: "Good tea."

Shi Ran said: "This tea is all picked from an ancient tea tree on Yufeng. If His Royal Highness King Jin likes it, you can take some back with you."

"Thank you very much. I came this time to discuss a deal with the abbot." Chen Guang said.

Shi Ran straightened his body, and said solemnly: "The pure place of Buddhism, what kind of business are you talking about? Could it be that His Royal Highness Jin Wang went to the wrong place?"

Chen Guang smiled and said: "Of course not. Yufeng Temple has such a big face, and this king is not blind, how could he go to the wrong place. Why is it not allowed to do business in a pure place of Buddhism? In the past, Tathagata also did business with others." A businessman. The Buddha can do it, why can't you do it?"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Shi Ran's face softened a little, and he looked at Chen Guang,

Chen Guangdao: "In the past, the Tathagata once said clearly that 'the scriptures should not be passed on lightly, nor should they be taken in vain'. Those Buddhists were as puzzled as you are. The Tathagata explained the reason, and said, 'It is only because the monks and monks went down the mountain a few years ago. , I once recited the scriptures with him at the home of Elder Zhao in Shewei State, to ensure the safety of the living in his family and the detachment of the dead. I only got three buckets and three liters of rice and gold from him. I also said that they are too cheap to teach future generations The children and grandchildren have no money to use it. 'I went to read the scriptures with others, saved the souls of the dead, and went to ask for gold. You say, this is not a business, so what is it?"

"This..." Shi Ran and the monks next to him looked at each other, then shook their heads one after another, as if they had never heard of it.Shi Ran then said: "The poor monk claims to have read the classics, but he has never seen this allusion. I didn't expect His Royal Highness Jin Wang to be so knowledgeable."

Chen Guang was proud. If you have seen him, he would be really weird. These words are from "Journey to the West". In today's world, even the story of Xuanzang's Journey to the West has not appeared, so where did "Journey to the West" come from? "Journey to the West"?
He said solemnly: "I just met it by chance, and I don't know what the scriptures said. Just remember, the Buddha has done business, why can't you do business."

Shi Ran said: "Then His Royal Highness Jin Wang, what kind of business do you want to do with my Yufeng Temple?"

Chen Guang took another sip of tea and said, "It's snowing all over the north. I wonder if the abbot knows about it?"

The abbot stroked his white beard and said, "Naturally, there have been many refugees from the north outside the city in the past few days."

Then his face changed, and he said: "The king of Jin means that I want Yufeng Temple to accept refugees?"

This was obviously not what he wanted to see, that's why his reaction was so intense.

"Of course not, that's so boring. But if those refugees are not appeased, they will be a great threat to the capital. Once they are used by those who want to, the consequences will be unimaginable. Don't you think so?"

Shi Ran felt a little confused again, since Yufeng Temple does not need to accept refugees, what are you talking about?
"Then what does King Jin mean?"

Chen Guangdao: "I want to give you a blessing, I don't know if you would like to accept it."

"how do I say this?"

"According to records, Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was originally the son of King Jingfan of Kapilavastu. He saw that all living beings were suffering from birth, old age, sickness and death, and was dissatisfied with the theocratic rule of Brahmans at that time. He abandoned his throne and became a monk to practice Taoism. After six years of asceticism, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he attained enlightenment and became a Buddha under the bodhi tree. During these six years of asceticism, he only ate one hemp and one meter per day. Is that so.”

Seeing that Chen Guang was so clear about the history and classics of Buddhism, Shi Ran naturally had an idea. As soon as Chen Guang finished speaking, Shi Ran's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "His Royal Highness Jin Wang believes in Buddhism?"

I believe in your sister, but I believe in Marx!What does it mean to believe in a bald donkey?Can't make a fuss.

Making complaints in his heart, Chen Guang avoided talking about his own beliefs, and said, "I just checked when I was out, and the day after tomorrow is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Why don't you use this opportunity to promote Buddhism?"

"Is this... okay?" Shiran said that he could no longer keep up with Chen Guang's thoughts. It seemed that every sentence couldn't be connected.

Seeing his expression, Chen Guang knew that Shi Ran had been misunderstood, and said: "In Kapilavastu, Buddhists, in order to commemorate Sakyamuni, imitated the practice of shepherdess offering chylus before Sakyamuni became enlightened. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, take out the leftovers at home and give them to the poor, and take this opportunity to spread the Dharma, which has achieved very good results, why don't you learn it?"

"Is there such a thing?" Shi Ran obviously didn't know this allusion.

In fact, Buddhism is generally similar to the development track of the world that Chen Guang lived in before, but there may be a little difference in details. At least the entire Qian Dynasty still doesn't care much about religion.

There are also some allusions that may be different. For example, Laba is originally a Buddhist festival, but there is no such thing in this world.But this may not be considered a mistake, after all, in the land of China, the rise of the Laba Festival was already a matter of the Song Dynasty.

