Chapter 459: Tsoqin Living Buddha
What is the fastest walking thing in the world that has no legs? The first is gossip, and the second is poetry.
Less than the fifth day of the first lunar month, many Qinglou wine shops in the streets and alleys circulated the wine poem written by Xiao Feng when he was drunk. Zhang Tianci's brewery is even closer to the water, and Xiao Feng is regarded as the image spokesperson.
"Do you know what is the reason why Lord Xiao has been making poems for two consecutive years? It's because I drank God-given wine! That's right, God-given wine, that's it! ”
"No, how did I hear that during the Chinese New Year last year, your Tianci Wine Shop hadn't opened yet! What does Lord Xiao's first poem have to do with you? ”
“…… Internal special, internal special, don't you understand? It's the kind that doesn't have a brand, and only insiders can drink it! Not to be outdone, Zuixianlou directly wrote the whole poem on the wall in big letters, and said that this poem was written for Zuixianlou to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the opening of Zuixianlou!
"Boss Chen, this whole poem doesn't mention the name of Drunken Immortal Building from beginning to end! How do you know that it was written for Drunken Immortal Building? It's not like you can't drink in other restaurants! ”
"Guest officer, Lord Xiao is a shareholder of our store. Does this need to be asked? It's like when you write a poem praising a beauty, you must also praise your wife, regardless of yourself. Right, this lady? ”
"Yes, yes, you're right, what do you want to eat? Today is the death day of my wife's cousin, and we are going to order something good to remember my wife's cousin! ”
"Isn't this person sick? His wife's cousin died, why was he so happy? ”
"Don't you know, he is a son-in-law, his wife's cousin, I heard that he died after eating the Bliss Pill and got a stroke...... "A group of drunkards even found a reason to drink, and said in groups of three or five that they should drink more today, anyway, everything is empty, and they should lie down.
At the end of the sixth day of the first month, Jiajing had to attend the court meeting on the first day of work as usual, and the twists and turns of the Yan Party's imperial history were almost full of books, all of which were impeachment of Xiao Feng's drunken words, unofficial, dark heart, and great rebellion.
Jiajing immediately knew that it was the younger brother who was drunk and wrote poems, to tell the truth, although the poems were well written, they were indeed a little open-mouthed, and they insisted on finding faults, but there were still some.
Jiajing was about to defend his junior brother and reprimanded the ministers for making a big fuss, and when he had nothing to do, he suddenly came to report it.
"Long live, all the living Buddhas in Tibet, Gong Tuo Tsochen Living Buddha, escorted by two iron rod lamas and twenty monks and soldiers, have arrived at the main and guest divisions. The Living Buddha Tsochen handed over the ordination and documents, and begged for a summons. It is claimed that Jinyiwei assassinated the iron-roded lama Luo Busang, who was sent to Miao Jiang, on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and wanted to seek justice from the imperial court. Jiajing frowned and looked at Lu Bing on the side, Lu Bing shook his head, saying that this was definitely not done by us, but by someone who planted it.
Jiajing sighed: "This matter is not our doing, but the relationship between the Tibetan area and the imperial court has always been not harmonious, but I am afraid that it is not easy to convince." Tibet has always been the land of the Ming Dynasty, although it is far from endless. Do not indulge, neither persecute. It needs to be relaxed, polite and courteous, and it is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty. All of you are good at speaking, I don't know who is willing to take on this responsibility? "The imperial historians who were originally violent, and denounced Xiao Feng suddenly didn't move.
It's a thankless drudgery, and it's not the right thing to do! It's too polite, the emperor will feel that you have lost the face of the court, and directly give you an incompetent and shameless comment, and the dismissal of the official is a high probability event.
It's too tough, in case it really reverses the Tibetan area, the Tibetan area is close to the Miaojiang and Tatar people, and then it will be rotten.
Then it's not a question of being able or incompetent, it's a question of having a life or not being able to die! Anyway, for the emperor, this matter is too soft to feel uncomfortable, too hard and easy to cause bloodshed, and the consequences will be even more serious at that time!
So, who would dare to take on this kind of hard and soft dilemma? What's more, Yushi has always been a player in the internal impeachment nest, and he is not good at it externally.
Jiajing glanced at them and snorted in his nose. Shouting, why don't you shout? A bunch of things that owe the board, is the ass itching again?
