Chapter 762: Monument of Merit and Sin
The next day, Nian's knelt on the ground, and the officials who listened to the decree of the Ministry of Rites congratulated her on being pointed out to Prince Yong as a side blessing.
She hoped that yesterday's reading was just a nightmare, and she hoped that no one would come to her house today to announce the decree.
However......
All her hopes were brutally dashed!
She thanked her in a daze, watched her eldest brother send the official who passed the decree out, Mu Mu turned his head, looked at his father, and said, "Why, didn't the emperor say that all ethnic groups are equal under the rule of the Qing Dynasty?" In this case, with my background, it is enough to be a prince Fujin, why should I be a side room? ”
Daddy's official to the governor of Huguang is a member of the second grade, and his official position is higher than the official positions of his father and ancestor in the fifth and fourteenth Fujin, why can they be the concubines of the Fujin, and they can only make side rooms for others?
She's not convinced!
She's not convinced!
Nian Yaoling looked up at the sky, held back the tears that wanted to roll down his eyes, and said heartachely: "It's all my father's fault, for the benefit of the family, I angered the fourth master." Dad inquired, in order to prove that all ethnic groups are equal under the rule of the Qing Dynasty and break the marriage barriers between races, in this election, the show girls with equal status in the Han Army Banner were all pointed out to the clan as concubines, only our family...... This must be the fourth master's revenge on our Nian family......"
I really regret not being at the beginning! He didn't expect that the ninth elder brother would not even look down on his beautiful daughter, if the ninth elder brother took a fancy to Ruolan, the fourth elder brother would not compete with him.
Now, Brother Jiu sees that the future is very good, but Ruolan can only marry the hopeless Fourth Elder Brother, which makes him hate him a lot.
Nian bit his lip stubbornly: "It's not about my father, it's only the ninth master's incomprehension, and the fourth master's careful eyes." The fourth master harmed me like this, aren't you afraid of losing the chance of immortality? ”
Nian Yaoling thought for a while and said, "I don't believe that there is anyone who only does good things and does not do evil things in his life, I think that the merit that the fairy said is probably the remaining part after good and evil are offset in a certain proportion." ”
Even if you are kind, you may still do bad things, and you feel that there will never be anyone who only does good things in her life, and does not do evil things at all. In history, among so many people who have been revered as immortals, which one is perfect? It's just because they've done the best in one aspect that they're worshiped as gods.
I'm afraid the same is true of the merits that the fairy said. As long as there is great merit for the living beings and the people, even if there are some flaws in other aspects, it should be fine.
The hatred in Nian's heart filled his chest: "So, does the fourth master want to make more merits in other aspects, and he also wants me to pay the price?" ”
Nian Yaoling sighed, I'm afraid the fourth master really thinks so. Looking at her daughter's immature face, Nian Yaoling's heart was full of guilt.
"Ruolan don't worry too much, who said that if you do a side room, you can't do things that benefit the people by yourself? Ama and your eldest brother and second brother have discussed, when you get married, the family will give you more dowry, mainly Zhuangzi, shops and other things that can make long-term progress, and then give you a few more people to marry, when the time comes, what do you want to do, just tell them to do it, the income of Zhuangzi and the shop is enough for you to support. ”
Nian's face is now better, she can't use the resources of the palace, and it's good to be able to get more dowries from her mother's family.
"By the way, Daddy, you inquire, Guo Luoluo, Tong Jia, Guarjia, Dong E, Tatara, who have they been pointed to?"
"I don't need my father to ask, just now my brother asked Lord Yuan, Guo Luo Luo's brand was made, and Concubine Yi made it herself."
Nian Xiyao walked in from outside and said.
Nian Shi was shocked and said: "How did Guo Luo Luo get a brand?" It's still the master of Concubine Yi! ”
In her mind, among the four candidates for the Ninth Elder Brother, Guo Luo Luo's family will definitely occupy a place. What mother doesn't want to put a mother's family next to her son? Which woman doesn't want to pull her mother's family?
Nian Xiyao sighed and said: "Jiufujin is really a good life, not only Guo Luoluo, but also Concubine Yi didn't give Jiu Ye a woman." Tong Jia's and Guerjia's were also branded, and he was assigned to the fifth master to make a grid, and Dong E's was pointed out to the third master to make a grid. It can be said that the three blessings and the five blessings are self-inflicted this time. ”
originally wanted to block Jiufujin, but it turned out to block himself.
