Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 39 Debating verses and fighting methods Zhong Cuigong felt the previous cause and issued an edict to release the untouchables (1)
Wen Jue was also in a straight khaki gown and a bright red cassock, Xu Bu went down the steps and sat cross-legged opposite Liu Molin.He is not ethereal, but probably has good maintenance skills. He has thick eyebrows, white beard and ruddy complexion, and he is quite fairy-like.He nodded slightly to Liu Molin and put his palms together: "Since the layman knows that if he wants to participate in the three vehicles, he must go to the six roots first, so he dares to ask: What is the method of no eyes?" Habitat!" Someone in the crowd cheered loudly: "Good!"

"How is it without ears?"

"Don't teach the Qiang flute to scare the willows, but don't play the flute to provoke the phoenix!"

"How is the noseless method?"

"Bluegrass does not occupy the air of a king, and day lily does not distinguish the fragrance of a daughter."

"How is the tongueless method?"

"Fortunately, I have never plowed into a black prison, why did you spit out green lotus?"

"How is the law of incapacity?"

"I'm used to be unclean and play Xizi, and I'm going to be a little actor in Hengchen!"

"So—how is it unlawful?"

"It's just for the love to become a small calamity, but because there is no hindrance to the Lingtai!" Under Wen Jue's barrage of questioning, Liu Molin looked around and didn't care. He is suave and charming.Yongzheng was originally full of hatred for this Tanhualang who "has ruined my reputation", but now he has a heart of love for talents, and he secretly thinks that this person is Dongfang Manqian, a stream of Dongfang Shuo, styled Manqian, a writer of the Western Han Dynasty , good at rhetoric, humorous and funny.Just as he was thinking wildly, Liu Molin smiled and said, "You don't have to be embarrassed, I said it just now, it's just for fun. I'm a smart person, I don't have the same knowledge as a fool, and I don't fight with monks—the victory is not martial, and the defeat is enough for the world shame!"

"The layman is so wild." Kong Ling opened his eyes, staring at Liu Molin, and asked, "How can the layman be smart, and how can the monk be stupid?" Seeing that Wen Jue couldn't beat Liu Molin, he came out to help.Liu Molin said: "Great monk, have you read "Chuan Deng Lu"? In the past, the fifth patriarch Hongren lived the world with cassocks, and among the five hundred disciples, he must choose a blunt man to spread the Buddhadharma. Therefore, the Golden Lotus Dharma Realm is not a place for wise people to set foot in. What is it called?" 'Dumb'? Idiot too!" After saying that, he laughed out loud!
Kong Ling was furious all of a sudden, his face turned blue, yellow, and blood red for a while, and he clapped his hands together to say something, but it was a six-character mantra: "... well... well... ba..." His eyes were fixed on Liu Molin.Liu Molin was still smiling at first, but his face suddenly changed when he smiled, as if all the blood in his body was drained at once, and he groaned with a pale face and collapsed down motionless!
The crowd was in an uproar immediately, Wang Wenshao, Yin Jishan and several other Jinshi of the same year rushed forward, helping the pulse, touching the nose, pinching the person, when they were helping Liu Molin, how could there be any vitality?Everyone suddenly became a mess.Yin Jishan then scolded: "Monk! Is this the behavior of a monk?" Wang Wenshao said: "Please cut off his bald donkey with the sword of the Son of Heaven!" Dare to practice sorcery under the sky, and poison the court officials, the crime is unforgivable, and should be punished severely by the Tianfu!" At this time, people knew that the emperor had already arrived, and they knelt down.Yongzheng walked up to the unconscious Liu Molin, looked at him, and asked Kong Ling, who was sitting with his eyes closed, "Did you put him to death?"

"Amitabha!"

Without raising his eyelids, Kong Ling clasped his hands together and replied, "Lay Liu blasphemed the Three Treasures and committed crimes for himself, and has nothing to do with the poor monk!" Yongzheng smiled coldly, and said, "Desecrating the Three Treasures Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha are the "Three Treasures" of the Buddhist family." ——Original Note , the crime does not lead to death. You have violated the law of the country by causing him to die. Do you know that?" Kong Ling opened his eyes and glanced at Yongzheng, smiled, and said, "Let the lord do what he wants!"

"Very good!" Yongzheng ordered with a sneer, "Come here, set up the oil cauldron and blow up this stinky skin!"

"tie!"

