Chapter 43 Temple

Xue Chongxun was really worried and often had to go against Princess Taiping. She wanted to get angry, but she couldn't really get angry every time. She was very entangled by him every time.

This time, Xue Chongxun clearly stated that he wanted to take revenge. While Taiping was angry, he felt that his son's heart was still on his own.

Taiping had no choice but to cruelly deprive him of his power, so he had to send someone to monitor him, especially Yu Zhong and other servants above the Xue Mansion, as well as the unknown woman Sanniang.

There are secret spies in Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and even the Censorate. Otherwise, it would be difficult to get real evidence when punishing others. All of these yamen were installed with people who were loyal to Princess Taiping, so they kept Xue Chongxun's confidant tightly, which was equivalent to tying his hands and feet.

Xue Chongxun also knew about this situation, but he didn't care. He had no intention of using assassination, because assassinating one or two people could not eradicate the Cui family's power.

This kind of thing cannot be resolved once it is blood-touched. The best way is to hit it with one blow and throw it into the eighteen levels of hell.

He remembered someone: Yuwen Xiao.

Yuwen Xiao is a man who is very secretive. He is a businessman and has entered the officialdom through official relations.

The status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty was as low as that of other dynasties, but there was no restriction on entering the officialdom. For example, the Empress Wu Zetian was born as a timber merchant family.

The Yuwen family was originally a tea businessman, but Yuwen Xiao did not do business before...

Only Xue Chongxun, Sanniang, Bai Qimei and others know about his background.

Now Yuwen Xiao is a military officer in Jingzhao Prefecture. Even if many people know about his daughter’s relationship with Xue Chongxun, they don’t expect him to be of use.

So Taiping did not count him within Xue Chongxun's sphere of influence.

Only Xue Chongxun knew that Yuwen Xiao was very quick to do dirty things.

He was not convenient to visit Yuwen's mansion; his subordinates were also monitored and were not convenient to send someone to find Yuwen Xiao directly.But there is another way to contact Yu Wen Ji without knowing it: have a tryst with Yu Wen Ji.

One day after he came out of the Daming Palace, he went straight to Qianfu Temple.This place is the old residence of Prince Zhang Huai at that time. The current emperor Li Shouli is the biological son of Prince Zhang Huai...

Every time Xue Chongxun comes here, he always remembers all the complicated past events since the Wu Ze Dynasty.Qianfu Temple seems to be a witness to the story.

There is always the sound of wooden fish in the spacious Buddhist temple, tuk tuk... monotonous and boring, but in the past, this place should be a place for banquets, and there should be various orchestral music from stringed orchestral music, and the beauties sing and dance here.

The vast sea can turn into mulberry fields, and singing and dancing can turn into the sound of wooden fish.

Xue Chongxun paid for a stick of incense, lit it in the incense burner inserted into the golden Buddha statue, and then bent down and worshiped for a few times.

These temples have land outside the city, and pilgrims sometimes have to pay for incense and oil, which can be maintained through these incomes, but they will still try to increase their income. For example, the incense and candles sold here are twice as expensive as those outside.

The donors would not think it was expensive and thought that the money was given to the Buddha...

Everything is based on economics. The Buddhist teachings do not tell believers how to survive, but monks can always think of ways.

After Xue Chongxun entered the scent, he looked around and saw that before Yuwen Ji had arrived, he walked out of the Buddhist temple and went to the corridor in the yard to wait.

Qianfu Temple cannot make people feel the quiet artistic conception, it has too many stories.Xue Chongxun's mood has not calmed down now, although it has the sound of wooden fish and the smell of cigarettes.

He suddenly remembered a story called "The Orphan of the Zhao Family". The Zhao family, a nobleman from Jin State, was framed and destroyed by a treacherous minister, and the result was that an orphan was left to take revenge...

Under the definition of revenge allowed by Confucian morality, justice was finally recovered.

Thinking of this, Xue Chongxun felt a little chilled. He was a little puzzled, how could he become the evil side?

The power of justice cannot be ignored sometimes, and Xue Chongxun feels very stressed.So he planned to do it, he would never leave the spark of revenge.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Yuwen Ji coming.She was dressed as a woman, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved top and trousers. When she saw Xue Chongxun, she complained: Why do you meet in the temple?

Xue Chongxun said in a low voice: We have memories here.

Yuwen Ji seemed to remember something, and hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ground. Her snow-white teeth gently bit her thick red lips. The two small movements made her look more and more delicate.

Xue Chongxun remained calm and coaxed her first, otherwise if she felt that Xue Chongxun had something to do, she would not look for her if she had nothing to do?

Maybe she won’t get things done if she gets angry and doesn’t get things done well, wouldn’t it be troublesome?

A lover and a subordinate are completely different. You can clearly order your subordinates to do what they want, but you cannot order your lover to do what they want. You can only make her willingly do it.

Yuwen Ji whispered: It’s good to meet here, so that we won’t be able to meet every time we meet...

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: If I don’t want that when I meet, you should be worried, right?

