Jiming Mountain is a small hill on the inner side of the Taiping Gate, which is not very high, and is named because the mountain is round like a chicken coop. It is an important commanding height in Nanjing, and the location is very important because you can directly see the palace city from Jiming Mountain. The east side of Jiming Mountain is Jiuhua Mountain, the north faces the city wall, and outside the city wall is Xuanwu Lake, the environment is very beautiful. Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in the monk temple in his early years, and may not have had a good time, so after becoming the emperor, Buddhism was strictly restricted, and most of the temples of the Beijing master moved to a clean place outside the city, only the Puji Zen Temple on Jiming Mountain still remained, and gave the Japanese tribute to the white jade Buddha Guanyin statue in the temple. In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, he ordered to build Jiming Temple, all the temples of Puji Zen Master were rebuilt, renamed Jiming Temple, and moved Linggu Baogong Master Han to be here, and ordered Master Dade Dexuan to preside over here, Master Puqia is his disciple, and is the chief monk of Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yuanzhang is a very special person, and he has selected a master monk for all his sons, who is responsible for leading a group of monks to help the master do things. When the first prince passed away, Zhu Yunwen met Master Pu Qia, and Master Pu Qia was responsible for surpassing Zhu Biao.

When Zhu Yunwen came out of the palace, the time had passed three o'clock, the night ban had begun, there were few pedestrians on the road, most of them were dignitaries, and occasionally encountered patrolling soldiers, and the guards flashed their waist cards, and naturally dispersed. Zhu Yunwen was thinking about things, and the others naturally didn't dare to disturb, and the group only heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves echoing in the night. A group of people came out of Xi'an Gate, bypassed the imperial city, came to the foot of Jiming Mountain, you can see a Xifan Palace, standing quietly in the night, it is said that this place is an execution ground in the Yuan Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang built a Xifan Palace, let a few monks chant the scriptures here, and now they have gone back, and there are only a few people who clean in the hall. Bypassing the West Fan Palace, everyone dismounted, walked to the mountain, and soon arrived at the mountain gate, and saw that Master Pu Qia had led the monks to meet at the door, Master Pu Qia was tall and thin, with a smile on his face, and greeted him, and put his palms together and saluted: "Your Highness, Master Pu Qia is polite." ”

"Master, Yun Wei is going to mourn for his deceased father here for ten days, and he is going to disturb the master and your temple, and he wants to look at Haihan."

"Don't dare, Your Highness can come to Jiming Temple to mourn the first prince, Jiming Temple is deeply honored, the poor monk representative presided over and all the monks welcome His Highness."

Zhu Yunwen helped Master Pu Qia up: "It's too late today, let the masters disperse, and the master will take Yunwen to the residence." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, please come with me."

The group came to the backyard of Jiming Temple and arranged to an independent courtyard, Liu Zhen originally planned to drive all the people out of the backyard, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen, just asked Pu Qia not to arrange people to come in recently, and continue to live if he has already lived, Pu Qia naturally thanked him and left, but Liu Zhen called the guards over and asked to strengthen vigilance, and they all opened their eyelids to protect the safety of the emperor's grandson. However, what Zhu Yunwen didn't know was that Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, had already set up secret sentinels at the foot of Jiming Mountain and around Jiming Temple at the behest of Zhu Yuanzhang to monitor every pilgrim and effectively ensure the safety of the emperor's grandson.

Early in the morning, in the backyard of Jiming Temple.

Zhu Yunwen got up early, feeling refreshed, he hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, since he became the emperor's grandson, he has been trembling, walking on thin ice, racing against time, and trying hard to race against time. Now I had to stay in the mountains for ten days, and since I couldn't do anything, I had to put it down, and I slept peacefully.

After the morning meal, Venerable Pu Qia went to the backyard and asked about today's arrangements. Zhu Yunwen had already thought about it, and asked Master Pu Qia to arrange for him to recite the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra" in person every morning. Master Pu Qia arranged a clean room, after Zhu Yunwen bathed and changed clothes, came to the clean room, Master Pu Qia sat upright next to him, knocking on the wooden fish, and hung the portrait of the King of Jizo Bodhisattva on the wall, Yun Wei put his father's spiritual seat on the table, lit a stick of incense, and then knelt on the ground, opened the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra" and began to recite......

