121. Chapter 121

The eminent monk Huiwu was stunned, thought about it left and right, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Buddhism must not forget to open the precept of killing, not that it is impossible to kill." ”

The empress nodded: "I see, I heard it wrong, I was still thinking about everything in the world, all-encompassing, such as the lion and tiger, if they are forced to eat vegetables and fruits, they must starve to death, that is not to save him, but to kill him, since people eat grains, birds and beasts, that person must be the chief of all things, according to what Master Xuan Zhenzi said just now, it is reasonable to conform to the arrangement of heaven." ”

Xuan Zhenzi's eyes lit up, he was hit very hard just now, and he was really happy to hear the empress say her own way at this time.

"It is not in line with the way of heaven, according to the cause and effect theory of the master just now, there are six realms of reincarnation, and people are reborn into the six realms according to the good and evil in life, so the generation of reincarnated chickens and pigs can be seen to be evil people, in this case, being killed and eaten by others, this will return the cause and effect of the previous life, and now they want to take precepts, don't they let the evil person have a chance to return the cause and effect?"

After Hui Wukou pronounced the Buddha's name, he said: "What His Majesty said is extremely true, one qiē and one qiē are all cause and effect cycles. ”

"It's just that I still don't know anything, the so-called put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, if so, why divide into six paths?" The Empress is very studious.

Huiwu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Those who are reincarnated as beasts must die without repentance, and then they will be punished." ”

"That being said, those who are reborn as human beings must be those who are bent on good." The empress said kindly, but the words asked were not very kind: "Why is there that baby, some are born with brocade clothes and jade food, and Ayara is wrapped in it, and some are not full of food, and their clothes are in tatters, if they also accumulated virtue in their previous lives, why did they suffer this sin in this life?" ”

As for those ministers, they were all in a cold sweat, and they were surprised in their hearts, how did this Buddhist master offend His Majesty? The people listened with great interest, yes, what is that?

Without waiting for Huiwu to speak, the empress spoke again, "And this sentient beings are all equal, and I am the true dragon and the son of heaven, is it also equal?" The three emperors and five emperors are all gods? Is it also equality? "The empress asked everyone in the world, I am a dynasty with a family in the world, and you tell me that all living beings are equal, which is absolutely not good.

Those ministers trembled, yes, the empress is the true dragon emperor, you said that all beings are equal, you are the birthday prince hanged - I don't want to live anymore.

The hexagram master's eyes lit up, this is good, he can be regarded as rich and poor, and immediately said: "Your Majesty Xià Shengming, people are rich and poor, poor and poor, and they are destined to live at the moment of birth. He also took the opportunity to advertise.

For the hexagram master, the empress is close, she herself liked Zhou Yi in her last life, but in her position to seek her own government, this idea of appointment is not suitable for this thriving country, today you are considered a poor life, well, don't work hard at all, anyway, it is also a poor life, so what should I do?

"Oh? In this case, I once heard a story about a man in a certain household, Ding Xiaolang, was very happy, and his family told his fortune, and the result was that the god of food made wealth, and wealth was arranged. The whole family was ecstatic, and they were spoiled by it since childhood, and then to the weak crown, and they didn't recognize a basket of big words, and then went out to visit their relatives and died of banditry. I don't know what the reason is? "For Buddhism, the empress may use some crooked reasoning, after all, she doesn't really understand it enough, but for the divination Zhou Yi, I'm sorry, it's a matter of slapping her face for minutes.

The hexagram master was speechless for a moment and replied, right? You said that everything is predestined, this is obviously the tragedy of not working hard to guide the day after tomorrow, what else do you say?

"And what is the explanation of the four same characters? If there is a great number of people at the same time in the same year, the same month, and the same day, if it is one of the sages, can I search for people born in the same year, month, and day to reuse? Don't ask about knowledge and character? The empress smiled at Shui Xiao: "This is my prime minister, sensitive and studious, humble and virtuous, worthy of being a virtuous minister, do I ask him about his birthday, and I will reuse it if I am born on the same day and month in the same year, or simply don't use this at all, as long as I calculate the good time in advance, and find it directly when I was a baby?" ”

Without others to look at him, the hexagram master himself sweated like rain and was completely defeated. I was wailing in my heart, I didn't say anything about the difficulty of the four same characters just now, why can you say it all at once? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the monk just now.

Xuan Zhenzi saw this momentum, and instantly kept silent, he is the son of a family, and he has been a power struggle since elementary school, where is the empress, it is clear that all religions are beaten, you all give me honesty, the family is orthodox.

"I am inspired by what you have heard today, that it is good to accumulate virtue and do good, but whether it is cause and effect or numerology, it is fatalism, and I believe that as long as you are willing to pay and work hard, there will always be a reward. I ordered Cai Shangshu to collect food and get potatoes and sweet potatoes, if I don't make an order, maybe it can be introduced to the Qin Dynasty after many years, but how many years? What have you eaten over the years? Or do you grow low-yielding crops? What to do in a disaster year? Therefore, we must work hard, be diligent, and rely on our own hands to create a warm, peaceful and stable home. Create a country with a strong country and a prosperous era that will go down in history. The Empress screamed.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." After refuting everyone, these ministers and the common people were aroused with the highest enthusiasm by the empress, yes! Why bother asking for those ethereal gods and Buddhas, it is better to live a down-to-earth life, follow the empress, and have a good life, the true dragon son is the one who is arranged by God to lead the common people.

