Professionals Zeng Zaobao came as soon as they were called, with a lot of professional tools hung on their waists, causing the guards in front of the palace to check them for a long time, fearing that something inside might be lethal.
Zeng Zaoban came to the living Buddha Tsochen and raised his hands to indicate that he had nothing in his hands and would not take the opportunity to do anything to the waist badge. Then he took the waist badge and looked at it carefully.
As he looked at it, Zeng Zaoban’s brows furrowed: “Living Buddha, ladies and gentlemen, this waist badge was not smashed by this iron rod.” Xiao Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but Living Buddha Tsochen frowned: “This skillful craftsman , why do you think so?" Zeng Zaoban pointed to the broken stubble and talked eloquently: "Living Buddha, ivory is different from jade, its texture is slightly soft. If it is hit hard by an iron rod, its fracture will be neater. And you see With the shape of this iron rod, if any part hits the waist plate, it will not form a gap of this size at this position." Tsochen Rinpoche looked at Zeng Zaoban and gestured to the iron rod with the waist plate, no matter how he gestured, I couldn't find the corresponding attack point, so I couldn't help but become suspicious.
"Then according to what the craftsman said, how did this belt break?" Zeng Zaoban took off a magnifying glass from his waist. This was a by-product of his telescope production, and it happened to come in handy today.
"Look, Living Buddha, the two lines here are very clear when magnified. They are not formed by violent impact, but by huge and slow force! Where the jade is broken, the center is thin and the edge is thick. If it were not for the use of If the carving knife did it deliberately, then it should be crushed with fingers!" Crushed with fingers!
The living Buddha was stunned for a moment, and then understood in his heart. Indeed, before I only thought about smashing it with an iron rod, I never thought about crushing it with my hands.
Now that I think about it, take a closer look. If you imagine the belt card to be a piece of soft mud, then it looks like a piece of it has been pinched off with your fingers!
But this is not ooze, this is ivory! Although ivory is not as hard as jade, it is still an extremely hard thing. Crushing it like clay is such a terrifying hand strength!
Xiao Feng suddenly said: "Have you examined the injuries on Robusang's body? How did he die?" Living Buddha Tsochen said slowly: "The injuries on Robusang's body looked like they were scratched open by the claws of a ferocious beast. I heard Lama Tiebang said that there is Eagle Claw Kung Fu in the Central Plains martial arts. It must be this kind of skill." Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said: "That shouldn't be the Eagle Claw Kung Fu. The Eagle Claw Kung Fu is to use the index finger, middle finger and thumb to oppose each other to form a pincer shape. It has the power of three fingers. It is shaped like an eagle's claw, hence the name. But there is a technique that is more accustomed to the power of five fingers, which is shaped like a tiger's claw. I guess the wounds on Robusang's body should be caused by the latter. "Tulku Cuoqin looked at Xiao Feng: "Since the Heavenly Master knows this kind of skill, do you know who did it?" Xiao Feng nodded: "Ming Dynasty's Dongchangchang Gong died under such a claw just a few days ago. , the weather is cold now, the body should not be rotten yet. If the Living Buddha wants to see it, Mr. Lu should be able to arrange it. It was the eve of New Year's Eve, the White Lotus Sect rebelled and assassinated in the capital, and Mr. Zhang Chang died in the line of duty." Living Buddha Coqin's eyes were clear. He flashed and nodded slowly: "I understand, the Heavenly Master said that Robusang was killed by the White Lotus Sect. Does the Heavenly Master know why the White Lotus Sect did this?" Xiao Feng said lightly: "The incident happened in a hurry, and there is no time to think about it carefully. , but I think there should be other reasons why Robusang was killed besides the White Lotus Sect wanting to blame it on the court. But Robusang is already dead. If you want to know what other reasons are there, you can only rely on you, the Living Buddha. ." Tsochen Living Buddha was stunned for a moment, and then he looked ashamed: "If the Buddha's Dharma is profound, you should have insight into the subtleties and know the past and the future. Unfortunately, we have reached the end of the Dharma period. Not to mention the poor monks, even other Living Buddhas in Tibetan areas are also There is no powerful person who can reach such a state." Xiao Feng was speechless, thinking to himself, I am counting on you to have insight into the subtleties, so do I need to waste so many words?
Then you would have known how Luo Bu Sang died, and you wouldn't have come here to ask questions.
