I told the abbot what General Wang said about the emperor's teasing of Buddhism.

The abbot was furious after hearing this, slapped the chair and stood up and scolded, This dog emperor. When the army was defeated and Dengfeng, if it wasn't for my Shaolin to help, the bones would have been gone.

I said "ah", but I didn't expect Shaolin to help Zhu Yuanzhang, so I asked about the situation that day.

The abbot said, although this matter has not been recorded in history, there are many rumors among the people. I don't know if you have ever heard of "Ma Lamei's capture of Taizu" this time?

I replied, "My disciple has not heard of it."

Xiao Yunmei said, I know, I know. I've heard the book say.

The abbot said, "Tell me and hear it."

Xiao Yunmei cleared her throat and learned the appearance of a storyteller: It is said that Taizu raised a rebel army and attacked the Yuan soldiers all the way, and the Yuan soldiers were defeated and retreated, and the battle line of the rebel army became longer and longer, and the grain and grass could not be supplied. On this day, Taizu led the army to pass near Dengfeng, and saw that there was a towering mountain, and there was a big village in the mountain, and the owner of the cottage was surnamed Ma. Taizu thought that since I don't have much grain and grass, it is better to borrow some from the owner of this horse village, so he sent someone into the village to borrow grain, who expected that the owner of the horse village refused, Taizu was furious after hearing this, and personally held a weapon and rode a war horse to invite the battle. The owner of the horse village was not afraid, opened the door of the village, and released the soldiers and horses. The leader is a female general, the female general is the daughter of the owner of the horse village Ma Lamei, I saw Ma Lamei wearing golden armor, wearing a red cloak, holding a silver robbery, so not majestic. When Taizu saw it, his heart suddenly rose to despise the enemy, and he secretly thought, what can I do when I am a cottage, but it is women and children who have never wanted to fight. Benle stepped forward and fought with Maramei, and after only three rounds, Marame was defeated, so he turned around and left. Taizu dragged the Qinglong Yanyue Knife to chase the enemy closely, and suddenly Ma Lamei turned around and drew a bow and shot, and the arrow hit Taizu's helmet......

The abbot interrupted, how did the next few sentences sound like Guan Yu fighting Huang Zhong?

Xiao Yunmei blushed and said that I had listened to too many stories, and the story was confused, and let me tell it again. In only three rounds, Ma Lamei was defeated, turned around and left, Taizu didn't know that the other party had a plan, and chased the enemy closely, and suddenly the horse's feet were weak and fell into the pit. Ma Lamei leaned over and captured Taizu, which is the origin of the story of "Ma Lamei Captures Taizu Wisely".

The abbot couldn't help but applaud and said, Well said, and then what?

Xiao Yunmei was very happy to see the abbot applauding, and then said: It is said that Ma Lamei took Taizu into the village, and the owner of Ma Village saw Taizu's thick eyebrows and big ears, and his spirit was extraordinary, and he was very happy in his heart, and secretly thought that he had not been able to find a good son-in-law. Seeing that Taizu's exit was the world, the master of the horse village thought that this person's anger was not small, but he didn't want to take a closer look, this person actually had the aura of an emperor hidden around him, and hurriedly knelt down and asked Ma Lamei to personally untie Taizu. Although Taizu was determined to be in the world and had no idea of marriage, he saw that Ma Lamei was heroic, young and beautiful, and had more love in his heart, so he praised, sure enough, the woman did not let her have eyebrows, this woman is wise and resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable. But I don't know the girl's name? The owner of the horse village saw that Taizu looked at Ma Lamei, and hurriedly matched it, and the two got married that day. After that, under the advice of Ma Lamei, Taizu won the world all the way. Taizu was the grace of Mrs. Xie and named Ma Lamei as the queen of the world, which became a good story.

After hearing this, the abbot said that the storytelling was really unreliable. Zhu Yuanzhang relied on Liu Bowen to win the world, what does it have to do with Queen Ma? Besides, the owner of the horse village wanted to kill Zhu Yuanzhang that day, and when he saw that there was an imperial aura hidden in his body, he hurriedly knelt down, which was simply nonsense.

