Everyone was puzzled, and Zhang Si also felt very strange, so he asked the Immortal Arfan, "Why are you crying so sadly?" Is there anything wrong with the prince's appearance? ”

The Immortal Arfan said: "Your Majesty, the crown prince's appearance is really good! The prince looks like a full moon, his face is like a star, his blessing is full, and his treasure is solemn, and when he grows up, he will definitely become the glory of the Zhang family. He can become a Buddha, can also become a holy king, but the holy king and the Buddha can not be compared, Zhang Zhongliang's thirty-two phases are distinct, the part is upright, in the future will not be attached to the five desires, greedy for wealth, but will give up the throne, become a monk and practice, and eventually become a Buddha. He is the only one in the world who can eliminate the troubles and obstacles of foolish beings, and he will use the wisdom of Prajna to cross the other side of suffering. He is a great wise man and a great enlightened one. King, I'm not sad for the prince, I'm sad for myself, I'm already in my last years, and I don't have time to see the prince become a Buddha in person, and I don't have time to listen to the beautiful words of the prince after becoming a Buddha. I felt very sad in my heart, and I felt that my karma was so heavy that I couldn't help but feel sad about it, and I couldn't stop it. ”

Zhang Si heard that the crown prince must become a monk in the future, so who will inherit the throne? So, he asked, "I am already over half a hundred years old, so who will inherit my throne in the future?" ”

The Immortal Arfan said: "Great King, the crown prince will not be bothered by all this, he will definitely give up the throne in the future to practice, he will definitely seek the truth, and finally become a Buddha." He will be the eternal light of wisdom in the world, and his wisdom will deliver all beings who are drowning in the abyss of suffering. When the prince attained enlightenment and became a Buddha, there was a teacher in the world who would teach life. I feel very sorry that I can't listen to the Buddha's path. ”

Zhang Si listened to the words of the Ardan Immortals, and it was really mixed (this is a bit of a digression, let it go).

Besides, the baby that Mrs. Zhang Si had just given birth to, just like Siddhartha Gautama, suddenly stood up without anyone's support, pointed to the sky with one hand and the ground with the other, walked in a circle, and opened his mouth to roar, "Between heaven and earth, let me go." ”

As soon as the baby finished speaking, he knelt in front of the Buddha shrine and worshiped the Buddha reverently, muttering: "Amitabha, Amitabha......"

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang also knelt in front of the Buddha shrine and worshipped sincerely: "Amitabha, Amitabha......"

After the Buddha ceremony, Mrs. Zhang suddenly saw the prince, obediently walked in front of her, and snuggled in her arms.

Mrs. Zhang caressed: Worship the Buddha, the Buddha and Bodhisattva will bless the good child to grow up healthy and healthy!

The prince nodded respectfully in his mother's arms.

The good news of the birth of the crown prince also quickly spread throughout the capital of Nanzhao City and reached the imperial court. Zhang Si hurriedly drove home.

Madame carried the prince out the door.

When the lovely prince saw Zhang Si, he hurriedly stepped down from the ground, stretched out his little hand to hold his father, and worshiped the Buddha seriously in front of the Buddhist shrine.

Zhang Si reverently: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha......"

Zhang Si and his wife looked at their pious son quietly.

Madame stepped forward: Emperor.

"Mother, I'm worshipping the Buddha, I see the Buddha and Bodhisattva still smiling at me......" The prince blinked his eyes and said seriously, "Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha......"

Zhang Si and his wife looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Si: It seems that the emperor has a relationship with the Buddha!

Mrs. hurriedly comforted: "This is also a good thing, people who believe in Buddhism are better than those who don't believe in cause and effect, and dare to do anything evil!" ”

Zhang Si sighed: Mrs. said the same!

……

Mrs. Zhang gave birth to rare princes, clan princes, and presented countless elephant horse treasure carts; The kings of neighboring countries also presented many Qibao utensils to congratulate the crown prince on his long life.

