Speaking of the couple of Prince Rui Fuyou and Chang Fujin Tong Jinxiu, there is no record in the "History of the Qing Dynasty". But this Prince Rui is indeed the grandson of the Qing Taizu ** Hachi, the second son of Emperor Taizong Taiji, his milk name is called Luoge, about him, there are only a few words in the order of the son of Huang Taiji in the "History of the Qing Dynasty": second son, Luoge, died early.

Huang Taiji has a total of eleven sons, the famous general Jingyuan, Prince Hauge of Heshuo Su is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, this second son Luo Ge is the younger brother of Haoge's mother, their mother is Huang Taiji's step-concubine Wulanara, and there is a princess who is three years younger than Prince Rui, that is, the eldest princess of Ao Han Gulun. Little Logge is five years younger than his brother Hauge, and his mother was not in good health when she was pregnant with him, so Logge's health has not been very good, it may be congenital deficiency, and when he was two years old, he was still like a big-headed doll, with a big head, a thin neck, very thin and thin, and the most obvious thing was that the pair of big and godless eyes brought deep anxiety to Ama and Eniang: Can this child live? There is a world of difference between Hauge, which one is a big fat boy with a tiger head, and this one is ...... Then I can't mention it, and it's not good to say that it's a little sick seedling who swallows his breath at any time.

At that time, the medical conditions were very backward, and many children died young, and countless people died of smallpox, typhoid fever, epidemics, tuberculosis, etc., and even dysentery could kill them. Can a child like Logge not worry his parents? Maybe a bad cold will never open your eyes again. Since he was reincarnated, he was his own child, his own blood and bones, Huang Taiji did his best to find him the best Lang Zhong and take the best medicine, and tried his best to save this little life. The men of that era, especially those in high positions like Huang Taiji, hoped that the more sons they had, the better. If there are more sons, it is also capital, it is a talisman, how many sons are not towards Lao Tzu? Even if he does not inherit the throne in the future, he will also be a powerful force if he has more sons, and others dare not underestimate it.

When Luo Ge was three years old, an elder wearing a big red robe, a sturdy body, and white beard came to the palace, he was an old friend of Huang Taiji, and he was the abbot of Longyun Temple more than 20 miles outside the palace, and his law name was Zhengming. This elder Zhengming was very prestigious at that time, he was a high-ranking monk, and his predictions of many things were quite accurate, and Longyun Temple was called "Master Zhengming" because of his flourishing incense. He came to the palace to visit his old friend Huang Taiji, this Zhengming elder often told Huang Taiji about some things in Buddhism, inspired his good thoughts, he knew that Huang Taiji was a monk in his previous life. After chatting for a while, Huang Taiji brought Luo Ge to Elder Zhengming, meaning to ask him to see if the child could live long. Huang Taiji is very fond of children, especially boys. Although this little Logge is not in good health, he is very intelligent and has a strong memory, and Huang Taiji likes it very much. He hugged Logge in front of Elder Zhengming and said very reverently, "Please take a look at the master, this child is so weak, can he live a long life?" ”

Master Zhengming took the child in his hand and did not directly answer Huang Taiji's question, but bowed his head and asked Luo Ge: "Child, are you willing to follow Master to the temple to become a monk?" ”

Logge's big eyes flickered, and he nodded earnestly and solemnly to Zhengming. Master Zhengming smiled and said to Huang Taiji: "If the donor can give up the child, he will be given to the old man to raise, so that his life can be safe, otherwise it will be ......."

"How else?" Huang Taiji was very anxious.

"Otherwise, it's three or five months."

Although Xiao Logge is one of Huang Taiji's many children, he is nothing more than he has less, but as a father, Huang Taiji still doesn't want his son to die early. After listening to Elder Zhengming's words, he hurried to the back house to ask for the opinion of the Wulanala clan, after all, the child was born to her. Of course, as a mother, she will not be willing to separate her flesh and blood, but she also knows what the situation of her child is, and she is very worried: the good men in and outside the palace have seen it, and there is no improvement, and they all say that it is weak in the womb and it is not easy to regulate. As a mother, she also hopes that her child who is conceived in October can grow up strongly, and instead of dying early, it is better to follow Master Zhengming to become a monk and find a way to live.

Venerable Zhengming said, "This child has a very deep Buddha relationship and a good foundation, but the causes in the world are also very deep, and he cannot stay in the monastery for a long time, and the old man will take care of him until he is 18 years old. But you must tell the world that this son died young, and this earthly relationship was broken, and when he returned to the world, he should be given another name. In this way, not only will you have no worries about your life, but you will also be a blessed person. The old man dared to guarantee that he would be physically strong during the thirteen years in the temple. ”

Huang Taiji was convinced of Elder Zhengming's words, and he persuaded the 10,000 reluctance of the Ulanala clan to agree to Xiao Luoge's renunciation. Because Huang Taiji hopes that his son's life is safe, he also wants this child to experience experience, he sees two major characteristics of this child, the first is intelligence, the second is perseverance, he is not in good health, he is often sick and takes medicine, so he has never seen him cry because of illness and medicine. It is the time for such a young child to be spoiled, not to mention such a family, Huang Taiji can't help but be impressed by Xiao Loge. What's more, Longyun Temple is only more than twenty miles away from Shengjing, and you can go and see it if you miss it, but Elder Zhengming didn't wait for Huang Taiji to make this request and said: "If the donor can let him cultivate with peace of mind, he will temporarily cut off his kinship, if he knows his origin, can he be in the temple with peace of mind?" ”

As soon as he thought that what Elder Zhengming said was right, he gave up the idea of visiting at any time, anyway, he would return to his side when he was eighteen years old, so it would be better for him to suffer a little. In this way, Logge was taken away by Elder Zhengming.

