DAY 395 Immortal art is to drink poison to quench thirst
Chapter 395: The immortal art is to drink poison to quench thirst, so it is so confusing. It is Zhou Gan
"This great immortal treats diseases and wants to expel ghosts and avoid evil. There are three steps: one is to prepare props: a brazier, which produces fire, a dustpan, and a shovel. When expelling ghosts, a person with the patient is the same as the patient. The second is to expel ghosts. When expelling ghosts, the room should be quiet and outsiders should not enter. The third is to expel ghosts after expelling ghosts, the evil spirit should be avoided. The sick person should be given a sharp sword to ward off evil and hang it on the edge of the door frame to avoid evil demons." Empress Dowager Sun told the emperor the story of "Crying Bamboo and Breeding Bamboo Shoots". After hearing this, the emperor also told his mother, Empress Dowager Sun, and Chen Xun taught "Emperor Wen of Han" "Emperor Wen of Han" after listening.
》Story. The emperor told his mother that he was both a filial son and wanted to be a good emperor, a filial mother, a filial grandmother and all the elders in the world, and a wise ruler in the Ming Dynasty. Empress Dowager Sun felt very comfortable when he heard the emperor's words. Here Huai'en came in to report that Wu Yinqin sent someone to find the Great Immortal and treated the Empress Dowager on a lucky day. Empress Dowager Sun arranged everything and came to Yanxi Palace early on the auspicious day. Wu Yinqin led the Great Immortal, and the maid stood on both sides of the living room door. The Great Immortal meditated on the chair of the Grand Immortal, and the two fairy children stood on both sides of the Great Immortal, and the Great Immortal looked at the patient (the Grand Immortal) and said.
"The Empress Dowager is looking for an assistant, I'll go prepare props." Wu Yinqin said and left.
"Fan Shun!" called Queen Mother Sun.
"I am here!" Fan Shun said closer.
"She called Fan Shun and the patient. Can the Great Immortal see?" Queen Mother Sun asked at the Immortal.
"Okay!" The immortal opened his eyes and looked at Fan Shun and said.
"Woman is lying in bed, can she see a doctor?" Empress Dowager Sun saw the costume of a great immortal. Zhu Yu said it was a witch, but her husband did not allow him to talk nonsense. The costume of a great immortal was a witch. The view is no different from Zhu Yu's, and Empress Dowager Sun thought about it and asked.
"The sick person leaned on the back of the chair, held the dustpan with his hands, and pressed it on his head." said the immortal.
"Great Immortal! We are ready, please start?" Wu Yinqin came in and said to the Great Immortal, and Empress Dowager Sun also said to the Great Immortal.
"The gods descend to earth, catch the harming ghosts, hurry up!" Fan Shun called over to the same maid, and helped the Empress Dowager sit in a chair a distance from the bed. The Empress Dowager leaned against the back of the chair and could move his arms to hold the dustpan. The brazier was placed on the ground, and the red and yellow flames flashed in the basin. Fan Shun held a shovel and stood on the side to serve. The maid sorted everything and went out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom with Wu Yinqin and Empress Dowager Sun who were standing on the side. The bedroom door was open. People stood far away to watch. The immortal allowed it, but the viewer was not allowed to make noise or make noise. Empress Dowager Sun and Wu Yinqin stood at the station.
At the door of the bedroom, he looked in the middle like a maid. The two fairy children, like monks, put their hands together and circled around the Empress Dowager three times, and stood firm on the same ground. Is the immortal a nun or a Taoist nun? The nun wore Buddhist beads on the neck, and the Taoist nun held Buddha dust in his hand. The immortal wore Buddhist beads on his neck and held whisks on his hand, which made the Empress Dowager Sun not understand. The immortal was afraid that the Empress Dowager could not help him, so he asked the two fairy children to hold the dustpan on one side, surrounded the Empress Dowager three times, and rushed up and shouted. The immortal also ordered his assistant to hold a shovel and scatter the ash on the fire pit to the dustpan on the patient's head, drove the ghost away with ash, and burned it to death.
"Yeah!" Fan Shun responded and shoveled the ashes in the fire brazier with a shovel and scattered them in the dustpan above the Empress Dowager's head.
"The person at the door dodged, the ghost was driven away, the rest were burned to death, and the sick were to recover!" The immortal shouted loudly inside and outside the bedroom, and then surrounded the Empress Dowager and kept saying, the sound became smaller and smaller, until Empress Dowager Sun could not hear anything clearly.
"Yeah!" The person at the door responded and flashed to the side. Empress Dowager Sun looked at Wu Yinqin and felt scared, as if there was a real ghost.
"Okay! You buried the burned ghost body." The time lasted for half an hour. The Empress Dowager was a little unable to sit still, and the immortal stopped and stood still and said.
