Of course, the Shouwang Zen Master commented with a sneer: "The so-called imperial mental technique, the Buddha's checks and balances, are consistent and consistent, and will not be biased towards one side." Ming Chengzu is also extremely tolerant of Buddhism, so although Buddhism is slightly lower than the Zhengyi Sect supported by basic national policies, it is not far behind. Zhu Di once conferred the four great Dharma kings such as Dabao, Mahayana, and Daci, and the five kings of expounding, expounding, expounding, auxiliating, apologetizing, and praising Shan, as well as the second son of the Buddha of the Western Heavens, the ninth empowered national teacher, and the eighteenth empowered national teacher, and other Zen masters and monks cannot be all. What's more, when the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor, he respected the Tibetan Buddha not only in order to "dissolve the vulgarity, the border trouble", but also "worship its teaching", Chengzu believed in Tibetan secrets, as early as the time of the king of Yan, he knew that the Wusi Tibetan monk Harima, that is, the fifth Karmapa Deyin Xiepa Dao Zhuo, at the beginning of the succession, that is, the young eunuch Hou Xian, the monk Zhiguang Zhishu to welcome. "History of the Ming Dynasty" recorded that he said: "In April of the first year, he was envoyed, traveled tens of thousands of miles by land, and in December of the fourth year, he began to come with his monks. The edict attached to the horse comforted Mu Xin to welcome him.

Emperor Yan saw Fengtian Palace, favored and rich, the honor guard saddle horse will be more gold, the road He, in February of the fifth year, built Pudu Lent in Wutai Mountain, Linggu Temple, recommended by Emperor Gao, or Yan Qingyun, smallpox, nectar, Ganyu, blue bird, green lion, white elephant, white crane and relics, auspicious light day after day; Hearing that Fanbei and Tianle came down from the sky, the emperor was overjoyed, and Yanchen congratulated. "Since Harima, etc., after coming to Beijing, the supernatural has been repeatedly revealed, and the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty also gave birth to great faith, and named Harima, "Ten Thousand Lines with the Ten Directions, the Most Victorious, the Wisdom and the Goodness, the Blessing of the Country, the Great Treasure of the Buddha, the King of the West Heaven, the Great Kindness and Freedom of the Buddha", and ordered to lead the world's Buddhist affairs. Since then, Chengzu has devoted himself to Buddhist scriptures, and composed Buddhist songs, so that singing and dancing in the palace, and even some ministers were deposed because of disrespect for Buddhism, such as Wang Hong, who served in the Hanlin Academy, Chengzu ordered him to fill in the lyrics for the Buddhist songs, in order to award the Buddhist songs outside the plug, Wang Hongqian was sluggish, squeezed out for the ministers, and was finally deposed and no longer used. ”

The emperor's belief in hidden secrets is simply incredible. Of course, on the surface, this is just a reward for the merit of the monk Daoyan who assisted Ming Chengzu Zhu Di in the "change of Jingyan", Master Daoyan's common name is Yao Guangxiao, a native of Wu County, Jiangnan, and later Tang Bohu is his little fellow countryman. At the age of fourteen, he cut his hair and became a monk, and his Dharma name was Daoyan. At the age of forty-eight, he was recommended to enter the palace of King Yan to assist the princes Zhu Di, and finally helped King Yan win the world. In view of the contribution of Master Daoyan in the "Battle of Jingyan", Zhu Di, the king of Yan, not only "regarded merit as the first", but also was named "Zishan Doctor", and it is particularly worth mentioning, he was given the name Guangxiao, and was awarded the title of "Rongguo Gong", the position and the black-clothed prime minister, and the endless scenery.

If there is something good on the top, it will naturally go up and down. The eunuchs and ministers followed suit and built temples for the Buddha, which was more than a trend, just like the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty reappeared yesterday. At that time, the history recorded that "those who established a Buddhist temple to pray for blessings were all over the clouds inside and outside the city of Nanjing." That is, after Ming Chengzu moved the capital from Yingtianfu, he not only ordered Yao Guangxiao to supervise the new capital and create a new temple, but also rebuilt many Tibetan secret monasteries in the Yuan Dynasty, renamed Chongguo Temple in the Yuan Dynasty as Dalong Shanhuguo Temple, expanded the Da Nengren Temple, Da Ci'en Temple, and made the three temples the largest temple in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. ”

