Chapter 313: Great Grace and Great Virtue

Zhu Zhu was thoughtful at this point.

He thought about it for half a day.

This half day, also lost Ha are extraordinarily careful, because also lost Ha know very well, his majesty this kind of uncertainty of joy and anger, once into the contemplation, there must be something big difficult to choose.

Therefore, he had to tiptoe around pouring tea and handing out water in a careful manner.

Until midday, Zhu suddenly said, “also lost ha ……”

“The slave girl is in.” Also lost the haze.

“Do you think this man Zhang Anshi is bold or timid?”

“Ah ……,” Yiluoha froze, staring at Zhu in disbelief.

Is this what His Majesty has been pondering for half a day?

Only to see Zhu Di faintly said, “He is indeed timid on weekdays, but the day before yesterday, I ordered him to escort the imperial grandson to Beiping, but he was suddenly willing to stay, it’s really strange.”

Yizhuoha took a deep breath.

In fact, to be a slave girl, the most important thing …… you should know is to observe the words and colors.

Based on Yiluoha’s habit of serving Zhu Di for many years, he did not think that Zhu Di was asking this question to solicit his opinion.

His Majesty is the King of the Nine and Five, and this kingdom can be said to have been fought down by him with a single stroke of the sword, so how could such a person be so completely clueless about how things should be viewed that he came to ask him, a slave girl?

Then ruling out all possibilities, there can only be one truth.

That is, His Majesty already has an answer in his heart, but he is a bit uncertain and wants him, a bystander, to verify it.

So also lost ha fixed the spirit, only said: “your majesty, slave girl heard that there is a kind of people, has always been as precious as gold, because he knows, because of some things and take his own life, this is really not guilty. But precisely this kind of person, he will think that there are some things, the relationship is important, as the so-called gentleman has to do something not to do, so they will be hard to rush forward, refused to retreat half a step.”

Also lost ha continued: “think …… is this capital, there is His Majesty in, there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in, Wei Guo Gong he does not shed to go to Beiping to hide it. His Majesty to Wei Guo Gong so much love, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, more such as Wei Guo Gong’s parents, if it is replaced by a slave girl, slave girl if Wei Guo Gong, also want to stay.”

Yizhuoha said, and a deathly silence fell over this hall.

Yilostha was actually a little nervous in his mind, he wasn’t sure if he had answered the right answer or not.

But the fact that His Majesty did not respond made his heart grow more and more worried, in addition to being nervous.

A good long time ……

Just as Yiluoha’s heart grew apprehensive, there came the sound of Zhu’s laughter.

Zhu Di laughed: “You this slave girl, now come to say cheap words, not life and death, say these you are Zhang Anshi, then how how words, there is what use?”

Yiluoha breathed a sigh of relief, and he had a vague feeling that he had answered correctly.

So he then busily slapped his own mouth, while saying, “Slave girl should be damned, really delusional, all day long thinking of inviting credit.”

Zhu Di stood up and said, “What you say is not unreasonable.”

And then, there is nothing to say, but turned the conversation: “Grasp, give me to keep an eye on this plague thing, although has found a way to prevent the disease, but now it is important, but just in case.”

Yiluoha said seriously, “The slave girl has long instructed the General Secretary, as long as the matter involves the plague, it will be reported at any time, whether it is day or night.”

“Uh-huh.” Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

But he was wondering in his mind, what is the horse lamp …… again?

……………

In the counties of Taipingfu, all the work was carried out very quickly, almost all the garbage had been cleared, and places were sought and buried, and medicinal herbs were distributed to every household, and the doctors, who had been organized, were ready at all times.

Zhang Anshi was even worried about the lack of manpower and provisions on the Yingtian Province side.

After all, cope with the House is a densely populated area, once out of the open, is not a joke.

So let Gao Xiang personally lead a group of officers, and raise a batch of food and silver, to Yingtianfu rescue.

Yingtianfu governor Liu Wei was shocked, in fact, his impression of Zhang Anshi is not good, and even reported the situation of the plague, but also want to borrow the city about the rumors of celestial induction, connotation of Zhang Anshi one or two.

