Chapter 17: Death

Let's say that Monk Zhu won the country, and the Buddhist community was excited, thinking that the emperor would trumpet Buddhism, but in fact this is not the case. This has something to do with Monk Zhu and the Buddha's retribution, when he entered the temple, it was only the cause of living and making a living, not consciously becoming a monk. His subsequent path was not the path of Buddhism. Buddhism teaches sentient beings to do good, let go, and liberate, and does not make people rich and promoted. Monk Zhu also fought in the vulgar and killed countless people, strictly speaking, how can he be regarded as a person in Buddhism? It can only be regarded as a cause for Buddhism.

Many people can't see this clearly, especially some of the temple monks, Yin Shi of the new dynasty, were invited by the emperor to be guests.

Zhu monk Enwei Buddhism, set up a good world, high rank, consult Buddhism, give a degree, send monks to envoys. Translate the current words, set up a place, confer some monk positions, bless the new dynasty, allow monks to preach freely, often invite monks to speak the Dharma, and send monks to travel to and from Buddhist countries. For example, the leaders of the Buddhist world such as the eminent monks Chu Qi, Jin Bifeng, Gu Sheng Jixiang (Indian monk), Bao Tan, and Huaixin all received special courtesy.

Monk Zhu believed that "it is impossible to escape the fate of karma, and the retribution is clear", and he pushed Buddhism to a very high position, and at the same time restricted it. Sure enough, a few years later, Monk Zhu ordered that monks should be restricted from becoming monks, proficient in the classics, and women were not allowed to join the monks before they were forty. The most harmful thing is to merge the monastic monasteries, and ask the government, state, and county to stop the existence of large temples and temples.

In any case, of the nine major unified dynasties in history: Qin, Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, only Liu Bang and Zhu Monk were of civilian origin and had a sense of identity with the bottom society. Monk Zhu did miscellaneous work in the monastery, failed to learn Buddhism and chanted scriptures, and even never read the scriptures seriously, but he also had sympathy for Buddhism.

However, looking at it now, Monk Zhu's "suppressing Buddhism with Buddhism" is just wishful thinking, and later temples gave birth to the White Lotus Sect. After his death, several church uprisings broke out. That's for another time.

Mibu was invited many times, but never went to the capital, even though he had a meritorious rescue and got the imperial treasure, he still didn't dare to make a noise, let alone show people, all of them were the understanding of Monk Zhu and the understanding of the essence of Buddhism. Now it's different, as a suspect escorted to Beijing, the reward is naturally waived, and it is difficult to say whether his life can be saved.

Luo Shuangxing will be densely packed into Dali Temple, but how to deal with it is also difficult. The emperor's "three noes" requirements at the beginning, so far I think about it, it is the most incomprehensible thing.

Imprisoned, if the emperor invited a guest, wouldn't it be a slack and disrespectful? Arranged in the inn, if it is really a criminal, it is extrajudicial and lax law enforcement. Alas, Luo Shuangxing is nerve-wracking again.

He hurriedly asked Lang Hongjie, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, about it. After all, Hong Jie has been an official of the Criminal Department for a long time, so he is well-informed, and after a little thought, he suggested that he be placed in the public court. There is water when you are thirsty, there is food when you are hungry, there is a couch if you want to sleep, and there is a thatched hut if you want to pee. If it is a guest, this treatment is also reasonable, and the Yamen of Dali Temple is not a place to enter if you want to. If the emperor really wants to interrogate the guilt, the court has been trying the case day and night, and he has never slackened at all.

This plan is very good, and Mi Mi is satisfied, after all, he is not in prison. I just don't understand that a guest is not a guest, and a crime is not a crime, what is the reason?

After five or six days in a blink of an eye, Dali Temple tried the case decently, and Mibu never admitted to stealing the treasure. On the seventh day, the emperor issued a decree to let Mibu enter the palace.

Dali Temple is in trouble again, and the emperor summons it, so in what capacity does Mi Mi enter the palace, and do you want to be shackled? Hong Jie still has a way, and he ordered to bring shackles.

If you send it to the court hall of Fengtian Palace, you will immediately be handcuffed outside the hall, and if you go to the emperor's study, you can't be shackled, and you have to send it in with etiquette.