What is the most important thing about a woman in the world? Husband, children. It is possible for a husband to abandon her, but as a mother, it is absolutely rare to abandon her children. In order for little Logge to survive, the Ulanala clan ruthlessly handed over the child to Elder Zhengming, but when he parted, he was heartbroken, crying and grieving, and was carried to the door by two maids from the bed, holding on to the door frame, looking at the young son who was being held by Master Zhengming and drifting away, thinking that the poor child had left his mother's arms, who could let him be loved so much in front of his mother? Who will take care of him to eat, drink, bathe...... What if he misses his mother? The Ulanara clan regretted it and fainted to the ground. Just as Logge turned around, he saw Eniang being softly dragged to the bed by two maids, so he cried loudly: "Eniang! E-niang! ”

But Elder Zhengming didn't relented at all, pulled Logge's little face back, and said with a smile: "The fate of the dust is hard to break." ”

Little Logge wanted to look behind him, but Elder Zhengming hugged him sideways and blocked his view with his body. After a while, Logg fell asleep.

Since then, Longyun Temple has one more little novice who walks staggeringly, and he is the youngest junior disciple of the Hui generation here: Huikong. The brothers didn't know his origin or origin, but he was an abandoned baby picked up by the abbot elders. Because in Longyun Temple, the elders picked up more than one abandoned baby, all of them were poor families who couldn't afford to raise them, and couldn't bear to sell them or send them to the palace as eunuchs.

In the days that followed, Huikong did not enjoy any special privileges, the same sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, the same fetching water and chopping wood, cooking on the fire, the same meditation and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and the same following the senior brothers down the mountain to make fate. At the beginning, when I was weak, I did what I could, such as choosing vegetables in the kitchen, sweeping the floor, and lighting the fire for the monks who cooked, and I was never idle. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, and he was usually served by maids and grandmothers, and he still had to work after leaving home, and he would be punished if he didn't do well. At first, I was really unaccustomed to it, and I often hid behind the door of the meditation room and cried secretly.

But Xiao Huikong likes this environment in the temple very much, likes the morning bell and dusk drums, solemn sùmu, and likes the tranquility and peace here, and there is no dispute with the world. The senior brothers treated him very well and took care of him, everyone came from all over the world, and they didn't know the origin of Huikong, so the care they did for him was sincere and sincere.

Slowly, Xiao Huikong integrated into the family, although he was young, he also knew who was good to him, when he was at home, there were many half-brothers, and his mother did not dare to let him play alone, once he had just played in front of the flower bed outside the door of the house for a while and was pushed down by a very fat boy, and his arms and legs were rubbed and broken. If it weren't for the fact that his brother Hauge heard his cry and arrived in time, the kid would probably have broken Logge.

But there was no one in the temple who bullied him, and immediately after he fell, someone picked him up, slapped him with dust, saw if he was injured, and coaxed him to play. After only half a year of coming to Longyun Temple, Huikong was no longer a sick child, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were dark and bright.

When Huikong was six years old, he had grown very strong, completely lost his weak appearance, and completely adapted to the life of a monk. With a pair of bright big eyes on his chubby round face, he is loved by everyone. Elder Zhengming personally sent him to Songshan Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts, let him endure more hardships and continue to practice. That's 10 years! In the past ten years, he has been practicing Shaolin Kung Fu hard, sweating like rain every day, and has endured a lot of hardships. His career as a monk made him taciturn, and he looked at the worldly qi qi qi lightly, but his martial arts were quite remarkable.

Ten years is a short time, but it is also a long time. From the age of six to sixteen, it is an important life process for a person to grow from an ignorant child to a sensible teenager. If he has been in the palace, he will be an incomparably noble elder brother, learning how to fight for power and intrigue, but in the temple his heart is a blank piece of paper, in addition to chanting scriptures and practicing martial arts is to grow vegetables for the temple, which has changed a large period of life trajectory, and this period of ordination has left indelible deep traces in his life.

When Huikong was sixteen years old, Elder Zhengming personally took him back to Longyun Temple and asked him to serve as a martial arts instructor, and Longyun Temple also needed monks to protect the temple. And so two years passed. During this period, his father, Huang Taiji, ascended to the throne of Khan, and his brothers, brothers, including himself, did not know that there was a son of the current Great Khan here!

From the age of sixteen to eighteen, Huikong was the time when he transitioned from a teenager to a young man, he had no predictive function, he did not know that his life would be turned upside down, and he would have to go out of the mountain gate and enter the world, and he would have to take a completely different life path from that of a monk. It was a very difficult journey for him to start anew in the mundane world, to maintain a monastic mentality in the midst of wealth and glory. From a quiet, clean place, one foot into a big dye vat, the taste is not so pleasant. Don't think that it is very hard for people who cultivate in the temple to be bitter and lonely, but coming to a place full of tumbling, scheming, and muddy water is the most bitter and bitter thing, especially for those who have been monks since childhood.
