Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 493 A Crazy Move
Hongzhi's mood at this time can no longer be described as simple anger. He has never seen such a shameless person since he was a child, and he is also a high-ranking court official.

In the past, people always said that eunuchs are so hateful, but now he has experienced it personally. Let me ask a person who dares to care about monastery money, what else can he not do?

At the beginning, Hongzhi thought it was the officers and soldiers acting in private, but after being kept in the dark by Ye Xun for an afternoon, he finally realized that all of this was actually done at the behest of Ye Xun, otherwise how could the officers and soldiers be so bold?

The great monk was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner, he was full of gas.

As soon as he saw Ye Xun coming in, he stood up with a sullen face and asked, "Can my father-in-law explain this to me?"

Ye Xun seemed to be meeting Hongzhi for the first time, looked him up and down, and said calmly, "Master, are you talking to me?"

"Uh!"

Hongzhi obviously didn't expect Ye Xun to have such an attitude, and he almost couldn't bear his anger when Ye Xun asked him a rhetorical question.

Reluctantly suppressing the anger in his heart, he said, "Does father-in-law know about the theft of property from my Zhaojue temple?"

"Is there such a thing? But the master came to me because of this matter, I'm afraid I went to the wrong place? You should go to the local government, but since you have found me, I can't just ignore it, how about it! You make a list, and I will send a post to the new governor of Sichuan, asking him to send someone to solve the case."

When Ye Xun said such nonsense, he didn't even blink his eyes, as if it was true.

Hongzhi tried his best to control the old blood that was about to spurt out, and said in a deep voice: "This matter was done by the father-in-law's subordinates. How can the father-in-law say that he doesn't know? What the father-in-law did is really disrespectful to my Buddha. Please also ask the father-in-law Get lost early"

Before Hongzhi finished speaking, Ye Xun's face turned cold.

"Master, you must tell evidence in everything. I respect you as a senior monk, so I treat you so courteously. If you continue to spray people with blood like this, I will have to see you off."

"you"

Hongzhi was trembling with anger, isn't this a rascal!With such a person, you can't justify it.

"A monk should be pure-minded, but he can care so much about those adumbs. I am also doubting whether you are a monk or not? The Buddha said that Purdue is life-long. Have you eminent monks ever done something for the country and the people? useful thing?"

"Okay, master, please go back! The guild sent someone to investigate this case, come and see off!"

After Ye Xun finished speaking, he ignored the stunned Hongzhi, turned around and left. If the old monk is still stubborn, he can stay as long as he wants!Anyway, he won't talk to this great monk anymore.

Ye Xun obviously underestimated the great monk. After returning home, Hongzhi felt ashamed of his ancestors, and after much deliberation, he finally made a crazy decision.

In the early morning of the next day, living Buddhas and eminent monks from all walks of life, including Ye Xun, received invitations from Hongzhi, inviting them to watch the miracles in front of Zhaojue Temple at noon.

Ye Xun didn't want to go at first, he was about to enter Tibet soon, and countless things were waiting for him, so he had time to talk to the monks.

But soon Sun Dong sent someone to report that Hongzhi built a high platform in front of the temple gate, surrounded by piles of firewood, and Hongzhi sat in the middle of the platform, looking like he was about to set himself on fire.

Hearing this news, Ye Xun couldn't help being furious. This group of monks who don't work hard and don't distinguish grains, have told them so much, and don't learn from it, don't say it. They still want to use this method to coerce him, thinking that Does this allow me to compromise?
No time to think about it, he took a few guards with him when he went out, and rode his horse straight to Zhaojue Temple.

Ye Xun doesn't believe in Buddhism, which doesn't mean others don't either. After receiving the news that Hongzhi was about to set fire to himself, countless pilgrims and laymen flocked to Zhaojue Temple.

In Ye Xun's mind, it's okay to have beliefs, but beliefs that have changed their taste are not worth advocating.

But the common people don’t think so. Donating money and materials to the temple is voluntary and a manifestation of sincerity, and presiding over the abbot is equivalent to the incarnation of the Buddha, and disrespecting them is disrespecting the Buddha.

Unknowingly, derogatory nicknames such as Ye Xun's Sao Ba Xing and Tian Sha Xing spread among the people in Chengdu, and soon spread across the north and south of the river like the wind. Ye Xun completely stood on the opposite side of the Zhongtu Temple.

When Ye Xun arrived outside Zhaojue Temple, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the temple, and monks in yellow cassocks and red lama robes kept persuading the surroundings.

In addition to firewood, monks from Zhaojue Temple were also sitting around the high platform, guarding the high platform firmly in the middle, so that those who wanted to persuade them could not approach the high platform at all.

"Brother Hongzhi, why are you bothering? Is there anything you can't say well!"

"Yes, master, you come down first, let's talk slowly if you have anything to say."
There were voices of persuasion one after another, but Hongzhi sat on the stage as if he had never heard of it. Judging by his solemn appearance, he really looked like an eminent monk.

"Eunuch Ye is here!"

With a loud shout, the noisy voices around him immediately subsided, and the crowd in front of Ye Xun automatically separated into a passage.

Ye Xun's face sank like water, but he didn't even get off the horse. He urged the horse to move forward slowly, and soon came to the high platform.

Hongzhi was obviously waiting for Ye Xun. After hearing the voice, he finally opened his eyes, looked at Ye Xun in the audience with a slight smile, and said slowly: "My father-in-law's words yesterday, like the morning bell and the evening drum, made me suddenly understand, but there are some things. It’s not that the old monk can change, and it’s not that the father-in-law can change. The old monk’s actions today are definitely not threatening the father-in-law. It’s just that he felt ashamed of his predecessor, so he did it as a last resort. Please forgive me.”

Ye Xun didn't expect Hongzhi to say that, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood what Hongzhi was thinking. The great monk was obviously setting him on fire!
He smiled lightly and said, "Is it true that now that I have recovered the lost belongings from your temple, Master will not have to set himself on fire?"

"The monks are all empty, so what property do they have? I just hope that the father-in-law will treat the monks kindly in the future, and don't do the act of destroying the Buddha, or sooner or later they will fall into the Avici Hell. Come, light the fire!"

Hongzhi was very determined to die, not only was firewood covered around the high platform, even he himself was covered with kerosene. If you don't die, don't you want to make the world laugh?
In fact, with Ye Xun's skill, it is entirely possible to rescue Hongzhi before Hongzhi shouted to light the fire, but Ye Xun did not move after all.

It wasn't that Ye Xun hated Hongzhi so much, but a kind of fulfillment. Instead of sneaking around to seek death after being rescued, it's better to fulfill him now, at least he left an image of mighty and unyielding to the believers.

The fire quickly engulfed the high platform, and the monks around clasped their palms together and poured out sutras for salvation.

Many believers around knelt down on the ground, and the sound of sobbing and crying soon became a crowd.

Among the crowd, only Ye Xun rode on horseback like a chicken standing out from the crowd, looking at Hongzhi who was gradually disappearing into the fire with a blank expression, neither happy nor sad in his heart.
