Chapter 788 Liu Yushi and Baiyun Temple
As night fell, Zhu Pingan, Liu Mu, and Liu Dadao rode their horses into the Linhuaihou Mansion before the curfew.
At the same time, the Baiyun Temple in the Xicheng District of the capital was brightly lit. In stark contrast, the gate of the Baiyun Temple was somewhat bleak.
The gate of the temple is empty, with only a door frame, but no door. There are still traces of rotten vegetable leaves, fruits and eggs that have not been thoroughly washed on the door frame; Buddha, everything you see is Buddha; your heart is cow dung, everything you see turns into cow dung.” I don’t know what kind of ink was used to mix it. The monks of Baiyun Temple washed it more than ten times and did not completely wash it away.
At the entrance of Baiyun Temple, there are two monks standing with sticks, their eyes are piercing, patrolling around, guarding against any "dung-out-the-wall" guests coming back during the day.
After the door was smashed today, I haven’t had time to replace it yet.
On the day when Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva became enlightened, more than a hundred ever-burning lamps were enshrined in each hall of Baiyun Temple. In each hall, several monks sat on futons, meditating and chanting scriptures.
These brightly lit Buddhist halls are distributed in good order at both ends of the central axis of Baiyun Temple. They are spread out in depth and have many halls and pavilions. There are also several courtyards built around the halls and pavilions.
Among these courtyards, the one built around the Dabei Pavilion is the place with the best scenery and the most complete furnishings in the entire Baiyun Temple. It can be said to be the essence of the entire Baiyun Temple.
This courtyard house is the place where Baiyun Temple accommodates laymen, and it is also the place where Baiyun Temple entertains distinguished guests.
At this time, the courtyard of Dabei Pavilion was brightly lit, and there was a burst of hearty and Zen-like laughter.
In the main room of the courtyard house, there was a table of exquisite and sumptuous vegetarian dishes. There were six people sitting around the table, and the one sitting at the head was an official in seventh-rank official uniform, who was over forty years old and tall. With an upright face and a sense of official authority, he was stroking his beard and smiling, letting out a burst of hearty laughter.
This person is Liu Dengwen, a well-known Zhengqi-rank censor in the capital. Liu Yushi was born in an official family, or more precisely, he was born in a family of censors. His uncle is now Changlu's inspector salt censor.
Liu Yushi's name is Liu Dengwen, and the word Dengwen was taken from his father's "Dengwen Drum". It can be seen from this that his father hopes that his son will inherit his father's business.
Liu Yushi did not disappoint his father. At the age of twenty-five, he was selected as a scholar, at the age of thirty-five, he was selected for the examination, at the age of forty, he was admitted as a Jinshi, and at the age of forty-one, he became the supervisor of Shuntian. With the help of his father and uncle's connections, coupled with Liu Yushi's own efforts, he soon became well-known in the censor circle.
Liu Yushi is good at seizing opportunities and has a keen political intuition. He has selectively impeached many people in the capital, and soon became famous. Among the censors in the capital, Liu Yushi is considered to be one of the famous ones.
Although Liu Yushi is only a seventh-rank official, he is quite well-known and influential in this capital where throwing a brick can hit two or three sixth-rank officials.
One reason is that Liu Yushi is in Beijing to supervise the censor. His official position is not high, but his power is not small. , the imperial city, the five cities, and the right to be on duty in Dengwengu, and enjoy the power to impeach law-breaking and incompetent officials directly to the emperor; secondly, it is Liu Yushi's contacts and his personal popularity.
Speaking of it, the relationship between Liu Yushi and Baiyun Temple began six years ago, when Liu Yushi was forty and had just become an official in Beijing.
However, in Lizhi's middle age, he was a Jinshi in the age of no doubts, and he was in an official position. Speaking of which, Liu Yushi was at the pinnacle of his life, but Liu Yushi had one regret, that is, he married a wife at the age of eighteen and married at the age of twenty. Taking a concubine, divorced his wife at the age of twenty-five and remarried. He has been married and started a business for more than twenty years. He has taken three concubines, but he has no sons under his knees, not even a daughter.
Six years ago, Liu Yushi's first wife heard that the Baiyun Temple was very prosperous, and that she would respond to requests, and it was very effective, so she came to the Guanyin Hall of the Baiyun Temple to worship the Buddha and make a wish.
Once, twice, and even to show sincerity, the third time I fasted for three days in Baiyun Temple and knelt down in front of the Buddha statue for three days.
It is also said that sincerity leads to spirit, Liu Yushi Xuxian's wife moved Guanyin, and soon after returning for the third time, Liu Yushi's first wife became pregnant. Although my son was born half a month prematurely, his body and bones are no worse than other full-term children, on the contrary, he is still very strong.
Thus, Liu Yushi also formed a relationship with Baiyun Temple. Liu Yushi is a frequent visitor of Baiyun Temple, and he can be regarded as a "resident" of Baiyun Temple.
Liu Yushi's wife also often came to Baiyun Temple to offer incense and fulfill her vows to bless her child's safety.
Last month, Liu Yushi's wife became pregnant again.
This time, Liu Yushi came to Baiyun Temple to fulfill his wish.
Sitting next to Liu Yushi is also an official, also a supervisory censor named Wang Dongfang. His reputation is not as good as Liu Yushi's, but his connections are not inferior to Liu Yushi's. Both are officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. We have a good relationship, and often sing poems and wine memorials, and when you impeach someone, I will join you in name or something.
The remaining four are all monks. Sitting opposite Liu Yushi is the presiding abbot of Baiyun Temple, and sitting next to the abbot of Baiyun Temple is Master Manjusri, an eminent monk who came to Baiyun Temple to hold a Dharma assembly. He is the deacon of Baiyun Temple.
"Hehehe, Master Manjusri's 'Zhu Ping'an and dogs are not allowed to enter!' sign is good." Liu Yushi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I'm yelling at Zhu Ping'an for blaspheming my Buddha." Killers, that's all they have to do."
"Amitabha, whoever will go to **** if I don't. It's just that I didn't expect to implicate Baiyungui Temple, which made the poor monk feel quite uneasy." The eminent monk, Master Manjusri, chanted the Buddha's name, put his hands together, and looked at Baiyun with eighteen apologies on his face. The temple host said.
"Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust. The door does not exist, and the filth does not exist. Why does the master care about it?" The abbot of Baiyun Temple smiled slightly. .
"It's so good, so good, it's a poor monk who made a picture." The eminent monk, Master Manjusri pinched the Buddha's seal with his hand, and nodded with a smile.
"Abbot, master, you have profound Buddhist teachings, but we can't bear this anger. In vain, Zhu Ping'an is still a scholar. He is lax in the imperial court and shameless. He even let a woman and a Taoist family stand out and order slaves to come to our Buddhist holy land to play wild and fight. Not to mention smashing the gate of the temple, but also smearing some obscenities on the temple wall and the main hall to insult our temple."
A deacon of Baiyun Temple sitting at the bottom said with righteous indignation.
"That is, Zhu Ping'an bullied others with his power and relied on his official authority to bully our powerless monks and insult our Buddha." Another deacon of Baiyun Temple was also indignant.
