Wanli Xinming

Chapter 211
When Zhu Yijun heard Han Shan's words, the smile on his face became more and more popular.He asked with a smile, "Master Han Shan—" Han Shan hurriedly retreated and said, "I dare not be, I dare not be called the emperor like that."

Zhu Yijun continued: "You said that even if there is cause and effect in the past life, it is still the same person who can't see it. What if someone can see the cause and effect of the past life and the result in the future?"

After hearing this, Han Shan thought for a long time before replying: "What the emperor said is 'fate understanding'. Arhats have such supernatural powers only after they have attained the first fruit of Sutuohuan. Huan, you have to cut off the 88th rank first to see the confusion, and you have experienced three kalpas in the three monks. The poor monk has never heard of anyone who can be born with such supernatural powers."

When Empress Dowager Li heard Han Shan say this, she gave a surprised "ah".Han Shan heard Empress Dowager Li's sigh, looked up and saw Empress Dowager Li fixed her gaze on the back of Zhu Yijun's head.

Han Shan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he never imagined that Empress Dowager Li would feel like seeing a living arahant when she saw Zhu Yijun now.He didn't know what the emperor asked about this, but when he had a rare opportunity, he went on to explain the Dharma:
"Your Majesty, there is another verse in the Huayan Sutra: 'Innumerable kalpas in the past, set up the present in the future, and innumerable kalpas in the future, return to the past life.' The past and the future, from the point of view of the poor monk, are just repeating. It is only in this generation that the Dharma is imparted to liberate sentient beings in the three realms—if all the people in the world are in the Land of Ultimate Bliss and are born with supernatural powers, then the first fruit, Su Tuo Huan, does not need to go through kalpas to obtain it.”

Zhu Yijun knew for a long time that he could not find the answer to his own transmigration in Hanshan, and he asked the question just now, but it was just to fool the Queen Mother. This will be of great benefit for him to rectify Buddhism and manage religion in the future.

He could no longer hear what Han Shan said, so he interrupted: "Well. I know. This time I came to you, because the queen mother wanted to ask, since the dharma assembly was held, why was Princess Rongchang born—— The queen mother is eager to hug her grandson's ear." After speaking, Haha laughed first.

The two palaces who said a word also laughed.Empress Dowager Chen said: "The emperor is talking nonsense! I am not in such a hurry with your Empress Dowager!" Empress Dowager Li didn't speak, but just tapped Zhu Yijun's hat with a fan handle behind him.

Han Shan secretly scolded this family for being inauthentic. Who said that if you do the Fa ceremony, you will have a son?After thinking about it, I will continue to fool the family and continue to do Buddhist affairs. Anyway, depending on the emperor's physical condition, it will be a matter of time to give birth to a son.

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not wait for him to answer, and then continued: "I couldn't solve it before. But I saw the yellow book reported by the cabinet a few days ago, and I know the cause and effect."

Hanshan's head was full of confusion, and he opened his mouth to listen to the emperor's flickering: "Well, all the people in the world are my children. Now there are many places in Huguang and Jiangnan to drown baby girls, and I don't know how much killing karma has been created! What is the cause and effect? I have endured some. This is a warning from the Buddha to me, if it is not properly resolved, this son will be difficult to give birth!"

Because Han Shan confirmed that the emperor belonged to the Arhat status, Empress Dowager Li listened to the emperor's words at this time, as if it were different from that of the Buddha Luyin.After listening to this, he slapped the table and said, "That's right! Ignorant and foolish people drown and kill female infants, this emperor can only have daughters! Master Han Shan - is it possible to solve this crime?"

Hanshan closed his open mouth, and his thoughts were spinning, knowing the emperor's intentions.He Shi said: "In the words of the Queen Mother, although all living beings are equal, the karma of murder is the heaviest. Anyone who kills is in the three evil realms of reincarnation and cannot be liberated from all calamities. Although he kills his own children, he is born as a human being, and a little bit of true spirit will be enough. Attain the status of Bodhisattva. Where are those fools killing people, that is killing a Bodhisattva! If you kill a Bodhisattva, what Dharma deeds can you do?"

Seeing the emperor nodding his approval, Han Shan spoke again: "The cause of this boundless crime is the ignorance of the people. The poor monk suggested to the emperor that this principle be popularized all over the world, and that all sects in the world would analyze and understand when they preached the scriptures— - In this way, there must be immeasurable merits and virtues."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he gave the wise monk a compliment in his heart.He nodded and smiled and said: "Well, I want to hand this over to you. I will find some Taoist Quanzhen when I look back, and I will consult with you and others to solve this matter from the religious direction - the newspaper will also cooperate with you. ."

