Chapter 244: The Vision Emerges, the Saint Appears! A vision from the sky, a rainbow for thousands of miles! Enlightenment on the ground, sanctification on the ground
Above the sky, the glow blooms.
With the sound of a bell, countless cranes appeared in the sky, spreading their wings and flying, flashing with colorful light on their bodies.
The cranes shuttle out between the auspicious clouds, with the fairy spirit, the colorful glow is pervasive, the spiritual soil is steaming, and the scenery is like a poetic painting.
The Rainbow Bridge is condensing little by little, and the auspicious clouds around it are overlapping, criss-crossed, and even the bright galaxy is revealed in the farther distance.
All kinds of bizarre scenes are intertwined to form an incredible picture.
The glow shines through the auspicious clouds and falls on the earth, full of colors and colorful like glass.
Looking up at the sky, countless people present were stunned by this strange sight.
Especially those Confucian scholars, they faintly realized in their hearts what this thing was.
"The vision of heaven and earth is the vision of heaven and earth!"
The Confucian scholars shouted incredulously: "Is there another saint in this heaven and earth?" ”
No matter what generation of saints they are, the moment they are born or sanctified, they are recorded to be accompanied by strange visions, and it is heaven and earth that justify their names!
The legendary Taoist saint Lao Tzu, riding the green ox west out of Guguan, is the auspicious clouds rising out of thin air, implying the birth of the saint.
Confucian saint Confucius, on the day of sanctification, the sky appeared unicorn beast, stepping on auspicious clouds, spitting out a jade ruler to Confucius, is the legendary stationery, with this stationery, in order to teach 3,000 disciples, cultivate 72 sages!
The poet saint Li Bai, known as the Tai Bai Star, his mother dreamed of Chang Gengxing before giving birth to Li Bai, "Bai Zhisheng, his mother dreamed of Chang Gengxing, because of his fate." "On the day of sanctification, look up at the blue sky, the stars fall to the earth, and thousands of stars fall like raindrops that night
The sage must be born with a vision, not only a saint, the birth of the eloquent emperor is also accompanied by a vision, Liu Bang was born with lightning and thunder, and his father saw a dragon lying next to his mother.
Yang Jian was born, there is a dragon lying on the roof, and there is purple qi coming three thousand miles from the east.
Zhu Yuanzhang was born, and the house was full of red light.
When Liu Che was born, his mother dreamed that the sun was falling into her womb
These are all recorded in the book, and the ancients were convinced!
But they've only seen it in books before. But for now.
The reality is happening right in front of my eyes, and there is such a vision in the sky!!
"Oh my God, how can there be such a strange sight in the sky!"
"It's so beautiful, how can there be such a long rainbow"
"What's going on??"
The people and officials present all looked up at this scene and exclaimed.
"Venerable Master, you are well-informed, what is going on?"
A Confucian student walked towards Kong Maoxue.
"Quiet."
Kong Maoxue's expression was shocked, his eyes kept staring at Li Xiao and never moved away, and he said softly: "The vision is out, the saint is now listening to the holy words!" ”
At this time, he was listening intently to Li Xiao's Confucianism, and he didn't care about anything else, because he seemed to be witnessing the birth of the fourth Confucian in heaven and earth!
Hiss.
The Confucian scholars all gasped.
looked at Li Xiao one after another, at this time, Li Xiao's body, as if there was a Tao and rhyme around his body, like a saint blooming, he was still reading the article:
"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing"
The truth comes out, shocks people's hearts, and touches the heart!
"It can't be."
A Confucian scholar said incredulously: "I am still opposed to him on the front foot, how can he say such a truth in the blink of an eye?" Sanctification on the ground? ”
Becoming a saint is a mountain that Confucian scholars can only look up to in their lives, but they didn't expect to be suddenly reached by the Ming National Teacher in front of them, how can they accept it?
"Amitabha."
A voice came.
