Chapter 658:

After eating the banquet, Gu Jiu took a carriage back to the palace.
There were people coming and going in the street, and the carriage was moving slowly.
She drank alcohol today, this will be a bit dizzy.
The swaying carriage made her feel dizzy.
Rubbing the eyebrows, there is no relief. She lifted up half the curtains of the car to breathe.
Two monks wearing hats crossed the crowd and passed by the carriage.
"Hey!"
Gu Jiu shouted, only to realize that Meng Lang was in hindsight.
When the two monks passed by, although they were wearing hats, they gave her a familiar feeling.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, his mouth moved faster than his brain, and he yelled first.
She was a little upset.
I hope that the two masters will not think she is calling them.
However, Gu Jiu was disappointed.
One of the monk wearing a hat turned his head and accurately caught Gu Jiu's gaze.
"what?!"
Gu Jiu blinked, no wonder she felt familiar.
This, isn't this a hopeless master? Isn’t it just the little monk that Princess Huyang thought about?
When did he return to the capital.
Hopelessly with a smile, folded his hands, bowed slightly, and said a Buddha's horn at Gu Jiu.
"I didn't expect to meet a donor here."
"You really are the hopeless master?"
As the carriage got closer, Gu Jiu could see each other more clearly.
Hopeless raised the hat on his head slightly so that Gu Jiu could see his facial features clearly.
"It turns out to be a master! Fortunately! When will the master return to the capital?"
"It will take a while to come back. But in a few days, the poor monk will leave the capital again."
"Where is the master going?" Gu Jiu asked casually.
With compassion on his face and a smile at the corner of his mouth, Master Wuwang said softly: "Prepare to go to Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan is good! Master also wants to go to that rich place. I don't know when I can return to the capital?"
Hopeless shook his head slightly, "The return date is uncertain."
Gu Jiu looked regretful, "It's a pity, I still want to listen to the master teaches Dharma."
Hopelessly said with a smile: "Thanks to the donor, you can go to the Baiyun Temple outside the city. The poor monks are currently placing orders at the Baiyun Temple.
Gu Jiu nodded, "When will the master leave Beijing?"
"Three days later!"
Gu Jiu glanced at the sky, then at the blocked street, and said: "It's better to meet by chance. If the master is not in a hurry to leave the capital, it is better for me to get off the carriage and find a place to talk with the master."
Hopelessly smiled and nodded, "It is better to be respectful. Madam decides a place, and the poor monk has no opinion."
Gu Jiu looked around, "How about the drugstore in front? That was the property my wife bought in her early years. There is a courtyard behind the drugstore, suitable for conversation."
"Madam please!"
Gu Jiu got out of the carriage and took the maid and woman into the medicine shop.
Hopelessly followed.
Er Zhuang no longer serves as the treasurer of the drug store.
Er Zhuang is now the chief manager of commerce and trade. He is extremely busy and rarely visits the drugstore on weekdays.
The shopkeeper in the drugstore was an apprentice trained by Er Zhuang, and he was familiar with Gu Jiu.
The shopkeeper welcomes you.
Gu Jiu said, "Clean up a hall, and this lady will talk to the master about Buddha."
"Madam, please, the flower hall is just right."
"Good tea."
"Little understands."
After entering the flower hall, she has her own maid to take care of her, so she doesn't need the shopkeeper to take care of her.
Gu Jiu greeted Hopeless to sit down, "Master, please sit down. This is simple and simple, Master, don't dislike it."
Hopeless said the Buddha's horn, "This place is excellent, better than most temples where poor monks place orders."
Gu Jiu smiled, "It's a coincidence that I will meet the master on the street today. Did the master enter the capital to meet people or buy?"
Hopeless and compassionate, he looked like an eminent monk, "After returning to the capital, I often hear people mention that the capital has changed a lot in recent years. The poor monk could not bear it for a while, so he came to see the capital before leaving Beijing. Just take a look and add some insight."
"Master can really laugh."
"Amitabha, the monks don't speak any words."
"Master drinking tea!" Gu Jiu pushed the teacup forward.
