Crazy criticizes the empress because she is bent on mistaking Buddhism

Chapter 6
When Huicheng returned to Jingxin Hall, it was already past lunch time.

It was quiet outside the hall.

It wasn't until he got closer that he vaguely heard the voice of the heavenly monk coming from the room.

It seems like... giving a lecture?
Huicheng was puzzled, knocked on the door gently, pushed the door open and walked in.

Several people in the room were not aware of his appearance at all, and their eyes were still focused on the heavenly monk who was giving a lecture.

Huicheng glanced around and found that the people listening to the monk's sermons were all the palace servants who had brought them meals these days.

It was probably because they were inspired when they saw the Heavenly Monk preaching to them earlier that they held today's gathering.

Huicheng was a little relieved.

After all, starting from today, he would have to chant sutras for His Majesty every day. Just now, he was worried that the monk would be lonely when he was away.

Although he knew that the Heavenly Monk had been practicing for many years, he had already regarded loneliness as his confidant.

But now it's better to have these palace people accompanying the Heavenly Monk on his behalf than to be alone.

Huicheng found a place to sit down, and listened to the celestial monk's lecture with the others.

Time passed by, and by the time everyone came back to their senses from the scriptures, the sky was already dark.

Huicheng was also intoxicated by what he heard. There was something he didn't understand and he was about to ask, only to find that the palace people had already preceded him and surrounded the Heavenly Monk.

The scene was exactly the same as at White Horse Temple.

Seeing this scene, Huicheng suddenly remembered that he had read about a wise saint recorded in a book.

It is said that before he became famous, he was respected and loved by the people because of his kindness.

He went to reclaim wasteland, and many people followed him and settled around him.

As more and more people follow, a village is formed.

Looking at today's heavenly monk, how can he not be the same as that saint?

Wherever he goes, people follow him.

Huicheng sighed softly, a little envious and a little melancholy.

...................................................

In the days after meeting in the study room, Xie Qingyun would summon Huicheng to chant sutras every day.

Every time we meet, Xie Qingyun is dressed in red, black, or bright yellow.

The plain clothes from that day were never seen again.

Every time Xie Qingyun was talking and laughing at Yanyan.

Huicheng thought that she didn't seem to be as violent and unpredictable as the rumors said.

On this day, I was summoned again to go to the Imperial Study Room to chant sutras.

Xie Qingyun was reviewing the memorial when Huicheng arrived.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was bothered by something.

Tian Sheng was waiting aside, his expression subtle, not as relaxed as usual.

Seeing Huicheng coming, Tian Sheng said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the eminent monk is here."

Xie Qingyun didn't seem to hear it, and still stared at a certain part of the memorial without blinking.

After a long time, he finally spoke.

There was a chill in his eyes: "It's the censor again...these officials will not give up until they see that there is no one around me to serve them."

Tian Sheng glanced at the fold, said "ouch", and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Shi was a military commander, but he is really not very clear-headed."

Xie Qingyun said lightly: "Really?"

"Then according to Eunuch Sheng, how should I deal with this person? Should I demote him, send him to another position, or kill him directly?"

Xie Qingyun seemed a little distressed, her expression was as relaxed and natural as if she was discussing what to eat today.

But it sent a chill down Huicheng's spine.Killing intent.

Even though he was a monk who had little contact with the world, he could feel the strong murderous intention.

Huicheng was shocked and stunned.

What had she experienced in the past could have caused such a strong murderous intent in the eyes of a girl who was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Tian Sheng seemed to have been used to it for a long time, so he carefully gave an answer: "Eunuch Run is the palm print. Since this book is aimed at him, why don't your majesty just hand it over..."

He was talking and suddenly stopped talking.

Because Xie Qingyun sneered: "I know Runliu's temper."

She looked at Tiansheng: "I also know Eunuch Sheng's temper."

"There is no need for you to bear this karma together with me."

Xie Qingyun threw the fold to the ground: "Kill the person, I want to see his head before Chen time."

After she finished speaking, Hui Cheng, who was finally waking up from a dream, finally reacted.

"His Majesty."

Huicheng knelt on the ground, his voice suddenly resounded in the silent imperial study.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Huicheng closed his eyes and mustered up his courage.

He finally understood that one of the officials spoke ill of Master Palm Print in the book, which offended Xie Qingyun.

According to the conversation between just now and Tian Sheng, Runliu is not a person who is always willing to spend money and money. If Xie Qingyun had not participated in this matter, it would have been a major matter turned into a trivial matter.

However, Xie Qingyun insisted on worrying about others.

Huicheng raised his head, and saw Eunuch Tiansheng shaking his head slightly at him.

But how can it be?
Huicheng ignored Tiansheng and still insisted on dissuading: "Your Majesty, all living beings' actions and thoughts are all karma and sins. Your Majesty, please think twice."

Xie Qingyun retorted: "What if good karma and bad karma are sins? The eminent monk only saw that it was a sin for me to kill someone, but he didn't see that if I ignored this matter, how many people would follow suit in the future and cause me more trouble!"

Xie Qingyun usually doesn't talk much, but she likes the monk in front of her so much lately that she doesn't care to talk to him more.

Huicheng knew very well that Xie Qingyun was indulging himself, but he was unwilling to give up when things got better. He continued: "The world is inherently clean, without increase or decrease, and everything has its own merits. In this case, why don't your Majesty just let nature take its course? , what if you listen to Eunuch Tiansheng and leave it to yourself to make the decision?"

Xie Qingyun shook her head: "Run Liu is my man, since right and wrong have been separated, what's wrong with me making the decision for him?"

Huicheng asked: "What is right? What is wrong?"

"The Tathagata lowered his arms and asked, "Is this arm upright or downturned?" The inferior said, "People in the world use this arm as downturned, but I don't know who is upright and who is downturned." The Tathagata said: If people in the world use this arm as downturned, what will be considered upright? "

"There is no such thing as right or wrong in the world. It's just the obsession of the human heart that creates right and wrong."

Huicheng's eyes were blazing: "But can Your Majesty really make it clear whether the obsession with right and wrong belongs to Eunuch Run or to Your Majesty?"

What he said was so bold that even Tian Sheng, who was used to such scenes, was sweating for him.

However, Xie Qingyun seemed to have discovered something interesting. She looked at Huicheng and suppressed her fierce murderous intention: "Okay, the eminent monk has convinced me."

She turned to Tian Sheng and said, "Go and give the fold to Runliu and ask him to make his own decision."

Tian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, regained his usual relaxed smile, and responded: "Old slave, I'll go now."

Xie Qingyun hummed and stood up from the desk, seeming a little tired: "I will review the papers tomorrow. Senior monk, please recite sutras for me first."

Huicheng said hello, calmed down, and prepared to chant sutras for Xie Qingyun as usual.

Xie Qingyun meditated on the ground as always.

Huicheng glanced over inadvertently, a little surprised.

Shicai was so nervous that he didn't even notice.

Xie Qingyun's clothes today are different from those in the past.

But it was plain clothes that he had never seen since the day they first met.