All the Confucian scholars looked over and found a monk.
A monk dressed in black stared at the Ming National Master in front of him with burning eyes, and said, "The Buddha said, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, and once enlightened and sanctified, why not."
This person is not Yao Guangxiao, who is it?
Yao Guangxiao was also shocked at this time, he didn't calculate that the person he touched his bones back then turned out to be such a person, and he had become a Confucian saint!
"Are you saying that the national teacher has become a Confucian saint?"
The Confucian scholars asked incredulously.
"Why don't you ask, you see that your Venerable Master already understands, Amitabha."
As he spoke, Yao Guangxiao no longer paid attention to these people, sat cross-legged on the ground, folded his hands, put the Buddha beads in front of his fingers, sat in meditation and listened to the holy words.
After the words fell, those Confucian scholars looked at their respected teacher Kong Maoxue, who was already in a state of madness, kneeling on the ground and listening quietly.
"Listen to the Word!"
The Confucian scholars didn't dare to think about it anymore and knelt down to listen.
After all, at the moment of sanctification, listening to the words of sanctification was of great help to their Confucianism, and they let go of their hostility with Li Xiao, and there was no other thought!
And the vision of heaven and earth is still spreading.
From this moment in the sky, as if shrouded by the fairy world, the aura is creeping!
The rainbow bridge in the sky is growing stronger and stronger, spreading continuously, the galaxy is bright, the rainbow bridge is erected, the auspicious clouds are floating, there is faintly fairy music coming out, and the cranes are flying.
No matter where you are in Beiping City.
Just look up and you'll see a strange sight in the sky.
"Look, what ??? is in the sky?"
"Oh my God, that's beautiful."
"What a big rainbow, is there anything good happening??"
"Mother, the rainbow in the sky is so beautiful!"
"Why is this happening?"
"Miracles, miracles! This is auspicious clouds, Hongqiao, this is a good sign, the coming year will be smooth! ”
The people on the street, at the same time, all stopped, the shopkeeper walked out of the store, and the people at home also walked out of the house to look up at the sky.
"Could it be that something big is going to happen in the world again?"
"It seems like a good thing, such a scene, something good will happen!"
"Or is it that today in Beiping City, a big man was born?"
In ancient times, the appearance of strange scenes in the heavens was a mysterious and unpredictable phenomenon for people, and they would interpret and understand these wonders in their own way, so as to feel the mystery and infinite divine power between heaven and earth.
In a tavern, many students are borrowing alcohol to kill their sorrows.
These days, the students who have come to Peking for thousands of miles to discuss the law have all been closed off one by one after watching Fan Jinzhongju, not knowing the future, and living with wine every day.
Suddenly, a vision of the sky came out, and they also walked out, and then they were shocked.
"It's . Out of the saint!! ”
An out-of-town student was surprised that he had read a lot, and naturally knew more than ordinary people, and had read books about astrology.
It is recorded in the book that the sun is shining brightly and auspicious clouds are everywhere.
This is clearly a vision of the Heavenly Interpretation of the Tao, and it also means that the saint was born!!
"Brother Zhang, what do you mean? Out of what saints? ”
Another out-of-town student asked anxiously.
The student named Zhang Zhan said: "I have seen it in ancient books, and a vision like this must be born only when someone is sanctified!" ”
"What?"
Hearing such news, all the students gasped, and some students around heard it and gathered around.
"To be a saint? Out of what saints? ”
One of the students asked in shock.
There are also many kinds of saints, including poetry saints, word saints, painting saints, literary saints, and Confucian saints.
Everyone pondered in their hearts, the saint of poetry, the saint of words, and the saint of painting must have been directly excluded.
In the Ming Dynasty, these were now in decline
"Could it be that he is a Confucian saint???
The students thought of the current situation in Beiping, where countless Confucian scholars gathered, why? In order to stop the decay of Confucianism and Taoism!
