Chapter 19 Nanjing, Chengdu
At six o'clock in the evening, a group of five of us sat in the private room of a hotel in Wenjiang District, Chengdu, eating authentic Sichuan hot pot, full of red light.
"When the toad is gone, the feeling in my heart is much easier!" I laughed as I ate the prawns.
"What? Do you still care that the toad threw you off the dragon boat in Jilin City? The seventh master asked with a smile.
"Of course!" I frowned: "No matter how you say it, it's a life!" If it were me, I would definitely not do this, there are so many ways to do it, if people are gone, they will be gone forever! This kind of person, when encountering things, the selfish nature is immediately exposed, and it is very fake, and it can't be deeply acquainted! ”
"Hmm......" The seventh master shook his head slightly: "Mencius said that sex is inherently good, Xunzi said that sex is inherently evil, the two are opposite, which one do you think is right?" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect the Seventh Master to ask this kind of question, I didn't know how to answer it for a while, and turned my head to look at the cloth bag monk who was sitting on the side and eating with clear soup and vegetables: "Master, what do you think?" ”
"It's a bit of both." The Budai monk ate shabu-shabu by himself, and he ate it with relish, and he didn't raise his head: "Good and evil are one, and all living beings with independent consciousness are composed of good and evil, and there is no so-called order or origin." If you think about it, there can be evil if there is good, and there can be good if there is only one in the world, then it is equivalent to non-existent, right? ”
Yes, as soon as the old monk said this, I was even more confused, and nodded in response: "Old clam, what do you say?" ”
"I agree with the master!" There were a bunch of clam shells like a hill in front of the old clam, and his face was full of sweat, and he gasped from time to time.
"I also think what the master said makes sense. Everything in the world is relative, there is yin and yang, there is heaven and earth, there is white and black, if there is only one, if there is no relative, isn't it equivalent to nothing? I said to the Seventh Master.
"The master is a Buddhist monk, and Buddhism pays attention to promoting good and punishing evil, but it is also said that he puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha." The seventh master smiled: "Xiao Gu, don't say that you won't do it if you are in that position, no one can judge the result of what has not happened in the world, otherwise, life will be boring." ”
Yes, how can the seventh master still be suspected of washing the toad on the ground! I shrugged my shoulders and nodded: "Well, I may be a little selfish for myself, but I shouldn't be able to give up the lives of my companions for myself like a toad, this is too unbelievable." By the way, beauty, what is our goal this time? ”
"We're here for tourism this time, not for action." Liang Ruoyi's pretty face was flushed, like a ripe red apple!
"Pull it down, you'll be confused!" I smiled wryly: "When I come to Chengdu at this time, what else can I do besides eating hot pot?" This is a great ......"
"You can still ski!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly put on a coquettish posture and said.
I couldn't help but shudder: "Okay, okay, skiing!" ”
"Chengdu is almost 3,000 years old." The Seventh Master smiled and said, "Has Xiao Gu been here before?" ”
I shook my head: "I haven't been here, but a few classmates studied here at the beginning, and they all said that it was good here, and I really wanted to come here, as well as Lhasa, Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, which are a few favorite cities in the west." ”
"Well, that's all there is to the west." The seventh master continued while wiping his hands: "In addition to several small countries that have built their capitals in Chengdu, there has also been a great unified dynasty that has also built its capital here, although it is the nature of accompanying the capital, do you know which dynasty it is?" ”
"Chengdu? ......I touched my chin and thought for a while: "I don't know, I really can't think of this." ”
"Tang Dynasty!" The old clam interjected.
"That's right, it's the Tang Dynasty." The seventh master said with a smile: "In 755 AD, An Lushan and Shi Siming launched the Anshi Rebellion, and a year later, the rebels invaded the capital Chang'an, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji had no choice but to escape with his beloved concubine Yang Yuhuan. When he fled halfway, his subordinates killed all of the Yang family, Tang Xuanzong suddenly felt that his life was a failure, and the emperor didn't want to do it, it happened that the prince Li Heng had the intention of ascending the throne at this time, although Tang Xuanzong was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he still parted ways with his son and ran to Chengdu, and the prince Li Heng, soon after ascending the throne in Lingwu, was Tang Suzong, and Li Longji, the Tang Ming Emperor, became the emperor in Chengdu. ”
"After that, Chengdu became Nanjing?" I asked.