Nian's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared unwillingly: "Why can Jiufujin not only be favored by men, but also let his mother-in-law protect him?" The emperor doesn't care? ”
Nian Xiyao sighed: "Now that the emperor's attention is all on immortality, where does he have the heart to pay attention to these? What's more, Brother Jiu now has two sons and a daughter under his knees, and it is not that there is no bloodline inheritance, so the emperor will naturally not be distracted by these things in the back house. ”
Nian Shi muttered: "Is Jiufu Jin the darling of the heavens? All good things happened to her......"
Fu Suni, who is praised by Nian's as the darling of the heavens, is not focusing on the general election at the moment, and Brother Jiu has brought her a big news.
Daomen is in full swing! Buddhism is retreating!
In fact, when the Daomen first knew about the Heavenly Palace's existence and the immortal's mortality, they knew that the opportunity of the Daomen had come!
Since Buddhism was introduced to China, it has been supported by many ruling classes with its unique foolish thinking, and its negative and escapist mentality has also caused many people who are unhappy in real life to escape from reality by escaping into Buddhism.
In particular, the most fundamental teachings of Taoism and Buddhism are different. Taoism pays attention to cultivating this life and gaining eternal life, while Buddhism emphasizes cultivating the next life and getting rid of it.
For thousands of years, there is basically no successful example of cultivating the Daomen, no one has been promoted, how can the people be willing to believe in you?
And Buddhism cultivates the next life, and it has to be freed, and the afterlife is ethereal, and no one knows whether it exists or not, but it is not easy to be caught and bruised.
Therefore, after Buddhism took root in China, it flew to occupy the territory of Daomen, and in history, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has also occurred several times, each time it was very tragic, and the number of Taoist victories is generally relatively small.
In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, as a foreign nation, were still ethnic minorities, and if they wanted to rule the native and large number of Han people, they naturally needed the foolish people even more.
As a result, the imperial court supported Buddhism and suppressed the Daomen, so that the Daomen could only shrink in an all-round way. Now, the Heavenly Palace and the fairy are in the world, so that the Daomen sees the opportunity for the Daomen to prosper!
Fusuni's self-proclaimed name let the Daomen know that this is the Taoist's own immortals, not the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
The deity, only the Taoist gods will call themselves so, and the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism will only call themselves poor monks!
What's more, Fusuni still has a big belly, only Taoist immortals have seven emotions and six desires, and the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism are all out of the house, and the six roots are pure, where will they get pregnant and give birth to children?
As a result, Daomen all over the country coincidentally hyped up the existence of the Heavenly Palace and the immortal mortal thing, and Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, as the leader of the Daomen, invited all factions of the Daomen to go to Longhu Mountain to discuss important matters.
Now, the grand meeting of the Daomen has ended, and after the leaders of the various sects of the Daomen returned, they began to compress the living space of the Buddhism in an organized and planned manner.
"The Daomen propagandized everywhere that the afterlife of Buddhism and the Western Heavenly Elysium was a lie woven by Buddhism, and it did not exist at all! But the Heavenly Palace and the gods of the Dao Gate are real! It's just that one day in the sky, one year in the world, for the immortals, it is normal to go down to earth once in three or five years, but for mortals, they have spent hundreds of thousands of years, so there will be a legend of becoming an immortal every few hundred or thousands of years. ”
Fusuni smiled: "It seems that the Buddha Gate is in trouble this time, do they have any countermeasures?" ”
"Buddhism says that the Western Heaven of Bliss is also a day in heaven and a year on earth, and that the West Heaven of Bliss is just a time before the present world. However, there are Taoist immortals in front of the mortals, unless the Buddha and Bodhisattva are immediately descended to the earth for believers to see, otherwise, decline has become inevitable. ”
In particular, the theory of merit of the past generations proposed by Fu Suni this time can be said to make up for the biggest shortcomings of the Daomen!
Failed to attain immortality in this life? It doesn't matter, the merits of your life are recorded, which can ensure that your true spirit is not ignorant, and that you are still willing to make merits in the next life, so that after a few lifetimes, you can naturally ascend to the Tao.
This has some points to understand with the practice of Buddhism in the afterlife, but it emphasizes the practice of the present life, which is much more positive than the negativity of Buddhism.