"Xuan Xiaofeng go to the palace, this kind of thing is the most suitable for him. Lu Bing found out the root cause of this matter as soon as possible, although I don't worship Buddha, I won't kill the monk and destroy the Buddha! "When Xiao Feng went to the hall, the Living Buddha Tsoqin was already waiting in the hall.
The Living Buddha is not the name of this living Buddha, but his title. In Tibetan areas, living Buddhas are also divided into grades, which can be roughly divided into five levels according to the research of later scholars.
The first class of living Buddhas is called "Gyab Zhugu", that is, the Regency Living Buddha. The second level of the living Buddha, also known as the "Hutu Ketu" living Buddha.
The third level of living Buddha is the living Buddha of the three major temples. The fourth-level living Buddha is also called Chiwa Zhugu.
The fifth-level living Buddha is called Khenpo Drangu. Like the two that everyone is familiar with, they are not among them, they belong to the super grade.
This is just a rough classification, and there are many more detailed divisions. Xiao Feng is not an expert in this area, so naturally he can't figure it out, but he only knows that this living Buddha of Cuoqin who is now in the main hall is equivalent to a middle and high-level cadre in the living Buddha in Tibet.
The two stood in the main hall and looked at each other, a common practice for diplomats with diplomatic experience, who even got to know their opponents in general before speaking.
The Living Buddha Tsoqin is in his forties, dressed in a red and yellow monk's robe, and although his face has wrinkles, it is still difficult to hide his beauty, which shows that he was also an extremely handsome man when he was young, with compassion and confidence between his eyebrows.
Xiao Feng has just turned nineteen years old, dressed in green clothes and white robes, his face is full of collagen, but it does not cover the edges and corners of his face, and he is calm and calm in his smile, and he is not an honest guy at first glance.
After the two met each other, they saluted each other, and then the Living Buddha Tsoqin slowly spoke.
"Xiao Tianshi, this time the Tibetan monks recommended poor monks to come to the imperial court, do you know why?" Xiao Feng nodded and said: "Thinking about it, it should be the living Buddha who knows the most about affairs and knows the rules and laws of the imperial court." The Living Buddha Tsochen shook his head: "This is not the main cause, but the main reason is that the iron-roded lama Lobsang who was killed is my master and my disciple. The ministers all blinked in surprise, thinking they had misheard.
Xiao Feng accepted Yu Dayou as a disciple, and the disciple in turn taught his father's kung fu, and everyone already felt that it was nondescript.
This living Buddha Tsoqin said that Luo Busang was both his master and his disciple, which is even more confusing, could it be that this living Buddha was sent as a representative because he was a little stupid and was used as a gun?
In fact, this can't be blamed on the courtiers for not having knowledge, but after Jiajing ascended the throne, Buddhism was not allowed to smoke, and the ministers were either silent and confused, or they studied Taoism for promotion, and their knowledge of Buddhism was wasted.
Not to mention that there are still many differences between Tibetan Buddhism and Central Plains Buddhism, just like once the fourth and sixth levels are abolished, students will not like to learn English, let alone learn the authentic London dialect.
Xiao Feng came from later generations, but he knew a little about the reincarnation of Tibetan Buddhism, and sighed at the moment: "In the last life, he was your apprentice, and in this life, he is your master, and the fate of the two lives is so deep." When the Living Buddha of Cuoqin saw Xiao Feng's words, he couldn't help but be surprised: "The Heavenly Master knows a lot about my Tibetan affairs, and the emperor asked you to discuss with me, and you really know how to make good use of people." Originally, I hoped to help Luo Busang cultivate the ability of reincarnation and continue the relationship between the two of us, but I didn't want him to die. With his current practice, there is no chance of reincarnation and cultivation, and the fate of the two of us will be broken. "The Living Buddha Tsoqin turned to Lobusang's death with his relationship with Luo Busang, which is very natural, and there is no strength in asking the teacher for sin, but it makes people empathize with the sadness.
Xiao Feng nodded secretly, from this sentence, he knew why the Tibetan area would send this living Buddha, this is indeed a well-informed person who knows how to be reasonable.
