How long does it take to go from heaven to hell? For Huang Jin, it only took a few breaths. Just now, when Emperor Jiajing read Yan Song's memorial, he chuckled. Huang Jin felt that the world was beautiful after the rain. But now, when Emperor Jiajing read Zhu Ping'an's memorial, he chuckled three times, which made Huang Jin feel like he was falling into hell.
As Huang Jin was trembling with fear waiting for the storm to come, his resentment towards Zhu Ping'an reached its peak. He thought to himself that he was really blind to have such high hopes for this kid Zhu Ping'an.
Huang Jin now wanted to open Zhu Ping'an's head to see what Zhu Ping'an was thinking at that time. Why would he present such an article as kneeling before Buddha for three thousand years to the emperor!!!
I am most afraid of the air suddenly becoming quiet...
Since His Majesty shook his head and sneered, the bedroom has become quiet. Huang Jin, who was trembling with fear as he waited for the storm, trembled every second...
There was once a story about two people living upstairs and downstairs. Every night the person downstairs had to hear the sound of the person upstairs taking off his boots before he could fall asleep peacefully. One night, the person upstairs only heard the sound of one boot falling to the ground, and as a result, he could not sleep all night because he was waiting for the sound of the second boot falling to the ground all night.
At this moment, Huang Jin was like the person downstairs waiting for his boots to fall to the ground.
A few more seconds passed.
finally.
The second shoe that Huang Jin had been waiting for finally dropped.
"Zhu Ping'an is a very brave boy..." The Emperor Jiajing's words came from above Huang Jin's head.
After hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, Huang Jin agreed with him. That's right. Zhu Ping'an, who could write "Kneeling before the Buddha for 3,000 years", was not only bold, but also extremely courageous! !
Next Steps
It must be the storm from Emperor Jiajing. I just don’t know if Zhu Ping’an can withstand the emperor’s wrath.
Huang Jin, who was familiar with Emperor Jiajing's character, thought so.
However, what happened next was somewhat beyond Huang Jin's expectations, and the emperor did not suffer a million deaths in his rage.
"Zhu Ping'an's writing was okay in the beginning, but the latter part was a bit too violent. However, after all, he is young and frivolous, and he needs to be polished or cultivated more in the future..."
Emperor Jiajing cursed with a smile, then handed Zhu Ping'an's notebook to Huang Jin. He became full of energy, completely dispelling the gloom of the morning and afternoon.
Is the writing okay
Does it need more polishing in the future
etc.
Your Majesty, are you sure you are reading Zhu Ping'an's essay?! Kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years, is this considered good writing? He has been kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years, if you polish it a little more, then he will have to kneel before the Buddha for thirty thousand years?!
After hearing what Emperor Jiajing said, Huang Jin was suddenly confused and his mind was full of disbelief, as if a flock of crows were flying over his head... He even wondered if Emperor Jiajing was confused by Zhu Ping'an's article.
Zhu Ping'an has been kneeling in front of the Buddha for three thousand years, so there is no reason why he could get comments from the emperor such as "the writing is okay", "needs more polishing", or "maybe it can be completed".
Therefore, when Huang Jin took the question book handed over by Emperor Jiajing, he boldly looked up at Emperor Jiajing.
Well
What happened?!
What Huang Jin saw was Emperor Jiajing, smiling, full of energy and in high spirits. The listlessness and gloomy look he had in the morning and afternoon were completely gone, and he suddenly became full of energy.
Huang Jin was completely stunned. This scene was so unbelievable that Huang Jin couldn't believe his eyes.
Just now, when His Majesty was reading Yan Song's memorial, there was only a slight curve at the corners of his mouth, and the haze on his face was still there, but with a hint of healthy redness; but now, the smile on His Majesty's face can't be concealed, the corners of his mouth are big, the haze is gone, and he looks energetic and full of spirit.
Does that mean that Your Majesty is like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao suffered from migraine. When the disease flared up, he read Chen Lin's anti-enemy manifesto in which he cursed three generations of his ancestors. Cao Cao felt horrified and broke out in a cold sweat. The migraine that had not been cured by medicine or acupuncture suddenly got better. He could not help but jump up and happily said to his attendants, "This has cured me."
Could it be that Zhu Ping'an's article title also has this effect, and His Majesty was so angry that his whole body was clear? !
However, looking at His Majesty's genuine smile and his energetic face, he doesn't look like he is angry.
Based on Huang Jin's understanding of Emperor Jiajing, he was not a person like Cao Cao. When Emperor Jiajing was angry, he would even beat the empress.
Not to mention little Zhu Pingan.
Especially after His Majesty took elixirs in recent years, his temper has become much more irritable than before.
This is not normal!
Very abnormal!!!
Full of doubts, Huang Jin was a hundred times more cautious than ever before. He respectfully took Zhu Ping'an's question book from Emperor Jiajing with both hands and slowly opened it. When he opened the question book, Huang Jin's hands could not help but tremble.
"Kneeling before the Buddha for three thousand years..."
The first sentence of the question book was exactly the same sentence Huang Jin had just seen. When Huang Jin saw this sentence, his heart couldn't help but rise to his throat.
"I have not seen the Buddha's heart pity me..."
Um
When he saw the second sentence, Huang Jin's heart, which had risen to his throat, slowly dropped a little. This sentence implied a turning point. Feeling a little more at ease, Huang Jin looked down again.
"It's not that the dust is covering the Buddha's eyes, it's that we haven't offered incense money."
When Huang Jin saw this sentence, his heart was completely relieved. This sentence brought about a complete turning point, clarifying Zhu Ping'an's point of view of suppressing Buddhism. In order to suppress, one must first praise. Zhu Ping'an used this trick very suddenly. He first raised Buddhism very high, and then dropped it heavily. As the saying goes, the higher you raise it, the heavier it will fall.
hehe
Zhu Ping'an, this kid really deserves a beating. It would have been better if he had written it like this earlier. He has made me worry in vain for so long!
"If the Buddha is not greedy, why does he need people to worship him? If the Buddha does not seek fame and fortune, why does he need people to kneel down to him?"
When seeing this sentence again, Huang Jin couldn't help but want to shout out loud for Zhu Ping'an. This sentence was really well said. He is worthy of being the top scholar. He has a unique vision and sharp perspective. He holds the pen like a sword and hits the mark.
It is so true. If the Buddha is not greedy, why would he allow people to worship him, pay for incense, and build a golden statue? If the Buddha is not vain, why would he allow people to kneel down and worship him
I have been very talented since I was young, and I have high aspirations. Others carry swords, but I have a pen like a knife. This poem by a child prodigy really suits Zhu Ping'an.
Huang Jin had not been deeply touched by the ancient saying that the pen of a scholar is like a knife before, but after reading this, Huang Jin felt that the ancient saying was so right. The pen of a scholar is really like a knife, and it is much more powerful than a knife.