I asked, strange, how can this storyteller call the queen by her name? Also, why doesn't the storyteller mention the help of my Shaolin monks?

The abbot said, Queen Ma's name is unknown to everyone, although Queen Ma is the mother of a country, she is diligent and thrifty, simple, fair and honest, and is deeply loved by the people. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to reward Queen Ma's family, but Emperor Ma resolutely refused, and everyone felt that Queen Ma was like a plum, strong and resolute, loyal and noble, so the people privately called the queen Ma Lamei. What Xiao Yunmei said earlier was probably good, but the latter was made up by the imperial court. After Ma Lamei captured Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would lose, so he sent someone to Shaolin for help. The teacher remembered that Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising was for the people, so he personally led 500 monks to rescue him. When I arrived at the cottage, the owner of the village saw that the monks of Shaolin Temple visited, opened the village and put it in, and received it in person. The teacher told the master of the horse village about the benefits and harms, and the owner of the horse village admired Shaolin for a long time, and heard the teacher say that Zhu Yuanzhang was an uprising for the peasants, and released Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot. I have been raising it in the cottage for three months, and then I have taken care of my body. Before leaving, the owner of the horse village apologized, not only gave him grain and grass, but also gave Ma Lamei to him as his wife.

I said, if this is the case, wouldn't my Shaolin be kind to Zhu Yuanzhang? He gave the old abbot Bai Aya 20 years ago, and it was really a favor and revenge.

The abbot said, I have heard that his parents starved to death because the monk did not save him, I think that the teacher had saved his life, this merit is over, no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang will never deliberately make things difficult for my Buddhist monks. Twenty years ago, Hui En lost the game, and he ordered the death of his teacher, and I couldn't figure it out at the time. Now that I think about it, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who didn't want outsiders to know about his mentor's rescue, so he gave his mentor death in the name of losing the game. only listened to the Jianghu storyteller who never said that Zhu Yuanzhang was beaten, so you can know that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want others to know about this trouble.

I asked again, every time I hear about Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising, I don't know why? Is it true that the people were not able to make a living and the people could not live, so they revolted everywhere?

The abbot said, exactly. After Emperor Yuan Shun succeeded to the throne, he ordered the traitor Boyan to be the right prime minister. Boyan was self-serving, authoritarian, and disgusted with martial arts, and abolished the imperial examination, making it hopeless for Confucian scholars to enter the ranks. Boyan was afraid that our Han people would revolt, and ordered the Han people not to raise horses and collect weapons. For a while, it was inconvenient for the Han people to travel, and people of various factions were even more furious, how could they break into the rivers and lakes without self-defense weapons? Seeing this, Emperor Yuan Shun hurriedly dismissed Boyan from his post and turned Tokoff into a prime minister. The incompetence of the man named Tokhtar coincided with the flooding of the Yellow River, and the treasury was quickly depleted. In order to make up for the state treasury, Totokh initiated a change in the banknote law, causing the prices of the people to rise sharply, and in order to save the danger of the Yellow River, the officials took the opportunity to collect money and extort money from the people.

I said that this is so, this is the official coercion and the people's rebellion.

The abbot sighed with emotion, although the emperor was not a thing, playing with our Buddhism, but he was kind to the world. If he hadn't rebelled and seized the world, how could he have a rich and stable life today.

When the abbot heard that Nan Daozun was the leader of the Fuso ninjas, he was surprised, saying that Daozun had come to Shaolin to ask for a martial arts competition, but the teacher did not agree. You think, Shaolin is a holy place for martial arts, and I don't know how many people come to challenge it all year round in order to become famous. If we Shaolin fight with them every day, don't do other serious things.

I said that Daozun wanted to pull me into the gang, but I didn't agree, so he wanted to attack our Shaolin, and I was attacked by the ninjas he sent on the way back.

