The forty-eighth sacrificial filial piety mausoleum kangxi crying emperor teacher suling valley critical minister
When Kangxi heard that the sedan chair had arrived at Xiaoling Mausoleum, he ordered it to stop. Thirty-six eunuchs in brocade clothes shouted "Oh--" and the sedan chair had landed smoothly. Kangxi slowly walked down the felt steps and saw that a new building had been built next to the Shinto.
The small hall with eaves resting on the mountain has several beds inside, and the south wall is entirely inlaid with large glass. Although the hall is not big, it is very spacious and bright. Kangxi then slowly walked in and sat down near the door of the hall. At this moment, the wind blew into his arms.
, I felt very comfortable. Suddenly I heard the distant bell ringing, and I smiled and said: "Is there a temple here? Wouldn't it be great to sit under the secluded mountain and listen quietly to the meditation lessons?"
"There is Linggu Temple here," Wei Dongting bowed at the foot of the steps and replied, "a famous ancient temple in Nanjing." Mingzhu asked Wei Dongting in a low voice, "Is this the place where Brother Wu is buried?" Wei Dongting glanced at Mingzhu, and Wu Ciyou was there.
Linggu Temple was enthroned. Last year, the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty came to Beijing to inform the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Pearl was also with her at that time. The Empress Dowager had a strict decree and was not allowed to be leaked to the Emperor and Aunt Sumala. The Pearl was actually exposed in front of Kangxi at this moment. This is
What's the meaning?
Wei Dongting was stunned, but Kangxi heard it, sat up straight and asked: "Who has passed away?" Wei Dongting said hurriedly: "Mingzhu said that the pagoda forest is the place where monks pass away, and didn't say anything else..." Kangxi sneered.
He said in a voice: "Have you also learned to deceive the emperor? Mingzhu, what did you just say?" Wei Dongting saw that Kangxi recognized the truth, so he knelt down and cried: "I dare not lie; it was Mr. Wu Ciyou who was in Linggu Temple in the twelfth month of the previous year.
I left a verse and sat down to die... Following the instructions of the old Buddha, I was afraid that my master would be sad if he knew about it, so I strictly ordered my slaves not to report it..."
Kangxi didn't say anything after hearing this, only his hands were trembling a little. He held the tea cup absently and looked into the distance, as if his eyes were trying to penetrate the lush green hills. After a long time, Fang sighed and asked again: "He left it there?"
What did the verse say?" Wei Dongting pondered for a moment and then softly chanted:
When you break through the iron threshold, you can still see the brilliant flowers in the mirror.
Now go to the West and burn this steamed bun filling!
Kangxi listened and tasted it carefully. When he saw Gao Shiqi standing aside, he said, "Gao Shiqi, what do you think this verse means?"
"Back to the Emperor," although Gao Shiqi was funny and witty, he had read more and more things in recent years and was quite restrained. Knowing that Kangxi respected Wu Ciyou throughout his life, he did not dare to ridicule him. He replied seriously: "Fan Chengda said, 'Even if there is a thousand years of iron,'
The threshold must be a clay steamed bun. The iron threshold is the critical point of life and death; the steamed bun filling is the relic of Mr. Wu who became a Buddha. Mr. Wu saw the prosperity and splendor of the world and had no worries, so he let go with a smile.
He is truly a man of profound morals!”
"Yes...Mr. Wu is not an ordinary person. After all, he has gone. But I don't have a good teacher and friend..." Kangxi murmured, "...ask someone to check who else is in Mr. Wu's family, what is their family situation, if
Among the nephews, there are those who can be officials, and they have been recommended by the Secretary." After saying that, he stood up and walked along the road to Xiaoling. Wei Dongting hurriedly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has set off, and drums and music will be at your service!" He turned around and complained to Mingzhu: "
Mingxiang, how did you do it, talk about all this!" Mingzhu laughed but did not answer. Gao Shiqi said: "Since it is a memorial ceremony for the mausoleum, there must be some tears, Mingxiang is thoughtful!" Suo'etu thought in his heart.