The Living Buddha said this, but Xiao Feng did not dare to agree. In my opinion, it is still uncertain whether Lobusang can be reincarnated and practice, or even whether he can become a Buddha in one step. The eyes of the Living Buddha of Tsoqin suddenly opened, and a pair of eyes were shining, which was indeed restrained and thoughtful, which made people feel worshipful in an instant.
"What does the Heavenly Master mean by this? I have a relationship with Lobusang and the Buddha, and his cultivation is the best for me. How did the Heavenly Master conclude that Lobusang had the opportunity to be reincarnated, and even had the hope of becoming a Buddha in one step? Xiao Feng smiled indifferently: "I only know about Buddhism, but I want to come, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, the merit of cultivation is nothing more than accumulating virtue and doing good, I don't know if the living Buddha thinks so?" This is a truth that no one, not even any religion, can refute.
There may be thousands of ways to practice, but the core of true religion is inseparable from the four words of accumulating virtue and doing good.
Saving the dead and helping the injured is to accumulate virtue and do good, being kind and giving is accumulating virtue and doing good, killing demons and demons is accumulating virtue and doing good, life and death flesh and bones are accumulating virtue and doing good, and sacrificing one's life to feed tigers and cutting meat to feed eagles is also accumulating virtue and doing good.
Accumulate virtue can do good, and do good can accumulate virtue, one and two, two and one. The Living Buddha Tsoqin nodded deeply and said that there was no objection to this: "Luo Busang has a straightforward personality and has many difficult points to understand the Buddhist scriptures, so the road to reading the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha is difficult. He was an iron-roded lama and urged the monks to be diligent and courageous, and naturally he also had a share of his merits. It's a pity that borrowing others to cultivate one's own body is a little slower. Rob Sando is in the temple, there is not much time to enter the world to practice, and there are fewer opportunities to accumulate virtue and do good. Xiao Feng said indifferently: "Can the Living Buddha know the cause of Luo Busang's death?" The Living Buddha of Tsoqin nodded and said: "Although I am not sure, it is inferred from the current situation that it should be the Jinyi guard of the imperial court who assassinated Luo Busang." Lu Bing, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "Why is the Living Buddha so inferred? As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I promise that I will never give such an order! The Living Buddha Tsoqin smiled miserably, took out a cloth bag from his body, opened the cloth bag, and inside was a broken waist card.
It's a small sign carved in ivory with the words "Engraving" on it
"Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei...... No". In the part before the number of numbers, a piece was missing, and it looked like the stubble was smashed by a heavy object.
Lu Bing took it and was silent for a while. Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows, meaning, really? The corners of Lu Bing's mouth twitched, meaning, really.
Seeing that Lu Bing didn't speak, Jiajing's heart also sank, the waist card of Jinyiwei was made of rare material and fine carving, and it was extremely difficult to imitate it.
This is because the Jinyi Guard is the emperor's personal personal guard, and each Jinyi Guard has the opportunity to get close to the emperor, so the waist card, waist knife, and clothes must have strong anti-counterfeiting, and cards are set up at all levels.
When everyone was stunned, Xiao Feng suddenly said: "Lord Lu, what will happen if Jinyiwei's waist card is lost?" Lu Bing sighed: "The Jinyi Wei waist card is as heavy as life, the card is in the person, and the card is lost." If the brand is lost and cannot be recovered, commit suicide and apologize. Xiao Feng understood, this is an ID card that cannot be lost, once lost, it must be invalidated to avoid others from using it.
It's just that this way of invalidating is too tragic. However, Xiao Feng also knows that these rules are for those small flags, up to 100 households.
If Qianhu loses the brand, this rule may not be so resolute. Not to mention Lu Bing, it is estimated that Lu Bing just loses a piece every day, that is, a re-issuance, and will never do anything to apologize for his crimes.
Of course, whoever dares to take Lu Bing's brand to swagger and deceive is also a long life, because Lu Bing's face is known to everyone who is a brocade guard, and he can't pretend to be at all.
Even Lu Yi and Xiao Feng are sure that it is impossible for them to commit suicide because they lost the brand. Rules never control the people who make and enforce them.
Even they won't admit that they lost the brand, and the one in their hands is the original.
Whoever stole the waist card, don't use it. Once you dare to use it fraudulently, once it is discovered, you will first hack the person to death, and then destroy the brand, and then say that the other party's brand is fake, and there will be no proof of death.
