readx; The last book mainly talked about the political achievements of Ming Xiaozong, and now let's also take a look at its shortcomings. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Why did Lao Wu arrange for Sun Wukong to shave the heads of the king's ministers, and why did he give the country the name "Chin France"?

It turned out that although Ming Xiaozong laid off many Buddhist and Taoist personnel, it was a merit. However, in 1496, Peng Cheng and others gave Zhu Youzhi in the Nanjing Like Affair, "The old system of monks and Taoists had a quota, the government was only forty people, the state was only thirty people, the county was only twenty people, and the world was only more than 36,000 people." In the second year of Chenghua (1466), more than 132,200 people were given to the degree side, more than 13,300 people in the 12th year of Chenghua, and more than 24,500 people in the 22nd year of Chenghua. Nowadays, there are disasters in all directions, and there is a famine, if you don't want to make an appointment, I am afraid that the harm will not be small. Begging to check the old amount, will be stopped once every ten years, the patrol and other officials in the temple to check the existing monks and Taoists, those who have been passed do not have to be pursued, those who have not been allowed to survive, the order is also vulgar, and the lower amount is missing, before it is allowed to be sent to the degree of examination and selection. Violators will still be sent according to the military regulations of the previous year. ”

In other words, in the ninth year of Hongzhi, the number of official monks in the Ming Dynasty had exceeded 360,000, and in 1496 there were more than 32,200 monks waiting to be turned into regulars. Therefore, some ministers suggested that this year they should not be converted to monks, and let those quasi-monks return to the world, otherwise there will be 400,000 official monks in the world. Then the origin of this "extermination of France" and "Chin France" is self-evident. 10,000 monks is only one-thirty-sixth of the total number of official monks during the Ming Xiaozong period, not including 30,000 quasi-monks and an indefinite number of semi-false monks.

Ming Xiaozong saw it and instructed the relevant departments to deal with it, but then it was over, what should I do. The degree in the hand of this monk is very valuable, good guy, these more than 30,000 degrees are a large stack of waste paper? No, it is at least 500,000 snowflakes of silver, and the annual mining income of the Ming Dynasty is only about 500,000.

Let's talk about Zhu Youji's wife, Empress Zhang acted more secretively, and Ming Shi was embarrassed to blame her openly. After all, the Zhang family later became the queen mother, and together with Yang Tinghe, they eradicated Jiang Bin and others.

But her two brothers, who are bullying, have a very good relationship with Zhu Youji. At a party, Zhu Youzhu went to the toilet, and these two guys played with a crown on their heads. was denounced by a eunuch named He Wending, but the Zhang brothers did not fall down, He Wending himself was imprisoned, and finally died in the hands of the eunuch Li Guang, whom Zhu Youzhu trusted (of course, later, the Zhang brothers were killed by Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi).

Perhaps Zhu Youzhu should also have a considerable responsibility for this, otherwise how could He Wending be punished and how could he have died a tragic death? Moreover, He Wending was not an ordinary eunuch, but had made some military exploits. Then this matter, as well as the indulgence of the Zhang brothers, is a stain on Ming Xiaozong.

Zhu Youzhi was too fond of the only one seedling Ming Wuzong Zhu Houxie (the other two younger siblings died early), knowing that Zhu Houxian was smart and playful, he prepared a large number of tributes and beasts for him, and also equipped him with many first-class eunuchs from Liu Jin.

Let's go on and talk as we go.

But it was said that the elder had said goodbye to King Chinfa and had come to a high mountain. Tang Seng Le Ma said, "Apprentices, you see the mountain in front of you, you must be careful! The mountain peak is erect, there is some fierce aura in the distance, the storm clouds fly out, and I gradually feel frightened, numb, and uneasy. The walker smiled, "You gave the four verses of Wuchao Zen Master's praise, but you forgot it." The Buddha is not far away in the spiritual mountain, and the spiritual mountain is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Tower, so they can repair to the Lingshan Tower. ”

Sanzang said, "Apprentice, don't I know? If you follow these four sentences, there are thousands of scriptures, and you are only cultivating the mind. "Walker said," needless to say. The heart is pure and lonely, and the heart is clear. Mistakes become laziness and lack success for thousands of years. But to be sincere, Lei Yin is only following. Like you, you are so frightened and frightened, your mind is restless, the road is far away, and the thunder is far away. Don't be suspicious, follow me. When the elder heard this, his heart was refreshed, and all his worries rested.

