Biography of Yang Fei

Chapter 209
Wei Baoheng hurriedly put it away as if he had found a treasure, and said again: "Master! It's all your own fault, what are you doing to raise the poisonous poison! If you didn't have such ability, how could you get caught up in the disputes in the harem?" !"

Master Mingjing smiled wryly, thinking that back then, he bred the poison to break the curse, but he did not expect that he was harmed by the poison, so he knew that neither the poison nor the evil curse were good things, and in the end he hurt himself!
Wei Baoheng went out and spread the news, saying that Master Mingjing was going to become a rainbow today, so the government sent people to protect him, and if anyone was willing to witness the grand event, they would line up to enter the Huguo Temple.

As soon as the news came out, Chang'an was in an uproar!This eminent monk's theory of Honghua has been said for a long time, but he has never seen it with his own eyes. He never thought that he would be lucky enough to witness it today!Almost all the people in Chang'an flocked into the Huguo Temple, the alleys were empty and there was a sea of ​​people.

This master Mingjing sat high on the Zen platform, meditating with his eyes closed, with a solemn expression on his face.All the people were talking about it, and some knowledgeable people were still spreading the knowledge of Honghua.

It turns out that this rainbow has three forms, 1: the rainbow body
This kind of achievement can be achieved only by practicing the fundamental purity of the heart of Dzogchen. When the practitioner passed away, his body gradually shrank, and most of them shrunk to the height of an cubit. The more excellent practitioners only left their hair and nails after a few days. During the process, round or disc-shaped lights will appear around or above the body.No matter in the past or present, those who have achieved such achievements are the most.

2: light body
This kind of achievement is the achievement of the sudden super practice of the heart and soul, that is, when passing away, even the nails and hair are not left, and the karmic body is completely integrated into the light aggregate, leaving nothing behind.

3: The Rainbow Light Body of Great Transference

The rarest achievement is achieved by cultivating Dzogchen Dunchao. The rainbow light body that lives in the world and never dies is also called the real diamond body. The Buddha body is solid, as if the diamond is indestructible.In Buddhist terminology, a body with an indestructible body is called "whole body relic", which means that after the monks and nuns have passed away, the body has not only been decayed and festered for many years, but also is lifelike.Being able to achieve the state of incorruptible physical body is naturally not enough for ordinary cultivation, so monks and nuns with indestructible physical bodies are honored as "Bodhisattvas with physical bodies".

Everyone is guessing how this Master Mingjing will disappear.At this time, Master Mingjing was surrounded by young novice monks, chanting words.At this time, Wei Baoheng stepped forward and circled around Master Mingjing, then hurriedly retreated.

I saw Master Mingjing's serene face, but there was a faint fire shining through, and someone shouted: "Look! Smart Fire! It's about to rainbow!"

I saw a faint light overflowing from Master Mingjing's side, accompanied by a faint fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.Suddenly, Master Mingjing was surrounded by flames and disappeared into the smoke, only to see a flash of white light in the sky, the dazzling light forced everyone to close their eyes. lost sight.

All the monks immediately stepped forward to cover the meditation platform, and said loudly: "The master has become a rainbow and ascended to heaven!"

Everyone knelt on the ground, praying and blessing, and their hearts were surging because they could see such a wonderful scene.

At this moment, the wreckage of Master Mingjing had been removed, and when everyone got up, there was nothing left on the Zen platform.

For a moment, the rainbow transformation of Master Mingjing was exaggerated as miraculous and glorious.The common people are very fortunate to have such a well-educated eminent monk.

But he said Wei Baoheng just appeased and warned a few monks who knew about it, put the remains of Master Mingjing into a pottery jar for encoffining, and hurried back to the palace.Monk Mingkong was left there secretly feeling sad, he could see clearly what the rainbow was turning into, it was clear that Master Mingjing had to be burned alive in order to protect the Huguo Temple!
That Wei Baoheng forced Master Mingjing to drink kerosene mixed with saltpeter, and when it was burning, there would be colorful light overflowing, and Wei Baoheng put a lot of Longyan incense on the Zen platform, so there was a fragrant smell, and the white light was even more warm It was reflected by the copper mirror with the yamen servant!

Although Mingkong didn't know why he had to force Master Mingjing to death, he could see that they planned it long ago, but so what?Royal affairs cannot be mentioned, Master Mingjing is the best example!

But it is said that the Huguo Temple is full of vigor and vitality, and the harem is not peaceful, because the concubine Wang Guifei proposed that the emperor should establish a prince!The concubine's plan is to support her favorite prince to take the throne and to be her puppet, but if the emperor has a prince who is justified, the concubine's plot will not be so easy to succeed!

Therefore, Wang Guifei said: "Your Majesty! A prince is the foundation of a country. If there is a prince, the prince will pass on the throne in the future. Then others will steal the throne and cannot convince the public. In exchange for a little life!"

The emperor thought for a long time, and felt that the words of the royal concubine were very reasonable.Na Nongyu and Fuqin have no heirs, so naturally they can't say much.Concubine Guo Shu was not convinced, she sneered and said, "Why don't Wang Guifei just call Li Yan the crown prince?"

Concubine Wang Guifei turned her head, looked at Concubine Guo Shu indistinctly, and said, "I don't mean that. No matter who is the crown prince, Concubine Shu is also a concubine. There is no difference. Why do you care so much?" The implication is that you don't have a prince. , do your ass, don't shut up!