The abbot groaned, explaining that the gun is easy to dodge and the arrow is difficult to defend against, and I have to inform everyone to be careful about this.

I said, these days I was worried outside, always afraid that the abbot master would be given death, and now that I have come back to see the master well, I am relieved. If the master is really given to death, the apprentice will never have the face to return to Shaolin again, and he will be buried in the future, and he will not have the face to see the master.

The abbot smiled and said, "It's good if you have this repentance." You lost the game that day, and it didn't take long for Zhu Yuanzhang to die, and after the emperor's grandson ascended the throne as the emperor, he sent the palace eunuchs to Shaolin. At that time, I also thought that I was going to be given death, but who knew that the eunuch was very polite to me, and even conveyed the holy decree that the Buddha sect would be restored, and the Taoist sect would not be allowed to cut off the livelihood of the Buddhist sect, and gave 10000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver. After reading the holy decree, the eunuch said to me that the emperor wanted to cut the feudal domain, knowing that my Buddhism had a close relationship with the king of Yan, and if the king of Yan rebelled, I asked my Buddhist sect not to live up to the emperor's love and learn from the king of Yan.

I said that Miaoyang's real guess was really good. It seems that the emperor's intention to kill King Yan is obvious.

The abbot said, indeed. King Yan is loyal and loves the people, and if he can be the emperor, it can be said that it is a blessing for all the people. If the martial arts league leader bidding competition is just Zhu Yuanzhang's pretense of establishing the banner of the prince, I really don't know why Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like King Yan.

I thought about it and said that it was precisely because of King Yan's loyalty that Zhu Yuanzhang should think that King Yan was not vicious enough. I am afraid that if he becomes the emperor, he will be easy to be emotional, but he will be victimized by traitors, and the Zhu family will not be protected from now on.

The abbot nodded, I'm afraid that's the only reason.

I knelt down again and said to my abbot, stay in Shaolin for a few days, and then I will set off for Beiping, one is to save the lord of Yong'an, and the other is to inquire about Nan Wujian. I've heard that the Northern Sword God once fought against a man who wielded a Southern Sword.

The abbot was curious, why haven't I heard of this?

So I told the king of the night what he said about the contest between the two. The abbot said, I see, it was the descendant of the Northern Sword God who said this. The Northern Sword God is rumored to be good at swordsmanship, if you go to investigate, you must be careful.

I nodded. The abbot couldn't help but say, this person can use his sword qi to hurt people invisibly. But if you compare with him, do not be in the direction of his sword. After a pause, he said, I was going to arrange for you to go to Beiping to help King Yan, but I didn't expect you to want to go too. The fate of King Yan and my Buddhism is closely linked, and the emperor's holy decree said that he wants to restore the Buddhism, but he just wants to stabilize my Buddhism. In the future, if King Yan is killed, your master will not talk about his life, and the entire Shaolin may also be uprooted.

I said that since the master arranged for me to help King Yan, of course I would do my best.

The abbot said, you will swear an oath.

I raised my finger to the sky, the Buddha is above, and Zhishan, a disciple of Shaolin, is willing to guarantee with his life, and he will definitely protect King Yan when he goes to Beiping. If King Yan is killed, the disciples are not willing to live.

Xiao Yunmei also knelt and said, and the disciples of the disciples who are not filial disciples do not want to live.

The abbot lifted me up and said, "That's good, that's good! This is my good apprentice! Although you made a mistake in the martial arts alliance competition, it's not too late to make amends. The so-called prodigal son turned back and did not change his money, he still returned to the shore after going down the bitter sea, hit the south wall and turned around, and only sweated when he saw the coffin......

I saw that the abbot was so happy that he was talking upside down, and I thought that the abbot had finally truly forgiven me, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed, so I said, I will never make any more mistakes, and I will not forget that I am a good man in the past......

Xiao Yunmei also said that it is not difficult to restrain the horse from the precipice, and the gold plate of washing hands cannot be broken.

After Xiao Yunmei finished speaking, the three of us looked at each other and laughed together.