He never expected that at this time, Zhang Anshi would send money, food and manpower support just when Yingtianfu was at its most anxious.

At first he thought that Zhang Anshi this must be holding what attempts, after all, it does not make sense, Zhang Anshi this guy …… actually has such good intentions.

Readers are always on the defensive about fortunate sycophants, thinking that these people are naturally great deficiencies.

As in the case of Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty, even though he fought against the Xiong Nu and kept a low profile, even if he was assassinated, he would never take the assassin into account, and he struck hard at the external enemy, but he was obsequious to his courtiers.

Prudence to such an extent is still among the fortunate sycophants.

And Zhang Anshi is obviously compared to Wei Qing is far worse, although there is also a lot of credit, but this guy does not have Wei Qing’s good temper.

Just when this Liu Wei doubted whether the head here is a trick, but learned that the original South Zhili provinces, Taiping Province are sent to the police, but also according to the situation of the population gathered, sent some money and food.

It doesn’t make sense that people would want to victimize the governors of the entire Southern Zhili, does it?

In fact, at this time Liu Wei has long been burnt out, Zhang Anshi that guy’s prevention strategy, said easily, but still have to use a lot of human and material resources.

Not to mention the other, alone so much garbage, as well as the recruitment of a large number of doctors, but also to open up a place dedicated to the rescue of the sick, the cost of the head here, is enough to make Liu Wei difficult to raise.

After all, the government’s income and expenditure is roughly balanced, suddenly more than an urgent additions, short time to raise, obviously very difficult.

Now, well, with the help of the competent officials drawn from the Taiping Province, it is a great help.

It’s a blessing in disguise!

Liu Wei thought of how he hadn’t scolded Zhang Anshi in his mind before, and at this time, he couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed.

At that moment, he pulled Gao Xiang and thanked him, “Young Yin Gao, it is thanks to you that Yingtianfu was able to tide over the difficulties this time.”

Gao Xiang just smiled, although he was tired, but following the Duke of Wei to do things, there is just something to look forward to, and it is extremely fulfilling.

So he said: “This is the right thing to do, watch out for each other. The Duke of Wei specially explained, Taiping Province and Yingtian Province living next door to each other, this is the same gas even branch, should help each other.”

Liu Wei was speechless for a moment, couldn’t help but have slightly red eyes, sighed, then said, “Shame, shame, ah, hey ……”

He said it all as if he meant it, and didn’t say anything about being ashamed of anything, perhaps out of distress, or out of guilt for having tried to fall on his sword earlier.

Then shaking his spirit, he turned and said, “It’s useless to talk much now, it’s important to cure this bubonic plague.”

He relaxed in his heart, now is a life and death situation, if this plague is not cured, is to die a lot of people, and may even be even his own, also want to ride up.

Not to mention that this Yingtianfu’s dignitaries, countless, once something happens, he this prefect is definitely to blame, then the king of heaven can not save.

In the meantime.

Ningguo Mansion.

A group of men led by Li Tuimo was stopped.

Lee pushed the mill back in disgust, in fact, when stopped, he did not say much, turned around and left.

On the contrary, in the Ningguo Mansion, learned that Li Tuimo and other people crossing the border, even by the local magistrate directly driven away, Jianyi read the zhang report, immediately showed a color of displeasure.

“Hmph, it’s his turn to take matters into his own hands?”

Wu Huan, as a shogun friend, is a long time ago to read the sangha.

When he saw Jian Yi was furious, he smiled and said, “Jian Gong, it is not that this Li magistrate has made his own decision, it is …… really a last resort.”

Jianyi: “……”

Wu Huan said: “Jian Gong think about it, that Wei Guo Gong sent people around, and send money and food to the various governments, this is not clearly want to tell the world, he Taipingfu can not only save themselves, but also save people? Now the whole world is looking at the Taiping and Ningguo Fu, Wei Guo Gong but all around to buy people’s hearts, this purpose is already self-evident. Jian Gong ah …… Taipingfu and Ningguofu, is not Jian Gong and Wei Guo Gong’s battle of wills, Jian Gong, this success or failure, is the survival of the famous religion ah.”