When did the "Duoxin Sutra" have these four verses? Or is Lao Wu making it bad, and on the surface he respects Buddhism, but in fact he has already changed the decoction.

The masters and apprentices suddenly heard a gust of wind whirring, not a natural wind. Wukong went to take a look, and it turned out that it was a goblin who led thirty or forty little demons to arrange them, and he was there to spray wind and love mist.

Wukong didn't plan to do it secretly, so he went back to pick up the old pig to clean up the monster. The monkey lied, saying that it was not the demon wind, but the smoke rising from the cooking of the people in a mountain village.

The nerd had the knowledge to eat his mouth, so he stepped forward and sang a big song, "Master, Senior Brother Shicai said that there were monks in the village before. You see, some of these horses want to disturb people, so they need grass and fodder, but they don't bother? Fortunately, now that the wind and fog are clear, you can sit down and wait for me to find some tender grass, feed the horses first, and then go to that house to fast. ”

Tang Seng said happily, "Okay, how can you be so diligent today? The idiot smiled and walked away. The walker caught up and said, "Brother, he is a monk there, only the handsome, not the ugly." "The Eight Precepts," said this, and it is necessary to change. "Exactly." You change your mind. "What a nerd, he also has thirty-six changes, walking into the mountain recess, twisting the trick, reciting the incantation, transforming into a short and thin monk. Knocking a wooden fish in his hand, humming in his mouth, and not reciting scriptures, only humming is the lord.

Bajie has been following Tang Seng for more than ten years, and he still can't recite the scriptures. Don't talk about the old pig, I'm afraid Monk Sha won't read it. The monkey can recite the scriptures, but he just doesn't.

But what we have to pay attention to is that the monkey let Bajie change his appearance and then go, Lao Wu described it in great detail, there must be something strange here.

The monster gathered the wind and fog, ordered the demons, and set up a circle formation at the intersection of the road, waiting for the travelers. This nerd was unlucky, and after a while, he bumped into the middle and was surrounded by a group of demons, this one pulled his clothes, and that one pulled the silk, pushing and hugging, and they all started together. Bajie said, "Don't talk about it, wait for my family to eat in the future." The demons said, "Monk, what do you want to eat?" Bajie said, "You monks here are fasting, and I will eat fasting." The demons said, "You want to be a monk here, but I don't know that I want to eat monks here." We are all enlightened demon immortals in the mountains, and we want to take you monks to our homes, and steam them in a steamer to eat them. You still want to come to fast!"

Lao Wu's pen is very powerful, what kind of monster is this, it is clearly a reflection of the Ming Dynasty that has a character who occupies the mountain as the king.

When Bajie heard this, he was scared in his heart, so he complained to the practitioner and said, "This Bi Ma Wen is actually lazy! He coaxed me to say that he was a monk in this village, and a monk in the village here, and a monk there, but it turned out to be this goblin!"

When I first watched it, I didn't pay much attention to this detail, but later I realized that Lao Wu was referring to something else.

Only then did the nerd know that it was the monkey who had deceived him, so he fought with the monster. As soon as the little demons saw it, they went to report to the big goblin, saying that Zhu Bajie's appearance was ugly, where did he become a person! A pair of round eyes are like electricity, and the wind is squeezing in both ears. The back of the head is long and lined with iron arrows, and the skin is rough and green. There are strange things in his hands, and the nine-toothed nails and palladium are all shocked.

The goblin shouted boldly, "Where are you from, what is your name?

Lao Wu is bad enough, talented enough, and the goblins of Bajie are all afraid.