I thought to myself that when it comes to understanding the emperor's heart and serving on errands, this pearl is indeed unique.
Kangxi meandered northward along the cobbled Shinto, getting higher and higher, and the Tomb of Xiaoling Mausoleum was right in front of him. The big gray worship tower, like an arrow tower, stood at the foot of the mausoleum, and the old city wall surrounded by battlements had become gloomy after hundreds of years of wind and rain.
At this time, the moss on the roadside is slippery, the poplars and green maples are rustling sadly in the wind, and hundreds of worshipers are singing in a low voice amid the music of Gong Shang Shao:
Welcoming God Yong Ping. Taking advantage of the time, it is very prosperous. It is making economics and showing mediocrity. It summarizes the past and the present, one kui; it brings big treasures and bows slightly; it looks up to the emblem and you, there is a strict palace. It is like a group of emperors, who comes first;
Jishouxi, disadvantage...
The low and plaintive singing made Kangxi, who was already in a bad mood, feel even more desolate. At this time, Yu Chenglong and Jin Fu led the officials of various yamen halls in Nanjing and hundreds of gentry to kneel at the side of the big worship hall to wait on them. Seeing Kangxi, his face was filled with sadness.
When I came in, my heart sank.
"His Majesty Emperor Kangxi, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has arrived, and I would like to offer sacrifices to the Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty!" Seeing Kangxi come in, the chief ceremonial officer shouted in praise at the top of his voice.
"Your Majesty loves Xinjue Luo Xuanye. He only uses a non-coquettish etiquette, chats with a little sincerity, and kowtows in front of the soul of Taizu Taizu of the Ming Dynasty!" Kangxi seemed to calm down a little, stepped forward, and took three sticks of Tibetan incense from the hands of the eunuch who presided over the ceremony.
As soon as the red candle was lit, he respectfully placed the memorial tablet with Zhu Yuanzhang's temple name on it, took two steps back, carefully took off his horse hoof sleeves, knelt on the soft pier of bright yellow fur, kowtowed three times, and then twice again——
It was actually the Luotian ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times!
The people Nanjing invited to pay their respects were all old men in their 60s and 70s. They had served as officials in the former Ming Dynasty, and they were quite resentful that the Manchus had entered the country to "avenge the Ming Dynasty" but then occupied the magpie's nest. Now I meet the current emperor.
After traveling thousands of miles to come to court, I respectfully served the Ming Dynasty's ancestral temple, but the king of the prosperous age actually paid homage to the founding emperor of the previous dynasty. Thinking of the impermanence of destiny and the vicissitudes of the world, it was comforting for the king to enjoy this steaming meal under the spring, and everyone burst into tears.
I burst into tears.
After reading the memorial text with a trembling voice, Kangxi poured a bottle of sake in front of the soul. He looked up at the solitary peak and the peeling tomb where Zhu Yuanzhang was buried, and a lonely and cold feeling of loneliness suddenly came over his heart. Many thoughts he had originally had.
Things that he didn't understand suddenly became clear. Taizu of the Ming Dynasty started from Caolai as a monk of Huangjue Temple, and all his ministers from Long were slaughtered by him within a few years. Kangxi has never been able to figure out why he was so vicious and cruel for no reason.
At this time, I was moved by the scene, and realized that the emperor had no friends in the world, so calling him "lonely" was not a false term. He intentionally kept Wu Ciyou from serving as an official, and specifically allowed Wu Ciyou to call himself "Long'er".
He originally wanted to keep this commoner mentor, but unexpectedly he passed away and passed away. From then on, the sky and the human world were blurred. How could this world, people, emotions and scenery not be sad? Thinking of the sadness, how could Kangxi endure it?
