After walking out of the main hall, Chao Yong's face darkened. Literature Museum
The people waiting in the hall were all Jiangnan women. Listening to the Wu language being murmured, I couldn't help but think of Fang Baihua.
He led his troops south, but the beauty had already passed away.
The further south you go, the hotter the weather becomes.
The flowers and trees in Huzhou Yamen are still lush and lush, but Chao Yong's mood is waning.
As he was walking leisurely, he heard a report from the soldiers behind him: "Baron Tong Guan wants to see you."
Chao Yong stopped and turned around. He saw Tong Guan waiting in the distance and nodded to the soldiers to let him come over.
Tong Guan was already over sixty years old at this time, but he had been leading troops all year round. He had a very strong body, dark skin, and dozens of beards on his chin. He looked like a veteran on the battlefield, not like a eunuch in the palace.
When he arrived, Tong Guan bowed and said, "Tong Guan pays homage to the prince."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Excuse me, what can I do?"
Tong Guan said cautiously: "There are three thousand soldiers and horses in the city who were the villain's former soldiers. They are all elites of the Western Army. It would be a pity if they were disarmed and returned to the fields like other soldiers and horses. Therefore, the villain boldly asked the prince to continue to let them go. Serving in the military."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "I know this. In a few days, there will be recruitment in Zhejiang Road. If they are willing to continue serving in the army, they can apply."
Tong Guan originally wanted his soldiers to directly follow the prince to perform meritorious deeds. Hearing what the prince said, he was a little disappointed. But he did not dare to say more, so he could only say: "Thank you, prince, for your grace."
Chao Yong nodded to Tong Guan and started walking aimlessly again.
In fact, Tong Guan came here not to fight for military power for himself. He was already sixty-seven years old this year, and he could be said to have been prominent for half his life. Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and others who were in power with him were all killed by Daliang, but he not only escaped with his life , and got a baron. He didn’t dare ask for more.
It's just that he can't let go of the three thousand soldiers. These soldiers have followed him for many years and can do nothing but fight. If he disbands his troops and returns to the fields, he can only sit back and become bandits, and then be wiped out by Daliang officers and soldiers. Therefore, he has to go through this journey. Although it is just an exchange for a grace that allows you to continue to enlist, it is not bad. Otherwise, those soldiers would have exceeded the age range of Daliang's recruitment and would not be able to participate in the recruitment.
Some time ago, the Daliang Dibao just announced the military system of Daliang. After three years of service in the army and retirement, only those with an official position or above can continue to serve in the army. However, if retired soldiers are willing to go to the border, each of them will be given 150 acres of fertile land on the border. The people in Kenbian want fifty more acres.
What we need to travel to now are Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road. Although these two roads are remote places for most people, they are not far for people from the northwest. They can't get land when they return to the northwest. It is better to go to Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road. If you don't know how to do farm work, you can learn it. As long as there is land, no Han people will starve to death.
Chao Yong walked aimlessly for a long time. When he looked up, he saw Shi Bao and Fang Jie looking at him from a distance. They seemed to be looking for him, so he waved them over.
The two of them came over to see the ceremony and looked embarrassed again.
Chao Yong also guessed something, waved his hand and said, "Let's talk about it."
Shi Bao and Fang Jie looked at each other, and Shi Bao motioned for Fang Jie to say, counting from Fang Baihua, Fang Jie is still Chao Yong's junior, which is always easier to say.
"The Southern Song Dynasty has been destroyed. The prince is about to lead the troops to wipe out Lu Shinang. Although he has gathered 300,000 soldiers and horses in Muzhou, he is just a mantis and will be wiped out by the prince. Lu Shinang killed his aunt, The crime deserves death. But there are still some brothers in the religion who don’t know the truth, so Brother Shi Bao and I want to tell them the truth so that they don’t risk their own lives.”
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, then you should be careful. They can be my officers and soldiers in Daliang, or they can be my people in Daliang, but from now on it is forbidden to spread Manichaeism, and violators will be killed without mercy."
"yes"
The two of them also knew that there was no room for bargaining, so they resigned and left after receiving the order.
Chao Yong found that when dealing with things, he could temporarily forget his sadness, so he immediately sent someone to invite Zongze.