When Han Shan heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart.If this is done, it will be of great merit!When he meditates and meditates, when will he realize his true self?This Buddha in this world has pointed out the bright road, when will we not be brave and diligent at this time?
He saluted and said, "Your Majesty's bodhicitta will shake the worlds of the ten directions. If you send this thought, you will have immeasurable merits and virtues! Dare the poor monk not obey the order?"

Zhu Yijun listened, and then instructed: "You must plan carefully, and do it well." Hanshan agreed.

Zhu Yijun paused and said again: "At this time, all the Buddhist and Taoist sects in the world enjoy the worship of the people, but they do not follow the teachings of their ancestors, and violate the Taizu's "Affirmation of Buddhism" and Chengzu's "Monk-Dao Forbidden Covenant". People who practice fasting and chanting sutras in the middle of the night are often more profitable than thick and thin, and have no sincerity. They even drink and eat meat, wander and prostitute, and have no scruples. There are also ignorant and foolish people, falsely claiming to be Taoists, all deceive men and women, and there is no other way to corrupt the weather. These things , do you know something?"

As if Jiao Lei had hit his ear, Han Shan's head was dizzy.What the hell is wrong with this emperor?

As soon as this side is entrusted with an important task, is there going to be shouting and killing there?At this time, there are indeed many scumbags of Buddhism, those who corrupt the world, and even those who commit crimes.But the reasons are very complicated: of course there are ungodly Buddhists who take advantage of it, but more local officials and local forces use temples to control public opinion, evade taxes and evade labor and other things.This big black pot is going to be carried, I am afraid that the emperor will give thunder to Buddhism!
Sure enough, I heard the emperor say: "In Hongwu, monks and Taoists who do not follow the ancestral customs, and lay people who practice yoga and call themselves fire dwellers, are all strictly prohibited. Chengzu also published a list and stated that those who violated the law would not be forgiven. Although I have the heart to the Buddha , but to those who mess with our religion and pollute the Buddhadharma, they will also do something like a vajra to subdue demons!"

When Han Shan heard this, he knelt down and trembled: "Your Majesty, all the Buddhist deeds done by the monks are nothing more than blessings for the country, and the yin and yin the emperor. How dare you violate the laws and violate the laws of the country? The poor monk can't say that there is no adultery in the world of Buddhism today. Violation of the law, contamination of Buddhism, etc., but it is not suitable to be punished, and the road to prosperity of Buddhism is also!"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he hurriedly called out: "Master Hanshan doesn't have to be like this. I also know that these people are in the minority. But because the royal family worships Buddhism, there are indeed many places of this kind of smog. For example, the imperial court stipulated that they should go to temples, nunneries and palaces today. Except for those who do not have land, those who have land should have one person per monk and Taoist, and each should save five acres, exempt from rent and tax, and use it for incense.

Han Shan opened his mouth and looked at Empress Dowager Li with a cry for help, wanting her to relax a few words.At this time, he wished that Empress Dowager Li would wake up again and stop the emperor's words, otherwise this Buddhist school must suffer a catastrophe.

Unexpectedly, what Empress Dowager Li thought was that this emperor must be the reincarnation of a Dharma-protecting arahant, and he couldn't bear to see the pollution of Buddhism in this world, so he said so.At this moment, in her heart, she only admired her son, how could she have any opinion?

Empress Dowager Li did not speak, but Han Shan wanted to answer.He reluctantly echoed back: "What the emperor said is that the poor monk has no excuse for this matter. The poor monk wants to ask for a decree, the assembly of the monks, and the declaration of abiding by the national law - please give the emperor some time, If there are those who are obsessed with greed and do not listen, it will not be too late to attack again.”

Zhu Yijun heard this, stepped down from the throne and helped Han Shan up.Gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, that's very good. I have asked the Ministry of Rites, together with Buddhism and Taoism, to introduce new laws and establish an association, so that you can manage your own religion. Today you and I have a deep talk, and I will If you know what you already know, I will give you the burden of protecting the Dharma in the future—I leave it to you!”

Han Shan looked like he had been played badly, raised his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what is an association?"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "This matter, you go back to Yang Junmin's servant. I set up the Religious Department under the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Junmin is in charge of this matter. You learn what I said to him today, and he knows what to do. "

Don't know that Empress Dowager Li is today's protagonist Hanshan monk: ".,."
