In 200 AD, Sun Wu was in the Temple of Heaven, and all the immortals failed him. The Jade Emperor asked Buddha and Bodhisattva to surrender him and put him at the foot of Wuxing Mountain. Five hundred years later, Fang was rescued from the west by Tang Sanzang. Guanyin Bodhisattva passed Wuxing Mountain on the way to China to learn Buddhist scriptures, and saw the living condition of macaques: their mouths can talk, but their bodies can't move.
Surprisingly, in the real world, things like stone monkeys are crushed. Written in the Ming Dynasty, this miracle happened in the Ming Dynasty. The protagonist is a court official named Chen Huan.
Chen Huan, from Panyu, is the author of The Journey to the West (162). During the Jian 'an period of Yongle, he took his hometown people to school, where he was appointed as an official of the Ministry of Punishment. This man was born an official, especially incorruptible, and showed no mercy to the accused officials. Chen Ao has another feature: whenever he tells the time, his voice is high, full of breath and as loud as a bell. The emperor once ordered him to be hungry for a few days, but the leopard had to change his spots. In desperation, the emperor sighed and called him a great scholar.
Hungry for a few days, he is not afraid. For officials, the impeachment chapter is still unscrupulous; For the emperor, persuasion and refutation are still fierce. Once, because his words and deeds were contrary to the above intentions, Ming ordered him to conquer Fengtianmen and show the first one. Kancha is a cave used to bury livestock, jade and silk in ancient times. In other words, the emperor ordered him to be buried outside Fengtianmen, only showing his head. The situation is very similar to the Monkey King being crushed by Wuxing Mountain: your mouth can talk, but your body can't move!
The Monkey King is a fairy. Without me, he has been squeezed for 500 years, and Chen Huan is a mortal. Under normal circumstances, if a person doesn't eat or drink, he will stick to it for a few days at most, and Chen Ao is buried in the pit. He can talk, but he can't move. How many days can he live in this situation? -Chen Huan lasted for a week; Winning for seven days won't kill you.
Chen Ao is in good health! It also shows that he has a strong will. Being immortal for seven days, the emperor thought it was providence, forgiving it and rewarding it. Hunger and burial, it's time for Chen Ou to remember, isn't it? Isn't it? No, soon he angered the emperor again.
This time, instead of starving him or burying him, the emperor punished him for repairing the elephant's room. For others, people have to pay for similar things. Chen Wei has no money, so he has to do it himself. Fortunately, the emperor happened to pass by at work. Have pity on him and order me to return to my post.
The sixth son of Renzong's uncle Zhu Yuanzhang was banished to Haiyan County.
Then he went to a palace with a long history, and Xuande worked in Zhenjiang for three years. In contrast, Chen Ao's performance is not as good as that of the Monkey King and Monkey King, and he has finally made a positive result through hard work; Chen Ao, who has both ability and political integrity, did not retire from the temple, but withdrew from the Jianghu. Happy or sad?
Sadness is inevitable. Reading many stories of officials in the early Ming Dynasty is often a kind of sadness hanging over people's heads. However, there is also happiness. Under the pressure of imperial power in the early Ming Dynasty, it is a miracle that a figure like Chen Huan can have a happy ending.
Later generations are more sorry for Chen Ao. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tan Qian quoted others as saying: The frankness and simplicity of Chen Gong Xiahou's A Narrow Death should be in the emperor's heart, but he didn't call because he didn't. I don't like to rule. What a pity!
