"Buddha bone relic." Xuancheng read these four words silently. Shi Fu never said these words. When he returned, he just said that Gumo Kingdom was jointly destroyed by Yanqi Kingdom and Kucha Kingdom, and the countries in the Western Regions fell into war. However, there must be a source of war. The countries in the Western Regions originally believed in Buddhism, and there are several sects of Buddhism. It is not impossible for countries to fight over religion.
"Shi Fu, please play a piece of music for Brother Baishuang. I must have never heard the sound of nature played by a musician before."
Nan'an ordered someone to bring the zither, and Shi Fu obeyed the order and sat on the right end of the zither, plucking the strings, and the sound of the zither resounded like mountains and flowing water in the hall of Xuanshi.
"Pusheng in my pond, how far away are the leaves. If you can do benevolence and righteousness, no concubine knows it by itself. Everyone speaks gold and makes you part. When you miss me and leave me, you are alone and sad. I want to see your color and feel the knot. Sad spleen. Nian Jun is always in pain and sorrow, and can't sleep every night... "
The music officials in the Qing Dynasty must sing ancient poems to harmonize with the zither, and the sound of the zither is matched with this sad and melodious song on the pond, and Bai Shuang is shocked by the sense of sadness coming from it.
"Brother Wang, do you know what the musician is singing?"
Baishuang shook his head.
"This is the poem "Traveling on the Pond" written by Zhen Mi, Empress Cao Wei of the Central Plains, expressing her longing for her loved ones."
"Miss? Miss what?"
Fu Jian sighed, "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, relatives and loved ones are separated, the fate of the Zhen family is ill-fated, and the beauty is unlucky."
Xuancheng thought, when did you learn to pity the women in the palace.
Fu Jian pointed to Shi Fu and said to Bai Shuang, "Doesn't Brother Wang know that his country is ruined and his family is dead?"
"Didn't Your Majesty say that he is a descendant of the Qingshang Administration? Now that he has left the Western Regions and returned to the Central Plains, he is considered returning to his hometown."
"So, your brother Bai Chun saved Shi Fu by killing Gu Mo?"
Bai Shuang hesitated, "I, I, didn't say that."
"I didn't want Shi Fu to confront you today. I didn't want to intervene in the war between your Kucha country and the countries of the Western Regions, but the sixty-two countries of the Western Regions established diplomatic relations with us, Great Qin, for good neighborliness. Why did you meet in arms?"
Bai Shuang blushed, not knowing how to answer.
"Shi Fu, I think you can speak out about the Buddha bone relic you mentioned just now, and I will make the decision for you."
It turned out that Fu Jian didn't know that Bai Chun's extermination of Gumo was for the sake of the Buddha bone relic. He brought Shi Fu and Bai Shuang to the Xuanshi Hall at the same time to confront them face to face. One of them would show his flaws. It just gave Fu Jian a reason to send troops to the Western Regions.
"Brother Baishuang, since you are a gift from Bai Chun, I can't refuse, so you stay too."
Bai Shuang was startled, "Your Majesty, do you really want to leave Bai Shuang?"
"I have a golden mouth and a jade words."
Xuancheng cursed secretly, saying that you are not lustful, and that you are not lustful, but Lu Guang's voice lingered in his ears, Fu Jian really needs a beautiful boy, his heart needs a young and beautiful boy to cleanse To calm down, he couldn't wait any longer stubbornly.
Before Shi Fu left the guzheng, he walked over and knelt on the ground, and said slowly, "The Buddha bone relic is the relic of my Gumo Hinayana Buddhist master, old Pandita. After the old Pandita passed away, the cremation of the body produced colorful crystals. , the king personally visited the temple and regarded it as the national treasure of my Gumo. After Bai Chun learned about it, he used the pretext of unifying the Western Regions to join forces with the Yanqi and Wusun countries to attack my Gumo and plunder the gold, silver, treasures and pearls of my Gumo country. There are countless agates, killing the people of Gumo, the prince died, the king was captured by them, and finally they took the relics of the Buddha bones, and Gumo also perished."