Bajie saw that the monster was holding an iron pestle in his hand, and said, "Evil beast! You turned out to be a doctor of dye! Not a doctor of dye, how can you make a mallet?"

We must know that the iron pestle first evolved from the vajra of Buddhism. Lao Wu, what does this love secretly refer to?

said that the walker was behind Tang Seng, and suddenly sneered. Sha Seng said, "Brother sneered, why not?" the walker said, "Zhu Bajie is really stupid! When I heard that the monk was fasting, I coaxed him away." Sooner or later, he will not come back. If you fight off the goblin with palladium, you see him return victorious, and fight for the results; if you fight him, he will take it, but it will be my bad luck, and I don't know how many times I have scolded him! "Good sage, he didn't let the elders know, quietly plucked a hair on the back of his head, blew on the fairy breath, and shouted, "Change!" That is, change into his own appearance, accompany the sand monk, and follow the elder. His real body was a god, jumping in the air to watch, but he saw that the nerd was surrounded by monsters, nailed palladium and chaos, and gradually became invincible.

The description of this paragraph is of course talking about the monkey's intention to make Bajie ugly, but Lao Wu's intentions are very deep, and by the way, he also explained that the monkey's doppelganger change technique is very powerful. We should still remember the story of the true and false Monkey King, which just proves that Sun Wukong changed his appearance with his hair and went to the South China Sea to find Guanyin, but he himself stayed near Tang Seng and prepared to act according to the plan.

Then there is why Wukong wants to see that Bajie is not pleasing to the eye now, and he needs to teach a lesson. It was the monkey who thought the old pig was too lazy some time ago, which can be analyzed from Tang Seng's previous words. Notice that Tang Seng said happily, "Okay! How can you be so diligent today? Go and come quickly." "Because the old pig was lazy some time ago, and now he takes the initiative to ask for help, so Tang Seng is overjoyed, and the sun is coming out of the west.

However, is Lao Wu's meaning so simple? No, let's look down slowly.

Wukong's own message to Bajie was cheering, and the old pig was so brave that he drove the monster away. When the walker saw that the goblin was defeated, he went back to his place, shook his hair, and put it away. The mortal eye of the elder is recognized there.

This further verifies our speculation at the time of the real and false Monkey King. Many people say that Journey to the West is very messy, full of contradictions, and unclear, but in fact, we didn't read it seriously. Lao Wu Dong has a mallet and a hammer in the west, but if you look carefully, most of them can be seen from the scattered places. The old man's writing technique is not to pretend to be profound, but to try to be obscure, otherwise this biography of Journey to the West will not be able to be presented in front of the world.

After a while, the nerd came back victoriously and complained to the master angrily, and Wukong began to deny it. But as soon as Tang Seng saw Bajie's angry appearance, he knew that it must be right. In addition, remembering that the monkey had beaten himself in the past, he pretended to ask Wukong lightly. Of course, the monkey also saw what the master meant, so he had to admit it generously.

Tang Seng looked at it and was very satisfied, the monkey still knew that he respected the teacher, so he didn't scold Wukong again.

Just said that the monster went back, and he wondered how to eat Tang monk's meat. Suddenly, a little demon flashed in the class, choked and cried three times to the old demon, and laughed three times, it turned out that this was the remnant of Lion Camel Ridge, and he introduced the monster to the strength of several apprentices of Tang Seng. But another little demon stepped forward and said, I have a split plum blossom plan to try to transfer away his three brothers, but the king stretched out his cloud hand in mid-air to catch this Tang monk, just like probing for things, like twisting flies in a fish basin, what is the difficulty!

The monsters acted according to the plan, and sure enough, Wukong and they were fooled, and Tang Seng was arrested. Judging from the book, there are a lot of little monsters who don't look like they have names and surnames, but they are scurrying around, mixing in this goblin's territory for a while, and running to another goblin's place for a while. can always come up with ideas, and usually can catch Tang Seng. The most typical is the mandarin fish essence in the Tongtian River, although it was later extinguished by Guanyin, but it illustrates a hidden message, that is, the Taoist and Buddhist families sent a lot of demons to go undercover everywhere or something, just like the Dongchang spies of the Ming Dynasty.

