But this doesn't matter to Zhu Biao. He didn't really offend his father and was imprisoned. No matter who it is, it's just a matter of the past few days. It's just that Zhang Tianshi happened to catch up. .
Zhu Biao lowered his head and looked at his regular clothes. He felt that they were very decent and generous. There was no need to change into court clothes. After all, he was not going to the morning court.
So he walked towards the Wuying Palace. In a moment, a large group of people followed behind him, and they left the East Palace in a mighty manner. Zhu Biao walked in front with his hands behind his back, but he felt nothing, but the palace maids and eunuchs behind him couldn't hold back. of joy.
As the slaves of the East Palace, they were naturally very dignified in the palace, but as the saying goes, both are prosperous and suffer losses. Naturally, they were also quite shocked when the prince was banned. They felt that their waists were not straight when they were walking on the road or on errands.
Cross the Inner Wulong Bridge from the Zuoshun Gate, and then pass through the Right Shun Gate to reach the palace complex of Wuying Palace. Wuying Palace corresponds to Wenhua Palace, which means one for civil and one for military. Naturally, it will not be a lonely palace.
On the top of the mountain with yellow glazed tiles, the Xumizuo is surrounded by a white marble railing. In front of the platform, there is a corridor leading directly to Wuying Gate. The east and west side halls are Ningdao Hall, Huanzhang Hall, and Jingsi Hall in the back hall.
From a distance, Zhu Biao saw many Taoist priests and Taoist boys outside Wuying Hall. They were all wearing light blue coarse sermon robes and net scarves on their heads, which looked quite refined.
When he got closer to Zhu Biao, he saw several monks hiding inside, accompanied by some officials from the Ministry of Rites. It seemed that they were waiting for the emperor's summons, which was in line with his father's character. He had seen everyone, so he simply saw everyone. It would save him a lot of money. Trouble later.
Zhu Biao was surrounded by people, and his majestic momentum was naturally noticed early. Seeing the Crown Prince approaching, all the monks and Taoist officials knelt on the ground, but no one in the palace had ever dared to say that he was a monk. If you don’t kneel to the powerful.
"I, all of you (poor monks and poor Taoists), see His Highness the Crown Prince, and may your Highness live in good health for a long time to come."
Zhu Biao walked up to the leading monk and said, "Master Huitan, I'm sorry. I haven't listened to the master's explanation of Zen sutras for a long time."
"How can a poor monk dare to preach and explain the scriptures in front of His Highness?"
The rest of the people also stood up. Zhu Biao glanced at a lot of people who looked familiar, but there was no need for him to greet them one by one. He just said a few casual greetings, and then started talking to Monk Huitan again.
Because this monk is the leader of Buddhism, just like Zhang Changcheng is in Taoism, at least in the eyes of the imperial court, the imperial court established Shanshiyuan in the first month of the first year of Hongwu, and ordered Huitan Jueyuan, a monk of the Linji Sect of the Great Hui Sect, to lead it. Buddhist matters.
He was awarded the title of Great Zen Master of Yanfan, benefiting the world and benefiting the country, and was appointed as the abbot of Tianjie Temple. He wore purple clothes and took charge of Buddhist affairs in various mountains. He had a decisive prestige in Zen Buddhism.
"Since the master is here in person, there is no need to wait here. Just inform the emperor and he will invite the master in for a meeting."
Zen Master Huitan laughed and said: "The poor monk is waiting for Your Highness. He has something to ask for, but he is afraid that he will not get it if he asks the Holy One, so he is not in a hurry to come in."
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Master still wants to go to the Western Regions?
The monks on the side clasped their hands and recited the Buddha's name, but they did not say anything to persuade him. This shows that Zen Master Huitan's mind was determined not to be persuaded.
Zen Master Huitan faced the west and said: "The poor monk knows that Your Majesty is worried that the poor monk will die of old age, infirmity, and illness in the West, but what's the problem? Only by thinking about the Tathagata and approaching the Tathagata can you realize the Tathagata. The poor monk does not seek results, but only seeks to walk in the path of his mind. He will not die. regret."
Zhu Biao looked helpless. Zen Master Huitan was one of the monks he respected more. He really did not seek worldly glory and wealth. Not only was he very prestigious in Jiangnan, he was even influential in Wusi Zang. Those lamas who came to Beijing were all wise. Received by Zen Master Tan.
Therefore, neither Lao Zhu nor he was too willing to let Huitan go to the west, but he had been asking for it since the second year of Hongwu. If he had not known the temper of the current saint and was afraid of implicating innocent people, he would have taken the opportunity to slip away. Zen people can Not so conventional.
"Forget it, I will help you with some persuasion and fulfill the master's long-cherished wish."
"As you walk in your heart, you should never forget to pray for the Ming Dynasty, the Holy Lord, and His Highness' health day and night."