"So, the current Buddha bone relic is in the hands of King Bai Chun of Kucha?" Fu Jian asked back.
Bai Shuang snapped, "No, he's talking nonsense. My brother never snatched the Buddha bone relic. The Buddha bone relic is the national treasure of my Kucha Kingdom."
"Oh, Brother Wang, do you know about Buddha bone relics?" Fu Jian looked at him meaningfully.
Bai Shuang lowered her head, "I,..."
"You just said that you have never heard of Buddha bone relics, how come you know now."
"I."
"Shi Fu, you should step back first."
At this time, Fu Jian understood in his heart what happened to the Buddha bone relic that Shi Fu and Bai Shuang mentioned, but he could not judge the Buddha bone by relying on Shi Fu's own words and Bai Shuang's ambiguous words. The relic is Gumo's national treasure, and he needs someone who understands Buddhism to prove it.
Shi Fu gradually receded, only Fu Jian and Bai Shuang were left in the hall of Xuan Shi, Xuancheng vaguely saw the close distance between the two of them behind the curtain, Bai Shuang raised his head.
"Your Majesty, please don't send troops."
"When did I say I was going to send troops?"
"Aren't you going to fight brother for Gumo, Cheshiqianbu, Shanshan and other countries?"
"Brother Wang is worrying too much. I can't decide on these matters alone. I have to discuss with the ministers before making a decision."
Bai Shuang turned from worry to joy, with a slight blush on his face, he approached Fu Jian step by step, "Your Majesty, don't wait until tonight, Bai Shuang wants to serve you now."
Fu Jian stared at him in shock, "Now? Brother Wang is too impatient, right?"
"No hurry, Your Majesty, you...you will know after that."
After all, when he was half a step away from Fu Jian, his body softened and fell down. Fu Jian caught him and put his arms around his slender waist.
The person in his arms winks like silk, and every frown and smile is extremely charming, "Your Majesty."
Fu Jian was slightly absent-minded, and the hand of the man in his arms slowly climbed up and grabbed Fu Jian's arm.
A sigh suddenly sounded from behind the curtain, and Fu Jian woke up immediately.
"Brother Wang, let's wait until night."
"Your Majesty, don't wait any longer, Bai Shuang is going now."
Fu Jian said, "Let go of me first."
"Not loose." The man in his arms acted like a baby.
Fu Jian pursed his lips and smiled, "Really not loose?"
"Not loose."
"If you don't let go, then I will let go." The voice fell to the ground with a playful laughter in his tone, and the next moment, the person in his arms lost his support, and his body fell heavily on the ground.
"Oh." Bai Shuang cried out in pain.
Fu Jian held back his smile.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang? Why did you lie down in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you to come back at night?"
Xuancheng covered his mouth, he couldn't hold back his smile, but he couldn't snicker, he could only scold Fu Jian for teasing Bai Shuang too much in his heart, and felt aggrieved for Bai Shuang, Bai Shuang treated himself as a man for his brother The gift was given to Fu Jian. Bai Chun already had a thorough understanding of Fu Jian's private affairs. The two brothers sang together, one conquered small countries in the Western Regions, and the other came to Chang'an to stabilize Fu Jian. Shen wants to exchange for a strong enemy on the western frontier of Daqin, which is absolutely not allowed.
Perhaps, when Bai Shuang came to Chang'an this time, Bai Chun had to learn a word of the Han people, and he would change it to lose his wife and lose his army to lose his brother and lose his army.
Fu Jian swaggered out of the Xuanshi Hall, and Bai Shuang behind him got up from the ground in embarrassment, stomping his feet angrily.
Fu Jian went to ask Dao'an about the Buddhist bone relics in the Western Regions.
