Chapter 645: The Lady Will Become a Nun
Emperor Hongde was getting impatient, and the court officials below, who had their own concerns, felt as if they were being fried in oil and could not bear it any longer!
These people were thinking...
If no one else speaks first... then just go for it... and speak first?
But if I were to speak first...where should I start?
Should I first ask the Emperor to annul the imperial decree granting the marriage?
Or should we still use Leng Rongyue’s identity as the “daughter of a culprit” as an excuse to make a fuss?
Or should I sincerely suggest to the Emperor that he should choose a suitable queen for Prince Yu as soon as possible?
These people were just hesitating and undecided, when they heard Emperor Hongde on the Dragon Terrace finally speak.
The emperor has something to say to his ministers.
Since the emperor has something to say, they, as subjects, can only listen attentively.
Who dares to say that he has something to say?
Who dares to ask the emperor to wait until he finishes speaking... and then the emperor can speak?
They wouldn't dare to do it even if they had the courage!
Then, all the ministers bowed and said, "I wonder what the emperor's will is. We respectfully request your instructions!"
Emperor Hong De calmly opened the piece of paper he had been holding in his hand.
"This is a list and report I received not long ago.
There are dozens of people on the list.
Oh, yes, if you count the servants who came with them, there should be about two or three hundred people!"
The second half of the sentence was counting... Emperor Hongde seemed to be muttering to himself... but he muttered so clearly that all the ministers in the hall could hear it.
list?
What list?
not……
not……
What are you afraid of?
Then Emperor Hong De continued: "The report says that...
For some unknown reason, the Qingguo Temple at Yunxiang Mountain suddenly became very popular!
Since yesterday, many devout men and women in Beijing have flocked to the temple to worship Buddha.
Until just now, there was still an endless stream of believers rushing up the mountain;
There are even many devout people who do not care about the chilly autumn nights and the heavy dew;
Regardless of the high mountain and steep slope and the difficult road, he climbed up Yunxiang Mountain overnight and rushed to Qingguo Temple!
Surprisingly, most of those rushing up the mountain are young and delicate female believers!
When I knew about it, I was surprised at first, and then I was deeply moved.
The fact that so many devout believers who worship Buddha and Bodhisattva have emerged in the capital of my Jingyue country is a good sign that Buddhism will flourish and that Buddha will bless my Jingyue!
Amitabha, my heart is deeply comforted!
Therefore, I suddenly had an idea...
Among these devout believers who rushed to Qingguo Temple, there must be many who are truly sincere in devoting themselves to Buddhism.
Since they are so sincere, we might as well help them achieve their wish.
It would be better to see how many of them are truly devoted to Buddhism and directly arrange for them to be ordained as monks in Qingguo Temple!
Help them fulfill their wishes and serve the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas for their entire lives..."
what?
Become a monk?
Who should be ordained?
The believers who rushed to Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain from yesterday to today?
Isn’t that... isn’t that the daughter of their family?
Their daughter rushed to Qingguo Temple in order to get close to His Royal Highness Prince Yu and have a chance to marry into Prince Yu's palace!
It’s not for the purpose of becoming a monk and serving gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas!
Doesn’t the emperor really know?
No, the emperor knows!
The emperor knows everything and he did it on purpose.
But…but…if the emperor really wants to do this, it would be too…too…too mean!
How to do?
How to do?
Their daughters are still in Yunxiang Mountain!
But they were in the Golden Palace...
It’s too late to call my daughter back now!
Ouch!
Ouch!
How great is this!
Even if their daughter cannot marry His Royal Highness Prince Yu, she can still marry into a noble family for the sake of family alliance!
I spent so much time and effort, and so much money...
Offerings of jewels, jade, and brocade;
Feed them with delicious delicacies;
They had hoped that they could chase him to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain and get close to His Royal Highness Prince Yu, so that they would have a chance to marry the Second Prince and become the Princess of Prince Yu, earning a glorious future for the family.
As a result, I went to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain, but I didn't even see the shadow of His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
I didn’t even touch the corner of Prince Yu’s clothes…
She had her head shaved... and became a nun...
Thoughts, money, pearls, brocades, delicacies...all of this...aren't they all in vain?
This...this...this...what is going on!
Wait... Qingguo Temple... Nun...
Becoming a nun in Qingguo Temple...this is not right!
Qingguo Temple is full of monks!
Ouch!
Ouch!
What is this all about!
Among the court officials, those who did not have daughters who ran away to Qingguo Temple, or those who had daughters but did not send them away, felt extremely at ease and fortunate at this moment!
All those who sent their daughters to the Qingguo Temple in Yunxiang Mountain were all sweating profusely...
My mind was frantically thinking of countermeasures...
Some people were also thinking... How could they ask the emperor for mercy and quickly retract this damaging and unreliable idea!
Before they could open their mouths to beg, Emperor Hong De spoke again...
"Why do I feel that there is something wrong with my thought just now...
What’s wrong?”
Those officials screamed frantically in their hearts: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Your thoughts just now...there's something wrong with them!
Everything is wrong!
Put those thoughts away!
Ahhh..."
"Oh, right!"
Hong Dedi looked as if he had suddenly realized something...
“I see that most of the people on the list are believers.
Since you are a believer, it is inappropriate for you to be ordained as a nun in Qingguo Temple!
This is so inappropriate!
Qingguo Temple is a Buddhist temple, how can it keep nuns here?
I was wrong!
Why not... choose a Feng Shui treasure land in Yunxiang Mountain and build a nunnery to accommodate these devout believers, so that they can worship Buddha in peace in the mountains and pray for the Jingyue Kingdom!"
