The Manchu and Han Banquets in Qing Dynasty

Worship Buddha, eat Vegetarian food and sleep on a hard bed..."

Zixiu sat next to him, and suddenly laughed: "Zi is not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish? Your Majesty, for people who have no desires and no desires, this kind of life is perfect, and the former Emperor must be like this." people."

Kangxi was stunned, yes, why couldn't he think of such a simple truth?Huang Ama had no desires, and she was too sad when she left the palace. If there is anything worth remembering for him, it must be the days with Concubine Dong E.

But he can't, he can't reach the level of Huang Ama, he has a responsibility for Daqing, and for this responsibility, he needs to keep going.However, fortunately, he met Zixiu, otherwise he would lose himself on the lonely road of the emperor.

The next day, Kangxi went to see Master Huitong, the abbot.The two stayed in the meditation room for a full two hours, and then Kangxi came out with a calm expression.

Hui Tong asked: "Does the Emperor have something to ask the old monk?"

Kangxi said: "Yes."

Huitong asked again: "The emperor is here looking for someone?"

Kangxi said: "Yes."

Huitong closed his eyes, the surroundings were peaceful and peaceful, he only heard him say: "If you have a destiny, you will meet each other, if you don't have a destiny, you will find nothing, your majesty, don't force it."

Kangxi asked: "Then, is there any chance for me and Huang Ama to meet again?"

Huitong counted the beads, smiled kindly, and stopped answering.Kangxi sat on the side without urging, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into meditation.

After a while, the two opened their eyes at the same time. Kangxi said: "Master, fate can also be created. Since I am here, I must do my best to do what I want to do. If I still can't see you in the end, I have nothing to say." explain."

Huitong nodded and closed his eyes again.This is what happened to the two of them in two hours.

After making up his mind, Kangxi asked Zhang Guiqin to lead the way to the small courtyard where Emperor Shunzhi lived.Emperor Shunzhi took his hair to practice, and instead of living in a temple, he built several thatched houses by himself.

The thatched cottage is one kilometer away from the temple. From the small gate of the temple, there is only a winding path leading there. Several people walked along the path, surrounded by birds and flowers, quiet and elegant.

Not long after, the few people arrived at a residence, which was the house of several guardian masters.In order to protect the safety of Emperor Shunzhi, several masters guarded the road leading to the thatched cottage, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.Even the emperor must obtain the consent of the owner of the house to enter.

The emperor was wearing a dragon robe, and several guarding masters recognized him at a glance. Several of them stepped forward to salute, and one of them said: "I don't know if the emperor has lost his way, please forgive me."

Kangxi said: "Those who don't know are not guilty. I want to go in and visit...the master inside, I wonder if I can make it easier?"

The man clasped his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will ask the owner of the house to see if he is willing to see you."

"Then thank you very much." Kangxi stood there waiting with a tall body.Zixiu and Liang Jiugong stood behind him, while Ming Feng and Zhang Guiqin stood further back to protect him.

From his point of view, he can only see the top of the thatched cottage. Judging by the color of the thatched grass, it seems that it has been newly renovated, but it really has a taste of elegance.Even so, Kangxi didn't think such a house would be comfortable to live in.

"I don't know how many years the masters have been waiting here?" Kangxi asked a master.

"No more, no less, exactly ten years." The man smelled like dust, and his beard was all gray.

Ten years, isn't it time for Huang Ama to pass away?It seems that Huang Ama did come here after she faked her death.Kangxi said nothing, just waited quietly.

Not long after, the master who went in before came out, his face was peaceful, no emotion could be seen.

"Master, how is it?" Kangxi asked eagerly.

"Amitabha, please come back, Your Majesty, Master Wuchen said that he has ended his mortal relationship and does not want to see each other again." The man clasped his hands together and made a gesture of seeing off the guest.

"Master Wuchen? Don't want to see each other again?" Although he knew this would happen, he was still very sad when it really came.The person who has been searching for many years is inside, but it is so close.

If there is no dust, but the fate of the world is over, why then set up the tomb of Concubine Dong E's clothes in the back mountain?Huang Ama just wanted to escape from reality, right?Why don't you see him?Could this son of his be inferior to a dead woman?

Maybe it really can't compare, otherwise, why did he leave the country and his relatives and hide here alone?

"Your Majesty, please go back." The man said again.

Kangxi looked at the thatched roof dozens of meters away, stared at it for a moment, then turned and left.

It is fate to meet thousands of miles away, but there is no fate to not meet face to face. Maybe the abbot master is right. They are only tens of meters apart, but they can't see each other.