Zhu Yunwen has read the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra" many times and knows that reciting this Buddhist sutra can bring great benefits to the deceased. But this time I recited it in person, I had a different feeling, and I slowly immersed myself in it, and the King of Jizo Bodhisattva made a vow: Hell is not empty, and I vow not to become a Buddha. Once a woman, in order to save her mother's soul, she sold her property, and after receiving the guidance of the Buddha, she recited the Buddha purely, and the mother who had fallen into hell was reincarnated in the heavenly realm because of her merits for the Buddha; He was once a king, and in spite of all the bad karma created by the people, he still benefited the people with all kinds of charities, and vowed that he would not enjoy the ultimate happiness unless the people who had suffered because of the evil deeds could change their ways and be liberated forever. And then there's ...... King Jizo made a vow to be filial to his parents and let them be happy after all, and then expanded to the immeasurable sentient beings, vowing to let them be happy after all, and then he could be liberated. What a vast state of mind this is, in fact, Zhu Yunwen is half-skeptical of Buddhism, but after having that dream, he has a different view of the past life and the next life, after all, such a real and vivid dream cannot be the often said "thinking about the day, dreaming at night", maybe it is his past life, maybe it is his future life......

After a long time, the sound of the wooden fish in his ears was still remembering, and Zhu Yunwen suddenly reacted, he didn't know when he had burst into tears, and the scriptures had already been read. Zhu Yun calmed down, bowed to his father's spiritual seat three times and bowed nine times, and then stood up and bowed to Master Pu Qia to express his gratitude.

Master Pu Qia put down the fish spine, stood up and saluted Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, you have finished reciting, how about inviting Your Highness to the poor monk's meditation room to taste tea?" ”

"Okay, please lead the way."

Master Pu Qia led Zhu Yunwen to his meditation room, let Zhu Yunwen sit down first, and then began to make tea. Looking at the master's simple and rhythmic movements, Zhu Yunwen seemed to slowly recover from the pathos of chanting the scriptures just now. After a while, the master put two cups of tea on the table, signaled to Zhu Yunwen, picked up the tea and drank it first, and sighed while drinking: "Yes, yes, it seems that the tea ceremony of the poor monk has taken another step." ”

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help laughing, looking at Master Pu Qia's innocent face, he couldn't help waving his hand again and again to apologize, and then bowed his head to taste the tea, feeling that this tea was really good, but it didn't feel any better.

After tasting the tea, Zhu Yunwen put down the cup and said, "Master, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the master's demeanor is still the same." ”

"Hehe, where, where, there is nothing to do in the mountains, except for greeting the master every day, even reciting Buddhist scriptures, things in the temple, I don't need to do anything."

Zhu Yunwen chuckled, knowing that Master Pu Qia was a special number of people in Jiming Temple, and as a close disciple of Master Dexuan, everyone respected him, but Master Pu Qia was unrestrained except for formal occasions, and he didn't care about anything except studying Buddhism. But when choosing Zhu Yunwen to record the monk, Master Dexuan elected his apprentice Master Pu Qia, Zhu Yuanzhang took the test of Master Pu Qia, and agreed, which can fall below the glasses of the monks of Jiming Temple (if any), but Zhu Yunwen is still very satisfied with Master Pu Qia, he has a lot of respect for learned people, Pu Qia's Buddhist cultivation is no problem, and other things make Yun Wen feel very comfortable.

"Master, Yun Wei has been acting hard recently, and his mood is difficult at night, sometimes he is tired, but he doesn't dare to stop, but he slept peacefully yesterday, but the world is changeable, and when he leaves Jiming Temple, I am afraid that he will repeat the mistakes of the past, how to solve it, please teach me master."

"Your Highness, why are you worried?"

"This ......" Zhu Yunwen was stunned, this is really hard to say, do you let yourself say that your fourth uncle will rebel in the future, and he will be ousted from power and finally disappear?

