readx; The master and apprentice left Fengxian County and began to make a summary of their work. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tang Seng said to the walker on the horse, "Virtuous disciple, this good result is really better than the bhikshu country rescuing children, and it is all meritorious. ”

Sha Seng said, "The bhikshu kingdom has only saved 1,111 children, how can it be like this heavy rain, surging and soaking, and thousands of lives of the living! The disciple also secretly praised the senior brother's mana to the heavens, and the mercy to cover the earth. ”

Ah, Sha Seng suddenly came out, and he admired the senior brother with oral and takeaway.

Bajie said with a smile, "My brother also has kindness and kindness, but he is only benevolent and righteous on the outside, and evil on the inside." But if you go with the old pig, you have to be a trampleman. The walker said, "Where am I doing you?" Bajie said, "Yes, too! Always take care of me to tie up, take care of me hanging, take care of me cooking, take care of me steaming! Now that I have been blessed with thousands of people in Fengxian County, I should live for half a year, take me to eat a few free and full meals, but just urge me to walk!"

Through the mouth of the old pig, Mr. Wu made an evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang. thinks that Zhu Yuanzhang has a benevolent and righteous side, but also a harmful side, but in general, it is quite okay.

When the elder heard this, he shouted, "This idiot, why do you only think about slapping your mouth! Walk quickly, don't fight again!"

Bajie didn't dare to speak, pouted, picked up his bags, and played haha, and the masters and apprentices rushed to the road.

But the description of this paragraph always feels a little strange, but I don't understand what the author wants to express. Because the Zhang brothers were finally killed by Zhu Houxi, they have nothing to do with monkeys. It may be that for the sake of safety, it is only deliberately to confuse people, mainly officials.

Empress Zhang's father was named Zhang Luan, and he was named Shou Ningbo by Zhu Youzhu in the fourth year of Hongzhi. Later, Zhu Houxian was appointed as the crown prince, and Zhang Luan was named Marquis by Jin, and his official positions were Guanglu Doctor and Zhuguo. When he died in 1492, he was given the title of Duke of Changguo, and Zhang Luan's son Zhang Heling inherited the throne of Shouning. Later, Zhang Yanling was also promoted from Jianchang Bojin to Hou. Because Zhang Luan was born in a show, although he became rich and expensive later, he was okay to treat others, which is the saying of Ming History

But Zhang Heling and the Heling brothers were even more dishonest and did countless evils, but they were all saved by Queen Zhang. The history of the Ming Dynasty recorded, "On his day, the emperor traveled to the South Palace, and the Heling brothers served." Half of the wine, the queen, the crown prince and Mrs. Jin, the mother of the crane age, changed their clothes because of the tour. The emperor summoned the crane ling, left and right to hear, and saw the crane ling without a crown touching the ground, and it was a little trace. ”

This is to say that Zhu Youzhu often taught these two brothers a lesson in private, so the Zhang brothers were a little more restrained, but in fact, it was not like that at all.

Later, during Zhu Houxie's Zhengde years, Zhang Heling was named the Empress Dowager because of the relationship between Empress Dowager Zhang (after Zhu Youji's death, Empress Zhang naturally became the Empress Dowager). Later, Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi inherited the unification, and Zhang Heling was the hero, so he was crowned the Duke of Changguo at that time.

In the end, Zhu Houxi still didn't look down on the Zhang family (after all, the Empress Dowager Zhang was not his own mother, but his aunt), and he also wore small shoes to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and finally managed to kill the Zhang brothers, which was indeed a shining point of Emperor Jiajing.

Tang Seng reprimanded Bajie, which seemed ordinary and ordinary, but in fact, Lao Wu was making a big transfer in the plot. Why do you say that? Notice that Bajie is "carrying a bag" at this time.

The master and apprentice met an old man and told him that the front was Yuhua County, the lower county of Tianzhu Kingdom. The lord of the county is the clan of the Tianzhu Emperor and is named the King of Yuhua. This king is very virtuous, respects the monks and respects the people.

Tang Seng came to the city and saw the people here, buying and selling, gathering people, and the business was also very prosperous. Judging by its sound and appearance, it is no different from China.