He felt sour and hot in his heart, and tears rolled down like beads. How did the elderly people know his mood? They also felt unbearable sadness in their hearts, and there was a sudden sigh in the hall.
After coming out of the Great Worship Hall, it was already after noon. The sunlight was so harsh that it made people's eyes dazzled. Kangxi shed a burst of tears and felt much more at ease. As he walked slowly down the steps, he reviewed the Suo'etu Road.
: "What a shame! At the end of the day, I can't escape that day! I wonder who in the future will be willing to shed a handful of clear tears in front of my soul, and I will be satisfied!"
"The Emperor is in the prime of his spring and Autumn period, and his life span is boundless. Why do you say such ominous words?" Gao Shiqi said seriously, "I think the Emperor made a mistake!" Kangxi nodded, forced a smile and said: "You are right. But I am also telling the truth.
"I have chosen Zunhua for my mausoleum. You can go and take a look at it in a while. You must consider the ins and outs, mountains and geography carefully. Come back and report to me so that the groundwork can be started."
Wei Dongting listened to what Kangxi said more and more unlucky, and knew that it was all caused by the death of Wu Ciyou, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Today's memorial service to the mausoleum has been carried out in a comprehensive manner, and it has settled a matter that has been on the emperor's mind for many years.
, so many old people are crying like tears, and they are impressed by the master's magnanimity and understanding! It's just that it's getting late, and the sky seems to be changing. It's time for the master to drive back to the city." Kangxi looked up and looked up.
, I saw thick clouds gradually rising in the west half of the sky, suddenly coming from the east, the cloud shadow covered half of the mountain in darkness, and the wattle trees on the mountain were undulating in the gust of wind, swaying uneasily. After a moment of silence, he said: "I will be here tonight.
At the Valley Temple, only Gao Shiqi and Wei Dongting were left with the bodyguards, and we drove back to the city as usual. I feel a little confused and want to be quiet here." After that, I ordered to change my clothes.
Linggu Temple was originally one of the four ancient temples in Jinling. It is located in the Zhong Valley outside the city. On weekdays, the incense is no less than that of Pilu Temple. However, because Kangxi worshiped the Xiaoling Tomb, all the tourists from the temple were driven into the city the day before yesterday. At this time, the sky was approaching.
At dusk, it was overcast again, and he felt very lonely. Kangxi changed into plain clothes and sat in a sedan chair. In the distance, he saw the gray Vatican Pagoda of Linggu Temple towering high in the clouds. The novice monks in the temple were doing evening classes, and the sound of cymbals and drums was faintly heard.
When it came, it seemed particularly desolate.
However, Wei Dongting knew the abbot of the temple. He only said that he had come to the temple to take a rest, and he donated fifty taels of gold ingots as a gift. The old monk Kongxiang was a virtuous and eminent monk, and did not go out to greet or disturb him. He only asked the abbot of the pagoda to accommodate Wei Dongting and his entourage.
In a meditation hall next to the stele at the back of the temple.
After the evening meal, the sky had darkened, the empty mountains were deserted, the clouds were dark, and except for the whistling wind and the monotonous tapping of wooden fish, everything was completely silent. Kangxi saw something like the Diamond Sutra in the bookcase.
, "Lotus Sutra", "Huayan Sutra", "Inner Canon Summary", "Lingqi Sutra", "Wu Deng Hui Yuan", there are so many Buddhist classics, I took out a "Chuan Leng Lu" from the shelf and flipped through it at will.
He sat there, thinking blankly. Everyone knew that he was restless, so how could they dare to disturb him? Kangxi read for a while, and heard the sound of rain rustling outside. He walked out of the meditation hall and stood at the foot of the steps, but saw the rain curtain.
The vague stalagmite-like relic stupa is the tomb of the eminent monks of the Linggu Temple, but I don’t know if it contains Wu Ciyou. I think of the first meeting between teachers and students at the He Guizhu Hotel more than 20 years ago, when Wu Ciyou discussed fame and career, Baiyun
Watching the poems and chanting them, the past memories of drinking tea and studying in Shangu are like yesterday, and I can't help but shed tears.
