"Hahaha, I don't think Ama Khan will believe it." When Yinreng heard Kangxi's serious answer, he couldn't help laughing a few times. He looked at their Ama Khan's expressionless black face, and the corners of his mouth curved more and more.
It got smaller and smaller, and the voice became lower and lower, until finally he lowered his head and became completely silent.
Seeing that the prince's first brother/first brother, who was usually the most favored and most eloquent in front of their Khan Ama, was no longer lovable, Yinti had no choice but to scratch the blue-black warm hat he wore on his head with his right hand.
, holding back a sentence to slap the dragon's fart, and said with a silly smile:
"Looking around, it turns out that Khan Amma is the smartest. Eunuch Liang believed our rhetoric before."
When Xing Chi heard this, his eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself that this eldest grandson is really stupid.
Yinzhen and Ke Jing, who were standing side by side next to Yinzhen, did not have to face the face of Khan's angry fire-breathing dragon because they were not tall enough, but they looked at their two brothers who were having nothing to say in an awkward conversation.
,
She also curled up her toes inside her boots in embarrassment, wishing that her toes were not strong enough to dig a hole out of the ground under her feet so that the four of them could hide underground together.
Kangxi was still very puzzled at first. Liang Jiugong was guarding the door for him at the south wall in front. How on earth did the four brothers and sisters sneak quietly under the window sill of the north wall in the back and eavesdrop? After listening to Yin Ti's words
After that, I almost understood how the four of them deceived Liang Jiugong. He was so angry that his hands hanging by his sides were shaking, and the breath all over his body became colder. He squinted his eyes and said softly:
"Stop talking nonsense, you four little bastards, get out of here as soon as possible. If it's a little later, I won't even be sure how to punish you!"
Hearing that Khan and Ama were so angry that they called them "little bastards" regardless of their self-cultivation, the four brothers and sisters realized that they had really lost their way this time, and they all turned around in silence with their heads down in understanding.
With their bodies and necks shrunk, they turned into frightened quails and walked forward in a line.
Liang Jiugong, who was leaning against the outer wall of the front door and basking in the sun, suddenly heard the emperor's furious roar coming from the inner room. He was so frightened that he stood up straight. He was lying on the persimmon tree and taking a nap with his eyes closed.
The cat was also frightened and ran away along the branches.
Liang Jiugong held the warm hat that was tilted on one side of his head with his hand and turned to look at the door of the meditation room. He was debating whether to open the door and go in to see what was going on in the inner room. The next moment he saw four people.
The brother and sister turned the corner and appeared in front of him dejectedly.
When I saw the four brothers and sisters, except for the eldest brother, who had some dust stuck to the hem of his navy blue winter robe, the other three were all clean, including their hands, which were very white. How could they do anything on their own in the mountains and forests?
How about gathering dry firewood and setting up a fire to eat barbecue?
He couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Brother, His Royal Highness, didn't I say that the Emperor won't allow anyone to come in and disturb me? What are you doing?"
"Liang Shuda, Khan Amma asked the four of us to go in and listen to Master Xingchi's explanation of Buddhist scriptures."
Yinti took a few steps forward and put his hands on the door of the meditation room, pushed the door open with a creaking sound, turned his head guiltily and said these words to Liang Jiugong, who looked dumbfounded, and then moved nimbly like a fish. He slid in like a duck.
When the thoughtful Liang Jiugong heard this, he immediately connected the frustrated looks of the four brothers and sisters with the emperor's roar just now. His eyes widened. What else could he not understand? These four clever little masters had already guessed Now that they have reached the status of Master Xingchi, they are not greedy for meat, but they are clearly greedy for the secret of their Hanma Dharma!
He thought that he was the dignified chief eunuch of Qianqing Palace, and thought that he was alert enough. How could he have imagined that one day he would be deceived by the four brothers and sisters, the oldest of whom was only eleven years old? Liang Jiugong wished he could go back in time and wake up his "stupid" self with a big-eared scraper to keep them secret from Long Live Master about sneaking away to the back mountain to eat barbecue!
Seeing Eunuch Liang across from him with a face that was like lightning and doubting life, the remaining Yinreng, Yinzhen, and Kejing also waved to him in a guilty conscience, and hurriedly followed their elder brother's steps and raised their legs. Crossed the threshold and entered the Zen room.