It was originally written in the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Wu didn't care what the Tianzhu Kingdom was.

The bustling and prosperous area here is indeed the capital of China, and prices are stable and low. White rice is four dollars and one stone, and sesame oil is eight cents and one catty, which is really a bumper harvest of grains. This is to tell us that the price of goods during the stable period of the Ming Dynasty was about one tael of silver to buy 2.5 stone of rice, which was about 3 wen yuan for one catty of rice and 8 wen yuan for one catty of sesame oil.

The apprentices stayed in the hospitality hall, and Tang Seng went to change Guan Wen. The prince is really virtuous, after the official business is finished, the two chat, Tang Seng said that he used 14 years of time, and went to the west to learn scriptures.

The prince sent someone to invite Tang Seng's apprentices, but he thought it was a pig, a monkey spirit, and a stove king! Sun Xingzhi immediately taught Bajie to lead the horse, and the sand monk carried the burden and entered the Yuhua palace with the others.

Oh, Bajie is "leading the horse" again at this time. It turned out that Lao Wu's spearhead was to change to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty again, and he no longer told the story of Jiajing.

And the prince lifted up his eyes and saw such ugliness, but his heart was afraid. Sanzang clasped his hands and said, "Chitose rest assured, although the recalcitrant people are ugly, they are all good-hearted. Bajie sang upward, "The poor monk inquired." ”

Why did the old pig suddenly Sven?

When Tang Seng saw it, his nose was crooked, so he quickly explained to the prince, "The stubborns are all collected in the mountains and wilderness, and they can't salute, and they hope to forgive their sins." ”

The holy monk held back the anger in his heart, and when he came back, he complained about the old pig. "You rammer, you don't know the slightest bit of etiquette! If you don't open your mouth, you just don't speak, why are you so rude! In a word, you are enough to knock down Mount Tai!"

The monkey knew the reason and smiled, "It's better that I don't sing, and I can save some effort." ”

Sha Seng was not stupid, and even told the truth, "He sang and didn't wait for him, he shouted in advance." ”

Only Bajie said inexplicably, "Be naughty, be naughty!" Master taught me the day before yesterday that it is a courtesy to ask someone for an inquiry. When I inquired today, I couldn't tell me what to do!"

The old pig is very wronged, because Tang Seng taught himself a few days ago to answer the truth. But why was he reprimanded for finally behaving once?

Tang Seng's face was not red or blue, and he continued to give lessons, "I taught you to meet someone to make an inquiry, but I never taught you to see the prince so crooked! As the saying goes, there are several kinds of things, and there are several kinds of people, how can you not distinguish between high and low?"

On the surface, what Tang Seng said is very reasonable, you have to see who you are talking to. But do Buddhists also pay attention to three, six, nine, and so on? That is for sure, and Buddhas are actually human beings.

But he said that the prince withdrew from the palace and entered the palace, and there were three little princes in the palace, and when they saw his frightened face, they asked what was the matter?

When the little prince heard this, he became energetic and went to teach these ugly monks a lesson.

Good prince, the big one takes a plumbing stick, the second round is a nine-toothed palladium, and the third makes a black black stick.

Bajie just eats and ignores it. The sand monk and the practitioner owe the body, "We are all human beings, although the face is ugly but the heart is good, although the body is rammed but the nature is good." Where did you come from, but you are so frivolous?"

Bajie learned to be obedient, anyway, he can't speak, he must be wrong when he says it, the master scolds, the monkey is damaged, and the sand monk is stealing fun, so it is better to continue to eat by himself, and then talk about it when he is full. However, as soon as he heard what his brother said, the old pig suddenly became energetic, since he had a bird, then Tang Seng must not only blame himself for being rude, just in his heart was depressed, this punching bag came.

Tang Seng was afraid to explain at first, but the little prince said that he was "still like a person", so he stopped talking at this time, thinking in his heart. Hmph, you feel so good, dare to teach the holy monk a lesson. The temper of my three apprentices has to beat you up. Yes, you deserve to be beaten, just don't beat it too hard.

Sure enough, Bajie was full, and seeing that the master was drooping his face and not talking, he had to be angry and stepped forward to find trouble, anyway, Tang Seng meant to acquiesce to the action.