And the next era that can be compared with Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao, a pair of monarchs and ministers, is the era of Ming Xianzong. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Taoist priest Sun Daoyu was the real person, and then Li Zi Province heard the news. This person is from Nanchang. The political secretary was to be elected to the post in Beijing, but because of the corruption incident, he did not return. Learning is to learn the Five Thunder Method, thicken the knots Liang Fang and Qian Yi, and please Ming Xianzong with talismans. In 1479, in the fifteenth year of Chenghua, he was specially appointed Taichang Cheng, changed to Lin Yuan Supervisor, and gradually intervened in political affairs.

Lizi Province has been smooth sailing, on the one hand, there are real materials, and on the other hand, it has taken the upper route. Liang Fang, the chamberlain, is greedy and deceitful, and is on a par with Wei Xing. During the Chenghua period, Wan Guifei Wan Zhen'er was favored, and he sent her beautiful pearls and treasures every day to please her. His henchmen Qian Neng, Wei Jun, Wang Jing, etc., vied for the name of lending to the emperor for procurement, and went out to major towns to serve as eunuchs, where they disturbed trouble and looted property, but the emperor didn't ask about these things because of the relationship between Wan Guifei. Liang Fang also introduced Li Zi Province and the monk Jixiao, colluded with each other, and used improper means to seek personal gains. There are thousands of people who were directly ordained by them with the holy decree, all of whom are called ministers, and some of them have even jumped from ordinary people who have no merit to become Taichangqing. Zheng Shi, the governor of Shaanxi, exposed Liang Fang and was dismissed.

Zheng Shi was an upright official, and was punished unjustly, and the common people sympathized with him and cried to send him off, and when the emperor heard this, he regretted it a little, so he drove away ten ministers, and threw six into prison, and issued an edict that from now on, those who passed the holy decree and granted official positions should be repeated, but Liang Fang was not punished. Commanding Yuan Yuan to dedicate land to build a Buddhist temple, Liang Fang asked the emperor to let him inherit the Marquis of Guangping, and Xianzong actually complied. Liang Fang's mother was in the old family, so Liang Fang asked Xianzong for permission to let his younger brother, Jinyiwei, take care of Liang De and go back and forth between Jingshi and Xinhui to serve his old mother. Liang De took the opportunity to collect flowers, trees, birds and birds everywhere in Guangdong, and paid tribute to the emperor as a private person. All the expenses for his boats, vehicles, porters, ration packs, and other expenses were provided by the government, which became a scourge to the local officials and people. Therefore, Peng Shao, the political envoy of Guangdong Zuobu, condemned Liang Fang. Liang Fang was furious, made a message to Xianzong, and transferred Peng Shao to Guizhou.

Although Ming Xianzong believes in Fu Zheng, but especially obsessed with the "Esoteric Teaching" in Tibetan Buddhism, the Feng Fan monk Zha Pa Jian Shen Wan Xing solemn merit is the most victorious wisdom Yuan Ming Nengren induction of the manifestation of the national light religion Hong Miao Dawu Dharma King Xitian Zhishan Vajra Puji Great Wisdom Buddha, its disciples Za Shiba, Suo Nan Jian Shen, Duanzhu are also lost as national teachers, Xi Xuan. For the food utensils, the king is like the king. In and out of the shuttle, the guards are in the lead, and there are thousands of people in brocade clothes and jade food. Take the parietal bone of the barren mound as a number of beads, and the skull as the bowl. gave Wei Yuan and others a serious advice in the matter, but did not accept it. Seeking into Zasipa as the Dharma King, Banzhuo Er Zangbu as the national teacher, and the title of Zhanzhu as the Wanxing Qingxu Zhenru Freedom Guangshan Puhui Hongdu Miaoying taught the Yiguo Zhengjue Dharma King Xitian Yuanzhi Great Compassion Buddha, and also named the West Heaven Buddha Za Lost Tibetan Bu, Zha Lost Jianshen, Milk Slave Bandan, Suo Nan Jian Shen, and Dharma Ling Zhan as the Dharma King, and other people who bestowed the West Heaven Buddha, the Great Teacher, the National Teacher, and the Zen Master are incalculable. The plume is a real person, a master, and a full of money. The gold seal of the great master or above, the real jade crown, jade belt, jade, silver medal. Ji Xiaoyou treacherously stole power, and please obey it. In the twenty-first year of Chenghua, the stars changed, the officials talked about their crimes, and they began to be for the people, and the monks were the same.

