The sixty-first chapter of the spring fang mercy arch is showing the original of seclusion
readx; First of all, it seems to be a digression, that is, when the entire Journey to the West was written here, Caesar thought that there was a huge doubt, and there were many speculations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I suspect that at least the ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh chapters of Journey to the West are basically not Wu Chengen's original works, but someone rewrote them, and this person is Li Chunfang, the first assistant in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty. And there is reason to believe that elsewhere in the book, there are occasionally traces of deletions.
Judging from these two books, the writing style has changed too much, the writing is relatively stiff, mainly narrative, and the language is not vivid enough, which is quite unlike the characteristics of Lao Wu. Although Li Chunfang tried his best to imitate Wu Chengen's writing, if you look closely, it is indeed very different.
Let's discuss it later, let's watch Journey to the West first. Leaving the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom, half a month later, I arrived at a town. On the long street, I saw two old men sitting under the corridor talking, saying what about the rise and fall of gains and losses, who is a saint and who is virtuous, the heroic cause at that time, and now it is safe, it can be described as a big sigh.
The old man and the two of them had something to say, but what did they feel, they suspected that they were indeed sighing about a rather controversial figure in the Ming Dynasty, but it is difficult to judge who it is now.
From the old man's mouth, I learned that this is Tongtai Mansion, and there is a county called Diling County behind the house. Not far away, there is a foreign family who likes to be a monk. But these two old men obviously have a good opinion of this good man, but they are not very interested in the monks, so they will send Tang Seng away quickly with a few perfunctory words.
Tang Seng saw a tiger sitting in the gatehouse, and there was a big sign hanging on the shadow wall inside the door, with the words "Ten thousand monks do not stop". After entering, I found that this family was very wealthy, and there were special Buddhist halls, scripture halls, and dining halls for entertaining monks. Among them, the Buddha hall is to worship the Buddha, the reception is in the scripture hall, and the meal is in the dining hall, which is very exquisite.
The outsider led the master and apprentice into the door, and said with a smile, "The disciple's name is Kou Hong, the character is big and wide, and he is sixty-four years old. Since the age of forty, Xu Zhai ten thousand monks have done perfection. Now I have been fasting for twenty-four years, and I have a book of accounts of the monks. There has been nothing to do for several days, and the names of the monks who have fasted are counted, and there are 9,996 members who have fasted, and there are only four people, and they cannot be satisfied. Today's four teachers of Cocoa from the sky, the number of ten thousand monks, please stay respectful, so that you can stay for more than a month, and when you are complete, the disciple sends the teacher up the mountain with a sedan chair. There are only 800 miles to Lingshan here, and it is not far away. ”
This "Kou Hong" character "Da Kuan", 64 years old, wants to fast ten thousand monks, has insisted on it for 24 years. has two sons who are young Xiucai, named Kou Liang and Kou Dong. There is content in this, and the author is quietly reminding us that this Kou member is a big man in the Ming Dynasty because the word "Kou Liang, Kou Dong" is implied in the word Dongliang.
Here, a question arises, why it will take more than a month for Kou Yuanwai to pursue the Great Perfection.
Tang Seng wanted to slap his ass and leave, but he tried his best to keep it, and after five or seven days, he invited 24 local monks to make a complete dojo.
In this way, Tang Seng stayed at someone's house for about half a month, and Tang Seng proposed that he and the others should go on the road.
Kou Yuanwai continued to stay, but Tang Seng was worried that the delay would be too long, and whether Li Shimin would give him small shoes to wear after learning the scriptures, so he refused. Bajie naturally wanted to eat and drink for a few days, so he complained that the master was not close. Tang Seng was suddenly furious, scolded the old pig, and without saying anything, he also took Wukong Sha Seng with him. As soon as the monkey saw it, he took advantage of the situation to teach the eight precepts, and the sand monk also smiled there to help the senior brother.
Kou Yuan looked outside, where are you masters and apprentices singing, my master is still here, and his face can't be hung up, so he has to promise Tang Seng that he is going to invite relatives and neighbors tomorrow to beat gongs and drums to see him off.
His wife also coincidentally came out at this time and wanted to fast for half a month, using her own private money to meet the expenses; Kou Dong and Kou Liang also joined in the fun, and also entertained the monk for half a month, and had the usual money saved to the bottom.
This family was too enthusiastic, but Tang Seng politely refused. But it made the old lady unhappy and buried the root of the curse.
