Yi Bingshui remembered that Princess Gaoyang was the seventeenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. She was about the same age as Bianji and was especially loved by Emperor Taizong, so she was arrogant and unbridled. She married Fang Yiai, the youngest son of the famous prime minister Fang Xuanling. Fang Yiai
Because of Princess Gaoyang's favor, Ai also received special gifts from Taizong, far more than other sons-in-law.
Once, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai took a large number of followers to the countryside to hunt for fun. At that time, the temple where Bianji lived happened to be near the hunting ground. Princess Gaoyang took a break from hunting and went to the temple to rest and see Bianji.
I immediately fell in love with his charm. During the conversation, I saw that this tall and suave young monk spoke elegantly and had a wide range of knowledge, which made me fall in love with him even more. So I immediately moved my luxurious bedding to the temple to lay it out, and put it in a lavish decoration.
Bianji invited Bianji to have a meal. Two other women were sent to serve Fang Yiai and stay elsewhere. Forced by the princess's power, Fang Yiai dared to get angry but did not dare to speak. Bianji was confused for a while and couldn't deal with the princess. That night, Bianji
So he slept with the princess in the same room. From then on, it was hard to get back together, and the two of them passed each other. The princess privately gave Bian Ji clothes, toys, treasures, and money, which were worth hundreds of millions.
But Princess Gaoyang's lust could not be satisfied with just one argument. After that, she successively had affairs with monks Zhixu, Huihong, Taoist Li Huang, and Gao Yi. In terms of material and power, her desires were also difficult to satisfy. Fang Xuanling died.
, she encouraged Fang Yiai and her brother Fang Yizhi to split up their property and start their own business, and in turn falsely accused Fang Yizhi of not observing etiquette and law. Taizong investigated the truth and severely scolded Princess Gaoyang. From then on, he favored her.
Relax a little. Princess Gaoyang did not reflect on her mistakes. Instead, she became resentful and continued to commit illegal acts, which attracted the attention of law enforcement officials. The censor discovered the ambiguous relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji, and conducted a search on the pretext of impeaching the thief.
He went to Bianji's residence and found the golden pillow that the princess had given to Bianji. Before being tortured, Bianji confessed the truth about his affair with Princess Gaoyang and accepting gifts from the princess. Taizong was very angry and ordered Bianji to be chopped in half and killed at the same time.
There were more than ten slaves. It was after Fang Xuanling died in July of the 22nd year of Zhenguan (648), and before Emperor Taizong died in May of the 23rd year of Zhenguan. Bianji was about 30 years old. But this game seems to change the chronology.
I made a mistake, but I don’t know what Amaterasu wants me to do, so I don’t care. Now that I’m here, let’s just leave it to fate.
Princess Gaoyang didn't know that Yi Bingshui had seen through it, and she didn't understand what the two were talking about. Seeing that Yi Bingshui was a handsome and extraordinary young man, she smiled at him. Yi Bingshui just felt like blossoming flowers.
Baimei suddenly thought, "I'm not a man. If I were a man, I would be taken away by this smile. No wonder Bianji became a monk and was still fascinated by love."
Yi Bingshui kept explaining the mystery to Bianji, and he felt worried. He also saw Gao Yang smiling charmingly at Yi Bingshui, and felt a little jealous. He was at a loss for a moment.
Yi Bingshui smiled and said: "Monk, how happy are you to have friends from far away?" Princess Gaoyang saw that Yi Bingshui spoke straightforwardly and very interestingly. She didn't wait for an excuse to speak, and her wonderful eyes turned on Yang Yue's face.
He smiled and said, "Of course I'm so happy that I forget to leave." He turned around and imitated Yi Bingshui's tone and said to Bianji, "Monk, why don't you bring some tea?"
Bian Ji hesitated for a moment, said "please", took out the tea set from the room, and led the two of them to sit in a pavilion filled with trees and flowers in the courtyard. The sound of Buddha lingered, the birds sang, the flowers smelled, and the clear spring and fragrant tea were really elegant and refined.
enjoyment.
Bianji placed a stove beside him, fetched water from the well, and boiled the water to make tea. Making tea is not unusual for Yi Bingshui, but it can be said to be very "avant-garde" for people at that time. The ancients drank tea.
It is generally boiled and eaten. Moreover, the tea leaves of the ancients were different from those of today, and there were loose tea and group tea. Loose tea is similar to modern tea. Tuan tea is processed through "picking, steaming, pounding, shooting, baking, wearing, and storing" etc.