Thinking about it like this, early this morning, the contemporary Confucian, Yan Shenggong Kong Maoxue, took more than 100 Confucian saints to Beiqing University to reason with the Ming National Teacher.
They wore linen and filial piety, and seemed to go with a decisive intention.
"Could it be that the great Confucian Kong Mao went to argue with the great Ming national teacher, and suddenly realized the Tao and became the fourth Confucian saint???
Everyone thought about it for a long time, and a student said what everyone thought in their hearts.
Hearing this, everyone felt a little guilty.
Because early this morning, Kong Maoxue took people to Beiqing University to reason.
Many students also saw that they should have been on the same camp, but they did not go over.
"Apart from Kong Daru, who else can become a Confucian saint?"
A student said ashamedly: "I'm ashamed, Confucius went to die for Confucianism, but we turned a blind eye and didn't hear it."
"Now I am talking about these things, the birth of a saint must be to speak the holy word, move the heavens and the earth, and give birth to a vision, I will go and listen to the holy word soon."
So said one student.
The most important part of the Bagu text is to speak on behalf of the saints, that is, not to have their own thoughts and learn the tone of the saints to speak.
Therefore, these students attach great importance to the holy word, which is more important than Mount Tai.
"Go quickly, Confucius has become holy, he is now in opposition to the national teacher, we can no longer stand idly by."
A student lowered his head, no longer looked at the vision, and ran towards the direction of Beiqing University.
"That's right! I think that now that I am a Confucian saint, how can I let the Confucian saint be humiliated? ”
"Go quickly, I'll go with Brother Zhang."
"I hesitated before, but if Kong Daru really became a saint, he would stand on the side of the saint in whatever he said!!"
The students woke up in shock and ran towards the direction of Beiqing University.
On the way, after the students saw each other asking for understanding, they learned that it was the birth of the saint, and their faces were surprised, how dare they slack off, and they joined the team one after another.
And there is an old saying in China, the layman looks at the lively, and the insider looks at the doorway.
Although hundreds of people didn't understand why these students were so excited, they also joined the team with the idea of watching the excitement.
In this way, this team rolled bigger and bigger, and after a while, it became a long queue, including men, women and children, and it seemed that there were tens of thousands of people, heading towards the direction of Beiqing University
The Guogong Mansion has many eyes and ears, and there are spies everywhere.
When something like this happened, it was naturally the first time to receive the news.
"Princess, Princess"
Zhang Cuicui, who had just learned the news from the spies, hurried over.
Zhu Ningyun was renovating the Yong'an Pavilion in the Guogong Mansion at this time, the highest floor of this tallest building, watching the strange scene in the sky.
The scene was too shocking, the width of the rainbow bridge in the sky, hundreds of zhang wide, was still spreading to both sides, as if it was going to envelop the entire Beiping City.
Obviously it is daytime, and there are countless stars twinkling in the sky above the Hongqiao.
Among them, there is a heroic righteousness rolling, fairy music singing, white clouds, cranes flying, it is rare to see in a thousand years.
"Princess, Princess"
Zhang Cuicui ran over, already out of breath.
She found that Princess Yong'an was quietly watching the vision in the sky, and the pen and paper in her hand were drawing, trying to draw this scene.
By this time, the painting had already been halfway through.
Looking at it, it turned out to be colorful and lifelike.
Over the years, Zhu Ningyun's painting level has risen, not to mention that now Beiping has colored dyes, which can make color paintings more realistic.
"Cuicui, be quiet, be shocked, don't destroy the artistic conception."
Zhu Ningyun's mind is all about painting, sometimes raising her head, sometimes bowing her head.
"Princess, the news is too shocking, Cuicui can't be calm!!"
Zhang Cuicui looked anxious and was almost speechless with excitement.
Seeing this, Zhu Ningyun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, tell me quickly." ”
Zhang Cuicui has been a female official in the Guogong Mansion for many years, managing all the maids up and down, and she is very stable in trouble, and she is no longer the little girl she used to be.
