Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2200 Flower War (One Hundred Eight)

  Eunuchs were not all eunuchs in the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, but a general term for the officials who served the emperor and the royal family in the palace.

   But eunuchs who have been tortured by the palace can get along with the royal family day and night, win the trust of the emperor, and can participate in national government affairs. Some prisoners are also subjected to palace punishment because of the criminal law. For example, the descendants of Lin Shuangwen, who revolted in Taiwan, did not participate in the uprising because they were young, but they were still sent to the palace. way of punishment.

  Nick can hardly understand why the emperor can let these people serve him with peace of mind. He has heard that there are eunuchs in the Persian palace, but they did not form such a huge influence as the eunuchs in the late Han and Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that there is a very strict palace prohibition system in the Qing palace. However, where there are regulations, there must be flaws and loopholes that can be exploited. Most of them will use the opportunity of business trips to open up relationships. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has pinpointed the time and prevented them from staying outside.

   In addition, they are not allowed to communicate with outsiders. Even if their family members have private messages, Xiaojun Wang and Yongrong once reminded Juren that no matter how the eunuchs begged, they should not write or deliver letters for them.

   This is a bit inhumane. It is human nature to miss relatives, but the people in the palace do not have this kind of power that belongs to human nature, in order to prevent things from happening at the end of the Ming Dynasty from happening again. Palace maids are not the same as eunuchs. They used to "serve" the emperor and give birth to children. However, after the eighth elder brother Yinsi, most of them also gave up their thoughts. , This incident was mentioned in Kangxi's decree written because of the "dead eagle incident", which is also a stain on Yinsi's life, who is very good at being a man.

   His biological mother couldn't live because of this, and she didn't take medicine when she was ill, so as not to drag her son down, and finally died early.

In order to prevent the concubine and foreign relatives from interfering with the government, the biological mother could not support the son she gave birth to. She would either give it to the designated concubine for adoption, or send it to the elder brother's office to be raised by the nursing mother and eunuch. A situation in which a prince is closer to his nursing mother than to his biological mother.

It can’t be said that people’s lives are taken care of in the palace. Killing a person is as simple as killing a chicken. Poisoning cases happen every two days in three days. If this happens, the imperial doctor will appear as soon as possible to find out what caused the death. It will bring disaster to the emperor, concubines and princes.

   But in the Forbidden City, there are no human relationships and ethics. It is understandable that the palace maid and the guards run away. It is relatively rare for eunuchs to escape. Where else can they go other than the palace?

When chatting in private, the eunuchs said that their lifelong wish was to go to Mount Putuo once to make incense. Burning incense and paying homage to the Buddha could not change the misery of the palace people, but at least under the Buddhist concept of karma and reincarnation, the practice in this life seeks good fortune in the next life. It is a romance and a helpless dream of life to live in desperation in order to satisfy religious beliefs.

In the first year of Yongzheng, there was a case of eunuchs escaping. It was the first month of the year, and it was traditionally a New Year's holiday. It was surprising that such a thing happened at the beginning of a new dynasty and a new year. After San Jinxiang's **** Zheng Jinzhong sent it back to the palace, he said that he went to the incense at the will of Kangxi.

   Generally speaking, Kangxi should send people to Mount Wutai, and it would be right to go to the Taoist Temple of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to incense incense, but at that time it was already "dead without proof". The **** was not put to death, but went to the "Guan Zemen" after being scolded by the rod to prepare fodder for the horse.

  Avalokitesvara is found in many places, whether it is worshipped in temples, or worshipped by the folks in their own homes, or in Journey to the West, where the golden cassock was almost stolen, and the Guanyin Academy managed by the elder Jinchi who colluded with the black bear spirit.

  Some people may not know Arhats, but most of them know Guanyin, because among the Buddhas in the sky, in addition to the goddess of Abu Sharos who plays music, Guanyin is the only female image.

   And the dragon girl in the eight heavenly dragons is not actually a Buddha. In the Lotus Sutra, Manjushri said that she is the daughter of the Dragon King Sojiluo, and the meaning of Sojiluo is the sea, which means that the dragon girl is the daughter of the Dragon King.

All dragons are eaten by Garuda except for the sixteen dragon kings, such as the Dragon King of Sogara and the Dragon King of Nanda, and the Dragon King of Sogara is favored by the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, because it can bring rain and become the twenty-something Avalokitesvara. One of the Eight Congregations.

In fact, Gandharva, who sprinkles auspicious flowers and fragrances, is not a fairy, but a male deity. He and the goddess playing musical instruments are husband and wife, which outlines an illusory and ethereal world of bliss, which has become the desire of many Buddhists for "liberation". "The place to go after.

Juren's "contemporary" wrote a reply. Although it was many years later, he still remembered that he lived in Guanyin Temple not far from Zhenwu Temple on the day of the "accident", but there are also many temples called Guanyin Temple near Shichahai, such as Huitong Temple In the early years, it was called Zhenshui Guanyin Temple, and Haichao Temple was also called Shichahai Guanyin Temple. There are still official records. It was built by the government, as well as privately built and funded. Shichahai said it was named after ten temples. In fact, there are many Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in it.