"Master," Wei Dongting saw that Kangxi was hurt by the wind, so he took out a robe and gently put it on him from behind, and whispered: "Mr. Wu's last wish was to have his ashes buried in the Yangtze River. There is no tomb for him here..." Kangxi said lightly.
: "It's also kind of you not to report to me. But you don't know how lonely I feel without Mr. Wu! You can still choose a new leader after he dies. After he passes away, who else can call me 'Long'er'
What?" Wei Dongting hurriedly wiped away his tears and said: "Master, don't be too sad. First survey the southeast, and then determine the northwest. This is Mr. Wu's plan for the emperor, and it is already halfway done. Mr. Wu is still in the sky, and if he sees the master's achievements today, it will be profound.
I will certainly be filled with endless joy as I mourn you."
The monarch and his ministers were talking when they suddenly heard Wu Dan, who was guarding him in the distance, yelling fiercely: "Who are you doing?" They were both startled. When they looked back, it was Mu Zixu who was staggering along with Jiangsu Governor Yu Chenglong.
When I arrived, I saw Kangxi standing in front of the steps, and Yu Chenglong was busy kowtowing in the rain to say hello.
"Come in and talk," Kangxi saw that Jackie Chan was soaked with semen. He turned around and went into the hall and sat on the wooden couch and said, "What's the important matter? - Pour him a cup of hot tea!"
Yu Chenglong thanked him, took out a piece of paper from the boot page, and held it to Kangxi with both hands. When Kangxi took it and read it, it was the Di newspaper delivered yesterday, saying that the drought in Zhili, the capital, had not rained in January and caused disasters. He couldn't help but
He smiled and said, "I have known about this for a long time. Are you here just for this Baba?" Yu Chenglong looked and saw that Gao Shiqi was not in front of him, so he bowed and said loudly: "No rain in the capital is a celestial warning.
, The villain has deceived the saint! The emperor has greatly promoted the power of heaven and killed the pearl of the powerful official of the country, and the rain will surely fall!" As soon as these words came out, Wei Dongting, Mu Zixu and others were shocked. Since the decision was made in the twelfth year of Kangxi
It has been ten years since the vassal withdrawal, and Mingzhu has made it clear to Kangxi that no minister has ever dared to make a fuss. This is so bold for Jackie Chan!
Kangxi's face was expressionless. After a long while, Fang asked coldly: "How can you see it?"
"Your Majesty, it has not rained for a long time. In the words of 'Yi', it is the '夬' hexagram of Qian Xia Dui Shang. Because the villain occupies Ding Xuan, there is no rain in Tian Tun Qi Gao." Yu Chenglong is confident, so it doesn't matter. He said unhurriedly, "The sage set up a way to embody the principles of heaven and man. What I said is not unreasonable and has facts to prove it. Pearl linked Xu Qianxue, and Yu Guozhu and his like controlled the cabinet to bully the superiors and subordinates, which has become an unstoppable trend. All ministries Sentencing and appointing officials are all determined by Mingzhu Qi, whether it is light or serious, and ministers dare to be angry but dare not speak out. The emperor often issued strict orders and criticized them, but he always obeyed them and never changed them..." Yu Chenglong talked about For example, he revealed the pearl's soft and sweet appearance, but its sinister and sinister heart, and all kinds of illegal things. "Does your Majesty know? This year, when all provinces have completed their academic appointments, they will submit to your majesty, and all will be discussed on price. If there are any vacancies, there will be three thousand taels of transfers. There is a shortage of two thousand taels, and a shortage of one thousand taels. If you don't have money, you can open a vacancy and wait for selection! It turns out to be genuine, and there is no deception - Xia Qitong was originally a rich man in Shaanxi, and the examiner flattered him in every possible way, because the pearl accidentally came I mistook him for Xia Qitong, and forced him to be elected, and later donated money to win high-ranking officials. Censor Li Chengqian, Wu Zhenfang bluntly spoke out about impeachment, and were immediately reprimanded..."
