On that night, Zen Master Wensong, a generation of eminent monk, passed away. Before his death, he left a sentence to his disciples, "Even if you have been through a hundred kalpas, your karma will not be destroyed. When you encounter the cause and condition, you will still be rewarded."

The death of Zen Master Wensong did not alarm people in the world. When cremated, many relics appeared in colorful, different shapes and sizes. In just one day, thousands of relics were picked up.

Those who see relics are like seeing Buddha in person.

Zen Master Wensong's disciple reported the matter to the court. Emperor Tianyou did not believe in Buddhism, but Empress Li was a devout Buddhist. She insisted on welcoming the Buddha's bones and wanted to specially renovate a small Buddha in the palace to worship.

Although the dispute over Confucianism and Buddhism in Jingguo was not as fierce as the previous dynasty, even at the beginning of the founding of the country, Buddhism still had the supreme supremacy of the state religion. However, the contradiction still existed. The court officials opposed Empress Li's desire to welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace to worship.

"In the first year of Tianyou, there were so many things." Yan Huo sighed. Shi Qing was a matter of life and life. She joined forces. She did not agree with the matter of welcoming Buddha bones, so she did not plan to join forces.

Yan Hu didn't want to join the party, but Empress Li summoned her to the palace, "Xiaoxiao, please think of a way to help me, so that the court officials would not object so much to me to welcome the Buddha's bones."

"Empress, have you read the "Ship to Welcome the Bones of the Buddha" presented by the court officials?" Yan Hu asked.

"No, Your Majesty just said to me a few words: You should not believe in Buddhism. You also listed the things that sarcastic Buddhism in all dynasties caused harm to the court. You also said that welcoming the Buddha's bones will not last long. You also said that 'Working for Buddha's blessings will bring disaster to you even more.' Just like I welcome the Buddha's bones, I will harm Your Majesty, as if I became the demon queen who harmed the country." Empress Li said aggrievedly.

"The Empress is the heart of a Bodhisattva, but she is just a Empress. Haven't you heard what Your Majesty meant?" Yan Hu asked.

"What does Your Majesty mean? What does Your Majesty mean?" Queen Li looked at Yan Huo in confusion.

"Empress, do you still remember the attitude of Your Majesty when Shi Qing was about?" Yan Huo guided her in the past, instead of directly helping her think of a solution. She didn't want to become cannon fodder between the emperor and the empress.

"At that time, the court officials kept admonishing His Majesty to ask Shi Qing, it was your idea..." Queen Li showed a happy look, "Xiaoxiao, are you saying that we will use the public opinion for a while?"

Yan Huo shook his head, "Empress, if Your Majesty wants to execute Shi Qing, he will not deprive her of fame when he is imprisoned in the heavenly prison." This shows Your Majesty's attitude.

Queen Li thought for a while, "What you mean is that Your Majesty does not want to execute Shi Qing."

"Yes, so we are just taking advantage of the situation. Empress, you have to analyze whether Your Majesty wants to welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace?" Yan Huo said in a righteous manner.

Empress Li lowered her head and pondered for a long time, "I think Your Majesty doesn't want to welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace, but..."

"Empress, Your Majesty is the lord of the world. Do you think it's good if you go against his will?" Yan Huo interrupted her and asked in a deep voice. The emperor is still quite able to accept advice, but it is not the right thing to welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace.

"I am the queen, can't I even do this?" Queen Li felt aggrieved again.

Yan Huo said calmly: "It's true that you are the queen, but you have to think about who enthroned you as the queen?"

"It's Your Majesty..." Empress Li came to her senses and was scared for a moment, "Xiaoxiao, I almost offended Your Majesty's dragon power." If she insisted on welcomeing the Buddha's bones into the palace, her position as the queen would inevitably be unsatisfied. At that time, she would be afraid that she would be unstable.

Yan Huo smiled, "Empress, do you know what to do, right?"

"I have counted it, thank you, Xiaoxiao." Empress Li hugged Yan Hu.

"Don't thank you verbally, give me some rewards." Yan Hu stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

Queen Li patted her hands and said, "A car has been prepared for the tribute, so you can take it back to your house."

"Empress Xie." Yan Huo said with a slump.

"I've had lunch before leaving the palace." Queen Li smiled.

"Go to Fushou Palace to get to the Queen Mother." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Okay." Empress Li and Yan Huo stood up and went to Fushou Palace.

In the Fushou Palace, Empress Chen was telling her confidant female official that Empress Li wanted to welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace and worshipped her, "I really didn't expect that she was so obsessed with her belief in Buddhism. If she insisted on welcome the Buddha's bones into the palace, Your Majesty would have any objections to her. I am still able to protect her. If I am gone, her situation will be very difficult." The relationship between the emperor and Empress Li is not as deep as that of her and the late emperor. Perhaps it was because she was chosen by the late emperor, and Empress Li was chosen by her.

The emperor gave Empress Li the respect she deserved. She stayed in the Jiaofang Hall on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. In order to reflect the status of Empress Li, Feng and He, who gave birth to princes for him, were only named second-rank concubines and had no title. But that's all, no matter how many of them are.

"The Empress summoned the wife of the Prince of Anguo to the palace. The wife of Anguo is smart and can definitely persuade the Queen. Please relax, the Queen Mother." The female official comforted her.

"The late emperor back then...ah, it's better not to mention it, but he's melancholy." Empress Chen leaned against the cushion.

The palace maid came in, "Empress, Empress and Prince Anguo's wife asked for a meeting."

"Let them come in." Queen Mother Chen smiled.

Yan Huo came in and shouted, "Auntie, Xiaoxiao is here to eat. The Queen said that the roast duck made by a chef in the imperial kitchen is delicious, I want to eat it."

"A delicious girl, she is so greedy, why can't she eat fat? She looks like she's losing weight again." Empress Dowager Chen pinched Yan Hu's cheek affectionately.

"I haven't lost weight. I just weighed it yesterday, 82 pounds." Yan Huo laughed.

"I still lose weight, so I have to grow ten kilograms more, so I can only look good if I look at it." Queen Mother Chen smiled.

"Then I'll eat more today and gain weight." Yan Huo smiled.

When lunch was served, Princess Anle and Princess Yongle came with Yaya and Shen Weiwei. Chen Weiwei was Chen Mufan's second daughter, and Queen Li ordered her to be Princess Yongle's companion.

"Mom, why did you come into the palace?" Yaya threw herself into Yan Hu's arms. "If I had known you were going to enter the palace, I would have been waiting for you this morning."

"You entered the palace so early, I don't want to be with you." Yan Huo curled his lips. She didn't want to get up just now.

In the afternoon, Yaya had no classes and had lunch at Fushou Palace. Yanhu took his daughter home with her. She also had a car of tributes given to Yanhu by Queen Li.

After Yan Hu's persuasion, Empress Li no longer insisted on welcomeing Buddha bones into the palace. Empress Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "I was willing to listen to the advice at last."

The court officials no longer asked letters to advise. Emperor Tianyou ordered several major temples near the capital to worship these relics. The Xishi Temple in the city also obtained ten bone relics.
