Chapter 113: Pudu Temple
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ziweiyuan, that is, the North Star is located in the middle of the sky, which is said to be the residence of the Emperor of Heaven since ancient times.
Chinese, whether it is Confucianism, pay attention to the correspondence between heaven and man, and it is also known as the Forbidden City as the residence of the Qing emperor.
Of course, in the five thousand years of China, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, there was a Wu Zhou empress Wu Zetian, and now the Empress Dowager Cixi at the end of the Qing Dynasty, even if she has been in the morning for nearly 5o years, she does not have the bearing and skill of the male lord Wu Cong of a thousand years ago.
Although she was deflated everywhere in front of the great powers, and repeatedly made stupid moves that made both China and foreign countries laugh, it is undeniable that Cixi's political skills can be called capable, especially good at manipulating the balance of power between relatives and noble courtiers to maintain her absolute authority, and her sense of smell in politics is also extremely sensitive, otherwise she would not have experienced two coups in her life, and finally had the last laugh as a victor.
"You mean, the junior brother of the palace monkey fought to a draw with Sambo, and then left Yingtai in a hurry and left the Forbidden City?"
Li Lianying's heart was excited, but she made a disapproving expression on her face: "It's not, if you say that the monkey cub in Gong Baotian has some eyesight on weekdays, when he was in Xi'an, he didn't get the favor of Lafayette, but these days things are a little nonsense, Lafayette asked him to take care of the emperor by himself, that is to give him great grace, he is good, he is not too troublesome to lead those people into the palace......"
Cixi is seventy years old this year, and her face is already cinnamon with tangerine peel and cinnamon, but she lives in the palace all the year round, and her face looks a little strangely fair, although her head has fallen into pieces, you can just look at her appearance. It really doesn't look extraordinarily old.
The old witch looked at Li Lianying a little evasive, and she didn't feel a little dissatisfied in her heart.
This kind of dissatisfaction has been buried since the Wuxu coup, because Li Lianying did not stand on her side with a clear banner at that time, she snubbed him for a while, but now this dissatisfaction has come out of her heart again.
Although in order to maintain her rule, Cixi had to make a constitutional gesture and sent five ministers abroad at the beginning of the year to inspect the preparation of the constitution, but in her heart. The authority on this dragon chair cannot be put down in any way. Can't give Guangxu a chance.
That Gong Baotian was originally an old person with his hands, but now he always makes some small moves in private, and he even thinks that he can hide from her, an old Buddha who has suppressed the Forbidden City for more than 4o years, is simply a big joke in the world. Although there are also reasons for this, which is secretly connived. But since he has brought the people on the rivers and lakes into the palace. I don't think the day of doing it will be far away.
"Xiao Lizi, you have also been with the mourning family for some years, and you have taken care of you all these years......"
Li Lianying didn't hear what she was talking about. Where do you dare to let Cixi continue, kneel on the side as soon as her knees are weak, and cry with some grievances and some grievances: "The slave has fainted recently, and his hands and paws have stretched out, but he is still concerned about the concubines and even the emperor in the palace, Lafayette knows the mind of the slave best, although he likes to be greedy for some small bargains on weekdays, and he is mainly lenient in the matter, but he is also afraid of adding blockage to Lafayette's heart, and now he has provoked Lafayette to be unhappy, and the slave will go to pick up the gang of dog slaves below and discipline Lafayette ......"
Cixi's mouth was slightly embarrassed, and her heart softened unconsciously, since the name was given to him, Li Lianying can be said to have been loyal, although she is occasionally a little greedy for money, but it is mostly through her own acquiescence...... Thinking about his title of Lafayette, isn't it also a moth that he made when he tried his best to listen to politics for the first time, and this can be regarded as completely sitting on the Qing Dynasty.
"As far as you are concerned, the mourning family has not finished speaking, you are howling here, you are so old, and you are not afraid of the following jokes, hurry up, the old man around here is now dead, exiled, as long as you live up to the mourning family, the mourning family is the day of the crane westward journey, and it will definitely be a good ...... with you"
At this moment, Li Lianying's heart slowly fell, but she just turned her head and thought about it, but she cried again: "Lafayette is afraid that he dislikes the old slave, otherwise even if he is feathered and soared, he must not leave the slave with the fat shortage of a good wealth boy by his side......"
This Li Lianying has a male duck voice with a Hebei accent, but he can go through a lot of wind and rain in front of Cixi without falling, firstly, he never hides the fact that he is greedy for money in front of Cixi, and secondly, he is indeed kind everywhere in the palace, of course, after receiving the money that should be collected, as for the Guangxu Emperor who was snubbed and placed under house arrest by Cixi, he also protected him many times, although there is a relationship between him and Guangxu, but most of them are deliberately done for Cixi to see, in order to be like this, but there is a hint of reckoning, It only takes a few words to clean yourself up, and you will naturally be able to turn evil into good fortune.
Of course, the most fundamental reason is also Cixi's trust in him and his increasing dependence in his later years, although he is a eunuch, but for Cixi, who has lived in the deep palace for decades, many times, he is more like a spiritual companion, rather than a pure slave like other officials or faces.
Li Lianying cried for the second time, how could Cixi not see that this old man was a little dry, and she couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, but she still scolded with a smile, "You are a dead old dog who is cheap and sells well, hurry up and stop the dry howl for the mourning family, and when the mourning family leaves, you old dog can't keep it out of the palace to steal pleasure......"
