Chapter 80: The Horn Hanging Book
(Happy Double Ninth Festival, book friends!) )
Standing in front of Daihai Temple, Ling Yun suddenly had a feeling that everyone in the world was drunk and I was awake.
Ling Yun finally got off the boat and came with Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Jingde and other people, of course, he just found an excuse to admire the name of Daihai Temple for a long time, saying that he wanted to come to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, burn a few pillars of incense, and offer some sesame oil. Everyone changed their clothes on the boat, took off their armor and put down their weapons, Ling Yun was the same as everyone else, he was in a green shirt and a square scarf, with a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was full of the style of a son of a family traveling. Gao Mingyue and several girls had to follow ashore to live or die, and they didn't want to wear a bully to cover their faces, so they simply tied up their hair and dressed as men, and they were dressed in green shirts and scarves like Ling Yun, like a few handsome boys.
The Daihai Temple in early summer is between Xingyang City and the Bianhe River, although the Daihai Temple at this time has not been renamed the Dahai Temple after the expansion of Li Shimin and Wei Chigong, but it is still one of the best temples in Xingyang within a radius of 100 miles, and the incense is vigorous. Among the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, Guanyin can be said to be a Bodhisattva who is very famous among the people, her dojo was originally in Putuo in the South China Sea, and Daihai Temple is said to be a temporary dojo when Guanyin passed the Dharma to the north, so for many believers of Guanyin, this is a holy place.
Wildflowers are blooming, and willows are clinging. In front of the temple, there are patches of fertile soil everywhere. This is all the land of the monastery, but it is not the monk who cultivates the land. The monks own a lot of land, but they don't actually need to cultivate it themselves. Their fields are handed over to those farmers who take the initiative to sell their like-minded people to cultivate, and they only need to collect tenant rent, and they don't even need to pay rent to the imperial court.
There are many people offering incense in the temple, and there are also many monks who receive and chant scriptures. However, not every one of these bald heads is a real monk, only a few of them have obtained the ordination granted permission by the imperial court, and most of them are actually illegal monks who do not have a formal ordination license.
After the Wei and Jin dynasties, Buddhism flourished, there were Buddhist temples everywhere, Buddhist temples also encroached on a large number of fertile land, accumulated currency, in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the number of Buddhists at that time was more than 2 million, more than 30,000 temples, accounting for one-fifteenth of the population of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and finally there was Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty to destroy the Buddha. Not long after, when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in power, there was a drought in Guanzhong, so that the household took the rations out to sell, and the monks took advantage of the famine year to put usury, and some temple monks hid weapons in an attempt to rebel, and finally Emperor Wu of Zhou ordered the destruction of Buddhism, which gave Buddhism a blow that was almost ruined.
Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism on a large scale twice, but at this time, Buddhism was still thriving. This is also related to the current son Yang Jian's worship of Buddhism, Yang Jian was raised by nuns in the temple since he was a child, and he was naturally close to Buddhism, and under his admiration, Buddhism flourished again.
"These monks are all fat-headed and big-eared, and their lives are really chic." Xu Gai chuckled as he rode his horse. No one understands the wealth of these Buddhist temples better than Xu Gai, they occupy the famous mountains, occupy the fertile land, have a large amount of land, and accept a large number of farmers to cultivate the temple, and even many large temples also raise many warrior monks. Many times, the richest man in a state, such as Xu Gai, is a powerful place, and he does not dare to offend these bald heads. Although most of the temples are very wealthy, they still have some compassion and will help the people in times of disaster and famine. But there are still many temples, but they are greedy villains, and in a disaster year, they take the opportunity to lend usury and take the opportunity to encroach on the land.
The three martial arts and one sect in history destroyed the Buddha, not without reason.
"If you envy them, the fifth brother can also cut the three thousand troubles and become a monk." Ling Yun said with a smile.
