Yi Bingshui remembered that Princess Gaoyang was the No. 17 daughter of Tang Taizong, who was about the same age as Bian Ji, and was especially loved by Taizong, so she was arrogant and unbridled.She married the youngest wife of the famous Prime Minister Fang Xuanling.Because of Princess Gaoyang's favor, Fang Yi'ai was especially favored by Emperor Taizong, far more than other sons-in-law.

Once, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai went hunting in the countryside with a large number of followers.At that time, the monastery where Bian Ji lived happened to be near the hunting ground.Princess Gaoyang went to the temple to visit and rest during hunting, and she was fascinated by his demeanor immediately after seeing Bianji.During the conversation, I saw this stalwart and suave young monk with elegant speech and extensive knowledge, which made me even more fond of him.So he immediately distributed and moved his luxurious bedding to the temple to lay it out, and invited the debate machine to have a drink with a feast.In addition, two women were sent to serve Fang Yiai to rest elsewhere.Due to the princess's despotic power, Fang Yiai dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. The defense was confused for a while, and he kept dealing with the princess.That night, Bianji slept with the princess in the same room.From then on, it was hard to get back, and the two of them passed each other.The clothes, treasures, and money that the princess gave to Bianji in private are worth hundreds of millions.

But Princess Gaoyang's lust cannot be satisfied with a single debate.After that, she successively had an affair with monk Zhixu and Huihong, Taoist Li Huang and Gaoyi.In terms of material and power, she is also insatiable.As soon as Fang Xuanling died, she encouraged Fang Yiai and her elder brother Fang Yizhi to separate and break up the property, and set up their own family. In turn, she falsely accused Taizong of Fang Yizhi's disobedience of etiquette.Emperor Taizong found out the truth and severely reprimanded Princess Gaoyang, and his love for her became less severe from then on.Princess Gao Yang didn't reflect on her mistakes, but felt resentful and went further into lawlessness, thus attracting the attention of law enforcement officials.The censor discovered the ambiguous relationship between Princess Gaoyang and Bianji, and searched Bianji's residence under the pretext of impeachment, and found the golden pillow that the princess gave Bianji.In the face of severe punishment, the defense machine confessed the truth about having an affair with Princess Gaoyang and receiving gifts from the princess.Taizong was very furious, and ordered Bianji to be cut in half, and more than ten slaves were killed at the same time.Bian Ji was about 22 years old after Fang Xuanling died in July 648nd year of Zhenguan (23) and before Tang Taizong died in May 30rd year of Zhenguan.But this game seems to have got the age wrong, but I don’t know what the Amaterasu god wants to do, no matter, since it’s here, let’s resign ourselves to fate.

Princess Gao Yang didn't know that Yi Bingshui had spotted her, and she didn't understand what the two were talking about.Seeing that Yi Bingshui is a handsome and extraordinary young man, he smiled at him.Yi Bingshui only felt that the flowers were blooming, and the beauty was suddenly born, and thought: I am not a man, if I were a man, just this smile, I am afraid that I will really be seduced.No wonder "Bian Ji" became a monk and was still fascinated by love.

Bianji was disturbed by Yi Bingshui's repeated revelations, and seeing Gao Yang smiling coquettishly at Yi Bingshui, he felt a little jealous.I was at a loss for a while.

Yi Bingshui said with a smile: "Monk, is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?" Seeing that Yi Bingshui spoke straightforwardly and very interestingly, Princess Gao Yang cast her eyes on Yang Yue's face without waiting for a chance to speak. He smiled and said: "Naturally, I am happy and forget to return." Turning around, imitating Yi Bingshui's tone, he said to Bian Ji, "Monk, why don't you bring me some tea?"

Bian Ji hesitated for a moment, said "please", took out the tea set from the room, and led the two of them to sit down in the pavilion in the courtyard surrounded by trees and flowers.The lingering sound of Buddha, the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the fragrant tea from the clear spring are indeed an elegant and refined enjoyment.

Bian Ji put a stove by his side, took water from the well, and made tea when the water boiled.Making tea is not uncommon for Yi Bingshui, but it can be said to be very "avant-garde" for people at that time.The ancients usually ate tea by boiling it.Moreover, the tea leaves of the ancients were different from those of the present, scattered tea and group tea.Loose tea is similar to modern day tea.Tuancha is made through seven procedures of "picking, steaming, pounding, patting, roasting, wearing, and storing".Tuancha is more expensive, and generally Baiminjia only uses loose tea.The best tuancha is very expensive, and only dignitaries can afford it.

