Brocade legend

Chapter 57 Intricate
In the Yuan Dynasty, the Bailian Society was regarded as a rogue, so it was suppressed, and the name of the Bailian Society and all heresy techniques for troubled times were banned.

At this time, Youtan Pudu, a monk of the Bailian sect in Lushanshan Lin Temple in Jiangxi, wrote ten volumes of "Lushan Lianzong Baojian", clarifying the true meaning of the Bailian sect advocated by Ziyuan, and using it to denounce the heresy and evil practices of the Bailian Society at that time.

In the first year of Emperor Wuzong's reign, he was banned again because of the misdeeds of Taoist Bailian in Bailian Hall, Houshan, Jianning Road, Fujian Province.

However, because Youtan Pudu went to Dadu in person and worked hard on the re-education movement, he was allowed to re-educate after Renzong came to the throne.After that, Yingzong Zhizhi was banned from activities three times in two years.

During the Shunzong period, Han Shantong and his son in Luancheng lied that the white lotus bloomed and Maitreya came to the world, and formally established the White Lotus Society. Relying on Buddhism, they made scriptures and talismans and spread them among the people. This is the "red scarf thief".During the reign of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it was banned.

After Ming Zhengde, Bailian Society was created by Luo Qing in the Ming Dynasty. Its purpose is close to the influence of Luojiao of the Southern School of Zen. Maitreya and other gods and Buddhas descended to earth, and took the lost emperor's fetus and daughter back to the vacuum hometown.

Since then, there have been many sects and various names, and the sects do not belong to each other. The leader monopolizes the power, and the father dies and the son succeeds; Fist stick.

Taking a comprehensive look at the White Lotus Sect, in the course of its development, its name has changed repeatedly, its branches have multiplied, and there are many names. However, the teachings, organizations, rituals, and activities of each sect are still similar, so they can be collectively referred to as the White Lotus Sect.

The early White Lotus Sect worshiped Amitabha Buddha, advocated chanting Buddha and upholding the precepts, and stipulated that believers should not kill, steal, commit adultery, lie or drink alcohol.It calls on believers to worship their ancestors and is a secret group of half-monk and half-secular.

Its teachings are simple, and its scriptures are relatively easy to understand.Accepted by the lower class people, it is often used as a tool to organize people to resist oppression.In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the White Lotus Sect organized peasant uprisings many times.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the White Lotus Sect was strictly prohibited.During the years of Hongwu and Yongle, armed riots by Bailian disciples occurred many times in Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shandong and other places, and some of them claimed to be emperors, but they were all suppressed.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were many kinds of folk religions, including Jinchan, Wuwei, Longhua, Wukong, Huanyuan, Yuandun, Hongyang, Maitreya, Jingkong, Dacheng, Sanyang, Hunyuan, Wenxiang, Luodao, etc. Some teach several names.

They are not related to each other, and their teachings and rituals are quite different. The gods they believe in are extremely complicated.

Since the reign of Zhengde, there has been worship of Wusheng Laomu, and the so-called eight-character mantra of "vacuum hometown, Wusheng Laomu".It is said that the inanimate old mother is an ancient Buddha who has no birth and no death in the sky. She wants to save the children of the earth and return to the heaven to avoid catastrophe. This heaven is the vacuum hometown.

Each sect has its own scriptures, called Baojuan.The rulers believed that these different sects were actually the White Lotus Sect, and the people generally called them the White Lotus Sect.

And the White Lotus Sect has always been regarded by the court as a top-notch bandit, and their shadow is indispensable in almost every turmoil.

Therefore, when it comes to the White Lotus Sect, there is a person that Lu Bing cannot ignore.

That person was Li Fuda.

Li Fuda, born in Nao County, Daizhou, Shanxi Province, now Yuanping County, Shanxi Province, is the leader of Maitreya Sect.

In the early years of Zhengde, he organized religious anti-Ming with Wang Liang and Li Yue, and was sentenced to Shandanwei to serve as an army.

He escaped from Shandanwei and changed his name to Li Wu. When he was discovered, he was sent to Shandanwei again.

Later, he fled to Luochuan, Shaanxi, and taught the White Lotus Sect.