   Juren took off his decent summer clothes again and put on commoner clothes. Although he once criticized his compatriots for not being able to use their brooms on the first day of the first lunar month, the change of clothes seemed to bring him good luck. Liuhe is much farther than the capital, but Juren was the first to reply to the letter during the same period. Later, he sent another letter, and this time Jingcheng responded quickly, and neither of them received Juren's letter.

  Letters are often lost. Not only letters, but even the scribbles may be lost.

   You don’t have to be distracted by this matter, you can concentrate on the work of your staff. One person cannot do more than one mind, and a country must avoid multi-front warfare. Even if the problems of pirates and coastal defense are serious, the primary problem in the Qing court is the White Lotus Sect. They have no energy and finances, and they sent sailors to exterminate pirates like Kangxi did when he recaptured Taiwan. .

Some people may think that those white lotus believers are ignorant, but the difference between "kingdom" and "overbearing" lies in this. Chinese people advocate education, which is the focus of the kingly way. Chen Hongmou's political achievements in Yunnan are not only Tongshan, but also education and fair trade. However, this kind of educational resources has not been popularized. The vast majority of civilians, including the bannermen in BJ City, are still illiterate. They are most exposed to drama, and these have been edited and edited by Qianlong, and there is not much substantial educational content.

Nezha pulled out the dragon skin of the third prince of the Dragon King, pulled the dragon tendon, and wanted to make a set of armor for his father, but the Dragon King of the East China Sea sued the Heavenly Court. The lives and deaths of the people were threatened, and in the end Li Jing had to hand over Nezha to them.

   Nezha took off the bones and meat and gave it to his parents. If you are born without nourishment, you can pay off your broken fingers.

  Qianlong was only responsible for feeding his people, but he did not educate them. As Mencius said, he was a tyrant who "did his strength and false benevolence", and he must have a great country. It is a father's fault to raise and not teach, but he is a father who pays great attention to the education of his "own" son.

  According to the general historical law, the long-term cooperation must be divided, and the long-term separation must be combined. The Qing Dynasty just won the country at that moment, so that the Ming Dynasty did not fall into the Three Kingdoms, Northern and Southern Dynasties and other separatist eras like the Han and Tang Dynasties.

   This will save a lot of people dying, and people don’t experience that kind of feeling of chaos every day, and they don’t really yearn for peace.

  The weakness and incompetence of the Qing court has been known to the world. Not only the subjects understand it, but foreigners also see it. The Manchus are preventing the intellectual progress of the people. It is very simple for a wise man to rule a group of ignorant and ignorant people.

Not only the Qing court understands this, but other cult leaders also know that the solution requires a lot of financial, human, and material resources, which is not only laborious and slow, but also makes the Manchu emperor face more threats. Not for their own use, but to join the ranks of opponents.

  The emperor can also be deceived. He is also an ordinary human being, and he will get smallpox like ordinary people. At this point, a **** and "Long Live Lord" are equal.

If the eunuchs and palace maids are unable to sneak away, but they are desperate for life, they will choose to throw themselves into the river near Xihuamen and the Yamen of the Internal Affairs Office. In addition, there are those who hang themselves in the imperial garden, which looks elegant and gorgeous in the Forbidden City. The Imperial Garden is the cemetery of the eunuchs. That is to say, if the maid who wants to meet the emperor in the garden and then fly onto the branch to become a phoenix really raises her head, she may see a body of a **** hanging on the branch and fluttering in the wind.

  Emperor Chongzhen was also hanged on the coal mountain. No matter how crazy this belief is, it is essentially similar to the Pox Zan Niangniang Temple. Those who don’t want to die will worship him, and they should look for a “substitute” instead of someone who worships him.

  The worldview and knowledge system of the original rural community did not intersect with the royal family and bureaucracy, but because of the group of eunuchs and palace maids, they lived in a city called the "Forbidden City".

  If the practice of the royal family is to ignore them, it is likely to encounter the situation that the emperor is placed under house arrest by the eunuchs, and the palace maids are assassinated.

   Of course, there are precedents in history. Some people say that it can be prevented. So what about opening the gates of the Forbidden City and letting believers of the White Lotus Sect enter the palace?

  The guards at the gate not only came to half of the capacity, but were also drunk, and the followers of the cult would not write marks on their foreheads like "sheep thieves" to indicate their identities.

   There will not be any nation in Europe that wants to conquer the Celestial Empire for a long time, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi has it, and he has a fatal intention, that is, to convert the Celestial people to Catholicism.

He did not allow the Japanese to believe it, but told the Portuguese priests that the purpose of the conquest was to leave a name for future generations. His goal was to make the Chinese submit to Japan. He himself did not want that territory. After conquering China, he would become Japan. Ordered the establishment of Catholic churches in all of China, ordered all Chinese to convert to Catholicism, and the priests could promote it there. This is also the condition he wants to win the support of the Europeans.

   Unreligious people may be scorned and mocked, they may not understand the real intention expressed by Nick...

   "They need a reason to gather around the kang table to discuss together, and then find an excuse to do it." Georgiana read the sentence out, then looked up at Bonaparte "Why don't you sleep?"

   "I don't need that long sleep," he said arrogantly.

   She looked at this "Corsican monster", no matter how tired he was, he seemed to be able to recover after a short bath.

   "Come here." She patted the sofa beside her. "This book mentions the monster we encountered just now."

   "What monster?"

   "Naga and Garuda," she said with a smile. "But I prefer to call them Fantastic Beasts."