Concubine Guo Shu was furious, but was stopped by the emperor, and said: "What Concubine Wang Guifei said makes sense, let me think about it!" Concubine Wang showed a slight smile, if she chooses the prince, her daughter is the most hopeful!Of all the princes of the emperor, the imperial concubine has the highest status, and besides Lei Ji, the other concubines who gave birth to the prince are no longer alive, and Lei Ji is deeply hated by the emperor. Yang Yu still doesn't know what is in her belly !

Yang Yu smiled lightly, this noble concubine is really a good trick!Obviously it was for his own plan, but the emperor didn't doubt his intentions at all!
Yang Yu laughed secretly in her heart, she must not let Wang Guifei's treacherous plan succeed!The current situation is already under control, and the emperor will not be defeated. The concubine Wang Guifei just made such a suggestion while the emperor was in a state of uncertainty. It's unstoppable.

Yang Yu looked at the emperor sadly with a worried expression on his face, the emperor couldn't help being shocked, and said: "That's all! You all step back, I will think about the appointment of the crown prince!"

Concubine Wang was a little displeased, but there was nothing she could do. She originally wanted to ask the emperor to agree to come down, but as time went by, Yang Yu's ears blew, and she didn't know what would happen!

After Wang Guifei left, the emperor asked softly, "Is Yu'er worried?" Yang Yu didn't deny it. Now she just needs to be careful, so the emperor will trust her more, so he pouted and said, "The emperor also said When the concubine's prince is born, he needs to be well nurtured, but now it's good, he is about to leave the prince, where is there a place for our mother and son? Although the concubine does not expect his prince to inherit the great treasure, the emperor has a prince In the future, if you love the youngest son in the womb of the concubine, I'm afraid it will be a disaster, so there are few lessons from the past?"

The emperor fell silent immediately, yes, there are many such precedents, and he himself is a bloody precedent!Although he is not the crown prince, he is the eldest son, but the former emperor loved his youngest son Li Zi, and it would be a disaster for the royal family to fight each other!

Seeing that the emperor was moved, Yang Yu said again: "Besides, the position of the crown prince is really not easy to achieve. Let's see how many real crown princes have succeeded to the throne in all dynasties. It's ridiculous that this royal concubine can't see through it!"

What Yang Yu said was not wrong at all.Under the monarchy system, the prince is a very special role. He is under one person and above ten thousand people. He has a prominent position and an embarrassing status. He is not only the emperor's favorite, but also the emperor's worry. You don't talk about politics, you don't have a king in your eyes, and you even suspect that you are plotting wrongdoing and grabbing power; those brothers who covet the position of the crown prince will also wait for the opportunity to make trouble, stumbling, fighting openly and secretly, and taking advantage of the fire to rob, and they all want to replace him.There is an emperor pressing down on him, and brothers outside are staring at him. If he is a little careless and offends Tianwei, he will be punished and deposed, or imprisoned and killed if he is serious.In short, the job of the prince is the most difficult to do.

To be a prince, in addition to being extra cautious, one must also be prepared for a protracted war.Being a prince for three to five years will pass by gritting your teeth; being a prince for decades, whether you can hold your body and keep your status depends on your fortune.Historically, there are not a few people who have been princes for more than 20 years. Some are weak and failed to survive the emperor;

Hearing what Yang Yu said, the emperor also took it seriously, and said: "Yu'er's words are not bad. In my Tang Dynasty, there were countless princes who ended up miserable. Indeed, there were not many who succeeded to the throne. Compared with them, Shunzong The emperor became the crown prince for 26 years and finally achieved a positive result, becoming the emperor who has been the crown prince for the longest time in history. In the end, he still ascended the throne of the emperor."

Seeing that the emperor was thinking, Yang Yu said, "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, so there is no rush to establish a crown prince!"

The emperor nodded, but he fell into deep thought. It turned out that he was thinking about Tang Shunzong!As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is familiar with the previous emperors, and the one he admires the most is Tang Shunzong

Li Song is the eldest son of Tang Dezong.In December of the 14th year of the Dali calendar (779), Tang Dezong ordered Li Song to be the prince.Li Song is quite talented in literature, likes all kinds of arts and learning, and is good at official script. Whenever Tang Dezong writes poems for his ministers, Li Song must write them.Li Song's martial arts are good, and he can deal with chaos without panic.In November of the fourth year of Jianzhong (783), Tang Dezong fled Fengtian (now Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province) due to the "Jingyuan Mutiny".Faced with the siege of the rebels, Li Song "banned the brigade first, and resisted the war in the city", leading the soldiers to victory in the defense of Fengtian.

Although he has both civil and military skills and a high reputation, Li Song's career as a prince was not all smooth sailing.The prison of Princess Gao, which happened in August of the third year of Zhenyuan (787), almost pushed him into the abyss of extinction.Princess Gao is the daughter of Tang Suzong, and her daughter Xiao is Li Song's concubine.After the death of her husband, Princess Gao took advantage of her special status, not only had an affair with foreign ministers, but also secretly communicated with courtiers, and even practiced witchcraft.After Tang Dezong heard the news, he suspected that Li Song was causing trouble, so he came up with the idea of ​​changing the crown prince.