This strange but solid pair of 'bosom lovers', who have been through ups and downs for decades, have always taken the initiative to eliminate internal contradictions little by little between talking and laughing, forming an early and extremely alternative Platonic united front.
After looking at Li Lianying's peace of mind, and a little overwhelmed eyes, Cixi thought about it a little, and then Reece slowly ordered: "This matter of the flesh and blood of the heavenly family, let those courtiers know, I am afraid that I will keep chattering in the ears of the mourning family, and you will go to Pudu Temple in a while, and let the great lama from the east take a few apprentices to Yingtai to pray for the emperor in front of the Buddha, if there is no movement, it will be enough, otherwise I want to see if the mourning family can turn over the heavenly palace treasure hall of the mourning family with those two wild monkeys who are not even Sun Wukong......
Pudu Temple is in the East Hutong of Nanchizi Street. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the Hongqing Palace in the Royal East Garden, the residence of Prince Rui Dolgon, one of the eight iron hat kings in the early Qing Dynasty, and then rebuilt into a Tibetan lama temple in the 33rd year of Kangxi (1694), dedicated to the Tantric protector Vajra "Dahei Tianshen".
Donglai Lama is only in his early fifties today, looking like a chubby Maitreya, and it is rare that he has hung the golden bay leaf sutra on his earlobes since he was a child according to the customs of Tibetan Buddhism, so the pair of long ears hanging down to the chin make him quite a treasure and solemn appearance, and he is really a good skin of the Buddha who was born in the flesh.
If only that's it. It's not worth Cixi's heart. The main reason is that this person is the best at sophistry and Zen skills, and every time he preaches the scriptures, he can point to Cixi's heart, plus he has practiced tantric martial arts since he was a child. The swallowing kung fu has already been successful. So not only the bones are thick and the muscles are strong. Even the explosiveness and staying power are extremely strong......
Coincidentally, Cixi was fooled by Li Lianying and the ministers took advantage of the invitation to hang the curtain and called Lafayette. The more he embraced the tantric Buddhism of Tibetan Buddhism......
Tibetan Buddhism Tantra pays attention to the practice of Zen and martial arts, attaches importance to opening the three veins and seven chakras in the human body, and is known as the Buddha of ten thousand Buddhas in the depths of the universe - Virujana Buddha, attracting the power of the moon from the void, injecting the three chakras in the body, and stimulating the chakra in the seven chakras in the seven chakras of Tantra, that is, the energy center - Chakra, so as to break the boundary between heaven and man little by little, and achieve the vajra body and even the physical body Buddha in turn.
Of course, according to the Tantric texts, as long as you open one of the seven chakras, you can stimulate the chakra power hidden in the cave shrine, and embark on the path of the flesh Buddha or Vajrasattva hammer......
If all the seven chakras in the body are opened, you can further feel the power of the Great Sun Chakra and achieve the Great Black Heaven Demon God, which is what Tantra calls the Great Sun Nyorai Vajra Demon Body.
How to open the seven chakras of the physical body, and how to stir up the chakra hidden within the seven chakras, requires the practice of the eighteen tantric mudras, the most mysterious of tantras.
The eighteen tantric mudras are not only the support mudras of meditation practice, but also the essence of the Tibetan Buddhist martial arts tradition.
When Li Lianying came to Pudu Monastery, it was the most critical moment when the Donglai Lama entered the meditation and practiced Mooladhara in the side hall, and the moonlight chakra was induced by the seal of the immovable Ming King to initiate the initiation of the believers, which stimulated the inner Mooladhara.
Listening to the slight tremors and faint moans coming from the ground next to her, Li Lianying secretly cursed a few words in her heart, but her face was not moving at all, she sat quietly on the futon, carefully tasting what Tianzhu Darjeeling King Kong tea sent by the little lama.
"The little bald donkey named Hekou Huihai, the next time I see him come to the capital, I will definitely ask him to send a few catties of this King Kong tea, although the taste is to drink, it is not as good as Biluo Chun Shuanglier, but it is better than being scarce and expensive, I heard that Darjeeling can produce so many dozens of catties in a year, and it is mainly for those British nobles to enjoy......"
As a eunuch, Mooladhara is already broken beyond breaking, so naturally he can't practice the Great Joy Zen method, which the Eastern Lama is best at, not to mention the so-called TMD empowerment, which has been infused on Lafayette for almost 20 years, and he has not seen Lafayette's real physical ascension......
Although it is said that this eunuch is sometimes too philistine, in this regard, he can see it much more clearly than many noblewomen of official eunuchs.
The so-called wall stands a thousand thousands, no desire is rigid, this Lamaist joyful Buddhism, in the eyes of those dignitaries in the capital is like a treasure, for the eunuchs who have no Mooladhara, it is not as good as the Zen monk playing the Zen machine of the relics.
Of course, Li Lianying can only understand these thoughts in her heart, even if Lafayette is what kind of character, will she not know what these lamas are doing? It's just that his martial arts are superb and he is suitable for doing some dirty work that is not easy to do on the official side.
Dragged down by the monkey cub in Gong Baotian, this time even the emperor was afraid that he would have to eat and hang, so he asked him not to fight with Lafayette, but he didn't listen, and when these thieves entered Yingtai, I was afraid that it would be a mess again...... (To be continued!)