The more Kangxi listened, the more shocked he became. He had heard of what Yu Chenglong said about Xia Qitong. Some of what Yu Chenglong was shaking off now, some of which Kangxi had heard as jokes before, gave him a rough idea, and some had no idea at all. After hearing this, Kangxi couldn't help but said: "Speak slowly, what about Li Chengqian and Wu Zhenfang? What are they talking about in the excerpts? Didn't they arrange for Tibet Sangjieren to be stationed at the wrong festival?"
"If the emperor saw their bullets, how could Mingzhu be guilty of deceiving the emperor?" Yu Chenglong was so excited that his face flushed, "It's hard to tell whether Li and Wu will live or die now!"
Kangxi's face turned red all of a sudden, and after thinking silently for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "You tell me, what else is there?" Yu Chenglong straightened his body, cupped his hands and said, "The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. Mingzhu was initiated by Zhou Peigong. , established the second son of the emperor as the crown prince. He was very worried and planned to transfer Zhou Peigong's troubles to He Guizhu. Knowing that Zhou Peigong was suffering from asthma, he still insisted on sending Zhou Peigong to garrison outside the country. Today's residence reported that Zhou Peigong had died. The country mourned for this. Isn't it a pity for a good general? The great scholar Li Guangdi did not betray the Mingzhu, and was accused of Luo Zhi, and carried out his treacherous plot by deception and deceit... His talent was enough to deceive the master, and his wisdom was enough to cover up his evil. All the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty were as silent as cicadas when they heard the name of Mingzhu. "I am a minister, and I am in a feudal territory. If I don't tell the truth, it will be difficult to repay the emperor's kindness!" After saying that, he took a heavy breath and stared at Kangxi without saying a word. When he heard about Zhou Peigong, Kangxi was furious. I suddenly remembered that Suo'etu once said hesitantly that when he asked to marry La Gu Suma, Mingzhu was also a wildfire. After two confirmations, he knew that Yu Chenglong was not lying. He didn't expect that Mingzhu, a slave, was so useless! The color on Kangxi's face was so harmonious. He came down and said nothing for a long time. This case was too big for him to decide at the moment. Mingzhu has been in politics for sixteen years, and he has always been consistent with himself in national affairs. Most of the officials in the world are out of their jobs, and when they are thrown into jail, they are dismissed from their posts. Two, but a large number of people, the newly stable court situation after the pacification of the vassal state will be unstable. Moreover, once they go to Mingzhu, Suo'etu lives alone in the center, and it is difficult to control the two Han officials, Xiong Cilu and Gao Shiqi. He is always a little suspicious Suo'etu is related to the Jiangnan case. If it is true, then...
While he was meditating, Gao Shiqi came in with a smile in his oil coat. While saluting Qian'er, he said: "I went to the meditation hall to give a whistle. The old monk is mindful of the sutra and doesn't care about people. I heard what he recited, "No Eyes"
"Ears, nose, tongue, and body." He added, "Your old man has a shaved head and no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body. What has become of him?" Then he opened his eyes and talked about Zen with the slave for a while..." With this sentence, everyone covered their mouths.
Laughing, even the serious Yu Chenglong couldn't help but smile.
"I was just about to call you," Kangxi said with a smile, "Do you know that Yu Chenglong was corrupt, corrupted the law, formed cliques for personal gain, and was jealous of merit and harmed the virtuous?"
