Previous link: Volume I, Chapter 60
Qiu Chuji originally listened to King Fu's ancestors and grandsons talk about family affairs, and felt that it was not suitable for him to interject, so he was silent, and at this time, when he heard King Fu suddenly ask about himself, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord Fu, I am a monk, and I really don't praise these things." ”
"If I tell you to say it, you just have to say it!" King Fu originally wanted to find a helper, but when he saw Qiu Chu's excuse, he couldn't help but say: "If you are your friend, this Yuling is your niece, what do you want her to do in this situation?" ”
"This ......" Hearing King Fu just ask himself, Qiu Chuji was a little embarrassed, and said: "Lord Fu, I won't tell you, I have been a monk for more than 20 years, and I have no idea what life should be like in this world!" ”
King Fu wanted to say something more, but the old lady Taiyu couldn't help but sink her face slightly, looked at King Fu and said, "Tell me about you, why bother with a monk like Qiu Zhenren?" According to me, Yuling, you still have to listen to your father and uncle, they are all for your good! We have always had this tradition, so why should you bother to do the opposite? It's not a pleasure to everyone! ”
"Imperial Grandmother!" Hearing Mrs. Taiyu say this, Yuling's face couldn't help but be gloomy: "If the imperial grandmother also says the same, then I can only become a monk!" Anyway, I don't want to marry again! ”
"Look at you, kid! When your grandmother became a monk, your father still feels heartache when he thinks about it! Now if you become a monk again, it will be more difficult for your father! And what do others say about your father? Is it so hard for you to remarry? King Fu was so excited that his beard trembled: "Besides, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about our Wanyan family!" Our Wanyan family is not very prosperous now, although you are a daughter's family, but in the end it is my Wanyan bloodline, I always have to think about more children and grandchildren, and spread out more branches! How can there be such a thing as a net mention of escaping into an empty door! ”
Qiu Chuji had never seen King Fu so angry as he was now, and seeing Yuling's face was sad and embarrassed, he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord Fu is angry, I think the eldest princess is very virtuous and reasonable, she is now saying that she is a monk, it is just a whim, and it can't be true!" ”
"Alas, Qiu Zhenren, you don't know, she has always had this idea during this time, otherwise I wouldn't want to bring her here! You are a monk, you might as well persuade her from the perspective of a monk, how hard the life of a monk is, how can she stand being pampered since she was a child? Tell her about it! Fu Wang said.
Qiu Chuji listened, lowered his head and thought: "Of course, the life of a monk is very hard, but this kind of hard work naturally has its benefits, not to mention that it helps to cultivate the mind, and there are many less worldly troubles out of thin air!" I've always enjoyed it, so there's not much bitterness to speak of! ”
Although he thought so, he looked up at King Fu and knew that these words were certainly not suitable for now, so he turned to say: "King Fu is too worried!" The eldest princess still has children under her knees who are not yet adults, she is a loving person, how can she leave her young children and become a monk? Even if we are monks, we still value humanity and filial piety the most. If the parents don't agree, it will naturally not come out; This is not the case with young children. Raising children is the way of parenthood, and the eldest princess will naturally not abandon it! ”
Hearing what Qiu Chuji said, the tears in the eyes of the eldest princess Yuling couldn't help but roll down gently, and said: "Qiu Zhenren is right, why doesn't my imperial uncle understand this truth, and only cares about being angry with me!" It's like I'm really going against the grain! Of course, raising children is human nature, how could I not know! It's just that my father and uncle have been persuading me to remarry for the past year, without taking into account my own feelings at all! It's really hard for me, otherwise why would I be forced to want to become a monk? ”
King Fu saw Yuling bowing her head and crying, which was different from the stubbornness she had when she persuaded her before, and knew that she was saying what was in her heart.
Quite relieved, King Fu looked at Qiu Chuji, then at Yuling, thought for a while and said, "You kid, you have this idea to tell us earlier, where do we have to force you?" It's all for your good! ”
Yu Ling cried for a while before stopping her tears, looked at King Fu and said, "Uncle Huang now knows that he said this, when did he allow me to say my own thoughts?" It's just urging me to remarry, as if a huge dynasty can't support me! I thought, am I really so disliked, if I really want that, it is better to avoid it as a monk! Speaking of this, he wiped his tears aggrievedly.
