[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

Speaking of Ziyun Nunnery in Yicheng, similar situations have emerged in temples and nunneries in other places, but because of the inconvenience of ancient information transmission and communication, it was only fermented and spread within the local area, and it did not spread too far.It is also because the local officials heard about this kind of unknown matter, worried that it would affect their official career and performance, and did not report it for the time being. They wanted to see the situation first and see if it could be resolved in private.None of them thought that this kind of incident was not an isolated case, but rather a pattern of blooming everywhere. It happened one after another in the whole Daqi, and it was impossible to cover it.

Right now, the affairs of Buddhism are not in a hurry, and we have to wait a little longer.After dinner, the emperor was not in a hurry to go back to the palace, and followed him to the Imperial Hospital, wanting to see with his own eyes what Jiang Yingrong was doing with the leading cow back.

"Emperor Li, does Da Qi have any research on the prevention of smallpox?" Jiang Yingrong asked.

"Only Mr. Sun, a famous doctor in the former dynasty, proposed the method of planting human pox, but this idea is too bold. It needs to contact people with acne serum or scabs to infect them. If they can heal themselves, they will not be infected again. Smallpox. But the method of planting is no different from deliberately infecting smallpox, and the risk is too high, so I dare not try it on a large scale." Li Taiyi replied.

"When Pindao was cultivating in the teacher's school, he accidentally read a miscellaneous note, which contained the method of preventing smallpox. It is similar to what Li Taiyi said, but it is extremely less risky than human pox, and it will not cause life. threaten."

The two chatted and came to the old cow. The old cow was grazing leisurely with its tail flicking. It should be prepared by the medicine boy of the imperial hospital.

"Doctor Li, please take a look, are the things on this old cow very similar to smallpox acne?" Jiang Yingrong pointed to the densely packed acne on the side of the old cow's buttocks.

With such a reminder, Imperial Physician Li put on a serious look, and carefully went to Lao Niu to inspect it carefully. Even the emperor and King Yong didn't mind the smell and went to inspect it.

Before Imperial Physician Li replied, the emperor nodded and spoke first: "It is indeed similar to the acne I had when I was young."

"Your majesty has good eyesight. The sores on cows are called cowpox. It is the way to prevent smallpox." The emperor was bored for a while, Jiang Yingrong accepted and sent a small horse fart.

"Is this true?" Imperial Physician Li was the first to confirm excitedly.

"Naturally there is no half-truth, Imperial Physician Li will know it once you try it. Besides, you heard what the old farmer said this morning, even if a person is infected, it will heal itself in a few days." Jiang Yingrong was so sure, and let Imperial Physician Li see Lao Niu His gaze instantly became hot, as if looking at a big baby, with surprise, kindness, and relief in his gaze, the old cow tensed all over, and quietly moved to the side, trying to avoid this eager gaze.

"Hahaha, it's so simple, it's so true that you helped a lot." The emperor laughed loudly. At first he thought that the method of prevention must be extremely complicated, and the materials needed might not be so easy to find, but it turned out that he couldn't find it after breaking through the iron shoes. It takes a lot of effort to get along, as long as the so-called cowpox is enough, everyone in Daqi will be able to get cowpox very soon. As long as the effect is good, smallpox will no longer be a threat within ten years, maybe within five years.

"The emperor's absurd praise is not due to poor people." Jiang Yingrong felt that she was just a mouthpiece and did not claim credit.

"A real person doesn't need to be humble, without your guidance, how could there be such a blessing for the people." King Yong followed with a group of praises.

"That's a good statement." The emperor quite agreed.

"Father, my son has an unfeeling request, and I hope my father will grant it."

"Oh~~, tell me." It was the first time that the fourth child begged him, and the emperor felt that as long as there was no embarrassment, he could still agree.

"Chengwang can turn the crisis into safety by relying on the help of real people. Yongwang's mansion can't repay him. My son wants to let Chengwang worship three times and nine times. Serving the left and right by my side, I owe this life-saving grace." King Yong bowed and begged the emperor.In ancient times, there was a saying that being a teacher for one day and being a father for life, this made Chengwang respect Jiang Yingrong as an elder.

The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile, "You shouldn't ask me for my opinion on this matter, you should ask Taizhen if he would like to accept Chengwang as a disciple." The emperor didn't mind, Jiang Yingrong had already told her before No one else in the world can practice this skill, so the emperor is not afraid of raising a powerful grandson.If it is possible to accept an apprentice, it will indirectly deepen the relationship with the royal family. As a master, he must give some benefits to his disciples, and the one who benefits is his own family.Besides, if he really became a master, it would be easier for him to speak some words in the future. What reason would he have to stop things that are more beneficial than harmful.

With the emperor's approval, King Yong asked Jiang Yingrong's opinion: "My real man, I wonder if Chengwang has this kind of blessing?"

"Chengwang Pindao likes it very much, but my master has ordered that only female disciples can be accepted. I am afraid that I will disappoint King Yong's kindness." Jiang Yingrong made up a reason, and I am afraid that after opening her mouth, she will not stop. Even if King Yong didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to thank himself for saving Chengwang's life, but other people couldn't be sure, because he had too many twists and turns, and Jiang Yingrong didn't want to mess with him for nothing. Please take the trouble to waste your tongue.