The old pig was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he threw away the bowl and said, "Your Royal Highness, how about each with a weapon?

Originally, the little prince wanted to do it, just waiting for the person in front of him to say something. So the second prince took a step, danced palladium with both hands, and wanted to play the eight precepts.

Bajie grinned and said, "Your palladium has to be my palladium grandson!" That is, he undressed his clothes and took out the palladium from his waist.

When the traveler saw that the big one made a stick with eyebrows, he jumped and jumped, that is, he took out the golden hoop stick from his ear, and the bowl came to the thickness of the bowl, and there were two or three lengths, and he pounded it on the ground, and smashed it three feet deep, and stood there, and said with a smile, "I'll give you this stick!" When the prince heard this, he threw away his stick, went to take the stick, and pulled it out with all his might, and did not want to move the slightest, and then took one end and shook it, as if it had taken root.

The third sprinkled recklessness, so that the black oil rod and stick to beat, was split by the sand monk with one hand, took out the demon scepter, and swiped it, glamorous and bright, one after another, bluffing the officials such as the meal, one by one stunned, unable to speak.

The three little princes bowed down together and said, "Divine Master, Divine Master!" I don't know mortals, I hope to show it, I will wait to pay homage." The walker approached, gently picked up the stick and said, "This place is narrow, it's not easy to spread your hands, wait for me to jump in the air, and you can see all the way." ”

The Great Sage, Bajie, and Sha Seng all performed martial arts in the air, which was amazing.

The little princes looked at it and knelt in the dust. The strange thing is that all the people in the city, etc., chant the Buddha and kowtow to every house, and worship with incense. Sure enough, it is - seeing the image and returning to the truth, the monks will be blessed and enjoy peace in the world. From now on, the fruit is on the Bodhi Road, and it is full of people who worship Buddha in Zen.

What is this talking about, is it a compliment to Wukong? Lao Wu must be explaining that at this time, he no longer likes Taoism, and has begun to turn to the more deadly Buddha.

So in this period, Lao Wu must be mapping the Longqing period. Because as soon as Longqing came to power, he overthrew Taoism and began to liquidate Shao Yuanjie Tao Zhongwen and them. So when the Taoist people saw that the wind direction had changed, they also advocated the unity of Taoism and Buddhism, such as Lu Xixing, and even the descendants of Shao Tao. This is Lao Wu's emotion, "From now on, the fruit is on the Bodhi Road, and all the people who worship the Buddha in Zen and worship the Buddha", and his emotions are quite complicated.

But the most intriguing thing is that "seeing the image and returning to the truth of the monks", "seeing the elephant" is easy to explain, and a few monkeys are jumping in the sky for a few miles; but where does "returning to the truth" begin? Inexplicably, although it has already reached the territory of Tianzhu, it is still hundreds of miles away from Lingshan, if it is not seen for a while, there must be a period of miles for the great cause of learning from the scriptures, what is the truth now?

It seems that this "true" meaning is not simple. The so-called true and false, false and real, Lao Wu's "truth" must have another big hidden meaning.

The three little princes hurriedly returned to the palace and told the old king that we were going to learn from the teacher. Learn from his methods and protect our country, this is a great achievement!

The characters that these three little princes seem to map are not simple, and now they should be the overall reflection of a prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Then it's too obvious, this prince is the later Emperor Wanli of Mingshenzong!

The father and son of the four, without posing or covering it, walked to the Storm Sha Pavilion to find a few Tang monks. It seems that this storm yarn pavilion also refers to something else.

The princes gave the monkey a few kneels, but Wukong sneered slightly. It seems that the monkeys know that these little ones are going to learn from their apprentices.

Lao Wang said what he meant, and without waiting for Tang Seng to speak, the walker couldn't help but laugh when he heard the words, "Your Highness, it's okay! I'm waiting for the monks, and I can't wait for a few apprentices." You Linglang has a good heart, and you must not talk about the slightest benefit, but only get along with love, which is enough for love. ”

There is a mystery in Wukong's words, he really wants to help the little prince. It is for the sake of kindness, don't talk about money, it is the **** of grace and righteousness, which is in stark contrast to Su Bodhi's "don't talk about kindness".