It is made through seven procedures. Tuancha is relatively expensive, and ordinary people's homes only use loose tea. High-quality Tuancha is very expensive, and only dignitaries can afford it.
The dragon and phoenix tea balls used in Bianji are called "White Milk". They are made with exquisite craftsmanship, like jade in the wild, and the dragon pattern is exquisite. It is the best dragon tea. It is produced in Fujian and is a royal product. How can Bianji have this?
The tea was naturally given by Princess Gaoyang. Yi Bingshui took a closer look at the tea group and already called it "miao". Princess Gaoyang was very proud and said with a smile: "This tea is wonderful, and the monk's pouring method is even better."
Before making tea, Yi Bingshui looked at Bianji's way of pouring tea and knew that he was an expert. He thought to himself: This monk really has some skills. Even his technique of pouring tea is so cool and calm, and he is full of elegance and handsomeness.
Compared with the tea ceremony of Meijiao Niang in modern teahouses, it has a different style. I just smiled and watched it carefully.
Yi Bingshui has studied tea ceremony and knows that tea making technology includes three elements: the amount of tea leaves, tea water temperature and brewing time.
There is no unified standard for how much tea to use each time when making tea, but it depends on the type of tea, the size of the tea set and the drinking habits of the consumer. There are many types of tea, and different tea types have different dosages. For example, brewing is generally red,
For green tea, put about 3 grams of dry tea per cup and add 150-200 ml of boiling water; for drinking Pu'er tea, add 5-10 grams per cup. The most used tea is oolong tea, and the amount added each time is 1/2 of the teapot.
-2/3.
For high-end green tea, especially various famous teas with delicate buds and leaves, it cannot be brewed with 100-degree boiling water. Generally, it is suitable to brew at around 80 degrees (referring to the water being boiled and then cooled). In this way, the tea soup brewed must be green and bright.
The taste is fresh and refreshing, and the vitamin C of the tea leaves is less destroyed. To drink various scented teas, black teas, and medium and low-grade green teas, you need to brew them with 100-degree boiling water. If the water temperature is low, the permeability will be poor and the active ingredients in the tea will be less leached.
, the tea taste is weak. When brewing oolong tea, Pu'er tea and Tuo tea, a larger amount of tea is used each time, and because the tea leaves are thick and old, boiling water of 100 degrees must be used for brewing. Sometimes, in order to maintain and increase the water temperature, it is necessary to brew
Before brewing, scald the tea set with boiling water, and pour boiling water outside the pot after brewing.
Brewing methods for different types of tea
Yi Bingshui also knows how to brew tea. Generally, you only need to prepare tea and water, and then brew it with boiling water before drinking. However, the inherent color, aroma and taste of tea must be fully brought out, and the tea can be brewed well.
It is not an easy task. It can be achieved by applying different brewing techniques and methods according to the different characteristics of tea.
Good argumentative skills!
Bianji grinds the white milk into fine foam, puts it into the pot, and pours the boiling water straight down. The tea powder is scattered, rolls up, gathers and floats on the water, and the water splashes into foam, and in an instant it transforms into
A blooming peony took half a light to evaporate. The water vapor rose and turned into a Buddha statue and disappeared. Yi Bingshui was dumbfounded. She had only read about this kind of tea-sharing technique in books, but she didn't expect it today.
Seeing this wonder, you can't help but be in awe. As the saying goes, "I am making grass leisurely with low papers on a slant, and I am playing with tea with fine breasts under a clear window." The technique of dividing tea was the most popular among the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty. This technique was rare in the Tang Dynasty. Tea dividing
The foam turned into flowers, like a kaleidoscope, transformed into shapes, which was amazing. Yi Bingshui couldn't help but screamed in her heart that it was a pity: "Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, stopped the Longfeng Tea Group, the art of dividing tea has been lost. What a pity.
"
Seeing Yi Bingshui's admiration, Bianji was very proud. He glanced at Princess Gaoyang and said "please". Although the tea was very fragrant and pure, Yi Bingshui was used to drinking loose tea from later generations, and was not interested in fermented tea balls.
Can't appreciate it.
After the first tea was over, Bianji asked Yi Bingshui: "I don't know your name?" Yi Bingshui shook his head and smiled: "We meet by chance and we make friends by heart, so why ask for your name? I will call the monk monk, monk."
Wouldn't it be more elegant to call me Young Master?"
Princess Gao Yang also clapped her hands and praised her: "You two, a monk and a young master, how should I call you?" Yi Bingshui glanced at her and smiled: "Of course you are called 'Meimei'."
Princess Gaoyang didn't know what a beauty was, but she could still read the woman's meaning.
