Chapter 12 Cold-eyed view of the world and insight into the sky

Life is always looking for opportunities, always looking for hope in exploration. The will of the individual may not be able to be controlled by itself in the ever-changing world conditions! When Ren Jun escaped from death, so that after knowing the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he experienced the taste of "mourning is better than heart death", and he felt that the edifice of his soul was also falling down, and the dream was dying with it? However, this is just his personal subjective conclusion, as a person with endowment, his heart is often moving in a straight line, and the categorical decision of "although he dies nine times and still has no regrets", may it be a kind of destined? If you want to move in a curved way, it will really make him have a hard time! This period of seclusion, really let his soul be comforted, so that his heartache can be slowly healed, perhaps it is the destiny of heaven, people with a clear heart like the sunshine, and people with a dishearted heart like low-key and cold, and this thousand people in the cave is in line with his state of mind, the warmth and majesty of the mountain contains a clean world without contention, accumulation and contemplation. After hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes of life, stalactites have never told the suffering in their hearts, but have bloomed a drop of unspeakable tears into gorgeous and colorful stone flowers, rushing into an extraordinary waterfall, condensing into an image like a Buddha in the silent transmission of a kind of righteousness to the world. Ren Jun wandered in this wide cave, letting his soul fly to his heart's content, and letting the ice of thought melt little by little. If you live in seclusion from now on, can you get a long time of tranquility? Can it only be a kind of self-avoidance? But how can a person who cares about his family and country covet comfort?

When he walked to the middle of the cave, he saw the light, and when he looked up, he saw a ray of sunlight shining in, which was the light of hope. Ren Jun suddenly felt relaxed, he remembered Li Bai's bold and bold poems: "I have a thousand ancient houses, Songyang Jade Girl Peak" and wrote a plaque hanging on the entrance of the thousand people cave "I have a thousand ancient houses", calligraphy is vigorous and powerful. Yes, his "Ten Thousand Ancient Mansions" is not only the world in this cave, the mountains are high and the waters are long, but to create a new environment of national peace and security, that is "I have a Ten Thousand Ancient Mansions"!

Ren Jun on the way to Beijing, see that the local officials are still entrusted with important tasks, began to Shunzhi Emperor a little suspicion began to slowly differentiate, he began from the heart of the emperors of the mind and tolerant bearing, yes, if a person wants to achieve a great cause, if there is no broad-minded and courageous is difficult to become an atmosphere, maybe the Shunzhi Emperor is familiar with the Chinese literati or scholars The nature lies in the "Qing Gao", or their wish or favorite word is a "Qing" word, so the name of the country is called "Qing Dynasty"! This is the word that the people of Daming are most looking forward to, and Ren Jun can't help but add a lot of warmth to his heart when he thinks of this.

When he arrived in Beijing, he saw that most of the Qing ministers in the court were still veterans of the old dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi, and Dolgon and other Qing ministers still respected Ren Junzheng, and Ren Jun felt a little grateful in his heart, and naturally had more trust in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the emperor has to strictly assess the appointment of every Ming minister, and Ren Jun is also one of the few loyal ministers among the Ming ministers, not to mention that he is famous in the "Kaifeng Defense War", he is an admirable hero, and he is unyielding in capture, praised by the officials of the Qing Dynasty, and naturally has less doubt and incomprehension about such a hero.

On February 2 of the second year of Shunzhi, the emperor appointed Ren Jun as the right attendant of the household department to supervise the money law of Beijing. He was in office like the old dynasty, conscientious and conscientious, "the beginning of the great life set a hundred expenses and flourished, public and private hidden, burning and looting." "He collects copper, recruits craftsmen, and supervises them, so that he takes supplies from the warehouse, and uses them without support." It effectively solved the problem of shortage of capital at that time. Later, the American professor Wei Feide praised him greatly, and in his historical work "Hong Ye. The History of the Founding of the Qing Dynasty said: "Ren Jun put forward several important suggestions for improving financial management when he was the right servant of the household department, which made important contributions to alleviating the financial crisis at the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, maintaining the normal operation of the state apparatus and consolidating the Qing Dynasty regime!" In addition, he also devoted a lot of effort to the Manchu and Han Dynasty "Great Qing Laws" completed in the fifth lunar month of 1646, did a lot of work, and put forward many good suggestions. “

In June of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), a letter came from home saying that the old mother was sick, and Ren Jun asked the emperor for leave to save his relatives.

