President's Legendary Master

Everyone looked down patiently, and even Secretary Xiao Xia became energetic.

The prodigal son of the Zhang family hurried back to the capital on the grounds that he was not feeling well and did not go to the funeral after taking the things. Others thought he was filial.

After Zhang Jizong was buried, someone succeeded to the position of celestial master, but according to the custom, he had to observe filial piety for three years before he could go to Beijing to ask for the title.

In fact, keeping filial piety for 24 months is enough.

The funeral of the ancient people was very troublesome, and the more famous people were, the more troublesome it was. Zhang Jizong's funeral took more than a month to complete.

For a period of time after the death of a loved one, it is necessary to practice abstinence in many areas of life to express condolences and thoughts for the loved one.

This is mourning.

The etiquette of mourning is stricter for filial sons.

In ancient times, a filial son had to live in mourning for three years.Why is it three years?Because according to the custom, children do not leave their mother's arms for three years after birth, therefore, after the death of their parents, a filial son should mourn for three years as a reward.

There will be many small etiquettes in the three years, with many etiquettes and strict requirements.

And the celestial masters of the Zhang family are all hereditary successors. If the successor celestial master wants to show more respect to the previous celestial master, it will be even more troublesome. After all the etiquettes, half a year has passed!

In addition, it took more than a month to hold the celestial master's succession ceremony, and then it was winter, and the observance of filial piety began to count the days.

If you put it all together, it really has been more than two years and almost three years.

But just after the new year, and before the beginning of spring, the capital rushed to report the funeral, and the prodigal son died!

The cause of death was very mysterious, and the visitor only said that he died of a sudden illness. The emperor was very sad, and because there was some unrest in the Changchun Garden, he asked his successor, Zhang Tianshi, to come to Beijing as soon as possible.

Although the successor Zhang Tianshi said that it was inconvenient for him to travel because of his filial piety, but the person who came here was very sincere and said that the meaning of Long Live Lord was that they were all outsiders, the big deal was that I "took love".

The emperor's "capture of love" is actually to reduce the grief during the mourning period.

That is to say, if you keep filial piety for three years, if the emperor issued an imperial decree to seize love, you may need to keep filial piety for 30 days.

Duoqing is also called Duoqing Qifu, which is an extension of the ancient Dingyou system, which means that you don’t have to leave your job and work in plain clothes if you take away your filial piety for the country, but you don’t participate in auspicious ceremonies.

Duoqing is rare, because it is a way of seizing filial piety, but it often happens to soldiers on the battlefield, and the Dingyou system should not be used on the battlefield.

The ancients said, "Don't avoid the affairs of the Jinge", which means that all good filial piety comes first, and the affairs of the Jinge are not avoided.

But Zhang Tianshi is not a general, so he can win love?

In ancient times, in order to cope with various situations, a relatively complete Duoqing system was established in the Tang Dynasty. "Duoqing" can legally disobey the etiquette system, but Duoqing is rare after Tang Xuanzong.

In the Ming Dynasty, Duoqing was clearly regulated. Officials, big and small, inside and outside Ding You, were not allowed to play Duoqing to recover.In the seventh year of Ming Yingzong's orthodoxy, it was ordered that all officials who hide their funerals will be sent to the people of origin.

Civil officials in the Ming Dynasty were mostly political figures such as cabinet ministers, ministers, and ministers.

Some people are greedy for official position and power or consider work, so they use various means to seek love.

But the ancient filial piety is not a joke. No matter what kind of way of seduction, it will involve ethics and even be attacked.

Zhang Juzheng, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, became a taint in his life and a turning point in his political career. It became the handle behind which he was attacked by many political opponents.

In the Qing Dynasty, because the minority nationalities entered the customs, the Manchus sat in the country. In order not to let the Han people all over the world say that they did not understand etiquette, justice, and shame, the Manchu emperors were even more strict with themselves.

At the same time, it also strictly requires the ministers.

In some aspects of etiquette, it is simply excellence.

It is said that "many people are more polite", but in fact it is a pathological requirement for oneself to abide by those so-called "rules".

To put it bluntly, Duoqing means depriving people of their natural feelings.

In ancient times, officials who suffered from the death of their parents had to resign and stay at home to observe their filial piety. This was called Ding You.

But the imperial court is inseparable from ministers and important officials, so what should we do?Just order him not to leave his post, to work in plain clothes, and not to participate in auspicious ceremonies; or he should be summoned by the court before the expiration of the guarding period, which is also called recovery from emotion.

But the key point is that Zhang Xilin, the celestial master who succeeds him, is the eldest son of Zhang Jizong, who inherits the celestial master's lineage. It is a legitimate thing to be a celestial master, but this successor celestial master is only 12 years old!

After the new year, he was only 13 years old, and he was still a young boy. He was reading "Three Religions on the Same Path", "Jindan Distinguishes Confusion" and "Yuwu Poetry Collection" written by his great-grandfather.

After seeing this "celestial master", the visitors were also dumbfounded!

He thought that the next celestial master must at least be an adult, but it turned out to be a 13-year-old boy, what can he do?

He came happily and left dejectedly.

Even though the Zhang family gave Cheng Yi a lot, they couldn't be happy.

After returning to the capital, I don't know what happened in the capital, okay, the royal family is not going well, the political situation is turbulent, and people are beheaded at Caishikou every day.

Three years later, when the young celestial master was about to come to Beijing to ask for a seal, he suddenly fell ill again. He suffered from chickenpox, then smallpox, and then got injured. The delay lasted for more than five years until Yongzheng ascended the throne. emperor.

The children of the Zhang family in the middle of the capital sent back news that they invited the Celestial Master to come to the capital. Only then did the Zhang family know what happened in the capital.