It must not be a trivial matter to make her so gaffe.
Zhang Cuicui said excitedly: "Out of the saint!" Out of the Confucian saint! ”
"What?" Zhu Ningyun was surprised, then looked at the vision in the sky, and suddenly understood something, this was actually the vision of heaven and earth that the saint came out.
"Not good!"
Zhu Ningyun clapped his hands and said anxiously: "Today, the great Confucian Kong Maoxue went to Beiqing University to stop it, and the husband said that he has a way to deal with them, then Kong Maoxue has now become a Confucian saint, that is, a contemporary saint, and the people of the world will definitely follow each other to the death, and I am afraid that the cancellation of the imperial examination and the establishment of the university will not be done."
Zhu Ningyun is so smart, he understands the reason after a little thought.
In recent days, countless Confucian scholars have gathered in the capital, and there are contemporary Confucian Confucian scholars.
Who else can be sanctified?
But she only thinks about Li Xiao, even if she is a saint, the first thing she thinks of is her husband's affairs.
Hearing this, Zhang Cuicui nodded, was stunned, and shook her head again.
The princess obviously misunderstood, and she hurriedly said: "Princess, it is not the one surnamed Kong who is wrong and sanctified. ”
"Huh?"
Zhu Ningyun was slightly startled, and said, "If it's not the great Confucian Kong Maoxue, who can become a saint, is it his student?" It is also possible that enlightenment is not divided between young and old, and it is unthinkable that Kong Maoxue actually taught Confucianism. It's still not good for your husband."
"It is not the students of Kong Maoxue who are sanctified." Zhang Cuicui said.
"Who the hell is that?" Zhu Ningyun said: "You should say it quickly, I'm in a hurry." ”
Zhang Cuicui said: "Become a Confucian saint. It is at the gate of Beiqing University that the Guogong who speaks of Neo-Confucianism, the head of our Yongle Mansion, your husband! ”
"Husband."
Zhu Ningyun was slightly stunned, and then said in great surprise: "Husband??? The husband has become a Confucian saint????? Cuicui, aren't you making fun of me! ”
She never thought that what she heard was actually this answer!
Zhang Cuicui said: "It's true! ”
Zhu Ningyun seemed to have heard some incredible news, her mood was as calm as the waves, and she slowly calmed down, and with countless joys, she muttered to herself: "My husband. Confucianism and sainthood have become saints???? ”
I became the wife of a saint.
Husband, you're too outrageous!!
Hanwangfu, that is, the former Yanwangfu.
At this moment, the news was also quickly received.
in the hall.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was dining with the princess Wei Jiangxue and the prince Zhu Zhanyan.
The next person came and said: "Lord Han, I just received the news that this vision in heaven is caused by the birth of a saint, and the fourth generation of Confucian saints has appeared in my Ming Dynasty. ”
Hearing such news, Princess Wei Jiangxue was shocked and stood on the spot.
As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanyan, the two of them didn't feel anything.
"Oh, it turned out to be a Confucian saint, this king thought it was a good thing, it's really unlucky." Zhu Gaoxu took a bite of the chicken leg and said.
Zhu Zhan, the prince of the Han Dynasty, said dumbfoundedly: "Dad, what is a saint?" ”
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Sage, I just write a lot of great truths in a book that you can't understand, let you memorize them, and infuse your thoughts with him. ”
Thinking of those headache-inducing Confucian books, Zhu Zhanyan stroked his little head and said, "Hey, it's better not to be a saint, wouldn't there be more books to memorize in the future?"
“????”
Princess Wei Jiangxue looked stunned and said in surprise: "Da Ming has produced a contemporary Confucian saint, aren't you shocked at all?" ”
"Nope."
Zhu Gaoxu shook his head, completely uninterested.