After the three of them entered, they saw their eldest brother standing in front of a bamboo screen with a large Chinese character "Buddha" written in gold and ink regular script, waiting for them.
Although they walked around the wall outside to find the best place to squat in the corner, they knew that the area of their Hanmafa Zen room was not small.
But when the four of them actually walked in, they saw this large Zen room facing the sun from the north to the south, divided into three doors from east to west.
The room with the gray-brown cotton curtain on the west side of the screen is probably the living room and the bedroom. The small room with two sliding doors on the east side of the screen should be the clean room for daily washing. As for the room behind the screen, I think with my toes, I know for sure. This is the hall where guests are entertained.
Just as they were thinking about what to say after seeing their Khan Amma, the cold snort of their Khan Amma with a hint of impatience came from behind the screen:
"What are you four sneaky cats looking at behind the screen? Why don't you get over here quickly!"
When the four brothers and sisters heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in frustration. You pushed me to open the door. Finally, Princess Kejing led the three "waste" brothers who were all taller than her and walked around the screen dejectedly.
The old monk Xing Chi looked at his little granddaughter who was walking towards him with his brothers. She was wearing a pink winter robe, she was cute and had a dash of heroic spirit between her eyebrows. A smile quickly flashed across her slender red phoenix eyes. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes also showed a few ripples.
Looking at the three sons hiding behind his sister, Kangxi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, feeling that his three sons were really promising!
He originally thought that as soon as they came in, he would slap his sons on the head, but when he saw the leader walking at the front, his poor and beautiful little daughter could not lift her big hands hanging by her sides. He got up and simply sat back on his armchair.
The three brothers, who were very familiar with the nature of their Khan Ama who was extremely angry and wanted to hit others, all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, thinking that letting their sister go ahead was indeed the right and wise move!
"Ge, duck! Sister Shi, sister~"
At this time, Xiao Yinzhen's sweet milky voice also came from the north wall.
The four brothers and sisters followed the sound and looked towards the north wall, and saw the twins using their two chubby little hands to pull the edge of the window sill and standing on the single bamboo bed against the wall. The little fourteen even raised his right leg and stood upright.
He stood up like a horse, hugged his raised legs with his little hands, and looked at them with a smile.
After seeing this, they finally understood why the glass window was opened by Xiao Shisi. Apparently, when they were squatting in the corner and eavesdropping, the twins across the wall were sitting on the bamboo bed and playing.
When they accidentally fell off the horse and exposed their secrets, the nearest one, Xiao Shisi, stood up quickly holding on to the wall, opened the window with his little hands and called to them cheerfully like a little fool.
Kangxi watched the four brothers and sisters come in. Instead of admitting their mistake to him, they all looked at the twins with troubled expressions. He couldn't help but frown and patted the small square table beside him with his right hand.
The steaming tea cup placed on the square table vibrated up and down due to Kangxi's movements. When the four brothers and sisters heard the sound of banging on the table, they all turned their attention from the twins by the north wall to Khan sitting not far from the screen.
On Amma and Khan Mafa.
"Tell me, how long have you been outside and what have you heard? Don't try to deceive me with lies. Tell me honestly one by one, starting with Yinti first."
When Yinreng, Yinzhen and Kejing heard this, they couldn't help coughing twice. Yinreng even bumped his elder brother with his left elbow, signaling Yinti not to finish everything at once and leave some for the three of them.
The space door where children play.
This time, the rare tacit understanding between brothers came into play. Yinti glanced left and right with his litchi eyes, looking east and west but not looking at Kangxi, and said angrily:
"Khan Ama, when I heard you talking to the master about your political achievements over the years, I wanted to dig out that bad old man Obai from the coffin and scold him in front of the master until his mouth was bleeding. He was so bloody that he personally
Take a whip and beat him to death."
"What are you talking about?"
Yinti's words were so destructive that they made both Kangxi and Xingchi feel uncomfortable.
Kangxi thought that as his son, it was okay for him to tell his Khan Amma about his political achievements and complaints, but when his son exposed his words to his face, he felt that he was losing face and was a little embarrassed.