The eunuchs hurriedly agreed, but they couldn't find the "oil cauldron" that could blow people up. In the end, the imperial dining room sent a large cauldron for killing pigs. Burn up.In an instant, green smoke swirled around the oily flowers, accompanied by the sound of crackling and sparks under the pot, all the people were so frightened that everyone was ashen-colored.Seeing that Yongzheng was going to issue an order to kill, Zhang Tingyu knelt down on his knees with a pale face and said:
"Long live! The slave wants to persuade!"

"Uh, uh?"

"The country governs the world with Confucianism and Taoism. Wansui respects Buddhism and Taoism, and recruits monks to pray in the palace. I originally disagreed, and Wansui knew it. But Wansui originally prayed for the Empress Dowager, which is filial piety, so I have to encourage By your order..."

"Well, what else?"

"The demon monk's execution of the law and the death of the imperial court ordered the official to have violated the "Great Qing Law".

Although he didn't say much, two of them are very reasonable: you shouldn't have messed with these things in the palace, and if you commit a crime, you should be dealt with according to the law. If you fry Kong Ling in public, you will inevitably attract more ridicule Criticism.Yongzheng was about to speak while pondering, Kong Ling had already stood up, walked around the boiling oil pan, and said with a smile: "Master Wenjue, your Zen school is based on extinction, can you stand this fried fruit pan?" Jue was so flustered that he was confused, and seeing Kong Ling calmly wanted to debate the Dharma sect with him, he clasped his hands together and hurriedly said: "The great monk has committed a crime! Greed, hatred, ignorance and release of the three precepts, you have already violated the precepts and entered reincarnation—— Why don't you rescue Liu Tanhua soon?"

"This idea may not blow up the poor monk. It's the word 'ang' you said, the poor monk has indeed violated the precept." Kong Ling said, sticking his arm into the oil!Everyone was startled, and dozens of people stared at Kong Ling silently.I saw him muttering sutras in his mouth, paddling gently with his hands in the boiling oil, groping for something, and suddenly lifted out a green lotus with leaves and roots from the pot with both hands!Yongzheng was so dazzled by the sight that he opened his mouth wide and could not utter a word.Kong Ling smiled and held the lotus, and said: "If you can't take the green lotus from the fire, what 'treasure' can Buddhists and monks have? This is bestowed by the Lord, thank you!"

Yongzheng's face was pale, he clapped his hands together for a long time, and said, "Master is really a Living Buddha, I...in order to test Master's mana, I had no choice but to do this. Please the Living Buddha show mercy, this Liu Molin is a useful talent..."

"What's so difficult about this?" Kong Ling laughed loudly, "Bring a bowl of clear water!" A young eunuch Fei also seemed to run away, filled a bowl full of clear water with a jade bowl, and handed it to Kong Ling, who took Qinglian into her mouth. In his arms, he walked and recited, still repeating "Padmi..." several times, then took a sip of water and sprayed it on Liu Molin's head, saying verses:

Mo, mo, mo!Don't be angry!Tanhua is not fake, and the monk is not real.Know Lingtai Road, but with a little heart.Duh - the mouse shrinks its head to avoid the cat!

He compounded his palms and recited the six-character mantra, and Liu Molin sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes as if he had just woken up, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with me?"

For a moment, everyone regained their composure, and each secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Yongzheng said with a smile: "You went to the gate of hell once, and the master invited you back, so you still refuse to convert to my Buddha?" Liu Molin recognized it was Yongzheng, turned over and kowtowed, but said in his mouth: " Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor, so what ability does Buddhism have? This morning, I was in a hurry to enter the palace. I didn’t eat. I was always weak. I was basking in the sun. Home!" Seeing his stubborn disobedience, Yongzheng appreciated him, and said with a smile, "Do you still want to try the power of the six-character mantra again?"

"What six-character mantra?" Liu Molin turned his face and smiled at Kong Ling, "I just heard you say 'I'll coax you'!"

Everyone immediately roared with laughter, even Kong Ling Wenjue couldn't help laughing so hard.Yong Zheng laughed so hard that he coughed again and again, and said, "Okay, okay! This is a real celebrity! Tomorrow, you will work as an errand at the military plane, and help forward the memorial and draft the imperial edict!"

