Your princess' lover is a monk

The monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty is well known as the prototype of the protagonist of "Journey to the West", but not everyone is familiar with Xuanzang's apprentices.The monk named Bianji became famous because although he escaped into Buddhism, he was not subject to the precepts and had a lover, and this lover was a princess.

In the last years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the love affair between Princess Gaoyang and Bianji became a big news at that time. Princess Gaoyang was the No.17 daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty. She was lively in nature and beautiful.According to history books, she is "intelligent in nature and highly favored." Princess Gaoyang, who was favored by Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, was betrothed to the second wife of Prime Minister Fang Xuanling at the age of marriage.

Fang Xuanling was a great hero in Lingyan Pavilion. Tang Taizong married Princess Gaoyang to his son out of love for Fang Xuanling and hoped that Princess Gaoyang could marry well.It's a pity that Fang Yiai is far from Fang Xuanling in terms of conduct and knowledge.Marrying a man who is ignorant and only possesses brute strength, Princess Gao Yang is very disappointed in her marriage, and there is no love between her and her husband.After seeing clearly that her marriage was nothing more than a political marriage, Princess Gao Yang was furious and stopped accepting her husband.

The lonely Princess Gaoyang met Monk Bianji while hunting in the territory.That year, Princess Fang was only 16 years old, and Bian Ji was only 2 years old.How the two young people fell in love, there is no conclusive evidence in the history books, but the two are really good friends.However, one is a monk and the other is a married princess, when they are happy, they need to be very cautious, for this reason, Princess Gaoyang moved her bedding to Bianji's meditation room, so that it is convenient for dating.What's funny is that the son-in-law actually guards the door for them, guarding the door of the meditation room.In order to thank her son-in-law, Princess Gao Yang specially gave Fang Yiai two young and beautiful maids.

This absurdity ended in a theft. One day, a thief was caught on Chang'an Avenue.When inspecting his stolen goods, Tolerance found a very special piece of stolen goods. It was a gorgeous and luxurious jade pillow inlaid with gold and silver ornaments for women. At first glance, it was not something ordinary people could use. After torture, the thief admitted that The pillow was stolen from the room of a monk in Hongfu Temple.

After investigation, it was found that this room belonged to Bianji. At that time, Bianji was engaged in the work of translating scriptures in Hongfu Temple. The origin of Bianji has been lost, but from the end of the volume of "Da Tang Western Regions", we can see that In the self-introduction written by Bian Ji, he said that he inherited the blood of a hermit from a distant ancestor. Since he was a child, he wanted to save the people from suffering. Therefore, he devoted himself to learning and became a monk at the age of 15.

That being the case, Bian Ji should love Buddhism and devote himself to Buddha. As for why he had an affair with the princess, let's just think it was a trick of fate.Because of a pillow, an unknown love affair surfaced.If the thief stole an incense burner or other utensils, people might not suspect it, but the luxurious and gorgeous jade pillow for women he stole is too eye-catching.

There were women's paraphernalia in the monk's room, so Yushitai immediately summoned Bianji for questioning. At first Bianji refused to plead guilty, but under torture, he still confessed to Princess Gaoyang.So Tang Gaozong was furious and cut him in half in the downtown area. That year, Bian Ji was only 29 years old.

In this shocking love that has lasted for six years, Princess Gaoyang has always been in the active position. From some marginal historical materials, it can be seen that Bianji is devoted to Buddha. He is very contradictory between the princess and Buddhism. This pillow, maybe Bian Ji and Princess Gao Yang gradually cut off contact with each other over time.

However, history does not allow assumptions. After Bianji was executed, dozens of servants around Princess Gaoyang were also beheaded. Although Tang Taizong did not punish the princess and Fang Yiai, he ordered the princess to be banned from entering the palace indefinitely.Princess Gao Yang, who lost her father's favor and lost her lover, fell into grief and almost went crazy.

Half a year later, Tang Taizong passed away, and Tang Gaozong succeeded to the throne. Princess Gaoyang had no one to restrain her, so she unscrupulously accepted other monks as heads, making the harem dirty. Not only that, but she also planned to launch a palace coup.Unfortunately, in the end she was betrayed by the Fang family, and Princess Gao Yang went to ruin. It was only four years since Bian Ji was executed.

If it weren't for this bad relationship with Princess Gaoyang, Bianji would have become an eminent monk like Xuanzang and would be famous forever.On the day Xuanzang came back from the Buddhist scriptures, he loaded a lot of scriptures with model texts. After he asked Tang Taizong for approval, he recruited the most educated monks in monasteries all over the country to translate these scriptures. Among them, Bianji was the youngest, but he was also a literary talent. The best one is highly valued by Xuanzang. The "Da Tang Western Regions" handed down by later generations was dictated by Xuanzang and written by Bianji. Among them, the translations of volume 51 to volume [-] of "Yogi's Dilun" became Bianji Last word.

It was really a bad relationship that ruined two people for no reason.
