Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 188: Confusing

After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's eyes widened suddenly. Is there really something fishy about the fact that the prayer for having a child in the Prajna Temple is effective?

Who on earth dares to do such filthy things in such an important place for Buddhism?

Oh my God... they are not afraid of being blamed by Buddha.

The other three ladies also widened their eyes in astonishment. The monks of the Huguo Temple were so despicable.

According to what Master Xiao Jiang said, wouldn't those ladies who went to the Prajna Temple to pray for children and succeeded in their wish be...

Oh my god…

If this matter were to become known, all those ladies would be disgraced, and perhaps some innocent people would be implicated.

Thinking about the wide range of implications of this matter, the ladies looked solemn and didn't know what to do.

Several girls also looked at each other secretly. This matter involved the Huguo Temple, which was related to the reputation of the court and the reputation of His Majesty...

Things are going to change.

The system said: [Host, the third monk from left to right in the second row and the fifth monk in the third row have both broken their vows of chastity.

However, I only saw them having affairs with the young nuns in the Prajna Temple, and I did not see them having any contact with the ladies who went to the Prajna Temple to pray for children. 】

Hearing this, the ladies subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just the monk from the Huguo Temple and the little nun having an affair, it wouldn't be too serious.

At worst, we can just kill all the monks and nuns who broke the precepts.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the two monks mentioned by the system and said thoughtfully: [Oh, why do I feel like I am seeing Conan? By the way, are all the monks of Huguo Temple here? ]

As soon as this question came up, the ladies who had just breathed a sigh of relief became nervous again.

Huguo Temple is the Huguo Temple of Daxia, with a large scale and strong incense. Your Majesty also attaches great importance to Buddhism, so the number of monks is much larger than that of ordinary Buddhist temples, naturally more than the ones in front of us.

In other words, there is something fishy about the matter of praying for a child in Prajna Temple.

The system replied: [No, this is only a small part of it. It would be too shabby for a dignified Huguo Temple to have only these few monks.]

[So... there must be something fishy going on in the Prajna Temple! ]

At this time, the chanting stopped.

The monks stood up from their cushions, turned around to look at the pilgrims outside the hall, then put their hands together, said "Amitabha", and dispersed.

Then, the old monk who had led the chanting said, "Please come in, donors."

The pilgrims put their hands together, nodded slightly, and walked in.

Jiang Yueyang followed everyone into the hall and looked at the decoration inside the Main Hall with curiosity.

Seeing the golden Buddha statue, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, it's really magnificent!

[Xiaogua, is this Buddha statue made of pure gold? ]

【yes. 】

The pilgrims in the temple were devoutly worshipping the Buddha and interpreting divination sticks and dreams, so they didn't pay much attention to Jiang Yueyang's thoughts and just thought of them as someone chatting nearby.

[Oh my god.] Jiang Yueyang was slightly surprised, [How much gold would this cost?]

[Many, many, this is also the main reason why the emperor is so poor now. ]

[Hmm?] Jiang Yueyang's curiosity was aroused, [Tell me more about it.]

[At that time, all the civil and military officials disagreed with building such a large Huguo Temple. But the emperor insisted on doing so, and they finally agreed reluctantly.

However, the civil and military officials firmly disagreed to spend money to build a pure gold Buddha statue.

Your father controls the national treasury and is only willing to pay for the gilded Buddha statue. Therefore, the emperor has no choice but to pay out of his own pocket.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, "I know your majesty is a Buddhist, but I didn't expect you to be so willing to spend money. So, is this Buddha statue your majesty's now, or does it belong to the Huguo Temple?"

【Huguo Temple belongs to the imperial court, so it naturally belongs to the imperial court.】

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang raised an eyebrow, [According to what you said, if the Buddha statue is recycled, wouldn't it be directly put into the national treasury? ]

[Yes. Your father and the civil and military officials had calculated this point, so they did not object to him using his own private money to build a pure gold Buddha statue.]

[Hahahaha...Your Majesty emptied his private money to fill the national treasury. He is really a good emperor who serves the country and the people. ]

The system responded with approval.

Madam Jiang and others: "..."

After hearing this, everyone present looked for the source of the sound curiously, but unfortunately Jiang Yueyang did not speak to the system again.

Mrs. Jiang called her to her side, and the mother and daughter knelt down in front of the Buddha together.

"Please, Buddha, bless my two children to have a safe and healthy life. May my son pass the imperial examination and my husband have a successful career..."

Hearing her mother making a bunch of wishes, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but say, "Mom, you are too greedy."

Mrs. Jiang paused as she made a wish, "..."

Jiang Yueyang realized that something was wrong with the aura, and quickly added, "When making a wish, you should make more wishes, so that you have a greater chance of getting what you want."

Hearing this, Wen Shuyan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As it stands now, it seems that only Mrs. Jiang can barely control the mischievous Yangyang.

Madam Jiang snorted, then picked up the fortune stick in front of her and handed it to her, "Make a wish for me and get a fortune stick."

"Yes~~" Jiang Yueyang took the lottery tube helplessly and gently closed her eyes, "Please Buddha bless our family with longevity and bless me to escape from the bitter sea of officialdom as soon as possible."

These two wishes touched Mrs. Jiang's heart, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Jiang Yueyang shook the stick tube, and soon a stick fell out with a sentence written on it: Misfortune lies behind good fortune, and good fortune lies behind misfortune.

Mrs. Jiang showed a worried look after seeing the content of the fortune. "This fortune is obscure and difficult to understand. Let's go find a master to interpret it."