After Nan'an invited Bai Shuang out, Xuancheng finally quietly walked out behind the curtain. He stood in the hall of Xuanshi with many thoughts. Maybe Fu Jian would touch the idea of Buddha bone relics. As a national treasure of the Western Regions, no one would not be tempted Yes, Fu Jian is also a mortal.
In the evening, Mi Cang and his national teacher Kumarabati asked Fu Jian to summon him together.
When Fu Jian came back from Dao'an, he invited Xuancheng to meet Mi Cang and Kumarabati together, seeing his half-smiling eyes, Xuancheng felt vaguely uneasy.
"Your Majesty, has Bai Shuang been here?"
Fu Jian nodded, "Come here."
"You agreed to him?" Mi Can asked tentatively.
Fu Jian smiled, "The former king of the car market didn't have to inquire about such details, right?"
Mi Yan said, "No matter how you reply to Bai Shuang, Your Majesty, I think I can give you a better gift."
"Oh, do you still have a gift to give? The Dapin Sutra presented by your national teacher Kumaraba can be regarded as a treasure."
Kumarapati shook his head and said, "It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't know much about the national treasures of the Western Regions."
"Oh, I would like to hear the details, and ask the national teacher to enlighten me."
Fu Jian smiled at Xuancheng, and Xuancheng instantly understood that Fu Jian was forcing them to increase their salary. In fact, Fu Jian had long wanted to conquer the Western Regions, but this time the arrival of Mi Cang seemed to bring him unexpected benefits. fruit.
The fruit tree full of treasures in the Western Regions is really unsatisfactory.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Three Treasures of the Western Regions?"
Fu Jian shook his head.
"Three Treasures of the Western Regions, one is the Juewo Shakyamuni Buddha statue, the other is the Buddha bone relic, and the third is Kumarajiva."
"Kumarajiva?" Fu Jian and Xuan Cheng were surprised at the same time.
Xuancheng knows, isn't this the famous Buddhist master in the Western Regions during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties? Later acquired by Yao Chang, he is also one of the four most famous Buddhist translators in Chinese history.
Kumarajiva's family is well-known in Indian history, and the position of Prime Minister of India was contracted by their family, which was hereditary.
"Your Majesty, these three treasures are now in the hands of Bai Shuang's elder brother Bai Chun."
"In the hands of the King of Kucha? I heard that this Buddha bone relic was originally a national treasure of the Gumo Kingdom."
"That's right, the Buddha bone relic was originally owned by King Baishui of Gumo. This Baishui and King Bai Chunnai of Kucha were brothers of the clan. Gumo and Kucha were brothers. Gumo originally had more than 20,000 people. The army With 4,500 people, it is not as big as Qiuci and Wusun, Dawan, Shule, Subi, and Yanqi, and it is not a small country. Bai Chun was greedy for Gumo's Buddha bone relics and sent troops to attack his brother country, which destroyed Gumo. Mo, Bai Qinglian, the prince of Gumo committed suicide, and Baishui, the king of Gumo, was captured and sent to Kucha as a slave."
Fu Jian couldn't help sighing, "It's so tragic for a generation of kings to be slaves."
"Your Majesty, this is a tragedy caused by Bai Chun, the king of Qiuci, who is greedy for money. Now that the countries in the Western Regions are in dire straits of war, the people of the Western Regions are in urgent need of His Majesty's kindness, and I beg Your Majesty to save the countries in the Western Regions."
Xuancheng fell into confusion for a while. Indeed, if what Mi Yan said is true, it would be abominable for Bai Chun to destroy his brother country and spread the war to dozens of surrounding countries. However, there is no trend of interest, and all this will happen again ? Will Fu Jian send troops to attack Yanqi and Qiuci for the salvation of the world that Mi Tan said without asking for anything? In the eyes of Buddhism, this is the savior elder appointed by heaven, but there has never been a war for no reason in this world, and there has never been a war purely for the salvation of the world.
Fu Jian asked Kumarapati, "Can the national teacher tell me about these three treasures in detail?"
Sure enough, Xuancheng thought, and Fu Jian was tempted.