The old monk Xingchi also put the cup of tea in his hand on the small square table. He couldn't drink anymore. His son only talked about whipping corpses, but when he was young and ignorant, he whipped his fourteenth uncle himself.
Prince Rui, Dorgon, was not only the regent but also the
He acted as a puppet emperor, and even named himself "Emperor Father and Regent", trying to make the following people think of him as his father. He and his mother pinched their noses and bowed their heads and endured it for so long. When he finally regained the power and took charge, he still didn't
Should he be allowed to whip his corpse himself to vent his anger?
Yinreng saw that as soon as his elder brother finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became even weirder. He stepped forward with a smile and pointed at the twins on the bamboo bed and said:
"Khan Ama, I heard you tell the master many interesting stories about Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen in Chuxiu Palace, and I also heard you two say that little Master Zhikong was born with Buddha's hands."
"Tai, paper, Ge, Ge!"
When the prince brother finally called them, the twins were so happy that they took two steps on the bamboo bed.
Yinzhen and Kejing saw that Yinreng had told everything about Zhikong, and they knew that the previous things could not be concealed, so they had no choice but to turn their heads and glance at each other, and said in unison:
"Khan Ama, we both also heard the truth about how Khan Amafa faked his death and left the palace."
The brother and sister broke through the last layer of window paper together, and everyone in the hall fell silent except for the twins who were not yet sensible.
Kangxi saw that the four brothers and sisters were almost hiding outside and listening from beginning to end. He was so angry that the veins on his forehead were exposed. He turned the jade ring on his hand very fast. Still unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he stood up from the armchair.
He slapped the three sons on the head from low to high. When it was the little girl's turn, although her movements were much gentler, she still curled her fingers and hit Ke Jing on the forehead.
After beating him once, most of the anger in Kangxi's heart was gone.
In the bottom of his heart, he actually had no dissatisfaction with his son and daughters for guessing the identity of his Khan Amma. After all, Qingliang Temple would be regarded as his Khan Amma’s former residence from now on, and he didn’t want to wait a hundred years for Mount Wutai to disappear again.
No descendants come to visit.
He was so angry that the four brothers and sisters lied to Liang Jiugong and eavesdropped on the emperor in various ways. Fortunately, they were his own flesh and blood. If they were ordinary people, and they were labeled as deceiving the emperor, that person's nine clans
They all lay in the coffin!
The four brothers and sisters also knew that they were making a big fuss this time. Even though their foreheads were red, they did not dare to say anything.
"No, fight!"
When the twins saw this scene, they hurriedly let out a quick little milky sound, dangled their short legs, and stuck out their buttocks precariously in an attempt to slide off the bamboo bed.
Xing Chi couldn't help but sigh, stood up from the armchair, walked a few steps to the bamboo bed and stopped the two grandsons who were about to get off the ground wearing only white socks, leaned over and hugged the two little brothers, and turned around again
He walked up to Kangxi to smooth things over and said:
"Your Majesty, calm down your anger and let it go this time. I see that these children have admitted their mistake. Their intelligence is a blessing to the Qing Dynasty."
"Yes, Khan Ama, we won't dare to eavesdrop on your corner next time."
Yinti hurriedly beat the snake and put it on the stick, and smiled to please Kangxi.
When Kangxi heard what his Khan Ama said, he still held back the remaining half of the anger in his heart. He couldn't get up and swallow it. He felt that his children were really too smart. It took a lot of time for them to live in Qingliang Temple.
On the first day here, these four brothers and sisters overturned their old foundation of Khan and Mafa. How smart are they? They look like four rogue monkeys!
He stretched out his hand to take the twins from his mother's arms, and said coldly to the four siblings:
"I forgive you this time, but I like you to remember this matter firmly. In the future, you will know what you can do and what you can't touch. When you return to the wing, what can you say and what can you say?
Can't say."
"Since you have the strength to squat outside for so long, I don't think you need to eat tonight's dinner. You can just stay in the room and think about your mistakes!"
"Yes, Khan Ama obeys."
The four brothers and sisters resigned themselves to their fate and bowed as they bowed.
