Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 1943

The Empress Dowager hesitated, "but are these scriptures useful?"

It's a little different from what they usually say.

"Which Taoist temple do you usually worship?"

Man Bao: "I've been to three Taoist temples, one is the baiyun temple in Yongzhou, one is the xuandu temple in the capital, and the other is the Taoist temple on the mountain near our village."

After a little thought, the Empress Dowager decided not to let go of any of them. She turned around and asked people to list gifts to three Taoist temples, even the Taoist temple in Dali Village.

Man Bao sat on a sideline listening to the gift list she drew. He was a little frightened and couldn't help looking at Mingda.

The smile on Mingda's face was also put away, with a heavy look.

The two good friends looked at each other and thought: what if the Empress Dowager's request could not be realized?

Manbao's mind suddenly appeared all kinds of deeds of killing Buddha and Tao in history books. She trembled and gently admonished the empress dowager, "has your mother seen the god Buddha?"

The Empress Dowager said piously on her face, "those who can see the god Buddha must be great spiritual people, not the Buddha and the immortal who has obtained the Tao."

She glanced at man Bao and asked, "have you seen it?"

Man Bao shook his head directly, and then asked, "does the dream count?"

The Empress Dowager said angrily, "it doesn't count!"

In the dream, in the dream, she became an immortal herself. Can that count?

Man Bao nodded and said, "so the world says that those who see the god Buddha are only individuals after all. How do you know they are not lying?"

The Empress Dowager frowned and looked around suspiciously, "do you mean there is no God or Buddha in the world? Then you still worship! "

She listened to this argument a lot. Every time she mentioned the god Buddha, the courtiers would shake their heads and say that they were silent and strange, but it was just the idea of Confucius. How could it be regarded as a standard?

Man Bao said, "I worship him because I believe in him."

Mr. Zhang read all the books. Although he didn't say it clearly, man Bao knew that he was more in favor of Lao Zhuang's way of dealing with people. Coupled with the influence of her mother, she worshipped Lao Tzu since childhood and was used to it.

Man Bao really believes in him.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I believe it, too."

Man Bao shook his head directly, "the Empress Dowager doesn't believe it."

The Empress Dowager frowned and glanced coldly at Zhou man.

Man Bao continued: "the Empress Dowager just asked for something, so she paid homage. You don't believe him, but you are obsessed with him. This is a big taboo."

"For gods, Buddhas and ghosts, we can trust them, respect them, and don't confuse them."

Koko suddenly said, "the emperor is coming."

Man Bao gave a meal. He didn't know whether the arrival of the emperor was dangerous to the host. If it had been in the past, he wouldn't broadcast this information in public, but he just noticed a strong emotional fluctuation in the Empress Dowager.

It still doesn't quite understand human beings, so I analyzed the data and finally broadcast this message to Zhou man.

Man Bao waited for a moment and wanted to wait until the emperor came in to salute before continuing, but she waited for a moment and saw no one sing.

Naturally, she did not doubt that Koko was wrong, so the emperor had to hide outside to eavesdrop.

Man Bao despised the emperor in his heart. Seeing the Empress Dowager's face darkened by what she said, Mingda looked at her anxiously. She said, "madam, how many people do you think there are in this world? How many are there? They must have a lot of serious things to do, and the rise and fall of the people have their own rules. I think even if there are gods and Buddhas, they can't meddle in the affairs of the people at will? "

"Otherwise, why are there so many natural and man-made disasters in this world? If the gods and Buddhas are so powerful and care for the world and believers, why are there still bad winds, bad rain, bullies and bandits? " Man Bao said, "just make a wish and destroy them all."

Empress Dowager and Mingda:

The emperor standing behind the screen:

Man Bao said, "so the god Buddha can't be confused. Life depends on yourself. Sometimes making a wish with the god Buddha is just for psychological comfort. Thinking that the god Buddha may hear one or two favors, but in fact, what really depends on you."

"The empress obviously prefers Buddhism to Taoism, but both Buddhism and Taoism worship," man Bao said. "It's not that you can't have both, but the empress clearly doesn't believe in Buddhism and Taoism. Why are you fascinated?"

"If you don't believe it, it's even more taboo."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time and asked, "how do you know that AI family doesn't believe it?"

Man Bao said, "I feel that I believe in Lao Zhuang's understanding of the world, the country and the relationship between people. What does my mother believe?"

The Empress Dowager opened her mouth. She believed in reincarnation. Does that count?

If she says it, man Bao must say it. Naturally, it has to be calculated, but she still doesn't believe it in the depths of her mother. She has to believe it only because of fear and desire

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't say it, and man Bao didn't have time to offend the Empress Dowager to death. All the old and young sat in a daze.

Mingda looked at man Bao and the Empress Dowager. He thought they were confrontation, so he couldn't help making a noise to attract them.

But the Empress Dowager didn't come back. Man Bao came back, but he looked at her with black eyes.

Mingda looked at the clear man Bao and said nothing. Forget it, let them go.

Man Bao actually only stayed for a while, and then he couldn't help talking to Koko in his head, "is the emperor still outside?"

"Yes, I'm standing outside the screen listening."

"You said if I turned my head to look at the screen now, would he find me looking at him?"

Koko: "... This is a wooden screen. Neither of you has the function of perspective."

Man Bao remembered, "yes."

It happened that Mingda made a movement, so she looked up at Mingda openly, looked at Mingda with her, and then turned around to look at the big screen at the entrance.

The screen was very thick. She couldn't see the outside at all, and the people outside naturally couldn't see the inside. Then when her eyes turned, she saw the palace man standing beside the screen who was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe. Only then did she find that there was a shadow superimposed on the shadow of the palace man.

Man Bao has learned a lesson. He can not see people, but can judge whether there are people outside through the shadow.

Just thinking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the screen. Almost immediately, there was Gu Zhong's voice, "the emperor arrived -"

Man Bao took back his sight and stood up with Mingda.

Seeing that there was no movement inside for a long time, for fear that the Empress Dowager would be angry, the emperor finally couldn't help coming in.

As soon as he came in, Zhou man and Mingda saluted together. The emperor waved his hand, exempted their gifts, and then went to salute the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager replied, "why did the emperor come?"

The emperor sat next to the Empress Dowager and said with a smile, "my son's ministers came to see my mother. She seems to be better today."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "it's more energetic to talk to the children. Originally, she wanted someone to give incense to the Taoist temple and thank the gods for their care. Emperor, do you think this incense should go up? "

The emperor was confused for a moment. How could he answer?
