"The late prince was prudent, benevolent and benevolent. When the late emperor was in Japan, he always praised him for his kindness, cultivated him carefully, and assigned him state affairs. He should have been the best candidate for the great position. It is a pity that he was jealous of talents and fell down during the great hunting.
The horse was injured and died soon after. The late emperor felt the pain and couldn't get up. The affairs of the country were gradually weakened. The ministers and ministers thought that the country could not be preserved for a day. The late emperor agreed and wanted to appoint King Ming as the crown prince. But what happened?
The power of the king was so great that there were many disputes, so this proposal came to fruition. After that, the kings competed for supremacy in the court. Every time there were disputes, there were bloodsheds one after another. It lasted for a long time, and they couldn't compete. The feudal vassals even took action, and the situation in the court was in chaos..." Xuanming
The master's old eyes were half-lidded and half-opened, and he was talking nonchalantly. He slowly recounted some of the situations from that year, and Xiao Wei couldn't help but fall into a trance.
What Master Xuanming said was not too detailed, but the general context of the matter was made clear. It was not too different from what Xiao Wei had guessed privately - the death of the prince Xiao Shen was an unsolved case. It is said that
It was because the saddle's tether broke that the prince fell from galloping
He fell off his horse, broke his head, and died of his injuries. Afterwards, the saddle mysteriously disappeared. No one could tell what happened. For this reason, the late emperor was furious and could only
He could issue an edict to behead all the eunuchs, big and small, in the Royal Horse Prison, but he could only
The only way to relieve the anger was to save the prince's life. After the prince's death, all the ministers and ministers had their own support, and the court was in constant disputes. It took a year to decide on a candidate for the prince. Among the kings,
Emperor Hongxuan was actually not very outstanding at that time, and rarely compared with other kings.
Confrontation, but the one who had the last laugh was Emperor Hongxuan, an incredibly low-key prince. Poor Prince Ming spent all his efforts to eradicate the other brothers, but in the end, he made the wedding clothes for Emperor Hongxuan in vain.
He collapsed sadly on the eve of entering the East Palace.
When King Ming was in high spirits, he had many supporters. One of them was Mr. Shu Xuecheng, who was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at that time. He was also the most trusted minister of King Ming. However, the day before the incident, Mr. Shu happened to be away from the capital. It is said that he was ordered to do so.
He went to the former prince's mausoleum to inspect the construction progress. After he heard the news and rushed back to the capital, everything had already been settled. For this, Shu Xuecheng blamed himself, but he had no choice but to sit back and watch Emperor Hongxuan enter the Qing Palace.
,Shortly thereafter, the late emperor died of illness,
When Emperor Hongxuan ascended the throne, Shu Xuecheng did not want to serve Emperor Hongxuan, so he resolutely resigned and returned home, regardless of Emperor Hongxuan's request to stay. By chance, he learned that King Ming was not dead, but was living in the world, so he searched around in the world.
Ten years ago, I finally learned that King Ming was hiding in Shao
Lin Temple, and then found the Shaolin Temple, wanting to serve the old master again, but King Ming was already discouraged and refused to go out with Shu Xuecheng again. To clarify his ambition, he burned his face with a torch and vowed to meditate on Zen in the Zen room facing the wall.
Once you achieve Bodhi, you will never look back.
The words were all spoken by Master Xuanming. Xiao Wei could not guarantee how true they were. At least he did not think that King Ming came to the Shaolin Temple on his own, and he would not believe the so-called King Ming narrated by Master Xuanming.
Ruining his face and revealing his will is just because Xiao Wei already knew about King Ming after meeting him today.