"And after we return to the palace, Yinzhen will copy "Historical Records" a hundred times, Yinzhen will write two hundred memorials, Yinzhen will practice three hundred more arrows, and Ke Jing will embroider ten handkerchiefs.
.”
Yinzhen, who loves martial arts but hates literature, Yinzhen, who likes literature but hates martial arts, Yinreng, who loves reading memorials but hates writing reviews, and Ke Jing, who hates holding an embroidery needle and being a female prostitute.
This was such a precise punishment for the four brothers and sisters that their faces turned green.
When Yinti thought of the thick "Historical Records", he wanted to hit the wall. With a small hope, he raised his head and looked at Kangxi eagerly and asked:
"Khan Ama, can I just copy it eighty times? If I really have to copy it a hundred times, I will probably want to vomit when I see the book "Historical Records" in the future?"
Kangxi, who was holding the twins in his arms, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his eldest son's sincere appeal, and glanced sideways at Yinti and said:
"Why, Baoqing doesn't like copying "Historical Records"?"
Yinreng secretly thought that something was wrong. Before he could stop his stupid brother, he heard Yinti nod with longing and said "yes" repeatedly.
"Okay, then you can change it to "Zi Zhi Tong Jian"."
"What?"
Yinti was stunned instantly. "Zizhi Tongjian" is thicker than "Historical Records"!
Yinreng saw from the corner of his eye that his elder brother was still about to speak, so he bumped him hard with his elbow, obediently leaned over and saluted:
"Khan Ama, we remember it, and we will definitely complete the mission well."
Yinzhen lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot. He couldn't express his sorrow. He bit his lower lip and bowed to their Khan Ama in aggrieved manner. Yinzhen and Ke Jing followed closely behind.
, expressed their attitude, and with the elder brother's lessons learned, the two of them did not dare to bargain with their own Khan Ama.
Kangxi looked at the four brothers and sisters who looked like they were about to cry but couldn't, and the anger in his heart was completely eliminated. Based on his understanding of the four children, he could guess at a glance, and he was the first to guess the identity of his own Khan.
The person must be Yinfeng, but the person who can propose such a harmful method of coming to eavesdrop on his corner must be the impulsive and reckless Yinti.
I think the four brothers and sisters will have a lot of memories after this experience!
Seeing that his son had finished educating his grandson and granddaughter, Xing Chi turned around and walked to the pine table in the center of the hall, untied the blue cloth bag placed on it, took out a golden stick from the cloth bag, and pointed it at Kangxi
The others laughed and said:
"While I was traveling abroad, I unexpectedly got another good thing from a foreigner. Your Majesty, please come and have a look."
When the father and son heard what he said, they all moved forward curiously.
"Khan Mafa, what is this?"
If you have already shouted out the first call, it will not be difficult to call out again.
Ke Jing looked at the stick in the hand of the old monk Xingchi, which was covered with golden particles. The surface of the particles was very smooth. From the appearance alone, this thing looked quite beautiful. He couldn't help but asked sweetly with a smile on his face.
One sentence.
The three brothers standing on the ground also stretched their necks and took a look into the blue cloth pockets on the table, and found that there were seven or eight lying in a mess inside.
Kangxi also lowered his head and carefully identified it for a long time and found that he had never seen such a thing before. Just when his little daughter asked him a question that he was concerned about, he also looked at the old monk Xing Chi standing next to him with confusion.
The twins were at the age where they wanted to stuff everything they saw into their mouths. They bent down in his arms and took out a smaller golden stick from their blue cloth pocket.
Yinreng saw Little Thirteen and Little Fourteen touching and picking at the surface of the stick with their chubby little hands. Little Fourteen was planning to nibble on it with her white baby teeth. Her eyelids twitched and she hurriedly raised her hand.
He took the sticks out of the twins' hands.
"ah!"
After the twins came to their senses, they hurriedly stretched out their short arms to grab the prince brother's hand.
Kangxi also took two steps back and asked his two young sons to stay away from the pine table.
These two little ones are really big-hearted and want to stuff everything they see into their mouths, even if they don't make sense.
"Khan Mafa, what on earth is this? Can you eat it?"
Yinti took out a stick from Yinreng's hand, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, then turned it up and down, looked at Xingchi with curiosity and asked.