When Princess Gao Yang saw that Yi Bingshui recognized that she was a woman, she was slightly surprised and asked: "Master, why do you think I am a woman?"
Yi Bingshui smiled and said: "The beauty is unparalleled in the world, but the orchids and fragrant flowers can't be compared to men."
When Princess Gaoyang saw that Yi Bingshui was handsome and handsome, like pearls and jade at the side, she was so radiant. Such a handsome young master praised her beauty so straightforwardly, and she was very happy. She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Young Master is really a very elegant man."
Ji said, "Monk fell into the trap of being conventional." Bianji saw that he had failed repeatedly in front of Princess Gaoyang, and he couldn't help but secretly get angry, and he wanted to compete with Yi Bingshui.
Princess Gaoyang said: "Ya Jing Ya Ren, why don't you and I make friends with poems to help our elegance flourish?"
Hearing that he wanted to write poetry, Yi Bingshui couldn't help but frown secretly, thinking: If it's a rivalry, I am also a person who often hangs out in "", and I can write something at my fingertips. When it comes to writing poetry, especially ancient poetry.
Modern rhythmic poetry, ever since "Shen Meiyao" wrote the Four Tones and Eight Diseases in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, has been too annoying and annoying to pay attention to, giving people headaches. However, Tang poetry is the heyday of rhythmic poetry. If you really let yourself write rhythmic poetry, don't talk about yourself.
For those who are highly talented in Chinese, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
Seeing Yi Bingshui frowning, Bianji thought that Yi Bingshui was timid. He thought that with his literary talents, he would not lose to this kid, so he strongly agreed.
Yi Bingshui saw Bianji eager to try, and knew that Bianji wanted to show his face in front of Princess Gaoyang. He thought: You are a monk who doesn't talk about scriptures and recite Buddhism, but you prefer to imitate some scholar to write poems and essays. I, Yi Bingshui, can compete with you in memorizing scriptures.
However, the monk prefers poems, but I can’t write poems. Thousands of years of ancient people have already prepared poems for me. Are you afraid that you can just pick them up? I’m going to beat you today because you’re such a flowery monk.
His arrogance was too much. He smiled slightly and accepted.
Since the Book of Songs, the meter and rhyme of ancient poetry were not strict at first. However, starting from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Shen Yue, Xie Tiao and others created the "Yongming style" and used the four-tone rhyme in poetry, resulting in the so-called "four-tone style".
"Sound and Eight Diseases", and the rhythmic contrast between plain and oblique, led to the later rhythmic poetry. In the history of literature, it is called "modern poetry" or "modern poetry", while the free poetry before the Tang Dynasty is called "ancient poetry".
Shen Yue is what Yi Bingshui calls "Shen Yue's beautiful waist". It is said that this person's waist is extremely beautiful. The romantic and talented emperor Li Yu who loves to write lyrics once wrote "Shen Yue's waist and pan temples are worn away", referring to Shen Yue's beautiful waist.
Compared with Pan An's beautiful beard, since his beautiful body is now sick and old, it can be seen that Shen Dacai's waist is indeed very beautiful. Together with Bai Juju's beautiful concubine Xiaoman's waist, one male and one female have been passed down for thousands of years.
The three of them were like horns. Princess Gaoyang looked at the two people on the left and right. She saw one who looked like Pan An and the other who was as beautiful as Wei Jie. Her eyes were blurred and her heart was ups and downs. But her face was very bright and she said: "With today's situation,
Let’s see who can write the poem faster and better.” Yang Yue and Bian Ji nodded in agreement.
Yi Bingshui was thinking about which poem to use to match this situation. It is really hard to find poems that fit the situation among thousands of years of ancient poetry. While he was thinking about it, in a moment, the Bianji signal was ready. See Yi Bingshui
He had already got the poem, so he had to find one at random. He had an idea and changed it. He only used rhyme and rhyme and re-written the real words. It turned out to be good, so he immediately said that he had got it. When Princess Gaoyang saw that the two of them had got the poem, she spread her hands.
He smiled and said, "That's so fast. Let's talk about it first."
Yi Bingshui signaled to the debater to invite him first, and the debater was not polite and chanted: "The sun in the mountain temple is already gone. I sit in the pavilion and listen to meditation. The clear water washes away the dust in my heart, and I spend my karma in front of the Buddha." Pretending to be a romantic and talented man, he said to Gao Yang
The princess glanced sideways with a smile on her face.