When Zongze came to the Yamen, Chao Yong was making tea.
Huzhou's tea is very famous. The tea sage Lu Yu wrote the "Tea Classic" in Huzhou. The Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoots from Changxing County in Huzhou were rated as top quality by Lu Yu and became a tribute tea in the Tang Dynasty.
Because the buds and leaves of the fresh tea are slightly purple, and the backs of the young leaves are curled like bamboo shoots, it is named purple bamboo shoots. Because of the excellent quality of Guzhu purple bamboo shoots tea, it was also selected by the imperial court as a tea for sacrificing ancestral temples. The royal family at that time stipulated that purple bamboo shoots should be used as tribute Tea is divided into five grades. The first batch of tea must arrive in Chang'an before the "Qingming Festival" to offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple. Because the time from germination, production to tribute is very tight, the first batch of tribute tea is called "urgent tea." .
In the Song Dynasty, the temperature was a few degrees lower than that in the Tang Dynasty, and the germination of Guzhu purple bamboo shoots was also delayed. It was difficult for the first batch of tea to catch up with the Qingming Festival. Therefore, the tribute tea of the Song Dynasty became the Jian'an tea further south.
After Zhao Zikai established the Puppet Song Dynasty, Jianzhou was occupied by Lu Shinang, and the tribute tea of the Puppet Song Dynasty became Guzhu Purple Bamboo Shoot Tea.
It can be seen that the tribute tea in the world is not necessarily the best, and the emperor has to make compromises due to the right time and place.
The Pseudo-Song Dynasty was not established for a long time, but Tong Guan served in the palace for decades, but he established many regulations in the palace in a decent manner, which was not comparable to Fang La, Tian Hu and other grass-head emperors. Even if Daliang captured Tokyo , but because Chao Gai had a rough and arrogant temperament, Daliang's etiquette system was not as good as that of the pseudo-Song Dynasty.
The tea was made from Guzhu purple bamboo shoots, but the method was still the same as Jian'an tea fighting method.
The custom of tea fighting in Jian'an can be traced back to the late Tang Dynasty. At first, tea farmers fought for tea. When Jian'an tea became tribute tea, tea fighting spread from the countryside of Jian'an to the capital. It was sought after by dignitaries, literati and poets, and then became popular all over the country.
Zhao Ji was particularly fond of the art of tea fighting and wrote 20 articles on "Daguan Tea Treatise". When he got interested, he cooked tea himself and gave it to the ministers. , it is recorded in "Yanfu Palace Music Banquet Notes".
For example, "Records of the Qu Banquet at Yanfu Palace" says: "In December of the second year of Xuanhe, Guiji summoned Prince Zhi and others to have a banquet at Yanfu Palace... He ordered his attendants to get the tea set, pour the soup with his own hands, and beat the whisk. The surface of the cup was filled with white milk, like sparse stars and a pale moon. The ministers looked at each other and said: "This is how I made tea. After drinking it, everyone bowed their heads and thanked me."
The most famous of the Zen forest tea banquets is the Jingshan Temple tea banquet. Jingshan Temple is located in Jingshan, the remainder of Tianmu Mountain. It was built in the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it was known as the "Crown of Zen Forests in the South of the Yangtze River". A tea banquet is held every spring. Discussing Buddhist scriptures and discussing Buddhist principles in Ming Dynasty formed a set of rather exquisite etiquette.
Chao Yong had no good impression of monks, but the one who performed the tea ceremony for him was a bald monk.
After Zhao Zicheng and Tong Guan decided to surrender, they tried their best to please Chao Yong. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation were carefully arranged. The people who cooked tea for the prince were monks specially invited from Jingshan Temple in Hangzhou.
Zen Master Dahui, the abbot of Jingshan Temple, heard that he was making tea for Prince Daliang, so he came to make tea himself regardless of his status.
Although they are monks, they can never truly become monks. Not only do they need to save themselves, but they also need to save others. It seems to be similar to MLM sales in order to make money by developing downlines. The more people who save, the more incense in the temple. Okay. But according to Buddhist legends, people can become Buddhas instantly.
