According to the emperor's instructions, the Chengqian Palace is cleaned and incense by a special person every day, and the furnishings are as old as before, and no one is allowed to touch the utensils and supplies. The only change is that the screen is newly pasted with a portrait of Concubine Dong E, painted by Fu Lin himself, so that he can mourn here every evening and see the painting and think about people.

After Fu Lin held a funeral for Concubine Dong E, he fell silent. The silence was like that of the walking dead, reflecting his withered face and the increasingly thin and sick dragon body, and anyone who saw it was sad. The Queen Mother can't bear to be harsh, as long as he is no longer looking for death and life, everything is up to him.

Fu Lin turned to favor Concubine Zhen, the sister of Concubine Dong E, who looked a little similar to Concubine Dong E. He did not come to Zhongcui Palace, but when he was thinking about Chengqian Palace, he summoned Concubine Zhen to sleep in Chengqian Palace. Originally, the concubines were eager to see through the autumn water and look forward to the emperor's blessing to themselves, however, such a favor for the concubine is really sour. Seeing that the beloved Son of Heaven regarded herself as the shadow of her sister, Concubine Zhen had to reluctantly comfort herself, smiling and dedicating herself to joy.

Only one month has passed since such a day of debauchery, and the blessings are coming to weariness. Because he missed his concubine day by day, he often couldn't sleep, so he no longer called the concubine to serve.

Fu Lin believes in the Buddha and is pious, so that he feels that he has no love. Even if you sit in the world, it is difficult to protect the concubine, and it is even more difficult to defeat the life and death barrier, so what is the use of imperial power?

One day, Fu Lin talked to the monk Yin Xisen about the idea of becoming a monk in the Hall of Ten Thousand Virtues.

Fu Lin said: "I can't sleep with anyone anymore, and when he is going to sleep, all the people order him to go out, so that he can sleep, and if he smells some breath, he will not sleep all night." ”

The senior monk said: "The emperor has been a monk for a long time, and he has never forgotten his habits." ”

Fu Lin said: "I think that my predecessor was indeed a monk, and now every time I go to the temple, I see the monk's house and the clear window, and I can't go back." Treasures, wives and children, the most greedy in life can't be wielded. Of course, I don't care about the treasure, that is, the wife and children are also scattered, and it doesn't matter much. If it weren't for the queen mother, she could go to the house with the old monk. ”

The monk said: "Nagi hair dyeing clothes, ten thousand sounds of hearing the fate of the sheep and deer, etc., Mahayana Bodhisattva wants to be otherwise, or show as the king of heaven, the god king and the slaughter, keep the land, protect the people, do not get tired of dragging mud and water, do all the great compassion and great wishes, such as only trying to be pure and inactive, selfish, let him practice in the dust, but also to the point of not being able to Buddhas." Now that the emperor does not appear as the emperor, then this time he will summon the elderly, and the glory will be legalized, who will do this. Therefore, I wish my emperor not to have this thought. ”

Fulin thinks so. But it didn't take long for him to become a monk again. As soon as this news came out, the court was shaken. The Queen Mother repeatedly advised, but Fulin resolutely refused, and immediately summoned Yin Xisen to hold a nagina cultivation ceremony for him.

Just when the Empress Dowager was helpless, Sonny offered advice to the Empress Dowager and summoned Yu Linxiu, the master of Yin Xisen, to dissuade the matter. Yulin Xiu was edicted, and went to Beijing on October 15, the 17th year of Shunzhi, and ordered the people to gather and burn the indulin Xisen.

When the emperor heard this, he immediately told Yulin Xiu that Xu was accumulated, and Yin Xisen was spared death.

On the same day, Yulinxiu went to the Wanshan Hall in the West Garden of the Imperial City, and when Fulin saw Yulinxiu, the two looked at each other and smiled. Yulin Xiu saw that Fu Lin had shaved his hair, and in front of him sat a young and handsome bald emperor. Fu Lin's attitude has not changed, and he is still willing to become a monk.

He asked Yulinxiu: "I think about the ancients, but Shakya Rulai came to the palace to become enlightened, and Bodhidharma also gave up the throne and became the ancestor of Zen, I want to follow suit, why can't I?" ”

Yulinxiu advised: "If the world is **, the emperor should live in the right position forever, with the heart of Our Lady of Peace, and the cause of the people." If he is born**, the emperor should always be the king and the emperor, and the wheel of the Dharma of the Buddhas will be protected externally, and the wisdom of all the powerful bodhisattvas will live inside. ”

The emperor smiled happily and broke off the idea of becoming a monk.