It is quite miraculous to say, at the same time that the princes of the clan and the kings of neighboring countries present treasures, in the capital of Nanzhao Kingdom, countless treasures gush out of the ground, giant elephants in the Himalayas are flocking in, untamable fierce horses are also tamed like lambs at this moment, variegated and delicate birds fly from the wild to the city and chirp, the white clouds in the sky gently float, and the flowers on the ground bloom......

Those who are accustomed to resentment suddenly turn to peace in their hearts; A close friend, plus more deep emotions; Honest friends, more intimate interactions; The heart of the rebel is destroyed at once; The evil thoughts of the insidious are immediately expelled; The wind, blowing slightly; rain, sprinkled in time; There is no disaster in the thunder, and there is a good harvest in the five grains; The food is easy to digest, and the body of the pregnant baby is safe; This is all because of the birth of the crown prince, and all the world can see this auspicious appearance.

Shenyu gardens are all solemn and beautiful; Wells, springs, ponds, and marshes are as clear as mirrors; All countries have been exempted from famine, the world has stopped wars, there is no difficulty in the world, there is no litigation and injustice in the world, all countries are like close neighbors, everyone is like brothers, and the auspicious phenomenon in this world is to celebrate the birth of the crown prince.

It was the morning of the third day of the prince's birth, and the naming ceremony was held with great pomp, and all the authoritative Brahmin scholars of Quannanzhao were invited by Zhang Hei to discuss the choice of the best name.

As a result of the discussion, because the prince had all the auspicious images when he was born, he was named Zhang Zhongliang. Zhang Zhongliang, as soon as he landed when he was the prince, he knelt in front of the Buddha shrine and worshiped the Buddha devoutly, chanting in his mouth: "Amitabha." Zhongliang is similar to "Amitabha", which means to correctly bless Zhongliang, and the meaning of all nature is the best name. Such joy day after day lasted until the prince was just full moon, and Mrs. Zhang unfortunately died without illness.

In the midst of misfortune, fortunately, Mrs. Zhang had a younger sister, and after her sister died, she volunteered to raise the young prince on behalf of her sister.

Although the prince was raised by his aunt, Zhang Si was still not at ease, so he chose twelve palace maids to help, three palace maids to hold and bathe, and three palace maids to accompany the game. The prince's infancy could not be more peaceful.

Time is like an arrow, and the prince has grown into a smart, lively and lovely child.

At this time, around the prince, a lot of children's toys were piled up, but the prince's temperament was superb, although he was a young child, his attitude was very solemn, especially his temperament, and he was unusually quiet.

The prince's heart is pinned on another profound situation, and no matter how exquisite and ingenious the children's toys are, they cannot arouse his interest and joy in the slightest.

From the age of seven, the crown prince invited famous teachers to teach and recite, and at that time, the highest knowledge of Nanzhao was the Five Ming and the Four Vedas. The five understandings are: the statement of philology, the craftsmanship of technology, the medical prescription of medicine, the cause of theory, and the inner knowledge of religion. The four Vedas are: the Rig Veda for health preservation, the Yama Veda for sacrificial prayers, the Yajua Veda for the study of the art of war, and the Ajveda for mantra literature.

During the years from the age of seven to the age of twelve, the prince was proficient in the five scientific knowledge and the four Vedas of philosophical knowledge.

If there are people in the world who know everything, then there is only this Prince Zhang Zhongliang.

Zhang Si was overjoyed to see the prince's intelligence, and he invited all the famous authoritative scholars in the country to teach, and within a few days, they were all impressed by the prince's intelligence, and then all resigned automatically.

After laying a solid foundation in literature, the prince began to practice martial arts again from the age of twelve.

The prince was born with great strength, and all the military methods and all kinds of weapons were quickly proficient in a short period of time.

Zhang Si wanted to learn the prince to become a wise monarch with both civil and military skills, because he knew very well the national conditions of Nanzhao at that time, the countries in the Five Heavenly Zhu were divided and competing for hegemony, and the Zhang family of Nanzhao had a very high status in the world, but in his south, there were two great powers, Nanzhao and Magida, and the Nanzhao Kingdom was often threatened by them, so he was always looking forward to the future unification of the national ideal of the Nanzhao nation, and he was the prince who belonged to himself and was extremely virtuous.