Bajie couldn't help but point his fingers and poke at the master again, Tang Seng was looking forward to leaving early, and felt that the old lady didn't like the words she left when she left, so he shouted at Bajie at this time.
Bajie is also interesting, he actually slapped himself twice in the mouth, and said that he was too talkative. Tang Seng's fire came up, who did he slap in the mouth, these eight precepts, relying on his usual maintenance of him, are a bit unusual. But Tang Seng still liked the old pig very much, so he held back and didn't scold Bajie anymore.
Wukong and Sha Seng were happy on the side, Tang Seng listened to it so harshly, whether these two guys were ridiculing Bajie or laughing at themselves. So the holy monk was going to recite the mantra, and the monkey saw that Tang Seng was annoyed and angry, so he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, and the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him.
After watching Tang Seng perform for a while, he was embarrassed to keep it anymore, so he didn't bother anymore, and immediately went to invite someone to prepare to see him off. The pie is not small, I invited more than 100 numbers, and found a group of drummers, made colorful flags, and touched two groups of monks and Taoist priests, and set it to send the monk to the west tomorrow.
The family was busy for most of the night, and the next day the Tang monks and apprentices were ready to set off at any time. The owner made a big fanfare, and a group of villagers came, and everyone went to the backyard to eat and drink, this guy, the book wrote, although it was the people's house, it was no less than the prince's house. The laughter and laughter can be earth-shattering.
From here, it can be seen that the characters reflected outside the Kou Yuan must have a high status, but they are not princes. It should be a minister, regardless of how much money he has, but the one with a lot of pomp is more likely to be a cabinet scholar or even a first assistant.
In addition to indulging in eating and drinking, Bajie can also have deep brotherly affection, reminding Sha Seng to also let go of the creation, and before leaving, he also put two sleeves of food and food.
The staff sent off Tang Seng outside, and did not return with tears until they were twelve or thirteen miles away from the city. The author is also full of emotion, saying that this is exactly what he wants, and he has no chance to see the Buddha if he returns to Miaojue.
I can't help but have a question mark in my mind, the attitude of Kou Yuanwai is very incomprehensible, and the author's exclamation is inexplicable. It's actually easy for you to see Rulai, the distance is only eight hundred miles, and it will be there in a few days, even if you don't want to see this mortal, but you can't limit the legs and feet of Kouyuan, and don't let you go to Lingshan for pilgrimage.
There is also a faint point that the author respects this Ming Dynasty minister who is reflected outside the courtier, and thinks that he is a loyal minister, and naturally has a deep affection for Tang monks and apprentices (reflecting many emperors of the Ming Dynasty). But why does the author describe this loyal minister so vaguely? One cannot help but wonder that this loyal minister did not end well.
After Wukong left, he walked forty or fifty miles, and it was getting late, and the old pig complained about the master. Tang Seng scolded Bajie again, and he will kill you, a full ghost and evil animal, in the future.
Bajie could only smile bitterly and didn't dare to speak.
Wukong reminded Tang Seng that there was a place to rest in front of him. Everyone went to find that it was a ruined temple. Everyone had to make do with it all night, but this ruined temple has a history. It is "Huaguang Xingyuan", Tang Seng explained, "Huaguang Bodhisattva is the apprentice of the flame five-light Buddha, because of the elimination of the poisonous fire ghost king, demoted, turned into the five manifestation of the spirit official, there must be a temple here." Then they all went in, but they saw that the corridors and houses were all falling, and the walls were all toppling, and there was no sign of people, but some weeds. I wanted to get out, but unexpectedly, the black clouds in the sky covered the top, and the rain was drenched. was helpless, but under the dilapidated house, he chose a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and took refuge. Dense and lonely, I dare not raise my voice, for fear of demonic awareness. Sitting, standing, sitting, staggering, struggling all night without sleeping. Hey, it's really true: Taiji is still alive, happy and sad.
Why do you want to introduce this Raushzi, after combining the context and speculation about the outside of the Kou, we have found something from it.
Tang Seng said that Huaguang Bodhisattva was demoted because he had done good deeds. Then it is telling us that this minister who is outside the court is unlucky.
The most intriguing thing is Tang Seng's previous attitude, although he said that he was eager to see the Buddha, but it can be seen from his words and actions that he disdains this outsider. However, Kou Yuanwai is extremely optimistic about Tang Seng, and he can notice it from crying loudly when he parted.