Yuwen Ji's eyes turned, she thought for a moment, and said angrily: Then you actually asked me to come here. Are you tired of me?

Xue Chongxun: ...

Yuwen Ji said unyieldingly: I've called it!

Xue Chongxun opened his mouth and found that he was not on the side. He was as embarrassed as the person in the fable who sold spears and shields. He had to say with a shameless face: Why don’t we try it in the temple?

Bad stuff!Yuwen Ji cursed in embarrassment.

Yuwen Ji often argues with him, but Xue Chongxun doesn't care, and after such a nonsense, he seems to have a better mood.

He was worried about Jincheng in his heart, but it did not prevent him from liking Yuwen Ji at the same time. It was good in ancient times, so he would not be condemned for being unfaithful, false and so on. A broad mind is the feeling that men should have.

Seeing that he was fooled, he laughed and said: There were some trivial matters in the court during this period. It happened that I came back early today, so I went to Qianfu Temple to get some money for indulgence and oil and asked for a seat in the dining room.This place always reminds me of you, so I asked you to come together, let's go to the room and talk.

Yuwen Ji pondered: I know that when the scientific examination is in place, the temple can rent a vegetarian room for the scholars to study quietly, but we are in the same room as men and women, do the monks allow us?

Xue Chongxun smiled and said: You don’t have to worry about these things. What’s the matter with us in broad daylight?I also gave them twenty coins of money, and for the sake of the rich silver of sesame oil, they would turn a blind eye.

After saying that, he took Yuwen Ji and walked north along the corridor for a short while, then opened a door. This was a room for incense to rest, tea and even eat.

Judging from this location, it should be a room when I didn’t have a temple before.

After entering the room, Xue Chongxun bolted the door with his backhand and touched the letter in his sleeve with one hand.Just then Yuwen Ji said in surprise: You don’t... really want to be here?

Xue Chongxun let go of the letter and said in a deep voice: Do you want to give it a try?

Yuwen Ji said embarrassedly: I'd better not to!Under the Buddha's nose, aren't you afraid of retribution?She said as she looked at the corner.

Xue Chongxun turned around and followed her gaze and saw a mud statue of the Queen Mother. He immediately glared: I wondered, how did Queen Mother come to the Buddhist temple?

Yuwen Ji said seriously: The Tathagata lives in the West, and the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother’s family live in the East, and the gods and immortals will also communicate with each other.

Xue Chongxun said: When will Queen Mother and Jade Emperor become a family?

Yuwen Ji said a little angry: I said they are one by one!

It makes sense... Xue Chongxun nodded and said, "You see, gods can love each other, it doesn't matter if we have a good time, right?"

Yuwen Ji frowned and thought for a long time and said: No!Gods cannot have seven emotions and six desires. Do you know the story of the Seven Fairies and Dong Yong? Didn’t they be punished by God and finally be broken up?

Xue Chongxun said: That's because gods and mortals cannot intermarry, just as humans cannot intermarry with chickens, ducks, and geese.

Yuwen Ji said coquettishly: You will mess around. I won’t tell you. In short, no, people should have a sense of awe towards God.

Xue Chongxun asked calmly: God does not allow the Seven Fairies to like Dong Yong. Should the Seven Fairies give up their feelings?

Yu Wenji was a little moved after hearing this. When she raised her head, she was filled with emotion, which made Xue Chongxun's heart move.

At this time, she heard her say sadly: But weren’t they separated in the end?

Somehow, Xue Chongxun remembered Jincheng again. The court system did not allow him to obtain Jincheng. Will they also end up failing like the Seven Fairies descended to earth?

A god cannot defeat the heaven, and it is difficult for a person to defeat the country...

A burst of anger arose in Xue Chongxun's heart. He held Yu Wen Ji in his arms, looked into her eyes and said: God's punishment, retribution, I'm not afraid, I want to learn from Sun Wukong and destroy that heavenly court!

Yuwen Ji said in confusion: Who is Sun Wukong?

Journey to the West... Xue Chongxun suddenly thought of the story of Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures in Journey to the West. He said, "You have never heard of that story, I will tell you another day."

Yuwen Ji said: I want to listen now, let’s sit down, tell me.

Xue Chongxun said: How about we do something else now?

I am afraid... If there are really gods, there will be no good result for us to blaspheme the gods like this.

Yuwen Ji looked at him with a pleading look.

After coming over for a moment, she suddenly hugged Xue Chongxun's waist gently and murmured: I'm afraid I'll be pulled apart by retribution.

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun felt soft and gave up the idea of ​​indulgence, sat down next to the wooden table, picked up the teapot, poured two glasses of water, cleared his throat and told the story.

He couldn't remember the plot of the original work clearly. The content mainly comes from several TV series that changed the original work beyond recognition. Then he himself made up his own tricks, focusing on the trouble of the Heavenly Palace, and then insisted that Sun Wukong liked the White Bone Spirit...

While Yuwen Ji was so enchanting, he took out the letter and put it in her arms and said in a casual tone: By the way, I suddenly remembered something, I don’t have to go to your house for this to your father.