Zhao Ji respected Taoism and named himself the leader of Taoism. He established Taoism, compiled "History of Taoism", established 26 Taoist ranks and 26 Taoist officials. He issued the "Imperial Commentary on Tao Te Ching" and ordered the Imperial College to appoint doctors of various Taoist classics.
Shenxiao Wanshou Palace was built in various places, and thousands of hectares of land were allocated to each place.
In recent years, with the support of Zhao Ji, Taoism has overwhelmed Buddhism. Many temples are dilapidated, and the monks in the temples have either returned to secular life or become Taoist priests. Anyway, the money given to worship Buddha and seek Taoism is the same, whether it is Buddha or Taoist ancestors.
They have no power to take away the money for sesame oil, and in the end they are the ones who get the cheapest. Since Taoism is so popular, it doesn't matter if they convert to Taoism.
In the first year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji directly ordered all the monks in the world to change into Taoist priests. The temples were directly converted into Taoist temples and they believed in Taoism. The bronze Buddhas had to be sent to the government. It also dealt a huge blow to Buddhism. Although Jingshan Temple is a Zen forest in the south of the Yangtze River,
crown, but it is no exception.
The abbot, Zen Master Wuwei Weilin, received an official letter from the county government and was unwilling to convert to Taoism, but he did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's edict, otherwise the Buddha would not be able to protect him when the emperor wanted to behead him. Legend has it that all those who protected the Buddha were
What are the Eight Tribes of Heavenly Dragons, but they can’t defeat the True Dragon Emperor. It seems that even the Buddha didn’t dare to use magic power to directly cross over.
The emperor who transformed into a real dragon can only watch his followers lose their heads in the Buddhist world. Maybe this is a test for the believers, and it must be eighty-one difficult, but ordinary monks do not have Sun Wukong to protect them, so they will die with one strike. No
I know whether a person who has not overcome a single difficulty is qualified to go to the Western Paradise. Maybe he may even fall into hell.
The emperor only gave him two choices: faith or losing his head, but Zen Master Wuwei took the third way and called his disciples to see him off. After everyone arrived, Wuwei Weilin said a verse and passed away.
It's a sitting ceremony, not committing suicide out of fear of sin.
Generally, committing suicide due to fear of crime requires poison, a dagger, etc. If you really don't have one at home, you can just find a rope. If that doesn't work, you can only go outside, jump off a cliff, throw yourself into a well, etc. But it is absolutely not necessary for sitting in the body.
With the magical power of Buddhism, there is absolutely no need to take medicine, swallow gold or anything like that beforehand, and it does not necessarily have to be the end of life. Whenever you want to see the Buddha, just sit down and go.
Perhaps Zhao Ji was frightened by Zen Master Wuwei Weilin's enthronement, fearing that Zen Master Wuwei Weilin would invite the Buddha, so he withdrew the edict for the monk to convert to Taoism not long after.
There was no need to change the temple to Taoism, but Zen Master Wuwei Weilin could not come back, so Zen Master Dahui became the abbot of Jingshan Temple.
Zen Master Dahui and Wuwei Weilin did not have a master-disciple relationship. Jingshan Temple adopted the abbot system of Shifang. In the past, the abbot of Jingshan was also passed down from master to apprentice. In the Song Dynasty, it was changed to the abbot system of Shifang, and eminent monks were selected from ten directions to serve as abbots.
Compared with the succession of masters and apprentices, the Shifang abbot system was more conducive to the court's management of temples.
The ten-direction abbot system of Jingshan Temple was advocated by the great poet Su Shi. When Su Shi was an official in Hangzhou, he went to Jingshan three times and considered himself a frequent visitor to Jingshan. He felt that the previous system had shortcomings, so he changed it to the ten-direction abbot system.
The first three generations of abbots of Shifang were all selected by Su Shi.
In Water Margin, after Lu Zhishen passed away in Liuhe Temple, Song Jiang personally asked Zen Master Dahui, the abbot of Jingshan Temple, to bury Lu Zhishen, that is, to cremate him. The person who recited sutras was Zen Master Wushan Shisha.
