The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Chapter 101 The Way of University
Monk Baimei left the capital and went to a tree in the suburbs. There was another old monk in white clothes. He was as skinny as a stick and looked like he was about to end his life. He looked older than Monk Baimei, but he had a calm demeanor. He was Monk Baimei's second disciple. .

"Master, has the eldest brother been sent to be reincarnated?"

The white-browed monk nodded: "Your senior brother was too murderous in the past. If I don't come in person this time, evil spirits will come to take revenge, and he will not be able to conceive. Although he has been protected by Dinghui for several generations, his soul will not be damaged." , suffered a calamity and fell, but what’s the point? Killing an enemy, the old hatred is not resolved, and a new hatred has been added. Now that he has entered the womb, there will be no mystery of separation due to his merits, so I sealed his spiritual wisdom , let him live in the palace for a few years like an ordinary child. During this period, other evil spirits will come to peek and test, and you have to protect him secretly. When he is over seven years old, he will wake up and have memories of this life, so that he can protect himself. .”

The old monk bowed and clasped his hands: "Amitabha, this disciple will definitely protect senior brother and grow up safely."

The white-browed monk then said: "By then, it will be time for you to reincarnate. I will use fate to explore your next life. You will be reincarnated in Shandong. After this separation, we will have to wait until a month later to meet again in Mount Emei. You Take care of yourself.”

The old monk had a look of reluctance on his face.

The white-browed monk was a little dissatisfied: "You have followed me in cultivation and have lived under my disciples for several lifetimes. How come you still have the greedy thoughts of ordinary people? If you have such thoughts, you will suffer from 'separation from love'. Remember, remember, a single thought of ignorance will cause endless troubles. Everything has a cause and effect, the cause is the effect, the effect is the cause, and the cause and effect are the same. How have we ever been together? And how have we ever been separated? Gathering and separation are all delusional thoughts. Tathagata goes away and Tathagata comes, and Tathagata does not move!"

The old monk hurriedly recited solemnly: "Amitabha! Disciples, please obey the teachings!"

"A powerful Taoist figure has come to the capital and has entered the Forbidden City. Since ancient times, Taoist priests rarely do good things when they enter the court. All the wise and foolish kings in the past dynasties have committed this foolishness. If they only dreamed about the illusion of immortality, they would That's all. If it stirs up the world and stirs up the wind that destroys Buddhas, it will harm the Dharma body, wisdom and life of all living beings in the world. I just looked at it with my eyes of wisdom, but there is no sign of this, but in the end I must observe it. You are here for you Senior fellow protector, please pay careful attention by the way."

The old monk became energetic and quickly remembered it in his heart.

The white-browed monk then waved his hand to summon the black and white eagles, and flew away in the air. The skinny old monk was left looking quietly in the direction of the Forbidden City, then he closed his eyes and meditated, deep into a state of concentration.

At this time, in the palace, Shi Feiyang was treating Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli was only in his thirties this year, but he was full of problems. The skin on his legs was torn and cracked, and the insides were black and rotten with pus all the way to the bones. Even the leg bones were black. There was also toothache. When it started, it felt like my head had swelled to the size of a wheel, and my eyeballs swelled and hurt. When the pain was so severe that I had to take opium to relieve the pain, I ended up feeling dizzy when I looked at everything.

He often told ministers that he was ill and could not go to court. The ministers said that he was faking and indulged in women in the harem, and they kept writing essays to scold him.

In fact, he was really ill.

Shi Feiyang took the Wuyue Soul-Calming Pill refined by Xu Haiyou of Dapeng Bay. He had tested the efficacy beforehand and dissolved one pill in spring water to clean the wound. The medicine contained the musk produced by Xu Haiyou himself, as well as many other elixirs. As soon as it was taken out, the aroma filled the entire Qianqing Palace, and everyone felt as if they were in a dream when they smelled it.

The medicinal liquid washed away the rotten flesh, and Emperor Wanli felt refreshed. Once all the pain dissipated, Fang wanted to praise him, but he felt itchy on his legs, as if flesh was growing inside the wound.

Shi Feiyang took another one and let him eat it. According to the rules, the emperor could not take medicine of unknown origin casually. He had to let the imperial doctor examine it and then test the medicine on the eunuch. But now Emperor Wanli really believed that this medicine could cure him. I took the elixir of illness without hesitation.

As soon as the elixir enters the stomach, the thick fragrance goes straight to the top of the head, the blood vessels all over the body become smoother, the swelling on the head immediately stops, the teeth no longer hurt, and the fragrance sprays out when breathing and talking.

Smelling such a strong aroma, Shi Feiyang felt that Xu Haiyou was a little too much. The little musk essence had to make it so fragrant. To achieve the medicinal effect, it didn't have to be so excessive.

