Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Reincarnation of Family Destiny
Chen Jianjun's grandmother Sun, originally his imperial grandfather Xuanzong's concubine, when Xuanzong succeeded to the throne for a long time without children, Sun ordered his personal palace maid to serve Xuanzong, the palace maid was pregnant, and was hidden in the secret room by Sun, but Sun pretended to be pregnant, and finally the prince born by the palace maid became her son, and she overthrew the queen Hu at that time, and became the queen herself.
Xuanzong favored Sun too much, and acquiesced in and supported her move.
Chen Huaishen didn't know about this matter.
When he was defeated and captured, his mother, Empress Dowager Sun, immediately decided to promote Chen Huaiyu to the throne.
Can an abandoned son who has been a prisoner and lost his throne return to his homeland alive?
But he didn't kill him first, thinking that killing him would make Da Yan unite and make Warat have no chance, so he put him back.
When he returned to the capital, someone privately disclosed to him that he was not Sun's biological son, so Sun did not have his mother's constant affection for his son, and once he was useless, he could be discarded. Chen Huaishen didn't believe it, he only felt that this was a villain to sow discord, and later he was imprisoned in Nangong, lacking food and clothing, and Empress Dowager Sun did not come to Zhou Ji to care for him, but avoided contact with him, and after becoming more desperate day by day, he accepted this fact.
Later, when he re-ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Sun was still in a noble position, but the emperor and the empress dowager rarely saw each other. Empress Dowager Sun lived by herself behind closed doors, ignoring the outside world.
Chen Huaishen has tried to find the trace of his biological mother many times, but there is no news.
Chen Huaishen once confided in Liu Guifei after drinking, and Liu later told his son Chen Jianjun. Chen Jianjun used to be grateful to her for the Sun family for sending Jin Ling'er to protect her, and after knowing all this, his heart also lightened a little. He knew that this was what his mother, Liu, was happy to see.
And Chen Huaiyu's life experience is also very tortuous, nominally he was born to the palace maid Wu who served by Xuanzong's side, but in fact it was the result of Xuanzong's affair outside the palace.
The question is, how did Zhang Weizhao learn about these palace secrets, a grassroots Taoist doctor? Although Empress Dowager Liu was familiar with these past events, Chen Jianjun knew that she would definitely not disclose these things to Zhang Weizhao. Chen Youcong will not talk about these things with Zhang Weizhao, because he doesn't know many things.
"You said you don't know how to do magic, and you can't conjure spirits. So how did you come to know about these long-lost things? "Chen Jianjun is a keen and sentimental person, but at the same time, he is also an emperor who has reigned for 20 years, and he has accumulated a lot of power. So when he questioned Zhang Weizhao, Zhang Weizhao could feel the coercion he exuded.
But she was not afraid of this kind of questioning, her eyes did not evade, and said, "I am not familiar with ghosts, but I know people." The fate of parents is often repeated in their children, unless a powerful force intervenes to break this cycle. Your fate has reappeared in the crown prince in a different form. And you, too, repeat the fate of your father. Therefore, I deduce that the loneliness of your childhood was not an accident, and neither was the loneliness of the prince's childhood. This is a kind of reincarnation of family karma. ”
Chen Jianjun's pupils contracted sharply, and he was pulled by two forces at the same time, on the one hand, he wanted to tear off the Son of Heaven Sword from the wall and poke the demon path in front of him, on the other hand, he wanted to get to the bottom of it, and asked her why she said that his son had reproduced his fate back then? Is he accusing him of not being a good father? God knows that he has tried his best to maneuver and preserve, for the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince and Jin Ling'er!
The result of the involvement of the two forces was that he walked around in front of the imperial case, suddenly grabbed the jade paperweight on the case, and smashed it to Zhang Weizhao's feet with a click. Trying to stabilize his anger, he pointed to Zhang Weizhao's nose and said, "You tell me clearly, what does it mean that my fate will reappear in the crown prince?" What is family karmic reincarnation? If you can't tell, don't think I won't send you to the market! If you say such a thing, even the Queen Mother will not protect you again! "Caishikou is the place where the execution site is located.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Weizhao saluted, "please meditate and think carefully." Isn't it because you know very well in your heart that the Prince's childhood experience is very similar to yours? The same status is noble, but he lives very lonely. It's not because you're not doing your job, it's because you're doing your job. ”
"What does it mean to be conscientious?"
"Because you have fulfilled the fate of the descendants of the Chen family very conscientiously. It is you, your ancestors, your fathers, and the crown prince who have endured these pains that have eliminated the resentment condensed by the sword strife and the separation of flesh and blood when Taizong and Chengzu won the world. Only when the resentment dissipates, can the world usher in a prosperous era of peace! Saying this, Zhang Weizhao's eyes were blazing and he looked at Chen Jianjun. Such words and such eyes made Chen Jianjun feel deeply shocked.