In fact, he has not completely let go. In this case, this self-destructive face is very suspicious. In all likelihood, it was made up by Master Xuanming himself. When Xiao Wei thought about it, this injury was probably done by King Ming to ensure that Hong Hong
Emperor Xuan no longer made it difficult for himself and came up with life-saving tricks. From this point on
If you think about it carefully, you will know that there must be something fishy between Master Xuanming and Emperor Hongxuan. The reason why King Ming is here is most likely because Emperor Hongxuan sent it to Master Xuanming for care. Of course, this is just in Xiao Wei's mind
Xiao Wei is not completely sure whether this is the case, after all, he
There is no evidence in his hand. Besides, he is on Master Xuanming's territory right now. Xiao Wei is not stupid enough to question whether Master Xuanming's words are true and reliable. He just listens to them, but in his heart
I began to secretly wonder why Master Xuanming had invited me here.[
"Old benefactor Shu, a man of great talent in both civil and military affairs, can be called a strange man of his generation. However, he is still obsessed with it. It's a pity, it's a pity that accepting His Highness as his disciple is just to "challenge" the government. Now that His Highness knows the cause and effect, he should do something
choose
I have chosen, Amitabha, good, good." After Master Xuanming rambled on about the past, he saw Xiao Wei sitting upright and seemed to have no intention of speaking, so he shook his head and sighed.
Choice? What a choice. Is it possible that I want to imitate King Ming and try to show my failure by destroying my face? That’s nonsense! When Xiao Wei saw what Master Xuanming said, he immediately felt angry in his heart, but he didn’t dare to bring it to his face.
When he came up, he just raised his hands and said: "This junior is ignorant and doesn't know what the choice the master means. Please make it clear."
Master Xuanming clasped his hands on his chest and pronounced the name of the Buddha: "Amitabha, I tested Your Highness with three formations. It is known that Your Highness has a kind heart and is not a "treacherous" person. However, there are constant disputes in the world today, and the situation in the court is unstable, or
There is going to be great chaos. If chaos breaks out and the people suffer, how can your Highness bear it? Although I am a foreigner, I can't bear to sit back and watch the lives of people in ruins. I also ask Your Highness to stop and do not do anything to "rebell" the government again.
Really?"
Fuck your mother's bitch! As soon as Xiao Wei heard this, his expression changed instantly, and he almost cursed, but fortunately he reacted quickly and swallowed the curse words that were about to come to his mouth.
He turned back, took a deep breath, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and said calmly: "Master is compassionate and considerate of all the people in the world. I admire him. However, the monks are good at managing the affairs of the court. Master does not think it is too much."
What?"
"Amitabha, it's my fault, it's my fault. I only advise people to be kind and don't dare to engage in politics as a monk. Doesn't Your Highness care about the common people?" Master Xuanming was not angry because of Xiao Wei's words and continued to persuade him earnestly.
.
Damn it, you bald old thief, who has seen me messing with the government? You just eat carrots and don't worry about it, so you are too lenient! Xiao Wei rolled his eyes and shook his head in frustration.
Said: "Master, you are wrong. Who dares to stand up and confront me on the spot if he says that I am in chaos? A treacherous and sycophantic person will only slander in secret, and rats are rampant."
Crazy! I think that since I entered the court and became an official, I have always been conscientious and conscientious, and I have not dared to betray His Majesty's great trust. I have worked hard to discuss horse administration affairs, or the Northern War against the Three Feudatories, and now I have been called "chaotic" government.
, How embarrassing is this king’s situation? Master, let me tell you where I have done something wrong. If so, I should commit suicide to thank the world!”
Xiao Wei's words were so rude that even the juniors were spared. He called himself the king as soon as he opened his mouth, without saving any face for Master Xuanming. Although he did not point his finger at Master Xuanming's nose and scold the bald donkey, there was something in his words.
That's what he meant outside, and with his impassioned words, Master Xuanming was really stunned for a moment.
"Amitabha, sin, sin." When asked by Xiao Wei, Master Xuanming really couldn't tell that Xiao Wei was messing with the government. After all, Xiao Wei had always been secretive in his work, and there was no way there could be any evidence at all.