Luo Shuangxing felt that the method was good, so he took the dense cloth to the palace, and sure enough, the squire's cleverness appeared. Under the guidance of the eunuch, Mibu was taken to the emperor's study. Luo Shuangxing broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he thought it through, otherwise he would be in trouble.

When Luo Shuangxing was leaving, he also saluted Master Mibu, intending to apologize, for fear that he would say bad things in front of the emperor. Densely spread the salute and chant "Amitabha".

Monk Zhu did not believe very much in the matter of stealing treasures, so he instructed the "three noes", he wanted to live densely and ask him face to face.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, seeing Mibu coming in, Monk Zhu made an exception and got up to greet him.

Mibu saw Monk Zhu and was about to kneel, but was helped up by Monk Zhu.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, looked at each other, greeted each other, and found that both of them were older.

Monk Zhu thought of the dense ambulance back then, and he was very emotional.

Saint, there is no need to worry about the past, under the circumstances, life and death are at stake, if it is an ordinary person, the old monk will still lend a hand. Buddhism is compassionate, which is also the duty of old monks.

Monk Zhu was very satisfied with what he heard, and then asked about the imperial treasure.

Please forgive the saint, the old monk will give the treasure of Lingguang Temple to hide, I have not seen the treasure, I don't know what it is.

Monk Zhu was very surprised, his royal gifts, densely disdained, and buried and hidden, what does this mean.

The Holy Treasure Lingguang Temple is the infinite glory of the small temple. The saint sent someone to tell the old monk that showing this thing can solve the difficulties of the temple. However, there is no difficulty in this temple, and it does not want to let the illegal migration have delusions, so it imitates the method of Tibetan Buddhism to "hide and hide", bury it, so that the treasures can avoid natural and man-made disasters, and protect the Lingguang Temple forever.

Monk Zhu nodded, still thoughtful, but the temple had already dug up the spiritual pagoda and found no treasures. Why is that?

Saintly, no one knows where the treasure is hidden, the old monk will prepare his last words in the future, if there is a high monk in the temple in the future, it will naturally solve this mystery, the old monk thinks, the holy things are only worthy of use by people who are both virtuous and artistic.

Monk Zhu secretly applauded, Mibu is indeed a high monk.

I have made it clear that the abbots of each temple are appointed by the government, and the apprentices of non-teachers are not what can I do?

Although the saint is reassured, the old monk believes that as long as he resides in the spiritual light and receives the ordination, learns the rituals, participates in the Zen method, learns the scriptures, and participates in all directions, he will naturally comprehend the wonders.

Since the mage thinks so, I will not say more, but the mage has not seen the treasure, and he will not regret his death? It's better for me to tell the mage.

If the treasure has a day to see the light of day, the old monk will know in the west.

Can you tell me where the treasure is hidden?

Nor can it. After the old monk died, he must instruct the monks of Lingguang Temple to send the instructions to the saint. If the saint understands the meaning of the old monk, he will know where the treasure is hidden.

Monk Zhu sighed deeply and waved his hand, saying that it was the meaning of Master Yimibu. Then he issued an order to let the master speak the Dharma for three days, and the Dali Temple escorted the master back to Lingguang Temple.

Three days later, Luo Shuangxing was ordered to escort Master Mibu back to the monastery. After another seven days, they arrived at the mountain gate of Lingguang Temple.

Luo Shuangxing told the mage in the carriage that there was no sound, lifted the curtain, and found that the mage was sitting upright and passed away.

Luo Shuangxing was extremely shocked, and hurriedly carried the body of the master into the main hall with the monks of Lingguang Temple, instructed the good students to take care of him, and went to Beijing overnight to report to him.

Monk Zhu was very emotional and very sad when he learned that he was densely scattered. He suddenly remembered something and asked Luo Shuangxing.

Can a mage leave a suicide note?

Reported to the emperor, the mage did not leave a suicide note.

How is that possible? The mage said that he would leave his last words and send someone to me, and now I am afraid that no one will know about it.

Monk Zhu muttered to himself, his expression in a trance.

Qi to the emperor, the lower officials cleaned up the mage's clothes and found a posthumous poem of the mage.