This is a political strategy, but also a political strategy, the empress must defend her regime, when the German king Henry IV stood in front of the Pope's door in the ice and snow all night to pray for forgiveness, this is a bloody example, the history of the three martial arts and one sect to destroy the Buddha, not unreasonable, the monarchy must be defended, how can the side of the couch allow others to snore.

In this feudal dynasty, whether it is the people or the ministers, what they believe most is not fate, not Buddha, not Tao, but the monarch, their monarch. The Empress is not only a monarch who encourages agriculture, develops the economy, and governs strictly, but she is also a strategist and politician, and she needs to defend her rights, and the imperial power is inviolable!

This is from the point of view of strategy, from the point of view of selfishness, the empress does not like these religions, she is a down-to-earth person, but these religions are more ideological, the empress scoffs at this, the heart is not as good as action, and the hands are the most preferable. She not only wants the women who are bound to stand up, but also the inertia of many people to press down.

In the future, girls still have a lot of autonomy, at least better than now, but how many people don't want to find a good husband and finish everything? Maybe it's not independent, but inertia definitely plays a big role, and there are many unmotivated men, from ancient times to the present, so the empress wants to be motivated, not only herself, she wants the whole country to be motivated.

Far away, Shao Yunhua and Shui Dai finally saw the empress's ability, I just heard that the empress was speechless before the empress said the four prime ministers and six Shangshu, but this matter has not been confirmed by a party, it is a rumor, and now it can be confirmed that the empress definitely has this strength.

It is said that later, Her Majesty the Empress Xià also sent a poem to the monk Huiwu: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust." Then this high monk practiced penance in Jiuhua Mountain, and when he passed away, he had an epiphany and became a relic.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers passed guò this puja, and everyone was frightened, the empress was beating religion, not beating them, and being loyal to the lord was on the road, and being down-to-earth was the fundamental.

Tong guò this matter, but also to the people of the world to teach a lesson, ethereal things (what the afterlife is good, good luck, combined with nature) sounds very beautiful, but the empress is a layman, she only looks at practical and useful things, so if you want a good life, you have to work to create zào, soon, this gust of wind blew all over the Qin Dynasty, and the whole country will play the word "diligence" to the fullest.

Later generations evaluated, the practical concept of the Emperor Tongle is very good, laid the development of humanities, thousands of years later, people's values, not just think, but want to combine with action, it is precisely because of action and courage, the Qin Dynasty can always be leading the countries in various fields, diligence and action is engraved in the Qin Dynasty people's bones of virtue.

Of course, there are mixed reviews for Emperor Tongle, who is quite deep in the city, and many radical historians say that this empress is full of the ideas of small citizens, and only cares about what can be grasped in front of her, but has no achievements in the ideological realm, understanding, etc. There is no macro idea that an emperor should have, but they all start with the details, what is not a small citizen?

However, there are a lot of fans of Tongle Emperor, and as soon as this kind of remark came out, he was instantly photographed to death.

You have a high level of consciousness, okay, don't use these scientific and technological products because of hands, don't eat food, these are all hands-on. Do you think about everything in the universe every day, think about philosophical life, details determine success or failure, you don't know such a simple thing, what kind of life do you imagine? Those fun blacks were sprayed into scum in an instant!

But whether it is pink or black, for the firm pragmatism of the Emperor Tongle, the do-it-yourself theory is very confusing, if it is the founding emperor who grew up in the bitter water, why is the princess who has been pampered since she was a child?

Throughout the reign of Emperor Tongle, he did not build mausoleums or palaces, but built roads and ships, all of which were based on reality, without a little false emptiness, and it was precisely because of this that all religions could not develop in Daqin. The people of Daqin believe that their hands can create miracles.

As for Emperor Tongle's remarks and remarks about Shao Yunhua (recorded in Emperor Tongle's own diary), it was respected by later generations of politicians and strategists, Shao Yunhua's identity is very delicate, her dissatisfaction with her words and deeds can affect a woman who has just stood up like her, the emperor wants loyal courtiers, definitely not compassionate believers, so her dislike can naturally affect many people to reject.

Her husband is obviously a representative of the new generation of feudal scholars, and the relationship between husband and wife is harmonious, Shao Yunhua doesn't like it, and her husband naturally doesn't like it, so it can't develop among scholars.

Therefore, Emperor Tongle's move can be called a plan to kill two birds with one stone, and from the beginning she did not want any religion to develop.

All kinds of religions have been suppressed by the empress, and naturally she can't raise her head, not only that, but the empress squinted her eyes and began to ponder, the media in the previous life or something, can not only enrich everyone's life, but also dominate people's lives, for example, she didn't go through the leftover women when she came or something, and religion was also promoted in the form of stories at the beginning, so she simply ordered the Hanlin Academy to write a book.

That kind of talented and beautiful woman, domineering arbitration falls in love with me, I am your angel and the like, but some small stories such as loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, such as the Quanmei case is good, after thinking about it, I simply wrote a proposition essay for the Hanlin Academy, the poor and lowly friends must not be forgotten, and the wife of the dregs will not go to court.

And so on and so forth, and after it was written, the Empress ordered it to be printed in a book, and a part of it was distributed, and it was also distributed to places such as folk opera troupes, and then it was sent out to perform for everyone, so as to influence people's minds and educate people's virtues.