"Yeah!" The two fairy boys responded together, took down the dustpan, asked Fan Shun to trolley, and walked out together.
"If the sick are, you can rest in bed." The immortal said with a tired look on his face.
"Can this cure my mother's illness?" Empress Dowager Sun asked Wu Yinqin in a low voice.
"The magic is,
Drinking poison to quench thirst!" Wu Yinqin, like Empress Dowager Sun, was not superstitious about Buddhism. When he was in Yongcheng, he told Empress Dowager Sun. Wu Yinqin said with disdain.
"Idiom Explanation of poison: Legend has it that a poisoned bird can poison people by drinking wine soaked in its feathers. Drinking poisoned wine to quench thirst. It is a metaphor for using wrong methods to solve immediate difficulties without regard to serious consequences. Source: Ge Hong's "Baopuzi": "Take ale to fill hunger, and pour poisoned wine to quench thirst."
.You find the great immortal, don’t talk nonsense!” Queen Mother Sun whispered.
"I'll tell you!" Wu Yinqin whispered.
"You help the Empress Dowager and go to bed to rest!" Empress Dowager Sun waved to the maid and said.
"Yeah!" The maid responded and helped the Empress Dowager lie on the bed. Empress Dowager Sun asked the Daxian to ask the wife and approached the mother. The Empress Dowager looked tired on the chair for half an hour, and lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and it was difficult to open her eyes.
"Take this elixir and the patient will get better." Daxian took a bag of medicine from a small bag and gave it to Fan Shun, and said solemnly. Another maid brought a cup of warm water to help the Empress Dowager take the medicine. The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and lay down. Looking at Wu Yinqin, Empress Dowager Sun didn't know what it felt. The Great Immortal could cure the mother's illness with one go?
"Let's go outside." Daxian shook the whisk and spoke to Empress Dowager Sun and Wu Yinqin out of the bedroom.
"What are the instructions of the great immortal?" Empress Dowager Sun and Wu Yin and Qin followed the great immortal and sat on the living room chair. Wu Yin and Qin asked the great immortal.
"Please put this sword on the sick to avoid evil spirits and hang it on the edge of the door frame and do not move within a hundred days." The immortal took a small wooden sword from the big bag and said to Empress Dowager Sun and Wu Yinqin, and placed it on the tea table.
"How do you ask for this sword?" asked Queen Mother Sun.
"There are ten taels of literary silver, and the number of people is infinite. The spirit speaks sincerely, and those with sincerity will be cured quickly!" After saying that, the immortal sat in the Taishi chair, folded his hands together, closed his eyes and waited for him.
"The burned ghost corpse is buried a hundred steps away." When he came back with the two fairy children, Fan Shun looked at Empress Dowager Sun and Wu Yinqin and said to the immortal.
"Okay!" said the immortal looking at the two fairy children.
"Wen Yin 100 liang, please give the sword to ward off evil spirits, and then Wen Yin 100 liang, and reward the great immortal!" After the Empress Dowager was hemiplegic, he often felt unbearable pain in a certain part of his body, and the pain in his seat was so painful. The maid came out to convey the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager. After taking the pill, the Empress Dowager disappeared instantly. Fan Shun followed the empress dowager's wishes and asked Empress Dowager Sun to agree, and took two hundred liang of silver to the group of three immortals. The Great Immortal left three medicines to make the Empress Dowager sick and only took one pill at a time. He and Wu Yinqin sent the Great Immortal away, Sun
After seeing Wu Yinqin return to Prince Wei's Mansion and arrange the Empress Dowager's affairs, the Empress Dowager returned to Qianqing Palace. The great immortal's method is no different from that of a witch. The witch does this when he does Buddhist rituals for the living aunt. The great immortal's medicine is so effective. Po Yuan said something, but it took him a long time to say it. After taking a meal, the Po said that he would ask for a sword and reward. Queen Mother Sun did not believe in the evil words of the immortal. The immortal asked the gods to catch ghosts, which was a trick to fool people. What food was made of the medicine and took effect, and Queen Mother Sun thought for no reason.
"Mother! I'm back." The emperor rushed in and said to Empress Dowager Sun, who was sitting on the chair.
"You are here very early. The ministers disperse the court. What are you talking about?" The emperor went to the morning court. When Empress Dowager Sun saw the emperor with a very excited expression, she asked with a smile.
"Oh! Without any trouble, Wuzhong is gone!" The emperor looked at Empress Dowager Sun and lamented with regret, with a hint of regret on his face. He simply said the situation in Wuzhong: He resigned in April of the seventh year of Zhengtong (1442 AD). He died of illness two months ago at the age of 70. He was buried ten miles west of Wucheng (now Laocheng Town). The dynasty posthumously granted the title of Chipingbo from Wuzhong and was given the posthumous title of "Rongxiang". Among his descendants, there were those who gave him the title of surname, called Chi. In the four dynasties of Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and Zheng'an, Wuzhong served as Minister of War, Minister of Works, Minister of Justice, Palaces in Ming Dynasty, and Santos (Changling, Xianling, and Jingling) were mostly presided over the construction of the three tombs (Changling, Xianling, and Jingling) in Beijing, leaving a glorious medal of merit in the history of Chinese architecture.