Master Pu Qia smiled and said, "Your Highness has something unspeakably hidden, and the poor monk can only do my best." ”

"Your Royal Highness is the grandson of the emperor, the future lord of the Ming Dynasty, the thing that can make Your Highness worry can only be the Jiangshan Sheji, it must be that Your Highness sees the crisis of the Ming Dynasty, but is powerless to change, what is Your Highness's powerlessness to change? One possibility is that the current emperor can control it, but His Royal Highness can't; Another possibility is that His Highness's approach has no one to support and can only fight alone. ”

"Uh......" Zhu Yunwen said in his heart, how can this master who has no shape see things so clearly? Could it be that the current monks are the same as Daoyan in Beiping, familiar with astronomy and geography, military books and war books? "Master, please continue."

"Daming has no internal and external troubles on the surface, but His Highness is worried, which shows that His Highness does not agree, so it is self-evident."

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but stand up: "Yunwen is really thoughtful, please teach me the master." ”

Pu Qia smiled and said: "Your Highness, the poor monks can't do anything, the poor monks only know Buddhism, and they have no good strategy for governing the country and the country." This is far from Senior Brother Daoyan, the presiding officer of Qingshou Temple in Beiping. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen was stunned, Pu Qia still knows Daoyan? "Do you know Master Daoyan?"

"No," Pu Qia waved his hand: "The poor monk doesn't know, but recently Qingshou Temple's master Daoyan's disciple Fa can go to the temple to place an order, the poor monk chatted with him a few times, and felt that he admired his master very much between words, which made the poor monk strange that he actually said that Master Daoyan was proficient in astronomical calculations and military books and war books, which made me so confused." ”

"Oh, Master, please continue." Zhu Yunwen secretly decided that when he went back, he must let people check what this Fa can do in Beijing?

"The Huayan Sutra says: 'Only the mind appears, only the knowledge changes', what does Your Highness think it means?"

"Yun Wei thinks that all reality is realized by the mind, and all changes are caused by consciousness."

"So, what is the mind and the mind?"

"This? The mind and the mind are the mind and the mind. Yun Wei wondered.

"There are many sayings about this, in the view of the poor monks, the mind is one, when you observe the world, the mind is working, when you change the world, the consciousness is working, everyone has their own mind, so everyone sees the world differently, and everyone changes the world differently."

"What does the master mean is that everyone has their own ideas and practices, and thus different opinions and practices on the same thing?"

"Hehe," Pu Qia took a sip of tea and said: "That's pretty much it, a farmer thinks that the world is his own land, his parents and family, and all he can do to change the world is his physical strength, but the changes he makes will change his world, and have no effect on others, if there is, it may have some impact on some snakes, insects, rats and ants; An emperor who thinks that the world is his own country, and the changes he can make to the world may be millions of stone in taxes, but the impact will be on millions of people. His Royal Highness is not a monk, but the future emperor of the world, so it is okay to understand it this way. ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said: "Master, Yunwen understands that the greater a person's power, the simpler his view of the world will be, the greater the change in the world, and the more people he will influence." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Oh, Yun Wei understands, but I don't understand what the master means by saying this?"

"Hehe, don't say it, don't say it."

Zhu Yunwen reluctantly got up and returned to the guest room, thinking about what Pu Qia said along the way, but he didn't know the essentials. In the afternoon, I was reading "Zizhi Tongjian", and when I saw Shang Ying's change, I suddenly realized: Pu Qia is admonishing himself not to be in a hurry, everyone has a different view of the world, and the way of change is also different, because everyone has a perfect world in their hearts, and everyone who destroys this world is his enemy; That's why it's so difficult to change, so the emperor's grandfather reprimanded himself for not knowing how to do things and not knowing how to choose the right time.

Closing the "Zizhi Tongjian", Zhu Yunwen sighed, but if he didn't make changes, how would he deal with Uncle Yan Wang? And Uncle Yan Wang also has his perfect world, has his recent actions also aroused his alarm? Is he already deploying? Zhu Yunwen didn't know that his actions had aroused the resistance of civilian officials, and he didn't know that King Yan had begun to deploy, but he was very confused, and he desperately wanted someone to tell him, how to avoid the tragedy? He realized that the conflict between his original consciousness and Zhu Shoudao's experience in the dream was getting more and more serious, so he behaved very abnormally, fearful, so abnormal.

