At this moment, Xu He stood still on the spot after hearing the news.
It turns out that Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants continue to exist in this time and space with another identity.
"Uncle, what about after Zhu Houzhao? Are there still Zhu family members?" Xu He asked.
Xu Song said: "I don't know. At least as far as I know, Zhu Houzhao has no descendants."
They met again, Zhu Houzhao had no heirs, and finally King Xingxian succeeded him.
Xu Song definitely didn't know this, but Xu He did.
If we go by historical inertia, it is estimated that Zhu Houcong has already appeared on the stage of history.
Could it be said that the Wenxiang Sect has now followed the Emperor Jiajing in history?
"By the way!" Xu Song said, "What happened to that saint? You said she let you go in He's house? Do you know her?"
The uncle's question was also a question that Xu He couldn't figure out.
He seemed unfamiliar with the saint.
It was even less likely that Lu Heng would know any saint.
Then why did she save herself?
"I don't know, so I'm confused too?" Xu He said honestly.
Xu Song pondered for a moment and then said: "Drinking tea and joining the religion seems to be the rule of the Qingcha Sect!"
"Qingcha Sect?" Xu He's mind was a little confused, "Uncle, why is there another Qingcha Sect? Isn't it the White Lotus Sect or the Wenxiang Sect?"
Xu Song shook his head: "There are many names for this evil way. It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it since you have been staying in the countryside. People like us will naturally not be exposed to this kind of evil way."
"Qingcha Sect is a new sect that broke away from the Wenxiang Sect. It claims to the outside world that it is a Mahayana sect. Those who join the sect must take refuge in the Three Refugees and Five Precepts, and stick a stick. They eat vegetarian food on weekdays and worship Maitreya, Guanyin and Wusheng Laomu. They burn them in the morning and evening. Offer incense once, offer two cups of tea and recite scriptures."
"They believe that after drinking tea, they can cure illnesses and eliminate disasters!"
"These people are mainly spread in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Nanzhi. However, I heard that since they broke away from Wenxiang Sect, they are incompatible with Wenxiang Sect. I don't know why they got together again! Maybe I will let you go. The Qingcha Sect is trying to harm the Wenxiang Cult!"
Xu He nodded. Indeed, in the morning, there was a conflict between Wenxiang Jiaozhu and the saint, and both parties didn't seem to buy it.
But that's not right.
Last night on the field next to He's house, the two of them worked together well and did not undermine each other.
Could it be that although they appear harmonious on the surface, they are still dirty in private?
Xu He suddenly felt something in his heart and said: "Uncle, do you think there is a force behind them that brings them together!"
When Xu Song heard this, his expression suddenly became serious: "It's very possible!"
"They gave up their original identities and came under the control of the White Lotus Sect. They must have some big plan!"
The more Xu Song thought about it, the more likely it was. He stood up and walked in the hall, thinking for a while, and then said to Xu He, "That's a good reminder!"
"When it comes to the development of these cults, there are actually traces to follow. We can find the roots from this point!"
After saying that, he took Xu He to the study room and asked Xu He to sharpen his ink. After pondering for a moment, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote the three characters "White Lotus Sect".
Then he said to Xu He: "The White Lotus Sect originated from the Pure Land Sect. I won't mention it before. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the Chinese Dynasty, its teachings changed a lot. They believe that there are two forces fighting each other in the world. It’s called the two sects of light and darkness.”
"Ming is light, which represents goodness and truth, and darkness is darkness, which represents sin and irrationality. These two aspects are constantly fighting in the past, present and future. After Maitreya Buddha comes to the world, light will finally defeat darkness. . This is the so-called "Three Worlds" of "Qingyang", "Hongyang", and "Baiyang". The believers serve the "Wu Sheng Old Mother" and believe in "Vacuum Hometown, No Life". The Eight-Character Mantra of "Birth Mother". The Incarnation Mother successively sent Lantern Buddha, Shiying Muni Buddha, and Maitreya Buddha down. They ruled the human world in each period. "
"The Qingyang period is the initial stage ruled by the Burning Deng Buddha. At that time, there was no heaven and earth, but there was light and darkness. The light type is smart and wise, and the dark type is stupid and stupid."
"The Red Sun Period is the middle stage ruled by Shakyamuni Buddha. At that time, the forces of darkness prevailed, suppressed the forces of light, and formed a "great disaster". This is the coming of the so-called "terrible catastrophe". At this time, Maitreya Buddha is about to be born. After a duel between the two sides, the light finally drives away the darkness."
"The Baiyang period is the later stage ruled by Maitreya Buddha. Light and darkness return to their respective positions, and darkness returns to extreme darkness."
At this point, Xu He finally figured out the doctrinal issues of the White Lotus Sect, but what does this have to do with the Wenxiang Sect and Qingcha Sect?
At this time, Xu Song wrote two big characters on the paper... [Luo Jiao]!