This monk Jixiao is also a wild fox Zen, relying on the eunuch Liang Fang to ascend to the sky in one step, and he was awarded the monk Lu Si Zuo Jueyi. Enter the right good world, and live as the national teacher of Tongyuan Yijiao Guangshan. He deleted the Japanese temptation emperor as a Buddhist thing, engaged in fairy magic in the palace, turned stones into gold alchemy tricks, built a large Yongchang Temple in the west city, forced hundreds of dwellings, and spent hundreds of thousands of national funds. Many officials can't look past it. But because of the emperor's support, the officials dared to be angry. Lin Jun, a member of the foreign staff, wrote a book about Liang Fang and Monk Jixiao's calamity to the country and the people, but he annoyed the emperor and was arrested and imprisoned. When the eunuch Huai'en found out about this, he argued for Lin Jun, but Xianzong didn't listen at all. So, Huai En directly went to the officials of the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division, who was in charge of this matter at that time, and said to them: "You Cao is handsome. Jun died, how could you live! Later, Xianzong released Lin Jun.

After a period of time, Xianzong went to inspect the inner treasury and found that all the seven cellars of gold accumulated in several dynasties had been used up, so he said to Liang Fang and another eunuch Wei Xing: "The waste of the treasury is all because of the two of you." Wei Xing didn't dare to answer, but Liang Fang quibbled: "The construction of the Manifestation Palace and various ancestral temples is just to pray for His Majesty's blessings for ten thousand years." Xianzong said unhappily: "I don't find fault with you, but the people who come after you will have to deal with you." Liang Fang was very scared, so she lobbied Wan Guifei and asked her to persuade the emperor to abolish the crown prince Zhu Youzhu and establish King Xing as the crown prince. After all, at this moment, Concubine Wan's status is also stormy.

Originally, Concubine Wan still had the ability to have children, and she didn't let others give birth to her, in order to wait for another one to be the heir to the throne. Since October of the second year of Chenghua, the first son born by Concubine Wan died, and Concubine Bai of Xianzong gave birth to a second son in April of the fifth year of Chenghua, and there was indeed more than two years in the middle that Xianzong did not give birth to a child. Legend has it that Concubine Wan was forced to have an abortion, because the queen could not give birth, who was the first to give birth to a son during this time, the son was the prince, and the mother would be very valuable with her son, but Concubine Wan was too clever to calculate, but she didn't prevent a fish from slipping through the net.

Li Tangmei, the biological mother of Zhu Youzhi of the later Ming Xiaozong, had a bizarre background. It is the spoils of the Tusi rebellion in Guangxi, whose surname is Li, whose name is Tang Mei, who was born in the second year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, and his parents died since he was a child. When he was young, he was adopted by a relative in Guiling, Hexian County, Guangxi. After the Tusi rebellion was quelled in the second year of Chenghua, after the girl came to the capital, 14-year-old Li Tangmei was registered as Li Tangmei when she was registered because of the unclear pronunciation of "Li" and "Ji". Therefore, she has always been called "Ji Niangniang" in history, and Li Tangmei has been forgotten.

Li Tangmei was first responsible for cleaning up in the harem Yangxin Hall and Le Shou Hall, because she had read books, because of her "vigilance and literacy", Empress Dowager Qian "gave her a history of women". In the Ming Dynasty, Nushi was the staff member in charge of managing the library in the Wenyuan Pavilion. Wenyuan Pavilion has a collection of hundreds of thousands of books from the past dynasties of China, and is a place for the emperor or cabinet scholars to consult historical books and read books and discuss history. Li Tangmei's daily work is to organize and place all kinds of books in the library, classify them and put them on the shelves, or show them books according to the needs of the royal family. One day, after Ming Xianzong retreated from the court, he was idle, came to Wenyuan Pavilion, saw that the windows in the pavilion were bright and clean, smelled a faint fragrance, and felt happy. Ming Xianzong asked Li Tangmei about the hidden things, and the articulate Li Tangmei not only answered in detail, but also fascinated Xianzong with her pure and pretty appearance.