"Wuzhong is a good official." Empress Dowager Sun also looked at the emperor and said with regret.
"Yes." The emperor said in a deep voice.
"What are the gains in the matter of sending troops to Luchuan?" Wang Zhen once had a different opinion from the ministers when the dynasty discussed sending troops to Luchuan. When Empress Dowager Sun remembered this, she asked with a smile on purpose.
"Si Renfa and his son fled to Mengyang, Myanmar. The dynasty only won the tiger talisman, gold medal, and Xuanfu Seal." The emperor thought.
"The army withdrew?" asked Empress Dowager Sun.
"Mr. Wang Zhen, I think it's okay to pursue, they're chasing." The emperor said with thought about something.
"How is Yang Shiqi's illness?" Yang Shiqi heard that his son Yang Ji was arrested and had been ill in bed. Yang Pu and the chief minister were still fine. In front of Empress Dowager Sun, the emperor agreed to execute his son Yang Ji a hundred years later. Empress Dowager Sun was not good at talking about Yang Shiqi's incident. Wang Zhen made the decision to set out, and Empress Dowager Sun was a little uneasy. Yes, one gentleman and one minister. Empress Dowager Sun had to adapt to it? Empress Dowager Sun thought of Yang Shiqi and asked casually.
"The condition worsens, and Yang Shiqi cannot do things. Zhou Gan is from Yongcheng, and his mother said that," said the emperor.
"Zhou Gan?" asked Empress Dowager Sun.
"Yes." said the emperor.
"He is back?" After the dynasty issued an imperial edict that day, calling on the subjects to launch a call for both loyalty and filial piety in the court and the public, Wang Zhen, Bingbi, wrote a letter to Zhou Gan in his reputation as Queen Mother Sun, and advised him to turn back to justice to become a good official who is loyal to both worlds. Zhou Xiaoniu reported the information, but Zhou Gan ignored the letter and did not go home. When Empress Dowager Sun heard about Zhou Gan, she asked in shock.
"My wife ran away, I'll send me a letter. Zhou Gan was a highly valued official during the Hongxi period. In a few years, Zhou Gan became degenerate?" Emperor Jing walked up in the living room, thinking about it and asked in confusion.
"What did anyone say?" asked Queen Mother Sun.
"So you are confused and can't be confused. It's Zhou Gan! The idiom is obsessed with the meaning of the meaning, insisting on mistakes but not realizing it, and it is also written as "So you are confused and can't be confused and can't be reversed". The words are from the Tang Yuanzhen's "Recruitment and Discussion System"." The emperor said.
"Is that true?" Queen Mother Sun really wanted to scold Zhou Gan and asked.
"His brother-in-law Xiao Si went to Guizhou to find him, but he didn't know how to find him. Guizhou governor and envoy him..." The emperor talked about the reason for impeaching Zhou Gan: he absent from work for no reason, did not abide by discipline, did not tell his family, asked for money from concubines or friends, and did not repay any money in the future. He stayed away from his family to hide his debts, did not want to see others, and acted mysterious and sneaky. His face was dark, his eyes were dull, his body was thin, and his emotions were unstable. He was extremely angry and went to remote places alone... In short, he became an alternative person!
"Have he returned to Beijing?" asked Empress Dowager Sun.
"Someone saw it. Zhou Gan went to the capital and was looking for a great immortal!" The emperor said angrily.
"He is looking for a great immortal to treat his mother?" Zhou Gan's mother was still slumped in the bed. If she wanted to treat his mother, the imperial court would be exempted from the impeachment of the governor. When Empress Dowager Sun heard about this, she asked on purpose.
"He has that kind intention? Two concubines from Guizhou went to the General Administration to sue him and never go home all day. This is how the memorials in Guizhou are written; let's take a look!" The emperor said as he found two books of Queen Mother Sun who handed them to his mother from a stack of memorials on the tea table. Queen Mother Sun felt a chill in his heart as he looked at it. Zhou Gan was a child from a poor family. He became a minor official for more than ten years. The memorial said that in the second and third years of Zhengtong, a great immortal was also treated by Zhou Gan once in Guizhou. Zhou Gan later gradually became like this. The great immortal is this great immortal. There are also memorials in other places, and he mentioned this immortal who treats people. Queen Mother Sun also reads such memorials. During the years when the great immortal walked north, he saw people while walking, and then went to the capital. Why did Zhou Gan come to the capital to find the great immortal?