When the old demon came back, he really said what he said, and made the little demon who came out of the split-petal plum blossom plan a pioneer. I wanted to eat Tang Seng immediately, but the pioneer stopped Wanyan unexpectedly and waited for a few days to eat.

The old monsters are generally fools, so they believed it, so they tied Tang Seng to the tree first.

Tang Seng cried, and there was a woodcutter tied to the opposite side, and the two of them chattered. What do you say? Compare yourself to see who is more miserable.

Tang Seng said with tears in his eyes, "Woodcutter, you died just a body, and there was nothing to worry about, but I didn't die cleanly." Qiao Zi said, "Elder, you are a monk, you have no parents, no wife, you will die when you die, what is not clean?" The elder said, "I was originally ordered by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to go to get the true scriptures, and I want to surpass the lonely soul of the dark and ownerless. If you lose your life now, can you not hope to kill that king and leave that courtier alone? In the city of death, infinite unjust souls, but not disappointed, never be able to live forever, a meritorious fruit, turned into wind dust, how can this be clean?" Hearing this, Qiao Zi said with tears in his eyes, "Elder, you die only like this, and my death is even more sad. I lost my father when I was a child, lived in widowhood with my mother, and had no family, so I only relied on collecting firewood for a living. My mother is 83 years old this year, and I am the only one who supports her. If he dies, who will bury his body with him and send him to the old age? Bitterly, bitterly! Kill me!" When the elder heard this, he cried loudly, "Poor, pitiful! The mountain people still have the desire to think about their families, and the poor monks of the empty sect will recite the scriptures! You are a kindness, I am a gentleman. "It is the tearful eyes that see the tears in the eyes, and the broken intestines send the broken intestines!

This is explained, Li Shimin let Tang Seng learn the scriptures in order to seek his own peace of mind. But we already know that the historical Tang Taizong developed Buddhism with his own intentions.

Also, through Tang Seng's last few words, he was saying openly and secretly that it was useless for monks to chant scriptures. And it also corresponds to the words of Fu Yi, the pioneer of the Tang Dynasty, the law of the Western Regions, there is no father and son.

Wukong knew that he had been tricked, so he went to look for the monster and came to the Hidden Fog Mountain Zheyue Chain Cave. Bajie went up to dig the mountain gate, and after the monster knew, he gave an idea from the vanguard.

Make a willow root cut to make a human head, spray some human blood, confused, a little monster, go out to deceive people.

Bajie cried when he was fooled, and the monkey felt that something was wrong, so he saw through it, it was a wooden lump, and there was a sound when it fell to the ground.

As a result, the monster really found a human head and threw it out again. Wukong recognized it as a real human head, and cried helplessly. Bajie and Sha Seng also cried loudly together.

This time Wukong wants to take revenge, so he goes to the monster to prepare for a fight. As soon as the old monster saw that he couldn't do it, he came out with an iron pestle and shouted, "Monk Napo, don't you recognize me? I am the king of Nanshan, and I have been debauched here for hundreds of years." You Tang Seng has already eaten it from me, how dare you?" The walker scolded, "This bold Mao Tuan! How old can you be to call the word Nanshan? Li Laojun is the ancestor of the world, and he still sits on the right side of the Taiqing Dynasty; Buddha Rulai is the ruler of the world and still sits under the Dapeng; and the Confucian sage is the leader of Confucianism, and he is only called the master. You evil animal, dare to call yourself the king of Nanshan, hundreds of years of debauchery! Don't leave! Eat your grandfather's stick!"

The monster claims to be the king of Nanshan, and there must be a saying. In Wukong's words, although Taishang Laojun and Rulai were touted, they always felt that they were not serious. It is Lao Wu who is burying Buddhism and Taoism, reflecting that most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty believe in Buddhism and Taoism, but they don't value Confucianism.