"The Luo Sect is an organization that just emerged in the Chinese dynasty. Its founder is Hu Zhongqing and his dharma name is Juerui. This sect emphasizes that the human heart is the source of everything and is equivalent to the vacuum, which is the essence of all things. Everyone has Buddha nature , the only goal is to seek Buddha nature and achieve enlightenment. He opposes the general way of worship, believing that it is a conditioned method, focusing on external and superficial things. He advocates inward exploration, and the method is inaction, so the sect is also called Wuwei teaching. Luo Qing criticized the White Lotus Sect, and did not mention the Inanimate Mother worshiped by the White Lotus Sect. The Luo Sect provides all illiterate sentient beings with the most concise and concise method of cultivating the Tao and becoming a Buddha, opening up a new path to the Tao, and there is no need to avoid practicing in Buddhism. It is suitable for lay people to practice and has many supporters. I heard that many princes and ministers in Beijing are followers of this religion."
"Isn't that great?" Xu He was a little confused about his uncle's words.
Xu Song shook his head: "Did you know? Most of the teachings of Wenxiang Sect and Qingcha Sect are actually derived from Luo Sect!"
"What?" Xu He was shocked and looked at Xu Song in disbelief.
Xu Song nodded: "Almost no one in the world is very clear about this. I was also in Huguang, and when I was wiping out the Wenxiang Sect, I discovered that there were "The Scroll of Enlightenment through Hard Work," "The Scroll of Sighing for Nothingness in the World," and "The Scroll of Inaction" in their camp. Books like "The Scroll of Destroying Evil", "The Scroll of Right Faith", and "The Scroll of Mount Tai"!"
"And these books are all Luo Jiao classics!"
Xu He suddenly said: "Uncle, what you mean is that the Luo Jiao is their skin, the white lotus is their bones, and the branches such as Wenxiang and Qingcha are their flesh and blood?"
Xu Song nodded: "The reason why I guessed this is because of what you heard at He's house!"
Xu He hesitated and said: "Which sentence?"
Xu Song said: "That's what the leader of Wenxiang Hall said about their leader preaching in Huai'an Mansion!"
Xu He suddenly realized what the leader of Wenxiang Hall said to He Liangchang at that time [Last month, the leader personally preached in Huai'an Prefecture, and more than 10,000 water workers converted to our religion. As long as there is a little more time, all the water workers on both sides of the canal will be mine. Teach believers. 】
"Is there anything wrong with this sentence?" Xu He asked.
Xu Song said: "As far as I know, the Luo religion has developed very quickly in Nanzhi. They are based on canal sailors and water workers, and they are recruiting people. Many wealthy businessmen are their followers. There are even rumors that the governor of canal transportation, Maliangbi, is private. Set up an incense hall to worship Patriarch Luo!"
The full title of the Governor of Water Transport is generally Du Cha Yuan You (usually right, but also left). He is the censor of the capital, the governor of water transport, and the admiral of military affairs. The governor is in charge of Yingzhou Bingbei Road, Xuzhou Bingbei Road, Huaiyang Coastal Defense Road, and Zhongdu is left behind. Si's 7 guards including Baiju Pavilion in Yancheng, Hongtang Guards Station, Luzhou Guard, Yangzhou Guard, Gaoyou Guard, Yizhen Guard, Chuzhou Guard, Xuzhou Guard, Huai'an Guard, Dahe Guard, Pizhou Guard, Yizhou Guard, Sizhou Guard, Shouzhou Guard, Suzhou Guard, and Haizhou Central Guards Station. Therefore, the Governor of Water Transport is called Shuai, Da Shuai, Cao Shuai! "
This is a proper feudal official.
Even a fifth-grade coastal defense master like Zhang Jingxian had to listen to his orders.
Xu He's scalp went numb when he thought of this!
"Seeing this, the book has just begun.
Let me explain some of the settings of this book.
First of all, some of the main characters here have historical records.
For example, Xu Fan, Xu Song, Xu Dai and his son, there is still Xujiaqiao in Taizhou today!
Also like Zhang Jingxian.
Zhang Jingxian (named Mianzhi, native of Meizhou, Sichuan, nationality, "The Book of Songs"), 26 years old, Chinese style Jiajing seventeenth year, Wuxu Section 3A and 7th Jinshi. Born on October 24, row 1, His great-grandfather Zhang Puzhong was the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs; his ancestor Zhang Yuyan was the prefect; his father Zhang Hongyong was a tribute scholar; his mother was Li. His wife was Liu and his wife Guo; his younger brother Xiangxian. Youzhou studied Chinese Sichuan style. Ranked 64th in the provincial examination and 279th in the Chinese examination. Zhang Jingxian served as governor of Su Song to inspect and win the position.
According to Wanli Taizhou Chronicles, Zhang Jingxian served as the Huaiyang Coastal Defense Road during the period when the story of this book took place.
Of course, there are also some people here who have been processed into characters.
For example, Gu Hengbo and Qinhuai Bayan were figures from the late Ming Dynasty.
For example, Li Zhijie, the protagonist’s teacher, is actually based on Zhu Gongjie, one of the Ten Sons of Yuezhong.
You may not have heard of this.
But his son Zhu Geng believes that those who are familiar with "History of the Ming Dynasty" must have heard of it. Of course, he is not the most famous among the ten sons of Yuezhong. Among them, Shen Lian and Xu Wei are familiar to everyone.
Some people ask why the eight-part essays of Tang Shunzhi and Zhai Jingchun appear in the book. Isn't this a fiction?
So, after seeing this, everyone should understand, right? "