"That's right." The seventh master nodded: "Tang Xuanzong was high-spirited in the first half of his life, how could he accept a mere emperor in his later years, but at that time the world was in chaos, and he had no military power in his hands, so he simply let go and asked his son to do it, but he was alone in Chengdu, and he felt bored, and the emperor's momentum could not be lost, so he simply upgraded Chengdu, which belonged to Yizhou Mansion at that time, to Chengdu Mansion, called 'Nanjing', which means the southern capital of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"I've never heard of this either. And then? I asked.
"Later, in 757 AD, An Lushan was killed, and Tang Xuanzong returned to Chang'an." The Seventh Master continued: "But during this time in Chengdu, Tang Xuanzong was idle and quietly built a place. ”
"Tombs?" The old clam doesn't seem to know.
"Well, at that time, Tang Xuanzong really thought that he couldn't go back, think about it, the rebels broke through the capital of the Tang Dynasty Empire in a year's work, the momentum was like a rainbow, the Tang Army was disheartened at that time, and the princes from all walks of life also stood still, waiting to see the changes, no matter how you look at it, you feel that the Tang Empire is going to be finished, Tang Xuanzong was afraid that he would not be able to return to the ancestral tomb after he died, so he hurriedly asked someone to build a tomb for himself." When the Seventh Master said this, he lowered his voice and said: "Besides, when Tang Xuanzong escaped from Chang'an, although he was in a hurry, there were a lot of things to bring, and Hanjia was among them. ”
"Han Jia was not buried in the imperial tomb of the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty at that time?" Liang Ruoyi interjected.
"Nope." The seventh master waved his hand: "During the Tang Dynasty, the first emperor to find out the Han Jia was Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, so he cherished the Han Jia very much and wanted to bury it with him." But what he didn't expect was that he had just built a mausoleum in Chengdu, and Han Jia was buried in advance, but An Lushan was killed at this time, Tang Suzong was afraid that his father would take the opportunity to take back the throne, so he immediately sent someone to meet Tang Xuanzong, the emperor, and wanted to bring him back to Chang'an and put him under house arrest. Li Longji couldn't, so he had to follow back to Chang'an, and Hanjia was buried in this mausoleum in Chengdu. ”
"I remember that Li Longji died a few years later, and before he died, he didn't take Hanjia back?" I wondered.
"Not a chance." The seventh master took out a toothpick, covered his mouth with his left hand, picked his teeth and buzzed: "Five years after returning to Chang'an, in 762 AD, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji died in Chang'an at the age of seventy-eight, which can be regarded as a long life at that time. After his death, he was buried in the originally built Tang Tai Mausoleum, which is now well preserved and magnificent. At this time, Tang Suzong Li Heng wanted to get back the Han Jia, but because he was weak and sick, he was also sick in bed, and he was suspicious, and he didn't know who to call to get the Han Jia for a while, just like that, a few months after his father's death, he also followed......"
I couldn't help but sigh when I heard it: "This father and son are really father and son, I don't know how I feel about my father when I am a son." ”
"There were several father-son emperors in the Tang Dynasty who were in such a situation, and the next pair is the same." The Seventh Master sighed and continued: "Since the death of these two emperors in the same year, the Tang Empire has been in a state of chaos. It took eight years for the Anshi Rebellion to be pacified, until 779 AD, Tang Dezong Li Shi ascended the throne, after ascending the throne, the emperor carried out drastic reforms, and soon had a Zhongxing atmosphere, but within a few years, the Jingyuan Mutiny broke out, poor Tang Dezong, became the third emperor of the Tang Empire to escape from the palace, Zhongxing was also gone, and in the process, he set up the prince Li Yu, began to cultivate his own power. ”
"Li Yu, I know this person." I suddenly remembered a story that my second uncle told me before: "I remember that he once divorced a concubine for his position as the crown prince, and I thought it was very interesting to listen to it at the time, more than a thousand years ago, there was also a talk of divorce." ”