This place is already close to Lingshan, and there has been no change after that. It shows that the background period of the current mapping is the Longqing or Wanli period, but the attitude of Tang Seng is superficial, and this Ming Dynasty minister has emerged in the Jiajing period. Moreover, this minister respects Emperor Jiajing very much, but Jiajing does not pay much attention to him.
Then there is no doubt that this minister must be among Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, and Zhang Juzheng. Because Xu Jie was later trusted by Jiajing, he was taken down by Longqing. The possibility of Li Chunfang is almost zero, and he did not write his own like this. Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are both possible, and the latter is more likely.
On the other hand, why did Li Chunfang revise Wu Chengen's work? There is only one most reasonable explanation, that is, to make the Journey to the West more full, and the ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh chapters more representative.
But I still don't understand whether it's Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng, let's read the book first, and then discuss it later.
On this night, there was a group of murderers in Diling County, Tongtai Prefecture, who went to rob the house of the Kou Yuanwai, and the Kou Yuanwai also wanted the robbers to leave some family property, but the bandits kicked the Kou Yuanwai Yin to the ground, and the poor three souls returned to the underworld, and the seven souls left the world!
The old lady was sad and said yes, it was Tang Seng who lit the fire, Zhu Bajie who held the knife, Sha Monk who carried gold and silver, and Sun Xingzhi who killed your Lao Tzu.
The two children wrote a letter of submission and reported the case after dawn.
These contents are all words in the words, which vaguely point out that Kou Yuanwai - a chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty was once persecuted, and even died in the end.
So from here, it can be seen that this guy is a bit like a high arch, but he still feels that something is not quite right.
When Lord Shi Zhengtang received the report, he sent people to arrest Tang Seng.
Tang Seng and the others were also quite coincidental, they just happened to meet those robbers, and the monkeys were all caught. From the mouth of the bandits, it was learned that the family of the Kou Yuan was in misfortune.
Tang Seng planned to return the Kou family's property, but let the bandits go. As a result, it happened to be "all the stolen goods" by the officers and soldiers.
The assassin Shi Shengtang asked about the case, and he first sentenced Wukong. Suddenly, I only heard someone come to report, "Master, Grandpa Chen Shaobao has arrived, please come out of Guo to greet you." The assassin immediately ordered the torture officer, "Put the thief in prison, take care of the jurisdiction, and wait for me to take over the boss and then torture him." ”
There is a question here, that is, who is this "Grandpa Chen Shaobao" who came, it is quite big, and he has to let Lord Thorn Shi go out of the city to greet him. However, later on, he didn't give a single account to this big official. Moreover, the word "Duxia" in ancient times meant the capital, but in the Ming Dynasty, it generally referred to the imperial palace. Then this Chen Shaobao is very suspicious. Linking the context before and after, it is speculated that he was a eunuch during the Ming Dynasty, and the official was not small.
But it is even more verified, there is a shadow of Gao Gong on the outside of this Kou, and Gao Gong was jointly ousted by Zhang Juzheng and Eunuch Feng Bao.
Tang Seng squatted in the room all night and was beaten first. Wukong knew that it was the jailers who were asking for money, so he said that he would give them the robe in the baggage.
Tang Seng was reluctant to do it, his heart ached, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't continue to be beaten, so he had to do so.
Sure enough, when the jailers saw it, they were happy, it was a baby, and they got rich, so they bypassed Tang Seng a few.
So he alarmed the prison officer of the department, and he was shocked at first glance, this is not a mortal thing, which means that these monks have an identity, and they have to be kept to save trouble in the future.
Wukong went out in the middle of the night, and first arrived at the door of Kou's house, only to see a person making tofu, and an old man burning a fire, and his mother squeezing the pulp. The old man suddenly shouted, "Mom, Kou Daguan has children and wealth, but he doesn't have a long life." He and I studied with him as a young classmate, and I was five years older than him. His old man's name was Kou Ming, and he didn't have thousands of acres of land at that time, and he couldn't afford to put some rents. When he was twenty years old, Na Ming Lao'er died, and he was in charge of his belongings, which was actually his good luck. The wife he married was the daughter of Zhang Wang, whose nickname was Needle Piercing, but she was Wangfu. Since entering his door, he has farmed and harvested, put in the account and started again, and he has made 100,000 furniture by buying and making money. When he was forty years old, he turned his heart to goodness, fasted ten thousand monks, and was kicked to death by robbers last night. Poor ! I am only 64 years old this year, and I just happened to enjoy it, when did I die unexpectedly for such kindness and not be rewarded for it? Sorry, sorry!"