Zixiu held Kangxi's hand, Kangxi looked at him in surprise, Zixiu said: "Don't give up, we'll come back tomorrow; if the late emperor still doesn't want to meet, we'll come back a day later... until he is willing to see you. "

Kangxi held Zixiu's hand instead, and said, "You're right, if he doesn't see him, I'll just keep waiting."

Liang Jiugong sighed, as expected, Lin Yuchu had a solution.Ming Feng and Zhang Guiqin turned a blind eye, they were just bodyguards, as long as they stick to their duties.

In the evening, Zixiu cooks for the few people himself. It is still vegetarian, but the taste is much better than those made by these monks.At this time, Kangxi didn't care about complaining anymore, he was the one who came here to find his father, and he was the one who came to suffer.

The next morning, as soon as Kangxi walked out of his small courtyard, he met Master Huitong. Master Huitong was as wise and peaceful as ever, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his left hand and making a gesture of Amitabha.

Huitong asked: "The Emperor is going to Master Wuchen?"

Kangxi said: "Yes."

Huitong asked again: "The emperor was there yesterday, Master Wuchen doesn't want to see the emperor?"

Kangxi said: "Yes."

Wisdom Channel: "Fate comes and goes, you can't force it."

Kangxi smiled: "As long as you are sincere, gold and stone can be opened, so there is no need for the master to talk about it."

Huitong moved out of the way, and Kangxi led the crowd along the same path as yesterday.

The laughing road is still quiet, except for the chirping of birds and cicadas, the only sound left is their footsteps.Not long after, the five people came to the place where they were blocked yesterday, and several masters were chanting sutras and Buddhas.

For their arrival, several masters are not surprised.The same person came up yesterday, said the same thing as Kangxi, and then went to ask the owner of the house.

"Your Majesty, please go back. Master Wuchen said that he has converted to Buddhism and will not care about the affairs of the world."

Kangxi said: "Let me take another look, even if it's just the roof." He stood there for a long time, just as he promised, just looking at the thatched cottage silently.

"Your Majesty, the so-called things are only three things. I think that Master Wuchen may meet tomorrow." Zixiu said softly.He suddenly felt very sad, as the emperor sitting on the world, it was so difficult to see his biological father.How many parents in the world want to see their children but can't, but Emperor Shunzhi, his own son's waiting outside is not enough for him to see each other once.

On the way back, everyone was even more silent. Compared with yesterday, today's atmosphere was more than twice as bad.Liang Jiugong didn't dare to show his anger, for fear of offending Long Yan.

In the low pressure and anxiety, everyone ushered in the third day.This time, Kangxi met Master Huitong at the small gate of the temple.

Huitong counted the beads and asked calmly, "Why is the emperor so persistent?"

Kangxi smiled and said, "Isn't the master also persistent?"

Huitong sighed and said, "Amitabha." Then he got out of the way.Everyone was a little surprised, they didn't expect today's question and answer to be so simple.

Kangxi did not leave, but asked: "Master, can I get what I want today?"

Huitong: "The road is ahead, the emperor will know when he goes."

"That's right." Kangxi raised the corners of his lips and walked out.

The author has something to say: Well, should I let father and son meet each other? =

A dish

It was still the trail, and the masters were still waiting, but today, before Kangxi asked a question, the master spoke.

"Master Wuchen ordered that if the emperor comes today, he has a few words that he wants the old monk to convey to the emperor."

Kangxi's expression changed, and he said, "Speak."

"Master Wuchen said: Your Majesty should put government affairs first, so there is no need to come again in the future. He is already a Buddhist, and he doesn't want to leave the mundane world anymore."

Kangxi's complexion changed, and he laughed to himself. The few people were a little puzzled, but they gradually heard how helpless his laughter was.Zixiu looked at him worriedly, feeling sorry for him.

Kangxi didn't say anything, turned around and walked away.

"Your Majesty..." Zixiu stepped forward to pull him, Kangxi's sleeves flicked, and Zixiu almost fell to the ground.

"Amitabha." Several monks recited in unison.

"Liang Jiugong, go and tell them, and leave for the palace immediately!" Kangxi said coldly, but did not stop.Liang Jiugong responded, but he winked at Zixiu.

Zixiu stepped forward to grab Kangxi's hand again, and Kangxi froze and stopped.He looked up at the sky, let Zixiu pull him, and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, let's wait another day. If it's still like this tomorrow, we'll go back." Zixiu said softly.

Kangxi smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter if one more day or one less day, if he is determined not to see me, it won't help even if I stay here forever. Zixiu, if a person doesn't have you in his heart, even if you die for him, he won't care of."

Zixiu hugged him gently, and said, "No, just wait another day, maybe he will change."

After a long time, Kangxi sighed and said "good".

This afternoon, Zixiu locked himself in the room, not knowing what he was doing by himself.Kangxi