So from now on, Liu Molin handed over his job as an editor at the Imperial Academy, and went directly to the Military Aircraft Office to handle clerical matters.Yongzheng also liked that he was funny and wise, and he knew all kinds of books, so he called for advisers from time to time.In my spare time, I often take Fang Bao, Ma Qi, Long Kedo and Liu Molin with me, playing chess, discussing poetry, fishing, or painting and calligraphy. go.Liu Molin waited carefully with all his energy.Just at this time, Nian Gengyao moved the Xingyuan from Ganzhou to defend Xining, and the military affairs were complicated. There were more than a dozen pieces of pieces every day from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Finance, and Xingyuan Zhizuo, all of which were discussed by Yun Xiangyun. Send Liu Molin to the Hall of Mental Cultivation or consult Zhang Tingyu.Yongzheng was not afraid of being annoying, and he must read every fold.Therefore, Liu Molin was vacillating between the emperor's prime minister and the prince without touching his feet.Among the six films, people have the sharpest eyes. Seeing that this is an upstart that is about to leap, which one should not "introduce the ground"?Because no matter on duty or not, Liu Molin is always surrounded by a group of decent officials, greetings, matters, visits, thanks...everything is there, and all the stars pay their respects all day long.Although Liu Molin felt tired, he was also satisfied.But Su Shunqing didn't get rid of her lowly status, it was a matter of official admonition, and she was afraid of Xu Jun and others to bite her, so she didn't dare to handle the marriage for a while.

Look at the arrival of May and the scorching summer sun.This May is also known as the "poisonous month", and there are many taboos in Pepsi.Temple visits in various temples in the capital sent sparse and burnt mounts to the benefactor Tanyue, exposed beds and mats in the palace, dismantled curtains and bedding, pasted celestial master amulets, hung pictures of Zhong Kui, made musk purses, soaked realgar wine, steamed millet, and made cattail swords Peng whip, picking herbs to make willow leaf tea, sewing longevity thread, and buying anti-evil pills, people are very busy.Although Liu Molin didn't believe these things, he was also a little disturbed after that day. When he saw the servants tossing about these things, he just smiled and ignored them.On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Molin, the star of the day, put on his clothes and went to court as soon as he got up. Last night, he received Nian Gengyao's military report and asked for [-] sets of jackets for the soldiers of the Western Expedition. Didn't have time to handle it.According to Yongzheng's strict decree, the time has already been delayed, so I have to go early to make up the paperwork - I went to Xihuamen to hand over the sign, and when I heard that Zhang Tingyu had just entered, Liu Molin breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Bu went to the computer room to write the ticket. .This is something that can be done in a short time. After Liu Molin finished writing, the eunuch Sura on duty at the Military Aircraft Office sent it to the household department immediately. Gao Wuyong, the eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came in and said with a smile: "Master Liu, the emperor told you to go in."

"Call me?" Liu Molin was startled, and quickly got up to agree, "Yes!——Is it just calling me?" Gao Wuyong said: "There are also Thirteenth and Fourteenth Lords. The other princes, Baylor and Beizi, were not passed on by me I don't know. The emperor is going to give a feast to all the officials, and post calligraphy and paintings in Guangsheng Tower. Whose calligraphy is better, and there will be rewards!" Liu Molin felt relieved, followed Gao Wuyong in, and saw Zhang Tingyu standing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation Beckon under the eaves.Liu Molin hurriedly went forward to pay his respects, and asked, "Has the emperor woke up?"

Zhang Tingyu looked very happy, and said: "The emperor has been up for half an hour. Today is the solemn festival. We must first go to Qin'an Hall, Temple of Heaven, Tianqiong Hall, Zhongcui Palace, and Jianfu Palace to burn incense. Then we will give a banquet in Guangsheng Tower , three elder brothers, Qing Beizi, Baobeile, and Fubeile, accompanied the driver, and now the priests are gone. The rest of the princes, Beizi Beile, have already been passed on to others, and they are waiting in Guangsheng Building." Liu Molin couldn't figure it out, and tentatively Asked: "Zhang Zhongtang, I came here on order, I don't know what errand Wansui has summoned, can you let me know?" Zhang Tingyu smiled and said: "Wanzai wrote a few banners, and asked Shixiong to choose a good one. There are hundreds of calligraphy and painting in Guangsheng Building today, none of them belong to the name, nor does the one of Long Live Lord. It is asked by the officials to compare which one is the best. You can handle the errands of posting calligraphy and painting in Guang Sheng Building, brother can't scan Long Live Lord's joy!"