King Yong felt regretful, but he didn't show it on his face, and he didn't force it. He just sighed, "Chengwang doesn't have this blessing." But he still made up his mind that even if Jiang Yingrong didn't accept disciples, he still had to teach Chengwang Respect and be filial to him as a master.And sincerely hope that in the days to come, every word and deed will deeply practice the teachings of King Yong. If it is not a little far away, then I can’t wait to say hello sooner or later, and see you every day. Day or day never stops.

The emperor went out of the palace for a trip, not only to relax, but also to solve a major matter on his mind, and went back to the palace contentedly.Regarding the follow-up of cowpox, it is natural that the Tai Hospital will take the lead, and the emperor only needs to issue orders when necessary, so that all parties can cooperate.

With Jiang Yingrong as the guarantor, everyone was quite convinced about the vaccination, so the promotion of vaccination from the families of officials to the common people went smoothly.Although the common people don't know that there is a great god behind this incident, but the emperor personally issued an edict to vaccinate the whole country. In this era of supremacy of the monarchy, of course, they all actively cooperate. Besides, it is to avoid a big disaster in their hearts, which is a matter of life. .

The cowpox was in full swing, and the emperor was very pleased with the praise and praise from the people.And the scandals on the Buddhist side also broke out one after another, and the various places could no longer hide it, so they had to go to the urgent report to report the matter to the emperor.

Originally, because the emperor was in a good mood for many days, the atmosphere in the early court was quite harmonious, but because of the Buddhist affairs, today's court hall is like a sudden cold wind blowing from Siberia. It is inexplicably cold in the hot weather like being in an ice cellar .

"Okay, that's really good. It's really true that I'm not good at sex. All my lovers, take a look and see what these Buddhist disciples who are dignified and full of benevolence and righteousness have done?" Fortunately, I was mentally prepared, otherwise I would be very angry today. Feeling dizzy, the emperor threw more than a dozen memorials on the royal case into the center of the hall, then copied his hands and waited quietly for everyone present to read them one by one.

The senior ministers standing in the front line first picked up the memorial and flipped through it. The content inside became more and more shocking, and some even couldn't help shaking their fingers in anger.

"Isn't this a trick to sell dog meat?"

"This, this is really disgusting..."

"This group of killers are so reckless about human life..."

"I have learned a lot today. Don't they all say that my Buddha is merciful? This is comparable to an evil ghost."

"It's an insult to the gentleman, it's an insult to the gentleman..."

"Unsightly, unsightly..."

……

After the adults in the front had finished watching, they passed it on to the back one by one. After watching it, everyone was either filled with righteous indignation, or looked up to the sky and sighed.

The quarrel lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, but it didn't stop. Instead, it became more and more intense. They were arguing over how to deal with this matter, and they almost got into a fight.

Some said: "Buddhist scum like this should all be arrested, those who should be locked up, those who should be killed, and those who should be killed must not be tolerated. It is best to clean up all of them and leave no one behind."

Some said: "Daqi Temple has tens of thousands of Buddhist halls, large and small, and has always been famous outside. Many people have worshiped. These should be an example. We must act cautiously and not be extreme, so as not to arouse public anger."

He also said: "This incident is full of weirdness. It may be that the Buddha himself couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent down the punishment. The wicked will be dealt with by God. It's better to wait and see the changes for later effects. Don't be a fairy." Anyone who fights will suffer.”

......

If the public says that the public is right and the wife says that the old woman is reasonable, the quarrel is out of control.

What exactly was written on the memorials?It turns out that the accidents in the temples in various places are not only the Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas enshrined, but also the monks and nuns in the temples who violated the precepts were exposed.

For example, in the Ziyun Nunnery in Yicheng, except for the young nuns who have just bought it and have not been polluted or the victims who have been coerced and have to obey, all the nuns in the nunnery who take the initiative to participate in the incident are labeled with the word "prostitution" on their faces.The big "obscene" character is attached to the face like a brand. The most important thing is that the nuns who committed crimes in the nunnery don't know it. They can't tell that they have been marked. Outsiders can see it.

Originally, most of the pilgrims did not believe when the Buddha statue in Ziyun Nunnery mutated at the beginning, and felt that someone deliberately slandered it behind the scenes.And because the change in the expression of the Buddha statue did not happen in a day, it was gradually revealed. Some people who had heard about the advanced nunnery's confirmation did not see much change.

Later, when the host of Ziyun Nunnery found out that something was wrong, he found an excuse to close the door to thank the guests and closed the door, so that the outside world could not see the true appearance of the Bodhisattvas.

The mutation in the temple is concealed for the time being, but there are many nuns in the nunnery, and there are mundane things such as daily purchases, and of course there is a secret skin and meat business, and they always have to travel outside.It's fine if you don't go out, but you will be shocked when you go out.There is a big word "obscenity" on his face, and he can fold his hands together and look normal, with a benevolent look, especially if he walks around the busy street, the whole city knows about it.But it's true that the outside is not the same as the inside, the surface is pure and noble, but the inside is lewd. It is an eye-opener.

It would be fine if there were only one or two nuns, but I saw more than a dozen nuns with the same appearance, especially a group of four or five nuns who went out together, with the same expressionless expression on their faces, and the same word "kinky" on their heads. The font, the size, and the color are exactly the same, as if carved out of a mold.Looking at the clothes again, the bright sign is a nun from Ziyun Nunnery, and this time it exploded.