The dragon and phoenix tea ball used by Bianji is called "white milk".The production is delicate, like jade in the raw material, and the dragon pattern is exquisite. It is a high-quality dragon tea, produced in Fujian, and it is a respectful product for the imperial court.How Bianji can have this tea is naturally thanks to Princess Gaoyang.Yi Bingshui's Xiguan tea group has already been called "Miao".Princess Gao Yang was very proud, and said with a smile: "This tea is wonderful, and the way the monk pours it is even better."

Wash his arms before making tea, Yi Bingshui saw Bian Ji's way of pouring tea, and he knew that he was a master of Taoism.I thought: This monk really has some skills, even the way he pours tea is so chic and calm, revealing the beauty of elegance and handsomeness everywhere, compared with the tea ceremony of Meijiao Niang in modern teahouses, it has a different style.Smile without answering now, watch carefully.

Yi Bingshui has learned the tea ceremony, and knows that the technique of making tea includes three elements: the amount of tea leaves, the temperature and temperature of brewing tea.

There is no uniform standard for how much tea leaves to use each time when making tea, but it depends on the type of tea leaves, the size of the tea set, and the drinking habits of consumers.There are many kinds of tea leaves, different tea types, and different dosages.If brewing ordinary red and green tea, put about 3 grams of dry tea in each cup, add 150-200 ml of boiling water; if drinking Pu'er tea, put 5-10 grams in each cup.Oolong tea is the most used tea, and the amount of each input is 1/2-2/3 of the teapot.

For high-grade green tea, especially all kinds of famous teas with delicate buds and leaves, it should not be brewed with boiling water at 100 degrees. Generally, it is better to brew at about 80 degrees (refers to boiling water and then cooling it), so that the brewed tea soup must be green and bright. The taste is fresh and refreshing, and the tea vitamin C is less damaged.To brew all kinds of scented tea, black tea, and medium and low-grade green tea, you should brew them in boiling water at 100 degrees. If the water temperature is low, the permeability will be poor, the active ingredients in the tea will be less leached, and the tea taste will be weak.When brewing oolong tea, Puer tea and Tuocha, the amount of tea used each time is relatively large, and because the tea leaves are thick and old, they must be brewed with 100-degree boiling water.Sometimes, in order to maintain and increase the water temperature, it is necessary to scald the tea set with boiling water before brewing, and pour boiling water outside the pot after brewing.

Brewing methods of different teas

Yi Bingshui also knows how to brew tea. Generally, as long as you have equipment, tea and water, you can drink it after brewing with boiling water.However, it is not easy to bring out the inherent color, aroma and taste of tea and brew it well. It can only be achieved by applying different brewing techniques and methods according to the different characteristics of tea.

Nice way of debating!

Bianji grinds white milk into fine foam, puts it into a pot, and pours boiling water straight down.The powdered tea is broken up, rolled up, gathers and floats on the surface of the water, the water bubbles up, and turns into a blooming peony in an instant, and it takes half a cup to die.And the water vapor rises, turning into a Buddha statue and disappearing.Yi Bingshui was dumbfounded. She had only read about this kind of tea-sharing skill in books, but she didn't expect to see a spectacle today, so she couldn't help but be amazed.The so-called "short paper running obliquely to make grass, clear windows and fine milk to divide tea", the skill of dividing tea was the most popular among scholar-bureaucrats in Song Dynasty, but it was rare in Tang Dynasty.The tea foam turns into flowers, like a kaleidoscope, transforming into shapes, which is amazing.Yi Bingshui couldn't help screaming in his heart, "It's a pity that the art of tea distribution has been lost since Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stopped the Dragon and Phoenix Tea Group."

Seeing Yi Bingshui's admiration, Bianji was very proud, he glanced at Princess Gaoyang and said "please".Although the tea is very fragrant and pure, but Yi Bingshui is used to drinking the loose tea of ​​later generations, so he can't appreciate the fermented tea balls.

After the first tea, Bianji asked Yi Bingshui: "I don't know your name?" Yi Bingshui shook his head and smiled: "We meet by chance and make friends with our hearts. Why bother to ask the name. I will call the monk a monk, a monk. Wouldn't it be more elegant to call me a son."

Princess Gao Yang also applauded: "You two, a monk and a young master, what should I call you?" Yi Bingshui glanced at her and said with a smile: "You are naturally called 'cute'."

