Chapter Fifty-Eight: Falsehood and Falsehood
If Wang Jian was still a little disdainful of these monks' fooling people when he first entered the mountain gate, he had to be shocked at this moment: the previous generation of abbots in Xudu's mouth was actually a god-type character, he not only accurately predicted the development of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, but also calculated that he would come!
In fact, it's no wonder that Wang Jian was fooled, the old monk's play is very simple, just like a friend's family has a child, you send an auspicious word: This son will become a great cause in the future. Decades later, when that child is really talented, you can boast that you have the ability to predict, if you don't become talented, no one will take your original compliment seriously, because everyone has long forgotten that this is also a kind of "self-fulfillment of prophecy".
Wang Jian doesn't believe in Buddhism, doesn't talk about Taoism, and knows this truth, but in it, after all, he still doesn't know the true face of Lushan, and he was fooled in.
Wang Jian asked, "What do you mean by asking my father to move the capital?" ”
He said: "It's not that Lao Ge asked the emperor to move the capital, it was signed and written, and Lao Ge just unsigned." It just pointed out a clear way for the emperor - the way out of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"Where to move? Where is the way out? ”
"The focus of this revelation falls on the word Water Margin, which is also the meaning of the way out, all living beings are suffering, as small as individuals, as big as empires, are looking for their own way out, and the way out of the Ming Dynasty is the Water Margin."
Water Margin? Waterside? Nanking!
In fact, not to mention the waste, Wang Jian also had the intention of moving the capital, because he knew that the way out of the Ming Dynasty was indeed in Nanjing, but not because Nanjing was by the water, but by the sea.
The imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, whether it is the environment or geographical location, is indeed inconvenient for his future expedition to the sea of stars. However, at this time, it is really inappropriate to be forced to move the capital like a lost dog, so he does not plan to move the capital at this stage, the nominal capital of the Ming Dynasty is still Yanjing, and only after recovering Yanjing, he can move the capital in a beautiful manner.
The focus of Wang Jian's trip was not on the sign, he asked the most important question: "Does the master know about Monk Daoyan?" ”
As soon as Wang Jian asked, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and he changed his kind eyebrows just now, and his eyes became angry, and his robe was also propped up by a purple true qi.
"The realm of the royal road!" Wang Jian really couldn't imagine that the yellow-faced and thin-skinned old monk in front of him was actually a master, and he was forced to retreat a few steps by the waves of anger.
Wang Chengen, who was waiting outside the house, felt that something was wrong and asked, "Your Majesty!?" ”
Wang Jian found that there was no malice in Xudu, and replied, "I'm fine. ”
"I see, I see!" He retracted the true qi he had released, and returned to a peaceful appearance and said, "Your Majesty, the old man doesn't know Daoyan. ”
Before coming, Wang Jian asked Wang Chengen to look through the secret files of the East Factory, when the monk Daoyan had passed by Jinan and stayed in Lingyan Temple for five days. Later, Zhu Di, who had the emperor's soul, entered Nanjing City, but was able to return north safely, and the only explanation was that he broke the emperor's soul by himself before entering Beijing. Because Zhu Yuanzhang has the Xuanyuan Mirror among the three artifacts of the Son of Heaven in his hand, in front of the Xuanyuan Mirror, no emperor's soul can be hidden.
Wang Jian naturally didn't believe in the words of vain, and he asked, "You really don't know?" At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism were tilted against each other, Taoism had the upper hand, and later the Taoist monk helped Zhu Di to seize the throne, and also presided over the revision of the "Dao Yulu" against the exclusion of Buddhism, which was a major event in the history of Buddhism.
"Monks don't speak."
"Haha..."Wang Jian smiled: "It's a good don't say anything, your words are the biggest words." ”
"The emperor seems to have no understanding of my Buddhism?"
"I just can't get used to it," Wang Jian said dissatisfiedly, "The benevolent, the people, the kiss is great!" He spent more time with Qianqian, and he also learned two sentences. Wang Jian paraphrased this sentence of Confucius, which can be said to be a word for word to punish the heart of Buddhism.
I didn't expect that the waste was still kind and kind: "What is a person?" What is a parent? ”
Wang Jian didn't give him a chance to go around in circles at all, and replied: "Don't talk to me about useless things, and then play Wang Yan's trick with me, I will send you to see him, and you go talk to him." ”
He said: "I don't want to be a monk or an official, and the emperor compares our monks to the flow of pure talk that brings disaster to the country and the people, I'm afraid it's unfair." ”
Wang Jian reminded him: "Do you know that when Huan Wen set foot on the homeland of the Western Jin Dynasty, he not only scolded Wang Yan, but also told a story about a fat cow. Let's just say that the three-body Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, does it have to be cast in bronze, or inlaid with gold? ”
When Cao Cao captured Jingzhou, I heard that Liu Biao raised a fat cow weighing 1,000 catties, and the beans he ate were more than ten times that of ordinary cattle, but he could travel far away with a load, but it was not as good as an old cow, Cao Cao ordered the fat cow to be slaughtered on the spot to reward the soldiers.
Wang Jian's meaning is very simple, if you don't hand over the method of repairing the emperor's soul, then don't blame me for being ruthless, don't talk about the small Lingyan Temple, even if it is the 480 Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, I can cast all the copper Buddhas in that temple into copper coins with one sentence.