"I don't want to shave my hair. When a monk can't drink wine and eat meat, can't marry a wife, what's the point! Xu Gai touched his hair and said.
"You can't marry a wife, you can find a nun!" Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, these heroes have seen the monks very thoroughly, and they have no reverence.
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter.
In the laughter, Ling Yun was a little distracted.
He looked at Daihai Temple, which was still prosperous and full of incense at this time, and was thinking about the protagonists of that war.
Zhang Xutuo, a peerless general of the late Sui Dynasty, where should he be at this time? He tried to recall the memories in his middle mind, well, Zhang Xutuo should only be in his thirties at this time, he is from Henan. It seems that in February last year, the leader of the Qiang tribe in Southwest Queensland raised troops against the Sui, and Zhang Xutuo followed Shi Wansui, the head of the march, to discuss it. However, he seems to be just a small officer under the account of the famous general Shi Wansui. It seems that the counterinsurgency was very smooth, Zhang Xutuo made a lot of military achievements, and when he came back, he was awarded Ren Yitong for his merits, and he gave 300 paragraphs. Yitong is the first level of the honorable officer, and the full name is Yitong Sansi, and his next level is the Grand Duke. The governor of the capital is only 200 people, so Yitong is actually not of high rank, so he is in charge of middle-level officers with less than 1,000 people.
However, Zhang Xutuo's luck was not very good, after Shi Wansui quelled the rebellion last year, he accepted many treasures from the rebel leader, but was known by Yang Xiu, the king of Shu, Yang Xiu blackmailed Shi Wansui, and Shi Wansui simply threw these treasures directly into the river. Yang Xiu touched his nose and angrily asked the court to visit the history. It should also be Shi Wansui unlucky, originally had a big victory, Yang Jian entered him as the Shangzhu State, Yang Guang also praised him in front of the emperor in order to win him over, so that Yang Jian was ready to let Shi Wansui go to Yangzhou to lead the Jin Wangfu military, responsible for assisting Yang Guang to manage the military of the forty-four states of Jianghuai. Who knows, Yang Xiu sued Shi Wansui here, and the rebel leader who had just surrendered over there turned against him, Yang Jian was furious, Shi Wansui, as a general, captured the rebel leader, but he took a bribe and let him go, and now he is leading the rebellion. was about to cut Shi Wansui all of a sudden, but Yang Guang and others came forward to say a lot of good things, and Shi Wansui changed it to the end, and it became the disposal of the ordinary people.
Zhang Xutuo is a general under Shi Wansui's account, and he is held accountable, and his disposal is not bad, but he is temporarily idle.
Historically, this hanging was six or seven years, until Yang Guang ascended the throne and Yang Liang rebelled, Zhang Xutuo sent troops with Yang Su to quell the rebellion.
Now, Zhang Xutuo is estimated to be staying at home in Chang'an every day, and can only practice martial arts to pass the time.
As for Li Mi, the other protagonist of the Battle of Dahai Temple, well, his father is Li Kuan, the Duke of Pushan County, who came to Hu'er's previous boss, has just died, and Li Mi has now attacked the title of Duke of Pushan County, but he is only sixteen years old at this time, and he does not do anything with a salary. It will take a few more years, and after Yang Guang becomes the prince, Li Mi will enter the East Palace as a guard, and then one day, Yang Guang saw that Li Mi was black and thin and ugly, so he directly asked Yu Wenshu to expel him and get out.
Well, Wei Chigong, who will transform the Great Sea Temple in the future, is following him at this time, but he has become his adopted son.
Li Shimin, he just came out of his mother's belly this year, and he is still breastfeeding at this time. Li Yuan, the future Tang Gaozu, well, at this time, Li Yuan is a thousand cows, and he is Yang Jian's imperial guard with a sword. It was not until almost ten years later, after Yang Guang took the throne and withdrew from the state and established a county, that Li Yuan would serve as the Taishou of Xingyang County.
