Chapter 679: The Second Best Thing
Duke Anguo Fu Peng looked at Master Wuchen's calm face, thought for a moment, and decided to continue speaking...
"Master, Qingguo Temple is a quiet Buddhist place and should not be disturbed by worldly affairs.
Mr. Fu's family affairs should not be involved with the Foguo Zen Temple, especially when there is the possibility of bloodshed.
Fu was worried that it would affect the monks of Qingguo Temple.
Therefore, I came to meet Master Wuchen and tell him the details.
Fortunately, the guesthouse where Fu and his family lived was outside Qingguo Temple.
Mr. Fu would like to ask the master to arrange for the monks in the temple to keep the temple gates closed tonight and not be disturbed by any noise outside the temple.
I guess the target of the person coming tonight should be the moon.
Judging from the current situation... the person behind this has just begun to take tentative actions;
It is far from the time to be desperate and burn your boats;
It shouldn't be so cruel as to bring disaster to Qingguo Temple.
Speaking of which... His Royal Highness Prince Yu arranged for people to guard Qingguo Temple just to be prepared for any eventuality!"
Master Wuchen listened to what Anguogong Fu Peng said, smiled slightly and said: "Amitabha!
I already understand the donor's intention.
Qingguo Temple is located in Yunxiang Mountain and is not really far away from the secular world. Therefore, it is normal to be disturbed by some worldly affairs.
Besides, Qingguo Temple is blessed by Buddha and Bodhisattva, so donors do not need to worry about Qingguo Temple!"
At this point, Master Wuchen couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Alas!
Only those who have greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt are worldly people.
Just the word "greed" has brought trouble to so many people in this world!
The root of greed is that some people in the secular world always believe that they deserve more but don’t get it;
The problem is that this person does not truly know himself. Instead, he is too proud to think highly of himself and is unwilling to humbly admit his lack of wisdom.
In fact, the fact that the lives of people in this world are restricted in every way has already shown that human life is extremely limited;
Man’s income is also extremely limited;
It is impossible for a person to get everything he wants in his entire life!
Moreover, some things require sufficient natural affinity and virtue to possess——
If one's virtue does not match his position, even if he tries his best to pursue it, in the end it will be in vain!
However, some people find it difficult to let go of their obsessions and just pursue them recklessly. This is the evil consequence caused by the obsession in their hearts!
Don’t you know that one’s own obsession is often the misfortune and disaster of countless innocent people!
At the same time, his obsession also brought him endless karma!
Unfortunately, not everyone can do this in time! "
At this point, Master Wuchen seemed to have thought of something, and his kind face showed a light smile...
“Speaking of obsession, even Buddha couldn’t get rid of it—the purpose of Buddhist practice is to pursue perfect wisdom.
However, to reach the state of so-called perfect wisdom, one needs to practice, practice, and practice again...
Isn’t this also the result of attachment to the mental barrier? "
Duke Anguo and his son were sitting opposite Master Wuchen, and they listened to every word that Master Wuchen said.
The father and son looked at each other... As expected, Master Wuchen knew everything and understood everything!
When it comes down to it, isn’t it just that some people are just greedy and have an inextinguishable desire?
Just because his father had been a crown prince, he ignored the fact that there was already an emperor on the throne who had been appointed by heaven, and insisted that he was the one who was appointed by heaven!
With a foolish dream in mind, he secretly does some so-called secret things which he thinks are unknown to others.
Little did he know that he was just trying to cover up his own mistakes.
It is also because the current emperor is kind and still cares about the kindness of the late crown prince and the fact that he is the only blood of the late crown prince, and always treats him with leniency.
However, this person was ungrateful and insisted on having his own way.
As people grow up day by day and become adults now, their ambitions can no longer be suppressed!
It all depends on the princess he married into the palace after he came of age, as well as the two concubines and a group of concubines he took into the palace - there was the granddaughter of the current deputy prime minister, the legitimate daughter of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the concubine daughter of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the sister of the deputy commander of the Five Cities Military Department...
I heard that they are going to bring a concubine into the mansion soon, and that concubine's father is a captain in the city defense battalion!
Haha...should we say that this person is so hungry that he doesn't care what he eats?
Or is it that his appetite is too big?
I hope that in the end... he doesn't bite off more than he can chew!
If this person really has the talent of an emperor who can rule the world, and he cares about the people and has the world in his heart, it is understandable that he wants to realize his ambitions and compete for the throne!
But all he has is a lot of ambition!
To put it bluntly, he only wanted to enjoy the emperor's respect and did not want to bear the moral responsibilities of his country.
Strangely enough, there were indeed some equally ambitious court officials who were willing to associate with him, hoping to use his status as the orphan of the former crown prince to achieve something.
Come to think of it...
There are many people who want to rely on nepotism to climb up to the royal family in order to enhance their own and their family's power and status.
However, the Emperor only cared about the Empress and kept his promise to only marry one wife in his life!
No matter what methods the court officials used, the emperor remained stubborn.
Not only that, the Empress also gave birth to the Emperor's two most outstanding sons, which directly shut up those court officials who advised the Emperor to expand the royal family and fill the harem!
So many years have passed, and the current emperor’s harem... is basically impossible to get in!
Those who refused to give up waited for more than ten years, and finally the Crown Prince came of age.
But fate is so cruel!
My son Xiao’s father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply a carbon copy of the Emperor—he values love and not lust!
Apart from accompanying the Emperor in handling court affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spends his days accompanying the Crown Princess and doesn't touch any other women!
What about the Second Prince, Prince Yu? He is more like the moon in the sky or the crane in the clouds, so high and unattainable, so within reach but out of reach!
It is so difficult to target His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yu!
There is no other way, so those people can only settle for the next best thing.
His Royal Highness Prince Yi, the Emperor’s nephew and the son of the late Crown Prince!
If we must say that His Royal Highness Prince Yi is the legitimate heir to the throne...it's not impossible!
With the help of His Royal Highness Prince Yi, in the future... maybe... I could even be able to serve the emperor!