Hopeless thanked him and took a sip from the teacup.
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that I only met the master once. But when the master passed by the carriage just now, I felt very familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I saw it. So I went out. The master screamed. I didn't expect to know him."
Hopeless said: "Amitabha, maybe this is the so-called Buddha relationship. Madam has a relationship with my Buddha."
Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head, "Master said and laughed. I don't believe in Buddha."
"Oh? What does the lady believe?"
Gu Jiu pointed to the roof and then to the ground, "I believe in the heavens and the earth. The heavens and the earth have their own righteousness, and there is nothing to hide from all the ghosts."
Hopeless kept smiling, unmoved, "Buddha makes people do good, and also makes all demons and sprites invisible."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's not the same! The Buddha is just a psychological comfort for the lost and helpless. It is the straw that allows drowning people to breathe. The power that truly makes the ghosts and ghosts invisible exists at the moment the world is born. The abundance of righteousness is the belief in people's hearts that justice will prevail."
As firm as a hopeless master, I was shocked when I heard these words.
"Madam firmly believes that Haoran is righteous?"
"I firmly believe that there is a law between heaven and earth." After that, she laughed, "It is as if the master firmly believed that the Buddha can overcome the sufferings of the world, and that he is pious in this life, and he can enjoy wealth in the next life."
Hopelessly, he shook his head slowly, with a sad expression, "The donor really does not believe in the Buddha."
"Does the master believe in Buddha?"
"Poor monk and Buddhist disciple, naturally believe in the Buddha." Hopelessly said decisively.
Gu Jiu picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why does the master say that he is a child of Buddhism repeatedly?
"Amitabha! The benefactor said carefully!"
Gu Jiu laughed, "I did drank alcohol today, but my brain reacted a little bit slower, which doesn't mean that people have become dumb. The master deliberately appeared in front of my carriage and deliberately attracted my attention, right?"
"Amitabha Buddha! The donor misunderstood. Everything today is just a coincidence."
Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "My lady never believes in coincidences. Most of the coincidences are made by humans. Why don't the masters treat each other frankly."
Hopelessly looked at Gu Jiu, and solemnly said: "The poor monk has no malice towards his wife!"
Gu Jiu smiled, "I believe that! From your eyes, I don't see the slightest maliciousness."
Hearing this, Wuwang laughed again, "The poor monk just wanted to see his wife before leaving Beijing."
"Oh? Why does the master want to see me? Are there any other connections between us besides Huyang County Lord?"
Hopelessly with a mysterious smile, "Madam Bingxue is smart, so she won't be guessed."
Gu Jiu's smile gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned. "You and Liu Zhao?"
"Madam is really smart, she can see it at one point."
call!
Gu Jiu let out a sigh and waved, and all the servants exited the flower hall.
Xu has four guards at the door to prevent anyone from approaching.
Gu Jiu ridiculed: "The world is really amazing. Let me guess, you came to see me, did you and Liu Zhao fall out? He wants to kill you? Or, do you want to betray him?"
"Madam is great, you have all guessed it."
"Oh!"
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows without the slightest surprise. Everything seemed so peaceful.
Hopelessly smiled, "Madam's reaction is the same as the poor monk's guess."
Gu Jiu smiled, "My madam, guess again, was Liu Zhao arranged for you to leave the capital that year?"
Hopelessly nodded and admitted simply.
"You come to see me today, do you expect me to save your life?"
"Don't hide it from Madam, the reason why the poor monk agreed to cooperate with His Highness is all because of Madam.
"Because of me?" Gu Jiu puzzled.
Hopeless said solemnly: "His Royal Highness has all the shortcomings of the Liu family. If he had not married his wife, he would be useless in the eyes of the poor monk."
Gu Jiu laughed loudly, "I really should let Liu Zhao listen to these words and see how he sneered. I didn't expect him to have such a low evaluation in the eyes of the master."
"Amitabha, the monks don't speak any words."
Putting these words here, there is a bit of irony inexplicably.
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "Thank you for your trust, but I must tell the master that I never interfere with Liu Zhao's affairs. Similarly, he does not interfere with my business. Although we are a husband and wife, we will cooperate with each other, but each other Abide by the bottom line and not interfere with each other's decisions."
