Mu Tingxue persuaded Zen Master Fayuan, who had a high level of spiritual practice and was quite famous among eminent monks, to return to secular life, and soon the news spread throughout the restaurants, streets and major temples in Yundu.

People at that time were amazed.

When the monks mentioned the eldest princess, they all frowned.

The late emperor worshiped Buddhism and was blessed by Buddhism; the daughter of the late emperor suppressed Buddhism and not only laid off the two hundred monks and officials on temporary posts, but also stopped several royal temples on the grounds that "the expenses for Buddhist services were very high and Taicang, the household department, had no money to finance them." The renovation of the dojo has caused the eminent monk to return to secular life. He is simply a witch who has done great harm to Buddhism.

Abbot Guangjin, the abbot of the first royal temple, Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple, was deeply dissatisfied with this.

Speaking of Abbot Guangjin, his influence among the people is extremely frightening. He is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also has extremely high literary talent.

He opened forums to lecture on sutras and save sentient beings, and had countless believers. He would be invited to all Dharma gatherings, sutra lectures, and poetry gatherings. As long as he showed up, he would definitely cause a sensation and attract people from all over the world to come and worship.

A hundred calls.

The spiritual idol of all people in the world does not have the name of "National Preceptor", but he has the actual status of "National Preceptor"!

When the late emperor was still alive, he would invite him to the palace every now and then to listen to his sermons. The late emperor even found a substitute to become a monk for him at the Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple. Abbot Guangjin also accepted the substitute as his direct disciple, so in name, he He became the late emperor's master.

Abbot Guangjin believed that the Queen Mother Yan and Yan Yang murdered the late emperor. As long as Yan party officials appeared at his Dharma meetings, they would be ostracized and scolded by him. He even openly embarrassed the Queen Mother at a state banquet.

Except one person.

The only member of the Yan family that Abbot Guangjin was not hostile to was Cui Ming, the wife of the Ming Kingdom, who often came to Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple to give alms and money for scented oil.

The mother of the regent Yan Yang, the sister-in-law of the Queen Mother, and Mrs. Wu'an.

It may be that this Mingguo lady gave too much and was extremely pious. Abbot Guangjin treated her kindly and leniently, and did not transfer his hatred towards the regent to her.

Mrs. Mingguo lives in Wu'an Palace, which is the ancestral home of the Yan family.

does not live in the Regent's Palace.

First, she has a quiet personality, and there is an endless stream of Yan Party officials visiting the Prince Regent's Mansion all day long, which is a bit noisy, and she doesn't like it; second, she misses her late husband, and the traces left by her late husband are everywhere in the old mansion of Wu'an Palace. , she really couldn’t bear to move away.

In addition, her son Yan Yang never married, and Mrs. Mingguo felt that if she lived with her son, she would hinder him even more.Like most noble ladies, she had troubles in her heart, so she went to burn incense and worship Buddha to seek blessings from Bodhisattvas.

At the beginning, Cui Ming came to pay homage: "Please protect me from Bodhisattva and let my son Yan Yang get married as soon as possible and marry a virtuous lady."

A few years later, Cui Ming was helpless: "I hope the Bodhisattva will show mercy and let my son marry a daughter-in-law from IKEA and Ishi as soon as possible."

A few years later, Cui Ming begged: "Bodhisattva, please help him marry a daughter-in-law, as long as she is a woman!"

The Bodhisattva finally answered her decades-long prayers.

The Queen Mother's decree of marriage has arrived!

"My son Shangzhu, the Bodhisattva appears!"

Mrs. Mingguo cried with joy. Her son finally no longer had to be a bachelor and was engaged to the most noble eldest princess in the world. This marriage was actually discussed privately by the elders of both parties 16 years ago. However, the eldest princess disappeared and had to be abandoned. Now it is not possible. Consider it complete.

She would go to the Regent's Mansion to visit her grandson Yan Ze on the first and fifteenth day of every lunar month.

Now someone told her that Ze'er had a twin brother, and she was happy to mention a grandson. This was the smoke coming from the ancestral grave of the old Yan family!

Happy events came one after another, and Mrs. Mingguo was so beautiful that she felt like walking with wind in her eyes. She decided to go to the Bodhisattva to fulfill her wish.

Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple.

As the first temple of the royal family, it covers an extremely vast area and is as gorgeous as the royal palace.