Fortunately, we have become the prince now, and no one has forced this king to learn those things, and I can't come out of the saint, and I have no melon in the rain.
Wei Jiangxue looked at the two of them helplessly, raised her forehead and sighed, and said, "I'm afraid that your brother-in-law's reform will fail this time, and the one who becomes a Confucian saint must be the great Confucian Kong Maoxue who is against his brother-in-law." ”
When the subordinate heard this, he hurriedly wanted to explain.
But he heard a bang, the table was slammed, and Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "It turned out to be the old immortal, I knew that I would have slashed him with a knife!" ”
"You're crazy, so rebellious, you're not afraid of being damned!"
Wei Jiangxue hurriedly stood up, covered Zhu Gaoxu's mouth, and then 'bah bah' three times, grabbed Zhu Gaoxu's hand, knocked on the wooden table, and said: "Those who don't know are not to blame, those who don't know are not to blame."
"There's something wrong."
Zhu Gaoxu pushed away his hand and said: "The sky and the earth are big, the brother-in-law is the biggest, the saint also has to give in to the brother-in-law of this king, dare to go against his brother-in-law, this king will cut him now." ”
As he spoke, he was about to leave.
"Lord Wang, you are not allowed to go, Zhan Yu, stop your father!"
Wei Jiangxue said hello.
hugged Zhu Gaoxu by himself, and Zhu Zhanyan also got up and hugged Zhu Gaoxu's thighs.
Dare to kill the saint, Wei Jiangxue didn't dare to think about it.
The prince must not be allowed to do this.
Zhu Gaoxu shouted: "Why don't this king dare, when the emperor's grandfather directly moved Mencius out of the Confucian Temple, the emperor's grandfather was not afraid, is this king still afraid?" ”
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, the subordinate hurriedly interjected and shouted: "Lord Han, it is not Kong Maoxue who has become a Confucian saint, but Lord Li Xiao, the Duke of Yongle. ”
Suddenly, there was silence.
Several of them had their mouths slightly open, and they couldn't believe it.
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to be struck by lightning and was surprised, "What, brother-in-law is holy?" ”
Zhu Zhanyan looked confused: "What? Is my father-in-law sanctified? ”
Princess Wei Jiangxue also let go of her hand: "Lord Wang, aren't you going to cut down the saint?" Go ahead. ”
Zhu Gaoxu smiled: "You woman, you have long hair and short knowledge, can a saint cut it?" This king is afraid of God's damnation! ”
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Suddenly, the two seemed to think of something, and looked at Zhu Zhanyan in unison.
The two said in unison: "Zhu Zhanyan, what did you call your uncle just now?" ”
Zhu Zhanyan rubbed his snot bubbles and said innocently: "Old man." ”
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Zhu Gaoxu: "The children can be taught!" ”
Wei Jiangxue: "."
Imperial Palace, Fengtian Temple.
Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, originally still in the early dynasty, discussing the matter of sending troops.
But suddenly, the sky was full of light and an incredible vision appeared.
Naturally, this early dynasty can't go on.
Zhu Di was the first to rush out and stood at the gate of Fengtian Hall to watch the vision of heaven and earth.
The civil and military officials also walked out one after another, looking at the sky vision, dumbfounded!
"My God, this is a vision of heaven and earth. The glow is glorious, the Hongqiao is thousands of miles, the cranes are flying together, the fairy music is ringing, mixed with the sound of heavenly bells, I have seen such a scene for the first time in my life! ”
"This vision is simply too wonderful, like a miracle, it is given by the gods, this is the blessing of God for my great ming!"
"God bless the Ming, God bless the saints!! I am so bright that such a vision shines in the capital, and this is a great sign of blessing! ”
When the civil and military officials saw the vision in the sky, they spoke one after another, obviously this vision in the sky was so peaceful, it must be a good omen.
"Congratulations to the Holy Lord, ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty!"
The civil and military officials knelt on the ground one after another and said in unison.