Although Fulin attempted to become a monk, but because of the death of his beloved concubine, the mourning was too much, the dragon was weak and sick, and by December of the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, he felt that his life was short!

Looking back on the past and the present, how many emperors have worked hard for the elixir of immortality, only Emperor Shunzhi is calm and calm in the face of death. For him, death is a more complete liberation than becoming a monk, and from then on, he can go up to the Yellow Spring and follow his concubine.

Fulin gradually arranged the aftermath. He remembered Concubine Dong E's prediction of Xuan Ye, remembered the love of the Empress Dowager Su Ri for Xuan Ye, and remembered that Tang Ruowang said that Xuan Ye had smallpox, so he wrote an edict, abandoned the second prince Fuquan, and ordered the third son of the emperor Xuan Ye to succeed to the throne.

Two months after Concubine Dong E's death, Fu Linzhao met Tang Ruowang several times. For the first time in many years, since Fulin became obsessed with Buddhism, John Tong was recalled. Fu Lin's last words to Concubine Dong E are unforgettable, she said that if Fu Lin misses her, she can look up at the sky during the total solar eclipse, or see each other. What's more, he will never forget until he dies that Concubine Dong E invited him to watch the total solar eclipse before she died, but unfortunately not only did she not see it, but she didn't even see the last side of Concubine Ai. This is a pity!

In terms of astronomy, of course, Fulin had to consult the Qin Heavenly Supervisor Tang Ruowang, who had been cold for many years. I have to say that in addition to his exclusive favor for Concubine Dong E, Fulin is also an authentic emperor, ruthless and capricious.

However, John Tang was calm and unimpressed by years of refrigeration. He carefully taught the various types of total solar eclipses and predicted the pattern and date of the total solar eclipse.

Fulin's heart is as quiet as water, waiting for that day to come. If you can see the beautiful woman again in the brightest stars in the sky during the total solar eclipse, what is the regret of death?

On the seventh day of the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, only more than four months after the death of Concubine Dong E, Fu Lin was in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, dragging the young and frail dragon body of only twenty-four years old to sit in the corridor, staring at the sky from morning to night, waiting to see the last side of the concubine. The eunuchs were worried about the dragon's body, and persuaded him to go back to the house to rest three times and twice, but he refused, and finally got annoyed, so he simply ordered everyone to go out of the palace and not enter.

A miracle happened, just when Fulin was gradually disappointed and thought that John Tong had miscalculated the day, the light of the sun was swallowed up little by little by the shadow of the moon, and in the dimness, a star hung brightly in the black sky, so big, so dazzling, the light seemed to be forced in front of him, until he forced his eyes, as if the heaven and earth had fallen into a vastness. In this vast expanse, the dragon's body seems to be absorbed and evaporated by the strong gravitational force, and then dissipates and falls, until the consciousness is completely in chaos.

When the eunuchs realized that the situation was wrong, there was no response from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the silence was completely wrong, they suddenly remembered that Fulin was likely to seek death and life for Concubine Dong E again. hurriedly entered to investigate, but did not know that the emperor was missing. I was stunned for a while, and I searched everywhere inside and outside the hall, but I couldn't find it. The matter is serious, hurry up and report to the Queen Mother. When the queen mother heard this, she also urgently ordered to look around in the palace. All of a sudden, the entire Forbidden City was turned upside down, and the emperor was still nowhere to be found, and from that day on, Emperor Shunzhi was completely missing.

Various rumors spread around, some said that Emperor Shunzhi finally secretly left the palace to go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk due to the death of Concubine Dong E, and his legal name was "Idiot"; It is also said that Emperor Shunzhi died of smallpox; Of course, there are also theories that Emperor Shunzhi committed suicide or killed him. In short, the death of Emperor Shunzhi has become one of the historical mysteries.

In the end, the empress dowager also believed that Emperor Shunzhi had become a monk and would never come back. So he learned from the pain, and with the strength of the Iron Lady, he immediately issued a decree to restore order to the Forbidden City, completely block the news, and if there is any nonsense, he will be immediately killed. He also ordered a funeral ceremony to be held and cremated Zi Palace. Honored as "Emperor of the Heavenly Longyun Yingrui Qinwen Dade Honggong Zhiren Pure Filial Piety Emperor", the temple number is the ancestor. Ordered Concubine Zhen to be buried. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and Xuan Ye will also ascend to the pole on the same day.