Xing Chi smiled and said: "This kind of thing is called 'corn', also called 'maize'. Like the sweet potatoes grown in the back mountains, they are high-yielding grain seeds commonly grown by foreigners. Sow a seed from it into the ground
When it matures, it will produce a stick."
"No way. Doesn't that mean that the stick in my hand can be exchanged for hundreds of sticks in the next year?"
Yinti's eyes widened and she couldn't hide her surprise and asked.
Kangxi was also shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his two young sons and came forward, carefully looking at the corn in Yinti's hand.
Yinzhen put his hands behind his back and shook his head: "Brother, all seeds have a germination rate. Not all the seeds on your stick will germinate, but if one-third of the seeds can germinate, it will be considered a high yield.
ah!"
When Kangxi heard what Yinzhen said, he quickly put the two brothers in his arms on the pine table. As if he had discovered a treasure, he also took out a corn cob from his blue cloth pocket and stroked it gently.
, asked Xing Chi beside him in surprise:
"Khan Amma, are you telling the truth? Is this corn really capable of growing into bunches like sweet potatoes?"
Xing Chi saw that his son was so excited that he stopped calling him master, and he also smiled and said:
"This corn is like those fruit trees. The cobs grow on the branches. It is different from the sweet potatoes planted in the ground. I heard this from the foreigners who believed in Jesus. They are used to eating this in their own country.
Grow food, but how to grow corn, I have to try it myself before I can draw a conclusion. If I'm lucky, I may be able to let everyone taste the taste of corn cobs in the coming years."
Hearing this, everyone present was happy.
Yinzhen couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
"Khan Ma Fa, in fact, I, Guo Luo Ma Fa, also offered sweet potatoes before, and Khan Ama also sent them to the imperial village for planting, but there seems to be no good news. How can you be better than those old farmers?
Can you manage crops?"
When Xing Chi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and turned to look at Kangxi beside him.
Although Kangxi didn't want to admit that he had seen sweet potatoes before, he thought that the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Huangzhuang did not produce any results, so he explained seriously:
"Khan Ama, what Xiaosi said is right. There are not only sweet potatoes but also potatoes in Huangzhuang. I wonder if you recognize potatoes. They are also a food of foreigners. Like sweet potatoes, they grow underground.
"
"Farmers have plowed the land, applied farmyard manure, and planted a whole potato. Although some potatoes will grow at the root when it matures, it is far from worthy of the reputation of this high-yielding grain.
In addition, it is easy to sprout and turn green. Eating sprouted potatoes can easily make people dizzy and pose a risk of food poisoning. Xuan Ye now also doesn’t know what to do with this ingredient. It’s a pity to abandon it, but he still mentions it.
Without increasing its yield, it seems quite useless."
When Xing Chi heard the words, he frowned and thought deeply for a moment, trying hard to search for memories in his mind. After a while, he answered aloud:
"Your Majesty, I only have more than ten years of farming experience. I am definitely not as good as those old farmers. After I get this kind of food, I will ask the foreigners in detail about their planting methods. There are good and bad foreigners.
There are enthusiastic and enthusiastic people who are also interested in Buddhism and are willing to tell me how to plant seeds."
"After the sweet potatoes are planted whole, when the sweet potato seedlings grow out, those green and tender sweet potato seedlings will take root and sprout when planted in the soil. And potatoes, if I remember correctly, I heard a preacher before
Some foreigners casually said that after this plant sprouts, you should cut the whole potato into small pieces according to the buds, and only one bud piece can grow."
"What? Potatoes are grown like this?"
In Kangxi's understanding, the plants he knew were planted from whole seeds. Some seeds were damaged and could not even sprout buds. Who had ever seen potatoes cut into pieces and planted according to the buds?
Yes?
If a potato is divided into several pieces, and each piece of potato can grow a bunch of potatoes, the output will be directly increased four to five times! Then the problem of food poisoning caused by turning blue will not be a problem.
!
The reason why he doesn't promote potatoes at the moment is because he thinks they are not that high-yielding and it is not cost-effective for ordinary people to grow them. If the yield of potatoes really increases, it will be worthwhile for hungry people to grow them. Potatoes cannot be planted at all.