Fusuni said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, soon, there will really be Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. ”
"You mean...... Will Buddhism be fake? ”
Fusuni chuckled: "In history, there have been fewer times of falsification of Buddhism and Taoism?" It's just fooling the people, they have a lot of experience. ”
Brother Jiu pouted: "Just fool the ordinary people, how can the truly knowledgeable be deceived by it?" If nothing else, how can the cave in the sky be faked? How to fake the step-by-step skywalk? Those hundreds of meters away, the voice is as clear as a whisper, how to fake? I'm afraid I can only do some things like the Buddha statue crying blood. ”
"For some ignorant people, this level is enough."
Fusuni sighed lightly, or the popularization of cultural knowledge is not enough, if it is a few hundred years later, these pretending to be ghosts will be exposed in minutes.
However, even after hundreds of years of widespread education, there are still some people who will be fooled by cults, and there are even some so-called successful people with high IQ and high education, which is really incomprehensible.
Brother Jiu said: "However, judging from the general trend, the decline of Buddhism is inevitable. Four years later, the Heavenly Palace was reopened, and people from all walks of life would rush to Changbai Mountain to worship God, as long as more people confirmed the existence of the Heavenly Palace, Buddhism would gradually lose the soil for its survival and gradually become a small sect. ”
Fu Suni nodded: "This is also true, if the Buddha Gate does not have a real hammer, it will be a matter of time before it is completely suppressed by the Dao Gate." By the way, master, now there should be people everywhere who go to Changbai Mountain to worship God, is there any restriction on Khan Ama? ”
"Of course there is! Although Khan Ama had decreed that all ethnic groups were equal under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they also opened up free intermarriage between all ethnic groups. However, the integration between ethnic groups also needs a process in the end, and there are still some people who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and they still have to be guarded against. ”
Therefore, Khan Ama is ready to gradually open the ban on customs clearance, and it is expected that it will take 2o-5o years to fully relax the ban, so that the outside of the customs and the inside of the customs will be completely integrated. In the past 20 years, a certain number of customs documents have been opened every year, but this year, all officials of the third grade and above have all issued customs documents, and the chief officials at all levels below the third grade have also released the customs documents. Next year, the number of official documents will be increased, and the families and squires will be opened to the customs documents, and there will be a certain number of places in various places. Then a part of it will be increased every year, until in 2o-5o years, the people of the whole Qing Dynasty can enter and exit the customs freely. ”
"It takes one or two generations to achieve national integration, which is a safe policy. I believe that with the endorsement of the concubine, this process should be faster and smoother. However, it is no problem for our Chinese ethnic groups to let go, but we have to restrict foreigners. ”
Brother Jiu smiled: "Don't worry about this, the gods are the gods of our Chinese tribes, and the foreigners believe in either Jesus or God, what do you do with our gods?" Therefore, Khan Ama directly rejected the applications of several foreign officials in the DPRK and China. ”
"Well done!"
Fusuni clapped her hands and laughed, only feeling very happy.
Brother Jiu said worriedly: "Today, the people in the customs go to Changbai Mountain to worship God, and the Shanhaiguan guards dare not let go, but now more and more people rush to Changbai Mountain, and the Shanhaiguan guards do not dare to let go, and they dare not blindly stop it, for fear of causing mutiny." ”
The news of the appearance of the Heavenly Palace was fortunate to be seen by the people near Changbai Mountain at the beginning, because they had an experience more than ten years ago, so they only regarded it as a mountain god and a manifestation.
Later, as the officials present spread the word, the people slowly learned about it. First of all, the people of the provinces outside the Guanxi went to Changbai Mountain, and these people were stopped at the foot of Changbai Mountain by the army of the imperial court, and they were only allowed to worship at the bottom of the mountain.
Now, the people in the pass are gradually moving towards Changbai Mountain, and the number is large and difficult to control.
Fusuni thought for a while and said: "Blindly blocking is not a way, the concubine feels that Khan Ama can let the people from all over the country elect a few representatives to go to the Guanwai, and now order the provincial capitals, prefectures and counties to convey this order, first select representatives from all walks of life in the provincial capitals and counties, and then go out of the customs in batches to worship." ”
The phantom butterfly suddenly appeared in the air, fluttered in a circle, stopped on Fusuni's shoulder, and said, "Master, I have a way, the most convenient. ”
Fusuni turned her head sideways and said, "What do you have to do?" ”
Phantom Butterfly raised her pretty little face and said, "The master announced to the world in the spiritual realm that on the same day, those who have made immeasurable merits in the world can live forever, and several tablets of merit and sins have been bred in the spiritual realm. ”