"Good! That's a good sign!! ”
Zhu Di was naturally overjoyed, he just proposed to send troops to conscript, and then there was a vision from the sky, how could Zhu Di not like it???
Of course, Zhu Di can't confirm what this vision means.
Instead, he commanded, "What about the ruler of the Qin Heavenly Prison?" Quickly let him come over and explain the vision to me. ”
There is a yamen in the imperial court called Qin Tianjian, and there is the tallest building in the capital called the stargazing platform in the yamen.
The main functions of the Qin Heavenly Prison include the observation of celestial phenomena, the compilation of calendars, the timing of time, the selection of auspicious days, and so on, covering many aspects of national life.
The supervisor is responsible for observing the celestial phenomena, formulating the calendar, observing the celestial phenomena, pushing the calendar, fixing the four hours, and measuring the good fortune and evil.
However, the official position of Si Tian Jian is too small and he is not in the court.
At this time, the supervisor was rushing towards this side, and arrived at the Fengtian Hall half an hour later.
"See the Holy One." The prison is bowing to the Tao.
Zhu Di bowed slightly, and then asked, "What does this vision in the sky mean?" ”
This vision is so large that it can be seen everywhere without the need for a stargazing platform.
Even the supervisor himself had seen this strange phenomenon for the first time.
But fortunately, this kind of vision is recorded in the book, and saints are often born with this kind of vision, and the vision of heaven and earth at this moment seems to be the most terrifying one in thousands of years.
He hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Back to the saint, according to the minister's observation, according to some clues in the ancient books, this vision is very likely to be the vision of the Heavenly Interpretation Dao, how specific, the minister does not dare to be too sure, this vision is too unbelievable, and there has been no record for thousands of years. ”
These people in the Qin Heavenly Prison all speak like fortune tellers, with ambiguity, so as not to lose their heads if they make a mistake.
Zhu Di said: "I didn't ask you what this is, but what it means!" ”
Seeing that he couldn't get mixed up, Jian Zheng touched his sweat and had to reply according to the ancient books: "Back to the saint, the heavenly performance is a sign of the birth of a saint, and it is very likely that he is a saint."
He was extremely nervous in his heart, and if this ancient book was not accurate, his head might be divided, but he didn't dare to make up such a terrifying vision.
The words fell, and there were constant exclamations on the field.
"What. I'm actually a saint? ”
"Come to think of it, there have been countless Confucian students entering Beijing recently, and there are also great Confucian Confucian Mao studies."
"Could it be that Kong Mao learned to become a Confucian saint and attracted visions of heaven and earth?"
The crowd whispered.
I also thought of some of the recent entanglements between the Ming National Teacher and the Confucian students, but I didn't dare to say it explicitly.
These words fell on Zhu Di's ears, which was very unpleasant.
Zhu Di stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the vision in the sky, his eyes puzzled.
I thought in my heart, could it be that I connived at Li Xiao's reform of the imperial examination and Confucianism, causing God to send a vision and give birth to a saint to stop it
If that's the case, then I'm doing something wrong
Zhu Gaochi on the side also frowned, standing beside Zhu Di, he didn't know what to think, and his expression should be very tangled.
At this time, the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Ji Gang come over, Zhu Di saw it, bowed his head slightly, and signaled to say privately, Ji Gang came closer, and said softly:
"Saintly, a vision from heaven gave birth to a Confucian saint, but the Confucian saint is not Kong Maoxue, Kong Maoxue is listening to the holy words at the gate of Beiqing University at this time, and the Confucian saint who was born is. Li Xiao! ”
In this word,
Like thunder!
Zhu Gaochi, who overheard this on the side, gasped, and the whole person was stunned.
And Zhu Di couldn't suppress the shock in his heart, and the sudden joy, and exclaimed: "What! The Confucian saint is Li Xiao???? ”
As soon as this statement came out.
Hundreds of officials are shocked!
