Zhu Yuanzhang went to Shaolin Temple to worship Buddha and asked the abbot if I should kneel down. Do you know what the abbot said to save the whole temple?

In the history of China, the starting point of no emperor can be as low as that of Zhu Yuanzhang, or even as low as. So what brought him to the throne? Relying on the determination to overthrow the tyrannical Yuan Dynasty, relying on the courage to walk the line, relying on the bold nature, relying on the domineering of the king. As he wrote in the poem "Chanting Chrysanthemum": I don't send flowers when flowers bloom. If I do, I'll be scared to death. To fight against the west wind, wear golden armor all over. ?

Zhu Yuanzhang, born on September 18th of the first year (1328,10,21), was born in a poor peasant family in Haozhou Zhongli. Among all the brothers in the family, Zhu Yuanzhang ranked eighth, so he was called Zhu Chongba. The local areas are very poor and have little spare money to study, so there is no culture. It is not surprising that people often use numbers to name them.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, in order to make a living, he drove the cattle to the landlord's house. But God didn't intend him to live so comfortably. In the third year of Zheng Zheng (1343), there was a drought and a plague in Haozhou. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and eldest brother both died in this famine, and Zhu Yuanzhang and his second brother had to go their separate ways to make a living.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the vast wilderness road and the bones and remains everywhere, confused and didn't know where to go. He heard that there was a place called Huang Jue Temple not far away, so he went to the temple, and a big monk named Gao Bin took him in and made him a monk.

What is a monk? Is to go anywhere with a pot and a monk's suit. Marginalization? To put it bluntly, he is a beggar. In this war-torn era, where have the people been left? Zhu Yuanzhang often comes back from empty bowls, but also cleans on an empty stomach, burns incense, cooks and washes clothes, and is often scolded by his master.

We can imagine that although the temple saved Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of the temple should not be too good. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang wandered out of the temple, participated in the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, returned to his hometown to form his own team, gradually annexed more territory to the south, defeated his sworn enemy Chen Youliang, and ordered Xu Da and Chang Yuchun to transfer troops to the Northern Expedition to overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Finally, in the first year of Hongwu (1368), he proclaimed himself emperor in Yingtianfu and wrote a passage with his life? Beggar emperor? The legend.

After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he once again came to the long-lost temple to pray for good weather, peace and prosperity. The Buddha is still the golden Buddha, but Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the beggar Zhu Yuanzhang who wanders around begging. Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was coming, the temple had been preparing for several days, just waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to come.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang asked a frightened question as soon as he came: Is it necessary to kneel down? ? Everyone must know what kind of emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was. Countless officials died under him, including many founding fathers, such as Hu, Xu Da and Aquamarine. If he is upset, the life of the monks in the whole temple will be worrying.

Unexpectedly, in the face of this thorny problem, the abbot standing beside Zhu Yuanzhang showed no hurry at all, only to see the abbot put his hands together and said eight words lightly:? The real Buddha doesn't have to visit the clay bodhisattva? Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang really smiled. Not only did I not embarrass the temple again, but I also gave some money when I left.

So-called? Accompany you like a tiger? Zhu Yuanzhang, especially a tiger, the abbot of Shaolin Temple knows how to advance and retreat, and he can patiently and tactfully resolve the hidden crisis through a short sentence. He is a real wise man, at least most officials in the early Ming Dynasty are not as good as him.