It can only be shown that Wukong has drawn a line with Buddhism in his heart, and the Monkey King is bent on being a Buddha outside the Buddha.

However, Lao Wu's meaning is by no means so simple, he hopes that the future Wanli Emperor can be a good emperor, learn from the good deeds of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen and others, and be able to lead the Ming Dynasty to glory!

Therefore, Wu Chengen's version of Journey to the West, it can be judged from now that this is not a novel of gods and demons, nor is it for satirical exposes anything, let alone advocating the so-called Taoist and Buddhist practice, but exhorting the emperor to practice the mind and uphold the original heart!

Lao Wu spared no pen and ink to describe the apprenticeship banquet emphatically, respecting the teacher and teaching.

The prince learns the arts, and the master's weapon is too heavy. Bajie smiled, "My palladium is not heavy, only a hidden number, five thousand and forty-eight catties with a handle." ”

Sha Seng also smiled, "It's also five thousand and forty-eight catties." ”

The golden hoop stick of the eldest prince seeker. The walker went to the ear and took out a needle, and under the guise of the wind, there was a bowl of thickness and straightened up in front of him. The father and son of the king were all terrified, and all the officials were frightened.

The description of the monkey's weapon is meaningful, because it is partly a metaphor for money. Zhu Yuanzhang is very concerned about money, but he cares about whether the ministers are greedy! If you take money that you shouldn't take, more than sixty taels of silver, you will be killed!

Of course, the later kings were terrified, and all the officials were frightened, loved and feared.

This stick is - Hongmeng's first judgment Tao molten iron, Dayu gods and people. The lakes, seas, rivers and rivers are shallow and deep, and this stick has been known. When the mountain was opened to control the water, it fell into the sea of Dongyang Town. Over the years, it can dissipate energy and be clean for a long time. Lao Sun has a share of the future, and there is no way to change. It should be big in the universe, but it should be small but like a needle. The name of the stick is Ruyi, the golden hoop, which is a must in heaven and earth. It weighs 13,500 catties, and it can be coarse or fine. He also helped me make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and also attacked the earth with me. The tiger descends the dragon everywhere, refining the demon and the monster Fang Che. Raising his head and pointing to the sun, the heavens, the earth, ghosts and gods are all timid. The Chaos Immortal has been passed down to the present, and it turns out that it is not mortal iron.

Take a closer look at the description of this golden hoop rod and you will understand. This is Zhu Yuanzhang's effective weapon - the money stick. There are many meanings, it is money, it is a double-edged sword, it is a wishful treasure, and it is a universal device.

Wukong smiled, "It's easy to teach, but you don't have the strength to use our weapons, I'm afraid that you won't be able to learn well, and you can't become an anti-dog." The ancients said that if the lesson is not strict, the teacher is lazy, and the sin of learning is not successful. If you are sincere, you can go and burn incense to worship heaven and earth, and I will pass on some divine power to you first, and then you can teach martial arts. ”

Looking at the monkey's words now, I can understand Lao Wu's good intentions, hoping that Emperor Wanli can really learn the shining points of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Zhanji and integrate them together.

The three little princes were full of joy, even if they carried the incense case in person, washed their hands and burned incense, and worshipped to the sky.

The walker turned around and saluted Tang Seng and said, "Tell the master and forgive the disciple's sins." Since that year, he rescued his disciples in the Two Realms Mountain, taught Shamen, and has always come to the west, although he has never repaid his master's kindness, but he has also crossed the water and climbed the mountain, and has done his best. Now in the hometown of Buddhism, I am fortunate to meet the three sons of King Xian, worship us, and want to learn martial arts. He is our apprentice, that is, the disciple of my master. I have taught my teacher well. ”

When Wukong said this, of course, he asked the master. However, Lao Wu's intention is even more undoubted, which is to hope that Emperor Wanli can continue the Confucian spirit of Zhu Yunwen and absorb the essence of two or three previous emperors.

