Chapter 165: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Later, Liang Fang was never activated, but compared to the fate of the Eight Tigers of Ming Wuzong, he was already Amitabha.
Li Zi Province, issued an edict to die in prison.
Monk Jixiao was executed.
Even if it is a living immortal and a wild fox Zen, he fell without exertion in front of the imperial power that is unified in the world.
The supernatural power was purged, and then, Emperor Xiaozong began to rectify the official system, and all the officials of the Chenghua Dynasty who made their fortune through bribery and smuggling were replaced, and the reform first began with the cabinet, and the "Papier-mâché Three Pavilion Elders" headed by Qi Wanan were dismissed.
At the same time, Xiaozong used a large number of Confucian scholars. like Wang Shu, Huai'en, Ma Wensheng and other officials who were degraded in the Chenghua Dynasty because of their outspokenness; Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and other virtuous ministers. For Yu Qian to build the shrine, both in the court and in the palace are new, Confucianism called the order of the dynasty Qingning. Confucianism instead of Buddhism in the early government of Hongzhi, to the late Chenghua chaotic court of the court a stimulant, and the emperor and show generosity and kindness, Zhu Youzhi ascended the throne, posthumously the biological mother Li Tangmei as "filial piety, benevolence, respect, Zhuang Zhuang Tiancheng Holy Empress Dowager", and moved to the Maoling Shrine to worship the temple. Xiaozong missed the Queen Mother, sent the eunuch Cai Yong to visit the Queen Mother's family, and sent officials to secretly search for it three times, but returned in vain three times. showed great tolerance to Wan Guifei's family, who persecuted his biological mother at the beginning. For Wan Guifei herself, she did not follow the advice of her subordinates to cut her guilt.
The most important measures of filial piety in the domestic political road were to vigorously build water conservancy, develop agriculture, and prosper the economy. In May of the second year of Hongzhi, the Yellow River broke in Kaifeng, and Xiaozong ordered Bai Ang, the left servant of the household department, to lead 50,000 people to repair it. In the fifth year of Hongzhi, the Susong River was silted up and flooded. Xu Guan, the servant of the Ministry of Filial Piety, presided over the governance, which lasted nearly three years before it was completed. Since then, Susong has eliminated the flood and once again become the land of fish and rice. Due to the ups and downs of his early life, Xiaozong has always been weak and sickly. However, Xiaozong was diligent in political affairs, not only did he have to go every day in the early dynasty, but also reopened the afternoon dynasty, so that the ministers had more opportunities to assist the emperor in handling government affairs. At the same time, he reopened the sutra and feast lectures, and consulted Confucian ministers on how to govern the country. Xiaozong also opened up the Wenhua Hall to discuss politics, and its role was to discuss the way of governing the country and discuss political affairs with the cabinet in the spare time of the early and afternoon dynasties.
Emperor Xiaozong's diligence was finally rewarded, the Hongzhi court officials ruled the Qingming, appointed the virtuous to enable, suppressed the eunuchs, diligent in the administration, advocated economy, and rested with the people, which was a rare period of economic prosperity in the history of the Ming Dynasty and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It is called "Hongzhi Zhongxing" by Confucianism. Xiaozong is a rare emperor in Chinese history who is indifferent to women, not only did he not have a favorite concubine, but also did not set up a concubine, but lived a life of a loving husband and wife with the empress Zhang.
Of course, in the later years of the reign of Xiaozong, he developed a great interest in Buddhism. On the one hand, because of the emperor's mental art, he suppressed the Confucianism who could not lose his tail, and at the same time, because of Xiaozong's difficult childhood, his health has been bad, and he hopes to change his physical condition through the art of immortality. Therefore, the generations of Fang Xiandao mixed into the palace again, and the eunuch Li Guang was one of them, and he won the Pang Xin of filial piety. Later, Li Guang suddenly committed suicide, Xiaozong thought that Li Guang had a book from heaven in his family, and ordered someone to search, but found Li Guang's account books of corruption and bribery, and Xiaozong woke up. The Li Guang incident woke up the Emperor Xiaozong, who had been sleeping for many years and walked on thin ice, and he began the second and last period of his life of diligent government. Re-Yuan Danmen Yushi and reuse Liu Daxia, Dai Shan and other Confucian ministers.