This practitioner and the eight precepts killed the Quartet. Pity those goblins who don't know how to be handsome, holding palladium, nine holes of blood, holding sticks, flesh and bones like mud! bluffing the king of Nanshan into the wind and mist, and he has to flee back with his life. The vanguard could not change, and was already knocked down by the walker with a stick, revealing his true appearance, but an iron-backed blue wolf monster. Bajie stepped forward and pulled his feet, turned over and said, "This guy doesn't know how many pig teeth and lambs he stole from others since he was a child!"

It is estimated that this wolf spirit also has a point, but I'm afraid he is also a small person, and the analysis is not interesting.

Wukong Bajie returned victoriously, and saw that the sand monk was still crying. Bajie became more and more sad, lost his palladium, lay down on the grave, and cried with his hands on the soil, "O bitter master!

Sha Seng is in a very sad mood now, and his thoughts are half. One is to miss Tang Seng, but to sigh about the future. Although Bajie always clamored to break up, at this time, the old pig's feelings for Tang Seng were deep and Japanese, and his true feelings were naturally revealed.

Wukong still went to ask the goblin for revenge, and Bajie said with tears, "Brother, be careful! Mo Lian you have also fished it out, we can't cry too much, cry Master, cry Senior Brother, we will cry messily." ”

We look at Bajie at this time as if he has changed people, and he has never been affectionate. In fact, Lao Wu described it like this, the truth of freedom for his old man.

Good Great Sage, arrived at the back door of the Fairy Cave Mansion. I thought to myself, "Needless to say, that's the back door." Wait until I turn into a water snake. Stop! The Yin Ling'er who changed into a water snake and feared the master knew it, and blamed me for turning into a snake for a long time. It's not good to turn into a little crab and go over, I'm afraid that Master will blame me for having too many monks. He turned into a water rat and slammed it in.

"The monks become snakes and have many feet", Lao Wu is an ordinary loss.

Wukong began to think that the monster had slaughtered Tang Seng and dried dried meat to prevent the sky from being cloudy. But I knew from the mouth of the little demon that Tang Seng was not dead, so I was overjoyed.

The monsters have come up with ideas about how to eat monks.

Some said, take Tang Seng out, chop it in pieces, fry some big ingredients, and eat it fragrantly, and you will have to live a long life.

Another little demon clapped his hands and said, "Don't say, don't say! It's still steamed and delicious!"

Another said, "Cook and eat, and save firewood." ”

Another said, "He was a strange thing, and he had some salt to pickle and eat for a long time." ”

Even if you have served Lao Wu, will the people of the Buddhist family be angry when they see this?

Of course, it annoyed the monkeys, and turned into a bunch of sleepy insects with their hairs, and threw them in the faces of the demons. One by one, they got into their noses, and the little demons gradually fell asleep. Only the old demon couldn't sleep steadily, and Wukong gave it a double portion, so he put the monster to sleep.

Wukong found Tang Seng, and the elder said, "Apprentice, come and untie the rope, tie me up." The walker said, "Master, don't be busy, wait for me to kill the goblins, and then come to relieve you." He hurriedly pulled out and ran to the middle hall. He was raising his stick to beat, but he stopped his hand and said, "It's not good! When he returned to the garden, he pondered again, "Wait for the rescue to come." "Two or three times, they danced and danced into the garden. When the elder saw this, he rejoiced in sorrow and said, "Monkey, I think it is because I have never been injured, so I am so happy that it is useless, so I dance like this?"

Eh, what is Wukong doing, what is Tang Seng thinking? Regardless of what the hell is going on, it is very amusing anyway.

In the end, the monkey rescued the master and a woodcutter. The three of them came out of the cave, and the elder thanked him, "Virtuous man, you saved his life and mine! Where are Wu Neng and Wu Jing?" Call him. Elder Guo shouted loudly, "Eight precepts, eight precepts!"

Pay attention to Tang Seng's behavior, and at first he asked Wu Neng, and then he shouted the eight precepts. My heart is very angry, I haven't died yet, why are you crying?

