Let's talk about a demon monk today, the monks are all fasting and reciting Buddha, purifying sentient beings, but this guy has killed millions of people in a single thought.
In the past two years, we have been recording Mr. Mei Yi's talk about Chinese history, and when we talked about the Yuan Dynasty, we made some sketches about this person.
It is said that after Kublai Khan unified China, he supported Tantra and admired Tibetan Buddhism, and wanted to "soften his people because of his vulgarity", which is just a means of united front.
Because of the respected status and the availability of land, Tibetan monks come to the mainland in an endless stream. During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, an average of 1,000 monks from Tibet came to the interior every year, and in addition to some who were called to do Buddhist work for the imperial family, many of them came to the Central Plains and Jiangnan to sell goods and seek wealth. The huge expenses for their round trip were not only "reimbursed" by the Yuan government, but even the transportation was provided by the Yuan Dynasty government throughout the process.
Due to the huge amount of goods trafficked, countless stagecoaches are killed every year.
What is particularly odious is that many Tibetan monks wear gold-shaped round symbols, travel along the road, gallop and ride hundreds, and the post house cannot accommodate so many people. In addition to being arrogant, they often occupy private houses and rape women, without the slightest hint of Buddhism.
What is ridiculous is that the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, not only the men of the imperial clan were ordained, but also the concubines and the wives and concubines of the noble ministers often extended the emperor's teachers to enter the house to "receive ordination". When the men returned home from the house, they heard that their wives had been ordained, so they closed their doors and did not dare to go in and disturb them. In this way, "ordination" has become an excellent excuse for noble women to commit adultery with monks.
When it was the most arrogant, the Tibetan monks not only dared to snatch people from the prison, but even the princess of the emperor dared to pull off the horse because of the dispute, beating and scolding. After the matter was reported, the Yuan court did not ask.
During the reign of Yuan Wenzong, he also issued a decree that "all the people who beat the Western monks should be cut off; Those who scold will cut off their tongues", and they are extremely protective of Tibetan monks.
Among the monks, Yang Lian Zhenjia, who is also the protagonist of our story, is the most evil.
During the time of Kublai Khan, this person was appointed as the president of the Jiangnan Liberation Capital. This Yang Lian is really gracious, poor and arrogant. His greatest "merit" was to excavate the tombs of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty with the tacit consent of Yuan Shizu. After digging deeply, Yang Lian Zhenjia stole all the treasures in the mausoleum of the Southern Song Dynasty, and then mixed the bones of the emperors together, and buried the dry bones of cattle and horses in the ground, and built a tower on it, which was called the South Tower of the Town.
Moreover, tantric customs, such as the skull of an emperor, are said to be able to get rich from disgust. Therefore, the skulls of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were all dug up by "President" Yang and inlaid with gold and silver as ritual vessels and wine vessels.
Especially the corpse of Zhao Yun of Song Lizong, because of the legend that he has a large night pearl in his mouth. Yang Lian Zhenjia sent someone to hang it upside down on a tree, drain the mercury, and cut through the chest and head to find the big bead. It may be that Song Lizong had a big brain, and it was divided into two, made into a wine vessel, and given to his master Ba Sipa.
In addition to the tombs of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, "President" Yang did not even let go of the tombs of the former ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty. He stole 110 tombs of the Song Dynasty and looted all the treasures to build Buddha statues and bribe Kublai Khan. What's worse is that the bones scattered by the emperor's ministers of the Song Dynasty are gathered together, gathered and buried in Phoenix Mountain in Hangzhou, and a tower is built on it, the tower is more than 40 meters high, named "Zhennan", and the emperor who lives in the Song Dynasty is not allowed to turn over.
During his tenure in Hangzhou, Yang Lian Zhenjia accepted beautiful treasures and stole property, totaling 1,700 taels of gold, 6,800 taels of silver, jade belts, 1 out of 100 jade pieces, 2 out of 50 miscellaneous treasures, 50 taels of large beads, 116,200 ingots of banknotes, 23,000 mu of land, and 23,000 households of people who sheltered civilians without losing to the public (taxes were paid directly to him)...... These "crimes" are only a small part of his greed.
However, the Zhenga, who did not eat and fasted and did all the bad things of the Buddha, was eventually retributed. Six years after robbing the tomb, the prime minister Sang Ge, who was behind the scenes, formed a party for personal gain, and was ordered to be executed by Kublai Khan, and his little follower Yang Lian Zhenjia was raided, but Kublai Khan did not kill him, thinking that the dog was still useful.
Yang Lian Zhenjia was overjoyed and thought that it was the blessing of the Buddha, so he built a Buddha statue on the Feilai Peak in Hangzhou. The Buddha statue is made according to his facial features, and Sister Dan loves that in the Ming Dynasty, he was smashed off his head by the literati Zhang Dai and thrown into the dung pit.
He could hide from the first year of junior high school, but he couldn't hide from the fifteenth, and after a few days, his hands turned black and festered, and what medicine rotted faster. In the end, he died without festering, and was examined and said to have died of corpse poison.
The bizarre thing is that his sidekick has a monk named Yun Ze, who has made a lot of efforts for him to rob the tomb, but his feet are ulcerated, and his strands are ulcerated, and he has fallen to his fingers and died!
Almost more than 80 years after the death of the demon monk, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had also been a monk, captured the capital of Yuan, and Zhu Yuanzhang wore the same pants as the young brother, the founding hero Tang He, rushed into the palace of the Yuan Dynasty to loot treasures, and accidentally found the head of Zhao Yun, who was dusty in a corner.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was very emotional, so he ordered his head to be buried in Yingtianfu with the highest national ceremony. In the second year, he was buried at the site of Yongmu Mausoleum in Shaoxing. It can be regarded as letting Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty who was born at the wrong time, get the dignity he deserves.