They knew what the prodigal son stole, but they didn't expect that he tore off the outer layer of silk gold unluckily!

Silk gold is a Chinese word that first refers to the gift money given at a funeral.

Because people’s life was not rich in the past, relatives and friends had funerals at home, and those who attended the funeral would send some money in a single amount to help relatives and friends pay for the funeral. In addition to expressing their hearts to the dead, they also practically help the living people.

The money put in the white envelope is "silk money".

"Silk" is the general term for silk fabrics, which were valuables in ancient times, and "Caibo" means money in general.

In the Han Dynasty, there were many times of bartering and less time of spending "money", and at that time, the silk woven by the women of the house could also be used as money.

In ancient times, if someone had a funeral, they could take a piece of white silk and treat it as a gift of money.

Therefore, the outside of the Sifang Samsara demon bone jar was originally wrapped with a circle of golden silk gold to show the respect of the heavenly master to the great demon.

Although you are dead, I still remember you.

That's what I mean.

In that era, golden silk gold was very valuable, and it was also mixed with gold silk embroidery thread. This thing could only be used with the permission of the emperor.

But more than 1000 years!

Even the silk gold woven with gold silk is now eclipsed. When the prodigal son took it away, he didn't look at it carefully. Didn't look too closely at that baby.

The ancient people really had a long time to celebrate the festival. They have celebrated the festival since they were young, until February [-], when they finished eating the pig's head meat.

But Emperor Kangxi's birthday is March [-]th. According to ancient rules, Longevity Day has been officially celebrated since March [-]th.

The emperor's birthday is called "Longevity Festival", and the queen's birthday is called "Qianqiu Festival".

After the new year, the preparations started, and it took nearly a month to finish the work. At this time, the courtiers began to send things to the palace.

If it is delivered on the same day, there are probably a lot of people queuing up, what a delay?

So some people gave gifts to the palace in advance, not to mention not only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but also the vassal states who came from afar, especially the grassland tribes are as numerous as stars, they also come to join in the fun, even if they receive thirty tribes a day , the gifts also need to be counted, it will take time!

Those with few gifts are fine, but those with many gifts can only receive ten tribes a day.

So everyone went to give gifts in advance, so as not to increase the work pressure on the people in the palace. The prodigal son of the Zhang family was the one who gave gifts in advance. Can, and found that this clay pot is really magical, and the seals on it are all golden!

There are also Chinese characters on it.

The font is atmospheric and beautiful.

He didn't remove it, but the silk gold around it was indeed taken away, and he put the things in a mahogany box, and happily sent them to the palace.

Fortunately, he was sent away on the same day, otherwise he would have died that day.

After the things were sent away, he continued to live as if nothing had happened. On the Longevity Day, it was indeed a lively day, and the things he sent were indeed favored by the Lord Long Live. In a word, he was overjoyed.

But this excitement disappeared within a few days!

The reason is that the things he sent made Long Live Lord like them, especially the word "seal" on it, which was made of gold ink!

At that time, gold ink had disappeared.

Lord Kangxi loves to write, and he also loves the words on it, so he had someone seal it up, and only then did he see that the jar was also the kind that had no openings on both sides.

At that time, the prodigal son of the Zhang family explained that it was a sealed wine jar, which contained fine wine from the Han Dynasty to the present.

I guess it's all wine cream?

Having said that, Emperor Kangxi was even happier, and even rewarded him with two jars of Royal Wine Huiquanbai.

As a result, on that night, there was a strong wind in the Changchun Garden, and it was snowing in March. The strange thing is that it was not very far from the capital, and it was a peaceful night in the capital.

In Changchun Garden, there is constant wind and snow, and there is still a foul smell.

At the beginning, no one cared, but then it stopped. The spring is just right in other places, and the flowers in the greenhouse even withered overnight!

Some palace maids also said that they saw a huge black shadow plate on the Huabiao column, and there were two red ones. I don't know if they were lanterns or...eyes?

It's scary to say!

It was dark in the Changchun Garden, and the maids and eunuchs who were free did not dare to go out.

There is no longer the atmosphere of the first garden on earth in the past.

In his later years, Lord Kangxi almost lived in Changchun Garden. This Changchun Garden was his life's painstaking effort. How could he tolerate Changchun Garden with such a beautiful scenery and become a place of ghosts and ghosts?

So he summoned Qin Tianjian to come over to see what's going on?

This person felt that there was a demon causing trouble, and he wanted to exorcise the evil spirits, but he just put on a magic altar, and the person twitched.

Foaming at the mouth, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up. After a while, he was carried out of the Changchun Garden. When he got home, he was still panting, but he couldn't even utter a word. After a while, it took him half an hour. , People are gone!

Why is it recorded in such detail?

Because at that time there were other members of the Zhang family who were loyal to the family and lived next to him in the capital.

After receiving the letter from the family, he has been secretly monitoring this fellow and superior, and all words and deeds have not escaped the eyes of the Zhang family.

Qin Tianjian died, Jian Zheng, and the young prisoner, but the young prisoner also died!

Another young supervisor and supervisor will die!

Changed three in one breath, each ending in death.

In addition, the sons of Lord Kangxi were about to move around, which made Lord Kangxi exhausted. Fortunately, at this time, a master of the Yellow Sect in Buddhism, an old lama named Zhangjia Hutuktuagawang Luobu Sangcheladhan, came to Beijing. He is the largest reincarnated Living Buddha of the Gelug Sect of Lamaism in Mongolia who was conferred the title of Great Master of Enlightening Pushan Guangci in the 45th year of Kangxi.

In 52 years, Emperor Kangxi appointed him to be in charge of the Gelug Sect east of Tibet.

This is a true Buddhist master, a very mysterious Yellow Sect monk.