"Living Buddha, although I cannot know the past and the future, since you and Robusang have had a relationship with Buddha for two lives, they are closer than a father and son. You might as well write a letter and ask me why Robusang died. Maybe you can get some insights. There is no guarantee of harvest." Tulku Coqin was startled, then nodded and said: "Amitabha, I also heard people from the Central Plains who went to worship the Buddha in Tibetan areas say that the great master Wenxuan of the Ming Dynasty had the ability to measure calligraphy. Since this can be done, how can the poor Monk, let’s see something today.” Lu Bing took the pen and ink, and Cuoqin Living Buddha thought for a moment, picked up the pen, and wrote in Chinese characters
The word "mulberry". Tsochen Living Buddha is quite knowledgeable and it is not surprising that he can write Chinese characters. However, after all, he usually uses Tibetan. This
The word "mulberry" is inevitably a bit scattered, far less neatly written than the scholars from the Central Plains.
"I would like to ask why Robusang died. In other words, besides the White Lotus Sect wanting to blame the imperial court, what other reasons were there?" Xiao Feng picked up the piece of paper and looked at it attentively.
After getting drunk on New Year's Eve, he thanked guests behind closed doors and recuperated his body. Now that he is fully resurrected, he feels that even taking a calligraphy test is easier than usual.
It seems that men should rest more, not too frequently. Once a day is just to prevent collapse, but it is also very harmful to the body.
"The word 'mulberry' has the word '叒' on the top and the word 'wood' on the bottom. The word '叒' is composed of three characters 'you'. The ancient meaning of the word 'you' is to hold the hand upward, which is exactly the opposite of the word 'claw'. Therefore , the ancient meaning of the word '咒' is three hands put together, which means to be of one heart and one mind. If my prediction is correct, Robusang's trip to Miao territory this time should be for the purpose of forming an alliance between Mongolia, Miao territory and Tibetan areas. Right." Living Buddha Tsochen hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Monks don't lie, it's true, the Heavenly Master measured it very accurately." Xiao Feng smiled: "But the Living Buddha didn't write the word '咒' neatly enough. The word 'you' above is far away from the two words 'you' below. This means that at least one party is opposed to the alliance. Judging from the results, Robusang died, and he should be the one who opposed the alliance. " Tulku Cuoqin nodded silently. Xiao Feng's speculation was reasonable. He couldn't say it was wrong without conscience, but he still had doubts.
"The Tibetan areas have been abandoned by the Ming Dynasty over the years and have had many contacts with Miao and Mongolia. There are also many Buddhists among them. If they are just forming an alliance to protect themselves, why would Robusang oppose it? Moreover, Robusang's opposition must be very fierce. Otherwise, the White Lotus Sect would not kill him." Xiao Feng nodded and continued to look at the word 'mulberry'. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. His hands were shaking slightly and his face turned pale.
"Living Buddha, the word 'mulberry' under the character is 'wood'. 'Wood' is the image of 'origin' that has lost its roots, and it is also the image of 'grain' that has lost its ears. 'Grain' that has lost its ears is a useless 'wood'. When a country loses its 'root', it is the root of turmoil. People regard food as their first priority, and the foundation of a country is food. The 'grain' loses its ears, and the country loses its 'root'. This is a sign of great hunger in the world!" As soon as the words came out, not only Tsoqen Living Buddha was shocked, the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar, and even Jiajing almost stood up.
He is a cultivator and a Taoist, but he is by no means a
The idiot who said, "Why not eat minced meat" has never thought that he would care about such nonsense as floods after he died.
He also wants to be a hero of a generation. Even if he is not heroic enough, at least he cannot be infamous for thousands of years. He also wanted to pass the throne to his son so that his little tablet could be enshrined in the ancestral temple.
What is the concept of world hunger? In previous years, there were severe famines in one or two provinces, and rescue was slow, and people were eating each other, which was terrible.
The world is hungry! However, why is there such a thing as famine in the world? I have done something that is outrageous and resentful. Will God punish me?
No, I did a good job this year! I no longer recruit beautiful women, I no longer take red lead pills, and I even do it myself.
There are fewer Japanese pirates, White Lotus has been eliminated, pirates have been recruited, clans have been reorganized, and clans have been reformed. With so many achievements, aren’t the immortals satisfied?
This KPI is set too high! Tsoqen Living Buddha was the first to recover from the shock: "Master, although the world's famine is a very important event, it is a natural disaster after all. What does it have to do with whether we are in alliance with Robusang?" Xiao Feng held the edge of the paper with his hand. , the sweat on his palms wetted the paper, and his eyes were filled with anger.
This kind of anger was something he had never experienced before. He originally thought that Yan Shifan was extremely vicious, the limit of viciousness a person could reach.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qin's evil has reached a new level. Does he deserve the surname Xiao?