One day, Ren Jun's mother, Yang, said that she made a wish in Guanghua Temple a few years ago, saying that she would repay her vow in June this year, and asked him to go to the temple in person to ask Abbot Yuankong which day and choose a suitable day. Mother's order is difficult to disobey, Ren Jun rode away, when he arrived at the temple, he saw the abbot of Yuankong in a hurry, and he was very happy to see the Beijing official Ren Jun here, and asked the reason, saying that he had something important to do, and he went back, and told the little monk to bring tea, after he walked out of the courtyard door, he hurriedly turned back, and repeatedly told Ren Jun: "Although drink tea, sit firmly and don't move!" Ren Jun saw him in a hurry, he was suspicious, he remembered the incident of Jingshan Temple a few years ago, and remembered that when he returned to his hometown a few days ago, he heard the rumor of the loss of the woman, saying that a woman had not returned after going out for a year, and her father and mother were looking for her everywhere, but she was nowhere to be seen, and her mother went crazy when she was anxious! There is also a word not long after marriage, the wife is missing, her mother's family came to ask for someone, the husband's family said that they could not find it, the mother's family did not believe it, suspected that the husband's family was killed, so they sued the government, and the government had no way to investigate and deal with it. When Ren Jun thought of this, he began to look at this room, there was only a bed, a table, and a lap chair, and there were square bricks on the ground, and there was nothing suspicious, so why did he repeatedly tell him to "sit still and don't move"? At this time, he sat on the chair, there was no movement, he lay down and shook left and right, only to hear a boom, he hurriedly got up to see, only to see that the square bricks under his feet would move, and he was kicked into the wall, and a hole was exposed under the table, Ren Jun remembered that it was similar to the "organ" of Jingshan Temple back then, will there be a woman coming out, and after a while, he saw two women coming out, and they saw that they were not monks, so they knelt down and shouted "Help!" Ren Jun saw that there were several women in the cave, so he hurriedly let the women enter the cave, and did not make a noise, so he made a move, and the ground was restored to its original state.

Ren Jun pretended to be calm and drank tea with a cup. Abbot Yuankong came back and said a few words to Ren Jun, Ren Jun said that he had something to go back, and Yuankong happily sent him out of the temple.

When he returned home, Ren Jun hurriedly wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Qingzhou Mansion quickly.

Early the next morning, the little monk opened the temple gate to fetch water, and saw that the entire temple was surrounded by green soldiers, and the little monk hurriedly ran back and told the Yuankong monk. Officers and soldiers poured into the temple, and a thousand monks were all caught. Ren Jun's mother Yang was very annoyed when she heard it, she has been believing in Buddhism for many years, blamed Ren Jun for destroying the tranquility of Buddhism, and asked him to release the monks, Ren Jun refused, and told his mother about the monks' crimes, but his mother also interceded for them: "They are just a group of monks, the crime is not enough to die, I heard that you ordered people to kill them, this is human life, Jun'er, human life is a matter of heaven!"

Ren Jun knelt in front of his mother, "But how many families have they harmed?" “

"But they are not as guilty as capital crimes!" When Ren Jun saw his mother crying bitterly, he persuaded her not to be sad. Since she was a child, Ren Jun saw that it was the first time she was so angry and sad, and it was not good to argue anymore, so she asked: "You old man, what should I do about this," at this time she coughed violently, waved her hand and said: "It's just some monks, but it's some Buddhist disciples, Jun'er, I think it's okay, it's okay.......

At this time, Ren Jun gave his mother a head and said: "Jun'er has listened to her mother since she was a child, you said to rake it, just rake it!" I got up and left.

Ren Jun thought of escaping death in Jingshan Temple a few years ago, and he had long hated these monks who had been bullying men and women for several years. He didn't let him kill the monk, but he was angry, so he had an idea, and thought that "rake" and "strike" were homonyms, and he also dealt with the old man.

"Rake punishment" is afraid that in China and even in the world, Ren Jun opened a historical precedent, he personally beheaded the head of Qingzhou Mansion, and the green Kan soldiers buried all the 1,000 monks in the dug trench, and then buried their bodies, each with only their heads exposed. At the sound of an order, one by one, the cows pulled the extremely sharp, and the ploughing rakes raked their heads one by one! The ground was full of crying and shouting, drenched in blood, and miserable, and the people clapped their hands and applauded loudly!

But he said that Monk Yuankong thought it was a complaint from the victim's family before he was executed, so he shouted loudly: "Lord Qingzhou, you are unfair officials, and the Gongcoffin Temple and Tumen Temple also have this matter, why don't you care?" The prefect said, "You don't have to worry about this!"

The next day, the Green Kan soldiers went to catch the monks of the two temples and raked them all.

As soon as Ren Jun's mother, Yang, heard the news, she fainted and fell to the ground.

Ren Jun took care of his mother every day, but a few months later, he died.

At the time of the funeral, in front of Ren Jun's mother's coffin, a big snake appeared, which was the snake that Yang gave birth to when Ren Jun was born. It wasn't until the coffin was buried that the snake left......

Later, Ren Jun's friend Sun Tingquan, a university scholar, wrote in the book: "Ren Jun did it during the provincial period, his relatives were sick, he tasted medicine, served day and night, and never left the bed." After three years of mourning, he often grieved, his residence changed, and he drank and died. The funeral is complete, the sacrifice is sincere, and the dead are like life. Our party's townsman is known for his filial piety, and he is known for his hard work and admiration, and Wen Shui Gong is the best! “