Princess Gao Yang didn't know what a crush was, but she could still read what a woman meant.

Seeing that Yi Bingshui recognized that she was a woman, Princess Gao Yang asked slightly surprised: "My lord, why do you think that I am a woman?"

Yi Bingshui said with a smile: "I am afraid that the beauty is unparalleled in the world, and the fragrance of orchids is no match for men."

Princess Gaoyang saw that Yi Bingshui was handsome and handsome, like a jewel beside him, radiant and beautiful, such a handsome young man praised himself so bluntly for his beauty, she was very happy, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "My young master is really very elegant." Conversation Ji said, "The monk is out of the ordinary." Bian Ji saw that he was beaten again and again in front of Princess Gao Yang, he couldn't help but secretly get angry, and he wanted to compete with Yi Bingshui.

Princess Gaoyang said: "Elegant people, why don't the three of you and I make friends with each other through poetry, so as to help the elegance."

When she heard that she was going to write a poem, Yi Bingshui couldn't help but secretly frowned, thinking: If it's wrong, I'm also a person who often hangs around in "" and I can write something easily.When it comes to writing poetry, especially the ancient metrical poems, since "Shen Meiyao" wrote four tones and eight diseases in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the emphasis on mediocrity is too annoying and makes people headache.However, Tang poetry was the heyday of regulated poetry. If you really let yourself do regulated poetry, let alone yourself, you are a talented Chinese, and I am afraid it will be very difficult.

Seeing Yi Bingshui frowning, Bianji thought that Yi Bingshui was timid, and thought that with his literary talent, he would not lose to this kid, so he strongly agreed.

Yi Bingshui saw that Bianji was eager to try, and knew that Bianji wanted to show his face in front of Princess Gaoyang.I thought to myself: you are a monk who does not talk about scriptures and recites Buddhism, but learns from some scholars to write poems and essays.I, Yi Bingshui, may not be able to compare with you in memorizing scriptures, but monks are better than poetry, even if I don’t know how to write poetry, there are thousands of years of ancients who have already prepared poems for me.Let you be a flower monk and not do your job properly, today I must beat your arrogance.Smiling slightly at the moment, it was a promise.

Since the Book of Songs, the rhythm and rhyme of ancient poetry were not strict at first, but since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Shen Yue, Xie Tiao and others created the "Yongming style" and used the four-tone rhyme in their poems to obtain the so-called "four-tone rhyme". "Eight Diseases of Sound", and the mediocre and mediocre confrontation of melody and melody, only then did the later melody poetry come into being.In the history of literature, it is called "modern style poetry" or "modern style poetry", while the free poetry style before Tang Dynasty is called "ancient style poetry".

Shen Yue is also what Yi Bingshui called "Shen's beautiful waist". It is said that this person's waist is very beautiful. Compared with Pan An's beautiful beard, since his beautiful body is now sick and old, it can be seen that Shen Dacai's waist is indeed very beautiful.With Bai Juju's beautiful concubine Xiaoman's waist, one male and one female have been passed down for thousands of years.

The three of them formed horns, Princess Gao Yang looked at the two people on the left and right, and saw one who looked like Pan'an, and the other who was more beautiful than Wei Jie, their eyes were blurred, and their hearts fluctuated.On the face, he was very romantic, and said: "Based on today's situation, let's see who can write poems faster." Yang Yue and Bian Ji nodded in agreement.

Yi Bingshui was thinking about which song to use in this situation.Thousands of years of ancient poetry, it is really hard to find poetry in the right place.I was thinking about it, and within a moment, Bian Ji indicated that it was done.Seeing that he already had a poem, Yi Bingshui had no choice but to find a poem at random. He had an idea and changed it. He only used rhymes and rewritten the real words. It turned out to be good, so he immediately said that he had it.Seeing that the two of them had already obtained the poem, Princess Gao Yang spread her hands and said with a smile, "Quickly, let's talk about it first and listen to it."

Yi Bingshui motioned to Bianji to invite first, but Bianji was not polite, and chanted: "The sun in the mountain temple is already gone, sit in the pavilion and listen to Zen, the clear stream cleanses the dusty heart, and the Buddha is in front of the karma." Putting on the appearance of a romantic talent, he turned to Gao Yang The princess glanced sideways, with a look of color on her face.