In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Xiaozong was seriously ill in May, and when he was dying, he summoned the Confucian ministers Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, etc. to the Qianqing Palace to accept Gu Ming, and passed on the order to the prince Zhu Houzhao, and told Zhu Qing to say: "The prince is very smart, but he is still young, and he is so happy, Zhu Qing should assist him well, so that he can take on a great responsibility, and he will die blindly." In the end, the last instruction to Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao was to "appoint virtuous ministers". On the seventh day of the fifth month, the thirty-six-year-old filial piety passed away in the Qianqing Palace. Respect Jian, Tianming, Taoism, sincerity, purity, righteousness, shengwen, Shenwu, benevolence, and great virtue to respect the emperor. The temple number is Xiaozong, and he is buried in the capital Changping Tailing. He has implemented a Confucian filial piety throughout his life, honored his father, maintained the tradition, and focused on generosity, loyalty, and filial piety.
Although because of relying on the black history of the Yuan Dynasty, the originally outstanding Quanzhen Dao and other factions began to decline, in addition to the Dao system of the seven sons of Quanzhen, other Southern Sects and Five Ancestors Sects have become independent. However, after Taizu and Chengzu, the successive rulers of the Ming Dynasty have always pursued the combination of the three religions and the preferential policy of Dandao, but the Zhengyi Fu and the Wudang Xuanwu replaced the Danfa of the Quanzhen Dao and became the national textbook. Regarding the compilation of the Taoist book, although Cheng Zu was very active, he finally collapsed before his work. Renzong and Xuanzong succeeded successively, and the period was very short, and they did not have time to take care of this. And Yingzong Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, the rule of the Ming Dynasty due to decades of operation, has been "rich in the sea, early in the morning of the court and the field", Ming Yingzong is the inheritance of the ancestors' will, in the orthodox nine years of Shao to supervise the school, the beginning of the revision, the addition of the unprepared, the publication of the board of the distribution, to the orthodoxy ten years to complete, a total of 5,300 volumes, called "Orthodox Daozang", awarded to the world.
Beginning with Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's basic policy of combining the three religions, his successors all acted in accordance with this will. In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the court's respect for Dandao Yushi rose and fell, sometimes quite much more than Jin Yuan, and not inferior to the two Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many Taoist priests who were awarded real people, high priests, and even knighthoods. Especially during the reign of Emperor Xianzong Chenghua and Emperor Shizong Jiajing, some Taoist priests were extremely popular ministers, with prestige in hand, and grace for life, and their descendants caused "the world's corporal doctors to follow the wind".
At that time, Dandao's social influence and status were unprecedented. Of course, there are also troughs, because of Li Guang's involvement, Confucian ministers are serious and quick to attack all similar signs of Dan Dao entering the palace. Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, that is, the most popular Zhengde in folklore, a very controversial emperor in history, the most tossed emperor, is also accustomed to Dan Dao, Zen dense to fill the leopard room, so he inexplicably fell into the water and died. Then there was Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi, the Jiajing Emperor was very intelligent, although he was obsessed with Taoism, but this emperor who pursued immortality learned to delegate power to Confucian ministers. Then there was Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan, Emperor Longqing, Emperor Thrifty, and the Son of Peace, who obeyed the words of Confucian ministers.
There is nothing to do in the world, the Son of Heaven hangs down and governs, the Confucian ministers are slightly Ming, the Dan Dao is contained, and the Taoist gate with a black history has become a free school, and at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the situation of the edict and the official discussion reappeared. On that occasion, the Taoist priests from Li Zi Province to the following real people, Gao Shi and Zhengyi Dharma-performing Taoist officials were all deposed. The real person descended to the left, and the Coats descended to the left, chasing the seals and jade. The Daolu Division retained eight members of the first class, and the rest were deposed. Fortunately, in the locality, each government has always set up a Taoist capital, a discipline department, and a person from the main and deputy capitals, among them, the Zhengdu Ji from the nine products, so that the Longhu Mountain forces can survive.