Ling Yun and his entourage were dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, and at a glance, they knew that the origin was not small, and the monk who was the best at observing clothes and people immediately floated in and stepped forward to salute.
Looking at the fat head and big ears of the monk who knew the guest monk, Ling Yun suddenly lost his interest in entering the temple. The reason why Dahai Temple made him admire was because it was the place where heroes fought each other. But now, those heroes have not yet come out of the mountain, there is only a group of greedy monks here, and he can't help but be excited. I was about to turn back, but I suddenly saw a young man riding a bull in front of the temple, and the young man was holding a book in his hand, and he was fascinated by it. The black buffalo walked slowly with a big belly, leisurely, and on its crooked horns, there was a bookbag.
Looking at the appearance of this young man, he may be sixteen, seventeen or eight, wearing a Confucian shirt, reading books and fascinated, and his skin is slightly dark.
A person's name suddenly popped up in Ling Yun's mind, and the horns hung the book Li Mi!
Shi Zai Yang Guang asked Yuwenshu to fire Li Mi, Yuwenshu said very wrongfully at the time, and did not expel him directly, but said in a roundabout way that Li Mi is such a person, and he will have a great future in the future, and he should not just be a guard. Li Mi was moved by Yu Wenshu's words, and sure enough, he took the initiative to resign and leave. After resigning, Li Mi began to study and review angrily, preparing to join the most famous Bao University scholar at that time. At that time, Li Mi studied very hard, and even when he traveled, he sat on the back of a cow to read a book, and hung his schoolbag on the horns of the cow. One day, he was also seen by Yang Su, Yang Su was very amazed by this, and took the initiative to stop Li Mi and chat with him for a long time, and then decided that Li Mi would be able to become a great tool in the future, so he took the initiative to make friends, and even brought it home to introduce him to his son Yang Xuangan, so that they could be friends. According to Yang Su's history books, he once looked at three young people with admiration, these three people were Li Jing, Feng Deyi and Li Mi. Later facts proved that Yang Su's vision was indeed very vicious, and he helped Yang Guang at the beginning, but Yang Guang won the crown prince and later became the emperor. He was optimistic about Li Jing and the others, and as a result, Li Jing and Feng Deyi both became prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing even became a generation of war gods. And Li Mi is just as amazing, he is a famous hero at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
This person is about the same age as Li Mi, his appearance is somewhat similar, and he has the same horns hanging in the book, is it really Li Mi? It's just that Li Mi's horn hanging book should be in Daxing Beijing, and the person he met should be Yang Su. Why did he appear here, if he wasn't Li Mi, then who was he?
Ling Yun ignored the chatter of the monk and turned his head directly, Shan Xiongxin and the others also turned the horse's head together, and suddenly there was only a bald monk left in front of the mountain gate, and he didn't know which sentence he said wrong, offending such a group of rich and noble boys.
Ling Yun patted his horse to catch up with the young man riding the bull, and the old cow was not frightened when he was blocked in the way, but just paused and looked up at Ling Yun, and then mooed.
The sound of the cow woke up the boy who was immersed in the book, and the boy raised his head, withdrew his gaze from the book, and looked at Ling Yun who was blocking the way, revealing a puzzled look.
"You're Li Mi?" Lingyun gets straight to the point.
The young man on the back of the cow shook his head and said with a smile: "This son has recognized the wrong person, and he is not Li Mi."
Ling Yun also smiled and shook his head, sure enough, he recognized the wrong person. was about to turn around, but he heard the young man say next: "In the Lower Hebei Julu Wei Zheng." ”
Ling Yun, who was about to turn around, was stunned, and looked the young man up and down a few times, "You said you are Wei Zheng, Hebei giant deer Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng?" ”
The young man on the back of the ox was even more surprised than Ling Yun, "How does this boy know that the words are in the following table?" ”
Ling Yun smiled, this Wei Zheng is really that Wei Zheng!