But Chen Jianjun's inner suspicion and vigilance have not been completely eliminated: "Shouldn't Taizong and Chengzu expel Dalu and dominate the country?" ”
"Taizong and Chengzu are naturally destined by heaven. It is precisely because it is the destiny of heaven that he shoulders the burden that others cannot shoulder, and bears the karma that others cannot bear. The person who crosses the person is not only the Bodhisattva with low eyebrows, but also the angry King Kong. ”
"Aren't you a Taoist doctor, why are you involved with the Bodhisattva and King Kong again?"
"Whether it is a Buddha or a Taoist, or even a Western missionary, the ultimate 'Tao' is the same end."
After saying this, Chen Jianjun and Zhang Weizhao fell silent at the same time.
Chen Jianjun put his hands behind his back, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and stood quietly for a long time. The anger that had just been aroused dissipated for a while, making him feel a sudden sense of lightness.
The pain he has suffered over the years turned out not to be because of his own cowardice, but because he wanted to eliminate karma for the Chen family and the people of the world? It turns out that my suffering is not a useless struggle, but a valuable and meaningful one!
Is this the Taoist interpretation of the fate of the individual?
It is no wonder that there have been emperors in all dynasties who have been immersed in the Dao Law, and it turns out that there is indeed an unexpected realm in the Dao Law. But such a state is not easy to achieve, because a single thought can become a demon. Just now, he still wanted to use a sword to make Zhang Weizhao's blood splash five steps.
He turned around and was much calmer when he asked again: "How can we make karma dissipate as soon as possible and usher in the peace of the world?" ”
Zhang Weizhao shook his head: "There is no quick fix. You can only endure the pain one at a time, and practice little by little. Any quick fix may attract the demons in the heart, and the desire to hurry up is not reached. "It takes a long process to heal the wounds in your heart. The earlier the trauma in life, the longer it will take.
"How can I practice?"
"In fact, a drink and a peck can be practice. But at the beginning, you still need to use external forms such as chanting and meditation to give birth to a kind of pure mind. ”
"Just like you did when you assisted the crown prince in Qingxiu?"
"That's true."
"That plate full of sand you made is also a way of purifying?"
"That's right. It's called sand travel, and in addition to sand travel, painting is also a very good way to cultivate. ”
Chen Youcong couldn't help but think that when he just returned to the Forbidden City from the Prince's Mansion, the three souls and seven spirits seemed to have lost half, and he hid and painted for two years before he had a little feeling that he had recovered all his souls. It turned out that at that time, I had inadvertently practiced the Dao Fa. So he was more convinced of Zhang Weizhao's words.
After a moment of silence, he called out to the door, "Someone! ”
"The old slave is here!" Wynne immediately walked in from outside. Just now he sent away the little eunuchs who were standing under the porch and waited outside in person.
"Spread my message, and immediately seal the Taoist doctor Zhang Weizhao as a Zhaoming real person, enter the West Garden Flying Immortal Temple to practice, and enjoy the royal worship."
"Yes! The old slave takes the order! Wynne replied.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhang Weizhao thanked him.
"I hope you will practice diligently, and don't live up to my expectations."
Zhang Weizhao raised his head: "Yes!" I hope that Your Majesty will also cultivate to increase day by day, and dispel calamities for the people of the world. ”
"Good! I would like to encourage you! Chen Jianjun vaguely regained a little bit of youthful spirit.
Zhang Weizhao followed Huai En out of the Qianqing Palace. Unlike the high-spirited spirit she had just now in the Maoqin Palace, her face was full of exhaustion now. But try to keep your back as straight as possible.
Just now, she seemed to have done a super long psychological consultation, and she could only succeed, not fail. It used up almost all of her energy.
In her conversations with Chen, she uses a variety of techniques, including psychoanalysis, family systems, and logotherapy.
Psychoanalysis is used to interpret Chen Jianjun's childhood trauma, family system is used to analyze the impact of Chen's family history on the individual, and meaning therapy is used to give meaning to Chen Jianjun's personal suffering.
Psychoanalysis believes that the early experiences of a person's life set the tone of an individual's life, and the earlier the experience, the more profound the impact on a person's life. Therefore, Chen Jianjun was separated from his father at the age of one and his mother at the age of four, and was severely abused by his uncle, which is a psychological wound that he has not been able to heal.
From the point of view of the family system, separation from parents early in life is a basic pattern of the family, and each generation repeats this history in a different way, especially the one who is raised as an heir. For example, Chen Youcong, from birth to the age of six, has never seen his father. At the age of six, he recognized his father, but immediately suffered the death of his mother.
Zhang Weizhao feels that there is still a lot of content worth digging in this model, but the information she has now is limited, so she can only give an overall framework explanation first, and there is no way to sort it out in more detail.
And the use of meaning therapy is the most satisfying part of Zhang Weizhao today.