When Jian Yi heard this, he suddenly showed a pained look.

The Survival of Famous Religions.

Yes ……

If he opposed Zhang Anshi in the first place, it only stemmed from his own position.

He was an orthodox scholar by birth and regarded the famous religion as his life in general.

But now he realized that …… nowadays, it is not his life alone.

Rather, millions of people, all focusing their eyes on their own, countless readers, the world’s gentry, everyone is pushing him.

Sometimes he felt as if he was being pushed forward, even if sometimes he didn’t want to, or at least he didn’t think that it should be done in such a means and manner.

But now, he vaguely felt that as prestigious as he Jianyi, he seemed to have become a pawn.

The pieces are set and may not be reversed!

Jian Yi said, “What about the people? What should be done if the plague comes?”

“The bubonic plague was found in Yingtianfu, it probably won’t spread to Ningguofu.” Wu Huan said with a calm face.

Jian Yi frowned, “Don’t you make preparations beforehand? Prevention is better than cure?”

“As long as the Enfu gives the order, who in the entire household will not be eager to serve the Enfu?”

Jian Yi said, “What about money and food?”

“Raise as much as you can, there’s always a way.”

Jianyi said, “Good, levy one hundred thousand stones of grain, seventy thousand taels of silver, four thousand strong men, and three hundred medical households on call.”

“This ……” Wu Huan looked hesitant.

“What?”

Wu Huan said with difficulty, “Some days ago, people enthusiastically offered grain, and it was already going to be impossible to uncover.”

Jian Yi said coldly, “This is your way of turning away the good intentions of the Duke of Wei.”

“En House ……”

“By now, you guys are making things difficult?” Jian Yi lost some of his patience, “Is this what you call defending the Famous Sect? Isn’t the survival of the Famous Sect at stake?”

Wu Huan said, “Why did Enfu …… say this?”

“Humph.” Jianyi also knew that it was useless to speak, and at this point, he could only snort coldly.

Wu Huan silently stood on the side of the speechless, slowed down, see Jian Yi gradually calm and peaceful, then said, “Enfu …… rest, to now, why say angry words? Hey, students try their best to do is.”

Jian Yi also felt that his words just said some overweight, then said: “difficult for you. In this way, please all the township sages and squires to the house, the old man personally talk to them, they are all people who know the righteousness of the people, I think …… can also sympathize with the difficulties of the government.”

Wu Huan said, “What Enfu said is very true, the student will go and make contact.”

Wu Huan said, sprinting away.

Jianyi stood up, rose, and held his hands behind his back; he had a preoccupied look on his face and felt a little breathless.

But …… thinking of the Taiping House, he could not help but begin to give himself atmosphere.

At least, he believes he’s right ……

…………

Zhang Anshi dragged his tired steps and finally went back to his house.

These days, for the sake of the bubonic plague, he is almost non-stop, running around, the matter of the government, because Gaoxiang all the officials have gone to help in the various provinces, and finally pressed on Zhang Anshi’s body.

Zhang Anshi realized how difficult those trivial matters were, and it was not easy for him to clean up the matters at hand, and he also finally had the time to go home to visit.

After all, he did miss Xu Jingyi and his son a bit after not going back these days.

Moreover, this time is also a special period, although the family did not come from the bad disappearance, his heart actually can not help but still some worry.

When I returned home, I saw that the people up and down the house, who had also answered the call, were cleaning it over and over again.

This makes Zhang Anshi put down his heart, this kind of thing, the most important thing is that everyone is willing to believe, willing to cooperate, people are all afraid of life, now there is a solution, the government alone is still not enough, but also need to be unusual people, spontaneous cleanup of their own homes.

Making sure that his wife and son were all well, he was really tired, so he went back to his bedchamber and fell asleep.

When he woke up, still sleepy, he saw that beside his pillow, a small person was sitting on the side, with dark eyes, looking at him without blinking.

Once he saw Zhang Anshi open his eyes, he grinned and reached out his small hand, touching Zhang Anshi’s face.