In fact, there was no such thing as "Five Mountains and Ten Temples" at this time. It was during Ningzong's reign in the Southern Song Dynasty that the hierarchy of Jiangnan Chanyuan was determined. The Five Mountains had the highest status, followed by the Ten Temples.
Five mountains:
1. Jingshan Temple, Jingshan, Lin’an County, Hangzhou
2. Lingyin Temple, Lingyin Mountain, Qiantang County, Hangzhou
3. Jingci Temple, Nanping Mountain, Qiantang County, Hangzhou
4. Tiantong Temple, Tiantong Mountain, Yin County, Mingzhou
5. Ashoka Temple, Ashoka Mountain, Yin County, Mingzhou
Shisha:
1. Zhongtianzhu Temple, Qiantang County, Hangzhou
2. Protector Wanshou Temple, Daochang Mountain, Wucheng County, Huzhou
3. Taiping Xingguo Temple, Jiankang, Shangyuan County, Jiangshan
4. Guangxiao Temple of Guangxiao, Suzhou Wanshou Mountain
5. Xuedou Temple, Fenghua County, Mingzhou
6. Jiangxin Temple, Yongjia County, Wenzhou
7. Xuefeng Temple, Houguan County, Fuzhou
8. Baolin Temple, Yunhuang Mountain, Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province
9. Lingyan Temple, Huqiu Mountain, Wuxian County, Suzhou
10. Guoqing Temple, Tiantai Mountain, Tiantai County, Taizhou
The first of the Five Mountains and Ten Temples is Jingshan Temple. After the decline of the Five Mountains and Ten Temples in the Ming Dynasty, the four famous mountains of Buddhism flourished. (Mount Wutai in Shanxi, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, Mount Emei in Sichuan, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui)
Jingshan Temple also had an abbot named Zen Master Dahui, but it was only in the seventh year of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty that Dahui Zonggao became the abbot of Jingshan Temple. At the turn of the Song Dynasty, Jingshan Temple was once used for other purposes. Many monks in the temple were also scattered. Under the governance of Zen Master Dahui
, Jingshan Temple once again became the top of the Zen forests in the south of the Yangtze River.
In all probability, the prototype of Zen Master Dahui in Water Margin is this Zen Master. However, at this time, this Zen Master was still studying Buddhism with teachers in various places.
(This book should be based on Zen Master Dahui in Water Margin, lest Zen Master Dahui come to transform me at night. If this book suddenly becomes immortal, it means I have been transformed, otherwise the Buddha will treat me like an ant)
When Daliang was established, Zhao Ji, the Taoist emperor and leader of the religion, naturally could not become the emperor. Without the position of emperor, there were many Taoist priests with higher "Tao Xing" than Zhao Ji. Who could call upon the wind and rain and spread the beans to make soldiers? Who would want to respect Zhao Ji as the leader? What's more?
Zhao Ji became the king of the country, and the Taoists were eager to expel him from the Taoist membership.
After Daliang destroyed the Song Dynasty, he abolished all Taoist officials canonized by the Song Dynasty and ordered the demolition of the Shenxiao Wanshou Palace in various places. Everyone in the world knew that the new emperor did not believe in Taoism. Buddhist monks also wanted to convert the real dragon emperor and promote Buddhism.
The abbot of Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo asked to see Chao Gai many times, hoping to "transfer" Chao Gai. However, the territory of Daliang was increasing every moment, and affairs in various places were constantly happening. Chao Gai did not have time to talk in detail with the monks, let alone him.
There is also a son of a god who is invincible. There is no need to ask the Buddha for anything.
The abbot of Xiangguo Temple could not convert the emperor, but the abbot of Jingshan Temple wanted to convert the prince.
Zen Master Dahui saw that Prince Daliang had arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, so he rushed over.
The Japanese tea ceremony originated from the Jingshan Tea Ceremony, and even the tea sets were produced in Jianzhou Jian Kiln in the Song Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the porcelain from Jianzhou Kiln and tea from Fujian were important commodities in trade with Japan. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jian'an Black Tea Ceremony
The firing technology of glazed rabbit tea sets was also introduced
Japan. In the future, there will be no future. They have succeeded in learning from others. But as time goes by, some of the tea ceremony will be lost, so they will fill in some procedures themselves. Maybe they didn’t learn it all at the beginning. In short, the Japanese will also fill in the gaps themselves.