He and Shao Jinlu, Hui Qing and others started an incident in Shaanxi.When things failed, he changed his name to Zhang Yin, compiled a genealogy, presented Huang Baishu, and took refuge in Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.

In the early years of Jiajing, he lost millet and donated officials, and served as the commander of Taiyuan Guard in Shanxi.

In the fifth year of Jiajing, he was reported by Xue Liang, the enemy, to Shanxi to inspect Ma Lu, the imperial censor. Guo Xun wrote to Ma Lu, hoping to make the big incident smaller.However, Ma Lu joined forces with Governor Jiang Chao to impeach Guo Xun.

Guo Xun asked Zhang Cong to speak to Emperor Jiajing, and shifted the focus to the ceremony.

Emperor Jiajing ordered Yan Yishou, minister of punishment, Nie Xian, censor of Zuodu, and Tang Mu, minister of Dali Temple, to review the case.

In April of the sixth year of Jiajing, Jin Yiwei arrested Ma Lu and went to Beijing, Li Zhang, Li Yu, Li Yu, and Zhang Lun were all imprisoned.Xue Liang was sentenced to death, and Ma Lu was sent to the frontier.Gui E, Fang Xianfu and others made great contributions in rehabilitating the case, and Li Fuda finally returned to his position as an official.

Just like that, a legendary leader of the Maitreya Sect, a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, unexpectedly became a minister of Ming Dynasty in a grand manner.

Because of this, Lu Bing paid special attention to this guy and checked him out.

Lu Bing handed these materials to Emperor Jiajing at the first time, but Emperor Jiajing looked at it, then smiled and threw it aside, and this serious crime of deceiving the emperor was over...

In the sixth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing used this matter to consolidate the imperial power because of the great ceremony, which Lu Bing could understand.But now that the imperial power is stable, Emperor Jiajing is still unwilling to get rid of Li Fuda—that is, the current Zhang Yin, which makes Lu Bing a little puzzled.

So Lu Bing has been paying attention to Zhang Yin's every move. Now that he is attacked, the bandit leader is actually taught by Maitreya... Does this mean that Zhang Yin has a hand in the underground horse market? If he has his share, then Wuding Marquis Guo Xun ...

Does this mean that Wuding Hou Guoxun was also involved?What about calyx?Fang Xianfu?
This gets involved.

Wudinghou Guoxun, the sixth grandson of Wudinghou Guoying, the founding minister of the early Ming Dynasty.In the third year of Zhengde, he inherited the title of Marquis of Wuding and became the Duke of Yi.

During Zhengde, the town of Guangdong and Guangxi entered the palm of [-] battalions.

Sejong succeeded to the throne and ordered to take charge of the regiment camp. The "Great Ritual" was discussed, guessing the emperor's will, and first helped Zhang Cong, so he was favored and supervised the imperial army.Add to Taishi.

The Guo family, starting from Guo Ying, has been married to the royal family for three generations. They were originally powerful relatives of honored ministers.

When Guo Xun entered the state and joined the grand master, his status and power reached the peak, and he became a powerful and powerful family nobleman.

And calyx.Although he does not have such power and has passed away, his influence is even more different.

Guie, styled Zishi, nicknamed Jianshan, was born in Jinjiang Town, Yujiang County.

In the sixth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Xin Weike was a Jinshi.He has successively served as magistrates of Dantu, Wukang, Cheng'an and other counties. He has been able to correct customs and restrain the powerful in each of his posts, and has made considerable achievements in his political affairs.

In the second year of Jiajing, he was promoted to the head of the Fujian Department of the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Justice.At this time, Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong was troubled because his biological father could not be worshiped by the Taimiao.Gui E advocated that a small shrine should be built on the side of the Taimiao to offer sacrifices, so that Jiajing could win face and better solve the so-called "dominant heir" problem.

Therefore, it was ordered that Gui E be promoted to a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.

In the fourth year of Jiajing, he was promoted to Zhan Shifu and a bachelor, and soon he was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.Soon, he was transferred to Zuo Shilang, then promoted to Minister of Rites, transferred to Minister of Officials, added the title of Prince Taibao, and promoted to Prince Shaobao and Bachelor of Wuyingdian. The rapid promotion is rare in history.In other words, he relied on "discussing etiquette and sudden expensive".