In the hands of others, not even Emperor Hongxuan could do anything to Xiao Wei, let alone Master Xuanming. At this time, Xiao Wei asked and made him speechless. Master Xuanming could only use the title of "Xianfo" to excuse him.
"A tutor is a tutor, and I return to my own right. Master, please don't get confused. My actions are worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of the people below. I need others to teach me how to behave! Shaolin, as a sacred place of Zen forest, should promote Buddhism.
Now, he is presumptuously asking questions about politics and putting the cart before the horse. If things continue like this, he is afraid that a big disaster will come.
, I hope Master will think twice, I'm leaving!" Xiao Wei lost his temper and refused to give Master Xuanming face at all. He didn't believe that Master Xuanming dared to openly harm himself, so he said in a cold voice, almost in a scolding tone.
After a while, he stood up regardless, brushed his sleeves, and headed out.
"Your Highness, wait!" Seeing Xiao Wei about to leave, Master Xuanming waved his sleeves, and a soft yet irresistible force burst out, blocking Xiao Wei's body.
"What? Master, do you want to force me to keep you?" Xiao Wei was blocked by his energy and did not force a breakthrough. Instead, he suddenly turned around, stared at Master Xuanming with his eyes as sharp as knives, and asked in a cold voice.
.
Facing such an unfathomable master master as Master Xuanming, Xiao Wei dared to be so strong. Naturally, he was sure that the reason why Shaolin Temple could stand firm in the Dayin Dynasty was not the so-called force.
complete
To the imperial army, the so-called military force is nothing more than a joke. It would be easy to send out a large army to annihilate them. Even if there are some powerful martial arts masters such as Master Xuanming who can barely escape, the foundation of Shaolin will not be able to survive.
It is doomed to be destroyed. In fact, the reason why Shaolin Temple can enjoy exclusive honor is, to put it bluntly, it is amazing. It is just because Shaolin Temple always stands on the side of the winner. However, the situation is not yet clear, so Xiao Wei
I don’t believe Xuan Mingda
The master dared to use the Shaolin Temple's foundation as a bet. Since the two sides were at odds, Xiao Wei naturally let go of his awe. After all, there were two great masters behind Xiao Wei, and he was not afraid that Master Xuanming would dare to
Publicly embarrass yourself.
"Amitabha, Your Highness, please suspend your anger and allow me to say something." Master Xuanming is well-known in the world, and he is the revered master. Even Emperor Hongxuan had to politely call him master when he saw him.
But today, I was actually pointed at and scolded by a junior like Xiao Wei. I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, after all, I couldn't refute Xiao Wei in theory, but I could only endure the persuasion.
"Master, do you have any other teachings?" After Xiao Wei had an outburst, he did not say any more unpleasant words, but the word "besides" made his attitude clear, which was to tell Master Xuanming that those
There is no need to bring out the nonsense of so-called "chaos" in government.
Master Xuanming was indeed as Xiao Wei expected. He was just asked to persuade Xiao Wei. In fact, it was not entirely his original intention. Of course, the reason why Master Xuanming agreed to persuade Xiao Wei this time was
In fact, he also has the consideration of asking for help for the stability of the country, but it is really impossible for him to take advantage of the Shaolin Temple.
At this time, Xiao Wei was persuaded by the law and stopped thinking about it. He put his hands together and declared the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, since the donor has lofty aspirations, I dare not stop him. If your highness can do something,
I also hope to treat the people of the world well, I have said this, if there is any offense, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Master's kind words, Xiao Wang, should keep them in mind. If there is any offense, please allow Xiao Wang to come back to apologize in the future. It's getting late. Xiao Wang takes his leave." Xiao Wei has always respected me a foot and I respect others a foot, since Xuan Ming
The master softened his tone, and Xiao Wei was not too proud of himself. He bowed and saluted solemnly, flicked his sleeves, Yang Chang left the monastery, and walked away...