When it turned green and sprouted, it was eaten up by the common people!
"That's what the foreigner said, but I never verified what he said because I didn't have potatoes in my hand."
Xing Chi said it seriously.
"It's okay. When Xuan Ye returns to the capital, he will immediately notify the people in the imperial village and ask them to follow this method and try it out next year."
Kangxi couldn't hide the heat in his heart, stared at the corn on the table and said loudly.
After hearing these words, Yinreng said with emotion and sigh:
"The sweet potatoes on the Huangzhuang and the sweet potatoes on the back mountain are the same thing, but because the old farmers on the Zhuangzi don't know much about Western learning, can't speak Western languages, and can't communicate with foreigners, that's why they haven't found the right sweet potato grower for a long time.
The correct method is Western learning! It’s really an interesting knowledge!”
Kangxi couldn't help but stiffen when he heard that his precious son was mentioning "Western learning" in every possible way.
Although Xing Chi didn't understand why his grandson suddenly mentioned Western learning, a light flashed in his eyes. He also stroked the gray beard at his chin with his right hand and continued to laugh along with Yin Reng's words:
"Your Highness is right. I traveled with Master Linghui this time and visited many places. I also met many foreigners from various countries in the south. I found that the West has indeed begun to develop in recent years. It is not just the West.
I also saw that the small country of Japan was also developing continuously, and I felt that their maritime development has been getting faster and faster in recent years."
When Yinti heard the word "maritime affairs", his eyes lit up. He quickly put the corn cobs in his hands on the table and asked with interest:
"Khan Mafa, can you explain it in detail?"
"Khan Amma once said: 'The Japanese country is the most capricious, its people are very humble, and they don't know the kindness in the world, so you can't give it any good looks.'"
"Khan Amma has always looked down upon that island country. He thought it was a bad place. Before, I heard from the sinology masters in the Chancellery that the Japanese country was very poor. There were no good things in the remote areas and there were still earth dragons there.
Frequent incidents mean that it is not a safe island. Is the maritime development there very strong? Are there many large ships and navies that go to sea?"
"Hahahaha, the emperor's evaluation of the Japanese country is quite fair."
After Xing Chi listened to his eldest grandson's words, he looked at Yin Ti's shining litchi eyes and shook his head with a smile:
"In Lao Na's view, although this Japanese country is not big, its people are very enterprising. If you think about it, they could not come to us across the strait before. During the Tang Dynasty, the land under our feet was so prosperous that all nations came to congratulate us.
You see, they can find a way to send Tang
They came across the ocean to study here and learn about the advanced technology and various cultures of the Tang Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, their maritime affairs had developed to the point where they could frequently harass our coastal provinces and become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
I have a headache, and I can’t get rid of the Japanese plague.”
"The Japanese people have gone from being students who studied with us to becoming enemies and invaders that invaded us. This not only shows that they do not have such fine qualities as benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust in their bones, but it also allows us to see the speed of development of this country."
"This time I went as far south as Fujian, where I met many Japanese people, and I heard them praise the West. I heard they said that their king had sent people to study in the West.
When I heard this, I felt deeply worried."
"I studied Western learning with Tang Ruowang when I was young. I know this knowledge. Now I see Western learning being spread all over the world with these missionaries from various countries. I am afraid that in a hundred years, this Western learning will become something that is blooming everywhere. If we
If we don’t keep up in time, we may fall one step behind others, and our descendants may not be able to compare with others.”
"Khan Mafa, what you said is so good!"
After patiently listening to Xing Chi's long words, Yin Reng's auspicious eyes became as bright as Yin Ti's. She looked at him with admiration, and her heart changed a lot towards the wayward Shunzhi.
, thinking that no wonder this young man had the courage to give up his throne and become a monk. With his level of enlightenment and forward-looking vision, he was much more open-minded than Khan Amar!
Kangxi also frowned and listened to every word of his Khan Amma's words.
In fact, he is not pedantic. It's not that he doesn't know these things. It's just that he is on the throne now. He will inevitably worry about the inheritance of the Aixinjueluo clan's throne in the future. His Khan Ama doesn't care about anything now. He has become a world-famous person.