On the last day, when Zhu Yunwen finished reciting the "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutra", Master Pu Qia did not let Yunwen go to the meditation room as usual, but stood up and saluted: "Your Highness, the family master knows that His Highness has come to this temple and wants to meet His Highness, what does His Highness think?" ”

"Of course you can, Yun Wei hasn't seen Master Dexuan for a long time."

"However, the family teacher has not been out of the meditation room for a long time, can you please ask His Royal Highness to move to the meditation room, the family teacher is waiting for you."

"It's okay, Yun Wei should go to see the master, please lead the way."

Master Dexuan's meditation room is in the depths of the backyard, and since presiding over Jiming Temple, the main affairs have been taken care of by his apprentice, that is, Pu Qia's senior brother Pu Guan. Pu Qia pushed open the door in front of him and saluted a white-bearded monk sitting cross-legged on the bed: "Master, Your Highness has come down." ”

Master Dexuan waved his hand: "You go out first," looked up at Zhu Yunwen: "Your Highness, please take a seat, please come and see me, an old monk, and hope to forgive your sins." ”

Seeing Master Dexuan, I don't know why, I felt that his demeanor and behavior were very natural, and he didn't show any abnormalities because he was the grandson of the emperor, just like a descendant, but Zhu Yunwen didn't feel any unhappiness, and sat on the bed, opposite Master Dexuan.

Master Dexuan looked at Zhu Yunwen carefully for a while, and said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, please take good care of your body, it is the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Thank you, Master, Yun Wei knows."

"Your Highness is a wise person, of course you know how to do it better." Dexuan closed his eyes and said lightly.

Zhu Yunwen felt as if he was blown open by a thunderbolt on his head, and felt his head buzzing: "Master, where did this matter start?" Zhu Yunwen said with a strong smile.

Dexuan stretched out his thin arm like a bamboo pole, slowly put his hand on the top of Zhu Yunwen's head, and said slowly: "Your Highness is a person with great fortune, but having Su Hui is not necessarily a good thing, a variety of wisdom is intertwined, if you can't integrate it, you may change your temperament greatly, and even go crazy." But His Royal Highness is kind-hearted, which is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. Let the old man finally wish His Highness a helping hand. As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen felt a coolness spread throughout his body on the top of his head, his head was extremely clear, and he felt that he had become Zhu Shoudao for a while, Zhu Yunwen for a while, crazy for the battle of Jin Shanwei for a while, and sad for his final ending for a while......

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Yunwen felt as if he had passed thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, and felt the arm above his head slowly slide down, Zhu Yunwen was startled, and hurriedly helped Master Dexuan and shouted: "Pu Qia, come in." The door slammed open, Pu Qia rushed in, saw the scene on the bed, was shocked, and quickly tested under Master Dexuan's nose, then put Master Dexuan's arm on his lap, and then helped Zhu Yunwen up: "Your Highness, please go back, the master has passed away." ”

Zhu Yunwen was shocked, looked back at Master Pu Qia's tears welling up, and said, "How come? I was ..... with the master just now."

Pu Qia interrupted Zhu Yunwen's words and said, "Your Highness, my master has a premonition that he will pass away today, please go out, and after an hour, the poor monk will announce the news of my master's death." ”

Zhu Yunwen didn't understand what was going on for a while, but intuitively knelt down to pay a big bow to Master Dexuan, and turned to leave. Master Pu Qia did not stop Zhu Yunwen from saluting, looked at Zhu Yunwen's departing back, and knelt down in front of Master Dexuan: "Master, for the sake of His Highness, is it worth it for you to do this?" ”

An hour later, a special bell rang in Jiming Temple, and then there was a noise in the backyard, and the monks cried, and Zhu Yunwen also understood what Master Dexuan had helped him......

In the afternoon, Zhu Yunwen bowed in front of Master Dexuan's Dharma body, and then took the servants and left Jiming Temple......