"The word 'wood' is above the word '叒'. If three people join forces and work together to create this spikeless 'grain', then this is not only a natural disaster, it is a man-made disaster! They want to artificially create a disaster. Famine, take advantage of natural disasters to add fuel to the flames and make the people of the world miserable! Then there will be firewood everywhere, and then we can fan the flames and start a prairie fire!" Bang!
The whisk in Jiajing's hand hit the dragon table hard, and the hard ebony pole was broken. The whisk's head flew far away with the sound of wind, and almost hit Yan Song's feet.
Yan Song was lowering his head and thinking about the great hunger in the world, and he didn't know what it was that rolled over with the sound of wind.
He has become much older these days, and with his dim eyes, he actually thought that the whisk head was a disheveled head lying at his feet.
He screamed and jumped up in fright. When a monarch loses his composure at the same time, other civil and military ministers no longer have to worry about the monarch's misconduct, and they all curse and denounce the ambitions of the rebels and thieves, and are crazy.
Lu Bing reacted very quickly and immediately bent down to Jiajing and handed over his hands, his voice trembling.
"Long live my Majesty, please immediately ask the Ministry of Revenue to notify the local governments to renovate the granaries and increase the number of guards. Set up more water tanks, buckets, soil and river sand to prevent someone from setting fire!" Pan Huang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also quickly added: "What Mr. Lu said is absolutely true. , once the work is done, the Ministry of Household Affairs will make appropriate arrangements. However, although the granary is under the management of the Ministry of Household Affairs, its guards are sent by the Ministry of War. Long live my Majesty, I ordered the Ministry of War to send more manpower!" Ding Rukui did not show weakness and stepped forward: " What the two gentlemen said is true, but although the granary guards are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, their rapid mobilization is coordinated by local officials. Long live my Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel issued a document strictly ordering officials at all levels to put the safety of the granary first. If there is any Omissions, dismissal from office, and the crime will be discussed again!" When Xia Bangxian, the Minister of Personnel, saw the ball being kicked at his feet, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and planned to make a big kick. Jiajing waved his hand to stop his thoughts.
"This matter is not only related to the granary, but also to the seeds and agricultural tools for spring plowing, including the protection of young crops, and the protection before harvesting in autumn. No one department can complete it independently. My dear friends, this matter is of great importance. , everyone needs to work together, and no one can shirk the blame! The coordination of the six departments is the responsibility of the cabinet, with Yan Shoufu as the head, and Xu Jie and Gao Gong as the assistants. This matter must be done well!" Yan Song also came to his senses at this time. , although he is corrupt and wields power, he also knows the importance.
If there is really a great famine in the world, the first person to be unlucky before issuing the edict of sin is myself, the chief minister of the cabinet!
"I obey the decree, and I must do my best to be loyal to Long Live and to the Ming Dynasty!" In the excitement, tension and noisy chaos, no one noticed that Tsochen Living Buddha was already sitting cross-legged on the ground.
In the cold winter weather, even the ground in the temple was bitingly cold. But Tsochen Rinpoche seemed to have no feeling at all, just like sitting on an iceberg and being as stable as a rock.
He clasped his hands devoutly, held the heavy iron rod between his arms, closed his eyes and recited the scriptures silently. The noise in the main hall seemed to be in a different world than him.
The voices of the ministers gradually became silent. Finally, someone noticed Tsochen Rinpoche's actions. A censor stood up and cleared his throat.
"Tsochen Living Buddha performs Buddhist rituals and saves his disciples in the Golden Palace. This is a breach of etiquette before the king. It is very inappropriate and should be scolded!" You are kidding. We, Long Live, believe in the Tao, not the Buddha. You can't even stay in the capital anymore. How dare you act so arrogantly in the main hall!
Am I right? Hooray? Jiajing frowned and looked at Xiao Feng. But Xiao Feng was also sitting cross-legged, face to face with Cuoqin Living Buddha, but he didn't read any scriptures.
"Master Robusang, you are compassionate and compassionate, worthy of the heart of a Buddhist, proud and courageous, and worthy of the name of an iron rod. You are unwilling to collude with demons and demons, and you are unwilling to use the world as pawns. Regardless of whether you believe in Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, you are a great virtue. Master Wenxuan of the Great Ming Dynasty, Xiao Feng, the master of the world view, may the master be reborn in bliss, not fall into the world of mortals, or be reincarnated, and continue his destiny." Jiajing nodded slightly, indicating that the words of his junior brother were very reasonable and very graceful. .
As a senior brother, I am also honored. So he shook the fly whisk in a graceful manner, thinking that he could outdo the monk with his celestial spirit.