"Look at what you said, you are the most expensive eldest princess of our Great Jin Dynasty! If anyone dares to dislike you, let him taste my old fist first! King Fu said, "Although the imperial brother doesn't like to say it in person, I know that he has always loved you the most!" In the end, my brother and I are all for your own good, I'm afraid that you will be too lonely alone, and the child will grow up after all! ”
Seeing that Yuling just lowered his head and wiped his tears at this time, and sobbed and couldn't make a sound for a while, King Fu couldn't help but turn his head and said to Qiu Chuji: "Old Qiu, you are still powerful, just a few words let Yuling say what is in his heart, I don't know how much more powerful than I have been grinding my mouth for half a year!" ”
Qiu Chuji heard King Fu say this, and felt that he was not as powerful as King Fu said, so he replied: "King Fu is anxious, maybe he didn't choose what to say at that time, or he was careless. I'm not necessarily that powerful, but I'm an outsider, and the so-called bystanders are clear, and what I say may be more pertinent. The emperor and the prince thought that they were all for the good of the princess, and they only wanted to give her what they thought was good, but it was not what the princess really wanted. Perhaps the most important thing you two need to do is to let the eldest princess make decisions about her own affairs, so that she may be more comfortable! ”
"Hey, that's a reason!" When King Fu heard Qiu Chuji say these words, he clapped his hands, nodded again and again, and said, "Actually, we have always wanted her to have good intentions. It's my own child, how can I not feel distressed? But I don't know how to say it, just say it's screwed! If you don't say that you are a master in the world, you are smarter than us in dealing with such a thing! To be honest, I have lived most of my life, and I have seen more people, but I have never admired anyone, but now I admire you very much! ”
Since Yu Ling had said the words that had been depressed in her heart for a long time, her mood was much better, she saw that her fat imperial uncle was clapping her hands at this time, while constantly praising Qiu Chuji, a little sweat appeared on her red face, which looked a little funny, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "Uncle Huang, look at it yourself, do you have a little royal majesty now?" ”
King Fu originally didn't care about any royal prestige, he saw that Yuling was happy, he was in a good mood, and he originally wanted to tease Yuling: "Don't just talk about me, you look at yourself crying for a while, laughing for a while, do you have the appearance of the eldest princess of our Dajin Dynasty?" However, he felt sorry for the child and couldn't bear to say it, just smiled and passed.
Yuling's matter was told by everyone, and the old lady Taiyu's heart was bright, and through this incident, she understood that the Qiu Zhenren in front of her was not only a master of cultivation outside the world, but also able to solve many secular problems with his "way of inaction".
At her age, all she hopes is that future generations can live clearly and make fewer mistakes. The so-called prosperity and wealth are naturally good for a long time, but in case of misfortune falling into poverty, as long as the heart is rich and happy, it is also extremely valuable.
Thinking like this in her heart, the old lady Taiyu couldn't help nodding lightly at Qiu Chuji, and said: "Qiu Zhenren, when can you teach a little bit of your Taoist learning to my juniors, so that they can also understand a little bit of the wisdom of life, then I will be very content!" ”
Qiu Chuji said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai, there is no Taoist learning in the poor Dao, more is nothing more than cultivating the mind." ”
King Fu saw that the old lady Taiyu was so approved of Qiu Chuji, and he took it down with a pat on his chest: "Mother's opinion has always been clever, I don't need to look at when I see this matter, just do what I say, one day I will call our young juniors together and ask them to come and listen to Qiu Zhenren's preaching!" ”
As soon as King Fu said this, Qiu Chuji couldn't excuse himself, and the matter was settled.
Within a few days, King Fu gathered the sons and nephews of the Wanyan family, about 20 people, and came to the Yuxu Palace to listen to Qiu's preaching.
When the news spread, some of the civil and military ministers in the capital went to King Fu to ask to listen to it, and some signed up for their sons and nephews, and finally gathered about 50 people.
Qiu Chuji gave a lecture for these imperial relatives for three days, from Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" to Wang Chongyang's establishment of the Quanzhen Sect. Unlike in the past, he was more inclined to explain how to use Taoist scriptures to solve practical problems.
The eldest princess of Yuling would come to the Yuxu Palace on time every day and listen carefully to Qiu's lectures.
Mrs. Taiyu felt that she was old at first, and she was afraid that she would not be able to persevere, but she did not expect that after listening to it for half a day in the morning on the first day, she was still very energetic in the afternoon, and finally insisted on listening for three days.
After three days, I don't know if the old lady felt very rewarded, or happy for her good health, anyway, she was happy, looking carefree, as if she could see everything very thoroughly.
The three-day preaching activity of the Yuxu Palace caused a sensation in the capital.
As soon as the three-day activity ended, Qiu Chuji received an edict from Jin Shizong.
At this time, it was already summer, and the weather in Zhongdu began to heat up.
This time, Jin Shizong invited Qiu Chuji to Changsong Island, a summer resort in the north of the capital, saying that there were important matters to discuss in detail.