Gao Shiqi was startled, gasped, and his face immediately turned pale. He knew that Kangxi was in a bad mood, and he pretended to make jokes to please Sheng Gong, but was blocked by Kangxi's series of questions. He did not expect that
Jackie Chan actually took this opportunity to report Mingzhu's evil behavior. After a long time, he said: "I wonder what Yu Chenglong is actually referring to? This matter is not trivial. Let me think about it." Yu Chenglong then roughly said what he just said again. In fact, Gao Shiqi was right.
These things were clear in his mind, but they came too suddenly and he needed time to think about them. After Yu Chenglong finished speaking, Gao Shiqi felt refreshed and kowtowed: "It's all there."
"Since we have them all," Kangxi suddenly changed his face and asked sternly, "Why don't you tell me the truth?" Even though Gao Shiqi was eloquent and astute, under Kangxi's angry gaze, he was confused and kowtowed hurriedly.
"Everyone in the court knows Mingzhu's treachery, but everyone is afraid of death in life! Just like Suo Etu, Xiong Cilu has worked with Mingzhu for many years and still keeps his mouth shut, let alone a mere slave who writes edicts?" He still didn't finish.
Kangxi spat "poof" and cursed: "Fart! I must be loyal to you. Since you are afraid of death, don't do anything in front of me!"
Gao Shiqi had never encountered such a hard nail since he had followed Kangxi. At this moment, Tianwei was furious, and he realized how powerful it was. A chill ran down his spine, and he broke out in a sweat. He just kowtowed and said nothing. Seeing that Kangxi was angry with Gao Shiqi, Wei Dongting hurriedly stepped forward
He knelt down and said: "Mingzhu is deceitful, deceitful and deceitful, and has evil intentions. His power is enough to trap virtuous people. If there is no solid evidence, I will not dare to report it easily. Please be punished by the Lord!" Gao Shiqi listened to his heart!
I couldn't help feeling ashamed: I had heard for a long time that Wei Dongting was a great man among men, and he was indeed well-deserved. If it was so appropriate, why didn't I think of it?
Kangxi looked around and suddenly laughed loudly: "Mingzhu, a descendant of a poor family, is it more difficult to get rid of than Aobai?" Gao Shiqi finally found a flaw in his words and said hurriedly: "Aobai is a bright fire fighting against the sky, Mingzhu
It is through the Lord’s divine might that he is good at creating power and blessings. It is easy for the Lord to remove the pearl, but with the meager power of the slaves, it is like a cricket shaking a tree!”
Although this was not without flattery, Kangxi thought about it and felt that it was indeed the truth. Yu Chenglong did not expect that this matter would be done so smoothly. On the contrary, he felt that his worries at the beginning were ridiculous. He was most worried about Gao Shiqi protecting the pearl, and seeing even Gao Shiqi
He also clarified it in person, felt relieved, and stopped attacking Gao Shiqi, and then said: "What Gao Shiqi said is reasonable. I have been looking forward and backward for many years before I dared to do this."
"I have to say it again. Yu Chenglong, I can't approve your memorial at the moment." Kangxi said suddenly, and everyone was stunned again. Now he thought more carefully, and felt more and more heavy. He stood up and took two steps.
He said gloomily: "It is not a blessing for the country to change the prime minister frequently. During the Xiangxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the prime ministers were counted every year. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, fifty-four prime ministers were changed. What was the result? I think that only when big things are reduced to small things, and small things are reduced to small things, can we change the number of prime ministers every year."
It is a sign of prosperity. Although the pearl is not a talent, its merits are still greater than its insignificance in comparison. I will take another look. If he does evil again, I will take him away without you having to say anything!" After that, he glanced at the stunned people,
He ordered: "If any of you dare to speak out about what happened today, it will harm Jackie Chan, and I will take his head! After what Jackie Chan told me, I went back and drew up a secret, and handed the yellow box directly to Gao Shiqi for archiving. Except for me, no one else
No one is allowed to read it - kneel down!"
"Cha!" Everyone was stunned by these words. They knelt down in unison and slowly exited the meditation hall. (To be continued)