This is a person who has been highly praised by Emperor Jiajing. In August of the eighth year of Jiajing, Gui E asked to retire. In September, he was recalled to Beijing. At one moment, "loyalty, respect and prudence"; at the other, "rope trespass and violation".Guie retired from old age and returned home in December of the ninth year of Jiajing, and soon died of illness in private.

The posthumous title "Wenxiang"... This evaluation is very high.

The records of Yi Zhoushu · posthumous method interpretation are "Jingwei Tiandi said Wen. Cheng Qidao.

Daode Bowen said.Know everything.

Diligent and good at asking Japanese.Feel free to ask.

Kindness and love for the people is called Wen.Hui Yi Chengzheng.

Minmin Huili said Wen.Helpful and courteous.

The title of title given to the people is called Wen.with Tongsheng.

To open up a land with virtue is called Xiang.Take it with righteousness.

The armor is tired and said Xiang.Urgent conquest. "

Therefore, conferring the posthumous title "Wen Xiang" is not only an affirmation of Wen Tao, but also affirmation of Wu Lue. If it is reported that Gui E is actually related to the treason case, wouldn't it directly hit Emperor Jiajing in the face?What's more, China has always respected the dead. If this old case is uncovered, it is hard to say whether it will be hostile to scholars.

And Fang Xianfu is not a good stubble either.

Fang Xianfu, courtesy name Shuxian, was born in Nanhai.In the 18th year of Hongzhi, Fang Xianfu became a Jinshi and served as the magistrate of a certain county in Guangxi.

At that time, Zhu Houzhao was entrusted by Emperor Xiaozong to guard Guangxi. One night he dreamed that he was wearing a white scarf, and he thought it was ominous.

Fang Xianfu then explained: "The king wears a white cloth on his head, which is a sign of becoming an emperor. If a white character is added to the prefix of Wang, isn't it the emperor?"After hearing this, Houzhao was very happy. Soon after Hongzhi died, Houzhao ascended the throne and became Emperor Wuzong, named Zhengde.

Emperor Wuzong thought of Fang Xianfu's love for interpreting dreams in Guangxi, and he was very loyal, so he called Fang Xianfu to Beijing to assist the dynasty.

In the 15th year of Zhengde, one day Fang Xianfu went to the court to meet Emperor Wuzong. Seeing that he was frowning, the emperor asked: Why is the face of the Qing family different from the past?Fang Xianfu replied: Although I don't have to worry about food and clothing at home, I'm afraid that in the future, my descendants will not think about making progress, sitting on the mountain, ruining their families and businesses, and failing to serve the country.I'm thinking about these things!

"Then what should we do?" asked the emperor.

Fang Xianfu said: "If the emperor issued an edict to guarantee or write an instruction: Fang's property will never be sold. If there are buyers and sellers, they will also be beheaded. That's fine.

The emperor agreed, and the imperial pen issued an edict.

Later, Fang Xianfu's descendants abided by the ancestral precepts handed down by the family, worked hard to study hard, supported themselves, and lived in harmony with their neighbors, which became a good story in the village.

After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, in order to make his mother's name justified and become the empress dowager, he wanted to move his mother's spirit into the Taimiao, but for a while there was no one to protect it.

At that time, Huo Tao, a native of Shiwan, served as the Minister of Rites. He knew Jiajing's thoughts well, but he didn't dare to play.

Coincidentally, Fang Xianfu returned to Beijing to take up his post. Huo Tao mentioned this to Fang Xianfu, and Fang Xianfu persuaded him, "Why don't you come to the book to protect this matter?"Huo Tao said: If the emperor is furious when I go to perform, and no one protects me, what should I do?Why don't you write this book, and if anything happens, I can protect you.

Fang Xianfu immediately went to the court to request that Jiajing's mother's spirit be moved into the Taimiao.After hearing this, Jiajing said very happily: No one can match you in terms of intelligence!Then Fang Xianfu was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wuyingdian, and he joined the cabinet to assist the government.

More importantly, he is a student of Wang Shouren, Mr. Yangming, and an important figure in Wang School's theory.