Sanzang was very happy. Bajie and Sha Seng saw the walker saluting, and they also turned around and kowtowed to Sanzang and said, "Master, I am stupid, clumsy, blunt, and can't speak. Sanzang happily agreed. host

Lao Wu sincerely hoped that Emperor Wanli could be reborn under Zhang Juzheng's teaching. So Wukong taught the three princes, blew the immortal qi into the hearts of the three of them, collected the original gods into the main house, passed on the formula, and each gave thousands of strengths, adding fire, but it was like a method of rebirth.

Lao Wu's words are very interesting, it was originally a kind of "rebirth", why do you still say "but it's like a", because Old Man Wu has no better words, so he can only sour criticism and learn from this Taoist Buddha's favorite words.

The princes demanded that a simple replica of their own be made in the shape of the Master's weapon. With the blacksmith summoned, the comprador made 10,000 catties of steel, and set up a factory in the front yard of the palace and cast a furnace.

The iron and steel smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty was very high, and it was the absolute leading level in the world at that time. Journey to the West is also reflected, "The steel will be smelted one day first". However, it is a pity that in the Qing Dynasty, due to various considerations, it stifled the spread and development of many high-tech knowledge at that time, and instead of advancing, it regressed in great strides.

This weapon was their treasure, and they could not leave it for a moment. Now put in the factory yard for a few days, the glow has thousands of ways to the sky, and the rui qi has a thousand ways to cover the ground. Only seventy miles away from the city, there is a goblin in the Hukou Cave of Leopard Head Mountain, and he saw it.

The goblin was happy and loved, and said, "Good baby, good baby! What kind of people use this, and I put it here now? It is also my fate, take it! Take it!" He moved with love, made a majestic style, took the three kinds of weapons, and turned them to the cave.

Youkai also love money, and they don't want to die. The Taoist Buddha also wants things, and the monarchs and ministers covet it.

Emperor Longqing, who is now the old prince implied by Ming Muzong, is very concerned about money.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" praised that Ming Muzong Zhu Zaiyuan reigned for less than six years, prudent and cautious, diligent and thrifty. It was agreed that Mongolia would open trade with each other, implement a policy of low taxation, and ensure the stability of the country's borders. He was also a virtuous monarch, but from him onwards, the cabinet and courtiers became intriguing with each other. Therefore, Emperor Longqing is a generous and benevolent king, but he is not a resolute master!

The evaluation of the Ming history is more pertinent, but Emperor Longqing is frugal on the surface and prays for pleasure on the inside. Otherwise, how could the ministers below be even more crazy and the number of domestic refugees continued to increase? I am afraid that Emperor Longqing is a good man, and he is embarrassed to be ruthless to his ministers.

Emperor Longqing was the third son of Jiajing, but the first two sons died early, and he became the eldest. However, his younger brother King Jing Zhu Zaizhen is only one month younger than him. Therefore, his position as the prince was full of twists and turns, and in the end, his younger brother died in the first year of his father, and he had no choice but to be succeeded by Longqing.

In the first year of Longqing, the Ming Hall of Rui Zong was deserved. This is a bit remarkable, and the kindness of his father Emperor Jiajing has been stopped, but it has also been supported by the ministers of the Great Etiquette. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and he entered the cabinet in advance, and three months later, he was appointed as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

In September of that year, I first attacked Datong again, and then attacked Shizhou, killed Wang Liangcai of Zhizhou, and looted Jiaocheng and Wenshui. Marched into Jizhen, plundered Changli, Lulong, and Luanhe. Hit near Beijing again, this time it can make Longqing anxious, and quickly proclaim the edict of King Qin, and finally I promised to loot enough before withdrawing the army.

At the same time, the Ministry of Household Shangshu Ma Sen said that the Taicang Treasury only recorded more than 2,014,100 taels this year, and it was necessary to distribute more than 1,350,000 taels of grain and grass and more than 2,360,000 taels of border salaries.

This is caused by Emperor Jiajing, and I can't complain about Longqing. So Longqing had no choice but to find a way to get money around. Lao Wu is the Longqing Emperor who mirrors the Jade Emperor, seeking wealth through various means.