Although such a blatant robbery is not authentic, it is also in line with the laws of history: when the country and the people are safe and the people are rich, the copper coin becomes a bronze statue in the temple; And when the war came and the state finances were scarce, the bronze statues in the temple were all turned into copper coins. This is also the reason why the Orthodox Emperor and the Jiajing Emperor destroyed the Buddha. But the emperor can't always say plainly: "I want money and people to fight, and you have both money and people, so I want to rob you." ”
He suddenly raised his head and resisted the urge to strangle Wang Jian for a moment, but in the end he still admitted defeat and said: "Amitabha, Lao Wei almost made a big mistake, thank you for mentioning it." ”
Wang Jian was very proud when he saw him admit defeat, and just wanted to ask again, but unexpectedly said in vain: "If the emperor wants to repair the emperor's soul, he must agree to a condition for Lao Gao." ”
Wang Jian was pleasantly surprised: "What conditions?" Since that day, he used the "Mandate of Heaven" to save Qi'er, and his own qi sea has been completely abolished, and now no matter how he practices, he has only reached the realm of captains, a little stronger than ordinary generals, and it is best to repair the emperor's soul in a way, so that he is so weak that he has to hide when he sees Li'er. Sitting on the dragon chair every day, he is always worried about being ousted from the stage, at this time, let alone one, he will agree to a hundred.
He lowered his head and sighed: "Please also ask the emperor to take care of Lao Wei's daughter, her name is Mingxi." ”
Wang Jian thought that this old monk was going to sit on the ground and raise the price, say what conditions to revitalize Buddhism and make him a national teacher, but he didn't expect it to be such a peculiar condition, he looked at the old monk strangely: I didn't expect it to be a flower monk, but it seems that the desire is almost eliminated at this age, where is the daughter?
Wang Jian looked at the old face and blushed, and said: "Lao Qu also entered the court as an official when he was young, and he couldn't see the darkness of officialdom, so he saw through the red dust, and later he was influenced by Buddhism, so he converted to Buddhism." ”
It's okay if he doesn't explain, but when he explains, Wang Jian doesn't believe it even more: This old monk was at least thirty or forty years ago when he was young, and his daughter was at least thirty or forty years old, and she still had to be taken care of?
It's just about taking care of an old virgin, it's a simple matter. Wang Jian agreed, went out of the house and waited outside.
After waiting for half a pillar of incense, a young girl walked over slowly, she didn't dare to look at Wang Jian and the others, and walked into the house quickly with her head down.
"Huh? looks familiar," the two outside the house looked at each other: "It's the little nun who leads the way!" ”
Wang Jian saw that the little nun was more than ten years old at most, and said in her heart: "Sure enough, she is a flower monk!" ”
In fact, he thought about it, the virtual monk was only thirty and five, but because of his old appearance and the special cultivation method, he only looked like he was fifty or sixty years old.
Inside the house.
Ming Xi sobbed: "Daddy." It was the first time she had seen her father in five years.
Vain forcibly suppressed his feelings, and said ashamedly: "I've suffered you all these years." ”
Mingxi shook his head with tears and said, "It's not bitter, I can be filial in front of my father, and my daughter is not bitter at all." ”
In order to fulfill her filial piety, she not only washed her father's clothes, but also washed other monks in the temple, and after washing, she put them in the pagoda on the mountainside, waiting for others to pick them up. When Wang Jian came, he happened to bump into it. And she saw at a glance that Wang Jian had a trace of dragon energy, and after leaving Wang Jian, she told a little monk in the temple who went down the mountain to pick up clothes, and only then did Wang Jian have the strength to shake out a lottery and a series of divine predictions.
After the two finished talking about the relationship between father and daughter, they said in vain: "Since you see the true identity of the emperor, it is a relationship, so let him go today." "I don't know how to spend it, my daughter was born with a Buddha, and even the strength of his royal realm can't see through his daughter. At a young age, not only is Buddhism exquisite, but his cultivation is also more powerful than his father, which amazes the surrounding temples and nunnery. And it was predetermined by the previous generation to preface the hope of the revitalization of Buddhism, so all the monks and nuns respected her: "Buddha master".
The ability to repair the emperor's soul can only be done by Mingxi, and handing her over to Wang Jian to take care of also solves his own heart disease, plus with Mingxi by the emperor's side, it is difficult to promote Buddhism.
Although he felt very guilty about his daughter, Wang Jian also said very clearly: I came today to find a way to repair the emperor's soul, if you don't give it, don't blame me for being unjust.
Seeing that Mingxi was still crying and shaking his head and refusing to leave, he said ruthlessly: "This is a cycle of cause and effect, since you have recognized him as the emperor, it is a fate, and let him go." After speaking, he sat facing the wall and bowed his head and chanted.
Mingxi knew that he had a resolute attitude, and asked weakly: "Daddy, can my daughter still see you?" ”
He said without looking back: "It came, it arose, it left, it perished; If you think about it, the fate will arise again, and when you don't want it one day, the fate will naturally disappear again..."
Mingxi stopped crying, she knew that Xudu was telling her that one day they could be reunited. She bowed her head upright, turned and left the chamber.