Yi Bingshui couldn't help but praise in his heart: The monk really has two brushes in poetry. "Clean stream washes the heart of the dust, and the Buddha's karma is saved." If you don't know the filth between him and Princess Gaoyang, you may listen to this poem and think that the monk is really a person who is out of the world.It's just that now, you monk Hua is not saving "karma" but "marriage".

Thinking of this, Yi Bingshui smiled slightly and said, "Monk, it really is a good poem."

Princess Gaoyang also clapped her hands and applauded: "The mountain temple, the pavilion, listening to Zen, and the Buddha are very suitable for the situation." She turned her head and said to Yi Bingshui: "Young master, here comes your poem."

Yi Bingshui flicked his hands, shook his head and chanted: "Wushan clouds and rains entered the meditation room, and the fence was deeply in love. The monk was killed on the execution ground, and Changge was a crying beauty."

Gao Yang was taken aback for a moment, and the monk Bianji yelled and stood up.

Yi Bingshui looked at Monk Bianji and said, "I am saving your life. Be careful of thieves, don't leave any jade pillows."

Yi Bingshui remembered that in the last years of Tang Zhenguan, he caught a thief on Chang'an Street.Although this incident was insignificant, the stolen goods seized were extraordinary. It was a luxurious jade pillow inlaid with gold and silver, gorgeous and eye-catching for women, which was definitely not something ordinary people used.After severe interrogation, the thief confessed that the jade pillow was stolen from the room of a monk in Hongfu Temple, and this monk was Monk Bianji.

If the thief stole the incense burner or stationery, no one would suspect it, but the luxurious and gorgeous female jade pillow has nothing to do with the eminent monk.Yushitai immediately summoned the defense machine to inquire.At first, Bian Ji had a tough attitude and refused to tell the truth, but under clever and strict interrogation, he finally couldn't hide it, and confessed that it was something that Princess Gao Yang personally rewarded him.Since the matter is related to Tang Taizong's beloved daughter Princess Gaoyang, the problem is not simple.After an official investigation, they soon found out that shortly after Princess Gaoyang married Fang Xuanling's son Fang Yiai, she had a close relationship with Bianji, and it had lasted for eight or nine years.

The princess was intoxicated in the happiness of a woman, her beautiful face exuded a rosy flush without rouge, and her eyes shone with gorgeous luster.Although this is an unforgivable affair between a married woman and a hater who violates the rules of women, for Princess Gaoyang, it is the first love in her life, and it is the joy of youth that makes her body and mind vivid and exciting. love.Because it is an ulterior love affair, the fire of love is even more intense.After continuing the tryst, Bian Ji felt more troubled than happy. If the matter was exposed, he was afraid that it would affect his academic ambitions, which made him very distressed.However, once meeting the princess, the enthusiasm of the beautiful female Bodhisattva will make him drunk physically and mentally. For this reason, he would rather suffer the torture of hell.Afterwards, the psychological contradiction made him miserable.

The princess handed the jade pillow to Bianji, looked at the man she loved with tears in her eyes and said: "Really, this is just a temporary patience. If I can't meet again, I really can't bear it. Treat this pillow as me, hug it every night!" Unexpectedly, the jade pillow has become a proof of adultery.Yu Shigong's memorial was sent to Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Taizong was furious, gritted his teeth, and immediately issued an imperial edict to have Bianji cut in half.Cutting in half means placing a naked sinner on a large wooden board and chopping him into two pieces from the waist. This is probably the most miserable death penalty in the world.

The execution ground was set at the intersection of the West Market in Chang'an, where there was an old willow tree.The onlookers heard that this time they could see the rare execution by half, and they were all extremely excited.What's more, the sinner is a Buddha hater who is usually arrogant and arrogant. He is regarded as a high hater when he is around 30 years old.This arouses their excitement even more like Chinese New Year.At that time, Buddhism was mainly based on Mahayana, and it belonged only to the intellectual class and was part of the noble culture.For ordinary people, it is too elegant and incomprehensible.In order to prosper their business, keep their family safe or cure their diseases, ordinary people in the market place rely on Taoism or Taoism to mix strange things like witchcraft.People with high status have tragic endings, and they often applaud to vent their usual grievances.During the execution of the defense machine, the surging crowd kept roaring, teasing, and laughing. The soldiers who served as the guards of the execution ground almost broke their throats and were busy rectifying order.The talented young and learned monk Bianji, who was expected by Xuanzang, Daoxuan and other great monks in the Mahayana Buddhist circle, suffered the indescribable suffering of hell under the scolding and ridicule of the crowd, and died in the screams .