There are carved beams and painted buildings, stone steps built with jade, and cornices painted with gold.

Mrs. Mingguo is already 59 years old, with gray hair on her temples. There is a big age gap between her two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter Yan Lan is 39 years old, the second daughter Yan Yun is 35 years old, and the son Yan Yang is 29 years old.

She is a well-spoken old lady, quiet and gentle, and doesn't mind much.

When Old Wu An was still alive, her husband doted on her; after Old Wu An passed away, her son was extremely strong and capable, and her two daughters were also smart and powerful, so she didn't need to worry about anything.

Most of the children of strong parents are weak, but in Cui Ming's case, it's completely the opposite. She and her late husband are relatively gentle, but the three children grow up as they please, but each one is more powerful and domineering than the other.

Yan Lan was in charge of the Cui family and could call the shots, Yan Yun was in charge of the Qin family and no one dared to disobey him. Yan Yangbing was the regent of the country and the world worshiped him.

Mrs. Mingguo was thinking about her three children and walked to the merit box of Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple. She usually donated 5000 taels, but today she was particularly happy and donated 1 taels.

She has no idea about money.

They were all given to her by her sons and daughters.

She comes from the direct line of the Cui family, and the Cui family is an ancient and wealthy family that has stood for 700 years and has gone through three dynasties. A wealthy young lady who was ignorant of the world became an old lady who was ignorant of the world.

With the donation of 1 taels, the little novice monk guarding the merit box couldn't help but feel happy and immediately went to report to the abbot.

Abbot Guangjin smiled from ear to ear and came to greet him personally:

"Amitabha, when the old lady comes to the temple, I am not far away to welcome you. I have been favored many times, and thanks to the good fortune of Buddhism, I will spread the praise of your good deeds to all parts of the world."

Cui Ming clasped her hands together and said piously: "Abbott promotes Buddhism and saves all living beings. I came here to fulfill my wish. The Bodhisattva finally gave me the best daughter-in-law."

The smile on Abbot Guangjin's face froze slightly.

The best daughter-in-law?

How can the witch who suppresses Buddhism deserve such high praise as the kind-hearted and wealthy Mrs. Mingguo!

The eldest princess was powerful and had great prestige. Li Dang in the court had several battles with her, but they could not defeat her. The people of Yunhuang Kingdom were grateful for her kindness in providing disaster relief and epidemic prevention, and sending food and medicine. They were at ease in the Buddhist temple. If she is openly slandered in Dharma meetings and sermons, the people will be dissatisfied with the ascetics.It was hard not being able to suppress her.

"Madam, please come inside."

Abbot Guangjin personally led the way, with rosary beads in hand, and led Cui Ming into the Sanskrit Hall to worship the Bodhisattva and fulfill her vows.

The Dharma is solemn and the Buddha's music is melodious.

Mrs. Mingguo offered incense to the Bodhisattva and knelt down to worship: "Amitabha, I have come to bathe in the Bodhisattva's grace and fulfill my wish. I hope that Yang'er and Qingyuan will be in love with each other for hundreds of years, and I will pray for them every day."

Guang Jin watched silently.

Since ancient times, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been a huge problem.

When it comes to suppressing the eldest princess, isn't the mother-in-law the best candidate?

"Buddhism is very lucky to have such a devout believer as Mrs. Guo. If everyone is like Mrs. Guo, I believe Buddhism can regain its former glory."

"Why did the abbot say this? The Dazizai Buddhist Temple is full of incense and brilliant." Cui Ming didn't understand what he meant.

As everyone knows, this is a hook.

Just waiting for her to bite.

Abbot Guangjin's hand twisting the beads slowed down, and he sighed very heavily: "My Buddha is merciful. The founding emperor of Yunhuang treated the Buddhists with courtesy, and the late emperor worshiped the Buddha very much. But in recent years, after Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to the court, , but they severely destroyed and suppressed Buddhism, tortured monks and officials, threatened eminent monks to return to secular life, and even refused to pay for the construction of the half-built Wild Goose Pagoda in this temple; this is also the case in the other five royal monasteries in Yundu, Baocha, Buddhist temple The temple was forced to stop construction; Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple is the first royal temple. It holds four Dharma meetings a year to preach the Lotus Sutra to the people all over the world. The expenses required for opening the altar should have been paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the eldest princess actually paid for it. The monks sent by the poor monks to apply for silver were sent away like beggars.”