After a while, it finally became a Japanese tea ceremony.
In the 16th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Japanese Kato Shirozaemon came to China with Zen Master Dogen and studied ceramics firing for five or six years. After returning to Japan, he started a ceramics industry in Owari Owari and manufactured famous black-glazed vessels.
Until later generations, Japan still called this kind of ceramics "lazy household items", and Kato Shiro was called "Tao Zu".
While performing the tea ceremony of Jingshan Temple, Zen Master Dahui said: "Although the Guzhu purple bamboo shoots are also of the highest quality, the Song Dynasty did not use them to make tribute tea. After that, the picking and making were not strict. The picking and making were not done well, no matter how careful the young monk was,
It is difficult to order good tea. If I had known that there was no good tea in Huzhou, the young monk would have brought some Jingshan tea from our temple to the prince. The Jingshan tea from our temple is also nearly 400 years old.
It's history. During the Tang Dynasty, a master from the Kaishan Kingdom planted tea in Jingshan, served tea to Buddha, entertained guests with tea, and taught Zen with tea. Although I dare not say it is the best in the world, it can definitely be called the best. This year's Qingming Festival
When the time comes, the young monk also picks and makes some tea leaves with his own hands, and then uses my Jingshan tea ceremony. It must be rare and good tea. If the prince has time to visit Jingshan Temple, the young monk will personally cook tea for the prince."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "The military situation is urgent, I'm afraid I don't have time to bother you. And I am just a rough guy, and I can't appreciate the tea ceremony. In my opinion, as long as you have good tea, good water, and good tea sets, it will not be difficult to make it."
Produce good tea. The abbot's tea ceremony should be something for elegant people to enjoy when they have nothing to do. I am a martial artist, and the abbot performed the tea ceremony for me, which is like playing the harp to the ox, burning the harp and cooking the crane. It's a waste, a waste."
In fact, Chao Yong really wanted to say that the tea ceremony was just for boring people to play in their spare time. If the performer for him was a beautiful woman, maybe he would be in a mood to appreciate it, but Zhao Zicheng just got him a man who he hates the most right now.
of monks.
Watching a monk tinkering in front of you, and finally making a cup of tea. Chao Yong really didn't feel any sense of beauty.
Seeing that the prince didn't like the tea ceremony, Zen Master Dahui moved his hands a little faster and said with a smile: "The prince is too modest..."
Chao Yong asked in confusion: "Don't Zen Master's tea ceremonies require meditation?"
Zen Master Dahui was not a stupid person. Hearing that the prince thought he was noisy, in order not to offend the prince, he had no choice but to shut his mouth and concentrate on making tea.
After a while, Zen Master Dahui brewed a cup of tea. The soup was green and white in color, and the tea was fragrant. The tea was served using Jianzhou black tea cups. Because the color of tea is first compared, the best color of the soup is pure white, followed by bluish white and grayish white.
, yellow and white. In order to distinguish black and white, people at that time loved to use black lamps, and the best black lamp was the Jianzhou rabbit hair lamp, which was cyanotic in color, with grains like rabbit hairs, and its base was slightly thick.
Zen Master Dahui shook his head and said: "If you use the Jingshan tea I made myself, you will be able to make a pure white soup."
Chao Yong picked up the rabbit cup, took a sip, nodded and said: "Good tea, no matter how good it is, I can only taste it and tell it is good tea, but I can't taste the good or bad tea."
The two of them talked for a few more words, and then the guards outside came to report to Zongze and ask for an audience.
Chao Yong nodded to Zen Master Dahui and said, "Thank you, Zen Master. Tomorrow I will lead my troops south to Hangzhou. I will ask someone to send Zen Master back to the mountain later."
Upon hearing this, Zen Master Dahui hurriedly said: "The young monk is also going to Hangzhou. I wonder if you are lucky enough to go with the prince?"
Chao Yong also knew what Zen Master Dahui had in mind, so he shook his head and refused: "You are not allowed to bring irrelevant people with you during the march."
Seeing what Chao Yong said, Zen Master Dahui had no choice but to resign.