Liu Molin was stunned for a moment, Yongzheng's handwriting was unspoken, but the hundreds of words were not named, and Yongzheng's words were mixed in the middle, who can be sure that he will be the first in the list?In case of losing the ranking, or in the second or third place, what should the person who won the first place do with himself?Thinking about it, Liu Molin's head was already dripping with sweat, but after all, he was quick-witted, and after thinking about it for a while, he had an idea, and said with a smile: "Long live is common in Shangshufang and Liubu Jiuqing, needless to say. I'm just afraid Some people down below don’t know how to get up and down, and make random comments. I’m thinking about this matter, and it’s absolutely impossible to mark it on the paper, or put another sheet in a prominent place. Only pass out the sentence written by Wanzai, and the next person will know what the master wrote. It's easy to handle—this kind of thing has to be passed on to an eunuch, and it must be fast!" Zhang Tingyu bowed his head to think about it, and he had no choice but to do so, and said: "Then it's a no-nonsense thing to do—I think it's better if everyone speaks out. "Liu Molin said: "Everyone chooses the word Long Live, which obviously shows that we have tampered with it, which is not good. But there are a few unlucky people who criticize it, but it seems true. Besides, they all know what's inside. If you have master’s calligraphy, you won’t be talking nonsense.” As they spoke, the three of them entered the hall, and they saw more than a dozen calligraphy and paintings on rice paper lined up on a long ebony table inlaid with dragons inside, but they were all selected lines from Tang poems:

Xinsong hates not being tall

The evil bamboo should be chopped off ten thousand poles

Lush grass
Desert solitary smoke straight

The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky

Tian Ruo Qing Tian Yi Lao

I want to cause the dream of Wu Yue

Peach Blossom Pond Water can be seen in the following poems in turn: Du Fu's "Will Go to Chengdu Thatched Cottage", Wen Tingyun's "Wild Willow Branches", Wang Wei's "Envoy to the Fortress", Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine", Li He's "Golden and Copper Immortals Saying Han Song", Li Bai "Sleepwalking Tianmu Yin Farewell" and "Gift to Wang Lun".

Liu Molin sighed: "My lord, this word has indeed reached the point where it has reached the point of perfection, I'm afraid the pen is too rigid, and some soft and charming literati may not catch the eye - they are all good, how do I choose?" After careful consideration for a long time, He chose a picture of "Two Orioles Singing in Green Willows, A Line of Egrets Going to the Blue Sky", and chose two pairs of "Peach Blossom Lake" and asked Zhang Tingyu: "Zhongtang, choose the best from the best, I'm afraid these two pairs are the best. What do you think?" ?”

"Well, in terms of writing power, these two couplets are indeed the best." Zhang Tingyu held his chin and thought about it, "As far as the charm is concerned, I think I should add two more - 'Da Mo' and 'Xin Song'. Long live left and right After a while, I will recommend two more copies to be judged by the master." Liu Molin neatly placed the four pairs of words in a conspicuous place, copied the small characters and handed them to Gao Wuyong: "Hurry up and deliver it, maybe someone will pay for your letter Son!"

Gao Wuyong smiled and agreed again and again, as soon as he left the hall, he saw Xingnian Li Dequan and his guards De Lengtai, Suo Lun, Liu Tiecheng, Zhang Wuge, a large group of people came down from Yongzheng, and hurriedly turned sideways to pass.Zhang Tingyu and Liu Molin had already knelt down to receive him.Yongzheng looks very good today, wearing a tasseled crown of ten thousand silk and raw silk on his head, a blue gauze gown covered with azurite gauze embroidered with foreign gold and gold dragon coat, wearing blue satin Liangli soap boots, he came in with great interest, and took a look at Zhang Tingyu , but said to Liu Molin: "Tanhualang, have you read my words? Which one suits your taste?" Liu Molin hurriedly apologized with a smile: "The servant and Zhang Zhongtang are in a difficult situation! They are all picky-when is the master?" I'm happy, and I also reward the slave with a few words, which is the good fortune of the slave's ancestors' accumulated virtues! ——I chose these four pairs with Zhang Zhongtang for half a day, and I have to ask the emperor to make a decision before sending them to Guangshenglou for hanging." "Okay!" Yongzheng said Looking at the four pairs of characters hanging in the middle, he nodded thoughtfully, picked out two pairs of "Peach Blossom Lake Water" and "Damo Guyanzhi", and said: "Too many words is not good, just these two words. ——Just now I said rewarding characters, and you can choose a pair of the rest. Ting Yu, what characters do you want, I will write them for you with the pen and ink ready."

"Thank you, master." Zhang Tingyu hurriedly kowtowed, and said, "I have long wanted to ask for my master's calligraphy, but I dare not open it. I recently renovated the gate of the house, and I beg my master to give me a pair of couplets to brighten the lintel!" Yongzheng nodded and laughed. "It's true that I'm not in the mood to play with words. These big cases are over, and I feel a little relieved. Okay, I'll give you a pair of couplets!" As he spoke, he brushed and pondered for a while, and printed the letter on the rice paper. wrote:
