Chapter 378 Dharma Conference
Chu Zhengfei said: "There are too many monks entering the customs these days. There are not even a hundred but eighty a day. When it comes to the monks in white, there are not many. I just don't know what the young lady asked. Who is he? Does he have a name and where is he practicing? "
When they heard this, they were both stunned.
For a while, they didn't care about their names or where they practiced. Yu Wenye frowned and asked: "How come there are so many monks entering the customs?"
Chu Zhengfei smiled and said: "It seems that the second young master and the young lady still don't know. On August 15th - the day after tomorrow, there will be a Dharma conference in Daxing City. Monks from all over the world are invited. The news has spread throughout the nearby states and counties. . These days, monks from all over the country are rushing to Daxing City. They used to come in groups every day. They formed a group to cross the pass and blocked the pass. Moreover, the imperial court also promised that the counties and counties along the way would provide them with free food and accommodation, which almost emptied the granary in Tongguan. In the past two days, most of them had already eaten up. When we arrived at Daxing City, there were fewer people passing by. ”
Shang Ruyi. Frowning, he said: "We stopped in Yanyue City before, why didn't you know?"
"This-"
Chu Zhengfei was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer, but Yu Wenye on the side pondered. After a while, he said: "I'm afraid it was because of the war in Dongdu before. This news It couldn't be passed on for the time being; when we came over later, we kept walking on small roads and saw no one, so we didn't hear the news."
Shang Ruyi nodded and looked again. Chu Zhengfei said: "But where was the ceremony held?"
"It is the Dharma Assembly at the Royal Temple, Dayan Temple."
"What is the purpose of this Dharma Assembly?"
"The purpose..."
Speaking of this, then Chu Zhengfei's face There was also a strange look on his face, and he said with a half-smile: "The first purpose is, of course, to preach and promote Buddhism."
Yu Wenye said: "What about the second one?"
Chu Zhengfei did not answer immediately, but looked at Shang Ruyi cautiously.
That glance deepened the haze that was already rising in Shang Ruyi's heart, and she seemed to have vaguely guessed something.
After a long silence, Chu Zhengfei said cautiously: "The second one is - the late emperor."
"...!"
As soon as he heard these two words , Shang Ruyi's breath was choked.
Yu Wenye's expression also darkened.
So, that’s it.
Actually, what Chu Zhengfei said before was just saying it slowly. In fact, this Dharma conference has no other purpose. At this moment, in the face of such a world situation, holding a Dharma conference is just a matter of time. There is only one purpose, the only one—
The late Emperor Chu Yang!
Although after Yu Wenyuan occupied Daxing City, he had already made King Zhao Chu Chengfei the emperor and respected Chu Yang of Jiangdu Palace as the Supreme Emperor. In fact, he was ignored in the eyes of the world, but the Supreme Emperor was still the Supreme Emperor after all. , still has the dignity of an emperor. Moreover, since the news of his Bintian has spread throughout the world, the new emperor who succeeds to the throne must also express his opinions.
This Dharma conference was held for him.
Yu Wenye also understood why Chu Zhengfei showed such a strange expression to Shang Ruyi just now.
Now that the news about Chu Yang Bintian has come, it is obvious that some of the information Wang Shao and others attached to the news has been known to the people in Daxing City - Shang Ruyi regicide!
So, in the eyes of the world, Chu Yang died in the hands of the young lady of the Yuwen family.
But now, the court is holding such a ceremony...
I don’t know where they will take Shang Ruyi.
Yu Wenye lowered her head and glanced at the people around her. Although she seemed to have tried her best to look calm and indifferent, her gloomy eyes and slightly trembling fingertips hanging on her side could not be deceived. people.
Yu Wenye reached over calmly and gently held her hand.
“…!”
Shang Ruyi was shocked and looked up at him.
Yu Wenye didn't look at her, but said to Chu Zhengfei: "Since there is such a big event, we can't neglect it. It would be great if we can rush back in time to attend this ceremony." Chu Zhengfei also had a trace of emotion on his face. Surprised look: "The second young master and the young lady are also going?"
Yu Wenye said: "Of course."
Chu Zhengfei looked at him, then looked at him Shang Ruyi seemed to have calmed down.
Although Yu Wenye never looked down at herself, the warmth from her palms gradually calmed her down. Shang Ruyi even took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a smile: "This way Of course we will go to the Dharma conference.”
"..."
Chu Zhengfei looked at them with a complicated expression.
After a while, he smiled and said: "If this is the case, then I will prepare the carriage and new horses tomorrow, so that the two of you can travel smoothly and reach Daxing City before August 15th."
Yu Wenye said: "Then, I would like to thank General Chu first."
Chu Zhengfei immediately said: "Second Young Master, your words are serious."
So the three of them raised their glasses again and drank together.
They drank a lot that night, but when Yu Wenye brought Shang Ruyi back to the room, the two of them were a little calmer than usual under the smell of alcohol. Even when Shang Ruyi Ruyi sat in front of the bronze mirror. When she took off the hairpin ring on her body, she looked at Yu Wenye's eyes reflected in the mirror, which were also extremely clear.
Yu Wenye also looked at her through the mirror.
The two looked at each other for a long time, both seemed to have something to say, but they were both silent.
After a long time, Shang Ruyi finally spoke first: "The Dharma Conference——"
"Don't worry."
Yu Wenye sat on the couch in the room and said in a deep voice: "Now that my father has become the prime minister, although Dayan Temple is a royal temple, the court still needs permission to hold the ceremony. Enxu, this must have been done with his consent."
"..."
"Since he agreed, there is nothing to worry about."
< br>“……”
Shang Ruyi looked up at the mirror and moved his eyes to the hand on his knee.
Just now, when I heard the purpose of the Dharma meeting, that rough but gentle hand grabbed me and sent me his body temperature to calm me down.
At this time, even if she just glanced at his thick fingers, she seemed to have gained a little peace in her heart.
So he nodded.
But after being silent for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Then have you ever thought about who proposed to hold this Dharma ceremony?"
Hearing this, Yu Wenye's breathing seemed to pause.
He looked at Shang Ruyi's eyes reflected in the bronze mirror and remained silent without speaking.
But in fact, this question is not difficult to answer. Since this Dharma conference is a grand event of Buddhism, the people who proposed to hold this Dharma conference are naturally Buddhists.
However, this question is a bit difficult to answer -
Who is this Buddhist person?
In the relative silence between the two people, the night gradually darkened.
And in the night, a group of men and horses left Tongguan and hurried toward Daxing City.