Xiao Feng didn't have the heart to speculate on the cattiness inside Jinyiwei, but frowned and said, "In other words, the owner of this brand should be dead." Lu Bing nodded: "It should be so, it's just that the number of the brand has been destroyed, I don't know whose it is, and I don't know how long it has been lost." Xiao Feng looked at the Living Buddha of Cuoqin: "Living Buddha, the waist card is real, but the number has been destroyed, doesn't the Living Buddha think it's a bit too coincidental?" The Living Buddha of Tsoqin nodded and said: "Originally, it was a bit of a coincidence, but we also saw some ivory fragments at the scene, Lord Xiao took a look, this is the iron rod held by Luo Busan." The Living Buddha opened the cloth bag placed beside him and took out a heavy iron rod from it, Xiao Feng walked over, picked it up and looked at it, and understood what Tsoqin meant.
"What the Living Buddha means is that Luo Busang and Jinyiwei fought, and Jinyiwei killed Luo Busang, but Luo Busan's iron rod hit Jinyiwei, just breaking this waist card." Tsoqin Living Buddha nodded: "Otherwise, how could Jinyiwei lose his life-threatening waist card." It must have been that he was not lightly injured, and he did not notice that the waist card was broken and fell to the ground. It is estimated that when he finds out, when he returns, Robsang's body and waist card have been taken away by the passing caravan, and he can only return in vain. Xiao Tianshi, apart from this explanation, do you have a more reasonable explanation? Xiao Feng smiled bitterly: "Such a thick iron rod is a bit too coincidental to break such a small piece of the engraved number." The Living Buddha of Tsoqin said in a deep voice: "The sky net is magnificent and sparse but not leaky, there is a providence in the underworld, and there are many things in the world. Xiao Feng took the jade pendant and made two strokes on the iron rod, and his frowning brows gradually unfolded.
"Living Buddha, do you know why this waist card is smashed like this?" Tsoqin Living Buddha was stunned: "Listen to Xiao Tianshi's intentions, is this deliberately smashed?" Why? Xiao Feng smiled: "This brand is not big, if it is smashed too much, don't say whether Lord Lu admits it or not, I'm afraid that the living Buddha will not recognize this is the brand of Jinyiwei, right?" The Living Buddha of Cuoqin nodded speechlessly, Lu Bing saw this brand every day, even if it was only half left, Lu Bing could see the truth and falsehood.
But the monks in the Tibetan area have never seen the brand of Jinyiwei, if they really smash half of it, and the three words of Jinyiwei are incomplete, they may not be able to think of Jinyiwei's body.
"But if it is smashed too little, the number can still be seen, then the Beizhen Fusi of Jinyiwei has a strict file, and you will know whose waist card this is, whether this person is alive, and how long he has been dead. If this person has been dead for a long time, then there will naturally be a loophole in the fact that Rob Sang died at the hands of Jinyiwei, which is also what the person who did not want to happen. Therefore, he had to smash this piece more accurately in order to achieve the purpose of framing Jinyiwei. The Living Buddha of Cuoqin frowned and said, "When the Heavenly Master said it, he still thinks that this brand was smashed on purpose, not by chance. Xiao Feng nodded and said, "Because I just took Luo Busang's iron rod, my current kung fu, I believe that there are very few people in the Jinyi Guard who can beat me." But the weight of this iron rod is so heavy, even if I use it, it is very difficult to use it. Unless you use it every day, you can use it accurately. The Living Buddha of Tsoqin didn't understand what Xiao Feng meant: "Luo Busang uses this iron rod every day, so it's not strange that he used the iron rod to break the brand." Xiao Feng nodded and said, "If it is really Luo Busan's broken brand, then with his kung fu, I can't think of anyone in the Jinyi Guard who can kill him alone." If a group of brocade guards besieged him, such a big battle would have caused a mess on the scene, and I'm sure you've already checked the scene. Tsoqin Living Buddha was silent for a moment: "It seems that there should be only one person who fights with Luo Busang. Xiao Feng picked up the jade pendant again: "So, I don't believe that Luo Busang was killed by Jinyiwei." I also don't believe that this jade pendant was smashed with an iron rod. If such a thick iron rod is smashed into it, no matter from any angle, the brand must have broken at least half of it, not in this shape. Living Buddha, I ask a professional to take a look, how is this brand broken, okay? ”