Unfortunately, he forgot that the whisk head was broken, leaving only a bare ebony pole. The movement became like the Half-Blood Prince waving a magic wand, and he almost screamed.
"Avada Kedavra". The ministers had never seen Harry Potter, so they just felt it was strange. After Cuoqin Living Buddha finished chanting, he opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Feng sitting in front of him, and smiled slightly.
"The Heavenly Master said before that you think Robusang will have a chance to be reincarnated as my disciple, and even have a chance to be reborn in bliss. Are you referring to this merit?" Xiao Feng nodded, shook his head, and looked at Tsochen Living Buddha with some confusion. Xiao Feng smiled calmly.
"Whether Robusang has a chance to be reincarnated or even be reborn in bliss, the cause and effect does not depend on him, but on you." Tsochen Rinpoche said blankly: "The words of the Heavenly Master are too deep for me to understand. I would like to ask the Heavenly Master to explain clearly. ." Xiao Feng said solemnly: "The merits originate from the heart and come from the results. The presence or absence of the merits depends on the heart, and the size of the merits depends on the results. Some people say: Do good deeds with intention, but you will not be rewarded even if you do it without intention. Evil, although there is no punishment for evil. Although there is a certain truth in it, it is too rigid and loses the true meaning of the world. Rewards and punishments refer to things in the world. When rewards are given, they are rewarded and when punishments are punished. As for the rewards and punishments from God, they are unknown. It has been destined for a long time, how can anyone see it?" Xiao Feng's words were neither Buddhist, Taoist, or Confucian, but they included all three. The eyes of Cuoqin Living Buddha suddenly appeared, and he seemed to have some understanding.
"The presence or absence of merit depends on the mind, and the size of merit depends on the results. Can Heavenly Master explain in detail?"
"Living Buddha, there is a person who is freezing and hungry in the snow. I am determined to save him. Can this thought have any merit?"
"Compassion is merit. If the Heavenly Master has thoughts, merit will naturally exist."
"But I had no food left and no fire. I tried every means, but he still died. I lit a fire to make soup, and I brought dry food with me to save his life. Which of the two has greater merit?"
"I understand the meaning of the Heavenly Master. Naturally, the merit of successfully saving people is greater. Compassionate hearts only have merit and the results are perfect, which is the greatest merit." Xiao Feng nodded and said solemnly: "So, not only does Robusang Unwilling to join forces with the demons, he hurried back on his way back. I think he wanted to persuade the living Buddhas in Tibet not only not to participate in this alliance, but also to inform the Central Plains to save the people. This move has already achieved merit. But the White Lotus Sect stopped him halfway. Killing Robusang means that although Robusang wanted to save people, he was unable to save others, and his merits are limited." Tsochen Rinpoche's eyes flashed, he put the iron rod on the ground with both hands, and touched it gently, as if he had some enlightenment.
"The Heavenly Master is saying that whether the results of Robusang's compassionate thoughts can be fulfilled depends on the poor monk." Xiao Feng nodded: "Yes, the living Buddha asked me to test the calligraphy to find out the cause of Robusang's death, and I asked the court to advance the test because of the calligraphy. I learned about the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect. This is the cause and effect. Robusang's heart has been half fulfilled. The remaining half, whether it can be perfected, depends on the Living Buddha." Living Buddha Cochen stood up slowly and clasped his hands towards Xiao Feng , said solemnly.
"Although the poor monk cannot represent the entire Tibetan area, the poor monk is willing to do his best to persuade the living Buddhas to reject this alliance. I, a Buddhist disciple, will never associate with demons!" Xiao Feng also stood up, clasped his hands, and asked Cuoqin The Living Buddha bowed deeply.
"The Living Buddha understands the righteousness well. Xiao Feng thanks the Living Buddha on behalf of the people of the Central Plains. With this result, I believe that Master Luobusang will be reincarnated or die as the Living Buddha wishes." Seeing the happy ending, all the civil and military ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiajing even more He waved his wand repeatedly with satisfaction, as if he was about to cast a blessing spell.
However, Tsochen Rinpoche's words immediately made everyone's happy atmosphere suddenly cool down again.
"The poor monk is meeting Long Live this time. In addition to the death of Robusang, he also shoulders the trust of thousands of Buddhists in Tibetan areas and the heart of Buddhism in the Central Plains. Buddhism is compassionate and saves all living beings. Why can't Long Live tolerate the pure land of Buddhism? It worships Tao and suppresses Buddha. ? Because of this and the consequences, aren’t you afraid that it will damage Long Live’s practice?”