When Zhang Anshi saw that he seemed to be about to fall to the east, he couldn’t care less about his fatigue and hurriedly rolled over to support him.

Standing at the head of the bed, was Xu Jingyi, Xu Jingyi said, “I didn’t want to disturb you, but Changsheng always cries, but when I put him here with you, he behaved himself.”

Zhang Anshi said, “That’s so.”

While saying this, he touched Zhang Changsheng’s young and tender little hand.

Xu Jingyi looked at her son and smiled gently, “He likes you.”

“No.” Zhang Anshi scrutinized Zhang Changsheng and said, “He is afraid of me.”

“Where’s the fear of you and smiling like that.”

Zhang Anshi said, “My own seed, would I not know? It is because of fear that he wants to be happy. The instinct to survive is engraved in one’s bones, he must be afraid that I am scared to death, that’s why.”

Xu Jingyi was furious and amused, and couldn’t help but say, “Being a father, where is the one who thinks of his own child in this way? Rather, it’s as if this child was picked up.”

Zhang Anshi said smugly, “You don’t understand this, do you? It’s because he’s his own that he knows his depths.”

Zhang Anshi got up and washed up, ate some more food, and recovered some of his energy, so he held Zhang Changsheng and walked around the courtyard.

Seeing that the sun is already three poles, they will hand their son back to his wife, explaining that his wife is at home to take care of the fetus, and then hurriedly went to Qixia on duty.

Who would have thought that at this time, Yao Guangxiao was actually waiting for him here for a long time.

When Zhang Anshi saw Yao Guangxiao, he was a little frightened, “Master Yao, what’s wrong with you?”

Yao Guangxiao sighed and said, “Greed is guilty.”

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Anshi and said nothing.

Zhang Anshi said, “Master Yao, you must hold yourself! How can you fix the Dharma if your six roots are not pure?”

Yao Guangxiao revealed a look of disappointment, but he regained his spirit and smiled faintly, “Just joking with you, this time I came, there is something.”

Zhang Anshi didn’t feel relaxed at all and busily said, “Please also enlighten me.”

Yao Guangxiao is serious: “Last time I heard you say that what kerosene lamp, very magical, poor monk would like to wait for the plague past, the chicken temple can be held at night a puja, it is best to choose in the rain, will be this lamp hanging on the pole, ordinary people in the lower part of the head to see not very clear, but also do not know the cause of this lamp, you say … … …”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but cry and laugh as he said, “Lord Yao, you are now pondering this on a daily basis?”

Yao Guangxiao said with a straight face, “Other things, poor monks don’t dare to ponder.”

Zhang Anshi then smiled and said, “This is also true, just …… wait for the future kerosene lamps after the popularization of the popularity of the future, everyone will poke and prod the tricks of the chicken temple.”

“That is the later thing, this time, the other time. The poor monk more and more feel, you those things drumming more and more, in the future, the more the buddhist law to decline, sooner or later the great cause of Buddha, to lose in your hands.”

“What kind of words are these?” Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t put everything on my head.”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: ”Poor monk’s prediction is always not wrong. The people of other places, poor monks do not know, but the people of Daming, poor monks still do not know? They come to pray to God and Buddha only when they have difficulties, and when there are fewer difficulties and no calamities, sooner or later, they will starve all the Buddhas to death.”

Zhang Anshi cried and laughed again, “It’s impossible to say, so let’s not count on what will happen thousands of years from now.”

Yao Guangxiao, however, still not forgetting the purpose of his visit, said, “That lamp, do you give it?”

Zhang Anshi is also bold, without a little hesitation, “Give give give, when made a hundred will send you, then you make a mystery, people beat the door, don’t confess me.”

Yao Guangxiao’s face eased a bit, but he coldly said, “After finishing these, poor monk has to make a trip to Ningfu.”

“Hm?” Zhang Anshi was surprised, “What’s the point of going there?”

“Trying to accumulate a bit of yin virtue.” Yao Guangxiao’s expression became grave as he said, “This time it’s not a joke, the poor monk has a premonition that something might happen to Ningfu.”

