Did Shunzhi really go to Wutai Mountain to become a monk for Hubei?

Those novels are all nonsense. Of course, Shunzhi is indeed a monk, because he was a yogi in his last life. The story goes like this:

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was an old monk who lived in seclusion at the top of Mount Emei. The old monk never goes down the mountain all the year round. He neither eats nor drinks water. He closed his eyes and meditated. A young monk followed him and went down from time to time to buy rice for himself to cook. So the old monk meditated for more than ten years, and his disciples followed him for more than ten years.

One day, the old monk suddenly opened his eyes and said to his disciples, "I'm leaving, so stay here and don't go down the mountain." Hearing this, the disciple grabbed the old monk's clothes and cried, not wanting Master to leave. The old monk comforted him and said, "Don't be sad. We will meet again one day. Then I took out a picture scroll from my sleeve with the image of the old monk on it. This portrait has eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but no eyebrows. The old monk asked his disciples to treasure the portrait of Master, and said, "After I left, after twelve years, you will come down to see me and show him the portrait when you meet someone. If someone helps you paint a picture, it's me. " After the account, the old monk drifted away.

Soon, Zhang He fled to Sichuan, causing the people of Sichuan to bleed into a river. The disciples of the old monk obeyed the master's orders and did not go down the mountain, so their lives were saved. The twelve-year period has arrived, and the apprentice has gone down the mountain. At this time, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, Fu Lin, the ninth son of Huang Taiji, succeeded to the throne, and was called Emperor Zhang, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, with the title Shunzhi.

The young monk has been running around for more than ten years, looking for the master all over the world, but he has never found it. Later, the disciples begged to go to Beijing, just as the emperor shunzhi was hunting in the suburbs. The young monk didn't know that this was a royal team, but he just remembered the master's instructions, so he stepped forward to offend the empire and asked the emperor shunzhi to look at the paintings. The bodyguard was frightened and wanted to arrest the old monk's apprentice, but was stopped by Emperor Shunzhi. He asked the young monk to open the scroll and have a look. After the young monk opened the picture scroll, the emperor shunzhi looked at it and said in surprise, "Why didn't this portrait draw eyebrows?" "Life around take inkstone, brush, the emperor shunzhi personally add eyebrow to the portrait.

The old monk's apprentice was already in tears, kneeling on the ground and shouting, "Master, I found you! ..... ぃ. Two people looked at each other, the emperor shunzhi was surprised. So the young monk told the old monk's instructions exactly. The emperor shunzhi suddenly realized that he was an old monk in Emei Mountain in his previous life! No wonder there is always the idea of becoming a monk.

The emperor shunzhi, born in March 1638, is about to celebrate his 23rd birthday. 16 1 On February 5, 2008, he abandoned the throne in the deep rock of Mount Putuo and fled with his disciples.

After sai-jo abdicated, Michelle Ye, the third son in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, succeeded to the throne, and was known as Emperor Kangxi in history. One of the purposes of Emperor Kangxi's six trips to the south of the Yangtze River was to visit the trail of the emperor shunzhi, but he failed to do so.