Chen Guang said with a smile: "Of course there are. If you don't believe me, you can check the classics. As the abbot, you must be familiar with these classics."

The abbot secretly glanced at the person next to him, coughed, and said seriously: "The poor monk remembered, it seems that this happened, it seems that the poor monk is still old."

As an abbot of a royal temple, if he is not as good as an outsider when it comes to Buddhist scriptures, it doesn't seem very pleasant to say it. In order to save face, he chose to speak nonsense with his eyes open.

The monks next to me looked confused. Is this really the case?why i don't know
But looking at the abbot's expression, they felt uncertain again. Could it be that they really remembered it wrong?

The abbot's reaction was completely under Chen Guang's control, and he continued: "Then now comes the question, are you willing to inherit the will of the Buddha?"

"This..." It is impossible for a person who can get into the position of abbot to have a bad brain. Chen Guang made such a big detour, and finally got to the point.

And the key point is to let Yufeng Temple go outside the city to give out porridge to help the refugees.

Chen Guang said slowly: "If the emperor finds out about your good deeds of giving porridge, Long Yan will be delighted...you understand."

The abbot's eyes lit up, and he said, "I don't know how the king of Jin plans to get married with such a good relationship?"

"First of all, I will come forward as the king of Jin and provide you with a venue. Then, you will send people to distribute the porridge. When I report to the emperor, I will name all the food provided by your Yufeng Temple. For one thing...you know, once you get the support of your father, your Yufeng Temple will probably be very different from what it is now." Chen Guang had already thought of a plan—or he didn't have to think about it at all.In that world, no matter if you are singing or dancing, playing basketball or football, you will be embarrassed to speak without attracting dozens of sponsors.

The abbot thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and agreed.

The new dynasty has just been established, and religion is in urgent need of recognition and support from the government. Even without Chen Guang's visit today, I am afraid they will take some actions to promote this matter in the future. Now it is equivalent to Chen Guang personally putting this opportunity in front of in front of them.Rather than saying that this made them have a good relationship, it was better to say that it made them have an imperial relationship. As long as it can bring them closer to the emperor, no matter what they do, it is not too much.

All of this is under control, Chen Guang expressed his satisfaction, and said: "Then we have a happy cooperation."

The abbot proclaimed a Buddha's name and said: "My Buddha is merciful! The poor monk will definitely teach everyone in Yufeng Temple to receive this blessing."

Chen Guang said: "That would be the best."

He got up and left the Daxiong Hall, a monk came over and stuffed a bag of tea into Yang Rong's hand, and then sent him down the boundary of Yufeng Temple, and the two sides said goodbye.

In the Daxiong Hall, high-level monks gathered together to discuss this cooperation plan.

"Abbot, are we really going to give porridge?" someone asked.

Shi Ran said righteously: "Of course, the Buddha was merciful back then. As a Buddhist disciple, he must follow in the Buddha's footsteps."

"I don't know how many refugees there are, but don't take all the food in the temple for disaster relief." Someone said worriedly.

Shi Ran said confidently: "No, we are just putting on a show, and so what if we sell some food, if the Emperor Long Yan is happy, this loss can be exchanged a thousand times. "

"makes sense."

In the live broadcast room, it was also very lively.

"The anchor has been secretive for so long. It turned out that he went to solicit sponsorship. He was a white wolf with empty gloves. He really didn't embarrass us 21st century talents."

"Inexplicably happy, I just want to say, the anchor is doing well."

"I don't like Buddhism at all, I feel like I'm just fooling people."

"I don't believe in Buddhism, and I don't care whether others believe in Buddhism or not. Anyway, the protagonist should not believe in Buddhism."

"It's from the Deyun Society upstairs."

After Chen Guang came down from Yufeng Temple, he went around the city again, and was startled when he saw the refugees gathered together. There were too many people.

It seems that Yufeng Temple is about to bleed heavily this time.Sure enough, soliciting sponsorship is still a very wise choice, but can the Yufeng Temple family stand up to it?How many companies should we mobilize?

at the same time.

In the East Palace, Chen Yong got the news that Chen Guang's civet cat was exchanged for the prince by accident.

Knowing that he was the one chosen by Min'er, but was replaced by his second brother, he was furious.

"Too much deception, simply too much deception!"

He grabbed a valuable pen washer, smashed it to pieces on the ground
Immediately a eunuch came in to tidy up. Looking at Chen Yong's appearance, he didn't dare to persuade him, and kept his head down to do his own thing.

Then another person came over and said to the door: "His Royal Highness, the King Jin's whereabouts report is here. He went to Yufeng Temple and left the city."

"What is he going to do?"

"I don't know."

"Check it out for me!"

"Yes."

After losing his temper, Chen Yong sat down with a gloomy face. He felt more and more that his second brother was becoming more active day by day.

What are you doing outside the city?What's outside the city now?Refugees, countless refugees!
It seems that my second brother wants to do something.

Okay, if you make me fail, don't even think about it!

Chen Yong clenched his fists.