"Madam misunderstood! The poor monk did not let his wife intervene in the decision of the Great Highness. The poor monk came to see his wife today just to make sure of one thing."
Gu Jiu asked curiously, "What are you sure about?"
Hopeless laughed, his eyes were shining brightly, "I'm sure it's worth it."
"Oh? Does the master have an answer?"
Hopelessly nodded, "The poor monk has already got the answer and is satisfied."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Congratulations, Master, I got my wish. I was very happy to see you today. I don't know when I will meet again next time."
Hopelessly said calmly: "Maybe there will be no next time."
"That's a pity!" Gu Jiu didn't say much.
Seeing it or not is not that important.
This concludes today's conversation.
Gu Jiu is also ready to leave Hopeless.
Unexpectedly, a storm broke out outside.
"Get off! Do you know who this palace is? This palace is the lord of Huyang, and this palace wants to see your master!"
"My nephew, come out, come out for me..."
"It's noisy outside, what's the situation?" Gu Jiu shouted at the door.
Xu Yousi hurriedly pushed the door and entered the flower hall, "Madam Qi, the lord of Huyang is clamoring to see his wife, but the people outside are afraid they can't stop it."
Gu Jiu looked at Wuwang with a smile but a smile, "The master has offended my Royal Highness so badly that he even released Huyang."
Hopeless and calm, he didn't panic at all.
Gu Jiu waved to Xu You four times, "Stop Huyang first, at least one cup of tea time. My wife and the master still have something to say."
"Old slave obeys!" Xu Yousi bowed and rushed out with the little yellow door.
Gu Jiu refilled the tea cup, and she said unhurriedly: "Did Liu Zhao warn you that you are not allowed to come to me?"
"Yes! Madam is really smart!"
Gu Jiu sneered and said: "This has nothing to do with being smart, just because I know him and guess what he will do. Huyang's presence here is by no means an accident, you must have violated his bottom line. After thinking about it, he The bottom line should be this lady."
"Madam is right." Hopeless admitted decisively.
Gu Jiu put his cheek in one hand, "This madam is his bottom line, I should be happy. It's just that he acted a little impulsively, and he released the Huyang out of the lake. It was clearly an angry decision. It seems that he was in Zongzheng Temple. In the past month, he didn't cultivate his character, but his temper became more grumpy than before."
"It's just a trapped beast!" Wuwang said concisely.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't let him hear this, he will be unhappy."
Wuwang smiled and said, "His Royal Highness was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple. On the surface, he looked very peaceful, but in fact, there must be grievances in his heart. During this period of time from Zongzheng Temple, he has never had a chance to vent. Today the poor monk is in his hands. He just took this opportunity to vent. Poor monks can understand."
"The master is really empathetic. He released Princess Huyang just because he wanted to disgust you. It was a naive act. This lady apologized to the master on his behalf."
"Madam is too polite! The most correct thing your Majesty has done in this life is to marry Madam. Madam is the Dinghai Shenzhen in His Highness's heart. Only when you are there can he know how to exercise restraint. As a royal son, the first thing to do is to learn restraint."
Gu Jiu nodded again and again, agreeing very much, "You and I see the same thing! However, the royal education seems to lack the lesson of restraint."
Wuwang sighed, "Imperial education teaches people to be courteous and modest, while at the same time magnifying the desires in my heart all the time. From ancient times to the present, the royal family has never taught a qualified emperor in a true sense."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "This question is open to discussion. What is qualified? In times of national crisis, an emperor who is as powerful as an emperor is required to kill and decisive. When a country is at peace, an emperor with a gentle personality is needed.
The emperor is never an immutable model and cannot be reproduced as it is. In different eras, the emperor needed is different. The master is compassionate, but some ideas are too clichéd. "
Hopeless, his pupils tightened, his eyes were like sharp swords, and he pierced Gu Jiu, "In Madam's opinion, what kind of emperor does Da Zhou need today?"
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Since the master has the heart to help the court, it is better to stay."