Yi Bingshui couldn't help but praise in her heart: The monk really has two brushes in writing poems. "The clear stream washes away the dust, and the karma is spent in front of the Buddha." If you didn't know about the bad relationship between him and Princess Gaoyang, you might listen to this poem and think that the monk is really a prostitute.
You are an outsider who is refined from the secular world. But now, what you, a flowery monk, are looking for is not "karma" but "marriage".
Thinking of this, Yi Bingshui smiled slightly and said, "Monk, you are really good at poetry."
Princess Gaoyang also clapped her hands and applauded: "The mountain temple, the pavilion, listening to Zen, and in front of the Buddha are all very suitable for the situation." She turned to Yi Bingshui and said: "Master, here is your poem."
Yi Bingshui flicked her hands, shook her head and chanted: "The clouds and rain from Wushan enter the Zen room, and the love between the two is deep. On the day when the monk cuts his waist to the execution ground, he sings for a long time like a beautiful girl crying."
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, then Monk Bianji shouted and stood up.
Yi Bingshui looked at Monk Bianji and said, "I am saving your life. Be careful of thieves and don't leave any jade pillows."
Yi Bingshui remembers that in the last years of Tang Zhenguan, he caught a thief on Chang'an Street. Although this incident was trivial, the stolen goods seized were extraordinary. It was a dazzling and luxurious female jade pillow inlaid with gold and silver.
, definitely not something that ordinary people would use. After severe interrogation, the thief confessed that the jade pillow was stolen from the room of a monk in Hongfu Temple. This monk was the monk Bianji.
If the thief stole an incense burner or stationery, no one would suspect it, but the luxurious and gorgeous female jade pillow had nothing to do with the eminent monk. The censor immediately called for questioning. At first, the prosecutor was tough and refused to tell the truth.
, but under clever and strict interrogation, he finally couldn't hide it and confessed that it was something given to him by Princess Gaoyang personally. Since the matter related to Princess Gaoyang, the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the problem was not simple. After official investigation
, it soon became known that shortly after Princess Gaoyang married Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, she had a close relationship with Bianji, and this relationship had lasted for eight or nine years.
The princess was intoxicated with the happiness of a woman. Her beautiful face exuded a rose-colored blush without the need for rouge, and her eyes shone with gorgeous luster. Although, this was the work of a married woman and a hater who violated the female precepts.
It is a forgiving affair, but for Princess Gaoyang, it is the first love in her life. It is a youthful love that makes the body and mind become vivid and exciting. Because it is an ulterior love affair, the love is even more intense. The tryst continues
After that, Bianji felt more troubled than happy. If the matter was exposed, he was worried that it would affect his academic ambitions, which made him very distressed. However, once he met the princess, the enthusiasm of the beautiful female Bodhisattva made him drunk both physically and mentally.
Therefore, he would rather suffer the torture of hell. Afterwards, his psychological contradictions made him miserable.
The princess handed the jade pillow to Bianji, looked at the man she loved with tears in her eyes and said, "Really, this is just temporary patience. If we can't meet each other from now on, I really can't bear it. Before we meet, I will give up."
Treat this pillow as mine and hug it every night!" Unexpectedly, the jade pillow became a proof of adultery. The imperial censor's memorial was delivered to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately issued an edict.
, the capital punishment of cutting the criminal in half. Cutting in half means placing the naked criminal on a large wooden board and cutting him into two pieces from the waist. This is probably the most miserable capital punishment in the world.
The execution ground was located at the intersection of Chang'an West Market, where there was an old willow tree. The onlookers were very excited when they heard that they could see the rare execution of cutting in half. Moreover, the sinner was a Buddhist monk who usually looked arrogant.
, a monk who was regarded as a highly hated and handsome man when he was about 30 years old, and actually had an affair with a woman who was the emperor's daughter and had a husband. This aroused their excitement as if it were a new year. The Buddhism at that time was mainly Mahayana, and
It only belongs to the intellectual class and is part of the aristocratic culture. For ordinary people, it is too elegant and difficult to understand. In order to prosper business, have a safe family or cure diseases, ordinary people in the city rely on Taoism or Taoism and Buddhism, which is like witchcraft.
Strange and weird things. When people of high status have tragic endings, the people often applaud to vent their usual grievances. During the execution, the surging crowd kept roaring, teasing, and ridiculing the soldiers who served as guards at the execution ground.
, almost shouting at the end of his throat, busy trying to straighten things out. The young and learned monk Bianji, who was highly anticipated by Xuanzang, Daoxuan and other eminent monks in the Mahayana Buddhist world, suffered terribly amidst the scolding and ridicule of the crowd.