It can be seen from here that the two of them are very economical and are quite good at making a fortune. Then we know that Gao Gong doesn't like things outside his body, and he is an honest and honest character. Then there is a question, which very important figure in the Ming Dynasty does this Kou Yuanwai reflect?
The monkey went to the house outside the court, and Wukong made a fuss for a while, scaring the old lady and her two sons. The mother and son decided to withdraw tomorrow so that they could have peace of mind.
The monkey continued to the residence of the assassin, and saw a scroll painting hanging on the wall, which was an official riding an idea horse, and there were several servants, holding a green umbrella and holding a bed, and I didn't know what the story was.
To be honest, I can't figure out what kind of painting this is, there must be a mystery. If you know the specific allusions of this painting, it may be more difficult to understand the meaning of these two books, and it will be easier to solve the mystery in these two books.
Wukong continues to pretend to be a ghost, scaring Thorn Shi to death, and will try the case well tomorrow.
Of course, the next day, Tang Seng was released, but Wukong still had to convince everyone. So the monkey went to the Netherworld, and the king of Hades said, "We didn't send someone to detain you, you go to the Jizo Bodhisattva to ask for someone." The Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth said, "Kou Hongyangshou, stop the number of hexagrams, and never stain the bed mat at the end of his life, and abandon the world." Because he is a monk and a good man, I accepted him as the head of the case in charge of the book of good karma. Since the great sage came to fetch it, I will extend his longevity for another one and teach him to go with the great sage. The golden-clothed boy then led Kou Hong, and when Kou Hong saw the walker, he shouted, "Teacher, teacher, save me!" The walker said, "You were kicked to death by the robbers." This is the place of the Bodhisattva of the Yin Division Dizang King, my old grandson came to take you to the yang world, and this matter is clear, not only by the Bodhisattva back, but also to extend your yang life for a lifetime, and after twelve years, you will come again. ”
Wukong and Jizo Bodhisattva were very generous, and gave that person twelve years of yang life, which means something. This character who is reflected outside the Kou Yuan must have died when he wrote Journey to the West twice, but the author of Journey to the West felt very sorry or unhappy.
Wukong brought him back to the outside of the Kou Yuan, and let him return to his soul, and he was alive again.
Of course, the man said how he died before, and after everyone understood, they did not blame the old lady again.
There is a detail, that is, the statements of the Hades of the Netherworld and the Bodhisattva of the Earth are not quite consistent. Hades thinks that the Kou Yuan does not deserve to die, and Jizo says that death is normal. Kou Yuanwai is unwilling to mix here in Jizo, so let Wukong save him out.
It shows that the author of Journey to the West has a bad view of hell and even Buddhism, because good people often don't get good rewards, and if you go to the West Heaven Bliss, you don't have to go to the netherworld.
The whole story of Tongtai Mansion is basically over, and it is not complicated at first glance, and it doesn't look like a big deal, but it even wrote the content of the book twice. And the strangest thing is that after passing Tongtai Mansion, you will soon arrive at the foot of Lingshan, and there will be no monster tests or anything on the way. So why do you want to tell such a little story with great fanfare near Lingshan?
It shows that there must be something in it, maybe Lao Wu wrote other content at the beginning, but it was rewritten by Li Chunfang. Then Li Chunfang is obviously not a crooked character, which can only show that he is adding some content for Old Man Wu, making the book Journey to the West more profound and full.
So what is the content that makes Li Chunfang not hesitate to change the work of an old friend.
Let's analyze, Lao Wu died in 1582, and the Journey to the West may have just been written before this, and there is a great possibility that it was not finalized.
Then it shows that a relatively big event happened in the Ming Dynasty around 1582, and Lao Wu didn't have time to write it.
Looking at history, in 1578 Gao Gongxian died, in 1582 Zhang Juzheng died, and in 1583 Xu Jie died. In addition, in 1585, Li Chunfang also said goodbye.
This makes it even more clear that the characters reflected outside this officer will not be Zhang Juzheng and ministers other than Gao Gong.
Thinking about it, Caesar thinks that it should be the whole family outside the Kou Yuan that reflects the combined image of Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong!