Strictly speaking, during the Jiajing period, especially when and before Yan Song was in power, the country had never been so poor. On the contrary, Xu Jie's government is in charge, and the country's economy is in chaos everywhere. In the early days of Jiajing, a whip law had been implemented in many places in the Ming Dynasty (this was not Zhang Juzheng's initiative), but in the process of implementation, especially after the dictatorship of Xu Jie, problems arose, and it had to be abolished by Longqing.

Xu Jie's people copied the family property of Yan Song's father and son, it is said that there are millions of taels of silver, but there are only 100,000 taels in the warehouse, either Yan Song does not have so much money at all, or Xu Jie and others divide it. But how could Xu Jie have such great courage? No matter how he said it, he wouldn't dare to be greedy for 2 million taels of silver at one time.

Interestingly, Xu Jie's house was also raided later, and his property was much more than that of Yan Song's father and son. Part of the flow of this money magically went to the royal treasury.

Xu Jie had three sons, two of whom were punished for committing crimes, and finally sent to a distant land, which was very happy, because his son and the house slave tossed his father and fellow villagers miserably. As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, Yan Song's father and son did a good job, and the Xu family is a rabbit who grabs the grass around.

Regarding Xu Jie, let's talk more about it, in order to overthrow Yan Song, he first pretended to be dependent, and even married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson, which eliminated Yan Song's vigilance. Soon Yan Song fell, and his granddaughter finally returned to her parents' home, but she was given "righteous annihilation" by Xu Jie, and she was personally killed by poisonous wine, and she was only 15 years old when she died. It seems that Xu Jie is a character like Su Bodhi, don't talk about any kindness and righteousness, and there is no family affection, only the so-called good and evil.

In the second year, the crown prince Yijun was appointed as the crown prince and pardoned the world. In July of that year, Xu Jie's retirement, and many ministers asked to keep him, but Emperor Longqing stubbornly refused to agree.

Longqing continued to fight with Alta in the third and fourth years, but there were victories and defeats. Finally, in November, he was crowned as the king, and he designed to capture the Ming Dynasty rebel Zhao Quan and nine other people to offer, so Longqing will send Hannaji back to the Northern Desert, and the Tatar frontier has been basically peaceful since then.

As soon as the frontier was calm, Emperor Longqing was about to enjoy peace and well-being. At this time, the treasury was empty, and the emperor still ordered the household department to take over the cat's eye, emerald and other rare treasures. Hu Kedu has written to Li many times in the matter, saying that now the country is so poor, and the food and salary of the frontier soldiers cannot be paid in full, so don't do it, the emperor's favored eunuch Cui Min and others have given you bad ideas, and they should be severely punished.

When this recital went up, Emperor Longqing was furious and ordered someone to beat Li Zheng with a hundred court rods and send them to the Criminal Department for punishment.

Let's talk about the next son, the matter of Emperor Longqing's ** nationality. "Emperor Ming Zizhi Tongji" is also called "Emperor Ming Tongji", is a book called Chen Jianzhi editor, about 1525 years old, talking about the history of Hongwu to Zhengde, is a Ming Dynasty folk compilation of a huge influence of the work, the social tone is very good. However, in 1571, it was reported that it was a distortion of historical facts. So Emperor Longqing ordered the destruction of the original version of the book, and notified the History Museum not to accept the book in the future.

In the same year, Li Chunfang officially retired, perhaps this incident had a great impact on the completion of Journey to the West. Therefore, the old man Wu used the so-called gods and demons novels to write part of the history from Hongwu to Longqing, and the old man Li Chunfang must have provided him with a lot of secret information and put forward a lot of suggestions, making Wu Chengen's version of the Journey to the West extremely obscure, otherwise it is really possible to be banned.

Then Emperor Longqing can be regarded as good, the biggest political achievement is to switch the mutual market, develop the domestic economy, and give Emperor Wanli a good start, but he has a thin life, and he died in less than six years of reign, but he enjoys not a lot of miles. In just a few years, Xu Jie, Guo Pu, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others have been fighting back and forth, which is very lively.

It is that - the Tao does not need to be separated, but it is not the way. The divine soldiers were all in vain, and the cultivators were wasted. After all, I don't know how to find this weapon and come back, please listen to the nonsense next time. xh:.74.240.212