During the Longqing period, the Confucian ministers simply encouraged the Son of Heaven to reform the status of Zhang Tianshi and the real person, and stop mentioning the point. Since then, Longhu Mountain has been in a slump, until three hundred years later, it has allowed the Quanzhen Dao to push backwards, which is something that Ming Taizu never expected.
The Son of Heaven was mediocre, and the power struggle between the Confucian cabinets intensified. Daomen is like walking on thin ice, in contrast, Buddhism because of the need for the court to settle things and calm the people and make a comeback, the so-called world's famous mountain monks account for the majority, the monks preach the scriptures, and naturally want to be outstanding where the spirit is, but it is a pity that the predecessors occupied the blessed land, and the latecomers naturally cast their eyes on those borderless places...... What the? Already the Lord? Those remnants of the Quanzhen Dao traitors are also worthy of the surname Zhao?
In the thirteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor of the Zen master and one of the four famous monks of the Ming Dynasty, the monk Hanshan wanted to build a temple in front of the Taiqing Palace in Laoshan Mountain, called Haiyin Temple. Master Hanshan's common name is Cai Deqing, the word is sealed, and the law name is Hanshan. A native of Quanjiao, Zhejiang, he was born in the 25th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. He became a monk at the age of 17 at Bao'en Monastery in Nanjing, and showed his wisdom at an early age: at the age of ten, he read a subset of scriptures and histories and never forgot them, and he liked poems and songs. After becoming a monk, he devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, and had a deep knowledge in the study of Buddhism, and wrote a lot: he wrote more than ten kinds of scriptures, such as "The General Meaning of the Lotus Sutra", "The Straight Explanation of the Yuanjue Sutra", "The Straight Explanation of the Mahayana Theory of Initiation", "The Records of the Guanlenga Sutra", "The Doubtful Decision of Vajra", "The Brief Commentary on the Commentary on the Commentary on the Eighty-Eight Ancestors", "The True Shadow of the Eighty-Eight Ancestors", "The Mean of the Mean", "The Commentary on the Tao Te Ching of Laozi", "The Commentary on the Inner Chapter of Zhuangzi", etc., involving the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Master Hanshan's Buddhism is not profound, he advocated the integration of Zen Buddhism and Huayan Buddhism, and advocated the integration of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, which was approved by the dignitaries at that time. In the early years of Wanli, he traveled to the capital, and was recommended to pray for the birthday of the Empress Dowager Li, and was favored by the Empress Dowager. In the eleventh year of Wanli, Hanshan traveled to Laoshan and wanted to expand the temple in Naluoyan Cave, but had to find another place due to geographical restrictions. In the twelfth year of Wanli, he saw that the Taiqing Palace was depressed and withered, so he had the intention of replacing it. The four monks are empty, but they can't see through the inheritance behind them, which can be described as greedy, and they fall into the devil's dye.
China's famous mountains and rivers, blessed lands and caves, are basically occupied by immortals. Laoshan is no exception. Taoism developed very prosperously after this enclosure, Qiu Chuji in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Zhang Sanfeng in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" have all practiced in Laoshan Mountain. People believe that there are immortals living in Laoshan Mountain, so they give this place a nickname: the house of the gods, the house of the supernatural. At that time, the original owner of Laoshan Taiqing Palace had already become the Quanzhen Dao, but the Quanzhen Dao was the first year of the first year, the Buddhism was done fifteen, and the thirteenth year of Wanli, Hanshan spent a huge amount of money to build the Buddhist temple "Haiyin Temple" in front of the Taiqing Palace, which triggered a land dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Empress Dowager Li is a woman's family, believing in Buddhism that is good at excess, she learned that Hanshan wanted to build Haiyin Temple in front of the Taiqing Palace, and sent harem concubines to help Hanshan build a temple. In the eighteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Haiyin Temple was completed, it stood in front of the Taiqing Palace, with its majestic momentum, the Taiqing Palace was blocked tightly, and the Taiqing Palace formed a situation of confrontation with Buddhism.
