”Your Majesty, are you still awake?” We still have to travel tomorrow. ” Rong'er asked in surprise.
Xuan Ye slowly sat down at the table and sighed softly. ”The words that the shop assistant has said today have made it difficult for me to sleep!”
”Your Majesty, chenqie wanted to ask. Could it be that the late emperor is really still alive?” Rong'er asked softly.
Xuan Ye bitterly smiled. ”I also hope that this is true, but some of what the shop assistant said is also true. There is a secret court story that royal grandmother told me when I was 18 years old.”
”Oh? Can you tell Chenqie? ” Rong'er asked softly.
Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and smiled. ”Sit down. This Emperor came over to talk to you.”
Rong'er poured a cup of tea for Xuan Ye and sat beside him, quietly listening.
As Xuan Ye recalled, he recounted: ”When I was eighteen years old, my royal grandmother told me about the last years of Emperor Ama's life. Back then, when the filial empress passed away, Emperor Ama was filled with grief, and because the Qing army had just entered the city, all sorts of conflicts between Man-Han Meng and the Eight Banner officials had been raging in her heart. Emperor Ama and my royal grandmother both respected the Buddha and often invited some monks to enter the palace to recite their scriptures. As you know, Sakyamuni was the founder of Buddhism. He was the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Capiro, but at the age of twenty-nine, he ignored the advice of his father and left his wife. He became a monk, eventually creating Buddhism and achieving the greatest perfection. This is the story of the Emperor Amara who, compared to Sakyamuni, abandoned the throne and entered the empty gate. Emperor Ama, who was already physically and emotionally exhausted, finally made up his mind to go out, and under the auspices of Insigna, the late Emperor shaved. ”
”Huh?” Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye in shock. ”Emperor Xian shaved his head?”
”That's right, Huang Ama really did shave, and the Niningzhi also gave Huang Ama a nickname, which is exactly what this shop assistant said today, 'Xing Chi'. However, this is only one of the reasons. Later on, when High Monk Yulin Tong Xiu learned of this, she rushed back to the capital, where she was a disciple of Yulin Tong, who was extremely annoyed by Huang Ma's decision to send out his family. Yulin Tong was bestowed the title of 'Imperial Advisor' by Emperor Ama, so he listened to Emperor Ama's words, saying that not only was Emperor Ama not following the heavens, but was also a heaven-defying action. Xuan Ye heaved a heavy sigh. ”So I think that the news of Emperor Amaa's death must have come from the monks who saw Emperor Amaa's shaving. They only knew that Emperor Amaa had shaven himself but did not know that he had given up. After all, the time of Emperor Amaa's death was too close to the time of his shaving. ”Since Huang Ama died at the age of twenty-four, who would believe that the Son of Heaven died at such a young age? We are already thirty years old, so the young Emperor must have entered an empty door. The rumors among the people must be getting more and more intense …”
”Then what does Your Majesty plan to do now?” Do you want to severely punish those who spread rumors to correct the name of the late emperor? ” Rong'er raised his head to look at Xuan Ye.
Xuan Ye got up and paced back and forth inside the house. He looked up at the ceiling, smiled lightly and shook his head, ”Your name? What was his real name? Hadn't the name of the empress been much better now? The people do not believe that Huang Ama is dead. They believe that he has become a Buddha and has become an immortal protecting the Great Qing. ” Xuan Ye looked at Rong'er and chuckled. ”Ever since dinner, Zhen has been thinking about this question. Since the commoners had such beautiful expectations for Huang'ma, why didn't I fulfill them? I will not stop these rumors, and I will even help this one! ”
”Helping the rumor?” Rong'er looked at Xuan Ye, puzzled.
”I want to reward Zhenhai Temple, to reward it greatly, and to make it my royal temple. Do you think that Huang Ama is really in that temple?” Xuan Ye walked to the window and looked at the moon in the sky. He whispered, ”I want to let Emperor Ama of the temple cast. I believe that Emperor Ama has become a Buddha. ”He's looking at me, looking at Daqing, and protecting Daqing. I believe …”
Rong'er walked lightly behind Xuan Ye and embraced him. He whispered, ”Right, the late emperor has already become a Buddha. He is the Buddha, the emperor, the concubine, and the Buddha in the hearts of all the commoners!”
A few days later, Xuan Ye arrived at the top of Mount Wutai, informed the local officials, and set up the imperial chariot. Shanxi Patrol Minister Mursai, Investigator Kurka rushed to the court, the Emperor visited the five mountains in person, the five monasteries were shocked, and Xuan Ye went to the south platform, east platform, north platform, middle platform, west stage, and personally went to the Temple of Ching Hai, and finally chose the Great Feng Temple of the Sea, and the Great Sea Temple of Zhenhai, with Zhang Jiajia, as the Imperial Grand Imperial Scholar, which gave the world the illusion that the Emperor had found the temple of the sea before the emperor, making the rumours even more intense.
Wu Taishan's mountain was covered with pine trees and cypress, and the fragrance of buddhism lingered in the air. This caused Rong'er, who came with her, to have a great peace in his heart. Here, everything seemed to have gone empty, causing her, who had always been at peace with everything, to feel calmer inside …
Note: There is an original historical point of view of Yuetong, that is, ”the theory of” Shunzhi Zongguo ”. I believe in orthodox history and died of smallpox, for the following reasons:
1) Many historical records point to this point, including the memoirs of Yu Lin Tongxiu and Tang Ruo Wang, which speak of the death of Shunzhi.
2) It was an era of feudalism, a rumor about emperors coming to power. Wasn't it easy for emperors to keep their mouths shut? But why did they allow this rumor to spread from the Great Qing Dynasty all the way to the present? This attracted Yue Tong's opinion.
3) Yue Tong's point of view: Kang Xi is the driving force behind this rumor.
Reason:
If Shunzhi really did become famous, then Kang Xi would go to visit him in an extremely low-key manner, and not let everyone know about it. This was not good for the safety of Shunzhi, but Kang Xi would swagger out every time, so Kang Xi was not afraid of anyone knowing that he had arrived at Wutai Mountain.
What does the feudal ruling class use to control the minds of the people? We all know about history: Buddhism. Kangxi's first visit to Wutai Mountain was twenty-two years of Kangxi, and after the victory of Sanfan, it was possible that he had only gone to Wutai Mountain to fulfill his wish for the filial village. We know that the filial village is very faithful to Buddha, but the two years of filial manor should no longer be that good, because the previous year, Kangxi's first tour of the east should have been conducted by someone close to them, and from an emotional perspective, the filial village should be yearning to return to its former home. It was possible that Xuan Ye had unexpectedly heard the rumors about the people. After all, the matter of the orthodontic shaving was true, and the true history didn't avoid it, so it was quite possible that some monks would only see the shaving and not the stored hair. After all, the shaving happened two months later and Shunzhi died, so it was very close by, so it was quite normal for the people to have rumors about it. After all, to the wise and intelligent Kang Xi, this rumor should have been able to be very well utilized by the ruling class. For a feudal society like the Emperor who gave up his throne to become a powerful Buddha, just like Shakyamuni, he would definitely be blessed by the heavens. Therefore, the heavens would also protect the heavens …
As such, a young emperor was able to rule over a country with ease. And just like that, the news had spread to today … Yue Tong personally believed that Kang Xi must have added fuel to the fire from this rumor, and had done a great deal …