People can naturally look at these things calmly.
Although he believed that he did not have the courage to abandon the overwhelming power and wealth, he could clearly see what would happen to the civil society in a hundred years if Western learning was really spread and the people were enlightened.
Something happened!
They Manchus don't even care about the eldest son inheritance system, let alone the opening of Western learning classes. Because the Manchu people are small, there are even fewer people to participate in the imperial examination. Fundamentally speaking, this matter is actually out of reach.
How much of their actual interests, but let those who have been deeply immersed in Confucius and Mencius since childhood
Confucian scholar-bureaucrats and numerous students know that the imperial court is going to promote Western learning. These people regard Confucianism as their own belief, and they are not open to it. This is not a good move, but it will offend all scholars in the world.
Well, it’s really not something you can do just by slapping your forehead!
Xing Chi saw his son's troubled expression in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In fact, these words had been hidden in his heart for a long time, which was why he knew clearly that Kangxi was coming to Mount Wutai, and after getting the news, he took Junior Brother Zhikong to say goodbye to Master Linghui and hurriedly returned to the temple.
But he only had this idea in mind. He didn't expect that God would allow the father and son to meet on the mountain road, which proved that God also wanted him to say these words.
Although the other three children who were studying could not understand the obsession of the prince's first brother/brother to persuade Khan Amma to spread Western learning, they also knew the benefits of this knowledge as they also had Western learning classes.
Ke Jing glanced at the glass window on the north wall and saw that the sun was setting outside the window and the sky was getting a little dark. Knowing that today's topic of Western learning would be fruitless, she smiled and asked her curious question.
"Khan Mafa, what exactly is a Buddha's hand? What does that Buddha's hand look like? My elder brother said that little master Zhikong always wears short five-finger gloves on his hands."
When Xing Chi heard his granddaughter's question, he turned his head and glanced at the sky, knowing that it was already late for dinner.
Facing the curious gazes of several grandchildren, the granddaughter raised her hands, facing them with her palms, and explained with a smile:
"The five fingers of the hands of normal people like us are all clearly defined. The so-called 'Buddha's hand' means that the doors between the fingers are connected by thin webs. One of the thirty-one signs of Buddha is the 'web of webs between the fingers'
, people with this kind of Buddha image are said in Buddhist scriptures that they
He has gone through many reincarnations and tribulations, been a good person for several lives, done many good deeds and accumulated many blessings, so this kind of "Buddha's Hand" was born in this life. Therefore, Zhi Kong was killed by Lao Na's master when he was still in his infancy.
I’m closing my discipleship for Harvest.”
"It turns out that little Tang Monk is so powerful! No wonder he has to wear gloves all the time."
Yinti was stunned for a while when he heard it. Thinking of the soles of duck's feet, he finally had an understanding of the Buddha's hand. Now he felt that Zhikong's Tang Monk filter was so tightly welded that he couldn't even buckle it off.
The 11-month-old twins neither understand high-yielding grains, nor do they understand Western learning or what Buddha's hand is.
The two of them knew that they had not seen E Niang all afternoon. They looked at Khan Ama, Khan Mafa, and their brothers and sisters were still talking to each other incessantly, which made their little heads confused.
Sitting cross-legged on the pine table, Xiao Yinxiang shook his dizzy little head, opened his mouth and yawned loudly, pulled the round ears of the tiger hat on his head with his small hands, pushed the round ears down and then popped them up.
He furrowed his light yellow eyebrows, thinking about when his mother would carry him and his fourteenth brother back to find his mother.
Xiao Yinzhen was not as reserved as Xiao Yinxiang. He wanted to go back to find his mother, so he leaned out his body and stretched out his short arms. He used his small hands to pull their Khan Ama to him domineeringly, raised his little head and opened his mouth.
Yawning, Bian Nai shouted:
"Mama, I need some coolness. I'm hungry."
The old monk Xingchi, who had not yet seen his grandson as a doll, suddenly pulled his tall son to him lightly. The next moment, he saw Xiao Shisi holding the black winter robe in his hand.
The unicorn pattern embroidered with gold thread was broken...
The corners of Master Xingchi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he believed from the bottom of his heart that his little grandson was a strong man with natural powers.