Tang Seng has always loved the old pig, and he is the most disdainful of Sha Seng, no wonder the feeling of meeting for the first time is very important.

The idiot and the sand monk came to see the master, and the old pig suddenly became normal, so he couldn't help but lift the palladium and knock down the grave, dig out the human head, and build it to pieces. Tang Seng said, "Why did you build him?" Bajie said, "Master, I don't know that he is the dead of that family, teach me to cry to him!" The elder said, "He saved my life." Your brothers knock at his door and shout at me, thinking that they will use him to prevaricate, or else they will kill me. And bury him, to see the meaning of our monks. The idiot listened to the elder's words, and buried him again.

Wukong and Bajie burned the little demons to death, just when the old demon woke up, Bajie stepped forward with a palladium, built the old monster to death, and showed his true appearance, which turned out to be a wormwood flower skin leopard essence. The walker said, "The flower skin will eat the tiger, and now it will become a human again." This beating to death will prevent future troubles!"

The woodcutter wanted Tang Seng to come to his house to express his gratitude. Tang Seng was very happy, he could still eat a full meal when he was thanked, and a fool would not do anything, not to mention letting the monsters starve themselves several times.

The woodcutter saw an old woman, leaning on the firewood, with tears in her eyes, crying bitterly. When the woodcutter saw that it was his mother, he lost the elder, and hurriedly ran to the firewood, knelt down and shouted, "Mother, the son is here!"

This is the true love of the world that Lao Wu really wants, if everyone has an impression, then the woodcutter in the first chapter of the book is such an ordinary character. Is it a coincidence? No, it was specially arranged by Lao Wu, and the family affection is greater than that of the Taoist Buddha.

The woodcutter's family is not rich, and Bajie said, "Brother Qiao, I see that your house is also poor, so you can only have one meal, don't bother to be at the mercy of it." "Qiaozi said," I don't tell the old man. My mountain is really cold, there are no mushrooms, mushrooms, Sichuan peppers, and ingredients, just a few wild vegetables dedicated to the lord, and the right to be inches. Bajie smiled, "Noise, noise." Hurry up. We're hungry. ”

Sure enough, after a while, several wild vegetables were eaten sweetly.

After eating and going on the road, Qiaozi also showed the direction, "Don't worry, master." This big road, less than a thousand miles to the west, is the country of Tianzhu, the land of bliss. ”

Notice that the woodcutter's mouth says "sir". However, Tang Seng is obviously a monk.

It can be seen that in the heart of the woodcutter, a well-wisher is more worthy of respect than anything else.

So what does this Nanshan King mean and what is the implication?

Yes, in 1495, that is, in the eighth year of the Hongzhi reign of Zhu Youji, the southwest of Shanxi Mountain rebelled, but it was soon pacified. It didn't mean anything, but the leader of the rebellion was a monk. Nanshan refers to the end of Nanshan.

But judging from the book, the king of Nanshan is not limited to this, it also alludes to the Ming Dynasty during the filial piety period, some ethnic minorities in the south rose up, and these leaders gave themselves titles, called what the king of heaven, and later were pacified by the imperial court.

In addition, this Nanshan King is a wormwood leopard spirit, and the monkey also said that it eats tigers and eats people. Because there is indeed a zoo near the Qianqing Gate of Ming Xiaozong, there is the only leopard, which is the prototype of this king. What we call the leopard house is actually this zoo, named after the lone leopard in it.

In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Ming Xiaozong died young at the age of 36 (according to some historical records, Zhu Youzhu was sick, and a royal doctor surnamed Gao gave the wrong medicine, and died in a daze).

In general, Zhu Youzhu is strict and favoritist internally, and conservative but resolute externally. can be regarded as a promising emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and Old Man Wu is also quite recognized.

Tang Seng and several people continued to go to the west to learn scriptures, it is precisely to reduce the blame to solve the grievances and leave the suffering, and to be blessed on the road with heart. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next nonsense.