After taking the elixir orally, Emperor Wanli felt that the itching of the flesh on his legs was getting worse. He looked down and saw that in a moment, some tender flesh had grown. Although he was still unsteady when he stood up and walked, he no longer needed help. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. , full of energy, feeling like I can do it again!
He was established as a prince at the age of six. His teachers were all well-known talents since he was a child, and he received a good imperial education. After ascending the throne at the age of ten, he was gearing up and wanted to do something big. However, the teacher Zhang Juzheng took over the power outside, and the eunuch Feng Bao controlled the harem together with his mother. He could not do anything and was always being punished. rebuke. Ten years later, Zhang Juzheng died. He finally began to take charge of the government and was gearing up for a big fight. As a result, the party struggle in the court intensified.

His teacher Zhang Juzheng relied on tricks to defeat the previous high-gong leader. This time Zhang Juzheng was gone, so he took advantage of the situation to liquidate Zhang Juzheng's party. After that, the others started fighting again. It's not enough for the ministers to just fight each other. Later, there is an invisible hand that unites many important ministers to fight against him...

Emperor Wanli was ill again at this time, and it became more and more serious every year. His legs ached, his teeth ached, and everything hurt when he came up.

So he began to mess around, and officials fought against him. He would not make up for the shortcomings, refused to accept his fate, and would not go to court in peacetime.

But he knew how to govern the country. Although he was in the harem, he focused on two things, one was money and the other was the army. He threw away the memorials of the chief minister of the cabinet casually. He read the memorials of the Ministry of War carefully and then issued instructions. The other was He sent eunuchs to various places to serve as mine supervisors and tax envoys, trying to make money. The ministers tried to persuade him, saying that he was greedy for money, lustful, and competing with the people for profits.

At first, he even called the ministers to tell him, who among the people in the world does not drink? What's wrong with me drinking some wine? I don't want to get drunk. If you say I'm lustful, there aren't many people in my harem, so why should you say I'm lustful? They say I am greedy for money. I am the emperor and am rich all over the world. All the wealth in the world belongs to me. If I am really greedy for money, why don’t I have the houses of everyone who scolds me confiscated...

He refuted one by one, and the ministers refuted one by one. Finally, he became discouraged and stopped arguing. Whatever the ministers said, they could no longer read back.

Later, the conflict intensified. Officials and businessmen from various places colluded to resist taxes, incited civil unrest, and killed the eunuchs he sent to collect taxes... The two sides fought back and forth.

Emperor Wanli now has two purposes: to make money and collect his own internal funds. He can spend it however he wants without being restricted by ministers.

The other is to control the army well, but he doesn't know that the army has also begun to be infiltrated. Ministers continue to convert to Xijizhi, and missionaries are constantly stuffed into the court. The army, all kinds of firearms, from manufacturing to use, are all Westernized. The gunners who operate the artillery must use Xiji people...

Shi Feiyang was not prepared to interfere in how to govern the world. He came here just to cure Emperor Wanli's illness and see if he could cheer up again.

The fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not due to Li Chuang or the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was actually its own internal problems.

Everyone has selfish motives, they all stand in their own position to gain benefits for themselves, and they all want to make better arrangements for their blood relatives. It is very difficult to bring hundreds of millions of selfish people together to form a country and live together for a long time. The ancient Chinese have been studying how to achieve long-term stability and peace for all eternity. They call it "university", which is related to it. In comparison, the others are all "elementary". The Chinese have studied for thousands of years, but in the end they could only extend a unified dynasty to three hundred years.

By studying the talismans left by Huangdi and Dayu, Shi Feiyang understood the way, but did not know the technique. That is to say, he understood the principle, but had not practiced how to do it. At this point, he was very self-aware. , knowing that he is definitely not as good as Emperor Wanli.

In the future, he will go to the Holy Mountain in the Light Realm to create a kingdom of monsters. Although monsters are not as thoughtful as humans, they are more selfish. Humans also talk about being selfless, serving the country and the people, respecting etiquette and obeying the law, while monsters are pure It is the instinct of animals to hunt, eat meat, and devour each other. If you are very hungry, your companions can eat it, some children can eat it, and your spouse can eat it too. There is nothing that cannot be eaten. There are more than a million goblins in Tianwai Shenshan. It is probably more difficult to lead such a large number of goblins to form a huge society than human society.

In the evening, Emperor Wanli held a banquet for him and personally toasted him with wine.

Holding the wine glass, Shi Feiyang thought: "I am not a real dragon, and you are not an emperor. I have the right but no skills, and you have the skills but not the right. We are two and a half, and you work hard to govern the people." Okay, I will establish a demon kingdom in the future and see which one of us can bring peace to the world with the Tao and create peace for all generations!"