In fact, Xu Jie's is also very likely, but he was the first assistant who was reused in the last years of Jiajing, and was raided shortly after the resignation of Longqing in the early years of Longqing, and after his death, there was no major impact in the short term;
And "ten thousand monks do not hinder" is obviously a reflection that Zhang Juzheng did not make great restrictions on Buddhism, but this is actually not to blame on Zhang Juzheng.
Then Li Chunfang has an absolute motive to revise Journey to the West, that is, to write Zhang Juzheng into it, otherwise it will be Lao Wu's biggest regret. Although Li Chunfang's writing style is very different from that of Lao Wu, its meaning is excellent, not only is it not the failure of Journey to the West, on the contrary, he has perfected the book.
Lao Wu was obviously full of expectations for Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng, and wrote the book Journey to the West to advise them. However, Lao Wu only had time to write Gao Gong (died in 1578) first, that is, Kou Yuanwai. But the years were unforgiving, and Wu Chengen died in 1582. In this year, Zhang Juzheng also passed away! Although it is not clear whether Lao Wu's death was in front of Zhang Juzheng or behind, we can still think that at least it is impossible for Old Man Wu to add Zhang Juzheng's story to Journey to the West.
Li Chunfang naturally wanted to help Wu Chengen fulfill this wish, so he started proofreading and rewriting at least the ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh times.
Let's take a look at Zhang Juzheng first, like Yan Song, it is quite controversial, but it is much better than Yan Song's fate.
Ming Shi commented, "Zhang Juzheng is well-versed in the changes of the times and has the courage to do things." At the beginning of the reign of Shenzong, the ups and downs of Zhenwei cannot be said to be non-talented. And the exercise of authority is more than the shock of the lord, and after the death causes disaster. The "book" says that "the minister is reckless in favor of profit", but he can be a precaution! "The former praise and the latter depreciation, more objective." However, the derogatory meaning given is "shaking the master", which shows that Zhang Tingyu and others praised him, but due to the situation at the time, Zhang Juzheng could only be convicted of a "crime".
Zhang Juzheng's deeds will not be talked about, the merits are far greater than the faults, everyone should be familiar with them, just choose some resumes.
In 1547, Zhang Juzheng was admitted to the Jinshi examination, when he was twenty-three years old. He entered the Hanlin Academy and conferred the title of Jishi. At this time, it was the inseparable struggle between Xia Yan and Yan Song during the Jiajing period.
In 1564, Zhang Juzheng became the teacher of Yuwang Zhu Zaiyuan, which laid the foundation for later becoming the first assistant.
In 1567, Zhang Juzheng was a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University, and entered the cabinet, and in the same year, he was reappointed as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and he rose to prominence.
Later, there was a conflict with Gao Gong, so he united with Eunuch Feng Bao and arched Gao Gong down.
From then on, he remained in power until his death in 1582.
In 1581, Zhang Juzheng continued his drastic reforms, creating the conditions for prosperity during the Wanli period, while also offending a large number of officials.
His approach is actually a comprehensive performance of Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and others, so he can be basically unaffected when he is alive. And Zhang Juzheng's advantage is the shortcomings in the eyes of others, from the emperor to the sesame official, they can't stand Lao Zhang for a long time, and they can't stand it. However, the shadow of the famous tree, at least when Zhang Juzheng is alive, who dares to do anything to others?
After Zhang Juzheng's death, his house was raided and a lot of gold and silver were found, including 100,000 taels of silver. Then this amount, to be honest, is not large, far from the same thing. Of course, if it is only based on his annual salary, it will definitely be impossible to save enough.
When the house was raided, Zhang Juzheng's eldest son committed suicide, and the others were also dismissed or even confiscated. Maybe this is just some of the reflections in Journey to the West, where many bandits robbed the foreign homes of the coars.
But we must know that Zhang Juzheng does not believe in Buddhism, and he can't get along with Buddha everywhere. Because the Empress Dowager of Emperor Wanli is a fan of Buddhism, she often plans to cultivate this and worship that. But unsurprisingly, basically what Lao Zhang said doesn't count. Empress Dowager Li is very interesting, Zhang Juzheng taught the emperor that it is okay, but he can't stop himself from worshipping Buddha and participating in Zen. This is also the origin of "ten thousand monks do not stop" outside the Kou Yuan, Zhang Juzheng can't even dare to reprimand Empress Dowager Li.