The monks and Taoists on the side chanted in unison: "Amitabha (the God of infinite blessings)"
After the announcement, Zhu Biao and several respected monks and Taoists came in together. Most of them were abbots and Taoist temples in temples inside and outside the capital. Naturally, the heavenly masters came to meet them when they came to the capital.
Zhu Biao was naturally walking in the front. When he entered, he saw a Taoist wearing a red, purple and five-color clouds and twenty-four crane cloaks, a nine-yang jade ring and a thunder scarf on his head, a gold ribbon around his waist, a Zhu Danxiao on his feet, and a tooth wat and Buddha dust in his hand. Standing aside, even though he was wearing royal clothes, he still couldn't hide his vague temperament.
"My son (poor monk and poor Taoist) pays homage to the Father (Holy One), and the Holy Father (Holy One) bows down and prays for all blessings."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in charge, said casually with a serious face: "Everyone is exempt from courtesy."
"I pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince. I wish His Highness good health for the rest of his life."
Zhu Biaoxu supported him and said, "Master Tian is well."
After a while of greetings, the emperor gave him a seat. Zhu Biao naturally sat high on top, second only to Lao Zhu. Even the Zen Master Tianshi could not be ranked with him. This is the king of heaven and earth, his own teacher, and people from outside the country are also inevitable.
"On the order of His Highness, I have brought with me twenty-four Taoist scriptures and talismans, including "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary", "Zhengyi Jing", and "Tianguan Zhangben" personally annotated by the ancestors of heavenly masters."
The two Taoist boys brought the sutra to Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao glanced at it for a few times and then said with a satisfied smile: "Excuse me, Heavenly Master, to go there in person. I just have a question that I have been confused about for a long time. I wonder if Heavenly Master can clear it up?"
"People who are poor and outsiders only know what they have learned from family traditions, so they can only tell everything they know to the best of their ability."
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and then asked: "How can the Supreme Being of Heaven have a teacher?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, and the rest of the monks and Taoists were also nervous. Sure enough, they still violated the taboo, but they didn't know how big the trouble would be. Fortunately for the monks, the Taoists were a little worried about whether Zhengyi would be suppressed. After all, Quan Zhen The Word is gone.
The contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Changsheng is not an ordinary person after all. After pondering for a moment, he replied: "The name Celestial Master first appeared in "Zhuangzi Xu Wugui". It says: The Yellow Emperor bowed to Jishou again and called the Celestial Master before retreating. The Celestial Master was first respectfully called the Huangdi Minister. Qi Bo is a heavenly being who can cultivate one's innocence; a teacher is a prophet and foreknowledge. Those who speak the Tao are valued by the emperor. The teacher preaches the Tao and teaches, so he is called a heavenly master." "
This is avoiding the important and taking the easy. Zhu Biao then asked: "Qi Bo, a minister of the Yellow Emperor, the emperor's envoy Qi Bo tasted the grass and trees. He was responsible for treating diseases and discussing medicine. He even asked each other difficult questions. He wrote plain questions and coffins, and compiled eighteen volumes of the Nei Jing. I, the ancestor of Chinese medical books, am revered by all races as a heavenly master for my heavenly merits and virtues."
"Why is it that there is no Heavenly Master Qi in the world but Heavenly Master Zhang is hereditary and has no replacement?"
The eyes of the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette standing at the door widened with excitement. They had long been disgusted with the fact that these monks and Taoists could be titled and enjoy the courtesy of second-rank officials by reciting a few steps of scriptures and Taoist scriptures. I have been studying hard for more than ten years in Hanchuang. , why are they still of low quality? They are all deceiving the world and stealing their reputation!
Zhang Tianshi trembled slightly. No matter what, he dared not say that his merits could surpass Qi Bo. Traditional Chinese medicine is known as Qi Huang's technique. It can be seen that Qi Bo is the first meritorious and is known as the ancestor of traditional Chinese medicine.
He now regrets extremely why he provoked the prince. If he had known earlier, he would have had the scriptures sent to the East Palace.
However, Zhang Changsheng was not an ordinary person after all. His expression did not change at all and he still had the same fairy-like attitude. The regret was only a momentary thing. He knew that since the emperor did not interrupt at this time, it meant that the emperor was also dissatisfied with Tianshi Dao. It was just the prince who spoke.
It's a good thing to say it this way. After all, His Royal Highness is only the crown prince, and there is still room for him to explain and refute. The emperor's words cannot allow him to refute.
"Your Highness, Qi Bo was granted the title by the Yellow Emperor, and I was granted the title of Three Days of Righteous Dharma by the Supreme Lord himself. He ordered our ancestors to assist the Duke of Han as the Heavenly Master, and was given the task of eradicating demons and saving the people. The two responsibilities are Different things cannot be generalized.”
After all, the Zhang family still doesn't want to give up the name of Heavenly Master. You must know that the emperor is only the son of the emperor, and he must be destined by destiny. You can imagine how influential this title is.