Zhang Anshi frowned, “Not to mention the fact that there is Lord Jian there, it can’t be any worse.”

Yao Guangxiao shook his head, “You still don’t know how sinister the human heart is, when people are bad, they can really eat people.”

Zhang Anshi said, “If that’s the case, then why are you still going?”

Yao Guangxiao looked deeply at Zhang Anshi before he said, “The poor monk said that he really wanted to go and accumulate some merit, hey ……”

Said, he had stood up, showing a complex look, then, actually reached out his hand, pinched Zhang Anshi’s face: “Wei Guo Gong ah Wei Guo Gong …… this road, you go on well.”

Zhang Anshi looked incredulous and wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, Yao Guangxiao said, “Amitabha Buddha, Amitabha Buddha. Remember the relics, remember the stupa.”

Saying that, without waiting for Zhang Anshi’s reaction, he gave it a flourish and walked away in a slow pace.

Zhang Anshi: “……”

Communicate with some people, is indeed a painful experience, such as Yao Guangxiao, gives a …… This guy has a hundred heart eyes in general, you can never guess his words, in the end what is the meaning.

Just when you think he’s greedy, he suddenly seems to have a righteous spirit.

But you think he’s got some monk in him, and he turns his head and makes you want to strangle him.

“What an eccentric monk.” Zhang Anshi sighed.

In the rush of January, the situation in Taipingfu had gradually stabilized.

There were occasional sick people, but…because of the quick quarantine and careful treatment, and because the plague couldn’t spread fast enough, people gradually stopped taking it seriously.

But even so, more than a hundred people died, and the worst remained Yingtianfu, with more than three hundred dead.

But it was the best that could be done.

It seemed that all at once …… the world was at peace again.

At dawn in the Jixing Temple, Yao Guangxiao changed into a patchy monk’s robe and led an old monk, who was carrying a worn-out bundle on his back, to follow him, walking slowly.

On weekdays, the little sanyasi who took care of Yao Guangxiao with him hurriedly caught up with him, “Master, where are you going?”

Yao Guangxiao turned back, facing the dawn light, he revealed a rare smile and said, “Go to hell.”

Shamai couldn’t understand, but he knew that the monk’s clothes lined with silk material that Yao Guangxiao wore on weekdays were all folded up and rested in his own hermetic room.

This time, however, he came down from the mountain wearing only a tattered monk’s garment.

Shayi said, “Master, I’ll go with you, wait for me, I’ll clean up …….”

“No need.” Yao Guangxiao turned back, reached out and touched the little Shayi’s light brain, the look looked unusually gentle, said, “You ah, be obedient, be good, and …… me that key, you do not arbitrarily hand over to other people, only wait until the palace came to the people, you send the key on, that key in the box …… is the poor monk’s life, know it?”

“Master, how come you didn’t bring me along today.” The little Shamans were a little hard to bear, and their eyes were tearful and about to cry.

Yao Guangxiao said, “Because you are too young, you will have to recite the scriptures for the rest of your life in the future. You obediently listen to the words of the masters and uncles, and by the way, don t trust your masters and uncles as much as you want, don …… t trust anyone in this world, you recite your own scriptures, do your own things, and cultivate your own Buddha.”

The little shaman wiped his tears as he said, “Does Master not want me anymore?”

Yao Guangxiao revealed a smile, a calm smile, and continued in a warm voice, “No more crying, be good.”

The little sanyasin wanted to say something.

Yao Guangxiao, however, turned back, and with that, walked faithfully in the direction of Chaoyangxia.

He walked calmly, and the old monk at his back, wearing a bucket hat and carrying a tattered bundle, followed in his footsteps.

The little Shamans stood frozen in place, looking at this master who had raised him for five years, the back of which was getting farther and farther away until it disappeared.

He was confused and a little suspicious, and always felt as if …… something was going to happen.

Finally, he blurted out, “Master, when will you be back?”

Yao Guangxiao’s voice faintly seemed to come from the sky: “I am there day after day, in your heart. Cry your ass off and go back to chanting.”