Therefore, Li Chunfang's description in the book is actually a big reversal, otherwise it would be easy for people to see that he is writing Zhang Juzheng. That's worth it, Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation was realized forty years after his death, and everyone in the entire Wanli Dynasty kept it secret, so Li Chunfang must not be able to catch up and can't wait, and he died in 1585.
But Li Chunfang obviously respects this junior who has come from behind, and appreciates it and deeply regrets it. Therefore, I hope that God can let Zhang Juzheng live for another twelve years, but I just wrote this wish into a novel.
The Chen Shaobao mentioned in the book is estimated to be the Feng Bao eunuch who is reflected, which of course was very powerful in the Longqing period and the early Wanli period.
Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng cooperated okay, but Feng Bao was also unlucky here, Zhang Juzheng just died, and he was impeached. In 1582, he was sent to Nanjing, and died of old age.
Finally, let's take a look at Gao Gong, who is also a controversial figure.
Gao Gong served as the first assistant for a short time, but his political achievements were remarkable, and the actions of the Longqing period were basically designed and planned by Lao Gao. Zhang Juzheng has improved many places on the basis of others. However, the high arch is also domineering and exposed, and in the end the bad luck is inseparable from this.
In 1572, when Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan of Longqing was dying, he regarded Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi as ministers who took care of their lives, and insisted on Gao Gong's hand and said, "Mr. Tired of the world". In a word, the evaluation of the high arch can be seen.
Gao Gong didn't look down on those eunuchs, especially Feng Bao, these two people belonged to the wrong death.
But at this time, Feng Bao had already revised Longqing's will, saying that the highest eunuch would be an auxiliary minister with the minister of Gu Ming. What can Gao Gong do, he kept asking for the removal of this eunuch to interfere in politics, and the contradiction between the two became more and more intensified.
Later, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng also had an estrangement, and as a result, Zhang Juzheng united with Feng Bao and arched Gao Gong away.
After Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, the eunuch Feng Bao said bad things about Gao Gong in front of the two queen mothers, saying that he was an autocratic government and wanted to get rid of the eunuchs around the emperor.
It is better to believe it than not to believe it, and the two queen mothers naturally have to take decisive measures. In front of many ministers, he issued an edict to reprimand Gao Gong and drove him out of the capital.
Gao Gong fell to the ground and couldn't get up, but Zhang Juzheng helped him up and let him go home from Xuanwu Gate in a mule cart.
After Gao Gong returned to his hometown, he was naturally in a bad mood, so he wondered if this change was caused by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, and also wrote a book "Last Words on the Sickbed" saying that Zhang Juzheng "was a master and a ghost again, playing the flute, pinching his eyes, playing the drum and playing the pipa".
"Being a master and a ghost again, playing the flute, pinching your eyes, playing the drum and playing the pipa", carefully in the ninety-sixth chapter of Journey to the West, you can see that there is indeed such a plot. The most intriguing thing is that Li Chunfang is also quite talented! He even used the words and deeds of Zhang's wife, who was outside the Kou Yuan, to write the battle between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng in a vague way, and couldn't help but sigh that this "Qingzi Prime Minister" did have a few brushes, but he could not be seen in the imperial court at that time, and could only be a hermit like Dongfang Shuo.
It is said that Zhang Juzheng once went to Gao Gong's hometown, and the two cried when they met. When they saw each other, they hid their faces and wept, and they were full of emotion. After all, heroes cherish each other, of course, they should cry and cry, they should scold and scold, and they should fight to win or lose.
Li Chunfang was the most reluctant to fight, so she began to apply for retirement early, and finally returned home to live a peaceful and idyllic life. However, although Lao Li is in the people, he is still concerned about the Ming Dynasty, and he is quite sympathetic to the experience of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, so he wrote Lao Wu's Journey to the West, which will be passed on to future generations. In fact, in the past, Caesar also thought that although Li Chunfang was talented, he was not used in a serious place, and he handled government affairs in general. But through careful reading of Journey to the West, I feel that we still misunderstand this old man. If there is action, it will be bad luck, and if there is Yuan Gong, there will be "creation and making people", Li Chunfang has seen it through, and everyone should understand.
Tang monks and apprentices still go to the west to learn the scriptures, hey! This is exactly what the earth can do evil things, and the sky is high and lives up to the kind-hearted people. Leisurely and steady, only to the Lingshan Bliss Gate. After all, I don't know what it is like to see a Buddha, please listen to the nonsense next time.
